made. this is an uncomfortable day for a. very good evening thanks for joining us this is art. is the 2nd day of the u.s. president's state visit to the united kingdom trump and promised a truism a spoke at a press conference highlighting the issues that they discussed in the meeting earlier in the day they included trade while away and of course regs it reports. might be raining here in westminster but it's not raining on the anti trump parade which is in full swing in harlem and square and see trump protesters demonstrating against the full blown state visit that the u.s.
5:02 pm
president has been treated to hand over the last 2 days and the culmination today of the 2nd political day of donald trump's trip here was the press conference with him and the u.k. leader to raise them a now they both talked up the special relationship and they talked about that still as they get elusive trade deal between the u.s. and the u.k. that they both hope to come out they say post brags that donald trump said it would be phenomenal that it would increase trade between the 2 countries at least 2 or 3 times they spoke about their shared values they spoke about d.-day commemorations that they'll be attending tomorrow but a really fun bit in the press conference was when it brought to the q. and a session because that is where both leaders want to go off script and donald trump weighed in on the break that process take
5:03 pm
a listen to what he had to say about that i really predicted what was going to happen so move you remember that prediction was a strong prediction made it a certain location and development we were opening the day before it happened and i thought it was going to happen because of immigration more than anything else but probably it happens for a lot of reasons but i would say yeah i would think that it will happen and it probably should happen donald trump was also asked about the man of london city con who penned an op-ed a scathing op ed about the u.s. president and comparing the u.s. president to a fascist so don't trump replied by firing off a tweet calling the mayor of london a stone cold loser in the press conference he elaborated he said that city khan was not a very good man. he said that he hadn't tackled crime in the capital he wasn't very praising of the labor leader cherami corbett either this is of course the leader of the opposition here in the u.k. the one that refused to attend the tram banquet the state banquet held for donald
5:04 pm
trump at buckingham palace last night and then he was asked about the protests let's zoom in on those protests one more time shall we but for don't some well apparently there were no protests as far as the protests so i have to tell you because i commented on it yesterday we left the prime minister the queen the royal family there were thousands of people in the streets cheering and even coming over today there were thousands of people cheering and then i heard that there were protests i should wear the protests i don't see any protests i did see a small protest today when i came 1st ball so a lot of it is fake news i hate to say the president may not have seen them because he has essentially been and he's been flying in on a helicopter from the residence the u.s. ambassador's residence very staying slightly north of the complex still into buckingham palace and then around westminster he gets traveling around by many to
5:05 pm
kate but these protests have been hard to miss there was a wide range of different groups and the anti trump demo i spoke to a few of the people there a little bit earlier on take a listen to his part of the problem. with both feet and he supported those making the situation more to ask like these opportunities from these protests show that that's really is just a great day one. thing they do without we can be debilitated the police is a pretty good thing that people could. really get in charge but they did like that lead a point needs to be making doing. the. thing. is it is awfully embarrassing for this country and i feel ashamed to resume from fighting over all there's a sense that this was the u.s.
5:06 pm
president on his best behavior we expected that contentious issue of why wait to come up that press conference well he was rather diplomatic he said the intelligence sharing between the u.s. and the u.k. wasn't a threat that he was saw that the u.k. and the u.s. would be on the same page when it comes to the chinese telecoms. so i sense that donald trump very much sticking to the script following protocol he was clearly delighted at the pomp and the ceremony of this state visit which was yesterday with the meeting with the queen lunch with the queen that massive state banquet is held in his own with prince charles and camilla tomorrow is all about the d.-day commemorations 75 years since the d.-day landings will be marked in portsmouth and donald trump will be there with the queen with 2 reason may with prince charles so it's all about the photo opportunity tomorrow. for u.s.
5:07 pm
diplomats. could speak to jim. good to hear her words you talked about the greatest alliance in the world talking about the u.k. u.s. relationship. to do a spectacular trade deal brags that he seems optimistic can we can we trust in the for example talking about trade deals clearly always wants every trade deal to be hugely beneficial for the u.s. he's trying to revive these deals that the better for the u.s. so wouldn't any deal be not so great for the u k. i don't think us isn't necessarily true which start with i think it was quite entertaining watch it watching mr trump and miss may both pretending they don't hate each other it's just it's quite well now and that they're not the fondest of one another of the 2 world leaders but clearly she's on her way out i think he's looking or to you whether it be that whether it's mr johnson mr go over succeeds or to find out what kind of deal he could push through the parliament and frankly if the conservative party
5:08 pm
wants to remain in power at all they've really got to make rex that happen and i think they will be looking for a good trade deal now compared to many of our trading partners the u.s. u.k. balance is actually pretty even so i don't know that there's much reason to tamper with that although obviously have to adjust it for the fact that u.k. will be in the you anymore. simple so touched upon the proliferation of nuclear weapons school that a big threat but i mean american fast and it's a nuclear arsenal the case when using its attendant slightly hypocritical. well i don't know if it's hypocritical but i would say that this is unfortunately one of the aspects of american policy where mr trump's promises to change the pattern of his predecessors to have a better relationship with russia for example is simply not happening that fact we see is in this ration canceling their inept agreement accusing the russians of violating c t b t and sort of who are really turning up the heat and in really
5:09 pm
destroying a lot of the infrastructure of arm and arms agreements that's primarily bilateral between the united states and russia a frankly i think a lot of people wonder why britain bothers with a with a nuclear deterrence recalled anymore anyway. some gave his opinions on he we thought maybe should be the next prime minister in france with the current prime minister to. suggest that he should be playing a bigger role in bragg's is it wise to be talking about what he thinks should be happening in a foreign country's politics i don't think it's wise but are at it in a world where we go around claiming the right to say overthrow venezuela's government or the iranian government and i know i don't know that that's exactly the worst thing in the world and let's not forget. when we look at the origins of russia gave her finds again m i 6 in the british intelligence services g c h q were up to their eyeballs in it were long with james clapper and john brennan in the
5:10 pm
restroom at ground 0 and i was remembering that when trying to thread to the class the british document who called him up and asked openly you don't do that which theresa may there's a lot of dirt on both sides of the pond here. quite surreal scenario that we've seen play out donald trump i don't think it's going too far to say that he shoots from the hip shall we say he says what he wants and speaks very crude upsets a lot of people we've got him playing out this role of dignitary behaving very respectful and dignified lots of pomp and ceremony really unusual to see him in this situation how is this playing out in the us what are they making of seeing him in this unusual role. well that in the coverage i've seen here has been really truly restrained given how much most of the american media hates donald trump and i think it's correct to say yes he has what is a good behavior so is theresa may this is this is a very anti-climactic meeting in some ways as that is that she's on her way out
5:11 pm
he's going to have to deal with a new prime minister soon he was asked a question about meeting with jeremy corbyn he claimed that corbin really wanted to meet with him and he turned him down boris johnson said he was too busy i don't have a belief believe it will any of that is i think it would have been the better part of wisdom for him to meet with the various other contenders for the conservative leadership as well as with mr carbon and we all know of course that he's very good friends with mr rush. and funny jim i mean donald trump's made it pretty clear that he puts the u.s. 1st and foremost and that he's revised a lot of the relationships and deals that existed before how do you still say that so-called special relationship he still say it really being special and just in woods only i think that remains to be seen and with do all due respect me i would take issue with your characterization i wish he was putting american interests 1st but i don't actually see that i don't see the america 1st he promised in to 2016 i see a lot of bluster
5:12 pm
a lot of bullying but really around the shame policy of global dominance of battling in the middle east or threatening war with theories countries of sanctions and bombs and drones all the stuff that i would i thought we were supposed to get out of the regime change business instead we see his administration with the kind of people he's put around him like john bolton and secretary mike pompei you know doubling down on these very very bad policies partly because he's got a very bad team around him a pleasure to speak to appreciate and jim jeffords for me i think you got my guest . it wasn't just the prime minister waiting to greet the important guest to downing street someone else had a perfect welcome. race
5:13 pm
based genocide is how a canadian government report has branded decades of violence against the country's indigenous population the study was released on monday at a ceremony and prime minister just in today who was present accepted mistakes had been made but his failure to use the word genocide so the pm had called. he really needed a kids. indigenous women and girls across canada have disappeared suffered violence or been killed. and our justice system has failed them.
5:14 pm
with. this is an uncomfortable day for canada. titled reclaiming power and place the report took almost 3 years to write the inquiry heard more than 2000 witness testimonies and claims the canadian justice system is based on the values of a settler colonial society failing to include indigenous concepts of justice the probe states the death or disappearance of thousands of women of likely gone on record it and it admits that nobody even knows the exact number estimates though but the figure of 4000 the report includes multiple accounts of victims and their relatives here is just one of the stories. i was he chaykin and this was literally just a month and i have before my sister loretta was murdered she was stack's to me she was like what are you doing delilah this is not just one operation a woman or girl this is being considered a national epidemic. we heard from the chair of indigenous governance account of
5:15 pm
this russian university who says that the state has done nothing to address the problem there's a whole bunch of really you know problematic criminal activity as regards to indigenous women and girls and it's been unaddressed for all of these decades until this inquiry on a light on it i am calling on all canadians and in fact other countries around the world to put political pressure on both our federal government and all of our provincial governments to to do something and to actually investigate state actors who are complicit or directly involved in the murders exploitations and disappearances of indigenous women and girls this state has done nothing about it so they've been very complicit in the ongoing sexualized violence and murders of indigenous women and girls but canadians haven't been able to put all of those
5:16 pm
pieces together until now. a controversial journalist has been appointed facebook's new policy manager for ukraine. got 3 new crew cars officially announced that she's now working at facebook as a policy manager for ukraine while located in warsaw i should say we've been expecting this for years katherina is a leading expert in the information field a speaker at all conferences on disinform ation that have been held recently and a very honest posts and with principles. katerina crook is known for her coverage of the uprising in ukraine and was even praised by the u.s. atlantic council i can 2014 she tweeted about the tragedy in a desa praising the actions of the pro-revolutionary circled my down activists it as a massacre at the time was the result of clashes between those for and against the uprising and to mind an activist to become trapped inside a trade union building which was subsequently torched 42 people were killed.
5:17 pm
i was i. was. i. think the. journalist primadonna believes that such an appointment should raise serious concerns. issues that facebook a company which has certain rules and community guidelines against extremism has literally implied somebody from a neo nazi background to take over their operations in ukraine i mean it's very very worried because obviously i mean. she's obviously got a certain ideology on them perhaps you'll be told the fear in the way she implements the. job she's been given you have to ask questions of me have to wonder like i mean our feet have people i'm going to have the biggest deep in our lives are they going to say they've had some guarantees of mr crook that she's you know renounced you know that use them or house call them work and i don't think that
5:18 pm
facebook would allow that to happen and you other countries i mean i don't think it would be tolerated in russia it wouldn't be tolerated in the united states it wouldn't be tolerated in germany or france or spain or italy or britain for some reason face book about no plans about writing something like this in ukraine i mean . you know it is extraordinary. we have asked facebook for comment about the appointment we await their response. but anti semitism on the rise in germany berlin this strike to show solidarity with the jewish community by urging people to wear a traditional orthodox skullcap the move has been welcomed by some jews as artie's briffa not explains. to wear or not to wear that is the question now surrounding the jewish. for george gabriel pulled this from the berlin also doc synagogue the answer is clear everybody took the side of us in the in the feeling that the word couldn't find the debate began when germany's commission on anti semitism getting
5:19 pm
married to jews i cannot advise jews to wear the qip are everywhere all the time in germany that advise prompted a furious reaction from some jews and politicians the president of israel described it as a capitulation to and to semitism the mystic line then did a u. turn i call on all citizens of berlin and across germany to wear the kippur next saturday if there are new intolerable attacks targeting israel and jews on the occasion of day in berlin regretted by. their own country today is an annual event marked globally and unites those who dispute israel's claim to jerusalem also known as comes in arabic. on the other side of the street those who support israel it looked like the perfect occasion to support a capacity crying or not at least 85 percent haven't even wore.
5:20 pm
a keeper unnoticed and i have seen that one for nobody because. you know yesterday the people who were there they are not very literate don't forget that bush up but after all his controversial statements we caught up with mr klein with my statement i want to start in on this if a is about the situation we have in germany and that is a very good provoke symbol for that because many people in germany and in your opening that the key part something exotic or not are not in the area but i would say i'm here to show our solidarity. we could do is going to be intimidated but why and it worked though the attention was mixed for me it's like what i said it's like a disneyland show i don't need you and you would too where we keep our that i do know that you are with me you know i am not wearing a cross but you would think that i'm with you i with you if you need be or if you
5:21 pm
are friends and i don't show it i don't need it it's in my heart long as the skin says it's easy to show your solidarity on a single location where you know you are protected by the police but that is not enough i mean it's nice but it's not more if i'm doing good one day for an hour it's a show off or it's a nice oral we also talk to the head of germany's real friendship association not a jew across a stand he agreed with it's a matter of solidarity which is it is not just for show it is a sign of religion it's the same sorry. for instance our solution. is it covers their heads and so on so whoever wants to bury keeper should do it days after the germany wears keep our event it's still unclear whether jews should wear it to pot if it's safe everywhere all the time just like the official
5:22 pm
said perhaps the idea was not to get an answer but simply raise a question refreshing our t.v. reporting from the early. news site the daily beast is named and shamed demonic claims was behind a video that mocks the u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi making her look drunk. and i tell this to the room when he came in and made that statement that he walked in and i tell this to the room when he came in and made that statement that he walked out and i went looking for the russian troll behind the drunk palosi viral video hoax turns out he's an eye tenor and forklift operator from the bronx who's been secretly running hard right news outlets across social media for years also not russian. however the man in question denies making or posting that video and the daily beast this come under fire for outing him. the previously anonymous labor of
5:23 pm
the daily beast maliciously exposed as punishment for having bad politics denies he even committed the thought crime of making the pelosi mocking video insisting he just posted it who cares his politics are wrong ruin his life when journalists engage in docs enough everyone whose politics they dislike is a good for democracy daily beast editorial meeting whatever each citizen can we docs to ruin their life because they lean conservative well there's this guy who drives a forklift during the day and makes means a night. the liberal media outlets do have some for when it comes to outing people on the right of the political spectrum killable but expects. it was not a vast foreign conspiracy to undermine nancy pelosi is reputation after all it was just a guy from the bronx and the fact that mainstream media gave this so much attention
5:24 pm
just one person with video and software tricking people i'm seeing a lot of people on twitter saying you already are responsible for outing him 1st of all i think he out of them self you know by attaching his name to several fake news sites but then push the video wait a 2nd doesn't c.n.n. have a bit of a record when it comes to outing the sources of memes and putting them in modern day stocks the video shared by president trump was apparently 1st posted by a writ user who goes by this online name c.n.n. is not publishing house. name because he's a private citizen who has issued an extensive statement of an apology showed his remorse in addition he said he statements could serve as an example to not to do the same sin and reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change it sounds a little bit like a mafia shakedown sure hate for something to happen to you if you make the wrong move and who can forget c.n.n. i tracked down from supporter those were russians not russians i don't go with the
5:25 pm
russian that i knew me was russian i have nothing to do with the russians well the family you know you now yes these investigators are quite proud of themselves for tracking down average americans who engage in cyber activism and distort facts however you would think they'd be a little more outraged when actual news organizations do this kind of thing right like when a local seattle news station distorted footage of president trump or like want to statement from president trump was taken out of context to give the impression that he was calling all immigrants animals these are people. these are animals in reality he was pretty obviously referring only to the members of criminal gangs at this point mainstream media is not going after its colleagues who engage in biased reporting or distort. instead it's got its eyes on average americans who make the wrong move online what we're seeing this is not journalism these are hit pieces these are people who have taken it personally they're not a part of
5:26 pm
a journalistic desire to find the truth to investigate to talk to people to have multiple sources that oh no no no this is about going after people who may dare to be either supportive of trump maybe it's considered raises drawer or whatever it is it's become personal it's become lynch mobs it's become inciting a riot anybody out there this is for you alas it if you think it's funny if you want to put up some mean that dare now a me mcgann's trump please we will help you we will promote it we will read tweet you all day long. the russian foreign ministry has denied stone tweeted claimed the moscow had informed the u.s. it was pulling its military advisors out of venezuela the words of trump about russia pulling out its people from venezuela resists questions about the quality of
5:27 pm
his advisors we have notified anyone this is fake of the wall street journal and earlier reported the russian personnel had been withdrawn something also vehemently denied by moscow with the details in the deer's shoot. well this is gone from an accusation of article from the dismissal of that accusation all article to a little bit of confusion thrown in on sunday the wall street journal they published an article saying that russian military and technical personnel had left on my ass from venezuela reducing the numbers from a 1000 to just a few dozen and the reason they came for the gave up the exodus was that there were a lack of contracts and that moscow apparently found out that there was a lack of funds to pay a russian high tech military hardware corporation called rostik now have come out and dismissed the article completely this is what they said the figures provided in the piece by the wall street journal have been exaggerated tens of times the numbers of our staff there has remained for the same for many years now someone
5:28 pm
else's decided to join in us present on track during his state visit to the u.k. he's tweeted his favorite medium this is what he said russia has informed us that they have removed most of their people from venezuela so as you can see he seemed pretty confident that those personnel had left venezuela well the kremlin has come out and spoke and they've said that there were no official statements about the withdrawal there were never any plans about the withdrawal the staff is still working there so how could there possibly be a statement about withdrawal here's what press corps said. no official indications from the russians regarding the withdrawal of russian specialists from venezuela could never have been any it seems this information was taken from the media and the kremlin is assuming the trams tweets are based on newspaper sources but as far as the russians are concerned this matter is now closed. it's coming on our top stories in half an hour's time to see it.
5:29 pm
5:30 pm
prouty i'm max foster this is the ca's report have you noticed a lot more trash garbage building up everywhere it's true you're not paranoid it's actually happening. yes and i want to put this into the context of this global kind of you know there's a certain class of people that know how everybody else in the world should live better on a nation state level and then on the individual level and again i return to the trump election. the european vote where you're seeing over and over is the rise up of people rejecting this condescending social justice warrior. better than you sort of thing especially when it turns out that they aren't better than anybody else so in the case of look at canada canada everybody agrees.
