our documentary depicts the contrast of everyday life. and help people cope with the. iran bittersweet. starts may second spawn d.w. . when the four hundred page report on russia in the twenty six thousand election was released the public assumed it already knew what was inside thanks in part to a summary of the report written by this man the u.s. attorney general william bard now if you read the report you know that mr barr summary was off the mark and you're not alone tonight the u.s. congress questioning the attorney general did he purposely mislead the public did he lie to congress to protect the president i'm bored golf in berlin this is the day.

column the psalms for here's the muller it's for. can say i've read it all but i've read most of it. but he was very clear with me that he was not suggesting that we had misrepresented his report why did you test in april ninth that you didn't know the concerns being expressed of mahler's from the shirt here i feel. it was purposely misleading pete couldn't decide about it struction you did is that correct that's right you feel could affect your decision absolutely his work concluded when he sent his report to the attorney general. at that point it was my baby i have requested this to our chairman to authorize

a hearing with special counsel my lawyer and i hope that will let them see. which of our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome what we begin the day with the question did he have sume no one would read the report today u.s. attorney general william barr was called before a u.s. congressional committee to answer questions about the summary of the report on the russian meddling. in the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election and before bar release to the report he published a summary of the message in that summary no evidence of collusion between russia and the trump campaign and no obstruction of justice by president trump once people read the report they realize that its author robert muller had reached conclusions that were not identical to those listed in mr barr summary in fact robert muller himself sent mr barr a letter calling him out for misrepresenting the facts in the report on march

twenty seventh robert mueller wrote the summary letter the department sent to congress did not fully capture the context nature and substance of this office's work and conclusions there is now public confusion about the results of our investigation this threatens to undermine a central purpose for which the department appointed the special counsel to assure full public confidence in the outcome of the investigations in a nutshell that is one lawyer telling another lawyer you lied we caught you lying and they'll the public is misinformed or today members of congress grilled mr barr about why he wrote what he wrote it's a binary decision is there enough evidence to show a crime and do we believe a crime has been committed we don't conduct criminal investigations just to collect information and put it out to the public we do so to make a decision and here we thought there was an additional reason which is this was

a very public investigation. and we had made clear that the results of the investigation were going to be made public and the deputy and i felt that the evidence developed by the special counsel was not sufficient to establish that the president committed a crime and therefore it would be irresponsible and unfair for the department to release a report without stating the department's conclusions and thus leave it hanging as to whether the department considered there had been criminal conduct. in the venezuela two major demonstrations are underway a pro-government protest and a protest in support of opposition leader won both men claim to be president of venezuela and it remains to be seen who will be president some morrow or the next day yesterday self-proclaimed in the room president trying to jumpstart an uprising against president nicolas maduro for a moment it looked like a transition of power was imminent but by the end of the day there had been new

major military defections the u.s. claims that maduro was prepared to leave the country and fly to cuba but says that russia convinced him to stay but euro denies that what is certain tonight the shock effect of yesterday's opposition uprising that has been lost and a standoff a stalemate or more violence well they seem to be the likeliest ways for. what we have sacrificed will not be in vain it has not been in vain it has been for our families for our future it has been at every turn to achieve our objective which has been to unite the country. and we have seen how we've been pushing back and recovering space and we continue to be in the streets the government thought yesterday that the protests have ended they will not achieve that we will continue to be in the streets until we have achieved the liberation of the venezuelan people i had there was one white i'm speaking earlier today we want to take the story now

to caracas our correspondent oscar shoemaker joins me on the line good evening to you so we are now in day two if you will of this attempted rising here we've got these demonstrations going on talk to me a little bit just about how the demonstrations are looking what's happening in both of them. what we've seen is common classes where government officials in some areas of these protest the atmosphere and others but. people went out and protested and planned that there were some clashes we're waiting to see the final countdown. people injured or detained however it was much less than yesterday when we saw much more of the violence least two days of protests that we covering. earlier today to talk to

people on the streets what have they told you i mean obviously it has to be a stark difference to the way people were feeling just twenty four hours ago. one american a lot of confusion in the streets of course yesterday the surprise element of seeing they were going to open out and about gave people a lot of hope that there would be a fracture in the military and there was indeed there is indeed fractures in the military there is discontent against mother in the military and that does not mean there is support for one way though and we did see. freedom for that openness is a stark. fissure in the military but there is a lot of confusion in the street but however people do see one way though as the only option to recover democracy in venezuela and it's interesting too we

saw after the release yesterday of lopez he was seen standing with one why do but later in the day we understand that lopez and his family went to the chilean ambassador's residence seeking asylum which speaks to the fact that lopez did not think that his safety could be guaranteed that speaks against one why do in this uprising doesn't. why he wasn't specified what he was doing in the chilean embassy and he is now and the spanish embassy because he says he has and the sentence of the spanish descent but why those messages of resistance and resilience and therefore the law are companies that however we do not know as of now what he's doing in any of these embassies there were talks that he was negotiating with the government and today. the newly appointed ambassador for the

oas representing venezuela white all has said that those mutations negotiations went sour they did not go as planned so we could be seeing that yes he is seeking a family though officials have not disclosed that and for now ok what about the whereabouts of quiet and the nicolas maduro oscar do we know were both of those men are at the moment. well we did one wave on a pier in two of the concentrations here and got access and. people say that he is in a safe place by the water we have not heard from today as of now we've heard from the number two. which is just out and he seems to be gaining a lot of more leadership within chevy's more and the government than my daughter and even so we're expecting to hear from other little later today as we did late

last night but. there were about undisclosed and what it was about the the report that came from washington last night from the u.s. secretary of state saying that nicolas maduro had been prepared and ready to leave the country and to fly to cuba yesterday and that the russians had convinced him to stay put what was the reaction from iran to that. woman who would have said those were ridiculous accusations he says that they have never seen a government as crazy as the one that is governing us right now those were his words and they. said that was impossible. however we are seeing that he is not appearing that much and it is these are tense times in venezuela so we don't know what how much truth there is to those accusations

but they do seem to be taking a toll on chevy small as well our correspondent oscar sleeker by the latest tonight from caracas the capital of venezuela as always oscar thank you. all right we're going to go back now to our top story and that is the u.s. attorney general on capitol hill answering some tough questions from u.s. lawmakers about his assessment and summary of the mobile reports on russia in the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election to talk about that i'm joined by christine embassy has an opinion columnist and editor at the washington post it's good to have you on the show christine so talk to me a little bit about what is the what is the world seeing here is this the attorney general being asked are you the attorney general of the american people or are you the attorney general for donald trump is is that basically the question here.

you know i don't think that was the original question that they intended to ask but that's the question that attorney general barr seems to have answered and answered in the affirmative that he is the president's lawyer and not really a lawyer for the american people. and it's interesting that in the grilling that we sold today he was would he advise the president or to do something even if he knew that that would be inappropriate behavior and the response from mr bush off the second half of your question ok let me begin today mr barr was asked about what he advises the u.s. president to do and he was asked would you have whether at the attorney general would have advised the president or another turning to do what he has done there you go that's exactly say no in fact what's complicating this however is the new

information we got yesterday about the attorney general summary of the moller report and mahler's response to it himself there's a discrepancy between the two in that molar says that bar actually. substantially distorted the context nature and substance of his report. barr is denying that fact and continuing to defend his supposedly biased reading of their report in defense of the president and christine do you think that william barr assumed that people would not read the report because people have read the report i've read the report i'm sure you have as well when she read the report you know that it does not correspond to what is in the summary written by the attorney general do you think he thought that people just wouldn't read it

kristie can you hear me. christine that looks like we've got a problem with our signal ok we apologize for that folks we were trying to get that signal to washington but evidently we're having the light sorry about that. all right now to africa nother case of the people demanding change at the top in sudan protesters are calling for a mass rally to protest what they say is the army's reluctance to hand over power to civilians it comes three weeks after the military alstad all the credit president omar al bashir sudan's military rulers are warning protesters against any further unrest he that we use melanie cure of the ball in i.e. brahim have this report on how the hopes for revolution are affecting family tie. just a few weeks ago this family was deeply divided now most of abdul nasser and his mother

who kind can enjoy coffee together again with ease but to get here dictate to have to be ousted bridging a rift between two generations since the beginning of the sudanese uprising nearly four months ago one thousand year old has been protesting on the streets of. he did so against his mother's will show i was to donegal had the sudanese people are passionate especially the young people respect ruled by this president for thirty years for thirty years we were humiliated the generations before us didn't do anything we realized we had to change something. for. a good that he had in the struggle to achieve this change dozens of people have been killed. the victim to stay at home own safety. of course. i would be very afraid because i did not know what would happen to him i never knew if he would come back safe or as

a dead body so i can describe it and those of us i think with negotiations between protest leaders and the military council on the way and violence on the streets subsiding so kind as relieved and has given her blessing from us have to join the protests. what the young people have done and their determination and their will power this was completely unexpected is that people believe they were just an aimless generation. the years leading the protest have in fact never known any other reality than life and that i would share they have been bold in that elvis and since the dictators for generations old and young have come together in celebration but to some of the people here these revolutionary dreams have come at a past price. one of them is going to stand this is not his real name he travelled from the distant province of four to join. uprising and asked us to hide his face because he fears retribution from his father that was what i did. when he

found out i was protesting he stopped speaking to me. i think my parents are loyal to the old regime because they are from a different generation they are slightly fanatical just like the old regime so much the same says he feels guilt for going against his parents' wishes that his sense of duty towards the revolution is stronger both he and missteps he signs if they can change the mindset of their opponents through the act of i saw it with my own eyes an older man crying to a younger man and saying you were able to do what we could not. the two young men may have different homes to go to but tant the sit in protest and. similar vision of what they want the homeland to become democratic free and inclusive sometimes i . think. it is may first may day and what started centuries ago as

a fall festival to welcome the spring is now a twenty first century. eruption of political demonstrations at least for europe in some places it has been a day of protest tear gas and arrests want to take a look now at how the day played out in a few of europe's hotspots. parasol violent demonstrations as police used tear gas to disperse mass demonstrators. yellow vests protesters opposed to the government's economic policies joints trade unionists in what's traditionally a day to honor organized labor it's been seen as another marker of the unrest sweeping france in recent months. with the violence the government is inflicting on us and everything that follows what little violence we can inflate does absolutely nothing and it's just a warning sign if we have to get to that level it's because it's a real problem and we don't have any of a solution and. there were clashes in turkey as well as police detained

demonstrators taking part in may day protests in istanbul this came after protesters tried to march towards the city's main square the site hold symbolic value for the country's labor movement. sitting in russia the traditional international workers day saw a trade union marches in moscow it was a pretty good that was good government while police detained dozens of opposition activists in st petersburg last. year and in germany's capital berlin the mood was distinctly more relaxed. families gathered for an officially sponsored m a fest and there were no molotov cocktails in view i think it's very nice for just for their family and also to teach their kids about what this that first off my. he had enjoyed money at least embezzling pride spared . they way how people celebrate these past very nice if we compare it with

crime so we thought spain i came here to meet my friends and enjoy the atmosphere. as the sun was setting however protesters lived up to a berlin tradition pearling bottles at police it seems that for some may they celebrants old habits die hard. for she is an olympic champion but today the court of arbitration for sport told custer's the men you know she'll have to change what's inside if she wants to compete again so when you lost a legal challenge against the international association of athletics federations regulations on testosterone levels for female athletes the court ruling that you have to take drugs to suppress her testosterone levels but the court also expressed its concerns about the regulations that it of held today. caster semenya

became a sensation after the athletics world championships in berlin in two thousand and nine she was only a teenager when she won the eight hundred meters the new world champion had been a virtual unknown. she was hailed as our golden girl back in south africa even meeting then president jacob zuma. of the north. korean. but the storm was brewing in the sporting world the i.w. f. the athletics governing body ordered her to take a gender test. servers worldwide speculated about whether the shyster manuf was into sex she was initially suspended but was eventually allowed to keep her gold medal and returned to women's races. but the debate about her agenda rumbled on.

in twenty eleven the idea introduced a testosterone limit it wanted athletes like semenya to take drugs to lower their natural level of the hormones to be able to compete with women but in twenty fifteen the court of arbitration for sport ordered it to suspend the practice and less it could prove higher levels created an unfair advantage in twenty eighteen citing a study it had commissioned the i.w. introduced even stricter testosterone limits. the clue value for the are the empowerment of girls and women through athletics the regulations that we are introducing are there to protect the sanctity. of fair and open competition so many appealed to cas arguing that a sports federation should not have the right to force athletes to control their hormone levels. in announcing the verdict today cas expressed their own concerns about the effects of the idea. and suggested delaying . in the implementation of the rules to allow time to gather more evidence. the.

regulations discriminatory but the majority of the panel found that on the basis of the evidence submitted by the parties in the procedure such discrimination is a necessary result of all proportionate means of achieving the i do believe objective of preserving the integrity of female athletics so many of herself has responded on twitter saying simply sometimes it's better to react with no reaction . the outcome of the case will have major repercussions on the future of sports and on society's understanding and interpretation of what defines gender. warriors for the wiki leaks founder julian assange say that they will focus on preventing him from being extradited to the united states but first he is facing a fifty week prison sentence in the u.k.

for skipping bail. today in a soldier was whisked from the courthouse back to prison to begin his sentence. the wiki leaks founder had cleaned himself up since british police tracked him from the ecuadorian embassy last month and caught his lawyer write a letter in which is sanjay apologized quote unreservedly but the judge appeared on moved she said the song should use his privilege to have a justice and that his seven years in the embassy cost british taxpayers sixteen million times. side the court supporters were vocal in their anger at the sentence many see a soldier as a hero for exposing abuses of power and championing free speech i. did that night. and it is by view as i did through wiki leaks that this sentencing here today. is on outrage. and it's a vindictive in nature. but it doesn't give us a lot of faith in the u.k.

justice system. or the fights that. the case against disowned in britain arose went to swedish women accused him of sexual assault and rape in twenty ten. a song short refuge in the ecuadorian embassy afraid that sweden could actually write him to the u.s. he fears prosecution that over wiki leaks release of millions of classified documents. a song lawyers and that turning their attention to a u.s. extradition request. that have charged him with conspiring to break into a pentagon computer system the first hearing is on thursday. this case is and has always been about the risk of extradition to the united states because we've been saying since two thousand and ten that that risk is real and we now have a provisional extradition request from united states was the focus of our energies

will now be on fighting that extradition request and that fight starts tomorrow that. it's a buffalo songs will be fighting from prison at least for the next fifty weeks but the legal tussle over extradition is likely to last much longer than that.
