by watching al-jazeera live from a headquarters and i'm dating an operator also ahead caller on the area and other diseases emerge as the new threat to cycling survivors in southern africa. hundreds of thousands of algerians maintain their rage against the ailing president and the ruling elite. donald trump declares that all of territory in syria has been and them unaided but the u.s. backed forces say they're still fighting. fellow special counsel robert muller has finessed as investigation into russian meddling in the twenty sixteen u.s. election and whether donald trump's campaign colluded with those efforts the report's been handed to the it's for any general whole decide how much to share with the public trump as long to write it that investigation as a witch hunt takes us through the key developments. this is the man who has the

u.s. president clearly worried robert mueller the special counsel investigating him his family and his campaign president donald trump has complained and tweeted about him and his investigators more than eleven hundred times by one count calling it a witch hunt hoax the greatest political scandal of all time but trump can actually blame himself for muller having the job in the first place the f.b.i. had already started a national security investigation into potential collusion between russia and the trump campaign the man who launched it was later fired andy mccabe is making some very serious claims as to why we had information that led us to believe that there might be a threat. national security in this case that the president himself might in fact be a threat to the united states' national security but it was only after the president stepped in to fire his then f.b.i. director james comey the moeller was appointed now looking into collusion and

possible obstruction of justice because of coma's claim that the president had asked him to and investigation into the national security advisor michael flynn it's illegal to interfere in a federal investigation trump himself seemed to confirm in an interview with n.b.c. news that komi was fired because of the russian investigation in fact when i decided to just do it i said to myself i said you know this rusher thing with trump and russia is a made up story it's an excuse by the democrats for having lost an election that they should have won then he later told russian officials in the oval office that firing komi took the pressure off it didn't miller has rounded up those closest to the president his former national security adviser deputy campaign manager former lawyer and fixer of all pled guilty his campaign manager was found guilty of a litany of crimes and his long time friend roger stone is also facing charges of lying to congress and impede the investigation the president has another phrase he

often uses when it comes to the investigation it was no delusion with the russian there was nothing there has been no collusion they won't find any collusion this is no reason whatsoever there are high expectations that miller's report will detail if that is actually true paddy calling al-jazeera washington. well donald trump's political rivals and democrats are demanding for the details of the report to be released immediately. now that special counsel muller has submitted his report to the attorney general it's imperative for mr barr to make the full report public and provide its underlying documentation and findings to congress attorney general or must not give president trump his lawyers or his staff any sneak preview of special counsel most findings or evidence and the white house must not be allowed

to interfere in decisions about what parts of those findings or evidence should be made public mike hanna is joining us from washington so we know what the democrats are asking for but what is it for any general bar required to do next well the very strict to justice guidelines in the terms of a special counsel's report william barr has outlined what he is going to do in a letter that he sent to the judiciary committees of both house and senate notifying them that he has received the miller report he says that next he will sit down with his deputy rod rosenstein and robert mueller himself to decide what parts of the report should do dream made public should be handed over to congress whether they should be potions redacted or whether the report will be released in its entirety he says in that letter that he will then hopes to have information for congress over this weekend so it could move very quickly in terms of the decision

by the attorney general as to exactly what details of this report to release or indeed whether to release the report in its entirety to congress and we'll be looking out for obviously what the trumpet ministrations next steps will be in any responses from trump or those around him. well we've heard from president trump's lawyers that they welcome the fact that this investigation has been completed there has also been a suggestion from one of his lawyers really giuliani that the report be made available to the white house but you heard there very strongly from democrats in particular that the justice guidelines must be observed that the report has to be given to congress before it goes to the white house lawyers and certainly that is what justice guidelines say that all being said though one must remember that william barr has a boss is name is president trump now it would be very unusual for the president to

order to the report to be given to his lawyers but nothing can be ruled out of the bounds of possibility at this particular point but where it stands at the moment it's with william in consultation as to when the report will be handed over to congress and how much of that report will be given to congress and then made public all right mike hanna thank you so thirty four people in three russian companies have either been indicted or pleaded guilty and that includes donald trump's former campaign chief poehlman of four he's been sentenced to a combined seven and a half years in prison after two separate trials michael flynn trump's first national security adviser has pleaded guilty to making false statements to the f.b.i. and the u.s. president's former lawyer michael cohen struck a plea deal admitting he lied to congress about efforts to build a trump tower in moscow and in january longtime trump advisor roger stone was

indicted on seven counts stone is accused of lying to congress as well about his efforts to get in touch with wiki leaks injuring the campaign first fine is a constitutional lawyer and former us associate deputy attorney general he says it's up to the democrats to continue to put trash pressure on trump over muller's findings. there's no doubt that the house judiciary committee can subpoena the support the house judiciary committee could subpoena the president it could subpoena mr maule or they have really limitless power when they are doing investigations relating to impeachment indeed one of the articles of impeachment against president nixon and which i was involved stated that his refusal to comply with a judiciary committee subpoena was itself an impeachable offense so i think this now puts the ball in the court of the house judiciary committee and then the democrats they will have to step up to the plate and take it political accountability for pushing this invasion investigation further it's or it's going

to stop i think they're democrats are divided nancy pelosi the house speaker has impeachment she did the same in two thousand and six which i think emboldened some of the crimes of george w. bush and richard cheney saying impeachment is off the table because they're making political judgments rather than the judgment of whether or not the kind of conduct in the oval office is such that it creates a very great worry about it herons to the rule of law and discharging the administration of justice and writing confidence that the american people are being the the first concern of the president rather than private interests so i do think that there's a division but i believe that the reason why you have continuing support for trump is because all the evidence that has been compiled to date has largely been secret you know in so with american people like in watergate need to be brought along you have to have these witnesses on t.v. subject to cross-examination so all we who are really the ultimate sovereign in the united states get to decide. it's over weeks and cyclonic die at southern african

countries including mozambique and zimbabwe and desperation is growing among the survivors an estimated one point seven million people are affected many of whom need food water and shelter so in mozambique which was worst hit two hundred ninety three have been confirmed dead but it's feared the death toll will exceed the thousands the devastated port city of barrow has become a center for frantic efforts to rescue thousands still trapped by the floodwaters in eastern zimbabwe the official number of dead from the floods and mudslides is two hundred fifty nine and another two hundred seventeen people are missing aid agencies say they're running out of time cases of cholera have already been reported in bear and there has been a rise in malaria and faxon's to tony berkeley was in one community a mozambique as aid arrived. they are the survivors assigned

clone but when we come to it struck they are still desperate and hungry but this center just outside the area they were expecting food supplies they got a few weeks biscuits seems really bad got out that the flooding happened a week ago and this is the first help we have had just. we are struggling to survive because everything was destroyed water still holds claim to much of so full of province driving from deraa you can see the vast area that has become an inland sea homes destroyed others left isolated. aid to rescue operations are focusing on the hard hit communities with larger populations there are tens of thousands of others living in smaller more isolated pockets they are out of sight out of mind. three families live in this small hut seventy kilometers north of beera the cyclon destroyed their huts and crops they now survive on bananas and maize maria's home

was demolished when the psycho struck she thought she was going to die a little later that a fairly learned it would be when i saw the danger to first thing i did was to protect myself and my son i couldn't stop the water stripping away our clothes blankets and everything is gone we're suffering then the water levels are dropping after two days of relatively good weather but the damage left behind is hampering aid efforts up until three days ago this whole area and this road was completely devastated by the psycho and covered in water it made passage impossible come along these roads it shows you how difficult delivering any kind of meaningful way by road will be the main focus is by air people being rescued by helicopter but that's only making a small fraction of a difference many of the dirt track roads in the countryside have been seriously affected aid is trickling in but the death count is rising and the risk of disease

and illness is increasing by the day we're sitting on a ticking bomb as well as what is the new vision and major news concern and cholera outbreak you know is there a reality in.
