And nigerian president Muhammadu Buhari is sworn in for a 2nd and final term the 76 year old one reelection in february but many young nigerians are not convinced that he is the right choice. Im sumi so much going to thank you for joining us we start with special counsel Robert Mullers 1st Public Statement on his 2 year investigation into russian interference in the 2016 u. S. Election miller has said that his report does not exonerate the president speaking in washington or said that if he had been confident the president did not. Commit a crime his report would have thought so he also said that his investigation did find that russia attempted to interfere in the election miller also appeared to rule out testifying before congress saying that his testimony was contained in the investigations report and that he had nothing to add interference in the 26 Team President ial lets bring in our washington correspondent oliver salat whos been following this story for us hi oliver this is a moment a lot of people have been waiting for the rubber miller breaks his silence so tell us more about what he has been saying ride so moment that a lot of people have been waiting for in a dramatic moment in fact it was the 1st time since robert as smaller launched the investigation on the russian interference in the 2016 election that he actually addressed the public that he actually felt the need to step out and the liver a statement on his take off the findings there are a lot of reports about them on the report that was published in april with 400. 00 pages and wander over to a smaller set today can be considered a setback for the u. S. President as well for the attorney general we all remember donald trump has always called these investigations and legal which runs he said there was complete and total exoneration for him and that can be a challenge today after all but as mahlers statement he essentially made clear today that that the president cannot be charged while in office that was certainly something that we knew before but he also made clear that he did not exonerate him and that he only did not indict him because he later cannot be charged so if you want to read between the lines robert a smaller essentially says that if you could have indicted the president he would have done the but lets listen to what he had to say and as set forth in the report after that investigation if we had 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. It explains that under Longstanding Department policy a president president cannot be charged with a federal crime while he is in office that is unconstitutional even if the charge is kept under seal and hidden from public view that too is prohibited the special counsels office is part of the department of justice and by regulation it was bound by that Department Policy charging the president with a crime was therefore not an option we could consider all right oliver how is the president responded to the statement from Robert Mueller or the and trump in his fashion as we know it has taken to twitter immediately 2 after that statement and here it seems he is trying to spin that in his favor as to what you wrote is nothing changes from them on the reports there was insufficient evidence and therefore in our country a person is in a sense thank you so Jerry Mathers or the head of the Judiciary Committee then came out at a press conference as well and he said whenever the president from now on is talking about him being exonerated he is actually lying he repeated that moller did not exonerate him he said that of struction is a serious crime and that its up to congress knowledge to deal with the findings what is Congress Going to do has this restarted talks about a possible impeachment. Well these talks have been going on for weeks and they became louder in recent weeks especially after the white house has blocked certain subpoena was triggering 5 a legal legal battle in fact between congress and the wide tells of the problem that the democrats are having right now is that a majority of the americans actually not supporting impeachment proceedings against the u. S. President so what they have to decide right now is whether they want to move on with something they find his rights or whether they want to rather look at the 2020 Election Campaign that is getting closer but of course especially after todays statement of robert s. Smaller impeachment is becoming more likely our correspondent all over sell it in washington thank you very much now to the multibillion dollar lawsuit over the u. S.

As europes leaders took their seats at a summit in brussels there was little to suggest that anything was wrong. But after last weeks elections to the European Parliament in which both the center right and center left parties lost seats the Political Climate here is changing and so too are the jobs. The biggest question is who will replace this man. Is the president of the e. U. Commission and soon to step down. And these are the front runners for the post theyve been nominated by the political groups in the European Parliament. Good evening we can bring the whole strength of europe over your base german chancellor Angela Merkel has put her weight behind german m. E. P.

If you dont affect you there is a kind of missed opportunity between france and germany the germans were at one point more european than the french theres too much of an economic discrepancy between france and germany germany is the 1st economic power in europe so europe is less vital for germany than it is for france and thats quite sad. Its now down to another evil chief donald to ask to try to come up with an acceptable nominee for the next Commission President but with germany and france at odds over the process this wont be an easy task.
