Would in the past our former bolivian president evo morales has landed in mexico city after the government there offered him asylum he was greeted by the Mexican Foreign minister told the crowd waiting he had no plans. Retired from politics back in bolivia supporters of more or less have rallied in the city of el al told they believed he was the victim of a coup when all is resigned on sunday after weeks of protests following his disputed reelection and we have several correspondents covering this breaking news story from all angles today sub 0 is in alto which is a more or less stronghold Mariano Sanchez is in the bolivian capital and well be speaking to them in just a moment but 1st lets go to john homan who is in mexico city for us so john you were there as the now former believed president landed as he was seeking asylum there in mexico just bring us up to speed there on how it all unfolded and what mr morality plans to do now. You can still see actually the plane behind us that brought him here were pretty much the only people left on the scene the drama is over for the moment but it was a very long night for expresident ever moralise and for the Mexican Government they were trying to bring him here there was problems with bringing him through the heiress space of several countries there were negotiations in the night in the end he had to take a sort of tourist route that involved a stopover in paraguay to get here its a mexico but once he got here he did give an impromptu speech just as he went through the ranks of reporters and as you mentioned he said that hes not going to retire from politics he said before that he hopes that this is just a chance to get fresh going to get energized and then to go back he said that his only crime was trying to help the poorest of the most vulnerable in bolivia and he has definitely done that during his time hes almost 14 years in power hes almost halt the extreme poverty rate in the countries had a lot of social. Programs that have helped people to get houses that have helped people to get jobs hes also the countrys 1st indigenous president in its history so all of that he said that that was his only crimes bits to stand up for the Indigenous People of course his opponents would see things differently they point to the fact that he tried to change the constitution to run in the elections that bolivia had 3 weeks ago that he held a referendum to change that constitution that the population there already said no to that and he did it anyway and then in the election the organization of american states said that there were lots of irregularities so for president morales this was a coup that has forced him into exile in mexico we remember of course that the military publicly came out and said suggested they put it that he resigned but for his opponents this is a chance for a transition in bolivia for a new elections to take place but meanwhile as money on and today sort of going to tell you theres a real power vacuum in that country in a lot of chaos yeah and john the Mexican Government there has certainly stood behind able more or less since fair to say he has a divided opinion across the region. It definitely has even within mexico itself but surely the government here is quite leftist on the president and his men to a Lopez Obrador and theyve really received him with open arms the Opposition Party one of them the right one called the power and has said that they reject him coming to mexico and if you go on twitter and social media theres a lot of people that support both sides of the argument going wide theobald in latin america really seems split between countries on the left and they could i worked on his way to cuba support president rileys version that this is a coup that hes the victim of a coup that forced him out the country and theres those on the other side like brazil and colombia that are basically saying hes gone lets get on with the transition and lets get on with fresh elections and of course youve got perhaps the biggest player of the move the United States and the United States seem to celebrate the fact that hes gone now and that there will be this transition if the foreign minister actually of mexico mustnt go abroad was asked about that in a morning briefing with this effect mates coach relationship with the United States the fact that they have taken in president were released which is who has long been a thorn in the side fooled the United States and he said well we have a Good Relationship with the United States and thats built on respect its not built on submission we can have different ideas and we can still get along so lets see how that plays out. Indeed we will john home and life for us there in mexico city way ever more or less has just landed thanks very much john well his supporters back in bolivia have been protesting in. Which is a stronghold for and there today sub 0 joins us live from there so tonight are presumably people there will be encouraged by the words of abel morales as he stepped off the plane there in mexico city saying that he would continue in politics but obviously a lot of anger over how he was forced to leave the country. Well thats correct were here this is a stronghold of abel morales and just until a few minutes ago there were thousands and thousands of people marching from where we are towards the center of the capital past towards plus some of those people that you can see right behind me are in a roadblock all around a lot of the is where the roadblocks with people standing there and saying that theyre going to be on the streets defending a who they say is president what i love theyre convinced that there was a call that they will morales is one thing yes announce that they were regularities he called for elections that he was asked of by the military to resign and that that a large number is called a coup and thats why theyre saying that theyre going to remain on the streets and many of the people we have spoken to here say that theyre afraid about what is coming because in a way they will vote alice gave this people the dignity they saying that they had been discriminated for generation one generation after the other and they say that now they are proud to say that they are members of indigenous communities that it will more or less created what is known here as a pure right National State of 36. 00 indigenous communities and that hes the one that gave them that but improve their lives so theres not some tension a little in this people here theyre saying that theyre going to stay that there were thousands of others that we saw that are heading towards class families or this country is divided and while many in some parts of libya are happy that more or less resigned others here are very very angry theyre saying theyre celebrating that he actually made it to mexico but now they want him back and because of the tension theres also the armed forces on the streets controlling the security situation we just about an hour ago there were 2 fighter jets passing right on top of us this people say that theyre trying to intimidate them but theyre not going to give up theyre going to remain on the streets until able model is back and the other thing that theyve been saying is that theyre expected to be meeting today in congress to try and see. Erin and interim president they saying that theyre not going to support anyone that comes in to replace what alice or i for the moment teresa bow and live for us there in. Thanks very much as she was saying there some of his supporters are on their way to the bolivian capital Mariana Sanchez is live for us from there from. So marianna a real sense of uncertainty in the believing capital now over what comes next who will replace. Morales and the power vacuum there. Exactly has and thats the largest question here who is in charge and that should be resolved here at the National Assembly behind me but it is unclear as to what will happen the idea was to swear in today a new interim president but to look at what is happening behind closed doors if you will a analyst people with contacts within the top members of the mass party are telling us that there is a Division Within the must party the party that is evidence is party between those who are the hardliners who are saying no one should come here the legislators have to resign they should not come here today and not participate in this session and those who are saying we want to come but we dont feel we feel threatened by members of our own party and we feel that we dont have guarantees and we dont know if we will be able to get here most likely they will not idea of the what would is whats expected to happen is that today there would be a quorum here at the National Assembly and to get that poor of they needed 50 legislators plus one to be able to have a quorum and to go on to the 1st part of the agenda which is to formally accept all of what ellis is resignation and then. Move on to. The new interim president its unlikely that will happen. The question is of course if they will come or not apparently they wont at the situation around this. This plaza of the year where we are now is tense there is police theres riot police here and theres some protesters we here close by one of the things that i think its important to mention that the analysts are saying is that ideal way out of this power vacuum to this political crisis is to resolve it here but when i asked him about those jets that is a was talking about those fighters those fighter jets going over those protesters in the area that is the stronghold of evil morales he told me that there is of course a possibility that the military could take over and how possible i asked that he said its very possible because there is such a power vacuum that we dont know who has the reins of the government but he said if they do that that would be only to call immediately for elections because i believe you have in general not opposition and not. Followers of what are what else would tolerate any military in power so were looking at a very volatile situation now. Indeed and marianna if we just take a step back for a moment and look at. His legacy this was a president who came to power 13 years ago he was the 1st indigenous leader of bolivia and regardless of where you stand on all of this politically is it fair to say his his place in bolivian political history will certainly be a prominent one. Well certainly there is a legacy and its a very important legacy and thats why he was able to continue in the in the presidency for such a long time hes given the poor people of the levy of dignity and identity which many didnt feel that they have before and also hes done a lot of social programs hes given the programs for the elderly for the poor for the for the for the for the children and given a voice to the people who never did have a voice so its an important legacy and thats why many people are furious about him leaving so its difficult to say how thats how that legacy will play out to the next few days in the streets of all of specially here in the past the capital yeah a very fluid situation there in the bolivian capital for the moment Mariana Sanchez live for us there in. Our demonstration in support of abel morales is being held in venezuelas capital caracas that countrys president Nicolas Maduro one of my key leftwing south American Allies may do though is saying that the u. S. Has funded what he calls a coup in bolivia. Well to our other top story this tuesday now 5 palestinians including a senior Islamic Jihad commander have been killed by israeli airstrikes on gaza triggering the worst cross border violence in months funerals have been held for a lot there and his wife who died in a targeted strike on their home overnight israeli airstrikes have also hit apartment buildings and a hammer as facility in the territory of fighters in gaza have retaliated firing around 150 rockets towards israel one exploded on a busy highway narrowly missing cars and buses a factory inside there it was also hit setting that on fire israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the overnight strike was approved by his security cabinet 10 days ago more on this now in this report from mohammed vo. In the sky above israeli cities israels Defense System attempted to intercept palestinian rockets. And damage on the ground can be seen there is a state of alert some schools have been closed and Transportation Services disrupted as Islamic Jihad fighters fired rockets in retaliation for the assassination of one of their Senior Leaders in gaza early on monday and israeli fighter jets targeted senior Islamic Jihad leader. At his home he was killed along with his wife some of his children were also injured the part of the building where he was merging has been entirely destroyed extensive damage was also caused in the immediate area hes vowed a quick and unlimited event so that we will make the enemy pay a heavy price and his citizen soldiers will pay a hebrew price for the crime of assessed an outing and destroying the home of elida. And his wife and assess and how do you know our l a jury and his family at the same time after the firing of the 1st rockets from gaza the Israeli Military shot all the border crossings into gaza and siren. As were heard in several towns in Central Israel israel says i well i was the mastermind of recent attacks against its territory. The action to thwart him was recommended by the chief of staff the head of the ship back and Security Officials it was discussed in the cabinet in a row of indepth discussions over the past few months the final decision was unanimously agreed on in the cabinet 10 days ago and the cabinet gave me authority to implemented at a time that would be suggested by the i. D. F. And the should back the i. D. F. In the shabak indeed recognize a time to recognize the window of opportunity to carry out the operation under the best conditions with a maximum chance of success and minimum impact on bystanders. On tuesday to israeli jets or saw launched raids on the syrian capital damascus the target was another Islamic Jihad member identified as a common i duty to survive the raid but his son was killed. Palestinian Islamic Jihad is the 2nd Largest Group in gaza that allegedly has strong ties with iran and a hardline stance against israel. The new escalation threatens to upset a fragile truce between hamas and israel are disease. Is a senior political analyst he joins us live now from london so martin what are we to make i know i know that the. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that this decision was made 10 days ago but what are we to read in the in the timing of this after a period of relative calm there along the border and also in the middle of these ongoing negotiations over who is actually going to lead israels next government its really all in this. Very bizarre way that the Prime Minister expresses himself and he certainly trying to say in so many ways that this is not about me this is about israels security it talks about a window of opportunity that was given to him 10 days ago and what is that wonderful opportunity what does it take to bomb 2 people in one in damascus one in gaza sleeping along with their families their wives and children im not sure exactly what kind of window of opportunity it takes to bomb a house a home where theres a family in addition to some suspect that israel is going after. Clearly hes trying to explain himself justify himself because i think most israelis certainly others around the world understand that the Prime Minister is for the better of his career for his for the rest of his life in the sense that he faces eminent indictment he might probably go to prison for corruption charges hes under able to put together a Coalition Government because one of the rightwing partners refuses to until this possible scenario of escalation against gaza against the palestinians might actually prompt his old partner. Lieberman to the to rejoin him again in a Coalition Government that will probably help him if you will avoid going to prison and become again a Prime Minister visitor so in a way the people in gaza and certainly israels nimitzs or partners if you will among the palestinians are held hostage to bush no political calculus on the part of his or the Prime Minister. And the Israeli Government have tried to make clear that in any strike they have been targeting an Islamic Jihad command and that theyre not going off the hammer but remained a question doesnt it as to how hamas is going to react to this. I think at the end of the day. This stomach jihad has made it clear to the egyptians who would try to mediate it again instead of supporting the palestinians they tend to be mediators now it is between palestinians and israelis be that as it may this time judge made clear to the egyptians that they will not stop their retaliation against the Israeli Escalation until it is employment did in full as the she had spokesman put it and i think in vats sense how mass is supporting a jihad in its response because in previous times when how most leaders were at that time as did more or less the same in fact whod been having a quarter of a century of this kind of really foolish escalation and retaliation starting with israeli assassination a quarter of a century ago has im not sure if you remember. Assassinated you had leader has shikaki that was in 1995 since then israel continued to assassinate him as you had popular front for all sorts of other leaders among the palestinians every time claiming that this is that important at strategic they had to do or theres a window of opportunity that its that its important for his or security but every time for the last 25 years we 1st terrible escalation after that more palestinian suffering and more israelis suffered in the process leading to more leaders stepping up taking up the positions of those who were assassinated in fact for everything for everybody jihad hamas or any other person leader assassinated by if there are 101550 or 100 people are there to step up and take up the mantle of the struggle over existence against these are all equal occupation because for all those who forget not only is gaza under siege but the rest of palestine is occupied terror. Thirties and its been so for the last 50 some years in fact the Palestinian People including those who were assassinated early this morning of refugees are refugees because they were dispossessed some 70 plus years ago by israel and israel until today refuses to grant them the right of return and refused to let them live free in their own independent sovereign state and hence we are once again faced with this dilemma this foolish cycle of violence that will not stop for personal political and strategic studies security reasons because there is no peace in the offing because again is rather refuses to the occupied palestine hijazi a senior political analyst im odd one big shot of there for us in london thanks mom lets get back now to our breaking news story former bolivian president evo morales arriving in mexico just about an hour ago where he was offered asylum but are less was forced to step down after weeks of protests in bolivia well catherine illegible is the director at the Andean Information Network she joins us live now from. In bolivia via skype thanks very much for being with us so what do you make 1st of all then of whats on folded over the last hour and the state of affairs in bolivia right now. Well it was a it was a trip for morality something thats happened in the past where he was denied access to space and it was unclear when he would arrive at the situation here continues to be very uncertain protests have continued theyve been escalated there been. Protests on both sides. Arouse protesters have attacked police stations in protest for the Police Rebellion that let the city see the libyan out Law Enforcement there are clashes there is violence the military went out on to the streets starting last night in as a result we also have well if its not clear the full talent but it may be 12 will it encourages at least 3 and without a clear outcome or a clearer. Person that is constitutionally the state wished as the interim president. The outcome is quite uncertain. How much does all of this depend then on what happens elsewhere in the region. And the support and opposition and where they stand where the other other governments in the region stand on this. Well i think that was crucial in terms of an organization of american states decision that i think that the most dramatic shift or the or the unveiling up on an external influence is donald trump statement the president of the United States last night saying that morality is ouster was a return to democracy i think and well it was going to return to respect from a constant for the constitution this is a stream lee and accurate now morale is poorest ouster was unconstitutional and undemocratic and so we see now with clarity the trump administrations position which had been more nuanced and certainly not surprising but you can expect the incoming government or the opposition now to have a clear and open u. S. Support in the in terms of funding and its core if we take a step back for a moment. As to how this unfolded this this began with an election result but was. Very much disputed by the opposition what grounds were there for legitimately disputing that is is there is a strong evidence to suggest that this was an illegitimate result. Well there has been evidence presented and analyses on both sides i think its important to note that the routes that ministration face the initial results show that he had won by a percentage were an official majority the way in the 1st round and with the denunciations on the part of the opposition rallies call for an organization of american states and something that was backed by the us United Nations European Union yet the opposition fused to engage with this process called for continue protests as collated the violence and with that counter violence and its interesting to note that the findings and it was only the preliminary findings and report what a record is that there were errors in an electoral process and a recommendation that the elections be and all the new elections be how something that morale is immediately and now wants and importance with his. Remit to have the results be binding and this was not sufficient for the opposition or the tax increase and leading to his resignation later that day its a very. Dynamic i think is there there is clarity that the opposition has had its demands met but we dont see a strategy to engage in that. With. Well who are until suddenly the ruling party sector or attempt to present a viable middle of the road strategies thats constitutional to come out of this coming. Out of this conflict and were still all and a very dangerous gray area liam and the conflict increases and the number of people who live is also dramatically. Good to get your a perspective on this catherine lead about thanks for being with us. Lets take a listen now to what model has had to say just after he landed in mexico city this i mean well you know what i see a lot of the brothers and sisters of the press you know very well about the win in the 1st round of the elections on october the 20th this year that is when the coup task started we went through 3 weeks of the final stage and fortunately the National Police joined the political civil coup they ransacked and burned my sisters house the day before yesterday they ransacked my home cochabamba another small house they tried to ransack and burn it but thanks to my neighbors who defended it im very thankful. The u. S. Supreme court is hearing arguments in 2 immigration cases including one that could seal the fate of hundreds of thousands of young People Living in the United States judges appear divided over the legality of the trumpet ministrations cancellation of the dhaka program the obama era law protected the migrants who came to the United States as children with undocumented parents from deportation. Castro was at the Court Hearing and she joins us live now from washington so. Heidi any indication at this point as to where the justices my go on what is a highly contentious issue there. Well thats always the suspense after any oral argument has them in the Supreme Court of course they heard the arguments from both sides this morning but it will be for we have an actual decision and its always difficult as the cipher from the justices questioning exactly where their decision will land we do know that of course this is a conservative Majority Court that in fact 2 members of that conservative majority were appointed by President Trump and found that half of the panel of the questioning really focused more on the legality of the way that the trial the ministration arrived at the decision to try to cancel out which is the program you just mentioned that offers temporary deportation protection to immigrants who are brought to the country without documents as children now on the other hand the liberal minority on this panel they brought up more about the impact on the lives of these 700000 some new visuals who have already applied for that Program Since they had it in 2012 they have been able to work with permits they have had drivers licenses been able to attend college with scholarships or Financial Aid to get more health care so a lot is at stake for them but the question is exactly what will be their future. That is still unknown but perhaps my guest might have some more light to shed on that this is Josh Blackman who actually used sided with the government in filing a brief for this very court i did explain to me 1st what is the reasoning that you support the trouble ministrations position that dhaka is illegal our position with the Cato Institute is that docking is a good policy but congress to not give the president the power to enact this unilaterally and because dr was contrary to law the press was justified winding down dr and we saw that the conservative justices really got to the heart of what you were saying questioning the government attorneys as well as the plane the defenders of the of the dhaka but how do you think that this thing will fall i mean we still we do have a slim majority carried by the conservatives here i think this case will probably d rule for President Trump but im very narrow grounds when the basic questions is this ken doll because rescission and the cancellation of dr even be reviewed in the courts the government argues that this is not subject to judicial review that the branch can create the policy and then suspend it without the courts getting involved i think the likely outcome of this case holds that this entire decision is subject to the political processes not to the courts if that happens present something to spend dhaka and then present Elizabeth Warren commission reinstituted so were in this weird limbo where whoevers in charge you come youre going to be on or off. The Bigger Picture here of course your focus on them the details as an attorney but the Bigger Picture is that we have close to a 1000000 people if not more who are waiting for this decision that will impact whether they can live out the rest of their lives in the u. S. Living free be able to work able to study. These these policy details that you mentioned that would dictate how they live out the rest of their lives should that not be a consideration the court put a lot of attention to is called reliance that its people rely. Dhaka for 7 years or so ever happen in this region its correct its legal ruling it didnt justify cancel this forever and so many people have the relied upon it my sincere hope is that congress does get involved and enact permanent relief not the sort of temporary executive action for 7 years ok thats interesting thank you so much josh i know you told me earlier that you actually thought the policy helping these young immigrants was good policy but its the legality of it that is at issue and of course now its in the hands of these 9 justices has im all right heidi castro live for us there in washington thanks heidi now Spains Socialist Party has made a significant move towards ending the nations political deadlock by reaching a deal with the other main Left Wing Party with this and the rest of the news from europe lets cross to bob or sara in our london news center. Has im think you yes the socialists have made an agreement with the far left us for their most the 1st step towards a potential grand Coalition Just 2 days after the election delivered a highly Fragmented Parliament the acting Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez assigned that preliminary Coalition Deal with a need for them as leader glaze yes but they still need to seek support from other parties for a government to be confirmed the center right should be done no surprise he said they will not back the move and instead called for a different grand coalition with the socialists and conservative Peoples Party for the bill hamid is more now from where near spains border with france. This is the beginning of the road that could lead to a political breakthrough but several things need to happen before that the 1st one is that the king of spain needs to man they beg resign just to try to form a government vent pedrosa the head of the socialist party with now his counterpart the head of the. Party to put forward their agreement. Parliament and in each you try to get 176. 00 votes that is the out majority at the moment they have to get or secured 158. 00 so they sure now will they get that out right majority most unlikely so then they will have to make a political dealings with other parties maybe the vast parties but then still they would be short of that majority so maybe at that point they will have to reach out to at least one of the poor Independence Party is clearer view camera which is left leaning but that would not happen unless. The catalan 40 gets something in the richardson theres a still a lot of trading that needs to happen a lot of negotiations that need to happen but you do get a sense that really. The socialist and put they most this time are standing together to counter the rise of the far right party vox that fared really well more than doubling its number of seats compared to the elections of half in the earlier this year i mean it was these 2 men federal centers and the air there for them was that were not able to agree to the april elections and that led to these past elections that happened a few days ago this time theyre standing together still they need to convince others to join them. Britains main Opposition Labor Party says it was subject to a cyber attack on its platforms just a month before the general election they were leader Jeremy Corbyn says no data breach took place but the attack has made them nervous about the rest of the campaign and investigation is underway as to who was behind the attack when is our correspondent covering the u. K. Election campaign he joins us now in the studio welcome so how serious is this cyber attack 2 ways of looking at the seriousness 1st of all the labor party said it was a significant attack it transpired that it was a de dos attack which is not an attempt to infiltrate the labor partys system but simply an attempt to make it slow down and potentially even free what the actors would do is bombard the labor systems with web traffic to slow it down to slow those systems down not necessarily to get in and extract any information so its a deed also attack that said so in a way its less serious than an infiltration attack that said the timing of it is significant and were in the approach to a general election and any attack on a main Opposition Party at this point in the Election Campaign must be regarded as a potential disruption of the democratic process so from that point of view its extremely serious and thats certainly the tack that the labor leader Jeremy Corbyn took when he spoke a little earlier today in blackpool. We have a system in place in our office to protect us against these Cyber Attacks but it was a very serious attack against us so far as were aware none of our information was downloaded and the attack was actually repulse because we have an effective in house developed system by people within our party but if this is a sign of things to come in this election i feel very nervous about it because a cyber attack against a Political Party in an election is suspicious and something one is very worried about and if i can just add to what Jeremy Corbin said theres been reports from the labor party this afternoon deceiving that there has been a 2nd de dos attack on their systems but they say its been dealt with quickly and efficiently ok well speaking of potential disruptions to the democratic process Hillary Clinton is in the u. K. And shes been speaking about the alleged meddling in the 2016 Referendum Campaign or did she say yes Hillary Clinton obviously has a personal experience of allegations of russian interference in the democratic process itself over the president ial campaign shes on a book tour at the moment promoting a book and what she was asked was about the decision by downing street by Boris Johnsons government not to publish a report that was put together looking at potential russian interference in the british democratic system the e. U. Referendum in the 2017 general election the report was prepared and presented to downing street on october the 17th plenty of time you would have thought for it to be published before parliament rose for the general election it wasnt published the government says no thats perfectly normal we needed more time to vet it this is despite the Security Services already having cleared the contents of that report for publication and labor is saying that the reason why downing street has withheld it is for purely political motivated reasons when for the moment thank you. Moldovas Coalition Government has collapsed after losing a confidence vote the Prime Minister pro European Party has formed a Fragile Alliance with the countrys russian backed socialist party however the 5 month old government lost the vote with 63 of the 101 m. P. s voting for the motion which was initiated by the Socialists Coalition relations weekend when sun do tried to take control of nominating the nations prosecutor general. German Police Arrested 3 people on suspicion of planning a lysol attack with the stated aim of killing as many they called infidels as possible the suspects were detained in the western city of often but prosecutors say the main suspect the 24 year old german of ressa doing in origin wanted to manufacture explosives and try to buy a weapon online the 2 others are turkish nationals israel has condemned the ruling from europes top court saying Food Products made in illegal israeli settlements have to be specially labeled their decision by the European Court of justice relates to products from the occupied west Bank East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights it says labels must identify the goods were produced in occupied territory not israel secretary general of the Palestine Liberation Organization has welcomed the decision and called on all the countries that implement what he called a legal and political obligation. That said from london for the moment of a back a little later now lets go to has a. Thanks robert now on wednesday millions are expected to tune in for the 1st live broadcast of testimony in the impeachment inquiry against us President Donald Trump it will be a bit different but a bit different set up but the hearings weve seen in the past lets get more on this now from my guest who joins us live now from washington so mike what can we expect. Well how some will be 2 witnesses called tomorrow george can bill taylor behl senior diplomats involved in the ukraine then of course on friday the former ambassador to ukraine mario van of each will come before the committee now there are a different set of rules in place and were in place for the closed hearings that have happened here to date this is what is going to happen the u. S. House of representatives has approved the rules under which the televised trump impeachment hearings will proceed initially off the Opening Statements only the chairman democratic representative adam schiff and the senior ranking republican different noons will question witnesses each representative will be allowed to quiz witnesses in 45 minute blocks the house will vote on any articles of impeachment drafted by the committees now the reason for this 45 minute blocks rule is that in earlier hearings that were held in private a number of republicans on the Intelligence Committee tempted to block the hearings they occupy their time by interjecting and asking irrelevant questions now the 5 minutes said lawmakers have to question were sometimes taken up by republican objections so what is happening now is that the house has decided that the ranking republican as well as the chairman of the of the Intelligence Committee will have 45 minutes alternating to set up their particular brand of narrative in questioning the witnesses now both of them both republican and democrat may see some of their time to the Committee Lawyers who in closed hearings also asked many questions not all of after all of that is happened then the members of the committee will be able to ask questions reverting to that 5 minute rule democratic followed by republican so its going to be lengthy process but the key issue here is that the chairman and the Ranking Member given rounds of 45 minutes to be able to carry out that questioning without ongoing interruption from the other party. Thanks mike mike hanna in washington for us now the Afghan Government says it is releasing 3 senior taliban leaders in exchange for 2 foreign professes american kevin king an australian timothy weeks were kidnapped outside the American University in kabul 3 years ago the taliban prisoners include. The older brother of the groups deputy leader seized in 2014 that announcement comes almost 2 months after President Trump called off talks with the taliban zani says the decision was made quote in the interests of the Afghan People is a National Security analyst based in afghanistan he says the prisoner swap could lead to significant progress in talks. Well i think this is a perfect. Sign of trying to bernard confidence Building Measures between the taliban the United States of america and also the Afghan Government we also know that the President Trumps 2 tweets basically destructed the whole Peace Process that had gained momentum. With the exchange of these prisoners that includes professors from the American University of understand and the taliban prisoners that includes anasta conny the brother of the taliban d. P. T. Icon the son said argentine hug on his brother is a good confidence but it didnt measure up to what we really hold for is that this would it be weve is glad upon for an intra african dialogue where the african government the africans are large and the taliban could sit now i dont dictate but it and sort of talk about if you chair peace with afghanistan there and occasions that we might have these into african dialogue happen in china things are still not very glad but its it was a difficult decision for the Afghan Government because there were a lot of people who would be minding the execution of an us economy but like i always say.
