lack of like liquidity especially the lack of hard currency which basically comes from the oil revenues ok good i'm glad he has many thanks for explaining the situation to us from tripoli in the u.s. the democratic party has launched its most ambitious investigation yet into alleged obstruction of justice and abuse of office by donald trump targeting people in the president's inner circle including his family members denounced it as part of a political hoax but says he will cooperate as our white house correspondent kimberly harker's. it's a sweeping and wide ranging demand on monday the judiciary committee from the democratic controlled house of representatives ordered eighty one individuals and entities tied to u.s. president donald trump including the president's son don jr to turn over materials believed to shine a light on trump's alleged abuse of power and obstruction of justice it's

a political hoax. speaking from the white house surrounded by college football champions once again discredited the efforts to investigate his presidency but said he would comply with the committee request i cooperate all the time with everybody and you know. the document triggers what's expected to be another lengthy investigation in addition to robert muller's probe into potential trunk ties to russia this latest effort is a coordination by more than a half dozen house committees including judiciary committee chair jerry now looking into trump's decision to fire former f.b.i. director james comey as well as efforts to protect former national security advisor michael flynn it's very clear that the president should be just as it's very clear eleven hundred times he referred to the mole investigation as a witch hunt he tried to fire he tried to protect flynn from being investigated by

the by the f.b.i. you fired me in order to stop the russian think the committee's efforts will be punctuated by hearings designed to create a record of public testimony and could expose potential presidential conflicts of interest ranging from trump's hotel in washington to possible money laundering by the president's businesses and well impeachment proceedings are possible they aren't a minute no we have to do the investigations and get all this we do not now have. the evidence without before you impeach somebody you. to persuade the american public trust approval numbers have risen in recent weeks up to forty six percent and eighty eight percent of republicans still backed the president that's why the investigations by democrats in the house of representatives are designed to be intentionally slow it's an effort to pick apart donald trump's presidency and

illustrate a pattern of behavior that at minimum in the court of public opinion could hurt trump's chances for re-election kimberly healthy at al-jazeera washington. but as well as opposition leader who has called on his supporters to keep protesting against president nicolas maduro was a was mauled by crowds after returning to caracas from a tour of his last american allies is that he got of support after a failed us that attempt to bring aid into venezuela president has threatened to arrest one day for breaking a travel ban or the u.s. has warned any action against him will have consequences you don't believe god will or i want to last people of venezuela is that a shred of fear they threatened only of us here they threaten the real jail. and well i'll tell you something it will not be through threats but they will hold

of the united states the gentleman to whom i refer as at the devil marquis came here. doing all the talking as if he owned the world i think we could call a psychiatrist to analyze yesterday's statement made by the president of the united states but says that she is alive and well citing health and education programs and the continued redistribution of wealth begun by his predecessor but even his supporters admit that is no charge that he doesn't have the same charisma or political astuteness he continues to talk of the future well aware of the mounting risks to his government. but honestly i want peace for venezuela we all want peace for venezuela stop the drums of war stop the threats of invasion let venice relist say with one voice that we want peace we want to be how well the two men shared similar politics the world has changed or prices have slumped and venezuela has left wing allies in the region have largely disappeared

a construction firm avoid a corruption trial when she was attorney general it was china's annual event to showcase the strength of the country but the news coming out of the national people's congress is not as strong as china's rules would like the world's second largest economy is expected to post its slowest growth in almost three decades as it struggles with debts and a trade war with the united states has premier league chuang expects the economy to grow by six to six point five percent this year strong by international standards but not by china's from beijing trying to you tells us how they plan to turn things around. we're in beijing's tenement square and behind me is the great hall of the people and inside about three thousand of the country's most powerful communist party members and leaders have gathered to hear the direction of the country for this year and one of the main takeaway is that we have been waiting for is the g.d.p. last year it was six point six percent which is already the lowest economic growth

that we've seen from china since one nine hundred ninety well this year it's even lower it's six percent to six point five percent and it's very much in line with what many economists here have been expecting in recent months we've seen some disappointing consumption figures and what china has been trying to do is maintain stable growth while at the same time reducing its reliance on debt and some people are saying look some of those measures have been too harsh and now the government is under pressure to swing the other way to stimulate the economy and some things that we're expecting out of this national people's congress for example is a lowering of the income tax as well as the lowering of the mount of pension that employees are expected to pay another interesting was leakage also mentioned he acknowledged that the trade war with the united states united states has had a negative impact on china's business activity and that's something that we haven't heard many government leaders being very candid about but going forward there will be many other things that they will be talking about during this national people's congress that we're talking about health care improving access to quality improving

that the underlying problem with the trump trade strategy and it really is a lack of strategy india just does not rise to the level of importance in the united states trade problem it's supported by the ping country our total trade deficit with china is about two and a half percent of our trade deficit with the world the big problems that we have are was not only china but also the big surplus countries including the european union and japan does of the countries that we ought to be trying to solve this problem with it's the let's make a deal approach the trump trade strategy i think in part reflects the fact that he's a bully india is a relatively poor country they don't have a lot of resources and he thinks that he can push them around but that doesn't mean it's going to provide any significant jobs here in the united states for working

people we're not going to rebuild manufacturing by cutting our imports from china from india by five and a half billion dollars we have an eight hundred fifty billion dollar trade deficit is going to go up about ten percent in two thousand and eighteen will get the numbers on wednesday of this week that's the problem. algeria's antigovernment protests are growing with students boycotting classes to get out onto the streets i'm great about president beautifully. to run for a fifth term even though he has promised to quit if we elected next month it's a fake it has been in power for more than twenty he is rarely been seen in public since suffering a stroke and twenty. the netherlands has recalled its ambassador from tehran over the killing of two iranian dissidents on dutch soil from his bloc said it was a direct response to a similar move by iran that accuses iranian government of being involved in the murder of two opposition figures in twenty fifteen and twenty. something
