it is an similarities of cultures across the. time we take you will bring you the news and current affairs that matter to you. this is al-jazeera. the robin you're watching the al-jazeera news our life my headquarters here in doha are coming up in the next 60 minutes president drugs impeachment trial shifts to questions from senators as democrats push to hear from a key witness drops former security adviser john bolton. truth above all is on our side and that's why we're still in the fight that's why we're still in the ballpark. as palestinian protesters denounce donald trump's middle east plan

president mahmoud abbas says he'll travel to new york to address the u.n. . meanwhile with israel in the midst of an election campaign we look at the domestic reaction to trump's proposals. the whole world needs to be on alert the whole world needs to take action and be ready. for the warning from the world health organization urging all countries to take action to combat the corona virus outbreak. welcome to the news of the impeachment trial of u.s. president donald trump has entered a new phase with the start of 2 days of senators questions but that's already being overshadowed by the fallout from an upcoming book by the former national security adviser john bolton which could implicate the president. now leite excerpts from

the book appear to support accusations of abuse of power at the center of the president's trial the white house has moved to block the book's publication saying it contains significant amounts of classified information however on capitol hill democrats and republicans that it has to allow bolton to testify and if you have any question about it at all you need to hear from his former national security advisor don't wait for the book don't wait to march 17th when it is in black and white to find out the answer to your question was it all the motive some of the motive or none of the motive and we think as i mentioned the case is overwhelmingly clear without john bolton but if you have any question about it. you can to race all doubt. the hijack castro's been following events for us from capitol hill did washington d.c.

of course we have to then ask what is the sort of latest offense being offered by trump's lawyers. well so it appears that there's been an update to this defense maybe and in anticipation of the fallout you know from bolton's revelations in his book for he to become a witness and this new defense that was laid out by alan dershowitz the president's attorney goes something like this and it's a bit philosophical but it goes that if the president believes that it was also in the national interest for his own reelection which of course is in his personal interest and those 2 motives are mixed and thus the president should be the new from this impeachment process so there was already much discussion about that legal theory with senators speaking with reporters immediately after democrats calling it absurd and bizarre but moderate republicans who have been asking specific questions about what was the president's motives and what if the motive was mix

what if he was intent on helping ukraine combat corruption and at and that at the same time thought you know getting these investigations into joe biden would be helpful for his own reelection campaign and they asked about mixed motives to which the president's attorneys said that even if there was the possibility of the president having the nation's interest in mind even a bit of that mode of being due to the national interest that he should be acquitted and of course the focus really is on friday and the real chunks is over the pietschmann trial chile happening i mean what's your general assessment up to know. well everyone is has their eyes on the list for moderate republican senators who would essentially be the swing vote on whether or not to end this trial on friday. likely with an acquittal given the political dynamics of

republicans controlling the chamber or the other scenario voting on friday to open the trial to additional witnesses and of course that's where john bolton is back in the picture he's the former national security advisor to trump and the democrats have said that he has compelling information on the president's motives so it would take for 4 republicans to side with democrats to extend the trial to witnesses and the answer on whether or not they will do that will come on friday wolf and i will leave it that of course follows through the night had to construct force in washington d.c. welcome to all the debate surrounding john bolton's forthcoming book. the latest revelation a letter that has been made public as of today put forward by the white house to john bolton's attorneys and something making the argument that the book that he is planning to release next month that it cannot be released because it would put

national security at risk the letter saying that this was caused exceptionally grave harm to national security that the conversations between the u.s. president his former national security advisor are classified at the top secret level so essentially what the effort is is to try and avoid what we already know has been leaked in the form of the book that john bolton all but confirms that the president abused his presidential powers for political purposes by leveraging the office says that withholding military aid in order to pick up an investigation on political rival former vice president joe biden so this effort to try and stop the book is also an effort to try and stop the testimony on capitol hill that we know many democratic senators are pressing very hard to have made public the president's also discrediting the testimony he tweeted very early today that reacting to this

bolton bombshell as it's called that he fired the former national security adviser because it would be world war 6 by now that when he did then the for the president says that john bolton immediately went out and wrote a nasty and untrue book so essentially the president has sort of put forward this attack on many fronts whether it be setting executive privilege that the former national security adviser can't testify whether it be national security whether it be in the courts or even just discrediting the testimony before it's even heard. when bruce fein is the former u.s. associate deputy attorney general and joins me now from washington d.c. could have you on the program again mr fein i mean come on national security council or even the white house stop legally this book and the formal security grounds. well it's quite questionable in a famous case called snap versus the united states the united states supreme court held that if publication went forward without the security review that the united

states government could recover all the profits but in that case the book itself was published there is a very very strong presumption against what's called prior restraint trying to prevent publication of a book or a speech before it's disseminated to the public after the fact is a different matter where they want to punish somebody but here as well there is a unique element to the likelihood that mr mr bolton will be called as a witness remember mitch mcconnell and the majority leader of the senate said yesterday he doesn't have the votes to prevent additional witnesses and mr bolton would be number one on that list that even the republicans as well as democrats would want and i do not think that there would be any legal foundation for a court to tell a witness to refrain from testifying before a senate impeachment trial the united states supreme court has made it clear the processes by which impeachment is heard by the house in the senate is exclusively

their responsibility and courts are not to intercede because so we could have the situation where even if the book is not published mr bolton is testifying to the same events before the senate so what is the protocol was to find when you were within the close confines of the presidency the white house and you want to write about your experiences through your own lifetime hypothetically because people like michael wolff james could be bobbled what would have all published books all this sort of issue all the scenario of the white house. surely you must get clearance of some sort before you've put pen to paper. well what is required and i had to sign one when i was in the government is you submit in a contract to pre-publication review of your manuscript before it's published but still the courts have held the executive doesn't have willy nilly authority to declassify information that really is more political or discloses lawlessness than

otherwise and when cases have gone to court where the author of a book has challenge the cia or the security established for improperly trying to redact information they've generally speaking prevailed remember the standards for classification are very very wobbly and vague and the abuse is rampant with regard to bob woodward for example he's written countless books there's classified information on virtually every page which is true of his book about the trump administration called fear and yet there was never attempt to go to court what also undermines the trump administration is that if they did permit ambassador sanyal in to testify about communication with the president and never and vote classification as a reason for for censorship or suppression so it looks as though it's a political rather than a national security issue that troubles the white house of course that is the next few days will live with the witnesses can be called to the trial not so easy to win

win situation for john bolton whether he appears. it is absolutely when when the book sales of are going to go right through the roof because of all this unbelievable free publicity if you will so it's going to call more rather than less attention to the disclosures and he's probably smiling right now sweet revenge from being handled this in such an abusive way by the president was fine always good to get your insights and your opinion on all these sorts of issues thanks very much for your time from washington d.c. thank thank you. now the palestinians are putting pressure on the u.n. to take action against the u.s. president's plan for the middle east palestinian president mahmoud abbas will speak at the security council in the next 2 weeks the palestinian envoy to the u.n. says he's hoping the 15 member group will back a draft resolution on the issue or diplomatic editor james bays has more from the

u.n. in new york. just moments before this meeting the palestinian ambassador met the current president of the security council the vietnamese ambassador dong ding they discussed plans for president abbas to address the council as part of a diplomatic offensive that will also include trips to the african union and this weekend to the arab league the aim is to defeat the trump plan to drag us to negotiate after they steal another 40 percent of the occupied west bank and to negotiate over 40 years that the tears of the left over it is a recipe for the destruction of the national rights of the palestinian people and it will not fly it is not acceptable and those who think that the palestinian people will evaporate they will not u.n. secretary general antonio good tennis has been very guarded in his response to the trauma plan only issuing a written statement reiterating that the u.n.

position is defined by existing security council and general assembly resolutions the trump plan clearly contravenes these are one but the u.n. spokesperson is careful not to make that clear publicly seen the announcement of the plan. i'm not going to get into that which will be left to the others to decide notably member states themselves. does he think this is a peace plan or annexation i'm not going to characterize it the secretary general did in fact receive a call from mr kushner yesterday afternoon who briefed him. on the plan but i'm not going to go further than what i've said by the time president abbas comes here in the next 2 weeks i'm told the current arab member of the security council tunisia well prepared a draft resolution condemning the trump plan if it's voted on the u.s.

is bound as a permanent member to use its veto. however the palestinians are hoping they'll be isolated with all the other members of the security council either supporting them or abstaining james 0 of the united nations well trance middle east plan is already having an impact on the final weeks of israel's election campaign benjamin netanyahu is presenting it as a victory for his leadership his main rival benny gantz is promising to bring the entire deal to a vote in the israeli parliament are a force that has more for west jerusalem this is historic and this you became the 1st world leader to recognize israel's sovereignty over areas in judea and samaria that are vital to our security and central to our heritage the soaring music and off camera voiceover had all the hallmarks of a campaign video promising israeli sovereignty in the occupied west bank but for benjamin netanyahu a day after what he had termed a history making event in washington the breaks have been at least momentarily

applied he had promised to hold a vote in cabinet on sunday on an exciting the jordan valley and illegal israeli settlements in the occupied west bank but the united states is now making it clear that it wants further coordination before the process begins so does this hamper netanyahu election campaign one former israeli diplomat thinks not trump thanked him for the difficult work he did in creating this so you know he's behind it so if there is another move with which they can help him be quiet let my government do it . with it we'll have an overwhelming majority of americans will not stop you but netanyahu isn't the only one trying to make electoral capital out of the announcement his defense minister the head of a rival right wing grouping of parties said annexation had to happen now not after the election although. i've ordered the formation of a special team to implement the application of israeli law and sovereignty on all

jewish settlements in the somare. to dare the jordan valley and the northern dead sea the team will start working immediately. while the israeli left has rejected the plan netanyahu his main centrist challenger benny gantz has endorsed it but it does risk shifting his campaign away from its previous focus on netanyahu indictment in 3 corruption cases this plan coming just after the official announcement is indictments are being filed with the jerusalem district court means that he will he now has hold of the of the agenda of the narrative and it's certainly something that they want to continue to push the consequences of this deal with its provisions for israeli annexation for the literal walling off of any future palestinian state from the heart of east jerusalem could be felt for years but here in the midst of yet another israeli election campaign the timeline being focused on is much shorter the next 32 days until israelis go to the polls again

very force at al-jazeera west jerusalem the israeli military briefly closed all gates leading to the al aqsa mosque in occupied east jerusalem on wednesday it says it believes a knife attack was imminent several palestinians were arrested inside the compound also known as the temple mount the dispute site has disputed pardon me has seen regular outbreaks of violence. well more than 2000000 palestinians living in jordan many of them voicing anger over the u.s. president's plan but the reaction from jordan's king does government has been muted as natasha going to reports from the capital among. mahmoud months or is part of a dwindling palestinian generation born before 948 and what's called the nothing or disaster when the israelis seized homes and separated families for 53 years he's been forced to live in this refugee camp longing to breathe in the air of his homeland. every day i think of my old neighborhood and my family even the soil i

walked on i remember if i had the opportunity to leave all that i have here and go home to palestine i would go back. even before president trump began announcing his middle east plan on tuesday protesters gathered in the jordanian capital of i-man in front of the american embassy jordan which has traditionally played a role in previous peace plans had been studied line from discussions on sunday king abdullah voiced his opposition we have to rally support from the. international community. hend display and look for genuine peace according to the international law but the country is forced to tread a delicate balancing act between the competing interests of the united states and israel jordan has security ties with the united states and receives much needed

economic aid with israel it has a peace treaty and beginning this year a controversial gas deal jordan is also home to more than $2000000.00 palestinians the largest population outside the occupied territories i am afraid there is the who. is a very good dress hippy photo is intended to have. because if you keep on dressed up countries will not have the opportunity to develop months or continues to work at the carpentry business he opened as a young man and once thought would only be temporary he says palestinians must resist and make sure that this american president does not determine their destinies natasha going to name al-jazeera on men. plenty more ahead here on the

a plane carrying more than 200 japanese citizens arrives in tokyo from china they're among the 1st foreign nationals to be evacuated by the government from wu han the capital of who bay province which is under lockdown because of corona virus . the only cure is open and i was very worried because the situation changed very rapidly honestly i am quite relieved that they brought his home swiftly with a chartered plane that. upon arrival 4 of the passengers suffering flu like symptoms were taken to hospital. as the crisis deepens more countries are looking to follow the lead of japan and the united states and begin airlifting their nationals out we have taken a decision the smalling to prepare a plan for an operation to provide some assisted departures for isolated and vulnerable stray ians in harm in the who by province in one hand where the outbreak

started medical staff and hospitals are struggling to cope with the number of cases which grows by the day to do so 2 completely new makeshift hospitals are being built to treat coronavirus patients with construction workers operating around the clock. and the government is sending thousands of extra doctors and nurses to a province from other parts of china well you hope so. i will tell my family the exciting news after i come back i have not dared to tell them now for fear that they would be worried about me. in hong kong where there are several confirmed cases of the virus the government has been criticised for being too slow to react it's now suspended ferry and train services to and from mainland china indefinitely the hong kong government has been coming under increasing pressure with many calling for the border crossings between here and mainland china to be closed completely which hasn't happened the partial closure is being welcomed by the

move on who were checked when they left on checked when their plane stopped to refuel in alaska and then checked again here upon arrival are settling into barracks they are said to be somewhat frightened obviously by the entire situation and yet quite happy to be out of on and to be receiving medical treatment or medical monitoring as you mentioned they're going to be here for at least 3 days they're going to send that samples of the passengers blood to the centers for disease control in atlanta georgia that takes about 3 days for the sequencing to be done and they will then determine whether the passengers are free of the virus and if they are they'll then be allowed to leave but they need to be monitored and

surveilled by the health authorities in whatever their local town or city might happen to be now the planed earlier today they were met by dozens of personnel in. head to toe biological safety gear white body suits and then pushed down to put on the bus as it would quickly taken away to a series of barracks here the coronavirus. has no cure so if any one of these passengers is found to be suffering from the virus they can only be offered sort of supportive treatment that is being kept a full of fluids and being made as comfortable as possible as you mentioned so hail more than 6000 people in more than a. dozen countries have been diagnosed with the disease and the death toll is

steadily rising. public else authorities here in riverside county california say that there is no danger of the people here spreading the han corona virus to any of the general public in this area it is as you can see a fairly remote and unpopulated area the military personnel on board there on the base itself will not be in any contact with the passengers from that flight and as i also as i believe you also mentioned so ill of many air carriers are now reconsidering their. flight routes in and out of china and at least one major carrier british airways has stopped flying in and out of china altogether so. for the moment thanks very much rob for the update of course we'll continue to follow events with us from california thank you not a lot parishes the regional medical director of northern europe international

s.o.s. which is a medical and travel security firm he says there is a lot of variance in how different countries are responding. if we go back and we just think now we've got 6000 cases around the world the majority of those in china the chinese health authorities identify the virus very quickly once this outbreak has been found they sequenced the virus so we know the molecular structure of it which helps us then make diagnostic test forces and then they have instigated this extraordinary quarantine you know will haunt and many other places in the bay and stopped transport minister all of which helps to stop the spread of the virus which is good there's about 100 cases outside china so far and the rest are within china the global reaction has varied some countries have instigated quite strong rules on what they will do with people coming back from china from on chinese of the

australian authorities or c.r. asking people to spend 2 weeks in christmas island other countries many knots and so now it's a combination of a a medical issue a health care issue and then the some go political decisions on that and then the some transport and business decisions you know we have british airways stopping flights now and other things that's going to affect individuals if they want to or if they're in china. will still have all of his or activists accuse media outlets of india being biased in their coverage of a controversial citizenship will. also argentina's ambitious project to feed millions of people and poverty. to support with peter one formula one is the u.s. circuit is banking on plenty of drama those stories after the break. hello again or welcome back to your international weather forecast well in the

of classified information. the palestinians are putting pressure on the united nations to take action against trumps a plan for the middle east palestinian president mahmoud abbas will speak at the security council within the next 2 weeks. the world health organization will be to get on thursday to decide whether the coronavirus outbreak constitutes an international emergency it's urging all countries to be ready and take action against the virus that has left more than 160 people dead in china. let's get more now on what our top stories the fallout from president trump's middle east peace plan and this latest effort by the u.s. follows decades of conflict and mistrust and actually abroad takes a look at how we got here. when we look at president trump's proposed plan it's important to remember how palestinian territory has vanished over the past century and if we wind back to before the british mandate for palestine in 1917 this was

the map just 3 percent of the population were jews but over the next 50 years of british rule jewish immigration increased and when the mandate expired and 948 the state of israel was created and its military expelled at least 750000 palestinians from their homeland then during the 1967 war israel expanded its territory into the west bank including east jerusalem and the gaza strip occupying all of historic palestine in the 1990 s. under the oslo accords palestinians were given some powers of self rule but remained under israeli military occupation since then hundreds of thousands of israelis have moved into settlements built on that occupied land which is against international law and this is how a future palestinian state could look under trump's proposed plan israeli territory would separate the 2 main palestinian centers of gaza and the occupied west bank

though they'd be a tunnel between them but all of these israeli settlements inside palestinian territory would be recognized by the u.s. and while the plan would create a capital for the palestinians it's not east jerusalem it's in the eastern outskirts cut off from the old city and the mosque compound by a concrete separation wall and israeli checkpoints trump says jerusalem will be israel's undivided capital groups like amnesty international have rejected the plan saying it would exacerbate tensions and endorse israel's half century of occupation . the 60 general of the palestinian national initiative political party he says palestinians are united in their opposition to tribes still resist it at every level. this plan of course it can be unilaterally implemented by israel which israel is doing already but that doesn't mean there is a need it doesn't mean that without a palestinian up over this means nothing it means that an occupying power supported

by an american administration is committing coalition of international actually work can be described as a war crime in violation of international law and you are as aleutians but palestinians will do everything they can to stop it not only by ejecting it but also by resolving the internal division trained to create only fire leadership trained to adopt a new identity of strategy to what has failed which are the negotiations with the israeli side and most important through popular resistance like we were we have done to do you know secretary of state my pompei was in the united kingdom to reconsider its decision to award chinese tech firm weiwei a limited role in its 5 g. network pompei it has arrived in london for talks with his british counterpart dominic rather the prime minister he said the us would evaluate the u.k.'s decision

and that american information would only be allowed to pass through trusted networks parsed johnson insisted the move will not imperil the u.k.'s relationship with the trump administration. i think it is absolutely vital that people in this country do have access to the best technology available but that we also do absolutely nothing to imperil our relationship with the united states to do anything to compromise our critical national security infrastructure or to do anything to imperil our extremely valuable corporation with 5 eyes security partners. and staying in europe the european parliament overwhelmingly approved the departure of the u.k. from the e.u. their withdrawal agreement was ratified by 621 votes to 49 ceiling britain's official exit from the block on friday that has more from brussels. for the british army p.s. who wanted to remain in the european union and the european colleagues it was an

emotional moment as the e.u. parliament ratified the withdrawal agreement paving the way for britain to leave the e.u. on friday earlier in a debate some european leaders expressed regret over bragg suit and said it was the end of an era i want to use the words of the famous british for it george eliot she said. only in the agony of parting do we look into the depths of love we were always love you and we will never be far long lived europe and i think that i can say the name of all of us. all groups i can only say we will miss you in the coming time and in the coming. but the warm goodbyes nostalgia were cut short by possibly dead nigel farrar. but we're going to wave. a word in the future. if you disobey the

rules see that. put your flags away you're leaving and take them with you james wells he quit his job as a civil servant to campaign for president it was a moment to relish we believe in democracy and sovereignty so it's nothing to do with european peoples and european countries this is all about the european union the institution these are some of the british m.p.'s who are now packing up and preparing to leave brussels of course for those who supported and wanted for example it is a moment of celebration but for those who wanted to remain part of the european union or some say devastated british green party m.e.p. alexandra phillips spent the morning clearing her office i think the next 11 months we need to focus on ensuring that the u.k. is properly aligned as closely as possible to the e.u. and that we don't end on a race to the bottom on all sorts of standards protections including workers'

rights and environmental protections britain has been part of the e.u. for nearly half a century ending a long relationship is never easy equally challenging is working out how to get home when forced to cooperate with months of negotiations to hand over future relationship those here the hard part is just beginning with al-jazeera is. u.s. president all trump signed into law a new trade deal with mexico and canada that will replace the 25 year old american free trade agreement but the u.s. and mexico have ratified the new deal but canada has just begun the process of debating it in parliament for the 1st time in american history we have replaced a disastrous trade deal that rewarded outsourcing with a truly fair and reciprocal trade deal that will keep jobs wealth and growth right here in america true since it's also a partnership with mexico and canada and ourselves against the world it's really

a trade partnership if you look at it that way and it's a day of great celebration in all 3 countries argentina's new government has begun issuing food cards to low income families in an attempt to find malnutrition the card gives them between $50.00 and $90.00 a month to buy certain food items now the country is in the midst of an economic crisis and is gearing up to restructure around $100000000000.00 worth of debt trees about reports from one designer. long lines of people waiting to get government help this is happening in some order only half an hour away from the center of one of sightings. this is just one of the places in the country where the new government of the for a man this has not a program to fight my nutrition. has 4 children and has been without work for a year. it's a compliment to help last 4 years we have seen an increase in prices and it's

difficult to make sure the kids eat well. and rice and they need meat fish and protein in the past year the devaluation of the peso currency has had a strong impact on the price of food many of those coming here are already receiving government help this card gives them between $50.90 extra dollars a month to buy only certain food items and. my husband has some temporary work but i don't and this helps a lot with some basic items the government hopes to distribute over 560000 cards to help cope with the rising my nutrition in the province on site children can get vaccinated. and there is a nutrition expert that teaches people how to eat smart. with telling people what they should buy once they get the card we talk to them about what type of food that children eat we ask them to buy fruit vegetables meat and milk we see children who are not big enough and others who are overweight we are trying to educate them that

they shouldn't buy sugary drinks that do not add to that diet the government also hold that this cards will help reactivate argentina's economy that is already struggling with recession and nation and even though this food cart will certainly help lots of families here that are currently struggling with the economic crisis most analysts say that the program to help solve argentina's endemic in capacity to generate jobs now would i long for says the program will inject almost $9000000000.00 in the economy a year from now. we're in an emergency trying to allow families to buy basic needs but the objective as the. president seed is to change the economic structure in the country to be able to generate jobs that is what the country needs by activating the economy we would generate consumption and hopefully economic prosperity argentina produces grain and protein for millions of people around the world but it

has failed to fight my new richmond at home only use of sustained economic growth will guarantee better living conditions for those who depend on the government to survive. and when a society is heavy rains are causing more destruction in southeastern brazil at least 62 people have died and 30000 others have been displaced since the deluge began last week floods and landslides have destroyed terms initial state littering streets and daybreak some areas of experience the highest rainfall since records began more than 100 years ago. the european union safety agency has lifted a warning against flying over iran and iraq european airlines have been avoiding airspace in the 2 countries after a ukrainian passenger jet was accidentally shot down by iran 3 weeks ago but the e.u. is still recommending airlines avoid flying below 25000 feet in iran and to stick to 2 air corridors over iraq. the u.s.
