u.s. special counsel robert mueller ended his silence on the investigation offering some clarification on the report's key conclusions statements a familiar reaction as well. to pietschmann question at this point all options are on the table and nothing should be ruled out and all of those things have. to not have taken place collusion conspiracy obstruction and again we consider this very much to be case. view turn in the venezuela crisis as the opposition on the u.s. now looks at the talks with president maduro to be held on neutral territory in norway. for a repeat election for the 1st time in its history after prime minister benjamin netanyahu fails to form a governing coalition. and the leader of germany's ruling party is slammed for

proposing tighter pre-election media regulation blaming you to bloggers for heavy losses in the e.u. parliament. so why rules should apply for digital content these are. not just for the c.d.u. for media policy as a whole in the future of democracy. live from moscow this is the international want to welcome to world news for this hour for the 1st time in 2 years u.s. special counsel robert mueller has commented publicly on the trump russia investigation he addressed a number of lingering questions about his 22 month long inquiry which found no evidence of collusion but numerous instances of possible obstruction of justice by the president and the pope and as the details. he spoke for 10 minutes and reiterated and clarified much of what was in his widely read report after the 2

year investigation this is some of what we heard from robert mohler if we had had conch confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime we would have said so we did not however make a determination as to whether the president did commit a crime president cannot be charged with a federal crime while he is in office and he made clear that he could not charge a sitting president he clarified that as the last stand the department of justice cannot bring charges against a president rather there are other procedure laid out for that democrats and target of the statement from bob muller regarding the fact that he cannot bring charges against a sitting president as a cue for them to raise the issue of impeachment if you speak to impeachment question at this point all options are on the table and nothing should be ruled out made clear this morning that his investigation now lays at the feet of congress no

one is above the law congress should begin an impeachment inquiry. these administration has continued to stonewall congress oversight begin impeachment proceedings is the only path forward miller's statement makes clear with those who have read his report no it's an impeachment referral and it's up to congress to act they shewed given the special counsel was unable to pursue criminal charges against the president if the congress threw stones of the crimes noise and other wrongdoing a president trump and we would do so however what he was saying was not very much different than what he said in the report months ago emphasized what was in the report he cited indictments against russian citizens as evidence of russian meddling in the us presidential election many emphasize that no collusion between u.s. president donald trump and the russian government was at any point discovered now democrats have been harshly critical of william barr the u.s. attorney general arguing that he is in favor of u.s.

president donald trump and has been swaying and distorting things in donald trump's favor democrats accuse william barr of making unnecessary redactions to the report and acting in other ways that showed a kind of sympathy for the president however when bob muller spoke he did not offer any criticism about william bar or his comments on the investigation report and we appreciate that the attorney general made the report largely public and i certainly don't question the attorney general's good faith in that decision responded to the report saying that the case is now closed that he has not been proven guilty he is innocent collusion or obstruction and all of those things have been determined to not have taken place collusion conspiracy obstruction and again we consider this very much to be case closed there are bob mueller made clear he will not be testifying any further or making any further comments he did not take any questions from the press and he made clear that his report is meant to speak for itself.

legally media at least mine and what he made of misstatement to the justice department. the interesting thing to note is one of the reasons why many suspect he doesn't want to speak to congress is one that republicans asked him when did you know this how many years ago how many months into this investigation did you come to the conclusion a either there was no evidence are there was no reason to charge him but how long have you been stringing the country and the president and the world along why here's another question for you if you can't end dive him if those were the rules why did you investigate him in the 1st place did you know these rules before or did you know the rules before that say you can indict him or charge him then what were you were investigating ah you were investigating collusion and by the way did you notice such

a paltry and de minimus amount of time that was that was given to the reason for this what was this rush in colo should explain this more. push for a negotiated resolution to the venezuelan crisis is picking up steam representatives of president nicolas maduro and opposition leader who are expected to meet for a 2nd round of talks in norway next week however the united states still has its preferred solution. as we have repeatedly stated we believe the only thing to negotiate with nicholas maturity is the conditions of his departure the return to the negotiating table comes despite the opposition's initial reluctance to participate when quite a proclamation of power was supported by a consistent and hawkish stance among western leaders over the last 4 months he goes don of takes us through the power struggle. i thought me for only i swear to formally assume the duties of the national executive as president of venezuela. and

that was how it all began a long and porthole road to the chaos and mayhem venezuela's in today it wants needs local politician overnight short into political stardom and with the u.s. on his side it seemed one why don't you simply couldn't lose. i'm mike pence the vice president of the united states the united states supports the courageous decision many more countries followed suit brazil has just issued a note recognizing one we're going to go as venezuela's president. one plan. one door in europe you know one global venezuela began to devour itself from the inside torn by protest streets flooded people on mass reassuring maduro of their support all venting their anger at a president they call a dictator. meanwhile washington

and rolled its arsenal from threats to sanctions to even seemingly harmless things like aid it try to slip the balance of power in favor over their man why don't i wish him a long quiet retirement on a pretty beach far from venezuela and the sooner he takes advantage of that the center is likely to have a nice quiet retirement on a pretty beach rather than being in some other beach area like guantanamo an unconventional holiday but among the mildest ideas in america's rhetoric all options are on the day all options are on the table all options are on the table all options are on the table all options are on the table because they always are but with all that commotion in white dove camp would have made during the incumbent leader was willing to go all in conventional to trying to a to kill his readiness to talk it out with his new rival program if you go i am committed to international

dialogue today tomorrow and always i'm committed and personally ready but back then why do it was feeling too good to grace's arch nemesis confronted with the blatant refusal my duro klang to the 2nd best thing he had and has apart from the support of a good share of his people the military is. stood strong with the dural despite what you do and washington's efforts to encourage defection. the president imposter tried to make it look like things were going his way. the armed forces are standing behind the people and the constitution but very soon his votes tool overstatement was clear decisions were sporadic local and way below the critical mass needed to have the dura worried and all that leads us here to a complete stalemate why don't has won the battle for the hearts and minds on capitol hill for the embassies for the right to be called president of venezuela on

the diplomatic papers of 3rd party countries but not his own to like to see them into vain militarily your vision i as president in charge of the national parliament will evaluate all necessary options however cautious it may be an official evaluation of an international intervention is as good as an open call for one but with the us no longer looking as trigger happy as before why do it has sent his emissaries to talk with the duro no longer too good for that and the us apparently once confident a quick power play would lead to victory now has learned that all or doesn't elect presidents or there are some in washington though who despite the resumption of the oslo talks appear to believe hostility is the best policy senator lindsey graham even recently invoked the invasion of grenada in 1903 which was widely viewed as illegal to make the case for intervention in venezuela. douras not the legitimate

leader of venezuela he would be in power without 6 or $7000.00 cuban security forces in venezuela i would do exactly what reagan did i would give cuba an ultimatum to get out of venezuela look at they don't i would let the venezuelan military know you got to choose between democracy and the dura and if you choose more dura in cuba we're coming after you when i was under president reagan in 1983 that the us sent an invasion force into grenada under the pretext of protecting american citizens from the caribbean nations marxist leadership in just over a week operation urgent fury had overthrown the cuban government that senator graham's comparison though seems to be glossing over some crucial differences between venezuela today and grenada in the eighty's for starters the island nation of grenada is geographically much smaller than venezuela making it easier to access and control in 1903 its population stood at 96000 and as well as his 32000000 back then the u.s. deployed around 6000 troops according to some estimates the u.s.

military intervention in venezuela today would probably require $150000.00 soldiers human rights lawyer and author dan kovalchuk told us that an invasion by washington would be disastrous. the idea that the u.s. is going to be able to knock on the venezuelan government grenada style is just silliness of course the u.s. could try a military option from the u.s. point of view it would be a disaster it would be a very pretty track to military struggle europe would in the end not support it i think most south american countries do not support it even apparently the military brazil i think the u.s. would stand alone and i think diplomatically it would be a disaster for the u.s. and it could be a disaster in many other ways again if they got the u.s. got something to do another vietnam time war it would cause deaths of course u.s.

personnel would cost trillions of dollars. treasury in may cause a rebellion with the new united states against the government as we saw during the vietnam war so it's a very very risky proposition for the u.s. to be in. the embattled israeli prime minister has run out of time to form a new government following his recent election victory after the deadline passed just over an hour ago parliament voted to dissolve itself and hold a new election in september a middle east correspondent paula slater has the latest from tel aviv. well this is the 1st time in the history of israel that you have a scenario where they may lecture was held in the previous election was held on april the 9th and it was won by the incumbent prime minister benjamin netanyahu and neither of the party that won the largest amount of votes in other words and on yahoo nor the party that came 2nd was able to form a majority coalition government this will mean that israelis will head to the polls now twice in

a matter of 6 months not netanyahu obviously wanted to avoid this and the sticking point was negotiations between him and a former ally and a former defense minister avigdor lieberman there's an awful needed a majority of 61 out of 120 parliament seats and he was only able to get 60 with out lieberman's support lieberman had another 5 seats but the 2 clashed over the whole issue of whether or not ultra-orthodox jews should be forced to go to the army at the moment they are exams and lieberman was pushing for him to be included but netanyahu found himself between a rock and a hard place because a lot of his coalition is made up of religious parties and these obviously don't want to see these young men sort of in on the agreed to be honest this was a smokescreen this is essentially a power struggle between netanyahu and lieberman and at the same time what we do know is that the holding elections will be hugely closely to the israeli economy we're hearing from the treasury that it will cost 120000000 dollars for these

elections to be held in addition there will be more than $1000000000.00 loss to the economy because you'll be having another public holiday also with mentioning that. netanyahu is slated to meet with jared now the senior adviser to the american president donald trump is in the country to try and push forward is much touted his being trump's much touted peace plan and he was meeting with netanyahu on the presumption that netanyahu was going to be prime minister so it's going to be very interesting to see how. that plays out because of course now he's meeting with someone who essentially is not guaranteed of the premiership and what are the implications of that for those so-called deal of the century is trying to keep saying moving forward. blowers see the leading german politician call for online restrictions to political discussion and it is not going down well as altie reports after the break.

you know world of big partisan movies lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and 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. manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go round

lifts only the one percent. in the middle of the room sick. enough again that of germany's ruling party is facing a major backlash for suggesting there should be measures to control political discussion online when 50000 people have now signed a petition against what they claim on a great crime care about his plans for censorship. it isn't like if this we lost among young voters for 2 reasons we failed to adequately address issues that are important to them and we feel due to the handling of their role as a radio what would happen if 70 newspapers decided just 2 days before the election to make a joint appeal don't vote for the c.d.u. or s.p.d.

that would be a clear case of political bias in the run up to an election so why rules should apply for digital content these are 2 questions we will need to discuss not just for the c.d.u. but for media policy as a whole in the future of democracy comments came after a number of you tube bloggers in germany called on people not to vote for the ruling coalition parties in the elections which she blames for the christian democratic union heavy losses on sunday so now does this how clear factual evidence is that the current system is destructive actually and it is my democratic. please don't vote for the s.p.d. please don't vote for the cd and please don't vote for the. we ask you all not to support this. and don't support the s.p.t. . don't vote for any party that doesn't operate on logic or science and isn't course to destroy. the city here latest statement infuriated rival parties as well

the left party called it an assault on the freedom of expression and repression of the german constitution and the freedom party said political movements need to have a dialogue with social media platforms. from the left party told us that maintaining relations with tech savvy youth is crucial. all young people are searching for how can we develop a society they want to participate in the decision process in this society to the movement on fridays for future good as well on the internet like rachel and up us is a part off the search for or participation in society for the 1st victim for future and the last the political mainstream. able to create discourse this which are really the trick the emotion of the people emotionally and by the on the left a letter to your conscious the wall they start to organize themselves and the more

they move. so much from different frames that they can cross a great group. of nations in a documentary that exposed the child sex abuse and poland's roman catholic church of sparked a wave of outrage in the country the film was financed through a crowdfunding campaign and has been viewed more than 20000000 times on you tube. users. most of the plane crash. finally the paedophiles in black cloaks will face justice make more movies like this one which discloses the deception of the church big respect to everyone who decided to be a part of this film artists tell about their horrible experience without the camera the catholic church doesn't lead people to god it just makes them run away from him

. the governing coalition over and justice party also reacted to the film's revelations pledging to confront the problem of clerical abuse its leader initiated a vote in parliament on longer prison terms for child abusers after the documentary began attracting widespread attention but he also accused some of using the situation to attack and undermine the church as a whole i think that there's no poland without the institution people who also give us their reaction. you know everyone has the right to express their opinion but i think need to be more careful with their what it's not just a matter of individual offended the crimes were covered up these things were known to be the church authorities is the opposite of the way they move the offenders from parish to parish is horrendous should be real punishment merely losing the position in church is not punishment justice must be served. in support of the it's hard to say maybe kaczynski want to say it was an attack on christian values he is partly right it's like living in an apartment and closing the rise to the

neighbor's pathological family and when a tragedy happens everyone wakes up but if you react early you can prevent a tragedy you have to fight against those who degenerates. the film shows your truth and how people reacted to truth is their private matter but i do not consider this movie an attack on the church. in the bush you know the church needs to be kept separate from politics that will solve the problem. russian foreign ministers condemned the recent police raids on areas in the breakaway region of kosovo calling them a provocation so i said that the standoff big encouraged by people who want to create a rift between russia and nato in the balkans so be it put its forces on high alert after tuesday's operation in kosovo which it considers to be its own territory of great war that it will react swiftly of kosovo serbs are threatened by local forces however local authorities claim that the operation was aimed only at tackling organized crime 2 u.n. employees were detained during the raid including one russian national who was

later released so he lost control over kosovo after a nato intervention in 1990 and refuses to recognize its 2008 declaration of independence serbian journalist. told us kosovo's justification of the raids makes no sense. the police forces of the so-called republic characterize the events as an ordinary operation but the question is what. is in ordinary operational photographs the reason why this can be described as normal is that the whole environment over also or any other police or military force in the so-called republic of course a lot has been built on crimes and criminal activity that also residents should of course be analyzed in the light of the special session of costs of war and that are here in the serbian parliament i don't think there is more top serbia will have a new policy or resolution of course limit or here after this special session is over there is no democratic discussion in the serbian parliament the reason why

this session is a historic one. i would see change of tone used to describe serbia's position of course a war and mentor here the president sent and i'll quote that serbia needs to accept that he has lost control over the course of when he must seek compromise to normalize ties with p.h.p. or. this statement was followed by a few similar statements in the same tone which is the 1st time i think we hear the president speak of course when we're talking in this manner on a stage as important as serbian parliament is. un is raising the alarm over child malnutrition and war ravaged afghanistan they say there aren't enough funds to help the millions of children in need of urgent day comes as u.s. troops marking a 20 year presence in the country. move the. they are to me and children in the country which suffer from acute malnutrition and

among them $600000.00 children that's a far from fee via acute malnutrition a child that said i suffer from severe condition is a child that needs urgent treatment otherwise he might die. we all the own sort provided off treatment for see video at the nutrition if we don't have money to buy these treatment the severely accident monitored wished we did not get it. fortunately ghana standards we can treat receive your money tree should visit a high level the main reasons are gratian poverty don't work polluted drinking water substandard food and educated mothers.

we also spoke to unicef communications chief for afghanistan who says its children who suffer the most in times of conflict. this leader of 600000 children who are severely acutely manaul reached has been a train for the last 5 years the only issue now is that everybody is recognizing that it is a crisis it is an imagined sea and it needs to be put on the national agenda and that's why we need to the attention of everybody together with the government and partners that this is a crisis and it needs audience attention and we call on all parties of the conflict to all one in factions to take note that the impact of conflict is mainly borne by children and that some work or children should not be part of any conflict in any country. that's all for now thanks for watching sean thomas is here in just about

half an hour with your next update from altie international in moscow. sindoor well the state could stay in the surveillance cameras in. our present day for a while 19 eighty-four dystopian nightmare we put in the cameras we install the cameras on the next cameras in our doors another mantlepiece isn't but that spying devices in our hands and in our homes with alexy and other of these mass surveillance technologies that's the difference between orwell and today's it isn't the worst nightmares would never think that we will imprison ourselves. we put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be

president. i want to. have to go on the press with you like that before 3 in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of my. question. and we don't know what facebook's aims are in fact facebook doesn't know what its aims are because it's going to be the sum total of all the people who are working on these algorithms a whistleblower someone who used to work for facebook came forward last year and said i was one of the news curators at facebook a bunch of us used to sit around every day and we used to remove stories from the news feed that were too conservative and now and then we inject a story that we saw it was really cool. the facebook founder mark zuckerberg says

he's committed to giving everyone a voice he's responding to an allegation that facebook edits conservative views out of its trending topics they can sit back there and types of results based on what they think you should be seeing based on what your followers are presenting now a new report claims that according to a former facebook employee the social media mega company sometimes ignores what is actually trending among its 1000000000 users if the story originated from a conservative news source or if it's a topic causing buzz among conservatives. facebook costly manipulates or users they do it by the things that they insert into the news feeds they do it by the types of posts they allow their users to see and the fact that they actually decided to do psychological experiments on the users is something that i think a lot of people need to really fully understand and they were doing it based upon the fact that different things that people posted they want to see how other people

would react to it. on how to watch what your facebook friends posts can have a direct effect on your mood new research shows the more negative posts you see the more negative you could become. so if for example let's say somebody wanted to post something that was on a news feed that was a very negative story they want to see how their users would react via their lying . by their statements fire their posts and they would show people who already had a predilection to maybe having some depression or maybe having some other issues in their lives and they can figure that out based upon your like space the partner connections based upon where you're going and so what they want to do is take that information and then use it to basically weaponize this information against their users so that way their users could see different things that may affect their mood and may affect how they interact with others and that's something that is highly unethical it appears that some young people may have been so affected by this that

they may have done harm to themselves based upon what they saw on their facebook feed and it was.
