of robert muller and so i think he's probably most vulnerable in that if president from tried to install somebody do a head of the investigation so the more favorable for him that that could eventually put them all in the crosshairs and so i think the directly rosenstein who would be most because he had to approve all those lies warrants. the u.s. military says it will modernize its nuclear weapons arsenal in response to concerns of a russia's expansion of its capability the new strategy unveiled by the pentagon and the obama era push to reduce america's stockpile defense secretary james mattis says the u.s. needs to see the world as it is not as it wishes it to be a defense correspondent particle hain has more from washington. u.s. president donald trump never criticizes russian president vladimir putin but the pentagon is doing just that moscow retains a large stockpile of non-strategic nuclear weapons and continues to modernize those as well as its strategic systems this report says aggression from russia concerns about china and north korea and potentially iran are the reasons the u.

special counsel robert muller says an attempt was made to sway public opinion and to promote republican donald trump's campaign ahead of his democratic rival hillary clinton did it have an impact on the election result trump has tweeted it did not we'll find out what i guess think in a moment but first rose jordan with this report. the munich security conference often focuses on weapons of mass destruction regional war and the threat from rogue nations and groups but at this year's meeting the conflict is between russia and the us which is now and died thirteen russian citizens for allegedly interfering in the two thousand and sixteen presidential race the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov called the indictments irrelevant. so until we hear the facts everything else is just blather the indictment says otherwise the defendants allegedly were promoting donald trump's candidacy and undermining that of his democratic rival hillary clinton. by one example an anti trump protest march in new york shortly after his election allegedly organized by the defendants and not by ordinary american

director robert muller but the president does have his personal lawyer ty cobb who was says that he has been working with the special investigation trying to provide as much cooperation as possible even though mr cobb insists that there is nothing that the u.s. president has done wrong in this case in a sense essentially calling this nothing more than a fishing expedition but the fact that this investigation is still underway the fact that in recent months the president has. been intimidated that perhaps there should be a need to get rid of mr moller as the lead of this investigation has raised a lot of speculation not just here in washington but across the country that perhaps the administration has something to be worried about and in fact is trying to make this investigation go away however there has been considerable pushback from players on capitol hill suggesting that if the administration pushed to get rid of robert muller at the head of this investigation that there would be severe political backlash against president donald trump so this is a matter that is very much worrisome

president not to fire special counsel robert muller they say he must be allowed to investigate alleged russian meddling in the two thousand and sixteen presidential election and a series of tweets over the weekend trump accuse the f.b.i. leadership of lies corruption and leaking information thousands of protesters have rallied again in brazil to denounce the killing of a politician who was an outspoken critic of police violence rio de janeiro councillor mariani franco was shot dead on wednesday and what investigators are treating as a targeted assassination. those are the headlines on al-jazeera do stay with us inside story is coming up next thank you for watching. reasons dominated russian politics for eighteen the is now he's going to be elected president for another six at a time when relations with the us a compared to the cold war and moscow is accused of poisoning a spy in britain what do russian voters expect from them this is inside story.

muller's investigation a white house correspondent kimberly reports. republicans promised a bombshell that would destroy any idea the trump campaign colluded with the russian government during the twenty sixteen presidential election but in the end he did not meet expectations president trying to declassify the memo written by top republicans allowing for its public release even against the advice of his own f.b.i. director and the u.s. justice department. the four page report which is part of a larger intelligence document argues f.b.i. investigators looking into alleged truck ties to russia hit the fact some of their research was funded by democratic party sources it also claims the entire investigation was biased against donald trump from the beginning and that some agents expressed views privately and i think it's a disgrace what's happening in our country and when you look at that and you see that and so many other things what's going on a lot of people should be ashamed of themselves but democrats argue the memo is simply a summary of republican

special counsel robert muller is about to go before congress to answer questions about his investigation into russian interference in the 2016 presidential election let's take you to these live pictures coming in from capitol hill you can see there robert mala the former special investigator. making his way to his seat where he will shortly we understand after some introductory speeches be addressing members of the congress then the house judiciary committee he's got 2 hearings today well this all comes about 3 months since he handed in. his report on the nearly 2 year probe ended with moloch concluding russia did interfere in the 2016 u.s. presidential election during a may press conference maher added that while the report does not conclude president donald trump committed a crime it also does not exonerate him president trump is tweeting meanwhile about mother's testimony even before it begins here's a little bit of what he's been saying so far so democrats and others can illegally fabricate a crime trying pinning it on a very innocent president and when he fights back against this il

about his contacts with russia the charges were brought by robert muller as part of his investigation into alleged russian meddling in last year's u.s. election friend says he was asked to contact russian officials by a senior member of trump's transition team reported to be jarrad cushion or our white house correspondent kimberly hellcat reports. a ride to get 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. that's knowledge of how foreign governments might vote on a u.n. security council resolution about israel as well as phone conversations flynn had before trump was even sworn in as president with the former russian ambassador to the united states surrogate kislyak flynn is said to have suggested to kiss leon sanctions put in place against russia by the obama white house may be dropped once trump was sworn in and they did not discuss anythin

this is a significant development in the probe by robert muller into whether there was possible obstruction of justice and also collusion involving the twenty sixteen presidential campaign and of course the white house has been bracing itself for some time now given the fact that we have had three previous trump associates charge of course paul man a fourth the campaign chair as well as an aide and also a foreign policy adviser to the presidential campaign george papadopoulos but there's no question the charges against michael flynn are the most significant because of course michael flynn had a significant part of the early days of the top administration. well moving toward other top stories this hour in the united nations is launched a record appeal for more than twenty two billion dollars to help victims of conflict and crisis around the world yemen is the world's worst crisis with more than twenty two million people in need of aid because of severe food shortages and an outbreak of cholera. pope francis met ranger refugees in bangladesh who fled me on miles military crackdown in iraq and

muller prior to this hearing beginning and we heard these special counsel robert mueller saying in his opening statements that he would be a hearing to the request by the department of justice essentially saying that he would only be testifying about what is in his report and i think that's why we're not seeing the fireworks perhaps that many of the democrats had hoped would come from this witness and even from the side of the republicans as well it appears that this prosecutor is playing straight down the line sticking to his testimony in fact we're seeing more grandstanding in this hearing coming from the lawmakers then from the witness robert mueller himself so it appears on that have that the president has so far through his department of justice and through his tweets successfully shaped this testimony if you will having said that even as robert mueller sticks to his report there is information in that report that contradicts the president you heard the democratic chair there jerry navl are stating that off the top of this hearing that despite the president's claims of no obstruct

republican senate is a warning us president donald trump not to fire special counsel robert muller they say he must be allowed to investigate alleged russian meddling in the twenty six thousand presidential election in a series of tweets over the weekend trump accused the f.b.i. leadership of lies corruption and leaking information as well from washington. if twitter is any indication u.s. president donald trump is growing increasingly worried about the investigation into ties between his campaign and russia sending off a series of angry tweets including this one where he did something you normally doesn't do he mentions robert mueller by name tweeting why does the miller team have thirteen hardened democrats some big cricket hillary supporters and zero republicans another demaris unli added does anyone think this is fair and yet there is no collusion there are a couple of problems with this tweet first of all muller is a republican so is the man in charge of him rod rosenstein who trump appointed and the f.b.i. director christopher ray also a republican trump also tweeted there was no

the russia investigation led by special counsel robert muller and alleged campaign ties to president vladimir putin's government in a statement she said president trump has surrendered his constitutional responsibility as commander in chief by releasing highly classified and distorted intelligence by not protecting intelligence sources and methods he just sent his friend putin a book a trump himself made the argument on twitter prior to the memos release that leadership at the f.b.i. and justice department are out to get him some analysts believe that's more evidence trump is actively obstructing the investigation if you look at the words out of mr trump's own mouth the very incriminating he said repeatedly i need somebody in the justice department who will protect me it's doubtful the memos released will change public opinion about the russia investigation still there is now an effort by some democrats and republicans to literally protect the russian probe from what many believe is a white house effort to derail the justice process kimberly held at al-jazeera washington ok let's bri

muller's conclusions with respect to robert muller's role as a prosecutor which means that he doesn't necessarily deal in exoneration he deals in what can he prove in a court of law and that is something that is very difficult to do in cases where it requires a guilty conscience and guilty understanding where men stray requirements so the fact that mahler could not did not believe that he could prove true or jury beyond a reasonable doubt that trump is guilty is so far and away from evidence that he was in fact not guilty all it means is that he cannot be charged that's what it means it should be taken to mean no more or no less than that and yet you see people in the mainstream media as well as the president weeping to the conclusion that trump has been exonerated it's worrisome it's ignorance of the law and it is kind of really just it's a problem for america. jeff hauser obviously this is going to have lots of political as well as the eagle implications for the moment jeff houser thank you for sharing your expertise with us. and we're just going to take a short break do stay with u

muller's investigation in fact over the summer he was told by prosecutors that he would be charged he was. in his home in fact was raided in a surprise raid over the summer in alexandria virginia it was very detailed in terms of the investigation even photographing his suits and now months later we have the culmination of this the next step which really marks a significant escalation in robert muller some vesta geisha in that we should point out is into whether or not there was collusion between russia and the trunk campaign of the twenty sixteen presidential election now this again is significant because not only is this targeting poll man a for which we suspected would be the case and certainly he was fired by the trump campaign for not disclosing more than twelve million that he received an undisclosed payments from a former ukrainian leader who was in fact a pro russian leader viktor get a covert but also to the fact that this is now happening certainly is the next stage in what many believe will be an investigation by robert mueller that will go on not months but in fact years. k

i don't believe he's going to fire robert muller but i can tell you this there's a lot of pressure on the congress on the attorney general to put an end to this fishing expedition not one shred of evidence has connected the president of the united states when he was a candidate and now that he is president any connection to russia there has been no russian coalition that has been uncovered thus far attorney general jeff sessions says mccabe was fired at the recommendation of disciplinary officers for misleading investigators about the bureau's handling of the hillary clinton investigation for months trump has painted mccabe as a stooge for democrats because his wife received campaign money from a clinton ally the fake news is beside themselves that mccabe was caught called out and fired trump tweeted how many hundreds of thousands of dollars was given to wife's campaign by cricket aides friend terry m. who was also under investigation how many lies how many leaks komi knew it all and much more. komi responded with a tweet of his own mr president the american people will hear my story

we now know negotiated not to read sections of his report so they're not going to have robert muller like at you know somebody doing an audio version of their book providing written you know reading certain segments of that which would have been very powerful for t.v. and so all of that is gone and so what we've had is a somewhat bumbling occasionally lost. person testifying in congress rapid fire questions from committee members sometimes confusing and it's been sort of messy and i think in that i think the objectives that the democrats have had of creating a moment of theater that would explicate and show really outrageous behavior from the white house is just not turned out to be the kind of storytelling that they had hoped for and we're going to see is it more of the same in the hearing this just got under way how does this one differ from the house judiciary committee. well adam adam schiff whom i talk to many times about this is very obsessed with the russia dimensions what they did the malfeasance of the russian involvement and the really the shrug of the shoulders that that d

muller charged thirteen russians with running the hugh. social media trolling campaign against democrat hillary clinton it's a. i have no response you can publish anything and we have seen those indictments and i've also read the statements from the homeland security adviser in the u.s. who denied the reports that any country to influence the election results the same was said by mike pence either here or maybe in another european capital so until we hear the facts everything else is just blather. so let's take a closer look at what's being alleged in the indictment isn't petersburg based internet research agency is listed as a major target of the investigation said to undertake an operations to interfere with elections and political processes also known as the troll factor it's accused of manipulating social media in the us and staging political rallies in support of donald trump the indictment says russian imposters on social media used hashtags like trump train twenty sixteen and hillary for prison named in the indictment is yevgeny rea

muller's inquiry reach so much to talk about here but first as fintan monaghan explains this may yet be a turning point. was general michael flynn was a very visible part of trump's campaign for president one of his earliest and closest advisors his job was often to go after hillary clinton. was by her that's right. that chant came back to haunt him on friday. was his guilty plea will make it that much harder for the white house to downplay the investigation the f.b.i. now admits is looking into potential coup luzhin between russia and the trump campaign which the president has called a witch hunt and i think most of us believe it's not a witch on her hoax and the f.b.i. director and all others believe this is a legitimate concern for their part democrats dismissed the white house assertion that lynn was a minor figure in the administration part of this is yourself from one of the most visible of your campaign surrogates and your national security adviser after the news broke on friday reporters were kept out of a planned photo shoot in the oval office of the president a comment on m

i think they're getting increasingly frightened about what robert muller is up to there have been other stories this week about bob muller honing in on the pattern of the administration in trying to engage in a cover up we saw stories about the president's spokesperson hope picks saying that e-mails would never come out and we saw that in a previous spokesperson mark carollo had resigned because of his concern about obstruction of justice so i think that the white house is has that's all going on a one sided so they'd much rather distract all of us with discussions about this memo which people who hadn't seen it said it would be one hundred times worse than watergate but yet as jim comey pointed out really there's nothing in it there's nothing new or particularly in lightning in it and so by the same token i think people will now say the people who support trump well see we've got this memo and this memo shows us how corrupt it is and i think a lot of people will never have looked at the memo or have no understanding about what's in it the democrats are going to vote to push a vote agai
