evidence. let's try to have a civil conversation ok passionate debate for and against us president donald trump and whether he should be removed from office it's an issue dividing americans on full display is this democratic congresswoman in michigan attempted to explain why she supports impeachment i hope that even if people don't agree with my decision they see that i based my decision on my personal integrity and that is the most that i can do to show people that i share them even if we don't agree but even before the impeachment vote is cast in the u.s. house which is expected this week the debate over the senate trial is underway that trial would decide whether trump should be removed from office trump is pushing for a full hearing to clear his name one that would include witnesses and testimony he believes could hurt his democratic rivals now democrats have announced they want

their own witnesses to testify including trump's acting chief of staff mick mulvaney and former national security advisor john bolton to cover up his efforts the white house discouraged both you not to cooperate with the house in corrie even though both men could shed light on trump's motivations for withholding military aid to ukraine the basis for the impeachment investigation these people know. better than anybody else the facts there is no reason on god's green earth why they shouldn't be called and testify unless you're afraid of what they might say trump has repeatedly claimed no wrongdoing when he asked ukraine's president to do him a favor and investigate the son of his political rival joe biden on allegations of corruption transpersonal attorney rudolph giuliani fresh from a trip to ukraine has threatened to expose corruption and bribery on the part of members of the white house under u.s. president barack obama but when asked for specifics trump said he knew very little

of what giuliani was up to he's a great person who loves our country and he does this out of love believe me he does it out of love he sees what goes on it's an attempt to discredit the proceedings well offering no evidence to dispute the case against him signaling president trump is gearing up for a fight with trademark defiance kimberly heloc at al-jazeera the white house. let's bring you more on boeing's decision to suspend production of the 737 max all of them again was a deputy assistant secretary of transportation on the u.s. president bill clinton he's currently a professor of mechanical engineering at texas tech university joins us i was skype from lubbock texas good to have you with us so this decision a sign that the 737 months is issues have been properly fixed is that the message which consumers travelers should take away from this 1st of all. i think it is

sammy i think that the f.a.a. chief dick dixon and the boeing chief mullen burke are finally on the same page i think they're going slow with announcements as to when the flight the boeing 737 max will be up again and i think what you're seeing right now if i can speculate and behind the scenes boeing is doing a clean sheet design that say look at redesigning this aircraft to match what the air bus a 320 new engine option says doing because that's a higher engine mount insofar as it's up but has a higher ground clearance compared to what the old 737 was having and i think boeing got into trouble sammy when they tried to do a engine mount and pushed it forward onto the wing and that caused a differential lift from the engine since else you can't have lift from the engine

the lift must come from the wings and more importantly you had this that center of gravity which was off when you had the engines up court for to the center of gravity that threw out the maneuverability of the aircraft so that they're off the load factors which is the lift to weight ratio and the thrust factor of the aircraft which is the engine thrust to weight ratio all of this has to has an effect on the overall aerodynamic and structural stability of the aircraft and i think the empath was just trying to look at just the air at amex but i've been calling that to structural stability it's turned off when you threw the engine up authority on the engine wing which is a typically structurally a multicellular structural section and that has problems and torture point terminal structure when stability and i think that's what boeing is going back to a clean sheet design to take a look at this sounds like serious issues you're talking out of dynamics thrust lift where does this leave boeing where does it leave the competition to have us.

well i think competition barebones they're looking pretty good because they already did the design right in the 1st place and got maneuverability ok i think boeing has to do a little bit of catch up boeing is a fine company it's a fine company it's had the boeing 737. aircraft on market for a long long time and has a lot of brand credit credibility but this was a mistake and i think boeing right now is coming to that due to coming to that terms of decision and as well as the f.a.a. chief and i think also we had the fox watching the chicken coop in so we weren't always keeping our belt buckles and suspenders tight on safety and that's why we basically are looking both at f.a.a. employees right now to get that all together how this suspension of for the auction impacts some of the claims against boeing well boeing is going to pay about it's paying about $50000000.00 to the claims right now and there's going to be some more but i think basically the airliners are right now moving their schedules to account

for this they are already shifting their schedules to not include the boeing $737.00 max because they can't predict when it's going to get to the market but when boeing comes back with its clean sheet design i'm pretty sure the airline is going to be right back on because there is what there is still a strong trust or boeing as a brand in the market or how much damage the u.s. economy. not much i think boeing stock price is going to take a dip as it has already has and it will recover and most of the done my best time i've seen a stock recovery is when you have a real brand new clean sheet design technology coming forward and i keep saying clean sheet design on your show sammy because i'm emphasizing that but i need to do that on the down low and i think they're doing it ongoing and i think also that's reason why you're seeing caution from the f.a.a. chief who is say let's step back go slow let's get this all together and we will do the certification not us the engineers and i think that's a good place for f.a.a.

to be because they have to do different forms as well as boeing all right thanks so much for coming in all of them thank you. still ahead on al-jazeera why trying to write or a calling for an end to some un sanctions on north korea. aren't prone to moves its capital we look at whether the ambitions transition would benefit rest. hello there is a rather wintry picture across much of the united states side in terms of temperatures but a winter weather advisory structure will vary from the central plains up into the northeast and the whole this cloud we have some very cold air minus 6 in minneapolis but look at this in canada minus 23 celsius in winnipeg that is 13 degrees below the average now choose a is a very unsettled day i think in the northeast we've got snow mostly rain to the east into new york city and the west the clouds gathering pushing on shore and as
