A likely choice to become the next Prime Minister. About peter seem a little bit school will live from doha as old stadium with asian champions qatar will for itself be rebuilt in the semifinals of the gold cup later those needs are. Thank you very much for joining as the top democrat in the u. S. Congress nancy pelosi says President Donald Trump must be impeached and removed from office his statement comes as the impeachment process enters its latest phase the House Judiciary Committee is deciding on charges for the house of representatives to vote on the final report from the intelligence committees inquiry said trump abused his power to pressure ukraine into investigating its political rival joe biden. I democracy is what is it stake the president leaves us no choice but to act because he is trying to corrupt once again the election for his own benefit the president has engaged in abuse of power undermining our National Security and jeopardizing the integrity of our elections his actions are in defiance of the vision of our founders and the oath of office that he takes to preserve protect and defend the constitution of the state or the white house response was swift on twitter President Trump accused democrats of having no case saying i say youre going to impeach me do it now fast so we can have a fair trial in the senate and so that our country can get back to business while our White House Correspondent Kimberly Harkat is standing by with more reaction from there but 1st lets go to. Also in washington d. C. For us heidi 1st of all how significant is. This meant what is she trying to achieve by ok the drafting of impeachment articles against president. Well it is a great moment of Political Drama not only is nancy pelosi the speaker of the house of representatives but of course shes the 2nd in line to the presidency herself so bringing the weight of the House Speakers words to push this impeachment forward saying that she is now asking the Judiciary Committee to draft these articles of impeachment it doesnt change anything in the practical terms of where we were already headed but it brings more gravity to the situation and it frames the significance of this moment for the American Public so what is it these articles of impeachment what does that really mean will these are the charges if you will that the president would eventually face if as all the signs indicate at this point when this impeachment reaches the senate or the trial phase which would determine whether or not trump is removed from office and so now the pending question is what charges what articles of impeachment will the president be facing it appears that there is a push to narrowly focused these articles on the abuse of power allegations in trumps dealing with ukraine theres also indication that they may they may include obstruction of congress detailing the president s. Efforts not to cooperate with the impeachment inquiry itself and then theres also the question of whether or not democrats will look back at the russian vest a geisha in the mall or report which recommended several possible obstruction of Justice Charges that could be resolved in an impeachment as well so what is next then in the process itself when can we expect the house of representatives to vote on these articles of impeachment and then send them to the senate. Well since this inquiry hit the ground democrats have been pushing forward at breakneck pace and this only indicates that will be sustained right now were hearing that a full vote to impeach the president by the house will be held around christmas time which would put us on track for the senate starting a trial in the new year in january but how that trial will unfold is very much an open question this is only ever happened twice in the history of u. S. President s where an impeachment has reached the senate phase and theres still a lot at stake a slot to be discussed among democrats and republicans that will have a shot what the rules of that trial will be of course trying to make those rules favorable to the arguments of either side i can believe heidi rather thank you very much for that we now go to kimberly hocket White House Correspondent is going to tell us about the reaction from the president can be. Yeah a lot of activity here the white house follow we know that the White House Press staff had been huddled up hours earlier as this announcement by the House Speaker nancy pelosi was taking place one of those officials are emerging just moments ago telling our senior white house producer Chris Sheridan that in fact there will be a statement coming from the white house later today we dont know if this will be the president we dont know if this will be the press secretary certainly the press secretary has already reacted she sent out a tweet saying that Speaker Pelosi and the democrats should be ashamed real donald trump era the president has done nothing but lead our country resulting in a booming economy more jobs a stronger military to name just a few of his accomplishments we look forward to a fair trial in the senate his campaign sending out a similar statement were looking forward to a fair trial in the senate what are they saying the argument here seems to be with the case that the republicans in the white house are making to the American Public is this has been a partisan process in the house of representatives controlled by demo. You continually hear them criticizing the process but not the actual facts of the case its very clear that there is an attempt to try and defend the president not on the merits of the arguments of whether or not he committed any wrongdoing but instead on the process which the publicans argue has been skewed for political purposes thank you for that Kimberly Harkat live for us at the white house now on to other world news on a boat carrying at least 150. 00 refugees and migrants. Mauritania at least 58 people have been killed most of them from the gambia doesnt swam to shore survivors are being treated in the northern mauritanian city of more deeble globally about 2600 migrants have died at sea so far this year according to the International Organization for migration and that number though is down compared to 2018.

Money. That may have comes with such as the leave. From this country be. Equal though because you are supporting the political and economical way. And there are more force to stop my ground. Forces.

That i was going to have you get what is it risky to leave from the gambia what are the risks associated with taking this particular route. The piece we see that. You can see is a really dangerous boat search and the journey from. Long it takes more then. Can you maintain that we read your time or. With that so many people in it so all these kind of. Lost their lives be so high that we had to have waited what was their last because there are not legal adequate saw each you arkansas here are glad to or. The level exactly. For protection yeah i was going to ask you that in fact what is driving of these desperate journeys and what would make a difference in preventing such tragedies is it at the local level or is it at the International Level you 1st of all i think. Youre gotten started collaborating with all of the current police. Because one of the main reason or so why. Cammarata p. S. N. Is. Under control of this. In a 2nd and the main goal of. An illegal act we respect the men who arrived illegally who are only these wait people who would not lie and not transfer the parts because the rants even see 3 such as we see in the last year thank you so much sara prestine for talking to us there from rome thank you for your time. One of the largest strikes in france has seen in a fantasy in more than a decade has brought Services Everywhere to a hold with schools closed transport disruptive and many government offices shut tens of thousands of people havent turned up to work and marches are happening right now all over the country the strikers are angry that president Emmanuel Mccoy is going ahead with plans to overhaul the Pension System they say theyll end up working longer and have less money in retirement. Is live in paris for a start to one of those marches i believe tell us how big the crowds on a tasha and what sort of destructions every scene today. Will there are thousands of people here in central paris theyve come to protest against the governments plans to reform the Pension System weve been speaking to some of them ive been speaking to one transport work you said that hes really worried that these reforms are me going to have to work much later in life more and that hes going to have is a his pension payouts reduce knots pretty much the sentiment across most people in this process youve got teachers noirs Health Workers as well as those transport is really people from all walks of life and that is because in france most people pay into a state pension into a public Pension Scheme and that is why people like you know i did it which is relatively unusual now the government says its necessary to reform the Pension System because its on wildey its inefficient and it costs too much or public money they also say its unequal and on fact there are many people who support the government on this one and there are of course the others here mainly many of them behind me who say that the governments plans are unfair now we spoke to people all sides and this is our. Nominee as passionate about his job producing bread and pastries in his bakery outside paris but after working for more than 40 years hes witty thing with 2 retiring he hopes the friend. Governments plans to reform the Pension System wont affect his future and he understands why so many people oppose them. The ideal would be defined 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 the manual marcos Campaign Promises 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 macros plans faced opposition from many sections of society including transport workers who threatened rolling strikes or objecting to the governments aim is very clear to contribute to the impoverishment of the pensioners of tomorrow who are today the employers who drive the economy of this country. This analyst says the president faces his biggest test yet. You think theres a risk that all the sectors joining in health from sports lawyers university then the government could full i dont think that we had that point yet but the government certainly cant back down because it would be a political failure. Macko has a ready past several controversial reforms and although he may feel called for dint of to surviving months of yellow vest protests social discontent still lingus. Because today the transport is not been working Public Public transport has been working properly schools shut universities courts have been affected and a whole spittles has been a major disruption for the public as you can imagine that is something that the governor would like to see end what we understand is that most people will go back to work tomorrow however the transport workers have said that theyre going to continue their strike and that will affect services at least for the next few days until monday. Natasha were looking at live pictures right now of what seems to be perhaps Security Forces firing some tear gas im not sure exactly what it is but a bit of a commotion going on at one of those protest sites in paris there any word on whether theres been any violence so far today. Well you know the police and protesters have clashed in the western city. And also in paris there were a few scuffles between the police and protesters thats not all so unusual at these protests in france i have to say because in each protest there are a group of people who often come in you perhaps saw the lines of the actual protests and so you dont necessarily have the same demands or causes that are it can cause trouble so thats what it looks like today it doesnt seem any different than in any of the other protest books from what we understand is most of the protests across the country have to be peaceful ok thank you very much for an attack i will keep a close eye on the events in paris with you of course throughout the evening here on aljazeera and theres plenty more ahead on this news hour including they rebuild their lives after years of war to see their homes washed away we have more in south sudans flux plus organizers of the tokyo 2020 lympics are feeling the heat after more events are rescheduled over health and safety concerns be to have the details in sports. This one of the most eagerly awaited stock rotations in history saudi arabia is publishing the initial share price of its National Oil Company aramco the announcement coincides with a meeting of the oil cartel opec in which saudi arabia is a key member but experts say the missing will be smaller than initially hoped and shares have been have a limited availability or speak to our engineer as osama bin job shortly in vienna but 1st heres a report from opec headquarters in austria scamp. Saudi aramco c. E. O. Called it a historic day when last month the Worlds Largest Oil Producing firm announced its listing on riyadhs to the exchange on thursday shares will be priced below the much hyped 2 trillion dollar price the saudis wanted but some Asset Managers say even at the lower price the companys overvalued analysts say theres been tension between the saudi governments valuation ambitions and what western investors are willing to pay initial estimates that were given by the saudi leadership hasnt been proven yet and so thats what i mean by taking the feedback going back and seeing if they can make those numbers work or not saudi arabia derives most of its money from oil exports and says it will use the income from its public listing to diversify its economy but a recent drone attack on 2 of its facilities the rebels in yemen said they carried out took out more than half of the kingdoms Oil Production and cause major concern among International Investors so far the stock listing is only available for saudis and nationals in the arab states of the g. C. C. And that too will be kept by the to the exchange saudi aramco is International Listing was the crown jewel of Prince Mohammed bin cell mans vision 2030 an ambitious project to take saudi arabia into the future without an over reliance on oil but since he announced it in 2017 the i. P. O. Or the initial Public Offering was delayed several times and transparency concerns a murky anticorruption drive against wealthy businesses the killing of saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi and other factors have not been helpful to achieving that vision. So far saudi aramco has refrained from listing on an International Stock exchange the company also canceled a road show intended to attract rest in an asian investors but there still said to be interest from russian and chinese investors. At the meeting of the Oil Producers bloc opec its likely that output cuts will remain in place to Keep Oil Prices steady nowadays as they can use it all in a new discoveries have been set out to cross the world we have a new alliance that we can call it of back and class that includes some of the countries that everyone knows like russia for example. And of course. The markets hate it if its all back or opec plus controlling their own production so limiting their volumes and allowing some other nations to grow production of course that in some way limits their market share and joins us now live from vienna your opec headquarters where ministers have started meeting what can we expect from countries like russia and saudi arabia have been campaigning for high oil prices. Well folly that is the case here h. Q. That weve been hearing the mood has changed in the last 24 hours from maintaining the level of cuts to deeper cuts to Oil Production this is by far the Largest Group which controls Oil Production across the globe and this is important because Oil Production and Oil Prices Touch every sector of the economy so it is going to be crucial in this meeting what they decide on how they want to forge ahead saudi arabia has been campaigning for deeper cuts it wants a Stable Oil Prices you heard in the arab poured on to Higher Oil Prices well so it could have a direct correlation with iran because i obviously the higher the price of oil the more lucrative the deal becomes but others including opec countries such as russia have agreed in principle but there are ways around exporting more and more oil not complying with what theyve agreed upon russia theres iraq there is no geria who opec nations are trying to bring back to the table and say they need to do more to make those cuts saudi arabia saying that they will do make more cuts but only if other countries continue to comply with the targets that they have set for them so it is going to be an interesting few hours where these ministers are going to knock heads and many with competing National Interests to what the opec cuts actually want. Thank you for that osama bin job headline forests in vienna.

Sidon south lebanon. Not to the iraqi capital baghdad where russia has become a front line between protesters and Security Forces and is no stranger to uprisings the buildings that lined the streets a story of revolts past and present simona felt and has a story.
