in seoul's bray and now some news outlets are saying that these revelations about germany having a sample and passing it on appears to explain how britain was able to identify it but at the same time the revelation also goes to show that a whole wrong countries have had a sample of this nerve agent for nearly two decades now and as one of the newspapers that published this investigation has said this british theory that the poison could only come from russia shows unjustified confidence. polly that was artie's go for us there in london. the biggest witch hunt in american history that donald trump's playbook the ongoing investigation into election meddling he does come after the republican dominated u.s. senate intelligence committee concluded that trump was elected with the help of the russians something though the president himself has strenuously denied. the

russian effort was extensive sophisticated and old by president putin himself for the purpose of helping donald trump and hurting hillary clinton so we've heard this story countless times but at this time the bipartisan republican led committee found that there was collusion now how is this different from every other story well republicans on the committee actually agreed with fellow democrats that not only did russia interfere in the election but the influence campaign was apparently directed by president putin himself to elect donald trump however just three weeks ago the house intel committee also a bi partisan republican led committee found that there was no collusion the committee found no evidence that meetings between trump associates and official representatives of the russian government reflected collusion coordination or conspiracy with the russian government now the democrats completely dismissed the committee's assessment saying that it was incredible that republicans couldn't see
1:02 pm
collusion throughout the investigation committee republicans chose not to seriously investigates or even see when in plain sight evidence of collusion between the trim campaign and russia and guess what democrats have pledged that they'll continue to investigate this collusion so now there's three separate investigations all contradicting each other and we're not even taking into account investigations conducted by the department of justice and homeland security other congressional committees and of course the infamous muller investigation all those who found. or something who ever found there to be something could not explain what it was so you have to give me an idea of the ludicrous nature of this a number of organizations or. tribunals that found no evidence of wrongdoing but some that found temps desires and the ones that said yes
1:03 pm
we found something could not tell you what it was that they found still ahead this hour an american activist against police brutality claims he's secretly being monitored and i wonder a new f.b.i. program will have a look at that story of the study just after the break. do not miss is not only enough to become of be part of the amount of broker they have taken the seats of make them you know get addicted to the solution they throw in this region to one of the listless extremists in this region have been strengthened and the bravado of them edition by this i mean it comes as a decisions and actions more than any time before moderates and god of war people like me have been destroyed but it was such actions such fascism such apartheid being excited by israel and israel getting away with it i think this is opening the gates of hell in this future.

popes and you should. put themselves on a lot. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and. want to be preached. to the right to be this is what. treat people. interested always in the water. pressure. well again our ukrainian court has ordered that russian journalists could have the shin ski be detained for two months for shinseki who's in charge of the region obvious to news agencies kiev bureau was detained on tuesday for alleged treason he was arrested in kiev then transported to person the city in southern ukraine more

than five hundred kilometers from the capital his relatives have heard nothing though since his arrest but since his wife marina says that the journalist has a medical condition and needs medication as its own yard i learned about his arrest from the internet i then contacted his driver and he told me that it happened in the car park five people in civilian clothes came up to him grabbed him and bundled him into a car and left no one contacted me no one from the ukrainian services from official informed me about their arrests and more than that i haven't heard from my husband since monday i can't get my head around this i don't understand why this treason charges and what journalism has to do with treason. well after he was arrested ukrainian security services also broke into the offices of ria novosti ukraine and the searches there did last more than eight hours or so the houses of journalists working for the agency were also to now there's already been high level condemnation against actions here many organizations are accusing the ukrainian
1:06 pm
government of an attack on media freedom and also demanding the release human rights watch is also calling on ukrainian authorities to provide evidence to back up its charges against the journalist we discuss the case with the organizations deputy director for europe and central asia rachel demba. under no circumstances should the government be criminalizing speech and media activities that groundlessly and ukraine i think this is out of line with ukraine's these raids and the detentions are out of line with ukraine's obligations to protect media freedoms there's an obligation to provide some kind of transparency about what exactly is grounding treason charges that an extremely sure serious charge that carries a hefty prison sentence so they better continue to come forward with what it is that's causing the grounds for this charge because working for ria novosti or having a russian passport are not grounds for

nuclear materials we still management environmental cleanup and environmental stewardship so the pentagon wants to weaponize a facility which was intended to be a nuclear arms burial ground but what exactly do they plan to produce pates bombs that when armed with nuclear warheads can create a blast to one thousand times stronger than that of hiroshima it's expected to produce fifty each year and the u.s. has been crystal clear as to why they need to pay it so badly back in two thousand and ten the obama administration's. with misplaced hope that quote russia is not an enemy it is increasingly a partner close quote anyone who watches the news today knows that this is not the case if it ever was president putin announced that russia is developing building for new and horrific nuclear weapons nuclear deterrence is our number one priority defense mission forces or here three people in infrastructure it's all part of the deter it is time to buckle down and get after all of it nuclear weapon. are popping
