i. did it to get. political. ukraine's new president's early results give him a landslide victory of a president. as. the country's. at least two hundred sixty people were killed in eight explosions in sri lanka with hundreds more injured. targeted during the sunday celebrations. and the week's top stories on. the report

finally published its conclusions. welcome to the program. political outsider known for playing a president in a t.v. is in line to become ukraine's new president early results give a lot of news alinsky a landslide win over president poroshenko he has conceded defeat already. trying. to discuss what it 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 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 in 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 how the style is very 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 zelinsky 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 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 the 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. it looks like that has been on the back foot he's really been trying to keep his job but when you look at how quickly he conceded a honeymoon it was so far only minutes to do that he decided not to 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 selenski 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 party has a majority in parliament he reiterated that he's not giving up to journalists when he has press conference let's have a listen to bits of what he had to say. if it doesn't. 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 him let's go back to the dimmers the lenski 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 zuma lenski 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 historian maza mccauley believes it will be difficult for mrs events queue to live up to the promises he's made to the ukrainian public. everyone knew who he is everyone knows really looks like i'm sorry but the big tasks begin in the media play because he's promised if you look at his economic program it's very very. living room proof. health learners will improve education improvements we all

know. how we're going to. release nation called corrupt which delayed. country a little differently. going in life every president two thousand four. hundred up at the top of the list live ended up fighting for their own political life and we knew that but republishing who did that and look what happened here. the death toll from a series of explosions in sri lanka has reached two hundred sixty two with hundreds more injured churches and hotels across the island were targeted on easter sunday the first broth hits and out that his church in the heart of the capital colombo there were further seven explosions many of the victims were from the christian minority who were celebrating their holiest day dozens of foreign nationals are among the dead we should warn you the following images are distressing. was

thirteen people have been arrested in connection with the attacks this is video of a suspect that tames your own operation in a suburb of the capital because defense minister has said the culprits were religious extremists while the country's prime minister's promised the people behind the attack will face a stern response and the first bombing happened at around nine in the morning local time in total. five bras hit the capital including a church and three luxury hotels the last of them happening in colombo in our pov a block during a police raid that left three officers dead about forty kilometers north of the city of goma bo another place of worship was hit and a church was also bombed but a color that's

a popular tourist destination on the opposite side of the island after that a small hotel in front of a zoo was also targeted local media say an improvised explosive device was found near colombo international airport now we can show you the aftermath of one of the explosions no group has yet claimed responsibility for the attacks because a mainly buddhist country with substantial muslim and christian minorities world leaders have condemned the attacks and expressed their condolences speaking at least the service at the vatican pope francis expressed his support for all those involved. wish to express my heartfelt solidarity with the christian communities affected while it was a prayer and with all the victims of such violence it. says there's been disquiet between religious communities in the lead up to sunday's atrocities i think it was a level of uncomfortable to be among different communities of the good only are

there was some sort of lighting between some of the national groups and we should not forget the phenomenon of terrorism in the barn and all the new. it was. one thousand you could. close in mind when be able to found an insurgency particularly. east of sri lanka. in government that it's already two thousand and nine then big dark insurgency and then they they all tell you. this one side bombing not that is this something again has happened now after nine nine nine years but at this particular point point of time there. dynamics to be used to dip situation there are other factors like dash dash has been operating everywhere in the board well i think the message is quite good out the question community which make up at all and seven percent of the student in population. the message is that if i then give them obvious from places and also the messages of foreigners

who have been doing this then 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. the situation in the past changing. this week saw the release of the long awaited the reports the heavily would that to document reveal that there was between president trump and russia in the run up to the twenty sixth the us election special council'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 now despite those conclusions from the attorney general told trump is not yet off the hook around ten percent of the report was blacked out the house judiciary committee 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 more a lot from our senior correspondent well i guess 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 that people would get closure what america got was this page off the redacted page sensitive into any legibility obviously some of this stuff could pass for modern art 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 is called. no collusion no obstruction if it is incomplete or whoever the mole report outlines disturbing evidence. president tripping gauge 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. mueller writes that it's so complicated he couldn't decide whether trump tried to obstruct justice or not by 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 eleven 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 politically the democrats smell blood they have trumped up and like blood hounds still mercilessly dog him for obstruction and anyone that gets in the way the messenger included the administration has a new face in any matter and one with

a lot more stature he's the country's attorney general he said half a dozen times no collision no question 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 bart 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 those who hated trump hate him more and vice versa if anything this report is going to tear america and americans further apart but hey i got to tell you at least incapacity a factor is a happy. as for russia itself the report claims there are facts of moscow meddling in the twenty sixth election in

a sweeping and systematic fashion moscow responded saying the investigation shows no evidence of such actions expected there was a wave of reaction to the release of the report is some of the views our guests shared with us. they still can't get to a point where the president clued in with russia in fact they say quite categorically it did not happen so then why would the president knowing he is innocent obstruct buller 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 this similar 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 the way a way to hide the real truth and it's really never going to and 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 cold. front is coming to terms with the last monday's fire ravaged not to dump with paris investigators believe the blaze may have been the result of ongoing restoration work saturday evenings easter vigil woman held and not to die was moved to a nearby church of the dramatic scenes of the historic spot collapsing shook the whole world. not. only.

you know says there are two fronts which is burning really says are her two friends she's worth of paris and so that's a part of our culture we are losing tonight c c c look at notre down is the heart of paris it is granger it is monumental it is horrible to see everything that we had alarm going off and smoke centuries of our heritage.

love. was. a live. live. i said. it's very sad it's one of the great monuments of france we've not far away so it's devastating but a monument like this is burning. closer than in motion. i say this to someone else and we will rebuild this great cathedral together we will appeal to the greatest talents to help restore not true them because this is what the french people expect and it is what our history deserves it is our destiny didn't. drawing footage obtained by our video agency right place

shows where the fire tore through the eight hundred fifty year old building as you can see from the images the damage is extensive the cathedral's one of the most popular destination. you are pulling in thirty million visitors every year the spy and the roof collapsed the two belts i was though as well as the north rose window both of which were build in the thirteenth century were saved so too was the cathedrals most precious relic the crown of thorns should have to be attended a vigil after the tragedy. crowd has turned out here plus salma share about one hundred fifty meters away from a not done cathedral this is one of many vigils being held around france vigils taking place in other cities is just me your inmate see holes president might go on has said that he will rebuild not a done cathedral and he said he will do that within five years but you want to get

it we will rebuild not even more. and i wanted to be completed in five years we can do this there was a huge reaction a huge outpouring from people as a result of that fire last night here on the streets of paris thousands upon thousands of people gathered and they watched and waited with bated breath to try and find out what was going to happen next how much damage there would be the card actually erupted into huge celebrations and claps and that was after the news came that the firefighters that they were working on that fire had managed to be able to stop the building from collapsing which will of course say that restoration work well there was a reason that they didn't use the water from helicopters and that's because they were trying to keep that structure stable and they thought that if the pressure of water coming down from helicopters that could actually cause further damage to not

tread on donations have been coming in thick and fast many people described their hearts as breaking over that fire some had said that paris had had it so ripped out . it's french heritage it's part of arthur burns with it we managed to preserve it for eight hundred years and today unfortunately it went up in flames i think it touches everyone it's poignant it's heartbreaking the firemen to the. all they could but there are some things will never get there before. it shocking we find comfort in the fact that there were no victims but it's our french historical heritage and we all share memories of when we visited but now it's fragile and other buildings like this one are fragile the former deputy director of culture at the u.n. heritage agency u.s. coast guard will now have to go through a reconstruction rather than restoration. now how we think destruction that one

long yesterday i mean all he says gone. we have to completely be free and what would have to be damage is really a major reconstruction not just starvation. major reconstruction projects this will. be difficult to say today. how much it cost certainty on the don't know that many many hundreds of those dollars even in a way was also the symbol of a lot more that 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 two at some through. the generations so i know my feeling or i think everybody we have to continue to search for it and be able to.

bring it to the future. and the aftermath of that up to dawn blaze caver need focus for the latest yellow vest protests weeks of relative calm turned violent again during saturday's demonstrations with anger directed at wealthy french bono's who prayed to the boss sums of money for the cathedrals were pat within hours police of rice for travel and deployed tear gas and water cannon in paris.

they were executing male vocal we have to save. but why do they give so readily for a monument for nothing else all of our lives just cannot hold them are not true dollars for all of the rich people can afford to give millions to repair it at their vocation and 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 but we always have strong mobilization we're going to express our goals more and more unstable we specially hope that the government will accept our demands french billionaires and wealthy families race the bush the cathedral repaired and asians with one local pledging one hundred million euros alone then international affairs analyst we spoke to thinks that stark displays of inequality have frustrated many in france who are struggling to get by they're shocked by the fact that in one night the very rich people can give more than

one billion euros to rebuild. 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. their wealth is growing in very fast and they're using all the opportunities given by the european union and the french cease and desist pushed by now. to send their money away in offshore countries and where the shocking for the universe is a that money that they're giving by people by their very kind it should have been already in the in the hands of the state that's over i'll join us again on our program in thirty minutes for the latest global news update.

after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the the ball different clubs on one hand it is logical to sort of know from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and a fresh perspective i'm used to surprising people by salt or not if you think. i'm going to talk about football narvi or else if you think i was going to go. by the way ways of the slide here.

senators financial survival guide i don't find any i'm on if you. think almost five. as of last summer my ex from the future crack up was kaiser.

chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks those are the words spoken by big queen in the genesis block those are the first words to the mood with max and stacy right this is the historic headline that was the times of london which was coded into the genesis block that of course appeared on january third two thousand and nine is it a reference to the purpose of bitcoin to disrupt a banking system or was it just a random headline to try to date when the genesis block was born one of the mysteries of bitcoin that we still debate today was at the beginning of the story january third two thousand and nine or was it october thirty first two thousand and eight when the suppose she white paper was published a peer to peer an electronic cash system was that the beginning was it the cypherpunks twenty thirty years previously when did big queen really began i think

it really began on january third two thousand and nine because that's when they pushed the code into the production environment onto the internet and that's when we got a first look to see whether or not this thing was going to work this was the moment this is the genesis block and it's called the genesis block for a reason. what is the big big question is magic internet money because money is a new type of digital currency big coin is decentralised digital scarcity to me bitcoin is uncomplicate a ball and sun so sure. well you transfer because civil disobedience fundamentally i believe it's just a new way of coming to consensus about things to me is a game changer in the human history because it is a peer to peer system for value transfer to many people it's money and to me it is a source of optimism big.
