Thank you for joining as the top democrat in the u. S. Congress nancy pelosi says her party is moving forward to impeach donald trump saying the president s behavior has left them with no choice but o. C. Has announced the drafting of formal charges known as articles of impeachment she says sean past seriously violated the constitution. I democracy is what is it stake the president leaves us no choice but to act because he is trying to corrupt once again the election for his own benefit the president has engaged in abuse of power undermining our National Security and jeopardizing the integrity of our elections his actions are in defiance of the vision of our founders and the oath of office that he takes to preserve protect and defend the constitution of the state. A reminder the case centers on allegations that trump tried to use military aid to ukraine as leverage to get its leader to dig up dirt on a political rival in response to policies announcements the white house said that the democrats should be quote ashamed it added president looks forward to a fair trial in the senate where his Republican Party holds the majority while we have our White House Correspondent kimberly how kate standing by well go turn just a minute but 1st to heidi also in washington for us heidi 1st of all just how big of a deal is nancy pelosi is announcement. Well foley this certainly adds the gravitas and the full weight of the House Speakers Office behind the this impeachment process of course follows c. She is the 2nd in line to the presidency herself and she said this morning using those sweeping terms that this is about a sense of duty by democrats and all members of congress to hold the president accountable so now this next step is to draft what these articles of impeachment or these formal charges what exactly will be from the looks of it they will include abuse of power as well as obstruction of congress but a bigger question is whether or not democrats who are writing these articles will also look back to the russia inquiry if youll recall earlier in the year the special counsel clear trump saying there was no evidence that he had colluded with russia to impact the 2016 election but he left the door open as far as obstruction of justice and hinted that it would be the congresss duty to act on those grounds if deemed that they exist now there are 2 schools of thought there are some democrats who want to make this impeachment articles more widespread to cover all of what they see as the wrongdoing of trump but then the other school of thought is that would actually play right into the arguments of republicans who have said this entire process is political in nature and have accused democrats of trying to undo the election that got trump into office that led to an extraordinary exchange between a reporter and seeker of the house nancy pelosi reporter asked her if she hates President Trump which is plain into what the republican Ranking Member of the Judiciary Committee accused democrats of yesterday this is how palosi responded. This is about the constitution of the United States and the facts that lead to the president s violation of his oath of office and as a catholic i resent your using the word hate in a sentence that addresses me i dont hate anyone i was raised in a way that is full of heart full of love and always prayed for the president and i still pray for the president a pray for the president all the time so dont mess with me when it comes to words like that. And democrats have been claiming all along that this is ok jd and that they are fulfilling the duty of their office that no one is looking forward to impeaching him even perhaps removing the president from office now the next thing will see is on monday the Judiciary Committee will continue with more hearings to help craft what those articles of impeachment exactly. Thank you for the. Stay in washington and cross over to White House Correspondent Kimberly Halkett kimberly what are they saying over there about this announcement. Yeah well weve just had a statement from the White House Press secretary Stephanie Grisham and just the last few moments since the last few sentences that caught my attention essential is this impeachment process moves forward and continues to pick up momentum the press secretary saying that Speaker Pelosi is instruction to advance this impeachment process one that has violated every precedent move this country toward the most partisan and illegitimate subversion of the constitution in our history and certainly most in the United States would agree that this has fallen whether its in the u. S. Congress or in public support along party lines and other words those who are republican tend to defend the president those who are democrat say that he has committed wrongdoing and needs to be removed from office its been a very combative few hours between capitol hill and the white house the u. S. President for his part has sent out more than a dozen tweets many of them taking aim directly with the House Speaker nancy pelosi in fact as we played that sound bite of her saying that she prays for the president the u. S. President firing back within minutes saying i dont believe her 2 not even close theres no question that this white house is in a defensive mood a fighting mood in fact at one point the u. S. President even tweeting that he wants this Impeachment Vote to happen quickly why because he wants it to go into the senate where it is controlled by republicans the argument has been from republicans and from this white house that the process has been flawed that its been skewed in a partisan way in order for democrats to try and undo the results of the 2016 u. S. Election something that of course they dispute the reason the president was this in the senate as heidi jocasta explained is controlled by republicans where they feel the president can have a full and fair trial where they can also call witnesses that may bring forward testimony if they appear that may not be flattering to democrats what we have is yet another. Partisan battle here in the United States and it is particularly heated right at this moment with back and forth between this president and the speaker of the house Nancy Pelosi Kimberly thank you for that Kimberly Halkett live for us at the white house so how does process work well it begins in the house which debates and votes on whether to bring charges against the president if that vote is successful a trial of sorts presided by the chief justice of the u. S. Supreme court is then taken to the senate a 2 thirds majority vote is needed in the 100 Member Senate to convict and remove a president historically impeachments are rare out of 35 attempts only 2 president s have been impeached and neither removed from office a 3rd president Richard Nixon resigned want proceedings were underway well its now speak to jay newton small who is a contributor at Time Magazine she is via skype from washington thank you so much for being with us 1st of all what do you make of nancy pelosi is announcement today do you think this is a big moment in the impeachment process. I want certainly a big moment in American History any time you announce that youre going to move forward articles of impeachment against president obviously thats a huge deal in any country it is an attempt to remove the president even though odds are very slim they actually succeed in being donald trump as cutely was saying this is entirely a partisan process and so the house process has been very much skewed towards the Democratic Political goals as well as the democratic argument against almost shrubs and their goal of getting him out of office or at least convincing voters in november 2020 to get him out of office likewise the senate trial if it happens at all will be all about Donald Trumps case there to to voters in 2020 that this was an unfair process and outlining democratic intentional democratic rights and the other side that he says took place from one of his chief rivals by his former Vice President joe biden and his son hunter biden who was paid 50000. 00 over 5 years a month for 5 years by Ukrainian Oil company even though 100 biden and joe biden both say that that money did not translate into any kind of political favors by joe biden in his role as Vice President it looks like jay that the democrats want to move things quickly now they officially announced a impeachment inquiry into the president a minimum of a 2 months ago and not a song that they want they want to be done with it is that a mistake in your view are they perhaps moving too quickly here. Certainly there is some democrats that feel that the end of the year is an arbitrary timeline and theyd like to see this play out a little bit longer give for example the courts more of an opportunity to weigh in on whether or not a spate of very important misses former National Security adviser john bolton Current White House chief of staff dany whether they should be able to testify before the house they both have said that they would not testify unless they were sort of explicitly ordered to by a court and that being heard in but itll take a long time to peel in like take a long time to go through and so the house is just simply not going to wait for the courts to make those decisions really d do it again this is a political timeline nancy pelosi wants this over and done with at least 10 months ahead or 11 months ahead of any elections that if they overreach which there is a great tension for that they can spend the next 11 months correcting that overreach and sort of making amends to particularly this sort of silent majority of independent American Voters now those voters we call them the silent majority because they tend to not show up in polls they tend really to not Pay Attention in the United States to whats going on in the daily circus of news stories that kind of show up about a month or 2 before elections and make up their minds then but they dont like hyper partisanship they dont like extremes on either side and so if you overreach and if you are too extreme one way or another you really risk cutting off that silent majority of voters and i think republicans risk the same thing in the senate so as they if there is a senator allen im not entirely convinced that the house will necessarily garner enough democratic votes to impeach but if they do and they send the trial to the senate then thats potentially 2 months of hyper partisan activities that again risks putting off those moderate voters so will it be ultimately then the American Voters who decide the outcome of this all. I think thats always been the entire goal for this entire circus of proceedings is that we knew going into this that even if the house impeached the senate it was never going to find 2 thirds because you need so many republicans turned against the president to do so that they would never reach their own president and so going into this you know it was a political process and really theyre just building their cases and building their arguments to do voters come next november on why they should either be reelected if youre donald trump or why you should be barred out of office if youre a democrat thank you so much for speaking to us and sharing your thoughts jane nugent small from Time Magazine joining us today from washington d. C. Thank you for your time this plenty more ahead on this news hour including the u. S. And mexico seek new ways to fight back against violent drug cartels well have a live report from mexico city also organizers of the tokyo 2020 lympics are feeling the heat after more events are rescheduled over health and safety concerns ito have the details in sports. First violence has erupted on the streets of paris off to tens of thousands took to the streets across france striking over pension reforms. Under new center for more on that. These are some of the largest demonstrations the country has seen in years spread over 30 french cities and all part of a Massive Public sector strike involving Railway Workers teachers an emergency room medics amongst others president Emanuel Mccord wants to overhaul the countrys Pension System but unions who want the changes over time and have extended the strike now until monday and this action but reports to us from paris the protest has come from all parts of society. There are thousands of protesters marching across paris people from all walks of life noirs as you do in stealth workers transport workers and teachers there were united in protest against the governments pension reform plans now the government says the Pension System needs to be reformed in france because its inefficient its unfair and it costs too much public money we want people here have told us is that they are worried that their pensions will be reduced on to these proposals although theyll be forced to work more years now this strike has caused major disruption across the country with public transport here at schools universities close many businesses also of course to shut most workers who go back to work on friday but the transport workers say they are going to continue with rolling strikes at least for the next 3 days now the march is been mostly peaceful the protests across the country have been peaceful but there have been some clashes between police and protesters in paris and in the western city of knowledge. That is just a week until the u. K. General election and Prime Minister Boris Johnson appears to receive the Political Boost for bracks a policy any piece of quit their party and voters to back the conservatives they say only a victory for johnson will ensure that the u. K. Leaves the e. U. The issue of brics it has dominated this election and torn up old Party Alliances the main Opposition Labor Party has promised to hold a 2nd referendum if it wins next week would reports out from hartley poll which voted overwhelmingly to leave the e. U. In the referendum and whether voters and now turning their backs on labor. British politics has at times felt like a game during the past few years old be it one with no winners hardly paul has been a labor town for more than half a century but 7 out of 10 people have voted to leave the e. U. In the 2016 referendum and the brics that party has made this a target seat and now long held political loyalties are being cast aside people do or believe. Because. Peter what i got out. Of between concern even bricks is because this time will if you vote and think because if they dont like it and there was a commons well after. Many here are disillusioned with politics altogether and for good reason for years successive governments happen accused of doing little to help towns like. There is still big business but decades of deindustrialization have led to high levels of Unemployment Labor has a long history of doing well here in holland but this is an election like no other him recent times it is unpredictable and the stakes of course couldnt be higher for the people of hartley paul what they want more than anything is their voices to be heard and their lives to improve. 53 at the water and trust Community Center in one of the most deprived areas of the country people are keeping count life can be challenging here but people help each other out and they want real change its about getting people. To. Better stop the allness so. Can we do. But bricks it looms large in areas like this where people voted to leave the e. U. And that could mean punishing parties at the polls if ever a brac sampai extraordinary party thats been around. For having a moms who has got absolutely no connection with the pro and they vote for him enough to get him elected that would be extraordinary and would say they remain the single Biggest Issue in their lives or at least the element of democracy remains the single Biggest Issue in their lives all parties are promising to recruit them only support unary people politics since the e. U. Referendum has deeply divided pressure society and the issue of could end up causing a deeper split at the ballot box when it comes to the result and he would aljazeera partly pool thats it for me and the team here in london and now well see in about 40 minutes time thats it get back to folly in doha. Thank you very much for that iran has sent a letter to the u. N. Saying that its determined to continue with its Ballistic Missile program this comes after france germany and the u. K. Urged the u. N. Secretary general to tell the Security Council that irans missile activity is inconsistent with the 2050 nuclear deal the u. S. Has accused tehran of working to obtain Nuclear Missiles iran denies the allegations the u. S. Pulled out of the 2015 nuclear deal lets bring in our correspondent in tehran i beg so i said why are these european powers saying that iran is in violation of the deal. Both france germany and the United Kingdom have written to the United Nations general secretary citing a Ballistic Missile test footage of which emerged on social media now back in april they say the Technology Used in that Ballistic Missile is capable of delivering Nuclear Weapons and thats why iran is in violation of the 2015 nuclear deal but heres the thing the j. C. Agreement that nuclear deal the 2015 nuclear deal does not address irans Ballistic Missile program fact iran was very clear that they only want to concentrate on Irans Nuclear program. And its one of the reasons that United States President Donald Trump has criticized the deal and one of the reasons he cited for calling the United States out of that deal but what does address irans Ballistic Missile program is the United Nations resolution that endorsed the 2015 nuclear deal and thats what the europeans say iran is in violation of and so what has irans response been. Well. It has made the attack on the europeans he took to twitter he said it was. A miserable attempt to cover up their own incompetence is in relation to meeting big commitments to the 2015 nuclear deal now iran has been criticizing the europeans because they have not been able to help iran. Not to state sanctions. But he also posted pictures of 2 United Nations resolutions 2010 or one from 2015 now in the 1st one the wording of that agreement says that resolution iran shall not undertake activities to develop Nuclear Ballistic sorry undertake activities related to Ballistic Missiles capable of delivering Nuclear Weapons now the 2nd resolution which iran says supersedes the 1st one in fact calls upon iran not to undertake activities or to develop new develop but missiles designed to deliver Nuclear Weapons and iran says they Ballistic Missiles are not designed to deliver Nuclear Weapons. And they dont have the Nuclear Material capable of doing that right now but also iran seizes Ballistic Missile program as a defensive one and all of its military technology they see themselves in the region with that by billions of dollars worth of weapons they also see themselves as under threat from the state of israel and iran has pointed out that day but the Missile Program is to defend themselves even against a possible attack from israel. Security council has scheduled a meeting for. 19th to discuss the resolution in relation to the 2015 nuclear deal thank you very much for that correspondent in iran capital russia. Strikes have killed at least 6 people in italy province over the past 2 days attacks on the last remaining rebel stronghold have intensified in the last 2 months as victoria gave me reports of what the cost of.

Of critical appraisal. 4000000 people live in it live province which is under the control of terria al sham and a group with whom a link to al qaeda the russian and Syrian Government say recapturing the province is just a matter of time but the increase in attacks is worsening the humanitarian crisis.

By the u. S. Attorney general william barr is in mexico to discuss the threat of drug cartels President Donald Trump last week said he. Wanted them designated as terrorist groups mexicos president and dress money Lopez Obrador rejected the idea as a form of interventionism but he said he would work with trying to stem the flow of guns and dollars from the u. S. Alan fischer is live for us in mexico city what can we expect from a meeting between william bar and mexican officials what what is at stake here. Well bilbao arrived for his meeting with the president at the president ial palace about 30 minutes ago and hes also going to meet the foreign minister when he is there thats quite unusual bill barr would normally meet with his counterpart in the Mexican Government the attorney general hes already done that this morning he spent an hour with him and then drove to the president ial palace that would suggest that this is being taken pretty seriously by both the mexicans and the United States will perhaps tell the president what Donald Trumps thinking is donald trump said last week as you said he would like to designate the cartels in mexico as a terrorist organization though that would impose a number of financial restrictions on them as well heres the big concern from the mexican side they are worried that that would lead to some sort of military incursion by the United States either troops coming into mexico itself or perhaps even the basics of a drone strike something you might see in the middle east but not something that you would expect with one of your close neighbors theyre concerned then that that would lead to some sort of american backlash because theres a very strong nationalistic sentiment in mexico or if say they targeted the head of a cartel there could be a backlash from the cartel that the americans would have to deal with it would be down to the mexicans so theres still a lot of talk but given the fact the bill bar is with the president it would suggest the donald trump is very keen to push ahead with this and we know that donald trump often decides policy on what he thinks will get a big round of applause or the cheer at a rally and certainly if he said he was designating mexican cartels as a terrorist organization that is certainly something that would happen thank you for that and fish a lot for a scene mexico city. The u. S. Has chaunge to russians for whats described as one of the knowledge as hacking schemes of the past decade the u. S. Justice department accuses them of working with russian intelligence to steal government documents and of using ma web to try and steal money from american businesses and banks both forms of the malware intercept passwords and other private information that can be used to conduct wire transfers the malware then initiate a redirects wire transfers from victim Bank Accounts to foreign Bank Accounts controlled by the criminals because many of the victims of both blue got and zeus are small and midsize businesses their accounts typically do not have the same Legal Protections afforded to consumer accounts so some of the losses involved were particularly devastating. Agitator and she have a tankini sullenness story from washington d. C. The number is a pretty huge actually 40 countries affected thousands of people having money stolen from them over 100000000. 00 stolen the charges are against those 2 russian residents and 7 individuals those are the 17 individuals and 7 and meanwhile will have their assets frozen the charges are specifically there against maximum yacoob bats a Russian National hes accused of being a ringleader of the group and ego to russia of whos accusing the System Administrator of a group called evil called no less evil court and their plan was laid out in the indictment that they would spread mouw air through attachments and emails that would be opened by people that would then go to work i would harvest the logon information that people would have in various banks and Financial Institutions and then would almost automatically start transferring funds to offshore Bank Accounts which evil corp owns so this is the plan this is this is their plan this very successful plan according to according to authorities here in the u. S. Small businesses. Religious orders School Districts apparently targeted there went through a list trying to show the humanity of all of this stuff 100000000 dollars stolen however clearly both of these russian residents its very difficult to see how they will be extradited so there is actually a 5000000. 00 reward up to 5000000. 00 for information leading to the capture of max and jack about who is said to be the ringleader of of evil called. Techies parliament defied a contentious deal with libya that lays out maritime boundaries in the Eastern Mediterranean sea the deal adds to tension with greece and cyprus over who owns the rights to oil and gas training in the region cyprus is seeking legal action against the International Court of justice accusing it of sending drill ships into its waters techie does not recognize that Greek Cypriot dominated cyprus as a sovereign state and says it cant have maritime boundaries until theres a peace deal with the south to dominated Northern Cyprus and speak to an orange spread and now who is a professor of International Maritime not Fordham University school of law hes from the u. S. State of new jersey thank you so much for being with us 1st of all how does this deal between turkey and libya impact cyprus and the other countries and on the mediterranean there. Thats the complicated question because its not clear it does because when turkey and libya agreed to an e. C. An easy remember there were agreement if not necessarily fine others state searches cyprus greece. Egypt and others who are concerned neither will be in the war. Or you were invited to which generally governs the b. B. C. Claims so that if you know that. The dispute between cyprus and kurt is going to be in court just is not to be the amber court that that was a spammer. And whats complicating this is you have the European Union backing its members greece and cyprus in this escalating spat. Absolutely the United States state department noted earlier this week that the agreement was on a helpful and provocative un envoy to libya noted the other day that the pro unary grammont. Was seen as a brazen target predominate that thats not a direct quote but he also noted that it would have adverse effects on the december 10th meeting and the proposed january meeting try to resolve the many years in libya so this is this has a complicating and widespread problem. It seems to be. A deal by turkey and one of the 2 claimants to libya and sovereignty and should not affect the claims of countries such as small cyprus and graves and so where does is then the dealer leave cyprus has petitioned the hague whats the likely outcome of that. Oh i think its as complicated as the the chinese philippine dispute city in the in the in the pacific theres going to be a resolution of parties dont agree the court will decide and then of course who enforces the agreement as weve seen in china and weve seen around the world in particular rabiya over the past 40 years there have been treated when they have a geisha disputes and sometimes it takes ships and more ships proceeding through here its more help with your work the drilling ships and its gas its not a ship passing through at 10 or 20 or 30 knots and sending a diplomatic note its a drill ship attempting to exploit this was one of the major complications that prevented president reagan from. Signing the log sea agreement in the early 1980 s. During his presidency however at the same time he acknowledged that it was customary International Law in the mid 1990 s. President clinton after lengthy negotiations addressing similar issues about 3 and deep sea bed mining signed the agreement of the at the United States however United States is still not a party to the u.
