to the brink of plummeting off niagara falls. millions of people in india's capital are having to find alternative ways to get to work as emergency measures against air pollution take effect the number of private vehicles allowed on new delhi's roads has been halved in an attempt to clear a toxic smaug that is choking the city listen levels are so high schools are shut flights have been cancelled in a public emergency declared experts say the air in new delhi a similar to smoking up to 50 cigarettes a day. the move it suffocated. we shall always will make the weapon better and the pollution that will improve it doesn't feel lucky yet. breathing issues pollution is also putting us on the mend it's not winter so stephy no. walking around with them. just after half past 10 in the morning in new delhi

so let's get an update now from our how bad is it there. it's very very bad the air is on really the ball i've been standing at a 10 minutes and my eye is. itching at the back of my children this is just what i mean i've been talking to a lot of people and they say they do not see even indoors because yes she's indoors as well so the equity index says only getting worse michel yesterday over the last 24 hours actually it's just a 1000 to date small 700 now what does that mean this is the worst polluted city in new delhi the 2nd most value to cities usually dhaka yesterday does not home that the air quality index was under 200 and the little light not the air quality index is 21 degrees numbers leave under 40 the atwal g.'s to be all right to be good some 4200 is supposed to be moderate but when it crosses the 400 it's an actual

risk to your health it's cost 700 it's speed if you take an average it's been about 400 but this morning a piece up an hour ago it had crossed 700 so atwo teeth is really bad is on we the whole the government is coming up in some measures many people are betting moscow life has to move on it's a very heavily populated city as well to people are just maybe going on about their life reading the stocks again so let's talk more about what the government is doing the state government has this odd and even car scheme as it's called so tell us what it is and how exactly is it supposed to help. was going to have a little because a huge part of the pollution is me but you should so if you hop the number of these vehicles then yes i do beach should tell you what it is it is that you got to all the cars with even numbers all numbers that say cars * ending number place ending

with 6 athol 2 can be on the streets one day and those ending with all the numbers the other day so yes as you rightly said the number of cars have to be hot tonight i've observed that many people in this spot of delhi are actually following it but the logs part of this believe is because a bomb is burning to stop in neighboring states which are also fighting pollution by the way but there is no political consensus there are different political parties in the states all the states around in delhi have the hindu nationalist party which is also at the center of the pockets of the party but delhi has ahd me party all the pub and max party which was made all civil society members of these 2 political parties are quarrelling that is no clear direction as to where what the government's that is and india's prime minister has not even spoken on this issue so as long as bob must keep running the stoppel and it's been the pollution is expected to be high art with the latest in new delhi thank you. talks on wood could

be the world's biggest trade partnership have been conclusive that's the word coming from the high line says an announcement will be made in the coming hours there are a last minute doubts about the deal at the summit after india raise concerns on china's and valmont so let's go to scott heiler who is at the summit in bangkok so what else 1 do we know scott about this this alleged breakthrough. we shall we know that actually not that much because a lot of this negotiation has been ongoing for a little last several years we heard that statement from the minister of commerce here in thailand saying that there is conclusive progress there's going to be a conclusive announcement in the coming hours but then in just the last hour since that came out the australian trade minister has come out who is part of these talks as well they're one of the 16 nations who are part of this are set trade deal they came out and said that the negotiations are ongoing so it's a little bit of

a confusing situation mixed messages coming but all indications we are getting up until monday morning if you will with these ongoing negotiations here on some it were that the negotiations were going forward well but they were going to end anytime soon and actually there was projected that the signing of this agreement might come early next year february 2020 was floated as a possible date so a little bit confusing message coming out we do know that you know the 10 members of aussie and all part of this agreement there are 6 other nations who are here and that they're going to hold another meeting in the coming hours so will there be an announcement after that that's what waiting for and will actually be conclusive it's not really clear at this stage rizzo so scott as you said these negotiations the attempt to form this pack is been going on for years what it appears to be different though is the global economy and the pressure around free trade that seems to have changed over time tell us more about the environment that this is all

happening at. right definitely and we look at the 2 largest economies in the world the united states and china involved in over a year of trade war aggressively intensified trade war that has impact around the world but specifically in this region so these 10 nations of ahsan have had to deal with that because they a lot of them trade and do business with both nations so they've been kind of thrust in the middle so you have a situation where the on as a body for these 10 members has difficulty unifying you know coming out with one voice and how to deal with the situation and also you have the political arm of this the political aspect of this and you have united states representation here downgraded from previous years the minister of commerce is the top member of the american delegation here we're hearing comments from them from that delegation saying that to stand up telling the r.c.n. members to stand up to china intimidation when it comes to the south china sea now it china has been accused by some of the nations as well as the united states and

other nations around the world of territory infringement in the south china sea so that's been an ongoing issue as well the united states telling us u.n. members to stand up to it interesting lee enough the chinese premier li could chang is at the meetings here and he has said that there's been progress on the code of conduct on how things will happen in the south china seas you've got a lot of different issues that these 10 nations are dealing with when it comes to geopolitics all right because high dollar the latest in bangkok scott thank you pakistan's prime minister has refused to he calls to resign as tens of thousands of protesters remain in his lamo by demonstrators they then run con until midnight on sunday to set down and the government is illegitimate. by the military protester led by the prime minister's longtime rival conservative cleric. on. a general strike has to begin in lebanon in the coming hours as protesters step up the pressure on the government or in a mass rally in the capital beirut and call for

a complete overhaul of the ruling elite and the political system which is split along sectarian lines the demonstrations have forced the prime minister saad hariri to hand in his resignation and holder was at those protests and they were. outside political establishment protesters are back to close a road they believe that this is the only way to maintain the pressure on the ruling elite to resign a few days ago they agreed to leave the streets after the prime minister sagal how do you see it as submitted his resignation but now people here believe those in power are progress the one thing that they should have by now created a technocrat government which will prepare for early elections but those that man's have not been met those in power they've been in power for 30 years are unlikely to meet these demands because it means giving up the the power that they have enjoyed over these years so back to closing roads but the lebanese army and the security

forces are also in the streets but i can tell you people here are uncompromising and demanding demanding a new change in leadership but at the same time there is another street in the country the other street is defending those in power. they turned out in large numbers to send the message to those trying to topple the ruling elite supporters of president michel aoun came from across the country and converged outside the presidential palace in beirut suburbs a show of force but also a call for cooperation. and there are too many protests squares the situation must not turn against each other or protest against each other we do a road map with 3 points corruption the economy and a civic nation there your rights so that's why we need to communicate with you and agree and put effort. together people here say they too are asking for reforms and an end to corruption but unlike the anti-establishment protest movement they are

defending their leaders the president's son in law foreign ministers abroad to seal gave no indication he is leaving office he is a divisive figure who has been accused of corruption overstepping his powers and exploiting lebannon secretary and structure for political gains. let us not block the road in front of us with demands that are impossible to achieve today because you will speed up the financial collapse. the priority is to delay that collapse and maybe prevent it. mainly sectarian parties still command support among levanon 4000000 people but the street is divided and public squares and cities across the country anti-government protesters are uncompromising lebanese from all sects have been coming together and the crowds chant the same slogan all of them means all of them they are rejecting the entire political class

of lebanon so-called october revolution is now in its 3rd week the revolt against politicians who have been in power for 30 years has not lost momentum public pressure has reshuffled power the prime minister sato had d.d. resigned last week but he could return to office as part of a deal politicians seem to be putting together and what they seem to be discussing are shares and divisions in the old practice and perhaps maybe just maybe thinking about do we give this so-called civil society 2 or 3 state seeds to come down the street but the problem is what you hear here when you talk to people is you want a coherent independence competent government the major reform these people want is proving difficult to achieve and no one knows how long the political standoff will last you know it's a dangerous stalemate on the economy on the brink of collapse much needed economic forms reforms need to be enacted but you can't do that without a government and it's not just that if the ruling coalition those in power decide

to clamp down on this movement it will be very difficult because using excessive force would definitely be condemned by the international community who is really their eyes have been on lebanon on western countries providing support to the lebanese army so the lebanese army the ruling coalition there in a bind they know what they're up against a street which is uncompromising but at the same time it's not clear if they are going to take escalatory measures them sell. in order to end this movement still ahead on al-jazeera iraq's prime minister urges an end to violence on both sides and demonstrators say they will not back down. and the whistleblower any impeachment probe into the u.s. president offers themself up for questioning.

what it is you know they just don't want to report it the whistleblower. should be revealed because the whistleblower gatefold story some people would go wrong but i won't go that far but. when i read it closely i probably would. be clear trunks statement contradicts the white house's own notes of the phone call with the ukrainian president which largely corroborate their recent lower account john hendren has more from washington d.c. . in the impeachment inquiry into donald trump what is interesting is not necessarily who might testify in the coming week but who will not testify there are 3 officials from the white house office of management and budget who have been asked by that inquiry to testify and the reports are that they will not appear in this coming week that is apparently part of a coordinated campaign by the white house to prevent people from speaking to you

pietschmann requiring and in that case it's significant because the allegation in the inspiring is that president donald trump withheld $400000000.00 from the government of ukraine that is in military aid until he received a promise from the president of ukraine a lot of years olinsky that he would investigate joe biden the president's rival and that he would announce that he was doing so publicly so there is that end the fact that john bolton the president's former national security adviser has said he will not testify without a subpoena so bolton is significant because he has said that that deal the pressure campaign against ukraine was a so-called drug deal and members of congress want to know what he meant by that and whether he thought that meant that anything improper was being done by the president of the united states and there are new reports that that partisan warfare is driving up interest in the 2020 election there's a wall street journal n.b.c.

poll that finds that 72 percent of americans say they are highly interested in the upcoming election those are the kind of numbers we usually don't see until about a month before election day and that suggests there could be very high turnout in 2020 whatever happens with the impeachment inquiry. libyan opposition politicians are calling for a new election to resolve the ongoing unrest began in october when he won a 4th term as president opponents say that it was fraudulent and it tore a board favoring morale is the president has rejected calls to resign and urged protesters to wait on the result of an ongoing international election audit something the opposition rejects. we believe that the best solution to this crisis is a new election administered by an impartial international electoral body under rigorous observation by the international community as such we demand the resignation of the supreme electoral tribunal on the department electoral courses and we announced that we will take legal steps for the. calls for the drafting of

a new constitution and still a are growing louder a comes after weeks of violent protests or a lack of funding for public services but some are expressing their anger and a different way and reports in the port city of. small peaceful marches are taking place in dozens of neighborhoods in the chilean port city by. the mood here is quite festive it's a stark contrast from the unrest that's gripped this community in recent weeks and these marches served to lighten the mood but they also had the effect of bringing neighbors out of their homes to discuss and debate the country's ongoing social crisis. in many cases the meetings are highly organized and include working groups where people discuss different ways to change the country's social agenda i meant that in the past we would see unrest in different sectors health education university students workers women but today the months from this whoops had been unified because there is no solution within the current system and within the

constitution to address these problems and. these public gatherings are called there are sort of exercise in democracy building and they're taking place all over . these debates are also. widely seen as one of the most viable solutions to the country's ongoing social crisis of the same score hadn't heard if social new social contract. that embodies the new social contract sheila's former foreign minister. says the country's constitution is founded on economic policies that favor the rich over the well being of the people we have put all the efforts on universal rights and that i think is that role where we should be there should be our future. the idea of establishing a constitutional convention has become one of the loudest rallying cries among chilean protesters going to go you know you're going to show you we're going to get

together and agree on creating a real society no more of these new will even though society neoliberalism was born here will die here. apart from a desire for systemic change many chileans say they have a deep distrust of the country's political class behind us national congress that was constructed during the final years of chilean dictator augusto pinochet's rule much like the building itself the country's constitution is seen by many as a remnant of the days of dictatorship so it's unclear how long the unrest in the country will continue but there is a hope among protesters that the outcome will result in a more inclusive democracy. but i. stuck above niagara falls for more than a century as moving closer to the edge because of bad weather look at this the boat known as the iron scow was wedged on rocks about 600 meters from the edge of the falls but there's been lots of rain and strong winds and it's pushed it 50 metres
