i want the revenge. from the dreams misanthrope that's what the u.s. president says critics are suffering from after huge backlash by mainstream media and democrats for the whole thing peace summit with russian president. and investigation reveals that facebook moderators did not remove the page of a far right activists as it generated revenue from. the top u.s. commander in afghanistan walks back on his words hours after suggesting washington is willing to engage in peace talks with the taliban even though they're considered a terrorist group.
1:01 pm
this is art international bring you your live news update with me jaclyn boga welcome to the program trump derangement syndrome that's how the us president has branded those who put him under intense pressure for in his words getting along well with lot of mere putin that's after numerous democrats lashed out at him for siding with the russian leader. instead of standing up for our democracy and democratic principles president trump cowered in the presence of putin it was a betrayal of the values and interests of this country there is nothing more heartbreaking to me than a president who refuses to stand up for our democracy president sided with the enemy disgraceful performance of the president or the treacherous act he is able to confront russia and the donald trump is facing a massive backlash over his closed door talks with vladimir putin and the finnish capital helsinki critics are even demanding
1:02 pm
a hearing to establish exactly what was discussed by the leaders of the us president claims that he misspoke during the summit when saying that he saw no reason why russia what america's presidential elections should have been i don't see any reason why it wouldn't be russia. sort of a double negative so you could put that in and i think that probably clarifies things pretty divided. i have president putin he just said it's not russian i will say this i don't see any reason why it would be there's a reason there is a big national freakout happening right now over what the president just did in public what a reputed pitch to shout trump got beat up a lot of what worries me about you mr president is you seem to say only good things about your enemies was shocking it was appalling there was a real sense of defeat you have been watching perhaps for the most disgraceful performances by an american president get a chance to show loyalty to the men and women in uniform and said he betrayed them
1:03 pm
it's a disaster we discussed the issue with arbonne burra vice chair of the u.s. libertarian party national committee. we have a mainstream media and we have the military industrial complex whose goal it is to shame him in any way possible when he speaks against their agendas now he was right to challenge the military industrial complex of which the intelligence apparatus is one part one very important and very expensive part but the fact that he then turned tail and apologize just shows that he lacks the backbone for this job it's going to help if trump can actually use what he said which was right he was right to call the intelligence community and into question because of their bad intelligence we are stuck in one nonsensical quagmire after another so if he can actually take that and say you know what i retract the apology i wasn't wrong we need to put we need to put a leash on the american teligent service if he could do that that would be fantastic i don't see that happening though what i see is someone who's blustering
1:04 pm
a lot and showing any kaila lack of any kind of real backbone on this but it's not only in terms comments at the summit that are sparking uproar in the american media putin statement that he wanted trump to win the election is being hailed as a major revelation but is it really. takes a look. honestly the bad press and criticism were expected a given but surprisingly enough it was what putin's said that really. president putin did you want president trump to win the election and if you direct any of your officials to help him do that you're such a loser yes i wanted him to win because the truth will bring us russian relations back to normal you think it's a no brainer one candidate hillary says she wants to will but crush russia the other candidates trump says he wants to be friends why is this scandal us who
1:05 pm
on earth would back the person that hates them why they acting surprised that might have been the only honest moment of this news conference when the reproducer yes he did around president trumka went yeah it's still not a secret it was never a secret who can just like any other world leader preferred a certain candidate that's best for his country and no it isn't shocking because it's happened before here's what putin told us r t in two thousand and twelve about candid it barack obama it's just sort of. upon the feels i think he's the only one who really wants to change much for the better but can he really achievements with the let him you go by today's logic the bomber must have been a russian poor why else would putin support him there's no other explanation but
1:06 pm
seriously we wanted to see what people think about this like calling kalam open went out not new yorkers he's an honest man who really wants to change much for the better. that's that's what putin said about a u.s. presidential candidate what he make of that neither one of them are on it yet. actually what putin said about obama. well i know obama is very honest actually what putin said about obama. i think obama is that honest man an honest man who really wants to change much for the better that's what putin said about obama. well i mean i think anything's said about obama it's not going to be. you know hot in the media you know trump's way more talk about trump it's way more sexy in you know intriguing to the general public so i think that's probably why you know the media doesn't make big deal about that i found the media has gotten much more fractured and much more opinionated over my lifetime it's much more of a of
1:07 pm
a left and right kind of. mouthpiece that it used to be i think so what you might say back in two thousand and twelve russia wasn't the boogie man there was no alleged had no reported meddling no conspiracies yeah there was it was just cringe president obama appears determined to ingratiate himself with the kremlin this unfortunately seems to be the real meaning of his reset policy an outstanding example is the personal phone call that barack obama made to vladimir putin from and force one congratulating the russian leader on his election as russia's next president. and yet when it was trump that congratulated putin which is completely you wouldn't formal thing to do in politics they chewed him out for it for weeks president trump's national security team
1:08 pm
warned him not to congratulate lott amir putin's explicitly writing in capital letters on his briefing papers do not congratulate talking to putin right now would be like cheating on your wife and then posing for a picture with the woman you cheated with a no right he did that to lattimer putin won an election rigged to prop up a dangerous strong man who was threatening western democracy that requires a strong response so don't some call it up to say at a boy russia has made no secret of it once to be friends of course it does sanctions conflict sort of that and in the obama era on the whole that was seen as acceptable but times are different now and you get the impression that the only thing the establishment would have been satisfied with is a brutal bloody bed now called brule between the two presidents and the establishment isn't alone in bashing russia as
1:09 pm
a supposed threat to america that's what's also on the mind of tech giants like facebook twitter and google as revealed when the three tusk congress. it seemed to me you were a little bit vague about oh yes we found hundreds or whatever i'm asking specifically were any of those other countries besides russia that were using your platform in appropriately it should be a yes or no i don't have the details i know we definitely work to detect and repel it's how i know that but who are any of them foreign entities other than russia i would have to have my team follow up with you on that so you came prepared to help the democrats establish about russia but you can't point out any other country is there right. and we've put public statements ok well let me. you're not answering the question only go to. google did you detect any other countries besides russia our security team is trained to protect our services from foreign enter
1:10 pm
we're going to get to my question i my guess would be that our security team are you here to gas. reaching our security from other foreign governments as well but that information has helped confidentially even internally you're only here to just . to condemn the russians thank you how about you mr pickles are you prepared to identify any other foreign countries are just here to help the democrats play russia after seventy years of russia helping democrats make these decisions based on. very good at dodging that and refusing to answer that question. well u.s. congress may be obsessed with alleged russian meddling ordinary people seem far more concerned with other issues rather painfully close to home the latest gallup poll shows the most important problem for americans is their current government immigration takes second place racism and the economy are also a worry russia is one of the least important issues with less than a half
1:11 pm
a percent naming moscow despite the hysteria whipped up by mainstream media political cartoonist and author ted rall says it's a bit rich for washington to even bring up meddling i'm not even sure the united states is really in a position or morally to complain about any interference in that selection considering the fact that the united states medals in the foreign affairs and elections of countless other countries is a long history of doing so and even even to this point occupying several other foreign countries and has a very client state all over the world focusing just on russia at this point given the fact that this investigation has now been going on for over two years and the only quote unquote evidence that we've seen so far has been just the so-called intelligence community and their official not pieces in washington but no actual evidence has actually been presented to the american people i would say that you know this is probably i would probably be starting looking almost pretty much
1:12 pm
except russia at this point i would think that the russians would have come out by now countries and undercover probe by britain's channel four t.v. has a real that tech giant facebook doesn't always remove content even if it violates the company's guidelines or porter attended a training session on facebook content moderation. oh you know so it's amazing. to see the city of utah. undercover reporter he goes in and one of the things that he's instructed to do in his training is not to delete for example certain racist means or certain images also to do with child abuse he's also told that he shouldn't remove hate speech or anything to do with fringe groups now as the course of the documentary goes on one of the content moderators says to the undercover reporter that the
1:13 pm
reason this kind of content isn't removed is because it's so lucrative to facebook close kind of pages have huge followings that in the case of groups like bruce and of leaders like tommy robinson then that content wasn't brought down or who is tommy robinson his real name is steven yaxley lennon is the former leader of the english defense league the e.t.l. and he's currently serving a thirteen month prison sentence for live streaming about an on going trial on facebook and his sentence for content of court that's to do with cases regarding child grooming and he had been told previously by another judge that if he did this type of behavior again then he would get a custody or sentence and when he repeated this behavior the second time he was arrested and jailed facebook they've apologized for the revelations which have come
1:14 pm
out of that dispatches documentary and have vowed that they will investigate we take these mistakes incredibly seriously and are grateful to the journalists who brought them to our attention we have been investigating exactly what happened so we can prevent these issues from happening again so it would appear that far right groups like. britain for leaders like tommy robinson it's not so much what they say or what they do which is important to facebook but how much money they can make for the social media in terms of deciding what is and isn't hateful and it's interesting that it comes as off course one of the social media giants not just facebook but twitter and others they need to do more to police their site spezza. u.s. prosecutors have released court papers on the case regarding maria bush and that the russian woman detained on charges of conspiracy to act as a kremlin agent document claims that portion of appear to be in contact with moscow
1:15 pm
intelligence officials. cannot cross you of mop and kill can you give us more information on the report. well essentially a judge is in the process of deciding whether or not she will be released or whether or not she'll be detained awaiting trial and so a document was put forward by the prosecution and it contains basically three points it alleges that she appears to have ties with russian intelligence services it contains it says she is believed to have been in contact with russian intelligence operatives and from there they have a handwritten note that says quote how to respond to f.s.b. employment offer so based on that they are saying that she and other evidence they believe that she threw out her stay in the united states was working with russia's security and intelligence services now the prosecutors are charging her not with espionage and not with being involved in any kind of spying activity but rather
1:16 pm
with being an unregistered lobbyist for rather russian government they are alleging that while she was in the united states she was lobbying for the russian government and she did not register in the proper manner and was basically an undisclosed lobbyist for the russian government with her work around the issue of firearms and other issues now we have also heard from the russian foreign ministry spokesperson for the russian foreign ministry has spoken up and said that they are alarmed by the arrest and they describe the charges as groundless and politically motivated she went on to say the f.b.i. instead of dealing with its basic duties to combat climate is carrying out a plain political order so we've heard from the russian foreign ministry we've also heard from the prosecution people are waiting to see what happens next in the case but she has been arrested she was arrested on the fifteenth and she remains in the custody of federal officials in the united states artie's kim up in reporting live
1:17 pm
from new york thank you for staying across that story for us rhetoric over the alleged russian spy in the u.s. was fueled on twitter where one journalist appeared to insist that in the unvisited trump in the oval office other users pointed out the reality.
1:18 pm
more news after a short break. but whole existence to do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you're one of the first injury. or something i want to preserve. that you'd like to be first that's what the forty three in the morning can't be good for. i'm interested always in the arms of our. parents they're sitting there. anyone
1:19 pm
else chose seemed wrong. why don't we just don't call. me. yet to ship out this thing comes after. i didn't get it right equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back over six decades worth of arms exports by the us have been revealed in a new project mapping the flow to all major recipients using information from an arms transfer database well gary created a flow map of u.s.
1:20 pm
weapons across the globe spanning from one nine hundred fifty to last year it tracks a shift in recipients from europe japan and canada to more recent years in saudi arabia and australia have become top buyers of american weapons weaponry. we can now discuss this live with jonathan chafee of the new foreign policy group now welcome to the program the u.s. is the world's largest arms are exporter does this richer shed new light on how significant and widespread that influences though. well research like this is very important because so much of what goes on when it comes to the arms trade is undisclosed as no in the public domain and it's very important and in the public interest that everyone knows about what's going on when it comes to the sale of arms so this is very welcome and very important research and i certainly hope that is used to apply pressure on to not just the united states but on to the way the
1:21 pm
global system works more generally that we have to build a world order not based on the sea it was of arms and on conflict but based on a mutual sustainable peace which is based far more in the trade of things like medicine and other socially useful goods than as on weapons and how would you describe the shift in major recipients over the years that this show was. well if you look at the records in terms of us on soused two regimes which have any poor track record on human rights for example and they often are followed up with a strategic way of looking at it in terms of how they can project american power and most of the time of course am is just about finance about how much money can be made if you look at the extent to which the american economy is reliant on these arms say it was then you start to get a picture of why it's so important for us power to continue to sail arms to the
1:22 pm
scans of people that it does and to the degree that it does and of course if you think about how you address this you have to address it not only in terms of raising the degree of arms are sold to places with human rights violations but you also have to look at how you structure a new economy one that's based i don't say socially useful things and no weaponry. barack obama hammered out significant arms deals mostly exports the highest in over a decade and now trump plans to push even more weapons to nato allies and others do you think that we're only going to see maps such as this become more saturated but i think you raise a very important point that of course this has been u.s. policy for decades regardless of who the president is as you rightly point out obama was kneedeep in terms of who they have the arms and history was progressing trumps escalating even further i think the u.s.
1:23 pm
economy's more and more reliant on arms sales and as you say you have to address the fundamentals of that came to the economy if you're going to bring about a situation in which arms on the basis of the wealth of your country and the arms trade as the basis of how the system works so clearly mapping out here is very ambitious but something's got to be done because this isn't sustainable and it's not producing. common goods in the way that we need to be doing you bring up the reliance that the u.s. has on arms deals do arms imports from the u.s. also create other kinds of dependencies on washington as well in trade and finance . yes and of course these things are always linked together and what it does is compare walks towards conflict compare was towards creating and generating threats and of course we want to see far more incentives towards
1:24 pm
peace far more incentives towards bringing about a situation in which the majority of the world's population that the end of the day want to live peaceful and dignified like you said it can do so without there being this kind of global system which is sort of line on war on conflict and on the sale of arms and so we need to be looking at this and i think a broad we saw not just the sales of arms and where they're going though that's important not just the kane's of human rights violations that these arms are informing but also looking in broad terms at the caned of society in kind of economy which has caned of sales of weapons hard wired into south and chafee of the new foreign policy group thank you so much for joining us on the program this evening. the general heading the u.s. mission in afghanistan has reiterated remarks by the secretary of state on the
1:25 pm
possibility of direct talks with the taliban one day later though he said that his words have been mischaracterized by some outlets and insisted that he was not suggesting working with a terrorist organization mr pompeo said that we the united states are ready to talk to the taliban and discuss the role of international forces we hope this will help to move forward the peace process maria from ation of sixty pump is statements in which he said that the united states is ready to work with the taliban the afghan government and the afghan people towards last in peace was mischaracterized. america's war in afghanistan is seventeen years old now and appears to be in stalemate the taliban control roughly forty percent of the country and there are currently fifteen thousand u.s. troops stationed there even though donald trump promised during his two thousand and sixteen campaign to declare the war a lost cause and pull american forces out last month a three day cease fire but civilian casualties are at
1:26 pm
a record high one thousand six hundred ninety two people were killed in the first half of this year according to the u.n. that's more than any how fear appeared in the decade before and it seems that the u.s. doesn't have a clear strategy when it comes to the taliban. we have a taliban willing to come to the negotiating table this is no talking to the taliban we don't want to talk to the taliban we're going to finish what we have to finish i want to reinforce to the taliban that the only path to peace and political legitimacy for them is through a negotiated settlement the taliban trembles as a hero put there used to be picked up the taliban society the boys before the call for the taliban cannot when their choices are to reconcile live in a relevance or die the united states government is treating afghanistan like another state and they're in the country and this is not you know the first time that the you know undermined the government has lost on its own the salinity of
1:27 pm
often a song and this is again you know they are doing what you know they have been doing in the past like bombing you know over though the permission of the afghan government via bin grading houses at night they have been killing and torturing people without permission of the afghan gomen he said that they will have the technical solution of the taliban undermining afghan civilians he once you know there was a lot of criticism about this interim deal of change the a tone and he said what we didn't say we will talk to the. to the taliban but we will facilitate and we will talk about the you know the stand of the united states on the all of the united states and all troops and stuff this is not the first time deal done in the palace so they will do that again and again. that's a wrap up of the day's top headlines for this hour but i'll be back in about thirty minutes with.

the very idea of a trump to the summit was controversial from the start they met in helsinki and essentially agreed the u.s. and russia should at least each dialogue to start a process of mending a very damaged relationship much of the media in the foreign policy swamp react. with an apocalyptic meltdown has the establishment its mind. seventy four design submissions. seven thousand pilings. to join judges. and eight hundred sixty nonstop days of. the russian w.b. a champion of it. and a russian stuff. show you how and why the crimean bridge was built. witnessed the construction moving you need to transport. that will help out of
