intelligence agencies that russia did attempt to influence those elections. except our intelligence community's conclusion that russia's meddling in the two thousand and sixteen election took place could be for the people also. a lot of people out. there was no collusion at all. went on to say that he made a mistake at the summit news conference when he said he saw no reason why russia would want to interfere his his explanation and a key sentence in my remarks i said the word would instead of one hundred. percent and should have been i don't see any reason why i wouldn't or why i didn't want to be rushing so. just to repeat it i said the word would instead of what he. and the sentence should have been and i thought i would be maybe

a little bit unclear on the transcript or unclear on the actual video said should have been i don't see any reason why it wouldn't be a russian. sort of a double negative. and just to give you the context of all this here is a reminder of what trump said in hell thinking on monday in his statement by the way he starts by referring to dan coats the director of national intelligence in the us my people came to me did coats came to me and some others they said they think it's russian i have president putin he just said it's not russian i will say this i don't see any reason why it would be but i really do want. the u.s. president that trying to quell a political storm back home our washington bureau chief reform naaman has been putting things in context for us. trans twenty four hour reversal is a sign that the president is on the earth by the intensity of the backlash he

provoked however his that tam to perform damage control is not likely to convince his fiercest critics they are not buying his excuse that he misspoke during his joint press conference with the russian president the top democrat in the senate chuck schumer responds tweeting it's twenty four hours too late and in the wrong place and more and more people here in the us find it difficult to believe this president who often lies to justify controversial remarks decisions however it will be crucial how the republican leadership is going to react to trump's backtrack the party is facing a challenging term election and the will probably try to avoid a direct confrontation with the president fearing that that could lead to a loss of control in the house and the senate. nominee in

present even in these mundane tasks. that when there's an assessment for food and somebody says this is the son of an i.a.s. family as i go out there won't be any food for that family. then this guy blames another family who wasn't i and so they don't get any food either. you. have to run man says about half the people in his district supported the i.r.s. some from fear some from conviction. the evidence of what that led to is everywhere in mass graves like this one. you know my house my son just wanted to cross the street they shot him in the back he was my only son. so he had six children. have to rock man asks for details tries to comfort her but there's nothing he can do. all of the. accusations eat

through the community to try to find out what's real and what's not after a man is registering everyone he sends the data to the police military and secret services to be checked against lists of known i asked perpetrators. those who didn't do anything can stay those who cause problems after the. some of those thought to have worked with i os are still in the neighborhood. but they're not coming out to talk. the graffiti opposite their house is clear i asked we want your blood it says. the problem is that people are thinking about what happened all the time they don't have anything to do we need to give them word jobs which could reformat their minds

i think the mind is like a memory stick if you don't raise it properly the grief will return all the time the. reconstruction of the city is slow after a rough man would like more support from the government in baghdad jobs schools infrastructure. reconstruction a society is even slower the phone rings it's not weirdo with an i asked fighter. she says she wants to return home even if the families in the neighborhood accept you i could let you come back but i'm sorry to tell you that the people don't want you here. reconciliation he says will take a hundred years he retreats into his work mending things takes his mind off the huge problems he cannot fix. ok time now to catch up with some of the other stories

making news around the world relatives of those killed when the laser airlines flight m h seventeen was downed over ukraine had been marking the disastrous fourth anniversary during the ceremony in the netherlands each relative read out the names and ages of their deceased family members two hundred ninety eight people were killed when the plane was shot down by a russian made missile international investigators have blamed pro russian rebels. latin america's leftist leaders have wrapped up a three day conference in havana cuba venezuelan president nicolas maduro lashing out at the united states accusing washington off from entering unrest in his country the delegates and so pledge support for president daniel figures the left wing government in nicaragua which is facing ongoing unrest. former u.s. president barack obama has used a speech in south africa to attack what he called the loss of shame among political

leaders he was speaking at a tribute to nelson mandela on the centenary of the former south african leaders birth a bomb also called on people to resist the rise of political strongman in an apparent reference to populist leaders across the world for democracy to work obama said people should follow mandela's example but democracy demands. now we're able also to get inside the reality of people who are different than us so we can understand their point of view maybe we can change their lives but may not change ours. he lived this complex. in prison he started off the cause so that he could better understand. the people who were jailing him and when he got out of prison he extended the heads of those who were jailed because he knew that they had to be a part of the democratic south africa that he wanted to build. to make peace with

anatomy you wrote one must work. with that it. that enemy becomes one's partner. well that south africa marks the mandela santina it's worth pausing for a moment to remember his extraordinary life a life that changed not only his nation but politics around the world and ela rose to prominence when he joined the african national congress back in one nine hundred forty three he began traveling all over south africa speaking out against apartheid and till nine hundred sixty two and police arrested him as he was then sentenced to life in prison on charges of sabotage. twenty seven years later after a massive political change in south africa until it was released from prison he quickly resumed his political work and was then elected president in one nine hundred ninety four hours upon time was abolished remained active in public life until his death in twenty thirty. so little doubt about

nelson mandela's contribution to the past of his nations of africa but today it's a nation with many troubles including high unemployment with few prospects for the future the freedom mandela fought for has little to offer many people in south africa especially the young generation. so wetter south africa the township to the seas way cozy still calls home he's part of the first generation of children born in the hopeful years after apartheid that the rainbow nation nelson mandela dreamt of is far from reality he says the friend who from a nation is availability of drugs everywhere in the story today yeah definitely a lot of crime lot of it that's owing one nation as well. so many young south africans say they've had enough of the myth of mandela.

they may have the freedom he fought for but what use is that they are scared about a job or prospects but. people say the guy's all out man everybody says. they can sit through so yes people have lost their land in the war and. their lenders deal with the people who took it and stuff so. i don't know ok let me fixed it can somebody fix that. not everyone has lost their optimism kaley cliff it is a student of political science in johannesburg i think senate. nominee is still. something of a symbol of peace in the conciliation i think and he was an excellent statesman more than that he represented what it was to simply just be

a good person and i think that's the reason it's with the. as the child of a colored mother and white father kaylee clifford personifies the reconciliation mandela fought for. a member of south africa's young well educated elite she's able to take advantage of the opportunities in this country. but cliff it is aware that not everyone has benefited from mandela's legacy i don't know whether it is enough to interest to commit certain phrases and not the heart of the society and i think that's probably why we find ourselves in this situation mightily when you sit still very angry at least a lot of resentment and sort of tension pumping beneath the surface. and an issues of race loss to the recent attorney. some people have stopped engaging with politics entirely to listen sway cosey and his friends say politicians are only interested in winning votes. so they've taken the task of change making into their

own hands on a street corner they've built a small youth club with a skate track and vegetable garden where people there was. only vibrant we're supposed to kind of hold it up so we just while it with you has got hold of you and everybody makes mistakes are all good for them all to just do everything. we can to our own thing. to listen this way and his friends may have lost faith in politics and in the legacy mandela left behind and yet they've demonstrated here that individuals of whatever background can together still bring change. turning now to nicaragua where security forces have been laying siege to an opposition neighborhood in the capital managua part of a crackdown on anti-government protests at least ten people were killed over the weekend when police and gunmen loyal to president daniel ortega attacked student

where you see for german tennis. winning wimbledon dancing with djokovic very nifty footwork there but now it's business with monica joe yes and. nothing rosy to write home about christopher i'm afraid the turkish lira is plunging inflation is soaring well normally this is a classic scenario for a rate hike but not under turkish president recha type elder one since his reelection he has moved to cement his control over the economy claiming the exclusive power to appoint central bank rate setters and naming his son in law to oversee economic policy when they are already under strain has since taken a further beating with investors fearing free market forces are being suspended under an autocracy w.c. your hand reports from istanbul. the price of onions has quadrupled potatoes and tomatoes are also far more expensive than they were

a year ago turkey is in the grip of spiraling inflation and everyone seems to be feeling the effects. in these cities we can't afford the things we need we can't go on holiday we have to limit ourselves unfortunately. president directed tire perry to one has promised his people a glowing future but he says he needs to consolidate his power to make it happen his control now extending even over the central bank some analysts say they're living in an autocracy. proud. of all the institutions that. are on the swerver. the freedoms. and the simplest solution. heir

to one influence of the central bank has accelerated the turkish nero's depreciation global investors have been pulling their money out of the country for months sending the lira tumbling twenty five percent against the dollar since the start of the year that's made imports more expensive. business is increasingly this is a very interesting. bill gertz more for. work growth tops the list of arid ones priorities so he's shying away from further interest rate hikes that in turn promotes inflation a vicious circle that's affecting a lot of turks some economists just that the lira is turkey's last remaining opposition party has. sent us the support and she joins us now in istanbul junia type everyone promises grows but reality

looks very different only recently fitch downgraded to turkey's credit worthiness from your perspective how bad is it. well growth figures are not telling the fool's story turkey was cut deep into junk territory by fitch ratings because the country's current account deficit is widening the turkish lira is plunging and inflation is at a record high with fifteen per cent so prices are increasing for households and businesses alike and these are the figures that people can really feel in their daily lives many people i talk to here are extremely frustrated they complain about everything getting more expensive from food to fuel on the employment is also high but if you asked miss to add on the economy is just on the right track he also says that he doesn't want to hear about criticism from international credit rating agencies to the contrary he promised to make turkey one of the ten largest

treasury and finance it basically as the chief economist has not gone down well with the markets mr abbott is replacing mohammed shem shake an investor friendly former merrill lynch chief economist who was a very trusted expert in his field so now the big question is will missed out on his new team why they are promising to rick rebalance the economy and to decrease inflation will they really be able to manage this fragile economy and manage to regain trust with foreign investors more of you need a han reporting from us from istanbul thank you so much. european regulators getting ready to find google several billion euros for abusing its dominant market position later today the european commission has accused the company of requiring mobile phone manufacturers to preach install it's a search engine and browser as a condition of licensing apps it also accuses google of preventing companies from
