waiting for President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump to descend the stairs
from that jet that just landed in Glasgow Scotland the President and First
Lady's spending the weekend there at one of the president's golf clubs in turn
burry before heading on to Helsinki Finland to meet with Russian President
Vladimir Putin Fox Business network's Blake Berman is covering all of this for
us live in London where the president met with the Queen before he left
England Blake are you there I am hi there Rick it doesn't get much cooler to
sit down and have tea with the Queen inside Windsor Castle that is exactly
what President Trump in the first lady Melania Trump got to do for about an
hour or so inside Windsor Castle earlier today just on the outskirts of London
Windsor Castle is actually a location that the Queen is used fairly recently
when meeting with past presidents for example she hosted the Obamas there a
president george w bush and his wife Laura Bush had tea with the Queen there
and so too did the Reagan's when they came here and met with the Queen Blake
is now has now met with 10 out of the elastol the president has coming down
the stairs of Air Force One Blake with the first lady tell us what you know
about the president's ties to Scotland
it's interesting by the way as you're watching this back stateside the cameras
behind me the televisions behind my camera watching this - this is kind of
an event that this part of the region has been following since the president
touched down here yesterday speaking of the region president Trump said earlier
today in his news conference with the prime minister Theresa May just exactly
how much this means to him because his mother was born in Scotland so the
president talked about in that news conference just a little while ago how
much this region means to him he also talked about Rick how the president will
be at one of his courses Turnberry that is where he and the first lady will be
staying for the next couple nights one of not just the best golf courses in
Europe but also one of the best golf courses in all the world so I think it's
probably fair to say that it is probable that the president might bring out the
sticks when he is over there in Turnberry which he will arrive to soon
and of course the meeting with Vladimir Putin on Monday in Finland this weekend
a bit of downtime for the president in Scotland will give him some time to
prepare for that summit wreck looks like the weather is good there the president
now waving to a crowd gathered at the airport with his wife Melania Blake I
know there was some massive protests on the streets of London today and
apparently there was a protest in Scotland as well
we were actually inside some of the protests here in London basically
Parliament squares on one side Trafalgar Square on the other in the middle is
Whitehall probably runs I don't know about a mile or so and the protesters
that we saw were just kind of jockeying back and forth from Parliament Square
over to Trafalgar Square they were hanging out there
there was really no no reason we couldn't really see a pattern as that
how they came in how they left why they stayed what I can tell you though Rick
is for the most part it was non-violence they were certainly voicing their
displeasure with this president we did not see any arrests for the several
hours that we were there it is about I believe 8:30 now here in London some
rain behind me I don't know if he could tell so that might have scattered the
last of the protesters but they were planning for that to wrap up at about 7
o'clock tonight but for the most part I guess you can describe it as vocal but
nonviolent here on the streets of London today Thank You Blake Burman we watch
the president's SUV to a slow roll there off the runway past him Secret Service
agents there on his way to turn Barry in Scotland Benjamin Hall was also on the
streets with demonstrators today in the City of London Benjamin what can you
tell us
hey good afternoon Rick well as certainly a few hours ago this was a
major protest they say the largest in about 15 years here in the UK now as
Blake said there the rain has generally seen some ocean but you can still see a
core group behind me who are continuing and they've also been drinking for
number of hours it's becoming more of a party for them but what was interesting
when we were here in the Trafalgar Square was absolutely packed was it it
was not just an anti-trump protesters was very much an anti-capitalist
anti-imperialist very much an antique brexit protest as well and the main
center point of this was a 20 foot tall blimp an orange blimp depicting
president Trump dressed as a baby in a diaper and holding a phone and what was
controversial about that was it was the money was raised by crowdsourcing but it
was given express permission by the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan to fly
outside Parliament and many politicians and British people in general have have
been very vocal in their anger against that saying that the special
relationship is one that you must you you cannot as a politician allows this
kind of belittling of another leader but what we saw up here was also very
interesting once the speech just started getting going in Trafalgar Square where
I am now we started hearing all the leaders they were mainly socialist
leaders they were union leaders and they started leading the crowds in chants
saying we must stand up and fight fight for Humanity stand up and fight for
Muslims stand up and fight for Palestine stand up and fight for climate change it
was really a protest that brought together many many people from London
but all here for very different reasons so it was an interesting one to see but
certainly it was a mass protest President Trump will have missed it
himself because he was outside London Blenheim Palace at Windsor and at
Chequers and that's because this was a working visit it was not a state visit a
state visit would have seen him have the horse-drawn carriage working its way
down to Buckingham Palace and then he would have been here for those meetings
instead it was a bilateral meeting he met with Prime Minister May and those
meetings we here went very successfully and we also heard that there is a state
visit still being planned so it's been quite a day here in London and certainly
people are out on the streets but what was upsetting to see was how personal in
nature some of the attacks on President Trump were they weren't about his
politics or his policies they were very personal and I think here the government
will be a understandably upset about that and lots
of people here were upset about the government in general they took their
anger out on Teresa May they said that they should she should not have been as
welcoming to President Trump because of course she did roll out the red carpet
but the UK Parliament is in turmoil right now and now more than ever people
are saying that they need the backing of their closest ally the US and perhaps
shows a protest like the one that I've seen today and the one which is still
going on behind me may not have been the right tack to take Ric you mentioned the
Mayor of London Benjamin the president had some such a valuable partner well
but going back in the past he has blamed Sadiq Khan perhaps for the city car as a
Muslim and president Trauma the parson suggested that some of his policies may
have facilitated or led to some of the terror attacks we've seen here so
suddenly there is no love between the two of them and that has bubbled up
again here today right Benjamin Hall on the streets of London Benjamin thanks
very much up next more on president Trump's next stop Helsinki to meet with
the Russian President Putin will talk about what both men stand to gain or
lose during the high-stakes summit I'm Rick Leventhal in for Shepard Smith
president Trump set the touchdown in Scotland his last stop before he meets
one-on-one with Russian President Vladimir Putin and today new indictments
in the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election just
hours ago Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein announced charges against a
dozen Russian intelligence officers for hacking Hillary Clinton's campaign and
the Democratic National Committee Rosenstein urging folks not to think as
Democrats or Republicans but as Americans united against an attack on
our democracy there will always be adversaries who seek to exacerbate our
divisions and try to confuse divide and conquer us so long as we are united in
our commitment to the values enshrined in the Constitution they will not
succeed the White House says the indictments don't provide any evidence
that Trump campaign officials were aware of the hacking that any Americans
committed a crime or that the hacks affected the vote count the website
WikiLeaks published information from the hack emails its founder Jule
Hasan's swore up and down that Russia was not the source of the information
chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge on Fox top story live
in Washington Catherine what did we learn from the Deputy Attorney General
today well thanks Rick and good afternoon that
a news conference that the Justice Department was called on very short
notice and featuring the Deputy Attorney General so that was the signal to us
that it was going to be pretty big news really the key headline is this
connection to Russian intelligence called the GRU so think of it as the CIA
the Central Intelligence Agency or the Defense Intelligence Agency the DIA kind
of our equivalent here's the Deputy Attorney General from earlier today
today a grand jury in the District of Columbia returned an indictment
presented by the special counsels office the indictment charges 12 Russian
military officers by name for conspiring to interfere with the 2016 presidential
election well we learned from the indictment is that the operation had two
tracks if you will one track looked at stealing the information so getting the
emails getting text messages and the other was focused on disseminating that
information the Deputy Attorney General said this was very sophisticated first
they use a scheme known as spear phishing which involves sending
misleading email messages and tricking the users into disclosing their
passwords and security information second the defendants hacked into
computer networks and installed malicious software that allowed them to
spy on users and capture keystrokes take screenshots and exfiltrate or remove
data from those computers cyber security experts say none of this would happen
without really the sign-off and the okay from someone senior like the Russian
president Rick and Katherine the defendants accused of going to great
lengths to hide their ties to Russia well that's the other interesting thing
that we learned in the indictment is that Russian intelligence again this is
like the CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency these officers
working with the most sophisticated tools to try and masquerade as Americans
either through D they tried to allege was this Romanian
hacker the conspirators created fictitious online personas including DC
leaks and gusoff err 2.0 defendants falsely claimed the DC leaks was a group
of American hackers and the gusoff err 2.0 was a lone Romanian hacker in fact
both were created and controlled by the Russian GRU other Russian nationals have
been indicted by the special counsel robert muller and the feeling about
these indictments is that it sends a very strong message because the
likelihood that russia would indict its own nationals part of the extradite its
own nationals to the United States to face charges is really I mean slim to
none in terms of that happening but the ranking Democrat on the Senate
Intelligence Committee told reporters this afternoon that it does send an
important message I would love to find a way to have these Russian spies get
justice whether Putin will be willing to turn over those spies that frankly doubt
that the other thing to note of course is the timing coming just a couple of
days before that summit between President Trump
you
the Russian President Vladimir Putin Rick and Katherine you said they were
masquerading as Americans I don't know if you can answer this no indication
they were actually ever in America they were doing this from overseas well not
based on what I've seen in the indictment so far what I would say to
folks at home is that this was part of a much larger intelligence and information
gathering operations that was launched by the Russians and their proxies in the
cyber world and it really began back in October of 2014 with something called
Operation pond storm and this was
