arizona. john hendrick begins our coverage from tempe to the white house build. it is a major redress on democracy. the president joe biden speech was also a shot across the battle of republican rival, donald trump, and his mac. a movement and a preview of the theme of the president's re election campaign to mark as a res roll the people. nod, wrote a large, not room of money, not name a mighty, regardless of party. that means respected free and fair elections. except in the outcome. when or a news, it means you can load your front tray only when you, where is the mark because it means rejecting the repudiated political violence. that was a clear reference to the january 6 2021 insurrection, fomented by trump, which led to a 2nd impeachment days ahead of a possible government shut down over the demands from trump sound lies in congress bite. and accused mag of republicans of destroying faith and american institutions,

and biden said, every generation must protect democracy and he made clear what threats this generation faces or something dangerous happen in america. there's an extraneous movement, does not share the basic belief in our democracy. the mag and move by may be addressed as he announced federal funding for the john mccain national library, named after the late arizona senator and vietnam prisoner of war. he was both biden's political adversary and his close sprint bite and was introduced by mccain's widow once a loyal republican wife. later a member of biden's democratic administration, john would have hated if we'd made this occasion just about him. but instead, he would have wanted to make it about what is most important. john's constant mantra of service to a cause greater than one's self interest is in the home,

serve the american people. mccain died in 2018 in the year since the countries divisions have only sharpened. it's no accident divide and shows arizona for the speech. it is a key election state. the trump lost in 2020, and the fight in hopes to win again. in 2024 hours before biden spoke, house republicans held a hearing on whether to impeach him another day of contrast and clashing political realities in a deeply divided america. john henry and l. g 0, tempe, arizona, or us house republicans have run into problems at the 1st hearing of that impeachment inquiry into joe biden. they say the president's abuses, power. i'm profited from his family's business dealings, but the republicans, 3 own expert witnesses have said that they don't have proof the biden's done anything wrong. hearings also be modified arguments about procedure. it comes as the government's close to a shut down at least 10 times. joe biden lied to the american people that he never

spoke to his family about their business dealings. he live by telling the american people that there was an absolute wall between his official government duties and his personal art. let's be clear. there was no wall. the committee is received 12000 pages of bank records. here they are right in front of us, printed double sided and not a single page shows a dime. going to president joe. but i think how many in san francisco and they're going to kind of bach a formerly declared, they'll despond their government. the break away region is gonna cease to exist from the 1st of january. any hoff up is ethic. armenians have left more than a week after, as a by john to control and a 24 hour military offensive. more than 80000 people are believed to have crossed into neighboring armenia or prime minister nichol pushing young is urging the international community to act against what he calls ethnic cleansing 7 out of auto body. how 10 years in a few days,

there will be no more armenians left. no go into the car, but there's an act of ethnic cleansing in depriving people of their homeland. something had been warning the international community about for a long time. so it's for our media are proud to now is to receive our brothers and sisters, to put it from there going to cordova as careful as possible and provide the needs . assessment brings everything as a by john, and he explains what dissolving they're going to call. the box means for its people . or this means this as the cleared republic of our stuff or newborn new caught above, will cease to exist from january. the 1st, this is the 1st time we are heading from ethnic armenian leadership, which sign this agreement. but other than dining need is, as it agreed, that people who are ethnic armenians living in the car box and place are going to be allowed to leave. that will be given safe passage and be facilitated if they choose to do so on this spot. the otherwise any government says that after all of the criticism that it's hearing,

that it is understandable that armenia had established this and state for decades. and now it is difficult for them to accept that it is now going to be dissolved. this is essentially going to be either by joining government taking administrative and security control off of this region from their tens of thousands have been leaving. in the last few days, we've seen more than half of the population of that kind of buffering move to armenia already, and it is a steady flow that people are continuing to leave in the future. azerbaijan will admit its not just administrative, this area, but also according to its government, is going to give equal rights to ethnic, armenians who want to live as other badge on your citizens as citizens. portal has been established for people to register themselves and buses are being sent to people who do not phone cars a to facilitate their movement from other by john into armenia. but it is a significant day for the people both were leaving. and both we've been waiting to go back to this area because it's a decades gone. conflict,

people who are displaced decades ago want to go back to their homes. and people who be living there for decades have to start a new life and, and uncertain future. because they are not having to approve themselves. so i'm a job with the elevator in the car about which what size is what people are leaving . they're going to call her buck despite also buys on giving assurances that their rights would be protected as balance with reports we get of on is very level of trust. and a lot of fear of this laundry will probably never be taken in by the women who hung get down to dry the self. the glad state of they're going to kind of relax. finally, so quickly it's asked me to call meeting and population not only minutes to pack the rapid exit, just driven by sees of ethnic cleansing by as the by john. few people accepted assurances from the government and back to that they would be safe. the problem is that my,

my c desktop stuff to the ground. i don't know, but i guess hopefully i know that i have to, i know but we try to forget people who didn't bomb shelters. when, as about john launched, it's lightning military offensive on the going to kind of back as russian peacekeepers stood aside, it didn't take long for the as a by john is to break through the ethnic on medians. then defenses. 9 days later, most of the population of a 120000 has gone those still here trying to lead it is impossible to find 2 i and that to women, they are 90 to pay like 200 dollars for 5 right here i have some fuse flag is, i don't base our eyes, you know, in to,

to met them over 30 years. tens of thousands of people have died fighting for and against the celtic glad republic. i'm to go on. ok. now. almost in an instant. it's gone. it is for they all meetings, a national tragedy. now the government team was trying to accommodate the southern an unexpected influx of as many as for 2000 families, bonus mis, i'll just say era. yeah, that's, that's totally from a fire to wedding, a nose and a rock has risen to 98 another. 60 people are in the hospital. the tires and signals are being held for the 3rd day. these are life pictures from somebody else . some people are still missing, must move. the other one had reports from the company in iraq's province have never won an entire community. as in morning the last was unbearable for 13 years old. sondra, her mother on the younger sister were among the dozens of people who died when i flies to through a wedding celebration in the northern iraqi towing of hum denny,

uh well worth it. um. how can i live without them? my mother was only 37 and my sister was not even 5 years old. the lack of a fire extinguisher has destroyed my life. some people are still on accounted for after to his days. the just to mentee had that i'm much i my 17 year old daughter has disappeared. i've searched everywhere all the hospitals. i want to know where she is, even if she's dead. tense who are friends and family come to offer. condolences of the come on, come on site on almost every street and hum denny a civil defense. so for, she'll say fire work spoke at the blaze, and that an investigation is under way into the building is compliance with safety standards. families blamed the owner of the whole and i q is local authorities of negligence, of the symmetry,

but is keep arriving to this new york about had this new gemma. and you'll enjoy this know every day. we very loved ones that are, those are the serious condition and how many people here speech, those we are helpless. only go to use us how to help them saying good prayers here may give solos for the victims of families who are burdened by grief. and good officials have promised them any one from the responsible for this tragedy will be held accountable with the family is also want negligence to be criminalized . the prime minister has offered his condolences and pledge its support for the victims of families. but for the people of him, denny, uh the district is overwhelmed with as long as we cannot accept the prime ministers, condolences until he guarantees that justice would be. so

that's wrong or beyond the human in julian's. how will they ever hear some here wonder? and how will the younger generation cooper into use to come? what up do i hate, which is your income then the note of the rock? libby is, public prosecutor says 4 more people should be jailed following catastrophic floods in the city of done the to city council members into construction officials or kings of mismanagement and negligence. thousands of people were killed earlier this month of the heavy rains cause to damage to bus, to sending a huge wave of water through the city. it is there at least 12 soldiers have been killed during an attack by hundreds of fighters on motor bikes. it happened in kind dodging near the border with molly and book in a faso. it's an airy over armed fighters linked to i'll call you to an i. so are active sanctions have been imposed on this as since it was taken over by military leaders in a true in july,

1500 french troops were fighting on groups. they're due to be pulled out by the end of the year. sioux falls of open for parliamentary elections in africa's last absolute monarchy. s with tv. but political bodies of banned from taking part from it. the miller reports no no more than gallows. maloney is one of dozens of candidates vying for a parliamentary c to east with tv. formerly swans, the land. political parties have been banned for decades and the small southern african kingdom, the last absolute monarchy on the continent. i can say again, simply say we are not allowed to be free. we don't have free speech, you are not allowed. because if you speak of that sort, then you'll find yourself, find yourself king and swat to the 3rd as will this, what do you need for 57 years? protest is accusing me of living lavishly while ignoring the poverty in the country

of 1200000 people in may 2021. thousands of people demonstrated peacefully quoting for democratic reform. security forces responded swiftly and observe as accuse them of heavy handedness and cracking down on the protest. as amnesty international says, more than 80 people were killed in more than 1000 arrested in a matter of months despite the bad on gatherings and petitions and an intimate blackout. sporadic protest continued last year. close 260-0000 vote is eligible to choose 59 members of parliament. the king will appoint another 10, most opposition, according for a boycott. and once the king's power was diluted, but some ocean boat is to go to the polls, saying it's the only way to be heard. previously, kim swati has promised more dialogue with opposition parties, but little has changed. the government says these elections do represent the people . several ups of groups, including one from the southern african development community,

are expected to monitor the vote. results are expected over the weekend to meet them, bella, i'll just, sarah. well, if i'm, it is live from the police station in the capital m. i'm on a, i'm from of the if political parties have been bind, it's hard to know what people can actually vote for what's gonna happen. of the, well, we do expect, um, at least, as we mentioned there possibly 600000 people coming out to porting stations. like the sent regarding of the banning of political parties. they're voting directly for parliamentary members. and even then 10 additional members are appointed directly by the king. so this is essentially as far as people can go in terms of a representation. but the critics have said that not everybody who stands for election to be a member of parliament could possibly have the support of the king ultimately, who appoints additional members and could also dissolve parliament if you wanted.

so this is part of the reason the critics have said that they wanted more democratic freedoms in the country, that this isn't a fee representation of people's will. and they don't really get to say, because essentially people standing for these full parliament would have to be, i suppose, sanctioned by the king. those critical of him wouldn't have his support and babs wouldn't stand a chance at the poles you were meant talking about in this, in your report that there had been protests previously was you being violent, they put down not political parties. and in fact, people in as retaining and still convinced that things for change as well. we have seen those protest, i dont in the last year or so the area with a non some do the uh, east of them, of bonnie's with those protests started in around may. june 2021 of the university student was killed. he was critical of the government so critical of the king, the monarchy, and he died in

a road accident. but protesters alleged that police had something to do with his death. and that's when we saw those protests break out in an area like this with a is a very young population. we expect many of the use to come out to a potent station like this one to vote. but you know, it's, i'm so to know how many people would devote, we know, 600000 all registered. the political block is a you, as you said, all bent one of the largest organizations and then that's the best you could call them and continue to be critical of because of the, the monarchy. they are saying people should stay away from the polls. others are saying that this is an opportunity for them to have their say, even if limited, but it's for peace even recent months. is those process diag zone a significant come down on any protests at the time on the heights of some of the big approaches we saw the internet shut down. we saw a banding of petitions, we saw a banding of people congregating. so it is

a difficult environment for people to get together and protest against some of the difficulties they say that they experience. it's going to be an interesting few hours and i know we're going to be checking in with you during that time to find out what's been happening and ask for to me, find out from it and miller in and by me. thank you very much. indeed. the still ahead on, i'll just say the waves of water sweeps infinities in greece, causing widespread damage and power cuts. hong kong is sparking magic, tries to attract tourists dollars to help it's faster the economy the . there has been some flooding in greece, which is always the concern, and those circulating storms a lot going your way they're going to moves, a physician will see more coating in. talk to you, for example, announce recreate,

and they find this thing. it's getting called full many the coming of age story in the community, fighting to push the heritage in an ever changing world. a thing on an ancient way to, to future generations. in an award winning documentary, i'll just say, well, photos, a group of young man on the right to patsy's county in the most for me, the ivory cousins,

the majority of people in eastern deal to see it look like this. it shows connected easy. it was a useless mission, which originally raised hopes about regaining peace and security and our region. but unfortunately, what we witnessed was more crime under my new scope than before my new scope of the bus event of i think, after 25 years, i don't believe this mission lived up to its responsibility for our population. because nothing has changed on the ground way. un peacekeepers have been stationed in the democratic republic of congo for almost the quarter century until now this and we don't even have the highest levels of the united nations. but the state is, quote, cannot continue. but the withdrawal of the peacekeepers would be difficult and could lead to an even more dangerous situation on the ground. james bay's, i'll just say around the united nations, the positive migrants are continuing their journey from mexico into the us. crowds of people mainly from central america, are in the town of eagle pass and texas,
