delorean 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 the efforts of the secretary general's. representative mr sowerby tried to find a political solution well this comes as its least foreign minister which he demaio is in libya but he's been meeting with people on both sides of the conflict the mile talks with the world who leave after in the eastern city of rajma earlier he also met fires a seraj the leader of libya's u.n. backed government in tripoli italy has criticized both the tripoli government of national accord and turkey for what it describes as that mistaken approach to the ongoing conflict. well there's also been a surge in fighting inside libya specifically on the outskirts of tripoli between government forces and then those fighters loyal to her after the un backed government launched artillery attacks against have to us troops have been trying to take the capital since april after us forces have been conducting as strikes last

tripoli against half of his forces is interpreted as a kind of media war to counter have to the media war it also shows that these cities are insisting or trying to show that the are insisting on continuing the battle to defend the capital tripoli against have to force an aggression but again this depends on sending more troops sending this depends on making change on the ground until this moment there hasn't been any major advancement on the ground neither one of the warring factions has been able to achieve a substantial progress on the ground despite heavy fighting that continued on tuesday with the heavy artillery is on both sides we have been also getting good reports from military sources with the government of national called. confirming 2

his name the court case that hands him a death sentence involves a decision he made back in 2007 as president of pakistan he imposed a state of emergency and suspended the constitution saying he needed to fight what he called rising is the most extremism he also fired the chief justice of the supreme court which led to nationwide protests prompting his resignation a year later since then he's been living into by musharraf has maintained that he wasn't given a fair hearing in islamabad his lawyer says the sheriff's decision to suspend the constitution was in the interest of the country there's going to 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 public declared on november 3rd 2007 was done with the advice of the prime minister and with the consultation of everybody. bush our 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 here in this war to be honest and the market is concerned they'll be extremely happy they were parked our go get a piece of. machinery for a long time. and probably they got it this time this is the 1st time a former president or army chief has been handed the death penalty. a court is sentenced to death which is certainly a good step and in accordance with justice but my question is who's going to bring

purpose. to pakistan to carry out the sentence who is going to carry out the death sentence while the decision is a significant moment it's unclear what impact it will have on pakistan's political institutions or its leadership mohammed al jazeera well earlier i spoke to marian malik adams secretary general of the all pakistan muslim league she told me that the musharraf trial is unconstitutional. into the arithmetic error which is without. its vote 1st. evil. which is is what it is a constitution. it try. him

without. india's prime minister is again defended his controversial new citizenship will the response protests across the country render modi says his political rivals have created what he described as an atmosphere of lies to scare indian muslims but them off a citizen's ship to persecute a religious minorities from neighboring countries and the measure excludes muslims so rahman explains now from new delhi. it was we want freedom the students are job slowly a university in new delhi and making their voices heard their mood is upbeat and support for them is growing was many a muslim and everyone here is against the citizenship amendment act passed last thursday they say it discriminates against millions of people from minorities across india especially muslims. on sunday fighting broke out between civilians and police who started it is disputed. video showing police dragging

out students and beating them have gone viral dozens were injured students say it supports their accusations that they were specifically targeted. on choose day lawyers representing the students and civil society took their allegations to india supreme court the chief justice ruled that there were so many complaints on such a wide issue the high court's an individual state should hear them while students marshal traffic past grain crowds on the other side of the capitol police were firing tear gas at protesters several were reportedly injured. students here say the prime minister is falsely accusing them of being involved in the violence actually a lot of people from the look at it it came and become a combined with us mix with the other guy mr and actually they hijacked the whole protest of demolition i'm a student and then they've been to what the police and everything i've been up to down. there certainly noisy but there was see there are so charming university the

situation is very different compared to what happened on sunday there's certainly no police around but a lot of students and civil society groups here supporting the whole community but of course things like this are being replicated across india and it seems like this is a bringing more war people out onto the streets. as people gathered not far away riot police stood ready to lose. opposition leaders have also criticised the police. said. the government has a text by interim university so we will fight for the constitution of india we've said it time and time again that we will fight against the government. 6 but protests like these are look likely to continue large demonstrations are being plotted states opposed to the government of the citizens abroad but. people from across the political divide are telling prime minister the red robertie that this

a warm day in hobart as well of those a fair amount of cloud around perth a 34 on wednesday the temperatures has should begin to come down so by thursday feeling a lot better 26 is the expected high temperature but elsewhere you can see that he's still on in adelaide and also look at that a very warm day in sydney 39 degrees remember 38 is 100 degrees fahrenheit but it does cool off somewhat m. album but a warm day as well across into hobart not as warm as ass across into python's of new zealand we had 4 calls into christ church not cold though really in both cases and certainly on thursday should be a better day across into autumn of the 20 and to mostly clear skies i'm going to make the weather conditions into the northeast of asia so across in japan 1st of all we've got a cloudy day so that you know wednesday not cold though again 16 degrees in tokyo this system is working its way eastward so it'll be clear about cold in tokyo on thursday with the high the a 10 celsius. after

years of overgrazing the damage caused to the precious grasslands of chile is being reversed with one of the world's biggest ever conservation projects. they're pretty emblematic of the patagonia if they're plentiful and they're calm like this one is then you know that the system is going back and that they feel no threat works and that's what you're going for. patagonia on al-jazeera. come back and look at the headlines this hour now donald trump has written

a strongly worded letter to house speaker nancy pelosi describing the impeachment process as a crusade and an unprecedented and unconstitutional abuse of power trump says the house democrats declaring open war on american democracy. is a nice foreign minister in which he is in libya why he's been meeting with the wall in the eastern city of rajma but he also met with the leader of libya's un backed government in tripoli is visit coincides with a surge in fighting on the outskirts of tripoli between government forces and those loyal to after trying to seize the capital back in april. for pakistan president pervez musharraf has been sentenced to death for treason and raised to an emergency imposed after suspending the constitution in 2007 the ruling has been condemned by the country's military. developments in washington with a. my house correspondent kimberly halkett who has been following this story and

ahead of his story impeachment vote which the house is widely expected to approve tomorrow a scathing letter from the president donald trump it seems as though he's really perhaps trying to capitalize on this impeachment for 2020. yeah there's no question he has sent out a rallying cry message to his supporters will of the same time in very emotional terms that 6 page letter really slamming the democrats case against him the us president calling it a partisan impeachment crusade on the part of democrats and likening the process where democrats have argued they have given the white house an opportunity to bring forward testimony of witnesses but the white house has refused calling the process a sham the president has no likened this to the salem witch trials of the 1600s these historically in the united states were when those falsely accused of witchcraft were executed so the argument the president's making it's really

a summation of many of his very vitriolic tweets throughout this process of the impeachment inquiry is that he has not have the adequate opportunity to defend himself the u.s. president writes in his letter i take 0 responsibility for impeachment it tells the democrats you view democracy as an enemy you have found nothing the charges against him abuse of power and obstruction of congress are disingenuous meritless and baseless the president ends his 6 page letter socially with a warning for democrats saying look it if you press ahead with this in 2020 the voters will not forgive this perversion of justice this is an abuse of power it is a very strong emotional argument from a president facing impending impeachment and of course out of the vote. dynamic between republicans and democrats as they continue to disagree not just on the order of proceedings for tomorrow but how also

a trial might take shape in the senate and whether or not we you know what the parameters of that trial would be. absolutely and that's something that was hashed out for hours on capitol hill today remember this is a republican president but it's democrats that control the house of representatives where this vote is expected to take place and we got a sense of what that debate is going to look like as the rules committee as it's known typically we don't see this in an open hearing this time it was out in full display where we heard the counter arguments to the message put forward in the president's letter essentially democrats saying that they feel this is an opportunity for protect him ocracy that they accuse this president of being unrepentant for his actions with remember the foundation of this is the phone call the president had back in july with the ukrainian president where it's alleged that he leveraged his white house visit and abused his presidential powers in order to dig up dirt and porch ukraine to dig up dirt on his democratic rival for rice

president joe biden so in all of this the democrats' argument is look at we know there's an election coming in november but we have to protect the integrity of that election they say that the president has invited interference and as a result integrity is being eroded that's why they say they're pressing ahead with this vote thank you very much with the latest from the white house can really help thank you combining amount to developments in west africa a surge in violence in the sahara region is endangering the economy as well as people's lives in the eastern region of tele barry has come under repeated attack by armed groups including offshoots of i still after that address has more now from bamako. this is a military hospital full celebrations 12 hours. but for the soldiers taking part it's a particularly difficult time. last week fighters i lived with i still crossed the border from mali and killed 7 to one of their colleagues. isn't it

security conditions are deteriorating on the border with mali terrorists are attacking common people and mostly tribal leaders kidnapping in executing them terrorist target army personnel with explosives. at the border between mali stretches for hundreds of kilometers to long to be protected by the understaffed and ill equipped armies in the region. say it's a situation exploited repeatedly by armed groups with devastating results on one of the poorest countries in the world. insecurity always has a heavy mental toll this is both perpetrators and a metaphor they know that a skilled person cannot be productive that's why education is their prime target. the u.s. economy tonight is taking a hit these days fewer customers come to the market here into liberia apart from the shortage of supplies people like to impoverish for the. benefit of the lot is

only lack of security into the barriers gravely affected businesses many of the shops have closed down as commercial areas are always targeted how can businesses function in a situation where security is deteriorating day by day. apart from the 720 just soldiers killed last week more attacks were recorded in brooklyn a fossil and mali. it's our lead armed groups have also been active in the region regional armies are struggling to prevent these attacks because off like enough manpower and equipment to come across territories the united nations has a large presence of more than $15000.00 troops in mali alone france also maintains thousands of troops in the region yet countries like mali and continue to suffer from these attacks and that's not only coursing concerns from the local population but also on. much of it aimed at french troops blaming them for not doing enough to

protect the b.d.s. but he agrees al-jazeera. south sudan's president salva care says he and the main opposition leader riyadh machar of agree to form a transitional unity government the decision follows a 3 day meeting in the capital juba it was aimed at resolving differences that it prevented them from agreeing to a new government by november 12th deadline set by the united nations the conflict in south sudan began in 2013 care excuse me a child of an attempted coup is fucking violence that left hundreds of thousands dead. now we go to mexico the president there says that addressing violent crime is his top priority under his manual lopez obrador his remarks come as the mexican government outlined the latest statistics on violence and it's not good the country is on track to set yet another record for violent homicides come the end of this year as money has the details. but as

in federal info to me on tuesday mexican president and basement where lopez obrador presented the latest statistics on violence nationwide. more than $31000.00 people have been killed since the start of the year the result of a wave of violence that's gripped much of the country nossies old fassihi it hasn't been easy there's been an increase in crimes in general with few resources in interment to confront the problem of insecurity and violence. while some cities in mexico have turned the corner on by a few places exemplified a problem of worsening insecurity more than a couple once considered the crown jewel of mexico's tourism industry today the city has lost its shine thinks that a color you don't says violence in this part of the country is out of control she says it's the reason she closed her restaurant 4 years ago but i love about him and that the violence here is unlike anything in the world you can walk along the coast or on the main avenue and find someone who has been killed or

a business so public bus that was set on fire or maybe you'll see someone being kidnapped you just feel helpless. even schools in a couple go aren't spared from the violence the school districts here now lets students out for christmas vacation several weeks early over security concerns iad on my last name on this school principal asked us to hide his identity over the same worries. yes the worst part is getting used to the notion that a body more turn up on a corner or on the main street in that sense it builds like we're losing our humanity. violence in acapulco has been a serious problem for almost a decade according to the latest national homicide statistics i think you'll go ranks as mexico's 2nd most violent city just behind him and all gains have been made to reign in the violence many people here say they soon will feel safe you know knows at a public holiday celebration downtown the mayor of acapulco spoke optimistically

about crime fighting efforts which was the as it was going to them we've had several days without a homicide or a burglary i think it's important we highlight the good things about a poker. despite a shadow of violence that looms over the city there's also a general sense of hope that i couple whose future will be brighter. a couple. on now i have a pretty prime minister forrest johnson says he will use the large majority won in last week's general election to ensure that there are no delays to leaving the european union prime minister will be pushing forward an amendment to the bracks that lower on friday say negotiations have to be complete by the end of next year and he has more here. back in the commons and finally in control boris johnson won the election by convincing enough people including traditional labor voters that he'd get. on tuesday before parliament reconvened he chaired a meeting of his new cabinet it looks much like the last one but parliament

certainly doesn't and johnson reminded his colleagues that in many cases the public howard in his words led the conservative party of their votes. it was a quite extraordinary it was a seismic election but we need to repay that trust and work 24 hours a day flattered to deliver and. of course of the 1st 100 days were very busy 140 days or whatever it was you may remember was a very frenetic time. but you ain't seen nothing yet flags. on friday after the queen's speech when the monaco outlines johnson's legislative agenda the new parliament will vote for the 1st time on the bricks it bill the government's now amending it to ensure the brics a transition period won't go beyond the end of 2020 between now and then the opposition will try to make sure johnson keeps his promises in areas like protecting workers' rights the prime minister in the campaign made many many

promises and therefore has tremendous responsibilities to live up to he'll be judged on whether he keeps those promises or not by the communities that he's made them to our job in the labor party will to hold this government to account after all the deadlock the united kingdom now has a prime minister who couldn't get his legislative program through parliament of course what we don't know is exactly what calling the brics it is going to deliver there's been some speculation johnson could go for closer alignment with e.u. rules than hardliners in his policy would like but with the new amendment his room for maneuver is reduced yes remember the boris johnson resigned over the checkers proposal which to reason may propose which was kind of not even really what we call a soft breck's it may be a kind of medium bricks it so you know his preference has always been for kind of as much divergence from e.u. rules as possible so i think really i think his his main aim is for a free trade agreement with his large majority boris johnson will be taking britain

out of the e.u. by the end of january the biggest challenges he's admitted will be healing a divided nation the team barbara al-jazeera london. secretary of headlines before us president donald trump has issued a stark warning to democrats saying that if they pursue impeachment against him they will be declaring war on american democracy in a scathing letter to the house of representatives speaker nancy pelosi trying called any impeachment ethen and illegal potus and can trump says the hearings are a sham. the whole impeachment thing is a hoax we look forward to getting on to the senate we're not entitled to lawyers we're not entitled to witnesses we're not entitled to anything in the house it's a total sham when you have a guy like shifty shift go out and make up

a statement that i made sure he said this is what he said but i never said it he totally made it up well still a lot of division in congress bobs and accusations being traded between republicans and democrats where they are debating the rules governing the impeachment vote against the u.s. president the democrat controlled house is expected to vote in favor of impeachment tomorrow that's wednesday that would then lead to a trial in the republican controlled senate probably early next year. in the eighty's for minnesota which he to my is in libya where he's been meeting the world after in the eastern city of rajma and he's also met with the leader of libya as you had back government in tripoli is visit coincides with a surge in fighting on the outskirts of tripoli between government forces and those loyal to have done well the united nations has called on the international community to do all it can to end the fighting. we continue to call for deescalation and for active support by all libyans and international actors engaged
