and italy and the rest are saying no we don't want to be a part. of big stories this hour president putin is not an enemy but a competitor so says donald trump as he wraps up a nato summit in brussels. facebook labels thousands of russian members as having an interest in treason raising concerns over data driven profiling and interference plus in the world cup. croatia make their first ever final on football's biggest stage play france for the crowned champions fans erupted with joy when their team defeated england two one in extra time.

three pm this thursday to the twelfth here in moscow wherever you're watching welcome to r.t. international i'm calling with this hour's headline news first for you then president trump has renewed calls for far more military spending by nato member states and said that president putin is not an enemy but a competitor at a surprise news conference that he wrapped up just over an hour ago at the summit 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 don't i just don't know him very well i bet a couple of times i look out of this correspondent peter out of a high that this summit was supposed to be run of the mill thing about strategy but it turned into something quite different didn't it. well it certainly did we still got a few days of the world cup left call and i'll use

a football analogy if i can donald trump ran out onto the field determined to try and provoke a fight from with somebody angela merkel was his first point of call essentially while the referee wasn't looking there were elbows thrown toast stomped on even when maybe perhaps even fighting on the back of the neck the worst possible war but he didn't get a rise out of chancellor merkel until well he brought up energy and started suggesting that because germany took in his words sixty to seventy percent of their energy from russia there it's well germany was a captive of the russian state and there is a cap for those they supply that get rid of the car to get rid of the. getting so much of the world yes for russia i think it's something that they are still ok i think it's very appropriate they pay billions of dollars to russia and now we have to defend them against russia. it is worthwhile pointing out the president as

we know isn't somebody who's let facts and figures get in the way of what he has to say in the past the actual real figure at the germany takes in terms of energy from russia is nine percent overall thirty five percent when it comes to gas but of course this is all got to do with the nord stream to the pipeline which donald trump has in the past opposed because he wants to see germany and other european countries import much more expensive liquid natural gas from the united states as opposed to having gas pipe directly to them from russia put in well you can never expect what's going to come from this u.s. president on thursday when he gave this news conference he seemed to have changed his tune a little bit about nord stream. it is going to be 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 discussed it at length today germany has agreed to do a lot better than they were doing and we're very happy with it we had

a very good relationship with uncle merkel well one thing you certainly can't accuse the u.s. president of is a lack of self belief particularly his own diplomatic skills he was talking up his ability to get a deal not just for the united states but perhaps for even. his nato partners when he went off to speak to. putin in helsinki next week now he's left this nato summit now he's off to the united kingdom where he has a state visit to go to before that meeting with their the russian president but what will be interesting to see considering donald trump spent most of this press conference saying how it was on him why he had been able to agree to the other nato member state leaders to agree to pay more money into the alliance it was all down to him and install to get said big thank you to donald trump personally for getting this done we're going to have a we're going to be looking forward to listening to what the other world leaders have to say and other nato alliance leaders have to say when they speak

a little later on thursday afternoon let's see if the the two comments tally up particularly when it yet and stoltenberg speaks at the end of the summit to wrap it all up and say what exactly has been achieved. ok when we hear from them we'll be right back with you for now though peter in berlin thank you about now at that nato summit in brussels trump had some harsh words for several alliance members but seems to one person he's impressed by. you know if you don't know if you can if you're looking for me live you more or less yes' you sure particularly given that film. even if you. are now donald trump's on route to the u.k. for a working visit for the first time as a u.s. president now during this trip the u.s. president will have a lavish entourage he'll be accompanied by a thousand staff multiple helicopters and two limos named the beast the total shed

cost of this trip is estimated to be at thirty million pounds and massive protests are expected across the u.k. . now the u.s. embassy in britain is also worried about the safety of americans during this visit even issued an alert warning people to be cautious and doing them to keep a low profile as honest to say check in to report. the day has come donald trump's first official visit to the u.k. starts this thursday could be wining and dining with theresa may and her ministers visiting scotland and meeting the queen one police will be avoiding for the next couple of days though is central london as thousands are expected on to 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 i'm. not welcome i don't have any time or respect for him. why do you come in come he can come i'm just not interested what he has to say is 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. that's true any reason so do you think the u.k. is not really excited to have him here the way to hear this he's president elected president of the united states so i think. on the level of diplomacy do you respect is given to each head of state donald trump are you excited you know why don't you see 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 i'm like you know. what even 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. people might think it's a good idea i think that he personally this is the crying baby in a nappy but we have to remember that we don't want to pull out within the. next it's been revealed that facebook is labeled sixty five thousand russian members as having an interest in treason it's fear the creating profiles of people could leave them vulnerable to a range of threats both on and off line well because as the details facebook really outdid itself on this one here is how it went certain facebook users russians in this case were internally so they didn't know labeled as interested in

treason so those perhaps with the government view against russia all russians facebook only stopped when they got caught treason was included as a category given its historical significance given it is an illegal activity we have removed it as an interest category now here's the juice of it who do you think would be interested in this data clue that the thais as watchmakers now don't and propagandists those interested in riling these people up targeting bombarding them with anti russian propaganda masquerading as ads encouraging them to commit treason a perfect tool to meddle in russia's politics facebook remove the treason category due to criticism but there are plenty more that it's keeping thirty advertisers of course. but the gambling offers no similar protections for information about those

categories that it has inferred itself for instance that i use them i'd be interested in sexuality or interested in islam that information facebook isn't removing how would you feel if for example you were marked as interested in homosexuality in saudi arabia where homosexuals are executed how would you feel if you were marked as interested in islam and myanmar where muslims are exterminated and facebook may well have been marking potential traitors in other countries much less respectful of human rights in which these people might disappear we've tried to contact them for that comment but no response so far and at this stage it's safe to say that facebook has been literally endangering people's lives. on the world cup and croatia have made it to sunday's final after beating england

two one in a nail biting match that needed extra time to separate the two teams. i

think is an incredible achievement for a country where the league is a minor league where the majority not just a majority almost one hundred percent of the players they don't play in croatian soul 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 grisha 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. in the squad these young the majority of the players they can play the next world cup there's a moment france they are having

a nice drink in in their rooms or in the bar not celebrating their victory but celebrating the extra time. and celebrating twenty four hours more than them to rest i seeing 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 teh taste for something towards international management at some point have you thought to 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 feeling the emotions around it i want to do it sense also by my experience point of view. discussions of short competition i never did it i was

always about competitions of as eleven months i was always about marathons i was never a sprinter and so i will i want to have that that feeling i love to knock out 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 is. i think is an experience that i want to have. to give him credit somehow in a second off a person there are a lot of pressure and for twenty minutes or so it we held on and. but i got to go at a time that just killed a momentum of that and after the four we don't well we had a couple charges read one played off the lot and actually for the person 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 so. i. thought it was you know i still do you know. well you know why i this is the best game i think in the race of football history we love our guys are going to support them to the end grayson will be number one but devastated i mean they didn't bury me very well look came back go where we first met you're not. care you know for. years. what was. the competition we've been gathering. and reactions from around the world on social

media here's what we got from wednesday semifinal. i was. was. it worth. was.

how this is the first time croatia have ever made it to the stage of a world cup an impressive feat for a small european nation of just four million people and they're going to be up against firm favorites france in sunday's final in moscow but before that third place will be decided on saturday the playoff will see england take on belgium in some petersburg their course met earlier in the tournament when belgium defeated in england one nil in the group face. so with the final now just a couple of days away fans from around the globe have been through the mill experiencing 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 at the hands of south korea but that loss did not deter some german fans from staying on for the remainder of the competition. that's a bunch of us by the struggle of the super bowl and they also show you the world need. more than the suits abbate the in the midst of.

you know obviously done things some tall mothers. the sons are in the to believe one side doesn't feel to most basili and we differ from stem view some. it wasn't. based on looks. up to the history of the british kind of a new group of guys and couple days when i was given a feel for the obvious to the school so i bought the. one that i pushed. off the club title doesn't this fall but. it's a good at that stuff you call me about some good dozen. of them sold months use cups of dust mites didn't love the shop bought the site opposition to the book because it's beautiful bye bye like. that i mean the small structures on the

harmful should also be pushed about this and i can see for. telling what i'm going through what you should know that will be stomped on the end of. the. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be

an arms race is spearing dramatic developments only going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit. and talk. with lawmakers manufacture consensus public wealth. when the ruling classes project themselves. in the frame of. the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick.

all over again ukraine is accusing the israeli newspaper ha'aretz of spreading fake news after it published a report about israel arming ukrainian near nazis and ukraine cited investigative journalist and frequent guest on r.t. blumenthal as author of the article he's written extensively on the subject before but he's now accused of hiding behind a false name. mocks blumenthal and signing behind the pseudonym of john browne attributed to the order shape of the mention article republished by haaretz it was a big. a prize for me that such a respected media as horowitz 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 brown also exposed this scandal and the ukrainian ambassador to israel has bizarrely cuse me of being john brown based on zero evidence at all all of my work over the years exposing the rise of neo nazi is an post made on ukraine has been written under my name max blumenthal and it's the ukrainian ambassador not me who's advancing fake news for the group that allegedly received since the right wing as of militia almost training video you can see weapons which according to the report of the as ready made topple so rifle the ukrainian embassy says it's a copy produced on the license in ukraine has maximum fall again. be as of battalion has posted pictures on its own social media channels of its fighters holding top of 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 the ranks of the as a battalion who are substantially comprised because of the hard core neo nazis that would embarrass them in the eyes of the west. i weep requested the ukrainian ambassador to israel and the israeli defense ministry to comment on this as soon as we hear anything but we'll let you know what they say. next quantum obey prisoners could be kept locked up without charge indefinitely according to a u.s. justice department official he was speaking during a rare legal case in which eleven inmates in the u.s. detention center in cuba had their appeal for release heard by a court in mainland america they've been held at the notorious u.s.

military facility some for as long as fifteen years without charge of their lawyers are demanding that they either tried or finally released that the eleven men were not allowed to listen to the court arguments because there was no room big enough to shackle them all of the same time according to the authorities their lawyers and human rights groups have described the imprisonment of grant on the mobo is unconstitutional and against international law pointing to cases like the one of behind me is a yemeni citizen he's been detained in guantanamo bay for fifteen years on suspicion of having be a member of al qaeda he's never been charged in fact he was previously cleared by u.s. authorities granted release papers on three occasions each time canceled at the last minute and he remains in prison just like another inmate who made this appeal and they still have faith even after all this time they did judge will see through this stupidity the better solution would be deceived the american taxpayer the eleven million per year to keep me here and maybe nobody but i am

a very expensive nobody. the kuantan of a bay detention camp was opened in two thousand and two by president george w. bush since then seven hundred eighty prisoners have been held there as part of america's fight against terrorism human rights groups have decried the treatment of inmates after reports of abuse and torture surfaced despite efforts from the previous administration to shut it down donald trump signed an executive order to keep the camp open indefinitely of former guantanamo prison to describe the torment he suffered. torture false imprisonment cruel inhuman degrading treatment something that myself and many others endured but i think the cruelest most torturous treatment has being detained without charge or trial by a country that claims to be the bastion of freedom and human rights and democracy we already look at looking tortured on mass the americans a little bit during the. torture but what's happening now is that on time and will . is as american as american pie and i think most most people recognize this

whether it's bush or. donald trump all have allowed one tunnel to exist and continue under the presidency. a migrant support group has launched a campaign to help tens of thousands of students research 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 these are applications and at the time more than thirty thousand test results were declared invalid and the students were accused of cheating by twenty sixteen the home office had revoked the visas of nearly thirty six thousand people who sat that test many say to ruin their lives. i had the issue steal i'm not working anywhere because i'm not allowed to this is like this is just troy and my life and my golden age five years i mean to spend it or not my wife has been

waiting twenty years i couldn't minutes to spend time we thought i lost my family members must remember. minister go and see them a few of them i got 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 home 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 secure their home office reiterated an earlier response by the cheating scandal just saying again that it was a measured and proportionate response but a lawyer representing the students says there's no effective legal recourse for them. this is an accusation of fraud or fact a criminal offense but they are given no opportunity to be able to review the evidence upon which that accusation has been made and often evidence is very suspect and very unreliable from my own experience i've seen a number of cases and perhaps the most serious problem is that individuals don't

have any ability to be able to appeal that decision through an effective means and for this hour i'm calling bribe back in just over half an hour with your next world news update. thanks kaiser's financial survival will place a money the delicate. touch it is it is the central plank support via cummins kind of problem right now so you stop to. feel. this stuff or something the sad part of his life getting taliban was that. the meat of afghanistan all of these new guard their wives their sisters as

a. kind of human being i mean if that's historically like that but unfortunately due to the taliban not only that you know physically of other structures were kind of broken but most associated of social values were damaged so it's not only the slow one and conflict actually damaged our structures that infrastructure but it unfortunately damaged a lot of values to. come on. this is bombast broadcast around the world from washington d.c. i'm far children thank you for watching preheated coming up today as international

tensions continue to rise in the small to crave for shifts in to get an even higher year who thought we could get higher what is the market impact we'll ask the founder and c.e.o. of the stocks melissa arma from our new york studios plus we do crypto right today with two great. yes christy are from the tech trader fun and aretha khan the crypto champion and c.e.o. and founder of the new himalaya capital to exchange lots to get to but first we had a few has bought the trumpet ministration is active yet again to place even more tariffs on chinese imports the total this time is a whopping two hundred billion dollars the goods that will be hit by the newest terrace will include things like fruits vegetables apparel and leather among other things the move represents an extreme escalation of the tariffs and many observers now wonder if the united states and china are on the brink of a fundamental quality of change from a long running quarrel to an all out soiled and sour relationship between the two larger.
