A race against time to banks today. After a Measles Outbreak killed more than 60 people. The u. S. President has hit out at House Democrats as they draw out formal impeachment charges against him donald trump tweeted they are trying to impeach him over what he called nothing the pressure is increasing on trump as democrats move towards an Impeachment Vote in the house before Christmas Heidi jocasta reports from washington d. C. Its official me that was confidence and humility with allegiance to our founders and effects of love for America Today i am asking our chairmen to proceed with impeachment. Donald trump will become the 4th president in u. S. History to face formal impeachment charges that could remove him from office the facts are uncontested the president abused his power for his own personal political benefit at the expense of our National Security by withholding military aid and crucial Oval Office Meeting in exchange for an announcement of an investigation into his political rival the white house says democrats are abusing their power and lying to the American People are you referring to the right of a patient might have on your legacy not the president its a hoax and some big fat 0 x. Now with the big question in washington is what these articles of impeachment will be a report by the House Intelligence Committee makes a case for abuse of power and of struction of congress stemming from the ukraine investigation but then there are still those lingering concerns from the earlier russia investigation. In july special counsel Robert Muller told congress that while there was no evidence trump had colluded with russia to win the 2016 election there may be grounds that he obstructed justice and what about total exoneration if you actually totally exonerate the pres you know the mullers appearance had little impact and the very next day trump told the president of ukraine over the phone that muller had quote a poor performance then according to the call transcript trump asked for an investigation into his political rival constitutional scholars called by democrats have testified that trumps impeachable offenses go beyond the ukraine phone call call i think the way you need to ask about this is how does it fit into the pattern of behavior by the president republicans counter democrats have been trying to remove trump since the day he took office theyve always wanted to impeach the president. Watch him at their words watch him at their actions watching what they have done the democratic majority in the house will likely vote to impeach trent before christmas then the senate dominated by the president s own party will put trump state on trial in the new year hide your castro aljazeera washington. Indian police shot dead 4 men suspected of raping and killing a veterinarian in hyderabad in a case thats reignited nationwide protests over attacks on women they were taken to the crime scene as part of the Investigation Police say they tried to escape and was shot. I. Pads in hyderabad welcome the killings though hundreds of people gathered at the crime scene and chanted long live the police the victims family have also thanked offices. Where id like to thinking congratulate the telling god the Government Police and all those who supported me my daughters so now his pillows and i feel they have to live and i think this will be an example and nobody will even think of doing it. Is in new delhi she says this latest rape cases sparked debate in india. The possibly is wide scale acceptance and support for such form of retribution of justice but then of course there are also many lawyers and human rights activists to reason questions are saying that in such a case there is no due process of law thats followed and were supposed to believe what the police says that these are the accused and then accept that they have been killed so this sort of perpetrates the cycle of violence more they say why this is a legal problem it is also a societal problem it is a problem because patriarchy continues to be the dominant norm in india and that has to be questioned there are people who are also saying that this that rhetoric retribution justice even Capital Punishment legal Capital Punishment has not worked out to be a deterrent so while politicians will say that with this should be a lynch while there would be some people who would support such encounters as well including osho by the way the family of the girl who was raped back in december 2012 afterwards there were many protests including them there are a significant number of people who are questioning this and saying law should be followed me here is a Supreme Court lawyer and academic specializing in gender equality she says the public dont believe the police story. I think the police were under a lot of pressure to cover up firstly their own lapses in this case we all know that you know when the when the girls the victims sister 1st approached the police saying that my sister has gone missing the police and are running from pillar to post at that time they could have perhaps even saved her life and there was a lot of anger and outrage towards the police when this 1st happened when this incident 1st happened so i think the police were under a lot of pressure to show that they had taken some stringent action there were mobs outside the Police Station every day. And demanding some kind of quick fix justice in this case and i think they decided that this was this was the easy way out. We remember when the young woman was rapes gang rapes on a bus there was a lot of anger understandably of course and there was a lot of talk in the aftermath of that the police doing their jobs properly the Investigative Police doing their jobs properly the court system doing its job properly whats gone wrong if anything has gone wrong with that overlap between the crime how society reacts to it in india how the police do their job and how the judiciary then follows through on the legal cases i think fundamentally there is a disconnect i mean of course to start with there are still huge lapses in investigation the judicial process is still very slow despite a slew of reforms and that does lead to a lot of innovations but theres also a disconnect between what ordinary lives understand as justice and what the legal system dispenses as justice and i think theres a theres a lack of understanding that these things do take time and that doesnt necessarily mean that justice is not even to you going to be done theres an impatience with the system that is just boiling over. In algeria widespread protests are taking place ahead of president ial elections scheduled next week protesters say all 5 candidates in the december 12th election have links to former president of the lizzies beautifully he was forced out by mass protests in april demonstrators and demanding a complete change in the political classes before any vote takes place is if one though is a professor of Political Science and International Relations at cathay university he says the elections have been provided as a bandaid solution all the candidates without an exceptions. Of the put for the cause. And obviously over the last 40 weeks or so algerians have been the most late into the to put to bring the 2 regime in place you dont julia and obviously do the elections are simply a smokescreen for the continuation of losing politically cause it is no difference whatsoever i dont think there will be an opening of the political system what is happening in the moment is some sort of inertia it gives the impression that something is happening that so many multiple to you in the system exists poor little is eventually elections will take place next to the and so on and so forth but in reality not in the changes but whats happening in all julia is. The sort of controls where you couldnt illusion it was going to stay and change and good for the person would not change. The nature of the. Political system but exists over the last all that has been exuded existence over the last 6 decades is independence in 162 greece is expelling libyas ambassador in athens after libya signed a maritime deal with turkey that sets out new boundaries in the Eastern Mediterranean sea which greece says are illegal greek relations with turkey are tense because of the territorial dispute over oil and gas drilling around the island of cyprus. John psaropoulos has the latest from athens. The reason for greek displeasure at libya is that the Libyan Government had given the greek government assurances that it was not concluding such an agreement with turkey it was known that these talks were going on the greeks were concerned but can the the off the record discussions that the Foreign Ministers had had and that the ambassador had had with counterparts here was that this wasnt really a realistic prospect so this has taken the greek side by surprise and they believe that a certain amount of trickery on the libyan part. Now the reason that the greeks are just pleased is that the legal reason is that the turkish libyan areas of sovereignty in the greek you should not touch because greece lies between them greece says that according to the International Law of the sea its Southern Region islands should have a Continental Shelf that comes between the Continental Shelf of turkey and that of libya so the that is why the greek side says this agreement is legal it says that we condemn it without reservation it is a wrong violation of the law of the sea.

Frances facing a 2nd day of disruption as hundreds of thousands of a planned Pension Reforms its the biggest mass strike in over 2 decades. Is live for us in paris so natasha the biggest strike in 2 decades what does that situation look like. Well to be honest theres not quite as bad today as it was on thursday that was the 1st day of the strike most people who are actually on strike on thursday have gone back to work today but theres still widespread disruption in terms of public transport with most of the well at least a 3rd only about a 3rd of Train Services are actually running many of the metro lines in paris still not running its the same for buses and trams still disruption of course of the airport because theres a real backlog of flights many people who tried to leave yesterday had their flights cancelled im standing on one of the main train stations in paris and yesterday theres nobody here because there were no trains at all today you can see some people behind me because they know they are able to get around a little bit more easily now transport workers especially rail workers feel that they have perhaps the most to lose in a way from the governments Pension Reforms that theyre planning because what they have had for years the rail workers a special benefits within their pension some of them can for example retire much earlier than other people so they are really adamant that they want to continue protesting for several days and in fact some of the trade unions have even called for another strike next tuesday but as i said its not only well workers that have been very upset by the governments plans to reform the Pension System but people really from all across french society. There were people from all walks of french life teaches students and lawyers joint transport and Health Workers in central paris part of a nationwide strike protesting against the governments plans to reform the Pension System they fear the changes would force them to work for more years and reduce their payouts if were here to try and preserve our Pension System which is one of the best in europe and we dont want to go backwards microns reforms are destroying french society. It looks like well have to retire even later but well have even less money in our pension so the demonstration was mainly peaceful but there was some clashes between police and socalled black bloke and his protesters i. Think more than 6000. 00 Police Officers were deployed in the city this police Union Spokesperson said many of them would have wanted to join the strike a lot of them wanted to come. We had the day off today that was a load and also we do not have the right rooms like so. Yes its difficult for force the strike caused major disruption across the city there was little public transport and most schools were shot even the eiffel tower was forced to close the french president says the Pension System needs to be streamlined to make it fairer and safe public money the strike saw a major test for emanuel mycroft because he made reforming the Pension System one of his Campaign Promises so we think gives in to the protesters and scott says reform it will be a political failure the so far the french president is showing no sign of backing down this analyst says macro has a track record of controversial reforms since the beginning of its mandate the government has passed several reforms that many would have believed would be almost impossible but they managed to push them through despite the challenge. Isnt risky. Macro may not want to make concessions but if the disruption continues he may have to rethink although most people are expected to return to work this week some transport workers say they wont give up their fight and will continue to strike. But opinion polls suggest that many people in frogs do support these strikes for now but they also believe that the system the Pension System does need to change and doesnt need to be modernized and in fact thats whats amount of money will perhaps be counting on when the government reveals the details of his pension reform plans early next week. All right thanks so much on tosh. Security forces in iraq are bracing for another wave of friday protests the 1st since the Prime Minister resigned Iraqs Parliament has passed a bill to reform its Electoral Commission but protesters are demanding for the change those jabari reports from bank that i chanting psystar new york the leader of the revolution they made their way to turkey or square i a chance refer to grand ayatollah Ali Al Sistani this shia leader who blames the government and Security Forces for the deaths of demonstrators the protesters came from various other parts of baghdad but their message is the same as others who come here every day i dont know. We demand an end to the system we dont want to see still committed a nation of the Prime Minister is not enough we want to resignation of all of mark or by living. We want the straight him to step down we dont want any promises from any of these political blocs at least 430 iraqis have been killed in 9 weeks of antigovernment protests among the demands of protesters more jobs less corruption you elections and changes to the electoral laws and the constitution there overall to give the Government Force Prime Minister i dont often make these who resigned is now urging the parliament to fulfill its duties were not from. The moment were in the middle of an unprecedented situation but i think the legal and constitutional understanding of the situation is clear we understand the problems of our country and we hope the political powers will nominate and choose an alternative Prime Minister as soon as possible. But the political process in iraq is complicated by sectarian interests a major issue for many here they want more sane choosing their political leaders this is a makeshift memorial built to remember the protesters who were killed here but as the political wrangling continues behind the scenes many here say that they hope the protesters didnt die in vain but rather so that all iraqis can have a Better Future dorsetshire pari al jazeera baghdad. Saudi arabia state owned oil company says its share sale will be the biggest Public Offering in history saudi aramco is set to take in 25600000000. 00 for 3000000000. 00 of its shares that will surpass the previous record set by chinese online giant barber in 2014 but it still falls short of saudi arabias original targets are just there is economics editor with alli has been following the story he says the saudi government has refused to budge on the companys valuation. Lets have a look at this 2016 mohammed bin sun man said you know i want to re i want to i want a company which is going to be worth 2 trillion dollars well he didnt get that he wanted to raise 100000000000. 00 he didnt get that and he wanted International Investors to buy into the company and he didnt get that but what you do have is a 1. 00 trillion Dollar Company he raised 25600000000 is still going to be the biggest i. P. O. In history so there is some success there but the reason why International Investors werent interested in buying into the company because they didnt see the same value that the saudis did they thought the company was worth between 1 point one trillion and 1. 5 trillion now the saudis wouldnt budge on that price the international vestas want to budge on the price that they saw that this was a fair value and so they decided not to invest and so the saudis went out and said ok well well sell this company to. 2 people inside arabia as well as the g. C. C. Now theyre going to make sure that this is assessed not only only to save face but to make sure that those small investors who are coming on board werent be underwater when this company floats later on in the month because youve got to remember that these small investors have taken out huge loans just to invest in the aramco. Boris Johnsons Conservative Party remains ahead in the polling but the Opposition Labor Party believes theres a possibility of unseating him in the next weeks elections the u. K. Prime minister was nowhere to be seen as a Campaign Event in his own constituency on thursday fancy reports. Here it is democracy in action voters queuing in the cold and dark to hear what their would be member of parliament has to say problem is someones missing. They were used to for us not to carry much aspirations. At the previous election he turned out for about 3 photo shoots or Something Like that had his photograph taken and then off he went again. Among the most irritated worthy environmental activists campaigning against the proposed massive expansion of Heathrow Airport just down the road johnson had promised to support them years ago but now i dont know id like to know why he has gone against the pledge he made in 2015 all seemingly thats what the manifesto is seeming to say when he actually could call the government for review right now and have him pace vote on it again. All through the campaign johnsons team have limited his appearances limited his ability to make mistakes and his dog debates with other policy leaders but not turning up to the only Campaign Event in your own constituency to the voters is Something Else again particularly when success isnt guaranteed. The constituency is an urban sprawl west of london rough around the edges and down on its luck Boris Johnsons majority is small enough that even as Prime Minister a win here isnt a given but secularly since there are a large number of students at the local university likely to support the label opposition as well as that there is much criticism of johnsons refusal to fully participate in this election. I think in the way it presents something of a crisis in british politics if someone a senior is a Prime Minister refuses to take part in what is normal Democratic Convention now of course debates are a recent thing but interviews with senior journalists are not only the extent to which he seems to be dodging these would seem to present a problem in the longer term in the end johnsons place at the table was offered to independent candidates a comedy acts called counts been face he joined the other more serious politicians to discuss the airport expansion and Everything Else to a whole half empty because the most important politician come it all felt completely surreal what johnson has in his favor is that people seem to like having a Prime Minister as their local m. P. And as well as that this constituency voted for it and so johnson is their main cheerleader further than that though his plans for his constituency things like the airport will not be revealed before next weeks election Lawrence Lee Al jazeera usually. Take a look at the candidates and boss johnsons constituency there are a total of 12 people vying for that seat. In south has become one of the most high profile contests of the election in 2016 it was one of only 4 london bars to leave more than 20000 people and some have been vaccinated for measles in 2 days medical teams are going door to door attempting to hope the outbreak which has killed at least 60 people in 2 months but as jessica washington reports from the samoan capital appear many say the Immunization Initiative is too late.

Some more has been in lockdown with businesses and most Government Services shot and cars banned for the past few days to make it easier for medics to reach as many families as possible at administering vaccines the outbreak isnt over but the government says the success of the mass vaccination programs means its unlikely a total shutdown will be needed again however its recognised things wont just suddenly get back to normal and the emotional toll from the loss of young lives will remain in a country like china with a an extended system of that. 80 culture that everybody. So that no one should be left. Without help the poor family visit the graves of their loved ones every day it will take time for this family and the nation to recover jessica washington al jazeera.
