This constitutional process so its hard to imagine that this will actually be completed and i think that the people who are hesitant and who are doubtful about his successors of its possibilities for success are probably you know have a lots of reasons to be doubtful so then what could make it work what could be done differently. Within this framework that that that we see set up already. I cant do you know the world is exhausted by civil war in syria theyre not going to go back to war the world made it a choice president obama made a choice trump is making a choice which is day they dont want to see this government overturned through military force they got spooked by the rise of isis which is still powerful and it led province and they allowed the regime to endure despite this terrible civil war and bloodletting and i dont see where that dynamic is going to change in the near future weve seen dictatorship reassert itself across the middle east and the west has really thrown up its arms and doesnt really know what to do in places like libya in afghanistan its a hard its a hard sell to try to see how democracy is going to come to syria in the immediate future and yet and what theyve made this point quite clearly in his General Assembly speech that the u. S. And turkey still influential theyre up in the north and still as the way he put it fighting over again and making decisions without syrias input up there and so there is this still interested but maybe its more selfserving. It perhaps is selfserving you know both claim that theyre getting leverage and thats what americans want to do American Homes 30 percent through this Syrian Democratic forces if they stay have named it and and turkey has taken this big hunk of territory now syria and russia are termonde that thats not going to stand forever and if we see in afghanistan america is beginning to think twice after 20 years of presence close 20 years about staying in that country so i think assad is making a calculation that with time. The United States will get tired of supporting a small vaguely independent country in the north and standing up this kurdish Led Coalition because itll be expensive over time and its hard to see how a small country in the north northeastern syria can defend itself because it doesnt have an air force and america is unlikely to supply it with an air force and therefore it will become a sitting duck in the in the distant future if the United States doesnt remain there and thats you know thats the dilemma that people can see down the future but perhaps america will stay there for the next 456 years we dont really know and neither do the kurds not to the people in Northern Syria so if this is you know this is a work thats not finished yet Joshua Landis always interesting talking to you thanks for your time.

A dispute over where he should be laid to rest the government had wanted the 95 year old buried at a National Cemetery but then backtracked after complaints from the recovered family more on this from heart of. Relevant obvious family had a private burial but before that it was a Church Service a child so people to come and say goodbye we heard from several family members his sister in norton say that he was adamant he did not want to be buried in the National Heroes like a cemetery in the capital because he was angry at the way the army removed him from power in 27000. 00 he said the way he was treated by the army and the current government was demeaning some traditional leaders dont agree with the fact that he was buried in the rural villages in by they says the Founding Fathers and why we should invade at the heros epicenter there are reports that some of those leaders those chiefs were told not to attend the burial what does involving think of all this well usually in this country when someone dies it takes about a week before someone is buried in a garden has kept mainly at his residence at his house in the capital harare of the proof for more than that some people had time to wonder what is going on and to speculate one period was maybe grace mugabe is why i didnt write some buried at the here is a case. Where his 1st wife sally in a theory is as grace in theory will never be considered a hero because she never 40 in white minority rule so bearing. The means when she one day dies she will be buried next to her son it will also save perhaps a family trying to hold out for as long as possible so they can make sure certain guarantees are in place the speculation that some of them want guarantees that they can keep their welfare must over the years and if they are dragged to Court One Day for whatever reason they only protected by the state they have some people them were concerned that if his body was not buried with they could keep a close eye on the gravesite some of his body parts. For which rituals of his enemies or this isnt playing out in florida what people know now is that he has finally the day perhaps in a couple of days a couple of weeks when the family starts talking so obviously get a sense of the back story what happened in the controversy and the delay in the airing robert.

At this time on aljazeera feels like one of our biggest strengths is that we talk to normal everyday people we get them to tell their stories and doing that really reveals the truth people are still gathered outside these gates waiting for any information most of them dont know whether that loved ones are alive or dead or miami really is a place where 2 worlds meet we can get to washington d. C. 2 hours to get it on joyce and the rest of central bankers about the same time but more importantly is why those 2 cultures north and south america beat us to teach it like its a very important place felt it was a big. Deal the news on. Here at aljazeera on these around top stories vote counting is under way in afghanistans 4th president ial election one in 5 polling stations didnt open because of security concerns several explosions also occurred the taliban have vowed to stop people from voting. Syrias foreign minister has used his address to the u. N. To demand the immediate withdrawal of all Foreign Forces while he says the u. S. And turkish presence in Syria Violates International Law and yemens hooty rebels say thousands of enemy forces have surrendered after a cross Border Military campaign as they targeted the sudden sandy region of and captured several. Offices and weapons. The u. S. Special envoy to ukraine has become the 1st casualty in a widening impeachment inquiry quit after being named in a whistleblower complaint they accuse the white house of trying to cover up a phone call between president onil trump and ukraines leader the support from patty. 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. 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. 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 very 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 i mean 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. L. Just here in washington just a quick look now at the man who has resigned as special envoy to ukraine cote focus we say veteran diplomat he served as u. S. Ambassador to nato under george w. Bush he became a special envoy to ukraine on a volunteer basis to help the country result its conflict with russian backed separatists vocal was among several officials named by the whistle for trying to contain the damage from Donald Trumps phone call with the ukrainian leader but without a gala in washington d. C. Is this a case of his position just becoming untenable given the circumstances. Well its basically a bit more complicated than not i mean theres also accusations now that phone calls between President Trump and Vladimir Putin and phone calls between President Trump and saudi royals were also siphoned off into this super secure server where its not supposed to go but i think what were seeing here certainly if you listen to Speaker Pelosi talk about how they want to proceed they really want to focus on this phone call with the selenski because its a simple matter for the American Public to understand they dont want this to become one of the muller inquiry 2 years very amorphous very complicated this is far more simple than that did President Trump by withdrawing funds and then asking for a favor a dirt on a political rival and then potentially releasing those funds is that impeachable if we start to get into all these of the phone calls and other accusations that could get complicated for the democrats because they are moving at lightning speed theyre staying here during the recess to keep on going with this and they want to move on it quickly so it is perhaps the biggest challenge for President Trumps tenure in office so far its a dangerous situation for him but its dragging all sorts of other people in as well what was Rudy Giuliani at trumps personal lawyers role in all of this hes already saying the state department told him to do it people throwing each other under the bus already it definitely doesnt look good for the president especially with a general election very rapidly approaching next year so in the near term andy what are we looking at as far as the inquiry goes more hearings on capitol hill. Yeah more hearings on capitol hill where were working through the recess as i said my pompei o the secretary of state has been subpoenaed 3 times at least already hes not been. Responding to those subpoenas he needs to do that bill bob the attorney generals also been implicated in all this because President Trump mentioned his name several times during the call and of course then theres the whistleblower the man no woman whose identity will remain secret but wants to give evidence to the various committees looking into this that all perhaps be done behind closed doors but they are not wasting any time here Many Democrats say this is not a political move but one which protects the very founding principles of this country they say the president what hes doing is definitely impeachable but the white house is saying look we kept some of these conversations locked away because there have been so many leaks from the white ass if you think about conversations with the president of mexico the Prime Minister of australia they say thats why theyve been doing that but for the American Public this is a simple question did dont trump ask for a favor in return for dirt on a political opponent its pretty clear cut in terms of understanding whats going on ultimately maybe the American Public to decide whether don trump is being honest or not in the general election next november that extraordinary terms and economic effect for that. Now at least 4 people have been killed off days of violent protests in haiti demonstrators are accusing president of corruption and blame him for a food and fuel shortage they say they will continue protesting until he resigns with us now from Port Au Prince. Chaos has taken over the streets of Port Au Prince. What started as demonstrations over an ongoing fuel shortage has grown into a nationwide protest calling on haitian president just now to resign no diplomat the president promised the haitian people to lift them from poverty to pull them out of the dirt and when he became president he made everything work. On friday thousands took to the streets authorities in the haitian capital tried to control the crowd but with little effect mobs of angry demonstrators broke into buildings and looted businesses god. Several people have died. One Police Station was vandalized by looters and nearly set on fire people could be seen running off with police skiers things like riot shields body armor and anything else they can perry thank you but those years if the president really loves haiti he should resign he should wait for there to be more looting in the streets for him to resign. With nightfall the streets of the haitian capital have quieted down and the city is now under a sort of selfimposed lockdown haitian president of the always continues to call for a National Dialogue but opposition leaders havent said as demonstrators to continue to protest and continue to pressure the president to resign meaning the unrest in the country is likely to continue madrid up Port Au Prince has now an economist and professor at University Joining us on skype from Port Au Prince. How strong are these protests i mean we see these pictures there theyre you know theyre on our screens and theyre very strong i want to know about the actual strength of the movement the numbers and the and how how long they could keep going. The vote those are getting stronger and stronger its been like a human are sins people actually take industry at the street to protest against the government and the president. And then more and more who are sions candle and more insults fiction. When when days old what can promise is from the president and people getting more angry and more excited about that and more and more d of them ization more private sector more Civic Society people actually are in the side demanding the president to to step down so thats why yesterday he was reduced form not only going to capital but also in other cities individual does he the president actually can say that there is a problem that there are high costs of living that theres corruption that there are all these issues and if the at least say yes ill try to do something about it. Its everything at the same time its not corruption its a living and also the president it is. Time to really put a government in place since march so does it does for the congress anymore doesnt have a Strong Political support anymore so the opposition getting morse stronger every day so everything combined at the same time corruption corso cleaving i can also inequality and bad management and also the president yes so many promises it been giving for years now and he cant actually realize those promises do you think its just a matter of time then till he does step down or is even thrown out because what youve just described there is basically hes in charge of a country where no one supports him its very difficult to put this article violent and then like everyone is fed up now and maybe i mean i dont know whats going to happen next but the president seems like hes so weak it doesnt have the capacity to really bones back and take control now we are facing. A failed government a failed state was not able to really take control of the streets thats what i mean thank you so much for joining us today from Port Au Prince we do appreciate it my pleasure.
