ever to be impeached by the poor house or for the last thing he wants to be the 1st line of your next if the house votes article feature that doesn't just lead to an easy exoneration it presents mitch mcconnell and the republicans with some terrible choices let's move to some other developing news iran's president to send to define a message to the united states about sanctions hassan rouhani addressing world leaders a little earlier at the u.n. general assembly i'm on somebody and on. had the daughter of. our patience has a limit when the u.s. does not respect the united nations security council resolutions and when europe displays in ability the only way she'll be to rely on national dignity pride and strength they call us to negotiations while they run away from treaties and deals. with the incumbent u.s. government on the 5 plus one negotiating table however they fail to honor the commitment made by their predecessor on behalf of my nation and state i would like
3:01 am
to announce that our response to any negotiation under sanctions is negative from the united nations judging by what president rouhani just said their. nuclear deals are not in a good state. indeed come out of this leaves little room for any compromise any time soon there's been some growing hope over the last few days that perhaps when i get an indication from the iranians were willing to negotiate with the americans today. i suppose it and is exactly the rating want the supreme leader has been saying over the last day which is basically the iranians are going to pursue multilateralist approach which is to talk to everyone including the a year to preserve the 2015 there's absolutely no way they're going to negotiate with the americans for the 4 different reasons. you just want the americans as
3:02 am
enemies trying to make iran surrender by using economics think sanctions saying that this is an issue of national dignity for iran and that the iranians were with ject any cause for talks in the future unless the sanctions lifted at the same time he reached out to neighbors in the region saudi arabia the united arab emirates saying that this should join what he described as a coalition of the hope that would guarantee freedom of navigation on the strait of hormuz saying that the americans are not welcome to take part in that coalition and saying that this is an issue that should be tackled. dealt with by neighbors not by outsiders like the united states of america but i have to say that the iranians iranians are in a very delicate situation of the same time because of the sanctions their economy has been contracting and the inflation has been on the whys for quite some time of therefore they're looking forward to some sort of sanctions waiver anytime soon this explains why the iranians have been saying over the last few days that they're
3:03 am
willing to consider small changes to the nuclear deal that they were consider the notion of gratifying the additional protocol which paved the way for international inspectors to conduct intrusive searchers to ensure their nuclear program is for peaceful purposes other same time the iranian president hassan rouhani was also critical of the e.u. saying that they were partners in the 2015 uclear however they were the ones who should have put into place mechanisms to sidestep the american sanctions there but we have only got an empty rhetoric from the e.u. and no deeds whatsoever it's quite a delicate situation and many observers remain concerned that if the standoff continues that could lead to a full blown military confrontation in the region. hashim alvarez at the united nations thank you and now mohan come rather with us in studio professor and
3:04 am
director of the center for international and regional studies at georgetown university here in ca to do you agree with what ashton was saying of it's this is a very delicate situation now with regards to the nuclear deal it is absolutely i agree with the nuclear deal is on life support the u.s. has already redrawn and you case commitment is not clear particularly in light of what prime minister johnson seems to. so the nuclear deal is not in the best of state iran has initiated a gradual lessening of its commitments and i think it's only a matter of time before the deal collapses all together and then what. well tensions are only likely to continue and. a minute ago the standoff is likely to continue at the same time harvard rouhani has made an interesting diplomatic
3:05 am
overture to the saudis and much of his talk actually the latter half of his talk was directed almost. exclusively at the saudis how we are neighbors and how iran and saudi arabia need to learn to get along i noticed that and then it was also a reminder to the united states you're not our neighbor you actually don't belong in our neighborhood i just. to me it was all a bit conflicting from hassan rouhani there was that the extensions of of olive branch coalition of hope and then there was this really fiery talk that the middle east is on the edge of destruction and. what i want to make of that well i think you're absolutely right at some level the talk was contradictory but one of the positions that the iranian government has consistently advocated is that regional security ought to be a regional issue rather than an extra regional issue with actors from outside of
3:06 am
the middle east or the arabian peninsula and so i think what the president of iran was trying to convey to the saudis was let us try and resolve our issues ourselves without american involvement looks like there will be no meeting then between president rouhani and president trouble i guess no great surprise i mean these things get built up to the will they won't they sort of thing and then it all sort of fizzles out unless there's another surprise around the corner you never know you never know exactly there might be another surprise but i think your hunch is right that there will not be a meeting right after right before on the left on foreign ministers. rouhani is willing to meet with trump if the americans remove the sanctions and for a brief moment there was yet another possibility of a breakthrough and of course we see that once again that has not come to pass so i
3:07 am
think you're right the possibility of a breakthrough is very small at this point ok thank you so much for your time do appreciate it thank you another developing story now israel's president has asked benjamin netanyahu to form a new government after president reagan rivlin met both netanyahu and benny gantz gansu finished just ahead of netanyahu in last week's general election but both sides of course short of winning a majority so how is it then let's ask harry force of this and west jerusalem how is it then that the man who got fewer votes or the man whose party got fewer votes in the selection gets the 1st bite of the cherry to form a government. well because according to riven rivlin he has affirmed and bess a number of potential coalition partners in these ready knesset than the numbers recommending. benjamin netanyahu for the prime minister's job offered 5 compared to
3:08 am
54 for benny gantz and 10 of those 54 for benny gantz from the many palestinian israeli joint list who said they wouldn't actually sit in a government karaoke sorry i'm going to interrupt. because we've got more developments to do with donald trump and the impeachment situation here he is with the ukrainian president obama's event ski. after earlier. and it's an honor to be with you and we spoke a couple of times as you probably remember. they'd like to hear every single word we hear them every single word and then assemble one of us today and i think the press would like to stay in the media that we have left which is like. that but the country. our country is doing an hourly well we are we have the best economy we've ever had if you let's do it well and we are we have the best economy we've ever had
3:09 am
we have the best employment numbers that we've ever had we have now almost 160000000 people working which is more than we've ever had so we're doing very well in every respect and i have a feeling that your country is going to do fantastically well and do whatever we can think about thank you very much president thank you very much it's a great pleasure to me to be here and it's better to be on t.v. than by full being. mr president thank you very much and i'm not the 1st time through to stay in new york. but i know that you've never been in ukraine and your for the sesar also how to say the. didn't find time. for a soul to give me a war that the you will come to our graves conquer war the courage and i know a lot of people my dear i will say this i know a lot of people from ukraine they're great people and i own something called the
3:10 am
miss universe pageant years ago and sold it to i am g. what i went for president i thought maybe it would be the greatest thing in the miss universe and miss usa pageant but it's a great thing and we had a winner from ukraine. and we really had to we got to know the country very well in a lot of different ways but the country i think with tremendous potential i know only because i'm from this conference. and i want to thank you for invitation to washington were you invited to me but i think i'm so laurie i'm sorry about but i think you're forgot to tell me the deets. i think in the new york future will tell you the oh of it yes they know you're for us and i want to think you 2 rules thank you especially mr president to usa to your government like i said that i know many many people many faces like this 2nd family up to my ukrainian
3:11 am
family we know each other thank you for your support especially now when you know when we have to relate to. worse in ukraine ditto swamis with corruption nobody will fight him no will be a winner in this fight i'm sure and that priority my priority that to stop the war on the boss to get back i want territory and my man. we're gonna thank you for your support in this case thank you very much thank you very much and. if you remember universe crimea during a different administration during the from the minister yet so you have a chance to power a bit of every sort of the obama administration that you lost crimea. i didn't think it was something that you should have but it was done a long time ago and i think it was handled poorly but it's just one of those things
3:12 am
one of the elements that we discussed is the united states helps ukraine but i think that other countries should help ukraine much more than they're doing in germany france the european union nations they really should help you a lot more and i think maybe together will work on that they have to feel a little bit guilty about it because they don't do what they should be doing your very important to the european union you're a very important strategically very important and i think they should spend a lot more in helping ukraine and they know that also they actually tell me that but they don't seem to produce so i'm sure you'll talk to them and i'll certainly be talking to them thank you very much from then. you know or now we need to i want to tell you that we now are told the new concrete and sort of but we don't need help we need support real support and we thank thinks ever by you
3:13 am
think all of the european concert. we also want to have more. more bonds. i understand what all. america and the view on it together we can stop the war and. you know. we are ready we just want to tell them we are remember did we have the biggest country in europe but we want to be the richest one you troops in my heart. you know you have great people in ukraine and you have very talented people there isn't much of manufacturing in terms of some of the things they do and will be doing we're doing creating already but we should be doing a lot more trading with ukraine but we have very talented people they make great things. at the top of the line really so that's very important and the other thing is i've heard you actually have over the last fairly short period of time really really made some progress with russia here
3:14 am
a lot of progress and from the just keep it going to end the whole disaster. course we're all going to tell you before the 4th. than relations russia will prolong so long in it i mean that you have to know and i want walter to know that that now we have the new team the new policy the new government so now we will. about $74.00 laws new laws we shall hope and for a one year reforms land reform big berlin. there's a lawyer both that concession and did we early loaded that general percy cured and we launched. sideris secretary is right since it is. and i'm to cops in court as we came we did it with the launch of the un to
3:15 am
corruption court it what it began to war on the 5th of september and it was you know it was off 35 days we had been about. so we already we want to show that we we just just come and if somebody or if you we know you want to help us so just let's do business cases. we have many in the west bank cases where it. and stop corruption in ukraine because that will really make you great that will make you great personally would also. be so tremendously a nation in terms of what you want to do and where you want to take it thank you very much it's a good thing to try to. if. i think you read them or think so you i think you read the facts i
3:16 am
am i'm sorry but i don't want to be involved to do a critical all from. loot elections elections all of us say no you sure that we hadn't. i think good phone call it was normal we spoke about many seemed and a lot so i think the you'll read is that nobody bullshit bush me yes and no credit reference probably didn't know why there was no pressure and no there was and by the way you know there was no pressure and you have to do is see if one of the call but you know that you could ask the question and i appreciate the answer you go live with my friend. or why you know i wife him to do whatever he can get this was not his fault you were there for here recently but
3:17 am
whatever he can do in terms of corruption because the corruption is massive now when biden son walks away with millions of dollars from ukraine he knows nothing and they're paying them millions of dollars at corruption when vide side walks out of canada with $1500000000.00 in the final and the biggest funds in the war ok get money out of giant and he's there for one quick pleading and flies it on air force 2. i think that's a horrible thing i think it's a horrible thing but i want to have already done that i know the president and i have read a lot about ukraine have been a lot about a lot of countries you want to stop corruption he was elected i think number one on the basis of stopping corruption which unfortunately has played ukraine and if he could do that he's doing really the whole world a big favor i know and i think he's going to be successful mr president how do you i think it's. what we do that is really i will tell you i will
3:18 am
tell you this that. looking to also find out where the phony when john started how we are russia which on that turns out to be too. and a half years of phony nonsense and rudy giuliani is a great lawyer he was a great man he's highly respected i've watched the passion that he's added on television over the last few days i think it's incredible the lady what he that is he wants to find out where did this russian week that you people really help perpetrate where did it start how come it startle it was all nonsense it was a hoax it was a total hopes it was a media hoax and a democrat whether to and really got every right to go and find out where that started and other people are looking at that to see where did it start the enablers wit it all come from it was at a financial and i think he's got a very strong right to do it he's a good lawyer he knows exactly what he's doing and it's very important mysterious
3:19 am
right is unique that this injunction to leave. you this whole i think they could be given a 30000 that you believe in yes yes i think they could very well one yells in this place because frankly i think that one of the great crimes committed is still replace the leader 33000 e-mails after congress center subpoena think of that you can't even do that in a civil case you can't get rid of evidence like that she deleted 33000 e-mails after not before after receiving a subpoena from the u.s. gunners i mean i've never heard that she's done far worse than that although i don't know how much worse it can be but there were many other things she did that were wrong but that's so obvious she gets a subpoena from the united states congress and she deletes them and then she said as i remember that oh well they had to do with the wedding and yoga she does a lot of yoga right so they had 33000 e-mails about the wedding of her daughter and
3:20 am
yoga i don't think so how she got away with that one is just but it's one of many and it's corrupt government because we have corruption also. so mr president we have a lot of corruption in our government and when you see what happened with hillary clinton when you see what happened with khomeini and negated all of these people we have a lot of things going on here too hopefully it's going to be found out very soon but i think that a lot of progress has been made a lot of progress has been because you did it also means. well we're working with ukraine and we want other countries to work with ukraine when i say work i'm referring to money they should put up more money we've put a lot of money i gave you an anti-tank busters that frankly president obama was sending you pull us and sheets and i gave you had to take us just a lot of people didn't want to do that but i did it and i really hope that russia because i really believe that president putin would like to do something i really
3:21 am
hope that you and president putin get together and can solve your problem that would be a tremendous achievement and i know you're trying to do the rest of us. in the present i'll use it. just so i could ask. matt at what i say you know i haven't but i think i think he did and i think that somebody if you look at what he did so bad for his son he goes to china he walks away with a 1000000000 and a half dollars he goes to ukraine did you walk away with $50000.00 a month and a lot of money in addition to that and the whole thing with the prosecutor ukraine and he's on take this is like maybe he did it maybe he did he's not. doing this i saw this a while ago i look at it is that that's incredible i've never seen anything like that now either he's dumb or a thought he was in a room full of really good friends. already it's a combination of both of his presence and i am sure your question very much trying
3:22 am
i mean that we have independent country and independent general security m bush anyone you know that is that of the question that is the answer so i didn't call somebody or the new general security i didn't ask him i didn't bullshit him that you love me. not it's just short it's. going to cause a man of your mind then we don't know where you are before he in the movie. obligated to do what. some of the other members of the media and even when you join when he doesn't need to. when he said i only got a lot of well the last few years because of him we were going to lose your deal crane none of that was not great and they had a lot on a program with that when i know we learned about shaka zulu that in the chair smell
3:23 am
of the number of natives active make the. exact human boss we had on the chair would do in the event that involving one of the problems you give the water would be done. yep i'm in the show and you know you have women that bluefish that alone and even opening up must come by the yes but at least by the beach of books movies should live with me with my big sis probably these with probably icky you. know greenfield life some might don and think. of what if but is then even. put into the don't you want to see i'm sorry. if investigation really a one of them on the floor had to play him in this and then fundraiser we have and he'll prosecutors generally great hypothetical man with a western education in his sleep to investigate any case against innocent is a profit well we have many more issues to care about and to decide help we have
3:24 am
a bill of miles we have my we have corruption cases as the president local luncheon about that so we know what to do and will know where to go what to tackle how do you tell us if you're going to tragedy and what's not. right this guy did us. either way at. one and all the pieces he's lost the way he's been taken over by the radicals and he may be a less radical left their self but he really has lost her way i spoke to her about guns yesterday she didn't know or saw her but she's not interested in go up a wife nancy pelosi is not interested in guns and gun protection and gun safety if she's thinking about is there she's been taken over by the radical left the whole democratic party and you take a look at what's happening in the media today the whole 'd party is taken over by the left and thank you very much my poll numbers have gone up but i don't want to go for this reason why they love it when you see what's happening people are really
3:25 am
angry at democrats they're really angry at the democrat party and things like as an example drug prices getting drugs down things like gun safety infrastructure if the democrats can talk about that. because they've been taken over by a radical group of people and their people oh she is far as i'm concerned unfortunately he's going to speaker of the house thank you very much you're going to have more you know because you know. i. thank you very much. well the reality t.v. star turned president with the t.v. comedian turned president in a what felt like made for t.v. moment that is the presidents of the united states and ukraine speaking in new york . landscape perhaps something about the best when he said it's better to be on t.v.
3:26 am
then on the phone or reference to of course the phone called a memo which has been released by the white house today that corresponds with that conversation and say between those 2 presidents. i'm going to go to kimberly how could our white house correspondent almost need to take a breath after that when kimberly because it was quite extraordinary when it came down to it though when the 2 presidents were asked about the phone call about what it meant it seemed to me that donald trump was trying to frame it all through the prism of corruption in ukraine not necessarily joe biden or his son but this is corruption in ukraine which i was going after. yeah it was really interesting i took from that presser there that there were really kind of 2 parts to it there was the now and then there was the 2016 and when we talk about the now right now being that phone call with the president of ukraine a lot of years olinsky. it seems that donald trump either missed or deliberately
3:27 am
ignored a big part about what the ukrainian president was saying essentially he was very clear he said he was fighting 2 wars the 1st being corruption the 2nd being the threat of russia the fact that crimea had been annexed by russia doesn't trump seem to disregard that and instead talk about how he had been more supportive of ukraine than the previous administration that that annexation did not happen under his watch it happened under barack obama really trying to distance himself and then almost simplify the the problem that ukraine faces and that is in terms of trying to recapture that territory that he basically said i really hope new and lattimer putin the russian president can figure this out it's a really big problem and i hope you can end the whole what he called the disaster but this gets to the crux of that phone call and why democrats here in capitol hill are considering impeachment proceedings against the president they accuse the president of speaking to the very same leader back in july and holding hostage aid
3:28 am
that had been approved for the very thing that this president says he needs help with if he did not investigate donald trump's political rival former vice president joe biden so that's what is the big issue on capitol hill right now but you see the president there trying to spin it and characterize it as something quite different than what democrats allege and that is that the crux of the story is a misuse of presidential power so the democrats just to go back to the point of the actual phone conversation which was sort of referenced by the 2 leaders there the democrats view is that there was enough in that transcript a memo. that came from the white house there is enough there to show that don't trump was. what he was inferring i guess in the east with with the ukrainian president. yes the white house has released a transcript or not a transcript but a sort of a a memo detail in the conversation one that we believe has been edited the feeling
3:29 am
is is that this in fact well doesn't express lee state that the president held this contingent this aide that what he did was he implied or inferred that it would only be subject to an investigation of former or current rival of donald trump's namely joe biden who is now running against on the trip to try and be the democratic presidential nominee and sort of halt his reelection bid what was interesting in there is we heard from the ukrainian president he said look i've read all of this i don't want to be involved in the u.s. election he came to donald trump's defense saying list was a good normal phone call nobody pushed me and don't really try to say in other words no pressure and he kind of seemed as if he was going along with the talking points there because then he continued to kind of discuss what he sees as an ongoing threat and that is the pressure from russia the fact that ukraine is dealing with the annexation of crimea something that downturn really tried to gloss
3:30 am
over so it seemed like at one point they were trying to speak in lockstep but at the same time there was a very clear advocation by the ukrainian president on behalf of his country and that's where things seem to differ between his talking points and that of the u.s. president donald trump. extraordinary day it has been and we thank you for your guidance through it kimberly how our white house correspondent in washington. but it doesn't stop there the british prime minister is facing repeated calls to resign after parliament reconvene for the 1st time since its suspension was deemed illegal more on that now in a london new center with felicity barr. bias kemal yes boris johnson's been fronting up to m.p.'s saying he believed the supreme court ruling all parliaments prior gratian was wrong period supposition members are demanding johnson stepped down over the illegal suspension but johnson is challenge the opposition labor
3:31 am
party to state call for a vote of no confidence which could lead to a general election nor has the latest from westminster. parliament's back the protesters are out again and we're inside the gloves are off and the knives are out from the usa came the prime minister otherwise known as the healing punch by the public don't want another referendum but what they want and what they demand is that we all know the promise we made to the voters to respect the 1st referendum. sharon try to move on to put bricks it behind us and focus on the n.h.s. on violent crime i don't cutting the cost of living and that is why i brought forward a queen's speech this government intends to present a program for life after bricks it was roundly heckled they were shouting at him to
3:32 am
resign the judges concluded there was no reason and i quote let alone a good reason for the prime minister to have shut down parliament on line after yesterday's ruling mr speaker the prime minister should have done the honorable thing and resigned i i. i was. i i johnson keeps trying to blame the opposition to blocking praxis and insists he's making progress with the european union on his opponents say he's lying every single thing that boris. since done since he became prime minister has gone wrong for him he's lost every single vote in parliament lost over 20 of his own m.p.'s who now have no loyalty to him and he's been accused of misleading the queen and unlawfully suspending parliaments it's one thing him saying he wants to get on with
3:33 am
his plans but in politics everything's about momentum and at the moment he hardly has any as to progress in the u.k.'s preparations for dealing with a no deal bracks it's that also seems as clear as mud earlier the man in charge of bracks at preparations was asked repeatedly with by politicians from all sides whether the country would be ready but much of it was a bit like this will lead to weekly food basket of an average low income family be higher or lower all this say in the event of a new deal so. it's a very fair point but the it is one of those questions it's one of those questions that it is impossible to answer. the government's expected to try to hold another vote on having a national election it's already lost too because all the opposition parties won't do it's until they're sure.
