to eye level we are 2 minutes here want to get these 2 questions in to you in 2016 president elect truong said publicly that he would like to see the books it's your boss nigel raj in d.c. as the u.k.'s ambassador there was unprecedented do you think poisoned the well was far as ambassador was concerned all the way back in 2060. right and what we should say of course is that kim was already on bassett during 2015 so he already had a bit of a harbinger of things to come today a tweet from farage saying that it is time for a break here ambassador to be installed that said that is not how diplomatic and appointments actually work in the u.k. of course and they're not political appointments. just a personal note you or british you're there in the u.s. reporting from the united states talk to me about to help this diplomatic disaster . hit you when you got the news. right well i will say this yesterday i said to you brant that it's important to look beyond the bluster and the consequences today in washington d.c. we woke up to some very real and serious consequences which have certainly shaken

western city of cologne the call for equal rights especially for parents and for more inclusion of truong and into sex be it comes as germany has seen a rise in attacks. by the. residue found why there has said the country's opposition and government will resume talks in barbados and these are bought off efforts to resolve the ongoing political crisis in the economically devastated nation he has not specified a date for the resumption of the talks stalled in norway last month. turning up italian it was a story that captured the wild attention on june 23rd last year 12 boys from a youth soccer team decided to explore a cave in thailand with their coach now the group entered the tom cave in the northern province of chandra i but shortly after the entered heavy rains began to form floodwaters rose the boys and their coach were trapped early efforts to find them field the search team grew to hundreds of people including diving experts and risk us from all over the world then after 9 days with no news and 4 kilometers from the mouth of the cave diverse on the boys starving still alive now came

well president truong just moments ago left the oval office and spoke to some reporters and of course not very surprisingly he called this all again a witch hunt and in addition to that he called it fake news a lot of phony stuff those were his words here today not very surprisingly but one thing is clear both sides are really trying to claim victory president trump also is sad that this is an embarrassment for the democrats and for the whole country the democrats in turn. got the sound they wanted at least partially and the one was of course robert lawler as you just said and heard it. claiming that this was not a witch on an earlier he said in the judiciary committee that president trump is not exonerated so essentially you have robert model of the author of this report. proving to major of claims of the president wrong at least through the eyes of robert muller. some would say listen to this next exchange here the question why not indict the president if you have reason to believe that he tried to obstruct justice is it correct that if you had concluded if the president committed t

insufficient evidence that trucks and the campaign conspired with moscow but he did not exonerate truong destructing the investigation. you're watching the wife of from berlin after a short break i'll be back to take you through the day stick around for that. every journey begins with the 1st step and every language the 1st word can call me coaxing germany to find germany. why not permit helen farage. to suffer in simple line on your mobile and free. t.w. zingy learning course. german made easy. robots are still in the development phase. but what's going to happen when they grow more . humans and machines able to piecemeal co-exist. or are we on the verge of a remarkable life. if we just bumble into this totally unprepared with our heads in the sand fusing to think about what could go wrong then let's face it it's probably going to be the biggest mistake in human history. artificial intelligence is now spreading through our society. is this the beginning of a good thing to teach. will we be subjected to continuous state surveillance. ai will experts be able to agree on technical guidelin

ok barbara go there when do you britain truong. idea remember that it makes sense to be a man liberations here in london the biggest we have a son. he made us we have a saw. what about this notion of boris johnson being a british version of donald trump. now that seems rather clear and present danger but the bigger danger is really that he will leave britain to the point where it becomes. donald trump who will i mean if in there was tony blair and george w. bush and the british popular populations does remember that is really stuck in collective memory and if he goes that way things can go very wrong very quickly for him look at iraq the crisis with iran if he now turns if he doesn't get from these european allies what she went on quickly enough in a military way he might turn to washington and say ok i guess it was the americans what does that mean that he will adopt is absolutely more biliteral and stance towards iran that he will lose the support and the alliance was paris and berlin and it will be a whole different ball game in

last month but no you know she's leaving office not on the best of terms with mr truong exactly and when he 1st came to the white house she visited who can forget that picture that was filmed of the 2 of them holding hands when he reached out to her and he took her hand and since and read it it looks like almost an abusive relationship because he has taken every possible opportunity that yes there we go he's on my own a hand that he did but he's taken every possible opportunity to criticize her particularly over bricks it only last week calling it foolish and also saying he she should have listened to him and how he would have suited the you to get a good deal so all the way through he said that and she has always remained quiet she has not retaliated in any way and perhaps this has been the closest that we've got today and she leaves office next week and she's leaving i guess a warning as well to boris johnson does she see boris johnson or ask you do you see borders johnson as may. a possible trump. well many people have said that in the past and there are similarities not just there ha

inadequate evidence to prove a conspiracy but he said once again his investigation did not clear truong of a crime of obstructing justice many are viewing miller's testimony today as a last chance for the democrats who may want to build a case for impeaching the president. robert mueller who spent 2 years leading an investigation determining if president trump had colluded with russia did not look like he wanted to be there but for democrats and republicans in congress this was an opportunity to get their points across live on t.v. the report did not include he did not commit it shocks of justice. that is correct and what about total exoneration if you actually totally exonerate the present you know and in fact your reports expressly states that it does not exonerate the person it does democrats were disappointed that the miller report found no smoking gun but hope that enough of the dirt will stick to dampen trump's prospects in the 2020 election republicans he is the hearing to hammer home their view of the president's innocence in their questions to a frail looking and distracted mil

>> the man in the video philip truong was very badly injured. his ribs were broken, collapsed d lungs. he eceive a settlement from the university for that $950,000. for the officer the case really was interesting to show this kind of divide between how the university and w police officials viewed his use of force. the university hired an outsideo investito come in and look at it. they found it was excessive and they try to discipline the ofcer, fire the officeand he appealed to the state personnel board. the state personnel board basically said it was police officials and said you didn't do anything wrong. so he followed the police chief who was chief at e university to los gatos and he's now a ice officer there. >> is not the only one. you broke another story involving a domestic violence poctim whose attacker, her boyfriend, was ce officer was repeatedly not arrested because of those connections to the force to the people who would be investigating these incidents. what do these cases tell yo broadly about how hard it is for an officer to real

presidents do a little more or less of that what is stunning is the degree to which the republicans and mr truong will challenge undermine threaten the whole world economy to get their little way in this next election which for them is make or break that's the extraordinary theater that's unfolding in front of us and peter same question centrally what is the state of federal reserve independence after today and does it matter. well i think it's always been a pretense at least it was created to be independent but it's actually acted as an arm of government and you know to the extent that we can no longer maintain that pretense that is a very dangerous position to be any don't but i agree with trub that the fed is doing a bad job but because they did rate keep raising rates rates are still much too low the fed needs to. raise interest rates the fed needs to allow this expansion to come to an end because it's unhealthy it's a bubble the fed has to let the stock market go down let the real estate market go down let the bond market go down and force the us government to cut spending that's what needs

address the nation the spin fierce opposition to the events with protesters and politicians accusing truong of politicizing the events well our white house correspondent kimberly orkut joins us now live from washington d.c. kimberly this is the sort of imagery one would normally associate with countries like north korea why is this type of military parades taking place in the u.s. . well there's no question the president trump has been fascinated ever since he visited and saw the best still celebrations in france see you sort of it was then that this idea sort of came to mind one that he's tried to implement one tall ready this time successfully so you know one can speculate that that is his source of inspiration but in terms of the controversy i think that is what is really the lightning rod for most americans this is typically been in a political holiday and now in a divided america this is yet another opportunity for those that support donald trump to showcase that and those that are part of the resistance movement that has been in place since his inauguration to voice their protest of h
