this is you know on al-jazeera. be the hero the world needs. washing. the. al-jazeera. hello there i'm a star and this is the news hour live from coming up in the next 60 minutes a judge rejects the u.s. president's bid to block the publication of a controversial book by his former national security adviser john bolton. a powerful u.s. attorney reason best to gazing president tom's allies refuses to resign despite

efforts to remove him. egypt's president warns the libyan government in tripoli not to cross the current frontline but it's our life you have to. and zimbabwe is covered gate scandal the health minister faces corruption charges over a major contract for medical supplies. finally welling's with the sport including the news that fans who return to french football grounds next month cup competitions are going to be completed in forms on $5000.00 fans are being allowed into the study. now just hours before donald trump makes a big pitch to be reelected as u.s. president of course has paved the way for the publication of a tell all book on his time in office or far a judge has rejected trump's last ditch attempt to block the release by his form of the. security adviser john bolton in his book on alleges the president's war

china's help to win reelection a president trump has tweeted after that ruling he said bolton had been all washed up until he was given a chance at the white house despite the judge's ruling trump said his former national security adviser had broken the law by including classified information in his book and he also said bolton must pay a very big price for what he's done well let's now get more from mike hanna who's in washington d.c. for us mike unsurprisingly the white house not very pleased about this talk us through the judge's ruling today. well the judge basically found that the horse's left the bomb as he put to death because of the widespread public dissemination of passages from bolton's book the administration was essentially too late to bring his decision the judge found that the administration would suffer no harm the public would suffer no harm with the book being made

freely available as so many experts had already been published in the public domain but the judge as well was highly critical of john bolton saying that he had gambled with national security and adding that he had opened himself to civil and possibly criminal action now president trump issued an even more colorful tweet than what you just mentioned there saying that bolton in reference to him likes to drop bombs on people well we're going to drop a bomb on him very clearly president trump is considering criminal or civil action against john bolton based on the elements of this case now this is borne out by a statement has just been issued by the white house it which it says very clearly john bolton broke the law as the judge would appear to indicate and it says that it will make every effort to take this matter forward and to deny him any profits from the book which will be a consequence of a civil action against

a former national security adviser so the white house putting the best face on it saying it's a big win as president trump describes it intent on taking out further action on john bolton but come tuesday the public will be able to read the book in its full form well despite the attempt by the white house to put a brave face on this surely this is also incredibly embarrassing for the justice department getting involved in this at such a late stage. well it is and the justice department's had some problems in recent weeks and indeed months the judge made very clear in his decision that the outcome could have been different if the justice department had sought an injunction at the time that john bolton walked away from the national review process this the judge found was a transgression of the law however that was a long period of time ago and after that the excerpts from the book have been published but the judge making clear that the justice department was slow in

bringing the injunction if it had done so at the time that bolton left the review process at the time before the passages were made public the outcome could have come very different so certainly this is just going to add to what has been massive criticism of the justice department for its handling of a number of cases in recent weeks mike hanna there with all the latest from washington d.c. thanks very much mike well donald trump is also my head in another controversy after his attorney general bill barr tried to fire a top federal prosecutor who has investigated a number of the president's associates now jeffrey berman is refusing to step down and says he will continue his work as alexia o'brien reports. as the top federal prosecutor in manhattan jeffrey berman it's led several investigations into corruption close to the u.s. president's inner circle today and seeing an indictment charging love parness igor fruma in october last year he announced charges against 2 men linked to donald

trump's personal lawyer rudy giuliani they were accused of trying to buy influence of u.s. policy in ukraine in a case that added fuel to the calls for troops impeachment they saw a political influence not only to advance their own financial interests but to advance the political interests of at least one foreign official. these cases and an investigation into giuliani have concern to the trumpet ministration on friday night attorney general william announced berman was leaving his position saying that the president intends to nominate jay clayton the current chairman of the securities and exchange commission a lawyer with no experience as a prosecutor statement ending by thanking jeffrey berman describing him as stepping down after 2 and a half years of service their only problem is jeffrey berman says he's not going anywhere releasing his own statement i learned in

a press release from the attorney general tonight that i was stepping down as united states attorney i have not resigned and have no intention of resigning my position the trumpet ministration has a growing reputation for forcing out anyone seen as disloyal in recent weeks the president has fired a number of agency watchdogs including the inspector general of the intelligence community whose actions led to the impeachment inquiry but offered no explanation for attempting to replace berman a republican who once donated to trump's campaign democrats have accused barr of politicizing the department of justice and acting more like trump's personal lawyer barr i. heard. what. senate democrat chuck schumer of new york has tweeted the dismissal reeks of potential corruption of the legal process questioning what action by berman had motivated the president burmans laid cases

against transform a personal lawyer michael cohen and convicted sex offender for yet he says he'll continue to pursue justice without fear or favor until a presidential pointed replacement is confirmed by the senate and exam brian al-jazeera. has been preparing for his 1st campaign rallies. the krajina virus outbreak oklahoma's top court ruled that the event intelsat can go ahead in the coming hours despite attempts to stop it because of fears it could western the pandemic and that's not the only kentucky as well benelux reports. supporters of president donald trump have camped out for days outside the arena in tulsa 2 whether by choice or lack of historical knowledge president trump has chosen to kick off his reelection campaign in a city notorious for racist violence and mass murder in 1021 tolson's

prosperous greenwood neighborhood was known as black wall street when rumors spread about an encounter between a black teenage boy and a white girl armed gangs of whites rampage through greenwood killing and burning planes dropped incendiary bombs witnesses said some tulsa police officers set fire to homes and businesses while others stood by without intervening up to 300 african-americans were killed people saw bodies. lined up on the sand bars in the arkansas river and people talked about how bodies washed up downstream. and their people who said they saw people being tossed into mass graves in 2020 told so remain segregated with a history of racially discriminatory policing as protests over the killing of george floyd in minneapolis seethed a senior toles a police officer said this in

a radio interview. in 2016 a black man named turns crutcher was shot and killed by a white policewoman while standing next to his vehicle crutcher was unarmed the officer was acquitted of manslaughter tiffany crutcher is terence's twin sister in the same policing culture that burnt down my great grandmother's community black wall street also known as the greenwood community is the same culture that continues to persist the day the same culture and they killed my twin brother trump one oklahoma overwhelmingly in 2016 why then hold a rally in a state he'll almost certainly carry again. once.

and. once. i think a large part of the president's reelection effort is going to be. the strategy could back fire brand the middle of a pandemic and this will be the 1st large event since we've shut down everything after this family and it turns out there is a significant outbreak of $1000.00 among. i think that's really going to put into jeopardy the president's strategy it's a volatile combination of history of massacre a bitterly divided nation on edge and a deadly virus spreading fast with a president poised to stir up the brew robert oulds al-jazeera. well that's not going and granny brewer who is alive and for us graham i see that tulsa is reporting a new daily record of private 1000 cases we expecting big crowds then out of the us

. well there are quite a few people out here right now and about a couple hours ago they started letting people into the rally the capacity for the be ok center's a little over 900-0000 i'd say there's probably about a 1000 people right outside this particular gate one of a couple they've blocked off a city block of tulsa with a pretty high fences which you can probably see behind me i'm so you can't quite get directly next to the be ok center so it's difficult to tell exactly how many people have already gone inside but there's still quite a quite a large crowd here right now and this is just the trump supporters this isn't including people who are here to celebrate juneteenth or to protest this event well let me ask you about that because some demonstrators i also expected to protest times very presence that i believe do you get that a sense that there might be tension between the groups the supporters and those protesters. at this particular moment actually the mood is quite good it's fairly jovial i was at the juneteenth celebrations last night so greenwood where the

massacre in the in 1021 occurred is just south of downtown that's largely were a lot of the celebrations were held so there is kind of a super rich than a bit of a distance between those 2 competing crowds but overall we can the mood has been pretty good the weather's nice it's overcast so it's not too hot and there's just people kind of milling about i saw a gentleman walk by about a minute ago carrying a large wooden cross over his shoulder there's all sorts of booze set up and you can buy anything from a flag to a taser. interesting gramley brown of that on the streets of tel so for us keeping an eye on things thank you very much frank well we can now also speak to avis insurance to weave a she's a race and divesting expansion will have the president of the washington d.c. based consulting firm and science and the message avis. tensions are obviously very high not only in tulsa but across the united states at this time and as if the trump had already postponed this rally off to a head on june 18th yesterday what do you make of trump's decision to hold this

rally in tulsa i believe that it was an intentional poke in the eye of the black community and they also believe that it was an intentional dog whistle to his base a lot of whom we know are white supremacists one of the things that we've seen that has become endemic with his particular administration is that we've seen now increases in hate crimes in america at record pace we also saw in his last campaign in 2016 those counties where he held rallies experienced fight crime right after he won and so he knows exactly who he is the peel into by holding this rally there on sacred ground and he knows exactly who he is insulting at the same time as i was just discussing that with graham there has been talk of these demonstrators who may show up to try to oppose trump's presence and his supporters

but i see he's also threatened protesters on twitter calling them lowlifes if they disrupt his rally how is that going down. you know what it's to be expected to be perfectly honest he's not intimidating anyone but we would expect him to hold those sorts of views when it comes to demonstrators who call him to task for his activities which could be very easily described as racist at the same time which is his of coron stewart's demonstrators are not universal remember that in charlotte the furniture aliceville when there were white supremacists demonstrators who literally kill someone he turned around and call them very fine people so we know who he is we know what to expect in his tirades on twitter right now are getting a little old you mentioned spikes there and hate crimes i mean one of the big concerns about the rally today is a potential spike in 1000 cases and this is

a rally that's set to be held in a large indoor arena the kind of place that corona virus spreads and cases and i have been on the rise how is the president's disregard for the advice of a health officials being regarded it's completely consistent with his very narcissistic personality is completely psychopathic personality in terms of his inability to care for the safety and well being of others it's dimmick of his level of incompetence in terms of how he has managed this pandemic overall in this country which has led to over 100000 people dead in america and with us having the highest prevalence of coke at 19 in the world it is indeed because of who he is who he cares about which is just himself and his complete disregard for human rights life even the lives of his own supporters evidence we have seen people already started arriving at that venue and this is clearly a trump wanting to be embraced by his base right but his approval ratings have been

steadily slipping since the pandemic began and also with the protests with and sam cross the country how's he looking now heading towards november. actually he is experiencing really bad trends in terms of polling see him now behind biden by about 20 points nearing 20 points right now and many of the polls that i've seen some of the demographics that encourage him previously for example white women he is now losing in terms of his support among black people which he didn't carry last time he's actually going further behind than he was in 2016 and so you know right now it seems as if his campaign is going in can we lead the wrong direction i think he's really hoping though to be able to sort of rally his base his base make his base believe that colbert 19 is not a threat so that they would be encouraged to come out and vote for him and those

who survive antics like the one this one of the day well at the same time putting in place voter suppression tactics particularly targeting communities of color so as to maximize the voting power of his supporters and minimize the voting power of those people who are most likely to vote against him. speak to us from washington d.c. great to get your thoughts here on out is there. oh there's plenty more ahead for you this news hour including convicted of corruption a high profile congolese politician sentenced to 20 years of hard labor in prison. and national security bureau in hong kong chinese state media revealed details of a draft law that activists say further undermines regional autonomy. and the race for the spanish football title is heating up and so are the mind games between barcelona and real madrid.

money messages of the hope but we've also heard. jim barnes but white people people who are not legal of color. to get involved in the polls by taking on race is such a huge a racist behavior in their own community even their own family now a week ago there were there was mind of violence involving some people supporting the bright lights much aloof and some far right protestors here in search of london there's been no repeats of scenes like that so far. but there with all the nations from the streets of london we'll be watching those protests christ me thanks very much indeed. now egyptian president sisi has ordered the army to be ready to carry out missions abroad including in libya as he made those comments during a tour of an air base near egypt's western border with libya he also won texas back janny forces against attacking the strategic city of sirte saying that would cross

a red line and trigger a direct military intervention from egypt. but it would. you are ready to carry out any missions what i witnessed is a living proof for keeping billets yes i can see egypt's army is one of the mightiest armies in the region i am certain if we need a few sacrifices like those being carried out over the past 7 years along the borders with libya you are prepared to carry out any mission with no home soil or if required beyond our border lines and turkey is calling on warlord khalifa haftar to pull his forces from the city of sirte for a sustainable cease fire a spokesman for the turkish president also accused france of jeopardizing nato security by backing hafta have his forces had been pushed back from tripoli to search and recent weeks after they failed to seize the capital in a 14 month offensive. you know it's not only the tough to turn a deaf ear to calls for a diplomatic solution he also went on with his violation and belligerent assault

he's doomed to defeat and he will gain nothing he once had the chance for a political solution but he wasted them all no subversive person should have any role in libya's administration who plotters should not be allowed to become state leaders the best and only solution for libya is the political one. well the head of libya's internationally recognized government has been visiting algeria for talks with the president. met with president putin has been trying to mediate the conflict in libya his visit comes a week after divisions meeting with the parliament speaker of the rival government based on to brooke the drug administration as aligned with world khalifa haftar and accuse the sars of treason for taking military help from techie. now mali is being urged to rerun some contested local elections as soon as possible as anti-government protests gain momentum in the capital bamako regional bloc echo us

hour a u.s. court has rejected president trump's bid to block the release of a book by former national security advisor john bolton the judge carries it says the book carries national security concerns but he couldn't stop its publication. powerful new york prosecutor jeffrey bauman is refusing to leave his job despite the u.s. attorney general saying he'd been fired and had been investigating associates of president trump. in egypt and president has ordered his army to be ready to carry out a mission in libya meanwhile turkey has told egypt's ally pally for have to pull his forces from the libyan city of sirte to allow a ceasefire. ethiopia has rejected egypt's call for international intervention to resolve the dispute over a controversial dam on the river nile on friday cairo called on the un security council for a fair and balanced solution for the majority of the ground ethiopian a sometime is complete few lingering issues stalling the massive project you may

call soon explains. it's a dispute over the amount of water that can be pumped into dis reza war on the blue nile that stalled the latest round of talks between egypt and the guy. if he wants it failed within 7 years egypt which relies on the nile for 90 percent of its water proposes a much longer p.d.f. . it says the level of river water downstream will drop dramatically if the reza war is filled too quickly saddam caught between 2 disagreeing sides once an agreement on the time frame but it is now warning it will begin the process with or without a deal. if original agreement is put as a precondition for the filling of a dam then the dam will never be filled what was being is that of the dam is not filled unless there is an agreement the egypt will always come up with excuses to

not reach one. if he began the construction of the $4600000000.00 hydroelectric dam in 2011 it's expected to provide much needed electricity $200000000.00 a.t.o. paeans and also make it a major public exposure. egypt is concerned the project will allow it to control the flow of africa's longest river cairo has historically through colonial treaties received a majority of denied share although 85 percent of it originates in ethiopia all sides have a lot of pride and identity in this project i mean obviously the doubt river is that traill to egypt's existence and its identity and its economy. if yoga has spent $4600000000.00 of its own resources to build this dam minutes seen. as pradesh no pride where it is going to be able to generate power for itself

and for the entire region the u.s. tried brokering a deal earlier this year but it washington of siding with egypt both nations have hinted at military steps and experts fear a complete breakdown in talks could lead to conflict. and just seizure. now zimbabwe's health minister has appeared in course accused of illegally awarding a company with a multimillion dollar contract for corona virus medical supplies odium lawyer was arrested by the anti corruption agency on friday in a scandal dubbed covert gage where allegedly china's a company called drax international to provide the government with medical equipment at inflated prices he was granted bail and is due back in court in july where we can now speak to stephen chan he is a professor of international politics at the university of london school of oriental and african studies professor chan moyo is a cabinet minister and i believe he's also the 2nd cabinet minister to face corruption charges this is also a charge not

a conviction but does it demonstrate more of a commitment to trying to address corruption in zimbabwe. but if you could actually stands for commitment to end corruption i think in this case there's no choice but to out the country of iraq bahrain oil and economic problems right now that also absolutely brockwell the problems of 'd the so somebody trying to steal the money when other people have the money the people some through some covert 900 these trying to make money home to their suffering this is a lot of people to such an extent but i think the government had no choice but to allow those arrests so would you say that this arrest and the ongoing case that we will likely see in july this is really about trying to placate public anger that actually trying to address and demick corruption is trying to placate public anger and i don't think corruption is there to end the country it may or may not make

a public that the public is angry in general of all the options however it may be that list of what we are that comes the sacrificial lamb to try to placate public opinion as you say sacrificial lamb i see more oil wasn't the only person implicated in the scandal and one of the president's sons i believe also had to issue some kind of a denial will there be broader prosecutions do you think. doubt if there is one of the case pending very closely related to the drugs case that's a business them who isn't back to work katie constable with the business leaders who was to go out on his negations the bail i think comes up on monday so these are closely correlated to cases 'd but it's very very dog quote that it will spread as wide. as to the president's own. this whole scandal is being called

kind of a case and it's all happening as doctors and nurses have also been on strike the number of cases in zimbabwe is now estimated to be much higher than it's been reported just how is and by the way coping with the current virus handling people who are very very stoic that try to live their lives and that's that cabin was very very clear that the government is somebody that stumbled and that if it's going to stop misuse a vote is being made available to the thought of the international community for instance this funding coming in from china to try to help as a block away with the teams that she wishes if it's very clear that as well as the this use that this money is being raked all this is going to cause all kinds of international as late as last more problems there's a lot. how does this affect public perceptions of the government obviously very embarrassing about the the money being spent elsewhere on the scandal that's ongoing but how does this affect perceptions of leadership in amazon and oppa. well

inspire the president hasn't been leading all this issue tour or he seems very very much to be absolutely president when it comes to that loyalty that he seems to be much more concerned about and say that it's a factions within the party than trying to lead to the nation through the very very difficult time busy. what you heard here is not just the case that money be stolen but the supplier of the equipment that was meant to be bought with this moly isn't that a lot of good if the supply that there is very limited is a lawful supply of sort of the there's a very very shady will come to be passed. to the budapest no into a lot of the india where registered headquarters are keeps shifting that is one of these fears that is what you really should never be a company awarded such a huge contract professor stephen chan the offensive in sas in politics at the

rescue of london so us thank you for joining us here on out there great to get your insights now a high profile politician and democratic republic of congo has been sentenced to 20 years in prison with hard labor for corruption there but how come our way was found guilty of embezzling more than $50000000.00 from the public housing fund how metadata reports. come of it was once seen as a potential candidate for president of the democratic republic of congo but the high court has now convicted him of corruption and disqualified him from holding public office for 10 years to come out it has been in detention in kinshasa central prison also known as mccullough since the ain't none should have done is sentenced to 20 years hard labor after serving the sentence for telecom is forbidden from voting or running for election or from holding public office at any

level for 10 years. the case against kerry is unprecedented while some argue it's the right step towards coming widespread corruption he supporters see it as a means of settling political scores up to remove him from the 2023 presidential election. to calm down a lot of hastily thought the bushehr case focused only on be talcum area when other people should be investigated people receive certain benefits when they work for the presidency i condemn a justice system that sets its sights on a single person to talk america. can marry has been a central figure in congolese politics for the past 2 decades he pulled out of the race during the last elections in december 2018 clearing the way for president felix sick kid other time the 2 men made a pact and the which was to become prime minister and eventually the presidential candidate in the 2023 election. once in office security instead appointed

committee as chief of staff because he had to dissolve the prime minister post to a close ally of his predecessor just a kabila in accordance with another political part. the public money committee has been convicted of stealing was earmarked for building the homes in poor areas by the president early last year. the victim committers only removes amid the political player from the scene we toss a boost for president to kiddies against the democrat from in the democratic republic of congo however the president loses one of his closest allies in his past trouble with former president joseph kabila huisman still control most of the country's institutions how about the al-jazeera. 20 people are displaced every minute somewhere in the wild that's according to the un refugee agency which has released its latest figures to coincide with wild refugee day

today 79 and a half 1000000 people have been displaced because of war persecution and human rights abuses 40 percent of them under the age of 18 and in the past year alone 10000000 people were forced from their homes now turkey still hosts the largest number of refugees that's 3600000 people followed by colombia and pakistan while people in the mountain largest refugee camp and are confronting an even more dismal forecast monsoon rain is the new threat for more than a 1000000 russians are living on bangladesh's border with me and the aid workers have already warned of a disastrous toll from refugees contracting private 19. reports. it's monsoon season in the world's largest refugee settlement for the rohingya who live here one of the most vulnerable populations in the world and already dire situation grows even worse. we are in trouble now when it rains water enters my

house we can't sleep properly we have to keep our children on our shoulders at midnight if it rains. but the weather isn't the only thing keeping mohammad darkroom awake at night. far more worrying for him and his family is the threat posed by coded 19. l.f. so if there are hope risks we're not going out from our home with following instructions of the government for dozens of refugees have tested positive for corona virus since the 1st case was confirmed in the camps in mid may concerned about the devastating toll coded 1000 could take on the regime to the united nations refugee agency has been working hard to construct isolation shelters and quarantine facilities that people live cheek to jowl and very crowded circumstances they often say that the population density of the camp is double that of map and so you can imagine demick diseases are quite hard to control the district of cox's
