what if 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 but being my insinuate that france is actually lying on this situation so i definitely think there is that this is an agenda between kate 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 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 no. it is claimed that a british aid company is inadvertently funding 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 what happens to that cash when it gets over the border into syria that really matters. as we've discovered some of it

ends up in the hands of extremists or to go has the details on the allegations. well up until last night the british government harvest scheme whereby it provided funding for policing and community projects in opus addition 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 aleppo province were forced to hyundai of a cache to the extremist group that was in control of the area that it also claims that the syrian branch of al qaida to battle nuestra hand hand picked the offices for two of these 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 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. 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 trying to say is money being sensible 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.

a top u.s. political reporter working for a.b.c. news has been suspended without pay after making false claims about potential collusion between team trump and moscow he stated 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. 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. plane that became the first former white house official to be charged in the so-called russia investigation but explained 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 for tax between members of the incoming administration and foreign officials no matter what country they're for you know right now and again this is an ongoing we have no. you know no common dirt no problem with them doing search 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 the from family and all those 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 person 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.

if you 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 i told 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. all right 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 i will say this hillary many times says nothing halfway through or when the lies destroyed his life i think it's a shame. earlier neil mccabe a washington based political journalist and editor at big league politics joined us to give his opinion and shed 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 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 hellary 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 well for the record we should mention that in july two thousand and sixteen an f.b.i. investigation cleared then candidate hillary clinton of any criminal responsibility for maintaining a private e-mail server during her time as secretary of state. 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 agency needs to explain why it dropped

a key agent in the so-called russian vessel geisha in from new york here is artie's company. 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 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 i'm from the american people documented political bias by a key head investigates 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 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 switching gears now a senior white house adviser says president trump has not yet decided whether to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel speculation has been rife that he might make that decision even this week president's going to make his decision and 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 one to want to tell your nominee. all right 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 it jerusalem as its capital but most of the international community does not recognize it as such now if the u.s. were to recognize it it would likely inflame tensions in the middle east to dramatically 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 secretary general warns that the proposal would fuel extremism and lead to violence and there was similar sentiment from jordan's foreign minister foreign affairs minister rather 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 trump's decision journalist and media activist daoud kuttab 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 and they don't want to kind of her 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 and over a billion muslims around the world so i think. the idea is that they want to make

sure washington understand that there tinkering with their very dangerous. in a grenade here and if it's going to blow up we're going to log 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 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 and takes up a story. 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 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 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 if you.

even believe. it's going to. 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

going to. be going to. east. you know. there is you know. we didn't lose you if you actually knew. this school. so once again in a nutshell grigori watching 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 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 said it out loud that he received a whole lot of money for that evidence. activists broke into an apple store in paris over the weekend demanding the company pay a fine of thirteen billion euros. i . was just i. was the protesters were seen holding banners saying we'll stop when apple pays and pay your taxes the occupy the store for several hours and only left when they were assured a meeting with the company's management team would take place similar demonstrations took place across france as well or year ago the e.u. ruled that ireland had applied preferential rules to apple allowing it

a lower tax rate than other companies registered there the european commission ordered apple to pay thirteen billion euros but the company has appealed the decision a spokesperson for the activists in france says it will continue to protest until the tax bill is paid we know very well that apple is going to play. as much as it can to gain you know over escapee taxation but we don't know if it's going to stop i will actions and we're going to put pressure on the government of the european commission so that this this operation to the stocks so. we do go and we know very well that awful is going to try to move to change the strategy but this won't stop us. right seven nato members are 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 pitfalls as

artie's modesty of comments. first came. then navy's air force is next now there are a cyber nice there is a change in the mindset so except the computer is just like a 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 seven seed 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 off tentatively or you're doing it defensive plays 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 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. does it for me this hour i'll be back with headlines in about thirty one minutes from now you are watching our international incheon thomas and glad to have you with us.

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. the 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 this year's prison population in place are geraniums 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. pleasurable. this is boom bust broadcast around the world from washington d.c. on bart chilton filling it in and i'm down to the sweeney coming up as the digital world continues to evolve the amount of money going into this start of face is staggering in the united states alone more than one point two trillion was raised by initial coin operating will go to hong kong. i see as and how this new and evolving world can add here to the best practices that will make digital business is more efficient and secure for average investors and the u.s.

senate passed their version of tax reform in the early hours saturday two am or something like that and can their accommodation be made to.
