For you banned from sport for doping offenses president Vladimir Putin says the sanctions are unfair and politically motivated. But we begin this hour with breaking news out of libya where the u. N. Recognized government says it will accept an offer of military support from taki the tripoli based administration is fighting an offensive by the world can be for have to his forces are trying to capture the capital schools in the Southern District of. An intra party has now been closed with r. T. Say its because of sporadic fighting and shelling by have forces well we have reporters in 3 countries crucial to this story sebastian is standing by moscow monitor joe is in istanbul but 1st lets go to Mark Whitacre wahid whos in tripoli enough would have to began this offensive back in april but fighting seems to have escalated in recent weeks whats the situation like there on the ground at the moment. Well the situation. Is still bleak on the ground as fighting has not stopped in southern tripoli between half that us forces who are trying to see the capital tripoli on the one hand and forces that we have to with their d. N. A. And back to government of National Court and on the other hand fighting has recently excessive abated and its civilians in density Populated Areas neighborhoods near near the fighting gaiters like insular he dean and also in the neighborhood. Say that random rockets sometimes land in their densely Populated Areas and in many cases over the past 8 months many civilians including women and children were either killed or wounded by either random rockets or airstrikes by fighter jets loyal to the warlord Khalifa Haftar that is no ceasefire in place until at least until this moment and both rival or warring factions are sending gree enforcements to the battlefield which means that there is no at least for the time being there is no ceasefire until now and meanwhile government Officials Say that they are now activating their true of their agreement of the memorandum of understanding that was seized with the last month to send. Weapons specially advanced weapons to libya and now this meeting today is very crucial by the d. N. A. The government of National Court officials who met with their commanders military commanders with a government of National Accord. Commanding the battle field on the ground and they have decided today to start activating their agreement and demanded weapons to be sent to tripoli this area. Half the forces have been recruiting good russian mercenaries along with sudanese and charity and also mercenaries from chad and also they have been supported by advanced weapons from egypt United Arab Emirates and russia so this kind of agreement between the d. N. A. And turkey as the government sources say is a kind of reaction to the russian and other foreign intervention in libya mr smart and i believe i headed there for us in tripoli well not what was just talking about weapons from taki and lets go to manager joe who is in istanbul mo how much support can the libyans expect from turkey are we talking Ground Troops weapons monetary support. Well turkish president. Is very clear turkey is already under willing to all the government of National Accord in tripoli us watch help it needs and boots on the ground if they come up with a formal request to. Something arms is one thing and troops is a different monster altogether it takes a whole paulson right now the military called pollution agreements signed between turkey and libya is going through the formalities of getting. Approved by parliament its supposed to come up for a vote only once they go the more of the Foreign Affairs committee of Parliament Just this week and even after a lot happens and that agreement is ratified by a parliament then the government of National Accord i was once again go to send a formal request for the deployment of turkish troops on the haass to go back to parliament so that the troops can get not only the approval but also among the. 4 for what they will be doing exactly in libya once theyre deployed monitor there for us in istanbul with the latest thank you mara well libyas been in conflict since the overthrow of monograph it back in 2011 and divided between 2 rival governments and troops loyal to them the un recognizes the government of National Accord in tripoli its supported by taki and many western powers including is which fear the fighting man tripoli could force more people to cross the mediterranean and the east it is the to break based government the center of power for war Khalifa Haftar and his forces hes backed by saudi arabia egypt and the United Arab Emirates oh. So fronts is accused of providing some military support and russian snipers have teamed up with theft as troops move such a good idea but i see a movement that. We russia are in permanent contact with mr fi os also raj is government and with Khalifa Haftar we continuously communicate with our partners including those in turkey and in europe in our opinion the best solution would be to find a compromise between the 2 sides of the conflict which allows them to stop fighting and agree on who how and under what authority they will govern the country. Well lets go to step. Step we know that russia has been providing support to have to us forces but now this seemingly trying to play peacemaker. Yes a very different tone here from of letting it put in during this very lengthy press conference where he exactly is for train himself as a peacemaker he has been on the phone with all the european leaders with merkel and well markand to discuss the solution and libya and hes also been discussing this visit by the turkish delegation in next coming days to find this dialogue and the solution for the conflict in libya but interestingly just a couple of days ago during the ministry of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman spreads conference she made quite clear that this turkish. Initiative to send troops doesnt really go down very well here in moscow and she said that this decision any Security Cooperation between turkey and libya would basically disrupt a possible meeting in this month to find a solution on the libyan conflict in berlin and also putin spokesman earlier this week also sat that he will discuss this very urgent issue with the one put in an earlier one well discuss this issue during a meeting which is scheduled for december for sorry for january 8th in istanbul so basically these steps by turkey are making things for russia in libya pretty complicated right now this is a story well continue to follow very closely step back from there for us in moscow thank you stepped. Well lets go to other news now and police in india have detained hundreds of people across the country for defying a protest against in your citizenship hill internet and my about services have been blocked in parts of the capital new delhi the controversial no off as a path to citizenship for persecuted minorities from neighboring countries but it excludes muslims so how raman reports they marched in the thousands across india in the capital with placards in hand they denounced the government and its new citizenship law i it was peaceful here a Civil Society leaders politicians academics and people congregated at the historic red fort near the muslim quarter of the city was a confrontation with the police it was inevitable that it was the was just going for control of the situation has been a daily battle for police and Civil Society says the law was passed nearly a week ago was. 6 that there was a heavy security presence backed up by riot control personnel this demonstrator is clear about why hes here.

To hold robert aljazeera you delhi. On theres plenty more ahead on the news hour including after the conservative victory in the u. K. We travel to a traditional labor stronghold to find out what swung the lawyers. In the sudan uprising one year on we look at whats changed on the ground since the removal of the al bashir. And protesters clashed with Police Outside barcelonas el classico match against real madrid peace ever have more. Now the u. S. House of representatives has impeached President Donald Trump democrats have a majority in the house and challenge trunk with abusing his power as well as obstructing congress in its investigation but speaking on simple as he has for uncertainty on to the next steps by refusing to say when shell send the articles to the senate. We know we were make our decision as to when was when we see on the senate but thats a decision that we will make sure yes. Im not heard. That would have been our intention but well see what happens over there i said where u. S. Senate tonight because its difficult to determine who the managers will be until we see the arena in which we will be protests attaining all that followed i missed 8 hours of he said debate between the parties on whether the president had violated the constitution chunks Republican Party rallied together and sustained hes done nothing wrong democrats have delivered 2 week articles of impeachment abuse of power not according to the ukraine president lewinsky confirm many times that there was no quid pro quo no action taken and significant military aid was delivered without anything in return of course his words have been conveniently dismissed obstruction of congress is this the new standard if this is the new stand then every president since jimmy carter and every president moving forward would and will be impeached. Even as he was being impeached trump was defiant addressing his supporters in michigan he dismissed the democrats impeachment effort as illegal and as a disgrace i just said to the 1st lady youre so lucky i took you in this fantastic chair. Its so much fun they want to teach you they want to do worse than that by the way by the way. By the way it doesnt really feel like were being impeached. The country is doing better than ever before we did nothing. Well in just the past few minutes the top u. S. Senate republican leader Mitch Mcconnell denounced what he called an unfair house impeachment of president on. The opposition to impeachment was bipartisan only one part of one faction wanted this outcome the houses conduct risk deeply damaging the institutions of American Government this particular house of representatives has led its partisan rage at this particular president great a toxic new president that will echo well into the future. Well lets bring in mike hanna whos on capitol hill for us mike i want to read a tweet that Donald Trumps been putting out in just the last few alice and he said 100 percent republican vote thats what people are talking about the republicans are united like never before and i know this is the 1st time i can in history that the impeachment of a president featured no votes from the minority parties and the Republican Party in the house and this was a statement in their voters about unity is not just anything. But indeed yes i must point out as well that President Trump has tweeted some 30 times in the past 2 hours so clearly this is something that continues to make him absolutely furious despite his comments there the really saying that oh i dont feel like im being impeached certainly his reaction on twitter indicates that hes very aware about it and very very angry we heard that Mitch Mcconnell ripped the 2 to a partisan rage sweeping through the house now he has just finished his talk of some 30 minutes on the senate floor he used the term partisan rage on a number of occasions that his frust is that its a minority who are arguing for impeachment that this is based not on the evidence that has been presented to the house but on what democrats feel about President Trump hes insisting this very strongly on the democrat side they are saying well if the evidence that weve heard in the house is not complete then lets just call witnesses in the senate trial who can flesh out the evidence and give us more clarity witnesses that we have subpoenaed which the white house has refused to allow to appear Mitch Mcconnell now insists that there will be no added witnesses he wants the senate trial to go as quickly as possible d the democrats are saying very clearly that they are holding back those articles of impeachment until they are very clear about how the senate trial is going to play out its the last bit of leverage to try and force mcconnell to introduce those with. Answers that they want to hear including the former secretary of state so here even though the impeachment has been passed we are now still in this political partisan battle to see how it plays out in the weeks ahead mike we expect to hear i believe from nancy pelosi very shortly whats going through her mind today whats going through her mind is exactly how to play this out the idea to hold back the articles of impeachment from going to the senate is something that has only emerged in the last few days and had to merge from a number of senior democrats who said this is our point of leverage that weve got to use to force the senate into accepting the position that weve got to hear all the evidence weve got to hear from the former National Security adviser weve got to hear from President Trumps acting chief of staff weve got to hear from people that we wanted to hear during the intelligence hearings in the house now Mitch Mcconnell is saying no democrats are saying to the House Speaker well weve got to hold back and to we keep the maximum amount of pressure on the republican star incidentally on the question of witnesses and Mitch Mcconnell himself 20 years ago in the impeachment of bill clinton insisted very strongly that there should be witnesses and in fact that witnesses are part of a normal as he puts it impeachment procedure 2 decades later hes saying no there is no need for witnesses its a complete somersault a complete turnaround and democrats are picking on this as well to insists that the Senate Majority leader is taking his cue from the white house he has said this directly that he will take his cue from white House Counsel in terms of how to deal with this in effect what he is doing is being both the jury and the accused at the same time and these are points that the brit democrats are going to be arguing very strongly about in days here mike hanna there for us on capitol hill thank you mike. Well to lebanon now where the party of caretaker Prime Minister saad hariri is refusing to nominate any other candidate to be his successor the president is holding formal consultations with politicians to decide the next leader harry resigned in october after weeks of antigovernment demonstrations and says he is not in the running now people have been protesting against corruption and sectarian and the sectarian political system well lets take a closer look at the division among the other lebanese parties the hezbollah led alliance is putting forward a candidate by the name of her son dia he is a University Professor and a former Education Minister there is one other candidate who has been chosen by some of the smaller groups including the Progressive Socialist Party and thats now off salon now the president can nominate a candidate even if half the parliamentary blocs havent put forward any names for the position. Well for more on this lets bring in tony betty who is live for us in beirut tony were looking at what seems to be a domestic political crisis but lebanons had a long history of foreign powers getting involved in regional politics so right now how much influence are external powers wielding here when it comes to this political stalemate and. I think to be working quite hard because as you Say International influences played a great part in what happens what has happened to lebanon in the last 3040 years its outside fighting their battles on lebanese soil now the concern is that if this is not to be a shiite versus sunni you want to go outside powers exerting their power within lebanon to get something done and that will cause a reaction of course youve got iran youve got israel youve got United States all of them have interests here and its very important to see who the candidate will be that is why a lot of people are focusing on mr dia and its interesting to note that the saudi bloc the major sunny bloc here is not nominating anybody this nomination for mr d. I was coming slowly from the. Hezbollah alliance and that is now turning to people while he is hezbollah so youre having this division and a square off now between the various sides what will happen i dont know the still another 29. 00 votes to be cast at the moment mr diaz has 44 so here is the outright winner no one can overtake him but if those other 29 votes go to mr salam then you could have a situation where the president michel aoun says ok well its too close to call but i can make the casting vote i will decide on whoever so its not over and done with but it does look like mr de is heading in that direction to be the overall winner tony protesters took to the streets back in october and dispersed call stalemate seems to have been going since then give us a sense of the frustration that. I think the frustration is only growing especially when social media now is reflecting to the possibility of mr de being the next Prime Minister they are been saying about his tenure as an Education Minister in the government in 2000 level of 2014 that everything was not as it should have been casting aspirations about what he did those allegations of corruption none of this is corroborated i have to ask i have to add but there are serious concerns about this man as there have been calls also for further demonstrations outside the Parliament Building this evening and every weekend or mass demonstrations that will be the test so people turn out in force this evening and show their disquiet at this. Selection then you will see a good deal of what the people level and think tanny about here they have a live press and barrett hell be bringing us updates throughout the evening thanks will. Well its a similar story in iraq where the deadline for nomination of a new Prime Minister looms a step down from the post last month after weeks of violent protests in which more than 400. 00 people were killed but the demonstrations have continued people say they want a complete overhaul of the political system theyre angry about widespread corruption high unemployment and Poor Public Services now turkish president has denounced other muslim nations for not supporting his plans to resettle refugees in Northern Syria he underlines the pressure his country was under saying 50000 people were migrating from syrias province into turkey meanwhile 3 civilians have been killed and several others injured in the latest round of russian air strikes on rebel positions in southeast shelling and those airstrikes have escalated in recent weeks now survivors of a boat that sank off the coast of mauritania say they would risk the same journey again in order to reach europe at least 62 people were killed when the boat went down earlier this month nicholas how commit some of them in the gambian town of daraa where that journey began. Its a journey that still haunts him. Why did the others die she took you for indoors and why did he survive. On board were friends and neighbors from bar all hoping to make it to europe he says they had meticulously planned the trip for weeks but the ocean often brings the unexpected journey out of fuel and food they had decided to turn around for supplies when a wave hit them people panicked the boat capsized off the coast of more tedium juice friends died while he swam to shore why do they want to live if i pray that they have forgiven me and i hope that i can one day complete their journey so that we can all find some peace among the dead to 60 year old orphan. Gomez died with her 6 year old son in her arms and jojo poaching these 4 young gambians fleeing not war but the poverty in their country georgia worked as a waitress in a bar catering to tourists from gambia europe seems so close at home she would ask her aunt why its so easy for europeans to come to africa and so hard for africans to go to europe go dont you dont play but that life and health is fit in and if i mean thats literally as if you want anyone to see. She paid 700. 00 to travel from barak to the Canary Islands by boat while the trafficker who arranged this trip is in hiding there is no shortage of boat men willing to make the journey. These are birds made for fishing not to transport people through the lands at goshen and to the shores of europe but yet migrants get in these vessels sleeping here eating here sometimes they get lost on the way so the journey can go a few weeks or months and this by the river will continue to use this way to get to europe because so many have successfully made it across. While jews in georgia his boat sank migrants on 3 other vessels traveling with them made it to the Canary Islands undetected by border guards. They sent back pictures of themselves from shopping malls or standing next to expensive cars but they dont show the hardship of life in europe. Haunted by those who died despite the failed attempt. Is preparing to travel again it appears his journey is not over. Nicholas hoult al jazeera gambia.

Hello again i missed. A reminder of our top stories this hour police in india have detained hundreds who defied a ban on protests against a controversial new citizenship law internet and mobile services have now been blocked in parts of the capital new delhi. Us President Donald Trump has been impeached for alleged abuse of power and obstruction of congress but speaking on simple osi has thrown uncertainty on to the next steps by refusing to say when the articles to the senate. And libyas un recognized government has agreed to an author of military support from turkey theyve ministration and tripoli is fighting an offensive by the warlord Khalifa Haftar whose forces are trying to capture the capital. Well for more on the situation in libya it lets us. Sami handy hes the editor in chief of International Interest thats a Current Affairs analysis magazine and he joins us now live from london sami lets start with a suggestion from pearson that he wants to broker some sort of a compromise here how seriously will the libyans take his offer given that there are ostensibly russian masson areas on the ground in libya fighting against the un recognized government. I think of that will think that the russians are serious its well known that to russia doesnt see libya as a conflict of vital importance for its libya for russia is simply a Pressure Point to use against the turks to get some concessions out of the turks whether thats in syria or any other point of conflict and to pressure the u. S. In terms of trying to exert itself russia exerting itself as the new superpower weve seen it in syria its said its starting to court the middle east its russia wants to be seen as this alternative superpower so its backed off that with the weaponry and mercenaries over the last 3 months that have allowed her to push into tripoli however it seems that following ago she was with turkey following discussions with their dog and after seeing that turkey is sincere or is serious about sending troops to libya in order to save surges government the russians have thought look at the end of it they are not going to win libya but i can exert my influence and out due to us in libya so i think russians are serious about this idea of mediation and have to will be very worried about these statements well lets talk about the timing of all of this because this offensive has been underway fair by my calculations 8 months now so why are we seeing this renewed interest at this moment from turkey and russia and could it turn the tide of the battle. I think when we say renewed interest it might be renewed interest because libya is back in the headlines but lets remember that the reason the surge is government is Still Standing is because it is turkish drones that have prevented half those forces from entering entering tripoli Turkish Military advisers are helping as it is i think now the talk is out in the open when so large realizes that now its a matter of survival hes doing this last roll of the dice in order to get the turks to come in and save him and lets also remember that for turkey their interest is not libya itself anybody who looks at a map of the mediterranean will see that to egypt to turkey south south cyprus greece and potentially libya if it falls on the half that and therefore goes into the u. A. E. Or bit is forming a sort of maritime choke hold on to turkey for turkey libya is the final chance to prevent this chokehold from taking place and this is why i argue that libya is just as important for turkey as syria turkey knows that if it doesnt look if it doesnt rescue surges government then it will suffer dramatically in the mediterranean when it finds itself surrounded by these empty turkey countries so when we talk about why now why is turkey talking about sending troops now it is because several large is really struggling and i think another proof that settlers are struggling is that missile out there who are undermining him for years have now sent reinforcements to help him because they dont want to have to have to take over tripoli is in turn which undermined all of the parties is now sending reinforcements to tripoli because it believes that half the may actually take tripoli so given that these militias all realize that if half their wins its game over for all of them theyre also the uniting and given that settlers on the verge of losing according to at least to the turks and that is this the turks believe it is imperative to send troops or russia doesnt want to enter into a full engagement with the turks and russia was never keen all in the 1st place of have to fully taking over libya because if after takes over libya fuel putin who the primary influence would be the u. A. E. And egypt which backed out of a throughout this whole throughout this whole 8 years. Fighting you easy us out and have to lose it if yes to choose between russia and the us all roads lead to washington with regards to any of the libyan fractures so russia doesnt trust have them over russia no feels that if and if it can come across as a mediator it will of solve the situation in syria from its perspective it would have sold the situation in libya and it will now be able to convince the middle east that trump was about to be impeached i dont think it to go through the 2nd round but trump who is under threat to us which is retreating i am the new power come to moscow all routed me to moscow and i think. Libya and this is why and this i will see would have to want to a very very complicated proxy conflict there sami handy from International Interest thank you for joining us on aljazeera well lets go to more now on one of our other top stories and the impeachment of the u. S. President donald trump lets just remind you of how that process works in the house will now agree on who will be the house managers or the prosecutors of that trial in the senate and the not trial will be overseen by the chief justice of the Supreme Court and senators will act as jurors and these 2 thirds or 67. 00 senators need to vote guilty on at least one article of impeachment in order to have donald trump removed from office and if this happens the Vice President becomes president but thats unlikely since the senate is controlled by trumps Republican Party while Richard Pildes is from the sutler family hes sorry he is the seidler family a professor of constitutional law at New York University school of law and he joins us now from new york richard thought talk us through the rules here because by my understanding nancy pelosi doesnt actually need to send the articles of impeachment to the senate she could sit on them indefinitely so what are the actual rules. Yes this is a very Interesting Development there are rules that each of the Congress Sets for itself the house has its rules the senate has its rules and they can set whatever rules they want the constitution doesnt say anything about that typically in impeachment although weve had very few but when the house impeaches it immediately sends over the articles of impeachment to the senate which then begins the trial process but here whats going on is that democrats want the senate to call certain witnesses to testify at the trial and the Senate Republican leader does not want to call witnesses so nancy pelosi is trying to exercise some leverage over that process by saying im not going to send you the articles of impeachment until im convinced you are prepared to hold a fair trial which in her view means calling certain key witnesses many of whom are top level advisers to the president to have the 1st hand knowledge of these issues i understand Mitch Mcconnell and chuck shamus a place to sit down and try to hash out some of these roles within the coming week how long could put i see potentially how that had. Well we are in in uncharted territory so theres no precedent for this there are no rules here. So i think if there is she could hold out as long as she feels its necessary to try to get the senate to agree on ground rules that the democrats are willing to endorse now theyll be political calculations of course and you know how that constrains when she sends the articles over its impossible to say at the moment but she has control of the of the process the timing for the moment well Mitch Mcconnell has said that hes going to act in coordination with the white house in order to try to protect the president is this how a senate trial is actually meant to work is this what the Founding Fathers had in mind. I dont think so and the reason is that when our constitution was written we did not have Political Parties the framers of the constitution didnt really anticipate the rise of Political Parties and so they thought that the house and the senate would stand sort of independent of the president and whats happened over time is that with the rise of Political Parties the members of the president s party in the house or the senate have a shared fate with the president there are election prospects are very much tied to how the president of their own party is perceived to be doing and so you get these alliances between the president and the members of the house or the senate from his own party and that just simply was not anticipated by the framers and it has all sorts of implications for our system functions very far beyond the impeachment context and it in an era of very best at best a partisan ship the west wing which had to pay the fed and professor of constitutional at new york investing thank you for joining us on out of there thank you very much. Well democratic president ial hopefuls who want to replace donald trump will face off in a debate on thursday but that session is likely to be overshadowed by this impeachment process out of there as robin also has a preview from los angeles. And then there were set up the once crowded field of democrats debating their way to the nomination has been whittled down as once promising candidates dropped out and others failed to qualify for the debate stage due to low polling numbers and flagging Campaign Contributions overall the race remains static former Vice President joe biden leads the pack with left wing senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren along with centrist indiana mayor pete gedge jostling for 2nd place joe biden has shown an extraordinary resilience. Hes taken a number of hits in the press and he continues to lead the field nationally. And i think thats because people feel comfortable with the idea of him and as the democrat who would take on donald trump one of the candidates who failed to qualify senator cory booker complained about lack of diversity in the debate which will be held on the campus of Loyola Marymount university booker called on the party to loosen its rules another candidate who wont be on stage is billionaire former new york mayor Mike Bloomberg who is self financing his campaign and spending tens of millions of dollars on Television Ads across the country. Problem some veteran Democratic Campaign manager robert shrum says 2nd tier candidates could still break out of the pack or you cant have an artificial breakout moment it has to fit who you are it has to make sense in terms of. The kind of person you are it has to be authentic it cant be justified a line made up designed to punch through looming over all else is the impeachment of President Donald Trump some pundits say impeachment will help trump in 2020 by energizing his base but others arent so sure about that conventional wisdom they see many voters turning against him you know what the clearest signal its going to hurt trump is how fiercely trump is fighting against it all the time in ways that i think are self destructive the debate could preview how democrats may seek to use trumps impeachment as a political weapon rob reynolds aljazeera los angeles. Now sudan is marking one year since the start of the uprising that removes president Omar Al Bashir from power celebrations underway in parts of khartoum and thats where the protests started many are still demanding justice for those who were killed in violence with Government ForcesRights Groups say more than 200 people were killed in last unrest over the government disputes that figure well our correspondent here morgan joins us now live from khartoum sudans capital hibbard seems a very bittersweet celebration today protestors marking what theyve achieved but also still fighting.
