who have been have been with wiki leaks and i mean julian assange through this whole i would say just thing would step aside. for releasing the truth about government secrets and how they affect all of us to warn the sister those people should be very very good. their own old. newspapers. new york times spiegel. there are individuals who have done no more. no less no less than julian assange so they could all be talking. to. us special counsel robert mueller and in his resignation on wednesday he is off the happiness investigation into alleged collusion between president china and russia
1:10 am
before announcing the decision he sought to give clarification on the report's key conclusions. if we had 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 we chose those words carefully and the work speaks for itself. and the report is my testimony. so i have likened the report to a rule shot test in psychology where patients give interpretations of what and staying represented in a similar way both camps in washington are interpreted in his final speech very differently. mother was essentially referring impeachment to the united states congress the special counsel has demonstrated that president clinton is lying i think it was very clear if you could clear the president he would have but he couldn't. be the same as the record. you know it struck you

1:12 am
that u.s. intelligence classify information relating to this where it goes deference of how parts of the media have shifted their stance on whether the us president can question the activities of the intel thermoses. the thing with spies with all this secrets and power and egos is that it really seems to goo to their heads and honestly how can you blame them they are literally be yawned public scrutiny and you wouldn't tries to stick their nose in you just stamp everything that's classified and loudly denounce them as unpatriotic see it as a very very serious and outrageous move on the part of mr trump once again trampling upon the statutory authorities of the director of national intelligence and the heads of the independent intelligence agencies how dead trump what true american would ever question why they're being wiretapped and spied upon good thing
1:13 am
america has m.s.m. be she true patriots. with the bread and full time so he can vent his frustrations for everyone to hear of course to do that m.s.n. b.c. had to sacrifice their principles and integrity president obama said today he still stands by his cia chief john brennan even though it turns out the cia was indeed spying on the senate and some senators are calling for brennan to be fired now just to be clear that was in 2014 when they weren't on the same side and spying than everyone your own elected leaders included was considered dubious these is 2019 and the word spying is now considered politically incorrect it offends people who see people who secretly eavesdrop and record and film
1:14 am
everyone agents the good guys. a talking point from the president and those around him telling congress buying did occur on the trump campaign it's a loaded word stupid. the implications of using that word has now gone trump's favorite new word and the trump media's favorite new word. senate intelligence chair dianne feinstein accuse brennan cia of secretly tracking the senate's investigation into one of the worst abuses in recent cia history and now factor in this huge new scandal the fact that brennan cia was spying on members of congress the cia was spying on the senate intelligence committee basically busting into their computers but i give m s n b c too much credit or others to washington post gave brennan his own column where he publishes pieces with nubile noble titles i will speak out until integrity returns to the white house promises
1:15 am
well done washington post it takes courage to set aside what you believe in to go back on your word but again it's been 5 years who remembers things like that right the guardian same thing. cia director john brennan lied to you on to the senate fired him. why is donald trump attacking the u.s. intelligence community surprisingly brandon isn't working for the guardian yet one by one though the pundits and the seeing wrong from right the question is are they going to demand brennan's resignation or accountability within the cia patriotic answer by the way is no holding the cia accountable would be sure to put a secret agents do top secret stuff and drink martinis and add things and carry
1:16 am
out special secret missions i didn't see anything improper on lawful and yes james clapper brennan's former boss is now a c.n.n. employee. we are tell you this every true american can be proud of their a brave brave people watch over you and record everything you do or say they and night whether you wanted or not and if times or politics change in 5 years you will remember it ever happened. on saturday multiple blasts rocked an explosives plant in western russia leaving dozens injured. and.

well you know what you do when you love the blossom my balcony was blown away and it's the same vocals and floods everything is smashed up people ran out on the street they couldn't understand what was happening to me just like when you have never seen anything like that the windows were shattered and that column of smoke was terrifying it looked like it was to kilometers high i.q. probably all the windows are smashed from the top floor down where i believe. i heard a massive band the windows were knocked out and i was looking on in shock wondering what was going on then i heard another band and ran home in the living room all the furniture was scattered around.

the european parliamentary elections so green and liberal parties make significant gains while anti establishment over this came out on top in countries like italy france and belgium and reports there was no shortage of political challah in the run up either. so months pundits have been predicting a rise in anti establishment policies ahead of the e.u. elections after once they were right but across the globe in the weeks leading up to the vote panic was setting in. take martin penn days before fronts headed to the polls the e.u. top court ordered her to pay back 300000 euros to the european parliament this followed a case in which the national rally had been accused of paying an aide incorrectly
1:19 am
but the timing felt off it was almost as if it was a way to tell voters that her party just couldn't be trusted that came hot on the heels of accusations that former trump strategist steve bannon was actually the one pulling all the pen strings yet the public didn't seem to care and the national rally still talked the poles hate in france other scandals that were rife in the media included one of the russians well at least the alleged russians. it was of course austria's if. the party which was in coalition. people's party found itself under the spotlight not for its potentially dubious policies but for a good old cash influence gambit. revici's

. he says there was even an attempt to drag le pen's name into the thick gate as it became known a few months ago marine le pen was singing the praises of austrian vice chancellor heinz christian straka saying how formidable he was strong being forced to resign we find out why he was trying to sell his services to foreign forces behind this nationalist movement is a submission to foreign forces despite this the f p o still managed to pick up just over 17 percent of the vote in austria. there was also of course the elections very own me too moment one swedish democrats candidate accused the other of sexual harassment and even though the scandal washed away it didn't hamper the anti immigration party's performance they increased their
1:21 am
share of the vote to more than 15 percent. and despite merkel. warning the populous parties wanted to destroy europe 2 we are haring to deal with populist movements that in many areas are contemptuous of our values and want to destroy the europe of the values we represent we have to stand up to this these parties significantly increase their representation in many parts of the e.u. sex money the long arm of washington reaching for controlling europe nothing seemed to put voters off seeking something new what is clear from the results of these elections is that the old guard could no longer count on the masses to support them in blind faith what europeans want is something different it seems but godless what that is what i think why you're skeptics because of the migrants people are
1:22 am
skeptical because they do not know what it's going to get them they are afraid of migrants or. the reason is the decline in the number of elites compared to the rest of the people as well as the quality of the democratic representation. spouse because. i think it is because of immigration or who repents her afraid of too many migrants coming i think this is the primary cause of this vote. in part. parties had a disastrous defeat my opinion it was high time for it and now we see with the european results we can influence our national politics or will be implemented here on a standard us i think that brings the debate in england has made many people here in germany think about it this discussion has turned many citizens against the u. . i think people feel as if the existing political parties are giving them what they want and therefore their hunting around for something else things to some
1:23 am
extent is probably a protest just trying to engineer the tory vote to go more with. it wasn't unexpected as an outcome i would say kind of the level of division i would have expected across the country. tallon foreign minister franco frattini told us he believes here a skeptic parties could act as a catalyst for a better europe. the new parliament will be have really shrugged meant that there will be many small groups not always on the same lie on many of the issues but that. i think this part is a political move which. is why together was very apparent is the other words don't not represent a threat they care about resent it pushing the fact for the current. to go towards

a deep trance formation because there are widely italian borders got all retire early and by the many other countries do want these a transformation is to overcome the students for. spotters went into overdrive this week when reports emerged of a number of strange objects in the sky over the netherlands and amateur captured the images mystery turned out to be the 1st part of a satellite program by entrepreneur it on last space x. company heading into orbit he plans to launch nearly $12000.00 satellites this year with the aim of helping provide internet access to and wide parts of the globe. 30 it seems not everyone was prepared for the surprise of things so many new celestial bodies heading skyward one local u.f.o. website received 150 reports of an alien invasion the concern for a lot of professional star gazers is that the night sky will change for the worse
1:25 am
for ever. i know people are excited about those images of the train of space x. stalling satellites but it gives me pause if space x. launches all 12000 they will outnumber the stars visible to the naked eye i consist of us from my garden down to magnitude 5 i'm on the edge of the city lots of light pollution and can just see the milky way 1600 stars a bright of the night 5 thanks to space 6 star link i will soon see 7 satellites for every single star to those upset about how bright the elon musk's starling said allies are please don't forget their horrendous impact on radio astronomy illustrator artist team to investigate ways to reduce the amount of light coming from the satellites while astrophysicist we spoke to thinks and satellites will dials the work of star gazers. visual issue which is there i'd
1:26 am
ask you to telescopes usually track the stars in the sky and then the subtle waves move not according to the 30 minutes go but according to their orbits which is a bit faster and that leaves huge traipse tricks in the images when you analyze them and therefore this is a huge problem that you have to deal with we usually estimate we doing this kind of problems but if the number of satellites increased to post 2 and with the brightness is maintained as we observed last weekend then that this could be really problematic but in the optical region which is the kind of light that we can see the other probably meeting the radio which i think it's even worse because there is some leakage of our radio signals from the sub loads. i'll be back around 30 minutes time.
