my flesh of my flesh. he was teaching me. what i did last week sort of increase the level of chaos across libya even if you win stupidly. continue because there will be. very very intensive resistance to across the country and i think i'm afraid like everybody else in this area i was longing for a while is going to attract more extremists from around africa that lead to. the much hyped similar report two years of media speculation on trumped russia collusion that hasn't silence the attacks on the us president with the democrats finding a new angle. no collusion no obstruction of president in the destruction of

justice certainly obstructed justice multiple attempts by the present to mislead the country. government in libya accuses france of supporting rebel forces in a conflict that killed hundreds in the past few weeks. but the time and place to be enough. and finite length for a ground breaking opportunity as pounds are laid to turn the night sky into a huge billboard is protected from space. it's midnight here in moscow and you're watching r t international live from austin with me and welcome to the program after a two year investigation and almost nonstop media coverage of the so-called russia gate scandal the heavily redacted dimona report has finally been released the document reveals there was no cooperation between donald trump or any american with

questions in the twenty sixteen 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 and media the us house judiciary committee has issued a subpoena for the redacted report as the focus now shifts to the possible obstruction of the investigation more a lot from all senior correspondent lord gusta. two years america waited for this hoped and prayed it would unmake trump or exonerate him that the new report would end this two year long drama about collusion hacking and conspiracy that people would get closure what america got was this

page off the redacted page censored into illegibility obviously some of this stuff could pass for more than ott and as with aat 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 if it is incomplete or you know we're going to blow the report outlines disturbing evidence that president trump in gage in obstruction of justice and so there is kind of confused so was mueller trump may have been cleared of collusion but obstruction of justice scalia and 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 prints 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 trump 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 wounded trump politically the democrats smell blood have trumped up and like blood hounds still mercilessly dogged 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 collision 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 our trouble i think he should resign they are 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 go to tell you at least ninety a fracture is a happy. as expected lots of reaction to the release including russia but the kremlin saying the report provides no evidence of so-called interference and calling it a case of internal us political fighting has some of the news casts an expert shared with us about two years in the making 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 are 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 of things happen 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 of 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 themselves more time the democrats do spend on this the more they're damaging their own party going into elections. it is un backed him and has ended cooperation with fronts 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 support of the criminal half term

libya is currently split between the un backed government of national accord and the revival government of general khalifa haftar who controls the libyan national army earlier this month the general launched an offensive on the capital his troops advance from broke in the east and have been trying to take over tripoli in the west hundreds have been killed over the past two weeks added to this are other militant groups active across the country but mainly in the south r.t. charlotte do penske reports now on the route with france. the u.n. backed government in tripoli making some pretty stark allegations against the french government saying they're actually supporting the all the sides that france is categorically denied that today with an official presidential spokesperson saying no france recognizes the u.n. backed government in tripoli and that the president and the prime minister house a large is the only person the president might call 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 it's only has made this claim it would be very serious difference for economic or commercial reasons i brought an e.u. initiative to bring peace to libya and would support a policy that is fighting as minister of the interior i will not stand by and watch what we've seen in recent weeks is an increased escalation since the beginning of april now the statistics say that more than two hundred people have been killed including civilians and more than nine hundred people have been injured those statistics coming from the rules health organization but of course this conflict has been raging 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 feeling. we came very sorry he died but for the world you would get rid of a dictator and you would choose freedom we've. got to see. let me be. happy you know i could have lived and i knew the feeling. well one of the big three things that libya faces is the fact that the international community just card to agree on a way forward and what we've heard again oh warnings from the un backed government that if the international community caught a few of those divisions and decide the way forward then history courage repeat itself again and libya could find itself back in those dark days of two thousand

and eleven when that conflict that civil war broke out. here political analyst pierre emmanuel tamang told to us french policy in libya has been in a state of confusion ever since the twenty eleven intervention to overthrow gadhafi who was always in. iraq ever read between new friends some libya under cut a few rules on bases where your friends participated to regime change with you noted kingdom united states of libya on this discard belise to the situation totally in the world region and no. since. we choose a frock to. save state we do different factions varies no reading nation there are a lot of tribes fighting each or or countries. look or leave the region are on the globe or try to interfere for fight for influence the

problem is what governments western governments or was claim to support democracy and. you know they were to westernize or of countries that troubled their mother but actually we are new world aware put it you praised much bigger role more and more. security programs we've done migration crises and actually. receive. the national interests which up prevailing and above france on the us don't trust reliever or un back government in tripoli to really manage a country tries to once to stay as a power in the region and want to support more i would say strong leaders supported by strong military. to stop the lies of

a country. the russian north korean leaders are expected to hold their first summit before the end of the month although the exact date and location a yet to be confirmed medina caution of the details. every better for information about this meeting is kept top secret details coming from official sources practically zero we know nothing of the set date or it he said place where this meeting a may happen now 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 alpha north korea may follow the example set by his father and come to russia using a special armored train some other media outlets a claim the meeting will take. based 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 presidents official visit to china the agenda of the talks also are unknown 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 us secretary of state mike brown pale into talks even in the case of possible resumption of dialogue with the us i wish our dollar counterpart would not be palm pilot but another person who is more careful and 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 trump and now this secrecy over the possible meeting with the russian president just leaves everybody wonder what happens next on the way how dogs apparently change donald trump's mind over expelling russian diplomats we'll bring you all the details after this break.

what did last week sort of increase the level of chaos across libya even if he wins tripoli that chaos will continue because there will be pockets of very very intensity existence for him across the country and i think i'm afraid like everybody else that this chaos or longs for a while is going to attract more extremists from out on the africa that he did. most people think just stand out in this business you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest raid in truth to stand down lose business is just the right questions and demand the right answer

. question. welcome back to the program images that children were apparently enough to make donald trump excel expelled russian diplomats from the u.s. last year a new york times claims that may have followed the poisoning of former russian. palin's daughter in the u.k. . as the details this times article was actually about gina hospital donald trump's new cia director and part of it describes basically a meeting that apparently happened between trump and hospital where they were

speaking about how to punish russia for the alleged poisoning of surrogate and yulia script all last year now the times claims that trump was not too enthusiastic about being really strong against russia he reportedly said that script all the script all situation was within the bounds of espionage as you know spies will be spies but it was apparently only after house showed him pictures from the british government of six children and dead ducks that trump decided to start expelling those diplomats mrs house was not the first to use emotional images to people to the president but appearing and with her hard nosed realism proved effective. mr trump fixated on the pictures of the sick and children and the dead ducks at the end of the briefing him breeze destroying option while the sunday mirror did actually publish an article back back in march saying that a couple children fed some potentially nova chalk and infected bread to ducks and some pond in london yeah but for now the british health officials are actually

saying that none were harmed no children or ducks while the russian embassy in london actually sent an official request to the british foreign office asking them to basically confirm or deny that these pictures were sent to washington in the first place because really we don't know there's no evidence to suggest one way or the other and the but they did say that this new information regarding the ducks is certainly surprising like everyone else we learned of the existence of such photos from the new york times piece the information on hospitalized children and dead ducks is surprising the british authorities and media indeed reported that some members of the public including children underwent medical checks as a precautionary measure but none had any signs of poisoning similarly it has never been reported that any ducks or other animals were killed as such we have none of this is true but basically sergei screwball and his daughter yulia were hospitalized back in march twenty eight thousand and just days later british pm

theresa may started accusing russia of using a nerve agent called no we chalk to attempt to assassinate them basically the us took the ukase word for it and they shortly after rolled out sanctions against russia and expelled sixty russian diplomats from the country now lattimer putin did call surrogate a traitor but the kremlin has actually entirely denied these allegations that they had any involvement in the hospitalization and one year later we still don't have concrete evidence to suggest that these accusations were indeed true so when it comes to concrete answers you know it be far be far fetched to say that all the ducks are in a row. the russian startup company has to launch many satellites into the night sky to project the advertisements. into weapons reaching for the stars is such a star that idea.

from over cars to steampunk style cyborgs the futuristic new art of sight fight is 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 through the book so the display itself consists of two hundred small satellites. but we're going to live to an altitude of nearly five hundred kilometer the satellite reflected from sunlight directly to the earth that it. depicts sort 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 the burn out in the atmosphere and 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 rockets says that they are the new stars as.

the ancient greeks constellations several thousand years ago and based their myths on the stands today are myths of brands we live by there we of course space in the near future become a kind of continuation of our living environment with hundreds here and if he goes the bronze 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 boundless it's going to be popular absolutely it will 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 war is being started by this and of course start rocket has yet to prove it can deliver its first space but who knows maybe the first real star wars episode will see will be the battle of the brands. that's the news for now i'll be back at the top of the allen updates but to stay with us now for larry king's politicking.

well. you can. call. it. is it finally over have we finally reached the expiration date of the russia gate conspiracy hoax probably not by definition conspiracy theorists are never satisfied but a few things are for sure confidence in government has taken a hit and the reputation of the media may never be pretty. facebook and google started with a great idea and great ideals unfortunately it was also a very dark side. they are constructing a profile of you and that profile is real it's detailed and it never goes away

turns out that google is manipulating your opinions from the very first character that you type into the search bar it will always favor one dog food over another one comparative shopping service over another and one candidate over another they can suppress certain types of results deiced on what they think you should be seeing if they have this kind of power then democracy is an illusion the free and fair election doesn't exist for the more. the road we give them the sooner we're all the. trunk deals the hard blow to cuba in retaliation for that island nation support of vendors who are in president natal smug duro critics warning that it's bad business for the us added european allies we'll have analysis on this edition of

politics. politicking on larry king in a major blow to u.s. cuba relations the troubled destruction announced monday tough new changes to some of its economic policies regarding that out of the nation including limits on travel and allowing cuban nationals living in the united states to sue cuba's government you'd ministrations hard lines in retaliation for how van a supporter of venezuelan president maduro but critics of last of the plan is dangerous to u.s. allies in europe and possible to the u.s. economy as well for analysis we turn to our man chris lou former deputy secretary of labor and former white house cabinet secretary during the obama administration he joins us from seattle washington hi chris what do you make of all of us.

well look the goal of trying to pressure the venezuelan government makes complete sense i'm not sure this is the exact way to do it are it will have a negative impact on our trading alliances with both your up in canada it could potentially spur retaliation against u.s. companies both in terms of their relations their trail ations with those areas as well as u.s. companies that are already doing business in cuba so to me this feel like get. another effort by this administration to try to and wind up an important policy that was done by the obama administration and it's also a way to ratchet up trade pressures and so this doesn't strike me as the best way to accomplish their larger policy goal he seemed to be against cuba don't you think so. yeah well you know it's hard to tell whether that's based on a philosophical opposition to the government there and certainly that there are

many reasons to be concerned about what that government has done or whether this is simply about playing the politics of the cuban american population in florida and whether he's this is simply a plate an appeal to that group why the. intrusion what would do you would do your. relationship with cuba. well you know we have had this essentially an embargo on cuba. you know really for the last you know fifty years or so meanwhile european countries canada have actually had much looser trading relationships which have allowed their companies to do business and so what will essentially happen with this new policy is that it essentially allows us nationals to basically bring actions against european companies kadian companies which could then trigger a whole series of trade retaliations going back and forth this is not unlike what

we've seen really over the last two years in terms of the ongoing trade battles that not only include your canada mexico but really asia as well who would have the . cruise lines in. i don't think we do know that and i think this is fresh and has tried to pull back some of that loosening of that that occurred during the obama administration so again i you know look taken to its logical extreme that would certainly deter those kinds of travel operations from increasing their business with cuba oh sure sure we do. well look this is a complicated situation and this is not necessarily a partisan situation obviously the government there. you know there are questions about the legitimacy of the government there are questions about how they have serious concerns about how they've treated their people.
