mr browder has been gathering information about me so who is william browder maybe not a familiar 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 in beslan it's seems quite convinced that browder has harbored a personal vendetta against her perhaps something to do with the facts 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 is owned by a russian businessman wrote a had 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 or mr browder and his team have been gathering information about

3:05 pm
try and do any or enters the picture and the big question for many is why does us the next guy was so keen to inform the trunk team about the millionaire or say well brought 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 for 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 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
3:06 pm
name rob goldstone when doro turn jr went public last week it included emails from the entertainment publicist and 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 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 that skier's possible ties to the kremlin. the prosecutor general's office of the russian federation deals with criminal cases that is the role defined by 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
3:07 pm
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 next door that let's put it this way i am ready to clarify the situation behind this mass hysteria but only through lawyers or testifying in the u.s. senate. here six scenes have been unfolding near the holy site of temple mount in jerusalem this is after israeli police moved in with stun grenades and water cannons to disperse hundreds of palestinians. who were. listing is gathered to pray near the holy. he cited a show of protest against a hike in security at the site when israeli troops moved in to confront bank crowds palestinians responded by throwing stones and setting tires on fire one of our

correspondents was caught up in that unrest tensions in the area have been running high all week. i i know. i know i was i was i was. i was i. think i. was a policeman was sick was the. deadly clashes erupted following the decision of the israeli government to implement extra
3:09 pm
security measures including the installation of metal detectors and that was after the killing of two border police officers in east jerusalem saturday night two palestinian teenagers were killed in clashes three others were killed in clashes the night before as were three israelis in a west bank stabbing. the sector general of the arab league has reacted to the new security measures with a statement that says israel is playing with fire and risking crisis with the arab world in a bid to impose a new reality on the holy site. temple mount or her life 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 and their likes a mosque which is also located there is alarms third holiest location double amounts of ministers by a jordan based islamic religious or thora thirty we heard polarized views on the ongoing conflict. well those metal detectors came as a result of
3:10 pm
a heinous murder on a holy spot these are not just metal detectors. one action out of money to change the already changed 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 offense which was horrible terrorism well first of all i don't know. 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 then we can have a dialogue and conversation you saw on t.v. how the israeli army is three think peaceful nonviolent people who are just praying there 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 target does this sort of are sort of out of
3:11 pm
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 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. new video has emerged from inside an iraqi prison near mosul that apparently shows inmates being held in tahlia conditions this video now shows almost four hundred prisoners who said to be held for months without trial but packed into dog rooms no ventilation.

3:17 pm
italy were at the port of could turn 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 an activist who is expecting the arrival of a very different kind of boat with a very controversial purpose. so somewhere around here or board will probably arrive by next week. when we cherish of course it 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 cold. sure is disliked by european fascists but we won't give up
3:18 pm
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 a situation where anybody's life is at risk so you're not attacking them i know we're not attacking migrants we're not going to attack the n.g.o.s we would 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
3:19 pm
concept what do you think of the n.g.o.s that are working in the mediterranean to help the migrants the moon is this the bit i don't like what they doing what if this is right twinning 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 is no illegal migration and to make sure that the ngos 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 migrants i mean they have to be out the make of. the sense that they say if they rescue migrants from the boat they will take them back to africa that this is. what going on how can someone who is live i mean the middle of militancy to them but to africa that's the thing i mean some people call them racists. do you agree with that. story there's already too many people here yet. so there's no
3:20 pm
room for everyone do you think that's racist i don't think so and i'm not against helping migrants but we should help them in their own countries 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 for still feeling the burden of the economic crisis and don't want migrants in their hometown all of them are in one same park not too long before right wing activists join the mob the club. could tiny. little his handling of the crisis has resulted in a giant unusual protest in a crop field near the city of rome no one that's pretty much best seen from the sky you can understand why now you can see here a picture of a boat with the word africa on it the words stop next to it that's
