we're on the frontline but somber attacks at the apple valley exactly. he's a weak person. what he's trying to do is get a reduced sentence donald trump of taxes form a lawyer who's admitted lying to congress about a russian real estate deal. short time later the u.s. president called off a meeting with vladimir putin blaming russia is worsening standoff with ukraine. get on a variance and again this is live from doha also coming up freedom replaced by fear people in senegal speak out about an internet crackdown months before election plus

. reggae music is declared a global cultural pressure. pressure is building on u.s. president donald trump after his former lawyer admitted lying to congress michael cohen says he made false statements last year during an investigation into alleged russian interference in the twenty sixteen presidential election al-jazeera is pretty cool hand reports from washington. mobbed by reporters michael cohen said nothing leaving the court but inside a guilty plea he lied to congress now admitting that he was trying to arrange a real estate deal in moscow during the time it was clear donald trump would be the republican candidate the cohen was in fact going to travel to russia to work on the

deal and that now president trump knew about it all things cohen had previously denied bruce fein worked in the justice department and he says this is a big deal so this is a time where we have a criminal information that identifies the president himself secondly it also indicates that president trump or then candidate trump felt vulnerable. if it was known that he was dealing in russian enterprises or because he would need to curry to favor of mr putin nothing happens in russia of important without mr putin's approval the president dismissed the news in his usual fashion badmouthing his former top aide he's a weak person. by being weak i'd like other people that you watch he's a weak person and what he's trying to do is get a reduced sentence so he's lying about a project that everybody knew about i mean we were very open to where the kohen did

plead guilty to crimes that completely related to trump pain of women who trump had an affair with so they would stay quiet before the election and while it might not have been illegal to do a deal in russia while he is under investigation for potentially colluding with russia to win the election it would have looked suspicious this makes six six close aides to the president have now pled guilty as part of the special counsel's probe democrats say this is bad for the president you've got all these closest associates of the president one after another pleading guilty often pleading guilty about their ties to russia and russians and what are they covering up for and we also have a white house that still seems just obsessed about this investigation it's believed the special counsel has filed several indictments that are still under seal which means it is quite likely michael cohen won't be the last to face the cameras or the court in washington. spy cameras also following this story he joins us now live

from washington so mike what are the wider implications of cohen's admissions for both the investigation and for president trump. well the implications of very grave indeed the most important fact here is that michael cohen makes very clear that he lied to the senate intelligence committee in order to stay on line with the man referred to as individual one in the court documents now that individual one is very clearly donald trump so in other words michael cohen lied in order not to publicly disagree with the statements that had been made by donald trump during the presidential campaign donald trump saying very clearly on a number of occasions he had no business dealings in russia whatsoever now the other very key issue here is the timing off the charges being brought against baikal cohen now one must remember that last week president trump submit to his

written answers to questions asked by the special counsel it would appear that the special counsel wanted to get those on suspects first before revealing publicly that michael cohen was revealing the fact that he had lied to the special to the senate intelligence committee the question is now what did donald trump say in those written on says to the special counsel the president can say anything publicly but if he has written incorrect information in a response to the special counsel then that has not served ramifications for donald trump and the office many thanks indeed don't as mike hanna in washington shortly after he had reacted to news about michael cohen donald trump abruptly canceled a meeting with russia's vladimir putin which was to happen during the g twenty summit in argentina he's also ruled out meeting the saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon saying that there is not enough time white house correspondent kimberly

hellcat reports from one of solders in a year filled with memorable foreign trips u.s. president donald trump's first visit to south. to attend the meeting of g. twenty leaders in argentina is bound to make headlines. he cancelled his last trip to south america april the u.s. was preparing to strike syria this time embroiled in trade disputes with europe canada and china. a border fight with mexico and a climate policy that is muddled at best troubled just like the previous g. twenty be surrounded by leaders who have serious disagreements with him. he has several meetings planned but his dinner with chinese president xi jinping will be closely watched. we can have trade that's meant for stupid people trump has railed against what he calls unfair trade practices by the chinese and

has slapped import tariffs on hundreds of billions of goods he's threatened to significantly increase those tariffs next year his me was she will be an attempt to cool tensions. he was supposed to meet with russian president vladimir putin but abruptly announced on thursday he's canceling it over concerns about the recent russian incursion in crimea which is heighten the possibility of war with ukraine it will also be the first time trump is in the same room as saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin solomon since the death of jim he's the washington post contributor who was murdered in the saudi consulate in istanbul last month. trump has faced heavy criticism following his recent decision to back the kingdom and ignore the assessment of the cia which reportedly believes the crown prince was involved still there is no official meeting set up between trump and the crown

prince i would have had with him but we didn't set that one up by meeting with president which is a very important meeting having to do with race and as you know i make it about three or four meetings or just to have done one area of compromise for the g. twenty leaders could be on the issue of climate change it was divisible last time they met in germany but now a decision by the trump administration to bury a report on the disastrous impacts of climate change could make agreement once again a tough sell kimberly help at al-jazeera. that's coming up to. well how the leaders gathering here as react to the saudi crown prince has been one of the things that has dominated the build up to the g. twenty whether or not they will have discussions with them whether or not they will actually sit down and have a bilateral meeting will they sit next to him at dinner who will sit next to him at dinner we know that donald trump isn't planning to talk to mohammed bin selman he

says there's simply no time we know that is keen to speak to mohammed bin salman mohammed bin salman himself wants to talk to the turkish president no meeting has yet been fixed and president micro of france well he says he wants to speak to the saudi crown prince and one of the things he's going to discuss is the murder of jamal khashoggi. i have always been very clear in the case of arabia and i will inevitably have the opportunity to discuss it with the saudi crown prince on the margins of this g. twenty meeting we will have the opportunity to discuss it among european leaders as i requested before the g. seven but there's probably never been a time when the g twenty has all seen eye to eye on every issue they've always been problems always divisions but this time it seems as if the alliance is more fractured than ever before they have the issue to deal with of mohammed bin salomon and how the international community reacts to saudi arabia over that there is what happened in the waters off the ukraine just at the weekend and that is the ongoing

battle between china and the united states the world's two largest economies in a trade war and we know that both leaders are going to sit down and discuss that too well the u.n. secretary general until you get ten days says that the g twenty really has to put these issues aside and take global action on global issues. so although they're seeing the central problems of all that just because. there's of course the trouble with. the woman you. know he's identified the. but i also asked them ok so you know what the issues are how do you fix them and he said well i don't know maybe i should ask you i pointed out i'm not the u.n. secretary general but it sure is the difficulty that he's got in trying to get countries to concentrate on things like global warming which they need to try and sort out they also need to discuss the global economy there are experts who believe

that we're heading towards another recession perhaps not quite as bad as two thousand and eight but enough that will cause problems right around the world so these are the things that they've got to concentrate on over the next forty eight hours how they do that well that's for the organizers to try and sort out they want to come up with some sort of communique at the end of this gathering at the moment they're not entirely sure that they can get all twenty nations to sign on to something that that would be a sign of progress canada is imposing sanctions on seventeen saudi nationals who it believes had a role in the murder of the journalist. the us germany and france have already taken similar action canada is also reviewing arms sales to the king of. murder and to martha showed she is a point and represents an unconscionable attack on freedom of expression and freedom of the press we continue to call for a credible and independent international investigation. this case is

well again the top stories this hour on al-jazeera donald trump's formal more as admitted lying to congress about a real estate deal in russia told a court that he made the false statements during an investigation into alleged russian meddling in the twenty sixteen election and the u.s. president has canceled a meeting with russia's vladimir putin which was to happen during the g twenty summit in argentina he's blaming russia's worsening standoff with ukraine and as that crisis escalates ukraine's president is asking the world for help petro poroshenko wants nato to deploy ships to the sea of azoff where russia has been blockading ports russia's also deploying more surface to air missiles to crimea border regions in ukraine are now at a martial law including the city of kharkiv from where andrew symonds reports. martial law in ukraine second city is very evident more police on the ground and extra vigilance but most of the emergency powers now available to the president

politicians are still cynical about the president's motivations with their actions at the end of march next year the fact that a bill like the one that a bill on the back of twenty fourteen it should have been done and everyone would have taken it normally it could have been an adequate response to the situation but now it looks ridiculous. an estimated thirty percent of hockey these people are ethnic russian and the border is only forty kilometers away if the conflict was to escalate drastically would certainly be in the firing line and this is the city that built thousands of teeth thirty four times its legendary armor believed by many to have been one of the main reasons why the soviets defeated the nazis in the second world war. now work to build and maintain ukrainian tanks is virtually nonstop with exports halted. it's not necessarily what's had.

a better future the ebola outbreak in the democratic republic of congo is now the second largest on record behind twenty four teens epidemic that killed thousands in west africa the world health organization delivered the assessment after congo's health ministry announced that there have been almost four hundred in certain cases since the start of august it's spreading in the country's northeast where attacks by rebel groups are making it difficult for health workers to contain the disease peter j. hotez is the dean of the national school of tropical medicine at baylor college of medicine he told us more about the threats facing health workers in that part of the world. this part of eastern congo is one of the most destabilized. regions of the world they've had almost continuous violence for practically twenty years and you might say well what is violence and conflict have to do with disease well what happens is that collapses the whole health system infrastructure so when you want

to be concerned about safe aerials which are a big problem during outbreaks or contacting potentially the individual this presents a really tough problem for health workers were poor area the good news is that we have a vaccine that was we didn't have a vaccine on hand but twenty fourteen outbreaks in west africa so we have a very effective and relatively safe accident available now. so that's the good news and so far more than thirty thousand doses of vaccine have been deployed but the problem is working in such an unstable area you have to ensure the safety of the health of the vaccinators and you have to be able to trace intentional contacts and get vaccinated so in theory this should be a non-problem we should be able to quickly contain this who uses a vaccine but because of the massive political instability one of the most difficult parts of the world there really slows things down and unfortunately so

fake news and regulating the telecom operators who for now have complete oversight on how people consume online with the boom of smartphones in africa data has become the new gold and governments here want to have more control over it. but you senegal's that new legislation comes just months before a presidential election where campaigning is taking place online because. we have a tradition of debate discussion and laughter under the village tree with so many people now living away from the community as in the cities the internet has replaced the village troon it's important that this tradition is preserved online shunned by her peers since her release from prison monday has lost her job as a news reporter instead she works at a call center and sells textiles on the streets. it is only in the privacy of her home that she goes back online in search of a safe place to talk. nicholas hawk al-jazeera out to car. dozens of people are
