the u.s. president's national security adviser confirms the second summit has been postponed until after the russia witch hunt is over meanwhile donald trump would interfere in the upcoming elections to help his rivals the democratic russian meddling remains as divisive and he was never speak here late. in the way that osama bin ladin meddled with the world trade center. i. on the tenth annual brics summit of emerging economies is underway in south africa with american trade on the agenda.

but i welcome she's gone five pm here in moscow you're watching the international. u.s. national security advisor john bolton has confirmed a second meeting between donald trump putin will only take place after the end of what he called the russia which comes after the secretary of state was grilled in the senate say with the recent meeting in helsinki between the. has the president told you what he and president putin discuss in their two hour closed door meeting and did you did he tell you or should we be doing as you put it everything we can to push back on likely election interference by russia 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 notice that the president discussed relax relaxing u.s. sanctions on russia i understand senator i understand the game that you're playing

now i know 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 calm pale held his ground occasionally snapping back once or twice to assure everyone that trump did not show any weakness or approach has been the same to steadily raise the cost of aggression with aggression until vladimir 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 make clear to the russians that will be severe consequences for interference in our democratic processes in helsinki we sought to explore whether russia was interesting in reproving 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 the summit led to total hysteria in the u.s. the media called trump a traitor a crime one stooge putin's puppet and some even accused him of treason and. 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 treacherous act 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 a scheduled testimony john bolen trumps national security advisor announced that the summit would be postponed john bowen explained the decision citing the current political climate as the main reason saying that the meeting should take place after the quote russia witch hunt is over so this decision appears to be a move to calm down his domestic critics it's clear that the pressure has worked i mean all this these claims about treason and 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 us on a permanent war footing and wasting trillions of dollars on wars and military equipment that we don't need to and russia is an excuse for that. does face a major test of his presidency like to be here in the guise of made to measure that christians they are widely seen as a vote of confidence in any administration that is ati's kind of more pain i

explains whether it's republicans or democrats us politicians do seem to know in advance who's to blame if the results don't go that way. it was so much division on capitol hill the democrats and republicans have finally found something that they can agree on both parties now agree that the russians are coming more specifically they're coming to interfere in the twenty eight teen mid-term elections this is president trump i'm very concerned that russia will be fighting very hard to have an impact in the upcoming election. based on the front the new president has been tougher on russia than me they will be pushing very hard for the democrats they definitely don't want trump and this is his old arch nemesis there are some checks experts in silicon valley valley with whom i have met who say that you know maybe what they'll do this next time is to really disrupt the actual election shut down the servers that you send results to interfere with the operation of voting

machines because still too many of them are linked to the internet so there we are still very vulnerable russia's meddling in the midterm elections may just be a hypothesis at this point but the trumpet ministration from the department of homeland security to the secretary of state are ready to fight the two thousand and eighteen midterm elections remain a potential target for russian cyber and influence operations i think we should be absolutely prepared to assume that they will try to interfere in all fifty states we will not tolerate russian interference in our two thousand and eighteen elections we are planning and preparing as if they'll try again this fall and beyond now it hasn't happened yet but the retaliate tory sanctions to be imposed on russia are all set up by congress we're going to pursue russia's energy and financial sectors which overgaard its parastatal and it is my go along with senator graham to make sure that we're protecting the united states the spending the united

states folks in washington d.c. are manning their battle stations all prepared to face an on coming on slot but what are they worried about well it could be the twenty sixteen presidential elections let's not forget that james clapper the former director of national intelligence said that in the twenty sixteen supposed intervention none of the vote tallies were in any way affected they did not change any votes kelley's or anything of that sort we had no we have no way of gauging. the impact that sort of the intelligence committee can't gauge the impact it had on the choices you looked through me furthermore it's not exactly clear who russia is supposedly going to be supporting now the democrats say that russia is going to be supporting donald trump but trump says that the pending kremlin subversion will be in support of the democrats why would he say that well because it makes just as what sense is what

the democrats it was true everybody wants to blame another country for the problem you know the reason why thirty million americans don't have health care is nothing to do with russia that has everything to do with the enemies of america which by the way are in america acts on the military industrial complex these are the enemies of america are tired government is bought it's legal bribery and they steal and cheat right out in the open americans car gobbling this up it's amazing you know we used to be afraid of russia because they had a communist ideology they're just kind of pressing that button on americans because we've been conditioned to be afraid of russia and they're communism even though they're not communists anymore this will all be cleared up after the election whichever side loses can blame russia for it and after all it worked in the twenty sixteen presidential election for hillary clinton there is no reason that donald trump can't use it to his advantage kaleb up and r.t. washington d.c.

well we legal media and this line illinois democratic political consultant richard could see why the hue of russian meddling is proving to be so divisive liberal politicians frequently blame russia for various things as well if you believe that's the real cause of the problems in the u.s. still there are other divisions what do you think. look i don't think people are blaming russia for anything that happens in the united states other than what our intelligence community concluded unanimously which with which it's the russians attacked the united states to mock or see in the way that they. meddled frankly makes it look kind of pity. kind of really kind of piddly. it's meddling in the way that osama bin laden meddled with the world trade center that was an attack dick cheney. fan of generally our head said that what our obligations did was an act leak was of war against united states so so again but i think we should

segment that out i think i think what happened i'd say it's whether it's racial bias or you know in inequality in terms of incomes that's not because of anybody from russia doing that or are little holidays that we're creating ourselves you didn't let me down. yet and i have parked i am my friend comparing osama bin ladin with the plunger russians buying facebook ads which brought down the entire election not because your gal the other than mad fashion east lost a rigged election. but because the nefarious russians and the lead is this necessary as cabal did cram lang how to get in there with you there was some hall. well listen to me let me say yeah there was a whole thing out yesterday that by fifty four to forty one percent americans

across the board think that donald trump is not standing up for u.s. interests most people in the united states think that putin has the goods some dirt on trump so it's not just me this is what the public thinks look we live in an era right now where we love to. out me take something where you have a legitimate right to be upset but if you can really turn it up if you could. scream if you can demand and require a screaming room and a petting dog a vivid how led and show this absolute out of control histrionics maybe somebody will pick up on that so i think that there are segments of this country that used to be the majority that see what they feel is their country slipping away from them the country you know within

a few decades is going to be majority nonwhite and i do think that people here more so than was true ten or twenty years ago read and talk to and watch on television points of view that are just like there are so when they are exposed to something that's different they take offense because they think everybody that they deal with things like they do and when they hear something that's different it puts them off do we have to remind folks what this country was like in the fifty's with the lynchings with separate bathrooms with african-americans who couldn't even sit at a lunch counter civil rights violations this is peaches and grain compared to what this country sad to say was in the past so if you think things are worse now than it was fifty years ago sixty years ago you need to review your history. well again i don't disagree i don't i don't compare people taking offense. flight

today to lynching why do people feel slighted by something that maybe they would have let go. you know i think that there is again so much awareness in a way that today there was the there used to be decades ago when we didn't have the mass media people can kind of aggregate to themselves and basically decide well we're right and that person who acted in a way that we don't approve of is wrong and that somehow or other that if uses people's thinking there is a heightened everything today not to not to say that people don't have a right in many cases to be upset but everything is overdone because you're not going to get media attention if you act reasonably and proportionately. like we have now u.s. trade war so high on the agenda of this year's tenth anniversary brick summit russian president vladimir putin has delivered his speech at the end gathering the

world's top emerging economies comprising of russia brazil india china and south africa as you can see ton of reports now from the summit in johannesburg. we're kind of midway through the main day of the summit that is of course today the leaders of the world's leading developing economies have signed already a joint declaration of the summit and now well basically the talks between them is in full swing the trade wars are definitely in focus here in johannesburg us rule breaks were created with the idea of being a counterbalance to traditional powerhouses economic powerhouses mainly the united states now trumps policy on trade has been very offensive he's been imposing tariffs and threatening with tariffs and he has become sort of a tool a diplomatic tool in his hands so now we've already seen brics nations kind of bonding even closer together in the face of this new challenge that they're facing and the experts that we've talked to that i've talked to at this summit this point

as a smaller market we thought we started to actually be the most hurt in these trade wars and it's actually quite put an end that we consider what what will the brics the come we have had moments for the united states was the protection of multilateralism and now it's actually the countries that have emerged protecting a rules based international order and there has been a bit of a figment of cooperation between the brics countries and the w t o and this is a an opportune moment for the pics countries to actually come together put their heads together and the strategic about how they will actually corporates and i do expect a bit of cord nation with just not the countries in expansion the small economies if you look at our portfolio of businesses and we took a step back and we actually found out that ninety percent of our revenue comes from brics countries sort of more unilateral as a peer in particular from from the united states i think it brings together of these great growth nations and i think together you can achieve so much so here in

south africa it's business and politics going together hand in hand somewhat a decade ago skeptics were looking at the brakes and they couldn't really pinpoint the purpose of the book as they viewed the you know. it states as these sort of a hub nation that would bring smaller economies together well now what is happening the aggressive stance toward trade in washington is scaring and is causing concern among businesses and among emerging markets and so ironically now they turn towards brics. it's just gone a quarter past five here in moscow i will be back with more news in a couple minutes it's. everywhere in the world my guess is that probably just about everywhere women expect men to make that first move and here we are in an age where men are scared to make the first move don't know how to make the first move don't know what the right to make the first low.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten thousand dollars fine tamping each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent minus minus two years some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one just shows you can't afford to miss the one can only. come back not be pretty shame secretary has commissioned a study into the profiles of child abuse is among the characteristics to be

considered is the country of origin of the perpetrators. my fishers have been working with investigating officers in relevant cases to establish the particular characteristics and contexts associated with this type of offending we're looking at what this data set can tell us about characteristics of offenders victims and the way to context of abuse all of which have a critical bearing on the effective targeting of prevention activity. for details and i've been down hawkins who joins us from our u.k. bureau good afternoon again dan just run through the main thinking man behind this study well it's a topic of attracted widespread anger condemnation discussion and debate in the u.k. rather on rossdale peterborough bristol halifax the list goes on and on of these sorts of grooming scandals this is the first time though as you said there that a government in office or home secretary office has ordered an investigation

specifically and one of quickly into the racial background the ethnicity of the victims and of perpetrators it's not the first time the issue has been raised in mainstream politics of course just last year labor m.p. and minister sara champion wrote an article in the sun newspaper condemning what she described as pakistani grooming gangs she received a huge backlash a lot of criticism for that article later being forced to resign and indeed receiving death threats she later received extra police protection as a result of that what strikes me about this whole debate is that we've reached a point in this country and possibly in the west where we can't really talk in a relaxed way about race so this would write something which a lot of people would say is a statement of the bleeding obvious and ends up losing a job or. now a lot of the public and media outcry came from the understanding that the inaction the failings to tackle these horrific crimes came from some sort of misplaced

political correctness fear of stoking tensions raising ethnic tensions offending people etc something raised by other politicians as well. i think there was a culture of not wanting to rock the multicultural community bode if i may put it like that. well this is also come from the horse's mouth itself a police report received released rather quite a number of years ago stated that the police were reluctant to take action to a certain degree because precisely of those issues of provoking some sort of racial backlash prejudice against the wider pakistani community and stoking those kinds of tensions now previously it had often been commentators pundits politicians analysts perhaps on the right wing of the political spectrum baps those have been marginalized that have raised this issue of child grooming and child sexual abuse that over volved perpetrators from a particular overwhelmingly particular asian ethnic group and from victims of

a particular ethnic group now it seems that debate is going more mainstream with the home secretary's orders even more so given him selfe of course has pakistani roots it remains to be seen what the reaction to this will be from the public and from the wider media on both sides of the political spectrum thanks dan there is dan hawkins there with the details in london for us. and other news this evening officials in the syrian province of so way this say that more than two hundred people have been killed in iceland suicide blasts it is said to be the worst violence to hit the area since the conflict in the country began on wednesday another group of suicide bombers attacked the city in the south of the country two were shot dead before they could strike however several other militants managed to set off their explosives eisel is claimed responsibility r.t. arabic correspondent bruni reports. that up to that kind of people are last dad are
