international thank you for joining us. the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o has been grilled by senators over president trump's recent summit with blood in me person. has the president told you what he and president putin discuss in their two hour closed door meeting in helsinki did you did he tell you did the president at this meeting call upon president putin to withdraw from crimea and eastern ukraine where did the president say we're going to change our force structure in syria going to do what took place you speak to the translator do you seen any of her notes that the president discussed relaxed relaxing u.s. sanctions on russia and i understood senator i understand the game that you're playing now and you know mr secretary with all due respect i don't appreciate you characterizing my questions my pompei of face some tough questioning in the senate foreign relations committee he was essentially forced into revealing a secret deal made between trump and putin just last week in helsinki but in

general comp a i held his ground occasionally snapping back once or twice to assure everyone that trump did not show any weakness but let's check out what else happened are prochoice by the same steadily raise the cost of aggression with aggression the two of lattimer putin chooses a less confrontational foreign policy otherwise the administration will continue imposing tough actions against russia in response to its malign activities and i personally made clear to the russians that will be severe consequences for interference in our democratic processes and helsinki we sought to explore whether russia was interesting and we're proving our relationship but made clear that the ball is in russia's court pompei also reiterated that trump does agree with the intelligence community that russia did hack a b. twenty sixteen election but his sentiments last week were a bit different i have president putin he just said it's not russian i will say this i don't see any reason why it would be there was no collusion at all it was a clean campaign i beat hillary clinton easily and frankly the summit led to total

hysteria in the us the media called trump a traitor a crime one stooge putin's puppet and some even accused him. of treason let's take a look at what other politicians had to say about trump instead of standing up for our democracy and democratic principles president trump cowered in the presence of putin it was a ho sale betrayal of the values and interests of this country president sided with the enemy and with the perpetrator of the election interference i try trisect is unable to confront russia after helsinki trump invited putin to d.c. for another summit however another wave of hysteria ensued but just an hour before pompei is scheduled testimony john bolton trumps national security advisor announced that the summit would be postponed and this comes after the highly publicized moller investigation into alleged russian meddling and it's also worth mentioning that it's been postponed until after midterm elections which apparently

will definitely be influenced by russia and believe it or not trump joined in i'm very concerned that russia will be fighting very hard to have an impact on the upcoming election based on the fact the new president has been tough from russia to me they will be pushing very hard for the democrats they definitely don't want trump but is trump being genuine while it looks like he's just trying to calm the domestic storm but we'll just have to see what happens when human and labor rights lawyer done cover leaks in this trial postponed his second summit with putin to to the pressure from the senate. well i mean to me it's clear that the pressure is worked i mean all this these claims about treason him being traitorous worked to pressure him to back off normalizing relations with russia i believe this is being done in the interest of continuing the u.s. on a permanent war footing and wasting trillions of dollars on wars and military equipment

that we don't need and russia is an excuse for that meanwhile i do want to point out though while pundits and politicians have criticized for the meeting he actually got a bit of a bump in the polls after meeting with pope. a serious of islamic state attacks in southwest syria have killed at least two hundred fifteen people r.t. arabic reports. that i learned that the security has been strengthened in some way to province after a series of terror attacks that currently were on the square near the market where in the morning a suicide bomber blew himself up in a crowd of people there are stalls all around people were shopping we can still see the puddles of blood and the body parts not far from here there's a square and a residential area where two are the suicide bombers trying to blow themselves up some alternately iceland carried out a massive offensive in the northeastern part of this way to prominence and they

managed to take control of several villages but the syrian army that managed to free the territories with support from the locals but not before is still had killed and taken several people hostage as well as two houses in the area. the two suicide bombers in the marketplace were shot dead by security forces a third was arrested before they could detonate their explosive devices the string of attacks comes as president assad's forces advance against eisel that's in swayed a province near the front here with the israeli controlled golan heights damascus based correspondent mohammed ali has more. if we look at the reasons behind such an attack at this time it's because the syrian army is launching an offensive against in particular in the southern part of syria particularly inside the country side of this where there are also in a valley northwest of better idea of the army has been carrying out military operations against us and recently there have been advances significant advances

for the syrian government forces over there of course backed by russian air force all of the province is now secured except for about less than six percent which is are now under the control of the action the army is aiming to secure there also some areas some small towns and villages that the army is working on securing whether militarily or via reconciliation deals with syria analysts believes despite the surge and i selectively see the group is almost defeated this is probably one of the last last chapters that we are going to see of die this is not a new tactic isn't new we think this happened to alleviate pressure on the last in cliff in southern syria which is the. base of the southwest of dar southwest of syria so the point of the matter is alleviate pressure on the forces of die in the more brazen it's a different tactic and now it's more of a they're trying to be clever and so on but again we're probably seeing the last

chapters of this particular group. when we were in iraq islamic state is also waging a guerrilla campaign of kidnapping and killing this comes seven months after the iraqi prime minister declared victory over the extremist group government security advisor his. the number of terror attacks in iraq doubled from may to june. and. in june the ice all militant stepped up their activity according to government data there were eighty three cases where the doctors and killed civilians that's twice the number in may when i saw had been devastated by the government military crackdown. when we asked the iraqi interior ministry for comment and are waiting to hear back from them r.t. is what our guest here now looks at the changing nature of the terror threat in iraq. it took very neatly the entire world united to defeat isis caliphate didn't syria and iraq they did it they destroyed the

caliphate albeit at a huge cost and proclaim victory some did more proclaiming than others because to defeat us has liberated very close to one hundred percent of the terror but done a great job with those as we have just absolutely decimated isis just absolutely obliterated isis in iraq a case of celebrating a little early isis was never beaten and they lost the battles but the war's far from over they've gone back to basics hit and run raids assassinations insurgency terror but. there is still some fear it's possible for groups of militants to go into houses and slaughter entire families if you were there you probably know want to stay if i were to go back who would protect me or my family they would just come over and slaughter us and forces in the camp to protect their

lives in iraq isis has gone on the ground this area of iraq has colloquially become known as the triangle of death because of this new insurgency. they operate in small groups half a dozen jarvis that moves making it incredibly difficult to track them down. because remember there are still a few i saw a sleeper cells hidden in places such as the desert the forests on the islands of the river and among civilians few sleeper cells doesn't do it justice kidnappings killings have sawed as much as ten fold in just a few months and iraqi government advisor told us they target officials plan. bombs set up think roadblocks and murder will then vanish sometimes

with prisoners. the families children of these soldiers that were kidnapped by isis begged the government for help to find whoever kidnapped them to secure their release anything they got nothing and went on its own i mean those are the men who protected the prime minister the minister of health and many other things source this is their reward for this service been dumped here on the floor. some of the hostages were found dead their bodies mutilated likely tortured before death their corpses rigged with explosives and the government's afraid afraid of people finding out how bad it's becoming. iraqi state media is staying silent about the kidnapping of so as not to spread panic can hinder the government's rescue the number of ice or kidnappings the surge since me now the special forces do not have enough resources to hundred militants down is there

hiding out in remote mountainous areas i still have managed to find sources of funding in the so-called triangle of death they terrorize the locals hundreds of villages in that area have been depopulated but now the terrorists use them as military bases jails and commando units iraq is a crossroads it learned to level the cities to defeat isis caliphate but that doesn't work anymore isis is an idea of zealotry fanaticism it's also an outlet for desperation for violence for blood thirst and ideas of the harvest the wall to kill. emanuel my car has lashed out at france's media over its handling of the scandal involving his top security aide the french president said he was taking responsibility for his bodyguard who attacked a protest or charlotte do bensky picks up the story. well in the last week french

media has been in a complete frenzy over this scandal which emerged involving top security aide alexander. well but now has since been sacked and on tuesday we heard for the first time what president much more made of he said two groups of his deputies a lot of public amash the buck stops with him that he and only he was to blame but then he turned around and then laid the blame at the press in the way that they covered this story essentially saying that the press in commentate is acting like the judiciary and we're not looking to seek out the truth we have media that no

longer seeks the truth the images are they showing with the design it's uncover the truth to present facts in a balanced manner. i see media policy want to become judicial ones well we know the president might call on president trump of the united states have been pretty chummy for a long time but it seems now that president michel might be taking a leaf out of gold from books in the way that he deals with the mainstream media we know that donald trump has been at war with the mainstream media since before he was even elected so you know that is fake news i don't take questions from i'm against the people that make up stories the level of dishonesty is out of control very think the fake news those who want to talk about a buzz feed which is a failing pile of garbage writing it i think they're going to suffer the consequences i'm not going to give you a question you are fake well some may think it's not the best idea for a president not going to follow in the footsteps of

a. president trump we also know that president michael's approval ratings have dropped since this scandal emerged now the russian media has long been familiar with criticism and being under fire for president but it now seems that that boy and that criticism is extending out to all media outlets in france. journalist and elisabeth with a thing the smirk or is trying to shift the blame despite taking responsibility for the scandal reverts to the usual attitude of politicians when they are caught on something too late and he accuses the media that existed before trump to hold the deduction from shihad did that in france we've seen this before it's not especially a trump special specialty so we can expect something to do this government but this certainly is the first time that this government has taken a wrong footed in the media spin situation up till now they did very well the media

love them and they just let this elapse for a week and that's completely uncharacteristic of. the e.u. and the us have agreed to work together to qataris under ford a trade war that was announced after a meeting between european commission chief younker and old trump in washington this was a very big day for free and fair trade we have identified a number of areas in which to work together. on the industrial goods that was my main intention. well under the agreements the two sides will seek to cut or eliminate import taxes trade barriers and most subsidies in addition the you will expand its imports of u.s. liquefied natural gas and certain food items in may the trunking ministrations slap tariffs on steel and aluminum coming from european countries and the year responded

with counter measures well before the meeting trump gave a blunt assessment of america's trade with its allies terrorists are the greatest either a country which is treat the united states unfairly and trade negotiates a fair deal or gets hit with tariffs it's as simple as that and everybody's talking remember we're the piggy bank that's being robbed or will be great max kaiser host of r.t. show the kaiser report says trump's tough approach to trade negotiations appears to be paying off. did trump just roll over john claude younker and get concessions almost immediately the answer is yes well john claus younker is is a surrender monkey he came to d.c. and he surrendered the white flag was waved and he gets nothing and is going to get used to this because this is going to happen every few months he's going to have to surrender more and more and more the u.s.

is in the house america is back with john claude younger obviously at the e.u. is used to being kind of a very slow moving bureaucrat with no accountability whatsoever he's not elected he will say anything but generally that means nothing. if the deal is not the ink on the contract has to drive for us to say that there is a deal. former cricket star imran khan is on course to become pakistan's new prime minister according to a partial vote count from wednesday's general election comes p.t.i. party has a clear lead so far with one hundred ten seats out of two hundred seventy two in parliament the rival p n is training with sixty eight seats and has already rejected the result is rigged the party is led by former prime minister now i shall be free was serving a prison sentence for corruption he claims the military interfered in the election

to get khan into office before the votes in iran can spread to r.t. about the challenges his country is facing. it is probably the biggest crisis financial crisis never was there such a fiscal deficit never was there such a huge trade deficit and never were the institutions in such a bad state as there in pakistan the way forward is immediate reformation of our state institutions of our regulators for financial regulators of the corruption ward watchdog. we need peace stability we need good relations and we certainly do need good relationship with the us u.s. is a superpower cannot be ignored unfortunately our relationship has been very one sided in the past the relationship has been whether you were us as used by this time as

a hired gun so we are paid to do their work you know to to fight their war the u.s. has looked upon pakistan as an ally or once point and then as an enemy had the same tone so it's the only time in history i can recall where an ally keeps bombing its ally i mean the drawings were bombing killing pakistani pakistani people local journalist and political analyst javid rana says khan's campaign promises have been winning people's hearts. they. have been appealing for the hook up they have been asking for work early this radical parties have been asking for root but . agenda after many. sounded radical. police drastic because they were to bring fundamental children impact a sound system of particularly devout to get a death corruption and i think that was the reason the petition after

a manhunt was accepted well the highest court of pakistan and we were first disqualifying them literally and he could do to them any more than charges so let's see what is going to happen but it appears the trend is obviously the flipping the broadcast party is going to ruin his manifesto probably has got among the people. the election day was marred by a suicide bombing in southeast pakistan which killed thirty one people this happened there a polling station in the city of quetta despite a heavy police presence and some stations claimed responsibility javid rana says the terrorist group will do anything to derail the democratic process in pakistan. well it was adopted on a blue screen while the basic object to the reason they are targeting is could be wrong to deal with the democratic process in pakistan which is nissen to nature. don't believe in the democrats she went to jail is the only food i think that is

a part of the reason their group decided to disrupt the system did try to create a sense of real among those that wish you good guy member of the administration. prosecutors in the case of maria booted accused of being a russian agent in the u.s. say the evidence against amounts to around one of the half million documents most of them were collected from her laptop and mobile phones the judge in the case threatened to impose a gagging order to prevent the evidence being leaked to the media or any third party as attorney says it's taking prosecutors too long to hand over the evidence even expressed intent to apply for a dismissal of charges and for the case to be thrown out entirely. were able to know is charged with conspiracy to defraud the u.s. and her working covertly as a foreign agent something she strongly denies the hype over the alleged russian spy was fueled on twitter when one journalist found that she'd apparently visited trump

in the oval office and she's been plenty of other places too.

criminal defense lawyer douglas mcnabb says it's unlikely they will be granted bail . by the state's federal magistrate judge which is a judge that hearers and mitchell. detention hearings has made the determination that she is miss bikini is a flight risk the government has a very low burden to show that she's a flight risk that is the evidence which is a civil standard so it's not very high now that the defense and rightly so is going to appeal that decision and asked the district court judge that is the trial judge to review that decision and perhaps the trial judge can can fashion

some conditions that were released but i doubt that that's going to happen i expect this but we've seen it to the state detained pending trial. devastating wildfires in greece have claimed the lives of at least eighty people with dozens more missing several villages have been destroyed in the region surrounding athens these are the latest pictures from the seaside resort of motti which has been the worst his entire families have been killed in the disaster which is one of the most deadly in the country's history the flames have been spreading rapidly over the past forty eight hours with gale force winds frequently changing direction and hampering the firefighting effort and so far unknown how the play started but officials say arson is suspected. well for more on these and plenty of other stories that go to our website otherwise i'll be back with the latest headlines at the top of the hour see you again.
