broadcast. is r t international thomas certainly glad to have you with us just as the dust settled on the trumpet 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 confirmed his intention to meet vladimir putin again. second meeting potentially with your 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 got along very well i think i have a good relationship with you. well russia's ambassador to the u.s. says the kremlin is open to such and vent patients although moscow has yet to give
12:02 am
an official response or to go followed the historic helsinki talks force. well 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
12:03 am
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. 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
12:04 am
people working on the case come and work with their investigators with. to the twelve people i think that's an incredible. with an intelligence of some myself and i do know how compiled it is 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 analysts were of course looking for any detailed signs from the leaders behavior during their meeting in finland and some think that their handshakes spoke volumes we asked a 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 very aware that his whole country is looking at him and trying to interpret what is
12:05 am
really going on between these two leaders and it's with that that he enters the room and he faces he faces what seems to be an opponent so 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 divorcing 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
12:06 am
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. 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
12:07 am
the summit as well. american president has however altered his stance on just a few things one day after he had been maintaining his position on vladimir putin's noninvolvement over alleged election natalie. 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
12:08 am
the election of twenty six and i would say that that is true but you haven't come to specifically do you hold him personally responsible while i work because he's in charge of the time anyway here is russia don't start 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
12:09 am
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 lawyers said that the special counsel's office was offered the opportunity to interview were 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 interests organization detention paid to the story was fueled on twitter where one journalist found out that apparently she had visited donald trump in the oval office and reportedly she's been to plenty of other places as well.
12:10 am
12:11 am
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 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
12:12 am
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 this kind of should 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 the russians thereat it again even they don't know what the it is that they're adding it 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 that the allegations of collusion with russia are baseless 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. well trump didn't give any evidence for
12:13 am
his claims his tweets came in response to the f.b.i. releasing the documents it used to obtain a final 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 for believing so are not 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 allege 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 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 for
12:14 am
a political commentator gina told us she doesn't believe that there were sufficient grounds for the surveillance of carter page. there has been nothing no one indicted no evidence whatsoever of any sort of collusion you know the media has started to conflate meddling and collusion 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 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 dossier 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 this
12:15 am
story and the fact that there's zero evidence zero indictments based on anything even close to collusion. u.s. secretary of state might pump castigated the iranian government in a speech to the iranian design community on sunday he described it as corrupt and mafia like and outlined the ways in which washington is putting pressure on tehran. right now the united states is undertaking a diplomatic and financial pressure campaign to cut off the funds that the regime uses to enrich itself in support death and destruction right now for u.s. border broadcasting board of governors taking new steps to help iranians get around internet censorship as well to b.g. is launching a new twenty four seven four c. language t.v. channel that will span 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.
12:16 am
the speech comes as part of an alleged campaign to undermine the iranian government . the reuters news agency says sources in the u.s. government have told us that there is a drive actively supported by palm paid to consistently portray tehran's leadership in a negative light that's on top of attempts to weaken iran so cami through the use of sanctions the might pump aoe has repeatedly posted tweets criticizing iran's domestic policies and accused its government of destabilizing the region by supporting extremist groups has also said that iranians are fed up with corrupt and incompetent leaders and that their frustration fueled the mass protests in december and january 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
12:17 am
engage in a mine activities the senior iranian official contacted by the news agency dismissed the campaign saying it's destined to fail and on sunday the iranian president warned donald trump against straight up conflict with iraq america should know that peace with iran is the model for all peace and war with iran the mother of all wars former u.s. diplomat jim john trust please washington wants to see a radical shift in the way iran is governed. i think the symbolism of giving this speech at the reagan library was that he was drawing an analogy to the fall of communism and somehow. he says regime change is not the goal but frankly from what he describes it's 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 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. when. the israeli prime minister has said that his country initiated the evacuation of a controversial white helmets group from syria at the request of donald trump and other western allies. if there be one hundred several days to go and trump contacted me as did canadian prime minister true and requests. to hundreds of white helmets from syria these are people who saved lives and whose lives were in danger for i proved the passage through israel to other countries is 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
12:19 am
forces have launched an offensive against militants in the south of the country where members of the group are located. upon request of the u.s. canada and european states israel has completed a humanitarian effort to rescue members of a syrian civil organization 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 request where he came several weeks ago at this belonging to the white helmets consider themselves rescuers 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 west 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
12:20 am
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 of 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
12:21 am
the white helmets convoy arrived in the town of italy 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 house have been evacuated from the region we cannot rule out the possibility of a large here 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 nation 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 evacuation comes as the syrian army advances along the country's southern border with jordan the area has long been held by western backed militants seeking to overthrow president assad unless a billy who is an independent investigative journalist wonders why the white helmets are more privileged when it comes to evacuation than ordinary syrian
12:22 am
civilians. this is an exceptional evacuation it's an exceptional evacuation for an exceptional organization created by the exceptional leste regime 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 home in fact curated 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 supposedly going to host them. at least twenty people have been reportedly lynched in the past two months across india
