streets and skies abortions in d.c. for the 1st time in 30 years. but it's all part of reprise cold by donald trump who celebrates america's independence day thousands of troops will march to the lincoln memorial where the president will address the nation there's been fierce opposition to the events with politicians accusing trump of politicizing the national hosey when a white house correspondent kimberly whole joins us now from washington d.c. kimberly we've been just been looking at pictures of. 4th of july parades well underway in washington d.c. but there has been opposition to the president's plans for a show of military might tell us more. yeah and it's important to make the distinction that the parade that is taking place in washington d.c. right now is not the festivities that donald trump has orchestrated those will take place much later in the day this for a that's taking place right now is one that takes place every year that celebrates the independence holiday of 4th of july in the united states or will be schoolchildren school bands that sort of thing what people are rea

special edition of the listening post from washington d.c. we're still more than a year away from the american presidential elections but there are already more than 20 candidates running on the democratic side vying for the right to take on donald trump in november 2020 as they establish their campaigns stake out their policy positions and fight for news coverage among the issues threatening to divide their party is this country's relationship with israel. america's support for israel usually at the expense of palestine has been unwavering one of the most reliably bipartisan issues in congress with republicans and democrats standing with their israeli allies through thick and thin but there is change in the air you can see that online and to a lesser extent on the airwaves we have i would say probably the best relationships right now with israel that we have ahead of president trump's unquestioning support of israel and its ever more hawkish prime minister has shifted the debate. in the democratic party the firmly pro israel old guard faces a challenge from a rising wing of progressi

washington d.c. where we've just been listening to u.s. president donald trump speaking in front of the lincoln memorial during independence day celebrations he has also organized a show of military power which includes a display of tanks and a fly over fighter jets now it's worth noting that no president has delivered an independence day speech at the national mall since 1951 and now if you've been noticing our coverage every now and then we will be showing other american news channels and we just wanted to make a point that left leaning news channels like n.b.c. mess n.b.c. declined to take the speech live that works a.b.c. c.b.s. and n.b.c. also did to air it on their main channels they say they'll air the highlights of the speech later they're trying to make a point that they do not want these independence day celebrations politicized. president trump throughout his speech seems to have stuck to the script he gave an acknowledgement to the military and armed forces as shout out to naval forces and the coast guard he also name checked several citizens he called heroes also gave a

in washington d.c. for a valley to contest a social media band placed on some of the movement's leaders high profile right wing figures and former trump advisor raja stone are expected to address the gathering while anti fascist protesters are also rallying nearby they say they fight to the rise of white nationalism and the far right let's go to our correspondent see he is live for us in washington d.c. to talk us through what's happening there she have. religious rallies all the way. at the other end of freedom laws of downtown d.c. the police are doing the best to corral the enemy and separates the the fall right way for justice from the demonstrations happening over here which is the counter-protests of the bounty fascist nazi fascist activists as you look out there shoot out your races black lives matter social. groups for immigrant groups and so on that's the scene that we have it's interesting though because he's quite a few of these white supremacist rallies not always. build something huge that's going to happen but if you tend to fizzle out i think what they were hoping

back to london after doris johnson who was then the foreign minister had gone out to washington d.c. to try to persuade or trying to stick with the iran deal that didn't work and in the aftermath of that kim derek wrote these these these messages back to london he says that what president trump's actions amounted to were diplomatic vandalism so this issue this story clearly isn't going away whether these new revelations will have as much of an impact the 1st one will have to wait and see but certainly it's not dying down and indeed i mean these are only the impressions of britain's ambassador in washington personal opinions which of course he's entitled to make but nonetheless what sort of impact these mean there insults by and large are they well sort of in pads are they having upon the so-called special relationship we know the president is taking very personally indeed. yeah i mean well this is one of the things the ambassadors have to be able to do if you are sitting in your your appointed country and you are observing what is happening there politically you are feeding your int

washington d.c. on another one bites the dust. exactly this on the labor secretary alexander a cost and this is the background of this he has been under fire for weeks because it came out that when he was in his previous job as the u.s. attorney in florida that he made a pretty sweetheart deal with a man named jeffrey epstein he's incredibly wealthy epstein is and he was charged he was facing more than 50 count indictment for having a child sex ring while a custom made a plea deal with epstein that basically allowed him to plead guilty to soliciting underage prostitutes he was able to serve time in jail with his own private security and he was allowed to leave to go to work 12 hours a day that was exposed by the miami herald and ever since then pressure has been growing on a cost to it was ramped up when epstein was then arrested by the new york u.s. attorney facing charges of running a child sex ring so accosted him out how the press conference tried to save his job say hey listen i'm the only reason that epstein went to prison the state wasn't going to do anything the state came out and sa

from washington d.c. as so pretty strong tweets obviously from president trump but what about the rest of us government what are they saying about all of this because i understand the state department has just had a briefing. that's right the spokesperson more going to talk us was asked about the ongoing war of words as it were between the british ambassador sir kim dowrick and the us president donald trump the question was put to ms or tigris as the ambassador ross still engaging with state department officials or more precisely our state department officials still engaging with cirque him morgan basically said that there has not been any change in dealing with all credentialed diplomats unless and until the white house instructs them to a deal otherwise and so basically the situation is that for now sir kemp is still the u.k. ambassador to the united states it is important to note that when there were a lot of follow up questions mr talkers kept saying you have to ask the white house because ultimately it's up to the president to decide whether to continue accepting the credenti

republican dominated senate well for more on this as ondo is in washington d.c. so gabriel what more can you tell us about this. yeah this was the saudi arabia human rights and accountability bill and it was sought to do just that as you mention seek accountability for the murder of washington post journalist jamal khashoggi as you also mentioned it overwhelmingly passed monday night house of representatives 405 lawmakers for it only 7 against it it has 3 key components number one the bill asked that the director of national intelligence dan coats provide answers to a series of very simple questions who planned ordered executed and then covered up the murder of that's number one it's important to note that already the central and terror teligent say agency or cia in the u.s. has already identified saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon as the one that ordered the murder of khashoggi but number 2 the 2nd part of this bill is that anyone then identified by the director of national intelligence as being part of in any way the murder of the shoji would then be sanctioned by the u.s. have th

washington d.c. let's bring you some of the latest pictures there we go just moments ago the u.s. president there donald trump he was receiving shit i mean been fanny as the visited the white house now they they last met there just over a year ago it's been a range of developments since then u.s. tension with iran the ongoing blockade of qatar all expected to feature high on the agenda as obvious of course those talks between the u.s. and the taliban going on in doha the war in yemen the murder of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi let's bring in our diplomatic editor james bays he joins us live from that white house there so we saw the emir go in just moments ago in the white house and as i said they got plenty to talk about haven't they james. absolutely as you say the emir of qatar has been here several times story during donald trump's term as president of course it started very badly for qatar because in the early months of donald trump's presidency that block a and the suggestion that there were some in the inner circle of the trumpet ministration possibly the truth of the pr

with the color line in washington d.c. this shows no signs of going away. now in the president's driving this narrative with his twitter feed he is but supposed to be behind closed doors most of the day but his press shop usually says that and then at the last minute opens it up for the cameras of the present to make a statement he is meeting with his cabinet in just about an hour and a half so we'll see if he decides to make this the headline for yet another day it's somewhat unusual because this is been really unifying for the democratic party up until the president started tweeting the focus had been on the fact that there was a big division between the far left of the party and the more centrist going into the 2020 campaign now the democrats are united and the republicans are on the really on the defense here but we're seeing is because they're in session they're not able to hide in their districts when a true trump controversy erupts this time so basically the members of congress the senators are being chased from room to room in the capitol with reporters of cameras trying

a russian defense system it is creating a result in washington d.c. and that's why. the ball is already kicked the crisis i think all of the started now turkey and the trump inspiration and plus you know to an extent moscow is trying to. manage the crisis and i truly believe that turkey is looking at some middle way some alternatives which can ease the tension in washington d.c. but i have real question marks regarding how much these new you know measures will . just stop the american administration but for now it worked just as the defense secretary the pentagon canceled the press statement regarding turkey but the real player in washington d.c. is the congress there are 2 miscalculations in both sides one the americans never believed that turkey viewed by as $400.00 system because turkey made a deal with it or started the deal with the chinese and canceled it and the americans thought that always took ebuild stop at some point this was a miscalculation you got an irish point one turkey didn't do thought that the americans will exclude turkey from the f. $35.00 system but ameri

accused them of bias against him and other conservatives alan fischer has more from washington d.c. . well donald trump believes the right wing voices are being held back on social media platforms that many are being deleted that a lot of his supporters are allowed to follow him so he invited many of those who do support him online to the white house not invited the big tech companies people who could perhaps point to algorithms that suggest that right wing voices are not being taken off unless they breached the standards of those platforms now the economist the right wing magazine described those who were called to the white house as aggrieved discontents pessimists and reactionaries zealous ideological and cavalier with the truth donald trump actually praised those in the room for their support he said and this is a direct quote from the president of the united states he complimented them on the crap you think up donald trump if he can do one thing it is galvanize support online his online media operation is very sophisticated but he says the fact that he's got our own 60000000 f

resolutions i canna reports from washington d.c. joint resolution is passed. the house passes 3 bills expressing disapproval at arms sales to saudi arabia 238 vote in favor 190 against the 1st bill dealt with the sale of precision guided missiles the 2nd with the export of smart bombs and the 3rd was aimed at blocking the sale of hughes's needed to detonate the missiles and bombs the bulls had earlier been passed in the senate and will now go to the white house but president trump has made clear he'll exercise is veto and it appears neither house nor senate could raise the 2 thirds majority that would be needed to reject the veto and pass the laws without presidential signature yet this bipartisan move by congress will have an impact this moment congress is clearly not interested in excel or reading american support for saudi arabia in its war in yemen and does not like having its authority usurped by the executive branch when it comes to approving arms sales it's making a statement it's laying down a marker it understands that the president will ultimately get his way but over time i

washington d.c. kimberly tempers flared at last night's debate in the health care merged as one of the key issues. yeah and it really made in terms of sort of the targets elizabeth warren and bernie sanders who were at the top of the polls targets for some of the other candidates what the arguments were between the candidates on the stage in a very competitive tone that really seemed to set the tone for the evening was the argument that this should be something that is nationalized health care in the united states should be nationalized according to sanders and also warned but the other candidates on the stage more moderate in the party the democratic party seem to believe that this could cost the democratic party the white house and 2020 so really expose not just the tensions among the candidates tara but also the fact that there is a deep divide within the democratic party itself of the more moderate members of the liberal sort of mindset in the united states and then the more further left progressive wing we saw the starches in health care also the war in afghanistan the border security

between the 2 sides let's bring in washington d.c. had the european union has played a negotiating role between the u.s. and iran in the past it has been part of the a talks it has the iranians have felt for a very long time that they did have friends within the european union that they could talk talk to and they could lean on in times of toughness that we in the last few months what we've seen though is the e.u. not really acting the way it said it would act when it came to the iranians and this deal how much of that is to do as our guest in tehran says is just pandering to washington. well there's a bit of that but the most important thing here is that the europeans can do something beyond just enforcing or not invoicing saying sions including related to this tinker's seizure what they should do in particular france in a menu mccrone is step in and mediates the japanese prime minister ave tried to do this but it was at a time where there was no real off ramp for the iranians and so it wasn't really. appropriate in terms of the sequencing but there is now an opportunity right whe

on the in washington d.c. for us to gabriel what more can you tell us about these raids and these not arrest that are planned. well they were planned on sunday that's what president donald trump was saying that's what you heard the gentleman say that it was going to be happening on sunday and so far we've got no indication that we're watching closely throughout the country that these raids are even happening which is very unusual so unusual for the government or the president to even come out and say they're going to be doing these raids it's unusual for them to telegraph it such as this and now it's even more unusual that it doesn't appear that they actually even are happening at all so i will tell you though there has been widespread worry with the in immigrant communities throughout the united states particularly in the handful of cities that they said that they were going to be doing these raids including but not limited to los angeles chicago new york baltimore and miami just to name a few widespread worry between with immigrant families that have gone in hiding some of just left

ball stay up and remain and territory remains on these on these bones or is or is there or d.c. this moving somewhere else and if you keep your answers fairly brief please let me stand with you start with you dale ashanti obviously only a political will when will be the mean to executive decided decisions we've seen this at the level of the international criminal court where even state parties to the i.c.c. did not comply with decisions issued by the by this court such as the warrant of arrest for this with annie's. previously president of. bashir so in the absence of political will of the major players at the level of the security council no international justice to be really achieved so hopefully this could be. more willing fully discussed through a political peace process agreement in the future ok if i could turn to you now i'm a has i don't see what's the end point with this d.c. international law being implemented at some stage. yes we do and we think that the twisted logic and the bent justification that israel's tries to sell to the war is coming to an end its colonial enterp

trump in recent days had to call him house more from washington d.c. . his campaign is known for controversial chants but this was a new one. the crowd at wednesday's really chanting center back they were talking about this member of congress representative omar a somali refugee the president has been through she should go back to her country she's an american citizen now president gul trump is trying to backtrack i disagree with that but it was quite a chant and i felt a little bit badly about it but i will say this i do and i started speaking very personally but it started out rather well as you probably know. in reality he did pause for a while for 30 seconds his target the congresswoman says she won't be silenced i want to remind people that this is what this president and his supporters have turned our country that is supposed to be a country where we allow democratic debate and dissent to take place and so this is not about me this is about us fighting for what this country through this should be and what it deserves to be and will say this is all about the next election if

ignored multiple calls to stand committee halkett is in washington d.c. for reaction from there but 1st we'll cross over to dorsey jabari joining us from the iranian capital tehran to tell us what we should make of that video just released by iranian state television. well there and this is what the iranian revolutionary guards aerospace division is calling hard evidence that what the u.s. president this claim happened did not in fact take place the footage appears to show this drone in the strait of hormuz they say the revolutionary guard says that once the u.s.s. boxer entered the strait of hormuz along with 5 smaller ships accompanying it this standard procedure for them to send their drones to monitor the movements of any ships that enter and that is exactly what took place on thursday morning they sent the surveillance drone to take footage of the u.s.s. boxer for 3 hours they monitored this ship and they surveyed what was on board that we can see from the footage that they managed to get quite close to the warship and they said that at no point was there any confrontation betw

washington d.c. just to give an overview of the various stories that we're getting at here out of that area. let's start with the u.s. warship destroying an iranian drone at one of the comment have we had come out of the u.s. . well the pentagon isn't releasing any more information beyond what the president said it did confirm that the u.s.s. boxer had an intervention as it were with a flying craft and did destroy it they did not say for fact that it was from iran certainly there hasn't been any of video or any photos of the device that apparently was threatening the safety of the crew of the u.s.s. boxer but it is important to note that beyond that statement there doesn't seem to be any ratcheting up of the rhetoric from the trumpet ministration about this incident beyond the reiteration that it's up to the iranians to change their international posture and to try to be more diplomatic and more willing to heat the concerns of the united states and its allies. and that doesn't seem to be happening though obviously from an iranian side so how worried do you think not just the u.s. admin

where this is not sufficient and therefore we have always had a standard on the car the so-called d.c. frost charger which allows you to recharge the car in 40 minutes which is a break you probably would do anyhow i'm such a distance so is that right there not just give me the case let's find a half hour we can drive. as it stands the car is saying we can drive it for more than 300 kilometers before recharging many green campaign they say this is not a problem because most daily journeys are only around 20 to 40 kilometers so it's fine for urban driving but out here on the outer band comes the real test driving at high speed. right has dropped considerably it's me who want to carry on. after calling the nearest charger. and that is another traditional shortcoming to these sorts of cars in germany a glance at this map shows the distribution of charging points right now on the face of it there appear to be very many but some people think society needs to think more creatively to make electric cars feasible such as providing charging points in lamp posts and other existing street. that's

jordan has more from washington d.c. . this change in u.s. deportation policy is just the trumpet ministrations latest effort to crack down on what it says is an immigration crisis primarily from central and south america the plan which changed the authority that immigration officers have to immediately deport those persons who are in the country without the proper documentation as of right now they can only deal with people who have been inside the united states for fewer than 14 days and who are found within 100 miles of the u.s. border this plan if it does take effect on tuesday would cover the entire united states and the people who could be affected may have been in the country as long as up to 2 years immigrations rights groups say that as many as 300000 people could find themselves being targeted for this immediate deportation plan and they say that they are planning to file lawsuits to keep it from taking effect these groups saying they're worried that people who have permanent residency or who are u.s. citizens may find themselves being kicked out of the united states wit

show. he will go to mike hanna not like hell or even ross jordan pardon me in washington d.c. same bus ravi standing by in teheran and lawrence lee in london. start with you because obviously your the focus of attention maybe not personally visited the government is that it seems that they are very clear as far as they're concerned of what seems to have happened and now the government is commenting on this. yeah look i mean i think i think the 1st thing to say is that the british government plainly does not regard this as either an emergency or a crisis not least because nothing ended up happening there their version of events which is backed up by the americans is that some iranian boats came towards this oil tanker which reportedly was in carrick in the cargo and that their one frigate in the area has montrose had to intervene in if you like go go in between $22.00 to shepherd the tanker there's a difference of events between the british and the american sides the that the british say that the montreaux spoke to the iranian boats over the radio and they turned around that the america

respond to the 2014 ebola outbreak is joining us from washington d.c. thanks very much for joining us on the al-jazeera news hour so you dealt with this the last time around serving in anime or at the height of the ebola crisis in 2014 how concerning is this latest outbreak not only in democratic republic of congo ending goma specifically but now it's on the border with rwanda as well as cases identified in uganda. it's extremely concerning and it's been very concerning for several months unfortunately we have not seen the kind of international response necessary to stem the tide and many of us who are involved in the west africa crisis bola crisis in 2014 have been saying for many months that the mistakes that were made in that crisis are simply being repeated now and we've been predicting it's going to continue to spread and it's going to continue to get worse until the lessons from the previous crisis are applied to the current one you know we'll talk about some of those lessons that could have been learned in a moment but let me ask you this the u.n. agency their world health organiz

clemons is editor at large at the hill he joins us now live from washington d.c. what you make of what we heard then when his opening marks before the house intelligence committee where he wanted to correct the early exchange in which he agreed with lawmakers description of of the decision not to indict trump taking away the one of the the democrats major victories from this morning's hearing but there's no doubt about it that this theater was designed in a way that the democrats thought they were going to get a big win and they're not getting that and that failure to get that win is giving the white house a very big victory today and i think it's going to be a muddy picture i think. robert mueller promised not to go beyond the contours of the report and that's been frustrating for both sides of this i agree with patty culhane that the most interesting moments have come in sort of yes no moments where he is just responded affirmatively or negatively to something and the most interesting exchange was ken buck congressman from colorado who queried muller about whether the president

supremacists and our correspondent shihab rattansi is at those protests in washington d.c. to talk us through what's happening there shihab. white supremacist rather to lose all the way down the other end. of the counter protest. i mean it's a very good natured about there's a go go party going on there that's a particular d.c. form of funk music people in town saying it will be regulated what's happening is every now and then provocateurs apparently from the other side have been walking through in that full trump ira finale and clearly trying to provoke that most pretty swiftly towards the police barricades by the that that you know the group that was recognizable whether it was dressed in black and they had supposedly just and everyone here so that they then pushed towards the barricades and at least on one occasion as the trump folks were being were being handed over to the police side there was some kind of skirmish between the police and the. last a few seconds it was very very minor but no doubt those are the pictures that all the national networks will lead on because at least it gives

better and cummings has failed badly as bring in rosslyn jordan in washington d.c. for us ross a president doesn't seem to be backing away from his racially divisive rhetoric. well he's not backing down because it's very attractive to his political base and it is a strategy which people argue could help him win reelection in 2020 the campaign of course is well underway here in the united states of course the president is getting a lot of pushback not just from other democrats but also from people who live in allies that cummings district including baltimore maryland the main newspaper there of essentially called the president a rat and said that he was and i'm paraphrasing here the most unfit person ever to grace the oval office so the pushback is not just attacking what the president said but it's also quite personal people again saying that the president himself is using racist language in order to try to score political points and perhaps just as important to try to win reelection in 2020 and how have republicans been reacting ross. well the president's acting chief of staff m
