A massive funeral procession in bolivia where violence over the political transition has turned deadly and taking aim at the government thousands of indias of forest dwellers protests outside parliament against plans to fix them. Or get to the impeachment inquiry shortly but 1st israels attorney general has charged Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu with corruption but the new hes facing charges of bribery fraud and breach of trust in connection with 3 separate cases israels longest serving leader could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted of bribery alone the attorney generals decision comes as israel faces a political standoff following 2 inconclusive general elections this year you know mrs bush if not today i informed the representative of the Prime Minister mr Benjamin Netanyahu about my decision to try him under an illegal clues 3 charges a day in which the attorney general decided to serve an indictment against a c. To try and minister the serious crimes of corrupt governance is a heavy and sad day for the israeli public and for me personally. So netanyahu becomes the 1st israeli Prime Minister to be charged while still. In office the 1st case it concerns allegations he and his wife received gifts more worth more than 250000 dollars the 2nd case accuses netanyahu of doing a deal with israels best selling daily newspaper for better Media Coverage in return he was apparently promising to slow the growth of a rival paper and the final case concerns unfair favors to a leading Telecommunications Company that i know has been charged with bribery as well as fraud and breach of trust in this case he denies any wrongdoing and describes the year the charges as an attempted coup hes also insisted he will not resign and is not legally obliged to do so. Then you flew on tonight we are witnessing an attempted coup against the Prime Minister using false accusation and a systematically tainted and biased investigation for sure you noticed that the decision of the attorney general is published today with unprecedented speed at the most politically sensitive time since the establishment of the state. But with harry force that now and were still loose drusilla harry a Prime Minister netanyahu says hes not legally obliged to resign and hes not going to is that actually the case. Well its certainly a matter of some legal debate the Supreme Court may well have to decide on that because there is a law in place that mandates every government minister to step down if indicted the open question is whether that also includes the Prime Minister and obviously netanyahu is coming out after this indictment and saying no that hes under no legal obligation to to resign there is also another question thats open legally as well which is a member of the Israeli Parliament the knesset should have the right to appeal to the knesset for immunity if indicted within 30 days but because of israels grinding political crisis there still isnt the committee in place that would hear such an appeal so theres a question of do we have to delay everything until we have a functioning government and that committee is in place and then we start examining netanyahu case more properly or could there be a committee put in place especially to hear this issue right now so there are a number of legal issues that are still to be determined to put it mildly but the interesting thing really is that weve been expecting this everyone has been expecting this knowing its coming almost for months if not years and yet the psychological impact of hearing the attorney general say those words that hes indicting netanyahu on such an important charge as bribery has really shaken things up and the question is now is will he still find the support with his own party politically to stay in office kind of hard to ignore isnt it ok harry forcing a westerner islam thank you little bit more from Prime Minister netanyahu now who went on to say that the authorities werent after the truth they were just after him go look at arms remember the polluted investigation against me erode the public faith in the system they should worry every citizen we have to put an end to this the public has the right to a clean investigation that seeks the truth and only the truth the only way to restore the publics faith in the system is to step. Wish an outside independent committee that investigates the method puts an end to this it is about time to investigate the investigators. Know with aljazeera senior political analyst mo and bashara now in london so its time to investigate investigate his and its all a witch hunt apparently which country are we actually talking about here. If i did call if its israel but it doesnt sound familiar listening to all the. Long. Impeachment hearings in the United States clearly the similarities between whats going on in washington and jerusalem are are quite quite paradoxical i would say not just impressive. Look what we have here is a Prime Minister who served longer than any other israeli Prime Minister and he still complaining that israel is unfair to him which is really amazing considering that he did every took in the book he lied he incited and he won the most you know uncultured like coalitions if you will within the country he bombarded gaza he solicited the help of donald trump and so on and so forth and he still couldnt muster it israelis or the at least the judiciary system still could invite him on fraud and breach of trust and most importantly a bribery he according to the prosecutor general basically used his office for for his own personal benefit that does sound like what apparently or allegedly happened in the United States however unlike in the United States where the president ial system is quite. Protective of a very strong presidency in a parliamentary system like can is or the Prime Minister doesnt have as much protection as an american president and thats why i think Prime Minister netanyahu will probably find it more difficult to resist the political pressure coming forward and the political pressure is forthcoming and i think that the neo will not be able to stand or the pressure of the question is come out is when he or wont he make a deal where he is pardoned by the president and he just steps aside and doesnt go to jail or he insists on pursuing his political career and end up losing and in jail and the thing i wonder mowen is if israel will ever actually have a functioning government anytime soon because Prime Minister netanyahu couldnt form a government neither could benny gantz now this comes corruption charges i mean what chance of israel actually getting as i say a functioning government i think as we spoke earlier ive seen that happen during the decade of the ninetys when israel changed some 6 governments from shamir to to robin to paris tonight and now to by rock and on to show me and i think at this point in time after 10 years of not then you know there is a bit of a perilous in the system and is are find it difficult to create a kind of an alternative than any you know however having said that i think. More and more people are more parliament is in is there a meet in the center of the center right and the radical right than than one can imagine looking from the outside as soon as nothing your house steps aside which he will probably be as i said forced to youre going to sign that youre going to youre going to see that nationally the government would you would look good and blue and white party is possible and they have a lot to agree on about their red lines when it comes to the palestinians are the same their approach to all the important questions of the settlements and so on so forth are the same question their approach to gaza and the siege of gaza is the same so i think whether it is before a 3rd elections or after the 3rd election were going to see that the center ite it is or will come together in the form of government or so as nothing you know steps aside thank you bashara in london. 2 key witnesses in the dont trump impeachment inquiry of delivered more dramatic testimony on capitol hill the u. S. Embassy official in ukraine gave details of a call he overheard between President Trump and the u. S. Ambassador where they discussed a deal for an investigation by ukraine that was david holmes or heard that on the right on the left the former white house russia expert dr fiona hill both of them testifying on day 5 of this public hearing examining whether donald trump withheld military aid to ukraine he allegedly wanted an investigation into the democratic president ial hopeful joe biden in return holmes says he was at lunch with the u. S. Ambassador to the e. U. Goldman sunland as he spoke to the president s arms they gave his recollection of what hed heard on that phone call. Well ambassador silence phone was not on speakerphone i could hear the president s voice through the earpiece of the phone the president s voice was loud and recognizable and a baster song and held the phone away from his ear for a period of time presumably because of the loud volume i heard a bass or stalin greet the president and explain he was calling from kieve i heard President Trump and clarify that ambassador song was in ukraine vasser song replied yes he was in ukraine and went on to state that president selenski quote loves your ass i then heard president from ask so hes going to do the investigation master song replied that hes going to do it adding that president selenski will do anything you ask him to do reporting from capitol hill and castro she has more now on why holmess recollection of that phone call is just so important. He says thats 1st hand because he here heard it with his own ears they were words that came out of the president s mouth of mouth that he that that he overheard on this very loud apparently phone call that the present the the ambassador to the e. U. Gordon sol and had made it to trump they were actually sitting on restaurant patio as holmes tells it and then after someone hung up with the president holmes whos a who was quite intrigued he said frankly never seen anyone just call the president of the United States while having lunch before he asked him what else was discussed and he heard from the ambassador that trump didnt give an expletive about ukraine that he only cared about the big stuff and then when holmes asked what was this big stuff there were there was big stuff he said like the war that ukraine was fighting against russia and so on said no its not that the big stuff is the investigations into the bidens which would help trump politically and the reason that this overheard conversation is so damaging to the president is that it is some of the very rare 1st hand information that we have about that sheds some light at least about what the president s mind was what was his motive when he was withholding the security aid to ukraine at the very heart of the accusations against the president that may lead to his impeachment an effort by the democrats to remove him from office is this question of whether or not trump had corrupt intent. Jeffrey counterservice with us now director of Political Studies at they miss common sense which is a center right thing tank i think weve covered off david hines pretty well there lets talk about books if you know who i think you said you actually know who or ive dealt with her in the past i was fascinated by how strong her testimony was and the way she just she almost challenged the committee directly and said i would ask you not to promote politically driven false hoods about ukraine. She says strong as titanium is fiona hill shes an amazing person and she knows whats at stake whats at stake here is in part a process of almost 30 years of United States trying to build up the Judicial Integrity of ukraine so that may function as a democratic counter to the illiberal nation of russia and she also knows that whats at stake is ultimately our unity as a people russia has very consciously and with Great Success attempted to mount a Propaganda Campaign against us a campaign of disinformation in the 2016 elections and for sure in the 2020 elections and ultimately they want to get us to lose faith in ourselves in our National Unity in the validity of fact an objective truth and so far based on these impeachment hearings theyre having a great deal of success. What do you think the republicans republicans got out of today you said youre a republican yourself from a center right think tank what do you make of their strategy which appears to be scatter gun chemical that. Well it seems scatter gun but i think it does add up to a stronger narrative than it might appear because theyre essentially saying over and over again that its all just hearsay that no one can prove anything and therefore it is further evidence of a democratic who now i dont think this is going to convince many people outside of the hardcore republican bubble i dont think its going to go too much beyond republican social media and sham campaigns channel like fox news but i do think that this is going to help strengthen republicans in their resolve to continue to paint this as a completely partisan process if not a single republican stepped out of line on the Impeachment Vote they would have achieved their goal but the impeachment would still likely go ahead wouldnt it. The impeachment would go ahead but i think they feel it would have much Less National resonance if it were to be seen as strictly a partisan proceeding ok jeffrey thank you so much for your time we do appreciate it still ahead for you on aljazeera were looking at why they were looking at the british oppositions big plans for the next election including another upset brags that and how the war in yemen is making life more dangerous for thousands of children.

Got to think about the ongoing political process as it is is only fueling the interest on the streets. Thats right and thats why people are very angry at what is happening there is a there is. Uncertainty as to what will happen here although the mass Party Members have agreed already that this is a majority in congress have agreed already to to hold elections.

And thousands of protesters in colombia have marched against government plans to introduce pension and tax reforms workers unions and students gathered in the capital bogota in what has been described as the biggest demonstrations in recent years protesters also blame president even duke his government for failing to prevent the killings of human rights activists and widespread corruption u. K. Has denied those allegations. Exactly 3 weeks before britain votes for a new parliament and the Opposition Labor Party has published its election manifesto pledging a radical program to transform the u. K. Among the policies promised by party leader Jeremy Corben plans to renegotiate brigs that within 3 months or so to create a 1000000 new green jobs as well as a one off windfall tax on Oil Companies document was launched in birmingham from where paul brennan reports. A radical manifesto because the u. K. s Problems Need Radical Solutions that was the message from Jeremy Corbett flanked by his senior m. P. s and in front of a largely supportive audience of Party Faithful in its 105 pages the labor election manifesto promises include a plan to introduce a minimum living wage reform the state benefits system extend maternity pay and social care for the elderly and bring the water and Energy Companies back into Public Ownership when labor wins. The nurse wins the student wins the pensioner wins the tenant wins the young couple wins we all win he set himself squarely against what he described as the rich and powerful vested interests quoting franklin d. Roosevelt corbin said i welcome their hatred i accept that the opposition and hostility of the rich and powerful is inevitable i accept the opposition of the billionaires because we will make those of the top their fair share of tax to help fund the world Class Public Services for you thats real trying. Labor says it would really go see 8 bricks it within 3 months but the new deal to a 2nd referendum but out campaigning in bedford Prime MinisterBoris Johnson again attacked corbins reluctance to say which way he would actually vote in that new referendum corbin comes center stage drum roll and he completely misses his cue because what we want to know is what he sees plan to deliver breaks it and whats the deal he wants to do and which side would he vote on that deal students will be a key demographic in decembers poll many were too young to vote in the 2016 e. U. Referendum but a straw poll of students here in birmingham found them unimpressed so far for now im not like conservative labor i think both of them at the moment i just dont like the leaders so i think the best thing for me to do is just look at the m. P. s in my local town im going to vote and all im going to vote for most not something on the interested in him at a time has gotten a lot lower we see politicians falling around playground insults when there is 21st years ago that would be entirely on heard of and they would have been laughed out of the building and back down whitehall. With 3 weeks to go until polling day labor is still lagging behind in the opinion polls the latest aggregate suggest the conservatives have 42 percent support labor 29 percent corbett has a mountain to climb. This is a rather cold manifesto with a radical strategy to sell it jeremy call been urging the public to judge how good this manifesto is white house strongly its opponents attack it essentially reflecting the criticism back at the critics will the public by its youll find out in 3 weeks time or brennan ill just hear a family guy.
