the room set. to lose. the. camera. roughly once they showed some new play you for them. uncool videos during the world cup and some of them with the broccoli staring at. roughly don't t.v. . headlines when donald trump ailes his helsinki summit with vladimir putin a success unleashing a storm of criticism from all ends of the political spectrum and of course the media. i don't know which side is the bride and which side of it is the groom anderson but it is sort of feels like we're at a wedding you have been watching for ad 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. facebook admits classifying russians as interested in treason supposedly for advertising purposes concerns over who might really want to target such uses. also this hour on the full french autos the victorious world cup team returns home to a hero's welcome. all

right midmorning what you say here in moscow this is r.t. international because you're top world headlines welcome to him. donald trump has completed his european trip which began with a nato summit and ended with an historic meeting with vladimir putin positive steps and real progress those are the words be both leaders used to describe the talks something that politicians and media in america might find a little disturbing particularly after the u.s. leader for putin at a media conference when the topic of election meddling came up. during today's meeting i addressed directly with president putin the issue of russian interference in our elections. and i have to repeat what i've said several times including in postal context the russian state never has and never will into 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 trust me you will i trust him he defends u.s. interests and i defend russia's interests president putin 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 i have great confidence in my intelligence people but i will tell you that president putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today 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 offer. i was an intelligence officer myself and i do know about how dossiers it compiled and conclusion can only be made by courts and not by an intelligence service when that didn't happen q outreach i don't know which side is the bride and which side of it is the groom anderson but it sort of feels like we're at

a wedding you have been watching perhaps one of 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 why is president trump putting himself in his a vulnerable high stakes scenario at and letting flat in their poor 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. with high crimes and misdemeanors it was nothing sure. he's who lead the pockets of republican petru it's where are you so what is trouble learned from the storage event never question u.s. intelligence following an onslaught of attacks off of the media conference trump 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 russia meddled in the u.s.

election but also said he called focus on the past as the two nuclear powers must get along now earlier we spoke to former u.s. congressman ron paul who believes the current drama is based on the old u.s. media habit of making russia out to be the enemy 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 it do this it's the democrats then along with some disgruntled republicans who just they just don't like trump but no i was very pleased with what went on and it's a step in the right direction they i think the biggest thing that if they ever had a serious discussion i guess it would come out on how much we've been involved when

we should be involved for instance in ukraine and how that occurred but if they don't have want to concentrate on those problem they want to look forward i think that is great but i would like to i think the next best a step ever would be for us to reassess this and say that trumps going in the right direction and talk amanda getting rid of the sanctions on russia. has been following the much anticipated debated summit it looks at why it turned into such a drama. so i just made it to the area intended for the media very close to where donald trump will meet out of our group and i see this so the hosts are sitting in the room straight and perhaps that's a. security precaution very soon we'll find out whether the arrows can be pointing in the same direction when the presidents meet so the head to head to the last two times longer than originally expected and we were only allowed to film the first

forty seconds oh watch the are going to be. mr dahl thought she was only dropped from who said that 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 into the details of possibly and the specific to rage minutes for the u.s. to work together with russia in syria if any of these kind of a rage months 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 that soon it will be two years since donald was elected but the. would still worries the. 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 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. meanwhile of a lot of me apart and took part in a heated interview with the american channel fox news and which he 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 just wait let me have some patients and they did it just finished it being we really think that it was possible to meddle in the us elections from the territory of russia and influence the choice of millions of americans it will be but it's ridiculous. at the prostitution but i'm not asking whether they influenced i'm asking whether

they tried my romance and now what. that is about whom everyone was talking about i'll return to that don't worry that they open the emails as they told us and there was information that inside the democratic party they were manipulation was in favor of one of the candidates and that is all and that the leadership of the executive body of the party resigned so they admitted this fact and that was the most important thing in all of it that the manipulation of the us public opinion must be stopped when it will 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 held 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 you know i don't know rather but why mr miller and his colleagues let me finish speaking disrespectful this time you won't stop me deeply don't make the relations between the u.s.

and russia the hostages if your internal political struggles. can we want to be given some documents on the issue at least similar tiriel because you see no one is saying anything specific 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 not a joke but i had not even heard the names of these people who were foreigners who are these people and from what did they suffer and why that of that if. 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

and 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 then 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 that i'm cautious that. just hours after putin and trump finished

their meetings suddenly new accusations appeared off of russia interfering in american affairs a russian woman was charged by the department of justice with conspiracy to act as a russian agent twenty nine year old maria bhutto you know who recently graduated from american university in washington d.c. was arrested on sunday she was accused of developing world nations with those who have influence in american politics to advance russia's interests well 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 but the special counsel's office showed no interest in speaking to her so we brought up the issue with political analyst lionel. you're going to hear regarding this this russian citizen 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 or 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. hundreds of thousands of people packed onto the shoals of these i am powerless to give our hero's welcome to the victorious won't cops squawk when those were taken to the presidential residence where they were greeted by emanuel.

was the in the. face he said i think he was thank you both so it was she said i wasn't seeing the source i think of they think she was right it was she was i was going. through. the snow was. right in shanksville going over with the cries of the french the only true lucky ones these witnesses who broke up she was in the congo. the street people will be watching the team for the last month so i think i'm praying that they would win the world cup and they have done it in other words like it's just a feeling incredible though that the energy everything seeing them coming here is was incredibly was but sure but now the feeling was

a sense of unity and everything was absolutely incredible i'm an american and i'm living here this is such a joy to see all of us you know find it's really just great to embody the spirit this is what france is all about we've been standing here all day waiting for the players just sitting there for the realizes this is beautiful. to see over the years the much older oh i'm hearing on the roof. showing so i think it is the city of paris is actually renamed some of the metro stations you know not all of these places including are not trying to understand is being renamed does not take did you show up in oh no over the manager of that will cup team of course he was also the captain up front says it will cup winning team that back in ninety ninety eight . the fact is. they are. ecstatic. and similar scenes in a way that the croatia squad as they were

a time home team was driven through the capital in an open top bus chaired by about a hundred thousand people getting to the final was the country's best of a performance at the well cup having reached the semi final back in one thousand nine hundred eighty captain look i'm old but i was also named the tournament meanwhile some young fans decided to recreate the wealth cup by. ear. really live

. live. live live .

live. we're back in just a sec. i think this catastrophe are falling in britain for the past fifteen years or so was its connection to the e.u. and the ability to have its own currency and yet passed far right into the e.u. to take those away and you have essentially greece on steroids and all those banks and the e.u. and america are going to attack the u.k. plate and drive into bankruptcy. with lawmakers manufactured in sentence to public will. when the right

wing closest to protect themselves. with the frame of larry you're a. normal middle of the room six. twenty past here in moscow facebook has admitted categorizing thousands of russian users as quote interested in treason supposedly for advertising purposes this is led to concerns over who might really want to target these users as much as the of

explains. 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 the 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 tried to use our tool to sow distrust what they did is room and we're not going to stand for it. and that is the meat of it when it's russians being targeted by propaganda distrust in russia that's five until you get caught we have sent a request to a number of human rights and journalist groups asking for comment as to whether such a practice constitutes meddling in the country's internal human rights watch the american civil liberties union and i'm just an international have responded to our request saying they are not in a position to comment. 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. investigates. 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 presented californians with the food. to the 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 rescind more decision to let that get you so carried away isn't that great for them in their history that there has been a very progressive district in new york. more progressive than jupiter is of this is more than palin is

a down home district it's not. something that's going to deliver on and the kazuo cortez say that they are giving voice to issues that the mainstream of the democratic camp has long side 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 hope here she made fifty two million dollars for herself in her ten years for the richest senator out there and yet she doesn't believe that people need health care so that's pretty pretty lame to me that's why bernie sanders really struck a chord with people like feinstein people like the incumbent here in the twelve sessions just got to go girl and maloney she voted for the iraq war ship voted for all the wall street bailouts the patriot act just like dianne feinstein. for the page that is little out of touch or indorsing this national security paranoia 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 caleb mop and artsy new york. a century has passed since the last russian a role family the romanovs were executed by their bolshevik captors nineteen seventeen is on 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 a catherine all members of the last remaining family were shot dead and burned to mark the anniversary he has launched an interactive project which brings the romanovs final years to life for the digital age.

thanks for joining us the program returns at the top of the hour.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only. exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. it's hard to imagine after the war a nazi doctor was still active rich in the nineteen seventies croteau had as the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery. a german company developed for the denied a drug that was promoted as completely safe even during pregnancy. it turned out to have terrible side effects what has happened to my baby anything. you know she said

is just. minutes a little mind victims i have to this day received no compensation and never apologized for the suffering that not only want the money i want the revenge. but the. but the link i know the way it's time for the kaiser report on most kaiser and of this is stacy herbert. well you know what in the second half we're still in the u.k. were in the united kingdom talking to neil mitchell and he's talking about the ongoing fraud wave and all that sort of stuff so i want to look at one of the consequences of neo liberalism and the bailout of banks and the quantitative

easing in the sort of economy we have engineered since the u.s. went off the gold standard i believe but you can come up with your own opinion britain's trickiest economic challenge is back in the spotlight eclipsed by breaks that ted lines and all of the exits from ministers the most puzzling economic problem facing britain is back in the limelight abysmal productivity growth has plagued the united kingdom for a decade sapping its underlying strength and undermining wage growth countless explanations and solutions have been proffered and now the debate is raging again after a proposal that fixing it he made one of bank of england's core tasks before you go on i want to show you that it's actually been way more than a decade that productivity has been collapsing it has been collapsing since about one nine hundred seventy six i put that when the u.k. received a big.
