no collusion says the u.s. house intelligence committee is it delivers its final report into alleged russian meddling in the twenty sixteen presidential election. three deaths are reported and almost nine hundred are injured in clashes on friday the latest in garza's great march of return as palestinians protest what they call israeli occupation. also the key witness in the russian doping scandal fails to confirm a number of his allegations during court testimony after the careers of many almost destroyed following these climbs.

very good evening to you my name's neil harvey this is r.t. international no collusion that's the verdict of the u.s. house intelligence committee which found no evidence that donald trump's campaign was in cahoots with russia that's according to its final report on moscow's alleged meddling in the two thousand and sixteen u.s. presidential election. takes a look at the report. if you've heard it once you've heard of a thousand times but here it is once more for those of you in the cheap seats the russian active measures campaign against the united states was multi-faceted they leverage cyber attacks covert platforms social media third party intermediaries in state run media the house intelligence report begins with a novel idea the american people rightly want to know what the russians did and how and well each section starts off with accusations of what the kremlin did where the evidence is meant to be there is just a bunch of blacked out text nevertheless the committee concludes that russia's goal

was to so discord in america and cast doubt on the democratic process that's apparently with point zero zero zero two percent of u.s. election related advertising on google and with an equally huge amount of ads on facebook twenty five percent of which were never seen by anyone that's in the report still the aim was apparently achieved and is the sole reason for the expansive divide that has grown in america since the election rush's active measures campaign achieved its primary goal of inciting division and discord among americans for more than a year us politics have been consumed by busy recriminations charges and countercharges about the attacks it's wholly unclear how russia's alleged actions are responsible for the political chaos that has ensued since trump took the white house it wasn't russia reporting that terms former campaign managers connections to ukraine spelled out collusion one of the many theories that the report shoots down the charges against the for president transform

a company manager or save more than seventeen million dollars in secret payments from a kremlin linked political party in ukraine but it was the american media that hypothesize that trump jr is meeting with a russian lawyer proved moscow was supporting trump donald trump son think he was about to get help from a russian lawyer with ties to the kremlin this is looking more and more like treason all these strange behavior from the president it's all explains now a stream of league. by the intelligence community condemned by the report as damaging national security wasn't orchestrated by the kremlin who are also learning from your sources that intelligence officials they denied n.b.c. news is learning from intelligence sources u.s. intelligence sources tell c.b.s. news or even taken basser kissling iraq half of team trump was accused of meeting with him and that threaten their jobs but the report says there was nothing sinister there also there the controversial russian ambassador sergei look of course of the pictures of course a shameful picture where the united states press corps was kept out by the russians

were allowed in there is an open question whether there was collusion cooperation between trump associates during the campaign and russian officials all of that discord was home grown so after a year of searching that included seventy three interviews nine hearings and briefings and the review of countless documents were left with the conclusion of no collusion and as much proof as we had before the report was released meaning little to none this is so sad so pathetic so embarrassing now all of the harm that was done from the accusations all of the the talk about discord diplomatic this core embassies two superpowers and gage didn't is our a ball back and forth how do we do this where do lovers of logic and justice go to to we deem ourselves from this the house intel committee has

a republican majority and expose stating that this report was final the democrats on the committee said that they will continue the probe the document itself been loaded by president trump a reacted by tweeting wow a total witch hunt must and now. democratic congressman have dubbed it flaunt. because go to the middle east now where three people have been confirmed dead and eight hundred ninety three wounded in the latest palestinian patient release in gaza that's according to the palestinian health ministry the protest there a part of the six week long great knowledge of return. we

are in the central hospital in gaza strip where this hospital receive all the injuries from the fat fans fans that area from the five locations that are protesting and the fifth friday of the great they're great much of return and today's fight is tight is that you propose where you are protesting that this friday and now this is another injury that's came just right now from the fans but there have been severe injuries in the had in the legs and i was not about him in the post minutes we received at least ten people with severe injuries to the stomach and head they were doing in the minutes and says are still carrying hundreds of people to the hospital and there is

a lack of medicine and medical equipment in the hospitals in the crowd so as you see this is another ambulance just came just right now after a minute that your defense and as you see this ambulance has at least four palestinians that have been injured what happened right now to the fences that at least two thousand policy. protesters tried to interfere and break the bank that what happened is there's only four stairs and i reacted violently and they started to see what i'm these palestinian protesters broke the price that according to the ground at least twenty palestinians are if you are critical could you see. clearly there that any minute. and you can see images from the ground showing journalists covering the rallies have also been injured over the past month forty palestinians have been killed more than five thousand wounded according to u.n. estimates. the un has denounced the use of live fire by the israeli defense

forces against palestinians. israel's failure to consistently prosecute violations committed by members of its security forces encourages them to use deadly force against their fellow human beings even when they present no threat in the contests of an occupation such as gaza killings resulting from the use of force may also constitute willful killings which are a grave breach of the fourth geneva convention. israeli army denies using excessive force against protesters it also accuses her mass which controls gaza of using civilians and children in the demonstrations israel's defense minister has called on people not to approach the border. spoke with the i.d.f. former chief of staff about the current escalation the full interview is being aired throughout the day here on r.t. for now here's a quick preview you are obviously

a very patchy arctic man who served and serves his country are you able to take a step back and see this from a distance how unbending both sides are. i think i think they can associate think that both the palestinians and israelis need. to give up. in the illusionary dreams of getting read on the other we are staying here they're staying here it's an israeli palestinian challenge it should be an israeli palestinian issue with the support whoever decides to give this support and i really think that for the benefit of the future. the future of the palestinian kids that we were born. to do we want to more in sims two for my kids or other kids in israel. to sit down and try to solve it with the hope of the others but i

was going also with ross i. it's been revealed the former head of moscow's anti doping laboratory grigori wrote chink of key witness in the russian doping scandal failed to confirm a number of allegations against the country this came during the recent testimony to the court of arbitration for sport in february the court upheld the appeals of twenty eight russian athletes banned for doping but it's only now given some of its reasons and is it is down the village where my colleague andrew farmer to discuss the latest first and foremost in the past few years that we've seen the scandal unravel i should say it has been established that pretty much every single athlete in russia dope so it seems it was common knowledge at least that they had a special drug cocktail brewed performance that the swapped the dirty urine samples

for clean ones through some hole in a lab wall so a lot of was said and it was said by a man named grigori roche in cup so he was the key witness he put forward the allegations but in the in the case basically during that hearing the court of arbitration for sports he revealed that many of the stuff that he said was best circumstantial first and foremost he said that he never actually administered the said cocktail which he claims he concocted himself he says that he never saw anyone administering the said steroid cocktail he didn't know how the cocktail. was smuggled from russia abroad because well you know to be used in an international championship it would have to cross the border and also he's never been a witness to the mysterious you know you're in the swamp dirty to clean one he did

say that his allegations came from basically talking to he's calling but that was it when it comes to these allegations and in the past two years his words were taken at face value i should say no one questioned them and broaching of himself was propelled to fame even starring in an oscar winning documentary about the doping problem in russia have a look. i was hoping to facilitate what was a was deliberate employees in sports history was aware of the existence of a russian doping system. or top level chicks. a chunk of claims were the foundation of richard mclaren's report which was then used for a blanket ban on russian athletes and he was speaking to worsening in this court case what did he say well indeed sir richard mclaren a canadian law who basically

pulled put the burden on his shoulders to compile a massive report on the scale of the doping problem in russia testifying in front of the same judge being cross-examined as well he said that basically while he did not shy away from mentioning athletes by name in the report in no way he said he meant to you know assume that they were guilty of something so basically being mentioned in his doping report did not mean he says that those athletes were complicit he also revealed he couldn't basically you couldn't explain justify to the court of arbitration for sport why he trusted roger and why he never questioned his allegations also he refused to provide the names of other witnesses of you. no of turn it of sources so to speak you used to put together the report so the good news for those thirty say athletes that had their appeals up held but they would say well ok ok that is good news but the damage as far as we're concerned is already been done to our names well indeed because what happened back in february

twenty eighth russian athletes they used to be banned for life they had been banned for life from participating in the olympics which means they were stripped of their medal as the future held nothing for them from that point no more achievements of just ruined the point of their lives so they have. revoked so they were reinstated they got their awards back and they basically the court of arbitration for sport said yeah they're good to compete and it happened literally a few days before the kickoff of the olympic games in south korea so just guess how many of those athletes were actually invited to participate many of them still you know pursuing sporting careers none zero none of them were invited to participate many of them would love to saw there you have it you know mud sticks and you published report by the world anti-doping agency on violations in twenty six teams

reveal that italy was actually the worst offender russia was tied for six just to remind you that very year russia was the only country to receive any suspension from the olympics over doping allegations so we get the seats on both sides of the atlantic to gauge reaction to those revelations. if i was going to say to you what country do you think was the number one thing violated in two thousand and sixteen which country would you name russia russia russia maybe between america and russia not quite sure. i would guess russia top the list russia china no russia russia so what would you say then if i told me that russia was not the top violated in terms of anti taping in two thousand and fifteen they weren't even the second the third the fourth all the face but they were actually six in the report what would you say to that as fighting aids while that's surprising to me so i thought russia where you want to

talk wants to be honest but i guess it's just what the reporters nowadays focus on this is easy news for them isn't it makes me wonder if if you got like trust on the newspaper what priding well actually i watch the news but i guess not so you hear about maybe it's just a sort of western take on things trying to paint the enemy and i think there was a long history of us blaming them for it certainly some gets caught. but everybody doubts the. witnesses to the alleged chemical attack in the syrian city of doom have testified they saw no signs of chemical poisoning of that story and others after the break.

trump's foreign policy could be described as double speak the president doesn't have a defined policy approach even goals are difficult to discern is this what the art of the deal means is transform policy making america great again the world safer. nor make this manufacture consent to instant of public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the flame a merry go round of lives only the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. real news is.

a fresh face but the same old words it seems very his new secretary state much pompei is kicked off his new role with a speech at the nato headquarters in brussels saying the alliance will continue to counter russian aggression that is killing more pinpricks of the story. he's only been in office for a day but now ex cia chief and recently sworn in secretary of state mike pompei o. is in brussels speaking at the nato headquarters we heard his remarks and during his comments to the nato officials he did reminisce about his time during the cold war serving as a soldier in the u.s. military stationed in germany this is my palm pale in brussels we talked a lot about that the changing nature of the threat from russia when i was a young soldier it was seventy two tanks and sixty tanks rolling across the east german plane this is today is different and we collectively each of each nation

individually and nato together must come up with solutions to address that there were lots of ideas there was an enormous consensus of the risk that it poses to the west stoltenberg seemed very receptive to mike pompei are very happy to be looking forward to working with him this is stilton bird responding to mike palm pale his so long on bodett experience including serving us shoulder in in german to do nichole war. provides him a perfect back room for being the top to promote the united states that wasn't exactly clear how his military service in the us army being stationed in germany during the cold war would help prepare pompei o for working as secretary of state of the united states in nato that was exactly made clear now in his comments he did emphasize a kind of disappointment with germany because germany has not yet received the two

percent military spending target expected of nato countries at this point the germans have not yet fulfilled that expectation and increased their military spending to reach the two percent target furthermore a poll that has recently come out shows that germans are more afraid of donald trump the u.s. president as a threat they're more afraid of him than they are. russian president vladimir putin so it's not exactly clear however the concepts of the cold war and his reminiscing about his service in germany during the cold war seem to be central in my palm pales remarks in brussels. local syrian doctors have testified that they saw no patients with signs of chemical poisoning in the aftermath of the alleged attack in the city of duma witnesses explained how events unfolded on april seventh to the un backed chemical watchdog alongside russia's representative the boy also spoke out after appearing in a video a chant to this group claimed to show

a chemical attack. you know they have all so we were in the basement and then heard someone outside scream go to hospital we were scared they started to pour water on me i don't know why they did this. on the seventh of april i was in the emergency room treating patients injured during the fighting the same day around seven pm we started receiving patients with breathing problems about fifteen cases this happened because people were inhaling smoke and the only shows symptoms of choking and nothing more it all happened because one missile hit a building nearby and a lot of dust got into the hospital rooms with us live at the car the screams chemical weapons chemical weapons were used to create panic this lasted for about an hour we were treating the patients and then sending them home so we had no fatalities or instances of people suffering from a poisonous substances but these testimonies were not enough to change the western mainstream media stand so what happened in it became clear during the following q.

and a session. how low do you have to go to bring a little child all the way and threaten them. yes my son is young and it's been difficult for him to make it here a flight here is no easy thing so little has lived has told you the truth something you do not want to hear it was a necessary measure we needed to show that there was a live in a very dangerous one. we discussed this with independent research and journalist vanessa bailey she's just back from dinner and was collecting people's testimonies . well actually i am surprised and i'm shocked at the levels to which western media has stooped over this alleged event in germany and the moral bankruptcy and degeneracy that was saying from western media i mean to accuse russia are basically exploiting a child in years of playing the evidence of eleven year old has and after

western media has cynically exploited children throughout the history of this conflict and if we don't have to go back to far to remember. in east aleppo it is almost whatever evidence is produced now it will be perceived as being influenced by russia or by syria i mean we've already seen the british government and western media if you like laying the ground for saying that russia had already pretty tampered with the site before they go p w come in so we can almost predict that if p.c. w find no evidence of chemical weapon use in that area the next line will be russia tampered with and sanitized and sprayed afrikaner around the site before a.b.c. w could get there when i spoke to people in duma doctor medical start in the same hospital in the medical point that received victims on that night they

all also told me exactly the same thing as people are now hearing in the hague and also when i went outside and spoke to civilians only seven hundred meters away from the alleged attack they were also all saying the same thing to me that there was no chemical weapon attack. well the u.s. is going to expand its fight in syria that's according to the country's defense secretary james mattis the move is said to be a response to the growing danger coming from i song but it contradicts president trump's recent statements saying that he'd withdraw u.s. military forces soon however there's always been arguments about why they should stay. to stay for several reasons stabilization and assistance in the vital north and northeast protection of our allies the primary mission in syria which is to defeat and destroy isis to deneb find those responsible for using chemical weapons in syria to pursue a diplomatic resolution to be part of will be

a widening effort across the world to achieve a political settlement to set the conditions for the united nations. process to succeed america does not seek an indefinite presence in syria and do no circumstance it's a problem for the western belligerence is that the syrian arab army and its allies principly russia all saw the lebanese resistance and the iranians have very largely crushed the force trump is there supposedly to defeat isis in dark and the jaish al islam have been defeated and have been rejected overwhelmingly by the vast majority of the syrian people saw maintaining a pretext for being there will not be easy specially when the barracks and as i

promise you they will when the barracks holding the foreign soldiers begin to blow up with dismal and bloody regularity. emotional handshakes and hugs wrapped up in historic summits between the leaders of north and south korea it's the first meeting of its kind in more than a decade and has been dubbed as the summit where peace may have broken out the leaders announced that they'll seek the full denuclearization of the peninsula and they also found to stop all hostile actions against each other and to gradually reduce their weapons arsenals additionally they agreed to hold talks with the u.s. and china to arrive at a proper peace treaty is a quick look at how they spent the day together. it's.

all the leaders for more than an hour in face to face talks kim jong un joked to that he would no longer interrupt his counterpart sleep likely a reference to the north missile tests which usually occurred around dawn is a look back briefly at how the thought between the two sides occurred. praise the progress between the sides following decades of tension it seems a final peace treaty could now be on the horizon human rights attorney erickson wrote kimberly's the ticker is ready. i think what we can expect is

a exciting moment in time which. as they said is south african history and hope could live if you have it in a certain time in a certain slates and i really am hopeful that from these talks we can see the framework for a full peace treaty the fine way to end this conflict it seems both sides are ready and willing to do that if the south and north get create the frame to give their own steps and self-determination then the us as a as much smaller role to play if we can agree that and hold them to the notion that ending the hostile policy creating a peace treaty with the u.s. and south korea will lead to denuclearization of the korean peninsula. to stay with us here and i'll take a dice in half an hour see the. podium

oh you guys are so do you know. what i think i know. you know i know. more about you know general journalism you know. but if you just read it you'll try to not talk oh no no no no no tiger children are told that you want to. wash your bible as i recall remind all this like i said i don't think he's right the baby number one was in a fat person.
