10:40 pm
kind of for the men's race with humidity below 50 percent. higher humidity what happens is it doesn't allow the body to court so our star mechanism sweating and the evaporation of sweat off the body is your cooling mechanism skin is your water just organise your body so the ability to cool and evaporate is important higher humidity you're not a bad hurting that sweat out your body. more than 50 competitors at these championships have volunteered to consume electronic capsules which contain the moment says and transmit is to keep a track on their core temperature during events there are also infrared cameras being used during competition to measure the athlete skin temperature. again these are single use their missions it's the sort of information performance experts can use to better prepare athletes 50 each of races with heat and humidity set to be a big factor at next year's tokyo olympics months before these championships

10:48 pm
team power women transforming lives in her community on and off the pitch able to take their children to school doesn't sell to decision but passion was a teaching it's called women make change his era. new developments in the impeachment inquiry into donald trump a u.s. law firm says it's now working with multiple whistleblowers. again this is al jazeera live from doha i'm adrian also coming. up. over 100 people dead as
10:49 pm
a 6th day of protests begin the process of up. to new zealand's frozen parliamentary elections that are seen as a test for the established process. of walking a fine line wide increasing number of russians living in poverty. a 2nd whistle blower and the impeachment inquiry against president donald trump has come forward and could still be more the person is lawyer has told a.b.c. news that his client has spoken to the inspector general of the intelligence community he or she is said to be an intelligence official with firsthand knowledge of some of the allegations outlined in the 1st whistleblowers complaint the impeachment inquiry centers around accusations that trump used his office to pressure ukraine into investigating his political rival joe biden
10:50 pm
a lawyer specializing in. cases tweeted i can confirm that my firm and my team represent multiple whistleblowers in connection to the underlying organs 122019 disclosures the intelligence community inspector general no further comment at this time live to washington that i was 0 should have written see how significant is this ship i think we need to be very clear about what we're talking about here we're not talking about multiple official whistleblower complaints what we're talking about is corroboration of the initial whistleblower complaint that is that a member of the intelligence community had heard reports at the very least off a troublesome phone call that the president of the united states had with his counterpart in ukraine as far as the intelligence committee official was concerned and was told by other people who'd listen to that conversation donald trump was improperly using the office of the presidency to solicit foreign interference in
10:51 pm
the forthcoming 2020 presidential election however the the reply the response the pushback from the white house and the republican party was this person did not hear that phone call it was secondhand information so what we're having now is perhaps the people who actually did hear the phone call who were the person the very people who were telling the whistleblower about that concern saying what we did and we can corroborate we can corroborate that initial whistleblower account on the concerns that we had about it there was at least one whistleblower one person who actually was how to firsthand knowledge know how spoken to the specter general for the intelligence community but perhaps that's what we're having here is corroboration of that initial whistleblower complaint we don't have it's not as if the floodgates are open and loads of whistleblowers are coming forward and filing official whistleblower complaints all right so what does this mean for the impeachment inquiry well. perhaps not but much to be on the
10:52 pm
state seems that things are pretty solidified already it would seem that the house democrats. investigating these these complaints it would appear that most women have actual ready made up their mind that an impeachable offense may have occurred we should remember that there are different ways of looking at what happened here and then an impeachable offense is necessarily a criminal offense or something that's in the statute books the law and so on it's a much lower standard it's about it's about mr mean is it's about high crimes but what the congress can very much define what those actually mean and so the improper use of the office of the presidency isn't necessarily even soliciting information from a foreign power is necessarily a crime or campaign finance nation because there is no legal precedent but what this is what goes to congress to decide but at the very least then is this some sort of abuse of the presidential office and that would appear to be still going on
10:53 pm
that they have corroborative witnesses however for republicans and for the white house as far as that concerned well look they released some form of an account of the conversation as far as they're concerned there was nothing improper in that conversation it's not improper to ask a foreign power for help in investigating potential wrongdoing on the part of the democrats for example so everyone is pretty much as they were before we had this news a few hours ago al-jazeera she had reporting live from washington she had many things iraq's prime minister says that he'll meet protesters to urge them to stop violent action the demonstrations and 6 day at least 105 people have been killed aboard 4000 injured so far earlier the speaker of parliament threatened to join master ministrations unless the demands of the protesters are less. police for 5 days to monday jobs that a public service is at an end to corruption a number of t.v. stations were attacked in baghdad overnight. i'm ready to go with
10:54 pm
brotherly proteus is stationed and meet them or seen them on boys to other locations in other provinces without any armed forces i will go and meet them without weapons and sit with them for hours to listen to the demands and if this will ease the situation the number 80 to do that has been the coming days in the sense that return we call on halting the protests in baghdad streets and also in the provinces let's go live out of baghdad as there is in non-con is live for us the emraan the un is expressing its concern calling for an end to what it says is the senseless loss of life in iraq has anything happened that will likely. quell as prevent a 6 day of protests. well it looks like the scene is set for another day of protests i was out in tahrir square just earlier that's the focal point for the protesters heavy security around that mobile patrols in baghdad the security
10:55 pm
situation remains the same and what we're hearing now is that certainly within baghdad itself there are groups of protesters that are gathering and trying to get into the center of baghdad what we've seen over the last 24 hours is a slight change in the tactics of the protesters instead of going immediately to the center they gathering in neighborhoods in the further reaches of baghdad and then moving towards the center so it looks like there will be more protests a bit later on that's paul for the course of what we've seen over the last few days not just here but in other parts of the country as well and although the prime minister has said he doesn't mind sitting with the protesters for hours to hear their demands yes and actually go down to the streets to do that and if he does he's likely to be met with a very angry response from the crowds none of his words so far have actually managed to quell the protesters and in fact what we're seeing now is
10:56 pm
a supporting cast of politicians religious parties come out and say we old with the protesters we are anti-government now it's likely what they're doing is preparing for any kind of future election and this is real talk in the corridors of power right now there's a real push the from some parts of iraqi political slighty trying call for an early election and this is being met with resistance from the government clearly but there is talk building that the only way out of this solution is to call for an early election however the protesters they don't see that as being a way out they say it's just the same old faces getting new jokes iran many thanks indeed. tunisians are voting in their 2nd parliamentary election since the revolution 8 years ago sunday's vote is seen as a test of the established parties who were accused by many of failing to solve the
