Tear gas on protesters marching against pension and tax reforms and well tell you the british oppositions big plans for the next election and they all about brings it. All right were starting in israel where the attorney general has charged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with corruption and it stems from 3 separate cases in which nathaniel who is accused of bribery fraud and breach of trust harry force that begins our coverage from western. Theres never been anything like it in israeli politics on the day the grinding stalemate over forming a new government and to the new unprecedented phase the attorney general was ready with his own historical 1st. Today i informed the representative of the Prime Minister mr Benjamin Netanyahu about my decision to try him under an inch document little clues 3 charges a day in which the attorney general decided to serve an indictment against a seated Prime Minister the serious crimes of corrupt governance is a heavy and sad day for the israeli public and for me personally. An hour later a shocked looking Benjamin Netanyahu began his battle to stay in office while indicted. Tonight we are witnessing an attempted coup against the Prime Minister using false accusation and a systematically tainted and vice investigation. Investigations began in december 26th seen into 3 separate cases case 1000. 00 involves gifts including cigars and champagne worth more than 200000. 00 received and often demanded by netanyahu and his wife sarah from billionaires. And james packer the charge and breach of trust the same charges apply in case 2000 in which newspaper magnate on mosers is alleged to have offered no favorable coverage in return for his hampering the activities of a rival but it was case 4000 involving show the main stakeholder in the countrys Biggest Telecom company that attracted the most serious charge bribery netanyahu and his wife accused of dictating precise elements of coverage on elevates his news site while or in return for regulator benefits worth 500000000. 00 a recurring theme runs through these indictments netanyahu is obsession with his Media Coverage and the alleged lengths to which he was prepared to go to try to control it that these charges were expected hasnt lessened their impact this is an explosive moment in israels political and legal history now the focus intensifies on netanyahu future. Was ahead of him a twin battle to head off any contest for the Party Leadership in the run up to a likely 3rd election next march and a potential Supreme Court case challenging his legal right to stay in office if he was a minister he would have to resign or be fired because hes the Prime Minister its unclear what is clear is that theres a moral problem right now because its not just that the attorney general recommended indicting him including for bribery these are things that happened while he was Prime Minister earlier israels president officially gave the parliament the job of finding a member with enough support to form a government and prevent another election unprecedented and in the view of most unlikely to succeed. So you should these are harsh dark days in the annals of the state of israel he said that maybe harsher and darker days to come for its longest serving Prime Minister for our equal sit out 0 west Jerusalem Post thoughts now from mount bashar our senior political analyst he says the indictment brings an end to netanyahu as political future if i recall if its israel but it does sound familiar and listening to all of the. Long. Impeachment hearings in the United States clearly the similarities between whats going on in washington and jerusalem 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 is very Prime Minister and is 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 ran 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 these raids or at least the judiciary system still could indict him on fraud didnt and breach of trust and most importantly of 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 in is that 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 final day of scheduled public hearings in the impeachment inquiry into donald trump has wrapped up with more dramatic testimony to Foreign Policy experts on ukraine spoke of their concerns about an irregular channel being run by trumps personal lawyer on his accounts are reports from washington. Raise your right hand i will begin by swearing you in the days testimony began with a warning from the former white house policy expert on russia and ukraine some of you on this committee appear to believe that russia and its Security Services did not conduct a company against a country and that perhaps somehow for some reason ukraine has this is a fictional navas of that has been perpetrated in propagated by the russian Security Services themselves the on a hill testified russia was watching the impeachment hearings and ultimately would benefit from republicans repeating the quote fictions that ukraine meddled in the 2016 elections with the help of democrats she said she had warned gordon sagal and the e. U. Ambassador the same when she realized he was carrying out the president s personal political agenda by requesting ukraine open investigations into trumps political rivals and i did said to him and gordon i think this is all going to blow up and here we are david homes of Foreign Service officer in the kiev embassy testified ukraine has been cleaning up corruption under its new president billowed amirs alinsky homesteads alinsky wanted an Oval Office Meeting with trump but it was made clear that the linsky wouldnt get the meeting unless he announced on c. N. N. That ukraine was investigating joe biden this was a demand that president selenski personally commit on a cable news channel to a specific investigation of President Trumps political rival holmes testified he also had a clear impression that a hold on u. S. Military aid was likely intended by trump to pressure ukraine for the investigation home said he overheard a phone call between trump and ambassador song land discussing whether his alinsky would cooperate so you heard President Trump ask ambassador son when is he going to do the investigation yes or. What was ambassador sunless response he said oh yeah hes going to do it hell do anything you ask that urn homes of this rebuke from republican congressman mike turner your statements that your interest or protecting ukraine are very dubious when you embarrass president zelinsky by making those statements even have to make who cares that investor someone said who cares that question sums up a republican Defense Strategy to counter these 5 days of public testimony that democrats say show trump at best misused his office and at worst committed bribery but is not enough to move the American Public the latest polls show that americans remain evenly divided on whether to impeach trump and remove him from office and the vast majority say that these hearings will not change their minds hi peter castro aljazeera washington. And with us now from washington bret brew and he served as a director of Global Engagement at the white house to president obama bret thanks for your time today so what do you make of the testimony we heard today particularly from dr hill who was. A formidable i think in her approach formidable is a good description someone who i think began the day with what was a pretty sharp rebuke of the republican attacks on this inquiry talking about how they were taking pages directly out of russias playbook and using them here in the United States to try to gain political points but then she proceeded to push back and at some point you saw actually republicans just stop asking her questions because clearly it was counterproductive to their agenda. And what about. Mr holmes as well the phone call its been crucial this you know loud restaurant and apparently could hear the phone call with. Ambassador i mean in the way it all plays out its quite fascinating to listen to strong testimony it was because what was missing throughout the prior 4 days of testimony was someone who was in the room was within earshot of what the president was actually saying on these issues and bassett or son london has presented now 3 versions of what President Trump said but david holmes a career diplomat was in that restaurant was next to sunderland and what he described and in some dramatic fashion i think is pretty damning for the white house at this stage its hard to refute. So what do you make of the way the republicans are playing this at the moment because and i spoke to earlier guests about this but id like your view as well their approach seems to be this is all just an attack on President Trump and theyve been attacks against President Trump since he was candidate trump whereas the democrats seem to go a little bit more specific i guess to what has actually been said today can that republican strategy work because i mean its what donald trump doesnt he just says everythings against him. Well and what theyve been trying is just to throw everything up against a wall and see what sticks the problem is theyre losing ground they are this defensive position has significantly retreated sense last week when these hearings began it 1st it was well they didnt hear directly from the president then it was well yes and better suddenly saying it was a quid pro quo but did the president actually ever use that term and when you are moving your defensive position you are certainly in a weak position i think that the real question now is whether or not we will see some of these fox news observers from the conservative channel here in the u. S. Start to entertain the idea that maybe the president did something wrong which will give political cover to those republican senators who will ultimately have to vote to remove the president hasnt that actually already started in some way i mean i think occur if im wrong that yesterday folks news commentator actually was ken starr former special prosecutor when. President clinton was impeached he even he was saying its time for republican senators to go to the white house and tell the president its over. And that was quite an important moment i think we need to see more of that we will need to see some of the commentators who are not just from the old Republican Guard but some of these new more more closely aligned with President Trump and his wing of the party and i think what we will also see is its going to take some time for the effects of this testimony to show up in polls and if next week we see Significant Movement on where the American People are on this question it could be a decisive factor in moving some of those republicans who are going to have to face reelection next year on this issue there are a number who are vulnerable Susan Collins in maine and others but im reading a statement here from white house spokesman hogan gidley who says President Trump wants to have a trial in the senate because its clearly the only chamber where he can expect theon sorry not finesse fairness thats my new zealand accent coming to her heels and saying he wants to hear adam schiff and joe biden and all these people actually speak can you explain to us is that how it would actually work if and when this goes to the senate. Yes so what will happen is that if the house of representatives approves pietschmann then it moves over to the senate where there is an actual trial and the chief justice of the Supreme Court here in the United States presides over that trial this is what happened with bill clinton in 1998 he was ultimately acquitted by the senate because they need 67 votes and so in terms of the number of Democratic Senators they are at 49 so they would need a number of republican senators to move to their side of the position however nonetheless just the fact that the house of representatives will have impeach the president that he will go down in history is now the 3rd american prison and having been impeached is in and of itself a significant political tarnish in a year when hes going back to the voters and asking for another 4 years yeah ok really glad we could talk to you about some of this thanks for thanks for your time. Lets have a look at whats coming up for you on this news hour. Police fire tear gas on a massive funeral procession in bolivia where violence over the political transition has turned deadly. Failing to keep the peace why dozens of people have been killed this month in the democratic republic of congo and in sport we will hear from the man himself coach jos a marine you as he holds his 1st News Conference as the new boss of top. To colombia now where police are trying to disperse demonstrators have been marching against government plans to introduce pension and tax reforms workers unions and students gathered in bogota in what has been described as the biggest demonstrations in recent he has protesters also blame president dukas government for the failure to prevent killings of human rights activists and to stop widespread corruption here is more from bogota with. The spike the rain this is been by far the largest and most diverse demonstration that the comment capitano seen in the many years Students Union members that but also people from a different the walk of life taken to the streets to protest the government to. Look at protest the number of measures that this government that could see their reforms to the pension systems education but most of all what people are protesting against is just the direction in general this government and also things that are specific to like the killings of social theres an Indigenous Leaders and the lack of implementation of the peace deal on part of the government that. Is moving this is a very significant for us because we are demonstrating that we are tired that we. Dont want to continue living with the government treating us this way theres a very powerful youth in colombia thats not afraid anymore and older people like me feels it has nothing else to loose but what had been an absolutely peaceful and massive demonstration a turned into violence as some of the protesters confronted the police and antiriot gear here in downtown streets surrounding the Central Plaza i believe are where most of the protesters had gathered we also have reports of. Clashes in other cities where there were demonstrations in particular in the city of cali where the mayor has decided to impose a curfew starting at 7 pm tonight now the question here is if these protests will continue in colombia beyond the today and if this country will join the continuous turmoil that weve seen in their countries across south america. With us now on skype from bogota he is with conflict Analysis Research center jorge nice to see you. The idea of a government attempting pension and tax reforms now in latin america when there is so much on wrist about changes about economic problems it seems like they were always courting the sort of. Indeed not only that announcement of those reforms but. Some of the early and hours minutes of the government in the way that they were going to respond which borders the demonstration massive wrote this they actually had the. Contrary spec for salt eat lead the people to go to this who who make beer there. It isnt actually a measure of. What weve seen in colombia today in that regard you see a discontent econd the government would have an employee minis pricing by employing in this production and one has to say that luckily we are seeing the largest demonstration in the east or in colombia. Be staying off their brief years of tightening the basic agreement and its kind of contradictory. Do you think these protests have the potential to become similar to the ones weve seen elsewhere in south america or at the moment with that level of intensity. I would say that there is a very low profile case will continue. In the coming days if it continues it will be in a couple of cities and luckily again these had not been so violent as you know there are countries like nick while the law or in haiti. No i do not believe that we are going to see politically is that lead to your economic instability or even a continuation of probus for several days as we have seen in chile. What sort of press what sort of position i should say is president even decay in the protestors are also blaming him for human rights activists being killed and for for corruption issues what sort of position is he in now. Well i will say that that is some minority government a government that do not a very easy congress not a workable capacity by sitting in these reforms in congress. And its also a government that has lost d. The most Civil Society organisations unions the church. And a large majority of put on me aside and say are against Big Government then it is not a corner government but its rather weak. It has they were beneath the only been 18 months of it by date and i reckon the president took his government has the board you need to. Bring to create a National Unity government but sadly seems party quite radical the right. It will be very difficult for his party combining him in a position of trying to gather National Unity. More inclusive reforms or at least to delay them. A pleasure talking to you thank you for your time today thank you. They will believe in riot police have fired tear gas to break up a funeral procession in the capital of pardes thousands of people are demanding the interim president s resignation theyre blaming her for the latest deaths of protesters in clashes with police and the military but on a sunday as with this report from the palace was a peaceful march of thousands of believe ians mourners escorting the coffins of 8 victims of clashes with the military and police on tuesday. They were about to hold a vigil near the president ial palace and then the unthinkable. The police opened fire with tear gas as police dispersed the funeral procession one van with the coffins tried to make its way out another one pushed by the police were stuck on the road other mourners had to leave other coffins on the ground and flee the gas was the weve come here empty handed i want to die kill me im ready the protesters didnt clash with police no rocks were thrown they just fled the gases in the town was actually covering that weve come here with our dead how is it possible that they fired tear gas at us we even came with our children was they have been marching for nearly 4 hours from demanding the interim precedence for signees sion 29 years past the supreme decree that clears the military and police from any responsibility in securing peace in the country was these believe ians blame the police for the deaths. Was an autopsy preliminary report says the 8 victims died after projectiles were fired at them but an investigation is pending. Was that theyre killing our people theres no justice for our humble people. The government says Security Forces must bring peace to believe. 15 believe the end. Have died in clashes with police since president ever motherless resigned and took exile in mexico leaving the country in turmoil i dont know. The way these bully girls will stop protesting it will give them the assurance that their voices will be heard in any vote in a late night session on wednesday members of a woman ellis mass party agreed to recognise janine i knew as the interim president they said they will participate in the next elections without it will more or less. And many believe the ends here the days of it will seem to be over the r and demanding his return anymore but they say they will continue to fight for their right to justice over the deaths of 8 men who still cannot be laid to rest in peace but the in a sense is i just believe.
