Trump accuses Putin of HELPING North Korea in shock rant - DAILY NEWS

Trump accuses Putin of HELPING North Korea
in shock rant US supremo Donald Trump has slammed Russia
for failing to reign in North Korea by stopping efforts to strip Kim Jong-un of his precious
nukes. The Donald hit out at former buddy Vladimir
Putin during an interview where he said it would be easier to end Kims regime if the
US had a stronger relationship with Russia. In an extraordinary move, Trump said Putin
had in fact hindered efforts to stop WW3. He said: China is helping us and maybe
Russias going through the other way and hurting what were getting.

I think we could have a good relationship. I think the North Korean situation would be
easier settled. The Donald has ramped up the pressure on Pyongyang
following a series of weapons tests over the summer. In the following months, Trump pressed China
to rein in the North, which relies heavily on trade with its larger neighbour.

China has appeared to go along with the US
big shot, drawing rare praise from the famously combative President. But The Donald has now turned on Russia, once
considered a friend, in recent months over what he sees as inaction over the crisis. The revealing comments come just days before
Trump embarks on a whirlwind tour of east Asia in a bid to drum up support for action
to be taken against psycho Kim. Trump has even refused to rule out visiting
the Korean Peninsulas demilitarised zone when he visits the South.

When asked if he would be making the trip,
he said: Id rather not say, but youll be surprised..

The nightmare scenario that could see Arsenal's 20182019 season start in JulyNews Now#AFC

Arsenal have been given an extra incentive
to sort out their away form in the Premier League. It's because of their awful form on road as
to why they won't be finishing in the top four this season and it could see them slip
out of the top six altogether as Burnley are very much hot on their heels after beating
Leicester City at the weekend. Whilst Arsene Wenger's side would have a game
in hand, the problem is that it's against the Foxes away from home next month and if
recent results are to go by they'll probably leave the King Power Stadium empty handed. Should that happen and Burnley end the campaign
strongly in a bid to claim a top six finish, then there's extra pressure on the Gunners
to sort out their away day blues and also win the Europa League.

The latter means they'll be back in the Champions
League next season, but Atletico Madrid stand in the way of reaching the final. But failure in Europe coupled with dropping
out of the top six could leave the Gunners facing a nightmare scenario at the beginning
of next season. The World Cup takes place in Russia this summer
with the final scheduled for July 15 2018. A number of Arsenal players are expected to
be involved at the major tournament and you couldn't bet against the likes of Mesut Ozil
or Alexandre Lacazette going all the way with their respective nations.

Yet it's possible that the duo's holidays
could be cut short as the north London outfit's 2018/2019 campaign could begin just 11 days
after the World Cup final. As reported by the Evening Standard, this
will happen if Arsenal don't win Europa League, they finish below Burnley in the Premier League
and if Southampton don't win FA Cup. This would mean Arsenal's season would kick
off on July 26 in the second preliminary round of the Europa League..

The FBI Raids Michael Cohen's Office and Donald Trump Cries Witch HuntThe Daily Show

Michael Cohen, President Trump's
personal lawyer and VIP customer
at Joseph A. Bank. Yesterday, thanks to the FBI, he had a really, really bad day. Let's start with those dramatic
raids on the office and home  of President Trump's personal
attorney Michael Cohen.

The referral from Special
Counsel Robert Mueller led to these search warrants
targeting Michael Cohen. And investigators found e-mails,
financial documents  and some client communications  possibly involving
President Trump.  We're told that Cohen
is under investigation  for possible bank fraud,
campaign finance violations  and other potential crimes
connected to the 2016 election. Man, I'm sorry,
but this is just ridiculous.

Even Trump's lawyer
is being investigated? Like, how corrupt is your circle if your lawyer uses his
one phone call to call you? (Laughter) It seems like everyone in
Trump's world is corrupt. Like, I bet even when he goes
to confession he's, like, (mimics Trump): "Forgive me
father, for I have sinned." (Normal voice):
And his priest is like, "Yo. "You should hear the shit
I've been getting into. Just wait until I tell you." I'm just kidding, Trump doesn't
know about church.

Now, uh... Now, anytime the FBI raids
a lawyer's office, it's a really, really big deal. But it's an even bigger deal when that lawyer's
Michael Cohen, because to President Trump, he's more than just a lawyer. COHEN:
My job is, I protect Mr.

Trump.  That's what it is. If there's an issue
that relates to Mr. Trump that, um, is of concern to him, it's, of course, concern to me, and I will use my legal skills
within which to protect Mr.

Trump
to the best of my ability. NEWSWOMAN:
At the Trump Organization,  he's done a bit of everything:  running
a mixed martial arts company,  securing real estate
branding deals,  and even taking care
of transportation. You know,
the famous Trump plane, there was an engine issue
that he actually took care of and got a really good deal on. Yeah, just what you want
in an airplane, a discount engine.

You're gonna be crashing like,
"Oh, we're gonna die! "But at a greatly reduced rate! So much savings!" But yeah, basically,
Michael Cohen is Trump's go-to guy
for everything. So if Trump has ever done
anything shady-- which I know sounds ridiculous, but stick with me here,
stick with me here-- this FBI raid
has a good chance of finding it, which is why yesterday President Baby
got a little cranky. So, I just heard
that they broke into the office of one of my personal attorneys. Good man, and, uh,
it's a disgraceful situation.

It's a total witch hunt. It's an attack on our country,
in a true sense. It's an attack
on what we all stand for. That's right, it's an attack
on what we all stand for.

You know, the American ideals
of life, liberty, and the pursuit of having a
lawyer pay off your side chick. (Laughter) Now, i-in Trump world, what's happening here
is a giant conspiracy, right? It's Robert Mueller
trying to take Trump down for political reasons. The only issue
with that argument is that the conspiracy
would have to involve every single person
in law enforcement. Explain how many hoops
they had to go through to get this raid
of Michael Cohen's office? Robert Mueller
did not make this decision.

It seems he came upon, um, some sort
of potential criminal activity. He then hands it off effectively to Rod Rosenstein, who's
the deputy attorney general. Says, "Look, we found this. You decide what to do with it." Rod Rosenstein
then makes a referral, meaning basically says to the Southern District
of New York, "Look, here's what we've got.

You decide what to do
with this." Then the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District
of New York makes a decision to then seek out
a search warrant. A judge then signs off on it. The standard for a judge
to sign off on this is high.

Okay, that doesn't sound
like a witch hunt to me, because witch hunts
were really simple, right? Back then it was just like,
"She shrank my penis! Burn her at the stake!" That's pretty much
all you needed. Like, it's just, like,
what we're hearing here is way too much legal procedure to be considered a witch hunt. Like, if people in Salem
had this kind of due process, they would have never
burned anyone. Like, no one would have died.

It would be like,
"She shrank my penis! Let's burn her at the stake!" "All right, all right.
But first, you must fill out
this official complaint." "Okay, and then we'll burn her!" "No, no, wait, wait.
Then we have to see "what the witnesses
in this case say, "and we have to see how big your penis
originally used to be." "W-What was that?"
"Yeah, we need to know how big your penis
actually was." "Well, y-you know what?
Forget it, man. I just, uh... "I actually made up
the witch thing "because Hester
wouldn't let me smash. I'm gonna tell the truth." And look, man,
you can tell that this raid has got Trump rattled,
because this morning, the president tweeted this.

The president
went to bed fuming, and he woke up ranting. This morning
the president wrote this: "Attorney-client privilege
is dead!" (Laughs) I'm sorry,
just the way they said it. "He went to bed ranting
and woke up fuming." It's just like, he was like...
(Groaning) (screaming) Like, poor Trump. I imagine him
in bed this morning, just tears
streaming down his face, like, "No! "My attorney-client privilege
is dead! "At least I've still got you,
white privilege.

"Don't ever leave me. Don't ever leave me!" (Cheering and applause) Now, look, look, the fact is, attorney-client privilege
doesn't apply when prosecutors have
probable cause to believe that you and your lawyer were
committing a crime together. It doesn't work. So I think it's pretty clear that Trump is probably
just shouting out legal terms that he's heard on Law & Order.

Tomorrow, he'll be like, "Objection!
Double jeopardy, Your Honor. Habeas corpus!".

Syria strike BACKLASH China CONDEMNS attack &faces calls to 'stand firmly with Russia' - DAILY NEWS

Syria strike BACKLASH: China CONDEMNS attack
and faces calls to 'stand firmly with Russia' CHINA has scolded the US, Britain and France
for bombing Syrian President Assads chemical weapons bases and has faced calls to consider
a military response. Beijing has accused Western allies of violating
Syrias territorial integrity by pummelling chemical weapons facilities with more than
100 missiles. The only way to resolve the almost decade-long
civil war ravaging the country is through diplomatic means, Chinese Foreign Ministry
spokeswoman Hua Chunying said. She said: "China has always spoken against
the use of military force in international relations and spoken for the respect of the
sovereignty of all the states, their independence and territorial integrity.

China should consider backing Syria and Russia
militarily in the wake of the missile attack, according to military expert Li Jie. Li, a Beijing-based analysts, said: In
this case, I think Beijing should stand firmly with Russia over the Syria issue. China is unlikely to send troops to Syria,
but China would be on the same page as Russia when it comes to issues like supporting the
Syrian government. Britain, France and the US launched a series
of precision missile strikes on three suspected chemical weapons sites across Syria
last night.

More than 100 Tomahawk missiles were launched
by fighters jets, warships and submarines in response to a suspected sarin gas attack
on rebels and civilians in Douma, Eastern Ghouta. In a triumphant tweet, Trump declared mission
accomplished and thanked the UK and France for "their wisdom and the power of their fine
military". Prime Minister Theresa May said the limited
and targeted missiles salvos were fired to deter Assad from using chemical weapons
in the future. Mrs May said the missile attacks were not
an attempt to topple Assads regime, but prevent further chemical attacks.

"This is not about intervening in a civil
war. It is not about regime change," May said in
a statement last. Three targets across chemical weapons facilities
Barzah, near Damascus, and Him Shinshar, based in Homs, were "successfully hit", according
to the Pentagon. There were no immediate reports of casualties.

Assad, May said, should not doubt the resolve
of Britain, France and the United States but made clear that the strike was a specific
response to the Douma attack. Russia had promised to respond to any attack
on its ally, and said on Saturday that Syrian air defences had intercepted 71 of the missiles
fired. Russian President Vladimir Putin blasted western
leaders for carrying out the attack he branded an act of aggression. Inspectors from the global chemical weapons
watchdog OPCW were due to try to visit Douma later on Saturday to inspect the site of the
suspected gas attack on April 7..

Syria AIRSTRIKEMilitary responding to 'ISRAELI ATTACK' in Damascus and Homs - DAILY NEWS

Syria AIRSTRIKE  Military responding to
'ISRAELI ATTACK' in Damascus and Homs SYRIAS air-defences have been firing at
unidentified objects over Damascus in what is believed to be an Israel airstrike,
it has been reported. Syria state television has confirmed its air
defences are repelling attacks in the countrys Homs region. The military announced at around 1.10Am local
time (11.10Pm GMT) that it had fired missiles towards the Shayrat Airbase, to the south-east
of Homs, and its surrounding area in the Homs Governorate. Local reporter Ibrahim Joudeh took to Twitter
and posted a video of the missiles being shot at in the sky.

He said: Video shows Missile launched against
unknown Target in Far East Damascus countryside." Mr Joudeh added shortly after that another
air defence missile was just launched. According to local reports, several missiles
were launched after unknown warplanes entered Syrian airspace from Lebanon. A military source added the Syrian military
believes Israeli warplanes were responsible. Also a number of local reporters have said
there are "Israeli warplanes" flying at high-altitude carrying out the attack after crossing the
borders through Lebanon.

It is currently unclear what the airstrike
was targeting. Initial reports claim the raid is aimed at
the T4 base, but others say it is aimed at Shyrat AB which was hit last year in the US
Tomahawk attack. A source within the Syrian Army told local
media site Al-Masdar that the T4 base was the operations likely target. They added that several explosions were heard
near the base.

A statement from the Syrian regime added that
several missiles were intercepted, but these reports are unconfirmed. The Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) declared
that at least nine Israeli missiles were shot down. There are currently no reports of targets
hit in Damascus. Reports say six missiles have hit Shayrat
air base in Homs and three missiles have hit Dumayr airbase, but these are unconfirmed
so far.

The attack comes after reports of covert airstrikes
carried out by Israeli forces at Iranian bases in the Jabal Azzan region south of Aleppo. According to Amichai Stein, a correspondent
for the Israeli public broadcasting corporation, the Syrian Ministry of Defence claimed it
had intercepted 3 missiles that struck Dumair military airport. He explained: Syrian MoD claims to have
intercept three missiles that struck Dumair military Airport northeast of Damascus and
six missiles launched towards Shayrat military Air Base in Homs. The Pentagon has declared there is "no US
military activity near Homs at this time".

It added: "We do not have additional details
to provide." The recent incident follows a coordinated
attack by the US, UK and France that saw over 100 missiles launched from US ships and UK
Tornado fighter-bombers. The strike was designed to disable the countrys
use of chemical weapons after it allegedly used chlorine against rebels in Douma, eastern
Ghouta on April 7..

South Korea RETALIATES after Kim missile launch with 'precision strike' - DAILY NEWS

South Korea RETALIATES after Kim missile launch
with 'precision strike' SOUTH Korea's military has conducted a 'precision
strike' missile exercise in response to Kim Jong-un's own weapon test. North Korea fired one intercontinental ballistic
missile from Pyongsong, a city in South Pyongan Province, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff
said on Wednesday. It flew for 50 minutes and around 620 miles
before crashing into the sea near Japan. Minutes after the North fired the missile
at 6.17Pm UK time, South Korea's military conducted a missile-firing test in response
to the provocation, it confirmed.

US President Donald Trump said "it is a situation
that we will handle" after the launch. While Japan's Prime Minister Shinz Abe called
for an emergency meeting of the United Nations. "We detected a probable missile launch from
North Korea," Pentagon spokesman Colonel Robert Manning told reporters. "We are in the process of assessing the situation
and will provide additional details when available." The US officials declined to say what type
of missile they thought North Korea might test, but noted that Pyongyang had been working
to develop nuclear-tipped missiles capable of hitting the United States and had already
tested inter-continental ballistic missiles.

After firing missiles at a rate of about two
or three a month since April, North Korea paused its missile launches in late September,
after it fired a missile that passed over Japan's northern Hokkaido island on September
15. This is now the North's first ballistic missile
launch since that date. This comes just hours after the US warned
a missile launch was imminent as it detected secret radio signals from Kim's hermit kingdom. In the past few months, Trump has traded insults
and threats with North Korean leader Kim.

He warned in his maiden speech to the United
Nations in September that the US would have no choice but to "totally destroy" North Korea
if forced to defend itself or its allies. Washington has said repeatedly that all options
are on the table in dealing with North Korea. Trump has pursued a policy of encouraging
countries around the world, including North Korea's main ally and neighbour China, to
step up sanctions on Pyongyang to persuade it to give up its weapons programs. North Korea has given no indication it is
willing to re-enter dialogue on those terms.

It defends its weapons programmes as a necessary
defence against US plans to invade. The US has 28,500 troops in South Korea as
a legacy of the 1950-53 Korean war but denies any such intention..

So Much News, So Little Time Trump EditionThe Daily Show

This weekend's
March for Our Lives may have been the biggest news
in terms of quality, but when it comes
to news quantity, nobody beats President Trump. And over the span
of the weekend, Trump made so much news happen that we don't have the time
to cover it all. Luckily, not enough time
is the perfect amount of time for our recurring segment Ain't Nobody Got Time for That:
Trump Edition. -
-(Cheering and applause) All right, let's start
with the big news of the day.

Trump is getting tough
on Russia. President Trump
ordering the expulsion of 60 Russian diplomats the United States has identified
as intelligence officers. Plus, he's closing the Russian consulate
in Seattle. The White House says
the move comes in response to the nerve agent attack on a former Russian spy
and his daughter in the U.K.

Dozens of Russian diplomats
have been expelled. They will have, by the way, about one week
to get out of this country. One week? That's not a lot of time
to cram all your poisonings in. Yeah, I mean,
now with this deadline, Russians are gonna be
running around like perfume salespeople
at Macy's.

Just gonna be like,
"You're dead. You're dead. "You're dead.
You're dead. You're dead.

Nerve Gas by Kremlin." (Laughter) You know why Trump probably
did this, though, right? Someone told him. They're like,
"Sir, if you sign this, everyone working for Russia
has to leave the U.S." And he was like, "Yay, I'm free! Putin, I'm coming home, baby!" It's like, "No, not you, sir." "Oh, damn it. Stuck." Oh, and before
he kicked out the Russians, Trump also got rid of
his national security advisor, H.R. McMaster, and replaced him with elderly Lorax John Bolton.

Now, for many people,
for many people, Bolton taking over for McMaster
is terrifying, because unlike McMaster, Bolton is horny for war
with North Korea and Iran, and he's one
of the very few people left who still thinks
the Iraq War was a good idea. Yeah. So, now, w-we could talk about how Bolton's policies
could throw America into a never-ending spiral
of unwinnable wars, but we don't really have
the time, because thanks
to another Trump decision, America is actually
gonna have fewer troops. President Trump
has issued an order banning transgender people
from serving in the military except under
"limited circumstances." You know, I'm not gonna lie.

I really don't understand
this decision. I mean, if you're looking
for brave people to join the military, you don't have to look
any further than trans people. Like, you think it takes guts
to fight in Syria? Try being trans and walking
into a restroom in Alabama. That's bravery, my friends.
That's bravery.

(Cheering and applause) So, so, in the span
of a weekend, transgender soldiers
and Russians are out, Colonel Mustache is in. And if that wasn't enough, Donald Trump
kept the government open, but he wasn't happy about it. President Trump signing
that $1.3 Trillion spending bill after threatening to veto because his border wall
wasn't fully funded and there was no fix,
he said, for DACA. The president signing
what was a monster piece of legislation, reluctantly.

There are some things
that we should have in the bill. But I say to Congress, I will never sign
another bill like this again. I'm not gonna do it again. Aw.

Sucks when people
make you do something you don't want to do, Donald.
Aw. It's funny how Trump sold
himself as the best dealmaker of all time,
but he's being forced to sign a deal
that he doesn't like. Yeah, and his big threat
is that he won't do it again. Yeah.

I guess
that's the kind of negotiating that left him stuck with
Eric and Don Jr. In the divorce. Is that what happened? "All right, fine. I'll take
those little weirdos this time, but, next divorce,
I'm standing my ground!" Now, unfortunately,
we don't have the time to talk about how Trump promised
to cut the deficit but instead has spent money
like Lil Wayne at an out-of-network dentist, because the Trump news that's
been swallowing everything this weekend happened
when the star of your sex dreams sat down with Stormy Daniels to discuss her alleged affair
with Donald Trump.

And, my friends, it was creepy. -You had sex with him?
-Yes. It started off, uh,
all about him. Just talking about himself.
And he's like, uh, "Have you seen my new magazine?" And I was like, "Someone
should take that magazine and spank you with it."
And I was like, "Turn around.

Drop 'em." And I just gave him
a couple swats. This was done
in a j-joking manner? Yes. And, uh,
from that moment on, he was
a completely different person. -How so?
-He quit talking about himself and he asked me things
and I asked him things and it just became, like,
you know, more appropriate.

Ew. Donald Trump likes
to be spanked? I did not need to know that. And you know
what makes it weirder is that, when he's spanked, he becomes a
nice guy and starts opening up. You know Bob Mueller is watching
this interview, right? You know that.
And now he's gonna walk into the interrogation room
with a rolled-up magazine, like, "Okay, Donald,
time to talk about Russia." (Cheering and applause) Donald's gonna be like,
"It started with-- ow-- "a meeting-- ow-- "at Trump Tow-- ow! I've been a bad boy.".
