cool video. and someone with the broccoli string. down more on string i don't really don't t.v. . donald trump is about to meet with u.s. congress members after his talks with president putin sparked outrage and the american media. i don't know which side is the bride and which side of that is the groom enters a bit of 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. facebook admits classifying thousands of russians as quote 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 returns home to a hero's welcome. a
12:01 pm
very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at our to h.q. in moscow where it's just turned seven pm thanks for joining us this hour donald trump has completed his european trip which began at a nato summit and ended in a historic meeting with vladimir putin now the u.s. president is set to meet with congress members however they may not give him the warmest welcome. my mouth is still agape i can't believe the store lists it's dangerous it's weak. to sprint. to the number one enemy we probably have on the globe let me. use you will go with. mine
12:02 pm
but. it's inexplicably. or maybe it's not it's a. very terrible outstanding question is the possibility the president. holds damaging information over president trump. we cannot cross clark to artists america just who are outraged are the us media at the moment after yesterday's summit. well the entire country which includes us politicians and the media they're all up in arms after this summit to give you an idea i have a few newspapers to show you the washington times trump sides with putin over intel to the daily news open treason trump baxter and meet putin over u.s. intel so basically in this political climate if you don't support increased escalation between the two superpowers you're automatically guilty of treason but
12:03 pm
during the press conference itself trump was boom boarded with questions about alleged russian meddling but he chose to focus on building bridges between the two countries and dodge those questions this was appreciated in anti-war circles in the u.s. but for the rest of the country not so much so how did the us media respond let's take a quick look. there's a reason there is a big national freakout happening right now over what the president just did in public what i did with putin pitched a shutout trump got beat up in a locker room what worries me about you mr president is you seem to saying only good things about your enemies was shocking it was appalled. there was a real sense of defeat and a deep breath he showed cowardice on that world stage where the president looked like a weak dumpy stooge we negotiated from a position of weakness yesterday and a lot of our putin walked away from helsinki with the when he had
12:04 pm
a chance to show loyalty to the men and women in uniform and instead he betrayed them it's a disaster. some of us politicians took to social media to denounce the summit even calling for the u.s. military to act so we're left with one question why is the us media and why are u.s. politicians so hostile to peace was have to find out how congress feels about this because we know how the rest of the country feels. artists american reporting live from washington d.c. thank you. trump defended himself from the attacks and perhaps his favorite way through twitter he stressed that he has a great confidence in u.s. intelligence which has repeatedly stated that russia meddled in the two thousand and sixteen election but trump added he can't focus on the past as the two nuclear superpowers must get along we spoke to former congressman ron paul who believes that american media is simply used to portraying russia as an enemy. you also
12:05 pm
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 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 called 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 and they want to look forward i think that is great but i would like to i think the next best step ever would be for us to reassess this and say the trial is going in the right direction and talk
12:06 pm
a man to getting rid of the sanctions on russia 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 as a state has never meddled in the internal affairs of the us and in particular has never meddled in its elections there or secondly but wait wait let me answer have some patience to distinguish between being. you really think that it was possible to meddle in the us elections from the territory of russia and to influence the choice of millions of americans. 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. the hackers about whom everyone was talking about i will turn to it do not worry. emails as they told us and there
12:07 pm
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 this fact and that was the most important thing in all 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 president let me answer. your indicate if you don't like miles we'll tell you 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 that being put to work mr miller and his colleagues. but why mr miller and his colleagues let you 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. and.
12:08 pm
they want to be given some documents on this issue at least some material as 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 process we have not been given any documents and now we see that people became the victims of the so-called novacek but i had not even heard the names of these people before you are these people from what are they suffer and why. 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. who picks it up and from where and what is its chemical. you know whether there are different reasons for which the people have suffered and maybe these reasons are inside the u.k. . but no one wants to investigate this properly just through empty accusations and what you say why worsen the relations between our countries when russia wants to
12:09 pm
build them with the u.k. properly so look at it. you'll see. quite an effort. by the west in recent years to isolate russia. we see that these efforts do not see any success and they could never have seen it given the size of the violence and russia and the scale of global security and in economics and i mean energy costs are part of the world's economic system in that 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. to start. behind the u.s. media speculation of whether donald trump is in fact a russian agent or not thought of a summit in hell think he did in fact see some impressive diplomacy one of the
12:10 pm
issues where the leaders seem to have common ground with syria and russia defense ministry says it's ready to implement any deals agreed upon. now joined in the studio by artist maria for national know what's been achieved this summer. in fact it's really hard to say what has been achieved and it's not clear what concrete steps are what exact change is in the two countries u.s. and russian military strategies and tactics in syria we can expect following these claims and the dialogue that we had yesterday and monday but what we can say for sure and what is clear is that this is certainly a positive sign for. the rhetoric between the two countries recently have been very uneasy we've even been here in russia and us accusing each other there of destabilizing the situation and even warning. that certain steps could be dangerous
12:11 pm
in certain reaction. so it's quite tense and now we hear that russia's president vladimir putin says that they too can trees coordinate in syria very well and we heard trump saying that. actually the military gets alone very well and they've even gotten along better than any political leader let's take a listen. actually have gotten along probably better than our political leaders for years but our militaries do get along very well and they do coordinate. and other places. so still yet to come and see what follows is definitely a positive and to see it i guess what's important understand is what is currently going on in syria right now well the war has been raging there for more than seven years already as you noted cetacean remain buried to the code on the ground but
12:12 pm
recently the focus has been on the region in syria border in. syria and israel the confrontation between the two countries has been very high actually always pretty much and remains today but we heard reports shortly after a meeting between mr trump and mr putin that the syrian government managed to regain control of the streets. in that part of israel. i have to say that these reports are very hard to verify this point but we can say that. the u.s. has a certain influence on israel and you can hear president trump saying that they are ready to cooperate in syria we can expect that the situation could ease. and maybe even some gains hold the syrian government on the ground.
12:13 pm
following along closely to see if any concrete actions are taken. thank you so much . we can now bring in geopolitics expert bear a manual the money. now mr filani we know that some agreements have been reached but not the details at this point do you think the deals will help syria. i think he sees a new process and ready to give putin and donald trump. if shown to have a war they want to be in charge of course we don't know yet the detailed content of what mini. but i think in the future we knew my to learn more but what is important is the winter of both uk tossed to and go. all for the or big differences and. they went to started negotiations on
12:14 pm
they put it to kind of basis and nothing would stop because the top ian ids in international relations always favor and they i do meet to be our writers they want to. identify common grounds for corporations and to try to overcome their differences and this first bill or to run a meeting or so is this sign of. a new world emerging we are in a new mirchi put our world where some dos negotiates on basis on be our national interests to try to contain a region out of crises to spiral and destabilize the or or new nations and world peace and. i think. more productive than v.
12:15 pm
enchants approach which was from the us the goal was to westernize the world to. we pose no much to at least i do g. but we've. you needed to run into protection of the west and vis the new president he said meets. exemplify. the acceptance from the us of the new mode to put our world and i think we see is also a good sign for europe because if americans are russians are writers then european territory becomes. a part of a t.r. tour of confrontation and if russians a number of towns can go over of their different seas it's good to have a stab each year of europe. along that line yesterday we heard a lot about the humanitarian crisis in the country about helping the syrian people
12:16 pm
if they do work together and the situation does improve in syria could this ease the migrant crisis in europe of course the migration crisis was. a big cure big problem for europe because of must see if. migrants coming to europe but the source of a crises east of cuba disturb it is ational we do nice we've regime changes in the region iraq war the libyan regime change and the attempt to do a regime change in syria and of course savvy decisions of his region to screw sure to stop the distribution of middle east and also to regulate mall the migration crisis. geopolitics expert here emmanuel belmont thank you so much for joining us today thank you the victorious france squad has been
12:17 pm
greeted back home by emmanuel mccrone at the presidential residence that story and more after a short break. no one else seems wrong why don't we all just don't call. yet to shape out the attic. and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy from day shouldn't let it be an arms race is also a spearing dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how
12:18 pm
that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and tom. welcome back three social media giants facebook google and twitter are facing the u.s. congress at the moment over alleged political bias on their platforms the hearing is also addressing advertising practices and fake news it comes as facebook admits that its all grow them labeled thousands of russian users as interested in treason supposedly for advertising purposes and that's raising concerns over who might really want to target these users are to gussy of explains. it's simple
12:19 pm
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 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
12:20 pm
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
12:21 pm
try 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 the distrust in russia. until you get caught or to 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 four of them including human rights watch and transparency international have responded to our requests so far saying they are not in a position to comment journalists and radio host john gaunt believes facebook's power and influence has become overwhelming. if this was americans who were being targeted there would be absolutely our age in congress and across the whole of the american media and clearly the it was looks like it was being used to spread
12:22 pm
dissenting russia and that's wrong with this also be given to governments so that governments could enforce their will against the people we already know the algorithms i asked against anybody who got a slightly right of center view we know about shadow of a shadow accounts i just think we've all been rather foolish it came along facebook and twitter facebook in particular that we gave all our information or our history all our pictures all our significant events and they have literally caught too much power and mascara on at every level whether you're living in russia america or indeed in western europe. hundreds of thousands of people packed into the champagne you say in paris to give a hero's welcome to the victorious world cup squad the winners were taken to the presidential residence where they were greeted by manual mccrum. with a win
