12:50 pm
absolutely not this was a heinous crime like this but i take full responsibility as a leader in saudi arabia especially since it was committed by individuals working for the saudi government when you heard that people close to you and in your government carried out such a grisly murder and that the american government thinks that you ordered it what did you think. i believe what you mentioned is not correct that there isn't an official statement announced by the american government in this regard while there isn't clear information or evidence that someone close to me did something to that effect there are charges and they're being investigated but again you cannot imagine the pain that we suffered especially as the saudi

12:52 pm

12:53 pm
he made it quite clear he does not want to see any military option as far as. dealing with iran is concerned and he spoke about a war in yemen saying there the potential for a peace deal should be there when the iranians are not stop arming the things was quite interesting also in the interview is other crompton's didn't mention the g.c.c. crisis the blockade imposed by sunday arabia the u.a.e. behind and egypt on qatar the question that has been described as the worst political left in the region in decades raising concerns among the u.s. and many western our allies that if they continue as it could further hamper attempts to contain iran's growing influence in the region and defeat i still in the middle east. well hundreds in saudi arabia have gathered for the funeral of king solomon's bodyguard and mecca major general abdul aziz al fagen was reportedly killed in jeddah by a friend over what's being described as

12:55 pm
claim more than $500.00 people were killed and at least 2000 captured some of them were wearing uniforms like this with the saudi national guard logo but many of these prisoners of war are what the who these are calling yemeni nationals who have been lured and disillusioned by saudi arabia to fight against the whose these. also on display these armored vehicles which the who things say belonged to the saudi military. specialized units cut off the resupply line of the enemy from the east and the west after that the cold was sealed around this personnel from all sides the infantry units turned the ambush into an all out offensive. there who things have also made several other statements in this video none of which al-jazeera can independently verify meanwhile saudi officials have not responded to this video or the claims made by the who theories but for now this appears to be more evidence
12:56 pm
that this conflict is likely to pose further challenges for yemen and the region or such a pari al jazeera. u.s. president donald trump says he deserves to meet his accuser as the push for impeachment proceedings against him kept as pace as comes as house speaker nancy pelosi says public support is growing for an impeachment inquiry into the president it's all over a phone call in which trump asked ukraine's leader to investigate his political rival joe biden and he has more. it was an announcement that changed the political landscape in washington the trail of his oath of office betrayal of our national security house speaker nancy pelosi wants reluctant to stanton pietschmann proceedings change her mind after a transcript of a call between president donald trump and president volodymyr selenski of ukraine was released president trump now stands accused of abusing his power undermining national security and inviting a foreign power to interfere in u.s.
12:57 pm
elections senior democrats on the intelligence committee say the trumpet ministration won't be doing itself any favors if it doesn't cooperate with the white house fight us on this i have to imagine they're going to fight this tooth and nail and yet even as they do with the more that they fight to try to prevent an obstruct the lawful functions of congress the more they're going to make a case for impeachment on obstruction of justice of congress republicans and now rallying behind their embattled president saying donald trump was duty bound to press the ukrainians to look into allegations about joe biden's son hunter and his dealings with the ukrainian energy company trumps personal lawyer rudy giuliani himself an important player in the scandal is likely to be called before house democrats if he decides that he wants him to testify course not testify even though i think adam schiff is an illegitimate chairman this year's already prejudged the case if you want fairness here we've got to put somebody in charge of that
12:58 pm
committee who has an open mind impeachment proceedings are now moving at a pace that neither the republican party nor president from. control of all of all this is a report from a so-called whistleblower deemed credible by the acting director of national intelligence it's thought he or she may appear behind closed doors soon going to ask you what is it for both parties the stakes couldn't be higher republican senator lindsey graham one of the president's closest allies says the accusations a 2nd time lawyer says it's all hearsay you can't get a parking ticket conviction based on hearsay don't whistle blower didn't hear the phone call right who told which is that laura about the phone call and everything else he says done all right because it's going on every american deserves to confront their accuser so this is a sham what's going on now is the single greatest scam president trump is now in the front of his political career and says the proceedings are a hoax democrats say trump's own words from his phone call with the ukrainian
12:59 pm
leader in which he says do me a favor though or a clear violation of the law at a gala crowd azura washington well the house intelligence committee chairman says he expects the whistleblower at the heart of the impeachment inquiry to testify very soon but that's likely to be how the behind closed doors adam schiff comments came as the us president tweeted i deserve to me to my accuser especially when this accuser the so-called whistleblower represented a perfect conversation with a foreign leader in a totally inaccurate and fraudulent way but he also tweeted without citing any evidence us house intelligence chairman adam schiff the law is where made and perhaps the most blatant and sinister man i ever seen in the great chamber i want shift questioned at the highest level for fraud and treason a petty culhane has more from washington d.c. . let's take a look at a few of the president's tweets talking about representative adam schiff who is leading the investigation into him from the house democrats saying that he needs to
1:00 pm
be investigated for treason is incredibly serious treason can carry the death penalty so that is another norm broken by this president he went on to say that he deserves to face his accuser that's not how this works he's not facing a criminal charge in which case he could and he would be entitled to meet his accuser this is a person who came forward under the whistleblower statute so his identity is supposed to be protected that said he's expected to meet with members of congress behind closed doors and that makes it very likely that his identity is going to come out then the president in tweets tried to frame the whistleblower as being wrong in their complaint that in fact is not true because the white house released its own summary of the call before the whistleblower complaint came out and it said very specifically what the whistleblower said happened actually happened on the call so the president's sending the message that he is trying to spin this story sending the message.
