A little on the president ial level. But again in iraq where Security Forces have killed 3 protesters in the capital baghdad and that takes the total number killed since the beginning of october to at least 329. 00 demonstrators have been rallying against corruption and unemployment the government has responded by promising political and social reforms simona holton in fact that. Its been a not a violent day in baghdad but heres where i spoke to several eyewitnesses both protesters as well as volunteer who say they. Are one of the major protests here in baghdad near our budget where Security Forces the board of tear gas as well as live ammunition to discourse Disperse Protesters around and i also spoke to one of the volunteer medics and one of those men. Clinics read. He has treated several injured protesters have received blood i mean its not its important to say that some of the volatile also coming from the protesters there for one molotov cocktails in the direction of the Security Forces and also spoke to one protester was a key part of a group who had actually tried to capture and beat one of the members of the of the riot forces you know were also seeing a lot of funeral processions today a lot of caskets being carried through to here where People Company building a final farewell to those who were passed away yesterday in the marshes and of course these funerals for the galvanize the crowds manual for anger and as the crowd surged here in Tahrir Square were likely to see more confrontations. The. President total trump says he wants a trial in the Republican Controlled Senate if he is impeached by the house he defended using his private attorney Rudy Giuliani to work on ukraine policy because of his reputation as quote a great crime fighter House Intelligence Committee has wrapped up a 2nd week of impeachment hearings looking into accusations that trump pressured ukraine to and best his political rivals there was no due process as you can have lawyers do we couldnt have any witnesses we want to call the whistleblower but you know what i want is the 1st witness because frankly i want to trial you know i could take i could have it you want to try whatever i want oh i would let you look number one they should never ever impeached. Oh its a wide ranging interview with fox news and the president went on to say that hong kong would be destroyed if it wasnt for him if it werent for me im coming with a good old literary didnt look at 14 minutes to get a 1000000 soldiers standing outside of their own going in only because i ask him please dont do that youll be making a big mistake its going to have a tremendous negative impact on the trade you can really help get us more from washington d. C. The latest wording from the Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell is that yes if there is the drafting of the articles of impeachment by the house judiciary its up to nancy pelosi to make sure then that goes to the floor of the house of representatives that does appear the trajectory that it is taking and certainly one the donald trump has said he wants given the fact that the argument has been from the white house all to this point that they have not had an opportunity to defend the president but the real reason is that that chamber of the Upper Chamber in the u. S. Congress is controlled by republicans the president s own party and thats where he feels in fact he spoke on fox and friends a conservative leaning morning show this morning with the president had a very long and winding interview where he says he doesnt expect that he will be impeached its not a certainty though and so thats why hes been waging a Charm Offensive hes been fighting republicans to the white house kind of to try and make sure that theyre on board backing him. Samberg Vice President of democracy and government reform at the center for American Progress my colleague finnegan spoke to him earlier and asked about the strength of the testimonies certainly in the explosive week of testimony that i think laid out a very clear case that the president hasnt committed impeachable offenses perhaps the the most shocking testimony came over wednesday and thursday 1st investor gordon somnolent who was trumps point person in ukraine basically saying that everyone was in on it the highest reaches of government were aware of what he was doing and signing off on it and then the next day with dr fiona hill coming to realization almost before our eyes that what she was doing namely running a process to protect American National security was not the primary focus in ukraine rather it was investor solomons efforts to obtain these investigations to help the president politically that was at least the white houses focus with respect to ukraine so given all of that why would the president through his spokesman say that he would welcome an impeachment trial in the senate while i think obviously any sort of statement by this white house has to be taken with a grain of salt but i think in part what you saw alluding to was remember the point of this was to try and join up investigations in order to help the president politically and what hes suggesting is hed like to use the senate to do just that basically to attack his political rivals through the guise of combating corruption israels Prime Minister says he will not step down after being charged with corruption offenses Benjamin Netanyahu has criticized investigators calling his indictment an attempted coup turning general charge netanyahu with bribery fraud and breach of trust and 3 cases harry fosset report so muster a slim. Israels president says his country is going through harsh and dark days hard to detect perhaps in the autumn sunshine in west jerusalem the talk to a few of those making the most of it in the shadow of this political crisis is never far away the country has to be skewered it carefully and responsibly and we know you no one questions how responsible that stewardship is going to be in the coming months here for the 1st time a sitting israeli Prime Minister has been indicted for crimes hes alleged to have carried out while in office but there are still plenty of israelis who agree with him that the case is politically motivated they dont like trump. That theyre going to get him just as the same thing with with bibi a lot people have enough of him where hes been there long enough thats it im not saying he is innocent not saying hes guilty in a sense israelis have got used over many months to the details of these indictments the case has been set out at some length so to theyve got used to netanyahu repeated attacks against the media and the legal establishment nonetheless what happened on thursday night was particularly stark and it sent a political shockwave through this country and through a system already stressed to breaking point no functioning government the prospect of a 3rd election and a Prime Minister attacking the legal establishment as he fights to stay in office could go on as one limiting the polluted investigation against me erodes the public faith in the system they should worry every citizen we have to put an end to this israeli newspapers have featured editorials urging netanyahu to resign for the good of the country some calling on senior members of his own likud party to engineer it its not a big chance or a big possibility but there might be some cracks within likud or cracks in the 55. 00 bloc of the right maybe because the indictment now is final maybe there will be some cracks there this this could be the political influence of this indictment whats clear is that netanyahu intends to fight off all challenges to his position be they legal or political and if theres one thing hes learned in his decades in israeli politics its how to survive a force that aljazeera west jerusalem. Probably safe to fessor International Law the Hebrew University of jerusalem i spoke to marley or and asked if and how they political stalemate in israel will affect that now his enticement its a sad day for israel the sitting Prime Minister was indicted or ever it proves that israel has a very impartial legal system and that nobody is above the law so in that sense although its a sad occasion israelis can be proud of their dish will system. Judicial systems grind very slowly so again he can claim immunity theyre the guy but hasnt yet been presented to court its a long long. As pressure on him to resign but so far he hasnt shown by medicines or any signs that hes willing to attend. And not only not showing any signs hes using language as lake like you know an attempted coup having the investigators investigated when you talk about the rule of law and the fact that in some ways its a sad day but you see that as a Silver Lining in that this is the rule of law. Are you troubled by him using that type of of language to sort of a demonize the judiciary somebody once accused you of being a dr jekyll and mr hyde in other words as a Prime Minister hes been very sober bay careful very cautious but when he comes his personal issues hes a bit hes spoken babe been addicted to nasty language so we had a little split personality the Prime Minister on Security Issues as been very careful and respected over but when it comes to his personal personal life it was a real problem the United Nations envoy for yemen has told the u. N. Security council that the number of attacks by the Saudi Led Coalition has dropped dramatically in recent weeks arent professors the reduction in violence could possibly pave the way for an end to the conflict in the last 2 weeks the rage of that war has dramatically reduced. They were reportedly almost 80 percent of strikes nationwide then in the 2 weeks prior and i realize the these are short periods but nonetheless it is striking and in recent weeks there have been entire 48 hour periods without strikes actual the 1st time since the conflict began we call this the escalation a reduction in the tempo of the wall and perhaps we hope a move towards an overall cease fire in yemen the u. S. Has imposed sanctions on irans and formation minister mohammad job as arias harami and accused him of widespread internet censorship of iran imposed online restrictions to common nationwide protests against fuel hikes thats government is one of hell against a court ruling that would force it to repatriate the children of eisel fighters earlier court in the hague had ruled that more than 50 children in the whole camp and Northern Syria should be brought back some with their mothers or higher court overturn the ruling saying repatriation was a political issue rather than a legal one. Still ahead on aljazeera. Was. The out. From a show of unity on a national day as protesters call for real and dependence last but the black market cards are what has killed people and made them sick so that to me is the biggest misconception. Yes to back up companies and says their products are safe as the government considers a ban. How rain and snow have been sweeping east through iran thats the latest systems is really were talking about afghanistan rather anywhere else behind it slow change taking place conversion to winter so still some potential snow as a version or the northwest of iran to irans hold on about 9 degrees this cloud might produce a few showers but its not quite like it was and behind it the moment rankers 13 in aleppo 17 at the clouds across the western side of turkeys moving eastwards. So at least cloud things up but nothing else appears to change immediately if anything does more in the west sunshine into iran on the southern caspian and south of all the things across and down as well as she has gone so terms have been rising around the gulf and in riyadh the still the light down the mountains of western saudi even through yemen and possibly long the coast of amman was a breeze there says so were picks up for a while there on both saturday and sunday the horn of africa receives big showers to further saswata start an active night in botswana since we caught a few showers on the satellite picture south africa the picture looks fine from space on the forecast shows one of 2 shows need to happen. An alaskan village rapidly losing ground to the road falling permafrost its inhabitants forced to move to safer ground below in the western pacific kristie environment one at risk when it says a witness finds people struggling to cope with rising sea there and asked whether those who have the power to stop it appreciate the true cost of failing to act on aljazeera. Watching out a serial in the top stories right now iraqi Security Forces have shot 3 protesters dead in baghdad protest against corruption unemployment and Poor Public Services began in early october israels Prime Minister says corruption charges against him are a coup attempt Benjamin Netanyahu is facing bribery fraud and breach of trust allegations president tom trump says the impeachment inquiry is a sham he insists hes done nothing wrong and would welcome a trial in the senate if the house voted to impeach. After years of protests and political turmoil voters and anybody sour hoping sundays president ial election will finally to pace i dont rallies are being held to the incumbent as a mario vos wants another term despite failing to stabilize the economy and the west african nation and deal with a growing in legal drug trade but he says he will respect the result even if he loses joins us live from the capital this hour so whats the atmosphere like. Over so weve been following this election for about a week in this by the political turmoil its an atmosphere of carnival it and then if you can see right behind me theres music pumping theres people Wearing Masks dressing. And really an atmosphere of celebration why well because this by the political crisis people still believe in the political system many young people went out. In these campaigns were here in the final Campaign Rally theres just about 6 hours left for those 12 counted aides. To wrap up their campaign before the vote that will take on sunday will be a break over the weekend and so its been attended by thousands of people here it is the reality of domingo should more spirit the leader of the g. C. The Biggest Political Party in the country and he has been at odds with president chose a vase maria we see to be the one that has been blocking the situation here that has been causing this political deadlock because over the course of the 5 years he has dismissed 8 governments hes overstayed his time in power and what that means in practice is that no laws has been voted no budgets have been approved and in a country where most people live on less than 2 dollars a day well international juno donors has refused to hand out bailouts and help to this population and so thats why richelle this country in particular thats on the edge of west africa has been particularly attractive to colombian venezuelan drug dealers who funnel their their drugs cocaine here in Guinea Bissau and then send it to europe just in the in the last 2 months weve seen 2 big seizures 2 tons of cocaine at that was seized in a month ago and a few months ago in march of 1 ton of cocaine in the past 5 years under tools of our body of oz theres been 25 tons of cocaine that have been seized in this country but theres much more that has not been season so Law Enforcement agency like the drug Enforcement Agency the anti drug Enforcement Agency the American DrugEnforcement Agency calls this country africas 1st narco state so a lot at stake during this election michel ok and i ok mr Nicholas Hawke and the south thank you.
