A war on democracy and then illegal partisan coup the u. S. President has again denounced the impeachment process against him and claimed he hasnt been allowed to participate the Democratic Party controlled house of representatives is expected to push ahead with impeachment one of votes later on wednesday heres our White House Correspondent kimberly. In advance of an expected vote to impeach the u. S. President in the house of representatives Donald Trumps land the case against him the whole impeachment thing is a hoax we look forward to getting on to the senate. Were not entitled to lawyers were not entitled to witnesses were not entitled to anything in the house its a total sham those oval office statements echoed the sentiments of a 6 page letter on official letterhead the tribes said to Democratic HouseSpeaker Nancy Pelosi accusing her of conducting an illegal partisan coup truck goes on to say by proceeding with your invalid impeachment you are violating your oath of office you are breaking your allegiance to the constitution and you are declaring open war on american democracy President Trump is expected to be impeached in the house on 2 articles use of power and obstruction of Congress Says he wrote his letter to the House Speaker to create a permanent record of his thoughts on the historic vote truck maintains he committed no wrongdoing when last july in a phone call he asked the ukrainian president for a favor to help on earth corruption involving his political rival former Vice President joe biden we must act with a sense of urgency to protect our democracy on capitol hill as democrats battled opposition republicans over the terms of the impending Impeachment Vote democrat defended their desire to impeach truong are arguing its the only way to preserve the integrity of the upcoming 2020 president ial vote given that an unrepentant president considers his behavior perfect. Given that he thinks the constitution empowers him to do whatever he wants given that he and his team are still awaiting president selenski statement about investigating joe biden we can only ask what the 2020 election will be like or indeed what any future election in america will be like if we just let this misconduct go but in his letter trump disputed democrats motives writing as you know very well this impeachment drive has nothing to do with ukraine or the totally appropriate conversation i had with its new president it only has to do with your attempt to undo the election of 2016 and steal the election of 2020 and despite efforts by the white house to block witness testimony during the impeachment inquiry trump has accused democrats of denying him due process likening his treatment to the salem witch trials of the 1600s where those falsely accused of witchcraft were executed its a message that seems geared to Trump Supporters a rallying cry trumps letter says could propel him to reelection kimberly healthy at aljazeera the white house. So after weeks of herrings Public Opinions on the impeachment is now splits and the gallagher reports from miami and florida a swing state that donald trump won in 2016 this is not impeachable the impeachment hearings into President Trumps dealings with ukraine began in november the hearings have times been dramatic revealing and deeply partisan places like grahams bar in miami though youre not likely to hit patrons talking about what many see as a political crisis its something owner adam ghost and doesnt shy away from he holds election watch parties here isnt afraid of heated debate but says most of lost Interest Despite his efforts theres not an aha moment where you suddenly say democracy its a long slog and youve got to stick with it and. My part in sticking with it is keeping people engaged and exposing them to whats actually happening exposure to the twists and turns of politics may not be as crucial and deeply republican or democratic states florida and especially its hispanic voters will be pivotal in the 2020 president ial election i guess i kind of hear but only like if he actually does get impeached but for the most part i make keeping up with until the voting occurs i have no power in the situation so i dont Pay Attention i dont care so hard to weed through all the information out there and it seems like people are in such different sides of it that its hard to at this point understand whats going on at least for myself as a 2020 president ial election looms the fight to sway Public Opinion appears to have wavered on lets say that could have implications for the democrats they claim that trump was a russian stooge who was going to destroy the country the miller investigation found out that wasnt true and sort of decimated those trump russia conspiracy theories and now people are left wondering is this just more partisan bickering voters remain divided in one camp of the other the Sunshine State though has a history of deciding the nations fate how people feel matters if florida does one thing consistently it tends to reflect the mood of the entire country for decades florida voters of back but winning president ial candidates and thats mostly because the demographics here make this a mini version of the United States so a collective shrug here could be seen as a fairly accurate reflection of the current mood on the gallacher Miami Florida well supporters of trumps impeachment have been making their voices heard well then 500. 00 demonstrations were held in u. S. Cities and towns they were organized under the banner nobody is above the law. Or was it one rally in new york and he spoke to demonstrators about why they want to see impeached. Thousands. People on the streets of new york city marking through the heart of the city and theyre chanting things like lock him up lock him up in each room everybody here is a message they not only want donald trump impeached but they want him removed from office where you hear today im here because no one is above the law its the night before theyre going to vote on the impeachment articles and i think trump has got to now the whole swamp has got to now were nation of lies here founded on for examples of freedom theyre being violated right and left because we have a criminal posing as a president whos broken broken rules of the constitution that is a message from everyone here and its a pretty diverse crowd of people too young older people middle aged it shouldnt be much of a surprise that new york city is Donald Trumps home but its also very liberal and progressive city Hillary Clinton but that more than 2500000 more votes than donald trump did here so this is why youre seeing so many people taking to the streets here in new york with a message to impeach trump one of president obamas former Campaign Advisers is going to prison for conspiracy against the United States and lying to the f.

This is a Military Hospital full of celebrations to Mark Scheerer street. But for the soldiers taking part its a particularly difficult time. Last week fighters are allied with ice and crossed the border from mali and killed 7 to one of their colleagues. Security conditions are deteriorating on the border with mali terrorists are attacking Common People and mostly tribal leaders kidnapping in executing them terrorist target Army Personnel with explosives. The border between mali stretches for hundreds of kilometers to long to be protected by the understaffed and ill equipped armies in the region. Say its a situation exploited repeatedly by armed groups with devastating results on one of the poorest countries in the world. Insecurity always has a heavy mental toll this is part perpetrators of a metaphor they know that a skilled person cannot be productive and thats why education is their prime target. The u. S.

A magazine has been announced in the car industry fear chrysler and French Company p. S. A. Owners of have announced a 34000000000. 00 merger economists say the merger would create the worlds 4th largest carmaker and both companies have a certain stockholders that no plant closures will come from the move to bring in our desire as economics editor joining us for more on this story to talk to us about what youre learning about the circumstances that led to this and whats behind the merger well i think the biggest elephant in the room is the fact that were seeing the end of the Combustion Engine as we know it and carmakers really need to spend more money on electrifying their brands and to do that its a very expensive job if you consider the german automotive because alone theyre spending between 45000000000. 00 between them on working on projects at this very moment now to do this both companies are decides to come together and pool their resources not only just on the electrification but also the platforms now its easier if you have 5 or 6 different brands like. Which has the audi and porsche brands they can use the same engines they can use the same components and they can reduce the costs now the very interesting thing here is that both companies are saying look were going to say 4100000000. 00 in this process but we dont really understand how apart from the from the use of the similar components that across all the brands because the biggest cost savings will come from job losses but both companies are saying look there wont be any job losses and this will really need to see whether this really comes true over the next few days that weve next few years so. Friday chrysler will meet italian unions and the french unions have yet to pass any sense of whats going on with this particular deal although all although in the past. Sorry p. S. A. Has bought the g. M. Brand and has integrated into its portfolio and made a huge success out of the brand and it will be interesting to see if theyll actually manage to get this done because according to reports the merger is expected to be completed within 12 to 15 months thats correct so one of the biggest sticking points to this deal was the fact that theres a Chinese Company which own 12. 2 percent of p. S. A. Now theyve agreed to reduce their holding to 4. 5 percent which means that the deal will most likely get through the u. S. Were saying you know if that if that stake is not reduced theres a real possibility that this deal will not go through so thats been done now the other thing is that both both carmakers are very strong and different. Chrysler for instance is very strong in the u. S. Its not very strong a brand in europe and so they hope in that survey can use the leverage the p. S. A. To sell their cars and similarly p. S. A. Which makes persia doesnt have to have a presence in the u. S. Market so theyre hoping that they can sell more cars in the u. S.

Rallied again in new delhi after indias top 4 postponed hearings on a controversial new citizenship law until january its as it needs more details from the government. Italys foreign minister has met libyas rebel leaders in a bid to stop the conflict tripoli the visit coincides with a surge in fighting between Government Forces and those loyal to warlords after. The u. S. President donald trump has accused democrats of waging an open war on democracy. Committee has cleared the way for historic vote off impeachment against the president in just a few hours time before getting to that vote lets look at how we got here how to looks back at the case for and against the president s impeachment. It all began to unravel when the us president picked up his phone in july a call to the president of ukraine what was said anough for a whistleblower to file a complaint that made it to congress the allegation was that trump was Holding Hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid meant for your brain which was fighting off russian aggression intil the ukrainian president promised to investigate trumps potential political rival former u. S. Vice President Joe Biden and his son hunter who had worked in ukraine in damage control mode the white house released notes from the call it did more damage because as the notes point out as the ukrainian president is promising to buy more u. S. Missiles trump responds i would like you to do us a favor though he goes on to ask for investigations into a debate Conspiracy Theory about the election and later brings up the bidens the president must be held accountable no one is above the law thats when democrats announced an impeachment inquiry would begin the white house refused to cooperate but several career diplomats came forward anyway they testified under oath that it all really happened colonel Alexander Vin min listen to the call and later reported it to white house lawyers it was improper for the president of the United States to demand a Foreign Government investigate a u. S. Citizen and a political opponent the former u. S. Ambassador to ukraine testified that she was removed from her position because she wanted to fight corruption so the president s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani pushed to get her removed and our anticorruption efforts got in the way of a desire for profit or power ukrainians who prefer to play by the old corrupt rules sought to remove me what continues to amaze me. Is that they found americans willing to partner with them and working together they apparently succeeded in orchestrating the removal of a u. S. Ambassador others described a small group of people chosen by the president as running a kind of shadow back channel u. S. Policy in ukraine missed it became clear to me that giulianis efforts to gin up politically motivated investigations were now infecting u. S. Engagement with ukraine leveraging president selenski desire for a white house meeting to withhold that systems for no good reason other than help with the Political Campaign made no sense it was it was counterproductive to all of what we had been trying to do. It was illogical it could not be explained it was crazy trumped meeting was going to happen and then came the surprising testimony from ambassador Gordon Sunland who changed his testimony from what he 1st told congress was there a quid pro quo as i testified previously with regard to the requested white house call and the white house meeting the answer is yes someone was a donor to the president s inauguration rewarded with an ambassadorship to the European Union and he was center to the plot and he said that everyone was in a suggestion that we were engaged in some irregular or rogue diplomacy is absolutely false the leadership of the state department the National Security council and the white house were all informed about the ukraine efforts and another state Department Official testified he heard some one on the phone with the president during the luncheon baster silence said he was going to call President Trump to give an update master stalin placed a call on his mobile phone i heard of announce himself several times along the lines of courting song and holding for the president ive entered president from ask so hes going to do the investigation. Basser song replied that he is going to do it adding a president selenski will do anything you ask him to do with that democrats say theyve made the case for 2 counts of impeachment one for abuse of power the 2nd for obstruction of congress. The vote out of the Committee Split down party lines with republicans launching very defenses 2 key facts have not changed that are critical to these impeachment proceedings one ukraine in fact received the aid and 2 there was no investigation into the bidens i have never in my entire life seen such an unfair rigged railroad job against the president of the United States and threw it on the president remained defiant its a witch hunt its a sham its a hoax a slight majority of americans polled actually support impeachment and removal but not by much and as of now the vote is expected to be partisan which would leave trump in office that could change of Public Opinion does during the trial setting up a high stakes gamble that will impact the president the country and the world. Aljazeera washington. Ship owners facing pressure to drastically reduce Carbon Emissions from socalled dirty fuel are proposing a 5000000000. 00 Research Fund to help so how would it work with shipping associations plan a mandatory tax for 2. 00 per tonne of fuel burned that would be spent on developing cleaner technologies such as low emission fuels and cleaner engine designs the shipping industry is blamed for 2. 2 percent of c o 2 emissions worldwide the United Nations wants a 50 percent reduction by 2015 lets speak to joe dench shes an aviation and shipping manager at the European Federation for transport and environment joining us via skype from brussels hi thanks for joining us on the aljazeera news hours so what do you make of this proposal by the shipping industry is it a step in the right direction to get down to 0 carbon for the shipping industry as a whole. So thanks. Thanks for having us so the the fuel levy that theyre proposing is in effect a drop in the ocean and its actually worse than that its actually a distraction from our point of view if you look at the actual a few livi that theyre proposing and its less than one percent of the price that they pay for their fuel and so we dont think its enough to encourage the industry to use cleaner fuels and the dirty ones that they use now and if we compare it back to europe and the prize and the fuel let me that theyre using is actually 40 times cheaper than the actual current price that we pay shear for anything c o 2 in europe so we think it wont be enough to change the industries behavior and the revenues generated will definitely be not enough to arrive to the target that reducing 50 percent of their emissions but surely this must be a positive step but albeit according to what youre saying perhaps too small of a step but it is a step in the right direction is it not because the shipping industry according to greenpeace organizations like greenpeace has slipped under the radar of International Climate action for for way too long so this kind of puts the spotlight on that industry does it not drugs are that are you still with us all right apologies we seem to have our last hour of our skype connection with our guests from brussels well move on and well tell you about a new inquest that has begun in london to determine whether air pollution contributed to the death of a schoolgirl 9 year old kissing deborah suffered a fatal asthma attack 6 years ago families lawyers argue britains government may have failed in its duty to prevent her death just kobold reports.
