as anger and frustration builds in sudan the prime minister has asked the government to resign and with their sacred month fuji off limits we will meet the japanese religious order that's made him a replica so they can keep watch. so the developing news out of the united states this is they those supreme court rulings on president donald trump's financial records things that he has fought hard to keep private however the judges have decided his tax returns can be made available at least to new york prosecutors but not yet to congress a manhattan district attorney wants the records as part of a criminal investigation into hush money payments made to women donald trump allegedly had affairs with the ruling concerned committees in the house of representatives they've been investigating potential foreign influence in russian

money laundering the judge said that one needs to go back down to a lower court to be decided it's there's been plenty of reaction from president trump so far this was the 1st of his many tweets where he talked about the supreme court as we said throwing that back down to the lower courts but saying it's all a political prosecution and he said he won them all of a witch hunt and others but now has to keep fighting in politically corrupt new york it's not fair to this president or discipline astray should. we've also heard from u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi she says that the path the supreme court has laid out she believes is achievable in the lower courts carefully in 3 mm court ruling related to the president financial records is not good news for president trump the court has reaffirmed the congress's authority to conduct oversight on behalf of the american people as it asks for further information from congress congress's constitutional responsibility to uncover the truth to ship

a cli related to the president russia connection that he is hiding that congress will continue to conduct oversight for the people polled in the separation of powers that is the genius of our constitution we will continue to press our case. statements aplenty today as well another one from deutsche bank on today's supreme court ruling towards a banker from from so one of his a long time lenders it says doj a bank has demonstrated full respect for the us legal process and remain neutral throughout these proceedings we will of course abide by a final decision by the courts as are all the statements is the reaction which will go through with the same white house correspondent kimberly how could in a moment 1st she have pretends the outside the supreme court she had the decision itself the numbers the majority take us through them and the significance of who voted and why they voted like that. it wasn't even close or $72.00 majority in both cases which includes in the majority justices

gorsuch and cavanaugh who donald trump's nominees for the supreme court in the 1st case than the new york case the justices throwing out this idea from donald trump's lawyers that the request for financial information from donald trump's accountants was simply harassment and would set a precedent that would mean that all future presidents would be open to harassment from politically motivated district attorneys around the country by flooding the white house with subpoenas let's see record had no time for that basically saying there's plenty of legal precedent with presidents cooperating with legal investigations so they didn't really have a have a leg to stand on that now then goes back to so that this information then will eventually be released to the new york district attorney's grand jury but these proceedings will be in private the grand jury is

a body that decides whether someone should be indicted for these these are held these proceedings are held behind closed doors because if someone isn't indicted you know that information to be public knowledge necessary so these deliberations will continue in private unless there's a leak the public won't be able to see the requisite will eventually be handed over to to the to that grand jury the 2nd case that it's true as nancy pelosi suggested that the supreme court has upheld congress's right to subpoena documents from the executive which actually you know may have been a question to some of the justices and that was i think the guards told us but. the problem is what they're saying is this company unlimited power to subpoena anything you want you have to show that there is legislative intent that. by getting these documents it will contribute in some way to the formation of law and congress did say that we didn't know these documents may pertain to money laundering to do

oversight over taxation financial regulation congressional campaign finance reform but what the justice is saying is yeah but you didn't spell that out clearly enough so go back to the lower courts and spell that out so this does continue for donald trump it is bad news says that donald trump's lawyers arguments weren't accepted but if the old terms it all shows motivation may have been just delay all of this until after the next election and that he's clearly succeeded because it doesn't seem like we'll get any of trump's financial records in the open before november chambre tanzi thank you for that now kimberly how kit at the white house kimberly how is donald trump taking the news can he view it is sort of well 11 loss one sort of 11. the initial reaction was one of sheer frustration publicly vented on twitter the president fuming accusing this of being politically motivated that he has been subjected to unprecedented political persecution and

pointing to the obama administration saying that they were never subjected to the same level of scrutiny that his administration has he's essentially said that he won the mole or witch hunt so his political opponents just went on to something else he alleges and says now i have to keep fighting in a politically correct new york it's not fair to this presidency or administration courts in the past have given broad deference but not me so initially the president appeared to be pretty frustrated almost egg knowledge in that this was a bit of a blow but since that we've had a statement from his attorney jay sekulow where they are now categorizing both decisions as a win i think the only when they can get is the ability to delay this as she has her chance he alluded to in a state of the president's lawyer saying we're pleased with the supreme court that is temporarily blocked congress and new york prosecutors from obtaining financial records will now proceed to raise cause to to tional and legal issues in the courts

in other words what's happened here is the supreme court's kicked this to a lower court to find 2 but ultimately it was pretty clear that this grand jury was going to get the information it was looking for but it's clear that the legal tactic from the u.s. president is to try and delay this by any means possible they spell that out they're going to raise new legal arguments new constitutional arguments having said that right now it appears that the manhattan district attorney feels optimistic they're going to get what they're looking for but it may not be the timeline they want they say our investigation delayed for a year will resume guided by the grand jury's obligation to follow the law and facts wherever they will lead. it in the she have said the president's banking records in the hands of georgia bank someone who are identity that loaned him money when he was doing real estate development in new york and they say they will comply with this ruling as will his accountant so it appears the tactic is just stretch

out the timeline of course donald trump wants to extend this beyond the november election we'll have to wait and see whether or not he's successful really how it gets at the white house thank you let's look at another state been which we've had out today this is from the new york district attorney's office saying this is a tremendous victory for our nation system of justice and its founding principle that no one not even a president is above the law our investigation which was delayed for almost a year by this lawsuit will resume guided as always by the grand jury's solemn obligation to follow the law and the facts wherever they may leads us now we heard from clear finkelstein a professor of law and philosophy at the university of pennsylvania also the director of faculty at the center for ethics and the rule of law there she thinks this is undoubtedly a blow for donald trump. what's most important about today's decision is that the supreme court has reaffirmed made very clear that the president is not of the law

he is the object to ordinary court procedures mike nixon and clinton before him he has to allow responses to subpoenas in this case it would have been quite shocking had it gone the other way because the subpoena was issued not to the president directly but to mass our as his accountants and they were willing to comply with the subpoena of the president was trying to use his presidential privilege to block mass ours from complying and here the supreme court has reaffirmed what it said in the case of nixon in clinton namely the president does not have that scope of privilege she is not able to say that he will block others from flying he couldn't block it himself and master as will have to turn over tax returns and financial records to the manhattan district attorney for

use in a grand jury and. just to top things off for donald trump i want to show you these live pictures from new york at the moment they are painting a black lives a massive banner on the street 5th avenue right outside trump tower had previously talked about this denigrating this luxury avenue in antagonizing new york's finest it's gone ahead though the mayor has said so in this of course follows a similar banner which we saw painted on a street near the white house in washington d.c. moving on the saudi led military coalition fighting yemen's hurt the rebels have destroyed 2 explosive laden boats in the red sea saudi state t.v. report of the destruction of the vessels which it said happened south of the yemeni port of salif the to remotely controlled boats were threatening navigation the coalition said. libya's un recognized government says it's found a prison used by warlord khalifa haftar to torture opponents government leaders in
