tampering in the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election the office of the special counsel robert mueller calls it a criminal and espionage conspiracy to support donald trump and attack his opponent hillary clinton this in petersburg based internet research agency is listed as a major target of the investigation. it is accused of manipulating social media in the u.s. and staging political rallies in support of donald trump and disparaging his opponent hillary clinton yevgeny prigogine is a close associate of russian president vladimir putin and the man accused of funding the so-called troll factory twelve other people also named mike hanna reports. an anti 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 us 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 in no other geisha and 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's start to the end to u.s. campaign in two thousand and fourteen long before i announce 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 robert muller's investigation mike hanna al-jazeera washington. russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov dismissed the indictments at a conference in munich. mr foreign minister i just wondered what your reaction is to the indictments were published yesterday the united states that show us one point two five million dollars a month of russian taxpayers' money being spent in trying to influence the american election do you think that was do you see a good return on that investment it's a. i have no response you can publish anything and we have seen those indictments

and i've also read the statements from the homeland security adviser in the u.s. who denied the reports that any country to influence the election results the same was said by mike pence either here or maybe in another european capital so until we have the facts everything else is just blather aurore chalons has more on the reaction from moscow. russian response so far has essentially amplified a sense of incredulity incredulity that thirteen people could of influence the voting of more than three hundred million americans incredulity that these thirteen people could have acted against a billion dollar budget serve u.s. intelligence services and counterintelligence against all the latest innovations and technologies. guinea prigogine who is right at the heart of this indictment says what's widely believed the financial muscle behind this troll farm in st

petersburg is also known by the way as putin the chef a billionaire businessman and now he says well the americans are very impressionable people and they see what they want to see he doesn't mind being on this list years already on a u.s. sanctions list and says that if the americans want to see the devil will let them the russians are also going to be drilling down into the fact that this indictment doesn't explicitly say that the russian government sponsored this election meddling efforts and also that the indictment doesn't say that russia actually changed the outcome of the elections russians also be very aware that the united states doesn't have an entirely clean record was when we got when it comes to in meddling in other people's elections they've done it numerous times in numerous countries over the years and they in fact have done it in russia too in one hundred ninety six when part of the elson looked like he was going to be losing an election to the communists well it was us political advisers that what it for him. now the united

states has used the speech at the munich security conference to call on the international community to take action on syria north korea and iran national security adviser moscow made the comments on the second day of the meeting attended by delegates from more than seventy countries and says public reports show the syrian government is continuing to use chemical weapons he adds north korea's nuclear program poses a threat to the world that we know that syria north korea. are not the only rogue states developing using spreading dangerous weapons now's the time to address serious flaws in the iran deal and counter iran's destabilizing activities including its development and proliferation of missiles and its support for terrorist proxies in militias that fuel destructive conflicts across across the greater middle east. is live for us now in munich so i asked him what one of the

main highlights of this conference of. how is it we've been hearing some very strong words from the russian foreign minister sergey lovell for example about the saying that they have been describing the russian government in negative terms from many will for many years and that even though russia has been trying to commit it's. to deliver on its commitments when it comes it is on them and sees the and of the cold war what they what they have seen is basically nato for example expanding east we've also been hearing from general mike nice strong words about the syrian government and iran saying bad basically that syria has used chemical weapons last april which explained why the americans retaliated but they said but he said also that the syrian government continues to use those weapons asking the international community to step in to talk more about those delicate issues joining me is mr the political analyst mr berman thank you

very much indeed for joining us as you know what does that mean when says that the international committee has to held the syrian government accountable for the use of chemical weapons are we expecting something aggressive in the near future because we know there's not much of an international community these days not to be a security council or anywhere else but we do know that president trump and his administration took it on themselves to hit the syrians in a tactical way directly after the last use of chemical weapons we've seen it at least confirmations of four uses of chemical weapons by the syrian government since the beginning of the year and wouldn't surprise me at all at the top ministration decides to hit them again remember israel certainly did so after iranian drone straight into their territory that the israelis can hit syria without blowback surely the americans get. said also that iran has to be on top of the agenda and describing the two thousand and fifteen. what does he mean by that is

we going to see more of a strong action by the united states of america when it comes to iran's growing influence in the region or first of all let's be clear that mcmaster spent his first. five minutes talking about north korea and that was his top priority not iran it was interesting that for this group and clearly iran is more important to them he put iran in second place so i consider that to be a diminution of the urgency of the iran issue to a degree certainly the united states is pushing the europeans hard to say they want to change the nature of the deal but i think we're still more can towards a compromise a place where the americans say that they want to finesse it at the end of the ten years that the continuing the iranians continuing to actually have inspections and not have breakout capabilities or else there would be sanctions i think the europeans behind the scenes are prepared to find a way to work with americans on that he also said that describing the north korean government the cruel regime of kim has to be stopped from pursuing its policies particularly it comes to developing its nuclear capabilities when we've had from

different parts of this yesterday the needful all of the parties to come together to go she had a settlement what does this leave us well the fact that mcmaster decided to reiterate the policy of denuclearization which we know is a complete nonstarter for the north koreans the chinese certainly recognize that the south korean certainly recognize that the americans do not and so you know the south koreans are trying right now to find ways to build confidence measures maybe to facilitate a direct meeting between president moon and kim jong il and would be the first with this camera get'em the americans are going to have to figure out if they want to be a part of that of they want to do everything possible to stop it and of course we also don't know the wildcard is kim jong un going to start retesting i.c.b.m.'s this is probably the most dangerous issue out there for right now thank you very much into the. house and we've been hearing fairly interesting speeches from weald latest top security analysts and experts about delicate issues to wall we're going to hear from the saudi foreign minister i did as you may have and also from the

iranian for miss a. buddy this comes against the backdrop of what the immune. security council has been describing as a growing rivalry between iran and saudi arabia in the region which for many poses serious challenges this explains why they have been calling for different parties to come together set aside differences and try to negotiate work could be a peaceful way out of many crises that the have been engulfed in with the region. ask him about a life first year in munich thank you well david chaytor is also in munich and he's at the scene of a demonstration that has been taking place there so david what are they protesting about. well first of all let me tell you this is a demonstration that happens every year at the munich security conference so we've got the usual mixture of those people who are opposed to nato those people who want

peace and disarmament very left wing groups but this year what stands out is that this time we have a large contingent of a kurdish kurdish protesters testing against the winds turkish invasion and of northern syria and his attempts to clear the kurds out of the enclaves they have in northern syria particularly are free and now three in is the word that we're hearing a lot at this demonstration so that is well marked out at the moment so that adds a security problem for the police they they worried that in some way there might be an attempt or at least some sort of violence during the course of this demonstration but very we've heard from members of the kurdish community here they're very worried about the fact of the turkish attacks on their communities in northern syria and they're making sure that their voices heard there are up to

about four thousand demonstrators we understand but they are certainly most certainly outnumbered by the police here at the moment. david chaika life first there in munich at the scene of those protests thanks very much. we got plenty more ahead on this news out the sites of the worst of massacres during the breakup of yugoslavia ten years after kosovo declared independence. accusations of force for the actions this in kenya's forest with only a few thousand indigenous people left. in the end bob would reject. and later in sport roger federer rewrites the tennis history books again peter will have the. solar still ahead but first a six month state of emergency has been declared in ethiopia one day after the unexpected resignation of prime minister haley money. the country has seen

a wave of protests fueled at least in part by ethnic divisions and let's take a look at what's behind the turmoil since the civil war came to an end in one thousand nine hundred ninety one the country has been ruled by a four party coalition called the e.p. r.d.f. or ethiopian people's revolutionary democratic front but despite a power sharing agreement the grand party has dominated the coalition it doesn't include representatives from three other ethnic groups the m hard and southern nationalities but keep in mind there are more than eighty different ethnic groups in ethiopia and many of them accuse the to groening elite of centralizing power and controlling the military mohammed atta reports it's calm on the streets of ethiopia's capital addis ababa but the country slipping into a deeper political crisis on friday the government imposed a state of emergency to steamroll we will invest the defense minister confirmed on saturday it will last for six months and includes a ban on protests governance and publications that incite violence. the moment

full of the sudden resignation of prime minister high limit imbecile and who had been in office since two thousand and twelve. said his departure as prime minister and chairman of the ruling if europeans peoples are pollution of democratic front correlation was to enable necessary reforms in government. have been lost the most russians and if your peers largest region i'm hotter and recent months with protesters calling for political and economic reforms. and and and to state corruption. a ten month state of emergency end of last year but failed to stop the protests particularly by your peers you who have increasingly come to view dymo sessions as the only way to bring about meaningful change doesn't so protesters of been killed and many more injured since two thousand and fifteen is condemned nega is one of six thousand political prisoners released by the government this year in

an effort to ease growing tensions to be and could 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 as big prison into a democratic state opposition leaders say here prison ruling coalition has lost its all forty that demanding all parties be involved in deciding the country's future relinquishing you know this country's economy are funded really. it is too big for one political group for the long. run fields of hundred million people. years of unaccountability and atomisation of the country's politics it's your beauty tipping point some say justice repression and lack of men in full democracy have instilled a sense of despondency if your peers with winning coalition that the every is expected to meet within days to choose a successor. but the stakes are high and slim for the premiership intense

what about the coalition decides who will have a huge impact on how with your peers governed mohammed oh i'll just say you know what the libyans are marking seven years since the start of the revolution many though say there hasn't been much to celebrate protests that began in benghazi eventually led to the toppling of colonel muammar gaddafi in twenty eleven but libya has been deeply divided ever since in july two thousand and twelve the country held its first free elections in more than forty years and that transitional government handed power to the general national congress based in tripoli more elections followed on the house of representatives was formed in twenty fourteen but the gnc refused to give up power in tripoli forcing the house of representatives to reside in the port city of tobruk in may two thousand and fourteen after taking charge of the army renegade general khalifa haftar are launched an offensive eventually allied himself with the house of representatives

but in december twenty fifth in the un attempted to broker peace setting up the government of national accord the internationally recognized government took office in early twenty sixteen but fighting continued after have to launch the second offensive mahmoud i did what i had reports from the capital tripoli on how political divisions there are taking a toll on the lives of many libyans. i'm so deep does not enjoy his business as he once did in the old days he says when the financial situation was a stable in libya he used to have fourteen will close in his shop but not now and the coppersmith hardly gets any orders to make anything new or have the where and sometimes we work it for a whole day and end up with almost nothing in our pockets many clients have not come to pick up the pieces several months because of lack of money libyans have been through a lot over the past seven years two competing bases of dozens of rival groups

and conflict and consequently a financial crisis but some here say they have not lost their faith in the revolution and are hoping for change while others say they're disappointed. since twenty eleven many libyans celebrated the anniversary of the seventeenth of february revolution but the country has a slipped into care years. 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 nora 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 and i. leave you know freely but the situation looks a bleak on the ground prices for everyday 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. nobody 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.

the middle east i think i think it's been a really old one this winters of you know so it's been how warm it's been here and we haven't had any significant rain to speak of arson but also across the region we've had some really heavy rain as mentioned earlier this weather system has brought some really quite bad weather to parts of iraq but here in the arabian peninsula this time of the get a maximum temperature of about twenty two to twenty three degrees celsius now we've been seeing temperatures up to about twenty eight in doha because we've got the southerly feed coming up across the deserts of a yemen and saudi arabia across the empty quarter so it's very warm air coming up from this direction bit of cloud of put in there just indicating remnants of this cold front which is coming down from the north and it will eventually bring about a change of temperatures but the meantime still looking a bit dusty in places and i should tomorrow we could get thirty degrees here which is crazy at this time of the year and again we're still waiting for some rainfall to say usually do get some periods of heavy winter rain could still happen but we will find as we head through towards monday it will get that slightly cooler

weather coming down so i could a weather still fantastic weather here at this time of the year meanwhile further north well we're hoping we're not going to see much more of this happening in baghdad drenching rain which has been affecting many parts of the city with the rainfall totals two or three times what you don't expect are in the entire month the could be some more rain to come this air flow pressure just the east west has got to move through over the next twenty four hours. as the lead on al-jazeera from a serving new dawn we have reaction to south african president still around the first his first state of the nation address. and he is for peter will be here with the details as tiger woods struggles to make the cut on the p.g.a. tour. while the world is really what they want. the world's poor must beg to survive

from the streets of manila to the roots of known people and power investigates the injustices of a globalized economy. and how different countries responds to those at the very bottom of society. begging for life. at this time on al-jazeera. how famous he was. to. represent. all. i knew immediately this is a cover. on the. al-jazeera investigation. this time.

and again you're watching al-jazeera minder of our top stories the f.b.i. has indicted thirteen russian nationals and three russian companies are alleged tampering with the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election they're accused of a criminal and espionage conspiracy to support donald trump's campaign. the united states has called on the international community to take action on syria north korea and iraq national security adviser made the comments at the munich security conference he says syria continues to use chemical weapons while iran's proxies are becoming more powerful and north korea poses a threat to the world. a suspected serial killer has been sentenced to death in

pakistan for the rape and murder of a six year old girl. saudi's body was found in a garbage dump in january week after she was kidnapped killing sparked nationwide protests and criticism the government wasn't doing enough to protect children. is a political analyst and policy development advisor he joins us now. skype from islamabad to talk more about this case now this was a story of course that sparked a nationwide anger when it happened what role did the public pressure play in this in this particular case to getting to the. result that that's happened today well it certainly looks that it was entirely in response to the pressure that any good at all. because as as by the other or to the. cases that have been saudi it was. well case of this nature that

out just on the part that. state so the fact that this would happen over the time of your sleep and for some. it was a lovely body of young children did not stir the american arch of already. this twelve months or you know you only because the your reaction across the country was just love and so. but of course our thoughts and is going to take something like this to to change things in the future i mean as far as child protection what will there now be a push for for better child protection in terms of law enforcement of law. look you know it's not so i don't know if you particularly or exceptionally negative but

this case was that opportunity and the fact that the trial has gone on as quietly as a day without the kind of. surrounded it in terms of the politics and the noise and the fact that it's been so. and no deal another case that's still to be prosecuted the swiftness with which to. place the manner of. ducted in an antiterrorism or instead of a regular court and the manner in which pakistan has the story already means that the opportunity that this case presented for better child protection for a more honest and sort of the perspective and reflection within society about the stature of it's easy it is for planters like this just to prey on young children all of those opportunities. if you want to basically and this will

essentially close the chapter on this instance but not close the chapter on the exploitation and abuse of children and i think that's a missed opportunity it's a sheriff's lady joining us there from islamabad good speak with our people in kosovo marking ten years since the clearing independence from serbia off the years of conflict in a civil war the claimed thousands of lives but it's been a struggle marked by high unemployment and rampant corruption and although the u.s. and many european countries recognize their independence serbia russia and china still have not because of us prime minister has told al jazeera that has to change all those investments military political financial they're all listening gave them and makes it is very rational to keep it still unfinished business. so we have lost a lot of dogs so that today it's the dog tomorrow is that on but we don't have any

more years for this because your last two decades on this topic what's going to happen you know in the future depends a lot of on cause as leaders and they have to make a bigger focus on things like remove law. dealing with the unemployment rate and having better relationships with their neighboring countries. serbia and montenegro cetera i understand it's joins us live now from pristina so andrew what's happening there right now. well right now we're seeing celebrations something very different to the political heat heat you heard in our interviews there are people actually celebrating and dancing bands playing in the start up of these celebrations which will go on for actually two days but there is an

underlying sadness that has been a gathering of people whose loved ones are still missing taken they say by serb ethnic fighters soldiers perhaps in the war it's nearly twenty years ago now also we have we've seen over the past few days concern by the serb community also with missing persons right the way across the country that is a major issue. but for these people who want better and better government action on it and so also the focus is on the past particularly atrocities one in particular which directly led to the nato campaign of bombing which is seen as the reason for the liberation as it's known of this country and we saw a man one of only five survivors of an atrocity at rates check village not

far from here in which forty five people died. it's a war he's grown used to over the years. still can't comprehend why he lived and his brother died neither men had been fighters they were kosovar albanian and that was a death sentence for those buried here young and old. this happened within the reach of unarmed european observers but the serbs blocked their access rama shabani and others had been rounded up in this yard. pretty hard to stop or to talk to in the hall as you can see first of all they threw grenades and opened fire on the house people were screaming especially the kids who i was laid out and beaten just here then we were ordered to leave in that direction with our hands behind our heads. like the others rama followed directions coming up here

stopping to light a cigarette and then haring shooting he ran in that direction and the rest had come along here and they'd fallen into a trap they call this the red trail paint marks the spots where blood stains belongings and foreign bodies had been found and it was all exposed by this figure from what i personally saw i do not hesitate to describe the event as a massacre obviously a crime very much against humanity william walker's words started a diplomatic trail leading to nato's intervention the bombing of serbian military targets and there were civilian casualties. packet rate check this young man believes the conflict was worth it but byron hire a z who was six when his eighteen year old brother was shot dead says many of kosovo as leaders

a noun neglecting his village and others like it. if we compare raw tracks contributions of the cost of postage i think the authorities have not paid off our sacrifice so many young people attend university degrees only to be unemployed big anomic development to stifle every heist in our village has a person who's migrated to support their family it's the view of many kosovar albanians ten years of independence hasn't carried with it good fortune for all. now let's bring into the conversation dusty posco who is a lawyer by profession but also a well known analyst on all things a course of them can i ask you first of all we saw a young man in that report describing his situation he's very frustrated he's got a masters degree can't get a job and he there are tens of thousands like him all over this country is that

a real threat to the future of this independent state you know will we all know basically a horse this is a populist you know politicians we've actually fooled the people that you know in order to get votes that they can make more money by working less and that's why people love and they've actually even told the people that it's up to the politicians to create jobs you know for the country and that has actually killed the you know private the responsibility individual responsibility for people to take ownership of their own affairs not everybody is waiting for for the government to do something to you know to to create jobs or to give them jobs for them really because we've got a situation here where you've got the biggest young population in europe here and you've got people well qualified but with no work yeah but i mean you know we we should not depend on the government this is you know basically i think if we wait for the government we will never have more jobs we need to take shorter all the

time we live we have a young nation and we can do much about that and the government is the worst performing of this country let's take a listen with the government and also with those comments we heard at the start of our coverage there from the prime minister demanding really that there's more action quickly on the full recognition of course of oh what do you think the timeframe could be in terms of serbia and its actions would it possibly recognize this country sooner rather than later well now it's a good momentum in the in the dialogue with sylvia because. all the parties are working towards it basically if final settlement was sort of your. will ensure that sort of recognizes corso in a form that allows kosovo's you know path towards un membership but the problem is that we have to remember that any solution cannot include in the negotiations at the negotiations about schools or status or even its borders because course will ultimately is not. in and of itself. statehood was the only way to get freedom

basically for the country and any solution that will jeopardize a peace is not favorable to people after thank you very much for your insight one hundred now back to the studio thanks very much anderson is live for us there in pristina are thousands of people from an indigenous forest community in kenya are accusing the government of forcefully evicting them from their ancestral land the same going digital people live their lives in the forest in the western highlands of kenya have been targets of violence and threats from the kenya forest service one man was killed and dozens of homes burned down in the most recent government operation forest wardens say they're kicking out invaders who have been causing destruction to the vulnerable ecosystem about sixty thousand indigenous single people are now scattered across the great rift valley after decades of evictions a few thousand remain in the forest but the exact number is unknown catherine sort
