And iran after washington accused her out of a talking to saudi Oil Facilities. Now the u. S. Justice department is being accused of playing a major role in reportedly withholding the whistleblowers complaint against President Trump according to u. S. Media that complaint relates to a phone call between trump and a foreign leader the head of the u. S. House Intelligence Committee says officials are blocked from passing it on to congress the president has called the reports news. The whole point of the whistle blower statute is not only to encourage those to report problems abuses violations it was but also to have a Legal Mechanism to do so and not to disclose classified information because theres no other remedy. That the whole purpose is being frustrated here because the director of National Intelligence has made the unprecedented decision not to share the complaint with Congress Trump has denied the accusations heres what hes tweeted another fake news story out there it never ends virtually any time i speak on the phone to a foreign leader i understand that maybe many people are listening from there is u. S. Agencies not to mention those from the other country itself no problem mike hanna has more now from washington d. C. The man who received the original complaint as Inspector General of the Intelligence Community he has now sent a series of letters to the house Intelligence Committee outlining the procedures he followed and the procedures that have not been followed he says he took 2 weeks to investigate the complaints and found them to be credible and importantly of an urgent nature he sent his report to the acting director of National Intelligence who legally has a week to consider the report before forwarding it to the Relevant Congressional Committee in this case the house Intelligence Committee but the director the acting director of National Intelligence went to the Justice Department who told him that legally he did not have to pass the information on now this of the intelligence oversight of the Intelligence Community making very clear he does not agree with this decision and in fact finds that the incorrect decision hes made this opinion public in that letter to the Congressional Committee this is given ammunition to that committee to take further action against the Justice Department in particular which it accuses of blocking information that legally the Congregational Committee should receive in the interests of protecting the president the Congressional Committee has now subpoenaed the acting director of intelligence to appear before it next week to explain why he did not follow constitutional and legal procedure and forward vetted complaint to the Relevant Committee in congress or to finkelstein is a professor of law at the university of Pennsylvania Law School she says this is a significant development. This is an enormous story possibly the biggest story of this presidency because 1st of all its arguably the 1st time that a whistle blower action has been filed against the president if indeed thats what this action is as we now are coming to understand. And there are extensive protections that are required by law for whistleblowers to enable them to bring Important Information of corruption to light so 2nd of all there would be as part of the story obstruction of justice potentially on the part of the white house actors in the white house or even the president because it appears as though there is potentially a coordinated effort going on to ensure that congress adam shifts committee in particular does not receive the copy of this complaints. And thats a very very serious matter for the president if indeed its or an out that he had anything to do with directing the office of National Intelligence not to produce these documents and directing the Attorney Generals Office to it so it vies the office of National Intelligence russia and china vetoed a u. N. Security Council Resolution demanding a truce and northwest syria a call from end to hostilities in the last rebel held province but a new deal between turkey and russia has been reached on a Demilitarized Zone so what are reports now from beirut. The revolution hasnt died in syrias north west these people were forced from their homes in the recent russian backed Syrian Government offensive that took control of the northern countryside of Hama Province and many towns in it lip south including country horn at least half a 1000000 syrians have been displaced since the end. Thank you no. We the people of hong kong we are not asking assad to allow us to return to our town we will never accept his role our revolution will continue until the downfall of this criminal regime its been relatively calm since the august 31 cease fire but many People Living in fear its only a matter of time before president Bashar Assads forces resume their military operation that has already killed more than 1000. 00 civilians the Syrian Opposition believes there is a deal to prevent the humanitarian crisis from worsening. There was an agreement between turkey and russia to create a Demilitarized Zone free of weapons and fighters on the International Terrorism list the zone will be patrolled by russia and turkey the syrian interim government will take over governance from high atop. Which will have to be disbanded. The situation and it was discussed this week between syrias power brokers who support opposing sides but Work Together under the socalled asked in a process turkey made clear its priority is to prevent a humanitarian crisis and a large influx of refugees into the country russia and iran focused on the fight against those they call terrorists but it seems they found middle ground there may be limited operations. By. The other side of the. Process and you know its. Off yes because theres pressure. But the people there are many syrians have taken to the streets demanding high at the lead a sham leaves they accuse the armed group of abusing power and failing to defend territory h. T. S. Is considered a terrorist organization by the International Community because of its links with al qaida. The reason why last years deal between turkey and russia on the creation of a Demilitarized Zone and it was never implemented it refused to cooperate forcing it to withdraw would have required mainstream opposition factions in gauging internal war that would have weakened their position vis a vis progovernment forces its not clear if h. T. S. Will cooperate this time or whether there is a time table to this apparent deal between turkey and russia but it seems that a large scale offensive has been put on hold for now and russian president Vladimir Putin is openly discussing limiting anti terror operations and it lip.

In britain a Supreme Court hearing on the legality of the Prime Ministers decision to suspend parliament ahead of the october 31st brags that deadline has ended a ruling is expected next week john hall has more now from. Boris johnson on maneuvers visiting soldiers promising more money for the military ahead of an election whenever it comes promising also progress on breaks it i dont want to exaggerate the progress that we are making but we are making progress and what we need to do so people understand we need to find a way whereby the u.

Johnsons plans may yet and ravel after a 3 day emergency hearing Supreme Court justices will soon rule on the more fulness of the governments prohibition of parliament on thursday they heard evidence delivered by council from one former conservative Prime Minister john major against the current conservative Prime Minister john says the inescapable inference to be drawn is that the preparation is for that not exercising its right to disagree with the government that legislate as it sees fit its an inference of the government says that is not for the courts to judge we should actually start by recognizing that the pro gay she was a proceeding in parliament which falls within the ambit of article 9 of the bill of rights and they dont have to get. The government will hope of course that the Supremes Court upholds the english high courts decision that the prorogue a sion of parliament was a purely political not legal matter but the court could just as easily side with scottish judges who ruled that under the circumstances they could get involved because they said of the real motive behind the suspension of part. A silencing of employees over breaks it was a decision that in effect meant Boris Johnson had lied to the queen. Away from the courts there are sometimes questionable efforts to reach a new brakes a deal the e. U. Hand demanded full written proposals from the u. K.

The number of u. S. Soldiers in somalia has increased under President Donald Trump one of their jobs involves training a local group to become an elite force to take on al shabaab fighters our correspondent mohammed the dough got a firsthand look at the socalled Lightning Force in training. These are the new frontlines in the fight against al shabaab in somalia. And these are the men taking the fight to the armed groups strongholds the United States has at least 500. 00 switches in this country but its trained and paid for somali troops to form the deneb unit or lightning falls. Apart from our operations against al shabaab fighters to retake tira trees and of a control we also target their assassins bomb builders and those who kidnapped foreigners in our country we also try to raise the spies in those who provide them with arms and other supplies of. Somali government Officials Say these elite forces comprised of soldiers from almost all of somalias colognes deneb units health killed some of those of ups in the early days and in areas that were taken from the Al Qaeda Linked group theyre winning the support of local people how they would out front in the money and things are much better than before in terms of security were not living in fear anymore the soldiers eclipse and were forever thankful to the government the den a brigade was launched as a 150. 00 plus and unit roughly 5 years ago but has since grown to become one of somalias most used military forces while u. S. Forces in somalia cut out al strikes and drone attacks against al shabaab fighters its these forces whove been carrying out the bulk of the ground assault against the Group Official say the plan is to develop done up into a full so free fall the soldiers capable of removing al shabab fighters from towns and villages across the country. The regular Somali National army is involved in the fighting to. We have achieved many victories we spent a lot of time preparing for the current offensive against al shabaab but it was worth the wait we have liberated many towns and villages in the past months. The Somali National army needs more recruits to bolster its wrongs these Training Camp in the small town of grinnell in central somalia is just one of a few across the country by next year to 2000 uptick and union peacekeepers expected to begin putting out of somalia and it will fall to these soldiers to take over the tusk of keeping security and fighting. Good al is central somalia severe flooding in cambodia has killed at least 11 people and decimated crops heavy rain has been falling in 14 provinces for the past 10 days villages have been flooded forcing thousands of people from their homes water levels are expected to keep rising in some areas. New research has found billions of birds are disappearing from north america the study published in the science journal shows while the avian populations in the u. S. And canada a foreign 29 percent since 1970 just have a 10000000000 to 7200000000 grassland birds have been hit particularly hard with more than a hof the population gone and it appears humans are to blame the study cites factors including widespread habitat loss due to urbanize ation and Climate Change as well as the use of insecticides well ive been panjabi in some of the bird conservancy of the rockies he says the loss of the species a far reaching effects on the why the ecosystem. More than half the birds that have been lost are associated with farmland and range land ecosystems these are the places we produce our food so. It goes to show that the trends in which we are producing our food meaning more intensive agriculture with heavier inputs of pesticides and herbicides in order to support large monocultures of single species crops may be one of the factors driving the decline well birds play a major roles in the eco systems both as consumers of prey and insects and as prey for other predators they also are pollinators and disperses of seeds. So their role in the ecosystem is essential to the stability of other populations of animals and plants so there could be far reaching cascading effects from the loss of bird abundance this study uses. Counts surveys of birds performed during the breeding season so this is the period of the year when the bird populations are most stable theyre tied to their breeding grounds at that point and so its the best time of year to count their populations we can have the most confidence in our counts now to stop his trying to boost its image and revive lost traditions the government is organizing the fast of a nomad games thousands of people are attending the event this week on the banks of lake shot of venice. This game started on the plains of central asia more than 500 years ago could cook political teams on horseback compete to drop a date goes into a cold well i think you can you know its a classic sport among nomads one of the most fiercely contested distance of the national knowing that games. The event was created to revive traditional sports and customs but its also a global branding exercise. The main goal is to promote friendship between regions and nations you know since the 1st nomad games it is our brand and is known around the world if it is nomad games it means coca start. Extends beyond competition into culture this man is reciting the epic of mammas famous poem about a strong man uniting all of kurdistan. Eagle hunters show off their birds the centuries Golden Eagles help nomad survive on the step this even you are making competitions in honor of the traditional homes in the region. Or you know my games are essential for his people the current generation doesnt know our history and traditions the lazy no mind game show them traditions games customs history culture and how our ancestors lived. This is the 1st National Games the kurdistan created the 1st global event in 2014 it is pitched as the no matter lympics but its held every 2 years in the last of a and 2000 athletes from 70 nations competed it was such a success they created this National Version with all districts represented.

Get the updates as they come on aljazeera. A team of chinese scientists are traveling to places no human has ever been. In banking on a daring deep sea mission in the hunt for greater resistance and new spaces. On this episode of want to one a week go on board with some of chinas top engineers and scientists as they explore the depths of the indian ocean. I think ari sorry because. My turn. My i want our app to start. Doing locks of a chinese race or actually in the middle of the indian. I learned the ocean and the shape of engineering in college allowed to hold my classmates they have no chance so god bar the sheep. I had a chance. Shes a trainee submersible pilot and shes anxiously awaiting her 1st ever deep sea dive which no woman from china has ever done before. Shes part of Chinas Mission to be a world leader in these final frontier. There in a rice against countries like russia india and japan you know if she gets the chance to dive shell go nearly 3 kilometers under the sea to search for new Mineral Resources and signs of life. Maybe i can friend a solid new atom also new all planets and a scene that is count based granted before by human but i read it and maybe i can carry it and i. Am my neighbors but i see there have animal in the word and there was johnny and wow its core that. Shes working alongside 95 crew members on this ship just 4 of them when. Theyre also carrying fixed john long a 3 person submersible the can take researches deep under the sea than any other machine on the. Looking for the nation the forms will flock i face the ward where weve my feet come the fall like how we feel when being might be coming from that school part. Of the 4 women on this mission one of them is a microbiologist dr jones you will study whatever life forms are brought to the surface. Plants and animals including tiny microbes known as ikea. They come hand though mario are a high powered pressure and the are a price and they kind you use. Basic kohan says theyre neutral and 2 so i and thats kind of the show where theyre leaving and thats kind of the compound where the e. Q. Out where you are you see a mirror to what was happening you opinions years old gold when there was no live in on earth is 6 ice me and you look for the live well meaning the it is years old goal or to look for the law of the us me when the company to different or the recess is it. Youre many scientists believe evolution began you know. The creatures found may be the most basic systems of the mind for them. And there is one type of habitat in the deep ocean where you expects to find an abundance of them. There is a big hero say that all kinds of life form might be from high to low what has all one its a week where the life was already making the news in years ill go and i know there are a lot of other go all we should tell because size of to. Shoot you make science very exciting which of these exciting this is what i want to do science and i feel exactly that i feel alive i feel myself when im too sighs everyones anxious to get the 1st dive under way you want samples of marine life down there. You and the other trainee pilots want to see how its really done else its very hard and at the heart of this mission professor tao once defined hydroid. Movements and shot the size of their Mineral Deposits is a very exciting because this is the 1st time for the indian ocean for the chinese and they the 1st time for the movements for us hydrothermal vents are like springs of burning hot water he said by dates a volcano is the law of ones will guide us to our target extinct vents like an extinct volcano these empty chimneys have cooled off leaving rich lies of Mineral Deposits for the taking getting too close to a live event could endanger the saab and its crew but the rewards of exploring any event are enormous. Kobolds manganese compact and other Precious Metals is a thread in the very credits there for us to do a search of how this will feel good and the us on the sea floor. On about to see them explore the track invent an area known for underwater volcanic activity. Its near where the antarctic australasian and african tectonic plates me. Even if it be down to track and field. Food when tao will pilot the 1st dive one of only 2 pilots qualified to drive the submersible jour own. Hes the expert training young recruits like he. I hope for they will go out forever quickly quickly yes and at that time maybe maybe they can. Just use my 40 dives they only have 2 professional pilot and. A lot more than that to me and also you know more than into our country so our single is a. Responsibility to me he knows that one day soon it will be her turn in the drivers seat for style he is one of the last thinkers. So i made a fair trade. Finally the ship is in position. The submersible has been checked and food is ready to pilot the 1st i. Will be going in 3 kilometers under water. The crew have enough oxygen and no i to last been tainted hours. But lots can go wrong in that time. It takes over an hour to reach the bottom of the our ship. The deeper the submersible goes the dock and colder. Dropping to 2 degrees celsius. 4 hours passed with little signs of life. Then the tains lead geologist professor tao spotted something. We see a lot so must go grab him so i think thats the area were looking for. All. Only when the area is teeming with life which means they must be close to hydrothermal vents. Though we have any luck if we followed them at the big freeze there thats the area where we have thought thats the very exciting. At last they spot the vance or. Do need to be careful as they move the sob closer to the boiling hot water. When youll was with a walk when was very busy very busy. You needed to construct all your and which. The submersible is built to withstand extreme elements but it has an achilles heel its window is. The water spewing from a hydrothermal vent can reach 400 degrees celsius. If they get too close the plexiglass windows would melt and the sub would implode. But fernie used to get close to the bed to take a sample of its crossed. But theres a problem. That will last that are left to the window was on the 1st black smoke. And out of the same time all or right window was was aware america goes to the remains of the ocean current has pushed the sob over the stream of a vent the window may not withstand the hate adjuster. Us needed. He manages to move the why. Then not out of danger yet. To get the sobbed. Back to the surface i need to draw it to haiti wires. But only one white with a sense that its not. A spiral fosse had been left in the ocean. The submersible has 7 directional propellers 2 of these are off with rusty but they designed for steering around the ocean floor north for pushing the south up 3000. 00 made his weave white still attached i was worried about it because of just tool. Cannot fail. Kind of anyone. To stop it barely moves. And by now theyve been under for almost 10 al its. All soon to run out of. But. The sod starts rising its. Finally breaks the surface. When this obvious safely back in its cradle the tail realizes how lucky they ahd to be a lot on the ball on 1. 35 but not all of them but what goes through the window more than your head under the bed of the book the most dangerous. Oh. So dangerous. The bent scorched the savage just sent to meet his from its window very very close to the mountain so you always get them out there in the heat if youre by the very very close 3 of them oh oh. Oh no the food noise how close he came to disaster to die and his thoughts turned to his family back home in china. How child the only one on the happiest own. Father yet i mean daddy. Hes dedicated his life to this job that he loves but its come at great personal cost. Rule mr manning seems like my 1st song sister missed the best of my song even made me so professed to marcescens. Dsouza to her if i have a choice for the less in the future i want to stay with us my son to stay with us and parents food looks forward to the day hes trying to ease will step up and stop piloting their own missions its a fun task that just as well within the hour ive been a sows uncomfortable. Distraught i tell myself again ok i must do it. Its my job. But before you get her a chance to dive experienced a must try it again are. They yet to bring back any samples. So the damage is repaired and excitement builds for the next dive but. This time biologist dr is anxious as she waits for dot and say. This is not a. Salad even. At 60. 00 it out. Though this is really the 1st time that this and the womens more violent and why. You see the search for. The live there must be a story it must be worry much different than what we see on that though or we want to ask what media ways and allow the weirdos. Your mad science. The. Sampling microorganisms from hydrothermal vents will give insight into our region of life itself. But they need to get the sample insights into the sun. Follow the route and so i feel a little play sure thats transfer the responsibility to. Use that. I was always stressed. The sub is in position. Is the moment of truth. The other way here. Its been great our its. Been the submersibles starts transmitting dollars out. There gathering samples from nearly 3 kilometers below what happened. In the war. The word. 2 will. Come. When they bring the service. Ya think straight yes. They are awake the squire the sound was on the scientific away. Also smile its a witch kind the whole compound of my feet inside yet it really and it was something i would place the put this sample in the my mouse. Wheel well 7 i do it at least. Specially designed equipment has carefully preserved live organisms under the same extreme High Pressure conditions. As where theyre leaving the date. I think the face of the eyes all of us here oh its the eyes of the girls and you know we can look at our good it will be its like. The bell rings that. As it turns out minerals at this low spreading ridge are is rich as predicted making dragon field a prospect for mining. But whats even more valuable is the discovery that many creatures here are different types of crabs snails and worms and more all of them than biologists ever expected and this is a good the this is the only thing known yes it is amazing. And the sad most on the buy it has will be these are people to do ara while the who is self interest the and the who might lose a sample for their own research so were talking about deep sea finding new enzymes and after compounds that might help with medicine and the other and the about x. After you take them for a long time you got resistance for the back and about ifs the only need to look for a new form of them were to go play me to the sea. In the middle of the ocean the 5 week mission can feel more like 5. Especially for Young Chinese like. Who are going to now have done the bullet train. Was the longest to see. And now are part of the ship if you like sometimes now sometimes you have. Nothing else by revealing the areas crashed. By. Yes the whole. Writing patiently checks who will dive next. Shes been told its her turn to morrow shell have the chance to experience something few humans ever will. She be going to the bottom of the deep ocean alongside a pilot and a scientist to put all her training into action. To put that into perspective there are more people going into space than there are going into the deep ocean. Is about to become the 1st chinese female to do it. She invites me inside the saab for her final driver. Ok. Its tiny voice that says that of the speed yes. Wow. And you spend 10 hours in the. Ive got to fathom our army. Moving. Past my house going to sleep but maybe only toy exciting and i can i come see me very soon so take house and my new clothes and buried in the mirror. And this thing looking are good for. The chinese flag in their back i like it. The day i become the training pilot i drink that one day there but the lack thereof guildhall. I just. Sets for myself you must be strong strong and strong theres no time for me to fing think of things either of course of course afraid alito alito yes to be honest. A little afraid. As dawn breaks the crew is pretty the same. After years of training this is the 1st time he will be involved in an actual deep sea mission. Today she wont be drawn by the tame you testing her ability to cope with the extreme conditions from the. War. Then told me that you need more than you. This sorry for asked so if you are fast. Walks on so we know there is no lights thats i can see that animals think think think think think think theyre smart. See in your eyes. Is wiring exciting. This or any other word. Thing its. Love. Wireds. Ive fallen are a big fish its a fish its just a lack of holes this area. May find being alive some tired of the small b. S. The window and the we can see anything. Everything goes to plan and the copes well with the pressure and impresses her. Her shipmates await him back on board to celebrate. I hope i have a pic filter and have been near. Hardware. But. There are. China is leading the global race to explore the dates they are mine but it faces growing competition from other countries. Its truly the last frontier. And china hopes their discoveries will benefit the whole. But the bodies on the lawn in the biggest stunt of the industrys stunt performers are unknown and under one a one a few mates the men and women risking it all for the brought lots of dollars on al jazeera business updates brought to you by Qatar Airways going places together.

And this is the news hour live from doha coming up the next 60 minutes thousands take to the streets for rallies around the world calling for action against Climate Change. A whistle blowers complaint. Is a political standoff ensues between the u. S. Congress and the president. Castro on my way to meet with thousands of people planning to storm a secretive military base where they believe the u. S. Government studies. And for japan is hosting their 1st rugby world cup. To take on russia and the Tournament Opener which kicks off later this hour. Now the largest Climate Change protest in history is underway protesters from more than 150 countries are joining a youth led Global Strike calling for an end to fossil fuels it begins a weeklong Worldwide Campaign demanding greater action from political leaders well the protests began in sydney with thousands of people joining one of australias largest protests in the decade demonstrators won the government to change the countrys state this is the Worlds Largest exporter of coal and liquefied natural gas in poland demonstrators demanding the government officially acknowledges the Climate Crisis and set up an independent environment council. Thousands took to the streets to call for action in nairobi experts there are expecting rising temperatures to add more challenges to humanitarian crises in the region and in new delhi students gather outside the ministry of housing and urban affairs who are protesting against unplanned construction which is contributing to c o 2 emissions. These are doing justice. To what. Is close to. The people because doing something without thinking about. To improve the system is going to be changed through a very very very easy policy changes incentivize good behavior. Bad behavior is really very simple. Now of covering those marches happening around the globe well talk to dominic cain at a rally in berlin but 1st lets go to for me to miller who is standing by in cape town for me to understand protesters there when the governor declared a National Emergency. Protesters here sammy say not enough is being done to mobilize South Africans against Climate Change and people just say its a matter of urgency there are a few 100 people gathered just want to march to follow months and they want the south african government to act declare it a National Emergency but they say there should be a plan put in place one of the issues they want out of is that there should be a mandatory curriculum for young people to understand and deal with Climate Change in a in a much better way they also want government to say no to cold how was stations they say in south africa not has been not enough is being done and this is also based they say on Research Showing that south africa is heating up at almost twice the global average now in a city like cape town which was groped by drought 2 years ago where the city almost ran out of water they say the government needs to pay far more attention. That for me to miller in cape town lets cross over nile the other side of the world dominic carry him live there what is the turnout look like. Sammy certainly the organizers of the protest here hoping that many many thousands of people will come here on and saw the Brandenburg Gate right now and certainly streams of people of all ages of being going past all drawn here on the slogan of fridays for the future of trying to influence the government here the interesting thing sammy is a very recent opinion polls suggest that a majority of germans are now more concerned about Climate Change than they are about Economic Growth in their. Our own country the other interesting thing to point out here is the news value of this protest taking place because they solve to noon the German Government the cabinet what they call the forum its cabinet will be meeting in the chancellor Angela Merkel and many of her senior cabinet colleagues meeting to try to rush through some kind of agreement these all of the green politics in this country the interesting thing to say here is that angle america has very recently said that she thinks it will be a. For her country to reduce its emission levels down to the sorts of levels the government has committed to reaching by 2030 so all of this as it were is up for grabs right now these protesters are hoping the government will do something to say well its only the onus is on the government im going to medical meeting her colleagues in a few hours to come up with something that will please the protesters who are here at the Brandenburg Gate all right and thats dominic came in burlington this keep this going now we can go visit jakarta retailer mohammed joins us from there with a mass has generated by all those fires theres plenty for people to protest about right. There really angry sammy theres around 400 students some as young as 9 years old that have come that she demonstrates in the capital here in front of the president ial palace and what theyre calling for is clean and and blue skies and they think that its not too much off the government to try and maintain to put things into perspective there have been forest fires that have dominated the headlines across indonesia for the cost much more than a month now and what the students want here is for the government to take on better Law Enforcement to try and prevent these fires from happening so far we know that 328000. 00 hectares of land have been burnt across indonesia since the beginning of this year and a lot of the people here are saying that theyre now suffering from terrible haze this is affecting their eyesight thats causing i are teaching me i kept getting asked and having severe breathing problems in other ways too so what they want the government to do is deal with this by tackling it as soon as possible to prevent any further illnesses all right and about was right you know mohamed from jakarta.

Plenty more still ahead on the news hour including farmings in the blood but these families are worried about livelihoods. By. The games are on kyrgyzstan revive sports from hundreds of years ago and its more the yankees clinch a landmark victory action for Major League Baseball coming up. Now the u. S. Justice department is being accused of playing a major role reportedly with holding a whistle blowers complaint against the u. S. President according to u. S. Media the complaint related to a phone call between donald trump and a foreign leader the head of the u. S. House Intelligence Committee says officials were blocked from passing it on to congress the president has called the reports fake news. The whole point of the whistle blower statute is not only to purge those to report problems abuses violations it was but also to have a Legal Mechanism to do so and not to disclose classified information because theres no other remedy. That whole purpose is being frustrated here because the director of National Intelligence has made the unprecedented decision not to share the complaint with us trumps denied the accusation heres what he tweeted another fake news story out there it never ends exclamation mark virtually any time i speak on the phone to a foreign leader i understand there may be many people listening from various u. S. Agencies not to mention those from the other country itself no problem exclamation mark and mike hanna has more now from washington d. C. The man who received the original complaint as the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community he has now sent a series of letters to the house Intelligence Committee outlining the procedures he followed and the procedures that have not been followed he says he took 2 weeks to investigate the complaints and found them to be credible and importantly of an urgent nature he sent his report to the acting director of National Intelligence who legally has a week to consider the report before forwarding it to the Relevant Congressional Committee in this case the house Intelligence Committee but the director the acting director of National Intelligence went to the Justice Department who told him that legally he did not have to pass the information on now this of the intelligence oversight of the Intelligence Community making very clear he does not agree with this decision and in fact finds that the incorrect decision hes made this opinion public in that letter to the Congressional Committee this is given ammunition to that committee to take further action against the Justice Department in particular which it accuses of blocking information that legally the Congregational Committee should receive in the interests of protecting the president the Congressional Committee has now subpoenaed the acting director of intelligence to appear before it next week to explain why he did not follow constitutional and legal procedure and forward vetted complaint to the Relevant Committee in congress now finkelstein is a professor of law and philosophy at the university of Pennsylvania Law School she says this is a significant development. This is an enormous story possibly the biggest story of this presidency because 1st of all its arguably the 1st time that a whistle blower action has been filed against the president if indeed thats what this action is as we know are coming to understand. And there are extensive protections that are required by law for whistleblowers to enable them to bring Important Information of corruption to light so 2nd of all there would be as part of the story obstruction of justice potentially on the part of the white house actors in the white house or even the president because it appears as though there is potentially a coordinated effort going on to ensure that congress adam shifts committee in particular does not receive the copy of this complaint
