and then there's that shades of the week the mainstream media is left reeling after donald trump ailes monday's summit with. his russian counterpart to the u.s. for a second meeting in the fall. the most disgraceful performances by an american president it's not possible that the president of the united states is inviting putin so let's call it. apparently. there's a real evacuated members of the white helmets rescue group and their families from syria saying that there was an immediate threat to their lives we look at the controversy behind with. these two twenty people are reported killed in incidents of violence. spread
10:01 pm
a fake news. broadcast live. on the week's top stories with our weekly program this is our team international. just as the dust settled on the 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 confirmed his invitation to me to vladimir putin again. second meeting potentially with putin. 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 get along very well i have a good relationship with you russia's ambassador to the u.s. the kremlin is open to such invitations although moscow has yet to give an official
10:02 pm
response 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
10:03 pm
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
10:04 pm
people working on the case come and work with their investigators with the. to the twelve people i think that's an incredible of if it was a little bit 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 frustrated then before the leaders met. well analysts were of course looking for any tell tale signs from the leaders behavior during their meeting in fan london and something their handshakes spoke volumes we asked a body language expert what it 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
10:05 pm
going on between these two leaders and this with that that he enters the room and he faces the faces what seems to be an opponent so you start 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 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
10:06 pm
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 it 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 a less 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 there were plenty of eye opening magazine covers focusing on the summit as well.
10:07 pm
on the american president has however altered his stance on a few things just one day after he had been maintaining his position on glad to be imprudence 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 us intelligence that. russia meddled in
10:08 pm
the election of twenty six and i would say that that is true but you haven't condemned him specifically do you hold him personally responsible while i would because he's in charge of the. running is russia are getting. around 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 why hours after the helsinki summit wrapped up
10:09 pm
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 and is accused of conspiracy to defraud the us and not registering as a foreign agent while promoting russian state interests she has pleaded not guilty to the charges 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 she offered sex in exchange for a job at a u.s. special interest organization detention 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 to report it.
10:11 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 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
10:12 pm
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. israeli prime minister has said that his country initiated the evacuation of the controversial white helots group from syria at the request of donald trump and other western allies. several days ago president trump contacted me as did canadian prime minister trudeau and others and request system evacuating 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. israel evacuated more than four
10:13 pm
hundred members of the group and of their families to may bring jordan after canada britain and germany reportedly agreed to accept at least some of them as refugees and 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 ization 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 request awaited came several weeks ago at this belonging to the white helmets consider themselves rescuers who risk their lives to hope save civilians but the organization remains controversial particularly over
10:14 pm
where its funding comes most of its funding is from the west 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 rush. the foreign ministry said
10:15 pm
that there was concern of a so-called provocations that could happen during such a move but me 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 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 here 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 around the sea of accusation in addition to the evacuation of the white helmets of 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 syria has long been held by western backed militants seeking to overthrow president assad
10:16 pm
unless a billy who is an independent investigative journalist wonders why the white helmets are more privileged when it comes to evacuation than ordinary civilian syrian civilians. this is an exceptional iraqi regime 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 home 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 with israel on the border of jordan while the white house mates are again being given exceptional progress through the. two countries and all
10:17 pm
of. the countries that are supposedly going to house them. donald trump launched a fresh assault on the u.s. justice department and f.b.i. on sunday the president fired off a barrage of tweets claiming the two organizations misled the court to obtain a warrant to surveil one of his former election campaign aides and of that the claims of collusion with russia are fabricated. congratulations to judicial watch and tom fitton on being successful in getting the costs of page feisty documents as usual they ridiculous lee heavily redacted but confirmed with little doubt that the department of justice and the f.b.i. misled the course which on rigs. well trumpet didn't give any evidence for his claims his tweets came in response to the f.b.i. releasing of the document it used to obtain a pfizer warrant to surveil carter page in them the agency alleges that page was a russian agent however given the amount of redaction many of the f.b.i.'s reasons
10:18 pm
for believing so are not really clear. they do reveal though that carter page lived in moscow between two thousand and four and two thousand and seven and in two thousand and sixteen they allegedly he met with senior russian officials to discuss the sanctions on moscow the crisis in ukraine and compromising information about hillary clinton page however denies having been in the kremlin but 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 general told us that she doesn't believe that there were sufficient grounds for the surveillance of credit you. there has been nothing no one indicted no evidence whatsoever of any sort of collusion you know the media has started to conflate
10:19 pm
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 finds the word should be the hardest thing in the world to obtain for the american government to spy on a private american citizen should be the absolute most difficult thing ever certainly if a question does ca should not be a vehicle to a feisty weren't the motivation for the story that the left keeps telling makes absolutely no sense when you consider all of the disconnects that exist in the story and the fact that there is 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 breaking news about kidnappers taking and
10:20 pm
abusing children were spread on social media were also false accusations of organ harvesting and the killing of cows 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 lure of the land the recurrent pattern of violence kemah 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 fake rumors that he was a child kidnapper since the start of may fake news about the child captors was has filled what's app chance is probably boyko reports. 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 very big news in your facebook page
10:21 pm
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 q still flinching 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
10:22 pm
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 boy is 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 an 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
10:23 pm
counts if a 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 you still have almost even before leaving them enough but the one used to believe the little i used it and it is not strictly on the region but knowing what was once in a large semblance of the skill of these going to be much bigger than average is much higher than most people when countries have this problem besides the raising of information you know more of. that it is the centralization and creating chaos and also the sense of mission that it can so the voices definitely is one of the victims of this news phenomenon that is going to be it's going to see not only go to the east of say you're 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 these facts. that.
10:24 pm
the u.s. secretary of state might pompei o castigated the iranian regime in a speech to the iranian american community in california on sunday describing it as corrupt and kleptocratic during his address and he also outlined washington's plans to finance a new persian language t.v. channel as part of an apparent push to undermine the tehran government. but now the united states is undertaking a diplomatic and financial pressure can pay to cut off the funds that the regime uses to enrich itself and support death and destruction right now are u.s. border broadcasting board of governors taking new steps to help iranians get around internet censorship as well the. new twenty four seven for c. language t.v. channel that will expand not only television but radio digital and social media format so that ordinary iranians inside of iran and around the globe can know that america stands with them.
10:25 pm
well a speech comes as part of an alleged campaign to actively destabilize the government in tehran the reuters news agency cites several u.s. government officials as saying the drive seeks to paint iran's leaders and a negative light attempts are also being made to weaken iran's economy through sanctions and my pump has repeatedly made tweets criticizing iran's domestic policies and accused its government of undermining regional stability he has also said that corruption and excessive military spending have been causing protests in the country here's how a state department official commented on the campaign to reuters let me be clear we're not seeking regime change we're seeking changes in the iranian government's behavior we know we're driving around to make some hard choices either they can change their ways or find it increasingly difficult to engage in emmeline activities a senior iranian official contacted by the news agency dismissed the
10:26 pm
campaign saying it will fail and on sunday the iranian president warned against stirring up conflict with iran america should know that peace with iran is the mother of all peace and war with iran the mother of all wars. had to discuss this further i am joined now by jim john tresses a media specialist and former u.s. diplomat himself jim thanks for being with us here in our to international q. so we just heard pump aoe talking about new farsi language t.v. channel by be be broadcasting for iran so do you believe that this tool will be powerful in reaching u.s. aims. i'm not sure it will i think the symbolism of giving this speech at the reagan library was that he was drawing an analogy to the the fall of communism and somehow that he says regime change is not the goal but frankly from what he
10:27 pm
describes it it seems to me that it amounts to regime change would have to be an entirely different mode of governance in iran from what he describes to satisfy what he laid out so i think he's basically saying that we want to support a popular movement to bring down the ayatollah as regime in the same way that communism fell in soviet union in the eastern bloc and that radio broadcasting would be a catalyst for that. so apart from the new media outlet mentioned that they are asking all the countries to join america and their effort to deal with the iranian regime and interesting thought but. you can can we actually call this a campaign i mean reuters writes about that it is you know how does this correlate really. it i think it was very heavy on describing problems internally largely with iran political repression corruption economic problems some of which i have no doubt are quite true although i couldn't help comparing mentally
10:28 pm
and many cases that yes in saudi arabia is ten times worse but nobody's talking about sanctioning they were changing their regime. but it terms of what we're going to do about it was already on the thin side of radio broadcasting and of course more sanctions i think it was largely aimed at the europeans as we know we're already turning the screws on the europeans with regard to new sanctions on iran and and i think that's who israel audience was even more than the iranian american community so if we go to what the president said rouhani said that peace with iran is the mother of all peace and that war with iran is the mother of all wars does that leave a possibility for peace in any way i mean it seems that we're kind of going beyond regular saber rattling here. well i think that remains to be seen let's remember some of the harsh rhetoric it was use regarding north korea and then it turns out we all play sweetness and light now be with after the or the trump comedian now
10:29 pm
maybe we'll go back to savor rattling but it looks like that was partly a warming up or softening up the target for something more conciliatory that could be the case here or as many people claim this can be a replay of iraq then so much so many of the same people that were beating the drums for war with iraq in two thousand and two two thousand and three are playing exactly the same song now with respect to iran i don't think we really know which way this is going to go on right jim josh it's always interesting to hear your thoughts i mean if it's we're talking in the sound check if it's not one thing it's always another but we're glad you're here to help us sort through every adult moment all right thanks for being with us all right you are watching our team international we will be back in about oh let's say thirty minutes with another full look your weekly stay with us you're watching our team trash.
