years after russia was accused of interfering widely in the 26 election will my kind of joins us live now from washington d.c. mike so a change by the administration in the procedure for election security briefings to congress what's the background to this and why now. well the office of the director of national intelligence was shaped tool to brief congress in the middle of next month's election security particularly with regard to. an interference in the american electoral process now john ratcliffe the director has written a letter to congress saying that this briefing will no longer be in person that the relevant committees in congress will be provided with a written briefing now in his letter he indicates the reason for this is because of certain leaks out of congress now this has been rammed home by the president himself who says that the director john ratcliffe got annoyed at the degree of
3:11 am
leaks and president trump goes on and names the chair of the intelligence committee in the house adam schiff as one of those who could be responsible for such leaks is what president trump said. of broad information into the committee and the information leaked where there were 50 here for somebody else. they leaked the information before it gets in and worse even worse they leak the wrong information and he got tired of it so he wanted to do it in a different form because you have leakers on the committee. obviously leakers that are doing bad things probably not even legal to link. now it must be john ratcliffe before his appointment was a staunch defender of president trump particularly during the impeachment process he also in the past has denied any russian involvement in the us electoral process
3:12 am
this despite such a warning being given by the senate committee on intelligence recently by the director of counter intelligence and of course democrats in the house are absolutely enraged nancy pelosi and the chair of the intelligence committee adam schiff released a statement describing this as a betrayal of the american people saying that there is political intention at work here to minimize the russian interference that the according to the country intelligence department is ongoing and is aimed at bolstering president trumps chances of reelection so some members of congress absolutely intent on seeking avenues to force the director of national intelligence to come and brief the members of congress in person are my kind of in washington d.c. mike thank you. turkey's foreign minister is warning greece that its plans to extend territorial waters into the aegean sea could lead to war he also announced 2

3:14 am
a situation where you have 2 countries backed by different regional and international of european powers it's all about the exploration of gas it's all about where our lines stop in the sea but you've got an area that is so populated by islands for example the greek island of kos the lauded saw is only around you know 10 minutes by ferry from the turkish coast so it just shows you how complicated the situation is and even longstanding disputes with cyprus are coming into this and inflaming it in terms of who gets access to what gas so certainly turkey yes particularly europe being accused of being provocative but the message here from from ankara is that they're doing what's right that they're being unfairly treated or jones or openness is just outside athens he says the current tensions have spilled over from a long running dispute in the aegean sea. the escalation of these incursions by turkish forces has been very precipitous in the last 2 years they've risen from mere dozens before 2009 to hundreds since then and now well into
