on with his claims of election fraud. and after suggesting that you might have criminal exposure, president trump makes his most explicit ask of the call. let's play a part of that conversation. so i want to do is, is i just want to buy for $11780.00 los which is one more that we have because because we want to say the secretary was the president here asking you for exactly what he wanted. one more vote than his opponent. what i knew is that we didn't have any votes to find it, continued the look. we investigated. i could have shared the numbers with you. there were no votes to find that was an accurate count that had been certified. and as our general counsel said, there was no shredding of ballots. the secretary, after making this request,

the prison then goes back to the danger of having you deny these allegations of fraud. let's listen to that part of the clip. and i watched you this morning and you said that well, there was no criminality but i, i mean, all of this stuff is very dangerous stuff. when you talk about no criminality, i think it's very dangerous for you to say that sector, asperger. you wrote about this in your book and you said quote, i felt then and still believe to day that this was a threat. others obviously thought so too, because some of trump's more radical followers have responded as if it was their duty to carry out this threat. please tell us what you, your wife, even your daughter in law experienced regarding threats from trumps, more radical followers. well, after the ellipse, after the election of my e mail, my cell phone was docs, and so i was getting text all over the country. and then eventually my wife started

getting a text and hers typically came in as sexualized, a tex, which were disgusting. you have to understand that trish tonight we met in high school. we were married over 40 years now and so they started going after her i think just to probably put pressure on me my to shes quit walk away. and so that happened. and then some people broke into my daughter lost a home and my son has passed and she's a widow and toes has 2 kids. and so were very concerned about her safety also. and mister screw, why didn't you just quit and walk away? because i knew that we had followed the law and we have followed the constitution. and i think sometimes moments required you to stand up and just take the shots, you're doing your job. and that's all we did. you know, we just followed along. we followed the constitution, and at the end of the day, president trump came up short, but had to be faithful to the constitution. and that's what i sort of to do. during

the remainder of the call, the foreign present continued to press you to find the remaining votes that would ensure his victory and ga. let's listen to a little more. why wouldn't you want to find the right answer, brad? instead of keep bang, get the numbers are right. so look, you get together to buy and bread, we just want the truth. it's simple. and and every one's going to look very good of the truth comes out. it's ok it take a little while, but let the truth come out of the room. truth is that one by 100000 vote at least. so that was so what are we going to do it but i only need $11000.00. i need 11000 votes, give me a break. 4 days after the presence call the secretary rapids, herbert was january 6th. the prison whipped up the crowd in front of the ellipse once again promoting the allegation that secretary raffle burger. the president's

own attorney general had told him was false. here he is on the ellipse in fulton county, republican po, watches rejected, in some cases physically from the room under the false pretense of a pipe burst watermain burst. everybody, lea, which we now know was a total lie, then election officials, full boxes, democrats, and suit cases of ballots out from under a table. your soda, television totally fraudulent, at a legally scanned dead for nearly 2 hours, totally unsupervised. tens of thousands of votes. his sac coincided with a mysterious vote dump of up 210-0000 votes with joe biden. almost none for trump. oh, that sounds fair. that was at $134.00. am mister secretary. mister sterling,

i want to thank you for your service to the state of georgia and to the country. speaker bowers. likewise, i want to thank you for your service to the state of arizona and to the country. you have serv, not only your home states, but our nation and our democracy, sherman, i yield back. thank a missed a shift. i think of witnesses for joining us today. you are now dismissed.

even watching the house committee investigating the journey, the 6 attack on capitol hill and other hearing there today, we heard the kind of pressure that some of the republican state officials came under from president. then president trump and his team to try to change the result of the election. and we've heard from, amongst those brad reference burger, the georgia sexual state, he was the last to talk then he talked about the kind of personal price he had to pay for standing up to the pressure his wife had to suffer attacks and people had broken into his daughter knows home as a result of him,

confirming the results that as he stolen registration and elections. while the stress election officials have told the us congress that they were personally pressured by the president, donald trump, to return the results of a 2020 election. they've testified before that for the hearing of the house committee mitigation into last year's capital hill rat to swing states that have been in focus during tuesdays hearing our georgia and i was owner. the committees heard from a testimony from georgia sector states, as we just mentioned, as well as i reserve as state leadership. why does your castro's been monitoring this hearing for so how do you patron merging of the kind of intense pressure, some of these republican officials ronda to overturn the election results and trumps personal involvement in the that's right, lauren, this is an intense picture that the american public or any one outside of this panel has really had the chance to see for themselves in this powerful testimony.

we're seeing these republican state election officials describe the many times that they were called. they said at our all hours of the night by president trump's aids pressuring them sometimes by president trump, himself, up pressuring them to either decertify their state's election results. i had gone to joe biden, or to open investigations into a quote unquote voter fraud. when there was no evidence of it, and you could see in the responses of these election officials, these were these republicans what a difficult position that put them in when they were pressured. told things by trump's aids like, hey, we're all republicans here, right? thought you would give us a better reception, but time and time again, these witnesses said their response was absolute refusal. they refused to get go

against their oaths to the u. s. constitution and their oath to their states, to the voices of their people. of course, in choosing which in choosing the, the presidential witter of their state. and so we heard of course, also the personal price as you were saying that these individuals paid protesters outside of the homes of some of these election workers. apparently president trump and some of his aids giving out the private phone numbers and other identifying private information so that protesters went outside of these people's homes. the ring in these, the shoals, fearing for their lives, still to come in today's hearing. we're expected to hear from i just your everyday election worker, a woman who i helped count the ballots in georgia in fulton county and was the object of a smear campaign. as she has said, that she says was waged by the president's former attorney rudy giuliani,

who she has now sued. she has been completely cleared of wrong doing i yet she also paid an intense personal price which is what we expect her to be. question about now i do. thank you very much indeed. how does your castro putting there from the capitol hill? ah, ministers in israel's outgoing government to avow to prevent a come back by former prime minister benjamin netanyahu. the fragile coalition announced on monday that parliament would be dissolved. it means israel can expect its 5th election in less than 4 years with polling predicting no clear winner. but a smith has more from west jerusalem. for a year, benjamin netanyahu has been working to bring down the coalition, but asked him from power. and he's managed it by blocking the normally automatic renewal of

a bill that extends israeli law into the settlements. now netanyahu sees a pop back to the prime minister's office. luca been lucky, i intend to form a strong national, steady government, but i think the atmosphere changed show. i can feel it. i mean, i hear from the people who show up. we now want to will change. we want to return the state of israel to the place to service. and i intend to do it together to with my friends without going a party coalition was the most unusual israeli history made up of the hard right. liberals on palestinian israelis from the arab list, they came together to get rid of netanyahu, but they claim other a t. i must say that themselves because the government was a pretty good government with corporation between jobs and jewish. it wasn't that it was a very good ministers, especially in it is cement corporation in

the i think that this government, it was very good for the citizens like this whole suggest benjamin netanyahu could, when 60 of the $120.00 c grabs in the classes election won't be held until towards the end of october until then. yeah, le pete is israel entering now to hear a senior political analyst him are in the shower, joins me in the studio as a modern israeli government collapsing again. why is it funny? it's a difficult to have a stable government. you know, the quite divided these rate is along tribal lines, if you will. there are the russian jews and this, and the oriental jews, the western jews. and there's the secular and there's the religious. so they divided on ethnic on religious secular as well as on charismatic lines, especially over the last decade or to a lot of the people who worked with nathan yo, the former prime minister. don't trust him any more. so they form their own parties

. in fact, 3 former chiefs of staffs including the present prime minister, 3 for much use of staffs of nathan. yeah. whole form their own parties and that are now competing with that. and you know, they just don't trust him. so that the jewish collective in israel is divided along those lines. but as it where, you know, the more it changes, the more stays the same. initial is coalition in particular that lasted around a year. did it manage to achieve anything differently from, from what others have done in the past. and as we've been saying over the last a day or 2, that this is, this will be what the selections inter years. so is, you know, this is just going on and on and her and her and while they are achieving some things like for example, the pastor budget becoming miraculous to best to pass a budget misery. because the prior to 3 years, the couldn't even pass a budget. they are that divided, but no. and the overall what they were really able to do was to keep nathan e o,

out of office for a year or plus, right? whether they will succeed to keep him longer, of course miss to be seen. yes, i mean i see that is one of the questions and what next is it? is it it setting the stage for returned in it and everything. you know, the thing is it's the car is like a one of those sort of clown dummies. i think they call them or clown toys. the more you punch them. they kind of lean back of the, the kind of, you know, push forward somehow. here might be very much of what we were covering earlier, anthony. i like trump. you know, if he can be famous, he'd be infamous as long as he stays relevant. so just like trump nathan, he, i was on the scrutiny. he's on trial for corruption, just like from peas under scrutiny. and he is now being, you know, looked into for interfering in the elections. but both of them are populist and they are popular. and the now is now leading the biggest block in the israeli connection is really part of it. and there's a shout. there's

a chance that he could come back and become prime minister again if he doesn't, that would be the end of his political career. what he's trying to do now is not gotten other elections. what he's trying to do now is with the existing parliament to be able to form our majority because of the defections from the present government. and what is always mean for any potential progress in the question of relationship between israel pastime zeal is the thought like it, la cycle 0 is, is, is not like great to know the 0. in the sense that look, i mean, this is important. that's what i meant, the more to choose, the more it says the so this present government like the previous governments have been on the right. it's what the palestinians called a part paid government in the sense that they support as a system that is horrific for the palestinians. but they also support support more of the sim, normalization with the arab world. in a sense, it's an occupation, a government, this one like the previous one,

like the one before and before and source of what you have now, that is more dangerous than before. is that not only you have radical right? leaving the israeli government. you have the radical right leading the opposition in israel. so in fact, what we have now is more than 3 quarters of the israeli parliament is on the right or the radical right. the only thing that stopping for, for a real right winged a government from emerging with some 75 seats is nathan yell, meaning net now is both, are uniting figured for the li could party. but at the vice of figured for israel. a lot of the other parties would not join him because they do not trust him for the palestinians. bennett natania how it's really more of the same continuation of occupational partied mile. and michelle, thank you very much indeed. and israel is conducting military drills in massa fietta any occupied west bank is the 1st exercise in the area. this is

where the supreme court rejected the past ending appeal against the firing zone. then of course, decision means that palestinians could be forcibly evicted it. abraham reports from that massive yetta, southeast of hebron in the occupied westlake these really army has picked up these targets here in my ass, in preparations for military exercises that are expected to last for one month. this area is called metacity eltoff and people i've recently lost an appeal at the israeli supreme court to stay on their lads. these really supreme court effectively gave these really the green light to evict palestinians as these really army declared the area of firing zone. we can go

you can say firing range fighting. now, activists from the surrounding areas came here. they took out those targets as a way to prevent the israelis from conducting exercises in the area. well, look at all these vast areas. israel occupied parts of data and 1948 other parts in 1967. not only can they train the israeli army over there, but the american and russian was to come here to our lunch instead of these really military presents the demolitions, the military drills and also in here by people as pre news to forcible eviction that could take place any minute now, but people tell us that these scare tactics are not working. they say they've lived here for decades. this is home and they have nowhere else to go. the russian church in the baltics as emerged as a new frontier of tensions between moscow and the u over ukraine. russia threatened

lithuania with serious consequences after haunted rail transit of several sanctioned goods to calling in grad, dominic caden as more from the german capital berlin. this is the main port in colleen in grat. it's facilities are important to the russian economy. for this is the only all year round ice free port, the country has on the baltic sea. many products essential for the local population in the russian exclaimed, come by sea, but many more come by land and are now being stopped. and if people in the stalls are to be believed, e u sanctions are hurting. kristen or it's a strawberry can i think we should pack up our belongings and leave because you can't go anywhere. this has never happened. i think not only me how many people are planning it now or even regretting that they are living and colleen ingram reaching out to me. those sanctions target specific license that transit new territory. this case high a rail through lithuania to and from russia that sanctioned goods, e,

steel, and other arg was made from iraq law will no longer be allowed to transit early training. it is done with consultation for the european will european commissioners and under the european commission guidelines. in many ways, claiming grad is a historical anomaly once part of what was called east prussia, but taken by the soviet union from nazi germany at the end of world war 2, then became part of the wider you ssr. but when that country died in the early 19 ninety's, the russian federation chose to hold on to colleen and grad. and so it became an exclaim, separated from russia proper, by the newly independent baltic states. which helps explain why officials in moscow are so agitated by the impact of sanctions. and have warned the people of lithuania to expect retaliation for their government's actions at that premium. because this example shows that you cannot trust either verbal statements by the west or written ones. no, russia will certainly respond to such hostile actions and about appropriate

measures are being worked out between departments and will be taken in the near future. their consequences will have a serious negative impact on the population of a for a while, it's a threat. some lithuanians have long anticipated bolt. the current that is differently from many other countries of european union didn't have any illusions about that rule or attempts. and they d as for fresher, a threat to one or all of the baltic states would constitute a threat to nato. many in the atlantic alliance maintain an armed presence there on this was the german chancellor visiting his country soldiers in lithuania, just 2 weeks ago. like many other european leaders, all of shots says his country will defend every centimeter of nato territory. dorner came al jazeera berlin, our diplomatic editor james bays asked the u. n. chief spokesman about the tension

over colleen in grad. we're obviously following these developments very closely in and around a clean ground, including i think the, the warnings we have seen of possible escalation, which are very concerning. a, it's very important for us at all sides to deal with their concerns through effective dialogue. oh, it was appropriate diplomatic channels in accordance with international law, and to refrain, i think, for many statement or for many action that could aggravate the 10th situation. russia, as president says, he will modernize his army in response to growing international threats. vladimir putin outlined plans on tuesday, including making rushes ground troops small combat effective for future conflicts as machinery which we will continue to develop and strengthen our armed forces, taking into account potential military threats and risks based on the lessons of modern armed conflicts. a priority is equipping troops with new weapons systems
