donald trump of peach when wiring is democrats prepared to release key testimony. at the baghdad roadside which iraqi protesters have transformed into a canvas of this complex. in sports south africa's world cup winning rugby team has arrived on to a hero's welcome but by captaincy khaleesi the squad is now set for a 5 day victory parade around the country. yemen's internationally recognized government has signed a power sharing agreement with southern separatists the deal was brokered by saudi arabia and aims to end months of violence between government forces and the u.a.e. backed fighters saudi crown prince mohammed bin sound man says it's a step towards a broader solution to the war in yemen our diplomatic editor james bays reports now
12:02 am
from the united nations. a deal is signed that it's hoped may bring peace to one part of the violent war in yemen presiding at a ceremony saudi crown prince mohammed bin so man those signing the government of yemen president had he a key saudi ally was among those present and the southern transitional council which was strongly backed by the united arab emirates even though all the while they've remained part of the saudi led coalition in yemen but the real war in yemen is obviously between the hard government saudi that coalition and the who are these so this is just a sideshow and this is kind of a small breakthrough in the sideshow that only occurred very recently at the u.n. in new york the deal was welcomed by the u.k. ambassador the current president of the u.n. security council and this is a good step forward and in that brings the satin transitional council into the
12:03 am
government and we hope that the agreement will last and will be the 1st step if you like on to increase momentum at to get across yemen political process yemen's conflict is complex and multi-dimensional southerners of long had grievances the south was a separate country for much of the cold war but it's worth noting that the last time a yemen peace deal was signed in stockholm almost a year ago the south was relatively quiet. the most recent clashes there only broke out this summer and in part this was linked to the u.a.e. which had the main international force in the south pulling most of its troops from the saudi led coalition the latest developments are important but they don't mean an end to the wider war and in particular the conflict between saudi arabia and the who thiis who still control a large portion of the country including the capital sanaa james pays out 0 at the
12:04 am
united nations. where the head of the who these assault call the interim revolution . committee mohammad ali l. who's he has responded to the agreement in a tweet he said egremont doesn't mean anything to the yemeni people because it is between 2 treacherous agents representing the aggressors and it clearly confirms the illegality of the aggression against yemen when middle east analyst bill lloyd joins us now in the studio thank you so much for being with us i mean this was almost was almost a war within a war so what do you make all of this agreement they seem to have reached to at least stabilize that part of yemen look i think it's important to neither overstate the importance or the understated it is it is the start and anything that brings the violence down in yemen is is a good thing we should accept that but i don't think we should say this is the beginning of of a big solution to the war because it's so complicated so many moving parts in this one because this is all about southern separate if you're fighting for that particular area so looking at the steps that one presumes would follow this
12:05 am
agreement there's meant to be the formation of a new cabinet within a month equal numbers of northerners and southerners the kind of give it a semblance of the reality perhaps of all of balance even that step power realistic is it one of the difficulties i think it's going to be very difficult if you think a boat iraq in the difficulties of putting cabinets together and who wants what ministry this is going to be very much a sore point how much is a hottie regime going to give to the s.t.c. the session his group there are other issues will the s.t.c. put aside its weapons will allow it to be absorbed and how do you forces that's an issue of trust and quite frankly trust is in short supply throughout yemen it's going to be tough i don't see this happening in a month i think it's going to be tricky and i think there's going to be breakdowns but as i said it is the start of something well that's certainly what the saudi crown prince will have been some money says it's a step towards a broader solution to the war in yemen do you agree with him and what do you think
12:06 am
his role has been in all of this because what are the saudis. really wanting out of the boy yemen right now moment so mom was caught because the u.a.e. had basically withdrawn and in the south the clashes between the hobby forces and the sea caused the saudis to put ground troops in the south now admits oman is already mired in this conflict with the who these the last thing he wants and needs is saudi troops in the south between 2 warring factions he had to find a solution whether that leads to a broader peace deal i mean who he's already said you know what we're not interested i think he's going to have to do something much bigger than what i've been saying for some time is a unilateral secession of the bombing put a fixed time on it show initiative and say ok if we want to broader peace deal i've got to give something i don't get the sense that he's prepared to do that yet and what do you think would have to change for him to be able to do that the appetite is less in effect. well i think certainly
12:07 am
a moment someone wants to get out he needs to go with that war is costing him a huge amount of damage in terms of the global image of saudi arabia he's trying to sell this image of saudi arabia he wants to float saudi aramco the i.p.o. initial public offering he needs to get out and it's also costing the saudi economy a huge amount of money at a time we need to direct that money into getting his very visionary plan to recharge the saudi economy revolutionize the saudi economy change saudi society he needs that money to be put into that project he needs to get out of this war the question is can he such a very proud american young man kind of can he find it within himself to take a step that moves it forward and as i said i think the way to move that forward is for a unilateral decision of the bombing we'll see how it develops middle east analyst a bit low as always thank you for joining us. coming up on this news hour
12:08 am
from london the world's 2nd largest polluter pulls out of the paris climate agreement calling it an unfair economic burden christians main opposition leader lays out his plan for how he would fix the brics a crisis if his labor party wins next month's election and then sports was really as melbourne cup horse races overshadowed by an animal cruelty investigation. but 1st the president on trump's acting chief of staff mick mulvaney has been summoned to testify in the impeachment of wiring and the testimonies of 2 key figures in the probe have also just been made public they are excerpts of interviews with the former u.s. special envoy to ukraine kurt volker and gordon sumlin the current us ambassador to the e.u. witnesses have said that volcker and song lend played a key role in trump's unofficial channel to ukrainian government officials trump is
12:09 am
accused of withholding military aid to ukraine unless it investigated his democratic rival joe biden. let's take a closer look at the at how the events unfolded between the u.s. president and his ukrainian counterpart on april 21st donald trump called volodymyr at zelinsky to congratulate him on his election victory on the week of july 18th trump ordered u.s. military aid for ukraine to be withheld and just a week later trump called the ukrainian president a 2nd time or more goes 12th on anonymous whistleblower filed a complaint over that call with the inspector general of the intelligence community on september 11th the us government released the ukrainian aid that it had been withholding 2 weeks later the white house released a rough transcript of president trump's july 25th phone call with zelinsky where politicians have been at all over whether the whistleblowers identity should be
12:10 am
revealed. every single member of this body should stand up and say that it is wrong to disclose his or her identity our rhetoric can sometimes be overheated but i'm appalled by these developments there's no other word for it we're in a moment of history when republicans over only a few weeks have shifted from saying that no laws were broken to saying that laws were broken but it's not impeachable to outright advocating that laws be broken oh idea that you would use an anonymous person to generate a piece of an inquiry is dangerous to the presidency itself and the full support statute was never designed for situations like this you can prosecute somebody based on a list of lower complaints because every defendant has a right to confront your accusers or how does your pastor joins us live now from washington d.c. had quite a few key testimonies revealed today what did we learn. well i think the
12:11 am
major bombshell here is the reversal of one of these key witnesses on of an answer to the question that is at the center of this impeachment inquiry and that is whether president trump use the power of his office to try to bribe the ukrainian government to launch investigations that would help trump politically while trump used u.s. security aid as leverage and the person who gave answers to this question is cordon song that he is the u.s. ambassador to the e.u. and he had 1st and neither there existed a quid pro quo but on this newly revealed transcript in which he had a chance to review the testimony of other witnesses who had implicated him by name he now says he suddenly remembers better and he now says that he remembers explicitly telling ukrainian officials that this security money was contingent on ukraine launching public investigations into trump's domestic political rivals now
12:12 am
trump had been pushing the president of ukraine to get these investigations launched and the fact that song lynn who was a trump donor before joining the state department the fact that he at 1st felt compelled to protect the president but now has had a change of heart it seems and is coming forward with this damning information against the president it really is a sign of how strong the case of the democrats has grown over these past weeks as witness after witness have come in through capitol hill to cooperate each other's testimonies that shrub did use the power of his office to try to compel ukraine to help him personally and political politically at the detriment of u.s. foreign policy and heidi with all the things that have been revealed how has the white house responded. well in fact the white house spokeswoman just released
12:13 am
a statement and it's interesting because she's looking at the same transcripts as we are and rather than focusing on the damning information all over these pages she's zeroing in on the literally the 2 lines that may help trump's case she writes ambassador solomon squarely states that he did not know and still does not know when why or by whom the aide was suspended now in fact those questions are exactly what impeachment investigators are trying to get answered at this point all the circumstantial evidence points to the the person who made that decision to suspend ukrainian aid to either trunk or members of his innermost circle including the white house chief of staff but what's ironic here is at the same time on one hand the white house is issuing this statement which condemns alaska that critical information in this impeachment inquiry on the other hand it is the entity that is
12:14 am
blocking these key witnesses that may have those answers from testifying further how does your pastor with a developing story from washington d.c. heidi thank you. right iran is taking another step away from the 2015 nuclear pact announcing it will start injecting uranium gas in the centrifuges that it's fordo plant that will allow for the production of enriched uranium which is needed to develop a nuclear bomb if tehran chose to build one at the moment that iran is enriching or purifying uranium up to 4.5 percent to help generate nuclear power that is above the 3.6 percent allowed under the nuclear deal although well below the weapons grade level of 90 percent however tehran is threatening to push enrichment back up to 20 percent and once this level is reached it would dramatically reduce the time needed to get up to that crucial 90 percent well in rain in leaders have always
12:15 am
maintained the country's nuclear program is for peaceful purposes and president hassan rouhani says the latest measures are reversible if all parties adhere to the 2015 nuclear deal or such a party has more now from tehran. president hassan rouhani arrived at this factory in teheran for an inauguration ceremony but he used it to announce iran's 4th and most significant step in scaling back its commitment to the 2015 nuclear deal more as for the door on iran's 4th step will be launched at the photo nuclear facility and i will advise the atomic energy organization to start as of tomorrow by feeding gas into the centrifuges i will also inform the p. 4 plus one of the step this new action will also be under the supervision of the international atomic energy agency for don't you clear facility is the only place where iran can and has produced 20 percent enriched uranium. that's considered an
12:16 am
important stage towards developing uranium with the potential for a nuclear weapon it has always been a controversial facility its existence was revealed to the world by iran in 2009 that was after the united states intelligence agencies alleged that there was a secret nuclear facility in iran and the president acknowledged that there are sensitivities surrounding the plant. this may increase concerns we know people are sensitive about for when it's centrifuges but whenever they uphold their commitments we will reverse our steps. under the nuclear deal of 2015 for doe had become solely a research facility it was one of the most contentious points of the joint comprehensive plan of action or way agreed with world powers to limit iran's nuclear program since the united states withdrew from the deal in may of 2013 and imposed the series of new sanctions on iran officials here decided to gradually
12:17 am
reduce their compliance and they have been saying that if they are not able to sell their oil or to get the benefit of the transaction with the global financial system there is no benefit for data to remain or party often cardio that to president rouhani declaring in may that every 60 days iran will announce another step until the remaining european signatories uphold their end of the. this latest announcement will have serious consequences for iran and officials here are very aware of that the president rouhani has stressed that all these measures are reversible as soon as the european signatories of the deal so for compliance until then iran will continue to take these steps while the international community continues its condemnations north. tower on. well as you heard iran's actions come in response to u.s. sanctions reinstated by president donald trump there's mixed feelings on how tehran's latest move could further impact the economy. i think it will
12:18 am
have a bad effect on our economy recently the economic activity has been stable it hasn't been excellent but it has been better than the last year and these aren't sions will take us a step backward. in time because i think that u.s. sanctions have had enough of a bad impact on iran's economy and there is no need for more sanctions every day use dollar rate changes i think iran should stand by its commitment to the deal in full. on the commom i think this deal is useless as long as we don't have a good relationship with a superpower countries such as us and those in the e.u. and even so you arabia who have the power because they have money that iraq's human rights commission says 2 people have been killed and dozens injured after security forces opened fire on protesters in basra they have been staging a sit in at the port when live ammunition was used to disperse the crowds
12:19 am
anti-government demonstrations at the port had halted its operations for most a week earlier 2 protesters were killed in the city of nasiriyah as thousands took part in one of the largest protests seen there so far. but the u.n. says iraqi security forces are continuing to commit human rights violations against protesters the latest report indicates a demonstration related violence from the 25th of october november 4th cause at least $97.00 further deaths and thousands of injuries or the iraqi security officials could displayed more restraint that in previous protests earlier in october particularly in baghdad the unlawful use of lethal and less lethal weapons by security forces and armed people requires urgent attention as protesters keep up their pressure on the government some young iraqis are using art to demonstrate their desire for change that has the story. these students are

skipping school to give the government a master class in protest art we want to live in peace ok so. we're trying to set free and art so people can understand art is a language that everyone can understand this once gritty tunnel underneath tahrir square has become perhaps the country's longest mural i think all the young people painting his say is a sacred place said they want to make it a symbol of the revolution there are ranges from simple messages such as free iraq to elaborate symbols of liberation and fortitude it wasn't as though the issues i'm painting a lion of mesopotamia that represents the hero protesters i have found a lot of heroes demanding their rights this is an art installation featuring tear gas and stun grenades canisters that protesters have collected as well as photos of
