10:05 pm
mainstream media indicating that he's getting ready to release a bombshell about trump russia collusion now the press has been salivating like a hungry hound anxious to get their hands on the smoking gun the trump russia probe has been waiting for i can tell you that. mr cohen has knowledge on certain subjects that should be of interest to the special counsel and is more than happy to tell the special counsel all that he knows davis isn't just speaking in generalities he said he had information about the d.n.c. being hacked he also said he had information about the now infamous meeting between donald trump jr and two russian nationals supposedly about digging up information about hillary clinton now he says he's willing to share this information with the special counselor except now he's backtracking he says it's all a big misspeak i should have been more clear including with you that i could not independently confirm what happened i regret my ira now the attorney for michael
10:06 pm
cohen isn't just retracting his own words he seems to be throwing cold water on something that c.n.n. treated like a breaking news explosion the reporting of this story got mixed up so michael cohen does not have information that president trump knew about the from terror meeting with the russians beforehand or you know. sources with knowledge tell myself and call that michael cohen claims then candidate donald trump knew in advance about the june two thousand and sixteen meeting in trump tower crucially these sources tell us that cohen is willing to make that assertion to the special counsel wabbit mohler c.n.n. stands by its report why let the truth get in the way of a good story but for donald trump who has been screaming the f. word for months that word is fake by the way this fits his narrative perfectly michael cohen's with. clarified the record saying his client does not know if president trump knew about the trump tower meeting out of which came nothing the
10:07 pm
answer is that i did not know about the meeting just another phony story by the fake news media so why is this such a big deal well if this story had panned out it would have meant that finally bob muller had some significant evidence it's been over a year and a half since the special counsel has been sent out to investigate issues related to trump and russia collusion so far he has uncovered some foul play from some former trump associates but nothing related to russia it looks like michael cohen's lawyer had everyone convinced that finally there would be some real evidence surfacing but alas it looks like we got faked out again still no evidence back to square one but it looks like the investigation has no sign of stopping. r.t. new york. says seems that is some evidence that's come from the hands of trump himself.
10:08 pm
the to. cut. was. was. i noticed the similarity between this plaque that trump colored and this other one from russia it appears from may have been trying to color in the flag of russia at some point someone will notice that by coloring in a blue stripe into the red and white stripes of the u.s. flag today president trump was starting to create a russian flag now that's what i call the freud and sleep from color to blue stripes on his u.s. flag we all know we don't have random white stripes but russia flag has red white and blue stripes from subconscious trying to communicate we should listen.

to the to. according to former u.s. congressman michael patrick flanagan this case demonstrates u.s. media is not interested in the truth. he suddenly has to be accurate lanny davis says or i'm going colorful career washington. saying outrageous things and behaving in an outrageous way but now this the stakes are so i suddenly realized he has to tell the other version a complete truth that his exaggerations are not going to be tolerated and now the source of the story says it's not a story but c.n.n. still wants it to be a story and i think your viewers can see the state of the news media in the united states now which is broken to very poor and they're not they're not really interested in truth for truth sake they're interested in little bit of the color of

10:12 pm
this. horrific tragedy. the un report also blames the country's de facto leader aung sang suu kyi the knots using her role moral authority to stop the atrocities she's previously won and noble peace prize along with a u.s. congressional gold medal and has been a darling of the western media throughout the last year she repeatedly denies any ethnic cleansing took place when you use terms like ethnic cleansing which i think is a little extreme it just plays into the hands of extremists and not a fact finding mission appointed by the united nations would not help help the situation it would have created great cost to achieve between the different communities do you ever worry that you will be remembered as the champion of human rights the nobel laureates who fail to stand up to ethnic cleansing in our
10:13 pm
own country no because i don't think that ethnic cleansing going on i think ethnic cleansing is too strong an expression to use what's happening at the state council or. we have been able to do more than what she has and. she was clearly derelict of her responsibilities and we were just a disappointment that she didn't. more authority. to do something about this you had to start to stand. policies that need to be there to address. the syrian government says it's ready to recapture the last major rebel stronghold of its lip damascus has been deploying additional forces to the front line of the un place though it still says it's willing to pursue a course of reconciliation however that idea was snubbed by the key militant group

10:17 pm
missile barash well me a weeks before that the russians warned the battles were preparing to stage a chemical attack now they're warning it will happen it. which begs the question why oh why would ask who has almost won this war why would he launch a chemical attack and invite disaster now there is no value for syria or its allies in using chemical weapons against any of the terrorists syria is already winning syria has already won along with its allies along with russia and with iran and hezbollah they have already essentially defeated the tech feed terrorist cleanup time the other thing you've got is we have so many times been told that the organization for the preventing prohibition of chemical warfare has emptied syria of all of its chemical weapons this happened a few years ago but we keep getting told syria is making chemical weapons.
