well i think he absolutely was spinning in his interpretation of it and in his decision not to bring charges he could have said this is up to the congress it's not my call to make about charges because of course under justice part guidelines the attorney general wouldn't indict the president anyway so i think the bar particularly is for page summary is going to be looked back on by future generations as a summary of the bible that left out the resurrection. but i mean that's been the problem is as as an official suggesting that the reaction does seem to be spitting along party lines in the end do you think that people will just take out of it what they want to see in the first place and that it doesn't actually advance either side particularly in a list. i think that's very likely to be the case and that's one of the tragedies of this situation russia was able to infiltrate american politics and use cyber warfare to get fake news into our bloodstream because americans are so polarized

right now they hate each other so much that we're vulnerable and that's still true today you could have had a mound of evidence and it would have changed the needle on trump's supporters but in terms of what the legacy of the report on that on the kind of the russian interference regardless of whether there was any collusion do you think that has actually changed the situation in terms of future elections and potential interference from formed by absolutely do not not just not just in the united states but all over the world i think a lot of countries are going to look at this for twenty five million dollars or so russia achieve so many foreign policy goals that they've wanted since one thousand nine hundred eighty weakening nato separating the u.s. from its traditional allies weakening our commitment to free trade so many things from a weak state for twenty five million what will pakistan think about doing the next time india has an election what might saudi arabia think about infiltrating messaging into iran or god or so a lot. nations all over the world are going to be looking at what russia

accomplished because mueller documents very well that for very little money they shook american democracy jeremiah thank you very much indeed for your arses thank you. you're watching there live from london still ahead arrest warrant is issued for the libyan warlord highly for have to and as the u.n. warns fighting between his forces and government troops could escalate even further . human rights groups expressed concern after a court in bahrain revoked the nationality of one hundred thirty eight people following a mass trial. and sport will tell you about the most lucrative contract in n.f.l. history will be here with the details. huge crowds have gathered outside sudan's military headquarters in khartoum

children in that camp you know in a situation some of them are i mean compiled it completely on their own and that makes them particularly vulnerable but also some of them may have a father or mother in place but a solution can be fine with these nationalities with these governments of this country as to how to move forward fuel shortages and brain i have to hope for many syrians living in government controlled areas officials blame u.s. sanctions for the crisis that's doing little to stop the grain criticism saying a honda has more from beirut. the queues for petrol are kilometers long and often it's not available in areas under the syrian government's control the authorities are rationing subsidized fuel last week it was twenty liters every two days now the cap is twenty liters every five days the government says it's short of oil and fuel because of western sanctions on syria and tighter u.s. sanctions on its ally iran.

it has been six months since iranian oil tankers last arrived at syria's port officials say they are being prevented from passing through this ways canal the canals controlled by egypt and it denies that accusation but iran like syria is a target of u.s. sanctioned aimed at reducing its influence in the region damascus to say they are facing an economic war the oil industry used to provide twenty five percent of the government's revenues before the war it used to export half of its production this sector has since suffered losses the government lost control of its main oil and gas fields the balkan are in the north east an area under the control of the u.s. backed kurdish led syrian democratic forces. the s.d.

of controlled region is bordered to the north by turkey and to the east by iraqi kurds they aren't friendly neighbors that is why unofficial trade with the syrian government particularly in oil has been vital for the economy but there are reports from damascus that the u.s. is pressuring its allies to stop the trade. this year and government gets one third of its all or from areas controlled by the as the in the past two months the us pressured the as they have to stop allowing oil to reach government areas as the of the noise and pressure it's even denies having business dealings with the government. before the war syria was able to meet its fuel needs now officials say the about of oil produced in government areas is short of what it needs by almost one hundred forty thousand barrels a day it's a serious challenge for the government as economic hardships have been feeding into public discontent. beirut the un has expressed deep

concern after a court in bahrain revoked the citizenship of a large number of its nationals after one of the biggest mass trials in the country's history or tuesday one hundred thirty nine people were sentenced to between three years and life in prison on terrorism offenses seventeen of those convicted believed to be minors between the ages of fifteen and seventeen or one of those sentenced had their nationalities revoked and twelve nine hundred eighty bahraini s. are reported to have been stripped of their nationality michelle bachelet the huge u.n. high commissioner for human rights so the convictions gave rise to serious concerns about the application of the law particularly through a mass trial that reportedly lacked the procedural safeguards necessary to ensure a fair trial. kilbride does the research invisibility coordinator for the human rights organization front line defenders and she's also worked as a journalist in bahrain and joins us from washington d.c. thanks for being with us so i'll not the quote from the question about the serious

concerns about the application of the nor. how difficult is it was it was a trial to get it to get a fair trial. well whether it's a mass trial or a child for an individual investor in fair trial standards are regularly ignored as was said arbitrarily stripping people of their citizenship or rendering them stateless including children is a flagrant violation of international law but it is unfortunately not something that's new in bahrain so as was stated to since two thousand and twelve which is when the new anti-terrorism legislation came into effect nine hundred and ninety eight believe it is that this point but haney's have been stripped of their citizenship and just to put that into perspective that's that's the equivalent of stripping almost one hundred thousand british people of their citizenship in the span of just a few years this is something that bahrain is increasingly doing and as was said following following mass trials so in may last may there were another hundred fifteen people that were stripped of their citizenship and high percentage of them

were sentenced to life in prison life imprisonment is another one of the but here in the regime the wholly for monarchies favorite way is to punish peaceful dissent human rights defenders peaceful protesters our own colleague from front line defenders of the hot water our former middle east and north africa protection coordinator is currently serving a life sentence in bahrain following torture and a military trial solely for his role in the peaceful pro-democracy uprising in just one of you where you sort of were just want to interrupt you there briefly on the issue of being stripped of nationality can you spell out to us why that's so significant what it actually means in practical terms. so it means that the government has said you are no longer a better any citizen you no longer have the rights afforded to you. by the government of bahrain you are no longer a citizen of this nation now several of them have also been sentenced to life in prison so in effect they are serving prison sentences as foreigners they have been

rendered stateless and so in a sense here we can see that in addition to the widely covered human rights crisis in bahrain they're also creating a sort of humanitarian crisis because it remains unclear where these people are meant to go if you say that one hundred sixty eight citizens of your nation no longer have a right to a passport where they meant to go in the past by train has deported a very small number of those that have stripped the citizenship of two countries where they are known to have family or perhaps they have dual citizenship but many of these people most of these people do not have dual citizenship the children who have had their citizenship stripped away from them certainly do not have dual citizenship so truly it remains unclear what will happen to to those of them who are you know who will be released from prison in the future those who haven't been sentenced to life in prison and what about i mean the criticism for that or the fact the u.n. is raising this and talking about. counter terrorism and countries just nation how likely are they to listen to this kind of report.

does not have a fantastic track record on heeding the concerns that are issued by the united nations and certainly not from their own human rights defenders so frontline we are always saying that the experts on the issue are the human rights defenders on the ground the human rights defenders in the country quite to the contrary. has taken to punishing often violently human rights defenders who speak out against these abuses so as i was saying our own colleague is serving a life sentence in prison we have heard for example from women human rights defenders that sexual assault and sexual torture in detention is actually increasing for women human rights defenders who speak out against these sorts. violations against the stripping of citizenship people who are working on children's rights for example have been sentenced to lengthy prison terms tortured and subject to all kinds of verbal abuse in detention so you know far from sort of changing their course of action by her intends to punish those who work with the

international community to try to reform some of these abuses erin thank you very much indeed for joining us thank you. still ahead on the program. first year will. review who is poised to deliver a political earthquake in ukraine's presidential election. which recent flooding in iran affected up to ten million people we report from a village and. is wanted is trying to help the locals rebuild their lives. and in school can anyone stop the king of play action and they want to comment monsters. how low we've got lots of fine weather across here of looking pretty good as we

make our way towards the easter weekend one of two showers across the east past with the black sea into that western side of russia the big giant really is going to be across that western side we're already seeing cloud of rain sparing in. the thirty's celsius in madrid pretty poor that heavy rain as well for the northeast that we got we warming up quite nicely twenty in london twenty four in paris will still as we go on into the next couple days and those temperatures will just pick up for madrid as we go on through sas they saw as a price of weather to go into the second half of the easter weekend father raced little bit of shabby right there just pushing over towards poland to was that western thought over russia maybe down towards the the black sea as well as the med it's right in central parts of europe looking fine and dry be plenty of sunshine as is the case across the northeast of africa twenty five in cairo plot of the way will make its way across northern parts of morocco northern areas of algeria over the next day i would say and that will just step in to fill peter out as we go on

into the last part of the weekend for central parts of africa into the gulf of guinea we have got some lively showers there southern parts of nigeria though somewhat of weather to right across it if you islands. it's what's wrong to teach children away from the appearance and i heard them into a school home against their will there was no mother no father figures they put is a big player and we sort of the characters you know i don't remember the children's names for your kind of dark secret on al-jazeera. the latest news as it breaks well this is a training exercise the dangers are real because the situation. it's slowly deteriorating with detailed coverage and how that is donald tusk through reason may

makes it clear that the current political impasse simply can't go on from around the world while aid agencies are warning people of the dangers of cholera and distributing vaccines many are still using rivers for thing and cleaning. that are going to one of the top stories here on jazeera the man to report investigating russian involvement in the twenty six thousand u.s. presidential election has been released it says donald trump did not collude with russia but stopped short of clearing him of the charge that he tried to obstruct justice. huge crowds have gathered outside sudan's military headquarters in

khartoum demanding the immediate return to civilian government. and the un envoy for libya has warned of a broader escalation of violence as rival forces battle for control of the capital tripoli the un recognized government in libya has also issued an arrest warrant for the warlord honey for have to command of the libyan national army. let's get more our top story with the release of those reports into russian interference in the twenty six thousand election senior u.s. democrat adam schiff has accused the attorney general of acting like trump's personal lawyer and misleading the american people. the attorney general did a great disservice to the country by misrepresenting significant parts of the mala report by attempting to put a positive spin for the president on the special counsel's findings the attorney general is not the president's personal lawyer although he may feel he is he is supposed to be the highest law enforcement officer in the land and risk he is

supposed to represent the interests of the american people but when the attorney general gives the perception that the president fully cooperated in the investigation when he didn't that they provided all the information materials when they didn't when the president in fact deprive the special counsel perhaps the single most important piece of evidence that is his own verbal testimony that misleads the american people. because there is reynolds is in west palm beach has to. resort is that the president is heading that now and the president himself is pleased with the outcome of this but clearly the controversy surrounding this whole issue is not going away. that's right laurin the president trump is in the air force one now en route to this florida resort town where he'll be spending the easter weekend his mood is described by aides as buoyant somewhat unusually he did not speak to reporters as he often does upon leaving the white

house nor did he speak to them before boarding air force one at an air force base near washington d.c. but earlier in the day actually just minutes before the report was transmitted to the general republic general public the president tweeted once again absolutely no collusion no obstruction said that the report the whole investigation had been a hoax this is a frequent themes of the president's twitter. and he said that he's having a good day when he was. at an event honoring some wounded soldiers from the wars in iraq and afghanistan but democrats have been blasting the attorney general william barr for showing partiality to trump in their minds for giving a generous interpretation of his motives and is state of mind with regard to obstruction and other items you just heard from representative adam schiff the

chairman of the house intelligence committee who detailed some of these concerns that the that the democrats have representative maxine waters of california who is a frequent target of trump's iyer went even further calling barr a lackey and a fake attorney general the attorney general was also harshly criticized by the chief of the democrats in the house nancy pelosi the speaker of the house but ms pelosi represented palosi has been lukewarm to say the least about the prospects of pursuing the case toward impeachment as many democrats especially on the left wing had been urging her nevertheless there will be continuing congressional investigations you can count on that so the president believes this is all over he is incorrect in fact gerald navl of the congressman who is in charge of the house judiciary committee that is the committee that actually. begins articles of

impeachment if they were just to do so said he had seen in the report disturbing evidence that did obstruct justice lauren thank you very much indeed for outing has devastated parts of a ten million people some have described how. quick a they lost everything as a. province volunteer is doing whatever they can to help. oh the river near this village had been rising all night people here say the floods came around sunrise they scrambled to higher ground with no time to save anything but themselves now they're scrambling for handouts. for those who've lost everything even a pair of shoes is precious. but these women say younger stronger people take everything leaving nothing for the weak. generations of people have been living in their own tell for one hundred years and moving closer to the water even the oldest

say they've never seen floods so bad the rains were a reminder the path of the river is older than anything else here a few weeks ago all this was underwater now half the houses will never be rebuilt and the good job is you have a shot we must move somewhere else in the past the river was not this big but now it has come to the village the government won't give permission to build houses anymore. around four hundred people live in this village and it took the river only a few hours to swallow up half of it no one here could tell us how long it might take to recover after the water level went down the villagers were able to come back to their homes and start the enormous task of cleaning up this mound of mud at was at one point actually inside this house and if you come into the house you can get a sense of how bad the situation actually was when the flooding was happening this brown line running across the wall almost to the ceiling that's how high the water

level got inside this house. volunteers have come to help but some houses are too far gone others completely washed away. one woman a widow said it took years to make a home of her own she still owes half of what she borrowed to build a house in which she can no longer live. bring us but we just want a house they bring water food and everything but we don't have a house so this things can not replace our home they gave me a tent not safe to live in a tent. all over the country many people are having similar experiences survivors living among the debris of the things they've lost so. it's cold at night and hot in the day it's really difficult to live in a tent. for now people are getting help but say what they need most are new places to live so they can start living by the road in tents overlooking broken homes and
