S. And weapons and fighters jets after saudi aramco plants were attacked last september dozens of u. S. Military personnel war will be rather reassigned when asked about the report President Donald Trump would not give specific answers well i dont want to talk about it but were doing some things will make it a lot of moves in the middle east and elsewhere were doing a lot of things all over the world militarily weve been taken advantage of all over the world our military and. In the sense that we are and this is nothing to do with saudi arabia this has to do with other countries frankly much more we have the most powerful military in the world. Heres a quick look at the recent moves by the white house in the middle east trump reportedly warned that if saudi arabia did not cut oil supplies he would not be able to stop the u. S. Congress from withdrawing troops from the kingdom that fall the plunge in oil prices in riyadhs price war with russia before that trump warned iran it would pay a heavy price if it attacked u. S. Troops stationed in iraq and in march the United States announced it was withdrawing hundreds of soldiers from 4 bases there us off as an assistant professor at the university of Nottingham Center for conflict security and terrorism is the Oil Price Plunge may have influenced trumps decision. Because of the oil price 1. 00 of the things thats happened is that anybody who wants to time whether its this who it is or its iranians and all refinery theyre going to waste their time because its not going to hurt and have the effect that he would have had many months ago i think also the point that saudi arabia has been with in a price war with russia and that has impacted american produces techs and hope to do says well very hard go into prices going into negative territory you know president it carries in in the u. S. And so there is a pressure on the regime the administration in washington to stop importing saudi and other oil and concentrate on domestically produced oil and i think finally that the the army is under stress with the missiles that they need to deploy and they have deployed additional missiles early this year to iraq to protect their bases after the the iranians fired several missiles at one of their bases and then the other thing we mustnt forget is that the group of virus has hit the u. S. Very hard economically and so what the president cant afford to do is cut back on the military but what he can do is cut back on military spending and having squadrons of aircraft Fighter Aircraft and thats part of this withdrawal as well as the patriot system based in saudis costing additional money that the u. S. And chinese negotiators have agreed to began the 1st phase have a trade deal signed in january tension between the super powers has been high over the handling of the pandemic earlier this week president i will trump said he had any agreement if china didnt stick to its terms of trade representative says the question discussions have gone well and both sides are trying to ensure that it works.

This Justice Department has dropped a case against president onil troops 1st National Security adviser former general Michael Flynn was fired in the early days of the champ a mystery after admitting he lied to the f. B. I. About contacts with russia alan fischer reports from washington. During the trump president ial campaign general Michael Flynn often led the chance of look around him to the republicans opponent Hillary Clinton yes thats right. He faced a very real prospect that would happen to him after he pled guilty of lying to the f. B. I. In recent weeks his new legal team insisted documents had been uncovered which suggested misconduct by f. B. I. Investigators now the Justice Department wants all charges dropped i didnt know that was happening at this moment i felt it was going to happen just by watching and seeing like everybody else is he was an innocent man he is a great gentleman he was targeted by the Obama Administration and he was targeted in order to try and take down a president and what theyve done is a disgrace and i hope a big price is going to be paid a big price should be printed. Flynns 24 days as National Security adviser is the shortest of a rein in the important government post he resigned when confronted with evidence he lied about his contacts with the Russian Ambassador to the us that made him vulnerable to blackmail he also lied about his law being for the turkish government and the white house said hed lied to the Vice President his resignation was an issue of trust. When an initially worked with the militant quietly into russian collusion with the Trump Campaign to win a lighter sentence but last year he changed lawyers and took a more aggressive approach to Court Proceedings even though hed already pled guilty the decision to drop the case has left many legal experts surprised it is appalling that somebody who actually pleaded guilty to 2 crimes is now walking away because the attorney general of the United States is deciding there isnt enough evidence to prosecute him i think that given the judges. Statements in this case all along judge Emmett Sullivan i think judge sullivan may have something to say about this sudden reversal going trump has hinted hes open to bringing Michael Flynn back into the administration a federal judge now has the final decision but it seems the legal case may be coming to an end the political fallout of the Justice Departments decision is only just beginning alan fischer aljazeera washington foreman has a case here as president ial hopeful joe biden of sexually assaulting her says he should drop out of the race tara reid alleges biden assaulted her in 1903 when she was a 29 real aide in his office while he was a senator biden says it never happened im not a criminal joe biden should take the polygraph what kind of precedence is that set for survivors of violence does that mean were presumed guilty and we all have to take polygraphs so i will take one after biden takes one.

State of georgia had been arrested and charged with the murder of an unarmed black man the family of a mob or he says he was out jogging when he was confronted by the 2 white men who say they thought he was a burglar the charges come after a public outcry over a lack of action more than 2 and a half months after the 25 year old was killed and gallacher has more from miami. This is a story which essentially this 35 2nd mobile phone video changed everything so we have to back up a bit to get things into context armand or bree was killed on february the 26 almost 2 and a half months ago and the case went to 3 different prosecutors 2 of whom recused themselves because one of these 2 men Gregory Mcmichael was a former Police Detective who worked into these offices and the 3rd prosecutor said this has to go to a grand jury then that mobile phone video that weve all seen at this point was released to the governor of georgia said this was horrific joe biden the former Vice President said it reminded him of a lynching and then youve got all sorts of protests going on in the state of georgia now our model bree was a regular runner a sportsman a former Football Player who was simply jogging through that local neighborhood but the father and son thought or believed he was a burglar so they both on themselves one with a shotgun the other one with a pistol and decided to go in hot pursuit after this 25 year old unarmed man who was wearing running clothes and you can see in the video at that armando bree tries to get around them tries to avoid them and then the shots are fired and he falls to the street and dies from 3 gunshot wounds allegedly fired by Travis Mcmichael the son of the former Police Detective and now across the political spectrum even up to President Trump this is being viewed as a very contentious case a lot of the prosecutors in this part of georgia are being criticized but they have now been arrested both father and son and charged with murder.
