arrested in a corruption case. spreads in iraq over a lack of jobs and rising costs raising questions of stability after a failed election. and making the best out of waste in malaysia make delicious meals out of food thrown away. hackers have been indicted as part of the ongoing probe into potential collusion between the truck campaign and russia during the two thousand and sixteen presidential elections the announcement has led to call says the u.s. president should cancel his much anticipated meeting with vladimir putin next week . reports from washington d.c. . the deputy attorney general said the twelve alleged russian intelligence officers hacked into the clinton presidential campaign and disseminated stolen information the goal of the conspirators was to have an impact on the elections in addition the department of justice alleges state election boards were hacked and the details of

five hundred thousand voters stolen among those subsequently in touch with what the d.o.j. says was an online persona created by the russians to help spread the information was someone in touch with the trump campaign that person according to the indictment didn't seem very impressed with the information provided and there's no evidence of the person knew they were speaking to alleged russian spies there's not a geisha in this indictment that any american citizen committed a crime there's no allegation that the conspiracy changed the phone kept or affected any election result. that was seized upon by the trumpet ministration would release a statement that said today's charges include no allegations of knowing involvement by anyone on the campaign and new allegations that the alleged hacking affected the election result this is consistent with what we have been saying all along earlier in the day donald trump it said he would ask about the allegations and i don't think you'll have any gee i did it i did it you got me there will be

a perry mason here i don't think but you never know what happens right but i will absolutely firmly ask the question and the allegations are allegations possibly never to be proven the accused russians are highly unlikely to appear before a u.s. grand jury to defend themselves over some democrats say the summit should possibly be called off there should be no one on one meeting between this president and mr putin there needs to be other americans in the room secondly the president and his team are not willing to make the facts of this indictment a top priority of the meeting and how sinky and the summit should be cancelled but deputy attorney general suggested these indictments were to come as a surprise at all from as he took tea with the queen roadracing stein said you briefed the president earlier this week before his trip to europe she ever counts the al-jazeera washington press highness' a former u.s. associate deputy attorney general he says the indictments make it more difficult for him to discredit the investigation. the indictment really is and i mean against

president putin nothing of this sort could have transpired without putin's affirmative approval remember he was head of the k.g.b. before he became president and nothing really of importance happens in russia at all without mr putin's approval these hands on a so this basically is an unreal indictment against mr putin and it makes it very auden awkward for mr trump to be speaking with mr putin and asking mr putin well do you agree or not this degree with my justice department who's indicted you for trying to interfere with the campaign and hoping to help hillary clinton need i mean help him rather than hillary clinton even if he didn't succeed and so in an unwitting way in my judgment what this particular indictment does with the optics it makes it impossible for mr trump to fire mr moore because it will peer to everyone except the most dense that it appears that mr trump has something

to hide with mr putin donald trump says ties with the u.k. are at the highest level of special that's a quote decide after soaring up controversy in an interview with london's sun newspaper and that interview he suggested plans for brock's that were too soft and if they stand the u.k. should not expect a trade deal with the u.s. on friday trump dismissed his own words as fake news john hall has more from windsor a day that ended for donald trump in the company of queen elizabeth the second had begun a group cloud over official british dismay at the u.s. president's comments in a newspaper interview for two countries that supposedly enjoy a special relationship this was no way to treat a friend. donald trump told the rightwing sun newspaper that the reason may's plan for leaving the european union was a bad one and that a trade deal between the u.s. and the u.k. was off the table he also said to reason may's nemesis boris johnson would make

a great prime minister johnson resigned this week as foreign secretary overheard new breaks its strategy and with that the pin was pulled on a diplomatic hand grenade looked like a deliberate attack on may's already fragile leadership and then a massive about turn in face to face meetings to resume a we're told had a chance to explain her plans more fully to donald trump it must all have made sense once the brics that process is concluded and perhaps the u.k. has left the e.u. i don't know what they're going to do but whatever you do is ok with me that's your decision whatever you're going to do is ok with us just make sure we can trade together that's all that matters if the reason may was relieved she didn't show it will be no limit to the possibility of us doing trade deals around the rest of the world once we leave the european union on the basis of the agreement that was made

here at checkers in that i've put forward to the european union and off the trumps went to meet the queen. by the time they arrived here at windsor castle for tea with the queen it seemed a whole few rory had passed a visiting u.s. president had gone from issuing unprecedented insults to a british prime minister to having it all swept away in a little over twelve hours mr trump simply dismissed an official on the record british newspaper interview as fake news. not the tea with the queen wasn't itself a potential protocol mind field. but the band played on in the event appears to have passed without incident a big fan of the british monarch this perhaps the highlight of trump's visit so far for the queen who's met a dozen u.s. presidents the occasion perhaps less unforgettable join a whole al-jazeera windsor a giant planter picking the u.s. president as a baby flew over london as part of massive protests against his visit tens of

surprised his rivals but he was a wealthy businessman when he arrived on the political scene in one thousand nine hundred ninety by being. elected prime minister that first stint in office lasted just three years the president dismissed the government in the wake of a power struggle that included pakistan's military. but four years later a nine hundred ninety seven shadi was back bolstered by a sizable election when he appeared to have considerable influence but that didn't extend to all of pakistan's military commanders he was ousted in a coup in one thousand nine hundred ninety nine due in large part to his if it's to rein in the army then led by army chief. a saudi deal saved him and his family from jail after convictions for corruption hijacking and terrorism. and by two thousand and seven shetty for two and home from saudi arabia and turned his if it's to reviving his party the pm malin which was then languishing in opposition

. victory six years later caught many of his political rivals by surprise chief among them former cricketer imran khan. it was a triumphant return but sharif new to him in office was immediately marred by more controversy the opposition staged a blockade for the six months that choked the capital islamabad some accused him of getting too close to india in the leak of the panama papers in two thousand and sixteen but revelations that would force him from politics should have denied corruption allegations but the supreme court disqualified him in two thousand and seventeen and he resigned earlier this year. just last week he says supporters chanted his name a court in pakistan seemed to instead to ten years in prison for failing to explain how he and his family acquired four luxury apartments in sintra london should if

was in london as his wife received medical treatment his daughter and son in law were convicted of corruption disqualified some say disgraced from politics and a convicted criminal no washer beef is not known for shying away from a fight but this time he's fighting for his political survival. down the hall and on to syria. and as far as a journalist and documentary filmmaker from pakistan she joins us live from the city of cambridge in the u.s. state of massachusetts we appreciate your time very much first let's talk about the timing of the washer if we're turning. to to base these charges on the back the conviction what do you make of the timing and he didn't necessarily have to go back when he did do you think he's in any way trying to rally his troops . well absolutely he's making a point i mean he could have stayed back in london as you say but he had i think he's come a long way since he was

a protege of general zia the earlier reporter pointed out. general zia was image military dictator as you and your viewers must know and sharif was his strategy and his beginnings his political beginning were not part of what what i would say pakistan's democratic political polity but he has really come a long way since then and i think part of that was he was schooled by bin a-z. by the late benazir bhutto in the last elections before she died he was going to boycott those calls under the ventry military dictator general pervez musharraf and benazir bhutto prevailed upon him not to boycott the elections because her stand was if you boycott then what you have to have that engagement with the political process and so he understood that he said with it so the show you but i think all the great political death to benazir bhutto who was once his great political rival and i think is coming back to pakistan is in a way kind of to make

a stolen adornment for his boss mr misdeed towards her when he was in power and she was out of power there was that history is that let's talk about the attacks on these election rallies what does that say about the the level of security that or that the people that the police are rather able to provide for people that want to be part of the process so i don't think it's the ones about the police right now i mean if you look at the kind of violence that pakistan has been facing particularly since nine eleven for the last almost two decades now. you can see there was there's been a spike in violence and that violence has come down as the army the military has gone after the terrorists in pakistan but it has been a selective going after these these violent camps these militant camps now you. you have these security savage men practically mainstreaming these militants who have come up and they're fielding a record number of candidates for the coming elections until now pakistan has never

voted in these religious extremists and i said religious always in inverted commas because it's their religion does not religious but political to grab power to say to take power somehow and impose their lifestyle so they have our feeling elect candidates to be elections and they're being supported by the establishment so there's a race that's going after of the militants and there's impunity for those who are conducting for example these a kind of athlete had nobody ever caught for them nobody have a sentence of punish for them and then criminal action which of being treated like i'm the actions. one steel actions happen. how stable will the government or will the government not be after these elections what do you think so these elections i think a lot of people are calling them selection because it's very clear that there is a prime minister's elect in waiting right now who has been very ambitious to be prime minister for

a long time. i don't these elections are already not free and fair there is unprecedented censorship the television channels the newspapers are not being allowed to cover the law for the who is now being treated as the opposition although you he's not a position he's just a dog from government his government is just handed over power or is going to hand over power and as you know pakistan has never had an uninterrupted democratic political process the very first time that this process began was when the. party elected in two thousand eight hundred over but completed the stand your and handed over power to the next elected government in twenty thirty in the c.p.p. to the law sharif and that was the first time ever this this would have been a historic second time that this would have happened but it will happen but we don't know the kind of political engineering that is taking place behind the scenes makes it not very free and fair at all so i don't know it's really up for grabs but

i do want to say this that whatever the results of the elections the people of pakistan want democracy and they're going to keep fighting for democracy no matter how much engineering is done behind the scenes and that's a perfect way to end december interview minister are thank you very much thank you crocs government has held an emergency meeting after demonstrations that began in the southern oil rich city of basra spread to other areas including the capital baghdad there's anger over high unemployment and a lack of basic services the prime minister hire a lot of his at basra on friday hoping to calm the tensions mohamed el baradei has this report. it's nearly fifty degrees celsius in iraq's southern city of basra and people have been feeling the heat. the city's unstable electricity grid and dwindling infrastructure fuelled angry protests over the past week. they know more than a german general here. geez protests of the oppressed people of we are asking for

a farm to a supermarket then on to a plate but up to a third of all food eaten never reaches the table in a world where one in nine people go hungry reducing the amount which is wasted is seen as a moral imperative it's also about sustainability food that's thrown away ends up in landfills contributing to greenhouse gas emissions now there's a movement to get chefs around the world to be at the forefront of reducing food waste those of us in white coats we cook a lot of food we use a lot of energy we use a lot of water and we make a lot of waste and so we have a particular responsibility to the larger society to the planet to make sure that we're doing well in each of those categories what's called the food waste challenge is being launched by the world chefs association and two of the partners the feet the planet initiative encourages chefs worldwide to start measuring the amount of wasted from their kitchens and make a commitment to cut the mountain of discarded food that's in addition to

a new curriculum for student chefs to teach them sustainable practices from sourcing local produce to more efficient management of the energy used in kitchens retest a pop up not for profit restaurant in stockholm is taking the idea one step further it's serving up seven course meals using only produce from supermarkets which is usually thrown out this menu includes pasta made from stale bread that's been ground down and mixed with flour most restaurants are inherently very on wasteful the bottom line relies on being very careful with what you have and using every part of every product so chef saw a wonderful way to really engage people in reducing their third waste and if we can get lots of chefs thinking like this and talking about it that's the key thing lots of chefs think like it but none of the guests that's levanon if we can encourage the storytelling behind it i think that's when we can hit the public it's hope to get everyone the cooks in the kitchen and the customers to have

a. everything about waste and how it can be turned into tasty meals consumers also have a responsibility when it comes to food waste and it can be as simple as making sure you don't cut up too much of the end of a carrot when you're cooking to finishing everything on your plate ultimately making a success of the chefs throw away idea will depend on all of us florence louis al-jazeera kuala lumpur still ahead on al-jazeera all the sports will take a look at serena williams road back to the summit of women's tennis. a new series of rewind i can bring your people back to life i'm sorry and bring you updates on the best of al-jazeera documentaries the struggle continues both from but due to. these districts one continues with the silver threads we're going back to a poor south african neighborhood where music and tradition come together in an annual

time for sport with our. thanks very much south africa's kevin anderson overpowered american john isner in the longest ever single semi final at wimbledon the thirty. twenty six twenty four in the fifth set to reach his first ever final at the all england club the marathon match lasted six hours and thirty six minutes anderson is the first south african man to reach the wimbledon final in ninety seven years. while because that match went on for so long there wasn't enough time to conclude the other semifinal rafa nadal and novak jock which will have to finish their game on saturday jock which leads to sets to one just ten months after a complicated childbirth serina williams will try and reclaim her wimbledon title on saturday the thirty six year old american will be going for a record equalling twenty four grand slam title she'll face a tough challenge though from germany's actually kerber in the final earlier we

spoke to former professional tennis player turned commentator sophie. says williams performance at this tournament is one of the best in her career. i think that it's not only the fact that she went through you know having a child but it's also due way that she had to go through that experience i mean she was so ill and sick and for her when she mentioned that she had trouble going to a mailbox was was the least you know of saying of how bad it was to have her now in the final of wimbledon against carbo which is a repeat of the two thousand and sixteen final is absolutely incredible i think anybody you would have you know thought about it you know would have said yes she can come back but to that level today and she's playing incredible tennis in that final in two thousand and sixteen was all about the serve of serino williams and if she's able to do and repeat what she did she was never broken in that final she faced one breakpoint at three on the second set against gerber and on that break point guess what she did an ace and then after that backed it up with another

a deuce to the holder serve at who are three and eventually winning the match in two sets a full cargo it's going to be all about being able to reach on that server ourself raise a level even more i mean she's been tested much more than those who are now probably draw the tournament so far as far as syria is concerned she is the greatest of all time and you can count on today and tomorrow sorry being one of the best final for her and. i think her present shani and fran tino says the world cup in russia has been the best ever and he's promising a special final when france take on croatia on sunday. he was going to be here she. believes it will be crushing.

but it's also told a little. bit. like. it's cool if your leaders. coach. says the best two teams have made it three to sunday's final but he admits it will be the hardest game his side has ever played he. says i would take me to united to go to nic i think france have shown different styles of playing against belgium in iraq they went up and they could defend in a defensive block and they were very dangerous in counter attacks and in cost transitions and this is what we have to be very cautious about it's not going to be easy to defend against counter attacks and fast transitions particularly with back pay and griezmann who are really fast and dangerous. while much is expected french

forward line and juan greaseman billie's france's chances could hinge on something else. we are able to win it but it's going to depend on details we have to be ready for that but considering our game i think the defense is the most important thing because we know that up front we can score goals any time it can happen with killian about the with the move from the wing with the live from across or even with me with a little bit of inspiration but i have sometimes i do think however that the defense is our base belgium england are making their final preparations for the world cup match nobody ever wants to be involved in the play off for third and fourth the belgians got the better of england one no when they met in the group stage a winner on saturday will give them their best ever results at a world cup although the players admit it's a difficult game to play. as if we really disappointed which is normal

we wanted to reach the final we wanted to go all the way to the end and that's why we so disappointed about losing against france but i think we have a last goal lift which is to leave russia with our heads held high and that can be achieved if we base in england and get third place i'm sure they're on the pitch but we very focused and very committed an order to win this match cats are twenty twenty two organizers say they are preparing to host a thirty two team world cup but could expand the finals to include forty eight countries if a study concludes it's possible and he richardson has been talking to katter twenty twenty two is assistant secretary general. decided that it's a good idea to include forty eight teams in the world cup study from twenty twenty six so they believe that there is a merit in it come about have put the proposal forward for one reason or the other they must feel that it's beneficial for south american football confederation so i'm not frustrated as much as i feel that we need to basically be careful and look

at the feasibility of understand what the implications are before any decision is taken and we you know we were glad that he first taken the decision to wait until the fuse of both the studies done but right now you're preparing for thirty two teams and all our preparations says they won't have been for thirty two team world cup and they continue to be for thirty two team world cup talking to the locals here they said the police have had a kind of an unusually liberal approach to sort of looking after the world cup fans they perhaps sort of let people drink on the streets congregate on the streets in a white that normally wouldn't happen. a similar policy taking place and cats aren't for us but i think when a country is hosting a huge event it's an unusual circumstance and you can't compare it to the usual day to day life in any given country though as long as the laws are. not broken as long as people are abiding to acceptable norms i think we won't have any issues

i think a lot of people change that perceptions about russia jihad that perhaps preconceptions people have about cats are in the middle east will change when it comes to well well if there are people out there who have misconceptions i'm sure that when they visit qatar for the first time they'll change their their minds and. there's a lot of people that have visited the middle east so know what the middle east is about for us it's important is that it's very intimate that football is celebrated cultural cultures are celebrated our similarities and our differences are are celebrated and that people just have a really good time and people learn something. than the average man dappled is overall eat and they try to. on friday the belgian now leads by six seconds over john thomas despite both finishing stage seven with the same time stage was won by delimit crew begun the dutch rider coming out on top in a sprint finish. and that's all your sport for now more later it's all for me for this news hour keep it here more to come on the other side of the break peter davi
