1:00 pm
hello there i'm how the one he'd seen in doha and this is the al-jazeera news are coming out for you in the next 60 minutes protesters rounded up our mobile services cuts as india's government tries to prevent more demonstrations against the new citizenship law. it president must not be allowed to become a dictator. the u.s. house of representatives votes to impeach president donald trump you know faces a trial in the republican controlled senate. a guilty verdict in the philippines for those behind the massacre of 58 people 10 years ago. anti heat records broken
1:01 pm
in 2 days over in a strangely or a state of emergency has been declared for fires burning in the east. and i'm leah harding here with all of your sports liverpool leave it to the last minute roberto for me you know it's set up a final against his fellow brazilians in the club world cup. ah. that police in india have detained 100 circle several cities for defying a ban on protests the government is trying to stop mass demonstrations against a new citizenship law that opponents say threatens the country's secular constitution a 1000 demonstrators rallying in the capital have been rounded up no this legislation has provoked anger because it offers a path to citizenship for persecuted minorities. from 3 neighboring countries but
1:02 pm
specifically excludes muslims phone companies say they've suspended internet and mobile services in parts of new delhi following a government order many train and metro stations are closed their opponents of the law called for a day of action there have been large rallies and additional arrests in multiple cities across the country well let's say across life now to new delhi were so he'll raman is standing by to help people are still taking to the streets and they are being swiftly arrested what is the government's strategy on this i mean they can arrest everyone. yes i think her surprise the government of the strategy has been very clear is trying to hunt down on these demonstrations but the difficulty that the government and the authority of found and what we actually witnessed today very close to the bridge for where we were in the capital new delhi was that these demonstrations some of that were just sporadic
1:03 pm
there were some many hundreds at march towards the red ford and police could actually see them coming in from a distance they score to them into the vet for itself and then subsequently arrested them each and every one of them placed them on buses bus them out to the furthest most points of the capital and in fact we thought they were going to be detained at police stations but they weren't what the authorities did was literally drop them off at the edge of delhi in delhi is a huge city has a population of nearly 26000000 and drop them off in a city where the internet and telephone lines were cut so the various demonstrations that were happening. basically allowed the various demonstrators to be spread across the city they couldn't communicate with each other as to where to congregate later and this situation was dispersed it has to be said that the demonstrations were very peaceful in nature they were loud they were boisterous lots of flags lots of cards against the government and the police were very
1:04 pm
restrained there was various sets of security forces the brown khaki colored normal police that you see on the streets here of delhi and then there was the riot police are already prepared with us and also the long sticks the lottie's as we call them here in india just in case the crowd got rowdy but that was generally the the nature of the demonstration that we saw here lots of civil society people arrested lots of politicians arrested but apparently what we know is they've all now been released but are in different parts of the city. and this say he'll have the same daily demonstrations here but realistically i mean how long can this go on for how long can they may detain. these process. well it is interesting because basically the the social media network itself is making sure that the citizenship amendment and his heart both front and center high
1:05 pm
profile in terms of being in the public psyche and in the public discussion domain and therefore now we're seeing messages from bollywood stars and from politicians and civil society across the country saying we have to keep that meant we have to keep pressure on the government and keep this forefront in this in the supreme court's mind when they reconvene after the christmas and new year recess to consider the rules that have to be written around the law which they have requested the government to present to them once those rules have been digested you might say by the supreme court judges they will then ask all the petitioners that are complaining about the new law and the government to hear their arguments in court on january the 22nd so heller from now till the ice only assuming from what we can see and the way people are talking to us that and that so there will be passionate about the fact that india's constitution india's secular could ensure olds are
1:06 pm
under threat and something has to be done and this law has to be removed so expect more demonstrations expect more public anger and a very very strong victory ali good discourse between the opposition and the government of the interior minister ahmed shah who said this law is not going to go away it's here to stay well we'll see in times for that so that says a hill rahman there reporting live from new delhi well let's say with this city chandra is assistant professor of government at georgetown university and joins us on skype from kolkata good to have you with us on the program we heard from the hill that the government is perhaps caught off guard. by the numbers of protests but surely they weren't courts of guard by the the scale of opposition to this law do you think it's a rush this through or that this was a deliberate tactic from the governments. i
1:07 pm
don't think they. come from on but. they're not just. number of decisions including one man walking around temple in new york here which was built and now is going to be rebuilt or built on the site of parades march so i think the series of steps of the government of the act and since it was reelected in me but the complete majority are and i don't think they really take the position seriously but it seems that outside the part of hunter started the political system there is a tremendous opposition society especially among young people students and to. well this is perhaps opposition outside the parliament but the p.g.p. to have an enormous mandate is a decisive win in the last election and certainly. they have this man satan and
1:08 pm
this is one of the things that they said they would do if they were voted in so surely there must be some support for what they're doing. there is support but you know by the works of a parliamentary system of that you can get a very decisive majority party 80 percent of the vote what do you do about the other 62 percent who didn't vote for the government. and i think that's where you see in particular where you have need your pin rule in the streets i think that's where you see the most vehement opposition and clashes of the police and so on in the not only stance and state governments can actually decide not to implement the new law or any new all of that come out so i think that sets up a tussle between state and you're dead. and so how do you think this will play out given the strength of the opposition on the streets and the reluctance of some
1:09 pm
states to push this through do you think that the government may eventually be defeated on this. i think the we're in for a protracted constitutional crisis and i think at some point the supreme court in general will have to rule i don't think that will be the final word because even if it becomes a law implementing the law ultimately depends on the states and districts of the country so instead of governments where the leader he is not in power or opposition parties are in power they're going to resist and they're going to resist with the federal bring but. also individuals are pretty civil servants of policeman bringing to resist and knocked more head with implementing the law so little of a kind of civil disobedience and some sense in and outside the state. ok is a chanter good to get your thoughts i thank you very much indeed for joining the
1:10 pm
al-jazeera news. there was a vote split star in party lines much like its divided nation the u.s. house of representatives has impeached president donald trump the democratic party controlled house charged with abusing his power as well as obstruct and congress in its investigation of those 2 articles of impeachment now go to the republican controlled senate for trial but house speaker nancy pelosi has thrown uncertainty into these next steps by refusing to say when she will sense those articles we always we won't make our decision as to when we're going to send it 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 with. what happens over there that i said where you had said it tonight because it's difficult to determine who
1:11 pm
the managers would be until we see the arena in which we will be protests attaining. well as a lot played out in washington donald trump was rallying his supporters as in michigan that's one of the states that he narrowly won in 2060 now he slams democrats impeachment efforts as illegal and a disgrace and he points it out to those little chance he'll actually be convicted and removed from office by the senate's from battle creek john hendren has just reports. 1 1 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 lola's partisan 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
1:12 pm
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 a state he won by the narrowest presidential victory in michigan history we're here when the presents 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'm going to be
1:13 pm
voting yes on obstruction and. 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. donald trump can do no wrong. no matter why i don't care what happened. to him in the way that. is the president vowed not to surrender through the i like . the previous actions that a crazy nancy pelosi says house them. with an eternal market share really it's grows. with a republican controlled senate on likely to remove him troops they will likely be decided in the november election in places like this john hendren al-jazeera battle creek michigan. let's see what happens when this does get to the senate which kid
1:14 pm
be seen as january all over the chamber could dismiss the charges senate majority leader mitch mcconnell has said the trial will go ahead the chief justice of the supreme court john breaux bert's is sworn in as chief presiding officer in the senators will act as jurors the house of representatives members kids act as prosecutors they and lawyers for the president will cross-examine the witnesses at least 2 thirds or 67 senators are needed to vote guilty on at least one article of impeachment to have donald trump removed from office now if this happens the vice president would become president of the united states serious senior political analyst marvin bashara joins me now here in doha marble they were fought through the process that will eventually happen but it does seem and all fully long way off especially since those articles of impeachment haven't even got so the senate yet
1:15 pm
what's going on. well clearly. the speaker of the house once a bargaining chip with the republican leadership of the senate and the only way she could do that is by withholding those articles of impeachment sort that in her in her mind there won't be a congo room trial in the senate that will simply venda kate and declare president trump any incident without any serious process so they could just would hold it indefinitely until more information comes out and continue to claim that the president was impeached or they get better deal from the republican leadership in the senate and then they go to a trial that is more conducive to a trial than a political circus but as well is that their political circus is arguably what this is as terror invented it doesn't really appear to be about right and wrong and you
1:16 pm
know evidence or the lack thereof what is this really about it's i mean the population assumes that he's going to be exonerated by the senate so so here essentially is going to decide the fate of the trump presidency. the electorate because as you said what is supposed to be a legal process where the founding fathers of the united states. pleaded with future generation is that they treat this as a huge deal and that they judge it on its merits not on it to logical grounds of course has not been the case neither in the trial neither in the clinton impeachment process nor apparently in the term impeachment process so i think what you have now is a president that is very robust boastful of his rejection of this kind of process and this in no way is both a condemnation of the president but also
1:17 pm
a vendy cation of the populace donald trump because what does donald trump really stands for in this context he stands for that democracy is about he the elected and the people everything else in between is the destruction whether it is the media were there it is the courts whether it's the political parties even congress in the us far as his concern is the destruction because as a populist leader excellence he thinks the jora he decided and he is the president and the only way he'll be removed from office is by the electorate everything else is unfair to him now the poor numbers are on the appeal process haven't really seen to be moving one way or another trump strategy is arguably been incredibly effective and that carrot surprises his president does not he is it's a stroke he can buck the trends in the conventional ways we're now seeing this come
1:18 pm
to the ultimate head the impeachment process do you think that ultimately the u.s. institutions as they are able to withstand this force this trumpy and populist force what does the future herald whichever way the the impeachment trial goes. well look behind the smokescreen if you will there is an ongoing court unquote civil war they put little it illogical civil war in america about the saw all of america will america be a pluralistic liberal democracy or will be a populist nationalist democracy and in the latter sense nationalist would mean more like need to vest white and so on and so forth the earlier it would mean more blacks minorities support for free speech defense of the institutions that are supposed to be or have oversight over the democratic process i think president
1:19 pm
trump represent the nationalist democratic in liberal america while more the democrats congress and the courts represent something more liberal and pluralistic and i think here in the next 10 months or so americans will have to decide do they only vote by their pockets and whether there is some economic progress or better income tax on so on so forth or whether they will vote by their conscience meaning do they want a liberal democratic america or a nationalist in liberal. came our way and bashar al jazeera is senior political analyst thank you very much for your thoughts there is lots more still to come on this al-jazeera news hour including. it is still not clear who will be lebanon's next prime minister after a major party declines to put forward
1:20 pm
a nomination and protesters fight police outside barcelona as fertile ground as the team's please its el classico match against real madrid leo will have all the details for you. consultations are taking place in iraq as the deadline for the nomination of a new prime minister looms to step down from the polls last month after weeks of violent protest in which more than $400.00 people were killed but the demonstrations have continued people say they want a complete overhaul of the political system they're angry about widespread corruption i unemployment and public services 5 no 2 smaller fulton in baghdad smaller with expected announcements on monday and then it was purple perspire hundreds of thursday he just gave us an overview of the timeline and why there's been this confusion. well it's been
1:21 pm
a very confusing process and that is because the resignation of the prime minister is not clearly defined in the constitution prime minister idol of the the announced his resignation on november 29th parliament then met to discuss it and approved it on december 1st but according to the bylaws of the council of ministers it's actually the president who is supposed to receive it and that happened on december 4th so basically today is the end of the 15 day period that is to put it in the constitution whereby the new candidate is supposed to be dominated by this not by no means by no means clear at this point whether that will actually take place now for more on this i'm now joined by laurie who is the head of research at the buy and center thanks for joining us but if that actually is an announcement today there are no clear signs yet that the president has decided on a nominee it is possible that we may not find a result by the end of tonight of course as you said i mean there is a 15 day deadline for designating the prime minister. this is not the 1st time that
1:22 pm
you know the constitution has been breached so we may have to wait a few more days there are all sorts of names being bandied about it's very hard to decide you know how credible these claims are. it's obvious i think that the president is trying to look for a consensus politician that can meet the expectations of all the. flops now if we don't have a new prime minister by midnight today so if we do have a prime minister i mean that is not likely to appease the protesters and their demands i think there are 2 issues so the problem is that one of the problems is the protesters have clearly said that no one speaks on their behalf and that there are multiple actors within the protest movement so it's very difficult to determine whether as a collective they would be appeased by seeing a new prime minister the other issues i think that their demands go way beyond the appointment of a new prime minister i don't think most of these protesters came about to have to
1:23 pm
force this current prime minister to resign they want jobs they want to tackle corruption they want to electoral reform these things are going to happen with this new government and i think this current government has 2 main priorities the 1st is i think to reign in the violence and i think the 2nd is to make way for new elections for early elections with a new reformed electoral code that can really change the political dynamics in this country now if we don't have a new prime minister by midnight tonight who will actually be in charge of the government and who is supposed to be in charge according to the constitution to the prime minister has insisted very clearly that his government will continue as a caretaker government until a new candidate is designated and until that person is able to form a new government there are different interpretations of what is supposed to happen some claim that the current president is supposed to. take the role of prime
1:24 pm
minister 5015 days but i don't think that it's going to happen it's unlikely thank you very much for joining us. from dubai on center of course we'll have to wait and see what will happen. today and the reactions of the protesters to the new candidate if there will. ok thank you very much indeed some of our tent live in baghdad. well let's head to lebanon now where the party of caretaker prime minister saad hariri is refusing to nominate any other candidate to be his successor and the president holds informal consultations with politicians to decide the next leader and really of course resigned in october after weeks of anti-government protests there people have been protesting against corruption and the sectarian politicians dominating the governments for more unless we can bring in tony burke lee he's live for us in be reduced to any future movement party is refusing adds it's a name a success and there's a quite a few books who are nominating anyone why is this. while
1:25 pm
i'm at the presidential palace and each block is coming along to make an announcement of what they are doing or what they're not doing and as you got quite rightly said the major sunny blocks are not nominating anybody they've left including mr hariri the outgoing prime minister is throwing into question what the motives are is the political maneuvering going on behind the scenes and also a feeling that these blocks want to allow the situation on the streets to defuse for the tension levels to go down and then to come together to make a political situation but it's also very interesting to know that the hezbollah alliance putting forward a candidate by the name of mr. who was a former education minister and he's a professor of american universe of beirut but it's interesting to to know that while he was education minister his prime minister was mr. was mr mccarthy but mr mccarthy's sunny block has not voted for him either it shows you the depth of
1:26 pm
confusion so there's only one of the candidate being put forward by some of the smaller groups and he is probably going not going to get the sufficient number of votes to get any further his name is mr noah salam and hezbollah already said the. he's a u.s. sponsored candidate so at the moment it's very confusing where we go from here i have to say though whatever happens today if there is a candidate nominated and president ouled can nominate who he wants out of those nominations will still some way from getting a government and the instability that this is causing will go on and cause further problems as this country moves forward temple bar and to any. one of the protests is going to make of all of this i mean they've been incredibly frustrated for weeks and months now and how are they likely to react. what we're going to see in the next few days the big protests tend to happen at weekends were also were getting murmurings on the street already that they're not very happy with
1:27 pm
mr de as a potential candidate they're talking about perhaps the world financial irregularities when he was education minister these are uncorroborated i have to say but that's the nature of lebanese politics there's a always a claim and counter-claim but it's very confusing when even the political experts in this country can pick out exactly what's going on and why and i'll give you another example 30 years ago i was here when mr hour was president there was a human shield around protecting the president and the powers from of bombs of the syrians but also from hezbollah and amal and today the president michel aoun has an alliance with hezbollah and amal that shows you how confusing and complicated things are in lebanon ok tony they talk it gets through the kid a fusion thank you very much indeed stern about the joining us live from the brits . there is truly a has filtered through its hottest sea ever just 24 hours after breaching the
1:28 pm

1:30 pm
government isn't doing enough to stop what they're calling a climate emergency. across the country across the country and they're not doing anything about it we've seen a 25 percent increase in risk presentation. hospitals across sydney because of this crisis in the air pollution that's resulting from that we're seeing deepening health inequalities because of government in action on climate change and it's negligent and it's actually killing people prime minister morrison wasn't home to hear their message he's on holiday and he's due to return later this week to face the heat of the war in the volatile situation will grow even more dangerous in the coming days with strong winds and soaring temperatures forecast just a washington al-jazeera sydney. well in a few moments we'll have more onus truly in the weather with kevin corriveau but there is still more to come here now to syria. after the conservative victory in

1:35 pm
hariri is refusing to nominate any candidate to be his successor the president is holding formal consultations with politicians to decide it's the next leader. of philippine courses find top members of a political clan guild see on multiple counts of murder or a mass killing in 2958 people 32 of them journalists were shot dates when their convoy was attacked in the southern province of maguindanao no it's oregon the reports. the accused dressed in yellow a prison plates was sitting in the back of the supreme court in manila as the guilty verdicts were read out by the club they are hereby convicted and sentenced to suffer the penalty of imprisonment a 1000 kilometers south of the philippine capital in general cental city some of the relatives of those killed 10 years ago watched a live stream of the court ruling not quit but only i finally received justice from
1:36 pm
my mum but there were those who were acquitted so i will keep on fighting for justice. to make india now massacre as it's become known happened on the morning of november the 23rd 2009 journalists and members of a local political family were travelling in a convoy of vehicles when a gang of armed men shot them and buried that bodies in a mass grave 32 a journalists others were members of the manga 2 family political rivals to the powerful and patch one clan witnesses say the armed men who working for the late governor and. 80 suspects have never been arrested rights groups say those who campaigned for justice a still in danger 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
1:37 pm
a big issue the fight for justice has been difficult and painful and for the families it's not a they yet victoria is there. well and one is a justice reporter for rappler a social news websites and joins us on skype from manila gets have you with you on the program why is it taken so long for this case to come to trial. well it's the sheer volume author q. there were not 197 who were ordered arrested in 2009 or new 101 of them were put in trial and as the report said 80 remain at large so combine that with the slow pace of our justice system here in the philippines to close we need to take 10 years and some thought the prosecutors who are saying that it's actually quicker than they expected because of the sheer number of the people who are in trial and it is an astonishing case is it not i mean as you point to the
1:38 pm
numbers of people who are on trial the fact it's taken so long what do you think this case specifically reveals a by what one could argue this is a culture of impunity in the philippines. even even with the conviction i think the 10 years that a stake in this trial has to reveal a culture of impunity here in the philippines because frankly no one has to wait that long no one has to wait that long for a justice to be served the reserve then and the fact that this happened in broad daylight in many witnesses in front of many witnesses in the philippines show you that there is really a culture of impunity and principle accused were acquitted even though they had knowledge of the murder plot so that also tells you an extent of a culture from here and in terms of the family itself who are the political climate and parts one family i mean people are still voting for the they're still in power and in many parts of the region how do you think the local population is
1:39 pm
going to react to this and why will this case impact them. well we could do with a look at it from the story of one of the brothers in islam but the one who was out on bail in trying to get in he was given a hero's welcome after he got he was in riyadh that mail and then he went on to win mayor of 5000 there and he is slowly slowly raising back the power so in terms of the negative impact on the family when you look at it from the 1st option out there small maybe there is no not as much as a negative impact as the victims of the families would want. ok great to get your thoughts thank you very much indeed leon joining us from manila thank you. there are jarius newly elected president. has been sworn in to boone was confirmed as president for the next 5 years despite widespread and happiness at his election his
1:40 pm
1st mission after taking the oath of office is the appointments of a new prime minister to boon are seen by many as part of a long running corrupt to stablish mint and protests is calling for a complete change now a largely ceremonial but significance events will happen soon in london when the british monarch outlines the new government's agenda the queen's speech will say the conservative prime minister boris johnson's plans for the ukase post breaks its future war and sleeve reports from stoke on trent one of the many places that abandoned the labor party to keep the conservatives in power in this small revolution in english politics these are the streets where the voices of demanded to be heard and it isn't hard to work out why the story of the working poor in this country gets worse with every passing year in the 6th richest country in the world
1:41 pm
people who work in places like hospitals or factories are relying on someone to give them essential for their babies because they can't afford to buy them. this church has been taken over by the sheer need most shockingly of all they told us these little packets of baby food aren't being eaten by infants but by their parents parents to sacrifice in their own health an equally then you tradition by making sure so so so so they that so the children don't have to exactly and also to make sure that you do get the food that they need and these are these are working people working people yes definitely. it's just absolute sure it is extraordinary since the election all the analysis has suggested the vote for the conservatives in places like this came almost entirely from older white people who may or may not still be around to see bricks it's eventually get done even so the conservatives
1:42 pm
