General flynn i can tell you that right now the new charges are set to be dropped against Donald Trumps former advisor Michael Flynn who admitted lying to the f. B. I. About his russia contacts and more toxic gas is emitted from a Chemical Plant in india where an early age killed 11 and put hundreds in hospital.

K. The bank of england expects economic output to shrink 14 percent this year. Unemployment would be up to 8 percent the European Union early awarded is bracing for a similar slump 7. 4 percent there interesting that china is reporting a different picture it says export rose in april for the 1st time this year for an office and many factories reopened the u. S. Though bracing for more bad news on friday when the overall unemployment figure is released a White House Correspondent kimberly how could explains one in 5 americans filing for Unemployment Insurance since march what we have now 33000000. 00 and climbing really this is a nation that is bracing for an historic Unemployment Rate because essentially all of the jobs that we saw it really added to the u. S. Economy in the last decade have now been wiped out centrally a 20 percent Unemployment Rate and you have to remember thats astonishing given the fact that it was just weeks ago 3. 5 percent previously which was a 50 year low on to other news in the u. S. Is reportedly removing Patriot Missile systems and other military assets from saudi arabia as it winds down a military build out the began as tensions with iran flat out last year this is all coming from the wall street journal among the facilities affected will be Saudi Oil Installations remember the u. S. Deployed more assets there after an attack on Saudi Aramco Oil plants last september dozens of u. S. Military personnel will also be reassigned well when asked about the report President Donald Trump would not be drawn on specifics what i 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 were 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 weve spent 1. 00 trillion dollars since ive been here more than that 1. 00 trillion dollars on a military that we now have the Strongest Military weve ever had we have the best equipment the best missiles planes the best of everything. Were authorizing and just authorized ships new ships being built theyre all being built in the United States and theyre beauties we have the best brains in the world by far and we have some brains being built and we go around and protect other countries and other countries dont respect us like they should in some cases they dont even like us and those days are over those days are over so things are moving. And im not putting saudi on that thing but we are doing certain things that will be positive for us and i think very positive for them too weve got Samuel Romani with us now middle east analyst and regular contributor to the Washington Post and Foreign Policy on skype from toronto to the sami nice to have you with us again the president there apparently not talking about it but still obviously talking about how strong he perceives the u. S. Military to be if there is a drawdown and saudi arabia whats your read on it. I think the drive demand is largely related to the ongoing saturn or price war with russia which indirectly relates us shale gas over the last several weeks is not a lot of pressure from republicans and its to eventually produce that on company a strong reaction against say ship i think the secondary back youre screwed be the us needs you know we dont whine were divorced his words egypts immigration as the tensions escalate with china and also the belief that iran is not something you are back as in syria is receiving your israeli air strikes its a Paramilitary Forces in iraq into fracture and also deals with the combining back of sanctions but i would be very equal rights were the primary factor and then just like china and the weakness of the rand as secondary and tertiary that youre just kind of like in this new decision does it speak to any fracture in the u. S. The relationship obviously not a major one but still. A yes absolutely i think it does burn center realign amec between the ease of congress and the white house and saudi arabia so the threat 20 he. Gradually increase in Congress Members poll democrats and republican Lindsey Graham particular criticize them as having one yeah which require trying to you use a president ial veto where the congress would normally be curbing that after the show the murder on terror of any result further if i can describe saudi arabia so but the light has continued and then it so now i think you know the camp is not the things that. I mean by name and say its but many other countries this is a realignment between the way he has and he definitely had ranges on and react and i guess we also perhaps shouldnt read it as a complete cooling on the idea of any conflict in iran because well Congress Passed a bill which would have limited Donald Trumps ability to attack iran but hes going to veto that anyways so that still hangs over everything it feels like. I definitely i think the democrats certainly dont want any kind of military escalation of the iran because theyre sooner joe biden where when and where he wants you really southwest i want to find a version of the you know way i mean back in order so they certainly have a clear interest in not allowing that to happen i think there is a grave risk that i competition with iran still i mean member cases recently as and a little over a month ago there was the cant find out british and American Forces in iraq that in iran continue to make incursions in the north you have actually to miss out strikes into saudi arabia if you think possible and they can drive u. S. Forces so erratic and yet you cant exactly what are the impression there is a fraction where the u. S. Could be dragnets out i think that china doesnt want to spend the time or interaction with iran and the same time you want to send a strong message that youre be at ease to comply and you early this year or production major attack in the near future it may have a bar angel rather than a complete all around tragic so well romani always a pleasure talking to you thanks for joining us i think youre right now forces loyal to the libyan warlord they found after have shelled central tripoli resulting in explosions near the turkish and italian embassies and hotel after hes been trying to seize the capital for more than one year he had also issued a warning to turkey on thursday about its support for the un recognized government the one which after is fighting to defeat more with my. Head in tripoli now and this is the key isnt it the fact that this attack has happened close to the turkish embassy. Will come alone not only the embassy but the targeted area which is a very close to the city center its called zoe demand the word civil or Diplomatic Mission headquarters are located and also a courthouse and a public bar a public excuse me a public park to the Police Officers were killed along with other civilian a passer by were killed by the explosions caused by. A grad rocket launch had to by forces loyal to the warlord. And civil other civilians that one day now the people in the residential areas nearby are still living in a state of panic state of fear the cannot guarantee that more rockets by have to his forces be targeting get their areas over night and tripoli. And the recognized foreign minister mohammed say yellow contacted both the italian ambassador to check on them he also stated that the targeting of that residential area which is very close to the headquarters of the diplomatic or the embassies is a violation of the into the national and International Humanitarian law now as as you know that have been threatening to. Target more areas and as you know that the government of National Accord is accusing forces of committing war crimes by targeting get residential areas come out without the wattenberg that update on the situation in tripoli thank you my mood. Now the u. S. Justice department has asked a judge to drop criminal charges against Donald Trumps former National Security advisor Michael Flynn it follows mounting pressure from the president and his political allies the case against flynn was one of the most high profile to come out of a special counsel robert matters investigation into dealings between tribes in a circle and russia remember in 2017 flynn admitted lying to the f. B. I. About his interactions with russias u. S. Ambassador but has since tried to withdraw that guilty plea. Its never been anything like this in the history of our country what they did what the Obama Administration did is unprecedented never happened never happened a thing like this is never happened before the history of our country and i hope a lot of people are going to pay a big price because theyre just as crooked people theyre scum and i say it a lot theyre scum the human scum should never of happened in this country.
