they have lowered several in your sights in this but with such a diverse fields and in them attacking each other are you going to be able to defeat president trump and 2020 well i do agree with you on this point the democrats thus far in the 1st 9 months of their control of the house of representatives have not demonstrated a great strategy or tactics when it comes to going after president trump we'll have to wait and see how this issue plays out but i do worry that the democrats have had so many difficulties when it comes to trying to pin problems on president trump but on top of that issue there is a fueling if i can try to convey it to your audience here in the u.s. that the winds have shifted that you're seeing president trump lash out because this has cut so close and it because it does feel different this time around ok

brett brennan thanks very much indeed great to get your thoughts there thanks for joining us there live from west virginia to be with here. the iraqi prime minister is calling for calm after 3 days of government process and left at least 31 people dead 11 alone were killed on thursday as a day has asked for says says to raise their demands with his office so a resolution can be reached is also crack down on corruption sacking over a 1000 government employees well there's widespread anger against a lack of jobs per public services in iraq imran khan has the latest from baghdad. they defied the curfew imposed by iraq's security forces. and for not following soldiers orders bullets were fired at the. anti government demonstrations in the capital baghdad for the past 3 days have also

ourselves for our country to be sacrificed for iraq our people come out not. yourselves for your children. iraqis are also unhappy with the abrupt dismissal of. the counterterrorism forces and the fight against i so they say the government's reaction to the protests is a dangerous escalation iraq's fragile security relies on managing deep sectarian fault lines as well as a threat from the remnants of isolate ourselves and buck judged at the start of the people are being rolled out the people are begging on the street there is no work you come to protest and they fire at you. iran has close to border crossings delaying plans by millions of iranian programs to visit iraq for a religious ritual iraq's u.s. allies and the united nations are appealing to iraq's government to exercise restraint promised. and his year old government is facing its biggest challenge yet

but it's unclear how he can stop the outpour of anger against his rule with no apparent leaders of the protesters to negotiate with. iran al-jazeera. lots more still to come on this news hour including find out why there's growing concern about a possible transatlantic trade war between the u.s. and europe. and a sport where ireland's got back to its when he wakes up the rocking broke out. 4 people have been killed in a knife attack at the central police headquarters in paris for more we can cross to lauren taylor in our european broadcast center. thanks hello prosecutors say street police officers and one administrator were killed in the lunchtime attack in the french capital several others were wounded when

a police employees stabbed a number of his colleagues before being shot dead it's believed the attacker was a 45 year old i.t. assistant in the police intelligence unit races still investigating a motive for the attack the french president emmanuel mccall and prime minister. of both visited the scene in central paris. you deplore this we mourn the death of 4 people 4 employees of the police directorates safe in intelligence units and safe in the proximity security units 3 men one woman 3 police officers and one administrative agents were killed in the trash a butler has the latest from paris. well speaking after the attack the paris prosecutor gave more details about the attack essentially it was a 45 year old man who'd worked in police administration for 20 years in fact had been based in the paris police headquarters this huge building in the center of paris very close to not trigger the paris prosecutor said that

a criminal investigation is now being opened into the event to find out exactly what the attackers motivations were now in terms of what we know so far it was about 1 o'clock when the attacker lunged at fellow police officers inside the paris headquarters he had a ceramic knife so it was a knife that would not have been detected by the metal detectors we also understand that a police officer that had been nearby witnessing the scene opened fire and killed the attacker or the french president a man or mark rohr as well as the french prime minister and interior minister were at the scene the interior minister gave his condolences to the the victims' families he said that this shows what a difficult job the police have to do and it has to be said this comes just one day after thousands of police officers marched across paris to protest against what they say are increasingly stressful conditions and also against what they say is

increasing police violence but it has to be said that a few of them would have expected an attack to come from within their ranks. france's the european union is looking at imposing retaliatory tariffs as the u.s. plans new duties on a wide range of the box products the world trade organization that gave the go ahead for washington to impose a 7 and a half a $1000000.00 of tariffs on e.u. goods over illegal state subsidies to manufacture air bus the u.s. is planning to tax goods from between 10 to 25 percent including scotch whisky french wine and italian tease a similar case brought by the e.u. against the u.s. of a state subsidies to aircraft manufacturer boeing is due to be moved on in 9 months time. for you because the founder of the open political economy network and a former president of the european commission it says the u.s. had an opportunity to make a settlement instead of escalating the trade dispute what donald trump hasn't

mentioned obviously is that the you also as a case against boeing and the target is expected to rule in favor of the e.u. on that next year and that in turn would allow the e.u. to impose its own tariffs on u.s. products so a sensible way out of this conundrum would be to have a negotiated settlement whereby everyone agrees to stop subsidizing and nobody imposes tariffs instead of the americans are jumping the gun potentially causing the retaliate and potentially getting to a much bigger trade war with donald trump threatening to impose a tariffs on european cars as soon as next month britain's prime minister boris johnson is hoping his new set of proposals will unblocked still brecht's it negotiations they create a new regular treason in northern ireland to replace the backstop arrangement in the existing withdrawal bill hasn't gone down well with some senior european parliament figures who say they won't support it turn out reports nandan. it is

going to fail during a morning meeting of the cabinet boris johnson told ministers he would defend his new brakes of proposals in parliament with glutinous in mali and it's typical johnson language meaning he'd be syrup he sweet hugh very much mistress and so it proved actually prime minister and his proposals could hardly have seemed agree more reasonable for this government subject to as always being to leave with a deal and these constructive and reasonable proposals show our seriousness of purpose of alternative a range but the prime minister's proposals while welcomed by former skeptics on his own side have not gone down well with the opposition plan to have even the remotest customs checks on the island of ireland while northern ireland alone retains elements of the e.u. single market has been shot down as not credible and designed to fail if he doesn't get a deal at the october council summit will he abide by the laws of this country

the a.o. withdrawal number to act and request an extension to avoid a disastrous no deal that option does not can command itself to me it would incur another 1000000000 pounds a month trigger advantage whatever there are in this divided house of commons now 2 opposing forces on the one hand a force of will those willing in new brakes it feeling to be willing and to this breaks it crisis and on the other hand a force of resistance those who simply don't trust or is johnson's motives and who will do what ever they can to prevent and no deal breaks it none of which points to an easy majority for a deal in the house of commons we should turn is little incentive for e.u. leaders who will need to make their own compromises but our objective is very clear we don't want to see any customs posts between north and south and nor do we want

to see any tariffs are restrictions. trade north and south they were all about list in the 1900 s. we don't want to go back to that the majority of people in the north don't the majority of people in the republic of ireland don't but if we're going to be in 2 different customs unions i think that creates a real difficulty that's going to be very hard to reconcile separately european commission president john paul yorker has called the prime problematic senior european parliament figures say they won't support it boris johnson will have to use his most glutinous in mali and that's often as expected on a tour of e.u. capitals later this week john a whole al-jazeera london activist group extinction rebellion have returned to the streets of london spraying a government building in fake blood to demand urgent action on climate change a stunt went slightly wrong when protesters lost control of the high pressure firehose outside the u.k.'s treasury building no harm done though apparently as the red paint was it out of beetroot juice purchased in tin you don't talk of the fire
