donald trump's presidency appears to be on shaky ground after two former associates are found guilty of numerous federal crimes but u.s. leadership is at pains to point out that the special counsel probe which led to these convictions is yet to throw up any evidence that his campaign team polluted with russia. where is their drugs or you know they're still looking for closure where they're going to find the killers or. the french interior ministry admits that a terror suspect involved in planning an attack in two thousand and fourteen was freed by a court due to a bureaucratic failure. real footage of a british policeman striking a teenage girl in the face or during the arrest causes outrage and triggers bait

about what constitutes reasonable force. to growing police officers can find a way of restraining a fourteen year old go back to the. police officer uses any fools whatsoever it's described as police brutality which is a. broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is our chief international thomas glad to have you with us and there was a plenty of talk on wednesday about donald trump's presidency which is now looking increasingly precarious two of the u.s. leaders former associates have been convicted of federal crimes it was left has left trump in hot water as his ex lawyer has implicated him and campaign and financial violations and the media is already getting in a spin over the possibility of impeachment. can he be impeached with this i think

the beginning has to be set and mark right now and we're in a watergate moment but there is i think a lot for the president to fear impeachment then list discussed in mainstream media discourse today it seems became a little more realistic for trump although it's not exactly what you might think nefarious links to russian agents or collusion with the kremlin something far more mundane as his former lawyer michael cohen pleaded guilty to bank in tax fraud he also admitted guilt in campaign finance charges allegedly paying off former mistresses of trump for their silence on the orders of the now president in a double whammy trump's former campaign manager pulled out of fort was also found guilty of numerous personal fraud charges potentially facing years in prison but what about those russian links after all that's what the attorney general authorized special counsel miller to dig up coordination between the russian

government and individuals associated with the campaign of president donald trump they found buying ten tax fraud evasion lies to the f.b.i. hush money but no russian collusion they could use the right here in which we got our. where is their goal loser you know there's no looking for collusion where is the closure finds a delusion it's a day of embarrassment for trump and bad timing too with midterm elections approaching and democrats looking for any i mean if they can find the president though will view this as a vindication a year and a half later after several investigations the russian leak story still seems dead in the water although who knows what else the ongoing investigation will find the fact that they haven't come up with anything and that the all they've managed to claw back with paul metaphor is mis firings and some bank fraud charges. the same

with cohen in violation of campaign. regulations finance regulations that proves there is no russian collusion or they've wasted two years to find fairly pedestrian violations sure if you went into any of the campaigns including hillary clinton's and spent two years with an investigation team in the grand juries i'm sure you'd find a lot more than this filings and maybe some violations of campaign finance laws well donald trump has given his first direct response to his former associates allegations against him the us president went on twitter praising former campaign chief paul metaphor for not breaking under pressure while at the same time accusing x. lawyer michael cohen of making up stories in order to get a plea deal. the french interior ministry has admitted that a bureaucratic error led to the release of a terror suspect allegedly involved in plotting an attack artie's many financial

reports now from paris. an interesting story here in fronts and the alleged islamist terror plot i was freed here early in april because an investigating judge had forgotten to renew his pretrial custody and this information was first emerged in the local media but later was also confirmed by france's justice ministry the spokesperson of the french government has called it a failure or to go it is obviously agree failure i think the justice minister already initiated an internal probe to identify the reason for the speech and then introduce certain amendments to prevent such things from happening in the future because obviously the priority now is to find this individual the man who was one of the defendants in the case over alleged planned terror attack in the new an area here in france in two thousand and fourteen and was also believed to be part of a terrorist network sending fighters to syria he was one of fifteen people accused of being involved in this activity and eight of these people have already left

friends to fight in syria and iraq after the man was freed in april justice ministry says he's been under strict judicial control which means he had to come to an assigned police officer twice a day to report his activity and his whereabouts and he was restricted on movements but just one month after that in may the same a man was found outside the restricted area he was driving a car without a license and there were pictures found on his cell phone that could be classified as islamic state group propaganda the man appeared in front of the judge immediately after that but he was freed again and as we just heard from the government spokesperson and now they are sorties are trying to find this man. parasite based political analyst drano bruno diversity thinks the incident could indicate systemic problems in the french justice system. if it was not so tragic it

would be a joke because it's type talk and he was treated so i mean it's completely illogical after all we can understand a bureaucracy carrot one but two types too hard but never it looks so it's just incredible this year there was a lot of error. and of course there is bureaucracy but there is also the fact that to try to do justice in france is overcrowded i mean there is too little judges for too many chances so there are problems independently from this case but i don't think it's just a bureaucracy error i think it's a general. situation. the russian leader has sharply criticized the latest sanctions drive against moscow calling the measures a futile vladimir putin's remarks came during a joint news conference with the president of finland and such.

regarding the sanctions those actions are counterproductive and meaningless especially when it comes to a country like russia so it's not just about the us president's position it's about the position of the so-called establishment the ruling class and brought it to i hope the realisation that this policy has no future will come one day we will cooperate in a normal fashion. sanctions over the poisoning of a russian former intelligence agent and his daughter in the u.k. which the kremlin has been accused of orchestrating are expected to come into effect this wednesday they will focus on exports of american made electronics used in the aeronautical and space industries moscow says the measures won't affect the russian public now in november moscow could face further restrictions described by a u.s. state department official as more draconian this could include more limits on trade and banking and cuts to diplomatic relations the measures under consideration may

also ban russia's state airline from entering u.s. airspace although washington says the coming round of sanctions is in response to the attack on sergei and yulia screen the investigation into the case is still ongoing so far no hard evidence of russia's involvement has been made public. has been gauging what americans make of the latest moves against russia. well if you watch the recent hearings on capitol hill american politicians or rather al spoke out about what they think about these new moves against russia ongoing efforts to interfere in our sacrosanct election process seize and those of our allies are just some of the unacceptable behaviors of the putin regime putin wants to break apart the american republic russia's attempts to interfere in the two thousand and sixteen u.s. presidential election are well and widely known russia has undertaken a campaign of malign activities in its attempt to compete with us our allies and our partners and cats up to thirty one gives us more tools with which to respond

however a new gallup poll shows that among the u.s. public fifty eight percent that's well over half favor improving relations between the usa and russia and that it's just over a third thirty six percent that say they want further steps against moscow and now we decided to go out on the streets of new york and talk to people about these new sanctions more than half of americans want the usa and russia to get along better are you one of those people i wouldn't mind yes one i want everybody to get in the room you know thinking unities the way to go peace you know where we fighting with russia. who knows the truth is obviously known only to being you know these tell you one thing that it could be do you have another reason for playing you know they've put sanctions on russia before and according to the officials there hasn't stopped their activities so i think it's a good move to keep doing them. and maybe more the cold war was terrible for

everybody you know we need to thread the delicate needle of not encouraging bad behavior while recognizing that there are a world power that needs to be respected for their capabilities and you know navigating through that is not simple i think that it's important that we do they have to be and finding and eco substances into other countries that were allied with illegal subs. in the u.k. it is pretty to be related to the government in russia anyway more than half of the americans want better relations between the two countries why do you think that should be more. and i mean did you think you'd be good for the usa and russia get along right you think so absolutely why can't we get along with russia i mean i think that we can but it would be really difficult right now in the situation that where and when. you know the current president i mean it's nice to get along but you can't trust russia they always been on the hand you know the me so they get what they deserve a better relationship with everybody in favor of russia and we would think a hundred percent of our country wants

a better relationship with russia and i would think a hundred percent of russians want to better relationship with us and the north koreans and the iranians and the mexicans and you know and the people in new jersey for that matter they say that this is the best way to deal with russia's malign activities are these sanctions do you buy that argument now you know you don't really believe anything anymore and i am led to believe the people that we spoke to seem to overwhelmingly feel that it would be better if the united states and russia could see eye to eye get along more now that certainly just isn't the feeling on capitol hill we've heard a lot of hostility to russia from american politicians but it's just not there on the streets. former wall street journal correspondent joe believes u.s. politicians are using the so-called russian threat as a distraction from internal problems. the whole thing is quite a conundrum for me why they continue to try to politicize this issue and use sanctions of some way to help them domestically except that they're trying to cover

up their own shortcomings their own short changing of the american people and to try the blame our divisions in our economic crisis in our racial divide here on an on an outside power which is the oldest trick in the book going back to the beginning of civilization if the democrats lose or do not do as well as they hope in the november election having used rusher again as their as their main talking point they may have to readjust and realize that the progressive wing of the party is growing and that the american people don't give a damn about russia and that they have to finally address the real issues here and leave this russia issue alone and get back to normal relations with this country that is that it's imperative for. for world peace essentially. trouble has broken out at the border of a spanish enclave in morocco where hundreds of african migrants attempted to storm the coastal city of in their efforts to reach europe the resulting clashes saw police officers attacked with acid.

well police say seven officers suffered burns from acid or a similar substance thrown at them it is the second time in a month that migrants have attempted to breach the border of the spanish territory inside bronco in july and around six hundred migrants tried to break through into. a video of a british policeman striking a teenage girl in the face has caused outrage in the u.k. we'll have that story and others after a short break this is our two international. you know world of big partisan through things. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to

dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. with no make this manufactured consensus to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go live to be the one percent. in all middle of the room sick.

and welcome back this is our to international in a video has emerged of a british police officer slapping a fourteen year old girl during a rasta the images soon spread online and fired up a reaction from both the public and the police please be aware that the video we're about show you does contain violence. thank you but your was was. was was i was ok just pressure was trying to do it was a guy that was your question. and police say

they responded to a disturbance involving youths fighting while officers attempted to get the girl under control the male officer struck the teenager in the face and claimed that it was in response to her trying to grab the officers taser and radio as a result the girl and a fifty two year old woman were arrested on suspicion of assaulting a police officer two officers had to receive medical treatment for bite marks and cuts to the head of the officer's actions have divided opinion in britain with some calling for him to be sacked while others praised him for doing a difficult job why would a fully grown man police officer need to palm strike a fourteen year old girl the video shows nothing more than police brutality the officers in question need sacking the open palm head was to disorientate her so they could get her arms she was being very violent in my opinion i'm not force was

very necessary police chiefs have defended the officer's actions saying the video does not give the full picture of the situation we understand this footage may appear concerning however officers are trained to use restraint it makes which may look shocking to untrained on will curse. or earlier our former british police inspector and a social justice campaigner went. with a very reactions clearly to many people like myself it seems that there must have been a better way of dealing with that situation than bashing that go in the head in bashing the head into a metal shutter to grown place officers can find a way of restraining a fourteen year old girl back to them not using a stylus i just tell us that's why this is this is wise and tell us your the police officer you tell me the only alternatives available to the officer that i could see were allowed to keep a name and snatching his taser and radio which wouldn't have ended well or take it to the ground and then you'd be moaning about having police officer on

a four year old going on the grey and if the officer's use of force isn't right then he would be prosecuted or disciplined for it that act of bashing that would bashing that girl in the head and i do think it makes a difference that she was a forty year ago if she was a you know six foot tall man i think would be a different situation in times and. i think if the police aren't trained to deal with fourteen year old girls that are being violent in ways that don't require them to bash them in their heads into metal metal shutters since any police officer uses any force whatsoever it's described as police brutality which it isn't you also keep saying for a lot that has any relevance fourteen year old girls calls are just like anybody else telling me that two grown police officers two grown police officers with four limbs to deal with on one person they can't restrain those four limbs and and the body without bashing the head into mental chatter and to go back to a point i made before and i don't for you this wasn't about having a hate to

a man you should have taught it was. this is about recognizing that if the police can respond to a video like that with with pure defensiveness i think the problems are only going to get worse between sections of the public that already have a lot of doubts about the police that closed matter in the us for instance it's not as if the please. having been brutalizing people for many years is that people now have smartphones and can record it you would be better off supporting the police in trying to keep order and questioning why fourteen year old girls are brawling in the streets with other children of that a each instead of questioning the actions of the police doing their best to deal with that situation. and there is concern over facebook's latest tool to tackle fake news which will involve the valley waiting users based on how trustworthy they are online it is in addition to the sites existing efforts to stem the spread of misinformation and the idea is to protect users from others who indiscriminately

flagged up a fake news as real and vice versa and the system will even be used to predict which articles need to fact checking based on that user's history of posting stories now despite facebook boosting its efforts to get rid of fake news there are still a few big questions about this latest method by which users or which countries will be a part of the new fake news and it's also not known how the evaluations will affect individual users on the side or how the process will be monitored it has put facebook in the media firing line but the social media giant insists that it is not as bad as it sounds we developed a process to protect against people indiscriminately flagging news is fake and attempting to game the system the reason we do this is to make sure that our fights against misinformation is as effective as possible. not all facebook users are convinced by the company's reassurances they accuse it of moving towards censoring

facebook's practices i think it's political pressure i think it really comes down to that they are putting themselves. in the position of mediating human relationships which is first of all a very unhealthy thing to do and it's something that they really are grossly. incompetent to do and users primarily will not know what is being done to them and they will be manipulated in all sorts of ways we don't know what kind of place people need to understand that if you're using facebook you are not the customer you are the products and they are going to use you and every single way they can get away with because the better they use you the higher their stock price goes. right supports a giant nike is facing backlash in the u.k. after releasing a controversial winter sports a garment with some suggesting that the company is cashing in on gang culture the.
