base. would you believe for a few weeks in the run up to the second round runoff and it's not beat about the rate it's about whether or not this debate is going to happen. in the big stadium but it did happen but it's an extraordinary thing it's absolutely what we have two presidential candidates now all this. stage four though. they were facing each other from opposite ends of the football pitch we're standing on it your car should go the incumbent president was over that he's thousands of supporters are up there are there all the saw that broke down here and i know you're all decides to pull out to be is elaine steele should pull to cheering and cheering it all the more right moments she did something to the spectacle it's not really a debate it's a slugging match an appearance is it deceptive because although there appear to be

more for sanko supporters in here this evening pitcher poroshenko he's trailing in opinion polls by a huge margin. so unless something radically radical happens this evening about students he doesn't say the right wing's can still hold cool because of the major political upsets in ukrainian politics still in the election on sunday for. india's prime minister annette and render modi has addressed a gathering of businessmen in new delhi in an effort to shore up fights for his party before elections and has to mail has more from the indian capital small traders are traditional base for the b j p or part the agenda party and prime minister narendra modi now most is back addressing that base to shore up support during this election many small traders say they are very pleased with the government's policies businessmen gilliam what did you build that for businessmen modi's very good with this election manifesto in future enough to have been he

sit in is like stepping into a new sudan people are taking power into their own hands these civilians are now guarding the border and they're greeting people with songs and smiles. with soul being searched is almost a pleasure and they'll work involuntarily. while this crowd craves the heat to put out a message of change others help to keep them cool money is also being donated drinking water is provided i. food is served for free for a while but they medical doctors have left their jobs on joint efforts to set up makeshift clinics to help those who protested last night. yeah we worked in hard conditions there were days when we couldn't handle the sheer number of people

who came for medical help we could hardly sleep for days we were doing both the humanitarian and national by being here. these people are here in front of the army headquarters to make sure a complete revolution is achieved and a military coup doesn't just lead to another period of rule like that and the omar bashir. in medicine as you said the military council most tend of power to a transitional civil and government. which protected by dion me will fulfill all the objectives of the revolution so far we have only cut the head of the tree we still need to remove the ring it's a message that's being eco that on sudan ordinary people now take center stage the blood that's been shed for this moment is on the walls as are the young women who acted with courage and leadership this is where some of the deadliest blasts took place on the morning of the coup when thousands of protesters were caught in the

crossfire members state security those rascals day displaced the special facilities where it actually came from this direction a lot of water it's not a pleasant. hospital since this uprising it's like a fire ball that's building itself a sense of the old regime. the uniforms of those snipers who were caught hank here as a mark of shame to those who fought change but many here say the deep state is still intact and only the facade of the whole matter she has been removed i think that. they didn't go they just removed some dirt and put more tax in its place we don't want any national congress members in the government and that's why the protest must and and they are the slogan whether or not that is she has fallen and we are staying here. while the repair bill for flood damage in iran is expected to be around two and a half billion dollars millions of iranians are rebuilding their lives after the

devastating floods a month ago as reports from lauriston province the crisis has come at a bad time for iran's shrinking economy hampered by u.s. sanctions. iran's government is measuring the cost of flood damage in the billions of dollars for iran's people measuring the cost is also very personal damage shops . broken furniture. even packets of spaghetti. homes have been destroyed shops and businesses damaged everything it's gone. now the cleanup the floods left this school filled with mud the goal is to clear up as fast as possible to get the children back into class now this is the kind of thing that will cost time and money to fix if you look over here that metal structure that's connected to the bridge that is a temporary one that had to be put in place when the pressure of the water that was

coming through flowing through the river brought down entire sections of that bridge and if you look over here in this direction basically what we're looking at is a river front that has now been completely destroyed. the iranian government's response to this emergency was rapid and people say they are grateful but now they expect the authorities to help them return to their normal lives. a scheme is in the works to rent apartments for people who don't want to live in tents and relocate those from villages which cannot be saved just so the city governor of pulled up there says his people are doing everything they can. seeking to considering the large scale destruction all roads had been cut and we had no access to the capital of the province to villages were damaged and we had to. cut across lauriston province crews have been at work for weeks rebuilding washed

roads repairing transport links is crucial for getting help into affected areas. there is a sense of urgency. officials want to get the newly homeless out of tents and into temporary homes away from busy streets for some patience is wearing thin and there have been reports of protests in some parts of the country. we met one woman. who says she's had enough little remains from her earlier life but memories just days before the flood she was celebrating the persian new year with her family now this is all that's left. with a. house was just here the floods took us away completely there is no sign of a two story house anymore it's riven now we have displaced living in tents we don't know what to do there is so much pollution there are thousands like her looking to the country's leaders for answers. the questions include where will her family go

and how will she raised three boys after losing everything. on province iran. now climate activists have gathered in a number of european cities at the start of the easter break they're demanding that politicians acts in the face of what they call a climate emergency journal reports from london. to change protests that began in london on monday are spreading. by friday greenpeace activists had appeared in paris aiming their actions of multinational companies with government links. we want to send the message that we need to act urgently there's a climate and social crisis that needs to be tackled and at the moment we're not even close and in rome the young swedish climate activist gretta from berg told the crowd that time is running out. she manatee is standing at

a crossroads we have decided which we want to take and now we're waiting for the others to follow our example. at the start of the easter holiday weekend a small group of teenagers tried to block access to london's heathrow airport police were quick to intervene they were part of the london based movement extinction rebellion that drew the attention of one celebrity dame emma thompson to help make its message heard. the london protests have been shed you will to last for two full weeks or until the government promises to confront what protesters describe as a climate and ecological emergency but there are signs the police will send for london's busy oxford street and other locations three it will be full there. is a very fine balance being struck here between the interests of this very peaceful passionate crowd and public order with roadways in the capital obstructed now for

five days it's clear nobody here wants confrontation with the police clearly feel that they've got to do something to regain control the police have been fantastic. i say far of what i've seen how far are you prepared to take this as far as needed as long as it means a peaceful nonviolent atmosphere i must be here today to have been a number of arrests but all my whole it's all been pretty good natured so young and old in a city in for the earth for humanity and a better future john how al-jazeera london. hello i'm. with the headlines on al-jazeera u.s. president donald trump has telephoned to support the libyan war on. has been eating a military campaign against. un recognized government in the country trump praised

premature and unnecessary a redacted version was released on thursday it appeared to clear trump of collusion with russia during the twenty sixteen campaign suggested he may have tried to obstruct justice turkey has arrested two palestinian suspects who allegedly confessed to spying for the united arab emirates the two men are reportedly accused of monitoring members of hamas and the muslim brotherhood turkish media reports one arrived in turkey days after the murder of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi in october police are investigating a possible link with the crime ukraine's president petro poroshenko and his rival actor and comedian brought to me is a lengthy have gone head to head in the live television debate several thousand spectators turned up for the event in kiev and then pick stadium opinion poll suggests then ski will win sunday's runoff vote three weeks after he beat in the first round of the presidential election. those are the headlines join me for more news here after inside story do stay with us.

robert muller support is out but the controversy over donald trump's ties to russia is far from over this attorney general offended his boss on thursday democrats and many journalists accuse him of misleading the public to protect the president this is inside story. into the program i'm richelle carey yes president declaring total victory after the

release of a censored version of robert muller support on collusion between his two thousand and sixteen campaign and russia but outside trump's inner circle many are reacting very differently in a game with al jazeera jordan on what the long awaited mullah report does and does not tell us. donald trump's two thousand and sixteen campaign was dogged by charges it was working with russia to throw the election his way but would robert muller was chosen to investigate those allegations this was trump's reaction oh my god this is terrible this is the end of my presidency now bowler's investigation is done and the four hundred forty eight page report with many sections blacked out is now public the special counsel's conclusion stated at least three times. accordingly while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime it also does not exonerate him as far as the u.s.

attorney general is concerned trump is not in legal jeopardy bill barr says just because muller's report is filled with details about contacts between the campaign and russian officials doesn't mean anyone committed a crime we collect this information we use that compulsory process for the purpose of making that decision the report confirms what the u.s. intelligence community believes russia did meddle in the two thousand and sixteen presidential campaign between trump and hillary clinton russ upon tax with members of trump's inner circle where betty including with his son donald jr who is not be charged with any crime his lawyer michael cohen and campaign manager paul bana fort both kohen and man a ford are now headed to prison for a lawyer to the government about their actions however muller and his investigator say there's not enough proof of

a bigger conspiracy or of presidential interference if we had called didn't after a thorough investigation of the facts that the president clearly did not commit obstruction of justice we would so state based on the facts and the applicable legal standards however we are able to reach that judgment. but boehner it gets he never compel trump to sit for an interview in the interest of time raising questions in congress and the general public about how thorough this investigation really was rosalyn al-jazeera washington an hour before the report was released attorney general william barr spoke to reporters he was later criticized for mischaracterizing some of the report's findings and for acting like one of president trump's personal attorneys rather than as a neutral law enforcement official in assessing the president's actions discussed in the report it is important to bear in mind the context president trump faced an

unprecedented situation as he entered into office and sought to perform his responsibilities as president federal agents and prosecutors were scrutinizing his conduct before and after taking office and the conduct of some of his associates at the same time there was relentless speculation in the news media about the president's personal culpability yet as he said from the beginning there was in fact no collusion our defendant throughout the press conference saying the president cooperated fully with miller's investigation but the report did criticize trump for refusing to agree to an end person interview with the special counsel and for refusing quote to provide written answers to questions on obstruction topics or questions on events during the transition or also said that trump had done nothing to obstruct the investigation but according to the report trump ordered a top white house official to fire miller and then when that official refused

ordered him to lie about it perhaps most importantly barr repeatedly said that the report showed there had been no collusion between the trump campaign and russia but it actually says the russian government to try to help trump's campaign and that the campaign quote expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through russian efforts. and bring in our guests now joining us from philadelphia is joe watkins republican political strategist and former white house aide to george h.w. bush here in doha clyde wilcox professor of government at georgetown university and again from philadelphia on sky claire finkelstein professor of law at the university of pennsylvania law school welcome to the program all of you clyde i'm going to start with you because we began this discussion yesterday right before the press conference when you joined me here on al-jazeera and you had some concerns

going into the press conference for a number of reasons even the fact that there was a press conference before reporters or congress that had a chance to see the report now that the press conference happened and the report has been released what are your thoughts on the things that the attorney general said many of which clearly do not jibe with the report. two things first of all obviously the attorney general was doing a campaigns even for donald trump but secondly i just don't understand the logic of the press conference at all because an hour later we have the report and we can see that most of what he said or much of what he said was at least more complicated and often just wrong and so i don't know what the audience for that press conference was joe. here is a representative of the republican point of view what was your take on the things that bill bore said and the fact that at least some of those things clearly ended

up not being true or at the very least were a mischaracterization of what the report actually said. well from a political standpoint what the bill barr said was helpful to the president tourney's general generally supposed to represent the united states government to be the chief prosecuting officer for the for the us government but in this case attorney general barr saw fit to hold a press conference which was very helpful to the president trump and what i mean is that for the majority of americans who will never read the over four hundred page report all they wanted to know was whether or not the report. concluded that the president had obstructed justice or had colluded. participate in collusion with the russians and when attorney general barr said that the end of the day the report shows that there was no collusion and the obstruction of justice for millions of americans that was enough certainly for people in the president's base but also for

lots of voters around the country who were never going to read the report for them that was enough so what the attorney general did from a political standpoint was very beneficial to the president does actually let me go back and clear on this before i follow up on that claire do you agree with that assessment that there was already concern going into this about the choreography of this and the order of this and the fact that the reporters in the room weren't going to have the benefit of having read the report to ask pointed questions but do you agree with those point that what will probably happen going forward no matter how much reporting there is the takeaway for a lot of people will be the words that that bill barr said. people want to actually dig into the report do you agree with that. i do and the biggest concern that i have is the stress that bill barr laid on the fact that he was not found in dateable for obstruction of justice on substantive grounds barr

seem to suggest when miller stresses all the way through the report the long standing tradition of the justice department of not indicting a sitting president it seems therefore highly likely that muller was trying to send this to congress that he was very concerned about evidence of obstruction of justice that the fact that it was the president of the united states we were talking about and the justice department policy which a lot of people don't agree with was really the reason for his not moving ahead or at least a very large reason for his moving ahead and so it's a technical point bill barr however has really spun the narrative on that one and i think that's concerning. ok let's he said a lot there so we're going to come back to a lot of it i first though i want i do want to ask you about the clip that we played a moment ago where. after bill maher said all of what he said that he pivoted and said let me put this in context and then started trying to explain it from his

point of view why the president had been frustrated perhaps did the things he did it i don't know if it's the tweets i'm not really sure but we explained the role of the attorney general yes the attorney general is nominated by the president but explain for our viewers what the role of the attorney general supposed to be. the attorney generals the chief law enforcement officer of the united states he is not the president's personal lawyer and what's really shocking is that when you have a report that details russian interference to subvert our election you would think that the chief law enforcement officer of the united states would be out there saying i am really concerned about the role the russians played in trying to impact our election and we are going to make sure that we are doing everything we can on law enforcement side to ensure that it doesn't happen again and you don't

find any expressions of that his primary focus has been on exonerating the president it's not an appropriate role for the attorney general or to be massaging the rollout of this report in any way joe does that concern you that we haven't seen any pushback or anger from the president or even largely from the republican party about the fact that clearly russia did involve itself in the election perhaps tampered with are you concerned just from a national security perspective that we haven't seen a real effort to make sure that doesn't happen again joe. well in a perfect world there would have been no press conference yesterday because the thing would speak for itself that is to say the report would have spoken for itself and there would have been no need for a press conference but there was and as i shared a little bit earlier it was politically very helpful to the president look at it politically republicans don't have anything to gain from from continuing the debate

. about the miller report in the year two thousand and twenty which is a presidential election year and also a us senate and us house election year they know that voters will be looking to. economy issues the health care as hard as just a moment and i do want to talk about those things i do but i just kind of want to pivot back to the question i asked are you or the republican party concerned about the fact that russia meddled in the election and the president has shown no anger about that. clearly republicans and many republicans are concerned about the fact that there was mentally ill in the election and many have called for to take steps to make sure that that doesn't happen again and i think that from the president on down there would be concern on the part of the republican party but as a political issue that clearly is not front and center while efforts will be made by republicans as well as democrats to make sure that no foreign entities ever have

an impact on u.s. elections going forward that won't be the front and central issue. for republicans because they're concerned about winning back the house of representatives in two thousand and twenty retaining control of the senate and retaining control of the white house in two thousand and twenty five they're going to be doing all the things that it takes to retain the white house and to retain the senate ok we will get to the politics of this because i do want to talk about how voters may be processing this but the national security issue who who are will be taking the lead on trying to do something about russian interference who will because donald trump at least publicly has not he continues to deny that it happened and the best of my understanding is that he's blocked efforts by both the cia and the f.b.i. to begin to count her russian efforts and i think this is really major this was a massive interference it didn't just happen in america it happened in brecht's it

it's attempted to happen in germany the germans managed to stop a lot of it and were doing nothing and the details here about hacking into even county level voter data is really frightening and i think that both everyone and both parties should be coming together now and saying we can't let this happen again claire are you concerned that it will happen again. i think for sure it'll happen again the russians have really not abated their efforts i do think there have been improvements in electoral security this mostly that's happened on the state level that the federal government has offered some assistance with that the intelligence community has caught up but the trouble is that we have a president in the white house who very clearly from this report welcome to the assistance of a foreign power in order to win the election and it does appear that the republicans are not concerned about that issue which means that it could happen again ok i. know you are in the hot seat as the republican and we appreciate you

coming here and taking the questions and a question i do have for you is if all of these things that this report were about a democrat how do you think republicans would be reacting. well they might react the same way the democrats are reacting there usually isn't much difference in terms of how parties react to these kinds of issues just depends on who's in power and what their leverage is and right now the challenge for democrats who have the right to certainly in congress is a co-equal branch of government to investigate to subpoena or they can do all of that and they should do what they're supposed to do but nonetheless they're going to be held to the standard by the voters as to what did you accomplish in the two years that we gave you the majority did you bring about any meaningful legislation did you help move the ball forward politically and the investigations are important

and will take place certainly i'm expecting that that attorney general muller will be brought to testify before congress some i'm sure that the special prosecutor muller as well will be brought to testify before congress of both barr and miller will be brought to testify before congress but that being said a mesh americans going to be more fixated on the pocketbook issues as these a lessons roll around in two thousand and twenty and democrats have to be concerned with how they how they get reelected ok so claire let's talk about what he said because he does make a valid point this seems to be this axis of evil crisis the democratic party is having right now you know we have a duty to and vesta gate things like this that is what our job is we also have to be concerned about the things that are our voters are concerned about and joe does make a good point the average voter may not be as kneedeep in this is everybody else they may be concerned about you know kitchen table issues as they say but what it's to

that point what responsibility do the democrats still have even if this is not something that is necessarily top of mind to voters. it's really extraordinary that if this is true that voters don't care about electoral security and about foreign interference this is not a democratic republican of course and i as i agree but i did say when asked secure but i assure you of the sorry as i was when i was i know i agree but if it even just pay attention to the types of questions that come up in town hall meeting for some of the candidates that are out there they often ask more about health insurance except her etc so i'm simply saying is that necessarily what should drive the democratic agenda when something this big is still out there i think that the democratic agenda is focused on many different issues i think health care has it is true what you say that the american people seem to be overwhelmingly concerned

about health care and i think the democratic agenda will be focused on that as well but i think what's really important here is that democrats and republicans ensure that whoever is elected is a true reflection of the american people's agenda and not injected by a foreign power and by the way this is not just a problem with the russians this particular report deals with russian interference in the twenty six thousand election but we know especially from foreign agent registration controversies in issues that ukraine and saudi arabia united arab emirates have all attempted to influence u.s. politics in various ways we have to get a handle on this issue on national security grounds and both parties have to address it together regardless of what the american people are focused on at the moment domestic issues will always rise to the forefront for the ordinary person

because it's closest to their lives but it's the responsibility of the of the elected leaders. to identify threats to u.s. national security and to bring those threats to the attention of the american public clyde this report. a common thing throughout the report is that. donald trump lies a lot it is clear in this report that is not a bias that as a fact he conducts his staff to lie press secretary sarah sanders admitted in the investigation that she blatantly lied in a press conference when she said that there were people from the f.b.i. coming up to her saying thank you for firing muller she admitted to the investigation that she lied and then when she was confronted about that on morning television in the u.s. today she said well i said it in the heat of the moment i'm not a robot what does it mean for the country that the boy in the

face of the white house press conference the president himself are documented repeated liars. well and it goes beyond this because actually there's been a cases where the president was instructing people to lie and they refused and those people are no longer in the administration so i you know people talk a bit about precedent to bar mentioned precedent and actually we have the watergate scandal as a precedent right and in this particular case republicans and democrats came together because they saw a crisis and the crisis was a president obstruction of justice and it was howard baker who took the lead and said i need to know what the president knew and when he knew it so this is actually a moment i think when both parties should be coming together to deal with this particular issue it's true they cut the country cares about the economy but i would if i were a republican i would be holding a lot of hope of that basically donald trump is underwater still about ten points in a gallup poll with

a three percent unemployment rate so i'm not sure there's good news there but this is a really important critical moment in american democracy and i think that i'm looking for republican leaders to step up and make some critical comments here joe i think the question now going forward can you see m.p.h. mitt proceedings actually happening probably not i don't think there's any will among leading democrats like nancy pelosi and. house member clymer to pursue impeachment proceedings especially since they know that there's no will to impeach the president on the in the senate and the republicans republicans control the senate so i don't think that's likely there still be of course a strong clamor from progressive democrats to least consider impeachment proceedings but i don't expect that to happen. clyde what's your take do you think that there are actually will at the very least will there be more testimony before congress and do you think that there could also end up being and pitchman hearings

well yes to more testimony no to impeachment there's certainly impeachable offenses in this report but it pietschmann is a political and the senate would not convict and so i think the democrats in the house would probably be shooting themselves in the foot to focus on impeachment when the republicans were trying to impeach bill clinton for obviously much smaller . problems public opinion rallied around behind clinton and he actually again the public support but i think continued investigation and then you know what we can actually hope for is republicans in the senate democrats in the house coming together to find a way to block foreign intervention in our elections ok then you're going to get the last word on this claire same question do you see that there will be at the very least bob muller going before congress to testify and then perhaps also the beginnings of some sort of impeachment investigation do you think do you do you

think that voters want that even to voters don't want that do you think the congress has a responsibility to do that will you bar will testify and i think it's highly likely that robert mueller will testify after that and it's also important to highlight that adam schiff committee the house intelligence committee will continue to investigate especially the parts of the report that are hinted. redacted for national security reasons and then the national security issues that are related to that i do not forsee impeachment however for the reason already given which is that there would not be conviction in the senate so i don't think that democrats will perceive it as in the country's interest or in their interest to proceed with impeachment proceedings that would not result in conviction i want to have a follow up question i want to ask you when you mentioned or just is there a reason for habit if from just going to the public and having his own cock press conference and explaining this report himself. he's not prohibited from doing that

but he's the consummate professional it would not be a very professional thing for him to do so if congress demands as in effect they have that he testify that would be the more comfortable way for him to speak i think it's very important that we hear from him because of the lack of agreement between. attorney general barr and the way that the report came out with regard to . what should happen as next steps are right that will be the final word thank you to all of our guests joe watkins and claire finkelstein both in philadelphia and clyde wilcox right here and doha with us i'm sure they'll be plenty more to talk about on this thank you for watching as well you can see the program again any time visit our web site al-jazeera talk on further discussion got our facebook page facebook dot com for slash a.j. and side story you can also join the conversation on twitter our handle ass at a.j.
