al-jazeera. every. 0. hello i'm maryam namazie this is the news hour live from london coming up in the next 60 minutes a day is a solemn. day. the house repairs from historic impeachment vote on donald trump next week after backing 2 charges against the u.s. president. it's a scam it's something that shouldn't be allowed. the u.s. and china agree to hold off on new tariffs and avoid escalating the trade war and

now. i urge everyone to find closure and to let the healing begin after the divisions overbright said boris johnson promises a one nation government following his historic election victory. and thousands of algerians take to the streets to protest against the victory of former prime minister abdul majeed taboo and their presidential election. be disturbing though with all your support tiger woods and his u.s. team for it back to gold's president's cup but begin to nurture and still hold a healthy lead. very welcome to the program our top story u.s. president donald trump has moved one step closer to being impeached the house of representatives judiciary committee has voted to approve 2 charges of abuse of

power and obstruction of congress against the president he is accused of putting pressure on ukraine's leader to investigate trump's political rival democrat joe biden these charges will be voted on and likely approved by the democrat controlled house next week ahead of a full trial to take place in the senate. the house judiciary committee has voted articles of impeachment against the president for abuse of power and obstruction of congress the house will act expeditiously so what's likely to happen next well the 2 articles of impeachment stay in the house of representatives for now but will go to a vote of all the members next week if that vote is successful a trial presided over by the chief justice of the us supreme court is then taken to the senate a 2 thirds majority is needed in the 100 member senate to convict and remove

a president the republican majority in the current senate are expected to reject impeachment historically impeachments are rare out of 35 attempts only 2 presidents bill clinton and andrew johnson have been actually impeached and neither removed from office of president richard nixon resigned while proceedings was still under way well i want house correspondent joins us now so clearly a historic move today tell us a bit more about the proceedings and the debate. yeah proceedings a debate pretty contentious but expected as we thought it would be in terms of the vote right along party lines and it will be a similar or similar result we expect when that finally moves to the house of representatives what we do know is in the midst of all of this it is a historic day and it was one that the u.s. president was watching and taking very seriously in fact many would say that he

interpreted this is a stain on his presidency even as he is pushed back from these proceedings calling it a sham a hoax in fact it overshadowed a foreign visit of yet another leader here at the white house the leader apparent why he sat noticeably and comfortably next to u.s. president as donald trump railed against his critics in the house of representatives namely the democrats that control that body calling the process a sham and also warning to future presidents that this process could be weaponized in the future it's a witch hunt it's a sham it's a hoax nothing was done wrong 0 was done wrong i think it's a horrible thing to be using the tool of impeachment which is supposed to be used in an emergency and it would seem many many many years apart to be using this for a perfect phone call where the president of that country said there was no pressure

whatsoever didn't even know what we were talking about it was perfect the relationship is perfect i've done much more for them than obama did for them it's a scam it's something that shouldn't be allowed. so these impeachment charges are being brought by the house of representatives can be but we know that he is that trump is essentially likely to be acquitted when the process moves into the senate so at the end of the day how much of a problem is all this for donald trump. well it is a problem because it is a stain that you know the old saying goes if you throw enough mud some of it will stick and that certainly has been the case for us president donald trump well he maintains no wrongdoing certainly the charges from the beginning have been very severe there finch charges of bribery of extortion of collusion none of those ended up in the articles of impeachment but this is a president who is notoriously thin skinned feels the need to defend his name so what we expect is a bit of an internal debate that's going on right now between the white house and

republicans that control that senate body the u.s. president wants to have a long drawn out trial where he can call witnesses introduce evidence in fact even as of today the u.s. president's one of his top allies rudolph giuliani himself in broiled in the ukraine impeachment inquiry in terms of accusations he was conducting chater diplomacy here in the white house campus he is has recently returned we are told by white house staff from a visit to ukraine where he has uncovered new evidence evidence presumably that the president wants to introduce in the head it is where it is again republican controlled something he says he didn't have the option to do when the process was controlled by democrats in the house of representatives but this is getting an o. nervous amount of pushback from the republicans in the u.s. senate in fact the top republican senate leader mitch mcconnell is saying no we don't want a long arm drop trial we want to very short trial i understand the need for the president to clear his name we will do that and it will be done quickly so that we

can return to the process of really working for the american people but that for this president a reality t.v. show president doesn't seem to be sitting well at the moment thanks very much for the latest from the white house can bully how can it. well all sin evers is the founder and executive director at american oversight a nonpartisan nonprofit ethics watched joins me now from washington and i start by asking you what a trial in the senate of the u.s. president might look like well the trial would be essentially the senate sitting as the jury listens to evidence from members of the house presenting what we learned over the last few weeks of impeachment inquiry and then the president's own lawyers represent the case in his defense what's up in the air with the president and mitch mcconnell are debating in the news essentially is whether to call additional witnesses to present evidence in real time there are people who have never testified like the president's chief of staff for example who could be

called before the senate trial. right and so how is the president likely to approach the senate trial then because i think so far they the white house has made the decision not to send any lawyers to participate in the proceedings in the hearing so far which is different from nixon and clinton and how they handle the situation it's very different indeed and it's in keeping with the president's total disdain for the congressional inquiry and in fact our constitutional system of checks and balances he doesn't respect the impeachment power or even congress's authority to ask questions of him but if you look at him today saying he wants a long drawn out trial with lots of evidence i think he's bluffing he also bragged that he was looking forward to talking to special counsel bob muller and ultimately hid behind his lawyers and refused to do that so i've a feeling at the end of the day senate majority leader mitch mcconnell and the

president's old own warrior will advise him to hide behind the partisan balance of the senate limit the amount of evidence that's presented to the american people and ultimately count on an acquittal based on partisan rationale not the evidence. right and you think the republican party will stick to that strategy that they will manage to avoid any sort of division or will there be some republicans that want to investigate this some more and will want to hear from some witnesses it's really too early to say i certainly hope that every member of the senate regardless of party will refer back to the oath they took when they took their office to uphold and defend the constitution and i think that includes taking an impeachment inquiry or referral and a trial very very seriously if there's evidence that they think they need to make a decision they should ask for it but i will also point out that the impeachment inquiry itself would be bipartisan had the republican party not excommunicated the

1st republican in the house who raise concerns about the president the signal is very clear if you're a republican if you break even a little bit you will be called a republican anymore. thanks very much for putting that into some perspective for us austin evans joining us there from american of the site. because the other big story from washington today the trade war between the united states and china has eased a bit with a new agreement just before another set of tires was due to kick in so for chinese trade is a little hope that they might be able to make the most of the upcoming christmas season ask a trainee reports from. a christmas want to land in southeast china bias from all over the world come to this market eager city the festive season decorations. but this year it's not merry bright they did hear you say the trade with the united states is bad for business and i think. business is not as

good as it used to be there are more and more sellers and fewer and fewer buy is i can barely make a living no. but christmas has arrived early for these suppliers with chinese and u.s. negotiators announcing they will sign what's called a phase one deal soon delayed extra tariffs on $156000000000.00 worth of chinese products including christmas trees tinsel in a range of other goods however our wrists want any agreement is only a temporary truce not an end to the trade war they might be able to reach out is small trade deal but in terms of the stuff both sides really want the u.s. really want china to get rid of in this drug policy are to create a leveling playground for foreign companies this is not going to happen anytime soon to many chinese manufacturer is expected agreement is likely to be too little too late extra duties imposed earlier this year some as high as 25 percent have

already forced many factories to scale down production and fire stuff these workers have been on edge since the trade war began and with good reason the bicycle industry is one of the worst affected by the increase in tariffs and this back to the ice on the narrative by is seen by. lay goods supplied bicycles to major u.s. retailers including wal-mart and says a rise in tires has caused sales to drop by about 20 percent we are soul. this person must stills if you want to see how the person was one of the others here because this is a 1st year for christmas was that for the fibers are. in order to keep going during difficult times this bicycle make it is relocating some production to cambodia and then asia it's back in many suppliers have already started moving their focus away

from the u.s. towards new markets in the middle east and africa. lasts a few months but chinese exporters expect the children between beijing and washington to remain for many christmases to come. to training al-jazeera in when china. there is much more still ahead on this news hour from london we look at protests which are spreading against india's controversial citizenship law which the un has called discriminatory. unlawful killings torture and sexual violence and is in chile are accused of serious abuses against anti-government protesters. and the wayne rooney gets down to work in his new role at darby. well u.k. prime minister barak's johnson says it's time to let the healing began after a stunning victory in a divisive general election dominated by bracks at johnson's conservatives won

a majority of 80 seats the party's biggest for 30 years and a clear mandate to take the u.k. out of the european union main opposition labor party last dozens of seats jeremy corbyn says he'll stand down but only wants a success has been chosen the leader of the liberal democrats joe swenson has already resigned after she lost her seat as an m.p. it was one of many that went to the scottish national party feeling leader nicholas sturgeon's hopes that she could get another referendum on scotland break away from the u.k. charlie angela reports. boris johnson is welcomed to downing street. after the conservatives radically reconfigured britain's political mark to their biggest majority since 1000 into the 2nd my bride to say that members of our new one nation government a people's government will sit tight from constituencies that have never returned a conservative m.p. for a 100 years and yes they will have

a will we mandate from this election to get done and we will honor that mandate by general the 31st striking a more grateful note johnson thanked labor voters for swapping sides his promise now to embrace all deliberate rex's i say thank you for the trust you've placed in us and in me. and we will work round the clock to repay your trust and to deliver on your priorities with a parliament that works for you i but a group of young protesters gathered near downing street projecting its vision and briefly clashing with the pay was hanging by the outcome in which the conservative party took dozens of labor seats in the country's industrial north and midlands big thank you very much for the labor leader jeremy corbyn it's a rejection of his vision for the party and he says he will not stand in another

general election i did everything i possibly could in order to bridge the divide between those that voted to leave and those that voted remain because at the end of the day they're going to live in a country where we're going to need that investment for the future we're going to have if this government stays in office more homelessness more divisions and more a bigger gap between the richest and the poorest it was a bad result too for the pro remain liberal democrats their leader jo swinson unseated her constituency says she will step down immediately i'm proud that liberal democrats have been the unapologetic voice of remain in this election giving people the chance to choose to stop breaks that. obviously it hasn't worked for boris johnson his brief time in office has been marked by repeated defeat of parliament legal interventions and desertions from his own party this result is

better than he could have hoped for but his simplistic election promise to get bricks it done will now be put to the test with your post and lead the country through the most momentous transition since the 2nd world war charlie and to al-jazeera in london. where european union leaders have been keeping a very close eye on of course the developments here it has dominated discussions on day 2 of the e.u. summit in brussels and brings us more now from the reaction in the belgian capital there was a huge sense of relief in brussels as e.u. leaders arrive for the last day of this summit that finally there was clarity over what the u.k. wants after months of uncertainty all agreed that what was needed now was to get on with brakes it next steps is stratified that would draw agreement which guarantees no hard border between north and south guarantees to protection the common travel area and also the fact that british and irish citizens rights will be protected around the election by telling everybody that he wants to deliver so now it's time

for delivery. leaders discuss the u.k. election results in a special session if the u.k. parliament ratifies a withdrawal agreement britain could leave the e.u. on january 31st paving the way for a new round of negotiations between the e.u. and u.k. to reach a free trade agreement the use brigs a negotiated michaud banja would direct the talks boris johnson says that he wants a u.k. trade deal with the e.u. by the end of 2020 plus some e.u. fishel say that timetable is simply unrealistic and such an agreement could take years the timeframe ahead of us is very challenging. we will get to have to work as soon as possible. we will be ready to get the most out of a short period of a level but for me it is important at this moment to say that the united kingdom yes will become

a 3rd country but at the very end we will have an unprecedented partnership. it's been a while since leaders have been upbeat about the blocs relationship with the u.k. but the positive mood could be short lived if johnson asks for an extension to the trade negotiation talks could drag on for years taking up more you time if johnson refuses an extension and fails to reach a trade deal by the end of 2020 it could lead to a no deal brigs it an outcome that would be a failure for the e.u. after years of diplomatic effort natasha butler al-jazeera brussels well i understand and has been following developments for us from outside number 10 downing street of prime minister's official residence and boris johnson has been speaking as we are hearing now about a nation going through a process of healing now but there have been some protests in central london tonight. yes a few hours but

a number of demonstrators about 2 to 300 all marched along parliament street and came to the white hall and confronted police who basically barring their way from getting to the senate staff there were 2 separate rounds of trouble effectively the police dealt with it in a fairly. organized fashion but as a very heavy police presence involved and they did draw battens at one stage it was a fairly intensive few minutes particularly on the approach to the senate staff not far from downing street however it was all over and done within a couple of hours metropolitan police saying that they allowed the demonstrators to go around the parliament square area and then it dispersed the day had been. highlighted really with with the traditional approach the queen for or is johnson a government permission given to form

a government and he had some time talking to the queen it's highly expected that he was discussing unity because this level of of split the country so colossal with this historic occasion with a victory tory victory this is really quite colossal bigger than the 1907 the thatcher success in 187 going right back to those thatcherite years that's a very big victory and now he did then come here to downing street after that visit to buckingham palace and made this really different style of announcement in which he held out an olive branch to the remain as handy here sure all those labor voters who would switch sides to back him that he could be trusted can he be trusted well

that will be seen in the months to come and the action starts in westminster next week. all right thanks very much anderson is bringing us all the latest from downing street so for more on the story you can speak to journalists rachel shelby she chairs with me here in the studio so as andrew was saying there a resoundingly victory for boris johnson majority for the conservatives. were you at all surprised by by the scale of his win given that boris johnson remains a very divisive figure in the country yes it was very surprising it was very surprising to the labor party of the asli who thought the vote would hold up i don't think anybody was necessarily talking about a labor when but there was as much as it was a very unpredictable and the parameters were very wide from a big defeat to potentially a hungover moment but i hope parliament excuse me but i suspect that watching all

those seats that were labor seats the solong some of them of only ever been labor seats watching them all fall was a big shock to many stephanie transform the political landscape and change the electoral map in the country hasn't it and now that it's all but certain the u.k. will leave the e.u. at least formally at the end of january what does it mean for the other side of the argument those passionate remain as voters that wanted to reverse bracks it does it does it mean that at some point they have to say the fight is over. i think it would yeah i think it is time for people to say bricks that one leaves one we are now leaving the e.u. . but i do think that question of division is a good one and it's one that's going to last boris johnson has to be said ran a divisive campaign it was extremely divisive he only really appealed to one

part of the population and that's the part that wanted breaks it you know and of course 48 percent at least did not so what happens to the country next is really very much dependent on what sort of tone he sets as well as the kind of breaks that that is delivered because that kind of configuration between lever main across the country regardless of the vote today or yesterday would suggest a much softer form of exit in the e.u. than certainly boris yeltsin has his party have been pursuing for the last few years so in some ways we could see a softer bracks it because he has the mandate within parliament to be able to not cast aside but not have to rely on that hard line wing of his party that wanted it that were prepared for a no deal breaks it well that's right but the thing with boris johnson is that it's

impossible to tell because he he's not consistent and he doesn't have a reputation for honesty either so there's actually no way of knowing he's an ideological he's not ideological about brecht city i think he's very opportunistic about breaks it and certainly it paid off. but it's not clear whether the very prejudice sort of bigotry and liberalism that he's been talking about for the last year and at a heightened pace during the campaign is actually the path that he wants to pursue you know big challenge of him now getting into that not just going on slogans let's get down but really get getting into the detail negotiation. of blacks it the other big challenge he was saying today let's do this together with scotland northern ireland wales england how is he going to have now to deal with a union that is coming under increasing strain as nicholas sturgeon calls for another independence referendum in scotland well it certainly looks like that doesn't it i mean the map couldn't be clearer when you look at the different

nations of the united kingdom they all voted in quite distinct blocks certainly scotland does not want to leave the european union interestingly is reconfigured ireland and northern ireland as well northern ireland has not returned union a unionist majority for the 1st time in a while that is deeply significant for the island of ireland and what happens next so it does look as though breaks it has got ramifications for the united kingdom as much as it does for the for britain's place within the e.u. or out of the broader range of shabby thank you thanks. well now we go to political developments in algeria where the former prime minister abdul majeed taboo has been declared the winner of thursday's presidential election the new spot protest by tens of thousands of people across the country as a result just means the old regime remains in place nicolas cage reports. it was an election the majority of algerians didn't want him to now come it seems

rejected by many. tens of thousands rallied across the country is the results of the presidential election were announced i didn't measure it but did to boehner see just over $4900000.00 votes achieving a total of 58.15 percent of the vote this. abdel majid tbone is a former prime minister of algeria both men who held that position before and after him were found guilty of corruption he served during the 20 year rule of president adel is beautifully clear who resigned in the face of mass demonstrations in i am of course you know you are born with the notion of he does not represent us neither do the other 4 candidates we said no to elections with all those who are part of the former regime i do not agree with what is happening there with. i stretched my hand to the protesters to begin

a serious dialogue for algeria i thank the protesters as they have helped to bring democracy to the country. with less than 40 percent of the $24000000.00 eligible voters turning out and millions describing the election as a sham the new leader will likely have a difficult job ahead of him one thing remains sure to one that is not going to have any concrete any real let's really legitimacy and this we would him and there are a lot of fresh air mr ragab people who had been escaping get in their demands and asking for more and more and pressure and their community to reach brought him to. the military backed interim government was hoping the outcome would end months of protests demonstrators demanded widespread political reform with non insight so far they're unlikely to accept the election results gauge al jazeera.

more still ahead for you on the news hour what made this scottish politician so happy and why it could assist had dreamed of and now the referendum on independence for scott. as climate change talks struggle to conclude we meet a man continuing his father's wife to examine the scale of the pollution problem. and why pakistan's 1st home test in a decade is now starting to find peace a life story and sport. how the weather remains very wet and windy across many parts of europe that loss of time to gripe down towards the southeast with a sort of that it's friday night over the next couple of days we say it's a very live eat out pole some heavy showers rattling their way through western parts as well as was the same in the northeast of spain yesterday where we had

winds touching 144. there has been some significant damage here says as the past year said to the northeast they love the show as they will continue to rattle away in just around the bay of biscay a little clearer a little draw down towards a spade and portugal but cloth and ready to fire way further north 9 celsius there in london 10 degrees in paris some wet weather some snow that over the irish mountains and possibly some snow too over the scottish mountains basin pieces of snow sinking the way for the south what's nice is turning to rain as it pushes down towards the southeast as we go on through sunday there we go some showers around the eastern side of the med pushing up into your crane up into that western side of russia still looking rather unsettled more wet and windy weather piling in rattling in across the northwest of here a further south is generally dry across northern parts of africa i wanted to those showers around the central and eastern parts of the med we just great the way it was more than piles of libya and egypt.

everything thank you for talking to al-jazeera the brave programs to inspire you on al-jazeera. welcome back you're with the news hour live from london on headlines to impeachment charges of abuse of power and obstruction of congress against the u.s. president donald trump have been approved by a house of representatives committee has responded calling it a sham there's been a slight easing in the trade wall between the united states and china with some tariffs being cut and more tariffs being counseled by president trump in return for china but just in farm goods. boris johnson is saying it's time for britain to

start healing the brics it divided after he was returned as prime minister the opposition leader jeremy corbyn says he'll stand down after the labor party lost seats. boris johnson's mandate to leave the e.u. is also reignited the possibility of scotland leaving the u.k. the pro independent scottish not scottish national party made huge gains in the lead and now says boris johnson has no right to block another referendum majority of people in scotland voted to stay in the e.u. from the scottish capital edinburgh reports. she's almost certainly the most popular politician north of the border now scottish nationalist party leader nicolas sturgeon is calling on those junction to grant scotland a referendum. on breaking away from the. so to the prime minister let me be very clear this is not simply a demand that i or the s.n.p. are making it is the rate of the people of scotland and you as the leader of

a defeated party in scotland have no right to stand in the we. are still g.'s reaction is the s.n.p. took the seat of joseph wilson the liberal democrat leader with 48 of scotland's 59 seats in the westminster parliament they say the message to london could have been clearer. but in the scottish capital already home to the devolved parliament not everyone agrees that another independence vote is now more likely. under left. so. i think you're i think you quite honestly start punishing scotland as m.p. because referendum hopefully happens this time and. when scotland held a public vote on independence 5 years ago the result was a clear no but in 20 sixteen's breaks it referendum 62 percent of scottish votes were for remain within the deal breaks it at the end of next year is still a possibility the s.n.p. says it's fighting to protect scotland's economic interests she says she's got

a clear mandate for a fresh independence referendum and nicolas sturgeon's determined to make the most of her moment but just how much leverage will she have over boris johnson this expert says while in the short term little will change the direction of travel is clear the certainty would come after the scottish parliament elections and 2021 will be really difficult for a u.k. government to continue insists a new referendum but i think it does show is a stark difference between scotland and england so boris johnson's conservative party lost m.p.'s in scotland but gained them in england and i think it just highlights that stark difference between the political directions in 2 countries are going in. these are troubled times for the united kingdom we still don't know how close a relationship it will have with the european union scottish nationalists are hoping that some certainty we played today as they didn't bother al-jazeera edible . now in the news we're following the united nations as one that india's new citizenship lore is fundamentally discriminatory by excluding muslims and are

calling for it to be reviewed meanwhile hundreds of university students have clashed with police in india's capital over kind of a contentious bill scores of demonstrators were dispersed by take gas and police charging them with battens legislation offers a way to citizenship for 6 minority religious groups from neighboring countries but critics say it's anti muslim and violates endy a secular constitution. japan's prime minister's plans to travel to the states of some in northeast india for a summit with his indian counterpart are under modi following violent protests there as well at least 2 people have been killed in the ongoing demonstrations and now reports. yesterday this entire area was full of war logs and burned word litter on everywhere but today because back on the streets some shops have also opened pharmacies open and people are queuing outside fuel stations hoping that fuel stays in the open up to do and they will be able to pull up there we go to the authorities have eased the curfew in go on to the capital of assam for

a few hour was in the morning but the border situation in the state he didn't used to be dense. nobody really knows how things are actually going to pan out security officials are still present on the streets here in the city in large numbers and a students' union has also called for a protest a hunger strike of the. movement against the citizenship amendment act. they would just accept any more refugees because the assamese already in a minority in the state of. the united nations is accused of committing a number of serious human rights violations in its attempts to quash anti-government protests unlawful killings and torture was cited among examples of excessive force which investigators said should be prosecuted. the report says more than 300 people had suffered eye injuries after being hit by lead pellets along with 26 deaths on thursday the lower house of parliament rejected

a move to impeach president sebastian pinera a latin america to see him and brings us more from santiago and the response from the police to the u.n. investigation. this demonstration from the presidential palace track tested against a shocking number of chileans who have been shot in the eyes in many cases blinded by riot police hit either by rubber pellets or by tear gas canisters and that is just run of the charges that you've been quoted in the latest human rights report issued by the united nations the charges include rape sexual abuse illegal detention structure little list especially of excessive use of force by the riot police. the report they are putting on a presentation that says that their eyes will be the eyes of those who can no longer see. a. bright policeman shot at me by pellet

gun directly at a face or short range burst open my left eye that i am struggling for a cup of my life my mother might take care of his blind and now we only have one good eye between the 2 of us this is the 3rd human rights report against chile in less than one month this time the government was prepared just for the un report was released the director of the police announced the 4 police generals including the head of special forces and could a public order or cop was appalled here we're being led to go into early retirement they've announced a total restructuring of special forces new training new water cannons and tear gas trucks and now even a new name for the special forces. team believes that the problem here is of the leadership and even active members of the police force and retired generals are saying that the time is well overdue to replace general mind your own house however

the president is refusing to do it. all now to iraq where police have issued arrest warrants after a teenager was killed and his body hung from traffic lights in the center of baghdad more than 400 people have been killed in anti-government protests since october but this time but this time the violence has been condemned as particularly heinous simona fulton reports on this now from baghdad. it was a gruesome development in iraq's mostly peaceful anti-government protests a mob killed 17 year old math and then hung his body from a traffic light in baghdad as hundreds of people as well as security forces stood by the circumstances of thursday's killing remain unclear demonstrators accuse the teenager of shooting at them but a military spokesman said he didn't harm anyone neighbors say he simply wanted to protect his house from encroaching crowds. i think. he is the son of the neighborhood i've known him since childhood when i heard his name i was

surprised he's just a child how can they accuse him of. some protesters blame the killing on infiltrators refusing to accept the possibility that other demonstrators could be capable of such violence and that's what i mean i think. it has affected us it has brought a bad reputation upon us we went to protest peacefully we would never kill and slaughter anyone like that is the parties who sent infiltrators. on friday crowds in baghdad to hear square which has been the epicenter of months of anti-government demonstrations or noticeably except for members of the sudras movement. the followers of shia cleric make that assad or have discreetly manage security throughout the demonstrations but in an unusually public show of force they marched on tahrir square to make their position known that they're not here we are human shield to protect peaceful demonstrators and refused to describe. we expect those

criminals who commit today's awful crime to be punished and we are waiting for the other so those lewdness. a ministry of interior spokesman told al jazeera that an investigation is ongoing to arrest warrants have been issued so far no one's been detained thursday's brutal killing here in square is unprecedented and it's signal something broader observers say it's a dangerous sign of growing acceptance of violence and the breakdown of the state's seem awful to al-jazeera but the. european union mission in libya has denied reports in the saudi media that it's about to evacuate tripoli by sea out of the latest offensive by after they have been renewed clashes between have to us forces and those of the u.n. backed government at tripoli airport just 25 kilometers south of the city after supports a rival government based in eastern libya and has been attempting to capture

tripoli since april there is still relative calm in tripoli itself though despite the when you fighting on the outskirts as head reports. live looks normal in the city center of the libyan capital tripoli despite the consequences of the war and all threats made by the warlord khalifa haftar calling on his forces to enter the capital city center and to launch the last incursion to seize tripoli but this too ation is different only 25 kilometers away from this spot where i'm standing now on the southern outskirts of tripoli that have been heavy fighting between have to his forces and others loyal to the u.n. or acknowledged government of national accord have sort of speech calling on his forces to enter tripoli announcing the 0 hour has been underestimated by many people here in the worst of libya including military commanders with the

government and also there and backed prime minister faisal rush who said that after the speech is only lies and delusions many commanders with the government here say that have to speech is only meant to boast his forces moraz and also could be a message to the sleeper cells who are opponent of the government here in tripoli to rise against the government they haven't been major advancement on the ground until at least until the hour of reporting this or recording this report but. that has been fear among civilians because we know that the war has taken a toll on civilians over the past 9 months since the beginning of the fighting since have those forces launched at this military offensive to seize tripoli back in april hundreds of civilians have been killed and wanted over 130000 people have

been forced out of their homes but generally in the city center here people try to live normally despite all the odds and all the consequences of the war. international aid agency action against hunger says an armed group that kidnapped humanitarian workers in nigeria's north east claims it has killed 4 hostages the group was abducted in july near the town of. groups including boko operate action against hunger is has called for the release of the remaining hostages well now to climate change talks the un's cop $25.00 conference was due to end in madrid delegates are still a long way from agreement talks are now expected to continue for a couple of days scientists and government representatives of spent 2 weeks working on how they'll achieve greenhouse gas targets agreed at the paris summit 4 years ago environment editor nick clark is in madrid. it should be the final day but it's

almost certainly not going to be the final days like to spread into the week and i just read in the press conference with the africa saying there are too many red lines is too much concern here this is going to go on and on let's get straight to pressure move these conferences jennifer morgan from greenpeace and work sewer system to the stage where i think we still have a situation where the governments here are not listening actually to what the scientists are telling them what their people are telling them there's a text on the table that just does not show the urgency that people are facing and the situation of the world right so we got some of the big of the big developed nations we've kind of stepped back from the parents agree with it right well everybody is still in but what you're seeing is countries like saudi arabia countries like brazil well and certainly developed countries like the u.s. and australia are here trying to pull things back so the small island nations the africans who is very existence depends on this are angry they are getting

a bit they are desperate and away so in the final hours we just have to get the european union and them to work together to push back these fossil fuel interests ok we've seen some progress on that we just mentioned in the program just know how hopeful are you that that's going to inspire and wishing him well i i am hopeful that the european union will come in and drive things i'm less hopeful that this process is yet able to really respond to what people are calling for it's too captured by fossil fuel interests there's not enough access and discussion here so it needs to throw that lifeline out to the youth of the world that says we're hearing you and thus far they seem pretty deaf and finally this is all about ambition for 2025 next year when this conference goes to absolutely countries here need to commit that they are going to come back go to glasgow increased action that's consistent with the science with 1.5 degrees and that they're going to

transform things that we need a systems change that people can trust not a carbon pollution cop. well our understanding of carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere wouldn't be possible without a scientist called charles keeling he began want to level 60 as a guy finding the 1st evidence of the climate was being affected by manmade pollution he died 14 years ago but his son ralph has taken over his watch. my father came to scripps i think 956 with the task of measuring carbon dioxide different places around the world you 958 he was getting readings of around 310 parts per 1000000 now we're up at. almost $415.00 parts per $1000410.00 or more. so it's really it's just really rocketing up the main operation in my lab as in my father's lab involved sending flasks these are the last 3 years out into the field that are filled with an air sample and sent back and then we analyze it in the lab

it established as a matter of fact that humans were impacting the planet at a global scale model or record in particular has become known as the keeling curve was already clear in the fifty's in the sixty's in the seventy's the core problem is the burning fossil fuels we're burning more and more decade by decade it's not like we understand this problem has started to curtail it's like you've got a weight problem in your response is to eat more and more you have to go back millions of years before you find levels as high as today and that was a world with a very different climate. i think what's really changed in the last decade in particular is people starting to feel the weirdness of the climate around in terms of freak weather and crop failures and so it's lost some of its remoteness it's starting to creep into people's lives i think it's going to get kind of rough to be honest and i don't see how we get around this without serious consequences and the sooner we understand what we're facing and started dropping to it and reducing the
