johnson leads a minority conservative party government although he's been able to get support from the e.u. for his latest withdrawal agreement he doesn't have the same support for that agreement in the british parliament he's hoping that by holding a general election by putting it back to the people he'll be able to reconfigure the balance of power and politics in his favor. by securing changes to the law johnson was able to get approval for an election through a simple majority of m.p.'s rather than a 2 thirds majority as previously required labor had blocked a possible election until a new deal breaks it was off the table with the e.u. now offering a bricks and extension until the 31st of january that condition has been met we're going to go out there with a very strong message of how we transform our society to end inequality and injustice and deal with the devastating poverty that so many people face we always said we wanted an election we do want collection but we wanted no deal to be taken

a protest camp in beirut torching tents and chasing away demonstrators. tens of thousands of iraqis are demonstrating in baghdad spurred on by reports of security forces shooting dead at least 4 protesters in karbala overnight. and russia says tens of thousands of kurdish led forces have withdrawn from a border zone in northeast syria ahead of a deadline imposed by a cease fire set by turkey and syria and russia a big part of. turkey has slammed a move by the u.s. house of representatives to vote in favor of a resolution recognizing the mass killings of armenians a century ago as genocide the resolution which is not legally binding passed by 405 votes to 11 attacks government acknowledges that the killings occurred but rejects the use the term genocide turkey's foreign minister tweeted that the us vote was aimed at seeking revenge for turkey's operation in syria. and his foreign

ministers also condemned another vote by the house of representatives which seeks to impose sanctions on turkey over that offensive in syria let's get more from alan fischer in washington d.c. a bit of a standoff here between turkey and the house of representatives. well it's all going to be a couple of years for turkey here in washington 1st of all we had the vote which declares the death of many hundreds of thousands of armenians at the end of the 1st world war as genocide resolution i say saying that the u.s. should not associate itself with the the denial of the armenian genocide now as you say this has no legal standing really in the united states and the house passed a similar resolution to this 35 years ago in 1984 and many of the lawmakers from california supported this very good reason for that is that california has the largest army in population side of armenia itself but there was bipartisan support

for this officially the u.s. position hasn't changed there's no sign of it going to the senate for a vote and they continue to describe what happened at the end of the ottoman empire as an atrocity essentially when this is been brought up in the house before the state department is pushed against it saying it wouldn't help relations with a nato ally a point exactly that the turkish foreign minister has made saying this decision is null and void and then that very short time after that we had the house voting calling on donald trump to impose sanctions on turkey because of its offensive against the cards many people saying that it was similar to what had happened with the armenians in that there was ethnic cleansing then and this is essentially ethnic cleansing again this seems to be new appetite to bring this up in the senate but it shows that turkey which has spent many many millions of dollars in

lobbying against such measures in the past seems to have run a friends on capitol hill for the time being at least and certainly we know again from the turkish foreign minister he says that any decision to impose sanctions would set. only be an insult to a need to ally and would also be very much against the ceasefire deal that was negotiated by mike pence and brought in because of the turkish offensive against the kurds an official thank you very much indeed the top u.s. government official says he raised concerns twice over the president's efforts to pressure ukraine to investigate a political rival i did sound of inman has been testifying as part of the impeachment inquiry into donald trump how did you cast your reports from washington d.c. . alexander venom and is a u.s. army colonel wounded in iraq veteran and the 1st impeachment witness with 1st hand knowledge of the july phone call between president trump and the ukrainian

president volodymyr zelinsky then man was among the white house staff listening when trump said to the ukrainian leader i would like you to do west a favor publicly investigate trumps political rival joe biden and a company called charisma that employed by tin son i was concerned by the call binman said in his written testimony i did not think it was proper to demand that a foreign government investigate a us citizen i was worried about the implications for the us government support of ukraine i realized that if ukraine pursued an investigation into the bidens and it would likely be interpreted as a partisan play which would undoubtedly result in ukraine losing the bipartisan support it has thus far maintained this would all undermine u.s. national security the newly elected selenski was hoping to schedule a visit to the white house and ukraine was waiting for u.s. military aid needed to fend off russia but trump temporarily withheld the aid as

his advisors continued to push ukraine to investigate the democrats and biden. this is about the united states constitution this is about the rule of law this is about national security this is about abuse of power this is about the fact that the president betrayed his oath of office and the american people trump has denied wrongdoing and attack the credibility of witnesses who cooperated with the inquiry that earned a rare rebuke from a fellow republican i think that we need to show that we are better than that as a nation their patriotism their love of country we're talking about decorated veterans who have served this nation who have put their lives on the line and it is shameful to question their patriotism their law. this nation house democrats plan to vote on thursday to formally authorize this impeachment inquiry even though it has been underway for several weeks so why do the vote now democrats say it's to

deflate the republican argument that this inquiry lacks legitimacy because it was never voted upon and to potentially open these closed door impeachment proceedings to the public castro al-jazeera washington thousands of protesters a back out on the streets of the chilean capital santiago despite a government reshuffle aimed at curbing the unrest demonstrators have been throwing rocks at police vehicles deployed to prevent the rally turning violent on monday demonstrators destroyed property looted shops and blocked roads the protests began several weeks ago a hike in metro fez it has since turned into a wind on the rest of inequality in the country on earth in america to sit in human service update from santiago. this is the 12 consecutive day of mass protests here in chile where i made that avenue the main thoroughfare of the capital and as you

can see it's absolutely getting full of people this march is supposed to be about these cities highly unpopular private pension system there people holding signs i'll show you here for example this one says. here be careful my grandparents or grandmother we are here marching for you this one says i don't want to just survive i want to be able to live. that is they say that is because this pension system is being called up 1st pension people are getting a fraction of what they earned when they were still working and even though they paid contributions monthly that decades and decades this is just one of the many many social demands for the pension system to be overhauled that these people are calling for but there are as you can see over there thousands and thousands of mothers holding other kinds of signs asking for a new constitution asking for better education very rare how the question is this

have taken that personally the arctic's trying to take something that we fought for for many years. i don't know that i think that to believe him politicians it seems folly to discount that voice the younger readers coltan in this situation because almost 40 percent of the electorate is age 32nd to have a critical role to play however which way this divide us still president while his claims those have turned against him of being paid in money grades we put that to students there is enough but that is because it's disrespectful to the universities and to the students he's trying to minimize our votes they haven't paid us all given us great yet it was. the leading opposition candidate has acknowledged the role. that young this new knowledge this indomitable spirit has woken up to say mr morales they had to defend democracy and be at the heart of this transformation. but he himself is far from

a fresh face he was president the fool ever morale is ever i believe that's why student committed moralise says he'll stick with a government which has brought stability a more recognition for many of the country's indigenous groups you can find out but it's got a i'm going to have the fight and then when the new coherent candidate comes up with new policies i would completely fight for them but right now we just have. the same old opposition politicians. to all this polluted she's going to control it could still be grown to determine what happens next. john hoeven how does yoga pose. the c.e.o. of boeing has admitted to a u.s. congressional hearing that mistakes were made with it $77.00 x. jet which led to 2 deadly crashes and the planes worldwide grounding dennis miller and berger acknowledged errors in the jet software and failures to give pilots
