Tight security at this Kuala Lumpur ConventionCenter Organizers say Muslim Leaders meeting here are taking a new approach to handling the challenges facing the islamic world you have to start with problem and then vacation right well of the issues that need that inflate the film and come up with some solutions arent as to how to overcome them and not does talk but something concrete the leaders of 3 sunni nations malaysia turkey and qatar are leading this initiative and are joined by iranian president Hassan Rowhani high level delegations from indonesia and pakistan are also here but pakistani Prime Minister imran khan canceled the day before after visiting saudi arabia at the season made media reports the saudis are concerned the summit could lead to the creation of a rival muslim body to the saudi that organization of islamic cooperation i see the possibility that oh i see as it was envisioned 60 or 70 years ago may not be relevant for the future of the muslim world and this scale summit provides an opportunity to the Muslim Leadership coming from diverse backgrounds to deliberate more extensively on this question i think they really do mean theres nothing like that were not going to compete with anybody and in fact.

U. S. President donald trump has accused democrats of waging an open war on democracy a Congressional Committee has cleared the way for a historic pull of impeachment against the president in just a few hours time particle a looks at the case for and against removing trump from office. 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 ukraine 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 alexanders been men 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 midst 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 he was center to the plot and he said 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. Master 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 voted the vote out of the committee and 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 Public Opinion in pakistan is divided after former president Pervez Musharraf was sentenced to death in a treason case the 76 year old who lives in dubai was tried in his absence the case released to a state of emergency that he imposed back in 2007 has more on the reaction in islamabad and on president by that call and it is making headlines in all the major newspaper never before thats the morning mail the daily mail special. Daum from norway. And the nation. A stunning day. Pain and anguish now openly and. People are questioning as to haul a convicted Prime Minister. To go out of the country because. And that the same time a dead. For a man who critically and in a hospital in dubai we have been talking to the people on the streets to gauge Public Opinion on the. Other people committed crimes and run away but a dying man the sentence of death thats not fair. No society can function without the rule of law however the word high treason is unreasonable the government has also come out in favor of the military reservation as far as this particular war dictates. The viewpoint of this government is with everyone should get justice. Bordered on more short of. A war date that didnt accept to bring to the people but the opposition parties are hailing this and. Saying that no other military leader will be able to go or what your government. Its at least foreign minister has met rival leaders in the b f a talks aimed at ending fighting to capture the capital tripoli the u. N.

Reinforcements are heading to the front line for what could be the final battle for tripoli militia allied to the internationally recognized government moved heavy weapons and fighters sound to the outskirts of the town. We then had you brigade support forces are on our way to the capital tripoli we are on our way and god willing we will be victorious. After forces are also reinforcing their front lines each side has foreign help turkey has offered to send troops in support of the tripoli government will have to are has soldiers for hire and there are a 1000 new russian mercenaries deployed to tripoli according to 2 u. S. Officials and one source in moscow quoted in Bloomberg News sudanese in chad in mercenaries all assembling on the front lines for what theyre calling the final push so its increasingly likely that turkey will deploy something to help defend tripoli if needed by the jna with the threat of escalation looming italys foreign minister luigi did my own met with both sides on tuesday holding talks with fires also raj in tripoli and then with hoft are in the eastern city of rajma inviting him to room for further talks the u. N. Is calling for the to the rival governments and International Backers to agree to a political solution we continue to call for deescalation and for active support by all libyans and International Actors engaged in libya to find a peaceful and political solution to end the conflict and by addressing its underlying causes i think its important that the International Community as a whole rally around the efforts of the libyan people of course and also the efforts of the secretary generals. Rip. That if mr sowerby tried to find a political solution. To this conflict analysts say its becoming less and less about libya with International Actors pulling the strings and flooding the battlefield into chapelle aljazeera.

Joe dean is aviation and shipping manager of the European Federation for transport and environment but she doesnt think the plan is serious enough. 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 its less than one percent of the price that they pay for their fuel so we dont think its enough to encourage the industry to use cleaner fuels than the dirty ones that they use now and if we compare it back to europe and the price and the fuel that me that theyre using is actually 40. 00 times cheaper than the actual current price that we pay here for emitting as you know 2. 00 in europe so we think it wont be enough to change the industries behavior and the just the revenues generated will definitely be not enough to arrive to the target of reducing 50 percent of their emissions pope francis has announced that a secrecy policy will no longer apply to cases involving the sexual abuse of children in the past the Catholic Church kept sex abuse cases confidential saying it was to protect victims and the reputation of the accused it is a step forward in terms of transparency transparency for the victims and their families and transparency for traditional Legal Systems around the world which can now request the documentation from the ongoing trials.
