revolution is always spontaneous. is it still. the president recalls the events of twenty four. you've invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. headlines stories both the u.s. president on special counsel robert mueller forcefully reject and century new reports of wrongdoing by donald trump and. your board. hard to speak from a friend or colleague of an american journalist that the u.s. saying her freedoms are being oppressed is a material witness in

a case which hasn't even though. she is an american and she's been detained without charge without and. it's truly a very concerning. nationwide government. being held for a consecutive weekend by president launching. the protesters. one minute past four pm here in moscow this january. your company my name's union o'neill our top story donald trump has firmly rejected a dell maine new report by buzz feed news which claims he instructed his former lawyer michael cohen. to lie to congress about

a business deal in russia cole is among those who is being investigated in an alleged russia collusion probe well the probe itself is led by special counsel robert muller commenting on the reports his office branded the story in accurate will not rebuke was also echoed by the white house press secretary who dismissed the allegation. that's absolutely ridiculous i think that the president's outside counsel address 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 meddling well it's caused a sensation in the media it was branded a bombshell article immediately led to talk of 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 you 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 the media quickly picked up on the story despite the fact that the whole piece is based on anonymous sources or washington correspondent done cool and picks 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 i can and donald trump jr receives 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 cash t.v. agents 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'll just 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 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'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 heated later on 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 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. 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 slows the case a court order revealed on friday thought although she has been detained she's not been charged with a crime. generation seems ok bad. she was not happy. this half bad certain doubt her was stretching as well as a statue instructions were not being accommodated and asked so that her head scarf had been the answer will. be.

we are concerned by the arrest of her during those four iranians say to be more zia hashemi we have serious concerns about her detention and we urged american authorities to clarify the situation. she's a famous journalist she's done nothing but journalism and the rest of mrs hosiery is a very clear affront to freedom of expression a political abuse of an innocent individual. i believe the united states should review to immediately view the tragedy but. the. or to you has spoken exclusively to a close friend of the jewelled iranian t.v.

i care she shared her concerns about the legality. shimmies detention and the conditions she's been 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 information from my . daughter that she had her job she is a muslim woman who was a hit job a veil covering such as well 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 that she was 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 in essence given adequate food because she was not given. the 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 all of them that is what her son has said look 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's 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. must testify before a grand jury investigation after that she would be released or of or many are still concerned by that attention including a number of human rights. 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 all the organizations they also give information as to why she is being detained that'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 fiery 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 aren't 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 favoring detention taking an internal flight. turning attention back to europe where a tenth consecutive weekend of yellow vests protest over rising living costs on the policy. the mccraw government is on the way in front is the spike the president's efforts to quell the arrest by launching

a national debate as he calls it which he's promised will result in a new social contract reporting from paris or charlotte to penske. least move than a thousand possibly two thousand people in this particular protest this of one of many protests ongoing in paris today and one of many more that on going throughout france last weekend official figures said more than eighty thousand people it's come out to the streets affronts yellow vests protesters actually say it was more than that they just 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 one of the and main leaders over this protest and this very test is to mark to pay tribute to those people who've lost their lives as a result of the yellow vest protests in accidents one individual was said to do hit

by something that came off a flash and also in tribute to the people who have 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. as a way of trying to get 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. that you know that are. out of course is the right one and we're not going to change it just because the wind is blowing. i will not concede anything to those who want destruction and disorder.

take my share of responsibility. but you can probably have the protesters surrounding me cooling for the resignation of president michael 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 children so you can just get a sense of the size of the crowd that will read 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 and security hey in the capital is once again very very tight with the run five thousand security offices taking part in this and eighty thousand said to be taking part in that security go for a shoot across france it seems that this movement looks like it's cooling again though we would give the talent that's really definitely the case until we get official think inside the 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 and many people saying that the only thing that they want is a result of this now is the resignation of mr mcewan president machen that's very very unlikely to happen but the yellow vests just feel that they not being listened to and they determined to act ten. yeah we'll keep you up to date with all the latest from paris in the coming hours going to

a short break now but right after that germany joins the ranks of western countries dialing up the pressure in chinese telecoms giant way we've got plenty more besides . so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic probably the only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. reach terminal debt. no amount of economic activity going forward provide tax revenues sufficient to pay down the step we're past the point of no return

we've gone through the looking glass this means only one outcome the central banks will continue to print to keep the interest going on this insurmountable pile which means wealth and income gap are guaranteed to increase which means the movement is going global and the global insurrection is upon us and that's a guarantee. if the minutes past four pm here in moscow welcome back this. is the against wall way gross germany has joined the list of western countries considering locking the company of its next generation mobile network the chinese telecoms giant has been embroiled in controversy accused of spying on behalf of beijing here's

and donald trump's pick for a u.s. attorney general is being given a tough time over his views on the miller investigation into election meddling but as killed my open explains there are far more troubling episodes in the nominees past that house and 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 sleep on constant hang sheets to create some semblance of privacy the air guarded 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. doubled they doubled 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 back once again as he prepares to take the attorney general hot seat . r.t. new york all right thanks for choosing r.t. for your sunday news roundup i'll be back with lots more in just over thirty minutes but do stay close now if four more great programs beginning in moments.
