a backlash over what people see as his broken promise to protect american workers. and set to appear in a russian court after admitting they intentionally ignored orders to stop their ships and follow sunday's clash with russian and ukrainian vessels in the coach straight crimea. either wednesday morning at nine here in moscow a bomb welcome for me in the team here at r.t. h.q. in moscow your news this morning julian assange in the headlines once again with wiki leaks saying it's ready to sue britain's guardian newspaper it's accused of fabricating a story of a secretly meeting donald trump's former election campaign chairman paul manifold wiki leaks has already launched a fund to support the legal action with a santa instructing lawyers on the case the notion of those secret talks is rapidly spread across the media and comes as a force also accused of lying to the f.b.i.

in a russian collusion probe on the former campaign manager was jailed earlier this year after being found guilty of charges including bank and tax fraud manifold agreed to take part in the middle probe of a russian meddling into the twenty sixteen u.s. election he denies cooperating with russia as well as meeting a son. this story is totally false and deliberately libelous i have never met julian a songe or anyone connected to him i have never been contacted by anyone connected to wiki leaks either directly or indirectly i have never reached out to a songe or wiki leaks on any matter we are considering all legal options against the guardian who proceeded with this story even after being notified by my representatives that it was false and the scandal comes as a u.s. judge disposer ruling on whether to reveal possible charges against the wiki leaks founder kind of hope and has more on that. as far as the u.s. government is concerned you in a songe co-founder of wiki leaks is no good time to call out wiki leaks for what it

really is a non-state hostile intelligence service often abetted by state actors like russia being hostile to the united states and damaging its reputation that's not illegal however working with a foreign government to try and influence election results that might be illegal at this point the guardian newspaper in the u.k. is claiming that paul the man of war and julian assad work together during the twenty sixteen campaign they allege that there were secret meetings between paul man of war crimes lawyer and julian aside on all manner of forty three secret meetings with wiki leaks founder julian assange clearing one hundred twenty sixteen around the time he became a trump campaign chairman he met three times with wiki leaks founder julian a son living in ecuador's london embassy hall man afford met with wiki leaks founder julian assange and john several occasions there was some sort of a coronation or collusion this would seem like there's more evidence pointing to

that if it's true of course the implications are explicit right they only relied on an unnamed source allegedly from ecuador and they gave no explanation as to why the london metropolitan police who spent millions of dollars to monitor the ecuadorian embassy around the clock didn't detect such a meeting why is there no evidence why is there no evidence in the visitors logs that are supposedly complete and thorough and manifolds not there there are video cameras everywhere and police everywhere and there's no record we can withhold judgment and remain skeptical but a possible explanation for the lack of evidence is that there isn't any evidence our channel has actually reached out to the london police to see if they can confirm that such a meeting ever took place now we've not yet received any response wiki leaks is saying they will pay big money to anyone with proof of such a meeting or. member this day when they go and permitted a serial fabricates a to totally destroy the papers reputation wiki leaks is willing to bet the go

indian a million dollars and he said it is that manifolds never matches so on the story is getting even more twisted it turns out the guardian has been editing their article in the aftermath of publishing it words like would have and apparent and hoax are being added it looks like they're starting to back away from some of the allegations they made about man a fourth has been revealed to the sun just possibly facing criminal charges in the us a court filing related to a son was mistakenly made public the reporter's committee for the freedom of the press is demanding that any charges against you in a songe be made public they are taking this to court where the prosecution is arguing that the charges do not have to be made public if they exist. the first amendment does not require the government to confirm or deny the existence of criminal charges and the skis so if julian assad is arrested at that point we will then know what he's been arrested for now this is a little bit strange you would think that if the government is spending resources

and money in order to try and apprehend a criminal that we ought to be privy to know what crime he has allegedly committed however at this point it's widely alleged that julian assange is working for a foreign government this is cut and dried wiki leaks is an outlet for foreign propaganda and julian a son she is an enemy of the american people he deserves to spend the rest of his life in an american prison but how do you prove that after all wiki leaks is an independent outlet now some suspect that julian assange could be charged under the espionage act of one thousand nine hundred seventeen that's an obscure law that goes all the way back to world war one makes it illegal to publish government secrets that could damage national security if indeed a songes charged under the espionage act that would be the first time a publisher has been prosecuted and many civil liberties advocates fear that this could have a chilling effect making the press afraid to publish information given to it by. sources at this point we know that there may or may not be criminal charges filed

against julian aside and that we have no right to know what those charges are if they actually exist so much for transparency kaleb up and r.t. new york while the guardian hasn't officially commented on the accusations from wiki leaks for my five office unemotional thinks the us will go to any lengths to fix charges against a stone age. it's been an open secret for many years that there's been a secret grand jury convened in virginia trying to find a charge any charge helical the make up a new law just to prosecute julian assange venture the fact that he's shown a very bright license with very murky and dark details of what the american state was doing it's very very useful for the american establishment and the democrats particularly to conflate everything with one big mass you know pull metaphor. donald trump we can mix is all part of when the big sort of russia gate type thing whereas a few unpick the details none of that holds together whatsoever and i think julian is now becoming a bit of a pawn in

a very high stakes game that in american politics washington politics. american car maker general motors says it's closing five factories and shedding around fourteen thousand workers the move drawn president trump and the firing line too because you might remember he campaigned back in twenty sixteen on a pledge to protect american jobs the president reacted by tweeting his disappointment with g.m.'s decision he also threatened to cut government subsidies for the company as the new bottle explains trump's campaign is coming back to haunt him with pledges like the. serve left ohio i they're all coming back don't sell your house. we're going to get those values up we're going to get those jobs coming back light at the end of the tunnel pledged to general motors workers by donald trump but for from coming over plants now getting closed along with four others in north america over fourteen thousand g.m. workers to get the boot but don't worry you know can't feed your family the c.e.o.

says it's all good layoffs or roth built swing states that put trump in power the donald says he's not happy with like we're. going to do it. you know the. whole body you better get back yet. talk is cheap republican led congress has done a lot for g.m. management policy involved tax cuts worth millions congressman g.m. pocketing that windfall then stabbing employees in the back calling it greed at its worst and more it's insulting aaron and i tell you what he did not lift one finger we sent the president's letter president letters to try to get him in gauged in helping us figure out what the future of this facility is so it's a bronze warning of jim choose pilfering government to help taxpayers have heard it before when barack obama bailed out the bankrupt firm in zero nine the government watchdog notes his administration was happy so approve of that cash going on

excessive bonuses for its management obama added he'd buy their coal once he quits the white house right that did inside a brand new chevy volt fresh out the line even though secret service would let me drive it was when i said i'm five years from now when i'm not transferred than i am. well jim just pulled the plug on that model and five others by the way that news release about axing story optimizing workers and allocating plants just before the festive season but a cool motto zero crushes zero emissions zero congestion at the moment it's one executive tax break five plants shot and fourteen thousand sacked trump and jim exacts you're fired. twelve ukrainian sailors are due in a russian court on wednesday following sunday's clash in the coach straight off the coast of crimea the incident brought russia and ukraine close to full blown conflict assailants are charged with illegally crossing the russian border and

could face up to six years in prison twelve other sailors have already been ordered to be held in pretrial detention for two months after russia's security services seized three ukrainian ships that they say violated an agreement regulating the safe passage of vessels in the area. the showdown took place in the narrow body of water between the russian mainland and the crimean peninsula. ukraine says it ships were intercepted after they'd already left russian territorial waters it claims that it notified moscow about the vessels route and condemned the seizure of its ships as an act of aggression russia says he had ships ignored orders to stop protests prepared their weapons to be ready to fire moscow also says the ukrainian crews actions were ordered by the ukrainian government. and the incident quickly drew attention across the west with many countries expressing their full support for ukraine the british parliament even held an emergency meeting to discuss the issue of police report when i wasn't in the plan but politicians demanded an urgent debate on the situation in the sea or was over and they got it except i would say

that it wasn't much of a debate because the condemnation of russia's actions was pretty much unanimous from president putin's actions have redrawn barstools the borders of the european nation for the first time since second will rule we must never forget or normalize the united kingdom will certainly continue to be committed to the crane's independence sovereignty and territorial integrity to be putin's approach is very similar to the idea of heating a frog in water that he keeps on pushing things and keep from pushing the heat it will not be what you said it's the reaction there was talk of russia being a pariah state ignoring the international rules based system also talking about showing russia the consequences of its actions and debates on how to show ukraine practical support there were a few questions about making sure that president poroshenko of ukraine doesn't abuse this martial law that he's going to be putting in place making sure that he

sticks to the elections that are scheduled for early next year perhaps the brightest note struck from that debate was from the foreign minister saying that the u.k. really wants to have a good relationship with russia if only moscow would behave better now a similar attitude. i mean from across the poland the u.s. state department announced today that it condemns russia's aggressive actions as well canada issued a similar statement saying siding with ukraine calling for russia to release the captured vessels and we heard from the russian foreign minister as well today he was actually in paris meeting with his french counterpart to join even a dream. according to the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov this was all a provocation but not from the russian side from the ukrainian side take a listen you're using your i don't see any need to mediate the ukrainian side and these partners in europe are interested in having such incidents ukrainian allies

should send kiev strong signals so that such provocations never happen again on a practical level border authorities on both sides could have discussed any ten accounts if the ukrainian so i didn't understand something they use the existing procedures back in september. well as is the case with the recent history the international community saying one thing and russia standing firm and saying that's not how we say it a journalist martin sullivan says the ukrainian ships were not following the agreement on passing through the strait. whatever you do you're going to be rolled so if you let the ships through what you've done is you've created a precedent where they will think that they can come back the next star without going through the procedure and they will so you can't really do that but if you stop them then you then you are made to look like the bad guys because you're stopping people most people don't know that there's an agreement about how to use the straits so they don't know that the ukrainians are always up to now we've

fulfilled that egregious so as far as they're concerned the russians are seizing ships well that's the russian seizing ships is an example of their of their bad behavior but of course they don't know the background of course nobody's going to explain the background to the me them and quite sure that most of the parliamentarians for british parliament have no idea what the agreements. straight says and haven't bothered to look. for months media attention has been focused on the protests and anger at the gaza border but now young palestinians and israelis trying to give each other and the world a glimpse into what their lives they're really like. the gods of the world seizing the news is mostly about numbers numbers. numbers of homeless numbers resisting in gaza is that. you can help us find an ugly foil or voices to share our stories with the world.

some of the pictures we post and some of the videos we make or instagram at the side of the story that isn't normal they depict if i may surround libya the stories of regular people the farmer the shoemaker's downstairs everyday people the ones we don't normally hear about in the news the forgotten ones the ones behind the numbers this kindergarden was destroyed by these ready bombardment of a nearby building some of the children went to the kindergarten and found it destroyed but they played with their toys despite the destruction. of humanity and among the i'm alone on a phenomenon the are you going to learn. to. come

up the army. was. how long will the children live on the border here on a daily basis the sounds of loss how long the entire family has been days and nights in bomb shelters where selling stories from a sixteen year old point a few blocks from the police to few we don't have any family tickle stands we just want our lives to return to normal and be able to return to our homes peacefully we want only the right. there's to sleep in peace and not to worry about this situation one place you want to leave normally we didn't do anything to.

go without saying if you think you might not have seen enough of him stand by for trump tavi as our next story after the break.

what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to be. to the right to be crooks it's like the three of them all the people. interested always in the lives of. thanks. a lot again donald trump seems to be looking for new ways to make america great again he's even considering a state run t.v. network because dawn of takes a look at how if it ever makes it to air it might measure up against other global networks. it's been a long brutal and some fight fake fake disgusting news.

i'm not going to give you a question you are fake do is fake comes out very fake to the level of dishonesty is out of control the to go mets and clashed and found themselves in a stalemate now trump appears to be opting for a new approach if you can't beat them join them. throughout the world c.n.n. has a powerful voice portraying the united states in an unfair and false way something has to be done including the possibility of the united states starting our own worldwide network to show the world the way we really are girl writes. and i wonder what it will look like. hello and thank you for joining c.n.n. i'm your host for today anderson blooper and our top story

a huge announcement from the white house nato is obsolete it is many countries doesn't cover terrorism ok some powerful words from the president that the united states indeed has been the biggest loser in this decrepit organization to quote president bad and well actually now we do have some breaking information just in fact donald trump has just announced that nato is very much relevant again now they do fight terrorism i said it was obsolete it's no longer up so late now just to clarify things this is most definitely not a u. turn on behalf of mr president but rather a direct result of his artwork and we have reports that otherwise is fake news speaking of which c.n.n. is proud to be recognized as the only fake free t.v. network and like these other stations especially the.

well on the political front donald trump has revealed that there is no reason to believe that russia meddled in the twenty sixteen election i have president putin he just said it's not russian i will say this i don't see any reason why it would be getting a confirmation from vladimir putin himself never settling for this anonymous source is rubbish just as we don't as well well. now actually we do have an update on this story have a listen and a key said in my remarks i said there were words instead of what. the sentence should have been. i don't see any reason why i wouldn't or why it would be rush. you know what this is hardly an update though obviously would instead of wouldn't i mean yeah the complete opposite of each other but that's just being unpredictable the great thing about our president and now finally that we have that

sorted out to domestic affairs and our contributing show cooking with friends the type of deterrent being used is close to pepper spray it's literally water tap or with a small amount of alcohol for evaporation purposes it's natural you could actually put it on your nachos and eat it well nachos with tear gas topping is actually the only way we have nachos here at c.n.n. so some spicy peppery nachos with a water canon shower to wash away the tears delicious try it if you haven't so that was it our morning kids show this is c.n.n. . you know with trump spring poem of ideas making him look great is a tough gig although the trump network does have a shot at success except it's more likely to put comedy central out of business

instead of the c.n.n. . finally for now on monday it was touch and go for a while but now says insight mars lander did touch down safely on the red planet you may be thinking the mission's all about exploration but some in the space agency are raising questions about that narrative. what's not clear in my solution it's still not ok to use this is mounted because it leaves the history on monday to show yeah not an.

exploration of a red planet exploration exploring the moon and mars proving that it was. i got to make water and grow food on a planet where nothing grows i am the greatest botanist on this planet. you. use that word means you're already starting on the wrong foot language is all folks in french. completely mad i don't use a martian remark i'm going to come far from home might. be trusted to be in balance with mars it's me if you see the imbalance go there. i think we need to clean up our mess before we start making a new message somewhere else.

to get us away from moscow so far this wednesday wherever you're watching thanks for checking in with your next update from me in the same as in about half an hour i hope to see that. it. seemed wrong. just told. me that you get to shape out this day to come to educate and gain from it because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.

what politicians do sometimes and. i put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and she. wanted. to go right to the press that's what before three of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of the college. this should fall. so after reading press for life it needs to be you know if you are going through. invited us about three or four of the twenty fifth anniversary of the founding of the episode. on october fifth remember out this plane was shot down in regard for a good way. to cure reagan.

ron paul secret but the house and a shoot down blew out into the open to make a mistake it's really hard to tehran sir no and i'm not taking any questions they just a second i'm going to ask a journey general meese to brief you on what we presently know what he has found in the united states why. some of. the revelations of the iran contra affair gave new momentum to the work of the peace activists. evidence showed that the weapons were coming from the largest pentagon arms depot on the west coast california's concord naval weapons station. all they were alan and i went out to sit check out the situation. and discovered that on one side of the road. were literally hundreds of buggers with all these weapons.
