order to get him into the white house we got the lawyers side of the story. we all know her name now a television star telly official natalia vessel needs sky natalia the sound this guy of natalia vessel in its. wake up one morning and find you are the focus of the all the fire and stream media it. turns out it was nothing we managed to track down the elusive natalia vest on it's a woman who has almost become a household name in recent weeks also off to her meeting with donald trump jr last year and which she said she wanted to discuss the reputation of one particular man and his association with the magnitsky along with his past time of lobbying for u.s. sanctions on russian individuals this person who she says has most of mine did this
8:03 am
latest russia trying to collusion scandal. with today i have to think about my safety first and foremost about the safety of my family my four children it's been revealed that mr browder has been gathering information about me so who is william browder maybe north of the million name for most but for thirty years in russia he's a wanted man quite literally he's wanted for tax fraud on top of this leaked us state department e-mails reveal that brown it was actively gathering information about the vessel and its guy ahead of when this scandal broke and that included personal details such as where she lives so given this information vessel it's seems quite convinced that browder has harbored a personal vendetta against her perhaps something to do with the thoughts that he once lost a case in court to her now this was a two thousand and thirteen case in which a vessel in its guard represented the cyberspace company previn's on holding which
8:04 am
is owned by a russian businessman wrote to have accused the company of money laundering. the case was finally settled in may this year with no admission of guilt by a preface on you war mr browder and his team have been gathering information about my family to try to find out whether i'm married or not whether i have children or not they found photos of my house and sent them to car park or he's a famous man in the house of representatives they shared all these details with people from the state department i don't know why he's doing this i can only make assumptions here i see today's situation has been heating up for ten days or so as a very well orchestrated story concocted by one particular manipulator and that is mr brown. and i what is best known for is his role in the magnitsky act this is an x. named asta a russian lawyer who was once employed by a ground us company in russia he was later arrested in connection with a tax fraud case and he died was being held in detention browder later played
8:05 am
a major role in law being for a set of sanctions to be imposed by the us on the number of russian individuals over magnitsky death and brought it claims he knew magnitsky personally but according to vesa lipsky this couldn't be further from the truth and this is where i don't try and do nia enters the picture and the big question for many is why does the next guy was so keen to inform the trunk team about the many hours say with brown his reputation. this was the story that i brought to donald trump jr i wanted him to know that browder a person who gave up his us citizenship is trying to manipulate people in congress and now we even know their names the media have disclosed them he was making all those connections even though he hadn't lived in the country for twenty years was not paying any taxes not doing anything he was full in fact his only mission was to go after his opponents while gaining some political capital it was nothing but retaliation from this man who did this in order to distract everyone with the big
8:06 am
story. so can you refute this information. from the e-mails released by donald trump jr where goldstone. i don't know that person and now we come to the name rob goldstone when don't turn jr went public last week it included emails from the entertainment publicist in which he claims to have information on hillary clinton which quote would incriminate hillary and her dealings with russia and would be very useful for donald trump's campaign he did but that apparently this guy is just a music producer my guess is that this man is used to selling and promoting ideas some product so he decided that i would be this product for sale and promotion. and it was also within the goldstone e-mails that the mention of russia's prosecutor general came up leading to questions of a vessel in its skies possible ties to the kremlin. the prosecutor general's office of the russian federation deals with criminal cases that is the role defined by
8:07 am
federal law and the constitution there's no me and the prosecutor general where are mine where is the prosecutor general. now that's on its guy or woman unwillingly thrust into the spotlight is having serious concerns for her safety especially considering how she has a family and four children who are now also vulnerable to media focus but despite this she is by no means running away from the attention and says she is more than ready to testify in congress to the senate. let's put it this way i'm ready to clarify the situation behind this mass hysteria but only through lawyers or testifying in the u.s. senate. there have been chaotic scenes near the holy site of the temple mount in jerusalem that's after israeli police moved in with tear gas stun grenades and water cannon to disperse hundreds of palestinians.
8:08 am
but the. palestinians gathered to pray near the holy site in a show of protest against a hike in security at the site when israeli troops moved in to confront the crowd on the stimulus responded by throwing stones and setting tires on fire tension in the area have been running high one week. i i was . i think it. was. i think. i was a little more than it was back up to zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero
8:09 am
zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero. zero zero zero deadly clashes erupted following the decision of the israeli government to implement extra security measures to prevent terror attacks the hike in security at the al aqsa mosque which includes metal detectors came after two border police officers were killed in an attack in east jerusalem the subsequent protests around the holy site of temple mount resulted in repeated confrontations with israeli police. the temple mount or harm as it is known to muslims is one of the most contested religious sites in the world for jews it's believed to have been the site of two biblical temples on the al aksa mosque which is also located there is islam is third holiest site the temple mount is administered by jordan based islamic religious authority. well those metal detectors came as a result of a heinous murder on a holy spot these are not just metal detectors is. an action out of money to
8:10 am
change the already changed state to school a heinous murder takes place then security measures are brought in and then israel is blamed for taking the security measures it's a reaction to the first event which was horrible terrorism well first of all our dog. if the public knows the people who committed the attacks were israeli citizens by the way people have to accept the fact that israel is the sovereign that jerusalem is our capital city and that the temple mount is the heart of our heart you accept those things and we can have a dialogue and conversation you saw on t.v. how the israeli army is do you think peaceful nonviolent people who are just praying their attack that i was myself injured two days ago by the israeli army when i was just all i did i wanted to pray in their dark does this sort of are sort of out of bullets and injured us i think the best alternative would be for jihadists to calm down or to be defeated and for there to be equal access to the
8:11 am
site for all religions including jews cooperate with the palestinians remove the cause of all conflicts which israeli occupation and stop israeli aggression on palestinians this where we are we can achieve peace. the migrant crisis has continued to weigh heavy on european countries this week it is bearing the brunt of refugees trying to reach the continent almost one hundred files and have arrived by sea this year alone and that number is expected to double bind. however a group defending europe is trying to stem the flow now the group is citing a ship in the region in a bid to turn back migrant boats coming from africa it's bankrolling the mission with more than one hundred twenty six thousand dollars raised through crowd funding . to over watch. it installed diligent about to do it and you were trying to make sure it will see when you get the press less signal to the west
8:12 am
or to people in distress to make sure that they would be brought back to libya. the vessel will be based in this is silly and port of katana and it will be patrolling the mediterranean off the coast of libya the mission says it wants to expose humanitarian groups that it claims are working directly with people smugglers but katanas mat has branded the defend europe initiative a provocation. trying to challenge one of the group's members reaction from tollens . we're at the port of in sicily among the ships that come into the sport you will every now and then see boats full of migrants but we are here to talk to
8:13 am
an activist who is expecting the arrival of a very different kind of boat with a very controversial purpose. so somewhere around here will probably arrive by next week. what we cherish of course is a cultural identity are you a racist or an extremist organization your final purpose is what. we want to ensure that europe stays in europe this is what some people call racism . i think the european union should feel ashamed now they want to use sicily as a rallying point for disgusting racism that does not belong to our culture i know that our welcoming culture is disliked by european sashes but we won't give up we are not going to be silent in the face of this call to violence against desperate human beings these peoples need to buy history books we're not trying to provoke
8:14 am
a situation where anybody's life is at risk so you're not attacking them i know we're not attacking the migrants we're not going to attack the n.g.o.s we will just try to document what they're doing and we want to make sure that these n.g.o.s are not working as some kind of proxy for the human traffickers what happens if you see that someone's life is in danger we will also come and rescue them and what are you going to do when a refugee on your boat well we will try to bring them to africa again. people of sicily have gotten used to migrants to the many n.g.o.s that have come here to help but an anti migrant angio patrolling the mediterranean that is something most people here have never heard of so let's ask the locals about the cause. and so what do you think of the n.g.o.s that are working in the mediterranean to help the migrants the moon as they see the bits and i don't like
8:15 am
doing what if this is right twinging and geo both doesn't sound good this is the boat. the right wing activists will be on this boat they will be patrolling the mediterranean to make sure that there's no illegal migration and to make sure that the n.g.o.s don't break the laws what do you think about that good job like that it's good and the opinion of the migrants. they don't want migrants here i mean. if they don't one my guns i mean they have to be out the make of. these instability in libya they say if they rescue migrants from the boats they will take them back to africa that this is. what they want how can someone just live i mean up in the middle of militancy you know take them back to africa that's not fair i mean some people call them racists do you agree with that there's no racist but story there's already too many people here yet no jobs so there's no room for everyone or do you think that's racist i don't think so and i'm not against helping migrants but we
8:16 am
should help them in their own country so here's a scene that seems to have become typical for sicily we've got a park where we can see the migrants then and geo group to help them and also there are locals who are still feeling the burden of the economic crisis and don't want migrants in their hometown and all of them are in one same part not too long before right wing activists join the club believe the trend toward tea could. meanwhile increase refugees have how angry demonstrations over what they say is delays in moving them to of a policy. the days of left thousands separated from their families and stranded in greece divisions between different ethnic groups have also been emerging in the
8:17 am
overcrowded camps. the reading. problem which is. just waiting for the decisions. african people sometimes if they are just so start by saying they want to get their ride spidey their hand employ some of. us a little bit consider some syrian people they can get us sign him quickly it's also
8:18 am
not true it would be. the only party spots of. people coming from africa feeling neglected when they are arrived suddenly they faced the. different treatment because of their skin and skin color or because of different other variables when you feel that not receiving your interview in a couple of months but in four five six months you're seeing that there's a longer rejection rate for your community or for the group of people you are from your attention and your frustration raises. you can see behind me the live pictures of the max international and show and it's just wrapping up now outside of moscow and we'll be bringing you more live pictures of the event after this break.
8:19 am
it's called the feeling of freedom and. everyone in the world should experience freedom and you can get it on the old the old. the old according to just. welcome to my world come along for the ride. you can revolt against the dictator but what about the day after i think we as libyan people did not give much fall. and so the weight of the resolution does not build nations. and certainly does not build
8:20 am
states. welcome back to new footage has emerged from inside an iraqi prison near mosul apparently showing people with supposedly was to i saw being held in diet conditions. from human rights watch told us what she saw on a visit to the site i went into one cell four by six meters one hundred fourteen men that had been there for four months and the windows had been bricked up the stench was was immense we men not being allowed to shower no bathrooms besides one toilet in the room really horrific conditions this video shows almost four hundred inmates who have been held for months without trial packed into dark rooms with no electricity or ventilation in baking hot conditions as temperatures outside reach forty five degrees celsius gods of the prison people are falling into a lack of hygiene and daylight. human rights watch
8:21 am
visited these very same prisons in february and released a report where we documented in detail the horrific in-q inhumane conditions in which these men are being held there were rampant problems of the ill treatment and in fact there were multiple men that are dying in detention because of the sanitary and hygiene conditions in those facilities you know prisoner is whether or not they're being charged with ice is affiliation and how basic rights and you have to imagine i mean these images is only give you a small snapshot. we've raised these allegations with the iraqi authorities we've raised these allegations with the coalition and fortunately i have not seen anything to suggest that they are urgently investigating nor post
8:22 am
investigations actually holding any commanders accountable unfortunately this is an old story in iraq where for years we've been documenting the more serious abuses and the government made pronounced that they will investigate but to date we have not seen as a single investigation leading to results and accountability. that of france's armed forces has quit after clashing with president micron over planned military cuts in the circumstances i see myself as no longer able to go and see the robust defense force i believe is necessary to go and see the protection of france and the french people are there for see my responsibilities by presenting my resignation today so the president of the republic who has accepted it the departure of the country's most senior soldier comes after precedented or our last week between the two men with the general blasting multi-million euro defense budget cuts i can apply that he will not tolerate dissent from the military. if you think you should
8:23 am

8:24 am
hair our live pictures that you can see right behind me is the final day of the mikes international asho which is taking place just outside moscow and on sunday more than twenty five displays are being staged by a large right of a cross yeah show's been running all week and on saturday alone hundred seventy three thousand people attended it wasn't the only chance for them to see some spectacular playing tricks in the sky but also to get up close and personal with some of the very latest in aviation technology which is exactly what all t's kate partridge has been doing. if you get here above me that is it makes thirty five fighter jets just to prove that we really are here and also it's just behind me as well that makes thirty five because what we got to be talking about today is all seeing is military and to join me to talk about what makes that plane so unique is douglas barry he was an expert when it comes to military avionics thank you very much indeed for joining me thank you so let's just
8:25 am
very briefly talk about this particular plane what is it about the make thirty five that makes it so unique thirty five is probably the last iteration of a very famous fighter family of mccoy doing fulcrum family the thirty five is an upgrade in terms of engines avionics radar and weapons systems so this may move mean that the aircraft is in service but also do you. what is it about this particular show the issue that's really impressed you what stood out for you. from your two things one just continues to develop is know your capabilities secondly the chinese in the arena and presence they're both here in significantly more numbers and showing more equipment new level we've ever seen before and i might see a show this also before we go let's have a quick reminder of all the aerobatics the specially strikes and everything else that happened here at mike's. we've seen some amazing planes and because the flying the sky there it's amazing
8:26 am
really good so you take this for instance this is trace and it can fly they can also drive and they can spray. another thing that i've seen here is a flying taxi just like those from back to the future goes. on we don't need a road. and i had a sweetie experience. so what it feels like to operate one of those cars so what is he not he's the smolder yeah i'm calm but he's basically the house sort of problems that make the operator to get around you've got this big car that looks a bit like the batmobile i spoke to one of the men behind this project and he says it's only a couple of years to go before we'll all be able to enjoy the ride oh we're trying
8:27 am
to turn to go to dulles or just to look up your mobile app and you will come over and probably book the movie for the for the there talks and to pick you up and really go into those things you think you very much indeed will they are no ladies and gentlemen we feel as though that it was back to the future but the future perhaps just so far away these are twenty twenty and if you want to get a feel of what it's like to be piloting one of those planes do check out three sixty degree video on you tube they stay with us. in case you're new to the game this is how it works now the economy is built around corporations corporations run washington the washington post media the media and. voters elected to businessman to run this country business equals power boom bust it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before
8:28 am
. but don't walk selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles they're going. to do socks for the tell you that every gossip and tabloid lifestyle for years to get. off the bad guys and tell you that you are not cool enough to buy their product. all the hawks that we along with all the one. it is one of the basic instruments to drive an economy but it can also lead to tragedy i did it i took the how to style game and that the death star game and it was. many lives have been broken by excessive debt and the banks got. big bankers got big.
8:29 am
banks but i just didn't think of the. creditors people see no future bad face for how you know you become ill into a job your relationship breaks down you become a casualty is a lifelong trap or is there a way out of those actually trying to cover an old marco to ditch bill for. a few more. this is where they pierced america's heart on the eleventh of september two thousand and one fifteen years after the attacks new york is celebrating its heroes the military. parade to on a one point five million troops the saviors of freedom every eleventh of may.
