denies its forces shot at protesters celebrations in tunisia is exit polls show the main religious party come in 1st in the country's parliamentary election. and hong kong police move into the spurs tens of thousands of mass protests there is defining a colonial era back. welcome to the program a 2nd whistleblower has come forward in the impeachment inquiry against us president donald trump a lawyer who is now representing both people says his client has spoken to the head of the intelligence community's internal watchdog and he says the new was simple or had 4 has a 1st hand knowledge of some of the allegations made in the overage general complained that trump is accused of using his position to pressure ukraine into investigating his political rival joe biden and this son ahead of next year's u.s.

presidential elections trump has repeatedly rejected the of regional complaint alan fischer joins us live now from washington d.c. so alan how key a development do you think the emergence of this 2nd whistleblower is. well what it does is undermine one of the planks of donald trump's defense in this case he has been saying for the best part of a week that the whistleblower is getting this information secondhand that it's hearsay all the legally that wouldn't rule out that he wasn't in the room what we're told is that this 2nd whistleblower actually was in the room whether he was actually on the cole we're not entirely sure but was concerned enough to go to the inspector general of the security services and also air their concern to you and you remember that after the initial complaint. inspector general said that he believed it was credible and it was argent therefore had to be investigated which

is why it went to the senate so this is sensually removes one of donald trump's big sticks by saying this is just someone who wasn't actually in the room who had this 2nd hand he's described the past and who is the whistleblower as partisan as well although he's also asked to find out who the whistleblower is so there is that conundrum of how can it be partisan if you don't actually know who it is certainly this strengthens the democrats campaign you'll remember as well that when the white house was formulating its defense don't trump said release the transcript and the white house did release an edited transcript of that phone call with the president of ukraine and a lot of what the whistleblower said whether it was hearsay or not was certainly borne out in the transcript so this just strengthens the case against donald trump well kind of the reaction of we had either from donald trump himself or members of his administration. well nothing from donald trump today which is surprising he has

tweeted out in the last hour or so simply all caps drain the swamp but nothing about the 2nd was so blue or whether someone has taken him aside and asked him to come down because of his incessant tweets seem to be causing a more problems than not. but what we do know he'll continue to protest that joe biden did something corrupt in ukraine even though he hasn't put up any evidence about the toll in st louis in the supporters on the political talk shows here in the united states on sunday backing up that argument saying that this is a hoax it is the democrats who have again exceeded thier authority and by pursuing the impeachment they are trying to force the president who won the vote in 2060 in the trying to overturn that election but what is true is that under the constitution don't trump does have wide authority. to conduct foreign policy in the

way he sees fit therefore he argues as does the white house that he is perfectly entitled to go to foreign countries if there are allegations of corruption and to force through so he doesn't think he's doing anything wrong and that's a defense that he will continue to push ellen fisher with the latest on that developing story alive for us in washington d.c. allan thank you. iraq's government has denied that any of its security forces have fired directly at protesters during 6 days of violent demonstrations 109 people have now been killed since the unrest began on tuesday and more than 6000 have been injured the violence has continued this spike to the prime minister announcing a 17 point reform plan to try to appease the protesters she has more.

after days of demonstrations across iraq the number of dead continues to rise in the aftermath of the killings iraq's interior ministry pushed back when i was with us accounts that security forces fired live at protesters but could be out and limited and i think everyone knows there were no armed battles clashes or confrontations between the security forces and the protesters but there were wicked and he knows hands that targeted the victims on both sides when we went and checked the bodies of the martyrs the injuries were in the head or the heart it is clear that the shooting did not take place from a close distance or from the area where the security forces were present a serious investigation is ongoing to find out who is behind such a wicked and he miss operation have been scores of casualties as demonstrators vent their anger at a government that's been in power for just over a year the protesters are mainly young men youth unemployment has now reached 25 percent according to the world bank. we the youth are protesting peacefully what do

they want from the youth why are they killing us. the protesters say they have a drop of a system that they say is corrupt and serving the interests of a few they say they don't support any political parties but that doesn't stop the political opposition from backing the protesters and calling for new elections i think this is a case of political point scoring this is a system. issue so when you have parties refusing to take part in parliamentary debates making sure there isn't a core and so they can go ahead this is all so that they can plan impression on the part prime minister i did a bit maybe on sunday the iraqi government pledged 17 reforms covering land redistribution increased welfare payments to those in need and the construction of 100000 new housing units the government launched a program of home demolitions in september targeting the makeshift shelters of the poor ahead of the u.n. mission to iraq has called for the violence to stop in a tweet or of

a few into mash more voices to speak up as iraq still struggles to deal with the aftermath of the invasion by the u.s. and its coalition of the willing in 2003. al-jazeera. exit polls out of tunisia show the country's main religious party that's a not that coming 1st in parliamentary elections however only with 17 percent of the votes that may make it hard for the party to build a coalition government. now when you've been a member here and you did there we are at the beginning of a new period that people have given us their trust and who will live up to it. we will use all of tunisia's political capital in order to achieve their main objectives of the revolution such as the protection of personal and public freedoms their 2nd objective is dignity which requires jobs if you cation and health services national had better has more now from kenya. now it was not

a surprise another party or worse one of the most important political parties is 2011 in tennessee however they came 1st but they have not managed to secure the same number of seats they did in 2014 which means that in another losing some ground the party that came next was the 2nd was the heart of tunisia and that's that's a significant. victory for the before heart of today is it because it was founded only 3 months ago by the media tycoon the brutal killer we who is in jail and this year and this party is likely to shape the future of any coalition in. the the party that came 3rd which is another surprise in the election is the constitutional liberal party of morsi a party affiliated with the. political party of the former presidents they lobbied in been highly the 4th is a coalition of independent candidates now the biggest problem in these results is

that another which came 1st and hard to tease that which came 2nd made it's clear that they're not going to form a coalition government because they are widely considered as an opposing of the political spectrum in tunisia and the likelihood of a political impasse. is really high there is absolutely no down the voters' intent as you continue to send those strong messages of a view to the political establishment in tunis the i clued into tonight many of these 2. political parties like the heart of like. tunis have been severely punished by voters who were made significant gains in 2014. completely losing ground to the president the 1st round of presidential election we saw we've seen the same pattern which is voters is sitting as you are frustrated with the political elite are choosing outsiders the former. retired law professor who is now the likely candidate to become president and the man in jail that we will cover we
