a confrontation has resulted in the death of hundreds of people and also to the to die every ten situation in the the country become trees carol so far there there be answered and also that the salah out so these first confrontations try to escape from the capital sanaa as he was in his way to the to the south of the capital sanaa especially in a way leading to his hometown somehow he was followed by at least twenty one or twenty trucks. there with their. fighters. holed his motorcade and. shot him on the have also shot him on the way there leading to his hometown there are reports that they believe that he was trying to escape to marriage problems.

the saudi arabia has taken control of that. city the country such a news has. has been has sent shock waves. to his loyalists has also forces in the country as many people did not expect that such thing to happen to their leader but so far these incidents also the. group accused. of. making occur again is especially when he delivered a speech during which. he declared to a saudi arabia for direct talks with representational present parliament as their president is a all the nation that has good. certainly not call for talks or seems to have completely inflame the situation there now this is a man who'd been in control of yemen for a long long time it's also been

a period of years of shifting loyalties but that escalation in the past few days i just want to ask you in the few hours of people who had to digest what's happened what are the thoughts of people inside sanaa the public in sanaa what are they making of this. here's a measure that the news sent shock waves to the to his loyalist to many people in the country especially as you mentioned that he has ruled the yemen for over thirty three years. during which the situation was stable but it was under the domination of saudi arabia then he was he has sort of this partnership with these during the saudi war in yemen to reinstate the legitimate president to go and so had he but so far. this his latest decision to return back to the domination of saudi arabia has angered many yemenis

specially as the saudi one has led to the killing of thousands of civilians and also it's a devastating impact of its blockade on the imposed of the country that has resulted in the diary military situation so far these latest decisions by assad has also. angered some yemenis so far but are people his loyalists to confirm or consider such a decision that he. called on saudi arabia to open a new chapter woodruff relations with yemen such a such news also have been welcomed by somebody yemenis. considered it as a coup against the partnership between al sunna law and the people congress party who are owner from before front all the fight against saudi arabia as well and i

guess it's great military goals and you have a. mixed feelings right now in sanaa as a result of what's happened any more changes will be back in touch with the amount of the tab and yemen's capital thanks for that update. a top us 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 that former national security advisor michael flynn was directed by trump to make contact with russia before the election took place but flynn is not believed to have established dialogue until after the vote 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 united states from became the first former white house official to be charged in the so-called russia investigation but jacqueline vogel 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 appropriate for between members of the incoming administration and foreign officials that are working on trigger 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're 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 contacts with the russians which contradicts all that 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 just view it that he ever assured the president that he was not under any kind of investigation. the march the thirtieth again on a. i think. 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. west africa where the country's president has confirmed that

soldiers were killed in a french airstrike in october france thought 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 jack. the with the terrorist hostages and the should be ambiguity about that between our french friends and the us 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 october the french military stationed in africa is part of the anti terrorist operation but hunt carried out a strike targeting the northern part of mali the country's troubled region suffering a lot in the last five years and currently from islamist 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 the discovery of a terrorist cell in the region of lead to

a joint action between the french special forces and operation barkin soldiers this operation allowed us to take out fifteen members of this group but what is surprising in this situation is the reaction of mali's president despite the death of the country's soldiers that could have been killed by mistake and could be considered as collateral damage his reaction is very mordor it is regrettable because unfortunately happen in these types of operations we should. not look for reasons that don't exist why is he doing that it's really hard to say he may have he's at 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 assad's involved and it's really hard to establish where is the truth. new this hour the f.b.i. has been accused of hiding information from lawmakers regarding the removal of

a top agent from the from russia investigation earlier media reports claimed he was dismissed because of bias while our correspondent in new york morgan has the details on this forest. good to see what's going on. well the house committee with the support of donald trump is talking about bringing charges of contempt against leaders of the u.s. justice department because they don't seem to be cooperating with investigations and with calls from the committee at this point we've heard from devon newness his chairing the committee this is what he had to say by hiding from congress and from the american people documented political bias by a key f.b.i. head investigator for both the russian collusion probe and the clinton e-mail investigation the f.b.i. and the do you engage in a willful attempt to thwart congress's constitutional oversight responsibility. now

the committee is demanding that by the end of the day on december fourth the following things take place they are demanding that the f.b.i. director and or mckay have testified before the committee they are demanding that peter strock who was the head of the how the intelligence counterintelligence division of the f.b.i. also testified before the committee now they're also asking and demanding essentially that they handler of christopher steele the former british spy who was the author of the infamous dossier that he also appeared before the committee and they're demanding the documents related to the infamous steel dossier now down trump has tweeted out about the situation he's tweeted that the house of representatives seeks contempt citations against the justice department the f.b.i. for withholding key documents he goes on to call it big stuff deep state demanding that they give this information now that's trump's tweet give this information now

now the catalyst for this confrontation at all essentially began with the revelation that the head of the f.b.i. is counter-intelligence division peter strock apparently exchanged tweets with his mistress was an f.b.i. lawyer working for f.b.i. director andrew mccabe in which he made pro hillary clinton statements and was critical and opposing donald trump and this reveals a potential bias in his investigative work the individual who is leading the f.b.i. investigation into allegations about collusion seems to have had a political agenda according to some who are observing what has taken place so now the committee is demanding full cooperation from the department of justice they want answers about what's going on and if they don't get them it looks like there could be criminal charges charges of contempt of congress leveled against leaders of the department of justice for not cooperating they've been given until the end

of the day on december fourth to comply with the committee's demands a little twists and turns a kind of no doubt you're across it so when the deadline happens we'll be back with you thanks for the. if it wasn't in the news enough already president trump also considering whether recognizing jerusalem as israel's capital will have a lot of reaction to that and also look at the potential consequences after the break. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the senate it's full of the only show i go out of my way to. the really packs of. yap is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than. the c. people you've never heard of redacted the next president of the world bank takes it . seriously send us an e-mail.

seems wrong. just don't. get to shape out. active. and engaged equals betrayal. when some find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back acedia white house advisers says president trump has not yet decided on whether to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel speculation have been rife that he might make the decision this week. person is going to make his

decision and. his decision he's still looking at a lot of different facts and when he makes his decision. he'll be the one to want to tell you no because the reason it's a sensitive and contentious issue is because jerusalem is a holy city for muslims christians and jews it's also been a carrier of disputes in the conflict between israelis and palestinians the israeli government claims israel as its capital but most of the international community doesn't recognize it as such now if the u.s. were to move its embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem they could likely inflame tensions in the middle east trumps initiative to move that embassy reaction here from the arab league where the secretary general says it could lead to fueling extremism and also to violence here's what one israeli m.p. has been saying on hotties 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 they are 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 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 am 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. meanwhile jordan's foreign affairs minister

is warning that the recognition of jerusalem as the israeli capital could have a negative outcome for the arab muslim world jordan's already called an emergency meeting of the organization of islamic cooperation and the arab league on the potential consequences of trump's decision when it's made let's discuss it now it was a journalist a media activist in jordan right now hi there is a mention jordan's called this emergency meeting of tribes decision what can we expect from. what we expect that there really. is asian or islamic countries will come out very strongly against the issue you know for the u.s. doesn't understand the jerusalem is not a palestinian issue alone it is an arab issue it's in the muslim issue and it's an issue of real consequence and sensitivity to millions and over a billion muslims around the world so i think their idea is that they want to make sure washington understand that their tinkering with their very dangerous lives. in a grenade here and it's going to blow up is going to lock in everybody's face and i

think they want to make sure that and his team understand what they're doing when they start playing around with something as sensitive as this city of jerusalem which has a third holiest site for islam has christian locations and usual cations so it has to be done in a very sensitive way and it can be done just as an election ploy to make sure are christians in some of america's bible belt they're happy but so what will be to gain from that because although it was said on a campaign trail lots of things are said in an election campaign and i hesitate to say why not leave well alone in terms of jerusalem status what do you think from would have to gain by doing this. not much i mean he will gain a little bit with his base but you know what's happening in washington is very crazy i mean mr jared kirshner who the son in law of is trying to deal with the issues in fact he had their slowed down in an attempt by the knesset

to create the greater jerusalem but it seems that his power is weakening in washington and mike pence the vice president who is in avenger a local right wing christian from from the bible belt area is the vice president is getting gaining power and i think it's trying to balance a different streams within the u.s. government but as you said it really doesn't help him much there than with his his base is that we can as you see it what's holding him back from making a decision. i think they will try to finesse it i mean it's clear that they were not move the embassy in fact many believe israeli themselves don't want the embassy to be moved this time they will try to make some kind of a statement about jerusalem as being important they might throw in something about jerusalem the israelis believe it's their capital and we are supporting them or something like that but i don't think they will do anything actionable toward jerusalem what about if the u.s. does move if it does happen if it moves from tel aviv to jerusalem is there

a thought that the other countries would just follow suit do the same sort of concern over. most countries i mean the key countries that might be worrisome to palestinians would be the european countries and they've all said clearly and without any ambiguity that they will not follow even if the u.s. does that so i think the u.s. will be alone in any kind of a decision like this and i think this is also making the u.s. think twice before they make a decision on their own you know israel annexed unilaterally east jerusalem to israel against every single country in the world not seeing a country today has an embassy in jerusalem because they understand that this is a sensitive issue and they don't want to kind of hurt or tap the tamper with something that sensitive so i think the u.s. is playing with fire and let's hope that the levelheaded people will try to convince president trump not to play with fire with the lives of people on all sides in jerusalem so meantime we'll keep watch on those talks happening where you often are really appreciated journalist media activist in jordan thanks very much

for your time. about tramaine news a former yemeni president ali abdullah saleh has been killed in fighting in the capital sanaa the video has been released showing his body we're about to show it but please people warn that it is extremely graphic and upsetting to watch. made a public break from the rebel fighters in a speech on saturday let's cross live to security and political analysts who can hopefully give us some more details on this welcome to the program as we've mentioned sally was in charge for a long time there have been shifting allegiances in yemen over the course of this conflict now it seems to have taken a significant turn what do you think the consequences of sally's death are going to be. well first of all former president of yemen al double of saddam was killed apparently today as we've seen in the pictures it's not the first time he switches sides this shift has been

a part of his political career it's not the first time that he changed changed his political position and his alliances now this time was a drastic failure and just a few minutes ago two things actually happened there was the there was a speech by american the they had of the movement known as the who he made the victory speech actually in that speech he actually announced that there is a victory over conspiracy that actually took place as he sees it and this is the second point you raised he called for unity because he realizes that this is a country that is where the politics are very much affected by tribalism so therefore he is he is a very conscious of the fact that the tribes should not actually create a coalition against unsaddled and he has been so far successful in blocking such.

a coalition that you know saudi arabia and its allies in the gulf i trying to create by perhaps you know i would imagine that they have been you know coming in with the financial pressure perhaps by donations by you know the there's a lot of the environment among the in the tribal system so therefore they've been trying to come in with a lot of money and a lot of you know promises for the future apparently these promises and these these these corruption elements did not work because the people of yemen after so many years of saudi bombardment i don't think they're ready to sit and talk with the saudis as if nothing happened so first of all the aggression should stop the siege should stop the you know there are so many people suffering there's not enough food . not enough hospitals the whole infrastructure is destroyed and here we have a tribal leader changing sides and deciding to create a conspiracy against saddam are did not fail miserably and he was killed and

unsolvable are there certain other control they still need more support now that there is the death of a former president in this conflict does it embolden the who feeds is it going to harden the saudis for what we're sitting here going in seem like it's going to make yemen's case worse yes yes i was just saying the second thing that happened a few minutes ago there was a statement by the saudis actually where they threatened to bomb some are tonight so there's going to be more bloodshed this failure in this conspiracy perhaps will push the saudis for more aggression more destruction and that's very unfortunate for the yemeni people but we don't have any good news in the analysis for the yemeni people the important thing on the political level is that the speech of been medical forty is a very important decisive speech because it actually shows the actual measurement we can we can we can listen to it and see what happened on the ground he was able

to defeat this conspiracy in a matter of days ok then taken many months this means that many of the tribes did not go along with the idea of the father so this is a very important indicator now the big big ok we have iran we're out of time i'm sorry about that hopefully we can get more insight from you then on coming out as more reaction comes in but i do appreciate your time on this i'm going to shove it thanks very much for that. report we'll have continuing reaction to that news throughout the coming hours you're watching r.t. international. geysers financial survival does. one customers go by you're disappointed. in elf well reducible our. best undercutting but what's good for food markets it's not

good for the global economy. there is no center in the united states political discourse it's all center right ever since the clinton people came into power the center right has become the right and there is no peace party that exists in my country and i don't see any evidence of it except this third party that is so criticized the green party. they call me a useful idiot i mean you called me a useful idiot useful idiot useful idiots go expressing my opinions on t.v. there's two things missed doing it behind his record is

a simple strategy we attack persons instead of talking about the arc of what's next why stop me from getting this close to the white house i'm with a group code pink why not ban the color pink one hour stretch beyond the right i should be sent to the town because i want to try to break me on the we'll put up with a long time of this sort of nonsense you don't scare me and i'll continue to voice my opinion i'll continue to speak out i'm in good company i'm in good company you give me you want to do this because we are free thinkers. hello and welcome to crossfire for all things you consider and i'm peter lavelle

michael flynn.
