manufacture consent to stick to the public will. when the ruling closest to protect themselves. with the flaming. lips and neither will. nor middle of the room. for the. brags that it was all about the british my to bring back five hundred factories are going to export our way back into a g.d.p. rocket ship and take on the world cool britannia go brittania well turns out they're all going to be picking fruit out there in kemah berry shyer.

welcome back u.s. president donald trump says he does not rule out recognizing crimea as russian the province rejoin russia in two thousand and fourteen but is still considered by western countries to be a part of ukraine artists america has more. on board air force one on friday trump spoke to reporters about his upcoming meeting with putin when a reporter asked him if he'd recognize crimea as part of russia he said quote we're going to have to see but then he blamed obama for the entire crimea debacle saying that it was a shame that obama gave up crimea now to remind the viewers of what happened in crimea back in twenty fourteen a referendum was held with international observers present and ninety seven percent of the population voted to secede from ukraine and join russia the west refuse to

recognize this plebiscite and then impose sanctions on russia and then separate ones on crimea but just this week we also heard from another u.s. official john bolton who said that trump wouldn't recognize crimea as part of russia so conflicting views coming from the trump administration which seems like basic protocol at this point but these statements come a few weeks before trump's summit with putin that's scheduled for july sixteenth in helsinki finland but this isn't the first time that trump has discussed relations with russia during the g. seven summit trump said that russia should be reinstated let's check out what he said 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 absolutely trump also said that he'd be discussing a range of other issues with president putin including alleged election interference

syria ukraine relations with china and russia to possibly deescalate the conflicts going on in the world but until july sixteenth we will know exactly what happened so we'll just have to wait until then but it's not just crimea causing friction between russia and the west for example sanctions in the script or thing have also soured ties russia's foreign minister touched on those issues in an interview with britain's channel four news. can. you give any assurances that the upcoming midterm elections if you know it's time will not be meddled with by the press or some facts because we kill intelligence to discover something which is based on highly unlikely. might be. the best a geisha in the united states has been going for problem to europe because no. regard to the internet research the russian troll factory there is going to be

indicted is something which requires a trail and then just. submitted their old case and the chips just quite a number of things which were used for the day so let's not jump the gun. it was loose carol but i don't think that the logic of the who said sentence forced verdict later i don't think this logic is going to prevail this whole russia election meddling hysteria according to sergei lavrov is a prime example of a new and trendy mentality kind of act still stand figure out later with the investigation into the russian interference in the us presidential elections still ongoing and in his opinion in circular opinion this approach prevails on the global geo political scene right now and they've even led to this quite peculiar exchange between him and the journalist. there are many in the west who say that the

chaos whether it spreads it whether it's cause whether it's from the white house or but that alone but i want to get over it before leaving the cycle here it's a difficult for stepping away actions in sweden that the president is also into that later but the chaos are good ones and also me this does the chaos benefit russia as some in the west said. you have to be within the. historical free. for the logical for. you because goodness it's russian government weeks before the presidential elections and the months before the world cup what do you see from alleged chemical attacks in syria two big u.s. elections i mean geographically wise sic users have found russia's fingerprints well pretty much all over the world standing out of those cases they always the case of this crippled poisoning back in march if you don't remember. a former

double agent for the u.k. and his daughter were found poisoned apparently by a very powerful nerve agent in the u.k. city of the sales berry and the u.k. is adamant russia did it. the british state of a coverup of this whole incident i don't exclude this one as long as they don't give us information you know that about the russians it is citizens who have died in london during the posters all altered cases have been investigated in the secret form we don't understand. the united kingdom because of the political will from what is going on it's an interesting situation whereby a country which is leaving the european union has determined the european union pulled a sort of rush when they were ready for all you know look at also of the european union say you must expose the russians that lamont's you must expel them so they

did most of them some do now again official london has been maintaining that it was only moscow we had both motive and means to carry out a poisoning like this one when it comes to a more generic story line of the interview sergey lavrov also has stressed that in his opinion we are already living in what he calls a post to west to work and as for russia's role in this post west world he says that more school plans to play a role on equal parts an equal role with other players in this whole thing so when it comes to some predictions for the future for some forecasting there you have it . that's a wrap up of today's top stories and your world cup updates for this hour and thanks for tuning in.

for. a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time but there was one more question and by the way he's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star among us and the huge amount of pressure you have to go to the center of the beach but how would you and do the great british get you out of the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get the ball going let's go.

alone. and i'm really happy to join for the thousand in the in the world cup in russia meet the special one come on top of. me to just take the radio p.r.t. team's latest edition to make up a bigger better jersey look. i'm afshin rattansi and we're going on. ground on british armed forces day and in this special edition we're joined by pulitzer prize winning journalist hirsch who exposed nato nation war crimes of the military industrial complex from abu ghraib prison in the anglo-american war in iraq to the mean massacre site hersh has

exerted a damning skepticism of the official line did the syrian government really use chemical weapons what was the truth behind the asama bin laden assassination what connects nato nations to isis die action al qaeda and should we believe to resume about the poisoning of the script files in england his new book reporter a memoir is out now thanks so much for going back and going underground why you rather than dick cheney there you were writing a book on dick cheney. and the source this year i mean what happened is. obama in the balmy years there was he tightened very much on leaks and dissent in particular in the intelligence community put cia guy in jail there were people in the white house somebody was jailed also privately without public disclosure there was a sense that obama really didn't like leaks and so i had done a book on cheney i've written a lot about cheney for the new yorker during you know after nine eleven and there was a story a book to write and when i began giving chapters to people involved they said the

appropriate you know it's just going to be published because they would get in trouble their professional intelligence people and military people the ones i deal with they take an oath of office to the to the constitution and not to any particular president so i just had to i just couldn't publish the book and put him in jeopardy it would put them in jeopardy would would make it almost impossible for me that the check about me is that. i don't give up people i mean people they don't go after my people they don't know who they are i put nothing in a computer i write all my interviews in longhand and so i just felt if i if i publish stuff over their opposition and they got prosecuted i would not sleep at night and be also not be able to do the kind of reporting i'm still doing if anyone reading this memoir about so much military action of one kind or another they shouldn't be ignorant of the fact that i think you said recently that we're in war with the united states is

a war in seventy six countries now little and the wars you clinical in this what i said was that there's seventy six places in the in the world where the americans are involved with kinetically with weapons and it based it was based on actually a public study done by an institute at brown university called the watson institute and i knowing some of the people involved in the study there was a lot of stuff that we have a big special forces community that are active particular in africa and a lot of places i think the public knows very little about it i don't think this are my president is been briefed on any. but i don't think he would he's not interested in oh you doesn't know about it i know there's concern about some people in the military and high up in the military in my government in washington what are these guys doing who's in control there's a lack of control.
