headlining right now donald trump arrives in the u.k. for his first visit as the u.s. president is expected to trigger mass protests across the country. i don't want to . i don't have any time in respect. to scrape to america. with the schedule to meet the russian president next week he's pointed out to his nato allies that. putin is 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 is not my enemy. or across this hour facebook's labeled thousands of russian users as having an interest in treason leading to heightened fears over the dangers posed by data driven profiling.
12:01 pm
hello from in the new stephen r.t. h.q. this thursday july the twelfth at seven pm here in moscow five pm in the u.k. which is braced for a whirlwind of protest as donald trump arrives in britain for his first visit as the u.s. leader now will get the red carpet treatment from dignitaries and leaders mass public rallies are expected nationwide over the next few days trouble take in some scenery and culture the next stop tonight is going to be blood and palace the stately pall that's the birthplace of second world war leader winston churchill there the u.s. leader will have dinner with prime minister to resign may before then making the one hundred kilometer trip back to london and the u.s. ambassador's residency at winfield house after that it's down to business on friday of the p.m.'s country residence that's checkers in buckinghamshire and have talks there with the new foreign secretary jeremy hunt after that the u.s. president of the first lady will visit windsor castle and have tea. with the queen
12:02 pm
finally they'll spend the weekend in scotland they'll fly up there for a weekend at trump's golf resort central london should perhaps be avoided during this trip because some fifty thousand people are expected to stage and trump protests but to ensure the president's security of britain a massive security operation is in place he's going to be accompanied by a thousand of his own staff as well as multiple helicopters and those two limos you might have seen there called the beast now some reports put the total shared cost of this trip at around thirty million pounds reporting from london here's a nice to see a check in. this is trump's first visit to the u.k. as u.s. president and for starters it's being not being dropped branded as a state visit but rather an official working visit which might not seem like a big deal but in fact it is because it takes down the level of pomp usually associated with such affairs and of course his arrival here has seen quite a bit of controversy already with not just people protesting his visit but even m.p.'s at some point debating whether or not to allow him to visit following an
12:03 pm
online petition signed by the general public nevertheless this does not seem to faze donald trump protests there there might be protests but i believe that the people in the u.k. scotland ireland as you know have property in ireland and property all over i think that those people they like be a lot and they agree with me on immigration well though donald trump will be wined and dined by to resubmit her ministers he will meet the queen here and visit scotland and among the topics that are expected to be discussed during those meetings are russia brags the trade and the middle east and of course we have to keep in mind that this visit comes from quite a tumultuous time for theresa may herself given the chaos we have been seeing unraveling throughout this week inside her cabinet when it comes to bret's it and of course we have to mention that perhaps not coincidentally throughout this trip donald trump's schedule seems to be avoiding central london and part of that reason
12:04 pm
despite some u.s. officials saying those things are not connected are the big crowds of protesters that are in fact expected to be coming out into the streets to say no to donald trump being in the u.k. of course we also know that activists have had crowd funding campaign where they've gathered tens of thousands of pounds in cash to be able to put together a gigantic baby blue moon depicting donald trump to fly over the heart of central london for a couple of hours during his visit and of course with the resistance his visit is being met in london quite a few power. people here are not happy about that i don't want to me. you're not welcome i don't have any time no respect for him. why you coming 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 come. home like it's true why not. just like he's got money.
12:05 pm
that's the only reason 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 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. like you know. what do you think about donald trump visiting are you excited not really 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 he personally deserves the crying baby in the people. we have to remember that we don't want to pull over the moon well there you have it
12:06 pm
not a lot of people it seems that we've spoken to were quite excited to be seeing trump here but nonetheless the relationship between the you can the u.s. has of course traditionally been branded as special so we'll be watching here throughout these four days exactly if anything special comes out of this particular trip and of course we'll also be watching the protests that will be taking place the president earlier left the nato summit in brussels where he renewed calls for far more military spending by member states he also stressed that putin is not an enemy but a competitor and a 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 russia i'm representing the united states so in a sense we're competitors not a question of friend 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 him
12:07 pm
a couple of times and next to our europe correspondent peter all of a house more on one of the most intense nato summit in recent history. 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 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 that swelled germany was a captive of the russian state germany is a captive for because they supply they get rid of the car. they get it so much of the world and yes for russia i think it's something that you know has to look at i think it's very appropriate 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
12:08 pm
and other european countries import much more expensive liquid natural gas from the united states 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 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 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 they were very happy with that we had a very good relationship with america while the u.s. president seemed to be claiming to a fixed nato in a speech that really seemed far more directed towards his base his home than say any of the leaders who had been meeting with what we heard from the nato secretary general again stoltenberg was a little bit more measured i think that the fact that we had this open discussion households saw. clearly state that the two will redouble our efforts.
12:09 pm
it also shows the clear message from president. is having an impact while the happy faces if you will work on from all sides at the end of this summit doesn't gloss over the fact that this was at times a bruising and at other times hardly diplomatic meeting one in which those who had wondered what america first may mean when they seem to a found out it means they come second. i want to trickle down now it's on brooks who's an american british political philosopher and legal scholar thanks very much for joining us r.t. they were supposed to be a run of the mill strategy meeting this with trump there i guess it was never going to be that what did you take from this what did you take most from this summit. well it was very similar to a lot of donald trump's visits abroad that he might be in another country he might
12:10 pm
be outside the united states but his messaging in his aim is is to please his base back in the united states that's really the only audience he plays to or has in the back of his mind and so when he's at this kind of you know one of the mill kind of strategy meeting is as you describe it you know he's he's trying to ruffle feathers and really show that america is on a on a new course new more isolationist course more in a sense withdrawing from many things that america had been at the forefront of leading and and then sitting on easily against european partners who have come to rely on american leadership at the center but are now seeing it trying to you in a sense run away leaving a large vacuum both in terms of leadership and perhaps in terms of cash but he seems to think that all on the same page now he said and i know he's prone to
12:11 pm
changing his mind but he said that they're all in agreement on this that they've all agreed to pay up more money after what some of those leaders said while we didn't quite agree to necessarily all of what mr trump says is happening so is anyone actually come away a winner in all this donald trump or anyone else. donald trump says that the u.k. loves him and there's a seeming to be aware that one of the biggest protests in modern british history is about to happen calling for him to leave and he says an awful lot of things he did this running for president he said whatever came to his mind and whether or not it was true is neither here nor there i mean i think that no one has really come out of this a real leader you've got european leaders who are going to try to keep as warm a relationship as they can keep going until he is no longer president they can work with someone else so they're not going to want to try to make anything worse than agitate someone who with a thin skin he's easily i just hate it and trump of course will do whatever you
12:12 pm
know he'll call this a victory even if it wasn't i suspect that there were words to the effect of different countries saying they will do a bit more to reach their targets of a creator spending on defense and and do a bit more but i don't know what those words are really going to come to and i bet it was an uneasy meeting for everyone in the room and just briefly then why do you think they've rolled over to potentially agree to spend more they is because they really fidgety about next week's meeting between trump and total and if so what are they worried about. well they're already agreed that in the next two years that they have a clear target for g.d.p. spending on defense and the one of the issues that trump is racy things that many countries like germany he singled out in the report have not been doing enough and so he's made that point is not the only one making that point but he wanted to push that along agreement they've already got but sure i bet there is some nervousness about what he's saying about who would eat for all he says he doesn't have much
12:13 pm
connection and doesn't really know every everyone involved around we all know in watching the mueller investigation lots of people around him do have connections with people around and there's a lot of concern back in that it states and abroad about what that relationship is and where it is going to ok for now tom brooks a total middle school thanks very much for your thoughts on that nato summit in brussels. it's been revealed that facebook has labeled sixty five thousand russian members as having an interest in treason to fear the creating profiles of people could leave them vulnerable to a range of threats both on and offline as well i guess they have explained. 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
12:14 pm
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 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 for advertisers of course. but the gambling offers no similar protections for information about those
12:15 pm
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 of 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 in danger in people's lives and prisoners could be kept behind bars indefinitely even if they're never charged the details on that for you after the break.
12:16 pm
you know world big partisan. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy for and let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development only. exists
12:17 pm
i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. prisoners could be kept locked up without charge and definitely according to a u.s. justice department official that comment came during a rare legal case in which eleven inmates in the u.s. to tension center in cuba had their appeals for trial or release by a court in washington the officials 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 and in the war on terror now the men have been
12:18 pm
held at the notorious military prison some for as long as fifteen years without ever being charged with a crime and their lawyers are demanding that the inmates are either tried or released or the eleven men themselves were not allowed to listen in to 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 describe the conditions of imprisonment of guantanamo bay is unconstitutional and against international more among the group appealing for release is a tough week he's a yemeni citizen and he's been detained in guantanamo bay since two thousand and three on suspicion of being a member of al qaeda he's never been charged in fact he was previously cleared by the u.s. authorities and granted release papers on three occasions each time though it was cancelled at the last minute and here's what another detainee had to say about their situation and they still have feet 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
12:19 pm
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 and despite efforts from the previous administration to try and shut it down donald trump has signed an executive order to keep the camp open indefinitely forty people are still incarcerated there here's how another former guantanamo prisoners described the torment 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 been 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 a little bit during the. war on torture but what's happening now is that one tunnel
12:20 pm
is as american high and i think most people recognize this whether it's bush or obama or donald trump all have allowed one tunnel to exist and continue under the presidency. for a lot of the world come now in croatia have made it to their first ever final after beating england two one in extra time it's an impressive feat for a small european country with a population of just over four million people they'll be up against favorites france in sunday's final in moscow one coaches had plenty of success in finals over the years to say marino has given us his predictions for the game. no i think it is a moment france having a nice drink in in. the bar not celebrating their victory but celebrating that extra time. and celebrating twenty four hours
12:21 pm
more than tourist seeing is very very unfair. i know all. the broadcasters are the ones that that put the millions on the on the table but by seeing for a world cup final icing both teams should play the semifinal in the same the bring the it's the is england going one hour or two hours early bring the france against belgium two hours later. it happened during the competition even three matches in one day so why not two matches in one day and give both teams and all the players the same possibilities france is not celebrating at all. the world cup victory but they can celebrate twenty four hours more to rest these moment after six matches it's very very important and they can also serve brits three minutes or
12:22 pm
so to minutes extra which for them. extra times extra times ninety minutes ninety minutes these one more match. we see in the world cup at 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 if you 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 motions around it i want to do it also by my experience point of view discount 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
12:23 pm
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 to play one match per month during two years. is not for me at least now but one day we will be because i really want to. to cool i want to do a little. before sunday's show piece anglin will play belgium in the third place playoff that's going to be in some petersburg on saturday they of course met earlier in the tournament when belgium defeated england one nil in the group phase now just before we finish this hour over the past month fans from around the globe have been through the mill experiencing all the highs and lows that the world cups had to offer a current champions germany was sent packing in the group stage suffering
12:24 pm
a stinging to no defeat at 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 about the structure of the legal suit when they also show you the world need. for the moment the suits abbate the in the midst of. the job mean obviously done things some tall mothers of. the sons are in the to do the mom on the side doesn't feel to most closely and we differ from stem view some of the reasons. it's not looked. up to the history of the british kind of a new group of guys and couple days when i was given
12:25 pm
a feel for the obvious looks cool so i bought the. one that a choice of. off the clock cycle does on the spa but. it's doesn't stop tickle me about some of those. less than full months each cups of dust mites do in longish run off the side of the dish which in the book it's beautiful by by it's a couple. of 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.
12:26 pm
all the security back on asms and agencies and the ease saying we don't want to be part of britain anymore he got caught helping stopping out aviation companies we mentioned banks stopping out everyone wants to get out because if they don't have the supernatural all the institutions that cover the he is going to be part of that and he's going to be a separate go it alone island under a large grain cloud swimming in marmite washing paying some old hag of a crown those people in france germany and italy and the rest are saying no we don't want to be a part of the. seventy four design suppressions. seven thousand islands.

12:28 pm
unfortunately due to. you know physical structures were kind of broken but most associated our social values were. not on the this is the one conflict down there star structures and trust deckchairs but unfortunately our values still. greetings and salutation. there once was a magical time here in the united states when engaging in civil discourse you know
12:29 pm
partaking in lightning 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 instant times of neo liberal fear mongers click bait candidates and wall streets filled with vampire squids and of course m.s.n. 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 the sense that russia is now an enemy on par with. 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
