a censored version of the report which he says clears donald trump of collusion with russia bars refusing to give further testimony in the house of representatives and could face a vote on contempt unofficial reports from washington. for the first time since the little port was made public america's top. officer faced questions from a senate committee republican chairman lindsey graham a trump supporter admitted he hadn't read the full report can't say i've read it all but i've read most of it but the findings left him with no doubt nor obstruction nor collusion robert mueller was appointed special counsel made twenty seven thousand his task to investigate alleged links between the russians and donald trump's presidential campaign attorney general william barr was given the report in march he says he was surprised there was no recommendation on prosecuting the president for obstruction of justice religious identity fight ten possible instances but he was confident he made the right call and not to press ahead with

the deputy and i felt that the evidence developed by the special counsel was not sufficient to establish that the president committed a crime and therefore it would be irresponsible and unfair for the department to release a report without stating the department's conclusions but robert mueller sent a letter to the attorney general upset at the way he presented his findings ahead of the publication of the redacted report a point not missed by one democrat i think history will judge you harshly bar says a lot of the president's actions were fueled by allegations he felt were wrong and called into question his election when is there any evidence that you're aware of suggests even remotely the president trump is a russian agent none that i'm not aware of this hearing was meant to be about the last presidential election but it was really more about the next one and the republicans who defended bill barr and donald trump and the democrats who attacked them they knew that. the former prosecutor was chasing the democratic presidential

nomination she was amazed bill barr did not look at the underlying evidence before making his final decision i think it's my experience that it's not like if you have got out as we did of mine all the two main mostly civil one democratic senator said bill barr should resign now the american people know that you are no different from rudy giuliani or kellyanne conway or. any of the other people who sacrifice or was decent reputation for the grafter and liar who sits in the oval office go to rose william but insisted the president could have halted the mill inquiry at any point because it was based on false allegations which this was a difficult day for the attorney general the house of representatives also wants him to give evidence the committee chairman says he won't be calling robert mueller as a new witness he says this is over but it's not alan fischer i'll just read up on capitol hill washington well democrats are looking to issue a subpoena to force william bars and make that second appearance i was traditionally chairman jerry says the attorney general is too afraid to give

evidence because he has been quote dishonest. he is trying to blackmail the community into not following what we think is the most effective means of. getting the information we need and the congress cannot permit the executive branch we cannot permit the administration to dictate to congress how we operate i think the i think he's going to have to answer for apparently testifying and truthfully in both the senate and the house and that's certainly one option is terrified of having to face a skilled attorney. mozambique is urging people in the northeast of the country to find higher ground it's feared more rain is expected in the coming days and it'll war some flooding caused by cycle it's the second storm in six weeks to lash the southern african coast it's already killed at least forty one people out of what are some reports in the city of panda. this church in the coastal town of came by

has opened its doors to almost one thousand displaced men women and children. the dogs we received information in our area that we should have back away to a safer place that night i grabbed my family and came here is the first time two cycles of hit mozambique in one season. heavy rain and flooding is expected to continue for the rest of the week those on the coastline have moved inland and on to higher ground sister rosa martin to silver has seen a sharp rise in the number of people turning up at a school with nowhere else to go. over there is the river and there it was water all around so this was the area where people sought refuge those whose houses were getting flooded have been coming here yesterday received two hundred fifteen people in the united nations on cheese day confirm that nearly thirty five thousand homes in mozambique have been destroyed leaving hundreds of thousands of people without shelter food and drinking water and at risk of diseases

like malaria and cholera more way and i expect that in the coming days which will worsen fruiting the much towards and end of humanitarian access more challenging in water affected areas people have lost everything they are is the death toll will rise some homes that used to be in this area are washed the way. as the rain intensified it caused my slides and that landfill site over there collapsed on top of some of the houses locals say some people are still missing. steve lost his home in the flooding he and his neighbors are assessing damage course they village. i'm alone and asking for help to build a new house i have two children and a wife i don't have anybody to assist you and some people have chosen to stay in their homes but for some of those that do they respond cut off needed aid and with more tarantulas rain and flooding on the way aid agencies say they're facing

a critical situation they are in desperate need of more funds. mozambique. is joining us live now from a boreland in mozambique how do we just been watching you report there and some of the pictures are absolutely extraordinary describe to us what you're seeing at the moment. when michael mears about a three hour drive from pam was when the air is worst affected by the cycle and this community the houses were already poorly both the wind came the water and the heavy winds a lot of them one knocked over completely destroyed or you see the power lines also brought down many people in this community we're told were injured even killed now it's been really difficult trying to get aid into this part of the country finally because the roads have been so bad so it isn't coming in very very very slowly and there's about the first lot that has just arrived from one of the aid agencies is mainly maize meal and people have been lining up for

a couple of hours now waiting for this lead to come in as you know a couple of days i mean families have added much to the cycle on his last two weeks as many women and children who get help first and then the main but the aid workers their main concern is trying to reach people in more remote areas that have could only be reached by air and that of course depends on the weather it stopped raining briefly for dollars so we've seen a few more planes and helicopters flying around trying to deliver that aid the concern of course is if it starts raining that of course will hold true leaflets which means people who are stranded can't get the help they need as quickly as they can out or in some of those situations that we've covered before one of the biggest problems of course is the possible spread of disease what other problems the agencies and the people of the island facing. well mozambique is already one of the poorest countries in the world food insecure a lot of people if they see children. so the concern is that the clone destroyed

a lot of crops belonging to some of the poorest people in the region one example united nations worker who when they managed to save a community that was so remote so cut off they found a young boy about twelve years old who was so thin. that he had to be in good to a hospital in pain by and that's just one child from one family and many more people like that many more of the problem is no one really knows we need people who need help the government is trying to save them a danger to them but i like to paint of course the way that you think over the can so that it could start ringing again if that happens that's going to take really put out of things very much new. sudan's warring parties is said to hold talks and aimed at ending the six use civil war the meeting comes just days ahead of a deadline to form a unity government in south sudan president salva kiir rebel leader and other
