hello there i'm julie with all this is live from london also coming up calm in catalonia spain takes direct control and prosecutors would belly in charges against the region's deposed leader. anger in opposition strongholds as it were kenyatta is declared the winner of kenya's presidential rerun with ninety eight percent. and calls for urgent action after a c o two in the earth's atmosphere surges to a level last seen millions of years ago. a warm welcome to the program us president on chums former campaign manager paul man of ford and former business associate rick gates have been charged with conspiring against the u.s. in the last hour both of pleaded not guilty in court now the charges stem from the investigation looking into any links between russia and the trump campaign

committee how could has more now from washington d.c. . donald trump do solemnly swear donald trump has been in office less than a year but this is perhaps the most significant day of his presidency so far on monday two of his former associates turned themselves into authorities paul mann a ford is the former chair of donald trump's presidential election campaign rick gates is a longtime business associate of man of force and worked with the white house until march both men have been indicted on a dozen charges by a federal grand jury the charges include conspiracy against the united states also to launder money acting as an agent for a foreign principal providing false statements to investigators and failure to report foreign bank accounts it has also emerged a third person tied to the truck campaign george papadopoulos has pled guilty to lying to federal investigators over his relationship with russia but the most

significant of the three is paul man a fort in august f.b.i. investigators raided matta foretold looking for evidence and told him he was a target of the special counsel robert muller's investigation no collusion no obstruction trump has repeatedly called the investigation it ties between his twenty sixteen presidential campaign and russia a witch hunt by the media and political adversaries on twitter trouble reacted to the news of the arrests arguing the charges emanate from actions taken before metaphor chaired his presidential bid he again stated there was no collusion between his campaign and russia. i think it makes things worse for him i think it becomes increasingly difficult for the president to say that he didn't know what the highest level operatives on his own campaign were doing from capitol hill top u.s. senators issued statements saying the indictments are proof the justice process is

working but underscored the need for congress's four concurrent probe into russian interference in the u.s. election to continue well in a moment we'll get the white house reaction to all of this from kimberly but first she had her times he joins us from outside the court in washington hi there she what's been happening there. yeah this initial appearance is taking a lot longer than we were led to expect because it's to we understand that the government the special counsel are all doing that both pull him out of full and rich gates presents a flight risk so the government is asking that a bail of ten million dollars be set the recount of all five for the full amount of four five million dollars for rick gates and they would then be put on the home confinement they would surrender the possible and they would have to call it each day to federal authorities to ensure the to make it appear so that they could prove

that they were actually still under home confinement so this is what's being argued right now there's been no decision made on the level of bail by the by the federal judge but this is been going on for quite some some time now there's been a bit of a surprise we have now got a statement from rick gates's spokesperson it seems that gates has not yet got a lawyer in place he's being represented by by a public defender in fact right now in court this is the statement from the spokesperson rick gates' pled not guilty today he welcomes the opportunity to confront these charges and cause he's not going to comment further this fight is just beginning so there's that they're being quite defiant in that statement though not guilty i know that there's been great the speculation that perhaps this is all being amazing that released these particular charges being released say that the special counsel can get one of these two men to flip to start cooperating with the special counsel in the event that they have some kind of incriminating information about donald trump as to the actual substance of what is a destination is about which is these allegations still yet to be proven of some

sort of collusion between russia and the trump campaign to try to influence the election we should be clear what these men are being charged with is that lobbying work in washington over many years on behalf of the ukrainian government and then trying to hide the money the millions of dollars they made from the ukrainian government in a network of companies and bank accounts this is not about the twenty sixteen election she happened to there live from i said that washington d.c. she had. let's go man she can buy a house in washington d.c. . kimberly what's the white house saying about me and i. well the white house is essentially echoing what she had protests and pointed out just moments ago that the charges against paul mann afforded rick dates are financial in nature and have nothing to do with alleged collusion between the trump campaign and russia something the president has repeatedly said many times again echoing on twitter as early as monday morning this morning the white house press

secretary sarah sanders for her part speaking to reporters said that this is just further evidence the a diamond proving what the president has said all along that the activities that paul mann afford conducted with respect to the lobbying with the ukrainian leader viktor get a cold in fact took place outside of the campaign now that third individual that emerged earlier this month also pleaded guilty or rather pled guilty to lying to f.b.i. investigators papadopoulos now certainly there are some interest in his role as one reads the indictment it certainly does become clear that he is alleged to have made an effort to try and coordinate meetings between a russian nationals and members of donald trump's presidential campaign but the white house press secretary sara sanders responding to questions about that downplayed papadopoulos his role this individual was the member of the volunteer

advisory council them at one time over the course of a year and he was part of a list that risk read out in the washington post and hardly call that some sort of regular adviser or as you want to you know pledge that he's like a senior member of the staff it's he was not paid by the campaign he was a volunteer on a again i counsel them it wants. now president trump's personal advisor and attorney jay sekulow has also been speaking and commenting on these indictments he also is saying like the white house press secretary that he personally is not concerned by these developments these charges that both paul matter for gates of pled not guilty to in fact he says that this is good for the country in his words it's good for the president it shows that the russia probe by robert mueller is moving along and in his view it's important to note that in all

of this the president is still not the focus of any formal investigation and the piano to that the white house continues to cooperate and in his view has been transparent in nature can be held at their life from the white house kimberly thank you and u.s. court has got donald trump's administration from enforcing a ban on transgender people serving in the military made the announcement via twitter in july citing the medical costs associated with allowing transgender servicemen and women but a group of sand transgender service members asked the court to block the ban while their claims are considered. spain's chief prosecutor has filed charges against kaplan leaders as the region's deposed president. and other cabinet members are reported to have headed to brussels the charges same could be. if convicted the leaders could face up to

thirty years in jail anderson it's reports. the police may be guarding its but the siege of regional government here no longer has a president as its head the spanish state is in charge of its flag didn't get removed when says session was declared by parliament last friday and the sign of carlos. is his portrays his name is among twenty others on the charge sheet filed by spain's chief prosecutor. the prosecution has filed several charges for rebellion addition and embezzlement against the main political leaders of the catalan regional government with their actions and decisions over the past two years have caused an institutional crisis that resulted in the unilateral declaration of independence this was carried out without observing and ignoring our constitution. these charges of the worst case for the

site cataloging leaders sedition carries a maximum of fifteen years in jail and rebellion a maximum of thirty years. some ministers braved it out by appearing for work then being asked by police to leave one was defiant. we will continue. later came separate meetings of both parties that were in the government coalition and they both agreed to take part in elections called by the spanish government for december more twists and turns in a crisis with so many dimensions and now. how can you have a politician who declared a republic but now want to stand in the elections and do similar zero possible well let's go to how to abdel-hamid to barcelona and. doing in brussels that. well that's we really don't know what he's doing in brussels except in the last ten

minutes or so. newspaper who is quoting again his lawyer. saying that a belgian lawyer and that. would be the man who had arranged back in two thousand and ten political asylum for a basque separatist now this is just what we are seeing reported in cattle and papers quoting this lawyer we cannot confirm that what i can say is that throughout the day everybody has been wondering where. there was a lot of attention on this building behind me this is where his office and his cabinet have their offices. no one has showed up. he sort of on social media by posting a picture of this building that he might be. coming in or out and then we heard in

direct. confirmation from different sources in the country we heard for example from a senior member of the people's party that's the party of prime minister. confirmed by mid-afternoon that. was in brussels we also heard from the interior ministry in madrid again about an hour or so ago that they were not worried about the president's presence of. belgium rather they were worried of him showing up in this building earlier today we haven't. also any confirmation or denial from his supporters from his political party or from other members of the cabinet who are still here in catalonia in spain he should be there i mean the reports we're getting is he's there with five other members of his cabinet and holder this was the first working day in reality with madrid in charge times in going.

well it's been going quite smoothly there was a lot of attention earlier today. from people and from the spanish media trying to figure out who will come in and out from this building. other members of cabinet going to their various ministries around town but none of that has happened except for one who went in and then came out saying that he was continuing his they schedule now as far as civil servants for example they all went to their work and now they're in a very difficult position because at the end of the day they're getting their salaries from madrid madrid allocates a monthly budget to the catalan regional government and it pays the civil service so they do know with the source of that money i would say there was a lot of apprehension all eyes were on the government. everybody wanting to know

how it would act none of that happened today but what is certainly lingering on the streets is this sort of division between the independent. who are pro union and you see sort of. insult to the verbal fights erupting between the two sides and sometimes on the streets you also see people for example coming on the square carrying the spanish flag then you see someone else coming and carrying the cattle and. you do feel that the vision and i think the worry. sometime at some point this is going to come head to head and that's what they're most concerned about. i'm a plot report on the remarkable return of the animal that hasn't been seen in britain for centuries and they control the sea it's causing by its ability to take down

trees and the change of whole landscape. the stormy weather is now making its way into eastern parts of europe squatting down across central air is still pieces of cloud here but the other think of cloud the area of low pressure responsible for those storms at the end of the weekend now pushing. a switch dragging quite a cold wind still single figures moscow four degrees celsius with some snow still single figures there for and vienna warsaw six seven eight degrees celsius those kind of numbers the mall rat is making its way in from the line take and that will fade in little area of high pressure just nosing in across england and wales you see temperatures getting up to around thirty to forty degrees and by the time we get to where to stay we're looking at double figures. and also for the end

a little more cloud coming through as is normally the case at this time of the if you get them out of weather that usually means damp dahlan cloudy for the south it's fine dry and sunny in that pleasant sunshine stretching across a good part of the maddest right into northern areas of africa we're into the low to mid twenty's head general looking set with a good deal of sunshine twenty two celsius. the showers well they continue across central parts of africa as one might expect stretching from the whole of africa right across to the gulf of. just to. give. you a. good home loan. you want to do good that's what you're. trying to get them like that you just

have. jumped from the drug. with the wind to being. just on. our mind our top stories here on al-jazeera us president don't chums former campaign manager paul man of ford has pleaded not guilty to charges including money laundering and d. fraud in the u.s. now the charges arose from the investigation into alleged russian meddling in last year's election business associate poll gates has also been charged and pled not guilty. it's also march that a third person with links to the truck campaign george the dope list as it pled guilty to lying to federal investigators where his relationship with russia.

spain's top prosecutor has called for catalonia former leaders to be charged with sedition bezel into funds and abuse of authority after last week's declaration of independence spain's central government has not taken direct control of the region . let's get more on our top story from she has her times in who's outside the district court in washington so she hopped in the last few minutes home on a force lawyer has spoken what do they say. he was very defiant he said i think you'll saw today that president trump was correct there was no evidence that mr manifold the truck campaign colluded with the russian government he then went on to make the argument that mr mann a fool in his lobbying on behalf of the ukrainian government was simply doing what . you're trying to bring the ukrainian government closer to actually in this particular case that the us and the e.u. and ukraine closer together through this political lobbying that there's nothing

terribly under hound about this no nothing is in the indictment it's what we understand to happen is that mr amount of four and his associates that goes to gates they did not declare that they were agents of a foreign government that we had mention of the word far along the foreign the foreign agents registration act so that means when lobbyists take on work on behalf of a foreign government they have to declare that they are agents of a foreign government this did not happen and pull out a full is case and therefore not to me that the according to the indictment he then hid the millions of dollars that he made from the ukrainian government in a network of businesses and bank accounts around the world to fund a very lavish lifestyle that the law did not address those comments but did call the child is ridiculous adams and this is where things got a bit difficult to hear what the lawyer was saying but he seems to be suggesting that there's nothing wrong with having offshore accounts not what we understand from the indictment is this isn't just having a few offshore accounts this is having a network of offshore accounts and companies for money laundering millions and

millions of dollars in order to pull out a fool's life stop so defined space from missed amount of wow we only had a statement from the lawyer for. the gates that fighting this it would appear we understand that they will try to get the information exact information but we know that the prosecution has been asking for a ten million dollars bail for amount of four five millions five hundred for gates and for them to be able to home confinement we're still waiting for confirmation of all those but all these details now she has time to there live from. washington d.c. thank you. can you present who or kenya has won the re one of the presidential election with ninety eight percent of the vote kenya's electoral commission says that the poll was free and fair and credible despite it being postponed in some areas but it was held without a strong opposition candidate for many questions remain about the president's mandate for me to miller reports now from nairobi. the official announcement that

who kenyatta had secured his second term in office was no surprise for millions of kenyans but a low voter turnout of thirty eight percent has raised questions around the legitimacy of the selection which was ordered by the supreme court after it's an old or because presidential vote saying the electoral commission had committed illegalities. deliberately sixty. ninety percent. of the same. ones. or. it. was nothing more. than the realization. of a. state. ten. or or so. trace.

the rerun was marred by violent protests when opposition leader raila odinga and his national super alliance party boycotted the election preventing at least one point eight million kenyans in opposition strongholds from voting. in total at least twelve million kenyans stayed away from the polls observer mission say besides the impact of the boycott violence and intimidation kept many of the voters away from polling stations. described the vote as a sham with the electoral commission not making the reforms the opposition had demanded for it to participate in the vote virtually every other issue that we raised that last time is present in this election and more and what has happened is that this time around i think i was in a crisis over legitimacy a crisis of trying to shore up the numbers so that it appears that there is

a legitimate mandate for president grouping at the un in the course of it they have done unimaginable things i can think of at least seventeen different grounds from the official even if the election is challenged at the supreme court there are concerns the courts may not act independently concerns around the independence of the judiciary was heightened when the court refused to hear a petition to perspire own last week's rerun saying there weren't enough judges present whether or not this election is challenge legally there are many kenyans that hope this final announcement will bring months of political tensions and uncertainty to an end but as kenya addressed the nation asking for unity protests began fueling fears that both political and ethnic rivalries are far from over. jazeera nairobi. united states is pledging sixty million dollars to support a new force to patrol the south western sahara desert the so-called g.

a time past that some in part would like to see return britain was once covered in wilderness like this and in this wilderness it's all manner of animals including baz wolves and lynx of course all those animals are now long gone hunted to extinction is the human population grew and cleared land for agriculture where there is a species that hasn't been seen for hundreds of years and has now returned and here in devon the fascinating evidence felled trees and downed waterways the trademark work of not only active beavers rejigged used after an absence of five hundred years now the focus of license monitoring trials at different locations in the u.k. they're really good engineers they're also very industrious creatures as well as feeding they're looking to maintain expand their landscape but the good thing about the visit is that it's a landscape that suits lots of other animals too so it's virtuous circle it's what

we call a keystone species that the it changes it's landscape but it changes the wildlife as well that fills that landscape such cautious monitoring of the beavers reintroduction is essential five hundred miles to the north in scotland the impact of unchecked beaver populations is a big problem for farmers this is normally dry and they've belted down just in the ditch over here and they are busy trying to flood this area on a swathe of prime farmland across this year and beyond a group of b visit let loose illegally in two thousand and two has grown to an estimated four hundred fifty individuals it cost me four to five thousand pounds a year to degrees out because i have to hire an addict but when the water rises blocking out the drains causes flood damage into the fields which return and produce crops often produce food off. that is a major problem for us we need to manage. is responsive to the needs of farmers
