how do we do security cooperation? u.s. origin equipment and training is being used in ways that are more destabilizing to the region. that is the core of the debate that we have to move forward. some of it can be addressed if we were to institutionalize this broader notion of tying what we are doing and security cooperation to a strategic affect. secondly, how does building partnership capacity in the short-term tied to this long-term strategic goals of the united states? this is where issues come up every single day in how congress is conducting oversight of these programs. training,e, is our the people that we've trained, or the equipment we've sold and transferred being used to violate human rights? to suppress internal repression -- or civiliety society? is it skewing the balance of power away from civilians and civilian led institutions in certain countries? how do you evaluate the effectiveness of these issues? a great example is in use monitoring. we are not in yemen so we don't know how our equipment is being used.

security cooperation is not just about arms sales. security cooperation is much more than arms sales, it has to do with institutional capacity building and all of a sudden theresponsibility rests with staffers which is never done before . so is this going to be a learning curve, a steep one? absolutely. this is not going to happen overnight buti am of the view is not going to be popular with my friends at the sda, this is not the place to do it . the sda is not a place to take on the mantle but with all the staff they brought over from the institute based in monterey, they brought in some people. this is not the place for it. i don't know what is but certainly another civilian office whether it's in the pentagon or state department, enclosing and this may not talk about congress but i cannot leave without a brief comment about congress because they play such a leadership role in at least coming up with it. that's step one but what i want to say about congress is just like other senior leadership in the executive branch, you have to in

with -- cooperation is a main channel and supplemented by cooperation. we need to build an open world economy and help developing countries better integrate into the global industrial and value chains. the u.n. member states should complementarity between the 2030 agenda for sustainable development. in an effort to perceive high quality development. china's belt and road initiative aims to achieve development that is open, green and clean as well as high standard, sustainable and people centered. the briri initiative highly compatible with the 2030 agenda has become a road to cooperation, health and prosperity. real benefits to people the world over, we hope that other countries will see the development opportunities created by the bri to add fresh impetus to the 2030 agenda. addressing climate change is a utting concern and c emissions calls for considerable global efforts. the u.n. libel action -- climate action summit has achieved positive outcomes. china as a leader of the nature-based solution has played its role to make this possible. china believe

it's that we're not cooperating at all.n't voted a -- a full impeachment inquiry -- the letter very carefully does not say they will cooperate if there is such a vote. so, i mean, this seems to me an act of complete defines to the house of representatives. and the majority in the house is going to have to decide, are they fighting in court, which could take months or simply add this as another article of impeachment. >> governor, in the letter the white house claims the president's claims the due process rights are circumvented and he has no choice but to not cooperate. do you buy that taufl. >> anderson, trump started all this with this outrageous call. this terrible call. and think about this for a second. we know for sure that he was pressuring the leader of another nation, in fact one that was weak and beleaguered to start an investigation. we know that. there is no question about that. so all started with donald trump. now, today, we were supposed to hear from this ambassador sondland who had a series of text messages

they're not cooperating. the letter, the quote is president trump and his administration cannot participate in your partisan and unconstitutional inquiry under these circumstances and i want to be clear as kaitlan pointed out, they don't say whether the house goes ahead and votes for a formal inquiry that they would cooperate then either and it is pretty clear that they would not. is this a constitutional crisis? what do you do next? they just said they're not cooperating. what are you going to do? >> it's absolutely clear that non-cooperation can itself be a charge against them in an impeachment process. it's obstruction of a constitutional process, and it's not necessarily going to stop us from getting the facts because again, we already know many of the facts. the president has admitted that he did what he did which is the vast majority of the american people consider to be highly inappropriate. so, you know, we'll continue to talk to people and by the way, the president can't order people at the state dep

our cooperation of course we have certain political cooperation between our countries who have certain political cooperation between our countries who are the they dissolve this could be arranged from hungary inside the. beta's solve this cooperation from hungary inside there's a simple geographical fact that. can change is a simple geographical fact that. can change the number of hits how us over the country is sars situated. the number of hits how us over the counter is sars situated. created them and for hungary it means that we are located in that triangle and for hungary it means that we are located in that triangle a raw should. we have been living for russia. we've been living for many years have this territory we're still living here in the hungary and for many years have this territory we're still leaving here in the hungary and. i mean holy sea is to make everyone interested in. see is to make everyone interested in hungary's success and most of all those countries who are in greece success and most of all those countries who are important to was. a graphical point of view. t

how do we disagree to cooperation? because you as origin equipment and training is being used in ways that are more destabilizing to the region and that is the core of the debate we have to move forward. some of it can be addressed if we were to institutionalize this broader notion of time what we doing as a security cooperation and tactical and operational level to a strategic effect. and secondly, how does building partnership capacity short-term tied to the long-term strategic goal of the united states? and this is what issues come up every single day and how congress is conducting oversight of these programs. for example, is our training, the people that we've trained or the equipment we've sold or transferred being used to violet human rights? to suppress in total repression or civil society? civil casualties, sipping protection issues? is it skewing the balance of power away from simply let institutions in certain countries? how do you evaluate the effectiveness of these issues and how transparent all those recip

reviews and so on, i've offered my cooperation. the american people need that. they need to have confidence in that and so does the president. because the right way to deal with this is not to send sort of quite frankly amateurs try to conduct an intelligence or law enforcement investigations, it is to refer it to the fbi. and let them do it. and let them work with the foreign government. that is what should be happening. >> stand by. we have so much more news ahead. we'll be back in just a moment. ) welcome to our busy world. where we all want more energy. but with less carbon footprint. that's why, at bp, we're working to make energy that's cleaner and better. we're producing cleaner-burning natural gas. and solar and wind power. and wherever your day takes you... we have advanced fuels for a better commute. and we're developing ultra-fast-charging technology for evs.. at bp, we see possibilities everywhere. so we can all keep advancing. no, just a sec. what would it look like if we listened more? could the right voice, the right

the white house is saying they will not cooperate, as you know.democrats going to do about it? >> we're going to move forward. and lindsey graham's clip in the clinton impeachment hearing is worth watching. he stood up and said in nixon's case one of the articles of impeachment was the it white house refusing to cooperate with congress and that was uncalled for, unconstitutional. so where is the outrage from people like lindsey graham today. the judiciary committee is going to move forward and as speaker pelosi has said the president is doing no favors by this kind of obstruction. >> what does it mean they're going to move forward? are there witnesses you're looking to hear from more than tb the subpoenas that have been issued? >> we're going to look at ambassadors involved and we're going to continue to ask who at the state department can knew but ultimately is going to the judiciary committee. nadler is going to draw up articles. and i expect the house before the end of the year will have a vote on impeachment. >> are you limiting the inquiry to

these documents set out principles of cooperation for all countries and organizations of the ueuro-atlantic region. they solemnly declare that no one should provide for their own security at the expense of another security. regrettably, the consensus reached back then at the highest level is again being substituted nato practices as it continues thinking in terms of searching for enemies while moving its military infrastructure towards russia and increasing its military budget, although they see the -- by 20 times.ssians recently, a number of high ranking european politicians has been speaking in favor of this, in particular demonstrated between the meetings of russia and france in august. the asia-pacific region needs a reliable architecture as well. it is dangerous to yield to the temptation of dividing it into conflicting blocs. such attempt will be at odds, with the tax of -- -- with to effectively address continuing threats and challenges including the task of resolving the whole range of issues on the korean peninsula by peaceful means. taken by the united states destroyed the imf tre

cooperation and close to the borders is very important we now have a fund for cross the border cooperation where we can talk about mobility programs for young people and have a concept for a future work all of these are very practical steps that we have taken since the beginning of the year and that show how much we have progress in the topic of climate protection and that touches all was one of our topic and we are going to work of are actively on the. the reading deal and germany we are committed to act. german and work on their. defense summits some historical projects have been initiated it is hard to imagine them all but when germany and france work together in tang's and airplanes and that can also create a lot of momentum like air bus after long negotiations we have agreed on. a ban on. our men. there are a lot of difference cultural difference i've been in germany and france and this topic and we have tried to. get a little bit of closer to each other of course the franco german government is not always easy why should it be easier then our cooperation inside of germany to wean fed

many from neighboring jurisdictions who failed to provide such cooperation. monmouth county, elected by their constituents to perform their duties in a matter -- to their desires had established a great relationship with ice. the state attorney general ixia knows what is better for those communities. i do not understand how an attorney general, the chief law enforcement officer for the state, tells other officers under his command to ignore the law. perhaps he made a few friends in the statehouse house and governor's office. he surely did nothing to put the citizens of new jersey -- he surely did nothing but put the citizens of new jersey at greater risk. we will adapt like we always do. we will persevere like we always do. by continuing to put our lives on the line to protect the public, this bike to best efforts of those who would like beste -- despite the efforts of those who would like to see no enforcement. innocent victims whose lives will be forever changed for the worse all across our country. we could have stopped it. 3000 are more than sheriffs in t

president has said that we are open to anyone who wants to cooperate in public private partnerships to exploit these valuable resources. this is the minister at the russian embassy he's with the areas that are of a security advisor to the african countries president so iraq has seen as a man with power behind the scenes who has helped train its army russians can now view that army on state television only a fraction of the trainers are officers from the russian army most of the rest reportedly work for a private russian security firm for the opposition here and that's unacceptable. don't. corporation was working with mercenaries in our constitution it is forbidden that's why we are against kind of 4 edition so what's behind russia's new solidarity with central africa how much is about mercenary services or weapons paid for with diamonds critics say russia is using private business to help secure national interests on the continent but most go says it's stop playing geopolitical games if you use african governments as partners. so what is at stake in russia push back into africa we have

this president has been -- in not cooperating. he hasn't allowed people to cooperate with subpoena.use. the judiciary chair has the power with the speaker to open impeachment inquiry. they have done that in the case of judges and numerous other instances and when it comes to actual impeachment we are going to have a vote. the speaker wants us to have that vote once we made the case. so then members can cast the vote after we had a chance to make the case to the public. >> one of the draw backs the reason the house is not holding a vote because it might open up the opportunity for republicans to have subpoena power. is that part of the calculation for anyone here? >> it really isn't. that is not the calculation. the calculation is the speaker wants members to go on the record once after a full case has been made. after we have collected whatever evidence we can. and i think that's very reasonable. members of congress will go opt. that's what the speaker is saying. we're not going to do prematurely and on the president's time line. especially when the house rules are very clear that t

>> the particular ed is not cooperating. secretary of state pompeo is refusing to allow certain people to testify. that's at the president's direction. the president can call up the secretary of state and say let them testify. many, many witnesses ranging from hirs personal lawyer, rudy giuliani to others that have wr requested, attorney general barr. you can do that and get away with it some. biden, schiff, whatever you want. at some point many people will want to know the truth and to know the truth you do need certain documents and certain witnesses. the attack on the whistle-blower, if i just say is particularly noxious. so far as we can tell this man or woman went through all appropriate procedures. inspector general said so and the direct of intelligence, a trump appointee set the whistle-blower acted appropriately. and met with chairmanen schiff to let him know there was a complaint bottled up nap w. a month after probably the actual complaint was submitted through channels. that attack is an example of trump's total

ation is that we established an internationally controlled securities in cooperation with turkey and russia. this in charities and would seek to resume the fight against terror and against isis which has currently come to a standstill meant to talk some will even though it would also ensure that we stabilize the region so that rebuilding civilian life is once again possible. and so that those who have fled can also return voluntarily in the of the fluked and. couldn't. this of we have to see to it that on the one hand turkey does not remain in northern syria. so that we see the invasion as a violation of international law so the current situation must not be extended the this remand on the other hand that the territory of syria remains intact as stated in the resolution passed by the united nations fastens would system and that the constitutional process currently getting underway is continued with officers minus in my view this requires a strong european initiative with this one we should discuss bilaterally with turkey and russia and germany should use its position in the united na

who would in my opinion there is also the question of how we want to shape further cooperation within the alliance. peculiarly regarding the issue of turkey as a nato partners and leave it to. turkey as an important nato partner despite all the criticisms that can be made. on this question of how to act united lee within the alliance is one that is on the political agenda. of the put it into the sooner we find a common solution and a common initiative for syria. so we can conduct with a base amongst our partners within nato. mission impossible in the happened before before the deal between the u.s. and turkey you have quite clearly demanded consequences if turkey occupied an area and northern syria what are the consequences that you ultimately demand or does that depend on this cooperation or does opinion one aquatics one. to tie this into a currently the situation is that turkish forces have crossed the border. now the debate is specifically about how things will develop in the area because i have always made it quite clear that i consider this advance to be contrary to international

we heard what the speaker said when she talked about words of optimism and cooperation. it was said we would work together to make america stronger, more secure and more prosperous. we were told our mission was to return the power to the people. in fact, our new colleagues on the other side of the aisle were sent to washington with a mandate to do just that. so what's happening? nothing like that today. not long ago, democrats recognized that a partisan impeachment would put poll toimbings people and harm our nation. that exact same speaker that talked about cooperation that talked about promised the american people that they would do different, they would be different if you justed -- if we trusted you with the majority. you have failed in that promise. that speaker said impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there's something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, the word bipartisan, i do not think we should go down that path because it divides the country. what has changed since those ords have been spoken? alexander hamilton wrote, there will

but he only said he would cooperate. he didn't actually go on to really cooperate with prosecutors. prosecutors would soon be back telling the court that manafort, despite this plea agreement, despite his cooperation pledge, he repeatedly lied to those prosecutors he was supposed to be cooperating with. he didn't give them any useful information they could use for other prosecutions or for the broader mueller inquiry. in fact, those prosecutors told the court that manafort used his supposed cooperation agreement to help other subjects of the inquiry who were possibly in prosecutors' cross hairs. specifically, they said he back channeled to the trump white house information about what mueller's investigators were asked. what they were looking for. what they were zeroing in on in their investigation that might be particularly relevant to the fate of president trump. because of manafort's duplicity and his lack of cooperation, he ended up getting lots of years in federal prison. we, the american public ended up getting no insight at all into the stuff that you might think prosecutors w

in that's not the key to controlling this would be international cooperation meaning we would need an internationally viable foundation as well and ideally with the un mandate within this $1.00 defined in the 2 on. the question of how germany. politically and more than anything what that means for our armed forces is a question that must be decided by the bluntest time as has been the case in previous mandate. the fight of our business take the operation in iraq against isis there we're conducting aerial surveillance and training missions. that is all according to decisions made by the german parliament in iraq. until now the german armed forces have always provided the resources demanded of them by the blandest hospitals who wish to. put us into and what are these resources specifically. if we make it clear that we are already engaged in the fight against isis but particularly in iraq. then we have 2 skills one of which is the ability to train which we are currently implementing in the region particularly in cooperation with the peshmerga with impish macca and our ability to carry ou

will you cooperate with those subpoenas? pres. trump: i always cooperate. this is the greatest hoax. this is a continuation of what is been playing out, john, since my election. we will find out soon, but probably before my election. this is a fraudulent crime on the american people, but we are working together. pelosi and all of them, we will see what happens to -- what happens. i had a great call with the president of ukraine. 100%. then schiff got up, the chairman , of the committee, made up a call that never took place. hard to believe nobody has seen this. and it had some sort of a mental breakdown. he went up to the microphone and read a statement from the president of the united states, as if i were on the call. what happened, if you look at the sheet, which was an exact transcript of my call, done by very talented people who do this, exact, word for word, he said "wow, he did not do anything wrong," so he made it up. he went up to a microphone, and in front of the american people, and in congress, he went out and he gave a whole presentation of word

refusing to cooperate with the impeachment inquiry.and that's absurd. how can it be the constitution gives the congress the right to impeachment. if you pursue it it's unconstitutional. second they say congress is denying the president the right to cross examine witnesses which means he can't confront the whistleblower the way he wants to. and make his case the to the american people. this is a political proceeding. there are protections in place if it goes to trial in the senate. if this were a criminal case, the president saying i want to sit in and hear a grand jury secret witness before the indictment has ever even been handed down. which would be absurd. i'll talk to the man who wrote the book on impeachment. and also congressman from house oversight. what the democrats going to do now. what are the options now that trump has declired war on the entire impeachment proceeding. >> i don't know -- i invoked your name earlier. i knew you would have the answer to the constitutional question. this is up constitutional. putting that in t

>> well, i always cooperate. >> he is not playing word games tonight. war and trump's counsel writes in this letter,

expected to discuss economic cooperation. and iran. of course following this closely throughout the day. well we can expect that. saudi arabia and russia is a remarkable example of how 2 countries could be great partners or friends and foes at the same time everything that gets itself involved in and the middle east be it about iran or syria gets full support from washington and you do realize that and all these cases russia is on the different side of the barricade. but when the russian leader in the saudi crown prince get along so well in person by the way they are the authors of probably the most famous high profile high 5 in the world the chances that the dialogue could work well always be very high. i have very good relations with the king and. we have been making good headway practically and. surely we do have to bear in mind that the 2 countries are the world's largest oil producers are their competitors you know in this case most likely opec. plus partners too so all kinds of oil and gas and issues related to the energy sector

military cooperation. and reaching an agreement in the area of security has prove more difficult than expected because, mainly because of diverging interests of the u.k. on one side and the e.u. so interestingly, security was an area where we would have expected an easier agreement. however, the development of the , as i said, has made reaching an agreement increasingly difficult. another major category of findings relates to the picture of europe. and when we talk about the future of europe, we need to talk about the future of the common security and defense policy. and here, our findings suggest that the, or highlight the role of policy entrepreneurs such as france and germany in making advancements for csvp, but still challenges are expected to continue in the future because, because of the difference in the strategic preferences of these two major policy entrepreneurs, but also e.u. 27. nonetheless, we can expect increased cooperation for lifting obstacles in the future for csvp. another aspect also in

will you cooperate with them subpoenas? >> president trump: i always cooperate. this is a hoax, the greatest hoax. it's a continuation of what's been playing out, john, for the last -- since my election i would say. probably will find out soon but probably even before my election. this is a fraudulent crime on the american people. we will work together with shifty schiff on pelosi and all of them and we'll see what happens because we did absolutely -- i had a great call with the president of ukraine. 100%. you have the transcript. and then schiff went up as the chairman of the committee and related a call they didn't take place. he made up that language. hard to believe. nobody's ever seen this. i think he had some kind of a mental breakdown. but he went up to the microphone and he read a statement from the president of the united states as if i were on the call, because what happened is when he looked at the sheet which was an exact transcript of my call done by very talented people that do this, exact, word for word. he said wow. he didn't do anything wrong. so

that strategy is to refuse to cooperate in any way. it's right there in black and white in the letter the white house sent to nancy pelosi and the chairs of the intel and the foreign affairs and the oversight committees. they sent it just tonight. the absurd -- and i mean absurd claim that the president has been left with no choice, okay? remember that. no choice, those two words. going on to refuse to participate in what they claim is a partisan and unconstitutional inquiry. no choice. no choice. really? the president of the united states claiming he has no choice but to stonewall and to obstruct in the face of lawful inquiries from congress. why does this president always see himself as a victim? he's the president of the united states, arguably the most powerful person on the planet. why does he always see himself as a victim? he has everything. is he really a victim? and he's putting that out there to people who have no reason to feel victimized. everybody is a victim. i'm a victim. no one forced him to make that call to the presid

>>> the white house will not cooperate with the house democrats' impeachment inquiry calling the investigation unconstitutional. >>> the turkish military gearing up for a planned military operation in syria. president trump in sifting the u.s. has not abandoned their allies in the region. >> we do not apologize for daryl exercising his freedom of expression. >> nba commissioner adam silver headed to china. >> i'm not a bad kid. i'm just someone who made a bad mistake. >> a young man sentenced to jail after he slept through jury duty. he's speaking out, getting a clean slate. >> we never sleep through "early start." i'm dave briggs. >> welcome in from the united states and around the world. i'm christine romans. >>> the white house declaring war against the house impeachment inquiry. pat sip loney sent a letter. he said it's unfair. he writes president trump and his administration cannot participate in your partisan and understand constitutional irinyoury under these circumstances. >> it came an hour before sondland was set to speak on capitol hill. all part of the west wing's emerging strategy

. >> but people are cooperating. >> reporter: in the state department. >> they're saying don't cooperate, and they're cooperating. >> reporter: they're not taking any action, at least effective action, to prevent state department officials from going before the committee and giving their view of the story. every time we talk about impeachment here, you're always corrected, they'll say "sham impeachment process." you say, will you be cooperating with this impeachment inquiry, it's always "sham impeachment." they're trying to brand it in that way. rudy giuliani specifically tweeted out tonight at this time he doesn't need a lawyer because he's not going to be cooperating with the house committee. so i don't know what that means to the other inquiry. i don't want to call it an investigation. we know that federal authorities are looking at whether or not he violating lobbying disclosure rules as it relates to his work in the ukraine. but the line across the administration, or at least across the white house, is that they will not be cooperating. the secretary of defense is on record saying t

who is ready to fully cooperate?>> with the lawmakers? >> no. today was exhibit a, the days before his twitter sort of tweetstorm talking about all of this doesn't look like he's a man who is going to divulge everything that the congressional committee is looking into in impeachment and to that phone call and doesn't look like he's ready to give up information and we could tell by what the state department is doing, mike pompeo saying that folks who want documents from the state department are bullying state department officials and he's going to be sort of the bodyguard in making -- sort of protect those people. so yeah, we've heard this from the president before. if you remember back to the mueller investigation, he would occasionally say oh, sure, i'll sit down but the lawyers don't want me to sit down. so i think this is probably what he's going to perhaps keep saying. that he's cooperate while also really tearing down schiff and the whistle-blower and tearing down democrats. >> bianna, the president said he resp

-china cooperation? >> just in order, on military alliances, it relates to the comment that i conveyed from the chinese scholar that china benefits when there's tension between our allies and tension between us and an ally, and as a result, will seek to drive wedges and fine those opportunities. a lot of times it's through their economic weight. a lot of times it's about, in the information space, there's quite a bit about the united states being an unreliable partner, a sort of capricious power who will be drawn back into the middle east and this interest in the region is fleeting. so they do it in a variety of ways. i think that's just part of the overall competitive environment and why it doesn't bother me as an assistant secretary that places a premium on our alliance relationships and providing that reassurance and explaining where the benefit is and continuing a strong alliance and keeping it moving forward. that's fine, that's a burden i carry with no hesitation. the military parade -- or the nati
