Evidence is released as Congress Prepares to hear the legal arguments. And more children die as a missiles outbreak ravages the South Pacific island nations of some more. With the sport as former australian rugby player israel folau reaches a settlement over unfair dismissal for an anti gay social media parts. Its been labeled brained by the french president and there are disagreements over its direction but nato leaders are now gathering at a hotel near london for a summit hoping to find unity over its future is a live pictures from the round table in what for north of london nato of course riddled with disagreements between some of its most prominent member countries the. U. S. And the french president in particular have disagreed on several points including the very role of nato itself and turkey has threatened to block a major defense plan which could undermine the alliances role in the baltic region the nato secretary general u. N. Stoltenberg was the 1st to arrive at the summit venue he says china will be a big focus we have seen the russell trying on including their investments in the defense capabilities chinas armed law a 2nd largest defense spending in the world next to the United States and. Recently displayed new modern capabilities including and Nuclear Weapons so we have to address these. The rise of china together. And look forward to the allies doing data of these leaders meeting for the 1st time ok lets go live to my colleague diplomatic editor james bays whos at that nato meeting so james give us a sense of how much acrimony they have to get past today. Theres a great deal of division and theres a great deal of really open division the french president Emmanuel Mccraw when he arrived here about half an hour ago was again asked about his brain dead comment he seemed a little frustrated by the media repeating to ask that question as he looked a little frustrated i think also 24 hours ago when he sat down with President Trump but he said it stimulates a dialogue among the nato leaders is what i think is interesting is that you have a very compressed formal meeting around the table here at this luxury hotel near what food and thats because i think they want to keep this is short as possible because they know how many problems there are facing this alliance they will be looking at things future threats areas where perhaps theyll be less disagreements so that were looking at china as you mentioned and the threat from china that were looking at Artificial Intelligence theyll be looking at outer space perhaps they can find agreements on those things when they cant find agreement scenes on some of the current threats and on the actual fee chill role of nato 70 years after this alliance was born it is certainly facing some serious difficulties as youre talking to us james we are watching the assembled president s and Prime Ministers going up to the stage there theyre being piped on by a scottish pipe or wearing cost of oil stuart tartan will stay with these live pictures as long as they last and carry on talking to james james i mean they dont seem to have much face time built into their discussions either yesterday or today so when it comes to that happy smiley photo op theres a lot of stuff going on in the background. Theres a huge amount of stuff going on in the background because there are a series of different divisions and disputes between various of these nato leaders now the big one i think is the one that burst out into the open last time they had a summit 18 months ago in brussels and thats the one led by President Trump against most of the rest of the alliance where he says that the u. S. Has been doing far too much and paying far too much and the other allies need to do their bit and i think that will again come out in the discussions today and well be watching very closely what President Trump says in some of his meetings some some of his bilateral meetings that take place later on so thats discrete number one dont will trump against the others with regard to whether the others are doing their bit and paying their fair fair share then you have what you saw 24 hours ago which is the difficulties between trump and macro about what nato is for what the future of nato is then i think you you have other difficulties with regard to conflicts in the middle east particularly syria where you see the president otoh on has a very different view of syria and Northern Syria following his incursion in Northern Syria clearly nature is not involved there but nato allies do not like what turkey is doing there another dispute going on behind the scenes which senior nato figures have told me is much more serious than many media reporting is the tension in nato and in the European Union growing tension between the french and the germans what im being told is that because of breaks it the u. K. Which is always in the past but a bit of a counterbalance to those other 2 leaders in the u. Is tied up with breaks it was. There is a growing rivalry and some of its personal between chancellor merkel and president macro you have one leader whos very restricted on the domestic stage because of protests. Joan thats president mark rohr whos put it all is energy on the International Stage and im told by one politician i spoke to seen by other europeans particularly the germans is very cocky in that role and you have chancellor merkel who perhaps one could say is declining in influence in europe because everyone knows she will soon in the next year or so be leaving the world stage added in one last factor in all of this and thats that very differing views as you go across the nato allies with regard to russia and the threat from russia and that i think shows you the range of different divisions facing these leaders peter james for the moment many thanks well talk to you later im sure will stay with these live pictures coming to us from what for just north of london and as we observe whats going on there in that luxury hotel venue lets talk too for bring sportier he was director of policy planning at nato and is now the chief Strategy Officer at rasmussen global he joins us from santa and there in spain for priest Party Welcome back to the news or lets just talk about that issue there that james was raising our diplomatic editor talking about tensions between the french and the germans the french and the germans have for so long been a positive axis in nato theyve been a positive axis with in the European Union are these tensions a measure of how shaky nato is feeling right now. Well i mean it is really being done in the Franco German relation its always been complicated over the last 10 years it be going to be yes even treating weve germany weekly very strong and fronts facing more challenges and i think what mccoys be turning to do since you to people who are these 2 to meet it kind of rebalance that tradition cheap and it is true of course these right that he made some very trying. To be for the euro a lot to also change the European Union and he didnt really get merged traction didnt leave and i think now hes trying to kind of things if a new kind of pressure or more before i mean Security Police unit where indeed falls has emerged wakes then germany. This is actually roughly many featherston buried across the other european capitals because hes starting at something that they really need you feel strongly about needs me and her and we need to and that sensible people they should ship so its true that the ration ship is pretty bad but. Its not been you know always easy better question here is whether i think core american can come together both on foreign and Security Policy but also on the future of the european project ok well talk about the european project a little later i suspect but there is on happiness over what turkey is or is not doing in syria turkeys line line is look im going off to why p. G. Terrorist that is what he would be saying to other nato leaders theres also on happiness over who spends hwat on halt within the constraints of the budget and theres also an happiness over the brain that comment that did not go down well out of those 3 issues whats the issue that they can make progress on and get back to being on the same page. Well i think on defense spending things really much better are you see here on Defense Budgets are going up more who are going into the red something year days of the better story than there where they was 5 years ago and you can see john kind of sticking ownership of these a drama within the European Defense spending so i think this is where are the things on wall was it. A divisive aspect is that what you point to that these people because 1st not everybody at nato wants to get to syria nobody wants to give a blank check to you know who are bent on them and does it remind people what they mean by terrorism like you say when an event means by terrorism you splendid form what the french president and the u. S. President and dissent and how they can reach that i dont think they would be able to do that with a great 1st this morning so where do they take that particular debate. I think this is in the millions is not going to happen and we didnt need to and this is going to be hopefully the basis now you know in more than actually bay between and barrys in washington. I think we need some opportunities were actually more closely to what groups here aligned with jerseys junior perceptions and fears about what is happening in syria and we had a nice millions of opportunities the question eased whether we had the current us president once did these an. Explosive. Things back in together so i think it will happen and there at the summit and you know most likely to need to even and even now were going to indeed have some kind of need to rule as far as the sponsor decent be more crucial report station ok fabrice party it will talk again im sure in the coming hours in the meantime many thanks lets just stay with these live pictures for the next 30 seconds or so. Shared by johnson its on his territory in the u. K. The u. K. Prime minister of course he is in the middle of a highly divisive Election Campaign at the moment because there is a general election in the u. K. On the 1st date december the 12th its the press that general election we were hearing there from james bays our diplomatic editor the whole issue of bricks across europe is feeding into the relationship between paris and berlin and that is feeding into that relationship as well between germany and problems within the context of the nato relationship beyond stoltenberg there thats just listening to whats been said on some for a host all of us its really good pressure to be here do not be kingdom wallsten a tools 1st home so it is fitting that to be metered to mark the 70th anniversary of our alliance to celebrate our success and to ensure our Alliance Remains surfeit for the future. Nato is the most successful alliance in the history because we have changed the world changed and in the last few years we have implemented the biggest increase our collective defense in a generation we have stepped up in the fight against terrorism and we are investing more in our defense since 2016 european allies and can other how other 230000000000. 00 through their Defense Budgets this is unprecedented it is making nato stronger nate the remains the only platform where north america and europe discuss this side and take actions together everyday to protect almost a warm 1000000000 people so what ever our differences we will continue to unite around our core task to defend one another all for one and one for all and now i invite holst prime is johnson to take the voice of board a speech other for thank you very much hence and im delighted to welcome everybody here to the United Kingdom to celebrate the 70th anniversary of nato and as you say yes i do feel that our alliance is coming home because britain was a Founding Member of nato and it was here that nato opened its 1st headquarters of course in Belgrave Square shortly actually before moving to paris as im sure colleagues will recall 70 years on we are rock solid in our commitment to nato and to the giant shield of solidarity that now protects 29 countries and nearly a 1000000000 people. The fact that we live in peace today demonstrates the power of johnson the u. K. Prime minister there whos chairing the gathering in what for just north of london saying welcome to everyone reminding the world and indeed all the nato members that are there not just president s Prime Ministers but also their ancillary staff the Civil Servants the Foreign Ministers people that dominic rob the u. K. Foreign minister will be there might compare the u. S. Secretary of state he will be in orbit as well stoltenberg doing 2 things very clearly one referring to whats called the 4 musketeers clause which is one for all all for one thats what nato is all about and also lets talk to james bays our diplomatic editor about this one specifically james saying straight up 1st line there from yen stoltenberg we are adding more money to our budget so clearly signaling to donald trump look you know youve been nagging nagging us about this for a few years now and were doing it. Yes i think trying to show donald trump that things are changing and certainly when he spoke with President Trump when they were photographed together and spoke together 24 hours ago crediting President Trump with changing things but the trump factor is an important factor in all of this its worth noting this is the 70th year of nato and theyre having this big gathering in the u. K. Because the 1st temporary headquarters of nato was in london and actually their actual signing of the treaty which has that article 5 which says that any one nato member under attack all the others will support that member of that treaty was actually signed in washington but the actual moment of of remembering that treaty signing which i attended in washington in the summer was pretty low key only Foreign Ministers why did they not have this big summit in the summer in washington because of President Trump they really feared the unpredictability of him being a gathering like this and that remains i think particularly after the events of the summer 2018 when it looked like in a summit in nato that President Trump was about to pull out the alliance and really fraught discussions during that summit President Trump i think remains one of the most unpredictable elements of of this alliance but remember also what president mackerel said in that interview in which he said that strategically nato is brain dead he doubted whether that article 5 whether from its necessarily would act under that article 5 so this basic a loyalty that is that nato is supposed to be about this alliance in this treaty is supposed to be about i think its an in some doubt right now james for the moment thank you very much. And well of course keep your cross all the developments coming to us from nato 70th birthday gathering in london as and when we can chinas condemning the u. S. Bill demanding the closure of socalled reeducation camps for weaker muslims the u. S. Legislation still to be passed by the senate also threaten sanctions against communist Party Officials blamed for abuse more than a 1000000 of the Muslim Minority are imprisoned as part of a long running government crackdown in the Northwestern Region of the john burns in hong kong he says this is part of a cold war between the u. S. And china. Weve had a fierce and Swift Response from the Chinese Foreign ministry they have called this bill malicious they say that the United States is wantonly smearing chinas efforts to try to combat the terrorism problem that it says it has in the far Western Province of shin jang and its warning of on specified retaliation now why is this so sensitive for china world changing lies at the heart of president cheating pings ambitious one belt one road project and for that project to work shouldnt jiang has to work in china says for the last few years she hasnt been working because of what it says has been a growing terrorism problem chinas response for that has been draconian it has set up what human Rights Groups say are nothing more than reeducation camps camps that china says are Vocational Training centers where we get to learn to try to find ways to improve their lives well human Rights Groups insists that is simply not the case it has now been taken up to the highest levels reaching the house of representatives and potentially President Donald Trump could now sign this act into law this in many ways is a defining moment for we good people because the president of the United States is now listening to their plight with the shin jang weaker act the United States is also saying that senior Chinese Government officials including the communist party chief of shin jang could himself be sanctioned so this is a very important moment for chinas relationships with the United States and its a reminder that this is not just a diplomatic war we are in the middle of a cold war ok lets get more on that for you joining us here on the news Damien Kingsbury hes a professor of International Politics at Deakin University in Melbourne Australia damien welcome back to the news hour what are the chances here that this will tilt towards retaliation on the part of the chinese. Well certainly china will respond they will retaliate it slightly by will close down or at least impose restrictions upon foreign n. G. O. S working in china particularly those associated with the United States theyre likely to limit or stop the visits by the u. S. And i will fly to hong kong but it probably wont go so far as to stop official visit by saying you know members of the administration is it guaranteed that the u. S. President donald trump will sign the legislation and if or when he does sign the legislation does that alter the optics completely. Its likely that donald trump will sign the legislation but not guarantee and he will always be looking out for whats in his political best interests as we have changed in the past so whilst he would likely astuteness course its not guaranteed we just have to say if he does sign it into legislation then its up to the executive up to the president dont try to act on it and its not clear what actions he might take he has said that he might push off the tried talks until after the next president ial election next year and that mange said that he could take some strong action in the interim period and that might play well domestically ahead of the elections but again anything is possible and the way it is could end up like the kurds simply being a pawn in his larger political game what might that strong action be if he wants to ringfence the the actual safety and im choose my words deliberately or the actual safety of american based n. G. O. S who live and work in china. Well frankly theres not very much that donald trump or the United States administration can do to protect n. G. O. S that work in china if if china decides to retaliate at quite vulnerable but thats thats a relatively limited diplomatic response to what is an escalating conflict between china and the United States given its legislation goes to the hospital what china sais as its domestic issues and then really i think that what china can do is quite limited so this would be a certainly a response that likely consider probably act upon but not one that would have my diplomatic impact ok but in the meantime is anything that were seeing coming through the system at the moment in real terms or potentially lessening the plight of the weaker muslims not look a lot of this is rhetoric in the end its really about moral outrage at that being sane to say the right things but not really doing very much sanctions on saying you know Chinese Administration officials really want to change the situation and change or with the way it is about a 1000000 a bit more than a 1000000 way gets i believe to be in a cell rich cash and cant see sensually prison thats about 20 percent of the way the populations are really given that. Now has about 40 percent of its population comprised of china han chinese that is conventional based because china age that really is starting to look at bit like democracy side like shin johnnies being cleared out in order to you and to get it twice in that territory they mean thank you very much they make things move there in melbourne. Well mr trump attends that nato meeting in london back across the atlantic his political rivals have laid out what they say is quote overwhelming evidence of the u. S. President s misconduct in office the 300 page impeachment report says mr trump used his power to seek help from ukraines president to benefit his reelection bid why did you cast reports now from washington. House intelligence chairman adam schiff presentation of his committees report on donald trump offered little more than was already known but its a key moment in what could be the impeachment of a president this is not about ukraine this is about our democracy this is about our National Security this is about whether the American People have a right to expect that the president i states is going to act of their interests with their security in mind and not for some elicit personal or political reason so americans should care deeply about what the president and states is betraying their trust in him betraying that old foot he took to the constitution to protect our country and defend its institutions according to the reports President Trump solicited interference from ukraine to benefit his reelection conditioning a white house visit for the ukrainian president and 400000000. 00 in u. S. Military aid on a Public Statement that ukraine would investigate joe bidens family for alleged corruption trump denies he did anything wrong a white house spokeswoman released a statement saying at the end of a one sided sham process chairmanship and the democrats utterly fail to produce any evidence of wrongdoing by President Trump this report reflects nothing more than their frustrations chairmanships report reads like the ramblings of a basement blogger straining to prove something when there is evidence of nothing. The evidence came from 17 witnesses including state department and white house insiders who testified trump ran a Shadow Campaign that undermined official u. S. Foreign policy toward ukraine there was also the partial transcript of a phone call in which trump asked ukraines president for a favor the biden investigation republicans rebutted with their own report offering a very different reading of the facts they say the testimonies are here say that the phone call was perfect and that the democrats efforts to impeach the president are an attack on a duly elected leader tamara provides nothing except a dreary drowsy appraisal for this country to watch as the impeachment process slowly drags on with no direction no focus because theyre having one big problem and the big problem is the president did nothing will and they cant prove the process will now shift to the House Judiciary Committee which will draft articles of impeachment likely to focus on abuse of power and obstruction of Congress Americans have been evenly divided on whether to impeach and remove trump from office both Political Parties are claiming to be protecting american democracy. Castro aljazeera washington now in the South Pacific islands of some war the governments ordered emergency steps to contain an outbreak of measles families who havent been vaccinated or being ordered to fly a red flag outside their homes the disease has already claimed the lives of at least 60 islanders most of them under 4 years old fewer than a 3rd of the 200000 population of been immunized but measles vaccinations on a compulsory 171 new cases were recorded in the past 24 hours and more than 4000 of course measles jessica washington reports now from the capital. The country in crisis scrambling to vaccinate its people and get this outbreak under control. Measles is an entirely preventable disease but thats not prevented many parents in samoa from having to bury their own children. Really. We really want to. Take. A. Situation. Where. They can get healthy the queues for vaccines are getting longer and Health Clinics around this Pacific Island nation. Have a new fever. And im lucky enough to live especially in the triple destroying. Children under the age of 4 other most at risk the outbreak which began in october coincided with the global rise in measles cases more than 60000 people have been vaccinated since a state of emergency was declared in the middle of last month but many are now asking why more wasnt done earlier to combat some devastatingly low vaccination rates in 2018 only one in 3 children under 5 had been vaccinated Health Authorities say the low rate was due to a medical mishap last year when 2 babies died after they were given wrongly administered doses so despite efforts trusting to the mother theres not necessarily. Ground here this is how we explain 4 1652 ready cases. An average of 175. 00 per hour 24 hours as the crisis grows the government is bolstering its Vaccination Campaign most Civil Servants are being sent to Health Clinics to help out and authorities are urging other people to stay at home just to washington aljazeera. The World Health Organization says the fight against malaria is stalling even though its still making more than 200000000. 00 people sick every year about 400000. 00 of those who get infected die mostly children in africa on average one child dies from malaria every 2 minutes the World Health Organization as latest report also shows 11000000 pregnant women had malaria in Subsaharan Africa last year affecting the health of almost 900000 newborn babies the report goes on to say well progress has been made money is short so donor countries and governments need to do more joining us on the news are nor is the Surveillance Team leader for the World Health Organization Global Malaria Program and lead author of that world malaria report 2019 hes in geneva nor welcome to the news hour so the fight has stalled but has it stabilized. We hope that we would be able to make progress Going Forward on what the Analysis Shows that over the last. 3 years the change in the trend in malaria cases and fossil related deaths has somewhat the stimulus. Despite happy progress since 2000 when the Global Investment in malaria started and saw on the one hand weve made 2 different progress over the last 1000 years. To the last 3 to 4 years we see the rate of progress slowing down we are concerned that that is going to continue if we do not act quickly and effectively within that 3 year period that youre talking about which specific countries are we talking about. I mean the majority of by far the majority of the burden of malaria and so is Subsaharan Africa over 90 percent of cases and over 90 percent of deaths and so any stalling of progress in the highest bed in Subsaharan African countries contributes significantly to the stalling of cases globally and so the the the challenges and the. Starting of the progress has been a particular problem in the haste but in countries in Subsaharan Africa were talking about nigeria dear to see gunna mali. And a number of others how much money do you need and is it just a simple saying you need money or do you need to use it properly. We need to do both quite clearly we need to improve how we invest the existing resources to allow us to achieve bigger impact and the doubly sure on the Global Partnership is working with the countries to improve the d efficiency of the heart of this is a better use of data to effectively target populations are treated on the other hand we need more money and they doubly to estimates that in 2018 we needed about 5 1000000000. 00 globally to be to put us on target for the Global Stores but the investment was about 2700000000. 00 on the one hand the fact that globally weve managed to make the investment fairly stable of a number of years is very impressive because they demanded a Global Resources by their hand in the middle of growing. Populations and fairly high transmission we run the risk of losing the gains weve made in the past saw 2 different investment Going Forward is also required and in particular. More effort from the country certain most affected by this disease. Nor in geneva thank you very much.
