since ordinance. many of the protesters said that they were not deterred by the emergency law and will carry on as before. others so that might stop some demonstrators but the banner won't help end the crisis possibly having the opposite effect goals i think some people with the afraid of bearing the legal consequences and are not going to protest in the future i also think that such a hot line approach is not going to work in the long run most of the dia this group of protesters has been moving about here in the central financial district of going started with a march of thousands now it's pared down to $500.00 so what they're doing is they're bouncing between main intersections and blocking them off after work hours the number of protesters swelled into the thousands again. barricades were built fires lit they then moved on from the financial district the marching mass of people growing the majority the protesters ended up in causeway bay clogging the streets and vandalizing m.t.r.

subway stations and businesses the protesters view unsympathetic to their movement . as routine now riot police came in to push the protesters out most left but small numbers faded into the smaller streets and with the announcement of more protests planned for this weekend it's a routine that will probably be repeated it's got hardly al-jazeera hong kong that well u.s. president donald trump says he won't cooperate with an impeachment inquiry until the house of representatives has voted to approve the investigation white house is facing a deadline to turn over documents to congress or democrats when they will issue subpoenas the trunk says he needn't comply until a vote has taken place and it comes as text messages reveal how u.s. officials want to push the ukrainian president to investigate trump's leading opponent joe biden well an official joins us live now from washington to transfer marks come as any surprise alan. it really has been stonewalling any sort of oversight that has come from the house since it became democratically

controlled at the beginning of the year and this just seems to be another extension of that speaking at the white house on friday he said that joe biden's son hunter biden had taken billions of dollars out of china but again offered no concrete evidence to say that was to prove that was actually the case he says that he has every right to call for inquiries into corruption involving american citizens but couldn't name anyone other than political rivals of any other country that he's asked to investigate corruption he says that he believes the democrats probably have the votes to carry an impeachment vote in the house and in fact over the last couple of hours the democrats have been saying that a majority of house members no support in preachment proceedings against donald trump but he made the point that if it went to the senate and it would have to go to trial in the senate that the republicans would probably stick with donald trump

and that is probably the case mitt romney has expressed concern about what donald trump has said about getting china to investigate the bidens but he hasn't said whether or not he would vote against the need of 20 republicans to flip to the other side and there's no sign of that happening so that is why the democrats have to be very careful in building their case part of the of course will be receiving documents from the white house donald trump was asked whether he would absolutely cooperate and he gave this answer to those outside the white house i don't know that stuff is the lawyer i know the lawyers think they've never seen anything so there they've never seen anything so i just i've been president now for almost 3 years and i think i do this for almost 3 years it's almost become like a part of my day. right and so allan the vice president now also appears to be ensnared in this control the sea or he's been roped into that for

a few days though when donald trump when he was giving his news conference said you better talk to mike pence about his conversations with the ukrainian president but no we have the house and the oversight committee saying look we need documents from mike pence we want to see everything newly to any discussions you've had with the ukrainian president we want to know what briefings you got about the phone calls in may and july and they have said if you do not do this then that would be considered to be a real problem for my parents essentially what they're seeing is that if you don't hand over these documents then we will impeach you and that can happen because what got richard nixon way back in the 1970 s. was the fact that he wanted to withhold documents from the house so while mike pence says there is no deal between him and donald trump suddenly the democrats have opened up a 2nd front and saying we need your documents now mike pence could make the

decision that he's not going to hand over until there's a fool impeachment hearing but that could well be a position that ends up in court this has got to be an interesting day in washington but then over the last couple of weeks there's been no real boring ones never a dull day allan thank you very much in washington on out former italian prime minister tehran's he says he plans to sue u.s. president donald trump's ex campaign aide have allegations he tried to undermine the 2016 presidential campaign in an interview georgia papadopoulos claimed renzi acted on orders of former president rock obama to quote strike a blow against trump renzi has denied the accusations. microsoft assange aside the group believed to be linked to iran has targeted the u.s. presidential campaign the u.s. tech says the group called phosphorus is trying to hack into hundreds of accounts since august including those of current and former u.s. government officials microsoft says phosphorus is also targeted journalists and

prominent iranians living outside iran patty cohen has more on this from washington this is a pretty unusual move but it shows how much things have changed for tech companies since the 2060 election microsoft making this announcement saying for the 1st time in this new election cycle that they believe a foreign government backed hackers tried to get access to a presidential campaign other not saying exactly which campaign and again this is microsoft alleging iran's involvement without actually providing any proof but the allegation is that it wasn't just the presidential campaign it was former and current government officials journalists prominent iranians in america and they said it wasn't a very sophisticated attack of the almost 2700 people they tried to identify what their e-mails were they were able they say to target about 241 of those people but only succeeded in 4 attack 4 accounts being hacked and microsoft says none of those were government officials or the presidential campaign still it does send

a message that things are different this time around the tech companies are sending the message to hackers especially those associated they believe with governments that they're not going to stay quiet. here with the news hour live from london much more still ahead attempts to end fighting between anglo phone separatists in the cameroonian army and without a road map to peace. i recall a reporter from 130 kilometers off the coast of france god in south america as dr friese proprietor explore beyond is a bridge where no one has ever been before. and in sports a lucky escape for the world's most a g.p. champion in thailand will have those details and more. demonstrations of again taking to the streets of haiti's capital demanding the resignation of president jovan eloise protest to set tires on fire and wave signs

reading noise must leave now as they march to the united nations office important prince opposition leaders of the international community to withdraw their support from ways friday's march is the latest in almost 4 weeks of protests which in which 17 people have reportedly been killed. before in this we can speak to at say mean who's en port au prince he's an economist and professor at cascade university thank you for taking the time to speak to us 1st of all get your thoughts on the scale of the protests we saw today. hello i'm mariam to day protests well the largest. doing this for 4 weeks and with this will. will you do close the big and i never seen that really for and in that the street actually there's a lot of people want to be president to resign is niger's. and

government and i believe now you just the population is asking. as you say there appear to be these calls for moyes to resign and people are unhappy about many things but alleged corruption is definitely one of the key grievances hair do you think he can continue to resist these calls for him to step down i mean no hollow he could still stay in power but i think it it becomes very difficult not because most of this most of the suitors in life now is asking for his pearson and there's no confidence he can't even just go out like a public appearance he was it's very difficult for him now to to to to make people believe in else it will burn and that's why i think the test and reason why people are outside asking for is nation are so many now as you

mention the corruption but governance and there's a lot of broken promises and you are a cost of living which is very very high your highest. living is not an end to the currency rate is going very high also 'd and actually we face see the humanitarian crisis and then there's a lot of insecurity about low beings people in urban areas are made people's lives if you go given the. well that these difficulties that the country is facing do you have much confidence that whoever what a replacement ways would be able to tackle the effectively or could it generate a vacuum that could lead to a crisis of greater proportion. due to the crisis in the is very deep it is

a systemic crisis is not going to be easy for for anybody to do the power and to change days very drastically it's going to need time and it's not easy but at least do know and we've. found out he either doesn't have the capacity to maybe he doesn't have the wheel to change things because it's almost 3 years now are all of presidency and is all locked in promises for the last time and i think we we at some point that it which is actually very difficult for us to accept is bags to embark and as i say it's not going to be easy caused the crisis is very deep now doubted time. and are you concerned that if the government continues to stand its ground in the protests as continue with continue to demonstrate that this could lead to further clashes and more violence that people could be many more

people could be injured or killed. that's that's one of the bad thing about this is to bruges now because he used to resisting and opposition do people to speak to us is still bullshit so now are a do countries is boring and the can reply is is is how do you like it very hard time now it's very difficult not of corporate business to teach. in a meaningful businesses in war or to split the force for. hospital so in short i was a very very complicated situation i don't know maybe the. second is one day or i know i'm going to happen but for now it's very difficult i've been staying in my place for almost 3 weeks are asked to go out it's difficult situation there and thank you for giving us some insight into really what is

a humanitarian crisis there in haiti appreciate it it's a needle in was a prince economist and professor at cascade university thank you. well tens of thousands of protesters in algeria are demanding the army end its role in politics demonstrations in the capital algiers followed a ruling by a prominent conservative cleric urging people to vote in the december election voters also backed by the army opposed by the protest movement has been rocked by months of demonstrations since the former president abdelaziz bouteflika stepped down in april a funeral has been held for palestinian protesters shot and killed by the israeli military near the fence dividing gaza and israel the 28 year old had gathered along with 6000 others for weekly demonstrations demanding palestinians right to return to the lands they fled in the 1948 war that created the jewish state gaza's health ministry says 40 others were wounded 18 of them by life fire the israeli military

every weekly news cycle brings a series of breaking stories. the listening posts as we turn the cameras on the media when the intelligence services control much of egyptian media it becomes an extension of the arm of the president and focus on how they report on the stories that matter the most getting an accurate informative story out of there is not a yes they pose a too late we already have the information they're listening post on al-jazeera. it really is the international perspective that sets al-jazeera arts and other news outlets beyond for instance says about a very powerful outing up the plates of power outages originalism is about public service and making a difference in people's lives i'm amazed every day by reporting on al-jazeera and

a team full of hope and ambition living away from home and with the prospect of being old enough to vote in any upcoming u.k. election they will starting college like a sport and prepares to leave the e.u. the result of a referendum they were too young to vote. the fact it's taken 3 years and like it was now i would have been able to vote. like i wasn't able to vote i feel like it's affecting. my vote maybe things may have turned out differently 2 years ago. so you're making it so difficult for us please. stick by this direction of the student leaders are calling on young people to get on the electoral roll so they can vote if there's a general election the u.k. prime minister is reported took wanted october the 15th as an election date so fewer university students would have had time to register so soon after starting a new. she didn't have such a powerful voice but so often that marginalized his disgraceful because. you know

that the new generation of leaders and they should be having a say southampton is split politically at the moment so every vote will matter the student population here runs into tens of thousands so if they choose to vote it will have a big impact on the result here if there is an election and of course here in southampton there is a highly marginal constituency at the last election there was a $31.00 vote the nays in 2017 younger people tended to bhopal labor and other smaller parties rather than vote conservative yet the older generation still go to the polls in bigger numbers younger voters are certainly a significant part of the electorate in any forthcoming general election one thing that's important to say is that as we have an aging population and rates of china. higher among older voters it's easy to over overestimate the extent to which the youth vote is going to swing it in

a particular constituency and that since you know every vote counts when this generation of students graduate in 2022 the impact of britain's plan departure from the european union on younger people looking for work should be clear i mean he would do there in southampton. divers and scientists off the coast of french guyana are exploring waters that have been untouched by humans at diving into unknown depths and collecting samples from the amazon reef what they're discovering is a rich a ray of marine life and as our environment at a 10 o'clock now reports it's all part of a campaign to protect the world's oceans. alexi rosenfeld is dived all over the world but this is something new along with his team he's diving where no human has been before we're now 135 kilometers from shore and around 600 from the mouth of the amazon. it's

a real challenge to diving conditions and no no no one has ever dived here before we have to go through a really thick layer of sediment from the amazon mouth this layer is about 20 meters deep and after that it's pitch black until the bottom there is a deep and complex dive careful preparation and double checking of equipment is essential. so there they go and they'll be heading down to a depth of 110 meters which is so deep that i only have 15 minutes on the seabed and in that time they've got to collect samples and send them back up to the surface and then they have to stay in the water submerged for 3 hours to decompress . they drop down. into almost darkness seen by their dive lights at the bottom they have to work

fast collecting biological samples other divers scan the reef and film it for review revealing a richer ray of biodiversity. the samples are sent up to the surface heads over to pick them up and we haul the moment poured and as the divers stay below to decompress the samples are right back on the esperanza is all manner of life here including all types of molluscs crustaceans sponges and starfish now you're finding if you don't recognize well pretty pretty because this is all easy stuff so very very few people over. here. meanwhile back with the divers some inquisitive hammerhead sharks pass by the decompression stop it is just an inquiry shots lose interest and head off. back on the ship it's time for a closer look at the kind of species that exist here it has been an extraordinary

morning and one that even the most experienced divers have found exhilarating it's really i mean we're we're saving where. nobody is even being it's like discovering a new world it in age when our oceans are threatened by climate change overfishing oil drilling a deep sea mining the scientific evidence the team gather will help bolster the case for greater protection of the world sees nick clark al-jazeera off the coast of french guyana. is already one of the world's most popular tourist destinations but now new york has a new attraction that's hearing in the site is surprisingly it's humpback whales yes whales which experts say are increasing in number of the city's coast over 272 sightings of the mammal last year compared with just 5 in 2011 this insulation explains why. these tourists have come to new york to see a show but not the kind one typically associates with the big city here along

rockaway beach and brooklyn the wildlife is the star attraction. this is the main species that we are going to be looking for today. specifically humpback whales not too long ago whale watching here was a hit and miss affair these days it's practically a sure thing of. it didn't take long at all for the spotters to find what they came for. like. oh ok. that's great news for captain tom palla dino who runs the cruises 4 times a week his family has made a living on the water here since the 1940 s. . now in the fifty's and sixty's and seventy's it was very few where you would see want to year this year. it's probably 98 or 99 percent of our trips we do see whales which is absolutely right in the last decade the whale population

around new york has just exploded there were 272 sightings last year compared to just 5 in 2011 experts say the reason is cleaner water. stronger pollution controls have brought back dolphins too as well as the whales favorite food a fish called menhaden researchers from the group gotham whale have been on board tracking the creatures we develop datapoint simply where the whales are what their behavior is species and we take photographs of those whales and we share that kind of matching profile with people up and down the coastline for the public it's easy as.
