9:03 pm
he has written a letter with essentially the minority parties wish list for these trial rules it's notable that democrats won't get any of these things unless they get at least 3 republican senators to agree with them but at the top of this wish list are subpoenas for 4 witnesses from trump's inner circle who thus far have not been allowed to cooperate with impeachment investigators and democrats are hoping that they will have information that sheds light on the president's motives or when he suspended military aid to ukraine democrats say he did so with the corrupt intention of pressuring ukraine to launch investigations into trump's political rivals and these witnesses do come from trump's inner circle they include the acting white house chief of staff mick mulvaney who ordered that military to be frozen and also the former national security advisor john bolton who has told his

9:18 pm
believe that he just wants to cling on to power they fear also and that some members of his government are leaders of a performer political leaders or close allies too. and although he had promised at the time to change change for the people here and while there has been more political freedom change has been slow to come when it comes to security reforms when it comes to the change of leadership when it comes to basic things like power electricity and water shortages that this country is suffering some of the protests are telling me that the situation is worse than before. there's plenty more ahead on the new souring today i think it was. cracking down on the press a new report on how china is making its presence felt across hong kong's media. rescuers in the southern philippines look for survivors after an earthquake killed at least 4 people. and sport we'll hear from the man keeping football is and fans

cool in costs are. lebanon's president has delayed consultations with political parties that was simple silly to the naming of the new prime minister follows another night of violence where security forces fired tear gas and rubber bullets have protested outside parliament in a hotter has more now from beirut minutes before the constitutional process to form a new government was set to start lebanon's presidency postponed consultations until thursday politicians were to name their choice of prime minister and saddle heidi the caretaker prime minister was supposed to be renamed but he requested the postponement to avoid in his words violating the constitution and preserving unity among the nation sects. it seems the christian participation or vote is the reason why it was delayed the lebanese forces party is refusing to name a prime minister from the political class and the other main christian party the
9:20 pm
free part of the good movement is refusing to name how do you know this is the real problem lebanon's leaders who share power based on a sectarian political system are deeply divided how did he says he wants to head a government free from the influence of political parties and his rivals led by the iranian backed hezbollah who are part of the governing alliance and hold the majority in parliament say they won't give up power that come from or it's hard to teach because every party is sticking to its position and name the ruling or 30. it didn't budge for one single inch and it's true that the prime minister of greece aren't. trying to produce the same. system a change in leadership is what anti-establishment protesters have been demanding for 2 months but the largely peaceful uprising against those who have ruled lebanon
9:21 pm
for 30 years has turned violent in recent days confrontations between unarmed protesters and security forces is raising fears about stability and security political deadlock is not rare in lebanon but there is an urgent need to form a government the country is in turmoil the ruling class is bargaining over power while workers are losing their jobs companies are closing the local currency is losing its value and people do not have access to their money and banks the economy is on the brink of collapse but even international financial assistance is being conditioned to the formation of a government that meets the aspirations of the lebanese people and now the united nations is warning the political impasse creates fertile ground for provocations and political manipulation that can lead to more violence so. beirut well earlier i spoke to carmen political activists an assistant professor of public administration at the american university and she says the violent conflicts in the
9:22 pm
last few days are deliberate attacks from government supporters. we have been facing a counterrevolution from so lebanon doesn't have one dictator it has multiple dictators who have decided after the civil war and love it on 30 years ago to divide power among them and each of them employs a very meticulous media and security a paradise and in order to suppress any demand to overhaul them to change them any demand for basic rights so 1st of all the politicians are not in opposing camps they are in agreement around keeping the system and supporting their own interests and what happened last night was not clashes with that with the police it was an attack on these protesters from policemen that are supposed to be protecting the parliament and from folks that were sent by the march in force as many americans were not aware of the protesters this is what happened last night and that might be for them common is there a feeling that by maintaining peaceful protests that there are still you know
9:23 pm
a unique power in that to hold the well the government as as we hope that will be formed to some sort of the time to keep the pressure on if you like yes of course we don't have an option except to remain peaceful they are the political parties we've been 11 on the last 30 years then project is war destruction poverty and sectarianism they are not political parties nor public officials but if it were to build a project where latrines and they would it floods because they can't even fix the pipelines and the infrastructure we have picked up the garbage in the last 5 years we have the highest cancer rate every family in lebanon has cancer the highest cancer of it in west africa they are more of the structures we are the peaceful protesters our demands are by the pool and we've been extremely united in saying all of the need to go into an independent judiciary an investigation into what they've done the last 30 years were in that konami crisis as as you presented in the introduction to the segment we can't get our money from the banks if greece poverty people have been committing suicide i mean this is not
9:24 pm
a time for them to clean their hands and come back to power this is a time to change them. iraq's president has until the end of thursday to nominate a new prime minister addle abdul mahdi resigned last month but that's done little to competence this demanding a complete overhaul of the sectarian political system the latest demonstrations started in october but there were similar protests last year widespread corruption high unemployment poor public services and a low standard of living are angering millions of people at least $476.00 iraqis have been killed and 20000 injured in 2 months of demonstrations calling for change will smaller fulton is in baghdad and she says protesters there fear the new prime minister will be linked to the regime. the new deadline we are told is now on thursday what is also confusing is which bloc in parliament should actually nominate a new prime minister according to the constitution the president is supposed to ask
9:25 pm
the biggest block in parliament to agree on a candidate now it is unclear which block is actually the largest and this is very peculiar and very typical of iraqi politics because many members of parliament switch allegiances the votes are not public so nobody really ever knows how many seats are controlled by a given party and the president actually sent a letter yesterday to the speaker of parliament asking him to clarify who is the largest bloc now of course this comes very late in this process this is something that has been clear a long time ago but it just highlights how obscure this process is how little transparency there is and this is precisely the reason why many iraqis are asking not for just the new prime minister but for a complete overhaul of the political system it's a very obscure process that is basically the result of backroom dealings by the one name that has come up quite often is the name of mohamed sudan who is a member of the dawa party which is the biggest ruling party that has been in place
9:26 pm
since 2003 and he also held several ministerial posts before so he's very much a considered to be part of the political establishment that's exactly what protesters don't want they want somebody who has not served before somebody who is not beholden to the current political parties who is actually capable of pushing through very controversial reforms and that's definitely not mohamed also that he has already been rejected by the protesters so it remains to be seen whether he is indeed the one who will be nominated but in any case people want a fresh face they don't want anybody who has held an office in the past at least 4 people are dead after a powerful earthquake take the southern philippines on sunday rescuers are searching for survivors after the magnitude 6.9 quake hit the aisle. and i'm in the know jimmy has more now from. this was once a 3 story building take a look at the puts left of it now devastated by a powerful earthquake that struck the province of dubbo those sore in southern
9:27 pm
philippines on sunday afternoon after hours of going through the rubble rescuers have recovered 2 bodies and they remain hopeful there are still survivors in. the earthquake was very very strong and in a matter of seconds we couldn't see much and we were surrounded by dust i was scared i ran as fast as i good government officials are asking for people to stay calm it hasn't been easy people here tell us there have been a series of earthquakes and aftershocks over the last few months thank you ali 20000 people have been displaced since a series of earthquakes struck many areas of the southern ridenhour region in recent months. this is really the best the thing so difficult for us. to strong we try to provide everything that our people leave but it isn't easy we ask
9:28 pm
for prayers people your say they are living a life on edge that's because a relative period of calm is often interrupted by a series of violent earthquakes like this one. these families are to this chance to speak on camera their loved ones are trapped inside and they feel helpless. and as night falls their desperation grows they fear they are losing any chance of finding them alive i just dog and al jazeera but that the double dose soar southern philippines. still ahead here on a game. make a living out of rubbish but now these recyclers in argentina are worried about their future plus. we meet again many entrepreneurs define all odds to keep a colorful ancient tradition alive champions league favorites manchester city as
