another attraction from the us media outlets over its coverage of the scandal surrounding the white house and pledge to conclusion with russia. south korea in the u.s. . drills as north korea says washington is begging. nato members begin drawing up plans for a response. back we'll have the details. date

from. first off for you the top u.s. t.v. political reporter working for a.b.c. news has been suspended without pay off to making false claims about potential collusion between team trump and moscow he stated that michael flynn was going to testify he'd been told to make contact with russian officials before trumps election victory but the former national security adviser is not believed to have established dialogue until after the election president from currently stands accused of trying to hinder the f.b.i. investigation as it looked into flynn's actions. 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 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 of donald trump tweeted on saturday that

he fired flynn for lying to the vice president and the f.b.i. about a meeting he held with the russian ambassador critics say that shows the knew about flynn lying to the f.b.i. when he encouraged his former chief james komi to drop the investigation well now trump's lawyer has taken responsibility for composing the potentially incriminating tweet or the president himself has hit back at comi i never asked me to stop investigating flynn just more fake news covering another comi lie but as jackie of lugar explains fake news is masking while 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. members of the incoming administration and foreign officials

never works on treatment for 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 flip 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 described 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 rush. 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 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 in the united states have begun conducting the largest ever joint aerial drills according to officials in seoul the exercises come as washington indicates the 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 and 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 america sent six tactical stealth jets and eighteen of its latest fighter planes to participate in the drills along where there were around twelve thousand military personnel south korea says the drills are aimed at improving the allies wartime capabilities many though also see them as a display of the two country's military might.

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 pyongyang also claim that the weekend that washington is quote begging for nuclear war russia and china have been calling on north korea around america both to refrain from reckless moves but that call has been flatly rejected by washington political analyst joseph chang says that the recent developments indicate that the parties to the conflict are willing to negotiate there's certainly not sensible and this is not going to be very effective both the 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 we feel says to do anything to bring about a peaceful negotiations on a rational basis i think the united states will understand it is now extremely it ever 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 the remaining rational on the last point. only means that at the moment at the state all parties do not want a military conflict in the region. violent mass protests are continuing in honduras over allegations of the country's presidential election was rigged as despite the authorities agreeing to a partial recount. tens

of thousands of people were out in force to give their backing to the opposition candidate salvador nasrallah around a thousand ballot papers are being reviewed but nasrallah says he won't recognize the result unless a much broader recount is held at 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 han orlando hernandez snatched a late victory in the vote he said past salvador nasrallah right at the end of the ballot count and many are suspicious of the nature of that win for him and this tension then spilled over in the central american country leading to a week of unrest in which three people died and many others were injured.

from a defense to offense seven nato members are considering a more aggressive approach to tackling state sponsored hacking they say retaliation could even involve cyber attacks themselves however that could be some hidden pitfalls because it's very difficult to prove the source of any attack as my guest you have explains. first came. then navy's air force is next now there are a cyber nice there is a change in the mindset that computers just like 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 seven seed 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 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 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. trump is still to make up his mind over which city should be considered israel's capital we'll explain that for you and the potential ramifications after the break.

brings peace talks. for you to tell you that. i'd like to. tell you. all the hawks that we all love.

the u.s. president decided whether to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel according to senior white house advisor. reports emerged last week that trump would consider jerusalem to be the israeli capital but won't move the american embassy that from tel aviv despite a pledge to do so. the 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 want to want to tell your nominees let's put this in context through slim of course is a holy city for muslims christians and jews and it's been a key area of dispute in the conflict between israelis and palestinians the israeli government claims to roost as its capital but most of the international community doesn't recognize it as such now if the u.s. were to recognize it it would likely inflame tensions across the middle east as

well from the initiative to move his country's embassy to jerusalem which outlined on the presidential campaign trail has been condemned by the arab league countries their secretary general warns that the proposal would fuel extremism and lead to violence and israeli m.p.'s been discussing the issue on artie's world 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 trump 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 fatah made a good egg it is known that all the people that are working with him on the

palestinian israeli issue are very very much a loyal to the israeli side if we take into consideration also the american interest 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. from one side of the world to the other has seen the peruvian farmer go up against a german energy joint evidence has been put forward alleging that the company under to missions are to blame for it last year melting in south america. the two glaciers up there are blocks of ice that hang over the lake like big 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 zone to this episode and that's why we demand that they install protection measures at our glacial lake this 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 until. the village where sawyer lives is located near a glacial lake in the andes mountains and its flooding could be the result of climate change the dangers posed by the melting ice led the farmer to sow r.w.d. considered by some campaign groups to be the world's largest emitter of carbon dioxide and so wants the energy giant to pay for the damages caused by flooding and to protect his village against future flood however denies the accusations saying that 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 three years. we are focusing on operational excellence and they're

still i'm sure. you're investing the million dollars to make the part if. we're investing in a green future. here's what the farmers lawyer has to say about the case. the current situation is city there is severe flood risk. for half the costs that will need to be invested in securing the literally. the least of all this is you know what us he would also sell gets any money on this but i want to look at determination i don't want to answer that are we as europe's largest it's how it's.

three time oscar winning director oliver stone is on today sophie and co on our team which he talks about his a close and personal interviews with the team of putin and the current state of u.s. russia relations we went to the kremlin and we shot mr putin over three days and . 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 ear it was in spontaneous i gave melissa 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 limitation else come you know all the way through why do you ask and as you can see my every day i look different he was always the same he looked very together i was sometimes jet lag and play here was blown in the way and this that i get i changed appearances several times but. in other words i'm the opposite of an american anchor i don't look like megan kelly and a look at you even you see ultimately go shit or you wear you out he really

believes in talking about everything there's no there are certain points of interest for every country has its national interests and he constantly in parts of this russia has its national interests and he's open to the go to negotiating anything but those national interests and when you cross the line. he will let you know as you know i pushed him but whatever people say i pushed him and certainly i could feel his irritation when i was pushing them hard on the democracy question on this the question of his succession and what's going to happen next year there were times i riled him more than once but i am concerned and the reason i undertook the series was i was very concerned about going back to my relationship to russia what happened to the american russian relationship.

but all of a stone and so i had to head right here in a few hours time where you can watch it right now out on t.v. . but i would try to get it off enough the next world update from moscow. kaiser with more of my guide to financial survival this on a device used by professional scallywags to earn money. that's right these hedge funds are simply not accountable. to them. to stabilize the global economy you need to protect yourself and get in for what's kaiser. is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world

of. dismiss it. like. this isn't my cup of tea is. the only palestinians who gets the most hopeful counterparts i don't think. the vision to. no only because it isn't. and that's to sell off yes that is to how to display any of the most of the identical tedium of doesn't seem to do more almost lost their company's office. i was born and. it was my home for twenty five years. the fire in the four easy to hold it all well. now that was the most heartbreaking thing i've ever seen in my life it was such it was traumatic you know we will felt by the state before and often a fire good food changed everything we talk politics now and how we can take power

. if we continue to stand and make the noise and not people out we can change this community. we need to realize that collectively we have real power with real real power to shape our destinies and to be artisans of offbeat so we need to seize these opportunities in an organized. may. we're going to let me.

know you. i'm after a time say we're going underground on the day to factor cattle on president called double faces a belgian court to defend the right of his people to break up spain coming over the show from the millions of bodies that line ashes of endless imperial wars around the world to the role of journalists on the ever developing electronic battlefield we speak george winning journalist and filmmaker john pilger about using his documentaries to smash mainstream media silence all this and more coming up on

today's going underground well no one said it would be easy but today you. a prime minister theresa may meet with the president of the european commission. those who support that are a very loose coalition of those left behind by rampant neo liberal economic policies stemming from successive u.k. governments and idealistic utopian free marketeers those against it include the failed and bailed out city of london financial institutions and what is nebulously called the establishment those who've done relatively well as inequality has soared and of course there is the young educated by british school curricula that is arguably privileged identity politics over the last decades such of them rex it appears isolationist and then to travel has for britain's arguable colonial rule or the united states its attempt to intervene in the brics and referendum was clear and i believe the u.k. strengthens both our collective security and prosperity through the e.u. . in the twenty first century the nations that make their presence felt on the

world stage aren't the nations that go it alone the british people didn't vote the way washington wanted it to and whichever way our british viewers voted one thing is certain our next guest has been one of the few thorns in the side of mainstream narratives some of which ultimately appear to have failed to persuade the british people to vote to remain in the european union his name is john pilger the award winning author and filmmaker who revealed to the world not only the horrors of nature wars but the deliberately hidden abuse of power by nature governments a retrospective of his entire film work is now being held at the british library where gulmarg to change a third of the world within decades of writing there the british library festival celebrates the acquisition of six decades of print film and radio from john pilger you can go and see some of the films and watch john pilger talk at the british library on the ninth and tenth of december he joins me now john thanks for coming back on what's your reaction to this of your work in the british library well i'm armed absolutely delighted the british library is is

a wonderful institution. and i went to an exhibition the year or two ago about propaganda. and i thought it was really splendid. so to be included in the iraq. is a particular wrong let's go to your first documentary i mean the british journalists are being sent to war zones right now and we never yugoslavia afghanistan and libya of course syria and they always tend to show british troops proudly fighting for queen and country this ticket clip from this film nine hundred seventy the quiet mutiny where it doesn't seem so apparent. purpose in the war back home and him explain to me why we're actually here. you know i really have nothing against these people i want to. film you got there was the suit you first you see

in your other sheets of get the chance you have to shoot them there's usually. still one here guys two three months and i don't want you news people this was nineteen seventy there was then a mutiny a rebellion going right through the draft of army in the united states and in in vietnam us on the in vietnam these soldiers is. really he speaks the mole and it was very unusual at the time and very provocative when that film was put away in the world in actions by granada i t v. it was openly attacked by the then u.s. ambassador a friend of richard nixon's call and big media mogul and the head of the independent television authority the regulator i forgot the first name

so something phrased he was actually in the straight in the way you can tell he accused me of being a dangerous subversive. and that this was in fact he was apoplectic he called in granada's senior executives and demanded that something be done about me while of course they didn't have any intention of doing anything about me the founder of granada television. city bones more spain actually wrote to the sunday times saying it was the very kind of. journalism that he want to see more of more of such different days you talk about the use of drugs you talk about psyops units and you talk about press conference language because you're seen in a quiet mutiny asking questions about and we've got to remember this is

a war we got.
