actually we stand we have stood shoulder to shoulder with the united states in so many different ways over the years as a result of our special relationship and we will show that even further through the trade arrangements that we will put in place in the in the future and i have to just just to finish you know if you have just a finish of i have to say i said to that paper the sun. and they seem like two very nice people but i said that theresa may is a one of them is nice but i said she's sitting here now good where is that person where did i say nice things about terrorism a place of good ok if you reported him that's good ok where one of the internet. i said very good things i thank thank you very much for saying that no i said very good things about her i didn't think they put it in but that's all right they didn't put it in the headline i wish they put that in the headline that's one of those things and she's a total professional because what i serve this when i said i want to apologize because i said such good things about you she said don't worry it's only the press

i thought that was very i thought that was very professional i might add i might add for that second i think it's called being i don't worry i've been they've been doing it to me and i do it to them i do say though the pipeline us about the pipeline to me it is a tragedy i think it's a horrific thing that's being done where you're feeding billions and billions of dollars from germany primarily and other countries but primarily from germany into the coffers of russia when we're trying to do something so that we have peace in the world i think it's a horrible thing that germany is doing i think it's a horrible mistake and as much as i like angle i was very open and saying that i think it's a horrible thing that you have a pipeline coming from russia and i believe that germany is going to be getting fifty sixty or even i've heard numbers of seventy percent of their energy coming in from russia. and how can you be working for peace and working from strength

when somebody has that kind of power of your country i don't think it's good you're not working from strength you've given up all of your strength i think it's very bad for germany very bad for the german people and i don't think it's very good for nato you want to know that it's ok. if we just just we said we would take four questions each and we've taken four questions each. just on the the pipeline issue on the north stream we've been talking to the german means about this we are talking to other countries within the european union about this and while we continue to sit around the e.u. table this will be something that we discussed at the european union table and obviously will make our views known their president thank you. for. your vision of the we have been discussing this with germany the president has made clear his concerns about what is happening angela merkel made her position clear within the european union there are discussions to be held on this issue with north stream to

and we're talking to other countries within the european union and i think the president said earlier in response to a question about future meet a meeting he was going to have that he tell you what was happening after that meeting and we will see what comes out from the european union and while we were a member of the because we still are until the twenty ninth of march two thousand and nineteen and then we're leaving. thank you very much like you. lengthy news conference we've got about forty five minutes or so of president trump and to resume a talking to reporters after their talks at checkers the prime minister's country residence there an awful lot said like a funny somber tone in their opening statements that largely focusing on what happened at the nato summit and future global security there and i guess the reason why they're probably striking a somber tone as they knew what was to come and that was reporters were bound to pick up. on what was reported in the sun newspaper in britain the smalling and an

interview donald trump gave to them after the nato summit where he appeared to criticize to resume a bricks it plans and also mention about boris johnson who now former foreign secretary making a good prime minister the way he handled that he said it was fake news that they recorded the conversation themselves he denied criticizing the prime minister and said we just need to make sure that we can trade but he did then say it's just a question of definition and that might affect what kind of future trade relationship they have and they did both pick up on the so-called special relationship and certainly try to big that up at several points during that news conference there on just about any question that came up also talks head with president putin and donald trump in helsinki next week he was asked about that a couple of times and repeated what he has not said which is that he'd like to have a good relationship with russia but he doesn't have a friendship with president putin he said he met him as he put it two and a half times but certainly in helsinki next week he said he's going to talk with president putin over ukraine syria other middle eastern issues and nuclear

proliferation which is something that seems to be. of president putin right now he did mention crimea he didn't have had pretty strong words on that but blamed barack obama his predecessor over america's response to when crimea voted to reunify with russia that's just some of the highlights of what we've heard from that press conference between donald trump and to resume a lot of people will be poring over what was said between the lines as much the words that were said right ok now while all that was taking place of course in central london the south been protests the mass rally that's been taking place and that crowd started gathering themselves in the friday summer sunshine a few hours ago now and started making their way towards the square our correspondent. is there has talked to an hour hi there what's it looking like where you are. common right here in central london. fox i mean we're squeezed in inside this crowd just for the last couple of hours

and more and more people are continuing to excuse me to come out and join this march which is certainly already in the tens of thousands of people and while of course at that press conference we did hear donald trump dismiss some of the things he said leading up to his meetings with theresa may fake news there are some signs here that say is this protest make news because of course donald trump has done a really hard good job of trying to will for the center of the british capital as these massive protests were expected to take place obviously he's also talked about the special relationship with the u.k. but some of the signs have been seeing here and talking to people they were saying the only special relationship is when himself so this is definitely a massive massive protest really maybe more people even that we originally expected to come out and of course protests started happening last night after donald trump's arrival to the u.k.

where people are saying they just don't want him here of course is a visit to the u.k. has long been surrounded by tons of controversy with discussions of parliament even about whether or not he should be allowed to come to the u.k. also now this enormous crowd of protesters is going to be marginal the way to trafalgar square and really i don't know if we can try to show you guys a little bit but these streets are all cox's really as far as the eye can see and her towards trafalgar square the crowds are absolutely massive and really most of the people here are just basically with the same message of that they don't want this president to be visiting their country and of course just to remind her you was because of some of the controversy surrounding trying to say this being just as a working message rather than a state visit and just certainly it's being accompanied. people who decided to

spend their friday night coming down to the street. ok we seem to have lost the line to making our way with all those crowds down through regent street and the two also kilometers from paul a place down to focus square where over one hundred sixty five thousand people have registered to take part in that the exact number we won't know as yet there are definitely ten thousand police around there trying to keep watch on it that's for sure that looks like regent street to me and the crowds making slow progress but let's face it if a lot of people that are going to try and squeeze down regent street in a market to get to trafalgar square and it's a summer friday afternoon i guess they'll take their time but definitely the turnout that was expected when that protest was organized quite some time ago not something that donald trump is going to see himself he's not going to central london any more he has been to the ambassador's residence nearby but of course he's up in czech at the moment which is to the north in buckinghamshire by all that

commotion in central london and head straight to tea with the queen that's his next stop on the short working visit in central london as far as the protest is concerned it's coming up to three o'clock two hours from now in london due to hold a rally in trafalgar square that's what all this protest is leading up to so it's colorful it's well turned out at this stage all very peaceful possibly a little noisy in places but we'll keep watch on it undersea is down there along with the rest of the hour to u.k. team whatever happens will be sure to bring it to you here on r.t. u.k. . and other will move on to some other news russia's foreign minister has said that in the absence of any real evidence highly likely now seems to be enough for some western governments to damn russia in a multitude of cases so he made the comments while speaking exclusive to lead to larry king in iran r.t. he also touched on this channel's difficulties abroad quarter has the details. well

the interview covered a number of hot button issues regarding russia's relation to the rest of the world and one of which was trump's recent comment at a nato summit where he said that germany was a captive of russia because of merkel's gas dealings with putin now this came after germany and a number of other european countries approved the construction of the nord stream two gas pipeline this is a pipeline that would run directly from russia into the european union now while markel denied the allegations that germany is a captive of anybody lavrov had this to say about it how did you react when the when president trump said that germany is totally controlled by russia i can only quote what the president said when he was asked by the president putin this he is his friend who said he is compared to a strong competitor but speaking of competition i've always believed in free competition because free market is about

a competition and when the united states. use the period said the north. must be stopped and those european countries whose companies would be participating in this project would be sanctioned by the united states because because the united states useful computations and russian. you supposed to be war critic american guess then you sort of but this is not because i mean this is no competition this is a duel that now shifting back to america larry king asked surrogate lavrov what he thought about the american intelligence community's conclusion that russia had meddled in the twenty six thousand presidential elections now citing lack of evidence lavrov had this to say about it the anonymous conclusion by the entire american intelligence community is that your government and influenced. the american elections in two thousand and sixteen it's

a report signed go only by three agencies so for dozens of intelligence agencies who normally would participate in anything called the union of the entire intelligence community of the united states then i saw the report of the senate intelligence committee which asserted that you know that russia has been interfering with the elections and then no single factor was produced no the investigation of these souls very poisoning is also going on without any transparent information highly likely thing and the assertion that there is no other credible explanation is becoming a rule on which would be west and friends the right to brace the borders sort of russian lover also went on to speak about artie's image internationally now r.t. america has already been registered as a foreign agency in the united states and the french government has already

announced its plans to put together a blacklist of media organizations it believes contributes to fake news now let's see what lavrov had to say about that we are concerned that our team which is not foreign to you is being labeled by for example the french government as agents of influence. and they say in french government introduced a draft law to be a problem which is intended to come by le blanc least of media outlets we just suspected of spreading fake news and they would most seriously. blick least would be a company that by combining one at the government level at the legislature level at least of media resources which would be recommended to national or. most of cyberspace is reliable sources but there's no sense the ship i don't understand

much of this life concerning this program which is on our t.v. and all the sources are to you has never interfered with this show at all never never censored us or anything so i'd gone record as saying that now of course those were only a couple of the major points but you'll be able to see the whole interview tonight on politike king on r t america. next designed to suppression builds ahead of the twenty eighteen world cup final here in russia features presidents been heaping praise on this year's tournament it is the best world cup ever. the russians the russian people a big thank you to russia sposi got to see. just to finish off this hour pundit peter schmeichel along with artie's neil harvey have been speaking to the head of european football's governing body to get his thoughts on russia twenty eighty. a

lot of fans around the world change their opinions of the country just because of the powerful power of the world cup you have first of all i would like to congratulate feet below sea russian football union and the russian federation i knew the world cup would be organized well but i'm still positively surprised and for me. it's maybe it's a joke but not completely one of the biggest achievements is that even custom is police started to smile. they don't smile anywhere in the world and they say welcome to russia so. i mean pressed and i mean press by the level of. of she's fullness i don't see any aggression i don't see any any extreme fans. walking around the distance is quite big and some of the people who are support were a bit concerned about it before and the world cup started but if it proves to be

anything manageable so it suits and nice things for us the scene for us tomorrow you'll be heading off and stand to watch belgium england the fourth place left we'll be talking about really the significance of this match it's what it's like ok against cain is that the most important thing that i made that i think this is for if you look at the sporting it is not really it's not really a march if you've been knocked out of a semifinal you want to do really as a place to go home but i have a suggestion because i know that's a debate with. a new way for if there is any kind of element in there like we have in this game between belgium and in that it's look our quickens came they want to win the cold boot i think and for this world cup it should be down there in the red square one v one ten minutes and whoever scores the most goal in that game win the golden boot and then everybody would but what do you think of that i think it's a fantastic idea but it should be you a first of all that we. so

you will both be in la to show not just us do you know that was what gave she doesn't put it with the people most of us are not all what i mean. i can make it well that's another. thing. really a local superman film he can see as you know if you buy anything. that

you know in the form of the video. almost humorous then with the baby when was the number almost nothing to do with money both of them in the film i would think you must play with a defense. if you watch the futurama or the jetsons they are travelling insight you just it's very normal world is they have forms that form concepts like that there were several in implementations there were plans in the ninety's in the sixty's. so. the polls idea there and he said he was too busy with as them to basically want someone else that they could out. to tell to imagine decades after the war a nazi domes that was still active and rich in the nineteen seventies britain

towelhead as the chair of its board and then. convicted of mass murder and slavery at auschwitz a german company developed thalidomide a drug that was promoted as completely safe even during pregnancy and it turned out to have terrible side effects what has happened to my baby is anything but all you know she said is just cut short arms minix a little mind victims i have to this day received no compensation they never apologized for the suffering that i did not only want the money i want the revenge . one else seemed wrong. but all wrong just don't. get to shape out this day become active. and engaged because of the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just

a look for common ground. this is our headline news donald trump and theresa may tell reporters that the relationship between the united states and the u.k. is stronger than ever but it comes after the american president launched an astonishing attack on the british prime minister tearing plans. meanwhile from his visit with a mass rally in central london our reporters there live in less than a minute. plus an exclusive interview with larry king on out russia's foreign minister says policy in the west concerning moscow is now based on the assumption of guilt and not solid evidence. will be a source of the original of the. breakthrough

bruce. with r.t. h.q. in moscow this friday the thirteenth of july is just turned five pm here three pm in the u.k. and that's where we're starting is where president donald trump and british prime minister to resign may have been putting on a united front in the past hour dispelling any rumors of discord over the special relationship. special relationship and we had a wonderful visit last night i think i got to know the prime minister better than at any time with really something very special there was something something very special broadest d.p.'s to most advanced security cooperation i think the prime minister made for her partnership in fact also encourages me and we're doing that or we're doing that together have a lot of respect for the prime minister long tradition of friendship collaboration the enduring relationship between our nations has never been stronger than it is

now. well as donald trump held talks with to resume a crowd were converging on london's west end from massmart against the u.s. leaders visit our correspondent an associate. i don't know if we've got the line with you again what's it like where you are there seems to be a very very busy region street. crowds. of people. trying to. get. out. ok so show that we can really get a proper line up there for us to see here but as you can see it's extremely busy in

that part of london right now so signals are probably going to be a bit of a premium to be honest but it's extremely busy down there will catch up with a little bit later on well now that donald trump had his working lunch at checkers he'll be traveling with his wife the first lady milan here to meet the queen at windsor castle and once official business is all wrapped up he'll be heading to his golf resort one of the men least in scotland to play around a little now let's bring in patrick a member of the u.k. conservative think tank the bow group welcome to r.t. so the special relationship then which has been mentioned a lot in the past twenty four forty eight hours also somewhat disparagingly given some of trump's reported remarks is it really at the highest level as president said it was half an hour ago. well it's probably us it's a good level still in terms of security however in relations on a personal level with trump in the trump is is not nor such a good level from. a lot has been

a lot better than trying to come over to the country he was guest of honor on bastille day. we had a problem state visit the president trump earlier in the last year and that didn't come about. so i would say probably not the best relationship at the moment and i. refuted some of the interview that was published by the sun newspaper this morning he called it fake news and blamed journalists for not including his praise of the reason may and the headline is just take a quick listen to that. i think we can have a listen to it do we have a bit of what he said at the press conference. doesn't sound like we do or i'll just put it to you that we did hear from a marfan hour ago he said that they recorded the conversation so he was adamant that he prays maybe do you think his brakes and criticism. was a deliberate tactic to get the upper hand before the talks well it could have been art so he got his message out of that was

a trump is quite an orthodox in how he goes about his politics he got his message out about breaks it. right which i do think he's actually all mad because i know he's sort of prone to changing his mind i think on which way. he wants a free trade deal with britain. but that looks less and less likely now considering the off the track is agreement treason may is basically states is that we're going to have regulatory alignments with the e.u. from now on so it can be very hard to have free trade deals with other countries like the united states and yeah i believe trump is progress it definitely is part of his movement really isn't it. that sort of gas trump and yeah he's loyal he's loyal to the cause out there in some of his words he didn't even seem that confident that depending on what the reason manages to wring out of the day itself whether that still means he's going to have a decent trade deal time will tell i guess but either patrick alleged from the bank thanks for that. thank you now even though donald trump and to reason may be going

to put on a show of unity there are a number of issues likely to be putting a strain on ties as more i guess the explains. america and the u.k. have a special thing going special relationship they called it language culture values defense then came trump but surely he can't ruin it right the special relationship between the u.k. and the u.s. has been strong for many years and will have opportunity to talk about a possible future trading relationship really remember barack obama when he came around they couldn't get enough of him everyone wanted to shake his hand and get a picture what a swell guy. trump

just doesn't have the charm it seems where barber was greeted with cheers and applause trump gets protests and outrage even a giant trump baby balloon and americans being told to avoid drawing attention to themselves be aware of your surroundings and exercise caution and expect to live in the vicinity of large gatherings keep a low profile. one would imagine a special relationship would be a little friendlier but what do we know who to say hip in this explosive and politically divided age of ours but why they hate ok trump did slap britain and europe with painful tariffs and steal an island minium and mrs me certainly wasn't happy about it expressed deep disappointment at the unjustified

decision of the united states to apply terrorists to steal and i'm moving in. it cannot be done by taking unilateral action against our partners then there was the whole iran mess so much effort years of work to get iran to verifiably stop pursuing nuclear weapons and then trump torpedoes it but come on you couldn't have been alone britain's always been there for the states donald trump undermined progress towards normalization of relationships with iran i have been very clear in a number of conversations with the president of the united states about the belief that the united kingdom the j.c.b. away the nuclear deal with iran should stay then there's the. maze of government and strategy are in shambles she needs friends the back and who better than the us the people voted. to break it up so i would imagine that's what they'll

do but maybe they're taking a little bit of a different route so i don't know that's what they voted for well that wasn't very helpful no trump did offer the u.k. a tariff free trade deal if it really did as the e.u. but goodness me there's very little that special in this relationship aside from how fast it's losing its specialness and on top of that trump being trump just had to rub salt in the womb i'm going to a few hot spots we have nato there we have the u.k. and then we have putin. and i said putin may be the easiest of them all you never know but i'm going to a pretty hot spot with a lot of rest lot of resignations on law and that's just. saying it's easier to talk to then allies but there you go how's that for friends it's like the

phrase goes with friends like these who needs enemies. and next up russia's foreign ministers said that in the absence of any real evidence highly likely now seems to be enough for some western governments to down russia in a multitude of cases so ok lavrov made those comments while speaking exclusively to larry king on he also touched on this channel's difficulties and brought home a quarter has the details well the interview covered a number of hot button issues regarding russia's relation to the rest of the world and one of which was trump's recent comment at a nato summit where he said that germany was a captive of russia because of merkel's gas dealings with putin now this came after germany and a number of other european countries approved the construction of the nord stream to gas pipeline this is a pipeline that would run directly from russia into the european union now while merkel denied the allegations that germany is a captive of any.
