this is the move for you. an empty chair greeted the house judiciary committee instead of the u.s. attorney general on the second hearing into his handling of the report into alleged from russia collusion the session was labeled a circus with one democratic member brandishing a. chicken bar should have shown up today and answered questions you think yesterday prove you're not sure but is it before anybody still in the circus continues over the. world press freedom day the u.k.'s foreign secretary accuses this travel of being a weapon of misinformation and weighs in on who exactly he thinks should be trusted . out of all rights activists in the bahamas raised as while swimming pigs become the latest or a sensation only. the local business is quick to profit.

good morning love from watching all the international i don't know who. was joining us this hour. another u.s. attorney general has snub to the house judiciary committee refused to testify before its about his handling of the report into alleged trump russia collusion the day before senators had grilled him on the issue of the house hearing was not counseled however democrats set up a chair and placed name called in front congressman steve cohen then puts a ceramic chicken on the empty chair doubling the attorney general chicken bought the democrats are now calling for william boss head considering whether to hold him in contempt. and reports. well a very short hearing on capitol hill as william barr the u.s. attorney general did not attend he did not show up for the hearing before the house

judiciary committee that he was subpoenaed to testify before now representative gnabry who is the chair of the committee is now at this point considering bringing charges of contempt of congress against him for failing to testify when subpoenaed however republican legislators had a different opinion and argued that his testimony yesterday in the grilling he received from democrats was basically a circus and a charade and that he should not be obligated to continue going through that yes failed the men and women of 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 you through general in contempt if you stores or fails to negotiate in good faith mr barnes moment of accountability will come soon enough and i think that probably it can make one of 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 the department of justice has made a less redacted version of bob miller's report available to top democrats but these top 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 share mainly 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 now things escalated from there members of congress basically tried to be somewhat the actor cole a bucket of fried chicken was displayed in order to illustrate the argument that that he was that william barr was chicken or cowardly for not attending furthermore they made a point of looking under the desk to make sure that william barr was not hiding under the desk in fear chicken bar should have shown up today and answered questions of why. socks look clean compared to this team it's a sad day in a bear democrats are considering contempt of congress charges against barr but

republicans are saying he did the right thing and that this is simply a politically motivated investigation intended to undermine the u.s. president the trump russia story persists with more hearings more testimony and possible contempt charges for the u.s. attorney general a congress in its capacity here is not really investigating malfeasance by the attorney general which is their job is oversight they're actually having some perry mason like. miller to investigation which will gain them nothing and the bar i think just basically said look six hours of this is enough and done they didn't want him to show up they made it impossible for him to come so that they could have the theater they had today it's about politics it's not about finding any wrongdoing that part is over now we have the political discussion the tiny tiny tiny portion that's not grand jury testimony that was actually redacted that's been made available to the committee and they don't want to look at it because as i said

they want the theater that they don't want cooperation they're not looking for something bad they've decided there's something bad they make the bald assertion and that's good enough for them a little report as brought to defeated twenty sixteen democratic candidates hillary clinton to the airwaves in an interview on m.s.m. we see the former secretary of state seem to ignore the conclusion that trump's campaign team didn't collude with russia and pins and cool in a foreign power to hack into the president's tax returns. since russia is clearly backing republicans why don't we ask china to back us i hereby tonight ask china that's right and not only that china if you're listening why don't you get trump's tax returns i'm sure our media would richly rewards you now according to the mother report that is not conspiracy because it's done right out in the open this woman just can't except that she lost her campaign all by yourself and just she's

grasping and she just she's trying to be humorous she just doesn't understand humor but what she did wittingly or unwittingly is acknowledge that trump was joking she used to joke that to mimic the joke that he made nobody believe trump was serious and that somehow calling for russia to do it i mean what what next we're going to we're going to call out from the from the podium hey russia why don't you go up this country that's annoying to us and like that's going to actually happen i mean this is they contrived these bogeyman and that russian collusion just hasn't borne out they won't let it go. a weapon of misinformation and a broadcaster of lines. been described by the u.k.'s foreign secretary during an event to notice freedom of the press. his views on who exactly audiences should trust as reports. the u.k.'s foreign secretary jeremy hunt

has recently been championing press freedoms and to mark unesco's world press freedom day he's delivered a speech in which he talks about the future event independent media and he mentioned r.t. spoiler alert he wasn't exactly complimentary about the channels. in the. official narrative jeremy hunt went on to cite the poisoning of the script pals that took place in soulsby last year saying that the kremlin came up with forty different versions of what happened and then it's weapons of dissent from asian presumably that's russian media then went on to broadcast those narratives to the world the u.k. foreign secretary concluded that the best defense against those that try to deliberately so is trusted and independent news outlets he also announced that in

july london will host the world's first summit on media freedom something tells me that r.t. isn't on the guest list. sports reporting we spoke to journalist summers who says there's a lot of double standards when it comes to defining what is trusted media. level they claim to be in favor of freedom of speech and another level they complain when people say things they don't want to hear it's the usual hypocrisy really isn't it i mean lots of people believe in freedom of speech as long as they hear the things they want to hear a freedom of speech just to mean that everybody's allowed to say what they want to say and people can watch what they want and make up their own minds about what they think is happening the idea that you can control what other people say in this day and age is simply wrong and you know ultimately they're not going to get very far with this in the british government will probably conclude that there's not a lot they can do about this i think if the material you produce is hard quality

then people are going to want to watch it. lawrie's about the possible influence of russian media on e.u. domestic policy on the rise europe's about to hold the e.u. parliamentary elections in late may well have more on that from charlotte doing ski in just a few minutes. the u.s. is set to continue its support for the saudi intervention in yemen this comes after the senate failed to overturn president trump's veto of a house resolution on ending u.s. engagement in the conflict. saudi arabia is eight despotic dictatorship. that works over time to prevent any movement in that country toward democracy this is also about squaring us policy with national security interests and getting the blood off of our hands and we are not give unflinching unwavering unquestioning. devotion to

a regime that treats its own people that way. the house passed a resolution back in april with sixteen republicans voting in favor of it however it was vetoed by donald trump who doubled the dangerous attempt to weaken his constitutional authority saudi arabia launched this bombing campaign and here and back in twenty fifteen against two three rebels which riyadh views the terrorists incursions resulted in what the u.n. describes as the worst manmade humanitarian crisis on earth.

he says it is a business. and if he has to deal with a murderous regime he will continue to do so. here is no compunction. morally or with any regard to human rights to in their relationship and he sees it strictly as a transactional relationship to give us careful isn't going to fuel us industry and the u.s. military and bar he has no human rights concerns or yemen of course is not the only country where civilian lives have been ravaged by war in syria many orphans have been forced to adapt to life on the streets are to visit damascus and medical performance kid children now being exploited by criminal gangs. and i still have. to have.

a lady. yeah and there was one that's just. come. into thirty but. let me. get it done no more. take up.

and a long time collaborator of wiki leaks founder julian assange she is facing trial in ecuador a court in a country just dismissed an appeal by the cyber security expert who was arrested in quito last month on the very same day a song was taken into custody in the u.k. . is a well known free software developer and privacy activist he's reportedly worked with wiki leaks in the past when he was arrested by dorian or thirty's on charges of trying to hack computer systems in the country however his lawyers have dismissed the claims as politically motivated. decision that has been made by the tribal it's illegal illegitimate and we feel they're. not justice have been

served today not now and not every investigation by they have been demonstrating what seems to be the supposed. way to get it. where i mean what's the information that they have it was just some political points there was it we got we want to show to the world that the decision made here was a political one. you know a low one so that's our first argument then they were going to keep fighting through the investigation and we're going to see other options to get all three. there were aspects of the hearing that i did not like for example the difference in time that allocatable those we were granted just fifteen minutes to talk with the prosecutors spoke for almost one hour and fifteen minutes critically some of our arguments were dismissed my whole job is now we have to wait ninety days for the public executions closest to school school and class a possible thirty days delay after all that we hope to find out what the crime is

supposedly hacking attack and then we can get to properly defending our client. himself is in a london prison awaiting his extradition trial to the united states the hearing is set for may thirtieth he's also been sentenced to fifty weeks for violating the terms of his pile in the u.k. we can expose founder is wanted in the u.s. for allegedly conspiring to hack into classified government files appearing via video link from jail told the court he would never surrender to the americans voluntarily activist lori love who was also accused of hacking u.s. government computers told us songes well cannot be guaranteed. i think he's going to have an uphill struggle everyone has an uphill struggle under us that should or should 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 if we manage 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 for 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 in isolation to happen the european union is holding parliamentary elections in less than a month and some countries have already started countering potential russian interference story and more after this short break. you know world of big movies lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than

ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. through.

the program in less than a month the european union is holding parliamentary elections campaign seven zero wants to cross the block to try to get people out to vote. some countries are also bracing for what they fear will be russian attempts to meddle in the election that he also made it's unlikely the result will be affected by any such interference our correspondent shot it looks at the pre-election and he meddling efforts. as the eve. stead of focusing on what's happening within its own borders some countries are more concerned with what russia is or isn't doing for example the most recent one this campaign website which is

part of an official e.u. initiative called the european external action service it claims those pesky russians try to push especially agenda to divert e.u. citizens from the righteous way of voting on the agenda there are things like the last e.u. states so when t. narrative as well as the popular one people versus the elites in denmark one thing tank is so concerned it's created a website on how to recognize russian dissin from ation except if you read closely the site it may. not yet been seriously affected by descent from asian we need to be prepared for this kind of warfare offering perhaps the same mentality as that during the cold war but you just have to have had an underground bunker or come the nuclear apocalypse you'd be toast and there are warnings but no one is more

looking forward to the elections than russian president vladimir putin yes that's right the pressing urgency of ensuring even citizens know that the kremlin bad guy is out to influence their vote means all forms of warnings are being instigated even cartoons. even on a. list. so even citizens really believe that the a democratic process is under threat from russia. not a free. i'm not concerned about that personally but i'm pretty sure it will happen . i know maybe a little. i'm not personally worried about it but i think it could happen however

it seems like the real issue here isn't misinformation it's actually a problem with good old real information within each study showing that actually only five percent of europeans actually knew when the elections were taking place and of course if all else fails perhaps russia could just stick with the secret to ballou go way to take over the european continent. r.t. paris. bombers is a favorite offshore banking location among fat cats apparently though pigs also love the archipelago not for tax breaks though but for the clear blue waters while swimming hawgs have become its latest tourist attraction. did they excrete off of a ship wreck or were they brought here hundreds of years ago. explorers they are truly one of nature's most amusing accident.

out of all rights activists though raising the alarm they say local businesses are exploiting the feral pigs for profit by mistreating them for the amusement of tourists came from the bahamas humane society says this is due to ignorance. i think the stupidity with the animals is fairly ignorant so we see the same form of stupidity take place all over the world we have seen in many many video clips of tourists trying to feed them. but we've seen pictures of people trying to ride on their backs throwing sand teasing them or pigs swimming torode is the friend of their businesses saying animals are cared for well enough local officials plan to introduce new legislation to regulate the industry it came around again once tougher regulation. people need to know how to behave around them and they need to be careful and then needs to be someone who is watching who can stop people from

behaving inappropriately and unless there is adequate surveillance no i don't think you can there are no regulations here in the bahamas to protect the pigs from the stupidity of humans. to football's champions league now which is just seen the first leg of its semifinals with tottenham losing to ai x.i.i. liverpool thrashed by barcelona there is a merino give his reaction to the game's plus makes his predictions for the second leg in the show on the touchline later on r.t. . liverpool's rave approach i've been seeing in the past twenty years and many teams in the champions league and the beat of the lawn the involved perception in the

company no god the football made maybe completely different of course they have a good team of course they have phenomenal players but that player is absolutely incredible liverpool deserves much more than the city in the old the feed much more but you can also see in the last two corners of the game could be four of a zero or more five zero because the game was broken and they couldn't cope the question is which was so long are you going to have messi these sides. yet we know and even should we 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 little people give one needs of two they are going also to cover that that situation it is impossible to impossible to stop the movement is phenomenal one meter here and i bring the friend there with me at least mentally because of the

front of sings i'm going in that direction and i'll i'm going to attack the space in front and goodbye people can see or nice fair play organized he's playing against the teen where he played for a few years and where he was loved that there's nothing to do we does ninety minutes and for these ninety minutes if forgot that he played for liverpool instead of being a coach you want a pacific eight or nine you want everybody happy in you want to do will be you are not the pacific it that you want to coach tottenham was playing with three something back. against nobody the post by by and that is can be the moment of a key moment of the game a key moment of the tide was ready for bed the dog explored down that huge space that they were leaving behind i don't think so but i do x. new they are better than those in here they are stronger than those in here we have to cope with with these they feel that they are almost there i think they didn't

have the pressure on them until now and now they have because they're almost there i think novel they don't sleep very well. at all dreaming they are all dreaming with. the stadium is. atmosphere it's absolutely beautiful at amsterdam so begin next week. for the solve join us again with thirty minutes for the latest global news updates . 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 or the biggest read in truth
