in the. mainstream media is left almost hysterical after donald trump first. and then russian counterpart for a second meeting in the. most disgraceful performances by an american president it's this is not possible that the president of the united states is inviting so let's get. this. president has apparently doubled down. also ahead at least twenty people in india reportedly killed in incidents of violence triggered by the spread of fake news. members of the white helmets rescue group their families from syria citing

immediate threat to their lives at the controversy. with the top stories from the past seven days on right up to the moment developments as well you're with the weekly r.t. international i'm you know neal. so just as the dust settled on the trump 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 all in an interview. confirmed his intention to meet. again. second meeting potentially with your putin.

is that in the works is it planned has it been 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'd have a good relationship with you russia's ambassador to the u.s. sais the kremlin is open to such invitations although moscow has yet to give an official response and we have to try and go was following the historic health sinky talks 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 and 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. 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. to the twelve people i think that's an incredible if it was you i was an intelligence of the most self 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 for straighted then before the leaders met. on lists where of course looking for any tell tale signs from the leaders behavior during their meeting in finland and some think

they're a hunch. we asked the body language expert howard feldman what could be read into the 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 he faces what seems to be an opponent so he starts 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 tension now what do you see about that handshake is it is a 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 with of placing of his hand and he goes in very very evenly and that's how the handshake is is.

executed well that in mind trump keeps adding fuel to the fire he's tweeted once again that the meeting with putin was great despite quote fake news using every bit of their energy to try and disparage it news of washington's invitation to the russian president sent many media outlets well simply into. 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 enters a bit of 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 with. 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 works or is donald trump the media rage was visible on magazine covers us well. perhaps heavy criticism like the. bolter his stance on a few things just the day after he had been maintaining his position on vladimir putin's noninvolvement concerning alleged election 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. 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 what is it i would say that that is true but you haven't proven specifically you hold him personally responsible when i look because he's in charge of the time. is ready to start getting. back to 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 stop letting them create imaginary enemies that waste money and waste lives on nonsense approaches. well hours after they held think the 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 called the accusations against her fabricated maria is accused of conspiracy to defraud the u.s. not registering as a foreign agent while promoting russia's state interests she has pleaded not guilty to the charges business lawyers said the special counsel's office was offered the opportunity to interview her but they showed no interest. will investigators also

claim that puts in a was in contact with russian intelligence officials and that she offered six 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 visited trump in the oval office she's been plenty of other places too.

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 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 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 at it again even they don't know what the it is that they're adding it. moving on the israeli prime minister has said that his country initiated the evacuation of the controversial white helmets group from syria at the request of donald trump and other western allies for several days to go trump

contacted me as did canadian prime minister true and request. to hundreds of white helmets from syria these are people who have saved lives and whose lives were in danger for i approved the passage through israel to other countries is an important humanitarian gesture to israel if i can waited over four hundred members of the group on their families to neighboring jordan now after a count of britain and germany reportedly agreed to accept at least some of their most refugees syrian government forces have launched an offensive against militants in the south of the country where members of the group were 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 and i was ation the white helmets and families they were evacuated from the war zone in southern syria

to a neighboring country. now the idea of 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 after the belonging to the white helmets consider themselves whiskey was who risked their lives to hold state civilians but the organization remains controversial particularly over where its funding comes most of its funding is from the waist and as such it is criticized as being an organization that promotes a 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 a so-called provocations that could happen during such a move but you may she seemed 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 and 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 provocation and pinning the blame for. and the syrian government now with all these controversies surrounding the white helmets they certainly are risks and could be more risks around the sea of accusation. in addition to the evacuation of the white helmets the scene hundreds of militants on their families move to the rebel held north now the evacuation comes as the syrian army advances along the country's southern border with jordan syria has long been held by western backed militants seeking to overthrow president assad the knesset building who is an independent investigative journalist wonders why the white helmets are more privileged when it comes to evacuation ordinary syrian civilians this is the next factional right here ation it's an exceptional evacuation 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 qatar and saudi arabia we saw or. protest by the u.n. agencies or demands rather that the white house in fact curated and given priority in 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 jordan while the white house mates are again being given exceptional progress through those two countries and on to the countries that are supposed to play going to host them more of the week's news right after this.

people criticize us or they question us than they want to know why we're not more book for the goal of russia 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 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 like.

when you're back with the weekly here in r t international let's move on to more of the week's big stories and islamic state has claimed responsibility for a powerful explosion that has rocked the afghan capital of kabul the country's interior ministry says that many as fourteen people are dead scores more injured as a result the blast occurred close to the city's airport on is thought to have targeted the vice president's motorcade after he had just landed there it's believed the suicide bomber blew himself off in a crowd gathered to greet the vice president tees unharmed but sources say some security staff as well as civilians including children. could be among those killed or wounded we will of course bring you any developments as we get it on that story . at least twenty people have reportedly been lynched in the past two months across india after a fake news about kidnappers taking and abusing children were spread on social

media there were also false accusations of organ harvesting and killing is considered to be secret in the country calls for the government to take urgent action are now growing the horrendous acts of mobocracy cannot be permitted to inundate the law of the land the recurrent pattern of violence cannot be allowed to become the new normal in one of the latest cases more than two dozen men were arrested in connection with the lynching of a man over a fake rumors he was a child kidnapper since the start of me fake news about the child captors filled wats up child's polyploid girl has more. 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 page

or state who's on twitter but in india the consequences of spreading fake news have become far more tongil 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 front on. 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 free news and rumors 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 do you see how almost even before leading to maybe not but the one used to be the leading organized it is not strictly on the body region but knowing what someone's in a large setting such things for the skill of these going to be much bigger and it is much higher than most people would be going to have this problem because the raising of information here on the road for solution groups. is the centralization and create chaos and also the sense of mission that it can so this is definitely one of the. phenomenon that is going on because it's a complex we're not only going to look at each of say you are. going to look at how much of government the country has and we need to also discipline some of these subtleties from wireless these parts. of the

french city of not is refusing to clear a makeshift migrant camp in the center of the city saying she'd rather work towards a dignified human solution it comes as doctors there say per summer tree conditions could see an epidemic break out the camp has grown in size over the last few months on an estimated four to five hundred people live there reporting from the area short of devinsky. in nohant in a public garden in the heart of the city hundreds of refugees stand in line for their next meal one of them we will be calling him home it has been in the city for two months he's agreed to speak to us as long as we hide his identity. we are lost hopeless there are problems with finding somewhere to live food we don't sleep well it's very terse it's painful very painful because there is

a risk of rapid remix here not at all happy because we're in danger here and sanitation is a big issue it's estimated that around five hundred people live in this camp yet there is only one toilet and just a single water tap they've been here for weeks after being expelled from an abandoned building nearby and a problem that was once being masked is now in full view and locals are getting increasingly worried and again it's very negative for months just like it's negative for any other city where the sample regardless of whether it's paris or any other city it's a very bad sign for the locals and tourists. i think we need to evacuate them from and move them outside of the scene from now we try to have a clean city but today the hygiene conditions are not being respected and. they don't have access to sanitation there's only one water tap this park is not adapted migrants despite calls to clear the camp the local mayor had refused saying the

reception of migrants should be dignified and organized but so far it's anything but the camp is being deemed an eyesore and a major sanitation issues by many locals and it's also a big worry for humanitarian groups. there is a problem with town hall that doesn't want to take responsibility for the emergency and it's a humanitarian emergency here. they are not economic migrants they all political migrants ninety five percent home from school zones. now the authorities have taken the decision to expel migrants from this camp and they say pack up their few belongings they're not sure where they going to head to next but it will be somewhere and they likely to stay together as a group so the problem wroth of them being solved is just being moved despite promises by the local authority to solve the situation with emergency accommodation
