st petersburg hotel room but there's also thought that president putin who is a master manipulator and a trained k.g.b. operative understands the psychology of donald trump donald trump craves approval and to be worshiped and that's what lattimer. even gauges in psychological head games with world leaders who saw it on the merkel when he met with her a few years she's notoriously terrified of dogs and as a power play he brought his dog into the meeting at the same time you see vladimir putin realizing that donald trump craves attention flattery and will do anything he'll sell out it is own country and that's exactly what he's doing so there may not be anything that is held by a lot of people in donald trump but it definitely lattimer playing psychological games to manipulate donald trump and debasement problem i've been a secret very interesting to talk to you thank you so much for joining us here on the news grid that seven secret of republican strategist joining us there from new

york and we'll have more on our other top stories on the news great in just a few minutes right now let's go to our london news center and lauren taylor for a look at the day's other news nor in pain effort of a day when you are in. the u.k. based investigative agency spin watch has obtained documents revealing expensive lobbying effort by the u.a.e. and britain and the united states the report includes e-mails from an emirates he lobbying group attempting to influence the b.b.c.'s coverage of the arab spring judges secret meetings between a crown prince and then british prime minister david cameron with threats to pull out of billions of dollars worth of deals unless the u.k. designated the muslim brotherhood as a terrorist organization. the threat was if you do an inquiry into the muslim brotherhood which had no basis in security then we will. deal three billion with a space or we will stop b.p.

from having it all concession which they've had. more or less in the since the one nine hundred thirty s. is that real economic muscle behind some of these threats not enough to. the government didn't brotherhoods. in the end was a bit weird because in the end the muslim brotherhood isn't a terrorist organization big surprise. has more from central london. here is is that report that's been issued today it's entitled the u.a.e. lobby subverting british democracy and with a question mark at the end that really is the thrust of this report why the u.a.e. will basically spin watch says it was leaked documents relevant to the u.a.e. as activity it could indeed have been any one of several countries that tries to get favor with british journalist and with the with the british government but the operation that the u.a.e.

underwent and then the talk in those years particular between twenty ten and twenty sixteen was described by the report's authors as being slick a well oiled machine sophisticated and quite clever in many ways and it appears to been motivated by the fear in the united arab emirates of the rise of political islam now what did it entail according to the reported entails speaking to journalists and persuading them of the particular sense of an anti muslim brotherhood line it also extended to threatening the british government according to the reports to withdraw a multi-billion pound contract for a typhoon fighters a threat which the report's authors say was actually successful in persuading david cameron to launch an inquiry into the bonafide days of the muslim brotherhood in this country israel is tightening at sea on almost two million people living in gaza by restricting further the flow of goods into the territory it's fighting to

ban all fuel imports through the carousel and crossing which is the sole crossing into gaza residents there are hugely reliant on imports says the territory only get six hours of electricity a day food and medical supplies will also need permission to get through. as well as also restricting the permitted officials are in for gaza's fishermen from six to three nautical miles charles stratford has more from a port in gaza. the fishermen here in gaza have been feeling steadily increasing strangulation over their livelihoods for twelve years since the blockade started it's estimated that around fifty thousand gazan families someway involved in the fishing business here so you can imagine the kind of impact that it has economically or it's also worth stressing having spoken here to the heads of the fishermen's union he says that gaza needs around four thousand tonnes a year of fish just to sustain its local population he believes that with these new

restrictions they'll be lucky to get around eight hundred tons of fish a year i stay in gaza regularly close to this pull your off and woken up in the mornings by israeli gunboats far in warning shots at fisherman close to the shore trying to keep them within these restricted areas the fisherman's union says that since the blockade started least thirteen people thirteen fishermen have been killed two in this year and around two hundred injured so for me for a moment back to fall into lauren thank you very much for that an israel continues to close its border to syrians fleeing violence they came in peace waving a white flag hundreds of displaced syrians gathered on tuesday along the border fence that separates their country from the israeli occupied golan heights hoping to escape the fighting. over. the river.

israeli soldiers told them over loudspeakers to go back and they eventually did a campaign by syrian government forces backed by russia to take back southern areas that border jordan and israel from the rebels has forced over one hundred thousand people from their homes according to the united nations israel has warned of a harsh response if the syrian government's advance towards the golan heights continues let's go live to our just here is there any deca who joins us live from the israeli occupied golan heights quite extraordinary scenes we saw earliest f. me what more do we know about the people who approached the israeli border and where have they gone now. well we're just down the road from where that happened the army has made it we're not allowed it's a no go zone or from what we understand they've returned to their camp as a camp for internally displaced they are scattered along this area there's a few of them even behind where we are just behind me that fence that is the ceasefire line that is syria the wall that is the all q that's the golan heights

they've gone back there now what we know from speaking to people throughout this this war is that the situation is dire where we are we've been seeing and hearing the war go on just in the last hour or so we can see the smoke landing on a hill just a little further down from we are so it's a very active war around that there is that then there is of course if these people have come from villages that have been you know under rebel control for years they're terrified of what may happen to them now that the syrian government is taking over these areas and there are no aid agencies really operating in a lot of these camps a little further afield so very very difficult for them and as you mentioned israel's border remains closed and jordan further down also their border remains close a very difficult for these people a seventy tell us more about israel's involvement in syria's war directly and indirectly it's been a big concern the conflict in syria has been a big concern for israel's military and political leaders. well israel has always made it very clear that it's not particularly fussed about who sits in

damascus in fact the golan heights have been its most peaceful since assad has been in power what israel is concerned about is the iranian presence most importantly the transfer of weapons from iran through syria we can hear more explosions in the background fully through syria into lebanon fueling hezbollah this is the issue this is why israeli government never really confirm specific strikes in syria but it has said that it will absolutely take out if they know of a weapon shipment that is carrying on we've we know from from sources that there have been various strikes targeting also iranian forces in the country know recently the diplomacy that's been going on israel has said first of all it wanted iranian backed troops around ten kilometers away from this border now it's going to start to say that they want iranian backed forces and iranian forces out of syria all together so it is a complicated situation certainly they have been helping if just briefly back to the humanitarian situation the army has been helping some of the red the i.d.p.'s

on the other side but again it's border remains firmly closed it also has had some form of the a zone with the rebels people will tell you over the years something that of course israel would never confirm but now again it doesn't seem to have a massive issue with what's going on in terms of the ground its main concern being iranian presence thank you very much for that stephanie decker reporting there live from the occupied golan heights and let's give you a better idea of where all of this is happening government troops syrian government troops have regained control of a strategic province you can see that black dog there on the map the area was heavily bombed by russian and syrian air raids over the past two days after being in rebel control for the past four years now that green circle shows you where those displaced syrians approached a barrier of the israeli occupied golan heights and this violence is taking place just a few kilometers away from the line marking the start of the united nations disengagement observer force so on and. area monitored by u.n. force since nine hundred seventy four in the wake of the arab israeli war i want to

bring in some mean eight or nine who is a middle east affairs analyst he joins us from beirut in lebanon thank you very much for speaking to us israel has warned of a harsh response should syrian government forces be deployed in the area and stephanie said it perceives the presence of uranian and is full of troops about back assad a threat to its security interests in this region do you think that the golan highs could be a new flashpoint in syria's war. i don't think so because it seems that that is an understanding between and this and then not zero coordination between mosco and is that i let's not forget that in two thousand and eleven russia made an offer to is that i understand in that is g.m. to be in charge of the security of the go along nowadays that automotive more talks about it indeed between america and russia and in fact it's more

between three parted did between america and russia. get n.t. the security of is that i was to threats from syria and mind on coming from our assisting group or god i think but the major don't want. me to shut he dated to it on and they fear it and they are concerned about it any any good owing to presence in syria and what they don't want change of that rule of engagement has been the prevailing for the last three decades between syria and is that a right so i do believe i just i think up to now the major concern is sorry to interrupt you i just want to pick up on one of the points you made that an interesting one when you talked of the russia israel corporation in syria

and interesting the president trying but his news conference with the russian president vladimir putin in finland on monday said that both the u.s. and russia had agreed to work together in helping ensure israel's security what does that say to you about the u.s. russia role in syria and relations they have inside syria and also way does that leave the issue of what to do with bashar al assad. i do believe that israel has never had a problem with the bashar assad regime they don't want they never wanted or claimed that removal of bashar assad likewise or the arab states and the cdn taking part in that evolution what they want is that he that he move and that was that all were from iran from syria and i do believe that the three parties meaning russia america and is that i and has today a common interest which is it's not that he moved on from syria but the weakening

of iran in syria yes russia has used or has used a new and boots on the ground in order to free syria from the syrian that had been in to win the war and to strengthen the basis of bashar assad but now this is all good they have been united by a distribution of tosca russia going to ordering the air power to head a thing with the bong being from the air was iranian. how to think with the boots on the ground now this is over and russia wants to stay the number one apartment or a player in the ground if they if they don't want to leave collapse of iran but definitely they would pretty fed a weakened iran inside syria so they stay in control and this is

a common point was the other partners in the deed i mean inc. and is that i said especially that washington today is grieving. a confrontation with iran at the different level thank you so much for your analysis i mean a day joining us from beirut thank you for your time if you're watching is on facebook live coming up a story about tarantulas from a county that makes a pass and why some people may be eating. i'm to extinction and see the head on the news grade the head of the un accuses on groups leading to the nicaraguan government of unacceptable the full force will be lied in managua i do state. hello there we've still got some showers that are plaguing parts of georgia the

headlines on al-jazeera and the stories trending on al-jazeera dot com syrian government forces still. seizing a strategic ale overlooking the golan heights a story that was covered today on the news great also trending a country envoy shedding light on the u.s. plan for gaza and at number three an interesting opinion piece from american scholar cornell west who says the rock obama was never the revolutionary nelson mandela was the former u.s. president has been speaking in south africa on the anniversary of nelson mandela's one hundred years it's been one hundred years since he was born and they were ceremonies today in south africa to commemorate the event at which the former u.s. president barack obama spoke all those stories and much more on our website at al-jazeera dot com. there was

a news great on al-jazeera we've got people watching today from australia rwanda and canada thank you so much for your company would love to hear from you on all the stories we're covering connect with us using the hashtag a.j. news great and all the other ways to get in touch on your screen right now moving on i mean josh no criminal court the i.c.c. is marking a major milestone it was set up twenty years ago to bring justice to victims of atrocities such as war crimes genocide and crimes against humanity without government interference but they are questions about just how successful it's been jonah hole has our report from the hague. a billion dollars is a lot of money to pay for just four convictions out of ten investigations so say critics of the international criminal court but it has truly global reach and acts as a deterrent to perpetrators of some of the world's worst atrocities so say its defenders the truth is somewhere in between the court was set up basically with so many goals

at the same time not only rendering justice and meeting up punishments but also bringing truth bringing reconciliation bringing so many victims and i think it set out also to do many things at the same time well apparently you cannot do that they only had twenty africa has been a particular focus of the court's work with critics complaining of bias and even though cases have been referred to the i.c.c. by individual governments but africa has also highlighted some of the court's weaknesses no international police force means it relies on the cooperation of its one hundred twenty three member states over darfur for instance despite years of investigation and multiple indictments including of sudanese president omar al bashir not one arrest has yet been made if the past of this relative legal infant

then is one of teething trouble in finding its feet then what of its future in a world in which conflict is increasingly multi-lateral it which the superpowers aren't even members and in which vetoes at the u.n. security council are a barrier to justice in some of the world's most blighted places. the i.c.c. was founded as a permanent court from which no leader rebel group or army could hide now if permanence is not in question but there are significant gaps in global commitment to the court russia is blocking efforts to send syria to the international criminal court even though the assad government really with putin's backing. deliberately targeted civilians as a way of waging this war china seems to be standing in the way ascending myanmar tasia actual criminal court even though it ethnically cleansed seven hundred thousand of him to muslims in the course of a month you know the united states is continuing to try to protect israel to protect saudi arabia so there is

a very unprincipled approach to international justice all of that puts alleged war crimes in syria and gaza beyond its reach but the i.c.c. is tackling of the challenges you investigations in venezuela the philippines and afghanistan may build support and assuage suspicion across the african continent but the rise of nationalism and disdain for global institutions elsewhere or omen a signs for the strengthening of international justice jonah al-jazeera the hague well let's talk some more by the i.c.c. sanctions on africa in africa joining us is tom who is a child monitor at the international justice monitor he is live from nairobi in kenya thank you so much for speaking to us much of the dissatisfaction with the i.c.c. lies in the perception that the court has this reportedly targeted africans and does not respect the politics and sovereignty of african countries would you say the i.c.c.

is on thai african thank you for having me on your program for. i guess those that there's a group of africans those of first cause cases before the international criminal court would say that it is anti african but then there's another group of people who are much larger number of the victims of atrocities committed on the continent who say where can we see justice and all those other news is the international criminal court. why do you think the court has been criticized for taking up african cases a majority of which were instigated by the countries themselves what's at the heart do you think of the distrust from some some people as you say you know could it be perhaps that the immunity to the immunity against sitting presidents well how do you explain this dissatisfaction. that is not a fortune started when a city in african leader the seventies president was. issued an arrest warrant by

the court and then started the african union questioning whether the i.c.c. has the power to institute a case against a sitting head of state but the african union has never taken a position against any of the cases that are not involved so the heads of state also been dipped the heads of state and therefore it seems that the african leadership has been speaking with a forked tongue. when it concerns the rebel leaders and people got level they have no problem with the international criminal court there is no problem referring cases to the international. leaders then that's one of the resisting. i have a comment here from one of our viewers only now on facebook who says who asks in fact does the international criminal court really have the powers it is supposed to have and use is surely not using them a poker game a wonder as president has said that the i.c.c.

was never about justice but politics disguised as international justice and you know critics of the i.c.c. have always pointed out that both don and libya where referred to the court by the security council the u.n. security council where three of five veto wielding countries are not even members of the core so is a core really acting independently or is it under the influence of certain countries. the court is acting independently in an imperfect world which means there are cases that have been brought through to the court through the to the through the united nations security council and as you know the five permanent members will go of the two and therefore some cases will be referred to the i.c.c. through the channel other cases would be blocked through the channel and that is the imperfect world we live in now if african countries want to make the court more robust more independent they have a mechanism through the membership of the i.c.c.

and african countries from the largest group of nations in the i.c.c. where they can remove the article that gives the security power influence in that sense well so the power for this kid comes into focus is to the i.c.c. can be removed by the membership of the i.c.c. which african countries constitute the largest number. very interesting to talk to you thank you so much for joining us on the news great tom from the international justice monitor live there from nairobi and on the same topic i want to point to due to this very interesting debate on front with many have fun watching if you get a chance the former prosecutor general of the international criminal court luis moreno ocampo and professor mahmood mamdani from uganda's macquarie university was also one of the strongest critics of the core debate whether the i.c.c. has an african obsession it's a great discussion watch it online at al-jazeera dot com. let's take you to

nicaragua now where pro-government forces have launched an attack on a suburb in the city of messiah which is about fifteen kilometers south of nicaragua's capital managua this comes on to the united nations accuse nicaraguan authorities of serious wide violations including the possible in forces to pierre and says of two activists the un he human human rights office has sent a team of monitors to nicaragua to investigate the violence which has killed around two hundred seventy people since april and i want to show you now this week from an archbishop from the catholic church in one nimble in the city of my afa. in a tweet he says he calls for the violence that has exhilarated bishop of the archdiocese of managua and he tweeted the attack they attack more nimble the bullets are reaching the mary magdalen parish where the priest is shot that made daniel ortega stop the massacre i beg the people of moneyball save their lives

let's bring in mariana sanchez who is live in managua marianna what do you know about what's happening right now in my asa. oh apologies we seem to have lost our connection to a. correspondent there in nicaragua capital manado is going to bring us up to date with yvonne and say it's been three months of violence three months of protests against the government of daniel ortega protesters calling for the president to resign more than two hundred people nearly three hundred people in fact have been killed hopefully will get marianna back to bring us up to date with the situation in nicaragua now you may have heard of the sustainable development goals scheme it meant commitments rather that governments around the world have made to china and poverty and protect the planet well governments are meeting in new york to check on the progress and andrew is back to tell us about that compensation thank you fully well there's one in particular that caught our eye and it has to do with water

under the s.t.g. as every person in the world should be provided with clean water and access to toilets by twenty thirty but it looks like that goal will be missed unless countries start spending about twenty billion more dollars a year just to meet this goal if you look at the problem around the world there's about one in nine people who don't have access to clean water and every two minutes another child dies from diarrheal disease caused by dirty water and poor sanitation of the u.k. based charity water aid this is their video here they looked at the u.n. data and the spending of countries around the world and calculated that at the current rates it could take centuries to bring clean drinking water and provide soil it's for people living in some parts of the world so forget twenty thirty if they don't spend more money people in nicaragua won't be able to provide even basic water access for its entire population for another one hundred sixty two years people in the maybe i will probably be waiting until the year twenty two forty six at their current spending rates well eritreans are on track to have universal

access to clean water some time after the year twenty five hundred as far as toilets go it could be five more centuries before every romanian has access to a toilet and should be. unfortunately is the worse off with sanitation for all expected by the year thirty eight twenty eight so lots of factors go into this there's of course climate change that's making water resources scarce you have population growth and urbanisation also affecting some of the progress that's made but all in all when you consider all these these factors here poor sanitation cost the world more than two hundred billion dollars a year locking people in a cycle of poor health and poverty somebody sabio carvalho is the global campaign director for water aid and he has some thoughts on why some politicians aren't taking this seriously. water sanitation and hygiene mainly is an invisible issue it's an issue that also doesn't have a lot of political commitment and buy in and because it's such

a private issue it doesn't get the attention of political leaders. like bullet decisions when you want to sort of seen to be seen innovating a toilet compared to integrating or something besides a big dam so there is lack of political commitment and also good financing and in wissam and to really deal with the issue of water sanitation and hygiene what water it is bringing to light to see that this is an issue that does that has repetitions on it advocating poverty on held on education on addressing inequalities and so it is not an issue that has to be pushed under the carpet but we want political leaders to take stock of the situation because at this rate we will not be achieving the sustainable development goals of water and sanitation of everyone everywhere by twenty thirty well there is some good news here several countries especially lao afghanistan china have made extraordinary progress since the

millennium development goals were announced two billion people are now accessing water and decent toilets that's in just in the first fifteen years of this century so let us know if your country is doing enough to address this issue you can send us your thoughts using the has it in its grip on andrew thank you very much for that as promised we return to mariana sanchez in nicaragua as we've reestablished shot connection with her there has been a new government offensive we understand mariana in a city south east of the capital managua our way you are tell us about what's been happening. we'll fully we are in now we're about to the city of messiah which is about forty five minutes southeast of the now has been a lot there's no one that can go in or come out the city we understand where human rights organizations that it is right now under siege what we've been able to see and hear throughout this morning is video sent by people that are there through the

social media we've seen caravans of paramilitary today dressed in blue t. shirts they were dressed in green t. shirts yesterday they were going around heavily armed and then we see we've heard we've seen videos where you can hear in the background not only shotguns but machine guns very worrying a lot of people calling the television stations the radio station saying that this must stop that they are afraid people are docking at their homes with a lot of children there and they're very very worried and afraid human rights organizations are saying that this is. international humanitarian law and you were saying before the archbishop. has tweeted also that the bullets are reaching the parish where the priests all it's also they're taking fire we were yesterday

in my in messiah we were able to get there and we talked to some people there. people. were telling us they're real very afraid the situation in fact was very tense there there was some people in the streets a few cars businesses closed the whole shut down and a lot of fear there but what people were telling us is there is that the paramilitary are going around the side freely and we saw several of them at checkpoints on the highway with the police and evidence that they are acting in joint. the police here thank you for that mariana sanchez bringing us an update there from. marianna will keep us up to date with everything that's happening of course in nicaragua throughout the evening here on. and still ahead. hundreds of refugees.

thank. you. chris.

can't for speakers here no more well kept what are we going to do with our south well there's no football for you know you don't not see it now but the cup is over engine sitting back to club football italian joins you vent it's have splashed the cash on five times world player of the year christiane or another they paid real madrid one hundred nineteen million dollars for the thirty three year old the

bodies was unveiled to the fans in two arena on monday you venters are hoping he can be the spark they needed to win the champions league for the first time since one thousand nine hundred ninety six. months old course at prince i prefer to think of me in the present tense the present is very clear i enjoy football and i'm still rather young i have always liked challenges in my life so from sporting to manchester to reality and then you ventus and so it was a dream career challenges are part of my life and i think this new challenge will be as good as the others to check more about ronaldo and the impact he could have at you ventus i'm joined now by soccer the duma and kick a football journalist roselle america who specializes in italia and football she joins us from cape town brazil or why would you vent to spend so much money to bring in a thirty three year old. well first of all thank you for having me on to your question is christiane

a novel one of the best kind of in the will and has won the battle of five times the chance to make five and he's going to do litter and turkey cabinet of course people are talking about the age factor but he's certainly not over the hill so i've but for he's eight and ramen you know i have been arguing about you ranger spending three hundred fifty million euro which is what a total deal would cause in the space of before your conscious. they've they've all been to the kind of money back in about a year or two and another doesn't only offer the global skills that we see on the field but he has a mass of marketing in the twenty four hours after his announcement that he was going to join you then he sold five hundred fifty thousand. that is to put it into for the suspects if it is three hundred fifty thousand lives and what you've been interested in the total calendar year of twenty six the u.s. president this has also been felt by several board causes

a round of will buying rights to post cross city in the country and the way the rinaldo girls there's always an interest in themselves in the crappy tasteful and that's in the league that we pay for the money will pay off eventually and i think from marketing perspective one of the main reasons why they spend so much money on him right result is we're going to have to leave it there i'm afraid thank you very much for joining us very much appreciated. now some people are saying that you've interested in sign cristiana remember though but instead the portuguese striker signed uva it has had six million followers on twitter that's not too bad some might say have a look at her now though he has seventy three point five million followers that's twelve times as many twitter followers and how about instagram or no they said to charge more than four hundred thousand dollars for an instagram post that's what you can do when you have a one hundred and thirty five million followers on

a platform as for his new club well they've only got twelve point five million which is about twelve point four million than i have but it's eleven times less anyway don't you just hate it when your favorite player moves to another team it means you have to shell out more money on a shit apparently you vent to sold sixty million dollars worth of rinaldo shoots in just twenty four hours but one fan posted this ingenious hack to save you a lot of money take a look. not sure that would make a good birthday present anyway arjen time legend diego marathon is a giant of football and he's larger than life personality was on the show as he

we understand the differences. and the similarities of cultures across the world so no matter how you take it al-jazeera will bring you the news and current events that matter to al-jazeera. to song they aren't sick when he is worth millions of dollars to the nepalese they are living god. one east investigates the fight to reclaim nepal's stolen idols not his era.

al-jazeera. where ever you are. donald trump walks into a political storm in the u.s. democrats and republicans slam his summit with. as a disgrace. on our entire lives is al-jazeera live from london also coming up. a part of the record israeli soldiers tell displaced syrians to go back as they approach israel's border fence along the occupied golan heights. some very expensive spin a new report warns british democracy could be under threat from the u.a.e.

as well on the lobbying machine. and thousands turned out in johannesburg to mark hundred years since the birth of nelson mandela barack obama gives the keynote address. but. you know we begin with a growing outcry in the u.s. over donald trump's summit with battery putin in helsinki a former cia director is among a group of intelligence chiefs who branded trump's performance during a news conference with the russian president as quote nothing short of treasonous the u.s. president has returned home to a media frenzy even staunchly pro trump outlets a criticizing his performance from school live now to our white house correspondent kimberly how kids can be this is quite a storm even by the standards we expect from trump storms. indeed there is

certainly overwhelming criticism of this is the white house in damage control mode in fact we can tell you just in the last couple of hours the president president himself has been firing off a series of tweets trying to portray the meeting as something other than what most people took it to be and that it was a serious misstep and perhaps a notable and a tourist moment in the relationship with russia dating back decades in fact donald trump taking to twitter to say that the meeting was in fact a great meeting he said well i had a great meeting with nato raising vast amounts of money i had an even better meeting with vladimir putin of russia sadly it is not being reported that way the fake news is going crazy so donald trump throughout the morning has been saying it was a productive meeting it was a great meeting and blaming the media essentially for what most people saw as a mistake by donald trump and donald trump alone one where they thought he was not only unprepared but discounted the conclusions of his intelligence agencies and that is that there was interference by russia in the twenty sixteen u.s.

election members of congress have equally been disappointed with the president harsh criticism from then from them as well in fact we will be seeing some of those republican members of congress here at the white house in the coming hours the first face to face meeting between republican critics and the u.s. president a closed door meeting but we are watching carefully to see what comes out of that in the main time the white house has been set in talking points to members of congress appearing on national television shows trying to characterize the president's position reframe it if you will saying that he's always accepted the conclusions of the intelligence agencies and has said so for the last year and a half but also believes that this is an important opportunity one for dialogue between the united states and russia can be is is the difference here this time around that the scale of the republicans who've kind of spoken out against him and also perhaps even the media who would. the type of media that would normally be on

his side expressing doubts this time and as well. what's certainly notable lauren is the fact that fox news hosts and presenters have been very critical of the president feeling many that he sold out the united states and his departure and did not back the conclusions of the intelligence agencies it is worth mentioning that some of the harshest criticism from republican members of congress has come from those not looking for reelection like speaker paul ryan who spoke in the last couple of hours saying in fact that in contrast to the comments by the former cia director under barack obama he does not think that donald trump's actions were treasonous however he does believe that in fact there was russian interference and as a result there should be further restraint of russia to prevent it from happening again particularly in twenty eight team there should be further sanctions democrats are calling for hearings that is unlikely given the fact that republicans can control congress but at the same time many republican members deeply concerned gravely

concerned including paul ryan the top republican in the house of representatives that's why he also said in his press conference he believes the work of the special counsel robert muller should continue that he should be allowed to finish his work into his investigation whether or not there was collusion between the trunk campaign and russia and whether or not definitively could also state that there was in fact any interference in the twenty sixteen u.s. election something the intelligence agencies have already definitive definitively concluded can really help it thank you very much. hundreds of displaced syrians have walked towards the border fence that separates syria from the israeli occupied golan heights. the. israeli soldiers can be heard telling them to go back some have reportedly done that but all those continuing on many of them holding white flags this is near

where the syrian government is fighting to push out the last remaining pockets of rebels and i still fighters. decker's live for us now in the occupied golan heights so what's the situation now with the people who were originally approaching the fence. well what we understand is that they have gone to the tens makeshift camp where they're residing but i can we're just a little bit further down from there because the minute she's closed off that area from where the shots were taken earlier today what i can tell you from where we are a very act of war going on we can see the smoke in the distance just on the hill not that far away and also a lot of outgoing rocket fire this is the bigger picture the syrian army is making very quick headway on the ground as they try to take back these areas in the south through reconciliation deals with the rebels and of course the people around over a hundred thousands of fled the fighting and they're very concerned about these areas being taken back by the government why some of them are activists some of

them believe there may be retaliation by government forces because they think that many of these people were supporting the rebels also very difficult situation for the people because there's no real age. aid agencies that help them so this is why you would have seen those people going towards the fence of course israel the narrative in syria is that israel was always not a friendly ally let's put it that way so for them to be approaching the friends of the israeli army with white flags just gives you an indication perhaps of how desperate the situation for them is and you mentioned the lack of any aid provision there what is that is the plan i mean it could could there be a situation where they build camps a little on the edge of their what's the is there any kind of plan for close to them. there is some cabins you don't there's a couple of random ones where we are there's bigger ones further along the army for example the israeli army has been giving some supplies also jordan of course they

are closed but the borders remain closed there is not a real aid effort going on loren at the moment it is unpredictable and these people i can tell you here it's now quite breezy but it gets incredibly hot there's water issues there's sanitary issues i mean the usual that we've seen over the course of the seven year war now so the people are really left to fend for themselves with the advance of the syrian army which many of them are terrified of and as i say it's a very active frontline around here so that's the concern what will be the situation for the people let's wait and see how it plays out over the next couple of days because of the false devolves on the ground but certainly the fact that these people came up to that border fence i think is an indication of how desperate the situation is stephanie decker thank you very much indeed the u.k. based investigative agency has obtained documents revealing an expensive lobbying effort by the u.s. in britain and the u.s. to spin what report includes e-mails from an end to lobbying group to influence the

b.b.c.'s coverage of the arab spring before it says it has proof of secret meetings between abu dhabi's crown prince. and former british prime minister david cameron had apparently threatened to pull out of billions of dollars worth of deals if the u.k. failed to designate the muslim brotherhood as a terrorist organization and for mr on the law gaga she is accused of pushing journalists to create a pro anti muslim brotherhood and tehran and take out a media narrative and it's alleged the u.s. lobbying company quilla offered twenty six thousand dollars a month to king's college london to focus research linking qatar with terrorism paul brennan has more from westminster. here is is that report that's been issued today it's entitled the u.a.e. lobby subverting british democracy and with a question mark at the end that really is the thrust of this report why the u.a.e. will basically spin watch says it was leaked documents relevant to the u.a.e.

as activity it could indeed have been any one of several countries that tries to get favor with british journalist and with the with the british government but the operation that the u.a.e. underwent and on the talk in those years particular between twenty ten and twenty sixteen was described by the report's authors as being slick a well oiled machine sophisticated and quite clever in many ways and it appears to have been motivated by the fear in the united arab emirates of the rise of political islam now what did it entail according to the reported entails speaking to journalists and persuading them of the particular sense of an anti muslim brotherhood line it also extended to threatening the british government according to the reports to withdraw a multi-billion pound contract for a typhoon fighters a threat which the report's authors say was actually successful in persuading david

cameron to launch an inquiry into the bona fide ace of the muslim brotherhood in this country. iraqi police have dispersed around two hundred fifty protesters who gathered at the zubair oil field near bandra in the latest display of anger at the government since demonstrations began nine days ago protesters have attacked government buildings and stormed the international airport in one giraffe and many iraqis are angry over poor services and say their leaders don't share the country's oil wealth with the people officials said a protest at these a bare oil field which is run by an italian energy company didn't affect production . israel is tightening its siege on almost two million people living in gaza by restricting further the flow of goods into the territory it's planning to ban all fuel imports through the kerem shalom crossing which is the sole commercial crossing into gaza residents there are hugely reliant on the imports as the territory only get six hours of electricity a day food and medical supplies also need permission to get through. watching out
