and i'm just on the attack and this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up the democratic republic of congo is the ebola outbreak becomes the second largest on record. and afraid at the age of fifteen but hundreds more young palestinians are still locked up and it's raining. pressure is building on us president on trump after his former lawyer admitted to lying to congress michael cohen says he made the false statements last year during an investigation into alleged russian interference in the twenty sixteen presidential election had reports from washington d.c. . 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 he's a weak person. by being weak god 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. 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 declined al-jazeera washington mike hanna has more from washington d.c. . for the first time since the special counsel's investigation began donald trump is firmly in robert miller's cross has in his evidence submitted to the court michael cohen speaks of an individual one this has subsequently be identified as donald trump himself now michael cohen's evidence is that he lied to congress because he did not want to publicly contradict the statements made by individual one donald trump had repeatedly said throughout the presidential campaign that he had no business dealings of any kind in russia michael coincidence is that up until at least june twenty sixth negotiations were continuing with trump property operations inside russia with russian individuals this means that president trump

was to reveal a candidate when they're worth connections and negotiations with individuals in russia itself the despite the fact that even at that stage there'd be an intelligence indications that russia was attempting to subvert the electoral process so very damaging evidence for president trump at this particular stage he's completely dismissive of it having tweeted from pureness areas where he's attending the g. twenty gathering that this proves that there is no collusion well many observers believe it proves exactly the opposite and it seems as though the hairs are beginning to be pulled together by the special council well donald trump has now arrived in argentina joining fellow world leaders for the g. twenty summit but saudi crypt saudi crown prince mohammed bin sound attendance has overshadowed the broad agenda so too has the trump administration's trade war with china to raise it by reports from when is aries. the mothers of us have

a manual have been demanding to know the whereabouts of their missing children since they disappeared during argentina's dictatorship forty years ago. the g twenty gives them a chance to take their message to a wider audience and. the city is under siege it seems like we're under curfew but we made it here and once again we call on world leaders to stop the policies that create hunger poverty and that hurt the working class. they were into thousands of people are promising to take over the streets of one of site is on friday in spite of these protests this is a historic event for argentina and an opportunity to be at the center of world affairs even though there are several issues overshadowing the main objective which is to build consensus on crucial issues like climate change and inequality. among them the presence of saudi crown prince mohammed bin salomon and the request by

human rights watch to investigate him over the murder of journalism i casually. skilling has changed relations between saudi and the western world. says he's ready to talk to the crown prince about what happened. sure i have always been very clear on the case of saudi 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 donald trump arrived in when a site is on thursday evening ready to discuss the trade war between the united states and china he's canceled he's meeting with russian president vladimir putin after the seizure of crane and ships by russia at the crimean peninsula. this protester came all the way from the united states carrying a baby trump. he's been an activist opposing the u.s. foreign policy since the vietnam war we would like the president of the united

states that a little bit more mature that's if i was going to boil it down to just one statement it would be that we think it's asinine that he's on twitter we think it's asinine that he's the one that. picks fights seems to want to take the smallest and lowers the road instead of the high the g twenty begins proper on friday this mass yoga session was organized to help leaders concentrate on we solving their differences. the protest around when a site is will remind them how hard that task is likely to be. alan fischer is also and when as areas and has this update. or a number of issues have dominated the run up to the g twenty the talking about the agenda they're talking about mohammed bin salminen who will meet the saudi crown prince we knew already that donald trump isn't going to do that we know that president putin would like to we know that mohammed bin salman has requested to

meet president of turkey that may well happen but everyone's going to be watching to see who shakes his hand who welcomes him to the dinner who sits beside him who he stands next to in the family photo all of this will give an indication on whether or not mohammed bin selman is being welcomed back into the international community if the international community is ready to put aside the issues they have particularly over the killing of jamal khashoggi in fact one senior royal said at the weekend that if you want to talk about the global economy if you want to do business then you really have to deal with the saudi government and that means dealing with mohamed ben solomon but the organizers of the g. twenty and global leaders are also hoping that crucial issues will be discussed things like global warming things like the global economy there are some experts who say we could well be heading for another recession not quite as bad as two thousand and eight but something that would cause untold misery for many people around the globe while the u.n.

secretary general is in argentina he had a news conference earlier on thursday and i asked him how he can get everyone pointing in the same direction and trying to bring global solutions to global problems. that they're seeing the central problems of all. just because. of course you see just as the woman you are and tony a good heroes understands one of the fault lines are and i asked him you know what the problems are how do you get everyone pointing in the same direction and coming up with a solution he said i don't know you tell me i pointed out i wasn't the u.n. secretary general but that perhaps sure is his frustration the. the twenty biggest economies are involved in individual rows rather than looking at the big picture and working towards solutions there they're hoping at the end of the g twenty there will be an official communique it would be unusual if there wasn't but given the

divisions given the problems it's by no means got in teeth if they were able to get a statement which discusses what has been achieved and where they need to go that that would be progress britain's prime minister plans to raise the matter of jamal khashoggi and the war in yemen when she meets the saudi crown prince and when his aires during a flight to argentina to resume a reiterated to journalists that chill push for a full investigation and for all those responsible for the killing to be punished u.n. sponsored talks between gammons warring parties are expected to start next week in sweden as western powers press for an end to a war that's pushed the country to the verge of starvation u.n. humanitarian chief has visited the capital asuna which is controlled by who the rebels they're fighting against the government which is backed by a saudi u.a.e. military coalition the outbreak in the democratic republic of congo is now the

second largest on record behind twenty fourteen's epidemic that killed thousands in west africa the world health organization delivered the assessment after congo's health ministry announced there have been almost four hundred thirty cases since the start of august two hundred fifty people have died it's spreading in the country's north east where attacks by rebel groups are making it difficult for health workers to contain the disease. 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 does 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 safety aerials which are a big problem during oral outbreaks or contacting potentially infected individuals this presents a really tough problem for health workers working in area the good news is that we

have a vaccine that was we didn't have the vaccine and the twenty fourteen outbreak in west africa that we have a very effective and relatively safe vaccine available now. so that's the good news and so far more than thirty thousand doses of vaccine at the deployed but the problem is working in such an unstable area you have to assure the safety of the health of the vaccinators and you have to be able to trace intentional contact the guest and then vaccinated so in theory this should be. a non-problem should be able to quickly containing this through use of the 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 far more than two hundred people perish the weather is next and then. she begs them to kill her and member of china's weak and minority he tells us how to torture in a detention camp. and full steam ahead and they just move into storing relations
