Hane reports from washington. A few subpoenas landed at the u. S. State Department Late friday evening Congress Demanding documents and testimony from 5 of their officials in the coming days including the u. S. Special envoy to Ukraine Ambassador kurt volker soon after volcker quit his state Department Job this comes just after he and other Top Administration officials were named by a whistleblower in the complaint he alleges the president cut off foreign aid to ukraine and days later in a phone call asked the ukrainian president for a favor a promise to investigate trumps potential rival former Vice President joe biden and his son hunter who once had a seat on the Ukrainian Company board now the u. S. President is trying to turn the tables releasing this ad accusing biden of being in the wrong brush clearing out fire. Trump is accusing biden of getting a ukrainian prosecutor fired for investigating his son when in fact the prosecutor was fired for not going after Corruption Cases look in the weeks and the months to come is to congresss job to pursue the facts and. Donald trump accountable in the meantime my job. Our job is to make sure all else we beat donald trump what does seem clear is that after so many months of trying to investigate not getting very far in this investigation is moving very fast so far the administration is simply tried to ignore congress but now that impeachment has been invoked if they take this case to the courts president says theyll likely force the president to comply to let aides testify to turn over all the documents i mean its possible a lot more of what the president said privately to many other World Leaders could become public and then the congress will have to decide if his words rise to the level of impeachment political aljazeera washington im just here is out to gallica is with us now live from washington with the latest on day the president has been tweeting this Morning Saturday morning whats he been saying. Well hes talking about do nothing democrat savages basically saying again like the miller inquiry that this is a witch hunt but were hearing reports that suggest it isnt just that phone call that transcript between the president on the president of ukraine that has been potentially filed away in a Super Secret Service but potentially now what were hearing reports that that also happened with conversations between President Trump and Vladimir Putin and between President Trump and members of the saudi royal family that question was always raised from the beginning when this transcript was released between selenski on trump but you know the democrats really want to focus on what ukraine phone call if you listen to what nancy pelosi the speaker of the house is saying shes very laser focused on keeping this these proceedings focused on just this one issue but already they say these proceedings are getting way more complicated the role of Rudy Giuliani is a factor in this what was said in those conversations between trump and putin and trump and in the members of the recited world family is also not part of this investigation but the white house his defense of this is that look so many of these conversations between President Trump and World Leaders have been leaked in the past think about australia think about the president of mexico that thats why these conversations were moved to this very sensitive server but that is say the democrats unethical behavior its not what the procedure should be but this investigation these proceedings to to go forward with impeachment are moving very rapidly now by oh this story seems to be changing constantly is there a sense of the white house is on the ropes here and to mix my metaphors here a feeling that perhaps this is a fire that the white house can put out. I think this is very different from the mahler inquiry which we all lived through and reported over 2 years that was something the American Public found hard to grasp it was it was very. It was very difficult to get the details this is a far simpler case this is whether the president said hey do me a favor get me some dirt on a political rival and then i will release funds to help your country that something many people here can understand very simply thats why in essence the democrats are trying to focus on just that one issue and not widen the net too much so the American Public can understand what is going on but certainly it feels very different from the miller inquiry i think the transcript the whistle blowers testimony is all very clear and very highly understandable so i think it is fair to say the President Trump is on the ropes and in fact if youve seen him over the past couple of days talking about this to paraphrase him he looks fairly low energy he hasnt got that kind of zesty had for saying the mother inquiry is a witch hunt i certainly think he feels like he is against the ropes hes against time but ultimately this may be something the American Public decides in november next year when we get the president ial elections or are they many thanks indeed Andy Gallagher live in washington earlier we spoke to Matthew Cooper whos the editor of the king of post he says the volcker was a well respected figure in ukraine. Well i think this is pretty very recent news for ukraine since the news broke that late last night our time and people saturday morning are just waking up but i think this will be a very negative that will be perceived quite negatively craig who was highly respected both in ukraine and on both sides of the aisle in the u. S. He was seen as a positive a lot of people in ukraine say that he was very sensitive to the issues he listened a lot and he also from point of view the u. S. He was someone who could push negotiations and and approaches to potentially resolving this conflict even sometimes when they werent necessarily entirely palatable in ukraine in general this a very highly respected individual and it will be a big loss or i think u. S. Foreign policy in ukraine as well as for attempts to regulate this conflict in Eastern Ukraine well if we look at the whistleblower complaint we dont be honest i dont think it is extremely damaging for older we see that he was trying to help the craniums navigate this very complicated and unpleasant situation with donald trump and Rudy Giuliani this is the news hour from aljazeera still to come on the Program Chaos in haiti will tell you whats causing it and what the people in the streets demanding. Millions of somalis are being forced to leave their homes well tell you why. I dont support action from a stunning upset at the rugby world cup.

While the general public had no say on the way most of it was going to be day but of course the longer it took to bury him the longest taking to the area and people thought they wanted grace look obvious why didnt want to build a National Hero cemetery because they dont want to be near his 1st wife sally who died in 1902 other people are saying its highly unlikely that grace is the big thing here is that this is a mystery because she is not considered a hero she didnt fight in the water and white minority rule so very macabre him when she dies one day shell be buried next to him but in some family members that being so close that someone was trying to make choices and get in place but its home about it was very.
