2:02 am
a clear dereliction of duty. evidence of this can be seen in the testimony of president trump's own white house council and several other white house witnesses. no man who would behave that way at that moment in time can ever serve in any position of authority in our nation. again. he is unfit for any office. on mike allen joins us now live from washington, d. c. mike, talk us through these recommended charges. what ave well, they are very serious federal charges which the committee is now recommending that the justice department bring against donald trump. now the justice department has prosecuted more than 900 people already in relation to the events on january, the 6th 2021. and it's notable that off those some $300.00 were charged with obstruction of official proceedings. now that is one of the charges that the
2:03 am
january 6 committee recommends bringing against donald trump. these are very serious federal charges, but now it's up to the justice department to decide whether or not to bring them. but one must remember too that the justice department has been contacting its own investigation into donald trump's attempts to subvert the election result from 2020 . now whether or not it incorporates the evidence that the committee has provided to it will be providing to attend coming days. that's something that will be open to be found. but it is obviously from the committees point of view, a roadmap for the special council who's been appointed to investigate those attempts to undermine the 2022 election. ok, like many thanks. indeed. let's go over now to adolfo frank republic construct. just and laura joined us also from washington d. c. good to have you with us. what do you think of these recommended charges?
2:04 am
the charge that have been recommended by the january 6, committee to the department of justice. well, this has been a political exercise in a charade from the beginning. you did a good job here of running live chinese ca, concluding comments today. you should run her opening statement. it's the same statement. yup. the only times i've seen for cities like this have been really and communist countries during the cold war like the soviet union. but that aside, this should be a chilling moment for any american that the legislative branch, as you correctly reported al jazeera is now investigating and bringing proposed charges, criminal charges, that is the function of the executive, not on the legislative branch. so in addition to it, the partisan addition to it being a charade, and a political kangaroo exercise or corta would even call it that it has a serious,
2:05 am
serious precedent. i will only divide the country further. i may add this committee has just a few days of life left on january 3rd, 222 republicans and unanimously. well vote to disband this committee and call it what it is, a fraud and investigate the committee itself. he said that it was, that's why that was path than it does have to republican lawmakers. oh no. oh no. oh no, no, no, no, i work in the house of representatives and i know the house rules very well. the minority leader is charged with naming the republican members. he named republican members that were rejected for the 1st time in our history by speaker pelosi, she, ne, in these 2 individuals in republican, a name only, you have to be your viewers to understand less, chaney, who was defeated by 40 points for these positions. and ad adams kissinger who
2:06 am
reside, who is retiring because you can't run re election. those 2 individuals represent less than one percent of the point of view of republicans in the current house of representatives. okay, so that's why i say political joke. ok, well you said that this would set this committee would set a dangerous new president. i put to you that attack and allowing an attack on the capital sets an extremely dangerous precedent in america. well, who allowed an attack on the, on, on the capitol? since when is that you from you presented here, which is fine. just one point of view. donald trump never had an an, an opportunity to present anything other than what he said, which is less. march peacefully letter or bumps is tuttle trying her to pin. and so parent the committee, a subpoena that he to 5 that the committee is not a court of law. it is saying it was one jai didn't, but donald trump refused to appear. donald trump refused to appear because he
2:07 am
doesn't recognize the legitimacy of this committee. and neither to the republicans in the house of representatives starting with its leader cam, i thought i remembered that most of donald trump's in a circle did testify including his daughter vanka, trump, including his class, trusted aid, rudy giuliani. i'm not contesting the fact that people have responded to the subpoenas because they feared persecution themselves. but many members of congress, the leader mccarthy and other members of congress and president trump, have defied the sabrina's has have other individuals. but an individual choice. i'm just saying that the house of representatives is not a court, a wall. ok, it is not the bridge isn't. that is what the dangerous precedent. but we'll leave that pause of this argument that because multiple courts have indeed up held this committee's legitimacy. let's move on to the department of justice that is conducting its own investigation into the capital riots. will you recognize that
2:08 am
one? well, there actually was a conclusion by, by an f b i report which is an extension of the, of the, of the justice department, f, b i in our country. the federal restorations is part of the justice department and they concluded if you look at the report report this committee was ever put together. there was no conspiracy. so you like to look at the, the, the findings of career people that this, this is already been investigate and it was by the, by, by another are not going to buy the i, but by the senate committee that also looked into this, this is, this is the problem with the house of representatives, when you have a majority, you can on a mentally do what you like and they have decided to conduct a political exercise. the justice department can investigate anything. i don't, i do not contest that, but there has been no conclusions or charges right against president trump by the justice department. okay. but it will be in sync. say if they take up these
2:09 am
recommended charges, alfredo franklin very much and it will, it will be wider country even more than it is divided if they do. okay, well we'll wait and see thanks very much taking the time to join us. thank you so much. i appreciate it now as you've been, it says from the european union have a great to implement a cap on the gas prices from february they'll be kept below a $190.00 per megawatt hour e members are under pressure to bring down high energy costs because of concern about shows just the blog has been trying to reduce its reliance on lushin gas supplies. since the invasion of ukraine, dominic cane has more from berlin. you get a sense of how unlikely disagreement seemed for many weeks. in fact, some would say several months when you hear what the relevant check minister, the check government has the presidency of the ear at the moment. and they have been driving these negotiations. you get a sense of their reaction to this agreement. when you hear what use of secular had
2:10 am
to say to reporters after the meeting broke up, and other mission impossible accomplished, and as it is in the movie series, this last was probably the most difficult one. i am proud that the chick presidency finally solved the last piece of far the of the energy puzzle. once again, we have proof that her, the eat will, can deliver points here to remember is that there were several different sides to this. on the one side you had the germans, the austrians, the dutch, who really were not sure about the value that a price cap. could have him would bring this idea of a fixed financial value for each megawatt hour. and then on the other hand, you have or is one of the other sites you had several southern mediterranean e, u member states who really were as it were crying out for some degree of help. the
2:11 am
greek minister, last week in brussels, had said this was ground 0 for greek citizens, but also e, you citizens, the commission. the e. u commission had wanted $275.00 euros per megawatt hour to be the price cab. the fact that it has been dropped to 180 gives you an idea of the lengths that everyone has had to go to to find this compromise. it has high court has ruled the government plan to send asylum seekers to wander is legal that he, for patient policy was suspended in june after a last minute challenge that the court or those and the cases of 8 asylum seekers do to be deported. must be considered. i foresight reports from london. i gathered london's high court refugee campaigners awaiting a ruling on legal challenges to the british governments stated, aim to send the vast majority of people seeking asylum in the u. k,
2:12 am
automatically to rwanda, to have their claims processed. and if successful to be settled there, for the most part, the judges found in favor of the government law. just as louis writing, we have concluded that it is lawful for the government to make arrangements for relocating asylum seekers to wander and for their asylum claims to be determined in rwanda rather than the u. k. however, the home secretary must consider properly the circumstances of each individual claimant. the court ruled that had not been done in the case of 8 individual asylum seekers whose deportation, her wonder was cooled off in june. after the european court of human rights intervened, people will have watched as she was re carefully today. and they will know now that that is a legal route open to them to challenge any of the decisions made by the home office. and between that situation and the possibility of appeals moving forwards, no one should think that this litigation is going away any time she certainly allowing individuals to challenge deportation to ruined up would undermine the
2:13 am
government's claim that the policy would deter them from trying to get to the u. k . in the 1st place, this year, the number of people making the short but dangerous crossing from france is up more than a 3rd at around 45000 people. speaking in latvia, britain's prime minister, welcome the ruling. what i want to deliver is a system whereby if you come to the u. k, illegally, you will not have the right to stay and we will be able to return you to your own country if it's safe or a safe alternative. like rwanda, that's a common sense position. i think of the vast majority the british public. it's my position and that's why i want to deliver is prime minister the various organizations who are challenging the government policy have of course expressed a deep disappointment at this ruling. but they're also saying that the road is far from run on an individual basis. asylum seekers will still be able to challenge that deportations to rwanda. and as far as a generic decision is concerned, that may well be grounds for appeal. i welcome the judges from the high court today . the british, i'm secretary, has in the post cold for britain to leave the european convention on human rights
2:14 am
to allow it more freedom to act. if any appeal against this ruling were to succeed in the european court, it would leave her colleague the prime minister, who studiously avoided that question with a difficult decision to make harry faucet al jazeera london cilla had hair on al jazeera, we can see the excitement building in argentina, little fans prepared to welcome. well come here. we live in venice, ira ah, here's your headlines for the america. it's good to have you along. this is what it's looking like. i think we're going to see some weather alerts for rainfall in rio de janeiro. we've got this constant feet of rain coming off the atlantic just feeding into the city. 25 degrees will be the height for you. some storms,
