11:02 am
actions by the president to distract us from the critical work to hold this administration accountable to the inhumane conditions at the border that is separating children from their loved ones and caging them up and the legal horrific conditions this country was founded on the radical idea that we are created equal and endowed by our creator with. inalienable rights and yes we have a long way before we fully live up to those values it is for this reason precisely that we have to take action when a president is openly violating the oath he took to the constitution of the united states and the core values we aspire to as marsa luther king said all we say to america is to be true to what you say on paper but then a crime is not letting go he's calling on the 4 women to apologize to america for

what he describes as the foul language they used and the terrible things they've said a white house correspondent can really help. these are people that in my opinion hate our country despite widespread outrage and accusations of xenophobia u.s. president donald trump on monday escalated his twitter tirade against 4 democratic congresswoman from diverse backgrounds arguing they should return to where they came from if you're not happy here then you can leave scars i'm concerned if you hate our country. if you're not happy here you could leave trump's comments follow a series of tweets sent over 2 days attacking democratic party representatives alexandria cast your cortez of new york omar of minnesota where she did to leave of michigan at a on a press lee of massachusetts of the group only omar is foreign born but all are u.s. citizens democratic house speaker nancy pelosi announced
11:04 am
a resolution condemning trump's tweets as the congresswoman fired back this is simply a disruption and a distraction from the callous chaotic and corrupt culture of this administration all the way down i am not surprised at what he's doing. but i also know that we're focused on making it better because we don't leave the things that we love and when we love this country what that means is that we proposed the solutions to fix it we love all people in this country despite pushback from democrats congressional republicans have been slow to can down one senator charged crossed a line another one of the few black republicans in congress accused of using racially offensive language but another top republican senator defended trump's
11:05 am
attacks on the democratic congresswoman their socialist they are anti semitic they stand for all the things that most americans disagree with one analyst argues all this is part of trump's reelection strategy and the president believes that he got elected because he talked about the war he talked about the immigration he talked about the muslim being and so what we're seeing is donald trump $2.00 for his part donald trump denies any racial atomised boasts of his record of lowering unemployment particularly among people of color and despite the shock of millions who abhor donald trump's latest statements there exists in the united states millions more who support the president's attacks can really help at al-jazeera the white house where jennifer appear on c.n.n. is the co-founder of republican women for progress she blames the republican leadership for letting donald trump go this fall. this is no surprise republicans
11:06 am
have been constantly tested under this administration and they consistently fail when it comes to leadership issues like this what's worse than their typical silence on trump's davis' defense of language is how they're trying to victim blame here and how they're trying to talk about how these women they don't agree with their political positions but you know this doesn't rise to racism or you know they're silent or like lindsey graham they're doubling down on this type of rhetoric you know as a republican it is despicable to me it is shameful and i am ashamed of our republican leaders and our republican leadership that they have let this go on for so long and created this environment where donald trump continues to feel like he can create that he can treat american citizens like this so our hope is that we can get more elected officials who can actually serve the people while republicans like
11:07 am
us and republicans for progress why we keep speaking out as we don't want to lose the party to racists like this we don't want to lose the party to donald trump and we want to take back that party and create a new party that can actually stand up for immigrant stand up for people of color and women and minorities and you know we just aren't seeing that with our current public and leadership and led by donald trump because they are owning all of the racism donald trump has brought to america maureen is full cost in the pool as rescue a search for dozens missing in flash floods and landslides at least 69 people on them to have died in sol's days for so many homes during 3 days of nonstop monsoon rains so we mistrust the reports now in the southern district of possum. the commies family in the village are in mourning 16 year old he was drowned while out with his friends in the city of bare ground he had great dreams of being an

11:09 am
disastrous times they feel exploited because of their cost or position in a party society and this is one of the poorest communities in the path to call the most r.'s one of the so-called untouchables now every year they get flooded and every year they say that they have not been getting any help from the government. and right now they've been trying to access a local school which they say has been locked despite the fact that this entire area was flooded for at least 3 days we went to the school and found the classrooms long to request them about it was the hardest they've been badly affected you are organizing an investigation team but they'll start working as soon as possible the parties are relieved that the floodwaters have receded and they can get on with their lives they want the government to build new infrastructure as well as improve

the amount of assistance but fear their peace will be forgotten until disaster strikes again. district in the path and staying in south asia at least $24.00 people are feared dead after heavy rain and flash floods in the neelam valley in pakistan administered kashmir several people are still missing the floods damaged roads and more than 250 homes officials warn the death toll may rise as rescuers struggled to reach affected areas. at least 10 people have died in floods in bangladesh monsoon rains swept away houses displacing thousands of people some of the worst damage has been in refugee camps and cox's bazar least a 1000000 rocking the refugees from neighboring 1000000. and torrential rain in 7 chinese provinces is causing major flooding in southern and eastern areas rescue teams are making their way through submerged towns in search of people needing help flash floods destroyed roads and houses and more than 80000 people have been forced from their homes. now members of the european parliament are due to vote in
11:11 am
a few hours on whether a woman should get the used top job for the very 1st time on the lanes in line to be president of the european commission but she's facing opposition germany's defense minister needs a majority of votes in parliament to replace john boehner younker proposed policies include a fair minimum wage and a deal on asylum seekers. in the last 5 years more than 17000 people have drowned in the mediterranean which has become one of the deadliest border in the world at sea there is the judy to save lives thank you john hall joins us now from strasbourg german so just talk us through what sort of obstacles urson have on the land actually faces now. well her chief obstacle course is skeptical m.e.p.
11:12 am
as inside the european parliament quite a lot of them who she's got to convince to back her center right german defense minister as the european commission president for the next 5 years she's just been addressing the parliament you saw humane borders she talked about this was the humane face of. lennon and she also put up all sorts of other tantalizing ambitious some say overambitious prejudices pledges and promises tough on the rule of law big taxes for multinationals a massive climate green deal to be launched in her 1st 100 years aimed at these promises of wooing particularly the liberals the left and the greens all of whom she will need if she's to get not just over the line with the majority of 374 but over the 400 mark to have a good strong mandate she went on to make all sorts of other pledges and promises as well among them potentially revolutionary move to give this parliament the power
11:13 am
to propose its own legislation for the 1st time and promises to reform the electoral process that got her into this position in the 1st place and it is that it is quite potentially her biggest sort of core issue and the basis of criticism aimed at her because many p.c. ursula found a lens name here as a subversion of democracy she was not one of the preferred candidates put up by the parties who campaigned in the european elections for the votes of actual real people know her name came out of 50 hours of torturous negotiations among the leaders of the european union a sort of exercise of the top down closed door backroom politics redolent of a past era that many people want to see erased from the way the european union does business a knife edge vote it will be at the end of the afternoon here in strasbourg this parliament is going to make a sweat for it if indeed they approve her at all yeah and that's an interesting
11:14 am
point don't know what happens if she is rejected by what happens next. it would be unprecedented frankly for a commission nominee in a position approved by all of the leaders of the european union but then rejected by the european parliament and almost certainly would lead to significant policy chaos a summer of institutional paralysis there is no obvious plan b. candidate they'd have a month in theory the leaders of the e.u. to come up with another name but as a no plan b. candidate who would satisfy the delicate sort of balance of power of geography of gender among the so-called package of 4 top jobs the commission president the council the central bank and the foreign affairs portfolio so her rejection could well lead to one of those other jobs being torpedoed nobody frankly at this point knows with a series of big decisions and crises not these bricks it at the end of october it could be deeply unsettling all right to turn the whole there and strasbourg turn up
11:15 am
thank you. for breaking out as they are when we come back. if you had it is that the deal has. avoided that you haven't developed a nuclear weapon to use top diplomat says she's committed to the 2050 nuclear deal and calls iran's breaches in significant. european leaders take action against turkey over its search for oil and gas off the coast of cyprus more than sticks. we have something of an east west split in the weather across europe at the moment the worst of the weather the weather is live it was these eastern parts but the light the a shot was they will be down across central and eastern parts of the mediterranean over the next couple days you see high pressure for the west so
11:16 am
that's going to keep things settle at least for now to be some rain pushing into the northwest as we go on through this week so the british isles will see some wet weather there we go with that cloud and rain just around central parts of the mensa gracing some pretty nasty weather at the moment and those showers long spells of rain push up through ball garia into remain yes some wet weather there to into ukraine up towards western parts of russia and around the baltic states is going to stay pretty wet here was we go on through wednesday i think their little draw for greece by wednesday the wet weather is pushing over towards to be sliding over towards cyprus for the latter part of the week central areas perhaps a little on the gray side but we are going to see a stunning loss the dry here and there's that wetter weather started to push into oland and scotland through wednesday but 25 celsius in london on wednesday too bad 28 in paris but 35 in madrid well about africa here we are largely dried lots of settled weather coming through a little bit of fair weather clouds acing with the region but it's just a law she settled for northern parts but she's day i went today. the weather

house of representatives is planning a vote to formally condemn donald trump's tweets telling 4 democratic congresswoman to go home the targets of the tweets are all u.s. citizens of hit back calling his comments hate filled bullying. more rain is forecast in the pool as rescue a search for dozens missing in flash floods and landslides of the 69 people on them to have died and thousands forced from their homes during 3 days of nonstop monsoon rain. and members of the european parliament due to vote in a few hours on whether a woman should get that news top job for the 1st time germany's snuff on delay and wants to be president of the european commission. turkey says european union sanctions won't stop it from drilling for oil and gas off the coast of cyprus a u foreign ministers have suspended talks with turkey over an air transport agreement and called for the european investment bank to review turkish lending or turkish control of the northern part of cyprus is not internationally recognized greek cypriots control the south of the mediterranean island with some cost the only
11:19 am
joins us live now from istanbul turkey says it will continue drilling despite the prospect of a u.s. sanctions so just bring us up to date with what's been happening to them. well this turkey's sides reiterated that it is the size of to continue its efforts and them in this and mediterranean for looking for energy resources because turkey as as a country that has a coast and long coast in the eastern mediterranean turkey claims that the greek side for its export oil explorations in the sea all 4 laps with turkey's sea shelf and also turkey accuses the greeks operate for excluding the turkey which is the north of the island as a south independent state which is on the recognized by turkey for ignoring the turkish side for it so this is the case but when you look at the sanctions required by the e.u.
11:20 am
council the heaviest the harshest seems to be the comprehensive air transport a great meant. which would work on the disadvantage of turkey but however this agreement was initiated a couple of years ago by the request of the e.u. and i talked to the sources who are involved in the every nation industry and they told me that turkish foreign minister although they withdrew from this agreement a couple of months ago around february or march by saying that turkey would never sign the agreement with 28 e.u. member states including cyprus the greek cyprus because turkey doesn't recognize greek cyprus. as a state so that seems to be the case then there are financial sanctions that there are planned to be imposed on turkey seems to be not very heavy for turkey but turkey always has a card which is the refugee crisis turkey is keeps using this card against the e.u.
11:21 am
but let me say that the turkish sokrates proposed a plan to join to establish a joint committee with the greek cyprus through the u.n. envoy sent today the greek side with the others are discussing this we'll be hearing from them to sort of thank you. iran's foreign minister zarif says the door is open to negotiations if president donald trump lift sanctions on tehran serif has told us media he does not believe they'll be a military confrontation with washington i do not believe the president front wants war but i believe there are people around him who wouldn't mind and do you think they have a sense where you worry that they have more sway than the i think president trump has been on the record that they are trying but i don't think they'll succeed because at the end of the day i think prudence we're prepared people know that iran is a big proud country and we will not take
11:22 am
a military attack likely with his comments came as european foreign ministers call for dialogue between the u.s. and iran to try to save the 2050 nuclear deal leaders held talks in brussels in an attempt to salvage the agreement which the e.u. foreign policy chief insists is still alive when it came reports now from brussels . for more than a year the e.u. has tried to preserve the nuclear agreement with iran devising schemes to help the tech run government reduce the impact of u.s. sanctions but now that deal is in danger like never before we are looking to find a way to preserve the nuclear deal which we think is the best way of keeping the middle east as a whole nuclear weapon free. iran is still a good year away from developing a nuclear weapon we think there are still some closing thoughts more window to keep the deal alive one of the brokers of the original deal known as the j c piro a is clear about what must happen next we want to see iran going back to full compliance
11:23 am
at is that has been in this in these years. but we note that technically all the steps that have been taken and that we regret have been taken are reversible so we hope and we invite you to reverse the steps and go back to full compliance with the agreements but how much sway do european voices have although the strength of feeling here in brussels is pretty clear no amount of words from the e.u. alone can compel the u.s. and iranian government's to negotiate with each other for that to happen there has to be a willingness on both sides to give ground and on that the view from the government into is clear. what one a big power that is a bully well then we have to stand up to it it must stop being a bully we have always believed in talks always right this hour right this moment if they stop the oppression they stop the belligerence if they lift sanctions return to the table return to logic we are ready so iran denounces the current us
11:24 am
administration while maintaining its commitment to the nuclear deal it negotiated with the previous one and yet iran is also operating outside the terms of that deal in some areas for several weeks iranian your anian enrichment has exceeded agreed limits. all of which has emboldened the trump administration with the us president recently warning officials in tehran they were treading on very dangerous territory which means that on the face of it this meeting on its own risks achieving little and over while iran is technically in breach of its commitments under the nuclear agreement dominic came out 0 brussels. the former south african president jacob zuma is expected back at a state commission hearing on corruption later on tuesday on monday he told the inquiry that he is the target of a conspiracy zuma was forced from office last year accused of overseeing the
