Us special Counsel Robert Mueller has said that charging President Trump with a crime was not an option, but that his long inquiry into Russian Election interference did not exonerate the president. In his first Public Comments on the inquiry, mr mueller said legal guidelines prevent the indictment of a sitting president. President trump has responded by saying the case is closed. 0ur north america editor jon sopel reports. Morning. Washington is a city where people race to be in front of a microphone. But for two years, special Counsel Robert Mueller has chosen silence while he completed his report on russian interference in the 2016 president ial election. That changed dramatically today, when he almost flatly contradicted Donald Trumps assertion that hed been completely exonerated by the special counsel investigation. Listen to what he has to say on whether the president obstructed justice. If we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commita crime, we would have said so. We did not, however, make a determination as to whether the president did commit a crime. Under long Standing Department policy, a present president cannot be charged with a federal crime while he is in office. Until now, donald trump has repeatedly referred to the Mueller Investigation as a hoax and a witch hunt but on twitter today, a significant reframing. He said this afternoon, it was the turn of the president s press secretary to push the line of no collusion and no obstruction. In his tweet today, the president said there was insufficient evidence, therefore he is innocent. Is that the bar at which you set things . We set the bar at the fact that mueller spent two years doing an exhaustive investigation and came back to say that there was no wrongdoing by the Trump Campaign or any american. From Robert Mueller and donald trump, two totally different interpretations. Mueller effectively saying, look, we dont think hes innocent but we cant prosecute him. And from donald trump, theres insufficient evidence and therefore, its case closed. The white house would clearly love this to be the end of the episode. Theres no chance of that. And sure enough, muellers statement has fuelled democrat demands for impeachment proceedings to begin. With respect to impeachment questions at this point, all options are on the table and nothing should be ruled out. What special Counsel Robert Mueller said loud and clear today for the American People is that President Trump is lying when he says no collusion, no obstruction and that he was exonerated. Thank you, thank you for being here today. Today, Robert Mueller told the American People hes taken it as far as he can. Now, its up to congress. Does it dare try to impeach the president .

Israeli politicians have voted to dissolve parliament and hold a snap election, because the newlyafter the Prime Minister, benjamin netanyahu, failed to form a coalition. The september vote will be the second this year, an unprecedented event in israeli politics. Heres our middle east correspondent, tom bateman. Israeli mps have voted by a significant majority to dissolve the parliament, effectively sacking themselves after being elected into office only, what, six weeks ago. Now, this represents a serious political failure for the Prime Minister, benjamin netanyahu. He had attempted to build a right wing coalition. He needed more than 60 mps in parliament. But the issue at the heart of this was an old dispute between a Secular Party in his right wing and the ultra religious groups, both of whom he needed to form a majority. They have had a long running dispute over an issue of drafting ultra orthodox young men into the army. Mr netanyahu has been unable to hammer out an agreement and so, in what represents a serious crisis for his ten years in office, there will now be fresh elections in israel in september. This is the first time in modern israeli history that they have been two elections in one year. It represents a failure for the israeli Prime Minister, who is facing corruption charges later this year, allegations that he vehemently denies. But there is an idea that oppositions can feel his vulnerability, and so it appears they dug their heels in, some even looking to the post netanyahu era, whenever that may come, and feeling that now is the time for them to try to position themselves on particular issues that they feel attached to, and say to the Israeli Parliament that they can be the person who can succeed israels long standing leader. Emily hawthorne is a middle east analyst at the rand corporation. Shejoins me now from austin in texas. What do you make of this and what is most likely to happen next . This is whats interesting is that in three of the Corruption Cases Prime Minister netanyahu is facing, he is going to face a hearing in early october. The attorney general has been pretty clear that hes not going not budge on that date. That means these new Elections Come weeks before he is facing that hearing, so he will not be able to cobble together any sort of immunity legislation and that was part of the coalition discussions up to this point and possibly part of the reason why these coalition discussions have failed, because he was asking for some of the politicians in his coalition, or prospective coalition, to grant him immunity if he gave them positions in the government and it appears that gamble did not pay off for him.

It is eight years since the fu kushima nuclear disaster, injapan, when a tsunami triggered a huge explosion and partial meltdown at a nuclear plant. Making that plant completely safe could take up to 50 years and cost as much as 1 trillion. 0ur tokyo correspondent Rupert Wingfield hayes is one of the first foreign journalists to be taken inside the damaged reactor, as the operators mark a milestone in the clean up. The clean up of the towns in the countryside around fukushima has created millions and millions of tons of waste that has to be sorted and disposed of. And this is just some of it. Each one of these bags is filled with one ton of radioactive soil. There are 1,000 sites like this across fukushima. This is the moment reactor number three at fukushima exploded. It ejected a huge plume of Radioactive Material into the sky. The reactor building was left a mangled, radioactive wreck. Eight years on, a new structure has been built over the damaged reactor. 4,000 people are working to contain and clean up the disaster, and today, im going inside to see their progress. This is very strange, to be standing inside here, because this huge structure im standing inside is right on top of reactor building number three. And down underneath me here is the melted reactor core, inside this building. Over the top here, they have built this shield to lower the radiation levels, so that we can come up here, so that workers can come up here, to construct this. But radiation levels are still very high here, and because of that, we can only spend a few minutes here. Now, if you come over here, there is my alarm going off. This is the spent fuel pool, down inside here, more than 560 spent fuel assemblies. Spent fuel removal is now done by robotic crane. It is going to take three years to complete, but there are no plans to remove the melted reactor cores. Outside, the piles of contaminated soil are being moved. They are being buried in huge, plastic lined pits. So this is the lining . Yes. So youve got one, two, three, four, five. Yes. Five layers. So the really big difference between, for example, what happened in ukraine with the chernobyl disaster and what has happened here injapan with fukushima is that the japanese government has decided that this area has to be cleaned, and has to be restored, and it is a vast, vast operation that will take many decades to complete. But all of the material that is being cleaned up, all of the topsoil that is being removed, it has to be taken somewhere, and it is being brought here and it is going to be buried. And the quantities are just mind boggling. 14 million tons of waste material has been created so far. That all has to be buried underground. The pricetag is also astonishing. It could take 50 years and cost usi trillion.

Chelsea have beaten arsenal by 4 1 in the Europa League final in baku, azerbaijan. The build up to the match has been marred by ticketing and travel difficulties for fans having to travel nearly 4,000 km from london to baku. Sarah rainsford is there. Its the arsenal fans that have been coming out of here, streaming out of the stadium first tonight. This isnt the result they came all the way to baku hoping for. You can see it on their faces dejected, disappointed, angry, some of them, in fact, when we asked them about the result. Now, it was an extremely long journey for a london derby, arsenal and chelsea facing off here in the Olympic Stadium in baku. Almost 3,000 miles. For chelsea, obviously, it was worth it. This is victory. But what about the arsenal fans . Hey, have you got a second . Have you got have a second . Yeah, im gutted, completely. I mean, it was expensive enough getting here, and to see my team play that shambolically is just ridiculous. Was it worth coming all this way for . No. For azerbaijan, hosting big events like this one is a big deal. This is a country that wants to showcase itself to the world. But that does bring a sometimes uncomfortable spotlight on things like human rights here, and the big armenian question that conflict that meant that arsenals armenian midfielder said he didnt feel safe to come here. For these fans, though, the Big Questions have really been about logistics. Ive been on that train, that nearly killed me. 12 hours, tbilisi to baku. Its horrible. 12 hours nearly killed you. Were you in third class . I put my life on the line for chelsea. Its brilliant. And, after a pretty complicated, long and expensive journey to get here, the fans now have an equally long journey home. A mural by the artist banksy which was painted on the walls of a garage in wales has been moved, very carefully. Its new home is a museum, which will feature the artwork known as seasons greetings. Tomos morgan reports. As christmas descended on port talbot last year, so did banksy. A painting on one side of a young boy playing in what looks like snow but, on the other side, the piece shows the child is breathing fumes. But can it be moved intact . After sleepless nights and months of planning, the moment of truth has finally arrived, and the banksy is on the move. It has been quite the headache for engineers. Protective resins, wooden casings, and steel barriers have all been needed. Its been a slow process, as a crane slowly moved the garage corner onto a flatbed, before being transported through the centre of town. But seasons greetings has remained in perfect condition. I am so relieved, youve no idea. I said this morning i didnt see anything going wrong. Total faith in these guys doing the job, because they looked so professional to me. But accidents happen, things do happen. And now, here it is. Its in port talbot. Anybody can come and look at it easily. The aim is for the piece to be on full display to the public by the end of the week with a view to making seasons greetings new home into a museum of street art in the future. Tomos morgan, bbc news, port talbot. And, before we go, wed like to show you with these pictures of two rare white tiger cubs having a meal in their new home at the Nicaragua National zoo.

One thing were certainly not short of at the moment is cloud across the uk, and through today, it will tend to stick around in many areas and bring some rain into the north. By the weekend, though, im hopeful well see more in the way of sunshine, and were going to see things significantly warming up for some. More on that in just a moment. A lot of warm air coming in from the atlantic in the next few days, but its coming up to the south of this frontal system. That will mean a lot of cloud around, some more persistent rain across the northern half of the uk in the short term, as well. But by the weekend, High Pressure will start to push in from the south, thin the cloud, and allow more sunshine. Today, though, most of us are going to be stuck with fairly grey skies, and across the northern half of the uk, some more persistent rain as the day goes on. Heavy at times, possibly, for Northern Ireland, the south west of scotland, parts of the north west of england, maybe the far north west of wales, too. To the far north of scotland, some sunshine for the northern isles. To the south, some brighter skies to the lee of high ground. Breezy day across the board, particularly gusty around western coasts and across the hills, quite murky in the west as well. Just 11 degrees there in aberdeen, but up to 23 if we get some brightness across the south east of england. 0vernight thursday into friday, looking at more wet weather across the northern half of the uk, but hopefully the cloud to the south perhaps thinning and breaking a little as the hours go by. High pressure trying to squeeze its influence further north. Certainly a mild enough start to friday, but once again, you can see rain waiting to push into Northern Ireland and western scotland. And through the day, that frontal system continues to buckle to the north of the uk, so there will be more heavy downpours. To the south, the high is nearby, and that should allow the cloud to thin and break a little more, see a bit more in the way of sunshine, and temperatures creeping up across england and wales on friday, into the mid 20s. Milder for aberdeen, but still a lot of cloud around, and some rain, but the heaviest of the rain for Northern Ireland and western scotland. But, by saturday, that high throws its influence further north. We should see more in the way of widespread sunshine and a pretty warm day even across the northern half of the uk, but to the south, we could get up to 27 degrees celsius in the south east of england. A very short spike of a heatwave, though. By sunday, the weather picture starts to become quite showery across the uk, and that will see our temperatures beginning to slide away. Still a pretty pleasant day to come, though, on sunday. In the sunny spells, there will be some warmth around, turning much chillier, though, next week. This is bbc news, the headlines at least seven people have died on a cruise boat thats capsized on the river danube in the hungarian capital, budapest. There were at least 30 on board when it collided with another vessel and overturned. Its been confirmed the seven tourists who lost their lives were south korean nationals. Prominent democrats in the us congress are again calling for impeachment proceedings against President Trump, now special Counsel Robert Mueller has broken his silence on the russia investigation.
