four hour news live from moscow this is our international my names you know neal hello and welcome to the program the 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 this explains buzz words like treason and meddling this is 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 while 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 is a witness tampering now it is possibly treason but mike flynn 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 his place anthony bourdain of 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 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 i met actually 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 lin 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 yet the eyes investigation of a guy who pled guilty to lying to the f.b.i. he should have been warned you shouldn't should have 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 agile flexible thoughtful pursuit believes where you'd want to steer the f.b.i. broke standard protocol in the way that they came in and ambush in real flan the only reason that they did it was the terms of 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 federal bureau of investigation agents did not detect any deception during flynn's ince of you 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 well on the same day flynn sentence was delayed one of the first journalist reports on the infamous trump russia does ca said it contains claims that are likely false michael isikoff believes the most salacious accusations included will 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 most sensational allegations will never be proven and are likely folks. when the on corroborated claims first came out in the media it was treated like a bombshell revelation at a tranquil reminds us. 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 back in january two thousand and seventeen 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 or 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 the voice party switchers the democratic national committee. could go. set of steps they would be legally entitled to take to chinese the validity of the outcome of that selection 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. swap of that 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. a turning attention to europe where with weeks of protests still simmering in france disgruntled police officers have started their own protest against on paid overtime and dangerous working conditions in at least one terminal in the french capital its main airport

officers are causing long lines at passport check ins by staging a go slow after the outcry from the police the french government did make some concessions it's proposing three hundred euro bonuses for officers deployed to cover the protests the police union reacted angrily to that saying its members cannot be pulled a union representative describe the feelings of officers towards the situation in the country. or they're not getting always was 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 and that's why some colleagues feel that they are yellow vests because of the elephants. really resonates with police and if you go back to the original widespread yellow vest demonstrations in the country those people were calling for fuel tax levies to be dropped on political reform to occur but some of it being

looking away from the government for the source of the discord and rushed to the movement to moscow charlotte went on the hunt for suspects. it would. at least up the mainstream media were searching for it was the russians who are behind france's mobilization over the yellow vests 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 there is the coase have been at it again where all they want us keep. navasky i don't believe i've definitely found one. yes. by you in paris to make people protest known the two look neat but.

no not near. when your chest i see in. the russians of a behind the yellow vest protests not as a thank you lou just like you would push out good to leave the loop remove good. the party has the news in your mouth. the mainstream media say that russia is behind these protests you must be wearing a yellow vest on saturday's media lucia's a. story. well this place suspiciously could be a center of russian activity in france. france or do you mean you not here it is so discordant to protesting to spoon france into chaos. here you love the

story what's your favorite color. where. are you sure it's not yellow. your problem. so the. last of the so it appears at least russians are pleading there by standers that they have nothing to do with the protests but they would say that. paris. well the demands of the yellow vests have been beamed to viewers right across the world but some of the coverage in france at self come in for criticism a french t.v. channel is accused of censoring its broadcast after appearing to change the pluck art of one of the protestors it initially said. but the last word was deleted it cause must accusations or cross social media networks the channel later said it

was an error he spoke to the protester card was altered. i was shocked like many others this censorship by france three causes 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 and 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. across the channel from there the british government is ramping up preparations for a no deal bragg's it trees a maze withdrawal plan continues to face opposition from. media and public etc etc well the deal can't be adopted if it doesn't receive the necessary support in

a parliamentary vote scheduled for january and while its adoption is in question the u.k.'s briggs and secretary says a no deal scenario is now a serious option. the government's priority remains to secure a deal but we need to recognize with fourteen weeks ago that a responsible government is preparing for the eventuality that we leave without. something else being spoken about 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. shadi edwards dashti in london as more. 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 preparations even though it still says and still believes that delivering the deal that the prime minister did agree in brussels 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 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 plan to close and what we will do is have three and a half thousand service personnel. readiness including regulars and reserves and all support any government department on any contingencies

a minute across the channel the european parliament's negotiator has sounded the alarms as well over a no till breakfast scenario 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 or remove. rights and make lives more uncertain there's no such thing as a man there's no deal it 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. the. nation on the faults of the british government to try and scare the people into putting pressure on their m.p.'s. to vote for mrs may's absolutely abominable deal she still thinks she still has to believe that she might

get some kind of slip through concessions from brussels to enable the succumbs to back a drug deal but i did see it happening she still wants to cling on to the illusion icing the deal. but i do think that will happen seeing would end up getting on with such a deal. we're going for a short break right now but we're back with two of the world's biggest oil companies finding themselves linked to a billion dollar corruption scandal in nigeria we've got plenty more to cite. what else should seem wrong. but all wrong just don't call. me all

the things you have to say pal just be educated and in detroit he was betrayed. when something you find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. up.

you're back with r t international a batch of documents reportedly from the u.k. a funded think tank integrity initiative. apparently the anti propaganda sites links to nato the revelations are supposed efforts to infiltrates european media editing wickett p.d.f. pages in an anti russian money are well polly boy who can take us through the story right now. it's got a cozy sounding moralistic the integrity initiative is part of the u.k. based institute for state craft charity its purpose to counter all that kremlin this information 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 wahl a presenter of variety over in the us who resigned after this newscast i'm resigning she received at three figures 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 but 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 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 descent from asia the integrity initiative has been caught retreating 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 that leaked documents statements from the british government that have been sent to r.t. in response to repeated. about integrity initiative appears 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 network story except for one aspect of it one u.k. foreign office minister has now demanded a thorough investigation of the charities criticism of the labor party on calling

for a public inquiry into the integrity 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 polly boyko with the reporter we also discussed the story with award winning journalist and filmmaker john pilger on artie's going underground let's take a look at some of it but the full version is going to be aired later in the week on saturday. 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 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 a lot of willing journalists to stay in worse in their own right. should go alone should allow them so as to be in doge by the british government at a time when there is. it's about. russia about china about some of the issues. ok let's move now to potentially one of the biggest corruption cases in corporate history a judge in milan has ruled that oil giant shell and the police were fully aware that the purchase of nigerian oil field back in twenty eleven would be a source of muscle fraud in the african nation the two firms have constantly denied any accusation since international scandal broke last year the management of oil

companies and he and cho were fully aware of the fact that part of the one point ninety two billion dollars paid would have been used to compensate nigerian public officials who had a role in this matter and who were circling their prey like congress sharks the oil firms face or corruption trial over a one point three billion dollars purchase of a vast oil field in nigeria as we say back in twenty eleven a report by a prominent corruption group alleges that the bulk of the money went to a former oil minister and people connected to his ownership of the property it also saves the country will be six billion dollars out of pocket in lost revenue following the deal both companies insist their actions were absolutely legal and correct even when we believe transactions are legal people will seek to hold you to account if they see them as unethical. shell is face in exactly that situation with

court action and investigations over a nigerian oil block called o.p.l. two hundred forty five with hindsight it is not one that we would want to find ourselves in again we wish to confirm the correctness and compliance of every aspect of the transaction in respect of o.p.o. two four five concluded and twenty eleven both with a political laws and global industry practice just to put this story in some sort of context one theory is entire national health care budget is less than the sum of the alleged right half of the country's population of eighty seven million live in extreme poverty more than any other nation on earth ruling down the corruption investigator sais that international companies exploit nigeria's national resources without giving anything in return. evidence is. involved in bribery and corruption this is he

a nigerian and you are you producing conscious and you are just as simple as you feel what you call. because there is no refinery in nigeria that is what can only have or you feel. far in the mission you process and companies come to nigeria and. supply the ari is charge of the rich and we don't produce it that is the truth about magic. two twenty seven in the afternoon here in moscow hope you're having a great day wherever you are in moments of another great so our t.v. program gets going but i'm back with all your global news updates so you short.

well you know that they were kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. i mean they're in the small boats next to the harp on ships and it's still very. much up in. the limited self to be told fish already ninety percent of the dot and it won't recover. to conduct fifteen scoops seventy five tons true and they do it several times a day with a big fleets you know you get an idea of why. we have to understand we can not stay still and just. be with miss b. is going to go. i'm doing this because i want the future

world to the future can generations to have and enjoy the ocean we have. a lot of people like to use were to let go small very good analogy but when we have soul towers on every to every big building when we are going to put these five g. generators on every light pole on every street it is certainly electro small and it's getting worse. my world became smaller and smaller and smaller and tell i

ended up living it in a box and in a shielded room way the same person that was helping us to shield found the right material to hold back that particular frequency that was coming in and burning my skin and we built a room it looks like a little foil but it's not it's three layers thick and stuff like a very very fine chicken wire in the middle of it there were days that i didn't know it the sun came up the sun went down and christmas came around we had christmas inside the cellar room as we like to call it. quits you know depending on how you look at it could've been really sad but we made the best of it. having christmas in here meant a lot to all of us through so many events so many school events so many things that my wife could not to she even missed her daughter's graduation to college it was three four hours away she couldn't take the.
