Somewhere good news out of yemen the United Nations envoy for yemen has told the u. N. Security council that the number of air strikes by the Saudi Led Coalition has dropped dramatically in the past 2 weeks but in griffith says the reduction in violence could possibly pave the way for an end to the conflict or diplomatic editor james bays reports from u. N. Headquarters in new york the u. N. Has long described yemen as the country with the worst humanitarian situation all earth but the regular Security Council meeting the 1st positive news for months. In the last 2 weeks the range of that war has dramatically reduced. They were reportedly almost 80 percent fewer strikes nationwide than in the 2 weeks prior and i realize these are short periods but nonetheless it is striking and in recent weeks there have been entire 48 hour periods without air strikes at all the 1st time since the conflict began we call this the escalation a reduction in the tempo of the wall and perhaps we hope a move towards an overall cease fire in yemen. The current president of the u. N. Security council had this reaction there was lots of interest in deescalation in yemen and then the council once again me offend its very strong support for marching if he says efforts to pave the way for the yemeni parties as i said to come together in this inclusive process its believed the developments follow back channel talks involving the u.

U. S. President donald trump says he wants a trial in the Republican Controlled Senate if he is impeached by the house in an interview with fox news after days of public impeachment hearings he insists that hes done nothing wrong and he defended using his private lawyer Vody Giuliani to work on ukraine policy because of his reputation as quote a great crime fighter the House Intelligence Committee has been Holding Hearings looking into accusations that trump pressured ukraine to investigate his political rivals there was no due process you can have lawyers we can have any witnesses we want to call the whistleblower but you know i want as the 1st witness because frankly i want to trial you know i could take i could have it you want to try whatever you want oh i would look number one they should never ever impeach just is not in the i watch i watch 5 people on your network yesterday say theres nothing new here a White House CorrespondentKimberly Halkett has more. All explain 1st of all why he was at trial is because its controlled in the senate by republicans members of his own party but the other reason all this you heard the president say off the top there no due process he feels that this has been a politically partisan process up to this point controlled by the democrats the opposition and as a result he feels that he would get a fair shake if this were to go to the senate essentially heard his own words there that he believes in a century that he wouldnt be impeached so thats the goal here the president is trying in already campaigning for reelection but it is going to be a challenge because we have heard very clear cut arguments that the president abused allegedly his political powers in order to seek an investigation on a political rival but what didnt seem to happen is minds being changed so well the republicans dont have the votes in the house of representatives to avoid that Impeachment Vote what they do have are the numbers in the senate to see that the president is not removed from office thats what donald trump is counting on well it was a wide ranging interview with fox news of the president went on to say that hong kong would be destroyed if it wasnt for him if it werent for me im coming with a bit over literate in 14 minutes you get a 1000000 soldiers standing outside of their own going you know only because i ask him please dont do that youll be making a big mistake its going to have a tremendous negative impact on the trade deal.

It was another day of popup protests in tbilisi this one outside the interior ministry to force your thirtys into confrontation with the opposition. This week activists who blockaded Parliament Failing to reform the electoral system was sentenced that Tbilisi City Court to short prison terms it actually spoke to us before being jailed for 13 days. Oh i havent any evidence and i can threaten us with violence well continue to protest from prison or on the streets until we kick this pro russian regime out of the country. But not everyone sympathizes the possible heckles directly his Opposition Party was once in power it still has enemies. Polls suggest georgians have lost faith in politicians from across the spectrum but the public does approve of democratic reforms a recent National DemocraticInstitute Poll found that most georgians support the plan to introduce police proportional representation in elections thats why opposition parties united after the government renee gets on its promise to change the electoral code. The governing party is unapologetic the final say for the constitutional amendments and legislative amendments is up to the parliament of georgia and citizens disliked this decision of the parliament i am sure they will they will put their positions next elections in 2020. 2 which is opposition wants to say now. This is a new tactic by opposition activists making lots of noise creating excitement raising attention popping up in different places around the city to show the government that theyre not going to go anywhere they get it continue to put pressure on the. Decision not to allow Electoral Reform to go ahead. I think the government insists nothing will change and that the opposition groups have to take care to avoid breaking the criminal code pointing themselves behind bars. Aljazeera to be. Bolivias interim government has filed the criminal complaint against the expresident ever morale is accusing him of sedition and terrorism but alice has been calling on his supporters to maintain a blockade which is cause food and fuel shortages in the city of la paz but alice resigned and fled to mexico november 10th following protests over last months disputed president ial election at least 32 people have been killed in the ensuing violence on monday at a sanchez joins us live now from atlanta good to see you or can you tell us about this criminal complaint against civil moralities. Well barbara it does seem like former president it will more or less on that phone call that was released by. The tiller minister are a couple of days ago he showed this video and this to the press where we could see and hear a man on the phone we could basically see the side of his face and him talking with who apparently was the former president there when what al is saying that. Ordering him thats of the roads should continue to be blocks around the country and that they should keep on preventing food from coming in. So. I asked the prosecutor to launch this investigation not only against the former president there were more rallies but also against the. Presidency minister former president s the minister. Who talked to the press and said that i was turning into. A modern vietnam thats what he said so told the prosecutors that they should also launch an investigation against the same that minister with the same charges of sedition and terrorism now bread from the president will what alice has said has replied to these say that this is a set up and that the prosecutors should instead be worrying about investigating the deaths of the 34 people that have been killed since this crisis began and of course this crisis began over protests over a disputed president ial election now theres an interim government do we know when the new elections will be called we think that will be a new chapter for bolivia. Well barbara thats a big question about that could be answered perhaps today perhaps in the next few hours or the next few days as right now congressmen are discussing this bill that was sent by the executive to call elections however theres been a lot of fighting shouting at each other today in congress were people who support the bill. Are accusing a few members of the mass party thats what our listeners party of not of delaying this bill that is very important. That if they come to a consensus which it could be because one deputy the Vice President of deputies who we spoke to this morning told us that the majority of the must part party will go with a bill that they will go to they will go to the elections without there will morale is that theyre looking into a younger and Younger Generation of the mass party and that he was sure that this bill will be passed we dont know exactly when but interim president and his hopes that they will do that today or in the next few hours because not only her but people from both sides are saying that the most important thing right now to pacify the country is to hold elections. Is with the latest from bolivia marianas thank you. And chill as the fence minister is disputing a report saying Excessive Force has been used against antigovernment protesters Rights Group Amnesty International says liesl weapons have been used indiscriminately on at least 4 occasions but a better spin as a soldier is called on to the streets for 9 days during a state of emergency or professional and disciplined all of latin america it is reducing in human joins us live now from santiago to see a thursday it was a very violent day there despite the government announcing new reforms so why isnt that why hasnt that had more of an impact he said. Yes or no barbara were here back again on probably then shall i made avenue the largest one of santiago and as you can see there are a huge amount of people pouring in here walking the streets have been blocked theyre going to yet another march weve now entered week 5 of these demonstrations and they are not as you well say satisfied theyre not satisfied with the proposals from the government theyre not satisfied by the agreement should have been reached even with the opposition deputies and one of the reasons is that they feel that its too little too late and that theres just not addressing the main demands of people for example for a decent minimum wage or a decent pension the government has promised to. Raise the minimum pension by at least 50 percent but even that is well well below a minimum wage and the minimum wage as most people in chile will tell you isnt enough to live on the same with the health care theyre going to reduce the price of medicine which we all ive been demanding all these things you would think would make people happy but the climate the Political Climate and the demands now from the people who are out on the streets marching every day our show hide it its very very difficult to satisfy them barbara is in human nature with the latest for peaceful protest in santiago sniffing. Its going to colombia now labor unions and student leaders have called people back out into the streets to protest this after at least 3 people were killed in stars days protests more than 250000. 00 people marched in the capital but without end of the cities to show growing discontent with president even his government the defense minister says the circumstances surrounding the deaths all rounder investigation while the conduct of the Security Forces is also being examined while we can go live now to the santorum ph d. Who joins us from a bogo so obviously there was violence yesterday on thursday how many people are heeding the call to protest again as. I was told by right this is the situation as you can see behind me in central. Believe our styles and people are gathering again to proctors the government and the president. There calling for his resignation is also tackling the police after the violence that happened on thursday the people here say that this is an awakening for colombia a way to ride the wave of discontent what theyve seen happening in a number of countries across the region and there have been a number of fun time news demonstrations throughout the day since the Early Morning hours especially in the most important bus stations at the entrance of town and there has been unfortunately more clashes with the police the Police Used Tear Gas you know at least 2 locations earlier on friday to move away protesters from the bus station we are seeing a lot of people also on the streets that were unable to go back home and people are just saying that everybody should just start facing trade these protests this is. Something very new for colombia and also what were seeing that is happening now is that these are mostly spontaneous happening through social media. Like the National Strike that happened on thursday that was organized by the unions the unions itself said that they were hoping to speak to the president 1st before organizing their demonstrations listen to see organized demonstrations spontaneous ones like you are right now but do you think that this is likely to turn into a long running protests like the ones that weve seen for example in chile. Thats a big question here this is already the 1st time in recent memory that demonstration organized by. Union gold goes on for more than one day as always telling you earlier colombia is not used to social process protests especially sustained social protests a lot of it had to do with the many decades of civil conflict in the country where social protest demonstrations were usually stigmatized by the government saying that the rebels were behind it thats something that they cant say anymore so people here are saying that what were seeing is an wakening of the social spirit in colombia they say that the long remains one of the most and meet all countries in the world and its about time that People Demand Change from their government and this is why it seems that is happening there is no way to know for how many days they will continue one thing that i can tell you is that nobody here seems to be satisfied with the response the government gave to the National Strike that happened on thursday yet the president. Spoke late thursday any focus mode. On the violence and the vandalism and not on what people are demanding which is social and Economic Reforms think limitation of the peace deal with fire. And to the killing of socially theres a Community Leaders in remote parts of the country where the conflict seems to be coming back and so the people seems to be very energized and i would be surprised if this and that today and things continue in the coming days in the county following it for us for the moment and i salute and canteen live from the task. It watching out for a live from london still ahead military parades turn into protest marches as lebanon likes its 76 Independence Day. And on that list good to be so we watch Law Enforcement agency describe as a force of normal needs in africa i know that this is affecting all the president ial candidates last in sports will tell you how world number one brother was number 2 rory mcilroy went from triumph to disaster at the world torch championships in dubai.

The oppression of an ethnic minority and me and my many dang thing intention was to make sure that rangers were no longer entitled to either basic rights or citizenship brians in a new documentary aljazeera explores the history and motives behind the systematic plasticky soon after him and me and mom. Exile. On aljazeera. As we embrace new technologies rarely do we stop to ask what is the price of this progress what happened was people started getting sick but there was a small group of people that began to think that maybe this was related to the kind of this closure in the job and investigation reveals how even the smallest devices have deadly environmental and health costs we think ok well send our you waste to china but we have to remember that air pollution travels around the globe death by design on aljazeera. Time now for a reminder of the top stories on aljazeera the Iraqi Government does denying reports that at least 4 people were killed when Security Forces opened fire on protesters earlier in fact that demonstrators are angry over a mass unemployment and widespread corruption the u. N. Envoy for yemen says a sharp reduction in violence in the country could signal the possible end of the nearly 4 and a half year war Martin Griffiths told the u. N. Security council that airstrikes by the Saudi Led Coalition have dropped by nearly 80 percent in the past 2 weeks and u. S. President donald trump says he wants a trial in the Republican Controlled Senate if hes impeached by the house he insists hes done nothing wrong. With staying with president meeting executives from the cigarette industry and Public Health advocates at the white house this is he considers a potential federal ban on flavored cigarettes trump announced in september that he wanted to ban every flavor except tobacco causing a drop in sales in the u. S. Vaporing industry but a few days ago he backed away from that proposal amid fears that of a ping ban could cost him voters and during that meeting he raised concerns over unregulated the cigarettes flooding the market if he does go ahead with legislation. If you dont give it to me its going to come here illegally ok let me set of red jewelry. Jewelry Companies GoodCompanies Making something safe theyre going to be selling stuff on the Street Corner that could be horrible thats the one problem i cant. Seem to forget i mean ive. Just got to look at the history of. Having a flavor thats at least safe they can be having a flavor of its thats poison. Well megan is Communications Manager at action on smoking and health she joins us live now from washington madam thank you for joining us here on aljazeera lets start with this meeting of the president having a with both Industry Leaders and Public Health advocates do you expect or hope anything will come out of it were very skeptical anything productive could come of it just because hes invited the Tobacco Industry representatives to attend theyre not legitimate stakeholders in this conversation and theres actually a global treaty that says just that if youre going to regulate Tobacco Products you have to do so without the Tobacco Industry involved their goals are diametrically opposed to ours theyre seeking to increase profits while were seeking to increase the number of lives we save. Im guessing you must have been pretty happy back in september when trump announced that he actually did want to ban flavored flavored cigarettes and then he changed his mind what do you think happened in the meantime do you think it really is all about potential voters. Yes it was an absolutely optimistic announcement for us it was a little disappointing that flavored cigarettes were not included it doesnt make sense to ban fully ready cigarettes without doing so and cigarettes overall in the category and its hard to say exactly which factor has most to leave him but the only factor that he should really be considering at this time is the epidemic levels of use among youth and the deaths were seeing illnesses were seeing it and taking action to protect those lives theres a lot of talk about the sort of differences between normal cigarettes and east cigarettes and increasingly we are seeing more and more people getting sick reportedly directly because of all of vaporing as its called what are the similarities are there in this industry because we know how difficult it has been to regulate over the years even sort of tobacco smoking so what similarities you see between the 2 industries now or the health level but also on the kind of pressure that the industries themselves can put on the government. Sure both companies are selling a product that. Has toxins and carcinogens in it the difference is that we know whats in cigarettes we know they kill when used as intended and are not at all a legitimate consumer goods what we dont know is whats in the cigarettes which is the really scary part of it we know about the toxins and carcinogens we know theres aerosol not water vapor in them and we know theres nicotine but we dont actually know the long term results of use and so its a little scary right now that theyre so widely available in the u. S. Market and do you think that part of them are targeted specifically a young people and even if theyre not do you think that their popularity because of the flavors for example with young people could in a way make them you know almost a gateway into smoking whereas i suppose for a lot of people their intended is a lighter version of smoking if i can use that phrase so easy gretz are being used by one in 4 American High School students 97 percent of those users say theyre using flavored isa gretz which is a pretty clear sign the flavors are withdrawing those youth in a majority of them say specifically that that was the flavors that got them to start using the product its still a little early to see exactly how many are then transitioning to cigarettes but its assumed to not be a negligible number and any product. Serves as a gateway toward cigarettes which like i said kill when used as intended shouldnt be out there making arent a Communications Manager at action on smoking and that im saying q. Thank you for having me. Candidates in Guinea Bissau president ial election are holding their final rallies ahead of sundays vote the incumbent president a joe symmetry of oz is running against 11 candidates including 2 Prime Ministers he fired during his time in office one of those at least the this column is refused to step down last month when the president fired him. Is in the capital vis our he joins us from there now so nicholas is the Campaign Wraps up there how would you describe the atmosphere. Well were just a few hours away before the end of the official campaign and weve been following this for now a weeks time right now im standing at the final Campaign Rally of domingos should morris bineta the leader of the the Biggest Political Party in this country hes speaking right here behind him hes going to step outside so you can see that there are still thousands of people here gathered in the middle of the night to listen to him talk and most of these people are young people theyre 1st time voters out of the 760000 people barbara were going to vote come out to vote on sunday many of them are 1st time voters and what has been really striking to me as we follow this election over the course of this week is the engagement of young people in the political process now this country is described by Law Enforcement agency as a norco state and some describe it as a failed state. A country where over half of the population lives on less than 2 dollars 2 dollars a day and are illiterate and yet the young people that we spoke to here believe in their political system they may not believe in their Political Leadership that our law looks in the political deadlock but theyll believe in the system itself and i thought that that was quite striking and so these candidates all 12 candidates are trying to appeal to these young voters barbara a cynical us i guess its good that young people are involved and the faith in the electoral process but when it comes to the actual vote the final one how likely is it that it will be respected by the candidates taking part themselves and that effectively there is going to be a peaceful transition of power. Thats thats the exact problem youve just nailed it barbara because this is the 1st time in guinea b. Cells history that a president will finish its mandate theres been over 2. Terms several political assassinations and already weve seen candidates questioning whether this vote will be free and fair and just days weeks before before the elections as you mentioned in your intro theres a variety of us called on the military to help them out to to to to to force the Prime Minister out of office this has spurred west African Forces to deploy further troops into the country ahead of this vote so theres theres a mixture of this political this tension this fear and of the same time this this feeling of hope especially among young people that their voices will be counted and their vote will count in this election barbara with the latest in the south as the Campaign Comes to a close for the moment nicholas thank you. Thousands of algeria have marched through the capital calling for the nations december 12 election to be canceled protesters say the election cannot be free or fair while the military and senior officials from the old guard retain power all 5 president ial candidates were senior officials of the former president have been his but if you step down in april after mass protests against him. In lebanon military parades gave way to protest marches as the country mark tidd 76th Independence Day as demonstrators continue their call for political and economic change the government was forced to downsize official celebrations joe biden has this report from beirut. I prefer its a marker of an arms independence as the country gives president at times oh this was a display of Civil Society united against the political system many now want to change. The protests which began on october the 17th a force Prime Minister sought to how do you need to resign but that hasnt been enough for the main streets or as. They want to see the back of this entire political elite and revolution is seeking to upload the entire political system the Banking System the social system and its everyone here is demonstrating against that and for the 1st time in the history of living it is decentralized as a revolution and it is not 6 teria based on lebanon sectarian constitution consensus must be reached between all sides to form a government that needs to be approved by parliament on the one side how do you want his sunni bloc in their eyes refused to accept a government that isnt formed totally off technocrats experts and professionals rather than politicians president michel on and his husband and i say thats a coup against democracy since they have a majority in parliament thats a military parade earlier on friday an admission by both sides thats a solution had to be found i think its pretty deep i think its very deep. And we have to eventually sit on some sort of a table so that we can try to hold each conversions and and lean on the the different views i mean offered by the 2 sides so if we dont do that pretty soon i think we will in my opinion we have to find a combination of Political Support for any government that we formed because of the vote of confidence that is needed at the parliament at the same time those blogs that are willing to name a government the name ministers they should understand that we cannot do things business as usual and things are different now we heard the voice of the people we respect that we should respected. At the core of the armrest is the dire Economic Situation here or the lack of Public Services the constant electricity cuts demick and institutionalized corruption that sucks away at lebanons resources for votes protesters blame leaders on all sides of the political divide. Has not been on celebrate his Independence Day the reason acute awareness of just how dependent this countrys future is outside forces other protest movements has been an attempt at achieving and realizing some faults of selfdetermination but there is a fear amongst many regional powers be it saudi arabia or.
