got movie theaters inside it's got restaurants or so on or a bowling alley in a children's zoo and the initial reports suggest that a good number of the casualties were actually found in one of the main movie holes in this complex it's quickly taken on the aspect of a national disaster the kremlin is being kept up to speed with how things have been developing the crimean spokesperson jury mitri pescado said that electing presidents has dispatched the emergency minister to the site of the tragedy and various and units from the emergency ministry including robotics and drones and other equipment is being mobilized but for most government and also the city is here at present i ask now because of the severity of this event also a criminal investigation that has very quickly been opened. for a porn star who alleges she had an affair with the u.s.

president donald trump in two thousand and six says she was threatened with physical violence after she tried to go public with the story the first time around stephanie clifford two stage name was stormy daniels. told the c.b.s. sixty minutes show she was accosted by an unidentified man in a car park in las vegas in twenty eleven until to leave trump alone the alleged threat came weeks after she'd agreed to sell details of her affair to a magazine in the us the t.v. interview there she declined to discuss whether she had evidence of the affair with donald trump dynasty brooke has more now from washington with stormy daniels told the television news program sixty minutes that she had one sexual encounter with president trump a little more than a decade ago when he was hosting the television show the apprentice and she said during that encounter he promised her a spot on the apprentice but that failed to materialize when she turned him down for a second sexual encounter a few years after that in two thousand and eleven she says she was approached by

a magazine to sell her story for fifteen thousand dollars but she said she never received the money and that article never appeared because trump threatened to sue the magazine she said shortly after that she was approached in a parking lot and was threatened by a man i was in a parking lot going to a fitness class with my infant daughter was taking you know the seats facing backwards in the back seat diaper bag you know. getting all the stuff out and a guy walked up on me and said to me leave champ alone forget the story and then he leaned around and looked at my daughter and said that's a beautiful little girl and be ashamed of something how much her mom and then he was gone now during the presidential campaign daniels claims that she was offered significant sums from various media outlets to tell her story but she said she instead decided to accept one hundred thirty thousand dollars from the president's attorney i turned down

a large payday multiple times because one i didn't want to kiss and tell and be labeled all the things that i'm being labeled now i don't want to take away from the legitimate and legal i'd like to point out career that i've worked very hard to establish and most importantly i did not want my family and my child exposed to all the things that she's being exposed to right now because everything that i was afraid of coming out has come out anyway and guess what i don't have a million dollars now just in the past week two other women have filed suits against president trump and these are suits that could be prolonged and continued to be a distraction for months if not years diane estabrook reporting that joe watkins is a republican political strategist and for me an aide to president george bush she joins us from philadelphia joe watkins welcome to news and clearly we don't need to know who did what to whom with

a copy of fortune magazine not interested what is pertinent is why an american lawyer spontaneously gave a former porn star one hundred thirty thousand us two weeks before the election. well that doesn't course sound right to most people watching and i think mr cohen is probably going to have some challenges going here is certainly he has one big challenge already which is that the group common cause is file the complaint with the federal election commission and also with the justice department about that one hundred thirty thousand dollars payment saying that it amounts basically to an income and campaign contribution and of course that's in excess of the the allowable amounts and so i think that that's going to be a charge it will likely stick and. they'll cause the mr cohen some some trouble what are the questions that need to be oncet as well vi's of the threats that allegedly took place inside the will inside this last vegas cop and also the line

of connection allegedly we assume as far as stormy daniels is concerned between her and the highest office in the land. well of course this happened back in two thousand and six and two thousand and seven and then the the the incident in the car park happened in two thousand and eleven as we've been told but these are all allegations they are very credible allegations but they're still allegations and at the end of the day dale's is one in a group of about. eighteen or nineteen different women that have made allegations against the present united states before he was president of the united states and so it's basically going to end of being her word against his and. we don't know where that will go i suppose it's more of a distraction than is a thing else but i don't suppose that that poses any kind of a great political threat to dollars donald trump is very different than any other political candidate that we've had in the past because we know that in the past any

one incident like this would derail the candidacy of a person gary hart ran for president in one nine hundred eighty was running in one thousand nine hundred seven for the one nine hundred eighty nomination for president and he was the railed by the allegation that he had a mistress and we know certainly the president clinton had troubles in the one nine hundred ninety s. and other politicians as well have been hurt badly and in some cases their careers have ended because of these kinds of allegations but not so with donald trump that hasn't really affected him from that standpoint so i don't suppose that it's going to affect him seriously going forward unless the special prosecutor decides to to use mr cohen's. background as some kind of leverage mr watkins not wishing to put you in any kind of legal thin ice because you're in the states and i'm not but if he was still a political strategist for the republican party at this level reffing everything about to say roughing it all up in one massive allegedly the allegation is that donald trump married a model nothing wrong with that he then had an affair with a playboy playmate nothing wrong with that he then had an affair with

a porn star ok that's maybe questionable and then he had somebody pay off the pull pull and stop allegedly big allegedly just that damn each him with his base. interestingly it should but it doesn't even the evangelicals in the united states have given him a pass on these allegations from other accusers and as far as his base is concerned these are just allegations made to the real him from his primary agenda so with his base i don't think he suffers at all i think he does just fine with his base of course that he takes a moral hit from the standpoint of how he looks in america and how he looks of the international community but from the standpoint of hurting his base hurting him with his base or impacting the election in two thousand and twenty i don't think this impacts the election in twenty twenty in any kind of a big way joe well can spritz talk to as ever many thanks dozens of people have been injured during protest in boston and calling for the release of the film a

cattle and president. three people were arrested in clashes with the police an estimated fifty thousand people took to the streets in catalonia following arrest and detention in northern germany on sunday he's now waiting to hear whether he will face extradition to spain he's wanted on rebellion charges stemming from last year's secession vote which was declared illegal by the government in madrid david frum bosler. the mood in barcelona has definitely changed there were many people on the streets during the course of the day calling for general strikes calling for action and the speaker of the separatist catalan parliament also said that they should form a new front according on trade unions and civic society to come together to prevent any more attacks on what they call the heart of spanish democracy now that could take the form of general strikes they've been blocking many motorways leading

into this area but i think in the end and the mentum will build as we see more and more pictures of karla's push for more in germany whether he's remodeled in custody or given bail that'll be a crucial factor too in and how much anger will be shown here on the streets of basra lona but it is expected a general strike could be called this is really invigorated the protest movement here and i think will sit by the sheer number of people coming out on the streets of bosler and well as we've been hearing mr putin want has been detained in germany has more now from berlin. since playing spain nearly five months ago the former catalan president has been able to move relatively freely thanks to europe's lack of internal borders but shortly after crossing this border from denmark into germany on sunday. was identified by motorway police and detained.

after initial inquiries at the motorway police station huge to mom was driven away in a dark colored van the van which later photographed arriving at this detention center in the nearby town of new munster they bring him for a judge and the judge will. judge if he be. in jail or he is free on the conditions. and forty eight or worse news of pooja monza rest brought large numbers of protesters out onto the streets of the catalan capital barcelona riot police blocked some roads in the atmosphere with. that that has some of those millions of but we have two million people who will not back down we feel outraged and we will look to the spanish because they arrest. it will have the opposite effect each time we feel less spanish less included and less loved in this state that only punishes us. demands many critics have branded him

a coward and discount who gambled and lost with an illegal and unconstitutional referendum aimed at trying to force the issue of catalan independence. but his supporters insist he's a democrat and a political hero suffering for the cause of freedom. it's an image he himself has cultivated during the past five months of freedom most recently during a trip to finland on friday i will continue my struggle in order to defend my rights as a citizen as a member of catalan perelman as a president and the fending collective rights of people the people of scotland but on the same day back in madrid the spanish supreme court was issuing a european arrest warrant the charge rebellion connected to his leading role in october's catalan independence referendum in madrid the news of the man's arrest

has been largely welcomed but there are lingering concerns about the wider political damage this continues to inflict and. i don't agree with the resting politicians for ideological issues i think they should be more concerned with improving their dial. and communication rather than imposing the law. throughout his self-imposed exile from spain proved the man maintained he would cooperate fully with the relevant authorities that promise will now be put to the test here in germany when he decides whether to oppose or cooperate with his extradition to spain. al jazeera burning plenty more still to come for you here on the news hour including a missed opportunity in your reports that the u.s. and the united arab emirates intelligence agencies missed the chance to capture a taliban leader in dubai plus. a solemn somber palm sunday mass in southern france as families pay tribute to

controlled enclave of eastern ghouta to the rebel controlled province of idlib in the northwest of the country this is part of course of the evacuation deals or what amounts really to a surrender the rebels didn't have much of a choice they were besieged by government forces and there was a relentless bombing campaign that was targeting civilians who were trapped inside so it's not only the fighters who are leaving it is people who are involved in opposition activities media activists people that we've been speaking to telling us that we're only able to pack a few belongings and we're going to the unknown we're leaving behind our homes our lives the will we be able to to rebuild our lives once again will we be able to return to our homes so these people are really afraid of what comes next because they're going to live which is also not a safe area it is an area which is a target really of the pro-government alliance but the pro-government alliance declaring victory as saying that they're clearing the area from what they call terrorists eastern huta has long been a thorn in the side of the government the last major rebel stronghold close to the

capital close to the government seat of power there have been numerous attempts over the years to recapture eastern huta but the government lacked the manpower they were busy on many front lines but this time around it was an all out to military campaign and the only choice the opposition had was to surrender. ok let's take a closer look at rebel controlled with these fighters from east and heading the provinces largely controlled by the rebel alliance high at sharm or h.t.s. for short it sits next to latakia which is a government stronghold run two point five million people live there a million of them displaced by fighting in other areas of the country now in theory this is a deescalation zone but that hasn't stopped government forces backed by the russians from repeatedly bombing cities and towns there italy has also been hit by several suspected chemical attacks the most well known being the concha coon attack of twenty seventeen that killed eighty three people. the turkish president. has

a well developed conflict economy that conflict economy involves linkages through to is done through to iran and through to all the gulf countries because this is not just a this is not a tale about you know it's there it's shadowy meetings with you know intelligence agencies and covert state support this is a this is a story about a regionalized criminal economy which fuels the war in afghanistan which after a moment's months or as a leader of the taliban was tapping into to fund his organization and which i would contend is a way in which the ongoing conflict in afghanistan it helps to criminalize the countries of the region and is a threat to the region not just a threat to the people of afghanistan in the u.k. the leader of britain's opposition party the labor party has apologized in a statement for pockets of anti semitism within his labor party journey corben was criticized last week for

egyptian president. although opted for the has he was only named president in june two thousand and fourteen the former army general has been in control of egypt since july the previous year when he led a coup deposing the country's first democratically elected presidents mohamed morsi since taking power sisi has made numerous promises and pledges to the egyptian people in a bid to win their support first he vowed to defeat what he described as potential violence and terrorism in the middle fleet i call on all egyptians to take to the streets to task me with preventing the potential violence and terrorism that threatens us. in reality however since sisi became president attacks and bombings appear to have increased dramatically across the country i saw which did not have a branch in egypt recruited fighters and began killing soldiers and police officers in sinai but the violence was not limited to the peninsula car bombs in central

cairo and alexandria are testament to cc's inability to deliver on his promise of security another pledge made by the army general was to build a national road network that would connect cities and help improve road safety i mean i will build a world class road network within one year that will connect all of egypt. four years have now passed not only does egypt have an extremely poor road network according to the world health organization it ranks amongst the ten worst countries for road safety with deaths being an almost daily occurrence. c.c. had also promised to drastically improve the economy and increase living standards there was initial hope when his government organized the two thousand and fifteen international economic conference billions of dollars worth of projects were announced until now though very little of those have been achieved even the much hill construction of a new administrative capital has seen little to no developments similar to the

pledge of building one million new homes with hundreds of thousands of egyptians still either homeless or living in slums one promise that was fulfilled by c.c. was the expansion of the suez canal however the promised revenue from this project has not materialized in fact after convincing the public to help fund the project through investment bonds the government's own figures show revenue from the suez canal has actually dropped as a result of the decline in maritime chaffetz says he has been president for four years and in power for five in the early days he had promised to transform egypt into a world power the reality is that he presides over a country where thirty percent live below the poverty line and the vast majority are struggling to remain just above it his critics doubts that's another four years will bring any significant improvement. well the egyptian government has more and more crackdown on the media in the lead up to the election

access to hundreds of websites and blogs blocked the country's top prosecutors want to stop to closely monitor the media and take legal action if necessary but as. reports that hasn't stopped the online conversation. it appears more egyptians have been busy discussing football and the arabic version of the t.v. program the voice then the presidential elections on monday but security certainly became a trending topic over the weekend after an attack on egypt's second city alexandria on saturday now at least two people were killed including a policeman in what the ministry of interior has called an assassination attempt of a local security official prime minister sharif ismail says such attacks will not affect the election process but security is high across egypt's major cities and more than thirteen thousand polling places and it remains a central issue in this campaign many twitter users outside of egypt are talking about the same thing with me sharing some critical pieces from the economist in the

new york times which focus on the security dimensions of the election in the new york times asking why president sisi appears to be worried if the election is supposed to be a lock now the president has adopted a more threatening tone in the final month of campaigning focusing on unspecified enemies while the economist says that sisi must provide security and jobs for young people if not there's a recipe for more of people down the road and while they like many of c.c. supporters say that his firm hand has prevented egypt from collapsing in recent years they say he should respect the constitution and ignore his most sycophantic supporters who want to amend the constitution to let him rule for life and then you can you tell me where did give me a loser you must do it and while a number of famous actors and singers have helped spread cc's message to nearly sixty million eligible voters to come down and participate many egyptians are wondering if their vote will even matter the hash tag why are you boycotting the elections was trending on the eve of the vote after seven political parties and one

hundred fifty opposition figures denounced the process as a farce calling for a boycott's one of the most popular posts from the former sisi supporters. compares this choice whether to boycott or not to a. football match he says if the results are known in advance and the referee is bribed the fans would certainly boycott the match so we'll have to see if these security issues and the perceived lack of choice will have an impact on voter turnout remember that the last time sisi ran nearly half of eligible voters did turn out giving him nearly ninety seven percent of the vote. the u.n. is calling for an end to the brutal war on children in yemen as the number of severely malnourished children there has doubled over the course of the three year conflict the u.n. says an additional paff a million boys and girls can no longer go to school both saudi arabia and iran who back different sides in the conflict have been accused of blocking or delaying humanitarian shipments. in two thousand and fifteen as

a result of yemen scrummy can the development we had in yemen with two hundred thousand children suffering from the life threatening severe acute malnutrition we had with those two hundred thousand in two thousand and fifteen already one of the biggest case loads of severe acute malnutrition in the entire world. today because of three years of brutal war that caseload has doubled the threat of famine we have had in yemen for some times is still very much there. human rights groups meanwhile calling for a full investigation into war crimes in yemen they want perpetrators to be identified and held to account for science violations by who's the rebels and the
