i think. it's. because i think. a day of top level diplomacy comes to a successful and as a blossoming appear to. wrap up a historic summit hailing great progress. our relationship. has never been worse. than it is now however that changed as of about four hours ago. despite both leaders agreeing on a number of key international issues the us media already furious at the result. i don't know which side is the bride and which side of that is the groom anderson but it sort of feels like we're at a wedding you have been watching for ad for the most disgraceful performance by an american president today's press conference in helsinki was one of the most disgraceful performances by an american president in every. both at this hour the

front squat gets a hero's welcome in paris that. croatia and the football world cup final. i. had a very warm welcome you're watching on c.n.n. international with me nicky erin to our top story. the meeting of the year as some are already calling the first trumpet in summits is now over both leaders said they made positive steps and real progress. has

traveled to helsinki with putin and the new program pilled joins the trump team on this trip his their experience. i'm standing right outside the modestly looking presidential palace in the capital of finland where everything happened first two hours of a head to head tops between donald trump and a lot of our putin with only the translators allowed inside the room that was then followed by a lunch where the leaders were joined by some of the most senior officials from the two countries and i was only able to witness forty seconds of that meeting and during this tiny period of time both sides stayed silent until donald trump quickly replied to a question that was screamed out it was how are the talks going so far from said good start then came the first ever joint press conference by donald trump and

vladimir putin i asked a question myself during this media briefing where the two leaders were standing shoulder to shoulder and here's what i recorded for you just after the press conference was over and i looked into the faces of donald trump who was standing right here by the way with a bigger microphone and vladimir putin here with a smaller microphone and i saw two men who were genuinely enjoying talking together but today first of all their message to the journalists was that they want this kind of relationship to spread beyond their personal time somehow they want to put washington moscow relations back on track and it's quite clear to everyone that the bullet true relationship is that a complicated stage there is no solid reasoning for the impediments the current tense atmosphere the cold war ended some time ago our relationship has

never been worse. than it is now however that changed as of about four hours ago at this president. pallas the word we heard quite a few times was syria and on the one hand this is the area that was looking rather promising ahead of these talks but on the other hand it wasn't promising at all given the interests of israel and iran had a unique opportunity to ask the heads of russia and the us whether they could share the details for some specific arrangements for russia and the u.s. to work in syria together if any of those were made but the leaders didn't spill the beans on any of that however i got the impression that steps together could be also perhaps surprisingly donald trump even said that the armies of russia and the u.s.

could be better at cooperating then the white house and the kremlin soon it will be two years since donald trump was elected but guess what still worries the entire u.s. presidential press poll allegations of meddling and collusion there were sitting right here and almost all the questions from this part of the room were about that and it was rather fascinating to see how the two leaders almost teamed up to dodge these kind of questions during today's meeting addressed directly with president putin the issue of russian interference in our election and i have to repeat what i've said several times including in a personal contacts the russian states never has and never will interfere in internal american affairs do you hold russia at all accountable for anything in particular yes i do i hold both countries responsible i didn't know the president.

there was nobody to collude with where did you get the idea that president trump trusts me or i trust him he defends u.s. interests and i defend russia's interests president who. denied having anything to do with the election interference or twenty sixteen every u.s. intelligence agency has concluded that the russians did who do you believe have great confidence in my intelligence people but i will tell you that president putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today and he offered to have the people working on the case come and work with their investigators with respect to the twelve people i think that's an incredible of. an intelligence of some months and i do know how. to conclusions can only be made by cool and not by intelligence services however none of this seemed to convince american journalists and while i was looking at them when they were leaving the room they

seemed to be even more for straighted then before the leaders met donald trump and vladimir putin though when they were heading towards the doors i could only see smiles on their faces on monday i was working among the group of russian journalists who cover whatever a lot of who does and my colleague from america on the bill was among the so-called us presidential poll of journalists so. what did it look like from your side ilya captured it quite perfectly and making the point that you can see it just from the way the reporters during the press conference handled question time the only two questions to come from the american press gaggle had to do with collusion the fact the meeting went on and the fact that it went on long made the washington press corps that i was traveling with quite distraught if you can imagine waiting

around for the press conference i could hear many reporters from the american side making jokes about what could possibly be taking so long with the. two world leaders of two very powerful countries of course. we can imagine there'd be many things for them discussed but only crude jokes coming from the american side i heard one colleague on a major network describe the press conference that was held between trump and putin as a wedding that was on live television i don't know which side is the bride and which side of it is the groom anderson but it's there were sort of feels like we're at a wedding you have been watching perhaps one of the most disgraceful performances by an american president why is president trump putting himself in his inaugural ball high stakes in area and letting flat in their pool lead as you can imagine also in washington politicians are already coming back with very heavy handed responses to today's meeting. trump's press conference before.

high crimes and misdemeanors it was nothing short of trust and not only were trumped. he's hooley the pockets of republican patrick where are you for the president to side with putin over his own intelligence officials and blame the united states for russia's attack on our democracy is a complete disgrace this is without any sort of anything as much as a joint statement from the two presidents pledging concrete steps that either will take on issues concerning syria or otherwise none of that came from the event today the two leaders simply said they met and things went well and they hope the conversation will continue in the future well firstly a bar of a tux after the press conference trump took to twitter defending his comments he stated again he has great confidence in u.s. intelligence which has repeatedly stated russia didn't meddle in the u.s.

election but trump says he can't focus on the past as the two nuclear powers must get along. meanwhile many in the u.s. media old ready seem furious with the results of the summit and executive vice presidents of the. us and they explained why he believes they are so angry we know the media for the most part is against trump doesn't really matter what he does it doesn't matter. what agreements are made they're still going to be against him and it's unfortunate and we can thank god that they are not responsible for diplomacy even though they try to influence foreign policy significantly but. i think it's just it's the continuing antitrust saga that's going on and. and really without evidence without just. it's kind of engrained in their

in their d.n.a. perhaps d.n.a. hopefully that we can get past. or just minutes before the news conference started to protest it was dragged from the venue it's still the sign he was carrying nuclear weapons ban treaty. i. nearly end of the news conference putin presented tran with a twenty eighteen world cup ball and adding that it's now one his side a reference to the u.s. co-hosting the twenty and twenty six to one of many to do it you should be meeting with analysts who are of course looking for any telltale signs from the leaders behavior and some think handshakes speak volumes their first one came when they met in house thinking and the second happens in front of the media before the start of

talks we asked the analyst on body language experts howard feldman what we can read into it. trump is coming from a very very highly critical domestic america so he's he's good he's very aware that his whole country is looking at him and trying to interpret what is really going on between these two leaders and this with that that he enters the room and he faces faces what seems to be an opponent so you start off and he's very he's almost stretching both of them off they sit down they believe the uncomfortable they look like a divorce an apple and then they reach out for their attention now what do you see about that handshake is it is a distant handshake it is not one with the whole bodies are involved you know to start one hand on top of the other trump is very very visual with a war with of placing of his hand and he goes in very very evenly and that's how

the handshake is is. executed donald trump setting his normal donald trump position which is the his legs largely a pause. it kind of slumps quite comfortably although he didn't look comfortable if you looked at is his mouth it was a grimace to it his jaw was clear and he wasn't comfortable at all putin definitely looked like a bull comfortable. again let's look at what what's bringing them sinking is a much more comfortable place for putin realty is for trump goodness just come from a enormously successful world cup event so he is feeling a little bit more relaxed it is on his turf even though it's a very very important discussion and meeting for him and just hours after putin interim finished a meeting new accusations of russia interfering in american affairs have appeared a russian citizen was charged by the department of justice for being

a russian agent maria patino twenty nine years old was arrested on sunday she's accused of developing relations with those who have influence in american politics to advance russia's interests her attorney made a statement denying she is an agent's he also says the woman offered to be interviewed by the special counsel's office but they showed no interest in speaking to her political analyst lionel believes the media is reacting too quickly and branding bettina a spy. what you're going to hear regarding this this russian citizen that she is called a russian agent what is missed completely is that agent should be referred to as a lobbyist and agent in law in american law means a representative. when american media say agents they think secret agent.

espionage agent you know something nefarious something involving behind the scenes something illegal something that is other than an agent this particular person was charged with basically being a lobbyist and asons without having registered with the department of justice could more indictments happen absolutely will the media american media clarify what that means absolutely not the british labor party used the targeted facebook ads to trick it suddenly about his general election campaign with cup of tea towels on the news off the so right. what holds it to you so. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so you want to present. himself. to the right

person this is what. people. perceive as a. person. ari. i.

thank you welcome back to the u.k. now it's been revealed the british labor party member is responsible for facebook birds and last year's general election made leader jeremy corbyn and his closest allies see different ads from the general public auntie's party boyko picks up the story. this is all been revealed in a new book about the effect of the media on politics and the allegation is that in the run up to the general election back in twenty seventeen just over a year ago senior labor party staff members hostile to jeremy corbyn used targeted facebook ads in order to trick the labor leader into thinking that his campaigns were being rolled out nationwide online in actual fact the campaigns that jeremy corbyn wanted to push nationally but which senior officials didn't like they were being targeted just as jeremy corbyn and his closest aides take a listen to how the labor party leader jeremy corbyn was heard winked by his own

party when they were told to pay for nationwide they're regarded as madcap such as one on the water registration they made sure that few sausage messages except a tiny slice of left wing activists if it was there for them they thought it must be there for everyone it wasn't that's how targeted it's going to war well a very twenty first century sort of sabotage and clearly quite dysfunctional relationships there between a party leader and the officials meant to be executing his campaign decisions but jeremy corbin is no stranger to hostility from within his own party he's loved by plenty of labor voters but not so much by the parliamentary party here in the u.k. this contains over a centrist that are unhappy with his left wing policies and perhaps he may be unfazed by all of this he survived several coups against him labor party or had a few raised eyebrows in response to these revelations it's bizarre that anyone

would undermine plans to voter registration during a general election despite fighting with one point behind our backs by some on corporates of senior staff we achieved a lot just increase in labor's vote since nine hundred forty five. well the statement we got from the labor party also said that the so-called uncooperative starts were proven wrong anyway because the videos that emphasized jeremy called and left wing politics that were put up all in corbett his own video and website channels and on the channels of his campaign group momentum far outperformed anything that was posted up by the parliamentary labor party on its own website and video channel so according to the labor party all they have the last laugh anyway political analyst from hughes says this is just the latest display of the divisions within the party itself. but there is an ongoing kind of faith within the liberal

party it's actually a fate for the heart and the soul of the liberal party the liberal party was built on a socialist democratic platform that's platform was moved to the center on the deed to the rate by tony blair the very man who led the united kingdom into the illegal wars in iraq and when you consider what's happened there and in libya and several other countries throughout the middle east. there's new socialism and the blurring wing of the liberal party so i'm i don't think for one second that it's been a movie. or some high it's just been misadventure misadventure i think it's been a planned operation from the start to sabotage germy corben and if you remember that the labor party membership in may two thousand and fifteen was around two hundred surgeons and today it stands at five hundred fifty two thousand on the leadership of germany corben the people of britain who joined the labor party membership rank and file want to see

a socialist alternative to the new liberal policies of both the birds and tourism a. french capital has welcomed it heroes their national team crowned world cup winners on sunday evening in moscow hundreds of thousands of supporters have been out of their stance allays they accompanying the squad as they paraded to their presidential residence where they were greeted by emmanuel mccrum . of they were with the little. they seized the moment thank you thank you thank you thank you. guys who hate seeing this i think all of them think she's right it was sally i say that's right oh darling i am me who are real was

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 on the bats and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. the new global economic war is unfolding in the realm of education the right to education is being supplanted by the right to access education loans higher education is becoming just another product that can be bullish on the souls that it's not just about education anymore it's also about running a business where you could also through sheikha like could this also. kind of following for them. more is the place of students in this business model for

college i was more now i'm an extremely more higher education the new global economic war. the worst drug disaster in history would spread through more than forty six countries and produce up to twenty thousand badly deformed babies worldwide. but historians today single out one birth in one nine hundred sixty one that changed the course of history in hamburg germany linda shield hill and age twenty three gave birth to her first child her husband wasn't with her at the time and he was quiet. and then lay back and was relaxed and some i mean somebody whispered into my ear is your husband not all right but i was

here white awake and i said. what what's got what has happened to my baby is anything wrong here she said just. let's say. without any emotion oh yeah he's just got short arms and i like a child would have asked possibly i said and aren't a calling any more and she scarred grow this would be like it is now. and then i felt like i was beaten to death. a doctor gave the first time mother some friendly advice just get another child. like forget about him you know. i'm a way to get about him shortly afterwards linda's husband arrived and gave her some bad news he'd been keeping from her six weeks earlier his sister had given birth to a big. maybe with similar deformities it looks alike like there must be something

that is the same origin the same difficulty the same problem in the background and we'll find it and we'll search and we won't stop until we found. the epidemic of deformed babies began five and a half years earlier on christmas day nine hundred fifty six with the birth of the first victim. in a small town of germany a mother had taken a new drug called for little mite being developed by a local drug company can be grown into her husband like other grown and talent boys had taken home a sample which he gave to his pregnant wife the baby would be the first of six other my babies possibly more born to grin and thousand workers in the years ahead
