u.s. congress is not likely to let that pass i think the trump administration is going to need to do much more from the executive branch and if it doesn't then i think we're going to see relatively quickly the u.s. congress act in ways that are going to be more significant on capitol hill right now there are ongoing discussions about limiting arms sales to saudi arabia that support the conflict in yemen among other things and then also advancing bills that would limit broader u.s. support under the war powers act to support saudi arabia and the united arab emirates and others involved in the conflict in yemen so the trump administration needs to be seen as doing a nuff and if not given the signals we're seeing right now the u.s. congress may step in we will see you know what does up and listening to get your insights an analysis of the mood robot thanks so much for joining us from new york . the rest of the day's news is coming ahead here on the al-jazeera news hour including the u.s. beats up its border forces with another five thousand troops that's donald trump approaching refugees and

u.s. congress but at the same time now it is the next step of the congress by the request of the president to take further action whether it's the blocking of arms sales whether it is any sort of punitive measure in terms of sanctions the highest level of the saudi government that is unclear and may be on hold for some time given the

u.s. congress steve malzberg helps us sort out the winners and the losers all that ahead let's go. the leaders of india and russia have agreed to a five billion dollar arms sale that seems set to trigger u.s. sanctions earlier today prime minister narendra modi met with russian president vladimir putin in new delhi to formally close on a purchase of five s. four hundred aircraft missile systems mr putin was in delhi for the nineteenth annual india russia summit aside from the weapons sales he and mr modi signed eight bilateral agreements including one on a joint space mission india's dispense minister recently gave us counterpart notice .

u.s. congress the only problem is that well the congress seems to be ready and willing in a bipartisan nature on that the problem is we have a u.s. election a congressional elections taking place in less than two weeks and that is going to grind this process at the legislative level to almost a halt until after those november sixth elections so well the u.s. congress and we've seen many members including lindsey graham who's been very vocal on this saying that the u.s. congress is ready to act he in fact said as he tweeted right after the president spoke saying that is there is sort of a tough and appropriate response to this that is necessary to respond to this barbaric act the world is watching and the united states will send a clear message it may take some time in order to do that. pose he's been in turkey and is due back in the u.s. and to meet later today as you like to be bringing new intelligence. absolutely but it won't just be a hassle coming from turkey the cia chief it will also be other intelligence officials we know that have perhaps traveled with her there are also others the p

u.s. congress that already know how they feel about this and they want there to be some sort of punishment for a saudi arabia what types of sanctions or even possible make. well that was interesting that was a letter from a number of members of the house of representatives both republican and democrat and now they publicly backed another letter that had been sent by the senate the difference with that letter from members of the senate is that that has real legal standing it was invoked under the magnitsky act which calls on the president to decide within one hundred twenty days whether or not to impose sanction against bodies that are shown to be repudiating human rights in any part of the globe now the members of the house of representatives saying there that president trump should come to that decision as quick rather than later and that his investigation into who is accountable should be very speedy indeed so what you're seeing here is alignment a bipartisan alignment within both the senate and now in the house of representatives granting up the pressure on president trump insisting tha

u.s. congress approves the creation of a new agency to pump money into infrastructure projects in developing countries. it is a move. initiative. here in the news team here. well the thursday store a string of accusations by a number of western countries and international organizations made against russian military personnel russia's g.r.u. military intelligence service was implicated in a host of cyber attacks including attempts to hack the international chemical weapons watchdog and breaking down the details for us artie's daniel hawkins. election interference troll factories this information man hacking we've heard most of it before but the latest charge sheet against russia is all encompassing and endless there were hundreds of victims targeted by these russian criminals if they flours international law in this way russia's indiscriminate campaign of cyber attacks the violations of several u.s. criminal laws they will be exposed russia must stop reckless and irresponsible behavior. this directors of behavior the russian government needs to know they want to fully condemn this it will be

u.s. congress have signed a letter to the secretary of state demanding he were tracked the u.s. decision to cut funding to the u.n. agency for palestinian refugees they say the move taken by the trump administration in august threatens to destabilize the region now since the funding was cut the agency has entered a period of crisis protesters have been surrounding the u.n. cars carrying its personnel angry that they're no longer receiving help. the agency to pull some of its staff over fears of safety we discussed the situation with the head of the un refugee agency in gaza. there was. days ago when i was meeting with some colleagues in the hotel here in gaza city because i count meet in my office and when angry demonstrators came and tried to prevent us from leaving that place one car with colleagues got stuck and was surrounded by angry demonstrators for over an hour fortunately the situation was resolved peacefully that could have been a very nasty incident so fortunately so far no one has gotten hurt or directly attacked what is leading to this incident i think is the tactic

u.s. congress. that was in 1816. she was elected again in 1939 before world war ii. termsrved two different with years between them. in to, she came with a bit of fanfare. there was a honeymoon in which she was given a standing ovation. it was a very positive time for her. that ended, however, when she voted no four u.s. entry into world war i. this is a letter from anna garland spencer from pennsylvania. she talks about how difficult it must have been, being the first woman in congress. and being the first one to have to say no. it would have been better and easier if two or more women had been inaugurating elements of our sex then there would not have been an agreement between them. in the first mysterious boat. >> one of the places that jeanette rankin took the worst beatings was in the press. unfortunately, montana was loose -- largely owned and operated by the mining company and were very pro-war. a lot of newspapers in montana vilified her. there's an old saying it looks like your highest duty is to come instantly to investigate the conditions. this knowledge w

u.s. congress. sab introduced new legislation which could end arms sales and aid to saudi arabia earlier the saudi crown prince focused silence on the. case calling it a painful crime and saying justice will prevail. and insists all culprits will be punished and that he will work with turkey the press and self as widely suspected of ordering the journalist death although he denies all knowledge. they were at the show. first of all it's very painful to the saudis to all saudis it's painful to everyone in the world it's a brutal attack not accepted investigations are happening we work with the turkish government to reach results of the perpetrators will be brought to justice this is something that has to be taken by any government and undoubtedly the corporation between the turkish and saudi governments is good and we know a lot of people are trying to seize these painful situation to create a rift between turkey and saudi arabia and i want this place to send a message that you will never be able to d

u.s. congress approves the creation of a new agency to pump money into infrastructure projects in developing countries worth sixty billion dollars it's a move reportedly designed to challenge china's similar initiative. to prove this no such luxury what russia is in the dock they're almost certain high confidence from u.k. security services are enough to beat the drum for new sanctions and anyway the soviet. long gone the image of public enemy number one is long overdue for an overhaul and this is the perfect opportunity to consolidate the perfect storm i think this is a coordinated attack look this was got everything it's got it's got chemical weapons got election meddling it's got doping it's got every other thing you can think of that the russians are guilty of and i think this cloud of accusations is its own purpose normal rational people would say well why would they be saying these things unless they had some purpose in mind the purpose is to poison any possible rapprochement between washington especially and russia as donald trump said he wanted to do during the campaign to make sure

u.s. congress call for a view of american arms sales to saudi arabia in light of the. this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up. a major federal investigation is now underway suspected bombs are found in mail sent to several u.s. democratic leaders including hillary clinton and barack obama. it is an ongoing and in fact that. the u.n. is briefed about atrocities uncovered in the fact finding mission on me and mark. in the latest fallout over the murder of journalists members of the u.s. congress have introduced new legislation which could end arms sales and aid to saudi arabia the crown prince broke his silence over the murder calling it a painful crime and saying justice will prevail mohammed bin sandman says or culprits will be punished and that he'll work with turkey the prince him self is widely suspected of ordering the journalist death although he denies all knowledge . that was at the show but first of all it's very painful to pursue it to all saudis it is painful to everyone in the world it's a brutal attack not accepted investigations are happening we w

u.s. congress is in recess most of members of congress are campaigning either for themselves for reelection or campaigning on behalf of a colleague so what we might typically see knowing that the hospital the cia director has just been to turkey is that she may have been typically summoned by the house or senate intelligence committees to testify unlikely would be public likely private or closed door sessions because this is something that is often preceded congressional action we know that there is a push for members of congress to hold arms sales to question whether or not there should still be u.s. support for the saudi led effort the coalition in that conflict in yemen so these are the kinds of things that it would want to hear typically but none of that is happening because of those congressional elections that are expected to take place well are scheduled to take place on november sixth so what we have right now is a white house that is currently briefed are being briefed by the cia director and there is this push from congress for more but whether congress itself will independently a

u.s. congress so given the global condemnation given the bipartisan push for this administration to act it is very possible that in spite of the white house in dragging its heels that we could see congress taking action that would force donald trump to sign legislation that would not only limit arms sales but also would perhaps withdraw u.s. support for the saudi led conflict in yemen committee many thanks indeed on white house correspondent kelly how could live in washington will lead to is a meeting in brussels to discuss a variety of issues affecting member states but some of the talks are zeroing in on what happened to jamal khashoggi france's suspended political visits to saudi arabia and other e.u. leaders have also voiced their concerns soon as paul brennan is live for us now in brussels what is the sentiment then pull among e.u. leaders that. this summit here which follows on from the european council summit yesterday it's called a some summit and it brings together leaders from to cover essentially sixty percent of the world's population talking about politics the economy and the

u.s. congress why are so few women elected if the political system on. unlike more gender equal nations that have embraced contemporary voting systems the us still has winner takes all elections which give enormous power to incumbents who are primarily white candidates without personal support on the home front or career flexibility disproportionately women from running and let's not forget that it's only female politicians who must deal with sexism it's not just the campaign trail erratic work schedules low pay rates geographic distance and unfair leadership selection process these make serving a challenge for many women so how have countries like sweden and costa rica succeeded while for one thing they've embraced more modern and more democratic voting systems that make it easier for women and minorities to get elected they've also introduced family friendly hours to the legislative workplace and designated an equal number of leadership roles within their parliaments to women and they actively recruit women today for the countries of the world you see

u.s. congress have introduced new legislation which could end arm sales and aid to saudi arabia. crown prince mohammed bin said man i've spoken publicly for the first tile about the killing say same justice will prevail the prince himself is widely suspected of ordering the journalist death of though he denies all knowledge. would . have to show but first of all it's very painful to pursue it to yourself it is painful to everyone in the world it's a brutal attack not accepted investigations are happening we will work with the turkish government to reach results the perpetrators will be brought to justice this is something that has to be taken by any government and undoubtedly the cooperation between the turkish and saudi government is good and we know a lot of people are trying to seize this painful situation to create a rift between turkey and saudi arabia and i want this place to send a message that you will never be able to do that as long as you have a king called solid man in a. crown prince name mohammed in selman saudi arabia. and a turkish president named one of. the wash

u.s. congress in effect giving the u.s. president donald trump four months to start to do something about this. that is absolutely correct where we're seeing. civil society organizations indian ited states big business and even venture capital firms who had initially planned to participate in this conference are now all pulling out and we also know that instrumental for to saudi vision twenty thirty would be foreign investment so all of that could dry up if this crisis does not evolve and provide satisfactory answers we're also seeing that the president is under extreme pressure domestically both from republicans and from democrats to. face to come up with an answer as to what happened as of now the question the answer to the solution lies and and turkey we have seen some media reports in the media this morning that to deter allege that they have recordings audio recordings and video recordings of what took place so we can expect more drift drip leaks throughout the day and that will definitely impact how the president of t

u.s. congress have introduced new legislation which could end arm sales and aid to saudi arabia and says in response to the killing of the journalist in the saudi consulate in istanbul. saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin solomon has spoken publicly for the first time about social g.'s murder he described it as painful and said that justice will prevail the washington post is reporting that the head of the cia has heard already oh that captures the moment hershel she was killed. and u.s. president donald trump is condemning all political violence off the mail bombs and other suspicious packages were sent to democratic politicians and the offices of c.n.n. bill and hillary clinton barack obama and billionaire george soros are among those targeted. iraq's new prime minister has been sworn in at all he has been on the pressure to form a diverse government on them and has been voting on his proposed cabinet and then piece of agreed on more than a dozen ministers including the heads of the oil and finance departments under iraq's constitution shias so the kurds and other but r.c.s. must all

u.s. congress introduce new legislation which could end arm sales and aid to saudi arabia. crown prince mohammed bin man has spoken public for the first time about the killing of the saudi journalist. which he described as painful in riyadh the crown prince said justice will prevail the washington post is reporting that the head of the cia heard all the oh capturing the moment of murder. in the u.s. explosive devices and other suspicious packages were sent to top democratic politicians and offices of c.n.n. bill and hillary clinton and former president barack obama and billionaire george soros were among those targeted. a u.n. investigators say rahane joe muslims in myanmar are still facing genocide head of the united nations fact finding mission on myanmar told the u.n. security council that up to four hundred thousand ranger who remain in myanmar face severe restrictions and repression diplomatic editor james bass. i think it was the meeting they tried to stop russia china and bolivia voting to attempt to block a briefing by the un zone fact finding mission on myanmar chi

u.s. congress is the one that controls america's purse for its own kind of secure you build on that maybe for our audience than our international audience can believe the significance of of people in congress saying this because i think we focus so much on what the white house says and what donald trump says and we sort of hang on his words or his tweets i just want to really make sure everyone understands the value of what's coming from capitol hill. yeah very very quick civics lesson the bottom line is that the president is not an imperial president in the united states it was deliberately set up this way by the founding fathers in the u.s. constitution they are equal branches of government and i think that sometimes this gets lost especially with some of the strong headlines coming out of this white house but donald trump has no more power then all of the members together on capitol hill so that's why this matters and of course there could be executive orders that but the bottom line is there is a check and balance in place so when the u.s. senate when top republican senators who are co

u.s. congress why are so few women elected if the political system on. unlike more gender equal nations that have embraced contemporary voting systems the us still has winner takes all elections which give enormous power to incumbents who are primarily white and keep candidates without personal support on the home front or career flexibility disproportionately women from running and let's not forget that it's only female politicians who must deal with sexism it's not just the campaign trail erratic work schedule low pay rates geographic distance and unfair leadership selection process he makes serving a challenge for many women so how have countries like sweden and costa rica succeeded while for one thing they've embraced more modern and more democratic voting systems that make it easier for women and minorities to get elected they've also introduced family friendly hours to the legislative workplace and designated an equal number of leadership roles within their parliaments to women and they actively recruit women today for the countries of the world yo

u.s. congress when i was there. when i did my financial and you can google this, the front page of the "washington post" there are few men who have fewer assets that joe biden. when i left the u.s. congress wasr 44 years, my net worth between 55 thousand dollars and $100,000. i said i would never own a stock because of potential conflict. i agreed i would never re--- agree and take on [indiscernible] and i made mistake and sent three kids to college. itope some of you know it means if you go out and invest in 100,000 books, you have 200,000 annual cash in and, you have to pay capital gains. god forbid you get hit higher truck and live it to your -- leaving to your son or daughter. tax, ladies and it cost the government $17 billion a year. i can put every single solitary person qualified in community college cutting in half the cost of four years of college for $6 billion a year, which means i can pay for that with one loophole and decrease the deficit by $11 million. the reason i say that to you is we do not is noth

u.s. congress are now demanding sanctions. alone this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up more fallout from the disappearance government figures from the u.s. france on the netherlands join the list of withdrawals from a top conference. new pictures emerge of a bodyguard of the saudi crown prince seen in istanbul around the same time he disappeared. kills three senior officials as the taliban threat to disrupt election. donald trump for the first time publicly acknowledged that saudi journalism is likely to be dead the u.s. president said he's waiting for the investigation to be completed before deciding his next course of action meanwhile in istanbul turkish investigators have expanded this beyond. consulate and the consul general's own to two areas of countryside outside the city and details of an eleven minute audio recording from inside the building has been leaked to turkish media it reportedly suggests a soldier was attacked and killed inside the consulate or saudi crown prince mohammed bin sound man has denied a

u.s. congress has sixty days to approve the deal. all right let's take a deeper look at this agreement with our financial correspondent at the new york stock exchange has been following the developments very closely interested to see your let's cut to the chase is this truly a bottom line waiting for the u.s. economy or more of a political win for truck. at a press conference u.s. president donald trump directs me a name that i scream will be cheaper in canada it will be easier to export to other than for the dairy industry we really have to wait and see if we will see big changes what we hear quite a bit that it's a very good news for the car industry but if you look at the new quotas sold there are more components should be made with that in north america most car companies already fulfilled those quota so even if it wasn't set in stone before and anyhow what we do see is certain uncertainties are falling apart as a car companies for example cannot really be easier for them to do the planning for the future and that's also why we s

u.s. president says he believes the saudis did congress is turning up the heat on the white house to get tough on saudi arabia so what will this mean for u.s. saudi toys this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program on iran come on president donald trump has for the first time acknowledged jamal khashoggi may have been killed inside the saudi consulate in istanbul he's warned of severe consequences if the saudi leadership is involved the shift in tone comes following his secretary of state visits to riyadh and earlier this week the president is now on the mounting pressure to take action members of the house of representatives have sent him a letter calling for sanctions against saudi arabia we'll bring in our guests in a moment but first this report from mike hanna in washington. it was a somber president trump who for the first time publicly acknowledged the possibility that jamal khashoggi is dead it certainly looks that way to me it's very sad certainly much he says he still waiting for the results of various investigations but if this is. evidence there will be serious consequenc

u.s. congress is seeing it and the u.s. congress we have to remind our viewers is the one that holds the purse strings in the united states they're the ones that can block the arms deals they're the ones that can put in place sanctions at the highest level even if the white house through the treasury refuses to do that so there is a lot of pressure coming and we have to underscore this because we're two weeks out from a midterm election in a very divided nation but the one thing uniting members of congress is the issue of saudi arabia and the fact that there is a believe that this white house needs to issue a very strong response one that so far it has been dragging its heels to do kimberly thanks very much diplomatic it is it james bays joins us from the united nations james you just have to scratch the surface on any aspect of the story to work pretty quickly it's about so much more than just one meeting a grizzly and inside the consulate building. absolutely as ever in the middle east it's a battle for influence in a regi

u.s. congress has now pressed this white house into action it's put the president in a very uncomfortable position but at the same time the president does not like to be played a fool and there's this sense behind the scenes that that is the feeling that the president this you having as a result of this investment some relationship with the crown prince of saudi arabia the fact that there is still very little information being provided to this white house committee can use to analyze a slight element to this story for us mr she has a face to face with donald trump could potentially be a photograph an awkward moment because that could go either way this is the woman who waited for eleven hours outside the consulate building for her fiance who never turned up. it has all the potential to potentially go wrong and so the first lady's office where well jazeera has reached out to for information has so far not provided us with the details of when that meeting might take place whether or not cameras will be allowed it seems that there is an investment by this white house and by the first lady mi

u.s. congress talks with journalist william bradford hughley and author james hr cromwell about statehoodislation, hawaiian industries in tourism, organized labor, race relations, and communism. the interview is from across the scope, a news program that aired on cbs until 1955. it was recorded seven years before hawaii became the 50th state, in 1959. the televisionr journal of the important news of the hour, brought to you every monday, wednesday, and friday, longines.ntation of >> good evening. guest foroduce our this edition, mr. william bradford hughley, editor of the american rectory, and mr. james h r cromwell, former united states minister to canada. star distinct guest for this evening if the honorable joseph r carrington, delegate to congress from the territory of hawaii. mr. farrington, about 2 million americans traveled through hawaii during the second war and met most of our viewers tonight who hope to go to hawaii at some time. it's a great pleasure to have you with us tonight, sir. one word can you give our viewers who have been to hawaii, and those who want to go? how is bu

u.s. congress and between the business community and labor that, without canada, there was not a lot there really important to get canada in. it's also very important that the u.s. has access to canadian dairy markets in a way that we have not before. the digital economy and trade provisions seem to be very good. there are some clear wins here. to your point, i think it's really important that the name has changed. nafta itself was a symbol for many years of people's dislocation in the global economy. their discomfort, their fear about losing their jobs and the need perhaps to blame an outside force. to have nafta now off the table and replaced by the u.s. -- usmca with some new provisions, that gives us the opportunity for a fresh start. as superficial as that may seem, i think it is quite important in a political context. we will have to see how that plays out. >> we have president trump moving forward with this new trade deal with mexico and canada. we have a new agreement with south korea. they are talking with the eu. can we say that president trump's trade strategy is working? if tha

u.s. congress in calling for a whole to arms sales to saudi arabia if it is found responsible for the killing and also just in the last few minutes austria's foreign minister canceled a visit to saudi arabia later this month the government is calling for transparent information on the case right let's get right up to date with our teams on the ground there is kimberly help at the white house will be with her shortly we're starting of course with charles stratford outside the consulate in istanbul with the latest on the investigation charles. hi kemal yeah certainly we've been waiting for more than twenty four hours now for a turkish team we understand to enter the consul general rules premises seize home where there was a want to investigate a well in sight the guard and now we spoke to prosecutor general sources here who tell us that despite the pundits being given seemingly by by the saudis agreement from the saudi side that access was going to be granted for that city steve to go and have a look at that well certainly according to our souls in the prosecutor's office is saying that the sau

u.s. congress approves the creation of a new agency to pump money into infrastructure projects in developing countries worth sixty billion dollars it's a move reportedly designed to challenge china's similar initiative.

u.s. congress is not even in session right now when it comes back typically after an election day goes on to a series of breaks for the american thanksgiving for the holiday time in december so really the potential for there to be some sort of firm. strong congressional action may not even happen until january so while there is this push by the american public to act there is the white house now talking tough the reality is this may go to congress where it could be some weeks even months before we see further action do we have a sense in the run up to the big opinion poll the midterm elections november the sixth we have a sense of how donald trump is fairing at the moment when it comes to his popularity not these of the midterm elections but to do with how he's handling this massive political crisis. yeah there's certainly been distancing of congress from the white house in terms of its response and we're seeing that with american public opinion as well peter in terms of the president's overall handling of foreign policy it's gone up slightly but what it is the recent polling number looks
