So a moment off some opportunity on syria but it is worth remembering what is going on in the north of syria province which is where many people have fled to as the Syrian Government and their russian allies have picked off the various what we call deescalation zones it live is the last one the population that swelled to over 3000000 people they now have nowhere to run to and theyre being bombarded by the Assad Government and by their russian allies and so i think there is a fear that although theres all this talk about diplomacy the Syrian Government may still be banking on a military solution well the u. S. President donald trump has once again waded into the impeachment inquiry tweeting on monday the fake whistleblower complaint is not holding up its mostly about the call to the ukrainian president which in the name of transparency immediately released to congress on the public he goes on to say the whistleblower knew almost nothing he says the secondhand description of the call is a fraud then in a 2nd tweet trump says senior democrat adam schiff illegally made up a fake and terrible statements and pretended it was the president s he says so if Statement Read to congress bore no relation to what trump said on the call to the ukrainian president he finishes that tweet with a rest for treason for more lets bring in our White House Correspondent kelly halkett in washington and on the issue of adam schiff what are we to make of the fact that the president has undermined him and is basically accusing him of treason. Well these 2 men are definitely not friends we can certainly take that away from the latest tweet and that has been consistent for through Donald Trumps presidency what we can pull back from in all of this is that its clear the strategy from the white house is to once again as we saw in the russian vest a geisha and to make donald trump the main Spokes Person so what weve seen in this flurry of emotional tweets from u. S. President donald trump since this impeachment inquiry began is that he is floating if you will a number of different arguments that the legal team behind him is using as his defense by putting these tweets out there this is becoming part of the Public Discourse so whether its undermining the man who is chairing the House Intelligence Committee very active in the inquiry whether or not it is calling into question the whistleblower by the mere fact that there is one weakness in the whistleblowers argument and that is that he or she was never actually present for this telephone call between the u. S. President and the ukrainian leader that is the focus of this impeachment inquiry bees are the types of arguments that are being made in defense of the president now one of the tweets by the u. S. President certainly is concerning though the last 24 hours would be the one where the president did reference. Pastor who would previously had been campaigning for him out of dallas texas who said that any sort of impeachment inquiry would essentially be sort of risking the United States fracturing sort of along civil war lines and this is a step too far for Many Americans who feel that mere suggestion when there is already a divided america is deeply concerning something that could potentially even be dangerous from the office of the white house and further one member of the president s own party even calling the actions of the president to suggest that on twitter. Ignat and kimberly we see whats happening sort of from the public sphere and certainly on twitter with the president s tweets but behind closed doors and perhaps you know in private so are we getting a sense of how worried trump is about this an inquiry not only him but those around him. 8 appears that there is an increasing sense of gravity of the situation you know you have to remember that the russia investigation that mire this white house for more than 2 years has just wrapped up and now if there is more controversy another in impeachment inquiry or rather another controversy in the form of the impeachment inquiry that could go until the american thanksgiving in november at least at the soonest theres a sense of frustration a sense of weariness and we understand theres also been a bit of surprise on the part of the president that this has taken hold now in terms of how this is moving forward we know that there are depositions that the house of representatives this chasing after this week us members representatives to ukraine that are being deposed we also know that there is a potential closed door hearing happening at the end of the week but from the Inspector General testifying before congress with regard to what he knew about this whistleblower complaint and then in the midst of all this the whistleblower potentially speaking to congress those are still details that are being worked out but we understand that there are negotiations underway with the whistleblowers lawyer and congress in order to make that testimony happen all right Kimberly Halkett with an update from the white house thank you.

In human rights of course there is the trade war with the United States but some analysts believe the biggest problem that china is going to be facing in the coming years is its own economy china has made significant efforts to open up trade particularly to Foreign Investors but experts warn there arent enough private businesses to generate innovation and create jobs they say the government of xi jinping is increasing its domination of chinas economy what weve seen since he took power is hes an authoritarian i mean hes an authoritarian like but again like putin i mean they all come from very different backgrounds but that instinct is to centralize chinas government says its determined to keep its society stable it keeps a tight grip on the media and the internet it discourages comment and criticism particularly from foreigners on topics it would guard to sensitive or simply chinas own business anyone cannot really understand china if he or she adopts a very ossified perspective or is very eager to put a label on china because china is changing so many of the misinterpretation a misunderstanding is probably because of lack of on the stand the other rapid changes in china china may be changing rapidly but preventing its economy from stagnating could become its greatest challenge rob matheson aljazeera beijing afghan president ashraf ghani his main rival has claimed victory in saturdays election and official results is yet to be released and counting is still taking place in the pendent Election Commission says its too early to declare a winner Tony Berkeley has the latest from kabul. Mr abdullah said he got the majority of the votes but it doesnt necessarily mean hes got enough to become president to do that he would have to have 51 percent but its hard to know where hes getting his inside information from so far 3750 polling stations have sent in their votes that and that accounts for about 2100000 people but the still another 750 polling stations that still have to send in their votes the actual interim results will not be known until october the 19th and then the final result will be announced on november the 7th to become president you need 51 percent of the vote if they know they can do it gets that then it goes to a 2nd round probably later in november but maybe mr abdel is posturing for his own supporters maybe he has some inside information it just goes to show that a lot of people here believe in conspiracies they believe that this election has been rigged pretty much like the one in 2014 at that time mr abdullah won the 1st round of voting and then president danny won the 2nd round of voting and it took some tense months for the 2 men to agree to Work Together in a power sharing government mr ashraf ghani as the president and mr Abdullah Abdullah as the chief executive officer and that was done with some strong arm tactics by the then u.

All stress former chancellor sebastien current says Coalition Talks are likely to be more challenging this time round after his partys victory in sundays election the 33 year old leader is looking for new partners to form a government and says his 1st priority will be Economic Growth a mccain reports from vienna. On a Sunny Afternoon people here taking stock of sundays election its clear who the newspapers think is the leading man now sebastien courts faces a choice of who to govern with. Tries to get talks with all the other parties in the parliament and try to form a government to firths for the people of austria in vienna people speculate that might mean the greens who muscle their way back into parliament with their best ever results and who might be prepared to work with courts if you will compromise the using the word for word and we are well prepared for these discussions and i can only say that we will campaign for changes in this country especially regarding climate protection but also in terms of integration that is the mandate that we got. Unlike the far right Freedom Party whose vote share plummeted due to the Corruption Scandal its former leaders caused in the spring seemingly condemning their parliamentary colleagues to a spell in opposition and in effect meaning there are now no far right parties in government in much of western europe some analysts believe this absence from power may only be temporary it will always be a roller coaster day here to stay there will be a huge market for liking populist parties. And because there is enough anger and distrust in the population with the political system to feed the success of right wing parties and yet here in austria that political tendency is currently in check left to lick its own selfinflicted wound its one watches its former partner bask in the glow of electoral success for the past 4 months this federal chancellery has been run by a caretaker government but after sundays election result its pretty clear that no matter who sebastien courts governs with he will be the chancellor dominic kane aljazeera vienna. The greek government says at least 3000. 00 refugees and migrants on the island of less boss will be moved to the mainland following a deadly fire at an overcrowded camp at least one Asylum Seeker was killed when the blaze broke out on sunday 17 others were injured around 12000. 00 people are currently hows that the morea camp which is more than 4 times the sites capacity severally greece has also announced plans to send another 10000 migrants back to turkey by the end of 2020 following an emergency Cabinet MeetingLeonard Doyle is head of communications at the International Organization for migration he says the issue of overcrowding in greek migrant camps is caused by an even distribution. The numbers of those who are dying on route is is remains relatively small about 61 dis year so far there was a tragedy last weekend but there is a very big problem of overcrowding being in in less force in some us and cheers and this problem is because an overwhelming number of the migrants and refugees driving are being placed here rather than being distributed more equitably if you wish around other European Countries although there are steps in the right direction happening there following a meeting in mata last week there certainly is the beginning in this beginning of a recognition that there needs to be a more Fair Distribution that is unfair on the socalled front line countries greece spain and that their politics are roiling as a result of it and undoubtedly its equally politically difficult in other countries but i think following last weeks meeting in malta there is a recognition that something has to happen you know have germany and france in particular join. This effort but thats not the solution at the end of the day they will be relocated to have their cases assessed they may still be asked to go back to returned home voluntarily so the bigger issue is how do we deal with these flows and whats the root cause of why are they coming here whats that whats driving it and how to try and we tackle that.

During yes and in fact we actually have to come inside and take shelter from a downpour that just started here in Port Au Prince potentially a slowing down protests that were planned for today of course over the weekend we saw much we saw slowdown not really the same kind of protests and violence that took place last week but of course amid this process protests and rastan and the fuel shortages its always the poorest that are worst affected we want to give you a sense of what its like for average people here in haiti since the unrest began to take a look. At the weeks protests against haitian president should no mores have paralyzed much of the capital Port Au Prince.
