a security crackdown and claims of ballot breaking. thanks for joining us this hour you're watching our international. team of putin of their sights set on a second summit after the landmark talks in helsinki earlier this month on friday the russian leader said that the u.s. president has been invited to moscow and the white house responded saying that trump is open to the idea earlier putin's planned trip to washington was postponed amid intense criticism within the u.s. over trumped handling of the first summit. national security advisor john bolton went to so far as calling it a russia witchhunt and said the washington meeting will not happen until next year while sixty statement pompei it was grilled by senators of what exactly trump said

to putin in helsinki 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 or in eastern europe where did the president say we're going to change our force structure in syria good what took place you speak to the translator that the president discussed relaxed relaxing u.s. sanctions on russia including cats as i understand it i understand the game that you're playing now and you know mr secretary you with all due respect i don't appreciate you characterizing my questions. just over three months from now until trump will face a major test of his presidency in the form of actions is on the scale of open explains one predictable theme is already starting to emerge with so much did there's an 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 fact 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 and 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 mid-term 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 torrie sanctions to be imposed on russia are all set up by congress we're going to pursue russia's energy and financial sectors it's overgaard its parastatal entities it is my goal along with senator graham to make. sure that we're protecting the united states the friend in 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 kelley's or anything new in its work because you know we had a new we had no way of gauging. the impact that sort of the intelligence community can't gauge the impact it had on the choices that 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 has 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 guard 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 their 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 caleb oppen r. t. washington d.c. . well the meddling story continues to be hugely divisive the views of legal and media analyst political consultant richard good sting. liberal politicians frequently blame russia for various things as well do you believe that's the real cause of the problems in the us still there are other divisions what do you think richard. 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 is 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 ira had said that what are the russians did was an act of war against united states so so again but i think we should segment that out i think i think what happened states whether it's racial bias or you know in inequality in terms of incomes that's 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 ladden where the point you're russians buying facebook ads which brought down the entire election not because your gal the oven mitt 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. hall ladan 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 good 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 take something where you have a legitimate right to be upset but. if you can read at least turn it up if you can

. way all in scream if you can demand it 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 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're at reasonably and proportionately.

the palestinian teenager and activist mimi is being released after eight months in a prison in israel but when you're not even going to. do. supporters welcome to a military checkpoint near to calm in the west bank. became an icon for the resistance and the symbol for resistance by young people who refused the procedures and existence of the occupation and challenged this occupation with their bare hands the clash. the circumstances that should leave then cause her to become a symbol for the difficult line israeli actions in the village day night all this mean her raise her voice and reach out to the world. seventeen year old was arrested in december along with several of her relatives she had been filmed slapping and kicking israeli soldiers after her cousin was shot at close range during protests the video of the incident went viral making i had a symbol of the palestinian resistance.

and that's just not right that. was not the case turned the global spotlight on to the detention of palestinian minors by israel a practice that has been criticized by rights groups of some israeli politicians claim that our heads eight months in jail was too lenient to show you so israel acts to mercifully with these types of terrorists israel should treat harshly those who hate the soldiers so we can't have a situation where there is no terror lack of to tears leads to the reality we see now we must change that. israel's actions against the teenager have been condemned by many worldwide and pro palestinian activists the staged protests demanding the release one expression of that support has been

a giant picture of the girl which appeared on the israeli west bank border but the artwork didn't go down well with the israeli authorities. cambodia's incumbent prime minister who has won a landslide victory in the country's general election he sort of a challenge from almost twenty rival parties labor trying to reports from the country's capital. so prime minister who first charge of combo thirty three years

ago will rule the country for another five years final official results won't come out till mid august the only official number that we've received for now is the turnout eighty two percent plus it is still unclear and any of the other nine competing parties will really make it there and when at least a few parliament seats well cambodian politics just ahead of the campaign began to turn absolutely toxic on sunday i was all over polling stations in the capital have a look at that the general election and it is so different from anywhere i've seen people vote this is a polling station by the way. doors

here open at seven in the morning and close just after lunch time at three the party that came second to last on securing almost forty five percent has vanished from the ballots with no success or quite a few things though are way too familiar. cannot stand in cambodia democracy. the prime minister's government simply wants to silence the opposition. collusion meddling cracking down on critics. that is so mainstream before changing the top level we need to improve the low one we need to change the lower level. and the us say that he's assisted me the osce me to take the model from yugoslavia. i have experts university professors in washington d.c.

montreal canada hired by the americans in order to advise me on the strategy to change the leader this that was the year of come bodie as national rescue party runners up and twenty third thing talking once about us backed regime change and so on charges of treason come so it was thrown behind bars last year the government then went after the whole party for what it called conspiring with america so right now there is no such name of c.n. r.p. on that list uncle sam has been trying many tools to scheme and can both like n.g.o.s or foreign media so say local officials that's how they've just defied cracking down on a handful of american funded outlets and groups which include radio free asia or the national democratic institute you team up with the opposition to overthrow the man in charge you leave cambodia that's the gist but never stop theo's want to

continue demolition to topple the government has to be a young boy and you are big boy how can you push down a little boy and you are asking for democracy and human rights so prime minister hussein who first took power more than three decades ago after once losing in ny in combat ended up running for parliament with no mighty enemies on the ballot box battlefield the most daring political opponents of his can vote in people's party have been silenced or jailed another option is to be banned from politics like this former phnom penh city council member from the c.n.n. r.p. to make ends meet he now has to endure the south asian heat driving it took took two and at the minute i don't care about losing power i'm sorry for not being able to serve the people who elected us democracy in cambodia was dead when the government got rid of the opposite. party which represents almost half the country

i say it's time for a prime minister to step down. for peace and development country needs to keep going without any violence or war so we need to consider what happened in ukraine in the middle east in afghanistan where wars started by the us still not over. under the c.b.p. government cambodia shown steady year on year economic growth however it is still among the three poorest countries in the region with a depleted and impoverished country side of a triangle reporting from combat on election day fourteen. europe and the u.s. have struck a deal to avoid a trade war with that story and of this after this break. thank.

our. politicians to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to be. like to be this is what we're before you know more people are. interested always in milwaukee .

tariffs this is basically a stupid process the fact that we have to do this but we have to do we can also do stupid we also have to be this stupid trump just roll over john clarke younker and get concessions almost immediately the answer is yes john clarke younker is is a surrender monkey it came to d.c. and he surrendered the white flag was waved and he gets nothing and is going to eat he has 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 us is in the house america is back john clarke younger obviously at the e.u. is used to being kind of a very slow moving lafarge a bureaucrat 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 after the deal trump posted this tweet expressing love between the two sides and whether relations may not be as rosy as the u.s. president claims to the joint announcement cameras caught refusing to take sound strange hand now despite both having quite a reputation for enthusiastic greetings. oh
