president faces a city in which he had promised to revive the american manufacturing see factories closed and. begins its mission on mars but some scientists want to stop using words like exploration. when it comes to space they're worried by the complications. around the clock across the world this is your our team international from the team and myself you know neal hello and welcome. julian assange is in the headlines once again with the wiki leaks saying it's ready to britain's guardian newspaper it's accused of fabricating a story of a son secretly meeting. former election campaign chairman paul mana ford wiki leaks

has already launched a fun to support the legal action with a son instructing lawyers on the case the notion of those so named secret talks house rapidly spread over the media and comes as munna ford is also accused of lying to the f.b.i. in a russian code lucian peru. the former trump campaigner was jailed this year after being found guilty of charges including buying can tax fraud mana forty agreed to take part in the muller probe over alleged russian meddling during the twenty sixteen u.s. election campaign he denies cooperating with russia ever indeed meeting. this story is totally false and deliberately libelous i have never met julian a sancerre 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 although a scandal comes as a u.s. judge postponed a ruling on whether to reveal possible charges against a stone which will kill up and cannot break down for us the fury surrounding the case as far as the us government is concerned julian aside 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 court and julian assange and work together during the twenty sixteen campaign they allege that there were secret meetings between paul man of war crimes lawyer and julian assad all man of forty three secret

meetings with wiki leaks founder julian assange including one in twenty sixteen around the time he became a truck campaign chairman he met three times with wiki leaks founder julian a son living in ecuador's london embassy man afford met with wiki leaks founder julian assange on 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 explosive 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 one. 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 remember this day when the guillotine permitted a serial fabricator to totally destroy the paper's 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 u.s. 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. in the first amendment does not require the government to confirm or deny the existence of criminal charges and the skis so if julian assad has 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 assad is working for a foreign government this is cut and dried wiki. leaks is an outlet for foreign propaganda and julian assange 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 a scientist 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 you in a songe and that we have no right to know what those charges are if they actually exist so much for transparency. r.t. new york just an additional note on this while the guardian hasn't officially common to all me from wiki leaks former m i five officer i mean the show i'm told is that she believes the u.s. will go to any lengths to fix charges against us all. in 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 just to prosecute julian assange venture the fact that he's shown a very bright license and very murky and 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 pool manifold to move the. don't try. big sort of russia gate type thing whereas a few unpick the details none of that hangs 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. i'm investigation is ongoing into some. in the current straits off the coast of crimea russia's security services seized three ukrainian ships which they say violated an agreement regulating the safe passage of vessels in the area a dozen ukrainian sailors are due to appear in court in simferopol today when the

incident brought russia and ukraine close to a full blown conflict on a strong attention from across the world are. busy in crimea for us. donald trump has reacted somewhat negatively speaking more critically of russia than he has in a long time saying that you know if this was indeed the case of a case of russian aggression that he will most likely condemn it but also saying that he's going to wait for an official report from his advisors this that what happened there in the black sea that will be very determinative maybe i won't have the meeting maybe i won't even have the meeting i don't like that aggression i don't want that aggression at all absolutely and by the way europe shouldn't like that aggression and germany shouldn't like that aggression he was speaking there of course of a pre-agreed meeting with vladimir putin on the sidelines of the g twenty summit in

. both sides have agreed in that meeting but it's now up in the air the russian side says it has taken into account the president drops comments it is also saying that it is ready to correct me if you can schedule in argentina which is being written down to the last minute but we've heard criticism from other officials in the united states other countries well officials in the u.s. calling for more sanctions for the european union to enforce additional sanctions on russia we've also heard much from the media especially from the more critical when it comes to russia channels president trump issued an extremely mild rebuke to russia for firing on and seizing three ukrainian ships the ukrainian government's traditional back is also spoken out for example we've heard condemnation from great britain from canada the stony and government has called the russian ambassador in the country to account for what happened but just to recap quickly what happened

here in the streets of kutch on sunday three ukrainian patrol boats say the russians were approaching russian territorial waters which they and. did they were asked what they intended to do they said that they had no intention of crossing the street of. but the continued making their way through a certain point refusing all communications from russian border patrol vessels then ounce their intent to cross the street of kutch without the russians say filing notification what ensued was a dangerous high speed chase in the streets of vassal after which the ukrainian vessels were fired upon eventually seized in the cruise twenty four people in old sailors offices and s.b.u. counter-espionage agents detained the russian side also claims to have found documents that ordered these vessels to proceed with maximum stealth they found

tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition dozens and dozens of weapons from brigade launches to machine guns the ukrainian side for its claims that he'd fallen notification of its intent to cross the passes the streets of. into the eyes of see that the russians acted brazenly aggressively that this was an act of war the russians we must say that this was a provocative act that the ukrainians ordered by the top by the very top the government itself to carry out this provocative act and to give them justification stablish ing martial law with the sky for months to go until elections. on the growing crimea or afghanistan let's cross live now to france on get the thoughts of professor of political science out the catholic university of the day john laughlin john always a pleasure to have you on the program murat as you might have heard there was just

going through some of the reaction over the last number of days it's only in the last few hours though that we heard from the american president some condemnation not. as usual though the tone a little milder perhaps your thought on not delayed reaction his response. i think we'll have to wait really because we'll have to see whether he cancels his meeting in argentina i think many people observing these events will speculate as indeed as president putin that this is all a provocation designed precisely to sabotage that meeting as we know trump has been under massive pressure obviously on the russian issue ever since he was elected and what the ukrainians and probably their allies in the pentagon and the state department surely calculate is that they need to keep up that pressure they need to keep up the flow of events they need to keep up the flow of incidents which justify either new sanctions or meetings cancelled or whatever so i think this is clearly

part of a strategy on the part of the ukrainian side and indeed on a part on the part of its allies in the west. yeah that of pressure i saw you mention john as well in argentina earlier this week it's the g. twenty of course donald trump another more potent there due to meet after lot to discuss of course do you think it will go ahead. probably probably i do but. unfortunately as i say i think that the ukrainian regime and its western allies are playing with fire on this because it's quite clear that there was a provocation i don't think any serious observer can can deny that and moreover there's a lot of background to this because european politicians have been stirring the pot over the sea of hours of they passed a resolution in the european parliament in october the americans of course announced the shipment the delivery of two navy ships to ukraine in other words

they are rearming ukraine specifically the ukrainian navy so we can see that the west at the americans and its european allies and the european allies are determined to increase the tension with russia to increase the tension. and this of course is exactly the opposite of what everyone agreed to do it minsk at men's clay agreed to deescalate tensions but since the summer as i say the americans have decided to to ratchet them up and that's what's happening at the moment what's your feeling on the actual referee because there has been calls for the west and for nato indeed to react sharply to the current standoff how dangerous are such the man's like that the language being used there. i think they are quite dangerous because of course they encourage the ukrainians in their very reckless behavior and after all there was a physical clash between these ships so you know the next time it could be worse they could be casualties whether there's any danger of escalation to that to

a full military conflict i rather doubt because i think the high point of that conflict passed in in twenty fourteen and twenty fifteen and obviously we all know that russia is a nuclear power so it's not a country that one messes with likely i think the danger the real danger of course is also inside ukraine itself because the introduction of martial law will severely aggravate the already perilous situation in that country it will severely deformed the circumstances in which the presidential elections are due to take place early next year will give the regime there the power to at the very least to control the media and so on. so unfortunately it's dangerous in the sense that it increases tensions at a time when and when as i say they should be being decreased instead through dialogue john thanks for your time this are professor of political science at the catholic university of the vandy in france john locke lent thank you. go

back to monday nasa has insight mars lander touched down safely on the red planet and you may be thinking the missions might exploration but some in the space agency itself are raising questions about that particular narrative. but i quote myself it's still not important. smart it's because it a raises the history a quantum isolation head on an uncommon. cut cut cut cut. cut. cut. cut

cut cut. cut cut. cut. exploration over 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 putting to use that would means you're already starting on the wrong foot language is all first impression. i don't believe man i know you don't use a martian remark martin how much have you come far from home mark. thanks. can we be trusted to be in balance with marse if luke used to be in balance with. i think we need to clean up our mass before we start making new maps somewhere else the to cut.

for the shortest route offered. you know world big partisan. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made history media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and 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. as big as the russia and saudi arabia but as you're making there is that they're actually losing money on every. twenty minutes into the program welcome president trumps in the firing line accused of failing to keep a signature campaign promise american car maker general motors closing five factories and losing around fourteen thousand workers including in a telling where trump pledge to protect american jobs explains the president's

words are coming back to haunt him when he made bold pledges like. they're all coming back well. not now. 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 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 ross bill 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 browns warning of jim chiefs pilfering government to 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 by their call once he quits the white house i got to get inside a brand new chevy volt fresh out the line even though secret service would let me drive it was when i said that in 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 plants just before the festive season

a cool 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. the president himself reacted to the news by tweeting his disappointment with the decision he also threatened to cut government subsidies for the company and confirmed his pledge to protect american manufacturing jobs well with those job losses firmly in people's minds president trump seems to be looking for new ways to make america great again he's even considering a state run t.v. network eager said on off takes a look at how if it ever makes it to her of course that channel might measure up against other global networks. it's been a long brutal and tiresome fight fake fake disgusting. out fake i am not going to give you a question you are fake doos 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 em 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. 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 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 would be a rush well you know what this is oddly enough day 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 o.c.

pepper spray it's literally water pepper 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 night shows here at c.n.n. so some spicy peppery nachos with a water cannon 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. . all right it's to go to gemstone for some of the biggest events in our lives but just a gleaming an industry is the global diamond trade watching the hawks delve deeper in moments.

moujik was counting them out. i'm one of them but i think. they will when they will one day as we're buddies. they both plot on. one should have been there so. i don't want that or i can't that's funny as hell and mission to know that i want to hear that yeah. bloom gets killed and had a chicken dad when i say he made them with a photo of the man that he i want to go to both for out of this.
