alleged. russian. of russian intelligence. u.s. says the fight against. terrorists and their families sleeving stronghold in syria never to be defeated. got a new show called. first

this hour a suspected british institute that seeks to counter russian descent from ation is now being investigated by the u.k.'s national crime agency the suspect. agency the g.r.u. . here in the u.k. the now infamous highly likely formula pops back into the spotlight as reports circulate citing white hole sources claiming that russia's military intelligence service the g.r.u. had been according to them the one to hack and up until recently not very well known british beast institute for state craft now we understand that now that's been announced that the national crime agency here in the case carrying out an investigation into the cyber attack of this think tank and at the same time we're

hearing that a former senior ministry of defense civil servant who is also a co-founder of this institute for statecraft is already claiming that it could only have been russia despite a lack of proof so far the only thing we send to. our assessment an institute for statecraft and its program the integrity of initiative that has been in the headlines for the last couple of months on and off is a program that aims to tackle what's called russian descent for me ssion they try to expose feek news all of this is done to the tune of over two point two million pounds provided by the british government and this institute and its files had been taken and posted on a third party website first time back in november so this is how all of this unraveled and the g.r.u.

is now brought into all of this and of course if you remember the g.r.u. is familiar with this sort of highly likely accusations ever since the solsbury scandal the government has concluded that it is highly likely that russia was responsible. is criminal and we think it will mean you like me to do it was his decision it was highly likely that russia was responsible for this reckless and despicable act the russian president's spokesperson discourse. has commented on these latest developments he's said that the russian state is not involved in any cyber attacks and in fact that russia had offered international cooperation with when it comes to issues of cyber security however to no avail but in this particular case let's see what happens of course this investigation is going on so . hundreds of i still find surrendering to u.s. banks into the jihadists who surrendered they're also women and children at the scene some of them the wives all vital fighters and they still believe this is not

the end of the caliphate. the village of bugaboos has been a hot spot for the syrian democratic forces for several weeks last week u.s. backed troops in syria launched an assault on well they call the last i saw in the country respond donald trump repeatedly declaring victory over i saw the top u.s. general says that the fight is far from over. we have won against isis now we've won reduction of the physical caliphate is a monumental military accomplishment but the fight against isis and violent extremism is far from over 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 we will continue our deliberate withdrawal of forces and capabilities as directed by the president but also retain

a residual force on the ground to continue our mission and safeguard our interests well as general votel testified in tongues recently or just today he said. yes this is the end of the territorial state which is very important but it is new ground and have formed we believe that forms sleeper cells which are going to activate in the you know it's some future date from the later. clarify that this is the territorial state and that's why he's reversed his opinion on u.s. troops remaining in syria you know there's a there's a hundred ways to count troops and that may not include a lot of the regular soldiers perhaps national forces you see advisers diplomats and an aid organization so there's likely to be a lot more americans there there's going to still be a lot of isis trouble and we're seeing bomb attacks being carried out in iraq on

a weekly basis and there have been isis attacks in northern syria as well so i says is far from over and. whatever claims about this the president is making are misleading. while way has filed a lawsuit against the united states over what the chinese telecoms giant is calling an unconstitutional federal ban on its products the company seeking to reverse that ban which he says has affected its ability to compete on the american market the u.s. authorities accuse well way of trying to bypass international sanctions on iran and they've requested the extradition of that c.f.o. from canada the company's also been accused of industrial espionage after allegedly trying to steal trade secrets from its competitor team obama washington also claims that the tech giant engaged in espionage on behalf of beijing on the chinese telecom company was imposed last year barring federal agencies from purchasing or using while way products vangelis it's us has the story. well it seems the wall way

is now on the counter attack the chinese still a communication company is suing the united states government the lawsuit comes after a bill was passed in the united states last year restricting wall ways business in the u.s. the chinese telecom firm claims that the national defense also known as the n.b.a. is in on constitutional legislation the united states government has long accused wall way of sealing certain secrets and spying for the chinese state but whenever they were asked if there was any evidence they cannot provide any. on the british street if. this. is. the shining the cus. you think this suit. is each round the joses said it was the easter

weekend there is no. charge. but it's not only the wall weighs on the counterattack it's the company's c.e.o. fall after she was announced that she would face extradition to the united states she filed a lawsuit against comedian the claiming that her constitutional rights have been violated and the one she claims the washi was all detained none her constitutional rights of an advisor and another is that her luggage have been searched even though she had no idea she was under arrest now this the united states have been pressuring a lot of the employees and the people that are dealing with while we're in the tour last month all u.s. top officials michael pale and mike pence born its european allies the proceed on using any of the equipment while building any of the infrastructure in the continent they will face consequences when dealing with the united states in january one of the employees in poland was arrested for allegedly spying for the chinese state and in the same month the united states government filed to criminal

. charges against claiming that they were storing u.s. sanctions on iran and that they were stealing trade secrets from american telecommunications companies now this is very interesting because both of the officials from the countries from china and the united states claim that this has nothing to do with politics but critics around the world believe that they're much closer than what the look. was glamorous joseph chang believes that the whole wall way case is being used as leverage in u.s. china trade negotiations. what the chinese are part and while why was like. this tiny. cooperate and timing and the price of oil why it has done nothing wrong and yet at the same time but also. to be that is to go to court to prove. to prove that the united states government has acted. from the american. government's point of view the process

is more meant to exert pressure on wall weight than to exert pressure on the chinese government in the trade negotiations the trade negotiations can be resolved in the united states paper that is say. is ready to make concessions and to follow. international intellectual property rights for collations then these cases become insignificant and the american government government may well be willing to settle the case. in. your made in generous manner. it has been an amazing couple of days in football's champions league the holders from madrid crashed out on tuesday when this exaction saw a porter and a massively improved manchester united go through to the quarter finals and all

three of those teams have been managed by jos a very near he's back on our team he's got a new show here it is on the touchline. thunder in interview and football was was really really good to put the needle in the warm for good seeing that would be naive as they look in the cup for position results are phenomenal writable is not about ifs or some other historic. food seems to threes the quarter finals of the champions league they are i.x. munched united poor and spurs some cracking games this week let's start with i accept for one demolition every on the grid the been a bag they go three five three in aggregate no one predicted that today. really

difficult to predict that because. real madrid these. very strong teen everybody knows three times when they're consecutive the which is an absolutely amazing records. very young team that has a beautiful style of play but many many times is not competitive in is not smart enough to compete with the top teams in europe i played them two years ago in the you know pollute final and was is that they're what we do we felt good seeing technically very good but. i would be naive and they show you that through that in the first match at home. in amsterdam they were really strong they created lots of problems too real madrid but in the end they made a couple of mistakes real madrid punished them and the match that could have and with a different result real madrid wants all the feeling for the second leg was a little bit more of the same but they got real madrid in the. you know hard

moments. and they go to the game with nothing to lose with that pressure the real heads on the shoulders they go into the game they score of all real madrid the immediately has. some reaction heats the bolts twice and when you feel that the momentum is not the moment the pressure is coming to ones and belief comes to the others and tactically speaking what did they get so right when they beat reality because the times that you seem to seem to go through them it will i think that the position of privilege create lots of problems because they play with doug each as a fig nine so he was coming into between the lines he was going to be an extra man in midfield running away from the central defenders of three that sometimes tried

to press sometimes they stayed in position but they're seeing more than that was the the free mind. was that. was that tweet to do to fuel the game with the happiness of the young people the ghost of the world to show what they can do to show their qualities if they lose that's a normal seeing if they get a positive result that's good if they knock out the three times champions league winner is something really amazing and they went for that credit for them manager sorry suggested they were mitigating circumstances he said look you know we had it would work twice in the first half we lost two key plays in the first half we had a controversial third goal against us when we didn't know where the border going out or not when their third could it been different on a different night you think from real madrid if you looked in that perspective yes

because. while i'm in the to vote on hit the post and i think that the goal one. in now in control. has a molding to do that escalate but that didn't happen either x. was was really really good they were not afraid to to play at the bell the guys assured great. attitude you know they put the needle in the warm real madrid was was. psychologically in some difficulties and. that's absolutely amazing amazing the fact that they were to the over there where when they were before now let's talk about another amazing result manchester united beating at paris and your man in paris three one on the night three three on aggregate man united gave three on away goals and result decided by a very controversial last minute bars penalty decision that went man united way did

you think it was a penalty i think it was as human beings we can make mistakes on the peach on real time with a fraction of the said. and to the sides when it goes to the technology and to view you would have to try not to make mistakes so i'm sure that was. lots of communication for that decision with the referee with the referees inside of the room and that was the and that was a decision porter i gave three you from my side they beat matthew one at the drag out going three for three in aggregate again a last minute penalty decision decided by again great drama and again great decision. is a clear pattern of the and these on sides and this is the kind of penalty that mean that ninety five. i don't think the referee would give it also because the position of the body of the defender and the attacker doesn't give the

referee a complete view of the situations and in this moment the teams that are going to be qualified in this moment before that they're already qualified they have all of them twelve point five percent chances of winning the champions league and. certainly you are in the group of twenty five percent chances of winning. when you look to but is there some real madrid to be contenders do we need they are already away liverpool by a munich one of them will be also out i think every team. including god is the top of them and don't forget that. amongst the. big big chances for a big surprise this season of one to two we need two or at least one team to be to

be in the final that nobody expects or in the bottom of the p.s.g. manager seemed to suggest that you know he felt his side should have won that given the domination they had during the game given all the possession the chance they had. it did seem like it science man united were hanging on but they won the game but i suppose again in different circumstances it could accomplish these well you know if you compare. that match with the real madrid match it looks like it is easier to see no belts that deserved to win that match at the ben avail in spite of real had this couple of chances when you will do this one in paris as a man you can go in the program ethically and say football is not about football is about is about a result of my chest and that you've had four shots during the ninety five minutes and then four shots course three balls. and p.s.g.

had. almost seventy percent or more perception had the more than ten shots and they scored only one that's that's the prometric way of looking at football. in terms of players i was immediately thinking about that beach because i think it was you will ski played in that amazing match but then after. united victory. and putting together the two the two match days tuesday wednesday. and also because normally when things go wrong. everybody goes into the direction of the guilty manager let's say that i think independent of the performances. and manchester united results are phenomenal results and if the responsibility in the bed days is for the managers the

responsibility of the good days is also for the managers so for me. from x. and. from manchester united. incredible incredible results so credit to credit to them i would say in relation to x. by. the tactical perspective. and also by the mental expect of their game much less than i do go to see the mental side of it's the self the self believe so for me very special days for these two men. but just changing the set now you will be standing up the next time i hear you play football yourself not just the money you have the playoffs not define a sign. how do you get on do you think you can think so i think so over so many

balls and all that i don't know from. something like going to school. well positioned to play in the in a couple position of trying to get out is how you organize the bilby gov and i don't run much because the guy that know my cube is nineteen and all of the other guys from me nineteen twenty four five so how would you describe yourself as a player and yesterday coming tonight. no i think you're the coach on the pitch you know organizing speaking the leading east play didn't even you were in you stage of your career you know decent level you know i played. in the in the portuguese second division which is like the english friendship some of us were students and some of us even some guys that have had some let's say

part time jobs but it was a professional professional competition as the second division was just going to go on the porch beats. the portuguese prime of the yeah i was. nineteen twenty but. i went to win the and. it was hard to be a better level and. you win that the same time when i finish uni. i would. immediately to all the approaching so i was twenty five when i wrote my first job as a coach not bad moves i know very little play or the complete years was was very very good. fences or athletic a madrid even a trailing to neil after losing inspect hold and be surprised with the huge comeback from from a home team. gets to me gets.

for one. i wouldn't be i'll be surprised but on this thing if a team can cope with. the pressure if a team can. can defend the leads for team can control defensively the game lead to quiz is a good example of a team that can do bed so if i head if i had to choose old still choose. to call madrid but to be a surprise for me if he returns if there are next one by an all liverpool that finish and after the first leg i see him by and in spite of up and down season i see them now on on a. with the moral of god will lose in consecutively and then recovering positions even in the book in this league and they see as a team that can score goals if i had to choose i wouldn't bet on pounds but if i

had two trees old old shoes by an ok right barcelona only on amelia and did well to get a goal is result from the first leg but i'm guessing you go for barcelona i have to first of all because usually on goes the what is it on in the door with goals or we in the game and not called barcelona in spite of the good team. and they can go with the same kind of mentality has the. many united the. i think would be like. an all laker thunder in interview in football if one of the lonely is is the sort of big dream to be your god and that home will be we're talking little i don't believe that messy and in these fellows

are going to lose these opportunities so for me but still on the house doing ok and man city again shall care man city got three way goals in the first leg three. men cities are very good season. but on this the the so lucky in the draws and you look even to the chimpanzee and their group phase and the tie against the sharks would see the beach. and they will get to port or in the quarter final. in moscow no more against spartak. is a match to have. the winter break. begin in russia that the teams there have time to rest they have time to to buy to sell they have time to to have

a proper pre-season the in the in the warmer weather those were the can come back for these remaining part of the season really strong in england i think of the whole much us are in that it is a crucial match for the top four the top four spurs chelsea. arsenal and manchester united are fighting for two for two positions and i think these are these match is the match of the weekend. and everybody speculates about where you're going next can you give us any hints now i'm going home. but what on. it's the gaunts i don't know. and all speculations are speculations. i never heard that. and the protocol and situation and i'm not desperate to work at all. i'm studying i'm doing things that i cannot do when i'm walking

i mean these moments on on the side of of the cameras which is a good perspective for me too i hope to be working in the in the summer i hope. to be. working happily in the next pre-season droon july but there is nothing at all to say i promise if one day there is unsing to say i really ought to know. was not great i'll be back with the latest news headlines see you in half an hour.
