>> this is al jazeera. this is the al jazeera newshour live frorom doha. coming up -- pres. trump: we have an invasion of drugs, gangs, people, it is unacceptable. n: president trump declaring a national emergency to get funds for the wall on his nash -- on his southern border. venezuelan president nicolas maduro.

protesters in haiti are defiant. walking into the unknown. world.tish fashion the u.s. president has declared a national emergency. and republicans have accused donald trump of a gross abuse of power. housemocratic-controlled committee is already investigating saying it raises issues. 2016ter: fulfilling a presidential campaign promise in a most unconventional way. pres. trump: i'm going to be signing a national emergency. reporter: after the u.s. congress refused this week to approve president trump's touest for $5.7 billion

build a wall along the southern border, trump declared a national emergency and now has access to $8 billion to build 376 kilometers of wall to stop illegal immigration even though the white house won't say exactly where. pres. trump: we want to stop drugs from coming into our country. we want to stop criminals and gangs from coming into our country. reporter: is democratic opponent in congress say the crisis is manufactured and motivated by racism. concern about this february 10 trump tweet. he argues a wall is needed to stop the influx of millions of latin americans into the united states, something trump says would be a disaster. opponents are vowing to overturn what they say is the president's power grab and defend congress's constitutional authority to

decide how taxpayer money is spent. but trump is pushing back, arguing other presidents have also made emergency declarations to achieve political goals, like george w. bush, who made similar declarations after the september 11 attack. trump is already anticipating legal challenges, but he expects to prevail. he points out that he did win his band on travelers entering the united states -- pres. trump: we will be sued, they will sue us in the ninth circuit even though it should be there, then we will get a bad ruling, another bad ruling, we will end up in the supreme court , then hopefully we'll get a fair shake and we will win in the supreme court. reporter: the challenges will be long and lengthy. with presidential campaigning

already underway, donald trump's attempt to keep a 2016 campaign promise has become a 2020 campaign issue as well. darren: john joins us live from washington, d.c. now that trump has declared an emergency, what is next and how is this likely to be challenged? john: first of all, the house judiciary committee, newly controlled by democrats, will be investigating this in addition to eight series of other investigations. that will raise public awareness in likely public hearings about what has been going on with this declaration of emergency. that could lead to legislation. they could specifically forbid the president from doing this. however, that would have to pass the senate and overcome a presidential veto. probably what they will go with in the end is lawsuits.

this will all happen simultaneously. a lawsuit filed by democrats. that's already a lawsuit has been threatened by the attorney general of the state of california. then there are outside groups that claim an interest here, all of them saying that this is not an emergency at the southern border. aat, in fact, it is about four-decade low of arrests for illegal crossings. the president himself just hours ago said he didn't have to do this but he wanted to speed up the process. it is within the purview of congress to control spending. that will be the main argument they make here. darren: how much political fallout is there likely to be from this, especially for republicans now and in the future? ofn: there are a lot republicans running for reelection in 2020. they just took a shellacking in 2018 and they will have to answer for this.

they have been pretty much in lockstep behind the president over the last few years. however, there have been recent crack's in which republicans have been critical of him. you heard kimberly in that story talk about how they are saying this can lead a future democratic president to declare whatever he or she pretty much wanted to be an emergency. climate control, gun violence. and, if things go badly for the trump administration in the future, they would be tied to the president unless they start speaking up. we will see if that happens as the house judiciary committee starts the investigation. anren: trump has described invasion of migrants, drugs, and violence flooding into the u.s. from mexico. illegal immigration across the border is at a 20 year low and a wall won't prevent migrants from crossing at the legal port of

entry to request asylum. ofa shows that 80% to 90% heroin and met -- heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine are trafficked through ports of entry. president trump also noted that thousands of lives would be lost if he didn't act. there is very little data linking crime to immigration. reporter: it was the longest government shut down in history, brought on by u.s. president donald trump in hopes of getting funding for a wall on the southern border. 800,000 federal workers went without pay. trash piled up at the national parks and important government work like giving farmers loans was not getting done. so president trump reopened the government saying he wanted to give congress time for a compromise. now that it looks like they won't give him his wall after all, he is making the unprecedented move of declaring an emergency, taking money

congress was earmarked to spend another things and diverting it for a wall. pres. trump: i have the absolute right to declare a national emergency. reporter: 58 times, presidents have declared a national emergency, but it is usually targeting specific countries, like south africa under apartheid or haiti with a flu. it has never been used to get around congress which, under the constitution, has the sole power to spend the government's money. democrats have hinted at a likely legal challenge. ofthere are thoughts constitutional scholars. reporter: having the courts decide could take years. chris wrote a book about this law and he says there is another way. >> in theory, members of

congress, if they believe this emergency, even some republicans are saying that, they would take a vote to reject that finding and repudiate the emergency. it would cancel out what the president has done. report -- pres. trump: we are building a wall on the southern border, which is absolutely necessary. reporter: this was a key campaign promise of the trump campaign. he promised mexico would pay for it. they are not. so now, he's taking this unprecedented move to try and make it happen. but it's far from certain that this will work or that his promised wall will ever be built. darren: we want to bring in julie, a political science professor who joins us live via skype from new york. the democrats have already said they will file legal challenges to trump's emergency declaration.

does that mean that trump won't get his wall money until this is sorted out by the courts? that could take months or years. not get his money until this is sorted out in the courts. what is not clear now is that the courts will accept that democrats -- that congressional have standing to sue. it may be that others have standing, the state attorney generals, for instance. others who live on the border could raise issues of eminent domain. courtsot clear who the will say has the standing to sue. he will not be able to use the money until this is sorted out in the courts. whether it is expedited or not, most legal scholars say this will take months or years, in part because we have never seen this happen before. for all the states of emergency that have been declared since the 1970's, it has never been done in this kind of situation

where congress has considered and rejected the request. it has been done in situations where there is a real emergency and the congress doesn't have time to consider the request. post-9/11, for instance. darren: let's talk about the national emergencies act that allows lawmakers to cancel trump's declaration of an emergency. is that likely to happen given that trump can veto? >> they may get the numbers they need if they get enough moderate republicans in the senate to go over with the democrats to pass the bill. as you mentioned, the president is likely to veto it. the are unlikely to have numbers to get an override of the veto. that is not likely something they will be able to do successfully. darren: many lawmakers and experts say trump's rationale is based on misleading claims.

but this is a promise he made to his supporters and he aims to deliver. >> he does aim to deliver. interestingly enough, and underreported is the fact that some supporters in his base are not happy with what he has done in terms of allowing the government to stay open. he talked at the press conference today about ann coulter. she is not happy that he allowed the government to stay open because she knows the reality, that this is going to be tied up in courts for months if not years. for her and some other people in the base, the president is trying to fulfill this promise in a way that is not going to deliver the wall, so they are not happy. it is interesting that the base is not uniformly happy with this declaration today. darren: what is the public sentiment about trump's declaration? do ordinary americans feel there is a security crisis on the border?

>> most people think there is not an emergency on the border. at the top, you are going through -- most of the illegal drugs come through ports of entry. people who look at the statistics know that there is not an emergency. today at his press conference, the president said he didn't need to do this, and that is fairly telling. i don't think people are surprised because they knew he was going to do this, but i don't think most americans think he will be successful. darren: in an interview with al jazeera, venezuela's president has accused the u.s. of trying to destabilize his country. thelas maduro says that calls to deliver aid is nothing but political theater and he won't accept it. maduro has criticized eu nations for supporting u.s. military and for -- military intervention. he says u.s. actions in iraq and libya achieved nothing but death

and destruction. translator: i think that some europeans made a mistake when they supported the american war in iraq. can you ask any of the coalition countries if it were necessary to intervene in iraq? i think they also made a mistake when they bombed libya and killed more than 100,000 civilians. i think they made mistakes in their destructive policy approach in syria and they are making more mistakes in venezuela. this has not happened and will not happen. any material that comes from outside the country is subject to certain conditions such as inspection. then there will be no problem. the theatrical presentation they were attempting on february 23 will not happen.

translator: after conducting a dialogue with the opposition in the dominican republic, we plan to hold the early presidential election in the first four months last year, after which the party with group -- withdrew and did not sign the agreement. these elections were undertaken according to the law and the constitution, and international and local observers. 10 million voters participated and 86% of the voters voted for me. therefore, the interim legislative elections were done and anything else is just an attempt to destabilize the country from the white house. darren: our latin american editor joins us live now from the venezuelan capital. what more do we know about reports that u.s. planes are said to have flown in from columbia brain aid supplies to venezuelans. : the state department has

confirmed that 200 tons is set to arrive on saturday. the city that is right on the border with venezuela, where more medicine has been collected over the last week or so. deliver said it would $20 million of emergency supplies into venezuela, but now they say that may increase to as by february million 23, which is the date they have set for trying to cross the supplies into venezuela, define president nicolas maduro's vows to stop it by any means necessary -- peacefully, he said. there is going to be a real showdown on the 23rd. it's not quite clear how this will play out. the hours are rolling and, in fact, the opposition leader issued yet another appeal to the armed forces that support president maduro, telling them

they have eight more days to decide whether or not to " support the constitution and people of venezuela or a dictatorship. darren: opposition leader juan guaido has made another appeal. how confident now is president maduro that he can stay in power? difficult to very answer because we really don't know what is happening behind the scenes. it depends very much on the state of the military, on whether they will remain loyal to him. entirelyo, it is unlikely will be stepping down anytime soon. you heard his interview. he sounds confident. but in politics, it is hard to tell, and the pressures on the military. the united states has been dangling a carrot and a stick to the high-ranking members of the army and the bowl of varying forces, as well as the security -- the bolivarian forces, as well as the security forces.

darren: thank you. lots more still to come on the newshour including, india warns a strong response after a deadly bomb blast in kashmir. a snap election for the end of april. sport, the former nfl quarterback to decide -- who decided not to have his day in court. turkey's president united states isn't putting its full weight into the investigation of the murder of jamal khashoggi. a new report suggests that khashoggi's remains may have been burned inside of a well. the journalist was killed and dismembered inside a saudi consulate in turkey.

reporter: once again under the spotlight. a recent report by colleagues said that journalist jamal khashoggi were burned in a well used for cooking purposes inside of the compound. images appeared to show khashoggi's remains being carried into the residence in bags and suitcases after being killed and dismembered at the consulate building just meters away. turkish prosecutors have not said much on the case but information and evidence has been leaked to the media in bits since the beginning. many wonder why it has not been revealed all at once. >> i think the danger of leaking information to the media is that it can lose its value as evidence. so, turkish authorities should share all of its evidence with international investigators when the u.n. has the authority to carry out that investigation in

addition to the investigation going on in turkey. reporter: turkish authorities have said the murder was ordered by senior saudi officials and accused the saudi embassy of not cooperating. the turks have said it is time for an international investigation. this was followed by the un's special rapporteur calling for a possible independent inquiry. her initial statement back the since then,tion but an audio recording of the killing has not been met. >> it can be counted as evidence only if obtained by court order. we don't know the source of the recording. is it turkish intelligence, the police, or some other country's intelligence? i believe the istanbul chief prosecutor will soon release and indictment.

reporter: months of now past in the khashoggi murder remains unsolved despite efforts of legal and crime experts. those seeking justice expect turkey to move the case forward. country'ss the judicial reputation. darren: antigovernment protests have broken out again in haiti. demoed -- protesters and said they won't stop until the president resigns. hasreporter: after a brief caln thursday, protesters once again took to the streets of port-au-prince, calling for the resignation of the haitian president. the crisis has put much of port-au-prince on a kind of lockdown. businesses are closed, schools are closed, people are having a

difficult time finding access to water and food. we found people protesting on the streets near the presidential palace, but we are also seeing parts of port-au-prince returning to eight sense of normalcy. vendors once again selling their products on the streets. there is still a lot of discontent left here in the city. people are not convinced by what the president said, that a solution to the economic problems that pray -- that plagued the country is on the way. the government was said to soon be giving a proposal to finding a solution to the ongoing crisis, but we haven't heard from the government as to what those next steps are likely to be. people are angry about government corruption, yes, but they are also angry about the systemic problems that continue to plague the country. haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere. coupled with a declining economy

, skyrocketing inflation, even when things are calm in the country, it is difficult for people. having no guarantee that things will improve in the daily lives of haitians, is not difficult to see what people are taking to the streets to protest. darren: a prime minister has called a general election. -- spain's prime minister has called a general election. on thursday, politicians who support independence for the region, are those -- are among those who voted against the budget. >> spain must continue to make progress. excluding politics from frustration. growing and creating quality employment. redistributing wealth. consolidating and recognizing not just the rights and liberties we gained in the last 40 years, but also expanding the perimeter of those rights and liberties.
