good. life. good. good good food russia sharing goodness. the mainstream media is left almost hysterical after trump first tails this week's summit with a success and then invites his russian counterpart for a second meeting in the fall. the most disgraceful performances by an american president it's a disaster it's not possible that the president of the united states is inviting so let's collude to get. the president has apparently doubled. also this hour at least twenty people in india reportedly killed in instances of violence triggered by the spread a fake news. plus israel evacuates members of the white helmets rescue group and

their families from syria citing an immediate threat to their lives we look at the controversy behind them a. very warm welcome to the program you're watching the weekly here on r.t. international with all the latest headlines and a roundup of the stories that shaped 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 fall and then interview donald trump has since confirmed his intention to meet father where putin again second meeting potentially with a lot of your food. 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. russia's ambassador to the u.s. says the kremlin is open to such invitations although moscow has yet to give an official response you know to try and go was following the historic helsinki talks for us. why 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 tops between donald trump and a lot of our putin with only 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. that it is now however that changed as of about four hours ago but guess what still worries the entire u.s. presidential press 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 respect to the twelve people i think that's an incredible offer if it will but if i was an intelligence officer myself and i do know how those components 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 and less were of course looking for any telltale signs from the leaders behavior during the meeting and then months and something they're handshakes big volumes we asked analyst and body language expert howard feldman what we can read into about. trump is coming from a very very highly critical domestic america so 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 and he's very he's almost to both of them they sit. they believe to be uncomfortable they look like a devil's an apple and then they reach out for that and say now what do you see about that handshake is it is it is just a handshake it is not one with da da da whole bodies are involved in it it's not one hand on top of the trump is very very visual with the with the pacing of his hand and he goes in very very evenly and that's how the hand shake is is. executed even so dull keeps adding fuel to the fire he's tweeted once again that the meeting with president putin was great despite quote fake news using its energy

to prove the opposite while news of washington's imitation 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 is sort of feels like we're in 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. they said inviting him to washington so let's collude again like we did last summer 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 of months in the fall over at the white house because the president he

works for is donald trump. despite tom defending putin on questions about alleged election meddling a day later he wasn't so sure about his stance they have 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 i don't see any reason why it wouldn't be russia. sort of a double negative. he would carry with us intelligence that. russia meddled in the election of forty six and i would say that that is true but you haven't from whom specifically you hold him personally responsible when i look because he's in charge of the time anyway and is russia still targeting the president rather than me when you know. i talked to the president he wasn't answering that question he was saying no 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 need to stop letting them create imaginary enemies that waste money and waste lives on nonsense approaches a legit ties to moscow on the controversy surrounding donald trump began when president putin admitted he wanted trump to win the two thousand and sixteen election many saw that as a scandalous 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 the president did you want president trump to win the election and if you to write any

of your officials to help him do that you're such a loser yes i wanted him to win because he took 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 candle 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 reproducer yes he did run 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 barack obama. sort of. upon the fields i think he's only he really wants to change much for the better but can he really achieve let's move 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 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 for the. well that's that's what putin said about a u.s. presidential candidate what he make of that neither one of them minus. 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 and 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. you know intriguing to the general public so i think that's probably why you know the media doesn't make a 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 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 strange 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 whether 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 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 call up to say as a boy russia has made no secret of it once to be friends of course it does sanctions called 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 bad enough cold brule between the two presidents hours after the whole think you summit wrapped up in 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 maria boards and 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 or since worth of the special counsel's office was offered to interview her but they showed no interest. investigators also claim that fortune though 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 filled on twitter where one journalist seemingly found out that she visited trump in the oval office and she's been plenty of other places as well.

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 being own as they say by vladimir putin barris. that it was horrible it was terrible colleague 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 many things. but what they're saying is this is another example of of this connection 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 thereat it again even they don't know what the it is that they're adding. israel has evacuated over four hundred members of the controversial white helmets group and their families to neighboring jordan after canada britain and germany reportedly agreed to accept at least some of them as refugees syrian government forces have launched 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 the syrian civil war can i say sion 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 requests are weighty came several weeks ago activists belonging to the white helmets consider themselves risky was who risk their lives to help save 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 you may shoot in far more artsy according to the information we have the one helmets convoy arrived in the town of and among the and rivals were several chemical experts in the south the missile parts were also unloaded we do not rule

out the possibility that these shall we say souvenirs and loaded by the white helmets 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. on the syrian government now with all these controversies surrounding the watch helmets they certainly are risks and could be more risks of the sea of accusation in addition to the evacuation of the white home and 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 president assad. who's an independent investigative journalist wonders why the white helmets are more privileged when it comes to evacuation than ordinary syrian civilians. this is an exception no i'm right here i should it's an exceptional inoculation for an exceptional organization created by

the exceptional list regimes in the united states and in the u.k. and in the e.u. the nato member states but also supported by particularly saudi arabia we saw or. protests by the u.n. agencies or demolish rather that the white home might be in fact. and given priority in a fact disobedience and that's what we're seeing now is saying syrian civilians being left at the border of israel on the border of jordan while the white how much are again being given exceptional progress through those two countries and all of. the countries that are supposed to play going to heist. coming up in the program the indian government is under pressure to take action over a wave of lynchings inspired by false allegations on a messaging app all the details after a short break. people

criticize us or they question us and they want to know why we're not more good for the goal of russia and the real question is how come we're not tuning russia's horn more because they are bent 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 building 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. you should. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. for something i want to be rich. to go on to be the person this is what before three of the more people. interested in the why. question.

welcome back to the program a powerful explosion has rocked the afghan capital of kabul but the country's interior ministry saying as many as fourteen people are dead and scores more injured as a result the blasts occurred close to the city's airport and it's thought to have targeted the vice president's motorcade after he had just landed there it is believed a suicide bomber blew himself up in crowds gathered to greet the vice president he is on harmed but sources say some security staff as well as civilians including children could be among those killed or wounded islamic state has claimed responsibility for the attack to its own news agency will bring you any developments to that incident as we get confirmation. 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 government to take urgent action the horrendous acts of mobocracy cannot be permitted to inundate the lure of the land recurrent pattern of violence kemah be allowed to become the new normal and 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 have have filled what's up chats in the country politico reports. fake news a big time with a bad rep preferred by leaders politicians and the mainstream media labeled as a menace to democracy and sometimes just a way to dismiss a story which you don't agree with you are free to fake news in your facebook pages

faces 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 lynching over suspicion of child abduction a man was allegedly killed by an angry mob in finance. 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 kidnappers is gone viral in india but poaching 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 spot fake news and rumors so the company launched a series of newspaper adverts 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 deaths these days however almost even before leaving them enough but the one used to be very little i used it and it is not strictly on the body region but knowing what was once in a large setting such things for the skill of these going to be much bigger than average is much higher most people would be going through this problem also because of the raising of information you know normal for solution groups that it is decent to raise issues and create chaos and also because it's only shown that it can so the bosses definitely one of the. news feed on that is going to be it's a complex do not want to go to the east of say you were little you want to look at how much it governments the country has and we need to also discipline some of these so it's free wireless these facts. i hate

music video called this is america by american rapper childish gambino went viral when it was first released as well over one hundred million views in part because of its controversial depiction of us society it's also inspired a musician of iraqi descent to film a parody intended also to be critical this time of america's invasion of iraq we spoke to the met the man behind this is iraq. i just live in. ghettos live in the. world with another. subway. corrupt image every you want to see is the real thing we're going to carry you. some bells some. bells and whistles. and the demolished delivered to mission accomplished. i think there's a cool so seizure between america and iraq given that the us led invasion of iraq is a major contributing factor to where we are today i think it was just sort of the perfect

job for this trip to be done on the back of a truck about america with a few minutes it's a bit. well it's agree to do the movie. something and i feel like we can be pretty good. in the truck itself and then just raising awareness and i think that's important i've had people come up to me and thank me for using awareness and getting you know getting in were familiar with the subject that they once were familiar with because they were too young at the time when the when the invasion happens of this truck and just in that one person in a positive manner and sort of get a dialogue and a conversation going then sort of it's achieved at school and i'm vindicated and releasing the. news wrap up for this hour and that's all for me as well but my colleague here neal will be here at the top the hour with their global news update as always thanks for taking.
