you're with the newspaper live on air we're streaming online through you tube facebook live and at al-jazeera dot com conceived in moscow executed in the u.s. that's a federal grand juries take as it indicted thirteen russian nationals and three organizations for tampering in the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election so for a senator ference in the polls is not fake news all the indictments marks the first criminal charges against the russians by special counsel robert mueller it centers on a social media effort that began in twenty fourteen and continued to the election it doesn't accuse any american of knowingly participating in the meddling president donald trump as you can see right there was quick to react on twitter saying the results were not impacted the trump campaign did nothing wrong no collusion but the federal indictment does not resolve the collusion angle that's at the heart of the

continuing probe remember the investigation has earlier produced charges against four trump associates well the u.s. national security adviser master says that russia's efforts at polarizing western societies are just not working and as you can see with the f.b.i. indictment the evidence is now really incontrovertibly and available in the public domain whereas 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 the law enforcement investigation it's going to be very apparent to everyone well russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov dismissed the indictments. mr foreign minister i just wanted more your reaction is to the indictment stewart published yesterday the united states that show you just 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 tom argument covering the story joining us from washington d.c. so president trump was quick to react tom but how is all of this going down in the u.s. . well as you see in the headlines in today's major newspapers in the united states it does command the headlines however it is competing with the aftermath of the shootings in florida understandably but what's interesting here is the impact here in washington

a lot of people on capitol hill and in various other quarters in the government say that the any effort to spike the moeller investigation now seems practically politically impossible because of the factual details as outlined in the indictment and obviously also contradicts the president's longstanding claim that the that the whole issue of collusion or at least interference in the election was a hoax the headline in the washington post says. what the president calls a hoax turns out turns out to be real the former director of the national secure or rather cia john brennan tweeted that this claims of a hoax are now left in tatters and in fact the president's reaction today or last last night actually to the indictments. notably. walks back any of the implications of his long standing implications that this is just

a democratic explain explanation of why hillary clinton lost the election and more and more importantly the president says that this proves that there was no collusion the head of the or rather the chief democrat on the house intelligence committee responded by saying that in fact the indictment and the statements by the deputy attorney general outlining the indictment says actually that the oak leaves open the question of whether the campaign knowingly played a role in in the in interference in the election moreover the president has still not responded to the the out. the explanation of the. expressions of concern about what the implications might be for the two thousand and eighteen and two thousand and twenty elections in the year in the united states and what efforts the government is now making to prevent further meddling in those elections tomei

comment thank you for that update from washington we're chalons has more from moscow well the way this usually works particularly on weekends is that you get early comments coming from senior lawmakers other figures in the russian political scene and then some time later in the day will probably get a response directly from the kremlin itself so what we've had so far is low in its use is a senior russian lawmaker with some fire and brimstone stuff that these senior lawmakers often come out with he said that how could thirteen people affect the voting by more than three hundred million people in america with its huge state apparatus and billions of dollars in election spending he says that this is something straight out of a hollywood criminal comedy that could be called putin the scene and interesting we've also heard from. who is widely believed to be the

boss of the troll factory and simply that's at the center of this indictment also known as putin the chef by the way now he says that americans are very impressionable and that they see what they want to see if they want to see the devil let them he has no problems as he says with being on this list. well let's just take a closer look at what's being alleged in the indictment so the st petersburg based internet research agency is a major target of the investigation it's said to have undertaken operations aimed at interfering with elections and political process sees also known as the troll factory it's accused of manipulating social media in the united states and staging political rallies in support of donald trump while attacking hillary clinton named in the indictment is this man right there you see him his name is a pretty close and he's a close associate of the russian president vladimir putin and one of russia's richest men he's listed as financing the troll factories operations now twelve

other individuals are also on the list accused of working in the united states to further the firm's objectives we can now speak to all of our new in tallinn estonia he's the c.e.o. of the technology firm cybernetica he's also worked in the estonian government on cyber security issues thanks very much for speaking to us on the news with your initial reaction to what's come out in this indictment does the scope off the russian effort surprise you or shock you at all. i think it's been you know why be expected. to know with these investigations coming up and now finally. as we were also noted in the news we have something to talk about. evidence of what happened at the munich security conference going on right now the u.n. secretary general and when you get terrorist called for a serious discussion about the international legal framework in which cyber war is

take place do you agree that that is the way forward how do you prove that prevents this from happening. well and the the show the governance of the cyber space has been in discussions or at least twenty years and if you look there have been. initiatives like put up this convention or cyber crime there are two or so ready for it in two thousand and one so there have been international legislations it's just that it becomes more and more acute today to have these kind of frameworks in place but obviously it's a very high stakes game it's a very very complex issue and it's a very very hard it's very very hard to reach an international consensus and in this in this serina when we look at for example at european union and what european

union has done in the last. in the last president they have come a long long way and actually also regulating what's happening in the cyber space especially in information security but these discussions have even in europe taken a very very long time and finally. at the end of last year we have seen the enactment of network. information security directive coming into place so these things from a governing perspective take a very very long time and back to the reason they have the indictment for a for a moment here the investor the indictment does not say that russia changed the actual outcome of that election in the united states is there any way of knowing that's for sure well i definitely. cannot say that and i don't think there is any easy way of saying that if you go basically the

indictments are talking about. many believe social media manipulation root people perceptions and that is very very weird. ok we will leave it there we thank you very much for speaking to us from. or how people react to to the story online retailer a during this been a huge reaction online in the past twenty four hours we've seen over eight hundred thousand tweets just searching for muller mainly coming from the united states europe australia as well as some posts coming from russia now are seeing two arguments some have dismissed that the allegations are real saying that the interference actually had no interference on the outcome of the election here's a tweet from alexei kovalev he says that he's downplaying the role of the thirteen russians involved calling them underpaid journalists from failing local news

outlets adding that the internet research and agency was the only place that would employ them and then chris hayes from m s n b c says that this whole discussion about whether the russian operation impacted the outcome of the election is ridiculous because it is in a deep sense unknowable and also not the point but then you have dan pfeiffer the former advisor to president barack obama he responded with this saying that in a race decided by eighty thousand votes over three states everything matted. then professor richard painter thinks that this is about the social media side of the russians a version and he adds that one thing is clear that anyone who says the russian investigation is a hoax is a fool and has no business holding federal office now social media did play quite a crucial role in this campaign according to the indictment the defense the actual defendants it's the pose as americans and formulated strategies to support and

disparage the presidential candidates now their plans include things like political rallies like darren has said also posing as a grassroots groups and promoting their agenda through social media using hashtags like trump twenty sixteen and hellery for prison a facebook twitter and google have all admitted to congress that the internet research agency hosted thousands of fake accounts on that platforms now the tech companies have spent months pledging to fix these issues ahead of the twenty eighteen mid-term elections that are coming up pretty soon and they have retreated that those same promises will be trying to achieve for the coming the future ahead now i. know what you think of the status of elements send us your thoughts using the hash tag news grid bearing and for more in-depth analysis you can head to al-jazeera dot com where you'll find this order call right there or along with the president's reaction it's there it is donald trump he's tweeted and

action on syria north korea and iran mcmaster also said public reports show that the syrian government is continuing to use chemical weapons according to him he also warned north korea's nuclear program poses a threat to the world 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 arend deal and counter iran's destabilizing activities including its development and proliferation of missiles. and its support for terrorist proxies and militias that fuel destructive conflicts across across the greater middle east so while that is happening indoors there have been protests on the sidelines of the munich security conference outdoors it's an annual demonstration with people rallying against

a range of subjects including nato but this year has also seen a large turnout of kurdish demonstrators there rallying against the advances of turkish forces in northern syria live not to have someone about who is joining us from munich so a lot of hot topics so were discussed how summarize it say topics on a lot of hot spots in the region. indeed during a particular with the journal. trans national security and highlighting the white house as a vision when it comes to the dealing with areas particularly of the middle east and north korea as far as the middle east is concerned they said basically other the biggest challenge that the administration faces is the conflict in syria blaming the government for continuing to use chemical weapons and saying that the international community has to afford the government accountable for those

practices but we have to wait and see what would be the next step by the u.s. administration which has been accused by different regional partners for distancing itself from the conflict over the last few years. also has been very critical of iran saying that iran is the destabilizing factor and that there needs to be a very strong approach by the international community to contain iran and speaking of iran then it's to morrow that we hear from not only iran but as well as saudi arabia what do we expect they're. talking about two key regional players there why every has been creating some tension over the years sound arabia has been accusing iran of destabilizing the region by trying to promote radical she ideology and also. financing proxies particularly in places like syria and also in the yemen accusations that have been

dismissed in the past by the iranian government which has been accusing on easter sunday arabia of colluding with. the west to try to undermine the islamic republic it would be really interesting to see to listen to what the saudi foreign minister i did their job or higher. going to say two more and also the response from the iranian counterpart mohamed study of the every the growing tension in the middle east has been an issue of concern for the munich security conference for many world leaders who took to the podium to deliver their keynote speeches basically saying that those ongoing challenges and conflicts in the middle east in particular hamper some of the international efforts to try to do to contain the crisis in syria for example and to continue the fight against isis which has been gaining some ground in different boss of the middle east they're hoping to be able

to have the key regional players set their differences aside and try to move forward something which many experts here believe is going to be extremely impossible because of the growing divisions between the two key regional players iran and saudi arabia has some how about a reporter from munich thank you a suspected serial killer has been sentenced to death in pakistan for the rape and murder of a six year old girl zainab ansari is a body there she is was found in a rubbish dump her death sparked nationwide protests with claims of government in action as well as police incompetence as empty as tire 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 kasuri the town where she lived with her family near the eastern city of lahore investigators say she was raped and strangled twenty four year old

a revolution that promised a monumental change but has yet to deliver it's seventy years since libyans rose up against moammar gadhafi he's now gone but the country remains unsettled with two groups backed by armed groups competing for power as mahmoud had reports from the capital tripoli the peace and economic security people dreamt of seems as distant as ever. does not enjoy his business as he once did in the old days he says when the financial situation was a staple in libya he used to have fourteen will close in his shop but not now and the couple of smith's hardly gets any orders to make anything new levitra have the rare 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 to compete in the 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 kira's zakaria took part in the twenty eleven 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 and i. leave you know a freely but the situation looks a bleak on the ground prices for every day goods have risen in 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. tripoli or for more on this let's bring in political analyst the best see it or so actually his joining us from tripoli itself thanks for speaking to us on the news greg seven years on do you think that there is one biggest challenge one big challenge facing libya or are there several and what would you say that would be. yeah well as you've said in your report today we mark the anniversary of the seventeen the five revolution and that was seven years ago when the libyan people have gone out in the streets and fought against the gadhafi regime and eventually everybody knows gadhafi is gone. after that it's a different story of course as everybody knows libya has gone through many challenges over the last seven years but myself as a libyan i still do believe that the libyans have it is

a nation under will to fully implement what we went out for seven years ago there are a lot of values and principles that the libyan people went out for seven years ago and we still fighting for these values and principles so then you're not angry with the united nations when the u.n. said just this week that a political solution in libya remains out's off a reach in the new or in the near future. i've seen that report. everybody's agreeing that this is a grim picture unfortunately but as i said i still believe that the libyans has enough determination to go through. a lot of challenges are still facing the libyan people as you all know libya has never had a new constitution before the gadhafi regime itself or that it was never clear political system in place or or institutions it's all it was only

a one guy show so it was much expected that after the fall of gadhafi and after of course that fight which lasted several amounts of months between the libyan people and the gadhafi regime we were all expecting all these types of challenges but of course. this was not a devolution that was never delivered forgive me that with no forgive me forgive me for a second just for the sake of time this was not a revolution that was limited to the people of libya there were a lot of outside powers that were involved at the time of the nato led intervention as well as today and twenty eighteen so what's the solution to that. you know you're absolutely right there what will happen i'll tell you what happened in two thousand and eleven everybody was an agreement that gadhafi must go on talking international wise right after that it was absolutely clear that there was no clear strategy for the way forward here in libya because of the international parties all

of them they have their own different agenda when it comes to libya and that was one of the biggest challenges that we libyans face today in libya because what's happening in the report a report that there are two groups in libya now backed by different groups and that's absolutely why that but that's due to the regional influence inside libya because different at the national. parties they support different players inside libya which makes it absolutely complicated to even implement the libyan political agreement which was signed back in two thousand and fifteen this negative international intervention in libya and the disagreement between different international parties makes it even harder for us here in libya to achieve peace and stability sounds like i mean on one side we do welcome of course the united nations. so actually i will have to leave it there we thank you very much for speaking to us from tripoli in libya a regular what more have you got on the story for us all

a lot of people are talking about libya but linking it to the hash tag fab seventeen they've been have been tweeting about the importance of this day and this is what one told us. the seventeenth of february not only serves as the anniversary to the start of the revolution that overthrew moment but it also serves as a living any were mind. of the potential that holds one people are able to put their differences aside and work towards a common goal and many more libyans took to twitter to celebrate libya's independence and look back at look back on gadhafi his legacy the need to described by many as a dictator who stayed in power for way too long aslan says that gadhafi had a habits of torturing and hanging dissidents in public square as weiss in the country's wealth on endless wars to destabilize other countries and not to as that as we celebrate the independence of libya after years of autocratic power we are in

a motus who sacrifice themselves to pave the way for a stable future and then she adds a picture of herself there and then there's no idea who says this is the very reason why she's not celebrating she says that she's always been a strong supporter of the february seventeenth revolution but not today in respect of those who have died for no reason and those who are still suffering because of this so-called revolution so if you are in libya we do want to hear from you get in touch with us using the hash tag news grid and let us know what you think this day means to you well our show up front put together the show right there you'll see it and they discuss in fact the libyan revolution seven years on and mehdi hasan and his guests debate how far the country has come since that day that mama gadhafi was toppled in libya so you can find out a front episode on al-jazeera dot com by going to the shows tab then clicking on up

human rights to rule in favor of an increase but oxfam's head of research says that the roots of the problem also have to be addressed why wage is so low this. strategy of the government. has been to montagne low wages in order to continue to attract foreign investment we need to stop competing with order markets by offering low wages we need to change that mindset in order to to. cascade. the fruits of globalization. that's a steep challenge for a country which has struggled to balance creating jobs with ensuring they pay enough for people to enjoy a decent life. john holden now does it a miscue city. on the issue of minimum wage is something that concerns people right across the world and we previously took up the debate on our current affairs program insight story when switzerland became the first country in the world to
