Has Mueller Investigation Vindicated Trump? | Inside Story


It's been the biggest question for Donald Trump during his presidency so far – did he conspire with Russians to help get elected?

No he didn't. That's the result of the two-year investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller. But investigators can't give a definitive answer on whether the President obstructed justice or not.

Trump was quick to tweet: No Collusion, No Obstruction, Complete and Total EXONERATION. KEEP AMERICA GREAT! But leading Democrats say the summary of the report - by Attorney General William Barr - ‘raises as many questions as it answers’. They're demanding full access to what else the report says. But will that report be released?

Brussels Confirms Return of Border Checks under No-deal Brexit


THE GUARDIAN: British travellers will need to get passport stamped and may be asked about purpose of visit

British travellers will get a stamp in their passport every time they enter and leave the European Union in the event of a no-deal Brexit, the European commission has confirmed.

The announcement on border checks was revealed days after the British government secured a short extension that shifts the Brexit deadline to 12 April.

“The risk of a no-deal scenario is becoming increasingly likely,” an EU official said. The EU’s Brexit no-deal plans “cannot replicate the benefits of being an EU member” and were not “mini-deals or a negotiated no deal”, but unilateral measures to avoid disruption for the EU side, the official said.

In an information notice, the commission confirmed that in the event of a no-deal UK nationals would have the right to visa-free travel for short stays in the EU (90 days in any 180-day period), if the UK grants the same arrangement to citizens of all EU member states. “Your passport will be stamped both when you enter the EU and when you leave it, so that this period of 90 days, which is visa-free, can be calculated.”

British travellers would also lose access to the EU lane at border crossings, meaning longer queues.

In another return to the past, British travellers may be asked by border guards to provide information on the purpose of their visit and means of subsistence during their stay. Luggage would be subject to customs checks. » | Jennifer Rankin in Brussels | Monday, March 25, 2019

Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria in 1967. It's been an occupied territory ever since, in defiance of multiple UN resolutions. Now, in a tweet, Donald Trump's seems set to overturn the US position and recognise Israel's sovreignty over Golan Heights.

It's a move designed to boost the standing of the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, as he campaigns for re-election. But there's already been an international outcry. Some accuse President Trump of bringing the region close to war.

So what will be the consequences of Trump's latest policy bombshell?

«Hier wohnt ein Jude» –Antisemitismus grassiert nicht nur im Netz


NEUE ZÜRCHER ZEITUNG: Rechtsextreme und Muslime haben sich 2018 auf Twitter oder Facebook hundertfach judenfeindlich geäussert. Doch auch im realen Leben kommt es zu antisemitischen Übergriffen – selbst in der Armee.

Schweizer Juden würden das Parlament kontrollieren, die Medien, die Justiz und die Wirtschaft. Und: «Schweizer Juden sind krimineller als israelische Juden.» Es sind solche Aussagen auf Twitter, für die das Bezirksgericht Frauenfeld jüngst einen Palästinenser wegen antisemitischer Rassendiskriminierung verurteilt hat. Der IV-Bezüger ist einer von vielen, die sich im vergangenen Jahr judenfeindlich geäussert haben. Das zeigt der neue Antisemitismusbericht für die Deutschschweiz, den die Stiftung gegen Rassismus und Antisemitismus (GRA) und der Schweizerische Israelitische Gemeindebund (SIG) veröffentlicht haben. » | Simon Hehli | Donnerstag, 21.
