was late yesterday they were fired by found by the military police and that's when it was understood that they had been they had been on that boat and that it capsized off the atlantic ocean off the more 18 shore it came from the gambia and apparently they spent 10 days on the ocean we don't know how many days they spent since they stopped they were stranded because the boat ran out of fuel several people were missing as we knew from the news from the i.o.m. and also from the military police in the story as told to them by those migrants some of the bodies that were found had already begun to decompose it's a very horrible story and one of the deadliest incidents in this regard regarding migrants trying to cross the atlantic ocean or the mediterranean ocean military in the sea towards europe this year and where do we have a sense here say for sure the survivors are i understand there were women and

children on that buyers. yeah it's been confirmed that women and children are on that where on that boat and that some of them have lost their lives it's not known how many are still not found as i speak many bodies a said several bodies actually dozens of bodies have already been found and we don't know their whereabouts there is not much transparency we try to reach the military police in the other sources as well to know how where those bodies and also people who are being rescued are kept the story is just beginning to unfold and more details will be of course known during the next few hours and what it is about 6 hours that i was 5 hours drive from where i am here. talking and. see they are cooperating fully with with with all agencies trying to get to the to the end of this story and to help the migrants those at least who are still alive

100 on the ground for us and mauritania will be following that story very closely thank you for that update around well we can now speak to leonard doyle who is the director of the media and communication division at the international organization for migration he joins us now on skype from geneva and and i know that your i o. n. stuff are on the ground dealing with this capsize and we've been hearing from there about potentially a fuel shortage do we know what caused this capsize and what will happen now to the survivors well i think we can fairly assume that this is a result nancy where the vessel overcrowded as we're learning or a little 50. 3 to the callousness of the smugglers the smuggling operation well of course it may get your money you know already in this into the wilderness and i think that's basically the problem here is an. improvement in life and. it is undergoing. and then i know your stuff dealing with the survivors there so we

have a sense of what's going to happen to them now will they stay on in mauritania what's the next step here well one can imagine that they're deeply traumatized and are stuck for as you rightly say are there. any authorities where people will be will leave for medical care and then really to establish like where what's their origin that we understand that they're from the gambia and try to help them return in a in a dignified way as possible and i mean that actually it will all of this is that there is no happy solution for people who take these routes once that especially when things like this happen they are eventually end up back where they started and the only winner is his mother well leonard let me ask you then about these rates i know that this is one of the deadliest capsizes this year but overall we are seeing the number of attempted migrant crossings to europe decrease only at the same time the growth of new migrant treats. won't receive it is people understand the great dangers of libya for example and increasing policing and lack

of rescue i suppose is part of it and the winter doesn't you know it also decreases the numbers but that actually is is is a is not the whole picture people believe that they can get to a better place they can get a better life and they're told lies that is read about a month social media etc the economic opportunities for them are often quite restrictive even though the economy is going through currently going through some economic boom nonetheless as economies grow this is often the time of people feel they should move so there's a lot of awareness raising new to happen and people need to be educated about the dangers and sadly this is the kind of thing that well there's probably going to crease as people make these desperate europeans and then i had this bias as you say came from the can be and i say something like 35000 gambians arrived in europe between 20142018 that seem to puget sound from what's a relatively small country so what's driving people to leave can be especially if

as you say it's going through an economic boom and it is a hugely long journey from there well some countries there's a long tradition of migrating that's one part of the war on. some parts of countries that migrate and so also you know for many years going to be a was not such a happy place it's not it's you know it's things are changed now it's things are getting better but nonetheless of those that even my own economies grow this is often the time and people decide they have the opportunity to move that a small amount of money they can put into the homes of his mother but the bottom line is if there is not proper governance if there's not hope for it if that be if the economic growth that we see the rest of the world through globalization is unshared we can expect to see more of this and not just from one country like you are from many countries around the world is certainly not it's this graphic that is a phenomenon worldwide in some doubt a legal limbo the massive inequality that we're seeing as the benefit as

a global shared and a challenge that's not going away anytime soon let it boil there from the international organization for migration thank you for joining us on out there and get ready now 3 legal experts called by us democrats have testified that president donald trump competed committed impeachable offenses now 4th scholar he was invited by republicans says the evidence is insufficient trump is accused of abusing his power to push ukraine and to investigating his political rival joe biden how does a cast of reports from washington d.c. . you swear or affirm under penalty of perjury some of us constitutional scholars have weighed in if president trumps ukraine scandal is an impeachable then nothing is and professor gary hart did president trump commit the impeachable high crime and misdemeanor of abuse of power we 3 are unanimous yes the 3 law professors call by democrats rain unison alarm bells that the country's democracy is under threat

by the president's actions what has happened in the case today is something that i do not think we have ever seen before a president who has doubled down on violating his oath to faithfully execute the laws and to protect and defend the constitution this president has attacked each of the constitution's safeguards against establishing a monarchy in this country in the simplest possible terms the president put his personal game ahead of the national security interest it's better to be on t.v. than by for. the 4th scholar said if trump had tried to force ukraine to investigate a political rival in exchange for military aid it would be impeachable but the scholar wednesday's sole republican witness testified the case against trump has not been proven this would be the 1st impeachment in history where there would be considerable debate in my view not compelling evidence of the commission of

a crime more than a dozen white house and state department professionals have testified that trump used the power of his office to pressure ukraine to open an investigation into joe biden a potential political rival in the upcoming us presidential election the house intelligence committee drafted a report saying there was overwhelming evidence for this including trump's own words in a phone call with the president of ukraine that's not politics as usual at least not in the united states or not in any mature democracy trump. the law professors called by democrats represents the liberal left but he declined to testify himself in refused to send white house attorneys to represent his case for innocence what they're doing is a very bad thing for our country it's of no merit. the republican party is never been more unified ever trump is counting on republicans who control the senate to acquit him of wrongdoing in an eventual impeachment trial. castro al-jazeera

washington now lebanese politicians will meet on monday to begin formal consultations to nominate the next prime minister businessmen so they are hot to look set to take over from outgoing prime minister saad hariri but protesters of condemned to her decision to back him to have the next cabinet they say he won't be able to fix the corruption and government mismanagement that have led to weeks of protests well our correspondent joins me now live from beirut where protesters are gathering again so clearly demonstrators on the happy about this nomination talk us through why. well they didn't get what they wanted what they wanted was an independent government independent from political parties in order to save the country the country is in dire economic straits they want their government to pave the way for early elections what political leaders have agreed on is nominating really they're set to nominate some your heart yes he doesn't have political

experience but he has close ties with the ruling elite so that is why they took to the streets late yesterday they tried to block roads but the security forces quickly intervened there seems to be a deal among lebanon's political factions that they will no longer allow this protest movement to disrupt political life yes they can gather in protest sites like the one behind me but apart from that it's going to be business as usual that is the message from the political elite yes they've made some concessions some divisive figures will not be in in government they're also going to give some portfolios to independents or people who were involved in this protest movement but overall the same political parties are going to govern this country but the biggest question is why wait till monday to hold those formal consultations. does it mean that this deal could break down in the last minute this specially since the prime minister the caretaker prime minister saddle heidi whose support is needed because you need a sunday cover for the prime minister's post is still not clear. live for us on the

streets of beirut will be following the story with a very closely thank you santa well let's dig into this a little more with sami not him who is the director of the 11th institute for strategic affairs and he joins us now also live from beirut as well let's start with this reaction from the protesters they rejected the last nominee former finance minister south india now hin so i'm curious even though he's never held public office he is viewed as part of the establishment. you know it is viewed as part of the establishment because it is a business that is partner a partner with key people and symbol of the political establishment the protestors or totally refusing because they are naming them responsible of the economic situation in lebanon is going through now and there are the other face of a corruption so that is if user of this candidacy of this nomination because

it symbolizes the political establishment secondly and this is an important point their way this nomination has been done sitcom granting constitution and. i mean this nomination was decided not according to the constitution book the way it was done it was decided among the club as we call it here that means among the 4 people that the chief of parties they have decided that they'll be nation and that when they're. when this is this started when their type of government has been decided when even their ministers and their ministers you have how we assign a ministry. has been done very one to the constitution and they want to call for. a consultation process and if

the constitution is just to make all of their own decision making process so this is important. and i'm sure. i do see that. sorry to interrupt that but i do want to ask you because i do see that he has the support of hezbollah and i believe that store to is married to the son of a hezbollah ally and so you are saying that despite its the proper procedure does this mean that it is actually a done deal so we go through the process on monday but basically we are looking at the next prime minister. it's not it's not sure that big god the decision of hezbollah has been insisting on having had e.d. and in national unity government was have the. head of this government so now they are supporting mr hyde as long as he got the full support of

heavy d. and the full support of the sunni going community they need this as a cover for an organization that is on the gulf the scrutiny on the economic sanctions and at odds with the whole international community listed as it odious organization they badly need this national unity government and the sunni government in particular this is why they will not accept the on the left he got fully support and written support i believe of how do you see the future movement and this sunni. legitimacy in general sami noted that the director of 11th institute for strategic affairs thanks for analysis. still ahead on al-jazeera some marvellous out and nationwide vaccination program trying to stem the needles outbreak that's already claimed more than 60 lives. why the u.s.

president is being viewed as the disrupter in chief by a number of nato leaders. are going. to. head there were some pretty good conditions across central areas of europe if you make the most of them because things all set to change in the next couple days there is plenty of cloud around you. know wall cloud across much of the north and say we have had some snow this is the picture in the southeast of poland look at this we've got plenty of snow around a causing some fairly wide just wide just by destruction to the roadways as we go through thursday it is a killer picture the cad really is banged up towards the north this area of high pressure but we've also got some very heavy rain into the eastern side of spain the erik's pushing into the western med that is on thursday becoming increasingly

unsubtle across much of the northwest that really sweet through on friday very heavy amounts of rain and strong winds. across the u.k. into these northern areas of phones and on into the low countries central europe is fairly good as a say but it's becoming to be squeezed from the north and we have more showers working their way across the central mediterranean well to about generals much of northern africa those rains in the central med not really make it that full south what we will see the like you and thursday is them raised as pushing to fall south of the west or on their way further north as we head to friday feeling cooler with the high the 70. it.

hello again i'm starting to remind of our top stories this hour at least 58 migrants have drowned when their boat capsized off the coast of martain the survivors are being treated in the northern city of new what he will the vessel was reportedly carrying at least $150.00 people from gambia and was low on fuel. 3

on issues like russia and china and settled a major stumbling block when turkey dropped its objection to nato as baltic defense plan but behind the display of unity cracks were showing as during the whole experience from what that's north of london so good morning i think there it is start if you can find those seats this gathering of nato leaders had one objective a show of unity to mark 70 years of the world's most successful military alliance one for all and all for one instead it was a public display of differences that began the day before on tuesday u.s. president donald trump was on the combative form number one point to the front is not only well macron of nato strategy budget payments and trumps unilateral withdrawal of u.s. troops from northern syria this is where the word was issued that was one of the greatest partiers over the. summer. but trump's views are no longer those of a president seen as preeminent leader of the alliance now some allies here

including the british french and canadian leaders see donald trump as disruptor in chief apparently sharing a joke at his expense during tuesday night's reception at buckingham palace. the 1st. word was trump's response on being asked about the canadian prime minister's comments on these 2 1st. and soon afterwards he tweeted that there was no need for a final press conference. emanuel macron meanwhile continued to press his case for change you know to me who is our enemy how can we act together against international terrorism in particular these are all subjects that were not sufficiently settled i debate should be about something other then budgetary and financial issues or was for to kill a lot of thought if the voices of reassurance were left sounding a bit thin. always been able to overcome these differences and then

unite around the record toss to protect the founding fathers and that's exactly what to do today the question it all raises is central to what nato is and what it exists for what happens to an alliance built on collective defense when that collective commitment that spirit of unity isn't just solid as some would like it to be nato member turkey's president richard tired earlier one had earlier demanded that the kurds abandoned by trump in northern syria be recognized as what he called terrorists or he'd veto alliance efforts to bolster eastern defenses against russia this was a threat that represented a fracturing of nato's central accord is what trump and macron do seem to agree on but many others don't that russia is no longer the enemy it was and while nato is focus has widened to include china cyber security hybrid warfare the alliance can't hide from the difficult truth that multiple challenges mean multiple conflicting

interests undermining the unity they've come here to celebrate. al-jazeera at watford north london. russia's president is accusing the united states of viewing space as a potential theater of war radom appears and says that rather development of america's space command has prompted moscow to ramp up its are in sector kryten insists he is against militarizing space donald trump says he wants the u.s. to dominate space and mass vaccination campaign is underway in samara as doctors attempt to contain a measles outbreak which has already claimed the lives of at least 62 people most are children under 4 jessica washington reports from the someone capital appiah where medical teams are now going door to door to immunize islanders thousands of red flags hanging all over summer each one represents an unvaccinated household as

willing to pay initial estimates that were given by the saudi leadership hasn't been proven yet and so that's what i mean by taking the feedback going back and seeing if they can make those numbers work or not saudi arabia derives most of its money from oil exports and says it will use the income from its public listing to diversify its economy but a recent drone attack on 2 of its facilities the rebels in yemen said they carried out took out more than half of the kingdom's oil production and caused major concern among international investors so far the stock listing is only available for saudis and nationals in the arab states of the g.c.c. and that too will be kept by the double exchange saudi aramco as international listing was the crown jewel of prince mohammed bin cell man's vision 2030 an ambitious project to take saudi arabia into the future without an over reliance on oil but since he announced it in 2017 the i.p.o. or the initial public offering was delayed several times and transparency concerns

a murky anticorruption drive against wealthy businesses the killing of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi and other factors have not been helpful to achieving that vision. so far saudi aramco has refrained from listing on an international stock exchange the company also canceled the route you intended to track rest in an asian investors but they're still set to be interest from russian and chinese investors at the meeting of the oil producers bloc opec it's likely that output cuts will remain in place to keep oil prices steady nowadays as the economy isn't all in a new discoveries have been set up on the map across the world we have a new alliance and we can call it of all back and all but. that includes some of the countries that everyone knows like russia for example. and of course. the market change if it's all back or opec plus controlling their own production so limiting their volumes and allowing some other nations to grow production of course

that in some way limits their market share for a successful the saudis will need a steady and higher oil price although there is interest from local g.c.c. investors the i.p.o. will fall well short of $100000000000.00 it was intended to raise and the saudis won't be able to get the 2 trillion dollars valuation that they desired some of. the headlines at least $58.00 migrants have drowned when their boat capsized off the coast of mar tanian survivors are being treated in the northern city of. the vessel was reportedly carrying at least 150 people from gambia and. has more for us that's mauritania's capital. it came from the gambia and apparently they spent 10 days on the ocean we don't know how many days they spent since they stopped they
