in east foley's daughters smugly to survive on al-jazeera. 3 more iraqi protesters were killed in baghdad during their fight for political and economic reform. richelle carey this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up. he wants a trial in the republican controlled senate to decide his fate. a defiant benjamin netanyahu announces charges of corruption and says he will carry on as israel's leader. and on the list to be so we watch law enforcement agency describes their farcical in africa i know that this is

a little on the presidential level. but again in iraq where security forces have killed 3 protesters in the capital baghdad and that takes the total number killed since the beginning of october to at least $329.00 demonstrators have been rallying against corruption and unemployment the government has responded by promising political and social reforms simona holton in fact that. it's been a not a violent day in baghdad but here's where i spoke to several eyewitnesses both protesters as well as volunteer who say they. are one of the major protests here in baghdad near our budget where security forces the board of tear gas as well as live ammunition to discourse disperse protesters around and i also spoke to one of the volunteer medics and one of those men. clinics read. he has treated several

injured protesters have received blood i mean it's not it's important to say that some of the volatile also coming from the protesters there for one molotov cocktails in the direction of the security forces and also spoke to one protester was a key part of a group who had actually tried to capture and beat one of the members of the of the riot forces you know we're also seeing a lot of funeral processions today a lot of caskets being carried through to here where people company building a final farewell to those who were passed away yesterday in the marshes and of course these funerals for the galvanize the crowds manual for anger and as the crowd surged here in tahrir square we're likely to see more confrontations. the. president total trump says he wants a trial in the republican controlled senate if he is impeached by the house he defended using his private attorney rudy giuliani to work on ukraine policy because

of his reputation as quote a great crime fighter house intelligence committee has wrapped up a 2nd week of impeachment hearings looking into accusations that trump pressured ukraine to and best his political rivals there was no due process as you can have lawyers do we couldn't have any witnesses we want to call the whistleblower but you know what i want is the 1st witness because frankly i want to trial you know i could take i could have it you want to try whatever i want oh i would let you look number one they should never ever impeached. oh it's a wide ranging interview with fox news and the president went on to say that hong kong would be destroyed if it wasn't for him if it weren't for me i'm coming with a good old literary didn't look at 14 minutes to get a 1000000 soldiers standing outside of their own going in only because i ask him please don't do that you'll be making a big mistake it's going to have

a tremendous negative impact on the trade you can really help get us more from washington d.c. the latest wording from the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell is that yes if there is the drafting of the articles of impeachment by the house judiciary it's up to nancy pelosi to make sure then that goes to the floor of the house of representatives that does appear the trajectory that it is taking and certainly one the donald trump has said he wants given the fact that the argument has been from the white house all to this point that they have not had an opportunity to defend the president but the real reason is that that chamber of the upper chamber in the u.s. congress is controlled by republicans the president's own party and that's where he feels in fact he spoke on fox and friends a conservative leaning morning show this morning with the president had a very long and winding interview where he says he doesn't expect that he will be impeached it's not a certainty though and so that's why he's been waging a charm offensive he's been fighting republicans to the white house kind of to try

and make sure that they're on board backing him. samberg vice president of democracy and government reform at the center for american progress my colleague finnegan spoke to him earlier and asked about the strength of the testimonies certainly in the explosive week of testimony that i think laid out a very clear case that the president hasn't committed impeachable offenses perhaps the the most shocking testimony came over wednesday and thursday 1st investor gordon somnolent who was trump's point person in ukraine basically saying that everyone was in on it the highest reaches of government were aware of what he was doing and signing off on it and then the next day with dr fiona hill coming to realization almost before our eyes that what she was doing namely running a process to protect american national security was not the primary focus in ukraine rather it was investor solomon's efforts to obtain these investigations to

help the president politically that was at least the white house's focus with respect to ukraine so given all of that why would the president through his spokesman say that he would welcome an impeachment trial in the senate while i think obviously any sort of statement by this white house has to be taken with a grain of salt but i think in part what you saw alluding to was remember the point of this was to try and join up investigations in order to help the president politically and what he's suggesting is he'd like to use the senate to do just that basically to attack his political rivals through the guise of combating corruption israel's prime minister says he will not step down after being charged with corruption offenses benjamin netanyahu has criticized investigators calling his indictment an attempted coup turning general charge netanyahu with bribery fraud and breach of trust and 3 cases harry fosset report so muster a slim. israel's president says his country is going through harsh and dark days hard to detect perhaps in the autumn sunshine in west jerusalem the talk to

a few of those making the most of it in the shadow of this political crisis is never far away the country has to be skewered it carefully and responsibly and we know you no one questions how responsible that stewardship is going to be in the coming months here for the 1st time a sitting israeli prime minister has been indicted for crimes he's alleged to have carried out while in office but there are still plenty of israelis who agree with him that the case is politically motivated they don't like trump. that they're going to get him just as the same thing with with bibi a lot people have enough of him where he's been there long enough that's it i'm not saying he is innocent not saying he's guilty in a sense israelis have got used over many months to the details of these indictments the case has been set out at some length so to they've got used to netanyahu repeated attacks against the media and the legal establishment nonetheless what happened on thursday night was particularly stark and it sent

a political shockwave through this country and through a system already stressed to breaking point no functioning government the prospect of a 3rd election and a prime minister attacking the legal establishment as he fights to stay in office could go on as one limiting the polluted investigation against me erodes the public faith in the system they should worry every citizen we have to put an end to this israeli newspapers have featured editorials urging netanyahu to resign for the good of the country some calling on senior members of his own likud party to engineer it it's not a big chance or a big possibility but there might be some cracks within likud or cracks in the $55.00 bloc of the right maybe because the indictment now is final maybe there will be some cracks there this this could be the political influence of this indictment what's clear is that netanyahu intends to fight off all challenges to his position be they legal or political and if there's one thing he's learned in his decades in israeli politics it's how to survive

a force that al-jazeera west jerusalem. probably safe to fessor international law the hebrew university of jerusalem i spoke to marley or and asked if and how they political stalemate in israel will affect that now his enticement it's a sad day for israel the sitting prime minister was indicted or ever it proves that israel has a very impartial legal system and that nobody is above the law so in that sense although it's a sad occasion israelis can be proud of their dish will system. judicial systems grind very slowly so again he can claim immunity they're the guy but hasn't yet been presented to court it's a long long. as pressure on him to resign but so far he hasn't shown by medicines or any signs that he's willing to attend. and not only not showing any signs he's using language as lake like you know an attempted coup having the investigators investigated when you talk about the rule of law and the fact that in some ways

it's a sad day but you see that as a silver lining in that this is the rule of law. are you troubled by him using that type of of language to sort of a demonize the judiciary somebody once accused you of being a dr jekyll and mr hyde in other words as a prime minister he's been very sober bay careful very cautious but when he comes his personal issues he's a bit he's spoken babe been addicted to nasty language so we had a little split personality the prime minister on security issues as been very careful and respected over but when it comes to his personal personal life it was a real problem the united nations envoy for yemen has told the u.n. security council that the number of attacks by the saudi led coalition has dropped dramatically in recent weeks aren't professors the reduction in violence could possibly pave the way for an end to the conflict in the last 2 weeks the rage of

that war has dramatically reduced. they were reportedly almost 80 percent of strikes nationwide then in the 2 weeks prior and i realize the these are short periods but nonetheless it is striking and in recent weeks there have been entire 48 hour periods without strikes actual the 1st time since the conflict began we call this the escalation a reduction in the tempo of the wall and perhaps we hope a move towards an overall cease fire in yemen the u.s. has imposed sanctions on iran's and formation minister mohammad job as arias harami and accused him of widespread internet censorship of iran imposed online restrictions to common nationwide protests against fuel hikes that's government is one of he'll against a court ruling that would force it to repatriate the children of eisel fighters

earlier court in the hague had ruled that more than 50 children in the whole camp and northern syria should be brought back some with their mothers or higher court overturn the ruling saying repatriation was a political issue rather than a legal one. still ahead on al-jazeera. was. the out. from a show of unity on a national day as protesters call for real and dependence last but the black market cards are what has killed people and made them sick so that to me is the biggest misconception. yes to back up companies and says their products are safe as the government considers a ban. how rain and snow have been sweeping east through iran that's the latest systems is

really we're talking about afghanistan rather anywhere else behind it slow change taking place conversion to winter so still some potential snow as a version or the northwest of iran to iran's hold on about 9 degrees this cloud might produce a few showers but it's not quite like it was and behind it the moment rankers 13 in aleppo 17 at the clouds across the western side of turkey's moving eastwards. so at least cloud things up but nothing else appears to change immediately if anything does more in the west sunshine into iran on the southern caspian and south of all the things across and down as well as she has gone so terms have been rising around the gulf and in riyadh the still the light down the mountains of western saudi even through yemen and possibly long the coast of amman was a breeze there says so were picks up for a while there on both saturday and sunday the horn of africa receives big showers to further saswata start an active night in botswana since we caught

a few showers on the satellite picture south africa the picture looks fine from space on the forecast shows one of 2 shows need to happen. an alaskan village rapidly losing ground to the road falling permafrost its inhabitants forced to move to safer ground below in the western pacific kristie environment one at risk when it says a witness finds people struggling to cope with rising sea there and asked whether those who have the power to stop it appreciate the true cost of failing to act on al-jazeera.

watching out a serial in the top stories right now iraqi security forces have shot 3 protesters dead in baghdad protest against corruption unemployment and poor public services began in early october israel's prime minister says corruption charges against him are a coup attempt benjamin netanyahu is facing bribery fraud and breach of trust allegations president tom trump says the impeachment inquiry is a sham he insists he's done nothing wrong and would welcome a trial in the senate if the house voted to impeach. after years of protests and political turmoil voters and anybody sour hoping sunday's presidential election will finally to pace i don't rallies are being held to the incumbent as a mario vos wants another term despite failing to stabilize the economy and the

west african nation and deal with a growing in legal drug trade but he says he will respect the result even if he loses joins us live from the capital this hour so what's the atmosphere like. over so we've been following this election for about a week in this by the political turmoil it's an atmosphere of carnival it and then if you can see right behind me there's music pumping there's people wearing masks dressing. and really an atmosphere of celebration why well because this by the political crisis people still believe in the political system many young people went out. in these campaigns were here in the final campaign rally there's just about 6 hours left for those 12 counted aides. to wrap up their campaign before the vote that will take on sunday will be a break over the weekend and so it's been attended by thousands of people here it is the reality of domingo should more spirit the leader of the g.c.

the biggest political party in the country and he has been at odds with president chose a vase maria we see to be the one that has been blocking the situation here that has been causing this political deadlock because over the course of the 5 years he has dismissed 8 governments he's overstayed his time in power and what that means in practice is that no laws has been voted no budgets have been approved and in a country where most people live on less than 2 dollars a day well international juno donors has refused to hand out bailouts and help to this population and so that's why richelle this country in particular that's on the edge of west africa has been particularly attractive to colombian venezuelan drug dealers who funnel their their drugs cocaine here in guinea bissau and then

send it to europe just in the in the last 2 months we've seen 2 big seizures 2 tons of cocaine at that was seized in a month ago and a few months ago in march of 1 ton of cocaine in the past 5 years under tools of our body of oz there's been 25 tons of cocaine that have been seized in this country but there's much more that has not been season so law enforcement agency like the drug enforcement agency the anti drug enforcement agency the american drug enforcement agency calls this country africa's 1st narco state so a lot at stake during this election michel ok and i ok mr nicholas hawke and the south thank you. well the tape parades have gone away giving way to protest marches in lebannon as it marks its 76th independence day administrators have gathered or they're there to see downtown beirut they have been calling for political and economic change protests began last month over new taxes and

a failing economy jamal oshawa has more from beirut it is a mixture of celebration as well as maybe it's a determination or an insistence lots of this uprising that many of your considered to be a revolution continues for. not wanting to be such a month of these protests the more the crowd over a few on the come or just on a basis for the past hour or so has been a parade rather than the normal military parade that you would have it is a civil parade made up of different boats a battalions consisting of different sectors of lebanese society one of those who participated in this assault on your shoes your public policy expert you've been to supporting the protests very vocal about it tell me what's your why this is the. anniversary of for independence this year what makes a difference for my viewers. mainly that it's 50 bowl have reclaimed their

lands people have reclaimed ownership of public spaces there are presenting civs of what it means to have her prison and to use it for the 1st time in the lebanese history that we have a full on revolution and at some point our word was contested and some people are saying it's demonstrations and revolution is seeking to up through the entire political system the banking system the social system it's all everyone here is demonstrating against our. palestinians are campaigning in support of a journalist who lost his eye after being shot by israeli forces the palestinian journalists and the kid says more than 100 journalists have been wounded by israeli soldiers and. abraham reports from the occupied west bank this is the moment that triggered that international solidarity campaign palestinian t.v. news camera. blinded in one eye while filming

a protest last friday. his colleagues blame israeli gunfire israel's border police deny targeting the t.v. journalist and released this video saying police used only non-lethal means to disperse the crowd demonstrating against israel's confiscation. i met i was so badly injured he's lost his left eye and doctors say a piece of metal might have to remained lodged in his skull removing it could cause irreversible damage they see. i was standing away from the protesters and away from the me i was taking cover and was surprised by something hitting me so hard that i couldn't feel my heat his wife says her family burden has increased dividing her day between taking care of her 2 children and visiting her injured husband in a hospital in jerusalem. my daughter is very attached to her father

when she 1st knew he was shot she puts her hand on her heart saying it was my dad injured then she disappeared weeping palestinian journalists started an awareness online campaign that went viral to highlight what they say is targeting the journalists by israeli forces either one of them bethlehem inserted that if you with the injured journalist turned violent when the israeli army dispersed the crowd. protests are regular events and can happen anywhere in the occupied territories safer places are not always available and sometimes to tell the story journalists find themselves becoming a part of it. it is plight. many other journalists are nursing injuries without the. i'll tell you that is a freelance news cameraman in the gaza strip he was hit by an israeli. year while covering on the border between gaza and israel he says he lost vision in one eye

and is having difficulties. as a journalist ican cover the same events anymore i can't afford being in crowded places like funerals i have platinum implants in my face in effect me the palestinian journalist syndicate says more than 100 journalists have been wounded in attacks by israeli forces so far this is. the occupied west bank. calling the united kingdom an. occupier that's after the u.k. missed a deadline to return the check. united nations in the 6 months to give the archipelago back to. britain kept the islands after. dependents then in the 1970 s. that forced the people living there so the u.s. can build an air base the russian prime minister condemned the action. the united kingdom you know profess to be

a champion of the rule of law and human rights while maintaining an illegal ministry ssion in part of the territory. and preventing the return. of the former inhabitants it forcibly removed 5 decades ago thereby being in clear violation of international law and the social upheaval in chile is taking a heavy toll on private and public property or latin america has more from santiago . anger seems to be the common denominator among chilean protesters who've been on the streets for 5 weeks. but not all express that anger the same way some do it by going into the battle against riot police armed with stones sticks and even molotov cocktails they describe themselves as the front line of defense. i'm here to defend our people against police repression that's who we've come to

fight. the vast majority are young like one in peril not their real names. it's unfair that we've had to resort to these extremes to be heard we protested peacefully for years and only now that there's upheaval does the state take notice both a 17 year old students from a public secondary school who want to go to university but both of their parents are still struggling to pay off their own studies. and by now my mother is $39.00 and she still owes $9000.00 it's terrible it's a case in water health all of a person's basic needs are a business here and that's why we're so angry. they say the only use violence against security forces not to destroy property. but there is another type of protest or the kind that justifies for example the looting of this wholesale so. a market and not just moving but also other types of destruction and violence as

a means to an end. according to the government criminal gangs and drug traffickers are responsible for around 30 percent of the widespread damage to public and private property. but who are the rest many are young men and women from santiago's poor neighborhoods where anger has been simmering for decades. that are. also not their real names describe themselves as radical opponents of chile's socially unequal system but. it's a system to make us the crumbs while the upper class accumulates more well all the anger that are marginally station people look down on us because we're on the periphery they distrust you no matter how hard you work or try your shot out. more and that might be a wanted to study architecture but instead says she was lucky just to get a job as a security guard in a posh uptown building now they say it's time for the political and economic

establishment to feel fear that i will need to be shaken from their comfort zone they better not think that i will just go and march down the street with signs and go back to sleep in our beds let them feel afraid to direct action before social change. they know they risk prison if they're caught destroying property or attacking police but like a great many of those who vent their rage like this they seem convinced that as things stand now they have little to lose you see in human scent. the us president is set to meet leaders from the cigarette industry after he announced his plans to introduce a ban on most of a ping products ever elizondo reports a man in a cowboy hat relaxing in the countryside with a cigarette dangling from his lips that's all smoking was portrayed back in the 1960 s. in a commercial for barbara's cigarettes highlighting the taste of

a cigarette the comic add ins with the words come to where the flavor is more than 50 years later smoking has changed a lot to back users can now smoke through electronic devices it's called beeping and according to the world health organization 41000000 people do it at vapor worldwide in maryland a store that sells all things babying that means business was good with record sales thanks to more than 100 customers a day but that all changed quickly and now we can be as low as 30 to about 60 on the i haven't seen more than 62 people in one day since september 11th that's the day president donald trump announced he was considering banning some forms of a ping response to several high profile deaths attributed to it at issue is the flavored electronic they being liquid that makes up the different flavors that makes it so popular this is what trump is considering banning here at this baby

shop they sell hundreds of different kinds of flavors of the liquid there's blueberry banana mango iced berries lemon just to name a few eric the owner says that the perception that this is dangerous is simply wrong when we read the headlines that people are dying from east cigarettes and vapor that connotates that they're dying from this from vaporing nicotine liquids nicotine liquids that are regulated by the f.d.a. we know what's inside here but the black market carts are what has. killed people made them sick so that to me is the biggest misconception but some health advocates in the us disagree and are encouraging trump to ban babying the american lung association knows that the only thing anyone should inhale into their wangs is clean air and tragically we've had misperceptions and

misconceptions coming from the cigarette industry official advice in places like the u.k. remains that babying is much safer than smoking regular cigarettes but the future of the cigarette industry in the u.s. is now in the hands of president trump gabriels rando. gaithersburg maryland. i'm sure kerry these are the headlines right now on al jazeera iraqi security forces have shot 3 protesters dead in baghdad against corruption unemployment and for public services began in early october it's been a fulton has more from baghdad. and i spoke to several eyewitnesses both protesters as well as volunteer medics say they last year one of the major bridges here in baghdad near our budget where security forces the board both tear gas as well as

live ammunition to discourse disperse protesters around and i also spoke to one of the volunteer medics in one of those makeshift clinics read with told me that he had treated several injured protesters had received live ammunition now it's important to say that. coming from the protesters israel's prime minister says corruption charges against him are a coup attempt benjamin netanyahu is facing bribery fraud and breach of trust allegations as president says the impeachment inquiry is a sham he insists he's done nothing wrong and says he would welcome a trial in the senate if the house votes to impeach him. but there was no due process as you can't have lawyers we couldn't have any witnesses we want to go the whistleblower but you know what i want is the 1st witness because frankly i want to drug you know i could think i could have it you want to try whatever you want oh i wouldn't look number one they should never ever impeached the u.s. has imposed sanctions on iran's information minister job it is our original romy

and accused him of widespread internet censorship iran imposed online restrictions they say to call nationwide protests against fuel hikes the dutch government has won an appeal against a court ruling that would force it to repatriate the children of ice all fighters military parades have given way to protest marches as lebanon marks its 76th independence day so the live pictures right there seems a little bit calmer than it was before the demonstrators are and downtown beirut they have been calling for a political and economic change these protests began last month over a new taxes and a failing economy as are the headlines keep it here on al-jazeera inside story is next.
