middle east some nato members are reluctant to send more troops in but the secretary general yan stoltenberg says there is a need to ensure i.c.l. is defeated with iraqi security forces have reopened a bridge in central baghdad the had been blocked since anti-government protests are said last year it's part of efforts to restore normalcy in the capital just less than 2 weeks often hum a toughie callao we was designated prime minister so wonderful to have all. sinek bridge here in baghdad has reopened for the 1st time since anti-government demonstrations began and of october you can once again see traffic is moving across this bridge over the river tigris now of course this bridge has been extremely important throughout the protests and has been the location of some of the major standoffs between protesters and government forces we have seen some major attacks against the most heinous occur on this bridge so as of now we only have one bridge

that still remains closed here in the bucket of course what the demonstrators have been trying to do here is to obstruct bridges and roads as part of a civil disobedience campaign to try to bring daily life to a hold they want to prevent people from going about going to work they want to prevent businesses from operating all as part of an effort to try to force the government to listen to their demands well since the appointment of mohamed tawfik allow we as the prime minister designate shia cleric monk that al sadr who has until now mostly supported the demonstrators has called on them to open up roads to open up bridges in penalties against those who don't complain of course the demonstrators will not be happy about the opening of this bridge but some people are likely to welcome this move because as you can see here there are a lot of businesses who are located in proximity to this bridge in proximity to this road and they have suffered greatly as a result of this closure they have been called up inside clashes between the

demonstrators and security forces we have seen even some of these shops being burned in the clashes between those 2 sides so these business owners are likely to welcome the return of normal life like it's written to see an increase in business once again now it remains to be seen how to demonstrators will react to this move and whether they will try to retake this bridge of course we have. in the front lines if you want to call them all of these demonstrations have shifted from one place to another but the cynic which has always been very important for the demonstrators and some of them have said that they will try to take it back to what we have to watch and see how the security forces will react we have seen security forces the port on top of this bridge and it remains to be whether one protesters will try to retake this area where the security forces will use force to make sure that this bridge and these streets will remain open. parliament has cleared the way

for a controversial far right politician to go on trial but can now be prosecuted for kidnapping after the senate lifted enjoyed as a former interior minister a conviction over his decision to keep more than 100. last year could potentially and his political career turn her explained. as italy's interior minister. had promised his rightwing support base that he would reduce immigration across the mediterranean from libya. so in july last year when he refused to allow $131.00 migrants to disembark in sicily salvini was keeping his word but prosecutors say he was also breaking the law and a vote that has narrowly gone against him in the italian senate means his immunity as a former minister is lifted and a trial can go ahead. the migrants spent 6 more days aboard the bruno gregory to rescue ship or salvini waited for other european nations to take them in italy it

insisted would no longer shoulder the migrant burden alone now at a sensitive time in italian politics with regional elections due on sunday salvini may try to turn the possibility of legal action to his advantage. my children have the right to know that their father is often away from home not because he's spending time kidnapping human beings but because he is defending the borders and security of his country. that this was his precise duty it was not his right it was his duty. this is a kind of historic thing in italy. silvio berlusconi used to do the same thing so when he was under trial he was accusing. the judges and the prosecutors trying to boost his popularity this way depicting yourself as a victim of the system what selvi need did could have fatal consequences for the far right politician who hopes one day to be prime minister charges of illegally

detaining migrants on the grid to retie kidnapping in other words could result in a jail sentence of up to 15 years the conviction would in still be a nice political career journal whole al-jazeera. is president donald trump has declined to say whether he's considering pardoning his longtime adviser raja stone who was found guilty last chair of lying to congress obstruction and witness tampering trump has thanked the justice department for retracting a recommendation estancia faced up to 9 years in prison are you considering a pardon i don't want to say that i did but i tell you what people were heard viciously and barely by these corrupt people and i want to think if you look at what happened i want to thank the justice department for seeing this this horrible thing and i didn't speak to him by the way just so you understand basically the horrible those of a 9 year sentence for doing nothing you have heard or is a drug addict you don't get 9 years 90 years for doing something that nobody really

can defy what he did with a white house correspondent kimberly hellcat joins us live now so clearly president trying arius writing what he said before about roger stone being treated very badly that's what he says but we don't know whether or not he's considering a pardon for roger stone. we don't know if he's considering a pardon many people believe though if you sort of understand trump speak that that is a signal that's exactly what he intends to do regardless the defense by the president of the department of justice decision to downgrade the sentence for roger stone a longtime friend of the president's and the man who worked on his campaign certainly sparking outrage there have been top democrats who have stood up in the house rather in the u.s. senate calling not only for public hearings into the stone case but even for an independent inquiry in the justice department to see whether the protocols were

handled essentially what the concern is here is that on the heels of the u.s. president being acquitted of the charge of abuse of presidential powers that he is now acting with impunity not only in this case but also in the dismissal on friday of 2 of those witnesses that testified against donald trump in the impeachment case it's really sparking outrage here in the united states particularly among those who do not support the president fact an online petition has been formed there are now tens of thousands of names on that because petition calling for a further investigation but again the president is not backing down because he believes he is doing exactly what he was elected to do remember perhaps in 2060 in the president's drain the swamp rallying cry of the campaign trail well that's exactly what's going on here is the president is now moving forward essentially getting rid of the liberal bureaucrats that he believes are part of the so-called

washington establishment that he also believes are really the enemies of american conservatives so expect that the president will continue to defend these actions and potentially take even further action as he also seeks to win reelection in 2020 thank you very much for the latest on that story can we how can our white house correspondent. now pope francis has dismissed a proposal to let older married men become priests bishops from latin america but for the controversial plan to address a shortage of priests in the amazon it would have challenged the roman catholic tradition of celibacy but the pontiff says the solution to the priest shortage is to send missionaries to the region john heilemann has more now from rio de janeiro . the probably will be a bit of disappointment especially as it was like an american bishops who forward this proposal last october i think important to clarify the proposal was that the priests who were already all day and should be allowed to then get married it was

over the sorts of married men of some standing in these communities be allowed to them to make up for a bit of a chronic shortage of priests in the region this is a region that's composed of knowing countries really have parts and souls in the summers and region and it's estimated that at least 85 percent of the images in the arms of region on able to celebrate mass every week so there is a real show to cheer and this was one of the ideas to try and get to grips with it now the pope's instead said that another solution could be sending missionaries to this area instead of going for the other option which was older married men be being able to become priests and there will sort of a thaw in the move conservative part of the catholic church that this might be the thin end of the wedge that even the right now is very specific to the army as a region the worry was that it could spread and start and the tradition of celibacy in the catholic church and joining me now in the studio is commentator from the

charity catholic voices georgia clock tell us more about why the pope decided against easing rules on the practice of celibacy ok he hasn't actually decided against the practice you know or dating married men and he has basically just left the issue open he decided that there were there were other issues that were far more important to the people of the amazon region such as cultural social ecological and then there were ecclesial pastore considerations but he decided that actually this was an issue that needed to be dealt with right now so he's left open and it could be a possibility for the future could be a possibility for the future but right now he has decided not to pursue this recommendation he has less left this proposal alone yes and it was a small recommendation as pots. of the final document proposed from the senate and i think he just said look there are so many good ways in which the church is working there and yes there is a shortage but we can improve the seminaries and the way that has been taught there he spends 5 paragraphs i was really encouraged talking about working to encourage

women leaders in the area and saying look there are ways in which we can help women in their roles something that could be recognized by the bishop a stable position so that they can advance the faith to you have a shortage of clerics in the amazon and then on top of that those that are there have difficulties traveling around logistics can can be difficult so i mean i suppose the idea was that this would be a solution to parts of the world that are very remote why was the pope not convinced i think it's a it's a difficult issue but what he says is the must be a way in which we can transcend this divisive issue that must be ways that opens the holy spirit and open to the ways in which we can discern what the needs of the people are what is the way in which god is calling us to better the better the lives of these people and i don't think that that was at the forefront of his considerations there were very many other ways in which us as a universal church can help these people pope francis has something of

a reputation for advocating for reform will there be disappointment in some quarters that he didn't take up that this recommendation i think that there might be there might be disappointment but i think on the whole what he has said is so encouraging you know we need to change our lives we need to listen to the needs and the views of these people and we need to change our lives accordingly other ways in which we can live making those small decisions every day and actually that's a bigger that's a bigger challenge to us than than any sort of change in the in adoption would be but just to be clear the the practice of celibacy is tradition but not dogma which means there is some room for maneuver there it can be changed yes that's true it is it is tradition and here in the u.k. we do have married men who are priests who have come over from the church of england for example who were married and then they are able to be catholic priests after that so it's definitely something that could be changed in the future thank you very much georgia can't thank you. as much more still ahead on this news hour

natural world or risk losing trillions of dollars from the global economy that's the message from the world wildlife fund which mourns that the loss of natural assets like forests and fisheries will wipe off nearly $480000000000.00 a year by 2050 this amounts to a total of more than 10 trillion dollars over the course of the next 30 years unless the world changes to a more sustainable path the united states and japan stand to lose the most money with more than 61000000000 dollars being wiped off their annual g.d.p. by 2050 karen ellis is the director of the sustainable economy at the world wildlife fund she says poor countries will be hit even harder. we're destroying nature incredibly fast globally we're destroying the area of a size of a football pitch of forest every 2 seconds so what we wanted to do with this report was to look at the economic costs of that destruction so we used for the 1st time a new methodology that combines analysis of how nature delivers benefits to the

economy with the global economic trade model that looks at how economies sell goods to each other to look at how those nature losses will affect different countries in the world and it showed that overall we stand to lose at least 10 trillion dollars of global g.d.p. by 2050 so the the hardest hit countries in terms of percent of g.d.p. are of the poorest countries so a country like madagascar for example stands to lose 4 percent of g.d.p. per year by 2050 which is massive for for a country like madagascar would probably wipe out their growth prospects so yeah the poorest countries are the hardest hit but richer countries are the hardest hit in terms of absolute volumes of g.d.p. the u.s. japan and the u.k. other top 3 countries to be hit and for them the risks are more related to coast on ability increased coastal vulnerability as a result of sea level rise but also as we've destroyed some of the natural capital

things like sea grasses and mangroves and coral reefs that protect our coasts from storm surges and flooding so as a result of this nature loss they stand to lose a huge amount going forward. boeing is working to rebuild trust in its brand which has been severely dented after 2 fatal crashes with it 737 max jet companies hoping to get the planes which have been grounded for nearly a year back in the air company failed to book any new orders in january though as far as the reports seeing a more air show my provide an opportunity. it was once boeing's best selling plane but no one is placing new orders for the 737 max these. the planes have been grounded for 11 months after 2 crashes within 5 months killed 346 people for boeing the singapore is a chance to put out a message that it's handling this crisis head on we absolutely have to rebuild confidence in the airplane and that starts with getting it certified bringing it

back to service convincing the regulators that we've done the right thing that the changes to the airplane are right the manuals are right the training is right its focus is to have the mikes back in service by the middle of this year one of the 1st things that has to happen before the 737 max can fly again is a certification test flight 500 u.s. aviation regulator the head of that agency has hinted that the test flight could take place soon but the still no timetable for the lifting of the ban approval to fly will also have to be obtained from dozens of aviation authorities with more than $400.00 planes grounded around the world process to get all of those back in the air is not going to happen overnight is probably more like a year or 2 at least because they've got to go in they've got to service those planes it may not just be the impasse software that needs to be updated they may need to update software for the engines or lots of the other systems that are on the plane some supplies of boeing are laying off workers off to production of the

737 max was suspended last month and lines have had to cancel routes or keep. in service for longer one analyst says some adeline's could use this as an opportunity to reassess plans we could see you know air power lines that you know especially in this region that maybe don't need the airplanes in the media future. for their deliveries so the for taking a plane that would have been you know taken this year or next year for a few years the better manager passing by but many analysts say the longer the mag stays grounded the worse it will be not just for boeing but also the aviation industry florence 3 al-jazeera singapore. for more than 70 years tegel airport has been the main way for many millions of people to fly in an out of berlin but later this year is due to close to a close and to be replaced by a far larger airport which has been delayed by nearly
