every other american president before me failed i succeeded. the g. seven summit sees a major rift open between the u.s. and the rest of the pact with donald trump attracting his support for the joint statement the meeting and. growing tensions with washington. those space. be. good. to. you it may be the american president doesn't mind being isolated today but we don't mind being six if need be. and in the stories that shaped the week the pentagon admits the civilian death toll in syria may never be known after being accused of possible war crimes their. first of all gets underway in moscow with four days left until football's biggest event kicks off in russia.

are broadcasting live. recapping the week's top stories with our weekly program to our team international. now the u.s. president touched down in singapore for the historic summit between the u.s. and north korea air force one is has arrived at singapore's pilot base on monday will meet the north korean leader on june twelfth the meeting will be the first ever face to face contact between a sitting u.s. president and a leader of north korea mr kim is also in singapore gearing up for the highly anticipated summit he arrived a few hours earlier on an air china plane. for the place where. has been kept a closely guarded secret but reporters spotted guards. cording

a north korean flag limousine arriving at the st regis hotel. have been seen entering and leaving the hotel for a meeting with singapore prime minister. and poor after leaving the g. seven summit in canada early the meeting was marked by huge gaps between the u.s. and other members as tensions flared over critical international issues. i would rather see russia in. the g. eight as opposed to the i would say that the g eight is a more meaningful group than the g seven. here we all agree. is absolutely clear that.

if there is be any conversations about russia's future in relation to this particular group they have to. change the route of the taking. shortly after leaving the g seven trump tweeted the u.s. was abandoning its endorsement of the summit's joint communiqué he accused the canadian prime minister of making false statements over u.s. terrorists creating another sticking point between the states justin trudeau described the reasoning behind the terrorists as frankly insulting in response trump went on to describe as dishonest and weak the some of though was riddled with

divisions from the outset it may be the american president doesn't mind being isolated today but we also don't mind being six if need be the rules based international over the. be the size labor market. to the us the g seven june summit seems already destined for dysfunction with a heap of complaints from the us as european allies some are suggesting a name change to keep up with the times we should have been united stewing but to save them to the group who challenges of the world and instead of that we would be divided between not to be a g seven it would be a g six plus one it's not too hard to see where the fallout between washington and the rest of the pack is coming from in just two years donald trump has caused serious problems for a major international agreements first by announcing he was ditching the paris

climate accord then the iran nuclear agreement the breakthrough deal which took years to negotiate and now he's unleashed a trade war with the e.u. by slapping tariffs on their steel and aluminum. the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal the united states will withdraw from the paris climate of court the united states has been taken advantage of by other countries both friendly and not so friendly for many many decades i'm here to protect and one of the reasons i was elected as i'm protecting our workers i'm protecting our companies even the angle of merkel who is known for maintaining her cool during the worst diplomatic spats has had some strong words to share about the u.s. as recent exits this cloud just father it is clear that especially with the exit of

the u.s. from the climbing deal there is dissent within the g seven just as much as with the announcement of tariffs on the mean human steel which we believe are illegal and also the issue of the iranian nuclear deal which the u.s. has withdrawn from. there may be disagreements i regard this as. much like a family quarrel we will do what is necessary to protect the united states its businesses and its workforce don't blame trump blame the nations that have broken away from those conditions blame the other countries now that's what you want to hear right before a g. seven summit the post motivation trip between you will be leaders and so u.s. president is bed. no ideas because also jobs as subjects we are talking about that these new agents would be better off if we have . not only targeted was to tell those we have

a target on almost every subject and things to lift between the bus routes and washington so you'll be in your mean and united states who become bigger and bigger . this week mark two years since the official launch of the operation to liberate the syrian city of raka from islamic state terrorists they had made it the capital of their self-proclaimed caliphate and to coincide with the anniversary amnesty international released a new report on the situation in the devastated city it accused the u.s. led coalition of relentless air and artillery strikes and even said it may have committed war crimes according to the coalition itself the real number of civilians killed in the battle for rocco will never be known. as far as how do we know how many civilians were killed i'm just being honest no one will ever know anyone who claims they all know is lying.

by getting to the bottom of what was really happening in iraq as the americans and allies were freeing it who will be bothered to do that or it will take ages the prose of war behind these walls may have thought but scrutiny was inevitable coalition claims that it's precision and campaigns allowed it to bomb islamic state house of raca well causing very few civilian casualties do not stand up to scrutiny based on information from amnesty international is filled investigation and public reporting coalition or an artillery strikes killed hundreds of civilians and injured many more open amnesty's report and you'll find words like this proportionate indiscriminate bombing the use of white phosphorus claims which could turn into a reputational disaster if proven things that amount to war crimes the u.s.

led coalition mission to free rocka went on for more than four months from june sixth to a cobra twelfth last year and the pentagon proudly told the world they'd fired thirty five thousand artillery rounds while they were at it they fired more rounds and rockets syria than any other marine artillery battalion or any marine or army battalion since the vietnam war yet we kept hearing from those whose orders matter how cautious they war there's been no military in the world's history that is paid more attention to the limited. view of ministers from the battlefield and coalition military we're not perfect guys we can make a mistake. and in this kind of warfare or happen we are the good guys and munitions people on a battlefield know the difference you can't help wondering how many innocent locals

general mattis has actually met i'm sure you can find many of those who are genuinely grateful to the coalition for kicking myself out but just compare his words to some of the witness accounts our team heard while in iraq there was that in effect in washington when we were directly targeted by the coalition after the recognizance craft filmed us it was a low altitude it was very clear there were no terrorists in the area but there were kids playing in the streets and we were collecting water and i knew that i thought i knew that if the aircraft bomb using phosphorus targets everyone it is not hidden i still the coalition is boman randomly if you're sitting at home a bomb may come down and you know there are houses that collapsed on those residents and they could not get out all this happened because of the aircraft if you took the whole plane comes in strikes for instance a five story building i so would be on the second floor while civilians on the third and fourth floors how comes the plane still strikes then more civilians died then i still terrorists and we weren't alone in the hearing those worrying calls

from that devastated syrian city humanitarian groups on the high alert had to many more whores to share with us and the rest of the world there are worries about how this operation will affect civilians we're concerned about the safety and protection of more than four hundred thousand people in iraq as these operations commence to strike we've investigated one of the open air strikes to. be used. when not appear in coalition authority so you actually believe that the actual number really important because i wonder if you thought any of that led to a change of tactics by the coalition or at least an apology i have to tell you they sealed it themselves from scrutiny with. monthly casualty reports we've been largely focusing on the fate of rock of civilians in our coverage and to amnesty international's now weighed in with some serious work it could be high time we hear

something new from the us croes of war we asked a number of humanitarian organizations to comment on this the international committee for the red cross said it repeatedly expressed concern for the safety of raka civilians during the city's liberation while the un agency for children said it had no information on the matter middle east expert joshua landis told us that more could have been done to save civilian lives i don't doubt that the united states has used efforts great efforts not to kill people but in the end they were not true they were in a hurry the un asked them multiple times to give a break so that civilians could get out they didn't want to negotiate with i asked they said we're going to kill them on the battlefield they didn't want them as prisoners in another guantanamo since the gulf war nine hundred ninety the first gulf war the united states constantly insists that it didn't count the enemy it didn't know how many were killed and it wasn't going to try to find out later on

there were some investigations but by and large that has been the protocols of the u.s. which is not to count the enemy and to and to try to keep it secret really. the f.b.i. has seized the e-mails and phone records of a new york times reporter as it moves to plug the ongoing leaks of classified information the issue has come to a head under the trumpet ministration because artie's mickey aaron explains it dates back long before then. trump's white house has a serious problem it's leaking a shocking secret memo leaked to the new york times white house's most prolific leakers all the weeks we get out of the way else why this white house leaks and all the reasons this hit there's always so much fun in this white house is so leaky there is even leaks about why they're leaking and so in an effort to deal with the issue it's just funny to move on from its fatigue to war of words with the media and show a bit of muscle i strongly prefer the press. or the press but

i'm also we were. very. well chums verbal disputes with the press have become commonplace his latest step can be seen as a watershed moment that is crossing the line into spying on journalists now at the center of this is new york times reporter ali watkins whose phone and e-mail records were secretly seized amid a justice department investigation into this guy james a wolf a former high ranking aide at the senate intelligence committee who's suspected of leaking classified information to reporters and he also happens to be the former boyfriend of what kids during their three year romance that what kids they excelled in her career even being shortlisted for a pulitzer her skills in gauging tipoffs from elusive unnamed sources were praised by her university breaking national story was the direct result of tips she

received through unnamed sources with whom she's developed trusting relationships she denies ever using her former lover as a source however now some of her old tweets are coming back to haunt her i wanted to be zoe barnes until episode four sleeping with your source especially in the decks of congressman gary gray area ethically he could be which i'm ok with forms of the washington herald calling a source close to the president exactly sure how many. actually i want to go over i'm sorry mr president but i will not. get into. well. so on a scale of one to ethical how does everyone feel about pulling a real zoe barnes for story ideas for media rights groups however what we're saying hey is trump's latest push to demonize journalists a move which represents a true declaration of war on the press we believe that the government seizure of.

data sets a dangerous precedent we fear it could be an opening salvo in an ongoing battle over reporters' ability to protect missiles but such intimidation tactics on reporters are actually nothing new investigations into journalists on their sources were heavily ramped up under trump's previous s.-a in fact under president obama the justice department prosecuted more leak cases than all previous administrations combined so perhaps it's time for a rethink on using this. journalist shine a light on many issues around the world keeping citizens informed prompting robust debate discussed discussion we certainly face that here and holding governments accountable we honor the many journalists and media professionals who have dedicated their lives to the profession we see all too often that journalists continue to take great risks to pursue this important work. legendary coach and our

team co-host hosts a merkin you know her dick's the world cup results exclusively for us so that is just ahead after a short break you are watching the week we are to international. good food bring people together and i'm sure that this vocal be of that exceptional good will go on the field of play with those who for the food for the feet of the mitchell for a show to show that able to organize evoke up. a legacy call guys are the winners the legacy oil guys are the winners the legacy all central bankers all the winners innovation you dynamism the constitution the bill of rights these are the losers in this america. what politicians do. we put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected.

so when you want to be president and. want to be rich. to go on to be press this is what before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters about how. things should. back as the week we're on our team international now there are just three days to go before the free for world cup kicks off in a russia and the teams have already started to arrive here you can see the football team from brazil who's plane has landed in sochi having won the world cup five times brazil is the most successful team in the history of feet from their first match will be against switzerland on june seventeenth meanwhile the world cup fan festival is already in full swing in moscow artie's oleksiak cesky has been mixing

in with crowds. it was very quiet here seven and a half years ago when i stood on the very same sport and reported that russia got the right to host the twenty eighteen world cup no one believed it back then but it's absolutely believe it will now as you can see the contrast that's the place to go for every fan who doesn't have a ticket to a match that's where the games will be broadcasted on the huge screen above the stage you can see over that and from that stage the official fan fast was kickstarted by the world cup when the legendary frenchman moss a deceiver alongside him was i saw that goes across the top score of a national team must actually walk on the stage like a boss carrying the world cup trophy in his hand and if you feel good the world cup trophy can only be handled by those who would have won the cup but the most coveted prize in world football so after that opening ceremony i managed to catch up with must say desiree as our viewers well know peter schmeichel the great dane is

working with ozzy as part of our g.t. and ma say france will be playing denmark in moscow so i asked him about that since we work in which michael represents downmarket you are representing france. the match is happening in this city what do you expect of it do you think is going to be the hottest game of france in the group stage it truly truly is olden time being difficult you know to play the game set down among. you know they have tough play is a very decent mean and talented but i still think that from time individually and collectively i bet their side i'm sure let's see let's see you know it's good bo anything can happen but i do believe that if from doesn't weenies because they have not been out of their level just a couple of days ago if a president john infants you know said that russia was one hundred percent ready for the world cup and obviously fan fest is part of that beer music football what else would a fan want especially if you are she doesn't have a match ticket every eleven host city will have

a found zone a fan fest don't like that and we will be certainly all over that with our team covering the world cup over the next month. well thirty two nations will battle it out to lift the famous cup you just saw on the stage at the fan festival the coveted trophy is made of eighteen karat gold and a cup has been passed from winner to winner for years now ahead of the event it went on a grand tour all across russia and even made a stop off at their two studio. the winning team will lift this exact trophy above their heads and this is the one that they keep only for a short while. for the ultimate possession they get a so called the so called winners trophy which it looks like exactly this one but

only made of fibro mess and it's a gold plated bronze. indeed this is the one in on li made of eighteen karat solid gold the official fee for world cup trophy and only heads of state and people will come winners can touch this magnificent fold the price. trophic traveled from kaliningrad to vladivostok literally a massive geography we estimated that around forty million people lives in the nearest proximity to the cities where the traffic visited. our world cup coverage will be delivered by some of the game's biggest names including manchester united manager jose marino who has already made his first predictions.

so mr marino let's go through the group step by step whenever you're ready. i'm not ready because it's very difficult i don't want to be emotional but i have to be available to contradictions because i want my players to win but i also want my place to go on holiday so this is going to be tough but i would say to why his way into the wind or go. they have experienced their players they have the right mentality and i think russia has to finish second and. then the crucial match the russian against egypt and it's fine to beat me out of the testing pressure to finish second in the group well. they need to win the group b. . and i will show relate to that i am totally portuguese because i want to finish

second in the world maybe down the home team russia is going to play against their domestic spain see a scene from this will draw a little finish first. the fight to finish second. before the surprise come on australia let's finish cycles. and in group the last thing the little fellow will finish first. this one is going to be hard the play will for an african team. so will be brazil in the name of change to go on holiday so switzerland who finished second i'm sort in the money and what you need to hold. and in the group germany has to win. i think mexico is finished seconds. go. well gee. and i think the belgian who finished second it's. funny league group.

runs for the balance and the goal to win the group. calling for the second. half so much expertise from jews and maybe you don't miss it. well if you feel you are up to testing your football knowledge against the might of marine one head online to facebook or twitter and follow the hash tag match moreno you can follow all the latest world cup news and events right here on. a petition to save a pregnant cow from being killed has garnered almost twenty eight thousand signatures the animal accidentally crossed the border from bulgaria to serbia and back again prompting authorities to order her to be put down as a precaution however there could be
