headlining right now u.s. president donald trump arrives in the u.k. for his first official visit this is live at stansted airport north of london where air force one is just taxi to its final position his trips look set to trigger mass protests in cities across great britain with many saying that he's just not welcome . i don't want to meet. is not welcome i don't have any time more respect for him this is a disgrace to america. i would try to make the russian president next week he pointed out to his nato allies this afternoon that he views putin as a competitor not an enemy he's representing russia i'm representing the united states so in a sense we're competitors not a question of friend or enemy not my enemy. other news we're across the sour face
9:01 am
book labels thousands of russian news this is having an interest in treason leading to heightened fears over the dangers posed by data driven profiling. brian this is r.t. international this thursday the twelfth of july is four pm here in moscow it's two pm in the u.k. that's where we start because that's where the u.s. president donald trump has just landed for the start of a working visit now let's just show you what's happening right now at stansted airport about sixty kilometers north of london that's where in the past few minutes if you were watching the many screen last hour you'll have seen air force one come in to land on what is a lovely summer afternoon just north of the capital of the steps of just pulled up to the plane so within the next few minutes we should see the u.s. president and the first lady melania trump emerge from that aircraft it's a quite a lot they've got to get through today from that. paul they'll be taking
9:02 am
a helicopter to london and there's a few things shadowed for him between now and the end of this trip and see if four days in total not all of them working there will also be a dinner with the queen they'll be at dinner later today with reserve may and no doubt a few things are going to crop up in that conversation not least of all some of the statements that have been made in the past couple of days over nato where he's been for the past two days in brussels he wants people to pay more money to reason may says we pay enough and we're committing more troops to afghanistan on top of that he is also challenged about his thoughts on bret's it now previously is not hold back on what he thinks they're generally tends to work towards but he wouldn't be pulled on that at the news conference that we brought to you live on r t a couple of hours ago he said it's not for me to say i think things will be very different a couple of hours from now. there's some of the stuff from air force one which is the extremely expensive and very well equipped plane that used to take the u.s. president all around the world. couple of the things that the presidents
9:03 am
do to be doing in the next couple of days he's got a few stops at some pretty scenic places across southern england to be off to a plane and palace first off of the birthplace of winston churchill the grand state of the pile in oxfordshire. there he's going to have dinner with to reserve may they've not seen eye to eye on many things despite when the cameras are pointing at them with a lot of talk of collaboration and cooperation and occasionally you'll get a whiff of the mention of special relationship but in between separate thoughts on how bracks it should pan out trade tariffs nato the e.u. there's a lot of places that the reason may divert is right now donald trump by the magic is probably riding the crest of a wave in his mind anyway certainly over that nato summit where he believes he's got every other member on board to boost all of their defense spending your two percent from them eventually he wants something as big as four percent so he thinks that's all down to him but he's arriving in britain of course at a time of great and to my. politics in great britain it's been
9:04 am
a tough week for to reason may at checkers which is the prime minister's country residence last week she had a lock in with the cabinet and in twelve hours managed to hammer out a deal that was seemingly to get them all on board it didn't she lost her foreign secretary boris johnson she lost her negotiator the breakfast secretary david davis and a couple of other ministers have also left the government and have not held back in criticizing the reason may. and while we await for donald trump to emerge from that aircraft and start his visit proper opposition to this official visit from president from been growing among the british public the country is now braced for a whirlwind of protests as well not only in london but also in cities across the u.k. trump says he's unfazed. protests there might be protests but i believe that the people in the u.k. scotland ireland as you know i have property in ireland and property all over i
9:05 am
think that those people they like me a lot and they agree with me on immigration. that was donald trump speaking just a couple of hours ago at that hastily convene nato summit and now there's the president and his wife the first lady learned from leaving air force one on the tarmac at stansted airport which like i say is not that close to london it's one of the furthest london airports from the city. from here they will board a helicopter and make their way to their first engagement about going to be out west and that's going to be in the palace. will be a number of talks that they want to no doubt get to the bottom of but while he's in london as we've been reporting here on r.t. is due to be a very very well attended protest march and this is going to come a great expense to the police in england and wales because i think just about every force has had to give some offices in order to be able to police the expected protests to no doubt be accompanied by that inflatable blimp that the mayor of london. will be allowed to fly over london during donald trump's visit to the
9:06 am
capitol thousands are expected to go to london to protest against his visit. and ten thousand officers involved in trying to police in. central london mainly to be avoided to during this trip some fifteen thousand people are expected to stage protests in the coming hours and days but to ensure the president's security in britain as i mentioned a massive security operation is in place not only is he going to be accompanied by a thousand of his own staff as well as backup from multiple helicopters to limos nicknamed the beast the total cost of this trip and that's a should cost between the u.s. and britain it's going to be some thirty million pounds is on this to see if. 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
9:07 am
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 a 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 hear. you're not welcome i don't have any time or respect for him. why do you come he can 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 but. if you don't. like it's true. why don't. you go my.
9:08 am
so do you think the u.k. is not really excited to have him here the way 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 disgrace to america donald trump what do you think of it are you looking forward to it you know that i would like to see him see the giant baby you know. like you know. what do you think about donald trump visiting are you excited not really don't really like him much 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 deserves the crying baby in the people but we have to remember that we do want to pull out with. just
9:09 am
a couple of hours ago cause president trump was at the nato summit in brussels where he renewed calls for far more military spending by member states he also stressed the poet in is not an enemy but a competitor surprise news conference as he wrapped up his visit. i hope we get along well i think we get along well but ultimately he's a competitor he's representing gratia i'm representing the united states so in a sense we're competitors not a question of friends or enemies 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 next our europe correspondent peter oliver has more on how one of the most intense summits in nato's recent history as unraveled. donald trump ran out onto the field determined to try and provoke a fight with somebody angela merkel was his first point of call but he didn't get a rise out of chancellor merkel until well he brought up energy and started
9:10 am
suggesting that because germany took in his words sixty to seventy percent of their energy from russia that swelled germany was a captive of the russian state germany is a captive for those they supply they get rid of the car to get rid of the nuclear they get so much of the world affairs for russia i think it's something that has to look at i think it's very inappropriate they pay billions of dollars to russia and now we have to defend them against russia this is all got to do with the nord stream to 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 is booked 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 north stream three but he's going to have a good relationship with russia so they'll be a lot less problem with the pipeline but to me there was
9:11 am
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 they were very happy with that we had a very good relationship with uncle americal 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 get to the other nato member state leaders to agree to pay more money into the alliance we're going to 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. up particularly when yet and stoltenberg speaks at the end of the summit to wrap it all up and say what exactly has been achieved. it's been revealed that facebook has
9:12 am
labeled sixty five thousand russian members as having an interest in treason and fear the creating profiles for people could leave them vulnerable to a range of threats both on and offline when i guess he has 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 anti government views or against russia are 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 that propagandists those interested in riling these people up there are getting
9:13 am
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 homosexuality 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 or how do you feel if you are marked as interested in islam and near where muslims are exterminated and facebook may well have been marking potential traders in other countries much less
9:14 am
respectful of human rights in which these people might disappear we've tried to contact them for the comment but no response so far and at this stage it's safe to say that facebook has been literally endangering people's lives. went on a mobile prisoners could be kept locked up without charges indefinitely according to a u.s. justice department official a comment came during a rare legal case in which eleven inmates in the u.s. detention center in cuba had their appeals for trial or release by a court in washington the official said they could be held for as long as the war on terror continues. i think the government didn't help its case by saying that you know essentially. you know this is this war might be like one hundred years war in england and potentially we could end up detaining people for several generations as long as hostilities were ongoing in the war on terror and the men are being held at the notorious military prison some for as long as fifteen years without ever being
9:15 am
charged with a crime now their lawyers are demanding that the inmates are either tried or released the eleven men themselves were not allowed to listen in on the court arguments because the authorities said there was no room big enough to shackle them all in together now lawyers and human rights groups have described the conditions of imprisonment of guantanamo bay as unconstitutional and against international law now among the group appealing for release is tell feek he's a yemeni citizen and he's been detained in guantanamo bay since two thousand and three on suspicion of having been a member of al qaeda he's never been charged in fact he was previously cleared by u.s. authorities and granted release papers on three occasions each time though it was canceled at the last minute here's how another detainee in a similar position commented on the situation and i 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 poor year to keep me here and maybe nobody but i am
9:16 am
a very expensive nobody the guantanamo bay detention camp was opened in two thousand and two by president george w. bush and 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 try and shut it down donald trump signed an executive order to keep that camp open indefinitely forty people are still incarcerated there one former guantanamo prison to describe the torment that he suffered. torture false imprisonment cruel inhuman degrading treatment is something that myself and many others endured but i think the cruelest and most torturous treatment has being that you are detained without charge or trial by a country that claims to be the bastion of freedom and human rights and democracy we already know people are being tortured on mass the americans have mentioned it during the state report on torture but what's happening now is that one tunnel.
9:17 am
is as american as american pie and i think most most people recognize this whether it's bush obama or donald trump all have allowed one tunnel to exist and continue under the presidency this is r.t. one of europe's smallest countries has big hopes to be on top of the world come sunday as croatia defy the odds to get themselves into the world cup final imagine how the fans are feeling find out after the break. a break from many clubs over the years so i know the game inside guides. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super manager billionaire owners and spending two to twenty million on one player. it's an experience like nothing else want to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game i
9:18 am
9:20 am
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're having
9:21 am
a nice drink and in their rooms all in the by. not celebrating their victory but celebrating the extra time. and celebrating twenty four hours more than them to rest which i sing 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 and also by my experience point of view this kind of short competition i never did it i was always about competitions of of
9:22 am
eleven months i was always about marathons i was never a sprinter and so i will i want to have 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. i think is an experience that i want to have. to give him credit for now in a second of a person or a lot of pressure and for twenty minutes or so when we held all of. what i got to go at a time that just killed him i'm an immigrant and after that for 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.
9:23 am
was. it was legal or illegal or somebody's quote do not write sorry for what do you know you would serve out you know why was i wound this is the best game i think you raise a football history we love our guys you going to support them to the race over being number one it devastates i mean they didn't bury me very well look came back to where we first met you're not in her chair you know. here's their surveyor oh it was her. it's the first time croatia have ever made the last stage of a world cup an impressive feat for a small european country with
9:24 am
a population of just over four million people they'll be up against firm favorites france in sunday's final in moscow before that though third place will be decided on saturday the play off will see england take on belgium in some petersburg they met earlier in the tournament of course when belgium defeated angle and one nil and i was in the group phase just before we finished this out of them the final not just a couple of days away then fans from around the globe have been through the mill experiencing all the highs and lows of the world cup has to offer a current world champions germany was sent packing in the group stage suffering a stinging to know the fate of the hands of south korea so we're going to leave you with some german fans determined to stick it out and enjoy the rest of the tournament regardless. not so much fuss by the sludge of only the super bowl when they also show you the need. to take home the suits abbate the in the midst of. the job
9:25 am
mean obviously done things told mother this is. the season for them to do the mom on cycles and still to most basili i'm different from stem view some. people sometimes. it's not. up to the spirit of the piece kind of a new group of guys and couple days when i was given a feel for the obvious looks cool so i bought the. one that i placed. off the club side of those on the spot but. it's who doesn't stop to call me about something doesn't. let them fold muncie's up suggest lights didn't love the shop bought the side of the dish which in the book it's beautiful bye bye like. that i

secretary of state mike comparable made a surprise visit to afghanistan this week promising its government american support in anding what he referred to as a forty eight year crisis this year in deep marks the fortieth anniversary of the socialist revolution in afghanistan which further exacerbated the tensions between the soviet union and the united states but is that really a starting point for afghanistan's current troubles well to discuss that i'm now joined by fazio koofi a member of the afghan parliament and prominent women's rights activist madame ku feed so great to talk to you think you very much for your time thank you both of you now first of all let me start by getting your reactions to this latest visit by the u.s. secretary of state who not only indorsed president gunnies intention to hold talks with the taliban but actually repeated an offer for the united states to engage directly in those talks do you think that's a good idea what afghanistan is still one of the strategic partner or i mean it
9:30 am
kind of thought it. would like to stay. in afghanistan the boat in water but also in peace i think good there is a lot of confusion about the peace process in afghanistan definitely people of afghanistan who have suffered for more than forty years of water conflict would like to see a country of peace because the country is now at the peak of so many conflict security stability also the upcoming. elections to people want to see peace and security and. mediation of international community as a goal and tour a will ensure further sustainability for peace but the peace process should actually be talks between the one who are fighting in this case the government of afghanistan and the taliban and i know that you are personally very concerned that any concessions to the.
