I dont trump will become just the 4th u. S. President to face formal impeachment charges House Speaker nancy pelosi says he abused his power by withholding military aid to pressure ukraine into investigating democratic rival joe biden a vote is expected in the next couple of weeks setting up a fight in the senate on whether to remove trump from office how do you know castro reports from washington. Its official sadly that with confidence and humility with allegiance to our founders and heart full of love for America Today i am asking our chairman to proceed with articles of impeachment. Donald trump will become the 4th president in u. S. History to face formal impeachment charges that could remove him from office 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 the white house says democrats are abusing their power and lying to the American People are you referring to the right of way agent my money or legacy. Reza hoax its a hoax and some big fat 0 s. Now with the big question in washington is what these articles of impeachment will be a report by the House Intelligence Committee makes a case for abuse of power and of struction of congress stemming from the ukraine investigation but then there are still those lingering concerns from the earlier russia investigation. In july special counsel Robert Muller told congress that while there was no evidence trump had colluded with russia to win the 2016 election there may be grounds that he obstructed justice and what about total exoneration if you actually totally exonerate the prez you know for mullers appearance had little impact and the very next day trump told the president of ukraine over the phone that muller had quote a poor performance then according to the call transcript trump asked for an investigation into his political rival constitutional scholars called by democrats have testified that trumps impeachable offenses go beyond the ukraine phone call call i think the way you need to ask about this is how does it fit into the pattern of behavior by the president republicans counter democrats have been trying to remove trump since the day he took office theyve always wanted to impeach the president why. Im at their words watching at their actions watching what they have done the democratic majority in the house will likely vote to impeach trent before christmas then the senate dominated by the president s own party will put trump state on trial in the new here.

Citizens were killed by suspected gang members mauritanias government says it will investigate possible Trafficking Networks after 63. 00 migrants drowned off the coast more than 80 survivors managed to swim to shore after their boat capsized but were described as exhausted and starving it is the worst loss of life this year along the western atlantic route to europe. Another group is thought to have left a brain jewel in gambia a week ago heading north their boat found it off the coast of northern mauritania route 25 kilometers north of the able it is believed they were trying to make their way north along the coast to eventually reach europe through spain the number of crossings on the socalled western route have risen the European Union says more than 21000 people have come that way so far this year another 11000 use the central route heading towards italy and greece from libya while the largest number more than 60000 have taken the eastern route from turkey to greece mohamed vall is in new york shot mauritanias capital about 83. 00 people managed to swim to the shore and they were found by the military Police Outside the Northern City of and why they were that was the early evening hours yesterday those people gave more news about what happened that boat capsized off the shore. And thats after about 10 days being stranded there running out of fuel and so on so they gave more details and scores of people at least dozens of people are still missing they are supposed to be of course dead women and children where on that boat coming from gambia the majority of the migrants were from the country of gambia lots of small nation west africa one of those poor countries that supply this migration turned into words drop the story is still unfolding those people who escaped are being treated in and why do we dont have much information about whats happening to the bodies are they going to return them to their countries of origin or are they going to be buried in and itself. Allana doyle is from the International Organization for migration he says people are being exploited by smugglers but i think we can fairly assume that this is the result of nancy where the vessel overcrowded as were learning or 150 people who are out of fuel so it speaks really to the callousness of the smugglers the smuggling operation will of course make their money already and disappeared into the wilderness and i think thats basically the problem here is that youre being exploited well one can imagine that theyre deeply traumatized and are stopped are you as you rightly say are there arent any authorities where people will be will leave for medical care and then really to establish like where whats their origin that we understand that the from the gambia and try to help them return in a in a dignified way as possible and when that actually it will all of this is that theres no happy solution for people who take these routes once and especially when things like this happen they are actually end up back where they started and the only winner is this mother of hundreds of thousands of people across france are taking part in one of its largest strikes by workers in jez protests turned violent in some cities would demonstrate as angry at president emanuel microns planned Pension Reforms and tasha butler reports from the capital paris.
