this is day that we news live from above and the u.s. house judiciary committee demands the report in full responsibility now for three times years old the president accountable for that. report cleared the presence of collusion with russia but lists a series of attempts to obstruct justice and bring you the latest from washington also on the program the president and the comedian the candidates in ukraine's election give samples of blood to be tested for drugs and alcohol out of sunday's vote and prepare for tonight's t.v. debates in the football stadium. and right in northern ireland these are women's dads twenty one years after the signing of the good friday peace deal police say it
6:01 pm
is terrorism and the launch of not just fiction. i'm phil gale welcome to the program the u.s. house of representatives judiciary committee has issued a subpoena demanding to see a complete and version of the report committee chairman jerry not less said he could not accept the current version which he said leaves much most of the congress in the dark is what he said about the version released by president trump's attorney general attorney general barr it appears to have shown in unsettling willingness to undermine his own department in order to protect president trump the report outlines disturbing evidence. president corrupt engage in obstruction of justice and other misconduct and there's sponsibility now tools for congress to hold the president accountable for his right to washington that is why we joined
6:02 pm
the w. corresponding to helena humphrey welcome helena so we just heard the chairman of the house to do syria commits a making his demands where does this not likely to go and i think what you just heard may well be the opening shot in what could be a lengthy legal battle and jerry not confirming that he had issued that subpoena for a full unredacted lawyer report as well as all of the underlying documents now the department of justice has until the first of may to respond to that request i think the question is one of the democrats looking to uncover in gaining access to the full report one thing i think which may have attracted their attention is the news now that there are twelve other investigations underway which the democrats may want to dig into but remember of course the department of justice could well say well these are active investigations we will not give you access to that information so as not to compromise those approach at which point i think the
6:03 pm
democrats will have to regroup and sort of re strategize bearing in mind that they are also facing the looming prospect of the twenty twenty. but if you want to sort of look at this through the historical lens remember of course that the ken starr report that investigation into bill clinton was actually read live on television what for what so we are you know in different territory here ok stay with us please i have a special counsel report the special counsel robert mueller did stop short of charging the president by saying he couldn't reach a concrete legal conclusion but obstruction taken place president trump says the report marks the end of what he called a hoax. 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. on. trump's advisor kellyanne conway said it was case closed not very accepting
6:04 pm
apologies for anybody who feels that grace in 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 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 an 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
6:05 pm
his political opponents are unlikely to be so accommodating. helen humphrey in washington how is the president likely to respond to news of a subpoena. well i think going to be surprised but if i say i don't think you'll be very happy about it if we take a look at his comments already online today on twitter he's called those narratives that witness testimony in the investigation a little more than the times actually using that profanity in full to refer to testimony given under oath by some of his aides who he has disregarded as a little more the note takers but those quote unquote note takers have clearly been potentially helpful to him at times when you look at for example his aides mcgann who essentially stopped the president from firing money by not carrying through on that and committing a potential obstruction of justice and if you look at the former ten tony general jeff sessions who did not limit as requested the scope of the russia investigation
6:06 pm
i mean now the trunk campaign has said that the tables will be turned the lies will be investigated i think the fact that this document now has gone from being a legal one to a political one means that the fight could become even more fierce. and we'd likely to actually hear from robert mueller himself. you know if i think we will the democrats the house judiciary committee have issued a letter to mr miller asking him to testify by the twenty third of may the attorney general bill bar has said he's not against that he's a friend over the i think the question is what a more we will learn i think what a feels that he's done a thorough job as much as he could and you know today he's back at work he's handed in his opus and he's back at work at the just justice department humphrey walking to thank. now to ukraine where they country's presidential candidates go head to head tonight in a national t.v. debate from the country's biggest football stadium it is the last big event ahead
6:07 pm
of sunday's runoff election between t.v. comedian vladimir's the landscape and incumbent president petro poroshenko poroshenko has been holding rallies in the capital here opinion polls show him trailing badly making tonight's debate his last chance to boost his chances a d.w.i. commonly sent this report. a sitting president rolling up his sleeves to give blood for drugs test live on t.v. not something most ukrainian voters ever expected to see but they did because of this man comedian and actor realty misled president pershing because challenger has turned ukraine's politics on its head in a matter of months when selenski demanded drug and alcohol tests pushing had little choice but to agree after picking up just half as many votes as alinsky in the first round pushing those had to play catch up with his younger rival.
6:08 pm
lympics stadium capacity seventy thousand and the place was immense he says he wants to debate with petro poroshenko no dusty t.v. studio facility who prefers to talk to his supporters direct through social media. feelings once again selenski throwing down the gauntlet and once again go left with no other option but to agree. astonished observers with a late night reply by video message that you want if it's the stadium you want then so be it i'll be waiting for you. travel to paris to meet him on a visit intended to underscore his diplomatic standing zelinsky again picked in to the post meeting mccall and his advisors hours before pushing. tension in ukraine was focused on the mood music between the presidential candidates and their french hosts down to the number of minutes spent at the elite palace. less than forty
6:09 pm
eight hours after his return from paris. was walking the turf of the limbic stadium alone with. his challenge to selenski to bring the stadium debate forward had simply been ignored with his poll ratings fly high selenski is apparently in no mood to compromise three weeks have now passed since the first round of voting but ukrainians are barely any wiser about what their presidential candidates plan to do three weeks debating the how and the when of a potential debate instead of discussing the issues of which there are more than enough in a country locked in standoff with russia with more than a million refugees and millions more leaving the country in search of work. critics argue that's no coincidence they say as a newcomer to politics he has little to win and much to lose debating the details of being president today ukrainians have one last chance to hear their next president whoever that will be set out his vision before they go to the polls that
6:10 pm
is if selenski can finally agree on the terms of the debate. let's go straight to the olympic stadium in. good evening phil well this has been long in the making lots of discussion lots of argument about how this debate in the building behind me would happen but now it has happened here is teaming with people from both sides both sides have come from all of the country to see this debate as we understand they would be standing on a stage together they will be on each on their own stage at opposite ends of the football field so how this is going to work who's going to moderate and make sure they actually debate with each other rather than talking past each other no one can know but it is happening and two days before ukrainians go to vote they will hopefully find out a bit more about what these candidates actually want to do for ukraine president partially because he's trailing badly in the polls i guess one of his tactics will
6:11 pm
be to try and expose the landscape of political inexperience. well exactly and this has been the suggestion on the part of observers here in ukraine that zelinsky has been trying to delay this as long as he could have tried to pull these debates forward and often multiple debates instead selenski preferring to talk to voters direct through social media giving fewer media interviews and basically participating in formats that he could control but since you took that challenge up to turn out to the stadium tonight he couldn't get out of it in the end and it'll be very interesting to see how he holds up he has been showing greater aggression in the in his media appearances he has been coming out fighting visibly irritated by suggestions that he is not over the policy detail and that he is just. a puppet for other interests so it will be interesting to see how the mood music is how the atmosphere goes in this stadium with tens of thousands
6:12 pm
people watching and tell us about the powerful people who are backing this insurgent. was alinsky is particularly coming into criticism for his links to that's an oligarch who used to own ukraine's biggest bank among other things who has fallen out with petro poroshenko and is currently living outside ukraine now he's t.v. channel one plus one made selenski a star household name most of all of his shows appeared on this channel so there have been suggestions that they have links beyond that connection they have through t.v. that has been proven by at least demonstrated by journalists here that is the landscape has been traveling to see color schemes exiled repeatedly over the past years and that is something that is obviously trying to convince ukrainians of that this is not an independent politician not someone who can shake up the system but just a younger face but essentially
6:13 pm
a puppet of financial interests who don't have ukraine's best interests at heart that is pushing his line if it will give him that opportunity to catch up doesn't seem so at the moment if anything zelinsky is pulling away from portugal in the polls and calling into thank you. now let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world hundreds of thousands of anti-government protesters are valid in algeria's capital algiers the protest movement succeeded in ousting president abdulaziz ability flicka earlier this month i demonstrators are demanding further democratic reforms and a complete change in the country's leadership. environmental activists around the world have been rallying against climate change today a sixteen year old swedish activist that got a tony burke spoke to protesters at a fridays for future rally in rome the group extinction rebellion tried to disrupt london's heathrow airport and the greenpeace blockade at the paris headquarters of banks as the general. hundreds of protesters in sudan's capital
6:14 pm
khartoum have taken part in friday prayers as they continue their sit in outside the defense ministry demonstrators are pressuring the governing military council to hand over power to civilians months of sustained protests helped to depose longtime president omar al bashir last week. twenty nine year old woman has been killed by gunfire during a riot overnight in the northern irish city of london derry police identified her as a journalist lyra mackay a death is being treated as terrorism and police suspected militants republican group calling itself the new ira violence erupted after police searched a house in the area. she was described as a rising star leroy mckee was an acclaimed journalist known for her coverage of the troubles in northern ireland the twenty nine year old was gunned down on thursday night while reporting on the unrest in the city of london derry also known as derry
6:15 pm
a former flashpoint between irish nationalists and unionists. hours before her death mckee sent this tweet from the scene of the riots which erupted after police searched the house it read derry tonight absolute madness. nicky was standing near a police car when a gunman opened fire she was rushed to the hospital but couldn't be saved authorities are now searching for suspects they were not on the road so i am prepared to say that we certainly believe there was more than one person. was involved and that's last night obviously only one person pulled the trigger but there was more than one person mickey's death came on the eve of the twenty first anniversary of the signing of the good friday or belfast agreement it largely ended decades of conflict between catholic irish nationalists and protestants. it is really heart breaking on good friday to stand here twenty one years after the
6:16 pm
belfast agreement was signed on to think that there are still those that believe the file and says the way to deal with these issues we need everyone and society to say that that is not the way forward i mean this was a this was an attack on everybody in northern are it doesn't matter if you're a catholic or protestant british or irish this is an attack on democracy so therefore we need to stand together and say no we're not accepting this maccie once wrote we were the good friday agreement generation destined to never witnessed the horrors of war but to reap the spoils of peace the spoils just never seemed to reach us. as a journalist and. to from london to eric she joins us on the line from dublin welcome to date up there i know that you you knew by the mackay what was he like. she was a she was a lovely young woman she was very life affirming very brilliant writer she.
6:17 pm
cared very deeply about the legacy of the troubles in northern ireland and of course we all thought they were over. she wrote a lot about for example the fact that there had been a lot of suicides among young people who were you know who shouldn't have been affected by the troubles. she wrote she was writing a book about young people who had disappeared during the troubles you know so she was a very caring person and of she was a very generous soul she campaigned on behalf of feminists and she campaigned on behalf of gay people she was very active member of their g.b.g. community and very. she just was an all around brilliant very bright sparkling the only versatile and they also thing is that i i think so i'm just going to go into the slightly more quiet spot here because i know this is but no it's a. she was she was watching what was happening and and very last
6:18 pm
night i feel sure that she was looking up those young rioters and thinking god they're throwing away their youth you know and i'm thinking about you know what could be done try to turn them in a different way because that's the kind of person that she was definitely set up nation goes and we can only speculate that but a bit of a brother thinking that that line was perhaps targeted or put perhaps tragically just in the wrong place at the wrong time. i think that's what seems to have happened is that she was standing behind the slanderer over watching what was happening. at that stage it was just appeared to be young guys throwing bombs and then others in the shadows. emerged and apparently from eyewitness accounts started firing who was under orders which was totally reckless because there were other civilians standing around as well you know people were also there from the words looking at what was going on and wondering what was happening and what they needed
6:19 pm
to do and how dangerous it was so you know. where it was killed but you know other people could have been killed while commuting people who were just watching will just take a quick look at the backgrounds of this in northern ireland because through the breaks it process people have spoken about the potential for violence to return to the province despite the twenty years the place you've been there you've lived there is the peace that fragile. well i think said before she has to bear in mind about northern ireland at the moment as we've had no government there for two years the institutions that were set up under the good friday agreement in one thousand nine hundred have broken down and there's a stalemate going on you know the two main political parties here need to get togethers on the go hunt talking on their boats do so on there's a sort of a sound of a political standoff going on. so we don't have a cover lunch. we've been after these useless british secretary of state who
6:20 pm
doesn't know anything about plans and seems to care alas we've got a british government which has kind of sold its soul to the unionist party which is angie which is progress on down to european despite the fact the majority of people in northern ireland focus to remain the ok to lead is quite a vote of paranoia yeah you've got it right you've got a very dysfunctional situation rush and unfortunately there are dissident republicans there who consider that the peace process was a sellout. leave it there saying young people thank you so much for joining us here they don't think susan mci and that doesn't thank you. tonight's violence occurring on the eve of the twenty first anniversary of the signing of the good friday agreement that largely ended the decades long conflict between catholic irish nationalists and protestant unionists but memories of the troubles are left to face in london today which is also known as scary. john donnelly is
6:21 pm
a former ira fighter from derry in his home is a small collection of treasures from the decades of warfare known as the troubles. for us the british soldiers belt back contains photos from a secret list of wanted ira members and it doesn't matter of myself there are technically i met. this guy usually again. they are informer. it was an informer. can help me get worse martin mcguinness was the former provisional ira leader but later shin feigns chief negotiator for the good friday agreement twenty one years ago. for over three decades he and the ira for british rule in northern ireland. john donnelly was a leading political force in derry northern ireland second largest city. he was instrumental in persuading ira operatives to lay down their arms.
6:22 pm
twenty one years on the conflict seems to have been settled but for many this is merely a superficial arrangement donnelly says poor areas of daring are still waiting for the peace dividend to kick in says the peace agreement op told. there's very little tangible progress. there's often the people can put their finger on and say look. that that that was. that's what's happened to the good faith if you agree to go to a b. and c. . in the rosemount community center the former ira fighter is a social worker helping those worse off. yes he and colleague tom court also a former fighter share one of the hardest jobs. we use a room there that binders full of brutal stories. donnelly shows
6:23 pm
a particularly telling file. this will be of it if it the client's name where he lives. what age group nature of threat expulsion beaten should in the time edition and this case was a neutral expulsion from a civic. to punish so called anti social behavior radical elements impose vigilante justice in the poor areas of derry. this is a holdover from earlier times when the ira policed neighborhoods. a tradition that radical irish nationalists are carrying on today. there is. a mother and her son visit a community center they want to remain anonymous you hear the boy is accused of stealing a car he's threatened punishment is to be shot in the leg. donnelly is trying to mediate. here and in addition to the way. i talk to people here should the threat.
6:24 pm
because. because we needed. we only know you write a letter. a letter of apology will hopefully avert the looming threat. it's a typical day at the rosemont community center an indication that for some people in northern ireland peace has not yet returned twenty one years after the good friday agreement. there with the restoration of paris is not a done cathedral likely to take at least five years it's been suggested that worshipers could be accommodated in a temporary wooden church on the square in front of it since this isn't the first time historic agendas for the victim to the flames but see how other architectural masterpieces arisen from the ashes. almost lost to monday's fire no top down
6:25 pm
cathedral still stands proudly over the river center and with billionaires such as the owners of gucci louis veto and the outpouring and money to rebuild the cathedral is now guaranteed to survive but will the new not look just like the old one and how quickly can it be rebuilt france now faces those tough questions but not saddam is not the first culturally significant building to burn across the atlantic just last year brazil's national museum was destroyed along with its twenty million item collection unlike with not saddam just a quarter of a million euros have been raised just one percent of the estimated rebuilding costs . for a success story though france can look to germany's eighteenth century fallen to the church of our lady it was bombed by the allies in one nine hundred forty five. and after two days of fire the church finally collapsed.
