bill no to the absentee. county no. thank you very much for being with us. the fullest version yetet of the mullet repeports is been releasd the headline is that it doesn't- it that that doesn't. that us president donald trump committed any crime. but also it doesn't exonerate him parts of this version is the redacted and this would increase the claims that there's something to hide questions remain. with the us president commission structure of justice. we really appreciated very much no collusion no obstruction.

the number was b by the way andt never will be. and we do have to get to the bottom of these things i will say and this should never happen this should never happen. to anotother president again. this hoax it should never happen to another president again. thank you donald trump that putting as of his own particular spin on the story that's being informal balanced analysis of things. eric listen -- legal man qualified both in the states and here in france eric all legal experts thank you sir for being with us it's always a pleasure to have you on the program -- is this the victory that trumps trying to make out it is. no it really isn't but you are correct that he's absolutely trying to make it out as a huge victory and he has -- disturbingly in an increasingly apparently recruited the full

throated and willing cooperation of his attorney general william barr and declaring that black is white so to speak -- there has been an obstruction now that the report has finally been released even it's in its redacted version. it does make clear that there were acts of obstruction and all but concludes that leaving the rest for congress the final determination was withheld on sort of a technicality which i can explain -- it but the efforts by the attorney general and the president to say otherwise are not true even on the issue of collusion which the president keeps talking about. the report makes very clear that collusion is not a legal word they're not talking about collusion they're talking about something much more serious and difficult to a proof. in in the context of american federal criminal law which is a conspiracy specifically conspiracy to defraud the united states they concluded there wasn't evidence of an express or

tacit agreement. to violate the laws of the united states beyond a reasonable doubt so they ruled that out but they didn't say anything about collusion in fact much of the four hundred pages or so of the report. talks about what one would normally consider to be collusion such were the extensive ness of the contacts between the trump campaign and russian officials. so inevitably this will raise more questions than it provides ounces. yes i think that was has been expected for a while now ever since the attorney general released his four page. summary which he later said was not a summary which didn't use very much from the actual report and put his own and the president's own gloss on the report that wasn't. distributed -- at that time what we see now even in as i say it's still a redacted versision so there are still substantial portions missing. show that there's a lot to be

questioned about now it's just a matter of time before. bob muller himself testifies before congress how much he'll be willing to say. what remains a mystery and whether the government will try to block him from testifying we're not sure the attorney general said today he would not? so hopefully he will be testifying and the next few weekss will provide more clarity on these issues so it's it's that nana redacted version on which this whole story could hang. that's one issue with that but that is is certainly not the only issue and i don't know if it's the most important one or not at this point. there are so many big questions hanging out there the report even as released publicly today read actions at all and all makes clear that -- muller -- act outlined at approximately ten instances of what he basically said were obstructive

conduct that did obstruct the investigation. he did not reach a conclusion on it because as he explains elsewhere in the report he did feel bound by a policy of the department of justice dating back many years to the nixon administration. that states the president should not be indicted while he is in office and mall or devotes a paragraph orr two a at the beginning of the section on obstruction of justice. explaining that he didn't feel it would be fair to formally accused the president of the crime of obstruction given that there could be no formal charges brought so long as the presiden. was in office so he was not doing so he said he certainly wasn't saying that there wasn't obstruruction -- what he was saying is here's all the evidence from which one could find to that there was obstruction and then in other segments are other language in the report he basically states this is obstruction?

but he's just not formally stating it in the report so i think that is going to be the number one issue that congress is going to need to take up. some people are already talking about taking it up an impeachment proceedings but in one form or another it will have to be examined and that's to say nothing about the russian interference in the election in. which the report confirms was quite substantial and was designed specifically to elect mr trump and was -- as sophisticated effort. their release them as ever thank you very much indeed. and will that be give more reaction to the apple of reports disa. largest ever version of it published so far still redacted though we must -- point that out that's a very much a point of contention. with many people in the united states we can more reaction says because between them in the pas. next french present among american has hailed as exemplary ththe firefighters who saveded. notre dam in the face of the

they do so much hard work and they they go in places where. frankly we wouldn't go if they paid you right now they don't pay combat mode. you know so it's a great people they are and it's great to see them getting knocked out not owners is a i think he's a palace. boats you know you do s still he a lot of p people -- confirmed n social media saying it's in regards of all this let's get out in the streets on saturday and saturday is due to be a big day all of of at mobilise us you are. demonstrating that this is a piece in the guardian saying you know on the one hand what happened this week you could argue politically. it was good for many michael in the sense of the the right reflexes in postponing his pants beat she it's a catastrophe that would offer a chance to him for him to become bring the nation together in some respects and he did have a lot of rhetoric. onon tuesdsday that t that was speakingng allll of that. the p paris on its capapacity to unitite and said to all of thout i saw some something that you know it could serve him politically at a time when he was very weakened. but the thing is that speech has been leaked the speech he was

much liver monday leaked. and it's been vastly and widely criticized by as the sources that the lead of the socialist party by right wing politicians are saying basically that he was and what we're going to try to save hospitals the schools but he's still going to go ahead and call 1-002-000-0 public jobs. some people say well how can you do both you know you called in public health and sybil's exam does seem counterintuitive that's right and so people sing symbolic measures such as doing away with the lease at public affairs school at am out. and he thought was one possible thing that's going to be at that was possibly going to be nuts not speech. but some saying look you know couldn't you reform the entry process as opposed to do away with that show. so is this looks like the school that is kind of my train so generations of french leaders that's right most and pretty much all different presidents and the fifth repubublic at w wt to their part from the concert because he believed. i put in any case at eight he is a likely he basically he it was expected on monday that was going. to get our can a rough time for those cononclusions -- to vision to the ground to base it looks now from the leaked version that

was accurate that he was going to get so what he's going to what he's going to do now. is unclear it when he's going to deliver that speech. we don't know yes. yeyes yes on saturday is going o be another big day of of of of judicial. m. m. demonstrating so it looks like that that the not on fire it did. give him a reprieve if you like from the political realities but it will be back to those places around he's pretty quickly but those things one is about public opinion in the g. they shown in the in the wake of what's happened and how it's all going the e must. bebe some judaism fifty kickingn for obviously in a priority when james will see on saturday guys ever thank you from julie france cream gold mediawatch great you cover the business thank you. and the things you've watching di
