the much anticipated. years of media speculation. the attack on the president with the democrats finding a new angle. no collusion no obstruction. of justice. multiple attempts by the present to mislead the country. ukraine seventy thousand. stadium in a televised election debate as the incumbent president is on stage with a comic actor to take his job in sunday's run. and the u.s. government in libya accuses france of supporting rebel forces and cooperation with

. that as the violence in the north african nation intensifies with hundreds over the past few weeks. it's ten o'clock here in moscow and you're watching all to international live from last you you're with me welcome to the program. after a two year investigation and almost nonstop media coverage of the so-called russia gate scandal the heavily redacted miller report has finally sorted it out the document reveals that there was no cooperation between donald trump or any american with the russians in the twenty sixth presidential election. the special counsel's report states that his quote investigation did not establish that members of the trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the russian government in its election

interference activities but isn't off the hook in the eyes of the democrats media the u.s. house judiciary committee has issued a subpoena for the unredacted report as the focus now shifts to the possible obstruction of the investigation more lot from our senior correspondent juan castillo. two years america waited for this hoped and prayed it would unmake trump all exonerate him that the new report would and this two year long drama about collusion had king and conspiracy people would get closure what america got was this page of the redacted page censored into in legibility obviously some of this stuff could pass for modern art and as with art everyone interprets this report how they want and they're having a good day i'm having

a good day q who's called. no collusion no obstruction even it is incomplete for me to work with a mole report outlines disturbing evidence. president's trip in gage in obstruction of justice and oh there is kind of confused so was mueller trump may have been cleared of collusion but obstruction of justice scalia in the air mueller writes that it's so complicated he couldn't decide whether trump tried to obstruct justice or not the guilty no innocent the conclusion the congress may apply the obstruction laws to the president's corrupt exercise of the powers of office accords with our constitutional system of checks and balances and the principle that no person is above the law specifically you have found eleven instances where trump potentially tried to obstruct justice and democrats have jumped on it the miller report brings

a disturbing picture of a president who has been weaving new web of deceit lies and improper behavior and acting as if the law doesn't apply to him it's a very interesting and very disturbing read that does not exonerate this president the whole repercussions for the country of having a president who lies to the country who misleads the country you urges others to do so a president to. to my reading of. the report almost certainly obstructed justice certainly intended and attempted to obstruct justice and if true this alleged trumped tantrum is only making it so much sweeter. the president slumped back in his chair and said oh my god this is terrible this is the end of my presidency i'm. you know this report has trump political the democrats smell blood they have trump and like blood hounds still

mercilessly dog him for obstruction and anyone that gets in the way the messenger included they ministration has a new face and a new messenger and one with a lot more stature he's the country's attorney general he said half a dozen times no collusion no collusion no lawyer no legal presentation present its conclusion six times the attorney general getting out there and getting his narrative his take on it as vigorously as possible because attorney general barr wants to represent donald trump i think he should resign they're calling for barr to resign a traitor a sellout they scream and they want mueller himself the darling just a few months ago to be hauled before congress the mueller reports and did nothing who hated trump him more and vice versa if anything this report is going to america and americans further apart but they got to tell you at least

in my view fracture is a happy i think a lot of reaction to the release including russia with the kremlin saying the report provides no evidence of so-called interference in calling it a case of internal u.s. political find some of these guests and experts shared with us about the two years in the making whenever port. they still can't get to a point where the president did with russia and in fact they see quite categorically it did not happen so then why would the president knowing he is innocent obs struct put that in as a matter of pure politics as a sop to the democrats who are on the commission twenty five attorneys all of them democrats most of them hillary supporters a large number of them hillary donors and we had to do something in the report to make them happy why did this investigation even begin i mean was there wrongdoing there was there you know falsification of documents to get pfizer warrants there's

a lot of embarrassment here we're talking about millions upon millions of dollars of taxpayer dollars of time wasted if things happened for something that legitimately had no basis in fact and any evidence that might have been presented to start the smaller investigation all last night we had chuck schumer saying that well how dare william barr you know come out and speak before we get the report what kind of report with this be 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 we're going to continue to see one thing after another with trump but they went immediately from russia collusion to trump 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 most of the attorneys i talked to at the beginning of this said when they start investigations like this they always find something on their target it came back that he was squeaky clean and i think that turns the conversation from what's inside of this investigation to what

prompted what was the impetus who paid for this investigation the rule in the united states the constitutional law if you're innocent until proven guilty that right actually was not given our president he was absolutely considered guilty by much of the leftist regressive media in the united states and so i don't know exactly how they're going to explain. more time the democrats do spend on this the more they're damaging their own party going into elections. train where a packed stadium and watch the most unlikely pairing slug it out ahead of sunday's presidential election runoff the incumbent petro poroshenko was up against comic actor for the media as a landscape who played a president on t.v. and is now hot to become the real thing well let's bring in our tease. you've been following this a debate in a in a huge stadium to come to the warm up how did they get yeah that was

a stadium which actually hosted the final of the twenty twelve it was almost eight years ago now the two presidential candidates are debating there but i just want to make it clear that these were the debates in the country which is actually the reason for all the bitterness between the western world and russia all the sanctions boy because when people are refusing to talk face to face and here referring to the most high ranking officials it all began after the events in ukraine in two thousand and fourteen and now let's go back to the dates so that. they are ahead of the presidential runoff but in the first round the comedian bloomers alinsky performed way better than expected he won a bit less than a third of all the votes and petro poroshenko got almost two times less than that sixteen percent so that was the reason why everyone was expecting him the incumbent

president to come up with some sort of bold right quiz smooths a real game changer probably something that would turn everything around but instead the comedian t.v. actor boulders alinsky posted a video where he said hey this is what. i dare you to do let's have these debates at the stadio you have twenty four hours to decide and mr poroshenko found himself in a situation where he just couldn't refuse otherwise he'd definitely have no chances to win this and there we have it we just saw two candidates on that stadium and there were so many difficulties ahead of that the sides couldn't agree on the format on the actual rules that's why two stages worse sit up there and there were different groups of people they were trying to separate portion close supporters lenski supporters. there are some empty seats as you can see there right behind you

behind the stage but still there were people in the football field so it was tens of thousands of people and we could understand i mean if there are two stages what are they going to scream at each other obviously or microphones but petro poroshenko physically at some point walked all the way over to the stage and that was really an awkward moment so definitely extraordinary day evening of debates and a lot of awkward moments there seems like he's acting like the one behind which obviously is in the polls at the moment so they've had this opportunity to impress how did the two candidates try to win over their audience as i mentioned president poroshenko came to power as a result of the mind revolution in two thousand and fourteen and that was when the president was considered pro russian victory in a cold which was overthrown and back then it was

a few months after the martin revolution porcher and co won the presidential election in the first round obviously was more than fifty percent of the votes now his support according to the pre run of opinion polls ranges from twenty percent to forty percent which is obviously not enough to win the second round this time and twenty nine thousand so what do. trying to do is really play the anti washy card he's trying to portray selenski as a russian puppet or as the man who won't be able to withstand all this russian aggression as petro poroshenko calls it the let's take a listen with what he's saying and how he's trying to push that idea through. here you should probably i believe that the lansky does not want to surrender ukraine i believe that one does not dream of tying ukraine back to the russian in time surely this has such a dream if he doesn't know how to resist it today we definitely need to remove the

risks for ukraine's future. something else that petro poroshenko is doing is trying to make the voters associate mr selenski with an all the guard who actually owns the t.v. channel where most of these alinsky shows are run now if we look at the media and himself as he said he starred in and he played the part of the president and you t.v. show that appeared in ukraine three and a half years ago and this is playing the part of an ordinary schoolteacher of history who all of a sudden becomes president because he hates everything that's happening in the country and because the population hates that too and for many people in ukraine the reason why they're voting for is lenski is the concept let's give it a try let's make this dream come true a person was no experience in politics let's just at least give them the opportunity to try and get rid of the old political elite and this is the cards

that he's playing he's saying that he won't have any of the portugal people in the new government if he wins and he in fact promises to start legal cases not only against the people in government right now but maybe even petro poroshenko himself to take a listen. over to see which of the business. first of all i would like to see that i'm not your opponent i mean your job. so it looks like it will be very difficult for petro poroshenko to really turn this around the margin is just very big according to opinion polls indeed he was more emotional he was more aggressive even though i can say today during these debates many people said that he looked a bit old fashioned but this is what politicians do after all maybe he was a bit better this time in terms of how he interacted and in terms of all the

experience that he has but it still be it will still be very difficult for him will have to wait and see politics are unpredictable and ukraine especially if they certainly. thanks very much for the update on this. u.n. back to government has ended cooperation with france accusing the country of supporting rebel forces. all relations between the interior ministry and the french side have been halted because of the french government's support of the criminal half time libya is currently split between the un backed government of national accord and rival general khalifa haftar who controls the libyan national army a fortnight ago the general launched an offensive and midst un plans to facilitate a general election its troops are advancing from broke in the east towards the un backed government in the capital tripoli in the west hundreds have been killed over the past two weeks added to this other militant groups active across the country but mainly in the south r.t.

shiela de bensky reports now on the route between the un and france over the north african nation. the un backed government in tripoli making some pretty stark allegations against the french government saying they're actually supporting the other side that france has categorically denied that today with an official presidential spokesperson saying no france recognizes the u.n. backed government in tripoli that the president the prime minister. is the only person the president might go on is speaking with including as recently as this monday but of course it's not the first time that france has been accused of putting its own strategic interests in this oil rich country ahead of anything else italy has made this claim it would be very serious if france for economic or commercial reasons e.u. initiative to bring peace to libya and would support a party that is fighting as minister of the interior or will not stand by and watch

what we've seen in recent weeks is an increased escalation since the beginning. now the statistics say that more than two hundred people have been killed including civilians and more than nine hundred people have been injured just it's coming from the world health organization but of course this conflict has been great. now for many years going back to two thousand and eleven when countries including france staged an intervention well mark gadhafi has lost legitimacy to lead and you must leave if you've heard the thing about a good. move. we came very sorry he died but the first the world you would get rid of a dictator and you would choose freedom relief thank you guys really really let me

be. happy caring i could have gone i'd like to be the first to go well one of the big three things that libya faces is the fact that the international community just cold to agree on a way forward and what we've heard again all warnings from the un backed governments that if the international community called heal those divisions and decide the way forward then history courage repeats itself again and libya could find itself back in those dark days of two thousand and eleven when that conflict that simple rule broke out. the sky is not the limit for one russian startup that's planning to put ads in orbit we'll show you all the planning after this break. getting. you when you own.

business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. welcome back to the program a russian startup company is to launch many satellites into the night sky to project. it goes to donna looks into whether reaching for the stars is such a stellar idea. from over cars to steampunk style cyborgs the futuristic new are of side fighters still peers have imagined scores of disturbing futures and in some cases fiction turns out to be a grim prophecy in a few years' time the shimmer of stars in the night sky might be out shined by the

glow of billboards flashing with ads a russian company starts rocket is looking for clients to be move their advertisement from space yes you heard it right space here is how the russians say it will work with the book so the display itself consists of two hundred small satellites called cube sats which were going to live to an altitude of nearly five hundred kilometer the satellite reflectors use some light directing the earth so the cube sat track like a picture of that we turn on and off what we need to display moves into orbit of growing messages or images of the satellites are equipped with energy which allows us to remove them from once they've served their time and then have them burn out of the atmosphere when they're quite human well naturally not everyone shares the excitement over such prospects imagine being overwhelmed with ads you can't skip you can't hide with block they're just floored up there and reachable almost like

in that episode of the dark side. black mirror when the main character couldn't afford to skip a commercial. another concern what if it's hacked do i have to remind of all those cases when people hacked into billboards to broadcast the not so child friendly content and after all this is not my. romans and gazing at a constellation of bronze but start rocket says that they are the new stars as. the ancient greeks constellations several thousand years ago and based their myths on the stars from today are myths abrams' we live by them there we of course space in the near future become a kind of continuation of our living environment and is here and if he goes there brands will go there too it's just a matter of time if so will inevitably be followed by other companies to place

their ads in space perhaps he's got a point there's not much money to be made from stars but the risen marketing their commercial possibilities are endless bonus it's going to be popular absolutely it'll be so popular and so many people will want to do it it will drive people crazy and they will then be clamoring for it to be removed because it will be an eyesore people will hate it it will be a product of excess what if it's libelous what if it's scandalous what if it's considered against the religion of an adjoining area of a country can they complain who owns space if i'm somewhere and i look up and there's some obnoxious advertise but first something and i object to it. you i haven't a right of objection can you imagine wardley started by this and of course star broke it is yet to prove it can deliver its first space who knows maybe the first

real star wars episode will see will be the battle of the bronze. the russian and north korean leaders are expected to hold their first summit before the end of the month although the exact date and location yet to be confirmed but in a culture never has the detail of every bit of information about this meeting is kept top secret details coming from official sources practically zero we know nothing of this date or at least the police where this meeting may happen now as the kremlin spokesman explained safe secrecy by a matter of security and while there is very few official details some media outlets have already started to speculate there are rumors that the current leader of north korea may follow the example set by his father and come to russia using a special train some other media outlets a claim of the meeting will take place on the end of april which is

a rather soon in the city of light of our stock in russia's far east before the russian president's official visit to china the agenda of the talks also are known but let me give you the idea of this meeting setting will take place after a rather unsuccessful negotiations between north korea and the u.s. even called for the replacement of the u.s. secretary of state mike brown pale into talks even in the case of possible resumption of dialogue with the us our wish our dollar counterpart would not be but some other person who is more careful mature in communicating with us while this came hours after north korea claimed to have tacit a new tactical weapon for the first time after a rather unsuccessful negotiations with donald. and now if this secrecy over the possible meeting with the russian president just leaves everybody wonder what happens next on news now back at the top of the hour with more updates but do stay

he pretty much is a rallying cry across the entire western part of libya from xin than from misrata from other towns all over the place groups within tripoli itself in addition to the military that is under the authority of the legitimate government of tripoli they're all. resisting to show he did not really realize that he is going to be ironically the one who is going to unite all of these disparate groups in many ways some of them were enemies of each other to defend to defend the west against him so i don't see him being able to do anything further than that he's also his forces are retreating in many parts of the western part of libya i think less he.
