some of their like. they damning impeachment report accuses donald trump of soliciting help from ukraine's president to boost his chances of re-election. columns a robin you're watching al-jazeera live my headquarters here in doha also coming up an all could alliance the french and u.s. presidents at the center of a divisive nato meeting. and anger and frustration in the democratic republic of congo in the state of security as more people are attacked and killed by armed groups and devastation after more children die as a meals are breaking ravages the tiny south pacific island off some are.

welcome to the program donald trump's political rivals have laid out what they say is overwhelming evidence solve the u.s. president's misconduct in office a 300 page report making the case for impeachment alleges abuse of power by trump it says he used his office to solicit foreign interference for his 2020 reelection bid the report from the democrat led house intelligence committee says a phone call between trump and ukraine's president was a dramatic crescendo of a months long campaign to extract personal political benefits it adds trump obstructed the impeachment inquiry by instructing witnesses and government agencies to ignore subpoenas castro is our correspondent live for us in the capitol hill and heidi let's just begin with where this report is at the moment there is a specific sequence of events now leading to it eventually heading towards the senate. that's right and we are

a step closer to that now because the house intelligence committee has been giving its stamp of approval on this report and now it is now passing that report on to the judiciary committee which is significant because it is the judiciary committee that will draft articles of impeachment basically these are the charges that trump would face once this goes to a trial in the senate so the timeline here is starting tomorrow we're going to hear more open hearings from the judiciary panel about the constitutional context of impeachment this after learning more from this report from the intelligence committee which its chairman adam schiff lays out here this report chronicles a scheme by the president lied states to coerce an ally ukraine that is at war with an adversary russia into doing the pleasure the president's political dirty work it

involves a scheme in which donald trump withheld official acts of white house meeting as well as hundreds of millions of dollars of needed military assistance in order to compel that power to deliver to investigations that he believed would assist his reelection campaign and this has heidi really one wonders how this is really going to impact all those people that have following this impeachment process and into the memory barrack and public at large as weekend head to tools a presidential election in 2020. that's right and you know what's interesting is that the report itself sheds very little additional light on the events that happened it's really a summary that lists what we've found out from these public hearings over the last 2 months but what you heard the democrats do as well as republicans is they're trying to now put this all in

a context that that helps their case the democrats to impeach the president the republicans to defend his contacts with ukraine as being just part of the job and that democrats are trying to attach trying to remove him from office and they're both parties are framing this in a lens communicating to the american public that it matters for the democrats they're saying that it matters to hold a president accountable via impeachment and republicans saying that it's matters because he is a julie elected president president trump and that his political adversaries the democrats now according to republicans are trying to take away the public mandate that sent him to office well of course we're following events as they proceed in washington d.c. for the moment john had to take us to a correspondent thank you. cracks appearing in the world's largest alliance leaders are in the united kingdom for the 70th anniversary of nato and divisions are

becoming clear the u.s. and french presidents have disagreed on several points including nato his role and the return of foreign fighters in syria our diplomatic editor james bays begins our coverage. it's supposed to be nato 70th birthday but there's no celebration instead an atmosphere of disagreement and division with the u.s. president who once called the alliance obsolete now saying he fears that france might leave nato and i heard the president say you know to break here i think it's very disheartening to a lot of different. british man very proud. when you make a statement like there is a very very very nasty statement to essentially 20. 1 of the countries those comments were particularly pointed as president trumps next public meeting was with the french president there were uncomfortable moments when they were asked about european countries including france not taking back their nationals no

prisoners in syria having fought for eisel. would you like some nice isis fighters you like to give up you believe you could take everyone you want to live in a. very large number fight with something wrong are focused on the. community and the vision. to that you have foreign fighters coming in from europe if you can get all of them we have in the region the number one problem almost from fight this is the point really. and you have one more fighters you see. this is where he very well dishes out was one of the great khali answers. so the trouble disagreements are not the only. once at this summit the french leader attacked turkey because of its recent incursion targeting the kurds in northern syria has. descended into

a few of the arms of the. move to. the. 500. 5. shot of. turkey's president or one later met with his u.k. host prime minister johnson as well as president barack raul and the german chancellor merkel he's threatening to block nato's plans to protect poland and the baltic states unless others agree with him on syria. but i don't differ that despite all the differences which exist and which we have to address also have to discuss the future of nato and things we haven't common strategically but i am relatively optimistic about this meeting on top of all the other problems i'm told there is currently considerable tension between chancellor merkel and president mark crawl over european defense and europe's role in nato the state of the

alliance right now is full of division it is a multi dimensional mess. london or back to the u.s. on the field of democratic candidates hoping to enter the 2020 presidential race has narrowed after camilla harris ended her bed the california senator has been facing months of failing poll numbers and struggled to raise campaign funds she'd once been considered a front runner there are still 15 candidates competing to be the democratic party's 2020 nominee. at least 5 people are being killed in protests in the eastern democratic republic of congo residents in the city of beni accuse the un peacekeeping force minuscule of filing for failing to protect them against a notorious armed group catherine sawyer has more than goma. doctors of the main hospital in the eastern city of beni are treating patients with gunshot wounds sam was participating in a party that was violently dispatched by congolese soldiers on monday the doctors

protesters is that they would try some congolese here in goma angry by the military claiming that the protests in delhi have been infiltrated by armed people they say the army is trying to vilify the protesters and deflect attention of what is really going on in that region they say there is genuine anger and frustration about the state of security and this is an issue that needs to be addressed. catherine all dizzy or goma. well still ahead here on al-jazeera are warning of long term toxic effects of to gas exposure as protests in chile enter a 7th week and the defamation trial of tesla must begins over comments he made after a cave rescue in thailand. however

well the market watching al-jazeera means a whole romney a reminder of our top stories u.s. house democrats have released a report laying out the case for the impeachment of donald trump it says the president used his powers to get ukraine to help him with a 2020 alexion the white house has called the report a one sided. the 70 of them the verse 3 of nato has turned into a tense war of words the u.s. and french presidents argued on several points including natives role in the return of ice and fighters and protests in the many region of eastern and democratic republic of congo have left at least 5 people dead demonstrators accuse the government and the un peacekeepers of failing to protect them against armed groups

. but the world health organization says efforts to eliminate measles globally have slowed back as the death toll in some most outbreak continues to rise 60 people have died since the epidemic started in mid october 50 of those are children under the age of 4 up to now some are low immunization rates of just over 30 percent emergency measures including making immunizations compulsory and closing schools but the crisis shows no major sign of slowing down 171 new cases have been recorded in the last 24 hours and that brings the number of cases in this outbreak to more than 4000 in the population of 200000 people jessica washington is our correspondent and joins us from the capital appear and of course jessica you've seen the immunization process of what the government is trying to do in terms of trying to limit the expo. of german measles to the public at large what's your

general impression of the way that they're coping with this crisis. also hell it seems to be that they've changed strategies as the scale of this crisis has become more apparent when this outbreak 1st began in mid october the media the media strategy was to focus on the group that was most vulnerable that is those aged between 6 months to 4 years old initially schools were closed and a ban on children in public spaces was initiated but it soon became clear that that wasn't enough by mid november when a state of emergency was declared a series of other initiatives were announced from tomorrow all government departments with the exception of electricity and water utilities departments will be shot and all government staff will be redeployed to the front lines to work alongside those who are working in vaccination clinics and also in those mobile vaccination centers trying to reach communities who perhaps may not have been able

to get to those vaccination clinics and of course jessica the scenario for the authorities will be that they want to try to get of course. this but again it's focusing their efforts on hotspots and infections don't. respect borders or no rural areas how are the authorities dealing with that scenario. so how would you know that so far it seems that the outbreak is mostly contained to urban areas mostly in the towns the area that has been most hit is in fact this island of paulo where i am where the capital city of apia is located but authorities are trying to assess exactly where this outbreak has occurred and as these mobile vaccinate vaccination clinics will be roaming throughout some hour for the rest of the week they'll be able to get

a clearer picture of exactly where this outbreak is happening and of course we'll monitor events with you throughout the day for the moment jessica washington thank you. well staying in the region a powerful typhoon has killed at least 3 people in the philippines as it's heads across the eastern region officials say the casualty figure remains low because of the preemptive evacuations of hundreds of thousands of people in reports from province in the central philippines. battered the beagle region in central philippines for more than 10 hours the wind was violent and harsh and incessant rain drenched the province of by for people here more reason landfall at night brought fear and despair. and the mourning brought no respite sylvia blew out day just devastated her home is destroyed. we

evacuated i moved to the center with my children at 4 am i came back to check on my home barely anything is left i don't know where to get the money to rebuild it again before the wall was built to protect villagers perms farm. but more than a 100 homes were the royal monday night by their preparations there was no stopping the record come more of the raw. power lines are down the airport and seaports have suffered severe damage. more than a 100000 people were evacuated before. many expect they'll have to live in the evacuation center for weeks if not months. we have been doing the seeing and of course tours and of course the majority of the people will always be around . but there are many areas across the beagle region affected by typhoon come worry

that remain cut off the government says it is doing all it can to reach them and get aid to those who need it most it took cynthia mordant 13 years to rebuild her home after another devastating typhoon in 2006 tafe winter young left more than a 1000 people dead and more than 600 missing. it was a tragedy that cynthia had hoped would not be repeated. she says life can be unfair especially for people who don't have much anyway she has no choice now but to start all over again jim duggan al-jazeera by central philippines. the experts in chile have all the daily use of tear gas by police could have serious side effects for maybe 7 weeks protesters have been demonstrating often leading to clashes with security forces all out in america we see in human has.

the famous 16th century biochemist paracelsus once said that the difference between a beneficial and a toxic chemical was the dose and the dose of the tear gas that is being fired every single day in this and other parts of chile's capital is massive. in the last few weeks the tear gas has become much stronger more toxic water with bicarbonate of soda to alleviate pain isn't working anymore. the chemical agent is chloro binzel dean of melon on trial or c s for short which isn't a gas but a solid mixed with a dispersal agent. but for cattlemen betting again and her husband or count is that it's making them ill they live right above what's nicknamed ground 0 where they've been demonstrations for nearly 2 months even with their windows taped and shut the tear gas seeps in. it's been very difficult for my health because it's our graffiti

miasma we have headaches lightheadedness all those things too well i've only left my house once since october 18th and i was sick for 3 days because the air outside isn't breathable i'm worried about the long term effects. and so she should be according to several studies carried out in the united states to begin with tear gas exposure is meant to be limited to 10 seconds not hours for weeks on end even after the security forces are already on you can still smell the tear gas especially if it's windy the residues of these crowd control weapons remain on the ground on the dirt and on just about everything else that you can. see here if you don't have a doctor along from the deal put dallas medical school warns that over time c.s. decomposes into cyanide especially at high temperatures and if you're going to use this kind of toss tool to restore order which sometimes it's necessary. just to

do it we can't quit we're there with knowledge where research investigation is urgent to measure the amount of cyanide from these bombs. and because of the absence of serious studies cancer can't be ruled out either he says but unlike many of their neighbors cadman and padlocks say they can't move out cadman is a writer and works from home and loves living here she just hopes the price won't be too high. you see in human santiago. there are nearly half of them barbers population faces of the hunger that's the analysis from the un's world food programme the un is planning to more than double the number of people it helps over to 4000000 but as many as 7000000 are in need of aid the situation is only expected to get worse with little rain expected before the april harvest. extreme weather now an economic meltdown have pushed those people
