new zealand comes together a week after shootings at two mosques the people whom he believes claimed 50 lives. hello and welcome to bbc news. after almost two years, the special counsel's investigation into alleged collusion between russia and president donald trump's 2016 campaign has come to an end. robert mueller has delivered his report to the us attorney general. the reuters news agency is reporting that the main conclusions of the report will be made public, according to a justice department official. we've also heard from the justice department that there will be no further indictments recommended by mr mueller. more than 30 people have already been indicted or made a plea in the course of the investigation so far.

let's go to our north america correpsondent david willis do we have any idea what's in the report? it is said to be a very comprehensive report and the attorney general william barr who only took office a week ago is reviewing it as we speak. he plans to reveal bullet points, if you like, the top line of this 22 month long investigation to senior congressional leaders over the weekend, perhaps and then he will, with the man who wrote this report special counsel robert mueller and the man who appointed robert mueller rod rosenstein what else in this report can be released to wider members of congress and also to the public at large. as you can imagine,

there are already democrats lining up there are already democrats lining up saying they should make the whole report public. now that special counsel mueller has submitted his report to the attorney general, it is imperative for mr barr to make the full report public, and provide its underlying documentation and findings to congress. attorney general barr must not give president trump, his lawyers or his staff any sneak preview of special counsel mueller‘s findings or evidence. and the white house must not be allowed to interfere in decisions about what parts of those findings or evidence should be made public. a great deal of interest in washington, dc, politicians and those close to political circles but what about outside that?” those close to political circles but

what about outside that? i think there is tremendous interest in this report, after all it has been 22 months in the compilation, the subject of innumerable bouts of speculation but no legs about what robert mueller was doing in his enquiry. they have been of these indictments, some involving people quite close to donald trump, paul manafort, for example his former campaign manager. there will be no more indictments, recommendations for indictments contained in this report and that is interesting because it would suggest that there would be nothing against president trump and that would vindicate his long assertion there was no

collusion perhaps the trunk campaign and russia. enemies would suggest that perhaps is not indicted because presidents cannot be but we will have to wait and see what this report contains and how damning or otherwise it is. for the moment, thank you very much. let's take a moment to reflect upon how we get here. here's nick bryant on how the process unfolded and what happens next. robert mueller is one of the most talked about men in washington. but ever since this former fbi director was appointed a special council almost two years ago, he has not made a single public comment about his high—sta kes investigation. donald j trump! he has been looking into whether or not there was collusion between the trump campaign and the kremlin during the 2016 presidential race, did donald trump know the russians had hacked the democratic national committee and giving e—mails to wikileaks to release?

russia, if you are listening, i hope you're able to find the 30,000 e—mails that are missing. i think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press. what happened at a meeting in june 2016 between key campaign officials, including donald trump junior, and russians with links to the kremlin? did the president fire the fbi director, james comey, in an attempt to obstructjustice? the president has repeatedly claimed that it's all a part of a witch hunt. the witch hunt, as i call it, it should have never taken place. the entire thing has been a witchhunt. it's a witchhunt, that's all it is. there's already been a string of convictions stemming from the mueller investigation. paul manafort, his one—time campaign chairman, has been found guilty of financial crimes, but not collusion. michael flynn, the president's former national security adviser, pleaded guilty of lying to the fbi about his contacts with russia

and has cooperated with the special counsel. long—time adviser roger stone, has been accused of lying to congress about his efforts to get in touch with wikileaks during the 2016 campaign and michael cohen, donald trump's former lawyer has made a plea deal with the special counsel and turned on his former boss. he is a racist, he is a con man and he is a cheat. as well as other members of the campaign team, robert mueller has charged about two dozen russian nationals, including 12 intelligence officers accused of hacking the hillary clinton campaign. prosecutors in washington, virginia, and here in new york, are pursuing cases that will outlive his investigation. raise your right hand, please. now the new attorney general has been handed the mueller accords, it is up to him to decide what will be made public. i am in favour of much

transparency as there can be, consistent with the rules and the law. the president of the united states! the burning question, will it accuse donald trump of collusion and criminality? david tafuri is an international lawyer and former state department official. he's in washington. what is the significance of the line from the department ofjustice saying there will be no additional indictment recommended by the report chris make well, that is not in any official statement by the department official statement by the department ofjustice. official statement by the department of justice. apparently official statement by the department ofjustice. apparently someone has anonymously said that. that has not yet been confirmed and we do not know what to make of that. let's say

thatis know what to make of that. let's say that is true, that suggests robert mueller has decided not to recommend indictments of trumpet‘s closest advisers. it does not mean he has not found wrongdoing by president trump because as cited earlier, president trump under regulations cannot be indicted as a setting president. robert mueller may have agreed and decided not to indict the president because it is not proper but he could still have found wrongdoing with respect to president trump. his interactions with russia and possibly obstruction ofjustice. we still do not know what the report says. 0nly we still do not know what the report says. only the attorney general and his closest advisers now understand know what is says. the attorney general says he is going to report to congress about it as early as this weekend but that has not happened yet either. given that the clamour has begun for the report to

be made public, how much and how $0011 be made public, how much and how soon before we find out what is in their that is up to attorney general william barr. the house and congress has voted unanimously in favour of the report be made completely public. incense a message about what the house wants to happen but it does not mean it will happen. it is at the attorney general‘s discretion and he could consult with the white house and white house lawyers and the white house lawyers may attempt to assert executive privilege. there area number of to assert executive privilege. there are a number of different things that still need to happen before this becomes public. thank you very much. let's turn to brexit now — and britain's prime minister theresa

may has written to mps, spelling out the remaining options for the uk. the uk was meant to leave the eu in a week's time, on march 29th. but after mrs may twice failed to get her withdrawal deal through the commons, the european union agreed to an extension. it means if on a third attempt mps do vote for her deal next week, brexit will happen on 22nd may. but there are no signs she has enough support. and if the deal fails again, the eu has given the uk until april 12th to propose something else. mrs may has suggested she might not hold a third vote, if there's not enough support. here's our political editor laura kuenssberg. how long now? how much longer before we leave? how much longerfor this prime minister? how much longer can our politics really go on like this? just after midnight in brussels, theresa may confirmed the eu granted not as long a delay she had asked for, but a pause.

good morning. an extra fortnight to give her another chance to pass her deal. the date of our departure will now be extended to the 22nd of may. if parliament does not agree a deal next week, the eu council will extend article 50 until the 12th of april. at this point, we would either leave with no deal or put forward an alternative plan. so we'll leave a little late, if mps back down and back her. but why would they do that when she strongly pointed the finger at them? doesn't this delay just postpone the dilemma you still find yourself in? what is it that makes you think you have a chance of passing your vote next week, and do you think actually you should apologise for the remarks you made about what parliament has done? there are passionately held views

on all sides of this argument. and yes, as i said last night, i expressed frustration. but i know mps are frustrated, too. getting the deal through next week in a meaningful vote means that we can have that extension to the 22nd of may, get our legislation through, deliver on the referendum. theresa may missed out on this last photocall in brussels, with its booming music and cheesy grins. but no one here really believes she'll get her deal through back in westminster. 0dds—on, it will then be for mps to determine a different deal, or a longer delay. the fate of brexit is in the hands of our british friends. at the eu, we are prepared for the worst, but hope for the best. as you know, hope dies last. how much hope, though, does number ten's weary team really have? if the deal fails, they've already promised mps can have different votes on different versions of brexit. what isn't clear though is whether those votes orjust give a sense of direction.

the government would provide parliament with the means to come to a view on the options available. some ministers think the government should lead that process, and be bound by whatever gets most support in the commons. the problem is, others and many backbenchers are horrified by the idea. with no majority, though, theresa may's choice might be to budge or be budged. hello, have a nice weekend. reporter: are you supporting the indicative votes mr gove? parliament now has to take control of the process. the government has failed, the prime minister has failed, her deal has gone. neither labour nor even some of the prime minister's allies are coming to her aid. she's got to listen and consult with parliament. she cannot go on living in a bunker and pretending it is all going to come all right next week. it won't unless there's a change by her. the government has not taken a grip of the situation. it has been prepared to be pushed around at every level. i think cabinet divisions have caused real problems for the prime minister.

conservatives on all sides of the raging brexit argument are angry, frustrated and disappointed with the prime minister's predicament. for months, theresa may has hung on to the idea that her deal is the only one, there's no alternative to the compromise she brokered over two years. but now an alternative might be forced upon her by parliament and forced upon her soon, and that could make her leadership impossible to maintain. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. shame stay with us on bbc news, still to come: a day of remembrance in new zealand a day of remembrance in new zealand a day of remembrance in new zealand a week up to 50 people were killed

in gun attacks on two mosques. — a week after. let there be no more war or bloodshed between arabs and israelis. very good. applause so proud of both of you. applause with great regret, the committeee have decided that south africa should be excluded from the 1970 competition. chants streaking across the sky, the white—hot wreckage from mir drew gasps from onlookers on fiji.

onlooker: wow! this is bbc news — the latest headlines. special counsel robert mueller finishes his two—year investigation into alleged collusion between donald trump's election campaign and russia — the department ofjustice says the key findings will be made public. is it the end of the road for theresa may's withdrawal deal — she tells mps she may not hold a third vote she tells mps she may not hold a third vote after all. rain, rising rivers, and broken bridges are hampering aid and rescue efforts for those affected by cyclone idai in southern africa. the death toll officially across the region is over 550, although the true number is thought to be far higher. hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced across mozambique, zimbabwe and malawi. (ani) fergal keane has travelled deep into one the worst affected fergal keane has travelled deep into one the worst affected areas, the district of nhamatanda in mozambique, where many people

have died and thousands more are still in need of aid. the bridge on the road towards nhamatanda now crosses a river that has engulfed the countryside and severed the road that is a trading lifeline for southern africa. survivors of the flooding have found a way across the farmland that has become a swamp. and they told of many deaths in the countryside beyond. translation: a lot of people have died in my village. we saw the bodies of 76 people, and then yesterday we found four more. we continued on foot, thanks to the kindness of locals, who want the world to see what has

happened to their lives. on the other side, another driver to negotiate the battered road, where dozens have taken shelter under plastic. little protection from the rains, and now there are reports of cholera. disease is the inevitable consequence of so many living in such terrible conditions. this 76—year—old war veteran has come to the water to fish, his only hope for food. and while scientists assess the causes of the violent weather, he says the storm is the worst he's ever known. i was born in 1943, francesco told me, and i haven't seen a wind like this. we arrived in nhamatanda as the un was leaving. they'd just made a food drop. much more is needed in a place where they sell hundreds

lose their lives and thousands of destitute. how many people are you taking care of you? 2000? over 2000 people in this one school? katerina goncalves was waiting in the hope of getting food. her mother was drowned in the storm. the eldest of her seven children was trying to repair the family home. katerina is a widow, and her crops have been destroyed. the way i am now, she told me, i don't know how i'll survive with my children. i have no work and everything at my farm was destroyed. and remember, they live with the trauma of losing dozens of their neighbours in the storm. then there was a glimmer

of better news. some food had come. this is a supply of government food that has just arrived. you can see there are armed guards on the truck, because hunger breeds desperation. it is entirely understandable when people have gone for days without food. there are bigger questions about the causes and solutions to such disasters. but come on the ground, it is still an unfolding crisis, a question of survival. fergal keane, bbc news, nhamatanda. people across new zealand have observed a two minute's silence in memory of the fifty people who died in shootings at two mosques in christchurch, one week ago. prime ministerjacinda ardern joined thousands of mourners near the al—noor mosque, one of the two targeted in the attack. clive myrie is in christchurch for us. it was an intense and emotional day of mourning and prayerfor it was an intense and emotional day of mourning and prayer for the 50 people who lost their lives in the attacks on those two mosques with new zealanders of all faiths coming together to show solidarity with those people who died and also to make it clear they wanted to fight

for a society where everyone can feel valued, feel equal and feel safe. the whole aim of course to prevent a similar atrocity happening again. this place has been defiled. the al noor mosque isn't fit for worship — the memory of violence still fresh. a crime scene, it's out of bounds on this, the holiest day of the week in islam. so the faithful must go elsewhere. allahu akbar... this call to prayer also sounded out exactly seven days ago, but was followed by gunshots. now in its wake, silence. two minutes of space

for a country to breathe, suffocated for a week by all—consuming grief. last friday, i stood in this mosque and saw hatred and rage in the eyes of the terrorist who killed and murdered 50 innocent people. listening, survivors of the massacre and an estimated 20,000 people of all faiths, united in defying the wishes of the killer. this terrorist sought to tear our nation apart. but instead we have shown that new zealand is unbreakable. the country's prime minister attended the commemoration service, along with five men who'd arrived in christchurch earlier in the week with stories of loss.

i take people for hajj pilgrimage to saudi, mecca. and one of the sisters, who is a devout muslim, linda armstrong, i took her for hajj in 2017. and she was one of my best group. and i said i would go there and do whatever i can to help people to bury her peacefully. and buried peacefully she was, along with 26 others this day, including mucad ibrahim, the youngest victim, aged just three.

new zealand has had to ask itself some tough questions in the last seven days. is it really as welcoming to strangers as it would like to think? the al noor mosque will reopen shortly and the veneration of god will return indoors. but an open and frank conversation about islamophobia, hatred and white supremacy has moved into the open and cannot be ignored. here in the centre of christchurch that has been a much beloved taking place down below. thousands of people moving through the centre of the city and support of the muslim community here and the whole event is being organised by students at a local school and that was the march for love. there have been events like that taking place pretty much every day for the last three or four days. a sign of this community is trying to heal itself after the atrocities of seven days ago, to try to bring a new foot future forward

for this place. this is bbc news. thank you for watching. hello, welcome to a weekend which is going to deliver some dry weather but there will be blustery showers, particularly in scotland and it is going to feel cooler than it has done recently. we've seen this weather front move on southwards, cool and fresh removing on behind but it's clearer and more of us will see sunshine over the weekend. this is how we start saturday, touch and frost sibilant parts of northern england scotland and northern ireland and cloud through parts of southern england and towards the southern england and towards the south coast in particular, it may hold on through the day and we have that, don't be surprised if there is a little light rain and drizzle. elsewhere across england and wales, high cloud. it's going to be quite

hazy. sunny skies in northern ireland and scotland though cloud producing a few showers here and there and they are very blustery showers and scotland. average speed gusts are higher, the northern isles between 60 and 70 miles per hour initially before the wind eases later and showers moving into scotla nd later and showers moving into scotland are going to be wintry on the hills. temperatures mostly at around 9— 12 degrees. saturday evening and night, further showers coming into scotland. bit more snow to the higher ground. they be the far north of england. still some cloud into parts of england and wales. maybe a little drizzle but where you are clear, hence the touch of blue on the chart, you just get a bit of frost, particularly on the ground as sunday begins. early on sunday, a longer spell of wet weather moving into the far north—west of scotland and that will move on southwards with more showers following on behind to northern ireland in northern england. blustery showers. elsewhere across

england and wales, sunny spells. temperatures are fairly similar for pa rt temperatures are fairly similar for part two of the weekend. highs of around 9— 12 degrees. so that is how the weekend is shaping up. let us ta ke the weekend is shaping up. let us take a look into next week and high pressure is back with us, moving right across the uk. just a few weak weather fronts into the far north—west of scotland. high pressure is going to be dry. variable cloud, some sunny spells, the risk of a touch of frost overnight but other days we go deeper into the week, temperatures look like they will be going up a few degrees. that is next week covered. let's just wreak up the weekend weather. rather cool, chilly nights, some decent sunny spells around. you may catch a shower. blustery showers and wintry as well.
