take a look at the highlights of this year's event and here are some live pictures right . thanks for tuning it it's one pm here in the russian capital you're watching the weekly on our team to national with us. this week r t spoke exclusively to the russian lawyer at the center of a scandal over her meeting with president eldest son ahead of last year's election it's the latest in a range of stories claiming there was direct collusion between the kremlin and trump in order to get him into the white house however we've been hearing the lawyer side of the story. we all know her name now a television star telly official natalia vessel needs sky natalia the sound this guy of natalia vessel in its. wake up one morning and find you are the focus of the all the fire and stream media it.

turns out it was nothing we managed to track down the elusive natalia vest on its guy a woman who has almost become a household name in recent weeks was off to her meeting with donald trump jr last year and which she said she wanted to discuss the reputation of one particular man and his association with the magnitsky along with his past time of lobbying for u.s. sanctions on russian individuals this person who she says has most of mine did this latest russia truck collusion scandal. today i have to think about my safety first and foremost about the safety of my family my four children it's been revealed that mr browder has been gathering information about me so who is william browder maybe

not a familiar name for most but for thirty's in russia he's a wanted man quite literally he's wanted for tax fraud on top of this leaked us state department e-mails reveal that browder was actively gathering information about wrestling at sky ahead of when the scandal broke and that included personal details such as where she lives so given this information in beslan it's seems quite convinced that browder has harbored a personal vendetta against her perhaps something to do with the facts that he once lost a case in court now this was a two thousand and thirteen case in which beslan it scarred represented the cyberspace company presence on holding which is owned by a russian businessman wrote to have accused the company of money laundering. the case was finally settled in may this year with no admission of guilt by a preface on you or mr browder and his team have been gathering information about my family they try to find out whether i'm married or not whether i have children or not they found photos of my house and sent them to call parker he's

a famous man in the house of representatives they shared all these details with people from the state department i don't know why he's doing this i can only make assumptions here i see today's situation has been heating up for ten days or so as a very well orchestrated story concocted by one particular manipulator and that is mr browder. now what is best known for is his role in the magnitsky act this is an act named after a russian lawyer who was once employed by a ground as company in russia he was later arrested in connection with a tax fraud case and he died was being held in detention browder later played a major role in law being for a set of sanctions to be imposed by the us on the number of russian individuals over magnitsky death brought it claims he knew magnitsky personally but according to vesa lipsky on this couldn't be further from the truth and this is where i don't try and do nia enters the picture and the big question for many is why does the

next guy was so keen to inform the trunk team about the many hours he went brought his reputation. this was the story that i brought to donald trump jr i wanted him to know that browder a person who gave up his us citizenship is trying to manipulate people in congress and now we even know their names the media have disclosed them he was making all those connections even though he hadn't lived in the country for twenty years was not paying any taxes not doing anything useful in fact his only mission was to go after his opponents while gaining some political capital it was nothing but retaliation from this man who did this in order to distract everyone with the big story. so can you refute this information from the emails released by donald trump jr where goldstone. i don't know that person and now we come to the name rob goldstone when don't turn jr went public last week it included emails from the entertainment publicist and which he claims to have information on hillary

clinton which quote would incriminate hillary and her dealings with russia and would be very useful for donald trump's campaign but that apparently this guy is just a music producer my guess is that this man is used to selling and promoting ideas some product so he decided that i would be this product for sale and promotion. and it was also within the goldstone e-mails that the mention of russia's prosecuted general came up leading to questions of a vessel that skier's possible ties to the kremlin. the prosecutor general's office of the russian federation deals with criminal cases that is the role defined by federal law and the constitution there's no me and the prosecutor general where are mine where is the prosecutor general. now that's when it's guy or woman unwillingly thrust into the spotlight is having serious concerns for her safety especially considering how she has a family and four children who are now also vulnerable to media focus but despite

this she's by no means running away from the attention and says she's more than ready to testify in congress to the senate or the states but let's put it this way i'm ready to clarify the situation behind this mass hysteria but only through lawyers or testifying in the u.s. senate. there have been chaotic scenes near the holy site of temple mount and drizzle and that's after israeli police moved in with tear gas stun grenades and water cannon to this burst hundreds of palestinians how. close it is gathered to pray and to pray near the temple mount and a show of protest against a hike in security at the site this really troops moved in to confront the crowd responded by throwing stones and setting tires on fire tensions in the area happened running high.

i. was. told was. it was illegal and i was thinking oh oh oh oh oh oh. oh that lee clashes erupted following that this is one of the israeli government to implement extra security measures to prevent terror attacks the hike in security at that mosque which includes metal detectors came after two border police officers were killed in an attack in east jerusalem the subsequent protests around the holy site of temple mount resulted in repeated confrontations with israeli police. temple mount. as it's known to muslims

as one of the most contested religious sites in the world for jews is believed to have been the site of two political temples and the al aksa mosque which is also located there islams third holiest site the temple mount as a ministered by jordan base islamic religious authority. well those metal detectors came as a result of a heinous murder on a holy spot these are not just metal detectors. one action out of money to change the order to be changed to school a heinous murder takes place then security measures are brought in and then israel is blamed for taking the security measures it's a reaction to the first event which was horrible terrorism well first of all our dog. if the public knows the people who commit the acts with israeli citizens by the way people have to accept the fact that israel is the sovereign that jerusalem is our capital city and that the temple mount is the heart of our heart you accept

those things and we can have a dialogue and conversation you saw on t.v. how the israeli army is that you think peaceful nonviolent people who are just praying there that i was myself in just two days ago by the israeli army when i was just all i did i wanted to pray in their target does this sort of are sort of out of bullets and injured us i think the best alternative would be for jihadists to calm down or to be defeated and for there to be equal access to the site for all religions including jews go put it with the palestinians remove the cause of all conflicts which israeli occupation and stop israeli aggression on palestinians this we we can achieve peace. the migrant crisis continue to weigh heavy on european countries this week it's a currently bears the brunt of refugees trying to reach the continent almost ninety four thousand have arrived by sea this year alone and that number's expected to

double by december. however approved up defend europe is trying to stem the flow the group was sailing a ship to the region in a bid to turn back a migrant boats coming from africa it's bankrolling the mission with more than one hundred twenty six thousand dollars raised through crowd funding. overwatch was listening for diligent costarred about the doing anything you want trusting the biggest emergency going to get the best west signal to the west to the people in distress and make sure that they didn't drop back to the libyan coast. the vessel will be based in this is still the import of a tiny and it will be patrolling the mediterranean off the coast of libya the

mission says it wants to expose humanitarian groups that it claims are working directly with people smugglers but the teddy as mayor has branded the defend europe initiative a profit cation artie's challenge one of the group's members and gauged reaction from local italians. we're at the port of in sicily among the ships that come into the sport you will every now and then see boats full of migrants but we are here to talk to an activist who is expecting the arrival of a very different kind of boat with a very controversial purpose. so somewhere around here will probably arrive by next week. what we cherish of course is a cultural identity are you a racist or an extremist organization your final purpose is what. we want to ensure that europe stays in europe this is what some people call racism

. i think the european union should feel ashamed now they want to use sicily as a rallying point for disgusting racism that does not belong to our culture i know that our welcoming culture is disliked by european fascists but we won't give up we are not going to be silent in the face of this call to violence against desperate human beings these peoples need to buy history books we're not trying to provoke a situation where anybody's life is at risk so you're not attacking them i know we're not attacking migrants we're not going to attack the n.g.o.s we would just try to document what they're doing and we want to make sure that these n.g.o.s are not working as some kind of proxy for the human traffickers what happens if you see that someone's life is in danger we will also come and rescue them and what are you going to do when a refugee going to end up on your boat we will try to bring them to africa again.

people of sicily have gotten used to migrants to the many n.g.o.s that have come here to help but an anti migrant angio patrolling the mediterranean that is something most people here have never heard of so let's ask the locals about the cause. so what do you think of the n.g.o.s that are working in the mediterranean to help the migrants the moon is this the bit of i don't like what they doing what if this is right twinging and geo both doesn't sound good this is the boat. the right wing activists will be on this boat they will be patrolling the mediterranean to make sure that there is no illegal migration and to make sure that the n.g.o.s don't break the laws what do you think about that good job like that it's good and the opinion of the migrants. they don't want migrants here i mean. if they don't one my guns i mean they have to be out to make a peace and stability in libya they say if they rescue migrants from the boats they

will take them back to africa that this is that is what come on how can someone who does live i mean up in the middle of militancy you know take the bus to africa that's not fair i mean some people call them racists do you agree with that there's no racist birth story there's already too many people here yet no jobs so there's no room for everyone do you think that's racist i don't think so and i'm not against helping migrants but we should help them in their own countries so here's a seeing that seems to have become typical for sicily we've got a park where we can see the migrants then and geo group to help them and also their locals who are still feeling the burden of the economic crisis and don't want migrants in their hometown and all of them are in one same part not too long before right wing activists join the club believe the trend toward tea could turn and

italy at the bottom corner of the screen you can see live pictures of the max international air show which wraps up today and after a short break we'll bring you more highlights from this year's event you can continue watching for now on our website and you tip.

i do think that archie is propaganda arm of the russian government and helps to spread. information that helps advance russia's interest and so that's why i think it's important for people like me to come on if it were me would be somebody who was less capable who would maybe not do is get a job presenting the american point of view. welcome back to the program new footage some of which you may find distressing has emerged from inside an iraqi prison near mosul apparently showing suspected members of myself being held in dire conditions. from human rights watch told us what she saw when she visited the site. i went into one cell four by six meters one hundred fourteen men that had been in there for four months and the windows had been bricked off the stench was was immense with men not being allowed to shower no

bathrooms besides one toilet in the room really horrific conditions. the video shows almost four hundred inmates who are said to have been held for months without trial they're packed into dark cramped rooms with no electricity or fans lation in baking hot conditions as temperatures outside reach forty five degrees celsius guards at the prison say people are falling ill due to a lack of hygiene and daylight. human rights watch visited these very same prisons in february and released a report where we documented in detail the horrific in inhumane conditions in which these men are being held there were rampant problems of the ill treatment and in fact there were multiple men that are dying in detention because of the sanitary and hygiene conditions in those facilities you know prisoner is whether or not

they're being charged with isis affiliation and how basic rights and you have to imagine i mean these images only give you a small snapshot. we've raised these allegations with the iraqi authorities we've raised these allegations with the coalition unfortunately i have not seen anything to suggest that they are urgently investigating nor post investigations actually holding any commanders accountable unfortunately this is an old story in iraq where for years we've been documenting the most serious abuses and the government may pronounce that they will investigate but to date we have not seen a single investigation leading to results and accountability. tensions between turkey and germany came to a head this week as the german foreign minister gabriel threatened to rethink economic ties to forces we have to rethink opposition towards turkey the situation

in turkey is not transparent we should call it for what it is we are waiting for ankara to return to european values this all comes following the arrest of activists including germany human rights consultant amnesty international's turkey director and four others they've been accused of or assisting an unnamed military terrorist group ankara says the comments by the german foreign minister were unacceptable we discussed the issue with a former turkish foreign minister. tension of course is going up unfortunately this statement made by the shows that germany is planning to bring. you are going to hold a little of course we get comment. from it because when there are. four june fifth this is not to move that the businessman will not pull through because the german news one of the countries that has huge. if.

you cannot move for if it. earlier tensions erupted over the air base after germany had to move its aircraft from there to jordan after its officials were repeatedly the night access to the site the head of the research center for turkey studies told us domestic politics in both countries are contributing to the tensions this is kind of been an ongoing dispute that has kind of flared up now and again especially in the times where there's been a lections in the two countries so i think like a lot of this plays out on lines of internal dynamics in both countries what's new here is that we're now talking about the germans now threatening to back up their criticisms of turkey which should be made by many of the european governments they're trying to back up now in the context of last year lies failed coup emotions are running very high and basically was hacked and it's made it very easy for the government to essentially associate any criticisms of the government with criticisms of turkish democracy. but the term ceasefire is used many of us would no doubt be thinking of conflict zones in the middle east but people in the u.s.

city of baltimore are just fifty kilometers from the capital are calling for a truce they are fed up by the skyrocketing level of gun violence in their city. of. baltimore is a war zone i this is a war torn city. most of us in baltimore have lost somebody. and we live with that every single day the stuff that we will never call the most people between the age of one the seven deadly have p.t.s.d. which is of course from the shootings from the teddy bears on the wall from people getting shot in broad daylight before your eyes walking over glass walking over bodies and things like. cease fire going to stand because

of i don't shoot my down that's one person. here are some live pictures from the final day of the next international airshow just outside of moscow today more than twenty five displays are being staged by a whole range of different aircrafts their show's been running all week and yesterday one hundred seventy three thousand people attended those not only a chance for them to see some spectacular playing tricks in the sky but also to get up close and personal with some of the very latest in aviation technology which is exactly what our task a partridge has been doing. to get here above me that is it makes thirty five and a fighter jets just to prove that we really are here and it's just behind me as well that makes thirty five because what we got to be talking about today is all seeing is military and to join me to talk about what makes that plane so unique is douglas barry he was an expert when it comes to military avionics thank you very

we've seen some amazing planes and because the flying the sky there it's amazing to be here to take this for instance this is trace and it can fly and they can also drive and they can spray. and other thing that i've seen here is a flying taxi just like those from back to the future. when we don't need. dialysis three d. experience of what it feels like to operate one of those cars so what is he now he says small or yellow because it is basically the house sort of problems that make the operating that the brands you've got this big car that looks a bit like the battle of the i spoke to one of the men behind this project and he says it's only a couple of years to go before we'll all be able to enjoy the ride oh in trying to

turn to if you go to dulles you just a pop up your mobile app and you will have an elevator button for the for the their taxes to pick you up and we're like the world's elite thank you very much indeed well there you go ladies and gentlemen we we always thought it was back to the future but the future perhaps is so far away these are twenty twenty. again these are live pictures on the spectacular max air show that's wrapping up just hours. in moscow today you can continue watching on our web site r c dot com and also on our you tube channel and if you want to get a feel of what it's like to be piloting one of these planes do check out our latest three hundred sixty degree video on you tube as well my colleague madeira tooter will be joining you in about half an hour's time thanks for staying with us.

in the u.s. a child can choose an army course in school. with retired officers as teachers we don't. recruit we'll sisters if the cadet is interested in going in the military but we don't recruit ourselves and see. the pentagon is funding a program to boost interest in the military among teenagers your chance to step up to an apollo so that melts away quite comfortable with yourself and things you are yourself you can't go wrong with the military it's a great stepping stone for whatever career you want to do but some veterans are willing to tell enthusiastic children a little more they ask me call of duty is a very popular first sure video game. it's played nastiest nocturne like call of duty to turn off call of duty oh yeah well you can't turn up more melodic these kids just don't hear. the darker side does the pentagon allow them to be told or does it just need more recruits. you can revolt against the dictator but what

about the day after i think. the libyan people did not give much thought about that and so the way the national the resolution does not build nations. and certainly does not build states.

a lot of welcome to worlds apart the russians have long taken americans more seriously than the americans took that is until the russia gave the american obsession with. policy paralysis have made many in moscow showing washington in a way revolution before as lacking in confidence and they able to pull itself together how accurate is this impression to discuss that i'm now joined by matthew craning a senior fellow at the atlantic council mr craning it's great to have you on the show thank you very much for joining us thank you for having me on it's a pleasure to be here while it may be a pleasure for you to be here but are you sure that you're not going to fall under suspicion of colluding with the adversary because of appearing on our t.v. no i'm not worried about that i think it's important for americans and russians to have a dialogue to important countries and we need to do a better job of understanding it.
