dead right so the money velocity you measure money is being long down from bank to bank to bank bank which is a measure of economic health is dead and the money printing continues to increase said i'm asking the question why is the money not getting into the economy they're printing more. signs a presidential proclamation recognizing it seized from syria in one nine hundred sixty seven israel damascus has already blasted the u.s. move as an act of aggression. defense forces say they've carried out air strikes on key hamas buildings including military headquarters and the office of the head of the palestinian organization after israel said a mass fired a rocket from gaza. into years of digging but one conclusion there was no collusion between russia during the twenty
5:01 pm
sixth presidential election. the president's rivals for digging deeper. it was a complete and total exoneration so much needs to be you know taken a look at this point and so. great to have you with us midnight here in moscow this is our. double trump assigned a president disputed area on the border with syria. a presidential proclamation recognizing israel's sovereign right over the golan heights.
5:02 pm
i discussed the issue earlier with artie's. president trumps move is of course big news and it's been discussed all over the world since the actual tweet came out but i'll tell you what golan heights is disputed territory the only two countries that are actually believe this is israeli territory is the us starting this monday and israel but for everyone else this is not the case and the you and the un have already said that for them nothing is changed us policy on golan is reflected in the relevant resolutions of the security council and that policy has not changed by international law as i've said the golan heights are syrian territory occupied by israel israel took control of the territory back in one thousand nine hundred sixty seven but de facto they and next did in one thousand nine hundred one under a law that was passed in that country now syria called what donald trump did
5:03 pm
a blatant act of aggression against their sovereignty and against their territorial integrity turkey russia and the arab league also condemned what donald trump did. that this was indeed a heavy step that might actually cause an earthquake in the middle east so presumably the pm netanyahu is pretty pleased what else can is a reaction be he is delighted and that is to say the least the president ladies and gentlemen this is truly a story. comes at a time of the good loan is more important than ever for our security would be wrong is trying to establish bases in syria to structured israel. of course he was there and he used this opportunity once again to thank donald for recognizing jerusalem as the capital of israel and also moving is that missy there that's what mr trump
5:04 pm
did back in two thousand and seventeen. the recognition of the golan heights comes as israel says that it struck the offices of key hamas buildings in guards there on monday but must buildings were reportedly empty at the time the i.d.f. said tack came after a rocket was allegedly fired by hamas from gaza injuring seven people amass is reporting egypt has now brokered a cease fire between palestinian resistance groups and israel journalist based in israel martin handel gave us his reaction to the day's developments. if you hours ago the israeli air force started to bombard gaz in retaliation for that rocket that was fired into central israel that rocket crossed all the political and warning lines between israel and hamas so a very significant as really response was expected that that response has begun with very strong airstrikes knocking down prominent government buildings but not
5:05 pm
really taking lives at this stage and so hamas obviously and its allies have responded there was some mortar fire so far in southern israel towards a couple shells across a couple shells actually landed in gases and that was the reason for that siren but the bomb shelters have been opened up in tel aviv and in other major centers there is mobilization of forces to some degree there are tanks and infantry units moving towards the border and the air force is working and you know it's coming home so it's a serious that escalation the question is how far will it go. let's bring in dr rumsey baroudi u.s. palestinian journalist and media consultant welcome ramsey what do you think of this the u.s. saying golan heights israeli. basically what is happening at this point is that trump administration. policy which is really largely orchestrated
5:06 pm
by gerry and his team are trying to give nothing. everything that he wants at this point not not merely to win the elections and it will not. but also to kind of clear that. the united states stands on the side of his one hundred percent and conditionally and blank and even though this is been going on for such a long time what somebody actually going further than other administrations in the past he is violating the very norms of politics that his own country has created. moving away from the two state solutions moving away from the. west bank and the golan heights and gaza as a cure by territories removing his embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem one after the other he is. being and he's completely falling into the israeli
5:07 pm
tribe and kind of creating this this this replica of israeli right wing israeli policies that are being replicated in washington d.c. it is a very tragic day for american foreign policy to say the least but it's not entirely surprising considering the succession of events starting with moving the embassy to jerusalem and everything else that happened in between. do you think that potentially this can happen connection but the i.d.f. say that they've just attacked mass buildings in gaza key buildings they say there are reports of sirens surge in the south of israel i mean the obviously the hostilities continue but do you think it could exacerbate things. not just in gaza but i think in general with the palestinians and within and with syria the reason that they decided to go after the golan heights now they are under the
5:08 pm
impression that syria is weakened the central government is incapable of of really kind of establishing a clear and strong and decisive foreign policy it's barely trying to battle the opposition and isis and other groups and this is the best time for champ to hand this gift of the war that hides in one surely of course to international law and common sense to israel he's doing the same thing else where in palestine not just drizzle him but the found that he is cutting off the palestinians of any money the fact that he is trying to isolate the palestinians politically and elsewhere in preparation for the so-called the deal of the century so that palestinians and this if you wish and is going to reaches a point where it's reversible and this is the reality in which the syrians and the palestinians and other arabs would have to deal with you know all of the issues that matter to israel are off the table per chance on language what is their lives
5:09 pm
for palestinians to talk about at this point so i think yes escalation will continue in gaza up if we haven't noticed just in the last year alone two hundred palestinians have been killed in gaza thousands have been injured just a couple of days ago three young people in the west bank in hebrew and in bethlehem and elsewhere have been killed so the escalation against palestinians have been going on for a long long time just the media all only notice is that escalation when palestinians retaliate and then the story kind of like becomes relevant and becomes kind of the center of the media cycle but the excavation has been going on regardless of what some does or doesn't do israel and the us say that the golan heights israeli territory pretty much the rest of the world as i understand it disagrees but including the u.n. will anybody do anything about it is the question or is it going to be just more talk. i think someone has got to do something about it because we are we are
5:10 pm
reaching we know that the united states hasn't really been you know a great fan of international law and the united nations and the various you understood lucian's. we knew that but it's reaching the point that that the u.s. is operating almost entirely detached and disconnected from the fact that there is such a thing as international law and there is such a building as the united nations that is actually based in an american city in new york no the question is if the u.s. continues to violate the very norms of and the very foundation of international law . what kind of precedent is this setting who else is going to follow the lead of the united states regarding this issue we look at brazil wants to move its embassy you know among other countries from tel aviv to jerusalem what does the u.s.
5:11 pm
is doing it does not it does not delete or does not discard international law because the international law is above the united states and above donald trump but it's kind of needed setting these kind of political precedents in which you will eventually have this conglomerate of countries that are you know big hours of washington who are wishing to operate outside the realm of international law we know israel and the u.s. as your report has stated earlier are you know members of this club but that club will expand if the international community does not take some concrete steps to stop netanyahu and trump from changing the norms of international law together. of his speaking with dr rumsey borrowed us palestinian journalist and media consultant thank you for your time dr barrett. two years of
5:12 pm
digging twenty five million dollars spent almost three thousand subpoenas sent only one conclusion though donald trump's team did not conspire with russia to win the twenty sixth the us presidential election the details his article a morbid. well as we saw on friday the report was filed with the u.s. department of justice bob muller's pro the has concluded and he filed his report it is now in the hands of the attorney general and the report which has not yet been released was a company with a letter in which bob muller made clear he did not call for any further indictments and it seems that trump is exonerated at nope no point was any collusion with russia discovered it seems that what trump has said from the beginning was confirmed by this letter accompanying the report let's take a listen as the report states the investigation did not establish that the members of the trim companion conspired who coordinated with the russian government in its election interference activities were serious announced there was no could withdraw
5:13 pm
the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard there was no coming in with the russian there was no ups truck here. and none whatsoever. and it was a complete and total exoneration now at this point however the democrats are determined to keep the story going they have been rallying around the montra of this is not over and they've been calling for the entire report from the bob muller probe the entire report that is now in the hands of the u.s. attorney general to be made public there's so much that needs to be you know taken a look at at this point and so it's not the end of everything we're going to have to wait to see the report and the report needs to be made public a.s.a.p. he has in effect created headlines that will create a trap for all of us because we have to avoid falling into the headline messages
5:14 pm
shock schumer and nancy pelosi leaders of the democratic party in the u.s. congress say that the report actually raises more questions. then it answers at this point they are saying not only do they want the entire port report put out made available to the public but furthermore they're saying the report doesn't exonerate donald trump or the president has not been exonerated by the special counsel yet the attorney general has decided not to go further or apparently to share those findings with the public we now call on the attorney general to honor that request to release the report and the underlying evidence and to appear before the judiciary committee to answer our questions without delay so after roughly twenty five million dollars was spent three thousand subpoenas went out we now have the conclusion of the bob miller probe that there was in fact no collusion with russia and u.s. president donald trump they did not collude during the two thousand and sixteen
5:15 pm
presidential elections before by somebody else and the no further indictments will be made as the it takes thirty two years of them of the probe. two years they spent beating and bagging on the drums of collusion looking for traitors betrayal russian agents spies and sellouts and leading this righteous crusade inquisition was the champion savior a messiah of the left robert mueller all eyes are in special counsel robert muller the man who could save this democracy in the mall or investigation as the best hope the white house is bracing bracing for the final report speculations are building wait for the model report wait for the marble i think robert mueller is going to get to the bottom of it was so much hope so much optimism that the traitors would
5:16 pm
be rooted out all for nothing ended by a letter in a plain envelope no more indictments not one american charged with colluding with russia how that hurt if you could only feel the pundits pain now come the tias robert muller is still at this point publicly silent as he has been from the very beginning honestly flip through the different news channels see for yourself the full spectrum of emotions where some cry others rage you think he missed the boat here how can they lead trump off the hook how can that happen then of course there's the nile how can this be on a single traitor unthinkable it must be a conspiracy it feels like the seeds of a coverup are here amongst the tea is the rage in the denial is also acceptance sad
5:17 pm
acceptance the good old days of burning witches are over by investigating the president and reaching conclusions he did a solid favor he's been the sunshine so thank you robert. moeller but you can't fool everyone there are journalists loosely speaking that know better better than you. the f.b.i. and common sense i don't need them all report to know he's a traitor i have the t.v. they are the dauntless few they believe that the traitors are out there they will be found and that the hunt goes on short moeller report would mark the end of the beginning not the beginning of the end this saga after the president's legal saga doesn't appear to be anywhere close to being over as the president hopes and while the pundits weep and cry scream everyone else is laughing at them can you really blame them.
5:18 pm
the report though maintains that the kremlin conducted cyber activity to influence those elections russia's foreign ministry has issued a statement following the release of the report's key findings noting moscow has long expressed willingness to discuss and the concerns over alleged election medley and the ministry added that the russia collusion theme has been driven soley by internal us here and the intelligence community which kept the collusion narrative alive without evidence for two years. there should be major accountability in the
5:19 pm
us media and in the intelligence community they united with to draw on us political discourse for two years straight in only hinged conspiratorial trash distracting from real issues i am a lawyer by profession i'm sure you know this and i'm trying to figure out what is it about no evidence are people trying to decide for example if somebody were to take a pregnancy test and it comes back negative what does that mean it means somebody is not pregnant there's a lot of things that happen by that neg ation of it the results are not negative nothing half and no one died nobody was hurt nobody was found guilty there was a department of justice rule which states that when you do not have someone indicted when when you know true bill is issued when somebody is not charged according to
5:20 pm
the department of justice rules you don't have any other comment other than the person was not indicted you don't deal with evidence that was considered that is problematic or troublesome that's what komi did and that's what we're seeing now they're violating their own rules these two by the book titans. well the results of this investigation will be discussed in the program going underground with host option for tons he spoke to the wiki leaks editor in chief kristen ronson about why the probe singled out the whistleblowing organization the supposedly a russian agent. well i think it's very interesting that at least the attorney general knowledge that this was just on as there were. dozens of media organizations which are the entities that is were those that were mentioned but only which is as mentioned by name so if you look at the details of what other
5:21 pm
media organizations were doing exactly the same thing as we kill explicitly releasing the information of publishing stories with a mission they included all the major media organization or in the western world so why singling out we can leaks that is quite absurd but it shows the hostility towards organization. the u.s. a computer hacker jailed after a cyber attack on a hospital where a teenager was mistreated as a pail to wate for help and comes amid fears his conditions in prison will be made worse. margin of justice is imprisoning me in retaliation for my human rights work and my now the dui g. wants to put me in a communications management unit where they can restrict my journalism and stop the truth from getting out i am hoping that you hear me and that many many people will petition their us ambassador to stop the lice protect the kids and stop the. many thinks. this is the letter martin got spilled wrote to r t sitting in prison in
5:22 pm
danger of being silenced in solitary confinement the activist is pleading with the world to hear his story it's a tragedy that began back in two thousand and thirteen when a fourteen year old girl just. was checked into boston children's hospital mental ward and denied medication even more gruesome was the physical torment she endured it was so horrible that just dana was confined to a wheelchair and eventually she smuggled out a plea for help right now leave me right now i needed. my family and her plea didn't fall on deaf ears after hearing just tina's heart wrenching story activist marty gutfeld took action hacking into the hospital's computers gutfeld exposed the hospital's abuses and just gina returned to her family and the stuff that's really doesn't feel like it's real good to me you know but
5:23 pm
gutfeld actions came at a price in january he was sentenced to ten years in a federal prison normally reserved for terrorists he was also issued a fine of over four hundred forty thousand dollars and on top of that the legal system assigned a notoriously harsh judge with little mercy for hacktivists gutfeld wife told us the government got a say as a wanton disregard for human life. that's a huge misrepresentation of what happened i just seen and was denied. her pain medication she was in. she was in agony twenty four seven she lost the use of her legs like that her parents were afraid she was going to die and for good reason we've seen other kids and that better five psych ward die instead of the hospital respecting the parent's wishes they started to become strange they started to become very overbearing they took custody away from the parents they had monitored
5:24 pm
calls they won't let their daughter speak about her conditions they try to get the parents to lose complete custody and get the daughter adopted what we have here is boston children's hospital. using institutional abuse on children and they should be recognized for doing that and they should be called out so they can start you know healing a transformative process rather than trying to be about trying to make marty look bad but. you know just seen a can now walk today when at the time we were instigating abuses in the u.s. justice department but it's feared he may soon be silenced as the prison is looking to lock him up in solitary confinement that would mean no more letters no more exposure no more freedom and although the prosecution claimed in court that the hacktivist put lives in danger some are pointing to more clandestine reasons for his confinement monson go to is being bugged by another activist who's jailed on
5:25 pm
hacking related charges part brown was sentenced in two thousand and fifteen and now campaigns against what he calls the silencing of go to by the authorities. a huge amount of information that details wrong doing that is indefensible and that's what happened when that happens or was willing mark are still bringing attention to a part wants to sion just absolute modeller. the little sensible news like the distance of one of the stakes here that they're membrane by which they. prevent the citizenry of their own country other countries from knowing how bad the destruction or other member is being peers and that and then stand out more more and so they've tried a number of different method and that would. force all the government or private intelligence firms from committing the indefensible acts against democracy that
5:26 pm
they will commit relatively caught committing. there should be no wonder that they keep doing them we haven't given the reason not to do that and will not change is will we start making examples of them we will see. we will see a small room and how our government. is just weeks to go until the april twelfth bragg's a deadline parliament is again debating the divorce and westminster with ten still not a great the first in charge of making the deal promised the tories a magazine facing growing reports of a plot by senior members of her own party to removal from office. this was meant to be the week when final preparations for bracks that are being made when britain is sort of getting ready to sail out of the european union come on march twenty ninth and while the e.u. sims to be finalizing their arrangements for a new deal scenario here in westminster certainty continues to be very thin on the
5:27 pm
ground and now we do have the british prime minister making another appearance at the house of commons trying to ones nobody continues to know what it is going to mean as a congress new deadline or another potential new deadline we do know that the british prime minister has made a statement where she underscored that she understands that her deal right now does not have the support needed to have another vote take place at the house of commons however according to her that is still the best way to move forward there is still not sufficient support in the house to bring back a deal for thirteen full vote unless this house agrees to it no deal would not happen no breaks it must not happen and just slow bricks it which extends article fifty beyond the twenty second of may force is the british people to take part in european elections and give control of any of our borders balls money or trade is
5:28 pm
not a great sit that will bring the british people together i know this is the deal i put forward as a compromise this is how it's come back which we could be out of the european union in less than two months would be no further extensions no threat to brics it no risk of a no do you well to receive me traditionally now faced a barrage of questions and criticisms including from opposition party leader jeremy corbyn who demanded that she accept that and discussed talked about the broken promises that the government had made and according to corbin it's time for the parliament and now to take back control we will support measure. for a public vote to stop a no deal or chaotic tory deal the government has had over two years to find a solution and has failed it's time mr speaker we put an end to this and move on from the chaos and savior and begin to clean up the mess it's time for parliament
5:29 pm
to work together and agree on a plan b. well whether or not any such plan b. can be found is of course the massive question hanging over everybody's head here lots and lots of speculation about what's going to happen next and lots and lots of possibilities still remaining on the table where all of this goes we shall observe . finally this hour three russian servicemen delivering humanitarian aid to being killed in a terrorist ambush in syria artie's done hawkins' as details instead.
