me how he would feel if that applied to him. it's cruel and unfair instead of focusing on renewing papers every year and whether i can renew them or not i could just focus on supporting my family and being a good citizen and supporting greece but they're doing this on purpose to drive us away and also don't allow us to go to another european country to apply for asylum there either want nor want us to leave greece is a turning point for 6 years it's tried to keep up with asylum applications but constant new arrivals keep lengthening its backlog of cases greece's a-g. and islands where asylum seekers arrive from turkey are in constant crisis reception camps are built for 6000 people now house 30000 the 3 month old conservative government says greece needs a tough asylum law that keeps economic migrants out of the system and allows only true refugees to apply human rights groups are crying foul. of what this law does

is to deregulate the asylum procedure in this country and expose many people to real danger of being sympathetic without their asylum applications being seriously examined and it introduces so many obstacles that the asylum procedure is an accessible to many people who truly need it these government wants a faster procedures we want to separate who is really a refugee and who is an economic migrant from africa to pakistan countries that aren't at war see europe as paradise because it has social security rule of law infrastructure and stability the government. leaves the new law will allow it to deport $10000.00 unqualified asylum seekers next year that's 5 times more than it's deported in 3 years under an e.u. turkey agreement greece also wants other e.u. members to take asylum applicants off its hands. greece has received 6 out of 10 migrants who've crossed the mediterranean this year and it's processing one in 10

applications that's 7 times it's under the european commission rules there's currently no burden sharing mechanism for countries like greece with external interview borders and that's perhaps what frightens greece most it's the recipient of a phenomenon it can't control europe is happy to send money and rules but little else jumps at all pull us out jazeera athens. still ahead on al-jazeera find out why liverpool by refused to take part in the english late cup quarter finals that's coming up with roland.

. historic words from the speaker of the u.s. house of representatives this we gather here on that opening day with their families gathered around to proudly raise their hand to protect and defend the constitution of the united states as congress took the 1st vote in the impeachment inquiry of president donald trump the measure which authorizes the inquiry to enter a public pays past 232 to 1962 democrats joined a unanimous republican caucus in voting no those in favor they say ah. those opposed say no. democrats are trying to impeach the president because they are scared they cannot defeat him at the ballot box that's not my words that's the words of my colleagues from the other side of the aisle that has offered

impeachment 3 different times this impeachment is not only an attempt to undo the last election. is it an attempt to influence the next one as well. over the past weeks more than a dozen witnesses have testified before impeachment investigators behind closed doors leaked portions of their testimony paint a narrative of trump using the power of his office to pressure ukraine to investigate his political rivals to morrison the russian expert on the national security council appeared on capitol hill on thursday despite white house orders not to previous witnesses have said morrison described having a sinking feeling after he learned a trump wanted ukraine's president to go to a microphone to announce investigations into korma vice president joe biden what's the problem here for the republicans and the presidents the founders is that the

the evidence is pretty damning the road toward impeaching president trump is still a long one and democrats into size that impeachment is not a foregone conclusion but thursday's vote paves the way forward and forecast a bitter partisan battle ahead with trump's presidency at stake. castro al-jazeera washington roslyn jordan joins me now from washington d.c. just which is the same 2 story there and saying that democrats assign look it doesn't necessarily mean that impeachment is now a foregone conclusion but just how does this change the choir that's on the way. well stan it doesn't really change the inquiry at all if anything this is a political measure taken on thursday in essence so that the house speaker nancy pelosi can basically show up congressional republicans who have objected to the

impeachment inquiry which started in the last week of september the interviews behind closed doors are going to continue the democrats say they are doing it this way so that witnesses can't compare their testimony so that there is a bit of freedom for them to was speak frankly to both the congressional democrats and republicans who are sitting on this panel doing this preliminary work but democrats say their plan is to eventually get to open hearings hearings where anyone in the public can watch or sit in the gallery and they're hoping that they could start this perhaps in about 4 weeks time those open hearings would of course be absolutely critical because people will be hearing and seeing exactly what the testimony is what's been really interesting about this roseland is the testimony that has come from people who are not democrats so you can't be seen as being part of what donald trump calls the which are the people who would for donald trump and

of raised really serious concerns about this phone call them what trump was asking you trying to do in investigating joe biden i'm just wondering to what extent that may be moving republicans or the republican base when it comes to the question of impeaching tone from. that's really the $64000.00 question because even though the president has spent his entire presidency denigrating career diplomats career bureaucrats career officials across the u.s. government as you said these are people who have built their careers working on national security working on foreign policy working on domestic policy who are coming in and who are describing exactly what they saw and heard on july 25th as well as in the weeks before that phone call with the ukrainian president and in the weeks after so whether this is going to be enough to persuade congressional

republicans or the president's up political base that what these people say they saw is indeed troubling and perhaps violations of the u.s. constitution that's really something that we have to wait to see but i think what is important is that congressional democrats feel that if the very least they have to establish for the historical record the fact that what they have been saying and what they've been understanding from the witnesses so far is that something illegal did happen and at the very least the record needs to reflect that roslyn thank you rosa and jordan joining us there from washington d.c. now to algeria where demonstrators have rejected plans for 1st elections in december fearing they'll be neither free nor fair. the anti-government activists want anyone to president abilities but afflicted to be removed from power he was forced from office and i for that many of his former

allies still hold senior positions protesters chanted against the army chief guide sala who has emerged as an authority figure since the full of butterflies you would have lawrence is a professor at george washington university's elliott school of international affairs he believes protests against the leadership and the system a going to get bigger. the protesters want to stem a change they don't trust the voting law they don't trust the political parties they would like sort of a top to bottom change and the rejection and arrest of all of the people that are around before you can not just the ones that this regime which was the successor briefly because the ones they choose to put in jail because either they're out of favor with them or because they were too close to become self like his brother and certain other businessmen and so and so what we're having is a partial change not complete change we have a leaderless movement the protests were a little bit less populated in the summer but they're picking up again this fall on

fridays and basically we saw the friday protests begin early i think the main game right now is 23 candidates haven't been approved for december elections as to opposed to to last july which led to canceled elections and so we really have a standoff now between elections that may happen with extremely low turnout with general population but with $23.00 candidates verses a leaderless movement that wants total change but really hasn't put forward a platform or a method to take over power and so this standoff will continue in the protests will probably grow well now to the protests in july and the government this is the damage caused by the 2 weeks of andras to supply a $1000000000.00 to buy just suburbs due to be held in santiago have been canceled due to those protests and despite a 2 day public holiday the demonstrations the social reforms are continuing in

american editor lucy and you've been reports from santiago. but this is a little anecdotes that none of these are locking up their hardware store in downtown santiago after taking out everything was shady. we invested all we had in the stalls but there hasn't been a single day without looting. we've lost 60 percent of our income that if we have commitments bills taxes and salaries to pay i don't know how we'll manage. until 2 weeks ago chile was the envy of the region home to the so-called chilean economic miracle. but an explosion of social unrest has changed all that. while most demonstrations are peaceful who did an extremely violent groups all over the country have been burning and pillaging private and public property. that includes this emblematic public library that was just ransacked. until now the

vandals have respected our center but yesterday they went too far they took the books and everything. the damage so far has well surpassed a $1000000000.00 according to the government tourism is also being devastated not just because of the cancellation of the cop $25.00 and the apec summit which would have won millions of dollars into the economy in this area for example downtown shops have been burnt down even a hotel seriously damaging to its reputation as that americans say 1st and home this country. many shopping centers and hundreds of damaged supermarkets remain shut along with small businesses all of which will impact jobs. because the small companies. employ the would reflect people the government will have to. measure. congress has in fact passed

a bill at lightning speed freezing electricity prices until the end of next year and obliging power companies to reverse a 10 percent tariff hike that when to do effect this month. it won't be enough to appease the widespread demands for profound social and economic reforms but to many it's proved that their politicians will only listen when they are under extreme pressure. you see in human. still ahead on al-jazeera. and resolve among iraqi protesters despite a presidential pledge to hold an election but with conditions.
