Efforts to remove him. Egypts president warns the Libyan Government in tripoli not to cross the current frontline but its our life you have to. And zimbabwe is covered gate scandal the Health Minister faces corruption charges over a Major Contract for medical supplies. Finally wellings with the sport including the news that fans who return to french football grounds next month cup competitions are going to be completed in forms on 5000. 00 fans are being allowed into the study. Now just hours before donald trump makes a big pitch to be reelected as u. S. President of course has paved the way for the publication of a tell all book on his time in office or far a judge has rejected trumps last ditch attempt to block the release by his form of the. Security adviser john bolton in his book on alleges the president s war chinas help to win reelection a President Trump has tweeted after that ruling he said bolton had been all washed up until he was given a chance at the white house despite the judges ruling trump said his former National Security adviser had broken the law by including classified information in his book and he also said bolton must pay a very big price for what hes done well lets now get more from mike hanna whos in washington d. C. For us mike unsurprisingly the white house not very pleased about this talk us through the judges ruling today. Well the judge basically found that the horses left the bomb as he put to death because of the widespread public dissemination of passages from boltons book the administration was essentially too late to bring his decision the judge found that the administration would suffer no harm the public would suffer no harm with the book being made freely available as so many experts had already been published in the Public Domain but the judge as well was highly critical of john bolton saying that he had gambled with National Security and adding that he had opened himself to civil and possibly criminal action now President Trump issued an even more colorful tweet than what you just mentioned there saying that bolton in reference to him likes to drop bombs on people well were going to drop a bomb on him very clearly President Trump is considering criminal or civil action against john bolton based on the elements of this case now this is borne out by a statement has just been issued by the white house it which it says very clearly john bolton broke the law as the judge would appear to indicate and it says that it will make every effort to take this matter forward and to deny him any profits from the book which will be a consequence of a civil action against a former National Security adviser so the white house putting the best face on it saying its a big win as President Trump describes it intent on taking out further action on john bolton but come tuesday the public will be able to read the book in its full form well despite the attempt by the white house to put a brave face on this surely this is also incredibly embarrassing for the Justice Department getting involved in this at such a late stage. Well it is and the Justice Departments had some problems in recent weeks and indeed months the judge made very clear in his decision that the outcome could have been different if the Justice Department had sought an injunction at the time that john bolton walked away from the National Review process this the judge found was a transgression of the law however that was a long period of time ago and after that the excerpts from the book have been published but the judge making clear that the Justice Department was slow in bringing the injunction if it had done so at the time that bolton left the review process at the time before the passages were made public the outcome could have come very different so certainly this is just going to add to what has been massive criticism of the Justice Department for its handling of a number of cases in recent weeks mike hanna there with all the latest from washington d. C. Thanks very much mike well donald trump is also my head in another controversy after his attorney general bill barr tried to fire a top federal prosecutor who has investigated a number of the president s associates now Jeffrey Berman is refusing to step down and says he will continue his work as Alexia Obrien reports. As the top federal prosecutor in manhattan Jeffrey Berman its led several investigations into corruption close to the u. S. President s inner circle today and seeing an indictment charging love parness igor fruma in october last year he announced charges against 2 men linked to Donald Trumps personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani they were accused of trying to buy influence of u. S. Policy in ukraine in a case that added fuel to the calls for troops impeachment they saw a political influence not only to advance their own financial interests but to advance the political interests of at least one foreign official. These cases and an investigation into giuliani have concern to the trumpet ministration on friday night attorney general william announced berman was leaving his position saying that the president intends to nominate jay clayton the current chairman of the securities and Exchange Commission a lawyer with no experience as a prosecutor statement ending by thanking Jeffrey Berman describing him as stepping down after 2 and a half years of service their only problem is Jeffrey Berman says hes not going anywhere releasing his own statement i learned in a press release from the attorney general tonight that i was stepping down as United States attorney i have not resigned and have no intention of resigning my position the trumpet ministration has a growing reputation for forcing out anyone seen as disloyal in recent weeks the president has fired a number of agency watchdogs including the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community whose actions led to the impeachment inquiry but offered no explanation for attempting to replace berman a republican who once donated to Trumps Campaign democrats have accused barr of politicizing the department of justice and acting more like trumps personal lawyer barr i. Heard. What. Senate Democrat Chuck schumer of new york has tweeted the dismissal reeks of potential corruption of the Legal Process questioning what action by berman had motivated the president burmans laid cases against transform a personal lawyer Michael Cohen and convicted sex offender for yet he says hell continue to pursue Justice Without fear or favor until a president ial pointed replacement is confirmed by the senate and exam brian aljazeera. Has been preparing for his 1st campaign rallies. The krajina Virus Outbreak oklahomas top court ruled that the event intelsat can go ahead in the coming hours despite attempts to stop it because of fears it could western the pandemic and thats not the only kentucky as well benelux reports. Supporters of President Donald Trump have camped out for days outside the arena in tulsa 2 whether by choice or lack of historical knowledge President Trump has chosen to kick off his Reelection Campaign in a city notorious for racist violence and mass murder in 1021 tolsons prosperous greenwood neighborhood was known as black wall street when rumors spread about an encounter between a black teenage boy and a white girl armed gangs of whites rampage through greenwood killing and burning planes dropped incendiary bombs witnesses said some Tulsa Police Officers set fire to homes and businesses while others stood by without intervening up to 300 africanamericans were killed people saw bodies.

In 2016 a black man named turns crutcher was shot and killed by a white policewoman while standing next to his vehicle crutcher was unarmed the officer was acquitted of manslaughter Tiffany Crutcher is terences twin sister in the same policing culture that burnt down my great grandmothers community black wall street also known as the Greenwood Community is the same culture that continues to persist the day the same culture and they killed my twin brother trump one oklahoma overwhelmingly in 2016 why then hold a rally in a state hell almost certainly carry again. Once. And. Once. I think a large part of the president s reelection effort is going to be. The strategy could back fire brand the middle of a pandemic and this will be the 1st large event since weve shut down everything after this family and it turns out there is a significant outbreak of 1000. 00 among. I think thats really going to put into jeopardy the president s strategy its a volatile combination of history of massacre a bitterly divided nation on edge and a deadly virus spreading fast with a president poised to stir up the brew robert oulds aljazeera. Well thats not going and granny brewer who is alive and for us graham i see that tulsa is reporting a new daily record of private 1000 cases we expecting big crowds then out of the us. Well there are quite a few people out here right now and about a couple hours ago they started letting people into the rally the capacity for the be ok centers a little over 9000000 id say theres probably about a 1000 people right outside this particular gate one of a couple theyve blocked off a city block of tulsa with a pretty high fences which you can probably see behind me im so you cant quite get directly next to the be ok center so its difficult to tell exactly how many people have already gone inside but theres still quite a quite a large crowd here right now and this is just the Trump Supporters this isnt including people who are here to celebrate juneteenth or to protest this event well let me ask you about that because some demonstrators i also expected to protest times very presence that i believe do you get that a sense that there might be tension between the groups the supporters and those protesters. At this particular moment actually the mood is quite good its fairly jovial i was at the juneteenth celebrations last night so greenwood where the massacre in the in 1021 occurred is just south of downtown thats largely were a lot of the celebrations were held so there is kind of a super rich than a bit of a distance between those 2 competing crowds but overall we can the mood has been pretty good the weathers nice its overcast so its not too hot and theres just people kind of milling about i saw a gentleman walk by about a minute ago carrying a large wooden cross over his shoulder theres all sorts of booze set up and you can buy anything from a flag to a taser. Interesting gramley brown of that on the streets of tel so for us keeping an eye on things thank you very much frank well we can now also speak to avis insurance to weave a shes a race and divesting expansion will have the president of the washington d. C. Based Consulting Firm and science and the message avis. Tensions are obviously very high not only in tulsa but across the United States at this time and as if the trump had already postponed this rally off to a head on june 18th yesterday what do you make of trumps decision to hold this rally in tulsa i believe that it was an intentional poke in the eye of the black community and they also believe that it was an intentional dog whistle to his base a lot of whom we know are White Supremacists one of the things that weve seen that has become endemic with his particular administration is that weve seen now increases in hate crimes in america at record pace we also saw in his last campaign in 2016 those counties where he held rallies experienced fight crime right after he won and so he knows exactly who he is the peel into by holding this rally there on sacred ground and he knows exactly who he is insulting at the same time as i was just discussing that with graham there has been talk of these demonstrators who may show up to try to oppose trumps presence and his supporters but i see hes also threatened protesters on twitter calling them lowlifes if they disrupt his rally how is that going down. You know what its to be expected to be perfectly honest hes not intimidating anyone but we would expect him to hold those sorts of views when it comes to demonstrators who call him to task for his activities which could be very easily described as racist at the same time which is his of coron stewarts demonstrators are not universal remember that in charlotte the furniture aliceville when there were White Supremacists demonstrators who literally kill someone he turned around and call them very fine people so we know who he is we know what to expect in his tirades on twitter right now are getting a little old you mentioned spikes there and hate crimes i mean one of the big concerns about the rally today is a potential spike in 1000 cases and this is a rally thats set to be held in a large indoor arena the kind of place that corona virus spreads and cases and i have been on the rise how is the president s disregard for the advice of a Health Officials being regarded its completely consistent with his very narcissistic personality is completely psychopathic personality in terms of his inability to care for the safety and well being of others its dimmick of his level of incompetence in terms of how he has managed this pandemic overall in this country which has led to over 100000 people dead in america and with us having the highest prevalence of coke at 19 in the world it is indeed because of who he is who he cares about which is just himself and his complete disregard for human rights life even the lives of his own supporters evidence we have seen people already started arriving at that venue and this is clearly a trump wanting to be embraced by his base right but his Approval Ratings have been steadily slipping since the pandemic began and also with the protests with and sam cross the country hows he looking now heading towards november. Actually he is experiencing really bad trends in terms of polling see him now behind biden by about 20 points nearing 20 points right now and many of the polls that ive seen some of the demographics that encourage him previously for example white women he is now losing in terms of his support among black people which he didnt carry last time hes actually going further behind than he was in 2016 and so you know right now it seems as if his campaign is going in can we lead the wrong direction i think hes really hoping though to be able to sort of rally his base his base make his base believe that colbert 19 is not a threat so that they would be encouraged to come out and vote for him and those who survive antics like the one this one of the day well at the same time putting in place Voter Suppression tactics particularly targeting communities of color so as to maximize the voting power of his supporters and minimize the voting power of those people who are most likely to vote against him. Speak to us from washington d. C. Great to get your thoughts here on out is there. Oh theres plenty more ahead for you this news hour including convicted of corruption a high profile congolese politician sentenced to 20 years of hard labor in prison.

Well i think youre right its another little bit of trouble here because theres a loud speaker system nearby here in charge of all the square but as you were saying thousands of people have been on the streets of london on saturday. And previous demonstrations a fairly young other very mixed crowd racially there has been peaceful and out the money messages of the hope but weve also heard.
