international with me. now our top story a sentencing of the first white house official over alleged russian meddling in the twenty sixteen us presidential campaign has been delayed once again donald trump's former national security advisor michael flynn pleaded guilty to a single count of lying to the f.b.i. but says caleb moore can explain the buzz words like treason and meddling what flynn is really guilty of. general michael flynn the only senior member of the trumpet ministration to be charged with a crime by the special prosecutor it was supposed to be a smoking gun the judge didn't mince any words when describing it all along you were an unregistered agent of a foreign country while serving as the national security advisor arguably that undermines everything that this flag over here stands for arguably you sold your country out however the judge took it back his actual crime was telling
1:03 am
a lie to the fed but that's not what the media has been feeding us i feel terrible about that the government has no reason to believe that the defendant committed treason i'm not hiding my disgust my disdain for this criminal offense no treason no sinister connection to foreign adversaries what happened is this in december of two thousand and sixteen as the f.b.i. was preparing to wrap up and conclude its collusion investigation at that point michael flynn had a conversation with russian ambassador thirty. now you'll recall that as far as the media was concerned he wasn't simply an ambassador but a super spy master remember. identified by c.n.n. as a top intelligence gatherer to our spies master in washington d.c. and who we know is the chief spy so course the f.b.i. had no choice but to talk to flynn about that conversation but the way their interview with him was conducted was rather strange no lawyers were present at the white house counsel was not informed when just sat down with the f.b.i.
1:04 am
and at no point did they tell him that what he said could later be used against him in court the f.b.i.'s investigation of a guy who pled guilty to lying to the f.b.i. he should have been warned you shouldn't should've been told you can have a lawyer think of the state of affairs we've ended up in that's nonsense i'm very proud of the way the f.b.i. conducted itself and chill flexible thoughtful pursuit believes where you'd want us to at the time the f.b.i. did not see any wrongdoing. general flynn pleaded guilty to making a false statement to the federal bureau of investigation even though the f.b.i. agents did not detect any deceptions your influence interview what michael flynn apparently said the case leon is that international tensions shouldn't ask following obama's sanction and sacking of the diplomats however michael flynn told the f.b.i. that he couldn't recall the details of the conversation at the very heart of today's microphones news are the repeated lies or false statements made by members of the trumpet ministration well flynn's calls the russian ambassador we're coming to life this is
1:05 am
a man who had three decades in public service often working very closely with the f.b.i. and he should not have had to been reminded that lying to the f.b.i. is a crime general michael flynn oh the horror he sat at a table with russian president vladimir putin and he's supposedly met with a group alleged to be nazi sympathizers and you supposedly kidnapped someone on behalf of turkish president and while we're at it let's mention that his son is apparently part of the investigation and i think the judge was badly informed of the timings and and and information and how these are all related to each other and so his sentencing will be ninety days down the road and i think the judge will be a little more chastened at that time and willing to take the recommendations of the special counsel lin's name has been dragged through the mud at the end of the day however the f.b.i. only found one thing to hold onto a lie. r.t. new york on the same day flinn sentence was delayed to one of the first journalists

to report on an infamous trump russia dossier said that it contains claims that are likely false michael eyes a cough believes the more salacious like is asians made in its may never be proven when the uncorroborated claims first came out in the media it was treated like a bone show revelation. picks up the story. sometimes it takes only one spark one report from one or a handful of journalists from a big outlet to really send the media world into overdrive former british intelligence officer behind the dot ca that contained explosive allegations about president donald trump he also addressed the dossier of alleged dirt on donald trump in russia the report included unsubstantiated claims that russian intelligence compiled a dossier on mr trump during visits to moscow what a good example was when the chief investigative reporter for yahoo news michael

isikoff made a bombshell out of the infamous steel dossier that was a big one remember with the p. tape aka the golden shower compromise with plenty of alleged collusion evidence well here's what the same man says now and december twenty eighth when you actually get into the details of the steel dosia the specific allegations we have not seen the evidence to support them and in fact there's good grounds to think that some of the most sensational allegations will never be proven and are likely folks and this something we find out almost two years since the dossier came to light but back in january twenty seventh seeing hours and hours of airtime on these steel memos bombarded t.v. screens to tell the world a story of collusion plus its thanks to the dossier for one that the f.b.i. secured a warrant to spy on donald trump's advisor pretty serious stuff the dossier was full of claims that could have been seen as good collusion proof the most notable

alleging donald trump's former attorney michael cohen traveled to prague to fix and coordinate all that campaign scheming together with russia and the so-called p.t. was perhaps part of it too with the most bizarre claims that russian security services had blackmailed trump with recordings of his dirty deeds. in a moscow hotel this wasn't just something that randomly came from donald trump the president pretty much repeated a crucial statement by the author of the dossier himself revealed in a court hearing chris steele said the following was supposed to happen as a result of the dossiers publication based on that advice party such as the democratic national committee and she could consider steps they would be legally entitled to take to challenge the validity of the outcome of that election so if she didn't pay for it it was done through one of the klinefelter is asians only
1:09 am
with a specific purpose to find some kind of legal ground to challenge the results of the twenty sixteen vote this just tells you how deeply stark in partisans are in the washington d.c. swap of these partisans lean towards democrats and specifically towards hillary clinton and barack obama this is really an unbelievable literal smear campaign for which grave damages have occurred in the relations between russia the united states to the trump name to the trump family it's cost a lot of money it's cast as. the american system of justice which is supposed to be blind to the good sense there ought to be a real investigation of how this happened and of why it's gone on for so long and people need to be held to account here this is an outrage. with weeks of protests still barely a piece in france the police there are now threatening to launch their own blue vest protests over unpaid overtime and dangerous working conditions the original

widespread yellow vests demonstrations called for fuel tanks levies to be dropped and the political reform but some have been looking away from the government for the sauce of discord and rush to link the movement to russia so it depends key went to find some suspects. it would. at least up the angle some mainstream media was searching for it was the russians who are behind france's mobilization over the yellow vest protest is nothing to do with the high cost of living fuel taxes and deteriorating services in rural areas so we've come out to the streets of paris to find out if they. have been at it again where all they. think i just did one with that.
1:11 am
i've definitely found. by you in paris to make people protest known the to let me. know. when you. see. the russians are they behind the yellow vest precisely. zero of. the party has the news in your month of. the mainstream media say that russia is behind these protests you must be wearing a yellow vest on saturday immediately. was. full display suspiciously could be said of russian activity in france.

channel is accused of censoring is broadcast after it appeared to change a plot called of one of the protesters it initially said mccrone out the last word was deleted it caused mass psyche's ations across social media networks the channel later said it was an error when he spoke to the protester whose placard was altered . i was shocked like many others this censorship by france three counts of shadow in the media in general processes start to think that journalists are in cahoots with politicians and the financial elite this kind of censorship doesn't help the situation people would say we were right in criticizing the media and physically manipulate us which i've heard from many people who said there was shocked as well as a backlash online or twitter facebook everywhere i thought this through and decided to file a complaint to the country's media watchdog. after the outcry from the police the french government made some concessions is proposing three hundred euro bonuses for

officers deployed to protests the police union reacted angrily to that saying its members can't be boss a union representative described officers feelings towards the unrest in the country. the not getting always was superficial even considering the social and professional obligations of our colleagues when they are not in uniform they become yellow vests because we are middle class or even lower because of our salaries or origin so that's why some colleagues feel that they are yellow vests because of the yellow vests really resonates with police summoned. the british government is ramping up preparations for a no deal brags it has to raise the maze withdrawal plan continues to face opposition from m.p.'s the deal can't be adopted if it doesn't receive necessary support in a parliamentary vote for january next year and is while its adoption is in question
1:15 am
the u.k.'s breakfast secretary say it's a no deal scenario is now a serious consideration the government's priority remains to secure a deal but we need to recognise with fourteen weeks to go that a responsible government is preparing for the eventuality that we leave without. three thousand troops will reportedly be put on standby as part of the no deal contingency plan other measures include securing medical and food supplies during the coming weeks families and businesses will also be receiving official guidance on how to prepare for a possible chaotic divorce from the e.u. shanty edwards daschle in london has more on this. well if you're struggling to keep up with all the latest developments you're certainly not alone and one thing that we can all actually agree on and keep up with is the fact that to resume a deal probably won't make it through parliament in january and today the cabinet use its last meeting before breaking up for christmas to agree to ramp up no deal
1:16 am
preparations even though it's still certain still believes that delivering the deal that the prime minister did agree in process is still the government's top priority having said that bracks that is just one hundred days away now so ministers are now preparing for a note let me just talk you through a bit of those preparations we're hearing that all u.k. citizens will be sent information about how to prepare for a no till breakfast and think of it maybe like a survivor sky two a no deal but most worryingly the defense secretary gavin williamson he's saying that three thousand five hundred troops could be put on the streets on standby to help the u.k. deal with the impact what we are doing is putting contingency plans in close and what we will do is have three and a half thousand service personnel. readiness including regulars and reserves and i would support any government department on any contingencies they may need a call that scare mongering or call that sensible but across the channel the european parliament's negotiate has sounded the alarms as well over
1:17 am
a no till breakfast and those like jeremy hunt who glorify no deal broke so they're totally responsible it's not the job of politicians to make the people the lead poor remove. rights to make lives more uncertain there's no such thing as a man there's no deal now as it stands m.p.'s will be voting on careers amazed deal meaningfully in parliament in january the deadline for that is the twenty first which is the absolute last possible date to do so but to resume so should be holding that meaningful vote a week prior to that is still doesn't look too hopeful for the prime minister especially given the fact that the e.u. . toltec categorically that they would not be renegotiating had a deal and they would not be doing say on to any single second stances so now many people are telling theresa may urging theresa may to stop running scared and hold the vote sooner rather than later i think this is just a determination on the policy of the british government to try and scare the people
1:18 am
into putting pressure on the m.p.'s to vote for mrs may is absolutely abominable deal she still thinks she still has to believe that she might get some kind of slip through a concession from brussels which will enable the house of commons to back a drug deal but i did see it happening she still wants to cling on to the illusion of seeing the deal passed but i don't think that will happen i think would end up getting out without a deal the migration crisis in europe continues to cause political upheaval as the belgian prime minister steps down over the divisive issue of back with more on this sound principle of the shall play.
