today i am asking our chairman to proceed with articles of impeachment. donald trump will become the 4th president in u.s. history to face formal impeachment charges that could remove him from office the facts are uncontested the president abused his power for his own personal political benefit at the expense of our national security by withholding military aid and crucial oval office meeting in exchange for an announcement of an investigation into his political rival the white house says democrats are abusing their power and lying to the american people are you referring to the right of way agent my money or legacy. reza hoax it's a hoax and some big fat 0 s. now with the big question in washington is what these articles of impeachment will be a report by the house intelligence committee makes a case for abuse of power and of struction of congress stemming from the ukraine

investigation but then there are still those lingering concerns from the earlier russia investigation. in july special counsel robert muller told congress that while there was no evidence trump had colluded with russia to win the 2016 election there may be grounds that he obstructed justice and what about total exoneration if you actually totally exonerate the prez you know for muller's appearance had little impact and the very next day trump told the president of ukraine over the phone that muller had quote a poor performance then according to the call transcript trump asked for an investigation into his political rival constitutional scholars called by democrats have testified that trump's impeachable offenses go beyond the ukraine phone call call i think the way you need to ask about this is how does it fit into the pattern of behavior by the president republicans counter democrats have been trying to

remove trump since the day he took office they've always wanted to impeach the president why. i'm at their words watching at their actions watching what they have done the democratic majority in the house will likely vote to impeach trent before christmas then the senate dominated by the president's own party will put trump state on trial in the new here. castro al-jazeera washington. on a separate fight with the democrats they own trump has asked the supreme court to block an investigation into his finances the us president petitioned the court to keep his financial records out of the hands of a congressional panel a lower court ruled the panel could subpoena the documents held by trump's accounting firm a mexico's president and that as men were lopez obrador says he has had a good meeting with the u.s. attorney general about the threat of drug cartels william barr visited a week after president trump said he wanted to designate drug gangs terrorists no

president or is against any u.s. intervention in mexico but is happy to work with washington to fight the surge in violent crime last month 9 dual u.s. citizens were killed by suspected gang members mauritania's government says it will investigate possible trafficking networks after $63.00 migrants drowned off the coast more than 80 survivors managed to swim to shore after their boat capsized but were described as exhausted and starving it is the worst loss of life this year along the western atlantic route to europe. another group is thought to have left a brain jewel in gambia a week ago heading north their boat found it off the coast of northern mauritania route 25 kilometers north of the able it is believed they were trying to make their way north along the coast to eventually reach europe through spain the number of

crossings on the so-called western route have risen the european union says more than 21000 people have come that way so far this year another 11000 use the central route heading towards italy and greece from libya while the largest number more than 60000 have taken the eastern route from turkey to greece mohamed vall is in new york shot mauritania's capital about $83.00 people managed to swim to the shore and they were found by the military police outside the northern city of and why they were that was the early evening hours yesterday those people gave more news about what happened that boat capsized off the shore. and that's after about 10 days being stranded there running out of fuel and so on so they gave more details and scores of people at least dozens of people are still missing they are supposed to be of course dead women and children where on that boat coming from

gambia the majority of the migrants were from the country of gambia lots of small nation west africa one of those poor countries that supply this migration turned into words drop the story is still unfolding those people who escaped are being treated in and why do we don't have much information about what's happening to the bodies are they going to return them to their countries of origin or are they going to be buried in and itself. allana doyle is from the international organization for migration he says people are being exploited by smugglers but i think we can fairly assume that this is the result of nancy where the vessel overcrowded as we're learning or 150 people who are out of fuel so it speaks really to the callousness of the smugglers the smuggling operation will of course make their money already and disappeared into the wilderness and i think that's basically the problem here

is that you're being exploited well one can imagine that they're deeply traumatized and are stopped are you as you rightly say are there aren't 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 the from the gambia and try to help them return in a in a dignified way as possible and when that actually it will all of this is that there's no happy solution for people who take these routes once and especially when things like this happen they are actually end up back where they started and the only winner is this mother of hundreds of thousands of people across france are taking part in one of its largest strikes by workers in jez protests turned violent in some cities would demonstrate as angry at president emanuel micron's planned pension reforms and tasha butler reports from the capital paris. there were people from all walks of french life teaches students and lawyers joint transport and health workers in central paris part of

so. yes it's difficult for force the strike caused major disruption across the city there was little public transport most schools were shot even the eiffel tower was forced to close the french president says the pension system needs to be streamlined to make it fairer and safe public money the strike saw a major test for emanuel micro because he made reforming the pension system one of his campaign promises so if it gives in to the protesters in scotland is reform it will be a political failure so far the french president is showing no sign of backing down this analyst says macro has a track record of controversial reforms since the beginning of its mandate the government has passed several reforms that many would have believed would be almost impossible but they managed to push them through despite the challenge. isn't risky . michael may not want to make concessions but if the disruption continues he may have to rethink although most people are expected to return to work this week some
