But 1st u. S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she expects public hearings in the impeachment inquiry into President Trump to begin later this month meanwhile the testimony of an aide to the acting white house chief of staff that was due on friday has been postponed until monday but blair is among those who listened to the call between trump and the ukrainian president in july trump is accused of withholding military aid to pressure ukraine into investigating political rival joe biden. So hopefully as we go forward with this the clarity of purpose a clarity of procedure a clarity of fact a clarity of troops its about the truth its about the constitution we will do so in a way that brings people together that is healing rather than dividing they are trying to impeach the president of the United States less than 13 months before an election based on anonymous was of law works with no firsthand knowledge who has a bias against the president its reported that the whistleblower worked with Vice President biden and on it goes the American People see this for what it is because the American People are fair people they are just people they are people with common sense and they will not tolerate this well. For for us from washington d. C. Rosalynn we heard a pretty impassioned defense there of the president the democrats though are determined to get on with these proceedings what is the white house reaction itself. Well the reaction has been what it was before thursdays vote barbara and that was that in the president s view this is nothing more than a political witch hunt an effort to undermine his credibility and his authority especially at a time when he is trying to run for reelection you noted the house Speaker Nancy Pelosi is indicating that they are trying to make the pro and having public hearings sometime before late november no official date has been set yet but they are trying to us spend this coming week trying to interview the last round of witnesses those who was choose to was show up the white house has been quite adamant in trying to prevent some of these people from testifying but some have defied the white houses efforts and have appeared before legislators to answer their questions behind closed doors now all of this is happening as there is a new poll out taken by a. B. C. News and the Washington Post and it shows a sharply divided American Population on the impeachment inquiry as its commonly been described were talking about 49 percent of americans who were surveyed saying that they support the idea of impeaching and then removing the president from office while 47 percent are opposed to both impeachment and the removal of the president when you look at it along party lines the survey has found that 82 percent of democrats favor impeachment and removal 82 percent of republicans are opposed to it there are a couple of other numbers barbara that are worth pointing out that regardless of where they stand politically 55 percent of americans who were surveyed think that what the president did in his engagement with the ukrainian president was improper or perhaps illegal but again when you take a. Back to peoples political views the real question becomes whether or not the president should remain in office the next few weeks should be very interesting as we get to the start of those very public hearings they will be empty for a moment rosalind jordan with the latest from washington thank you.

On a secondary School Student leader is seen here being dragged out of his home by Security Forces without an arrest warrant. Another student leader is taken away illegally from her Apartment Building scenes reminiscent of chiles former military dictatorship. Community activist daniel mina has been sleeping in a different place every night since he filed a complaint with chiles Human Rights Institute so for security reasons he asks to meet us in a park where they would be said to me i was beaten by the police and then they choked me for a long time that was in the twentys circled Police Station and when. Hes in a gun he was eventually released and then nearly lost his right eye 10 days ago when he was hit with a lead pellet during another protest. They operated me here to take out the pellet that hit me here and fortunately got stuck in my eye socket im one of the lucky ones who didnt lose his eye i know people whove lost both eyes after being shot by pellets and tear gas canisters. A mission from the u. N. Commission for human rights is in chile investigating hundreds of charges of abuses by Security Forces from illegal detentions to excessive use of force to torture and rape the Amnesty International says theyve been scores of complaints of sexual abuses even against minors i get the money in which you must take into account that many people are afraid to take legal action against those who may have abused them or family members even after the state of emergency was not.

You see in human aljazeera sente al amarah joins us live now from chinas capital santiago where thousands of people are again on the streets of the protests of course been going on for quite a while doesnt really look like people are going to give up the protests just remind us what the situation is like where you are now. Well things are actually quite peaceful where we are at the moment only about a half a kilometer in the direction that im pointing in right now we just saw a good amount of tear gas being deployed against protesters to disperse a crowd of thousands of people if i had to estimate were looking at possibly tens of thousands of people that have once again come out on the streets of the capital this is not the same scale as the march that we saw take place about one week ago when about 1000000 200000 people took to the streets in peaceful protests the reason that things have gotten a little bit more peaceful here less violence is that the military imports curfew and the state of emergency has been lifted so were no longer seeing the military deployed on the streets of the city but we are seeing police having using heavy handed tactics like tear gas like Water Cannons against Peaceful Protesters but as you can see around me its actually mostly a festive a festive atmosphere were seeing from both protesters despite today being a National Holiday where those day of the dead people are still out on the streets protesting most people tell us that they have no intention of going home no intention of easing up on these protests not only are we hearing a list of grievances that range from low wages low pension an equal access to health care and education they want the resignation of the president but even more deeply than that they want to stand make change were hearing almost across the board from demonstrators that they want the drafting of a new constitution calling for a Constitutional Convention to make systemic changes to bring about a new chile thats what thats what was called people calling for theyre saying that they want the birth of a new country but again what were seeing right now is waves of tear gas that even for our crew im sorry is actually starting to affect us as i as i speak i can feel the tear gas thats about half a kilometer away that wall of tear gas coming towards us but for the most part largely the peace the protests have remained quite peaceful. At that protest. Thank you. Well the ongoing protests saw chile pull out as host of 2 major summits in. 25 summit and the u. N.

Protestors in the chilean capital santiago are marking the day of the dead to remember those hurt or killed during weeks of violent antigovernment demonstrations at least 18 people have died since the un rest began. Schools in banks in lebanon have reopened for the 1st time in 2 weeks after antigovernment protests in the country but there were big concerns of the lebanese government will not be able to shore up its currency or pay its debts particularly if there is a run on the banks lebanon is one of the most heavily indebted countries in the world owing nearly 86000000000. 00 thats 150 percent of its g. D. P. Its Gross Domestic Product of the fragile economy means that ordinary people are feeling the pinch inflation has soared hitting 6 point one percent last year pushing up prices for every big goods the crisis in neighboring syria has also taken its toll the World Bank Estimates that its pushed an additional 2 100000 lebanese people into poverty and up to 300000. 00 have lost their jobs as a result Stephanie Decker reports now from beirut. After 2 weeks of closure the banks finally unlocked their doors there are more people than usual but no panic if you will see it for all sorts of the us some to produce texans it is not very annoying the crowds are not that big i was expecting long queues it is above the normal days by a little there are some distinctions on the dollars in sections with a give us 2500. 00 per week only but they place noticed actions on lebanese pounds the cap on withdrawals and foreign transfers are a way to prevent a mass outflow of funds lebanons economy is already at breaking point so the banks are open schools and universities are slowly following suit and despite some back and forth most of the roads are open too so a sense of normalcy is slowly being restored across the country but by no means is lebanons political crisis over in fact you could argue its only just beginning. For the 3rd time since the protests began hezbollahs secretary general and arguably the most powerful man in the country addressed the nation a son this time a said he didnt support Prime Minister sad how did his resignation and question the road ahead that can walk and what we worry about is a power vacuum that is our concern supposedly in the coming days they will have to designate a new Prime Minister to form a new government all the lebanese must cooperate in order to avoid a power vacuum and a new government should be the government there regains the trust of the people and that should be a priority as president michel aoun spoke on thursday night as scheduled speech marking his 3 years in office he hinted at a possible nonpolitical government saying ministers from now on should be chosen based on their qualifications and not political affiliations but for many here they are empty words decades of mismanagement and corruption have eroded all layers of trust between the people out protesting and those. To have run this country for decades there is also still no date set for the next step in the political process the binding consultations between parliamentary parties and the president and theyre needed to propose a name for the position of Prime Minister a role reserved for a sunni muslim sad how did he whos now serving as caretaker Prime Minister could be nominated again. The message from the street is that words and promises will do nothing to appease the they say the only way to end this is through real palpable action and real change Stephanie Decker aljazeera beirut more than 100000 the government protesters have rallied in areas capital on the anniversary of the countrys Independence Day this comes ahead of next months president ial election which activists say could be manipulated by the military the protests marked the 37th week of demonstrations which 1st began in february and then led to the resignation of longtime leader of the lizzies beautifully in.
