7:01 pm
special counsel robert mueller has finally submitted his long awaited report on alleged russian involvement in the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election the confidential document is in the hands of the attorney general tell it more pain is in new york with the latest. after two years it seems that the final report from bob mahler's investigation into allegations of collusion of trump and russia during the twenty sixteen presidential campaign has been submitted to the u.s. department of justice now it will be up to the attorney general to determine what amount of that report is made available to the public we also understand that at this point bob muller has made clear he wants no further indictments related to this investigation we're hearing from the white house which has spoken up and said the next steps are up to attorney general barr and we look forward to the process taking its course white house has not seen the report does not know what it contains it was simply submitted to the department of justice has long maintained there was nothing for special counsel robert mueller to find he's stood firm in
7:02 pm
saying that there was nothing to the allegations made against him we heard from adam schiff who is a leader of the democratic party in the u.s. congress and he floated the idea about another investigation related to trump and russia this is adam schiff speaking on wednesday on m.s.n. b.c. i certainly agree that the counterintelligence investigation may be more important than the criminal investigation because it goes to present threat to our national security whether the president or anybody around him or compromised by foreign powers there's been many occasions in which the u.s. public was told that some kind of bombshell or groundbreaking revelation was about to be revealed but it seems that the two years the report has finally concluded the report was submitted to the justice department there is a call for no further indictments and people are waiting to see what is made public from that report after the u.s. attorney general makes that decision. donald trump has told the u.s. treasury to cancel the latest sanctions against north korea this comes off to the
7:03 pm
north reportedly pulled that stuff and have the into korean liaison office the main communication channel between pyongyang and so on. north korea informed us this morning that it would pull out its staff from the liaison office on instructions from a superior authority and it withdrew its staff the north said it doesn't mind the south remaining in the office and that it will not a fight on further practical matters in the future our government finds the north decision regrettable and it is hoped that the north returns its staff to the liaison office for normal operation as it was agreed between the two countries. trans olive branch to north korea has been widely viewed as an attempt to rescue the ongoing nuclear talks it comes a month after negotiations between trump and kim jong un collapse at a summit in vietnam are to sleep trying to discuss the latest developments with my colleague you know new. that lee is office it was only set up you know last year
7:04 pm
was and it's not widely known just prick it done what it actually does the creation the setting up of this office was this little baby step towards reunification towards closer ties and we know that when it comes to the things happening on the korean peninsula and the baby step is important as you said it was only set up six months ago after that historic visit south korea's president moon to pyongyang you remember when he was waving hands to all the public and the streets it was really seen as a historic breakthrough. the office was intended for these kind of face to face contacts not on the highest level but in between some sort of officials and diplomats which used to be rare but now it looks like this will have to be put on hold for a while maybe for good we don't know if baby steps but important steps all the same office that's what it was designed to do what i would end the any indication of
7:05 pm
your as to why north korea has pulled its officers the north korea hasn't officially announced that this was draw what's happening so we don't really know what the reason is what we do know is that it happened right after the americans decided to punish two chinese companies for doing business with gang and diplomats in beijing have already called this kind of thing unacceptable they believe that these kind of moves should only be made after some sort of decisions by the u.n. so there you have it after the donald trump. summit in one noise this was the first action taken by washington against north korea and anyone who is dealing with it and you know all this thaw and all these friendship between donald trump and chairman kim they may end up being absolute. irrelevant when the u.s.
7:06 pm
sanctions alarm goes off and i'll tell you what officials in north korea have recently said that they aren't feeling that americans were making any steps to loosen their stranglehold when it comes to all this pressure on north korea the show me if the united states was not interested in improving with career u.s. relations or implementing the june twelfth joint declaration rather it was only trying to produce results for political achievement i will make this clear the forceful stance of the u.s. will certainly make the situation more dangerous i was supreme leadership can clarify its decision soon the u.s. president loves to brag about how great he is making all these moves towards peace on the korean peninsula but as you've said in her noyo there was no peace agreements i know there's a failure was that essentially well essentially rise you say but nothing sign there
7:07 pm
and it appears that kim jong il didn't bend under all this might of donald trump's diplomatic skills and now it looks like the dollar from the ministration is at a crossroads they should decide whether they want to continue to play that role as a great peacemaker for korea or they want to go back to the role of the bad cop who keeps lobbying everyone around the world with sanctions asia analysts are up to told us donald trump is trying to reduce the negative impact of sanctions against north korea. we'll then i think a couple of weeks we will hear back from the north korean side as to how they would like to proceed for the the ball really resides on the north korean side on hold they will respond after hanoi and i think donald trump is going a little bit out a little out of his route to ensure that he doesn't mess things up u.s. north korea talks very delicate fears are the spoiling of time north korea
7:08 pm
essentially has to get back to the u.s. side wants to go forward and dark rum doesn't want to do that in a negative direction by imposing a new whole set of sanctions and that's why he's kind of trying to ensure that at least i believe there are two leader level there's good communication and a good relationship because he believes north korea is a top down society and of kim jong un can take that strategic decision which he needs to make it will unlock the door to of very positive relationship and positive denuclearization related negotiations. the un human rights council has called for a whole two israeli settlement expansion in the golan heights a day after donald trump pledged to recognize the disputed area as part of israel the region was seized from syria back in one thousand nine hundred eighty seven. after fifty two years it's time for the united states to fully recognize israel sovereignty over the golan heights which is
7:09 pm
a critical strategic and security importance the state of israel and regional stability the israeli prime minister welcomes the move and thanks donald trump and surprisingly syria has a very different view its foreign ministry said trump decision changes nothing and the syrian people will do what ever it takes to reclaim the golan heights russia's foreign ministry also condemns the proposal saying such a move would violate a number of un resolutions and germany and france say they are opposed to any unilateral measures wealth to middle east experts where the situation could lead. it seems that donald trump now is the spokesman for netanya and he is intervening in the israeli election and he would like netanyahu to win this election so i wouldn't be surprised when he meet him in the white house next week next wednesday i think you will give him a huge prison which is that ignition of the israeli sovereignity or.
7:10 pm
totally cynically it's breaking all the international rules and international law i mean there isn't the whole one in the world i guess who has any doubts about the legal to start of the golan heights the golan heights is an occupied territory no doubts about this and here comes an american president then say no matter what the international laws say no me towards the would say we recognize it is an israeli city because israel holds it for so many years so why not if we follow this. really raises a lot of questions about a lot of other occupations all over the world. european union has rejected to resume a's request for a three month delay to break that the e.u. is offering
7:11 pm
a shorter postponement and only on the condition that the british parliament approves the unpopular withdrawal deal painstakingly negotiated by the british prime minister and brussels on friday the european council president sounded upbeat about the extension. really about this development the fate of brigit. and so far over to strengthen. the e.u. we are prepared for the worst. but hope for the best. if you love. after a seemingly endless lot of debate discussion. and shopping and changing plans the e.u. council did finally come up with that official proposal for to reason may come though with quite strict terms and conditions an extension of article fifty until the twenty second of may conditional upon her passing a plan through parliament a further extension until the twelfth of april conditional upon the u.k.
7:12 pm
coming up with some sort of road map a plan as to what exactly to do and the possibility of yet another further as yet indefinite extension conditional upon the u.k. participating in european parliamentary elections that is something to resume a has said is a red line for her and would of course be rather pointless given the u.k. has decided to leave the european union in the press conference this morning donald tusk was quite clever with his wording he stated that anything is possible that they're hoping for the best and hope dies last we know what that means of course with this proposal the e.u. council has moved the paradigms of this debate right away from the prospect of a no deal hard bricks at further towards the possibility of a deal further extensions or even the possibility of revoking article fifty and the u.k. staying in the european union as donald tusk said to one journalist in that conference he's more pro british than the journalist is nevertheless though the long hours of
7:13 pm
those debate seemingly did take their toll a little bit on that press conference last night. do if you're able to also agree still an extension until the. twentieth of april. yes or no yes. on to the very end. i. think to our poll. and there's still empty in the end it means that that a lot of space. i will leave you officials patience isn't endless though
7:14 pm
chris said that kicking the can down the road isn't an option because the road in perspective is a short one and this was something echoed by german chancellor angela merkel that. we have for the time being prevented and no deal brax it on the twenty ninth of march but these a very short periods of time so britain have to make clear what path that wishes to pursue you so it's official you can master to the e.u. said tim borrow has written to the council accepting their proposal and now it's all eyes away from brussels back to westminster words the reason may will try to pass her plan and nobody really knows what's going to happen in parliament next week what we can say for sure is that it's shaping up to be one of the most crucial weeks in the house of commons in decades if not in generations can the reason may get lucky and get her deal passed through the house of commons or this time next week will we once again be in some sort of political limbo stay tuned to find out
7:15 pm
andre walker who's a u.k. based columnist for the new york observer phase two is the may has at home almost no chance of getting a breakthrough deal through parliament. there is no realistic prospect of. withdrawal deal passing i think everybody knows that if you look at what happened yesterday in brussels there was a very short discussion about extending article fifty to allow the law to last to go through to pass a withdrawal agreement that was pretty easy the longer and harder pay for the european council members was to think about what happens if indeed when how withdrawal agreements is defeated next week i think the big difficulty for this actually is not so much on the withdrawal agreements the problem is that parliament cult decides what it wants it's not going to support a no deal preg say or it's a genuine legitimate preg said we leave a deputy overrules doesn't want that it can't possibly value that would dearly love to and so then it's a group of graybeards where the where the i think the public politicians get
7:16 pm
together is they will try and find out how much of the e.u. can we keep the public aid i'm still get away with it at the moment i don't know exactly how much i days i'm hoping it zero but how you just got to watch the space opposition politicians in calendar are accusing the prime minister of being a fake feminist we have that story and most of those who come in the program this break. they'll call straight in the electoral college lowered the voting age to sixteen allowing non-citizens to vote and to pack the supreme court with more in tartus and judges what is happening here well it would seem if you can't win on the merit of ideas that all you need to do is to radically change the system.
7:17 pm
you need regulations and well long with the invisible hand because when you every put the spent together they will try to fix prices so the us is like saying well this crap that will end up with market fundamentalists really believe in price and price manipulation even more so the profits because profits are the result of the accounting and the accounting is the result of the four big accounting firms that you can pay to have any result you want. join me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to get through the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. welcome back students like kings college london claimed they were balls from attending classes because of their pro palestine activism they were told it was
7:18 pm
because of security reasons during a visit by the queen polly boyko spoke to one of the students involved. before my eleven am back shows like ten from the emotional time it was i walked in and i got my id card i tapped on the barrier and it wouldn't it wouldn't work the body wouldn't open i talked to about three times and by the time i kind of psyched to my fall apart i knew that this was intentional marines a student at king's college london but for one day this week she wasn't she was barred while king's was hosting the queen. around the time of this grand entrance on the all the signs of the building the second day religion and politics student was having this conversation with security guards come in the armored car the spin room sort of record. for your request. threshold to leave profiled me. they're not perfect and you see what they did she
7:19 pm
wasn't the only one experiencing this issue. it was here that marine tried to get into her university for a second time but she says she was told by security guards here that she was one of several students who had been barred from her own university for the duration of the queen's visit now marina and her friends say that they've been politically profiled for their history of peaceful demonstrations over issues such as palestine demos like this was it in this group. who are dying because you are who the north people think is not ok or does. maureen doesn't have a criminal record she claims she was just singled out by her university for being a politically minded muslim woman i must be paying student i pay nine thousand
7:20 pm
pounds right and i'm i'm not allowed to go to my lecture because i'm a carry a security guard to the. we've. got rages since the incident the students have staged more protests highlighting what happened to them and demanding on says. i. king's college london is one of the u.k.'s oldest universities that occupies several buildings in central london and the queen and the duchess of cambridge were here opening this new building bush house now r.t. put the students allegations to the university and the response we got was simply that there was an event here that required the highest level of security we had an event on tuesday which demanded the highest level of security and we had to minimize movement three buildings for security reasons at
7:21 pm
a time some of our buildings were not successful the metropolitan police told r.t. that they don't comment on security issues but marine says that talking about political issues shouldn't make her a security. canadian opposition lawmaker has lashed out at the prime minister calling him a fake feminist and a fiery parliamentary session michelle ron paul accused justin trudeau of silencing powerful women in an ongoing corruption scandal. the use of the term them in this way i ask one more time if this prime minister such a minute why did she say what muscling the former attorney general. or foremost tony general who the lawmaker just mentioned is one of four top officials to have resigned in a bribery case that shaken the canadian government jody wilson raybold says she was pressured by trudeau to drop an investigation into the engineering firm s n c
7:22 pm
larger than it's one of the world's largest engineering and construction firms in two thousand and fifteen s.n.c. love a level it was charged with bribery and fraud in libya it allegedly paid ninety eight million dollars to gadhafi era officials to secure lucrative contracts including the world's biggest irrigation project in the wake of these scandals trudeau's approval ratings have slumped from forty one percent in january down to thirty three percent i mean widespread calls for his resignation but the prime minister has denied any wrongdoing. and lifestyle always acted appropriately and professionally. now across live to lauren southern a journalist on the filmmaker behind the documentary border less to discuss this further welcome to the program now justin trudeau has long prided himself on being a champion of women's rights but now it was issued politicians are saying none of
7:23 pm
this was genuine is that a fair allegation do you think. right i think the idea that none of it was genuine is a much better accusation than those who are saying he's lost his feminist credentials because i don't think he had any in the first place a lot of people like trudeau i'd say like the clintons in the states they sort of lick their finger and put it in the air and see which way the wind is blowing and it turned out during trudeau's election that feminism was a massive issue and he's going to go where the votes are so if he has to say he's a feminist to get votes and support he's going to do that and if he has to abandon his feminism and throw a woman under the bus like jodie wilson raybold in order to get more votes in quebec which is what he was trying to do he will do that because it turned out s. and c. level and was more important than his feminism that day i don't think he was ever a feminist just like i don't think someone like hillary clinton really cares that
7:24 pm
much about things like gay marriage because she has said in the past i don't support gay marriage and that when it's a popular issue with the public she says i do support it it's simply a matter of where the wind blows so much you know just has to say he's a feminist in public to get that support but in private well the press aren't seeing that the media is not seeing that so he can intimidate women as much as he wants he can support a company that are using prostitutes to bribe gadhafi sons and have no issue with it as long as it's not affecting what is because of voting record through the lives and unfortunately it seems that it's come to life and now we're going to have to have a public discussion about that between poll also record out dismissed groping allegations put forward against him by a female reporter and we see the pattern of hypocrisy or is it all being blown out of proportion. well it's not just with trudeau it seems that some of the most vocal
7:25 pm
feminists within the media and within society in general are having all of these accusations of not being so feminist in private i mean we can talk about the me too movement in hollywood the ever so progressive ever so feminist hollywood or you look at a website like mike jack smith one of their main reporters on issues of sexism racism and social justice has had women come out that dated him previously that have said this man is not a feminist in his private life he has been horrific to women the problem is that it is so easy to say on screen i'm a feminist i'm a progressive it's just one tweet but we all know that actions speak louder than words and it looks like to those actions are speaking for him now and he's going to have hell to pay for it i sure hope so at least because if the liberals don't start speaking up about this they're going to be put in the hypocrite basket with him as they should and with his ratings that the lowest since he took office in twenty
7:26 pm
fifteen what kind of impact you think this could have on kind of election in october very quickly please it's tough because everything's quite up in the air there's been scandals with certainly the n.d.p. party i think that the conservatives are not their strongest right now in fact they have been just as up in the air with their views trying to appeal to just what the public likes and not actual conservative opinions but this will certainly make it a closer election than i initially thought and i think the conservatives could have a chance at taking things if trudeau continues down this road of scandal after scandal lauren southern gentlemen found filmmaker thank you for your time. thank you well those are the headlines for you this hour we will be back in thirty minutes with the latest studies that if we can.
7:27 pm
break said count down. we still cannot provide the maritime border the number of trespassers on the on the land border between turkey and greece is increasing so there's a friend of a next big vague because the policy of rural communities still kind of considered as an invitation in the minds of those people looking for in them in a situation when they can make a decision to leave and come to europe. you know world of big partisan movies lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bats and shouting past each other
7:28 pm
it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. all power to the people. believe it for i would judge of people. that believe. me though good day when you step out of the stores you must realize who you are fighting oh no oh i get hundred oh great fears oh oh oh the pressure.
7:29 pm
you know no front. oh. great. aren't you the. only people we have the right your guns we mean just so that people understand you know the small window what's out there in the world. but you're not going to focus and walk it's the most ubiquitous gun out there most police departments use it but whatever gun you want to learn how to use doors open will teach whatever you want. to tell my teachers who get paid to follow natural laws will be caring if i can learn because you will get paid a little well left up to a paycheck you think r.c.l. are you going to squeeze your hand then and make sure you figure stays off the trigger for both pentagons of this position and then make sure you set your hand and glove both or so which one of those open ended express this part of the weather
7:30 pm
and that will go waiting here just like that with you with if you go straight now you want to clip the gun firmness of a good hand shoot no more and that's all right so just to from mention. my name is telephone and i will accept a director and sounder yes fairly which is all that works with young adults who've dropped out of schools and are trying to find. high school so they come to us because they want to finish their education age sixteen to twenty one which is the age that we work with young people are deciding what they want to be doing and they're deciding how to if they want to change if they are if they want to be not like their parents not like their neighbors not like some of the they come from very rough communities and this is a chance what this is a time when if they
