9:02 pm
a half an on the way the democrat controlled house is expected to vote in favor of impeachment that would then lead to a trial in the republican controlled senate early next year well done jump has been tweeting our white house correspondent kimberly halkett will give us more on that shortly but 1st let's go straight to castro who is on capitol hill hi there heidi so discussions are already on the way. as trained today the committee is laying the technical groundwork for tomorrow's full house vote which promises to be a historic one democrats do have the numbers to formally make trumbo only the 3rd u.s. president in history to be impeached by congress and tomorrow's vote will likely impeach him on 2 counts one is for abuse of power the other obstruction of congress both stemming from allegations that trump withheld vital security aide to ukraine
9:03 pm
and denied that president of the country of that country an oval office visit as leverage to get investigations announced against trump's own political rivals in the u.s. democrats again have the numbers to have that vote cast which would formally impeach trump then that kicks off this impeachment to the senate for the trial things and of course the senate is dominated by members of trump's own party the republicans and it would take a 2 thirds majority of those senators to convict the president thus removing him from office. that a trial without witnesses is not a trial it's a rush to judgment it's a sham trial the american people understand that a trial without relevant documents is not a theory try to conceal facts that may well be very relevant if the house is obligation to build an arm pled case. if
9:04 pm
they all lived. it's got this honest job to leap into the breach and search desperately for ways to get the guilty that would hardly be impartial justice and what you heard just heard there was a preview of the arguments between the leader of the democratic and republican parties in the senate they're talking about whether or not to call additional witnesses to the impeachment trial of trump democrats have said they want to hear from trump's innermost circle his top aides who have thus far been silenced by the white house democrats think they may have information on trump's motive which is key here for why he withheld the security aid to ukraine democrats saying that if there's nothing to hide why not allow that information to come forward but as you heard from mitch mcconnell the leader of the republicans he is against that idea and he has said that he is in total coordination with the white house in planning
9:05 pm
these trial rules julie. kester there live with the latest from capitol hill heidi thank you well president trump's taking to twitter in the last few hours and he says i quote impeachment poll numbers are starting to drop like a rock now that people are understanding bits of what this whole democrat scam is all about well let's go live to our white house correspondent kimberly how could in washington d.c. hi there kimberly so does president trump believe the pietschmann process is perhaps strengthening his base. certainly the president makes that case and often it's a case of if you say it enough times it tends to become true or tends to become facts whether or not that is the case and certainly the trend in terms of the poll seems to be working in the president's favor he has since the beginning of this inquiry that has been going on for weeks you have to remember weeks of hearings on capitol hill weeks of very damning testimony at times the public opinion has not changed it
9:06 pm
has really given the margin of error been sort of rock solid the you either for the president or gets removing the president from office and when you look at the national survey and that is what this president is seizing on and this tweet numbers that came out the last 24 hours show that donald trump would win reelection if put up against some of the top democratic rivals the president is really sort of putting this out with a megaphone if you will to make the case that this is a partisan process that he has not been able to defend himself even as the white house has withheld the testimony of some very key members of the trump administration now in the end of all of this many people are wondering you know is this impeachment process even working anymore given the fact democrats say they've amassed all of this evidence the public opinion has not swayed republicans argue that in this impeachment process that the evidence has been selective that it's been partisan highly partisan in
9:07 pm
a way that the founding fathers when they put in place the impeachment process never invision you have to remember too that there are members of the republican senate mitch mcconnell namely who are saying they're working with the white house saying in fact that he is going to coordinate that he many are arguing this is not an impartial juror so in the midst of all of this there's a lot of hand-wringing the president making the case that he's done nothing wrong he expects full defense in the senate but many people questioning if this impeachment still means what it did in the past and whether or not it's really working can but how can they live with the latest from my side the white house kimberly thank you. well form a charm campaign official with gates has been sentenced to 45 days in prison for conspiracy and lying to the f.b.i. the sentence which includes 3 years probation was comparatively light following his cooperation with the mohler investigation into poll man a fort and voyager stone gates was jobs for attempting to hide lucrative consulting work done for the former ukrainian president. pakistan's former president pervez

9:09 pm
all cases related to this case are also wrong because this case should have been filed by the interior secretary with the approval of the cabinet the emergency the pub declared on november 3rd 2007 was done with the advice of the prime minister and with the consultation of everybody. who share a 1st seized power by leading a military coup in 1909 the case against him has been pending for 6 years since his old political rival no washer raef was in power pakistan's army has denounced the death sentence saying jew legal process was ignored analysts believe it could set a legal precedent. is concerned actually he's one of the most popular guys among the rank and file of the pakistani armed forces so they'll be really hearing this verdict partly on this in the market is concerned there will be extremely happy there were parked car get a piece of mr know it was shut up for
9:10 pm
a long drive. and probably they got it this time. this is the 1st time a former president has been handed the death penalty. the court has sentenced to death which is certainly a good step and in accordance with justice but my question is who is going to bring pervez musharraf to pakistan to carry out the sentence who is going to carry out the death sentence 'd while the decision is a significant moment it's unclear what impact it will have on pakistan's political institutions or its leadership. al jazeera. it's been more violence in india's capital over a controversial new citizenship law they say fired tear gas and hit protesters with back to vehicles and shops were damaged during those demonstrations will offer citizenship to persecuted religious minorities from neighboring countries but it excludes muslims so how raman has more now from new delhi. we want freedom the students are jumpier 1000000 i slowly

9:17 pm
a reality that needs to be addressed right now the countries at the forefront are those that are the most impacted and those that experience already large movements of people as a result of climate change and thin air with a few beans about bangladesh about small island states about morocco about a countries in sub-saharan africa and then a number of european countries if stepped up to us is their own thinking of no ways sweden switzerland france germany but clearly there is still are a lot more to be done and we're not yet at a state where there is a kind of global response about this says a dense president salva kiir says he and the main opposition leader we have macha have reaffirmed their desire to form. a team and met over the past 3 days in the capital juba to resolve outstanding disputes to prevent the formation of a coalition government by a previous november 12th deadline in 2013 keys match are attempting sparking

a conflict that left hundreds of thousands dead. it's been $100.00 days since sudan's transitional government was sworn in after months of political turmoil that led to the removal of president bashir the man who took over as prime minister promised to fulfill the promises of the revolution that started last december at the wargamer looks at how the transitional government has fared in its 1st 3 months . when sudan's new cabinet took the ministerial oath $100.00 days ago many hoped it would usher in a new era and months of turmoil. mass protests led to the fall of longtime president i'm going to be here and now civilians are back in charge alongside the former ruling military junta and. what we've achieved in the 1st 3 months isn't much and our people had high expectations but in some issues we've gone while the peace process which is a priority is ongoing it's not on us a long ago but we've started on it seriously we're moving well on the issue of

democratic transformation there is more freedom now whether it's in terms of media freedom or political freedom the government's place to put sedan back on the international stage prime minister abdullah visited several countries including south sudan where he hoped talks could help bring peace to many conflict ridden parts of sudan he's also attempted to get sudan removed of a u.s. list of countries sponsoring terrorism. while the government has been focusing on the regional and international community to support its home challenges are piling up it's a former legislative assembly for the transitional period and just in the last few weeks there's been sporadic fuel shortages a lack of public transport and the economy is still in freefall that's what triggered last year's protests that brought this government to power. the economy is a concern for many inflation continues to rise in a country where more than half of the 14000000 population live below the poverty line. there's no improvement in the economy and are getting more and more expensive
9:20 pm
every day the ministers haven't been focusing on the internal issue of the economy which is hurting us citizens and those who wants chanted for freedom peace and justice feel the government's shortcomings elsewhere. the government has yet to hold to account any member of the former regime to deliver justice for those who have been killed during the demonstrations not just on june 3rd when the military right are certain and front of courses but since the protests started. however the transitional government has disbanded the former ruling party and. its also scraped the public order act which human rights groups targeted to women and street vendors cabinets members were nominated by the forces of freedom and change coalition which led the protest movement against. but some analysts say those chosen are not experienced enough. well that is
9:21 pm
a good when we look at the ministers individually would realize that the performance so far has been quite weak because most of the ministers don't have experience the health situation is worsening with several epidemics the economy is still suffering and the biggest challenge it's facing is the shoe of the deep state members of the former ruling party that are at every level in the government there trying to undo the work of a regime that has been in place for decades and with little experience that may take a long time. after 30 years of bashir is through sudan is undergoing monumental change and it appears that many of the countries challenges will take time to be resolved he will morgan al-jazeera. is least foreign minister luigi demaio is in libya where he's met with warlords. in the east of the country to my also held talks with the leader of libya's u.n. backed government italy has criticized both the government of national accord and turkey for what it describes as their mistaken approach towards the ongoing
9:22 pm
conflict and while there's been a surge in fighting between government forces and those loyal to her u.n. backed government launched artillery attacks against ships have been attempting to take the capital after us forces have been conducting air strikes in a number of areas he had earlier called for a final offensive to take tripoli all this follows the announcement of a mass mobilization in a number of cities opposed to have. and the u.n. secretary general spokesman has weighed in calling on world leaders to support the libyan people. we continue to call for deescalation and for active support by all libyans and international actors and gaged in libya to find a peaceful and political solution to end the conflict and by addressing its underlying causes i think it's important that the international community as a whole rally around the efforts of the libyan people of course and also of the efforts of the secretary general's. representative mr sowerby trying to find
9:23 pm
a political solution when mark went up to wahid is in tripoli and he explains why the move by the u.n. backed government can be seen as a counterattack to the media war waged by have to are on the ground there hasn't been any major change any advancement for neither side of the warring factions or the ground and i think unless those cities send the troops and weapons they vowed to send to the front lines but on the other hand this could be read in terms of the media war the psychological war between the 2 warring factions because this declare ration of mass mobilization by the. cities as a kind of counter attack to have there is a media war in members that have does of forces have been waging a media war to intimidate and test their enemies the latest
9:24 pm
a declaration was on thursday by have to himself declaring the 0 hour encouraging his forces to enter tripoli so this declaration by those cities door for mass mobilization is a kind of counter declaration to also intimidate have to us forces who are now trying to push closer to the city center. it was france and italy vie for influence within libya turkey's already positioned itself as an important ally of the g m a now on monday turkey's parliament rubber stamped a bill which allows libya to request a quick reaction force made up of turkish soldiers should they need it earlier this month libya backed turkey in a maritime border dispute with greek controlled sign press and on sunday turkey relaxed its travel laws allowing libyan passport holders under 18 and over $55.00 to visit without a visa well use of alibaba is a retired turkish colonel and is currently a freelance security analyst at the at the set a foundation for political economic and social research and he joins us now from
9:25 pm
uncle mr al about a very warm welcome to the paul graham in your view what's behind turkey's military pledge to libya or the move behind what stuart is doing now is clearly that turkey supports the united nations backed government you cite libya because turkey has interests with the libya on the name of the maritime deal in between turkey and libya moreover to that 30 has historical close ties with the libyan government for this reason turkey from views to different perspective is the ealing what is going on inside libya with the united nation backed government. 3 polly and mr alibi that once the few within turkish politics as to sending troops should it happen should that request be made to libya does everybody agree that that's the right thing to do. i believe that it will be
9:26 pm
approved in the turkish parliament after it has been approved if the libyan. united nations backed government asks for how. turkey probably the turkish nation a huge amount will support the position of the government now who is ruling inside turkey if the libyan u.n. backed government asks for help probably turkey will send troops in order to core the nato give military consultancy and military training to do gen a government of 3 people in the next coming days and i believe that that we'll change the situation especially around the area of tripoli and i do not think that the turkish military rapid deployment force will control all over the
9:27 pm
libya but probably try to say the united nations backed government inside tripoli against the the warlords highly for half the hour which is being supported decisively by the friends by the united arab emirates by the egypt and by the king the more so there are bia against the united nations does all asian missed all about how likely do you think it is that mr sarraj would actually ask for that help i asked that question because it is a little bit complicated isn't it there is a little bit of tension between uncorrupt and some of its european allies who don't want it to get involved. yeah that's true but also the position of the european union is very complicated because while some of the european union countries including italy is signing off agreements the libyan jna government in
9:28 pm
tripoli in terms of illegal immigration which flows through the europe on the other hand they highly criticize that the legit the missing off the u.n. back government is absolutely not correct and not true so that is a book received that you are signing an agreement when it comes to illegal immigration with the un backed government but when it comes that this government science and maritime deal with the turkey you call it as illegal that is unacceptable this is the 1st issue that europe shouldn't see all kind of the problems inside sure inside libya on the from the narrow perspective of the illegal immigration but when it comes for example to the problem in france as a member of the european union also france clearly supports the war. we can understand it from the vet complex weapon systems be just captured by the
9:29 pm
libyan jenae government belongs to the france government inside the libyan so we can understand that france is actually together be united and i became rates and egypt is supporting the war. against the united nations' resolutions for destroyers and what should be done in the next coming days is very important we'll have a talk with mr putin including the libyan question that should be something like our start up peace process inside syria that should be something like also for a libyan case including russia turkey italy and france and to bring a peace to dolls than to stop all kinds of civil war and conflicts in this area in the general area he said they're joining me live from unclear at this hour about a thank you. still ahead here on al-jazeera.

9:37 pm
party won that a.c.c. majority prime minister will be putting forward a law on friday saying price a negotiation be complete by the end of next year. is following events for us at the house of parliament here in london and so boris johnson clearly determined to show voters in the u.k. that he will carry out his pledge to get breaks it down but how could this impact negotiations with brussels. well mary and with that majority you're referring to bars on the nose that he can now deliver he can in his phrase get breaks it done at least getting taking but an ounce of the by the end of january now in the house of commons on tuesday after his 1st cabinet meeting of his new cabinet he again said on friday the aim is to hold the 1st debate and vote on the withdrawal agreement bill but the new development is that there will be

9:39 pm
everything they can to reach an agreement in the 11 months from the end of john you're up to the end of the extension period that they would certainly not choose a cliff edge solution. but in that scenario basically the agreements would cover goods it would not cover services which is such a large part of britain's economy so there is still a lot of worry for businesses around the country but at the moment boris johnson knows that he's got that majority to at least say we have got bricks it don't work out of the european union unveiled hopefully to take the country forward with it whatever kind of brics emerges thank you very much and with all the latest from westminster. well now the 1st stage of an inquest into the death of a 9 year old girl who died from severe ask a start of care and nandan of course going to look at what role the cities and
