this is d.w. news now i go from bad to a flamboyant for much younger guys it goes on trial on charges of obstructing justice or just an was investigated a probe into russian meddling in the 2016 u.s. election the self-proclaimed dirty tricks claims the case against him is politically motivated also coming up bringing back bad memories 30 years after the fall of the valley when we hear the stories of 2 friends who were spied on by the east german secret police. and

a new blood test that may be able to detect breast cancer that years before patients begin showing any symptoms. i'm an entree glad you could join me a republican strategist and former advisor to u.s. president donald trump has gone on trial in washington accused of obstructing justice or just stirring was investigated as part of the special counsel probe into russian meddling in the 2016 u.s. election the case coincides with the impeachment inquiry against president in the house of representatives. like few other political operatives in u.s. history roger stone revels in attention whether it's good or bad. guy going to go with her wrong.

a veteran republican strategist whose career goes back more than 40 years roger stone counts former u.s. presidents ronald reagan and richard nixon among his clients his affinity for nixon apparently strong enough for him to get this permanent reminder his ties with donald trump also go back decades in the eighty's stone turned trump the entrepreneur into a major donor for reagan's campaign and saw in him a potential contender for the white house. i have great affection for trump and the trump family i have wanted him to run for president since writing ideas but while dirty tricks and prince of darkness are among the kind of names his critics used to describe him stowe now faces a new one convicted felon indicted by special counsel robert muller who was investigating russian interference in the 2016 campaign stone was charged on

several counts. oh the central question did stone want to call off the trump campaign that the wiki leaks website was about to publish hacked e-mails supplied by russian spies as part of a coordinated campaign to sink trump's democratic rival hillary clinton i will plead not guilty to abuse charges i will defeat them or i believe this is a politically motivated investigation of the ruling class is found guilty of political provocateurs could now face jail in the style this high profile trial is set to test roger stone's long held theory that any publicist is good publicity. well for more let's bring in correspondent all of us out it in washington all of a walk us through the main charges against roger stone in more detail. well hello this is a comeback of the findings of the mahler investigation to some extent that led to

criminal charges against several trump advisers and campaign aides and now roger stone of course being one of them and the central question of this trial is of roger stone exploited these in famous e-mails hacked from hillary clinton for a political gain of the trump complained in the 2016 elections and roger stone testified before congress of all this in the allegation made against him is that he lied of all the trump campaign's effort to obtain these e-mails and now he's sued for 5 columns of making false statements of congress one count of witness tampering he allegedly tried to persuade. another witness. to falsely testify before congress and there's also one count of obstruction of justice all right will soon as we know has pleaded not guilty but of course that's for the jury to decide if they find him guilty what sentence could he face right

so the roger stone is just the 2nd one to plead not guilty by the way those indicted by mahler he calls it a politically motivated investigation as we've heard in the report so that's the typical trump rhetoric here if he's found guilty on all charges he could face up to 50 years in prison earlier this year the former campaign manager of the trunk campaign polenta ford faced similar charges but he pleaded guilty in contrast was convicted only to 7 and a half years in jail so it'll be interesting to follow and see how this turns out for roger stone now wrote just. i guess a flash of public drama he's described himself as a dirty trick or in the past any signs of that flamboyance in his testimony so far . all right he's a very colorful figure there is one story where roger stone defense team wanted to play a clip of a movie the godfather part 2 of course that led to a back and forth tussling with the prosecutors 3 stone essentially wants to make

the case that in a text message she sent to a witness he made reference to a character off that film so trying to defend himself by showing film clips which of course is quite unusual in the end he was not allowed to show the film clip only to hand the transcript to the grand jury another story is that he was banned from posting anything on social media while his case is pending because he didn't comply with a court order to not post of all that case and the russian investigation earlier so you can see is very contest of color fully discredits the court also has been close friends with president trying for about 40 years and that all certainly sheds a certain light on the president as well all right on a sonnet in washington thank you on the phone has taken it now at some of the other stories making news around the world yemen's saudi backed government has signed a power sharing deal with a separatist group that is backed by the united arab emirates the group known as
