Now the white house says it will not take part in the next step of the impeachment inquiry into donald trump the us president had been given until sunday to confirm whether or not hed send legal representatives to a hearing on wednesday the white house says it will respond separately about a 2nd hearing which has a friday deadline the u. S. President is accused of us can ukraine to investigate political rival joe biden and biden son in exchange for military aid but its been a busy week and it will be a busy week ahead for the impeachment inquiry and members of the House Intelligence Committee are due to receive a copy of the impeachment report later on monday that will outline the findings of its investigation into trumps dealings with ukraine theyll have 24 hours to review that report and then theyll be a vote on tuesday afternoon to move it forward to the next stage that being proceedings in the House Judiciary Committee which will consider any articles of impeachment against President Trump but our correspondent roslyn jordan is in washington d. C. And she tells us more about those days ahead. The House Judiciary Committee will be having this open session on wednesday morning here in washington and thats going to be about 12 hours or so after the House Intelligence Committee actually decides to vote to send the river results as if 2 week long public hearings to the Judiciary Committee now there is this deadline at 22 g. M. T. On friday where the president s legal team will need to tell the House Judiciary Committee if theyre going to be taking part in hearings that the Judiciary Committee will be convening not tomorrow on monday here in washington but starting a week from monday and that is another opportunity which House Democrats say will give the president the opportunity to tell his side to bring in witnesses to present evidence as this inquiry continues but it is widely expected here in washington that the white house will once again wait until late on friday to say that theyre not going to participate because at least from a political standpoint they are now making the argument that the entire process is fraudulent and that this is nothing more than the democrats trying to undermine the president s efforts at being reelected in 2020. Now the search for a new Prime Minister in iraq has begun after the resignation of he and his cabinet weeks of protests against his government have left more than 400 people dead demonstrators are still calling for a total overhaul of the entire political establishment similar faults and reports from the capital. After only 13 months in office iraqs a battles Prime Minister addle of the mahdi has officially stepped down yet his succession is mired in uncertainty according to the constitution the president is supposed to take up the office of the Prime Minister until a replacement is chosen but instead of the mahdi is staying on as part of a caretaker government. The largest bloc in Parliament Led by shiite cleric mokhtar the outsider must now nominate a replacement within 15 days 6 its a murky and often lengthy process that requires consent from shia sunni and kurdish parties as well as regional and global power brokers. More than ever the choice would have to be accepted on the streets its a daunting task for Political Parties put himself space the wrath of the protestors the harm of course our own hold. With the biggest block based on the last parliamentary election we have to nominate a candidate form a government with guidance from outside we will cancel sectarian and political appointments system to give the right to the protesters because the people are the largest bloc and the demonstrations are where the sacrifice has been made the candidate of the people will be a choice as well. But in a lot of peoples choice would require fresh elections a key demand of the protesters we want to do so all of this government. Believed in you tears. Government or just say that to. Make. Sure for their cause. Politics parties Parliament Members say that passing these reforms could take up to 6 months we fully accept and fully support the idea of dissolve in the parliament and having a fresh election but that you have to know that this there are costs to stop or seizures 1st we have to go with it we need a government even an interim government a government before holding the elections at this week we are discussing even way past that new electoral law. Which is overseeing the elections in iraq the new election law currently tabled in parliament suggests an increase in independent candidates at least considerable power in the hands of Political Parties including the ability to choose the Prime Minister. Protos just say that this resignation is meaningless if they cannot choose the next leader themselves they demand a president ial rather than a parliamentary system whereby the head of state is elected by popular vote a demand that has thus far been ignored by the political establishment see one of 14 aljazeera baghdad. Fears and mounting a large taney of that hard earned democratic gains might be reversed they follow a sudden dispute between 2 Army Generals have been ruling the country for years now marvell reports from the capital. President mohammed and his predecessor Mohammed Abdul aziz are long time friends who staged coups together since 2005. As hes old as president. Then minister of defense when as hes completed his terms in office he supported the candidacy of us when he was elected in doing what their alliance came to a sudden and last week. Backed by a few loyalists as hes wanted to leave the ruling party for the public which he founded 10 years ago as well his supporters injected the move which they describe as an attempt by the former president to sneak back to power. Our position as majority in the Administrative Committee reinforces that this is the party of the government so it should be run by the sitting president. Not literally but in consultation with all Party Members as the former president as you can pursue is in bishan within the party like any other member but he cant have a special status. This is the 1st fragmentation within the ruling party since its inception we now have 2 sides one owns a majority of 22 members in the Administrative Committee the other owns the leadership of the party. Fears of a serious escalation increased after the arrest of the commander of the president ial guard and his deputy to loyalists of the former president as the country celebrated the anniversary of its independence rumors spread out about a failed coup attempt. The sudden reappearance of the former president on the political scene coincided with the launch of a foreign power play by the new Government People say the former president should be brought to justice for corruption and abuse of power. The fact that theyve reached this point now Means Nothing will stand in the way of reform. Despite that hope tension remains and theres uncertainty over what the next move of the former president might be. President ial election there has been speculation as to who is really running things in this president ial compound behind me some have said that president mohammed was whiny might be under the influence of his predecessor but that has turned out to be wrong in a clear break with his predecessors antagonistic policies president as when he made peace with all opposition leaders and invited them to work with the government for the public good but there are fears that both the reforms and the National Consensus thats being built may well be disrupted if the present crisis isnt solved.
