2:01 pm
lives at the controversy. with the top stories from the past seven days on right up to the moment developments well you're with the weekly an r t international i'm going to know neil. well just as the dust settled on the putin summit in the finnish capital held sinking the white house shocked many people on thursday by announcing it was inviting the russian president to washington this autumn in an interview donald trump has since confirmed his intention to meet. again. second meeting potentially with. is that in the works is it planned has it been you know i would
2:02 pm
say it's in the works look 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 or russia's ambassador to the us the kremlin is open to such invitations although moscow has yet to give an official response. has been following the historic helsinki talks on the aftermath for us while 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 talks between donald trump and a lot of our putin with oliva 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
2:03 pm
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 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 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 fast. amazing 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
2:04 pm
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 if you were able to be 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. yeah lots of things surrounding this meet of course i'm lists for instance where of course looking for any telltale signs from the leaders behavior during their meeting in finland some of think their hands shake speaks volumes we
2:05 pm
asked body language expert howard feldman what can be read into. 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 believe very uncomfortable they look like a doubles and couple and then they reach out for their attention now what do you see about that handshake is it is a distant handshake it is not one with a date hold bodies are involved in it it's not one hand on top of the other trump is very very visual with the war with of placing of his hand and he goes in very very evenly and that's how the handshake is is is
2:06 pm
executed well donald trump has tweeted once again that the meeting with vladimir 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 into meltdown. he went on to a tack 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 in but it's there were sort of feels like we're unaware that 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 adding him to washington so let's collude again. top spy in the united states he doesn't know how is that possible that the president of the united states
2:07 pm
is inviting putin for a second summit in a couple months in the fall over at the white house because the president he works for is donald trump and it wasn't just pundits and commentators chronicling the meeting but my guessing covers as well. all talking of sitting people one thing that hasn't stood a trump has been the heavy criticism he's faced since those helsinki talks on monday it's even seen him a partly alter his stance on a number of things just the day after he had been maintaining his position on vladimir putin's noninvolvement concerning alleged election meddling. president
2:08 pm
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 greet with u.s. intelligence the. russians 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 anyway is russia are 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
2:09 pm
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 to stop letting them create imaginary enemies that waste money and waste lives on nonsense approaches. well hours after they helsinki summit wrapped up a twenty nine year old russian woman was arrested on charges of conspiracy to a foreign agent russia's foreign minister the man did her release coldly accusations against her fabricated maria is accused of conspiracy to defraud the u.s. on not registering as a foreign agent while promoting russia's state interests she has pleaded not guilty to the charges but to ms lawyer said the special counsel's office was offered the opportunity to interview her but they showed no interest. well
2:10 pm
investigators also claimed and i was in contact with the russian intelligence officials and that she offered sex in exchange for a job a u.s. special interests organization now the hype over the alleged russian spy in the u.s. was fueled on twitter where one journalist find out a partly that she had visited trump in the oval office and she's been plenty of other places to reportedly.
2:11 pm
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 colleague into question his own intelligence agencies it
2:12 pm
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 trope 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 yet. another story we're closely following this weekend because really prime minister has said that his country initiated the vacuum way short of the controversial white helmets group from syria at the request of donald trump and
2:13 pm
other western allies you for several days to go and trump contacted me as did canadian prime minister true and request. to hundreds of white house from syria these are people who saved lives and whose lives were in danger of. approved passage through israel to other countries as an important humanitarian gesture so this is what's known in israel evacuated over four hundred members of the group on their families to neighboring jordan after come of that britain and germany reportedly agreed to accept 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 were located. upon request of the u.s. canada and european states israel has completed a humanitarian effort to rescue members of a syrian civil war and i was ation the white helmets and families they were
2:14 pm
evacuated from the war zone in southern syria to a neighboring country. now the idea of has called us 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 hope saved 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 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.
2:15 pm
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 it 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 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 house will be used as intended art even when is the now is that these members
2:16 pm
of the white helmets have been evacuated from the region we cannot rule out the possibility of a large scale probably cation and pinning the blame. for this purpose and the syrian government now with all these controversies surrounding the white helmets they certainly are risks and could be more risks around the secular nation. well in addition to the evacuation of the white helmets the area has seen hundreds of militants and their families moved 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 but s. a billy who's an independent investigative journalist wonders why the white helmets are more privileged when it comes to a viking away shin than ordinary syrian civilians this is the next factional right here a sureness 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.
2:17 pm
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. and given priority in fact over civilians 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 house mates are again being given exceptional progress through those two countries and on to the countries that are supposedly going to house them you're watching or to international more of the week's top news right after this. people criticize us or they question us and they want to know why we're not more book for nickel of russia and the real question is how come we're not tooting
2:18 pm
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 prepare the program i had to look at a lot of material listened to a lot of material and also read a lot of material that moves a puling. and not only that when you get these images into your head and of course the images that i was used to foam graphic and then the thing i could include in a in a television program. ninety
2:19 pm
minutes into the program welcome back islamic state has claimed responsibility for a powerful explosion that has rocked the afghan capital of kabul the country's interior ministry says' as many as fourteen people are dead and scores more injured as a result the blast occurred close to the city's airport and is thought to have targeted the vice president's motorcade after he had just landed there it's believed the suicide bomber blew himself up in a crowd gathered to greet the vice president he is on the harm but sources say some security staff as well as civilians including children could be among those killed or wounded we heard from some people caught up in the tragedy. that was going on i was getting out of the car when the explosion happened i received a facial injury from shrapnel someone then took me to a hospital to go to one victims have been admitted to hospital out of them three

2:25 pm
barrels and barrels or barrels and barrels. and the demolished delivered to mission accomplished. i think there's a pool 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 backdrop for this trip to be done on the back of a truck about america when if humanity takes a bit. of a backseat to iraq well it's agree to do the movie religion something you and i feel like we can be pretty good and. in the truck itself and then just raising awareness i think that's important. that people come up to me and it's only and thank me for everything awareness and getting you know getting them were familiar with the subject that they once were clear what because they were too young at the time when the when the invasion happens of this track and just in that one person in a positive manner and sort of get a dialogue and

2:28 pm
plan welcome to worlds apart even for those who've seen the war up close the conflict in syria set a new branch mark for cruelty and more than any other war it capitalized on the public's repulsion of violence and produced death and suffering not only as an abbottabad result of hostilities but also deliberately the political and the media can do these kinds of crimes be educated in a court of law well to discuss that i'm now joined by katrina. had of the un international impartial and independent mechanism on investigation and prosecution of persons responsible for the most serious crimes under international law committed in syria since march two thousand and eleven when the marquee girl it's great talker. thank you very much for your time and i've been interviewing people
2:29 pm
in positions of power for quite some time but i have to say this is the longest title i've ever come across twenty one awards not counting articles and positions all to express the idea that this is not exactly the tribunal but it may lead to one is that accurate. what is accurate is that it's not a trade you know. and it is indeed to assist in the investigating investigation and prosecution of those crimes and of the person that may be found responsible for it but as it is not a tribunals indeed this mechanism has only a sense if it can turn its files or its evidence to tribunals now you call it impartial and independent despite the fact that the key actors in the in the syrian the war like the syrian arab republic or russia. don't even recognize the legitimacy of this mechanism don't you think that these terrorists impartial
2:30 pm
independent require the support of everybody in order to be applicable. they are extremely important terms in the in the title i don't call it it was named this way by the by the general assembly which decided to adopt establish this mechanism. one hundred five states voted in favor of this mechanism but indeed fifteen including russia and the syrian arab republic decided to vote against and they have explained reasons why they do that fifty two states decided to abstain so if the question is whether that. those modalities of an abduction actually renders this mcginest in less legitimate or whether it's impossible for us to be independent and impartial my answer is no i think being
2:31 pm
independent impartial is now.
