counsel robert muller's four hundred forty eight page report he says and i quote the russian government interfered in the twenty six thousand presidential election in sweeping and systematic fashion it's been more than a week since it was released to congress and to the public and yet we've heard not one single word of condemnation of the russian government from president trump why not. well first of all this is a process so these are things that we have to take a look at also why isn't anyone asking the russian government about these sorts of things why aren't they making their comments on this secondly the most important thing is there was no crimes committed by anyone around the trump administration that had anything to do with this this is clearly a distraction as we've talked about many times before trump is exonerated he did nothing wrong and this has been a huge huge distraction if there are problems with our democracy in terms of

interference foreign interference something should be done and there are investigations going on in congress about this now you are right to say that he was not accused of committing a crime in relation to russia by robert obstruction of justice is another matter we will come to that in a moment but before we do you said this is a process i think he doesn't have time as he's doing other things he's found time over the last week president trying to attack robert muller and his team he's attacked the democrats he's accuse them of treason he's attacked c.n.n. he's demanded the new york times get on its knees and apologize to me that attacked mitt romney he's attacked the f.b.i. is dead he cuts no one want from him knowing that whatsoever that the russian government launched an attack on american democracy the president says doesn't seem to care. oh no no you understand why the russians did trump the democrats did so the airports jacking back as we talked about many times. rule and that is if you would always even go into it has about himself and i want to thank. you i do it go

you said the russians didn't talk out and over they attacked the united states that's what melissa says imagine if a president of the people who've been going to hold a foreign attack on the us you would be up in homes very good maybe obama knew that this was happening and did nothing so why didn't he say something so don't push this on trump you know that that's not fair well i know it's going to cost it is in seven days since the record came out why has he not condemned a sweeping and systematic attack on american democracy very all that the president of the united states said not a word about it he's busy attacking the new york times and mitt romney. you know no come on this is partisan attack and you know and i say clearly if you're going to attack a sovereign power you need to have more information than simply what miller wrote in the report this is not going to go away you know that i'm going to if you like the bit that clearly is your chance to show how much anything i've conceded the report since he did not criminal russia you're ignoring the bit which doesn't want

to talk to american and the president doesn't carry during because i tell you mark you know what you said he only has one people actually not you said it people watching something about himself that you're to a sting my words now many people listen carefully what i'm saying is what i'm saying is that when that report came out there is a way that we deal with these things and that's investigations ok differently also have the right for the. ok here's a question and come out with concrete facts there are facts of this in the very fine let's say why not by the russian government by private russian citizens and you not it's not true the report makes it very clear that it's russian military. intelligence those are not private citizens ma please don't get out of us geo you're not private. you're twisting things you just said private citizens stop saying twisting i'm quoting your right can we agree this was russian military intelligence reports four hundred pages like you said maybe there's

a lot in there so what is your point do we both agree that it wasn't russian private citizens involved in the election it was russian military intelligence you were wrong to say they were russian private citizens they were also russian private citizens. and if you know what is your real point here very simple point you just said it was only private citizens i'm saying can we agree it was russian military intelligence hacked into the democratic national committee according to the report according to the mother report that's right the mother of all it says that the campaign welcomed the hacking and wouldn't think about it if i'm not the president being accused of that you would be up in arms don't you remember history when george bush also had this back to where they went to the british intelligence and tried on clinton. everyone does this trying to claim to be trying to get from russian military intelligence let me ask you this when you let me also his question just to be clear the president's lawyer rudy giuliani said

a few days ago quote there's nothing wrong with taking information from russians and you seem to be suggesting everyone already or anybody else ok so you're both in agreement you in the eyes of your so on that basis come to twenty twenty lection are you really there for ok with buddy saunders or joe biden or whoever the democratic presidential candidate is calling for china to hock donald trump's emails or his tax returns are. you ok with. this kids holding a secret meeting with the representatives of the iranian government to get dirt on donald trump are you ok with that seriously. have you never worked on a campaign before you know how this works you dig up dirt where you can get it and there is nothing illegal about it and you have. evidence there is a ok that is exactly my question so you are ok with the democratic candidate next china please hack donald trump's e-mails you're ok with. that is not why donald trump he did not go to the they have truly said things rochelle find hillary

clinton's e-mails he said in front of our always log you want gas you know if you are kind of. gaslighting is what you're doing right now ok with the democratic presidential candidate next year. for the chinese government to hack into donald trump's tax return you are ok with that please just confirm yes or no it's a very simple question so sarcasms part of the english language they can say is there and are you ok with the democratic presidential candidates children meeting with members of the iranian government to get on donald trump yes or no look it's. very simple are you a favor of a yes or no should was. getting them off the middle are you ok what are you really trying to assess a very study really trying to say it's very simple it's not a very uncivil to do you know what i could do you in rudy giuliani everyone does it you can get foreign investment you get foreign help in the e-mails from foreigners how can the democrats also do that next year tit for tat you're going to have

everyone i'm going to say it one more time people have the right to meet with who they want to and if you're going to go around spying on people and put eavesdropping spying equipment on it and that is why they're on anyone i must say you're ok with the democrats doing just in terms of how much president trump undermine this investigation of misled the public this is what he was saying not long ago about the russian involvement i want to give you i want to play something to you if you can listen this is what he was saying not long ago about the russian involvement but clearly documents and by the way folks just in case you like curious. no russia did not help me ok russia why call it the russian hoax he was wrong about he was wrong about mocking lloyd mother in the intelligence he was not wrong about that no one changed their boat because of a facebook page that's not what he said. he said he did or. did i just played the clip ball no russia did not help me. help did he won it by himself this is

what the court says very explicitly that russia intervene to help donald trump even rudy giuliani conceded not well to help not travel where you twisting your words around because russia did not change anybody's mind people voted for don't try to take this election away let's try another one here let's try to convince good let's keep it as simple as possible the nearly times reportedly that donald trump ordered the firing of in the summer of twenty seven t. the president denied it in fact this is what he said in davos at the time which is stick with him because the york times big stories we now know from the matter of that was another lie from donald trump melissa substantial evidence that the president tried to have mother removed from his job don't mcgann the president's lawyer says he was asked to remove her from his job trump lied again what's your question why did he lie. how do i know i'm not representing the president but you know that you accept the law and sure enough that's

a lie right that he lied i said he said it was fake news that he tried to fire we now know that he did try to what do you say this whole show about you're trying to say it's about the law is about the mother of all you've heard of it's four hundred forty eight pages not about the relative report it's not actually in reading from the mother. i mean iterating page eighty eight of the mother report substantial evidence however supports that the president went and in fact directed him again to call rosenstein the deputy attorney general to have the special counsel removed so donald trump was lying in davos do we agree on that then we can move on. if this is absurd because of what happened in the mole the report is in fact be exaggeration of trump and now we need to look at how this was created in the first place let's move forward. you learn best. for nothing so very simple question you can say you don't know but i'm to call the white house and ask you many you're going to really waste all this time on these picky little things when you should be looking at the bigger picture. in which. rush up but he didn't exonerate him on instruction of

justice he very explicitly said we are not exonerating him trump said it's a complete and total exoneration why did he lie about the report again that it doesn't exonerate him. you love that word lie but you do it all right here on your view is going to. it's a very simple question but what the report says it does not exonerate the question you asked is trying to keep them as simple as this is simple and yet says it does not exonerate him from says total exoneration is that not a lie to say that a report exonerates you when the report explicitly says it doesn't help me out here big report said no crime was done here and it's not say that magic john is very high you are lying to all of us he says let's try again while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime it also does not exonerate areas. well i gave obstruction of justice to congress to decide he says i'm not taking

a decision of struction of justice but here's the evidence for it tell you he should. have maybe he wanted to keep this whole thing open court and that's just by it's completely political whitewash in the no that's funny because if it's a political what was he saying that he wasn't exonerated in russia so he was so he may still have been involved in a conspiracy with the russians right according to you if we dismiss the mother report then trump could still be a russian asset or are you cherry picking to be ridiculous. it would only includes the president of russia does cooler look like that part of it and i'm asking but it also suggests he's guilty of obstruction of justice i'm just wondering why you're picking and choosing from a four hundred forty eight page report i'm not i'm with you on the i'm saying you're right it has cleared him in russia i'm saying let's talk about the obstruction and what do we structure of justice ten cases in the report i just told you it clear. there was thirty something million dollars spent on those two years muller investigated everybody all over the place not. president trump tweeted this

week quote if the partisan dems the democrats ever tried to impeach i would first head to the u.s. supreme court what does that mean what do you do at the u.s. supreme court you're going to have to ask the president well. he has a legal strategy and if you want to know what that is then you should call the white house but the impeachment is not a legal case it's a political case by the house of representatives the senate the constitution makes very clear it's only for the senate and the house to decide impeachment supreme court doesn't play a role but we're actually in claiming the supreme court has a role to play. the house starts impeachment process and the senate has to ratify yes the supreme court can weigh in all sorts of things as they like it happen that's not true we're sure the supreme court in one thousand nine hundred three said impeachment is only in the senate and nowhere else nobody thinks. all sorts of things will be good and if the senate can go on the supreme court plays no role in impeachment you know it and i know it i don't know why you're defending the president i said. i said the supreme court can weigh in on it how are you. going to

go away isn't supreme no role in the impeachment process if there is impeachment and it was found that the process in the house or the senate was not done just. then supreme court. by the way just for our view is that's not true it's not in the constitution we just said we had three wait that we have. pietschmann is our only senate and house and peter has nothing to say you know the you know i know that but you'll forced to do it a president you told me earlier you don't want to defend him now you are defending him we gave you i had a lot of. a lot of people say you shouldn't have tried. because they said no let's give them a chance to come on and talk about you don't want to talk about it what can i do we tried very hard i'm trying to talk about it you're talking about these ridiculous little things rather than what's actually going out but we'll have to agree to disagree that obstruction of justice and lying to american people is

a little thing but thank you for joining me on outfront appreciate you taking time out thanks betty here. this year is the fortieth anniversary of the iranian revolution and this week u.s. president donald trump continued to try and isolate iran by moving to cut off its oil revenues earlier i spoke with iranian dissident nobel peace laureate and human rights lawyer surely nobody began by asking her how she feels about a revolution she once supported. that joe who he is lonely. is said. to me to see. if i have. a home a need a cobbler's incubate on. zebo boat in the gulf have hours. have a whole body get i'm all been amassing here be it on bag asked what that the see how many it have. to rule.

the whole year into that. you're known around the world these days is one of the most high profile iranian dissidents a supporter of the various reform movements inside of iran but recently you seem to have hardened you will stomp you now reforming the system won't work you've called it useless you said you want regime change in tehran why. these sudden the. whole you more that if that iran touch of a shirt but in cuba even in regime your mission is now. i'm all having a pleasure maharshi test or what that's funny. he is still here that is gone so that now it if my going to get on us or see of us

machine. in court east. of us city mad bomb iran but that the really so that big. man more to have the that hard a genius son amal. tackett me when i am well known asshole see if it be he channel is still hurting him con position is. an issue and. you said you don't condone any foreign intervention but you do want to change the regime and change the constitution aren't you worried that when you talk about changing the government you're only encouraging the hawks in washington d.c. in tel aviv in riyadh aren't you worried about a potentially devastating attack on iran from the u.s. given the aggressive and tyranny and rhetoric that we hear from donald trump from mike pompei or from john bolton are you perhaps unwittingly playing into their

hands. to see don. let me turn as he's on difficulty but that in the whole thought of which now when. i get on some of the give. to get under when i was. in service of whether a conventional way or see how to push i need one more hard lifted nor the color let that hearted see that you don. that takes me quite on. having it on us. while in calling on us all see. he snow is still hearty that you don't and con. one thing you do support the trump is always talking about and threatening more of our sanctions against iran but you say you want sanctions

that don't hurt the iranian people what kind of sanctions are those that even possible. attack imply huskey must only turns a fabric when it rains care to let it on television of course is one that a kid really is satellite. we. buy them a pass for when it. is somehow doesn't satisfy total budget on my mobile can it get on well i'm going to have to go to sure. that's what but putting sanctions on satellites or on foreign channels it's not going to bring down the iranian government you yourself said it has a very strong military it's been around for forty years that's pretty mild in terms of what you say you want to achieve but a. fake nikolay. should totally shake. as devil on. this suit he needs

the pressure on the army to hand over power to somebody. twenty five years since the end of apartheid but many people are angry little has changed since that historic day. for the most talked about young player in baseball makes major league. detroit's. welcome to the program president as two groups accused of being involved in the easter sunday bombings which killed more than two hundred fifty people well that follows more raids and arrests across the island on friday night police say suspects opened fire and set off bombs during a search leaving fifteen people dead it happened in the eastern town of common i a twenty four hour curfew has now been imposed around the area for as many reports.

the hunt for suspects after the easter sunday bombings let's three lankan security forces to this neighborhood in the town of on the east coast. shortly after they arrived they say they came under attack a gun battle ensued and some of the fighters are said to have set up explosions in a house where at least fifteen bodies including that of children have to be recovered. the argument that we believe at least three people died from the suicide bomb inside regarding the civilians who lived in the town as they were probably family members a mother and daughter were taken to the nearest hospital. when soldiers raided what they had identified as a safe house in another area district they found explosives. bomb making materials a suicide vest and an eyeful more rates are expected. at st anthony's trying in colombo cleaning crews have replaced the emergency teams that were here just a few days ago they've begun to play out the desperate from the blasts as soldiers

got the premises with fears of more attacks sunday services have been suspended indefinitely security remains tight especially around mosques and churches nearby businesses have closed their doors. will be mounted to thank them for what has always been we were. just three days before they would just go by boat ask the search continues for more of those behind the easter sunday attacks this surveillance video has been released it shows one of the bombers entering the kingsbury hotel in the capital colombo carrying a backpack he checks in and goes to his room he would later walk back down and detonate his explosives the owner of another targeted her tells spoke with another man who also later set off a bomb. very good three of them had a woman that i didn't mean he came and asked for

a room we gave one to him it was just for twenty four hours he gave his identity card in the passport and pretended to be visiting from abroad he had a big bag and a handbag. the government continues to face criticism for failing to prevent the attacks despite warnings weeks before the bloodshed but officials say they fear more suspects with access to explosives are still on the loose. joins us live now from columbus just bring us up to date with these latest arrests in the gumbo in the ongoing developments across the country. police have conducted more raids they've made more arrests now in they conducted raids in a predominantly muslim neighborhood. if you will remember is one of the towns that was attacked on sunday and one of those people arrested in the deputy mayor there was also an arrest in the town of trincomalee on the east coast navy police said

the man they arrested had on him gel explosives as well as more than two hundred detonators these are worrying developments because they lend more weight to what the government authorities have been warning the possibility of attacks now in the east coast is also where police were conducting house to house searches today that's just after the gun battle a gun battle of that erupted and of course given the worrying developments of the past twenty four hours the government the president has taken the step to battle to extremist organizations one of them is the national. the national the government blames a group of this organization for carrying out the attack and it also says that it's looking to ban other extremist organizations but it hasn't named which ones and so these are developments we're keeping an eye on in sri lanka meanwhile a curfew remains in parts of the country as the police continue their search for more suspects and i worried. people about the continuing security situation.

well the people of sri lanka have been through a lot more than they live in the civil war that last twenty six years the fighting only ended ten years ago so a lot of people still remember what it was like to live under emergency provisions if you remember sri lanka is now back on a limited state of emergency but really the security presence we felt really increased even in the last twenty four hours when we arrived about a week ago there were already armed soldiers on the street. now in the last twenty four hours there have been a lot more checks that we. have felt or have been subjected to the navy police came over to look to check our identification papers our van last night along a two kilometer stretch was stopped five times and we had to show our identification papers and the people in say that you know they would just beginning

to enjoy a decade of peace in the civil war had ended and you know this is said it's not just a guy it's the fear of what's going to happen in the chair but there's also a sense of weariness that they may have to live through another period of. security threats again. every day florence thank you let's bring in sri lankan human rights lawyer do not select in oxford via skype the state of emergency after the east to bomb attacks grants the sri lankan security forces these sweeping new powers and sets new media restrictions critics say look this could enable abuse of civil liberties abuse of human rights how much of a problem could this be do you think. so the government has at least three. agenda as a priority is that it needs to philip right now one of course is the priority to investigate into the attacks and find out more about the traitors collect and

that's the second priority would be to prevent further attacks of that nature and you seeing those and the police in india in operations in the hope of preventing such attacks the turn priority of course is to prevent reprisal attacks and prevent communal unrest because that is there's a serious risk of that also taking place with these three priorities having to field similar to any of that the government does have a lot on its plate so these particular emergency regulations do give the power to engage in these initiatives focusing on publication and newspapers the media is a is a full front i think that the government kind of opened to the times right now and it's not important point to make because authorities had already imposed a social media ban after the bombings i mean how worrying is this given the impact it has on putting that press freedom and free speech in the country. i think

a temporary ban many will see as reasonable if there was a risk of incitement to violence via social media not a band that focuses on mean stream media sources and newspapers particularly new sources that might carry reasonable criticism of the government for its incompetence or delay in responding to these attacks or preventing the next in fact i think that would be a reason for an excessive and there is certainly some warning that the emergency regulations would be used for that kind of agenda and then we saw a precedence for this sort of clampdown after the nine eleven attacks and two thousand and one the u.s. government commenced surveillance on mosques and parts of the muslim community racial profiling etc and in sri lanka we've already seen hundreds of muslims free their homes since the bomb attacks delish limbs and got a right to feel very worried right now i think quite rightly they will feel worried

because there is. that is targeting the community as a whole. and criminalizing little entire muslim community for these particular attacks i think that is going to be a worry because prejudice kept and to ensure the narrative going forward the muslim community has already faced similar. rhetoric and he'd speak in the past so and should the muslim community members of the muslim community. about the future then going to look at thank you very much indeed for talking to al-jazeera they're welcome. now sudan's opposition is hopeful of reaching a deal with the military on transferring power a delegation representing protest is meant to demand a civilian led government the military formed a transitional body this month after forcing former president bashir to step down as the latest from khartoum what more details are emerging about this first meeting of the military civilian committee and and how far apart are both sides do you

think. that they are. signing an agreement with the transitional military. might claim that. we are. at the point where people have been says. that the begun they've been. what they've. been which is out of the civilian is done according to some. little. thing got there about the legal issues on that that is done a lot for the listener. not going to leave it. at that point. that everybody knows that if it goes

to the front. but not the nine. hundred forty one people to listen to little i do not believe one minute a little look. at the lead up to the long haul yet and at all they didn't and that i'll pull out the. old model once you get all full on not doubt they have seen doubt they are that he will not tell you from doing these. come through they want mulled wine and that's why they want for you is the solution a miniature council estate and on the transitional period of two years old by election the full they are putting out bulletin issues but everyone is an acronym and not a piece of steel intell and mamma does one of the big problem here is that the protesters want to write a secular constitution but muslim preaches according to.
