cohen has implicated him in breaking campaign finance laws while his former campaign chief for manifold was found guilty of bank fraud i don't know how you can impeach somebody who's done a great job. i'll tell you what if i ever got impeached i think the market would crash i think everybody would be very poor. because without this thinking you would see that you would see numbers that you wouldn't believe more on this from has your account show in washington d.c. . impeachment is a real possibility for trump if his party of republicans lose control of the house come the november midterm elections and so while the president's statements that essentially say if he is impeached everyone may be poor may sound surprising on its face but when you look at it it may be a motivator the in the president's belief to turn out his base in november it's notable that on tuesday the same day that two of trump's most closest allies became

convicted felons was the same day that the american stock market rallied to record highs and recent polls show that ninety percent of republicans think trump is doing a good job in office and so trump is adamant in issuing this threat or warning however you look at it to his base that they have to turn out in november or ause perhaps risk their pocketbooks now in this long and winding interview with fox news president trump also went on to renew criticism of his attorney general jeff sessions he renewed the refrain that sessions should not have recused himself from the russian vessel should have us in a stand simply done a better job to protect the president now sessions who has long been quiet amid these criticisms did shoot back with a strongly worded statement saying that he would not be influenced by political considerations many are seeing this as the attorney general drawing

a line in the sand between himself and the president and it remains to be seen what action if any the president will take finally on this day of much intrigue and breaking news surrounding the white house the wall street journal is reporting that david packer a longtime friend of donald trump and the publisher of the national enquirer has made a deal with federal prosecutors that implicates trump in the pay off of two women who claim that they had sexual relations. ships with trump to buy their silence here's what's coming up for you this news hour there is anger in south africa after donald trump wades into the country's land reform debate by suggesting white farmers are being targeted israeli army launches a criminal investigation into the killing of two palestinian teenagers during the protests of the guards or israel border and in sports or hear from a competitor proving age is just no barrier to success at the asian games.

united nations has called on latin american countries to ease entry for thousands of people fleeing venezuela's economic and political crisis the call came after neighboring ecuador and peru announced tighter entry requirements for venezuelans than i am now need valid passports when previously they were allowed to come in with just their id cards according to the u.n. more than one point six million people fly have fled venezuela since twenty here is a latin america editor missing in human reporting from caracas. this is santa on phyllis's last day at her home in her working class caracas neighborhood she sold everything possible and packed the rest she enters sister her two daughters and therefore small children prepare to abandon israel so difficult that 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 my door destroyed it we're leaving half of our family behind our family it's now scattered. indeed oil rich venezuela is an 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 help 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 missed a behind the tragedy that's taking place every single day in every corner of the news when. you see in human al-jazeera back. tens of thousands of venezuelans have already left in search of a better life in a moment we'll hear from to reza bushies in both vista in brazil where many venezuelans have faced hostility actually from locals starting with marianna sunshines in terms of the border with ecuador are ten men of many venezuelans are trying to beat the saturday deadline but there are many going to swells arriving much more than the days before of course because of this restriction that will be in place on saturday were they will need

a passport to get into thousands of venezuelans do not have passports it's very difficult a very costly to get them in venezuela so they are rushing to this border of the middle has had an open border policy for been a swell and there are nearly or nearly four hundred thousand of them as well and already living in pay too. many are also coming the number has increased because the ecuadorian authorities are transporting many bypasses for free so they can get across. territory all the way to this border crossing the question will be what will happen. to thousands of innocents who do not have a passport when they get here they won't be able to go back to as well because it will have the same restriction of benefit of having to hold a passport to be able to go in so there is a big question for a peruvian authorities and for international organizations as to what will they be able to do to help these been

a swell and who are on their way to do right now. hundred continue to arrive. i was away from the road of a arrive in a desperate situation they're hungry they're looking for a meal they're looking for medication and they say that they do not want to go back to the way that venezuela. there have been. brazilian government but also by the united nations refugee agency there is at least nine. hundred people in each one of them but there's also hundreds of people on the street leaving their entire families with their children and of course has intensified the tensions that have been ongoing in the. last week and already an attack happened to one of the shelters when it was destroyed and. one thousand. push towards the other side of the border the government was forced to

send more security forces to this part of the country where the government is trying to do right now. hating those who are in the shelters trying to help them find jobs and a new life they're trying to send them to other. tape where there's been a hard making a living on their own if not an easy task it difficult it can people started to arrive here and there's many even if you do not want to leave because they say that it is close to going to have a continue to wait for their relatives south africa has rejected a tweet from donald trump calling it narrow and divisive strumpet said land was being seized from white samas and that he also has secretary of state to examine the policy the south african government some of the most senior american diplomat to discuss the controversy while in washington reporters pressed 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 the south african certainly do as well. well here's what they are saying in south africa from a to miller's been speaking to farmers in béla béla in the proper province. the debate around landed spoke relation 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 injustices of the past have led to the bust 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 a year star so it's certainly creates uncertainty i think in the past two weeks we've got some clarity from government coming government surely come come out also to this learned by today 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 is really a struggle about economic freedom in 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 saying 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 a little context on this because the tension over land ownership is a symptom of decades of the racist apartheid system in south africa it ended in ninety four yet seventy two percent of land in south africa remains in the hands of

white farmers even though they only make up eight percent of the population according to a group of hundreds of agricultural associations the killing of white farmers is that a twenty year low forty seven killed last year at the peak of the violence in nine hundred ninety eight it was one hundred fifty three president cyril ramaphosa has announced his plans to redistribute through a series of reforms he says he wants to do it on a way that doesn't further me further racially divide the country. now nearly a million people remain displaced from their homes in the indian state of carolina as it recovers from the worst floods in a century many are questioning though whether due to the disaster could have been avoided as under thomas reports from the town of some blame over some blame overdevelopment some blame the mismanagement of the reservoirs. hundreds of people have died more than a million fled their homes but how that trip was carolyn's disaster the quantity of

rain it was unprecedented two and a half times the normal figure for office so far but environmentalists say properly managed its land and rivers would have absorbed it and channeled it to the sea over development in flood plains is to blame left but. claiming that even as an wetlands for other uses that is one of them a good thing which i agree we did was to do it another way the flood plains in the form of paddy fields on about plants what are they going to accommodate and morsels of water. the floods were made worse a environmentalist by quantities of plastic rubbish cloaking rivers stopping them flowing faster instead the rivers burst their banks but even with those issues the floods say some could have been avoided aside from the long term impact of environmental mismanagement and pollution there is another way that some here are seeing this as a manmade disaster they're blaming those who manage the dams and reservoirs carola

has fifty three large reservoirs with a collective capacity of nearly seven trillion liters of water they are managed primarily for hydro electricity production and irrigation for farmers meaning operators are reluctant to let the water go when it's not needed so they were near capacity before the worst of the rain fell when it did the water had to be suddenly released to stop dam walls breaking people think infrastructure is a security against flood but more of the flood waters did not come from the rain they come from the release of their dams never happened before if we know too much rain is coming dams should releasing water as gently and not impounding the last drop and then flooding people's out of their homes it's likely no one factor caused carolus flooding but human activity and inactivity. seem to have made it worse under thomas al jazeera culpable. is what's coming up on the news hour there is disillusionment in nicaragua many took part in the literacy campaign in the

nineteen eighties but say the sacrifices were in vain. after some of the misinformation that's been put out lately so reassurance how the u.k. government plans to keep medicine and food coming in if it can't get a break the deal of the world's most distinctive sport starts at an unexpected dimension a church in mexico sport coming up a tent. binny's being skylines by the time. or as the sun sets in the city of angels. hello there it's looking super wet over taiwan at the moment so thanks to this blob of cloud here that's been working its way towards the north and looks like it may develop into a feature as we head through the next few days but whether it does a lot is still going to deliver some very heavy downpours across many parts of

taiwan the southern parts of china will also see plenty of heavy rain as we will have a policy of the philippines the western policy of luzon looks most at risk of seeing a bit of flooding his so plenty of rain across this region not only for friday but also as we head into saturday a bit further towards the south and we've seen quite a few showers flaring over the northern parts of borneo recently those showers have been really quite violent more still to come over the next couple of days for the south though the skies do clear so for the southern parts of borneo looks fine as it does across job and into bali as well there's plenty of sunshine here for the west expect a fair few showers around singapore and further north across parts of thailand it's also looking pretty soggy over towards india and in the south it's a lot drier now that's a relief force and carol a bit further north still quite heavy downpours for some of us here and those are going to stick around as we head through the next few days so new delhi can expect to catch quite a few as we can all the way across in kolkata as well on maximums thirty three. the
