always tell him how famous he was going to make it that's how he presented hello my name and body without manchester city's northwest representatives kind of. teacher put it for. us to do remember that we had this special meeting about the nail and he said no. that's not the topic and you immediately this is a common enough piece on the mainland city yet al-jazeera investigation footholds wall of silence this time. the indictment charges thirteen russian nationals and three russian companies for committing federal crimes. u.s. investigators name those allegedly involved with interfering in the two thousand and sixteen american election including an associate of the russian president.

and welcome to al-jazeera live from a headquarters in doha the problem also ahead. declares a state of emergency after the prime minister's sudden resignation. it's been seven years since the start of the revolution and in libya but have there been any real changes for its people and we travel to the site of one of the worst mass of the breakup of yugoslavia ten years after officially declared independence. the f.b.i. has indicted thirteen russian nationals and three russian companies over alleged tampering in the two thousand and sixteen u.s. presidential election where the office of the special counsel robert muller described it as a criminal and espionage conspiracy to support donald trump and disparage the

candidate he defeated hillary clinton one of the accused as you have got a probe goes in a close contact of russian president vladimir putin he said to have funded the internet research agency that's a russian based social media manipulation firm that's accused of working to undermine u.s. political candidates it is a major escalation in the ongoing investigations as mike hanna reports from washington d.c. . and onto trump protest march in new york shortly after his election this one of the pro and anti trump rallies a special council alleges were organized by the group of russians sometimes at the same time on the same day. part of a massive campaign the indictments say were aimed at promoting donald trump at the expense of his opponents both republican and democrat. special counsel robert miller has indicted a total of thirteen russian nationals and three companies for alleged interference

with the twenty sixteen elections according to the unsealed indictment the accused conspired from two thousand and fourteen until today to interfere with the u.s. political and electoral processes including the presidential election of two thousand and sixteen the special counsel alleges that the group posed as americans and controlled social media accounts but focused on divisive social and political issues. the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein states that there are no conclusions in the indictment that the campaign affected the election result no allegation in this indictment that any american had any knowledge and the nature of the scheme was that the defendants took extraordinary steps to make it appear that they were ordinary american political activists even going so far as to base their activities on a virtual private network here in the united states of anybody traced it back to the first jump and they appear to be americans this interpreted in

a unique way by president trump who tweeted in reaction russia started the end to us campaign in two thousand and fourteen long before i announced that i would run for president the results of the election were not impacted the trump campaign did nothing wrong no collusion. no acknowledgement that the indictments implicitly reject his off stated opinion that claims of russian interference were as he put it fake news donald trump is going to be very worried about today's events in large part because it puts to lie the allegations that he's made for the past year that there was no russian involvement many republicans including president trump and so i've been highly critical of the work being carried out by robert miller and his team these indictments put to an end any attempts to undermine or even a hole to the investigation by the special counsel the other certainty that proof

of russian involvement in the us election is just the beginning and not the end of the investigation mike hanna al-jazeera washington. bruce fein is a former u.s. associate deputy attorney general and he explained what possible ramifications the charges could have for the russian investigation. where this stands now with the next phase that we'll look at will be questioning mr trump and donald jr and others to see whether or not once the investigation was underway through firing of mr cohen we through collaboration and really say a misleading statement as to what happened in june of two thousand and sixteen with regard to meeting with the russians regarding mr trump's apparent efforts to have his white house counsel on the one hand tell what the attorney general did not recuse himself and disobey an order that mr trump gave a one time to fire mr moore those are the areas in my judgment where mr molder will

now turn his lights on but i want to go back to the basic idea of the political element here and that is why would an a a special counsel issue an indictment he knows he's never going to go to trial he knows who is not going to be doing this and even though it seems a little bit from on the fringes this is another step in my judgment that's going to antagonize inflame relations between the united states and russia because one of the indictees as was pointed out is a close friend of putin and that means we can see an arms race that means nothing's going to budge in the ukraine a whole host of issues syria where i think there's going to be a return to a cold war mentality certainly in the short run and i think this indictment will contribute to that. let's move on to other news now and wode leaders are attending the second day of the munich security conference in germany on saturday would you to hear from british prime minister trees in may and russia's foreign minister say

again after all soon the start of the conference hood grim warning that the threat of a major global conflict is at its highest in decades but david chase says that. the world has moved towards the brink of a significant conflict the woods of the organizer of the security conference in beauty it was an opinion clearly. shared by the police who throw protective cordons around the luxury hotel where the event is being staged dozens of world leaders defense ministers and diplomats are attending a three day conference which provides a unique opportunity for a back room discussions away from the spotlight of the media democracy and freedom the values we here in the west value most are in decline are under threat the west our societies appeared to be weaker. than in the past

the international order itself. is that list in the post world war period is at risk one of the key security concerns here has been the growing strain between the united states and other nato nations faced with russia's role in the conflicts in both syria and ukraine secretary general was eager to try and diffuse the tensions but experience diplomats were putting the blame squarely on president trump we see a more assertive russia but we. just pointed out but the same time for nato it is important to avoid a new cold war avoid a prevent the new arms race and therefore we continue to work for dialogue with russia i'm very concerned that president trump has not been a strong leader for nato he's the first american president says nine hundred forty nine to be openly ambivalent about article five attack on one of us is an attack on

all he's been openly competitive with the european union so we're looking at a major sea change in least the rhetoric of the american president. the secretary general of the united nations took to the stage to warn that the middle east was now what he called and authentically quite mild what i seek is changed clearly is that today the whole global middle east became a mess and became a mess with a number of different fault lines that are completely crossing each other and interconnected the fault line that remains between israelis and palestinians the fault line that represents the memory of the cold war that is still there the fault line between sunni and shia and if you can look at these fault lines i described and it is clear that there is a very special position of a country like iran that has a fault line with saudi arabia and its allies the fault line with israel and the

fault line with the united states it was a theme the emir of qatar. picked up the middle east is on the brink he said it's time to bring it back he had a direct message to the gulf nations mounting a saudi led blockade of his country how do regional relations been guided by a set of solid governance and the rule of law we would not have seen nations with limited resources being a blackmailed into hurting their foreign policies for external a we would not have seen the exportation of world power or geographical constraints to satisfy the thirst for power now more than ever the opportunities for the real power brokers here to find a new way forward a baikal. all admit the world is on the brink of a major new conflict can they bring it back maybe change to al-jazeera unique. to now where a state of emergency has been declared

a day after the unexpected resignation of promise to highly death the country seen a wave of protests failed at least in part by ethnic divisions aka reports. the streets of ethiopia's capital addis ababa appear calm but the country's political landscape is slipping deeper into crisis. of friday ethiopia's ruling coalition decided to impose emergency rule to stem a recent wave of anti-government protests there is no indication of how long the measures will be in place the announcement comes a day after the sudden resignation of prime minister haile mariam to sell a new leader of ethiopia since two thousand and twelve he said he was stepping down in a bid to smooth reforms. the country's been troubled by years of unrest by ethnic groups of the m r a n r romeo regions who say they've been marginalized by the government a ten month state of emergency ended last year but failed to stop protests

particularly by ethiopia's youth who have been calling for the release of political prisoners dozens of demonstrators have been killed and many more injured as kinda negara is one of six thousand political prisoners released by the government since january in a bid to ease growing tensions to parent can look at it with ethiopia as one large prison i say this because there is no democracy in the country this is a dictatorship we have to change big prison into a democratic state opposition leaders say ethiopia's ruling coalition has lost its all thought that demanding all parties be involved in mapping the country's future . you know this country funded really. it is too big for one political group for longer a small group to run as aphids of hundred million people even with the resignation of the prime minister the government's tight grip on the country continues and so

inevitably will the protests leave park and al-jazeera. still ahead on the bulletin the promise of a new don't we have reaction to south african presidents senator obama poses first state of the nation address and the f.b.i. under growing pressure off of the agency failed to investigate a test before wednesday's deadly school shooting in florida. hello febreze often the coldest months of winter in the northern hemisphere particularly europe but that's not proving the case at the moment this arc of cloud that you see here being pushed in that direction is being pushed by atlantic when they don't it's never that cold so this result to the well is not like oh ten degrees and not in eighteen past admittedly where you still got cold residual high ground like the out there will be snow for twenty three in vienna as

february revolution but the country has a slipped into k.s. . it took part in the twenty a live in protests he says he does not trust politicians. all the politicians have shown their true faces which they hid before the fall of the gadhafi regime they would rather take from the state than give to it. others take a different view noted dean says he travels from the united states to libya every year to share the ok zhen with his friends and former neighbors he says things are better now than before the revolution for it was very difficult to come back to go to the airport today migration you know and all that stuff now days in. common you leave you know a freely but the situation looks a bleak on the ground prices for every day goods have risen the markets have taken

a tumble and the libyan dinar has lost much of its value. the political division has led to a divide between the economic and security institutions the state has become so weak it's unable to control its own resources oil revenues are the backbone of libya's income and oil production dropped significantly between twenty thirteen and twenty sixteen when four major oil ports were blockaded. by militia. is proud his profession is part of libya's heritage but he fears if there is no solution to the country's economic crisis crafts like his might fade away. tripoli. south africa's new president has promised a new dawn as he delivers his first state of the nation address cimarron oppose it was sworn in on thursday after has a better predecessor jacob zuma quit as requested by his party the a.n.c.

so that we can lift our people out of poverty i'm a poster plans to grow the economy by five percent in the next few years by boosting the agriculture and manufacturing industries and offering more support for small business from up also reiterated his commitment to land expropriation without compensation a policy that remains divisive has also promised to clamp down on corruption stressing the importance of ethical leadership but not everyone is convinced and we realize that the president does not ever played. the president speaks up about commissions speaks about seventy knots speaks up about inquiries yes got no play it was an important speech and that is going to fight other presidents it seems to lack the very idea of what is the total change that we bring the president promised bold change but actually deliver more of the same still rome of course as tone was

resolute at a time when south africans a looking for strong leadership i'm apostle paul is it the dawn of a new era i think is a sense of renewed hope with a president who enjoys wide appeal but still on the force i will be watched closely to see how we implement his policies and delivers on promises with some warning that south africans should to manage their expectations now attentional turn to drum up forces cabinet he's under pressure to change key appointments and root out corruption in government for me to melissa al jazeera cape town was the reading. cradle has high hopes for south africa's new president is known civil rebel positions that were boys two of thousands whose childhoods been spent on the streets of so well to give them a chance. to earn see gives the in. this country were

widespread corruption i'm excited to see what. i think is focus is not on command well it's on putting the country first for many many many positive things as you can hear the speech is ongoing and it's people clapping and rights and it's positive right you know how it is so no is it creates expectations but i'm more at ease excited ease and more confident not externally but but i'm happy with what i hear too far. in soweto and across the rest of south africa people have had his promises they're waiting to see who can deliver what matheson algis if so what. the u.s. president has dodged questions about gun control while visiting the victims of a school shooting in florida donald trump and his wife melania made an unannounced visit to the hospital where he also met privately with medical staff trying to ignore questions from reporters about strengthening legislation i walked into
