ukase prime minister in it boris johnson laid out his plans and his proposals for a breakthrough deal including his ideas for an alternative to the irish backstop the irish backstop or a clause in the withdrawal agreement that the european union is very determined to keep but something that johnson wants to scrub well in this statement released after that phone call by the european commission has said that he welcomed johnson's determination to make progress towards a deal however it's very clear that there are still many questions for you and e.u. officials as to exactly how boris johnson wants to move forward and said it is absolutely important that any proposals would ensure the integrity of the e.u. single market and also that there would be no return to hard border between northern ireland part of the u.k. and ireland which is part of the european union and it seems that for the european union they're still not convinced that johnson has made it clear how he's exactly

going to do that we've also heard from the main breaks in the goetia to michel barnier who said look there is progress but there is still a lot of work to be done and what will happen now is bonnie will discuss the u.k. proposals with e.u. officials and we understand that in the coming days there will be talks between u.k. and e.u. officials but time is running out of course there's a summit and a you summit on october the 17th and by then that is when anything any new deal would have to be signed so any talks on negotiations that do take place would have to take place very rapidly indeed ok natasha thank you. so had. a day after a student was shot by hong kong police anti beijing protests show no sign of letting up as benjamin netanyahu works to build a coalition legal hearings begin to decide whether he'll face trial for corruption .

we might see a shower or 2 again in the southern part of iran or pakistan as the monsoon trough that really threw it out there disappears one small little as the picture is rather devoid of cloud what there is is just a brief disappearing so in the forecast yes as a hint still of showers in eastern afghanistan funnels of pakistan and again in the south or in iran but they are the exception not the rule the sun is out for most of us with isn't physically strong the temp is still above 40 on the iraqi plane slowly dropping and slowly dropping further west beirut at $27.00 come friday but in the sunshine so he would by day and weather early morning and late even in doha as an example the same is true all way around the gulf striving land there is no particular prevailing wind including down in amman that are if disappearing shop

they will be outraged on out to 0. hello again the top stories on al-jazeera. democrats are accusing president trump of quote blatant effort to intimidate witnesses it's related to his tweets on a whistleblower that's lots of calls for impeachment. police have used live rounds to break up protestors in iraq's capital security forces appear to fire above the crowd at the demonstrations in baghdad there have also been protests in several cities across the country at least 4 people have died

in protests over the past 2 days. and the. proposal contains a series of problematic points nevertheless he says negotiations on the new proposal will happen in the coming days the british prime minister boris johnson is calling it their final offer and one that would require. compromise on both sides. let's go back to one of our top stories where in the last hour the u.s. president donald trump has responded to allegations from top democrats that his tweets have intimidated witnesses in the impeachment inquiry mike hanna joining us from just outside the white house what does the president have to say mike. well the president spent about 17 minutes of a photo opportunity with the finnish president ranting about the ongoing persecution as he puts it up himself saying that the letter that you know the

conversation he had with the ukrainian president which has been the center of mass of controversy and indeed impeachment proceedings was as he once again put to perfect president trump very feisty in angry at some points insisting that he had done nothing wrong insisting that the chair of the house intelligence committee adam schiff had to lie about the contents of that particular letter when he read it out to congress so certainly president trump absolutely infuriated about the ongoing pressure to bear against him and his administration as the house continues its impeachment process and how worried is the white house my plans for the house committee to issue a subpoena for documents related to ukraine as part of this impeachment inquiry. well the white house is attempting to block those attempts it would appear the

congressional committees are insisting that this is in fact obstructing justice they have threatened that they will issue formal subpoenas by friday should the administration not allow the release of those documents that has been requested by congress as part of its investigation the situation has been complicated as well by the secretary of state might bump aoe confirming on camera that he had been a part of that conversation now congressional committees are insisting that he has he is tainted by the process that he has got to recuse himself from the ongoing investigation handed over to his deputy because he himself might be subject to investigation having been a part of that conversation which is at the center of the congregational investigation so what we're looking at here is the pool blown constitutional crisis between the white house and congress in terms of the fact that the constitution

doesn't make very clear what congress can do if the executive does not agree to come before or to provide evidence or to give statements as requested by congress so it is now a situation that has seldom been seen before a constitutional crisis as i said involving congress involving the white house all resting on this ongoing investigation into the ukrainian conversation but the fact is that may emerge in the days weeks possibly months ahead ok mike hanna thank you . a moment of silence has been held in istanbul on the 1st anniversary of the murder of saudi arabian journalist. family friends and members of the u.n. investigation team or at the ceremony in turkey. was never seen again after going into the saudi consulate to collect documents to get married his fiance spoke of her pain over the past year after wards here in my life

i stand here broken but brought brought to see you all here and all i still see just is i want to know what happened so he's got the i want his friend to be released from jail i want those in power i hold accountable for de actions andrew simmons has more from istanbul. it's been a solemn day marked with a minute's silence by a gathering just outside the consulate 114 percent of the moment jamal walked in to the consulate and was never seen again or teach his fiance outside wondering what had happened she addressed the gathering of high profile people and also campaigners and human rights activists she swore that she would continue her campaign to get justice for her fiance she said also that she couldn't find

closure because she hadn't got a body to pray besides it did couldn't really move on a personal basis but there were addresses to the gathering including jeff there's also a really rare address from this man who's the owner of the washington post and the chief executive of amazon he said his heart was with a junkies and also. a special report for the united nations who's pushing so hard to try to get an international trial organized but having no progress on the political front she said she would carry on regardless pushing forward with an attempt to get justice but the inquiry in turkey is complete the saudi secret court trial is inconclusive at this moment and not transparent so the hope to see

some justice will the odds really stand against it but a massive message was put out from this gathering and not only that a very different scene here because a stone stands in front of this concert to mark what happened here. where u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi has accused the white house of continuing business as usual with the saudi leadership. we also hear today on the one year anniversary. of the case shogi since because shogi was killed it is such a very sad thing and at the same time you see the administration smooching with the very people who perhaps orchestrated it that people in hong kong are denouncing the shooting of a teenage protester by police during violent demonstrations on tuesday this was the scene at a playground and swung one a short while ago thousands of people have rallied in multiple locations throughout

the day the 18 year old boy is said to be in a stable condition in hospital after being hit in the chest a close range police say it was an act of self-defense and as adrian brown reports the increasing violence has divided opinion in the semi autonomous city. the violence was intense and lasted until early wednesday morning affecting areas across hong kong leaving some neighborhoods eerily quiet but few cities in the world clean up as quickly as hong kong in the street would have been a battleground until just a few hours earlier they will wipe away graffiti before getting back to work. food vendor supports the protest movement but worries about the escalating violence buying and he said may i blame not only the protesters but also the police for affecting our livelihoods others like this rubbish collector say the protesters are pushing hong kong to the brink. the ordinary people are being victimized the most

we will end up losing our jobs the young protesters are having fun with it we are suffering the police say more than $100.00 people were injured in the latest clashes among them an 18 year old student who was shot in the chest with a live bullet he's in a stable condition outside his school students staged a peaceful protest on wednesday shocked by what happened he simply he's behind me. police. i don't know why he was nice things i don't know why the situation hong kong police say the shooting of a teenager was legal and reasonable because the officer concerned was acting in self-defense i got i don't know if our body at all you see so you can see that at the time his life was hanging on a thin line and then there was no other choice to use other types of force or other types of weapons yeah to use the quickest way to remove the threat to his life and the lives of his other colleagues to get something away since the protest began

almost 4 months ago more than 1500 people have been arrested straining hong kong's legal system almost 100 appeared in court on wednesday the head of hong kong police are said to choose day was the most chaotic and violent day in recent hong kong history his words raise a serious question mark as to whether local elections due to be held in just a few weeks time will in fact go ahead after all mainland visitors are still coming here mused by the posters insulting their leaders and political system impressions they'll take home with them adrian brown al-jazeera hong kong. the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has pretrial corruption hearings have begun that's and now he's facing bribery fraud and breach of trust charges and 3 cases and indictments will make it harder for him to negotiate a power sharing deal after last month's inconclusive election harry fawcett reports

from western. one main theme emerges from the challenges facing benjamin netanyahu both in their content and in his response the israeli prime minister's concern for what his critics call his obsession with his media coverage usually after a 3 year flood of systematic and partial leaks that is about time that the public hears everything also my side in a complete whole manner without mediators without things the ship and distortion that was his reasoning he said for requesting that his pretty indictment hearings in front of israel's attorney general should be televised have a high mandelbrot rejected that his office suggesting netanyahu is lawyers concentrate on their case not public opinion he is recommending charges against netanyahu in 3 separate cases each with its own code number in case $1000.00 now then you know who it is why sarah or ledge who received in some cases requested gifts from billionaire associates totaling more than $200000.00 case 2000 refers to

what the attorney general calls an offer of a bribe by the israeli media magnate on moses that he knew i was accused of discussing a plan to disrupt a competitor to moses daily newspaper if moses is reporters covered netanyahu more favorably charges under consideration in both cases fraud and breach of trust but it's in case for fouls and where the greatest paralyze for netanyahu he faces possible charges of bribery a much more serious crime than you know who is alleged to have used his then power as communications minister as well as prime minister to change regulations favoring the owner of israel's main telecom company the alleged payoff not just positive coverage on the new site but what the a.g. calls. extraordinary intense relationship with the prime minister and his wife dictating details of content and presentation and the prosecution has a valuable asset in the shape of fielder a long time close confidante of the netanyahu family who turned state's witness last year it's going to be very very difficult to attack that witness some of

felber who was so close to it and you know pointing the finger at him and again that is what distinguishes case 4000 from the other cases the other cases there isn't necessarily insider netanyahu person who's pointing the finger. one option for self-preservation has eluded netanyahu last month stalemate election preventing any new legislation that could have granted him immunity his main rival benny gantz maintains that he won't share the premiership in a unity government with someone facing indictment with those talks failing netanyahu is likely to return the mandate he received from the president just last week to try to form a government he knows time is against him if he's indicted but tries to stay in office he'd be likely to face a supreme court judgement on whether that would even be legal as well as increasing political pressure to step aside for sit al-jazeera west jerusalem fear of fires are being reported in the amazon rain forest in brazil recent data shows a 35 percent fall compared to july and august as well as president j.

a blatant effort to intimidate witnesses in the ongoing impeachment inquiry so we will do everything in our power to make sure that that whistleblowers protected that that was a blowers. preferences in terms of their anonymity are respected. and let's let's not make any mistake here the president wants to make this all about the whistleblower and suggest people that come forward with evidence of his wrongdoing or somehow treasonous and should be treated as traitors and spies. this is a blatant effort to intimidate witnesses he was democratic presidential candidate bernie sanders is in hospital his campaign team says the senator experienced chest pains at a campaign event doctors found a blocked artery and have successfully inserted 2 tiny tubes known as stents all those events have been canceled until further notice. break up in

news hour i'll see you then bye bye. the rankings march to demand jobs and improve services in the largest demonstration yet against prime minister abdullah abdullah mocking their pm it's a repeat of previous protests so iraq's leaders miss main and why isn't the government able to deliver this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program fully back to bowl iraq's barely year old

government is being forced to deal with a not just nationwide protest since taking over the. riot police contain demonstrators in baghdad on wednesday 24 hours after a bonus and tear gas was fired at least 3 people died and hundreds of others were injured in baghdad as well as other cities high levels of corruption and unemployment are 2 main reasons for the anger and there's unrest over the recent dismissal of an army commander credited with defeating i so in mosul 2 years ago imran khan has more from baghdad. the protesters the bones of very simple they calling for the government to create more jobs more opportunities particularly for the poor in society also say that the government has failed to tackle corruption which is led to a lack of development will surprise the government is how quickly these protests spread not just here in baghdad but in nasiriya i mean not just as well and that's

taken the government by surprise they're actually a forming a government task force to look into how this took about now the events will choose they took place very early in the day in the afternoon when those a very small protest that was quickly dispersed by the security forces then there was a call on social media and then there was a much larger processed on. tuesday night and that's really when those big clashes happened between the protesters and the security forces they tried to come across the bridge from tucker a square a square is just about half a kilometer that way and it looks like the protest movement is developing now that's going to be a concern for the government the big fear is is this if they protest movement becomes a nationwide movement and that will really concern the government not just for security reasons but for political reasons as well a lot of these people are young they've never voted before and certainly they'll be

looking to their political leaders to try and give them something to give them some hope for the future they say that they have no hope for the future and that's why they're out in the streets. well let's take a closer look at why iraqis are angry youth unemployment stands at 25 percent many protesters are university graduates who can't find a job and they blame corruption and religious favoritism for many of iraq's problems transparency international ranks in iraq as the 12th most corrupt country in the world and since 2004 almost $450000000000.00 of public funds have disappeared according to official faith is another persistent complaint is the poor quality of public services shortages of electricity and water and failing is for a structure continued to plague the community. helping us no one is supporting us we're giving our blood and we giving her a youth is gone we have no results we want to internationalize ok's because there

are no results were poor have nothing but our voice in ourselves well they have the weapons and the money to look now no way i am an our problem is with the parliament it is them who distribute the hall among the thieves we do not want to parliamentary system we want to republican presidential system to lead us that under the day the iraqi people have lived 16 years under a parliamentary system that does not work all we have seen of it are wars blood fighting and looting the corrupt are passing their position to one another. let's introduce our panel now in baghdad. he is a political analyst and specialist on the modern history of iraq by skype in athens is judy it's nearing a political analyst on iraqi affairs who's watching the protests very closely and in ankara youssef. a middle east analyst thank you all for being on inside story thank you for joining us ali al nationally in baghdad the problems facing iraqis

have existed for years what exactly spock's this week's demonstrations no that is. things happened in this week and. a rising north of that there's some agenda behind that but i thinks things have an especially when do you believe the general sidey and that shift their position from the high command. in iraq achieve and shifted to the another position that the things makes many many talks of the streets of iraq an order that i think many people of the streets shouting and begin to talking and this is a conspiracy against the iraqi people or are they going to see something and to and to use the things for the end of the agenda that order that i think what's happening yesterday it's coming. because. increasingly the suffering

people. you see a sort of a yes indeed many demonstrators let me just explain to our audience said that many demonstrators indeed have been holding posters of iraq's counterterrorism chief. saadi who's recent dismissal set off controversy with some people blaming it on iranian backed iraqi politicians so would you say there's a direct link between his dismissal and the demonstrations that we've seen in baghdad and elsewhere. this is one because i'm a thinks of the big no the people and the protesters young's now they are rising many slogans many demanding every every day all the trees they are rising in value and today they did the jobs they they want to fight corruption the corrupted people they want to explicitly they want many things but i think. the problem of outside

the ship the moving the. moving the place or moving the problem ok order that i think many many many many many people used and they talking about conspiracy from the sort of edge and judith in athens i know you've been following the situation very closely those who've taken to the streets have denounced the house of problems that plagued their daily life including of course corruption unemployment and a lack of services not surprisingly for iraq there is no political faction between these damn behind these demonstrations there was no political faction that explicitly called 42 states protests how significant is that in your view and are these demonstrations spontaneous. yes it's the fact that normally when there's demonstrations and you're not serious political power behind

it and especially a lot of our southern last years and he's in iran mom he's very light months. i think there is a connection to the fact that there is so much land and news the games the jesters and the fact that he's involved this time before all the demonstrations that he organized have been sort of peaceful even when the demonstrators broke into the endzone a couple of years ago the police hardly did anything about it and now there is the army on the streets against these young people meeting in the and they are really shoot in. bullets and ok to shoot in the air the bullets from down signal if we don't really have heard at least 200. and something like 3 people who were killed a druze in the summer of 2018 there were similar nationwide protests in basra more

precisely has the situation not improved at all for iraqis since then i mean has have things got a more sway back east. the main problem in basra. has become a need for peace. but the main problem really is corruption and that's what most of these functions to get and the corruption has not to go because it's in in the system. for this equalities and militia are very much part of the garage and if you want to get a job in the governments and the it is there are thousands of people who are ready and waiting and waiting for a job in the government. the private sector is a small if you are working for a job like that you will have to say i spoke to some of the tell me that she had already been through our jobs that she saw him start after the holidays. and that

was $10000.00 now for anything any college studies is is being met the culture that people make with the have some kind of child party does. everything a little so by them by state and it's not just the system is in place nothing will change highly on nash me your thoughts on this issue of corruption transparency international has rung p.-roc as the 12th most corrupt country in the world your in baghdad tell us how this corruption manifests itself in everyday life for iraqis. no the iraqi people know they talking every day every minute about the corrupted people who are ruling they and i can now and they know and they all the iraqi people confidence the who all the

politicians or all the m.p.'s and all the government as they say they are corrupted people not of that they approve that because they say we spend. $3000000.00 in. 20 years. 11 years but nothing on the ground not to proceed to the know what terms no medicines no health every think it's very worst very bad and go on to worse another that i think is the business of the boast a problem now in iraq is the corrupted because now the new generation is coming the generations they don't they don't fall into anything on the ground no job no the wheel of the economic as a stop no trades not likely culture no industry nothing out of the state talking about to leave all the rulers that will leave all the government because they don't see anything about them then i think this is what's behind what what's happening

and what the broadest sense is needed the 1st. things they want a government to fight that corrupted the corruption situation but they think and one of them they they do use the corrupt people because now the iraqi government does sign many agreement with many many companies but with all that's money goes to the pockets of the corrupt people. let me bring into the conversation now what are your thoughts on what's happening right now in iraq it's significant isn't it to see these protests in baghdad because many had viewed the iraqi capital as being in a state of recovery since the fall and i still. yeah in terms of security it's 1st true about in terms of economy and the social life v our family are such kind of process inside iraq since from 20131415 especially in the southern

provinces of iraq so when you take a look at what's going on inside iraq 'd again although they're recovering from the dash militants and occupation in many parts of iraq they issue is that people are protesting the economy cool positions and unemployment rate and public health care lots of issues so when you take a look at the structure of such kind of issues anywhere inside the world this is very normal that the people may protest because of those situations but i think that since iraq is a very costly a failed state i can say this is very dangerous because it may be among the plaited by any other countries especially around the vicinity offer more speaking of that other countries during the protests in 2018 in basra there was a lot of anger towards iranian backed iraqi politicians do you sense is

different this time around that the anger is not as my sarette did towards the external forces but rather then rather iraqi politicians. yeah as far as the telephone calls which i make that my friends inside iraq i can say that this is a little bit different they have no anger and head for the sectarian issues but what i can say that it can be among the plaited to any kind of threat to any kind of protests inside the iraq so the protests which took place in 2018 is a little bit different value compared it in protests in 2000 lighted so there is no unified leadership who is guiding these protests they are gathering beat each other by using a special of the social media but i can say that the social background in terms of economy is social good southgate is very fertile for such kind of protests inside

iraq because this is a war torn country and very close to a failed states and there are rivalries emong united states iran and turkey for this reason it is very for a child to stray should inside iraq i can say ok let me bring our judith back in and it is to get your thoughts on what changes the protesters are seeking i know you've been speaking to a lot of people on the ground in iraq the people who've been demonstrating they're rallying cry has been we want change what sort of change are they precisely looking for. i think the excess idea of what change they want is it's very difficult for them to see what they want to see that is the corruption another the government does not address. the problem is of course how do you do that in a situation in those rooms in cities. where everything is divided according to

religion and ethnicity. so that young people i also see 2 groups which are very clear on the one hand the graduates have not been able to get a job although everybody who studies in expects a job with the government works and then you have those people who came back from the war with us is still spoiling the years that followed the fatwa on the streets and these. they were few of them are still without income. in a bad situation the government has yesterday said that they will speed up. to let them enter into the security forces. but still it's not happening at the moment so and these people are trained. they know how to use weapons so this is really the most dangerous group that there is amongst these there is something to do you know

highly on mash me the government of prime minister monti came to power just a year ago. there are those who will say that a year isn't good enough time to achieve change in iraq to bring about change why do you think the government hasn't been able to deliver. no thing i think it's one year it's enough to do something but. in the eye of the iraqi people he did nothing he signed many agreements with. with many countries and with the only company it's let arguments not on the side of iraqi people and. give the could in the north everything and he had to tend to lot of them many many position it was in the end the follow the center of baghdad after the election of.

named in 270 then the iraqi people see the matter he did nothing and i've denied he's he's held that corrupted people and he didn't to bring anyone for his government and the majority of his government was that people say they are not they're not there or not they have the ability to do something then and then the iraqi come to the street now to do want for change but you see that that's the order that protests that they don't have one slogan that's mean they don't have one leader and one direction and want to get this they are coming on the street looking for everything because the early own stages they look and they're coming from the. day that not follow the religious. politic but about it then i think it's very difficult to control all of them but if the now if the

petition of the. ts of that was specially their original parties if they interfere now in that brought to the strike that protestants and they will use and there will carry that way for brute force there birgitta the villages and i think in this night there is many meetings. well how did between the government of the matter and many politicians to give them some bit of villages and they will control go astray in that to stop that. protesting this is the way but i think this approach this thing now is the most serious and the protesting before because all the protesters before they are coming from the their leaders are actually of somebody in the coming yeah let me ask you something anchor about that the fact that these protests are so far less how big of a challenge the as opposed to the government of prime minister added monti and d.c.

this government being able to control the situation. i can say that in the short term discount bill not be able to control the economy kopel zeeshan of the iraq and their. economical striations and unemployment rate but what i will say changing government governments be not help also. to fight against corruption to fight against economical problems to fight against terrorism and to fight against all kind of security threats to you know why because if you do not change the circumstances and if you do not change the parameters which is coming imports from the outside or inside the system you can get the same results if you change the government saw in order to get different results the iraqi people should come together and change the incomes but van there is a big rivalries especially in between qatar and united states i believe that it

won't be any change even if they change the government and in the short term i can summon my speech that mr prime minister not be able to change the stray ssion in the short or regardless of the politics uses do you think it's really possible for iraqi succumb together and 191 when you take into account the religious and sectarian divide. unfortunately you are very true it is impossible that the iraqi may come together because of the sectarian and also ethnical division when you take a look at the the country in the mid i can say that there are 3 parts of iraq which will be governed from the shiites the sunni it's on the kurdish at the northern part of the iraq so it seems that in the middle there is no unity off iraq although ordering the elections all the political leaders have promised to the

iraqi people for the unit to offer rock but i can't say on the ground it is impossible for now ok judith your thoughts on that is it possible that these protesters that we're seeing on the streets and all iraqi sent can come together as one and do you agree with the use of a non-career who says that changing the government changing government will not resolve the situation i agree changing the government will not change much and he has just tell me. though that he is in there for just really here. although this for many years ago if not the problem is that in the ministries there are people of the perky. people actually there are many people who are still and the corruption is really a thing that has to be done before anything will change and i'm happy. in baghdad i'll give you the last word you know you being in baghdad how do you see

this situation evolving do you think these protests could lead to a new round of instability in iraq and how do you stop that from happening you think. no i think they will want to know just the 3 days especially in the day but i think some. some agreement will have been too many bullets will controlling and i think brian going to start up in my view will say some decisions and decision will literally in next weeks and i think nothing will have been targets. we will see how the situation evolves of course in the coming days and bring you all the latest here on al-jazeera. do it it's knowing and. thank you very much for taking part in our discussion today and thank you as well for watching you can always watch this program again any time by visiting our website at al-jazeera

committee spoke to reporters and defended their impeachment inquiry against the u.s. president's. we will do everything in our power to make sure that that was supposed protected that that was a blowers. preferences in terms of their anonymity are respected. and let's let's not make any mistake here the president wants to make this all about the whistleblower and suggest people that come forward with evidence of his wrongdoing or somehow treasonous and should be treated as traitors and spies this is a blatant effort to intimidate witnesses well president trump has since responded to those accusations once again calling schiff atrocitus he was speaking to reporters in the oval office at the start of a meeting with finland's president well the whistleblower's very inaccurate the whistle blows started this whole thing by writing a report on the conversation i had with the president of ukraine and the

conversation was perfect it couldn't have been nicer i saw rick scott i saw many of the senators talking about it many of the congressmen talking about it not a thing wrong or less you heard the adam schiff version where he made up my conversation he actually made it up it should be criminal it should be treasonous he made it up every word of it made up and read to congress as though i said it and i'll tell you what he should be forced to resign from congress adam schiff he's a low life ok mike hanna standing by for us at the white house will be speaking to him in just a few minutes but 1st over to see in washington d.c. in our studio there and just to take a step back because a lot has been said a back and forth over the past 2 hours or so shihab so what did we hear exactly from adam schiff announcing pelosi during their press conference. i think what was so interesting about that press conference was we got insight into the strategy of the house democrats moving forward their argument appears to be look we have now

for information from the state department from rudy giuliani the president's personal lawyer and from the white house we understand that the house committees will be subpoenaing for those documents those documents documents rather on friday will be on friday if they haven't received documents which they've asked to be voluntarily handed over all regarding this conversation and the interactions between president trump and the ukrainian ukrainian president but what they're saying is don't think that you couldn't hold all of this out for now you can jam it up i may be going to the courts to try and prevent us from getting hold of this information or preventing people from even testifying because we don't we're going to play that game we're not going to go to the courts if you prevent us from getting the information instead of going to the courts we're simply going to roll that lack of cooperation into any potential article of impeachment of the house we'll have to eventually vote upon so it doesn't matter what the courts say we'll

just take this is obstruction of our business congressional business which is a crime and we'll just stick that into the beach went to you're not cooperating with congress and secondly we will have a presumption of guilt we will infer from you not cooperating with us that the reason you're not handing over these documents is because what the whistleblower initially showed which is that donald trump was improperly using the office of the presidency to try and undermine the 2020 elections was true so it's a dangerous game you play if you don't cooperate with us and don't think you can get out of this by just holding everything up in the courts ok as he had thank you for that update so let's now find out reaction from the white house and bring in mike clearly if you look at president tweets he he is not happy with what's going on in the way that the democrats are tightening the noose on. well he's not happy at 00 it's not just his tweets it's also the statement that he recently made in the white house during

a photo opportunity with the finnish president president trump absolutely furious at this ongoing impeachment investigation once again he used the word perfect in relation to that conversation about the u. craney had with that country's president once again an attack on at i'm sure the chair of the congress as intelligence committee the house intelligence committee was basically the face of the impeachment process arguing that ship should be convicted of treason because he says he read out that letter the statement of the conversation with the ukrainian president regardless of the fact that the white house actually released a version of that particular conversation so president clearly intent on fighting back regardless of the cost he has clearly instructed his administration as well to hold back as far as possible any cooperation with those come ducting the impeachment process and this is building up to

a major clash between branches of government here a major clash between the executive and congress which is insisting that the executive provide information particularly about that phone call with the ukrainian president all right mike hanna thank you. well a potential rival to donald trump is in hospital bernie sanders campaign team says the democratic senator was at a campaign event 20 experience chest pains doctors found a blocked artery and have successfully inserted 2 tiny tubes known as stents sanders is awake and talking about campaign events have been canceled until further notice. police in iraq have opened fire on large crowds of demonstrators in the capital city of baghdad it's a 2nd day of anti-government protests in several cities across the country so far 4 people have died in one khan has more from baghdad and. gunfire in central

baghdad as iraqi security forces confront protesters for a 2nd day. throughout wednesday iraqi security forces placed a ring of around to korea square the focal point of the protests. but they weren't deterred by the show of force they came in large numbers and full running battles in nearby streets and in other neighborhoods their message to government leaders is simple the phenomenon of our demands we won't work we won't work if they do not want to treat us as iraqis then tell us we're not iraqi and we'll find other nationalities and migrate to other countries that nobody thought we had demanding the change we want the downfall of the whole government that message of bringing down the government will concern prime minister other loved his office says he will meet the protesters as well as set up a commission to investigate events including the deaths of demonstrators quite who the prime minister will meet is unclear analysts suggest this is not a newsman that seems to be led by any political party or religious movement but is

born of frustration you know there is no one soon coming behind that's of autistic value because you so that you see that from the. still come to their eyes if you think going to snow again this no guy no religion it's the government has cut off internet services nationwide a sign of how seriously the leadership sees the power of social media used by the protesters and it's not just the capital baghdad we're hearing that protests have been taking place and at least 5 other cities and that's going to be concerning to the government now what sources close to the iraqi government have to hold out as they are is that they're very worried about opposition political parties and religious power. he's joining the protesters because that could swell numbers and make this a major nationwide movement right now seemingly this protest movement is actually leaderless what most analysts are suggesting that it may will become bigger and bigger in the coming days but quite how effective it will be remains to be seen. as

there are. plenty more ahead on the al-jazeera news hour including a solemn memorial to mark a year since journalist she was murdered inside the saudi consulate in istanbul lots. i want to be released from jail i want those. held accountable for days action. a day after a student was shot by hong kong police anti beijing protests showed no sign of letting up. for the all blacks run riot against canada at the world cup peter has the action a little later. but 1st the u.k. prime minister has delivered what he says is his final breaths that offer to the european union for more on this let's cross to lauren taylor in our european center

. thanks daryn yes boris johnson revealed his proposal at the conservative party conference saying it would require compromise from both sides he wants to replace the irish backstop with the creation of an all island regulars rezone this is the government confirmed that it plans to suspend parliament on tuesday until october the 14th largely has more from manchester. so this is it to get bricks it done this conference has repeated relentlessly boris johnson's team has come up with a mind bogglingly complicated arrangements to solve the puzzle of the irish border junction of course it is best to make it sound entirely fair and generous and today in brussels we are taping what i believe are constructive and reasonable proposals which provide a compromise for both sides but he was clear about his motivation we will allow the u.k. whole and entire to withdraw from the e.u.

with control over our own trade policy from the start. johnson's problem remains that he wants to cut the u.k. off from the e.u. at its border with ireland for reasons of trade but he wants to keep the border open for reasons of politics his solution is to try to have a bit of both creating 2 borders one inside islands and one between it's and the u.k. mainland the hard border in ireland would break the law yet johnson said it was the u.k.'s best last and final offer the alternative is no deal and that is not dot com we want it is not an outcome we seek a tall but let me tell you my friends it is not come for which we are ready are we ready for it. yes we are. the conservative faithful seem to love it but has an idea it is so convoluted and unacceptable to ireland and by extension the.
