thank. god. u.s. special counsel robert concludes a two year probe into alleged trumped russia collusion and recommends a no new indictment. president trump scrapped the latest u.s. sanctions against north korea are unfit to revive storage nuclear talks. and banned from classes pro palestinian students at king's college london say they were locked out during a visit by the queen. a very warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with me nikki our. u.s.

special counsel robin miller has finally submitted his long awaited report on alleged russian involvement in the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election they called for then she has been submitted to the justice department's which says miller has not recommended any new indictments handed more pain is in new york with the latest. report has been submitted the final report from bob muller the special counsel appointed years ago to look into allegations that donald trump had colluded with russia during the two thousand and sixteen elections and at this point no further indictments are being called for 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 that there was nothing for special counsel robert mueller to find he's stood firm in saying that there was nothing to the allegations made against him let it come out let people see it

that's up to the attorney general we have a very good attorney general he's a very highly respected and we'll see what happens but there's no collusion there was no collusion there was no obstruction there was no nothing it appears that this bob mohler report is a bit of a failure it hasn't turned up any big indictments related to russia collusion it's been two years long but we've already heard democratic party leaders talking about other options they have for keeping the scandal these scandalous allegations related to trump and russia alive now adam schiff a democrat in congress recently floated this idea for keeping the story going i said he agreed 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 and anybody around him are 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 two years the report has finally concluded and people are waiting to see what is made public from that report after the u.s. attorney general makes that decision. often very u.s. presidential hopeful for the libertarian party believes the entire murder investigation has been a waste of time what we've seen so far has been basically a joke this whole thing was supposed to find a russia russian colu zhen and so far all the indictments all the guilty pleas and there have been guilty pleas and all the people found guilty in court have been found guilty of things better other than russian collusion so they've been found guilty of all kinds of things you know obstruction just whatever but not of the actual thing this was supposed to be a big whole thing that was going to under under un cover the bunch of petty usual nonsense just normal politics there's nothing here of substance this is not russia inclusion this is a waste of time effort and energy the only reason that such

a thing even even anyone would take it seriously is because the u.s. is currently over involved itself in other countries where it has no business being . donald trump has told the u.s. treasury to cancel the latest sanctions against north korea this comes off the north reportedly pulled itself out of the into korea liaison office the main communication channel between pyongyang and seoul. 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 would through its staff the north said it doesn't mind the south remaining in the office and that it will not 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. tram's olive branch to north korea has

been widely viewed as an attempt to rescue the ongoing nuclear talks and it comes a month after negotiations between trump and kim jong un collapsed at a summit in vietnam are to discuss the latest developments with my colleague you know neal. that lee is office it was only set up you know last year 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 to pyongyang you remember when he was waving hands to all the public and the streets it was really seen as a historic breakthrough a commitment in the office was intended for these kind of face to face contacts not

on the highest level but 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 the office that's what it was designed to do what i would end the any indication of your as to why north korea has pulled its officers that north korea hasn't officially announced that this was drawl was 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. 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 make the situation more dangerous i was supreme leader ship 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 agreement minnesota is a failure was no essentially well essentially runs you say but nothing signed there 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 and analysts are out there 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 this rare to ensure that he doesn't mess things up u.s. north korea talks very delicate fears are the spoiling of time north korea essentially has to get back to the u.s. side wants to go forward and donald trump 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 of very positive relationship and positive denuclearization related negotiations. un human rights council as calls for halt to israeli settlement expansion in the golan heights

a day after donald trump pledged to recognize the disputed area as a 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 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 whatever it takes to reclaim the golan heights where says foreign ministry also condemns the proposal saying it would violate u.n. resolutions and germany and france say they are opposed to any unilateral measures we ask people on the streets of damascus what they think of trams move to recognize the golan heights as israeli. trump's statement is meaningless to the syrians because the truly chits mysie of the land has been clearly stated by the

united nations the syrian people will not surrender. on syrian territory we will not give it up because of what we. hear the trumpet ministration is trying to help netanyahu in the upcoming election. well so us two middle east experts about the shift in u.s. policy on the golan heights they told us it's a breach of international law it seems that donald trump now is the spokesman for netanyahu and he is intervening in the israeli election and he would like 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. 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 status of the golan heights the golan heights is an occupied territory no doubts about this and here comes an american president and say no matter what the international law says no matter what their would say is 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. in reaction to last week's mosque shootings in new zealand the country's largest bookstore chain is revising what's on its shelves placing a ban on one of its bestsellers twelve rules of life and sold over three million copies worldwide it covers

general i mean i don't feel that my disinvited taishan has compromised my free speech ability because i have so many platforms on which i can discuss my ideas but i think that it was handled in an unbelievably unprofessional shoddy and cowardly way i mean i was never even notified formally that this invitation occurred i found out about it through the grapevine and i have no will still have no real explanation for why it happened. only able to surmise the reasons i think that our guy was in cambridge in november and i did a very popular talk there and there was lots of student interest and interest out the faculty of divinity as well and i was really looking forward to working with the experts there on biblical issues and i thought it would have been a very good collaboration for everyone given the popularity of the biblical lecture

series i did a year ago and i think it's i think it's sad stories may's break this strategy is in ten mile after the e.u. summit but that's after the break. regulations well long with the invisible hand because when you every put the spent together they will try to fix prices so the u.s.

. market fundamentalists will believe. price manipulation even more so the profits because profits are the result of the counting of the accounting is the result of the four big accounting firms you can pay to have any result you want. the u.k. prime minister to raise the money has admitted this she may know is pushed to attempts not know the time to push over exit deal through parliament for a third time due to a lack of support and also the european union approved a short delay to break sit in a summit on thursday night despite all the uncertain see the european council president sounded upbeat. really though this development the fate of

bridget. and social our british friends. as they you are for the worst. told for the best. as you love shopping and changing plans that you council did finally come up with that official proposal for to reason my condo with quite strict terms and conditions and 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. coming up with some sort of roadmap a plan as to what exactly to do 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 eve council has moved the powered arms 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 those debates seemingly did take that's all a little bit on that press conference last night.

do if you haven't done so it greased an extension until the. twentieth of april. yes or no yes. on to the very end. i. think due to our poll. and those still empty you learned it means to get a lot of space. i will leave you officials patience isn't endless though 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 try to pass 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. andre walker who's a u.k. based columnist for the new york observer ses to reason may has 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 waltz to

go through to possibly draw agreement that was pretty easy the longer and harder bit 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 you know a genuine legitimate preg said we leave a w t o rules doesn't want that it can't possibly value though it would dearly love to and so then it's a group of graybeards where the where the i think the public politicians get together is they will try and find out how much of the you can we keep the public aid and still get away with it at the moment i don't know exactly how much sideways i'm hoping it zero but how you just got to watch this space. students at king's college london claim they were barred from attending classes because of their pro palestine activism they were told it was because of security reasons during

a visit by the queen spoke to one of the students involved. i went into uni like you know for my eleven am lecture i was like ten for 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 barrier wouldn't open i talked about three times and by the time i kind of psych to myself 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 year religion and politics student was having this conversation with security guards come in the armored car the spin room sort of course. so your request. threshold to leave protocol to be. they're not perfect

a time some of our buildings were not successful the metropolitan police told r.t. that they don't comment on security issues but marines says that talking about political issues shouldn't make her a security right. to iraq now where people in mosul have thrown rocks at the president's convoy and then a show of mass sangar over a ferry disaster in which almost a hundred people died. the president was in the city to meet with security officials and discuss the ongoing search operation in meticulous river protesters blocks the motorcade shouting no to corruption by the head of state managed to leave the scene and this comes after an overcrowded vessel capsized in the river near mosul on thursday among the victims were at least twelve children at least sixty people are still missing. if you'd like to share your
