1:00 am
yeah. there still. are headlines stories this hour donald trump a box trucks on his order to immediately release declassified documents regarding the f.b.i. government officials involved in the russian coalition. led the u.s. state department accuses the syrian government sound its allies of assisting terrorists in the country we examine whether the claims correspond with the reality
1:01 am
on the ground. and coalition course ahead of what's being billed as the greatest fighter in mixed martial arts history called. meet the press with the paris set to do battle in two weeks' time. we are all fighting for it here in r t h q as well in the russian capital good to have your company this sunday morning and only in our top story president delayed his own order to declassify documents related to the on going russia collusion probe the files were expected to shed light on alleged conflicts of interest and ethics of certain f.b.i. and government officials. i met with the d.o.j. concerning the declassification of various unredacted documents they agreed to
1:02 am
release them but stated that doing so may have a perceived negative impact on the russian probe also key allies called to ask not to release therefore the inspector general has been asked to review these documents on an expedited basis i believe he will move quickly on this and hopefully on other things which he is looking at in the end i can always declassify it if it proves necessary. speed is very important to me and everyone well on monday the president announced he had ordered the declassification of several pages of the foreign spy surveillance war into on for a trump campaign aide carter page additional documents concerning former f.b.i. director james comey as well as other former top f.b.i. officials killam up and brings us more now on what could have influenced the president to put the potentially explosive document release on hold this delay
1:03 am
comes in apparently he's waiting for the department of justice to review the documents before they are made available to the public now this is quite a u.-turn from donald trump when he initially spoke up he gave a very strong statement saying that he was going to make the documents from the probe very public that he had this authority as president we want transparency what i want is i want total transparency this is a witch hunt republicans are seeing it that democrats know it's a witch on to but they don't want to admit it because that's not good politics for them but it's a terrible witch hunt and it turned our country and i want transparency and so does everybody else we should open it up for people to see now donald trump mentioned the democrats and trump was certainly under a huge amount of pressure from the democratic party many democratic leaders were strongly opposed to donald trump making public documents related to the bob muller investigation now we had adam schiff who is
1:04 am
a high ranking member of the house select committee on intelligence he went as far as to call this abuse of power to say that donald trump was acting completely inappropriate lee and harming the ability of the justice department to do its work now interestingly tensions are riding high in washington d.c. in relation to this probe into allegations that trump colluded with russia bob woodward a popular investigative journalist who wrote two books that were very popular. in relation to the trumpet ministration he was being interviewed recently and in his radio interview he stated that in his two years and his two years of investigative work at no point did he find anything showing that donald trump had colluded with russia did you bob woodward hear anything in your research in your interviews that sounded like espionage or collusion i did know and of course i looked for it look for it hard now despite an announcement on monday that these documents would be
1:05 am
made public it appears that that decision is on a whole department of justice is now reviewing the documents the bob mueller investigation continues with many people wondering what will come next and what exactly is the truth or political analyst done in the make albums ses the democrats reluctance to see the documents declassified raises one or two questions. i find it very interesting what a panic the democrats the leading democrats in washington are in over this and not only that but as we know our closest allies are also panicking and they're certainly speculation as to who that might be is it the united kingdom is it the u.k. intelligence services who are all seem to be up to their neck at least in this in trying to discredit running the president but what is really going on here and i think it's really a fascinating thing it would be is an extraordinary extraordinarily public view of
1:06 am
i guess you call it the state and how it operates and how it can overrule the president in getting these things released. ok another story we're closely following today the u.s. state department has stated they rise of terrorism in syria is done to the country's government and its allies igor said on off no analyzes whether the claims in the report correspond with reality with syria there are a few things that have all international play is on the same page the fact that al-qaeda prowse freely through parts of this country is one just like they should know more the debate is about how and who's allowed the terrorists to thrive in syria. over the past decade there are certain regimes permissive attitude towards al-qaeda and other terrorist groups fed the growth of al qaeda i saw in affiliated terrorist networks inside syria washington pins the blame unequivocally on the
1:07 am
force that has spent a large part of the past seven years and lost tens of thousands of men repairing the terrorist onslaught. when peace in syria blew to kingdom come in two thousand and eleven al qaeda was busy from the get go and given the chance to oust the assad government a fact the us validated itself. al qaeda in iraq supported the syrian opposition from the beginning both ideologically and through the media al qaeda in iraq declared its opposition to assad's government because it considered it a sectarian regime targeting sunni's so let me recap al qaeda supported the syrian opposition washington also supported the syrian opposition when it comes to picking the company to entrench yourself with the us made the worst choice imaginable another assumption the new counterterrorism report makes is that syria made its
1:08 am
border think grand central station allowing al qaeda to run loose in and out of iraq except damascus wouldn't have much time to facilitate that for the most part it had no access cut off by the opposition from its own border syrian regime border forces retreated from the border and the opposition forces took over the posts and raised their flag it wasn't until june last year when the syrian army began to recapture those parts of the country and it did so with the help of a rainy and pro-war rainy and forces who have proven to be a considerable power. but in the world of the u.s. state department iran give us and taketh because apparently on its own soil it forces the same terrorists it kills in syria it's a crazy standing of reality and its head but this is very common in the united
1:09 am
states rand is helping the syrians defeat these terrorists in their countries but the united states says iran is supporting al qaeda it behooves the united states to say that iran is involved in this because this builds a case against iran even though it makes no sense so the united states reports whatever needs to report to justify its foreign policy. ok moving on the european broadcasting union has spoken out against policy changes at denmark's largest public t.v. and radio corporation d.r. it criticizes plan budget cuts and a new mission to reduce the promotion of integration of the. sit together and we hear something. about their.
1:10 am
call so instead of more programmes like we just saw focus has shifted to the values of democracy and free speech the company also wants content to portray the country's christian cultural heritage well the changes were published by denmark's ministry of culture with parliamentary support those changes were mainly influenced by the anti immigration danish people's party the second largest political force in the country the opposition has spoken out against the new wording though this is a tightening up we've had put in relative to the previous wording we felt that was too weak dion must present christian cultural heritage to a greater degree i think it's an incorrect prioritization of conservative values it's another step towards a political agenda that doesn't want to integrate people. well the former host of a religious program andujar been thrown home thinks the move is being implemented
1:11 am
to reinforce the country's national identity the previous guidelines also stated that christianity is part of sculptural heritage what is surprising is that they really stress it one more time because after my program closed down one religious program after the other has been shut down because chris and it's he and religion in general has not been prioritized with the immigration that the europeans and also the author of the danes has a problem to define their own identity if a culture is very based on its christian foundations and its christian faith it's much easier for this society to integrate other people so i think that's why they want to stress it simply to strengthen the national identity which is very important in our time where there is so much division in the european societies. ok moving on now one polis tinian has been killed at least three hundred more
