political issues we are with the people we live to tell the real stories are just mended is to deliver in-depth journalism we don't feel in favor to the audience across the globe. al jazeera. this is the al-jazeera news hour live from london coming up president trying to put his own personal interests above the national interests above our national security and if not stopped he will do it again the u.s. house votes to send articles of impeachment to the senate and approves the 7 member team which will lead the trial against donald trump. all change in russia the entire government resigns and

a new prime minister is named as president putin and france's his reform agenda. on the verge of a major eruption some residents living near the top of volcano in the philippines are reluctant to leave. and the new climate data it shows the past decade was the best on record. and i'm sorry a smile i have all the day's sport including danger driving in the desert a lucky escape for that though alonso at the dapper rally in saudi arabia. will begin on capitol hill where the u.s. house of representatives has voted to send the articles of impeachment against president to the senate it also passed a resolution authorizing the appointment of 7 managers for the trial and house intelligence committee chairman adam schiff will lead that team trump is accused of

threatening to withhold military aid to ukraine in exchange for an investigation into his political rival joe biden impeachment trial is expected to begin properly next week. the task before us is a grave one but one demanded by our oath the impeachment inquiry undertaken by the house of representatives found that president donald j. trump abused his power and sought to cover it up with an unprecedented campaign of obstruction president trump put his own personal interests above the national interests above our national security and if not stopped he will do it again for that reason he was impeached and for that reason the house managers will take the case to the senate and to the american people because the appropriate remedy indeed the only remedy is the conviction and removal from office of president donald trump audition castros live from capitol hill in washington d.c. how do you where are we now in this process. lauren in

a few hours time you'll see house speaker nancy pelosi in gross the passage of these articles of impeachment to be transmitted to the senate that means she will sign them in a ceremony and then immediately afterwards we will see these articles the actual printed documents being carried across the u.s. capitol from the house of representatives chamber where everything that's far has unfolded and make their way across there were tundra and into the senate side of the capitol which will also be the crossing of this historic threshold with president trump being only the 3rd u.s. president in history to now face a trial that could result in his removal from office and we will see those 700 smith managers who are essentially the prosecutors that will be arguing the case against they will also accompany those articles in

a ceremonial march across the capitol building what that really means is that starting from that moment afterwards we will see the rest of this impeach him. a out in the republican controlled senate that is where the trial will unfold and that is where because the republicans hold the majority there and of course that's president trump's own party most of his mostly it'll be his own supporters who will decide his fate it takes a 2 thirds majority vote to convict the president and thus remove him from office so the standard there extremely high one the likelihood that at least 20 republican senators would defect from trump in order to get him convicted that likelihood is very slim at the moment however we know that with the transmission of these articles today that this historic trial of a president is certainly guaranteed and how did new evidence has been released in

the past 24 hours how significant is it. that they answer that question about their significance is whether or not they will be allowed to play a role in the upcoming trial of president trump but the evidence itself certainly on face value appears compelling these are documents that were just released by levy are not he is an associate of the private attorney of president trump rudy giuliani and he was dispatched to ukraine with the mission of digging the dirt on trump's political rival joe biden and he shared with investigators because of a court order allowing him to do so he just recently shared this trove of documents that include handwritten notes and text messages that have previously not been considered by impeachment investigators they include a handwritten note that says gets a little ski the president of ukraine to announce that the biden case will be

investigated there's also a letter from giuliani the president's personal attorney addressed his alinsky that says that giuliani is acting with the full knowledge and consent. of president donald trump that is significant because it directly ties the president to these allegations that he faces at the heart of this impeachment that allegation being that trump had the corrupt intent of trying to get dirt on his political rival to benefit his own reelection while using u.s. security aid to ukraine as leverage that is something that the motivation there the intent is what president trump has been denying and thus far there has not been direct evidence proving otherwise so democrats are certainly hoping that this will be allowed to be considered as part of a trial as well as new potential new witnesses who have said they would be willing to come forward and the american public in recent polling have also said that the

majority of the american public believe that senators should listen to new evidence as it emerges should hear from those new witnesses in order for this to be a fair trial on your question of the time being thank you very much what i would burn is a former special impeachment counsel to the u.s. house of representatives he joins me live from washington d.c. thanks very much for being with us now i understand you've done this from one side of the of the house to one side of the capitol to the other talk us through how that works and how it feels. well it's rather momentous although in my instance we were dealing with federal judges who have been impeached but it's very stirring i mean you start you leave the house chamber you walk down this very very long corridor then you go under the rotunda in the center of the huge building and of course there are always people there who are just sightseers and visitors and they are gawking at it was to wondering what you're doing and then we all march

to the senate chamber we are announced that we are there to present the articles of impeachment the doors are open than we march in the lead manager in this case and presumably it will be adam schiff with whom i work for a year on 2 other impeachments he will then read the articles to the senate all of whom are in the room at that moment and so i mean you mentioned adam schiff that as one of those manages how critical is this particular cost of characters to the potential outcome of any trial well you know sometimes the members of the house who participate in an impeachment are there because they want to have a little participation in a bit of history adam schiff is the real deal so to speak he is a stanford harvard law school graduate he was a former prosecutor for many years and he is

a very talented lawyer so he is not simply there in a political capacity he is actually there because he's a very good draw lawyer i've seen him. on several occasions cross-examining witnesses arguing legal points he's he's for real and i think that if for no other reason he is very good that he from the democrats' point of view very good that he is involved in this and you mention cross-examining witnesses how likely is it that that actually will be the witnesses in this in the senate. we'll of course that's that's the big question i think a lot of pressure is building on the republicans who do control the entire process but i think the pressure is building for them to allow witnesses the american people i think want to know what happened and who was responsible it's i'm sure there is a hard core in support of the president that really doesn't care this whole process doesn't mean a thing to them but there is

a large group in the middle independents people who haven't made up their minds yet who are very interested in hearing all of the facts and to the extent that facts are covered up i think they will draw a negative inference which means even though the president may be acquitted in this proceeding in the in the congress this is going to reverberate in november when the election comes around and i think that many people there are their eyes on that rather than simply what's going to take place in the senate chamber baron thank you very much indeed to share your expertise thank you oh white house correspondent in may how kate has moved on president obama's reaction to the trial heading to the senate. it has been tweeting it was a bit unusual it didn't really mean anything so i'm not going to read it back to you because we're not exactly sure what it meant other than it was it ever by this president to inject his voice into

a process that is about him but essentially he has no involvement in at the moment so what the president has been doing in addition is also holding a signing ceremony with the representatives from china this is phase one of a trade agreement with china normally we'd be making a lot of noise about this would be a big headline and i think the white house was hoping that would be the case again but instead the real fixation here in washington or around the world has been the events that have taken place on capitol hill so perhaps because the white house was a get media attention it wanted or the narrative wasn't going in the direction of the reaction there was a phone call between some of the senior top administration officials and members of the media to kind of give us a sense of how this white house is hoping this trial in the u.s. senate will go moving forward and what this white house is pushing for right now is for this to be a very quick trial with essentially no witnesses being called now this is a big problem for members of the democratic party not just in the house of

representatives but also in the u.s. senate because their argument is there need to be witnesses called there's still more evidence the american people have not heard they want to hear from people like the secretary of state by pump a.o. the former national security advisor john bolton in fact he would have some evidence that certainly would be pertinent to this case given his close proximity to the president. restimulate mentioned the main order of business at the white house itself was the signing of a trade deal with china after more than 18 months of wrangling president donald trump signed the agreement which eliminates some tariffs and defuses a trade war between the world's 2 largest economies $86.00 page deal includes a promise from china to double purchases from american farmers in the 1st year both countries say the phase one agreement is a mental step forward in their relations shiloh's made substantial and in forcible commitments regarding the protection of american ideas trade secrets patents and

trademarks this was not according to most i didn't know we covered every of this we've covered a lot of this it's phase one but they're doing many more things in phase one than anyone thought possible mike hanna is live for us in washington d.c. the white house national economic adviser larry could lawyers call it the best deal ever why what does he think that. well it may be a bit premature to categorize the steel such as that it is phase one off what will be a multi phase deal it is very much a truce in the trade war rather than an end to it now it is significant that china has opened up its markets for the 2 u.s. companies china has also made certain assurances and guarantees about allowing u.s. companies to operate within china it does address the tariffs that were recently introduced by president trump however most of those some 65 percent of those

tariffs will remain in place the tariffs that had been reduced incidentally down to 7.5 percent have to do with consumer items flat screen televisions athletic footwear bluetooth headphones which some observers point out is very much a way of signaling to the consumer that they will get some benefit from the deal linking to president trump seeing this whole thing as the meeting off a campaign promise but those who are opposed or critical of the deal that has been signed at this point point out that it does not address what is a central issue in china u.s. trade and that is the chinese government subsidies of chinese companies many of them state owned which essentially allows chinese companies to act as an advantage to u.s. companies therefore being able to produce goods cheaper and therefore having an imbalance in trade between the 2 countries but it is as i say the 1st step most of the tariffs remain in place posed by the united states the other terrorists will be

introduced if china does not comply with the agreement in the months to come so there is a punitive factor to this as well and many others have criticized the deal is weak tell us more about that. well it says points that i've just made that there are elements in it that are not addressed at this particular stage i mentioned the chinese government subsidies of chinese companies which put them at a favorable position in regard to the u.s. competitors also there's the issue of cyber intelligence the issue of chinese. stealing of u.s. technology chinese hacking of u.s. computer systems now this is not addressed at all in this particular phase one it is many observers contend one of the central problems in terms of the u.s. china relationship so there are many issues that go unaddressed many of them very fundamental in terms of the relationship but even those observers who are critical

of this particular phase one deal will greet with a sigh of relief this poor in a trade war that has been crippling to the economies of both countries and further afield so this as i said a truce not an end to the war but certainly a truce that is welcomed by most mike hanna thank you very much. much more to come here on the news hour protesters continue to show their anger at lebanon's economic crisis and a top u.n. official says politicians only have themselves to blame. iran's president repeats his call for all foreign troops to leave the middle east saying american and european forces are not safe in the region and rally for relief the stars of tennis come together now been to raise money for victims of the australian bushfires.

russia's prime minister has stepped down in a move seen as paving the way for president vladimir putin to hold on to power when his term ends in 2024 miter madrid if says his resignation will allow for putin to introduce sweeping changes to the constitution during his state of the nation address hooten proposed an increase in parliament's power as well as an enhanced role for the state council trying to hoe reports. it was dramatic and entirely unexpected except the just hours before the resignation of russia's prime minister dmitry medvedev and his entire government the president vladimir putin had called for government change. as he's given. we is the government of the russian federation and should provide the president of our country with the opportunity to make all necessary changes to the political system. in the end you will live televised state of the nation address putin said that the constitution should be

amended to allow parliament to choose candidates for prime minister and the cabinet a power now enjoyed soley by the president and the president he said should in future serve a total maximum of 2 terms putin himself is currently serving his 4th the proposed changes would substantially limit the power of whoever succeeds putin as president after he steps down in 2024 as he's constitutionally bound to do supporters describe the movers deepening democracy empowering elected members of parliament critics however suggest it offers a concrete clue to russia's hottest political question what happens after putin the answer some believe is more. the main result of putin's address tweeted kremlin critic alexis novell me what kind of idiots and or crooks or all those who said that putin would leave in 2024 the only goal of putin and his regime is remaining

leader for life taking ownership of an entire country and appropriating wealth to himself and his friends the russian president seeks to. continue to exert control or the russian political sphere even after he leaves the official office of the president so there's more of is intended to change the. structure of their action government in such a way as. to possibly move to a different position from which he will be able to do so. but d.b.f. lutein who said nothing of his intentions post presidency but he could be planning a repeat of these 2008 move to become prime minister will take on another senior role a weakened presidency might pave the way for russia's longest cheerleader since talent to take power with him when he goes join a whole al-jazeera. earlier i spoke to maria lipman an independent political

analyst based in moscow she says putin's proposed constitutional amendment all about keeping him in power beyond the end of his term 2024 which in we'll have to step down after his 2nd consecutive term are in is a challenge to the political system in russia and personally because he has to stay on as the most powerful politician in the country he has to retain his grip on power question is how do you do this if you have to step down from the position of the president so the amendments to the constitution are elements of an attempt to change the political can think in ration to change the. constitutional structure of the institutions of state power so that can take another office we don't know which one maybe even more than the $1.00 and $3.00 main argument lee in charge so you

mention potentially a kind of combination of rows is that something that would would work for him do you think to try and keep him in power. right now we have to make do with speculations we don't know what the amendments apparently came to come down to is among other things a redistribution of government authority from the presidency to the parliament also an empowerment of certain body is that are not even constitutional right now such as the state council which is actually a collection of high ranking officials. so whether or not put in will make do with just one office or take several or take offices that don't even exist today. this is up to speculation. iran's president has warned that european soldiers in the middle east may be in danger as on rouhani made the comments just

a day off to britain france and germany now watched a dispute mechanism on the 2015 nuclear deal they accuse iran of repeated violations on diplomatic who james bays reports from the united nations. 2 'd at a time when large crowds of iranians have been protesting in the streets the country's president instead addressed his comments to the international community has signed rouhani is a meeting of his cabinet dismissed recent suggestions from the u.k. prime minister boris johnson that there should be a new deal with iran and said they should focus on the one already agreed in 2015 that. if you take the wrong step it will be to your detriment pick the right path the right path is to return to the nuclear deal there was this warning note to european nations saddam was on the call yaml is that a no many's the american soldier is not secure today to moral maybe the european

soldier will not be secure let us address the city security for now the iran nuclear deal signed with 5 world powers including the us in 2015 when the obama administration was in office is still in existence but it's in trouble gradually in 5 stages the iranian side has stepped back from some of the restrictions imposed on the deal the most recent this year is to no longer comply with the restrictions on the levels of enrichment of uranium it's carrying out a process that could be used to make a bomb weapons grade uranium is enrich to about 90 percent the response to this from the european side is to formally trigger the dispute mechanism set out in the deal one european diplomat has told me their country estimate is that iran is one to 2 years away from building. told the europeans have no plans at this stage to bring the issue back to the un security council that has the power to trigger

what's known as back reimposing all the international sanctions against iran the dispute mechanism allows for further negotiations and would take many months iran watches those say the leadership in tehran is actually less interested in this time line focused instead on the u.s. political calendar they're looking to november's presidential election with the hope they can trump out by al-jazeera the united nations. such as foreign minister has visited baghdad urged both the u.s. and iran to deescalate tensions there had been. met his iraqi counterpart. speaking at a joint news conference said every country should seek deescalation iraq has been caught in the middle of a major crisis between the us and iran after this us nation of military command.

last week iran responded by firing of missiles at 2 iraqi bases housing us troops. at a time of. this visit comes at a critical time witnessed by iraq and the region my visit aims at having talks with his ex and see the foreign minister of iraq about how to keep iraq away from conflict tensions are all over the place and everyone and every country have to decrease tensions that are together with some friendly countries is trying to decrease the tension we have made some contacts internationally for more consultations with our allies today we see signs of decreasing tensions and we hope these continues what. we discussed ways to decrease tension in our region we have our common efforts and allies where the iran or the united states our talks have been based on this relationship and we've concentrated on iraq not being seen the regional conflicts we support free navigation in the gulf and we need to go for countries to make their own decisions and supervise the freedom of maritime

a hunter who's at the demonstrations in beirut so tell us about the the atmosphere there. well 2nd night of violence in the streets of the lebanese capital behind me the main police barracks where the clashes began because demonstrators were camped outside the police barracks since late last night demanding the release of up to 50 protesters who were detained last night during another demonstration outside the central bank now according to anti-riot police the protesters tried to storm the police compound and that that is what triggered the response from from the police forces they used tear gas and what we saw on live television was anti-riot police really using excessive force beating up protesters there have been 30 injuries transferred to hospitals and there have been more arrests so people were camped out here demanding

the release of people who were detained last night last night in another neighborhood of beirut people were protesting outside the central bank against the government's financial policies the banking sector which has imposed capital controls preventing lebanese really from. accessing accessing their money because there has been a cap imposed on dollars as well as on the police pounds but last night it was different because it was an orchestrated campaign against the banking sector and there was a lot of vandalism and why people were upset today was that why did you are arrest this is the question they were posing to the authorities why did you arrest peaceful demonstrators and not those who were vandalizing banks and destroying cash machines you mentioned the u.n. envoy blaming the politicians for the dire state of the economy in lebanon and anger is escalating but that u.n. envoy is calling the situation in lebanon dangerous chaos there is

a political vacuum there is no government there's been no government since october the end of october it's now the 4th month since a protest movement began to unseat and to. the political class the political class is not leaving in fact they're bickering amongst themselves over ministerial portfolios instead of coming up with a plan to rescue and save this country there is near economic collapse people are losing their jobs salaries have been cut in half and like i mentioned people not people cannot access their deposits in banks so this tension this frustration is growing and yesterday the anti-establishment protest movement announced what they're calling a week of rage they're probably promising rallies and and protest actions over the coming days to put more pressure on those in power to leave office but like i mentioned this is going to be a very hard battle to win those in power have been in power for 3 decades and to a certain extent they do control the security apparatus so it's

a dangerous political vacuum levanon has seen this situation in the past but right now there is a near economic collapse and lebanon is a need of foreign support international aid but the international community has made it very very clear if we are not happy with the next cabinet if it is not a cabinet made up of quote experts and people who are bent on fighting corruption then this country is not going to get the international aid that it needs to thank you very much. still to come on this hour. venezuela is opposition leader accuses the military of an ambush after his convoy is attacked in caracas. beaten but not broken students in india say they'll continue to protest against the government even after their campus was attacked. and his sport baseball's cheating scandal season not a manager far as far as the details coming up later this hour. hello

there are still some pretty clear conditions across central areas of europe that is apart from the fog of course that has been lingering sadly over the last several days but a system in the east and the med we will keep an eye on that it is of course cool some rain with it but out across the west it is all about the rain the high winds and the snow look at this this is dawlish down in devon and you can see this actually trying trying to come by and sure enough massive waves just breaking over this and then you had to the north into scotland the same system of course in that cold air has been coming down as snow so another train working its way across the highlands and again plenty of problems of course on the roads trying to keep the roads clear of all that snow so what is going to happen next well on thursday there's a slight break in that some rain and also that snow but there's another system just

waiting in the wings and this will sweep in as we go through the day bringing rain again across much of the u.k. heavy snow again to the mountains and look at this very heavy rain as well particularly heavy down into northern spain and also northern sections of portugal maybe about 165 millimeters of rain elsewhere it is fine and quiet but there is a change by friday that high pressure which is being dominant beginning to actually break down so the rain beginning to push across into areas of france heavy at times and finally some snow to the alps. join africa's largest trade and investment bank in the wanda i.e.t.f. gives you access to more than 1100 exhibitors and 10000 visitors and baez and more than 5000 conference delegates from more than 55 countries participate in trade and investment deals with $40000000000.00 u.s. dollars as business and government come together to explore business and networking opportunities at the international exhibit which will include a creative africa exchange by the african export import bank and their premium

a bigger eruption could be on its way the tower volcano is 60 kilometers from the capital manila will have 350 earthquakes have been recorded since sunday indicating magma is rising scientists are calling for the area to be evacuated and say up to 1000000 people should leave government buildings and schools have been closed in several towns and cities including manila because of flooding ash terminal into got reports. these coast guard c. a hazardous eruption could happen any time and trigger a volcanic tsunami on these waters and the need to ensure that the thousands of boats in the area really anchored. there are those who refused to leave not minding the danger on the lake so we are here because really to make sure that those are the thirds. we are now. kilometers from no but what we're seeing is just a fraction of the total area that the philippine coast guard actually called for

by have to the forces to this seize fire accord over the past few days including shelling residential areas who have to militants from the city of daraa who are the main stronghold for half his forces and the major supporters of have to forces in the west of libya they attacked a pro-government patrol. on a checkpoint on the way between tripoli and misrata meanwhile the head of the high state council her little machete stated that the reason why house did not sign the cease fire called and moscow is that because he has been advised by local and regional allies not to sign that sees fire accord the situation remains very unstable currently and meanwhile the government says that you and the bag the prime minister face of ours has just got an invitation from the german foreign minister to attend a meeting in berlin this sunday scientists say the past few years with

the warmest on record and there's no doubt manmade climate change was to blame 2019 was the 2nd hottest year ever recorded by the u.s. national oceanic and atmospheric administration at nearly a degree above the 100 year average as a whole the agency said the 20 ten's were 1.4 degrees warmer than the 20th century as a whole and the world meteorological organization warns that the world heading for another $3.00 to $5.00 degrees of warming in the next century. gavin schmidt is that director of the god institute for space studies and that was one of the organizations participated in the study he joins us now via skype from boston thanks for being with us so tell us what's new about this study that you will put together. well the only thing that's new is really the we've just added one more data point which is the data from 2019 but what's important about these these

reports is that that one extra data point joins the last 5 data points as being the warmest years in that record that the last decade is the warmest decade in that record and the trends that we're seeing that are confirmed by by weather forecast by by satellite imagery by changes in ice and sea level and the rest of it those trends are ongoing and are having impacts right now and you're calling it as unequivocally a result of human influence on the client is that right is not to do with other flukes and so on no so i mean we've looked at this very carefully so we looked at all the natural things that could be going on the sun the volcanoes which will force in what was in the earth's orbit but they just can't explain what's been happening they are so far away from from what they actually occurred that there has to be something else and when we put in the human impacts and all of the different

human impacts you know deforestation air pollution zone pollution greenhouse gases all the rest of it what we find is that the greenhouse gases explain those trends very very well and in fact the totality of human activities of gives us the trends that we actually see that in the real demand on monday we had scientists saying that 29000 was the warmest yet recorded in the sea is now in the air temperature the warmest it is a situation worse than than people have thought even. i'm not telepathic i don't know what people have thought but it is the same situation that we have been telling people about for many years and predicting ahead of time we when we predicted that the that the rate of change would be as as it is and the models that we put together even in the 1970 s. in the 1980 s. predicted the changes in temperatures that we're seeing now and we understand wind that's happening so sure that i mean there are people that don't want to see that

but there are people who are who have been following the science to understand exactly how solid a case this is is it still reversible. so no it's not reversible on our choices are really to to keep our foot on the accelerator and to to keep increasing at an ever increasing rate or to slow it down and those are our choices we can through actions to reduce carbon emissions are slowed down what's going on and perhaps stabilize the climates a day at a reasonable temperature depending on how heroic those mitigation efforts are yet i mean are they aims for instance in the paris climate agreement strong enough or without countries like the us involved. in signed up to any of these targets what hope is there of of making the changes that you suggested necessary. so that that's a that's not really a question for a scientist you know that's a very it's
