guess how it came to power almost thirty years ago in a coup ever since then has been an ally for the west in dealing with all kinds of islamist thugs in the area so his government's legitimacy deserves to be protected the former french colony is not a regime by any means to see our intervention was totally in line with international law and the prime minister has informed the president of the senate and the national assembly. a few more facts about mr dombey has just tweaked part of the constitution to be able to stay in power until twenty thirty three he's like in victories have been questioned by international observers he's even been accused of war crimes and his countries do when very bad when it comes to the economy chad is a very poor country and with or without petrol with or without the oil money it's going

to remain a very poor country and it needs it needs in many parts of the country it needs humanitarian help this is very bad now nutrition basic help that the country needs and what's needed i think is a really sustained fight against in particular against government action which is becoming very widespread and very very serious problem in the country in case you didn't know the french army however has a history of standing by president deby oh we have got french taxpayers' money he's going in. to defend chad's current president that was to go on the black list of thirty many human rights watch groups it's totally hypercritical on the behalf of michael how can you on one side support the rebels in venezuela and attack them in chad there's no logic chad is one of the poorest countries in the world so why is france intervening to defend such a region in. chatting to the people of chad was decide what what is their future

11:20 am
seem wrong but i. just don't all. get to shape out just to educate and in games from it because the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back to. don't know trump has confirmed he is announcing a national emergency on friday so bypass congress and get funding for a war on the border with mexico we're going to be signing today. and registering national emergency and
11:21 am
it's a great thing to do. because we have an invasion of drugs invasion of gangs invasion of people and it's not acceptable. life now to caleb maupin for more on this caleb welcome to the program so how significant is this national emergency. well viewers will recall that the united states just had its longest government shutdown in all of its history as congress refused to give funding to donald trump for his wall now in order to essentially prevent another shutdown because rather than risking trying to battle congress once again we see donald trump declaring a national state of emergency national emergency in order to secure funding for his border wall now this is essentially being done and there won't be another shutdown of congress and the president disagreeing about what to do about it now the response of the democrats and of many critics of donald trump has been to declare
11:22 am
this potentially to be a constitutional crisis we've heard some saying that donald trump himself is a national emergency and we actually heard nancy pelosi the speaker of the house the democratic leader in congress we heard her floating the idea that in the future a democratic president might be able to do the same thing around other issues this is nancy pelosi. you want to talk about a national emergency let's talk about today the one year anniversary of another manifestation of the epidemic of gun violence in america that's a national emergency why don't you declare that emergency mr president i wish you would but a democratic president can do that democratic committee president can declare emergencies as well and. now donald trump is invoking the national emergency act of one thousand nine hundred seventy six which is a law that has been frequently used by many different presidents to declare a national emergency is around many different issues for example bill clinton
11:23 am
declared six national emergencies george w. bush declared ten and barack obama declared eleven most of the time these national emergencies were declared in order to impose sanctions on a country and at this point there are thirty national emergencies that are still in effect and there have been a total of fifty that have been declared since one nine hundred seventy six when this long. it was created now donald trump said in his remarks that he fully expects this to be challenged in court he expects this to be appealed all the way up to the u.s. supreme court however he says that he feels it is absolutely necessary to do in order to deal with the problem of violence and criminal activity near the u.s. border so at this point you know we are expecting strong opposition from the democratic party democratic party leaders will no doubt be speaking up in opposition to it but donald trump spoke to the press spoke to the country and said that he is indeed taking this action to declare a national emergency in order to build his border wall which was
11:24 am
a central aspect of his presidential campaign the latest from our. don't trump has fired off an angry tweets over revelations there was high level talks to have him removed from office and if he quotes the views of harvard law professor emeritus alan dershowitz who happens to be the latest guest on artie's world part show the host of which chokes on the boy cave joined me earlier to discuss the interview this whole discussion was triggered by the latest revelations by a former f.b.i. deputy chief and to my cape who on the record admitted that the justice department officials indeed considered back in two thousand and seventeen invoking the twenty fifth amendment to remove donald trump from office now that amendment provides for a process of discharging a sitting president if he is mentally or physically incapacitated but according to
11:25 am
alan dershowitz this by no means applies to trump because he's physically fit he may disagree with his policies and a lot of people do but that is not the grounds for invoking this amendment and according to some people on the tram side that it was as close as the united states has ever come to an administrative who when a group of the active security officials get together and discuss removing democratically elected president from office was a terrible terrible abuse of the constitution because provides for impeachment that's a political legal remedy but the twenty fifth amendment was designed for people who had a stroke or president reagan when he was shot when you're incapacitated or unconscious when you're only able to read the president it provides a mechanism for replacing the president with a voice that was never intended to be used to rid the country of a president who people don't agree with may have committed obstruction of justice
11:26 am
your collaboration with russia but we know trump faces more pressure and. the ongoing miller investigation into alleged russian collusion so what did tissue it say about this he was very critical of the way the miller investigation is being carried out because remember almost two years into this probe we still don't have a single and dogman that relates to the original crime that it was supposed to investigate which is the collusion that's been the trump campaign and the russians we have a number of them died minutes based on this so-called process crimes when you arrest the person when you interrogate him when you sum to or her when he essentially set up a moral trap to see if he would lie to the prosecutors and then did a couple of people did but none of them was or has been charged with. being directly involved with the russians and one one interesting point that
11:27 am
dershowitz made makes is that even if administration officials had some contacts with the russians having a contact in and of itself is not enough to support the collusion charge well first of all even if there were between the trim campaign and some russians that would not be a crime it's not a crime to. it would be a crime only if members of the drum campaign or any campaign urge people in another country to commit a crime like hacking the e-mails of their opponents the democratic national committee but there's no evidence of that at all. and i suspect in the end what they'll find is there was some people in the campaign who had contacts with some people in russian intelligence perhaps some contact with wiki leaks and contact with others but they're not going to be able to make a case for the government of russia. being illegally we. presidential candidate donald trump we are running this interview in full this
11:28 am
coming sunday and i think it raises a number of very interesting points about the lengths to which some americans are willing to go to remove tron from office and what they're willing to sacrifice in the process of doing that which according to dershowitz is the constitution and the rule of law. neil harvey will have your latest global news at the top of the hour. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure most some who want to be us. have to try to be for us this is what it looks like three in the morning can't be good good i'm interested always in the waters in the college. for sydney.
11:29 am
there's incontrovertibly evidence that we're being visited in the cave frankly everyone in very high ranking classified projects knows this the public hasn't been told because they've been wanting to keep the secret for reasons of technology and the macroeconomic petrodollar system. known for you know. we can protect them and i'm with. you know i'm supposed to.
