A former advisor to u. S. President donald trump has pleaded guilty to lying to the f. B. I. About his contacts with a legit middleman for russia the white house says charges against george proper the oval office and to all the former advisers to Trumps Campaign are irrelevant the white house says the case for fails to show it was collusion with russia to influence the election moscow is once again said the allegations made against it are refined to see our White House CorrespondentKimberly Halkett reports. From do solemnly swear donald trump has been in office less than a year but this is perhaps the most significant day of his presidency so far on monday two of his former associates avoided handcuffs and turned themselves into the authorities in washington the first is paul mann afford the former chair of Donald Trumps president ial Election Campaign the other is rick gates a longtime business associate of matter forts and worked with the white house until march both men appeared in court pleading not guilty to a dozen charges they include conspiracy against the United States also to launder money acting as an agent for a foreign principal providing false statements to investigators and failure to report foreign Bank Accounts. There is no evidence that mr mann a fort with a trunk campaign colluded with the russian government the announcement which caught many off guard that a third person tied to the Truck CampaignGeorge Papadopoulos had pled guilty to lying to the f. B. I. That was over the timing of his meetings with alleged go betweens for russia he is now cooperating with the special investigation led by Robert Muller as with paul mann afforded rick gates the white house is pushing back diminishing the role of papadopoulos as a Foreign Policy adviser this individual was the member of a volunteer Advisory Council them at one time over the course of a year and he was part of a list that risk read out in the Washington Post and hardly call that some sort of regular adviser however its the case of paul manna for which is getting the most attention the indictments paint the picture of a man living a lavish lifestyle when f. B. I. Agents raided his home they even photographed his suits as evidence of Money Laundering more than seventy five million a form payments through offshore Bank Accounts on twitter trump reacted to the arrests he has repeatedly called the investigation into ties between his two thousand and sixteen president ial campaign and russia a witch hunt by political adversaries and the media without offering any evidence the white house says it expects the russia probe to wrap up soon and while the indictment states man a fourth charges involve actions from twenty sixteen on twitter trump contradicted the claim arguing the charges against man a fort emanate from actions taken before chairing trumps president ial bid trump again stated there was no collusion between his campaign and russia metaphor its lawyer calls the charges ridiculous and on capitol hill top u. S. Senators are also issuing statements about the indictments claiming it is proof the justice process is working kimberly help hit aljazeera washington. Paul manifolds lawyer says theres no evidence his client colluded with russia well i think you all saw it today the President Donald Trump was correct there is no evidence that mr mann of port of the Trump Campaign colluded with the russian government this command of foreign represented Pro European Union campaigns for the ukraine. And in that he was seeking to further democracy and to help ukraine come closer to the United States and the e. U. John nichols is National Affairs correspondent in the liberal weekly magazine the nation he says its the indictment against George Papadopoulos that could be the most politically damaging i think papadopoulos is the bigger story by any measure and that is because well man ford is a known figure. And certainly he has been hit with a lot of very major charges along with gates its papadopoulos who has acknowledged lying to the f. B. I. And that acknowledgement appears if we believe what were being told to relate to efforts to connect the Truck Campaign to the russians and so suddenly and very unexpectedly we have evidence that the Mueller Investigation has gone much further much deeper into the Truck Campaign and much deeper into the most challenging issues for the Truck Campaign that i think most people expected what hit today it was much bigger than than just one indictment coming down the combination of the man of four gates indictments twelve indictments a very major issues and the papadopoulos indictment or actually acknowledgment of the admission of wrongdoing and a conviction thats thats something that has caused republicans in congress to back off i think a lot of republican media folks to kind of pause for a moment and the word for the white house is that this day is really sort of not the white house back on its feet there theyre struggling to figure out you know how to respond and what their approach will be from here on out so im not sure that they feel the confidence that they felt a few days ago that they could see they could ride this up a clean up of a contaminated Fishing Community nigeria has finally started almost ten years off the two oil spills shells fifty five year old pipeline ruptured and spilled millions of liters of crude oil i might address from poets from the nine developed a. Jot of the most hated man gross one piece being prepared for restoration in Nigerias Delta. This used to be the breeding ground for fish and other marine creatures for months now these workers have been clearing sludge and other contaminants its about trying to mop up that oil which is which is free within the environment within the mangroves on the water but i think more important than that phase one is about quantifying and designing the more robust phase two cleanup which will be about physically agitating cleaning flushing and where necessary exit to treatment of the sediments mike was part of the United NationsEnvironment Team that reported on the extent of the pollution progress is slow after moving to top soil and the debris workers try to wash the oil from the mud and riverbed then the potent oil is from by the booms installed right over there as the oil float the process will then move up river this needs to be defeated in some four thousand factors of mongrel swarm in bordeaux one of the worst affected communities in the oil rich niger delta. Without a focus on cleaning or restoring only one thousand hectares in bordeaux after four years of difficult engagement with the local community we have to break down those barriers and walls. You know people just didnt trust each other and a lengthy process finally finally finally with lots of ups and downs years of inaction by all companies and government in addition to more spills only made the devastation worse but the bigger cleanup is still at the planning stage and those who fought for it arent entirely excited by the current work. Like. That would be known. Its optional operational going to land without first addressing the legit to make demands of what people. Are going to be you know rights so if you ask me what i do going to be i would tell you no but shall try strongly these concerns theres a clear determination to make this work the impact to a clean up is not just from the spews were talking about theres been lots of illegal activities around us because you know and all that and theres also one of the biggest concerns we have the illegal activities hes talking about include some of the pipelines and the theft of oil and that is still happening i mean i would use the border in Nigerias Delta a Pretrial Hearing on the detention of cambodias Opposition Leader kim sarkar has taken place so k.
