the report into alleged to trump rush occlusion is finally released with the many passages are redacted it concludes that there was interference from russia but no collusion. and they're having a good day i'm having a good day to school. no collusion no obstruction. as trump and his legal team celebrate good democrats demand robert mueller testified to the counter intelligence investigation. and another news of greek lawmakers pass a bill demanding world war two reparations from germany. on a broadcast live direct from our studios most of this is our international incheon

thomas glad to have you with us right after a two year investigation the heavily redacted the mullah report on trump rush occlusion is finally in the public domain and comments now from new york well it's over four hundred pages of the bob muller report this is the report from special counsel robert lawler and it goes over allegations that russia somehow interfered in the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential elections and it investigates whether or not trump had a role in colluding or being part or being in contact with these alleged russian activities prior to the releasing of the report william barr the u.s. attorney general came forward and reiterated that the reported show that there was no collusion between trump and rush what trump has said from the beginning seems to have been the conclusion of the report that's the bottom line after nearly two years of investigation thousands of subpoenas hundreds of warrants and witness

interviews the special counsel confirmed. that the russian government sponsored efforts to illegally interfere with the two thousand and sixteen presidential election but did not find that the trump campaign or other americans colluded in those efforts when he was giving his press conference basically announcing that the report was pending we saw a us president donald trump speaking up on social media tweeting out graphics and such and now we've heard from u.s. president trump saying that this is a pretty good day for him and they're having a good day i'm having too good to take you to school to. no collusion no obstruction now democratic leaders are taking a look at the report and seeing something quite different they are saying that the report shows that some obstruction may have taken place and they now want to hold the president accountable there are calls now for testimony from robert muller two congressional committees about the report itself this is been the reaction of

democratic leaders in congress the report concluded there was substantial evidence in quotes that president come up attempted to prevent an investigation into his campaign and his own kind of page seventy six page seventy eight page ninety page one fifty seven volume two. that is why i have formally requested that special counsel moeller testify before the house judiciary committee as soon as possible so we can get some answers to these critical questions the first day william barr came out saying it didn't appear miller hadn't found any evidence of collusion they said their next move by wanting chums financial statements and all of his tax returns and getting his taxes making sure all of his finance statements tax returns everything else could be in their hands so they can continue to try to find something else wrong with trump i mean and that's it you know we saw within twenty four hours if i had there was no collusion weeks before this entire reporting came out that their next move was already in play with demanding the tax returns not only that we also saw we had the arguments and well last night we had chuck schumer

saying that. how dare william barr you know come out and speak before we get there of poor will kind of report with this after that we're going to start hearing about how the redactions are at a way a way to hide the real truth and it's really never going to end despite you know national security concerns and being legally allowed to do redactions that implicate national security issues for the u.s. we're going to continue to see one thing after another with trump but they went immediately from russia collusion to trying to access trying financial statements and william bars obstruction so i mean the arguments haven't stopped yet they're not going to stop but we do have what seems to be a very conclusive case of absolutely no collusion earlier r. g.'s more guns you have joined my colleague tutor here in the studio to comment on the release of the model report the report itself i mean we had about four hundred pages let me just show you what those four hundred pages many of them look like this is so much more than odd this is how much was redacted from the report and you

can goof with pages and pages with nothing legible. there's so much redacted in this report the it is almost the very difficult to get a picture of what they was saying that certain points for example they seem convinced that there was russian meddling yet they see no collusion. the russian government interfered in the twenty sixteen presidential election in sweeping and systematic fashion evidence of russian government operations began to surface in mi twenty sixteen in june the democratic national committee on its cyber response team publicly announced that russian hackers had compromised its computer network releases of hot materials hacks not public reporting soon our tribute to the russian government began that same month additional releases followed in july through the organization wiki leaks with further releases in october and november the investigation did not establish that members of the true campaign conspired all

coordinated with the russian government in its election interference activities now the report makes many accusations many allegations about russian hacking it describes our russian military intelligence units and troll companies troll firms factories meddled in the election the problem is i went through the report the first sections detailing russian hacking there's almost no proof no evidence this is incredibly light on details and technical aspects pacific's it's just very very general the russians did this russian the russians did this take us at our word there's also contradictory information at certain points they say that two aliases that the russians used apparently d.c. leaks at another what the russian military intelligence officers communicated with each other apparently meaning bullish over twitter which is very strategic think of

this was the russian military intelligence director at the stand up and shout to each other no not in this case they allege that the russians hacked all sorts of things nevertheless they also admit that they never actually got their hands physically on the d n c servers that hacked on. and where clinton's emails were leaked from which is very strange they say they got copies later on the f.b.i. is all sorts of little snippets contradictory information that you know is worth picking out but it is impossible because so much is redacted it's page after page that is barely legible and the russian the russians have said largely the same thing the kremlin has said statement they're looking at the remulla report but they say there's no evidence is no proof there's no sort of information that they can address talk about it's all allegations in suspicion at certain points they say the

russian hackers appear to have done something so even they are convinced the russians are saying what they've always said that there was no state sponsored meddling and their hands are clean of this and i had to repeat what i've said several times including in a personal contacts russian state never has been you can interfere in internal american affairs nevertheless a number of russian companies have been targeted as legal action against them number of individuals as well a dozen military intelligence officers have been indicted. russia boom to give them up. if any way you look at it but. there's an interesting thing as well one specific company that there's legal action ongoing against. isn't being told what the proof the evidence against them is because apparently that sensitive

information is remarkable situation it's like accusing someone of a crime and then refusing to tell them what they did wrong. and it's especially strange because they're apparently concerned that the russians will find out what the russians did. very strange but again it might be in the redacted sections that we haven't seen that the public isn't being shown nevertheless there's a lot to get through and i'm sure they'll be more talked about i mean you know you talked about the confusion so despite the confusion the unanswered questions the redactions it is still a very comprehensive report isn't it was huge twenty five million dollars they spent putting this report together. fifty or f.b.i. agents working for two years they looked at more than a million documents financial receipts e-mails invited you know stage two thousand

five hundred interviews two thousand and eight hundred subpoenas thirty four indictments it was tremendously huge but they looked at three things one russian meddling which again they were incredibly light on the details they also looked at whether from colluded trump or any of his associates colluded with russia and that they were pretty categorical that there was no collusion something trump was boasted about and the last thing they looked at is whether trump tried to obstruct justice by firing the former director of the f.b.i. when the investigation. in its infancy but here we've got a little bit of confusion because the report says that they haven't decided either way there's not enough evidence it's all very difficult. trouble stake in this. as a victory says that there was no obstruction no collusion the house u.s. house democrat majority the house judiciary committee is now saying that this

report condemns trump it says that there was obstruction a promise to look into it nevertheless the report's been the release but i'm sure that there is plenty more drama plenty more details to come. greece is stepping up its demands for war reparations from germany has long been seeking compensation for the nazi air occupation but berlin says the debt has it been settled or your correspondent peter oliver has more. europe could be set for the reopening of some painful historical wounds the greek parliament has asked germany for billions of euro for the nazi occupation of the country during world war two the demand for german war reparations is a historical and moral debt for us it will help us build a better future in our relations with germany today therefore we have a duty to give our two peoples the opportunity to close this chapter athens as next

step is to send what's known as a verbal note to berlin that will be seen as the starting point for negotiations to kick off from now back in twenty sixteen agreed parliamentary committee put the figure that should pay is reparations it well at least two hundred and ninety billion euro that's as compensation for the deaths of tens of thousands of greeks at the hands of the nazis as well as the extortion of the bank of greece by hitler to finance his war machine however some greeks aren't confident that this appeal will lead to anything the germans are of the opinion that it has compensated the issue with the payment of one hundred sixty million dollars marks to the victims and the admission of about four hundred twenty thousand guest workers as far as the german government a constant that payment back in one nine hundred sixty of roughly around two hundred fifty million euro in today's money settled the matter once and for all. we

are aware of the great guild the attitude of the federal government is unchanged the question of german reparations is settled legally and politically in the treaty which we unify germany in one nine hundred ninety it's no further reparations were planned but what do the people of lynn and athens think should happen next. we have a very very big. responsibility to two world war two but how long generations of generations having to pay for things that they didn't do as a country we have a responsibility to react now they should have come a little bit earlier now would still ate their broke and trying to see where they can get money. for of course we should claim something not only because many years have passed because of german intolerance to step do you

think we have governments that can claim any same but i think there is no political will to be any government to claim germany russia. germany looks after its own interests what are we looking after one of the darkest periods in european history still echoes today and ideas about what to do when it comes to reparations for wartime atrocities still fairly explained peter all of a r.t. . a group of anti fracking protesters in australia have come up with an unusual way of getting their message across. a. government into listen wrecking a country and putting out water. this

is. killing. critics say fracking has a huge impact on the environment including possible earthquakes because of the high pressure used to extract the oil and gas from a rock below and also in creases the risk of oil spills and pollution something that can lead to various health problems australia's northern territory announced a moratorium on fracking back in september two thousand and sixteen but that ban was lifted last year with the government investing more than eight million australian dollars which is about six million u.s. dollars to accelerate the development of the industry they say it will create thousands of jobs and help the economy however environmentalist graeme sawyer has doubts about those claims. is a whole range of respect is and that's one of the problems the business additional

really concerned about is that it's the war that could be directly impacted in the short time by this is fracking not only threatened they largely hold in their ability to drink water it also threatens their cultural knowledge and information on their cultural practices but the northern territory government is in pretty bad style that they want you to call me. thinking that might be able to use the system wide to increase activity but the evidence would suggest other was the jobs question is really an interesting one because research out of coins land shows for every ten jobs they created us recognize free i lost twenty four jobs that i just received the area is some really big questions that need to be answered around us as well as the environmental concerns. foreigners coming away after a short break through which meant international.

q. q. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted over checked. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to go right to be close that's what the full screen the more people get. interested holes in the waters of our. first six.

of them back this is our team international following all the drama in this week's champions league football former manchester united boss jose marino has been given his breakdown of all the action you can watch the latest episode on the touchline now on our website or here on our to international in just a few hours time here's a quick preview. i've never seen a game like it if you there. i did. choose offsides no

referee in the lines of men in the history of football disallowed that ball in these circumstances only the via is the control over seen icing they got it right i think in the world cup final they got it wrong the view should be to take some pressure from the referee in the us to the keys they put in his hands a big decision i look also to the coaching perspective always it possible a champions league level so many mistakes together in the short in a short period of time so many mistakes come on they cannot feel pressure and that's the level we are speaking about the best players in the world the best clubs in in the world a player that they absolute the love i think is phenomenal eriksson makes a mistake that he would never forget them is live for play against. in the way they

want to play you have the risk that they are better than you i think until this moment nobody really i don't like the word fears but nobody really respect them all the teams in the semifinals they have the creativity here they have the score there but they have a top top class center the fender and the skid the league. very very good here here here here here here here north here filomena or saddam either they scored in this corner in the score it's also possible that you were going to say this this is not my football this is my football and this is the way i want my teams to play this season. in the semifinals we'd in my opinion fifty percent chances of being in the final i would say so we got the message i'll say liverpool favorite i'd never say messi is the special one here because everything he does does all the

time when messi has the ball one one one. you are that i am here working with you but i am still a man as a. i have to defend them. without display as you wouldn't be them but the. real opinion is unhappy with facebook's latest efforts to prevent foreign interference in its upcoming primary election brussels has written to the social media giant expressing concern that new advertising rules could effect across a border campaigning facebook's policy would prevent european political actors from using facebook facebook messenger and instagram for the e.u. wide paid communication campaigns this policy would put each political actors at the same level as foreign entities attempting to interfere in the e.u.

elections facebook's new rules that mean more rigorous checks are applied to advertisers and also imposes geographical limits and registration in the country where the ads are to be purchased which goes against the idea of pan e.u. political campaigning facebook is justifying its actions saying it's a new policy safeguards against foreign interference. we wait the different risks and concluded that the right solution to help best guard against foreign interference is to only allow people to run advertisement in the country if they have passed an authorization process could mean they are a result in that same country the chairman of the u.k. based group think tank it says that facebook has lost sight of its original goals this started because there were allegations that foreign parties were influencing.

elections in other parts of the world now i think almost all of those allegations of been disproved what facebook have done is they've they've looked at the fact that there's been huge uproar. the amount of data they've been collecting on their own users and rather than restricting themselves which is what they should have been doing they restricted the users which seems an entirely wrong headed approach for small organizations and for individuals that just want to comment on the political discourse it's going to get harder and harder and harder so big players will will be able to comply with the new regulations but smaller players won't and i think that's ultimately injurious to the platform injurious to debates and injurious to democracy that's not how it should be and facebook ultimately began. as a peer to peer a grassroots network essentially and i think if it strays away from that and it just becomes another big corporation then something else will take its place

whether there's a for me more news in about thirty six minutes stay with us this is our two international. what house did last week sort of increase the level of chaos across libya even if you win strictly that chaos will continue because there will be pockets of very very intensive resistance to him across the country and i am afraid like everybody else that this chaos longs for a while is going to attract more extremists from around africa and the region. you know we saw from time to time about the casino. about the trend in technology and government to enslave the global population behind devices and to be

consigned to life of clicking on ads course scooby snacks and the second you stop looking at those ads you die and you get to the platform get off the grid and. just pay so sensitive to carry your ashes. best's drug where her cocaine is where four bucks with the under fifty to everybody used. cocaine you can smoke it this is worth fifteen thirty. twenty. two this is about a fifteen people smoke this one figures. you can find these drugs in any city in the united states was. long as you want to get it about to. make money. and that's one of the.

welcome to the alex salmond show and the start of a two part series on the issue of violence in the communities of london over recent months knife crime has emerged as a national crisis as has been described in the house of commons although serious violence afflicting many communities is not new it has reached a tipping point over the last year as focussed surged to the highest levels for more than a decade on

a daily basis our television screens and newspapers have been full of details of the latest mindless killings and today show we deported the home secretary speech of this week and ask does it continue pushing necessary to finally get to grips with knife crime this is how he previously explained the new approach in the house of commons public health approach which is something i announced towards the end of last year and that again was through listing to experience from both other parts of the u.k. from other countries as well also seen a similar rise in serious violence and i think we should learn from wherever we can and i think it is important to have such an approach which requires all government departments all agencies of government to treat serious violence as a as the way we would treat for example a disease to prioritize it and to make it a statutory duty we also asked london m.e.p. claude moraes to provide a response from labor this pioneering approach that the home secretary was talking

about you know it was pioneered in scotland quite a while ago and if i have one small criticism is that the government of coming to this a little bit late but at least they've done it because this is a such a serious issue. however prominent antiviolence campaigner dr mark prince questions whether any politician has thus far short of the right approach of the home secretary of the of the mayor of london of they've been beating up past your door and saying you know we'll start twelve years experience what do you have to tell us about getting a message across to the young people and brides community part question but to was simply no but first your tweets messages and e-mails in response to i sure last week from belfast alex interviewed him and molly lynn says what an amazing interview his statement about the d.d.p. putting their sense of the union and head of the economic welfare of the people of

northern ireland was a thorn fascinating interview cragin enjoyed it len terry says another fantastic sure whatever your viewpoint on independence breaks it or even alex salmond this program is insightful well worth a watch thank you terry louise says interesting mr malley probably spot on about who would restart violence republican see a future and a tolerable present with an island young loyalists well i could see why they'd be split between getting as far away as possible and feeling marginalized maybe white says i'm not knowledgeable or northern ireland by any means but as i wish for the repeal of the acts of union for scotland i also wish for peace and unification for the people of northern ireland and islands and finally martha dyer says i don't think it's because of bricks at scotland's going for independence independence is overdue a long time ago they kill us in westminster has only helped to bring it to the hate . now the homes actually speech in east london this week was a farce on crime he used it to give

a deeply personal explanation of why he was changing the approach or knife crime. it's not so difficult to see how i could have turned out to have a life of crime myself. these graphs sure the extent of the problems with which the home secretary is grappling. the official statistics show three things one that the incidence of knife crime is not just a london problem however across england it is heavily concentrated in the urban areas too in london although they're not attacks everywhere it's just the capital's deprived areas which bear the brunt of the problem. and three figures over the last decade sure knife crime at first falling and then rising rapidly to reach new highs in the last two years against a spat drained the homosexuals a new policy can be with it the hope of an all party.
