the mainstream media is left almost hysterical after trump first tails this week's summit with gordon success and then vice his russian counterpart for a second meeting in the autumn. the most disgraceful of all performances by an american president it's a disaster with the possible that the president of united states is inviting so let's collude like. the president has apparently doubled down. also this hour at least twenty people in india are reportedly killed in influence of mob violence triggered by the spread of fake news. plus israel evacuates members of the white home its rescue group and their families from syria citing an immediate threat to their lives we'll look at the controversy behind them with.

a very warm welcome to the program you're watching the weekly here on our to international with all the latest headlines and a round up of the stories that shape the week. just as the dust settled on the trumpet and summit in the finnish capital helsinki the white house shocked many people on thursday by announcing it was inviting the russian president to washington this autumn and then interview donald trump has since confirmed his intention to meet the bottom or putin again. second meeting potentially. yes is that in the works is it planned has it been you know i would say it's in the works look we had a tremendous discussion on many things but the fact is we got along very well i think i have a good relationship with you russia's ambassador to the u.s. says the kremlin is open to such invitations although moscow has yet to give an

official response to trying go was following the historic helsinki talks for us. i am 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 kind of relationship to spread beyond their personal time somehow they want to put

washington moscow relations back on track and 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 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 the. thanks to the twelve people i think that's an incredible rebuttal but if i was an intelligence of some myself and i do know how compile it was however none of this seemed to convince american journalists and while i was looking at them when they were leaving the room they seem to be even more frustrated than before the leaders met analysts were of course looking for any telltale signs from the leaders behavior during their meeting in finland and some think they're handshakes speak volumes we asked analyst and body language expert howard feldman what we can read into that. trump is coming from a very very highly critical domestic america so he's he's 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 that that he enters the

room and he faces faces what seems to be an opponent so you start off and he's very he's almost strutting both of them off they sit down they very very uncomfortable they look like a divorce and couple 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 in it it's not 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 handshake is is. executed even so trump keeps adding fuel to the fire he's tweeted once again that the meeting with putin was great despite quote fake news using its energy to prove the opposite while news of washington's invitation to the russian president sent mainstream media into a meltdown. 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 of it is the groom anderson but it 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. by having him to washington so let's collude again like we did last top spy in the united states he doesn't know how is that possible that the president of the united states is inviting putin for a second summit in a couple months in the fall over at the white house because the president works or is donald trump the media outrage was visible on magazine covers as well.

despite trump defending putin on questions about alleged election meddling a day later he wasn't so sure about his stance. president putin he just said it's not russian i will say this i don't see any reason why it would be. and should have been and i don't see any reason why it wouldn't be russia. sort of a double negative. he would greet with u.s. intelligence that. russia meddled in the election for sixteen i would say that that is true but you haven't condemned him specifically do you hold him personally

responsible when i look because he's in georgia of the time anyway is russia still targeting the president right i mean you know. i talked to the president he wasn't answering that question he was saying you know he's not taking questions it looks like a schoolboy apologizing for something he shouldn't be apologizing for the intelligence community in america has been giving primarily bad intel like in two thousand and three with weapons of mass destruction has been turning its surveillance apparatus on the american people trump was right to call them into question we have seventeen redundant spy agencies that need to be slammed into a box we need to fire most of the people who work there and we just stop letting them create imaginary enemies that waste money and waste lives on nonsense approaches hours after the health and peace summit wrapped up a twenty nine year old russian woman was arrested on charges of conspiracy to act as a foreign agent russia's foreign minister has demanded her release and called the accusations

against her fabricated where he is accused of conspiracy to defraud the us and not registering as a foreign agent or promoting russia state interests she has pleaded not guilty to the charges which in this war so the special counsel's office was offered to interview her but they showed no interest. investigators also claim that bush and that 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 seemingly found out that she visited trump in the oval office and she did plenty of other places as well.

let me just say this here in the united states among the media who despise the president they look today at what happened as trump absolutely

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 of this connection between trump and bowden 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 the

russians thereat it again even they don't know what the it is that they're adding it. at least twenty people have been reportedly lynched in the past two months across india after fake news about kidnappers taking and abusing children were spread on social media there were also false accusations of organ harvesting and killing cows considered to be sacred in the country there are now calls for the government to take urgent action the horrendous acts of mobocracy cannot be permitted to inundate the law of the land the recurrent pattern of violence kemah be allowed to become the new normal in one of the latest cases more than two dozen men were arrested as they were involved in the lynching of a man over fake rumors he was a child kidnapper since the start of may the fake news about child captors has filled whatsapp chats reports. fake news a big time with a bad rep preferred by leaders politicians and the mainstream media labelled as

a menace to democracy and sometimes just a way to dismiss a story which you don't agree with you are free to do big news in your facebook page or state who's on twitter but in india the consequences of spreading fake news have become far more tahn jubal and deadly dozens of alleged lynch mob members have been arrested following one recent case alone but in another suspected still flinching over suspicion of child abduction a man was allegedly killed by an angry mob in cannot part of this footage shows the moment mohammed as a twenty seven year old software engineer was murdered by a mob of over two thousand people wielding sticks and stones as sam and his friends one of them atari national offered some schoolchildren chocolates as a gesture of generosity but suspicious locals spurred on by whatsapp rumors

inferred that the out of towners were part of a child abduction ring video like this one may have set off the crowd to punish the alleged kidnapper as it's gone viral in india but porting to show a child abduction it was originally made by a charity promoting child safety in pakistan back in twenty sixteen at the end of the original video the little boy is returned to the problem with fake news in india has got so bad that the indian government has urged whatsapp and its owners facebook to do something about it we're stressing an education campaign in india on how to sport freak 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 tell and into real death these days how almost even before leaving them enough but the one used to be legalized it is not strictly on the body region but knowing what was wanted in a large sandbox and things for the skin of these can be much bigger than average is much higher most people when going to have this problem besides the raising of information there are large groups that are able to exploit this decentralization and create chaos and also the sense of mission that it can so your boss is definitely one of the victims of this new phenomenon that is going on because it's a complex do not want to go to look at me society you are looking at those you want

to look at how much of government the country has and we need to also discipline some of these so he's from wires these black falsely accused. the white helmets rescue group and their families are being evacuated from syria as israel says they are under threat that story and more after a short break. to prepare the program i had to look at a lot of material to listen to a lot of material and also read a lot of material that. it was appalling. and not only that when you get these images into your head and of course the images that i was you know fall more graphic than then the thing i could include enough in the television. and what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted

or rejected. so when you want to be present. for something want to. have to go to the press this is what the four treatable people. interested always in the water. should be. welcome back israel has evacuated hundreds of members of the contras so what helmets group and their families to neighboring jordan after cam about britain and germany reportedly agree to accept at least some of them as refugees that's after syrian government forces launch an offensive against militants in the south of the country where members of the group are located. upon request of the u.s.

canada and european states israel has completed 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. now the i.d.f. has caught this to quote 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 away became several weeks ago at this belonging to the white helmets consider themselves whiskey was who risked their lives to help states civilians but the organization remains controversial particularly over where its funding comes most of its funding is from the waste and as such it is criticized as being an organization that promotes waste an interventionist agenda for example more than thirty two million dollars comes from the united states it also receives funding from the netherlands from denmark

germany canada and new zealand. but. now we're still waiting for russian reaction but when the first reports emerged a few days ago over this planned evacuation the russian foreign ministry said that there was concern over so-called provocations that could happen during such a move but emaciation 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 auslan missile parts were also unloaded 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 house have been evacuated from the region we cannot rule out the possibility of a large scale provocation and pinning the blame for. as per the syrian government now with all these controversies surrounding the watch helmets they certainly are risks and could be more risks of ground the sea of accusation in addition to the evacuation of the white helmets the area has seen hundreds of militants and their families move to the rebel held north the evacuation comes as the syrian army advances along the country's southern border with jordan the area has long been held by western backed militants seeking to overthrow overthrow president assad. live now to vanessa billy who's an independent investigative journalist now russia's foreign ministry suggested that the white helmets could be preparing

a provocation in syria's north have warnings like this been taken into consideration by western countries do you think. well i'm not sure they would is likely be taken into consideration unless of course they are being king said to protect the west and regime change operation inside syria or in that case they would be very clear to be taken into consideration as they were in hunting on an april two thousand and seventeen off to tell us and had announced that assad should stay i think within twenty four hours the primarily british financed white home at . the narrative on a large chemical attack in hunter who and then later on recently in eastern guta which was another liberation campaign by the syrian army and its allies it was the white helmets who produced the now discredited chemical provocation in east and go to discredit it of course by the interim a p c w report that has announced that no sarin was used and only chlorinated

elements that could. have their origin in household items so. the i.p.c. doubly report has largely raised the question of the credibility of the white house reports from inside syria and why do you think the credibility that's being questioned by others is being ignored in this evacuation. well i mean this is as the as the i.d.f. of announce this is an exceptional evacuation it's an exceptional about curation for an exceptional organization created by the exceptional left regimes in the united states and in the u.k. and in the e.u. the nato member states but also supported by particularly cattle and saudi arabia so what we've seen here is the evacuation of this alleged humanitarian

group while of course the israeli occupier of palestine has recently merged medics in gaza and is continuing its last night cleansing program against palestinian civilians however it gives an exceptional passage to the white helmet and you know the numbers of eight hundred white home it's and their families seem very big considering the number of white how much that would probably be in this saying how do we know that they are not evacuating armed fighters that we know who have been acting as custodial guardians of illegally and israeli territory in that province in the southern province and that these militants are not simply donating a white helmet uniform or helmet in order to cross the border to safety in jordan how many special forces nato special forces are among those who are being exception

and i evacuated from the southern provinces before the syrian arab army fully liberates those areas we also saw this in eastern leopard by the way and anything good to resort. protest by the u.n. agencies or demolish rather that the white home acts be evacuated and given priority in a fact over civilians and that's what we're saying now is saying syrian civilians. being left at the border of israel on the border of georgia while the white house mates are again being given exceptional progress through those two countries and all of. the countries that are supposed to going to house them. now just to point out the reports that it was initially eight hundred white helmets members were evacuated that has now been reduced to just over four hundred but you are right that we also have reports saying that. there's also hundreds of militants and their families being moved in to the north well the international coalition continue to

help allies they're losing ground in syria then. i think that's a that's a very good question i mean i think we've seen the majority of militant and armed forces and i was include of course knows for a front al qaeda or one juror number three brand saying monica is that have been moved up to we know that it live is now shall we say largely. ready for a liberation campaign as we've seen there vacuum ration of civilians from for him for in the last few days seven thousand civilians have left the besieged areas and villages of craft i am for and we know that at length is effectively a sort of terrorist central area. inside syria and therefore there is an expected liberation campaign we saw the u.s. basically abandon its military proxies in the south when the syrian arab army

closed in to liberate there is areas i suspect that they will probably do the same and had led i cannot say the united states committing military forces or resources to terrorist factions or militant factions in the northwest when we've just had trump and putin agreeing to work on delivering humanitarian aid to syria to ease the country's crisis however do you think that conflicting views when it comes to syria could hinder that aid delivery the two are likely to disagree on what's happening even today. well i mean i think since the russian intervention in september two thousand and fifteen we've seen russia consistently provide humanitarian aid broker amnesty and reconciliation deals in the areas under liberation such as eastern east and africa and now the southern provinces to guarantee cease fire to guarantee.

forward into reintegration of those armed factions back into syrian society so i don't think there is any question the russian involvement in humanitarian aid inside syria it's consistently been very successful however what we've seen over the us version of humanitarian aid has of course been demonstrated by the operation in the lab which led to the deaths of civilians the starvation of seven ends and the continuing deaths of civilians with the with the issues with mines that were left behind by isis when they fled the area. conflict saying. agendas inside syria. yet it's difficult to see syria or sorry russia and the united states working career he said late on humanitarian projects inside syria but that's the billy independent investigative journalist thank you so much

for your time that's a nice wrap up for this hour thanks for joining us. people criticize us or they question us on the want to know why we're not more book for nickel of russia and the real question is how come we're not tooting 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 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 by comparison. to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going from dacian let it be an arms race based on often spearing dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us as a rich one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime stamping each day. eighty five percent of global will you longs to be old prove rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent minus one is your home with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember one one distance so you can afford to miss the one and only.

the worst drug disaster in history would spread through more than forty six countries and produce up to twenty thousand badly deformed babies worldwide. but historians today single out one birth in one nine hundred sixty one that changed the course of history in hamburg germany linda shoulder fillin age twenty three gave birth to her first child her husband wasn't with her at the time and it was quiet they are. then lay back and was relaxed and some i mean somebody whispered into my ear as she hosp and not all right and i was here white awake and i said.
