1:18 pm
they have their hands in all the future social networks. yes media takes up a mysterious meeting between china and i think g twenty we look at why it's caused a stir after this break. what holds it's do you suppose to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express. some want to be it's. actually going to be prose this is what the three of them will be good. i'm interested always in the lawyers about how. they suit.
1:19 pm

1:20 pm
going wild over allegations that it's possible that russian president vladimir putin and u.s. president donald trump may have had a meeting in argentina and this meeting may have taken place without a u.s. translator now this is according to the financial times and what they are alleging is that there was a meeting in which in addition to the two presidents you had malani a trump as well as lattimer putin's translator but no note taker or two. and later from the usa was present now the financial times is citing an anonymous source and u.s. media has just been going wild over it let's review donald trump says take the word of an. agent over my own america lattimer putin who he's trading as his shadow now after national security advisor in this case he puts himself in willingly in a position where he can be publicly and privately manipulated by vladimir putin and he does it over and over again at this point there have been journalists that i've
1:21 pm
requested a response on this issue from the kremlin here is the response from moscow to the allegations in the financial times and the inquiries from western reporters about it and the episodes involving president trump it's absolutely the media's hysterical approach usually has no real grounding the white house has acknowledged that an informal conversation did take place between the two leaders they did not go into specifics now it's important to remember that the washington post reported that trump had allegedly concealed some of his the details of his meeting with putin in hamburg and twenty seventeen and they say they took his russian interpreters notes in helsinki now the democrats also reportedly considered subpoenaing trump's translator in order to testify about what took place at those meetings now at this point it appears that an informal conversation between two prominent world leaders is the cause for a scandal in western media that's the atmosphere that things have taken as as

broken out in the parliament to conservative party or whether we are merely in a lull before another cataclysmic storm award winning journalist piece open tells alex why he still fears for the k. he should and the future of the party he understands so well the underlying francis we are very very close to reaching that moment is misses by losing control not just of the house of commons but of the conservative party too but first your tweet to measure just i'm sure you know and we hear from joe he says i haven't missed a show of thanks to the record and c.d.'s like love the show keep them coming thanks joe for quite a few i will say is absolutely love your show we don't get a chance. to hear from others about their views on key political and cultural matters it gives us laws to chatter by on thursday evenings thank you so much it's greatly appreciated and educational now also says enjoy today show on copenhagen

1:30 pm
a comprehensive customs union a strong single market deal and the guaranteeing of rights and protections rozza then go back to the alternative that she's been threatening everybody was for months and months which was to crash out without any deal whatsoever and so finally we have a position from the house of commons but it is neither the position previously adopted by the prime minister and there's no say no shit but it is a position which will be accepted by the european union so it may be about to write the whole medical right into yet again in two weeks time well it's already fifty five hold under this strain out folks if someone likely to know the answer i'm no delighted to be joined by peter oborne the political columnist of the daily mail under the middle east i peter welcome to the excitement show thank you very much alex though you people one of the true real number of commentators has been pretty favorable to to reserve may's approach to the european negotiations are you
