volcker the former special envoy to create have also been made public investigators have summoned strums acts in chief of staff mick mulvaney but he's unlikely to attend since the white house has told its officials not to comply castro has more no from washington d.c. . the transcripts reveal that a key witness has reversed his testimony regarding the question that is at the center of this impeachment inquiry and that is whether trump used u.s. security aid to bribe the ukrainian government to help him with his reelection campaign the witness in question here is ordered some of the u.s. ambassador to the u. and initially he had testified that there was no quid pro quo but upon reviewing the transcripts of other witnesses who had implicated him directly he now says his memory has been jarred and in fact explicitly remembers telling ukrainian officials

that this a cure the money was contingent on ukraine issuing a public statement saying it would investigate the son of trump's political rival joe biden now what is the significance of this reversal in testimony while some land was widely considered to be one of trump's closest allies he was a donor long before he was named ambassador and the fact that his 1st instinct they had been to protect the president and now he's moving away from trouble is indicative of the growing strength of this case to impeach the president the white house has responded to the release of these testimonies by ignoring most of the information contained in these pages that seem to implicate trump. well as get more on this front borman is a professor at the university of missouri school of law he's also the also of high crimes and misdemeanors

a history of impeachment for the age of trump and joins us now from the city of columbia in the state of missouri good to have you with us on the program professor bowman 1st of all can i just ask what you make of the evidence that's been put forward in this inquiry so far particularly those transcripts do you think this nie meets the threshold for impeachment. i do i think the transcripts that are being produced here do 2 things 1st they strengthen what we've already known about the case against mr trump in the sense that the evidence that there was indeed a quid pro quo in the sense of the fact that mr trump did indeed demand something from ukraine that is help against his political rival in return for military aid is becoming clearer and clearer and clearer. particularly today from the testimony of. ambassador sandland but the other thing that's interesting from

reading these transcripts is what they don't show and that is. the fact that there are indications of all throughout these transcripts of information that for example you know ambassador sandlin would like to bring to the house but is being barred from bringing by orders of the white house and of course as your reporter noted there are other witnesses that the house would like to have brought forward to. into the n.p.c. an inquiry to really confirm all the details of this story and the white house is blocking those so from a certain perspective this is the worst of all possible worlds for the white house on the one hand the transcripts are continuing to prove that there is a strong case for impeachment. on the grounds of abuse of power but the additional fact that the white house continues to obstruct the investigation provides a separate ground for impeachment because that is that too has traditionally been

a grounds for impeachment in american practice and there's it's interesting you raise that big and saying that blocking participation can't be grounds for impeachment in the south if that is the case then why is the white house pursuing this strategy in particular and do you think it kids eventually be successful. well i couldn't couldn't speak for the white house it's a i think if anything it's a sort of a suggestion of generalized incompetence on the one hand. enough information has been as emerged from the white house either voluntarily or as a result of really quite brave decisions on the behalf of half of many fine members of the american civil service military members who have come forward despite the

the efforts to dissuade them by the white house. on the one hand you have enough evidence to actually secure and in. an impeachment vote at the same time the president is refusing to produce an information that would actually confirm many of the details so this is the worst of all possible worlds and it's a little unclear what it is that they're thinking of other white house and certainly doesn't make a lot of sense to me. i come back to the point of strategy though because we can dismiss many parts of this presidency as as as incompetence as a as off the wall but it is mobilizing a base it is generating supports and a lot of trumps base refused to believe in the face of the suggestions of this evidence that he has done anything wrong this this could be a new tactic from president trump to shore up the base and everything else is just

by the bhai he think has his eye more on the election than the actual impeachment process because he is relying quite heavily of the supports of other republicans in the senate. well i think the one thing that mr trump has going for him is that he seems to have convinced the entire republican political class or almost all of it certainly those who are in congress that regardless of what he does there are simply unwilling to break from him and it is fairly clear at least in the house that it doesn't matter what these what facts are produced. the house house members in the republican party are either going to ignore it or they're going to talk about process one of the other interesting things that is revealed in these transcripts you may remember a couple of days ago or of a week week 10 days ago a group of republican legislators. in feigned outrage stormed the

secret hearing was to to guarantee that they could participate in these supposedly secret hearings so if you look at the transcripts the 1st thing you know of course is that these hearings are being conducted by jointly by 3 different committees that have over 40 republican members all of whom could participate if they wanted to but the transcripts reveal that hardly any of them are there at any given moment there are about 5 perhaps 3 or 4 or 5 republicans. participating in this process that. other republicans are grandstanding about being excluded from so it's plain that the tactic that's going to be adopted by the administration and by the republican allies is to try to focus on process rather than on the substance and it remains to be seen whether that will work one imagines that there is going to be in at least one article of impeachment voted out by the house of representatives i think that's almost certainly at this point then of course the president's fate will rest on the verdict of the senate but with $53.00 republicans there and the

necessity of a 2 thirds vote of conviction that has $67.00 votes there's a pretty good chance he'll survive irrespective of the fact that the evidence is overwhelming of his abuse of power the evidence of obstruction. overwhelming but it at this point it seems hard to know when republicans will be willing to recognize truths and further faces and actually vote to convict this guy professor bowman joining us there live from missouri thank you very much indeed for bringing us your thoughts. yemen's internationally recognized government says signs of para sharing agreements with separatists in the south the deal was brokered by a saudi arabia and seems to end months of violence was in the government forces and u.a.e. backed faces the standoff was complicated by the fact that the unsafety were fighting with the government against iranian backed rebels in other parts of yemen are

diplomatic editor james bays has more. a deal is signed that it's hoped may bring peace to one part of the violent war in yemen presiding at a ceremony saudi crown prince mohammed bin selma on those signing the government of yemen president had to be a key saudi ally was among those present and the southern transitional council which was strongly backed by the united arab emirates even though all the while they've remained part of the saudi led coalition in yemen the real war in yemen is obviously between the heart of government the coalition and the who are these so this is just a sideshow and this is kind of a small breakthrough in the sideshow that only occurred very recently at the u.n. in new york the deal was welcomed by the u.k. ambassador the current president of the u.n. security council and this is a good step forward and agreement that brings the satin transitional council into the government and we hope that the agreement will last and will be the 1st step if

you like on to increase momentum at to get across yemen political process yemen's conflict is complex and multi-dimensional southerners of long had grievances the south was a separate country for much of the cold war but it's worth noting that the last time a yemen peace deal was signed in stockholm almost a year ago the south was relatively quiet. the most recent clashes there only broke out this summer and in part this was linked to the u.a.e. which had the main international force in the south pulling most of its troops from the saudi led coalition the latest developments are important but they don't mean an end to the wider war and in particular the conflict between saudi arabia and the who thieves who still control a large portion of the country including the capital sanaa james byrd's out 0 of the united nations. now what is a former u.s. diplomat sent up t.

chief of mission in yemen he says the deal has the potential to bring peace but it's going to be a tough road ahead. well certainly this ring is hopefully it works and is implemented to. as your reports a small part of yemen specifically the eastern part of south yemen. but the idea of this is to broaden it in such a way as to bring peace and to return the government of yemen to the south and to the whole country so. to 2 scenarios here if we trust that the arab coalitions intentions are truly to help yemenis find peace and therefore to end the conflict completely then some

tough diplomatic challenges are ahead and they start with reconciling the eastern part of south yemen with the western part. then merging the 2 militaries as i said if the intention is good. then there are some tough challenges ahead but they are doing however if the intentions are are only for the out of correlation to dominate without direct occupation the south of yemen to unite the southern factions only to fight the hote these again then we have a different scenario on our hands and we have some very tough battles. the u.a.e. is combining more than 2 dozen defense companies to form one of the middle east's largest defense can come or at the un state will be called education will invest in technologies such as artificial intelligence research and development that will

that activity is banned on the 2050 nuclear deal dosage of ari reports. president hassan rouhani arrived at this factory in teheran for an inauguration ceremony but he used the term announce enron's 4th and most significant step in scaling back its commitment to the 2015 nuclear deal more as 5 adore iran's 4th step will be launched at the photo nuclear facility and i will advise the atomic energy organization to start as of tomorrow by feeding gas into the centrifuges i will also inform the p. 4 plus one of the step this new action will also be under the supervision of the international atomic energy agency for don't you clear facility is the only place where iran can and has produced 20 percent enriched uranium. that's considered an important stage towards developing uranium with the potential for a nuclear weapon it has always been a controversial facility its existence was revealed to the world by iran in 2009

that was after the united states intelligence agencies alleged that there was a secret nuclear facility in iran and the president acknowledged that there are sensitivities surrounding the plant. this may increase concerns we know people are sensitive about a quarter when it centrifuges but whatever they uphold their commitments we will reverse our steps. under the nuclear deal of 2015 for doe had become solely a research facility it was one of the most contentious points of the joint comprehensive plan of action or a agreed with world powers to limit iran's nuclear program since the united states withdrew from the deal in may of 2013 and imposed the series of new sanctions on iran officials here decided to gradually reduce their compliance and have been saying that if they are not able to sell their oil or to get the benefit of the transaction with the global financial system there is no benefit for data to remain

a party of the new cardio that to president rouhani declaring in may that every 60 days iran will announce another step until the remaining european signatories uphold their end of the. this latest announcement will have serious consequences for iran and officials here are very aware of that but president rouhani has stressed that all these measures are reversible as soon as the european signatories of the deal so for compliance until then iran will continue to take these steps while the international community continues its condemnations north of. terror on. well a responsible satan from syria have global a nonprofit group that works to strengthen nuclear security and safety practices he says that despite the breach of the nuclear deal iran's uranium enrichment capabilities remain low. i think it s. the precursor for beginning serious uranium enrichment at fordo. it's being

injected into $1044.00 i r one centrifuges which are extremely low tech they are the 1st generation of centrifuges and it's really the only one that. iran has been allowed to have under the terms of the j c p a way what is concerning is if they choose to escalate this even further move towards in radio. enrichment but the one comforting thing that came out of rouhani speech i think was that he said explicitly that they were inviting inspectors in to ford out to verify this so as long as that measure is in place i do not think there is a serious cause for concern till now the iranians have really only been tiptoeing around the red lines and the parameters of the j.c. theo is the only very recently exceeded the 300 kilogram threshold that the j.c.

set for lowly low enriched uranium that stockpile has increased a tiny little bit and they only recently started enriching to more than 3.67 percent which is what the j c p o allows them to enrich to it's going up to about 4.5 it's not significant so this really is the 1st material breach i'd say of the g.c. pay away but again you know as far as the u.s. government is concerned i think they consider the j.c. who i know envoy because they tore it up. so one talking point that i've heard that i thought was interesting is that the u.s. state department u.s. government expects iran to adhere to the deal that they have discarded and considered all and void and that there is no clear reason for them to start enriching uranium again and i think there is i think that reason is leverage and to counter that i think that there was no reason for the united states government's attempt a perfectly good nuclear deal. at least 15 people have been killed in an overnight

nile waters agreement in 1959 in which egypt and sudan agreed as to how much each state could take from the nile every year but the struggle was again intensified when in 2010 at the height of the arab spring ethiopia announced the grand ethiopian renaissance down project. the dam is 70 percent complete and the argument is now centered not on construction but on how much water will be diverted to fill the dam at the moment. to sort or on i hope the diplomatic efforts would lead to some flexibility from the ethiopian side because egypt is not asking to stop the dams construction but rather to slow down its construction which might be too late now because it is believed that a major part of the dam is already constructed but we could think about the way the dam will be operated and how the lake will be filled last month ethiopia's prime minister ahmed was awarded the nobel peace prize for his efforts in ending the war
