oh. this is e.w. news live from bernard seeking opportunities in the u.s. and china trade war chancellor angela merkel arrives in india to talk trade and security both sides see potential to boost try to be fallout from trump's tara fold with china also coming up full steam ahead for the impeachment process as u.s. lawmakers vote to make that inquiry official public what does it mean for the president trying to and. listen we're going to be so we're we're going to.

as human beings not like cockroaches so desperate to get out of south africa on a police crackdown in cape town we hear about the plight of migrants trying to escape then a phobic attacks. and they're all there on the front line and that all women it needs involved ways female only anti-poaching unit. time helena humphrey glad you could join me german chancellor angela merkel has arrived in india for a 3 day visit that will focus on boosting trade and business ties merkel was welcomed in delhi with military honors she'll be holding talks with indian prime minister narendra modi on a wide range of bilateral issues small cities renewal energy and mobility will also be on the. both sides also see potential in the fallout from the trade war between

the u.s. and china germany is india's largest trading partner in europe to the tune of $20000000000.00 u.s. dollars last year. well for more on this i'm now joined by our chief political editor she is in delhi following going to visit good to see the german and indian leaders have met regularly in recent years so what's special about this one. special thing about it is that she's brought part of her cabinet also including the foreign minister here and these government consultations as they're called who are set up to sort the after germany started consultations with india there was a strong feeling that both countries should be on a par when it comes to thinking about future relationships also particularly in terms of trade but having said that germany feels that this is a quite a way to go to actually find enough common ground here with india to have something

like a free trade agreement with the european union that something germany is very keen on and also this is the kind of big picture stuff but also the agriculture minister here as well she wants to talk about things like farming and safety standards particular it comes to its for food stuff that is being exported to the european union so it's from the small detail but also to the geostrategic of course always with a view on china now on another topic indian president there and really has been criticized for his increasingly nationalist policies chancellor merkel going to address any of these issues. but one could expect her to do so if you ask for an official statement you will get pretty much standard from the german side saying that issues like human rights and global standards and international law. talks to world leaders at the same time there's

a sense here of having a kindred spirits in terms of having the largest democracy after all india is the largest democracy in the world foreign minister mark said he considers the issue of kashmir an internal affair for instance but also that people's rights should be preserved so be very interesting to hear whether there's any kind of official recognition of a frank exchange on that largest democracy and of course india the 2nd most populous country on the earth as well i mean compared to germany that is relatively small what is india hoping to achieve with these consultations. well germany is. seen as someone one can learn from the german education training system is always one of the big exports. in terms of business leaders and small medium enterprises that are here in the delegation this time round not really the big shots from the big companies so there's an appetite here

for exchange and at the same time india knows that in terms of population it is almost always has a race with china who is the most populous country in the years to come but a large population also means very very large potential and here germany said he wants to make sure it's one of the 1st partners when india decides to open up and talk more significant trade with the e.u. . chief political editor michelle in delhi thank you very much. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. the clashes broke out in hong kong on thursday night after police fired tear gas at proto more prosy protesters many of the demonstrators used halloween to do high down on facemasks the asian financial hub is facing another mass protest on saturday. north korea has confirmed it has test fired what it calls

a super large rocket launcher you know when it comes off to south korea and japan said they had detected to project all launches from somewhere near pyongyang north korea's latest weapons test comes amid stalled nuclear talks with the united states . the risk posed by california's fires is lessening as high winds across most of the state over 200000 residents have been allowed to return home before calls just caution that no rain is expected and an elevated fire danger could remain throughout this coming weekend for. a historic vote in the u.s. congress now where democrats in the house of representatives have taken a major step in their efforts to impeach president donald trump voting to proceed formally and publicly with that investigation now the resolution sets out the ground rules that lawmakers will use in paves the way for public hearings on whether trump misused the power of his office. the weather on capitol

hill couldn't have been more symbolic the vote in the house of representatives means an uncertain future to the trump presidency with 232 yes to 196 nays the democratic controlled house adopted a resolution allowing more transparency in the impeachment inquiry the vote came after a heated debate this is soviet style rules baby in the soviet union you do things like this where only you make the rules there are no kings or queens in america that is what separates this country from so many other nations no one is above the law at the heart of the impeachment inquiry is president trump's july phone call with ukrainian president volodymyr zelinsky a whistleblower accuse trump of pressing ukraine to investigate against a political rival democrats see that as an act of abuse of power from now on there

is no return for the democrats but the way forward is a risky one today's vote some are concerned that impeaching president trump might eventually backfire in exterior election those are some of the hopes of the republican party minority leader kevin mccarthy sees the inquiry as a partisan power battle they face doubt about the credibility of the whistleblower and the motivation of the democrats ask me every single member of congress that now has a transcript of the phone call what is the impeachable offense so i'll make you this one promise. republicans believe in the constitution we believe in the rule of law and that's why we're standing here today. democrat congressman al green is an outspoken supporter of impeaching president trump he stresses the democrats have no other choice when it comes to impeachment and balance the power of the constitution

protecting you know preserving the republic you have to put principle of politics you have to make sure that you do not allow your personal ambitions to become an impediment to protecting the country. the impeachment inquiry will now take place in the open despite the political risks involved in trying to remove president trump from office the democrats clearly feel the time for caution is over . well to talk through this now i'm joined here in the studio by william good morning to you william 1st of all how does this change the impeachment process over going from a private phase a closed door phase to a public phase which probably means that democrats think they have the evidence to go public with this to convince americans to even convince maybe there are other people in congress that there's enough evidence to impeach donald trump so what we're going to see now is

a lot of the witness test testimony that has been taking place behind closed doors might happen again now in front of t.v. cameras for all of us to see and also the testimonies that have already been done behind closed doors those are going to be printed and be made public for us all to read the full details so far we've only heard little chips and drabs coming out of these closed door meetings now we're going to see the full picture when if there's one thing we know about washington is probably set to be a spectacle but why now it could potentially be risky this is a very partisan environment it's so partisan that the fact that only 2 democrats voted with republicans against continuing the impeachment inquiry and yet republicans and. a press conference yesterday saying this was a bipartisan voters as a result of that shows just how partisan this is when all they need is just 2 democrats that have 200 plus to go with them that's not really a bipartisan vote and yet it's seen as bipartisan in this environment let's not forget that pelosi and other top democrats have not wanted to go down the impeachment route and it was only after evidence that they saw as overwhelmingly

against donald trump for suggesting he's abused his office the power of his office that they finally caved to what many of their colleagues in the democratic party wanted so this they saw as a huge risk going into elections and also there was the idea that well there's an election anyway going coming up americans can decide for themselves if donald trump is fit for office or it's a press conference is the holes of power all of that aside i mean what do the american people actually feel about impeachment proceedings right now already for a few weeks the majority of americans have been ok with an impeachment inquiry slightly less support but still majority support for even impeaching donald trump possibly even removing him from office but the important part is to say the majority of americans the majority of republicans the vast majority of republicans are still standing like they're elected their republican elected representatives with donald trump that something that we're likely not to see change too much unless there's some overwhelming evidence that donald trump used his political

office use his power for his own personal gain and undermine national security or u.s. foreign policy or so that the american voters that talk then about trump's republican base any chance though that we could see some of the republicans pete away from giving their support the president would certainly be hearing republicans unhappy with donald trump's behavior. surprised by some of the the evidence that's been coming out so far in the closed door testimony but we saw yesterday republicans can whip their their their people together to vote down a party line on the party line. this is nothing new. republicans republicans are very good at towing the line so they'll need 20 democrats and 20 republican senators to change sides if this were to go to the senate to basically convict donald trump of crimes that's not looking likely to happen no i think it's not it's not it's exactly it's a it's quite

a big number especially in any situation and especially in this hyper partisan environment with the election coming up though even if they can't make impeachment an actual in the actual issue in the senate it could become an election issue where voters will see the evidence and get to decide for themselves is this approach is this a man i want to be leading the country into a 2nd term while reviewing it all for us. good to talk to you thank you. well you're watching the news coming up later in the show they're almost there on the frontline and they are all women we meet zimbabwe's female only and keep pushing it. now to 11 where president michel aoun has pledged to radically reform the country's government amid massive protests his plan would do away with a power sharing system that guarantees posts to all of the country's 18 religious

who don't come from the old political families. who are looking for more the president talks about countering corruption he's been in the presidency for 3 years countering corruption to start with the son in law the foreign minister. down by its veteran politicians whom practice is blamed for lebanon's precarious economic situation. 7 and sees him bankers angry. crowds gathered outside the central bank on thursday but the protests which themselves began with one rest against proposed government taxes have for the worse in the country's crisis. awakes banks of state shut jus to the demonstrations that's adding to people's pain in what threatens to become a vicious cycle. one that could end in lebanon and economic ruin. and refit now some other stories the so-called islamic state has confirmed the

more than 300 migrants and refugees have sought shelter in a church in cape town after police evicted them from an encampment outside the un's refugee agency office now about 100 people were arrested on wednesday for resisting police orders to leave the site the migrants from different african countries are demanding to be relocated by the way they say that a recent wave of xenophobic violence directed at african migrants shows that south africa is no longer safe. well the migrants in the church a vow to stay until a solution is found she wus added. this report from cape town but here in the church where about 300 you are seeking shelter refugees you can see it is completely overcrowded so many people have the space it is not smelling very well of course service stress level is very high the tensions are very high and people have experienced very terrible things on wednesday when there were the correct down on their protests and the police was attacking them just talk to sylvie one mother

who was a witness of what happened and she actually got injured herself. i'm sorry i feel dead and that's the big picture it's. because another thing is today. is the 5th in a 4 because in south africa because that's was done by the government. because that is the new money that i so wish my sister if a policeman can support him are the current there is no future for much of that in this country i want to go if you want to go anywhere as long as we are out of this country a place that we're going to be safe where we're going to feel that we've been victimized as a human being not like cockroaches or not like chic because we're not going to be slow to do everything we think is going to be really fine thank you there's no better place than home and then is because i was forced to leave my country i did not choose to come to suffer i did not wake up one day and say let me plan to go

for only the south africa i was forced to leave my country and then go to the u n c and this country knows that. but if there was a piece i did that could but you could there's not peace that's why i told them to look for it this way i can hear this. outside the church as you can see a lot of people are gathering as well there is some south africans who are coming here to give food help to bring diapers for the children who are trying to help because they also embarrassed of what has happened one of the attacks in the past but also of the police brutality that everybody has witnessed yesterday and most people here don't really know what is going to happen next it is very unlikely that there were demands will be met because most of them want to be relocated to a certain country they don't want to go back to their home country because they say it is not safe but we have to recall that there are 270000 refugees in south africa that's the official number it is likely that's even more and if this little group

of people will be relocated to a 3rd country does likely that other people will be interested and also get this relocation offer right office of the church there's a market for cheerios and most of the traders here are foreigners as well from african countries and many of them they do. to agree that south africa is not a safe place for foreigners not smart man my business but just to stop people here because the customers need to come inside now there's. this morning i didn't. because of those things it's not my business but does disturb us. it's download even yesterday we didn't make any and today we didn't make anything else the protesters here are saying that they will be staying in this church as long as the church allows it and afterwards they will move to the streets to remain here until a solution is found. well it's to zimbabwe now and they're called the aca shingo
