donald trump once again flip flops on russia's alleged meddling in the twenty six thousand presidential election branding it through in a television interview. russian battle than yours i would say that that is true the . ill informed and wild speculation britain security minister dismisses media reports that police have identified the perpetrators of the script poisoning attack . so the man you micron is under pressure after his aide is called beating a protester to the ground.

good evening great to have your company watching r.t. international. seems the further donald trump is getting from his helsinki summit putin the more he's flip flopping of retaliation suppression meddling have president putin he just said it's not russian i will say this i don't see any reason why it would be. should have been i don't see any reason why it wouldn't be russia. sort of a double negative. you agree with u.s. intelligence that. russia meddled in the election twenty sixteen i would say that that is true but you haven't proven specifically do you hold him personally responsible while i would because he's in charge of the country. get updates now from our correspondent in new york that's. good to speak to you what a strong had to say of late. well the latest tweet from donald

trump seems to indicate that he thinks the meeting went very well he describes the meeting is going well and he goes on from there to say that he looks forward to a second meeting with the russian president now but as people who are familiar with trump you know things have changed right we heard donald trump saying what he said on c.b.s. and then more recently we heard donald trump seeming to say that and basically admitting that russia had not been targeting the united states only to get contradicted by the state department let's take a listen. is russia still targeting the president. you know. i talked to the president he wasn't answering that question he was saying no he's not taking questions now in the aftermath of donald trump's meeting with the russian president in helsinki there has been quite a bit of hysteria in u.s. media you can take a look at the cover of time magazine or the new yorker there's been

a lot of outcry and accusations of treason from donald trump's opponents the democratic party has been harshly critical of donald trump for meeting with the russian president now on monday we heard from russia's president vladimir putin and he talked about essential people for speeding narratives about the meeting that took place in helsinki to serve their own political ends this is russia's president . in the u.s. ready to easily force russia u.s. relations with a political ambitions. of people is pathetic but these people who are on the. true they're pretty powerful if they can fool. stories to millions of the citizens and they can. now at this point we're hearing calls from the u.s. congress for the translator who is in the room privately with the two world leaders

to be called before congress to testify about what exactly was said in this meeting and at this point we're hearing you know lots of outcry and hysteria from trump's opponents meanwhile people are looking at their t.v. screens and wondering what exactly trump is going to say next about russia as there seems to be a rather inconsistent statement about what he thinks went on at the meeting and what his position actually is ok many things are correspondent in new york that other skated more pin and i can tell you that we have more on what donald trump is had to say because news just in is that the white house is announced donald trump has invited putin to washington this autumn. bring in a guest now don glazebrook independent political analyst joins me on the line very good of you to. donald trump it seems you can't make his mind up about what he

thinks about russia and whether russia meddled in the u.s. presidential elections why the inconsistency what he says. well this is part of his his his schtick isn't it this is the madman strategy keep everyone on their toes keep everyone guessing don't let anyone feel too secure in your backing this is this is part of how he how he operates and of course if you're dealing with someone like trump who semantic ability doesn't even stretch to knowing the difference between would and wouldn't then of course what else can people do but keep guessing as to what your nonsensical statements actually mean but if we go beyond those statements to look at his actions actually there reveals revealed a pretty consistent policy towards towards russia which is that he wants to enlist putin in his economic war against china and iran is been pretty consistent about this and the way he's trying to do this is obviously ramping up aggression against iran ramping it up against china but meanwhile constantly flattering russia and putin and unfortunately it does seem to be paying dividends in that russia and

saudi arabia's recent oil deal seems to have actually facilitated transfer legal sanctions on iran by actually stepping up to very kindly of them to do to fill the shortfall in oil supply which the russia saudi deal didn't completely self-defeating for though in their terms they've actually offered to increase oil production by one million barrels a day which is unable to facilitate a tramp so all this talk about you know dancing to putin's chuen is completely getting the cart before the horse is it's nonsense really what we see is actually quite embarrassingly putin playing into trance hands at no benefit to himself you know sanctions on russia have escalated on the trump of the attacks u.s. direct attacks on russia's ally in syria and israeli attacks on iran have escalated on the tramp so poaches not getting anything out of this collaboration with economic war against iran and china trying seems to be getting that all for free

just in exchange for a bit of flattery and the u.s. ruling class are actually also facilitating trump and. the media and so on with their constant attacks on him which actually feed into his completely again disingenuous and stablish mint persona which is again nothing but a pack of lies so there is consistency here actually but it's very unfortunate for the for the rest of the world this policy because it's driving a wedge between russia and china driving a wedge between russia and iran and to the mutual detriment of russia iran and china. let's discuss if we may that the reports that have just come in the white house has announced that donald trump invited to dinner putin to visit washington this autumn. we don't know whether it will be accepted the invitation what do you think of the fact that it was offered and what it could mean if you have been was to go to washington one can only imagine the scenes on the streets. yeah well it's

just it's just more evidence of this as i say russia's unfortunate willingness to collaborate with the trump agenda of escalation against all russia's allies and i think it's a very unfortunate trajectory that russia seems seems to be on at the moment the global times actually the chinese state run newspaper made a very timely warning to the russian leadership which is that it's very difficult for any non-western nation to ever be accepted by the u.s. and if they think there's going to be something in it for them russia that is in the long term then they're very profoundly mistaken once china and iran have been knocked out economically which is unlikely to happen i think but that's obviously trumped aim then russia is not there's going to be even less safe and even more isolated than before if putin thinks that some kind of spheres of influence arrangement between himself and trump is ever going to be respected on any long term basis is profoundly mistaken and any look at. the history of russian and u.s.

relations reveals that very clearly every time russia reaches out to the u.s. it's met with initially open arms by its very disingenuous and ends up paying the price if you look at the reset with obama that medvedev. you know kind of went along with it went along with and didn't veto the attack on libya basically allowed that to happen and they were met with you know a fascist who in ukraine on their border they were met with increased sanctions there's never any thanks from the u.s. for russian collaboration just look at gorbachev he opened up his whole economy russian economy to looting by the u.s. and what thanks did he get nato right on the former soviet territories so there's no reason to think that putin's collaboration is going to be repaid any differently from gorbachev or medvedev. and on a slightly different issue you know done the u.s. senate in a unanimous lead up to a resolution that called for the protection of u.s.

officials. protecting them from foreign interrogation what do you think of that. and i'm not aware of this i'm sorry i'm not really able to comment on this i haven't heard of before my apologies and we're in the dark so i'll move on to something slightly different than an offer made the u.s. president refused moscow's offer to question u.s. citizens in exchange for u.s. interrogation of twelve russians who were accused of interfering in the twenty six thousand election so it looked like some kind of all the branch. opportunity for both sides the game more information. why would that not be accepted. well remember trump you know trump as the recent flip flopping as demonstrated trump's got to reconcile he's got these various factions has in the words of this flip flopping is all about as well as try to got to appease the republican establishment if you want to call it that back at home at the same time as he is

trying his best to as i say. pull putin and russia into his. china strategy it's a difficult. balancing act that he's involved with but but there's this kind of you know really hot and cold war is russia all the time is absolutely part of that and i think this example that you've just just mentioned is another part of that he's got to try and appease his own. neo con republican establishment at the same time as he's following this kind of kissinger ask policy of driving a wedge between russia and china so is that he's got appeal to many different crowds if you like don't appreciate your time but my guest independent political. thanks very much you know. you can security minister islam to media reports the police have identified those behind the poisoning of the scruples as being ill informed wild speculation the date the press association news agency citing their

source close to the probe then the perpetrators had been found and it set the media but police investigating this particular incident back in march believe that they do have the identity of two suspects press association says police believe they have identified those who carried out the novacek itzhak in salzburg police in britain are reported to have identified several people they believe were behind the nerve agent attack on the former russian spy sergei schiphol and his daughter yulia media frenzy was sparked by just one tweet from the news agency cited a source claiming that u.k. police have identified the suspects behind the script. explains. a source with knowledge of the probe told press association investigators believe they have a dental fide the suspected perpetrators behind the novacek attack on the script files. well this is all allegedly come from a source close to the police investigation into the original attack against the

script prowls back in march and this source has spoken to the press association they're the ones reporting it and they've said that investigators are apparently closing in on the suspected perpetrators of the attack and the police have allegedly been looking at c.c.t.v. footage and they've been examining it and also looking at records of people who had ended and left the country around the time of the attack against the script piles in march because the bomb shell really in all these reports that is that these suspects are allegedly russian it is important to note that these are unconfirmed reports as yet so far it's just come from this one article by the press association but it's done the rounds and it's pretty big headline news here in the u.k. even though we haven't had any updates from the police or the oath or a tease in regards to the investigation that hasn't stopped the press speculation

though just to give you an example the sun newspaper has elaborated on the story saying that scotland yard apparently believes that it was a two man hit team that carried out the attack on the script files and that they did it on the orders of the kremlin and furthermore that the pair are thought to have left the u.k. for russia the morning after the attack and to quote the newspaper thought to be under the protection of president vladimir putin so that's the source of reports that are in the press here right now. has consistently denied any claims of wrongdoing even though the british government pointed the finger squarely at the kremlin in the days after the attack saying that it's highly unlikely that russia or did the poisoning and now following these new unconfirmed reports the russian ambassador to the u.k. alexander yack event. has already responded take a lesson. no we see only leaks to british media and official

statements from the interior ministry or scotland yard are absent nobody in this world has official information concerning what exactly happened in the u.k. . and in a way there you can see the russian diplomat really upping the ante saying well go on then give us these names if you're going to make these allegations we want to see evidence of it and we've just got a line from the russian foreign ministry as well they've said that if the u.k. keeps these alleged russian suspects classified if this case becomes secret well then moscow will regard it as a cover up of the perpetrators so there's clearly a sense of increasing frustration here i would say from the russian side that the british media can sort of go on making these allegations almost indefinitely without a shred of evidence from the or thora season without any official statements from

the police investigation to back it up. and the president of the new micron is under pressure after a top aide was called beating up a student protester incident took place at an anti government rally in may and was captured on camera by an activist. that. was. all shocked and very angry i would never have believed it wasn't a policeman and now anyone can wear a uniform interrogate me that want these tensions between police and citizens and it raises the question over the legitimacy of law enforcement is the most one. the thing is we know michael has been aware of this book two and a half months from the very start so we see him tend to cover this up. meanwhile

a french police union is far the lawsuit to find out how micron's aid was able to work police equipment in the incident the presidential candidate john also says his party is putting forward a parliamentary vote of no confidence in the government. as more details on how the scandal is engulfing michael well a shocking video that shocked many people in france what you see on the video is alexander her first of all he is grabbing a woman and charging her down a street he passes the camera that still mean him and then a little bit later we see him once again this time he emerges next to a male protester and what is clearly seen is him wrapping up male protesters neck hitting him on the head and then he appears to be stomping him on the stomach as he falls to the ground why was he well he danced his forces his work release

a palace he could see the c.r.'s the riot police during the may day protests to see how operations carried out in regards to syria security that he wasn't on a working day he was on a day off and he was. taking part in the police action against the protesters and that itself has sparked a huge backlash here in france i've watched the video and i'm shocked just like the whole world the video poses a number of questions to him and. we need a commission inquiry what is a private to doing among law enforcement officers this question must be posed to him. i can't believe this guy is still in the service of the president of the republic so micron tolerates that the film scene is very violent. macro's colleague usurps police insignia and hits a man to the ground you can't want an exemplary republic and let people think that they can be double standards one justice for french citizens and one for

presidential workers. if we accept that anyone can pretend to be a police officer we no longer live under state law well who is alexander but what we know about him is that he has been politically active since his twenty's now he was a security aide to some of france's previous minutes but he joined the mark on presidential campaign back in two thousand and sixteen he is an aide to my chief of staff and he is normally the person in charge of security arrangements he's often seen with the president might call active vents just a few meters away it's plenty of video plenty of videos of the two together this is a man who really has the president right next to him almost all the time that he's on official duties now this is the official statement that these a palace has made this morning in regards to the situation he has been suspended

for fifteen days without pay he has been relieved of his functions regarding the organization of security for the president's movements this sanction is punishment for unacceptable behavior and constitutes a final warning it is the most serious punishment ever administered to an aide working at the. well an investigation has been opened by the public prosecutor here in paris they are looking at a number of aspects which could lead to formal charges of violence by a public official illegal use of a police insignia because he was wearing a police insignia at one point during that may day protests and also pretending to be a police officer now that charge alone if it's made him if he's found guilty carries a sentence of up to a year in jail and a fifteen thousand euro fine. while the french president seems to be dodging a response on the growing scandal and brushed off any damage done by the issue it brought the discussion back to the symbol of friends. i do not. want to go from

they want to start a family again at the end of it but it's a different that's my job i don't know not that i could be good at it you know to have it. the viral video this is america has been parodied by a performer of iraqi descent we spoke to the man behind this is iraq this is a. guy just living number get a slip and number of put up with another bizarre way. corrupt and every year for whatever you foresee is the real thing we can take every year there are some barrels and barrels or bales and. leave in the demolished to deliver to mission accomplished. the there is a fuel source issue between america and iraq given that the us led invasion of iraq is a major contributing factor to where we are to the i think it was just sort of the . drop for this drug to be done on the back of a truck about america when if you manage it it's a bit. through

a lot so it's agree to do the movie over a little something and i feel like we can be pretty good. in the trade itself and just raising awareness and i think that's important. people come up to me and it's on the owners and the poor are using awareness and getting you know getting them were familiar with the subject that they would sort of you were because they were too young at the time when the when the invasion happens of this trick in just one person in a positive manner and sort of get along and the conversation going then sort of it's achieved at school and i'm doing that and releasing. this really parliament passed a contentious bill that defines the country as the nation state of the jewish people critics say it essentially diminishes the status of the country arab citizens picks up the story. but it effectively does is it enshrined in the israel basic law the

concept that israel is the historic homeland of the jewish people and they have exclusive right to national self-determination now supporters say that it equates jewish values with democratic values it puts them on an equal footing but critics and there are many say that it effectively discriminates against the country's arab population who make up some twenty percent and other minorities now you have for example now in law the fact that hebrew is the official language of the country arabic is given the status of special status and has effectively been downgraded there were hours of debate in the israeli knesset the israeli parliament prior to this contentious nation state being passed into law a particularly tension part of the ball is the whole idea of israeli or jewish settlements now there was a lot of debate about this in the past it was changed because the charge was put forward that it promotes single geisha and that even with the change critics complain because now for example they say it promotes jewish settlements it caused

so much anger in the parliament that arab members of parliament actually ripped the bill to shreds. yet this is an even more black flag covers over it this is the. harbors of black. now the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says that this is a pivotal moment in the history of zionism and israel. this is a historic moment in the history of zionism and the history of the state of israel israel is the national state of the jewish people and national state respects the rights of individuals the rights of all citizens and in the middle east only israel respects these rights so today we have written the law in stone now the ball was first proposed back in two thousand and eleven and over the years controversial as it is it has seen a number of rewrites and parallel proposals the countries. my minister netanyahu has always supported it and for years he has now been eventually it will be passed

into law and that's what we've seen happening now with a lot of reaction. creates a lot of problems it's very the conflicts on the committees look i'm totally against it will repeal this law and say it's a country forever. of my life but it's about time to have this law which says we're the nation of the jews in the state of israel this is our country it's our language and think the arabs should not feel that there is racism that they get privileges there should be a jewish israeli nationality the state of israel the arabs cannot do things against jews in this state and they should be part of the place and not go against. this law has no meaning we will leave with the arabs another two thousand years we're leaving with them well and they have a good life here in fact there is no problem it's all talk which politicians not to do well. done dica from the jerusalem center for public affairs told us the law is

not discriminatory. the shift in status merely allows israel to in shrine in the law that hebrew is the official language of the state arabic is a language with special status meaning any kind of institutional organization association will continue to have arabic as a special language and the islam as a culture the muslim religion as a religion as well as the arab national status of israel's arab minority will be preserved one hundred percent the only difference here is that the government and the knesset wanted to underscore the importance of having a jewish emblem as the official emblem a jewish the jewish language of thirty seven hundred years which is hebrew as the official language jewish holidays is the official holidays just like scores of other countries around the world it is absolutely not discriminatory whatsoever. of
