a death warrant in fact u.s. drones have slaughtered some one 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 drones targets. the same unit which would be in charge of news year 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.r. machine you've done of our. in october the death of four u.s.

has risen to prominence since. the start of the migrant crisis the party won seats in parliament for the first time following september's election. day with germany now a berlin art exhibition devoted to the history of martyrdom has sparked controversy as the story. an exhibition called maltese museum has just opened in the german capital alongside socrates and mostly say king jr 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 northern 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 they seem a long thing we agree with eva perspective on this 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 or curses martyrdom that that you know the civil rights for example like that should be sick human rights the motto or. die only for themselves or believe yeah yeah in what they have believed and the on that matter because they count i'm not that person are many other persons i don't think that's but you can put the piece together the autists 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 horrific 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 in the world of mosts and we understand that everyone has a different perspective but is 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 peter all of. donald trump has given his first reaction to the news that his former national security advisor michael flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the f.b.i. the president once again said that there was no collusion between his camp in moscow. and what i've been. really really good absolutely absolutely no proof so we're very happy.

flynn pleaded guilty on friday to lying to the f.b.i. about conversations he had a year ago with russia's then ambassador to the u.s. the x. advisor has also agreed to fully cooperate with the so-called russia investigation and trump also reacted on twitter saying that flynn was fired for making the same misleading statements to the vice president however he added that his ex advisors actions during the transition did not violate the law or tease killam up and as commentary. we have michael flynn pleading guilty to charges of making false statements to federal agents at this point he's facing a sentence of between zero and six months in jail as well as a possible fine of up to nine thousand five hundred dollars now of course the mainstream media is in an uproar there's talk about the rush investigation all kinds of things are being made in the press this is being treated as a very big story let's recall how michael flynn stepped down as national security

adviser when he was serving in the trumpet ministration mr flynn misled vice president pence and now it appears that he's pled guilty to misleading federal 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 anyone other than mr frewen we have had several indictments at this point individuals who misled federal officials made false statements that are now facing criminal charges but as of yet the collusion story isn't really materializing court filings reveal flynt 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

transition officials over those contacts former russian envoy kislyak though denied he ever discussed sanctions with. and i'm sure you that those instructions will go over this issue because from the beginning we have illegal. conversations with 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. i don't know what he did and he pleaded guilty for it now they're saying always going to tell everything about trial and coercion or what to tell what none of this relates to kowloon just cool

little shit 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 andy 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 from reached him on the phone in anticipation of a new administration there's nothing here that's that's going to get trump or 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 grips of a political crisis over claims of ballot fraud in the recent election and the delayed vote count.

along with the curfew the government has suspended citizens 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 and one thousand year old female protester has been killed and twenty other people have been injured. and tensions spill. over after both main candidates claim victory in the sunday's vote opposition candidate salvador another allah has rejected the final count which gave the lead to current president one of us questions 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 honduras looking at a president in the case of hernandez was 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 only 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 and the democratically elected president was overthrown in a cool this cruel military and police rule in martial law are in the curfew are violations of international law in 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 and an earthquake in north korea has been linked to recent underground bomb tests not story much more still to come you are watching our international. i wish. to state this is how it goes is that i like so usually. when it is. only compared with. what. they did except to reject.

against each other in group b. and there are also some unexpected matches to look forward to in their first world cup appearance iceland will play against argentina. and we caught up with some of the managers taking teams into the tournament this is what they had to say. i think we've got a group of players that. contrie over eleven million to produce the sort of footballers are something to be proud of the biggest job we have to be able to see the players working hard for each other but enjoying the responsibility of being seen as one of the best generations of belgian football has ever had. we have this because belgium who we know everything about them so. i think that game will capture everybody's imagination at home we feel an exciting to a team that are only going to get better but we are a team some experience of those big matches.

we have to give. you know we are really proud to be qualified for the world we know it will be very difficult. but we are not going to do all good just to stay on the beach and to say you can go straight to the next round. we will have to make the best decisions we can during the tournament starts in that game against portugal there's no such thing as a good or bad opponent will have to have a victory against the teams we've been drawn against the match against put school be a great event. host nation russia is expecting more than half a million visiting fans to come and support their team at the championship more than three and a half million applied for tickets when the first batch went on sale ahead of the drawn borders from all over the world got the chance to see the world cup venue at this summer's confederations cup.

people playing a game of tag in a nazi death camp jewish activists had been demanding an official probe after it was established the video had been filmed in the hall for a concentration camp at the time no coming to a would of criticism was heard from polish official sources regarding the video on the from the prime minister's office nor from any official government representative extensive research recently revealed that the site where the video was filmed is the gas chamber at the stew told concentration camp and that it is this discovery which prompted the demand for clarification's from the politician leaders and the administration of the studio of concentration camp site the video was filmed by a polish artist back in one nine hundred ninety nine in two thousand and fifteen it was displayed at a crackles museum of contemporary art as part of an exhibition about auschwitz in the film of the naked men and women of varying ages chase each other in the gas chamber. well the video has come in for

a barrage of criticism museum's director says people are simply misunderstanding the sense of it but under pressure the film has been removed from the museum's website. i sixty five thousand people died and he stood huff concentration camp many starved or froze to death and others were gassed the camp was liberated by the soviet army at the end of world war two political commentator. thinks some in poland are trying to rewrite history. in our days we see constant attempts to rewrite the history of second of all war and the reason very strong feeling. that it's becoming more and more cheap i mean maybe the time i have to just. concentration camps there's nothing holy. about this long as they exist of course. just be tolerated by

and want to foster. a two point five magnitude earthquake has been detected in north korea close to where the country recently conducted a nuclear test that is according to south korea's weather agency it's the fourth tremor since the test raising fears of the area is suffering so-called tired mountain syndrome with the ground becoming unstable meanwhile japan and the united states have called a u.n. security council meeting after north korea conducted a ballistic missile test on thursday and the south korean parliament adopted a resolution on saturday calling on to stop provoking tensions meanwhile six u.s. fighter jets have arrived in seoul for upcoming air drills and hawaii has begun testing its nuclear warning sirens for the first time since the cold war.

it's concerning even i feel a little bit like it is out of my had no idea how much supposed to like find a bomb shelter am i supposed to go down to get a job but. i'm not very sure. regarding the new warning alarms i wonder what good it's going to do i remember that i gave fifty years what i. had to put my head under a desk in the elementary school and ten minutes morning what good does that do you it's ridiculous. and independent asia specialist to andrew long told us that the north korean regime sees nuclear weapons as vital to their survival. you've got to understand. all the relevant parties what they want for north korea what they want is that a car insurance policy against the regime change mainly coming from the states

and then that insurance policy but only because if they develop a nuclear weapon at the capability of delivering it over the us home that as far as the americas are of course they feel threatened as the world's superpower the whole rate for the smallest country in both korea developing this capability to challenge their currency but of course what all the options open to the united states have that ability to reiterate north korea from the face of the earth but that this and though no option because a is likely to ask into a regional group will walk and secondly this would put south korea at great risk. tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets of tel aviv calling on the prime minister to resign over corruption allegations.

the so-called march of shame was triggered by a draft law which would prevent the police from publishing their findings onto ongoing criminal investigations then yemeni netanyahu has been accused of abuse of office and receiving bribes activists held up signs reading shame and a crime minister netanyahu has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and calls the accusations a witch hunt orchestrated by hostile media the protesters are vowing to keep up the pressure until he is forced from office. i think the time has come for a change of government to government is corrupt sick of the corruption. in the limbs. we have a corrupt government that needs to be brought down as quickly as possible the prime minister and all of his columnists along with him. to defend democracy and the rule to build a more equal and just society for everyone. on

a slightly lighter note french president emanuel has met in paris with the iraqi kurdistan prime minister they discussed the recent kurdish referendum and the importance of national dialogue in iraq however hopes of presenting a way forward at a joint press conference a few hurdles. so. yeah . it is a myth you. see it would have put us deserve. scrutiny sure function. muskies with a group of digital streets if that means that if you're.

from it's a perfectly understands english but i think it would be strange to have to hear the person speaking in english only for the press conference it is but i'm pretty sure is that curry's could organize a translation for the prime minister. keep up the posse. keep on file suit of it a month. keep on the kill the. ball. in the family feel secure the. nothing. but i also know francis it won't look you miss on a good. player. that
