Jordanian city of cheer rush one of the countrys popular tourist sites. Gas campaigning begins in the u. K. As parliament is dissolved ahead of snap elections that could determine the fate of rex it. Now the impeachment inquiry in sedona will trump is stepping up a gear televised public hearings are set to start next week and one of the 1st to appear is likely to be William Taylor americas top diplomats in ukraine a newly released closed door testimony taylor said it was his clear understanding that the president s has withheld military aid to ukraine thats because he wanted kiev to investigate his political rival joe biden and his son he was working there the testimony matches other witnesses including the United States ambassador to the e. U. I think you will see throughout the course of the testimony not only their testimony but many others the. Most important facts are largely not contested we are getting an increasing appreciation for just what took place during the course of the last year and the degree to which the president and listed the whole departments of government in and be illicit aim of trying to get ukraine to dig up dirt on a political opponent as well as further Conspiracy Theory about the 2016 election that he believed would be beneficial to his reElection Campaign. Well heidi jocasta joins us now live from washington d. C. I say lets start with bill taylors testimony at why exactly is this significance and what did we learn from it. Well taylor who testified behind closed doors 2 weeks ago has been the guide to these impeachment investigators he laid out the road map with key places times and conversations that connected the dots to making this case that trump withheld u. S. Security aide to ukraine in exchange for a Public Statement that ukraine would investigate his political rivals and the transcript of taylors testimony that was released today says that the ambassador had a quote clear understanding of the existence of this quid pro quo and he goes on further saying that the idea for this came from the private attorney of President Trump who was empowered by the president to circumvent the normal diplomatic channels of Foreign Policy in order to carry out the Shadow Campaign that democrats say really prioritized a personal political interests of the president over the interests of National Security but will meanwhile hides in you public fees so thin impeachments inquiry is set to Begin Next Week whats what is likely to change. Well the big picture here is that there the democrats are trying to sell this impeachment case to the American Public and up until this point that case has come from pundits or journalists who have filtered the information because none of these witnesses have spoken in the public its all been closed door hearings so starting next week people like a master bill taylor and others will be summoned to speak about what happened directly into yvel American Television screens even without that having having happened thus far theres a growing number of americans according to polls that do support impeaching and even removing president from that number hovering right around 50 percent but whats key about that is that few of that that number of americans are actually republican supporters and the best of us are hoping to make this case to those republicans who are watching at home who may then indirectly. Support impeachment and give their republican representatives in congress the permission then to defect from their still currently very popular president because ultimately as you know its those Senate Republicans who would need to vote to remove trent from office. Thank you very much. That list say with joe marshalls and assistant professor at Northwestern University and also over walter gates legacy and the press the in this case of impose so he joins us now live from chicago thank you so much for being with us here on ill just 0 there have be many comparisons made between the nixon and the trump impeachments what lessons do you think have been learned in this regards and what similarities some of there between the 2. Well i think as your reporter was just saying Public Opinion is going to be a crucial factor and during watergate leading up to the house judiciary impeachment hearings Public Opinion really wasnt in favor of impeachment it was pretty close to the same levels we were seeing in this country a month or so ago and then as more and more evidence came out during the house judiciary committees hearings Public Opinion really started to turn and that encourage some of the more moderate republicans to start working with some of the democrats to come up with articles of impeachment that they could actually agree to vote on do you think were likely to see a similar process a marriage this time right. So one of the differences now is that the parties are more polarized than they were in the 1970 s. And there are much fewer moderates on both sides who might come together so the if the if the senate is gushy going to vote to convict trump assuming that the house votes for the or articles of impeachment those senators are going to need to hear very strongly from their constituents that they support impeachment and at this point that hasnt that hasnt happened yet the polling numbers are starting to shift and the Election Results last night might also be sending Senate Republicans a message. How significantly will the Public Opinion have to shift though and given what weve been seeing the has been a loss of information coming out in the media this inquiry hasnt reached the public face yet but we have been learning an awful lot about the testimony in a by the the basis of this impeachment inquiry how much do you think Public Opinion will have to shift to push the republicans in the senate to support this impeachment. Well what i think were going to see happen is the inquiry turned from an investigation stage primarily to more of a performance stage now that we have some of the transcripts coming out people are so seeing it with with their eyes the words that the witnesses have been saying and then what next week when the live hearings start which will be televised and im sure streamed all over social media people are going to see for themselves the witnesses and hear for themselves the words and whether the chairmanship and chairman navl are can run hearings that are persuasive to the public and perform in a way that makes the impeachment inquiry seem like its a fair and thorough process that could really sway Public Opinion in contrast if the House Republicans are able to perform in a way to try to make the impeachment process seem like its chaotic and unfair and im sure theyre going to call it a circus then that is going to probably stop Public Opinion shifting enough to persuade enough republicans to vote in favor of impeachment and so both sides really have quite a lot to lose here it doesnt just come down into the the coincidence as i see these transcripts on from the the arguments going backwards and forwards that raise a certain amount of of Stage Management of Media Management said indeed one could argue social Media Management that may come to play in this. I think thats going to be a critical 11. 00 difference today from what happened during watergate is we now have a president who tweets which obviously Richard Nixon couldnt do in 1974 so trump has and i expect will continue to be treated tweeting constantly about impeachment and being able to communicate directly to his base of supporters which will make it more difficult to shift Public Opinion than it was in the 1970 s. 4 president s could communicate that directly to their public nixon would have had to go do a press conference or make a speech somewhere to try to rally his base and probably not as effectively as trump is able to do today and it will indeed be fascinating to see how that unfolds but for now John Marshall joining us now live from chicago thank you very much indeed for your thoughts thank you very much for having me now iran has resumed enriching uranium s. An underground facility it began injecting uranium gas since the centrifuges that the forward to plants just over 2 hours ago so on has been scaling back on its commitments to the 2050 new clear deal after the u. S. Pulled out of the accords and reimposed sanctions president Hassan Rouhani has accused European Partners of not doing enough to help its avoid the sanctions that are hurting its economy also jabari has more from to her on. The foregoing Nuclear Facility near the city of call me is now fully operational according to Irans Atomic Energy Organization just past midnight the uranium gas has been injected into centrifuges of that site and that is where the marines have said they will start producing. About 5 percent the reigning present has some rouhani said this measure has been taken this is the 4th step they are taking to scale back their commitment to the nuclear deal of 2015 now this facility the fordo site became a Research Facility as of january of 2016 under the green meant and that is because this is the only site in iran that is able to enrich uranium at 20 percent they were a means have said that they are taking this measure because the european signatories of the way are not upholding their and of the deal and this is the most serious step that theyve taken and until the european signatories show that they are committed to this Nuclear Agreement iran will continue to scale back its commitments but the president has to stress that all these measures theyve taken so far are reversible as soon as the European Countries show full compliance. Well the process to enrich uranium is complex laura bird to man the brig star in her. Iran is moving away from the 2015 nuclear deal and further enriching uranium now lets take a look at just how this is done youre radium is a mind metal that contains 2 isotopes 99. 3 percent is uranium 23. 00 eights and the rest you raney m 235 and its that much smaller isotope the can release enough energy to fuel a Nuclear Reactor or a bomb but for that it needs to be enrich and this is done in centrifuges that spin the element 4 Senior Iranian 235 into the center but thats time consuming and difficult but it becomes easier as uranium is further refined now before the nuclear deal came into effect iran was a rich in uranium at 20 percent now its 5 percent which is enough for the moment to meet its nuclear fuel needs but it would need between 85 and 90 percent to make a Nuclear Weapon its also using more advanced i r 6 centrifuges to enrich uranium faster now the countrys leaders say the Nuclear Program is for peaceful purposes.

Chile is chief prosecutor has charged 14 Police Officers for allegedly torturing and seek government protesters demonstrations are now in their 20th day theres anger over inequality in one of latin americas richest nations the president has proposed an increase in the minimum wage its the latest in a series of concessions that have so far failed to pacify protesters who are left in america at solution human joins us now from santiago lucier 40 charges brought against the police what does that signify in terms of how seriously authorities are taking those allegations. Well the president had promised that any allegations of Police Brutality would be investigated and punished if they were found guilty and so this clearly is a is a signal in the right direction but. If the court of human rights here in chile is saying that at least 128. 00 protestors have been victims of torture and so much more needs to be investigated and many more officers need to be charged they say theyre also talking about that the number of people whove been hit in the 5 projectiles fired by Security Forces now going up to 128 many of them causing very. Very serious injuries including blindness. Continuing theyre showing no signs of still the president keeps making proposals to try to. I mean how is it looking just now do you think president pinera can survive this. And thats a very good question right now he has said that he will not step down that he will see out his mandate that thats why he was elected and that he has the responsibility to see this through his responsibility to the chilean people but he did announce a 16. 7 percent increase of the minimum wage that increase subsidized by taxpayers not by employers and that hasnt that hasnt at all is the protests in fact some of them came to this area where we are right now this is the area of the business sector the more affluent part of the hour which was full of protesters tear gas. And water cannon for the 1st time since these protests began in about 3 or 400 meters behind me its not quite right.

As campaigns go its been a shaky start for the conservatives and a sign of just how unrestrained this Election Campaign may be coming because 7 has posted a doctorate in social media video of labors brecks it spokesman dhamma and then refused to apologize when called out for it. Just moments before the Prime Ministers speech a letter arrived from cabinet minister allan cans tendering his resignation of allegations which he denies that he lied about his knowledge of a collapsed court case cans was lined up to lead the conservative campaign in wales and his loss is a blow and those setbacks came off the back of controversial and much criticised comments by senior conservatives about the ground felt how a fight for the rich but this is a marathon not a sprint the 2 main parties are being challenged by the climate initiatives of the green party targeted pressure from your family just bricks of party the separatist vision from the scottish nationalists a new optimism from pro remain liberal democrats and liberal democrats by for the full action to whitney so that we can stop wrecks it and create a brighter future.

Here as President Donald Trump says talks went well with officials from egypt ethiopia and see done over a new dam being built on the nile river the african ministers gathered in washington for talks aimed at reducing tensions over the projects if european has been building what it calls the renee someone stand near its northwestern border with sudan for about 8 years no egypt fears the dam could reduce the flow of the nile river downstream which accounts for nearly 90 percent of their water supply the 5000000000. 00 project as part of ethiopias plan to produce enough energy to meets its growing demands well analysts fear the dispute could escalate if it isnt reached before the project is completed in 2022 well jazzers mike hanna has the latest from washington d. C. Well it came as a surprise when the Foreign Ministers arrived in the white house for talks with President Trump thered be no prior notification whatsoever and news of the meeting was only confirmed when the president himself tweeted a photograph with the Foreign Ministers after the talks had taken place he said that the meeting went well and that discussions would continue the 3 Foreign Ministers are in d. C. For talks under the mediation of the treasury secretary steve this is a curious choice by president to head talks given that this would normally be a function fulfilled by the department of state however the talks continue through the day very low profile no media access whatsoever in fact was never confirmed where the meeting was taking place how long it took there has been promise of a written statement when the talks conclude however this is a significant shift forward in terms of the fact that the talks between the 3 parties have broken down 3 times since 2014 the important point would appear to be ethiopias willingness to come to d. C. For a long period of time it insisted there can be no outside mediation if the situation has to be resolved between the 3 parties themselves however the fact that the foreign minister was here in d. C. Was speaking to the other 2 Foreign Ministers and to the mediation of the u. S. Treasury secretary a very strong indication that they could be movement that after years of argument there is a possibility of some kind of agreement in the months to come. In the last few minutes we have heard from the. From the treasury secretary in the us they say that the all the parties have agreed to hold for technical meetings to work towards completing an agreement by the 15th of january 2020 and they will be meeting again in washington on december 9th and january 13th lets get more on this there from joseph segal hes director of research for the Africa Center for strategic studies at the National Defense university and joins us now live from washington d. C. Good to have you with us on the program and 1st on this dispute has been rumbling on for quite some time now why has it come to a head no and why is the u. S. Getting involved. Well i think those are key questions that we are trying to understand as you said the negotiations have been going on a technical level off and on for several years and. You know theyre altering our counts about how well they were progressing but they were consistently being held and then in october. Egyptians pulled out saying that they were at a stalemate and president sisi then said he wanted to appeal to to the u. S. To see if if the u. S. Can help to move the process forward and so effectively appealing to political option for for resolving the. Disagreement rather than continuing on the technical front. Its getting quite serious is it not because there have been there have been threats of of military action being being levied by certainly by egypt in one case and of course with with 90 percent of their water supply at risk it really is good at getting to court its a critical point just how serious do you think this kid gets if this these talks in the u. S. To manage to secure some kind of breakthrough. Well it is serious in that you know egypt relies heavily on the nile river water for its agricultural industrial and consumption needs it says on the ethiopian side too theyve invested 5000000000. 00 of their own resources and really made this part of their National Identity and attempt to. You know boost their economy through Additional Energy production that said. This process has been unfolding on a technical level and there have been constructive discussions really a lot of the debate is about how quickly the dam should be filled so that it doesnt disrupt the downstream flow and so i think we have to take that into account that in some ways the meeting. In washington are a bit of political jockeying i think to see the shift in part where they can get a better deal then they can exert more pressure on the ethiopians whether they can internationalize the discussion and so i think thats what well have to monitor and see what comes out of washington and we often hear the the phrase the next world war will be about war do you think if this if these kind of discussions cant get resolved this could be a growing trend especially on the continent of africa where water of resources really arent in precious supply. Well i think. Throughout history there have been issues of managing shared Water Resources that south i dont think this is anything different with growing population. There will be more pressure on available Water Supplies but you know both sides egypt and if you hope to have at different times said you know this is only resolvable through negotiation. You know there have been you know different statements of saber rattling in the past but really i think all sides realize theyre going to have to figure out a way of sharing this resource then and the question is how to do it in a way that is reliable that builds confidence among all sides that is technically based and maintains oversight you know even after they reached agreement for this stage theyre going to be other issues down the line so i think whats important is the mechanism where all the parties are brought in and have a way of talking to each other ok Joseph Siegel great to get your thoughts thank you so much for joining us live from washington thank you. My process has continued inside on for a 2nd night as people block the roads leading to the airports in the capital khartoum they want an investigation into the death of the season as Police Officer in egypts capital cairo he had refused orders to protesters in front of Army Headquarters in june and sent that he knew who gave the launches for the attack and that he had evidence to back up his claim. The french government has announced tough new immigration policies is cracking down on Illegal Immigrants and preparing quarters for Foreign Workers river seen as an attempt to win over voters from the far right the township up there has more from paris. After french capital meeting in paris france as Prime Minister edouard phillipe announced a raft of new measures aimed at tightening the countrys immigration policy. We must take back control of immigration taking back control making clear choices about asylum and integration granting the right stay years actively based on our principles and goals rather than passively carried out as long as the case. The government wants to introduce immigration quotas for workers and attempt to address the countrys Skilled Labor shortage in industries such as construction there also plans to tighten rules for Asylum Seekers access to health care would be limited and benefits more rigorously controlled the number of asylum applications has increased in france in recent years and the government says it must crack down on those who abuse the system rights campaigners say that Asylum Seekers already face very difficult conditions in files many of them end up sleeping rough in makeshift camps like this one in paris and the thing is that the governments new measures will only make the situation worse. The Prime Minister says friends must regain its sovereignty well before cantor wants to be more southern which will start by getting rid of this undignified camps in our cities then we can talk about sovereignty and humanity. Halfway through his president ial term emanuel macro is taking a tougher line on immigration but its a gamble he may succeed in wooing voters away from his main political opponents the far right and stem the rise of what he calls dangerous populism but he also risks alienating some supporters who say that hes failing to uphold frances humanitarian values the sasha butler aljazeera paris. Their head of the United Nations agency for Palestinian Refugees has resigned that certain vesa geisha Management Issues connected to peer kronborg as a plan are diplomats get search aims base has this reports from the United Nations. Pierre crack and bullheaded annorah the u. N. Agency that helps palestinians for more than 5 years he was widely perceived as one of the uns best communicators yet that from a humanitarian point of view there is one very fundamental difference but in recent months hes been at the center of controversy after allegations of mismanagement involving his inner circle his deputy and his chief of staff quit in july but its believed his chief advisor maria mohamedi seen here remains in her job a leaked ethics report said she was given a favored position one bull took her on most of his trips using his authority to secure her Business Class travel their relationship the report said created a toxic atmosphere the u. N. Says after secretary general antonio good terrorists placed mr crack and bill on administrative leave of absence he finally resigned i think its also important to reiterate that the preliminary findings of the this oil worse report exclude fraud or misappropriation of operational funds by the commission for general they are however managed they were however managerial issues that need to be addressed someone was bumped up to business because they had a very favorable relationship with the commission in general with that amount to misappropriation or order in your view i cannot go into further detail at this point ive spoken to ambassadors from many of the main donor countries to under and to those close to the un secretary general is a real feeling of dismay at the way things have worked out theres been a distraction in recent months from the important work the agency does for palestinians one gets the sense from most of them that they would have preferred the commissioner general to fall on his sword earlier jamesburg days out at the United Nations.
