a race against time to vaccinate children and some of the pacific island battles on these rules outbreak that's killed more than 60 people. the impeachment process against the u.s. president is shifting into high gear house democrats have announced they're drawing up formal charges on a rapid timetable the setting the stage for a vote before christmas and that could mean a senate trial showdown in january heidi jocasta reports now from washington d.c. . it's official me that with confidence and humility with allegiance to our founders and in fact full of love for america today i'm asking you to proceed with 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 are usually fine when your legacy. reza hoax it's a hoax or big fat 0 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. into why 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. watch him at their words watch him 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 hide your castro al-jazeera washington. indian police shot dead 4 men suspected of raping and killing a veterinarian in hyderabad in a case that's reignited nationwide protests over attacks on women they were taken to the crime scene as part of the investigation but police say they tried to escape and was shot. crowds in hyderabad welcomed the killings hundreds of people gathered at the crime scene and chanting long live the police the victim's family have also thanked officers. i'd like to think in congratulate the telling god the government police and all those who supported me my daughter's so now has. they have to live and

this will be an example and nobody will even think of doing it. is in new delhi she says the details are still unclear. the local police commissioner is on the spot and he said that an encounter took place and the 4 accused have been killed he confirmed that and said the details would be revealed shortly so an official more than not official details by the police have not yet been shared however what we have learnt is that the police were taking the 4 accused for the last 2 nights to the spot to reconstruct the event as a part of the investigation and then the police saying that these accused one of them tried to snatch the weapon and one of the police officers they got into a scuffle they tried to escape and that is when the policeman shot them down a retired police official list all the indian media that such incidents can be explained these incidents can happen in the heat of the moment in the police perhaps do not have the time to shoot. the queues in the leg and that is why the

killings have taken place the family as you said have welcomed this and also the family of the victim who was killed back in december 2012 after which again there were many many protests that family has also welcomed this calling it justice and saying this is the right sort of punishment in this sentiment sami really emerges from the fact that justice is still delayed the processes are still very long there is also huge stigma attached to the victims themselves and that is why the popular sentiment here seems to be that this sort of up on this woman this sort of retribution of justice is the way to go forward of course there are lawyers and activists who are saying that law must be followed and that there are many questions still unanswered as far as this incident is concerned conveyed to krishnan is the secretary of the all india progressive women's association she says it's unlikely police who continue the investigation into the rape murder in hyderabad. according to the police the closing of that book you know they have done

so-called justice and the problem i have and the way i think it is that i think that this kind of lynch mob sentiment is now no longer just a public sentiment but actually is deflected as a tool of government by those who govern us at the center in delhi as well as and state including polling done on other seats because these are governments that are unable to prevent him from buying bonds are like that she said if i am able to prevent him from being pilloried in court and from being told by the judge that all we agree that you said no but you're not with evil and a feeble no could mean i guess this kind of thing they are unable to change unable to protect and able to prevent and now they want us to accept this kind of lynch mob sentiment as justice and we have to place this in a larger matrix where the central government now and if he does and if the ruling party is encouraging a lynch mob incident to happen encouraging people to say just kill people from

especially from minority communities and vulnerable communities and just kill them if you suspect them of anything and that's really if you come from a vulnerable community or you're a poor person it's very easy to suspect you and if you do anything without any evidence whatsoever france is facing a 2nd day of disruption as hundreds of thousands strike overplan pension reforms public sector workers walked off the job 1st so transport throughout the country as many grounds to a home schools are closed and hospitals are understaffed it's the biggest mass triton 2 decades. massive demonstrations turned violent in some cities on thursday . been speaking to union leaders in the capital. 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

a company which is going to be worth 2 trillion dollars well he didn't get that he wanted to raise $100000000000.00 he didn't get that and he wanted international investors to buy into the company and he didn't get that but what you do have is a $1.00 trillion dollar company he raised $25600000000.00 is still going to be the biggest i.p.o. in history so there is some success there but the reason why international investors weren't interested in buying into the company because they didn't see the same value that the saudis did they thought the company was worth between 1 point one trillion 1.5 trillion now the saudis wouldn't budge on that price the international festers wouldn't budge on the price that they saw that this was a fair value and so they decided not to invest and so the saudis went out and said ok well we'll sell this company to. 2 people inside arabia as well as the g c c now they're going to make sure that this is a serious not only only to save face but to make sure that those small investors

a week before the u.k. general election 4 members of the european parliament have abandoned nigel farage is braggs it party to back the conservatives they say only a victory for johnson will ensure the u.k. leaves the e.u. the main opposition labor party is promising to hold the 2nd referendum if it wins briggs's issue has dominated the election. johnson's conservative party remains ahead in the polls but the opposition labor party believes there's a possibility of unseating him johnson was nowhere to be seen this a campaign event in his own constituency on thursday on fear of force. here it is democracy in action voters queuing in the cold and dark to hear what their would be member of parliament has to say problem is someone's missing. they were used to boys not a very much aspirations. at the previous election he turned out for about 3 photo shoots or something like that had his photograph taken and then off he went again.

among the most irritated worthy environmental activists campaigning against the proposed massive expansion of heathrow airport just down the road johnson had promised to support them years ago but now i don't know i'd like to know why he has gone against the pledge he made in 25th day all seemingly that's what the manifesto is seeming to say when he actually could call the government for review right now and have him pace vote on it again. all through the campaign johnson's team have limited his appearances limited his ability to make mistakes and his dog debates with other policy leaders but not turning up to the only campaign event in your own constituency to the voters is something else again particularly when success isn't guaranteed. the constituency is an urban sprawl west of london rough around the edges and down on its luck boris johnson's

majority is small enough that even as prime minister a win here isn't a given but secularly since there are a large number of students at the local university likely to support the label opposition as well as that there is much criticism of johnson's refusal to fully participate in this election. i think in a way present something of a crisis in british politics if someone a senior is a prime minister refuses to take part in what is normal democratic convention now of course debates a recent thing but interviews with senior journalists are not only the extent to which he seems to be dodging these would seem to present a problem in the longer term in the end johnson's place at the table was offered to independent candidates a comedy acts called counts been face he joined the other more serious politicians to discuss the airport expansion and everything else to

a whole half empty because the most important politician come it all felt completely surreal. what johnson has in his favor is that people seem to like having a prime minister as their local m.p. and as well as that this constituency voted for bricks it and so johnson is their main cheerleader further than that though his plans for his constituency things like the airport will not be revealed before next week's election lawrence lee al jazeera usually government leaders in mauritania say they'll investigate people trafficking networks after 63 migrants drowned off the coast more than 80 managed to swim ashore when their boat capsized they were described as being exhausted and starving is the largest loss of life along the western atlantic route to europe this year more heavy rain is expected in southeastern kenya or at least aren't 30 people have died after 2 months of flooding a tropical storm off the somali coast is expected to make landfall this weekend the
