trying welcomes the findings of the long awaited mother report which concludes that he did not conspire with russia to win the twenty sixteen u.s. election there was no garage there was no structure and none whatsoever. around one million people march in london the gates breaks it piling the pressure on the prime minister whose withdrawal plan is already in time to. come sunday marks twenty years since nato starts the so-called humanitarian campaign and then yugoslavia many local see the military offensive in which thousands were killed as a regime change operation. very

warm welcome you watching the weekly here on r.t. international all the latest headlines and a roundup of the stories that shaped the week the first president trumps team did not conspire with russia to win the twenty sixteen u.s. election as a key finding of special counsel robert miller's two year investigation the president has called it a complete external ration. could you tell us more about these findings yeah absolutely well the mainstream media for one has been harping on this investigation for months they've been saying just let's just wait for the results from the miller investigation now a few hours ago it came out and the government is twenty five million dollars almost three thousand subpoenas and over five hundred search warrants deep with little to show for it if anything now the main thrust of this investigation was to was basically to find evidence that donald trump was colluding with the russian government to win the two thousand and sixteen presidential election but the

attorney general in this summary that he released says that there was insufficient evidence at best. as the report states the investigation did not establish that the members of the trim campaign conspired or coordinated with the russian government in its election interference. now the summary did still do finger pointing at russia it accuses the russians of successfully disseminating information to influence the outcome of the election it claims that russian generals hacked to the e-mails of hillary clinton and other prominent democrats to leak information to wiki leaks now of course we haven't seen any concrete of information to affirm any of this but the attorney general does go as far to say that trump committed no crime. we noted that the special counsel recognized that the evidence does not establish that the president was involved in an underlying crime related to russian election interference and that will not determinative the

absence of such evidence bears upon the president's intent with respect to obstruction so what about the obstruction of justice issue well mahler throughout this entire investigation has been trying to get donald trump on sort of trying to thwart the special councils to investigate him now though in the summary the attorney general's determined that he had the final say on the matter and he said that there wasn't enough evidence at all to conclude that trump committed a crime specifically and that's because the special counsel itself said that they couldn't defend it definitively conclude that trump had had committed a crime but they also said that they didn't absolve him of one either and now regardless trump seems to think that he's in the clear with it it was just announced it was no good with the right the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard there was no collusion with the rush there was no up structure. and no whatsoever.

it was a complete and total exoneration. it's a shame that our country had to go through this. now donald trump's son donald trump jr even lashed out on twitter at an elected bureaucrats who he said were to blame for the controversy so i was they were supposed to inform the democrats well now they're claiming that the attorney general is biased in some way against the special counsel and now they're calling for a full publication of mahler's report. attorney general doris letter raises as many questions as answers but the fact the special counsel miller support does not exonerate the president on a charge as serious as obstruction of justice demonstrates how urgent it is that the full report and underlying documentation be made public without any further delay we will demand the release of the full report the president has not been

exonerated by the special counsel yet the attorney general has decided not to go further or apparently to share those findings with the public we now call on the attorney general to honor that request to release the report and the underlying evidence and to appear before the judiciary committee to answer our questions without delay. now on the other hand mike pence praised the summaries conclusions and said the democrats should join the republicans in moving forward after the conclusions of this investigation so were two years after the beginning of it mounds of resources were spent in investigating democrats claims that trump may have colluded with the russians and the department of justice basically setting building for months on his lord gals to find out whether it was all worth it. two years they spent beating and bagging on the drums of collusion looking for traitors betrayal russian agents spies and sell outs and leading

this righteous crusade inquisition 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 in the moeller investigation as the best hope the white house is bracing bracing for the final report speculations are building wait for the model 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 on 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 in 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 i don't need them all report to know he's a traitor i have the t.v. they are the dauntless few the 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 for the president as legal saga doesn't appear to be anywhere close to being over as the president hopes and while the pundits weep and cry. scream everyone else is laughing at them can you really blame them. discuss this further now with our guest a journalist human and labor rights dunk a valid author of the book at the plot to scapegoat russia welcome to the program is great to have you with us. me thank you now trump is calling this

a total exoneration democrats see it differently of course nancy pelosi and chuck schumer say they were poor summary raises many questions as it also was your view. i think it certainly is toller exoneration are the claims that the trunk campaign collude with russia moller had twenty two months to investigate their unlimited resources he used those resources the taxpayers' money and he concluded there was no evidence of collusion between the trump campaign and russia so i think the nannies examiner as other planets are pointed out maybe there's issues with obstruction they always say you know the coverup is worse than the crime but you know in the end. marlowe was tasked to investigate whether the trump campaign colluded to win the two thousand and sixteen election and mahler in florida do not so i think there is an exaggeration here as you think that by refusing to drop this

issue and just move on the democrats could actually be harming their own chances of winning the next next election. i mean i think what i think the american people who have not cared about the russian gay issue there are the polls show that this is been an issue that the media has care about that the democrats have cared about that the intelligence agencies are care about the democrats need to focus on bread and butter issues health care education homelessness infrastructure but they've decided to hire him again to focus on a secondary issues or question gave him if they continue to do so they do so with their air of truth the whole truth as are trying to do here has released a statement on the record saying collusion traitors must be held to account for their sick and twisted conspiracy theories so we expect some sort of retaliation

from the trump administration do you think. i don't think so i don't think anyone will be punished for this. in the end i guess they shouldn't be punished except politically opening really people should be embarrassed that millions of dollars have been spent which i think can fairly be called a witch hunt and a witch hunt that had a purpose the purpose was not only to damage the com presidency which frankly i don't care so much about because i'm not a big translator and but more dangerously it was a witch hunt which has increased the tensions between the u.s. and russia to a dangerous few group there is what are many people being concerned about the hope that now we can move beyond this and find a repro shot with rush so what does this leave the obstruction of justice issue with the term saying the report clears him of that charge by the report summary does not specifically say that so is he right i don't think he's right i mean look

i think in the end the democrats are going to continue to push that they think this is their show but i think their want a bell but i think people like overseeing schumer believe it's the result of all it so i think they were pure you know persistence. and what all thoughts on the media's role in all this because so much time has been spent on this story and there's been so many allegations which of turned out to be untrue now so do you think the media themselves have questions to answer. i think the media is that disgracefully. they have been invested in this issue in a way that should be invested you know wish their job is to report dispassionately on the news and facts they have in this one they mostly have been invested in one thousand to buy that there was collusion i listen to the national public radio tonight they spend an hour trying to basically apology. and explain

and cover their behind for the fact that they've been trying to push it disappear. for so many months it was but there there are other things happening in this world that are important this is not one of them and we need to move beyond this and the media has been discredited. on that no journalist and human rights human labor rights lawyer down cavalli thank you for your time voting. after a million people march across london on saturday calling for a second brags that referendum along with the public members of parliament also attended the protest the rally comes after the e.u. leaders agreed to give the u.k. a short extension to the withdrawal deadline with parliament having twice rejected the prime minister's deal. but stuff just so fast got us nowhere stop the nothing stop an international laughingstock i was actually soliciting what makes you say i

feel really passionate that we've been really really lucky our friends are in the room we need state that i believe the majority nowadays. of the new people put a stop to this practice didn't even have a plan and never had a plan 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 who's really taken control of. most of the press it fights about. well the prime minister has now been given a short extension of two weeks if she fails to get her deal through but that will be moved to may the twenty second if she does however the prime minister has warned she will put the off the vote and so she can be guaranteed enough support in westminster and the us throne breaks it into further disarray.

they would be able to answer at least an extension until the. twentieth of april. and the yes. on to the very. i. told. you that there's still empty you know. it means to me that. 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 as 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 they were quite different positions on the e.u. council countries such as belgium and france president my calling for one playing hardball stating that a no deal bricks it was there on the table others such as engler merkel playing

a more conciliatory tone calling for more understanding of the u.k. we discussed the issue with political consultant klinsmann morality he says every step in the braggs their 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 bone 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 briggs it is made clear to be disruptions 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 who 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 run 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. sunday marks twenty years since nato started its bombing campaign against the former yugoslavia when nato claimed it was a humanitarian operation to help the country's separatists locals saw as a regime change change campaign in which thousands were killed now to became involved in yugoslavia in march nine hundred ninety nine after sectarian tensions between serbians and possibly now manias turned violent the alliance backed the latter out of the un mandates nato bombed yugoslavia for almost three months straight leaving many parts of said here that to say. well this sunday people took to the streets of belgrade the former yugoslavia and capital they condemned the nato bombing that ended serbia's rule over

a territory that many who gathered still view is that nation's historic heartland r.t. america correspondent alex mckay mikhail of it has more on the anniversary of the conflict. this was serbia twenty years ago. on march twenty fourth one thousand nine hundred nine ruthless nato 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 northeast side which seemed to be a million miles away from the battles in kosovo that very evening and i was chilling out on the couch watching t.v. with my dog when suddenly the earth started shaking and the sky turned bright red warning the air strikes and i've been going through the first explosion

a ran down the stairs trying to get out of the house not knowing where the next phone was going to hit. the second i stopped at the store. 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 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 one the most serious bombings of the nato campaign event happened in may seventh nine hundred ninety 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 earth.

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 horrors that happened here . and i came to sanctions were motivated by quote numerous human rights violations in kosovo the alliance also says it says strike campaign achieved its goal which was to halt any military activity and repression in the region we spoke to dr william novick who was working in yugoslavia with a team of u.s. doctors another with a team of u.s. doctors and nurses in march one thousand nine hundred nine about his experience on

the day the bombing started. every single story going on if not all along after sundown and the bombs started dropping within a few minutes after that we were at a very critical juncture in operating on the schild and i looked up from the child's chest and said listen you know. my country for whatever reason is bombing your country tonight 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 child safely downstairs and then all of you can go home to your families. i want to jay that. that was one of the most horrific 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. as being claimed seven american muscle areas trying to help haiti's president consolidate power by a scorching a presidential aide carrying eighteen million dollars they allegedly arrived in the caribbean country amid antigovernment protests they were arrested a day late separate then released without charge. just wanted mr madoff to give you enough these men or most scenarios he says if he were here to attack part of the executive branch of the government it's.

probably. seen those reports that due to privacy considerations we're unable to comment further came of us broke the story for the news websites the intercepts. they were apparently going to transfer eighty million dollars out of the petro caribbean account in haiti in the bank to another account which would be under the control of president job. the petro caribbean account required authorization if you will from. his then prime minister nuri say ah and the bank president john by day in dubois so this was

apparently their mission they entered haiti many of them without stamping their passport without going through immigration without going to 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 released 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 disclose our source the. requested anonymity and so we have to protect our shores. however one of the mercenaries a retired navy seal disputes that version of events krystle's men says they were hired to security for a businessman and never actually met the presidential aide and then now deleted

instagram post he says they were poles in a public fight between the haitian president and prime minister u.s. senator marco rubio who has met with the haitian president said the situation in the country demonstrated shop political divisions protests in haiti continue over soaring inflation and inflation in 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 a certain combustibility to the situation. the way we were the last of 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 basically. corner of the liver pulled back the curtain on this story i think that this is going to create even more outrage and more consternation. on the part of the haitian people. have eyes now of our top story president trump has welcomed the findings of a long awaited report on the alleged collusion during the twenty sixteen election the two year probe by skill as special counsel robert miller found that the trump team did not conspire with russia and the attorney general has not has said there is not enough evidence of obstruction of justice to launch a prosecution or trump has called it a complete exoneration. those are the headlines for you this hour we're back in

just over thirty minutes with all the latest to see that. 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 go from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and the fresh perspective i'm used to surprising. if you think. i'm going to talk about football not the or else you can think i was going to go. by the way what is it that slide here.

i think contests are b.s. did not. last. also because there is a still more opportunity to. say. the same the position of serbia in the context. of the international law on our own are more more on the serbian side i think not don't notice it before but also just find the we've got a nice i'm going to move and then the ability of all four corners. you know world of big partisan group lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell. more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath and

shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. and. norm chomsky emanate on a family at mit and i am. getting more headlines as a war activities for the last few years. noam chomsky has made to international reputation as does one of the national leaders of american resistance to the vietnam war.
