j.q. who was called. no collusion no obstruction. the bestie since his election he did earlier cuts to supporters to watch the attorney general's news conference and within minutes of it ending tweeted out the message he's been repeating for twenty two months no collusion no obstruction the president might hope that it's game over but it's not the white house and its republican allies will keep pushing the message that it's time to move on and things well but only to the next stage of an inquiry which has cast a shadow over washington for the last twenty two months democrats want robert mueller and attorney general bill barr to give evidence to congress it is clear the special counsel's office conducted an incredibly thorough investigation in order to preserve the evidence for future investigators the special counsel made clear that he did not exonerate the president and the responsibility now was to congress to hold the president accountable for his actions congress must get the full and

redacted report along with the underlying evidence uncovered by special counsel muller but the leader of the republicans in the senate sees no prospect of impeachment of the president well the speaker's gone out of her way to discourage that kind of talk. but far be it for me to predict what the house may do but the speakers indicated her total lack of enthusiasm for that particular route one area democrats might push on is that miller could not decide if the president committed obstruction of justice leaving it open for congress but one of his fiercest defenders says that is no instance the intent matter and the president's intention here was not to was not to do that and so intent matters and i know you want to cherry pick one line here because the big lie that you've left. it's over folks but it's not just democrats pushing for fresh investigations reelection campaign calling for an investigation into those behind what it describes as

a pure legal matter for lawyers no it doesn't get him off the hook it's true that the house judiciary committee could say well even if mr muller could make up his mind we will and based upon our examination and inferences about corrupt intent we will conclude that mr trump committed obstruction of justice which was an article of impeachment against both clinton and nixon and move forward i don't think that's very likely to happen for the reason that i think the american people place a lot more confidence in mr muller's judgment and you're not going to throw out a president based upon an inconclusive decision then you will the house judiciary committee and i believe that's already been indicative of why the majority leader mr stanley who are issued a statement says we're not going to do impeachment it's going to take too long it's too complicated will take us beyond two thousand and twenty we will use this information quite legitimately in the campaign of two thousand and twenty but as a matter of law in the judiciary committee going forward i think this is over the

friends and now friends told other friends before. my half a simple station it was it was absolutely and i was getting more and more sick. and it was aiding me from the inside out literally sepsis in my in my blood so there's marks on your arms but i think that was from the sepsis. yeah the poison in my whole blood because. it was literally toxic and i mean we've reached. i would be wondering today that i'm either going to die or i'm going to be arrested monday and i want to be arrested you know and each time i was that i knew one of those would happen. and i was praying that it would just happen soon. fran was convicted of drug supply and

sentenced to three years in prison when i came out i had no. money. change of underwear. but that was basically. where i'm living now is not something i am absolutely desperate. today friends going to make gloria lama from the women's justice network she's helping her find some way to live. to see. you looking well will go in and to. see with how things all about. our knowledge and see. if something was up with the clear. thinking you want. to miss washoe you read toshiyuki the very week of catherine writes works for an ngo to provide short term accommodation the single women over forty five.

there's a kitchen here we provide a microwave and fast reach because you know we've got the kitchen downstairs and the. bouncer you know. he's here to fill. the you name it. i think. but actually it's. quite small so we don't start and i do have a pen i'm going to. yeah because. we actually have a paper question smith said it's not really suitable for me. because it's so small and i sort of got really excited and i said i have a little dog and she said we can have dogs here. and i just saw her.

fran it would be lovely to be able to help her she's a person that's in housing they'd it's really sad and you want to help everybody but do you have any other any sort of accommodation that you know you know it's really difficult for people live friend to feel right excite you you need help things like everybody just somewhere that they can put their head down every now and they'll say i'm for most people coming out of prison that doesn't happen but. i've been to prison five times i've been to prison for breaking into driving while disqualified driving under the influence of ice and escape place custody the hardest thing about coming out of prison being homeless and the stigma. it's a big day for becky she's just got her out of jail and the mother is here to greater . form so it's all

true but i'm sure that's ok let's move. on to the next i do only deal with amazing. things in the office of the. letter. which was from everybody. but yeah. we got there some. not so great. a lot of so excited i nanny so i'm going to be lighter in the wake. of the song only song now i'm going to start. i've got some money. some papers my release papers in fifty dollars but it's not that sweet that's only coming out right. not much bikies to six months in prison for resisting arrest. driving while i'm

qualified and stealing petrol anywhere on the map now and will be a new beginning a new beginning. and i've been inside for six months now sorry it's great to be here that's fabulous like i'm seeing the top but i mean that it really and it's so good to have my mom yeah thank you i want to travel. the world and it's been a minute how do you feel today i feel really excited i guess there's a little bit of anxiousness there but. you know it's new beginnings for you and and for us as a family so yeah. every time i get out. there and try to get accommodation spoil me because i couldn't go home to dad because that that's where a lot friends is yes really say that. to the point definitely last fall you. bought before that really since i was sixteen they're sad and when i drink i

have diminished capacity so i might really poor choices take that i get drunk on hang out with people that are in austin and i get on the os and i don't sleep for days and then i'm a drunk again and. it makes me and i stealing cars and. really dangerous behavior. this allows to tell you i have to talk to you on the phone while you have a say and what the impact for myself a big he's prison terms has been the toyman cost and heartache. but mostly it's been the heartache around it you know having to. talk about the with your friends you know i'm going to visit my daughter in prison to say it's a real shame. and. leaving her. when you leave you know it's it was really hard i'm never going back to prison i have

had enough i've i've definitely growing from this experience and i. just i'm not going back i can't i cannot go back it's just there is. the light and it's not going back. two weeks later becky and her mum moved into a new. bank and i had just moved into a new place on the south coast of new south wales. and i guess if i didn't think she'd turn over a new leaf and was ready to make some positive changes in her off i wouldn't have done. this in this company is that what this was when but he was using because she was such an opportunist thief she would i would hard things like my car keys my wallet my phone laptop under my pillow whenever you know i went to bed.

i have had a very tense relationship with my mom in the past but i am revealing that. mom has given me more than a few chances i have let her down more than a few times more. in. a few days ago email stole some precious and irreplaceable things from a house that i was looking after. and for me it really got at me at that particular time she'd stop when lots of things before in the past the deputy cuellar creation it was mother's day and we'd been out for a lovely lunch but that not the norm enough to work she came back to the house and and took those things and with it my trust. she stole the trust that other people hurting me and that was really really tough and i went into a bit of a spiral myself at that point. you. have done a lot of personal growth. my self-esteem was shocking like in my and i'm pretty

good now. i was six when i was actually be used effect that had on my life. i was like devastating. my dad wanted to buy me my mum's flat out and i did not believe me which was really hard and then my parents actually got divorced not long after that i don't even know if the abuse affected me as much as not being believed. i went from happy go to a really i started to possibly i know up to a little fact. i just saw everyone loved me because they had to love me. i feel a lot of regret and shy around that i didn't believe becky when she told me she was sexually abused as a young child i had no reason to believe that that could possibly happen you know i

just didn't know it was very annoying if i do wonder if. we as parents had. lived to earlier and acted on that that maybe just maybe it would have gone as badly as it has. vowed to china one thing more often heard i would go back and fix that and make sure never have any. both think you have a brain so actually melissa i'm sure her life would have been better she wouldn't hang around with the paper she did. such a life self worth or i was unlovable i didn't really get to do things that sixteen year olds did because of my involvement we've have a pretty violent relationship. i think because he was attracted to volunteer people to protect us because on one of our own person and all the so i didn't protect i

have one hundred percent easy go against them. for sorts of things from justifying stealing a car. to just fine them to giving me money. so i'll go to jail i would use that against them like this is your fault. she's broken into my house at least fifty times just all and to get into the house she's broken window box she is going through walls we spend about ten grand on the ground floor to put security screens on doors and all the windows and doors and put a four thousand camera system in we put blotched a lot up north it's just horrendous called when he noises when. it's just inches bad news all around. security screen that they put on

how to see that one's yard bunch bulletproofing yet owns a failure. anyway and then a moaning because stone for me i have these is to my one hundred thousand possibly more is actually that the door to my bedroom so i used to have a case of that but i've broken through the interior walls of the house everyone in our family has got a cave lock on the door because i had. a deadlock and a k. lock a deadlock a loves because i'd actually. broken into everybody's rooms. i would pick the lock but then also i. i cut through the plasterboard from one room into the other room. it's a killer drug. when i got a very. old. who's what

it's all made me look good i'll be very happy with it or. my sister was side me she refused to come to the giles the last couple of. i was in she'd had a gutful. and sorry she got misled or she said you know who you are not the only person that's been abused you're not the only person that's had trauma yes i feel for you and yes it sucks but actually in a just get over it because you keep doing this and are oh i really can't keep doing this anymore there's no point holding on to it and maybe in your victim of it because it was actually destroying my life. women's prisons are filled with stories of people. like me. people that have had trauma. abuse really violent relationships. and

like and i said to the girls actually this awesome i said you know we're actually pretty lucky that we get to jail because a lot of women die and even get he a lot of women. killed through to mystic violence a lot of women are broke and and are in prison in their own house. sorry for me. it's really sad and i could actually very sad to think that. that we end up. in prison after such a dick. you know. mine inspector how are you getting here next week so i really need to find a job so i have decided to be proactive have you guys been looking for anyone or are you saying we actually like

a cool site worked in back and i have never worked with me and not so worked at the bank so i. would be good please don't know how suicidal i am right here right after the so so i would really go away because they are literally i mean company and i kid i so this thing is we have actually just had a cruel history. they released from prison so i'm still claim i haven't used in seven months so for me. this is about getting back on my feet and that's my story and if so if you would like to have think about it that would be that realize i'm going to give you a trial ok fabulous thank you think her take a saying was nice to meet you. thank you. i'm having a trial is to die. i'll do fine i'd like

a week people. up and when you're still in. a fight like a lamb women coming out of prison do you find it hard to find jobs because a lot of people do do police checks but i think that if you're up from honest about it first that people give you a guy i mean won't do stupid things sorry i feel like everyone deserves a second chance by. ten cents train make things she looks great she's very friendly and to be honest i don't really care about people's history i care about what they're going to do without him in the future. i feel regret getting the job so amazing it's. just like there's a lot of why i lifted. my boss is amazing. fabulous she has given me the chance to really have

a new lives. just. like he has been convicted of morbid driving you. know drive and twenty forty. so i'll be almost sixty but i can get my license back. my driving record is horrendous so i've lost my license about eleven times for this is suspended from spinning away in pay ply it's pretty radical stuff when i was writing to my mind thirty one so i chose about twenty eight probably really about is horrendous driving record and then i got done driving under the influence so the influence of. methamphetamines so i. was picked up five times that. maybe i have to go to court at

the end of january today becky is going to see her lawyer big he's facing four charges related to driving while disqualified and two called take a drive provides which basically means that you driving a stolen vehicle or you're a passenger of one so what a different place to make since he's been released in november she hasn't committed any more offenses the offenses we're dealing with actually like two before she was incarcerated the last time so there is potential that i could go back to. that's this is certainly a real possibility you have been in jail on a thing for. me so very similar offenses to what you plead guilty for on this occasion so that there is a. big he knows going back to prison would just be absolutely horrific for. sending him back to jail again is going to be another band-aid it's not going to help the long term in fact it's just going to make her career prospects and her chance of

fitting in society much less successful. meanwhile transponding received some good news. today i'm moving into my new hire you it's a dream come true. what a journey stephen not to count white. thank. you. chapter my life is absolutely it's only good things can come from here i've got such a good feeling but i too could probably use it to give a beehive. so i could say i thought i'd made up of at least just everything

that i could've drain and it was absolutely everything. that thank you. i don't like to share my emotions but i just couldn't hold back the tears it was just. space. since you know i've had i felt. i belonged there i belonged if you can imagine that i. care. might be feeling fairly. you know what the outcome is going to behave life. great to. have been dropped.

i am pleading guilty to one draw a lot of school thought and one stealing and my vehicle. today's offenses happened before i went to prison so i happened early my son from a guy back to prison would be devastating. i caught a baxley imagine that like ike actually cannot even think about that because for me it's not an option i am not a menace to society anymore. i say that how you feeling. a little bit anxious but i. think. you'll be good but this is where. she's worked so hard this time to try and show off i don't think you do this type

of thing the time is for to go back and cause rushing because it's not going to help. you just broke you saw. a lovely sleep making love to get to safety i mean here. i received an intensive corrections or else a twelve months if i step out of line i'll be going straight back to jail. so i'm not going to jail so no one child. that's i. know nothing so he can shut down. now from the family very good. luck.

let's get the latest. from my colleagues they're all morgan who's joining us here on the news from khartoum how big are the protests as of today. well peter since wednesday hundreds of people have been making their way not just from around the tomb but from other states to march their army headquarters yesterday we've seen tens of thousands that number is still in the thousands in front of the army headquarters today in her tomb there preparing for the friday prayers the afternoon prayers after which some of the main players in this protest will be speaking to the protesters political parties and organizers the sudanese professional association are calling the protesters the only card to force the military council to hand over power to an independent transitional government of course we are yet to see that government being formed despite international and regional pressure on the military council the military council wants to be the one supervising that transitional government and political parties are yet to agree on

how that transitional government would look like but at the moment there are thousands of protesters in front of the army headquarters they're saying that they will stay there until they see a change and a transitional government announced and we've heard from protesters we've heard from many people who are affected by president bashir is a regime over the past thirty years and alongside a demand for a transitional independent government there's also been a call for justice to be had to be carried out against the people who were in the regime for the past thirty years. it's nearly thirty years since hannan has and buried her son major to my job was sentenced to death after a military trial which lasted just one day the government accused him of being a currency trader after finding foreign bank notes in his family home his mother says the money was left to him by his father who died and that her son was a victim of the new regime then. the safe hadn't been opened before then they arrested him and told me the day after he was executed they

said that they've killed someone from a powerful family to show that they can get anyone who opposes them i want justice now and i want to clear my son's name he was not a currency dealer they killed him unfairly i want justice for my son's blood. which do my job was among the first to be executed by the military after i wanted bashir amid the military coup in one nine hundred eighty nine and he became president. bush's reign lasted for nearly thirty years before he was ousted by the military last thursday four months of mass protests accuse him of mismanaging the economy and corruption as well as targeting dissidents through the feared national security agency and militias loyal to the ruling party thousands of sudanese have been killed during the bush years rule including dr by begin to have that happening for providing medical aid to protesters in january you may say. my son was a doctor and was carrying out his work there is militias targeted him intentionally

they didn't want anyone to provide medical aid to protesters and now i want justice for my son he didn't deserve to die for doing his job. the doctor was one of more than fifty sudanese killed during the protests they include the continuing to leak sittin at the army headquarters and how to. accountability is one of the top demands of protesters here these people in the city believe those targeted and killed by the former government to be much higher and they're chanting how much of the much has blood work they want those responsible for the killings to not only be removed from power but to be held accountable for the crimes they committed. leaders of the military council which is ruling sudan into the transitional government is formed says anyone who committed crimes over the past thirty years will be held to account and the brothers of the ousted president are among the allies already arrested and at the. arrests are underway of symbols of the eyes to the regime in addition to others who are believed to be linked to corruption cases the most prominent of those who have been placed in custody until nine are

the brothers of the former head of this corrupt regime abdullah and. as in says she waited nearly thirty years to see justice for the death of her son and will be gone she hopes that justice will come sooner rather than later. while the military council has promised that it will make reforms to the judicial system act in national security system which has been accused of targeting dissidents and political opponents and activists but people on the streets are saying that is not enough they want to make sure that power is handed to a transitional and dependent government that will be decided upon by the sudanese professional association and political parties but as it stands at the moment the political parties are not all in agreement on how that transitional government should look like some political parties want a one year transitional period the military council itself wants a two year while others including the sudanese professional association which is spearheading the calls for protests are saying that the transitional period should

be made up of technocrats and composed of a transitional presidential council an independent executive council and a legislative assembly and they want a transitional period of up to four years so at the moment the political parties which the military council says has control of how quickly the transitional government should be formed are yet to decide on how to nominate people and how that transitional government should look like meanwhile thousands are still gathered in front of the army headquarters waiting for the change that they say they've been protesting for for the past four months thanks very much. well for more on this joining us live on. the sudanese lawyer and research associate at the school of oriental and african studies at the university of london mr adam what's causing the delay here. the delay is very clear that actually the. military cost so it's not over the in a city like to actually i don't i don't want to suspect them but actually it does appear to me that they don't have

a solid critic or will actually do to you know to respond to the demands of the protesters on the ground but that but for sure that the sunni or some of the political forces are video forces also you know that is so discussing sings that is still actually you know you know establishing doubt on themselves so that to respond to the this very complicated kind of transition or because extension also of the people on the ground is so high so high actually they need to know some sort of you know solid and you know how to more nice kind of response from the civilian hoops but there's a difference between discussing things amongst themselves and deliberately slowing everything down to stay in power how wedded to the idea is the military therefore for taking to taking two years for this i think two years i think i have to learn who i mean we're going to be very you know wrong kind of transition of peter because people are so eager not let's not forget these forty fifty years of dictatorship that bashir had been putting actually his medical security or on

people on cracking down you know civilian professor or is going to think so the military they have to be very clear and they have to be very sure that actually you know people on the ground they need you know king and they need them as soon as possible you know for the result that actually they would be you know and the power right now on the street on the people on the protest and understood that are maintaining power but also the civilian they need to know tonight themselves because this is the military right now that counting on their you know divisions out current thing actually on their own you know the discourse is thought from so loud that the street in power there are u.s. officials we're being told jus in the country across the weekend what will they bring to this. i don't know but to be one of the current administration doesn't have you know some sort of you know for him system policy or sudan for sure my question is you know many wistrom now the private actors actually will see that as sort of saddam part of this concept it's not democracy it's not freedom it's not

human rights that that my concern because they have you know prior to so right now rather than you know security counter to redeem you know is to make of migration of this kind of thing so so they need themselves i should have a hard actually to sustain their pressure be put on this to be the right now sustained action of the area no acts of king so that you know you know every kind of for regular often national prayer actually should come under their own camps rather than you know their own interest but when you get somebody like the relevant undersecretary provenance is the state department in washington saying publicly this is an extremely fluid situation that's diplo speak for nobody knows where this is going not really this robot afraid or so these may be an excuse for them not to act and execute them actually according according to sedona suspicion for democracy and freedom they just want to stick with them there and they actually it's not acceptable of course that's why you know people says that it's people on the ground actually they have to sustain their pressure they have to sustain actually the efforts you know for democracy and king in the country mr adam thank you very much
