5:02 pm
to sell this guy a new tallia 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 its guy a woman who has almost become a household name in recent weeks was 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 latest russia trunk collusion scandal. with today i have to think about my safety
5:03 pm
first and foremost about the safety of my family my four children up at the it's been revealed that mr prouder has been gathering information about me so who is william browder maybe not a familiar name for most but for thirty's in russia he's a wanted man quite literally he's wanted for tax fraud on top of this leaked us state department emails reveal that brown who was actively gathering information about wrestling at sky ahead of when this scandal broke and that included personal details such as where she lives so given this information beslan it sky 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 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 to have accused the company of money laundering. the case was finally settled in may this year with no admission of guilt by
5:04 pm
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 parker 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 brown as 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 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 brought it claims he knew magnitsky personally but according
5:05 pm
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 us the next guy was so keen to inform the trunk team about the millionaire or say well brought his reputation to flip the story if this was the story that i brought to donald trump jr i wanted him to know that browder a person who gave up his u.s. 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 story. that's. so can you refute this information. from the e-mails released by donald trump jr where goldstone. i
5:06 pm
don't know that person and now we come to the name rob goldstone when doro 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 put that wish to disparage leave 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 but he did not say that the prosecutor general's office of the russian federation deals with criminal cases that is the role defined by federal law and the constitution says if there's no me and the prosecutor general where are mine where is the prosecutor general. now
5:07 pm
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 but he states 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. jerusalem has been caught up in violence following the tightening of security at our mosque part of the holy site so after the killing of two border police officers last week paula slayer was been following the latest clashes. so in the last moment the situation has started unraveling and you can hear behind me stun grenades as the soldiers have started making their way out the youngsters
5:08 pm
were running the situation was calm but then just in a moment it exploded the evening prayers have just finished and there were thousands of palestinians who came here to pray and as you can see to protest now the. latest measure that israel has introduced. and which are essentially hand detectors and. cameras is being rejected by palestinians they say that this doesn't do anything to try and alleviate the situation only i israel introduced metal detectors and this is trying to meet them halfway but as i say the palestinians say it's not working now we'll keep making our way up the road to try and get a little bit closer so you can see where the the soldiers are what's happening right now is stun grenades are being thrown into trying to spruce the crowd to get further up the street and further away from these entrances to x. a mosque the situation is extremely volatile this is one of the worst flare ups of
5:09 pm
violence that has happened in in years and the united nations security council is meeting on monday to try and deal with the situation so here you can see these soldiers are making their way back towards us it might just have been an attempt to try and push youngsters that were provoking them further up the street who further away but there is a very very heavy security presence here outside jerusalem tonight and if we just watch three soldiers they are not taking any kind of nonsense so a very firm hand a very heavy hand by israel as a way of saying well we are going to deal with this situation and we're going to bring it under control policy antti to resume. the clashes in jerusalem. unfolding over the past several days here's a look back at some of the unrest. i i i i. i i
5:10 pm

a west bank stabbing. but the secretary general of the arab league has reacted to the new security measures with a statement saying israel is playing with fire and risking a crisis with the arab world in a bid to impose a new reality on the holy city. simple mountain of his is known to muslims as 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 there are mosque which is also located there is the arms third holiest site temple mount administered by a jordan based islamic religious orthorexic we heard polarized fuse on the ongoing conflict. well those metal detectors came as a result of 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
5:12 pm
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 that the people who committed the attacks were israeli citizens by the way people have to accept the fact that israel is the size of 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 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 attack 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 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
