Comments that we heard from the attorney general who heads up the Justice Department william barr in recent weeks something thats been echoed by Donald Trumps campaign and that is that they believe that Donald Trumps campaign had been spied upon that they believe the Justice Department under the Obama Administration had been weaponized and well there is pushback on the investigation further investigation into the president what they do support is investigation of whether or not his campaign had been spied upon somewhat unlawfully so whats again it does appear that the political gridlock that has gripped this country for years is set to continue or as i can be held at the White House Committee thank you its beginning to think its time to the director of the sense of the ethics the rule of law at the university of Pennsylvania Law School and joins us live from philadelphia pled good to have you back on the Program President trump tweeted theres no change the mother report is the end of the story in the case is closed but thats not strictly true as we heard there from jerry not. Well one when one of the suspects himself in the report says that the case is closed to certainly not entitled to much weight and i think that Robert Mueller statements today were really intended to throw this back to congress and to say number one i did not exonerate the president i was able to hold him criminally liable or to indict him because of Justice Department policy but that does mean does not mean that he cannot be investigated and more over that there is a method that is provided by the constitution and that is for congress to investigate for congress to take action so there is a suggestion that. When the report did not exonerate the president notably either with regard to collusion or with regard to obstruction of justice and that the report as he kept saying speaks for itself that congress ought to be taking up the facts in the report and delving deeply into them and addressing them as constitutionally permitted and required and what do you make of the point that Robert Muller made the department of justice had these guidelines that says a sitting president cant be charged a crime when it would be unconstitutional but legal experts already saying they cant recall it being unconstitutional whats your take on it. Its very important to understand the office of Legal Counsel that issued this memo is intended to be an Advisory Office it does not make law so they have vies the rest of the Justice Department and they advise the president about the law but we have many instances in which that office has issued memos that were later recall the Justice Department is bound by the office of Legal Counsel memos but no one else is bound by those memos now in my opinion it is not a legally correct conclusion that a sitting president cannot be indicted because we have lots of instances in which a sitting president has been within the reach of law such as the fact that we know a sitting president can be forced to testify and we know that from bill clintons case but nevertheless Robert Muller decided that he was bound by that precedent as very understandably he felt he was it really puts the lie of though to the attorney generals statements that immediately following the release of the report that Robert Mueller did not and will recommend the indictment of the president on substantive grounds in fact Robert Mueller made very clear it was not substantive grounds at all to think this don thank you very much indeed for talking to al jazeera. Qatars Prime Ministers are expected to attend a Security Summit in saudi arabia on thursday but the first high level meeting since cattles neighbors impose their blockade two years ago she had been asked the bin honey thani is joining diplomats from saudi arabia the u. A. E. Bihari and other countries in mecca the summit said specter to focus on Regional Security issues including tensions between iran and the us invitation to catalyze leaders suggest the blockade in countries may be softening their stance against. Neighbors cant diplomatic ties and impose their economic blockade two years ago next week the blockade in countries include saudi arabia the United Arab Emirates bahrain egypt and others they accuse qatar of supporting terrorism in the region and made a series of demands to end the crisis qatars leaders have always strongly denied the accusations were bashar a is al jazeera senior political analyst and joins us live now from london so just talk to us about cats are and what qatars involvement is in these in these three meetings in saudi arabia marwan. Well look very cvs invitation once and twice and this time they decided to attend its an important beginning its an important step towards perhaps some sort of reconciliation of sort but certainly its important because there is a gulf summit and qatar is an important member of that Regional Council called the you know the gulf the gulf council and its important to attend because they were invited and because apparently so the arabia and its such a light countries the United Arab Emirates and bahrain have basically run out of ammunition if you will and certainly after two years of stalemate theyre poor it gets qatar has basically failed and now everyone is trying to. See if there are new scenarios new options to. Explore. I think the three summits specially the arab and gulf summit stick in place there i think its important that in and to see what if things go amala lets talk about iran because iran will undoubtedly be front and center in all these discussions in those three big meetings that you just talked about is it a unified position on iran amongst arab leaders and if not really achieve any consensus on iran. There are there is no consensus among arab and islamic countries on iran certainly not behind the so would you position on iran meaning i think everyone now especially after the us than thrum himself said that he doesnt want the regime change in iran and and that the United States only seeking to. Block iran from. Developing Nuclear Weapons as he put it as if the two thousand and thirteen in our nuclear deal does not do that but be that as it may i think the saudi arabia wants today arab and muslim countries to support it after the last few incidents in and out a persian gulf whereby there will be an arab and a muslim position that states iran needs to you know behave well if you will not interfere in its regional and its regional in within the region or within neighboring states and so on and so forth now its clear that there are a whole host of other very very important priorities in this region such as the war that is going on in libya apparently with that thats that support of saudi arabia in the United Arab Emirates theres the war in yemen thats going on in its fourth year there certainly as we said the gulf crisis but theres also the wholesale confiscation of arab and palestinian lands by israel ok theres the ongoing war in syria so really theres lots on the agenda just a final point from you touched on it briefly there what about the socalled deal of the century thats supposed to bring peace in our time between is when the palestinians we know that Jordans King Abdullah has been talking whats he been saying. Well certainly jordan doesnt want to be the so called of. Land for the for the Palestinian People now that theyre americans are making their position clear that they do not want a two state solution in independence but a city and state so i think what we going to need to Pay Attention for the next forty eight hours is one what were the jordanian. King say but i think more importantly what will depend a syrian president say when he put the participants on notice that anyone that participates at the end of june and about her reign workshop in support of the deal of the century that then that they are enemies of the Palestinian People are not i think the speech tomorrow by the jordanian king and that but i see him president would be something to look for a model in Bashar Al Jazeera senior political analyst thanks for talking to us.

Of the workers who walked out they hope that the military leaders who replaced ousted president Omar Al Bashir will listen to their demands for a civilian led government so he just likes to do this right but were going for more if they dont live with the. Longer she was a little shocked at one or the first so far the Transitional Military Council hasnt reacted to the protesters demands and said saying the protest movement has. Infiltrated by and t. Sudanese elements now thats a charge that the protestors actually deny but they say they will continue their campaign of civil disobedience and strikes the Opposition Coalition will be hoping that the strike gives them negotiating power and that the Transitional Military Council will have to listen and we have talks if they dont opposition leaders say they will take further action such as more strikes for now the padlocks remain firmly closed as do the talks between the two parties in iraq carve out is there a hot.
