A vital gas pipeline with russia says washington is meddling in its national players. And as the uns 1st ever global refugee for wraps up we report from one of the key transit points for african migrants heading to europe this is where migrants are being hidden by smugglers who brinson across the Sahara Desert to be on the matter in safety after the smuggler has enough of them for one transport and then the dangerous and sometimes deadly journey begins well go to niger where despite times of borders migrants continue to risk their lives in the desert. Im called aspen welcome to the Program Later today u. S. Lawmakers will take an historic vote on whether to impeach President Donald Trump the democratic controlled house of representatives is expect. That to back the move that would make him just the 3rd president in 240 years to be impeached within trigger a trial in the senate on whether or not to remove trump from Office Thousands of demonstrators have rallied across the country in support of the democrats push for impeachment meanwhile President Trump attacks the impeachment proceedings in a furious 6 page letter to House Speaker pelosi the president accused the Top Democrats of the clear and quote open war on american democracy. Washington correspondent alexander for naaman has been following the story since it broke and she traces the path to impeach a historic day on capitol hill for just a 3rd time the house of representatives will vote whether to impeach a sitting u. S. President though that is expected to be strictly on party lines of 2 weeks of contentious hearings unexpected bombshells and partisan fighting it all started with a phone call a phone call in which President Trump asked president zelinsky of ukraine to investigate his main political rival democratic president ial hopeful joe biden and his son hunter i became increasingly aware of what followed was a congressional inquiry with a dozen witnesses testifying in public describing crimes dealings with ukraine as improper and in as proper is all going to blow up. One witness inside particular turned out to the garden sunland the Us Ambassador to the European Union and so much. He told the investigators there was indeed a quid pro quo in the works that president pressed the Ukrainian Government to get there at the un Joe Biden Jule an exchange for a meeting in the white house make at the same time you asked for military aid for ukraine was put on hold as depressive dench direction everyone was in the loop. So we followed the president s orders corruption other witnesses added more damning details about Donald Trumps conduct time machine no evidence for the democratic majority in the house to move forward with the impeachment. Good morning. 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. Abuse of power and obstruction of congress to charge and the democrats say that amounts to high crimes justifying impeachment however they havent convinced a single republican the at trumps party stands by the president theyre crying pietschmann as a political witch hunt you cant make your case against the present because Nothing HappenedPresident Trumps high crimes threaten our democracy it so they dont like us thats what this is about you know like the president they dont like the present supporters and they dislike us so much theyre willing to weaponize the government the votes in the house will mark the climax of the somebody moment in u. S. History if the majority of lawmakers approved the articles of impeachment which seems likely it will trigger a senate trial to determine if the president is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors and should be removed from office. At trial President Trump seems to be gearing up for he expects to be exonerated by the republican led senate and hopes impeachment will backfire on his rivals there was nothing done wrong to use the power of the preachment on this nonchurch is an embarrassment to this country. The controversy has already fired his or her white and general Public Opinion is split over the matter whatever the outcome what is happening in washington right now reflects the hyper partisan divisions in american politics. Our lets take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines. Around the world protesters have gathered once again in indias capital delhi to challenge a new citizenship law the new law provides a path to indian citizenship for non muslim migrants only the countrys Supreme Court has turned down a motion to stop the implementation of the law australia has endured its hottest day on record with the National Average temperature reaching 40. 9 degrees celsius that tops the last record from 2013 the record busting heat comes as the nation battles a severe drought and bushfire crisis. China has unveiled the 1st Aircraft Carrier built completely in china president teaching aim to harden the commissioning ceremony of the chandon the ships launch comes as the naval rivalry between the u. S. And china increases especially in the south china sea. Well the United Nations has urged rich countries to do more to tackle the world wide refugee crisis speaking at the 1st Global Refugee Forum in geneva the u. N. Secretary general antonio terrace criticize what he called a quote hostile political environment for posing a threat to Asylum Seekers one example of this can be seen in the west african country of niger now with the recent increase in the number of migrants going from africa to europe the e. U. Moved to shut down some of the main transit routes through niger brussels provided support for nigers military which now patrols the countrys borders since then the number of migrants passing through the country has sharply decreased but Human Trafficking remains a lucrative business in places like a death is seen as a gateway to north africa w. s travel to aga days where many claim pressure from the e. U. Is now making the situation for migrants more dangerous for nearly 30. Broad people across the border from i got us into libya he never thought he was doing something criminal. This who had its not true that we are socalled human traffickers and we are deceiving people its also not true that we treat them in humanely or badly. Europes politicians have demonized him as a criminal smuggler but here people like him used to be called press sirs and their work was considered the most normal thing in the world why should it be criminal to bring people from a to b. Most asks for centuries the desert city of agadez has profited from people passing through from west to north africa in search of work. But this stopped in 2015 when the European Union signed agreements with several transit countries to curb migration to europe because of that suddenly became unemployed 6000 other former smugglers in asia shared his fate store and hotel owners who used to live from the travellers had no income. Even though migration decreased it never stopped so human rights organizations such as Doctors Without Borders this week even though the laws we enforce in 2015 the bigger issue never stopped and they will never stop oh if you put doors to the revolution they really use other doors so what we see is the greater in small compared to the past they are much more vulnerable why because everything has to be undercover in the clan the city hidden we managed to meet a smuggler who still active now his job is illegal if he gets caught you risk several months in jail ever since the military started patrolling the borders he tells us scenes like this one are getting more and more common. This is if you have to lets say im a driver transporting migrants when suddenly the military shows up. Then i want the migrants out of the car just down the road and tell them to wait there until i come back and then i just leave and they die there there are many such cases. Its very rare that drivers actually come back the un suspects at least twice as many people die on their way to the mediterranean than in the mediterranean itself who are these people who despite these dangers make the Journey Towards europe. We are close to the socalled ghetto at the border of the tunnel at this this is where migrants are being hidden by a smuggler who brings them across the Sahara Desert to the migrants say here to the smuggler has enough of them for one transport and then the dangerous and sometimes deadly journey begins. With a clear courtyard under the open sky there are hundreds of my grans waiting in places like this across the city. One of them as. A student from guinea he has tried to leave 3 times each time he was picked up by the military on the libyan border the route through the desert is not good libya and the mediterranean are not good but what else can i do. As a migrant from guinea was man but he has little chance of receiving the right to stay in europe but that doesnt stop him. Although i want to go to europe i hate europe why do i hate europe because europe cant exist without Africa Africa is rich with resources like diamonds and uranium but who benefits from these resources. Europe is where these Young Africans dream of living and although the chances of actually getting there are slim for them giving up and going back home is not an option. For joining us now from geneva is Leonard Doyle hes the spokesperson for the International Organization for migration thank you for speaking with us now 1st of all the u. N. Secretary general is urging developed countries to do their fair share when it comes to the global refugee crisis what would that look like. Well i dont your your broadcast being primarily about migrants who are traveling from from Subsaharan Africa north and indeed within theres a large component of the side of the city a genuine fear for their own personal safety many migrants too as well they may not be entitled to sign but they are definitely people in need of could in need of protection and. I think what the sector generally is really talking about is a 3rd of the equality that you see in the world that leads to people spontaneously leading a lot of Good Governance in their countries for themselves of and were seeing all these fathers who you saw well documented in that last piece most mothers have no interest in the welfare of the people of their charges they want the money pure and simple and although you do the piece seems trading somewhat sympathetic to us losing out in this game they are appalling and probably here and murderous in their treatment tomorrow so i think what we need is more equality and better migrants Good Governance so we say from this formerly in this regular people are not encouraged to with themselves at risk and these are awful ways so often in tragedy well one thing that the European Union has been doing is working to stop african migrants from coming to europe in the 1st place that was a policy thats been criticized i mean is that an effective strategy in your opinion. Well there take some issue with the way you phrased it theres something irregular myricks without regular documents no of course we argue for surface lee if youre free to open pathways for legal migration to europe that is not happening but the notion that people should be allowed to cross borders without a passport i think is fantastic for them to stay in age when there are concerns about everything from the economy to security i dont know any country in the world that says come here that are we happy with or without a passport so i think we need a little bit about this in the way the friend for this question. What was the most concrete success you can point to from this summit i mean this was the 1st ever global refugee form were there any good ideas coming from geneva where there are many many excellent ideas and its to the. To the u. S. Your just couldnt be in the summit to see the specific deal but we can say today that the i went is international migrant. That there are some significant changes this year the number of migrants who have died on trying to Cross International borders is sharply down in 2019 is down by 25 percent so thats an improvement the numbers of dying in the mediterranean is sharply down now the rate of those the rate at which people are dying has actually increased because theyre going to be less and less safe because of the restrictions that are being put on smugglers and the desperation of models to get to or so its a mixed picture meanwhile in the horn of africa the numbers crossing the sea is up to 10000. 00 a month so thats true gnostic equally in latin America Numbers leading venezuelan put a great pair of increases but broadly speaking the overall picture is the number of americans who are on the road and who are suffering and dying as was. Leonard doyle from the International Organization for migration thank you very much. Youre watching the news still to come. On a life changing opportunity for disadvantaged children in mexico an orchestra for those who never had the chance before. But 1st after a one day delay the European Space agency has now successfully launched a satellite that will study planets outside our solar system the key ops satellite as its you know last it off aboard a wrong kit from the European Space ports and French Guiana the mission is expected to last 3 years part of its goal is to discover if there are other earth like planets capable of sustaining life beyond our star system here is a look at exactly how key ops works. The key ops mission is designed to advance the search for extraterrestrial life for the 1st time the satellite will study planets orbiting distant suns socalled exoplanets. Chips will observe how these distant worlds pass in front of the stars they orbit to make this possible researchers 1st had to scour the sky with other telescopes to select the stars to be targeted by the satellite. Looking at the one star at the time. So we need to know that star has a plan that we need to know when this planet passes in front of the star and at that moment we point copes there. The satellite is set to measure the tiny fluctuations in brightness that occur when a planet passes in front of its star a celestial body the size of our earth dims the light by just 100th of a percent. Can measure this barely perceptible from. More accurately than ever before. From the decrease of light you can infer how big the planet is compared to the stuff because it just hides a part of the surface and you can compute which fraction of the surface is being hidden by the passing planet and that gives you dead the size of the planet. All this without going or do this without seeing the plan to just see the shuttle. With his telescope astronomers can determine another property of the invisible planets their mass they then want to combine this information with the data they obtain from cheops and thus determine the density of distant worlds this shows them whether they are planets made of rock or gas. Or whether the distant worlds have an ocean or consist of ice cold the satellite should also find out whether they have an atmosphere this allows conclusions to be drawn as to how habitable these worlds are. Super telescopes such as the extremely large telescope will then take a closer look at the earth like exoplanets in the coming decade they will look for traces of life in their atmospheres and find out for example whether there are microbes and plants there. Joining me now in studio as one pres with the institute of Planetary Research at the German Aerospace center here in berlin youll be actually analyzing the data sent back from the telescope is a correct is correct all right now this mission what were talking about exoplanets what exactly is an exoplanet why are they so important. Components of planets like ours where we are you know but we can all the stars in the sun and they are interesting because they dont last oh the planets you know or for us to some form. Of life or reach earth what theyre going to do you have. Details about which are the conditions the planets so it is it then because it sounds a bit like Science Fiction is about looking for the next planet earth or is a more about studying the planet we already have we want everything we want to get ahead understand how life is possible. He had hoped to preserve these life for these we need to compare it with all that but we want also to find all the planets that could be comparable to ours and that could be. A bit of Science Fiction i mean the 1st time it was discovered in the 9095 scientist. But i would leave the number by the year. Doing the year jets with respect to finding the next day could you expect to find it well we. Would be a 1st step in these direction its were very excited about the results in the next decade we would launch even larger satellites like later which is also led by the German Space Center and we respect the find really balance to the earth what would that mean for science if we were to find a planet thats so much like planet earth that could potentially support human life i mean im assuming these planets are really far away we cant just take. It and go visit one right this is correct i mean i think we recently the who was awarded the nobel prize he said we got into those planets and if you hear an old professor say that something is possible hes probably right if he says that something is not possible he may be wrong but i mean we cannot do those planets today as we drove into the moon 100 years ago but in the next centers we made the right of the technology that allowed us to elise explode on this in more detail. Now as you mentioned i mean we cant go there but we can observe them what exactly can you see from these exoplanets how detailed of a picture could you get they had been far away so we did very Little Information the 1st information that we did this abode their bug property which is the mouse which is their radios and these let us know which is the density and does it we can see theyre made of rock or made of jupiter or that guys johnson and its a law system and these little we know which. Planet weve got to learn about their formation process is which of those materials the Building Blocks or planets im looking for potentially planet earth number 2 on compare pres with the institute of Planetary Research at the German Aerospace center thank you very much thank you so much. Well music can be a powerful force in peoples lives for example in mexico where a committed teacher a generous donor and dedicated children turned life around for families living in poverty heres a look at an orchestra for children who are never given a chance. Its the moment just before the performance when excitement replaces nerves and the audience waits expectantly. This is Rosie Collins favorite moment but her journey here has been anything but easy. But i mean for me said music saved me because before i had big problems with my family. Rosie collin grew up in extreme poverty in a mountainous area near mexicos via de bravo her family looks back on difficult times her father is a former alcoholic instead of money hed bring home booze and anger. The jungle every mile in my mother cried my children to. Stay with us that say but instead id go drinking is ok to my goat i couldnt use. Determined to give her children a chance rosies mother enrolled her 3 children in a new orchestra without being able to pay a cent and that decision would change her life. This is the man who can bring out a passion for music in children prospero riots isnt interested in fame wealth or professional musicians. I mean im not interested in the best child im interested in all childrens prosperity rectify a sign a philharmonic an orchestra for poor children funded by donations none of its musicians have money for lessons or instruments instead they have passion and selfdiscipline. Students take turns directing and take on leadership positions they grow in selfconfidence and become more engaged in life. Today the Young Musicians are about to experience Something Special they get to perform in the best location in via their bravo one that this means an absolute surge in the selfconfidence. For rosie its an honor to be here and now for her best moment. When the children experience what they have achieved together being able to spread joy with their work and from an orchestra for the poor. They create wealth.
