health workers in peru protest against a lack of protective gear was the country faces the worst coronavirus spread in south america. former u.s. national security advisor john bolton says president trump asked foreign leaders to help boost his reelection chances that's just one of a number of accusations made the negs of bolton's new book set to be released next week both the u.s. justice department and the white house are taking legal action to try to block it michaela has more from washington. the democrat controlled house of representatives impeach president trump for his dealings with ukraine ruling that he'd withheld aid to leverage information about his political opponent joe biden john bolton refused an invitation to testify before the house but now alleges that this action was typical of president trump's dealing with a number of countries and he criticizes the house for limiting its investigation to

ukraine's had they taken the time to inquire more systematically about trump's behavior across its entire foreign policy john bolton writes the impeachment outcome would have been different in published excerpts from his book bolton alleges that president trumps all favors from foreign leaders like taylor over one of turkey and in particular president xi of china bolton recounts president comes conversation when he met the chinese president in a saga on the 29th of june last year trump then stunningly turned the conversation to the coming u.s. presidential election alluding to china's economic capability and pleading with she to ensure he did when he stressed the importance of farmers and increased chinese purchases of story being said wheat in the electoral outcome balsam continues i would print trumps exact words but the government's pre-publication review process

has decided otherwise despite bolton's confirmation that the manuscript has been vetted by the national security council the department of justice has asked a federal court to block publication. 50 years ago the supreme court held that a similar attempt by the nixon administration to block publication of the pentagon papers amounted to censorship the widespread publication of passages from the book is likely to reinforce the federal court in applying precedent and rejecting the trumpet ministrations case next week it's likely the public will be able to read the full account of a white house which practices in john bolton's words obstruction of justice as a way of life mike hanna al-jazeera washington or joel rubin as a former u.s. deputy assistant secretary of state down the president of washington strategy group he says it's yet another example of the president using his office for personal

gain. well these revelations are damning and it clearly shows the president trump sold us out for his own personal political gain he made requests of china for example about their requesting that they interfere in our democratic elections to help him win in order for him to to safely stay in the presidency asking for a foreign power help one be the american president is deeply problematic and that is why he got impeached so these are damning revelations they're not surprising for those of us who have been arguing for years that donald trump is corrupting the presidency and it is disappointing that john bolton is only putting these on the book now president having taken a principled stand when he could have done something about it and that's what the president's men do and that's what we've seen them do throughout its presidency when they leave suddenly they find courage like general mattis finding courage to

speak out about donald trump's failure to address racism in this country and worse so it's a real problem to see this administration continually deny that the president is engaged in illegal behavior with foreign governments to help him win politically and where there's smoke there's fire so lighthouses argument really doesn't stand much chance and john bolton got the records i think to prove it. bolton also says that trump told she shrimping that he approved of china's repression of we get muslims and other minorities while publicly condemning the master tensions and on wednesday trump signed into law and that that calls for sanctions against chinese officials who are involved the u.s. state department says up to a 1000000 muslims have been detained in camps china's government says the centers provide vocational training for beijing has warned the u.s. of consequences for interfering in its internal affairs let's bring in andy moore

he's a senior research fellow at the center for china and globalization he joins us live from beijing and lisa how significant is the timing of this new law that trump has brought in against chinese officials over the treatment of its week of my knowledge isn't why now and the. well i think climbing into the sea in which things slowly are whining that you will be eating in the wind because they feel. better and it's. the least think they're not with. the other part of the planning here is that this is really not a surprise and so was. our. uganda city so everyone goes against in the. past. so i think that we. really have the worlds that are being said to be other vast with explaining. we

needs a lot of. foreign substances like and i think both arms on the border so we feel that they cannot be blamed on china moving that are ok. so that is. we know that beijing is warming us of serious consequences if it meddles and china is in town in the fez so just briefly what all the options open to china and always assume beijing perhaps take a harder line with washington on issues like the weak hong kong and even taiwan. we are who we are so we. borrow red wine or anything but rein it in. a more. well. off far on.

national security strategy. or winning trainer in washington. then i think china has a nice or 2 on top or yeah it is interesting because china says that the we get issue is not about human rights ethnicity or religion but this is all about terrorism and to separate them but why is china so sensitive about the international optics of the we get issue but i think it is certainly true which. in. the world of off our economic. issues what climate change or. morals is that. was should.

i think it is also very. far. but i think this is war. or world science that's. ok but he's. just just a final thought here and we have this controversial book by john bolton that says president trump tried to get the chinese president xi jinping to help him win reelection in 2020 but yet trump china is public enemy number one so what sort of fallout in china coming expect from bolton's accusations. but i think you're right . the little awkward situation there are elements of the more. i think he is much more pragmatic but the more interesting. i guess the amount of people actually. on the planet. are in sync was actually the right but the. characters are so very or i would say

that certainly are what i think they think what the administration thinks or says once. i'm up right to get your thoughts talking to al-jazeera thank you. now the un has welcomed efforts by china and india to talk and ease tensions after fighting on that disputed border in the himalayas 20 indian soldiers were killed in what's been described as a brawl in the golden valley region china hasn't said if there were any casualties on its side. reports. in the remote western himalayas there is little evidence of what indian and chinese soldiers to the worst of violence indicate both sides gave different versions of the violence and how it unfolded. amid a call for deescalation the body of a soldier is laid to rest india's army said there were casualties on both sides with no shots fired according to media reports no soldiers drowned allegedly

times. to have a closer military relationship with. a political divide now raising the stakes for beijing and who don't leap over where their vast frontier begins and ends. simply yawn. time for a short break here now to 0 when we come back more u.s. sanctions against syria's government and this time those closest to president assad being targeted. hundreds of lawyers need rallies in malawi accusing the president of trying to crush the courts to stay in power more of the stay with us. and they are hot and dry and also fairly windy throughout much of the middle east you can see it is relatively clear skies as i say the winds are coming from the north and east is very hot people doing their best to cool down however and
