a huge the senate's reception of the articles marks the beginning of the trial phase of crumbs impeachment the $100.00 u.s. senators will soon be sworn in as jurors with arguments to begin next week republicans hold the majority in the senate and their leader mitch mcconnell has voiced strong opposition to the impeachment if the senate blesses this unprecedented and diverse house process by agreeing to complete case at a subject of business or enough to impeach a president. we will almost guarantee the impeachment of every future president of either party or the house like that bird trump is only the 3rd president in u.s. history to be impeached he denies the allegations that he withheld u.s. security aid to ukraine in order to pressure ukraine's president volodymyr zelinsky to announce an investigation into joe biden new evidence continues to emerge in the case on tuesday impeachment investigators released text messages and notes from an

associate of trump's private attorney rudy giuliani get the lewinsky to announce that the biden case will be investigated wrote the associate who had been dispatched to ukraine and in a letter addressed to the president of ukraine giuliani says he is acting with trump's knowledge and consent witnesses may tell the truth and witnesses may not tell the truth documents joe generally like whether the new documents or potential new witnesses will play a role in trump's trial is an open question the president's defenders say no the polling shows the majority of americans think the senators should hear new evidence in order to have a fair trial the senate is on trial as well as the president does the senate conduct the trial according to the constitution to vindicate the republic or does the senate participate in the president's crimes by covering them up at least 4

republican senators would need to agree to open the trial to new witnesses that's possible but the odds for conviction and remove all are much steeper support from 20 senate republicans will be required to make that happen but a historic trial of a president is now guaranteed heidi joe castro al-jazeera washington. while this was going on though the u.s. and china were also signing an initial deal to pause their trade war that's damaged both countries' economies it's intended to open chinese markets to more u.s. companies but at the same time it keeps most of the terrace president trump placed on chinese goods mike hanna reports from washington. it was a lovely white house ceremony crowded with have to members lawmakers and executives from large u.s. corporations president trump hailed the deal as remarkable. today we

take a momentous step one that has never been taken before with china toward a future fair and reciprocal trade as we saw in phase one of the historic trade deal between the united states and china together we are righting the wrongs of the past and delivering a future of economic justice and security for american workers farmers and families . sentiments echoed by china's signatory to the deal. for. china and the united states with the larger picture in mind have taken a serious approach to our differences and work to manage them or appropriately reaching the phase one try to greenmount it is good for china for the united states and the world. the reality though that this is just an initial deal and many problematic issues the u.s. and china relationship remain an address i think that has moved the needle

a little bit with with china and it has made some progress but at the same time i don't think that it achieves the fundamental structural changes that are going to need to happen for us. the u.s. tech sector in particular to really feel comfortable for president trump's political opponents insist he's been outsmarted by his chinese counterpart i greatly fear that president xi is laughing at us behind our backs for having given away so little at the expense of american workers farmers and businesses the administration in order to get a deal at all costs before the 2020 alexion has thrown the american worker in american business overboard and they're going to be the ones who have to face the consequences and that's the smiles and celebrations the awareness that this is not an end to the trade war as it is at the stage really the truth mike hanna al-jazeera washington. so up until this point the world's 2 largest economies been

locked in this bitter trade battle 18 months it's been going on really the u.s. president has long accused china of unfair trading practices and intellectual property theft china believes the u.s. is just trying to curb its rise as a global economic power so far the u.s. imposed tariffs on more than $360000000000.00 worth of chinese goods china retaliated as much as it could with more than $110000000000.00 of u.s. products his thoughts of dunn wang now who is an analyst the economist intelligence unit she believes china has given up more than the u.s. in this new deal. this looks to me a very big concession on china's side and i genuinely don't see how china can fulfill its commitment of $200000000000.00 more dollars a purchase from the us will without increasing its fiscal subsidies to domestic producers manufacturers dramatically and if china along the way of those 2 years.

actually cannot fulfill some of the commitment and then we're expecting to see a collapse of the 1st one deal and that means the phase 2 and phase 3 will never happen it looks like for example agriculture in this phase one deal it is more than twice the amount of the $27000.00 level and in order to do that actually a lot of the domestic producers farmers will sell for a watch on china was certainly increase its government purchase prices and expand that program but overall competition with chinese domestic farmers started mostly small scale and in that area china is not competitive and another thing that's funny to me is that by signing this deal actually china has to commit to buy more agriculture goes from the u.s. and that means buy a lot less from other countries for example canada and the e.u. and by signing this studio in fact between china and the u.s. it is china it is the u.s.

putin to introduce sweeping changes to the constitution putin who just made his state of the new union address in which he proposed an increase in parliament's power as well as an enhanced role for the state council and support the journal. 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. we as the government of the russian federation should provide the president of our country with the opportunity to make all necessary changes to the political system . in the annual 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 move as 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 political. the main result of putin's address tweeted kremlin critic alexis novell me what kind of idiots and or crooks are 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 this more is intended to change the political structure of the russian government and sasha way. to possibly move to a different position from which he will be able to do so. but the mayor putin has said nothing of his intentions post presidency but he could be planning a repeat of these 2008 move to become prime minister or take on another senior role a weakened presidency might pave the way for russia's longest serving leader since stalin take power with him when he goes to own a home al jazeera. sudan has reopened its airspace after an armed revolt led to the death of at least 2 soldiers and the closure of the capital's airport members of the former security service which is linked to the deposed ruler or whatever sheer

are quite small but we have been with a group of vulcanologist who been out checking for sulfur dioxide in the air which gives a much clearer indication of just how much activity there is still in the volcano and it does show that this is a volcano which still potentially is very dangerous 1st we have around 5000 tons then the next days have been lower around 1600 but yesterday it's up again to 4600 so you don't expect really to have constant value but then it's very important for us and each and every day how we devalue sproat progress and there's been some criticism of philippines volcanologists that they weren't able to predict the scale of this eruption especially as activity was detected many evolves ago but then this volcano just goes to prove that even with all of their expertise
