come to terms with donald trump's unpredictability and just a day after he announced that the historic summit in which he would meet with kim jong un in singapore was called off now he seems to be hinting that it may be back on the table so what changed his mind once again what appears to have been a statement made by north korea in which they said they were still open to meeting and sitting down with the united states at any time now seems particularly sensitive to these statements from north korea his previous decision to cancel the summit was also based on a statement from north korea this is donald trump sadly based on the tremendous anger and open hostility displayed in your most recent statement i feel it is inappropriate at this time to have this long planned meeting now north korea had jumped on mike pence the vice president of the united states and called him a political dummy and that was after he had invoked libya and the toppling of the libyan government in two thousand and eleven as

a possible outcome or strategy for the talks you know in addition to statements north korea has actually released three american prisoners and they've actually gone as far as to blow up their only nuclear test site however it seems that for donald trump words speak louder than actions some people are looking on this and saying that maybe something deeper is going on beneath the surface here perhaps this is what you might call a psychological tactic of attrition donald trump did after all right the art of the deal and it seems like he might be playing a hardball in the lead up to a potential meeting or no potential meeting with north korea a lot of unpredictability on the part of the president of united states people wonder what the ultimate outcome will be but it seems like only donald trump really knows what's going to happen next who know who i suspect least of all don't we know what he thought i mean this is somebody who jumped into the main thing first of all quick of an affair it's a drawing there is no. behind this is somebody who is into making headlines and

appeasing the base and yesterday the news did not go down well with his base supporters that he had pulled out of this meeting he had always seen it as a chance to make peace on the korean peninsula which would be world breaking history and i think you saw yesterday who saw all of that dissolving what we're seeing is a huge naivety in the current american administration when it comes to foreign policy making the north koreans they would want these talks they want to hold their cards close they definitely want to sit down at the table but they want to see what the americans beyond donald trump have to offer whether the sanctions can be lifted whether it brings them closer to the global community well meantime the first pictures showing the destruction of north korea's only nuclear test site have been released our correspondent he goes down offers among the small pool of journalists invited to witness that facility being decommissioned this is what he sent back.

5:18 pm
and the netherlands directly accused russia of involvement despite the fact the investigation is still ongoing russia's foreign minister earlier discussed that with his dutch counterpart saying there's no evidence to pin the blame on moscow. i spoke to the dutch foreign minister he said that they have almost no doubts that the book came from russia i asked what evidence prove that but he didn't give me any facts he told me they don't want russia to help the investigation which he explained with some baseless suspicions if we look to that statement from the netherlands and australia that what they've said is that they hold russia legally responsible for the deaths of the two hundred ninety eight people who were on board malaysian airlines flight m h seventeen on its way from amsterdam to kuala lumpur when it was shot down when it went down over eastern ukraine an area that was. an area of particularly fierce fighting at the time in the conflict that was is ongoing there this was back in july of twenty fourteen australia in the netherlands
5:19 pm
have made that decision just stars the joint investigation team have released their latest findings so the j.i.t. they put forward the latest information they had on thursday in the netherlands and in that report they did say this they had no clear well perpetrator or clear reason why the aircraft was targeted in the first place just a little the questions everyone wants answered from day one are why was flight m h seventeen should down and who was responsible for this appalling act i can give you the answers to these specific questions to date well from the russian side the ministry of defense issued a lengthy rebuttal to the findings that. sent out on thursday the russian ministry of defense saying that it couldn't have been a russian missile because the missile casing that they show was part of the is that one of the main parts of evidence from the joint investigation team that's
5:20 pm
a type of missile the it was made in the moscow region back in one thousand nine hundred six and hasn't been in russia's military arsenal since twenty eleven these things have a fifteen year shelf life that can be ex. tended by an extra ten years to the maximum but anything built in eighty six in russia's arsenal would have been destroyed back in twenty eleven they did go on to say that ukraine did have these things in their arsenal the russian ministry of defense also critical of the joint investigative teams findings the fact that a lot of it seem to be based on pictures from social media we want to draw to everyone's attention that the dutch investigators have ignored witness accounts many eyewitnesses saw the tragedy themselves they are not images from social media they are real people who gave their testimonies on record to the european and american media the head of the joint investigation team said that his investigation was entering its final stages however the more information we get from the charity
5:21 pm
the more questions seem to be thrown up. investigators concluded the aircraft was hit by a missile from a russian made. the manufacturer's own tests showed the missile type used was decommissioned by the russian military years ago. russian investigators claim the missile was fired from a ukrainian held area moscow sent radar data to the netherlands dutch investigators say that information was in a format they couldn't analyze. the joint investigation team includes the netherlands belgium australia malaysia and ukraine. the body cooperates with other states but russia's only been allowed limited involvement. was quick to blame russia for the tragedy however the final
5:22 pm
report does not directly blame russia for the crash. investigators concluded the book was driven in from russia and returned across the border after the. that was based on intercepted telephone conversations witness statements photographs and videos posted on social media but the accuracy of such evidence remains questionable. several mainstream media outlets and prominent politicians also didn't hesitate to pin the blame on russia even before the investigation reached any conclusions many reports used questionable evidence from amateur investigators like belling cat who used social networks and open internet sources to try and decipher what happened.
5:23 pm
next like the b.b.c. is being accused of breaching its own guidelines and wholly inaccurate reporting greater manchester police in northwest england sloan britain's national broadcaster after their documentary about the motorist rina terror attack the programme was shown last tuesday on the first anniversary of the bombing there's a missed suicide bomber detonated explosives as people were leaving the arena after a concert by the american pop star ariana grande a twenty two died one hundred thirty nine were injured it was the deadliest terror attack in britain since two thousand and five the dearer to the court. the b.b.c. documentary about the devastating terror attack on the manchester arena has been praised by showing the courageousness of the survivors but the broadcasters inside has left the u.k. police furious greater manchester police chief has issued an open letter condemning what he calls wholly inaccurate reporting and the strongly worded statement has even accused the b.b.c.
5:24 pm
of breaching its guidelines the program released by inference wrongly suggested that g.n.p. officers and staff were hold back on the night if you look this is untrue and is no more until attack when she and the police officers who is the actual footage showed bravely in response to this horrific. fact the police did not specify exactly which fragments of the b.b.c. film they believe misrepresented their response on the night of the tragedy however the documentary does contain a lot of interviews with victims who were left frustrated by the police in action here very. very large force of policeman comment but not really any of them will help and they were there to. just secure the premises. police officers with guns pointed towards me had said was that the council to try and save lives was literally going on when. i could see was in their decision of course airing criticism isn't an issue as long as manchester police can give their side of the
5:25 pm
story the catch is they can't do that during an active investigation the b.b.c. production team were made aware of this but when my interest authorities saw how the film showed their lack of comments they were far from happy the reference at the end of the programme the g.m.p. refused to cooperate is wholly misleading and was focused only on creating journalistic drama the b.b.c. insists that they did report on the situation on manchester police accurately and say that the caption on the screen only said greater manchester police declined to take part in this film which they say is factually accurate the b.b.c. actually say that it is the chief constables letter that is accurate defending their decision to include those criticisms claiming that they fully adhere to the b.b.c. editorial guidelines this was a responsible accurate and thoughtful documentary which was an important piece of public service broadcasting however as this very public disagreement unfolds
5:26 pm
according to one former police officer there's good reason for g.m. piece response that this is perhaps it may seem harsh but the priority for the poor. the police used to try to coax the perpetrators anybody associated with them and i think the reason that the police disengaged from friendly conversation in the formation of this film was that they sensed that it was going to be prejudicial to the general good it's very easy to criticize with the wisdom of hindsight but they are actually doing it for the purposes of the public good and to try to keep our sorry for people that are doing dangerous horrible when we could things with the battle over whose rights and his role likely to continue it's certain that the route between britain's main broadcaster and law enforcement was not the effect a documentary remembering a tragic event intended to have. r.t.
5:27 pm
. some liverpool football supporters in clear for a start of the champions league final have received a rather less than warm welcome ukrainian police grab and handcuffed bloodied found on thursday had been attacked by a mask to lagoons in the capital with more reporting now. what we're seeing is a of course thousands of little four founds who've made their way to kiev in order to watch that champions league final and a number of them were enjoying dinner leaving last night when they were set upon and actually we can see from some of the tweets of a journalist who was there at the site who describes those attackers as being masked men maybe about twenty of them wearing balaclavas and setting upon these liverpool fans who were just having dinner in a restaurant like a pack of dogs the journalist said that the attack was completely unprovoked those funds just minding their own business ahead of that big game tomorrow evening
5:28 pm
saying that one of the victims was a fifty year old man who suffered cuts and bruises saying that all of the phones were in the vicinity of the liverpool fans that is had to run away and we can also hear from some of the eyewitnesses themselves it was terrifying i didn't come here for this i came to watch the football. we were just having dinner they just stormed the place they were throwing glasses and tables it was terrifying we did nothing wrong now during the course of the run of the little fourteen to that final this isn't the first time liverpool fans have been attacked one man was left in a critical condition in hospital when italian fans from roma salted and beat up a number of liverpool fans in liverpool itself when the liverpool fans then went for the return game in rome that was heavy security now this incident hasn't stopped at least one media outlet for blaming russia even though pictures a merge showing the attackers two of the attackers arrested the rest of them fled
5:29 pm
being hugh craney and t. shirts belonging to a key football team the paper that's a paper in spain associated to the city of madrid they said it was. of suspected russian origin and many people on twitter quick to correct them in saying that these are well known what will firm belonging to a ukrainian team and so it seems that with the world cup coming up the ante russia campaign or trying to lay the blame where possible on russia just wants to continue but if and i think sorting out international i'm kevin owen but with more in just thirty minutes from now. funny enough before the time you get to find them really will be shown on it's own but me let america know. what.
5:30 pm
you know to mean really coming from earth con i got up on the field on october. fourth and put it on i don't doubt it's going to. be it. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race move his arms off and spearing dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.
