against what they say is being moved to gain more and more control over their city it's got harder al jazeera on call it the news hour live from london much more still ahead us democrats say public support is growing for an impeachment inquiry into president donald trump or as johnson on the pressure is the u.k. conservative conference gets underway in and he breaks it our land and we look at why lewis hamilton is all smiles at the russian grand prix. the former austrian chancellor sebastian kurtz looks set to return to power exit polls from the country's snap election shows conservative people's party in the lead with 37 percent of the vote a vote followed the collapse in may of course his coalition with the far right freedom party over a corruption scandal donna cain has more now from vienna. a moment of

triumph in courts for start by parliament in may now in september he returns with more votes more seats and he believes a bigger mandate to govern figure later you have no mayhew guns guns here i would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all our voters as a federal government we were voted out of office in may it was a difficult 4 months and today the voters voted us back in thank you very very much for your support and thank you very very much for your trust. contrast that with his former coalition partners in the far right freedom party whose vote share has plummeted seemingly punished by the people for the corruption scandal their former leaders plunge them into in the spring. i think that in general the scandal and afterwards the question of party expenses is going to be an obstacle for the election result but i'm used to carrying some of the around with me but the other

big losers are the social democrats who worked with their ideological opponents in the far right to force this election and have now suffered their worst ever result so this is not what we hoped for this is not what we fought for for weeks day after day and until the very last minute i have to be honest and say we're not satisfied with the result the wild card in the new parliament will be the green party back in force after a period in the political wilderness and potentially in a position to join a coalition with the center right this was an election sebastien court said he did not want at 1st one he said his country did not need and yet in the end one which has propelled him back into pole position to return to power dominant kain al-jazeera vienna. well i'm joined in the studio now by. a correspondent at the austrian news magazine profile thank you for coming in to

speak to us so it was a vote that he didn't want to happen but how my. be feeling now after these results tonight well he's certainly the big big winner of the night i mean he took a big gamble 2 years ago when he went into coalition with the far right was not very easy to sell this in europe it was not easy to sell it at all. and now he has won even more votes after this collision with the far right blew up after 18 months only after a corruption scandal and all of these out of the obviously the far right party have been punished for it but he seems how did sebastian kurtz emerge unscathed well i think you know asked is a relatively conservative country if you look at the election results tonight every region outside of vienna has turned into his turquoise. party colors so he with this conservative and they make ration stamps won over

a lot of the voters that voted for the far right 2 years ago and a part of these voters probably thought the video was a little bit too much benefited from that scandal he denied any of that from this and voters yes clearly ended he was not nobody saw that he was responsible for the need it was also a scandal of the if the far right party leader. himself in that video willing to sell out austria so that was a very sort of shocking thing that quits could use to present himself as a relatively straightforward. right relatively far right of center for a conservative of the austrian kind but that also got him the votes of the far right party and a trend that we've seen in europe you know as the politics becomes more perhaps

more polarized and voters drift to either you know one or other side of the spectrum is the green party in the green party i think got their best result in a national election so far in austria now would they consider forming a government with sebastian kurtz because he needs coalition partners now definitely and i think it's very very difficult for the greens to go into this coalition because ideologically there are big differences between the conservatives off suppressed imports very strong very tough on the immigration while the greens are classic green sort of open minded and it's interesting because the greens made some comments earlier about their needing to be radical reform if they were going to consider going to government with curt's i mean why. is it really something they would consider because as you say these 2 parties is a so far apart they couldn't be more different where there's a very strong feeling in austria on every in every party about the if clearly that

the fire right should not return to government so if the greens make it too difficult for the courts to go into correlation with them he might turn back to the disgruntled and disgraced if india and so i think it's it's there's a good chance that the green party will have a very tough process of negotiations with sebastian quits and we might see a coalition maybe in december before christmas because it is there are so many talks are going to take some time they will take some time for sure but the guys today is more green than it was 2 years ago when it was more. the refugee crisis it was quite difficult for the progressive part of austria to gain votes because quits used the population very well and so did the far right

and now 2 years later you know we're talking about fridays for future of a talk about climate catastrophe so it's quiet logical step that the grades were more successful now they also had a good team and now the big question is will they go it to government also for the 1st time now in the interim in some ways perhaps if they want to build on the result that they have in this election and perhaps to do better in years to come they would be in a stronger position if they were to be in a position in in some way within the parliament in a post to joining forces with a party yeah it's very dangerous it's always dangerous for a smart party to go with a very successful prime minister's party into coalition but if they don't go or you have other options you have to social democrats but they are the last election so they will be also very difficult partner in the coalition and and the far right the us already ruled out practically that they are coming back into government so that

leaves the greens who have a good chance also to put sébastien courts now into this back into the center where his party originally belonged to thank you very much we don't often look at austrian politics but thank you for shedding some light on it for us tessa of it's from the australis magazine profile thank you thank you. well now the united states leading democrats are saying congress is determined to get access to donald trump's phone calls with the russian president and other world leaders this is house speaker nancy pelosi says public support is growing for an impeachment inquiry into the president of recall in which he asked ukraine's leader to investigate his political rival joe biden i mean gallagher has more now from washington and it was an announcement that changed the political landscape in washington the trail of his oath of office betrayal of our national security house speaker nancy pelosi wants reluctant to start impeachment proceedings changed her mind after a transcript of

a call between president donald trump and president volodymyr selenski of ukraine was released president trump now stands accused of abusing his power undermining national security and inviting a foreign power to interfere in u.s. elections senior democrats on the intelligence committee say the trumpet ministration won't be doing itself any favors if it doesn't cooperate with the white house fight us on this i have to imagine they're going to fight us tooth and nail and yet even as they do with the more that they fight to try to prevent an obstruct the lawful functions of congress the more they're going to make a case for impeachment on obstruction of justice of congress republicans and now rallying behind their embattled president saying donald trump was judy bound to press the ukrainians to look into allegations about joe biden's son hunter and his dealings with the ukrainian energy company trumps personal lawyer rudy giuliani himself an important player in the scandal is likely to be called before house

democrats if he decides that he wants him to testify of course not testify even though i think adam schiff is an illegitimate chairman this year's already prejudged the case if you want fairness here we've got to put somebody in charge of that committee who has an open mind impeachment proceedings are now moving at a pace that neither the republican party nor. president trump can control at all of all this is a report from a so-called whistleblower deemed credible by the acting director of national intelligence it's thought he or she may appear behind closed doors soon going to ask you one day for both parties the stakes couldn't be higher republican senator lindsey graham one of the president's closest allies says the accusations a 2nd time lawyer says it's all hearsay you can't get a parking ticket conviction based on hearsay blower didn't hear the phone call right who told which is that lower about the phone call and everything else he says done all right does that. every american deserves to confront their accuser so this

is a sham what's going on now is the single greatest scam president trump is now in the fight of his political career and says the proceedings are a hoax democrats say trump's own words from his phone call with the ukrainian leader in which he says do me a favor though or a clear violation of the law and agalloch or al-jazeera washington. patty call hain is live for us now she's following the story as well and patty a growing sense of urgency on the part of democrats in pursuing this inquiry. there really is and congress is technically in recess meeting they're at their home districts in their home states for the next 2 weeks not these 3 committees in the house though that are pursuing impeachment they are staying put and they have subpoenaed witnesses we believe at least one ambassador court volcker who used to lead the ukrainian policy for this administration that he's going to go ahead and

give them a dis deposition this week over the next 2 weeks they want to hear from 5 different state department officials they're also asking for documents so they're moving at a rapid pace but the big thing to look at here is one of the polls say we're starting to see our 1st polls i mean this is a week that changed everything in washington it was just a matter of days ago although it seems a lot longer that nancy pelosi announced this impeachment inquiry so if you look at polls before that announcement the majority of americans about supported going through an impeachment inquiry since the new poll from the c.b.s. network here in the states 55 percent of americans approve of the impeachment inquiry now 45 don't approve and of course it breaks down through partisan lines but here's the really interesting number i found in this poll although the vast majority of republicans the president's party they disapprove of the impeachment inquiry 23 percent of republicans say that this questioning should go ahead that

could spell trouble for the president the long run because if he loses public opinion it's much more likely his base softens and the republicans turn against him this is a critical period isn't it and also in terms of this reaction from from the white house donald trump his latest target is ed henry from fox news. ed henry of all over the world people are going to why does the president care this much about ed henry i mean if you scroll through his twitter feed it's like dozens and dozens of read tweets about ed henry so for all of those across the globe we've been saying who is that henry and henry is a anchor used to be a white house correspondent for fox news the conservative leaning news channel a cable news channel he and is now a weekend host on the president's favorite show he's constantly tweeting about fox and friends and he had a guest on and he asked the question repeatedly are you ok with the president asking the foreign leader for dirt on an opponent so the president is just going

after at henry on twitter why does any of this matter well it depends on how fox news reacts he is now the president is going after one of their own and he was asking a question that every single journalist has been asking so is the president trying to send the message to all the other anchors and all the other correspondents to not cross him will it work possibly or does this turn fox news against him again you can't really overstate how important that relationship is if you ask members of his base if you talk to people at israelis they tend to watch fox news and that's really the only channel they're getting their news from and we're starting to see a few cracks we've started to see some really respected journalists i should point out ed henry and he and i covered the bush white house together. as actually competitors but he is very well respected in washington inside his network so how this plays out could really in the long run even though it seems really strange in

this universe of the media feeding his base this could prove a critical storm if you will strange not at all ok thank you very much in washington. i think we go to peru now construction is underway on a controversial new airport which archaeologist say could destroy ancient ruins the transport hub is being built just 2 kilometers away from the crown jewel of the civilization much you picchu but the government hopes the airport will attract new turrets to the region as mariana sanchez now reports from chin charile. ruins that speak of a rich history and go once reigned from this palace 1600 years ago this is the old town of the door to the sacred valley of being gassed and to the sanctuary of much of an ancient traditions are still being embraced here today but that may change. less than 2 kilometers away bulldozers are leveling the ground for a controversial new airport that's expected to shuttle millions of tourists to

historic sites more than 200 archaeologists conservationists and some residents. say this will destroy the ruins is the head of one of them being the sacred folly cheryl has culture traditions for thailand but the big powers want to because it's the door to my trip many tourists operators see the airport will be conveniently closer to much of beach and nearly $1800000.00 people visit the citadel every year supporters of the project say it will benefit communities around the airport. 70 percent or tourism and comes from. about $3500000000.00 every year now the population of junichiro continues to be poor and if there is a transformation there will be development some farmers like it believe their lives may change. it will bring development community and country but the cost of development is high opponents to the projects

a heritage will be tarnished by traffic contamination noise and uncontrolled construction is the most but then. they favor tourism by sacrificing a bigger desta my your this is linked to the price of the land would cost $0.50 per square meter before is now hundreds of dollars the transparency of the project is being questioned a prosecutor is investigating 13 former government officials suspected of pollution in contract deals in the middle of this controversy there are. well like these women who think they want more tourists to come and buy their products but at the same time they say they want to preserve the secret valley of the us for centuries women have been deposit terisa traditions. kind of poor is divided them and then i would be in favor of an airport if more people come and make business with us but only if it will preserve our environment and our ruins much of the change of scenery a magnet for visitors will be wiped out activists say at this point they will fight

in court to protect their ruins and stop this project they say will for ever damage part of cultural legacy might get a centrist i just don't be too. much more still ahead on the news hour why afghans are angry at the u.s. response to attacks carried out during saturday's presidential election a controversial project on kenya's coast that's dividing a community and threatening a unesco world heritage site. and then in support wells in australia a rugby world cup in japan will have all the action peter. there's no letup in the stormy weather that's been part again across northern parts

a controversial choice for the conservatives to try to hold that conference in manchester for 5 days in the city their own labor people here don't like the conservatives they don't like boris johnson and don't really like bricks is all it was johnson is trying to keep a grip on the agenda visiting the hospital to publicize a policy of putting more money into health care but what he calls or won't explain is how he will ensure the u.k. leaves the e.u. at the end of october while simultaneously abating a law passed in parliament says he's not allowed to without an agreement with what we are going to do is work very hard to get a deal and then. if we can't we make sure we come out on october 31st but probably better if i. focus on getting the deal rather than discussing the hypothesis of what happens if we if we can't it is entirely the protesters who are on the move over the coming days while the

deteriorating economy and allegations of government corruption demonstrators marched through the capital beirut burning tires and blocking roads evidence local currency has dropped for the 1st time in more than 2 decades people say living conditions are becoming increasingly difficult. lyons and technical thing is it had a dramatic impact on afghanistan's presidential election yes a major voter turnout was less than 25 percent for saturday's vote and dozens of attacks across the country at least 5 people were killed and hundreds of others injured but it's been the u.s. response to those attacks that has really angered many afghans as tony betty now reports from kabul. the u.s. retaliation for the taliban's election day attacks was swift but according to locals in ghastly province a bomb from an american drone attack killed 6 men and injured 2 others because i don't have anything to do all civilians 5 of them were killed on the spot and the

6th one was told to hospital where he died one is my son and the other one is my brother amongst them that was on sunday angry locals protested by carrying the bodies of the men to the governor's house in the provincial capital dhaka was my they say the victims were not taliban fighters i never heard of these 5 civilians were killed intentionally in the drone strike the cornet's were provided by an afghan security officer the people want the government to answer. was going security forces fired in the air to try and hold the procession several people were wounded by the gunfire was an increasing number of civilians have been killed in airstrikes ghastly is controlled by the taliban which prevented voting in saturday's presidential election a low security operation prevented any taliban assaults in the capital kabul during polling but elsewhere the group carried out mortar and rocket attacks at voting

stations around the country that killed several people including 2 children early for car suggests that around 2000000 of the 9000000 registered voters actually voted the afghan government says this election was a big success and in some respects it was people still voted despite the taliban threats and the biometric technology and the vote a very. if acacia measures make cheating more difficult but not impossible especially in the rural areas. the international community wants a smooth post-election process that is seen as essential to launch a new peace momentum if peace is very important election will hopefully provide the foundation politico foundation to move the peace process because struck to be that's pretty important that depends on what the taliban does next but even though we carried out attacks saturday they were not as big as feared and that could be taken as a positive sign taliban are still in a position to some talk and they didn't want to launch hevia talks to block that

there ought to work the destination democracy is important but for many afghans peace is what they really want is the only way they lives can be substantially improved. out 0 a couple at least one person has died after a fire broke out in an overcrowded migrant camp on the greek island of lesbo last several fires were set by protesting refugees in migrants at laurier camp who are demanding to be transferred to mainland greece they also clashed with police more account currently houses around 12000 people but was built for only 3000. now pope francis has marked while day for migrants and refugees with a mass at the vatican the pontiff says a culture of comfort has led to indifference towards the global migration crisis around $40000.00 people packed into st peter's square for the service including like grants and refugees from all around the world. well just

a bit of news from india more than 40 people have died during 24 hours of heavy rain causing severe flooding relief camps have been set up for thousands of people forced from their homes nicola gage has more. entire communities underwater this is what remains of one home in the northern state of utah pradesh to rancho rain proving too much for some buildings now destroyed some say what is almost the biggest problem here is that day by day the water level is rising the water has entered houses as you can see there is. the powerful weather system drenched the state for more than 24 hours affecting close 260-0000 people schools were closed down and thousands of displaced families have been moved to relay for camps it's not knowing how long they'll be allowed to stay. and as the rain came down the death toll went up dozens have drowned while others were killed

as buildings collapsed relief efforts are under way with authorities trying to drain flood waters. but it will sit up temporary and permanent pumps is a problem with 3 or 4 locations the water is being removed by cutting the road in creating channels. flooding isn't uncommon in these areas but the timing is india's monsoon season normally retreats at the start of september intense rainfall in many parts of the country has triggered floods that have swamped huge areas 11 people were killed when flash floods hit western india on those day. the heavy rain can be said to be unprecedented because of this a large amount of water into low lying areas and caused a lot of damage there is the possibility that some people with swept away. as the cleanup continues many are trying to get on with daily lives.
