S. Fears that the mainland could soon be within reach indias aljazeera keep calm and tackle hard thats the advice of the head of the f. B. I. It is stuff after the u. S. Congress released a memo accusing the bureau of being biased against the president a republican document criticizes the f. B. I. And department of justice it says they abused their power while examining alleged ties between Donald TrumpsCampaign Team and russia the f. B. I. Had argued against its release saying that it had grave concerns the document contained what it called material commissions of fact democrats say the memo is aimed at special counsel robert millers investigation into the trunk campaigns alleged links to russia following the release the white house said that no changes will be made at the Justice Department a White House Correspondent kimberly how 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 he did not meet expectations president try to declassify 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 fact 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 bouquet of 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 russia probe from what many believe is a white house effort to derail the justice process kimberly held at aljazeera washington five out of washington and i was told as youd expect opinion on this memo is follow along partisan lines the democrats have written a rebuttal memo is that going to be released what might it say. Well the Top Republican in the house. Paul ryan has said that hed be willing to allow the release of that memo but that of course is also subject to declassification by the president ultimately it would be his decision to allow it to go ahead with or without redactions the democrats as weve said has said that this was such an incomplete and cherry picked accounting of the actual the actual Court Proceedings which allowed this kind of unmasking and surveillance of a former Campaign Adviser that once the public was would be allowed to see all of the underlying facts then it would be clear that this was just a red herring and just meant to distract i think the real question here now is what the implications are for the moeller investigation the president was asked point blank yesterday are you going to ask for the resignation of the Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein who is mullers a direct superior and somebody who is appointed by trump himself and he said you figure that one out but later the white house backed off on that and said that there will be no changes in the Justice Department but republicans on capitol hill are really. Hitting the draw of the drumbeats or are mounting to cut off the investigation to have the president just simply fire moeller and that of course is what the democrats are warning about saying that that would only precipitate a constitutional crisis where does all of this leave the relationship between the Intelligence Community that a puppet of justice and the government. Well as we heard the f. B. I. Director also appointed by President Trump basically said to him to his troops just carry on as you were this will not have any any kind of erosion of your authority or your ability to carry out your duties but the question here is whether in fact that down the line this will have some kind of some kind of. Resonance in fact some some people do former f. B. I. Agents have said that this this really makes makes the ranks the rank and field of the f. B. I. Whom the president of course says has done nothing wrong hes only implicated or accuse the top leadership that that their ability to carry out non political and objective investigations of criminal intent would be effective would definitely be affected well see so many thanks to talk about live in washington. The u. S. Military is modernizing its Nuclear Weapons arsenal in response to concerns that russia is expanding its capability the new pentagon strategy and as the obama era push to reduce americas stockpile defense secretary james massas says the u. S. Needs to see the world as it is not as it wishes it to be defense correspondent political hay and 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 attack 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. The 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 particularly when you 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 but in those days people seem to have an appreciation of what would what would be the result of a Nuclear Weapon it ever used i fear people have lost that sense of dread the u. S. Under President Trump is trying to improve its Nuclear Arsenal and the potential reasons to use it they say in order to improve the odds it wont have to political gain aljazeera washington and its going to you know from defense for such a grand on weapons questions the motivation of the u. S. For more Nuclear Weapons. Your assumption is that more is better. If you go back to the fundamentals of Nuclear Weapons and the apollo afterwards more isnt necessarily better you need to have a sufficiently ordinance to create credible deterrence against an atlas in my assessment and a lot of other the opposite of us the ones that criticize the reason. Is that the do you want us has a sufficient muscle to establish a relatively robust occurence against the remains of the look of ours including russia and china so i see the concerns about expansion creating wrists miscalculation of actually increasing belligerence if you like an early will incentivizing us initiation to think about the use of the weapons when actually the fundamental law of the words aligning Death Threats with things rather than actual deployment so all in all the one still in deficit right now are us. Among the proponents or is it your initiative is that the us in relative terms lacks parity or balance if you like with russia as the i meant all nonstrategic on lowing yield applicable to weapons which are poised across the divide you are going to get or the russians are the ones about two thousand on nonstrategic look towards you for the fall of us.
