there should. be zero proves the use of u.s. attack drones paving the way for further troop deployments in the west african nation. president trump insists there was no collusion between his team and moscow after a former aide pleads guilty to lying to the f.b.i. . in april an art exhibition on of martyrdom gets mixed reactions as it displays martin luther king jr alongside the terrorists. are broadcasting lot of direct from our studios in moscow this is arts international and john thomas glad to have you with us and the government of news has given the u.s. permission to use drones in anti terror operations in the west african country that

is according to pentagon and state department officials. as a stark choice. drones one of america's best loved warfare tactics is reportedly coming to africa's west coast. a potential new pin on the u.s. bombing map as washington pushes ahead with its anti extremist campaign on the continent a leaked memo outlines the units and bolts of the deal between the pentagon and news you're calling for arming of the surveillance drones operating from a local base also an additional troops deployment this operation supports the long term strategic partnership between the united states in nigeria as well as the ongoing if it to counter violent extremism throughout the region all in the name of the war on terror since nine eleven the pentagon has been hell bent on dropping bombs from huey's on afghanistan yemen pakistan somalia the line up goes on really

but for civilians in those countries a distant buzz up in the sky can be a death warrant in fact a u.s. drones have slaughtered someone and a half thousand civilians according to an estimate by the bureau of investigative journalism and the figure shouldn't really come as much of a surprise to anyone who's seen what has been among the drone star gets. the same unit which would be in charge of new drone operations is standing accused of killing ten civilians in somalia this summer something the u.s. africa command has denied now that the u.s. is apparently planning to open a new front in its drone war this could also mean more work for the pentagon's

p.i.r. machine you've done of our. in october the death of four u.s. soldiers in an ambush revealed america's military presence in the country until that point even senior u.s. politicians had no knowledge of the campaign american troops were deployed under the obama administration to help local forces find terrorist cells african affairs analyst lawrence freeman told us the u.s. presence in the country is likely to expand. probably less than a thousand troops in this year and this will now think of the increase that over a thousand this is the first time now that armed drones will be flying so this is a big problem for the new year government and for west africa and for all the africa. is now allowing united states to carry out these kinds of military attacks. you will not work it's not going to be successful without

a larger strategic picture and the african countries now are being pressured by the west in the trump ministration to allow these armed drones and other military build up and i'm sure it's going to cause the many many internal problems and it will not solve the problem of terrorism. there have been fierce clashes in the german city of over a crowd of anti-racism activists tried to disrupt a congress of the alternative for germany party known as it known for its anti immigration stance. ah up a. police

fired water cannons on the activists as they staged a sit in outside the congress venue several people were injured the alternative for germany party known as. has risen to prominence since the start of the migrant crisis the party won seats in parliament for the first time calling september's election. saying within germany now a burly an art exhibition devoted to the history of martyrdom has sparked controversy and his brother has a story. an exhibition called maltese museum has just opened in the german capital alongside socrates and mostly seeking junior it places those that flew planes into the world trade center at the attack is of the but cyclone theater the suicide bomber that killed forty people on the moscow metro saying that they are all examples of people that gave their lives for what they believed in it's all part of a festival of knowle the new european oh it is the brainchild of today both the

organizes and the artists themselves refused to either give us an interview or to allow me to film the exhibition they did send this e-mail. what do the people of bilin think about must militarists being venerated in this way is it right to put these people on display in this type of exhibition here and don't know from you know why it was just a reference i think that people would have differing perspectives obviously lumping different groups of people together is always a complicated subject because they come from different backgrounds i don't know i don't think so why. just be at two different types of people and it's not the same when we agree with even perspective on this is not for us to decide because react is i pretty much yes the exhibition is about is about moving the psychology behind most of them or towards people who do certain things it's not a problem as long as the exhibition focuses on the differentiation of martyrdom

that could potentially lead to murder curses martyrdom that that you know the civil rights for example like that's just basic human rights the motto or. die only for themselves. believe yeah yeah in what they have believed and the on that murder because they killed i'm not that person are many other persons i don't think that's the. you could piece together the all tourists had previously explained to the media that the idea was to try and put yourself in the mindset of somebody who's willing to die for what they believed in even if that belief was to you a sensory experience using lights and sounds to try to explain the old adage of one man's terrorist being another man's freedom fighter. the

point is to present a complex view on the world of mosts and we understand that everyone has a different perspective but it's the personal perspective the masses in this exhibition bush to some it's impossible to see the artistic intention beyond the reality of an exhibition that places must murderers a long sight civil rights champions peace for all of us. donald trump has given his first reaction to the news that his former national security advisor michael flame pleaded guilty to lying to the f.b.i. the president once again said that there was no clue between his camp and moscow. and what has been shown. no clearly there's been absolutely absolutely no proof so we're very happy. playing that pleaded guilty on friday to lying to the f.b.i. about conversations ehab a year ago with russia's then ambassador to the u.s. the x. and y. z.

agents now at this point you know the white house has come forward and said look this charge doesn't implicate anyone other than michael flynn the full statements involved mirror the full statements to white house officials which resulted in his resignation in february of this year nothing about the guilty plea or the charge implicates any one of the mr frewen we've had several indictments at this point individuals who misled federal officials made false statements are now facing criminal charges but as of yet the collusion story isn't really materializing court filings revealed contacted the russian ambassador asking to delay or defeat a vote on a u.n. resolution involving israel they also allegedly discussed the response to the sanctions imposed by the obama administration michael flynn also said he consulted senior trump transition officials over those contacts former russian envoy sergey kislyak of though denied he ever discussed sanctions with clinton.

i was just going to this thing just cannot assure you that i flew those institutions we will go over this issue because from the beginning we have decided it's illegal to do on the show planes conversations with kids the act potentially violate the centuries old logan act it prohibits americans from negotiating with foreign governments over existing disputes with the us however since the act was passed not a single person has ever been successfully prosecuted under the rules political commentator steve malzberg believes trump is unlikely to be badly damaged by the latest development he lied to the f.b.i. why he chose to lie about these meetings that with. i don't know what he did and he pleaded guilty for it now they're saying always get up tell everything about trial and coercion or what the hell why not have this relates to kowloon kulula this is all president elect trump asking for or someone on his staff saying hey reach out

to foreign countries by the way the great and the mccarthy a former federal prosecutor writes today it's commonplace for an incoming national security adviser to go to foreign countries and talk to his counterparts or reach them on the phone in anticipation of a new administration there's nothing here that's that's going to get trump four or are in trouble. the government of honduras has imposed a ten day curfew amid deadly street riots the central american nation is in the grip of a political crisis over claims of ballot fraud in the recent election. along

with the curfew the government has suspended citizen's constitutional rights to help the police and army deal with the situation the rest are up to after the opposition alleged fraud in the election vote count in one thousand year old female protester has been killed and twenty other people have been injured in the car. tensions that spilled over after both main candidates claimed victory in sunday's a vote opposition candidate salvador. has rejected the final count which gave the lead to current president won or londo hernandez questions that were raised when hernandez suddenly surged into the lead late into the count we asked the latin american experts for their views on the crisis in hunter s. . we're looking at a president in the case of hernandez who is trying to prolong his time in power now

by not accepting the results or by telling people that they have won when in fact they have not a problem by manipulating the information they need for the population to think that there is some kind of manipulation going on of the truth has not been told and now if the results are giving whether it is in favor of salvador all in favor over it and this nobody is going to be satisfied so the government in a way has by proclaiming victory on sunday and that being prudent has led to this unrest so i think we have to calm down and offer the people often do as a result that satisfies only the people but also the region as well the enduring people have taken the streets very courageously just as they didn't two thousand and nine when mine was a lie had a democratically elected president was overthrown in a coup this cruel military and police rule in martial law are in the curfew are violations of international law and of human rights and there's no question it

doesn't do and people are going to continue to resist despite the state violence that they are confronting. an earthquake in north korea has been linked to recent underground bomb tests that story much more still come you're watching are the international. this admission of the israeli state is jewish and give all kind of take in my opinion floated that up citizen self as it is a jewish state for the jewish. state this is how it goes is that i like so usually equal it says to they are to be on companies when it is the will they are talking about economy but when democracy they want only to compare with that of the worst.

and then that insurance policy but only because if they develop a nuclear weapon at the capability of the new bring it. with the us home that as far as the americas of course they feel threatened as the world's superpower campolo rate the smallest country long both korea. developing this capability to challenge their purity but of course what all the options open. up ability to wait north korea from the face of the earth but that this option because a is likely to ask into a regional lot of group will war and secondly this would put south korea at great risk. french president emanuel has met in paris with the iraqi kurdistan prime minister they discussed of the recent kurdish referendum and the importance of
