inform motivate and inspire that convinced me this was the conservation chance of a life. the world is watching. al-jazeera. al-jazeera. welcome i'm giving up all and you're watching the news hour live from it's good to have your company coming up in the next 60 minutes the u.s. house votes to condemn what it's. racist comments by president donald trump. if we are united on the inside no body will divide us from the outside. germany's defense minister is confirmed in the european union's top job.

if you study accuses the u.k. government of discriminating against visa applicants from africa. and south africa's former president says he received death threats after giving evidence at a corruption inquiry. we begin in washington where in the last few minutes the house of representatives has voted to condemn quote racist comments by president donald trump the resolution was approved on a largely party line vote of 24287 with only 4 of publicans backing the democratic measure the vote allows trump's attacks are follows trump's attacks on 4 democratic congress women all of them minorities began his criticism of them on twitter over the weekend and has refused to let up despite growing criticism both at home and abroad we begin with this report from patty calling. it wasn't just on

twitter in person and on camera u.s. president donald trump continued to stoke controversy can do what they want they can leave they can stay but they should love our country and they should work for the good of our country he's talking about these 4 new members of congress he singled them out for criticism telling them to go back to their own countries even though they are american but because of what they look like many say those are blatantly racist comments the president responded on twitter writing those tweets were not racist i don't have a racist bone in my body the so-called vote to be taken is a democratic congress came republicans should not show weakness and fall into their trap this should be a vote on the filthy language statements and lies told by the democrat congresswoman just over a dozen republicans of criticize the president but the leadership of the party is still clearly with him right now all races and i think the tone of all of this is

not good for the country but it's coming from all different illogical points of view that's the point to single out any segment of the us i think is a mistake democrats just aren't buying that but silence is an endorsement equivocation is an endorsement blaming both sides is an endorsement there is no gray area here. there is a very clear right and wrong on the speaker of the house nancy pelosi one further using candid and controversial language on the floor of the house these comments from the white house are disgraceful and disgusting and the experiments are racist how shameful to hear him continue to defend those offensive words words that we have all heard him repeat not only about our members but about countless others throughout his presidency of the controversies piled up republicans have been unwilling to go against this president that seems unlikely to change anytime soon

be calling al-jazeera washington and mike hanna is in washington d.c. for us so mike tell us more about how this vote played out. well as you mentioned in the introduction only 4 republicans voted with all the democrats in the house to rebuke president trump for his racist language the republicans who voted against the motion nod going on record as accepting these controversial remarks by president trump a very rare occasion in which republicans have been forced to formally go on record in defense of the president certainly this a very significant but a significant vote that does not go as democrats believe it should on the president trumps record mocking him formally by the house as a man who made racist comments president trump has been pushing back for the past 3 days since the origine made the statement he called on republicans to vote against

this motion insisting that to support it in any way would be showing weakness very significantly though off to the vote was taken the representative green from texas formally read out impeachment proceedings against president trump introducing the bill into the house which knol the democrats are going to have to deal with certainly a very very busy day in congress on this particular day and like give us some more context into this this isn't the 1st time that trump has made made these kinds of comments by it's never reached this point before. certainly president come has made very controversial comments in the past but we have not had a situation where the house has formally sought to issue its rebuke as it has done now we have also not had a situation where republicans have to go on the record about whether right not they support the president regardless of the nature of the remarks that he made now this

is the critical issue here is that although president trump has repeatedly used what many believe to be an acceptable language unacceptable epithets this is the 1st time where he has been formally rebuked by congress a rebuke that will fully go on his record as president so a significant moment indeed but before the photo was taken another significant process happened and that was a massive argument within the house brought by republicans attempting to strike from the record the comments made by the speaker nancy pelosi in which she's described to president trump's comment as racist all the republicans attempted to have the strength from the recall the vote was delayed for a number of hours but once again americans are able to see republicans going on the record in terms of defending a president who the majority of the house have knowledge formally said used

a racist language in his tweets directed at 4 people of color so here we've got very significant proceedings certainly the optics of that could have a major impact in the months to come and certainly will dribble through to the election in 2020 thank you very much mike hanna with the latest from washington for us. and for more on this we can now speak to daniel that men he's a reporter covering the white house and washington for politico thank you very much for coming on this program. firstly it's no major surprise that the violence when this way given that the democrats have had majority in congress but can you explain to us how significant this is in light of the fact that there's no real concrete action that can take place after this you know this is kind of a symbolic method to show that congress is against what president trump said attacking their own colleagues and so the fact that only 4 republicans voted for

this resolution kind of indicates that this is president trump's party and has been for a while that he's taken over the republican party it used to be that the g.o.p. wouldn't welcome immigrants and want to show that america was a beacon of light for the world this is kind of what ronald reagan and many other republican leaders including george so you bush used to say but now that party is more of a party that is suspicious of people from foreign countries but there are there are moderate republicans among their ranks why do you think so few republicans have actually voted to condemn or voted for the resolution. they don't want to get attacked by president trump for taking a stand against him and so they also fear the constituents in their districts about

getting a primary challenge from someone closer to president trumps you know language and also just his positions as being more of a nationalist and so it's kind of raw political calculus that they are trying to preserve their standing in the local republican party which is more protracted often and so they are very afraid to take a real stand with democrats in these types of controversial statements but they often are not going to defend trump on this they are just going to be silent and they're going to leave it to the trump campaign to actually say that you know while trump is not he didn't mean what he actually said there was one trump campaign spokesman who quoted part of trump's tweet and he denied that trump had even mentioned them going away going back to their country when it was right there in the tweet as our correspondent had been saying it's not the 1st time this there's

been such twitter comments and there's been this kind of rhetoric but this has gone beyond just comments and has now come into debates in congress do you think this will have the desired effect for donald trump as far as galvanizing his base to or to 20 twentieth's actions how do you think this will play out. it's hard to say but there's a reason trump does everything it does mostly and so he is not totally irrational in trying to stir up his base to be on his side against those 4 democrats and he also sees this in opera as an opportunity to brandish the democratic party as the party of the squad which is those 4 members of congress who he was trying to let you know label that these are the real this is what the party stands for this is a o c i on a presently. to leave and no more and so if more

americans think that the democratic party is represented by these 4 people instead of nancy pelosi or joe biden whoever the democratic nominee is then the greater chances are for trump's reelection in 2020 but for a lot of moderate voters this type of racist rhetoric does not play well in the suburbs and among people who reluctantly voted for trump the last time because they did not like hillary clinton. how is this playing out outside of washington. all of these controversies they make more of a splash in the beltway in washington d.c. and in new york city among the media class but for most americans are just trying to live their daily lives and work hard for their jobs and take care of their kids they are not as concerned about the latest controversy and so they may catch

a measure or 2 of television or may see a headline online but we shouldn't overplay that this is something that every american is concerned about or even talking about or even aware of this is the daily turn of trump controversies. as you know they go constantly to the next whatever what trump is going to do tomorrow or the next week and so busy a lot of americans are kind of numb to this thank you very much daniel lippman good to speak to you thanks for your time and insight. ok across the atlantic now the european parliament has now legal acted or celeb wander lion asked president of the european commission the german defense minister will become the 1st woman to hold the post to ensure places john klein younker in the vendor jonah hall has more details from the european parliament and. just that daily approval from the european parliament vote means the fund alone becomes the 1st woman to

been 3 days since the monsoon rain started and the waters have just started receding here not one house has been spared even. when the water started rising i carried this child and started running away this is a 30 year davey's house the floors covered in mud then tired village more than $400.00 people and their cattle have taken refuge on an embankment here most of the stocks of food they managed to salvage has been drying out this is a bank that runs along the bottom of the river now on friday there was so much water that all you could see was just rooftops and people here are saying that this has proven to be a lifeline for the bag with the river remains in flood further downstream local people are helping security forces fix embankments local representatives are struggling to provide assistance with roads closed food supplies are running low

villagers say they have got very little to eat. we need a long term solution to these floods one of the main reasons our village is gets flooded is bad design of the new roads that are being built our villages are in a low land surrounded by 3 big rivers who can't resettle but we need the government to help alleviate the settlement people here say they are tired of the recurring floods and broken promises by national leaders they say they don't need sympathy but want help in building stronger houses that don't get washed away. district. the monsoon rains have been particularly severe in northeast india but in other areas there is severe drought now a government report found 600000000 indians are facing high to extreme stress because of water shortages and so on half the population $200000.00 people die each year as there are unable to get drinking water and 70 percent of the water is

contaminated so by next year at least 20 cities will have completely run out of ground water including new delhi bengaluru and chennai are taps are already running dry shortish are my is the president of the forum for organized resource conservation and enhancement and he says india desperately needs to put a plan to ensure water supply into the future there has hit on 2 sides one is that we are too many people we have about 18 percent of the world's population but only 4 percent of the world's water sources so we already have a water problem on top of that our problem is economic and administrative mismanagement of our water resources instead of focusing on sustainability measures before crisis hits us we are actually running around for water when we haven't reserves of as a voice to store the monsoon water that we get in just 2 months so mismanagement at

source is certainly a problem one reason foreigners not enough to handle a crisis of this proportion and even of the crisis because of this for a couple of months it will return again i think what the country needs now is planning for sustainability self-sufficiency instead of learning from the supply side we need to start looking at administrative units as self-sufficient. uses a water sort of water port of budgeting to ensure that we use only as much water as we have access to. still ahead on al-jazeera the u.s. president says progress is being made with terror on even as around supreme leader accuses britain of piracy. and why unique kind of cell phone theft is prompting a response from mexico's government. and its port to this former world champion claims he's set to fight one of the biggest names in boxing.

is there are let me take you through our main stories this hour the u.s. house of representatives has voted to condemn president donald trump for racist comments against 4 democratic congresswoman had told them to go home the resolution was approved on a largely party line vote of 24287 with only 4 republicans backing the democratic measure. and the european parliament narrowly elected under lying. as president of the european commission the german defense minister will become the 1st woman to hold the post when she replaces john paul younger and if ever. and millions remain affected by the monsoon in southern asia at least 180 people are now known to have been killed across india nepal bangladesh and pakistan. so former peruvian president has been arrested in the united states for extradition on

corruption charges he is the latest politician caught up in the latin america's largest ever corruption scandal which is centered on the brazilian construction company or direct from or in this marianna sanchez is live for us in on a good to see their leader has been living in california for a few years what's this arrest expected and why has it happened now. well if it was really not expected he's been living freely for some time in california and last night his lawyer said that he had spoken with him and there was no indication that little was a aware that this arrest would be imminent but this has been indeed a result of a very intense work by the peruvian government which requests that the extradition one year ago or so very intense work by the prosecutors the prosecutor's office in

peru that is working on the case and that has gone through thousands and thousands of papers paperwork to be able to prove that during that the little government between 20012006 there were bribes. paid as well another very important matter in this is that there's been intense work in brazil itself with the carwash investigation the other bridge scandal has put the man out that the link between peru proves government produce companies and all the evidence. as a main test to testify in the old rich case he has given all the information he continues to give out information and a result of this is that this has had peru has been the country most impacted by the scandal. mainly with arrests from the most important politicians in peru to more importantly the house arrest of former president bill. and as we all

know of course the suicide of former president alan garcia who killed himself just minutes after a thorough arrived in his home in lima to arrest him really in relation to the case indeed so so now what happens next how soon can we see a face in justice in peru. well it's unlikely that we will see a little arriving in peru quite soon because foreign minute deputy foreign minister . has just said that he will remain in custody until friday and then he will go to court in the us in california where he will the judge will decide whether to remains in custody during the extradition process or he goes free he face a bail and he waits in the united states for the extradition to happen experts are

already saying that the extradition can last one year or so before one year like unlikely to see to live here but his lawyer has just said that of course they will fight back thank you very much money on santas in lima for us well politicians worldwide have been linked to the bribery scandal the brazilian multinational admitted guilt and cash for contracts corruption scandal and more than half of the countries in latin america the company has helped pay for election campaigns and to boost the careers of politicians and return for lucrative construction projects this scandal has brought down politicians throughout latin america including brazil ecuador and colombia for proving presidents have been tainted that includes a man garcia who committed suicide in april us police came to arrest him over bribery allegations he had denied any wrongdoing. has admitted paying almost $13000000.00 in bribes and peruse since 2004 well eric

farnsworth is the vice president of the council of the americas and joins us now live from washington thank you for your time so can you explain to us how far reaching we've had a quick run through but how far reaching the scandal is and how much it exposes the kind of corruption there is in latin american governments. well thanks very much for having me on again you know the tentacles of the of the british investigation and scandals have really literally reached throughout latin america you named any number of countries there are others you could have named as well then as well as certainly cuba there have been allegations in mexico about some of these issues and they go right to the top of some of these countries and what it's done is that it's not just impacted the people who have been accused of corruption obviously but it is also impacted the willingness of the people the voters to continue to support many of their elected officials and some would say have led directly through recent

elections to the election of outsider candidate who are elected based on their claims to be not corrupt that is something that i think voters have increasingly been sympathetic to and it is driving elections now across the region so the implications of this are very very broad and very deep and therefore peruvian president landed at the ledo has been arrested and is likely to be extra day how significant is this. i think it's a really significant event on any number of levels one is and your correspondent was already talking about it now there are several former peruvian leaders who are either under suspicion or indeed oligarchy a killed himself before he could go to trial these are tragedies of human level but it does show that peru has been deeply impacted by this and. that the united states in some way is cooperating with peru which i think is a positive thing but you know there is an upside to this as well and i think that shows that justice may be delayed but it does seem to be

a work in and the peruvian people i think are determined to root it out of their system the current president some routine this guy ran on the summit of the americas just over one year ago rich was really focused on and i corruption so i think these issues are increasingly being seen seriously and people are turning to the justice systems to try to address them and i think that's the proper way to go and that the fact that this is being addressed how does this work with the current governments in lots in america where it's known that corruption is endemic and part of the system is this likely to act as a deterrent in any way. well that's the hope of many people of course impunity has been something that observers have complained about for many years in the latin american context and if you think that your activities are going to be exposed and you're going to be sanctioned for doing them then you're probably less likely to commit those activities going forward in the same is true with corruption to the

extent that people are held to account that justice is done and it should have a deterrent effect on future leaders of the sort but there is a long way to go each country is different the systems of justice in each country is different and some have a greater impact than others i don't think we'll ever root out corruption from latin america or any country for that matter including the united states but the truth of the matter is people are trying to take steps to address it and i think that that will continue thank you very much eric finds for thank you for your time and your insight. cut there has confirmed that a missile seized in italy once belonged to its military the weapon was discovered during raids on suspected neo nazis qatar says it bought the missile 25 years ago but it had since sold it to another nation although it has been in the country a joint investigation by qatar in italy along with a 3rd country has now begun. iran says its ballistic missile program is

not open for negotiation with anyone or any country that contradicts comments from the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei is that iran is prepared to talk about its missiles earlier president donald trump said a lot of progress has been made with iran and that he was not pushing for regime change tensions between the u.s. and iran escalated last year of to washington withdrew from the 2015 nuclear agreement. meanwhile iran's supreme leader has spoken for the 1st time on u.k. seizure of an iranian tanker near job alter there's a grace one tanker was detained earlier last this month and the move has raised tensions between iran and western powers because. the vicious british government committed piracy in a top down ship they commit crimes and legalize it they're trying to legitimize this maritime robbery these lawmaker public will not leave such vicious acts without a response. the u.s. president has insisted he's working to find a solution with turkey over the sale of the f.

35 fighter jets donald trump says the u.s. is in what he called a tough situation that's after turkey bought a russian air defense system washington had threatened sanctions over the purchase a trump has been reluctant to impose them so far the u.s. is concerned that russia would have access to converts military information if turkey acquired both systems what happens is we have a situation where turkey is very good with us. and we are now telling turkey that because you have really been forced to buy another missile system we're not going to sell you the f. 35 inches it's a very tough situation that they're in and it's a very tough situation that we've been placed in you know. with all of that said we're working through it we'll see what happens but it's not really fair. a new york police officer whose actions helped spark

a national movement against police brutality will not face charges for killing a black man he was trying to arrest the u.s. justice department made the announcement on tuesday 5 years after the death of farrah garner kristen salumi has more. that's. officer daniel panta layo was caught on video putting eric garner in a choke hold that led to his death police were attempting to arrest darren on charges of illegally selling blue cigarettes. to going to see if the agent but after what was described as an exhaustive review the department of justice decided the evidence did not meet the high bar required to bring civil rights charges against the officer when we evaluated all of those actions and why his training and experience mr gardner. actions to resist arrest and the duration and escalating nature of the interaction we determined that was

insufficient evidence garners family and their supporters were quick to have jacked but years ago my son said. it today we came. because they have let us down. those words i can't breathe became a rallying cry for the black lives matter movement against police brutality after garners death in 2014 bringing thousands to the street in protest. the mayor of new york issued a statement expressing disappointment with the justice department's decision but clearly that wasn't enough for activists and members of eric garners family who gathered outside city hall demanding that the mayor now fire officer panda leo while panta layo won't face criminal charges he could still face disciplinary action by the new york police department but the department is known for protecting
