back in ninety three. there is for lesson one girl my sister. and we came over that little rise over there and burned down here it's in the black car fall along side alice. and we didn't know it was it's i. the driver said they are right there. and he said no we didn't know where they were. we kept on walking and they kept face of us in the car. and they kept training at us to get in. and we refused her. a hundred yards that way. and they offered us some way screaming jello. restaurant in tents. and i had a screen there too we finished we all loaded back up in the car but they never went back the way they came they went around away from the reason i fell asleep.

and i never will go up until we are coming up to. the moon i can still. win after a good old not by relays i was good now like i said my dad did no good for him in the new fears in the churches they did geared how they got the children.

i believe it was february two years ago. those on the board sessions that are choosing united church and chisholm township of the book five miles out here and my first set were the sessions meeting effect in there was two other members and the minister and myself and the minister was going through the agenda that we were to talk about him she mentioned the residential school system. and all of a sudden i started to shake and broke down crying i had no idea why. i didn't know what this was about a tall. and from that i ended up going to my doctor and for some depressed help pretty pression and he referred me to a psychologist in north bay. and took her probably twenty minutes to determine that the biggest part of my problem was from that incident fifty years earlier. but i

was to the station there in years e.m.p. and we had a territorial jail there which most times i was in jail guarded night and in this day shift i happened to be the same to whatever came on through the door it would be sometime between november of sixty four and april of sixty five on a day shift i was assigned to assist an agent from the residential school system to pick up two children from a family in fort smith northwest territories i went to the door of this home and the woman who lived there knew why we were there to know she know that there are two two daughters who are being sent to residential schools the mother was crying both children were crying probably six and eight years old. and i took the six year old from her arms actually and turned them over to the agent. he jumped in his car

and cart took off to the airport in aerospace and the end of that night i saw i never saw him i don't remember the children's names but i'll never forget the price . at the time i didn't like the idea of taking kids away from their family bothered me in person being in the r.c.m.p. had no alternative who couldn't complain about it. the only thing i knew about the in the uterus a dental schools was placed. the good formal education i didn't see any problem but . since then i've come to realize what they were a boat. heard no differently now and that's part of the story that i want to tell. it took up maybe five minutes of my life. and i buried it back in

sixty four sixty five. and both fifty years later it came back to haunt me. here in boston. we were sitting at this at this very spot i'm not sure if it was exactly the same table we're sitting at this very spot. at a board meeting. you remember ron you were on the board at the time and and the board at that time had decided that they wanted to study this book called a healing journey for us all and part of that took us into residential schools

well let me let me say first clearly that i think the residential school history within canada is one of the. the greatest tragedies if not the greatest tragedy in our whole. history as a country. it's. the damage that's been done to so many lives and. the damage that it continues to be done and that will be felt it generationally. is is just it's beyond one that we it's hard to even take it in.

presidential schools are schools that were set up by the government of canada and there are other countries that have the same thing but it was a policy that was put into place to bring all as many indigenous people as possible into these schools to educate them into the european way of life to take you away from your culture your language all your traditions and that's what it's about. in order to sever those ties in your culture in your language they had to separate children from families and communities we wore uniforms you all dress the same you had your hair cut the same you were all one and it was to assimilate us to make sure we didn't have an indian in us when we left here.

the focus of the church or recently we had say prayers and things like that. we weren't allowed to talk in our language we had to speak english but. it wasn't indoctrination like he didn't put us in one room and he just indoctrinate us all day long or anything like that it's just the way the routine of the place it was him it was in the routine that in in speak anything but english. you went to the white man's school you went the way men church you were the weight men's clothes all those are built in was in the classroom

lecture anything it was there was ingrained in the system there's a living years they. it was taken from them there was no mother no father figures no he said good night or come and see you if you are sick personal didn't know me look everybody except that they put is in a big player i'm similar to this dining room and we sort of the looked after ourselves. what was going on across this country that so many children were being taken so

many children were being put into residential schools and my thing is if if they were such a wonderful school they were models everybody should a had a non-native europeans everybody should have had a residential school not just one race of people is a very racist policy you know but that's what the intent was it was to kill the indian in the child and pretty much they've done it so you get punished for being who you are. it's a school where you were punished were heard least of interaction. to the punishments were. severe. and punishment for things you never did you never did. i i don't think i ever did anything wrong that would deserve

a strap never and you got it. you never knew it. when you went over the line they let you know by giving you d.d. . beating so it's a symbol but it was more than that it was terrorism that accompanied each beating. or tell me when you have children put in an electric chair for entertainment or for punishment lesser crimes against humanity and yet different things and i've heard of other guys have an electric currents and they brought us into a place they could. in the press room where most of the beating is by no name. and we went in or one at a time and got a good shellacking with the letters leather strap and. everybody. was afraid of it but. everybody knew they were going to get it sooner or later and just remember them crying there was a lot of crying in this place

a lot of tears. and yet we find out it was like. thousands upon thousands of children that were being abused despite the beatings and the ferocity of some of the beatings we still defied the authority to run away. the boy say how he's over sixty boys. displayed this number each of us are lonely beyond a spear. from within we each had our own battles to fight. we were lost lonely scared and confused where biggest battle was to keep her secrets. her lazer shrouded in secrecy no one could know we all clicked through the new kids were being raped and molested in large numbers sodomized by

a beast. no one could know no one would ever know. i saw him in the learn had to be a nicer place so he tried to escape. way the colonel scene when ironing those caught were ferocious they had been relentlessly beaten with the other machinery belts carried by all the staff including the principal of the cane beaten until liz beamed ekotto to the earth the need money the burns down the lean way up the city streets beaten until there was silence that was the scariest despite this we ran away i believe each of us tried to least once to escape that boy's prison the hellish place with demons all of oh.

ethel and. i was a boy others. at that far and got my lesson time and time again day after day and boy and i are aware some that come live there. some even miss me somehow or. another there are came. just came out of there feeling so dirty rotten low nothing you can imagine and i thought every kid over there knew that i had what happened then me. but. i think it all happened then because none ever bothered me and i never asked what happened in there i think we all got it on fire. but it is a nasty dirty place. it's. third.

but here's where i got unless a trader. and i were staying against the wall there and he had his way with me. and i was this mother that i. see a time in my life and i felt so dirty and so so all alone. when he had me down in the boiler room and he took my clothes off. and i just stand here little guy this disgusted that what he was doing.

it's i think it's very very possible that children did die here but we'll never know assist i've heard too many different stories for it to be all lies if they're not buried here they're probably buried somewhere on the property and it's just one of those things that in time we may come across about this this we can investigate if there's any truth to it if there is anything in there. just just from the people that i know from the survivors that i know that say that yeah they remember this being something and you don't just put a window at the bottom of a basement for any for no reason.

how have you changed since you were self. charting the lives of the children of apartheid over twenty one years each story reflecting a history of dramatic social and political change twenty eight hours south africa part one on al jazeera. this is a really fabulous news for one of the best i've ever worked in there is a unique sense of bonding where everybody teams in. something i feel every time i get on the chair every time i interview someone we're often working around the clock to make sure that we bring events as i currently as possible to the viewer that's what people expect of us and that's what i think we really do well.

in the heart of the amazon believe in families but their lives in peril to harvest presume. that cancer in the congo to the capital is an even more dangerous challenge. risky to believe you know. on al-jazeera. hello i'm maryam namazie and london just a quick look at the headlines now it's been revealed that u.s. president donald trump has spoken to is battling for control of the libyan capital tripoli the white house says the two spoke over the phone on monday and discussed

counterterrorism efforts in libya it's unclear why the trumpet ministration waited until friday to reveal the talks after us troops launched the offensive two weeks ago to take tripoli which is held by the u.s. backed government mahmud up to why it has the reaction from tripoli people here are very angry they say that there is a contradiction in the america and the situation towards libya over a week ago the state secretary. in a television interview said that have to should step down and he should stop the military escalation which people achieved here and they were there to see if that happened but now they're very angry at this call from president tom to have that they say that this is some kind of saying take care or you're doing well and people here say that here in the square today say that it seems that oil is more important for president tom than civilians who blogs. u.s. democrats have issued a subpoena demanding the release of the full on sensitive miller report into

russian meddling an edited version was released on thursday it found numerous contacts between donald trump's presidential campaign and russian officials there was not enough evidence to charge anyone with a crime trump has described the reports as crazy and says the investigation was an illegal hoax. protest organizers in sudan say they will unveil a new civilian council on sunday which aims to take control of the country from the military they say the council will be led by technocrats thousands of people have been rallying outside the military headquarters and are tuned for more than a week since the former present a lot of bashir was removed from power and detained. well protests also continuing in algeria hundreds of thousands of demonstrators back on the streets for the ninth friday in a row protesters in the capital algiers have been chanting down with the system of

former president abdul aziz beautifully co was ousted earlier this month the protesters want all of the ruling elite to go i'll have more on that story and everything else in the news hour in twenty five minutes time do join me then by now .

i like finding old friends and winnie is what i know her by from the residential school the mohawk institute when we first went in there we were my sister and i were separated into groups and i had one older girl that took me under her wing and my sister dawn when you look after her well i don't you know when i was there i don't even remember going there i don't really remember the people that did me out but in my home i remember that. i know i was just there

so then i met this this older. person on this older girl kind of took care of me when i was growing up. and she told me when she's ready to leave because she was in twelve thirteen maybe fourteen she said that she was going to ask her mother to come and get me and think she could take me home to be her little sister. but that didn't happen because. she she. got hurt. her or her and. i think. i think somebody hit her on a tree. and i don't know i think she

died but i'm not really. sure but i don't know. anyway. i've been able to say in the last few years that they killed her and i was there. what happened to her. just. sometimes a nice dream of her she would come to me in a dream by that it hurts. talking loud. because i remember when she used to. piggyback we honor. her back and we'd run and play and. then when i got her to pick me up and. give me a hug and some even to cry. like why we should we do remember you know and.

yet. after they smashed or treat. you know that sound sometimes you can hear it on t.v. on the river shows that sound that's a song. even if a glass breaks today or how it's green. and sometimes my family get mad and. i say. that it's the sound that's it scares me and. makes me would like it. just the scene is

a drawing child who just surely with four was flailing away with his head above water in a raging river he can swim but there are risks with that unrelenting. he slips under the surface there's a reef the trying to catch him in that leaf say to breath but he knows he's going under for good. what tears run upon this child's mind knowing can imagine. those sites will go down with him the want to live as seen above in the light under surfaces of the river. as he slowly sinks his here is silky and wavy in the arms still do that ever removing so slowly and reaching for a new purpose except his will tells him to reach up. a lady's surface phase in his body has no more movement except the end of the curtain

the time was lay physically along the water going into oblivion. i left saying it come back one day and attacked those people that had attacked me and i they didn't just attack me i think they attacked every play. but. i wrote a book called our legacy and. since i wrote dead book they don't have this great desire to go back and warn me that the want they. i haven't forgiven but they're not around to forgive when i realize.

the effect that this type of government administration had on thousand people in my time. and it disgusts me that i'm a canadian and i always thought canada was the greatest country in the world. and i'm ashamed to say i'm canadian. because it we're a government it's not. the government wanted access to mineral rights mining lumbering fisheries

all natural resources that canada has and they all are on his native land of course they were here first so the government i guess determined that rather than go to war with the natives they would eliminate them. and i know from my own experience people that i've norm they were raised by whites in the residential schools so when the riff inish there their parents didn't accept them if they were native and the white community did not accept them because they were native so these people knew those hundred fifty thousand children grew up in limbo with no roots no background and no place they could call from. my new head time when i believe i went to school that day in. and it was the last

day of school in summer. everything seemed greater than the grass seemed greener the sky was blue or. it was just a great day. you come home and they're like you're a stranger i'm a stranger to them but they're a stranger to me too so i had to go find who my relatives were how was i connected to this community i knew where i came from i didn't know that but i just didn't know holly fit in. hundred fifty thousand people children were taken from their families. and as a result of that seven generations of native people grew up with no roots.

and this is my friend carol croce whom i have known for a few years and appreciate her friendship and and what kind of things she can tell us about her first nations so. having my father my aunt and my uncles. gone to residential school my father never discussed his upbringing he was silent the home that we lived in was silent around who he was and how he was raised so prior to the thirty i had no idea or no understanding of what had happened to my family and i knew that there was something up like there was something wrong but i didn't know what that was when i was finding all of these things about residential school when i was thirty and my father had already passed away my mother was still

a life and i started asking michael my aunt questions. it began to i began to realize how strange everything was and it began to see what those schools did and what the effect that we had and why my brothers and i had struggled so much with our emotional life this was wrong to teach children away from their parents and heard them into a school against their will it just blew me away and then when ron when you had the courage to stand up and say. that this was wrong and that you knew it was wrong when it happened instead of standing up and said i witnessed this in it didn't look that bad. i

can't tell you what that does for people. i really can't. and i don't care what bad things you might have done in your life for one i know it was a whole lot because you're good birds of a. they were raised that. they were complete you respect. but what you don't hear about is what happens to adult people when their kids are ripped away. and those kids come back broken but they come back broken to two adults that are insane and that's the other half. so nobody is ok.

but thanks and ask for the survivors to stand up for a moment to be here with us survivors we stand. with children and grandchildren are survivors please stand up as well things began to change when the survivors of the residential school experience went to court beginning of the one

nine hundred eighty s. but not really successful until the mid one nine hundred ninety s. when the courts finally ruled that they could sue the government for the abuses that went on in schools and the churches as well the root of the t r c as in survivors themselves survivors said we demand attention and we demand recognition for what it is and was that we experience in the residential schools i had a problem. i had a hearing problem our mark our teeth. i would not. put it on she. was for it so that it. was. just a supernatural beast and. we were the recipient of their most private moments in their life often

and we as listeners had to be there for them because we weren't just representing the commission we were actually representing a hearing of the entire country. well as a commissioner for the truth and reconciliation commission listening to the stories of residential school survivors it was difficult emotionally very challenging but there's no doubt that when they cried often we did as commissioners we always made it a point to repeat back to the survivors what it was that they had told us because we wanted them to know that we had heard them and that we believed them. so. please be aware anything it took me.

to publish. to my buddy for the book that i put. i could i could tell my grandchildren. like hello what a great privilege of north that he loved. but with my own jailor it i can't. it hurts it's certainly the think boat. what i missed. it was a very emotional. very emotional time because the more you got into it the more the more things started to come up about residential school that you would start to remember that you'd listen to everybody and. it was a very very difficult time so i was involved right from that right from when the lawsuit started so the truth and reconciliation commission of canada was asked to

assist the survivors to move from an air of being victims of the residential school experience to becoming. involved in a process of establishing a better relationship with the government and with the church as the story of the truth of residential schools in this country is a story about the resilience of children they have supported me in this work but at great loss to the relationships we could have had and which we will now try to recapture. put.

residential schools there's. real week in canada. this is not. only about. resilience there's a whole lot of truth said to has been shared. it's also about reconciliation and there is not going to be any true theory conciliation in my shine or in new york time it's going to take. two or three or four generations. to work all this out to get is the history books and have it become commonplace that the guy next door knows where that been the future of canada will students and be told that this is not an integral part. of everything we are as a country everything we are as canadians that is

a promise we need credit here all of us to get. through the closing ceremonies of the truth and reconciliation commission had a five kilometer walk from gatineau quebec to city hall in autumn while it was approximately seven thousand people participating. many natives many non-natives there was different church groups and civic groups people just bringing their families out to participate and support the native americans. by the time the commission's work ended almost seven years later that we had established the credibility of the commission only in the eyes of survivors but in the eyes of the country the truth and reconciliation commission has brought an image of canada

forward that now enclose this history. the national center for truth and reconciliation was created by the truth and reconciliation commission in order to preserve. all of the materials that were collected under the mandate to the tier see. more than just preserving these materials and survivors right across the country of asked us to ensure that their statements and the other material that was collected finds their way into the hands of educators into the hands of researchers so we have a very important and critical role in continuing to expose the truth ensure canadians understand the truth of what's happened in this country and for the contribute ongoing understanding healing and reconciliation in this country.

canadians no longer have an excuse though which i think is one of the most critical things about this process of truth or reconciliation. be i don't know or i didn't know really is no longer defensible. just. go. with the. if you see the. very. being made here in the.

i'm very hopeful i'm still a bit scared as to what's happening and what could continue to happen i want to see action i want less talk and more action so we all know that something is changing in terms of healing for the native folk and for white and brown and yellow canada. fun fun fun fun fun fun. fun fun fun fun fun fun. fun. fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun are a lot of the storm players who have not. heard from him. and some. of.

them. from. the bay when there is unique they're expressing their. their culture and their. good and genuine things aboard. the color of the outfits for. the dances the songs.

when every residential school survivor is healed i'll be. going nuts that's how it went for me. until they're healed i will be and i'll keep talking to anybody who would listen. there's always hope without hope we're done. now the house has to be hope. and i look at my grandchildren i think there's a lot of hope. i see positive things for i don't. hello

a big change in temperature usually is accompanied by some sort of stormy weather now certainly case in perth is that cloud went through the temperature drop quite a core dramatically but the weather was also still be damaging the say that that same potential exists because the a lot of clouds actually

a cold front and he's already dropped the temperature in person seventy has risen reflected on saturday's full cost but ahead of it is still great warms the south australia new south wales down to victoria these temperatures are well above what they should be particularly in adelaide so when this goes sure yes potentially it could be pretty nasty stormy once more and we lose eleven degrees in day today so sunday is a cooler day but there are showers and skies storms potentially in new south wales and in victoria by which time well purse rather brightened up warmed up a little bit to about the twenty mark mark it will not happen you know straight here doesn't necessarily come across the tasman sea crosses violently indeed at this time the more lies get weather from further south so curling into the south island of new zealand there is wind and rain christchurch about twenty the suns are snorkeling and the temp is roughly the same this is all barreling slowly northward subatomic it to sunday that rain has less cold behind in christchurch and it's kind of the scars up on the north lawn.

nothing. like a senator. al-jazeera . hello i'm maryanne demasi this is the news hour live from london coming up the u.s.

president's intervention in the libya crisis it's revealed donald trump has spoken to the warlord behind an offensive to take control of the capital tripoli. u.s. democrats subpoena the full uncensored russian investigation reports is the focus now turns to where the president trump obstructed justice sudan's protest organizers say they'll soon unveil a new interim council which they want to take over from the military and ukraine's president petro poroshenko and his rival the comedian law to me is the lenski faceoff for the last time ahead of sunday's ronnell. on polar east with your sport which crushes out in monaco but the king of clay is still going strong rafael nadal wins again to reach the semifinals of the monte carlo marston's.

we begin with the latest diplomatic maneuvering around the crisis in libya it's been revealed that u.s. president donald trump has spoken to her after it was battling for control of the libyan capital tripoli the white house says the two spoke over the phone on monday and discussed counterterrorism efforts in libya it's unclear why the trumpet ministration waited until friday to reveal the talks after us troops launched the offensive two weeks ago to take tripoli which is held by the un backed government mike hanna brings us the latest from washington one must remember that two weeks ago the secretary of state or sharply criticizing huffed and his forces for their latest. offensive and certainly this is now a massive turnaround with the president fern italy for hafter and effectively giving him support and praising him thanking him for his efforts against terror and

also thanking him for what the white house describes as protecting libya's oil resources now the internationally recognized government in tripoli regard this as a theft of libya's oil resources so certainly this is a very puzzling question a very puzzling turn around why it's being kept quiet for the week well there was a u.n. security council meeting thursday in which to everybody's surprise the u.s. refused to back a resolution introduced by the u.k. asking for a cease fire in tripoli in libya thereby agreeing with the russians who had objected to the resolution because it mentioned have to has forces by name as the aggressors in the conflict so that was perhaps an indication that was the first sign that there has been a shift in u.s. policy not even a shift a complete somersault from posing as forces to now apparently siding with

egypt saudi arabia and the u.a.e. in supporting the huffed initiative. mahmoud joins us live now from the libyan capital and has there been any reaction to this conversation between president trunk and khalifa haftar there. will people here seem to be angry about this support from president trump to have they say especially those demonstrators whole took to the streets today and to diminish squares in civil cities and the worst of libya especially in the capital tripoli and the city of misrata the major cities in the west of libya they say that there is some kind of contradiction in the american situation libya specially they were happy when the state secretary mike pump you in an interview in a television interview said that have to must set stand down and must stop the

military escalation on tripoli but when they heard that there is support from president trump to have via this call and it's kind of saying get to have to take care or are you doing well people here have become very angry say that they're wondering whether or not there is more important than people's blood here in tripoli as you know money and that over two hundred people were killed since have to launch at this military oftens of one tripoli on april fourth many of them are innocent civilians women and children we covered last week. people who covered. the random rockets landed in residential areas killing several innocent civilians and as you know that have to have his forces fighting who they are fighting forces loyal to to the u.s.

and the recognized government which is recognized by the united states which is also supported by the united states and on the other hand. those who are being bombarded by have his forces on the southern outskirts of tripoli i mean i'm speaking about the forces though and. the government the government forces the are big part of them is in muscles forces from the city of misrata that defeated. in two thousand and sixteen in the city of said it lost seven hundred fighters for the battle for for the senate against isom so many people here are wondering is president tom. prison terms judgment was have to build is built on credible information on the ground the daoud that because it's have to fighting terrorism in tripoli then wondering his fighting forces do have to do and the government has been killing innocent civilians by. and he is now losing ground and

losing momentum. thank you with the latest from tripoli mahmud headed joining us there also for more on this story we can speak to jeffrey feltman he's the former undersecretary general for political affairs at the united nations he joins us live from washington thank you for taking the time to speak to us on the news hour the white house has revealed that this conversation has taken place between u.s. president donald trump and khalifa after all we possibly entering a new more dangerous phase in the libyan conflict for after to receive this sort of recognition from the u.s. president. yes i think we have polluter facing a more dangerous stage there is high risk of a real battle for tripoli escalating as we don't know what took place in the actual phone call we have is the white house readout and headstart would certainly use that readout if not the actual words of the president as words of encouragement and

i don't think it's a coincidence that this phone call to replace apparently on monday and on tuesday was have third started is in despair when it shelling tripoli civilian neighborhood so i think it's very discouraging particularly after such a strong positive statement from secretary of state might come peo only a week earlier calling on a halt to the violence calling on have to stop as advance in calling for the parties to return to a political process so i suggesting that the white house is at odds with the pentagon and the state department illness when i can't help but draw a comparison between the link the detailed positive in terms of in terms of its intention statement from secretary of state i'm pale from a week ago compared to the white house readout today of what they're saying in the monday phone call one i can't help but wonder if this is linked to president cc's

visit to the oval office that there was a discussion perhaps between president sisi of egypt and have to ari which sisi was able to persuade trump that have to our backing have to or was a more promising approach than trying to have a peaceful political process after appears to have under underestimated the force that would stand in his way for control of tripoli which evidently he is unable to do it without some sort of external assistance does president trump's current involvement now increase the chances of an escalated regional intervention. i think with quote the police the readout of the trump phone call does is it takes the leverage of other hands that those that want to try to save lives and those that want to try to build a political process because you're right i think joe have tara did realize that that the battle for tripoli is going to be tougher than here expected expected to waltz in relatively easily the way he had with some of the some of the towns and

cities in the in the south that's not happening and i think that the defenders of tripoli also realize it's a pretty it's a pretty tough battle so there was that there was hope that one could find a face saving way to move the leaders away from a military approach and back toward a political process but i think the the white house readout has undermined the chances for the promise he has undermined the chances to try to save lives at this important juncture but we've also seen disappointing diplomacy or perhaps the lack of it from the united nations the security council did not support a cease fire in libya should the efforts instead be concentrated on preventing violation of the u.n. arms embargo because as we can see external back is a clearly continuing to supply weapons and support to that part is inside libya i mean i think the security council is abdicated its responsibility for peace and security when it comes to libya there are resolutions on the book the call for

backing the u.n. special representative the sun so i mean there are resolutions calling for an arms embargo on all parties the security council is not reinforcing those resolutions the security council has failed to even issue strong press condemnations of the military assault on the trip with i think the security council has has failed in its responsibility to the libyan people to the international to the international community in this apocrypha see how can the security council backed resolution say they're supporting you in the political process at the same time they refuse to even. condemn with words military assault that would undermine. thank you very much for sharing your views with us jeffrey feltman former undersecretary of state for political affairs at un thank you. on our top democrats in the u.s. have rejected a proposal by attorney general william barr which would allow them access to

a less redacted version of special counsel robert lott as russia investigation reports earlier democrats filed a subpoena demanding the release of the full uncensored miller report comes just twenty four hours after a heavily edited version of the report was made public president has described the report as crazy and says the investigation was an illegal hoax can really help it has more now from washington as u.s. president donald trump arrived ferg golf game at his club in florida back in washington democratic members of congress renew demands and issued a subpoena for an unproductive version of special counsel robert muller's report by may first on a working visit to northern ireland during a congressional recess nancy pelosi the top democrat in the u.s. house of representatives again play down talk of impeaching the president that this time she didn't rule it out the congress of the united states will honor its oath of office to protect and defend the constitution of the united states to protect

our democracy we believe that the first article article one the legislative branch has a responsibility.
