Director has no jurisdiction in this area and it is a sad fact that the director of National Intelligence would agree to be balland by that view that the director of National Intelligence would adopt the view that he had no jurisdiction over an effort to seek foreign interference in our election that will be the subject of our hearing with a director tomorrow whats more that the department of justice opinion doesnt even preclude the director from providing that complaint to our committee and yet he has withheld it in violation of the law but the fact that the president and states would invoke the attorney general sends a further message to the ukrainian president that this is not just me asking this is not just Rudy Giuliani asking this is the United States government asking and we plan to infect effectuate that through the department of justice whether those steps. Have taken place yet or not or whether those steps have now been prevented by the whistleblower complaint and all that has followed from that revolution revelation so here we have the present a United States engaged in a shakedown of a foreign president a president and states even as he is withholding vital military support to an ally asking a favor of that ally to investigate his opponent and just by way of background here so we know whats at stake in 1994 we tried to get ukraine to give up Nuclear Weapons it inherited from the soviet union they were reluctant to do so because those weapons might be a guarantee against aggression by their neighbors that is by the soviet union but we and our allies persuaded the ukrainians nonetheless to give up those weapons and we assured ukraine that we would help guarantee its territorial integrity well russia would then invade ukraine. And over the years since that invasion the United States has provided l. B. At not enough military support to ukraine but the most recent support to ukraine was held up by this president hundreds of millions of dollars for reasons that the president would not and the secretaries were not able to communicate even to leaders of their own party like Mitch Mcconnell who said yesterday that he couldnt find out why this aid was being withheld well i think we know why the aid was being withheld notwithstanding the presence now conflicting explanations while it was because we wanted them to investigate corruption no it was because we wanted europe to give them more money even though europe has given them even more than we have i think we know why the president was withholding that assistance but regardless. Ukraine understood exactly what was being asked of it ukraine understood exactly what they needed from the United States and that a president of the United States would interfere with our National Security would interfere with the National Security of our ally and do so for the illicit purpose of trying to advance his Election Campaign having already sought for help in his 1st president ial campaign would now abuse the power of his office yet again this time to seek the help of another nation in his president ial campaign is the most fundamental betrayal of his oath of office and id be happy to respond to your questions but one final point about the whistleblower we still dont have the complaint now that we have the department of justice opinion i think it telling that they have released that and yet not released the inspector generals legal analysis that takes issue with it this is again bill barres Justice Department trying to put out a misleading spin in this case in the form of the departments opinion but nevertheless that complaint needs to be provided to our committee it needs to be provided in its entirety that whistleblower needs to begin to structure and about how to come to our committee and that whistleblower needs to be given the complete freedom to report any allegations of wrongdoing that have come to that whistleblowers attention we will not brook any kind of interference given how pervasive this cover up apparently is now be happy to answer questions yes. Why. Oh. Well. My response is the president of ukraine brought up his countrys need for military assistance and immediately thereafter the president of state said i have a favor i want to ask of you and would not let the subject go there was only one message that that president of ukraine got from that call and that was this is what i need i know what you need like any mafia boss the president didnt need to say thats a nice country you have it be a shame if something happened to it because that was clear from the conversation there is no quid pro quo necessary to betray your country or your oath of office even though many read this as a quid pro quo im not concerned whether it is a quid pro quo or not ukraine understood what this president wanted he made it abundantly clear he made it redundantly clear he had his emissaries making it clear. And ukraine needed no knew what it needed to do if it wanted to get military assistance and that is help the president the United States violate his oath of office when. He quit. Well i think in its most naked form and this is what our inquiry is going to look into. The president has now admitted the notes of this call and we dont even know if these are the complete. Notes of that call. Indicate the president lied states shaking down a foreign leader essentially undermining the National Security of this country for a personal political gain and one that violates. His oath of office so. It is very powerful evidence of that kind of potential impeachable offense. But we want to get the full facts before the American People and we also want to make sure we take corrective action and i want d to thank the whistleblower we still dont know whether this is a subject the whistle blowers complaint but i think this single courageous individual may have had the effect of forcing the white house to provide ukraine with this funding knowing that these matters were going to come to light. But this was a blower has already added tremendous impact in exposing wrongdoing in the present 9 states and helping protect our National Security in a way. That his or her boss was unwilling to do and by that i mean the director as well as the president. A mafia like shakedown of a foreign leader and a fundamental betrayal of the oath of office so says adam schiff democrat and chair of the House Intelligence Committee reacting to the memo that has been released to the white house by the white house President Trumps conversation with the ukrainian president he said his memorable sort of quote here the president didnt need to say thats a nice country youve got there itd be a shame if something happened to it hes saying the inference is enough lets put that to Christine Pelosi who has stayed with us member of the Democratic National committees executive committee thank you for staying with us through that is that enough do you do you believe that because this seems to be the reaction ive seen really from republicans including President Trump so far is that because there isnt an explicit you do this and ill do that then its ok to release this President Trump still in the clear. Well a couple of things about the chairmanship said 1st of all i was on capitol hill working as a chief of staff to a member of the Intelligence Oversight Committee during 911 and after 911 when they created the office of the director of National Intelligence. The bill happen to be written by my mother and then ranking democrat on the Intelligence Committee and now Speaker Nancy Pelosi so i know this very well i lived it the whole point of having a director of National Intelligence the United States is because in the attacks of 9111 of the things that we learned in 2001 was that there was a bit of information that the cia might have theres a bit of information the f. B. I. Might have but the 2 couldnt talk so what you needed was one director of National Intelligence who could take all the information from defense from justice from state from various agencies and put it all together and present it to the president and say this is the composite picture of whats happening and so is somebody in that office of the director of National Intelligence saw all those agencies saw all those pieces of evidence being put together if you will with respect to ukraine and made a whistleblower report saying the law has been broken the constitutional duty has been breached there is nothing more serious than that so we have to be clear about 2 things one is the chairman said you dont need a quid pro quo only an offer of a quid pro quo number one and number 2 we have to look at the entire whistleblower come complaint because it appears that the facts begin when Congress Passes the law that appropriates the funds then we go to the funds being held up then we go to this phone call that happened a week later. The notes and recollections of which we got today so that is why were looking for the entire whistleblower complaint because it does cover a broad scope of time and not just one moment and time and do you really really important i think the other question is sorry to interrupt you how do you get offended by compelling person to testimony so because it was 22 of us on a player and with the d. N. I. Ok and whats your hope of that actually happening short. Well tomorrow the director of National Intelligence has an appearance before the Intelligence Committee so hes been called to appear hes been asked to bring with him the inspector generals complaint the whistleblower complaint and the analysis that was done of that complaint by his office thats what hes been asked to bring with him there is always an opportunity for him to do the right thing and to show up tomorrow and to show up with a green light for the whistleblower to come and with the whistleblower complaint which would be provided in closed session in classified session to the members so in a Perfect World he would follow his duty and do that tomorrow if he fails to comply he will be asked why he failed to comply with the law and then based on that testimony either he could be held in contempt of congress or they could subpoena the whistleblower and the whistleblower complaint and that in turn would go to court so those are the options that they have and of course any evidence that you have that that is being deliberately held back in order to protect the president then becomes a charge of obstruction of justice so were looking both at the substance and also at the efforts to do the cover up and that is what the public should be looking at tomorrow during the House Intelligence Committee hearing and even it will be open testimony and close testimony but in the open testimony part that were all allowed to watch will be looking for the director of National Intelligence the acting director of National Intelligence. To be a patriot and do the right thing and honor the sacrifice of his whistleblower by bringing that complaint forward christine thank you so much for joining us today on aljazeera we do appreciate it thank you lets move to another developing story about as the romans president sending it to fund message to the u. S. About sunshines on his Country House on rouhani addressing World Leaders about an hour or so ago at the u. N. General assembly. Our patience has a limit when the u. S. Does not respect the United Nations Security Council resolutions and when europe displays in ability the only way shell be to rely on National Dignity pride and strength they call us to negotiations while they run away from treaties and deal. With the incumbent u. S. Government on the 5 plus one negotiating table however they failed to honor the commitment made by their predecessor on behalf of my nation and state i would like to announce that our response to any negotiation under sanctions is negative. At the United Nations for. Our response to talks under pressure is no where does that leave any hope for talks and for the Iran Nuclear Deal. Come of this is likely to further lead to an election in the region many people were looking forward to see rowhani today give an indication that he was willing to talk to President Donald Trump to solve the crisis but his answer came outright he is rejecting calls and negotiations with the americans as long as the sanctions continue is continue and he said how can we negotiate with those who are imposing sanctions he used the term killing silently our own people and he insisted reiterated that iran is never going to talk to those who are trying to see iran bow down to concessions at the same time he was very critical of the European Unions saying basically that the key players are the key actors in the 2015 nuclear deal said that they were willing to sidestep the sanctions imposed by the americans however iran has only been listening to no action from the European Union was quite interesting that today the e. U. Foreign policy chief of the become a greenie and expressed hope that the 2015 year deal should be preserved and the only way to prevent any further escalation in the region has little honey at the very end of his statement warned against any attempt to launch any military attack against iran saying that it would backfire and dilute a full blown confrontation in the region. Is that the u. N. Thank you and with us here again matter of a professor and director of the center for international and regional studies at Georgetown University here in qatar just to build on what hashem was talking about there and you made this point in the last hour. Hasan rouhani then sort of it was a bit of an olive branch he said hey if you want to do the minimum thats fine as far as the deal goes well come with you in there so he sort of trying to keep the deal alive but at the same time saying he doesnt seem to have much hope for it because the europeans the americans arent on board exactly president rouhani and foreign minister zarif are really in a tough spot because they spent a lot of Political Capital on striking this deal bringing this deal about and of course we see that shortly after taking office President Trump withdrew from the nuclear agreement. These political figures are under a lot of pressure at home to deliver and at the same time the European Union has not necessarily lived up to its end of the bargain in terms of sanctions relief particularly in the ronny and Banking Sector so rouhani unsafe or is under some considerable pressure at home what did you think of the overall tone of president rouhani speech because on the one hand he would say things like our region is on fire and a single blunder can you know tip it all over the edge and then he was also talking about a coalition of hope and saying all the countries need to get together and we can be and in fact presented himself as the peacemaker. This speech was interesting at several levels at one level it was defiant. And was consistent with the fact that rouhani and save have said iran will not yield to pressures but on the other hand it was also interesting because represented a Diplomatic Initiative that we really have not seen out of tehran in the past in this horse hormones and hormones peace and ever and of course there was an interesting olive branch or a Diplomatic Initiative and we will have to wait and see how the saudis will react in here like a matter of her mother thank you for staying with us has been a really busy news day so do appreciate that thank you. And still the news goes on the u. K. Parliament is reconvened an m. P. s many questions about its suspension by the Prime Minister early this month Boris Johnson is expected to address m. P. s shortly remember on tuesday Supreme Court judges ruled his decision to send him home was unlawful parliament was suspended for 5 weeks in the lead up to the break that deadline in october his pop ran and he is at the palace of westminster with an update. Hello come out there have been furious exchanges within the lower house the house of commons here during the course of the day and ps really relishing the opportunity to get back to business and interrogate the government says to the preparations bearing in mind the attempts unlawful by the Prime Minister Boris Johnson to prevent the m. P. s from actually doing that the scene was set early with the attorney general geoffrey talks to try and it seems to take the moral high ground saying that it was parliament that was a disgrace and that the labor party the opposition parties should be having a general election to resolve this issue instead of trying to pull Government Back into the house against its will but there were also many many interventions from opposition m. P. s there was one in particular from Barry Sherman a labor m. P. Whos was so furious that his intervention actually went viral on social media saying that it was not the labor it was a disgrace it was the government who should it should be lecturing opposition m. P. s that was the disgrace according to Barry Sherman now throughout the course of the day government ministers have been interrogated that the governments brix it preparations we are expecting to hear from the Prime Minister Boris Johnson who had to come back early from the United Nations General Assembly in new york overnight he was due to speak about an hour ago he is only just now we understand preparing to leave down the street to come here to parliament so its all running a little bit late in fact considerably late and its the sheer frankly the unpredictability of its all that is leading to its being so compelling viewing from where im standing here oh yes credibly compelling ok back to paul brennan later on as hopefully we hear from the british Prime Minister parth johnson in parliament a little later as i said its been a very busy day here not just whats going on there at westminster but the iranian president speaking at the United Nations General Assembly saying that there would be no talks about the Iran Nuclear Deal as long as iran remains under u. S. Sanctions he was unequivocal about that and then the development from washington of course. The release by the white house of a transcript between the president of the United States and the president of the ukraine the democrats saying it is a mafia like shakedown in fact of a world leader all the analysis coming up in our news hour after with this.
