This is. Hello im citizen this is a news out of life from london coming out. So silly joke really that absolutely absolutely no solution denies any links with russia during last years Election Campaign off to his former National Security adviser agrees to cooperate with the f. B. I. Investigation. Finds it intensifies between rival groups in yemen as capital found with reports of at least. On protests in germany as the far right a. F. D. Party meets to choose its new leadership. In sport balsall on a dropped points but do stay top off the Spanish League was a messy bun score as boss for help to a teacher drop by celta vigo. The u. S. President donald trump has again insisted there was no collusion between his campaign and russia during the twenty sixteen president ial election he also tweeted that while he fired his National Security adviser for lying to the Vice President and the f. B. I. Might things actions well awful on saturday trump was asked about flynns decision to call for a with the f. B. I. Investigation as part of a deal has admitted he had lied about contacting the Russian Ambassador last december and said he was directed to do so by a Senior Member of chums Transition Team it pointed to be son in the person and this was a response. What was that showed no solution no killer just said absolutely with absolutely no clue so were very happy well see what happens thank you all very much was that fry a big because hes a National Security reporter with newsweek on joins us live now from washington d. C. Thanks very much for talking to is offensive i suppose my question should be could have tweet bring down the president was just mentioning that tweet just this morning and the u. S. Where he said i had to fire general flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the f. B. I. And thats him admitting that he knew it would appear that the very least it knocks one of the dominoes over that would be required to prove obstruction of justice him demonstrating dolly that the f. B. I. Had indeed done this interview with flynn and that flynt had lied in the interview in advance of his firing and then his request to jim comi that he dropped the investigation into flynn is at the very least a demonstration of motive is this the key really now finding out where the lines of law you feel like there is this the way you think the investigations going to go is not so much what was done but almost to deny that it happened well at the moment we dont have clear evidence of collusion specifically what it appears that the special counsel is looking into when it comes to obstruction of justice is the aftereffect what happened during the transition period and how the Administration Responded to this investigation and in fact this would be the beginning of that process of determining whether obstruction of justice occurred and that would be the most obvious charge that could bring down trump if it could be proven and i suppose everybodys asking who these key figures are despite somebody from gyra kirshner these senior officials within the Transition Team and what sort of names are coming out at the moment on your side of the pond. Well at the moment theres no clear confirmation for anyone besides jared cushion or but weve heard k. T. Mcfarland weve heard mike pence weve heard several different names tossed around at the moment what ill say is that motors investigation is doing an excellent job of keeping tight lipped on their progress and what theyre finding and so while we get speculation in the case of cushion or there seems to be confirmation because of some of the people in the room when flynn was having that conversation its really speculation at this point and also i think one of the interesting ones that seem to have come out on friday was this question of why its not paying as much talked about with George Papadopoulos that he indeed had to agree to be pots of some sort of why its nothing but it seems now the speculation is that mike flynn did the sign. Its certainly possible there was an interesting distinction between the plea agreements that papadopoulos and flynn signed flynns agreement specifically includes the idea of him working undercover with the f. B. I. As part of the investigation now the odd part about that is plea agreements or relevance to future actions and now that we all know that this plea agreements out there would be very hard for mike flynn to do anything undercover but the fact it was included in there could suggest that he was indeed working undercover at some point with a wire or it could just be a message to other people in snared in this investigation that they are doing whatever they can to try to find malfeasance you mentioned just before how how tightly the mother investigation had been so far and none of us seem to know whether he was going to plead guilty or not before he appeared in court on friday does that mean were really not quite clear which way the investigation is going to go and how quickly things could start to develop in the coming week. I think its absolutely right as a reporter its frustrating but i begrudgingly respect the fact that theyre doing a very good job of keeping quiet on the progress theyre making just as you pointed to the demonstration of not knowing which way flynn would plead although i think we have pretty clear indications that hes going to plead guilty is a clear sign that theyre building a case and theyre doing it without a cli and that the rest of us can speculate but that we dont really know until they decide to make something public frustrating that with an extraordinary time to bear reports washington d. C. Thanks very much for joining is that fry of banks meanwhile the u. S. Senate has approved one of president obamas main legislative goals the largest tax cuts and more than thirty years the bill slashes taxes for corporations along with the wealthy and yes will modest relief to most of the american taxpayer as but a Senate Committee has warned it will add one trillion dollars to the budget deficit takoma reports after last minute changes to appease some holdouts the tax bill passed by the narrowest of margins the user fifty one and the nays are forty nine. All republicans with one exception voted for the bill which their leader hailed as a tonic for the u. S. Economy we have an opportunity now to make america more competitive and to keep jobs from being shipped offshore and provide substantial relief to the middle class but democrats called it a bonanza for multinational corporations and the ultra rich while adding more than a trillion dollars to the u. S. Debt there is a trail of broken promise broken promises to working families and a mad dash to pass this bill and the American People understand this is the business fired up of continuing attacks on medicare and medicaid and social security. Most economists have been skeptical that the tax cuts will generate enough growth to make up for the loss in government revenue as the republicans have promised Public Opinion polls show that voters largely oppose the bill based on doubt it will amount to a net gain for most households but its passage would be the biggest republican legislative achievement since donald trump became president we got no democrat help but i think thats going to cost him very big in the election because basically they voted against tax cuts and i dont think politically its good to vote against tax cuts the senate and house which already passed its own versions of tax cuts must still agree on bridging the differences but trump said he looked forward to signing a final bill before Christmas Tom ackerman aljazeera washington the former yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh has called for a joint ceasefire between his supporters on the who say rebels and the Saudi Led Coalition at least forty people have been killed in sana over the past few days in fighting between the two sides as well. Gunshots reverberate through the ransack streets of yemens capital sanaa the civil strife that has brought misery to millions of people now the countrys former president Ali Abdullah Saleh is calling for dialogue with the Saudi Led Coalition forces while they need to lift the blockade and open the airports and allow food and medicine into the country we will open a new page for them for dialogue what is happening in yemen is enough. Sellers one time ally who. Has accused him of deliberately create an unrest to create divisions amongst the anti Saudi Led Coalition bloc who see says his groups focus was always to protect yemens internal Security Guard hospitals and mosques and the local machine tell every militia that you are actually suspicious and we have. Nothing good for you youre not heroes youre not youre not good people when. The mosque when he asked. Where you were then where you were then defending or doing anything you were nothing but arriving but analysts think outside pressure may have influence shift and allegiance yemen was already struggling before the war now the u. N. Calls it the largest humanitarian crisis in the world of its twenty five Million People twenty million rely on humanitarian assistance i think its very clear that he maybe wants to but one of his family members and power to share power with the current legitimate government so i think maybe it seems to me that they might be some collaboration between regional powers. And maybe the legitimate government to somehow overthrow the houthi is first and then have a sort of serious political talk the Saudi Led Coalition and. The blockade on all of yemens ports and airports last month after the who thieves fired a missile that may have targeted riyadh as a result seven to eight million yemenis are on the brink of famine the countries also suffering from a quarter epidemic which aid workers predict could hit one million sufferers by the end of the year now the conflict between salah supporters and whos the forces could mean more hardship for the people of yemen on a hoax that their picture sells for is a researcher at the Chatham House think tank he says the situation in yemen is likely to get worse before any deal may be reached what solace said today was in effect that he is splitting from his coalition with the who theses with this this rebel group that took over in september of two thousand and fourteen and hes telling the coalition lets have a ceasefire you guys dont get involved in this right now ill take care of business here in sanaa ill get rid of the who these and then we can work on a deal and what were hearing is that this is been worked out through back channels previous to to whats happened over the last few days and that there is a deal in principle the people are willing to partake and i think its almost certain that things are going to get worse before they get better what were hearing is that the gunmen have been pushed out of key positions in sun then theyre regrouping their massing forces on the outskirts of the capital youve got the various tribal groups who sits around the capital getting ready to fight with with so looks like things are going to get pretty serious in iran sun in the coming days and the question again then becomes how will the Saudi Led Coalition respond how will their allies on the ground respond and for now what seems to be happening is theyre not launching airstrikes and theyre not pushing on any of the front lines it seems theyre going to let this play out in sanaa and theyre going to see who comes out on top. Seven people have been killed in northeastern nigeria after two female suicide bombers attacked the markets its like happened in the town of beer in borno state one of the bombers is said to have detonated explosives as a Food Distribution center run by a local charity injuring dozens of us are committed to us has more from the capital. Rescue workers say out of the forty seven injured some of sustained serious injuries and there is likelihood that the death figure will rise from the seventeen that has been reported so far to say bomber suspected suicide bombers launched the attack at a busy market in butte and. Was largely spared but not completely spared by boko haram attacks but surrounding towns and villages have been attacked on several occasions by boko haram although boko haram did not claim responsibility for this attack Officials Say it bears the hallmarks or the signs of book or im attacks weve seen how they have increasingly over the last two or three months targeted soft places or other crowded places like places of worship markets and even schools in the latest attacks weve seen how they have killed more than fifty people in a mosque in the town of movie in northeastern nigeria when they were gathering for Early Morning prayers and so far there is no claim of responsibility and one important thing to note is that over the last two months or so we havent heard much from. Claiming responsibility as one Security Source is telling me that it could possibly be because of the intensified military action in the north east of nigeria targeting brought up positions and hideouts in the northeast.
