a political scandal sort of the top of his government now justin trudeau has been accused of leading a campaign of pressure against his former attorney general to prevent the prosecution of one of the country's biggest companies and cut a deal instead i experienced a consistent and sustained effort by many people within the government to seek to politically interfere in an inappropriate effort to secure a deferred prosecution agreement with s. and c. level and the prime minister asked me to help out to find a solution here for s n c the scandal surrounds a canadian company which is one of the world's largest engineering construction firms in twenty fifteen it was charged with bribery and fraud over the payment of nearly one hundred million dollars in kickback to libyan officials the dealings allegedly involved family members of the former leader moammar gadhafi they were meant to secure contracts in the lucrative irrigation project back to this day just intrude denies any appropriate behavior system he was just trying to save jobs. i

1:07 am
ideals in ten months there will be an election in canada so no matter where this goes constitutional crisis a political crisis there will be a problem in the election and just into those leadership is definitely in question now the idea was that if since eleven and we face prosecution. it might have to move headquarters away from canada so and also. since eleven is in writing where trudeau is directly involved the more writings you win the more chances you haven't been in an election must have been very important for trudeau to have taken such really. amateur measures and he thought he could he could pressure his justice minister.

in a bid to ease the humanitarian crisis in yemen the un's raise more than two and a half billion dollars at a high level pledging event in geneva but that's well short nonetheless of the target of four billion dollars needed to fulfill this year's a plan on top of that many of the donor countries ones linked to an almost four year old conflict in yemen either by fighting or selling arms. more than the last twenty four million yemeni is in need of a of some sort i don't because they haven't received salaries because they are sleeping hungry at night i've let children you know i thought i was telling me they
1:09 am
go to sleep hungry every other day because they can't afford to have i mean every day they've been displaced much of the times they've lost their houses there is no safe place in yemen and does not yet for hasn't been one way or another witness this war be it on the land the sea and air strikes artillery tank fire that is happening every day. they are the top donors they have been traditionally the ones most generous in funding in which they are united but at the same time they are also the most active directory or indicted it's with the sales of weapons orders i don't think that you don't see how many civilians so we're alerted calling for them and so the hypocrisy ended up a list of the old school feeding was one of the yemenis to keep them alive destroying
1:10 am
the consulate the other why the ages desperate to me that they themselves not being before that day to the war to the fighting to the blockade of yemen the use of weapons despite its having a direct impact on women children civilians who have obsolete in almost day in this continent. to walk away empty handed from the summit with north korea yes they don't trump appears to be trying to save face making a surprise coming on syria tease about angelo sepsis breaks for us. it seems the summit was not so optimistic as it was expected president said that the united states wanted more commitment from north korea an interview we gave after the summit he pointed out that he was talking about the complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula while kim was talking about only several places he also said that he didn't want to make concessions in lifting sanctions without
1:11 am
a concrete plan however north korea said there was a realistic proposal on the table in a rare press conference late friday night here in hanoi north korea's foreign minister said that chairman kim offered a written commitment to no longer to its long range missiles and to allow inspections in nuclear facilities at north korea but trump walked away and it didn't go that well back home he's facing criticism for the failure of the summit anyway no real deal so it seems like trump decided to make his way back home to washington a little less pessimistic he stopped in alaska and made an announcement we just took over you know you kept hearing it was ninety percent ninety two percent the caliphate in syria now it's one hundred percent we just took over one hundred percent caliphate that means the area of the land we just have one hundred percent so that's good and a powerful speech he said that he the coalition forces have completely kicked out isis from syria but it contradicts the f. one of the u.s.
1:12 am
allies the situation on the ground in december though president announce there will be a full draw of u.s. forces by spring however late in february washington said that it would maintain a peacekeeping group of four hundred soldiers which would be in syria full long term plan in the beginning of last month the president trumps that he would make a formal announcement to the american people declaring the complete control of isis territory in syria but he has not made that announcement yet. policy analyst michael maloof believes the tummy of him as well wasn't coincidental. trump is got trying to show success. he and that i think was one of the considerations in the discussions in in vietnam war over over north korean missiles the reality is is that trump is looking to make a deal and to show international success and to so that he can have something to come back to and to offset the turmoil the inter the political turmoil he's
1:13 am
facing back home but if we've taken over isis in syria then the question remains what about the troops u.s. troops who are there in syria what will happen with them those are questions that remain unanswered. but university the u.s. is launching a probe after a graffiti attack on the campus calls for one of its law professors to resign it came after faculty dean ronald sullivan decided to join the legal team representing the disgraced hollywood film producer harvey weinstein and he says he's got the story this morning. down with that seeing how fed doesn't care these are just some of the angry slogans held by protesters on campus at harvard university why the meeting me if meant it to me to me to me to be to me to be pulled.
1:14 am
only this time the accused has not been inappropriate towards women the rights lie with disgraced movie mogul harvey weinstein has assembled his legal dream team he can afford the best and that includes a top harvard law school professor ronald seven he's tried to explain the simple right to a fair trial but the students are having none of it it's particularly important for this category of unpopular defendant to receive the same process as everyone else perhaps even more important to the degree we deny unpopular defendants basic due process rights we cease to be the country we imagine ourselves to be. he's got a point everyone accused of a crime is entitled to the best legal defense they can get even weinstein who isn't even the most notorious to of sullivan's catalogue of controversial clients but some students have to have taken the cue from what would you rather have a client who committed a crime mahlum in say or malum prohibitum these are the ones that.
1:15 am
i would rather have a client his innocent that being that is of outrage you have failed the black women in this community not only as one of the few black faculty deans on campus but also as a community leader someone who were inspected and looked to for guidance and even a petition online calling for sullivan threatening nation with the escalation on campus of its administration and starting climate review of the house after which it promises appropriate action as dean of the college one of my highest priorities is to ensure that the support students receive for their is additional communities are poles institutional commitment to their well being if awards plaudits and legal winds are anything to go by sullivan's track record is formidable but when you're signed up by an unpopular defendant like one stain even the best legal reputation can bite the dust in the unforgiving court of public opinion. or thought on this is
1:16 am
folks international law expert jennifer breathes she thinks that rhetoric revolving around the case might set a dangerous precedent. i think it just goes to show the the down fall in the trajectory of top american law schools yes everybody has a right to legal defense but not really everybody in america this is the precedent that's being set only some people have a right to a legal defense only some people have the right to an attorney only some people have the right to representation and that's the precedent that we're seeing be set by these activist organizations is that if you don't agree with me if you don't do something that i like yes harvey weinstein's crimes are agree just granted but it's setting a precedent to say that if we don't like if we don't approve of what you've done then you're not worthy of the bill of rights and of the united states public for a picture of an broads uses a target practice and a tough road for us politician buddy saunders just a couple of stories ahead when i come back after this break.
1:17 am
1:18 am
plus your. i gave of all of this is out international law from moscow with me kevin our next a shooting range in the u.k. has been branded distasteful for allowing pictures of ice or bride should mean a beggar to be used as target practice the teenager or adult recently after an interview in which she showed no remorse or regret about fleeing initially to syria one of her images used at the range covered in bullet holes has been widely shared on line reactions be mixed. in a society where hate and violence against muslims particularly muslim women is most
1:19 am
prevalent on the rise it's deeply concerning that people requested an image of a real person as a shooting target why you're so worried about a traitor they're just blaming with her poster her isis friends tast real human hands of beheaded victims like a football and she wasn't raised remember that she was bigger was born in britain but fled to syria four years ago to join i saw when she was fifteen she now says she'd like to return to the u.k. but britain has moved to revoke her citizenship so here's how the shooting range explains why they chose to add begum to their targets the targets provide some fantastic reactions and conversations and allow people to have some lighthearted fun and bring out the in a child in us all the targets we provide do not necessarily always reflect our personal opinions after watching footage of should mean being interviewed and the lack of remorse and empathy she shows we chose to go ahead and run the targets we are so i guess whether it was unethical or not to use a real person's image in this way or a reaction against
1:20 am
a widely valid fired individual. the issue is how it's going to actually impact on muslims in this country and muslim women in particular and the fact that we need to recognize that she whether we like it or not because she is a muslim woman she is going to inevitably represent something that the people who are going to range people are saying this is something that is going to be targeting muslim women in the second what is more what is more offensive to muslim women the fact that should be pagans picture was i think shooting bags almost nobody is going to go to all the fact that somebody is appearing on international television to say that should mean begum is a vet present state of muslim women in britain that is not what i said that is a caricature of precisely what i've actually precisely what you said that night if you have knowledge of the need to actually think about why do you allow me to finish what you allow me to finish what i'm talking about plane that is being made
1:21 am
is that a racist environment this is a racist environment which you are a part of which is encouraging the targeting of muslim women she is a terrorist and their law abiding citizens and frankly you should take that back you should apologize to muslim women in this country for suggesting that she is like them this is a process of desensitization of children from a very early age and this is problematic because it is saying that it's ok to shoot and kill women in her job because that's exactly what is being suggested in this to call it harmless fun i think it's important that we recover the child advocates on the t.v. channels that we should take military action to get the child bites u.k. who after all is an innocent victim she can take a hike i don't care about this i don't have. to release idea if she also says it's not true and b. so a fed was there to raise all of that. if it's all i want because he's a terrorist so that's an average pretty place in
1:22 am
a way that would be taken away but for a white person that would not be an option. their citizenship would be taken away he said all out of bounds of the law recognize that there's a structural racism that exists through everything that you are actually racism is that what you are defining should be liable to save the euro the great how about defending her out and try her and that's the issue there is an environment of hate that exists i think what we have to think first of all who are the real victims here should be is a terrorist she supported a brutal terrorist regime that disgraceful idea in the media that we should be seeing her as the victim i think it's sad and pathetic that it would not be the role of the british state to tell british people what they can and can't do just cause one or two people are offended by it if we lived our lives bunning everything that that one person found offensive nothing would exist in the world i thank god i live in a country where we're never going to do that. a desire for soft toilet paper as
1:23 am
a devastating effect on ancient canadian forests according to environmental groups during the report sheds some light on the consequences of the activity of leading tissue brands seems the united states uses more toilet paper than any other country an average american uses three roles a week is counted the report says a failure to create more sustainable products makes consumers complicit in flushing forest down the toilet and if further it reveals that almost sixty percent of all canadian paper export goes to the us so campaigners say that the excessive use of tissue products severely damage is not only nature in global climate but also the lives of indigenous peoples as well but taking away the environment they live in we spoke with tyson miller he's a forest programs director and one of the groups behind the report. that statistic that american consumption is impacting the the boreal forest that that's something that's of concern and so i think it underscores also the need for the canadian government to step up and do more to protect more of its forests we are calling on
1:24 am
companies like procter and gamble on big brands like sharman to do better to use more recycled fiber apparently sharman has zero recycled fiber in it. and to the response about the about the worse trees that are used in the paper on a global scale what we need to be doing is protecting as many force as we can keeping forest standing not you know logging for our seizing the materials once in them but in the land cells or washing them down the toilet. seat and this is a criticism i forget is that it rigged a hostile audience against american politician but he sounded as.
1:25 am
troubling us all the stupid american university how can a voter like me feel confident in your ability to represent the party especially given that your response to sexual harassment allegations during your campaign is that you were quote a little bit busy running around the country trying to make the case to be a leftist president. good evening there's a lot of misinformation regarding your plan for universal health care would you please provide a brief overview of your plan and how it differs from that of other candidates. if you become president will you support efforts to offer high quality optional publicly funded preschool for all americans. i'm
1:26 am
a student at the george washington university which tell it's impressive seventy three thousand stickers cost as president tell you where to leave this issue. this is a law that a long running to caesar than the u.s. political system untrue is or used to try to undermine opposing parties and no notion of opposing parties is just fundamentally destroying every country people just attacking each other for opposing sides that really decides what's really true is that this might be showing a symptom of something. it just has to do it and the serial dialogue and progress through competition or progress through conflicts so i think that c.n.n. has their systemic issues just because again they have to have yours which is sort of sad but i find that that to be par for the course the way that our media
1:27 am
operates and it's hard to find media that is doesn't have an agenda i would not be surprised if c.n.n. wanted to have a certain kind of public experience of this political figure. well the stories of the main world news stories are shaping up so far this march the first exactly nine twenty seven moscow time always more a side r.t. dot com if you get all our headlines as the break because strange mobile device will leave you without for kevin over here mosco said have a great day whatever you're up to. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next hope the ball different clubs on one hand it is logical to go from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and a fresh perspective i'm used to surprising people and i saw one on t.v.
1:28 am
. i'm going to talk about football not the or else you can sink i was going to the. by the way ways of that slide here. what we really need is someone from the outside. we had some very good. also because. say they lost. souls they say kids not intermediate between cause of the palestinians. much was expected from the noise summit there may have been goodwill on both sides but in the end neither the united states nor north korea could agree on the path forward the two sides failed to reach a common understanding of what their desired endgame for denuclearization actually
1:29 am
ends. most folks don't like the truth. we're living in a generation. then. is confused just as it relates to the truth. where does have power. and the truth is minute to build up. donald j. trump say is. sweet. whatever he feels like saying. to his own. destruction. ya need to hit me today. just because you say what's on your mind
1:30 am
then what you feel does not mean that you are a good still would over the truth. if you from some weird secret sort of bottom itself would be always surprised if you saw that it was so but if you google some university a pang campus and university on forty fifth street and you could make one shine you know on the bottom you want to get it if you got a project.
