state department accuses the syrian government and its allies of assisting terrorists in the country coming at them with examine whether or not the claims correspond with the reality on the ground. speed is very important to me and everyone last monday the president announced he'd ordered the declassification of several pages of a surveillance warrant on former campaign aide carter page additional documents concerned the excess b. i directed james komi to as well as other former top f.b.i. officials next in the saturday caleb maupin has more on why the president put the potentially explosive document release on hold. this delay 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 but when he initially spoke up he gave a very strong statement saying that he was going to make the documents from the
7:02 am
probe very public that he had this authority as president we want transparency what i want is i want total krantz parents that 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 a shift who is 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 here anything in your research in your interviews that sounded like espionage or collusion i did it and of course i looked for it look for it hard now despite trump's announcement on monday that these documents would be made public it appears that that decision is on the whole you 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. you kill them open their will political analyst and mcadams told us the democrats reluctance
7:04 am
to see the doc was declassified does raise some questions. i find it very interesting what a headache the democrats 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 i guess you'd call it the deep state and how it operates and how it can overwhelm the president in getting these things released. also this weekend the u.s. state department blamed the rise of terrorism in syria on the country's government and its allies its according to washington's latest report on the matter any way it
7:05 am
goes down often losses whether the claims correspond with the reality on the ground 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 this surge 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 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 border the grand central station allowing al qaeda to run moves 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 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

7:09 am
is new wording 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. for the host of a religious program or do you know it in front of them told us the moves being implemented to reinforce a country's national identity the previous guidelines also stated that christianity is part of this cultural heritage what is surprising it 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 at sea and religion in general has not been prototyped with the immigration that the europeans and also the author of the danes has a problem to define their own identity if
7:10 am
a culture is very based on its christin 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 their national identity which is very important in our time where there is so much to mission in the european societies. on palestinians being killed at least three hundred more injured in the rest in the israel gaza border kicked off again last night rallies organized by islamist militant group hamas have been taking place every friday since march are loaded with an ever bigger israeli military presence to gaza place journalist in could reproduce the latest. by. the thousands of palestinians are protesting for the twenty sixth friday and as you see it's ask elating where black smoke is filling the place guys are suffering the place because of palestinians have been injured so far as you see more injuries are

back to the comedy show where americans in america covering american news are called foreign agents. so let me get this straight the supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh has attempted rape allegation against him the president has been accused of sexual assault or harassment by a mere twenty one women one of them this way put out a book describing his penis which is something no one should have to picture. but on the other side at least the democrats don't have any history of sexual misconduct. this means out of the past four presidents we've heard in detail about two of their penises which is about seven too many. anyway we have that going on but what would the trump administration. and tell you is the serious crime we all really need to be focused on and the white house is secretly amassed a committee of federal agencies from across the government to combat public support
