to washington white house correspondent kimberly can tell us more this is pretty big isn't it kimberly. yeah there are so many fast moving developments adrian with regard to this impeachment inquiry right now we're watching very carefully to see the white house do a couple of things today but the big thing is it may in fact formally object to this impeachment inquiry and what does that mean what it means essentially is it's not going to cooperate with the request from the democratic controlled house of representatives that is overseeing this inquiry in terms of documents testimony until there is a vote in the house so that's one big piece watching very carefully on top of that there is going to be testimony on capitol hill today we mentioned that whistleblower in the report that was filed that went to the inspector general for the intelligence community that individual will be testifying on capitol hill a closed door hearing but often with these closed door hearings we get more information leaking out so we're watching that very carefully but in the midst of

all of this congress or congressional republicans are sticking by the president they're maintaining he's done nothing wrong and that in fact that the allegations by the democrats are that simply false and that those democratic allegations are that donald trump used just powers in the white house to take down or try to take down his political rival former vice president joe biden now the white house maintains it simply rooting out corruption adrian but in the midst of all of this we're waiting to hear what the president will say in the coming hours he set to leave the white house to go visit wounded warriors north of here in bethesda maryland in just a couple hours time but how significant to complete is the release of these text messages by the democrats revealing how u.s. officials discussed pushing the ukrainian president to publicly announce an investigation into into the point. it's pretty damning it's not good for this white house and that it came out of the testimony from the former

special envoy to ukraine kurt volker who we had never even heard of his name until yesterday when he was testifying on capitol hill and as a result of that testimony we've had these text messages released they really seem to underscore and give a lot of weight to the democrats' argument that there was a quid pro quo in other words that the u.s. president was dangling military aid to combat interference by russia in ukraine in exchange for an investigation being launched against former vice president joe biden still the white house is maintaining that that is not the case even as the president continues to call for investigations he believes that this this as the actions of hunter biden the son of the former vice president when he was on an energy company board in ukraine while joe biden was the vice president that there is something nefarious there and so he continues to maintain that there need to be investigations and he also this is the focus of these text messages in the weeks

after that july 25th phone call between u.s. president donald trump and the ukrainian leader. with his presidency caught up in an impeachment investigation over a phone call with the ukrainian leader u.s. president donald trump on thursday called on china to get involved. is just about as bad as what happened was. when you phrase the unconventional request to beijing comes as trump faces questions over his administration's request to foreign governments to help investigate former u.s. vice president joe biden his potential democratic rival in next year's presidential contest. trump was chinese authorities and other countries to investigate biden's son hunter and his business dealings overseas members of the u.s. congress are investigating allegations trump abused his presidential powers in a july phone call with ukrainian president vladimir selenski we need real support

whistleblower never says it was a conversation he got is it divisive i just said it. 3rd hand he wrote something the result of fiction the former vice president argued there's no evidence that he or his son committed any wrongdoing chump no there are no true george against me no i'm sure every independent news organization yes review charge. has found to be flat out lie still the number of trumpet ministration officials and snared in the impeachment inquiry continues to broaden vice president mike pence is now in the spotlight after reports the president trump tried to involve parents in efforts to pressure the ukrainian leader can really help at al-jazeera the white house.

between u.s. president donald trump and north korean leader kim jong un in hanoi in february ended early without a deal or even any significant announcement the holo diplomacy continued in june with another symbolic meeting at the demilitarized zone but no substance then and none since the hanoi summit broke down because of a gulf between the 2 sides which the united states may now be willing to partially bridge they had wanted complete verifiable denuclearization before offering any sanctions relief the north koreans wanted most sanctions lifted in exchange for the dismantling of their main nuclear facility. trump has now talked about a new approach which could include offering to lift some sanctions in exchange for the destruction of the yongbyon nuclear research complex the us president recently blamed his former national security adviser for past failings of john bolton fired back saying maximum pressure must be maintained on kim jong il he may try to get

relief from international sanctions he may make some concessions but under current circumstances he will never give up the nuclear weapons voluntarily this year north korea has continued to develop its short and medium range missile technology conducting tests 11 times its most recent came just hours after the resumption of talks was announced. trump says he's not concerned about the tests which some experts believe designed to strengthen their negotiating position you know this has to lower the bar of demands on north korea when it enters into a working level negotiations otherwise north korea will continue to increase its capability to pose a direct threat to the very national security of the united states is unlikely to be any major outcome from the resumption in talks but if a deal is reached any time soon it may be left to

a potential 3rd trump him summit to announce it when hey al-jazeera solve cameron's president has ordered the release of hundreds of people arrested during a separatist crisis in english speaking regions of the country but rebel leaders say that paul beers announcement is a political stunt and that they'll keep fighting national dialogue talks been held this week aimed at ending the 3 year conflict cameroon's english speaking regions are fighting to break away from the french majority and create the own state with a conflict has killed around 1800 people displaced more than half a 1000000 and a serious i would address has more now from your own day or where the national dialogue meeting is taking place. well in addition to the amnesty granted to $333.00 members of the opposition especially people linked with the crisis in the north west and southwest of come we're hearing about concessions more concessions from the cameroonian government in the regions which will include some

administrators just like some form of autonomy subject to confirm what we're hearing that probably just may get to vote on officials and local officials like members of parliament like mayors and governors instead of them being appointed from the center by the central government and addition also we probably could see the formation of new councils to kind of defy the relationship between those conflict areas and the larger community of society what is not clear is how the rest of the country will take these cuts that just already there are complaints that the government has conceded too much to get a 1000000000 and whether or not this will elicit some. not so palatable reactions from the 8 regions of the one not some where some of these people were coming from one not happy with because i just met it's left to be seen how about in a short while the government the the conference will formally come to an end and

already yes we've from the rebels. giving a lot of them did not attend this conference but the government. with the performance all the attendance of this conference and believe that the resolution is reached by the dialogue will be far reaching enough to end the violence in cameroon and also appease opposition rebels in the northwest southwest of the country. and of the can say is author of complex adaptive systems resilience and security in cameroon he's also a lecturer at aberdeen university and joins us now from the skype good to have you with us some would say this call for a national dialogue is too little too late the president really should have done something to address this crisis when it began back in 2017 do you agree. yes. makes

it. doesn't really make a huge difference. quality. or. not some separatists are going to attend the national dialogue talks about how effective are they going to be if key play is in this this dispute a missing. they were to wait until you were how. big the were not to wait and see what happens. but i'm going to. be. frank i don't work for the free. confidence building measures that are being taken i'm not prepared and i'll take them all and number of them eat. nothing and to get away from the bible school
