but i do think that mccrone is determined two in what many ways be the leader of europe when it comes to engaging this american president. the traditional. interlocutor between europe in the united states. the british prime minister is very weak and right now going through its own crisis with brexit. the german chancellor and president famously have a cool relations and so i think this could be an attempt by mccrone to show that france is back as a diplomatic leader in the world. and offering a bit of a rest fight to mr trump with his ways of time regarding the rusher investigators i see him join us time how. is this imbroglio scene in europe is it damaging his reputation but i think it is damaging america's reputation around the world and it is clearly weighing down. this presidency both in terms of the image of the united states around the world but also the ability. of the trump administration to make decisions on these very difficult issues. actually thank you very much indeed for joining us great beer thank you. in michigan more than one hundred iraqi kristen's a fighting deporta

and demand all mccrone announces plans to slash the size of france's parliament by a third and a bit to make it more effective at passing the new law. hello and thank you for joining us you're watching r.t. international with me mickey aaron we start with an update on our developing story in the u.s. state of massachusetts where a car has hit a group of pedestrians in east boston near the city's logan airport emergency officials say ten people have been taken to hospital reports suggest the driver error is being investigated as because the car which appears to be a boston city taxi struck near the airport taxi rank the driver is reported to still be at the scene and cooperating with police. china's leaders she is in moscow for a two day official visit he's met with latimer putin in the kremlin and that's their first encounter this year the leaders then headed for an informal dinner before tomorrow's busy schedule of talks on the economy and bilateral relations ten billion dollars worth of deals are on the table and the chinese president will not leave empty handed he'll be decorated

and mccrone basically said we're not going to go after assad anymore that's a recognition that assad is strong with the support of russia and iran and that the real politic is that we have to broker an end to the conflict with assad and that is something that the trumpets and ministration has recognized as well was that was there an element of ok we took out. you know we took we in libya we took out gadhafi in iraq we took out saddam hussein that you know didn't really work out well doing that and so this is a change in policy from the obama policy in the early trump policy. recognition one that the policy isn't working that since. the intervention of russia india. iran has been so powerful in terms of giving assad the backing that he needed that taking out assad is very unlikely right now and the other is a look around at what comes afterwards and i think in understanding that now we have to broker what comes afterwards now rather then thinking we can overthrow assad and then figure out who and. it seems to me crazy for us to be in a proxy war with russia and it seems crazy for me t

you have to understand that essentially the french media have compared mccrone to jupiter, the king of all gods. you can see they're talking about the fact they are concerned about this all-powerful president. they are afraid that public .ebate is going to be atrophied several french lawmakers have decided to boycott this speech and if you want to understand why, you can read the communist that explains why. likening macron once again to a king. >> many french people are gearing up for the big summer holidays. most legal take about a month. left on summer vacation without her children? a new trend. it is more more french are going to summer clubs or hotels for adults only. there was a study carried out of may. 46% of people want to get away for a romantic holiday or spend time with their friends. and theythey want rest get stressed out when they bring their kids on vacation because there is one sentence they fear ."more andi'm bored more people are doing good, but some say they feel a little guilty. >> thank you so much and think for watching france 24. you can get a closer look at our

cross' president tomorrow mccrone is getting ready to downsize the parliament because that story and more after this break. called the future we don't agree on. every the world should be real. and you'll get it out of the old the old. the old according to josh. welcome to my world come along for the ride. hello welcome back we can now cross live it to our guest to your highness to discuss one of our top stories the party he's a member of the freedom party of austria the party the suspect says the couple had links to. i thank you for joining us on the program sir now the suspect reportedly blames your policy for many things including losing his benefits and being unable to find a job why do you think that is well i think you could assume too much of all mainstream media there you get a lot of misinformation especially about all politics and they give free weight to i would say hate speech they speak out against aid speech but they give a lot of hate speech against policies that are deemed to be politically incorrect like our party and if you consume the media without criticizing their

person mccrone he's saying is that he will not alow economic migrants to come in france and fact is is closing the border between eataly and france in the southern part of france so the big question is a war what it what it will what they will do what your opinion a will do to have p.t.s.d. and if you don't do anything the also the political situation reached to be very. out of control which means that the cutting government can can become very unpopular. where the migrant crisis gripping it's a reports are emerging that mafia gangs have been increasing their influence and this is really an important polo by taking advantage of refugees. traveled through the ports and used a hidden camera in some areas to find out exactly what's happening. just behind me is where the famous sicilian ballad takes place. every day and while in the day it's a hot spot for tourists in fact they're recommended to go and see the market is one of the things to do here when you're on the island of sicily but at night the market turns into something completely different and instead of selling fresh produce a

we had a leader who rist solutions nt nd he or she could get the attention mccrone managed to get in france, that might be uccess sxfl that certainly would be a radical revolutionary idea. groups that of the you just mentioned have appeared on c-span, we've talked to a lot of them. vote was just on, the chair was on this program just about a ago.or two mort kondracke, before we leave you, i did want to ask you, viewers this e question to begin our program korean the north missile launch over the weekend. want your opinion. e are asking viewers whether containment military action, negotiations or some other solution is the right approach minute or so, st can we get your thoughts on that? uest: you know, this is the most difficult problem facing the world, i think. action, i think, would in isastrous, result destruction of south korea and i it.dn't favor i would favor cyber war fare system, the north korean economic ally strict sanctions against north korea and all the financial world that in the to do anything, including banks and so on and putting pressure on. going to ink you're sto

in getting the endorsement of barack obama later in may we had that bone crushing handshake where mccrone wouldn't let go of donald trump's had. amid speculation that maybe the reason donald trump pull out of the paris climate agreement was because he was still miffed off about that head shake. easter to bed that we're really if not on a collision course i at least there'd been quite a bit of tension between bob. and i think that what happened today as i think they wanted to both show that no they disagree on a lot of things and we all know we talk about the issues. from migration to to trade but most notably on climate change their big disagreements in math and manual nekron went out of his way. to he noted today that yes we agree that we disagree on this and donald trump he made promises to his eye his base his constituents during the campaign about the climate. i respect those promises but all in all what came away from this press conference is the sort of image of two men. who know that they both need each other they're both in a way indispensable to each other right now? up for diffe

official presidential portrait has never posed much of a problem until the latest incumbent emanuel mccrone who now wants a bigger one than his predecessor has. thank you so our summers in full swing and you may be wondering where you can kick back and catch some rays ati's that mackellar frost aside jaco visited one of russia's most popular seaside getaways. we are now in arab russia a warm spot in the south region of russia called krasnodar this place is located on the southeastern tip of the black sea but across from crimea which makes it a great russian summer getaway and it was filled with fresh fruits seafood restaurants lots of russian history windsurfing beaches you name it and now it has it all. and just a few months ago a new international airport has opened up in an hour and we're about to check it out let's go. and. get the deal with afternoon live in new glad to meet you let's go to. what makes it. different or on the same level as international there. are grandmamma's the ship and it's you can also do both but the main thing is the right combination of the airport technologies

twenty in our french president money will mccrone is yet to arrive for the summit but the online communityhas already been given a lot of attention to how he may be received there given his history. this spokesman told us that we were a little shy in versailles and though we should not hesitate to express ourselves during this speech. for the thief. in the city depicted. on the soaps. i. i'll be back with more on the big stories of the day in just a where for a minute stay with or to international if you can. when we see on television left wing the sick advocates left wingers out there and they're shutting down professors from speaking at colleges so the shutting down colleges. that this is an example of them being or acting in an offer terry fowler a tarion passé become little dictators yes and this is would link to the fact that as children they were completely shielded from any of the so-called dangers of life kept in a bubble and so when they become young adults anything that disrupts that bubble a loud sound like a professor saying something that doesn't agree with them they go into s

they are talking about the pious pledge of father mccrone. -- macron.happened yesterday was a political baptism. many of these lawmakers are first-time lawmakers. it was also in a way macron's baptism in the politics. of patriotic communion, a big republican mass in versailles. he the -- they say he is the evangelical priest of the republic. >> of focus today is on the prime minister who was delivering his speech on general policy in front of parliament. >> now it is philippe's turn. you can read about that. they say after macron's speech about goals and guiding principles and what direction france is going to go in, philippe will have to really add tomeet to the bones -- meat the bones and address concrete matters, give precise details on the method and calendar of these reforms. a lot of papers say macron left all the dirty work to believe. you can -- edward philippe. they say macro is the profit andn philippe has to deal with all the touchy subjects. some good cop, bad cop from the president and prime minister. you can see that on the front page. the

parents and a currently fighting for the right to host the twenty twenty four olympics and mccrone seems determined to get france across the finish line first. the very day macron officially took office he couldn't wait to make his olympic charm offensive a priority to visit right with you on your adventure of the olympics paralympics in the twenty twenty projects in. both the twenty twenty four and twenty twenty eight games are up for grabs but the paris in los angeles is all about who gets what yeah . same's getting first place is a big deal bigger than usual for a head of state he's already made his pitch in switzerland an unusual move for a country's leader who normally only make an appearance at the host city votes just north september trump was absence paris man who spearheaded the french bid before macro to grab the reins was noticeably eclipsed by the president we hold to stage and then there's the campaigning has been enthusiastic to say the least showcasing his sporting prowess and trying hard to show just wasn't all round he is a defender olympic values and. they're under thre

but mr mccrone keen to boost french influence abroad has since turned on the charm. and mr trump's comments today on climate change suggested might be working. something could happen with respect to the paris accord we'll see what happens. but. we will talk about that over the coming period of time. and if it happens it'll be wonderful and. if it doesn't that'll be. okay to. john don't ya this i want to continue discussions with the u. s. and president trump on this very important subject. i respect that wish to preserve jobs i think it's compatible in the paris agreement. now we have to lift the u. s. work on its roadmap and to continue talking with technical about it. and amid allegations that russia into fear that the u. s. election mr trump was also asked about his son's contact with the russian lawyer last year. i have a son who's a great young man he's a fine perso. took a meeting with a lawyer from russia. . it lasted for a very short period. and nothing came of the meeting. and i think it's a meeting that most people in politic. probably would have taken. tod

discord between the presidents might be eased on thursday evening with a bit of wining and dining as mccrone is poised to take to the famous eiffel tower for that right there a red lobster dinner meanwhile the upcoming meeting is a battle between two superheroes so we hit the streets of paris to find out what people think about the. superpowers. he's well. you still need to. care. did you see every piece from the book dump a bunch of the books tell me it is a pistol you can go through flowers and say good sophie maybe peace keeping. their money is only on the. plate i just tell you. the place you mention down close you down being relieved. to know. the book was to come the superman. movie can come out it's not dead even a bit dense ok macro ok just like you know it being ok might compose. arrived at all the airport near paris. and the powers on bolstering ties between the two real you countries despite the american i enjoy my leaders both coming to the french presidential palace with an hours of each other we understand according to the show jewels. will not be crossing. more years after the

emmanuelle mccrone try to wow his guest donald trump at this year's best field day parade by getting a marching band to belt out of punchy rendition of french electro do you would it get lucky donald less than impressed it was. the to. the to. the as well as. the two. trams behavior has sometimes triggered waves of indignation both in the media and among the public some commentators think it may have contributed to the fall in his approval ratings and yet many of his key policies are not only pretty popular but also similar to those of us or barack obama whose ratings of the start of his presidency was sky high artie's jacqueline looks at why the two opposites so differently. according to a recent poll president trump's approval ratings are low really low but it seems that people don't so much just like him as a president as much as they just don't like him as a person sixty five percent of those who disapprove of trump said it was because of his personality while only sixteen percent objected to his policies ok trump is undeniably a one of a kind president who has said and done some

the new government of emmanuel mccrone has vowed not to reopen the formal migrant center in the area. because all paris correspondent dc williamson reports pressure is growing to provide some kind of assistance. skeletons lived in france for all of her six weeks of life. she's never been inside a house. never slept in a crib. her only bob simon the nearby river. her parents and two sisters arrived here with the boards near dunkerque four months ago. off the traveling overland from iraq. here's the city. they will have a chance for that you'll find anything here. nothing. is very difficult for me. i'm still air looking into baby my children's very. the my heart like this. because you're doing it for them. despite the lack of any showers toilets or running water up to fifty young children are thought to be living here with their families. along with hundreds of single young me. adorn yesterday police arrived in strip the makeshift camp of all its tents and shelters. volunteers say one mother came back to find a few remaining belongings soaked through. the only thing she had left a start

all that all stops trying to tame donald trump at this week's best steel day parade the man while mccrone got a marching band to play a punchy rendition of dull punks hit to get lucky the us president both seem less than impressed. with. her. or. her. work. many in the media were quick to point out that donald trump is far less comfortable with pop culture than his predecessor barack obama jacqueline du going to accept why the two u.s. presidents are perceived so differently. according to a recent poll president trump's approval ratings are low really low but it seems that people don't so much just like him as a president as much as they just don't like him as a person sixty five percent of those who disapprove of trump said it was because of his personality while only sixteen percent objected to his policies ok trump is undeniably a one of a kind president who has said and done some awkward things i think by shingo greatest shit of any assets i have is by temperament oh just slide shows. i'm really rich history i'm like a smart person i think i'm much more humble than you would understan

mccrone, you had your meeting with the chinese president at the g20 summit. what will france do? how well france cooperate with all of these areas with china, and what do you think personally of mr. xi jinping? how do you want to continue to work with china, and what do you personally think of mr. xi jinping? thank you very much. president trump: he is a friend of mine. we have gotten to know each other very well. a great leader. he is a very talented man. i think he is a very good man. he loves china, i can tell you. he wants to do what is right for china. we have asked him for some assistance in regard to north korea. probably he could do a little bit more, but we will find out. we are working on some trade deals. he has been very nice. in,as let beef go back certain credit card financing and other various things go back in at my request, which is very good for our farmers. we will be working on very major trade components. president xi is a terrific guy. i like being with him a lot. and he is a special person. thank you. first, i got to meet him in the margin of the g20 summit

wrapped up his two day visit to paris on thursday he held talks with the french president emmanuel mccrone and today he was the special guest at the best deal day parade at the french capital and when the time came to say goodbye it seems like the two leaders found it a bit hard to part. with . the. jimmy nothing will ever. be the presence today good. night mr donald trump. is a sign of our friendships on it which has enjoyed time it has seen you deny he is going to be just fine because you have a great president you have somebody that's going to run this country right and i would be willing to bet because i think this one of the great cities one of the most beautiful cities in the world. however it seems that the french public doesn't particularly care about warm relations between the two countries charlotte dubinsky has the details around to choose awesome people have turned out with this protest against from and against a mock won't they say that the two presidents crating against society not speakers nor just from peace here in town and many people are unhappy about the fact that he's

gave a good speech in poland and really improved and then even the new president of france emanuel mccrone invited him last week for bits and they go out along famously and ate at the restaurant in the eiffel tower until midnight supposedly so it's hard to say that you know the president hasn't done some work at building relationships by the same token his position on climate change has angered a lot of folks his position for not unusually embracing article five which is the nato mutual defense doctrine ultimately did that is spall and speech but not at first it was sort of ruffled some feathers with world leaders and it doesn't appear there's any plan to deal with north korea which is warmongering attitude directed pretty much at the at the us and continuation of the nuclear proliferation program so that and syria which we've talked about before too so lots out there lots of challenges and doesn't seem like on those key sort of medicine foreign policy issues that there is really a game plan. let's talk about his legislative policy and if they can if i can get started right yeah exactly be

they're talking about in syria what they're looking at with frankly the entire security situation which mccrone that's always been one of his sort of bally wix and i think the idea that they're going to try to set aside the environment they're going to try to set aside some of the trade issues and they're going to focus on that and that plays straight into what putin stronghold is as well what about french intelligence and u.s. intelligence what kind of. cooperation could we expect out of them because number one they're don't want anything to do with the syrian involvement which may go against what the trump administration wants number to the paris accord and the positions on climate change are very different what about intel what about working with them against terrorism well i think that's a critical issue if we look at french intelligence they're very good in certain parts of the world certain parts of the middle east certain parts of africa and elsewhere and i think it's critical from the united states standpoint that u.s. intelligence and french intelligence work together if we think about

netanyahu first expressed skepticism at the idea but last sunday having met with french president mccrone in paris went even further and said tel aviv was utterly opposed to the deal israel's defense minister was even tougher on this saying israel reserve has complete freedom of action regardless of any understanding of developments and retaining exclusive responsibility for the security of israel citizens therefore of the freedom of action was absolute and israel would do everything that is needed and of quote netanyahu his office later issued a statement as well saying that he spoke to rex tillerson and sergey lavrov both told him that israel's demands would be taken into account something russia latest that also will be done and while israel generally welcomes the secession of the philippines in the country netanyahu said his land would strongly up. hold red lines which are according to israeli leader would be keeping iran and hezbollah away from israel's goal on border preventing the establishment of an iranian military presence in syria as a whole and also blocking any attempt by has

police say that the man, described as a far right nationalist, planned to kill mccrone -- macron. police say that he was inspired by other mass shootings, and columbine. president trump is ex coming up later this month. adriana? adrianna: chris christie is under fire for lounging at a each that he just closed to the public for the holiday weekend following a state government shutdown. he was spotted sunning himself in a budget battle resulted in the closure of state run parts and beaches. many saw the picture of him on and took to social media in outrage. chris christie says he's frustrated by the shutdown and is open to making a deal to reopening the government. donald trump under fire. this video over the weekend sending shockwaves ross the internet. edited to show the president wwe appearance attacking cnn, calling it a fraud news network area the video it self stirring up a lot of reactions on both sides. the controversy that president trump is playinou of sacramento area people rallied their yesterday calling for his impeachment. a few trump supporters showed up to defend the

again, shinzo abe, along with merkel and mccrone -- macron, are trying to put four free trade aroundld at a time when america has become protectionist. vonnie: shinzo abe arriving momentarily for those meetings. and thelk about asia china-japan access when it comes to the u.s.. there are two powers. is the euro being represented by angela merkel? and the u.s. where does china fall with what it promises? what does it say to vladimir putin? >> when you look at the leaders at the summit, you have three contenders to lead the discussion. one will be donald trump, because he is the president of the united states. the second is angela merkel, who stands for that democratic, liberal, western values. she has been in office for 10 years and may when a fourth term in december. and it will be the chinese president. it will be interesting to see if there is an entente new relationship. china and germany have already said they will work on things like climate change and pushing the free trade globalization agenda. when it comes to those photos let's see if the chinese president will be standing n

look for angela merkel, the new french president, mccrone, -- other allies to increased pressure to getack to the table on maybe the paris agreement, the climate record that trump withdrew the united states from and also on the trade issues. >> seems like people pay as much attention to the body language in these meetings with leaders. >> absolutely. those handshakes, the expressions on the faces, the posing of the family photo, always a strange and awkward moment. i a lot gets a read into that. it will be interesting to see -- philip is right, there's a big divide between president trump and a lot of the other lead -- leaders on trade and even migration. will they actually push the envelope or will they be more interested in making it seem on the surface like there is some common ground so that they can see to make some progress where possible on certain issues? that remains to be seen. body language will be a big tell on that. and of course everyone is looking to see what the body language is like in him and vladimir putin on the sidelines. will it you all handshakes and grinning? som

. >> harris: we've read about what they want to do in france and it wasn't so much about mccrone, itbout the very substance and how it plays out. anthony scaramucci has said the president is not convinced that this meddling happened to help him win. you make such a fine point, there are two issues here. >> john: for those who have seen the evidence and ultimately, it will have to be classified so they make a people have a sense of it, there's no doubt what they were trying to do. the russians did this when they were soviets and they are doing it, not just in france, but all over europe. i find it hard to believe that the russians thought they could influence the election for donald trump, that would make them more astute observers of the american clinical seen for 99.9% of all political commentaries. >> sandra: >> kennedy: i thinks much more information that if reality winner had gone in a legal way, we would have had a better glimpse into how russia was trying to screw around. >> harris: it's the overall democracy. >> john: and their institutions, the institutions are much weaker. >

it seems to work in the mccrone campaign was speed and decisive action. and transparency. so actually all of the french people were made aware of the threat and they have a right to that information and that's the basis of my criticism. i have tremendous respect for president obama. this is monday morning quarterback by somebody's not the government. but you're asked to testify and i think this is a lesson that we have to learn from the europeans how they've done. what is missing his formal integration of effort by the governments of canada, the united states and europe. that's a step the trump administration could decide to take which would be helpful in analysis and action. >> i completely agree that visibility and transparency are critical and that is an important lesson. ambassador, i want to ask you about montenegro because the state of maine has the special relationship with montenegro. i can see by your smile that you're aware of that. we are part of the state partner program in our national guard has members stationed in montenegro to assist the military. we like t

mccrone is making a good point. people consider him wishy washy on terror, and he stood there very well with trump. macron is a smashing guy. this is a guy who studied john f kennedy very well, he studied american politics very, very well, he's learned his lessons. he's a damn smart guy. liz: president trump is different from president obama's lead from behind approach. president trump is robust, he's absurd about western values. you mention jfk, the speech jfk was good guy. jfk was talking about the u.s. being the watch man on the walls of world freedom. that's exactly how president trump sounds, but he's being criticized. i mean, so what is your -- what are your thoughts about that that somehow we fell through the memory hole in the media and president trump is not getting a fair shake on what he's saying about western values. >> well, president trump never gets a fair shake from the media. i mean, this is what we in law school call legal realism, which is a judge make up his mind how the case is going to come out

as we saw on the french elections with their release of information about candidate mccrone. germany cyber -- has been attacked. most observers to -- as of the united states, russia aggressively uses trolls and bots to spread fake news and disinformation. with the goal of weakening european institutions and driving a wage between the united states and europe. these measures have been supported by state-controlled russian media including rg and sputnik. so far, these efforts have not been successful in europe as perhaps they were in the united states. for instance in france, and the campaign the french government was prepared to push back on cyber leaks as they released information in the 48 hour blackout time. we've seen companies such as facebook take down a series of fake accounts to help those efforts. in the netherlands earlier this spring officials hand-counted paper ballots to ensure there'd be no electronic interference. across europe government media push back against fake news stories and have established such institutions in the nato strategic communication center o

merkel and mccrone have been very tough on sanctions. the eu just affirm them a couple of weeks ago. i think also we will have to see if the united states is willing to continue talking about climate change. we are out of the paris agreement. we are isolated on that issue. david: talk about what appears to be a vacuum as president trump steps back and president g has really spoken out on trade. he criticized president trump for protectionism. is this an opportunity to take leadership. nick: it's a rough game in international politics. you did see them criticized united states for protectionism, starting with that davos speech. the chinese see and opening to enhance their global leadership. they see the economic agenda of the u.s. and the criticism of the eu and nato. you see jockeying for power. extent, merkel is so self-confident in who she is and what germany and europe represent. i think that's a very interesting story. say, thead for me to pulling back of london and washington as the two pillars of global political party, it's a sad
