Congress itself has moved a step closer to impeaching President Donald Trump building on last months testimonies before the House Intelligence Committee the Judiciary Committee has held its 1st formal impeachment hearing fall legal experts discussed allegations trump abused his power by asking ukraine to investigate his political rival joe biden we begin our coverage with heidi castro. Found. Perjuring some of us constitutional scholars have weighed in in President Trumps ukraine scandal is an impeachable then nothing is and professor gary hart did President Trump commit the impeachable high crime in misdemeanor of abuse of power we 3 are unanimous yes the 3 law professors call by democrats running in unison alarm bells that the countrys democracy is under threat by the president s actions what has happened in the case today is something that i do not think we have ever seen before a president who has doubled down on violating his oath to faithfully execute the laws and to protect and defend the constitution this president has attacked each of the constitutions safeguards against establishing a monarchy in this country in the simplest possible terms the president put his personal game ahead of the National Security interest its better to be on t. V. Than by a whole. 4th scholar said if trump had tried to force ukraine to investigate a political rival in exchange for military aid it would be impeachable but the scholar wednesdays sole republican witness testified the case against trump has not been proven this would be the 1st impeachment in history where there would be considerable debate in my view not compelling evidence of the commission of a crime more than a dozen white house and state department professionals have testified that trump used the power of his office to pressure ukraine to open an investigation into joe biden a potential political rival in the upcoming us president ial election the House Intelligence Committee drafted a report saying there was overwhelming evidence for this including trumps own words in a phone call with the president of ukraine thats not politics as usual at least not in the United States or not in any mature democracy trump says the law professors called by democrats right. Resents the liberal left but he declined to testify himself and refused to send white House Attorneys to represent his case for in a sense what theyre doing is a very bad thing for our country its of no merit and the Republican Party has never been more unified ever trump is counting on republicans who control the senate to acquit him of wrongdoing in an eventual impeachment trial. Castro aljazeera washington all speaking after the hearing the chairman of the house Judiciary Committee democrat jerry nadler the evidence presented so far is overwhelming this situation meets or 3 test the president committed impeachable offenses they were important impeachable offenses they go to the constitute the heart of our Constitutional Republic they threaten the survival of democracy itself in the integrity of free elections and a majority of the people and of the end of the house i believe i understand that. But the Top Republican on the committee doug collins says the facts are on their side when you talk about facts being undisputed these facts are disputed not just disputed theyre actually contradicted so we have no problem final subs this president did nothing wrong there was nothing that we found as impeachable he did not do anything wrong so ive said all along its easy for us to make the arm up because the process is terrible and the facts are on our side how he lets me in is a former u. S. Justice Department Official and the host of talking feds podcast i spoke to him earlier and i asked him what happens next. I think things were divided along partisan lines in the clinton impeachment but everybody understood the facts and the need to confront but here only one side seems to see this as important and grave how how will it proceed from here i expect you know its just along party lines as it did for during the overwhelming presentation of facts before the Intelligence Committee and the republicans i think are telegraphing their content to make it a procedural circus and not to take it seriously and if they do it that way and particularly in the senate the democrats efforts to make it a serious National Sort of civics discussion are limited.

The nato summit has ended with leaders uniting behind common commitments despite the meeting highlighting bitter divisions leaders agreed on issues like russia and china and settled a major stumbling block when turkey dropped its objection to nato baltic defense plan but behind the display of unity cracks were showing as jonah hole reports from what ive heard just north of london so good morning i think were ready to start if you can find your seats this gathering of nato leaders had one objective a show of unity to mark 70 years of the worlds most successful military alliance one for all and all for one instead it was a public display of differences that began the day before on tuesday u. S. President donald trump was on the combative form number one point from his not only will macron on nato strategy budget payments and trumps unilateral withdrawal of u. S. Troops from Northern Syria this way. There is more of the various party years ago.

To be about something or their budgetary and Financial Issues or this particular lot of thought if the voices of reassurance were left sounding a bit thin. Always been able to overcome these differences and then unite around the record tossed to protect the Founding Fathers and thats exactly what to do today the question it all raises is central to what nato is and what it exists for what happens to an alliance built on collective defense when that collective commitment that spirit of unity isnt just solid as some would like it to be nato member turkeys president richard tired earlier on earlier demanded that the kurds abandoned by trump in Northern Syria be recognized as what he called terrorists or hed veto Alliance Efforts to bolster eastern defenses against russia this was a threat that represented a fracturing of natos central accord is what trump and macron do seem to agree on but many others dont that russia is no longer the enemy it was and while nato is focus has widened to include china Cyber Security hybrid warfare the alliance cant hide from the difficult truth that multiple challenges mean multiple conflicting interests undermining the unity theyd come here to celebrate going to aljazeera at watford north london Robert Peston is a former Us Ambassador to turkey he says leaders made commendable steps to resolving some of the problems but issues still remain especially with turkey. I think that the worst hasnt happened but the best hasnt happened either so the problem still remains turkey danish they are more is required from nato about what it perceives as its threat on the southern border and allies are concerned at turkeys action in northeast syria in the last month and more to march as actually d met a this situation worse and has aided the russians and surprised other countries and so i think that there is a lot of work to be done and i think theres a lot of suspicion of turkeys long term motives the Eastern Mediterranean security picture is worse than its been and the time that nato it was created so they get a lot of work to be done there in turkey owes more than just sawing a problem here and they are.

Embassy in sudan he says the move goes well beyond a symbolic gesture but the details of the plan need to be worked out. Its a very significant decision its been 23 years since we have had an ambassador and khartoum we have kept the embassy open weve got a sharp deaf ear in khartoum all of those years but not having an ambassador sends a major signal to our government that we have real concerns about it this is an indication that the United States wants to be more supportive of this new combination of military civilian government in sudan and this is the 1st step in what will probably be a series of steps to improve relations assuming that progress continues to be made on the sidneys side 1st off this is only a decision to fill the post and no one has been named and theres no indication of how long it will take to name someone i assume that this will be a Career Foreign Service officer who will fill that position but then it to has to require it require Senate Confirmation there may be some reluctance on the capitol hill to to go forward with this i dont think it will be as serious reluctance but you never know there there may be a desire to hold back sending an ambassador to syria and i hope that does not happen this is a decision that frankly is long overdue.

Talk about youre watching officers news with me said holroyd to remind of our top story legal experts invited by u. S.

And summer is all about him aspects. Nation program in an attempt to stem is fast growing measles crisis 62 people have died from the disease with more than 150 new cases every day. More on our top story of the hearings into whether to impeach President Trump Chris Eagleton is the assistant professor of government at the school of Public Affairs at the American University and he joins me now from washington d. C. Good to have you with us on the program so lets begin with the statements made outside to the press corps after sort of the 1st day of hearings at the house Judiciary Committee each side really setting up their stall for the public wouldnt you say well yes but its important no this is not an ordinary proceeding i think professor carlin said it well whether what the president allege of done strikes at the heart of our democracy and our elections and really if it isnt stopped the integrity of our elections will be undermined this is a really critical moment for our democracy so is there a benefit then to these proceedings been rushed through or dragged out to either or both parties. Well i wouldnt say theyre being rushed through there have been weeks of hearings i think about 2 months now the investigations are going on a 3 page report was just released yesterday but i think most importantly this is an emergency what the president is alleged to have done and for all we know hes continuing it hes made public statements that effect is to attack the election thats going on right now our campaign has already begun the 2020 election you cant wait its an emergency and in a functioning system the republicans would stand with the democrats to defend our elections what were seeing here is a failed system and really what i was struck by as i was watching the hearings today is 2 years from now 5 years from now it might not be possible to have hearings like this in the United States anymore because our democracy is really badly at risk and may not survive many analysts have their own opinions about whether the democracy is badly at risk or is ok i mean how does this actually resonate in your opinion with the public i mean other hearings now attracting their attention or will they only really attract attention once you might say they get to the set it to we expect some sort of debate in the senate eventually its hard to say i mean polling shows that the rules recent polling ive shown is 40 percent of the public thinks the president should be impeached and 43 percent says no i dont know how closely people are following people are pretty divided but again what should happen here is republicans should say this is not a partisan issue as republicans did in 1074 the president nixon this goes beyond partisanship if president can do this democratic president s can do this republican president s can do in the future it will mean that any president can ask Foreign Countries to attack our election that cant be thats not compatible with a democracy so what happens and really when republican representatives on the committee very clear as they were today that they felt they didnt get as much of a chance to have their say they are adamant that they will get their say is it a psychological way to say to that they support that the democrats are playing dirty. Theyre not acting in good faith im sorry to say that its not a partisan observation doesnt have to do with republicans or democrats theres no way to defend what the president has done its there in black and white weve seen the transcript of his call july 25th call when he says i need a favor from ukraine as hes talking about delivering military aid to the witnesses testified to the same think investors on that said there was a quid pro quo other witnesses testify that they saw the quid pro quo theres no way to defend this republicans are hoping and i think theyll succeed that they can simply play this out and as you say keep the peace with the president the place is with him no matter what and sorry to say its more like a cult than a regular Political Party at this point and i think theyll succeed and i think the only way to stop this president will be the election in 2020 the very election that he is attacking in terms of the proceedings over the next few days and weeks chris what should we be looking for or keeping it close to the ground as to the way the situation could change or could pivot one way or the other. So the important thing will be will republicans move will republicans take action right now theres no evidence that they will. But one hopes are well i guess one waits every day to say if that will happen i say one hopes because if you support a constitutional democracy that must happen i see no evidence right now but of course thats what ill wait for and the key question will be in the senate you need to get 20 republicans to support impeachment to remove the president from office right now i see no evidence that will happen but i would certainly watch for that thats the key question obviously what does happen chris thanks very much for your insight chris and there in washington d. C. Thank you. Israel is planning to build a new settlement in hebron the largest city in the occupied west bank the area is considered sacred by both muslims and jews the illegal settlements in occupied palestinian territories have been one of the most contentious issues in the conflict between 167 and 2017 israel built more than 200 illegal settlements in the occupied west bank and their jurisdiction goes far beyond the homes and estimated 620000 israelis live in these illegal settlements its also built several enclaves in palestinian neighborhoods in occupied East Jerusalem home to more than 215000 Israeli Settlers the settlements violate International Law and large numbers of israelis living in occupied territories complicate efforts to establish a palestinian state our correspondent in one car reports from the divided city of hebron this was once a fertile farmland on palestinian territory providing homes and livelihoods for the villagers now its an Israeli Military protected construction site linking it to settlements illegal under International Law the construction has divided the palestinian village a bit all marked in a half well its completed the villages wont be able to reach their land on the other side of the bypass road legally that land still belongs to the palestinian villages practically speaking there will be no way they can farm it if they cannot reach it around the island with it when i realize my land had gone and pain my chest i inherited this land from my father as he did from hes an overnight has gun i wanted to give it to my children but instead we became like an fijis with our property these really ultra g. s of offer compensation but thats been rejected by the palestinians the construction is going full speed ahead despite a palestinian challenge in an Israeli Court to stop it the case is ongoing. Improving and linking the settlements as part of an israeli policy aimed at encouraging its citizens to move to the occupied west bank however its often the palestinians that pay the price when land is confiscated and split by the settlements. Nowhere is it more evident than in the divided on city of hebron where palestinian leader. There are calls now by israeli politicians to bulldoze market and build houses for a new wave of Israeli Settlers the markets remained empty since the mid ninetys when israeli settler killed 29. 00 palestinians and the Israeli Government forced the remaining palestinians to leave the area some jewish families claim ownership of the market going back to 929 colors of why she owns one of the shops in the market place this is as close as hes allowed to get to it by the israeli army. I think its going to get worse for him today they want to take the market tomorrow they will take over nearby streets and then what perhaps they will take over more properties nothing seems to stop this Israeli Government if this market place is destroyed and more homes for settlers are built it will already divide this very fractured city now there are some 800 settlers here in the city back to by the israeli army and they dominate the lives of about 250000 palestinians m.
