any by the result that we change the situation this is a tremendous victory for the congolese people because what you've been thinking will not happen has happened the transfer of power without any bloodshed and saving the electoral process. that is very important to the congolese people so as a kid who has been on the other side of your pollution now. to organize the next election without the late what you were criticizing for the i hope you will not do the same the us president has been accused of concealing details of his face to face meetings with the russian president according to a report in the washington post the paper alleges that donald trump has not released notes made by his interpreter for meeting with vladimir putin in hamburg and twenty seventeen from purportedly instructed the translator not to tell anyone

in his administration what the two leaders had discussed heidi jocasta reports from washington. we know of at least five private meetings between u.s. president donald trump and amir putin during trump's presidency and the reporting in this washington post article focuses on the twenty seventeen g. twenty meeting in hamburg germany we know that during this meeting president was also then the u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson and trump's personal interpreter now tillerson following this meeting told reporters that a wide variety of topics were discussed and that among them trump had pressed who wouldn't whether russia had meddled in the u.s. elections which putin denied than target or told other senior administration officials that trump responded with the words i believe you but since then the lips of that interpreter have been sealed and we may know the reason why now what into

this reporting in the washington post with which cites former and current u.s. officials they say that trump instructed the interpreter not to reveal details of this meeting not even to four other not even to other administration officials and the reporting says that trump took possession of the notes of the interpreter and the result is that not only is there no detailed record of what was discussed between these two leaders in the public arena there may not even exist records in classified records either all of this would which would handicap us foreign policy experts which may have weighed in and influence the president's policy decisions into the future regarding russia and perhaps the biggest threat of all to the u.s. is giving putin extra leverage to manipulate the president earlier president trying to talk to new york times report that the f.b.i.

opened an inquiry to find out if he was secretly with russia against u.s. interests. according to the paper the investigation began in may twenty seventeen to trump fire then f.b.i. director james comey current intelligence investigators were assigned to evaluate whether a trunk was a potential threat to national security the f.b.i. also sought to determine whether the president was deliberately working for russia or unintentionally been influenced by. bruce fein is a former us associate deputy attorney general a constitutional lawyer he says this revelation could lead to more investigations and no other president has ever done anything that skates close to the line of acting on behalf of foreign intelligence service or a foreign country it would necessarily constitute treason which under the united states constitution requires a leving of war but certainly the evidence that was accumulated suggesting that

there was some kind of collaboration between president trump and russia because the house democrats you know now control the house of representatives they can undertake an investigation issue subpoenas to those at the f.b.i. and even though this wasn't you know a crime necessarily it certainly bears on the fitness of the president for office and which means impeachment covers actions that are short of criminal activity but where does this go next and i can guarantee you that the house government affairs and oversight committee will probably issue subpoenas on monday to get the bottom of this why did the f.b.i. think the evidence was credible enough to suggest that mr trump was actually spying on behalf of the country of russia. france's interior ministry says that more than eighty thousand people took part in the ninth saturday of so-called yellow vest

protests across the country there was violence in central paris where tear gas and water cannons used against protesters who threw rocks and why police demonstrations began in november over plans to increase taxes on fuel before the measure was shelved by president emmanuel mccall in response to widespread protests but reports from paris. thousands of protesters marched across paris and they've congregated here the arctic chill just behind me which has become something of a symbol of this yellow vests movement and police are at the moment firing tear gas they trying to move people away from this area dispersed the crowds if you look behind me you can see the police that there are eighty thousand police deployed across the country security has been boosted as the government tries to crack down on what they say some of the most violent elements in the protests so far they have been peaceful most of the protesters are of course peaceful and that's why the police saying it to try and control and manage the situation but it has been very

difficult for them over the full few months to think these protests have been very unpredictable now the government's response has been politically to try to offer protesters more concessions more financial concessions they don't think big national citizens dictate to get people moving in politics next week but people here say that's not enough what they want are more taxes to be scrapped they say they want to move to be done for poor people they say the president and he cares about the rich with just three days to go before the u.k. parliament votes on prime ministers reason maze breaks it deal the country remains deeply divided over leaving the european union protesters marched through london demanding a general election and in northern england a separate event called for a second referendum on zero as paul brennan reports. well. with just days to go and so teresa mayes breck's a deal is voted on the volume and the tension is cranking up. this demonstration
