the sentencing of donald trump's former national security advisor for lying to the f.b.i. is delayed once again look at how is cases overshadowed by words like treason and meddling. and one of the first journalists to report on alleged trumped russia

collusion now say he's the blockbuster claims made by a key source unlikely faults. after weeks of tackling violent yellow vests demonstrations police in france threaten their own protest over working conditions while some media blame russia for the unimpressed we're trying to find those responsible. for you in paris to make people protest and known that to look new to. use it all should be. appointed to get. one hundred days to gregg's it and britain's prime minister continues to face fears the opposition to her proposals contingency plans an invasion and more than three thousand troops on standby nearby and other no deal divorce from the e.u. . a warm welcome it's eleven am here in moscow and you're watching r.t.

international with me becky erin great to have you with us sentencing of the first white house official over alleged russian meddling in the twenty sixteen u.s. 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 his kaleb more pretty explains buzz words like treason and meddling hide 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 i'm not hiding my disgust my disdain for this criminal offense all along you were an unregistered agent of a foreign country when serving as the national security adviser arguably that undermines everything that this flag over here stands for arguably you sold your country out however the judge took it back i feel terrible about that the

government has no reason to believe that the defendant committed treason is an actual crime with telling a lie to the fed but that's not what the media has been feeding us. it's it's funny because history isn't in the case of flint and now it is of section of justice that my client is what people thought about when they're thinking when he's talking to people who might have gone along a treasonous path to him how many trips did michael flynn take he's like anthony bourdain of treason the worst case scenario is that there are communications between the trunk campaign and the russians to influence our politics you know the election that's treason 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. now you'll recall that is far as the media was going to star and 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 the white house counsel was not informed when just sat down with the f.b.i. and at no point did they tell him that what he said could later be used against him in court the f.b.i. didn't. division of a guy who pled guilty to lying to the f.b.i. he should have been warned you shouldn't lie 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 an actual flexible thoughtful pursuit believes where you'd want us to f.b.i. broke standard protocol in the way that they came in and bush the only reason that they did it was the trumpet ministration and they thought they could get away with it 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 deception do influence interview what michael flynn apparently said 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 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 he 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 plans 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 filon sentence was delayed one of the fust journalists to report and an interim is trumped russia don't see

a set that it contains claims that's unlikely folds michael isikoff believes the most the laces i can say made in it may never be proven. 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 more sensational allegations will never be proven and or likely folks when the un corroborated claims first came out in the media it was treated like a bombshell 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 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 tape was perhaps part of a. two 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's advice party switchers the democratic national committee and she could consider steps they would be legally entitled to take to chinese the validity of the outcome of that election so if she didn't pay for it it was done through one of the klinefelter going is asians only 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 stuck in partisans are in the washington d.c. swamp 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 bad light on the american system of justice which is supposed to be blind in a good sense and 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 apiece in france the police there are now threatening to launch their own blues artist protests over unpaid overtime and dangerous working conditions the original widespread yellow vest demonstrations called for feel time levies to be dropped and political reform but some have been looking away from the government

for the source of the discord and rush to link their movement to russia dr drew pinsky went to find some suspects it would. at least up the angle some mainstream media were searching for it was the russians who are behind france's mobilization over the yellow dress 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 those dixie chicks commies have been at it again where all they. know i don't think i've definitely found one. yes coerced by you in paris to make people protest known the do look me. up and

we. will register in your church. basement. and when you think the russians are they behind the best protest. to be judged good to be. the produce 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 which is a. very prestigious. call this place suspiciously to be. center of russian activity in france. you mean you know it is so deep into protesting just stealing from us into chaos. here. the story of what's your favorite color.

are you sure it's not possible. to see. the coworker. she gives on contract. so it appears at least russians pleading they are innocent bystanders that they have nothing to do with the protests but they would say that wouldn't they. ski altie paris. well the demands of the yellow vests have been beamed to viewers around the world but some of the coverage in france itself has come in for criticism a french t.v. channel is accused of censoring is broadcast after it appeared to change a plan called of one of these protesters it initially said mccrone out but the last word was deleted well that caused mass accusations across social media networks and

the channel later said it was an error when we spoke to the protester whose plan called was altered. i was shocked like many others this censorship by france three cancer shadow in the media in general the process to start to think that journalists are in cahoots with politicians and the financial elite this kind of censorship doesn't help the situation as people would say you see we were right in criticizing the media they manipulate us i've heard from many people who said they were shocked as well there's a backlash online 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 it's proposing three hundred euro bonuses for officers deployed to protests the police union reacted angrily to that saying its members can't be bought a union representative described officers feelings towards the unrest in the

country or you are not getting always was to office or 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 that's why some colleagues feel that they are yellow vests because of the yellow vests really resonates with police. the british government is ramping up preparations for a no deal brags it has to raise a 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 and while its adoption is in question the u.k.'s briggs's secretary says a no deal scenario is now a serious consideration. the government's priority remains to security but we need to recognize with fourteen weeks to go that a responsible government is preparing for the eventuality that we leave without.

more than 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 dashed in london has more on this. 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 off the christmas agree to ramp up no deal preparations even though it still says and 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 place 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 across the channel the european parliament's negotiate has sounded the alarms as well over a no till breakfast and those like jeremy hunt who glorify no deal broke so they are totally responsible it's not the job of politicians to make the people the lead poor removed to tease rose and make loads more uncertain there's no such thing as

a man there's no deal it's still doesn't look too hopeful for the prime minister especially given the fact that the e.u. told her categorically that they would not be renegotiating her deal and they would not be doing so under any single circumstances so now many people are telling theresa may urgent a reason may to stop running scared and hold the vote sooner rather than later because i think this is. nation on the part of the british government to try and scare the people in to putting pressure on their m.p.'s to vote for mrs may's absolutely abominable deal she still thinks if she still has to believe that she might get some kind of slip through concession from brussels which will enable the house of commons to back a dreadful deal but i did see it happening she still wants to cling on to the illusion i sing that deal. but i don't think that will happen i think would end up getting out without

a deal so it's qantas out the migration crisis in europe continues to cause political upheaval as the belgian prime minister steps down over the divisive issue that details on that and plenty more after the play. i've been saying the numbers. they matter us has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happy. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be ultra rich with six percent market thirty percent if you're

done with one hundred to five hundred three per second per second and it rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need remember it was one you know for the mid one and only. welcome back a bunch of hogs documents reportedly from the u.k. funded think tank integrity initiative the power they were building anti propaganda sites links to nato among the revelations all supposed efforts to infiltrate european media and editing working with

a pedia pages in russian mother boyko takes us through the story it's got a cosy sounding moralistic name the integrity initiative is part of the u.k. based institute for state craft charity its purpose to counter all that kremlin dissent from asian flooding the globe leaked documents have shown the noble crusade receiving funds from the british government's foreign office. and the latest leak has revealed some of those who were paid by the info wars unit. two thousand five hundred pounds a month not bad his day job is at the atlantic council and nato backed think tank ties to nato seem to be a good indorsement if you want to get paid by the integrity initiative apparently ties to our channel can also get you the gig remember liz was a presenter of variety over in the us who resigned after this newscast i'm resigning she received

a three figure sum from the group for an article titled inside r t where she compares the channel to isis we've contacted both the integrity initiative and the institute for statecraft over the payments and so far there's been no comment while the u.k. foreign office which has spent hundreds of thousands of pounds on the program had this to say the truth the state craft an independent charity was hired several weeks ago and numerous documents were published a number of news channels the russian state media campaigns objectively is clear this is just another example of russian just information intended to confuse audiences and discredit an organization which is working independently to talk of the threat of dissent from the integrity initiative has been caught three tweeting stories that explore conspiracy theories about the u.k. opposition labor leader jeremy corbyn despite receiving funding from the foreign office some including wiki leaks have question the veracity of some of the leaked documents the statements from the british government that have been sent to r.t.

in response to repeated questions about integrity initiative appear to have struck a nerve although that's by no means proof that the documents are real for the most part the mainstream media here in the u.k. has chosen to ignore the british government funding and russian networks story except for one. aspect of it one u.k. foreign office minister has now demanded a thorough investigation of the charity's criticism of the labor party on calling for a public inquiry into the integrity initiative and similar information war that's being funded by our government as for the rest of the integrity initiatives and the russia work there is the afa lated to the group say they're merely defending democratic institutions and fighting the good fight we discussed this with award winning journalist and filmmaker john pilger on artie's going underground the full version will be aired on saturday but for now here's

a preview having grown up on the cold war i find it quite difficult to believe that journalists some of them to sting worse than their own money but all are willing journalists distinguished in their own right. should go alone should allow themselves to be indulged by the british government at a time when there is a litany of lies about. russia about china about so many issues but in dangerous i've never known the such a grotesque absurdity as the the the the elevation of russia and china and the perceived enemies to the kind of cold war status they had when i was a child. bowden's prime minister has

resigned following the collapse of the ruling coalition over the signing of a controversial un migration pact. at this stage i make the decision to resign and my intention is to go to the key meet your. government fell apart after the prime minister ignores demands from the right wing coalition partners not to adopt the un agreement thousands took to the streets of brussels over the friday . ok. ok. ok. ok well the one hundred sixty un member states have already signed up to the pact it

aims to find a common goal and global approach to tackle the migration crisis critics say it will limit the ability of countries to shape their own policies well the u.s. was the first to oppose the pact claiming it legitimizes illegal migration australia rejected it to some european countries have also shown fierce resistance the leader of the belgian people's party thinks signing the pact was a matter of principle for the prime minister. yet the government at last that for four years knew that it was a an important. question this us might wish or at least for the end of year which was the financial answer to the largest party but it decided to make also in south and matter of principle or wrong the signature of this act motion of no confidence fide by civil parties but

understood that there was absolutely no support from the opposition parties to maintain his government even induce of conditions. say all those in the story by following us on social media and join us again for the latest at the top of the out see that. imagine. six thirty five and you have a career and a career involves using your eyes in your computer and things like that in an

office. perhaps you sort of getting going it's circular it's. going to have to stop doing all of this and this is tell you lou the minutes must be from my world became smaller and smaller and smaller until i ended up living it in a box. or out at a very strong magnetic field i felt in my head. think of it like a real hard pressure on my skin burned and that wireless access point your sister continues on saying with our students in the schools. we are just continually they are citizens in this microwave radiation it is certainly electro small and it's getting worse. what is the pin that's going to pop the global bubble back in two thousand and eight it was a two thousand a subprime crisis today i think we can safely say that the bubble will be popped

but the collapse of deutsche bank. this is from bus broadcasting around the world and covering the world of business and finance that may impact upon all of us you me the guy behind the tree everybody i fart joke in washington thank you so much for being on board we're glad to have you coming up to day we look at us saudi relations with conservative commentator steve malzberg m.l.s. so our mo the c.e.o. of the stock look at stocks going into next year twenty nineteen that's coming up but first we get some headlines with daniel britto let's go. to
