intelligence. touching down to a storm of criticism this was not the welcome home president trump would want but off to siding with the russian president over america's own intelligence services it was hardly a surprise and it even came from his own team. today's press conference in helsinki was one of the most disgraceful performances by an american president in memory blasted republican senator and former presidential candidate john mccain the president must appreciate that russia is not our ally rebute republican house speaker paul ryan and democrats were also swift to condemn me and hot tired history of our country americans have never seen a president of the united states support an adversary the way president trump a supportive president putin. the president of the united states to side with

president putin against american law enforcement american defense officials american intelligence agents is thoughtless it's dangerous it's going to. the summit in helsinki between the two presidents was always going to raise eyebrows but it was donald trump's refusal to blame his russian counterpart vladimir putin for meddling in the twenty sixteen u.s. elections that sparked outrage only last friday u.s. prosecutors indicted twelve russian spies a hiking cheering that's election lobel menace president putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today there was no collusion at all everybody knows it but that contradicts mounting evidence against russia the intelligence community that has confirmed. russian intervention you've got the social media

companies facebook twitter you tube confirming russian interference you have all of our partner countries for around europe confirming russian intervention. in an interview off to his meeting with trump putin said u.s. politics was to blame it's absolutely i'm not interested in this issue that it will end this single bit it's the internal political games of the united states you know you didn't mention you were talking of games and it was to football that the russian president turned to having trumped the full was in his court which is growing number of critics believe that it is the u.s. president who has dropped the ball. well there has also been a wave of criticism from former u.s. intelligence officials many condemning trump's dismissal of the assessment of his own intelligence agency's former cia chief john brennan tweeted here donald trump's press conference performance in helsinki rice's two and exceeds the threshold of

high crimes and misdemeanors it was nothing short of treasonous not only were trump's comments imbecilic he is wholly in the pocket of putin's republican patriots where are you meanwhile the director of national intelligence dan coats is facing calls to resign over the president's remarks they include from former cia official larry pfeiffer who tweeted with trunks repudiation of u.s. intelligence dan coats should resign in protest and disgust coats issued a statement after yesterday's summit reiterating u.s. intelligence assessments that russia did meddle in the two thousand and sixteen election and that it continues to try to undermine u.s. democracy well let's talk about all of this with henning rica he's a transatlantic expert at the german council of foreign relations here in berlin that's a think tank thank you very much for joining us now we have seen donald trump brush off other controversy do you think though this press conference will give this investigation a new momentum of course his very soft and bling of putin. place in the hands of those who want to criticize him as being obliged to the russian president as if

there were some some kind of the pressure that putin could could exert on trump but you can always also explain this from trump's need to undermine these investigations to point. to make the indictment pointless to say that russia didn't didn't do anything because it diminishes his his victory in the election it's point is it's positions him as a leader who needed external help actually to win the election so. that might be his attempts by being so so smooth with putin but it backfired a lot because now people are thinking look does he have to hide something you know we've seen quite a backlash as we said both lattimer putin and donald trump i gave interviews to fox news after hundred sixty let's take a look at what trump said to john hannity. i think it's a shame we're talking about nuclear proliferation we're talking about syria and

humanitarian aid we're talking about all these different things and we get questions on the witch hunt. ok heading we should say the witch hunt is of course what dunham calls the russia investigation but does he have a point isn't it good that these two leaders sit together especially with such pressing security issues like syria. usually a summit like this. would help to sign off if two enemy pows have moved closer if there is a period of reparation more and then you can start a new new things to handle but russia is still. very much opposing western western interests in any of these conflicts in europe of course in ukraine. in syria as well so there is no real reports more between the two sides only trump has moved closer to putin putin has won the summit because he had the meeting russia was suddenly again in the center of the world stage and an important player. the need to be outcomes actually did take

a political risk and holding the summit with let me put in do you think it then backfired it did because he stepped off the football of course he hasn't got much to take home there were no agreements that were visible and it's of course questionable how far putin could go i mean he could of course of a better cooperation on ukraine he should do this anyway so this is the real concession he could help along in syria he could maybe bring assad not to attack israeli military or on this on the golan heights but that's basically all assad has already won what he wanted to have in syria nearly and iran has a very own mind in terms of its foreign policy it will not follow putin's lead put in didn't really have a lot to offer and yet he stands here as somebody who who is world leader and important all these conflicts i want to ask you what this all means for europe because this comes off the heels of that very difficult nato summit where we saw

donald trump parading his nato allies for not spending enough on defense he also called the european union a soul when it. comes to trade how worried are europeans looking at the summit in helsinki of course they were afraid that he would give the ways that certain things that he would make a special deal on ukraine would allow. the crimea to be russian that he would offer to seize exercises in the baltic area where it's absolutely necessary that nato trains to be on the spot quickly on to russia so they were afraid of it and this didn't happen but it was also clear that there is a coziness between the two leaders that puts it in question whether trump is really the leader of the strong. the taring position against russia i think that he has demanded in brussels where he wanted to have payments and criticize the germans for doing the ghastliness with russia so this contradiction is disturbing you do not know what will happen when the next meeting when he's in

a positive brotherly mood again all right having we get from the german council of foreign relations thank you so much for joining us in our studio and. let's move on now to some other stories making headlines around the world former u.s. president barack obama has wrapped up a brief trip to kenya he paid a visit to his father's home village where he showed off his basketball skills as he opened a sports and training center run by his half sister obama traveled on to south africa to attend a tribute to nelson mandela's one hundredth birthday. japanese media saying extreme heat wave has killed more than a dozen people there in the last three days thousands more have been taken to taken to the hospital for heat related illnesses the soaring temperatures are hampering recovery efforts in parts of the country hits by deadly floods last week. in hawaii at least twenty three people have been injured after a chunk of lava smashed through the roof of a tour boat and this video shows passengers watching the lava flow from killer way of all came when an explosion sent a so-called lava bomb crashing into the vessel the volcano began erupting on

hawaii's big island two months ago. and pilgrims in the russian city of work have marked one hundred years since the killing of tsar nicholas the second and his family thousands marched in a procession from the execution site to the river where the bodies were discarded bolshevik troops killed nicholas during the russian civil war eighteen months after he abdicated power as russia's last emperor. here in germany controversy has erupted over the case of a suspected terrorist deported last week to tunisia against the orders of a court now the man identified as sami a under german privacy laws is alleged to have been the bodyguard of deceased 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 the deportation before that order could be delivered. his case has been bothering germinal for a tease for years they suspected semi and 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 plane had departed the judges were not happy. that no one in films because of all the specific date of his deportation are slight the court asking to be bought it appears the judiciary has been led on a merry dance. semi arrived in germany in one thousand nine hundred seventy four thora g.'s believe he had military training in afghanistan a man have served as bodyguard of al qaeda found osama bin laden. in germany he 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 their country. a 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 and they 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 what is if you. back in germany of the police and government officials are relieved to be rid of some day despite the cold rooting. all know that the ruling was imposed traitor and i think we should all be relieved that this potentially dangerous person is no longer in germany 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. libya's coast guard says it has

intercepted some one hundred sixty europe bound african migrants including dozens of women and children in the mediterranean sea the authorities there say the migrants were given humanitarian and medical aid and were to a refugee camp as it is funny to char reports from neighboring tunisia many people who fail to make the crossing out to try again but for others there is no second chance hardly anyone visits this place on the tunisian coast others sent here are doing main so women children and young men they drowned in the mediterranean chasing an uncertain dream a dream off life in europe. their stories lie buried with them in these makeshift graves no names no identities no headlines across from the sea over there in europe the focus has shifted from whole to help migrants to how to keep migrants here. he wants to give them dignity shamsuddin is a fisherman here near to tourist hot spot of sadducees he has buried the remains of

three hundred people to stop the crossings europe has proposed the creation of so-called disembarkation platforms in north africa they are migrants would be able to apply for asylum. isn't impressed. with the missions europe doesn't care about these people whether they are alive or dead building reception centers isn't a solution instead europe should give people the wealth that was stolen from them. to. a beach near december tree this is where fisherman discovered a washed up bodies. to find them before the local children to i'm on my way to a nearby migrant center where some of those rescued find temporary refuge there i meet the desha from the democratic republic of congo four months she was a sex slave in libya she tells me. when they discovered i was

pregnant they let me go. oh no i don't want to stay here engine is here i want to go to europe. tunisia has no functioning asylum system and it has to not only deal with migrants passing through but also with increasing numbers of its own youth who dream of a brighter future these young men died trying to reach italy what in seven thousand tunisians try to cross the mediterranean last year while i was one of them he invites me to his home to share his story. and hurt them of a. is no hope here the dead nor alive it's all the same we don't have any jobs or future nothing in this country kills our dreams that's why i want to escape. the well survive several boat accidents in the mediterranean but he's undeterred he wants to try again. if i stay here in

tunisia i have zero hope. in europe i had least have a chance to hear. but europe doesn't want to take migrants like well so who exactly is responsible for those rescue at sea. we have to stop treating migrants like hostages and using them as political leverage we have to stop treating them as a tool with which to get money from europe and we have to be humane with them and guarantee them no rights or freedom of movement because. tunisia's government has repeatedly said it does not want to be the gate keeper for migrants trying to reach europe caught in limbo thousand see trying to lock on the mediterranean as the only option the spite the dangers.

members are yet to be sentenced. now that the world cup is done the dust of the business of big name transfers is getting underway and they don't come much bigger than christiane oh we're now the portuguese at forward greeted by his new fans and to reign as he moves from real madrid to you dentists to went to medical in to rain after his one hundred million euro transfer he will continue wearing his iconic number seven shirt as you bent us we're now though has a four year deal with the italian giants and have this to say at his first press conference. a few words. for me it's another challenge all of challenge. will be tough i know that's very difficult to lead it's very very tough but i will be ready jewelry is ready i will be ready i will be there. all right now in this age of trade disputes a huge free trade deal monica between two countries and we somehow sort of reflect their colors. the e.u.

and japan have just agreed a free trade deal which will create the world's biggest open economic area addressing the press to a signing ceremony in tokyo iau council president donna tusk said the deal sent a strong message against protectionism the agreement removes ninety nine percent of terrorism all japanese imports to the e.u. and a little less than that the other way round japan and the e.u. together make up a third of global g.d.p. most. of them are on that deal let's cross over to get. you correspondent in brussels and our financial correspondent ali bods in frankfurt i'd like to start with you georg according to the european commission the e.u. japan deal is the largest ever negotiated by the e.u. how significant is this is especially right now in times of protectionism what monica of course there is the economic value of this massive trade deal but there's also the strategic significance and i would say that at this moment even the the

more important part of the message here being that global markets remain open remain rule based and that is why don't go junker the head of the european commission in this press conference with the japanese prime minister made clear that there is no protection in protectionism and that there is no unity at a time where there is unilateral isn't a message that one could think could be directed at president trump of course the question is always how well balanced are these kind of trade deals what would you say is one side better off than the other and what trade volume are actually talking about. i think they're differently better off than the other but they're pretty well evenly balanced and contrast for example to the trade relationship between the usa and china where it's lopsided in favor of china but the e.u. exports about seventy eight billion euros worth of goods to japan and japan the

other way around seventy seven billion so when you eliminate tariffs it pretty well works out to the monetary benefit for both sides but for the e.u. especially it's interesting that a part of this deal is opening up the agriculture and food part of japan which was very very protective now or they can import cheeses and other products irish whiskey you know interesting thing is where before japan could put imitation products into its supermarkets for consumers which didn't really come from ireland or from italy now if it says parmesan or irish whiskey it has to be the real thing it has to be the real parmigiano which is why this deal has also been like tongue in cheek was dumped cheese costs of course cause of history in germany just briefly is this a competition how do comic cars here react to that. i think the competition will increase because when you let tariffs go on japanese cars there are so many brands here they each have a boat

a two to four percent of market share so there will probably be a few less volkswagens fords or astras from opal sold but the same thing will go the other way around too and german carmakers make a good profit from selling a few but they do sell premium cars and japan all right then just one more time to today off because there has been rising protests a backlash against any kind of free trade in recent years and consumer advocates will warning also about this particular agreement do they have any point. of the commission has rejected that critique saying that the steel deal will not lead to deregulation or privatization but look overall this deal is big in size but not necessarily inhibitions or social standards are not part of it critics here say but also of the commission has learned their lesson from the canada free trade deal seat so the whole issue off of investment protection and the whole issue

of dispute settlement courts has been left out with the advantage that ratification is a lot easier so all that is needed now is thumbs up from the european parliament and from the council so for america e.u. member states and national parliaments will not have to give a green light for this deal. in brussels and only ponse in frankfurt thank you very much to both of you. jeff bezos might call his warehouses fulfillment centers as alison workers across europe a feeling anything bought fulfilled thousands of employees are walking off the job today at six amazon warehouses here in germany to fight for labor contracts to guarantee healthy working conditions the strikes began in spain and poland coinciding with amazon's prime day workers in poland to us staging a work to rule action amazon expects only a fraction of its twelve thousand workers here in germany to join the strike. and
