downwards. headline news president putin is not an enemy but a competitor so says donald trump in the past few minutes as he wraps up the nato summit in brussels. also in our news this hour facebook has labeled thousands of russian having an interest in treason raising concerns over data driven profiling and interference also this hour . cheers and tears croatia make it through to the final set to take home france for the trophy this coming sunday fans erupting with joy when the team defeated england in extra time.

you know. if you're watching it's two in the afternoon this thursday july the twelfth you're watching welcome to the international i'm calling bright and moscow with this i was blind news and in the past few hours president trump has renewed calls for a far more military spending by nato member states and the said president putin is not an enemy but a competitor in the past few minutes he's just been wrapping up a nato summit in brussels. peabody's can have a good relationship with russia so they'll be a lot less problem with the pipeline but to me that was a very major point of contention we just custody at length today germany has agreed to do a lot better than they were doing and they were very happy with that we had

a very good relationship with the limerick ok live now to our europe correspondent peter all about how the pace there i guess was supposed to be a summit about nato strategy over the next year also tended to rather something else and what if anything. well to put it into the simplest of context call and donald trump back at the summit like he walked into the pub knocked over angle of merkel's pint on purpose stomped on a toes and then hit on her significant other when that didn't seem to provoke the fight he wanted he turned around to the rest of the people gathered in the bar and said one at a time or all together doesn't make any difference to me because that is the most simplest of analogies what we look back to what we said on the first day of the summit where donald trump called germany the captive of russia and this provoked quite a bit of reaction here in germany and happy reaction from the chancellor but not the the outbursts that perhaps we would have seen from donald trump himself in this statement he said that donald trump of course never want to let the facts get in

the way of some of his statements he said that germany took sixty to seventy percent of its energy from russia now really isn't the case germany actually takes nine percent of its energy from russia thirty seven percent of its gas but if we move on from there of course the big issue for donald trump is the north stream to pipeline that comes from russia directly into germany and what donald trump wants to see is the well that get stopped and to see germany have to import liquid natural gas of course from where from the united states at a much higher expensively well away from the ongoings between bread lin and washington we also saw donald trump take questions on the upcoming meeting with vladimir putin in helsinki next week during this he said that he didn't make any specific promises he said that it may not be the longest of meetings but what he did say is that he didn't view putin either is a foe or as a friend but viewed him as a competitor right now and certainly someone he didn't want to see turn into an

enemy. i hope we get along well i think we get along well but ultimately he's a competitor he's representing russia i'm representing the united states so in a sense we're competitors not a question of friend or enemy he's not my enemy and hopefully some day maybe he'll be a friend it could happen but i know i just don't know him very well i've been to a couple of times or be keeping an eye on that meeting of course and all the build up to that meeting over the next week but will also be keeping a very close eye on is what else comes out of this nato summit donald trump may have left but i can tell you the other leaders have not may be about to leave the other leaders certainly have not we're expecting to hear from yen stoltenberg the secretary general a little later on on thursday afternoon and we'll be looking to see whether he backs up some of the claims made by donald trump that he'd made great strides towards getting nato members to their funding be interesting to see if what the

secretary general has to say also we're expecting to hear from angola merkel if what she has to say tallies with what the u.s. president just said then and if any of them can even come up with the cash at all because some of them are a little cash strapped to the moment all right though for now here on of in berlin thanks for that. now about nato summit in brussels did have some harsh words for several alliance members but it seems there's at least one person who's been impressed by. you drive you don't you could miss your. list is you particularly given but feel. if people even if. you. donald trump on his way out of brussels on air force one due in a couple of hours in the u.k. for a working visit for his first time as a u.s. president during this trip the u.s. president will have a lavish entourage is going to be accompanied by a thousand staff multiple helicopters and two limos nicknamed the beast the total

should cost of this trip is estimated at thirty million pounds a massive protests are expected as well across the u.k. the u.s. embassy in britain is also worried about the safety of americans during this short visit even if you don't alert warning people to be cautious and urging them to keep a low profile as an associate are going to reports. the day has come donald trump's first official visit to the u.k. starts this thursday to be wining and dining with theresa may and her ministers visiting scotland and meeting the queen one place he'll be avoiding for the next couple of days though is central london as thousands are expected onto the streets to protest his visit the number of police being mobilized is in the thousands to reportedly the largest number since the twenty eleven riots. and activists have crowd funded cash for gigantic baby balloon and trump's likeness

to amplify the message that the u.s. president is not welcome here i don't want to me you're. not welcome i don't have any time or respect for him. why you coming come he can come i'm just not interested in what he has to say i don't think he's a popular guy over here you know but. if you've got to come. home like you've still why not. he's got money so it's. best to any of these so do you think the u.k. is not really excited to have him here and be waiting to hear this he's president elected president of the united states so i think. on the level of diplomacy due respect is given to each head of state donald trump are you excited you know why not use a disgraced american donald trump visiting the u.k. what do you think of it are you looking forward to it you know but i would like to

see him see the giant baby you know and like you know. what do you think about donald trump visiting are you excited not really no i don't really like him what do you think about this crowd funded giant balloon that looks like a baby trump floating over london do you think it's a good idea or. why people might think it's a good idea i think he. this is the crying baby in a nappy but we have to remember that we don't want to pull out with him or. next up it's been revealed that facebook's labeled sixty five thousand russian members as having an interest in treason now is fair the information could have been used to target people with relevant articles on the sentence why public opinion and i get the of with me in the studio to talk more about more i don't revel in the forest what's this all about but facebook really outdid itself on this one here's how it went facebook has categories for example your online activity it

monitors it and that it labels you. as a certain you know interested in a certain things such as for example you might be interested in a watch or what else interested in terrorism and cars they had a category as which said interested in treason and there was sixty five thousand. russian members of facebook that in this category so you know perhaps judy they're all know that if it's the they were they were marked as such perhaps because they were against the government perhaps because they didn't like russians or russia itself nevertheless facebook was caught and only then did they up and remove this category. included as a category given its historical significance given it is an illegal activity we have removed it as an interest category now here is the juice of it who do you think would be interested in the state it certainly wouldn't be watchmakers to.

clothes advertise no this would this would be for propagandists for people who want to target the centers to target those inclined according to facebook inclined to treason it would be to target these people and bombard them. with anti russian propaganda hopefully rile them up and eventually perhaps even encourage them to commit to commit treason but. overrule this is seen as a perfect tool to meddle in a country's affairs internal politics yet or some so many evil doesn't it's not just about politics there is in this categorization spreads much further well this is this is the new age we live in this is what it is slowly been building up the complete loss of privacy the important thing to note here is that users have no idea. because of facebook's policies which categories they're labeled it and

aside from treason you have plenty more controversial categories. but the gambling offers no similar protections for information about those categories that it has inferred itself for instance their use them i'd be interested in homosexuality or interested in islam now where as jew to this firestorm of criticism they remove the interested in treason category they still have the interested in homosexuality category or interested in islam category the thing is it isn't only advertisers that can access this data it can be governments so for example you have the government of saudi arabia which has access to this data and in saudi arabia homosexuals are executed in myanmar where muslims are persecuted the government could look up you know the facebook users

that are interested in islam so in this case. how would you feel if you were marked that make out a boy in a country where you could be targeted because of it where modest men could come to your house kidnap you and. take you away so in this instance we've reached out to facebook we've asked them for comment now they're coming so far but it's safe to say that with these categories and some places in the world facebook is literally endangering lives because it's not just facebook at facebook is of course by far the biggest on the block isn't it and you just one thing people always forget with every click that you make whatever you see on your screen there are a dozen eyes looking behind it all the time ok maria thanks very much for that. the world cup and croatia have advanced to sunday's final after beating england two one in a nail biting match the went into extra time. thank

you we thank. you. thank you. i think it's an incredible achievement for a country where the league is a minor league where the majority not just

a majority i think almost one hundred percent of the players they don't play in croatia sol they are people like. like myself working abroad and when you work abroad i seem to feel your country even in a in a different way so for them to go back to their countries and and to take a country like croatia to a world cup final is something amazing england of course they have a reason to cry but they have also a reason to be optimistic. and the team improved a lot in relation to previous appearances and the squad these young the majority of the players they can play the next world cup there's a mall in france they are having a nice drink and in their rooms or in the by. not celebrating their victory but celebrating the extra time. and celebrating twenty four hours

more than them to rest which i sync is very very unfair for a world cup final icing both teams should play the semifinal in the same day we see the world cup the russian world cup it's being quite an amazing world cup on so many levels has it given you a taste for something towards international management at some point he'll have to do i want i always wanted i always wanted i always told that i have to do it once but especially being in russia and sealing the emotions around it i want to do it's and also by my experience point of view this kind of short competition i never did it i was always about competitions of of eleven months i was always about marathons i was never a sprinter and so i was i i want to have that feeling i lived

a knockout i love the knockout i love i love the fact of you when you go through you lose you go home i always loved. the knockout competitions but. this kind of shot competition like like the euros like the world cup. i think is an experience that i want to have croatia to give it credit for now in a second of a person or a lot of pressure and for twenty minutes or so we held all of. what i got to go at a time that just killed a man and a good. four we don't well get a couple charges read one trade off the lot and actually. it's something beautiful what has happened to me in the whole team it was probably one of the most special goals of my career and i hope it wasn't the last i really can't describe it. of the i the only one

let somebody who do not like somebody do you know what nobody about you know what i do want one this is the best game i think raise a football history we love all guys you going to support them till the end of the race i will be number one devastated see i mean i didn't hear you well came back to where we first met my cure not to scare or can offer day care. years or surveyor pup of her. oakley. oh now throughout the competition we've been gathering fans reactions from around the world on social media there's been a lot to get through as well behaved some of the best from the latest encounter. was. was.

i. i i. think i even. like the i was. the. oh the atlas. was a am going on. of course this is the first time the crow i share a small european country with a popular. just over four million people has ever made it to the last stage of a world cup tournament and not be facing

a strong french team in the final come this sunday in moscow before that though third place will be decided that tomorrow the playoff will see england take on belgium in some petersburg of course in the tournament when belgium defeated england one nil in the group phase. with the championship going into its final stages then fans from around the globe have been going through the mill experience of all the highs and lows of the world cup has to offer current world cup champions germany were sent packing in the group stage suffering a stinging two nil defeat by a tenacious south korea but lost didn't deter some german fans from staying here for the whole of the competition. consequence must by the structure of the legal suit when they also show you in the in the. moment the suits abbate in the midst of. the job mean obviously done things so all mothers of. the sons are in the to do the mom one

side also feel to most of us really and we differ from stem view some. people sometimes. it's not looked. up to the experience of this kind of a new group of guys and couple days when i was given a feel of what would be up to the school so i bought the. one that i placed. off the clock cycle doesn't this fall but. it's a good instructor call me about some of those. less than full months use up so this might stick in longer shrug off the side opposition to the book it's beautiful body but it's a common thing and i don't mean the small structures on the harmful should also be pushed above this and i can see for.

color what i'm gone through and what you should know if it will be stomped on the lens of. the. next the israel ukraine story is accusing the israeli newspaper ha'aretz of spreading fake news its after it published a report about israel arming ukrainian neo nazis ukraine cited investigative journalist and frequent guest on r.t. max blumenthal as the author of the article and he's written extensively on this subject before but now he's being accused of hiding behind a false name. mugs blumenthal and signing behind the pseudonym of john browne

attributed to the authorship of the mention article republished by haaretz it was a big surprise for me that such a respected media as haaretz could publish some very fine and biased information i . was not the author of any of the articles exposing this scandal however my research was used by one of the journalists in a separate article by the israeli newspaper ha'aretz a journalist writing under the name john browne also exposed this scandal and the ukrainian ambassador to israel has bizarrely excuse me of being john brown based on zero evidence at all all of my work over the years exposing the rise of neo nazi ism in post made on ukraine has been written under my name that's blumenthal and it's the ukrainian ambassador not me who's advancing fake news of a group that allegedly received the arms of the right wing assholes militia on this

training video you can see weapons which according to the ripoff is right he made tough on assault rifle but the ukrainian embassy says it's a copy produced on the license inside ukraine is much blumenfeld again the as of battalion has posted pictures on its own social media channels of its fighters holding talks or rifles which are israeli made rifles that cannot be replicated by any other military israel is arming a neo nazi battalion which has been condemned by human rights groups for attacks in eastern ukraine it is ideologically aligned with the violent racist militia they are one of the most important strike forces in ukraine's fight against pro russian separatists in the east and so they need their muscle but at the same time they need to cover up the fact that when the ranks of the as a battalion you are substantially comprised because of hard core neo nazis that would embarrass. them in the eyes of the west. and we have requested the ukrainian

ambassador to israel and the israeli defense ministry to comment on this will keep asking if they do get back to us we'll let you know what they say. a migrant support groups launched a campaign to help tens of thousands of students reset a mandatory english language exam for foreigners the want to study in the u.k. it claims that many have been wrongly accused of cheating an investigation by the b.b.c.'s panorama program in twenty fourteen exposed an immigration fraud linked to the test which is a requirement for visa applications at the time more than thirty thousand test results were declared invalid and the students accused of cheating by twenty sixteen the home office had revoked the visas of nearly thirty six thousand people . many say it's ruined their lives. had the issue still i'm not working anywhere because i'm not allowed to this is like this is just trade my life and my golden age five years i mean it's not my work has been waiting twelve

years i couldn't minutes to spend time with i lost my family members almost three members i. see them a few of them are going to do anything this is like i'm in prison there is no freedom or fly i can go even court i can go back i can go what i can go to see my parents i can spend time with my wife so what's the situation like what. the home office reiterated an earlier response to the cheating scandal saying it was measured and proportionate but a lawyer representing the students says there's no effective legal recourse for them. this is an accusation of fraud or fact criminal offense but they are given the opportunity to be a picture of reputed evidence upon which that accusation has been made and often the evidence. very suspect and very unreliable from my own experience i've seen a number of cases and perhaps the most serious individuals don't have any ability

to be able to appeal that decision through an effective means. i'm not sure for this hour i'm back in thirty four minutes with more of the fallout from the nato summit as members real from donald trump's insistence they spend more he's now off to britain of course where he's likely to get a lively welcome we're on top of that this is our see him column bright thanks for watching. this side the sad part of afterlife. afghanistan. their wives their sisters as a. human being. but unfortunately do not get a physical structures were kind of broken but close associate of social values. not only this is what actually damaged our structures and structures but it

unfortunately damaged our values to. coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star and the huge amount of pressure you have to the center of the. the great. you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get down the left go. alone as does that and i'm really happy to join for the thousand in the world cup in russia meet this special one come on don't appreciate me just say the radio the

latest edition to make up is bigger so i need to. look. greetings and salutations. there once was a magical time here in the united states when engaging in civil discourse you know partaking in enlightening discussions with those whose political politics and beliefs were opposite of your own was not only applauded but rewarded values. donald trump was elected president and apparently everyone has lost their collective minds or at least at least that's what their excuse will be because now hark watchers we live in the insta times of neo liberal con fear mongers click bait candidates and wall streets filled with vampire squids and of course a mess and b.

c. where you or i can find ourselves being called a traitor to our own country for saying something like the following but there's this sense that russia is now an enemy on par with al-qaeda or the japanese during world war two russia is often talked about this way in the sense that any kind of connection with or interaction with russia is viewed as inherently suspicious or even worse. and for preaching the sac religious notions of international common ground can call sanity between two nuclear superpowers mr greenwald was met with venom by the likes of emma stone b.b.c. contributor and security state cheerleader malcolm mance who tweeted this stunning display of his excelsior college education writing glenn greenwald shows his true colors as an agent of trump in moscow now we know why he helps no didn't affect covers for wiki leaks attack on democracy and shills for fox news he's deep in the

kremlin's pocket. about the only truth in that entire tweet was that the names were spelled correctly and you forgot to capitalize the n. but hey who needs truth and accuracy when you've got the fires of a new cold war to stoke a neo liberal fears to monger but you know what i think i think it's time to bring some honest discourse back in to the conversation so let's start watching the hawks . that's. the bottom. like you that i got. with. well they're really watching the hawks i am tired.
