Relishing the chance to develop the clubs younger players. In the next hour the impeachment inquiry into donald trump will wrap up this weeks hearings with 2 new witnesses expected to make public new details of white house contacts with ukraine fiona hill is the white houses top russia analyst she reported directly to former National Security advisor john bolton who has refused to testify she is expected to give details of a socalled shadow Foreign Policy run by trumps personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and Gordon Salmond david holmes an official at the u. S. Embassy in ukraine hell testify alongside her he says that he overheard a call between trump. In song land in which the president asked the diplomats if ukraine would investigate the by bands will have more on thursday is expected to proceedings in just a few moments but 1st heres allan fishes report on the dramatic testimony by songs and. From the u. S. Ambassador to the stunning testimony. Said it was abundantly clear to everyone ukraine would not receive military aid from the u. S. Or a meeting at the white house unless it announced an investigation into a Company Connected to the son of political opponent question joe biden 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 so and when previously denied the security it was conditioned on the biden investigation but he told the Impeachment Panel it warts in the absence of any credible explanation for the suspension of aid. I later came to believe that the resumption of security aid would not occur until there was a Public Statement from ukraine committing to the investigations of the 2016 elections and for research and he insisted senior figures on the administration knew what was going on including the Vice President and the secretary of state everyone was in the loop the suggestion that we were engaged in some irregular or rogue diplomacy is absolutely false im not sure how someone could characterize something as an irregular channel when youre talking to the president the United States the secretary of state the National Security adviser the chief of staff of the white house the secretary of energy he said trump insisted u. S. Diplomats what with his private attorney Rudy Giuliani on handling ukraine so we followed the president s orders sundin says giulianis direction on ukraine became more insidious with time in early july a coveted white house visit for ukrainian president let him use a lengthy was dangled as an award for ukraines cooperation which but later so england testified it became upon that the 400000000. 00 in security aid was also on the line someone testified that in a phone call with the oval office he asked trump an open ended question what did the president won from ukraine the answer he wanted nothing and republicans and the president claims that proves the impeachment hearing is a waste of time its over and some of the fair friends of which there is a deal mike said this thing is over nancy pelosi is a competent shes gotten nothing done in congress and now with their big star witnesses and its going to be their star witness that just so you know i dont know very well from a little witness confirmation the ukrainians asked why i was being held up as i think quality coming sooner than previously reported my staff showed me to unclassified emails that they received from the state department. One was received on july 25th at 2 31 pm that email said that the Ukrainian Embassy and House Foreign Affairs committee are asking about Security Assistance democrats called sunderlands testimony a seminal moment it goes right to the heart of the issue of bribery as well as other potential high crimes or misdemeanors but we also have heard for the 1st time that that knowledge of this scheme was pervasive. Republicans continue to insist the president did nothing wrong that the hearings are a waste of time and money the latest attempt to remove an elected president. But this testimony from the trump loyalists remain democrats. And republicans rethinking how to defend the president alan fischer aljazeera washington. Were joined White House Correspondent kelly hell could in just a few moments but 1st lets go to Heidi Jo Castro whos just outside the chambers where the impeachment inquiry is to resume in the next hour before we get on to the meat of what we can expect today what are the takeaways from all that happened yesterday. Right and you saw them summed up rather nicely by allan but the major takeaways from the morning yesterday was the testimony of a vaster worded saleh whos said that there was an explicit condition. On getting this investigation going that trump wanted into the bidens and he said that explicit condition was an invite for the ukrainian president to visit the white house for a photo op with trump and then he took it a step further and said that he presumed that there was yet another condition that this was that it was required for the ukrainians to open these investigations in order to get 400000000. 00 of u. S. Security aid and then stalin said that his presumption was not corrected by anyone else and they ministration that he had conversations with the acting chief of staff of this office and also the Vice President the department of state the department of energy and solids words he said everyone was looped in that it was clearly understood by everyone exactly what was at stake now republicans had previously been using as a line of defense that because the ukrainians apparently werent looped in that they didnt understand that the security aid had been frozen at the time that president the lewinsky. He was speaking with trouble on the phone on july 25th republicans argue the fact of ukrainians didnt know means that theres no possible way this can be spun as bribery well thats why the testimony from laura hooper who we heard in the afternoon the department of defense official was so damning when she said that she had evidence of ukrainians asking about why that money wasnt coming on the same day that trump and the president of ukraine were on the phone and finally there was a yet another additional witness david hale who is the highest professional diplomat in the secretary in the department of state and he was actually called by the republicans as a witness to potentially defend trub but under questioning david hale said that it would be wrong to withhold security aid in exchange for help with trumps Political Campaign all right so what can we expect from witnesses number 8 and 9 in this public phase of the impeachment hearings. Well were expecting to hear from fiona hill who was a russian and ukraine an expert on the National Security council and she really is seen as kind of a placeholder for her boss john bolton who has thus far refused to comply with giving his testimony and she has said previously behind closed doors that bolton called this effort to get the ukrainians to open investigation into the bidens he that that bolton had called this a drug deal and had labeled the private attorney of President Trump Rudy Giuliani who was apparently leading this effort both and called him a live hand grenade furthermore work special to hear from a staff member from the u. S. Kiev embassy this is david holmes who came forward with Fresh Information that on the day after trump and the lens. Had spoken holmes overheard trumps voice on another phone call that trump was de vry thing of the korean samba and who was visiting ukraine and what had been said in that phone call and he overheard trump say in this very loud phone call he was asking about the investigations and later he was told by some land that the president didnt give an expletive about ukraine but he only cared about the big stuff which was to his own political benefit so coming up today expect to hear from holmes and perhaps some more ex would have written testimony all right how do we back with you for more analysis in the coming hours for the moment many thanks indeed lets bring in our White House Correspondent kimberly how could a committee the president was tweeting that yesterday he had an excellent day when he got back after his trip to work to texas he couldnt believe the fake News Coverage of what had happened the day hearing yesterday as he called it given that rather explosive test of the board is the white house strategy moving forward. Well the president s just tweeted about a minute ago this one dropped really gives us some insight into perhaps the emotion the president is feeling right now he says i never in my wildest dreams thought my name would in any way be associated with the ugly word impeachment the calls transcripts were perfect there was nothing said that was wrong no pressure on you great corruption and dishonesty by shift that means adam schiff the chair of the House Intelligence Committee on the other side referring to democrats so theres that tweet and then the one about half an hour earlier that you referenced where the president characterized this as a perfect day that is the strategy of the president he has been making the point and we do know that he contacted several republicans yesterday to kind of frame how he was reading and receiving the testimony by ambassador sohn live essentially that regarding quid pro quo it didnt come at the president s direction the ambassador stated very clearly and also testified that the president wanted nothing so this is classic donald trump packaging branding trying to put things in his favor but he does have a challenge here theres no question about it and that challenge is going to come in the u. S. Senate that ultimately will hold the trial and vote whether or not to remove President Trump from office so his Charm Offensive continues and has another facet he is holding weekly policy meetings and luncheons at the white house we know that today is no exception he will be holding another private meeting where some of those key senators that could be a problem for the president will be in attendance one of them senator mitt romney a vocal critic of president trouble former president ial candidate he is reportedly going to be in attendance and this is really important because the president knows he needs the republicans on his side not only to ensure that he stays in office that hes not removed from office but also moving its a 2020 to ensure that the rip. Publican party does not fracture over this well bring you that latest hearing as what it gets under way in little over 45 but its time here and i was there of the budget White House Correspondent kimberly how could many thanks indeed with the impeachment inquiry dominated the debates among democratic president ial hopefuls last night in atlanta not surprisingly the u. S. President was criticized by all 10 candidates taking but one of them cautioned fellow democrats about becoming too obsessed with trump we have a president who is not only a pathological liar he is likely the most corrupt president in the modern history of america but we cannot simply be consumed by donald trump because if we are going to watch were going to lose the election American People understand is that the congress can walk and should bubble gum at the same doc and other words we can deal with trumps corruption but we also have to stand up for the working families of this country david bach is director of the center for congressional and president ial studies at American University joins us now live from washington d. C. Good to have you with us David Sullivan was billed yesterday as the the star witness what about hill and holmes how important will lead testimony be today. I think less important i think that at this point this is really going to revolve around someones testimony and the disputes between the democrats and the republicans as to just how reliable he is and as to exactly what should be taken away from that testimony i mean its not that the other witnesses are irrelevant or unimportant and they can provide substantiating information but son when we always kind of knew that saddam was going to be the ball game here i think he is going to be Going Forward and what about the the white house policy you had a correspondent could be talking about President Trumps sort of continued campaign of bluster confidence and openness cation how much longer can that go on i think forever i think thats what weve seen from this president from the time he campaigned its what is appealing about him to many of his supporters. Is the style and which he operates and projects strength both domestically and abroad and he has people on within certain partisan Media Channels who are willing to back that up and to echo that style and that information how much damage is this doing to the Republican Party and indeed to american democracy. Well thats not clear in the short term it doesnt necessarily appear to be harming it at all the republicans of course 1. 26 team with this style its not clear that frankly that they would have won had they not shifted to a more populist message the argument can be made that in the longer run this is potentially damaging the Republican Party very much not just the impeachment but the broader style of this presidency and the move toward i nationalistic populist and more blustery type of rhetoric as well as Foreign Policy that eventually right as a little the generational displacement takes place that the republicans are going to find themselves in Something Like a permanent minority status unless they choose to shift back as it relates to american Foreign Policy or american diplomacy around the world this is unmistakably harmful the europeans and the rest of the citizens as well as the leaders and other industrialized democracies frankly dont know what to think or what to believe out of the United States anymore and whether they can trust us and i just want to get you know so its only on. Whether any other president if times were normal this would have sunk any other president wouldnt it or would it not just the wind were not living in the time said. Right i mean i think that certainly appears to be true plenty of other president s and aspiring president s and politicians have been sunk for far less there has been speculation that had fox news existed in the 1970 is that Richard Nixon might not have been forced to resign. So i think thats one of the biggest differences is that between partisan media social media etc it enables people to basically tune in to hear and then believe the facts that they choose to believe in they dont have to engage with other information that they can easily dismiss and so given that right half the country doesnt necessarily know any of the stuff that were talking about here today or certainly is able to put another spin on it and so thats the thing that keeps this sort of divided polarized dynamic continuing good to talk to david many thanks indeed for being with us. This is the news hour from aljazeera still to come on the program next to israels political crisis will have a live update. Were in sudan where Climate Change is being blamed for driving villagers from their homes. And in sport india its ready to host its 1st day night cricket test match captain isnt happy will hear from virat kohli later. Britains main opposition labor partys unveiled its manifesto for the december 12th general election leader Jeremy Corbyn outlined what he would do if he becomes Prime Minister hes promised what many are calling a radical plan the labor party wants to nationalize Certain Industries to give people another briggss and to increase taxes on the richest this party this movement this manifesto is different. Labor is on your side and there could be scarcely a clear demonstration of that and the furious reaction of the richest and most powerful is the back because. Starvation thought we represented politics as usual then we could be bought off that nothing was going to change they wouldnt attack us so for actually. Live now to birmingham in the u. K. Where that manifesto was launched on tuesday was paul brennan is that its been described as the most radical labor manifesto in decades paul whats in it. Yes i mean its been also described as probably the purest just elation of jeremy corbins view on politics overall i mean hes basically thrown everything that he possibly can and this it is the pinnacle if you like of his political career hes hes you know he really has listed everything that he wants to change in the u. K. I have the the manifesto here 105 pages a Little Red Book on the contents of genesis still poring through but i can give you some of the headline differences reforms that hes proposing a living wage what he calls a real living wage of the equivalent of around 13. 00 an hour a 1000000 green jobs for Climate Change nationalizing ward bound and some of the what he called natural monopolies such as the railways water energy the mail and the railways and water also polishing tuition fees for Higher Education and University Students now obviously in a place like this that went down particularly well with the the audience in the room listening other ones though a one off windfall tax on Oil Companies and i was down there was something. Within the shadow cabinet within germany colvins cabinet about that fearing that it might damage the north Sea Oil Industry but nevertheless it is in there although not in very specific terms how does he propose to pay for all of this. Well he insists that its fully cost that in addition to this document there was another document a kind of great power thats the estimate of it cannot of economists is that its going to cost the equivalent of around 90000000000. 02 pay for this plan but the labor party says that they have gone through with a fine tooth comb that they have the funds that they have the tax proposals to actually fund this fully and they are saying that this is not some kind of magic money tree but they actually do have the proposals to do it what was interesting though is. Proportional. In proportion to the radical nature of this document what theyre saying is that judge it by the opposition that it generates its quite a radical strategy to sell it to the public effectively theyre saying all of those critics and however loudly they they shout about this and try to say that its rubbish and that it wont work that will be evidence of just how good it is so its an interesting and interesting tactic that the labor party hard putting forward for this to win over voters ahead of that vote on december 12th for many thanks indeed paul brennan there live in birmingham christopher it is a researcher at the center of british politics at the university of nottingham he joins us now via skype from nottingham good to be with us chris running well behind the conservatives at the moment in the opinion polls will this manifesto change their fortunes. Well it remains to be seen really doesnt i think. The certainly certainly pulling out all the stops to turn it around. You know whether it. Be playing to cold in strength so. Maybe you know hopefully for him might it might help hold that. Remains to be seen really is there an appetite in britain for such a radical manifestos labels. I think it definitely is so the coven of the you know the you know the very strong core support base and that they would definitely get me cold kind of things these posing whether it whether it starts a chord with them all sort of general population again remains to be seen but i think you know i think a lot of the think that housing will certainly be attractive people whether whether its attractive enough to convince them to vote for the labor party lethal force thats a very different issue as paul brennan was saying a lot of the policies will appeal directly to Younger Voters who have a history in the u. K. Of not turning out to vote in elections will this be enough do you think to get them to the polling booths. Thats yeah. I think i think theres a good chance that its only encourage many many people to show up. Some of you know probably think that polish tuition is the only be quite popular students so you know there are young people are notorious for not turning out to vote. Certainly a lot of these policies are very attracted to young people so. Theres a good chance that it could be could convince a lot of young people oh there are a lot of dissatisfaction with the current politics among among younger people so you hope potentially a pretty great turnout. Ok chris good to talk to you many thanks to being this christopher. Not again just want to show you some live pictures from the not live actually there they happen just a few moments ago. Arrivals for todays. Impeachment hearings witnesses 8 and 9 fiona hill. She is should be giving evidence alongside. Her colleague right ok shes gone but lets move on. Because newly elected president got to by rajapaksa has sworn in his own brother as Prime Minister but had a rajapaksa served as president for 10 years because a pirate rajapaksa has vowed to be tough on Security Issues in light of the easter bombings that happened earlier this year lets go live now to colombo. Smell philanders can tell us more about the swearing in ceremony and whether the rajapaksa smell of got down to work yet. Absolutely a journey that started earlier today when my in the rajapakse of the former president took his oath of office before his younger brother the new president got up there rajapaksa now obviously this marks a sort of a return and a reversal of the rajapaksa fortunes bear in mind that is the brother mind of us voted out of office in 2015 as he attempted to win a 3rd however this entire result in the last couple of days has marked essentially a public sort of a reverse so in terms of hakim back to the rajapakse is very much an acknowledgment that their priorities have shifted since those who the bombings where the concerns that National Securitys needs someone sort of capable and a dead income that rajapakse is proved as the majority has. Voted that they managed to bring to an end a 26 year civil war get a handle on national t. V. And theyre promising to do once again a good job the rajapaksa the president has replaced all the governors in the provinces of sri lanka we had all the new appointments coming through. Weve also had mind the rajapaksa the new Prime Minister actually starting work today this is actually the official Prime Ministers office he was here for about 3 hours today not just to symbolically and ceremonially sort of scion his 1st document but also to have a series of meetings he was holed up with basically his supporters his Loyalists Party obviously mapping out the next couple of days we did see him the rajapaksa the appointed secretary the secretary the president walking in there was a lot of activity because the 1st thing that minded has to do to his appointment as Prime Minister obviously is to name his cabinet were hearing that that cabinet will be named on friday and one sort of key thing that has been talked about is that this cabinet which will be very much a sort of an interim government until elections take place for the new parliament that that cabinet is going to be limited to sort of around 15 ministers now that its so of is a mammoth task i mean particularly in terms of the bartering going on in terms of all the support of the rajapakse as got everybody will want a piece of the action but thats going to be one of their 1st challenges limited limiting that cabinet and basically mapping out the next couple of days but now many thanks indeed melbourne understand lives in colombo israels president has asked parliament to find a new Prime Minister in order to avoid a 3rd general election this year after the incumbent spokesman netanyahu and his rival benny gantz both failed when they tried to form a government to syrias harry force it is live for us now in west jerusalem so harry what happens next. Well what happens next is 21 days 3 weeks of at least the potential even if its an outside chance of the Israeli Parliament the knesset to come up with 61 of its 120 members recommending somebody to try to form a new government if that were to happen that person would then have a for the further 14 days in which to try to for form a coalition its what one newspaper here referred to as injury time in this entire process it is totally unprecedented in israeli political history and the president of israel riven rivlin who since the 2nd inconclusive election in september has been really urging at all costs a unity government between the 2 main parties to be formed saying to all the politicians involved that the last thing we need is a 3rd election today he said that israel was facing a time of unprecedented darkness in the history of its the state and he is calling on everybody as is the speaker of the knesset to try to form a government even at this last stage over there are very few people who believe that thats going to happen most now believe a 3rd election is on the way ok and how to people feel in israel about the prospect of a 3rd election in a year. Well its extremely unpopular as you can elicit from what is being said by both the president and as well as at the speaker theres a lot of talk about trying to avoid a 3rd election but not enough pressure as yet either to get Benjamin Netanyahu to agree to go 2nd in an administration if used to doing a deal of rotational Prime Ministership because he wants to be in in office if and when the indictments come in and 3 Corruption Cases against him and ben benny gantz his main rival says that he wants to only negotiate with netanyahu in the could party not with the other factions that come with him as they do at the moment in a right wing bloc and he says that he cant serve under a Prime Minister facing indictment so that is the law which has yet to be broken one potential splintering of it is coming as come in the shape of get on sa he is the prospective rival to Benjamin Netanyahu within good a few weeks ago he said that he was ready for a leadership challenge should one be in prospects now today he says that he wants to see a leadership contest if there is going to be a 3rd election the could should hold a leadership contest and he would challenge netanyahu for the leadership of course one of the big unknown factors is exactly what impact the likely indictments will have there are some reports that the attorney general could indict netanyahu as early as today if not certainly by early next week and among the charges he said that he will want to charge him with bribery whether he goes ahead with that thats a very serious charge whether that might also spent some support away within the could out of there as harry for said life there were seriously hairy many thanks indeed now if youre watching in southeastern australia perhaps it will help if i do this for you its a tad warm. Is that helping kevin can type i think you need a little bit more than that adrian were going to be seeing a you need a big front to push through and thats exactly what were going to be seeing over the next day we have seen temperatures in adelaide are getting very close to record this was on wednesday 42 degrees 43 was their november record but we did have records that were broken here in melbourne this was the highest temperature that they have seen 41 degrees the highest november since 1904 even hobart got in on the action with a very High Temperature as well 37 degrees there they havent seen this temperature and november since 1031937 they can see the number very small there but were going to be seeing a big change in the weather over the next day the frontal boundary that youre talking about what we need is pushing through but with that and fortune was seeing a lot of winds as well and with those winds of course we are dealing with those bushfires winds and bushfires do not go very well together very gusty conditions across this frontal boundary right now this is what its looking like in New South Wales at the moment going to be seeing the wildfires continue spreading but were going to be seeing that front push through once the front pushes through it is going to be a little bit cooler in that area but as you can see there dealing with some incredible low visibility across much of the area temp wise look at this adelaide from 42. 00 degrees all the way down to 1000. 00 degrees on friday over here towards melbourne it is going to be a little bit cooler as well temps there 18 back to you adrian.

But in other parts of the 2 square a more creative form of dissent murals paying tribute to the spirit and strength of iraq the women. Created by women admired by them to the presence of so many female protesters here women who represent virtually every segment of the society is remarkable not only that they continue to come out day after day but they insist theyll keep on doing so no matter how dangerous the situation may become until the government meets their demands.
