1:11 pm
started to england but could play in the world cup final. banks in lebanon are closed for the 10th straight day it's adding pressure to an already troubled economic situation which has stopped weeks of antigovernment protests the government of lebanon central bank says that a solution is needed soon to prevent a financial collapse in the future let's go live now to beirut was there a stephanie decker is there steph what's happening. while the road laws continue. now there is a man who's been very frustrated because of course a lot everyone is happy about having to take these major detours through the capital there not just the capital losses but i was reading more and i don't. think you're seeing more on. the how the quote i mean you can see over here all the cars
1:12 pm
the green guy richards we got one man say that people should go and protest in the square is and open the windows because they need to live they need to eat a lot of frustration here and i think going forward this is day 13 now this is the challenge this could boil over as you mentioned also the banks remain closed even though the message from the central bank is that they are going to have the liquidity to pay salaries of course it is the last week of the month with quite a crash and this is why the protesters are doing it is to keep the pressure on the government but it's also putting pressure on the population people who tell us that they choose to eat and call and drink and need their salaries they need to get to work they need to get around the city so it is a lot of frustration here as well but with people who say. fine go protest but go protest in the squares open the roads so that we can have movement they're letting through the army the letting through media the letting through the emergency vehicles but certainly there is a lot of frustration here
1:13 pm
a lot of drivers not happy about having to take these detours around the capital so gridlock on the streets the deadlock in the political arena continues to. absolutely i mean there's been leaks in the lebanese media about the talks going on behind the scenes some indicate that the prime minister saturday had offered to resign although say that he's talking about reshuffling it happen it other reports saying that the president and the leader of hezbollah general hossam is not i don't agree with that so there is a stalemate we haven't heard from any of the leaders over the last couple of days people remain on the streets yes the numbers are smaller if you look at the numbers in the square is not the same as last weekend but this kind of momentum continues so people are waiting for some kind of announcement certainly no indication that there's going to be any sort of resignation of the political elite which is what these people want so there's a there's a big question mark as you said you know this country has come to a bit of a standstill economically there's
1:14 pm
a real challenge ahead these things need to be resolved but there's been silence from the political elite over the last couple of days the only voices really you're hearing are from the street and again even the lebanese people not all in agreement about these kinds of tactics so something needs to be done at the moment nothing is happening in terms of moving forward on those political decisions that may ease the tensions on the street. out sara stephanie deca reporting live from beirut stuff many thanks. britain's prime minister will make another attempt to push for a general election in december on monday m.p.'s rejected his proposal for a poll on december 12th but tuesday's attempt will focus on amending current laws so that only a simple majority is required for an election to be approved by parliament john hole reports from london. because the majority required has not been reached the news have it for a 3rd time in recent months boris johnson's attempt to secure a snap general election was rebuffed by parliament with the opposition labor party
1:15 pm
abstaining the prime minister wasted no time in and saying he's plan b. we will not allow this promises to continue one way or another we must proceed straight to an election this house cannot any longer keep this country hostage millions of families and businesses cannot plan for the future labor leader jeremy corbyn arrived in the chamber after the vote to respond i understand the bill will be table tomorrow we will obviously look in scrutinize that bill and we look forward to a clear definitive decision that no deal is absolutely off the table and there is no danger of this prime minister not sticking to his word the proposed legislation expected to be tabled on tuesday is a so-called one line bill amending the fixed term parliaments act it would
1:16 pm
stipulate that an election will take place on a certain date the 12th of december says the prime minister and it requires just a simple majority of one vote to pass rather than the 2 thirds majority needed under the current law which would appear to offer a better chance of success after all the liberal democrats and the scottish national party have earlier announced a very similar plan they want an election on the 9th of december we are just focusing on getting a general election we'd have to do that with a bill to change the fixed term parliament act which could happen this week triggering the election perhaps at the end of this week and then the election day taking place on the night of december little difference between the 9th and the 12th of december you might think but the earlier date coattails the go. moments ability to push through its brakes it feels and allow students to vote before the end of the winter semester a crucial difference possibly then for opposition support. all that is certain now
1:17 pm
is the bricks it will not happen as johnson promised on october the 31st the prime minister has formally accepted the e.u.'s offer of a 3 month extension with the possibility to come out sooner if parliament ratifies a deal this parliament or a new parliament will depend on whether and when boris johnson gets the election he craves jonah hole al-jazeera london. has introduced currency exchange controls to prevent the flight of capital as the country grapples with an economic crisis and goes through a political transition the victor of sunday's presidential election met the man that he defeated to chalk out a transition plan to raise a bow reports now from when assad s. sometimes a picture is worth more than 1000 words and this one has definitely had an impact in argentina. president elect al one of the phenomena is visited modi still markley in the presidential palace to begin a transition and to calm down international markets on sunday former president

cristina fernandez the kershner who has been elected vice president asked the current administration to care for the country's finances after the it is him until december the 10th just as i did when i had to hand over power please could he carry out the measures needed to help the dramatic situation that the country's financial system is going through it's his responsibility presidents of presidents from the 1st day this year in power until the day they leave argentina has an obsession with the u.s. dollar because of a history of economic crisis and that's why on sunday the government imposed more controls on the u.s. currency the government wants the transition to be as peaceful as possible and that's why they have implemented currency controls in order to protect the foreign resurface argentines were able to buy up to $10000.00 until sunday well now it's only $100.00 in cash or $200.00 if you have
1:19 pm
a bank account this measure has shocked many here on the streets because they say that they rely on the fewest dollars in order to preserve their savings in times of economic crisis but not everyone was happy with the news got him in my chain eyes from peru and has been living in argentina for 18 years. and all the little and i have to send to my mother is sick of her and i need to send money and i can't get it it's like they're telling us i want us to leave maggie and for the members have agreed on a transition team that will discuss measures to stop the economy i think what the government is now doing is preparing itself for an orderly transition so it doesn't want to be accused also as. it's going to be the largest opposition it doesn't want to be accused of handing over government without any resources and i think from a political standpoint in talking to members of the cabinet in the campaign the mockery administration wants to say we're different we're different in everything
1:20 pm
that we do we're not going to leave government where we founded in 2015 we're going to do everything we can to give you the best chance of succeeding for arjun tides and so the measures are temporary for 90 days like most of the measures that mockery has taken since the primaries in august so the question then becomes what does alberta fernandez to afterwards. argentina is struggling with inflation and has lost $22000000000.00 of free service since august. stability is the one thing that all political parties seem to be longing for until december 10th that's when the new president will be sworn in. the biggest protests in a generation show no sign of letting up in chile that's even after president sebastian pinera replaced a 3rd of his cap on us in response to days of demonstrations security forces clashed again with protesters tens of thousands of people marched through the

1:33 pm
a vote this week on whether to formalize the impeachment investigation the move is in response to complaints from trump that the process is illegitimate kristen salumi reports now from washington. this is been a main talking point for republicans that the impeachment is a sham because house lawmakers have yet to take a formal vote authorizing the hearings in fact last week a group of republican lawmakers stormed a hearing room where a witness was giving evidence saying that it was being done in secret even though republicans were taking part in the process because the hearing wasn't out in the open they were in open to the public they were critical of that last week a federal judge actually refuted this claim and sided with democrats saying that they were well within their rights to hold these hearings that this had been done before prior to a formal vote on an impeachment but the administration is appealing that decision and nancy pelosi says that while it is
1:34 pm
a baseless excuse she's attempting to take that excuse away from the republicans and not give them reason to justify withholding documents and preventing witnesses from cooperating now the white house may still try to claim that witnesses have immunity and don't have to testify democrats have been dealing with that by taking them to court and trying to get it resolved there but that's a process that's likely to take months to resolve so by changing their tactics democrats are saying that they are just going to use this as evidence of the administration trying to obstruct justice and bolster their case for impeachment rather than trying to fight to get the witnesses in front of them. according to his prepared opening statement u.s. army lieutenant colonel alexander than been will testify that he didn't think it was proper to demand that a foreign government investigate a u.s. citizen he was also worried about the implications for the u.s. government support of ukraine his statement goes on to say that i realize that if
1:35 pm
you crane pursued an investigation into the bidens and prisma it would likely be interpreted as a partisan play which would undoubtedly result in ukraine losing the bipartisan support that it's maintained this would undermine u.s. national security scott lucas is a professor of united states national politics at the university of birmingham he joins us now via skype from birmingham in the u.k. scott good to have you with us once again what will vinda man's testimony mean for the impeachment inquiry today should the president be worried. oh yes the president will be very worried probably because of what we get from the opening statement and that is then man as you said says that there is a campaign by trump's advisers this would include trump's attorney rudy giuliani and that this campaign which eventually included the blocking military aid to ukraine was a threat to u.s. national security now that in itself is very damning but what is doubly damning is
1:36 pm
venomous position he's the top official on the u.s. national security council for ukraine he was one of the white house officials who probably spoke with the cia official who brought the formal complaint in august that started this process and eventually started the impeachment inquiry because denman heard the phone call between donald trump and the ukrainian president vladimir is a once in july 21st in which trump raised the matter of the investigations so the republicans and trump cannot say this is hand information and on top of that the man is a decorated veteran a ukrainian american that has served in the military forces is a latina colonel so he can't be dismissed as trump has done with the other witnesses as a radical an elected bureaucrat so this could be very damaging to the president but trump himself says that the whole process is illegitimate this is. well i think it
1:37 pm
you have to look at the fact that trump will say that any process is a legitimate because he's trying to save his position he did this with the trump russia affair where he continued to say it was a hoax and a witch hunt despite eventually substantial evidence of his campaign's links with russia and trumps obstruction of justice he will say it about the ukraine he will say it about his tax and financial affairs the only defense donald trump knows is a good oftens the problem for trump is is that the weight of evidence and that the officials who are bringing the evidence because now we have almost a dozen who testified to house committees that is a much taller mountain to climb than even the point of the trump brush of hair in terms of witnesses is vinda been about the biggest we're going to get here could we expect further damaging depositions from from other witnesses. no as dramatic as this highly if you go even further for example charles copperman who was the deputy national security adviser is holding out against testifying to the committee and trying to defy a subpoena john bolton the national security adviser may be subpoenaed by pompei of
1:38 pm
the secular state might be subpoenaed so in other words there's a competition here the white house is continuing to try to block this inquiry they have failed to a significant extent they are still succeeding with some witnesses but in the end how high will this go in terms of the taking of testimony before we get the full vote on impeachment which will probably take place about the end of this year in the house of reps. always good to see professor many thanks indeed scott lucas there. in 2050 in the deadliest bomb attack in modern tie history happened at a popular shrine in bangkok killing 20 people the trial began of the military court but the change in government that it can now be transferred to civilian to the civilian justice system there's concern though that that will lead to further delay and a serious way hey reports from the thai capital. the era one shrine is one of the busiest religious sites in bangkok in the heart of the city shopping district it's popular with ties and tourists on
