i think that the situation could have been handled better but we believe that for the sake of long term stability and security we have to be fair to all sides that rule of law must apply to everybody we cannot choose and pick who should be protected by the rule of law and i have to keep repeating because people are very few are interested in that aspect of the situation that in the rakhine there are many many small groups ethnic groups and religious groups and there don't just the muslims and the cons and seem to be the section of much of the world for example we are very small ethnic groups which are fast disappearing but nobody seems to be interested in them and yet they are the ones who could disappear altogether because some are now down to four fingers she was also asked about the case of the two reuters journalists who last week were jailed for seven years true or so and while lone were arrested last year while investigating

a massacre in rakhine state and there was growing international pressure on sun suchi and two governments to grant them pardons it's not a matter of lou they were not jailed because of adjournment they would do with jail because the court as well sentence has been awesome then because the court has decided that they had broken the official secrets act so if we believe in the rule of law they have every right to appeal the judgment and to point out why the gesture in this room if they consider it wrong me and my is expected to come under even more scrutiny at the united nations general assembly next week but on sun sujit will now not be attending. still ahead for you on al-jazeera the united nations says fighting in syria has displaced more than a million people and that is just in the last six months and south sudan's political rival signed a new peace agreement two years after the previous deal fell apart.

also given manufacturers two months to provide details of how they would mitigate sales to mine is it is estimated over two million teenagers use the devices in the u.s. last year we heard from matthew miles president of the campaign for tobacco free kids this is the latest devices are highly addictive i think what we're seeing is an interesting thing in the united states there's been a dramatic decline in the use of cigarettes they're no longer cool among adolescents the new generation of the cigarettes have been designed in such a way that there's sleek and hip they've been marketed with social media campaigns that it peeled to kids and they now come in flavors that are highly appealing to kids and mask the harshness of the flavor so it shouldn't be a surprise if you design a product that appeals to kids marketed on social media and introduce it in flavors you're going to see kids use it what f.d.a. did today is important because they made clear that they see this is a truly serious problem and they recognize that it's the actions of the industry

that has made the problem worse what's unfortunate is that there are experiences shown that given the opportunity the tobacco industry and the east cigarette industry won't reform itself they can't police themselves the only solution is for our government to ban flavored products that appeal to kids ban the kind of advertising that we have seen over the last couple of years eliminate the kind of online sales that make it easy for kids to get the products unless the government acts it won't be solved and i have faith that this food and drug administration does not want to be known as the food and drug administration that allowed another generation of americans to become hooked. funny for you a retrospective of one of the world's great architects opens in london on saturday renzo piano designed brings out the shot in london the new whitney museum in new york and council airport in japan just kobold and went to the royal academy spoke to the man himself. you've probably seen or even visited

latest attempt to end a five year civil war in which tens of thousands of people have died that's a look at your headlines here on al-jazeera the stream is next. millions of dollars is being stolen in a scam that starts in the philippines and stretches across the globe want to win games exclusive access to this cut throat underworld to a criminal turned whistleblower on al-jazeera. hi i'm femi i think it's a double checking in on three stories that we're following very closely here on the stream a recent report by human rights watch finds horrific opinions of muslims in china and then how it confronts is moving running towards the coast of the united states imo it could be that i'll be looking for your comments on twitter and of course in our you tube shop first though a story unfolding right here in washington d.c.

. trump administration will not keep the office open when the palestinians refused to take steps to start direct and meaningful negotiations with israel the united states supports a direct and robust peace process and we will not allow the i.c.c. or any other organization to constrain israel's right to self defense. on monday the government of u.s. president donald trump announced the closure of the palestinian liberation organization or the p.l.o. mission in washington d.c. the decision is the latest in a whole series of steps taken by trump against palestinian leadership late last year the u.s. recognized to receive them as the capital of israel and earlier this month it announced it would stop funding the un agency for palestinian refugees that provides aid to more than five million people a palestinian authority spokesman described this latest move i'm going to quote him here as a declaration of war end of quote on the peace process i want to discuss all this

and more from fairfax virginia new to our god for human rights lawyer an assistant professor at george mason university welcome to the stream now in that clip of john bolton we heard his mention of the i feel we explain the connection for our audience. absolutely the i.c.c. is the international criminal court in the us has been wary of any kind of international criminal jurisdiction over its military forces in the world since the i.c.c. came to into existence in two thousand and two and in fact the clinton administration was opposed to it and the bush administration entered into memorandums of understanding with multiple states in order to ensure that none of its service members would ever be prosecuted abroad or by the i.c.c. so there is a longstanding hostility towards this international mechanism now fast forward and the palestinians have filed a claim against israel in the international criminal court both for its settlement

project in the west bank as well as its warfare on the gaza strip three large scales offensives between two thousand and eight and two thousand and fourteen the us and israel try to blackmail the palestinian authority and tell them rescind your complaint or will withdraw all money from you the palestinians refused and now we see in john bolton's announcement not only targeting the p.l.o. but taking a direct target at the i.c.c. in order to protect itself and israel sitting basically setting itself up not just as the trumpet ministration verses the palestinians but literally the trumpet ministration verses the entire world the rule of law the international criminal legal system as we know it you i'm just wondering if these closing of the office emotions d.c. it's a metaphor for the relationship between the and the trump of ministration right now not even a deep metaphor not quite it it's actually lacks any kind of subtlety we should

understand this on two levels what we're seeing is the shattering of the doors of a diplomatic process that from the beginning has been a farcical peace process the austral accords better known as the declaration of principles that are signed in one thousand nine hundred three had a built in flash from the beginning in that they never guarantee. palestinian sovereignty or state but instead created the facts on the ground that we know today which is the permanence of the settlement project which is the permanence of the occupation and palestinian participation in that has made it possible and given it more life so the shattering of the p.l.o. offices is a closure and you know obvious to the rest of the world that this fake process is now no longer you know nobody nobody is getting dressed to participate in this political theater anymore but the other part that we should be paying attention to is that what this represents is that the u.s. has never been an honest broker in the negotiations and that this is the u.s.

is not just complicit but it's a third party in this conflict and the international community never never. never for that host it's never as i never ever ever ever and i'm a lawyer and i'm a lawyer and i take my word seriously so why why how can i say that with so much confidence if you go back since the one nine hundred sixty seven war in the context of the cold war the us decided in that moment that israel would be its most unique and beneficial ally to achieve its objectives through out the middle east and has since then provided it with qualitative military edge to be able to defeat singularly or collectively all of it's all of the middle eastern states and any kind of military battle that's one and the second is protected israel from any kind of international legal accountability now fast forward to the present in the peace process itself the u.s.

has made clear and aaron david miller who was part of the negotiations and an envoy for the u.s. in this process has said explicitly that the u.s. has not been a broker and has been a lawyer for israel now going after the president all the trumpet ministration is doing is removing the been near removing any kind of sense that the u.s. is an honest broker and being really honest about the fact that it is there to ensure israel's interests and to ensure that the international community and international law is not part of resolving this conflict on those term good i'm glad you brought it to the present because we got this comment here on you tube from someone watching live this is just the who says this is no way towards peace that's for sure someone else on twitter echoing that sentiment says this would be another major mistake from the top administration apart from relocating the u.s. embassy to jerusalem it's a wrong decision for political security and peace reason so updating us to today and what this actually means for palestinians on the ground what's your answer

there. how listin you have been enduring structural violence in the form of and apart from a regina as well as settler colonial removal on a daily basis with or without the peace process that is basically put in place in order to alleviate the conscience of the international community and to believe that this is really just the conflict between the palestinians and israel when in fact this is a geo political conflict where the us and israel are together reshaping the facts on the ground in order to create a new status quo where palestinians live under subjugation permanently we should not make the mistake of pointing to the trumpet ministration as being the final death now the us administration has played this role for over fifty years and we should hold the obama administration the bush administration the clinton administration the president should ministration and so on and so forth accountable for these present day circumstances this should compel us to not just oppose what

the us is doing to not just impose sanctions upon israel for practicing apartheid but to internationalize the question of palestine once and for all and to take it out of the backwaters of bilateral negotiations where it facilitates where it facilitates the entrenchment of the status quo and making the subjugation of palestinians a permanent condition we're going to leave it on that excellent point of course the story is far from over so we look forward to having you back on the show from here a report from human rights watch about the treatment of turkic muslims in china some evidence of large scale repression and surveillance as part of a mass crackdown now different our community is in malaysia but want to cover the issue out of china. currently committing a human rights violation. by stripping and sending them to education can post if you are not using go are. just yes and it works

and we send the rest of heaven and not the crisis. yet a much larger in your skill. relation and. human rights watch report entitled eradicating ideological viruses china's campaigner for oppression against muslims presents new evidence of the chinese government's mass arbitrary detention torture and increasingly pervasive controls on the daily life of more than thirteen million turkic muslims and estimated one million people are being held in prison camps with no access to legal counsel or due process here's one former detainees story muslim militant. islam and. muslim monkey even then told to get it. right they able to swallow. so many given them over the. years and. it was.

clear. that it was a motorway. from washington d.c. sophie richardson is the china director at human rights watch and in london ryan sam is a historian of islam in china and india ryan and sophie thank you for joining us there's a tweet that i shared out a few hours ago to tell our audience that you are going to be on the show let me share it with you here hard to believe this but it's true china installing q all codes on we go muslim homes as part of mass accused in crackdown and then you see what i mean by this writing can you explain how this works and why would china want to do this to members of their own communities. well the chinese are concerned about. the resistance and they're convinced that the reason that we girls are unhappy with chinese rule

because they have wrong ideas and so they're engaged in a project of. thought and of trying to transform into. more more of a chinese type of. culture so this requires beijing the privacy of people requires track where people live and what they're up to and you are clue that door is just one of one of the myriad of. features to. keep track of every individual member of a minority group. so if you want to share this we got from she's not here as r.n. and she's the first of course that pitching this segment of the show she says i think the main issue for me is how the issue is being censored in the republic the people's republic of china having lived there this issue was not even spoken in public and actually i soon that was here due to fear of persecution but eventually

i realized it's due to them being unaware of it even happening so sophie of course this report will mean that people are more aware what do you think is the biggest finding from this report. well there are a couple of different issues not least new evidence of her if it confuses the fact that repression outside the camps is almost as bad as repression inside the camps there are international consequences for people who have family members outside china or people in the africa who are being terrorized by chinese officials largely to try to get them to come back so to speak to you know the other person's point of a moment ago. people across china are allowed to know what the government wants them to know and the extent that they're given any information about all it tends to be on my phobic tend to be community in very tokenistic terms

and so you know there's there's not much readily available information and well i'd like to think that our and other people's reporters who contribute to changing the . censorship in china is pervasive and so. forth like ours or a program like this one. ryan going back to will to see new evidence shows that china is the education council weakest funding. what does that tell us a little bit about that. in regard to evidence from the tiny government quest for construction companies. to the scam and those those requests include plans for camps that would be coming online later this fall or maybe earlier that winter which suggests that even as we speak right now new.

turn based on their. criminal charges. so what do you know about what gets people into the camps what do they have to have done to be taken away oh it's a little having protests you know in the religious ceremony. resisting purchase of peeping in weekly singing like songs or evenings it's as little as having family members who. countries like turkey or malaysia or indonesia you know it's very important understand nothing in chinese law that allows for the. tension of people in the essentially. identity and there are. earlier and become the basis of arbiter or arbitrary detention it's interesting you mentioned having family members of broad can be

a reason to not this is a way they're bulletin who sent us a series of tweets you can see on our twitter feed they read them and why and it's already a well known fact that the flow of information from east turkistan saying to the outside world is strictly controlled by china's state surveillance and censorship apparatus with the help of advanced ai technology this effectively has prevented the news about the vast network of internment camps to reach the global audience through the internet and besides the information blockage by the government self-censorship on social media has become a widespread norm in the weaker community i'm wondering sophie how long do you know that this is been going on. i've been working on these kinds of issues for twenty years and throughout that entire time i hope. your friends and colleagues say that they are deeply frightened about phone calls about technological communications being surveilled being monitored you know. having people in the community who are

essentially on the chinese government payroll who are surveilling others but i think it's very clear that. even considerably in the last few years as people try to find out what's happening to their family members inside the country but are also on the receiving end of phone calls from chinese officials in their hometowns calling them and saying you need to come back now you know we're concerned about what we're doing overseas and if you don't come back your family's going to pay the price and i'm just thinking this report is out there this new evidence it's very clear that the living and we've we've known this for some while but we've got to tell us that they're living in it's like almost a george a well again kind of reality for them what happens next what would happen to the international community if they said to china ok you need to stop this. well we're already starting to see some pushback from united states and quite possible

with the u.s. congress people speaking out and perhaps the executive branch speaking out which is under consideration the moment we'll start to see more countries. certainly there has been a lot of a lot of complete perhaps. some governments are stink because of their fear of economic record you should from from china but it seems to me that as as awareness grows that it's going to be hard for governments to convince their own population that they have a good reason to stay silent. on this kind of situation. orwellian the word you use this is really really appropriate for them there is no private they left readers and want to be remarkable think that came out in the human rights watch report was a report of someone who has a camera. for her own home we also know about living in

the homes. of atrocities and ryan and i think i think exactly what you are detailing here is what our community's picking up on arm ourselves not a lot shocks me but this report about the chinese government putting q.r. codes on weaker muslim holes certainly has one i think sophie and ryan for being part of this conversation today and as always will be following the weser story i mean. this is what confronts looks like com let me give you a little bit more detail here it's a category three hurricane which means the winds around one hundred twenty five miles an hour or two hundred kilometers an hour moving slowly towards the eastern side of the u.s. and when it does it's expected to dump catastrophic amounts of rain how do you prepare for. this big and this strong lesson for our community in north carolina has some very good ideas my organizing efforts for hurricane florence are

focused on direct giving for three reasons one we know that government and not for profit led recovery efforts often leave brown and poor people out to direct giving insurers that one hundred percent of what is donating goes directly to those in need and three this also allows resources to reach those in need quickly and immediately when they need it the most. valley is made urologists an owner of valley weather consulting and has had to evacuate from his home state of north carolina but still made time to join us here in the stream thank you for that and i want to start with this tweet because we're hearing from people directly affected who will be dr sarah says i have stocked up on groceries i will get gas on my way home or move anything inside that can blow away i'm in line enough to be more worried about localized flooding and falling limbs and until those things happen good books and netflix so for people who are perhaps more directly in the line or

the path of this hurricane what's your advice to them what are you telling people. yeah absolutely i think you know at this point it's wednesday afternoon the storm is coming late thursday in through the weekend and at this point if you're in the path of the storm you need to have finalized most of your preparations at this point whether that's finding higher ground if you're near the coast stocking up on on supplies nonperishable food items gasoline all those necessities that you you would need in order to survive a power power outage that could last as much as two weeks in some locations so certainly we need to be finalizing those preparations now as florence makes its run at us here over the next few days i'm not some feel top tips ad from your twitter things because when people evacuated it's not just like you just drive out and head north or away from the storm because thousands of other people are also doing the

same thing have a look at what ed was recommending using the at gas buddy app so that you can work out how do you not run out of gas other practical tips will be what. you know i think at this point again we're towards the end of the preparation cycle are you saying it's too late if you haven't done it you're in trouble you know we're starting to see gasoline shortages in portions of the carolinas anywhere from about ten percent ten to fifteen percent of gasoline is already out in some of these locations so you know we again you need to be finalizing meaning reparations now because you know it's going to be too late as the storm is bearing down on us as we speak people are already talking about inches and how much rainfall that might be but it's really hard if you're not a weather person to understand what that means what might happen to north carolina and south carolina in the next three days. so a really good comparison here we had hurricane matthew that impacted a lot of the same area including my hometown here of fayetteville. in two thousand

and sixteen and that dropped anywhere from ten to twenty inches of rain over a few days span and we saw the rivers rapidly rise we saw a lot of homes washed away just because of the power of the water so you know we're getting to the situation now where this rain is going to cause issues and you know that's going to lead to flooding not only right along the coastline but well inlet wherever this storm goes right now we're thinking it's going to hit southern south or north carolina and then turn westward into south carolina as we move through the weekend and that slope forward motion is going to lead to a lot of rainfall like you mentioned anywhere from ten to in some cases thirty inches of rain and that's going to lead to devastating flooding and again this is why we preach the preparation for this storm because in some cases if you're your place gets flooded you could be weeks without power and without any access to you

know any sort of real food you know you need to have those backup supplies just in case and it's not only just the preparation for the public but it's also portions of the add community agriculture community in the carolinas that there's a lot of low income areas in these areas and you know that's going to lead to a lot of of heartache if the preparations are taken seriously i'm glad you mentioned preparations there ad of course the president has been talking in recent days he says that these coast is very prepared he also mentioned of course the last year's hurricane maria and said that it was an sunk success what his administration's response was angele says my traumatized relatives and heartbroken dad who disagree with the response to hurricane maria was an unsung success she goes on to say i have a sibling now in jacksonville north carolina who may be leaving the state soon and the fact that she is by the water when a category four is coming it's scary to think about how prepared are these not just the people but the community as the authorities and the state. right and the one

thing that's a positive in this situation is the carolinas are used to dealing with these types of storms it's been a while the last major hurricane to impact this area was actually hurricane floyd in one nine hundred ninety nine so it's been almost twenty years but a lot of these people have have either dealt with a tropical storm or a weaker hurricane and are fairly familiar with how to prepare for these systems but that doesn't change the fact that even if you're well inland you could be dealing with like jacksonville for example you can be dealing with hurricane force gusts and in plenty of heavy right we've got thirty seconds left just enough time for me just a rum this this this track right now that doesn't mean it's exactly going to go in this direction but just over the next couple of days by so that the bottom here through to fry is a this is where our confronts is like a land and then he just sits and sits rains so he's expecting to see

a lot of rain there as well ed thank you so much for joining us and a reminder to our community if you have a story you'd like to see on this train catch us at we'll see you next time. thank. you.

my mangers might hurt a manager as much to all of my children my crimes as beautiful as brown is to doubt points of view that he doesn't say we need to. do for the just we've just seen the club. i am mentioning i've only done. all of my. mind nigeria on al-jazeera.

what makes this moment is you know we're living through something unique and. we haven't seen the president this is unpredictable freedom of speech is a valid motley plans and that is a perfect formula for authoritarianism in tyranny or me in the light so long as there's nowhere to hide let me ask you straight out the us is the two state solution no bid up front for italians on al-jazeera. israeli troops clear a camp for activists in the occupied west bank near a bedouin village which is due to be demolished.

hello from doha everyone i'm come all santa maria this is the world news from al-jazeera florence is threatening the u.s. east coast losing strength but millions are still under warning to move to safety. also the european parliament votes for sanctions against hungary for breaching european union values and why the stock markets are necessarily that impressed with apple's latest law. so i was really forces in the occupied west bank of cleared a camp for activists that is next to a bed when village which is due to be demolished israel's top court approved the destruction of the village of qana my last week it is expected that land will be used for more illegal settler homes the plan to raise the village where two hundred people live has drawn international criticism for such as reporting for us from qana. the people of color since the early hours of wednesday morning have known

that at any time israeli forces could move in here and start to demolish their village one hundred eighty villages who live in the spittoon village in the occupied west bank where at five am this morning israeli forces did move in but they didn't come here and starts invading this village they stayed on the outskirts of the village an area where there are a few temporary structures that have been put up by activists in solidarity they declared that a military zone they prevented any access to anyone else as they demolished those structures and took them away we spoke to the head of the commission for the wall and settlements senior palestinian official he says that that is good news that so far at least. survives we hope that it will be a good sign that the five of them that they have succeeded to destroy the five houses but it was not our but they'll be defending that they have. to defend the houses of money and to after the album at tech and the area

around it and that that we when out of the school doors around the houses and that was our go and found the houses and double took the houses and nothing happened here we are and now we thank god that the house is. safe and all the safe. so for one more day at least the children here at the tire school in khan are have arrived for classes life goes on the reason that there's been so much pressure against this move by the israelis of course is about the villages themselves and their rights but it's also about fears of wider israeli plans for greater illegal settlement expansion we're here east of jerusalem where here in the middle of the occupied west bank there are fears that jerusalem is going to be ringed in the future that there could be real attack on the territorial contiguity of a future palestinian state slicing that state into that is why the e.u.

and others have talked about this in such terms as it being a real threat to the possibility of a two state solution in the future. in other news millions of people in the eastern united states are making last minute preparations for what is predicted to be a major storm and it already has hurricane florence even though it's been downgraded to category two in recent hours is about five hundred kilometers off the u.s. coast the national hurricane center thinks it could make landfall in full by friday ten million people have been warned they are at risk in south carolina north carolina and virginia they are expected to be the worst hit tears and gallagher he's in wilmington north carolina. there are two major concerns that forecasters have here one is the storm surge which is predicted to be anywhere from two meters just above my head to twice that height that would simply swallow all the buildings around as that is one major concern the second major concern forecasters and authorities have is that once hurricane florence gets a are not expected to be friday morning it will linger that means it will be

extremely dangerous extremely powerful it will bring that storm surge and hang around on this coastline for potentially two to three days before moving inland where it will still be a dangerous storm authorities have evacuated around one point six million people some have chosen to stay those that have chosen to stay know that in the coming days they will get no help the authorities say if you stay you're putting your life at risk so what we're looking at here potentially is billions of dollars in damages that storm surge comes in wind damage possible potentially life threatening conditions for those that choose to stay but this is a huge storm the storm of a lifetime is what it's being called this region of the east coast the united states hasn't seen anything like this in decades hungary says it will challenge a european parliament decision which could see it stripped of its e.u. voting rights parliament members voted by a large majority to take action against hungry for not following you values on to moccasin civil rights it is the first time such measures have been approved about

a report from strasburg. there was applause as members of the european parliament voted to punish hungry for breaching e.u. values for the first time they need greed to article seven a procedure that could lead to budapest losing its voting rights it was nice dodge lawmakers report on hungary to the decision we've seen the democrats in hungary deteriorate since two thousand and ten. press freedom is it's not guaranteed the judiciary has lost independent academic freedom. is share is falling down vote is unlikely to surprise hungary's far right anti immigration prime minister he and the e.u. have clashed repeatedly over the years victor plan has accused the european parliament of trying to blackmail him to change his ways and in budapest his foreign minister has dismissed the vote saying hungary is being unfairly targeted

like you. today's european parliament decision was nothing else but petty revenge of pro immigration politicians against hungary outside put a pests parliament anti government campaigners protested. all of them in their best opened talks about everything on tuesday but not the reality here in hungary everything is always about migration it's to full heard gary ns and they swallow it by going through their own fears is true it's not a distortion the government have been trying to the last step by step i think because they want to hold on to power. the e.u. will issue hungry with a formal warning before deciding whether to strip it of its voting rights such a move would damage hungary's international reputation but this supporter says it could actually bolster leadership in the long term mr obama be a winner of this procedure because he can establish a new platform video in the european peoples but they can make new alliances in

europe and through that it can increase its influence on the european domestic politics for now pro european politicians are celebrating but their victory may be short lived the vote has highlighted the growing divisions in the e.u. that threaten the bloke's very existence and its future natasha butler al-jazeera strasburg france. me and mars the leader aung sang suu kyi says her government is facing many challenges in rakhine state hundreds of thousands of range of muslims live there before august of last year of course when they fled that massive military crackdown so she admitted the crisis could have been handled differently speaking at the world economic forum meeting in hanoi and why and how use their. aung sun suu cheez appearance at the world economic forum on southeast asia in hanoi was her first international speaking engagement since a united nations report was released last month that called for genocide charges to

be laid against me and military leaders for attacks on wrecking your communities in rakhine state that report was also very critical of aung san suu kyi and her government for their failure to condemn the violence something she also refused to do here in hanoi there are of course. we simply too with hindsight might think that the situation could have been handled better but we believe that for the sake of long term stability and security we have to be fair to all sides that rule of law must apply to everybody we cannot choose and pick who should be protected by the rule of law and have to keep repeating because people are very few are interested in that aspect of the situation that in the rakhine there are many many small groups ethnic groups and religious groups and there don't just the muslims and the kind seem to be the section of much of the world for

example we are very small ethnic groups which are fast disappearing but nobody seems to be interested in them and yet they are the ones who could disappear altogether because some are now down to four fingers she was also asked about the case of the two reuters journalists who last week were jailed for seven years. and while lone were arrested last year while investigating a massacre in rakhine state and there was growing international pressure on sun suchi and two governments to grant them pardons it's not a matter of lou they were not jailed because of adjournment they went to deal with jail because the court has well sentence have been passed on them because the court has decided that they had broken the official secrets act so if we believe in the room. law they have every right to appeal the judgment and to point out why the gesture in this room if they consider. me and my is expected to come under even

more scrutiny at the united nations general assembly next week but on sun suchi will now not be attending. u.s. president donald trump has signed an executive order authorizing sanctions against individuals all countries which are found to have meddled in american elections trump has faced months of criticism for not doing enough to prevent potential foreign interference in future phones this from out white house correspondent kimberly hocket. with just weeks until u.s. voters go to the polls for a vote determining control of congress president donald trump signed an executive order to punish nations that interfere with that election the president has specifically directed us the director of national intelligence made wednesday's announcement along with national security adviser john bolton it follows their briefing last month with other top intelligence and law enforcement chiefs our democracy itself is in the crosshairs free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy and it has become clear that they are the target of our

adversaries the white house says those adversaries include not just russia accused of meddling in the twenty sixteen presidential vote but also china iran and north korea. and his summit in finland with russian president vladimir putin trump was reluctant to point fingers at the kremlin he just said it's not russian it's a statement he later backtracked. the sentence should have been i don't see any reason why i wouldn't or why it wouldn't be russia russia denies any interference in two thousand and sixteen at a geneva meeting in august bolton's russian counterpart refused to sign a joint statement that included the election meddling allegations still u.s. intelligence expects there will be more attempts to interfere trump's new executive order hopes to address that setting up a mechanism through the department of justice and the state department to impose

sanctions on any individual or nation ninety days after election meddling is confirmed the white house says those sanctions would be calibrated base.
