in the news that shaped the week the mainstream media isn't left reeling after. hale's of monday's summit with vladimir putin as a success and then invites his russian counterpart to the u.s. for a second meeting in the fall. the most disgraceful performances by an american president it's. possible that the president of the united states is inviting putin so let's collude and. so the president has apparently doubled down. there's a real evacuated members of the white helmets rescue group and their families from syria saying there was an immediate threat to their lives we look at the controversy behind the movie. and at least twenty eight people in india are reportedly killed and incidents of violence triggered by the spread of fake news.

broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow recapping the week's top stories our weekly program this is r t international. just as the dust has 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 fall in an interview donald trump has since confirmed his intention to meet again. second meeting potentially. yes 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 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 invent invitations all the moscow has yet to give an official response are trying to go 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. to the twelve people i think that's an incredible if it was a little bit of it 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 for straighted then before the leaders met and lists were of course looking for any telltale signs from the leaders behavior during their meeting in finland and some think there handshakes spoke volumes we asked the body language expert he could 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 he starts off and he's

very he's almost stretching 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 very distant handshake it is not one with their whole bodies are involved you know to start 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 donald trump 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 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 with 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 months in the fall over at the white house because the president he works for is donald trump well there were plenty of eye opening magazine covers focusing in on the summit as well.

american president has however altered his stance on a few things that just one day after he had been maintaining his position on vitamin a putin's noninvolvement over 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. you agree with u.s. intelligence that. russia meddled in the election of twenty six and i would say that that is true but you haven't been specifically do you hold him personally

responsible what i would because he's in charge of the. morning is russia are getting it right i mean 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 just stop letting them create imaginary enemies that waste money and waste lives on nonsense approaches hours after the helsinki summit wrapped up a twenty nine year old russian woman was arrested in america on charges of

conspiracy to act as a foreign agent russia's foreign minister has demanded her release and described the accusations against her as fabricated maria 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 between his lawyer said the special counsel's office was offered the opportunity to interview her but they showed no interest. investigators also claim that bhutto was in contact with russian intelligence officials and that sheltered sacks in exchange for a job at a u.s. special interests organization the attention paid to the story was fueled on twitter where one journalist found out apparently that she had visited donald trump in the oval office and she has 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 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 yet. israeli prime minister has said his country initiated the evacuation of the controversial white elements group from syria at the request of donald trump and other western allies. several days to go and trump contacted me as did canadian prime minister trudeau and request in evacuating hundreds of white helmets from syria these are people who saved lives and whose lives were in danger for i approved the passage through israel to other countries as an important humanitarian gesture. israel evacuated more than four hundred members of the 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 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 idea of 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. 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 of a so-called provocations that could happen during such a move but me she seemed far more at sea 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 miss auslan 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 here provocation and pinning the blame for this percolation 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. 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 now the area has long been held by western backed militants seeking to overthrow president assad vanessa be a leader who is an independent investigative journalist wonders why the white

helmets are more proven when it comes to evacuation than ordinary syrian civilians . this is the next factional right here a shame 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 curated 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 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 the indian government is under pressure to take action over

a wave of lynchings inspired by false allegations i mean messaging this and other news of short break this is international so. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this on spear in dramatic developments only going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. with nor make this manufactured consensus to the public worlds. when the ruling classes project themselves. with the famous merry go round of lives and be the one percent.

who ignore middle of the room stick. you. are welcome back as the weekly on our team international now donald trump launched a fresh assault on the f.b.i. and u.s. justice department on sunday the president fired off a barrage of the tweets claiming the two organizations misled the courts to obtain a warrant to surveil one of his former election campaign aides and that the claims of collusion with russia are fabricated congratulations to judicial watch and tom fitton on being successful in getting the cost of page feisty documents as usual

they ridiculous the heavily redacted but confirm with little doubt that the department of justice and the f.b.i. misled the course which on rigs. the f.b.i. on saturday had released of the documents that used to obtain a warrant to surveil carter page they allege that page was a russian agent however given the amount of redaction many of the agency's rizzi reasons for believing so are not very clear in the documents simply stated that page was the subject of recruitment by the kremlin now they also mention that carter page lived in moscow between two thousand and four and two thousand and seven and in two thousand and sixteen it is alleged that he met with senior russian officials to discuss lifting sanctions against moscow the crisis in ukraine and a compromising information about hillary clinton page however denies having been an agent of the kremlin. this is so ridiculous it's just beyond words it's just

so misleading going through those four hundred plus page documents you know where do you even begin it's literally a complete joke and it only continues it's just really sad political commentator gino told us that he doesn't believe there were sufficient grounds for the surveillance of court approach there has been nothing no one indicted no evidence whatsoever of any sort of pollution you know the media has started to conflate meddling inclusion those are not the same things this is shocking to watch as an american perhaps most of all shocking to watch how some on the left and in the media on the left are not even shocked because they should be because this isn't like america the way they're treating this president if i so weren't should be the hardest thing in the world to obtain and while i'm not excusing at all any government meddling in another government certainly i don't want russian meddling in our electoral system but let's not forget that president obama tried to

undermine netanyahu in the last israeli election so these are the kinds of things that government does it doesn't make it right it doesn't make it ok america should fight it with everything we've got i understand all of that but but you know the motivation for the story that the left keeps telling makes absolutely no sense when you consider all of the disconnects that exist in this story and the fact that there's zero evidence zero indictments based on anything even close to collusion. at least twenty people have been reportedly lynched in the past two months across india after fignon news about kidnappers taking and abusing children were spread on social media there are also false accusations of we're going to harvesting and the killing of cows considered to be sacred in the country calls for the government to to take urgent action are now grown. 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 and one of the latest cases more than two thousand people were arrested in connection with the lynching of a man over fake rumors he was a child kidnapper since the start of may fake news about the child captors was. has filled whatsapp chats with his pipe boyko reports. 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 too 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 part 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 amand his friends one of them a qatari national offered some schoolchildren chocolates as a gesture of generosity but suspicious locals spurred on by what sat broom is 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 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 boys returned 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 to spot fake news and 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 these days however almost even before we give

them enough but it leads to believing or lives to it and it is not strictly on the body region but now with what was once and a lot semblance of things for the skill of these going to be much bigger than average is much higher than most people would be going to have this problem besides the raising of information you know more of. that it will explode because the centralization and create chaos and also the sense of mission that it can so the voices definitely is one of the. news phenomenon that is going on because it's a complex you not only go to say the you are a little activist you want to look at how much of government the country has and we need to also discipline some of these so it's free wireless the. music video called this is america by an american rapper went viral when it was first released this year and has well over one hundred million views in part because of its controversial depiction of the u.s.

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 man behind this is iraq. some. guy just let me. just slip in the. subway. corrupts and every year whenever we see hysteria colby's think we can take every other girl some barrels and barrels or barrels and barrels. and the demolished deliberate 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 backdrop for this truck to be done on the back of a truck about america when if humanity takes a back. seat to iraq well it's agreed to do the money. something you

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 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 track and just 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 it. and that doesn't for me i'll be back in thirty two and a half minutes with another look at your weekly you are watching our team interact .

right we're all set to start in five guys the studio has a signal. to. the story to talk about. just maybe right after the morris explorers one who would have their new. record. to say what the hell. both a less room and told them to sophie and co i'm sophie shevardnadze and today i woke up lots to talk about in our program and our guest is. the uk head of.

people criticize us or they questioned us on the want to know why we're not more booked for nickel of russia the real question is how come we're not shooting 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 are costly 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 there. today there are four million students studying abroad a trend that's on the rise in the game of global competition international students are very much coveted the best research graduates are entirely taken care of as for the huge number of students that can afford studying abroad they represent an irresistible financial honeypot the expression global student market has become a household term among university head offices. in france and germany

foreign students don't pay tuition fees just yet but it changes soon to come in england they contribute fourteen billion euros ten billion pounds a year to the national economy a foreign student pays between twenty and thirty thousand euros a year twice as much as the european student and it represents an additional consumer in the country a dream client. so the university of manchester house about ten thousand international students which is the most of any u.k. university or there was a percentage it's not the highest so those students are important to us for a number of reasons they bring diversity they bring different cultures they bring different backgrounds different ways of thinking our own students benefit from studying in an environment with students from very different backgrounds of course they also bring income to the university which is important the largest community is chinese students which make up.
