president's functions and promote the vice president as supporters take to the streets. and at least one person has been killed in protests in haiti as many continue to demand the resignation of president juvenile noise. so donald trump's presidency looks set to be engulfed in yet another farce charm over reports that he asked a 2nd foreign leader for political help the new york times says the u.s. president austria's trillian prime minister to help the justice department investigate the buller inquiry that examined the russian interference in the 2016 election article here and has this report. for us president donald trump right now it's all about the investigations the impeachment investigation into his dealings with ukraine. and now another one published reports say that the president

reached out to australian prime minister scott morrison for help looking into how the investigation into russian election interference got started and he's not alone his attorney general william bar reportedly did the same with the united kingdom and italy if true this would be unprecedented u.s. officials asking allies to help them investigate u.s. intelligence agencies and the congressional investigation into the ukrainian controversy is speeding ahead on monday new subpoenas for trump's confidant rudy giuliani's documents and his dealings with ukraine giuliani responded saying he might testify but is still claiming he is trump's lawyer which could imply attorney client privilege but analyst jeff hauser says giuliani has publicly said something very different rudy giuliani has said that he is not actually transpersonal attorney he is doing essentially emissary work on behalf of trump as an individual

on the trump campaign and that does not provide any sort of privilege which would protect his documents from going to congress the president has been taking to twitter and to the cameras to pronounce he's done nothing wrong the response from democrats in congress will find out and fast decline al-jazeera washington. to thomas says more from sydney. the spokesperson for australia's government essentially said that there's nothing unusual about this phone call in a statement they said the ghostwriting government has always been ready to assist and cooperate with efforts that help shed further light on the matters under investigation and the prime minister scott morrison confirmed this readiness once again in a conversation with the president so they've characterized it there merely as the prime minister of australia helping out the leader of a friendly country the us president in an ongoing investigation well the opposition party here in australia sees things very differently they think that this is scott morrison helping donald trump with what is essentially

a political investigation into a political problem the militia investigation and they have said that his assistance is in display to say that mullah investigation and into the album they see the leader of the opposition here has said that australia's prime minister has involved himself in what is essentially a domestic issue inside the united states and has a lot of explaining to do well australia is involved you know with the base because it was a conversation between an australian diplomat in london and an aide to the then trump campaign back in $26.00 saying that kick started the more inquiry george papadopoulos a young aide on the trunk campaign told alexander downer the australian high commissioner in london at the time that the russian so you believe had on hillary clinton that they were going to leak during the campaign and that meant that trump was more likely to win the election than he might otherwise explain alex on the down effect that information back to australia's capital camera and in turn his

superiors in town berthold important enough information to tell the f.b.i. and that is where the whole millette investigation began well there's a lot of conspiracy theories perhaps in the us that that initial conversation in london was in some way orchestrated by the clinton campaign and that in many ways is what donald trump is trying to prove in some ways through this investigation so that's australia's involvement and here is scott morrison australia's prime minister saying that he will do what he can to help donald trump those inquiries. celebrations have begun in china marking 70 years since the communist party took power large parades are being held in beijing reflecting the country's increased wealth and that military strength these are live pictures from there. we have to maintain the peaceful united one country 2 systems principle to keep

hong kong and macau as long term prosperity and stability and to push the relationship on each side to develop peacefully and we will keep realizing and keep working hard to realize the peaceful unification of china. and rob matheson has more from beijing. these 70th anniversary celebrations were an opportunity for china to be able to show off its military strength we've seen thousands of troops we've seen hundreds of tanks and aircraft this was definitely china saying to the world we are a strong military force but it was also an opportunity for president xi jinping to send a cautionary note to the people of china yes he said we should celebrate the achievements that china has made up to this point but also we should be careful there is a rough road ahead i know this suggests that what he's talking about is the state of china's economy earlier on this year the expansion rate of china's economy

slowed to 6.2 percent that's still a significant rate but it's the 1st time in 27 years that china's economy i started to slow down and president xi jinping knows that his government is going to be judged by the chinese people on how he handles the economy the other element of course was references to the situation in hong kong the ongoing protests there just across the border some of which have been directed against the beijing government he reiterated again the china was determined to maintain the one country 2 systems approach that he believed was going to work in hong kong was also working in the special administrative area of macau but also perhaps that was a diplomatic message to taiwan taiwan is resisting challenges from china to become part of china china firmly believes the taiwan should be included in china but taiwan has been watching very closely the protests today going on in hong kong and

have been resisting very strongly any attempt by china to be able to take it over so perhaps president xi using the opportunity to send a message that china will stand by the one country 2 systems approach it will guarantee great. to recall me for special administrative region and sending a message perhaps to taiwan that this system work. i just mentioned hong kong is braced for several mass rallies china celebrates its national day members of the pro-democracy group the league of social democrats gathered in one chart that's one of 6 districts where protests are planned throughout tuesday some metro stations are closed and dozens of shopping malls shut their doors over fears that the protests may turn violent. our correspondent scott hytner is live for us in hong kong scott as we heard there president xi jinping reassuring as that he would up hold the one country 2 systems is going to appease the protesters in any way in

hong kong. no appeasement i can assure you that right now we do know as you mentioned there are some plans for events today but it's going to be difficult for the protesters to do that as you had mentioned you know a lot of the m.t.r. train stations are closed around the areas where some of the protest vents were to take place a levon n.p.r. stations in total we're also hearing the main tunnels coming into hong kong island there are checkpoints at the beginning of those tunnels and so police are looking into the vehicles into the buses this is something they've done in the past particular when it came to protests that were supposed to happen at the airport that was one of the ways that the police were able to kind of clamp down on the numbers though we haven't really seen anything in big form right now there are small protests near here this is where the flag raising ceremony took place a few hours ago there was a small protest group here about 20 they were ushered off pretty quickly by the police looking at that the police have really clamped down the security here they

say because on the eve of national day they said that there was going to be a very very dangerous using their words very very dangerous situation in hong kong today so they use that as leverage to take these efforts make these efforts they have to clamp down on security thousands and thousands of police are on the streets and closing down those at n.p.r. stations it's called hi-lo with the latest from on called thank you very much. proves trouble politicians have voted to spend martin vickery from office and have some voluntary sworn in his vice president the act of defiance comes after vickery dissolved congress in an attempt to stop it from electing judges to the constitutional tribunals but the opposition members remained in congress even off of the executive order well we get more on this from ariana sanchez who joins us live from lina lima montana things have moved very quickly over there what's the latest. that's right things are moving very

well here and the us of now through has 2 presidents president. at the palace and new interim president. congress in congress she was sworn in she was the vice president sworn in by the opposition legislators there and she gave a small speech saying the president decision to close congress was unconstitutional however after congress gives a no vote of confidence for the 2nd time to a president the fee. for a rocket to the ability to close congress so close to it is a move that a part of this constitutionally backed however congress no matter what. might be of the presidency for moral incapacity we know that right now the. whole

place is our hope is moving home with. time president not. at the presidential palace he has received the resignation of all his cabinet members which is the procedure that is expected when congress gets a no vote of confidence to the cabinet he has sworn in a new cabinet chief as it's known here or prime minister and he is meeting with the top brass of the military the armed forces the. marines and the army they are there at the presidential palace to show the president president of the disgust their support outside there are protesters outside of congress people who have for 4 months supported president discover in this political crisis that has been going on for a long time. now and they are there are there is why

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 i know 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 it so that you know he's trying to do his job under so much smearing on the mainland that 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 not if

snow buts deal or no deal but neither he nor his advisor 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 they are both oscar repeatedly of course that happened on time who just because i'm questioned by 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 joyce 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 risk of the reds that and therefore playing into boris johnson. some inside the policy lament the path taken by johnson and cummings to dominic grieve has consistently rebelled against a hardline bracks it where watching me particularly with mr cummings his behavior and its. 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'll still be part of the e.u. in a month's time in the words of dominic cummings we'll see. how desirable manchester . yemen's who the rebels have released hundreds of prisoners it's a move which could revive efforts to end the war that sparked the world's worst humanitarian crisis. has since reports in the capital sana was. raided in front of cameras and told they can go home. these are some of the $350.00 captives released by overseas assured me that it's an overwhelming sense of delight

happiness and pleasure as i am coming home back to my family at a minimum. we hope for the release of prisoners and detainees from all sides simply because we are yemenis and all the prisoners and their families are suffering was on the list drawn under un brokered prisoner swap agreements signed in stockholm in december they needed to release $7000.00 detainees was seen as a breakthrough towards peace but the yemeni government and the fees have blamed each other for failing to implement it both these say this and conditional release should show their commitment about what can you give me your life for we are prepared and willing for an all inclusive swap deal with or they are yemenis or other nationalities and to prove our sincere a team we have initiated the unconditional release of 350 prisoners we have called the united nations to pressure the other side to resupport. among those being held

saudi citizens with these say will be handed over to the red cross ok to hold the release of $350.00 prisoners isn't. good well. to hold their own and was silent inside saudi arabia but they say that hasn't stopped the saudi. from a king targets. aid workers of called for a guest chairs like this as a way to build counter dence with hopes that it can lead to a peaceful resolution the people who were released today were fathers sons brothers of course we hope to see more initiatives in the future bigger numbers from all sides and as the international committee of the red cross we are always ready to act as a new tour facilitator just as we did today in any future release operation so

definitely we are hopeful and we also hope that this release we've got contributes to the revival of the stock on agreement in a media briefing on monday the spokesman for the saudi you equalisation was noncommittal on releasing captives in response to the with the freeing hundreds of fighters according to how the military spokesman they launched a major inside the saudi territory of an iran and destroyed multiple vehicles as well. the show the capture of hundreds of yemeni and saudi soldiers. cannot independently verify the videos the saudi spokesman also cautioned against taking these previews at face value. with these criticised world powers for condemning the a turk and said auriol is a commodity which is not more expensive than the yemeni blood. the new york times is reporting that lebanon's prime minister gave more than
