graphic and disturbing video emerges showing the body of yemen's former president ali abdullah saleh is understood to have been killed by hooty fighters after an alliance between them collapsed last week. president of mali contradicts the french account of an airstrike in northern mali in october saying the bombardment killed soldiers and not jihad ists. and another retraction from a major us media outlet over coverage of the scandal surrounding the white house and the team trumps alleged collusion with russia. for broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is r.t. international i'm john thomas certainly glad to have you with us now we begin in

yemen where former president ali abdullah saleh has been killed in fighting in the capital sanaa a video has been released showing his body now please be aware that the footage we're about to show you is extremely graphic and upsetting to see what was at the helm of yemen from one thousand nine hundred ninety two thousand and twelve and was ousted during the arab spring the internal conflict that ensued saw him team up with the rebels against president hadi however salai made a public break from the rebel fighters in a speech on saturday so his former allies saw this move as a betrayal and move to drive forces loyal to him out of the capital sanaa. who the rebels say that the politician was killed while he was trying to flee the city now the car you can see is believed to be the one he was trying to escape in the shia militants claim is now under their control with. defeated a local journalist in the many capital believes there has been

a clear divide among yemenis oversell dealings with the saudis. this latest decision to turn back to the domination of saudi arabia has angered many yemenis pressure the. saudi one has led to the killing of. thousands of civilians and also it's a devastating impact its blockade will be imposed of the country. such a decision betty. for. saudi arabia to offer then you. will for relations with. such news also have been welcomed by some yemenis. the u.n. says it cannot confirm the safety of its staff at the moment and fears that there will be more instability and violence in the country security and political analyst . believes the saudi led coalition could soon retaliate heavily for the death 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 the night so there's going to be more bloodshed this failure in this conspiracy and perhaps would push the saudis for more aggression more destruction and that's very fortunate for the yemeni. to mali in west africa now where the country's president has confirmed its soldiers were killed in a french airstrike in october the french army earlier said that their operation targeted forces that had deserted to join an islamist group it is now believed those soldiers had been taken hostage by august. the with the hostages and the should be. between french friends and 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 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 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 moderate it's regrettable unfortunate happen in these types of operations we should. 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 political analyst. believes that there is more to the mali president's warding of than 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 article reasons has a lot of power in mali today so i think you know he 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 for such an attack this is rare in such a situation that they my insinuate that france is actually lying on this situation

so i definitely think there's a that this is an agenda between kate and and the french government today something is probably going is being discussed right now don't forget that twenty eight thousand is going to be a year of a lot of elections in mali 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. it is claimed that a british aid company is inadvertently funding it jihad assist 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 according to a t.v. documentary broadcast in britain artie's publico has more. well up until last night the british government harvest scheme whereby it provided funding for policing and community projects in oprah's ition 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 it's 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 were forced to hyundai the cash to the extremist group that was in control of the area that it also claims that the syrian braunches fired at your battle nuestra kind hand picked the offices for two of these so-called free syrian police forces in the aide 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 that is 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. and adam smith international have called the allegations entirely. untrue and misleading they put out a statement saying that it refutes the claims every legal avenue to defend the reputation of the project and the company as well pick of britain's foreign aid is highly controversial here is one that's been part of public debate because it's all

about the times is money being censored brought to help 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 arguments. 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 trump to make contact with russia before the election took place but flynn is not believed to have established dialogue until after the vote trumps former aide and has been making headlines since friday when the he pleaded guilty to lying to the f.b.i.

about his contacts with the then russian ambassador to the us became of the first former white house official to be charged in the so-called russia investigation but as. comments fake news is making him asking rather 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. members of the incoming administration and foreign officials that are works on trees 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 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 . although to be fair he's far from alone when it comes to reporting especially when it comes to stories on russia. will disputed that he ever assured the president that he was not under any kind of investigation. the march the thirtieth again on a i think on a pro level just 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 out. meanwhile donald trump has hit out at the f.b.i. saying it ruined the life of his former aide michael flynn he also hinted at double standards in how the agency treated hillary clinton over her use of a private e-mail server well i feel badly for you and i feel very badly. very wrong rice and i feel very badly john i will say this hillary lies many times says yes we are nothing half a sewer when lies and they destroyed his life i think it's a shame. earlier meal of mccabe a washington based political journalist and editor at big league politics joins us to shed more light on this he believes flynn's crime pales in comparison to actions

allegedly taken by former presidential candidate hillary clinton it's only a double standard it's it's a question of magnitude where you know general flynn literally told a fib to some f.b.i. agents who were setting up an obstruction trap whereas hillary clinton had this entire enterprise of secret e-mails and deleting e-mails under subpoena and then lying about the e-mails that are under subpoena and then members of her entourage who are sort of working back and forth between witnesses and and investigators and then there then the f.b.i. somehow gives them all immunity and needed this whole sort of enterprise around hillary clinton and then really what did mike flynn do pretty much nothing what's happening is the f.b.i.'s inspector general michael e. horowitz is investigating that right now which is why we found out that two people from the f.b.i. were taken off of robert muller's team. because of the sort of funny business going

on inside that investigation and it just seems like every time a republican wins the white house the democrats will spend a year or two or maybe longer just trying to invalidate that election the f.b.i. is in hot water on capitol hill after one of its top agents was removed from the russian investigators over possible bias the details on that and much more after a short break you are watching our two international.

the concentration of the bureaucratic concentration is sapping the economic vitality from this entrepreneurial nation called america and the machinations and the cost associated there way of keeping the prison population in place are draining money away from all aspects of society and you've got the problems that you would normally associate with the ghetto like people nodding out in the middle of the day in the middle of the street. welcome back this is our team international now 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 needs to explain why i dropped

a key agent in the so-called russian investigation from new york here's our and with commentary. well the u.s. lawmakers on the house intelligence committee want information from the f.b.i. 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 and 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 noone is the chair of the house intelligence committee explaining their frustration by hiding from congress i'm from the american people documented political bias by a key head investigator for both the russian collusion probe the investigation the

f.b.i. and the do you engage in a willful attempt to thwart constitutional oversight responsibility so 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 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. the senior white house adviser says president trump has not yet decided on whether to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel the speculation has been rife that he might make a decision this week even 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 want to want to tell your nominee. and jerusalem is a holy city for muslims christians and jews and it has been a key area of dispute in the conflict between israelis and palestinians the israeli government claims jerusalem as its capital but most of the international community doesn't recognize it as such now if the u.s. were to recognize it as the capital it would likely inflame tensions in the middle east now trumps initiative to move his country's embassy to jerusalem which he outlined on the presidential campaign trail has been condemned by the arab league countries now there secretary general warns that the proposal would fuel extremism

and lead to violence there was similar sentiment from jordan's foreign affairs minister 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 the islamic cooperation and the arab league on the potential consequences of trumps decision journalists and media activist daoud kuttab thinks that the u.s. does not understand how sensitive the issue actually is. not a single 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 to 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 their idea is that they want to

make sure washington understand that there's tinkering with their very dangerous lives. in a grenade here and it's going to blow up we're going to lob in everybody's face. russia's fate in the upcoming winter olympics in south korea and whether it will be hit by a blanket ban is to be decided on tuesday the international olympic committee is due to meet in lausanne switzerland to discuss the findings of two commissions into alleged state sponsored doping in russia just ahead of that meeting an interview with a key figure in the doping scandal has been released we're trying to take up the story for us. this fur ticked in laws long it 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 individual 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. 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 to 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 rajan called 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.

the minister. is that a seeing the same. one mr rotten cover is referring to the documentary film he's talking about the a 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 going it's going to be.

going to. east. you know he's you know. he thinks you know. we didn't know if you actually knew yet. so once again in a nutshell grigori watching cup just refer to his all lab as one of the two almighty laborde theories it is allegedly capable of cheating both ways to clear the russian team of positive doping tests or to destroy the russian sport and tiredly 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 like credible witness trusted evidence the international olympic committee stands by all that evidence but remember that mr raja in call of said it out loud that he received a whole lot of money for that evidence and those are for me i'll be back in just under thirty five minutes you are watching aren't international have with us. all see we have a great team but we need to strengthen before the free float world and you're better than a legend to keep it so i took it back. in ninety ninety two that much 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 in the best form since my last. well i think the last throws are as proof. of an old joke though he did it here i call rush. life dr. left left left more or less ok stuff that's really good that. everybody i'm stephen baldwin task hollywood guy suspects every proud american first of all i'm just george washington and r.v. to suggest this is my buddy max famous financial guru and we're just a little bit different i'm not. going to run your windows up with all the drama happening in our country i'm shooting the road have some fun meet everyday americans. and hopefully start to bridge the gap this is the great

american to. what politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat want to listen. to the right to cross the sea like them before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the wives in the house. or said. michael flynn emits lying to the f.b.i. the reaction of russia gators and the liberal media is jubilation but why flynn's admission in fact deflates the now popular conspiracy theory.

i was born to go full time 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. grenfell changed everything. it did the consequences we saw fit to make the trains loom in the horizon and different morph anyways no i live in cannes in the chelsea it's one of the richest areas in the whole country but the north where we live has one of the highest concentration of people of low incomes. the growing inequality is pushing so many out the area it's obvious global capital has no the god for people like me it's the same story the world over from but into rio madrid to new york but

maybe because we haven't such prime minister well. we have to live through could be a warning for you all so i set out to learn from those who in the know allowed here and tell you about. they want to paris model. where they push everyone out to the outskirts in a suburb where you can easily control that outside of the in a circle where they have taken over and you've got to have a certain income to even feed it was the only reason you're going to be going into is to commute and go to work and do some menial task and come back out again and go back to the suburbs they look at this particular area as a gold mine and the thing that's preventing them from being able to mine that gold is that the presence of the people here on social housing they went by when.
