u.s. special counsel robots will conclude the probe into. russia conversion and recommends the new indictment. the british prime minister tells a divided parliament that the good votes on have been brags that they'll put now be on the concert despite the. extra time to get it off. the minister subject to the next what you see was muscling the former attorney. made in prime minister justin trudeau as more by conservatives and accused of being a fake feminist in the wake of a corruption scandal that threatens to topple his government.

it's nine o'clock here in moscow and you're watching international live from our studio with me. into the program. u.s. special counsel robert mueller has finally submitted his long awaited report on the alleged russian involvement in the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election the company document has been submitted to the justice department which says miller has not recommended any new indictments. is in new york with the latest. report has been submitted the final report from bob mohler 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. 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 miller 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 the 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 and bill right u.s. presidential hopeful libertarian party believes the entire 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 this was supposed to be a big whole thing that was going to under under uncover some connection between trump and russia and it turns out to be just a bunch of petty usual nonsense just normal politics this is not rush inclusion

this is a waste of time effort and energy so i expected or democrats will drag this out as much as they possibly can not because they think there's anything to be found but because they know that this trial this kind of circ is is helping to energize the democratic base helping them to say look trump is really bad for these reasons. a canadian opposition lawmaker has lashed out at the prime minister calling him a fake feminist in a fiery parliamentary session shall play a key justin trudeau of silencing powerful women in an ongoing corruption scandal. the use of the term them and they are asking one more time if this prime minister stuck to them and that's why you see the former attorney general. the former attorney general who the law maker just mentioned is one of four top officials to have resigned in a bribery case that's shaken the canadian government jody wilson raybold says she

was pressured by trudeau to drop an investigation into canadian engineering giant s. and c. level in the company is also one of the world's largest construction firms in twenty fifteen s. and c. level and was charged with bribery and fraud in libya it allegedly paid ninety eight million dollars to gadhafi era officials to secure new creative contracts including the world's biggest irrigation project in the wake of the scandal trudeau's approval ratings have slumped from forty one percent in january down to thirty three percent this month and the widespread calls for his resignation the canadian prime minister has denied any wrongdoing insisting he was safeguarding the interest of his. i and my staff always acted appropriately and professionally we of course had discussions about the potential loss of nine thousand jobs in communities across the country he spoke to canadian journalist

lawrence southern who says justin trudeau i mean isn't claims have been used to score political points. this is not about holding true to one's values it is not about actually having a code of ethics it is about winning elections you know government has made it such a priority they have used accusations of sexism they have used the term feminist to prop up their party so much that the other conservatives are almost forced to bring this up in the conversation because they have made it such an important political debate so if your party is going to be about equality half women half men in the parliament that is going to be the hill that your party guys on that you better stand on it and if you're going to use that as a weapon well then be prepared for that to be used as a weapon against you trudeau when you don't live up to your own values 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. front is bracing for a nother we can develop best protest but that's the difference this time around the french army general says soldiers may open fire if lives put at risk auntie's medina cochon of the reports from paris. another week and other protests but this time opening fire at crowds is apparently an option they can see in your days the order of the soldiers is strictly set out extremely precise they have different modes of action to face all threats one could go as far as a fire if they're all someone else's life is it this saturday over five thousand armed soldiers will be in the streets there is the us are divided over the prospect with some calling it catastrophic believe me i think this is an extreme measure obviously this will not solve everything but at least it will help to avoid further destruction i don't don't know for sure i don't think anything good will come of the government's decision to use this but if you see his own ask for what he did

last saturday burned down restaurants and so on i think this is a necessary measure to see but. it's not the army's mission shows the failure of the government and the failure of our petition is so you know. i think if the army opens file it will prove that crisis management is not sufficient so i think they're bringing the army as a way of responding to the crisis but it's not a solution to the problem politicians from across the political spectrum have reacted with anger to this latest measure it's a serious mistake imagine them standing in front of the national assembly or elysee palace in a horse descend on them what happens to them will they be fired on will people be killed in thirty seventeen emanuel mccrone promised to appease friends in twenty one thousand he suggests that the military could shoot at demonstrators mechanism is fracturing france and sending it into there. just to push. you michael

this time you have gone too far mr macro you have to know how not to push the entire country into a settling of schools and it's time to return to more proportional methods the whole world would be horrified to learn that here in france we're using the same methods that we condemn when they are used in other countries here. and. mission to putting soldiers on the streets in order to prevent another wave of violence the french president has decided to close several i cannae klug marks including this famous avenue. on saturday anyone protesting here will face a fine to up to one hundred thirty five euros it will follow these announcements and not the result of the palace news or rather of public order responses to this precise reality accordingly who look at it just.

was. it seems to be going up security on the streets is the only solution to this crisis that i'm in i am a crown can see and he's now turning his attention to other challenges today brics it for me is not a technical not patient it's true it's a political lesson for anything else we have to acknowledge that china has been playing on our divisions i believe that when anyone brings their domestic problems or divisions to the european council it is waste of time i don't and i don't have time to waste a room. the nineteenth weekends of protests just now here at the french capital is braised for a fresh outpouring of anger and the protesters have adopted the slogan the war has been declared. a petition calling for brakes it to be cancelled has reached nearly four million signatures since wednesday setting a record for the parliament website it comes amid increasing uncertainty over the

future of the u.k.'s divorce from the on thursday british prime minister theresa may was in brussels to negotiate an extension to the withdrawal deadline disagree to a two week delay until may the twenty second parliament passes her twice rejected like the deal if not she'll have only until april the twelfth because expected throwing bragg's it into even further disarray following all the twists and turns of this saga is polyploidy. remember that simpsons episode where bart keeps touching the electrified cupcake. like it was imagining to get her brags that deals. are used to the right two hundred into. the nose to the left four hundred and thirty two raised to the right. moves to the left three hundred nineteen so the

nose. the woman tasked with leading the country at its greatest hour since world war two hasn't got many people queuing up to defend britain's departure from the e.u. is likely to be delayed and the wheels off or walling off the brags that bus but if you think about it the reason may wasn't the one that called the referendum in the first place a certain previous prime minister did and she has hammered out that deal with the e.u. like she was supposed to. but the politicians in parliament won't sign off on it because some of them are hard bragg's it is that want to stick it to brussels and many of them remain is that want to stick with brussels and pleasing the politicians in a predominantly remain a parliament while carrying out the will of the people is turning into an impossible task the prime minister must bring sixty votes prime minister what

changed when i asked the minister if she will make a statement you must first write a letter to brussels she is the roadblock to this house reaching majority something she's like the time she couldn't get out of the car carrying the poisoned brags that chalice our prime minister is traipsing around the continent in pursuit in search of warm words when she can get out of the car to hear the schoolyard taunting hasn't stopped. you might recall from previous comments i've made about cricket that one of my cricket heroes was always geoffrey boycott and what do you know about geoffrey boycott geoffrey boycott stuck to it and he got the runs in the end she may still be the captain but her team have denounced her broken her bat and are still sending her to play against crossroads all the while demanding that she win this mission to disaster week rick rick even donald voices of support

are rare i don't always agree with her but i know her to be a woman of coverage and i feel sorry of with her this morning let down by the disloyalty of so many of her colleagues and i also feel sorry for her because we have actually given her an impossible task for critics though there's no excusing mazed bungled bragg's it with public anger over brags that running high laughing at the prime minister has become a national pastime. come with me and together let's see the day. mean. it's. playing and. everything like that i. got a number. and who can forget

the best one liner she's ever delivered bricks it means bricks it appears for now to reason may is likely to be seen as the gregs it my minister and her legacy depends on it how message to the people of britain is that she is trying her hardest to deliver britain's departure from the e.u. is this i am absolutely sure you the public have had enough your charge of the infighting your charge of the political games and the arcane procedural rounds tired of m.p.'s talking about nothing else but bricks it when you have real concerns about our children's schools our national health service knife crime. i agree i am on your side she might be forgiven for wondering if there is anyone left on her as. professor of european law francesco visitor who believes

that the brakes it process has gridlocked u.k. politics with no end in sight. this is symptomatic of the fact you know our politics politics in the u.k. is basically stalled i actually think it's quite fascinating that she's going to try and sneak her deal through as one of the seven with variations on it now obviously i i don't think that can be stopped but she still intent on trying to push through or do europe has been defeated torrents in record terms i think that we have there's through very very serious crisis it's as if the referendum in two thousand and sixteen froze every really it's become the total you know the route through contradict it was a trip down to sixty said we're leaving and of course we need to know that because we really do need to the right through it and everybody else to do is make you not

want to move. on as well as foreign minister has called on donald trump and the vice us president to step down for the future of all humanity he was responding to mike pence his insistence that nicolas maduro must go u.s. national security adviser john bolton earlier said there are thousands of americans in venezuela right now and that is washington's duty to protect them here's a closer look at the trump administration's stance towards caracas. we have many options for venezuela including a possible military option if necessary. we are desperately trying to get humanitarian assistance. we can help the better as well of people achieve the democracy that they're demanding we're prepared to do. that as well as active

cells the iranians are impacting the people of venezuela and throughout south america. venezuela there between forty and fifty thousand american citizens and the government of the united states has no higher duty internationally than to protect its citizens from. coming up in just a minute donald trump takes the pressure off for north korea by revoking the latest u.s. sanctions on the home state. i do think the numbers mean something they matter to us as over one trillion dollars of debt more than ten white collar crime families each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be ultra rich he would six percent of the world market

close to thirty percent some would four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and fifth point rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overall. the only number you need remember one one just to show you know bored to miss the one and only film but. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then.

welcome back to the program the impartiality of u.k. immigration officials has been called into question after it was revealed that they used bible claims to reject asylum seekers. in the twenty six god states he will pursue your enemies and they will fall by the sword before you the book of revelation is filled with imagery of revenge destruction death and violence these examples are inconsistent with your claim that you converted to christianity after discovering it is a peaceful religion the church of england was left unimpressed saying. and that an asylum seekers' fate might be decided by a misunderstanding of sacred text the home office says the rejection letter was an anomaly not in line with his general policies and that it will work on training staff the latest figures show that asylum applications in the u.k. which almost thirty thousand and twenty eight hundred sixty seven percent of applicants are rejected first time around we spoke with chairman of an immigration

consultancy firm he thinks that the home office is looking for excuses to turn down refugees. it is surprising that the home office should behave the way bart do you know unfortunately in some respects it's not surprising because they are quite unreasonable around help for. looking for excuses to turn down asylum cases even cases which many people would consider to be quite sure anyway you know the unfortunate there we are the home office. quite inventive in a way and come up with you know a whole range of reasons to fuse asylum you know which can be completely unjustified you know unfortunately governments want to have been tough on immigration and the home office are under pressure to be nasty are helpful and so on for sure that's what's happening so perhaps it's not just the home office

officials force was also the government's for for encouraging officials to be nasty and helpful. u.s. president trump has ordered his treasury to cancel additional sanctions against north korea in the decision over twitter earlier though u.s. national security advisor john bolton noted the importance of the measures against north korea trans decision comes after the withdrawal of north korean staff from the entire korean liaison office. north korea informed us this morning. that it would you want it staff from the liaison office on instructions from the superior authority and it would staff the north said it doesn't mind the south remaining in the office and that it will notify on further practical matters in the future our government finds the north's decision regrettable and it is hoped that the north returns its staff to the liaison office for normal operations as it was agreed between the two countries on into korean

liaison office was opened in september tenth regular communications on various issues and functions as a defacto anderson it's not clear if the withdrawal of the north korean staff was connected to the threat of further sanctions but asia analyst says comes decision to cancel additional restrictions as a response to the withdrawal within 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 how they will respond after hanoi and i think donald trump is going a little way out a little out of his way to ensure that he doesn't mess things up u.s. north korea talks side of a very delicate fears or this point of time north korea essentially has to get back to the u.s. how it 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 at the leader to leader level there's good communication and a good relationship because he believes not 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. social media network instagram plans to blog and vaccine hashtags after a backlash against medical information. it's possible work to address health related misinformation on instagram we're looking at ways to minimize recommendations of this content and accounts the post at the cross instagram the company's decision to come after america's biggest outbreak of results in recent years medical data indicates the number of cases grew significantly in twenty eighteen one of the main reasons is thought to be the large number of unvaccinated

people lawmakers on public health up the cats have been pushing the country's largest social media companies to take stronger action against vaccine content besides instagram facebook plans to reduce the ranking of groups and pages that spread misinformation about vaccinations and you tube said it's also pulling ads from that is claiming they violate its policies against harmful or dangerous acts. we discussed the issue with radio host and political commentator dave pericles he thinks that social media users should have access to all sides of any event. i am concerned deeply concerned that instagram has put itself in the position of not only rendering expertise on what looks to me like a medical matter but also in the position of judging what people should hear and what they should not hear in a free country in a free world in a modern world we should all get to hear all the sides of every argument and we should all be allowed to make up our own mind i'm closer to pro vaccine that anti

but i would very much like to know that nothing is being kept from me while i finish making up my mind instagram has put itself in the position of doing exactly that keeping information from me and if i were a parent with a young child it's information i would be vitally concerned about so yeah that's very troubling. much more to come here a lot international i'll be back in around thirteen minutes with more news updates but up next it's black lives agents of change. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the ball different clubs on one hand it is logical to sit in the home field where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and the fresh perspective i'm used to suppressing. or not if.

i'm going to talk about football not the or else in the sink i was going to do. by the way what is it that's like here. is an officer. told them to get up off the ground after begin to. hurt themselves on the sounds of. a grown man mislead essentially. john. twisted away from the officer. they obviously did a kind of lunge for the web in one smith's and then when it happened on trace one as i didn't hit him i never saw any contact between the two any kind went back to where they were so the officers back here there try again fifteen feet apart at this point and that's when the officer pulled his gun and even turned three.

you need regulations and well along with the invisible hand because when you every put respond to gether they will try to fix prices so in the us it's like saying all this crap that will end up with market fundamentals 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. to. oh why would kind of people. believe it for i would judge of people. that

believe. the little good day when you step out of the stores you must realize you are fighting oh no oh who gets hundred. prices go up the price yet. you all know. you. hate you aren't you the. only people we have a variety of guns we remain just so that people understand you know the small window what's out there in the world. but you're not going to focus a lot it's the most ubiquitous gun out there most police departments use it but whatever gun you want to learn how to use the doors open will teach you whatever you want. to tell my teachers who get paid to follow our international law isn't really caring if i put an arm or not because you will get paid. to think or see

whether you want to squeeze your hand then and make sure your finger stays off the trigger or both into guns in this position and then make sure you set your hand and properly so if you want to do is open and express this part of the weather and that will go right in here just like that with you with if you go straight now you want to clip the gun to firmness with a good hand shake no more and that's all there.
