for this hour here on. the hail. storm of criticism from all of the political spectrum and media. i don't know which side is the bride and which side of that is the groom. you have been watching for the most disgraceful performances by an american president today's press conference in helsinki was one of the most disgraceful performances by an american president in memory. interested in. fact of the laying the russians on the happy with the government open to foreign propaganda. the death toll in one of the. history rises

with elections looming we speak exclusively to one of the prime ministerial candidates. and then. on tuesday morning here in moscow this is international big news let's get into it . donald trump has now completed his european trip which began with a nato summit and ended with an historic meeting with vladimir putin positive steps and real progress so those are the words both leaders used to describe the talks something that might find a little disturbing. reports. well 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 ollie the translators allowed inside the room this is really a special time for helsinki the city is living at the moment obviously the finnish capital is no stranger to hosting these kind of summits between russian or soviet leaders and american presidents so i've seen posters all around the city dollars on sale t. shirts about the historic meeting and one local brewery even came up with two new beer types one is for mr trump and one is for mr putin the hosts finland have even set up two sourness and the media center so i just made it to the area intended for the media very close to where donald trump would meet each lattimer. you see this so the hosts are sitting to the straight and

perhaps that's the security precaution very soon we'll find out whether the arabs can see when they get the same direction when the president speaks so that the last two times longer than originally expected and we were only allowed to film the first forty seconds of the launch the only other use to be. mr. actually was only done trump who said there was a good start to the summit there's something else i pointed out for myself the microphones for both theaters are different for some reason the one for donald trump looks to be much bigger and a bit more complicated. first a question for mr trump in english mr president. would you please. go in to the details of possibly and the specific the rage minutes for the u.s.

to work together with russia in syria if any of these kind of arrangements were made today or discussed one little thing i might add to that is the helping of people helping the people because you have such horrible. if you see and i've seen reports and i've seen pictures i've seen just about everything and if we can do something to help the people of syria get back into some form of shelter and on a humanitarian basis and that's what the word was really a humanitarian basis i think that both of us would be very interested in doing that and we are we will do the tune it will be two years since donald trump was elected but guess what still worries the. us presidential 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 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. following an onslaught of attacks off of the media conference decided to defend himself in the usual way via twitter he stressed that he has great confidence in u.s. intelligence which has repeatedly stated to russia meddled in the u.s. election but trouble also so he can focus on the past as the two nuclear powers must get along it's something that not everyone buys back at home american explains

. the meeting was doomed before it began from the start the very idea of trouble meeting putin was denounced by democrats and republicans alike if president trump is not prepared to hold putin accountable this summit in helsinki should not move forward do g.'s criminal charges provide hard evidence that russian intel agents attacked america to boost their favorite candidates undermine others and influence our elections real donald trump cancel your ridiculous put in summit and get your bottom a plane back to the united states not only does the department of justice fail to provide any conclusive evidence linking the kremlin to the alleged crime it actually admits that the supposed conspiracy did not affect the vote count or the election so a confrontation with putin over meddling was clearly the desired result during today's meeting i address 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 postal context russian state 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 what did you get the idea the president from trust me you will i trust him he defends u.s. interests and i defend russia's interests when that didn't happen q outreach i don't know where side is the bride and which side of the groom manners are but it sort of feels like we're at a wedding you have been watching perhaps for the most disgraceful performances by an american president why is president trump putting himself in this vulnerable high stakes in area and letting flat in the airport lead john brennan former cia boss and now media darling even went as far as to brand trump's appearance treason . don't trump press conference before. the threshold of high

crimes and misdemeanors it was nothing short of treason it's not only what from school. he's who lean the pockets of republican better it's where are you so what is trouble learned from the storage of that number one never question u.s. intelligence but you also mentioned so far in this program about the american media and that is a big problem because for some reason they're almost unanimously endorsing the idea that we have to have an enemy and at this point especially for the last twenty years they've been working very hard to make russia the enemy and i think this is this is wrong and it's not the democrats alone that do this it's the democrats and along with some disgruntled republicans who just they just don't like trump the next best day ever would be for us to reassess this and say that trump's going in the right direction and talk amanda getting rid of the sanctions on russia you know

while of lot of my potent took part in a heated interview with the american channel fox news and what she was pressed on key issues relating to russia. firstly russia is the state has never meddled in the internal affairs of the us and in particular has never meddled in its elections secondly but wait wait let me have some patients in to be distinguished because we really think that it was possible to meddle in the u.s. elections from the territory of russia and save through is the choice of millions of americans it will be it but it's ridiculous. at the post but i'm not asking whether they influenced i'm asking whether they tried my romance and now what year that is about whom everyone was talking about i'll return to that don't worry to it they open emails as they told us and there was information that

inside the democratic party they were manipulations in favor of one of the candidates and that is all good and that the leadership of the executive body of the party resigned so they admitted this fact and that was the most important thing but in a little of it that the manipulation of the us public opinion must be stopped when you and they have to apologize to the voters what now mr miller has been better mr president let me answer. your set you're indicating that if you don't like my own six help me and then i will stay silent but if you want americans to hear my opinion and have more patient was going to be that being what you were mr miller and his colleagues it was not good i don't know but why mr miller and his colleagues let me finish speaking disrespectful this time you won't stop me that we have to delete don't make the relations between the u.s. and russia the hostages if your internal political struggles. and we want to be given some documents on the issue at least similar tiriel because

you see no one is saying anything specific because it's like in the case of the accusations against us over the meddling in the us political processes or we had not been given any documents should watch it and now we see that two more people became the victims of this so-called novacek i had not even heard the names of these people before things who are these people and from what they suffered enjoy it a bit but. they picked up the bottle that was used to attacks cripple i can't may i ask you one last question sir. but let us handle this issue first bottle who picked it up where from and what is its chemical formula. you know whether there are different reasons for which these people have suffered when maybe these reasons are inside the u.k. . but no one wants to investigate this properly they just threw empty accusations in for what sake why worsen the relations between our countries when russia wants to build them with the u.k.

properly then you can work with that because. you'll see this as a turning point ten and by effort of the effort by the west in recent years to isolate russia. you see that these efforts do not see any success and they could never have seen it given the size and the value of russia on the scale of global security and in economics and i mean the energy cost part of the world's economics on. the understanding of what is uniting us and what we have to work together and it is leading us to the idea that it's necessary to stop the attempts to fight each other and on the country to unite our efforts for overcoming common difficulties and problems i think it is a good start on the democratic system and i just hours after putin and trying to finish their meeting in new accusations appeared of russia interfering in american affairs a russian woman who was charged by the department of justice with conspiracy to act

as a russian agent twenty nine year old maria bhutto who recently graduated from the american university in washington d.c. 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 he also said the woman offered to be interviewed by the special counsel's office abut the special counsel's office showed no interest in talking to her political analyst lionel explains why agent doesn't automatically mean spy. what you're going to hear regarding this this russian citizen is 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 agent they think secret

agent. i speak in eyes 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. facebook has categorized thousands of russian users as quote interested in treason and this is led to concerns of these users could become targets of foreign influence and what i've got to experience. it's simple facebook exists to serve advertisers not users not you and i said a rerun of its. advertisers pay money

they want direct access to the right users the target audience you might fall into the interested in islam category or interested in homosexuality group it depends on the things you click on line which facebook tracks and then advertisers or governments can tag you but one of those categories was treason interested in treason officially russian people who facebook deemed as anti government to be russian and facebook confirmed it to us treason was included as a category given its historical significance given it is an illegal activity we have removed it as an interest category that is their official statement they added that the key word was hardly ever used by advertisers which means that it was used

there were people out there searching for treason inclined russians and serving them with presumably propaganda encouraging them to commit treason against russia months it was found out facebook removed the category but the pundits managed to twist even vat this isn't about sixty five thousand russians being targeted with foreign propaganda meddling in internal russian politics that an see they say the real controversy is that these people could be targeted by russian authorities imagine if ace book categorize americans as potential traitors fact advertisers that blog zuckerberg op have expressed how upset i am that the russians try to use our tool to sow distrust what they did is room and we're not going to stand for it. and now that's the meat of it when it's russians being targeted by

propaganda distrust in russia abs five until you get caught r.t. you request to a number of human rights activist groups asking for comment as to whether such a practice constitutes meddling in a country's internal affairs i also spoke to former my five intelligence officer and irrational and she told us facebook is a treasure trove for intelligence services i've been saying for at least a decade that facebook is effectively the spice fantasy because we offer up all our personal information for free and it's all sorts of information that intelligence officers like i was in the one nine hundred ninety s. would have a team working on to build up over weeks or days so facebook in itself i see is not a force for good then we have the fact that it. is signed up to the prism program which is one of the very first disclosures made by the n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden and we know that facebook does cooperate with the

state intelligence agencies in the west and it corporates with the corporate corporate world in the west as well to monetize and to utilize the information that we offer up to it they are now claiming that the sixty five thousand accounts have an interest in something called treason and it strikes me that this might well be another form of political meddling you know it's it's not the intelligence agencies necessarily it's not the corporates necessarily but it could just be a way of stirring up suspicion and discontent within russia. the death toll in one of the worst terror types in pakistan's history has risen to almost one hundred fifty it's created tension over the country's upcoming general elections here is a recap of the tragic events. you. know we didn't know he.

was. ahead of the july twenty fifth elections pakistan has not only seen violence but also political controversy a former prime minister now was shot if it was withdrawn from office over a corruption probe he's going to spend ten years in prison and was fined ten million us dollars a politician is trying to appeal the sentence. well now his party the pakistan muslim league is being led by his younger brother shahbaz sharif their main rival is cricket a politician imran khan he represents the center right pakistan movement for justice and we spoke to him on khan who told us that pakistan should build new ties

with america. we need peace stability we need good relations and we certainly do need good relationship with the u.s. u.s. is a superpower cannot be ignored unfortunately our relationship has been very one sided in the past the relationship has been whether you were us as used pakistan as a hired gun so we are paid to do their work you know to to fight their war this has cost biased on over one hundred billion dollars loss to the economy over seventy thousand people have died they are still dying today terrorism is still a lot. been been overcome so what we want is a relationship with the u.s. which is mutually benefit beneficial to both.

the u.s. has looked upon pakistan as an ally at one point and then as an enemy had the same time so it's the only time in history i can recall where and i keeps bombing you the same it's a sad night i mean the drawings will bombing killing pakistani pakistani people causing collateral damage and pakistan territory it's never happened i don't know of any situation like that which is happened before and that's why the anti americanism rules in pakistan are still to come here on the program french fans get a hero's welcome to the national side often by world cup victory that story and much more. played for many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball 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 money. and spending so you didn't twenty million. it's an experience like nothing else on it because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game great so well. and thinks it's going to.

good to have you with us today one of america's two major parties the democrats may be entering a new era as left leaning progressive politicians are increasingly unseating political establishment veterans correspondent takes a closer look. diane feinstein has long been a top boss among the democratic party but recently the california democratic party decided not to throw its weight behind her but instead to give its endorsement to a progressive named kevin delay on now kevin de leon saw this as a political blowout this is what he said about his shocking victory we've presented californians with the foot. to the worn out washington playbook and a quarter century this fits a pattern here in new york city a twenty eight year old socialist defeated longtime representative crowley now nancy pelosi a leader of the democratic party says that progressives gaining the upper hand is

no big deal this is isolated circumstances in certain districts they need to respond more to shoot so let's not get yourself carried away the next. in the register that that in a very progressive district in new york. more progressive than would you care is a more. family is a down home district it's not. something that's going to now deliver on and the kazuo cortez say that they are giving voice to issues that the mainstream of the democratic camp is longside away from they want free health care and education for all americans they also want to abolish the immigration police for good now we decided to talk to sander hicks' a progressive who's running against mainstream democrat carol maloney in new york city people need health care dianne feinstein was against single payer she made fifty two million dollars for herself in her tenure she's one of the richest

senators out there and yet she doesn't believe that people health care so that's pretty pretty lame to me that's why bernie sanders was struck a chord and if people like feinstein people like the incumbent here in the twelfth congressional district gotta go carolyn maloney she voted for the iraq war sure good for all the wall street bailouts the patriot act just like dianne finds. voted for the patriot little touch there endorsing this national security karen o. a state that favors wall street at this point the democratic party seems to be pretty well unified around only one thing opposing donald trump however among the rank and file there are some pretty clear disagreements about policy and it's pretty clear that in either party to be seen as a defender of the status quo just doesn't cut it with voters kayleigh pop and r. c. new york. a century has passed since the last russian roll family the romanovs were executed by the bolshevik captors and nine hundred seventeen tsar nicholas was

forced to give up his throne as the february revolution broke out on the streets of the royal family was detained and moved to you catherine all members of the last remaining family were shot dead and to mark the anniversary he has launched an interactive project which brings the romanovs final years to life for this digital age.
