Good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. Hopes for an end to the rail misery thats affected hundreds of thousands of commuters in Southern England have been dashed.

For nearly a year, around 300,000 commuters have endured overcrowded trains, delays and strikes. Its been one of the most intractable rail disputes in recent years. Thanks everybody for coming.

Kate Bolduan gives a fresh take on todays top stories. Letting him ask about obstruction but doing so in written answers and limiting inperson questions to questions that dealt with things that events that happened before President Trump was inaugurated, focus on the potential collusion questions and nothing about obstruction of justice. All of these debates over whether they will sit down are going on while giuliani is saying President Trump does want to sit down with him, he is expressing interest. Its the legal team that has the reservations about that. This is happening while the president is continuing to lash out at the Special Counsel. Thats because the president believes he can sway Public Opinion to agree with him that this is a witch hunt and be on board this investigation has gone on too long, that its a witch hunt. Whether or not that pans out is up to the president s twitter feed and whether he can convince his supporters. Stand by to stand by. Great to see you. Thank you
The latest news from around the world with hosts John Berman and Poppy Harlow. The latest news from around the world with hosts John Berman and Poppy Harlow. A furjry trap. You have to be thinking the president has to be thinking well if i dont sit down with mueller at all and if i never grant this interview how do i go out there and explain to the American People i wouldnt do an interview even though i didnt do anything wrong. I think thats exactly right and part of the calculation that is creating such hesitancy on team trumps part about whether to sit down, two ways to look at this interview politically and legally. Politically as you point out it might make sense for the president to sit down. He could try to wrap up this investigation quicker, before the midterm elections potentially and tell the public look, i am cooperating like ive been saying im doing nothing wrong legally as the lawyers pointed out his lawyers feel like its a massive risk for the president. Legal experts ive
Ago, when the republican led by ten points. Joining me now, senior Political Correspondent from the hill, amie parnes. Good morning. Good morning. Lets talk about this. Youve seen the poll numbers. Early voting, i believe, is already under way in ohio, and looks like the democrats, at least number of ballots that have been cast so far, more democrats. So, how worried should republicans be . A little worried. I mean, donald trump won this area by 11 points. Republicans outnumbered democrats 21 over there. So i think this was sort of a safe seat for them. I think that it came as a big surprise that it was very close, but you know, oconnor, the democrat, has been really trying to make inroads in appealing to people who have been a little bit upset with the way the Trump Administration has handled policy, the tone and tenor of his administration. And so, hes really tried to
