We begin in mauritania where at least 58. 00 refugees and migrants have drowned after their boat capsized off the coast the International Organization for migration says survivors and now being treated in the Northern City of new what hebrew it says the vessel was carrying at least 150. 00 people from gambia and was no on fuel well our correspondent mohammed follow joins me now from that smart 10 years capital mohammed what more do we know at this stage i see that some did manage to swim to safety but there are still people missing. Thats right about 83. 00 people managed to swim to the shore and they were found by the military Police Outside the Northern City of and why the that was the evening hours yesterday those people gave more news about what happened that boat capsized off the shore and after about 10 days being stranded there running out of fuel and so on so they gave more details and scores of people at least dozens of people are still missing they are supposed to be of course dead women and children where on the boats coming from gambia the majority of the migrants from the country a small nation in west africa one of those poor countries that supply this migration to words europe this story is still unfolding those people who escaped are being treated in and why do we dont have much information about whats happening to the bodies are they going to return them to their countries of origin are they going to be buried in itself and monitor i know this is an incredibly long route to europe from gambia are we seeing people take more risks. Exactly which is a very small nation has supplied according to the International Organization for migration about 35000. 00 migrants to europe over the last 4 or 5 years and thats probably one of the smallest numbers compared to other countries like nigeria like mali and other countries this is the region remember one of the poorest countries regions in africa and its form of conflicts and other conditions that are driving young people to the European Countries. Efforts have been made discussions are going on between European Countries and african countries trying to stabilize these people and to use them in their societies but solutions are very slow to give any results and those people are continuing to take that very risky journey and dying in their hundreds sometimes thousands on the Atlantic Ocean and also on the mediterranean sea. Speaking to us from our 10 years catherine i will be bringing you more details as we get them thank you well earlier i spoke to Leonard Doyle hes from the International Organization for migration and he says people are being exploited by callous smugglers. I think we can fairly assume that this is the result of nancy where the vessel overcrowded as were learning or a 150 people who are out of fuel so it speaks really to the callousness of the smugglers the smuggling operation well of course it made their money it already does it into the wilderness and i think thats basically the problem here is that youre being exploited well one can imagine that theyre deeply traumatized and are stopped are you as you rightly say are there. Any authority but people will be they will leave for medical care and then really to establish like where whats their origin that we understand from the gambia im trying to help them return in a in a dignified way as possible and i mean that actually it will all of this is that theres no happy solution for people who take these routes once that and especially when things like this happen they are eventually end up back where they started and the only winner is this mother. Now 3 legal experts called by us democrats have testified that President Donald Trump committed impeachable offenses a 4th scott he was invited by the republicans says the evidence is insufficient trump is accused of abusing his power to push the ukraine into investigating his political rival how does our cast have reports from washington d. C. You swear or affirm under penalty of perjury some of us constitutional scholars have weighed in the President Trumps ukraine scandal is an impeachable then nothing is and professor gary hart did President Trump commit the impeachable high crime and misdemeanor of abuse of power we 3 are unanimous yes the 3 law professors called by democrats rang in unison alarm bells that the countrys democracy is under threat by the president s actions what has happened in the case today is something that i do not think we have ever seen before a president who has doubled down on violating his oath to faithfully execute the laws and to protect and defend the constitution this president has attacked each of the constitutions safeguards against establishing a monarchy in this country in the simplest possible terms the president put his personal game ahead of the National Security interest its better to be on t. V. Than by for being the 4th scholar said if trump had tried to force ukraine to investigate a political rival in exchange for military aid it would be impeachable but the scholar wednesdays sole republican witness testified the case against trump has not been proven this would be the 1st impeachment in history where there would be considerable debate in my view not compelling evidence of the commission of a crime more than a dozen white house and state department professionals have testified that trump used the power of his office to pressure ukraine to open an investigation into joe biden a potential political rival in the upcoming us president ial election the House Intelligence Committee drafted a report saying there was overwhelming evidence for this including trumps own words in a phone call with the president of ukraine thats not politics as usual at least not in the United States or not in any mature democracy trump. As the law professors called by democrats represent the liberal left but he declined to testify himself and refused to send white House Attorneys to represent his case for innocence what theyre doing is a very bad thing for our country its of no merit. The Republican Party has never been more unified ever trump is counting on republicans who control the senate to acquit him of wrongdoing in an eventual impeachment trial. Castro aljazeera washington all speaking after the hearing the tenant of the House Judiciary Committee democrat jerry nada says the evidence is overwhelming this situation meets 3 tests the president committed impeachable offenses they were important impeachable offenses they go to the constitute the heart of our Constitutional Republic they threaten the survival of democracy itself in the integrity of free elections and a majority of the people and of the end of the house i believe i understand that but the Top Republican on the committee doug collins says the facts are on their side when you talk about facts being undisputed these facts are disputed not just disputed theyre actually contradicted so we have no problem funnels up this president did nothing wrong there was nothing that we found is impeachable he did not do anything also ive said all along its easy for us to because the process is terrible and the facts are on our side lebanese politicians will meet on monday to begin formal consultations to nominate the next Prime Minister businessman samir looks set to take over from outgoing Prime Minister saad hariri but protesters have condemned harry reids decision to back to head the next cabinet they say he wont be able to fix the corruption and government mismanagement that have led to weeks of protests but our correspondents anahata has the latest from beirut where protesters are gathering again. Well they didnt get what they wanted what they wanted was an independent government independent from Political Parties in order to quote save the country the country is in dire economic straits they want their government to pave the way for early elections what lebanons political leaders have agreed on is nominating really theyre set to nominate some year for t. V. Yes he doesnt have political experience but he has close ties with the ruling elite so that is why they took to the streets late yesterday they tried to block roads but the Security Forces quickly intervened there seems to be a deal among lebanese political factions that they will no longer allow this protest movement to disrupt political life yes they can gather in protest sites like the one behind me but apart from that its going to be business as usual that is the message from the political elite yes theyve made some concessions some divisive figures will not be in in government theyre also going to give some portfolios to independents people who were involved in this protest movement but overall the same Political Parties are going to govern this country but the biggest question is why wait till monday to hold those formal consultations. Does it mean that this deal could break down in the last minute this specially since the Prime Minister the caretaker Prime Minister saddle heidi whose support is needed because you need a sunday cover for the Prime Ministers post is still not clear and medical teams are going door to door in summer as they race to backstage as many people as possible against measles an outbreak in the Pacific Island nation has already killed more than 60 people Young Children prompting an imagine sea response jessica washington reports from the capital.

That we are more conscious now people are more conscious now than before that by coming and have your children vaccinated is the only way those on the front lines say the campaign is working families are actually looking forward to turning in and being vaccinated they are open to having conversations to begin with so thats a real bonus for us because it means that were providing education whilst at the same time the liver in the vaccine to protect them a note of hope in some Unprecedented Health emergency jessica washington aljazeera.

And lebanese politicians will meet on monday to begin formal consultations to nominate the next Prime Minister businessmen some look set to take over from outgoing Prime Minister saad hariri protesters have condemned that decision. Now the nato summit has ended with leaders uniting behind common commitments despite the meeting highlighting business divisions they disagreed on issues like russia and china and settled on a baltic defense plan but behind the display of. Cracks are showing as dana have reports from northern outskirts so good morning i think were ready to start if you can find those seats this gathering of nato leaders had one objective a show of unity to mark 70 years of the worlds most successful military alliance one for all and all for one instead it was a public display of differences that began the day before on tuesday u. S. President donald trump was on the combative form not the 1. 3 armstrong says not only will macron on nato strategy budget payments and trumps unilateral withdrawal of u. S. Troops from Northern Syria this way it is everywhere where it is probably years ago. But trumps views are no longer those of a president seen as preeminent leader of the alliance now some allies here including the british french and canadian leaders see donald trump as disruptor in chief apparently sharing a joke at his expense tearing tuesday nights reception at buckingham palace. Were. Trumps response on being asked about the canadian Prime Ministers comments on these 2 facts and soon afterwards he tweeted that there was no need for a final press conference. Emanuel macron meanwhile continued to press his case for change you know to me who is our enemy how can we act together against International Terrorism in particular these are all subjects that were not sufficiently settled i debated should be about something or there then but history and Financial Issues theres all this particular lot of thought if the voices of reassurance were left sounding a bit thin you know always been able to overcome these differences and then unite around the record cost to protect the Founding Fathers and thats exactly what to do today the question it all raises is central to what nato is and what it exists for what happens to an alliance built on collective defense when that collective commitment that spirit of unity isnt just solid as some would like it to be nato member turkeys president rigid tired earlier one had earlier demanded that the kurds abandoned by trump in Northern Syria be recognized as what he called terrorists or hed veto the Alliance Efforts to bolster eastern defenses against russia this was a threat that represented a fracturing of nato central accord is what trump and macron do seem to agree on but many others dont that russia is no longer the enemy it was and while nato is focus has widened to include china Cyber Security hybrid warfare the alliance cant hide from the difficult truth that multiple challenges mean multiple conflicting interests undermining the unity theyve come here to celebrate going to aljazeera at watford north london a Syrian Civil Defense agency says at least 6 people have been killed by russian and Government Air strikes in northwest the white helmet said children were trapped under rubble after home is behind the attack syria and russia have increased bombing of the area since april with more than a 1000 civilians carrying.

These people of protesting the citizenship amendments bill which has been cleared by the indian cabinet and will soon be tabled in the Indian Parliament the bill says that if youre a hindu or a christian or a general but these from of bans on pakistan and bangladesh and gandhi live in india then you would not be treated as an illegal migrant breed excludes the muslims these people say that thats a part of the poor rising politics of the ruling party in the country not part of the genital party some experts have gone to the extent of defining it as unconstitutional they say this bill goes against the idea of a secular india because it excludes muslims in short as this government makes a National Register of citizens which is essentially a list of people of who is and who isnt an indian then the hindus will be kept in but not the muslims.

In france the Pension Systems complicated each profession has a different scheme some people fear losing certain advantages or having their pensions reduced under the governments proposed reforms others say the system must be simplified. I think Pension Systems need to be reformed its not acceptable that there are so many schemes i think france has needed reforms for a while theyre not done because theres a lack of courage and people take to the streets immediately reforming the Pension System was one of Emmanuel MarcosCampaign Promises he says it needs to be streamlined to make it fairer and save public money but past president s have tried to reform it and failed.
