this is al jazeera. jordan this is the al-jazeera news hour live from coming up in the next 60 minutes the presidents of ukraine and russia agree on a cease fire by the end of the year in eastern ukraine to try and resolve a fire the conflict. making a case for impeachment or against it lawyers for democrats say donald trump is a danger to democracy while republicans called inquiry a sham. president trump's persistent and continuing effort to coerce a foreign country to help him cheat to win an election is a clear and present danger president 63000000 people voted for over 8

lines in a call transcript is. syrian and russian forces pound the rebel held province of idlib with air strikes killing dozens of people and displacing thousands. we compete knowledge songs of lot. no hope of finding any more survivors on new zealand's white island after the volcano erupts killing 5 people 8 still missing. russian ukraine have agreed to implement a full and comprehensive cease fire in the east of the country by the end of the year russia's president as a meeting the ukrainian leader in paris $14000.00 people have died in the 5 year long conflict in eastern ukraine between russia back separatists and the ukrainian government well i've got to step back in paris step so the leaders met for maybe 7 hours of talks just talk us through what's come out of the summit.

well as i expected not a major breakthrough here but some most some very specific points and steps that are going to be taken in the next few weeks and next few months 1st of all the will be this ceasefire before the end of the year there will also be more disengagement points in the last couple of months already at 3 points on or around the front line there have been disengaged means of troops they have been withdrawn total will be 3 more there will be another prisoner release an exchange before the end of the year as well and there will be more crossing points between this russian backed separatist area and the rest of you crave for the most difficult and complicated issues like the special status for. the east of ukraine and also the elections and the timeframe to hold these elections those those issues have not been resolved and selenski also sat still

a lot of work to be done to achieve that president putin in his statements that he really insist that this special status becomes a part of the constitution and ukraine which is a very sensitive issue and also not explaining when the russian backed troops will actually this arm the issue also of border control of ukraine has not been sorted at the moment they are now planning to hold another normandy formant meeting like the one today in 4 months to all find solutions to this very difficult political problem that we know that 14000 people have been killed across the 5 year conflict so what does all of this mean and back on the ground in the east of ukraine. well i think so far what we can say is that at least this summit has happened it's been postponed many times and it shows that there is at least new hope and that's

also so. i think that mccrone was stressing this is this is a new you know in france again after 3 years 3 years ago these talks collapsed so it will be more trust on both sides if a summit like this is successful and that's something the people on the ground in eastern ukraine will feel automatically as well because i was there 2 weeks ago there was little trust cease fires were broken all the time they were still shelling nearly every day and nearly every week people are dying so as long as there is trust between these 2 sides ukraine and russia and these baby steps are continue to be made that at least the people in ukraine in eastern ukraine will feel that just in the french capital step thank you. now in the u.s. the house judiciary committee has held another hearing in the impeachment

proceedings against president donald trump attorneys for both parties presented arguments for and against impeaching trump is accused of pressuring ukraine to investigate his political rival joe biden was there was how does your castro. fire works inside of monday's impeachment hearing likely to last before the house judiciary committee draft articles of impeachment came not just from protesters but also republican members committed to showing that they believe the proceedings against trump are a sham. schedule not to consider major ruling if the order to appeal. to try to overturn the results of an election were not elected to the gentleman and the witnesses were attorneys for both parties and though the facts were the same that trump froze military assistance to ukraine then asked its president to launch investigations into trump's political opponents the interpretations of those facts

could it be more different president. use the powers of government for a domestic political erin to put his political interests above that of the nation and reach a president who's 63000000 people voted for over 8 lines in a call transcript is boni it's unclear who the lawyers are trying to convince members of the house judiciary committee made up their minds long ago along party lines democrats hold the majority and will draft articles of impeachment likely by next week if the president puts himself before the country evaluates a president's most basic responsibility he breaks his oath to the american people. if he puts them south before the country in a manner that threatens our democracy and our growth our promise to the american people requires us to come to the defense of the nation trumps attorneys declined an invitation to attend the hearing signaling vigorously defend the president before the senate in a likely trial in january and it's

a disgrace to our country it's a hoax republicans hold the senate majority which means that obviously a conviction in the sun will fall well short of the 2 thirds requirement to remove president trump from office and i think you would likely expect that it would be entirely a partisan vote outside the ivory domes of the u.s. capitol polls show the american public is also strongly divided by party voters who identify as democrats strongly support the impeachment republicans are strongly opposed that about split the population evenly in halves with opinions unchanged since the beginning of this impeachment inquiry republicans say trump speight should be decided by the people in next year's elections but democrats say because trump is accused of soliciting foreign interference in those very elections he must be held accountable now heidi joe castro al-jazeera washington well let's bring in

daniel freeman he's a fellow at the center for congressional and presidential studies at the american university joins us live now from washington d.c. danielle sub-s. democratic and republican lawyers are presented their cases for and against impeachment how significant was today's process and what have you learned from it. well i don't know that we've learned anything from it everything that was said today would came as no surprise to anyone who's been following this. so i think this was just another step that they had to check off before they decide whether or not and if so how to proceed on impeachment articles so just talk us through how the house judiciary committee could then drew up the articles of impeachment these of course other former charges against the president what are they likely to be well that's the big question right now all the members of the house judiciary

committee democratic caucus will meet i expect with the house leadership nancy pelosi and speaker's people to decide what they want to include in the articles of impeachment and there are there's impeachment and then there's impeachment lite some people feel that they ought to just limit the allegations in the articles of impeachment to the ukrainian question and there are others in the democratic caucus who believe that they auto expand them and include allegations relating to the motor investigation once that decision is made as to whether or not they're going to do narrow or broad then they will be drafted by the staff and the judiciary committee will notice a markup and a markup is where you amend read the bill for amendment. that is not a pretty process and it's not a simple process in the clinton impeachment the markup took 3 days

and you have to remember under the house rules anybody can offer an amendment and then they get 5 minutes to debate and if you've got $41.00 lawyers in the room times how many articles of impeachment 123 or 4. this could go on for a long time. 1000000 terms of the process how could today's hearing then influence the shaping of those articles of impeachment because that as you say there's intense debate about how expansive the charges of high crimes and misdemeanors should be well i guess i'm cynical but i don't think today's hearing. accomplished a lot it made the people who are in favor of impeaching the president united states more in favor of it and vice versa so i don't think the substance of what the witnesses had to say today affected anybody's position at all except on just those

narrow issues relating to the ukraine ok let's just throw forward then to the final impeachment vote in the senate what's the process here in terms of how that vote works on what would be needed to remove the president or not well you're jumping way ahead we have a bi cameral legislature and so what we'd 1st have to do is go through the house judiciary committee and go through the process of marking up articles of impeachment whether wide or narrow then the judicial committee has got to file its report the minority has the option to write dissenting views about it and they will be included in the report then will go to the house floor the chairman of the committee will be recognized as a matter of the highest privilege of the questions of the privileges of the house to call up the articles. then there will be debate on the house floor how long that will go on is flexible depends on how many people want to talk.

normally and we spent 2 days doing the clinton impeachment articles assuming that at least one article is adopted and maybe more but it was at least one article is adopted then the president technically is impeached the next thing that happens is that the chairman of the judiciary committee will call up another privilege resolution which is what i call the housekeeping resolution it names who the managers are going to be managers who are members of the house who are the prosecutors in the senate and it authorizes the house to notify the senate that we're going to come over in present these articles and then it provides for housekeeping and funding for staff once that resolution is adopted it's up to the house in the senate leaderships to decide when that exhibition will take place ok in the last impeachment. it it took several days are done

a friend had to leave it there thank you thank you very much indeed for your time thank you now the f.b.i.'s investigation into contacts between donald trump's presidential campaign and russian 2016 wasn't legitimate that's the finding of the u.s. justice department which says there was no evidence of political bias but the department's inspector general did find a number of areas and how the f.b.i. handled the inquiry well mike hanna joins us live now from washington d.c. mike so the d.o.j. says it's found no evidence of political bias by the f.b.i. what's the background to this report and what more do we know. well the report was drawn up by the department's inspector general michael harvard's who's been in that position for 7 years regarded by many as a straight shooter now he has been on this particular investigation since march 2017 he was asked to investigate where the there had been among other things any attempt by the f.b.i. to spy on the trump campaign this is something that president trump has publicly

claimed along with a number of his followers now this report rules out any form of political bias within the f.b.i. it says that the f.b.i. had sufficient evidence to investigate the campaign it had sufficient evidence to serve injunctions it had sufficient evidence to do what it was doing now he did find some cases where it had been incorrect in terms of the way it operated he's a listed these particular cases but most importantly he has rejected what has been president trump's mantra for a long period of time along with some of his republican supporters that the f.b.i. has a bias against a trump presidency and even some have claimed that it has some kind of deep state attempt to dismantle the trump presidency this completely ruled by a highly respected inspector general unlike president trump has already reacted to

the report what's he been saying. well it seems to be like an alternative reality president trump seats the report as a complete success in terms of his point of view he supported in this by the attorney general william barr who has basically rejected the report by the department general's own inspector general so this in itself is a remarkable situation where you have the attorney general rejecting and essentially contradicting a report by the inspector general president trump has taken what he thinks is the body of the report and saying that it completely justifies what he had to say about interference in his campaign by the f.b.i. here is president trump speaking to discreate what has happened. with respect to the things that were done to our country it should never again happen to another president it is incredible far worse than i would have ever thought

possible and it's it's an embarrassment to our country it's dishonest it's it's everything that a lot of people thought it would be except far worse now is what role is william barr playing in all of this bar has appointed back in may this year a special prosecutor to investigate precisely the same set of incidents to investigate the f.b.i. involvement or alleged f.b.i. involvement and to investigate the f.b.i. investigation however the questions now are being asked by many democrats is is william barr just attempting to find some way in which he can support the president's controversial contentions which is being that dancing without any evidence whatsoever once again real waking the democratic concerns that william barr the attorney general is essential operating as a personal attorney to the u.s. president or to my kind of there live for us in washington d.c. mike thank you well how religion is a former u.s.

deputy assistant attorney general he says both sides are trying to control the narrative. that all seemed a kind of pageantry didn't it about a lot of sound and fury but both sides are entrenched had their minds made up i mean i do think the democrats brought forward over the last fortnight quite a lot of facts and they republicans mission was to somehow change the subject or perhaps make implications that there's something sinister in the core of things but i didn't see anything they said that actually went to rebut the the findings but i think each side is very entrenched in its positions and at this point we might have thought a couple weeks ago that that could change based on the strength of the evidence it seems clear that won't be the case now and things are hurdling toward a somewhat preordained conclusion at least in the house and you could see it either way of course. obviously fears on loz the prospect of impeachment and he's

being tagged at least with allegations that are really not not just inflammatory but but deeply concerning probably unprecedented in the history of the presidency on the other hand there's some indication that the nature for the nature of his base these kinds of accusations just somehow redouble their enthusiasm for him and you will find political pundits on either side of the equation saying this will help him or this will hurt him of course one thing to note is if it does go according to schedule everything will play out including an acquittal in january something of a lifetime away from the 10 months between then and the actual reelection including the selection of the democratic nominee so what what exact impact the an impeachment will have is a very difficult thing to predict we know to date it hasn't seemed to do much to

change the general political dynamic in the country which this favors trump but but by no more then when the inquiry started. lots more so to come on the news hour including eisel fighters are long gone from mosul but life is far from normal for the people in the northern iraqi city. and accusations a large part of sudan's gold wealth has been stolen by a paramilitary group. and sport the world anti-doping agency has russia 4 year ban from all major sporting events details coming up a little later in the program. syrian activists say more than 18000 people have been displaced in the rebel held province in the past 24 hours syrian and russian government their strikes have intensified despite a ceasefire announced by moscow in august at least 10 civilians were killed on

smoke and ash rises thousands of metres into the air is the white island volcano also known by its indigenous maori name for a car erupts it's 50 kilometers away but the toxic cloud of sulphur in chlorine can be seen from the mainland. 34 people managed to get off the island some in boats others including some of the injured by helicopter volcanic ash is now hampering rescue as attempts to get to the island 47 people when talking to the island. we can you're looking for. a deceased. 31 currently in hospital through that i. still missing in 3 had been discharged from hospital. new zealand's prime minister has talked to the rescue missions i want to acknowledge the courageous decision made by 3 spondon and those pilots who are in the immediate risk if it made

a incredibly brave decision under extraordinary really dangerous circumstances in an attempt to get people out as a result of the if it's the number of people we risk it from the island why it's island is located in the bay of plenty and has been active for at least 150000 years he's new zealand's largest and most unpredictable volcano erupting every couple of years releasing gas clouds steam and rocks the alert level was raised last month a warning that the volcano may experience a period of activity more than normal and it's not a particularly big eruption is its seed was kind of. almost like a throat clearing kind of eruption and that's why material probably won't of made it to mainly new zealand won't make it mainly in new zealand on the scheme of things for volcanic eruptions it's not large but if you're close to it there it is

of it's not good. emergency services haven't confirmed whether any of the 8 missing are still alive but reconnaissance flights haven't yet found any signs of life or retellings al-jazeera. turkey has sent back more suspected eisel fighters and their families to their home countries this time to france 11 suspects were deported on monday this brings the total number of foreign nationals sent home by the since mid november to more than 70 most of them have come from france or germany but they've also been others from belgium australia and the us has been holding more than 1200 suspected i saw members in its prisons and in territory under the temporary control of its forces in northern syria last month ankara announced it will be ramping up its efforts to deport more i still fight is that a battle has more from paris on the agreement between turkey and france. back in november when the turkish government announced that it would be deporting some of

these suspected eisel fighters that the french interior minister kristofferson at the time confirmed that france would indeed receive them under an agreement that had been made back in 2014 between france and turkey so it was a different government before present government that's been very adamant that they do not wish to receive adult eisel suspects the french government says that they are open to receiving children minors but not adults now what normally happens though when suspects arrive here in france is that they are arrested as soon as they do arrive and that they then face the french justice system but as i said because the french government does not want to receive adult suspects believing that they should be tried in the area where they committed their crimes they the relationship between france and turkey is probably going to be further strained by this and of course we've seen just recently how that has become increasingly tense last week. suggesting that turkey was taking unilateral decisions outside of

nato rules at a nato summit in london and of course the turkish president has recently accused the french president of harboring terrorists because of a man or macro's meetings with kurdish groups. time for a short break here and i'll just say right when we come back a controversial bill in india that's criticized from discriminating against is one step closer to becoming. celebrations in argentina ahead of the official return to one of the country's grand old parties. and historic much more than. plenty of active weather across much of the united states and canada as we go

of pressure on ukraine to investigate his political rival. and the u.s. justice department has found no evidence of political bias by the f.b.i. when it opened an investigation into contact with me and donald trump's presidential campaign in russia in 2016. now iraq's foreign ministry has summoned 4 ambassadors for their condemnation of a weekend attack on but just as in baghdad 20 anti-government demonstrators and 4 police officers were killed when gunmen opened fire on a protest and the capital's tahrir square on friday iraq has accused envoys from the u.k. france germany and canada of interfering in its internal affairs. security forces in iraq are in force in a complete lockdown in the southern city of karbala checkpoints have been established and people are being prevented from entering or leaving the city residents have been mourning a prominent activist who was shot dead late on sunday after attending protests. was critical of efforts to intimidate demonstrators. well one of the issues protesters

in iraq are upset about is poor government mosul was liberated from islip 2 years ago but the slow pace of reconstruction is causing frustration at least 14000 homes need urgent repairs 6000 need to be completely rebuilt so manifold and reports now from mosul. life is slowly returning to morsels old city 2 and a half years after a devastating battle left in ruins some houses are finally being rebuilt dean's home was partly destroyed in an airstrike the damage was less than 60 percent and so he qualified for a rehabilitation project run by the united nations development program he's grateful for the support but blames the government for the slow pace of reconstruction and the lack of services i feel. we live in injustice our country is rich we have oil and can't displacing but it's not in the hands of the citizens why is it only the organization was coming to help you with

a government i ask you who brought this failed corrupt government there are thieves who are put in power they didn't do anything for us and still the family is lucky to soon have a roof over their head some parts of the old city remain level to the ground the result of a relentless campaign of correlation airstrikes. the made an area is where i saw made its last stand in july 2017 and since then it has remained virtually unchanged the biggest obstacle is not just like a funding but also disagreement over how it should be rebuilt some officials want to open it up to private investment while others want to rebuild it in a way that preserves whatever is left of the spirit and the architecture of the old city residents whose houses have been completely destroyed are entitled to government compensation but less than 5 percent of the $33000.00 claims submitted in this province have been paid out so far this family lost their house in an air

strike since then they rented this rundown apartment in east mosul last year the government finally agreed to pay compensation but only a 3rd of what they paid to constructed just 5 years ago and even that money has yet to be processed. for them there when this paper was issued we were shocked we lost our house we lost the furniture and we cannot do anything and i understand there is no benefits to appeal it will cost him more money whatever they told me i will accept this is our fate that none of us knew governor the 3rd person to hold that post in just 2 and a half years admits the government made mistakes. to the staff and bureaucracy has affected the pace of construction yes the funds that we received are insufficient to meet the needs of the province but unfortunately many of these funds were also returned to state coffers because of bureaucracy. the mounting

feeling of neglect is reminiscent of 2013 when thousands protested in mosul against corruption the government violently crushed the demonstrations paving the way for iceland's rise people are no less angry now but they say they are too exhausted simply trying to survive see one awful teen al-jazeera mosul. in argentina supporters of the peronist party are celebrating its return to power. many supporters dressed as eva peron the wife of the former president to mark the occasion. has been a major force in our politics since presidents in the 1940 president. will be on tuesday. the celebrations in the capital.

in several states in india describing it as a discriminatory legislation intended to talk of. the bill is intrinsically linked to the national register of citizens analysts say as the indian government makes it mandatory for all indians to register it off as muslims no protection it is unacceptable not only because it is and by not it not only because it gets lost lives not only because it is unconstitutional but because it is against the very idea of. members of opposition parties have accused the government of polarizing the people of many political analysts politicians and this government want to know why this bill that's meant to protect persecuted minorities does not include muslims. they say citizenship on the basis of religion is taking any other step too far from being a secular state and closer to being the nation. however some hindus are also

against it and show father was detained and accuse of being an illegal migrant he found in a detention center and died but his son wants his father's dignity restored not because they were religiously persecuted bengali hindus from bangladesh but because they are indian. al-jazeera new delhi where were saddam's powerful rapid support forces have been accused of stealing a large part of the nation's gold wealth the rides. global witness says the probably true group and its leader ahmed hamdan the galo may be a growing threat to civilians fragile peace the galo. is said to be linked to 3 companies at the heart of r.s.s. funding one is a gold trading company and 2017 the rapid support forces seize control of a dollar for gold mine global witness says 2 other companies controlled by amity family are used to funnel money to and from the paramilitary group the report also

says they are a safe purchased 1000 vehicles from dealers in the united arab emirates and the rights group says the group has an account under its own name and a subsidiary of emirates bank the rapid support force is supposed to be controlled by sudan's military but according to global witness its funding is almost totally independent. reports from khartoum the global witness report adds to existing concerns about the r 7 leader. for starters protesters who have been leading sudan's revolution since last year have been saying that they are also concerned about the role that the deputy head of the sovereign council hamid to who is the head of the i.r.s. have is playing to end a transitional period there saying that they're concerned he's trying to whitewash his image with the global witness is saying that they're concerned about the economy about his source of income and that he's using natural resources from the country to fund his militias which according to the head of the sovereign council for dr hunt who is the commander in chief says that the our staff and the sudanese

military are one and that they have the same budget but that report says that no what is happening is that the aristide has its own source of income from gold mines in the western region of darfur as well as the southern region of south kordofan so there are concerns that with the rapid support forces forces that have fords rebel groups in darfur and that have been accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity and atrocities that this transitional period would be very shaky if things don't go the way their commander him if he wanted to go well global witness says major industries across the world must act on the evidence. our report and our findings show that the rapid support forces have have a series of budget accounts they have from what we believe to be the front companies from from the documents that we've seen that are funneling money to the outer surface sometimes to the tune of $11000000.00 and there seems to be very little oversight and scrutiny by the democratic civilian component of the

government or even the sudanese armed forces itself it seems there is very little oversight and we believe that it's the done is really to be on a course for a peaceful transition it's essential to have this this oversight and accountability with the with the r.s.s. finances its sources of wealth how you know this is this is vast amounts of money we're talking about here from natural resource industries in the in the sources but there's also a question for the international gold industry about how much of this gold is making its way into into international supply chains we know the bust majority's going through dubai and the emirates and that really seems to be the hope of a lot of this this business activity that has very little oversight and transparency. now france will host an international conference and that resolving the political and economic crisis in lebanon and to government protests have been ongoing since october the country's been without a functioning government for most 6 weeks after prime minister saad hariri resigned
