u.s. former intelligence chief james clapper claims president trump is being handled as an asset by vladimir putin. on the first anniversary of the deadly christmas market attack in berlin germany's justice minister has admitted areas in their response to the atrocity ttyl to the people who lost loved ones. on the u.k. parliamentary committee talks fake news and alleged russian meddling in numerous country's elections but fails to even get its own facts straight. you're not used to say we would like to offer it to the point of view of the. he's holed up in the furnace for them.

good evening and thanks for joining us my name is neil harvey this is our international. america's former intelligence chief james clapper claims that vladimir putin is handling donald trump as a resource for the grid case saucer. putin knows he knows how to handle it and that's what he's doing with the president. joining me live on the line now more big news in new york caleb just sum it up for is there why such a strong reaction. well the words from james clapper the former director of intelligence they were in reaction to words from donald trump now we recently in a speech u.s. president donald trump emphasized the importance of cooperation between the u.s. and russia and pointed out that u.s. forces and russian forces had recently collaborated and actually prevented

a terrorist attack in st petersburg this is donald trump they were able to apprehend these terrorists before the event. with no loss of life and that's a great thing and the way it's supposed to work that is the way it's supposed to work. so then james clapper is reacting to that statement and he says now it's important to be clear he says that he is not opposed to cooperation between the usa and russia in order to fight terrorism and such however in his remarks he said that this is a one way street and said that russia never returns the favor and cooperates with the united states well the record seems to indicate things to the contrary now when james clapper was director of the national security agency there were instances where russian authorities approached u.s. authorities about one of the design of brothers one of the people who perpetrated

the bombing in boston and repeatedly indicated that this this individual one of the two brothers who carried out the horrendous bombing at the boston marathon repeatedly pointed out that this individual was dangerous and potentially a terrorist now that is an example of russia going out of its way to help u.s. authorities and try to prevent terrorist attacks at that point james clapper who made these comments saying it's a one way street at that point he was director of the n.s.a. so he should have been fully aware of that taking place now it's pretty clear that james clapper has some rather strong opinions about people in russia and about russians that this is a comment that he made in the past let's take a listen to what he said the russians who typically almost genetically driven to co-opt. poetry to. gain

favor. now certainly not a mild statement but at this point out donald trump says he is willing to cooperate with russia in order to prevent terrorist attacks and let me emphasize james clapper said he is not opposed to such a thing but it seems that some of his strong views about russia have really kind of been aired and that he's been you know unrestrained in making them public so quite an interesting situation to watch and to driven to say rather foolish things as well. many thanks now as we just heard on monday don't trouble outlined his vision of the world and america's role in it in a key national security speech like this predisposes is not letting go of the idea of u.s. exceptionalism america has been among the greatest forces for peace and justice in the history of the world a strategy is to advance american influence in the world the american people are generous america will lead again when the american people speak all of us should

listen in a statement the u.s. defense secretary backed the president's security plan james mattis said that the new strategy will ensure american diplomats quote always speak from a position of strength in his speech trump outlined russia and china as rival powers challenging america's influence in the world the two countries are also accused of developing advanced weaponry that could threaten u.s. infrastructure or the trump did say that attempts must be made to build partnerships with the beijing has branded washington's approach as outdated. we urge the u.s. to stop deliberately distorting china and spirit are dated ideas such as a quantum or a mentality in coalition otherwise it will hurt others and destroy itself because science professor joseph chang thinks it's in america's interest to have competition. the chinese leadership responds in saying that it would like to

have a new type of major power relationship with the united states meaning no major confrontations no major. challenges and so on the united states needs enemies of to put it more nicely strategic competitors. are needed for the united states to to remain on the alert and to and to be able to muster enough resolve to maintain to be i think china and russia understand this and this is also well recognized by many americans. started coalition says that it has shot down a ballistic missile targeting the royal palace in the capital riyadh this video apparently shows the moment of the attack yemeni who is a claimed responsibility a similar incident took place last month when saudis intercepted a missile over an international airport near. the last strike by the

side of the coalition have killed one hundred fifteen civilians and indeed eighty three in yemen in just the last eleven days the u.n. says it is deeply concerned about the rise in civilian casualties in the country. of the mother who has destroyed everything around even in the neighboring villages we can. point people and they say he was. one of two tankers is not enough even for this one family. we are living happily carrot on the side of the airstrikes began bear. but no one

helped us here i go you see or heard no the mattresses no movement of the children . meanwhile britart a top arms supplier to saudi arabia says that riyadh has no excuse for cutting access to humanitarian aid in yemen the statement came from the u.k.'s international development secretary penny mordant it is very clear that if you're using starvation as a weapon you are in breach of international humanitarian law i very much understand the strategic importance of our relationship with saudi arabia but we do not help that relationship by not speaking about the facts of the matter if the route to be a breach of international humanitarian law that would put that relationship into difficulty but also plans to send fifty million pounds in aid to yemen putting the total u.k. help this next year at two hundred five million but that pales in comparison with the volume of u.k. arms sales to saudi arabia since the start of the conflict britain sold more than four billion pounds worth of weapons to riyadh to be

a lack of from the stop the war coalition thinks that the only way the u.k. can really help yemen is to stop selling weapons to saudi arabia. when saudi arabia started its war in yemen in the first few months of that war britain's arms sales to saudi arabia went up by a thousand percent during the course of this war despite the evidence from human rights organizations that those weapons have been used in war crimes it has been admitted that british forces are part of the joint operations. command in saudi arabia they've been part of training forces part of picking targets so they're very much accountable these war crimes or this this blockade has been discovered yesterdays been going on for a long time and you know we've seen how the british government have reacted to that and i think if britain really want to help the people of yemen then they should stop supporting saudi arabia stop selling their weapons stop giving them diplomatic cover. and the u.k.

extra police and special armed units are being deployed during the festive period security has been especially increased at christmas markets where barriers have been put up to prevent possible car running attacks according to the authorities there is no specific knowledge of any planned attacks the police are still warning people to be vigilant. and this comes a year after the attack on a christmas market in berlin where memorial ceremony has been held to remember those who died relatives of victims as well as survivors they flowers and candles that are moral at the site of the attack chancellor angela merkel's also there she admitted the country could have handled the situation better. yesterday and spoke with the relatives of the victims and those injured in the attack it was not good conversation that showed what weaknesses our stage shows in this situation. germany's justice ministers also admitted errors were made in the

response to the atrocity peter all of a look back at last year's events and speaks to some of those who lost loved ones in the attack. a year on from the berlin christmas market attack tributes to the victims mixed in with the usual joy at the season this year concrete blocks ringing the christmas market intended to make sure that no one could repeat the atrocities . not each is model that stopped by the christmas market like many others that evening she was killed when armory plowed the stolen truck into the crowd leaving behind a grieving husband and young son. it was when i call the hotline there was only information that she's not on the list so i didn't know anything either because the

official statement was that she was missing. but of course it was known to the police that she was dead he was pretty determined not to have any information at all this is really bad when you lose your you or power actually how are you telling your son about what happened tell you preparing him for me when he's all much older he will understand a lot more about this talk of how this of course this is not easy because he doesn't understand fully yet. and this will change definitely he will ask questions so i try to answer all his questions as best i can. so that's probably the only thing i can do for maybe we can try to look into it to find out what happened actually i would be interested myself. but. the question is how successful can be this west. us too painful to go to really for

this anniversary so we preferred to commemorate our girl here where she was born and grew up there is no amount of money that could offset the death of my daughter now amount. new documents have emerged in the german press that show the security services knew omri was a potential terrorist threat back in twenty fifteen and may have allowed him to remain at large in the hope of using him to catch biggest fish.

in open letter to angela merkel the families have asked why help promise to them hasn't been forthcoming and why amery had been free to carry out his attack in the first place what i'm really angry about is actually what happened before the the terrorist act. it's pretty known that this person is dangerous and still the authorities didn't. arrest him didn't work here for some reason what bugs me also is that nobody actually. actually took the responsibility. it's still you know everybody is doing their own work still the time has passed if nothing happened germany's christmas markets remain on high alert but for the families of those killed and injured during last

year's terrorist attack it's left an indelible sadness on the festive period piece rather arty berlin. of the for. these independence bids may be decided this thursday alleged russian meddling in it pops up in the u.k. we'll explain all right. here's what people have been saying about redacted in. the only show i go out of my way to you know what it really packs a punch. is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same. apparently better than. the c. people you've never heard of redacted the next president of the world bank ok. seriously send us an e-mail. seemed wrong

but. just don't. get to see how to stay. active. and engaged equals betrayal. when something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back investigators propping up fatal trying to crash in the united states have revealed that it was traveling at eight hundred miles an hour in the thirty's and when the accident occurred the reason why i was speeding is still on the i'm trying to service was on his maiden journey when he did and plunged onto

a busy highway southwest of seattle. we conduct a triology of the incident we performed extrication using the johns of life to remove the injured. there are three confirmed fatalities that we know of and we transported over a hundred patients. all the lights flickered out suddenly i was at a forty five degree angle. like shaking my car just started shaking like really really badly treated started to. seem like the side.

door. just pushed myself along the. u.k. parliamentary committee has convened to discuss fake news and in particular its potential impact on october scam to learn referendum and like in similar hearings in washington the buzzwords again were alleged russian interference greek discord the suppression spend this democracy european union about to late fall to pieces for men to division these outlets are tea and splitting the affiliated actors meddling in the russian trolls and russian farms no specific given to spreading propaganda russian and to feel that their goal was to polarize but despite all the catchy buzz words the committee's experts failed to even get their facts straight or provide any real evidence and the say a chicken expects. a new day is

a new opportunity to discuss russia isn't at this particular parliamentary hearing focused on an inquiry on feek news was carrying on for over two hours and how does a panel discussions with experts sharing their opinions and of course russia social media's use and role as well as this channel were discussed in abundance yet again however not without a hick up from one member of the committee away admitting that he doesn't even use twitter apparently not even deeming it worth the two names of artes editor in chief basically invented as well as realisations that some committee members don't really know where julian assange is not a normal interest because life's too short this is the same you're not used to say we would like to offer the alternative point of view of the subject but she felt she was holed up in the stands for them to go over it with the reader it was always

with the group that we need to research the letters with well lo this the research was also widely focused on russia as a legit meddling specifically in the cattle on our friend if you remember there was plenty of talk here in the u.k. about attempts to try to drag russia into its alleged involvement in the bronx it referendum which led to nothing so this time around the context was catalonia however a lot of attention was paid to it but as soon as the tough questions popped up about evidence that was a bit of a problem is your evidence that the russian government is seeking to interfere with the outcome of the referendum in catalonia. i don't have evidence that i get a picture of a street but you say it's true that the evidence you claim to around the referendum to the chip a great deal of the consortium goldman focus that we have we have no no specific evidence that this is a new. study says that it's that we don't know well that this was the for. worst

public evidence hearing of this particular inquiry so surely there will be more it took our. local elections account alone in this they could decide the fate of the region's independence bid madrid says that the secession movement has been based on what it calls post truth on the show the dubin scheme has more. just a few days to go now before the elections on thursday december twenty first and the spanish deputy prime minister has taken the opportunity to slam for my separatist leaders of catalonia she has branded them as betraying their supporters when they cooled that independence referendum this year and she destroyed that referendum as being a fake as misled by the scenarios he got the worst betrayal has been to catalyze who genuinely believed in independence because they were made to believe that it would come true when in reality it was all a big show a symbolic episode a fake in the full sense of the word back on october twenty seventh the catalonian

government the catalonia parliament declared that catalonia was an independent state and within an hour of that happening madrid took some very unprecedented steps and actually took control back of the region using a piece of legislation that had never been used before in the thirty years since it has been created now the deputy prime minister was then asked to take control of the region to spirituals these elections on december twenty first now she has accused the cat's of land leaders the former leaders of that region of misusing public funds saying that they use public funds towards the goal of creating that independence referendum and she said by doing that there she neglected other areas such as the judiciary health and education now the spanish prime minister as we know also called back on october twenty seventh these new fresh elections which will take place on food stay at the same time the local government in catalonia was

dissolved some of the separatist leaders were arrested and several other warrants issued for the former catalan president carlos pushy want to actually travel to brussels where he remains of a dingbat european arrest warrant however he has still be campaigning who. this election on thursday from his base now in brussels in belgium the reality is we don't know whether this election on thursday will play into the hands of the separatists again or will play back into the hands of the spanish prime minister it is a big gamble on this still could go either way. the pentagon has confirmed that it's spent millions of dollars trying to identify airborne objects that reportedly violated a u.s. search space the five year you were folk probe is said to have been canceled only in two thousand and twelve with that news provoked pigs fight meant as this was rare confirmation of an official you were follow hunting program but its results they are still classified.

a damn if you do the chores or not they're actually paying enough to put it back into. the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the u.s.n. preach what secret is behind such success. but i did ask them that they're not a prayer. and that. the death of. that would be the first.

to be put to behind the many people who live with their way to me and i think. the same thing where you do not say no they support the thoughts of oh you're on the. list from the still post but i came away you would have much to be. as it was obvious stuff to be an innocent little sonny into the ditch stuff that babson us out of out of this with. much in which i fainted so what is obvious to dispel on c.b.s. news. universe. only you all got really craving all in the. world you know your son the force of the heart in the whole bar and then a walk on top of. one

of the most heavily mined regions in the world that's fallen decades of conflict with its neighbors it was a spanish colony from the late nineteenth century until nine hundred seventy five them both mauritania and morocco claimed sovereignty us from locals the sahara we established the polish sorry the front and declared an armed struggle in one nine hundred seventy nine mauritania withdrew from the war means a moral code snatch more land and insurgency ensued and the ceasefire was declared in one nine hundred ninety one and independence referendum was promised for the following year but never happened the sarai have been living in limbo for decades and the women have now taken it upon themselves to clear the mines from the land

they hope to return soon. we traveled to meet these courageous women but get in there was no easy task as we were about to discover. we were dropped off in the middle of nowhere. this is algeria near the border tens of thousands of refugees left here. this would be our new home for about three days while we waited for permission to cross the border. even the saudis have been here for over forty years now. they don't bother. because months of maintenance because they never expected to be here this long. that's the time we had more pressing issues like finding water.
