3:01 pm

a local journalist in the yemeni capital believes there's been a clear divide among yemenis over sally's dealings with the saudis this latest decision to turn back to the domination of saudi arabia has angered many yemenis pressuring the saudi whereas to the killing of. thousands of civilians and also it's a devastating impacts of its blockade will be imposed of the country. such a decision that the. saudi arabia to offer their new. releases would be. such a search your news also have been welcomed by some yemenis meanwhile the u.n. says it cannot confirm the safety of its star in santa at the moment and fear is there will be more instability and violence in the country security and political analyst. police the saudi led coalition could soon retaliate heavily for the death
3:03 pm
of the politician. it's not the first time he switches sides this shift has been part of his political career it's not the first time that he changed his political position and his alliances this time was a drastic failure the people of yemen after so many years of saudi bombardment i don't think they were ready to sit and talk with the saudis as if nothing happened there was a statement by the saudis actually where they threatened to bomb some are tonight or 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. somali in west africa now where the country's president has confirmed that mali and soldiers were killed in a french airstrike in october the french army earlier said that their operation targeted forces that had deserted to join and is the misc group is now believed
3:04 pm
those soldiers had been taken hostage by the jihadists. the hostages and the should be. between french friends 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 as 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 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 but what is surprising in this situation is the reaction of president despite the death of the country's soldiers that could have been killed by mistake and could be considered
3:05 pm
as collateral damage his reaction is very moderate it's regrettable unfortunate happen in these types of operations which should. exist why is he doing that it's really hard to say he may have his that 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 . reporting there were political analyst police there is more to the mahdi in presence wording the meets the eye. don't forget that it was the mali and interim government which invited the french soldiers over there and france for historical request oracle reasons has a lot of power in mali today so i think you know she is holding back it is however quite surprising that he's going public with such a statement and saying that france so should acknowledged that it is responsible
3:06 pm
for such an attack this is rare in such a situation that the my it incinerate that france is actually lying on this situation so i definitely think there is a that this is an agenda between a book and the french government today something is probably going is being discussed right now don't forget that twenty eighteen is going to be a new year a lot of elections local regional and presidential elections so this may have to be to do with something between negotiating between france and political parties today and in my own. that is being claimed that a british aid companies inadvertently funding jihadists in syria adam smith international which doesn't aim at improving living conditions in third world countries accused of letting its funding end up in the hands of terrorists according to the t.v. documentary which will be broadcast in britain in a few hours. as more. but up until last night the british government harvest
3:07 pm
scheme whereby it provided funding for policing and community projects in opus dition held areas of syria and this project was all about funding the so-called free syrian police and it was implemented by a company called adam smith international its offices are in this building in london and adam smith international is a think tank it's a lobbying group and it also promotes democratic reforms around the world given the chaotic nature of civil war and given the makeup of the syrian opposition an investigation done by b.b.c. panorama now alleges that some of that government money may have ended up in the hands of extremists as a result according to the documents seen by this investigation police in the l'equipe province to force to hyundai of a cash to the extremist group that was in control of the area that it also claims
3:08 pm
that the syrian braunches al qaida to battle nuestra kind hand picked the offices for two of the so-called free syrian police forces in the aid live province there are also allegations that there were dead and fictitious people on this force's payroll and the foreign office has now confirmed that it has suspended the funding towards the ajax scheme not the access to justice and community security scheme in syria take a listen with 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 called somewhat of a brown hair in the u.k. adam smith international have called the allegations entirely. untrue and
3:09 pm
misleading they put out a statement saying that it refutes the claims and will pursue every legal avenue to defend the reputation of the project and the company as well the chalk pick of britain's foreign aid is highly controversial here it's one that's been part of the public debate here because it's all about taxpayers' money being censored brought to help other countries thirteen billion pounds a year to be precise and many here say that the government should be spending at least some of that money on funding things like the national health service or education instead so allegations that some government money could be getting into the hands of extremists in syria is only going to fuel that argument. a top us political reporter working for a.b.c. news has been suspended without pay after making false claims about potential collusion between trump and moscow he stated that former national security advisor

michael flynn was directed by trying to make contact with russia before the election took place but flynn is not believed to have established dialogue until after the vote transformer it has been 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. for then became the first former white house official to be charged in the so-called russian investigation but. 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 appropriate about between members of the incoming administration and foreign
3:11 pm
officials that are what's 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 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
3:12 pm
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 . although to be fair he's far from alone when it comes to reporting especially when it comes to stories on russia. will dispute that he ever assured the president that he was not under any kind of
3:13 pm
investigation. the march the thirtieth of. april eleventh as well 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 up. the f.b.i. has been threatened with legal action after it was accused of hiding information from lawmakers the u.s. house intelligence committee says the agency does need to explain why it dropped a key agent in the so-called russia investigation from new york is. well the u.s. lawmakers on the house intelligence committee want information from the f.b.i.
3:14 pm
and if they don't get it there could be criminal charges for contempt now at this point what the committee wants to find out is why top f.b.i. investigator who was looking into trump in the allegations of russian collusion and such they want to know why he was fired now reports seem to indicate that he was fired for an anti trump an anti republican bias that can committee has set monday as the day that they want to know they want testimony and they want answers from the f.b.i. this is devon newness the chair of the house intelligence committee explaining their frustration. by hiding from congress and from the american people documented political bias by a key head investigator for both the russian collusion probe the clinton investigation the f.b.i. and the do you engage in a willful attempt to thwart congress's constitutional oversight responsibility so
3:15 pm
if information is not provided with monday being the deadline it appears that legal action could be taken against the department of justice and the f.b.i. now republicans are pointing to peter strock and his possible bias as proof that the investigation into russia and donald trump may be politically motivated from the beginning so now in his usual style donald trump got on twitter and he spoke up and was highly critical of the f.b.i. he said that the reputation of the f.b.i. is in tatters and he said that it's tainted he called the f.b.i. dishonest now the house and house intelligence committee says that they want answers from the department of justice about why this topic agent was fired they want answers they want information and if they don't get it this will be going to court. a senior white house advisor meanwhile says that president trump has
3:16 pm
not yet decided on whether to recognize to resign them as the capitol this speculation has been rife he might make the decision this week. president's going to make his decision and. this 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 well jerusalem is a holy city for muslims christians and also jesus and it's been a key area of dispute in the conflict between israelis and palestinians the israeli government claims that jerusalem is its capital but most of the international community doesn't recognize it as such however if the u.s. were to recognize it it would likely inflame tensions in 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 the arab countries in fact their secretary general warns the proposal would fuel extremism and also lead to violence
3:17 pm
a similar sentiment from jordan's foreign affairs minister here he warned of a negative outcome for the whole of the arab and muslim world jordan has already called an emergency meeting of the organization of islamic cooperation and the arab league on the potential consequences of trump's decision journalists media activists died khattab thinks that the u.s. doesn't understand how sensitive the she weighs not seeing the country today has an embassy in jerusalem because they are understand that this is a sensitive issue and they don't want to kind of her tamper with something that sensitive so i think the u.s. is playing with fire the u.s. doesn't understand that 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 in over a billion muslims around the world so i think the the idea is that they want to make sure washington understand that there is tinkering with their very dangerous
3:18 pm
lives. in a grenade here and if it's going to blow up we're going to lob in everybody's face . now by tomorrow we should know russia's fate in the upcoming winter olympics in south korea and whether it will be hit by a blanket ban the international olympic committee is due to meet in the zan in switzerland to discuss the findings of two commissions into alleged state sponsored don't bring in russia well just ahead of that meeting an interview with a key figure in the dating scandal has been released it takes up the story. this further they could still be anything has got plenty of options from a blanket ban of the entire russian team to giving an option to the sporting federations the international ones to decide on specific disciplines and and the vigil athletes when it comes to making decisions on either the young chang twenty eighteen the limbic hopefuls or saatchi champions or both so far the i.o.c.
3:19 pm
has been sticking to an individual approach in all cases are being looked at separately which does give hope to the russian athletes however as the investigation continues the man who was behind all the end her work in accusations in the first place the former head of moscow's anti-doping laborde three grigori watching call of keeps coming up with more things to blame the russians for just to remind you mr raja in call of is wanted over criminal charges in russia after he fled the country and disgrace he is called a whistleblower by the western media and the i.o.c. calls him a credible witness well ahead of the international olympic committee's verdict a video interview with mr watching called surface and the russian media where one of the things that he's talking about is apparently his motivation.
3:20 pm
the minister. is that a seeing this. is this is. what mr rotten cover is referring to the documentary film he's talking about the curse film which brought up the russian doping scandal and he was one of the main contributors to it but it looks like from what he said that there are always folks that are ready to offer plenty of cash for what the doctor says or what he allegedly has how this affects his motivation you can decide for yourself but let's move on and listen to another bit of that interview sushil
3:21 pm
going to. east. you know. there is. if you actually. feel. so once again in a nutshell grigori watching cover just refer to his all lab as one of the two almighty laborde it is allegedly capable of cheating both ways to clear the russian team of positive doping tests or to destroy the russian sport and entirely for a few years so you might as well bear all that in mind when you listen to the international olympic committee delivering its verdict on wednesday evening when you hear words
3:22 pm
like credible witness trusted evidence the international olympic committee stands by all that evidence but remember that mr rajan cough said it out loud that he received a whole lot of money for that evidence. now activists broke into an apple store in paris over the weekend demanding the company pay a thirteen billion euro fine. the. war. was the protesters were seen holding banners saying we will stop when apple pays and pay your taxes they occupied the store for several hours and only left when they were assured a meeting with the company's management team were similar demonstrations took place across france the background to this year ago the rule that ireland had applied
3:23 pm
preferential rules to apple allowing it a lower tax rate than other companies registered their european commission then ordered apple to pay thirteen billion euros but the company has appealed the decision a spokesperson for the activists in france say they will continue to protest until the tax bill is paid we know very well that up always great to be has as much as it can to gain or escape the taxation but we are not going to try to stop or we're actions and we're going to put pressure on the government of the european commission so that this is this operation bridge strikes as. we go on and we know very well that apple is going to try to move to change the strategy group this will stop this. so the nato members considering a more aggressive approach to tackling state sponsored hacking they say cyber attacks could also be an option however there could be some hidden pit forced to is
3:24 pm
not against the express. first came. then navy's air force is next now there are cyber nice there is a change in the mindset so except the computer is 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 seventeen they're now talking about a sense of capabilities offense 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
3:25 pm
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
3:26 pm
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. now a court case from one side of the world to be other has seen
3:27 pm
a peruvian farmer go up against a high profile energy company in germany evidence has been put forward alleging that w. we and its emissions are to blame for a glacier melting in south america. the two cleese's up there are blocks of ice that hang over the lake and make big mushrooms. only day now they could fall down in an avalanche. but in the middle 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 move this up with us and that's why we demand that they install protection measures at our glacial lake it's 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 the fuel as he put. the village where lives there is located near a glacier

3:29 pm

3:30 pm
it's all to see we have a great see what we need to strengthen before the freefall world cold and your bets have been a legend to keep it so i took it back. in ninety ninety two that must qualify for the european championships at the very last moment no one believed in us but we won and i'm hoping to bring some of that waving spirit to the r.c.c. . recently i've had a lot of practice so i can guarantee you that peter schmeichel will be on the best fall since my last world cup i was in the throws or as we've. both an old joke. here i called russia.
