this is deja vu news live from berlin a mixed verdict that could prove troublesome for u.s. president donald trump no collusion with russia bought some attempts to influence the course of justice the u.s. government publishes the much anticipated results of the investigation into russian interference in the twenty six thousand presidential election. also coming out rioting in northern ireland police one woman dead twenty one years after the

signing of the good friday peace deal police say it's terrorism and launch a murder inquiry. and the candidates in ukraine's upcoming presidential election give blood samples to prove their sobriety will find out what else is different about ukraine's an unusual grand off election. i've seen so much god i thank you for joining us u.s. president donald trump at the try to influence the course of an investigation into russian interference in the twenty six thousand presidential election that is one of the conclusions of the molar report that's been published in redacted form in the u.s. but special counsel robert miller a stopped short of charging trump he could not reach a concrete legal conclusion that obstruction had taken place donald trump says the report. the end of

a hoax but democrats say there are still questions that have to be investigated. game over that's what donald trump tweeted after the release in redacted form of the miller report he appears to think his worries are over arriving in florida for the easter break he was characteristically bullish. the report found trump made numerous attempts to obstruct the investigation into alleged russian meddling in the twenty sixteen election but miller said he could not conclusively determine the trump had committed a criminal act he also detailed extensive contacts between the trump campaign and russia but said they too didn't amount to a criminal conspiracy trumps advisor kellyanne conway said it was case closed after accepting apologies to anybody who feels the phrase offering that there was no collusion and there certainly was no criminal conspiracy to that report makes very clear that this white house and this president and none of us got in their way

never never interfered never refused to comply with the past but democrats say it's far from clear that the president didn't try to obstruct the course of justice. the idea that the report proves no obstruction is completely at odds with hundreds of pages in the report which documented efforts by the president to undermine the investigation democrats are demanding that in an redirected version of the report is made available to congress allowing them to continue the investigation if the special counsel as he made clear had found evidence exonerating the president he would have said so he did not he left that issue to the congress of the united states and we will need to consider it for trump the miller report is finally behind him but the twenty twenty elections are looming and his political opponents are unlikely to be so accommodating. well as we heard it could be up to demo. kraft's in congress to take the next steps including

potentially pursuing charges that the special counsel felt unable to press himself or maybe even using the report's findings as the basis for impeachment proceedings . humphrey gave her assessment of how likely that was. going to have to be pretty sure that they're going to have a good case for impeachment pietschmann should they want to push forward with proceedings or not front because if they try and they say oh people in the rest of the country all going to either say that you know it was vindicated this was a witch hunt or that the democrats spent too much time court in the to ing and fro ing off the record when significant issues today on whether it wages health care child care the green new deal environmental policy whatever it may be on the left which has voters concerned is not tackled in the run up to the twenty twenty alexion so really there's going to be some soul searching now i think in the democratic party with how they move forward now that they've got this report in

their hands. helena humphrey there reporting for us from d.c. now in northern ireland a twenty nine year old woman was killed by gunfire during a riot in a suburb of the city of london derry police say they are treating the incident as terrorism police have identified the woman as a journalist named leader mckee she was hit by a bullet ball standing near a police vehicle the violence erupted after a large number of police searched a house in the area militant groups still pose a threat to northern ireland in january a large bomb exploded outside a courthouse in legendary but no casualties there is this violence came on the eve of the twenty first anniversary of the signing of the good friday agreement that largely ended decades long conflict between catholic irish nationalists and protestants in northern ireland but memories of the troubles are slow to fade in londonderry or derry which was the original name of the city. john donnelly is
