2:02 pm
the department of justice by placing the needs of the president over the ferry administration of justice and yes we will have no choice but to move quickly to hold the attorney general in contempt if you store fails to negotiate in good faith mr barr's moment of accountability will come soon enough and i think that probably ok mike important to note that it was pointed out that at this point the department of justice has made a less redacted version of bob miller's report available to top democrats but these top congressional congressional democrats navl palosi and others have refused to read it and said that instead they want the entire report revealed to a wider audience the chairman willing to go look it what the attorney general offered him it's pretty amazing to me he wants to go in executive session ask questions about it but he won't go read it what are the democrats scared of they don't know bill barr here today they've had the report they read it they don't like what's in it the still in the circus continues over here members of congress
2:03 pm
basically tried to be somewhat the actor cole a bucket of fried chicken was displayed in order to illustrate the argument william barr was chicken or cowardly for not attending chicken bar should have shown up today and answered questions of black socks look plain compared to this team it's a sad day in a bear now yesterday william barr testified for over six hours and it was quite a grilling he received one point of contention seems to be a sentence from bob mahler's letter to william barr in which he refers to quote public confusion about critical aspects of the investigation now democrats argued that that sentence potentially was accusing william barr of having misled the public regarding the investigation however william barr said that was not the case that that sentence from the letter referred simply to the media not to his own activities i asked him if he was suggesting that the march twenty fourth letter was inaccurate and he said no but that the press reporting had been inaccurate bob
2:04 pm
miller's report. did not reach any conclusion about whether or not trump had engaged in obstruction of justice bob mahler's report simply. illustrated soup instances in which that could potentially be the case william barr feels that donald trump did not obstruct justice so with clear disagreement on capitol hill the saga of the trump russian investigation even much as longer after its conclusion seems to be continuing the trump russia story persists with more hearings more testimony and possible contempt charges for the u.s. attorney general. and twenty presidential hopeful are the things that the democrats are employing an absurd and losing strategy in their attempts to undermine donald trump but mostly backfiring on democrats right now because it's making them look absurd i mean again when you go from russia's interfering in american elections all the way down to well the tourney general didn't accurately summarise the finding
2:05 pm
the special counsel in a way that the special counsel liked enough i mean it's becoming stupid now it's i don't think this is really damaging trump's credibility it's just turning this whole thing is even more of a joke than it already was they're actually going to continue this nonsense i think they've just backed this losing strategy and are going to keep on backing it just as just about as long as they possibly can you know they've already lost this debate and they're still fighting it it to to me it's just kind of a joke. to london now where the first school tearing on julian assange possible extradition to the united states has been the we can fix cofounders wanted in states for allegedly conspiring to hack into classified government files appearing via video link from jail still to cool that he would never surrender to the americans voluntarily is literally with the we can leaks editor in chief spoke after the hearing denouncing his treatment. it has been twenty three other twenty
2:06 pm
four hours a day. that is what we call in general the terri confinement that's unacceptable in this case is not about hacking. this case it's about a journalist in a publisher who had conversations with a source about accessing material and spoke to that source about how to protect their identity this is protected activity that journalists engage in all the time and any prosecution and extradition of mr songe for having done so place a massive chill on investigative journalism in the world it was a preliminary hearing julian assange appeared via video link from belmarsh prison where he is currently incarcerated and the judge also tim if he consents to being sent over to the u.s. to which julian assange replied i do not wish to surrender myself for extradition for doing journalism that has won many awards i'm protected many people so it's the judge replied i'll take that as the decline and the hearing was only now the next
2:07 pm
hearing is going to be on the thirtieth of may that's going to be procedural so going through the legal steps that are to be taken as part of this legal case then there will be another more substantial of hearing on the twelfth over june but the real sort of extradition case the full hearing isn't expected for many months and it gives you an idea of how drawn out the drip drip of this legal process is going to be the central question that's being examined is whether the british authorities should to allow the extradition of julian assange over to the u.s. where he is facing charges of computer hacking that was of course prior to the leaks published by wiki leaks the the toria say rock wall logs in two thousand and ten that featured that video that appears to show u.s. soldiers shooting at a real civilians now judy in a saunter walls out another court yes. today he actually appeared there in person
2:08 pm
and he was sentenced to almost one year behind bars fifty weeks for skipping bail back in twenty twelve that was when he entered the ecuadorian embassy seeking asylum and the judge that was pretty strict on julian assange julian assange anjan his legal team have said that the reason that he had to seek asylum in the ecuadorian embassy was because he was wanted in sweden for questioning over these alleged sexual assault allegations which julian assange to this team member who always said is just a precursor for a u.s. extradition request so he spent seven years inside that embassy last month his relationship with his that dorian hosts broke down to the extent that he was dragged out of the ecuadorian embassy in london he was arrested by british police and he was slapped with this u.s. extradition request that is now being well mulled over in the courts here in
2:09 pm
through us on style as with anything to do with the wiki leaks founder it's attracted the media circus it's attracted many of his very vocal supporters to come here there was trouble with getting a court room large enough to fit members of the public and his supporters and all the journalists that were so interested in following this case julian assange if he can be pursued by the u.s. or thirty's or even extradited over to the u.s. for something that he has published well then that could have implications for any journalist anywhere in the world if they publish anything to do with the u.s. . you can see these pictures from london where a protest is ongoing outside the ecuadorian embassy in the song spent almost seven use that before being arrested last month we could look so the chief christian is trying to cling to saul and his belongings from the embassy but is being denied entrance he's reported the incident. the police as
2:10 pm
a crime. last year britain's high court ruled that another activist lori love also accused of hacking u.s. government computers could not be extradited on the basis is well being couldn't be guaranteed here to do the demonstration outside the court where the song this hearing was being held. i think he's going to have an uphill struggle everyone has an uphill struggle under us actually this request because it's a very unbalanced treaty so the u.s. doesn't have to provide any evidence they just have to have their paperwork in order the presumption is a view only towards extradition we managed to win there's a lot of campaigning and a lot of support political support from the m.p.'s and support from journalist she is going to have a harder time because he's already out of this politically he's upset the establishment in the u.k. the establishment i would say is complicit in his persecution and we need to do everything we can as members of the public and supporters of this journalist or people involved in journalism to ensure that we do you know i allow the injustice
2:11 pm
and isolation to happen. supporters of the venezuelan opposition leader one goh i don't have gathered in front of the country's embassy in washington the diplomatic service has been closed since the u.s. to close as fun as well as interim president. it was be. me by any grudge i want you. to meet my colleagues that i was comes the venezuelan capital soren to government protests turned ugly after an alleged coup attempt by the position was put down his left one woman dead and almost fifty people injured president nicolas maduro spoke at a may day rallies calling for a day of dialogue and also confirmed the alleged to attend had been stopped from u.s. national security advisor john bolton claimed there was never any attempted overthrow
2:12 pm
of the government in the first place you know the lies and intrigue that they tried to use against us have failed the coup attempt has been defeated this is a trial for truth loyalty and. clearly not a coup we recognize one go i don't know as the legitimate interim president of venezuela and just as it's not a coup when the president of the united states gives an order to the department of defense it's not a coup for one why don't you try and take command of the venezuelan military. russia's foreign ministers discuss these on as well in crisis with u.s. national security advisor bolton america's state department says that secretary of state's month might also meet sergei lavrov in finland for talks on the issue lavrov pledged to continue dialogue despite significant difference in views. what you're going to look to for those discussing the situation in venezuela but i don't see how we can find a common approach where no policies based on the principles of international law
2:13 pm
and the us line is to appoint someone as an interim president in another country threaten to use military force along with. to overthrow the khans regime. the u.s. might object to the coup but if we turn to the dictionary the word is defined as a sudden violent under legal seizure of power from a government guest debated whether that's what's being attempted in venezuela. the u.s. supports coup d'etat is all the time this is another example of that one has no power under the constitution of venezuela the fact the us recognize him recognizes him is of no import the u.s. recognizes him because he has already agreed to privatizing venezuela's oil in the interest of u.s. companies that's why the u.s. recognizes him and that does not make him with the opinion of the united states is not the only opinion for all other fifty countries recognize why go as
2:14 pm
a legitimate president ninety percent of venezuelans do support also while you go there are legitimate president this is an unfolding coup that the u.s. wants to push forward and we have to remember by the way the u.s. supported the kill in two thousand and two against hugo chavez and we're reluctant to call it a coup back that the fact that the u.s. wants to use some man ticks to cover up what it's doing doesn't change the fact that this is a coup when people say you know seizure of power illegal seizure of power the basic definition of a coup that key element there is not illegal because. why though has a legitimate power recognized by the international community overwhelmingly good nice international community. in by the venezuelan people who goes out in masses of people or are on the streets supporting medora that's undeniable there are people
2:15 pm
there that support him i have friends there contacts that support him you never hear their worst or use never what you never hear from them in the press and so you get one side of the story and that is tantamount to misrepresenting destroyed their recent science or do not justify the line in common with basic common me and the three million plus. venezuela for other countries did not start when this actually started this started way before that six million people voted for nicolas maduro last may in a free and fair election that i observed do you know how many people voted for one . none. the us military has stopped publishing its regular reports on the amount of territory controlled by different forces in afghanistan the head of the watchdog responsible for monitoring this is the us citizens will now know less about their country successes and failures in the
2:16 pm
region reports made by the special inspector general for afghan reconstruction all cigar the special post created by congress was responsible for watching over us activities in the country sic are also conducts criminal probe the work of the special inspector has been criticized by donald trump who slammed the idea of making it public. kind of stuff as we're fighting wars and they're doing reports and releasing it to the public now the public believes the enemy the enemy retards reports a study every line or they should be private reports and be locked up and if a member of congress wants to see that you're going to read it over the last two years washington has gradually been reducing the amount of information it makes public on afghanistan in two thousand and seventeen it stopped publishing data on casualties last july it ended assessments on the role of afghan government forces the latest role. it makes it harder to track what territories currently under the control of the afghan government now the trend of reducing information on
2:17 pm
afghanistan because it is a backdrop of u.s. talks with the taliban and the worsening security situation in the country the war in afghanistan has cost americans more than one trillion dollars since the invasion in two thousand and one and it's claimed thousands of american and afghan lives and afghan presidential candidate is now calling on u.s. forces to be held accountable for the devastating toll of the conflict any criminal act by any civilian or military personnel of the united states on nato will have to be brought to justice through their competent legal pot it is we strongly argued that this justice process should not be politicized africans have been victims of human rights violations over the past almost four decades. peace activist kathy
2:18 pm
kelly believes that the u.s. government doesn't want people to know what is happening in afghanistan. united states pentagon certainly doesn't want the advise of the united states popular as it doesn't really care about consent or assent to the war what they want is the money and if you are just people who truly understand what a disastrous failure and catastrophe is now going on eighteen year war in october to be the eighteenth year what this has represented in terms of failure and destruction i think people wouldn't choose to pay these extraordinary sounds of money that people need the information and here in the united states isn't that well know that people are supposed to have exactly this kind of information. the u.k. prime minister is sacked her defense secretary gavin williamson accusing him of leaking secret plans involving the chinese tech giant while away williams in those
2:19 pm

2:20 pm
i strenuously deny that i was in any way involved in this. leak and i'm confident that with current and former inquiry would have been to keep my position. now where the first leg of the final result is in the poll bottles ahead for the two remaining english clubs. on the touchline right now. because there's survival guide station just like all the stars. repatriations look at the rest of seven years. ago at the separate record.

2:22 pm
all of the good of that all laong good it would put me on the management of that it's a team that mean that you all know paul. well it was pretty good way to lose a room to grow what used to do which could be oh i would only be done when i come in. here do you really do need your money you know did you have stormed the lead here sort of my look from moods or bears or did in the clue which are coconspirators some are going to be. funny you know one of. them there were a. total.
2:23 pm
not he didn't know no wrong. oh you ought to go to. move for your. dream agreed to prison which i'm old enough to remember there was most of my family were unemployed working class there wasn't it was bed you know much worse subjectively than today but there was an expectation that things were going to get better. there was a real sense of hopefulness there isn't today today's america where shaped my the turn principles of concentration of wealth and power. reduced democracy attack solo down engineer elections manufacture consent and other principles according to know on. one set of rules for the rich opposite several from.
2:24 pm
that's what happens when you put her into the hands of a narrow sector of will switch will is dedicated to increasing power for chills just as you'd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of america. that got the football league hopeful because that was much more and the think it's possible in football to do that to work the movement is phenomenal and they still. a mate's more months away out of people can say. they better away than the home they don't sleep very well instead of being a coach pacific eight zero. you
2:25 pm
predicted barcelona would win the first leg and then i aks the heights again would be tight which i think is pretty much what happened but all the headlines today about lionel messi and those two goals he scored against liverpool who in the end just couldn't cope with it i had told you a couple of weeks ago all that messi would never be my special one here because what. it was all the time so you feel becomes a special one ones then the becomes a special one almost every and almost every week but i have to say you. are absolutely incredible. i think you made that result. liverpool was positive liverpool was in spite of
2:26 pm
a start the game without me nor icing for sure was not the union decision to leave a figment of you feed me was in the top of yours. game but in spite of that then god playing. striker. liverpool's grave in the approach they made something that. i would like to know but. i don't think in the past twenty years many teams in the champions league will be out of the lawn or involved position in the come no normally on the style is very impose their game and they dominate the game in every expect us to didn't happen liverpool was very very positive to have three big chances at the cup now even in seventy five more is also a lot and normally of three score one and then the story can be
2:27 pm
a different one but that. the god of football made it may be completely different and. of course they have a good team of course to her from normal players but that is absolutely incredible to be fertile pool you said previously that in order to contain messi you have to create a cage of plays around him to try and stop him playing and that seemed to be what they were doing quite effectively but those losses of seven minutes with a seven minute period where he scored twice i mean there's very little they could do about that because italy that you did once in. which i think the really well which was to push one of them on or four many times along build up from the keeper which is something that. they don't know how to do and they know if they do they're going to be dominated by the opponent so they always try to go short they take lots
2:28 pm
of risks playing from the back because they have players of super quality really able skates they are so comfortable taking these risks from the back but liverpool's pressing so high every that so many times that's they're going to have to go along and of course van dyck. deep they always win the first of all they recover the second ball and again liverpool was having the ball that's the reason why they had i think a little bit more than fifty percent of the ball of the ball possession so they did many things they did many things well. they didn't score and and that you base specially when you have that kind of approach and they didn't score and then they allow the game to be broken specially after the two zero the game was broken and. we can all of these they say that liverpool deserves much more then the new and the feed much more but you can also say in the last two
2:29 pm
corners of the game could be four to zero or five zero because the game was broken and then they couldn't cope with that kind of transition according to the two you're going to game plan they did their best they had a positive game and then they'd be they before the fact they didn't score and they pay for the fact that it's not just them is the majority of the teams that plays against the against barcelona that's why the. that globe we that boy has ten. victories in the in the league the question is. which one of them are you going to have. to say goodbye do you think he's still improving as a player he's almost thirty two but is he getting better and better in that i believe so i believe so. and the free keep is something that. comes with. practice come with experience we have
2:30 pm
lots of examples of players in football that they are not phenomenal players and they are fantastic freekick takers. because can happen a separation between football temp talent and that specific city of their action i believe that that massey stealing joy is practiced and the curiosity is that yesterday the wall was a good war joe warming is. mark deep. this to for sure the first was wrong as the second was. yeah you know and even film you know that looks small that is not small but it really is the last one normally the ball never goes from these but these side they give the goalkeeper give one meter to do they are going also to cover that situation it is impossible to impossible to stop i
2:31 pm
think we will pull the have the feeling of.
