and anti trump protests 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 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 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 the investigation mike hanna al-jazeera washington russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov gave his reaction to the indictment said a security conference in munich it's a new 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. he denied the reports that any country had 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 for us national security adviser general h.r. mcmaster says the evidence against russia is now publicly available with the f.b.i. indictment the evidence is now really incontrovertible and available in the public domain. in the past it was it was difficult to attribute for a couple of reasons first technically it was difficult but then also you didn't want to divulge your intelligence capabilities but now that this is in the in the in the arena of law enforcement investigation it's going to be very apparent to everyone. and we will hill mcmaster was speaking at the. munich security conference where he's also urged the international community to take action on

the north of syria they say that german weapons are also being used western weapons are also being used to kill the children of our freedom and they want their voice to be heard but of course as you said there's a huge probably presence here they can march quite near the venue but there are several cordons of police lines making sure they get nowhere near it and there's been a large attendance this time something like four thousand demonstrators we understand but the police presence i think you outcomes them two or three to one a huge police presence and that is here mainly because there were fears that because of the the kurdish nature of this march that they would be trouble that could be violence on the way but we've heard no reports of that so far maybe a lot of people are being put off by the blizzard that's happening here in munich

at the moment but still no reports of any violence no reports of any arrests yet but they're hoping to make this one point mainly against the turkish invasion the turkish assault on the enclave about three in which they say is killing their children killing kurdish children they want that to stop. they would take a life first there in munich thanks. suspected serial killer has been sentenced to death in pakistan for the rape and murder of a six year old girl zainab and sorry's body was found at a rubbish dump death sparked a nationwide protests with claims of government inaction and police incompetence into reports. captured on security cameras walking hand in hand with the man who would kill her these are the last known moments of little zaineb and sari's life her body would later be found on a rubber stamp in cars sure the town where she lived with her family near the
