peace prize but shares the credit with his eritrean counterpart. donald trump labeled impeachment charges against him as weak and the u.s. president's been accused of betraying his country the charges leveled by democratic party leaders for abuse of power and obstruction of congress castro reports from washington d.c. standing before a portrait of one of the nation's founding fathers george washington house democratic leaders made a historic announcement today in service to our duty to the constitution and to our country. the house committee on the judiciary is introducing 2 articles of impeachment charging the president of the united states donald j. drum with committing high crimes and misdemeanors the 1st article is abuse of power for withholding security aid and

a white house visit with ukraine's leader in exchange for political investigations that would benefit trump's reelection the 2nd obstruction of congress for refusing to cooperate with impeachment investigators the evidence is every bit as strong that president trump has obstructed congress fully without precedent and without basis in law if allowed to stand it would decimate congress's ability to conduct oversight of this president or any other in the future trump is only the 4th u.s. president to have impeachment proceed this far he denies all wrongdoing tweeting during the democrats' announcement witch hunt democrats say the evidence against trump is damning it includes testimony from more than a dozen witnesses and a white house call summary showing trump asked ukraine to launch investigations into his political rivals republicans though say that's not enough to remove a president they're not of peaching the president because they they can the list

and impeachable offense they're impeaching him because they're afraid he will get reelected that's not why you have the power of impeachment that's the abuse of power democrats are keeping the impeachment articles narrowly focused on trump's recent conduct with ukraine they decided not to charge the president court trying to stop the previous moller investigation that examine whether his campaign had colluded with russia in the last presidential election in less than a year's time a deeply divided america will return to the polls that will be after trump's impeachment trial in the senate where he'll likely be acquitted by his fellow republicans democrats say despite the slim chance of removal doing nothing or waiting what amounts to complicity with trump's misconduct the argument why don't you just wait amounts to this. why don't you just let him cheat in one more election why not let him cheat just one more time democrats say trump

remains a threat to the upcoming elections and to his own country heidi joe castro al-jazeera washington during a campaign rally trump reacted to the charges. you saw their so-called articles of impeachment today people are saying they're not even a crime what happened all of these horrible things remember bribery and this is where are they they send these 2 things are not even a drive this is the light is weak is impeachment you know a country set actually many impeach that you call judges and lots of many of pages but it was one today everybody said this is impeachment lite alan baron as a former special impeachment counsel to the u.s. house of representatives he believes allegations against trump are more serious than those faced by richard nixon apparently i mean there is no crack in the

republican wall nobody seems to be coming over to the democrats at this point. it's in some ways it shocking because if you analyze the facts and you take a look for example at the richard nixon near impeachment he wrote he resigned before he could be impeached that was essentially you know with a 3rd rate burglary and attempt to cover up all of it domestic didn't involve any foreign countries here we're talking about holding up a duly authorized appropriations for an ally that is being attacked by the russians and it's being held up so that the president can get a leg up on the next election i mean if we want to talk about what's more serious i think there's no comparison the white house says donald trump has again warned russia not to interfere in the u.s. election the president said to deliver the message during a meeting with russia's foreign minister has practical one. it had all the pleasantries expected when a foreign diplomat visits the us meetings

a working lunch with the secretary of state but somewhat unusually the russian foreign minister got another meeting at the white house with the u.s. president earlier at the state department circle of robin might pompei o said their discussions pretty much spanned the globe from syria to venezuela ukraine to israel but it was the 2016 u.s. election and allegations that russia interfered in it they provoked some tough talk a flat denial from leveraged who repeatedly said the white house was refusing to release correspondence to prove their innocence. because the clothes we read them all are reports there is no proof of any collusion for the 4th time now our suggestion is to publish that data that would show how russia responded through a special channel to review threats and cyber networks to show how russia responded to show how we suggested how to discuss this confidentially. i will publish all the documents we think appropriate we think we've shared plenty of facts that show what

happened in the 2016 election with our russian counterparts we don't think there's any mistake about what really transpired there but critics say tough words here at the state department are simply not enough they say the entire welcome sends a dangerous message i think we should not be receiving foreign minister of russia over. the state department it rewards their bad behavior it rewards the kind. of disruption you know democracy that russia has been gauged in and it will lead to more the visit comes at a time when the u.s. president is facing impeachment for allegedly trying to get ukraine to interfere in the next election but this made it clear what happened in the last one is still proving to be a problem for both countries relationship pedicle hain al-jazeera at the u.s. state department. all saudi arabian military students in the u.s. have had their training suspended the decision by the pentagon affects more than

850 saudis it follows an attack at an air base in florida last week in which 3 people were killed the f.b.i. believes saudi arabian air force officer mohammed saeed ronni acted alone when he carried out the attack lawrence korb is a former u.s. assistant. us now from washington d.c. we appreciate your time very much so this this joint program the programmer of the saudis come here to to do some training how big of a program as significant is that program well it's significant because right now we have about 5000 people from 150 countries but 800 of them are saudis so there was a big use of the groups here because they buy so much american military equipment and they want to come here to learn how to use it so in the day the day after this the shooting happened president trump some of his public comments were that he said the saudis had expressed sympathy remorse and basically alluded to the fact that

they would make this right with the families implying that there is some sort of monetary compensation that might come of this what do you make of his tone and it's framing of this when we're talking about lives that were lost. well i think the president should have good more forceful and said like the governor of florida or the congressman from florida you know basically look this is horrible this is terrible we're going to find out what happened and why so it doesn't happen again i think that's what he needed needed to do and as we know he has been loath to criticize the saudis even after their role in the deaths of the journalists to mr coote shogi and what of that i mean donald trump is pushed and wanted a travel ban from a lot of countries that are largely muslim countries but he has not felt that way about saudi arabia even in the in the law something like this happening so it's

clear what his stance may be might congress have a different position when it comes to wanting to dig into this more or very definitely because the congress has already. force trump to cut off our some of the military aid that we've been given to the saudis to support their war in yemen refueling their flights for example providing ammunition no i think that they will and i think the pentagon recognizes that which is why they said these $800.00 saudi military people are here can stay in classrooms but they can't go on firing ranges and fly and fly planes plus they're taking a look at the vetting procedures for the other 5000 people from 150 countries over the next 10 days to make sure that they've been checked before they come ok lawrence korb former u.s. assistant secretary of defense joining us from washington lawrence thank you very much thank you for having me. the saudi diplomat who headed the kingdom's

been alive and my children have been burnt alive for what crime only because they were born different one of a different ways and to a different religion from doors who kill and weep them and for this and. they have been made to pay the ultimate price genocide. as lawyer after lawyer laid out the game be his case suchi watched and listened in the court room one could only imagine what was going through her mind as repeated allegations were made of rape torture and murder by soldiers it was very important for thir have to 30 inches away from people who are describing and really excruciating and painful detail of the horrible crimes of the burmese military that happened on her watch me and says the raids on villages in rakhine state were legitimate counterterrorism operations the gambian say me and maher was and still is trying to wipe out an

watching the case closely as stephanie decker tells us from cox's bazar. the evidence of what happened to these people lie here among the many camps of cox's bizarre in southeastern bangladesh hundreds of thousands of tents hundreds and thousands of people each with horrifying stories stories of mass rapes of mass killings of people being locked inside their homes and burnt alive people here are aware of what is going on at the international court of justice they want justice but they're under no illusion that anything is going to happen fast it's been 2 and a half years since hundreds of thousands fled across the border across those mountains of me and more creating what is now the biggest refugee camp in the world the issue is now bangladesh no longer wants to host them in myanmar is given no guarantees that they will be safe when they return these are people with no state with no identity with no papers and they are unwanted you could say by everyone this is a long term problem that needs to be addressed geoffrey nice as

a human rights lawyer who worked at the international criminal tribunal for the former yugoslavia he says the case is unusual and important. you have to bear in mind that states are very reluctant to accuse other states of genocide need more reluctant to do anything about it that's meant that the genocide convention breaches of which are alleged here has only been used 2 or 3 times since his creation in 148 and here you've got the unusual position of the strangest state the gambia is not involved in the us taking the responsibility of taking my own mark to this court and that's a really important thing both for the reinjure muslims who's suffering will now be tested in a court but it's also important for the rest of the world because other states may follow on the examples this is not about prosecuting individuals for a crime that happens of course like the international criminal court or the ad hoc

tribunals for rand and the former yugoslavia this is an allegation of breach of a treaty which various states of signed up and if the breach is proved i.e. that the state has committed genocide then sanctions follow for that country and indeed compensation is possible but perhaps its most important effect is that if a country is found to have committed genocide it simply has to put its house in order or it will suffer international sanctions. mechanic activity has significantly increased on new zealand's white island in what could be a blow for efforts to recover the 8 people missing believed to be dead that erupted on monday killing at least 6 people 30 others are in the hospital 25 of them and critical condition there's increasing pressure from relatives to stage a recovery effort but police say safety is paramount. if we go to be suitable the informing tool. situation at the role of the oil and state say to them we can

half a degree may not sound like much but the un's body dealing with the science on climate change the i.p.c.c. says it will cause subtle but significant shifts and long term with the passions so drawing on the work of endless 6 brief here's an insight into what half a degree means. there is a 10 percent chance of an arctic summer without ice at least once before we have one and a half degree rise and you can take that up to an 80 percent chance before 2 degree rise the number of people exposed to severe drought will go up on average by more than 130000000 with a 1.5 degree rise and almost 200000000 at 2 degrees and the number of people flooded in coastal areas is projected to go up by at least $28000000.00 people every year by 2055 in a one and a half degree world and 30000000 each year with a 2 degree rise half a degree will kill between 70 and 90 percent of the world's coral scientists

predict and squeeze by half the habitats of 6 percent of insects creating a cascade of negative effects now limiting warming to a one and a half degree celsius rise a well below 2 is what nations signed up to in paris but those numbers weren't chosen because they what's best for the planet they were chosen because that's what nations could agree on and the pledges well they were never going to be enough anyway a report by the universal ecological fund shows that even if countries delivered on every single pledge from paris the average global temperature would rise by around 3 and a half degrees the i.p.c.c. says we need to have global greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 to stick to a $1.00 degree rise but to do that nations must commit to near much more ambitious pledges and in the years since paris levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

and how vibrant the economy this will be for all of us so it is such canada's deputy prime minister chrystia freeland called the u.s. embassy a win for all 3 countries all of us together have finally accomplished what we set out to do at the very outset a win win win agreement which will provide stability for workers in all 3 of our countries for many years to come. that is no small thing especially. those economists like dr jose rizal or cruz however when the benefits from mexico could be mostly conditional. for mexico i believe an opportunity has been created but it will depend on mexico being able to move from a low value added manufacturing economy to one that could generate through higher productivity and competitiveness the intermediate inputs north america tracks from

other regions of the world. since the rise of e-commerce the u.s. mexico and canada have been looking toward overhauling existing trade relations the u.s. is the result of a renegotiation of the north american free trade agreement unlike now after the us broadens international regulations affecting everything from intellectual property rights to environmental law. the signing of the trilateral document the agreement now moves to the legislative branches of the us mexico and canada for ratification . and mexico city. a huge sinkhole is opened up and brazil's capital the crater in brasilia swallowed at least 4 cars the vehicles had been parked next to a building site where the road partially collapsed authorities say there were no injuries. at least 6 people have been killed including a police officer during a shoot out this gunfight with police last 4 hours before. shot dead in

a 3rd election on the 2nd of march and there will be 3rd election definitely. because all the parties they don't want to give up about. you know this is tragic for the country there is no government right now everything in the country is disabled and obviously people are the ones paying the price. there is still time to stop it the deadline for a member of the israeli parliament or knesset to gain the backing for a coalition government is midnight on wednesday but the main players a deadlocked on the whole benjamin netanyahu now indicted in 3 separate corruption cases has taken to social media again this week blaming his opponents for the stalemate insists on staying on as prime minister for several months in any deal between his likud party and blue and white led by benny gantz who. grants has refused to serve under an indicted prime minister and now says netanyahu must renounce any claim to parliamentary immunity from prosecution when other potential

way out of a 3rd election has been closed off by netanyahu former defense minister avigdor lieberman who's refusing to bring his party into a right wing coalition at the center of the political logjam though here at the knesset is netanyahu legal plight he called the 1st election early in april aiming for a new mandate to help fight off the corruption charges he engineered the 2nd election in september but again failed to win that mandate a 3rd election would at least allow him to stay in office for the next 3 months but what does that buy him given a prosecution that could drag on for years it's not clear whether there is a very significant dividend from the former legal point of view but i think there is common wisdom is that he's a bargaining position reserving the prosecution is much stronger when he's in office to get to a 3rd election netanyahu would have to fight off. leadership challenge from within likud and any potential legal moves against the legitimacy of his position and as for israel's weary voters recent surveys suggest there resigned to going back to the polls in the 3rd election in less than a year would yield

a 3rd inconclusive result little there to lift the gloom. west jerusalem and investigation by the reuters news agency has found former white house executives helped to build a controversial spying unit for the united arab emirates the program was code named dread by the u.a.e. and was built to follow suspects in the years after the september 11th attacks order says richard clarke a former counterterrorism chief for president clinton and george w. bush set up this program in 2008 with other americans and it was sanctioned by the us the in its focus went further though targeting human rights activists and both the government of qatar and football's governing body fifa over the 2022 world cup bid joel schekman is the investigative reporter who broke the story for the reuters news agency he says the u.s. state department probably did not intend for the program to become what it has. yeah i think that the legal lines of what they could do became very blurred and i

think they became more blurred over the years you know as we previously reported you know the same project would end up targeting al-jazeera itself would end up targeted media figures human rights activists b.b.c. journalists women's rights activists all over the world and i don't think that that's you know what someone like richard clarke or or the state department have had ever necessarily intended the problem is when you when you create a surveillance program like this it's very easy for it to spiral out of control and become like sort of a tool for for those in power to go after their enemies i think the u.s. government it's within their power to say that. you know former n.s.a. people can't go to work. for the u.a.e. as hackers you know they can't stop the you a program from functioning but there's no reason that the u.s. government has to authorize and allow people who gave these kind of hacking skills to go in and work for

a monarchy that is you know using those skills to you know to stifle dissent. gulf leaders have made a show of unity at a summit in the saudi capital despite divisions within the regional bloc the gulf cooperation council call for closer military and financial ties but looming over the meeting was the blockade of qatar saudi arabia the u.a.e. bahrain any egypt diplomatic and economic ties the qatar in 2017 accused of supporting terrorism which doha denies the secretary general said there are ongoing efforts to end the crisis north says. as you may have noticed since the crisis began we've been moving in 2 axes and the 1st is the crisis itself and the core of the problem his royal highness the emir of kuwait has been mediating between all concerned parties and this was at the highest level as you have seen all of this state leaders have been hailing the air force exerted by his royal highness the emir of qatar and this mediation was still ongoing but the other axes involved the
