talk about the war on drugs in the philippines thank you for helping us do that today we appreciate your time. and i take everybody. every reclaim news cycle brings a series of breaking stories this maximum jail term has jumped from 5 years to 175 years during the listening post as we turn the cameras on the media donald trump shouldn't be the one deciding who is a journalist and who isn't to focus on how they were caught on the stories that matter the most they move closer and closer to the tire shut down both international and domestic news coverage on al-jazeera it's 50 years since the

world watched as u.s. astronaut lost off on a mission many thought impossible or whatever then marveled as they made those 1st uncertain steps i want to. join us as we look at the ingenuity and those who made the journey of apollo 11 possible . the moon landing 50 years on and al jazeera news special. after more than a decade of civil war life remains a challenge in sierra leone. we follow the citizens of this war torn nation as they push their limits. force avoid. risking years in sierra leone. on al-jazeera.

the story goes that the statue of an ancient greek god has the meat of the waves for millenia. until a palestinian fisherman on earth the priceless relic. the story continues but as the world's attention was drawn to. mysteriously the day it disappeared once again. the apollo of ca's. on a jersey or. the u.s. house condemns president donald trump for racially charged comments against 4 congresswoman. and how his he in this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up. i feel so

honored and i'm overwhelmed. germany's defense minister ursula von the lion is elected to the e.u.'s top job becoming the 1st female president support european commission. the u.s. imposes sanctions on some of myanmar is top military officers over abuses against rank of muslims. and peruse former president of $100.00 toledo is a respite in the u.s. on corruption charges linked to a brazilian construction giant. the u.s. house of representatives sounds voted to condemn quotes racist comments that president donald trump made about 4 congresswoman on sunday trump tweeted telling the politicians to go back to where they came from and he's refused to let up despite growing criticism both at home and abroad like hannah reports from washington d.c.

. without objection the motion to reconsider is laid on the table the vote went largely along party lines only for republicans joining house democrats in their rebuke of president. it was a rare occasion on which all in the house were forced to go on the record in response to intemperate comments made by the president these comments from the white house are disgraceful and disgusting and that comment are racist the vote was delayed by republicans who attempted to have the accusation of racism made by the house speaker introducing the bill struck off the record i urge you to listen to the and you heard that the balance of my house is going to the general speaker of the house if she would like to rephrase that comment i had actually heard my remarks as a parliamentarian before i read them the unprecedented argument delayed to vote for hours many republicans clearly more angered by the speaker's words than by those treated by the president as a general making

a demand of the words be taken down. a request that joe or john want words around parliamentary question to be taken out despite the republican fury a vote was taken and the house ruled the speaker's words should be kept on the record then another moment of drama for the 1st time a formal attempt in the house to move articles of impeachment against the president impeaching donald john truck president of the united states of misdemeanors the move is likely to intensify what has been a bitter debate among house democrats about impeachment more than 80 representatives are in record as urging such a move others including the house speaker have been arguing that it would be better to continue investigating the president through house committees rather than risk a failed move to impeach therefore darnall john traub

by causing such harm. to the society of the united states is unfit to be president and warrants impeachment trial and removal from office a decision may not need to be made one way or the other my kind of al-jazeera washington that you know little and is a reporter covering the white house and washington for politico he says many republicans are reluctant to go against president trump you know this is kind of a symbolic method to show that congress is against what president trump said attacking their own colleagues and so the fact that only 4 republicans voted for this resolution kind of indicates that this is president trump's party and has been for a while that he's taken over the republican party it used to be that the g.o.p. would welcome immigrants and want to show that america was

a beacon of light for the world this is kind of what ronald reagan and many other republican leaders including george w. bush used to say but now that party is more of a. party that is suspicious of people from foreign countries so they don't want to get attacked by president trump for taking a stand against him and so they also fear the constituents in their districts about getting a primary challenge from someone closer to president trumps you know language and also just as vicious as being more of a nationalist and so it's kind of raw political calculus that they are trying to preserve their standing in the local republican party which is more pro trump often and so they are very afraid to take a real stand with democrats in these types of controversial statements.

the european parliament has not only elected ursula vonder line as president of the european commission the german defense minister will become the 1st woman to hold the post when she replaces younker in the vendor john a whole has more now from strasburg. just that approval from the european parliament tight vote means the lion becomes the 1st woman to hold the e.u.'s top job as commission president she'll set the policy agenda for the next 5 years i feel so on notes and i'm overwhelmed and i thing you for the trust your place in me your the trust you placed in me is confidence you've placed in europe your confidence in the united and a strong europe from east to west from south to north. as a german woman and a close ally of angle a merkel on the line will be seen as an extension of the

chancellor's dominant role in european politics she owes her career to merkel and like merkel she's a political conservative and a passionate supporter of european integration. but big spending promises designed to sway down to any peace are a departure and may prove hard to fulfill we must take bold steps to get mrs ford a lion is indebted for their support to opposing quarters from the socialists to the nationalists which means someone will have to be disappointed supporters in the heavyweight center right european peoples party bloc to which belongs brush those concerns aside she managed to get the support of $27.00 out of $28.00 heads of government in the european union so western europeans eastern europeans were supporting her representatives from a different political families and what she also managed to do is together with us to bring france and germany closer back together the french german cooperation is

not everything in the good opinion that sure but without a close friend cooperation things really don't move forward in the european union among the promises. has made is reform of the very electoral process that had failed to produce a democratically elected candidate with her name emerging instead from behind closed doors as the preferred pick of e.u. heads of government and state it's not only far right populists talking about a democratic deficit in the e.u. anymore many other m.e. peas a saying it as well. and try as she might to be the consensus candidate for all her promise of a green climate deal for europe wasn't enough to sway the greens what is this dream deal for europe can you explain that to me i can't well if you can't i can't either i mean again a slogan it's not a program what is it how much in which direction. but we'll be

abiding sense of relief an autumn of crises beckons a trade war with trump and britain sliding towards a no deal breaks it at least europe now knows who's in charge journal al-jazeera strasberg the us government is imposing its strongest sanctions to date on myanmar's top military leaders that's in response to the mass killing of random muslims in 2017 sanctions target myanmar's commander in chief and several other senior officers washington says the government hasn't taken any action against those responsible for human rights abuses or matthew smith is the co-founder and chief executive officer at $45.00 writes he welcomes the sanctions but says the u.s. could do more. governments around the world have taken several measures including the us government to apply certain sanctions against people responsible for genocide this is the 1st time however that a government has come out and acknowledged senior general men on lyings

responsibility for those crimes and that is significant but there is certainly more that the u.s. government could and should do this particular set of sanctions really only prevents these generals from entering the united states but you know it's good news if this is the 1st measure that the united states government will take in addressing genocide in me and morgans the running of people it's bad news if this is all that secretary pompei in the administration are planning to do so we are hopeful that they'll do more and the impacts can be serious this will flag c the responsibility of these individuals for international prosecutors for example the international criminal court it will give pause to business leaders going to mean more in doing business with the me i'm our military or military owned enterprises so there can be significant ripple effects. a british iranian aid worker jailed into her own as being held in a psychiatric hospital after being moved there from prison as an ins

king it wasn't a death but it's still a very exacting standard and it's the rare case that you do get convictions when i was in the department there's an effort to prosecute 8 national guardsman for kent state killings after the cambodian vacation and they were all acquitted but that's what you have to prove not only the acts but a mental state of mind that specifically intends to deprive a constitutional right i don't think it's fair to just pick out a single isolated case and say well the system is terrible because maybe it miscarried on one or 2 occasions i remember that kind of refrain was said we should have jury trials after o.j. simpson was acquitted of charges of murder but we kept jury trial system we are human there are going to be imperfections i don't think we should throw the baby out with the bathwater and see government protesters in hong kong are promising to find its own chief executive kerry lamas forced to withdraw an extradition bill that would have sent suspects to mainland china but many activists say they'll

south american trade bloc mercosur are meeting in argentina for the 1st time since reaching and a storage free trade agreements with the european union 4 countries are part of that you arch and tina brazil parable i am europe the agreements gives european countries more access to markets or. nations including the also bill and wine and astri's it will also open up new markets for the south american countries especially for foreign products it needs to be ratified by all the european union nations and the european parliament but not everyone is happy particularly european farmers worried about a flood of agricultural imports. winery owners in argentina are also concerns about what the agreements will mean for them as theresa ball reports from mentos a province. the valley right next to the end is mountains in the province of mendoza is home to this year's best winery in the world the soil make this location

a perfect home for the argentine my big grapes. of the has been in the wine business for decades he's now worried about a recent agreement between south america strayed block medical short and the european union. are many i symmetries between countries in europe those asymmetries are based on a stimulus that many countries in europe give to the wine industry something we do not have the government wants us to compete with europe but it's difficult because of the amount of taxes we pay here. the wine industry generates much needed jobs in a country that is struggling with double digit inflation rates and the recession in reno. the wire his 2 important things the soil and the people we generate jobs we train people and it's the type of industry any government should support. but the agreement with the european union could hurt to kind of these business wineries like this one export their wines to other countries in the region like brazil their

fear is that an agreement between the americas for trade and the european union would allow wines from portugal italy and france to enter south america without paying any taxes something that would have a direct impact in their sales abroad argentina has a booming wine industry its production standard has reached 5th in the world with exports growing steadily and that's why many i'm looking at the agreement with the e.u. with optimism jeff came to argentina over 20 years ago and has partnered with local wine makers he now owns a boutique winery and he's looking into. and in the business of free trade is a great driver of growth but it's not always an even playing field and so i hope that what the government does over the next 10 years 2 years to get the. the agreement approved and then years of transition for wine that together we can

tackle these musicians competition is good miles back says and argentina shouldn't be afraid of it and that's the view of many wine makers in the country but the sort of piece we present over 200 wineries in argentina and says they have been working for an agreement with the e.u. for over 20 years isn't the sort of that in the government is helping us to be more competitive i don't understand why someone really say the afraid we've been struggling for years we need to arrange many things that the agreement gives time to south america but also europe to adapt to change for many it's the possibility of moving forward in a country with enormous potential but work anomic difficulties have become the norm there are several mendosa. this is al jazeera and these are the headlines the u.s.
