oh i was. going to u.s. president and special counsel robert mueller forcefully rejection incendiary new buzz feed report on alleged wrongdoing by donald trump. the american born journalist working for iran's press t.v. is detained in the u.s. as a material witness in an undisclosed investigation a friend of the president has told r.t. she is extremely troubled by the move she is an american journalist and she's been

detained without charge without incident so it's truly very concerning. and football's most wanted gary and police to arrest a portuguese man suspected of carrying out the hacking campaign against some of the world's top clubs and players and then leaking damaging documents online. a very warm welcome to you you're watching r.t. international with me. donald trump has firmly rejected a damning new report by buzz feed news which claims he instructed his former lawyer michael cohen to lie to congress about a planned business deal in russia the u.s. president's rebuttal was also echoed by a white house press secretary who dismissed the allegation as absurd. that's

absolutely ridiculous i think that the president's outside counsel addressed this best and said in a statement earlier today this categorically false. the buzz feed's report on what's michael cohen allegedly told special counsel miller's investigation into election meddling has caused a sensation in the media it was branded a bombshell article and immediately led to talk of impeachment and trump is facing new scrutiny today over a report that he told his personal attorney to lie to congress about his business dealings with russia we have breaking news tonight on the russia investigation here's what buzz feed news is reporting that ice bombshell report coming from buzz feed news president trump directed his attorney to lie to congress about the moscow tower project congressional democrats calling for an immediate investigation declaring the trial must be impeached if the story is true as for the credibility of the reports the special counsel's office has taken the unusual step of speaking

out characterizing buzz feed's article as inaccurate it's a washington correspondent done cohen takes up the story buzz feed news released a major report alleging that u.s. president donald trump has received ten personal updates from michael cohen and encouraged to plan meetings with russian president vladimir putin. president donald trump directed his longtime attorney michael cohen to lie to congress according to two federal law enforcement officials involved in an investigation of the matter and even as trump told the public he had no business deals with russia the sources said trump and his children if the and donald trump jr received regular detailed updates about the real estate development from cohen whom they put in charge of the project a michael cohen is the former lawyer of donald trump he was sentenced to thirty six months in prison after he pleaded guilty to lying to congress about the trump tower

plan he's also admitted to campaign finance violations tax evasions and fake fraud and of course he's a key figure in the investigation of where the so-called russian collusion probe of the two journalists wrote in their article that they didn't actually see the court documents or any evidence that they base their reporting on rather they were briefed by two anonymous law enforcement officials and jason leopold that one of the authors of this buzz feed article has a history of fabricating sources regarding the cohen story today leopold told m s n b c that he had actually seen the evidence showing that trump instructed michael cohen to lie to congress and it's a total contradiction to what's written in the article and what his co-author has said i don't think that we've said that we haven't seen that but i will say that i'm very confident that your colleague said on c.n.n. this morning that you were briefed on these documents and we've been i'll just say that we we've seen documents we've been briefed on documents and we're very

confident in our reporting as feed has problems all the way around not to mention the people who actually write for it. the authors have real credibility problems they can't get their story straight and their sources whatever those are named an unknown which we've gotten used to in this country as being credible so maybe. this is been manufactured to give some interest and relevance to to to that continued testimony by this perjurer by this liar by this guy you can't form a sentence in the english language without indicting himself over it i'm at a loss as to the excitement over this there's there's no there there on top of which the president through his counsel denies it flatly so you know if there's evidence it's hard to say that you deny something if there's evidence for it did journalism it's groups of people who slap together a website you get people who are paid to report who are wrong including one of

these fellows who has a bit early pated lay wrong and who perhaps allegedly his own may call into question his veracity and nothing's ever done you have a new it's a journalistic force and factions of the american people who don't care whether this story is true they like the story because it makes trump look bad and if the story makes trump look bad they like it we've seen some democrats promise that they will investigate the report calling the allegations against trump quote among the most serious to date some have even gone so far as to call for president trump's impeachment so we'll have to see how this one pans out. meanwhile donald trump has said he will make a major announcement on the partial u.s. government shutdown on saturday he's made that loggerheads with democrats i have his plans for a controversial border war with mexico which so far has been unable to secure funding for the crisis in washington is even led house speaker nancy pelosi to call

on the president to call on the president to postpone his state of the union address that's all trumped respond in typical fashion. i'm not denying the pattern robert said let's get a date when the government is open let's pay the employees maybe he thinks it's ok not to pay people who do work i don't and my caucus doesn't even. do to the shutdown i am sorry to inform you that your trip to egypt and afghanistan has been these polls will be rescheduled to seven day excursion when the shutdown is over.

i am sure you would agree that postponing this public relations event is totally appropriate i also feel that during this period it would be better if you were in washington to go shooting with me obviously if you would like to make your journey by flying commercial that would certainly be your prerogative. if you wish and if you except even. was one could explain all of. this i find it funny. an american born journalist who works as a presenter on a rainy and state t.v. has been arrested in the u.s. as a material witness in an undisclosed case

a court order revealed on friday that although she's been detained she has not been charged with a crime. you know she seems ok. she was not happy well say the staff bad certain bad hair instructions where there's a statue of instructions not being with. her head staff had been removed against her will. we are concerned by the arrest of a journalist for iranian state t.v. more aziz shamy whether she's being targeted either for her documentary work about

black lives matter or as a retaliate reaction in response to the iranian government's detention of american citizens either case would be an egregious violation of democratic norms. we have serious concerns about a crude tension and we urged american authorities to clarify the situation. she's a famous children which she's done nothing but journalism and the other mrs bush. is a very clear choice you freedom of expression if political abuse. i mean innocent individual and. i believe the united states should review so you need to if you did so that it. r t how spoken exclusively to a close friend of the jailed iranian t.v. anchor she said she shared her concerns the legality of mines they have attention

on the conditions she's been subjected to in custody the only information and contact the family have had with a telephone call to her daughter on tuesday where they received information from him as he told her daughter that she had her job she is a muslim woman who job a veil covering such as will time wearing at the moment that was taken off against her will the mug shot was taken without her job on that she was given only a short sleeved t. shirt in contravention to her own islamic dress code her that she. has and that she had gave another t. shirt just to be able to cover some of her hair she also told her daughter that she wasn't absent given adequate food because she was not given allow muslim option or a vegetarian option on tuesday the only conversation they've had with her she told her daughter that she only been able to eat

a cracker or some bread that came with that food since being detained if they had questions about four miles here in regards to an issue she would have them that is what her son has said the children have been subpoenaed as well and they have no idea why you can imagine how worried they are for their mother and how nervous they are about the situation marcy is an internationally known journalist and she's been a journalist for many decades she is an american journalist and she has been detained without charge without information so it's truly very concerning. according to the court order which was issued by a u.s. district court in washington d.c. testified before a grand jury investigation after that she will be released however many are still concerned by the detention including a number of human rights groups. there's a grand jury investigation nobody knows what it's about and she's being held as a material witness which means that she's not the person accused but they think

that she knows something about a crime a felony a very serious crime and it's serious enough that a judge has authorized her arrest so whatever is happening it is under the supervision of the judge what's disturbing is that two of her children were also subpoenaed to testify before the grand jury here in washington d.c. so what could she possibly have been involved in that her children also would know about she has the rights to do journalistic work for whichever outlet she chooses to do in any part of the world that she chooses to and she also has the right to travel freely as a journalist and as a citizen throughout the united states that she's a journalist on this we're saying now donald trump's america journalism is a crime you know i have no other answer to that that the children i have a cat is a she is they are still information as to why she is being to tell you there's

something very dark going on in the united states at the moment you know there's islamophobia there's this anti iran sentiment there's this anti media anti journalism sentiment unprecedented times in the united states and i said that my friend i'm a journalist and she is a ferret journalist as has been victim to that and it's unacceptable and the lack of information is unacceptable and the family is demanding to know what is going on with their mother their grandmother that you know she is a sister she was traveling to the united states to. see her ailing brother she has the right to do so without fearing to tension taking an internal flight. as the backlash against twal way grows germany has now joined the list of western countries considering locking the company out of its five g. mobile network the chinese telecoms giant has been embroiled in controversy and accused of spying on behalf of beijing. delves deep. huawei if you think
