among the stories that shapes the week carty spoke exclusively to the russian lawyer at the center of a media scandal over her meeting with donald trump jr last year. ok so in the last moment the situation has started unraveling if you kept. on going violent clashes between israeli police and muslim worshipers continued to rock jerusalem after the israeli government rolls out extra security at the revered mosque. elsewhere a journalist is caught up in a gun battle in the iraqi city of mosul that despite the fact the city was declared free of islamic state earlier this week. and flexing

their wings for the final time the mancs international shows wrapped up just outside moscow we take a look at the highlights of the year's event. you're watching the week here on r.t. . this week r.t. spoke exclusively to the russian lawyer at the center of a scandal over her meeting with president trump's eldest son of last year's u.s. election the latest in a range of stories claiming direct collusion between the kremlin and team trump in order to get him into the white house we got the lawyers side of the story. we all know her name now television star the telly official natalia vessel needs sky natalia the sound this guy of the new talia vessel in its. wake up one morning and

find you are the focus of the all the fire and kin stream media it. turns out it was nothing we managed to try and 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 trying collusion scandal. 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 not a familiar name for most but for storage he's 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 to have accused the company of money laundering. the case was finally settled in may this year with no admission of guilt by a purpose on you for 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 act named after a russian lawyer who was once employed by brown as company in russia he was later arrested in connection with a tux 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 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 military 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 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. 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 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 he did but that necessarily 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 it 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 is no me and the prosecutor general where are my and where is the prosecutor general. now estimates 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 a supreme court of in violence following the tightening of security and mosque part of the temple mount holy site this is after the killing of two border police officers last week or these poor slivers 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 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 earlier 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 up 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 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. been unfolding over the past several days here's a look back at just some of the unrest. i . knew.

i . was. i was i. was. i. was a little. bit. we can see now some of the new security precautions that were installed by israel a number of people have lost their lives in the turmoil on saturday night two palestinian teenagers were killed in violence three others were killed in clashes the night before as indeed were three israelis in a west bank stabbing the secretary general of the arab league has reacted to the

new security measures with a statement that says israel's playing with fire and risking a crisis with the arab world in a bid to impose a new reality on the holy city temple mount or. is this known to muslims as one of the most contested religious sites in the world the jews it's believed to have been the size of two biblical temples and they are like some mosque which is also located there is lands third holy site temple mount said ministered by a jordan based islamic religious or thora tick we heard polarized views 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 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 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 sob 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 the thing 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 doctors they shot us 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 where we

are we can achieve peace. correspondent from russia sputnik news agency has been caught up in a gun battle in the iraqi city of mosul she managed to come through unscathed and she had video with us. this. little boy. if you saw in the reading was working on the ground when the shooting started she managed to call the iraqi soldiers for help and also assisted in rescuing the servicemen it was a scorching her was wounded in shooting earlier this week iraqi officials proclaimed victory over eisel in mosul we had the chance to speak to star. in war. or. a ground war. one on

one. morning i didn't reply but. earlier in the week a new video emerged from inside an iraqi prison near mosul apparently showing inmates they're being held in dire conditions the video shows almost four hundred prisoners who are said to have been held for months without trial packed into dark cramped rooms without ventilation with temperatures outside reaching forty five degrees celcius guards at the prison say that people are forming ill due to a lack of hygiene and daylight inmates are suspected of links to i solve some of them claim to have no idea why they're actually being held. they said my name was in their database i haven't seen any court or judge i don't even know what i'm accused of a lot of names are the same since i got here eight months ago i've only seen the

son once we really want to die none of us have received any visitors or relatives or family members they don't even know where we are recent months rights groups of repeatedly called on the iraqi government to investigate those claims we raise the issue with human rights watch. human rights watch 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 isis affiliation and how basic rights and you have to imagine i mean these images only give you a small snapshot. we've raised these allegations with the

iraqi authorities we've raised these allegations with the coalition fortunately i have not seen anything to suggest that they are urgently investigating nor are closed investigations actually holding any commanders accountable unfortunately this is an old story in iraq where for years we've been documenting the most serious abuses and the government made pronounced that they will investigate but to date we have not seen a single investigation leading to results and accountability. russia could force the united states out of syria that's according to a top u.s. general will bring you details of that story after the short break.

they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so what you want to express. that you'd like to be this is what the four korean people. interested always in the water.

welcome back one of america's most senior generals has admitted the u.s. presence in syria has little legitimacy saying that if russia called attention to the issue washington could be obliged to leave the country here's the conundrum we are operating in the sovereign country of syria. the russians there are there are there are stalwarts there are back stoppers have already uninvited the turks from syria were a bad day away from the russians saying why are you still in syria the u.s. and its it is come up in the form of some some close calls there and the general there also confirmed washington sending a covert cia train and assist program for so-called moderate rebels in syria and the moves generated plenty of media attention and media outlets are presenting the reported move as a victory for vladimir putin they suggest that trump has capitulated on a key u.s.

foreign policy goal in order to try and improve relations with russia. and the cia program was launched by king twenty thirteen that was under the obama administration is provided training for commanders from the free syrian army bases in jordan and supplied opposition groups with weapons and equipment the scheme reportedly cost the massive billion dollars a year. it's not even though without its critics in twenty fifteen for example overall spending on the program was scaled back further claims of its ineffectiveness and in twenty sixteen clashes between two different rebel groups one on by the cia one by the pentagon based further questions are also concerns after reports emerged that some of the weapons intended for syria were repeatedly stolen by jordanian intelligence agents and resold on the black market a former u.k. ambassador to syria told us the significance of the decision to end the program is being overblown. it is hysterical and quite simply if you can

put rusher in a headline in the mainstream media in the west that that makes a good news in truth being and saleable it is not based on any objective reality. in this case. what may turn out to be quite moderate in election of american policy long overdue supported by those who are with all of the state. and the national security agency. trump getting could so i doing something with you. that will just be called a line through vision a little bit closer with russia. when they turn cease fire many of us would think no doubt of conflict zones in the middle east people in the u.s. city of baltimore that's just fifty kilometers from the capital a calling for

a truce they're fed up with the skyrocketing level of gun violence in that city. it's a war zone or this is a war torn city. most of us. have a lot of somebody. we. meet every single day. but. most people between the age of one the seven deadly have p.t.s.d. which of course from the shootings from the teddy bears on the wall from people getting shot in broad daylight before your eyes walking over glass walking over bodies and things like. cease fire going to stand because

a school. with offices as teachers we don't. recruit will says to you if the cadet is interested in going in the military but we don't recruit ourselves. the pentagon is funding a program to boost interest in the military among teenagers. to step up to an apollo so that comfortable with yourself. you can't go wrong with the military it's a great stepping stone for whatever you want to do but some veterans are willing to tell enthusiastic children a little more they ask me call of duty is a very popular first year video game. it's play and that's because the military like call of duty to turn off call of duty oh yeah or you can turn off your lot of these kids just don't hear. the darker side does the pentagon allow them to be told or does it just need more recruits. they all.

a lot of. the russians have long taken americans more seriously. that is until the russia gave the american obsession a. policy paralysis dismayed many. washington in a way read listen before as lacking in confidence to pull itself together how accurate is this impression that i'm now joined by matthew craning a senior fellow at the atlantic. mr craning it's great to have you on the show thank you very much for joining us thank you for having me on it's a pleasure to be here well it may be a pleasure for you to be here but are you sure that the. you are not going to fall

under suspicion of colluding with the adversary because of appearing on r t no i'm not worried about that i think it's important for americans and russians to have a dialogue to important countries and we need to do a better job of understanding each other i absolutely agree with you but do you know that if you're if you read the publicly available parts of the u.s. intelligence report on russia suppose that interference into american elections you would know. the national weather service in mount holly new jersey has issued a flash flood for cecil county in northeastern maryland until ten thirty pm at six twenty three pm doppler radar indicated sunder storms producing heavy rain moving in to cecil county from the west up to two inches of rain have already fallen
