president and republicans have painted this inquiry as a sham accused democrats of not following procedures because they haven't held a formal vote to have an impeachment inquiry but the judge said that was incorrect that there was ample case history to allow the agree to go forward. as of next month u.s. airlines will be banned from flying to every cuban airport except havana it's the latest step by the white house to undo the easing of restrictions on donald trump's predecessor barack obama the u.s. transportation department says it's a consequence of cuba's quote ongoing repression of its people and its support for them as well as government. now the family of a young vietnamese woman has come forward fearing she was among the 39 people found dead in a container truck east of london relatives of the 26 year old say they haven't heard from her since receiving distressing text messages and which she describes suffocating british police have not confirmed either the identities or the

know that already the forecast across the south and the southeast united states is . fun sliding through this is what this cloud is and a lot of moisture coming up from the gulf of mexico however where we need the rain is out towards the west how much is above the average through much of california animals very hot and dry up to the north so those fires continuing to burn well we have got those snow and much colder piling down here from the northern rockies and look at this on saturday 22 celsius in denver and then the system works its way further south it really brings in this very very cold on the temperature is actually at vero at best so a drop of 22 degrees in one day and this is well below the average for this time of year meanwhile the rain continuing across the east pushing through eastern seaboard so a wet sunday in new york with a high of 19 degrees celsius and no claims of rain showers across much of the caribbean sunny quite heavy at times through much of the bahamas elsewhere we've got a lot of cloud in the picture some rain pushing into today and again southern mexico

seeing some fairly heavy amounts of rain there's a disturbance we're watching in the bay of a compete for that will be moving into the gulf of mexico through sunday but still the rain showers a piling down to the south and a very white day particularly in panama with a high the 29. china is calling all the time i want to reunify with the my. bike the consequences one of this to get to taiwan's determination to remind depend on al-jazeera. and that has to hold on to whether someone is going for some of those for it doesn't matter we need to think it's how you approach a fictional or not that is a certain way of doing it to contest. the story and find out.

and again i'm here today and a lot of our top stories this hour at least a sassy people have been killed in the latest major bout of violence during protests in iraq thousands rallied in several cities rejecting the prime minister's promise for reform and calling for political change. president says he has heard the message after more than a 1000000 people turned out in protest against his government security forces moved in on the huge crowds in santiago firing water cannon and tear gas. on the house judiciary committee and the u.s. in west has been granted unrestricted access to robert well as reported to russian interference in the 26 day an election democrats demanded it as part of efforts to

we actually had big hopes that the government would answer all our questions but the information was being given as almost nothing to what we already known. the report highlights problems with boeing's anti stall software known as m cas it's also implicated in a similar crash in ethiopia in monch which led to the grounding of the max fleet worldwide it's significant because it sort of reaffirms that boeing does share responsibility for this for the way they designed the in care system which is the maneuvering characteristic saying that basically took control of way from the pilots in the pilots were having to fight the airplane pilots flying the line the jets had reported problems the day before it crashed and they say it should have been grounded for further tests that's how much money our field safety is not yet the core concern in indonesia except for the flag carrier airlines i'm worried

about the private aviation companies because even though on paper they're checked by safety inspectors accidents keep happening boeing has already paid a high price for 2737 max crashes within 5 months its chief executive was fired and the company's income has hogged engineers have been foods to redesign software and boeing needs to convince aviation regulators the grounded jets all safe to take off again victoria gate and be al-jazeera. now business owners in nigeria are complaining they've lost hundreds of millions of dollars since the government closed a border crossing with neighboring between what are to say they're trying to stop any from being smuggled in at all address reports on the nasty side effects of these trucks have been stuck here at the nigeria binny border for 2 months. court by a sudden change of government policy they're not allowed to go forward and can't go

there are. plenty of big broader. have been exploited by some books and therefore we have a duty and responsibility to engage in legitimate actions that would be. better secure our people and more importantly stimulate the stand only for our people. the port of call in bend in is 120 kilometers from lagos nigeria officials say many goods from coated or smuggled past customs inspectors summer is the busiest of nigeria's border towns connecting the port city of course to know in been a problem with the country's commercial capital lagos business to be a very important trading point for imported goods especially right now in this market i mean there is little projects it's not you know closed its borders the government hopes that shutting down the borders will stop because from smuggling

illegal goods into the country. the security clampdown as forced up the prices of goods in markets and there are shortages in some places the government says the measures will grow nigeria's economy in the long term. officials say in the 1st 3 weeks of the border closures revenues from import duty went to by more than 5 percent but that left many nigerians concerned about rising cost of food stuff. we don't get regular supplies of food stuff here in semi no food is getting in across the border and no food reaches us here from lagos we are in a fix the government says it wants to stop smugglers and criminals who pose a bigger threat to the country and its economy and all keep the borders closed for now comedy agrees al-jazeera. how long the nigeria i've been in border now the u.s. has imposed sanctions on zimbabwe's state security minister accusing him of involvement in gross human rights violations secretary of state like washington is

troubled by the government's use of violence against protesters and opposition leaders it's likely to further anger supporters of the ruling zanu p.f. has been demanding an end to long running international sanctions. 8 people have been killed and 2 injured after a russian soldier opened fire on his fellow servicemen it happened at a military base near the eastern city of sita the suspect who said to be suffering a nervous breakdown is in custody the european union has agreed to britain's request for another extension but didn't set a new departure date this will give britain's divided parliament more time to decide on prime minister barak's johnson's call for a snap election on december 12th johnson hopes to win a majority and to pass the divorce deal he reached with the leaders last week lawrence lee has the latest from london. well if you think the bricks it's ridiculous some afraid i'm here to tell you that it has now entered the realms of

the completely absurd bars johnson the prime minister has demanded but whether or not parliament back and vote through his breakfast deal agreed with the european union the next week or 2 he says there must be a general election in the u.k. on december the 12th and the opposition labor party having insisted for months that there must be an election is now saying it coal supports that election on december the 12th unless and until a no deal bracks it is ruled out by the european union to date anyway because it's in the depths of winter and difficult for people to vote in rural parts of the country and so on and so in just the same way that the european union is saying it can't guarantee an extension to breakfast until it knows what the u.k. wants to do so the u.k. parliament is saying it counts agree on anything until it gets the extension from the european union so the 2 sides are in this ridiculous standoff with each other so on monday when all this is going to come to

a vote if as you like at the moment the government loses the votes on the election on december the 12th boris johnson's government has threatened simply to back all its toys up and walk away and not take part in any sort of government business other than asking over and over again for an election on december the 12th which is that so a number of commentators accusing boris johnson acting like a spoilt petulant child all of this is obviously got to come to a head or come to a conclusion anyway by next thursday october 31st which is the current deadline and so since the european has a letter asking for an extension by then you have to assume it's going to get it but honestly the view from europe i think must be that the politicians here are behaving as much like children as anything else. now the number of electric screeches has skyrocketed in paris and with it an unexpected job fishing them out of the river sen over the course of 3 hours this team pulled 15 modern algae covered screw says out of the water where possible they recycled this crude as can

joining forces to push american baseball's youngest team the nationals to victory. it's been a long time since a baseball team has given washington this much to celebrate the all senators team last competed in the world series in 1933 when the country was in the grips of the great depression but even during postwar prosperity and the senators were lousy fans still turned up now with impeachment looming and the airwaves loaded with accusations of political witch hunts and fake news i think any time you get a daisy sports team doing well it really elevates the city and we could always use a little bit of unity in this place i think it's bobby but closer to get there you know and that they are winning they can. go rob or something in common hot bats and the joys of seeing in the team anthem baby shark are giving exhausted washingtonians a reason to smile now this is

a story about celebrating washington's unity but my producer reminds me that we need to remain bipartisan isn't that right chris. rosalyn shorten al-jazeera washington. on saturday for chris and the nationals fans game 3 is not going well for the home team and visiting chased an astros up 4 to one in the bottom of the 7th that washington still needs the best of set. series 2 games to none. and you can also find much more on our web site the address for that is out there at dot com. and again this is out of there and these are the headlines at least f.s.e. people have been killed and the naysayers to major bouts of violence during protests in iraq thousands rallied in several cities rejecting the prime minister's

promise for reforms and calling for political change. chile as president says he's had the message after more than a 1000000 people turned out in protest against his government security forces moved in on the huge crowds in santiago firing was a can and tear gas money or power has moved from the capital friday was an eventful day not only in santiago but in other parts of the country involved but i saw at the national congress protesters attempted to storm the national congress it erupting a session of of representatives sending every everyone home is a big concern with so many people out on the streets well over a 1000000 people out on the streets on the 7th night of a military and forced curfew is that things will remain peaceful this is been one of the reasons people been so angry over the course of the past week since the unrest began has been the heavy handed response from police and armed forces with used tear gas water cannons and even live ammunition to to disperse the crowd the

u.n. says it supports an order to have been levy is disputed election results amid allegations of fraud is have blocked streets and that fire has in the past calling for they have a right to be respected the u.s. president and colombia have called for bolivia to hold the runoff vote the electoral tribunal confound the controversial reelection of president evo morales. the u.s. house judiciary committee has been granted unrestricted access to robert miller's report into russian interference in the 2016 election democrats demanded it as part of efforts to build an impeachment case against donald trump and anti-government protesters in lebanon's capital have clashed with supporters of hezbollah riot police were brought in to try to defuse the situation has been is a political armed movement and is part of prime minister saad hariri is coalition government its leader hassan nasrallah warns that if the government falls there could be a civil war all those are the headlines the news continues here on al-jazeera after

one o one east do stay with us. on account of the cost of africa opens up its borders in the hope of it relating the success of the european union nigeria shuts its borders blaming smuggling and tax evasion plus airport expansion and the creation of a regional media hub counting the cost on al-jazeera. that's the winds of forming in taiwan. for 70 years tall we need to live under self rule but now china is calling on the island to reunify with the mainland or face the consequences knowing it would hurt our own who were finger to. be almost certain. d.d.r. you see you don't if china is willing to use a miniature e means to go against taiwan i think the people understand that they're fighting

the good china is the ultimate way to go. what i want to investigates taiwan's results remain independent in the face of china's growing determination to regain control. of a new generation of taiwanese nationalists dark want to sing along to a true written by communist china. leading the charge. front man of band. independence activist from flying in china. also used to be

a member of taiwan's. i. have a close to the so-called red line to cross with my taiwan declaring independence is to invite military invasion now the communist leaders and by confronted by death metal diplomacy. i tried to lead china and the world understand it was the young people in taiwan thinking maybe it will peace china all. pretty lame just the political power of a generation that increasingly identifies themselves as taiwanese not chinese.

silden to the back of a 2014 mass protest called the some movement students fearing by james influenced successfully the government plans to close a tri ties with china. to 2014. move. these shows taiwanese young people would never want to be a part of china in the future. i . wasn't like you to be that. people. i feel that i. feel that i can change the world. with me.

some of the taiwanese based final preparations for a very different kind of. leap. trailed by taiwan's military is a full dress rehearsal for catastrophe. fighting off and by china's people's liberation army. taiwan's being selfless 70 years since chiang kai shek and its national army fled here after losing china's civil war to the communists. about aging be on an easy unfinished business.

let's just leave conscription is being replaced by fish and old force pilots seems some of the next gen troops does appeal to. much of the air is now outdated the troops outnumbered. the u.s. is promising billions of dollars worth of you tanks fighters and missiles but they'll still be no match for china. china is building warships and i'm the president of rights for peace time and it's night he is now challenging us dominance these wars.

this is all about showing by using the list i ever did really. it would be brutal it would be bloody and there would be a massive economic and political process but this is just one aspect is also the hearts and minds and the reason i've come here is to answer the question do the people of the cylons have the will to keep standing china's pressure. these guys rock stuff ready and lose to a very different. it's campaign season he's up for re-election in 2020 and needs to reach the generation gap. i think. there's no doubt it's only. you i don't even you know do you know i don't know i

don't think i hope you don't mind i really i think most of the young people recognise those i'm a singer in a rock band and all their citizens may recognise maybe a politician as an independent radio scott of the coalition that supports the democratic progressive party the government is the balancing support for independence with the diet consequences of pushing china. so just so you see joseph who is taiwan's foreign minister if you believe in democracy i think the people here already say we are not interested in unification with china but of course we understand our responsibilities in preventing war from taking place on our part in the current government ever since 2016 when we took over we are taking

a very prudent approach toward china we tried to prevent china. from having on the skews to go after taiwan miniature really. a little on the streets of the capital type high a reminder taiwan's to secure a little. least since the wall and the island still pays for chinese attack can you lay right bills now have an emergency china's growing arsenal of missiles could have literally the city with just a few minutes warning. this is really eerie i'm going

to cite discussing the trial forces just so you are going to tell when they say right sorry again literally the tropical storm or a big part of driving everybody inside when they are being told by the place that we need to go inside as well live in you exactly. genuine ryan collets police woman spells out the rules. get. out that. lightning rod experience this is pretty it was take it pretty seriously can you explain. a little bit of a loop that public parents can find peace love and live day.

after. half an hour we'll create sounds and life for most goes. very good to see you this is quite an office. expected. david bowie on the wall yeah i tried to remain as a musician to study liam has taken an unconventional path to politics aside from his definitely he also led amnesty international in taiwan. so you've got a rock star background. on your wall what on earth do you think in beijing they make it. i don't think they're like me. pretty lame says the immediate threat comes not from beijing soldiers storming out

these pictures telling taiwan's open briefly in the media i know nothing i. know as a member of parliament staff and some security committee he warns some news outlets with links to china this week push a defeatist message that unification is inevitable. i worry about it very much especially in the last 2 or 3 years that i can see the media who got billions of dollars from china they tried to brainwash taiwanese people and tried to. make images on china they tried to avoid to people to know what happened in tibet and. in the course of last year we have seen the chinese is also engaged in this information campaign against various government

institutions to create these try. just in the government and to create a distrust in the democratic institutions isn't working. we warry because it's being deeply entrenched. there's no doubt that is why gene and intense hearts and minds can find here where according to the taiwanese weapons of fight news and lots of mine land cash especially in the context i want to call is a former canadian intelligence officer who stepped out of the shadows this is now at a high priced security and it's a huge intellectual challenge you know it's a try to connect the dots and make sense of what's going on. this information is certainly an area where the chinese are been very you know constant farms are called the males that employ individual.
