a ballot rigging. i'm kate partridge and you're watching the weekend headlines here at r.t. international thank you for joining us. donald trump and let him a persian have set their sights on a second meeting after their landmark summit in helsinki earlier this month on friday the russian leaders said the u.s. president has been invited to moscow and the white house responded saying trump is open to the idea putin's planned trip to washington was postponed i made intense criticism within the u.s. over trump's handling of the first summit. well national security adviser john bolton went as far as calling it a russia witch hunt and said the washington meeting will not happen until next year meanwhile secretary of state might pump aoe was grilled by senators i will 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 and 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 the president discuss relaxed relaxing u.s. sanctions on russia including cats as i understood senator i understand the game you're playing now you know mr secretary with all due respect i don't appreciate you characterizing my questions i just had the three months donald trump will face a major test of his presidency with the midterm elections and caleb maupin 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 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 it's overgaard it's parastatal and 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 of that sort we had no we have no way of gauging. the impact that certainly until you 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 with 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 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 i gone at the. media around this line and political consultant which it did state liberal politicians frequently blame russia for various things as well if you believe that's the real cause of the problems in the us how there are other divisions what do you think

rich and. 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 of 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 our actions 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 our little holiday is 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 other than made fashion east lost a rigged election. but because the nefarious rice and and the lead is this necessary as cabal did cram lang how to get in there with you there was some hall. 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 have me take something where you have a legitimate right to be upset but. if you can really turn it up if you can how.

old and scream if you can demand and require a screaming room and a petting dog a vivid how lead 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 act reasonably and proportionately.

palestinian teenage girl political activist had to mimi has been released after eight months in an israeli prison but what she was going to. do the judiciary. supporters welcomed her at a military checkpoint 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 challenge this will keep patients with their hands in the class . the circumstances that should leave them cause her to become a symbol for the difficult life israeli actions in the village they nights on this mean her raise her voice and reach out to the world. the seventeen year old was arrested in december along with several of her relatives she'd been filmed slapping and kicking israeli soldiers after her cousin was shot at close range during protests a video of the incident went viral making a head

a symbol of the palestinian resistance. no. no no. no no no we're not going to hurt. the case turns the global spotlight on the detention of palestinian children by israel practice that has been criticized by rights groups however some israeli politicians claim ahead eight months in jail is too lenient. is relaxed to mercifully with these types of terrorists israel should treat harshly those who hate its soldiers we can't have a situation where there is no terence lack of deterrence leads to the reality we see now we must change that. however israel's actions against the teenager have been condemned by many world wide and pro palestinian activists have staged protests demanding her release. one expression of support has been

a giant picture of the girl which appeared on the israeli west i'm border though the artwork didn't go down well with the israeli also refuse. cambodia's incumbent prime minister when send has won a landslide victory in the country's general election he so are off a challenge from almost twenty rival parties. reports from the capital phnom penh.

so prime minister who. charge of combat 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 win at least a few parliament seats well bodhi and politics just ahead of the campaign began to turn out salutes lead 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 our prove the low one we need to change the lower level first and the usa that has assisted me the osce me to take the model from yugoslavia serbia 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 leader of km bodi 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 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 is to just 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 of the old boy and you are asking for democracy and human rights so prime minister whom sen 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 bodie 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 sea and r.p. to make ends meet he now has to endure the south asian heat driving a tilt. 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 opposition party which represents almost half of 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 where the depleted and impoverished countries i believe a tranquil reporting from combat on election day r.t. . the french president has hit back at the media over its coverage of a scandal involving his top security aide the details on that after the break.

what politicians do something. they put themselves on a lot. they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to be preached. to the right to be close this is what it looks like three of the more people. interested in the logs. to.
