that's. the at. this is g.w. news live from bahrain a prime minister on the pressure. the political turmoil in the european a year in smallest nation as maltese government is caught up in a mad approach suspicions are growing over a high level cover up a senior figures resign and also coming up european union lawmakers are set to confirm the top team in brussels in coming e.u. president on the line is expected to get what she wants but the united kingdom's

refusal to take part puts the clock in uncharted legal territory. and u.s. president donald trump tells a reelection rally in florida that the impeachment inquiry has been going well for him the swing state is a battleground for votes we'll get you the latest from our correspondent there. i am. i ever. on and on for a clarity you could join me we start in malta where a series of high level resignations has shaken the government amid a growing scandal surrounding the murder of the investigative journalist ethnic heroin and it's over 2 years ago 3 senior government figures have resigned another says that he has suspended himself the opposition is calling for prime minister joseph miscount to step down saying that the only decisions he's taking to protect those around him. making

a short sharp exit and angry crowd through accusations and eggs at multis prime minister joseph muscat as he escaped parliament shrouded by tight security hours earlier his chief of staff and 2 ministers resigned the fallout of a police investigation gathering pace into the murder of prominent journalist daphne carolina. carolina an investigative reporter described as a one woman wiki leaks was blown up by a car bomb 2 years ago she had become known for exposing cronyism within the country's political and business elite although 3 men face trial for carrying out the murder the mastermind has not yet been identified last week a suspect believed to be a middleman in the murder was arrested but the prime minister granted a pardon if the man helps find the masterminds. behind the next morning a multi is businessman was apprehended on his luxury yacht allegedly preparing to

flee the businessman to is now reportedly seeking immunity in exchange for cooperating with the police protesters say carolina there was a victim of what they call endemic corruption at the highest levels of motorists government. must get stopped aid has been questioned by police over the murder the other 2 ministers say they were stepping aside until the investigation was over while denying any involvement in the death 'd all 3 were accused by carol one of corruption a family said the prime minister is protecting those behind her murder muscat has ignored cause for him to quit. you know and yet incompletely who this is only it really on the run the country needs stability please the moment he plays on the saw on the stop that on my mandate he might actions at the end decisions in the coming hours and days will be aimed to ensure.

that stability is maintained that the. protesters say democracy and the country has long been on the slide. broken in more ways than one. but case micallef is a journalist for the times of malta he joins us now from the capital letter welcome to the program keith last night we saw the prime minister pelted with extraneous allies have already gone is the next. that is the question everybody is asking the president or himself had said 2 years ago when he heard one another mandate to govern for 5 years that this would be his last turn the problem for the prime minister is that he's probably made his biggest miscalculation his biggest bit of judgment in his political career because ford is minister had this chief of staff has been there too late to to to leave under his own because of their panama company's initiative which was 3 years ago for 3 years and the prime minister and involved in pledge that he would beat back is really responsible and shoulders

possibility for his decision now that these people are under investigation over a contract killing there's no other way no other way practically for him then resign because he committed them big miscalculation on judgement even though many people can't believe he was he knew absolutely nothing about what was going on now definite carolina that he says she has not had more than 2 years ago now when you look back at the events of the past week how close are we to finally finding out who orchestrated it or did it. undoubtedly there was a big step forward in the last few days there has always been suspicious have always been suspicious deaths because this could be politically motivated because there's an account of that it's your prime minister out on corruption claims involving politicians and their biggest story which she was yet to reveal what you have given notice she was investigating was this power station in corruption playing the politicians had to deceive the bribes or were you to receive bribes in

return for giving the continuity of millions of euro contract and the fact that no there are suspects who are open only under interrogation mentioning mr bush can vary and maybe war cabinet members it's a big step forward because before there was it was more of like speculation at least in the in the public eye and the family of the ethnic i want to get it you have been a very vocal and that criticism of the prime minister what is it exactly that they would like to see from him now of course they would like him to completely resign to move away out of the political scene and to bring the masterminds those who really were behind this this concert killing to justice there is speculation that it could have been more than one mustn't mind it is speculation that it could has been 23 or 4 persons possibly politicians who poured money into equity to make it's going to getting there is also you know this is just speculation it could have cost

what it will cost millions this killing journalist keith mckinney from the times of malta joining us from the capital by alexa thank you. thank you. well we need a new e.u. commission executive all of the european union will be presented to parliament in strasbourg later today for approval but with a representative from one member state missing now 27 even member states have already endorsed the line up from us enough on the line the commission's new president bought in violation of european union or the united kingdom has refused to put forward a candidate now it is due to leave the block at the end of january having already delayed its departure 3 times as you have found and i will she now needs the european parliament to sign off on her commission so it can be in place by the 1st of december it hasn't been an easy journey for her sake and now how she said since her election back in july. a salary of relief

over a very close with back in july it was enough and got approved by a margin of only 9 holes i feel so on edge and i'm overwhelmed and i think you'll for the trust you place in. this live victory was a strong 1st indication that the road to the new commission would be. very bumpy indeed because after she got approved this happens. 1st the hunt garion and the romanian commission candidates were rejected by the european parliament before they could even be heard on top of that c.v. the french commission hopeful got the thumbs down after 2 long and painful hearings . but the real problem was that it took romania

a long time to nominate a replacement but eventually they did and their candidate passed just like the replacements from asian nations hungary with neighbors and france to be king but that's the end of the story why it. no no. of course there's always the u.k. prime minister boris johnson kept bringing the low blows and refused to nominate a commissioner despite being in the in the you for a while longer that punch could make the whole commission illegal but the commission's legal services think they found a way around that so does this mean fundal lions commission will finally be approved by the european parliament. here's someone who should know the head of the biggest political group in part of. the proposal from was a live on the line is

a good ones and an ambitious commission who wants to deliver on the people told us that in the election campaign one climb up on economic strengths and on digital so that is good and the p.p. bill fully supportive so we have unity in the support for the lions commission. so it looks like who's enough on the lion will finally be able to celebrate. but not for long in this parliament there won't be any easy wins for the new e.u. commission. well for more i'm joined by our correspondent bob a vessel in brussels a sort of underline she seems to have the backing of man had they been and the european peoples party but does she have enough backing to secure approval. yet really seems that in the meantime the other parties have come around i mean she anyway has the support of the big good new group the liberals which call themselves renewed these days is she also has the social democrats and she will have

a handful of votes from other parties so it is rather certain that she will go through and the most painful part of this whole nomination an election process for her is over bought bought of course we know that in the future she is going to have to fight for a majority in this split parliament over and over again and yet they're all still a number of issues the u.k. for example it hasn't presented a commission or the e.u. apparently has found a legal way around that what if they come up with. yes there's had the simple because 1st they asked nicely as is the custom in the european union and say would you please please please nominate a commission of britain said no we can't we won't till we have elections and so on and so for us and then they started legal proceedings infringement procedures those are cold and it just means that a member country isn't fulfilling is obligations now usually these things are quite lengthy the european court of justice will in the end sort of have

a verdict on it but in the meantime everybody hopes britain will get. it sorted one way or the other either the conservatives will carry a majority and sort of push it through in general or there will be a rethink in london so the european union things they're on the safe side if they sort of put this in the legal sphere now this is the biggest shop in the european union so one of the toughest task now facing. big big problems of course and orsillo from the line has known this she promises full steam ahead she says that she really wants to get going it big green deal is on her agenda one of the 1st things she wants to tackle then of course there is the digital economy that is going to need much more support in europe she has the increasing rift was a right wing authors tarion leaning parties in some eastern european countries and

then also if her seat is sort of awkward between paris where among them a kronk's it's a who was her biggest supporter who sort of pushed her into the job and berlin on the other side and the relationship between paris and berlin at the moment is a bit strange to put it mildly so she really has an uphill battle let's not forget the refugee problem that hasn't been solved that she really has an uphill battle on her hands but she says she's ready to go and she seems rather full of hope and full of beans at this point of time just a few things to be getting on with and our correspondent there in brussels for us thank you very much. let's take a look now at some the other stories making news around the walls polls have opened in the general election in a new media in southwest africa the ruling party held a final campaign rally urging people to vote for a tried and tested party now present high age gain gobies facing discontent over

the poor state of the economy despite the country being rich in minerals. clashes have broken out between security forces and protesters in the colombian capital bogota on restaurant did off the demonstrators announced they would hold a new nationwide strike following crisis talks with the president now the protests which started last week are the biggest that the country has experienced in decades . police in spain have traded a drug smuggling submarine to shore is the 1st narco sub to be seized in europe and investigators believe it is carrying several tons of cocaine from south america to ecuadorian men were arrested when a vessel was intercepted off north in spain on sunday. or u.s. president donald trump is in florida rallying his supporters and he can ignore the continuing impeachment inquiry which is gathering pace and white but he says it is

an attempt by what he calls the establishment just stop him working for the people . for the n.e.'s was at that rally. it's being billed as president from home coming here to the state of florida and movies official residence here recently from new york republicans of course are focused on 2020 this is an important swing state which from being back in 2016 with the ongoing impeachment inquiry has cost and long shadow over president donald trump but he remains defiant it's a terrible holt's last week subtle and justified that i told him quote. what do you want the ukraine i said i want nothing this is a quote i want no quid pro quo you are want nothing tell presidents who lives going to do the right the way the failed washington established is trying to stop me because i'm fighting for you and because we're

winning very simple. polls here in the united states and shown by voters are divided over whether president from should be impeached and removed from office but its supporters here in florida have shown that there's a board for him is only wavering. i think that it's ridiculous and they don't have any theory of anything it's all just. the way that people interpret things. each of them have been asked and none of them have any evidence or it's completely ridiculous has no basis. i think it's just a political which are think if they had would be needed to be done. with me talking about it to dorothy hamill i think they have it's a big it will the had their opinions if they don't like trump that's ok but he's really done nothing wrong that she qassim t.v. peached the ongoing impeachment inquiry enters a new phase next week congress has invited president trump to attend its 1st

impeachment hearing but this week is thanksgiving here in the united states and president trump is staying here in florida to enjoy several days off. well rescue is in albania all still searching for survivors a day off a powerful earthquake authorities say more than 20 people are known to be dead and hundreds more injured at the magnitude $6.00 quake struck about 60 kilometers northwest of the capital tehran. i rescuers work into the night to free people from the deputy. finding survivors of albania's worst earthquake in 30 years is a slow and delicate operation but it is year old ing results. a man has pulled out of a collapsed building alive in 2 man one of the towns hardest hit by the quake it's around 20 kilometers from the epicenter that was but many were not
