welcome back u.s. president donald trump has said he does not rule out recognizing crimea as russian the province rejoined russia in twenty fourteen but is internationally still considered part of ukraine r.t. samir khan 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 recognized 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 won't know exactly what happened so we'll just have to wait until then. and it's not just crimea that's causing friction between russia and the west sanctions and the script poisoning have also soured ties russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov touched on these issues in an interview with britain's channel four news. hasn't he to give any assurances that the upcoming midterm elections if he wants time will not be meddled with my version of the press or something because we can look intelligent to discuss something which is based on highly unlikely might be. the best a geisha in the united states has been going for her on the euro because no we'll probably regard to the internet research the russian troll factory now that there isn't any judgement in that is something which requires

a trial and then they submitted their old case and they chipped quite a number of things which were used for the day so let's not jump the gun. was loose carol but i don't think that the logic of the who said sentence forced the tick 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 for us to accuse stand figure out later with the investigation into the russian interference in the us presidential elections still ongoing and in his opinion insert your lab robes 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 put a lot if not all of it before believe inside the uterus and you feel good for stepping away actions and surrender that the brotherhood is also into that later but the chaos are good want to. see this does the chaos benefit russia as some in the west said. you have to be within the. historical free. for the logical for. human because goodness it's russian government weeks before the presidential elections and the months before the world cup what it will do you say from alleged chemical attacks in syria to 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 the scrip old 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. even the british state of the coverup of this whole incident i don't it still does and as long as they don't give us information you know that about the russian citizen citizens who have died in london during the past two years all that is altered cases have been investigated in this secret form we don't understand. the united kingdom but the political from what is going on it's an interesting situation whereby the country which is leading the european union. has determined the european union for this sort of rush when they were ready for all you know look at all some of the europeans you know say you must expose the russians at lamont's you must expel them so they did most of them something now again official london has been maintaining that it was only more

school 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 also has stressed that in his opinion we are already living in what he calls a post west to world 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 . and we have an equalizing goal in such a it's year ago i want portugal one pet payoff to fifty five minutes rising as they say like a salmon to head home after a corner coming in there so it's one won the first goal but the iroquois defense has conceded at this world championships and has made it considerably tasty that danny is such a to see who will play france in the nation enough to rot in next friday exciting

stuff. or meanwhile human rights activists voiced concern over the creation of migrant processing camps a move decided by e.u. leaders on friday activists fear such facilities could effectively become detention centers and lead to human rights violations while europe's leaders are touching the new deal as a breakthrough in dealing with the migrant crisis as artie's paula slater reports that story manus this is a long term solution. having emerged after the nearly ten hour marathon summit e.u. leaders have been patting themselves on the back quite a lot for me this is a satisfying outcome it sends out a good message that we have a bunch really prepare the joint that i'm optimistic that becomes quite right for them but i believe that the preparatory work of presidents and the federal chancellor merkel has now brought a real breakthrough. a more responsible and more supportive fuel is emerging from

this you. know it was not left alone here. but in reality the deal getting all this praise is a carefully but vaguely worded one just like so many of the human struck by the blocking in the past but this one manages to satisfy a diverse range of views so just exactly how was it reached one challenge was to satisfy it to be on thursday blocked all joint decisions prior to the summit in an effort to appease tensions the member states decided to stay and rescued migrants on a new territory to so-called control centers across the bloc but and this was only to appease central european countries like the czech republic and hungary those locations are still to be decided and can only happen in countries who volunteer to have them not surprising their not many volunteers many leaders again pushed for responsibility to fall on first arrival countries who already have enough migrants same to as. under the dublin regulation that refugees have to apply in the first

european country where they are right we are sticking to this rule and the vollies that those countries are responsible for migration centers france is not the country's first arrival so almost open in some senses is no use in trade goes north we are not the first arrival country unless people jump with their swords in an apparent lifeline for the german chancellor angela merkel this non-binding agreement says that all governments must take measures. to stop migrants and refugees from crossing europe's internal borders now this is something that local desperately needs as she's facing a two week ultimatum from her coalition partner who is threatening to impose a new border regime against her world and list merkel finds an all europe solution . if european solution cannot be achieved we need to act on our own we agree on your ject whatever approaches are different in the next fourteen days you see you

can find common ground. here's another key point of the so-called breakthrough deal european leaders have also better plans to tighten the blocks borders and provide more money to countries like turkey and morocco to prevent migrants from coming to europe processing centers are also being set up in countries like egypt libya niger algeria and others but these are the kind of things that have been happening since two thousand and fifteen and they haven't managed to solve the migrant crisis so perhaps these new or not so new measures are less about helping the migrants and more about saving the hits of some european leaders policy r.t. . now deep divisions along party lines and fears over immigration are increasingly raising talk about a second civil war in the u.s. that's according to the findings of a new opinion poll artie's kellam open picks up the story. pretty hard to believe sounds almost like click or internet sensationalism but it turns out that

a number of americans actually do believe that civil war is a possibility furthermore the same poll indicated that roughly sixty percent of americans believe that backlash to donna from policies could turn violent the debate surrounding trump's immigration policies and the media fuming over it the gun control debate and the white house and the intelligence community not getting along that has been quite explosive it times a member of the u.s. congress recently raised eyebrows when he compared the current atmosphere to the lead up to the u.s. civil war the way he put it the usa could be headed toward fort sumpter that was the symbolic attack by slave states the session as it launched the war back in eight hundred sixty one there's even now talk of twenty four seventh's security for members of the trumpet ministration congresswoman maxine waters makes no bones about the fact that she's ready to take the fight against donald trump waybe on capitol hill and the voting booth in the diety. to get.

into the stone. age you. are you and you are you ok maxine waters herself has now been flooded with a number of threats and actually canceled several speaking events so let's see how people on the streets of new york feel about the rising polarization of american society what percent do you think said it was possible in the next five years. i would have to guess is that i let me let me go fifty eight percent sixty six six think it was possible when i started or forty maybe thirty percent you're very close thirty one percent what do you think they're getting at why would they think that you know that that the such a possibility thirty one percent saying there could be a civil war maybe you because of the gun control maybe because of the. i mean the racial we're having

a lot of problems right now with the president with foreign policy with the immigrant children and just too much going on all at the same time and a lot of people are scared and a lot of people are anxious to lot of dissension among americans and a lot of fear. and that creates. that kind of possibility and after donald trump won the highly divisive twenty sixteen presidential election he called for unity of the american people but now opposition to the president has become so uncivil that it's actually stoking fears of a new civil war. r.t. new york. and it's all go again in starchy pepe had equalised the portugal against uruguay but with sixty two minutes gone it's that man again edinson cavani with a beautiful curling shot from the corner of the box on a break i need to make it to once you know why he second goal in this particular

game and as it stands it's europe why going through to the quarterfinals to face bronze on friday may not go on but still looking at the clock there still twenty five minutes passed off each time to play it down in sochi. two palestinians have been killed in protest at the israeli gaza border on friday according to palestinian officials a teenager is said to be one of the dead patient rallies have been going on since late. you have. to respect. your injury after injury and as you see sense the beginning of the beginning of the protests today the fourteenth week of the great march of return at least twenty palestinians have been injured by live ammunition and tear gas canisters that israeli forces continue to use the lethal force against the policy in protesters palestinians have been

protesting for more than fourteen weeks demanding demanding the right of return demanding the right of gifting the locate that has been imposed on the gaza strip by israel since the beginning of the protest says the beginning of the great march of return one hundred thirty one palestinians have been killed and more than fourteen thousand palestinians have been injured including fifty four palestinians who got limbs amputated from the upper and lower body where the israeli forces have been using explosive bullets that have been fractured fractured completely fracture bones and tissues and causing long lasting disability i'm now standing approximately two hundred meters away only from the fence and it's very clear that the israeli soldiers are have really stationed the protests continue palestinians continue to protest and it's very clear that they have a message to the world that they won't give up on their land they won't give up on

jerusalem and they won't give up on trying to stick liberation. when responses ross says that soldiers are acting purely in self-defense televisa of considers the palestinian based organization hamas this terrorist and says the group uses protesters to breach the border. now a quick recap of that last sixteen months in sochi if you're going to portugal one edinson cavani heading you require in front after seven minutes for new suarez cross portugal level to ten minutes into the second. pay also with the head to head it in from the corner but come on he's done it again he's put your why back in front up to sixty two minutes after a brilliant break by the year at once and a quick reminder the winner of this much will face bronze in the quarter finals initially not go out on friday after they've beaten then no mess is argentina full story and that's true.

the. current american administration is raising tariffs and revising old trade agreements when america sneezes can the rest of the world of valued contracting protectionist fever. twenty forty you know bloody revolution appear to demonstrations going from being

relatively peaceful political protests to be recently bought a. revolution is always spontaneous or is it you know we hear. both to do with the belief that i mean you willingly go to the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. those who took. invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these another goal that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. i am x. factor this is the kaiser report the show massages your mind like find time assist there been

a banker who got the best misses ever feet all day will begin phoebus of let's talk to stacy herbert stacy and i just called. and max is doing a live periscope as we do this which is a basically a form of russian roulette for a t.v. presenter. except you know talking heads and set of other things whenever you want to put that down then we will commence and begin oh no resume our kaiser and i forget i don't think i'm around so i'm really blind at this point so i have a headline here i thought with give you great joy in fact i think it might give you go leave air bus prepares to take flights aerospace giant i'm brink of append and then british investment tens of thousands of manufacturing roles at risk over banks that but for the ordinary brit do not worry about the loss of thousands of jobs tens of thousands of jobs at airbus no no no picking fruit is more fun than you think out of the job seekers tell jobseekers picking fruit is more fun than you

thought this is the times of london of course picking fruit as well remember pre brags that it was all about the british might to bring back five hundred factories we're going to export our way back into a g.d.p. rocketship and take on the world cool britannia go britannia well turns out they're all going to be picking fruit out there and ken barry schier but it's more fun than you would possibly think is taken for a lot of fun well when i was a teenager i did pick strawberries for turn around pick some strawberries jumped or turn around pick some strawberries breaks it. now we're also briggs it was a mystic nevertheless it was a job apparently that was supposed to be fun it definitely was kind of fun when we were teenagers and hanging out with all my girlfriends on the strawberry fields but . there's stacy so i want to turn to the next headline because of course as you see from the front page of the times airbus prepares to take flight and picking

fruit is more fun than the think well it's not looking so good on the bags at front and apparently theresa may is not having much luck negotiating against merkel nobody seems to have much luck negotiating its merkel we saw donald trump recently trying to negotiate against her and throw her some starbucks candies from america and then she stayed firm she stay firm against yanis varoufakis and all the various greek people who tried to get her to back down on the debt but that didn't work either and we're going to get to that but putin glee is latest reason u.k. says it should get breaks that deal the u.k. will tell the european union that a no deal breaks it will be celebrated by russian president vladimir putin according to a person familiar with the british government's thinking as the latest attempt to soften the bloc stance by britain which wants wide ranging cooperation in areas from crime fighting to financial services but the e.u. insists the u.k.

can't have the same level of integration as it enjoyed as a member of the bloc right now you mention greece there are did you mention greece because there's an interesting side point there yeah i'm going to get to that if i can because there here is the u.k. and they're trying to negotiate against europe they're having no luck you're you're keeps on saying no no no no no you we're not going to give you all these goodies that you want because you're not part of the block anymore so now they're resorting to they've lost all negotiating leverage and all they have is that if you are so continue to be so hard on us then putin is going to be gleeful right so let me bring. the point that i made when the brakes of vote went down and i got a lot of flack by making the very obvious statement and observation that the united kingdom relies seventeen eighteen percent of their g.d.p. on exports to the e.u. the e.u. gets maybe four or five percent their g.d.p.

is based on exports to great britain so you never go to a gun fight with a knife and united kingdom was never going to win this negotiation and their attitude was a total in title meant like they don't understand we have got the queen so the germans are their friends they're just going to bow down and they're going to give us a great deal because we're great and everyone knows are great and i said wait a minute these are hardened to tonic just laying german people they're not going to just throw money at you you silly couse well the next headline just shows you who. may is up against what she's trying to negotiate because a full member of the e.u. who had the euro who was a part of the european union who are actually very enthusiastic members of the european union and embrace that fully and took in all the refugees and and immigrants flooding in throughout the because of the wars that we're fighting in the middle east while germany has made over three billion in profit from greece's

crisis since two thousand and ten s keep talking greece reports this is the official response of the federal government to request submitted by the green party in berlin the profit was transmitted to the central bank and from there to the federal budget the revenues came mainly due to purchases of greek government bonds under the so-called securities markets program of the european central bank so here is and jill a merkel who kept on you know they cry they protested they riot in the streets of st thomas where they did all that stuff they threw molotov cocktails they did everything and you know merkel has maintained the same. physical posture based on reaction for the past ten years and continues to say no and in fact profited from it so here's three some may i don't know why she expects as a hurry what sort of negotiating power she doesn't even have negotiating power because she's not even in the euro at least greece could kind of threaten to destroy the whole euro this is what happens when you have people of parliament and

running britain at number ten who are financially illiterate so we spell out quite specifically how germany is going to benefit by this by making negative bets with friends like john paulson and lloyd blankfein against greece and then going the credit default swap and they make negative presidents grace and greece collapses and they make billions of dollars an hour by having greece be a basket case it keeps the euro cheap which helps germany which is a huge export powerhouse why that's a benefit to them now finally ten years later they say you know what germany did make billions of euros all the destruction of greece guess what germany is going to have billions and billions of pounds on the destruction of the u.k. that's big to do the k. it's the fourth reich as i said at the time it's being manifested in real time and there's recently who to cross through with mind who well it's worth also noting that you know you mentioned the export figures between the u.k. and europe it wasn't really that where the u.k.

benefited the most where they benefited the most was as a sort of you know banking center from u.s. and china meets europe so they acted as a central clearinghouse for all of that and now we're seeing signs of banks leaving the u.k. but we do have a banking story in the headlines because all of those economies across europe whether it's now italy or prior to that greece they collapse because the bank and shenanigans let's call them that's because of course we're talking about a british bank here and one must only say shit and sin and little mistakes. in america is inappropriate. behavior really terribly hard. well our friend neil mitchell is in the news neil mitchell friend of kaiser report well boys under pressure as eight of fraud report is published so there was an internal lloyds banking group report written by a former manager at the bank and published on tuesday alleges serious misconduct by

the lender over the handling and disclosure fraud at this pos reading unit report written in twenty thirteen after the lloyd's manager had taken her concerns to the police alleges h. bos executives knew of the fraud as early as two thousand and four and failed to properly disclose it with far reaching implications given lloyds takeover of h. boss in two thousand and nine it also states lawyers mishandled this investigation and disclosure of the fraud following that takeover now m.p.'s had pleaded with lawyers to please release this to the public peace show the public which by the way have bailed out your bank and all the other banks and many of the other banks at least in the united kingdom in the certainly the financial system itself were bailed out by the inflation tax caused by the quantitative easing so they subpoenaed peaceful aides released that report to the public and way to go well we can't do that because of confidential confidentiality of our clients and our customers and things like this well neil mitchell had the report and he released it in the matter of national interest he's

a lot of you know the attitudes are the consumer in the banking sector in the u.k. straight them like mushrooms you feed them essentially feces and you keep them in the dark and feed them dog poop essentially that's the attitude that the regulators number ten downing street everyone who has any oversight capacity whatsoever for the u.k. banking industry treat them all like mushrooms now we of course were reporting on this in real time we informed the british public about the fraud that we're going on the massive fraud oh my little camera seems to have become flacid well put them over there first so i can maybe i'll go off the air go. camera. is still on but you know be you there about that you have to watch the actual show to get the show you can just watch like periscope so there you have a ranking system that was caught red handed and we reported on this we said look this is cell lawyer. barclays all these banks are committing massive fraud

and of course the biggest impediment to getting that information to the british public was. yeah and the entire system there as the article in the guardian knows the guardian as important as anything come right back to that the report has circulated privately among regulators and law enforcement officials for years but has not been made available to the public who chose not to release that to the public eye for me doesn't get released to the public well because of all these regulations against that sort of speech where or basically providing information to the peasants a giant what are the public that form of speech in other words if the when they say public they mean peasant member in the u.k. less of that's important yet the subjects so also like look at this tone here's a so-called progressive newspaper called the guardian and they're called that's the left wing of the right wing is the telegraph well look out this is their own sentence written in this article about lloyds this report released by

a kaiser report regular neil mitchell this is shows you the difference between the likes of kaiser report and the guardian here's their assessment the publication of this report comes at a sensitive time for lloyd's as it attempts to move past the painful legacy of missteps before and during the financial crisis right. because it's why people tune in to report not because it makes putting gleeful unhappy it's because they don't want to hear people say oh these little missteps and it's very unfortunate the scottish business neil mitchell released this report exposing the fraud and the defrauding of the population of the u.k. well it's just missteps the difference that they show is that the aristocracy is breathtakingly putrid and so i feel very bad about that meghan merkel was.
