can come out of 17 years of a brutal dictatorship and become the most developed nation in latin america there are major impacts already being felt currency devaluation a decline in chile and stocks speculations financial speculation that's widespread and these protests are ongoing not only are we expecting more demonstrations to take place in the chilean capital today from workers there are protests that are specific to a whole host of social problems social ills within the chilean economy insulate chile and social structure from education health care pension reform minimum wage a whole host of problems each day there will be protests taking place addressing every one of these issues so we're expecting demonstrations once again to begin today and demonstrations to be taking place throughout the course of this week peter but well thanks so much.

prime minister has been asked to stay on as the temporary could take or until a new government is formed michelle obama's request follows tuesday's resignation of the prime minister. he's leaving ended the coalition government that's been rocked by nearly 2 weeks of protests lebanon's army has stepped in on weapons today to clear roads that have been barricaded by demonstrators calling for the ruling elite to step down so far there's been no protests across the country let's get more now from 0 holder who's been covering the leadership changes from beirut so in a good to talk to you again what's the reaction like on the street there. well as you can imagine they're considering this a victory one of their demands was that the coalition government is toppled but the political crisis is far from over there really their demands has not been met in full because what they want is a new government which is going to be made up of technocrats people who are not affiliated with any political party and this is what sort of how do you do the prime minister was trying to do he failed to reach

a consensus with his coalition partners in government and that's why he resigned so now he's been asked to stay on as a caretaker prime minister what we're waiting for is for the president to set a date in order for him to start consultations with parliamentary members in order to choose a new prime minister the very fact that he still has not set a date is an indication that there are behind the scenes negotiations between the different political parties to right try to reach a deal because there's uncertain days ahead 1st of all it's very difficult to replace someone like he is considered the leader of the suddenly community and this post the prime minister is reserved for a muslim said according to leaven on sectarian based political system of government and he will not return to power unless there is an agreement that. it will be a technocrat government now if the hezbollah led alliance and the ruling coalition the side fine we don't need you we will name another sunny an ally of ours that

hezbollah risks you know isolating lebanon because hezbollah is under u.s. sanctions just like it's patron iran and so if the government is dominated by hezbollah without a partner like heidi then the lebanese government as a whole could be sanctioned by the united states so difficult choices political attentions really holding talks behind the scenes to try to find some sort of a deal could be the beginning of the end though however is enough for the political elite in as much as some of the analysts we've been talking to in the past 2 weeks of also the same thing that mr hariri was a shield for those members of the political elite and if he chose to leave to go or if he was got rid of their days are numbered as well. well he was a shield in the sense that the west continues to deal with lebanon continues to provide aid continues to invest in this country because if there's a hezbollah dominated country or government then it will be sanctioned by the

united states so in that way he is a shield but otherwise these are politicians who will not give up power because this is a question of an existential threat to them these are political parties who survive by exploiting the state's resources using the state's resources to provide support to their own communities their own sect in order to remain in power so overthrowing the political elites will not be easy and people are under no illusion that this can happen overnight they say that this is going to be a rather a long struggle in order for radical change to happen zain thanks very much in the reporting live from beirut. iraq's prime minister. is under growing pressure to resign in the wake of days of antigovernment protests he along with the president of the speaker of the parliament will hold talks later to try to find a way out of the crisis and discuss possible names for a new prime minister the influential shia cleric. his resignation on tuesday

tens of thousands came out into the streets spurred on by reports of security forces shooting protests has been called into the house the latest now from the iraqi capital baghdad. defying curfew when work and life government and party building up the last writer of the 3 were here on a tunnel underneath tucker here where the people here are facing the sidewalk reading flowers now the role of me is the political maneuvering. russia circus. and find a way out of crisis a source in. the prime minister either i think the president speak or of the parliament they. are going to be on one day. possible solution. they may have reportedly also. the successor to

a series of are born robert reich or not he has. the momentum on. the day he may want. to resign and to call in sick days monitored by. the that there will be. in iraq there will be a delay in the budget as well. or. on wednesday the baghdad police chief said his security forces are being i care. well it has been fire iraq human rights commission says people have died during protests since friday the judiciary announced it would be investigating government corruption that's a lengthy process that may not appease the information. also the u.n.

special representative here in iraq to attack me or to people she says they have legitimate demands however she also says that it would be impossible for any government to harbor and simply attack the past and present challenges in just one year that is how long prime minister idol. has been in power. and there's been reaction to the demonstrations in iraq and lebanon here's what's in iran's supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei has been saying. that the biggest damage enemies can inflict on a country is to deprive them of security as they are doing today in some countries in the region in the world american western intelligence services the financial support of some countries in our region produce chaos in the middle east and this is the worst hostility towards our nation i recommend those who care in iraq and lebanon remedy the insecurity and turmoil created in the countries by the us the

zionist regime people also have some demands that are right but they should know their demands could be met through legal frameworks of their countries when legal structures are disrupted in a country nothing can get done they also planned it for our country but our people neutralized it when they came to the scene well joining us here on the news hour is sami him as an assistant professor at the northwestern university here in kaesong he's also the author of war is coming between past and future violence in lebanon some of them as welcome to the news hour how long do you think it'll take them to form a new government in beirut. well that's that's anyone's guess but. it's a potentially can take quite a while now once most likely heidi will be named as the next prime minister again and they will start there are. there are negotiations they're bickering and it could potentially take a while the one thing that i think could you know could put

a dent in that in those negotiations are the people. mobilizing on the streets which might push them to move faster but really it's anyone's guess and the past if the past is any measure then it could take a while do you think there's a chance that mr hariri will try to give his country the same old binary system which is precisely what the protesters do not want. again i mean there is there is a good chance of that the i think the people have spoken this time in some really amazing ways they have been very clear in their demands in terms of what kind of government they want and i think if the ruling class is smart they will listen or you know or else things could get quite messy and i think i think from what i've been hearing on the ground that people are going to give them some time and then if their demands are not met they're going to be back out

stronger in the streets looking at the wider region just the region have time for these old games. of course not but at the same time i think it's important to really stress that these are domestic issues economic issues questions of social justice and they're not geo political issues people in lebanon and people in iraq are tired of their their regimes and their ruling class and their put the political sectarianism that has been ongoing for decades and lebanon and i suppose now decades in iraq and they're tired of this and i think at least where i'm following more closely in lebanon the people in the streets have been amazing at really separating these issues and making a case that this is not about any kind of geo political struggle this is about the

state's corrupt state and you know that just now you played a quote from from iran that that that can be directed as much to the ruling class that is it is the people right i mean the the the government needs to get itself in order in order to prevent you know these kind of just geopolitical games from being played out ok you know just here's the thing that occurs to me ok we're not talking about geopolitical issues we're talking about bread and butter issues that's what we're talking about on the streets of lebanon and that's what we're talking about i guess it once at one level anyway on the streets of iraq you mean you mentioning the iran the tentacles of the geo political relationships though that those tentacles are real they are solid they are well established is what we're seeing potentially arab spring to. right

i mean not just iran right to me we can talk about the tentacles come from all kinds of places but the point is that that is not the people have learned the lessons of the past. we hope and from what i've seen they've been really smart. stressing that this is about bread and butter. and standing with one force you know and lebanon you've seen people with sort of new consciousness about. you know. about this not being a sectarian issue this is really about the economy and this is about corruption and this is about an old order that needs to go if we're going to have you know a state that provides any dignity for us so i think it's important to in the face of people trying to make this about an international question to stress

that it's really is it. thank you very much. sudan's main opposition leader says the government has failed to push through a peace deal in that ending years of fighting former rebel leader rick machado says a unity government cannot be achieved before a mid november 3rd life 6 year conflict has led to the deaths of more than $400000.00 people and internationally mediated peace deal is still in place but the still violence between groups around the country for morgan has more now from khartoum with less than 2 weeks to go it doesn't look like all the worrying sides who signed a peace deal here in the sudanese capital hard time last year are in agreement with regards to forming a transitional government mid november now let's remember that the november 12th deadline is already an extension of the initial deadline which was made 12 opposition leader rick machar says that the security arrangements and the number of states are 2 issues which hinders him from returning him back to juba and forming a transitional government on time asked for the peace deal that was signed 83000

troops from both sides are to be brought together trained and unified before being redistributed across the country and forming a national army now that has not fully completed yet the process started less than 2 months ago the other issue is the number of states now let's go back to october 2015 when south sudan's president change the number of states in the country from 10 to 32 that was something that opposition leader rick much are strongly rejected and said was illegal and he says that those 2 issues should be resolved before a government of national unity is formed now into the intergovernmental authority on development a regional body which has backed the deal along with the european union and several regional countries have said that it comes down to the mediators sudan and uganda to bring the 2 sides together and bring them and put them to the negotiating table and decide whether they can go ahead and form a government and resolve these issues after that transitional government is formed or they will be once again another extension and people of south sudan have to wait

to see a transitional government and for stability in that country. electricity is being cut to about a 1000000 people in the u.s. state of california to reduce the risk of wildfires spreading firefighters in the north are battling a growing blaze which has destroyed more than 100 homes and is threatening thousands more residents in one country being warned that more of the may need to move to safer areas in the south strong overnight winds are expected to fuel another blaze burning on the outskirts of los angeles. well look at latests in the forecast from jenny very shortly. when it became a radical system. which could trigger came out still to come under fire as the 2nd day before congress with the. craft manufacturers. faces questions about crashes that killed more than 300 people in a period of 6 months. and in sports go to top of the you can bring the

best. had rather mixed picture across much of the middle east some cooler air in place but also plenty of rain showers and some snow to these high elevations you can see on the satellite quite a lot going on we have got mostly rain but some snow again patients to 20 celsius on a day meanwhile in between the black sea and the caspian sea we've got a steady stream of showers and again will snow to the mountain tops on by friday very unsettled throughout much of turkey quite a cloud and really quite cold in anchorage just 13 celsius meanwhile a nice sunny day in beirut with a high of 24 damages now across much of i've been put into we have some cloud with some very heavy amounts of rain and it's because of this that it really is going to continue to impact coastal areas particularly of. very high waves is breaking

across the prominent opposition pretty good guys despite the fact that storm is so close now it's not expected to get any stronger it will actually continue to weaken so between thursday and friday the winds will really come down so we're looking at winds on friday at around 90 kilometers an hour gusting higher than that but it will produce all the way along this coastal area and again still some pretty high and dangerous seas wanted to show like you through eastern areas of south africa so feeling cooler than on thursday with a high of 90. the 1st hand glimpse of the challenges faced by journalists in the age of donald trump we're fighting the faked is fake phony the enemy of the people through the eyes of a federal white house correspondent what do you base your legs only say sir down the press is not after truck after that we're not the enemy of the people we are

the people usa current battleground whose truth is it anyway on. al-jazeera. where ever you are.

welcome back you're watching the al-jazeera news hour live from doha i'm peter dhabi these are your headlines fight scenes resumed in northern syria state media are reporting heavy clashes between the syrian army and for some the turkish control that follows the passing of a deadline under a russian turkey deal for the withdrawal of all kurdish forces from the northeast of the country. lebanon's prime minister has been asked to stay on as a temporary caretaker until a new government's formed the president's request follows tuesday's resignation of the prime minister saad how do you think his leaving ended the coalition government has been rocked by nearly 2 weeks of protests. and chile's president has cancelled in. national summit show jools the next 2 months because of ongoing anti-government protests demonstrations against president sebastian pinera economic policies have extended into a 12th day. now to the states to more u.s. government officials will be the latest to testify at an impeachment inquiry into the us president donald trump christopher andersen and catherine croft both served

under the former special envoy to ukraine kurt volker the pair followed alexander vine dman the national security council official in charge of ukraine policy who testified on tuesday he was the 1st impeachment witness listen to the call between donald trump and the korean president which is at the center of the inquiry live now to our white house correspondent kimberly help at kimberly what's been going on today. yeah well what we're expecting from this closed door hearing is that there will be more revelations about trump administration ukraine policy namely a sort of a deep dive and what we expect from one of these state department experts is that there will be some testimony that will be particularly damaging for the president given the fact we expect that this will include testimony that the president essentially requested there be a hold on military aid the exact phrasing that this came at the direction of president trump that is certainly going to be problematic for this white house but

while this is damaging the real headlines are likely to come in about 24 hours from now that is when we expect that there will be the beginning of an effort by democrats in the house of representatives to formalize the impeachment process what does that mean there's going to be a vote it's not the vote to impeach the president but what this will do is essentially lay out the public phase of this process there will still be testimony there will still be requests for documentation but what there will also be is much more difficulty in the part of the white house to try and obstruct the process what this means essentially is that the white house has been up until now saying this is not a legitimate process it has no transparency this is not open to the public all of that could change with this vote in the house of representatives so what this means is that the white house which the democrats will argue has been obstructing this process until now that will become much harder as of thursday when we expect that

vote to take place can be many thanks. ok let's talk now to william cohen who's a senior fellow at the rand corporation and former u.s. ambassador he joins us from washington as well when court mean you're reading please 1st of what we've been hearing about today. well this is consistent with previous testimony basically what we have now is testimony by several career foreign affairs professionals that president trump in fact did see to. ask for a quid pro quo arrangement with president selenski with regard to present vice president biden's son his involvement with a bereavement company so now the issues are probably going to move on to further things as kimberly just said the issue of process no republican objection to the process that is shoe will become less important as the vote tomorrow takes place that the democrats will be holding in the house which will call for moving i had

a normal peach of a process and then secondly the issue now is less what happened with regard to the conversation with. presents a landscape the quid pro quo stuff will go into whether is this really an impeachable offense or not so republicans will be shifting there another be some other issues several associates of rudy giuliani are under arrest if that story develops darker play a factor as well so there's still be possible new developments but the story is now shifting ok does it shift a little bit smaller as well your time washington time because my understanding it is that they will try to lay down the parameters his insight which this will function in the public eye and then potentially could that get a lot more damaging for this white house. so public testimony will be vivid just as was the case in the watergate hearings that senator sam ervin chaired with

regard to president nixon so that will make a difference but the facts all seem to be pretty much out on the table now so the question is really moving toward is this an impeachable offense or are there other issues that could be related related to this issue or separate issues that might be relevant to each of our fence ok donald trump seems to be signaling to his republican party his republican allies look you've got to back me you've got to support me you've got to push back against this what is the 1st or the 1st clutch of republican politicians that we should watch out for if they tilt away from giving him that unwavering support. senator mitt romney has been the most outspoken and but most critical so watching senator romney would be an important step but there still will need to be more developments before the

republican votes in the senate for a potential trial may be changed in the watergate episode there was more bipartisan feeling that a crime had been committed right now we don't have the same kind of bipartisan issue another thing to watch for is a weakened presidency when richard nixon was getting close to having to resign. we found more disputes if you will secretary defense legend germs secretary of state kissinger has sharper disputes and dealing with russia for example and strategic arms limitation talks so we can present that could lead to more disputes between congress the executive branch or within the executive branch for example today the spirits are sharper with regard to the middle east than with regard to russia so watching u.s. policy in the middle east may be one indicator of the extent to which there could

be a weakening presidency ok we'll leave it that william cohen in washington thank you for staying in the states washington boeing's chief executive is facing a 2nd day of questions from u.s. politicians he's testifying to the house transportation and infrastructure committee 2 of the companies 7378 jets crashed across a period of 6 months killing 346 people will make us say the company kept technical issues quiet and put profit before safety correspondent john hendren joins us from boeing's international headquarters in chicago so john sentences were hot on boeing's dennis yesterday what's happening in the house hearing today. that's right it is day 2 of the grilling of dennis miller and barry and it has been a rough ride on day one so. knitters said one in one case that he would rather walk than take that plane another called them flying coffins and it emerged that in text between 2 test pilots one of the pilots said the plane had egregious problems and

he went on to say he essentially lied to regulators yesterday victims showed victims' family members showed pictures of those who died in those planes in that hearing room so today for the 2nd day in a row dennis miller and apologize he acknowledged that boeing had made mistakes and he said he was sorry for them he said we will do everything possible to prevent accidents like this from ever happening again and he said the company has made 3 changes that should be able to fix the problems that drove that plane down the problems were apparently with a flight control system called the m cas and what happens is there is a sensor on the plane and if it senses that it's going nose up too far and will stall it forces the nose down but what apparently happened in those cases is that the pilots repeatedly corrected the plane because the sensor gave false information and the plane system repeatedly forced the nose down that's what investigators

believe to have happen the problem is eyelets were not trained on that system and they weren't even told that this was going to happen it was a system to post to happen in the background so the company says it will now have 2 sensors in case one gives false information it will only activate once and the pilots will always be able to override it nevertheless millon berg is ongoing severe grilling on capitol hill for this 2nd day in a row would have boeing in the u.s. regulators the go from via. well that's one of the questions here is whether there should be heavier regulation by the federal aviation administration and there are a couple of reasons for that one of them is that boeing was allowed to self certify many parts of this plane the 2nd is that the plane was not really evaluated as if it were a new plane it was a revamp of an opening from the 1960 s. but it had significant differences the engines were moved you have this flight

control system and a lot of people are asking whether it should have gone through a more rigorous certification process the company says it doesn't believe that is necessary but it's setting aside almost $5000000000.00 to compensate airlines it's not selling that plane and loewenberg future is in doubt ok john many thanks john hendren reporting live from chicago let's talk now to cynthia cole fully president of the union full blowing engine he is the s p p a she joins us from belleview since vehicle welcome to. how can both being have got this role. how did when you got this wrong yes designing an aircraft like this in this way with these faults. i think one of the things i see happening in the culture at boeing is when people speak up engineers speak up and disagree with decisions management those

disagreements have not been listened to so i am not sure how many engineer is actually said you know this isn't a good idea and you got a little indication when you have. it so you know it didn't actually tell the f.a.a. what they saw they didn't really completely describe what they were seeing or simulators so i think. there needs to be more open an openness and transparency in their design process where where the issues are seeing emotion years or less and. i'm just speculating if that wasn't there yet everything i've been reading it's the f.a.a. didn't was not fully aware of how much the aircraft had changed and i think more f.a.a. oversight. would have been warranted in this case and i just think you need 2 eyes on you more eyes on this does not mean as i'm just engines and especially one that

impacts safety and i think there is a number of changes to the 737 max and it warranted more oversight not less does that mean the basic premise of you take a very successful essentially short haul aircraft the old old 737 and you stretch it you put more people on board you do things with the engine you change the center of gravity and as long as the lowest the manufacturer in this case boeing which at this point also brought in a system of self checking civility but the men and women who were building it they were checking their own work there was nobody overseeing that correct me if i'm wrong on that particular point please do that way of building aircraft is inherently wrong. yeah i agree with your assessment there we were arguing about this backyard before i retired this was went back to around 2008 and.

maybe a little earlier and we saw this coming were f.a.a. was going to. go into some of its own certification already that one company and. we were not only agreements that a lot of the engineers on the program i was our time we didn't think that was a good idea and with a number of changes on the air crowd like a 737 were specially with new engines and a different structure on the aircraft by stretching out. it would have been prudent to treat it as a brand new aircraft and go through a more rigorous approval and a you know checking all the safety features that really should've been done and to not do that i'm not sure who made that decision and i'm sure there are a lot of discussions back and forth you know it's better to err on the side of safety and quality not cost and schedule can i ask you one last brief question

cynthia if boeing say look the aircrafts fine we've tweaked the swivel to better the system is changed you'll be flying on them again in say 3 months would you put your husband and children on a 737 max not right now oh no i want to see more than buying just when they must face with their customers by not being open and transparent about how this process works they're going to have to do a lot of proving to the public that this aircraft really is saying they're going to have to do a rigorous checking and qualification of this aircraft i think they should go through and recertify the entire aircraft. since the cold thank you very much. welcome to europe london's grenfell tower survivors are barry and barry welcomed

a damning new report on the apartment fire that left some to people that 2 years ago the report says if the building had been evacuated sooner fewer people would have died as the 1st part of the public inquiry it says there were systematic failures on the part of the london fire service chiefs report has found that escape was always possible it found perceptions and planning but london preparation and planning by london fire brigade was gravely inadequate london fire brigade did not comply with his duties to gather information needed for distinguishing fires seaport should've been withdrawn earlier and failure to withdraw stay put and cause for the loss of lives evacuation was always possible. journal has more from west london. where there is a feeling on the ground here at grenfell tower among. the support group and

community representatives that i've spoken to that while this report is strong is valid it highlights failures that certainly did take place in the fire response and indeed failings that the fire brigade itself isn't attempting to hide from it doesn't go far enough because as the fire brigade itself has pointed out essentially this building was a death trap before the fire even began and that is because of fire safety lapses inside of the building but also crucially in the planning that was applied to the exterior of the building rain screen cladding with a polyethylene core highly combustible that meant that the fire was able to leap all the way up to the top in just a matter of about 20 minutes on the outside far far faster than the fire brigade could control it or even properly understand what was going on and it is aspires the community here is concerned the ultimate failing of the councillors of the tenant organization of the contractors involved in the 2016 renovation of this

building and that is where they really want to see accountability and justice done now that portion of this inquiry will only take place in phase 2 this is just phase one phase 2 takes place next year it could be 18 months long it is only after that that a police investigation will conclude and possible criminal charges laid so accountability for the people that the community here feels are actually responsible and justice are still a long way off. the leaders of the 2 major political parties have clashed in parliament today as the december election campaign gets underway prime minister barak johnson talked of the need to move forward from brics it while the opposition leader jeremy corbin attacked the government for its policy on the u.k.'s national health service. leadership means standing up for the people of this country thanks standing up for our police standing up for our n.h.s. making sure that it gets the funding that it needs and standing up for our economy

and for our wealth creators and above all it means getting pretty done and being the be the. is the truth that this government is preparing to sell or are any serious off this is in more danger than any other time in its glorious history because of his government his attitude and the trite kills he wants destroyed. people killed in protests this month tens of thousands of people have been protesting over potential change the constitution the president. and the next year's election. still to. step closer to retaining.

time to sports teams as peter peter thank you very much baseball's world series has come down to a winner takes all the fighting game the washington nationals ended the euston astro's a 3 game winning streak to square the series at 33 david stokes reports. after 3 straight wins the astros needed only one more to take the series and when alex bregman hit this home they seem to be well on their way. but amazingly no team has

won at home yet this series and the nationals have back 1st out of a 10 and then one so chose to out the puck to edge the visitors in front 32 nets pitch a stephen strasburg was in great form as well frustrating houston to prevent them adding any more runs. strikeout and see an immense number 6 on a night for strike spot but it was washington's anthony rendon who struck the killer blows with the bat to get out and ran their own shots not enough i i bring down is actually from houston and he followed up that to run home out with a 2 run double to take the game away from the astros should also get it finished 72 and yet again the home crowd left disappointed this is the 1st world series ever where the visiting team has won the 1st 6 games shuttles of course game 7. maybe they enjoy our park and maybe we enjoy their cards though we're not as questions we're just going to try to go out there and to settle for one negative for the nats

was manager dave martinez being ejected from the game the 1st in a world series since 1000. 6 i don't really want to make this about me and take away what the boys did tonight i mean they play really well as for the astros they need to pick themselves up and fast and i don't think there's a person in the building that would have assumed that all road games or road teams were going to win we've got to make sure that last one is not the same so the momentum is back with the nationals i mean for washington's 1st title since the senators in 1924 after 8 months and nearly 5000 games this season it all comes down to one winner takes all match on wednesday david stokes al-jazeera the filming champion eliteness with alina booked a spot in the last 4 of the 'd final thing shins in china the ukrainian beat one of the favorites wimbledon champion simona halep to seal her spot so it's really no winning the match in straight sets 7563 if she does manage to retain her crown it

we know. peter the syrian government and the. kurdish. say basically that the turkish military has been pounding their positions on the outskirts of. the syrian opposition has been saying something different they say that those clashes were mainly between the and the syrian army on one hand and the s.n.a. which is the opposition army backed by turkey and the reason why we have been tension around. is that when the fight to start to put out the syrian army was trying to further expand redeploy and explore expend its influence over those areas it in an attempt to fill in the vacuum that was left by the withdrawal of the. of that particular moment the syrian opposition decided to go on the

offensive to control those areas where they say part of the territory they controlled since the start of the turkish military campaign a few weeks ago now they control an area that stretches from b.s. and they say there is absolutely no way they will allow the syrian government to take over this explains why that particular area. and that are set a very crucial in the last few hours now the syrian government has also said a few a while ago that the syrian opposition has taken over 12 vintages a round that are said i know from a syrian opposition perspective they say this is just the same territory that the took over in the past few weeks and therefore there is absolutely no attempt to further expense out. is there a risk here this could turn into another front within the conflict.

there is the potential for a confrontation between turkey and the syrian army is there for the simple reason is that when you look at the whole idea behind the safe zone he's basically insisting on the s.d. of fighters to pull out from the from members still without all the way east from areas like on the outskirts of chemistry and al maliki the last year when it was signed deals with the syrian army paving the way for the syrian military to took over to take over some of those areas the turkish government is saying this is not acceptable this is not part of the deal that we signed with russia and i think the crucial moment will come when russia and turkey start the joint patrols in those areas and you would imagine peter that in some of those areas you would see the presence of syrian syrian troops about a mile or 2 miles away from where this. would be a position that could pose

a huge challenge for the joint patrols between russia and turkey. thank you. for all the fighting is happening as well begins on a new governing document for syria after 8 years of war 150 delegates representing the government the opposition and civil society a constitutional committee meeting in geneva the u.n. which is overseeing the process does not does not deny that it is an enormously difficult task. she is president as counsel to international summits to be held in the country because of. them stray sions against president sebastian pinera economic policies have been held in cities across chile for nearly 2 weeks the country won't host the asia pacific summit next month or the global climate change conference in december the protests the said to be the largest in chile in nearly 2 decades more from. in santiago chile

does this mean that the country's leadership thinks this crisis will run for several more weeks. that certainly seems to be the expectation on the ground here peter these announcement that the asia pacific economic summit is those expected to be held in november as well does the u.n. have triple c. top $25.00 climate change summit to be held in december being cancelled is massive news the expectation is that this rest that this on the rest that as you mentioned already has already been going on for almost 2 weeks will continue we're seeing protests taking place more protests expected in the coming weeks this is what we heard from the president earlier today presidents have said quote we understand the importance of apac and hope for chile and the world but we have based our decision on common sense that common sense peter being the continue to unrest the continued protests putting pressure on the government putting pressure on the on on political leaders to to change what they're saying is a failed system

a failed economic policy which in irony looking at this from outside outside of the country chile is a leader when it comes to matters of the economy that the chill lane economic model has been one that has been adopted by several countries in the region so to see this much discontent over growing in inequality in the country is something that certainly must be shocking for people outside of chile now there are major implications to the cancellation of of apec the 1st foremost being. the in an expected trade deal that would come out a trade deal between president trump of the united states of the united states and president xi jinping of china a deal that was expected to calm fears and concerns over an escalating trade war between the united states and china whether or not that trade deal will be signed in the in the coming days in a different location remains to be seen but this certainly hasn't caused any fears there's other major major implications for the region and for chile as well not

least of which is tarnishing a reputation as a as an economic leader as a as a leader in politics as a model an example for how a country can come out of 17 years of a brutal dictatorship to become the most the most developed country in latin america more implications here in chile there's been a devaluation of the currency there's massive financial speculation there's been drops in chile in stocks and the unrest continues and protests in a march taking place now as we speak in front of the chilean presidential palace there are marches that are taking better scheduled to take place throughout the course of the week that are calling attention to growing inequality. disparities when it comes to pensions low wages low of an equal access to health care and education so there is as you asked at the beginning an expectation that the this unrest that's already been taking place for almost 2 weeks now is only expected to continue peter well thank you very much. lebanon's prime minister has been asked to stay on as

a temporary caretaker until the new government is formed michel request follows prime minister saad hariri is resignation on tuesday his leaving ended the coalition government that has been struggling to contain the 2 weeks of protests the army has stepped in to clear roads that have been barricaded by demonstrators who want the entire ruling elite to step step back and has more now from beirut the protesters and now dismantling what has been a key roadblock one of the vital arteries of highway through beirut 2 weeks this has remained close causing a lot of tension even among the population so you can see there been tense there are people were sleeping here overnight that is now all being removed throughout the morning you've had negotiations by the security forces here with the protesters to try and get them to do this because the army doesn't want to use force when it comes to these parents as they have been peaceful you did see confrontations on tuesday between supporters of and has ball on the other side of this bridge so this

is expected to ease the situation on the ground but a lot of people here are telling us that they're not actually happy with what is happening here one of the protesters saying that she believes that this was basically caving in to the government saying that their demands haven't been met because they want everyone to stand down they want an interim technocratic government and so on your large and so these are all major challenges ahead politically but certainly at the moment it seems to be there all the roads around the capital and also other areas of the country the highways leading north and south are being opened. to more u.s. state department officials are the latest to testify at an impeachment inquiry into the u.s. president donald trump christopher anderson and catherine croft both served under the former special envoy to crane kurt volker follow alexander vine but the national security council official in charge of ukraine policy who testified on tuesday he was the 1st impeachment witness who listened to the call between mr trump and the ukrainian president which is at the center of the inquiry white house

correspondent kimberly help that has more now from washington. the testimony on wednesday on capitol hill by 2 state department officials are expected to be particularly damaging to the white house once again this is an effort by democrats to offer further timelines and a deep dive into ukraine policy under the administration of donald trump we expect that at least one of the witnesses will testify that there was a request to withhold military aid to ukraine and that this came at the direction of president trump but all eyes are also on what 1 will take place in the u.s. house of representatives on thursday that's when a vote is expected under the direction of the speaker of the house nancy pelosi to formalize the process impeachment inquiry that's already underway but until now the white house has alleged this has not been transparent it's been conducted in the shadows this is to counter that narrative so while this is not a vote to impeach president trump what it is is

a vote to formalize the process the testimony will still be underway a request for documents still underway but it now becomes much harder with that vote to for the white house to essentially obstruct as the democrats allege no longer will they be able to instruct witnesses that they cannot testify or not provide documents now all of that will become much harder ok let's just take you just live pictures we're getting here of a story we're tracking for your own syria looking at live pictures of the wildfires raging pretty much out of control in southern california semi valley close to los angeles now what you're looking at right now quite close shouldn't know the look at russia seeing smoke there in the aftermath of the flames quite close to the ronald reagan presidential library the stuff that they have been told to evacuate the area both ends of the state of california struggling to tackle the blazes really strong winds fanning the flames and the local alec.
