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 create seems to 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 you ready for it. yes we are. the conservative faithful seem to love it spread has an idea it is so convoluted and unacceptable to ireland and by extension the e.u.

that there was an immediate assumption it had been designed to fail clearing the way for the u.k. to leave the e.u. with no deal. so it all feels like what you might call a long shot but don't underestimate just how much some european countries want to get rid of what they see as the british problem and as well is that the johnson plan involves kicking parts of the irish border issue for years down the road who knows what the world's going to be like johnson now has to see if the u.k. parliament has any more appetite for all this in the e.u. if it all gets rolled out he will say he's tried and everyone else is to blame the question by then will be if he's still in control of events largely al-jazeera manchester. well president of the european commission says johnston's offer has some problematic points for more reaction from iraq let's cross live to natasha butler who's in paris so not overwhelmingly positive reaction so far as i can see.

no the message from the east side of things seems to be that we're listening to the u.k. but we are not entirely convinced of the european commission head john cloud younker had a telephone conversation with boris johnson in which the u.k. prime minister laid out his vision for a brakes a plan and also detailed what he saw as alternatives to the irish backstop the part of the withdrawal agreement that the e.u. has so far supported very badly but the johnson wants to scrap well in a statement released by the commission after this telephone call said that of course he welcomed johnson's determination to make progress towards a deal but it's very clear that he still has very a lot of questions over exactly what johnson's proposals are and mainly yorker has underlined that it's very important for the european union that whatever happens in terms of the irish bank stop that the e.u. is the integrity of the e.u. single market is maintained and also that there can be no return to hard border

between northern ireland part of the u.k. and ireland which is part of the e.u. and that sort of sentiment this sense of just really not being totally convinced was echoed also by the main bags a negotiator michel barnier. very progress. but to be frank are the love of work do need to be joined to reach into. the $34.00 group of people the buck stop no border or arnold economy and protecting the sugar market protecting the consumer of the citizens of the british is in charge of sugar market differently sharon remember states the new deal will never be detroit never. well after this after that by the you just heard there by michel barnier he actually went into a meeting with the e.u. officials and over the next few days we are told e.u. officials and u.k.

fissions will be talking and discussing these proposals to see whether or not there is an opportunity to return to some sort of negotiating table the thing is time is running out because on october 17th there's an e.u. summit and anything that needs to be decided any plan any deal would have to be made well in advance of that because that would be the moment at which it would be signed and then of course you've got october 31st that deadline when boris johnson says the u.k. will leave the deal or no deal so there's a lot of pressure but i have to say from the e.u. side of things probably a lot less hope than boris johnson would like to say there is natasha which countries do you think are the ones that are pushing to try and accelerate a deal in this stage and are which are the ones that are sort of more locked into to try and push anything through and help the british out.

well i think in terms of the you you heard michel barnier there as well i think their position has always been very clear and that is that they favor a deal they do not want to see a no deal break e.u. leaders of repeatedly said that a no deal breaks it isn't no countries interest is going to be very costly and highly disruptive it's just not worth it they want to see a deal but at the same time as far as the u.s. concerned of course there is a deal they have agreed upon a deal with tourism a boris johnson's prita sesar and the e.u. says for our part of it our work is done they see the problem in the responsibility as being with the u.k. parliament unable to agree on passing the brakes a deal with boris johnson for them the ball is in the u.k. scored it isn't in the u.s. court that said we have heard from younker repeatedly over the past few weeks of the e.u. does remain very open to talks and this is why again officials will look at these proposals by boris johnson they will pour over them and we'll have to see exactly

what they come up with in the next few days but as i said of course the pressure result because time is running out at about the thank you very much indeed thousands of french police are rallied in paris to protest against poor working conditions and hostility towards offices is the 1st time the police have gone on strike since 2001 they say there's no marar over growing anti-police sentiment to the yellow vest protests along with a wave of recent serious proposed government reforms president emanuel macoris preparing to overhaul the pension scheme which police say they will lose out from. as everyone else in london back now to doing in doha lauren thank you well a moment of silence has been held in istanbul on the 1st anniversary of the murder of so many journalists. family friends and members of the united nations investigation team were 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 years in my life i stand here broken but broke proud to see you all here and you all i still seek justice i want to know what's happened so he's got the i want his friends to be released from jail i want those in power hold accountable for de actions andrew symonds has more from istanbul. it's been a solemn day marked with a minute's silence by a gathering just outside the consulate at 114 percent the moment the jamal walked in to the consulate and was never seen again to 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 in from this man who is the owner of the washington post and the chief executive of amazon he said his heart was with agendas and also. the 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 over 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. more on the murder and the way the world learned that. it started as a case of a missing person but within days it was obvious. turkish investigators that they were dealing with a murder forensic teams were sent to search every part of the consulates because this was a murder the likes of which the world had never heard of before a journalist lured into his country's diplomatic mission a kill squad headed by a member of saudi crown prince mohammed bin some months and to raj also among them

a specialist dr armed with a bone saw and the cover up later described by the u.s. president as the worst in history. through your recordings they are pertained from inside the consulate turkish authorities quickly established what's what happened but they chose not to immediately make it all public what followed was a drip feed of detail to check if media it was the bad news paper and its website that took the lead among starkers media outlets and publishing leaks and details of what happened inside the consulate on that fateful day drip drip of information proved extremely damaging for a saudi regime that had spent millions on polishing its image to the world. works for investigative unit and has written a book about the murder he believes the manner in which information was released proved critical of stone then little or the saudi government 1st made claims about fate but quickly had to change their story after our reporting mohammed bin salman

has wasted billions of dollars of saudi money portraying himself as a reformer because it's now possible that he gave the order to kill which is deeply troubling after a number of weeks of changing their narrative and a constant stream of new information saudi arabia finally admitted that specialty had indeed been murdered inside its consulate but the blame was placed on what saudi officials described as rogue elements the crown prince has denied this a compass is not aware of this a year run and it seems that the saudi government is adopting a different media strategy with crown prince mohammed bin son mantra's ing to speak on u.s. television in an apparent bid to take charge of the media narrative that 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 if jamal khashoggi was killed because of his journalism it shows how threatened the saudi regime is by an independent press which could

explain why the trials of those charged over his murder are taking place in secrets . istanbul. 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 show he took since because shogi a was killed it is such a very sad thing and at the same time you see the administration schmoozing with the very people who perhaps orchestrated that and you can watch our special film on these murders in the events that followed on thursday at 20100 hours g.m.t. it's called. murder in a saudi consulates. well it's another busy night ahead at the world championships let's get an update from peter stennett at the honey for international stadium. well the reason we are getting close to finals time on day

phineas people they do appreciate that thank you. ladies and gentlemen before meeting. some spare time so our visit to a couple of museums here. and then we can history this is. american. african history museum of american indian history and you know i use and to that i had a possibility of attending ceremony in arlington mr president you here create democracy. keep it going on. we were we had a very crude discussion with the president. like you mentioned our diplomatic relations our 100 years. during that time. we have developed our

cooperation remote note of peaceful meetings these. american and chinese people. for example meet each other cooperate. together. quite a lot of cooperation in security section sector or socially defense. because i think that we should look at that so what you're looking at right now is the u.s. president donalds from standing alongside the president to all finland and they are obviously giving a press conference talking about. the longstanding ties between the countries so far this of course coming as president trump is facing increasing pressure from that impeachment inquiry that has now been launched by the democrats so we're going to move away from this press conference for just a moment and talk about the impeachment inquiry with our next guest is john herbst

he is the eurasia center director at atlantic council he's joining us from washington d.c. thanks for being with us on the al-jazeera news hour just looking at the the day's events and specifically the past couple of hours and the growing pressure that president appears to be facing from the democrats just just give me your thoughts on on what's transpired and how you expect this to play out well it's hard to predict how it will play out what we know was legitimate concerns have been raised regarding president from phone call with president alinsky and the withholding of military assistance. all it's true that there's really no basis for an investigation into joe biden. he was part of an international effort to remove a corrupt prosecutor general in ukraine and that had nothing to do with his son's

commercial activities and unfasten prosecutor was not investigating it on the issue of the call here invention on the issue of the phone call that you mentioned with the president of ukraine now we've learnt as well that the secretary of state might come pale was not only on that call but apparently is also trying to prevent people from the state department from testifying how significant is all of this. well i think for bush pompei o the role of revelation he was on the call is embarrassing because he had suggested that he had not been part of that regarding the testimony of state officials my understanding is that they are now going to be testifying. so if pompei were objected would ever those objections were have been overcome and now we also know that a house committee is planning to wish you a subpoena to the white house for documents related to ukraine and this impeachment inquiry by friday how worried does this make the trumpet minister

a senate. well it's clear the president does not like these investigations and now the dish of an impeachment inquiry. but it's also true that again the appearance of using this military assistance as a lever has prompted the inquiry. that 3 was probably something that should've been avoided here's the thing the democrats are being very clear on their strategy and we heard adam schiff a couple of hours ago saying that we're proceeding deliberately and we feel a sense of urgency that's the democrats' point of view and that's a democrat side but what are the republicans willing to do here i mean do you see any evidence at all that senators are willing to cross party lines or than to the republicans still stand steadfast behind it was a. will 1st are really an expert on foreign policy in the american impeachment process but just watching what we what i see in the media and what the republicans

are saying. think it's premature to talk about this 1st 1st you have to have all this increase go forward and evidence or facts will merge and that people will make up their minds and it's really very very early in the process and when you when presidents from says. he likens all of this to a coup what is your reaction to that just as you well again you know the democrats have been talking about impeachment since before he was sworn in as president so i can understand why there is some concern on his part at the same time if there are issues that require public. investigation investigators or by the house well that this will happen and is that seems to be what's going on right now are i to leave it there we thank you very much for speaking to us from washington this thank you. 2 so what you're looking at this is the press

conference that's going on right now from the white house between the president of france found the iranian president off in lens let's bring in mike means joining us from the white house so. you know mike i suppose you know we might expect trying to say something about the impeachment inquiry at the end of this press conference we'll have to wait and see but he certainly has been speaking out earlier today. as well at this stage this particular news conference a lot more sedate and then the original photo opportunity where you sat down with the finished president and basically spent some 17 minutes ranting on a number of issues not release the ongoing impeachment investigation by congress so certainly president trump made very clear is absolute fury at the fact that this investigation was ongoing he continued to single out the house intelligence committee chair adam schiff whose or essentially the face of the impeachment

investigation could well the finished president was sitting there president trust continued to express his anger about with various forms this is for many many irish mike stand by for. us an answer to our great vice president hard to believe nobody believes that but that's true. for one. but i have been introduced as this fathers brothers cousins uncle we are friends. good afternoon the when i arrived in helsinki about a year and a half ago there was a stack of papers on the desk one of a couple of which concerned. indigenous peoples from the so question 9 states arizona colorado including probably most predominantly but generically i were for to them and hopi indians they were one of the group. in 1905. a lot of their remains had been excavated and removed long went at 500 artifacts to

finland and there they remained despite a lot of activity to get them back and just jump to the end and say to the good offices of our state department head of detector. president an initiative to end and his entire team. we have secured mutual agreement whereby all of all of those remains including a number of. petrified bodies. will be going back to him to be put back with where they were buried so. special to us and i think it probably special to indigenous peoples everywhere around the globe that we're all concerned about paying appropriate respect to those who of departed before us so thank you thank both of the presidents for supporting this visit.

thank you that's a great job mr mayor that's been going on for many many decades so i just want to thank you for sending. john roberts. mr president thank you president engine if i could serve to prevent questions to ask you maybe you could ask them separately to get a fresh answer to each one on the 3 house intelligence 3 house committees that are looking into the great gave notice today that it will be sending a subpoena to the white house for documents and other materials will you cooperate with those subpoenas well i always cooperate this is a hoax this is the greatest hoax this is just a continuation of what's been playing out john for the last since my election i would say if you want and probably will find out soon but probably even before my election this is a fraudulent crime on the american people

a but we'll work together we shift the shift and palosi it all of them and we'll see what happens because we did absolutely had a great call with the president of ukraine it was 100 percent you have the transcript and then schiff went up and he got as the chairman of the committee got up and related a call that didn't take place he made up the language ipod to believe nobody's ever say this i think he had some kind of a mental breakdown but he went up to the microphone and he read a statement from the president of the united states as if i were on the call because what happened is when he looked at the sheet which was an exact transcript of my call done by very talented people that do this exact word for word he said wow he didn't do anything wrong so he made it up he went up to a microphone and in front of the american people and in congress he went out and he he gave a whole presentation of words that the president of the united states never said it has to be

a criminal act it has to be and he should resign. and some people even say it was treason but it was a very sad thing just so you know the call was perfect the real call the call i made many people are on the line i knew that because usually when i speak to foreign country leaders you can name any one of them but when i speak on the phone i know that we have many people listening from various intelligence agencies my knowledge i know all about it and so this isn't something like oh gee i'm on the line let's talk about a big secret this is many people in the line i don't even know how many will find out i guess but many people might bump a always on the i didn't say anything he just because they listen for both knowledge and for security reasons and for lots of reasons but. the president of ukraine at the united nations the other day and previous to that he announced through his spokesperson said there was absolutely no pressure put on him there was no quid pro quo at all and if you look at this whistle

blower's which i have a lot of respect for whistle blows but only when there are real his report of the phone call was totally different than the fact but what got them was they never thought i was going to release the call because i don't like doing that i don't want to do i hope i don't have to do it again release phone calls to foreign dignitaries to foreign leaders i don't want to do that john i don't want to do it again but i did it with the permission of the ukrainian government we got permission we called up their representatives and asked him would it be ok otherwise i couldn't have done it and of i wouldn't have done it i would have been exposed to a lie because the whistleblower report didn't he say 7 or 8 times i said quid pro quo in other words you're going to do this or you're not going to get money now in all fairness biden said it and he's on tape in all fairness you have at least 4 united states senators to.
