indeed before even the saudi government give up with just a. matter in a saudi consulate on al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera. this is the news hour live from coming up in the next 60 minutes or allegations about donald trump as an impeachment inquiry intensifies the u.s. president is accused of pressuring a 2nd foreign leader for his political agenda. meanwhile the u.s. president's lawyer rudy giuliani is subpoenaed foot documents about ukraine. china begins a massive show of strength to mark the 70th anniversary of the people's republic as it costs a watchful eye over protesters in hong kong. power struggle in peru the opposition
5:01 am
majority parliament convenes despite being dissolved while the president's supporters take to the streets. on a california law that could pave the way for student athletes in the u.s. to get a share of the $1000000000.00 industry of college sports. donald trump's presidency looks set to be engulfed in another political firestorm over reports that he asked a 2nd foreign leader for political help the new york times says the u.s. president asked the australian prime minister to help the justice department investigate the miller inquiry which examined russian interference in the $26.00 elections it comes as trump faces an impeachment inquiry over his dealings with ukraine democrats in the u.s. house and now demanding documents from his personal. lawyer rudy giuliani and the
5:02 am
wall street journal is reporting that u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o is among those who listened in to the call between trump and the ukrainian president trump asked for law to me as a lenski to investigate the son of his political rival joe biden well in a few moments we'll get the latest from australia the australian perspective from andrew thomas and city but 1st let's go to patty culhane in washington patty as we've been saying over the past few hours the case seems to be intensifying against the president but the president again and again along with those close to him saying there's nothing to see here and now new revelations that the president and a certain prime minister the prime minister australia have some dealings to. you know think about this it's just been a matter of days since this news broke about this ukraine controversy and the democrats in the house that they were going to launch an inquiry and impeachment
5:03 am
inquiry and it seems every single day since then there's been more revelations and now we're seeing this with reports in the wall street journal new york times the washington post which we are working to try and verify but what they're saying is basically the tribe called up a few weeks ago the prime minister of australia scott morrison and asked him to help his attorney general william barr look into the origins of the russian bust occasion so there's the one thing that the impeachment is focused on which is the ukraine controversy this has to do with what has been bothering the president since he wanted action when it came out that the intelligence community had been looking at whether or not his campaign colluded with the russian government to interfere in the 2016 election so when he got his attorney general in william barr he said he wanted to investigation into how the investigation started and so now we know that the president himself reads out to the australian prime minister and now there are other reports that it didn't end there that william barr personally went over and
5:04 am
asked the u.k. united kingdom for help and the people in italy these intelligence community and so why is this a big deal well it would be unprecedented think about this this is an attorney general the highest law enforcement officer in the united states asking the kids own countries allies to investigate his own intelligence services so that is of course going to be another thing for congress to look into as this looks like it's going to continue to broaden. we've been waiting for trump's lawyer rudy giuliani to speak on us t.v. firstly has he spoken and what's he been saying. he has and perhaps not surprising this is very friendly territory for all trump confidants and friends and trump himself this is the right wing conservative cable news talk shows sean hannity's show one of the biggest cheerleaders of the president it is if you're watching it as if you're watching a bit of an alternative universe because the facts such as we know that you can biden push for the prosecutor in ukraine to be fired because he wasn't looking into
5:05 am
corruption if you look at hannity show it's all about the fact that he fired the prosecutor because he was looking at his son's company the company that is sunset on the board of so it's not necessarily based in what we know as reality but it is a friendly place for rudy giuliani to go on and he did speak it was a bit rambling but it was really focused on mostly the wrongdoing that he alleges biden did which he didn't in fact do and as far as will he testify he said maybe if they did allow me to use by videotapes and my charts didn't go into what any of that meant so it didn't make any news but it's once again rudy giuliani sending very mixed messages about what he's willing to do and again he might not be willing to testify but he might have to because he has actually gone on t.v. another appearance and said i'm not the president's lawyer simply getting rid of all the client privilege so you didn't make any big news today but he continues to send the message that pretty much every time he's going to send a different message. thank you very much wolf for more on the conversation of the
5:06 am
dealings between president trump and the prime minister australia let's cross over to andrew thomas who's live for us in sydney under the reaction been like way you are the revelations involving the australian prime minister. we haven't heard from scott morrison the prime minister himself but a spokesperson for australia's government essentially said this is all routine the leader of a friendly government also you've studied this government for help and inquiry i will study suggests of course we'll do what we can to help. spokes person said this is training government has always been ready to assist incorporates with the efforts that help shed further lights on the matter is under investigation the pm scott morrison confirmed this readiness once again in a conversation with the president now back in may of this year when trump said that he was going to watch the attorney general so looking to the origins of the mother inquiry back then australia's ambassador to the us we now know who sent
5:07 am
a letter to the us government saying that then australia's government would do all it can to help as well so all this is in a sense is a repetition of that private commitment given back in may but perhaps not surprisingly the opposition here in australia sees things rather differently in the last hour and now the maisie who is scott morrison's of labor rival to be prime minister of australia come the next election will he say that this is all very murky and that lots of questions need to be answered in terms of what australia's prime minister has done and will answer the album easy terms his assistant is assistance in discrediting the investigation he says he doesn't want to strain as prime minister embroiled in what is essentially a domestic political issue within the united states he sees base inquiry that the attorney general in the us has launched as a political inquiry that scott morrison has got embroiled with and already scott morrison has come under fire for being much too close to president starting prime minister was in the u.s.
5:08 am
last week for a state visit that involved a month other things going up on stage in ohio and what looked like a campaign rally alongside president something along just quiet hail ready the studies prime minister it's too close to president trump and this would have here confirm that. in sydney thank you very much celebrations have begun in china marking 70 years since the communist party took power large parades are being held in beijing aimed at reflecting the country's increased wealth and military strength. china's president xi jinping is making a speech let's have a listen to what he say we sincerely center best wishes to the people's republic of china. on behalf of the c c p c national people's congress state council of the p.r.c. . the national committee of the chinese people's political consultant of

5:16 am
long live the chinese people. ministry prates now commence. you have been watching live pictures direct from beijing vast crowds there now to listen to the chinese president xi jinping the country is marking the country's national day the foundation of the communist state in 1940 day 49 a day marked by huge parades as you can see but also a chance for china to showcase what the modern country house to offer to the world he also talked about the need to keep the spirits of the founders of the communist state alive the spirit of chairman mao he said should remain
5:17 am
a key vision for the country he also referred some warts to some of the criticisms perhaps of the country's faced over its handling of the situation in hong kong he said that the one country 2 systems arrangement must remain alive and that unity was the main goal for the country going ahead well we've got correspondents in hong kong and beijing but let's go 1st to rob matheson who's standing by there in beijing rob an important day clearly for china a country that's been 3 massive changes since it adopted communism what's happening there in beijing what did you make of this rousing speech. well in many ways this speech gave us nothing that we weren't expecting already it was widely expected that president xi jinping was going to treat this as a rallying call for the people of china to get behind his presidency and also get behind the communist party of china and the government of china he made reference
5:18 am
to it was the intention to continue to satisfy people's needs for a better life perhaps an indication that the economy the state of the economy is very much on the minds of the chinese government at the moment back in the 2nd quarter of 29 t. the chinese economy for the 1st time started to slow down its slowdown of expansion about c. point 2 percent compared to 6.4 percent at the start of the year and now that may not like to see much of a drop but for china it's significant it was the 1st time in 27 years that china's economy has actually slowed down very slightly this is of extreme concern to the government it wants to maintain the impression that is in charge of a successful economy and that the chinese people are benefiting from having the communist party and the beijing government and president xi jinping in charge but it was interesting also what you mentioned before the references to being peaceful united and. heading towards the development of the one country 2 systems for hong
5:19 am
kong and macau as well that's another of china's special territories now obviously hong kong is proving to be a significant embarrassment for president xi jinping but also the chinese government at this time particularly when these anniversary celebrations are going on in a speech he made last night elected to the anniversary president xi jinping insisted that there would be a continuation of autonomy and he said that hong kong people would continue to govern hong kong but whether or not china steps in to take action if the protests we're seeing him call on continue over the next few weeks is of course yet to be seen that's something that people are speculating on a lot at the moment but interestingly and just finally this also is of course a message towards taiwan because china views taiwan very much as part of its territory taiwan does not want to be associated with china but again china wants to
5:20 am
implement the one country 2 systems plan in taiwan as well taiwan is rejecting that partly because it is seen what has been going on in hong kong so this again perhaps an appeal or a statement made towards taiwan as well to say that this system can still work. robin in beijing thank you very much let's bring in scott hyde learn who's live for us in hong kong scott as you heard there from from robert a message perhaps from president she jeeping that the one country 2 systems arrangement will remain that unity is the main goal of the chinese government how do you think that kind of message of unity will go down there in hong kong given the weeks and weeks of protests that we've seen. well you can imagine that the other protesters absolutely disagree with those statements and those statements you
5:21 am
know that particularly the unity message that she's in pain delivered as rob was saying that is something that has been really a focal point of his ruling he has always focused on that he's always focused on the one china and the so that is something that's not new but obviously yes reiterating it today again on the 7th anniversary of the founding of the people's republic of china will not sit well with the protesters here was something else that was interesting you know in the building behind me there was a ceremony a flag raising ceremony marking this national day here and the acting chief executive he also acting chief executive for hong kong he also talked about the one country 2 systems being the way to go in the way that they are very focused on governing here in hong kong again obviously that goes directly against what these protesters have been calling for in these months almost 4 months of protests on the streets here in hong kong so yes that it's not a new message but it being reiterated today obviously yes there's not will not sit well with the protesters here thank you very much for leds bringing. who is
5:22 am
canada's ambassador to china from 2012 to 2016 and he joins us now live from montreal via skype. thank you very much for joining us i'm close to what you make of this important address by the chinese leader a call for unity a call to reiterating the one country 2 systems arrangement he seemed in some way to be for stollings some of the criticisms that he's faced about the handling of the likes of thailand macau hong kong what did you make of the speech. well i think it's a you know what i would have expected from him unity is one of the paramount goals of the chinese government fact since the the creation of the people's republic of china 75 years ago but i would say that the that the problem with hong kong is that china does not know how to end all the protests that they
5:23 am
don't have and that bit of. democracy don't know how it works and for death it's a. very worrisome situation because the they were worried that the contestation on kong would spread to the mainland. at the same time do know also that the need on comfort their future economy prosperity and they have their eye on the election that will take place and i want generally so for those reasons i think that. they did have to try to try to show some openness but pretty sure that there are also people in beijing saying that it may be time should do in intervene more forcefully. if we could cost them at a bit wider i mean given recent trade wars between the u.s. and china in the tit for tat arrests that we've seen of canadians arrested in china
5:24 am
a senior while a executive arrested in canada do you think it's getting easier or harder to day basis with china. well i think that. we have seen the the dark side of china we deal response to canadians in retaliation for. the you know walkway executive in november who are. i think also there's still a problem with a lack of pursuit prosody in many areas that still remain difficult for many foreign companies to do business of course the pressures that that been put on by the u.s. administration that's led to some significant. opening especially in the financial sector and we have to 0 debt china will finally deliver on the commitments it made when you joined the world trade organization back in 2001 but at the same time you know we have to contrast this with the actually got to make
5:25 am
situation and trying now which is not very good now. unemployment is growing up because of the tensions with the u.s. because also at the level of depth and so it's it's not easy for the chinese government to try to find best. where looking at live pictures now of the chinese president actually surveying vast numbers of troops and military hardware they have in beijing what you think the west should do about sensitive issues taiwan alleged territorial expansion in the south china sea how is it possible that both would quit china but still hold to account well it's a it's getting more difficult to work with china because in my experience with china i will plea along international rules and abide by international. suits it's purpose when it does not like in the case of the start.
5:26 am
i can't sorry go ahead oh yes yes i can i can hear you you know go ahead you were saying. yeah i can hear you yeah. go ahead you are telling us about the west and its relations with the with china whether it's still able to hold the country to account and working with it as well the same time you know well it's getting more difficult to hold it to account specially i would say on the human rights proctor china refused to discuss issues for instance like the human rights situation in st john which is at this moment with more than 1000000 people would be detained in camps so i think the. western countries especially i think it's important to work together
5:27 am
to try to reinforce the multilateral system auto wise if you try to deal with china. on an individual basis i don't think that you can go very far china if you criticize china you will be an issue it mediately and therefore we have to find ways to make china a better global citizen. thank you very much for your insight thank you now an alleged chinese government spy has been arrested in the united states edward paying a naturalized u.s. citizen was working as a tour guide in california prosecutors say he was living a double life as an illegal foreign agent for china the department of justice believes paying provided chinese officials we classified information about u.s. national security bruce president monson this guy has dissolved the opposition
5:28 am
controlled congress for scholars decision comes as lawmakers defied him by electing a judge to the constitutional tribunals the scar has said he would defend the country from what he described as a corrupt mafia opposition politicians have accused the scholar of trying to orchestrate a power grab. iscar stressed his decision was legal and pledged to hold new parliamentary elections. the closure that i announce is within my power as it seeks to give a democratic can't participate or a solution to a problem that the country has been dragging for more than 3 years ending this stage of political entrapment that has prevented peru from growing at the pace of its possibilities we are making history and this moment will be remembered by the following generations. meanwhile congress has convened despite its dissolution opposition members are preparing a motion to impeach president vickery accusing him of overstepping constitutional
5:29 am
bounds they say they'll seek to oust him on the grounds that he is morally incapable of governing while marianna sanchez joins us live now in lima the president has dissolved congress looks like impeachment may be looming was the latest. well me if that didn't that is apparently not happening because this is a very fast moving story and just in the last few minutes congress has declared the vacancy of the presidency they have the clear that precedent. carries unfit to hold the presidency of the country and they as we speak are swearing in the vice president mrs doust. she. vice president mrs house as i said has been sworn in they are singing the national anthem as we speak and is she has given a very short speech just a few minutes ago where she said that the solution to the crisis was not
5:30 am
a populist one and that it was didn't come through the solving congress and she said that the move the decision by president discover is unconstitutional is the measure is unconstitutional and she's taking over the presidency temporary leave this and like i say is happening right now there are protests ongoing in the center of lima outside of congress there are riot police of congress the perimeter in the center of the of the city where congress and the national palace is has been already has been surrounded by police and it is unclear what will happen how did how did it come out about this way it happened when early hours of the morning president had been discussed sent his prime minister to congress to ask for
5:31 am
a confidence vote because the president considered that. pointing magistrates to their tribe you know to the constitutional tribe you know it was a process that was being done by congress with a lack of transparency a process that usually takes between $30.00 to $90.00 days to have been done in 5 days this is a tribunals that is very important in a country that can have a saying in the carwash investigations and the also the tribunal can have a say in the future of. the leader of the of the. party the most powerful party in the country the power. party that controls congress right now and she's in jail i mean. the investigation of the carwash investigation and so this new point a tribe you know can have a say in her future the 3. so right now the situation is moving we don't know what is going to happen what will precedent. will he use the army will he use the
5:32 am
police to enter congress is very unclear. at this point we've seen very very fast moving developments in lima marianna sanchez thank you very much. still ahead on al-jazeera more trouble for u.k. prime minister polis johnson he's facing allegations of personal misconduct as the breaks it leaves break the deadline looms. and in sports scotland proved too good for samoa or the rugby world cup peter. we're seeing some very heavy rain now starting to make its way in taiwan and that's

5:34 am
days as well and that rain will sit in a similar area and still quite a few showers into the west and guess one or 2 still this for like. good weather sponsored by countdown to this. week's storms generate for. thousands of headlines it seems that much the media is still struggling with how to deal with it with different angles from different perspectives and you hold to separate the spin from the facts. the misinformation from the journalism how carefully must use your words but some tough stuff has to be said so some critics have to be made listening post on al-jazeera. on the streets of greece anti immigrant violence is on the rise there or you have to go for. the sun that. says something and increasingly migrant farm workers are victims of vicious beatings.
5:35 am

5:37 am
about alleged government corruption spiraling inflation and a shortage of gasoline. has this update from port au prince thousands of people took to the streets in the haitian capital port au prince on monday as we've seen in days past people burning tires they set up roadblocks there were instances of people attacking police stations cars set on fire of course the big concern is over loss of life unfortunately we can confirm that at least one person was killed within the context of the protests that took place on monday opposition leaders continue to call for more protests saying that the only way out of this crisis is the resignation of haitian president should no more ways now there is an international delegation of ambassadors that are in haiti that are trying to mediate the ongoing political crisis calling on the opposition to a negotiating table but opposition leaders say that they are on willing to negotiate again saying that the only solution here is for the president to step down meanwhile public services are are at
5:38 am
a standstill there public schools have been closed until further notice there's an ongoing fuel shortage making daily life very difficult in haiti unfortunately there's no way to know exactly when that further notice is going to and. well for more on this let's bring in samuel dargo in who's the executive director of the haitian american caucus he joins us now from port au prince via skype firstly you explain what exactly is fueling these protests one of the protest is specifically saying about the president's handling or at least mishandling of the economy absolutely i think what we need to really understand 'd about the situation that's going on here in haiti is the fact that the haitian people are just really fed up because i feel like they have been in a position where they have tried to come to the table come to talks but they are understanding that nothing is really changing for their daily lives there's a gas shortage here for the past year and haitians are literally watched their
5:39 am
lives become more typical day by day not sure how they go into it on a daily basis and they're not sure when their kids are going to be able to go to school the health care systems are extremely bad and the only way that they can see for there to be a solution is for the president to step down it sounds also very much like the president is under pressure internationally to i mean he was backed by the united states but in july 2800 he tried to stop energy subsidies under pressure from the international monetary fund he seems like he's divided between local loyalties and international pressure. absolutely and i think at some point the haitian people have asked when the haitian people have to be able to understand that you know the president. is working to make their lives better when i speak to you know people here on the ground they're telling me they must they literally feel as if they have
5:40 am
no else to lose and that literally fighting to exist test and you know when you see the protests and yes they are violent and you know there have been victims but when you speak to people here on the ground they're saying well we have nothing else to lose we are just so much uncertainty here we need to you know go about this route to actually have a voice 'd is heard and i think for for so many decades we have been literally trying to you know sure the center has been not the actual disease and i think what you're seeing here in the streets of port au prince are haitian people are really at a breaking point where they understand that you know this is it's either you know. it's in a protest or you know down the uncertainty here is just under president and when it comes to leadership only small turnit if leadership what options are there how's
5:41 am
the opposition in the country handling all of this. absolutely i mean you know the you know the. the opposition is is is here and a lot of the protests that you are seeing. it is being supported in some part by the opposition but i think we need to be really careful to not let the politics really kind of. you know put a shadow on what at the at the core that the haitian people are demanding and while there's a lot of politics involved i think the you know what the asian people are asking for is just you know the basic you know human rights that everyone else is looking for some real dog or an importer prince thank you very much for joining us thank you the british prime minister boss johnson has denied accusations by a journalist that he great 1020 years ago the case has been overshadowing the 2nd day of the annual conservative party conference and manchester where we challenge
5:42 am
is there. questions questions questions boris johnson attended the conservative party conference facing many what is his bricks it strategy did he improperly favor a u.s. entrepreneur with public money when he was london mayor and the latest that he groped female journalists 20 years ago his answer is no you and i think what the public want to hear is about what we're doing to level up and unite the country that's debatable but it's certainly the view amongst women party members i spoke to i don't think it really mountains i think that he and the service personnel it's a woman just amazed getting back to school that you know he's trying to do his job under so much smearing on the mainland and also that can't help but think that this isn't just another one of the smear against get breakfast done is boris johnson's oft repeated mantra he still insists he'll do this on oct 31st no if snow buts
5:43 am
deal or no deal but neither he nor his adviser dominic cummings of explain how they'll get around paula mantra legislation that expressly forbids crushing out of the european union with no acceptable settlement in place and they are both asked repeatedly of course that happened on time you go to ask you the same question but mr cummings cryptic responses we should just have to wait and see opposition leaders fear a trick and they met in london on monday to strategize about the liberal democrats choice winston says they won't push ahead with a vote of no confidence in the government this week even understands that if anything that would just increase the rest of the breaks that and therefore play into the forest of. some inside the policy lament the path taken by johnson and cummings to dominic grieve has consistently rebelled against a hard line breaks it where watching me particularly with mr cummings has behaved
5:44 am
and. it's somebody who frankly has a maoist revolution review of how politics should be conducted and appears to be willing to smash anything up for the sake of achieving his end goal well that is very dangerous. there was a question about the fate of this conference following last week's supreme court ruling that the government suspension of parliament was unlawful at least that one now has an answer but on who will be leading this country and if it will still be part of the e.u. in a month's time in the words of dominic cummings we'll see. how does era manchester with world leaders past and present have attended the funeral for former french leader jacques chirac president of manual mccrone was joined by his russian counterpart vladimir putin and the former u.s. president bill clinton for the service in paris thousands of people lined the streets outside the church as the coffin was taken on a procession through the capital. still ahead and sports has
