The pair earned the Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting for the story that got them jailed. Inside in a prison and also around the world, people who are wishing to release us, so i would like to say thank you very much for everything. Im really happy, excited to see my family and colleagues. I cant wait to go to my newsroom. [ applause ] reuters newsroom as you can see there in singapore erupting. Cheers as journalists watched their colleagues leaving prison, and now heres some new footage of the two journalists being reunited with the families just a short time ago. Imagine that reunion. The president of myanmar has pardoned thousands of other prisoners in mass amnesties, customary around the traditional new year. Steven adler described the two men as courageous reporters and symbols of the importance of press freedom around the world. His daughter was born while he was in prison, simply for telling the truth. Major show downs between House Democrats and the Trump Administration looming on three fronts, first, the president s tax returns. Treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin saying he will not hand them over despite the risk of a subpoena. Its latest move by Administration Officials to shield the president and aides from a wide range of inquiries from the tax returns to a demand for testimony about the census and immigration. The second front of possible contempt of congress. House judiciary chairman has confirmed Committee Staff and justice officials will meet today to try and reach a deal on congressional access to the Mueller Report, and if they cant, a vote to hold bill barr in contempt is planned tomorrow. The committees Top Republican calls the vote illogical and disingenuous. It is deadline day for don mcgahn. The white House Counsel has comply with house judiciary details. The white house has signalled it might try to invoke executive privilege to keep mcgahn quiet. Hundreds of former federal prosecutors say President Trump would have been indicted if he were not president. The Bipartisan Group of more than 450 signed on to a statement saying special counsel Robert Muellers findings would have produced obstruction charges against citizen trump. The statement offers a rebuttal of sorts to the attorney generals evidence uncovered in the Mueller Report was quote not sufficient. The exprosecutors say we emphasize these are not close judgment but to look at these facts saying a prosecutor would not produce a conviction of obstruction of justice, runs contrary to experience. The letter did not express what, if anything, they hope would happen next. President trumps trade Officials Say trumps tariff threat is real. Treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin and trade representative Robert Lighthizer said the administration would be moving forward on the president s threat to hike tariffs on 20 200 billion of chinese goods up to 25 on friday. China went back on previous agreements during the latest round of trade talks, derailing months of progress toward ending a damaging trade war. Lighthizer said we tried to accommodate changes in the text but these are substantial and substantiative changes. The news comes as the chinese delegation is scheduled to travel to washington and new this morning, Chinas Commerce Ministry said vice premier liu he will be in d. C. For the 11th round of talks. China responding to the president s tariffs threat saying raising tariffs wouldnt resolve any issue. Markets around the world reacting to the president s threat. The dow fell as many as 471 points but then stocks made a major recovery off the lows, the dow down just 66 points. Global markets are mixed digesting all of this, and on wall street, futures are slightly lower. I would call mondays losses shallow here and that might say a couple of things. Either the market doesnt believe the president would scuttle trade talks or investors believe his tough talk might get significant concessions from the chinese. Specific and Credible Threats from iran led to the deployment of a u. S. Carrier strike group in the strait of h harmuz, Iranian Forces are targeting American Forces in syria, iraq and at sea. Nic robertson monitoring this live from london. Nick, good morning. Good morning, serious and credible. If we listen to what secretary of state mike pompeo said when he was in finland this cancelled summit, its instructive if you listen to his words here, we have continued to see activity, continued past tense, and believe an escalation may be taking place. May be taking place. He goes on to say he wants the United States to have the right range of options for the president should a situation arise where action needs to be taken, so this needs to be in part a degree of uncertainty, the mays and past tense and being prepared for what the president may want. Nevertheless, the message to iran is very clear. He was asked whether or not the u. S. Troops in iraq were in danger, and he implied the possibility of u. S. Forces anywhere in the middle east could be in danger. All of this is about, he said, trying to get iran to behave like a normal country. We have been trying to do is to get iran to behave like a normal nation, things like not conducting assassination campaigns around the world, not sponsoring terror organizations. Our objective is to get them to behave like a normal nation. When they do, we will welcome them back. Reporter all of this potentially again strains the relationship between the United States and its european allies. Just over the weekend, the United States withdrew waivers, President Trump announces were withdrawing waivers for countries buying oil from iran. Britain, france, germany, and the european foreign union put their Foreign Ministers together, sent a letter to the United States noting their concern about it. They will also be concerned to see the Carrier Group moving into the region. They know the potential for what that could mean and perhaps theyre also not sure about what this credible threat really is. Some reports suggest president rohani might address a broadcast. Stay tuned. Nic robertson live, thank you.
