welcome back a quick recap of the top stories here this hour u.s. president donald trump has offered support to the libyan warlord in effect after all and a phone call after his forces are trying to take control of tripoli from the internationally recognized government earlier this month sect of state might bump a zero demanded an immediate halt to the offensive. hundreds have gathered in northern ireland to pay tribute to a journalist children a riot near mckeever standing close to a police car when she was shot politicians on all sides in the region have condemned the killing. and sudan's protest leaders are set to put forward candidates to lead a civilian government friday saw one of the biggest protests since president omar al bashir was forced by the military to step down. now to the continuing fallout from the release of the mother report the u.s.

department of justice has dismissed a subpoena from congress democrats requesting an uncensored copy of a doctored version was released on thursday can be held get as more from washington . as u.s. president donald trump arrived fur golf game at his club in florida back in washington democratic members of congress renewed demands and issued a subpoena for an unproductive version of special counsel robert muller's report by may first on a working visit to northern ireland during a congressional recess nancy pelosi the top democrat in the u.s. house of representatives again play down talk of impeaching the president that this time she didn't rule it out the congress of the united states will honor its oath of office to protect and defend the constitution of the united states to protect our democracy we believe that the first article article one the legislative branch

has a responsibility of oversight of our democracy and we will exercise that the conclusion of congressional democrats after reading what they call the selectively redacted four hundred forty eight page report is that while the special counsel declined to prosecute a sitting president did call on congress to investigate whether trump obstructed justice and tried to stop the investigation into russian interference in the twenty sixteen u.s. election on friday morning trying tweeted using profanity he lashed out at recollections of his statements in the report calling the fabricated and the investigation an illegal hoax congressional republicans are promising their own investigation into whether law enforcement agencies like the f.b.i. may have exercised political bias to destroy trump's presidency democrats have announced they will hold a conference call on monday to discuss next steps this is far from being over and i'm sure that the house and the senate oversight committees are going to be looking

at every piece in turning everything because just looking into what the special counsel looked at. the possibility of impeachment i think everything's on the table and. this is not the end of anything but what happens next is now in the hands of congressional democrats newly empowered by the special counsel to act potentially dictating not only the terms of transfer mading time in office but also whether he might win reelection the twenty twenty presidential race can really help get al-jazeera washington for the first democrat to declare for the twenty twenty us presidential race is calling for donald trump to be impeached senator elizabeth warren says the house of representatives should begin proceedings her position is different to that of several other leading party figures who said the process would be counterproductive particularly during an election campaign or robert ray is a former u.s. independent counsel the previous title for robot mallos position he says launching

an impeachment during an election cycle could be difficult. now with the release of the redacted report it appears as if it's certainly possible that the position of the democrats may well change i don't think that they have too long before they have to decide one way or the other whether they're going to be commencing impeachment proceedings and of course weighed against that is the fact that the presidential election in the united states is now just eighteen months away it's an obviously difficult thing to be conducting an impeachment inquiry in the middle of a presidential election cycle and also one of the things that may happen as soon as next week once as expected joe biden is likely to enter the presidential race the first question he's going to be asked as the likely front runner just as a list of if warren was asked is the question about whether or not he supports an

effort in the house of representatives to commence impeachment proceedings over the course of the next eighteen months experience on the last time the united states went through this process was now twenty years ago during the impeachment of president bill clinton who as you know was impeached by the house of representatives but acquitted in the united states senate following a trial. the difficulty of impeachment in the united states is that it necessarily requires a two thirds vote which means that both parties have to support it in order for it to be successful there is no current indication that republicans support an impeachment effort and so that effort ultimately would be doomed to failure at least if the objective is to remove the president from office however that may not be the only objective obviously an impeachment proceeding is damaging to the president's reelection prospects and republicans will go to great lengths i suspect in the near term to avoid and try to prevent that from happening. the former

peruvian president alan garcia has been buried in lima the taking his life on wednesday as police arrived to arrest him is the latest casualty of latin america's biggest corruption case where in a sanchez reports from lynn was he planned his suicide in detail just hours before former president telling garcia would be put to rest his daughters luciana read a fair will letter for his children and all peruvians. know they were going to get me home i don't have to accept being humiliated i have seen others walk handcuffed in a miserable existence but alan garcia shall not suffer such injustice and such a circus was. the days before he told university students that would possibly be their last class he told his lawyer his gun would save his honor and he sent

cornell your work if you. really know what anthony.

really her what you're mad. about me that nobody in the third. lot of. the bullet went to the door. or one you haven't found your hundred forty. three people three people. died i know it gave it just try to get the ball to stay quiet and to get the i know he killed the building i am. going on. right there. what. you. think you know something makes it doesn't hurt to go on. everyone's. mind right yours. are moving to go oh.

wait there was a point in that you know when i was hiding my things that. i told myself if i don't make it out that i had to save all that to say in this video. and believe it would catastrophic day in broward county history it's devastating there are folks that have lost their lives i don't know the number right now it's a fluid scene right now we have multiple swat teams where all the buildings it's. sick. i'm speechless i don't know i don't know it said.

he. was. all of you to say that most of the students we stand together and we're not just one voice for this cause you know we're here as family we're here as friends. the. if you stand by saying we need to pass commonsense gun legislation you have chosen to stand and the millions of people marching in this country today will stop until they see those against us out of office because we choose life. since the time that i came out here. it has been six minutes and twenty seconds the

shooter has ceased shooting and will soon abandon his rifle blend in with the students as they escape and walk free for an hour before arrest fight for your lives before it's someone else's child. was. what i wanted freshman year i didn't know many people i didn't have any friends and it wasn't until the last year freshman year that i felt. like i had friends and it was because i picked up my camera and i brought it to school i decided to make of like that. you know it's good you two today were going to be doing a q. and a you guys to ask me questions and. let me research

now i realized my camera was my comfort zone it was a place for me to lay on my worries and preoccupations and just like go of everything that's when i realized a. way of taking care of myself. this past month i saw i saw a dead body you know i went to multiple funerals and i just had to learn how to deal with that. it's been rough i don't like to show my emotions on camera especially i don't. it's been rough but we students are getting through it we're strong. and as filmmaking has this power to just influence other people i decided to video mace project called stories untold so stories untold reposed different videos and

we mainly cover people that have experienced gun violence and we've had up to you to travel across the country and meet so many different people this is christy she's a column on survivor this is omar though god he was the first respondent at the polls shooting i was involved in one of the worse part of the us try to tease out a curve you know better for your nando massacre whatever it is for those people courage bodies laid on top of each other again for a lot of us suffer trauma that we want to express but we just don't how about that to go to. if you had a teacher with who was adept at firearms they could very well end the attack very quickly so we'll be doing the background checks will be doing a lot of different things but we'll certainly be looking at ideas like that. we've

got to make sure we have an increased law enforcement presence on in all of our schools every school so my repos would have a significant long presence in every school out top of that as are school and schools that are larger would have a bigger loss was a presence. back when i was in elementary school or middle school i remember school was the school it's a place where i could walk around where i could feel at home where i could just be me i guess now school starting to feel more like a prison there's so many security guards so many policemen in. the united states has been at least for the last fifty or sixty years the global. power and a leading global power so it has to have a particular kind of brand of of conflict management and this is it it's it's

militarized but i'd never accept that argument about militarization as simply the reason to explain why americans like done so much i think there's also a relationship to not ever having to explain oneself i think that's a part of american culture. but it's also really a part of american identity which is never to apologize. she could walk what she's lazing. high goofball. but. i raised two girls and single dad and i watched it with my own two our kids grow up too fast you know it's hard enough now with what's going on in. my opinion democrats have been all for our guns for many many years trying to do something about guns but it's in our d.n.a.

and in america and they can't get it it's impossible it's like a bad it's a stain on not a bad stain but it's like a stamp that's never going to go away we're always going to have. it was. someone said that it's right this is sad is that she teaches a moral leader training. here at least five or six teachers will be carrying guns i want to see military will you make. me. eat in war you know you have anybody to do. so.

exactly what they're. telling us is down the street from my school and now we have one fire drill every month same with code red every month in code yellow every month once you go on code red you turn off the lights bring down the shade and you go high like to where like if they look in the window they can't see you like one of the walls but we had one on call back on valentine's day and then i texted my sister saying i'm on code red and she's like yeah there's a shooting at douglas and that's when i told my friends and they started freaking out because their siblings go there it's very close and they're very touchy when it comes to that subject of guns because i say you know i support them but they have to be used the right way you can't you can't use them to threaten somebody with or bring them to school to show your friends you know it's not it's not it's not a toy you're so many veterans are coming back. you know that are

very there are guards they become police officers give them a job. just because if he was served our country and here i've been part of his body blown off or shot off amputated or something he'd be a perfect candidate sit in that school inside there in the give give him a gun and he will stop a threat before you have get here in the p.t.s.d. you know. after what they've gone to join the dots to of covers a lot of areas. and only have to pay attention to ten that's also police officers go through that then everybody so there's three ways to to to keep an eye on these people i feel and i'm sure if

they if they let a police officer carry a firearm they could let somebody go in there and a lot of our police officers or ex-military. the. after a traumatic event and we know that one thing that facilitates healthy coping is children feeling like they're safe and so you know i think that the idea is well meaning buy it on the flip side it may also end in for at least send a message that school actually isn't safe. i think for children who've experienced trauma that could be a big trigger or for them and be more stressful than is necessary. i didn't know that.
