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 avoided handcuffs and turned themselves into the authorities in washington the first is paul mann afford the former chair of donald trump's presidential election campaign the other is rick gates a longtime business associate of matter forts and worked with the white house until march both men appeared in court pleading not guilty to a dozen charges they 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. there is no evidence that mr mann a fort with a transparent hate colluded with the russian government the announcement which

caught many off guard that a third person tied to the truck campaign george papadopoulos had pled guilty to lying to the f.b.i. that was over the timing of his meetings with alleged go betweens for russia he is now cooperating with the special investigation led by robert muller as with tall man a fortune rick gates the white house is pushing back diminishing the role of papadopoulos as a foreign policy advisor this individual was the member of a 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 advisor however it's the case of paul manna for which is getting the most attention the indictments paint the picture of a man living a lavish lifestyle when f.b.i. agents raided his home they even photographed his suits as evidence of money laundering more than seventy five million

now and john nichols is national affairs correspondent at the liberal weekly magazine the nation he says it's the indictment against george papadopoulos that could be the most politically damaging i think papadopoulos is the bigger story by any measure and that is because while man ford is a known figure and certainly has been hit with a lot of very major charges along with gates it's papadopoulos who has acknowledged lying to the f.b.i. and that acknowledgement appears if we believe what we're being told to relate to efforts to connect the trunk campaign to the russians and so suddenly and very unexpectedly we have evidence that the miller investigation has gone much further much deeper into the truck campaign and much deeper into the most challenging issues for the trunk campaign and i think most people expected that what hit today

was much bigger than than just one indictment coming down the combination of the man of fort gates' indictments twelve indictments and there are major issues and the papadopoulos indictment or actually acknowledgement of a admission of wrongdoing and a conviction that's that's something that has caused republicans in congress to back off i think a lot of republican media folks to kind of pause for a moment and the word from the white house is that this day is really sort of not the white house back on its feet there they're struggling to figure out you know how to respond and what their approach will be from here on out so i'm not sure that they feel the confidence that they felt a few days ago that they could they could ride this out all still ahead and al jazeera the u.k. government promises to act on claims of sexual harassment to calm the.

legitimacy of the selection which was ordered by the supreme court after it's an old ogust presidential vote saying the electoral commission had committed illegalities. to sixty. nine percent. of the same. ones. or. was. it. with nothing more. than the realization. of aging. state. forest. and. 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. joe you 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 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 and in the course of 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 they are many kenyans that hope this final announcement will bring months of political tensions and uncertainty to an end but is kenya to address the nation asking for unity protests began years ago both political and ethnic rivalries are far from over. now the u.k. prime minister is encouraging workers in parliament to speak up if they've been sexually harassed tories and may says there have already been a number of allegations it comes amid a growing scandal in which dozens of politicians from her party are alleged to having been inappropriate behavior jonah how reports the british parliament is a long way from hollywood but the harvey weinstein affair resonates here to the

palace of westminster gripped now by allegations of sexual harassment and abuse current and historic by m.p.'s and ministers against colleagues volunteers and junior staff few individuals have been named so far international trade minister mark garnier is one revealed to have asked an assistant to buy items for him at a sex shop a claim he hasn't denied and a dossier according to british media reports details allegations against dozens of m.p.'s including serving ministers of inappropriate behavior and sexual advances towards both men and women while the growing scandal is not confined to any one party those listed are all members of the ruling conservative party i think there's a feeble sense in the palace of westminster tonight and more broadly in government about where this scandal leads some m.p.'s have been asking me whether this is the next m.p.'s expenses scandal on that scale i think it very much depends what

happens now the question is to what extent will new allegations be raised and how far will they go up in the chain of governance prime minister tourism a has called on the speaker of parliament to improve measures for reporting and investigating allegations of abuse she's told the thousands of westminster workers to come forward with allegations that her spokesman says will be taken very seriously. all of which puts the prime minister in a difficult position not only does the focus fall for now and comfortably on her own party but with allegations pointing to a long history of sexual abuse in parliament and she's been in parliament for twenty years the question will be asked why is she only acting on it now one labor party m.p. said the prime minister's response did not go far enough these ways of handling it are a fundamental part of the problem now these are people who've sat on their hands before they know who the major offenders are they haven't acted upon them and they need to

do now in a show of serious intent to resume a was in parliament on monday to hear a statement by commons leader and real lead so i am well aware that the public rightly expect m.p.'s to display the highest standards and as the prime minister outlined in her letter yesterday they can be no place for harassment abuse or misconduct in politics parliament and the government may well look forward to a day when the dominant political story is and breaks it but not all will have welcomed a day like this jonah how al-jazeera london. now britain's high court has to determine if peruvian miners were abused by police during protests at a copper mine in two thousand and twelve suing the mining giant glen twelve suing the mining giant glencore accusing it of encouraging officers to be violent to

this incidental but also insisted in their state of mind too that there was no order to kill or harm the indigenous leader in any way and nonetheless this is of course a major flub on part of the rebels and a breach of the cease fire they had started just a month ago that cease fire deal will stand at least for now because according to the protocols of the cease fire and incidental however serious there's not mean an out and i think and to the cease fire or the talks there is however increasing criticism coming from the opposition here in colombia and even among many government officials about the wisdom of continuing the talks with your land which will become only worse if the decides not to turn in those responsible for the killing of students in greece of hold petrol bombs at police during a protest in athens offices responded with tear gas the students are angry at

in the last few weeks the rhetoric between p.r. yang in the north and washington in particular with president trump has really gone up a ratcheting or two a couple of notches so there are concerns about the fire and fury and the threats of total destruction north korea the threats by north korea basically of a another nuclear nuclear test at this one atmospheric so a lot of concern with president trump about to arrive in south korea in the next week there are concerns about what may happen both china and south korea in addition to these meetings of both reaffirm their commitment to peace for ways of trying to get north korea to denuclearize that is actually good news everyone sees this as a very highly emotional and tense situation in korea and the korean peninsula and very much those concerns that it may lead to something happening for an unpredictable nature.
