Think its a disgrace the f. B. I. Stands accused of abuse of power in a memo which is dividing washington and asks more questions about the relationship between russia and the Trump Campaign plus. Protests in kenya after another arrest over the mock inauguration of Opposition Leader. Also. You know that i cant do that thats now legal. The father of three sexually abused girls lunges a convicted paedophile. And. Im stuck fast reporting from about lost for additions and a rapidly disappearing unique culture of the people. A memo criticizing the f. B. I. s investigation into raw. Meddling in the twenty sixteen president ial election has been released after it was declassified by u. S. President donald trump it was written by republicans and says the f. B. I. And the department of justice abused their power and showed onto trump bias when investigating alleged ties between his campaign and the kremlin the f. B. I. Had argued against its release saying it has grave concerns the document contains what it called material admissions of fact in a statement the agencys director Christopher Ray told his staff he stands by them democrats say the memo is aimed at the wearing special counsel Robert Mullers investigation into the trunk campaigns alleged links to russia our White House CorrespondentKimberly Hauck and two reports. Republicans promised a bombshell that would destroy any idea the Trump Campaign colluded with the russian government during the twenty sixteen president ial election but in the end it did not meet expectations President Trump declassified the memo written by Top Republicans allowing for its public release even against the advice of his own f. B. I. Director and the u. S. Justice department the four page report which is part of a larger intelligence document argues f. B. I. Investigators looking into alleged truck ties to russia hit the facts some of their research was funded by Democratic Party sources it also claims the entire investigation was biased against donald trump from the beginning and that some agents expressed views privately and i think its a disgrace whats happening in our country and when you look at that and you see that and so many other things whats going on. Lot of people should be ashamed of themselves but democrats argue the memo is simply a summary of republican talking points based on an accuracies House Democratic leader nancy pelosi says its all part of a plan to distract americans from. The russia investigation led by special counsel Robert Muller and alleged campaign ties to president Vladimir Putins government in a statement she said President Trump has surrendered his constitutional responsibility as commander in chief by releasing highly classified and distorted intelligence by not protecting intelligence sources and methods he just sent his friend putin a book a trump himself made the argument on twitter prior to the memos release that leadership at the f. B. I. And Justice Department are out to get him some analysts believe thats more evidence trump is actively obstructing the investigation if you look at the words out of mr trumps own mouth the very incriminating he said repeatedly i need somebody in the Justice Department who will protect me its doubtful the memos released will change Public Opinion about the russia investigation still there is now an effort by some democrats and republicans to literally protect the russian probe from what many believe is a white house effort to derail the justice process kimberly held at aljazeera washington ok lets bring in our first year in washington d. C. As we heard kelly mention there this was promised to be a big thing but it doesnt seem to have delivered whats being said about this memo and who singing it. Well at this time in this time as you would expect the reaction has been very polarized very partisan and the republicans who like donald trump are saying this proves that the militant bears the geisha was flawed from the start there was a political element to it this was about democrats settling scores and trying to win an election that they should never have lost the democrats are saying this is merely a republican talking points there is no substantial substance to their allegations they have taken a forty page fice a document boiled it down into four pages and left syrian facts and context but there are two interesting things to note first of all john mccain who was a republican president ial candidate has said that he thinks if you start attacking the f. B. I. And the Justice Department all you are doing is handing when to Vladimir Putins russia almost echoing the democrats in this and then from trey gowdy who is one of those who helped compile this document while he was very interesting in the back of your mind youre probably thinking hold on a second i know that name he is the republican congressman who organized a number of hearings on the attack on the benghazi compound in libya which put Hillary Clinton very much on the sport and he was considered to be a partisan republican at that point he says this report does nothing to undermine the Robert Miller investigation so while you can never make any assumptions particularly with this white house and this president for the time being at least it would appear that Rod Rosenstein whos the Deputy Attorney general the man who set the Robert Miller investigation and train is safe in his position for the moment and that means also that the Robert Miller investigation will continue but you can only see that with a degree of certainty very small degree of certainty at this time in this city allan for now thanks very much indeed for more on the story were going to be joined by aaron call hes written several books on the state of the union hes also director of debates at the university of michigan hes joining us from ann arbor thank you very much indeed for your time what do you think the impact if any is going to be on the miller investigation. You know i dont think theres going to be a major impact i think that the was a little bit oversold and the you know the fallacious details and then once the public got to see the many today i dont think that you know its going to probably helped president from space and theyre going to have some questions but the general public independent i dont think theyre going to be persuaded very much by it and so i dont think its going to impact the more investigation all that much in the end. The consensus at the moment seems to be that Robert Muller and Deputy Attorney general rosenstein for now are safe do you think that thats going to be the case in the future in the immediate future i mean there is some protection or more investigation especially in the senate you know you mentioned that or john mccain there are some other moderate republicans in the senate the very much believe that the investigation be allowed to continue trade gouty from the guy the investigation also is a supportive role or so they built up a lot of capital and i dont think that theres a lot of you know theres some inertia right now but not enough to derail the investigation but with President Trump you never know when hes subject to whims and twitter and all that but right now i think there is a cure is very tough to make predictions for the very the for the future in the coming weeks and months the Top Administration has said that the president while had indicated he was willing to be interviewed at least in part by the investigation do you think the timing of this memo is significant in relation to that. I do because thats the something that was resolved the next two or three weeks and i think president s from an administration is trying to increase leverage to for that interview whether he can be written responses were they can narrow the scope limit the amount of time he has to testify and so that its a lot of hardball going back and or parts in terms of that and i think its i mean its very convenient and also with rosenstein approve any five memos an extension is Going Forward and so even with the pressure on him now if he has to do that in the future theres going to be a lot of pressure on him you know least cause him to think twice and so its just a lot of you know politics in pressure on those involved and we may not the impact of that for a little bit of all the players that are involved in this the republicans the democrats the day o. J. Department of justice the f. B. I. Federal bureau of investigation whos going to be hurt most by this. You may think Rod Rosenstein is you know his. Grip on the administration on the investigation you know is certainly hurt by this because hes an appointee and in theory president could get rid of him at any time and you know the memos put out and it shows that when he had to extend the flies a warrant on a card page it kind of undermines that rationale and so you know i dont think that the President Trump is going after Robert Muller directly but rosenstein is the boss. Of Robert Muller and so i think hes probably most vulnerable in that if president from tried to exalt somebody new head of the investigation and so many more favorable for him that could eventually cloud all in the crosshairs and so i think the directly rosenstein who would be most because he had to approve all those kinds of warrants are really interesting to get your point of view on this one call thank you very much indeed. Thank you great to be here and hear you on reports accuse the Saudi Led Coalition in yemen of killing dozens of children in airstrikes last year the study focused on the period between july and september and says the saudis bear the greatest responsibility for the deaths mohamed reports. The u. N. Report obtained by a dizzy at a says the Saudi Led Coalition was responsible for killing sixty eight children and wounding thirty six others from july to september and found there were at least thirty Coalition Air raids every day some targeting schools and homes as well as the saudis the u. N. Blames truthy rebels for the deaths of eighteen children and wounding twenty nine others the u. N. Describes whats going on in yemen as the worst manmade humanitarian crisis in the world and the conflict is making an already dire situation even worse its not just affecting to modernise affecting our everyone in its making seventy five percent of the population so our concern is that as long as it continues we are going to see more and more. Secure were also going to see more and more nigeria needs and rights as well. The United NationsChildrens Fund also known as unicef says more than five thousand children have been killed or injured in the war an average of five children a day since the conflict escalated in march two thousand and fifteen unicef also says that more than eleven million children are in need of humanitarian assistance and nearly two million children are suffering from acute malnutrition. Recent outbreaks of diptheria following the worlds worst cholera epidemic have further threatened more young lives aid workers say the International Community must do more to stop the conflict it is astounding to me that we have a United NationsSecurity Council that has not commented on yemen in now more than seven months that the scale of suffering in yemen is incomparable and we have twenty two Million People in need beaking to families who are fleeing their homes because of violence in constructing houses out of plastic bags with a political solution looking unlikely any time soon many worry that already suffering children will be exposed to even more violence and trauma.

The u. S. Military says its going to modernize its Nuclear Weapons arsenal in response to concerns over russias expansion of its capability the new Nuclear Strategy on veiled by the pentagon and the obama era push to reduce americas stockpile defense secretary james mattis says the u. S. Needs to see the world as it is not as it wishes it to be a defense correspondent particle hand reports from washington. U. S. President donald trump never criticizes russian president Vladimir Putin but the pentagon is doing just that moscow retains a large stockpile of nonstrategic Nuclear Weapons and continues to modernize those as well as its Strategic Systems this report says aggression from russia concerns about china and north korea and potentially iran are the reasons the u. S. Needs to modernize its Nuclear Weapons and its changing the wording on when it could use them saying the u. S. Could use Nuclear Weapons in extreme circumstances to defend the vital interests of the u. S. Whats new is they added this line extreme circumstances could include significant non nuclear strategic attacks the military was asked to clarify what that means it would that also involve the employment of biological weapons against the Us Population or allies would involve the use of chemical weapons against our people would involve a conventional task in other parts of the world the context in which an attack occurred on the United States or allies would be how we would evaluate the appropriate response the plan also calls for modernizing the Nuclear Arsenal thats something the last administration wanted to do and at the time they said it was going to cost more than a trillion dollars over thirty years this plan would undoubtedly be even more expensive and that has not been something that congress has been really willing to fund at this point. U. S. Also wants to build a new kind of weapon a Nuclear Warhead with less impact but critics say that could make nuclear war more likely they are literally having weapons that give the president more options to start a nuclear war and that is becoming dangerous quickly we have this president who we all know is impetuous irrational and not always unsound mind recently three high ranking former diplomats went to capitol hill with the warning that the Massive Destructive force of a Nuclear Weapon was no longer appreciated or even feared by some in those days people seem to have an appreciation of what would what would be the result of a Nuclear Weapon never ever used i fear people have lost that sense of dread the u.

S. State Department Official simon lim us says the renewed emphasis on these types of weapons is troubling. I have no doubt that the professionals at the department of Energy Department of defense in the state department who analyzed those threats in developing the Nuclear Posture review had very good and Important Information where i differ with the final product that was rolled out the south after noon isnt. Case that low yield Nuclear Weapons have any stabilizing or valuable role to play in todays todays threat context in fact i would make the opposite case that there is no real such thing as a surgical Nuclear Strike on a potential enemy i also have observed that over the last ten to twenty years there is some very strong and compelling can conventional alternatives to a potential Nuclear Strike so this renewed emphasis on these types of weapons is troubling and does not leave our allies i think in a very strong position and i dont see how it compels china whose threat i think is somewhat overstated and certainly russia to alter their calculus i United Nations report is accuse north korea nearly two hundred Million Dollars last year by exporting bond commodities around the world accused of supplying weapons to syria and myanmar exporting coal to a number of Asian Countries and of getting help to set up front businesses and Bank Accounts across the world under un sanctions north koreas forbidden to export coal iran led textiles or seafood the sanctions are designed to limit funding for its nuclear program.
