This is aljazeera. Well im Adrian Finnigan this is that he is a live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes investigation into donald trump and his ties to russia move closer to the oval office. The United Nations sends an s. O. S. To the world asking for billions of dollars to help communities destroyed by conflict. Pope francis asks the hinge of people for forgiveness for what theyve gone through and for the worlds indifference. And the results are in everything you need to know about fridays draw for russia twenty eighty. U. S. President Donald Trumps former National Security adviser has pleaded guilty to lying to the f. B. I. About his contacts with russia Michael Flynn admitted that his actions were wrong but said the Senior Member of trumps Transition Team and asked him to reach out to russias ambassador to the United States hes now cooperating with the f. B. I. Investigation into alleged russian meddling in last years u. S. Election White House Correspondent kimberly helka reports. Arriving at federal court in washington Michael Flynn ignored shouted questions by reporters. Inside moments later the former National Security adviser to President Donald Trump pled guilty to lying to the f. B. I. Court documents show the charges against flynn stem from his lying about efforts to obtain advance knowledge of how foreign governments might vote on a u. N. Security Council Resolution about israel as well as phone conversations flynn had before tribe was even sworn in as president with the former Russian Ambassador to the United States sergei kiss lee ak. Flynn is said to have suggested to kiss liane sanctions put in place against russia by the Obama White House maybe dropped once trump was sworn in and they did not discuss anything having to do with the United States decision to expel diplomats or or impose a censure against russia flints lies to the Vice President about that phone call led to his dismissal after just three weeks in office in a statement trumps lawyer said flynt false claims mirror the false statements to white house officials which resulted in his resignation in february of this year nothing about the guilty plea or the charge implicates anyone other than mr flynn but his plea in fact may directly tie the oval office to the investigation by special counsel Robert Muller and whether or not the Trump Campaign worked with russia this suggests that mr flynt has more information to provide about other things the white house has lied about other things the president himself may have lied about and whether or not the white house including the president himself colluded with russia according to the former f. B. I. Director james comey trump once asked him to drop the case against flynn and despite claims by the president s lawyer flynns cooperation with the f. B. I. Probe shows that most investigation is ask. Could lead to charges against an even bigger target including the president of the United States kimberly helped get aljazeera washington. Michael flynn is the first member of the trumpet ministration so far to be charged as part of rubber bullets investigation in october a former Campaign AideGeorge Papadopoulos pleaded guilty to making false statements to f. B. I. Agents regarding his contacts with russia trumps former Campaign Manager paul man a photo of his deputy were also accused of conspiring to defraud the u. S. In dealings with ukraine a charge that arose from his investigation they both pleaded not guilty lets go live to washington was a serious russell and jordan is that what exactly has flynn pleaded guilty to. Well he simply has pleaded guilty to lying to the f. B. I. When they interviewed him about his alleged contacts with russian officials and according to the information thats the legal document that was entered in court on friday mr flynn agreed that he lied to the f. B. I. One about his conversation with the then ambassador from russia to the United States sergei his about efforts to try to to rail a u. N. Security Council Resolution that was going to chastise israel for continuing to build build settlements in the occupied west bank mr flynt told the f. B. I. They never had that conversation in court on friday mr flynn admitted that he did do just that he also admitted that he was not forthcoming about his conversations with other people within the then tromp Transition Team the number of advisors who were helping donald trump get ready to become the president back on january twentieth so thats all that he pleaded guilty to that does not mean however that Michael Flynn is off the hook and that hes only facing a possible prison sentence for this one charge. This is basically the governments way of trying to make certain that he reveals everything he knows or else he could face much more serious charges in connection with a number of things that he allegedly was doing while he was advised in the Trump Campaign and then while he was for just twenty four days that security advisor all right so as we heard the white house is trying to play this down where does this leave the white investigation. Well basically Michael Flynn of the four people who have been brought in and who have agreed to plead guilty to something he probably has according to legal experts the most information although paul man of fort may well be a close second in terms of what he knew about what other people within donald trump circle were doing about trying to extend influence and build ties with russia as well as be involved in other matters of Foreign Policy before they actually came into office and so the real test for Robert Muller and the other members of the special counsel team will be to get as much detail much information that can be corroborated by multiple sources and this some say could actually reach as far as into the oval office of course this is an investigation that has been ongoing for a number of months and so i think its going to be some time before we actually find out just exactly how big this all of this activity actually was up until now adrian what we have had is a number of leaks about what allegedly has been happening but nothing confirmed until it goes before a federal judge well have more on the investigation is donald trump and his ties to russia a little later in the news for the moment roslyn jordan washington many thanks.

Is the deputy United Nations director of Human Rights Watch she says the u. N. Needs to address the causes of conflict instead of just asking for more aid. Its a really high number in such a Political Climate where we see people increasingly looking inward in big donor countries like the u. S. And the u. K. People arent willing to pay they are interested in focusing on things close to home instead of crises and conflict and suffering far away aid is absolutely essential but its not enough and its just treating the symptoms rather than the disease itself which are these manmade problems in yemen you have a blockade in south sudan you have a grinding conflict that is included war crimes and those are the issues that need to be solved by World Leaders including those here in new york at the Security Council they need to take Decisive Action on a crisis like myanmar were still waiting for the un to even pass a single security Council Resolution on the crisis thats atrocious pope francis has used the word wrote him for the first time on his trip to asia well missing refugees from the community in bangladesh more than six hundred twenty thousand of them fled me and since august the pope has advised against saying the word on his visit to me and earlier in the week for fear of a backlash by hardline buddhist groups structured reports.
