. donald trump praises the verdicts calling the trial the because witchhunt in the country's history and hints at a possible political future. voters in kosovo picking members of the parliament in an election that could complicate efforts to resolve a territorial dispute with serbia. botha resurfaces in west africa health workers say at least 3 people have died in guinea and declare it an epidemic. i'm siding with sports serena williams is through to the quarterfinals of the australian open but men's 3rd field domenic team is out it's. so former u.s. president donald trump has been acquitted juror and impeachment trial for a 2nd time the senate found it not guilty of insight see an insurrection the verdict was expected but 7 republicans sided with democrats in favor of impeachment

trump was accused of encouraging his supporters to march on the capitol hill on january the 6th while senators were certifying joe biden's election when the official reports now from washington d.c. . 57. for ease 3 for a 2nd time donald trump acquitted of high crimes and misdemeanors by the u.s. senate john trunk former president tate's is not to go to is charged the charge he incited the crowd ahead of the violent riot at the capitol on january the 6th. 57 senators said he did including 7 republicans but that's not enough for the 2 thirds majority to convict this was about choosing country over donald trump and 43 republican members chose trump they chose trump it should be a weight on their conscience today the day started with

a surprise the democrats asking for witnesses a move which could delete the process we would like the opportunity to subpoena congresswoman herrera regarding her communications with house minority leader kevin mccarthy and to subpoena her contemporaneous notes that she made regarding what president trump told kevin mccarthy in the middle of the insurrection if they want to have witnesses. i'm going to need at least over 100 depositions not just one both sides though wanted to bring this to a quick end so reached agreement which meant new witnesses and the move to closing statements from the man who led the prosecution an appeal to senators to meet the moment senators this trial in the final analysis is not about donald trump the country in the world know who donald trump is this trial is about who we are

who we are this is almost certainly how you will be remembered by history that might not be fair you really buy not be fair but none of us can escape the demands of history and destiny right now trump's team so often echoed the ex president supports this impeachment has been a complete charade from beginning to and the entire spectacle expected cole has been nothing but the unhinged pursuit of a long standing political vendetta against mr trump by the opposition party it is time to bring this concept unconstitutional political theater to an end it is time to allow our nation to move forward with the result in donald trump made his 1st comment since the trial began a statement from his florida home thanking senators for their vote but insisting this is yet another phase in the greatest witch hunt in the history of our country

no president has gone through anything like it but one of his closest allies in the senate who voted to acquit him made it clear the former president bush responsible for what happened rather than trouble for everything he did while he was out of as an ordinary sort of a less structured lot of iran. for every day i had to watch it all and get away with any yet. the decision here means that donald trump will not be excluded for running from political office in the future he could run again for the presidency in 2024 his supporters say he should and he would win but despite the not guilty plea january the 6th will always be attached to donald trump's presidency on the day when democracy was threatened in america alan fischer al-jazeera on capitol hill where house speaker nancy pelosi did not hold back when

referring to the 43 republican senators who backed trump calling their refusal to convict him the most is owner of all acts in the country's history but what we saw in that senate today was a cowardly group of republicans who apparently have no options because they were afraid to defend their job respect the institution in which they served and let's had i would say how did your question who joins us from washington d.c. and mitch mcconnell was also drawing the ire of the democrats heidi. that's right and it cannot be understated nick how consequential and important the vote of mcconnell was of course he is the leader of the republicans in the senate and he had announced prior to that vote yesterday his intentions of voting to acquit and you can bet that there were many republicans looking to their leader to set the example for them to follow and after all there were only 10 votes short of

a conviction for trump and to follow that vote to acquit by mcconnell by the 4 statements that the minority leader made in which he condemned trump in the strongest of terms saying that he was practically and morally responsible for provoking that riot essentially agreeing with the prosecution but saying that he voted to acquit because of process that he sought the thought this trial was unconstitutional so really trying to have it both ways that is the response that those statements are getting and from speaker pelosi the majority of the house speaker leader of the democrats she is infuriated with mcconnell yesterday calling him disingenuous and also noting pointedly that much of the criticism levied at the future managers having delayed this trial so that trump is the 1st former president to be tried well she said mcconnell may have prevented that he could have taken actions to prevent that because after all it was he as the senate majority leader

at that time who insisted on delaying the trial until after trump had already left office so what does this mean for the republican party those like mitch mcconnell drawer away from those who they would regard as that the toxic part of the polity. right there is much soul searching going on now in the republican party these 2 wings you know the trump is a wing that still the most mitt most popular trumping the most popular in polling figure in the republican party or those who may follow mcconnell who in his statements has now made it clear that he wants to return to that traditional brand of conservatism that the party stood for long before trump but will this party bend either way or may even fracture those are big questions and as an indicator of how things may go we know that one of the republican senators the only one in fact who voted to convict lisa murkowski she's up for re-election just

a year from now and how she fares that would be an indicator meanwhile president joe biden who watched the proceedings from camp david he released a statement yesterday saying that this sad chapter in our history has reminded us that democracy is fragile that it must always be defended nick or how do you think so that's a higher cost of the washington d.c. . on jimmy kimmel where crowds are out demonstrating against the military rulers for a 9th consecutive day generals are giving themselves new powers to monitor to search and to detain people involved in protests more than 380 people have been detained since the military seized power in a coup unfair with the 1st foreign slowly as this report. thousands of people gather in different parts of yangon but all were the same demands they want. and others detained since the coup to be released and for the military to hand back

serbia to be more precise united states asked the course of all to be to draw the taxes on good see imported from serbia and bosnia which refused so. the democratic leader of course or feared to eat could do these things cause of all from their most important foreign partners the united states citizens of course of all are hoping that these election will bring the government to that feel it's right to gain and maintain the political stability needed to deal with the many problems that these youngest but also the poorest european country have like how to recover the economy how to create the jobs and actually if you talk of its citizens of prishtina and varying cost or they will tell you that they need jobs also there is a question of visa liberalization as citizens of course or cannot travel almost anywhere in europe without visas question or and issue of valid with serbia is still on the

table and it's very important although it is not it wasn't such of a subject to during the campaign or get back to that set up that organs are speaking to us from pristina. well the e.u. has sent a team of elections experts to monitor this vote in kosovo let's take a look back on a timeline of events and ethnic albanians declared independence from serbia in 2008 that's 10 years after a bitter war which lasted from $98.00 to $999.00 several western nations recognize cross over but russia and china backed serbia's claim to the disputed territory and are against kosovo's requests to join the european union opinion polls suggest the self-determination movement is likely to win calls for its parliamentary elections and has promised a tough stance against you and us brokered talks to settle the dispute and help a cause for when international recognition they stalled again last year so let's take the song we can speak now to foreign bieber who's

a professor of south east european history and politics at the university of gruts in austria joins us now via skype for and 1st up seems like there's this real hunger for change in kosovo do you think it will be enough for the self-determination party to win outright i mean all opinion polls suggest it would be enough days you'd be nearly doubling according to opinion polls to support their last elections and the ready then there were the strongest parties so the question is only will they be able to form a government without coalition partners because last time when they tried they stumbled within just a few weeks because the old parties are very much trying to stop the anti corruption driver to cleaning up which up in court today candidate for a prime minister all this of determination movement has promised should there. be when what are the implications for this most unstable of european regions and calls for his relationship with serbia which doesn't even recognize a state. well albacore de and his party have promised to take

a tougher stand on serbia they've been also less susceptible to pressure by international mediators because their previous s's often were implicated in organized crime or war crimes so they were more susceptible to pressure from the un the united states to compromise he is less likely to be as easily pushed over in a certain way and he's also signaled that he'll be a tough negotiator but also one who actually might have the majority in parliament to push through any deal which is settled this is always be double the cost of a side that unstable governments have made it very hard to find a compromise with serbia which would actually have parliamentary backing and majority support in the countries in that sense it might be tougher to negotiate between the 2 but it also might lead to a better deal if one is found and i think to some degree the ball will be more in serbia's court in the weeks and months to come than kosovo was so if they do present this this toughest stance is hard line to say. well they get support from

the united states and from joe biden they didn't offer we're going to support from the trump. well i think the it is in kosovo there's been a traditional orientation towards the united states for foreign policy the kind of engineering by richard canal a special envoy nominated by donald trump which led to the down vote the previous government has really shaken trust in the united states and cost of although it still remains the most sought after ally corti and his party of look more towards the european union and i think they will get support from the you would have been getting support and he has been kind of softening his more rabble rousing persona in recent years and that by the ministrations likely to return to a more supportive stance towards kosovo then the trumpet ministrations overall i believe that the court the government is seeking to have a dialogue an earnest but one with a bit maybe tougher position they are probably going to get the backing from the united states and also the european union the sense that way it will be closer to resolution between kosovo and serbia. i fear not because the biggest problem is i

think on the serbian side with president aleksander who church who has been very good at deflecting any criticism and blaming the kosovo side for being the one stalling the talks but the sincerity of commitment of him really engaging in a dialogue is very much in doubt he's been whipping up public opinion against kosovo albanians he's been indicating in his party loyalists have often been very uncompromising on recognizing any independence for kosovo and any solution short of defacto recognizing independence of kosovo is unlikely to lead to any sustainable conclusion of this so i think the ball is in serbia's court and i have strong doubts that president which it is eager to resolve this issue in earnest. speaking to us from us across in austria thank you thank you. people in spain's catalonia region a very seeing an election that could reshape its political landscape separate as parties dominate the regional parliament but polls suggest the socialist party

a nurse that fell ill 'd in january and she was taken to hospital and zurich or a she was suffering from vomiting bleeding diarrhea and a week later she was buried nearby in a town nearby and it is jury that funeral that 8 other were infected with the virus now the minister of health says that it has dispatched at least 30 health workers to investigate and to try to find contact cases to trace and try to contain this outbreak meanwhile neighboring liberia has put its health authorities on a higher alert because that funeral happened just very close to the border of liberia and worth remembering during the 201320158 bold outbreak in the region well it all started in that very region and and these funerals that were super spread over 60 percent of all infection came from funerals and that's because of the practices that happened during those burials of. people washing their hands in

common basins and then touch the body of the deceased and then there is the washing of the body itself which favors the transmission of the virus now this is all happening during a current virus outbreak which means that the health workers are already overstretched and there's also this common fear among people that basically if you go to the hospital you go there to die and not to survive so the main issue for the health ministry is both in guinea and in neighbor. is to communicate and to reassure the population now the current measures that are put in place for the corona virus outbreak helps in favors to slow down the spread of the virus but what's interesting is the location of where this outbreak started in a place where we know that primates and also bats are reservoir natural reservoirs to the bowl of virus and it suggests that there is a good transmission from the moles to humans in places of high concerts

concentration of human to animals and that perhaps explains why the virus is spreading specifically in this region of guinea nic. reporting there from jacki thanks well. spoken with haiti's foreign minister after weeks of protests calling for president driven a lawyer to step down while his opponents say he's remained in office illegally moved his term ended a week ago the president says he foiled a plot to overthrow him human rights activists say he's going after anybody that opposes him has this report. clashes between protesters and the police have been ongoing in haiti for the past weeks. your position in the country says presidency of an illinois mandate ended on february 7th while the government says it has one more year left. the discussion is over when he's time began and maurice took office in 2017 because of the political instability in the country but

is called one by demand of the town. why tony appreciate that thanks very much indeed. demonstrations have been held in bahrain ahead of the 10th anniversary of the popular uprising against his monocle bahrain was the only gulf country that's all protests during the 2011 arps spring takes a look back. this is how it looked when the arab spring breached the gulf region 10 years ago mr newton 6000 people protested in the behind the capital manila on february 14th 2011. for 10 now it was unprecedented they called the today of rain but today i dressed in behind had begun the year before the arab spring the country's majority shah population complained of marginalization by a sunni more knock their initial demands included political and constitutional reform socio economic justice and that

a nice of detained political leaders at the start of the protest they didn't seem to openly seek a complete removal of the ruling family. but the spectacular success of tunisian and egyptian protests as in toppling they'll powerful rulers gave a similar hope to those in behind. they occupied madonna's pearl roundabout and chanted for the creation of a democratic republic. the security forces intervened in a heavy hand that many. dozens of activists were injured all rested by the end of that day 21 year old idea of that had to lay dead dozens more were killed in the months that followed. the killings ignited anger thousands of the occupied the square a few days later. they pitched tents in an attempt to copy what happened in

cairo's tahrir square during those initial weeks the behind the government seemed to offer concessions the crown prince called for dialogue and laid out a plan of the constellation and reform but the shadow position expressed mistrust. was the testers now demanded the actual removal of the ruling family and an end to the monarchy. on march 14th 2011 the gulf cooperation council dispatched 1500 soldiers with armored personnel carriers mostly from saudi arabia and the united arab emirates to behind to support the government. the same day the king declared a state of emergency the security forces to clear the per square by any means. hospitals choked with the wound hundreds were arrested. here on and the protest

leaders criticised the gulf countries military intervention describe it as an occupation the other hand behind this government accused iran of meddling in its internal affairs by supporting the protest movement. the us navy which has its 5th fleet stationed in behind didn't seem to want to put real pressure on the government or to openly support any party in the uprising because of behinds geo political importance being you know between saudi arabia and iran and hosting the flames are now also a base for the united kingdom there are a lot of interests that are based on behind where and you know when we took to the streets in 2011 we knew that we weren't just up against the behind the government but rather the sixty's you see countries plus their allies the united kingdom and the united states over the years and with other arab spring countries sliding into anarchy and civil war behinds uprising began to fade. most of its shia political leaders were locked up and are still in jail still the leaders of the uprising

insist their struggle will continue as long as people's anger and grievances are not heard how much fun. well the arab spring began ingenious here in december 2010 when a street vendor set himself on fire protests against the standard of living in unemployment forced then president ben ali to step down in january 2011 and egypt's 18 days of mass protest pushed hosni mubarak to resign in february 2011 that was after 30 years in power he was replaced by the 1st democratically elected leader mohamed morsi who was then deposed by the military in 2013 in yemen crowds rose up against president ali abdullah saleh who'd ruled the country for 33 years 2011 also saw process in libya 1st magazine and then in misrata its longtime leader moammar gadhafi was captured and killed and demonstrations in syria turned into a years long conflict but failed to remove president bashar al assad so abraham

fret is a professor at the doha institute for graduate studies and so author of unfinished revolution yemen libya and tunisia after the arab spring joins us live on skype from here in doha so. an inquiry was commissioned as far as bahrain is was concerned and the plan was laid out for reconciliation reform did it come into being. actually you know no changes no snow genuine c.b.s. sort of major changes have happened by it since the promotion was coached actually and they said it is and it continues as usual and i think that all of the major reasons for the fun of this not to happen and not seeing any c.d.'s changes and then but one is that. that evolution was touched and it's italy they had spied been in so the shield sent the promise out that

a. second is that about me and is linked to regional conflict as with the iran and saudi arabia so. that reason i yeah but i end up with the status that's up the sea but it's going to come to outside because it was seen without with this context and defend reason it seems to be that political systems seem to be more of stronger and put this thing in the face and brought this up again political systems as in other countries what example we've seen also similar protests in morocco and jordan and that during that time but also that all your systems there when able to you know doing it to a doctor has to send in the quote this then and then it is a show and by and it seems to be on that show and that sense of dissatisfaction that with this erupted on the streets 10 years ago it wasn't just have gone away

when it is still there bubbling away under the surface waiting another chance. of course because this is dumped on me and by him but i would say it and most of that he just didn't most countries in that egypt because i'm lists you out of the you would be in with the underlying causes and conditions of these protests that have been thought that been years ago. i don't think we will see them ever going away because the support this broke out for reasons like unbelievable discrimination and equal access to. it does that but that sets them. really just at the nation. the fact that it is so the conditions that produce the protests actually they're still there and they have their way to reproduce in a much stronger way because we've seen count of allusions winning in a number of countries imposing security images in the much stuff out of that and

the way they went before in 2000 did ok to do it as much the security situation is much worse than doing that there's all but i'm sure let me just jumping i disagree with the final sorry to jump in but just one final question said bahrain has it a new prime minister now to what degree do you think is there a sense that he may move towards reconciliation. i think as i said this the situation i'm behind it as it cools the length of that regional rowing boat that he has no conflict between iran and saudi and i'm listen we see changes happening only that even a little on the relations between iran and saudi arabia i don't think we can see genuine changes happening no matter what the mistake situational changes on the domestic level happening because this is always see it as a proxy conflict. iran and saudi arabia and it is a huge mistrust that's happening between the 2 sides so that if you look so hot and

as a national security issue and that is that there can never be compromise on this list again a lot of junk that we need on that so that it is as old and then we can talk about the possible to be able to like. this to change and that's again was one reason why i do 1000 then we did not see change just happening because which sort of action that external players did not support of the protests that we see and we saw an end of that evolution did that they were hampering thanks very much indeed that's even him fred thank you thank you dozens of people have been killed during overnight fighting in northern yemen iran back to the rebels have intensified attacks against forces from the internationally recognized government here things are trying to seize the city of matter and the government's last stronghold in the north yemen has been locked in a power struggle ever since he's captured the capital sana in 2014. tens of

thousands of elderly people in syria struggling to find the treatment they need for physical or mental illnesses of the 10 years of war many living out their final years in camps. as this report. you know this is how on hussein moves around her camp in northern syria her health is getting worse and walking is no longer an option. for years she thought she would one day go back to her hometown but that hope has now fading the war is just one of several tragedies she's had to endure her husband became death some of their children have died others are scattered in different camps medicine is a luxury she can't afford. all of them i have nothing except my old age other people can walk and go anywhere they want but i can only crawl on my knees this is where some of the elderly go to get help
