shaped minds children and survivors of mosul share their stories. i still tomorrow a witness documentary on al-jazeera. a president must not be allowed to become a dictator or a fiercely divided u.s. house of representatives votes to impeach president donald trump a move he has and i'm just as a disgrace. there's no crime i'm the 1st person. hello again i'm julie went on and this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up a guilty verdict in the philippines for the masterminds of

a massacre in 2009 that killed 58 people. protesters rounded up and mobile services caught as india's government tries to prevent more demonstrations against a contentious citizenship law. oh they're going to have a company in a vote split down posse lines much like it's divided the nation the u.s. house of representatives has impeached president donald trump. the democratic party controlled char strong with abusing his power as well as obstructing congress in its investigation all those 2 articles of impeachment now go to the republican controlled senate for trial however house speaker nancy pelosi has thrown i'm sorry since she into these next steps by refusing to say when she'll send those articles we know what we were make our decision as to when we're going to say and when we

see what the deal is on the senate side but that's a decision that we will make jointly yes. i'm not heard. that would have been our intention but we'll see what happens over there so i said we're going to set it tonight because it's difficult to determine who the managers would be until we see the arena in which we will be protests attaining. well she had her time say reports now on the 8 hours of highly charged debate and the boat the result was never in doubt don't trump is the 3rd u.s. president in history to be impeached article one is adopting. article 2 is adopted from the reserves gentleman from new york over several hours the democrats repeated arguments that have now become very familiar the president needs

to be held to account many speaker the house of representatives has now considered 2 articles of impeachment against president trump the 1st article charges that the president used his public office to coerce a foreign government into attacking his political rival. the 2nd article charges that the president took extreme an unprecedented steps to obstruct our investigation into his kind of taken together the 2 articles charge that president trump placed his private political interests above our national security above our elections and above our system of checks and balances what we are discussing today is the established fact that the president violated the constitution is a matter of fact that the president is an ongoing threat to our national security and the integrity of our elections the basis of our democracy a central charge against the president is that he was demanding the ukrainian

government announced an investigation into joe biden and his son hunter in return for an official white house visit to the tree a over the republicans argue that the democrats have failed conclusively to prove that case they say president trump was right to be concerned about corruption in ukraine in addition they argue that home to biden's position on the board of a ukrainian energy company while his father was taking the lead in ukrainian policy as a vice president does warrant further examination and they argue that impeachment is simply the attempt to overturn the results of a 2016 election we on the republican side have no problem taking our case to the majority and to the people of this country because they elected donald trump and it is a matter for the voters not this not in this way not in the way this is being done it is trampled everything this house believes in our democrat colleagues have weaponized the impeachment provision of the constitution to nullify the votes of 63000000 americans who elected president donald j. trump this is not about a phone call or your crane or even his use of the executive privilege you have to

remember that 95 of the democrats on this floor today voted to impeach donald trump before the july 25th phone call ever happened between president trump and president selenski a trial is expected to be held in the senate in january the republican leadership is hoping for a relatively quick process of perhaps 2 weeks the president is almost certain to be acquitted the polls suggest the u.s. public is evenly split on impeachment in fact on terms approval ratings have increased since impeachment proceedings began in the autumn she ever turns the al-jazeera washington. well as all of that played out in washington donald trump was rallying supporters in a city called battle creek he slammed democrats impeachment efforts as quote legal and a disgrace and trying to there's little chance he'll be convicted and removed from office by the senate john hendren was at the rally and sent this report. the battle was joined in battle creek. president trumps 1st reaction to impeachment came in

one of the key states he needs to win again in 2020 and it was predictably trumpy in outright defiance this lawless hard assume speech is a political suicide march for the democratic party have you seen my polls of the last 4 weeks about a 3rd of his prepared speech focused on impeachment it was a split screen moment as the house voted along party lines to impeach trump he was standing on stage in battle creek i think we have a vote coming in so we got every single republican voted for us was. he spoke in a county he won in 2016 in his state he won by the narrowest presidential victory in michigan history if you're going to win the presence and you got to win the close states and michigan shapes up to be close again trump won michigan largely on the strength of the votes of working class white voters in places like here in

rural western michigan where some who once built american cars. now dismantle them it remains a region divided guys let's let's try to have a civil conversation this was the reaction to a local congresswoman announcing her support for impeaching trump i may be voting yes on obstruction of congress there's a small group of protesters outside but despite the impeachment vote the founding of the moment is the way the people inside this arena the donald trump can do no wrong. no matter why i don't care what happens i think it's all. the way that this is the president vowed not to surrender through this i like through their. to pray back to the city. crazy nancy pelosi says house democrats. have sent us with an eternal mark of shame and it

really it's a disgrace. with a republican controlled senate on likely to remove him troops fate will likely be decided in the november election in places like this john hendren al-jazeera that will creek michigan to other news now and the philippine courts found to help members of a political clan guilty on multiple counts of murder over a mass killing in 2958 people fair said 2 of them journalists were killed when a convoy of vehicles was attacked in the southern province of mcginn then i around $100.00 people have been on trial over the massacre and mass killing was the single biggest attack on journalists in history phil robertson is deputy director of asia a human rights watch he says the convictions are welcome but place must keep looking for the remaining suspects this is a momentous verdict this is in our view should help finally provide justice the families of the victims and we also hope that it will be something we can use to build towards greater accountability for rights abuses across the country we're

talking about $28.00 defendants who have been convicted including the key members of the impromptu on the clan who are the masterminds behind this massacre so i mean 10 years was a long time to wait for justice for the relatives of the 50 people who were murdered in this case but it's it was worth waiting for we've got 80 people who are still at large and one of the things we're calling for is for the government to move very quickly to apprehend them because as long as those people are still at large witnesses and the families of the victims are not safe we're always concerned about retaliation against witnesses and this is been a big issue for. these in india have arrested as many as 1000 people in new delhi as protests continue against the new citizenship law public gatherings have been banned the demonstrators were rounded up into buses after rallying in the capital many metro stations are closed and internet and other mobile services are blocked

weekend manila you will be out of the storm so partly cloudy conditions few with the terms of their of about 30 degrees while the heat is still on across much of australia we're still dealing with that very intense heat wave across much of the central and also the eastern areas of australia now we do have a front that will be pushing through we're going to be watching this front very carefully as it slides east it will begin to really moderate those temperatures and bring those temperatures back down but here on friday expect to see adelaida 45 degrees alice springs at 40 milburn at about 43 degrees here and as we go towards saturday the front starts to move a little bit more towards the east finally getting a break for adelaide with a tempter there of 25 in melbourne attempt a few of $23.00. my

withholding aid to ukraine to pressure it into investigating his political rival childe biden if courts find top members of a political congo on multiple counts of murder over the country's worst mass killing 58 people were killed in 2009 in the southern province of my getting denied . to lebanon that where the party of caretaker prime minister saad hariri is refusing to nominate a candidate to be his successor they made the announcement as formal consultations began between the president and politicians to decide the next lead their career resigned in october after weeks of antigovernment demonstrations people protesting against corruption and sectarian politics governing their country for decades. well tony bennett has more from beirut hi there tony so i guess the main question is what happens now that they've there refused to name a candidate. well it's anybody's guess it's

a very complicated world in lebanese politics and guessing what's going to happen next is very very difficult indeed but it does seem that there's going to be very few nominations there's going to be a for a front runner that's being nominated we understand by the. free patriotic movement alliance and that's going to be a man as holder has who is a former education minister in the government and a professor at the american university of beirut he seems to be the candidate of choice but the other political blocs in this 15 in total don't seem to be nominating anybody this could be a protest in that they don't want the political situation to go down the same it's been for the last 30 years of course this is close and stimulated the protests on the streets people very angry about the nepotism and corruption in the government as well as the economic situation so this could be a protest vote by the other groups but the president bashar aoun can nominate who he wants from those people who are nominated then it goes through a lengthy process so it's far from over at the moment but it could be that part is

what moves to mr hariri standing taking a seat step backwards because he wants to have this situation diffuse for the people to disperse from the streets and then to have some calm before a choice is finally made but as a say it's complicated trying to get to 2nd guess lebanese politics tony as you say as it seems to me complex situation but i wondering if this just adds further frustration for the lebanese people who as you say have been continually protesting . well there were the protests have gone down but we are expecting bigger protests this sunday tends to be on the weekends we have seen an escalation in violence more force being used by the security forces in putting down these demonstrations and we have seen an import by i'm all supporters trying to attack the the anti-government protesters so the feelings are pretty strong here still because you got to look at the economy here it's very much in a dire straits since the lebanese power was devalued fuel prices have gone up and

employment is very high they don't know about buying medical supplies because of a shortage of foreign currency so until this political impasse stops they've got to be able to carry on and that's going to be very difficult in the coming weeks tony blair there there live from beirut tony thank you rights groups are warning of an increase in forced disappearances an arbitrary detentions in iraq they say security forces are targeting those taking part in anti-government demonstrations as part of a systematic crackdown similar to falter and has the story from baghdad. no chance of anger and defiance echoed through to his square friends of late arlie and bundle sharky demand their return and accountability for those responsible for their disappearance the 2 university students and demonstrators went missing on december 13th after they left here square to meet an unknown person who had called to make
