nancy pelosi is now here and the. last tuesday we observe the anniversary of the adoption of the constitution on september 17th sadly on that day the intelligence community x. inspector general formally notified the congress that the administration was forbidding him from turning over a whistleblower complaint. on constitution day this is a violation of the war shortly there after press reports began to break of a phone call by the president of the united states calling upon a foreign power to intervene in his election this is a breach of his constitutional responsibilities the facts are these the intelligence community inspector general who was appointed by president trump determined that the complaint is both of urgent concern and credible. and it's disclosure he went on to say relates to one of the most significant and portage of

the director of national intelligence is responsibility to the american people on thursday the inspector general testified before the house intelligence committee stating that the acting director of national intelligence blocks him from disclosing the whistleblower complaint this is a violation of war the law is unequivocal the d.n.i. staff. it says the d.n.i. d.n.i. director of national intelligence shell provide congress the fall whistleblower complaint. for more than 25 years i've served on the intelligence committee as a member as the ranking member as part of the gang of 4 even before i was in the leadership i was there one when we created the office of the director of national intelligence that did not exist before 2004 i was there even earlier in the

ninety's when we wrote the whistleblower laws and continue to write them to improve them to ensure the security of our intelligence and the safety of all so blowers i know what their purpose was and we proceeded with balance and caution as we wrote the laws i can say with authority the trumpet ministrations actions undermine both our national security and our intelligence and our protections of the whistleblowers more than both this thursday the acting d.n.i. will appear before the house intelligence committee at that time he must turn over the whistleblowers for complaint to the committee he will have to choose whether to break the law or honor his responsibility to the constitution on the final day of the constitutional convention and $787.00 when our constitution was adopted americans gather on the steps of independence hall to await the news of the

government our founders had crafted they asked benjamin franklin what do we have a republic or a monarchy franklin replied a republic if you can keep it our responsibility is to keep it. our public indoors because of the wisdom of our constitution and shined in 3 co-equal branches of government serving as checks and balances on each other the actions taken to date by the president have seriously violated the constitution especially when the president says article 2 says i can do whatever i want for the past several months we have been investigating in our committees and litigating in the courts so the house can gather all the relevant facts and consider whether to exercise its for article one powers including a constitutional power of the utmost gravity approval of articles of impeachment

and this week the president has admitted to asking the president to crane to take actions which would benefit him politically the action of the truck the actions of the trump presidency revealed dishonorable fact of the president's betrayal of his oath of office betrayal of our national security and betrayal of the integrity of our elections therefore today i'm announcing the house of representatives moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry and directing our 6 committees to proceed with their investigations under that umbrella of impeachment inquiry the president must be held accountable no one is above the law getting back to our founders. in the darkest days of the american revolution thomas paine wrote the times have found us the times found them to fight for an establish our democracy the chimes have found us today not to place ourselves in the same

category of greatness as our founders but to places in the urgency of protecting and defending our constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic in the words of ben franklin to keep our republic i think our chairman chairman chairman now and shift from here now there of judiciary chairman schiff of intelligence chairman engle of foreign affairs chairman cummings of oversight and chairman cummings i've been in touch with constantly he's the master of of so much but including inspectors general and and whistleblowers congresswoman richie neal of the of the ways and means committee congresswoman maxine waters of the natural services committee and i commend all of our. members our colleagues for their thoughtful thoughtful approach to all of this through their careful statements god bless them and god bless america thank you. were. right so we've just been

listening dowse speaker nancy pelosi announcement that was expected she has confirmed that impeachment proceedings have started against us president donald trump now this is relating to recent allegations that have emerged regarding abuse of power new charges regarding abuse of power a president trying to have pressured the ukrainian president to investigate joe biden and his family and of course joe biden is expected to be trump's main rival in the 2020 alexion so nancy pelosi saying that the president's behavior in this matter is a betrayal of his. of office of betrayal of national security he must be held accountable she says no one is above the law shihab rattansi has been listening to this in washington and. looks as president trump is going to be consumed

by. possibly another serious crisis in the lead up to 2020. what depends who you ask and there are many of the trump white house who would love this idea they think that the possibility of yet another impeachment inquiry or. another inquiry into donald trump even if it's as serious as an impeachment inquiry is the best thing that could happen for his presidential chass because it just adds to his narrative of a witch hunt and that's one of the reasons why for such a long time nancy pelosi who we just it's so speaking that resisted this side that she didn't want the president's narrative to have more ammunition she felt it would be too divisive especially for democrats in republican leaning states who might be more vulnerable to that sort of that sort of argument of a time when maybe elements of trump's base or wavering a little bit perhaps because of economic problems and so on that the u.s. is facing this is the sort of narrative that can bring them all back together as

they remember the hatred of the democrats and the overreach as troubled says so this is one reason why for such a long time police he didn't want to launch a formal impeachment inquiry that has changed in part actually because some of those democrats in republican leaning constituencies themselves are saying look donald trump has gone too far and we should be clear about several things actually 1st of all what this is about i mean she mentioned the the whistle blowers account from what we can tell them what's changed her mind is this is one cover up to many of the information that we understand from all the leaks and all the other information about over the last weeks few weeks is last week was actually only been a week will say is that a member of the intelligence community got concerned that donald trump was having what was acting improperly with a foreign leader that member of the intelligence community then gave that complaint to the inspector general who oversees the intelligence community the inspector

general then agreed that this was urgent and worrying behavior and forwarded that to the dereck. of national intelligence who serves in the white house would donald trump now by law then the d.n.i. the director of national intelligence has to give that information to the house and senate intelligence committees he has not done that and that's the cover up that's the bit that seems to have just been one element of cover up too much it's quite clear in the constitutional at least in law that that process has to happen it hasn't happened and that's what the democrats are demanding in fact actually now republicans in the senate have just passed a unanimous helped us a unanimous call for that whistleblower report to be released to members of congress so that's what's at issue here in addition is the other information we heard over the last week about what that complaint may have been about and what the information we've been getting is there is this trudge that donald trump in

a conversation with the ukrainian president encouraged him or at least perhaps even told them launch an inquiry into the biden specifically hunter biden look to be honest it's been a well known secret that hunter biden is business dealings are a little at the very least questionable he got various you know signed a cures in ukraine off to joe biden and president obama helped overthrow the government in ukraine so that all these questions here although ukrainian officials say they haven't seen any wrongdoing on open leaks and looked a bit odd so the whole tribe seemed to be saying look you you have to open this inquiry not whether there's a quid pro quo which was it was alleged that what donald trump was doing was saying unless you open that inquiry we're not going to give you military aid that's in doubt but what nancy pelosi is saying is that we don't even care about the quid pro quo the simple act of asking a foreign government to look into a political opponent to influence a 4 into it to influence a domestic election that's enough so there are these 2 issues then one cover up too many and the act off asking a foreign government to investigate

a political opponent ahead of the 2020 presidential elections these the 2 is. shoes which appeared to been just too much for nancy pelosi but she left a lot of questions there after how this impeachment inquiry will now take place it's not entirely clear from what she said what's going to happen when she she cited that already there were 6 and part is underway in the house that sham to want a little and i just ask you though as you say there is still that level of uncertainty and if the fed that we don't know but generally speaking then what are the immediate steps towards launching in an impeachment proceeding like this. i mean that's a kind of i guess what we were sort of looking for was more information from palosi as to how the the how things will will now proceed as you mentioned those 6 inquiries are already underway into a range of issues from obstruction of justice to hush money to monuments of all humans meaning donald trump making money out of his office of the presidency

through his her tiles and so on and so those are already underway so she cites those and then she also said we're launching a formal impeachment inquiry is another question how did those inquiries now fit in to the full impeachment inquiry that she just announced i i certainly didn't get a clear understanding of how they will link up we have heard various scenarios which is those inquiries will continue and they will then give their findings to the house judiciary committee which will then think about all of those findings in the context of the possibility of of recommending articles of impeachment to the full house so let's be clear about what impeachment means impeachment doesn't mean you are you've been found to have done wrong impeachment is the equivalent of an indictment it means we're indicting you with there's no evidence here for us to indict you for a crime of some sort and if the house decides that there's enough evidence to to indict impeach don trump on any of things that these various inquiries may have

found them that then goes to the senate for the actual equipment of the actual court case so that will then be heard in the senate with members of the house acting as prosecutors and it's up to the senate overseen by the supreme court justice to then decide whether whether indeed. the trump is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors or something like that so you can be impeached not just basically means you've been indicted and then you have your trial in the senate so that's the kind of process we're looking at so it's still not entirely clear then what the how this process might might now proceed but i think i guess at the very least what pelosi and democrats are hoping is by putting this into the context of an impeachment and impeachment proceeding maybe finally the stonewalling will end and they'll start getting some of the information that they haven't been furnished with by the trumpet ministration up to now thank you very much for now. bringing us the latest on that story from washington.

now a bombshell ruling by the u.k.'s highest court has dealt a crushing blow to prime minister bar's jonson a unanimous judgement by 11 supreme court judges says johnson's decision to shut down parliament for 5 weeks was unlawful critics had called the suspension a cynical ploy to stifle debate about breaks it and and pays will now return to parliament and that growing calls for the prime minister to resign johnson will fly back early from the un general assembly to join him but has vowed to stay in power and stick to the bracks it deadline of the 31st of october paul brennan reports. outside the supreme court the anti corrective demonstrators were going to mystic moved inside the judge's delivered their devastating ruling with calm deliberation and issue where the prime minister boris johnson suspended parliament lawfully or simply to prevent parliament from holding his government to account the effect on

the fundamentals of our democracy was extreme no justification for taking action with such an extreme effect has been put before the court the court is bound to conclude. that the decision to advise her majesty to parade parliament was unlawful. because it had the effect of frustrating or preventing the ability of parliament to carry out its constitutional functions without reasonable justification this case went to the fundamental issue of the very nature of democracy here in the united kingdom and it was a stress test if you like of the separation of powers between the 3 branches of government but this conflict is far from over the outcome is a vindication for gina miller the campaigner who has fought the government for the past 3 years to uphold the law or on breaks it. today it's not to win back any individual or because it's

a win for parliamentary servant the separation of powers and the independence of a british court. news of the court's decision prompted a standing ovation from delegates of the opposition labor party conference where the party leader was on his feet at the time the supreme court has just announced its decision. and it shows that the prime minister has acted wrongly in shutting down the as demand for parliament to be recalled gathered pace at the speaker of the lower house stepped in i have instructed the house so far it is to prepare not for the recall. the purgation was unlawful and these void to prepare for the resumption of the business of the house of commons. problems are evolving our prime minister johnson received the news in new york where he's

attending the u.n. general assembly he said he disagreed with the ruling but with respect is the main thing is that we're going to get home and deliberative to the 31st yes of course part of it will have to come back but. you know we'll respect that and get on with back in london that his position is now in question parliament will resume on wednesday morning it promises to be a tumultuous return paul brennan al-jazeera the supreme court live now to andrew symonds who is in westminster for us and andrew what's likely to happen now. 1st of all bring you up to date with recent developments and downing street has been briefing about boris johnson confirming that he has no intention to resign and saying that he had a conversation with the queen on the phone and asked whether or not he apologized

no confirmation of that nothing disclosed about that the conversation with the queen he also had a conference call with members of the cabinet again no indication as to wolf but in terms of what he does next well he has to get a plane on a plane from new york the u.n. general assembly there and come back to face the music and you can guarantee that in the parliament behind me which will convene reconvene at 11 30 am on wednesday morning that will be a ferrari and what he's got bout to say is on clear but expect many shouts of resign from all of the back benches and expect him to assert once again rex it does have a setback that would fit to the way he wants to play to the populist vote and he is expected according to a number of sources to push again for a general election so we're back into a. repeat effectively of possibly an attempt to get

a vote of confidence or for attempting to force a general election because he was busy still doesn't work in his favor he is a head of a minority government head of a but a minority government that asked the queen to do something that was constitutionally illegal and you have a situation now a vicious circle between the 3 pillars of the establishment the palm of hair short walk away the supremes courts and then just a short walk from that downing street they are absolutely locked in battle. yes it is indeed. the prime minister but on the other hand i mean obviously parliament wanted more time to be able to scrutinise policies in the run up to the end of october they now have the time that they wanted but it's not at all care what they are going to do because as we know the opposition is divided

correct mariyam spot on the situation now is well they're divided in some areas but they're united in one main aim and that is to go their own pace with the election and they want to see that new law that's been passed which would mean that boris johnson goes if he doesn't have a deal goes to brussels and gets to the extension then the path will be set for the opposition to be comfortable it would seem for the election but. i'd be very very brave to guess what might happen in the coming days one fascinating aspect to it is that you have john recall been coming about from the labor main labor opposition party's conference in brighton to parliament on wednesday he will be definitely taking on boris johnson who is expected to make some sort of statement it will be prime minister's questions and then on the other hand you have a situation whereby it's unlikely the government will try to go into recess will

have to be a vote on that in order to let the conference season continue and of course it's the conservatives who are jews a good convene at their conference on sunday which should run into next week there is a possibility if the opposition pushes that they will not stop that from happening but certainly have the parliament in session while the conservatives a supposed to be at their key conference these are incredibly unpredictable times but it has been a seismic judgment a seismic legal ruling that's left the politics of britain in a very strange place right across the country people have been really really concerned about what's going to happen next how they should vote if there was a snap general election would it be along party lines all along bricks it pro bricks it or anti bricks it strategies or would it be just that the fact that boris johnson is saying parliament is cause so much trouble in not being able to decide

on bricks it pushing the message out that everyone is trying to stall his initiative or will the labor party the liberal democrats yes the s.n.p. win over with their calling for more democracy and for him to stand down and really have the shortest term as a prime minister in the u.k. in history all right thank you very much from westminster i'm just simmons and i'm now joined by alan mendez a co-founder and executive director of the libertarian foreign policy think tank the henry jackson society. as andrew was saying now we are very much that we remain sane uncharted territory because you know a great deal has been happening in the last few months particularly since johnson and. took over the premiership now given this latest blow with the supreme court ruling should he resign no absolutely he shouldn't resign i think the supreme court in the u.k. is about a decade old it hasn't been established as long as say supremes courts another

countries the usa in particular if you were to consider for example how the u.s. president deals with the supremes court you regularly have presidents ruled against in that court no one expects them to resign in that case not in the united states no winners in that really almost as a legitimate ruling on glorious john the u.s. supreme court action and the balance of power in this country is true but the u.s. supreme court also makes judaism rulings on based on more as it's a target on u.s. presidents for example 1st the bomber didn't even as she 50 percent success raise in his cases during his time here we've got to look at this in the basis of we now have a more activist judiciary we have a strange situation in parliament where we have a majority so you have legislature or against executive when a very american situation we need to consider it in that light right now but you're speaking as i much of this wasn't necessarily in the control of the prime minister but he made the decision he alone made the decision to suspend parliament and so

now we believe is now in a situation where 60 after the 62 days in power he has lost his battle with the supreme court he has lost and peace from his own party. has lost 6 parliamentary vote sees lost control of the house of commons where does this leave his position he seems to have completely lost control of the process while he inherited this position the reality is that his predecessor lesson in a very difficult position after 2 years of negotiations over brics is what he has tried to do is chart a clear path towards leaving the european union on the 31st how is he trying to do that by stating that's what i'm going to do i'm going to do the dual core not given any details but most people westminster believe that while he says that he's not. oshea ting in good faith in any negotiations going on the government's position is quite clear that you get a deal with the european union 5 minutes for midnight the problem i face at the moment is that parliament and now it seems the supreme court are trying to extend

midnight every time we never get into the way the supreme court decision had nothing to do with with breaks it this was strictly about that the action of since the suspension of parliament in the 5 weeks leading out of that has us as a natural law that's correct but everyone recognizes this is what nothing to do necessarily with with that narrow issue with the broader issue that parliament was actually program which is in this case the queen's speech to bring in a new measure that's been ruled unlawful the governor's going to have to come back obviously and restate his agenda it doesn't rule out by the way another purgation lays down the line. would would he really consider that given the decision that we've had today what the supreme court has said is you can't throw parliament beyond its normal course of activities but there are moments where you have pro parliament for example to bring in the queen's speech or other measures in the in the statute book where you can bring it in so the question is obviously not repeat this but it doesn't mean that you can't have another suspension should it be required house of commons has passed a law saying that it will lot accept. it and that there has to be some sort of

agreement before the 1st 1st of october or that will be strengthened has to ask brussels for an extension now he has said that he will not do that i mean what's likely to happen there how will he approach firstly the issue of course is that this goes back to this 5 minutes 4 midnight point i made him to go if you never get to 5 minutes for midnight you'll never get a deal where he is now trying to do and we've seen by the way indications since the past weekend that there is some movement the europeans are saying. said that there might be a deal down the line yes a long way to go but we're seeing some positive and why why would they offer him anything now he has no authority over parliament what he wants and he'll end up with the europeans want to deal just as we want to deal with problems doesn't want to leave the if he knew without a deal he stated publicly on many occasions deal is better than no deal the europeans believe the same thing but if sides have an interest to get to that point the question is can they get to that point now we won't know that if we never get near to that point if you keep on extending this till ad infinitum then the

europeans and the british will never get to a point where we'll know if we get a deal on ours. thank you. well now the french president a monument on his call on iran in the u.s. to show courage and resume talks back on may the comments at u.n. general assembly while world leaders are meeting to discuss the well to most pressing challenges well they are trying to announce what he called iran's blood lust will be live at the united nations in a moment to bring you the latest from there 1st though our diplomatic editor james bays reports on the day's events. as he arrived at the general assembly the world was watching for president trump's next move on iraq the u.s. is being joined by the u.k. france germany it holding iran responsible for the drone attacks on saudi oil facilities but the president to go to the policy it lacks of pressure on tehran that both wanted still for now every talking about possible diplomacy heard about

it on iran i think we're doing very well let's see what happens with the rand but we are very very strong position on iran and i think they'd like to do something and i think would be a smart thing for them if they could have and of course when he took to the podium inside the general assembly hall there was plenty of criticism of radio policy but also i'm not the only brunch. america is ready to embrace friendship with all who genuinely seek. peace and respect. many of america's closest friends today were once our greatest foes the united states has never believed in permanent enemies we want hardness not that mrs america knows that while anyone can make war. only the most courageous can choose peace ok in the speech there were also tough words for choice an effort perhaps to

increase the pressure on beijing or ahead of forthcoming trade talks the american people are absolutely committed to restoring balance to our relationship with china . hopefully we can reach an agreement that would be beneficial for both countries. but as i have made very clear i will not accept a bad deal for the american people. when he spoke at the u.n. secretary general raised concerns that the war of words between china and the us could develop into something much more serious i fear the possibility of a great. the world splitting into we did 2 largest economies on hers could be a thing to separate them competing well we see their own dominance currency trade and financial rules their own internet and our official intelligence capacities and their own 0 sum geopolitical and military strategies. why do you attended the

official luncheon with other world leaders and the secretary general president trump praised the united nations that was in contrast to a typical trump speech which promoted national sovereignty ahead of multilateralism and slammed the globalists james pays out 0 at the united nations. john allen joins us live from the u.n. in new york now and general speaking earlier about president address at the united nations and we know that iran is featured very very heavily in speeches and closed door meetings that have been taking place this week with the europeans trying very hard to find a way to keep that nuclear deal alive. that's right emmanuel micron the french president setting out his vision on what should happen next with iran a new round of negotiations bring iran and u.s. the u.s. back to the table he says it's simply time he called on world leaders to find the

courage that they lack to build peace and reach a consensus mr macron presented himself as the flag bearer of multilateralism on a day when donald trump declared globalism dead well let me bring in my guest now richard garwin joins me he's the u.n. director for the international crisis group thanks for joining us. mr trump to quote the future does not belong to globalists but to patriots that's a denial is that a pretty much everything the u.n. stands for yes but trump wasn't really talking to the u.n. here trump was in domestic mode he's already thinking of the campaign that lies ahead and he was hitting on themes that resonate very nicely in middle america like migration patriotism abortion and that's what his focus was not all the foreigners in the room and those comments in particular aimed at china. he said it was the 2nd largest economy that mistake gaming the system and tended to be

a developing country pretty strong. amants with trade talks coming up isn't it the case that while america seems to be pulling back from these multilateral institutions like the un china has made some quite quite significant inroads into that we've seen china hugely expand its diplomatic activities and its influence at the un and in other multilateral bodies over the last 4 or 5 years but especially since trump took office and for about about a year in fact michael pompei o john bolton when he was in the white house has been talking about china as a threat in multilateral institutions and we are starting to see something that i'm tony a good terrorist mentioned which is a new cold war dynamic emerging in the u.n. with countries having to decide whether they favor the u.s. or china and trump is really playing on that today in a way that will worry could terrorism i think worry many other countries he talked to the terrace about a possible great fracture in iran the other big issue here today some

disappointment perhaps ahead of this general assembly there had been hopes of a possible meeting between trump and rouhani he's here of course the 1st meeting in 40 years between the 2 sides that isn't going to happen now what room is left do you think for rapprochement. i think that trump is disappointed that he couldn't see rouhani i think he wanted a diplomatic window here in the absence of that when he really just stayed with the status quo he said that the u.s. would maintain maximum pressure heavy sanctions on iran it was at least reassuring that there was no reference to military force i think trump was actually in the general assembly trying to persuade the europeans and others to get behind his efforts to contain the iranians and if you mentioned force that pitch would have failed and of course the other story involving away from here but playing out in front of the world's cameras boris johnson the supreme court decision in london we expect to hear from mr johnson in his leader's speech to the general assembly in

a couple of hours time. how do you think he's going to play well he's going to have to be quick because he needs to rush to a plane if he's going to get back to parliament but i think that johnson will stick with whatever was in his speech which will probably be a positive vision of go global britain of the u.k. working at the u.n. after leads the e.u. in a positive way but quite frankly i'm not sure many other leaders will really be buying into that right now finally emanuel macron multilateralism his big. vision for the pope politics of the future can a leader like mccrum bring the politics of cooperation back to the u.n. . i think that france will struggle to do that alone but it is quite interesting we're seeing the germans and french in particular making a really big effort around this general assembly to sell multilateralism they're launching a new alliance to multilateralism on thursday and i think micron understands that this is very very good branding because

a lot of countries here don't like what the u.s. is doing but they're also nervous about china's rise and they want to work with the europeans to keep the international system together which many thanks for your time we'll leave it there thank you and all and straight back to you and thank you very much thank you jonah how with all the latest from the united nations in new york well brazilian president jabal sanaa is the 1st world leaders who address the u.n. general assembly he used the platform to accuse other leaders of attacking his nation's sovereignty and promoting lies based on left wing ideology references to the international response to the amazonian fire as our latin america editor you see in human reports now from quiet capital of the amazonian state of mato grosso. brazil's president not always did no time in what he called reestablishing the troops. it is a fallacy that the amazon is a heritage of humanity and it's also a mistake to say it is the lungs of the world and countries are using these

fantasies and instead of helping have started to attack with lies in a colonialist spirits after opening with a tirade against cuba and venezuela of spreading the disease of socialism throughout the continent also not all went straight onto the counter offensive about brazil's record on conservation he said that in international media campaign is lying about the rain forest being consumed by fire the president wants to not go didn't say is that according to official satellite data in this his 1st year in office deforestation in the amazon has tripled here in my pocket also where the wildfires have hit the hardest even some of the president's staunchest allies are concerned that his aggressive tone could backfire. congressman neddy galad says it's a communications problem. this is a. i know the importance of showing a good image to the international market that we do preservation because if more

images by the european community will not buy our products who is damaged to produce the pharma. i majored cattle auctioneer and rancher. has promised to stop illegal deforestation here in the amazon region most of what. we brazilian produces we don't defend illegality on the contrary what exists now days is the condition to produce much more and less syria because of technology. but conservationist ehrman only beta called the speech outrageous. the modus operandi is not to ensure that those making the current legislation obey the laws. no the idea now is to change the law to be close to crime. but. the last word hope but also not a would deliver a more conciliatory message we're obviously disappointed but for many here and in washington who see climate change as a global conspiracy the president's defiant tone was just what they wanted to hear
