11:00 am
now in recent times with all of the reconciliation that's been going on these exercises have been scaled back and sidra billy they don't involve so many troops on the ground so many air craft in the sky and so on but the exercise is still going ahead and north korea has been very critical of this in recent times in state run media over the past couple of weeks so this does seem to be a way of showing its displeasure also the timing of it could be significant with john bolton the national security adviser from the u.s. just completing a visit to japan and also to south korea 2 of the u.s. is very important allies in this part of the world has them and where those negotiations stand between the u.s. and the u.k. and a sense and north korea rather where things stand on that. we do tend we do seem to be again in one of these lulls in this stop start process as
11:01 am
you mentioned their expectations were heightened with the surprise meeting on the d.m.z. between donald trump and kim jong un just nearly a month ago now with the announcement that say yes things were back on track we're going to have working level talks to get negotiations underway again we're still waiting for those working level talks to happen my pompei o has said that they could well happen in july while july is running out and what you do get a sense that patience on the north korean side is once again running out kim jong un has given a deadline of the end of this year for some sort of resolution of the ongoing ongoing sanctions against north korea and so this does seem to be a further warning that yes these are only short range missiles we're not seeing a return to the intercontinental ballistic missile testing or nuclear testing so it still gives donald trump the chance to say that his. signature piece of foreign
11:02 am
policy is still on track but it is a warning that time is running out that north korea still has a nuclear arsenal and still could if it shows return to the testing of the past as i'm. brian thank you. now former u.s. special counsel robert muller has told congress his report did not exonerate president donald trump of obstruction of justice and he says trump could be prosecuted once he's out of office when i was testifying at 2 different hearings in congress about his investigation into russian interference in the 2016 presidential election mike hanna is live for us now in washington and mike as far as the reaction to miller's testimony suppose it depends on who you talk to and and how hard pinions have already been formed about him and and his investigation and whether this. simply harden those opinions or change them.
11:03 am
indeed yes well the idea of the congressional democrats was that they would publicize miller's report one that has not being that widely read around the country they want to highlight sections of it that they thought would add to their efforts to bring some kind of investigation to fruition against president trump they did not fully succeed but then neither did the republicans and terms of repudiating the contents of miller's report essentially what you had in the course of the day was a bunch of people attempting to make a man take a political position and a man who was absolutely insistent that he was not going to do so robert miller at times has a tent still highlighted some critical factors in his investigation against president trump and against russian interference in the u.s. electoral process. it was in president trump's eyes
11:04 am
a victory lap appearing on the white house lawn to repeat his assertion that he'd been vindicated in dismissing the investigation one that he claimed had placed a phony cloud over his presidency i think everybody understands that i think everybody understands what's going on there was no defense for this ridiculous hold this witch hunt that's been going on for. a long time. earlier the special counsel was careful to show no bias to one side of the other disappointing those who wanted him to enlarge on his findings that there were 10 different acts that could be seen as the president obstructing justice what they largely got was this refer to the report on the next because along with the response that's trending on twitter as a new way of saying politely go away i take your question but he did confirm the
11:05 am
president has not been telling the truth about the investigation so the report did not include he did not commit it to actually genesis. thank you for that is correct and what about total exoneration if you actually totally exonerate the present you know now in fact your reports expressly states that it does not exonerate the person it does republicans previously defended the president he said donald trump is not above the law he's not but he did i'm sure shouldn't be below the law which is where volume 2 of this report puts him the former special counsel did seem to indicate the president could still face trouble from his report could you charge the president with a triumph after he left office yes you believe that he committed you could charge the president on stage with obstruction of justice after he left office yes in an evening news conference house democrats continue to reject the view of the president and his republican supporters and were insistent that miller's
11:06 am
questioning was a crucial part of a congregational investigative process that could end in impeachment why i'd like it to be a strong case is because i don't it's based on the facts the facts in the law that's what matters not politics not partisanship just patriotism after a day that highlighted the political division in congress one thing is clear the investigation into president trump will not end with robert miller so where does all of this go from here then mike. well the democrats are going to continue their investigation as there are a number of house committees that are continuing various investigation into president trump and those close to him that will continue we heard from the speaker of the house nancy pelosi now she strongly resisted bringing impeachment proceedings at this stage she is well aware of one fundamental point and that effectively at the end of impeachment proceedings it is up to the senate to they
11:07 am
become the court in an impeachment case the senate of course dominated by republicans and she does not want to take a case to the senate that would be rejected that would cause political blowback for the democrats in the 2020 elections at the same time within the democrats she's got a body of followers who are intent on bringing impeachment proceedings this is beginning to rip the party apart so for the house speaker it's a very difficult thing to balance all of these factors but the point that she made there appeared to be a slight movement away from her inflexibility about the impeachment process making very clear that if there is going to be such a process it is going to be based on strong facts facts that she said even a republican senate could not repudiate but that is where we going to go in the weeks months possibly even years ahead mike hanna thank you. good sugarman is professor of war fordham university he says it is likely the
11:08 am
democrats will increase their efforts to build a stronger case against the president. i think the key thing today is that i think more democrats i don't think this moves republicans at all but they were never going to be moved by today anyway and i think what happens is that coming out of today democrats may be more galvanized i think that there were enough moments and i think you saw there was a press conference where nancy pelosi adam schiff. gerald now adler and allies are cummings all appeared together and even though they didn't say anything about bringing in starting a formal impeachment inquiry i think there was a show of unity about next steps i think it's possible that more of the democratic caucus says ok look we need to move forward in some way i think it's more likely we get to a formal impeachment inquiry even if that doesn't get us to and it piecemeal vote that is important legally because the next thing the democrats are doing they're
11:09 am
litigating over subpoenas tax returns financial records it's a stronger legal case in court if those subpoenas are connected to a impeachment inquiry because those high crimes and misdemeanors stated by an inquiry are important for overriding the administration's assertions of things like quote executive privilege or the attorney client privilege i think lawyers are aware in the house for the house committees that they need that house impeachment inquiry to strengthen these next steps for getting those documents a president has vetoed 3 measures to block on sales to saudi arabia and the united arab emirates over the war in yemen while expressing his concern for civilian casualties in the conflict trump says congressional efforts to block weapons sales would damage relationships with key allies in may he a bypass congress to sell more than $8000000000.00 in weapons to the gulf states. a

11:23 am
a special committee within its board to put an end to privacy decisions being made solely by chief executive mark zuckerberg facebook stock rose shortly after the fine was announced and that rise in facebook's share price has prompted criticism from democrats in the u.s. that the fine is too small f.t.c. chairman joe simon says current legislation isn't good enough to effectively police silicon valley our authority in these types of cases is quite limited which is why we have encouraged congress to consider federal privacy legislation but for now the only real world choice here was to take a historic settlement that provides immediate and important protection to american consumers or wait for years to get far less relief which stoltz is an attorney who focuses on anti trust and competition policy at the electronic frontier foundation he joins us from san francisco thanks very much for being with us so $5000000000.00
11:24 am
is a lot of money but it's not that much money for facebook is it did they did they get a slap on the wrist did they get off easy 5000000000 sounds like a lot but compared to facebook's annual revenues and profits it's not very much the more even more importantly the parts of the settlement the deal with facebook's future conduct are really lacking the settlement doesn't restrict the way that facebook can use collect and share people's personal information and we're talking billions of people 2 plus a 1000000000 users plus even people who don't use facebook this element also provides no transparency into facebook's privacy practices or even any transparency into facebook's compliance with the settlement. so what sort of a message does this send to the tech industry as a whole that i think it sends
11:25 am
a message that regulators are interested in privacy but are not really willing to go. change the incentives that companies like facebook have to collect and share personal information about billions of people so it doesn't it does they need to be at completely examination of the how how. tech companies are handled by the government is there is a need to be great to regulatory palli i think so there needs to be as chairman simon said a new comprehensive privacy legislation at the federal level and potentially at the state level in the united states there also needs to be good strong added trust and force them and that is capable of looking at modern internet companies in a holistic way is there an appetite in this current administration to do that
11:26 am
though there might be there is bipartisan support for more careful regulation of the technology industry clued in both at the trust and force moment and privacy regulations so i think it's possible that we'll see movement on both of those fronts but this and that the announcement by the f.c.c. was clearly not enough good to get your thoughts on this mitch stoltz thanks for being with us. at least 14 civilians have been killed in an strikes on syria's province comes just 2 days after one of the worst attacks on the rebel held area when several strikes on a market in southern italy left more than 40 people dead syria's government began an offensive to retake the province nearly 3 months ago in a hall it has more. than. ahmed is struggling to please.
