The Us President,Trump on fire over his comment on poll meddling

At a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Finland, Mr Trump disproved US intelligence agencies, saying Russia had no reason to meddle.

The top Republican in Congress, House Speaker Paul Ryan, said Mr Trump must see that "Russia is not our ally".
Republican Senator John McCain said it was a "disgraceful performance".

Mr Putin denied the interference claim.

The US and Russian presidents held nearly two hours of closed-door talks in the Finnish capital Helsinki on Monday.

At a news conference after the summit, he was asked if he believed his own intelligence agencies or the Russian president when it came to allegations of meddling in the election.

"President Putin says it's not Russia. I don't see any reason why it would be," he replied.
Mr Trump also blamed poor relations with Russia on past US administrations rather than Russian actions.

In a strongly-worded statement, Mr Ryan said: "There is no moral equivalence between the United States and Russia, which remains hostile to our most basic values and ideals.

He also said that there was "no question" Moscow had interfered in the 2016 election.
Sen McCain, a key member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said it was a "disgraceful performance" by a US president.

At the joint news conference, President Putin accepted to allow US investigators to visit Russia to question the officers.
He made it clear that, in return, Russia would want similar access to people in the US it suspects of criminal activity.

In a later interview with Fox News, Mr Putin said it was "utterly ridiculous" that some people thought Russia could have influenced the US elections.
He said US-Russian relations should not be "held hostage" to an internal political struggle in America.

The Instagram Account Of This Thunder Bay, Ont. Musician Was Hacked, And She Now Fears It's Being Used To Deceive Others

Image
Danielle Pollari's most recent Instagram post was a video of her cover of Elvis Presley's Can't Help Falling in Love. This type of video is common for the Thunder Bay-based entertainer, who uses the social media platform to promote her music and acting career. "Basically, my Instagram is my way of showcasing myself," she explained. "My website isn't even used by me. I have a website, but I primarily use Instagram to communicate with real people in the moment. So it's ideal, and as an independent artist, it's great because I don't have to rely on others to advertise my work." Then a hacker gained access to her account and locked her out. She was terrified of losing touch with the fan base she had built — or, worse, putting them in danger. It began on Jan. 29 when she received a direct message from someone asking for help "becoming verified" on the network. Pollari stated that she was urged to click on a link, but she felt unhappy

The NHS Isn't Making Any Progress In Terms Of Early Cancer Detection

Image
Breast cancer screening is one of several methods for detecting cancer. MPs have warned that the NHS in England is struggling to meet its main goal of diagnosing three-quarters of cancer cases at an early stage. Staffing shortages and interruption from the epidemic, according to the Health and Social Care Committee, are causing delays. Approximately 54% of cases are detected in stages one and two, which are critical for improving survival prospects. The goal is to diagnose 75 percent of cases in the early stages by 2028, but no progress has been made in the last six years. It signifies that England, along with the rest of the United Kingdom, lags behind comparable countries like Australia and Canada in terms of cancer survival. The committee cautioned that if the lack of progress continues, more than 340,000 people will miss out on receiving an early cancer diagnosis. The Department of Health acknowledged that "business as usual" was not enough, and that it was working on a n
