this is the the only news line from above and donald trump makes a spectacular turnaround on his health thinking summit remarks facing a barrage of criticism he now says russia did meddle in the u.s. election but to no effect he also says he misspoke when he said he sold no reason why russia would interfere but he meant to say the opposite will bring a reaction from washington. and also on the program remembering a political icon in his highest profile speech since leaving the white house a former u.s. president barack obama delivers a tribute to the late south african president nelson mandela the eighth of what

wouldn't be his one hundredth birthday. until gail welcome to the program u.s. president donald trump has made down about face on remarks he made that a summit with russia's vladimir putin speaking at a cabinet meeting he now says except russia did meddle in the u.s. election he went on to say that he misspoke yesterday when he said he saw no reason for russia to interfere i accept our intelligence communities conclusion that russia's meddling in the two thousand and sixteen election took place pretty of the people also. a lot of people out there there was no pollution at all. clear on that there was no collusion let's get more from d.w.

so washington bureau chief an example of naaman welcome alexandra this is not a president known for backing down so what has brought this about. i think that was the harsh criticism the president has been facing since to with blood in there putting criticism most notably within his own republican party with republican lonely occurs describing what they saw in housing key areas seem disgraceful and shameful and with republican leaders in congress trying to distance themselves from this president and tromso all of this on t.v. we know that he likes to look good on t.v. we know that he seems to be obsessed with optics and this is actually not the first time that he backed down it was the case when he's administration implemented its

policy of separating migrant kids from their of parents at the mexican border and after harsh criticism from within the republican party on this the president changed this policy so let's hear more from the statement that was issued here is on claims of russian interference in the sixty election. it should have been obvious i thought it would be obvious but i would like to play it just in case it wasn't and if you sentence in my remarks i said the word would instead of would have. to say and should have been i don't see any reason why i would or why it wouldn't be russian so. construe repeated the word would instead of word. and i thought it would be maybe a little bit on the transcript or in on the actual video. should have been

and i don't see any reason why it wouldn't be russia. so now we're all clear about how all the president's critics reacting to this. i don't think that he's going to convinced his fiercest critics because they are not buying this especially his explanation that their reason for this misunderstanding was he nice use. negative but it will be crucial how the republican party is going to react whenever they would like to have full confrontation with this president or not i would assume there are not interested in that because they are facing a very difficult mid-term election in november and therefore they would like to avoid and they think that would mean that they are risking a majority in congress. face

a lot of criticism for the helsinki summit in the first place he faced criticism for the way he performs yesterday he's going to get more for doing this about face is this a tool damaging to. yes i think so i think that the damage has been done and i think that this president seems to have lost his credibility a swell among many a lawmakers here in the united states because he tans not to tell the truth he tends to use lies to. present his policy and therefore it is so difficult to believe and to think that he is credible and to believe what he's saying talking to fans for joining us on nine hundred four naaman in washington. now former u.s. president barack obama has paid tribute to nelson mandela and all the former south

african leaders but in his most high profile speech since leaving office mr obama use the nelson mandela lecture to urge people around the world to emulate the apartheid figurehead despite an even progress in south africa itself. most blacks in south africa live in townships like this one. a fish see a letter is hoping that barack obama's visit here will show the world that south africa is still a developing country feel yes we care it to us like. everybody to get you can do use the same applies to neighbors and when they were. around ten thousand people listen to obama's speech in a stadium in johannesburg. the tickets were free of fierce manage to get one yellow came to embody the universal aspirations of this
