twenty four hour news live from moscow this is r t international a warm welcome wherever you're tuning in from this saturday o'neill our top story. firmly rejected a damning new report by both as feed news which claims he instructed his former lawyer michael cohen to lie to congress about a business deal in russia the u.s. president's rebuttal was also echoed by the wife hoists press secretary who dismissed the allegation served 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 report detailing cohen's alleged confession to special investigation into election meddling has caused a sensation in the media it was branded a bombshell article him immediately laid to talk of impeachment. 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 tonight bombshell report coming from buzz feed news president 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 allows for the credibility of the report the special counsel's office has taken the unusual step of speaking carked arising buzz feed's article was inaccurate our washington correspondent dan 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 planned 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 passionately and fake fraud and of course he's a key figure in the lower investigation for 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 had 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 did say that we we've seen documents we've been briefed on documents 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 those perjurer by this wire 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'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 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 that's the story makes trump look bad they like 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. it's another headline stories this hour an 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 this case a court order revealed on friday that although she has been detained she's not been charged with a crime. ok . well so the staff had certain dietary restrictions where there's

a stature that struck changed by not being with. her head staff had been against her will. we are concerned that the arrest of a journalist for runyan seemed to be more easier to shame me whether she's being targeted either play documentary work about black lives matter or as a retaliate reaction in response to reigning government's detention of american citizens either case would be an egregious violation of democratic norms. we have serious concerns about a critic tension and we urge american authorities to clarify the situation. to determine she said nothing but to. keep us. here. freedom of expression if political if you. like you know since

individually. i believe united states should keep it. well r t how spoken exclusively to a close friend of a jailed there really in t.v. anchor she shared her concerns about the like galaxy of a share means the tension on the condition she's being subjected to in custody. the only information and contact the family have had with my eyes here is a telephone call to her daughter on tuesday where they received wiring information from him as he had told her daughter that she had had jobs a muslim woman he was a hit job a veil covering such as what time wearing at the moment that was take. can 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 that she. was and that she had

to gain another t. shirt just to be able to cover some of her had she also told her daughter that she wasn't in essence given adequate food because she was not given. the option or a vegetarian option to say 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 marzia in regards to an issue she would have all this at 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 offer their mother and how nervous they are about the situation my see 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 well

according to the court order which was issued by a u.s. district court in washington d.c. shimmy must testify before a grand jury investigation after that she would be released however many are still concerned by that attention 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. really had been involved in that her children also would know about 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 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 ask you i can say she is they are asking for information as to why she is being detained but 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 fair a 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 fear in detention taking an internal flight. live pictures right now from paris where attempt consecutive weekend of yellow vests protests over rising living costs on the policies of government are on the way despite the president's efforts to quell the arm rest by launching a national debate which he's promised will result in a new social contract speaking from paris earlier charlotte. at least move than a thousand possibly two thousand people in this particular protest one of many protests ongoing in paris today one of many more that only going through right front last weekend official figures said more than eighty thousand people it's come out to the streets of france. the first protest is actually. it was moved to speak there's official figures but i just want to through your attention to what's going on behind me you might be able to see what looks like the outline of coffins

because this meticulous protest who's called by eric to a who's out one of the and main leaders over this protest on this very test used to love to pay tribute to those people who lost their lives as a result of the yellow dress protests in accidents one individual was said to through the hit by something that came off a flash wall and also in tribute to the people who had been illusions in these protests and there have been some severe injuries since this protest movement started back in november seventeenth with more than fifteen people suggested to have lost their eyes as well as many other debilitating injuries people here are angry and despite the fact that there is a national debate now i'm going in florence in my place and not only as a way of trying to get to this anger it doesn't seem to dissipate is the anger here on the streets of paris at least let's have a look now at what's happened in this movement in reality delegator that they know

that. the course is the right one and we don't come to change it just because the wind is blowing. i will not concede anything to those who want destruction and disorder. i. take my share of responsibility. well you can probably have the protests is a rounding need cooling of food for the resignation of president michel and that

has been one of the cools that we have heard over and over since this protest movement started i want to get the camera to go up a bit higher and to turn around so you can just get a sense of the size of the crowd that we're in we are now marching this is a i meant to be a food chain kilometer march around paris as i said this is one of many demonstrations the security hey in the capital is once again very very tight with a run five thousand security offices taking part in this and any see thousands said to be taking part in that security operation across france it seems that this movement looks like it's growing again we work out of the tally for that's really definitely the case until we get official figures either later today or tomorrow but for the moment what i can tell you is that people are as angry as they ever were during this yellow vest protest they still think that the national debate is nothing more than a scam many people saying that the only thing that they want as

a result of this now is the resignation of mr macaroon present macro and that's very very unlikely to happen but the elephants just feel that they not being listened to and they determined to act ten. the news continues in ninety seconds. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic to follow only. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. you want to make sure that the quality is not just

a slogan misery but. is associated with. the believe how can you have a rise in this stuff. by having. saving and investing. increasing the size of the national park so that we can to steve who pull everything. if the minutes into the program welcome back the buck clash against weiwei grows germany has no join the list of western countries considering locking the company out of its next generation mobile network the chinese telecoms giant has been embroiled in controversy and stands accused of spying on behalf of beijing. with

president trump pick for u.s. attorney general is being given a tough time over his views on the motor investigation into election meddling but this killer bargain explains there are far more troubling episodes in the nominee's past that haven't made it into the spotlight. the ninety nine is bush era official william bars on the roster to once again become the u.s. attorney general but as the confirmation process continues at this point the media is focusing on one particular aspect president speak to run the justice department says he would let special counsel robert mueller finish the investigation into russian meddling in the twenty six thousand election the president's pick for attorney general said things about the russia probe that would be welcomed people are picking apart barcena testimony to see how he's going to treat them all investigation another scandal related to william bars past that might be a bit more scandalous than his opinion on the russia gate hysteria has surfaced it turns out that in one thousand nine hundred ninety one he was responsible for the

detention of thousands of haitians in guantanamo bay the reason they had a. testimony revealed that the haitians were told that they could be a guantanamo for ten to twenty years or possibly into a cure for aids found after hiv was discovered more than two hundred haitians were moved to a separate camp they were held there for over two years the conditions were rather shocking a federal judge who oversaw the case saw it as almost an i.v. prison camp they live in camps surrounded by razor barbed wire the type plastic garbage bags to the sides of the building to keep the rain out the sleeping cars and hang sheets to create some semblance of privacy the integrated by the military and are not permitted to leave the camp except under military escort but even decades later william barr still feels this was the appropriate action when asked if he would do it again well would you again house asylum seekers in guantanamo. well the clinton administration did. double the double the and they started putting

other nationalities in there too. probably not because of the associations of going time to mow now as americans come to terms with the war on terror and the role played by guantanamo bay. they should remember the actions of william barr in one thousand nine hundred one and those human rights violations that he would act once again as he prepares to take the attorney general hot seat. r.t. new york. police in hungry have arrested a portuguese man who is suspected of computer hacking and having links to the website football leaks the whistleblowing portal has caused several huge scandals by publishing damning documents that they claim to have obtained from anonymous sources artie's alexia shared ski princess more if you haven't been holed up in your room for seven years you will of course have heard about the weekly leaks and julian assange but since twenty fifteen the planet's most popular sport has also

had its own whistle blowing web site leaks revealing the dark side of the beautiful game. now football league finally has a face named in some media as thirty year old rui pinball from portugal he's been detained in budapest and facing numerous criminal charges bindles alleged hacking activities have reportedly targeted portugal's football elite leaking sensitive contract and player details to the press and football's cyber version of robin hood has got a few superstars in a spin. i'm very sad very upset because they're making this thing up

things are not real. the arrest comes with football league's popularity beginning to peak after some time in the wilderness following a criminal investigation football leagues returned with a bang in twenty eighteen taking aim at one of europe's financial powerhouses manchester city believe me. you know which happened because the. emails claim to show how man city is circumvented financial fair play rules aimed at keeping clubs from overspending and retaining a competitive unfair to domestic and european football this allowed the current english champions to dig deep into the mega money pockets of a middle eastern oil state and it's got some big names in the game admitting the rule simply isn't working i'm not convinced that we can maintain it at the moment it looks like we have created rules that cannot be respected nevertheless europe's footballing body is taking football leagues claims seriously and says an

investigation will happen we are assessing the situation we have an independent body the club's financial control body workin on it very soon you will have an answer on what will happen in these concrete case if guilty manchester city will likely face i have to find and possible banned from european competitions the club the hemant lee denies all these accusations but thanks to football leagues their fate now seems to be something money cannot buy while the man named as the routine door will be tried in portugal and could face up to ten years in prison julia songes long running refuge inside the ecuadorian embassy in london has not stopped we can leaks and football league says the arrest would not stop them either but will a hacker trying to clean up sport get the same backing as the whistleblower looking to call out governments. r.t. reporting from moscow. all right so if you happen to find yourself on

a comfortable sofa a warm bed on the move or ever it may be i'd recommend sticking around because a selection of great hearty program starts right after this season. oh. look i. mean. i've been saying the numbers mean something they've matter us of the with one

trillion dollars in debt more than ten points over time stamping this. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be ultra rich the point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and one 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 to remember is one one business shows you can afford to miss one and only. if like there's someone else living inside of me like controlling my body. the byproduct of that drug. because like some of your friends.

because it will need one to be it's crazy. you know we don't have to do anything it's not our fault you know she's crazy and all that. the fears traumatic takes a long time to get rid of. welcome there is a. this is a comedy show where americans in america covering american news are called foreign agents and now you are as well well you're thirty seven people you see only thirty nine year off and i love you guys yet again our corporate media has been caught frothing with hysteria over

a false story like they did with w m d in iraq like they did a few weeks to.
