a. little. yeah. it's. a. little. off the top stories this hour wiki leaks prepares to take the guardian newspaper to court saying it lied over an alleged meeting between julian the song former campaign. also ahead.

we're going to get those values up we're going to get those jobs coming back to. president from faces a backlash of cities in which he promised to revitalize american manufacturing see factories closed and thousands of jobs axed. ukrainian soldiers are set to appear in a russian court after admitting they intentionally ignored orders to stop their ships although sunday's clash between russian and ukrainian vessels in the strait. twenty four seven from. first for you this hour. is 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 song secretly meeting donald trump's former election campaign chairman paul manifold wiki leaks has already launched a fund to support the legal action with the songs instructing lawyers on the case

the notion of those secret talks as rapidly spread across the media and. also accused of lying to the f.b.i. in a russian collusion probe. a former trump campaigner was jailed this year after being found guilty of charges including bank and tax fraud on a ford agreed to take part in the mole a probe over a large russian meddling in the twenty sixteen us election he denies cooperating with russia or meeting us on. 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 the scandal comes as a give us judge postpones a ruling on whether to reveal possible charges against the wiki leaks founder more

on that now from caleb morgan. as far as the u.s. government is concerned doing a side 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 worked together during the twenty sixteen campaign they allege that there were secret meetings between paul man of war crimes lawyer and julian assad oh man of forty three secret meetings with wiki leaks founder julian assange killing 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 on john several occasions there was some sort of

a cordon nation 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 room. but this day when the committee to serial fabricates a to totally destroy the papers reputation wiki leaks is willing to bet the guardian 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's 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 assad 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 assad just charged under the espionage act that will 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 oppen r.t. new york well the guardian hasn't officially come until the accusations from wiki leaks some form a m i five officer an emotion thinks the u.s. will go to any lengths to fix charges against a song. 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 hela probably make up a new law just to prosecute julian assange wanted to avenge for the fact that he's shown a very bright lights on some 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 that you know paul manifold the mood of pro donald trump we can lease is all part of win 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. president trumps found himself in the firing line accused of failing to keep some of his bolder campaign promises american carmakers general motors says it's closing five factories and shutting around fourteen thousand jobs including in a town where trump lead to protect american jobs daniel bushell explains the president's words coming back to haunt him with bob pledges like bees. those jobs have left ohio. they're all coming back don't sell your house. but 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 far from coming by about plants now getting closed along with four others in north america over fourteen thousand g.m.

workers tipped to get the boot but don't worry you now can't feed your family the c.e.o. says it's all good layoffs or in roth built swing states that put trump in power the donald says he's not happy with like i was. doing. you know. you better get back. talk is cheap republican led congress has done a lot for g.m. management policy involves 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 cheese pilfering government help taxpayers have heard it before when barack obama build out the bankrupt firm in zero nine the government watchdog notes his administration was happy to approve of that cash going on

excessive bonuses for its management obama added he buy their coal once he quits the white house i got to get inside a brand new chevy volt fresh off the line even though secret service would let me drive it was when i said that and five years from now when i'm not president anymore. well jim just pulled the plug on that model and five others by the way that news release about axing story optimizing workers on allocating clones just before the festive season but a cool zip. crushes zero emissions zero congestion at the moment it's one executive tax break five plants shot and fourteen thousand sacked trump and g.m. execs you're fired. the president reacted to the news by tweeting his clear disappointment with the decision he also threatened to cut government subsidies for the company and confirmed his pledge to protect american manufacturing jobs.

or those job losses from going people's minds donald trump seems to be looking for new ways to make america great again he's even considering a state run t.v. network he goes down of takes a look at how if it ever gets to where it might measure up against other global that works. it's been a long brutal and tiresome fight fake fake just scares being. how. i am not going to give you a question you are fake fake news comes out very fake to the level of dishonesty is out of control the two 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 world wide network to show the world the way we really are great. 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 absolutely 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. 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 sentence 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 wouldn't be russia well you know what this is hardly an update though obviously you 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 the 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.

. on monday it was touch and go for a while but now says insight miles landa did touch down safely on the red planet now you might be thinking that the mission's about exploration but some in the space agency of raising questions about that narrative. what's not clear and i see it's still not ok to use this mountain because it raises the history on my solution here.

exploration of the red planet exploration exploring the moon and mars proving that in the world. i got to make water and grow food on a planet where nothing grows i am the greatest botanists on this planet. in your face and. to use that would means you're already starting on the wrong foot language is all folks impression. i don't believe man i know i don't use it a martian mark martin how much of it far from home mark. can be trusted to be in balance with mars if we refuse to be in balance go there. i think we need to clean up our mass before we start making a new mess somewhere else.

though without a ukrainian side as captured in the current straight off crimea ritual in a russian court later this wednesday we'll update you on developments when we come back. you know world big movies and conspiracy it's time to wait 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 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks. producing a lot of oil and gas now or energy independence where as big as the russia and saudi arabia but as you're making there is that they're actually losing money on the other. eleven twelve ukrainians say listen to a russian course on wednesday following sunday's clash in the current strikes off the coast of crimea the incident brought russia and ukraine close to full blown conflict the same as a 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 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 men. on the crimean peninsula ukraine says that 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 kiev ships ignored orders to stop and then prepare their weapons to be ready to fire moscow also says the ukrainian crew's actions were ordered by the ukrainian government. and the incident quickly drew attention in the west with many countries expressing their full support for ukraine the british parliament even held an emergency session to discuss the issue as poly boyko reports from westminster. well it 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

president putin's actions have redrawn barstools the borders of the nation for the tonton 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 but in the putin's approach is very similar to the i do heating a frog in water that we keep some pushing things to 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 rule 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 coming 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 u. . craney and side take a listen you're using your party and i don't see any need in mediate if the ukrainian side and his partners in europe are interested in not having such incidents as ukrainian allies should send kiev strong signals such provocations

never happen again on a practical level local border authorities on both sides could have discussed any technicalities if the ukrainian side didn't understand something although they use the existing procedures back in september. well sir as is the case with the recent history of call the international community saying one thing and russia standing firm and saying that's not how we say it. but journalist martin summer 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 hour without going through the procedure or they will so you can't really do that but if you stop them then you then you're 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 strait so they don't know that the ukrainians always up to now will fulfill

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

some of the pictures we post and some of the videos we make or instagram the side of this story that is normally depicted by mainstream media stories regular people on the farm or the shoemaker's downstairs every day. well 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 righty 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. on the mind of the i'm alone among the youth is going to.

come up the army. learn to think of. 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's point of view not from the police going to feel that we don't have any family tickle stands we just want our lives to return to normal and be able to enjoy our homes peacefully we want our armies are brothers to sleep in peace and not to worry about this situation we want to place we want to leave normally we didn't do anything to the.

news for now if you're on the move this wednesday. we'll send you news alerts as when they happen they don't call him bright for that thanks for watching. i got a place called camp sundown the camp for people that can't love the side and they're like so vampire camp is like a safe house i guess they don't have to talk about what they go through with us because we understand her daughter katie was diagnosed with a very rare son sensitive condition if i get sunburned i heal she does or she'll patients when they have problems with the walk to talk to some of the brains of actually shrinking inside the skull gets taken in the brain still small. the

pain is indescribable it's feels like a really really bad chemical burn but it goes through your skin in your muscles way down to the bone. there's no relief. so we're just not sure this is let's just. make this manufactured consent instant to the public well. when the ruling classes project themselves. with the financial merry go round listen to the woman posing. with nor middle of the room signals. i mean real news is.

the world. and one no but i think. one news real body. i don't when i didn't should have been there so. at the end of the month that i think oh i can't that's i mean yes and you should you know that the community yeah and she. gets into any kind of thinking that she will. be made the most of all of the men that you know enough to vote for had a. greetings

and salutation. while the mainstream corporate press have been battling us this week with a new russia gate plot twists in the latest excuse for corporate democrat hipster queen lena dunham's racism is the excuse now is that she was burdened with a chronic blind spot to raise issues because she went to rich good private schools in new york city i guess there actually has been a real important news going on like the under reported recent rash of guns police violence and racism cropping up across the heartland of the united states once again in milwaukee recently released police body cam footage finally confirms what many suspected in the twenty seven thousand police shooting of teenager jerry smith

jr after being cornered by four officers on a rooftop. it confirm that the kid was indeed unarmed and completely innocent of any crime except for i guess the crime of holding a cell phone and trying to surrender while being black in america next door in the snow covered state of minnesota there are reports that a young somali teenager had a handgun waved at her for having the audacity to stand up for herself after being mocked while failing to buy some mcdonald's seventeen year old john abdulhadi told reporters that after she and her friends confronted the man for wrongly accusing her of being in government funded food assistance because she was black the man pulls out his gun and begins to say well the ball and everyone backs up and he runs out the door. and finally in alabama this past thanksgiving holiday twenty one year old black man mantic fitzgerald bradford jr did what every card carrying member of the n.r.a. as told us we were supposed to do during an active shoot.
