oh you could be but. don't trump ailsa's helsinki summit with vladimir putin a success unleashing a storm of criticism from all ends of the us political spectrum and the american media. i don't know which side is the bright side of that is the groom enters a bit of a sort of feels like we're in a way 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. facebook admits classifying thousands of russians as interested in treason supposedly for advertising purposes raising concerns over who might really want to target such users. also this hour full french honors the victorious world cup team returned home to
8:01 am
a hero's welcome. that it. was. a very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at r t h q in moscow thanks for tuning in this hour. donald trump has completed his european trip which began with a nato summit and with a historic meeting with vladimir putin positive steps and real progress those are the words both leaders used to describe the talks something that caused outrage in the u.s. media. he went on to attack his own people and institutions while standing next to the russian president i don't know which side is the bride and which side
8:02 am
of it is the groom anderson but it is or sort of feels like we're at a wedding you have been watching perhaps one of the most disgraceful performances by an american president in this case when it comes to putin the president's taking a pass politicians then join the media and denouncing trump trump after the u.s. leader when the topic of election meddling came up during their press conference. president putin did you want president trump to win the election and did you direct any of your officials to help him do that why should americans and why should president trump believe your statement that russia did not intervene in the twenty sixteen election do you hold russia at all accountable for anything in particular president putin denied having anything to do with the election interference or twenty sixteen every u.s. intelligence agency has concluded that russia 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
8:03 am
working on the case come and work with their investigators with respect to the twelve people i think that's an incredible offer if there's a rebuttal but if i was an intelligence officer myself and i do know how the compiler would i can do what conclusions can only be made by a court and not by an intelligence service. and when that didn't happen to outrage his behavior is so inexplicable and so against the interests of the united states i never would have. a u.s. president would get duped by the you know former k.g.b. and. don't trump should be arrested for threes and the moment he sets food on american soil look traits in trees in a very serious words i have avoided them for nearly two years but today's trumpet
8:04 am
and summits cannot be sugarcoated with. this was the day in american president stood on foreign soil next to a murderous lying thug and refused to back his own country patriots need to stand up and reject the behavior of this president john brennan former cia boss and now media darling even went as far as to brand trump's appearance treason donald trump's press conference performance in helsinki rises to exceed the threshold of high crimes and misdemeanors it was nothing short of treasonous not only would trump's comments in this silly who's who in the pocket of putin republican patriots were you 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 suppose it conspiracy did not affect the vote count or the election so a confrontation with putin over meddling was clearly the desired result following an onslaught of attacks after the media conference trump decided to defend himself
8:05 am
in his usual manner on twitter he stressed that he has great confidence in u.s. intelligence which has repeatedly stated russia meddled in the u.s. election but trump also says he can't focus simply on the past as the two nuclear powers must get along earlier we spoke to former u.s. congressman ron paul who believes the current drama is based on the old us 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 that 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
8:06 am
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 trump is going in the right direction and talk i'm into getting rid of the sanctions on russia. has been following the much anticipated and now hotly debated summit he looks at why it turned into such a. so i just made it to the area intended for the media very close to where donald trump will be meeting lot of our group and i see this so the hosts are sitting to the straight and perhaps that's a. security precaution very soon we'll find out whether the arabs can see when they get the same direction when the presidents meet so the head to head meeting lasted
8:07 am
two times longer than originally expected and we were only allowed to film the first forty seconds of the launch the only words that we heard from mr putin donald trump actually was only trump 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 because then president bush to go to. the president is just three months that we hosted the successful football world cup i'm not going to give this to you mr president so the pool is in your court. given that the u.s. is due to host the world cup in twenty twenty six. soon it will be two years since donald trump was elected but guess what still worries the.
8:08 am
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 vladimir putin took part in a heated interview with the american channel fox news in which he was pressed on key issues relating to russia. firstly russia is a state has never meddled in the internal affairs of the us and in particular has
8:09 am
never meddled in its elections that or secondly but. what you should let me answer have some patients to distinguish between being we really think that it was possible to meddle in the us elections in the territory of russia and to influence the choice of millions of americans people yet it's ridiculous. at the prosperous mission but i'm not asking whether they influenced i'm asking whether they try i will answer now what. i got out of the hackers about whom everyone was talking about i will turn to it do not worry. emails as they told us and there was information that inside the democratic party there were manipulations 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 wanted to this fact and that was the most important thing in all of it that the manipulations of the us public opinion must be stopped and they had to apologize to the voters what now mr miller mr
8:10 am
president let me answer your set you're indicating that if you don't like miles tell me then and i will stay silent but if you want to americans to hear my opinion and have more patience they are going to be. mr miller and his colleagues. but why mr miller and his colleagues let me finish speaking of the disrespectful this time you won't stop me to delete. the relations between the u.s. and russia the hostages all of you internal political struggles. we want to be given some documents on this issue at least some material as you see no one is saying anything specific that it's like in the case of the accusations against us over the meddling in the us political process we had not been given any documents and now we see that people became the victims of the so-called but i had not even heard the names of these people before you are these people from what did
8:11 am
they suffer and why. they picked up the bottle that was used to attack scrupled i can't may i ask you one last question sir. but let us handle this issue first what bottle who picks it up and from where and what is its chemical formula. you know whether there are different reasons for which these people have suffered and maybe these reasons are inside the u.k. . but no one wants to investigate this proper legally just through empty accusations and for what sake why worsen the relations between our countries when russia wants to build them with the u.k. properly so look at it then you can work with. do you see this as a quite an effort. by the west in recent years to isolate russia. we see that these efforts do not see any success and they
8:12 am
could never have seen it given the size and the values of russia on the scale of global security and in economics and i mean the energy cost part of the world's economics the understanding of what is uniting us and on what we have to work together is leading us to the idea that it is necessary to stop the attempts to fight each other and on the contrary to unite our efforts for overcoming common difficulties and problems i think it is a good start. on that i'm cautious start. just hours after putin and trying to finish their meeting new accusations appeared 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 abortion or who recently graduated from american university in washington d.c. was arrested on sunday she is accused of developing relations with those who have influence in american politics to advance russia's interests. her attorney made
8:13 am
a statement denying she is an agent he also said the woman offered to be interviewed by the special counsel's office but they showed no interest in speaking to her we brought up the issue with political analyst. but 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 of 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
8:14 am
means absolutely not. hundreds of thousands of people packed onto the seans it is a comparison to give a hero's welcome to the victorious world cup squad winners were taken to the presidential residence where they were greeted by emmanuel mccrum. the way with the. things he said i think i was thank you both so it was she said i wasn't seeing her so i think the only thing she was sure was nice i was through growing up. i. was actually friends right she was flying over with the colors of the french the
8:15 am
only truly lucky ones these winners of the broke up she was in the front runner st in watching. team for the last month cycling 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 soon coming here is was incredibly was that your boat 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 this you know fight it's really just great to embody the spirit this is what france is all about we've been standing here all their words grow close just seeing the world will realize is there is this beautiful. to see over the years old you know you were all over were so excited he says the city of paris is actually renamed some of the metro stations you know not all of these places including are not trained to want to sean has been renamed does not
8:16 am

8:18 am
. to mark the end of the tournaments a russian mission to the united nations organized a special reception. so organized we were the first i think maybe a mistake and told denies the matches both in europe and in asia because one match was one city that but dissipated was
8:19 am
a considerable which is geographically situated in asia will be in the winners of the world cup so we are even more grateful but i think the entire world recognized and appreciated the. pretty bleak good job that russia has made all along as opposed to the games coming up in the program facebook has admitted categorizing thousands of russian users as interested in treason or why after a short break. camera. roughly once the show is so moved thank you for the. uncool videos doing. the song with the broccoli string.
8:20 am
more on string i don't really don't t.v. . so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development only. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. welcome back to the program facebook has admitted categorizing thousands of russian users as interested in treason supposedly for advertising purposes but this has led
8:21 am
to concerns over who might really want to target these users. 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 uses 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
8:22 am
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 let's 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
8:23 am
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's the meat of it when it's russians being targeted by propaganda to sow distrust in russia that's five until you get caught our team has sent a request to a number of human rights and journalist groups asking for comment as to whether such a practice constitutes meddling in a country's internal affairs human rights watch the american civil liberties union and amnesty international have responded to our request saying they are not in a position to comment. staying with facebook the social media giants target ads were also apparently used by some in the u.k. labor party to deceive their own leader that's according to a recently published book control delete how politics and the media crashed our
8:24 am
democracy by tom baldwin when they would to to pay for nationwide it's regarded as such as one in voter registration they made sure that few saw such messages accepted on his songs the first wing activists it was for them they thought it must be everyone it was and that's how it all get to. see in your labor party members tasked with spreading corbin's campaign messages through facebook ahead of the two thousand and seventeen general election selected only jeremy corbin himself and his closest aides as the target group this was to ensure that this few people as possible in the u.k. would see those messages at the same time following the party leader into thinking his order had been carried out. we spoke to former m i five intelligence officer an emotion she told us facebook is notorious for being used to sway public opinion sometimes unscrupulously. i think we have seen time and time again over the last decade facebook in different ways is allowed itself. to be used they do it to make
8:25 am
money but it's allows the spies in the west to do what they want is allows corporations to target micro adverts electrets and even in the u.k. it was announced that facebook has been manipulated with micro-targeting in trying to control and build to send within the official government opposition the labor party and jeremy corbyn has been targeted in this too so you know this goes across all sorts of countries. one of america's two major parties the democrats may be entering a new era of left leaning progressive politicians are increasingly unseating political establish better mop and takes a closer look at the trend. 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
8:26 am
a progressive named kevin dooley are now kevin de leon saw this is a political blowout this is what he said about his shocking victory we presented californians with the first real alternative to the worn out washington playbook and of course a century this fits a pattern here in new york city a twenty eight year old socialist defeated a long time representative crowley now nancy pelosi a leader of the democratic party says that progressive is gaining the upper hand is no big deal this is isolated circumstances and certain districts immediately responded to let's get yourself paraguay's now for the democrats in the race or that they're happening to. your. work aggressive. would you is a person more than palin is now deceased it is not she would be. that's something that's going to now delete on and kasi oh cortez say that they are
8:27 am
giving voice to issues that the mainstream of the democratic camp has long shied 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 the mainstream democrat carolyn maloney and new york city health care dianne feinstein was against single payer fifty two million dollars for herself in her ten years as one of the richest senators out there and yet she doesn't believe that people need health care so that's pretty plain to me that's why bernie sanders really struck a chord and have people like feinstein people like the incumbent here in the twelve sessions district gotta go carolyn maloney she voted for the iraq war ship voted for all the wall street bailouts the patriot act just like dianne feinstein voted for the picture that is little out of touch there indorsing this national security paranoia state that favors wall street and war at this point the democratic party seems to be pretty well unified around only one thing opposing donald trump however
8:28 am
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 hey look mop and r.t. new york. a canadian pacific freight train derailed in the town of st polycarp on monday night near the comeback on terrio border officials say there were no injuries the authorities haven't revealed what was being transported by the train but have confirmed that no house or this material worse spilled some twenty five wagons a quarter of the train derailed there's still no information on what caused the accident and investigation though is under way. that's a wrap up of the day's top headlines for this hour but don't forget you can always head to our website or to dot com for the day tell on all those stories and more.

what politicians do sometimes. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or some want to. have to go right to the press it's like the before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the lines about how. best to. apply to many clips over the years so i know the game and so i dived. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the families it's the age of the super money billionaire owners and spending two hundred twenty million one player. it's an experience like nothing else going to them because i want to share what i think of what i know about the
