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 but 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 sixteen presidential election. also coming up friday to northern ireland leaves one woman dead at twenty one years after the signing of the good friday peace deal police say it's terrorism and they launch a murder investigation. the candidates in ukraine's upcoming presidential election

give blood samples to prove their sobriety or find out what else is different about ukraine's on the usual runoff election. i'm sunni so much going to it's great to have you with us u.s. president donald trump try to influence the course of an investigation into russian interference in the twenty sixteen presidential election that is one of the conclusions of the mahler report that's been published in redacted form in the u.s. but special counsel robert mueller stopped short of charging trom he could not reach a concrete legal conclusion that obstruction had taken place donald trump says the report marks 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 tramp 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 it's very accepting apologies today too for anybody who feels that greece you know offering them there was no collusion and there certainly was no criminal conspiracy with any russians that report makes very clear that this white house and this president and none of us i got in their way 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 document 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. as we heard it could be up to democrats 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 did abuse helen humphrey gave her assessment of how likely that was. they're 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 on that front because if they try and they fail people in the rest of the country are going to either say that you know trump was vindicated this was a witch hunt or that the democrats spent too much time caught up in the to ing and fro ing off the report when significant issues to them whether it's wages health care child care degree new deal environmental policy whatever it may be on the left which has versions 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. that was a dude abuse helena humphrey reporting for us there from washington d.c. . now to some other stories making headlines around the world huge crowds have gathered in the sudanese capital khartoum to pressure the governing military
