should be impeached for abusing his powers and for obstructing congress the speaker of the house nancy pelosi and heads of investigating committees and announced 2 articles of impeachment the democrats accuse president trump of soliciting for interference in next year's presidential election and of attempting to conceal from congress evidence of his efforts. all right here's how the chairman of the house intelligence committee adam schiff described the president's actions president solicited a foreign nation ukraine to publicly announce investigations into his opponent and a baseless conspiracy theory promoted by russia to help his reelection campaign. president trump abused the power of his office by conditioning to official acts to get ukraine to help israel action the release of hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid that nation desperately needed and

a white house meeting with an ally trying to fend off russian aggression. in so doing he undermined our national security and jeopardized the integrity of our next election and he does so still or that was anxious speaking just moments ago let's take you now to washington to deal correspondents all over south who has been closely listening a very solemn day there where you are we just heard adam schiff and house speaker nancy pelosi flanked by democratic leadership but what i wonder just 2 articles what does that tell us. that's right 2 articles could have been more of course number one is abuse of power and that goes down to the core of the inquiry you just heard the chairman of the intelligence committee adam schiff speak . in famous ukraine phone call. where president trump pressured ukraine to interfere in the 2020 election campaign by withholding american military aid and

pushing for investigation against president potential political rival joe biden and chairman of the judiciary committee jerry never said that this would be endangering the american constitution as well as american democracy and number 2 the 2nd article of impeachment will be obstruction of congress interesting leave that dates back to right after the impeachment inquiry began when president trump decided to not cooperate with the committees he instructed the white house to withhold documents for instance prohibited his aides to testify so those of the 2 articles the 3rd article that was discussed but was not put on the table eventually dates back to the model report and that would have been struction off just as when president trump tried to fire the special counsel robert muller however critics within the democratic party said let's just focus on now on this latest case with

the in famous ukraine phone call otherwise it was it would weaken their own case all right now take us through some of their reactions are the republicans still keeping up a united front. they are until now the republican and republican party has been very united behind the president when it comes to the impeachment inquiry the defense has always been to to discredit the inquiry they were arguing that the democrats are simply trying to lose simply afraid to lose their 2020 election and therefore see the only way winning in peaching president trump the president himself stressing that the economy is doing great stock market the stock market is hitting record highs and therefore called this this morning on twitter impeaching him political madness as you wrote so in conclusion all over what will happen next will we hear from the president or will he take the stand what's going to happen

well it will certainly hear from him he's been very vocal on on this question and everything else and ironically this morning he is expecting the russian foreign minister lavrov in the wia tell us the real certainly hear from him the sooner or later later this week the judiciary committee will vote on these articles of impeachment that will open the way for a house floor will it so the house of representatives will vote on impeachment before christmas that's the schedule and then soon as in january there will be the senate trial where president tom could technically be impeached and removed from office but that is not very likely to happen because the republican party is holding the majority there reporting from washington thank you want to get you up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. man mars leader aung san suu kyi has arrived at the international court

of justice in the hague to defend me and maher against accusations of genocide in the case of the over the military campaign against the revenge of minority was brought by the african state of the gambia she is due to speak on wednesday. a gunman has shot dead 6 people at a hospital in the czech republic a shooting occurred in the eastern city of us travel a gunman the later killed himself as police officers approached his car his motive is being investigated. on except to new zealand where authorities there have raised the number of people killed in monday's volcanic eruption 6 people are still missing most presumed dead while dozens are injured many with severe burns search teams are able to return to the volcanic island they fear it could erupt again on how many are asking why tour groups were even allowed

to visit the site in the 1st place after the threat level was raised to was raised rather just last week. it is a search operation because rescues considered unlikely 1st responders are flying over for kerry island after the volcano erupted on monday afternoon local time 47 people were on the island during the eruption most of them had a narrow escape but a few are still missing with little hope of finding them alive. the scale of this tragedy it's devastating police in defense force personnel have undertaken a number of aerial reconnaissance flights are to the island since the eruption however no signs of life have been detected russell clark was one of the 1st on the scene after the catastrophe hit the paramedic flew in by helicopter what he saw when he arrived was shocking. there was just it was just plain to the nation it was it was quite. and i thought well my response feel like you know if there was

a helicopter on the wall and it did it all sleeping there at the time. was that's right it's lights were off it. authorities believe the bodies of the missing people remain on the island but they say it's too dangerous to recover them they feel the volcano crew up to get some people still wait to hear from their loved ones. we do know if i were on the all of these safe. said this morning. he was on they had. knowledge of for so long so. i didn't come out. of the mine we think i might be most people who are not true the new zealand police have said they launched an investigation scientists have noted an uptick in volcanic activity in recent weeks the question to be answered why were people allowed so close to a disaster apparently waiting to happen. exactly

a lot of the questions that are still require an answer and to help us understand what about this a volcanic eruption dr eleanora revolt she works with the german research center for geosciences in pasta and she's with me here in the studio so good to have you here with us dr now obviously there were warnings about increased activity your tour operators still took tourists visitors to the island i'm just wondering do you think that the warning obviously was not taken seriously enough because they would have taken those people there. well i'm not sure about. whether the warning was taken seriously or not but certainly. things don't happen very frequently and that is because very little you know the probability of an event is still people to take our chance and to take in the people because the decided for better thoughts they have their families to feed so actually there should be maybe

a better regulation of these things from above the chances are that not a lot happens but when it does happen that's true it is catastrophic all right now help us understand us the expert how can we can we accurately predict the activity of a volcano nowadays. and now it is a civil kindness that at least a bit easier than earthquakes we are very far from predicting earthquakes but we have closer or often we've managed to predict the volcanic activity. it's easier when the option that is going to happen is big because you will have a very big pressure and deep in the volcano so that they seek a nice would be seen at wide the distance of from the volcano so if you have your money put in not put a can place around a vote cannot this money 30 not that it will pick up earthquakes will pick up the formation and then you will have a few hours maybe a few days' time to actually watch. thought it is then this is what the

vulcanologist do they are right there and then the civil defense needs to take decisions generally they have not taken by by vulcanologists then you have other events like in this case here it's a steam that optional most probably a steamer optional course because maybe the mach one sitting quite shallow in the interfet in system and then you have ground war 30 or maybe a rain water or a anyway you know a bit that they will what they're stable coming into contact with the smog and then you have steam developing very fast maybe in minutes to such an eruption of course maybe you have only minutes time and even if it is small. comparatively very small foot of water kind of corruption because he'd be very dangerous because this steam is of that high temperature and this is very difficult to predict because it's look very vital i've been to stromboli it was amazing go see a volcano we should people be allowed to go visit these sites i mean it is

dangerous if he stands at a stand of invalid at those candles things can always happen. and you time the p.d. so should we start offering people to them i will stop just before these because i'm of 0 cannot exist and i can you know comment on the science but this is like a decision that is influencing the life of people even people who will leave this and need to have a job there dr ellen are revolved works for the german research center for geosciences physics of earthquakes and volcanoes and possibly you for explaining all of that for us we greatly appreciate it. we're going to stay in the region because in australia authorities have issued warnings of dangerous fire conditions as temperatures rise across a large swathes of the country already ravaged by bush fires in sydney australia's largest city usually unmistakeable structures like the harbor bridge and the opera house are blink at it in a cloud of fake smoke weather forecasters expect the situation will get worse with

temperatures predicted to soar above 40 degrees celsius while environmental officials say the conditions in sydney over the last month have been unprecedented and the hot weather combined with gusty winds are making everyday life a struggle for people across the state of new south wales. in a. desperate and helpless the stand before the ruins of their lives 4 weeks ago a bushfire barne through fiona leigh and i are in cruise home taking everything the couple see they knew it was a risk zone but this is far from normal they're angry at their government for not teaching climate change seriously it just makes me bloody angry because. they were saying this is going to happen this is going to happen it's going to happen in the now they told him that there was a very it's happening like we lost our house and politicians are told about this the scientists have been talking about it for bloody about. climate change are not

tracked and so is. christmas is coming but for some. not to be one to cheer. it. in recent months young people across the globe have been taking to the streets some make their voices heard from bogota to the roots they're standing up to demand action on human rights sexual violence corruption and climate change but on global human rights day many are asking are the powers that be actually listening. hongkong. bogota. beirut all around the world young people taking to the streets saying no more business as usual. this you tube or in moscow arrested for organizing protests this past summer that included tens of thousands of demonstrators many of them fed up you are doing you don't look young

people want dialogue with the government but they don't have the means for creating change that civilized countries have asli would like fair elections. so the only option that remains is to take to the streets people are protesting because they want change we didn't quit at the moment but i took what he was a human rights of very much and coached upon in our country and that's because the people themselves have allowed their voices to be ignored. you communion show up certain your. local youth part of a global trend young people standing up for human rights in countries that are run by what they see as out of touch old elites. hong kong ours are demanding more democracy and respect for basic freedoms. and i joined the protest years i think it's important to fight for your rights. if you're just complacent and you don't.

stand up for your rights and your beliefs then they'll get taken away without you realizing when they're. the same in iraq. and sudan. can come along be a young. people insisting the government respond to people's needs we have human rights here in colombia but not for everybody the higher your status the more rights you have if you're at the bottom you have. been out there protesting against sexual violence and government corruption one young woman expressed frustration that protests were necessary at all. it's sad that we as humans these rights it's our rights in each countries we need to have them and it's sad that we have this thing for something that it's our own but that's a. different place is one message young people aware of human rights and of what they're missing pages hope that the authorities listen up before it's too late.

well like to welcome now on the set of all gone but there he is the spokesman for human rights watch a good to have you here sir really remarkable to see almost every continent has had has seen these protests by these young people why are they happening now i mean it's really enormous and if this is all over the will and i think people and want to stand up for their rights with the finance fundamental rights they realize that this oppressed and that their living conditions are not as they want to think specht so it's really thumbs from their from the interest in this and they want to stand up for the rights and fight for that just about the demographics though because these are very very young people mostly not exclusively but mostly who really are stepping up and saying enough is enough if it's any hope for the young people. except in this way in which they have to live i mean also in western countries consider the climate strikes people go on the streets and it's young

people who go on the streets to strike for. for a better policy on climate issues so this is really in their minds and we can only support this movement in this young people who stand up for their for. right so i gather from your answer you're very encouraged by these young people outspoken young people what do you as a human rights organization do to support their cause it i mean today is the international day of human rights and it's really the day to make here the people as a human rights defenders often under very difficult circumstances try to go on the streets try to make their point clear very often they risk their life and i think our. work and our main point is to support these rights defenders of the put the young people to go on the street to give them. access to the media to give the means to political decision makers that their voices are heard and indeed the policy change well exactly i mean that's the whole point of these demonstrations obviously they want to see

a policy change do you see their message being received by the political elites or are those who are in power do you see that there's some wriggle room to effectively implement. it depends on the countries so we have very positive developments when you look at sudan for example where we have no party a civilian government and really regime change has taken place but you know the former president of sudan being imprisoned and not kong there's no you know his no movement not for example in a jury although it's very difficult but you also have to look at the positive developments and i think that with this in mind our aim and our work to support and this is what we're doing right of a company spokesperson for human rights watch there thank you for coming in and everything that you. and staying on the topic of human rights lawmakers in india's lower house have approved controversial legislation that could grant says unship to religious minorities from neighboring countries but not to muslims the law if

approved by the senate on wednesday would grant citizens ship to non muslims who arrived from bangladesh but to stand and afghanistan before 2015. this is the latest flashpoint for india's culture wars protesters in the northeast border region fear the government's new citizenship bill will beckon an influx of migrants by day time the anger hard boiled into rage roads were blocked for hours an effigy of the prime minister hung in the streets. if you did you live garmin is endymion cost it isn't there andy some record there and disagree. with i did. and the lower house of parliament there were right the scenes as the government finally got their bill through. but for this muslim lawmaker no cause for celebration the politics is passed in my mind to find out who got parco.

from clues discriminated in your honor not only who's discriminating on the one hand you stand up and accuse me of singling out the minority what are we doing we are giving the minority their rights just that the orders are from bangladesh pakistan and afghanistan have got. money over. following the vote student groups from the border regions to their voices to the capital critics here say the bell is part of the ruling party's agenda 7. the headed by the tsunami just 1947 and this time in 200-1000 the are not built on another body should we stand with the muslim community of this country come in a citizenship amendment void speaks saying that it wants to see if the prosecutor we have a simple question i answer. why aren't. you has that.

for some opposition to the bill is about demography as much as decency that if this can't come soon to leave and with the maximum number of influx from the neighboring countries it will make a drastic geographical demographic linguistic change. whatever the motivation and what ever the change the bell already stretches to ignite ethnic tensions in india once more. rox that singer marie frederick son has died at the age of 61 that's according to her manager the swedish pop star died on monday after a long battle with cancer her band rock set sold more than 70000000 records worldwide we want to leave you now with a few samples of some of her biggest hits. this is. limitless. my.
