Colorado particle have all your support including asian Champions Council are prepared to fight saudi arabia in the semifinals of the arabian gulf cart. Though the sinking of a boat carrying refugees and migrants off the coast of mauritania in west africa has left at least 58 people dead more than 80 people they they managed to make it to shore and they have been treating in treated in the Northern City of no audible the International Organization for migration says the vessel was carrying around a 150 people most of them from gambia Mohammad Vaal is our correspondent in the mauritanian capital no upshot. 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 they were that was in the early 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 that boat coming from gambia the majority of the migrants from the country of ghana thats a small nation 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 or are they going to be buried in and itself. Well leonard from the International Organization for migration 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 150 people or a lot of fuel so it speaks really to the callousness of the smugglers the smuggling operation will of course have made their money already and is 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 stuck are you as you rightly say are there arent any authorities where people will be will leave for medical care and then really to establish like where whats their origin that we understand from the gambia and try to help them return in a in a dignified way as possible and when that actually it will all of this is that theres no happy solution for people who take these routes and especially when things like this happen they are actually end up back where they started and the only winner is this mother or i doubt we can speak to anya catchy one but his executive director of the African Foundation for development is joining us live via skype from london thanks for talking to us i guess the question is because its become such a regular occurrence as netware africans are dying in their bid to get to europe but this particular incident involves people mainly we understand from gambia why. Well theres been an issue with african labor in the last 400 years during the slave trade it was taken to the americas to work for free and now people have. To come to where the economy is so we have to disentangle lots of things why isnt that because this insertion into the berkeley economy for 400 years has been so problematic thats a big issue that we need to. You know this in time go on a 2nd issue here is the demographic growth is taking place on the continent in africa at the moment at the end of the century 40 percent of the worlds population will be african so what youre seeing is africa are exploited in its labor in a very dysfunctional manner there is a some of the issues driving this and then the final huge thing is whats happening within african economies where theres growth west africa is enjoying a period of growth in the moment but its largely jobless growth sir lot of people who are looking to go head north because they can see that by getting into europe. They can transform their lives because im seeing artist who really meant to people in gambia and they see the difference is that there is remittances make because youre dealing with because there have been student students worked let me just jump in there because of course i think that referring to a recent new n. D. P. Report which rather surprisingly outlined the fact that there is messed up things people that are prepared to make this dangerous journey for for african countries quite often in a job already mbaye have Higher Education than the the National Average so its about the value of when you know ration is it. Again we go back to the Global Economy nearly ninetys and i generally nairobi 2. 00 to 1. 00 with the dollar its now over 350. 00 to 1. 00 and. You know the difference is what people are chasing because their currencies have collapsed and they know that if they can send back a dollar or a swiss franc or i you know a pound of that it will make your and transformational difference is there are. You know graphic is not allowed to export manage wait things that it enjoys a comparative advantage in such as labor. So until we get a conversation about that really go to an economy these things are going to happen. Thats my question team what would make a significant difference to that would prevent these kinds of tragic things that were seeing almost on a monthly if not weekly basis in. I think the governments have to be have a policy for generating growth and im glad that the nigerians are now trying to put in place a very very great policy around jobs and a jobless im sorry job growth there needs to be managed. Opportunities to migrate to to europe and other places are rather than these dysfunctional migration patterns that youre seeing rafikis effectively exporting its labor and we need to have this broader conversation about Global Inequality about why economies are at such disparate ranges which actually in fuels this is well served the number of things that africans can do in terms of improving their economies a real policies around jobs and growth for young people and then that broader conversation about Global Economy when you catch one of the thank you very much thank you. The lebanese politicians are due to meet today thats monday to start for the taishan zx to nominate the next Prime Minister the businessman samir looks set to be the one to take over from the outgoing Prime Minister saad hariri bought protests is have condemned saad hariri cision to support the candidacy of mr hottie they say he wont be able to fix the corruption and mismanagement that have led to weeks of protests says go live now to our correspondent zain the honda shes in the coastal city of sidon and then a people have taken to the streets their way you are against the possible nomination of mr hurting. Yes people are angry what theyve been telling us is that the those in power arent they hearing our voices would fit on the streets for 15 days were saying that we have no faith in you those who have been in power for 30 years theyre all over the entire Economic Conditions there are a huge number of options and theyre saying that the deal that has reportedly underaged among lebanese political factions falls short of their demands severe fatigue is a successful businessman yes but he has ties to most ties with the ruling elite so people here say hes in bed really with those who are in power the new government kind of for example Political Parties will still be represented yes some of the faces who are going to be changed but in principle those who are in power will be represented in this new government its not going to be purely in the dependent as demanded by the street the street also wants early elections that is not also on the table but in your opinion that its not just me and hyperloop who established protestors but the Sunni Community 11 on is angry they feel that the president and his allies in many ways has taken over the role of the Prime Minister the Prime Ministers rule is to form the next government and there should be binding part. Matric consultations to nominate the Prime Minister what has happened is theyve made a deal behind closed doors and those consultations will happen on monday but i have to stress there is still the possibility that those consultations are going to happen and that the deal could break break down in the last minute. And does zain i mean what the protesters seem to be asking for is as you as youve alluded to a complete Russian Branch in the whole of what is essentially a sectarian system of government but they come surely cant expect that to be put into effect immediately all they prepared to compromise. Well theyve told us this from the beginning they know that these demands are quite difficult to achieve but they believe this is the only way to save their word save their country the economy is in dire straits the banks have imposed capital controls you cant even with draw your salary the lebanese leeroy its devaluing so people here believe that everyone who has been in power for the past 30 years mostly but those people are holding on to power they are powerful so you try to interview people here many of them will give us their last names theyve said theyre telling us that weve been intimidated by those in power some of us have been arrested there are people who continue to support the mainly sectarian Political Parties and they have attacked us so this is not an easy fight and people here are under no illusions that this is hard but martina the numbers have fizzled out the 1st few weeks hundreds of thousands were in the streets and now a few 100 here in their protest are decentralized their spontaneous but what theyre schmalz im sorry in many many ways those in power have broken the back of this protest movement at least in the streets all right thank you for that zain hold that live in side on in the oven and. Now to france where one of the biggest strikes in more than a decade is starting to cripple services across the country with schools closed transport. It has been disrupted many government offices shut tens of thousands of workers have not turned up to work and protest marches are planned imperator and in other cities over the coming hours is the major disruption in the capital most Train Services canceled and hundreds of flights have also been affected. Strikers are angry that president macro is planning to change the Pension System they say their work longer hours and then that with less money for retirement lets go live now to natasha about that shes a correspondent she is impairing and it seems very much as though from the scene behind you the call for a National Strike is being heeded. Yes where im standing pretty much gives you a picture of whats happening across paris today because red one of the main paris train stations is usually incredibly busy with lots of people going in and out of the station commuting getting around but theres really no one here and thats what its like at the other stations and bus stations across the capital because there are barely no metros very few buses most of the trains are running its the same picture at the airports with air Traffic Controllers on strike an air france pilots also on strike but its not just transport lots of other jobs lots of other professions and people have decided to stay off work lawyers doctors teachers so thats means major disruption in schools universities business the cause offering a very Minimal Service as well and the reason being all those people are saying that they are protesting against the governments planned Pension Reforms and the government says the Pension System needs to be reformed because it is inefficient its unwieldy and its basically losing a lot of money and they say its unfair but those people who protest are saying that they are scared that theyre going to end up losing out in the future because of these reforms or having reduced pensions and maybe even having to work longer hours what weve been speaking to people on both sides are really those people who do feel that the governments reforms are unfair and others who say in fact know the system really does need to change. Not me as passionate about his job producing bread and pastries in his bakery outside paris but after working for more than 40 years hes looking thing with 2 retiring he hopes the french governments plans to reform the Pension System wont affect his future and he understands why so many people oppose them. The i do would be to find a system thats fair for everyone its a big ask some people were hired with certain benefits and now theyre being told those advantages could be taken away. 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 Marcos Campaign 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. In 1995 president jacques chiracs government scrapped its reform plans after 3 weeks of nationwide strikes in 2007 president Nicolas Sarkozy pushed through some changes but not without public protest macross plans faced opposition from many sections of society including transport workers and threatened rolling strikes. The ideal would be to find a system thats fair for everyone its a big ask some people were hired with certain benefits and other being told those advantages could be taken away this analyst says the president faces his biggest test yet. You think theres a risk that all the sectors joining in health transport lawyers university then the government could fall i dont think that we had that point yet but the government certainly cant back down because it would be a political failure. And mcconnell has already passed several controversial reforms and although he may feel confident after surviving months of yellow vest protests social discontent still lingers. Well you would have seen the yellow vest protest is there the end of that story in the yellow vest protesters are in fact joining this. Huge march that will take place across paris there already gatherings like that in several other cities across the country now of the trade unions are saying is that although some of the some people be going back to work from friday thats tomorrow some of the transport systems will still be affected they will cause major disruption over the next few weeks until the government listens to their demands. That are about to live in paris and weve got a lot more to come here on the aljazeera news hour including they rebuild their lives after years of war only to see their homes washed away well have more on south sudans floods and. The thousands of people block roads more cost a job again in colombia. And we hear from these 2 heavyweights ahead of the big money fight in the middle east. With 3 legal experts called by the u. S. Democrats have testified the president committed impeachable offenses but there was a 4th scholar who had been invited by the republicans who said the evidence is insufficient the President Trumps accused of abusing his power to push ukraine into investigating his political rival joe biden. Reports from washington. 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 call by democrats running 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 buy for. 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 says 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 merik. And 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 right lets hear now from the democratic chairman of that committee the House Judiciary Committee jerry that left this situation meets all 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 understand that. When you talk about facts being under speedy these facts are disputed not just disputed theyre actually contradicted so we have no problem finals of this president did nothing wrong there was nothing that we found or simply he did not do anything wrong so ive said all along its easy for us to make the arm up because the process is terrible and the facts are on our side.
