aiming for a show of nature unity and midst 1st of division nature leaders are gathering in search of agreement on the direction of the world's largest military alliance. and again i'm not saying this is out of there alive from their heart also coming up china accuses the us of a smear campaign after american politicians called the sanctions over the treatment of weed a muslim. refining the case for the impeachment of donald trump $300.00 pages of evidence released as washington prepares to hear the legal arguments plus. in beijing with the world all that such a festival happening this week in amsterdam i'll be looking at why it's is that

it's chinese projects like this one. it's in the wards. for leaders of the world's largest military alliance have begun arriving as a venue just outside london for a summit hoping to find unity over nature's direction now the gathering comes as the block is rife with disagreements between some of its most prominent member countries the u.s. and french presidents in particular have disagreed on several points including the very role of nato and turkey has threatened to block a major defense plan which could undermine the alliances role in the baltic region while this morning nato secretary general against olsen back was the fast to arrive at the summit venue and he says china will be a big focus. we have seen the russell trying them including their investments in the the fence capability is china's. law a 2nd largest defense spending in the world the next 2 do not did states.

recently displayed new capabilities including nuclear weapons so we have to address these. the rise of china together. and look forward to the allies so doing these leaders meeting for the 1st time i will be going live to al-jazeera china how here then what have for us very shortly but fast here's out of america. it's supposed to be nato's 70th birthday but there's no celebration instead an atmosphere of disagreement and division with the u.s. president who once called the alliance obsolete now saying he fears that france might leave nato and i heard the president you know to break here i think it's very sobering to a lot of different. british men very proud. when you make

a statement like that is very very very nasty statement to essentially 20. 1 of the countries those comments were particularly pointed as president trump's next public meeting was with the french president there were uncomfortable moments when they were asked about european countries including france not taking back their nationals no prisoners in syria having fought for eisel. would you like some nice isis fighters you could give a few you could take everyone you want to let you take a. very large number find something wrong i'm focused on the. community. he knew that you had foreign fighters coming in from europe and this is the only recall of all of them we have in the region the number one problem of the front 5 this is the ice cream. and you have one more like you this is the

reason. this is where it is where the dish is always one of the greatest managers. so the trouble disagreements are not the only ones at this summit the french leader attacked turkey because of its recent incursion targeting the kurds in northern syria to see. this and the feel of the county. we needed to think. they now are finding against those who fight with us. charlotte. turk is president later met with his u.k. host prime minister johnson as well as president marc raul and the german chancellor merkel he's threatening to block nato has plans to protect poland and the baltic states unless others agree with him on syria. but i don't differ that despite all the differences which exist and which we have to address also have to discuss the

future of nato and things we have in common strategically but i am relatively optimistic about this meeting on top of all the other problems i'm told there is currently considerable tension between chancellor merkel and president mark roll over european defense and europe's role in the state of the alliance right now is full of division it is a multi-dimensional mess. london. well let's speak to joy in a hollow who's in what for just north of london that's where the leaders are gathering so generally from watching all those leaders arrive and i believe u.s. president trump is also on his way and as we just saw there in james's report things did get off to a rather bad tempered start on tuesday so what have we been hearing from the leaders this morning. well i think what they'll be trying to do today here in watford. as best they can at any rate these nato he does is put

on a show of unity to try and live up to what this meeting was billed as the 70th anniversary of the 70th birthday of nato the world's most successful military alliance it was intended to conceive this meeting all along to be a fairly sort of low key meeting it's not intended to be a high level summit it's not intended to come out with any big decisions or make any major progress on major issues it is supposed to be a show of nato unity on its 70th birthday and that's the sort of tone and tenor of the comments will be listened to as the discipline when they had to field questions about the divisions laid bare on tuesday and they've deflected them to an extent jens stoltenberg saying he was confident the allies would overcome differences on defense plans e cold nato active agile and adapting when he was asked about just about problems categorize ation of nato as being brain dead boris johnson the host heracles desperate. to settle the controversies particularly being in the midst of an

election campaign said that there's more but unites us than divides us and reinforced nato has a commitment to collective defense that in light of course of turkey's president obama's threatening to stand in the whale defenses in the baltics if nato doesn't line up behind his fight against the kurds who he sees as terrorists and many nato leaders say rootsy rather is invaluable allies so as hard as they try to put up this united front those differences 1st to the fore on tuesday are going to play very heavily no matter what they do and in general and what song is live pictures now of turkish president at 0 on arrive at that meeting he doesn't appear to have taken any questions and as you say techie is likely to be the center of attention at this meeting and that. then various threats made jews think member states will be able to resolve their differences. yes i think really the 2

key or perhaps 3 key antagonists at this meeting regicide one there is walking in emanuel macro in the french president and of course donald trump turkey will be front and center to the problems that nato faces securely as it has macaroni shines a light on the nature of this alliance what is it for what is it designed to do what is its future when an amended like turkey can stand in the way of collective defense that absolutely a guiding principle of what nato is all about and say we won't help or we won't support moves in the baltics if you don't support our moves against the kurds mr macro said we have different definitions of terrorism that is not our definition of terrorism and above and decided all is donald trump the u.s. president tacitly in fact more than tacitly supporting this to do arms position it points to deep fractures within this alliance yes to is at the center of it and no i that was very little chance that they will confusedly resolve these problems in

a day and we'll be following all of this very strange and how they're for us and what fred at this nato meeting thank you. now china is condemning a us bill demanding the closure of so-called reeducation camps for weaken muslims the us legislation still to be passed by the senate also threaten sanctions against coming as posse officials who are blamed for abuses more than a 1000000 of the muslim minority are imprisoned as part of a long running government crackdown in the north western region action on adrian brown is in hong kong and says that this is a cold war between the u.s. and china. we've had a fierce and swift response from the chinese foreign ministry they have called this bill malicious they say that the united states is wantonly smearing china's efforts to try to combat the terrorism problem that it says it has in the far western province of changing its warning of an specified retaliation now why is this so sensitive to china world changing lies at the heart of president xi jinping zan

vicious one belt one road project and for that project to work shin jang has to work and china says for the last few years changing hasn't been working because of what it says has been a growing terrorism problem china's response to that has been draconian it has set up what human rights groups say are nothing more than reeducation camps camps that china says are vocational training centers where we girls get to learn to try to find ways to improve their lives well human rights groups insists that is simply not the case it is now being taken up to the highest levels reaching the house of representatives and potentially president donald trump could now sign this act into law this in many ways is a defining moment for we good people because the president of united states is now listening to their plight with the shin sharing weaker act united states is also saying that senior chinese government officials including the communist party chief

of shin jang could himself be sanctioned so this is a very important moment for china's relationships with the united states and it's a reminder that this is not just a diplomatic war we are in the middle of a cold war. in the united states donald trump political rivals have laid out what they say is overwhelming evidence of the u.s. president's misconduct in office the 300 page impeachment reports. as the trump here has power to seek help from ukraine's president to benefit his re-election bid castro reports from washington d.c. . house intelligence chairman adam schiff presentation of his committee's report on donald trump offered little more than was already known but it's a key moment in what could be the impeachment of a president this is not about ukraine this is about our democracy this is about our

national security this is about where the american people have a right to expect that the president i states is going to act of their interests with their security in mind and not for some illicit personal or political reason so americans should care deeply about what the president and states is betraying their trust in him betraying that old foot he took to the constitution to protect our country and defend its institutions according to the report president trump solicited interference from ukraine to benefit his reelection conditioning a white house visit for the ukrainian president and $400000000.00 in u.s. military aid on a public statement that ukraine would investigate joe biden's family for alleged corruption trump denies he did anything wrong a white house spokeswoman released a statement saying at the end of a one sided sham process chairmanship and the democrats utterly failed to produce any evidence of wrongdoing by president trump this report reflects nothing more

than their frustrations chairmanships report reads like the ramblings of a basement blogger straining to prove something when there is evidence of nothing the evidence came from 17 witnesses including state department and white house insiders who testified trump ran a shadow campaign that undermined official u.s. foreign policy toward ukraine there was also the partial transcript of a phone call in which trump asked ukraine's president for a favor the biden investigation republicans rebutted with their own report offering a very different reading of the. facts they say the testimonies are here say that the phone call was perfect and that the democrats' efforts to impeach the president are an attack on a duly elected leader tamara provides nothing except a dreary drowsy approach for this country to watch as the impeachment process slowly drags on with no direction no focus because they're having one big problem

and the big problem is the president did nothing wrong and they can't prove it the process will now shift to the house judiciary committee which will draft articles of impeachment likely to focus on abuse of power and obstruction of congress americans have been evenly divided on whether to impeach and remove trump from office both political parties are claiming to be protecting american democracy how do you know castro al-jazeera washington. now still ahead on out of there devastation after more children die as a measles outbreak ravages the tiny south pacific island of someone. this is not a place for human beings and the latest calls for the closure of a migrant camp in bosnia stay with us.

mosques senior advisors and captains within his business empires took this very seriously when it happened they urged mosque to apologize and to quickly put it behind him he was resistant although he did apologize but then sort of restated us both some of the the things that he said about on's were later on the documents uncovered in court also show that musk paid tens of thousands of dollars to a detective agency to try and dig up some derogatory material about vernon on's worth and if they found it to leak it to the u.k. tabloids now apparently they were unable to find anything all this raises a question does the this case have an impact on lost business empire well tesla the electric car company is up in the stock market although very slightly over the
