One of the really special things about working for aljazeera is that even as a camera woman i get to have so much empathy and contribution to a story i feel we cover this region better than anyone else would be what it is you know its that it turns out in the but the good because you have a lot of people that are divided on political issues. With the people who believe that tell the real story so ill just mend it used to deliver indepth journalism we dont feel inferior to the audience across the globe. On the streets of greece anti immigrant violence is on the rise you have to go for. This and that this is something and increasingly migrant farm workers are victims of vicious beatings.

But im down in jordan this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up Security Forces are on high alert as polls open across afghanistan for president ial elections. I protest. Crossed egypt for a 2nd successive friday demanding president ceasing steps down plus. The World Community must give the people of kashmir the right of Center Mission and emotional appeal by the pakistani Prime Minister as he warns of a bloodbath in indian administered kashmir. Donald trumps ukraine on has resigned after being named in a whistleblower complaint which sparked an impeachment inquiry into the us president it comes as democrats in the house of representatives issued a subpoena to the secretary of state they want mike on peo to handle the documents relating to contact with the Ukrainian Government reports a few subpoenas landed at the u. S. State Department Late friday evening Congress Demanding documents and testimony from 5 of their officials in the coming days including the u. S. Special envoy to Ukraine Ambassador kurt volker soon after volcker quit his state Department Job this comes just after he and other Top Administration officials were named by a whistleblower in the complaint he alleges the president cut off foreign aid to ukraine and days later in a phone call asked the ukrainian president for a favor a promise to investigate trumps potential rival former Vice President joe biden and his son hunter who once had a seat on the Ukrainian Company board now the u. S. President is trying to turn the tables releasing this ad accusing biden of being in the wrong the prosecutor not fired for not getting the money trump is accusing biden of getting a ukrainian prosecutor fired for investigating his son when in fact the prosecutor was fired for not going after Corruption Cases look in the weeks and the months to come is to congresss job to pursue the facts and to haul donald trump accountable in the meantime my job. Our job to make sure we beat. What does seem clear is that after so many months of trying to investigate not getting very far in this investigation is moving their fast so far the administration is simply tried to ignore congress but now that impeachment has been invoked if they take this case to the courts president says theyll likely force the president to comply to let aides testify to turn over all the documents meaning its possible a lot more of what the president said privately to many other World Leaders could become public and then the congress will have to decide if his words rise to the level of impeachment. Aljazeera washington when only my colleague david the pollen spoke with joel rubin hes a former Deputy Assistant secretary of state and president of the Washington Strategy groupie was also whether he thinks vocus resignation is related to the impeachment proceedings and mr volcker was just subpoenaed by the house of representatives by the committees doing the oversight of this issue and during the impeachment hearings of the Foreign Affairs committee in particular and he has a lot of conflicts of interest that hes going to have to explain and hes going to have to explain his role as well in silicate in contacts between Rudy Giuliani and the government of ukraine not reporting that potentially to the house Foreign Affairs committee in his engagement with congress and why he was named in the whistleblowers memo and thats the key issue here is that the whistleblowers memo named him as one of the individuals who was engaging in this discussion and ultimately in what has brought on impeachment and how important do you think his testimony will be to the impeachment said possibly how damaging could it be to president. Well since hes getting out early compared to some of the others who are part of this broader. Process on the inside he may very well be setting himself up to be somewhat of a hero to those who are calling for impeachment to try to lay out the facts and explain what it is that he saw on the inside its high risk because he too may very well be implicated in covering up some of the worst actions of the president when the president was holding aid for example to ukraine in trying to make a deal with the ukrainian president asking for dirt on joe biden and volcker may very well have known about that and in a sense turned a blind eyes so theres a risk for him but hes going to be a key 1st witness thats for sure and. The secretary of state michael impale has also been subpoenaed what is what is it that you think that they are looking for from him. Well there are going to have some very hard questions about why it is that a private american citizen without a security clearance Rudy Giuliani was engaging in Foreign Policy on behalf of the United States what was he doing who is he speaking to and since apartment who do the have meetings with was he speaking to his secretarys office all the time was he speaking to the secretary of state what authority did he have and what was he trying to achieve what was his role as well in pushing out the American Ambassador who was in ukraine who wasnt on board with this kind of maneuvering so secretary. He needs to come clean and there is going to be a lot of questions about his role in enabling this kind of behavior hundreds of egyptians have defied a security clampdown for a 2nd successive friday and join demonstrations demanding the president steps down their cues Abdel Fattah Elsisi of corruption and destroying the economy Rights Groups are reporting the biggest round of mass arrests. In 2013 after overthrowing the 1st democratically elected president Mohamed Morsi 70 deca as. They took a risk to come out to the streets and protest for a 2nd friday thats despite warnings from egyptian Security Forces that they would face a harsh response aljazeera cannot independently verify these videos but they are said to be in kenya the city in upper egypt and also in near the capital cairo and other reports suggest a large security presence in central cairo with the streets virtually deserted the wrote that you square which has been the heart of previous protests over the years blocked off. Another narrative in what is just as much a Media Campaign state television showing progovernment protests in the capital president abdel fatah al sisi returned to cairo early on friday from the Un General Assembly in new york this welcome posted on his official Facebook Page with the president reassures this crowd that all is well with the market what are you doing here why you got up early on a friday morning life is good and easy you have to know that the egyptians are very aware of how they try to fake the realities unrealistic things and deceive the people for the sake of allah and for the sake of you what happened before will never happen again dont worry and dont be worried good morning to you but despite the president s assurances something is happening here were going out troops all over the streets of cairo now is and we are to do random checks all over the city is a very clear reflection of this governments insecurity. The fact that the thing that runs this government more than anything else is the voice of its own people our government didnt secure any standing at security which little missy and it support among egyptians would be so frightened or terrified by hundreds of protesters in the streets of cairo it started with this man mohammed alley a contractor for the Egyptian Military for 15 years the largest and most powerful institution in the country recently breaking rank uploading videos statements from spain where he now lives in selfimposed exile accusing senior military leaders of wasting millions of dollars to build villas palaces and hotels it hasnt gone down well with many who are finding it hard to live day by day. More recently theres a lot of economic discontent ccs economic policies have mostly failed the wealth gap has increased and egypts poverty rate is rising pretty dramatically hundreds came out to protest last friday what has been the biggest show of discontent against ccs rule Human Rights Watch says nearly 2000 people have been arrested in the last week alone aljazeera is banned from reporting inside the country the Bigger Picture of what is happening here may take time to become clear but it seems once again egyptians have lost their fear and are defying widders to remain silent Stephanie Decker aljazeera when you heard stephanie mention mohammed ali that hes the former Government Contractor whos videos helped spark the protests is issued a new message on social media calling on c. Z. To step down but it is not how the. C. C. S. Way that you will leave power if the people dont want you so please be a man if you would dont let your offices upset the people let them walk in the streets freely you promise the People Freedom so please stop being a lion polls are open in afghanistan for the 4th president ial elections since the fall of the taliban in 2001 an extra 100000 security personnel are on standby following threats of attacks on polling stations from the taliban about 9000000 people are registered to vote the front runner is the incumbent president ashraf ghani his main rival is the countrys chief executive officer of delaware tony burke who joins us live now from kabul tony said despite all the security concerns across the country the election still going ahead how worried are people about going to vote. Well i have to say its very tense at this polling station in kabul at the moment theres a trickle of people coming to vote thats either because its very early or because people are heeding the warnings of the taliban who threatened them and said that they should stay off the roads theyre threatened to hit polling stations and they told people not to vote so it could be partly that but also it could be partly because there is a fatigue here about elections people remember what happened in 2014 and how much corruption was involved and how the americans had to step it step in and broker a power sharing doing a deal between ashraf ghani and Abdullah Abdullah so people are a little bit scarred by that so some people feel its its not worth voting anymore but voting has started its very tense in kabul but we had no incidents reported so far as you said tony the 2014 election was marred by major vote rigging and fraud i mean do people think this election will be any different this time around the people weve spoken to say no they expect pretty much the same if you look at the situation in afghanistan as a whole nothing really has improved ashraf ghani came to power 5 years ago on a ticket promising to end corruption to improve the economy to help poverty none of those things and also security none of those things have happened so people are saying whats the point what is the point in voting when people do not change their lives the ordinary ordinary afghan is in a pretty miserable situation 54 percent of the population are living below the poverty line and security is worse than ever so people are very concerned about that they want to get to a situation where theres peace and people fit believe this election should not have gone ahead without a peace deal with the taliban as we know that was a bright those talks between america and the taliban were abruptly canceled flights
