seemed like a drunk on off ensues the as an about his own success and so he was like walking on air the speech was big and rambling he promised to fix all the ills great britain has been suffering from from for decades from the ailing health system to social care the under funded schools and just everything he has a magic money tree in the backyard of downing street 10 downing street of course it shows that he's going to turn away from years of austerity and he just wants to spend money now the other main message of course was rex it will take place in the 31st of october no ifs and buts boris johnson said and also of course we heard it he immediately pointed the finger at brussels if they will not give him what he wants if they will not renegotiate that was drawn agreement it will be their fault and then britain will have to go out with

a heart for exit and just crush out of the european union and the border you've covered politics in britain but also european union politics for a long time today when boris johnson basically put the blame for a possible new deal breaker at the foot of europe how do you think that is going to go down with european union leaders. everybody of course has been expecting this i mean the blame game has been going on throughout those negotiations throughout those last 2 and a half years but still it's going to be to go down like a big glass of nasty sludge because everybody knows it will be back to 0 was boris johnson we will have to revisit the european union all the places that we've been at before it will be there is wrong it will be that he will see that european union will not reopen it and so we will look for compromise this is there anything that he could possibly accept and in the end heartbreaks it has become so much more

likely after we heard today's speech because he seems to be dead set on this we win it all we just going to go out with a bang and slam the door after us. strong and he's been busy today he's now making his cabinet picks what do we know so far barbara named there's a look like that breaks in tears we're going to be in charge of the. there is going to be a strong brick secure faction in this cabinet this was not a cabinet reef reshuffle it was the most brutal most bloody. minute rebuilding london has seen for decades more or less it was the long night the night of the long knives during daytime because almost everybody men and mounds of to reserve maize given it particularly the remainders where just sent out to grass and just a few very few were handpicked to return so generous johnson could could put sort

of keep up the pretense that he won 3 unite the party however he's going to find on the back benches and parliament now a rebel army full of frustrated and angry tory members who feel that they've been cheated out of their offices and so that doesn't mean very much that doesn't really show well for the future if he has to come to parliament was a bracks a deal all without it he wus. on the story for someone else line number 10 downing street in london thank you. and here are some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world the reigning in president hassan rouhani has suggested his country might release a u.k. flagship if britain takes similar steps to release an iranian oil tanker which was seized by the british navy gibraltar earlier this month iran's revolutionary guard seized the stand in peril in the strait of hormuz on friday they claim it violated

election and whether the trump campaign colluded with moscow he told lawmakers today the investigation found inadequate evidence to prove a conspiracy but he said once again his investigation did not clear trump of obstructing justice many are viewing bowler's testimony today as a last chance for democrats to build a case for impeaching the president. robert mueller who spent 2 years leading an investigation determining if president trump had colluded with russia did not look like he wanted to be there but for democrats and republicans in congress this was an opportunity to get their points across live on t.v. the report did not include he did not committed structure of justice. that is correct and what about total exoneration if you actually totally exonerate the

present you know and in fact your reports expressly states that it does not exonerate the press it does democrats were disappointed that the miller report found no smoking gun but hope that enough of the dirt will stick to dampen trump's prospects in the 2020 election republicans he's the hearing to hammer home their view of the president's innocence in their questions to a frail looking and distracted miller. report is it true the evidence gathered during your best occasion did not establish that the president was involved in the underlying crime related to russian election and affairs as stated in volume one page 7 we found insufficient evidence of. the president's call culpability. so that would be yes without part b. yes yes thank you. moller was reluctant to give informative answers and repeatedly

deflected questions by referring to his report. trump whose reputation is at stake claim to have little interest in the hearing i know i'm not going to be watching probably maybe i'll see a little bit of it i'm not going to be what watching moller. because you can't take all those bytes out of the apple we had no collusion no obstruction we had no nothing we had a total no collusion finding but a series of tweets fired off by trump ace the hearing was underway made clear that the president was watching he saw a special counsel determined not to take sides in a divided congress. the movie actor rutger hauer has a dog at the age of 75 the hollywood stars agent confirming that howard passed away last week after a short illness after starting his career as a versatile leading man in the 1970 s. how work made his name playing darker more menacing characters he was best known
