not explicitly condemning the attacker who hailed the president as a symbol of renewed white identity in his manifesto they were zonder is live from washington d.c. so how much criticism has donald trump been facing. he's been facing a lot of criticism just here on sunday on the morning news program so democratic senator tim kaine said that you know we have to confront the fact that there is a rise in white supremacy anti immigrant and anti muslim attitudes in the u.s. according to tim kaine then he went on to say and we asked also have to confront the fact that the president uses language often that's very similar to the language used by bigots and racists that's from a sitting senator now if we had to see some of this it didn't have to take too long as just on sunday morning president donald trump tweeted his support for a t.v. personality here in the u.s. her name is jeanine pirro she's a fox news commentator and she hosts our own program on sunday she's been suspended

from fox news for precisely because of islamic phobia and time muslim comments she made during her program on sunday president donald trump tweeted out support for her just three days after dozens of muslims killed in the mosque mosques in new zealand so a lot of people had their scratching their heads saying why would he do that we've got to remember that sentiments in this regard to date back a long time we've got to remember that his first policy decision as president as well remember was his muslim band banning people from primarily muslim dominant countries into the u.s. he was also one that promoted the full size idea that barack obama was born in kenya during the campaign he falsely said that new jersey muslims celebrated the attacks of nine eleven that's not true but as a conspiracy theory that to the donald trump promoted for a long time so you add all of this up and it has so many people saying that this is

a president that does not it emboldens people that hate have hatred for muslims or people from other cultures mick mulvaney the chief of staff for president donald trump went on the sunday shows on sunday and he refuted that this is what he had to say. instead of worrying about well. to blame how do we stop from doing this. blame what happened in new zealand and then mark zuckerberg is because he invented facebook there are some terrible people in the world we need to work with our partners of which new zealand is one of them to try and figure a way to find them expose them and bring them to justice. but if people really hoping that trump will really call out islamophobia based on what we've seen so far and his tweets on sunday morning no indications of that this far. the. criminal court.

a deadly political agenda we have to protect our nation what has happened to the engine that's one of the biggest stains on the country as a whole. this is not religion this is the politics being an unholy alliance on al-jazeera. and we're going to amount of top stories here on down to zero the families of those killed in an attack on two mosques in christchurch new zealand will be able to bury their loved ones from wednesday according to the country's prime minister. says the bodies of the deceased will be released this week. the police presence around the

country has been stepped off as people return to work on monday morning extra offices are due to be deployed around schools businesses and places of worship. in the u.s. the white house chief of staff has defended president trump for accusations that he's failing to condemn white supremacy trump has come under fire from members of congress for his reaction to new zealand massacre which they say wasn't forceful enough. israeli army has launched a major operation in the occupied west bank at least one israeli was killed two others were wounded in stabbings and shootings by a suspected palestinian attack a very force that as more western muslims. israeli military has now set out a sequence of events as to what happened on sunday morning in the occupied west bank at the intersection known as the ariel intersection southwest of nablus palestinian attacker stabbed a soldier an israeli soldier and took his weapon firing on vehicles in the vicinity

that soldier now confirmed to have been killed in that attack the israeli media says that an israeli civilian someone a rabbi who lived in an illegal settlement in the occupied west bank was also injured driving a vehicle that was fired upon in that same instance the attack of then is said to have got into a vehicle which had been abandoned drove to another nearby intersection and fired at a bus stop where another soldier was injured so we have one confirmed dead and two seriously injured in this double attack the vehicle that he was driving was then discovered near by the palestinian village of burkean where there was a major military operation that went on through much of the afternoon on sunday house to house searches a good number of israeli troops focusing their efforts there there was said to have been an exchange of gunfire in the early stages of that operation as well and more

broadly there were closures of illegal israeli settlements palestinian villages also shut down in the course of this very extensive military operation the israeli prime minister is saying that the perpetrator or perpetrators will be found and brought to justice the actions have been welcomed by hamas and islamic jihad in gaza where there have been rallies that have been staged in celebration in support of this act hamas is saying it's a natural consequence of his ready crimes islamic jihad is congratulating those who were involved. israel's top court has disqualified a controversial far right candidate from standing in next month's parliamentary elections the decision overturned a ruling earlier this month by israel's election committee which had allowed jewish powers michael ben-ari to run israel's attorney general said barry should be banned for incitement to racism the court has also reversed the ban on an arab party standing for election government have attacked an army base in mali killing at

least twenty four soldiers because were destroyed with a base in the central region of mopti was briefly under siege on saturday night a camp commander is among those who've been shot no one has claimed responsibility but attacks by groups linked to al-qaeda and are still a common. the philippines has officially withdrawn from the international criminal court it began a process to leave last year after the hague based court and watched an initial examination into president rodriguez to test his war on drugs thousands are suspected drug users and dealers have been killed since the crackdown started in twenty sixty. one of the points of being a member of the international criminal court when when you agree to sign up. to its jurisdiction if you withdraw that with the girl is suspended for a period of twelve months afterwards that is in effect to prevent situations just like this where where a state is accused of war crimes crimes and they withdraw to shield themselves from

prosecution though the whole point is that you cannot be permitted to do that so the i.c.c. will continue and will have jurisdiction over prosecuting the president and the senior officials that they consider to be responsible clearly there are a lot within the philippines that want to ensure that the regime is held accountable you know when one looks at the allegations that have been made that they are stark. in terms of the number of killings the brutality of the killings and the president hasn't sought to distance himself from them quite the contrary is has taken full credit for it so the evidence against him is overwhelming and of course he should stand trial and this step will not change that and hopefully the supremes court will take a strong stance to uphold the rule of law and ensure that he's held accountable. so obvious president has warned violence will not be tolerated after opposition

supporters stormed the national t.v. station to protest against his rule xander church was speaking at a news conference while thousands of demonstrators gathered outside determined to stop him leaving the building which is facing increasing demands to resign and for the country to hold fair elections to produce a real me to serbia will not allow while in threats to anyone. everyone who thinks that with hooliganism violence physical attacks and people can gain political results they are mistaken. we beg for freedom of the press to give us the opportunity to make the voice of the opposition heard a different opinion so that the organizers of these demonstrations can be heard on serbian public television out areas newly appointed prime minister. has started talks to form a new government the new cabinet will include experts without political affiliation in response to the ongoing nationwide demonstrations but it's still unclear whether

trash there is next speaking to the multimillionaire investor taking on vladimir putin's as watch as he sees. the ripples of. the turmoil of post soviet russia in the ninety's saw a handful of business people grow rich. while the country itself group poor. and the world stage a once proud nation was humiliated. into the mix of chaotic capitalism and wild west opportunity step to young stanford business graduate ready to make his fortune . bill browder built the largest foreign investment fund in russia revelling in

deals that saw his investments increased ten fold overnight emboldened by his own success sprout a began to speak out about a culture of corporate corruption. soon forming file of russia's new president vladimir putin. in two thousand and five browder was expelled from the country and declared a threat to national security he's head of intelligence vestment fund was raided and he says a complex fraud conducted by russian officials resulted in the theft of some two hundred thirty million dollars it was a scheme uncovered by browed his lawyer surrogate magnitsky whose later death in prison apparently the result of torture gave brown to a thirst for revenge and justice purpose of putin's regime has been to commit terrible crimes in two thousand and twelve the united states congress passed the magnitsky act aimed at freezing the assets of those suspected of financial crimes

and human rights abuses and magnitsky style provisions of being adopted by the. european union so russia is a country where a thousand individuals have stolen all the money bill browder multimillionaire investor turned anti putin activist talks to al-jazeera. thank you for talking to al-jazeera. you've been on record describing yourself as flooded near putin's public enemy number one is that something that scares you or do you wear it as a badge of honor well i would say both i mean of course when vladimir putin wants to go after you he's got resources and he's not constrained in ways that others are and so i live a very precarious life which may end very suddenly and tragically however the reason that i'm in this position is that. vladimir putin in his regime killed my

lawyer sergei magnitsky from covering a massive putin connected corruption scheme and they killed him in a in a horribly sadistic way at the age of thirty seven and i've been going after them ever since they killed him and we've created a law in the name of sergei magnitsky in the united states in the u.k. in canada and the stony a laffey a lithuania and many other countries and there's a lot putin hate so much and that's the reason why he hates me and the fact that this law is causing him so much grief is something which which shows that we've got him back and that's what you with with pride you've been convicted in russia in a censure on two counts accused of tax fraud arrested very publicly in madrid last year accused among other things of killing mr magnitsky yourself. and then we come to this meeting in helsinki between trump donald trump the u.s.

president and mr putin last year when putin said we'll give you the twelve indicted military intelligence officers indicted by special counsel robert mueller but what we want in return is you bill browder how did that make you feel well again i was i was actually in america at the time and it and donald trump's reaction to that was i think it's a brilliant idea so i of course i couldn't feel anything other than. a little uncomfortable but two things that made me feel first was that in america donald trump doesn't have his own personal rendition squad this that's to go through the department of justice in the courts and the united states the rule of law wouldn't have handed me over to the russians whatever donald trump's reaction was but again the fact that i'm living rent free in putin's head shows just how how effective

the magnitsky act has been that i would be the one thing he brings up at the summit and so from my perspective it only emboldened me to carry on and to push harder to get other countries do magnitsky and it was an extraordinary example was it of the state of modern politics and geopolitics his vladimir putin russian president all he's done in the last few years in ukraine and over the decried by obama in the obama administration donald trump willing to embrace them and willing to trade you . for secrets extraordinary well it was extraordinary what he was willing to do but it was also very comforting to see how the system rallied around to protect me and and the next day he didn't walk back his his agreement to this thing the next day after that he didn't. but then the senate of the u.s. senate then had a vote what would it be a good thing or a bad thing to hand me over and along with i should point out eleven others and and

they voted ninety eight to zero not to hand me over which shows that that whatever donald trump is thinking that's not a consensus opinion among his people or in america generally involved at the moment exclusively understand in following the money trail what happened to the missing millions from your fund in russia. in the process of that you know many people wonder what the basis of this relationship and trump and putin it isn't about money is it about favors have you in your following the trail discovered any secrets there well everybody asked me that because so for nine years we've been looking to who got the two hundred thirty million dollars of tax money that we paid that surrogate magnitsky discovered was stolen and went back to various corrupt officials we've we've traced out for nine years and we found all the money through law enforcement investigations the private investigations the whistleblowers and so far there has not been any money they went to donald trump having said that there's

a lot of money that went to vladimir putin ok will leaving the money to one side i mean youth in the inquiry in another respect in that in a secret meeting that took place in trump tower in mid two thousand and sixteen campaign time between trump officials and a senior russian lawyer. the key subject matter was you indeed has mr miller contacted you about that well i can't really talk about what mr miller has contacted me about or not but what i can say is that in on on june ninth two thousand and sixteen natalia vessel it's guy on a russian lawyer the lawyer involved in that meeting the lawyer involved that meeting who went to trump tower along with a couple of other russians and sat down with donald trump jr. and paul man of fort and this is this is now before donald trump just after he was nominated before he was elected president and they said. if your father talking to donald trump jr

donald trump is elected president can you repeal the magnitsky act and could you indict bill browder and. she wasn't there just as a private citizen she was there effectively on behalf of lattimer putin in the russian government and it's remarkable from him from almost every different standpoint that that the russian government would send an emissary to talk about me in the magnitsky act is remarkable that donald trump jr. his son his son in law and his campaign manager would meet with his russian to talk so is it possible do you think in the end that if collusion is proven that it may turn out that bill browder in the magnitsky magnitsky act with powerful motivators well we know for sure that the russians were there because of the me and the magnitsky act and we know for sure that they supported donald trump because they thought he would be more favorable about these issues than hillary clinton and we know for sure that they were willing to do things in order to make that happen what we don't know is

whether the donald with whether donald trump personally agreed to that and colluded all we know is what the russians intention was we don't know what donald trump's response was going back to the money trail. the basis of the act of course passed by barack obama or under the administration of two thousand and twelve how successful in practical terms has it be in the last six years in terms of strangling the funds of the oligarchs in terms of cooling human rights abuses to account well so extremely successful it's been a dramatic and sort of tectonic success and what why has it been so successful because because of the nature of russia so russia is a country where a thousand individuals have stolen all the money from the country literally a thousand individuals have stolen a trillion dollars over a twenty year period so they've stolen all this money and so that the other hundred

forty five million russians are in destitute poverty there's a thousand individuals and so. historically when you do sanctions you sanction a country and it's all very blunt in the average person it starves them and the elite they fly in their champagne and caviar in private jets but instead what the magnitsky act does and the successor sanctions rules have done which have all been copies of the magnitsky act is go after those thousand people and there's no if they're ready to kill for money there's nothing more painful for them to have their money frozen and it's and even if you haven't frozen their money just the the idea that their money could be frozen it is like a sort of sword of damocles hanging over their head and and and that's why putin is hates the magnitsky act so much is because he's a kleptocrat first and foremost i believe he's worth two hundred billion dollars i believe that he keeps that money in the name of other people offshore and and if that money is put at risk of being frozen and some of it has been frozen that

touches him. more than anything else that more than anything else the actors also had its powers expanded it's not just focused on russia. used recently against seventeen saudis believed responsible for the death of jamal khashoggi was that a victory for you to find that the act was now being broadened so that after the mosquitoes passed in two thousand and twelve budget senator john mccain and senator ben cardin they looked at putin's reaction which was hysteria here then he literally lost his cool and they said we're on to something big here. and there's no reason why a chinese villa in saudi villain or a venezuelan villain should be able to get a better deal than the russian villains and so they they created the global magnitsky act which passed unanimously in two thousand and sixteen which goes after

bad guys everywhere and and the united states government has been rolling it out. quietly and steadily across all different parts of the world and when jamal khashoggi was was brutally murdered i saw this and i thought this is like the textbook case for the magnitsky act he was a truth teller he was exposing corruption in his regime in the regime that he came for in the saudi regime and then they lured him to the saudi consulate in istanbul and extrajudicial he murdered him in the most gruesome and reflect way if there was no this was this was the textbook case for them and for the global magnitsky act and then they used it they used it on seventeen saudis and they didn't use it on mohamed bin solomon and i and i along with many members of congress think that that's that's really bad and expanded as well in recent months into the european union what what what do you foresee for its its use in the e.u. can you see it for instance begin to influence what appears to be the fairly

insidious and creeping russian influence in european political affairs i'm thinking of russian money allegedly used to prop up the. populist government in italy also suggestions of russian money being involved in breaks it. tell me about the european angle well so your key united states is the most powerful country in the world but if you get the united states doing saying sions and europe not then then these guys are all going to the south of france and buying villas on the hotel in front of the hotel du koppen in marbella in sardinia and so that so europe has to has to conform with the rest of the world in order for this to be an effective policy and europe up until now hasn't now in december we had a breakthrough in europe where they were finally after nine years of my campaigning they finally agreed. in principle to do it but it would ring in principle and

having a law there's a lot of dots to connect and the devil is in the details and the one thing i can say is that europe is where the russians are most active they find lots of corrupt politicians and officials in the united kingdom in italy and in spain everywhere and they corrupt them and so europe is very hard place to get this legislation passed they're fighting like hell behind the scenes right now to try to stop it and they've got countries like hungry in italy who are sort of at the moment sort of expressing objections. and even if it does get passed getting twenty eight countries to agree on who to sanction is a very hard thing to do but it is the big prize if we get europe then we got them where they're where it really hits them which is the bill was really all that kind of stuff let me ask you about surrogate magnitsky now he was your lawyer in russia

as you explained he died in. prison in two thousand and nine. and all of these global. acts of legislation are in his name do you feel responsible for his death well i feel extremely responsible for his death he wouldn't be dead he wouldn't have died he would've suffered some horrific torture if he hadn't been my lawyer they effectively tortured him and killed him as my proxy and and so he was a young truly amazing great man with two children great great life ahead of him and he was cut short in the most horrific way at the age of thirty seven and for me every day i feel terrible about that and and that's that is that feeling of guilt and that feeling of responsibility and that feeling of anger that drives me for nearly a decade to devote my entire life to getting justice for him well you've talked about revenge who at what point do you imagine you might feel

a vengeful well thought about revenge is about justice but you know just revenge revenge is something he has we're told it's part of justice it's that's what justice is you don't let people get away with with murder it's going well beyond sort of a maybe it's you know other many other victims come to me with their issues and their problems in that's it's become his legacy to to try to try to create a tool. a tool of fighting impunity in his name and so it's not just about justice or revenge or any of those things it's also about his legacy you talked about the thousand dollar gawks you talked about the trillions of the stole taking you back to your time of the beginning in russia as the soviet union fell you also made a fortune in a fund that was investing in the privatizations of the day taking advantage of century of the collapse of the soviet system isn't that exactly what they did

definitely not what they did so first of all what i did was i when when they pride . times the country had a stock market and i invested in the stock market and i vested in big companies in the stock market and what i did which is totally different than what they did was that the oligarchy and these corrupt officials were stealing from gas prom the biggest state company lukoil etc and i came up with an investment strategy which was to help to try to stop the stealing and to expose these guys as i was doing just the opposite which is they were stealing from the state from the people from their companies and i was researching how they were doing the stealing and then exposing the research the international media to get them to stop it which is how they which is why the regime turned on me and went after me in such a vicious and horrible way but isn't there a gap in timing here initially you made your money and then you. turned to criticizing know the regime initially you made your money in much the same way they

did by taking advantage of a collapsing system well they only similarity is that we were both investing in the system at the very same time the difference was that almost immediately after i started i started exposing corruption which is which is i think that anybody who knew me in russia at the time said that's what russia needs that's a very brave thing to do and it's a good thing for russia nobody said it's a bad thing to to to invest in companies and i was doing it for money i wasn't doing it for the goodness of the state but to invest in companies expose corruption and try to stop it that definition only is is a good thing well given what was going on at that time then it could have come as much of a surprise to you when the rug was pulled out from under your feet because it did happen to me a couple of the gox he's now a friend in our viewers here in london he stuck his nose into opposition politics he criticised the kremlin and he had his wings clipped as did all the others you

must've seen that and thought what if i carry on like this the same fate befalls me all or did you feel somehow sort of immune as a phone well that arrogance it was arrogance it was stupidity it was bad bad judgment. but it was also circumstance so for a while i could get away with doing it for a very weird reason which was that when vladimir putin came to power he he was he was really sort of powerless because the oligarchs were stealing power from him and so every time i was exposed one of these all of arcs he would come to my aid this is at the very beginning around the year two thousand he would come to my aid and and and there's this expression your enemy's enemy is your friend and so for a while i was on my side you know cleaning up russia the the problem was that he wasn't trying to get rid of the oligarchs he just wanted to become the biggest oligarchy itself and. effectively did that by arresting michael horta kosky the richest man in russia you put the richest man in russia in jail and you for any one

of the television cameras to film him sitting in a cage what's your natural reaction going to be as another all of our it is is you don't want to be in a cage and that was the moment that the oligarchs came to him and said what we have to do flatter me or to not sit in this cage and he said fifty percent and so at that moment then that was and late two thousand and three two going into two thousand and four that was the moment that vladimir putin. turned in turn into the biggest oligarchy and that was the moment that my activities became intolerable to you no longer useful to him and indeed i mentioned you arrest in madrid last year interpol warrants two convictions in a censure do you fear for your life well i i live in a very precarious position where any day i could be killed arrested illegally rendered back to russia but i don't spend my life living in fear because if i did that they would have already achieved ninety percent of their objective and so i

take precautions. when and how i can i know that probably all the precautions i take can't prevent the russians from killing me if they really want to kill me. and . i carry on doing what i'm doing i'm not going to i'm not going to stand down while you've chosen quite some place in which to do it london the u.k. a country in which twelve thirteen fourteen estimated russian critics have lost their lives have come to a sticky end in dubious circumstances in just recent years why here why are you in london why are you living such a public existence well as i said i'm not the person who's going to live in fear i'm not the person who's going to withdraw i'm not the person who's going to go into hiding my reaction is to go straight back at them and. i'm not going to change locations. and you know the fate may or may you know deal me a very ugly blow but but that's the decision i've taken well from from the

perspective of being in london. and in the context of the wider european question which we mentioned earlier why do you think these things keep happening in britain is it the case that britain is itself compromised in terms of its ability to deal with russia because of all the money parked here because of bragg's it because it can't in a sense afford to alienate countries like russia well what i've seen is that the british government on a regular basis doesn't create consequences for really horrific crimes committed by the russian government in this country i was in or living in co was murdered with radioactive polonium in two thousand and six and it was discovered that was the russian government who did this russian f.s.b. and there was no serious consequences just a few diplomats expelled alexander purple which me a whistleblower in our case was killed after jogging outside his home in surrey the

police didn't even invest. it is a murder. and then of course the script all poisoning where high grade military chemical weapons were used in in a cathedral town in the center of the u.k. and the only thing that happened was twenty three diplomats were expelled and those thirty three diplomatic slots are now being negotiated to be replaced so there's some pretty undiplomatic language passed between the two but the diplomatic language and words are cheap there is there was no consequences and so it's created an environment to allow this to happen and then the question is why and the answer is that this country is compromised because there is russian money that's polluted the political process here and i've seen it up close and personal where members of the british establishment in the british lawmaking bodies are taking money to support russians in the magnitsky case and other cases take lord barker. he's a member of the house of lords it's he's

a lawmaker and he's on the parent payroll of all leg pasta running around the world trying to reduce sanctions on him. why is that not illegal maybe it is illegal i don't know but that's outrageous and that's allowed to happen and nothing is nothing's being done about it you've described to me of putin not as a man of conviction or ideology but as a modern day public he. doesn't have he's not he's not like joseph stalin he's not doing all these crimes for some communist reason he's not he's not doing this for some religious reason he's doing this for money he's a kleptocrat all he cares about is money and staying alive but and that makes him much more similar to a public escobar than a joseph stalin or adult hitler and the problem is that you give pablo escobar. the powers of a sovereign state with military and intelligence services and nuclear weapons and

that's a streamlined scary combination well speaking of staying alive and we certainly hope you do do you feel that the efforts that you've put in place now. unstoppable even potentially come a day when you're not around to loping constantly in that cause the absolutely the the magnitsky act is now turned into a viral phenomenon it's jumping from country to country to country there's maybe it's the proposals all over the world in different parliaments and governments etc and of course i can help and i can stir up the pot make things happen but without my presence they would happen at the same time and in addition to that the the money laundering investigation the who got the two hundred thirty million dollars and sergei magnitsky was killed over has led to a massive international money laundering investigation which is snared danske a bank nor dia banks where bank credit suisse u.b.s. banks all over the world are sixteen countries with money laundering investigations going on as a result of the making its case in its march much much larger than just the two

a very different variation to the philosophy being told at the mob out tom on the street in insane township. these monks are connected with one of the world's worst humanitarian crisis. the systematic persecution and genocide the overhang of muslims in iraq and states. our unprecedented access to them about how monastery and cedars offers a glimpse into how their ultra nationalist agenda is becoming the blueprint for the political structure of the country. is the joining the forces between monks and generals threatening as young and fragile democracy. but in the summer the film is when. we do the.
