or five percent a year which they will the staggering debt service that the united states months pay will swamp the budget and at that stage the longest bull run on the market will stop decidedly so whether this will be as bad as nine hundred twenty nine thousand nine hundred eighty seven or two thousand and eight who knows when it's some stage the music is going to stop unless or until these deficits are going to be controlled this will have nothing to do with potential impeachment it will have everything to do with the markets and the fact that america's debt is running amok impatient itself as an issue it seems to have hung over this entire presidency far it only becomes relevant if the democrats take back the house doesn't it and even if that were to happen oh no oh no ok go ahead no no right now when world war two began to reverse itself churchill was asked whether this was the beginning at the end he said no this is the end of the beginning in many ways

this is just foreplay i'm not sure that the election violation laws that president trump is accused or at least michael cohen has pleaded guilty to will be sufficient and what's going to happen more importantly is the real trial of paul man a fort in early september which will get to issues that really will relate to obstruction of justice and money laundering that can hurt the president and if a special counsel robert muller produces not just a smoking gun but a smoking howitzer over obstruction of justice and not collusion but conspiracy with the russians then all of his son the issue of removal from office will become very very real and no matter who ones wins the election remember it was the republicans in congress who finally decided that richard nixon had to go in one thousand nine hundred seventy four when howard baker asked the question what did the president know and when did he know it we're right now there are no howard baker sadly in the senate but if mr. report becomes

a smoking howitzer then i think the republicans will have no choice but to consider very seriously the issues that are going to confront the president at this stage it is far too early this may be the end of the beginning but it is not the beginning of the end but in the case of impeachment or removal from office is it as simple as mike pence becomes president and everyone moves on yes absolutely the twenty fifth amendment dominates you need just a majority vote in the house but then you need a two thirds vote in the senate and even if the democrats were to win it's very difficult to see how a two thirds vote would occur but you may have charges against mr trump's family he may be forced to resign as richard nixon did in that case mike pence becomes president and then the fist fight will become over who's the vice president because in my judgment if mr pence becomes president he is not electable in two thousand and twenty and so the republicans will be given a huge problem now this is all wild speculation at this stage anybody who predicts

that in impeachment proceeding upon the president is premature we will see the matter for trial that comes up is going to be important in this and more important is going to be what the special counsel robert muller uncovers at this stage i think all speculation is a waste of time it's interesting it's titillating it makes for good news it makes for entertainment but the the jury is far from out in fact the jury has not been convened yet in my judgment harlan ullman i'm glad we could talk to you really really interesting to get your views thank you for your time. we've got plenty more ahead for you this news hour there is anger in south africa after donald trump waded into the country's land reform debate by suggesting white farmers are being targeted. the israeli army launches a criminal investigation to the killing of two palestinian teenagers during protests near the gaza israel border and sport we'll hear from a competitor proving age is absolutely no barrier to success at the asian games.

the united nations is calling latin american countries to ease entry for thousands of people fleeing venezuela's deepening economic and political crisis the call came after neighboring ecuador and predator announced tighter entry requirements for venezuelans they now need to have valid passports previously id's were enough for venezuelans according to the united nations more than one point six million people fled venezuela since twenty fifteen now latin america has really seen newman has more now from caracas. this is santa on phyllis's last day at her home in her working class neighborhood she sold everything possible and packed the rest she enters sister her two daughters and their four small children prepare to abandon israel so. i have to get my daughter out of here before it's too late. friend

jelly's three year old can't speak since she had a stroke provoked she says by the lack of medicine to treat her repeated convulsions half of them will go to peru the rest to chile to join husbands and sons but sandra is angry enough. we want to remain here and my beloved venezuela the best country in the world until madeira destroyed it we're leaving half of our family behind our family is now scattered. indeed oil rich venezuela is on recognizable disease hunger uncontrollable violence and hyperinflation are driving millions from a country where poverty has reached eighty percent president nicolas maduro blames u.s. financial sanctions but they don't begin to explain a crisis that began long before they were imposed a year ago. what is happening is of such gravity that it looks as though we were going through a terrible war like syria except there is no war and if the expectation that things

will get even worse it is nourishing the stampede. not that it's easy to leave a passport is worth its weight in gold to my money that i need but how is no way to get a passport at least to pay two thousand dollars under the table which i don't have . that's when the passport office official asked us to move away those lucky enough to have a passport come here to catch a bus going to peru via colombia and ecuador like everything else the bus tickets go on day by day so the people who are lining up here are doing so not to get a new ticket but to pay the difference someone they bought a month ago at four hundred and forty now they have to pay eight hundred eighty one they can't get on the bus it's prohibitive so like many others alexander is leaving for peru to try his luck with his pockets empty and. there's no work

a consequence my family obama milk and diapers my baby so i have no choice as the departure time nears the waiting room begins to look and feel like a mass funeral parlor. husbands wives children and fiances say goodbye to each other and certain what will become of those who leave. or of those who must stay behind a tragedy that's taking place every single day in every corner of venezuela. you see in yemen al jazeera got access. here's how we're going to cover this one. is. in brazil women a venezuelans of faced hostility from locals who come to you in a moment to rise above it start with the money and asuncion is into invests on peru's border with ecuador venezuelans as we said are going to need a passport to get there from. their increasing numbers of people trying to beat the deadline. that's right come out and many people are

arriving much more than yesterday as we've been able to see an official from the u n h e r the united nations office for refugees have been telling us in many more people today than the day before or both or what the peak on saturday where more than five thousand people more than five thousand venice will last came and crossed the border into and now it is the numbers are increasing of course because of this restriction that will be in place on saturday where the peruvian authorities will demand that they must have passports to be able to come into play to a majority of people do not have passports they only have their venice well and i also there's an increase because the ecuadorian government has opened what they called and who humanitarian corridor and they are basically transporting people who

they are on the right on the road on the way for free all the way from the border with colombia all the way here to the border with so more people are being able to get here fast and as many ecuadorians are saying in a safer way the question come out however is what will happen to those. thousands of people who don't have passports when they get here because they won't be able to go back to a quote unquote it won't take them back so what many are already taking a legal route to the. there are other border crossings which don't have controls here include because of their open borders with the quote people are already going in that direction and of course there will be other people who are will be coming through other more difficult a route to get into peru which is. their main targets to come here more than four

hundred thousand venezuelans are already hearing they do ok and from peru with money and a sense of thank you we go to teresa bono who is involved in brazil an update from you that's a razor. well hundreds of venezuelans continue to arrive every day in spite of the violence that happened last weekend when a group of venezuelans that were living in a shelter were attacked that shelter was destroyed it was set on fire and then a big mob basically pushed a sow's and venezuelans to the other side of the borders poleward venezuela many of them managed to come back and they're arriving at her place basically trying to find a meal medication they're saying that they do not want to go back if a venezuela remains in the way that it is and of course there's many of them arrive here the government has setup shelters there's nine shelters in the city of wabi where i am right now it's about three hours away from the border there's nine

shelters with hundreds of people inside of them and the government is hoping to build much more because there's hundreds of people on the streets entire families with children living on the streets so there is definitely a crisis that has increased tension with the locals so for right now what the government is trying to do is to relocate many of those arriving here they say that brazil has the capacity to allow venezuelans to come to this country but this state which is one of the poorest cannot continue to receive so many people for what they're trying to do right now is to move people to other states like brasilia or to religion a goal or other places where there's been as well as that arriving will be able to find jobs and build a new life to raise a better world history in brazil thank you very much. south africa has rejected a tweet from donald trump calling it narrow and divisive trumpet said that land was being seen from white farmers and that he doest his secretary of state to examine

the policy the south african government summon the most senior american diplomat in the country to discuss the controversy while in washington reporters pressed to trump administration officials on the issue the president asked the secretary to look closely at the current state of action in south africa related to land reform this is something that has been going on for many decades the conversation and debate about land reform there i should mention that the expropriation of land without compensation our position is that that would risk sending south africa down the wrong path we continue to encourage a peaceful and transparent public debate about what we consider to be a very important issue in south africa and certainly do as well. for the perspective from south africa family members been speaking to farmers in béla béla in limpopo province. the debate around land it's appropriate and without compensation is a very emotive one here in south africa the government says it supports the exploitation of land without paying for it as part of its land reform program but

white farmers in particular say it will kill the agricultural sector and harm the country's economy and the economy now they say they are better ways of including landless black people in the agricultural sector and in that way empowering them and we spoke to a farmer earlier who's attending this land summit in bella bella in the limpopo province who says while farmers understand that the injustices of the past have led to the vast majority of farming land being in the hands of the white minority the government has to reconsider its stance i think at the moment the uncertainty that that's in this whole discussion really really makes us feel threatened because you don't know we we're going to be in the year star so it certainly creates uncertainty i think in the past few weeks we've got some clarity from government i mean government has surely come come out also to this learned by to go and give

some assurance on what they planning to do how they are farmers who say this is an opportunity for the government to boost the economy and give rural communities a chance to participate i think that the issue of land expropriation is an issue that's been coming a long way in the struggle for liberation in south africa it's therefore an emotive issue and an economic issue it's really a struggle about economic freedom and the liberties of people to live and work where they wish to as the government grapples with details of just how it will go about expropriating land for the fuse been added to the fire following a tweet by u.s. president donald trump. land is being seized from white farmers now the government says trump's tweet is offensive and crude and it will deal with this through diplomatic channels and its relationship with the u.s. remains intact despite some in accuracies in that tweet is that african government

now has to do some damage control. just to get a background on this from the tension over land ownership is a symptom of decades of the racist apartheid system in south africa which ended in ninety ninety four and yet seventy two percent of land in south africa remains in the hands of white farmers whites that make up just eight percent of the whole population according to a group of hundreds of wagner's cultural associations the killing of white farmers is actually at a twenty year low forty seven killed last year at the peak of the violence in one thousand nine hundred you're looking at one hundred fifty three farms killed president cyril ramaphosa has announced plans to redistribute land through a series of reforms he says he wants to do it in a way that doesn't further racially divide the country. it was the news hour from al-jazeera still ahead of dates with the court for ugandan musician turned politician bobby wine some charges are dropped but the case against him is far from over some of the world's most distinctive sports stars that an unexpected dimension
