and sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us now world powers have approved a thirty day humanitarian ceasefire for syria a resolution was passed in a unanimous vote at the u.n. security council headquarters in new york artie's came up and has more for us there has been a resolution agreed on by the fifteen member body that leaves the united nations regarding the situation in eastern guta this is an enclave to the east of the syrian capital of damascus and it's a place that's under the control of rebels and terrorists that are working to overthrow the syrian government since two thousand and thirteen it has been surrounded by government forces and the fighting there has recently intensified and we're hearing allegations against both sides about human life being taken about civilians being killed we're hearing accusations from the syrian observatory for human rights which is based in the united kingdom they're saying that that syria with the support of russia is hurting. civilians and committing atrocities against

civilians we've also heard reports from the russian center for reconciliation in syria they are pointing out that the area is essentially being used to shell civilians in damascus furthermore there are reporting that the terrorist groups in eastern guta are working actively to prevent medical aid from getting to civilians and they're using these civilians as human shield the resolution was passed calling for a thirty day cease fire now after the unanimous vote we then heard from various countries we heard from nikki haley of the united states and she said she doesn't believe the syrian government will actually comply with the cease fire. it is critical that the assad regime and its allies comply with our demand to stop the assault on eastern guta and immediately allow food and medicine to reach everyone who needs it all of us on this council must do our part to press the assad regime as hard as we can to comply we are deeply skeptical that the regime will comply but we supported this

resolution because we must demand nothing less now we also heard from the representative of the russian federation now he addressed the security council and he emphasized that the fight against terrorism is not affected by this resolution that internationally delegated terrorist groups groups like al nasra isis that the fight against them is not restricted by this resolution that fight will continue he also had some concerns about how the fight against terrorism seem to be serving some other goals. the aim of battling terrorism can't become a cover for solving geo political problems of dubious legitimacy and that is exactly what the u.s. is doing in syria right now we insist that the so-called coalition and its attempts and occupation as soon as possible it would have among other things a clear humanitarian effect nikki haley the representative of the united states walked out before the syrian representative could speak under u.n.

rules if the resolution pertains to you all countries have the right to address the security council the syrian ambassador to the united nations went on to point out that he said that the thirty day ceasefire should be implemented and not just implemented in eastern guta but also in our friend as well as in the golan heights bhima if you're going to go for this resolution must be implemented in all parts of syria including afrin and including the territories controlled by the united states extremist groups who use the ceasefire to regroup reorganize and receive more military equipment and to just. support you were trying to stop us from defeating terrorism in our own country our forces are not thousands of kilometers from home fights against other countries we have fights and terrorists in our own land the resolution has been passed down and it looks like there will be a thirty day ceasefire in eastern good investigative journalist rick sterling told us of the russian amendments to the ceasefire will allow anti terror operations to

continue but i think a kid didn't get the resolution was the inclusion. that the syrian government can continue the fight against al qaida and isis in east and i think that was the reason that it did pass unanimously with the support of russia and the encouragement of the syrian government the united states is said it's kind of at a crossroads where they're going to allow the syrian government to regain full territorial integrity and basically eliminate terrorism or whether the west is going to continue to support the terrorist project there that's really what's at stake. in other news the u.s. house intelligence committee has just released a democratic party memo countering republican claims of f.b.i. surveillance abuses in related to the ongoing probe into alleged russian meddling

in the two thousand and sixteen american presidential election and for the latest on this story i can bring in our to use this american who joins us live from washington d.c. kind of the heart of it all so the excuse me who the memo awards that seem to continue could you tell us about the latest memo and the reaction from the white house. well the house intel committee has released a redacted democratic party memo on alleged russian influence now it's intended to challenge the g.o.p. memo that was released earlier this month which outlined government surveillance abuses during the two thousand and sixteen election but the democratic party's document accuses the republicans of selectively drawing on quote highly sensitive information also calling it a transparent effort to undermine the f.b.i. justice department and robert muller now in early february trump block the release of the democratic party's rebuttal citing national security concerns but the

republican memo claimed that the f.b.i. improperly obtained a warrant to spy on the trump campaign civically quarter page under fisa the foreign intelligence surveillance act democrats however disagree saying that the f.b.i. did not abuse fisa that it would have been wrong and not to obtain a fisa warrant considering it was the f.b.i. who believed carter page to be a russian agent so interesting times we live in democrats are now defending the f.b.i. but after the memo was released from tweeted the democratic memo responds on government surveillance of us this is a total political and legal bust just confirms all of the terrible things that were done so illegal but the white house has already responded calling the memo a politically driven attempt to undercut trump and once again reiterating that trump never colluded with a foreign government during the election. now it's not sure how republicans will respond to this but it will be interesting to see how they react all right con their force in washington d.c. we know you'll stay across the story as it develops for us all right political

analyst john griffith believes that the democratic memo could actually help the republicans. in the democrat memo which is a few pages long all they do all they do is say that they started their investigation without evidence they essentially admitted to not having evidence and are pursuing this investigation without evidence and to send in other words they got lucky with the steal. at least they thought they did and they use that seven weeks in so you're not talking about a long period of time between the time that the democrats initiated this investigation and they used to still dossier it's not an eternity here this is simply a partisan attempt to neutralize the the extreme series of instances of corruption here that have been exposed by a republican efforts if you look at what the f.b.i. did for example with clinton they essentially let clinton off the hook for

divulging major classified information to the public through her servers so this is not something that the that the republicans have done to the f.b.i. this is a culture of corruption at the f.b.i. and the f.b.i. has done this to itself. clashes have broken out in the law no week before the italian general election police stepped in to break up being scared in protest against the anti immigration northern the lead party. the unrest started on friday in peace and turin and has spread to two other italian cities the northern league the main focus of the anger and its own rally in iran on saturday as well. politics professor marco buss amin told us that radical parties

are seeing a resurgence in italy we tend to exclude a lot of things done in one. economic crisis but there's through. another story this story is that there is a growing in this country there is a growing look legitimization all of the right any kind of radical sunni team from the economic rises believe in due time i don't think that it's a leak in gone like this there are too many differences between the north the south and nobody addresses that we'll all this is that change. you know that could change the situation covered spending goes up boring goes up the national debt is out of control and nobody talks even talks about the real issues. russia has warned ukraine it is making a colossal mistake after he have passed a law on the reintegration of the war torn down you have to get into god's great and moscow says it shows kiev is not committed to

a peaceful solution to the conflict and that the move undermines the minsk agreements that are currently in place now the new legislation allows the ukrainian president to use the armed forces in peacetime against the breakaway republics it also does ignites russia as an aggressor state and labels the two territories as being occupied in the conflict between eastern and western parts of ukraine broke out after a coup in two thousand and fourteen here is how it all unraveled. i

. i. i. i. experts we spoke to agree that the law will do more harm than good in east ukraine . it won't contribute to the peace process it will have to be either withdrawn or amended in order to accord with the minsk agreement simple as that i think but i think it's more of a a little small cancers for that process it's what i call double track pseudo diplomacy he wants to be seen to be

a good guy but in fact the original agenda remains the same which is that he eventually wants to. make as big many problems for russia as he possibly can because i think he's probably acting according to an american nato agenda trying to setting in stone in a conflict will situation isn't it it's not going to be it's not going to did lead to any constructive dialogue between the two sides the minsk agreements is all we've got to hold the situation in as a frozen conflicts and it's better off as a frozen conflict than as a conflict and there are plenty of forces inside the ukraine itself and in the west that want to see a conflict here as a means of debilitating the russian federation on the world stage the breakaway republics have broken away the ceasefire laws have been established there's not going to be any change on the ground by fighting on attempts to talk about fighting

as a resolution or not realistic head of a final day russian skiers have boosted the country's medal count at the winter olympics and story much more still to come you want your to international. gk i. think i'm. cute. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. somehow want to be.

that you'd like to be close to see what the full story of the book can't be good that. interest is always in the waters of the. first city. and welcome back you're watching our team international the russian skiers have clinched another two medals out the winter olympics in south korea cross country skiers alexander motioned off and i'm very logical for one silver and bronze respectively in the men's fifty kilometer race from time to took gold rushes athletes have been competing under a neutral banner because of doping violations and have won sixteen medals at the

games so far. now half of all the medals belonged to skiers and that's despite the team being formed from a limited pool of athletes many just out of the junior ranks in the aftermath of the doping scandal the eight medals they've won so far equal the record a haul of russian skiers in one thousand and ninety eight zero when it comes to skiing in countries like finland norway or france might be the ones which immediately spring to mind not so much australia even so three friends from down under decided to take part in one of sweden's most grueling events despite never having worn a pair of skis before. well we had a few too many beers to be honest with our other friend that's doing the right as

well morton and he was telling us that his dad has to enforce the law but ninety come to ski race forty nine times and he said it would be great if you could do it with him and of course we all parties stick to this because he just can't do more than ten minutes of exercise but after a few beers it seems. maybe we should if. we are weaker i mean i just know farming or thrown around and explained if you want to do this i'm beginner's class or if you never skied before and said well we were doing this race. and they all started off saying this is to thank you. guys my name's alexis of stuff i'm originally from russia and do my coaching career i want to lose this time around it's from i refuse to have slipped from the very very beginning level to olympic champion.

it's going to be awful the longest we've done this forty two kilometers so far and morton ended up in hospital but i think we will finish we'll see. a german newspaper has successfully registered a dog as a member of a major political party in the social democrats building says it pulled the standard to show how easy it is to manipulate the party voting process as the d.p. decides whether to enter a coalition with chancellor merkel's party but some can't see the funny side as artie's peter over explains. it's almost certainly not the sound bite top german social democrats under expected to be having to give to the press this week it came after the newspaper to build a registered a named lemur is a member of the s.p.

devastating name gender occupation and age. they received a party card saying she was in the only reason that this is anything more than a hilarious mistake by the social democrats is that it's their party members that will get to decide on a coalition with calls conservatives a no vote in not ballots well that could see fresh elections here in germany people who wish to manipulate the votes in a grand coalition through criminality could do just the same and that is what forced the social democrats into making their somewhat embarrassing canine climb down and prompted me to enlist the help of my own four legged friends. to help come this what berlin's pooches and some of the humans they brought with the thoughts that use homes they are. not but do you see helen was using them on the children.

she loved to greet actually. collect them a really young dog so i'm pretty sure she should want a lot good to be the lexan you know those children she's one year old all the couple more years and i think it's too big the cost how do you think about the stuff you want to have a career in the park will be fucked up by. that interest. because you know you have to take you back on. the. look of the. milk best ever. well let's that's what your answer to that would.

be to all of us all to see that. he supporter of president trump has received a slew of online criticism after american news network c.n.n. publicly shamed her for sharing what was claimed to be a russian coordinated event on facebook an artist jacqueline vargas has the story c.n.n. knows no bounds when it comes to tracking down anyone culpable of sowing discord in america and things to an indictment filed last week detailing how suspected russian trolls use unwitting americans to undermine their own political process c.n.n. has plenty of fodder like this woman from florida but did you realize that you guys were in communication electronically with with russia they not and they are your so what did she do to deserve such a confrontation goldfarb is guilty of having run a pro trump facebook page that promoted an event allegedly organized by the russians her objections to accusations of having any connection to russia however were all but ignored by the c.n.n. reporter you were posting in reposing almost word for word the information that was

coming out of this internet research agency now in st petersburg now you don't believe that you know now to no one's surprise goldfarb was viciously attacked online after the short interview spread like wildfire goldfarb should be ashamed of herself she is the fake get on c.n.n. for showing us who she really is i don't believe she feigned ignorance she knew people like goldfarb who shared russian propaganda and who refused to accept responsibility when shown should be prosecuted. goldfarb are you a communist maybe only deplorable as a commies but surely c.n.n. won't stop there when there are bigger fish to fry such as michael moore the hollywood director should be their next stop as he both attended and promoted around that's been organized by yep you guessed it russian trolls the kicker is that protest was titled trump is not my president meaning russia is also guilty of putting together events against the man they apparently want to see in the white

house but for some reason i doubt c.n.n. will be knocking down moore's door to talk about that maybe because it looks like c.n.n. covered the rally themselves along with their comrades in arms b.c. thousands of people as you know the feeling marginalized by president like donald trump's comment they said this is a love rally after they pointed in that direction they yelled we're not going to be . tolerating any sexism or homophobia or racism so we're told that countless unsuspecting americans and media outlets were duped by the relentless efforts of online trolls but where are those trolls getting their inspiration from more often than not it looks like they were simply relying on stories generated by the us media itself oh sweet sweet irony i mustn't be seen as liberal host joy reid is a shining example of that her posts were retreated by count said to have connections to the kremlin hundreds of times and there obviously a lot of questions about how much the trump campaign knew about and whether they

were complicit in the russian attack on our election but what about the rest of the republican party machinery so to break this down the heart of the accusation seems to be that russia tried to divide the us by giving people a place to express their views and retreating mainstream media articles and posts written by americans diabolical if you ask me where those are from we'll be back in about thirty six minutes with a full picture news you want your to international stay with us. i. was going along knowledge is only producing. illusion ofis it doesn't have any meaning unless it leads to real kiss which can be . no guaranteed only by christina presidential.

when lawmakers manufacture come sentenced to public wealth. when the ruling closest to protect themselves. with the famous merry go round lifts only the one percent so. we can all middle of the room sick. i mean real news group. hey everybody i'm stephen baldwin task hollywood guy the suspect every proud american first of all i'm just george bush and r.v.'s to say this is my buddy max famous financial guru just a little bit different i'm not
