this is the. president warning if they impeach me the markets will crash two days after his black tuesday trump fires back on all fronts as talk of removing him from office. and even takes aim it is only a tourney general. to washington for the latest also coming up in the u.k. government tries to reassure citizens and businesses in case of britain crashes out of the european union without a deal new guidelines that some are calling survival plan. and we talked to the

captain of the german aid ship standing trial in malta after he landed two hundred thirty rescued mind brits they. have you with us tonight u.s. president donald trump is firing back at opponents who are calling for his impeachment it's been two days since his black tuesday when to have his aides were convicted and one of them his former attorney and his former attorney rather accused of ordering him to commit a federal crime to influence the outcome of the twenty sixteen presidential election trump were on fox and friends on fox news to declare that he had not broken any campaign laws he attacked his own attorney general jeff sessions for failing to show loyalty and take control of investigations. here's what trump

had to say in response to questions about his political future i'll tell you what if i ever got impeached i think the market would crash i think everybody would be very poor. because without this thinking you would see it you would see numbers that you wouldn't believe in reverse. all right going to take the story out of washington our bureau chief alexander phenomenas on the story for us good evening to you all xandra we heard there used the word impeachment extraordinary for a sitting president to do that is he issuing a threat here well it sounds like a threat like a warning there are two that are going to pay the price and that is i would say up trumps usual strategy to tack to bully his critics his opponents to threaten them and to make up stories but this is also a message to the republican voters to his supporters and their hope to mobilize

them to try if them to the polls by this prospect that the president may be in political peril and so he's sending this message saying them you have to vote for for me in the myths term elections to prevent democratic party from taking over the house with because if that happens that's really it's possible that we are a very likely that we are going to see impeachment proceedings starting with them and i was introduced interview it comes on the heels of that plea deal by jones former attorney michael cohen over hush money. in adult film star over an alleged extramarital so your listeners know what trump had to say about michael koch. did you directions maybe many do he made the deal and by the way he played to two counts and on a crime which nobody understands i watched

a number of shows sometimes you get some pretty good information by watching shows . those two cans are even a crime they were in campaign finance. one to go and he pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations among other charges you got strong very saying this is not a crime so what are we supposed to make of this while the president is arguing that there is no crime because the payments were made to with his own money but that doesn't exonerate team because the rules or the law is quite clear here you have to disclose and the pain expands. whether it's coming from a companion fund or from a private account and then there is attorney general jeff sessions he has washed back it strong today in saying that justice will not be influenced by politics now how significant is this alexander i think that is very

significant not the fact that it's a once again criticize it criticize sessions but the fact that sessions this time hit back normally he would he wouldn't response to the president criticism he would just continue and he's work at the justice department so the fact that now he is pushing back it's very significant we have to remind ourselves that sessions was one of the earliest and most high profile supporters of president strom and he might be now in jeopardy there are some republicans already talking about that that that the president might fire sessions after that mitt's terms all right of course when i was on a phenomenal list we've words tonight in washington alexandra thank you very much. well keep calm and carry on that is the message from the u.k. government as time starts to run out for agreeing on

a deal to withdraw from the european union should britain crash out with no deal the government has published guidelines for people and businesses on health to prepare for it but briggs and minister dominique rob says that he is still confident that agreement with the e.u. will be reached twenty five sets of guidelines for different industries were published today they'll be about fifty more by the end of september. the message is loud and clear don't panic britain's prime minister dominic robb emphasised the guidelines issued today emeli a contingency plan for the event of a new deal something he said is unlikely and i'm confident that a good deal is within all sides but remains all top priority it remains overriding priority. naturally we've got to consider the alternative possibility that the e.u. doesn't match our ambition and pragmatism that we don't reach a deal let me be clear about this it is not what we want and it's not what we

expect but we must be ready it's a deal rob was at pains to stress that even if there is no deal there will not let chaos in britain's. but despite ongoing negotiations between the twenty seven even member states in the u.k. the new deal scenario could have wide reaching consequences without a trade agreement britain's relationship with the e.u. would be governed by the rules of the world trade association customs chance would be reintroduced which would lead in time to massive queues along access roads to pools. w.t.f. rules do not cover and traffic however and planes would not be permitted to fly from the u.k. into aspace and vice versa that would have a knock on effect disrupting the delivery of foodstuffs britain imports thirty percent of its produce from the e.u. u.k. supermarkets could feel the pinch rob was eager to allay fears of a financial. issue so let me assure you that country to one of the wall the claims

you will still be able to enjoy be able to offer breaks it and there are no plans to deploy the army to maintain food supplies. health care services and the finance sector could also be his for citizens living in the european union could lose access to they you can't bank accounts it recognizes that rob is sticking to his doesn't tenet mantra adamant that the u.k. is ready for withdrawal without a deal very much all right let's pull in our correspondent barbara vanes though she joins us tonight from brussels good evening to you barbara you know i read that the european union had already put together its own documents on how to deal with a break sit no deal and now we're hearing that the brits are doing the same so what do you policymakers make of this do they believe that britain is ready for a no brakes deal. at least britain is finally acknowledging that breakfast is going

to be highly complicated because in brussels so far there was a general sentiment that the british side completely underestimated what breaks it means the complexity of the issue all these things that concern the supply not only of food but the whole supply chain of industrial production flight access to bank accounts this whole a complex and web of modern life is going to be torn apart forcefully if there is no deal and that is something that is a fault that the british the british government nobody really seem to entertain no finally they get into gear to make contingency or to say emergency plans and so brussels of course gets the feeling that yes they are looking at reality now and they might then and the next step may be ready to move again and it's hard to

understand the reasoning isn't it if you've always breaks it with the new deal is not an option why would you even publish these guidelines to begin with but despite that you've got the u.k. briggs and secretary dominic robb saying he's optimistic that a deal will be reached from brussels perspective from where your city do you think this kind of optimism that we're hearing in london is it will fail. optimism is certainly misplaced because from the e.u. perspective what needs to be needs to happen is that the british side needs to move again the reason may has put her latest proposal on the table before the summer and that's the so-called checkers paper is something that she cooked up with her cabinet in her country seat checkers and. looked at it and said what she says about friction is traffic customs union and a market for goods that is not palatable to us we can do that that is against our

rules so it is waiting for further compromises or to take britain taking a different tack however nothing is to be seen so in brussels really what they're doing when they're meeting each other here now and are continuing nolen the weekly basis it's just running in circles and so optimism is misplaced at the moment. so what about the likelihood of a new deal. taking place i've seen in brussels. the problem was the no deal direct brand is the timing and the timing works for it because tourism a conservative party conference in early october before that she can't make a move because the hard line breaks to use already out for battle against her if she survives the party conference then she has about six weeks maximum six weeks till the middle end of november to sort of get negotiations in brussels going again

make for the compromise and figure out an agreement that is a very very tight time frame almost impossible so the mall in the weeks race down to the end of november the more likely in no deal scenario and i don't know if you're hungry barbara but you know mr rob do you sure britons that they would continue to enjoy their bacon lettuce and tomato sandwiches no matter what would brussels brussels stand in the way of a good british b.l.t. sandwich even in the event of no deal. basically non bond brand to some of them are even assembled made in northern france and that won't have any more after breakfast of course and if the brits don't mind a bit of wilted lettuce and some of the tomatoes then of course they will continue to have they be o.t. because it will be stuck in trucks in. dover however maybe for britain it's the best idea to go back to the good old british pork pie know that

that might be the future off the united kingdom and we know it is all about nostalgia and the olden times my goodness but i don't know how hungry i am after that anyway thank you and both offer tea in brussels thank you barbara. about you are you ready for dinner. right pif and either let's talk about something a little bit more palatable i guess or tell them global jury necessarily sure if it is going away the u.s. has slapped a twenty five percent tariff on sixteen billion dollars worth of imports from china potentially cutting off another food source this is a second round of tariffs in response to what the trumpet administration calls beijing's unfair trade practices will china reacted swiftly with its own high tariffs on over three hundred american products as the trade war vicious circle continues its dangerous downward spiral. new negotiations couldn't prevent the

latest turn of the screw so far the u.s. and china have each imposed import duties on goods worth around fifty billion u.s. dollars now american companies in china are getting an easy all to mid issue that our companies think about is the uncertainty that the conflict brings uncertainty isn't good for business it limits your ability to invest in new developments in our country it impacts your ability to hire new staff u.s. president trump is not just attacking the trade deficit with china he's also fired shots of beijing's industrial policies accusing the chinese government of paying high subsidies to companies in the tech sector like robotics and out official intelligence the sectors hit by tariffs are starting to hurt on both sides like at this market in beijing many have stopped ordering agricultural products from the u.s. because they've become too expensive the new g.d.s. also affect items like turbines and chemicals china's retaliation targets included

raw materials like coal and gas in china two engines of the of the world economy if you for if this trade war leads to. slow down or shut down i mean that could be disaster to the world despite strong resistance from within his own country trump is already threatening new sanctions on chinese goods worth two hundred billion u.s. dollars taking effect as early as next month. so we asked our correspondent on wall street. if the cheese on chinese imports would backfire and see u.s. consumers forcing the bill. yeah i think better of the opinion that many people have here right now i would like to see what the watchdog of the american economy basically is saying to that the federal reserve bank and they have been repeatedly warning of the negative impact on the american economy when it comes to these ongoing trade disputes and economists reckon that every one

hundred billion dollars worth of imports that are being hit by tariffs could hurt global trade by half a percent in decline and i think that is some is something that everyone is really worried about here at the moment because we are at one billion dollars right now by the way fifty fifty from both sides and the next around the two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese imports that are being targeted by new sanctions from the americans they could hit consumers really hard and the consumers are still very important in engine for growth here off the economy so this would probably make everything even worse. british airways and air france will no longer be flying to iran saying they concerned about profitability in ousmane comes off the united states impose fresh sanctions on the country the airlines are the latest in a string of european companies pulling out of iran out this include college giants

dima and persia the departure of those companies of course reducing demand for flying. stopping flights to iran. for the twenty two hour session of talks low cost airline ryanair has reached an agreement with the trade union representing irish pilots there for the details of the deal tonight at this stage for europe second largest airline has been negotiating with pilots and cabin crew in several countries they have a working conditions and pay since last year the biggest one day strike two weeks ago caused travel chaos that many at whose affecting fifty five thousand passengers in one day and night and maybe uses the model for agreements in other countries. and is that brant i want to thank you very much we're going to malta now the trial of the captain of a german aid ship that rescued more than two hundred thirty minute rigs in the mediterranean that trial resumed today only to be postponed for three weeks due to

procedural reasons or back in june multis authorities a well the ship to dock but then impounded it and charged its captain klaus pita. with failing to properly register the vessel russian says that he's done nothing wrong he w. met up with him at his home in southern germany klaus paint a highish had a comfortable life in bavaria he has a nice house and runs a successful small business but did not want to be complacent so he became a captain aboard a search and rescue ship in the mediterranean and that is now why he is facing legal proceedings in malta. of course this is an unpleasant situation but i go to court with my head held high i have to say we didn't do anything wrong on the contrary we saved people's lives and i gladly take responsibility for this. at the end of june and his crew aboard the ship lifeline rescued more than two

hundred thirty refugees after that their own odyssey began the lifeline it was not allowed to dock anywhere and instead had to sail aimlessly for days it ended up in malta where the ship was impounded it was taken in for questioning by police the accusation the vessels papers were not in order to throw in there i think it's very strange that we're not talking about saving people's lives right now but instead about the boat's registration which is supposedly not valid this would mean we could not sail under the dutch flag even though it very clearly states this on the certificate flag dutch home port amsterdam. at home in bavaria klaus peter uses his time between court appearances to keep in touch with his network of supporters. a lawyer you akim fella is providing legal advice. some are cannot comprehend that rescuers are being treated

like criminals. this stuff that has a lawyer i thought well this case is very unusual a person who was rescued people at sea has been detained. for very dubious reasons in my view smith's. body shining. lives in an affluent town in one of germany's wealthiest regions the refugee dramas of the mediterranean seem far away although klaus gets a lot of sympathy here for his work he sometimes has difficult conversations. here and this is what i experienced at an ice cream parlor a man made me ask him if he favored letting people drown and then he said yes if he were the captain he would simply run over people in the city. you can't reason with someone like that. before his next court appearance.

is working on a mini bus that was donated for his team in montana the activists are now collecting donations for a new ship they do not want to wait until authorities release the lifeline together with captain advice and they want to head back to sea as soon as possible in order to save more people from drowning. but here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world protesters have marched in downtown nairobi kenya to demand the release of an opposition lawmaker in neighboring uganda protesters put out the call to free bobby moore on a pop star turned lawmaker who opposes the long time ugandan president one was charged with treason in a civilian court on thursday australia is embroiled in a leadership crisis that could topple prime minister and turn he has promised to quit if enough members of his party vote for

soccer season kicks off in less than twenty four hours in the opening match defending champions byron wien it will take on hoffenheim germany's embarrassing early exit from the world cup and concerns over the competitiveness of the bundesliga have left fans wondering if german soccer is in crisis but the players they seem ready to prove the doubters wrong. the new bundesliga season is upon us ready to treat fans to another glut of the motions. germany's shocking world cup campaign however is still fresh in focus as well as the poor performance of bundesliga clubs in europe paying competition last term internationally german football is going through a blake period only by mid it could start out they made the semifinals of the champions league last season and have marched to six consecutive bundesliga titles with little competition under new coach nico because that's the champions expect their writing to continue. and it's six months. by now six times

champions in a row who want to make sure that we have champions again for a seventh time but we also know that the others will not make it easy. to try everything to take the crown office gotten clients dominance is dangerous the title race can only be competitive if other clubs boost their spending but you do the fifty plus one rule investors can completely take over the bundesliga clubs massive transfer fees paid by sides in england spain or by french heavyweights paris such a man simply cannot be matched gotten to spend seventy three million euro zone new players the most out of any bundesliga club after a turbulent twelve months there is hope of the revival is known as a. situation where a lot of questions have to be asked. but i'm a long way from saying that everything was bad. but of course we know that we have to raise our performances so that we can once again treat our fans to proper
