Cooperates but of course we know this track record is that he tends to stonewall and he tries to delay the 3 House Committee chairman have said that they sent a subpoena to the white house they want full details of the call with ukraine and the white house are going to object to that this is likely to end up in the Supreme Court this is happened before and its likely to be where pins this time round as well quite simply the house is frustrated with the stonewalling with the delays with. The failure to deliver documents that theyre asking and so that is why they have put forward this subpoena and also includes Mick Mulvaney who is the chief of staff some would argue often the 2nd most powerful job in washington is the president s chief of staff they want documents from him as well now what sort of public can the White House Point of view well they say that until the house has a full vote on impeachment then there are no impeachment proceedings ongoing and the know that if they did that then the democrats would want is well but it would also the lay things the democrats for their part say thats simply not the case theyre following the letter of the law they can start impeachment proceedings and then gather evidence and when they feel they have enough evidence take it to the floor of the house this seems all either complicated but what it boils down to is this donald trump is having a bad week and it didnt get any better in the last couple of hours things are dont seem to be going that well for the Vice President there mike pence he has pretty much toed the line with donald trump the house wants some information from pence is well. Exactly and because he was informed about the calls with the ukrainian Prime Minister happened back in may and also in july and then there was the meeting that he actually had with the ukrainian president so you know Prime Minister the cleaning president and so they want the information from that no mike pence theres been very little daylight between him and the president even though in the past as a very relatively unknown governor from india he said Foreign Government should not be involved in any u. S. Elections whatsoever and in any way he has now is saying look there has to be some sort of investigation into allegations of corruption so the House Democrats have said right we want this information youve got to deliver it and we want to buy top of the 14th just 11 days from now and they see if you dont deliver it that will be seen as evidence of obstruction those 3 words are very important because those are the 3 words that were used in the articles of impeachment that eventually did for Richard Nixon way back in the 1970 s. And so theyre seeing evidence of obstruction theyre essentially saying if you dont do this were going to impeach you as well so mike pence is a very difficult political decision to make because remember the top essential is save mike pence his political career hes very much tied in with the president but if you see is the president sent trouble he may want to save his own skin although hes likely to go with the white house approach which is im not handing over these documents youre going to have to take this to the Supreme Court this is going to drag on for a few months yet the Supreme Court could easily show a nearly hearing on this but this is everything seems to be pointing in the direction of this going to the Supreme Court which just in case youve forgotten donald trump managed to appoint to justices to the Supreme Court so many people would consider it to have a right to a winning bent at the moment so this is going to be a very interesting time in american politics but when you talk about the last 3 years when hasnt it been as cetera it is never a dull day not for quite some time alan fischer live in washington allan thank you.

Somi hopes on the q. It depends on the u. S. On whether the d. P. R. K. U. S. Negotiations will become a window of opportunity or an occasion that will hasten the crisis the last summit between u. S. President donald trump and north Korean Leader kim jong un in hanoi in february ended early without a deal or even any significant announcement the holo diplomacy continued in june with another symbolic meeting at the Demilitarized Zone but no substance then and none since the hanoi summit broke down because of a gulf between the 2 sides which the United States may now be willing to partially bridge they had wanted complete verifiable denuclearization before offering any sanctions relief the North Koreans wanted most sanctions lifted in exchange for the dismantling of their main nuclear facility. Trump has now talked about a new approach which could include offering to lift some sanctions in exchange for the destruction of the young beyond Nuclear Research complex the us president recently blamed his former National Security adviser for past failings of john bolton fired back saying maximum pressure must be maintained on kim jong il he may try to get relief from International Sanctions he may make some concessions but under current circumstances he will never give up the Nuclear Weapons voluntarily this year north korea has continued to develop its short and Medium Range Missile technology conducting tests 11 times its most recent came just hours after the resumption of talks was announced. Trump says hes not concerned about the tests which some experts believe designed to strengthen their negotiating position you know this has to lower the bar of demands on north korea when it enters into a working level negotiations otherwise north korea will continue to increase its capability to pose a direct threat to the very National Security of the United States there is unlikely to be any major outcome from the resumption of talks but if a deal is reached any time soon it may be left to a potential 3rd trump kim summit to announce its wayne hay aljazeera solve in cameroon a National Dialogue aimed at ending separatist conflict has wrapped up the summit finish with the adoption of resolutions recommending special status and greater denuclearization for the countries to anglo phone provinces camerons English Speaking regions have been fighting for 3 years to break away from the french majority and create their own state has more from your own day.

This factory is making baby clothes destined for the u. S. But it has a problem its out of electricity running on a diesel generator much to the frustration of human the sites manager who wants to go green and it is up to him bottom line is when you just go plug in for war going to put us all renewable you know the direction of the field but ethiopia has done what most countries thought impossible ethiopians half of whom live on less than 2. 00 a day raised 4000000000. 00 to build africas the largest hydroelectric dam on the worlds biggest waterway the river nile without any assistance from International Donors the grander innocence dam is now near completion and this is making countries downstream nervous among them egypt because it gets 90 percent of its fresh water from the river nile. Either recognizing them you hear his friends going in his hands. For his money or to watch of the night and well as far as i understand and i dont know that egypt wants more water than ethiopia is ready to supply the dams reservoir is the size of Greater London if filled too quickly egypt will fall short of water the issues 100 percent could become condoms are scientists and see what is going on and this is how different part of them doesnt consume or could interpret his own civil rights to use it some bristles but talks between the knowledge sharing countries are stalling intention is arising. Last year ethiopia accused egypt of sending rebels to neighboring a rich to sabotage the dam prompting another knowledge sharing country sudan to send its troops to its border. While this is the rainy season here in ethiopia and waterways are overflowing bringing power to peoples homes and farmland for most of the year this river is a slow trickle because egypt controls most of the flow of the river nile into its. 3 at least for now ethiopias dam will start producing electricity next year with the potential of providing power to the entire horn of africa where most live off Grid Clean Energy to a promising and rising economy its neighbors might be worried about the effects but it seems there is no stopping ethiopias ambitions Nicholas Hawk aljazeera is happy about them and straighter is have again taken to the streets in haitis capital demanding the resignation of president ial an employee our tester set tires on fire as they marched to the United Nations office in Port Au Prince opposition leaders are urging the International Community to withdraw their support for moyes days march is the latest in almost 4 weeks of protests in which 17 people have been reported killed.

K. Prime minister Boris Johnson will send a letter to the e. U. Asking for delay if a deal isnt agreed to in 2 weeks time a Scottish Court is considering whether johnson could be jailed if he takes the u. K. Out of the block without a deal but johnson says he will comply with the new law which forces him to prevent a note that on october 31st ireland says the latest proposal is not good enough we we recognize that this is a serious proposal from the british but we also acknowledge that there are a number of big problems with us. And so if it is the basis of a stepping stone if you like to a proposal that can be the basis of a deal then i think its a really good thing. As millions of people in young people that is in the u. K. Had back to university or had there for the 1st time were also being encouraged to register to vote comes during deep political turmoil over britains decision to leave the e. U. And the hayward reports in southampton and southern england. Its an exciting time for new students in southampton at 18 the full of hope and ambition living away from home and with the prospect of being old enough to vote in any upcoming u. K. Election theyre all starting college life a sport and prepares to leave the e. U. The result of a referendum they were too young to vote. The fact its taken 3 years and like it was now i would have been able to vote whereas like i wasnt able to vote i feel like its affecting. My vote maybe things may have turned out differently 2 years ago remain. So youre making it so difficult for us at least i dont think thats a motion to stick by it bridged of the student leaders are calling on young people to get on the electoral roll so they can vote if theres a general election the u. K. Prime minister is reported to have wanted october the 15th as an election date so fewer University Students would have had time to register so soon after starting a new term she didnt have such a powerful voice but so often that marginalized his disgraceful because the. New generation of leaders and they said they having a say southampton is split politically at the moment so every vote will matter the student population here runs into tens of thousands so if they choose to vote it will have a big impact on the result here if there is an election and of course here in southampton there was a highly marginal constituency at the last election there were 31. 00 votes in it in 2017 younger people tended to bhopal labor and other smaller parties rather than both conservative yet the older generation still go to the polls in bigger numbers Younger Voters are certainly a significant part of the electorate in any forthcoming general election one thing thats important to say is that as we have an aging population and rates of china are still higher among older voters its easy to overestimate the extent to which the youth vote is going to swing it in a particular constituency and that since you know every vote counts when this generation of students graduate in 2022 the impact of britains plan departure from the European Union on younger people looking for work should be clearer and he would in southampton. Divers are exploring unknown waters off the coast of french guy and at its heart part of a campaign to better protect the worlds oceans let the 2nd of us reports from the region are. Alexy rosenfeld is dived all over the world but this is something new along with his team hes diving where no human has been before were now 135 kilometers from shore and around 600 from the mouth of the amazon. Its a real challenge to diving conditions and no no no one has ever dived here before we have to go through a really thick layer of sediment from the amazon mouth this layer is about 20 meters deep and after that its pitch black until the bottom there is a deep and complex dive careful preparation and double checking of equipment is essential. So there they go and theyll be heading down to a depth of 110 meters which is so deep that i only have 50 minutes on the seabed and in that time theyve got to collect samples and send them back up to the surface and then they have to stay in the wall to submerge for 3 hours to decompress. They drop down. Into almost darkness seen by their dive lights. At the bottom they have to work fast collecting biological samples other divers scan the reef and film it for review revealing a rich a ray of biodiversity. The samples ascent up to the surface heads over to pick them up and we hold the moment pulled and as the divers stay below to decompress the samples are right back on the esperanza is all manner of life care including all types of molluscs crustaceans sponges and starfish now you find the. Beaches you dont recognize well pretty fancy because this is all easy stuff so very very few people know. Very few. Meanwhile back with the divers some inquisitive hammerhead sharks pass by the decompression stop it is just an inquiry shots lose interest and head off. Back on the ship its time for a closer look at the kind of species that exist here it has been an extraordinary morning and one that even the most experienced divers have found exhilarating its its really i mean were were diving where. Nobody is even being its like discovering you when you were on it in age when our oceans are threatened by Climate Change over fishing oil drilling and deep sea mining the Scientific Evidence that team gather will help bolster the case for greater protection of the world sees nicholas aljazeera off the coast of french guyana its already a popular Tourist Destination but now new york has a new attraction thats loring and sightseers surprisingly its humpback whales which experts say are increasing in number of the cities coast there were 272 sightings of the mammal last year compared with just 5 in 2011 or since a lemmy explains why these tourists have come to new york to see a show but not the kind one typically associates with the big city here along Rockaway Beach and brooklyn the wildlife is the Star Attraction this is the main species that we are going to be looking for today.
