8:01 am
a very warm welcome to the program you're watching the weekly here on our to international with all the latest headlines and i round up of the stories that shaped the week. just as the dust had started to settle on the truck put in some of the finnish capital helsinki the white house announced on thursday it's inviting the russian president to washington this fall and then interview donald trump has since confirmed his intention to meet thought amir putin again. second meeting potentially. is that in the works is it planned has it been you know i was in the works we had a tremendous discussion on many things but fact is we got along very well i think i have a good relationship with you russia's ambassador to the u.s. says that russia is open to
8:02 am
a putin visit to washington although he also mentioned that it's not the quantity but the quality of the meetings that matters most the helsinki talks were billed as historic go in on your part on bill we're following the event for us. well i'm standing right outside the modestly looking presidential palace in the capital of finland where everything happened first two hours of a head to head togs between donald trump and a lot of our putin with all the the translators allowed inside the room that was then followed by a lunch where the leaders were joined by some of the most senior officials from the two countries then came the first ever joint press conference by donald trump and vladimir putin i looked into the faces of donald trump who was standing right here by the way with a bigger microphone and vladimir putin here with a smaller microphone and i saw two men who were genuinely enjoying talking together but today first of all their message to the journalists was that they want this
8:03 am
kind of relationship to spread beyond their personal time somehow they want to put washington moscow relations back on track our relationship has never been worse. than it is now however that changed as of about four hours ago but guess what still worries the entire u.s. presidential 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 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 president
8:04 am
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 reese. thanks to the twelve people i think that's an incredible of you because of it with a lot of youth or was an intelligence of some muscle and i do know how. 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 can only see smiles on their faces on monday i was working among the group of russian journalists who cover whatever a lot of who does and my colleague from or to america on the bill was among the sole called us presidential poll of journalists so. what did it look like from your
8:05 am
side ilya captured it quite perfectly and making the point that you can see it just from the way the reporters during the press conference handled question time the only two questions to come from the american press gaggle had to do with collusion the fact the meeting went on and the fact that it went on long made the washington press corps that i was traveling with quite distraught if you can imagine waiting around for the press conference i could hear many reporters from the american side making jokes about what could possibly be taking so long with these two world leaders of two very powerful countries of course. we can imagine there'd be many things for them discussed but only crude jokes coming from the american side i heard one colleague on a major network describe the press conference that was held between trump and putin as a wedding that was on live television i don't know which side is the bride and which
8:06 am
side of it is the groom anderson but it sort of feels like we're in a wedding this is without any sort of anything as much as a joint statement from the two presidents pledging. concrete steps that either will take on issues concerning syria or otherwise none of that came from the event today the two leaders simply said they met and things went well and they hope the conversation will continue in the future analysts were of course looking for any telltale signs from the leader's behavior during the helsinki summit and some think their handshakes speak volumes we asked analyst and body language expert howard feldman what can we read into that. trump is coming from a very very highly critical domestic america so he's used he's very aware that his whole country is looking at him and trying to interpret what is really going on between these two leaders and it's with there that he enters the room and he faces faces what seems to be an opponent so you start off and he's very
8:07 am
he's almost strutting both of them off they sit down they build their young comfortable they look like a doubles and apple and then they reach out for their attention now what do you see about that handshake is it is a very distant handshake it is not one with the whole bodies are involved you know to start one hand on top of the other trump is very very visual with a war with of placing of his hand and he goes in very very evenly and that's how the hand shake is is. executed the mainstream media have gone through the roof over the plans for a second trump putin summit some even called it news from hell creating a similar level of hysteria to before the first meeting. i don't know which side is the bride and which side of it is the groom anderson but
8:08 am
it is there were sort of feels like we're at a wedding you have been watching perhaps one of the most disgraceful performances by an american president why is president trump putting himself in his a vulnerable high stakes scenario and letting flat in your putin lead. a man that even president trump now says interfered in u.s. democracy invited to the white house and now the president has apparently doubled down they stand by him to washington so let's collude to get that. top spy in the united states he doesn't know how is that possible that the president of the united states inviting putin for a second summit in a couple of months in the fall over at the white house because the president he works for is donald trump. despite the criticism the american president initially said the helsinki summit was a very good start for everybody but just a day later the world saw
8:09 am
a shift in how trump describes the about have president putin he just said it's not your option i will say this i don't see any reason why you would be. and should have been and i don't see any reason why you wouldn't be russia. sort of a double negative. because we would u.s. intelligence the. russian battle the election or the i would say that that is true but you haven't specifically told him personally responsible well i would because he's in charge of the time for anything that the russians are getting ready for the president you know. i talked to the president he wasn't answering that question he was saying no he's not taking questions despite all the controversy surrounding donald trump it was what vladimir putin had to say that had everyone abuzz at a q. and a session with the media the russian president said he wanted trump to win the
8:10 am
two thousand and sixteen election many saw that as a major revelation but was 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. yes i wanted him to because the truth will bring us russian relations back to normal you would 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 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
8:11 am
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. feels like only really wants to change much for the bill itself but can he really it's a little 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 seriously we wanted to see what people think about this like calling kalibo but went out and asked new yorkers he's an honest man who really wants to change much
8:12 am
for the better for the. well that's that's what putin said about a u.s. presidential candidate what you make of that neither one of them honest. actually what putin said about obama. 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 caught in the media you know trump's way more talk about trump it's way more. you know intriguing to the general public so i think that's probably why you know the media doesn't make it big a 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 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
8:13 am
there was no alleged to have no reported meddling no conspiracies yeah there was it was just a train and 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 warned him not to congratulate lad 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
8:14 am
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 called up to say at a boy russia has made no secret of it once to be friends of course it does sanctions call the 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 hours after the health think the summit wrapped up a u.s. court order they arrest of maria boards in a twenty nine year old russian woman she's accused of lobbing moscow's interests among us politicians russia's foreign minister has demanded britain has released and called the accusations against her fabricated maria bush in the is accuse of
8:15 am
not words registering as a foreign agent and is thought to have acted on behalf of the russian government she has pled not guilty to the charges her lawyer says fortune offered to be interviewed by the special counsel's office but they showed no interest in speaking to her. investigators also claim that bush you know was in contact with russian intelligence officials and that she offered sex in exchange for a job at a u.s. special interest organization the hype over the alleged russian spy in the u.s. was fueled on twitter where one journalist appeared to reveal that which in the had visited trump in the oval office that was quickly dispelled.
8:16 am
let me just say that here in the united states among the media who despise the president they look today at what happened as trump absolutely
8:17 am
being own as they say by vladimir putin barris. that it was horrible it was terrible calling into question his own intelligence agencies it was a desaster this is what they are say what you might see as having occurred is common poll different than what they're saying now meanwhile they're forgetting that the most important aspect of today's visit was what happened outside of the view and the air of the cameras that's what's important that's what's critical nobody is talking about that because frankly they don't know anything. but what they're saying is this is another example of this kind of sion between trump and potent and what this is going to do is resonate through some kind of weird pavlovian connection some obey sense that they have to this idea that i ha the russians they're added again even they don't know what the it is that they're
8:18 am
adding more news after a short break. what holds us to do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so if you want to be president. some want us. to do it for us this is what. three people. interested in the war as a. person. people criticize us or they question us and they want to know why we're not more critical of russia the real question is how come we're not shooting russia's horn more because they are been genius during this crisis but that would be i think a little bit you know over the top to simply point out all the good things that
8:19 am
they're constantly doing so we just try to take a more balanced middle of the road approach that's you know the fact is that they're making all these other economies look stupid like. welcome back to the program at least twenty five people have been reportedly lynched in india after a fake news about kidnappers taking and abusing children were spread on social media there are not calls for the government to take urgent action the horrendous acts of mobocracy cannot be permitted to inundate the lure of the land the recurrent packing the violence kemah be allowed to become the new normal in one of the latest cases indian police arrested more than two dozen men and bold in the lynching of a man or fake rumors he was

8:22 am
facebook to do something about it we're stressing an education campaign in india on how to spot fake news and. so the company launched a series of newspaper ads in several languages the headline says beware of whether a story is hard to believe and watch out for spelling mistakes it's not going to be easy though what's that messages are encrypted that means identifying the source of each reema is near impossible india is also what saps biggest market the company counts over two hundred million users that combine that with a sense of panic a very stubbornly high rate of violent crime and you have all the conditions for fake news to turn into real death these days however almost even before we came to me but believed to be legalized it and it is not strictly on the body region but knowing what was wanted and it works and bring such things to the skill of these
8:23 am
much bigger now it is much needed most people would be going to have this problem besides the raising of information you know more of for solution groups there. is decent resolution creating chaos and also the sense of mission that is so this is definitely one of the victims of this news phenomenon that is going on because it's a complex you know when you go to say you really look at do you want to look at how much of government the country has and we need to also he says in some of these surveys from wireless these proxy. israel says it has about curated eight hundred members of the controversy a wide helmets group eller family members to neighboring jordan that's after government forces launch an offensive against militants in southern syria where members of the group are located. upon request of the u.s. canada and european states israel has completed
8:24 am
a humanitarian effort to rescue members of a syrian civil organization the white helmets and families they were evacuated from the war zone in southern syria to a neighboring country. not a policy clear for the details paula what more do we know about the evacuation. well firstly what we do know is that in the past few weeks there has been an intensive effort by the syrian army that has been making gains against pushing the last remnants obviously a mixtape out of syria at the same time it has its eye on regaining the control over the syrian borders with israel and jordan and we've heard from the united nations and several human rights organizations that as many as two hundred and seventy thousand people have fled their homes in the latest offensive most of them have gone towards the jordanian border although some of them have gone to the committee for crossing on the syrian golan heights now this comes as we receive
8:25 am
confirmation from both the israeli defense forces and the jordanian foreign ministry that overnight saturday they evacuated some eight hundred members of the controversial white helmets organization then they families were taken from syria to israel and then from israel to the jordanian border now the idea of has caught those two quotes an exceptional humanitarian gesture it has said that it carried out this evacuation at the request of the united states and several european countries and that the request and we became several weeks ago it also said in a statement that it released that this operation has now been completed and that to quote the syrian civil war going to zation and its families were transferred to a neighboring country but of course we're talking here about the white helmets and that neighboring country is jordan the i.d.f. went on to say that this was part of its intervention policy in terms of what was happening inside syria the white helmets organization is controversial it receives
8:26 am
its funding from the west and as such the activists push a western interventionist policy for example they received some more than fifty two million dollars from the united states they also received funding from the netherlands denmark germany canada and new zealand. now as reports of the evacuation were made public the russian foreign ministry
8:27 am
warned that they could be so called more provocations as it got under way. but in may she seemed far more artsy according to the information we have the white helmets convoy arrived in the town of adlib and among the end rivals were several chemical experts miss out the missile parts were also on loaded we do not rule out the possibility that these shall we say souvenirs and loaded by the white house will be used as intended art even when is the now is that these members of the white helmets have been evacuated from the region we cannot rule out the possibility of a large scale provocation and pinning the blame for this procreation on the syrian government. now with all these controversies surrounding the watch helmets they certainly are risks and could be more risks around the sea of accusation pulse where reporting live from tel aviv thank you. that's a news wrap up for this hour thanks for tuning it.
