iowa you are of course and the for the democrats. and what we saw in and this memo and the extract of what happened in and that the phone call. and the democrats for the democrats this is a memo is s simply confirmed what we've been hearing at throughout the last eight days and perhaps last week. at that donald trump did indeed and pressure and the leader of ukraine to investigate and one of his potential rivals for the twenty twenty election at joe a blind in and the name of joe biden is mentioned twice. in at the memo releaseded o'brien at the white house as so for and the democrats this is a smoking gun as it was a bit worn a cold it. a for the republicans though they've been pretty much and downplaying it just like a donald trump. because long term had already confirmed that he didn't need to talk about joe biden at two of living here is the lynskey. aboard for the republicans what's important is that they say that in this memo

there is no proof of a quid pro quo and there is no element. as to whether a donald trump a hindu or a said that he would withthhold military aid directed toward ukraine if the ukrainian president. at did not fulfill at his request to investigate it drove by it there is a lot though and that it could end up buying some. pro go away. he is talking about military aid in corporation with the americans at the next line by donald trump says what we would like. to ask you for a favor dressed after that and some were seen in this as well you're asking for more cooperation i have something. to add you in return and that's where the debate might go. okay i w was gonna ask yoyou know where do we go to a from here with regard specifically to the whole sort

of. impeachment procecess i mean talk us s through that via. well the first a big end date in and the upcoming indies is actually. at this as a thursday because at joseph i'm acquired the director of national intelligence the man. who refused to release and be a whistle blower complaint to a congress he is set. at the testifying in congress more in front of the house. end of the senate intelligence and community committees. as of this is going to be a big moment we'll see if he gives any m more information and- if this was a war complaint. is of eventually it released that's going to be. as something that the democrats are going to be a looking out a closely and then. will continue with the investigations because remember this the official at impeachment inquire we is and now taking over all the other. investigations all the six committees in congress are now under the umbrella off men impeachment enquiring. and they will focus all of their investigation this is going to take. a lot of time and i was at the house and looks in. to

all of those investitigations to find all the facts or information and then determine officially went there and there we- go north. and foreign peach made or not and on. what grounds there could be arguments for each. well thank you very much indeed for that. update from new york from washington rather thank you very much the kind of on a gorgeous study. now yesterday was the turn of the us president donald trump to address the u. n. at general assembly in new york today it was the tone of his arch foe the iranian president hassan rouhani. will in response to president trump's threat to step up sanctions against iran. president rouhanini accccused te u. s. overnight quote muscle is economic terrorism said that his country would not take part in nyc nuclear negotiatitions as long as sanctions remain in place. here's what he had to say. mon on behalf of my nation. and state. islam i would like toto announce. that our response to any negotiation

under sanctions. is nemo negative. dole out the government on and your people of iran have remains that fast against t the harshest s sanctis in the past one and a half years. and will never negotiate with an animal. that seek. to make iran surrender with the weapon. pressure all dolled when out and sanctions. hi stop the sanctions of corny. so as to open the way for the start of negotiations. the iranian president speaking that now it's been a tumultuous few dayss in the united kingdom where the clock is ticking ahead of brexit which is due to take effect just five weeks from now well prime minister boris johnson has been facing parliament today off the supreme court ruled that he had. on lawfully shut it down or parliament will now sit is normal and johnson's government is hoping that it's going to strike an exit deal with brussels sometime in mid october at a summit in brussels

let's listen to a clip of what boris johnson told. that heated session of parliament. not just these all of. he is refusing to do that all the priorities of the people it's not just unable to move forward. mister speaker i do she is selfishness and political. british prime ministerer boris johohnson spepg a short while ago from all we can speak not a tom brooks who is dean and chair in law and government at durham university in the uk i'm thank you very much due to speak just i mean some pretty extraordinary it seems that in the house of commons that just a short while ago one of things that boris johnson said. but i want to pick up on he said that the supreme court's decision to disallow the suspension apartment was wrong now is it

really the prime minister's place that to be saying that. absolutely nuts yeah put aside the question that he is never. studied law or qualifications in it and so on and so forth that the top courts in the land has his rule that remember boris johnson is someone and arguing the brexit case and arguing for his vote leave side. part of their argument of taking back control was taking back control of a judicial decisions away from being able to appeal to europe the european court of justice and have the supreme court be the final arbiter of british law. now he- maybe weeksks beforore s hoping. to crash out with the no deal do or die pledge the court does something h he really doesn't like and now he's well he's he's putting them to the side. he thinks he knows better than they do i think it's really not his place to do that

i think it's quite dangerous that he's done that. ends in his cabinet the lord chancellor rubber buckland is under as an oath. to uphold the rule of law the independence just sherry and should be put in the prime minister in his place. for such comments it's really quite quite frankly disgraceful. just straying away slightly from the some of the legal side of things i know your something of a bricks but as the as that cold you your- i think is the topic of conversation that okay because we most of you'll- you'll working and stay at the moment. there. was a- toll it's made by boris diaw in that too. the opposite. for me. r regardig a motion of confidence what what's personal thing out here. will force is playing at a few things here so what he's saying how somehow the fact that brexit hasn't happened just somehow the because of opposition parties opposition mps well of course is the government not a position in peace that are to try to get a

deal and bore some self h hasn't is voted against the only deal. that's on the table so i think it's a bit a gratuitous at and misleading that he says that but the other thing that is pointing to is that this vote of no confidence which she's been kind of taking on and this is kind of his other strategy. see if there was a vote of no confidence in him right now and there's every reason to think a lot of people would like to vote no confidence in him so is the opposition parties the problem then is. prime ministers the what you then sets date for the election. and the election would have to be over five weeks so what that means well if you go for five weeks or so now that means that we also with that parliament is dissolved so everyone so effectively broking by other other means of parliament it wouldn't be sitting wouldn't be scrutinizing a government and so on. and so it would make possible new deal through

defaults over the thirty first october because parliament wouldn't be there to do anything for all of october and that's what's stops a lot. of memembers of parliament from sabrina comp thahat's righ. so the person i've ever so that's no deal is off the table for now anyway and then have that no confidence which they expected it to me when. i and have a general election and we'll see what the public. makes that each side then but that's the reasoning behind it they love to. the ups it would look to throw the promise that i just got back from brighton very keen to do it. but they do want but the main focus is stopping n no deal. okay now i mean. one of the other things i've been hearing a bit since i lost. twenty four hours is a thirty six hours of these calls for. boris johnsns to resign the coming from pretty predictable. directions you know opposition parties. is not gathering any momentum or is that just is that just hold

anything. well i think it does have a lot of momentum and i think it's in a week it does goo above beyond politics. you know that the prime minister's broken the law. hey that's at the broken the law you know. he's broken the constitution and has just broken the constitution he got the queen to do something unlawful. on on his request i mean it's really extraordinary stuff. in in any other ordinary time if but a mere senior mininister had brokn the law or indeed had suggestions of breaking the law. but that might be a resignation matter but if the prime minister has been found unanimously. by the supreme court he seems to want to disregard it is some type of a political thing of course the- just as the supreme courts are are independent non political appointees they're not members. of any party the nachos and by the politicians. it's really really extraordinary and i think that this this this this

argument but the prime minister. thinks himself above the law. at the rest of us need to i live by i think that's gaining traction. i was speaking to o a lot of people this morning and yesterday after decision. both people who are involved in westminster politics but also p people mystery in restaurants taxis a bus station. and it's been a common thing people been really quite hacked off. at the prime minister violating the rule of law that's the thing that is. really kind of cut across and whatever people think of brexit sore we're staying in european union. the idea the prime minister would break the law and have no consequences for that that some out he thinks it's okay. so that has not been going down very well on the street. okay just over before we. leave you just one long story. the pieces you've

written in and you said there are fifty three thousand pieces of regulation that need to be sort of waded through. in order for brexit to happen that we've been hearing today that. michael goes he's in charge of. making sure the brakes it does happen he's been tossed with the sort of the brakes at portfolio by the prime minister. but he's been making progress with brussels at he's been making. some sort of steps forward i'm does that sound. like she does that ring true to think. doesn't ring true at all in your opinion leaders were saying that's until. a few days ago i suppose that boris johnson and team. hadn't i hadn't made any visits and he certainly hadn't proposed anything new. up to see what they're going to do just the city thousand plus regulations. if britain w were to i have the withdrawal agreement agreed in one form or another the whole of the bit that britain would effectively be like we were in the european union. except that instead of by the end of that transition period so the european court. being the follower richard b. u. k. supreme court which boris johnson doesn't seem to like anymore i don't think he's made any progress whatsoever. on

these regulations and they certainly haven't done things like a higher single person to do. any of the rules and jobs that would be done. by the u. r. regulators seven britain will need its own pharmaceutical regulator to kind of replaced minnick parallel. a shadow nearer out with the european union has been doing and like why send in virtually. every industry nothing's happened to him and they directed all of their money. new tens of millions of itit t towards an informationn campaign instead of hiring anyone said. they had a new draft laws and the improved parliament what are the things that it would have done it. if he was allowed to get away with it it would have killed off the government. there was the need. to have. channel thank you very

much we let you go tom brooks dean and chair of law and government at durham university thank you very much indeed. in other news following on from last week's deadlocked election in israel the country's president has toss the incumbent prime minister benjamin netanyahu with trying to form a new government. that's despite the fact that the centrist policy. of his challenger benny gantz one thirty three seats compared to the thirty two seats one by netanyahu's right wing likud party. however neither candidate had a tent majority will netanyahu off to thirteen years in office is the longest serving prime minister. now has twenty eight days to form a government if he fails to do so. the president can pass that task to someone else his what prime minister netanyahu had to say. in france and germany have set in and- a simple i will do the almost with the monday team gave me. if i don't succeed to overturn the mandate to you and

with the help of called israel's citizens and yourself mister president we will establish a broad national unity government down the line. but i'm sure. benjamin netanyahu speakingg now little earlier i spoke to france it was it was not clear in jerusalem and i started by asking why it was that benjamin netatanyahu had been tossed with forming a g governmen when his rival. any chance one more seats. it is confusing even for some israelis is an added layer which is endorsements and- anany chance sorry benjamin netetanyau has one more endorsements. vendredi goss's poppy so the president said he took that into consideration he also took into consideration the nature ofof the endorsesements. the arb parties due b back any gunss in the b blue and whihite party. he said t that they want to talk with him in government by support team to formrm the gogovernment. t to ask prime minister netanyahu that's important to ththem but i want o tweak it. so he says the

presidenent sayss that he thinks in the end benjamin netananyahu willll have a betteter shot.t. e did say bcccc twice the people f israelel do not w wt food elections you were patient and he posed. and reading betweenen the lines i'm wondering if perhaps he didn't think but if you guysys have been against the first crackck and he files. and ththen he got a benjamin netanyahu the s second guy. a ad he filed withh a venengeance man this money i wouldn't thehejust call the thihird election like e did last time and have seen trying to hit t that offerhe pulse. and interestingly benjamin netetanyahu did s say e did give me your shorts. that he wouldld give a mandate back. to the president if he failsls o form a governmenent. okay so let's s assume let's just imagie a scenario in which benjamin netanyahu cannot form a govevernment what whatat happeps

nextxt. then h he has to hand amanda if he doesn't call a snsnap election t then he has to hahand the mdatete back to ththe prpresident anand the e presides to n nominate someone els logicc would tell you that it wouldd be bannnning guns. however he did size not the president's buddies d did say tonight i coud give it to any out any numberr of people that i would seek peace and i think you that was a warning to benny gantz that he wants a serious negotiation. because the president is nine to support a unity government he thinks that the only way forward with this deadlockeked election election results it's the only way the- if the stability so that's what he is barking poor and i think that's why he said. to many guns o on mangleled give i ito your although g. would tell you that hit the betting odds would be the natural persoson. to have a second shot if benjamin netanyahu files. posibles errores marking reporting from jerusalem. after several hours of talks in monaco between scientists and government representatives so you end up back panel of experts issued a report on iran which examines
