hello i'm about this and this is all just here a live from doha also coming up a new u.n. report lays out the true impact of the yemen war on the country's children. protests in kenya after another arrest over the mock you know gratian of opposition leader a violent and we out in haiti. riots police are called enough for a gun battle between rival groups of migrants in the french port city of cali. a memo criticizing the f.b.i.'s investigation into russian meddling in the twenty sixteen presidential election has been released after being declassified by u.s. president donald trump it was written by republicans and says the f.b.i. and department of justice abused their power i'm showed bias when investigating the

alleged ties between. as campaign team and the kremlin the f.b.i. had argued against its release saying it had grave concerns the documents contained what it called material of missions of fund democrats say the memo is aimed at dealing special counsel robert well as investigation into the trunk campaign's alleged links to russia our white house correspondent kimberly hawker reports. republicans promised a bombshell that would destroy every idea the trump campaign colluded with the russian government during the twenty sixteen presidential election but in the end he did not meet expectations president trump declassified the memo written by top republicans allowing for its public release even against the advice of his own f.b.i. director and the u.s. justice department the four page report which is part of a larger intelligence document argues f.b.i. investigators looking into alleged truck ties to russia hit the fact some of their

research was funded by democratic party sources it also claims the entire investigation was biased against donald trump from the beginning and that some agents expressed views privately and i think it's a disgrace what's happening in our country and when you look at that and you see that and so many other things what's going on. a lot of people should be ashamed of themselves but democrats argue the memo is simply a summary of republican talking points based on in accuracies house democratic leader nancy pelosi says it's all part of a plan to distract americans from the russia investigation led by special counsel robert muller and alleged campaign ties to president vladimir putin's government in a statement she said president trump a surrendered his constitutional responsibility as commander in chief by releasing highly classified and distorted intelligence by not protecting intelligence sources

and methods he just sent his friend putin a book a trump himself made the argument on twitter prior to the memos release that leadership at the f.b.i. and justice department are out to get him some analysts believe that's more evidence trump is actively obstructing the investigation if you look at the words out of mr trump's own mouth the very incriminating he said repeatedly i need somebody in the justice department who will protect me it's doubtful the memos released will change public opinion about the russia investigation still there is now an effort by some democrats and republicans to literally protect the russian probe from what many believe is a white house effort to derail the justice process kimberly held at al-jazeera washington melanie sloan is a former federal prosecutor who specializes in government ethics she says the white house appears to be distracting the public with the release of the memo. i think

they're getting increasingly frightened about what robert muller is up to there have been other stories this week about bob muller honing in on the pattern of the administration in trying to engage in a cover up we saw stories about the president's spokesperson hope picks saying that e-mails would never come out and we saw that in a previous spokesperson mark carollo had resigned because of his concern about obstruction of justice so i think that the white house is has that's all going on a one sided so they'd much rather distract all of us with discussions about this memo which people who hadn't seen it said it would be one hundred times worse than watergate but yet as jim comey pointed out really there's nothing in it there's nothing new or particularly in lightning in it and so by the same token i think people will now say the people who support trump well see we've got this memo and this memo shows us how corrupt it is and i think a lot of people will never have looked at the memo or have no understanding about what's in it the democrats are going to vote to push

a vote again on monday about releasing their own memo and late this afternoon the white house said if it goes through attempted appropriate process there could be a way to release it but i think that that may be stalling for time to avoid actually having to release the memo so we'll see what happens with the democrats vote on monday one of tom's first orders upon taking office was to review the country's nuclear arsenal that review is now complete it says the u.s. isn't planning to increase the size of its arsenal all of the number of deployed warheads but it does want more modern weapons defense correspondent particle haim reports from washington. u.s. president donald trump never criticizes russian president vladimir putin but the pentagon is doing just that moscow retains a large stockpile of non-strategic nuclear weapons and continues to modernize those as well as its strategic systems this report says aggression from russia. concerns

about china and north korea and potentially iran are the reasons the u.s. needs to modernize its nuclear weapons and it's changing the wording on when it could use them saying the u.s. could use nuclear weapons in extreme circumstances to defend the vital interests of the u.s. what's new is they added this line extreme circumstances could include significant non nuclear strategic attacks the military was asked to clarify what that means it would that also involve the employment of biological weapons against the us population or allies would involve the use of chemical weapons against our people would involve a conventional attack in other parts of the world the context in which an attack occurred on the united states or allies would be how we would evaluate the appropriate response the plan also calls for modernizing the nuclear arsenal that's something the last administration wanted to do and at the time they said it was going to cost more than a trillion dollars over thirty years this plan would undoubtedly be even more expensive and that has not been something that congress has been really willing to

fund at this point. the u.s. also wants to build a new kind of weapon a nuclear warhead with less impact but critics say that could make nuclear war more likely they are literally having weapons that give the president more options to start a nuclear war and that is becoming dangerous particularly we have this president who we all know is impetuous irrational and not always unsound mind recently three high ranking former diplomats went to capitol hill with the warning that the massive destructive force of a nuclear weapon was no longer appreciated or even feared by some in those days people seem to have an appreciation of what would what would be the result of a nuclear weapon or ever used. i fear people have lost that sense of dread the u.s. under president trump is trying to improve its nuclear arsenal and the potential reasons to use it they say in order to improve the odds it won't have to political

gain al-jazeera washington former u.s. state department official says the renewed emphasis on these types of weapons is troubling i have no doubt that the professionals at the department of energy department of defense in the state department who analyze those threats in developing the nuclear posture review had very good and important information where i differ with the final product that was rolled out the south after noon isn't. the case that low yield nuclear weapons have any stabilizing or valuable role to play in today today's threat context in fact i would make the opposite case that there is no real such thing as a surgical nuclear strike on a potential enemy i also have observed that over the last ten to twenty years there is some very strong and compelling can conventional alternatives to

a potential nuclear strike so this renewed emphasis on these types of weapons is troubling and does not leave our allies i think in a very strong position and i don't see how it compels china whose threat i think is somewhat overstated and certainly russia to alter their calculus. a new u.n. report is accuse the saudi led coalition in yemen of killing dozens of children in their strikes last year the study focused on the period between july to september and says the saudis bear the greatest responsibility for the deaths or how much on the job reports. the un report obtained by of dizziness says the saudi led coalition was responsible for killing sixty eight children and wounding thirty six others from july to september and found there were at least thirty coalition air raids every day some targeting schools and homes as well as the saudis the u.n. blames truthy rebels for the deaths of eighteen children and wounding twenty nine

others the u.n. describes what's going on in yemen as the worst manmade humanitarian crisis in the world and the conflict is making an already dire situation even worse it's not just affecting to modernise affecting our everyone and it's affecting seventy five percent of the population so our concern is that as long as it continues we are going to see more and more. secure we're also going to see more and more humanitarian needs and rights as well. the united nations children's fund also known as unicef says more than five thousand children have been killed or injured in the war an average of five children a day since the conflict escalated in march two thousand and fifteen unicef also says that more than eleven million children are in need of humanitarian assistance and nearly two million children are suffering from acute malnutrition. recent outbreaks of diptheria following the world's worst cholera epidemic have further threatened more young lives aid workers say the international community must do more to stop the conflict it is astounding to me that we have

a united nations security council that has not commented on yemen in now more than seven months. that the scale of suffering in yemen is incomparable and we have twenty two million people in need and west speaking to families who are fleeing their homes because of violence in constructing houses out of plastic bags with a political solution looking unlikely any time soon and many worry that already suffering children will be exposed to even more violence and trauma. thousands of people in pakistan have held mass sit ins demanding the arrest and execution of a police officer after a male model was shot dead it's the second day of mass rallies after the killing of twenty seven year old nucky boylan maqsood in an operation on wednesday his family denies the police claim that he was a criminal the officer who led the operation has been relieved of his duties there being protests in kenya after the government arrested a second lawyer involved in tuesday's mock inauguration of opposition leader raila
