Im far is small in doha our top sports story pictures are released of the joint north and south Korean Hockey Team training together ahead of a display of unity at their winter olympic games. A low our top story a classified republican memo that alleges f. B. I. Bias against President Trump has been released by the republican led House Intelligence Panel this after the white house declassify the documents it was commissioned by republican devon unas who heads the House Intelligence Committee and was part of the Trump Campaign the memo says an f. B. I. Official admitted that a dossier on trunk compiled by a former british agent was an essential part of an application for surveillance of a court of page last march but it wasnt disclosed that the Democratic Party paid for the dossier democrats say the memo is an attempt to derail special counsel robert well as. Best occasion into the Trump Campaigns links to russia will the u. S. President attack the leadership of the f. B. I. Accusing the agency of being biased against him while investigating his alleged links to russia he tweeted the top leadership investigations of the f. B. I. And the Justice Department of politicized the sacred investigative process in favor of democrats and against republicans something which would have been unthinkable just a short time ago rank and file are great people and i want house correspondent kelly joins me live and so can really we are now getting more and more information about the contents of the memo what have you been hearing about it whats been the reaction there. Well the reaction has been so overwhelming marianne that initially many reporters werent even able to look at the memo when it went live on the house intelligence website essentially it crashed for many including myself and they we relied sort of on one another within the White House Briefing room to take a look at it that is the level of intensity and interest in washington and around the United States right now with regard to this memo now some of it we already knew but there is that sort of one element that many republicans are reacting to saying this is conclusive proof that they believe the Obama White House at its highest levels abused u. S. Intelligence to weaponize it essentially against a political opponent namely donald trump the element that people seem to be focusing on that you touched on briefly at the start of this so is the revelation by the then Deputy Director Andrew Mccabe before the House Intelligence Committee that in fact when obtaining a surveillance warrant the crux of that evidence for that warrant on carter page a trump aide was in fact a democratic funded dossier that seems to be what most people are focusing on and this is something that just a short time ago the president reacted to in the oval office i think the memo i think its terrible you want to know the truth i think its a disgrace whats going on in this country i think its a disgrace the memo was sent to congress it was declassified congress will do whatever theyre going to do but 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. A lot of people should be ashamed of themselves and much worse than that so i sent it over to congress they will do what they are going to do whatever they do is find it was declassified and lets see what happens. Kimberly this the release of this memo throws up many different issues around Civil Liberties and privacy and the whole process of obtaining conversations between us citizens but fundamentally all goes back to the same thing which is the investigation by special counsel Robert Muller into alleged links between the campaign and russia what are likely what are we likely to see happen with that now. Well democrats are outraged because what they essentially saying is that this is just been one well orchestrated and what theyre saying is a shameful effort to discredit the Robert Mueller investigation into accusations of not only russian meddling in the twenty six u. S. Election but also whether or not there was collusion between the president ial campaign and russia the top democrat on the House Intelligence Committee points to the fact that they two democrats on that committee authored their own intelligence memo and that it was not permitted to be released by republicans on the House Intelligence Committee so theyre saying when youre talking about bias what about the bias at the Committee Level they say that this is a transparent effort to suppress the full truth of highly classified information so reaction to this maryam has been very much partisan but democrat or other republicans are arguing that this is a legitimate National Security concern the fact that they believe they have conclusive proof that when it comes to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that in fact what should be a highly nationally secure process was abused and it was abused at the highest levels of government against political opponents and as you say this fierce reaction we see both parties very much trying to seize on the narrative to trump and his supporters its about there being a vendetta a very personal and vicious conspiracy against him for the democrats its about the fact that trump is seizing on this to try and discredit what is a legitimate and justified investigation by robot when it is it likely to affect the investigation in any way. Oh you know my my personal belief in that is held by a lot of Law Enforcement officials that this investigation will continue the people conducting it are in fact professionals and we should point out some of this memo references to f. B. I. Rather an f. B. I. Agent as well as an f. B. I. Lawyer who were caught sending back and forth disparaging tacks about donald trump but it is noted that they were reassigned before it even was made public so thats one element of this that many people point to but at the same time it appears that the. Necessary protocols within that investigation were followed to ensure the integrity of the investigation so there is all likelihood that this will proceed unaffected still some democrats are calling for there to be Bipartisan Legislation to ensure that that process maintains the integrity it is protected so that it cannot be harmed by any side politically in terms of advancing their own political interests all right well thank you very much kimberly how it could bring us over the latest on that from the white house on our air as of trying to un report which shows the saudi Like Coalition but as the greatest responsibility for the deaths of dozens of children in yemen last summer it says coalition as strikes were responsible for the killing of sixty eight children and the wounding of six others from july to september the report found that would try and teach a Coalition Raids every day some targeting schools and harms points the finger at rebels blaming them for the deaths of eighteen children and for the wounding of twenty nine. June has this report. The u. N.

N. Blames truthy rebels for the deaths of eighteen children and wounding twenty nine others the u. N.
