among the stories down shaped the mainstream media is left almost hysterical. russian counterpart the second meeting in the. most disgraceful performance by an american president it's. possible that the president of the united states is inviting. the president apparently double also in the program at least twenty people in india are reportedly killed in. a fake news. israel. rescue with their families from syria citing media threat. we look at the controversy.

with the top stories from the house seven days on right up to the moment developments as well you're with the weekly n.r.t. international i mean. so just as the dust settled on the trump putin 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 in an interview donald trump firmed his intention to meet. in a second meeting potentially. in the works is it planned his. 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'd have a good relationship with you or russia's ambassador to the u.s. sees the kremlin is open to such invitations so little moscow has yet to give an official response at least to try and go follow the historic health sinky 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 rich. thanks to the twelve people i think that's an incredible living with a little 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 seemed to be even more frustrated then before the leaders met well alice where of course looking for any telltale signs from the leaders behavior during their meeting in finland and something their hunch exposed volumes we asked body language expert howard feldman what could 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 this with that that he enters the room and he faces he 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 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 the war with the pacing of his hand and he goes in very very evenly and that's how the handshake is is. executed a few days after the summit donald trump tweeted once again at the meeting with

putin was great despite quote fake news using every bit of their energy to try and disparage it news all of washington's invitation to the russian president those sent many media outlets into 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 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 that 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 well plenty of eye opening magazine covers who are in show to this week. however altered his stance on a few things just the day after he had been maintaining his position on love them or putin's noninvolvement concerning alleged election meddling. 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 greet with us intelligence that. russia meddled in the election for sixteen i would say that that is true but you haven't confirmed who specifically you hold him personally responsible when i look because he's in charge of the time. anyway here is russia still targeting. that i think 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 to stop letting them create imaginary enemies that waste money and waste lives on nonsense approaches. well hours after the helsinki 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 is the man that her release call the accusations against her father brigade. is accused of conspiracy to defraud the u.s. and not registering as a foreign agent while promoting russia's state interests she has pleaded not guilty to the charges britain as lawyers said the special counsel's office was offered the opportunity to interview her but they showed no interest. the investigators also claimed to know was in contact with russian intelligence officials 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 find out a partly that she had visited trump in the all oval office and she's been plenty of other places to reportedly.

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 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. 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. several days to go to trump contacted me as did canadian prime minister trudeau and request. to hundreds

of white how much from syria these are people who saved lives and whose lives were in danger of. passage through israel to other countries is an impudent humanitarian gesture. yet what we know is that israel if i could wave it over four hundred members of their group their families to neighboring jordan after account of that britain and germany reportedly agreed to accept police some of them as refugees syrian government forces have launched an offensive against militants in the side of the country where members of the group where 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 is ation 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 and we became several weeks ago at this belonging to the white helmets consider themselves whiskey was who risked 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.

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 stand 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 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. well in

addition to the evacuation of the white helmets the earlier seen hundreds of militants on their families moved to the rebel held north the evacuation comes as the syrian army advances along the country's sort southern border with jordan the area has long been held by western backed militants seeking to overthrow president assad but he said billy who is an independent investigative journalist wonders why the white helmet or more probably comes to have i.q. ation than ordinary syrian civilians this is the next factional vacuum ration it's an exceptional evacuation 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 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 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 house them more news in ninety seconds time. you put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. to going to press this is what before you know more people. interested in the war.

people criticize us or they question us and they want to know why we're not more books critical of russia and the real question is how come we're not tuning russia's horn more because they are 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 like. you're back with or to international at least twenty people have been reportedly lynched in the past two months across india after

a fake news about kidnappers taking the buz ing children were spread on social media there were also false accusations of organ harvesting on killing is considered to be sacred in the country calls for the government to take urgent action are 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 when one of the latest cases more than two dozen people were arrested in connection with the lynching of a man over a fake rumors that he was a child kidnapper since the start of may fake news about the child captors house filled what's up charts probably 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 do big news in your facebook

pages fake news 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 q so flinching over suspicion of child abduction a man was allegedly killed by an angry mob in front 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 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 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 leaving them enough but it leads to believing the lies and this is not strictly on the region but now with what was once a large semblance to the skill of these going to be much bigger it is much higher than most people would be going to have this problem besides the raising of information there are a lot of groups around it is the centralization and creating chaos and also the sense of mission that it can so the voices definitely is one of the. phenomenon that is going to be it's going to see not only go to the east of say. you want to look at how much of government the country has and we need to also discipline some

of these subtleties from wireless the. ok let's return to europe where the mayor of the french city of norte 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 of doctors there say three conditions could see an epidemic break out the campaign has grown in size over the last few months estimated four to five hundred people reside there charlotte durban ski reports. 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 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 and painful very painful because there is a risk of rapid dam exterior not at all happy because we are 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 you get well it's very negative for months just like it's negative for any other city where this sample regardless of whether it's paris or any other city it's a very bad sign for the locals and for tourists. i think we need to evacuate them from and move them outside of the scene of the sunday from now on 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 to has 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 campus being deemed an eyesore and a major sanitation issue 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. economic migrants they are political migrants ninety five percent home from school zones. now the authorities have taken the decision to expel migrants from this camp and they pack up their few belongings they're not sure where they're going to head to next but it will be somewhere and they are likely to stay together as a group so the problem rather than being solved is just being moved despite

promises by the local authorities to solve this situation with emergency accommodation so far it just looks like they're losing control charlotte to pinsky r.t. . finally this news hour a music video called this is america by an american rapper went viral when it was first released this year it's got well over one hundred million views in part because of its controversial the picture of u.s. society it's also inspired a musician of iraqi descent to film a part of the intended also to be critical this time of america's invasion of iraq we spoke to the man behind this is iraq. this is a. guy just live and nothing can get just let the number of light up with enough the subway. corrupts and every year for whatever reason our seas get

a real big thing we can take every year there are some barrels and barrels or barrels and barrels elysburg and the demolished delivered to mission accomplished. i think there's a fuel source issue 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 drop for this truck to be done on the back of a truck about america when if humanity takes a bit. a backseat to iraq well it's agree to do the movie over a little something and i feel like we can be pretty good. in the track itself and then just raising awareness and i think that's important i've had people come up to me and it's only an example for a reason awareness and getting you know getting more familiar with the subject that they weren't so familiar with because they were too young at the time you know when the when the invasion happens of this track and just in that one person in a positive manner and sort of get their dialogue and the conversation going then

sort of it's achieved at school and i'm vindicated and releasing it. i'll be back at the top of the hour with more of the week's top stories but do stay with us now live for more of great programs right ahead. when lawmakers manufacture consent to instant of public wealth. when the ruling classes to protect themselves. with the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent. of the time we can all. the middle of the room six. going around anymore you leave room. so

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going from station let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only personally 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 the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten life collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade 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 number you need

to remember one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see you then. i'd quite like a swimsuit but there's no time. for people. this is a special tent. it fills the freshly poured concrete from direct sunlight and rank .
