A tighter preelection media regulation blaming you to bloggers for her partys heavy losses in the new parliament. So why rule should apply for Digital Content these are to. Need to discuss not. Media policy as a whole in the future. Of broadcasting live from our studios in moscow these days are International Thomas with us. U. S. Special counsel Robert Muller has for the 1st time commented publicly on the trump russia investigation. And has more. 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 Muller 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 stands 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 we do stick 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 millers statement makes clear with those who have read his report no its an impeachment referral and its 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 president ial 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 Trumps 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 dont question the attorney generals good faith in the 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 closer now 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. Legal and media analyst lionel gave us his own take on the mahlers statement the justice department. The interesting thing to note is one of the reasons why many suspect he doesnt 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 what heres another question for you if you cant end dive here 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 they 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 russian collusion explain this more. Representatives of the venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro and Opposition Leader have agreed to meet for talks in norway next week they will be trying to find a way out of the countrys political crisis but the us is insisting that only one solution can work. As we have repeatedly stated we believe the only thing to negotiate with nicholas maturer is the conditions of his departure the return to the negotiating table comes despite the oppositions initial reluctance to participate why dose self proclamation of power was supported by a consistent and hawkish stance among western leaders over the last 4 months or to see goshdarn comments on the power struggle. I thought we were only going to pick i swear to formally assume the duties of the National Executive as president of venezuela i and that was how it all began a long and porthole road to the chaos and mayhem venezuelas in today it wants nice local politician overnight short into political stardom and with the u. S. On his side it seemed one why dont you simply couldnt lose. Im 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 were going to go as venezuelas president one wide or 1. 11 door in europe where you go you know when global venezuela began to devour itself from the inside too on by protests 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 tip the balance of power in favor over their man why dont 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 not a pretty beach rather than being in some other beach area like guantanamo an unconventional holiday but among the mildest ideas in americas rhetoric all options are on the job 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 much dural the incumbent leader was willing to go all in conventional to trying to articulate his readiness to talk it out with his new rival program if you go i am committed to International Dialogue today tomorrow and always im committed and personally ready but back then why do it was feeling too good to graces arch nemesis confronted with the blatant refusal 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 washingtons efforts to encourage defection. The president imposter tried to make it look like things were going his way out of the armed forces are standing behind the people and the constitution but very soon hes voce tool overstatement was clear decisions were sporadic local and way below the Critical Mass needed to have a dura worried and all that leads us here to a complete stalemate why dont 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 office and 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 doesnt elect president s meanwhile some in washington are seeking a more aggressive approach to venezuela crisis senator Lindsey Graham recently invoked the invasion of grenada in 1983 which was widely viewed as illegal to make the case for intervention in venezuela. 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 at they dont i would let the bit of soil and military know you got to choose between democracy and the doura and if you choose my door and cuba were coming after you. 36 years ago president reagan sent forces into grenada under the pretext of protecting american citizens from the caribbean nations marxist leadership within a few days operation urgent fury overthrew the government which was allied with cuba however there are crucial differences between venezuela today and the grenada in the eightys the island nation of grenada is much smaller than venezuela making it easier to access and control in 1903 its population was 96000 venezuela is home to 32000000 back then us deployed around 6000 troops according to some estimates a u. S. Military intervention in venezuela today would require 150000 soldiers human rights lawyer and author damn. Well he told us that invasion would be disastrous. The idea that the u. S. Is going to be able to knock off 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 protracted 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 gots if the u. S. Got something to her another vietnam time warp it would cause deaths of course the u. S. Personnel would cost trillions of dollars and treasury in many cause a rebellion within United States against the government as we saw during the vietnam war so its a very very risky proposition for the u. S. To be in this. The embattled israeli Prime Minister has run out of time to form a new government following his recent election victory after the deadline passed parliament voted to dissolve itself and hold a new election in september or due course. As the latest. Now this is the 1st time in the history of israel that you have a sonar when an election was held in the previous election was held on april the 9th and it was won by the incumbent Prime MinisterBenjamin 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 who needed a majority of 61. 00 out of 120. 00 Parliament Seats and he was only able to get 60 with out liebermans support lieberman had another 5 seats but the 2 clashed over the whole issue of whether or not ultraorthodox jews should be forced to go to the army at the moment they are exams and lieberman was pushing 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 dont want to see these young men sort of in on the the greedy 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 were hearing from the treasury that it will cost 120000000. 00 for these elections to be held in addition there will be more than 1000000000. 00 loss to the economy because youll be having another Public Holiday also with mentioning that on thursday netanyahu is slated to meet with general now the Senior Advisor to. American President Donald Trump is in the country to try and push forward his much touted his being trumps much touted peace plan and he was meeting with netanyahu on the presumption that netanyahu is going to be Prime Minister so its going to be very interesting to see how that plays out because of course now hes meeting with someone who essentially is not guaranteed of the premiership and what are the implications of that for those socalled deal of the century is trying to keep saying moving forward. At least 7 people have drowned after a tourist boat capsized in the capital budapest the boat sank after colliding with another vessel at around 9 pm local time on wednesday evening most of those on board were south korean tourists and the countrys Foreign Ministry has said 1000 of its citizens are missing according to state television there were 35 people on the boat including 2 crewmembers at least 20 people are unaccounted for and of the search and rescue operation is ongoing. Ahead of germanys ruling party is facing a major backlash for suggesting there should be measures to control political discussion online more than 50000. 00 people have signed a petition against what they claim are plans for censorship but is make a promise we lost among young voters for 2 reasons we failed to radically address issues that are important to them and we feel due to the handling of the raza radio where would happen if 70 newspapers decided just 2 days before the election to make a joint appeal dont 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 democrats unions heavy loss on sunday. So does is. The Current System is destructive actually just might democratic. Vote for the s. P. D. Please dont vote for it seems he and please dont vote for the. We ask you will not to support the c. D. U. C. S. U. And. Kind of ended up doing to vote for any politician who doesnt operate on logic or signs and isnt course to destroy. The c. D. U. Leaders statement infuriated a rival parties 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 maintaining relations with tech savvy young people is crucial. All young people are searching for how can we develop a society they way they want. To participate in the decision process in this society into the movement of all fridays of the future about this rather than the internet like race or end up us is a product off to search for or participation in society for the prospect of a future and the last the political mainstream. Able to create discourse its 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 will start to organize themselves and the more they move. So much from different frames spread they can cross a great. Revelations in a documentary that exposed to child sex abuse in polands Roman Catholic church has 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 crowd. Finally the peta followers in black cloaks will face justice make more movies like this one which discloses the deception of the church big respect everyone who decided to be a part of this film artists tell about their horrible experience without the camera the Catholic Church doesnt lead people to god it just makes them run away from him. The governing polish law and Justice Party has also reacted to the films revelations pledging to confront the problem of clerical abuse its a 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 some of using the situation to attack and undermine the church as a whole adding that there is no poland without the Church People in warsaw give us their reaction to the story. Everyone has the right to express their opinion but i think need to be more careful with their what its not just a matter of individual offend the crimes were covered up these things were known to be the Church Authorities just upset the way they moved the offenders from parish to parish is horrendous there should be real punishment me losing the position in church is not punishment justice must be. A simple its hard to say maybe kaczynski want to say it was an attack on christian values he is partly right its like living in an apartment and closing the rise to the neighbors pathological family and when a tragedy happens everyone wakes up but if you react you can prevent a tragedy you have to fight against those who did generates for you 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. Or the bush you know the church needs to be kept separate from politics that will solve the problem with. The un is raising the alarm over child malnutrition and war ravaged afghanistan they say they are not enough funds to help the millions of children in need of urgent comes as u. S. Troops mark a near 20 year presence in the country. There are 2000000 children in the country which suffer from acute malnutrition and among them 600000 children that suffer from severe acute malnutrition a child that suffer from severe can understand it a child that needs urgent treatment otherwise it might die. Down. We are the own sort provider off treatment for typically at the nutrition if we dont have money to buy this treatment the severely atman mandarin rift will not get it. Fortunately again i stand as a country where severe malnutrition is a high level the main reasons are gratian poverty dont work polluted Drinking Water substandard food and an educated mother. We also spoke to unicefs communications chief for afghanistan who says it is children who suffer most in times of conflict. This week are all 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 he said imagine see and it needs to be put on the National Agenda and thats why we need to the attention of everybody together with the government and partners that this is a crisis and urgent attention and we call on all parties to the conflict or one in factions to teach not that the impact of. Meet. My children and that some local children should not be caught any conflict in any country. The Russian Foreign minister has condemned the recent police raids on serb areas in the breakaway region of kosovo calling them a provocation Sergey Lavrov said the standoff is being encouraged by people who want to create a rift between russia and nato in the balkans with serbia put its forces on high alert after tuesdays cooperation in kosovo which it considers to be its own territory belgrade warned that it will react swiftly if kosovo serbs are threatened by local forces however local authorities claim that the operation was aimed only at tracking organized crime 2 u. N. Employees were detained during the raids including one Russian National who was later released and serbia lost control. After over kosovo after a nato intervention in 1909 and refuses to recognize its 2008 declaration of independence serbia look journalist drawbridge told us kosovos justification of the raids makes no sense. The Police Forces of the socalled republic have characterized the events as an ordinary operation but the question is what is an ordinary operational for us 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 socalled republic of course of all 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 dont think there is more to hope 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 any story one is i would see a change of tone used to describe serious position of course for war and natasha the president sent and ill quote that serbia needs to accept that he has lost control over kosovo when he must seek a compromise to normalize ties with. 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 the way the talking in this manner on a state as important as Serbian Parliament is the. Country will not cave in to u. S. Demands to renegotiate the iran nuclear deal. United states pulled out of the pact last year and reintroduced sanctions against iran relations have been in a downward spiral since then the us recently sent bomber planes an Aircraft Carrier strike group and 1500. 00 troops to the Persian Gulf Region citing an alleged threat from iran and on wednesday irans Deputy Foreign minister abbas. Warned that hawkish elements in the trumpet ministration are pushing the 2 countries to the brink of war russias Deputy Foreign minister sergei of spoke to r. T. About the ongoing tensions and his talks in tehran with of us a lot. Of what we could this is its been a year since the United States quit the joint comprehensive action plan during this time irans compliance with the way has been impeccable but iran lost the benefits of his participation in the deal particularly the economic benefits as a result the iranian leadership announced a partial suspension of the obligations it had taken on voluntarily when it signed up to the agreement we are sympathetic to this policy and today i discussed with my colleague a bass arachchi what specific future actions could be taken we believe that irans proposal to conclude a multilateral nonaggression pact in the Persian Gulf Region is very timely we discussed that today this idea is consistent with the Russian Initiative to develop new measures to strengthen security in the persian gulf we repeat addressing our colleagues and friends that these suggestions are on the table and we are ready to implement them success in these areas will im sure help save the chase c. P. O. A President Trumps recent comments on the importance of dialogue a certainly welcome we always in favor of dialogue the question is whether our american colleagues are ready to come up with a constructive agenda and workable proposals for iran as for irans of its concluded nonaggression pact we welcome this is well it is exactly what is needed now and is at least part of the solution.
