Southern africa is becoming more and more active now not only this cloud has brought rain but it was some has and use for rain that no longer is it too hot in botswana. The 1st glimpse of the challenges faced by journalists if. We are fighting the fake. Calling the enemy of the people through yards over for the White House Correspondent what do you base your decision down the press is not after this after. Were not the enemy of the people we are the u. S. Or. Is it any word on. How again youre watching aljazeera a reminder of our top stories this hour a car bombing in the syrian town of tell ill be add has killed at least 13 people and left more than 20 injured and the town is under attack control and im aiming kurdish groups for the attack. At least 125 people have been injured in the iraqi city of basra the countrys Human Rights Commission says many 120 Security Forces may have to break up a protest camp hundreds have been blocking roads leading to the port and several oil fields. And tear gas has been fired in hong kong as thousands of people rallied there for the 22nd straight weekend antigovernment protesters smashed the windows at the Hong Kong Office of chinas one news agency. Now the u. S. State department has accused iran of being the worlds leading state sponsor of terrorism and the new report that praised gulf countries for making progress but says more still needs to be done. Reports iran spends nearly a 1000000000. 00 a year supporting what the u. S. Describes as terrorist groups thats according to an annual. Ports on terrorism by the u. S. State department. It says iran uses its proxies to expand its influence around the world on the gulf region the report paints a mixed picture it says that despite serious efforts by governments some individuals and groups is still financing attacks in particular it says the u. A. E. Government works well with the u. S. Intelligence agencies but hasnt done enough to prevent terrorist organizations from exploiting financial loopholes certainly u. A. E. Did not succeed entirely in its pledges to not succeed. In its efforts to eradicate terrorism certainly it had most of its success in preventing attacks in u. A. E. So i will succeed in that respect but in terms of terror and for terrorist financing that continues to flow in the u. A. E. There needs to be a lot more done the state Department Also says the 29 month blockade imposed on cattle by saudi arabia the u. A. E. Bahrain and egypt is hampering regional counterterrorism efforts u. S. Position is very clear and that is that. The gulf reconciliation is a Core National security interest and more than that in the state Department Report i was just released today. Specifically stressed that lack of lack of coordination between the g. C. C. Actually hampering counterterrorism cooperation in the region as the blockade continues the u. S. Position is that outside pressure on either side would not help end the blockade and thought regional instability can only add to rising tensions with iran the turia gates and be al jazeera well earlier i spoke to brett proven who is the director of Global Engagement in the white house under president obama and is now president of the Global Situation room he says eisel remains a threat despite al baghdadi is death. It really is Interesting Development what youre seeing is racially ethnically motivated both groups and individuals that are taking a page out of the playbook of isis and what did isis do they were able to use propaganda to fill their coffers to fill their ranks and that is a path that can be replicated by other groups such as those like the racially and ethnically motivated individuals and groups i think it is a issue that merits more attention and efforts to combat just taking back territory even the death of al baghdadi does not reduce the significant serious threat that i so poses to the United States to our allies in the region in fact in some ways the threat becomes much more complicated now because you dont have as definite a target it is spreading across the region it is moving into places like africa and it is certainly moving online with greater vigor and greater potency and that could result in terrorist attacks popping up in many places around the world. Well in chile protests for social reforms have and said their 3rd week an estimated 45000. 00 people gathered in the capital santiago on friday and another nationwide demonstration is scheduled to begin in a few hours this time calling for the president s resignation.

All right lets bring in our panel now in new jersey on Skype Richard good scene a political consultant for the Democratic Party and former advisor to president bill clinton in washington d. C. Is Jack Kingston a Republican Party member and a former Senior Adviser to Donald Trumps 2016 president ial campaign and in birmingham in the u. K. Scott lucas a professor of Political Science and International Studies at the university of birmingham welcome to you all gentlemen thank you for being on inside story Richard Goodstein let me start with you donald trump very combative he says his a victim part is in great chant what is motivating democrats house members to move forward with this process is it politics or is it duty. Imagine if president barack obama had told the saudis we will give you a lot of aid if you in the aid of Hillary Clintons president ial campaign find dirt on donald trump and publicize it and we will not have a meeting saudis in the white house unless you get dirt on Hillary Clinton the republicans in congress would have gone ballistic they would have started impeachment proceedings the 1st time they heard about that but were talking about here thats exactly the situation that we have here President Trump democrats talk about the apcs of impeachment is the abuse of the office thats not something a president should do or is entitled to do under the law be as a betrayal of in this case an ally of the ukraine by basically holding a gun to their head rhetorical e and telling them there would not be aid there would not be a meeting in the oval office until they did what trump asked for and she is corruption this is blatantly a corrupt out so this is not politics if in fact the democrats didnt do this what would stop donald trump from saying to the chinese we will have a trade deal and in fact well make it beneficial to you but only as trump did say on the back lawn of the white house several weeks ago if you come up with dirt on joe biden or every other t. O. That donald trump entered into would be predicated on the Foreign Government digging up dirt on his political rivals message loud and problems to respond jack your response republicans say the inquiry is on sat its unconstitutional its unamerican what is wrong with this process and in your view well of course richard has not read the transcript by somewhat i just heard nothing that that was all very interesting but just like adam shift who in a official congressional hearing. Made up a parody and said it was the transcript and only back then once he was caught in the lie richard has done the same thing none of that was in the transcript and i would say to your viewers just read the transcript all you have to do is google ukranian transcript and if any of that sin there maybe there is something to it but listen 3 prior impeachment hearings all have been bipartisan this one was not bipartisan except 2 democrats saw that it was so horrible that they voted with republicans on it one of them was a senior democrat by the way the democrat deep staters cannot stand the fact that they lost the election in 201619 minutes into the trump president say the Washington Post said impeachment process will begin immediately and thats all theyve done they struck out on jack let me just ask you. Right here i hear you on this but let me just ask you briefly before i move on to notice what is wrong with this specific process that the republicans are complaining about theyve been complaining that the hearings had been in private in secret so why didnt they vote yes on thursday in congress because some of the rules could now in fact help them under these rules President Trumps will be able to bring witnesses to defend his case wouldnt. Well actually the rules were drawn up by 9 democrats and 4 republicans so even that process was an even but there is not equal access to transcript release theres not equal crosses examination of witnesses theres not the equal of billets a subpoena witnesses if you want to do it fairly and richard knows because he was a clinton guy we as a Republican Party gave president clinton 30 hours of testimony of ability to crossexamine and see is accusers we havent even been able to taught to this c m a c america the. Suppose of whistleblower why dont we have access to him if it was a fair trial i think the same would be dismissed in one way but the democrats have done it for 37. 00 days d in the capitol basement because theyre ashamed of them sorry they leak out information selectively to make the president look bad jack thank you for that allow you to respond richard in just a moment but i want to get caught because its using in burning and scott now because only the 4th time in u. S. History that the house has formalize impeachment proceedings against a sitting president how does the case against compare to that of nixon and clinton in terms of severity and also in terms of strength. Well i need to think 1st i dont deal in misinformation like we just heard i deal in facts and the facts as they have been brought out by more than a dozen current and former u. S. Officials as well as by the transcript of the trump selenski phone call and other documents is that from last November Donald trump and his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani kerio a campaign of pressure on ukrainian officials to open an investigation into president ial candidate joe biden the Democratic Party and an investigation to cover up russias interference in 2016 those are the facts of the testimony that have been heard so far now if those facts are confirmed not only in the public hearings to come but in the trial they could constitute at the least of uses of power by donald trump in effect saying i dont care about u. S. Foreign policy i want ukraine to do this for my personal gain in my reelection and it could constitute a crime which is inviting a Foreign Government to come in and interfere in the u. S. Election but Scott Nancy Pelosi had been reluctant on impeachment and it wasnt long ago that the democrats were questioning the politics and also how useful a vote by the one we saw on thursday would be given the large probability of the Senate Republicans would acquit trump if the house voted to impeach john so whats changed i mean. Well nancy pelosi said it and shes right that what changed was the revelation not only of the trump selenski phone call but of the extent of this campaign over the past year to put pressure on ukraine to investigate biden and the democrats when that came out in september palosi begin to shift and of course we began to have the closed door hearings now let me correct another piece of misinformation from mr kingston these are not secret hearings these were hearings in which republicans as well as democrats wanted to know it and says republic im sorry oh sorry jack public as well on those committees which are in the really well 2nd like sorry. No one is if they used any or im just saying things were said of a nation and allow you to respond after that go ahead scott because you can repeat your you can repeat your misinformation in a minute show them by 1st republicans have been in there herrings 2nd secondly the process of hearings in the house is equivalent to a grand jury indictment in a grand jury you only have the presentation of evidence the point at which donald trump can crossexamine is jack is insisting comes up when you have the public hearings which are now to come in the house and when you have the trial if it occurs in the senate in other words this investigation has been carried out by the same rules as under the watergate hearings in 74 and as under the clinton hearings but to try to sabotage the hearings the false narrative is put out that the democrats are cheating all right jack your response i think youd be in philly scotus be in philly i mean hes trying to have this real serious voices if thats going to make it true scott come on you say a half a dozen what is this number one those hearings are classified so how do you know they have more added talent did you get it from a laker you get will name 6 of them just go ahead rattle off the how to quickly because i provided probably stay one of each of the i dont want to jump in here perhaps. Look. I think its it speaks to how thin the defense of donald trump is that his defenders talk about the he says being secret hearings when scott says there were Republican House members who were at every single one and a half and jury and their counsel had every opportunity to crossexamine the witnesses there its speaks to the fact that they complained and complained. Your question pointed out about the fact they were secret and then voted uniformly against the fact that the hearings would become public because they know i think what it really should be evidence is so let me ask you do we have equal time that we have a we do not have equal time again and that is legal we do not have equal ability to subpoena witnesses you agree on that are those are facts if you want to talk about that republicans dont have the equal of the everything all of the really notices all right good time lets not so i dont know the composition of it forwards because may i speak im trying to question what is a time to leave Jack Kingston let me just ask you this whats going to be the republican strategy then moving forward some reports are suggesting that some republican some g. O. P. Senators and now actually ready to acknowledge that there was a quid pro quo but auggie that that was legal and doesnt constitute impeachment how do you do that. Well i dont know of any members of the senate who are that way the media said the same thing about the house members that the house members were afraid and some house members are going to defect and vote with the radical socialist democrats that was not the case but heres what the American People do know the American People are fair they understand republicans will not have equal time to crossexamine they will not have equal time to bring our equal ability to bring in witnesses they wont be able to subpoena they wont have equal ability to release transcripts they also know that adam shifted during the miller investigation said repeatedly i have the goods i have the evidence evidence that shows that russia didnt kowloon with President Trump well that counted dissipated and then we know that he lied the other day say and this is what the transcript said it did not say that we also know they were say and theres a whistleblower who apparently worked for both Obama Brennan and i guess biden. He apparently was confident all of that is atrocious and. Americans understand that americans understand fairness and the president isnt given in a scott lucas way to american stand on this recent poll shows that americans approve the impeachment investigation but i only a 3rd of the people who approve it say the inquiry should be a top priority for congress so what does that say about where the American Public stands on this. Well those were roughly the same percentage as when the watergate hearings began in 1904 so in other words i think instead of saying were the American People stand its going to be a question of what comes out as evidence in the hearings and then well see how the American Public reacts the rest of us i think jack didnt answer your question about what the republican strategy is but he actually demonstrated quite effectively and that is instead of actually talking about the evidence it has to misrepresent and to try to trash for example the democrats as being liars and to trash the witnesses so for example we know who the person is who filed the formal complaint hes a cia official who was working with the trouble white house are you going matters he did he did he did not work for biden and obama as a political appointment 3 well i think really the issue of obama or the cia it was no he did not he said he wants or democrat jack is a registered democrat i bet you agree with that fact he is a resident democrat you will agree to that right silence i say so the facts are those will blow your head heres the whistle jack ok jack that im sorry there was im going back for the whistleblower was a see the whistle blower wasnt officially i didnt want to have you put out lies the red hot going amenities ok were ready your demo here lets just agree lets is a drama about why not what we can expect then in the coming weeks please if we can reach a goodstein please come back into the conversation here because i feel like were going around what can we expect and as a democrat dont you fear rachid that this could all backfire in the lead up to 2020. Yeah so i will expect would be well we wanted 2 things either they were very civilized hearings. Like we had around the watergate investigation where both sides are trying to get the facts out or we might have with all due respect republican efforts to basically stop that from happening stopping happening in an orderly way to make sure that the public does not get wind of the facts and i think thats a question that remains to be answered as far as the political calculation look i think the fact is nancy pelosi has made a judgment we cannot let this happen people say well lets wait face donald trump at the polls if we let what happened go by what does stop him from reaching out to the saudis for the chinese or the russians again remember paul matter for lawyers it that he met with russian spies to give them secret polling data what keeps that from happening again in late you know kind of violation of u. S. Law and i would say that when george w. Bush ran for president in 2000 he said the following phrase i will restore honor and dignity to the oval office if you said it once he said it a 1000 times which was a reference to what happened with bill clinton and george w. Bush won with that message at a time when the economy was actually doing quite well so the notion that somehow this is going to backfire i would say today the public doesnt really know the evidence once this these hearings are done they will go and it will not be very flattering to donald trump Jack Kingston your response and also can we expect the white house and the Trump Administration to cooperate with these hearings so far they havent done so well written well Richard Schutte know very very well that the 3 previous in pates minutes were done on a bipartisan basis this is absolutely not republicans do not support this process because of the reasons that ive. Already outlined 31 house members represent states which donald trump one another 20 or so represent seats that used to be held by republicans this is about those 50 members they are in play if you do the poll and in those districts people do not support this impeachment they do not support the process what they do support is a Strong Economy and what they do want to show the democrats is Health Care Reform they would like to have a trade agreement done they would like to see the democrats actually engage in the syrian policy and theyre not seeing that in so many of these swing district democrats ran on a platform of im going to bring the 2 sides together im going to work to do things that are best for america not the democrat or the Republican Party and that and then see philosophy has stolen that narrative from him and richard knows because democrats ran against us when we tried to impeach president clinton he was impeached but the senate dismissed that but we paid a political price for what i hear when i go to the house these days and talk to a lot of members and probably there for 5 days away were going to take back the house because the democrats have overplayed their hand on this at the cost of trying to get some things done on health care trade in the economy all right Scott Nicholas in birmingham say one thing fully yes all right got it one quick thing go ahead richard and then ill give the final word time of the time that bill clinton was impeached 33 percent of the public support impeachment thats why the republicans took a beating in the polls in 1900 today with each passing week more and more americans favor impeachment and even removal and its now over majority so thats the big political difference between now and 1980 all right scott no this way just a year away from the election how does it play out heading into 2020 do you think be easier or more difficult now for the democrat democrats to take the house. Oh i you know that there are many factors which will come into that which arent just the impeachment hearings but it will be for example the state of the u. S. Economy it will be vital issues Like Health Care like education that are being raised right now especially by the democratic president ial candidates i think the broader point is what richard raised earlier and that is elections are important but so is maintaining the american system so is maintaining the american constitution and if you dont have a system of accountability if you allow lies and misinformation to prevent a Legal Process to ensure accountability right of the damage goes well beyond donald trump and this this crash has certainly raised questions about scott locus about the power of the u. S. Presidency ed also the balance of power under the constitution what does that say about the future of american democracy. Well it is a fundamental question raised and its a recurrent one but it has been elevated by the way that donald trump has bypassed courts by the way that he has bypass congress by the way that he has used media to try to replace discussion with insult and with let me be honest here deception sometimes laws and i think that again its not just a trump issue a democrat versus republican issue there is an issue of accountability about the executive the legislature and the courts and everyones going to have to be involved in this whether or not trump wins a 2nd term or whether theres a democrat in the white house because right now the american system is in its most parlous state probably since 1900 i dont be interesting to see what happens in the next few weeks of course gentlemen thank you very much for a very naively discussion Richard GoodsteinJack Kingston and scott noticed thank you all for being on inside story and thank you for watching you can always watch this program again any time by visiting our website at aljazeera dot com for further discussion go to our Facebook Page at facebook dot com for sasha a.
