but that's like here. i. think. of the company. russia was that was a little thing that was. at least one hundred twenty nine reportedly killed and hundreds more injured in bomb attacks today on churches and hotels in sri lanka the island's islands christian minority was celebrating easter at the time this weekend. the big news stories of the last seven days as reported from us to you there was no collusion between

donald trump and russia reports reached its unequivocal conclusion plus. i. quote a week has been the heart of france in ash is not true because gutted by that inferno that destroyed its roof and its spire. good morning my name is kevin knowing this is arts international part of the artsy world family we've got breaking news to start with before we get to a recap of the top stories of the week in the weekly hand it's from sri lanka the number of dead there rising to one hundred twenty nine according to state media as a result of a series of explosions in the island's a smalling hundreds more have been injured as well reports say it is feared that those numbers will grow as well many of the victims were from the christian minority who. this weekend celebrating easter.

was . seen as the worst such a lot of panic and fear of course while a total of six plus rocked the country one church and three hotels luxury ones in the capital colombo then up north another place of worship was hit as well in a place called magog about forty kilometers north of the capital and then the other side of the island yet another place of worship was targeted as well as a place called by to kuala. or this is the scene of one of the explosions more pictures through still no group come forward to claim the attacks so lanka is a mainly buddhist countries a backdrop here less than ten percent of the population

a christian i spoke to international affairs professor william charlie who told me it is the deadliest attack on the island in a decade since the war ended its young going to tours in mind we have not seen you know of this team just casually this is in the form of our mass violence it's really you know a bolt from the blue are all you know it's expected in one sense because lately religious tensions have started rising again as you know is the. franchise gone weeks or three cities and you just relax and after the civil war ended two thousand and nine we were hoping for an conciliation at the start unfortunately you know many measure up to this started. found and. you know politics and have met the riots in the past and it is also an active christian. as well as the. biases that have been spread. in regards to their evaluation

scummy. in the big news of the week just gone for a two year investigation almost nonstop media coverage of the so-called russia gate scandal the heavily redacted reporters finally sorted it out the document that came out on thursday revealed there was no cooperation between donald trump or any american with the russians 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 donald trump is not the whole community is the democrats yet all of media a few days ago the u.s. house judiciary committee to issued a subpoena for the redacted report to be made available because some parts of the published one were blacked out so many people fearing the focus now shifts to the possible obstruction of the investigation by the u.s.

president more on the from a senior correspondent more ghastly of two years america waited for this hoped and prayed it would unmake trump all 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 after redacted page censored into illegibility 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 to you who's called. no collusion no obstruction if it is incomplete for me to work with a mole report outlines disturbing evidence. president tripping gaged 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. in the. 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 mueller found in levin instances where trump potentially tried to obstruct justice and democrats have jumped on it the miller report paints a disturbing picture of a president who has been weaving new weapons 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 merciless lead dog him for obstruction and anyone that gets in the way the messenger included the administration has a new face and any messenger and one with a lot more stature he's the country's attorney general he said half

a dozen times no collision no collision no lawyer no legal presentation presenting 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 it 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 those who hated trump hated 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. for russia itself the report claims there are facts of moscow's meddling in the twenty six elections in a sweeping and systematic fashion moscow responded with his own statement saying

the investigation shows no evidence of such actions as expected there was a wave of reaction to the release of the report to hear some of the views that guests an expert shared with us. they still can't get to a point where the president polluted with russia and fact they say quite categorically it did not happen so then why would the president knowing he is an innocent abstract 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. they 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 falsified cation 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 would 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. in the week there was a world treasure up to flames from so the rest of the world this week coming to terms with a devastating fire that ravaged notre dame cathedral in paris on monday the investigations the cause is still ongoing but events to gauge his believe the blaze could have been the result of ongoing restoration work or maybe an electrical fault it's not just the physical damage to the building. of effect to the lives of many parisians to saturday evenings easter mass normally held in oxford was moved to a church nearby present mccrum pledge that building will rise from the ashes he said after dramatic scenes of a historic spike collapsing shocked the world. most

is there to france which is burning reduces his or her to france's certifier is and so that's a part of a walk we are losing two nights says city of just not true down is the heart of paris it is grander it is monumental it is horrible to see everything we have learned growing up in smoke centuries of our heritage.

a. place that. it's very sad it's one of the great monuments of france not far away so it's devastating that a monument like this is burning. and in most as. i say this tucson we will rebuild this great cathedral together we will appeal to the greatest talents to help restore not tradin because this is what the french people expect and it is what our history deserves it is our destiny. so much

destruction more pictures to show if you haven't caught these before drone footage from our video agency ruptly showing where the fire tore through the old ancient building eight hundred fifty years old always witnessed over the years as you see from the pictures the damage is extensive the cathedral one of most popular was tourist attractions in europe pulling in thirteen million visitors every year and as we just saw the spire collapse the roof collapsed a little bit of favor here the famous twin bell towers as well as the beautiful north rose window both which were from the thirteenth century were saved as a stroke of luck as was the church is most precious relic. the crown of phone. well former deputy director of culture in esco francesco bondar and says not tradition will now have to go through reconstruction rather than restoration. now we think destruction that one long yesterday i will use is gone. yes it will completely different thing and what will have to be done is really

a major reconstruction just starvation. major reconstruction project this will. difficult to say today. how much it cost certainty on go to know that many many hundreds of millions of dollars even in a way was also a symbol of orwell more than society can do for the money because you know about one hundred years ago under putin years ago if you know when two major more pairs of associations and there's been brought to us through. the generations so i remember seeing it with everybody today that we have two to three new safeguards and be able to. bring it to the future. eleven fifteen coming up at all clear related to that last story as well as more of the news that showed the week yellow vest demonstrators in paris rallied against the huge amounts of

money donated to repair the not for done cathedral just one of the stories we've got lined up after the break. to. put themselves on the line they did accept it over. so when you want to express. some want to be it's. actually going to be close it's like the full story of the people. interested always in the water. thanks to all.

those who are saying the unexpected reaction the not plays is added fuel to violent unrest in france tear gas and water cannon define the twenty third saturday of anti-government rallies in france as the so-called yellow vests gathered again nationwide now that the protesters directing their anger at plans to spend that vast amount of money to repair the cathedral.

i. know they were executing the mail they quote we have to save. but why do they give so right away for a monument and for nothing else all of our lives is going to hurt them or not all the people reach people can afford to give millions to repair it or their vocation of not to damage charity helping the poor we denounce a government policies that have allowed this only guards to reach themselves they can hand out charity money but really it's because of those people that we have so

much inequality in trunks when for when we always have strong mobilization we're going to express our goals more and more in stages of all we specially hope that the government will accept our demands. well french business leaders were quick to react to the far left already donated hundreds of millions of euro to rebuild not for darren but international affairs analysts we spoke to thinks many people are frustrated at the size of the donations of a time of growing inequality. they're shocked by the fact that in one night the very rich people can give more than one million euros to rebuild. the party it's not a problem they're giving money to rebuild the problem is that all these people making very very rich these last fifteen years ten years ago we had three timeless billionaires there were thirty governors now there are one hundred. there well it's growing very fast and they using all the opportunities given by the european

union and the french cease and desist pushed by you now. to send their money away in offshore countries and where the shocking for the universe is that that money that they're giving by people that are very kind it should have been already in the in the hand of the state. and so we also see as well a protest as minds to is the arrested in london of the wiki leaks founder julian assange we've had a face mask was seen added to the job about money went into lose along with the yellow vest banners with the songes name were also displayed which leads us nicely on to our next story is a rest also spot on good ecuador clashes with police erupting in the capital quito a wednesday. the protests to slam president having sold out as they saw with the whistle blow to the united states then visited washington directly he used to sarge hosting and

coordinating hackers at the ecuadorian embassy in london he suspended the course of sunday's citizenship last week and terminated his asylum and that led to this the arrest coming up of the australian national in the embassy and those exclusive pictures that we bore you we were the only ones there filming it there we are there's the pictures of it a son is convicted by a british court of breaching bail in twenty twelve email so face extradition to the u.s. after being charged with conspiracy to hack a government computer of a civil rights groups say some of the charge is all based on actions any journalist might say in who we are reported to does the rest is raised for the freedom of the press the. what message does it send to the world that's the concern shared by the american civil liberties union the very body set up to defend civil freedoms in the united states the indictment is troubling nonetheless it characterizes as part of a criminal conspiracy journalist to get d.v.d.'s that are not just lawful but

essential to press freedom now much of the indictment focuses on and conspiring with chelsea manning however it's this bit that has everyone talking. he was part of the conspiracy that assigns and men into commercials to conceal men and as the source of the disclosure of classified records to weaken leaks including by removing the user names from the disclosed information and delete in chat logs between man and the songe so trying to protect the identities of anonymous linkers and whistleblowers is now considered to be illegal well if that's the case american mainstream media should be in huge trouble intelligence sources tell and b.c. news the source tells n.b.c. news law enforcement and democratic sources telling c.n.n. that in a five sources two sources with links to the counter intelligence community according to anonymous washington post source take this article from the washington post.

the washington post has obtained transcripts of two conversations president trump had with foreign leaders one with mexican president enrique pena nieto i don't know that with australian prime minister malcolm turnbull the transcripts were prepared by the white house but have not been released the post is publishing reproductions rather than original documents in order to protect sources so time to bring in the department of justice it's a criminal conspiracy to cover up a leaker right or take this one this one turned out to not actually be true it looks like somebody in the government is actually spreading disinformation who could that be well c.n.n. is protecting its source we have a not anonymous sources we protect that for real reasons so the information that is important to the public through can get out of hand and sends donald trump has taken office hollywood has decided to celebrate the who wrote press the challenge the nixon administration back during the vietnam war. do you have the papers.

at the time says seven thousand pages the killing of the white house has been lying about the vietnam war for thirty years. i'm talking about exposing years of government secrets is that legal what is it you think we do here for a living so if you follow the logic of the indictment tom hanks' character is not a heroic journalist at all in fact he's a criminal and that points to another big question a number of voices have spoken up and said that it's ok to persecute and punish julian assange because quote he is not a real journalist but here's the thing the first amendment protects everyone whether you're labeled as a real journalist or not this is how the courts have explained it in the past as the supreme court has accurately warned a first amendment distinction between the institutional press on the speakers is unworkable the ninth circuit really believe that the world has changed and that everybody should be entitled to personal interactions so i do that watching of

course julian assange to. the fact that he's hiding. he's protecting his source that's what journalists do he's a publisher. leaks is an organization that publishes truthful classified information that's in the public interest and under that definition he's definitely a journalist so at this point the u.s. department of justice is telling us that julian assange may have done a bad thing by trying to hack into top secret government files well nobody disputes that but the bigger issue may be what he actually was able to reveal wiki leaks made public a lot of information that angered powerful people and it seems that now they want him to pay up and r.t. new york before i go for this just a minute if you're joining us from a developing story from sri lanka these pictures literally in the last minute or so the company streaming in there this morning least one hundred twenty nine people have been killed looks like it's going to get worse in this series of explosions

across the south asian island according to state media some sources though put the figure as high as eighty five it's early days it's also for the war than five hundred people have been injured thirty five foreign tourists are among the victims that are among the number luxury hotels were targeted in the blasts and churches as well were worshippers were celebrating easter this morning so far no groups come forward to claim the attacks president putin has already offered his condolences very quickly saying the perpetrators should be brought to justice is the latest piece of news on that follow the story dot com this is all to international thank you for watching. what is a bit coy a big point isn't magic coming up a new type of digital currency decentralized digital scarcity chancellor i'm

bringing a second bailout for a bank that's called the genesis blog for reason they're calling it so it will be a source of optimism because i can control my own financial definitely it's just a new way of coming to consensus is again change or it is human history this is columbus discovering a new world this paradigm shifting knowledge that transforms economics and finance good hark apollo eleven landing on to the left stacy. trump said many times that you know we got big. advantages you know with moving the embassy to jerusalem there with the mission of jerusalem as our capital. he said that there would be something few things that israel will not like either so this is why i think the other students should come with opening the minds. to the

negotiations. seemed wrong but. just don't hold. any new world yet to shape out these days to come to educate and gain from an equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. choose to look for common ground. if. the lord god called the command to fall into a deep sleep while he was sleeping he took one of the men's rooms and then closed up with flash. i was born

a male i started living as a female when i was nineteen years old had a sex change when i was thirty years old i've now been living as a woman for twenty eight years and i fully regret this nobody can change genders it's impossible. it's delusional it's a mental illness. and the lord god made a woman. he had taken out of the man and he brought her to the man once i finally had the surgery i went with this was the wrong thing to do it was the wrong thing to do to cut off my male anatomy. command. this is now one of my bones from the flesh of my flesh she shall be called woman for she was taken out of from a man that is why a man leaves his father and mother earth news from nineteen to his wife and they

become one flesh the fact of the matter is the forty percent of people who are attempting suicide are people who regret ever changing genders taught. me more along right there around four o'clock. usually i wake up beforehand if you just wait for me. i read the bible. and then i try to be feeling and listen for his voice his guidance. my name is billy.
