broadcasting live the rest from our studios in moscow this is art international thomas glad to have you with us now we begin in yemen where former president. saleh has been killed in fighting in the capital sanaa video has been released showing his body now please be aware that the footage that we're about to show you is extremely graphic and upsetting to see. at the helm of yemen in one thousand nine hundred two thousand and twelve and was ousted during the arab spring the internal conflict that ensued saw him team up with the hoop the rebels against president hadi however made a public break from the rebel fighters in a speech on saturday former allies saw this move as a betrayal and moved 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 the car that you see here is believed to be one he was trying to escape in militants claim son is now under their control of the militias defeated it will journalist in

the yemeni capital believes there is then they clear divide among yemenis oversell lazy dealings with the saudis. decision to turn back to the domination of saudi arabia has angered many yemenis specially as the saudi world has led to the killing of. thousands of civilians and also it's a devastating impact over its blockade 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. and the u.n. says it cannot confirm the safety of its staff at the moment and fears there will be more instability and violence in the country security and political analyst on our national day 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 now 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 will push the saudis for more aggression more destruction and that's very unfortunate for the yemeni people. to mali in west africa now where the country's president has confirmed its soldiers were killed in a french airstrike in october now the french army earlier said their operation targeted forces that had deserted to join in is the most group is now believed

those soldiers had been taken hostage by just. 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 the missed by islands 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. look for breeds 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 assad's involved and it's really hard to establish where is the truth political analyst coverture believes that there is more to the mali president's warding than meets the eye. forget that it was the mali an 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 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 geodes in syria adam smith international which aims at improving living conditions in the 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 r.t. 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 into not 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 the documents seen by this investigation police in the lefkow province were forced to hyundai the cash to the extreme that it also claims that the syrian braunches al qaida to battle nuestra hand in hand picked the offices for two of the so-called free syrian police forces in the eighty's live provence 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 to 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 misleading they put out a statement saying that it refutes the. every legal avenue to defend the reputation of the project and the company as well as the child pick of britain's foreign aid

is highly controversial here is one that's been part of public debate because it's all about tax payers 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. the top u.s. 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 believed to have established dialogue until after the vote trump's former aide 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 us became the first former white house official to be charged in the so-called russian investigation but as comments fake news is masking what the probe into alleged collusion actually has 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 good about. members of the incoming administration and foreign officials that are working 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 flint 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 dispute it that he ever assured the president that he was not under any kind of investigation. the march to thirtieth and again on a i think on april eleventh tell them 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 stories out of the bag the retraction does little to put it back at. 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 the hillary clinton over her use of a private e-mail server well i feel badly for journals and i feel very badly. very wrong rice and i feel very badly i will say this hillary lies many times says nothing after through or when the lies destroyed his life i think it's a shame. earlier and you'll mccabe a washington based political journalist and editor of big league politics joins us to shed more light on this and his opinion he believes that flynn's crime pales in comparison to actions allegedly taken by former presidential candidate hillary

clinton. it's not only a double standard it's it's a question of magnitude where 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. is 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 and for the record we should mention that in july two thousand and sixteen an f.b.i. investigation cleared then candidate hillary clinton for any criminal responsibility for maintaining a private e-mail server during her time as secretary of state now there is more on the russian investigators coming up the f.b.i. is now in hot water on capitol hill after one of its top agents was removed from the case over possible bias the details on that story and much more a short break this is our confession.

with no let me just manufactured and sentenced to public will. when the ruling closest protect them so. when the crime and. listen to the whims of the. time with no middle of the room sick. to be relieved to. see wealth concentration the bureaucratic concentration is sapping the economic vitality from this entrepreneurial nation called america and the machinations and the costs associated there with of keeping the serious 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. and the f.b.i. has been threatened with legal action after it was accused of hiding information from lawmakers u.s. house intelligence committee says the agency needs to explain why it dropped a key agent the so-called rush investigation from new york artie's come up and 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 tromp 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 noone is the chair of the house intelligence committee explaining their frustration by hiding from congress from the american people who documented. investigates both the russian collusion probe. investigation 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. now a senior white house adviser says president trump has not yet decided on whether to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel speculation has been rife that he might make a decision even this week. president's going to make his decision and. he hasn't made this decision he's still looking at a lot of different facts and that when he makes this decision. he'll be the want to want to tell you. you know 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 now the israeli government claims to islam as its capital but most of the international community does not recognize it as such if the u.s.

were to recognize it would likely inflame tensions in the middle east to dramatically 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 there secretary general warns that the proposal would fuel extremism and even lead to violence there was similar sentiment from jordan's foreign affairs minister he warned of a negative outcome for all 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 terms decision journalist and media activist. thinks that the us does not understand how sensitive the issue actually is not seeing the country today has an embassy in jerusalem because they understand that this is a sensitive issue they want to kind of heard so i think the u.s. is playing with fire 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 really consequence of insensitivity to millions and over a billion muslims around the world so i think the their idea is that they want to make sure washington understand that they're tinkering with a very dangerous lie. in a grenade here and it's going to blow up we're going to blow up in everybody's face . russia's fate in the upcoming winter olympics in sochi. excuse me in south korea while and whether it will be hit by a blanket ban is just to be decided on tuesday and the international olympic committee is due to meet in switzerland to discuss the findings of two commissions and alleged state sponsored doping in russia now just ahead of that meeting an interview with a key figure in the doping scandal has been released but he's really trying to take up the story for us. this fur ticked in laws wrong 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 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. 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 anti-abortion accusations and 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. the minister. is that after seeing this. in the existing. one 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 going it's going to be if you going to. east. you know he's you know it's a new thing with. these effects that you need. if you actually need. a school and a cd. so once again in a nutshell grigori watching comes just refer to his all lab as one of the two almighty laborde terrys 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 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 there's a for me i will be back in about thirty four minutes with a full look at your news you are watching our international live amongst them.

was. all. they call me a useful idiot i mean you called me a useful idiot a useful idiot useful idiots go expressing my opinions on t.v. there are still sins of us doing it behind his record is the same strategy we attack persons instead of talking about the org what's next why stop there you'll

ban 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 rock i should be sent to the town because i want to try to break me on the wheel but out 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 in good company i'm in good company you're going to lose me you want to do this because we are free thinkers. 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 reich 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.

hello and welcome the cross for all things you considered i'm peter lavelle michael flynn admits 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. talking some real news i'm joined by my guest mark sloboda he's an international affairs and security analyst we also have victor levitt he is a political analyst as well as a leading expert at the center for actual politics and of course we have dmitri bob each is a political analyst with sputnik international all right gentlemen crosstalk roles in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want i always appreciate picture

let me go to you first here. michael flynn i'm not surprised that he admitted to lying to the f.b.i. i think everybody knew that the media and a field day with that they stumbled with it is well what are the implications of this is that the beginning of something for the end of something it's it's the beginning of something that's not very good for the temp of the station. and you know looking at it from the point of view what flynn actually did wrong all the charge here with was lang you know to they have be i almost a non charge would have the same time they did because flynn has decided to flip and he's going to they expect him to give evidence to give testimony that they will be able to use that robert and his team will be able to use to bring down people closer to term and of course from the very beginning their original target was not

flynn it wasn't planning for it it wasn't. brigade's it was the temple was one of the pows of course they don't care by these people in the in fact in any other situation in any other election year or post election year nobody would get charged for these types of i mean if their target is stump and miller miller is not going to stop until he brings down the american that's his goal if he could get there mark because it seems to me and i've talked to some legal people about this is that if there were something more serious it would be some kind of conspiracy.
