in the headlines this hour another retraction from a major us media uncleared over its coverage of the scandal surrounding the white house. with russia. the u.s. korea begin their biggest ever joint aerial drill it's north korea says washington is quote begging for a nuclear war. and a new spear of war for nato members begin drawing up plans for more muscular responses to state sponsored cyber attacks.

around the clock across the world this is r.t. international my names you know neil welcome to the program first this hour on verified allegations and deceit swirl around the white house as i q's ations build over the most of the president trumps firing former f.b.i. director james comey in may now that's all back in the spotlight after michael flynn who was trump's security adviser admitted last week he had lined up at the talks he had with russian officials with democrats saying firing who was investigating links to moscow amounts to an obstruction of justice. what we're beginning to see is that putting together a case of obstruction of justice i think we see this in the indictment the four indictments and plays that have just taken place he sets out that he wasn't acting as a rogue agent that in fact he was acting with the knowledge and at the direction of

people who were senior members of the transition team i think probably all of which ultimately ended up in the administration while donald trump tweeted on saturday to explain that he had fired flynn for lying to the vice president to the f.b.i. but critics say that from poznan fact incriminated himself by admitting that he knew about the lies in his twitter post but his jacqueline bouvier explains the mainstream media has to send it into what looks like another fake news franzi. after almost a year of investigations into whether team trump and big bad russia were in on it together the only concrete things to come out of those inquiries is a couple charges of making false statements and a shocking revelation that we knew a year ago this building doesn't see anything necessarily. you know you know appropriate about. members of the incoming administration and foreign officials never works right now and again this is an ongoing we have no. you know

no comment or no problem with them doing such on their own the obama administration saw no issue in michael flynn's conversations with the then russian ambassador because it was par for the course but that didn't stop the media running wild over his guilty plea for in fact checking to the wind like a.b.c.'s award winning chief investigative correspondent brian ross who won't be on the air for the next four weeks because of his false reporting on flynn he's prepared to testify we have told by a confidante against president trump against members of from family and others in the white house is prepared to testify the president as a candidate donald trump ordered him directly to make contact with the russians which contradicts all the government has said this point that bombshell report sent shock waves across the nation even taking the u.s. stock market only to be proved fake in reality michael flynn was asked to contact the russians only after trump had already won the election which makes a world of difference you can't sway a vote that's already played out a.b.c.

issued an apology about how they deeply regret the serious error saying they had not fully vetted ross the story well maybe they should have known better given his history of producing fake news back in two thousand and one ross made the explosive claim that saddam hussein may have been responsible for anthrax attacks in the u.s. citing only anonymous sources the white house personally shot down that story and what they refer to as concocted claims one news agency describe ross as quote having produced more high level haphazard reporting than perhaps any other reporter on. television although to be fair he's far from alone when it comes to reporting especially when it comes to stories on russia. will disputed that he ever assured the president that he was not under any kind of investigation. the march the thirtieth and again i.

told him we're not investigating personally that was true. corrections clarifications and apologies are all well and good but more often than not once the fake story is out of the bag the retraction does little to put it back in. south korea the united states have been conducting their largest ever joint aerial drills according to officials in seoul the exercises come as washington indicates war with north korea is becoming increasingly likely. so what has the potential of war with north korea increased since this latest launch i think it's increasing every day which means that we're in a race really we're in a race to be able to solve this problem is crazy to send spouses and children to

south korea given the provocation of north korea so i want them to stop sending dependents and i think it's now time to start moving american dependents out of south korea. well what american house sent are six tactical stealth jets eighteen of its latest fighter planes to participate in the drills along with iran twelve and military personnel so i create a safe the drills are aimed at improving the allies wartime capabilities many also see the most of this play of the country's military might. i . north korea announced last week that it had tested its most

powerful intercontinental ballistic missile to date it's thought to be capable of hitting the u.s. mainland. claim this weekend washington is quote begging for a nuclear war with russia and china have been calling on north korea and america it both to refrain from reckless moves but that call has been flatly rejected by in washington political analyst of chang told me the recent developments indicate that the parties to the conflict are unwilling to negotiate. certainly not sensible and this is not going to be very effective bolted united space. are not ready to accept the suggestion on the part of china russia may need to stop nuclear missile tests on the part of north korea. and military exercises on the part of the united space and south korea to january. atmosphere for

negotiations it will be difficult to expect beijing to do more wowed the united states refused to do anything to bring about a peaceful negotiations on the russian. stand it is now extremely double go to north korea to abandon its nuclear weapons program so the only way is to negotiate we still count on the wisdom of all parties concerned and we still assume that they read being rational on the last point it certainly means that at the moment at this stage all parties do not want a military conflict in the region. violent mass protests are continuing in honduras over allegations the country's presidential election was rigged that's despite the authorities agreeing to

a partial recount of the vote. i. was. losing tens of thousands of people were out in force to give their boxing to the opposition candidate salvador national on the phone listen ballot papers are being reviewed but not strong a safe he will not recognize the result on this a much broader recount. the rally he also gave a speech urging the army to refuse to enforce a nationwide curfew that was imposed last week. the current president's one orlando her none days not stay late victory in the vote he surged past salva toward. the end of the ballot count and many are suspicious of the nature of the win for her nonetheless tensions have since spilled over in the central american country on this lead to a week on rest in which three people were killed and many others injured.

from defense to off fence seven nato members are considering a more aggressive approach to tackling state sponsored hucking they say retaliation could even involve cyber attacks however there could be some hidden pitfalls it's very difficult to prove the source of any attack route explains.

first came. then navy's air force is next now there are a cyber nice there is a change in the mindset to accept that computer is just like a craft and ships have an offensive capability in two thousand and fourteen need to recognize the need for collective self-defense in the cybersphere self defense in two thousand and sixteen need to recognize the online world as a battleground land sea and the internet in two thousand and seventeen they're now talking about a sense of capabilities a fence attack boy that escalated quickly it is inevitable because the way competition works if someone doesn't do something then someone else will and so either you're doing it often safely or you're doing it defensively so the

likelihood of it occurring is very high and i would say that most responsible heads of state would. be on board with such a program the united states britain germany no way spain denmark and the netherlands have announced that they'll now respond to alleged cyber attacks with their own the problem here is not that all these countries shouldn't they have the right to stand up for themselves every nation does the problem is how on earth are you going to prove anything given the ability to to use proxies and to spoof. it's very difficult to tell where a cyber attack originates from when the target is able to capture the code compromised some machine. they can sometimes read the signature of that code and say oh that looks like russian code or looks like chinese code or looks like israeli code so they can say it reminds us of or has sections or modules that look

like ones we've seen before and so that type. forensic analysis can be used to determine the likely source but you can't tell where the actual payload came from that isn't fantasy thanks that we could leaks we know that the cia has an entire mechanism dedicated to impersonating others they do this by faking digital i.d.'s and by leaving behind traces leading to third parties like china or russia which begs the question how do you respond to your email being hacked when you can't reliably deduce who did it if you crash your suspected adversaries bank network will bring down a power plant perhaps the national traffic light system there's nothing no rules in the cyber world is wilder than the wild west ever was. donald trump is still to make up his mind over israel's capital city we've got about story plenty more

just after this. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the senate it's full on. the only show i go out of my way to you know this really packs a punch. yampa is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than to see people you've never heard of love back to the night president of the world bank. sent us an e-mail. seems wrong why don't we all just don't call. me. yet

to stamp out the attic. and in detroit because the trail. when something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. for an hour into the program welcome back the u.s. president hasn't yet decided whether to recognize jerusalem the capital of israel according to senior white house advisor. it comes after reports emerged last week that trump will recognize jerusalem as the capital but won't move the american embassy there from tel aviv. president's going to make his decision and. decision he's still looking at a lot of different facts and that when he makes his decision. he'll be the one to want to tell your nominee well jerusalem has

a special separate body state as well as the city is contested by israel palestine it's been a key area of dispute in the conflict between the two the israeli government claims jerusalem as its capital but most of the international community doesn't recognize it as such now if the u.s. were to recognize that it would likely inflame tensions in the middle east initiative to move his country's embassy to jerusalem. which i'd lined on the presidential campaign trail of course has also been condemned by the our league countries there are secretary general warns that the proposal would fuel extremism and lead to violence and this really government member of the legislative branch discusses the issue with the boy who in the latest episode of worlds apart. if any negotiation has to happen it has first of all to be sponsored by an international international community i'm not only by the united states then other states of

america is not an objective power in what's called israel and palestine i have seen already how. administration and trump himself is acting on different words he is unpredictable he is. this is the least we can say he is not stable in his policy and one of my other good as it is known that all the people that are working with him on the palestinian israeli issue are very very much to the israeli side if we take into consideration also the american interests in the region and how israel is serving these interests what i'm either going to that's why i do not see that the united states of america especially headed by is a good news for the palestinian issue. in the court case from one side of the world to the other senior peruvian former go up against the german

energy giant evidence has been put forward alleging the company are w. it's a missions are to blame for an ice glacier melting in south america. blog the two glaciers up there are blocks of ice that hang over the lake like mushrooms. only day now they could fall down in an avalanche. as in a little knows when this will happen there's always the risk that a huge flood wave will rush down into our valley it would be a disaster loan to him a good person who disappeared that's why we demand that they install protection measures at our place a lake and also so it would have. an even better or that they should stop contaminating the climate in the future so that all people can survive. the village were so all you young lives is located near a glacier

a lake in the on these mountains and it's flooding could be the result of climate change the dangers posed by the melting ice meant the former move to sue r.w. we considered by some to be the largest emitter of carbon dioxide sol wants the energy giant to pay for the damages caused by flooding and to protect his village against future floods. however are w e denies the accusations saying the case has no legal basis and in a report the company also stated its objective is to avoid or minimize the negative consequences of its activities while promising to reduce emissions by fifteen percent within three years. we are focusing on racial experts. testing it. so you're investing in the millions to make the part. we're investing in a green future. we also took the opportunity to speak to the farmers

lawyer about that. the current situation in this city and there is the other is. that for half the costs. to be invested in securing relationally markets in the face of all of this is you know what us he will not sell get any money out of the school system but once you look at the determination by which injuries are only. europe's largest it has its share of those costs. for man and woman being detained on suspicion of currying out an attack on a jewish family porous back in september refresher reports on what officials have called a hateful assault for men the oldest fifty years old in the youngest twenty and

nineteen year old woman suspected of participating in an assault against a jewish family in paris north eastern suburbs have now been detained and put under investigation there detention is provisional which means they haven't been charged yet the incident in question happened earlier in september when a group of attackers broke into the house of a local drish community leader the man his wife and their stand were tied up bitten and robbed according to local had to submit a crime watchdog organization one of the attackers shouted to your jewish people saw you have money poured into the family's lawyer although it is yet to be investigated whether the attack was actually religiously motivated shortly after it happened various jewish organizations in france condemned it as and to semitic. parts of french society are becoming increasingly into semantic on one hand and this whole world's juice is being accepted by other parts we call in french

authorities to firmly rooted out societal anti semitism and its passive acceptance the case also got their attention of israel's ambassador to france he also condemned it on twitter france's interior minister was also quick to estimates that the attack appears to be directed linked to their religion but again despite these claims it is up to investigators right now to find out whether the attack was connected to the victim's religion or not france is home to the largest jewish community in europe about half a million but in recent here is around twenty thousand of them have fled the country that some point in connection with a number of crimes where jewish people are targeted. elizabeth a columnist for the u.k.'s telegraph newspaper saying a similar incidence of potential hate attacks are on the rise in france. those people who are all. paying too much attention to propaganda on the internet on

various radical television channels etc. have been found all style and to citizen propaganda and they believe that this is something that has grown in france in the past thirty years it has grown on the one side with the with the growth of islamism in the world and it has grown also with the rise of modern techniques of communication i think it started in the one nine hundred eighty s. with satellite television and then it was the internet a new body is doing properly the kind of work to reeducate that segment it's very difficult how do you do you radicalize people if you have radicalization in all countries in the world. three time oscar winning director oliver stone has appeared in artie's sofia and co he spoke about his up close and personal interviews with a lot of airports and the current state of u.s. russia relations we went to the kremlin and we shot mr putin over three days.

at that time we didn't know if this would go on it was simply you know take it as it comes like you're doing and played by here it was spontaneous i gave him a list of quick questions i was areas that i was going to cover but it wasn't limited he didn't say it was totally spontaneous i didn't have any limitations all the way through and as you can see by every day i look different he was always the same he looked very together i was sometimes jetlag and well here was blowin in the wind. i guess i changed appearances several jobs but. in other words i'm the opposite of an american anchor i don't look like megan kelly had to look like you even. that's a compliment. the

oliver stone wants to lots of different questions in that interview and if you'd like to see it in its entirety and you can in two hours time here on our team or programs right ahead stay with us. quick place is not the country. the bush. family loves. you that's what this is. the culture. let's. check your. local member of oneself to be.

the best and i think kind of odd that are based on the mushroom. credit card number can i do not the last columnist was from that matter how anomaly it is from a show i mean can our. troops from a collude with almost feel now with the fuckin on the cuckoo let's see the circular saw enough hardware show that it was a civil war a lot of this is another car. boys as a lizard a lot of the streets of the cinema large over the other a lot of this. the series was. about your sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself and taken your last wrong turn. you're out caught up to us we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry funny i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these

things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was against still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one quite different person to speak to now because there are no other takers. just saying that mainstream media has met its maker. the family.

oh and welcome the cross for all things you considered i'm peter lavelle michael flynn admits lying to the f.b.i. the reaction of russia gators and the liberal media is jubilation but why flynn's admission in fact deflates the now popular conspiracy theory.

cross talking some real news i'm joined by my guest mark sloboda he's an international affairs and security analyst we also have eleven she is a political analyst as well as a leading expert at the center for actual politics and of course we have dmitri bob each is a political analyst with sputnik international all right gentlemen crosstalk roles in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate picture let me go to you first here. michael flynn i'm not surprised that he admitted to lying to the f.b.i. i think everybody knew that the media and a field day with that they stumbled with it is well what are the implications of this is that the beginning of something for the end of something it's it's the beginning of something that's not very good for the tampa news station. and you know looking at it from the point of view what flynn actually did wrong all the charge here with was lang you know to they have be i almost a non charge would have the same time they did because flynn has decided to flip

and he's going to they expect him to give evidence to give testimony that they will be able to use that robert and his team will be able to use to bring down people closer to term and of course from the very beginning their original target was not flynn it wasn't planning for it it wasn't. brigades it was little boys for the cause of course they don't care by these people and in fact in any other situation in any other election year or post election year nobody would get charged for these types of i mean if their target is stump and miller miller is not going to stop until he brings down the american that's his goal if he could get there marc because it seems to me and i've talked to some legal people about this is that if there were something more serious it would be some kind of conspiracy because

that's what they're.
