jets machine on al-jazeera. the u.s. house condemns president donald trump for racially charged comments against 4 congress women. hello and welcome and if you go polony your watching al-jazeera live from doha also coming up. i feel so much and i'm overwhelmed. germany's defense minister a lot of underlying essex elected to the top job but she's becoming the 1st female president of the european commission. who is former president of the radio is

arrested in the u.s. on corruption charges linked to a brazilian construction giant. and the u.k. government is accused of discriminating against visa applicants from africa. well the u.s. house of representatives has voted to condemn quote racist comments by president donald trump against 4 minority congress women the resolution was approved largely on party lines with only 4 republicans 2 backing the democratic measure on sunday president trump posted tweets telling the for politicians to go back where they came from and he's refused to let up this despite growing criticism both at home and abroad mike hanna is in washington d.c. with the latest for some i cannot tell us how this has played out in congress. well it was certainly in moments of high drama within the house of representatives even

before the vote republicans attempted to remove words used by the house speaker in introducing the bill from the record they object to to her using the term racist apply to the president the republicans delayed the vote for hours clearly more angered by nancy pelosi s use of the word racism than the president's actual original tweet but to the house then voted along party lines to accept the words on record and went ahead to pass the vote once again largely on party lines censoring the president only for republicans as you mentioned joining the democrats in censoring the president certainly a symbolic move but also a very important in that it is the 1st time there's been a formal record made of censure of intemperate and a comments made by the president now mike the house g.o.p.

leader republicans to vote against the resolution trump himself called this a democratic con what kind of pressure wore the republicans under. well they were under immense pressure in a number of ways one must remember that this is a rare occasion on which every republican has to go on the record in support of the president now republicans have kept quiet informal controversial comments made by the president but on this occasion they will have to say yes or no to a sense year off those particular comments so that is the one point they are now on the record secondly of course that the republican party has been arguing about this but knol the stock realisation for many of them that this is no longer the g.o.p. this is a republican party that is largely controlled by president trump he called on republicans to vote against the motion arguing in

a very president trump type way that to support it would show weakness he doesn't want any weakness showed but there are still many republicans within the congress who are well aware that the fact that they went on the record supporting comments made by the president may reflect against them in the elections next year and mike you know this has been playing out over the past few days can you give us some more context on how this all began. what it all began on sunday when the president issued a tweet before going off for a golf game in which he singled out for congresswoman all of whom happen to be women of color urging them to go back to from the countries they came now these 3 of the congresswoman are in fact u.s. born in the u.s. all 4 of them are u.s. citizens this much. and consternation among many within this

country the term go back to where you came from seem very much as a denigrate tree and exceedingly racist comment particularly when you have people of color involved so there has been the debate raging in recent days president trump himself has shown no remorse whatsoever he's been pushing back continuing to tweak repeatedly in support of his comment and in anger against the congresswoman that he has singled out but another point must be noted in that day of drama at the house and that is at the end of proceedings for the 1st time a form of the temptress made to introduce articles of impeachment against president trump the sport by a representative from texas al green now what this means is that the democrats have been divided over the whole issue of impeachment are now going to have to take a decision more than 80 democrats in the house have been arguing that impeachment is the way to go others including the house speaker have been insistent that rather

go through investigations by the house committees rather than risk a failed impeachment move well now because of the fact that it impeachment articles have been formally laid the democrats are going to have to take a decision one way or the other my can i with the latest from washington for us thank you. daniel lippman as a reporter covering the white house and washington for politico and he says that many republicans are reluctant to go against president. 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. would 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 w. bush used to say but now that party is more of a. party that is suspicious of people from foreign countries so 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 as visions 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 pro trump often and so they are very afraid to take a real stand with democrats in these types of controversial statements.

the european parliament has narrowly elected or disallowed one deadline as president of the european commission the german defense minister will become the 1st woman to fall hold the post when shoe laces john kline younker in the vendor john howard reports from strasburg. just that daily approval from the european parliament in a tight vote means fonda line becomes the 1st woman to hold the e.u.'s top job as commission president she'll set the policy agenda for the next 5 years i feel so honored and i'm overwhelmed and i thing you for the trust you placed in me here the trust you placed in me is confidence you placed in europe your confidence in the united and a strong europe from east to west from south to north. as a german woman and a close ally of angle a merkel on the line will be seen as an extension of the

chancellor's dominant role in european politics she owes her career to merkel and like merkel she's a political conservative and a passionate supporter of european integration. but big spending promises designed to sway down to any peace are a departure and may prove hard to fulfill we must take bold steps to get mrs ford a lion is indebted for their support to opposing quarters from the socialists to the nationalists which means someone will have to be disappointed supporters in the heavyweight center right european peoples party bloc to which belongs brush those concerns aside she managed to get the support of $27.00 out of $28.00 heads of government in the european union so western europeans eastern europeans were supporting her representatives from a different political families and what she also managed to do is together with us to bring france and germany closer back together the french german cooperation is

not everything in the good opinion that sure but without a close frank or german cooperation things really don't move forward in the european union among the promises. that has made is reform of the very electoral process that had failed to produce a democratically elected candidate with her name emerging instead from behind closed doors as the preferred pick of e.u. heads of government and state it's not only far right populists talking about a democratic deficit in the e.u. anymore many other any p's a saying it as well. and try as she might to be the consensus candidate for all her promise of a green climate deal for europe wasn't enough to sway the greens what is the deal for europe can you explain that to me i can't well if you can't i can't either i mean again a slogan it's not a program what is it how much in which direction. but they'll be
