forty which has been circulated throughout the media platforms confirm that saleh was in his way out of the capital sanaa. some reports say that he was on his way to marib province which is under the control of saudi arabia and also. forces loyal to the to the to the legitimate president abdurrahman sort of the. group has already confirmed that they have already. defeated the silas forces and they have already taking the things into the into their hands and the capital sanaa and the announced with the death of the former president they're now the they have already. defeated their rivalry and the capital sanaa but so far many analysts believe that the the the situation on the counseling would

it wouldn't stop by the death of the former president as the loyalists of the former presidents would would continue his march on especially as the former president has his son in the united arab emirates who are you. to lead the republican guards the believe that the the republican guards were. with would join ranks were in the fight against the fighters especially from different areas of one hundred three it's a complicated picture the former president a powerful figure even today even though he was ousted from power several years ago now things took a dramatic turn though within the past week what happened. sorry can you repeat your question quickly or you think you're going to mattick turn within the past week salai still

a very powerful figure and his ally to the who thinks they're not and then back again but things took a dramatic change within the past week what went wrong in that alliance. i can tell you that the former presidents are of the latest speech where during which we call call for direct talks with saudi arabia. as he mentioned that the current of the county is the only on the sol representative of the yemeni people that has angered the. law who consider this as a coup against their partnership in their fight against saudi arabia. since that is speech things granted dramatic especially as the. group when the march of the prophet of islam their day in the submarine. things started to take a dangerous especially as the considered the abdullah saleh as

allied himself with saudi arabia he described him described this as a trial for their partnership so the they have to keep these. these clashes and confrontations against this. body guards on the horn has also forces but things would not stop this more well this power point as the conflict is really could might widen and the situation in yemen it is really reached a difficult situation as the the humanitarian situation here in the country has reached. just levels more than the nineteen million yemenis are in in a dire need for a full food for food with the continuation of the saudi blockade of the airports and seaports i'm sure now if this is verified incident then things are likely to take a turn for the worst any time will tell when we find out further details for now

the mohammed other top thank you very much for updating us from sanaa. next top u.s. political reporter working for a.b.c. news has been suspended without pay after making false claims about potential collusion between team trump and moscow he stated the trump directed flint to make contact with russia while he was still a candidate but flynn is not believed to have established dialogue until after the election from former aide to be making headlines since friday when he pleaded guilty to lying to the f.b.i. about his contacts with the then russian ambassador to the u.s. flynt became the first former white house official to be charged in the so-called russia investigation but is jacqueline berger explains fake news is masking what the probe into alleged collusion has actually uncovered. 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 pretty

pretty about. the birds of the incoming administration and foreign officials the fireworks going tree right now and again this is an ongoing we have no. you know no commenter 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 flynt he's prepared to testify we have told by a confidant 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.

is that he ever assured the president that he was not under any kind of investigation. the march the thirtieth and. told them were 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 up. in west africa where the country's president has confirmed and soldiers were killed in a french ass strike in october from thought that its operation was targeting forces that had deserted to join an islamist group however it's now believed that those soldiers have been taken hostage by the jihadists. they were the terrorists

hostages and the should be no ambiguity about that between our french friends and us. live to paris now r.t. correspondent for national hi there again what else has been established about the strike in october. well it's one of those stories where the truth is really hard to be established but what we know for sure so far is that at the end of the toper the french military stationed in africa is part of the anti terrorist operation known as that hunt carried out a strike target in the northern part of mali the country's troubled region suffering a lot in the last five years and currently from islam is violence according to the french commanders fifteen jihadist were killed in the attack including who they believe were former mollen soldiers who joined the ranks of the islamists let's take a listen the discovery of a terrorist cell in the region of. led to

a joint action between the french special forces and operation back in soldiers this operation allowed us to take out fifteen members of this group. mali's president has given a different perspective of the events that clearly contradicts the french side saying that they were a mali an army soldiers who were held hostage by the is the best let's take a listen. it's regrettable it can unfortunate happen in these types of operations we should. look for reasons that exist. said to say but indeed as molly's president said this may happen during this type of operations but what is surprising in this situation is the reaction of mali's president despite the death of the country soldiers that could have been killed by

mistake and could be considered as collateral damage. his reaction is very more to it and he even calls his range partners friends why is he doing that it's really hard to say how he may have he's his own reasons and we know that mali has been helped a lot by friends to fight against islamist groups in the northern part of the country but again this is one of those stories where the accounts could be different from sides involved and it's really hard to establish where is the truth difficult to get on top of what is one of the world's forgotten trouble spots for number if a national in paris thanks for updating us. so of korea of the united states have begun conducting their largest ever join the aerial drills according to officials in seoul exercises come as washington indicates the 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. america has sent six tactical stealth jets and eighteen of its latest fighter planes to participate in the drills along with around twelve thousand military personnel south korea says the drills are aimed at improving the allies wartime capabilities previous joint drills have been seen by many as a display of the two country's military might.

last week north korea test fired an intercontinental ballistic missile said to be capable of hitting the u.s. mainland pyongyang also claimed at the weekend that washington is quote begging for nuclear war russia and china have been calling on north korea and america to both refrain from reckless moves but that calls being flatly rejected by washington political analyst joseph chang believes that's not helping the situation on the peninsula. certainly not sensible and 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 unite of space in south korea to january. most fear for negotiations will be difficult to expect

beijing to do more while the united states to do anything to bring about a peaceful negotiations. and investigative t.v. documentary in the u.k. claims that a british aid company is inadvertently funding to hardest in syria adam smith international which aims at improving living conditions in third world countries is accused of letting its funding end up in the hands of terrorists let's get more details now we're joined by our correspondent because she's outside adam smith international waters are there polly what exactly is this organization being accused of here. up until last night the british government. even whereby it provided funding towards policing and community services in opposition held areas of syria areas of syria that the government doesn't control and this project was about funding the so-called free syrian police force and it was

implemented by this company and inflamed international where outside the headquarters here in london said i must make international is a think tank a lot being. democratic values around the world it effectively worked as an intermediary so its job was to take the government's money and hand it to the right people in syria but given the chaotic nature of city. war and perhaps the make up of the syrian opposition the b.b.c. is now alleging that british taxpayers' money may have ended up in the hands over extremists as a result of this british government scheme according to documents seen by the investigation police in the. province were forced to hand over cash to an extremist group that was in control of the area that it also claims that the syrian branch of al qaida. had picked police offices for two of

these free syrian police stations in provence and there are allegations that there were dead and fictitious people on the forces payroll now the foreign office has confirmed that funding for this scheme has now been suspended take a listen to what it had to say. we take and the allegations of cooperation with terrorist groups and of human rights abuses extremely seriously and the foreign office has suspended this program while we investigate these allegations. it's important to note that these allegations have already caused a bit of around here in the u.k. adam smith international have called the claims about their work entirely untrue and misleading the company says that it refutes them and that it will pursue every legal avenue in order to defend the reputation of the project and the company itself of course the topic of british foreign aid is one that's highly

controversial there's a lot of public debate about it that's taxpayers' money that's center brought to help all of the countries thirteen billion pounds a year to be precise and many hints say that the government should be spending some of that money instead on things like the public health service and on education so allegations that some of the government's money may have ended up in the hands of extremists it is only going to fuel that argument. here of course it would be the first time in europe has been claims of welfare monies ended up in the wrong hands somewhere down the line of the program on the b.b.c. later for now their party boy can london thanks very much for that. donald trump still to make up his mind over which capital city should be israel will explain that and the potential ramifications after the break.

here's what people have been saying about redacted in night it's your decision to pull on awesome the only show i go out of my way to launch immediately wanted to do some really packs a punch at least yampa is the john oliver of harvey americans do the same we are apparently better than two thousand and six and see people you've never heard of love redacted tonight my president of the world bank go take. me seriously send us an e-mail. when almost seemed wrong but old clothes just don't call. me old yet to shape out these days because active. and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

hello again the u.s. president hasn't yet decided whether to recognize to roost loom as the capital of israel according to senior white house adviser jared cushnie reports emerged last week the trump would consider jerusalem to be the israeli capital but won't move the american embassy there from tel aviv despite an earlier pledge to do so president going to make his decision and. he has only it is 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 you. the reason it's contentious jerusalem of course is a holy city for muslims christians and jews and it's been a key area of dispute between the conflict between israelis and palestinians the israeli government claims to root slim as its capital but most of the international community doesn't recognize it as such if the u.s.

were to recognize that it would likely inflame tensions inside the middle east trumps initiative to move his country's embassy to jerusalem which he outlined on the presidential campaign trail has been condemned by arab league countries there secretary general warns that the proposal would fuel extremism and lead to violence a member of the israeli parliament been discussing the issue on artie's 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 administration 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 on the palestinian israeli issue are very very much a loyal 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 trump is a good news for the palestinian issue. a court case from one sort of the world to the other has seen a peruvian farmer go up against a german energy joyed evidence has been put forward alleging that the company r.w. under to missions are to blame for a glass to your melting in south america. bloke with the two places 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 learn to look at those through this episode and that's why we demand that they install protection measures at our glacial lake it's in most us it would have. been even better or that they should stop contaminating the climate in the future so that all people can survive. the village where sawyer lives is located near a lake in the andes mountains and that flooding could be the result of climate change the dangers posed by the melting ice meant the farmer moved to sue are 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 floods. however r.w. a denies those 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 three years. we are focusing on experts and they're still in the field so you're investing you see million dollars to make the part that. we're investing in a green future. or here's what the farmers lawyer has to say about the case. the current situation in this city your own there is severe flood risk my asking for how the costs will need to be invested in securing relationally further. in the middle east about this is real for us he would also sell gets any money out of the civil suit but what he will get is a determination by a court to ensure that our only we have europe's largest it is half of its

share of those costs or that you do for now will be back again in about thirty five minutes we'll update you on our leading story on the possible face of former yemen president bush is offering internet. about your sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself in taking your last abang turn. your attitude up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry 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 feeling started to change you talked about more like it was

again still some more fun to feel those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral in the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with death this one quite different i speak to you now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker. palestine is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos i'm in bill fails to commission to do it looking like a movie this isn't my cup of tea is going i know phil saviano may be a bit. old john no doubt a tough job but they should be the only palestinians who gets the most help from his jerusalem counterparts i don't think there's some of those who endure under the oak vision that not only could do this. and not there's

a lot that's not as to how to display any of the most of the jihad i'm going to compete in the doesn't seem to do more commitments also don't put this off. with no make this manufacture consent to stick to the public well. when the right wing plus a some protect themselves. with the final merry go round if suddenly the one percent. during the whole middle of the room sit. around being real need.

to do some. says. i. want her. to die.

i was born into tower it was my home for twenty five years. off to sea in the heart of my state i can't see. that not will follow me and my people whose for the rest of our lives. we won't see any shots of the faithful not in this film we never want to see that again. going full for local and good old reasons there's a bigger picture that i love more about every day we talk politics now and how we can take power because we learned that we have to look off to ourselves. grand fell changed everything. it did the consequences we suffered it made the cranes loom in the horizon in different little for any ways no.
