the march fifteenth attacks. now u.s. backed syrian fighters are claiming victory over the so-called islamic state they say they've expelled the self-proclaimed caliphate for the last remaining territory it's controlled in syria rebels from the syrian democratic forces fought for weeks to retake the village of bug. back. what remains of the caliphate now just a turn up field littered with clothes and twisted metal. on this small patch of land the diehards of these. made their last stand. but they were forced to surrender. after years of war the syrian democratic forces

a kurdish led group backed by the us celebrate their hard won victory. you'll be said that today the syrian democratic forces officially announced the end of all battles and a victory against the group calling itself the islamic state that name is now wiped off the map here in northeastern syria. the so-called islamic states territory once stretched across vast pots of iraq and syria years of military efforts by iraqi and syrian fighters backed by the u.s. forced to caliphates retreat by guus was its last stronghold the syrian democratic forces have called this the end of the caliphate at least in its physical form but stressed the so-called to some extent remains an insurgent threat in both syria and iraq a message echoed by u.s. allies. our mission mission has achieved go there were fewer make sure that the rights of islamic terrorism was in the room thank you all very much i mean this is

take me seriously. i mean the celebrations in by guus syrian fighters have urged the u.s. to keep troops in syria at least for now they warn if the u.s. pulls out it will only be a matter of time until the i-s. threats grows again. to washington now where house democrats are awaiting details from the justice department of what special counsel robert muller has found in his probe into russian interference in the twenty six thousand presidential election well are spent almost two years investigating that and possible collusion with president donald trump's campaign team has repeatedly condemned the moller inquiry as a baseless witch hunt. let's go straight to washington where the w.'s helena humphrey joins us now so helena as we know the u.s. attorney general is now reviewing the moeller report a lot of people have been waiting with a great deal of suspense for

a very long time to find out what's in it so when can we expect to hear. the short on say is not today we've just heard from the department of justice who says that william barr will not be handing over his principal conclusions to congress today one would imagine of course that he has got a big task ahead of him reading through that investigation of course it took two years to complete but once he has finished that summary he will hand it over to congress and then it is expected to be a public document that said i wouldn't call that the motor reports that essentially is the bar report because those are his conclusions through the prism of the attorney general and as such there are many calls including from the house democrats for the entire mother reports to be made public they've just been on a conference call in fact and they have raised the possibility of using subpoena power including on robert mueller himself if that report is not made public there will be issues with that as well of course for example when it comes to sensitive

intelligence information which perhaps potentially should not be made public not to mention the fact that if there is no criminal conduct but there are misdemeanors which have been committed should those be made public and potentially solly the names of those who are concerned well what we are hearing about the miller report is that apparently miller is not recommending any more indictments so is this good news for donald trump does that mean he is in effect off the hook. not by any stretch i would like to think the rationale raised by jerry navl of the chairman of the house judiciary committee who says that something that's a crime may not necessarily be grounds for impeachment and something those grounds for impeachment may not be a crime of course we know that the process of removing a president in fact is not something that is impeachment and rather you know that the department of justice does not recommend indicting

a president so the fact that there is there are no further indictments doesn't necessarily mean much at this stage we have to wait and see what more we learn in that report but certainly the president does have further legal woes of course further investigations are underway into all sorts of other issues when it whether it's campaign financing for example also allegations of an alleged hush money payment scheme in relation to stormy daniels remember of course that the mohler investigation was limited in its scope it was looking at russia and collusion and potentially the obstruction of the course of justice so there are many more avenues in the months and well potentially years ahead well how have we heard from donald trump himself in connection to this law report being completed he's been uncharacteristically quiet i would say we haven't heard

a tweet from the president we know that he's in florida that he was seen heading to his goal of course. in the back of the vehicle reading the newspaper so presumably tracking all the media coverage of this but not a tweet yet i think what we can say is that when we hear from bar or for example when there's a leak from bars findings then we can probably expect to hear from the president likely on his platform of choice of course which is twitter helen humphrey in washington thank you very much for your reporting. germany's national soccer team begins at zero twenty twenty qualification this weekend and they don't come much tougher than an away match against the dutch coach nervous hoping shake up will cast off the gloom that surrounded the team since the world cup germany's national team took a break from their training pitch in wolfsburg to visit the towns of both swag and assembly line germany have been far from a well oiled machine lately they need to click into gear ahead of their tough euro
