in the news that shaped the week the mainstream media reeling after a double trauma hail. with. russian counterpart to the u.s. for a second meeting in the also. the most disgraceful performances by an american president it's not possible that the president of the united states is inviting me so let's collude to get. the president has apparently double down. so ahead in the program israel of i.q. weights members of the white helmets risk youth group their families from syria saying there was an immediate threat to their minds we look at the controversy behind. that least twenty people in india are reportedly killed in

incidents of mob violence triggered by the spreading of faith. with the top stories from the past seven days on right up to the moment developments as well a warm welcome to the week to here in r.t. international my names you know neil just as the dust settled on the trump putin summit in the finnish capital helsinki the white shark many people on thursday by announcing it was inviting the russian president to washington this in an interview donald trump has since confirmed his intention to meet blood near putin. second meeting potentially with with out of 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 fact is we got along very well i think i

have a good relationship with you russia's ambassador to the u.s. sees the kremlin is open to such invitations although moscow has yet to give an official response to trying to follow the historic helsinki talks for us. 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 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 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 a. speck to the twelve people i think that's an incredible if it was you or was an intelligence of some myself and i do know how compiled 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 telltale signs from the leaders behavior during their meeting in finland and some think they're on ships spoke volumes when we asked the body language expert what could be read into it. 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 that handshake now what do you see about that handshake is it is a distant handshake it is not one with their 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 the pacing of his hand and he goes in very very evenly and that's how the handshake is is. executed following the summit donald trump tweeted once again that the meeting with vladimir putin was great the spike quote fake news

using every bit of their energy to try and disparage it while news of washington's invitation to the russian president sent many media outlets into a frenzy. 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 if there were 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 the 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 of months in the fall over at the white house because the president works

or is donald trump while there were plenty of eye opening magazine covers focusing on this summit. the american president has however altered his stance on a few things just the day after he had been maintaining his position on a lot of your putin's non involvement over 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 of twenty six and i would say that that is true but you haven't confirmed specifically do you hold him personally responsible when i would because he's in charge of the time. anyway that is russia still targeting. rather than maybe 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 just hours after the helsinki summit wrapped up a twenty nine year old russian woman was arrested in america on charges of conspiracy to a foreign agent russia's foreign minister has the mounded her release on the scribe the accusations against her on fire brigade 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 bitterness lawyer said the special counsel's office was offered the opportunity to interview her but they showed no interest well investigators also claim britain was in contact with russian intelligence officials on that she offered sex in exchange for a job at a u.s.

special interests organization well the attention paid to this story was fueled on twitter where one journalist find out a partly she visited donald trump in the 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 and 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 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 who 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. trump contacted me as did the canadian prime minister true and requests in

a vacuum 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 as an important humanitarian gesture. well israel evacuated over four hundred members of their group their families to neighboring jordan after canada britain and germany reportedly agreed to accept that 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 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 going on 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 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 requests are weighty came several weeks ago activists belonging to the white helmets consider themselves rescuers who risk their lives to hope 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 a waist 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.

i. now we're still waiting for russian reaction but when the first reports emerged a few days ago over the. planned evacuation the russian foreign ministry said that there was concern of a so-called provocations that could happen during such a move me she said 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 unload it we do not rule out the possibility that these shall we say souvenirs and looted by the white helmets will be used as intended are 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 here or provocation and pinning the blame for this percolation on the syrian government now with all these controversies surrounding the white helmets

they certainly are risks and could be more risks of around the sea of accusation yeah there's another aspect to this in addition to the evacuation of the white helmets the area has seen hundreds of militants on their families move to the rebel held forth the evacuation comes as the syrian army advances along the country's southern border with jordan has long been held by western backed militants seeking to overthrow president assad but the knesset billy there is an independent investigative journalist wonders why the white helmets are more privileged when it comes to evacuation than ordinary syrian civilians. this is the next factional right here i should know 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 demolish rather that the white house in fact. and given priority in a 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 georgia. well 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 house them you're watching r t international the indian government is under pressure to take action over a wave of lynchings inspired by false allegations all the messaging up we've got the details in ninety second.

what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and should. somehow want to be that's. actually going to be this is what the three of them all the people. interested always in the logs. there should.

nineteen minutes into the program welcome back at least twenty people have been reportedly 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 faults accusations of organ harvesting and the killing of cars considered to be sacred 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 people 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

what's up charts. has been looking into this story for us. 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 tongil and deadly dozens of alleged lynch mob members have been arrested following one recent case alone but in the now those suspected of lynching was suspicion of child abduction a man was allegedly killed by an angry mob in front on. this british shares 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 a qatari 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 in education campaign in india on how the sport freak museum room 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 the one used to be very very little i used it and it was not strictly on the body region but knowing what was wanted in a large center and such things for the skill of these going to be much bigger and it is much harder most people would be going to have this problem besides the raising of information there are a lot of. this is the centralization and creating chaos and also

the sense of mission that it can so the bosses definitely is one of the. news phenomenon that is going on because it's a complex you know when you go to the east of say you are going to do you want to look at how much of government the country has and we need to also discipline some of these so he's free wireless these platforms like facebook and want to have. a hit music video called this is america by a 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 depiction of u.s. society it's also inspired a musician of iraqi descent to film a party intended also to be critical this time of america's invasion of iraq we spoke to the man behind it. this is a. guy just let me. just let me.

corrupt and it real what i see is get real we can take care we will some battles some. battles and. leave in the demolished delivered the 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 drug for this trip to be done on the back of a truck about america when if humanity takes a bit. through a lot it's agreed to do the movie. 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 before i'm using the words and getting you know getting them we're 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 trick in just one person in a positive manner and sort of get a look and a conversation going there and sort of it's achieved at school and i'm vindicated and releasing the. dots are stories like this are you watching our international stay with us now the latest worlds apart with host. is coming up and if in moments time. right we're all set to start in five yes the studio has a signal. he's not going to talk about no plan just

needed right after the mars explorers what do you put it there to. record. to say what people know. how to illustrate. well welcome to sophie and tell i'm seriously shevardnadze and today we've got lots to talk about in our program and our guest is. good luck to all. the new global economic war is unfolding in the realm of education the right to education is being supplanted by the right to access education low its high education is becoming just another product that can be bullish and sold so there's

not just about education anymore it's also about running a business where you good. luck with this also kind of the fairly good to me. what is the place of students in this business model before college i was born now i'm an extremely more higher education the new global economic war. blunt welcome to worlds apart even for those who've seen the war up close the conflict in syria set a new benchmark for. us and impunity more than any other war if capitalized on the

public's repulsion of violence and produce death and suffering not only as an in out but the result of hostilities but also deliberately political and 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 u.n. international impartial and independent mechanism on the 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 talking to you thank you very much for your time and i've been interviewing people 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 propositions 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 tribe 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 terms impartial 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 make it is them.

one hundred in 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 were deleted over the adoption actually renders this mechanism less legitimate or whether it's impossible for us to be independent and impartial my answer is no i think being independent impartial is not just. of not just terms in the name of the mechanism that our principle that i but also my entire team are extremely committed to but the legitimacy of our war but when you speak about impartiality the united states was one of the driving forces behind the creation of this mechanism and.
