enrichment at one of its nuclear facilities and its latest move to step back from the 2015 nuclear deal. and campaigning begins in the u.k. as parliament says dissolved ahead of snap elections that could determine the fate of brics it's. well the impeachment inquiry into don't want trump is stepping up a gear televised public hearings are set to start next week and one of the 1st to appear is said to be william taylor america's top diplomats in ukraine well in newly released schools door testimony taylor said it was his clear understanding that the president had withheld military aid to ukraine because he wanted kiev to investigate his political rival joe biden and his son who was working there the

testimony matches other witnesses including the united states ambassador to the u.s. . i think you will see throughout the course of the testimony not only their testimony but many others the. most important facts are largely not contested we are getting an increasing appreciation for just what took place during the course of the last year and the degree to which the president and listed the whole departments of government in elicit a move trying to get you primed to dig up dirt on a political opponent as well as further conspiracy theory about the 2016 election that he believed would be beneficial to his reelection campaign well heidi jocasta has more ny from washington d.c. . bill taylor is the acting ambassador to ukraine and for impeachment investigators

he served as a guide giving the road map with conversations dates and people connecting the dots to make this case to investigators that trump use the power of his office to try to get ukraine to help him with his political campaign for reelection now taylor testified behind closed doors 2 weeks ago but according to the transcript that was just released he said he had a clear understanding that there was a quid pro quo and he said the idea for this came from trump's private attorney who was empowered by the president to circumvent regular diplomatic channels in order to carry out this foreign policy in ukraine that prioritize trumps political interests above that of national security now moving forward investigators have announced that public hearings will begin taking place next week which is at the key of what democrats who are trying to impeach president trump want to accomplish

they want more members of the american public to hear the case for impeaching the president from these witnesses themselves up until this point all of the hearings have happened behind closed doors so the information to americans have has come filter through hundreds of journalists but even up to this point there is a growing number of americans who according to polls do support impeaching him even removing trump from office that number is hovering right around 50 percent democrats are hoping that if they can get a clear majority of the public to support them to impeach the president then perhaps they can make a convincing argument to their republican colleagues in the senate who ultimately will be deciding the president's guilt or innocence and perhaps remove him from office. and democrats in the us and seizes a number of republicans in state polls just a year before the presidential election it's

a setback for president donald trump who campaigned for fellow republicans before cheese days elections lopez who then has more. democrat and he bashir says he's won kentucky's race for governor. it was a typo motion especially for a conservative leaning state. it's a message that says our elections don't have to be about right versus left they are still about right versus wrong. it's seen as a setback for president donald trump who easily won kentucky in 2016 the kentucky is leading the way and personally campaign for republican governor matt bevan whose recent fights with labor unions and teachers made him among the least popular governors in the country here's a story for you when they go to make it like call home and if you lose they get to say trump suffered the greatest defeat in the history of the world this was the

greatest you can't let that happen to me. was in the one swing state of virginia democrats won the majority in both the house and the senate a 1st in more than 2 decades virginia is essential a big congratulations to shift could give the party control to pass controversial laws on gun control that were previously blocked by republicans. in the conservative state of mississippi republicans won big victory. reeves took the governor's seat against the state's attorney general jim hood the victory seen as a sign of stability for trump a year before the presidential race these elections are a glimpse into what president from could expect in his 2020 reelection bid including whether the death. credible impeachment inquiry is swinging his base katia will most of the young dizzier. well the results from choose their selections

haven't stopped donald trump on the campaign stunt so these are live pictures from louisiana where trump is a campaigning for the final governor's race of the year that election will take place in a matter of a week so let's get more on these elections and the implications for elections to come bill schneider is a political analyst and the public policy professor at george mason university joins us now on skype from washington d.c. good to have you with this here on out in syria let's start with the impeachment inquiry which is leads in the headlines how much do you think that influenced choose these local elections. not a great deal because it's still undecided and voters are still trying to assess what the backs are they haven't heard the direct testimony only the transcripts

they have been published nothing has been public yet so i'm not sure the voters knew exactly what to make of the impeachment hearings they're going to be public starting next week and they can assess it for themselves and either they're going to hear information that's devastating for president trump and for the republicans war just as likely the president's course supporters will be energized the angry they'll see this the way the president sees it as an attempt to belittle find the president he calls it a witch hunt and we will be activated to come out in very large numbers we don't know which reaction will prevail all still to play for but they were quite dramatically election results on cheese day the state of virginia went completely believe for the 1st time and many many years and certainly one of the closely watched fights was of course that governor's race in kentucky still contested but it does look like the incumbency trump was stumping for may have marginally lost

that fight for a few one of the main takeaways all of a cheese days elections. main takeaway is that the election was all about president trump he personalized his politics a great speaker of the american house of representatives once said all politics is local that was about 40 years ago it's not anymore for trump all politics is personal he makes it about himself you heard him say to the audience in kentucky are you have to save me from the people who are trying to bring me down and in virginia with their with the president did not go because he's not very popular in virginia it is a swing state in virginia that democrats really rallied against president trump they used him as a symbol of everything you were trying to overcome i caking over the state legislature the whole election in virginia and kentucky was made into a person vote on god will trump he is the keep the here now you know american

politics it's all about him which may be the way he likes it and well it may be the way he likes it but certainly given the results in kentucky where they've lost the republican incumbents do you think trump helps or hinders in these cases i think he helped him to be hovering cumbered who came very very close because the republican incumbent is probably the least popular governor in the country he has very special problems he is brusque he is even is abrasive the voters of kentucky given very low ratings and when trump started campaigning there actually the race pop culture so you can argue that he helped the republican he just wasn't enough republican in the have a losing by a very thin margin in the pre-election polls he was losing by a bigger margin but in virginia trumps unpopularity clearly made a difference and the democrats triumph well if i am politics is personal now than it is all about donald trump what do you think the implications are for the

democrats when it comes to tackling the 2020 base. well certainly it's going to be an election about trump he's on the ballot people are going to have voting. pire him he is going to try and make the democrat the issue no matter who the democrats nominated by argue that his he may not be the best president that people have ever seen but the fact is the democrats are dangerous the radicalised here socialists they have all sorts of serious plans. for trying on the country he wants to make it about the democrats but insists it's going to be about him and must wait expected to be coming president he's running for reelection ok but bill schneider will have to leave it there but great to get your thoughts and analysis bill schneider policy analyst joining us from washington d.c. . now to former twitter employees have been charged with spying for sunday

arabia a complaint unsealed in a san francisco district courts alleges the pair accessed personal information of more than $6000.00 twitter users including prominent critics of the society royal family prosecutors say the employees an american and society national were rewarded with a design a watch and tens of thousands of dollars in secret bank accounts they've been charged with acting as agents all of riyadh's with rights registering with the u.s. government's a 3rd man another say the citizen has also been charged in the case let's get more now from rob reynolds he joins us live from los angeles at rupp what we can you tell us about this case. well this is now the 1st time hala that the u.s. authorities say they have charged or or. implicated saudi arabia in espionage activities on u.s.

soil and it is spying plot that began in 2015 it was in that year and shortly before the spying at twitter began that one of those engineers who you mentioned was under arrest flew to washington d.c. and met with an identified member of the saudi royal family now the defacto ruler of saudi arabia crown prince for hama been soman is also mentioned in the criminal complaint he's referred to as royal family member number one the spies gathered all sorts of information including e-mail addresses ip addresses and dates of birth of people who were posting on twitter any criticism or of the saudi regime and one of the. accounts among those thousands that you mentioned that were breached were that of

a prominent dissident omar abdel aziz he's got about a 1000000 followers on twitter and zs was close to the washington post journalist jamal khashoggi who of course was murdered by saudi state agents inside the saudi consulate in istanbul last year a u.s. attorney david anderson news in charge of the case referred to the saudi regime in his remarks saying quote we will not allow u.s. companies or u.s. technology to become tools of foreign repression and twitter also respondents with praise for the investigation and promising to do its best to guard the. identities and the nonpublic information of anyone on the social media platform who discusses dissident a dissident dissent or human rights violations and freedom of speech and things of

that nature. and robot just the c.-t. think about the city governments and to protect the security of social media platforms well you know it's says a lot about how far the saudi regime is willing to go to stifle any voices of dissent even anonymous twitter users and it's kind of chilling hala when you consider that this is a government that is willing to carry out a brutal murder of a prominent journalist jamal khashoggi on in a foreign country in the in a saudi consul then how much more exposed are ordinary saudi subjects who might have something to say that would be construed as criticism it's chilling to think and again of course it also raises questions about the security and the seriousness

and the the gaps in security at the social media platforms and the way that they're being used not only for political propaganda as we've seen but now to keep tabs on dissidents and possibly to carry out reprisals against them rob rannells their life is in the sun just thank you very much indeed. those most still to come on the news are getting some police officers in chile are under the lens for their conduct during anti-government protests a rare attack on tourists and jordan we'll have that story for you later in the show lasts and sports 3 to inspect their place in the knockout rounds of the european championships and he will be here with more. iran has resumed enriching uranium at an underground facility it began injecting uranium gas into centrifuges at the fordo plants for midnight local time so iran

a deal isn't reached before the project is complete is before 2022 al-jazeera mike hanna has more now from washington d.c. . well it came as a surprise when the foreign ministers arrived in the white house for talks with president trump there'd be no prior notification whatsoever and news of the meeting was only confirmed when the president himself tweeted a photograph with the foreign ministers after the talks had taken place he said that the meeting went well and that discussions would continue the 3 foreign ministers are in d.c. for talks under the mediation of the treasury secretary steve this is a curious choice by president to head east talks given that this would normally be a function fulfilled by the department of state however the talks continue through the day very low profile no media access whatsoever in fact was never confirmed where the meeting was taking place how long it took there has been promise of

a written statement when the talks conclude however this is a significant shift forward in terms of the fact that the talks between the 3 parties have broken down 3 times since 2014 the important point would appear to be ethiopia's willingness to come to d.c. for a long period of time it insisted there can be no outside mediation if the situation has to be resolved between the 3 parties themselves however the fact that the foreign minister was here in d.c. was speaking to the other 2 foreign ministers and to the mediation of the u.s. treasury secretary a very strong indication that they could be movement that after years of argument there is a possibility of some kind of agreement in the months to come. 8 people have been injured in a knife attack in the jordanian city of popular 2 isn't sports 3 mexicans and a swiss national were among those stats and smith reports from the jordanian

about asylum and integration is at granting the right stay use actively based on our principles and goals rather than passively carried out as long as the cases. the government wants to introduce immigration quotas for workers and attempt to address the country's skilled labor shortage in industries such as construction there are also plans to tighten rules for asylum seekers access to health care will be limited and benefits more rigorously controlled the number of asylum applications has increased in france in recent years and the government says it must crack down on those who abuse the system rights campaigners say that asylum seekers already face very difficult conditions in france many of them end up sleeping rough in makeshift camps like this one in paris and the thing is that the government's new measures will only make the situation worse. the prime minister says france most regain its sovereignty well before cantor wants to be more

southern which will start by getting rid of these undignified camps in our cities then we can talk about sovereignty and humanity. halfway through his presidential term emanuel macro is taking a tougher line on immigration but it's a gamble he may succeed in wooing voters away from his main political opponents the far right and stem the rise of what he calls dangerous populism but he also risks alienating some supporters who say that he's failing to up hold france's humanitarian values the sasha butler al-jazeera paris. is a senior analyst on the migration and asylum policy is sent the open society european policy institute she says the measures are unlikely to move right when voters. the plan was initially thought up as a way to l.a. citizens alleged concerns about migration and move back from the far right the

actual impact will be terrible for the population which is most affected which is asylum seekers who will lose their access to universal health care for the 1st 3 months after they reach france but it will also have other sort of more negative consequences the main one being of course that it is to my eyes is as your reporter was saying the language and actions and policies of the far right. i very much doubt it will succeed in the sense that normally what happens and we've seen that in democracy there in italy we've seen that in spain when mainstream parties try to parrot the far right voters still choose the original and they also risk switching to parties on the other extreme as well to to move to the left and in terms of the population of asylum seekers the impact will be terrible as i said it makes no sense from a public health perspective to stop as i am seekers who may need primary care from accessing it and it could also lead to

a treatable diseases going untreated to children not being vaccinated to pregnant women not having the prenatal care they need so it makes very little friends and it also makes very little sense because the population we're talking about is very very small despite all the for and talk about gaining control and so on france had 110000 asylum applications last year of which about 16000 were from the nationalities which are being targeted in georgia so we're talking 16000 people on a population in france of 67000000 that's hardly a crisis and it hardly warrants emergency measures. the killing of a mexican american family by an armed group in mexico has stunned people on both sides of the border u.s. president donald trump has offered help saying it's time to wage war on cartels or mexico has rejected that strategy. the security situation is under close scrutiny is the country sees record levels of foreigners john home and reports.

that in mexico there blanket impunity exists and has done for years almost 90 percent of murders go unsolved according to an independent think tank in the country suffering record levels of violence on tuesday president trump tweeted his solution war on the cartels and promised u.s. help in a phone call to mit's can president and raise money well lopez obrador. permits cruz tried to allow confrontation before and it's only up the body count there not been jams we do not think by riddling with bullets slaughtering with the use of force with blood and fire the problem will be resolved. he's instead betting on a long term strategy social programs that will give the young and poor another option than joining organized crime. and in this. the new fools the national guard but although the national guard has been deployed its impact appears

to be limited and its role unclear meanwhile the government hasn't overly focused on strengthening the institutions that might be able to stop impunity like the police public prosecutors the judiciary. but for now the pressure to finally make mexico safe is not just coming from within the country but from the powerful neighbor to the north john homan out zita mexico city. iraq's capital face an internet blackout for a 2nd straight day on weapon state a spokesman for the military says social media sites a poll isn't in the minds of youth iraq's been in the grip of anti-government demonstrations for weeks night as anger over corruption proved public services and unemployment and sasha getting reports from back that. each day since the protests began hider raw it has been working this stretch near tahrir square selling iraqi flags for less than a dollar each the teenager dropped out of school when he was 8 to help support his
