2:17 am
investigation into donald trump's 2016 presidential campaign special council, joan darn. it says the federal agency liked evidence and relied too heavily on trump's political opponents. the investigation dumped the cross by a hurricane looks into potential context between trumps election team and its links with the prussia and trump is urging congress to take action describing it on social media as treason and the crime of the century will probably come find as lawn for us that live for us in washington, dc, and petty along the way, his report with all sorts of promises of corruption and scandal. can you tell us a little bit more about the findings exactly. donald trump, when he was president and his people actually pointed john durham, he said that he was going to uncover this massive conspiracy and it was going to be the crime of the century. so he's keeping the phrase is going. so what is the fact to be fine after 4 years and this 300 page report was that the crime of the century?
2:18 am
was it a conspiracy? know, the way you judge whether or not these sorts of investigations are effective is what they yield in court. and when it came to the 4 years durham only actually put 3 people faced through people, charges gets 3 people, 2 of them were acquitted. one a very low level figure and the f. b, i a put guilty to falsifying information on an e mail. he didn't even serve time in jail, but what do you say now durham in this report is that the initial investigation shouldn't have started, but they didn't have proper information. but i think it's important. remember that that initial investigation, a crossfire hurricane, that eventually led to the special council, robert miller, his investigation. and that really did produce results, very serious fines. and so what he's basically saying is, well, investigate, she was, was very successful and rooted out free, free,
2:19 am
striking corruption at wrong doing just should have been started because they didn't have the basic information from it. what are the political ramifications here? obviously trump is running again. so presidents total fillers or implications for trump when it comes to scandal. the know there are not ever are me. let's just think about this. he was just found guilty of battery and a woman and defaming her. it was to hold by a jury that he had to pay her $5000000.00. he's facing the 37 felony counts of manhattan in relation to his business dealings there. he's under investigation in atlanta for voter interference. the biggest peril for donald trump, though is what's happening with special counsel jack smith in washington. he's looking not only at whether or not trump had a part in the actual insurrection of the us capitol, trying to stop the certification of the election. but not only that, he's now also looking at a range of classified documents that donald trump took from the white house and
2:20 am
then is alleged to have tried to conceal that from investigators. so has any of this hurt trump? no, his supporters tend to believe what he says, he says it's a which he says it's trees and they don't necessarily are void. they're not necessarily gonna go well, there's no facts to support that. they're going to believe the president. and that is clear because not only with all of these scandals, he's facing all of this legal carol, he's using it to fundraise and he's doing that successfully. and in the polls, he is still by far, republicans, number one choice to take up the nomination for the 2020 for presidential election day. thank you so much, petty, that is petty caroline for us in washington dc. well, let's bring in clear finkelstein. she is the elegant on middle professor of law and professor of philosophy at university of pennsylvania law school. she assisted in the represent representation of one of the witnesses in the investigation and joins us from philadelphia. thank you very much for being on al jazeera. now as we hear the little just being made,
2:21 am
that there was very little new in the report that we didn't already know. what is your take on it as well. i haven't finished reading the report is it just dropped to a few hours ago. and in fact, i was a pen in law graduation when it hit. but um, from what i can see so far on the porch that republicans are likely to get most exercised about it and say that there were concerns about the crossfire hurricane investigation. are there concerns about the way that special counsel molar conducted hills investigation? those parts have already been discussed already been identified in particular. there was an inspector general report of the harlots report several years ago that do identify some issues with the carter page. finds a warrant in particular that there have been the fact that
2:22 am
a quarter page has already been tapped as an f. b. i. informant that that has not been disclosed. when the a 5 of warrant application was made that was already identified in the hardwoods worked, it was a matter of concern. and i think that that report actually was fairly hard hitting, even though the quarter page 5 of one was found by inspector general for which to have been well, frederick hated as they say in the end, but it just did cost some soul searching. and some attempt at revision in the bias of process as a result of that report. she or some of the concerns that the during report raises were already flags before. so my impression so far is that there isn't a whole lot new here that hasn't been,
2:23 am
i've done to it in the last half hour. so trump is come out and doubled down basically saying this is a totally legal act as treason as the crime of the century. can you just clarify this, this completely clear trump when it comes to the claim that he conspired with russia? you know, i don't think it does. so this is an investigation into how crossfire hurricane was initiated, how it got going, and what information was eventually handed off, how crossfire hurricane got handed off to the miller team. so it's about that whole process. and there is an awful lot of overlap between the various campaigns and russia. and the report shows just the complexity of those relations. it's going to take quite a while to wade through it,
2:24 am
but i don't think it's any kind of wind for donald trump or for his frank campaign that he says it is okay. we're going to have to leave it there. thank you so much for your time. that is clear, finkelstein at the university of pennsylvania little professor. thank you. thank you. the palestinians have much 75 years since the neck about also known as the catastrophe best when hundreds of thousands of palestinians were forcibly expelled from the huns to make way for the establishment of the state of israel. as he, the abraham reports from the occupied with bank people being mocked to die with protests and cultural events. 75 years of waiting inspired this. our tour palestinian artists are using new mediums to talk about their
2:25 am
history and their future. within 20 palestinian and international artists participated in dislike submission, organized on the anniversary of the neck by the date in 1948 when hundreds of thousands of palestinians were forcibly displaced from their land. so the state of israel could be created. they moved away from there. yeah, and that's why you see this assign infinity. it's like aids because it's ongoing. and how much about it organized this event? 3 years he's been using art to highlight palestinians, the struggles under his read the occupation submit and help us the 1st name and none of them. i refused to portray the policy. and in reality, as an alternative narrative, it's already i lead to this as they have propaganda. sometimes we think the walls knows the story,
2:26 am
but they don't comics are one of the tools to wish them is right. at least have made it into international studios like marvel comics, and managed to tech is right in the super heroes. global was 1st and 2nd generation refugees could not return home. many people here are pending their hopes on younger palestinians have a very strong belief in this generation, this very stubborn. they'll do anything for their rights that is stronger than out generation for them. palestine is historic, palestine in double a demonstration took place in the city. senator. thousands of people are gathering here today and they say no matter how much time has passed the next, but they will continue fighting for the right. the processing is more kids. another year of displacement another year on their
2:27 am
occupation. and you get to another affirmation of rights that seem to exist on the in words and not on the ground. me that but he added just eat a demo deal if you're part westbank to the gym and also our series has been palestinian protests for a 2nd. here in a row posted in organizations were planning to commemorate knock by the police side . i said these protests could turn violent and become anti semitic. state boston has moved from portland they will risk in arrest by gathering and boom and to commemorate knock by day. and it wasn't long before police intervene and started questioning them. germany has a large population of palestinians, but they say their rights to express themselves have increasingly been curtailed. it's like the old ways, the excuse. what is read is making crimes against humanity. just talking about the sensitivity of germany and the guilt of germany. i do understand this and my heart
2:28 am
goes out for the holocaust victims under survivors. but this should not be a reason to persecute other people. so brief discussion, police allowed to come on the ration to continue. it has become increasingly difficult for processing is the process here in germany now, and the risk of growing about the developments and this for our terminal. so it, these are increasingly cramping down on demonstrations here, saying they could turn on to submit to essential this issue here. in sherman, i think the whole cost of the nazi nasty, a dozens of protests was for detained by police on knock by day. it was the 1st time the demonstration most banned. after many years of collecting, in protest in germany in 2019 that you have in parliament adopted a resolution calling the palestinian pressure group and to submit to the government's commission of a jewish affair says anti semitism is on the rise. if 96 percent of incidents committed by fall right groups and the rest attribute to,
2:29 am
to point us to input test us, kind of getting you thought you, there's of what do you think everyone is allowed to protest against it? very policies. the limit is when it becomes anti semitic when the existence of, as well as being split is like when the actions of these radio and i mean, compared to what we're not doing well, go to spam touch base miss ali status. that because of increase tensions between israel and palestine and motions of palestinians in germany are running high and the actions risk breaking the law kind of thing and say it's an upfront to that constitutional rights. this, the constitution of right and fact of law has been flipped around by the court and the balloon police. and this is something that is the danger for the democracy itself. lawyers have challenged the bands in court,
2:30 am
but so far the judges website it with the police steadfast and l. 20 in berlin. as palestinians were preparing to mock. the knock by is riley forces shot and killed a palestinian man during a ride. and nicholas and the occupied with bank. the funeral was held for 22 years old solace abra islamic jihad says he was a member of the group. the is ready met latrice and people had held rocks and explosives and 5 edits forces. well, the 150 post indians had been killed in the occupied territories sort of 5 this year. tennessee in opposition lead and fullness because parliament rashid can and she has been sentenced to get an absence here on charges of incitement type of speech. she gave last year can and she needs be an auto policy. and as a 5th critic of current president kind of side, he's refused to appear in court saying the trial is political. it's the lie system,
