started with an opening ceremony in moscow solutions he stadium with robbie williams headlining in front of president bush in western aid has stayed away from ceremony. sports correspondent lee weightings is in moscow after all the controversy only the tournament does seem to have got off to a good start. yes on the i am golf the page we saw in a pretty tough it's a big strain the diplomats say cannot swallow to much about what was unfolding in front of him and the fact that there is now huge optimism here that this is going to be a successful told them and i claim to want to win without hooliganism and we're not just total of a place are winds around but i think that's just simply because so many people are out celebrating in fact the horns of been blaring people were hoping that there would be a victory and there would be much particularly gets way compartments with russia is the lowest of all the five to ten teams so to be able to to win five nil what happens with a high with a tournament is that if the hosts start supply well it builds up not this fear

around the underground the tournament people watching on the television screens around the world concentrating knowledge of what happens on the pitch or whether there are nations doing well but actually it's really important that the host nation buys into it i mean it's good for the people of russia they really want to project a positive image around the world and so how different does this feel to you in terms of a tournament and a setup there and what it feels like. well if you think about the tournament that off experience was baby section well organized i think this ties into a big picture of russia wanting to host a tournament that is a huge success why wouldn't i want that to happen but off the side much controversy and criticism the why that the tournament was awarded by fee for the first place in two thousand and ten in russia really wants to send out a message it can produce a sports event the top sports event in many people's eyes the football world cup but even then in the olympics the a's as good as we've seen before or even better

now this didn't happen of course with the winter olympics which was poisoned by the diapering which. really affected russia's let me tell you should still does it in such a huge wide to have a football world cup that people have enjoyed all of the action enjoyed the sixty four guides perhaps with the host nation actually doing well on the pitch without sort of a dream scenario for vladimir putin. thank you very much indeed. off the pitch prominent british gay rights activist peter tatchell has been arrested then released after taking part in what russian police described as an illegal protest in moscow russian opposition leader and extent of army has also just been freed after thirty days behind bars the holding an unsanctioned protest as he left he said the prison where he was detained appears to have had a facelift to make it more comfortable for football fans arrested during the tournament.

new york attorney general is suing president donald trump three of his children and their charitable foundation for allegedly violating state charity law the two point eight million dollars lawsuit alleges the trunk foundation engaged in extensive and unlawful coordination with trump's twenty sixteen presidential campaign as well as self dealing for trump's personal benefit trampling on twitter to dismiss the case as politically motivated. let's talk more on this said it on there joins us from new york's agave how serious is this for donald trump and his family. well it's very serious make no doubt about it i mean it is a very confusing case but what it essentially boils down to is that the new york attorney general is accusing the donald trump foundation of misusing money now why is this important although donald trump foundation was founded in one thousand nine

hundred seven by donald trump and all of his three oldest sons and daughter are on the board of directors of that charitable foundation such as this and united states are regulated by the u.s. government and none of the money they can go to charitable foundations can then be used for personal means that would be illegal but that's essential what the new york attorney general is saying that the donald trump foundation did they say that he they used to some money to among other things pay off some of trump's personal legal bills as well as decorate one of his golf clubs and also pay for some of his campaign and his election running for president they point specifically to february two thousand and sixteen it was a vent hosted by to donald trump's campaign to raise money for war veterans raised about six million dollars but according to the complaint by the attorney general of new york only about three thousand three million of that six

million went to the charitable donation the other three million went to the trump campaign and one way shape or form that's highly illegal and that's what this is all coming down today saying that it was persistent and illegal conduct and that the attorney general of new york is asking that the trump foundation be dissolved immediately and that trump be repaying about two point eight million dollars and be barred from starting any other charitable foundation for at least ten years the last point is that this important note this is a civil lawsuit not criminal meaning that the worst that trump and his family could suffer would be monetary penalties there's no criminal activity in the sense of this would never lead to any sort of jail time or anything like that but still very very serious make no doubt about it and what does trump have to say about all this . fyi we expect to hear the white house briefing here shortly from the spokes people at the white house for sure be asked about this but

president donald trump himself tweeted out a couple messages this morning about it and he said that in his eyes it's quote a ridiculous case and he said i will not settle this case meaning that he has to take this to court and fight it he denies any sort of wrongdoing at all with his foundation and he points to the former new york attorney general eric schneiderman who's no longer the attorney general here but he is the person that started this investigation two years ago he says the former attorney general schneiderman is a democrat which he is and was a clinton supporter so insinuates in his tweets that this is politically motivated and nothing beyond that everything is on the thank you very much indeed. now an investigation by the u.s. department of justice has found that x. f.b.i. director james comey dramatically broke norms but wasn't biased in his handling of the hillary clinton e-mail probe the highly anticipated report examines the actions

taken by top f.b.i. and justice department officials before the twenty sixteen presidential election it found his decisions negatively impacted the perception of the f.b.i. as for administrators of justice white house correspondent can really help it has more. is a wide ranging report by the inspector general seventeen months in the making it walks through the key moments in that investigation and the handling by the former f.b.i. director james comey into the use of a private e-mail server by hillary clinton the democratic presidential nominee when she was the secretary of state in the obama administration the report expected to be highly politicized even though this is a nonpartisan review it's likely to be just the opposite given the contentious nature of the election and the divided american electorate it does conclude that james komi as f.b.i. director deviated from protocols harm the reputation of institution but that he was

not politically biased or motivated in any way while conducting that investigation this is a point that is likely to be disputed by many of donald trump's supporters and even the president himself given he has repeatedly had led the investigation in the handling by james komi was rigged in clinton's favor despite the fact that donald trump won the white house with saudi led coalition fighting to oust the rebels in yemen has captured a town south of the strategic port of her data after intense fighting. what. is the second day of the coalition's campaign to take her data saudi arabia and the u.a.e. accuse the shia who see rebels of using the port to smuggle weapons from iran they've launched air strikes against rebel positions in the city. well the data lies on women's red sea coast and is the entry point for seventy percent of the country's food supply international aid groups appeal to saudi that coalition not to attack a city very well exacerbate yemen's humanitarian crisis the u.a.e.

insists a will be delivered the same as the city is captured we have the same apply . they did when we liberated adam and then as more population populated than the data. everything went very well and even our ships are just see waiting so we have a fright we have very we very well organized and we are ready to to send over every assistance force for headed the un security council is wrapped up an urgent session on the situation in her data the u.k.'s ambassador to the un so there can't be a military solution to the conflict. now the minute she operation is underway we look to all parties to action accordance with international humanitarian law protection

of civilians that but i also want to recall that the coalition is acting in yemen at the request of the legitimate yemeni government and this request was made after the hootches came into force in twenty fourteen so i think that's an important point but the other point i want to reiterate is that there can be no overall at mit she solution to the conflict we really do need to get back into a process for a political settlement. so to come on the program a hunger in court sentences for people smugglers to twenty five years in prison for letting seventy one men women and children suffocate inside a refrigerated truck. leave behind the new campaign in kenya to help keep girls in school after they become mothers.

realized that i may suffocate to death so they banged on the doors screamed and shouted trying to signal to the driver as i was running out of people inside realized they would suffocate and die inside. the gangs driver abandon the lorry beside the a four highway and when austrian police open the doors they found the corpses piled on top of each other investigations showed they'd been dead for two days the gang leader was an afghan national named sam salon who charged with aggravated murder the gang said they weren't aware that the refugees were dying the police telephone intercepts showed that when the driver had raised concerns law who had ordered him not to open the doors let them die instead that's an order he was recorded as saying. the deaths became a tipping point in the twenty fifteen refugee crisis it's believed to have led directly to angola medical's announcement the germany would welcome migrants eventually allowing in more than a million mainly syrian refugees the prosecutor accuse law who of endless greed and
