i need atlantics africa on some sites and publish will see that some people don't want to even if it doesn't knock the oscar truth is it anyway on al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera. has i'm speaking of this is the news hour live from doha here's what's coming up in the next 60 minutes i democracy is what is at stake the president leads us no choice but to act donald trump's political rivals are set to lay impeachment charges against the u.s. president within weeks. the u.s. accuses 2 russian hackers with stealing nearly $100000000.00 from american

businesses. mass strikes and protests against pension reforms take a violent turn in paris and other french cities. and as the world focuses on a measles outbreak in some of the world health organization warns the problem is far bigger than most people understand. donald trump will become just the 4th u.s. president to face formal impeachment charges house speaker nancy pelosi says he abused his power by withholding military aid to pressure ukraine into investigating democratic rival joe biden a vote is expected in the next couple of weeks setting up a fight in the senate on whether to remove trump from office highly joe castro reports now from washington. it's official sadly that with

confidence and humility with allegiance to our founders and heart full of love for america 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 might have on your legacy. that this president 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 trumps 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. watch them at their words watch them 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's fate on trial in the new year. castro al-jazeera washington a michael isikoff is the chief investigative reporter at yahoo news he says trump's ratings seem to be stable despite being pietschmann proceedings. nobody really knows how this is going to shake out politically it is worth noting that we've had more than 2 months now since the transcript of the president's phone call with zelinsky emerged in the course than there was 2 weeks of public hearings in

november while there was a spike in those who wanted to see the president impeached and removed after the release of the transcript the needle really hasn't moved much since then if you look at the public opinion polls they're still pretty much where they were a few months ago with roughly half the country about 50 percent. do want to see the president impeached and removed from office and then you know 424344 percent opposed with you know a small number 567 percent undecided on the issue so you know one can ask if the needle did not move after 2 weeks of public hearings whether it's likely to do so in the days and weeks ahead hard to say not much evidence of that that's why this is a bit of a gamble for democrats politically but i should say when this does go to trial in

the senate and it will next month the level of public attention and coverage will exceed anything we've seen to date so it is possible that more people will be watching paying attention listening to the testimony so there could be some shift during the course of that trial in the senate. on a separate fight with the democrats donald trump has os the supremes called to block an investigation into his finances the president had petitioned the court to keep his financial records out of the hands of a congressional panel a local rule the panel could subpoena the documents held by trump's accounting firm . a mexican president and the iceman will 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 as terrorists

lopez obrador is against any u.s. intervention in mexico but wants to work with washington to fight a surge in violent crime last month 9 jul u.s. citizens were killed by suspected gang members of the united states has charged 2 russians for allegedly running a global cyber crime organization called evil corp the pair who remain at large are accused of using malware to steal millions of dollars sort of has this report. was. living the high life. customized suv cars. complete with a personalised number plate that spells out thief in russian. lavish parties and expensive gifts all captured on camera and use as evidence by u.s. and u.k.

prosecutors against russian hackers on thursday u.s. indictment accuse i called to russia and mike's in the beds of running a global hacking group called evil court from their basements. we're here today to identify and announce charges against a russian national whom the department of justice alleges is responsible for 2 of the worst computer hacking and bank fraud schemes of the past decade yakob is a true 21st century criminal who with the stroke of a key in the click of a mouse committed cyber crimes across the globe he's earned his place on the f.b.i.'s list of the world's most wanted cyber criminals yeah qubits is accused of working for russian intelligence both men and legit to use malware known as droid x. to steal at least $100000000.00 from the likes of schools and religious organizations across 40 countries the malware was spread through so-called phishing campaigns encouraging victims to click on malicious being sent by email once

a computer was infected the group stole postal banking information which was used to transfer funds fundamental weakness that organized crime has is that they are driven by money and they are driven by greed and we have been able to gain evidence in the u.k. of a real world footprint of people seeking to draw down the funds from these offenses and also people who are exhibiting a very extravagant lifestyle online. to russia of and you could bet it's remain at launch a $5000000.00 bounty has been offered for information leading to the aquabats arrest and prosecution the largest reward ever offered for a cyber criminal sort of al-jazeera where jodi westby is the chief executive of global cyber risk and joins us now from washington to talk more about this thanks very much for being with us so how significant. is this

finding by the by the u.s. authorities. or it's very significant it's a a major bust of a very large cyber criminal ring but what the f.b.i. wasn't really focusing on in their announcements was it took them 8 years to do this investigation they began it in 2011 so it is wonderful that they have finally brought this ring in to indictments it's doubtful they will ever bring these 2 russians to trial because they remain in russia and it highlights the difficulty of how hard it is to track and trace and conduct cyber crime investigations and one of the one of the i mean is this is this is this kind of thing sort of a drop in the ocean is is there more to it that you believe. a cyber crime costs businesses about 5 trillion

a year i believe is the last number i read so the bad guys are winning and it is a step in the right direction but when you consider all the cyber crimes that happened between those intervening 8 years you can see that we're way behind so it is a problem that we have to address in our legal frameworks in international cooperation and just in how we can pursue these cyber criminals it also highlights i should point out that there are there are still extremely risks in online banking online banking is not completely secure so one thing people can do is to companies and individuals both is to restrict their use of online banking and be very careful about what they are doing with it and be very careful with their online credentials for logging in yeah talk

a little bit more about that what it will what are some of the things that we as not just with banking but the we as users can do to protect against all reduce the chances of getting our online information hacked. well companies should be very careful and put it become trolls around any type of money transfers have $2.00 or 3 checkpoints and maybe not even allow online transfers that way a keystroke logging is deployed they can't capture the credentials to do that kind of activity because it hasn't been authorized with the bank so being careful about that is important also it's very critical to not click on anything that you don't know about be very suspicious of every e-mail you get even if it looks like it comes from someone that you know or an institution you do business with because still the old thing of sending

a phishing e-mail and having someone click on it or open an attachment is the best way for malware to get into a system and so we have to be vigilant all the time but we are behind and the general public and individuals just do not understand how sophisticated these attacks are and exactly everything that they need to do so we need more education as well good to speak to you jodi westby thanks for being with us hundreds of thousands of people across france are taking part in one of its largest strikes by workers in years protests turning violent though in some cities with demonstrators angry president emanuel macross planned pension reforms and special butler reports from parish. there were people from all walks of french life teaches students and lawyers joint transport and health workers in central paris part of a nationwide strike protesting against the government's plans to reform the pension

system they fear the changes would force them to work for more years and reduce their pay outs we are here to try and preserve our pension system which is one of the best in europe and we don't want to go backwards micron's reforms are destroying french society. it looks like we'll have to retire even later but we'll have even less money in our pension so the demonstration was mainly peaceful but there was some clashes between police and so-called black bloc and a case protesters i think more than $6000.00 police officers were deployed in the city this police union spokesperson said many of them would have wanted to join the strike a lot of them wanted to come. we had the day off today that was a load and also we do not have the right rooms like 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 . macro 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

transport workers say they won't give up their fight and will continue to strike the trash i'll just say or paris. or philip mali or there is a professor of french in european politics at the university of london he says even though the pension reform details haven't been ironed out people are still concerned i think mark or has been so far very cautious because even though it is a very sensitive topic well again 24 years ago it led to the resignation of the prime minister so he's very careful about it. is walking on a minefield but i think he will be ready probably could see to make concessions it would depend on the up all the force you know between the people on strike and and and themselves i think for the time being it's early days because we don't know yet the contents of the bill i think it's a pre-owned preemptive strike if you like because people are very wary and afraid of what might be in the bill so probably what also is quite remarkable is normally

the type of strike which would be involving people working in the public sector that's not the case this time around where you have people independent workers farmers lawyers people working in the private sector professionals so that shows how big and how and the scale so the worry regarding this bill which we don't know about yet exactly but clearly mark who is ready to make concessions but i think we shall be looking at how many people are still in the street today and in the next few days i think we shall see them. well we are plenty more ahead on this news hour tense calm in la paz bolivia struggles to find a way forward after weeks of political turmoil. and is the new government in sri lanka clamping down on press freedom why journalists say they're being targeted. are saudi arabia meet qatar in a politically charged old arabian gulf cup semifinal heating will be here with the

action later. told us still to come but 1st the head of the world health organization has expressed outrage as new figures show a big increase in the number of deaths caused by measles a viral disease killed 140000 people in 2800 compared with 128000 the previous year the report says children under the age of 5 make up most of the deaths w.h.o. director says the numbers point to a collective failure and says vaccinations are showing signs of stagnation worldwide mistrust of authorities and the spread of misinformation a partially to blame. we are on a trajectory that is going in absolutely the wrong direction that we are backsliding very significantly and the additional point here is that we're

really. influenced some of these situations are very influenced by the public perception of vaccines we've had vaccine voices since the time of vaccines in the 1700s that's that's not new what's new in the past 510 years is the megaphone that they have and the tools that these antibiotics invoices which really are fringe groups it's actually quite a small number of people and groups who are spreading both miss and large of spreading misinformation. or a mass vaccination campaign has begun in some a way at containing a break there which is kill dozens of children medical teams are going door to door to vaccinate as many people as possible or businesses been shut down and people told should keep their cars off the road just to washington has been

a vaccination center in the capital apia. it's day 2 of some mass vaccination campaign and the team here at the emergency response headquarters are compiling the numbers from day one efforts so far they've indicated at least 16000 people were vaccinated here in samarra on thursday those efforts will continue today on friday with the focus being on city and urban areas some mall is still in shutdown mode the roads are empty and businesses are closed that's all part of an effort by authorities here to make it as simple as possible for the medical teams going door to door to administer vaccinations authorities say efforts are going well thus far and things should go back to normal as soon as possible. well you're the. sutler mahdi army is a health spokeswoman for unicef and joins us now from secaucus in new jersey via

skype thanks very much for being with us so as the the world health organization says this this is a global problem but some or seems to be getting the brunt of it why is that. there isn't one of the current made this out is the money children actually missed their mrs fox nation and the main reason is pullbacks nation coverage. in 2018 are law and honest mate another of more than 90000000 children missed. looks like we've we've lost our connection there too to your deep apologies for that we'll move on our ride sharing service has announced nearly 6000 sexual assaults were reported to the company in the u.s.

over 2 years it is the 1st time has released the figures which cover 20172018 the allegations range from unwanted touching kissing rape and 19 fatal souls who were and its competitors have been facing growing pressure to deal with complaints of abuse. now after weeks of political unrest that left more than 30 people dead bolivians wary of new elections longtime president is in exile in mexico he was following accusations of voter fraud john heilemann reports. after the abrupt exit of long term president ever more rallies the protests and this that followed a tense calm prevails in bolivia. the country is functioning at least under an interim government but it's also in limbo waiting for fresh elections that have yet to be called their city of the i must begin on my side the best thing would be for

elections democratic elections without the fraud that the last president did and that it happens soon because the country is paralyzed in certain aspects and with the new elected government things will be better. interim president jimmy 9 years is an elected to ministration has been busy radically altering the country's foreign policy and accusing venezuela of course in the recent people not just in bolivia throughout the region you see. mr moore through. using his cousin has financed all the terror the bolivians have experienced in recent days the terror that colombians to land's end peruvians are experiencing this is really a conspiracy against latin america. and would be closer to home were ellis has been accused of sedition and heading up a narco network charges have also been presented against other leaders from his party. some believe you are happy with what they see is

a rooting out of institutionalized corruption you know you will be having to do you know the interim government is acting to bring to light the barbarities that the last government committed so it would be good that they stay for a bit longer. others see it as a revenge mission from conservatives finally back in power the country's next president was jutes its. take up the reigns on the 22nd of january that's not going to happen now amee well the interim administration instead of just a caretaker role is taking actions which while it and its supporters feel a lesser to clean up the country and bring fresh direct should to others curry the with of political persecution. and allowed to supporters vex president really has been a clamp down against the rejection you know years seeing this illegitimate how did this that must let you know right now we need elections janina now says there's

peace peace and alto there's no peace they say that we have been vandalizing the city but it's a lot more they were gathered to try and find out if social programs begun and continue but one of the questions will only be definitively answered of to believe you go to the polls whenever that is don't hold with al-jazeera. or i want to go back to the middle story we were telling you about earlier happy to report we fixed the technical problems that we had earlier with our guest. in new jersey thanks again for being with us so i want to ask you just picking up from what we were discussing before this the this the growth of this information and fears about vaccines seems to be a major problem why do you think that is especially when it goes against the facts it goes against the basic science why why is it been hard to overcome.

yeah they each sure of mistrust and misinformation actually is it's also plants with with social media and the mothers that patents can be fearful to get that vaccination. because of this missing information. that is the main reason for example if you take the. issue of means are what happened whereas in 2017 there was an incident of. 2 children dying to do after mrs spots a nation that was purely due to to men and her but i've heard that in the population in the in the parents. become to get box a nation and actually plant was due to receive permission and meet mistrust

in the community so how do you how do you combat that then i mean how do you fight against things like that. you know convincing parents that that is it is in the best interests of their children to to to have them vaccinated. yeah that's actually we have to look to 2 to fight that by actually being transparent and. reach out to the communities. and also all actually educate the community that the vaccination is actually very important and did dismiss this outbreak globally by itself actually shows that. it is uptick to. the i'm back tonight and to try and it is resulting in a lot of planning because of the number of their high number of unvaccinated

children of any. virus actually is highly contagious and also it's really not in in in the several days and affecting the community highly soul. that is i mean we need to educate population and we need to reach out and. and explain that the bucs nature but nation is very important and we have to be also transparent with with was with the community. in actually is you taking the community about the importance of parts nation and we need also to use social media and benevolent means who actually informed what we need to be about missing information and.

yeah that's what we need to do actually. get to talk to you did thanks for being with us. still ahead on with a week to go until election day a boost for boris johnson's conservatives in the u.k. . we visit the mississippi communities in the u.s. struggling to hold on to their way of life in a changing landscape. and old eyes as the tokyo 2020 olympics are feeling the heat off to more events. over health and safety concerns that with the 2 in sport later .

hello we didn't have any 24 hours ago discernible circulation in the sky just the east coast of china is falling apart but what it produced which was thunderstorms all spread out now under the sector which looks fairly benign not very bright spent here rain is there on the east coast of china it might just reach shanghai is more likely just to come inland further south the heart of it's off shore but it will hit taiwan quite hard you have a wet day in store on friday as well as probably edging away from hong kong everywhere else it's fine and sunny it's not particularly cold it's down to near frost levels at night and by saturday that rains edged away even from taiwan but still you got the briefing showers to the northern philippines which no big surprise really but the cycle has gone for the philippines it's it's here more or less you call it isn't anymore one bit of good news there i think i think is good news because it's rainy season getting sex into a good part of indonesia has been taking a while but the green which represents really the forecast from what you just saw on the satellite some storms in borneo southern sumatra and dian through jakarta

and the rest of java is leaving most of thailand dry but good policy matter both north and south could be wet but i think the good news is probably in java's hands . whether sponsored by catalona. i thought this conviction that everyone has a deep reservoir of tonic billeted and if you can give them the opportunity wonderful things start to happen sometimes the simplest situations are the most impactful but they are. the main things that sets out 0 apart from other news organizations is that a lot of our reporting is about real people not about ideas or politicians or what they may want to do but how policies and how events affect real people it's ok it's ok it's ok to get a little more complicated operations probably if this is north america i'm going to look for bits of the work you're doing here is amazing that there aren't so many

fossils and it feels like this is just a dent what was your relationship with joe normal or ok so suddenly becomes. this job isn't just about what's on a script or a piece of paper it's about what's happening right now. and again you're watching a reminder of our top stories this hour u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi has asked for formal impeachment charges to be drawn up against the president for abuse of power donald trump says he looks forward to a fair trial in the republican controlled senate. today russian hackers are

being accused of living the high life on the money stolen from banks and businesses in more than 40 countries 5000000 dollar reward has been announced for the alleged ring. leaders arrest and conviction. hundreds of thousands of people have marched across france in one of its largest strikes by workers in years protests against president emanuel mccall's plan pension reforms turned violent in some cities. talks between major oil exporting nations have wrapped up for thursday in austria without an announcement on production cuts the discussions went late into the night at opec's headquarters in vienna the or cartels been cutting production for the past 3 years and further reductions are expected but there's disagreement about how the way should be shared out osama bin job it is been following the 2 day meetings in vienna he spoke with oil market analyst

cornelia my arba the lack of consensus there. has been rumors about half a 1000000 barrels being cut and that was something which was alluded to by the russian energy minister is ready to discuss stuff for though we have cornelia myers with us who've been watching this for years half a 1000000 barrels doesn't seem to be that much for opec countries really is the sticking point i think it is actually quite a lot because it comes on the top of 1200000 pounds and then you have to see that there is one country that has she taken most of the burden which is saudi arabia and says well we are happy to take you know this proportionate amount of burden but do you other people need to take some of the burden us well and you have iraq and nigeria at this point happily overproducing so it's really about how do you divvy it up from what i've heard 350000 go to opec 150000 goes to nano pick but amongst the opec guys you really need to see you know who just want no

think that's what it discussing now who takes how much of the burden and this is as you said coming on 1200000 barrels that they have been cutting for the last 3 years as well what does this mean. for the rest of the world which is watching this blog fight it out and come up with some sort of a concrete solution because it's not just cutting the oil production which is important it's about making sure that other nation states are complying with those cuts as well and that's exactly what this is all about because we have some people who are 3 d. not complied and so did the people who have compliant no need to have the heart to her it was the people who haven't complained said yes we can do that but it's no good doing that if you don't comply so and so that's one thing and i think you know you had iraqi oil minister coming out on sunday saying he thinks it's 400000 barrels incremental so anything 400000 or anything lower than 400000 would have put a mike it's into a tailspin so de need to deliver something but it doesn't make sense if only one

country delivers especially a step one country also has an i.p.o. if it's all company good in my eyes thank you very much for being with us and there you have it we were expecting a news conference from opec ministers and their representatives which hasn't happened and it is going to be further discussions which are going to carry on into friday morning and that's when we'll realize what they've agreed upon and how this half a 1000000 barrel cut is going to actually happen. british prime minister barak's johnson has gotten a political boost just a week before the u.k. general election for members of the european parliament abandoned nigel farage a brace of party to back the conservatives they say only a victory for johnson will ensure the u.k. leaves the european union the brakes are issues dominated the election and torn apart old party alliances the main opposition labor party's promise to hold

politics altogether and for good reason for years successive governments happen accused of doing little to help towns like. there is still big business but decades of deindustrialization have led to high levels of unemployment labor has a long history of doing well here in holly this is an election like no other him recent times it is unpredictable and the stakes of course couldn't be higher for the people of holly paul what they want more than anything is their voices to be heard and their lives to improve. at the wharton trust community center one of the most deprived areas of the country people are keeping count life can be challenging here but people help each other out and they want real change it's about people who need. better.

but bricks it looms large in areas like this where people voted to leave the e.u. and that could mean punishing parties at the polls if ever pay extra ordinary you know a party that's been around. for 7 or 8 months who has got absolutely no connection with the pope and they vote for him in order to get him elected that would be extraordinary and would say it remains the single biggest issue in their lives or at least that element of democracy remains the single biggest issue the lies all parties are promising to recruit the lives of ordinary people politics since the e.u. referendum has deeply divided society and the issue of could end up being a deeper split at the ballot box when it comes to the result and he would al-jazeera. iraq's parliament has passed the bill to reform its electoral commission in an effort to ease the tensions of the 2 months of anti-government
