quotes the reporter saying that while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime it also does not exonerate him it only general also said that the evidence gathered was not sufficient to prove president truck committed an obstruction of justice so that's the latest just come through it will bring you more details and no doubt analysis on this breaking news story a little later this hour. moving on to other news now up to a million people marched across london on saturday calling for a second break that referendum that's the number given by organizers along with the public members of parliament also attended the protest the rally comes after e.u. leaders agreed to give the u.k. short extension to the withdrawal deadline with pollard having twice rejected the prime minister's deal that stuff just so far it's got us nowhere it's got the nothing stop the international laughingstock i with them and she needs to listen to what they say i feel really passionately we really really let down our friends here in the room we need state that i believe the majority of knowledge is. the new

people who listen to this great didn't even have a plan in the other hand it's a shame that we're in this mess but. i don't think there's anyone in the labor party at the top of the labor party was really taking control of. that of the brits it fights well. on the prime minister is now being given a short extension of just two weeks if she fails to get a deal through but that will be moved to may twenty second if she does but the pm has warned that she will put off the vote until she can be guaranteed enough support in westminster and that throws briggs it into further disarray.

they would be able to answer agrees to an extension until the. twentieth of april. boot. and the yes. on to the very. i. told. you that there's still empty you learned it means to get a lot of space. it was certainly long nights of discussion the decision making and chopping and changing plans multiple times at the e.u. council summit and finally a decision that was reached officially and that was an extension of article fifty until the twenty second of may conditional of course of to resume

a passing up plan through the house of commons should that fail if the e.u. council has provided for a further extension of the twelfth of april for the u.k. to come forward and come up with a plan and a process of what exactly to do next that also the sort of course if they do intend to participate in the european parliamentary elections something which a would be rather pointless given their leaving the european union and be something that's the reason why he has said that would be almost a red line for something that she would not consider now to say that this decision was an easy one or a unanimous one at least from the very start would be misleading and there were quite different positions on the e.u. council countries such as belgium and france president mark one for one playing hardball stating that a no deal breaks it was still on the table others such as angle are called playing a more conciliatory tone calling for more understanding of the u.k.

we discussed issue with political consultant listener r.t. says that every step in the brig's it process is making the situation more complicated. when briggs it was first announced as an idea as a concept and there was no meat on the ball as to what the concept of what the process actually would mean and we start off in a place with such uncertainty is no surprise us to the situation room now so unless the identity of breaks it is made clear the destructions and stalling methods will only continue i think the sentiment right now in parliament is that. it's almost an impossibility of this deal going through and if it does go through it will go through under very pressured measures which means peace in parliament won't vote with what they believe is to be the best way for forward but will do it because the time pressures are so tight which almost holds parliament to runts and saying this is the only deal we have and you better put it through because your

certainties are too big and too widespread to even imagine. it's being claimed seven hundred kommersant irish trying to help haiti's president consolidate power by school to a presidential aide carrying eight hundred million dollars illegibly arrived in the caribbean country amid anti-government protests they were arrested a day later but then released without charge. just one of mr meggs one of the. men were mercenaries he says if he were here to attack part of the executive branch of the government.

see those reports due to privacy considerations we're unable to comment further. kim ives broke the story for the news website the intercept they were apparently going to transfer eighty million dollars out of the petrel caribbean account in haiti in the bank to another account which would be under the control of president joe from elmo we see the picture of caribbean account required authorization if you will from modi's his then prime minister. and the bank president. in dubois so this was apparently their

mission they entered haiti many of them without stamping their passport without going through immigration without going through customs they had come in with weapons which is a violation not just of u.s. law but haitian law pressure from the u.s. embassy had them or at least in a completely illegal manner i spent a week in haiti speaking to haitian police officials justice department officials people. with any connection who had any knowledge at all of this operation secure discloser source the. requested anonymity and so we have to protect our source. however one of the mercenaries a retired navy seal disputes stan version of events chris oarsmen says that they were hired security for a businessman and never actually met with the presidential aide in a now deleted instagram post he said that they were porn's in

a public fight between the haitian president and prime minister you a sense that marco rubio who has met with the haitian president said that the situation in the country demonstrated sharp political divisions protests in haiti continue over soaring inflation and claims of government corruption they blame the current president who was sworn in on a pledge to increase employment and improve living conditions. certain irritant or certain combustibility to the situation. really all right. the latest spasm of. demonstrations the prime minister in fact when he was voted out by the deputies was in front of the senate. answering for what happened with these mercenaries so i think yes the whole mercenary

story has played a role one from the questions everybody had about it. that our story has come out and basically. torn off the lives or pulled back the curtain on this story and i think that this is going to create even more and more consternation. on the part of the haitian people. ok this is bringing us the latest news on our breaking story this hour the long awaited report in united states has concluded that the campaign did not conspire with russia in the twenty sixteen election findings of miller's reports where handed by the attorney general william barr was a four page summary and to congress members just a short time ago the aging quoted the miller reporter saying while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime it also does not exonerate him miller said that no evidence was found of collusion or any coordinated efforts with russia jerking the presidential election

the attorney general also said that the evidence gathered was not sufficient to prove president jiang committed any obstruction of justice will bring you updates on this story as they come in. today marks twenty years since nato began its bombing campaign against the then yugoslavia what nato claimed was a humanitarian operation to help the country separatists local saw is a regime change campaign in which thousands were killed and nato became involved in yugoslavia march one thousand nine hundred nine to six in tensions between serbians and costs of an albanians turned violent the alliance backed the latter without any un mandate nato bombed yugoslavia for almost three months straight leaving many parts of devastated the sunday people took to the streets of belgrade the former yugoslav capital they condemned the nato bombing that ended service rule over a territory that many had gathered still view as their nation's historic heartland

america correspondent alex has more now on the anniversary of the conflict. this was serbia twenty years ago. on march twenty fourth one thousand nine hundred nine. needle campaign against the small balkan nation began i was there at the time so i'm going to take you through a bit of a personal journey at the time i was living here serbia's third largest city which seemed to be a million miles away from the battles in kosovo that very evening i was chilled out on the coach watching t.v. with my dog when suddenly the earth started shaking and the sky turned round warning. after the first explosion ran down the stairs trying to get out of the

house not knowing where the next one was going to hit. and second i stopped at the store. and looked up in the sky and there was a cruise missile flying over the house over there seconds later another explosion. that tomahawk missile hit a target in the hills above nobody saw it was one of fifty five u.s. cruise missiles used against yugoslavia that night culturally after by hundreds of fixed wing bombing operations well nato feel to destroy most military targets it was effective when it came to killing civilians this is the city of nice in southern serbia it's the location of where the most serious bombings of the nato campaign event happened may seventh one thousand nine hundred nine cluster bombs dropped fifteen people dead in the middle of the day one of those bombs killed a twenty seven year old woman who was seven months pregnant to her. did you see that it happened on the girdle it's a bridge on april twelfth one thousand nine hundred nine nato planes targeted

a civilian passenger trade not once but twice at least nine people died in the incident some say the number could be as high as sixty today the bridge where the attack occurred has been rebuilt walking around the site which has become a monument to the dead you can't help but reflect on the horror that happened here . now to claim that his actions were motivated by quotes numerous human rights violations and the alliance also says his campaign achieved its goal which was the whole tiny military activity and repression in the region we. will have know that he was working in yugoslavia with a team of us doctors and nurses in march one thousand nine hundred nine and we spoke to him about his experience on the day the bombing started. if every signal

started going off not long after sundown and the bombs started dropping within a few minutes after that we were at a very critical junction operating on the schild and i had looked up from the child chest and said listen you know. my country for whatever reason is bombing your country tonight and a number of your countrymen are going to die but this child that is on the table that is ten days old is not going to die tonight we're going to take this safely downstairs and then all of you can go home to your families. i want to tell you that. that was one of the most enriching nights. that i've experienced. in the children's intensive care unit is on the top floor there's a balcony that goes about seventy percent of the way around the building. and i went outside with my coffee and i saw

a number of fighter bombers as well. ok let's get another update on our breaking news story this hour the long awaited miller report in the u.s. has concluded that the trump campaign did not conspire with russia during the twenty sixteen presidential election the findings of the report were handed by the attorney general william bone to members of congress just a few minutes ago and the attorney general quoted the miller report saying while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime it also does not exonerate and also said that no evidence was found of collusion or any coordinated efforts with russia jerking that aforementioned election the attorney general also said the evidence gathered was not sufficient to prove president trump committed any obstruction of justice bringing updates on this story and no doubt analysis in the later parts of this.

back to today's other news thousands have gathered in the city of christ church new zealand for a vigil to commemorate fifty people killed in a shooting massacre earlier this month following attacks on two mosques the government has proposed tough new gun laws all types of assault rifles and semiautomatic weapons they will be banned the laws passed comes into force on april eleventh some immediate changes they're already in effect gun shops are now banned from selling those particular types of weapons and there will be a buyback scheme as part of an amnesty the prime minister says the cost of that that is the price that must be packed in relation to that attack on the two mosques the suspected assailant published a manifesto just a few hours before the shooting describing his motives and plants.

this is one of new zealand's darkest days. the shooter streamed the attack via facebook the video then quickly spread something facebook was criticized for especially given just how quickly it can crack down on certain types of political content new zealand prime minister demanded answers from social media platforms over the streaming and sharing of the attack i would call on our social media platforms of all variety to demonstrate the kind of responsibility that both lead to these have been and that includes stars who perpetuate their messages in the aftermath there is a lot of work that needs to be down. facebook responded saying the video didn't trigger its warning systems it has introduced steps to improve the way that it

combat aids speech we put the issue up for debate. i respectfully submit that when you show violence against human being it's a form of pornography we have to as a society say no facebook you can do much better for kids for people who would see this not necessarily because it would inspire the next shooting which you very well good because these losers need some form of acclimation out of just human decency or hearing from officials government officials from the prime minister in new zealand talking about preventing future attacks like this and then going on to censoring when this attack happens how in the world does that prevent this attack one of the main problems on the scene here is that we continue to put band-aids on gunshot wounds and we need to stop that we need to stop putting band-aids on we need to stop saying let's just stop everybody from there that he doesn't you know we can get rid of x. rated movies should it come down immediately yes should this be kept from the public yes take it down i want facebook and others abroad to have exactly when you

have whatever attitude allowing your world or not they have we're talking to you now and you're going to be lucky if you you know they're talking about arguing people will hardly blinded from these sightings will fellow lying dead but you're not talking about how will this prevent it nobody's talked about prevent you the question is should be banned i'm saying yes to what i want facebook to do is if i put certain stories about certain political issues i am shadow bad show fast and i want them to use that technology in their genius to figure out wait a minute we're having somebody right now people are being killed this is going to come down from our platform what my concern is when we continue to ban these kinds of things can ban this kind of stuff that's only going to perpetuate shadow band but we're given subject and hour and authority to social media platforms to content that that is allowed so when to hurt us later now listen dr berg do me a favor if you see somebody shooting and killing people shut it down we'll talk

about it later. i don't have a debate do you think that maybe we're giving one person die die die die die die at the rate to automatically and who is to say whether this could one day be that i don't people being shot to death whether this might include war coverage or rep or tired yes this is horrible that i never want to see this i never want my children to see this i don't want any person to be subjected this kind of violence in this horrible obscene material these publications but this is what i have seen governments cannot stop this these companies cannot stop this people who post something positive about donald trump are being taken off of social media because of social media heads and managers and so we want them to ban other things instead of us and that is my main thing is that they can't they will not. let's just remind you of our breaking news story this hour the long awaited report has concluded the term camp a did not conspire with russia during the twenty

sixteen presidential election findings of the report one hundred to congress members just a short time ago turney general william barr quoted the reporter saying while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime it also does not exonerate him wallace said no evidence was found of collusion or any coordinated efforts with russia during the election it's only general also said the evidence gathered was not sufficient to prove president truong committed any obstructions of justice on the story will be coming your way. german politicians have called for the expulsion of the us ambassador richard grinnell this came after he openly criticized burleson's plan to reduce defense spending. nato members clearly pledged to move towards not away from two percent by twenty twenty four that the german government would even be considering reducing its already on except will commitments to military readiness is

a worrisome signal to germany's twenty eight nato allies mr grinnell is a total failure of a diplomat all of this behavior is rather borish with his repeated clumsy provocations mr goodnow is harming transatlantic relations since mr grinnell took up his post as ambassador in berlin he has and several occasions quite conspicuously interfered in the internal affairs of the federal republic of germany his behavior in the host country is anything but diplomatic and rather reminiscent of the governor of an empire this comes despite german military spending increasing last year by five billion dollars for the first time goodell hit out at the country's policies slamming everything from relations with iran to the use of equipment from chinese tech giant while away on the terms also been a vocal critic of berlin spending accusing it of free loading of the us military.

german companies doing business in iran should wind down operations immediately. never tell a host country what to do. where not of banana republic. there is. a mix of one side trade. for us the financing jatra things but any stuff it's a question its alliance with washington mr grinnell does have president trump personal support now there was talk that mr green l. might be moved to the united nations when nikki haley left but that didn't happen

so i think it would be very embarrassing for the administration to withdraw him the problem is is that we have now have an american ambassador who is so on polish about it especially with demands about spending more money on nato and you can't have five g. from walk away and you must not be buying russian gas and complete the north stream to pipeline that it's starting to get on their nerves and maybe beginning to dawn on some people in germany that maybe this american relationship is not all it's cracked up to be now some people want to say this whole question of style but i think it's becoming clear that it's really more a question of substance. let's remind you of our breaking news story this hour that long awaited robert mueller reported in the u.s. it's in we know the key findings and it's concluded that the trump campaign did not conspire with russia during the two thousand and sixteen presidential election the findings of the report were handed over to congress members just

a few moments ago the attorney general quoted the reporter saying that while this report does not conclude the president committed a crime it also does not exonerate him from the said that no evidence was found of collusion or any coordinated efforts with russia during the election the attorney general also said the evidence gathered was not sufficient to prove president trump committee and the obstruction of justice. act within his patient about this report been building for months artes and i guess the takes a look at whether it's all been worth it. two years they spent beating and banging on the drums of collusion looking for traitors betrayal russian agents spies and sell outs and leading this righteous crusade inquisition was the champion savior a messiah of the left robert mueller all eyes are in special counsel robert muller

the man who could save this democracy the moeller investigation as the best hope the white house is bracing bracing for the final report speculations are building weight for the mahler report wait for the marble i think robert mueller is going to get to the bottom of it was so much hope so much optimism that the traitors would be rooted out all for nothing ended by a letter in a plain envelope no more indictments not one american charged with colluding with russia how that hurt if you could only feel the pundits pain now come the tias robert muller is still at this point publicly silent as he has been from the very beginning honestly flip through the different news channels see for yourself the full spectrum of emotions where some cry others rage you think he missed the boat here how can they lead trump off the hook how can

that happen then of course there's the nile how can this be called a single traitor unthinkable it must be a conspiracy it feels like the seeds of a coverup are here amongst the tea is the rage and the denial is also acceptance sad acceptance the good old days of burning witches are over by investigating the president and reaching conclusions he did a solid favor he's been the sunshine so thank you robert. but you can't fool everyone there are journalists loosely speaking that know better better than you me the f.b.i. and common sense they are the dauntless few they believe that the traitors are out there they will be found that the hunt goes on this is the start of

something apparently not the end of something this is the end of the beginning a short moeller report would mark the end of the beginning not the beginning of the end this saga after the president is legal saga doesn't appear to be anywhere close to being over as the president hopes and while the pundits weep and cry region scream everyone else is laughing at them can you really blame them. just to remind you the key findings of the four page analysis of the miller report no collusion no obstruction of justice against the trump team will bring you more on that breaking news story and more analysis coming your way at the top of the hour. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest.
