this is g w news live from berlin the helsinki summit provoked some dismay and condemnation across the political spectrum in the u.s. trump returning home to a storm of criticism after refusing to blame russian president vladimir putin for meddling in the twenty sixteen u.s. election that's cost down from the findings of u.s. intelligence agencies even members of his own republican party have slammed that. you can go look at yourself from the level of a snake and that's where i consider vladimir putin he took the word of the k.g.b.

. over the men and women of the cia the white house is now struggling to explain why trump has aligned himself so closely with the russian leader we'll have analysis of that move for you in just a couple of minutes. also coming up a hero's welcome in paris for the world cup champions hundreds of thousands of fans turning out to see live proof of their victory parade down the shah cities in every single member of the t.v. that is to receive france's highest civilian honor. hello and welcome my name's christopher spring eight thanks for joining us president trump has triggered a wave of condemnation in the united states off to openly favoring the russian president over his own intel. agencies after their first ever summit in helsinki

yesterday vladimir putin denied that russia had meddled in the twenty sixteen u.s. election trump accepted that assurance directly contradicting the findings of u.s. intelligence. the finnish capital sweltered in an uncharacteristic thirty degrees as people gathered to watch the biggest show in town the meeting between vladimir putin and donald trump putin though arrived half an hour late trump in turn kept putin waiting before he himself left his hotel yet despite the slights both leaders expressed a desire to improve relations. this agreement between our two countries are well known and president putin and i. discussed them at length today. but if we're going to solve many of the problems facing our world then we are going to have to find ways to co-operated pursuit of shared interests. put in and trump

spent more than two hours in one on one discussions behind closed doors with only translators present true to trump's word of a summit covered everything from trade to terrorism from nato to nuclear weapons to china but there was another question at the top of most minds in this. region was once again president trump mentioned the issue of the so-called interference in the american elections and i had to reason right things i said several times including now in a personal context knowledge that russia has never interfered but he's not going to hear a new interim internal american affairs including the electoral process. but only puts his. foot in denied any knowledge of the twelve russian military intelligence agents who were indicted on friday but said he was prepared to help the u.s. president investigate the matter on the. confidence in my intelligence people but.

president putin extremely strong and powerful. credible offer he offered to have the people working on the case come to work with their investigators with respect to the twelve people i think that's an incredible thank you. and as helsinki bakes relations also appear to be warming between the usa and russia on some issues but the areas on which the european union had hoped for solutions to remain unresolved including the war in syria and iran's nuclear program there's also continuing distrust of a nuclear. and nato military deployment in countries bordering russia. ok lots to talk about here with me in the studio to do so tyson baka an international affairs analyst with the aspen institute here in berlin tyson let's start with the russian president vladimir putin a man trying to escape pariah status on the international stage what's he taking

away from the healthy summit well it's mitigated success for vladimir putin and russia and his regime what his goal was was to put russia on parity with the united states to say that it is a world power that it plays on that level that no only these two countries are kind of at that status and he was brought in from the cold essentially i mean he got a very warm reception from donald trump you could see the personal rip or donald trump took a lot of the talking points that of lattimer putin would have used so for him it was a rhetorical and optical political success ok and what about donald trump himself you know we'll talk about what he took away from the summit in a second what i want to ask you first though is what was he hoping to get out of the summit well this is where you see the preparation sometimes pays off his his intention here was just basically to wing it and that's to some extent what he did he didn't go in with any concrete asks and he didn't come away with much i think

that's been the general consensus i mean when you look at this it's all very shocking but not very surprising this is a pattern that has kind of defined his interactions on the world stage and at home for the past seventeen months so i think it's not surprising to say that there's not much except for criticism of the system in the united states and when we talk about what he really did take away from the summit and in a minute first though let's look at reaction to the health sinking summit back home in the u.s. where donald trump has been facing a wave of criticism from both political camps. disgraceful bizarre a push over and that's condemnation just from the republicans u.s. president donald trump drew stinging bipartisan criticism of the siding with russian counterpart vladimir putin and against his own country's intelligence services of a moscow's denial of interfering in the twenty sixteen u.s. elections u.s. republican senator john mccain called the joint press conference in the house think

one of the most disgraceful performances by an american president in memory. democrats was similarly thunderstruck me in hot tired history of our country americans have never seen a president of united states support an adversary the way president trump is accorded president putin. the president of the united states to side with president putin against american war forcemeat merican defense officials the american intelligence agency is thoughtless it's dangerous it's me we've seen in this last week. president trump treat our allies as adversaries and try to treat an adversary as if they were a friend. following criticism the white house announced trump will meet go make his own cheese today but with even staunch trump allies shocked the u.s. president may have his what cuts out to him just with a tad bit political waters. so with me tyson buchan from the aspen institute tyson

some really very bitter criticism that donald trump will be meeting members of congress later today is that anything more than a cosmetic measure you know is this is this christmas isn't affecting him in any way well i mean with congress in particular you have to know that it's a very hawkish republican caucus institution because of the russia just before he went on the summit the senate passed almost unanimously something backing a resolution backing nato they i think their criticism is real the question is will it filter down into his base where he has that direct that instinctual relationship and they are really the key holders in this in this political situation and coming to trump's perspective on all this watch what he may or may not have taken away from this summit that there are those who say for him it's all about his core supporters is satisfying them is his guiding principle would you agree with that i

think that's right i mean the thing is is that his core supporters before the twenty sixth election didn't really have an opinion because of the russia this seems to be a personal project of his to realign the united states more on an axis with russia and china in contrast to our traditional allies the u.s. is traditional allies in nato japan other democracies and it's an open question as to whether or not he'll succeed in pulling his base to that position ok many thanks for the views that time and baka from butlins aspen institute. and we're now going to get the view from brussels on hand the forests. of the europeans were of course very apprehensive about the health seeking summit about potential concessions that trump might make from what we know he hasn't actually blindsided his european allies is there a sense of relief among them at the moment. christopher dialogue is always that something that european politicians welcome how productive this dialogue as the

russian president indicated really was is a different question and yes i'd say a sense of relief in the sense that this dialogue does not include as you have indicated any damaging concessions or compromises that almost made i'd say rather we have the moment we have a sense of of an ease in europe particularly after an irritating week here in europe visiting brussels and london and european politicians really wondering you know what exactly has he talked about in this private two hour conversation and and why exactly has he helped the russian president back onto the world stage for apparently no cost what we are seeing. growing calls to rethink europe's relationship with the u.s. the german foreign minister for instance went as far as to say this we can no longer completely rely on the white house so what do you think we can expect in the

near future. what the german foreign minister means by restructuring these transatlantic relations as he has as he put it in many european politicians here agree he is doing that via the use strengthening of the way the european union is working itself so for instance when you look at the fans we have seen quite a bit of movement here but also when it comes to trade in extra relations so today the european union and japan will sign a landmark trade free trade deal with japan and many have said you know the way these treat treaties move forward this deal has been done with the speed of light and many would agree thanks to donald trump. many thanks for that reporting from ruffles. we're going to switch our attention now to some of the other stories making news around the world the former u.s. president barack obama has wrapped up a brief trip to kenya he was paying a visit to his father's home village where he showed off his basketball skills as

he opened the sports and training center run by his half sister obama has now traveled on to south africa where hope be attending a tribute to nelson mandela's one hundred. hundreds of demonstrators have taken to the streets of the nicaraguan capital managua as funerals have been held for the victims of a violent crackdown on protesters at least ten people were killed over the weekend when police and government loyal to the country's president any last attack students holding and government protests. at least twenty three people have been injured in hawaii after a chunk of lava smashed through the roof of the tour boat which this video shows the passengers watching the lava flow from the way a volcano on high rise big island when an explosion sent a so-called love a bomb crashing into the vessel the volcano began erupting two months ago. now here in germany can't control the sea has erupted over the case of

a suspected terrorist deported last week to tunisia against the express orders of a court the man identified as a under german privacy laws is alleged to have been the body god of the ceased al qaeda leader osama bin laden german authorities deported him despite a court order blocking the move it's alleged they may have rushed through that deportation before the order could be delivered. his case has been bothering germinal for a tease for yes they suspected semi end of being a dangerous islamist but there was never quite enough evidence to convict him last week he was deported to his home country tunisia a court blocked his deportation but the ruling came too late after his plane had to be parted the judges were not happy. above all that there is no one in films because of the specific date of his deportation just like the court asking to be

fought it appears the judiciary has been led on a merry dance. semi arrived in germany in one thousand nine hundred seventy four thora he's believed he had military training in afghanistan a man have served as bodyguard of al qaeda found osama bin laden in germany became an islamist preacher now he's in the custody of the tunisian police and the authorities there have made it clear that they will not send him back to germany but many tunisian people aren't happy with some e.a. being back in that country. sort of there's no reason to bring him back here he should go on trial in germany we have terrorism here we don't need any more of it internees. it's ok to hand him over to the tunisian authorities because it's his country we have to bring him to justice here in his country tunisia. these are terrorists created by foreign countries and they have to face their responsibility . back in germany of the police and government officials are

relieved to be rid of some day despite the court ruling. you all know that the ruling was imposed to it and i think we should all be relieved that this potentially dangerous person is no longer really german authorities have identified more than seven hundred fifty potentially dangerous islamists more than one hundred fifty of them are currently in custody it's highly unlikely that they will ever set foot on german soil again. well champions from its own back in paris off to the victory of croatia on sunday they have their hands firmly on bat well chris harrington from v.w. sports with me in the studio to talk about that victory to talk about the hero's welcome chris this was some affronts team with a very multicultural feel to it what does that mean for the french nation well inspiration you know really and brotherhood you know this is their second world cup

you look twenty years ago similar diverse background with the team their model actually was black white era and there was actually criticism during this period of time say there were too many black players on the french national side you know fast for twenty years you know brotherhood is the main idea right now everyone is smiling ear to ear and thinking french first and let's keep it all on is this is only football football is no element for a lot of ills that plague society but we have to hold on to hope and hopefully this will last a little bit longer and if by the looks of the faces on all of the presents on shop as it looks like i support the idea of hope let's take a look at the reaction now. i think tory is france tame touching down on home soil the world cup trophy in the secure hands of captain and goalkeeper hugo lloris on the famous song celie's day fans waited patiently for their heroes

was included i'm so happy to be part of this celebration and i was lucky enough to experience it already in one nine hundred ninety eight in two thousand and six when we reached the final now in twenty eighteen it's great. and finally the moment they've all been waiting for. the twenty eight c. world cup champions their champions lapping up the a jew lation was so we've been waiting for like the whole day and we stayed with good words here he and others like him had he had although we did it because they don't really yes. that was you. fans celebrating under a tricolor sky united by the beautiful game the band has

a limited time he was in paris for us for that homecoming party she witnessed the moment when the french team bus and its victorious passengers drove past. her ruling will hurt us. who. who was just. ruined. who will it's experience you will see us through. us through. our arterial route it's perhaps i will. be. was. to dive into lima talking clear clearly enjoying herself there on the shores of this is still with me chris harrington chris let's talk football now

a very young french side you know there was some doubts as to whether they could go all the way they've done it now you what what does the future hold for these guys and i suppose the limit i mean you're looking at killing them by they now eighteen years old he won the best player of the world cup tournaments you know he's one player you have a lot of youth you know sprinkled through this team from finland condemned israel in the china second youngest team yes and lays of the mirror face former but as a good player the list goes on and on and i think that considering they were runners up in the year all previous to this big tournament i think their team to look out for in the next european euro is coming up and then the next world cup considering the youth on this team don't be shocked if they double up on the world cup of course the croatian side that they that they beat in the final a contrast very question an old side a lot of expression. how can they keep going as it were how can they improve

you know it's it will be a little tougher for a correlation you have to factor in how small of a population you're dealing with you're to sing from only four million people are in that small country yet the. a lot of critics of the coach like zero dollars i mean he's going to have a lot of responsibility obviously replacing the key players on that team. in his thirty's. it's also these are the players about twenty years ago this team was just as talented didn't achieve quite as much you know so i'm looking at about a decade maybe more until you find these diamonds in the rough that you can develop and get your team back to this stage because factoring in fred other teams they have a mount of talent on their roster so a lot of young talent coming through the ranks in some of the big nations france england as well chris harrington from sports thank you very much all right. and we're going to focus on croatia now the croatian players themselves made to feel like champions when they got back home to the capital hundreds of thousands of

their fans taking to the streets the team bus taking five hours to navigate a man sixteen kilometers from the airport to the city center is what critias coach and captain had to say about the reception. you know we played for ourselves for our families. i think around here for you and the whole of croatia. for croats in bosnia-herzegovina. around the world. and for our war veterans without them we would not have this flag here. thank you croatia grobe this is a dream come true thanks for everything and we will move forward. to.

see. the. croatian celebrations there but not sentimental business absolutely let's have the business now absolutely from monaco free trade yeah yeah get much as mentioned it earlier you japan christopher and the e.u. and japan are due to sign a free trade deal at a summit currently underway in tokyo the landmark pact will cover a third of the global economy and it will deepen economic ties between the two blocs now that said it's a fairly balanced relationship already last year the e.u. exported goods and services with just over seventy eight billion euros to japan and lookin in the other direction japan's exports to the new well worth a little over seventy seven billion euros the agreement removes most of the duties

under a killer tory barriers to trade between the two sides the deal actually removes ninety nine percent of tariffs on all japanese imports to the e.u. and a little less than that the other way round still. it needs to be ratified but it could be in place by early twenty nineteen now yesterday of course you officials were in beijing for the e.u. china summit today the e.u. and japan signed the economic partnership agreement i would perhaps seeing a shift in economic relations away from the u.s. and towards asia but is what i asked a jet ski chief economist at. definitely this i think that there is really the only symbolic but we already have very productive talks and in china and other free trade agreement to go of japan clearly shows that the e.u. goes on with free trade agreements and also that they will not wait any more for the us. while another free trade deal for to be under wraps is in jeopardy now

italy is in no hurry to ratify see to the free trade deal between the e.u. and canada all those deals still worth the paper they're written on. i think i think they are with that the the difference between the european japanese free trade agreement and said is that the japanese e.u. agreement does not require national parliaments to to ratify them so that makes it much more easier to really implement the agreement with said i think it's obvious there had been opposition before us or from from other member states so therefore i think it is a bit more complicated still we see that i think free trade is still we're not living in a protectionist world and i think also that europe is able to also show the citizens that they can benefit from free trade now another free trade agreement of that dived not too long ago was of course the transatlantic partnership but now

germany industry still promotes a free trade deal with the u.s. calling its teeth to light given current trade tensions do you see any chance for such a deal. honestly right now there are tensions between the u.s. and the e.u. but also the tensions between the u.s. and china i think do not really argue in favor of any any free trade agreement which involves the u.s. right now so i think there the chances are extremely low i think we will where we have to be happy if we do not see a further escalation of the of the trade tensions so far and therefore anything to bly is completely out of the question all right because. a bank in frankfurt thank you so much for your assessment. and the n.b.a. is not being transparent with its pricing that's what the european commission says the convenience of holiday rental service and b. and b. has been a hit with customers and in the firm almost one hundred million dollars in profit

last year but the e.u. says it must be clear about extra fees and charges on top of the rental price. at first glance a b. and b. can look like a real bargain that is until additional charges are added at the end of the booking process charges for services like cleaning and b. and b.'s agency three the european commission says the procedure misleads consumers welcome to the coming together this is you consume also it is we are going on b m b two aligned and conditions with consumer rules and be transparent on the presentation of prices and i will you be and b. does not fully complied is if you will the commission also wants a b. and b. to show clearly if the accommodation on offer is private or commercial is different consumer protection regulations apply b. and b. has long been a thorn in the side of hotel operators as well they say b. and b.

unlawfully sidesteps the vast range of regulations they are forced to to adhere. and here's a reminder of the top stories we're following for you u.s. president trump has returned home to a storm of criticism after refusing to blame russian president vladimir putin for meddling in the twenty six thousand u.s. election instead to try and cost of doubt on the findings of his own intelligence agencies even members of his own party have expressed outrage. and there's been a hero's welcome in paris for the world cup champions hundreds of thousands of fans turned out to see the neighborhood in their victory parade down the subsidy each member of the team is to see france's highest civilian honor the news you don't know. you're watching the news more at the top of the hour.
