that historic u.s. russia summit which sparked a for your eous a backlash and still we verb orating today president saddam will trump triggering a wave of condemnation in the united states after appearing to favor the russian president over his own intelligence agencies all after their first ever summit in helsinki yesterday vladimir putin denied that russia had meddled in the twenty sixteen u.s. election trump except that assurance contradicting the findings of u.s. 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 party 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. i mean hard tired history of our country americans have never seen a president of the united states support an adversary the way president trump has supported president putin. for 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 weak. 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 for hiking cheering that election. will 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 an interest i'm not interested in this issue that it will interest 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 telling trump's temple was in his court but is

growing number of critics believe that it is the u.s. president who has dropped the ball. all right well the white house in damage control today in washington bureau chief alexander phenomena is tracking reactions alexander many have described president trump as the teflon don i mean the notion that he can do no wrong nothing is going to stick by his own admission he could go down fifth avenue and shoot someone in who wouldn't affect his popularity with his base or the republican party is this a turning point. it might be many critics say that they are convinced it is a turning point and the defining moment of trump's presidency don't know trump is facing soft tsunami of criticism not only from democrats but also within his own republican party where many lawmakers have described his performance in helsinki as

disgraceful shameful or embarrassing and now the democrats are calling on trump's national security team to testify before congress they are calling on for additional legislation to impose new sanctions on russia and house speaker opel and a top republican in the house said today that he is willing to consider additional sanctions against russia however we have to say that step president himself doesn't seem to be impressed by that at all today he doubled down on twitter saying that he's meeting with putin was even better that he's meeting with the you asked nat'l allies alexander in the meantime of dan coats prison terms director of national intelligence that came out almost immediately saying that the assessment of russian meddling are clear for the intelligence community this is an established fact they're not arguing about whether it actually happened some now want him to go

further want to pull up this tweet by former cia official larry pfeiffer he tweeted with trump's repudiation of the u.s. intelligence dan coats should resign in protest and disgust alexander your thoughts. code's himself publicly ignored the calls for him to resign he issued that statement yesterday as you said doubling down on the on the his latest findings saying that it was russia behind it twenty sixteen elections and even saying that russia is continuing its efforts to undermine the american demand for the mocha a c. and this statement he also saved said that he is willing to provide objective intelligence to serve the u.s. national interests and that doesn't seem like he was getting ready to resign and they are many in the intel community people such as. for

mandela's vision. it is a plain fact that racial discrimination still exists in both the united states and south africa. and it is also a fact that the accumulated disadvantages of years of institutionalized oppression have created yawning disparities in income and in wealth and education and health in personal safety and access to credit. former president barack obama speaking there in south africa and on the also mandela's birthday tannery we asked young people across the african continent what apartheid icon means to them.

a new life in europe as the w's funny fish are reports from tunisia many people who've failed to make the crossing ones vow to try again for others there's no second chance. hardly anyone visiting this place on the tunisian coast to understand here are do remain so women children and young men they drowned in the mediterranean chasing an uncertain dream a dream a flight in europe. there's 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 too hard to keep migrants here. he wants to give them dignity shamsi dean is a fisherman here near to tourist hot spot of saturday's 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 machines 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 a fisherman discovered a washed up bodies. wants to find them before the local children do i'm on my way to a nearby migrant center where some of those rescued find temporary refuse their 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. i don't want to stay here in

this 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 the increasing numbers of its own youth who dream of a brighter future these young men died trying to reach italy wooden 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. hope here. 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 at least have a chance to hit but europe doesn't want to take the migrants like well so who exactly is responsible for those rescue at sea. we have to stop treaty 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. 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. sure reporting from i want to hand you over to our now in two regions pushing back against protectionism and. the european union and japan have signed

a new trade deal that will create the world's biggest open economic area of the deal which could come into effect next year or unite around six hundred million people across both markets it's the largest ever agreement negotiated by the european union and removes nearly all tariffs on trade between the two regions together the e.u. and japan make up almost a third of global g.d.p. now after five years of negotiating the two sides have reached a deal that creates the world's largest open economic area addressing the press after a signing ceremony in tokyo european council president donald to have kept this to say. graphically we are far apart but politically economically recruit hard to get in the close we both firmly believe in open live corp rules based international order. and free trade

the two blocks are ready have a pretty balanced trade relationship last year the e.u. exported goods and services worth seventy eight billion euros to japan and imports are just a little less that trade volume is expected to increase substantially as a result of the deal. the agreement will see the removal of a host of trade barriers enabling the e.u. to export products like milk nice and wine to japan without paying tariffs the e.u. in turn will no longer demand ten per cent tariffs on japanese cars a move that comes as good news for a well known japanese brands like toyota nissan and mitsubishi. the deal still needs to be ratified by the european parliament if all goes to plan the agreement will go into effect in the autumn of twenty nineteen. brantley bartz from the frankfurt stock in strange. apart from the symbolic push for free trade how

important is this. it is important and not just symbolism but it's going to push the economies of both sides along that's what the european commission is convinced of it says that it will massively increase the volume of trade by up to twenty five percent in the next couple of years of course once the full slew of the measures take effect there are some intermediate steps where the full effects won't be felt she had to in order to allow certain sectors to get used to free trade to ninety nine percent of those tariffs falling by the wayside and you exporters are expected to save a lot of money there is that car aspect it was just mentioned and of course if there are no tariffs anymore on japanese cars they're very popular here in europe as well and in germany toyota. honda it's officially then you have more competition

for domestic brands but at the same time japan also no tariffs so european manufacturers like the premium makers with their luxury cars have a chance to get a toehold in japan lots of money there lots of money to be made with big margins on big cars but it's a big push for free trade but fed chairman jerome powell also weighed in on trade today what did. he was testifying in front of the u.s. senate and basically on economic policy and the federal federal reserve policy interest rates and while he insisted that he wasn't. commenting on the current get tough trade policy directly he did say that history indicates that higher tariffs harm growth while lower tariffs support growth an important message and in principle countries who open trade have grown with faster with higher with higher incomes so that was an important message here for the market he also says that he's

looking at slowly gradually rising interest rates all this good news for the market the dax clearly gaining traction from that near the end of the day here what he wants in frankfurt thank you. and there's no reason why japanese comic has to like the gesta deal comma both in japan and in the us have shrunk in the first half of this year but the european common market has grown almost three percent in spite of the diesel emissions scandal and the looming trade war with the us from january to june around eight point four million new cars were registered for europe's three. remains the most popular brand with almost twenty five percent of market share it's followed by the french carmakers citron with over sixteen percent on ground zero with just over ten percent of the prize fund for black behind the pack with a six percent share. and that's all your business back to leyland from still on the

suburbs known as the bar you which are dominated by immigrant families and that includes killian. francis standout young star at the world cup in russia. this drab nondescript public housing block in the parisian suburb of bondi is where francis knew a shock. superstar grew up killian and bobby not even twenty years old and already a world champion. just like many in the band and bobby comes from an immigrant family his mother is from algeria and his father was born in cameroon doria and know the player personally for them the world cup was a turning point in their early canonical seclusion each analysts only come in for a negative dish was into a force on the problems in the suburbs this time they have for a totally different reason a positive one it's about a guy like us he grew up in and is now on top of the wealth. that paints a totally different picture that means you can really explore them but they're even

talking about buffy in the us through and the chinese no into honestly you've got to be proud to do the whole world's talking about today and it's hit the big deal if you go to more than half of the players on the french national team come from immigrant families including many from subsaharan africa. despite france winning the world cup not all of the french are namor some of them they'll find in the town of aba via a two hour drive north of paris this is a stronghold of the far right national front. but fisher not really thrilled i'm french france's team is practically all black that's weird of it all to top of the us. but nowadays you get used to everything over to it too. many of the younger generation for their part could care less about the ethnicity of france's soccer players. listen and saturday my favorite love here she wants to

marry you that was my act. when the final whistle blew people here went wild the crowd celebrated the championship together ethnicity and race didn't seem to matter. oh you mean your report you first time france won i was only four years old but now i'm really living it it's fantastic that's our generation the whole world is here. these are moments that could change france but bacary who play soccer out in bobby's former youth club knows that this brotherly ness could be short lived at france last you may have heard things like leftists of african france and there are too many africans on the team etc it will always be under the microscope basically it means will always have to win. the young people here in bondi now hope that the success

of their superstar will make him forget them and that end up pay and friends take their interests to heart. while staying with football in the smallest country to ever qualify for a world cup or looking for a new coach all this after i sense a heimer holograms than decided to leave the job after seven years in charge of getting in the first world cup iceland held former world champs argentina to a one all draw a when out in the group stage holograms and now was previously co coach with sweden larsa larger back with the pair guiding iceland to the quarterfinals euro two thousand and sixteen. argentinian football legend diego maradona has inked a three year deal to become the president of dynamo breast a first division team and bowlers while the nine hundred eighty six world cup winner was given a rousing reception ahead of washing his first match marred on a promise france will create a team that will battle for the title and he hopes his presence can help improve
