tactics and digging the dirt as the 1st transcripts are released from witnesses who testified to the trump impeachment inquiry. at least 5 people have been killed after iraqi security forces opened fire on protesters in the capital baghdad live rounds were fired at them as traitors were approaching the prime minister's office and this think t.v. headquarters protesters were throwing rocks and setting tires a blaze when security forces flooded into the area more than 250 people have been killed since october 1st when the protests began in baghdad and the shia dominated sounds demonstrators say a corrupt government has failed to ensure jobs and professors have also been calling for an end to what they see as a rainy an interference in iraqi politics demonstrators tried to storm the

ammunition into the air to try to clear the crowds at the same has more now from baghdad. this is been a tense evening in the capital fires on the roads barricades and additional security forces than we've typically seen in previous evenings the violence began late this afternoon protesters attempted to cross a bridge near tahrir square that's been the epicenter of the protests they were trying to cross this bridge to get into the fortified green zone attempted to topple barricades and that's when witnesses say security forces responded with live ammunition witnesses are saying that there are people who have been killed the prime minister spokesman is saying that is not true medical sources say dozens of people are injured and most of the injuries are from god and shot wounds to the face and head and that the wounded includes security forces from there there were reports that there were protesters who gathered around one of the prime minister's office is near the green zone and they had to be dispersed with tear gas and water cannons and also a spokesman with the prime minister's office says the protesters attempted to reach the ministry of justice they lit a fire near of building nearby spokesman says that protesters were beaten back with sticks so what you're seeing is a new evolution in these protests where they're no longer just confined to tahrir square but protesters are going to major intersection at intersections to prevent people from getting to work and going about their business and now we see they're attempting to get to government offices already the last 2 days. various government offices and businesses have been closed as well as schools in baghdad and several southern provinces teachers and attorneys are on strike the prime minister's office is threatening the treaty the teacher's union and attorney says that these teachers are not breaking the law they have the right to protest. thousands of protesters are back on the streets of the capital santiago as anti-government demonstrations and to a 3rd week police have used water cannons and tear gas to try to disperse the crowds of protesters have been throwing rocks they want the presidents of a stand committed to resign and are demanding constitutional reforms are latin america editor of the sea and human has the latest from some tackle. it's day 17 of the ongoing protests here in chile and people just keep coming more and more this is monday on the biggest they're a fair inside tagalog they need our avenue out man which would normally be choked with traffic but again it is our allies at rush hour people are arriving here carrying signs calling for a new constitution or overhaul of the pension system the long series of demands that they have while at the presidential palace and in the congress members of the cabinet and in the case of congress the different political parties are trying to debate reforms that they can propose to try to appease or contain this what they call social outburst in chile which has never happened before and what people say to us is that what is keeping them coming day after day is the conviction that they have now that it is now or never that they've never come closer to having their long felt demands heard. india's capital has been described as a gas chamber officials in new delhi say air pollution has become so toxic that more than 20000000 residents are living in unbearable i burning small well the u.s. embassy air quality index which measures the concentration level of fine particles exceeded 500 on monday bear in mind that anything above 50 is considered risky the people's health a public health emergency has been declared schools are shot and for the next 12 days private cars will only be allowed on the roads every other day that's according to whether they have an old or even number plate well the situation is also being blamed on the farmers from neighboring states who burn stubble at this time of year to clear their fields for the when to crop and. from new delhi. this brown hayes has enveloped new delhi anything above 400 on the city's quality index is considered very sylvia. and. people. it is bad every winter but this is the 1st time the government has declared a public health emergency. just to shut 3 says he doesn't like wearing a mask while driving his scooter that it's necessary. the reason i'm wearing a mask is increased pollution i don't have. it in the last for far. children and the elderly are especially at risk says she suffers a heart condition and the pollution has forced her to go to hospital. i have a cold and cough and my chest has been heartened since pollution increased everything hurts now. doctors say because of the toxic small they have treated 5 times as usual number of patients over the past few days some people living in india's national capital say it's become a gas chamber. the state government is alternating the days. on the roads between those whose registrations end in history and those with evil but farmers are also being blamed behind me is the iconic roster but the president's house it's a tall building but today. the government has taken the step to halt the number of possible recalls on the street that should reduce air pollution a little but as long as farmers keep burning stumble in neighboring states the evolution is expected to continue to be very severe in new delhi. farmers in the adjoining states of punjab and haryana have harvested their rice and now need to clear their land for their winter wheat crop burning is the quickest way environmentalists say that needs to change i think at the end of the day farmers need to sort of put pressure on the government to ultimately provide markets that are needed to shift away to other crops. but pharmacy if they are to change their practices and invest in clean up technology and machinery they need support from the government that's on top of it tackling other sources of pollution meaning those hoping for cleaner air are unlikely to have immediate relief. al-jazeera. a little earlier i spoke to preach. a columnist for the nature conservancy she says the government's policy to reduce the numbers of cars in new delhi will not be effective in the long term. the evidence doesn't point to good news that some recent work and work in the past that seems to suggest that this kind of rationing of license plates or permitting license plates of different numbers on odd and even days doesn't necessarily they do use the air pollution and their number of reasons for this you know you put a policy in place and people respond to it in many ways and oftentimes is people try alternate strategies instead of not driving or carpooling which is what is hoped for they might buy a 2nd car and that might be an older car which pollutes even more than the cars that they have been using and so this is not necessarily the solution it might seem like something is being done and there might be. an immediate reduction for a little while but invariably people seem to find a way around it. well meanwhile the u.s. has formally notified the united nations that it's withdrawing from the paris climate agreement and says it will be out by this time next year u.n. rules meant washington was forced to wait until november 4th 2009 so today the file its exit papers the global pact was signed in 2015 to fight climate change it has been ratified by 185 countries the us is the only country to pull out of the pact president trump has heavily criticized the treaty saying that it imposes an unfair economic burden on american workers. the u.s. appeals court has ordered president trying to hand over 8 years worth of tax returns to new york prosecutors the ruling allows prosecutors to enforce a subpoena for the documents from trump's accounting firm trump has tried to prevent the release of his tax information as part of an investigation into alleged pre-election payoffs. meanwhile in washington for us officials called to testify to the impeachment inquiry into president trump actually failed to show up house investigators have also released a transcript of witness interviews with the former u.s. ambassador to ukraine marie you have an overage and michael mckinley a former advisor to secretary of state by pre-pay o. the u.s. house is preparing to hold public hearings at the formalizing impeachment proceedings against the president last week the inquiry centers on whether trump abused his power by withholding aid to ukraine in exchange for an investigation into political rival joe biden. a white house correspondent kimberly halkett is live for us in lexington kentucky where u.s. president donald trump is due to hold a rally. later ok a lot to talk about here pulling out of the paris agreement was a campaign promise to start with with that do you think that his supporters in kentucky will be happy that in a year he will officially the u.s. will officially be out. yes there's no question that this is something that the supporters of president trump were looking for him to keep in terms of a campaign promise so there's no question that we expect the president to talk about this and also remind supporters that in fact this is something that he said on the campaign trail as you pointed out now the formal announcement a year from now the united states withdrawing from the paris climate accord this you mentioned this is something that repeatedly the president said is an unfair burden on american workers but i can tell you that some democrats in the u.s. senate particularly one bob menendez on the foreign relations committee sending out a statement almost immediately in protest of this saying that this is in fact going to sort of abdicate american leadership too in the global economy to both china and india so there is some controversy it browned it but at the same time here in lexington this is something that trump supporters will be happy about and of course back in washington the impeachment inquiry is the focus of all the attention how big of an issue is it on the campaign trail in places like lakes and. well you know it's really important to talk about this in the context of these local races that are taking place you wonder why with the presidential election a year away why the president would be here in lexington kentucky there's it's one of a handful of states where there are some races that are taking place as of tuesday the president campaigning for the republican governor to try and help them win reelection but the impeachment inquiry is something that's kind of hanging over this like a cloud now there are many here that say they're worried about it they're worried about with these testimonies becoming public that that could hurt the president having said that is very strong support here in kentucky some more than 50 percent support the president more than 65 percent say he should not be impeached so there is no question there is some fear among supporters of the peace. it's going to hurt dollar terms relax donald trump saying that he's coming down to help the supporters or rather the candidates here many of you watching these races very carefully as a barometer of what things could look like for president trump it is real actually efforts a year from now. anyhow for the latest the from lexington kentucky thank you. still to come in this half hour iran takes another step away from the 2015 nuclear deal saying it's developed advanced centrifuges to speed up you rein him in richmond and lebanese protesters block roads again paralyzing beirut as they accuse politicians of dragging their feet. and i read has reigned in new south wales has reigned in queens ny sunday storms decent and fair on the ground people were very very happy they might be a little bit more to come in victoria as well because you can see the clouds going through for the most part not apart from a few showers forming we're back into the sunshine it's not very warm adone 17 now when 20 in sydney person always done better were on the hard twenty's the next couple days in perth in the sunshine and slowly warms in melbourne adelaide but you notice that the wind is still coming off the bite and it's also hitting hobart so you're likely to be cloudy and occasionally went i think test mania for new zealand the high pressure of the last couple days is being eroded by these clouds the active stuff come across the tasman sea so be right on the sides are on and that seems quite likely on tuesday nice warm learn oakland in the sunshine most all the doors long should enjoy that was the rain today creeping slowly north was so tired last one picture that sunny picture come wednesday. good news i think for japan in that i'm not going to say the word rain not with any relevance anyway when the sunshine the still north only breeze isn't just tucking in to cardosa sapporo drops down to maybe 6 degrees or wednesday south of that only still looks really like late summer for most. the 1st glimpse of the challenges faced by journalists if. we are fighting the fake a phony the enemy of the people through the eyes of the federal white house correspondent what do you base your decision that the press is not after truck after truck we're not the enemy of the people we are the people u.s.a. the current battle ground truth is it anyway on 0. of the back is a reminder of the top stories on al-jazeera at least 5 people have been killed in iraq after security forces opened fire on protesters in the capital baghdad as then stations against the government ran up thousands of protesters are back on the streets of the chilean capital santiago as anti-government demonstrations there entered their 3rd week police have used water cannon and tear gas to try to disperse the crowds some of whom have been thrown. and the authorities in india's capital avoided half of the private cars off the road in an effort to curb record high pollution levels officials say the air is so toxic that more than 20000000 residents are living in i burn example. iran has used the 40th anniversary of the 1979 takeover of the us embassy in tehran to announce its taken another step away from the 2015 nuclear deal tehran says it's launched a new generation of advanced centrifuges to enrich uranium president trump withdrew from the nuclear agreement last year and really imposed sanctions on iran for such a pile of reports from tehran. the head of iran's atomic energy organization at one of the country's most important nuclear facilities this is where ali akbar salehi announced that iran has now added another 30 advanced centrifuges. zines you do see we would supposed to have 30 chinese centrifuges we wanted to work on it after we tested 20 chinese centrifuges then 3 to 4 years later to work on the 30 chinese centrifuges but we faced political challenges and senior authorities decided to show iran's potential power and determination this is another step taken by iran to scale back its commitments to the 2015 nuclear deal authorities here say since the united states withdrew last year and imposed if syriza further sanctions on iran the remaining european signatories have yet to uphold their end of the cream and and until they do iran will continue to advance its nuclear program. that is something to european union is continuing to warn against we have continued torch run to reverse such steps without delay and to refrain from any further measures that would undermine the nuclear deal you know that we as the european union remain committed to the limitation of the chase appeal way because it's a matter of respecting international agreement it's a matter of our security but we have also been consistent in saying that commitment that our commitment to the nuclear deal depends on the full compliance by this announcement was made on the 40th anniversary of the takeover of the former u.s. embassy in tehran where thousands gathered to mark the occasion they were demanding the return of the former shah mohammad reza pad levy to iran to stand trial the shah had been allowed into the u.s. to receive medical treatment for cancer those anti-american sentiments are still strong and for many here the united states withdrawal from the nuclear deal is yet another example president hasn't gone honey will be officially announcing a wrong course in reducing its commitments to their base in norway very soon but after monday's announcement by your tom mccarthy organized research there will likely be more concern and criticisms about iran's nuclear ambitions in the days ahead north of the bari alpha 0. well hours after iran's announcement the us said it was imposing new sanctions on 9 a rainy and close to the supreme leader ali how many iran's foreign ministry says those sanctions show america's diplomatic shortcomings and bullying approach to international affairs i can has more on why the sanctions were imposed. senior administration officials briefed journalists to make clear that the latest round of sanctions timed to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the arabian hostage siege now certainly these are significant the sanctions aimed at the very most senior levels of iranian leadership the 9 figures who individually singled out all members of the in a sanctum say a national security officials among them is the head of the iranian judiciary the iranian chief of staff and very importantly the 2nd son of the ayatollah khamenei he's the only one of the i told his children to actually works with in the office and certainly represents his father at times in public so this is a significant selection of sanctions but important to most to that administration officials making very clear that these sanctions are part of an ongoing process this particular round designed to coincide with the anniversary of the iranian hostage siege they are not necessarily a direct reaction to the latest iranian nuclear moves. catalan separatists have been protesting in barcelona against the visit by spain's royal family king philippe and this family were attending an awards ceremony in the catalan regional capital outside thousands gathered to protest the spanish king has been a

home that hey listen we are doing this because you are not raising your voice because you are being silent something like these young men continue to support the mainly sectarian political parties they are diverting traffic caused by road closures there is tension in the streets day 19 of this protest movement and people here say there is still the tournaments to take control of their future but they are facing a political class just as determined to stay in power public pressure has forced prime minister saddle heidi to resign but the president michel aoun has still not set a date for binding parliamentary consultations to choose a new prime minister there's a lot of back room obviously a back door horsetrading trying to identify who's going to be the prime minister but also what kind of cabinet. they think is needed or that they find acceptable lebanon is not on the brink of economic collapse we've started sliding into you know not an economic and but serious economic challenges and the protests are making the economy suffer even more frustration is growing especially among those who need to get to work every day and want their children to return to school but others say they are ready to make a sacrifice none of us are as a shop owner i can't open and be against the people in the movement of course this harms business but i'm enduring because i want to stand with the people and their rights. it's a fight for a better future but some of it he's angry over the high cost of living also benefit from the status quo they are not backing the so-called

they see could turn violent the government is adamant that the real reason for the rallies is to divert attention from its fight against corruption and the reason for that is very simple it is because they are guilty they are guilty of corruption and that is what what they're trying to do is create pressure on the bombers somehow make the government move back from the accountability. they were in
