this is zero. and i had a moment you're watching the news hour live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes. baggins former c.e.o. is charged by the u.s. with fraud of a diesel emissions scandals. but those first awareness i had was during the interview last night. conflicting stories over who knew want and when of a president trumps payment to a former porn star leading to more friction between the white house and the media. and twitter warns all users to change their passwords admitting a technical glitch kurds have compromised security. more than one hundred people die in india as rain and dust storms bring devastation to parts of the north.

u.s. president donald trump appearing in the white house rose garden ironically on the national day of prayer trump spoke about the importance of faith but nothing about a lie he told reporters a month ago aboard air force one you're very. stormy daniels is an adult film star who alleges she had an affair with trump a two thousand and six trump's lawyer michael cohen paid her one hundred thirty thousand dollars during the presidential election campaign to keep quiet and for the first time a member of the president's legal team rudy giuliani admitted the president knew about that payment for move through over the president repeated that could put the president in legal jeopardy because the campaign never disclosed the payment added exceeds the twenty five thousand dollars legal limit for contributions that money was not campaign money sorry i'm giving you

a fact now that you don't know it's not campaign money but melanie sloan a former federal prosecutor says that legal argument is flawed if they made the payment to stormy daniels with the intent that it influenced the campaign it can be an in kind contribution which also can be a felony given the amount on thursday trump defended the move on twitter saying payments like the one to daniels are very common among celebrities and people of wealth the latest scandal follows a shakeup in donald trump's legal team two lawyers have left in the past two months just as there are more questions about another controversy whether or not trump's presidential campaign colluded with russia kimberly helped at al-jazeera at the white house. the president his lawyers and the white house press secretary have made contradictory statements about the payment to stormy daniels a short time ago sir huckabee sound as was questioned by reporters about who knew

what and when. you said on march seventh there was no knowledge of any changes from the president and he's denied all these allegations were you watching to us at the time or were you in the dark and the president has denied and continues to the not the underlying claim and again i've given the best information i had at the time and i would refer you back to the comments that you yourself just mentioned a few minutes ago about the timeline for marriage you asking me just with this or that state very dramatic statement wasn't in reference to the reimbursement to you again i gave you the best information that i had and that new york then allegation at the time of the allegations the president has not been continuously john kerry's remarks were not whether you were in the dark i think it's a fairly simple question whether you think it's a fairly safe answer that i can tell you actually several times now they have me the best information that i had them and i continue to do my best to do that every single day player five when did you specifically know that the president read he'd

mr call and for the one hundred thirty thousand dollars you personally the first awareness i had was during the interview last major. earlier that when you were given answers around this general topic gives the best information you have the time now it appears that your position is you're not going to comment because it's all going to be if you've been advised not to wade into this to protect yourself from any potential legal exposure by giving you the false information or information the proof later or not be able to read was good in court you know but i would always against giving false information as a person who was a human voice and c.i. which was jonathan's question earlier when you say before that you give the best information out of the time i'm sure you do this and that but it turns out not to be correct or accurate or you then try to limit the liability that you may encounter by not dealing with any of those questions now and pushing it all off

because you say it's ongoing with again i'm give. in the best information i have some information i'm aware of and some when i can answer i will but beyond that i really don't have anything. but joining us now from chicago is james warren his the executive at all of the new york based on top news god decides that race quite a bit see all of the news and previously he was the chicago tribune's washington bureau chief thank you very much indeed seth being with al jazeera so what do you make of what we just heard with sara sanders hakka be talking about trump in the stormy daniels case is there some sort of disconnect between what she knew and what the administration has expected her to relay to the press today well quite obviously when my friend major garrett who was involved in that last back and forth the white house correspondent of c.b.s. news is a century asking the press secretary have you been lying to us or have you simply not known have you been in the dark and then the prosecco terrorist spawns

sensually that she's been in the dark and the us she's been lied to on a bunch of occasions that simply will you know aggravate the obvious inherent disconnect mutual suspicion that there is a political question of course is whether out here in chicago and outside washington and new york whether most people will be impacted if at all by this or whether they've just baked into the equation of their coming to terms with donald trump the fact that he in the media don't like one another we want to explore that considering that today is world press freedom day and we believe that according to the trouble press freedom index the united states has actually dropped by two points saying about forty five forty fifth place. so in bigger picture we know that the president has been very much against the press like you mentioned talking about the issue of fake news where do you see things going in terms of what

it's like to be a journalist in the united states at this moment in time. well so it's not it's not terribly easy being a white house journalist i think if you're a journalist elsewhere in the country you go about your job there is no doubt a growing suspicion of what we do there is a growing doubt among many americans about our role in a democracy it's mostly among conservatives and republicans where even the basic question the answer to the basic question of do believe in the so-called watchdog role of the press has undergone a dramatic shift in cement among conservatives who about two years ago seventy five percent said sure now it's it's in the forty's and the backdrop now is an astonishing serial fabricator who is the president states by the washington post's own accounting they have a team of fact checkers were now up to about three thousand misstatements or

outright lies an average of six point five a day during the trump presidency now what impact does that have on his base probably not much but it is a really is remarkable situation where you have most of a press conference predicated on the notion that at minimum the president states has not been telling the truth to his own press or to secretary leaving her with the possible genuine response and perhaps on his response that i come out here and tell you what i know to the best of my knowledge and certainly in the stormy daniels case. that fell short. and then there's also another article that i saw in the independent where the trumpet ministration has removed language about freedom of the press in this specifically within the justice department and his instructed his attorneys to remove certain sections of it one is

the public's right to know information the need for press and for public trial and also for the employees to disclose any contacts that they have with the media so where do you see things going in terms of protection for journalists in the united states. well that is a memorialization clearly within the trumpet administration of presidents trumps all and deep suspicions of the press it would seem on the face of it to be rather outrageous and may not have necessarily a whole lot of practical day to day impact when it comes to most federal prosecutors in places like chicago and they're dealing with the press but it underscores the challenges that the press have in ultimately. by and large the savior tends to be the american judicial system where clear rights have consistently been upheld by the american court system and the united states supreme

court i was just looking at some figures today of the first financial quarter of the new york times which was quite quite good there up to two point seven million subscribers their name is on one of the great supreme court to press decisions. in new york times and sullivan and i by and large that's something that most of the judicial system in this country accepts but there is no doubt that a combination of a very overt attack by the president states and the increasing deep suspicions of many americans about the basics of what we do. is incredibly troublesome for those of us who try to practice serious good turn alyssum in this country right james warren thank you so much for your time. now to our top story about the former chief executive all of german conic of all stock and he's facing charges in the united states over the diesel emissions

scandal one hundred joins us live now from chicago so john give us more to tell on what exactly these charges are and what it means now for martin went to court. really martin venter gorn is now the highest ranking v.w. official accused of a crime in the emissions cheating scandal he is accused first of all of conspiring with other v.w. officials to cheat the u.s. emissions standards and then he's accused of three counts of wire fraud that is using e-mail in order to achieve that goal he faces potentially years in prison for that but here's the catch germany does not extradite for crimes outside of the european union so he can in void prosecution entirely simply by remaining at home in germany and that in fact is what five other lower level v.w. officials have done when they were previously indicted for related charges so he can stay in germany maybe avoid all this but for v.w.

this means that this three year old scandal cannot be put behind them they have pled guilty to a crime in two thousand and seventeen in the usa admitted that six hundred thousand cars here in the u.s. were equipped with these emissions cheating devices and they paid a fine of four point three billion dollars nevertheless on thursday the new c.e.o. herbert beast addressed shareholders in berlin and he once again had to address this scandal that's something the company wants to put behind them now that they've returned economically to pre-crisis levels. just take us back how did this initial scheme and how did it go. really it was really ingenious what the company did was their engineers program the cars with software so they could tell whether they were driving on a railroad or a dynamometer that's running in place a device that people use to test it now if it was on the road the emission systems were turned off and that meant that it emitted the cars would have met these diesel

cars that is would emit up to thirty five times the legal level here in the u.s. but if they were on a dynamometer being tested all of those systems would kick into action and they wouldn't release is my. pollutants and the u.s. attorney general says the indictments today vinter corn and six other officials prove that this happened behind us levels of the w. when you said this will be prosecuted to the highest extent of the law in the united states of course winterkorn gets the final vote on that he can avoid prosecution entirely in the prospect of living the rest of his life at seventy years of age behind bars in the u.s. simply by remaining in germany ok john hundred one for us in chicago john thank you so much. now twitter is urging more than its three hundred million users to change their pos was after a computer glitch the social network discovered a bug that stored some pos words on its internal system in an unprotected form they

were kept in readable text rather than disguised with a random set of numbers and letters that the company says the problem has been fixed and no taito was stolen or misused joining us now from skype from palo alto is in california is laurie mckeith he's the c.e.o. of connect safety the orc and spent safety privacy and security organization laurie thank you very much indeed for being with us so twitter has three hundred thirty million uses in the big question really is how could they have made such a big but basic security mistake. it is a pretty big mistake and the good news of course is that they claim at least it the date it was not breached which means it with if it was seen by anybody it was by twitter employees that's bad enough because the good best practices say that no one not even the c.e.o. of the company should be think anybody's password but you know it was a software glitch i can't tell you how the glitch happened but obviously it's

something that they are embarrassed by but to their credit they did put out an alert they let people know they say they could have ignored it but they decided to share it and urging people to change their password and by the way i just changed mine and i recommend everybody change their i've done mine too but is there really that positive for mason may have left to a system a toll well i mean i would be safe and possible that an employee could have grabbed it and found it to family that's the type of risk that you want to avoid if i'm sure that most twitter employees are very reputable but you know they've got a lot of employees and there could have been a sort of a rotten apple there i doubt it but i wouldn't rule it out so in an abundance of caution of a suggest everybody should change their password and by the way make it a unique password and a strong password. now sort of looking for what are the other methods in which we use this can protect that data mason also the possible it's going forward you know that's a very good question too for better multi-factor authentication a very handy because what that means if somebody tries to log into your account

from a device other than the one that you used regularly they're going to get a notice saying that they have to go to look to their mobile phone and get a number that to type in so it's another factor it's kind of like an a.t.m. card where you've got your password plus your card two factor authentication of much better protection i recommend everybody use it for twitter facebook google and many of your accounts to support it all right now thank you so much for analysis thank you. hence her head on the news hour including. getting alex where rebels are heading off to the latest surrender deal in syria. gold companies settled south africa's biggest ever cost action lawsuit involving minors who contracted fatal lung diseases. on poll recently only sulky world championship and done mall stalls all black on international and south korea get their debut away from the

that will trump on the meeting i to states had to call hain has more from washington d.c. . it was a constant of his campaign our biggest obstacle is the press this so dishonest of their own. it seemed like donald trump could even get through one speech without attacking the press the dishonest media one of the words like. it was always a popular line the media covering the candidate became the subject of huge cheers and boos from the crowd. and it continued as he moved into the white house going so far as to call the media an enemy of the american people tweeting videos and pictures showing him physically harming a cable network as the tweets of attacks continue on a weekly basis they are having an impact in one poll fifty one percent of people asked said the media is the enemy of the people rather than an important part of democracy and another poll shows

a full three quarters of all republicans believe the news media make up stories about the president and his administration one of one of his few republican critics say that is harming journalists in the us and everywhere else as other leaders use the label fake news to jail journalists this feedback loop is disgraceful mr president not only has a past year seeing an american president borrow despotic language to refer to the free press but it seems he is now in turn inspired dictators and authoritarians with his own language that is reprehensible still it seems highly unlikely that the president will stop his attacks on the press it's not fake news i wonder whether it will take until we have another president who says that was wrong. and of course the press is not fake news i mean the problem is that the more you repeat something like a montra the more that some people think it's true but there is good news about the news the american media is experiencing

a kind of renaissance in part because of the president major newspapers have seen a huge spike in the number of subscriptions and they along with some in television news have been breaking stories about this administration on a weekly basis damaging stories that have led to a record number of scuttle cabinet nominations and firings in the end the president can call it fake news but it is still producing very real results. al-jazeera washington. mexican journalist has won the inaugural breach of valdez prize in genizah and human rights then and of area is known for her coverage of tough wars between rival drug cartels the peach valdez aboard is named in honor of two mexican genest who have met at last mexico as one of the most dangerous countries in the world to be a journalist and a home and has more from mexico city. have you about days amid a slava breach with two of the most recognized journalists in mexico and reporters
