7:00 pm
i. get. these political. trains the president. the president. at least two hundred seven people were killed in eight explosions and. hundreds of hotels and churches were targeted during easter sunday celebrations.
7:01 pm
finally published. in the weekly. for joining us this out a political outsider known for playing a president in a t.v. sitcom was in line to become ukraine's next president's early results give little to me is that in ski a landslide win over incumbent petro poroshenko who has conceded defeat. in the studio to discuss what it all means for ukraine. now we can say with almost one hundred percent certainty that president or. zelinsky will be in charge of ukraine for the next five years and let's be fair this triumph was expected because not
7:02 pm
a single opinion poll tipped porsche and co to win this head of the runoff but that margin that is incredible that is really a sensation and a complete disaster for. when it became clear that it's a total triumph for of all dimmers alinsky he decided to stick to his own style of communicating with his audience through snappy videos and online posts and in fact he posted something that was recorded on a phone which looks like an instagram story or a video for friends let's have a look at it very. very well i want to thank everyone for being with us these four months that is of course. not me the work we've done together the main thing that we've done we've united ukraine united our lives united our people. when he said he's united everybody we've obviously time will tell and yes the style is very
7:03 pm
different now ever since. the exit polls came out he obviously had to hold his first news conference what came out of that which was much more serious than just recording videos on phones and immediately he was given questions about what he's going to do with russia what he's going to do when it comes to dealing with the war in east ukraine and in a way mr selenski calmed european politicians down by saying that he wants to keep working in the so-called normandie format that is when leaders of russia and. ukraine communicate together but in the presence of other european leaders the leaders of germany and france in fact we didn't really see these kind of talks happen for quite a while now also he said that he's still supporting the so-called minsk agreements
7:04 pm
he wants some sort of updates and then he wants to relaunch the process but this is what we hear from russian politicians all the time which this is what we hear from western politicians all the time there is no alternative to the minsk agreements now there is something else that really caught the attention of the journalists there. lensky invited all representatives of the media to start a new information war to win the hearts and minds of ukrainian citizens that are now currently living in the breakaway regions. or that least do you journalists we will invite you in the near future this is our plan preparation we would be very hard on the information to finish the war in. it looks like it's been on the back foot he's really been trying to keep his job but when you look at how quickly he conceded one hundred it was so far only minutes to do that he decided not to
7:05 pm
wait for any official announcements from the election authorities but again that's all because of this massive margin which is a pretty much it's impossible to turn this whole thing around but petro poroshenko said that he's staying in politics and for him this is probably the beginning of another campaign campaign ahead of the parliament elections now there is a situation in ukraine right now and perhaps there is a lenski might find himself in a situation that's similar to that of donald trump when his decisions could be blocked by the parliament where the coalition. where the main party is petro poroshenko his party has a majority in parliament he reiterated that he's not giving up to journalists when he has his press conference let's have a listen to bits of what he had to say. if it doesn't.
7:06 pm
sense the words that winston churchill which i always follow. when i see the results of the exit poll. demand i now call my congratulate let's go back to all of them are selenski press conference where one of the questions was are you ready to accept petro poroshenko as help and are you ready to put him in some sort of government position mr lensky answer was yes i'm ready but if the people tell me they're ready for it so perhaps we're just going to wait and see. mccall he believes it will be difficult and skewed to live up to the promises he's made to the ukrainian public. everyone knew two years they were newsreel looks like and so on but the big tasks of begin in the media play because he's promised if you look at his economic program it's very very. live example is will prove. health
7:07 pm
services will improve education will improve and you and i know our answer to how we are going to do that and then he says of course corruption corruption is the main. main cancer which is affecting. ukrainian life every president in two thousand and four has put country put corruption at the top of the list the events of fighting for their own political life aminu that but republishing who did that and look what happened to him. the death toll from a series of explosions in sri lanka has reached two hundred seven with more than four hundred fifty injured churches and hotels across the island were targeted on easter sunday the first blast hit at some time to his church that was in the heart of the sri lankan capital colombo there were a further seven explosions many of the victims were from the christian minority who were celebrating their holiest day dozens nationals foreign nationals are among the dead we should warn you that the following images are disturbing.
7:08 pm
it was it was thirteen people have been arrested in connection with the attacks this is a video for suspect the tame during an operation in a suburb of the capital sri lanka's defense minister has said the culprits were religious extremists while the country's prime minister has promised that the people behind the attack will face a stern response. the first bombing happened around nine in the morning local time in total five blasts hit the capital including a church of three luxury hotels the last of them happened in colombo at an apartment block during a police raid which left three officers dead about forty kilometers north of the
7:09 pm
city of new gumbo another place of worship was hit and the church was bombed in but to support a tourist destination on the opposite side of the island after that a small hotel in front of a zoo was targeted local media also say an improvised explosive device was found near colombo international airport and this is the aftermath of one of the explosions no group has as yet claimed responsibility for the attacks trunk or is a mainly buddhist country with substantial muslim and christian minorities world leaders have condemned the attacks and expressed their condolences speaking at the easter service at the vatican pope francis expressed his support for all those affected. the wish to express my heartfelt solidarity with the christian community while it was a prayer and with. my life it. said there had been disquiet between religious communities in the lead up to sunday's atrocities. i think there was
7:10 pm
a level of uncomfortable. among different communities of the bigot only there was a some sort of lighting between some of the national groups and we should not forget the phenomenon of terrorism and violence is not all going to move to the ceiling it was heat from one thousand you could. cause in mind when there was an insurgency particularly not east of sri lanka sitting in government that it's all over in two thousand and nine when big got rid of that insurgency and then did they alter. the suicide bombing not that is this something again has happened now after nine nine nine years but at this particular point point of time there are new dynamics to be used to detect situation inside a link there are other factors like dash because dash has been operating everywhere in the war well i think the message is quite clear the mission community which make up at all and seven percent of the stealing confabulation. the messages to try to
7:11 pm
fight them to keep them obvious from diversion places and also the messages to the foreigners who have been doing this to lanka i think it is going to come down hard on this linking economy it is going to be negatively disturbed when it comes to putting sri lanka the situation in the past changing. but this week saw the release of the long awaited model report the heavily would back to document reveal that there was no clues in which we in president trump on russia in the run up to the twenty sixteen us presidential election. 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 despite those conclusions from attorney general donald trump isn't off the hook quite yet around ten percent of the report was blacked out on the house judiciary
7:12 pm
committee has issued a subpoena for the full version to be released for democrats the focus is now shifting to possible obstruction of justice by the u.s. president or a lot from senior correspondent sward as they've. 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 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 modern art and as with everyone interprets this report how they want and they're having a good day i'm having a good day q it was called. no collusion no obstruction even it is incomplete or
7:13 pm
they were going to blow report outlines disturbing evidence that president tripping gauged in obstruction of justice and so that is kind of confused so was mueller trump may have been cleared of collusion but obstruction of justice kind 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
7:14 pm
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 who. to my reading of the. mother 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. units report has trump political the democrats smell blood they have trump and like blood hounds still mercilessly dogged him for obstruction and anyone that gets in the way the
7:15 pm
messenger included they ministration has a new face in any math error 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're calling for bud 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 report and did nothing who hated trump hate him more and vice versa if anything this report is going to america and americans further apart but hey i got to tell you at least incapacity a factor is a happy affront is counting the cost of

a devastating fire not to dawn cathedral story and more still to come on the program. the housing crisis was a result of securitizing mortgages that were resold to dozens of times and then like goldman sachs was betting their own clients and they were engaged in massive fraud again bailed out by timothy geithner and his friends and now they go of that controlled demolition of the housing market is that all the housing is concentrated in a few hands like blackstone as a gift from their friends of the central banks and the result is medieval. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. theory dramatic to follow only mostly. i
