U. A few days ago a look at. The kremlin and said that he was going to ask who is in d it supports the suggestion was that the present was reaching out d to the russians or d you know significant force the riot police spear troops in order to quell the protests by brute force and its raised the question will russia invades. That or russia where theres been a lot of speculation navy terms of people to follow the situation closely and that idea has been pretty written off putins unlike stu that the veteran population has actually warm image of russia and see them as friends and they fought so hard to oust look the shanker that if person came in and crushed the. Demonstrations by force and kept the percent go in office by force then the entire population with then suddenly turn against russia and putin and then youd end up with another ukraine situation which the kremlin doesnt want so because of these. Youve got macron and merkel d reaching out the e. U. Has been very aggressive they said theyve warned russia that there should be no overt or covert interference in the domestic policies under the threat of facing new renewed extremely quote unquote heavy sanctions if its seen to do that but i think its going to come back with exactly the same argument in fact and he did say explicitly to merkel this morning in that telephone that there should be no western interference in the domestic politics of. More of the e. U. All this talk of values and said ideals will not actually do much to help better russia in the short term even if that a russian did ask for help that programs the role that matter a few 1000000000. 00 a year they come with a lot of strings and theyre implemented very slowly the. d in order to help in this time of need and struggling economy crisis everything on the beach other is russia which will come in rapidly help with money with investments lots of russian businessmen would love to expand their businesses there and we do so very quickly and have some World Class Companies as well. Meanwhile the German Government has confirmed that its been in talks with the leader of the belorussian opposition so he cannot fled to lithuania soon after the election partys Daniel Hawkins looks at the lucas and goes main challenger. But the roof is at boiling point streets and squares are main packed with thousands of voices of discontent its people determined to be heard they feel the president just isnt listening they dont mind a new leader a symbol to unite them at a time of crisis for the lawyer to head off has become this symbol yet im not a politician my husband surrogate economically wanted to become the president of valorous hes now in prison for that almost unknown at the end of may the humble english teacher and interpreter to lead a quiet life until her husband said again to cut off ski a popular blogger president ial candidate was disqualified from the president ial race and thrown in jail in an act of protest she took up the opposition husbands name and announced she would stand she said herself that she didnt want power at one point telling supporters shes more comfortable frying cutlets in her role as stay at home mom you are just as good as i want to become president in order to restore justice in this country my Campaign Program won be familiar to everyone the main point is new honest and fair election. Took an oscar was just a woman with a grudge like many he couldnt predict the crowds would turn her into a symbol mask institutes in the project our constitution is not for women our society is not mature enough to vote for a woman. But as things got heated it seemed but i was ready perhaps not specifically for ticking off but for change yet despite condemning the results as false protests gaining traction she fled the country putting our family 1st then. I had probably remained the soft woman that i originally was i know that many will understand me many will condemn me and many will hate me but know this god forbid that you faced a choice that i had to face children are the most important thing that we have in life yet for some in the west she really is one step away from the presidency with the German Government already confirming its held talks with the exiled opposition figure now shes no longer the english teacher mother or weak woman as she described herself days later she claims shes ready to step up to the plate as head over transitional government. Yes i am prepared to act as a national leader. Others could have been in her shoes but as opposition figures fell out of the picture taken off her was left as the last woman standing the accidental candidate with her latest announcement shes upped the ante time will tell whether she can meet the expectations of those that want her to lead that change. The u. S. Senate Intelligence Committee has released the final part of a report on alleged russian meddling in the 2016 election the document accuses Vladimir Putin of orchestrating the hack of Democratic Party servers a claim the russian government has repeatedly dismissed or his killer comments now on the latest findings. It is the 5th and final installment from the senate Intelligence Committee regarding allegations of russia and trump and the 2016 elections now the report is over a 1000 pages long it takes us to quite extravagant places from the Ritz Carlton Hotel to the Miss Universe pageant and the ultimate conclusion of the report the long awaited conclusion is that russian president Vladimir Putin himself werder the hacking of the Democratic National committee server take a listen the Committee Found that russian president Vladimir Putin ordered the russian effort to hack competes networks and accounts affiliated with the Democratic Party and leak information damaging to Hillary Clinton and her campaign for president do they offer any proof well no they just simply state they have high confidence this is an Intelligence Community assertion that the russian government is responsible and that lattimer putin himself ordered the hacking of the d. N. C. And phrases like high confidence show up throughout the report for example the phrase likely is used 139 times furthermore the phrase almost certain shows up 23 times and the phrase seems shows up 39 times however despite all this high confidence and almost certainty the Russian Security services are blamed for the hacking of the d. N. C. Server take a listen to this passage from the report beginning of march 26th seen offices of the russian Main Intelligence Directorate the g o u successfully hacked competes networks belonging to the Democratic National committee and the Democratic CongressionalCampaign Committee and the email accounts of Clinton Campaign officials and employees including Campaign Chairman john podesta the report claims that Russian Security services in gauged in spirit fishing and this gave them. Access to the d n c server now at this point the main piece of evidence that they put forward to back up this claim is testimony from the tech firm known as crowd strike crowd strike youll recall was hired by d. N. C. Lawyers to look into the matter now crowd strike has come under a lot of scrutiny crowd strikes president ex f. B. I. Official shawn henry testified that they saw a quote activity that we believed was consistent with activity wed seen previously and had associated with the russian government in the same testimony and we also testified that crowd strike never had any evidence the data was actually exfiltrate it i. E. Stolen from the d. N. C. Servers but regardless and not surprisingly we see wiki leaks also thrown into the report wiki leaks activity sort on played a key role in the Russian Campaign and very likely knew it was assisting russian intelligence influence efforts from jill in a sanches long denied these allegations and said he is simply not a russian operative however the allegations persist Many Americans looking at this report as well as many people around the world have got to be asking themselves how much longer is this russia gate story going to keep going is this final installment really the last report or will they find a way to get it back into the news once again write or charles or tell gave us his that reaction to the intelligence report. Whether one or another country may be interfering in our elections i think people are tired of that frankly and tired of the endless investigation of the same issue 20 only to rush i have seen so far little evidence if not no evidence that that happened on the balance of probabilities again when i have to take away from looking to those 16 Hillary Clinton ran an atrocious campaign thats why she lost youve got to look at 16 and understand that Hillary Clinton went out of her way to offend a large percentage of the voting population she did not campaign effectively in key states she looks very ill on september 11th 2016 she was operating with her husband a corrupt foundation and has been since 1907 where hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars have gone missing their similar questions of all the joe biden and his family those are the big issues that are going to animate voters in this country.
