al-jazeera. hello i'm adrian figure this is the live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes that the trial proceeds impeachment charges against president donald trump are read out of the u.s. senate a judge will be sworn in in an hour. libyan war khalifa haftar tells germany that he may join talks in berlin as the u.n. offers more let's see if there's a ceasefire. on a cease fire side russian warplanes strike in syria province despite a deal that's supposed to protect civilians. on. the top stories from europe

including ministers from the 5 countries which lost citizens in the czech shut down over tehran iran to take full responsibility. and i'm far as small have all the day's sport including the competitors on the dakar rally have the finish line insights all the details coming up later. one month after he became only the 3rd u.s. president to be impeached formal proceedings against donald trump have begun in the u.s. senate within the past hour the charges against him have been read out in the senate trump is charged with abuse of power for threatening to withhold military aid to ukraine and exchange for political favor he's also charged with obstruction of congress house managers of the u.s. house of representatives outlined the charges during an official reading of the

articles of impeachment the trial itself is expected to start next week donald j. trump has abused the powers of the presidency in that. using the powers of his high office president trump solicited the interference of a foreign government ukraine in the 2020 united states presidential election he did so through a scheme or course of conduct that included soliciting the government of ukraine to publicly announce investigations that would benefit his reelection. harm the election prospects of a political opponent and influence the 2020 united states presidential election to his advantage let's go live now to capitol hill castro is there for us so heidi where all talk us through what we saw over the last hour or so that. walk of the house manages from the house through the senate. that's right it wasn't just the

motions that they were going through really that walk across presents a key threshold in this impeachment process transferring the power of impeaching president trump from the u.s. house of representatives which of course is the democratic controlled chamber and transferring that power now to the senate a very different environment this is where we have the republican majority which is of course president trying to own party they will conduct the trial of president trump and officially this trial will kick off in just about an hour's time that is when chief justice justice john roberts of the u.s. supreme court will be escorted into the senate chambers he will be administered and oath to become the presiding officer of this trial and then he will immediately in turn swear in the $100.00 senators to become the impartial jurist to decide whether or not president trump remains in office now that word impartial has been

much dissected in this sense because the very leader of this body mitch mcconnell the top republican in the senate he started off by saying that he had no intention of being impartial that he wanted he and his members to defend the president and his claim of innocence well regardless they will be taking this oath and then starting on next tuesday that is will expect opening statements from both sides democrats documenting what they say is trump's guilty actions of that with. holding the u.s. security aid to ukraine in order to pressure its government to announce investigations into trump's political opponents here in the u.s. the president has said he will send his attorneys to defend him in those opening arguments after that we don't know if they could call for more witnesses that's something that democrats certainly want but they want kept that happen without at least some republican support but even

a thanks indeed let's bring in our white house correspondent kimberly how could reaction if any has that been to all of this from the white house to believe. yeah a couple of important tweets from the white house press secretary stephanie grisham who has said in just the last half hour obstruction of congress force one of the articles against the president she says the speaker holding the articles for 4 weeks before sending them to the u.s. senate and the other article against the president she responds to abuse of power the house refusing to give the president due process anyone notice the democrats always accuse potest the president of the united states of actions they themselves are guilty of doing question mark exclamation point it's safe to say that the white house is doing what it can to discredit the proceedings that will kick off on tuesday we expect in the u.s. senate stephanie gerson the white house press secretary also trying to get out there in the headlines what should have been a shining moment for the u.s. president that's the passage of

a major trade deal that he renegotiated with mexico and canada to replace now after that allowed for many manufacturing jobs to evaporate in this country it was a major campaign promise it also got passed in the u.s. senate today but no one's talking about it except the press secretary who writes after yesterday's historic trade deal with china and the u.s. m.c.a. pass today the dems are now reading their sham articles of impeachment which they manufactured she says in order to stop real donald trump from his can sit continued success on behalf of the united states he's working there whining so again some of sort of that nasty language being used to try and discredit the process that is going on in the u.s. senate against u.s. president donald trump a white house correspondent kimberly how could live for us there washington baron is a form especially impeachment counsel to the house of representatives he was involved in the impeachment and removal of 4 federal judges island joins us now live from washington island all those articles of impeachment bernie fractured as the press

circuitry claims. you know they are all based on the evidence that was presented in the house. indeed with regard to the book both articles there is really no dispute as to the fact. i don't think anybody has an illusions that as to whether or not the facts that are alleged in the articles whether in fact those. are true what it's really going to boil down is to raul political power in the senate who has the votes but there's no ambiguity as to what the facts are in both instances so what sort of trial will this be will republican senate be impartial as they require ads in fact they will swear an oath to be. the answer is no. they may not make that they have the figure leaf so to speak of the oath but even though they may not have committed themselves ahead of time as to

how they're going to vote we can expect that there will be few if any defections from the republican ranks on the merits it is perhaps unfortunate that the oath that they take really puts them in this difficult position but reality tells you that their positions are pretty well fixed before they hear one word of evidence and what do you think of the articles of impeachment themselves when they were read out by by adam schiff. well there they're very powerful i mean it was very solemn the way mr ship presented them and anyone listening to that who had not completely pre-judge that this was all you know a sham and should not be taking place you had to be impressed with the the facts that were being laid out there that this really goes to the heart of of the presidency of the power of the presidency to engage

a foreign government with regard to the 1st article and to use that relationship for his own political purposes and the 2nd article which is taken sort of a back seat a little bit but in fact it subverts the entire constitutional process of impeachment it basically says you can't stonewall the house when it's trying to carry out its constitutional duty and that is in the essence of what the 2nd article alleges and what about the today's revelation that an associate of the president's own lawyer has been saying that the president or only was all too aware of what was going on is that going to make any difference. well if the republicans do not allow new testimony new evidence to come in i think they will do that at their peril they may not pay for it here in this

proceeding in this impeachment trial but i believe they will pay for it at the ballot box in november there is a large group of potential voters who are watching this proceeding they haven't made up their minds they want to hear what the evidence is and if one side stonewalls and there's no better word for it they prevent that evidence from being presented to the american people it's hard to believe that they will not pay a very heavy price for trying to put and pull the wool over the american electorate goods to have his service better many thanks indeed for being with us thank you. funny more to come here on the news hour including fears of a volcanic tsunami in the philippines sent thousands fleeing their homes as others defy evacuation notices. poland polarized by the arts of become a battleground for the country's political divisions. and the world's best players

gear up for the straight opening bell would follow be here a little later with all the details. there are new diplomatic efforts to end the civil war in libya germany's foreign minister has flown to the libyan city of benghazi for crisis talks with the renegade warlord khalifa haftar. the foreign minister says that after has agreed in principle to a cease fire he may join the libya conference on sunday in berlin the prime minister of the un backed government is also expected to attend an hours ago turkey's president announced the deployment of troops to libya has begun the deployment comes off to ankara agreed last months to come to the aid of the libya's un backed government fighting near the capital tripoli has resumed following the failure of peace talks in moscow on monday after us forces have been trying to

capture the capital for the past 9 months and the united nations is ready to be part of the cease fire initiative diplomatic it's a james bays is following developments from un headquarters. all the attention is on general half ahead of this meeting in berlin because what was supposed to happen in moscow the russians and the turks on different sides of this war came together and bought the 2 key figures prime ministers the rajan general have to moscow to sign that cease fire deal sorites signed half dar didn't so the next stage an international gathering of all the key players will have all the key european leaders leaders from the region the u.s. is not really their leader level we don't believe president trump will be but all the other leaders will be there to move on to the next phase but clearly they still don't have the signature from one man general have to if though they get that signature i can tell you things could move very fast indeed there's

a lot of discussion going on here in new york about a monitoring mission to monitor a cease fire if one comes into force and one of the models for this you remember there's been a shaky cease fire in the port of her day in yemen for about a year and the u.n. has been there monitoring that that's one of the models for this what they try and do is set up a joint commission which would have 5 representatives from hafter side 5 from surat which would be the sort of body that would monitor the cease far but of course policed by the u.n. but whether the actual monitors would be the u.n. isn't clear i'm told that's one option but they're also looking at the possibility of using monitors from the arab league the african union all the european union and 07 costello is in istanbul and says the turkish troops will only play an advisory role. presents are gone actually repeated the reality that was already on the ground because since turkey and the un back government d.n.a.

has signed a detailed corp agreement on security and defense some turkish troops have already been deployed. the military doesn't exactly reside and number about how many troops have been deployed but my sources on the ground told me today that there are around 18185 turkish troops who are on advisory and military training mission not combat mission so far turkish military hasn't stated anything about a potential size of the turkish troops that are going to be deployed in the we are to support the jna but what we know was that the turkish military deployment in libya is going to be non-combat they're just going to be advising the jna forces and they're going to be it training them to tripoli and our libya correspondent rockwood up the word says that turkish military assistance is already help the

internationally recognized government defend the capital. half the us forces have been striving over the past few months to get into into the capital city center but they have not so far because of the turkish military existence as he said in the form of troops or advanced weapons remember that the government of national called said several times that. that a quest the official request. to turkey to send troops and weapons because the government says it is the only libyan legitimate institution by virtue of. legitimacy it can request officially from another government military assistance and that's the same president of the un said in several occasions he said that we we will not mind to send troops and weapons to libya as long as we receive an official request official invitation from legitimate government the government of

national accord said several times that if have to as a legitimate. leader is that a good unofficial mercenaries from my russia or from african countries like sudan and chad then the government believe that it is their right it is its right to. to request help from another legitimate government as long as it's defending itself and also it's facing the aggression by have to its forces on the capital tripoli. is an international security and politics analyst he says the turkey will escalate the situation on the ground if early for after doesn't agree to a cease fire of the berlin talks. not only from the turkish side but also there will be in other countries including russia from my point of perspective because when we take a look at the half dollars for shoes years as a war or as an aircraft or

a guided missile systems which is coming from france united arab emirates but the intelligence who is planning all kind of warfare is coming 'd most was coming mostly from the russian private military contractors so if he thinks that we can overthrow the government of national accord which is backed by the united nations we thought the support of russia and the turkish forces was fighting in the name of the government of nation accord probably he is not calculating some issues according to in my opinion after the berlin summit if the thing score in the negative side because from my point of course back then everyone still thinks optimistic yet till till monday but if on monday after that believes that he will fight against a government of national accord turkey will deploy special forces including

electronical wealthier units in order to. keep in effect it is drawn systems and also air defense systems which will look a little hot there as aircraft forces will not be able to operate from the air. russian and syrian warplanes have resumed attacks on the last rebel held province at least $21.00 civilians have been killed in a day of in recent days that's despite a cease fire that was supposed to have started on sunday the white helmets rescue group has recorded well that a dozen violations of the cease fire 0 scotty lopez hayam reports. the damage caused by one of several air strikes in the northwest province of it put survivors trying to salvage what's left i emergency crews combed the rubble to recover the body of a child was that the other civilians were among the casualties and it lit city.

did it have a jihad in the afternoon it lapses he was targeted by stick or 23 jets they hit the industrial area and alcohol markets and most of those hurt have serious injuries. in a nearby hospital friends console a father grieving his son was a ceasefire which started on sunday was shattered on one so. it was in syrian and russian jets attacked it the city as well as several rebel held town. the ceasefire was brokered by turkey which supports the rebels and russia which backed the syrian government's 9 month offensive. fighters link to al qaeda are the strongest forces in these areas home to around 3000000 civilians according to the u.n. close 240-0000 syrians have been forced from their homes and it lives in the past

10 weeks no tents no shelter no food people are starving to death and this governor and they're not being bombed they're dying because they're hungry the kremlin says it's targeted rebels who've attacked the building government held areas and what's supposed to be a so-called d s. russia and turkey are reported to have been to go sheeting the establishment of a secure zone for the displaced during the winter and russia has announced humanitarian corridors have already been established to allow people in in clip to cross over into government held territory it's unclear how many have chosen to go. this with a yawn al-jazeera more than 5000000 children have been displaced since the conflict began 9 years ago that's according to the u.n. which says that abuse is rife a report by the un commission of inquiry for syria says that warring parties on both sides have killed maimed and subjected children to serious violations pro-government forces used cluster munitions and chemical weapons sexual violence

and torture were used against men women and children thousands of schools have been destroyed or used for military purposes of more than 2000000 boys and girls are not attending classes regularly and even galli is a member of the un commission of inquiry on syria which released that report and says the majority of children dying in syria could have been saved. we're seeing children who have been dying not just because of the bombings and the sieges but today as we speak children are dying because of the lack of humanitarian access and the lack of medical care and poor conditions but i guess for me what's been shocking is to look at what hope there is for children in syria today going forward we're still as i said seeing preventable deaths education is now devastated and you know in what way will they be able to catch up to we're talking

a generation that has lost schooling you know $5000000.00 displaced internally and externally right now obviously the 1st thing that could be done is everybody stops bombing schools and facilities that children need that's pretty going forward and what we've said in the report is we need. to start rebuilding these places so children can be back at school rather than be out about out on the streets or involve them in the conflict etc we need to be looking at the medical facilities and and the humanitarian assistance that children need desperately because they're dying you know which is quite remarkable that at this stage we're still reporting we were reporting on children dying when they were sieges when nobody could get in and out but you know why should children die in italy bridgeman. no there's nothing really that should be preventing international humanitarian assistance other than

bureaucracies and un resolutions and lack of cooperation on the part of of states facing pressure at home and abroad iran's president says the dialogue is still possible in a televised speech has some rouhani insisted that he wants to prevent war but he also said that iran has now surpassed the radium enrichment limits set on the 2015 nuclear deal iran is accusing europe of yielding to u.s. bullying for triggering a dispute mechanism that could reimpose u.n. sanctions on tehran. when the u.s. pulled out of the nuclear deal we contacted the other party and expressed our preparedness to fulfill our obligations however today we in terms of the nuclear power we have no limit we are in a much better situation compared to before the deal our uranium enrichment today it's much higher than that stipulated in the deal we had signed we cannot sit on

iran initially denied responsibility for the crash a plane technical failure but later admitted that it shot down the aircraft mistaking it for a u.s. cruise missile it happened several hours after iran launched a ballistic missile strike against u.s. forces in iraq in response to the u.s. drone killing of top iranian general kassim solo money and investigations now underway in iran experts from several countries have been allowed to provide technical assistance in the probe ukrainian experts are analyzing the plane's black box data recorders but so far few details have been released getting to the heart of what happened to flight p.s. 752 will require cooperation between all of the countries involved but in recent days rhetoric surrounding iran's controversial nuclear program has escalated and now the u.k. france and germany threatening new sanctions against the country. the deal was

culture wars being waged between liberals and conservatives. the head of one regional councils actually refused to take part in this year's fundraiser claiming the event had become political this year was supposed to be in on the. husband who was murdered i asked dumb of which is we're doing now a center left member of the european parliament and campaigner against hate speech what she made of that maybe they are not aware bad day or sell of there is a lot of hate there is a lot of maybe disappointment in daily life and a half. bad ideas but as we're seeing in the air by year we have a new. record we gather more in. some polls sympathetic to the ruling lower and justice party see the charities founded. as a left wing of his politics are at odds with traditional values. it's

a list of the charges against trump a short time ago he's charged with abuse of power and obstruction of congress. turkey's president says the deployment of troops to libya has begun it comes as german foreign minister flew into the region for talks with the volatile khalifa haftar ahead of a libya conference in berlin on sunday. russian syrian warplanes resumed attacks on the idiom syria's last remaining rebel held office at least 21 people have been killed in recent days despite a cease fire that was supposed to have started on sunday. pakistan's foreign minister says that the taliban has shown a willingness to reduce violence in neighboring afghanistan sharma both caray she made the comments despite stalled talks between the group and the us the taliban wants a full withdrawal of all foreign troops and refuses to hold direct talks with the afghan government the u.s. says that any withdrawal deal must have security guarantees pakistan has helped to

mediate efforts to try to end the conflict. because the taliban have shown their willingness to reduce the violence which was a demand and i believe that this is a step towards an agreement towards a peace agreement i was a series is in kabul and says that there's some uncertainty over what exactly the announcement will mean in practice. what the significance is of this latest announcement of what many are calling a cease fire what the taliban are referring to is a reduction in violence the significance really depends on what happens next now from our part here the bureau in kabul we've spoken to members in the leadership structure of the taliban both here in afghanistan and as part of the negotiating team in doha in qatar and what we've been told is that they cannot confirm exactly how long a ceasefire would be the initial reports were suggesting between a week to 10 days they do not want to confirm any specific timeline but they can say that they have agreed in principle in a letter that was delivered to the u.s.

negotiators for a short reduction in violence and that reduction in violence language is very important here they were keen not to call it a cease fire they acknowledge that perhaps that is what many are referring to it as actionable on the ground that is likely what it may look like if an agreement is reached but they're keen not to call it specifically a cease fire referring to it as a reduction in violence because they don't want to interrupt any sort of. they don't want to cause any sort of disruption within their ranks the taliban are very focused on the fact that within the ranks of their own organization there is a great deal of skepticism when it comes to negotiating with the united states the taliban also know that their biggest bargaining chip that the main power source they have in any sort of talks is their ability to have military strength and their ability to carry out violent attacks both on the provincial and district level. the palestinian authority says that it will complain to the un after israel's defense

minister or the rawest 7 new nature reserve in the occupied west bank a palestinian environmental force he says that israel has already ok part. of its 52 nature reserves israel as pope will the 250 illegal settlements of the occupied west bank and 600000 israelis al-jazeera is needed abraham reports from. the jordan valley and the occupied west bank. hill don't know the exact locations of the areas israel is to the clear as need to preserve what a man there is one of them is really fully controls more than 60 percent of the occupied west bank so building is already not allowed but these measures are expected to impose more restrictions particularly on farmers and shepherds need to preserve those military areas and historical floyds are all seen here as part of

a policy that aims to drive palestinians. you know arm in arm about some of the many people have already left because of the lack of grazing land and these are really harassment they sold all the sheep and if it keeps getting worse i will leave to this israeli defense minister neftali bennett has made the announcement bennett is a right wing politician who usually gets to support from israelis residing in illegal settlements this comes a few weeks before the israeli elections and is considered the way for bennett to shore up his the poor among his base no palestinian officials are saying that israeli politicians use an anti palestinian rhetoric just to win more votes. the u.s. and china have signed an additional deal marking a poor sin the trade dispute that stammers both countries' economies but the pact only remove some of the u.s. tariffs on chinese imports and hasn't resolved all of the difficulties in the 2 superpowers relationship the training in reports from beijing.

it was an elaborate ceremony some 200 cabinet members lawmakers and executives surrounding u.s. president donald trump as he described a trade deal with china as historic. today we take a momentous step one that has never been taken before with china toward a future fair in reciprocal trade as we signed 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 and the sentiment said by china's chief trade negotiator. draw me down 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 are properly reaching the phase one try to agreement it is good for china for the united states and the

world you know hurt his u.s. purchases be made according to chinese market demand and the agreement which affect trade with other countries but some believe beijing has promised more than it's able to deliver those looks to me a very big concession on china's side and i genuinely don't see how china can fall for his commitment of $200000000000.00 more dollars a purchase from the u.s. well 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 to many problems in the u.s. china relationship remains unresolved 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 in the white house both sides
