ah but. here's around defense forces say about thirty rockets have been fine today israel from gaza the same day hamas claims it agreed to an exemption that brokered cease fire. and in washington donald trump signs a presidential proclamation recognizing the golan heights seized from syria in one nine hundred sixty seven as part of israel damascus has already blasted the u.s. move as an act of aggression. two years of digging and one conclusion there was no collusion between donald trump and russia during the twenty

sixteen us presidential election that's not stopping the president's rivals from digging deeper. it was a complete and total exoneration there's so much that needs to be you know taken a look at this boy and so it's not the end of everything. a warm welcome to you you're watching r.t. international with mina care and our top story this hour about thirty rockets have been fired at israel from gaza according to israeli military officials when it comes the same day hamas announced an egyptian brokered cease y. had been reached following the exchange of fire on monday israel says it has struck the offices of key hamas building i.d.f. the attack came after a rocket was allegedly fired by hamas from gaza in. during seven people israel

based journalist martin hamill gave us his reaction to the day's developments. the israeli air force started to bombard gaz in retaliation for that rocket that was fired into central israel that rocket crossed all the political and warning lines between israel and hamas so a very significant israeli response was expected that that response has begun with very strong airstrikes knocking down prominent government buildings but not really taking lives at this stage and so obviously has a and that was the reason for that siren but the bomb shelters have been opened up in tel aviv and in other major centers there is mobilization of forces to some degree there are tanks and infantry units moving towards the border and the air force is working and you know it's coming home so it's a serious that escalation the question is how far will it go well this is happening just as donald trump signed a presidential proclamation on monday recognizing israeli sovereignty over the

golan heights a disputed area on the border with syria a presidential proclamation recognizing israel's sovereign right over the golan heights. but only trying to join to my colleague me and harvey in the studio to discuss the issue. president trump's move is of course big news and it's been discussed all over the world since the actual tweet came out but i'll tell you what golan heights is disputed territory the only two countries that are actually believe this is israeli territory is the us starting this monday and israel but for everyone else this is not the case and the you and the un have already said that for them

nothing has changed us policy on golan is reflected in the relevant resolutions of the security council and that policy has not changed by international law as i've said the golan heights are syrian territory occupied by israel israel took control of the territory back in one thousand nine hundred sixty seven but de facto that was passed in that country now syria called what donald trump did a blatant act of aggression against their sovereignty and against their territorial integrity turkey russia and the arab league also condemned what donald trump did. that this was indeed a heavy step that might actually cause an earthquake in the middle east so presumably the pm netanyahu is pretty pleased what else can is a reaction be he is delighted and that is to say the least president ladies and

gentlemen this is. truly those stories. your book liberation comes at a time of the good loan is more important than ever for security when ron is trying to establish bases in syria to structured israel. of course he was there use this opportunity once again to say donald trump for recognizing jerusalem as the capital of israel and also moving is that missy there that's what mr crump did back in two thousand and seventy. as was mentioned as their condemnation of chums movies coming in from around the world and some residents of the golan heights are also less than happy. not overjoyed that a lot of be your story. we who live in the occupied golan heights we dismiss the u.s. presidents foolish recognition of the territory as israeli we want to tell him our fathers and grandfathers spilled their blood on this land and you don't have a right to do that yesterday it was jerusalem today the golan heights and tomorrow

it might be another syrian territory. these deals signed by us president donald trump violates all principles and standards of international law and here in the occupied golan heights we remember that syrian soldiers spilled their blood here and that it belongs to syria. always voting logic i could are the bacon for that center and ramsey been rude to us palestinian journalist to hear from both sides on the issue. we are already in control of the golan heights for fifty two years the golan heights is actually heaven on earth unlike the rest of syria which became where is. some kind of a good thing for the britons and everybody else joe also it was also not recognize there is there is only copy so what look george was our of the jewish people.

already for more than fleas thousand years so what do we need this mission of the world the reason that they decided to go after the golan heights now they are under the impression that syria is weak and the central government is incapable of really kind of establishing a clear and strong and decisive foreign policy it's very trying to battle the opposition and isis and other groups and this is the best time for charmed to have this gift of the golan heights in contrary of course to international law and to common sense to israel to stand on the side of israel one hundred percent and conditionally and bluntly they are trying to give netanyahu everything that he wants at this point. two years of digging twenty five million dollars spent almost three thousand foot pain ascent but just one conclusion donald trump did not conspire with russia to win the twenty sixteen u.s.

presidential election more pain has the story. well as we saw on friday the report was filed with the u.s. department of justice bob muller's pro the has concluded and he filed his report it is now in the hands of the attorney general and if the report which has not yet been released was a company with a letter in which bob muller made clear he did not call for any further indictments and it seems that trump is exonerated at nope no point was any collusion with russia discovered it seems that what trump has said from the beginning was confirmed by this letter accompanying the report let's take a listen as the report states the investigation did not establish that the members of the trim companion conspired who coordinated with the russian government in its election interference sexy beauties were serious announce it was no good with the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard there was no coming in with

a rush there was no ups truck here. and none whatsoever. and it was a complete and total exoneration now at this point however the democrats are determined to keep the story going they have been rallying around the montra of this is not over and they've been calling for the entire report from the bob muller probe the entire report that is now in the hands of the u.s. attorney general to be made public there's so much that needs to be you know taken a look at at this point and so it's not the end of everything we're going to have to wait to see the report and the report needs to be made public a.s.a.p. he has in effect created headlines that will create a trap for all of us because we have to avoid falling into the headline messages shock schumer and nancy pelosi leaders of the democratic party in the u.s.

congress say that the report actually raises more questions. then it answers at this point they are saying not only do they want the entire port report put out made available to the public but furthermore they're saying the report doesn't exonerate donald trump for what they were calling up struction of justice and 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 under their requests to release the report and the underlying evidence and to appear before the judiciary committee to answer our questions without delay so after roughly twenty five million dollars was spent three thousand subpoenas went out we now have the conclusion of the bob miller probe that there was in fact no collusion with russia and u.s. president donald trump they did not collude during the two thousand and sixteen presidential elections. as caleb said leading democrats been calling for the full

public release all of them a live report and despite president trump saying it totally exonerate him u.s. senate republicans have bloke's a democrat sponsored motion to release the documents. take since three to yes have them apart. two years they spent beating and bagging on the drums of collusion looking for traitors betrayal russian agents spies and sellouts and leading this righteous crusade inquisition is the champion savior a messiah of the left robert mueller all eyes are on special counsel robert muller the man who could save this democracy the moeller investigation as the best hope for the white house is bracing bracing for the final report speculations are building wait for them all or 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 a little 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 muller but you can't fool everyone there are journalists. loosely speaking that know better better than you. the f.b.i. and common sense i don't need them on the report to know he's a traitor i have the t.v. they are the dauntless few they believe that the traces 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 scream

everyone else is laughing at them can you really blame them. for the poor does however maintain that the kremlin conducted cyber activity to influence the two hundred sixteen elections russia's foreign ministry has issued a statement following the release of the report's key findings noting that moscow has long expressed its willingness to discuss any concerns over alleged election meddling the ministry added that the russia collusion fame has been driven soley by

internal us political feuds and investigative journalists are calling for action against the us media and intelligence community which have kept the collusion narrative alive without evidence for two years. there should be major accountability in the us media and in the intelligence community they united with to drown us political discourse for two years straight in only hinged conspiratorial trash distracting from real issues but decades of not admitting guilt the standard ploy is deny everything keep going to tell you right all along never admit that you either lied or made a mistake or based your judgment on the leaps of opinions rather than on facts we're seeing the disintegration of the media poured president trump on the defensive because the media has forced him into that class and they have forced us into a very dangerous position with russia which we never was

a threat to be in on it's not the faintest road to the united states and yet we have created this aura of you know the russians are coming the russians are coming . just weeks to go until the twentieth of april breaks a deadline that parliament is still deciding on the next steps of the brig's it divorce and piece of now loaded on to amendments with one of them being passed the amendments gives them pays control of the break that process in parliament allows a vote on various alternatives to raise the maze deal on wednesday three ministers have resigned from government in order to back the amendment and thirty tory m.p.'s were belt's to vote in favor of it but there is still no guarantee that the prime minister will abide by the outcome of the vote. i would like to congratulate the house for taking control of the government's approach has been an abject failure and this house must now find

a solution this time says she can find you we followed words when the government has a field to provide leadership of folks rick said just now this was a constitutional innovation i think he may have just rolled the underestimation the fact is in fact it is a coach that you show river the ocean and the house. where this government has failed this house the votes in the u.k.'s houses of parliament has essentially put the last may and in the coffin of any will follow the prime minister to reason he thought she had over the brags that process we've seen already two meaningful votes take place within the house of commons rejected the prime minister's deal with the use and now parliament's of the votes and by a margin of three hundred twenty nine to three hundred and two votes to take back control of the briggs it process and what we will see now in the coming days is parliament putting forward a number of voice so that it could include

a bragg's it with smoke it could include motions for braggs if the u.k. remains within a customs union and skin tin used to have access to the single market there are really endless possibilities as to what process parliament chooses from here forward but what we do know is that the clock is ticking and that an e.u. remain impatient with how disorganized the ukase approach has been and they haven't ruled out there being a no deal outcome either because the e.u. has confirmed that they've completed their preparations for a no deal bragg's it which they concede to will be difficult and disruptive for businesses and individuals on both sides of that divide so now all eyes turn to the coming days and weeks and. parliament to see whether they can see a way forward which can garner a majority in the house but also crucially which can get the approval of voters on the continent in brussels francesco was

a retired professor of european law at edgehill university things to reason may's handling of bragg's it has been a fairly. i think this is really the final or it should be the final nail in the coffin i hate to use that term of the government strategy it's failed parliament including lots of conservatives have decided that the way the government has been dealing with this in the prime minister in particular has led nowhere but the immediate challenge that has to be confronted it's twofold one will we participate in european elections because there's no way we're going to be leaving by the twenty second of may god knows how the government's going to deal with what parliament asked us to do so that their status you and then of course the second issue is what is the government or is the prime minister. a u.s. computer hacker jailed after a cyber attack on a hospital where

a teenager was mistreated as appeals to r.t. for help it comes amid fears his conditions in prison will be worse. dear r t audience i need your help because the us department of justice is imprisoning me in retaliation for my human rights work and my journalism the corrupt judge gave me ten years for saving a young girl's life now the dui g. wants to put me in a communications management unit where they can restrict my journalism and stop the truth from getting out i am hoping that you hear me and that many many people will petition their u.s. ambassador to stop the lice protect the kids and stop the. many things. being silenced in solitary confinement the activist is pleading with the world to hear his story it's a tragedy that began back in two thousand and thirteen when a fourteen year old girl just. was checked in to boston children's hospital staff

were moved just enough from her parents and claimed that they were interfering in her treatment although numerous other doctors said the girl had a genetic disease she was put in a mental ward and denied medication even more gruesome was the physical torment she endured it was so horrible that just you know was confined to a wheelchair and eventually she smuggled out a plea for help right now leave let me know right now i needed. my family and her plea didn't fall on deaf ears after hearing just tina's heart wrenching story activist marty gutfeld took action hacking into the hospital's computers gutfeld exposed the hospital's abuses and just enough returned to her family and the start of this really doesn't feel like it's real. to me but gutfeld actions came at a price in january he was sentenced to ten years in a federal prison normally reserved for terrorists he was also issued

a fine of over four hundred forty thousand dollars and on top of that the legal system assigned to a notoriously harsh judge with the. a little mercy for her activists god's folds wife told us the government got it all wrong the government and the judge have tried to frame this case as a wanton disregard for human life when that's a huge misrepresentation of what happened just seen it was deny her pain medication she was in. she was in agony twenty four seven she lost the use of her legs like that her parents were afraid she was going to die and for good reason we've seen other kids and that better five psych ward die instead of the hospital respecting the parent's wishes they started to become strange they started to become very overbearing they took custody away from the parents they had monitored calls they won't let their daughter speak about her conditions they try to get the

parents to lose complete custody and get the daughter adopted what we have here is boston children's hospital. using institutional abuse on children and they should be recognized for doing that and they should be called out so they can start you know healing a transformative process rather than trying to bury it. and i think that you know when you're doing the right thing when you're on the right side of history. you can say what you want about trying to make marty look bad but. you know just seen a can now walk today when at the time we weren't sure if she was even going to live . even from prison guards felt has continued investigating abuses in the u.s. justice department but it's feared he may soon be that would mean no more letters no more exposure no more freedom and although the prosecution claimed in court that the hacktivist put lives in danger some are pointing to more clandestine reasons

for his confinement more singles felt is being back by now the activists out on hacking related charges barrett brown was sentenced in twenty fifteen and now campaigns against what he calls the sun saying it's felt by authorities huge monitor mation that details wrong doing that is indefensible and that's what. happens or what will it mardi gras. brings attention to a powerful institutions just absolute moral failure. to look at a surgical nurse i get a sense of what is the stake here the membrane by which they. prevent the citizenry of their own country other countries from knowing how bad these institutions are members being pierced and that's and they understand that more and more and so they've tried a number of different methods to deal with that if you're american and you have not yourself. forced all the government or private citizens firms from

committing the indefensible acts against democracy that they're. really caught committing. there should be no wonder that they keep doing them we haven't given the reason not to do that when we start making examples of the we will see. lines went out across venezuela on monday leaving at least sixteen of twenty three venezuelan states without electricity however the government says electricity supplies have now been restored throughout almost the entire country it was low power in some eastern areas of venezuela as well as downtown in the capital where most government ministries are located the caracas subway was also shut down due to the lack of power meanwhile the government denounced an attack on the main hydroelectric dam in el gouri it comes just two weeks after
