dumps on stories we don't take the misinformation from the journalism it's about telling the stories of those human beings i think with the listening post on al-jazeera. today is a solemn and said day. pushing the president to the brink of impeachment a vote by the u.s. house of representatives is now set for next week. hello from doha everyone come all santamaria this is the world news from al-jazeera and as inside china signs a tentative deal to ease the nearly year long trade war with the united states dire conditions meet the syrians struggling after barely escaping the last rebel held province and the anger grows in an indian state over

a controversial citizenship law that excludes muslims. so u.s. house panel has recommended the impeachment of president donald trump it is another crucial step in the process that's divided congress and really the whole nation the full house of representatives is expected to vote in favor of impeachment at some point next week this report is from our white house correspondent kimberly how. another ford visit to the white house overshadowed by domestic politics as the president apparent why sat comfortably in the oval office u.s. president donald trump railed against the democrats pushed to impeach him in congress for his dealings with ukraine's president it's a witch hunt it's a sham it's a hoax nothing was done wrong 0 was done wrong it's a scam it's something that. wouldn't be allowed and it's a very bad thing for

a country and you are trivializing impeachment and i tell you what someday there will be a democrat president and it will be a republican house and i suspect they're going to remember that objection the committee is a journey. but democrats argue trump abused his presidential powers for political gain the house judiciary committee voted to approve 2 articles of impeachment against president trump the vote along party lines allege trump withheld military aid in order to pressure ukraine to dig up dirt on a political rival former vice president joe biden trumps also accused of obstructing congressional oversight into the matter for the 3rd time in a little over a century and a half the house judiciary committee has voted articles of impeachment against the president for abuse of power. and obstruction of congress

a vote to officially of ph trump is expected next week in the house of representatives he'll become just the 3rd president in u.s. history to be impeached trump was visibly angry following approval of the charges against him lashing out at those he believes have done him wrong like the woman overseeing the impeachment house speaker nancy pelosi she is a liar and others a dishonest fake media tolerable f.b.i. people crooked hillary a fighting mood morphing into strategy spotted on the white house campus on friday trucks personal attorney and ally rudolph giuliani it's a signal trump is pushing to call witnesses and expand the impeachment process he says has been politically biased against him even as the republican leader mitch mcconnell is pushing for a swift trial in the senate i think they're giving the signal that this is really just a show trial that senator mcconnell knows where the votes are and knows how this is

going to come out and he wants to have a very short proceeding so that they can move past this quickly but for in a tory asli thinskinned president the personal humiliation of a looming impeachment in the house of representatives appears to have only intensified donald trump's desire to fight back in the u.s. senate in an attempt to clear his name can really help get al jazeera the white house as you heard in that report from would not be the 1st u.s. president to face impeachment you go back to 974 and the house judiciary committee approved 3 charges against richard nixon the key thing is he resigned though before there was a house vote bill clinton he got as far as being tried in the senate in 1981 for articles of impeachment he was acquitted he stayed in office and trump's case as we've heard it's almost certain democrats will vote in favor of triggering this senate trial process but of course it is the republican party of donald trump which . troels the senate they have the 2 thirds majority was sorry

a 2 thirds majority would be needed to remove have an office and that would be unlikely with the republicans in power let's move on to other news and just days before the u.s. china trade war was about to intensify and the 2 economic giants of struck an interim deal the trumpet ministration has called off a new round of tariffs that was due to start on sunday will instead reduce levies in return john has agreed to buy more american farm products and to ease rules on u.s. companies accessing its markets here is katrina you she's an eastern china the city of. which i believe is where a lot of manufacturing happens katrina. that's right where in the you were cities commodities market and here all sorts of products can be found that are sold at wholesale to buyers who come from all over the world including the u.s. and there are 70000 different stalls here selling products in all sorts of categories and these are families who work with different factories and they really

have been in the possible lions. in different degrees on the u.s. market so this trade war since it began has been really bad news for the exporters here and and in this region in general so this phase one deal is something that's been welcomed especially this news that some of the tariffs will start to be rolled back but as it becomes clear that it's still a little vague you don't have any details as to which products are negatively all positively affected so it sort of leaves some of these still is in flux and at the moment because of certainty because of confusion they're still making plans to maybe not focus too much on the u.s. market and not get their hopes too high. a christmas wonderland in southeast china bias from all of the won't come to this market in the festive season decorations. but this year it's not mary bright vendors here is say the

trade with the united states is bad for business. business is noise good as it used to be there are more and more sellers and fewer and fewer buyers i can barely make a living there. 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 delaying extra tariffs on $156000000000.00 worth of chinese products including christmas trees tinsel and 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 a mild as small trade deal but in terms of the stuff really want the us really want china to get rid of the policy are to create a leveling playground for foreign companies this is not going to happen anytime soon to many chinese manufacturers 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 an increase in tyrants and this back to the ice on the american diet survived. late good supplies 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 christmas. what you want to see you know how the person was going to do this year because this is the 1st year christmas with the for the purpose of her. in order to keep going to difficult times this bicycle maker is relocating from production to cambodia and the nation back in many suppliers have already started

moving that focus away from the u.s. towards new markets in the middle east and africa. when to last a few months the chinese exporters expect the children nations between beijing and washington to remain to 90 christmases to come and. so last night when we 1st heard this news from time's promise missing there was a late press conference about 103011 pm local time this was a big headline no positive news they have reached an agreement u.s. and chinese negotiators are coming to the table and it's all very positive now we have some hours later the next day the headlines those certainly coming out of social media quite a bit more sobering i think there is now an understanding that this deal simply means that no the trade war is not over the 2 sides are going to keep on talking it's positive but this is definitely not the end of that there's still

a long way to go before we see any conclusive end if we have it due to the tensions the economic tensions between the u.s. and china it's quite if we ever take katrina a year for me was sitting in eastern china now the taliban is claiming responsibility for an attack in afghanistan the defense ministry says 9 soldiers were killed on friday this is in the district of grozny province several other attacks were also carried out the un mission in afghanistan says 10 civilians were killed in one of them. the bombardment of edward province by syrian army artillery and russian air strikes is causing a massive displacement of people syrians who fled their homes in the last remaining rebel held area described the offensive as indiscriminate with shells hitting homes and hospitals as this story. on his family fled aleppo which was serious largest city and commercial capital 6 years ago now they've been forced purse cape again this time from the province syria's last remaining stronghold is
