was. with the u.s. president and special counsel robert mueller forcefully reject an incendiary new both feet report on the alleged wrongdoing by donald trump. the american born journalist working for the wrongs press t.v. he is detained in the u.s. as a material witness in an undisclosed investigation a friend of the president has told r.t. she's extremely troubled by the move she is an american journalist and she's been

detained without charge without information so it's truly very concerning. and football's most wanted gary and police arrest a portuguese man suspected of carrying out their parking campaign against some of the world's top clubs and players and then leaking damaging documents online. a very warm welcome 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 but u.s. presidents rebuffed so it was also echoed by the 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 is categorically false the buzz feed's reports detailing cohen's alleged confession to 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 the impeachment of president 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 on tonight's 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 both. as inaccurate and washington correspondent down 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 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 and 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 cash to be gins

and fake fraud and of course he's a key figure in the investigation for the so-called russian collusion probe and 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 we've been i did 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 interesting 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 him self over it i mean 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 scoops up 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 pitted les 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 been at loggerheads with democrats over his plans for a controversial border wall with mexico which so far has been on able to secure funding for the crisis in washington has even led house speaker nancy pelosi to

call on the president to postpone his state of the union address that's all trump responds in typical fashion. i'm not denying the pattern roberson 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 either. due to the shutdown i am sorry to inform you that your trip to russia egypt and afghanistan has been please post we reschedule this 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 to be keenly except he. was put in place nor did he feel. that. i find it funny. american born journalist who works as a presenter on iranian 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 had been detained she has not

been charged with a crime. you know she seems ok. she was not happy with the fact that certain bad hair was stretching as well as a statue instructions for not being a candidate. to have staff had been removed against her will. we are concerned that the arrest of a journalist for iranian state t.v. morsi is shami whether she is 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 crew detention and we urge american authorities to clarify the situation. she's determined shouldn't it she's done nothing but journalism and keep the rich mrs bush. is a very poor choice. freedom of expression a political abuse. and innocent individual and. i believe united states should review to immediately view that as if it. arcee are spoken exclusively to a close friend of the jailed iranian t.v. anchor she shared her concerns about the legality of mas their detention and the conditions she's been subjected to in custody only information and contact the

family have had with is 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 was her 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 to gain 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. 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. as she 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 walk 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 unless 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 and i say she's a austin for 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 say that my friend i'm a journalist and she is a foreign 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 huawei grows that germany has now joined the list of western countries considering locking the company out of its five g. mobile. and that's work the chinese telecom telecoms giant has been embroiled in control of the city and accused of spying on behalf of beijing police boy. huawei if you think owning one of these suspicious new cheap chinese phones is risky in

our profession and we want to be paid accordingly for what we do and to be treated better given what we do with it we were born as a result of the yellow vest movement we were inspired by this popular movement against the government but we're different as we're specifically defending our profession i don't want to say that we're opposed to their claims but we're more concerned with fighting for our rights as education professionals. place in hungary have arrested a portuguese man who suspected of computer hacking and having links to the website that will leaks they whistle blowing portal has caused several huge scandals by publishing damning documents that they claim to the taint from anonymous sources. have ski has the story if you haven't been holed up in your room for seven years you will of course have heard about the wiki leaks and julian assange but since twenty fifteen the planet's most popular sport has also had its own whistle blowing web site called ball leaks revealing the dark side of the beautiful game.

. the country's gone into a nihilistic fever that's why i think and we got to hit the road and get out to traveling across america to find what makes america the charlatans the genius says this is the quintessential american hero this is it we found the point around which element is gone something we always are on the margins someone called donald culture is really important because. we're starting west with is going to headed east into the swamp we're going into the belly of the beast i think i want to leave now doesn't do any more ground zero than it may be completely different by the end of this journey. which.

max kaiser this is the kaiser report you know tomorrow will be episode three of gonzo back to stacey traveling around the country documentaries then me and we're going to be in san francisco and it's going to be awesome and you've got to tune in to watch it because so many people are you don't want to go to work tomorrow and people say hey did you watch the reaction stacey gonzo show and you'll be like. oh you're so you don't want that to happen watch it. yes gonzo maxim stacy it's a new series where in the third episode tomorrow if a ten part series where we're traveling from the west coast all the way to the east coast we're looking at transamerica seeing what the you know the mood of the america is right now and it's quite fascinating tomorrow where in san francisco we talk to no no's only highways and then we head over to yosemite it's really

fascinating so part of the reason why there's so much meltdown in the fabric of our societies whether here in spain where you have independence movements and lord knows what i think with briggs in the u.k. it's true art to figure out and there's not enough time in the day to cover it and then you have italy you have germany now on the brink of recession you have france in the g.l.a. shown and that's spreading the yellow vests well here's some information from the i.m.f. . am is there a look at global debt and they look at they have some great charts it should go to its new data global their math blog and they are from one nine hundred fifty eight till two thousand and seventeen and i find that global debt has reached an all time high of one hundred eighty four trillion dollars in nominal terms the equivalent of two hundred twenty five percent of g.d.p.

in two thousand and seventeen on average the world's debt now exceeds eighty six thousand dollars in per capita terms which is more than two and a half times the average income per capita right so the response here because we've reached from an all debt do loop that no amount of economic activity going forward will ever provide the tax revenues sufficient to pay down the step we're past the point of no return we've gone through the debt looking glass this means only one outcome the central banks will continue to print to keep the interest going on the intermountain pile which means wealth and income gap are guaranteed to increase which means the g.l.a. zero movement is going global and the global insurrection is upon us and that's a guarantee there is no coming what we are talking about is yes.
