and for a while it is going to attract more extremists from around africa that lead to. the mall report into alleged pressure collusion is finally released with many passages a redacted into it concludes that there was interference from russia but no collusion . and they're having a good day i'm having to take you to school. no collusion no what structure. as trump and his legal team celebrate the democrats demand robert muller testifying to the counter intelligence investigation. and in other news greek lawmakers passed a bill demanding world war two reparations from germany. broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our new international

and john thomas glad to have you with us. to your investigation in the heavily redacted muller report on trumpet russia collusion is finally in the public domain artie's came up and reports 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 russia 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 a basically announcing that the report was pending we saw us president donald trump speaking up on social media tweeting out graphics and such and now we've heard from u.s. president saying that this is a pretty good day for him and they're having a good day i'm having a good day to who's called. 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 and this is been the reaction of democratic leaders in congress the report concluded there was substantial evidence in quotes that president cup attempted to prevent an investigation into his campaign and his own conduct page seventy six page seventy eight page ninety page one fifty seven volume two that is why i have formally requested that special counsel muller testified 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 of their next move by wanting trump's 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 of find out 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 have seen the arguments and all last night we had chuck schumer saying that well how dare william barr you know come out and speak before we get there is poor what kind of report with this be after that we're going to start hearing about how the redactions are the 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 try on taxes 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 really or are. joined my colleague tutor here in the studio to discuss the release of the 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 this is how much was

redacted from the. pages with nothing legible really. much redacted in this report the it is almost the very difficult to get a picture of what the 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 attribute it 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 on 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 delish 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 were hacked on. and where clinton's e-mails 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 are 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 done something so even they aren't 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 when you go into. 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 it's 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. 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 a-z. 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 promised to look into it never the less the reports 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 and france has long been seeking compensation for the nazi era occupation but berlin says the debt has been settled our europe 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 on the admission of about four hundred twenty thousand guest workers as far as the german government are 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 guilt 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 for the reparations were planned but what do the people of the land and athens think should happen next. we have a very very big. responsibility to. to world war two but how long generations of generations having to pay for things that they didn't do as a country we have the 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. from of course we should clean something that's not

only because many years ago that this was because of german intolerance to. step do you think we have governments that can claim any same i think there is no political will for any government to claim germany restoration. 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 family displaced peter all over r.t. . a group of anti fracking protesters in australia have come up with an unusual way of getting their message across. ok. i. got money to listen wrecking i have been putting out water.

this is what we really need this is. killing. our 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 you 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. there's

a whole range of respect is and that's one of the problems the business additional i was really concerned about is that it's the war that could be directly impacted in the short time by this this fracking not only threatened a lot we would in the ability to drink water and 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 and thinking i might be able to use this in some way to increase activity but the evidence would suggest otherwise the jobs question is really an interesting one because greece search out of points land shows that for every ten jobs they created it is free by last twenty four hours just received the error is some really big questions that need to be answered around those things as well as the environmental concerns. more news coming your way after a short break this is our to international. you

know world big partisan movies and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.

he says r t international and following all of the drama in this week's you a fed champions league football former manchester united boss and joe say marino has been giving his breakdown of all of the action you can watch the latest episode on the touchline now on our website or here on r.t. international two hours from now here's a quick preview of the. i've

never seen a game like you have you know. i did. choose offsides and no word for in all lines women in the history of football all dissolve 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 v.a. absolute 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 at 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 wall the best clubs in in the world a player that they are absolute the. phenomenal eriksson makes

a mistake that you would never forget them as live here for play against. in the way they want to play you have the roof better than your i think until this moment nobody really i don't like the words fears but not by the 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 for the fender and the disc in the league. very very good here here here here here here here north here filomena or saddam are there they scored in this corner and they score it's also possible that you are going says this is not my football this is my football and this is the way i want my teams to play this season they are in the semifinals weed in my opinion fifty percent chances of being in the final i would say so we've got messi old city liverpool favorite

i've never seen messi is the special one here because everything he does you does all the time and when messi has the ball one one one. you are that i am here working we do but i am still the members are. i have to defend them ease them without display as you wouldn't be them but ease them and. the senior south african politician has been branded a racist for urging the black voters not to waste their ballots on white candidates but the ruling a.n.c. party's secretary general denies claims of racism. don't ever vote for a white person would never change the lives of black people they have oppressed us our main hope is the black votes the democratic alliance represents the once interest the elite on the privileged. those comments have angered party veterans

who describe his remarks as inappropriate the government has been ad pains of late to fight to discrimination by launching a national action plan some background on this whole issue white people currently make up just about nine percent of south africa's population but only three quarters of private farmland that has seen an increasing it number of calls from the black community to redistribute the country's wealth we got reaction from a former anti-apartheid activist and also from the leader of the black first land first party. i people are the beneficiaries of racism all of the way that there were liberals what i do even communists in south africa are white people benefited ecology to benefit thirty five thousand white families own eighty percent of the land they will not shed his leg with us they still maintaining that part of it hold on the economy so why would we not have a blacks only look as they should be fighting for black liberation why would any black person vote what the man in that position who has the ability and he's

fingertips the ability to hope try and remain was has happened let's not try to do it i just destroying even all destroying a third and that is the saddest thing because that is not the opinion of the majority in this country i was arrested during apartheid for having brought up two black children living in my home at a time when it wasn't allowed and i think one feels strongly enough about. on trying to overcome everything you call to oscillate it into watch and black you cannot. the european union is unhappy with facebook's latest efforts to prevent foreign interference in its upcoming parliamentary election brussels has written to the social media giant expressing concern that new advertising rules could affect cross border campaigning. facebook's policy would

prevent european political acts as from using facebook facebook messenger and instagram for the e.u. wide paid communication campaigns this policy would put political actors at the same level as foreign entities attempting to interfere in the e.u. elections facebook's new rules 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 panic political campaigning facebook is justifying its actions saying it's. 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 you country if they have passed an authorization process could mean they are a resident in that country political analyst ben harrison kinney told us and

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've 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 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 the bateson injurious to democracy that's not how it should be in 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. and that does it for me i'll be back in about thirty four minutes more news watch nine hundred national. my body told me that i belong with the boys but my thoughts my mind with that along with the girls. under the surgery starts to be a very popular. person dr. i was born
