Pressures the beginnings of a an impeachment hearing in the house etc i dont think this is necessarily a new october surprise as weve learned to expect in this country but i do think the question was really no danger is very real even if the intention is not to actually begin a consciously deployed war and that iraq could jump in many or some fear that after the attacks on the quake would be a move through response either by saudi or perhaps even the u. S. Now that it seems were looking at transferring military hardware does that mean at least for mal theres not likely to be a military response or a stronger u. S. Response unless Something Else happens. Thats probably true right now as long as were looking at the actual material that theyre sending they are sending additional troops but i think the importance here is less about the nature of the military equipment themselves whether its more patriots theyre sending another couple of 100 troops but it further escalates the tensions between the u. S. And iran between saudi arabia and iran the conditions in the persian gulf its very crowded there are warships of all kinds on all sides and imagine if late at night a young sailor on on deck and when one of those ships on any side suddenly sees a flare somewhere and things oh my god this is an attack were under attack i better respond the u. S. Does not have the capacity for example to engage directly with the iranians to say hold your fire this was a mistake for instance they dont have the military to military hotline the way they do with the russians in syria if they would have to wake up the swiss ambassador in tehran and say go get somebody in the military it could be a very very dangerous moment what the u. S. Should be doing is moving towards real diplomacy ending that yemen war you know we should look at whats happening right now with the saudi use of these u. S. Weapons that the u. S. Is sending that theyre not sending only this moment defensive weapons the u. S. Of course is sending off ends of weapons that the saudis are using against yemenis just this week 22. 00 civilians in yemen were killed in a saudi attack an airstrike on a market and a house more than that were wounded and were hearing almost nothing about that were hearing much more about the attack on the oil facility than we are about the killing of a human beings in yemen so this is of escalating the situation overall across the region or Phyllis Bennis there if i so much. Thank you so much irans president says his country will of course engage in talks with the u. S. But only if sanctions are lifted 1st some rouhani made the comments at a News Conference on the sidelines of the United NationsGeneral Assembly in new york but he reiterated that the trump administrations current tactics are not working. It was very clear that the path chosen by the u. S. From the onset would never succeed so despite these pressures and these wrong choices they kept saying that we wish to speak to iran we have no problem talking or negotiating but we are not willing with the existence of preconditions to enter into talks if america takes the maximum pressure the sanctions off the table and in a way demonstrates it sincerely and gives us the needed trust that with this government we are able to talk and reach a conclusion of course there would be a different set of circumstances and a different atmosphere. Rosalind jordan joins us now from the United Nations has there been a response d from the u. S. To the iranian call. Well there hasnt been a direct response to hostile rouhani his comments because at the hour that he was giving his press conference the u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei o was also speaking to reporters in a separate location here in new york but pompei o did make it very clear that the u. S. Was going to continue its maximum Pressure Campaign on terror because of what he says is now a growing International Consensus that iran was behind the september 14th attack on the Oil Processing facility in eastern saudi arabia and does has demonstrated that in the u. S. His view it does not want to be a part of the International Community of nations mr also made it plain to reporters at his press conference that while the u. S. Is very keen to try to get those persons being detained by the iranian government out of their clutches as it were that the u. S. Is not going to lift sanctions on iran in order to try to make that process happen basically theyre saying iran has to change its behavior before any discussions on a new Nuclear Weapons agreement or any other sanctions relief could go forward of course iran has been demanding sammy that the u. S. Really sanctions 1st before coming back to talks so what does that mean is i mean the french president is ready dying at this point. Well it does seem as if for right now while the work of president. Has not gotten anywhere even though he seemed to celebrate the fact that he was able to at least talk to the u. S. And iranian leaders about having a face to face meeting while they were both here in new york for the start of the u. N. General assembly that said there does seem to be this real recalcitrants on both country sides neither side wants to give in on what they consider core issues and certainly when the you have of the United States saying now that certain top iranian officials and their relatives will not be able to get bases to come to the u. S. For personal reasons where their travel or education or Business Engagement that certainly could be perceived by terror and as no other form of trying to punish the iranian government and by extension the iranian people the u. S. For their part say look this attack on the oil fields and processing plants was an attack on an ally something even called it an act of war we have to stand strew to our treaty obligations and we have to stand up for our countrys values and so when you have both sides and really really firm positions its really hard to see how any progress can be made to try to get them to talk something which both countries have said they want to do. From the nations. Stand in france that Mahmoud Abbas is threatening to terminate all signed agreements with israel if its keep the west bank comes after israeli Prime MinisterBinyamin Netanyahu announced plans for more illegal settlements in the occupied west bank speaking at the u. N. General assembly the International Community to help end what he told Israeli Aggression in palestine. Im not sure im. Not. A week before the israeli elections Prime Minister netanyahu came out to arrogantly announce that should he prevail in the elections he would end next and apply israeli sovereignty to the Jordan Valley northern dead sea and israels colonial settlements despite the fact that all of these areas occupied palestinian territory we reject this plan entirely our response is if the Israeli Government is to proceed with this plan all signed agreements with the government of the occupation and any obligations will be terminated. The Syrian Government did use chlorine as a chemical weapon in its battle for libya that the finding of the u. S. Investigation secretary of state mike payor has condemned damascus saying the trumpet ministration has been working on preventing such attacks or shall i say the regime has been accused of several chemical weapons strikes against syrian civilians during the countrys 8 year long civil war President Trump has been pretty vigorous in protecting the world from the use of chemical weapons previous administrations havent been prepared to do that and the Syrian Regime should know in the world should appreciate the fact that were going to do. It were going to everything we can reasonably do to prevent this kind of thing from happening again now the u. K. Government has admitted to further breaches of a court order that bans the sale of weapons to saudi arabia and peace had agreed in june to stop arms sales to the country on the basis they could be used in the war in yemen under questioning in the house of Commons International trade secretary liz truss admitted further breaches of the agreement she added its possible that more cases would come to light. My department identified errors that had taken place in the export licensing procedure in relation to the saudi coalitions activities in the conflict in yemen. As i stated publicly on the 16th of september i am reserving the apologize for the export license is that my department issued an error i have also given my own reserved apologies to the court britains Prime Minister has been delivered another blow to his push for an early election the house of Commons Speaker says on the car rolls it wouldnt be possible to go to the polls before october 31st while thats when britain is scheduled to leave the e.

The house did move credit. The was. An atmosphere in the chamber. Worse than any ive known in my 22 years in the house on both sides passions were inflamed angry words were uttered for culture. Was toxic role of the prime minsters to unite the country there are calls for Boris Johnson to apologize are dismissed pleas from lawmakers to tone down his divisive language and said the best way to honor the memory of murdered m. P. Joe cox was to get bricks that cops who backed remain in the e. U. Referendum was killed by a far right sympathizer but there was no apology fueling concern this is part of the Prime Ministers plan to pit the people against Parliament Address it the use of language yesterday i am going over the past few weeks such as the surrender bill such as invoking the war so just talking about the trial and treachery it has clearly been tested and work shocked and worked and it is entirely designed to inflame hatred. Only hours after her statement the offices of m. P. Jess phillips were attacked by a man calling her a fascist. Meanwhile in brussels the European ParliamentSteering Group met to discuss the current state of play insisting theyre still waiting for the u. K. To put forward a workable alternative deal.

Back in Parliament Lawmakers voted down the governments request recess during next weeks conservative Party Conference schedule into disarray.

Lets get more now on our top story the impeachment proceedings against president every hines is a legal analyst and former prosecutor for the city of baltimore she joins us from washington d. C. Good to have you with us so 1st of all concerning the revelations about just how far the administration went to try and suppress details of this phone conversation how damaging do you think it will be for donald trump. Well it actually doesnt look very good and the fact that you know someone tries to hide evidence in many instances shows an admission of guilt in and of itself i mean if you felt that if he felt that it was ok for the conversation to not have been hidden undercover then there would be no reason for him to hide it but what were learning bit by bit by bit is here is a president who is completely out of control who is unhinged and in many aspects many people feel in america that he is unfit to be the president of these United States so we have as youve said earlier him connel trump contacting ukrainian president to basically put pressure on him to obtain evidence or dirt or anything that he could find when joe biden who is his leading rival at least at this particular time and in the instances where i prosecuted in baltimore that can also be known as the crime of extortion it is illegal to extort from a person to tell them that oh if you dont do this even if its implicit in it then why wont provide any aid to your country. We also said that what we are basically looking at we have testimony from the ice to get right through the National Intelligence today that we want to reveal to your mind about how easy this impeachment process is going to be. Well theres no legal proceeding thats easy not at least in this country so even though we are gathering information there is testimony as you said thats going on it is still a process here and the way it really would work and its only been at least 3 instances where it has worked in terms of articles of impeachment being brought against a president a sitting president is the congress would listen to the evidence draft what is known as articles of impeachment which are really just charging documents just as if it were a regular crime at a prosecutorial setting and then those articles of an impeachment which are being presented to the senate and that is where the actual hearing or trial so to speak would take place in the senate which is at this point majority controlled by the Republican Party so many dont feel that that much would occur but at the end of the day i dont want anyone to think its going to be a speedy process its not going to be a speedy process we dont know days or months or how long but nothing in terms of the process taking place is really going to actually be speedy reading the behavior of republican members today in congress all they rally is the republican policy rallying behind the president in the way that he wants. Well there are seeing a little bit of signs of breaking there but at the end
