ahead on the program this hour another retraction from a major u.s. media over its coverage of the scandal surrounding the white house. with russia. also the u.s. korea begin their biggest ever joined. north korea is washington is quote begging for nuclear war. nato members begin drawing up plans for more muscular responses to state sponsored cyber attacks.

from moscow to the world welcome to our international my names you know neal always good to have your company our top story this hour full of claims on washington's ties with moscow have landed one top u.s. political reporter with a suspension the a.b.c. news network handed out the punishment for report which said dole trump had told his former security advisor to contact russian officials before his election victory but critics are now running on the american president for hindering an investigation into michael flynn's actions. what we're beginning to see is the putting together. case of obstruction of justice i think we see this in the indictment the four indictments and please that had 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. or president trump tweeted this past

saturday he'd fired flynn for lying to the vice president and the f.b.i. if in at the time was under investigation when f.b.i. director james comey claimed he was asked to drop the case no trumps lawyer has taken responsibility for writing the potentially incriminating tweet while the president himself has hit back at call me i never asked me to stop investigating flynn just more fake news covering another comi lie but explains fake news is masking what the investigation into alleged russian ties has actually proven. 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 between members of the incoming administration and foreign officials that are works on tree 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 with 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 mis reporting especially when it comes to stories on russia.

will dispute it that he ever assured the president that he was not under any kind of investigation. the march the thirtieth of. april eleventh told him we're not investigating per se 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 and. let's turn our attention to asia now where sites korea the united states have begun conducting their largest ever joint aerial drills according to officials in seoul the exercises washington indicates war with north korea is becoming

increasingly likely. so 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. with america house and six tactical stealth jets eighteen of its latest fighter planes to participate in the drills along with around twelve thousand military personnel so korea ses the drills are aimed at improving the allies wartime capabilities many also see them as a display 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 cool to be capable of hitting the u.s. mainland also claimed this weekend washington is quote begging for a nuclear war russia and china have been calling a north korea under america both to refrain from reckless moves but that call has been flatly rejected by washington political analysts of chang told me the recent developments indicate that the parties to the conflict or unwilling to negotiate. this certainly not sensible and this is not going to be very effective both the united states. korea 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 will be difficult to expect beijing to do more wowed the united states to do anything to bring about peaceful negotiations on a rational basis i think the united states but we understand it is now extremely a diver go to our north korea to abandon its nuclear weapons program so the only way is to negotiate we still come on the wisdom of all parties concerned and we still assume that the remaining 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. a 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 imposed last week. the current president won orlando hernandez stuff staying late to victory in the vote he surged past. write the end of the ballot card many are suspicious of the nature of the winner for and this tensions then spilled over in the central american nation leading to a week of unrest in which three people died and many others ridge.

from defense to offense seven nato members are considering a more aggressive approach to tackling state sponsored a base a retaliation could even involve cyber attacks however there could be some hidden pitfalls so it's very difficult to prove the source of any attack with more not because the if. first came. then navy's air force is next now there are a cyber nice there is a change in the mindset so except the 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. would be on board with such a program the united states britain germany no way spain denmark and in 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 can 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 adverse series 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 that story and plenty more and one and a half. with

lawmakers manufacture consensus and stick to the public will. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the famous merry go round. be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. room.

monday afternoon here in moscow a quarter past midday welcome back to the program the u.s. president hasn't yet decided whether to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel that's according to senior white house adviser jared cushion or it comes after reports emerged last week that trump will recognize true islam as the capital but won't move the american embassy there from tel aviv despite an earlier page to do just that presidents going to make his decision. and he hasn't made his 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 you. ok let's just break down some of what we know here in jerusalem has a special separated body status as the city is contested by israel and palestine its been a key area of dispute in the conflict between the two the is really government claims

jerusalem as its capital but most of the international community does not recognize it as such if the u.s. were to recognize that it would likely inflame tensions in the middle east no trumps an initiative to move this country's embassy to jerusalem which he outlined of course on the presidential campaign trail has been condemned by the are a bleed countries there are secretary-general warns that the proposal would fuel extremism and lead to violence a member of the israeli parliament this issue with exile of boyko in the latest edition of worlds apart. if any negotiation has to happen it has first of all to be sponsored by an international international community and not only by the united states then other states of america is not an objective power in what's concerning israel and palestine i have seen already how trump ministration and trump himself is acting on different issues he is unpredictable he is this

is the least we can say he is not stable in his policy and fatah made a good ad it is known that all the people that are working with him are on the palestinian israeli issue 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 for them i are 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. ok to leave the story now which may have a lot of ramifications our court case from one side of the world to be other peruvian former go up against the german energy giant evidence has been put forward alleging the company or w. and its emissions are to blame for an glacier melting in south america. the two

glaciers up there are blocks of ice that hang over the lake like shrooms. they now they could fall down in an avalanche. in 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. that's why we demand that they install protection measures at our glacial lake and also so it would have. been even better or that they should stop contaminating the climate in the future so that all people can survive mostly . you know. the village where he lives is located near a glacier lake in the andes mountains and it's flooding could be the result of climate change the dangers posed by the melting ice meant the farmer moved to

r.w.d. considered by some campaign groups to be the largest emitter of carbon dioxide and saw once the energy giant to pay for the damages caused by flooding to protect his village against future floods however are w e denies the accusations saying the case has no legal basis in a report the company says its objective is to avoid or minimize the negative consequences of its activities while promising to reduce emissions by fifteen percent within thirty six months. we're focusing on racial. testing if. you're investing you'll see millions to make the part. we're investing in a green future. here we've been getting reaction to this case including from the farmers lawyer this is what she had to say the current

situation is this is there is a risk. that for half the costs. to be invested in securing the relational leak in the markets in the east above the city it was he was not himself to tell me the still solution but what you will get is a determination forward into effect are we europe's largest it has its share of those costs. let's get some news from europe or for a man and a woman have been detained on suspicion of currying i had an attack on a jewish family in paris back in september ria financial reports on what officials have called a hateful assault. four men the oldest fifty years old and the youngest twenty and nineteen year old woman suspected of participating in an assault against

a jewish family in perry's north eastern suburbs have now been detained and put under investigation that attention 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 this were tied up bitten and robbed according to local had to submit to crime watchdog organization one of the attackers shouted to your jewish people so you have money into the family's lawyer although it is yet to be investigated whether the attack was actually religious the maltese they did shortly after it happened various jewish organizations in france condemned it as and to some may take. parts of french society are becoming increasingly semitic on one hand. towards jews is being accepted by other parts

we call on 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 estimate that the attack appears to be directed 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 years around twenty thousand of them have fled the country that some poor in connection with a number of crimes where jewish people are targeted. is a columnist for the u.k.'s telegraph newspaper and she is all be opinion similar incidents of potential hate attacks are on the rise in front. 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 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 you have radicalization in all countries in the world. three tell an oscar winning director oliver stone has appeared in artie's sophia and co he spoke about his op close and personal interviews with love him or put him on the current state of u.s. russia relations we went to the kremlin and we shot mr putin or over three days.
