Refuses to say when the articles to the senate for trial. Well theres been a shooting attack in moscow near the headquarters of the f. S. B. Security service lets go straight now to moscow and our correspondent step vasant step what more do we know at this stage 3 people dead. Its still unclear how many many people have died there was indeed a shooting incident at the lubyanka the headquarters of the secret Service Agency here in moscow its not clear exactly where these attackers were there are some media reports that they actually went inside the building but others say they were outside of the building there has been reports also also confirmed by police that it were using machine guns kalashnikovs has been mentioned and also those streets now have completely been cordoned off in that area around lubyanka area to make sure that the people who are still in their side and the police is doing this ongoing operation is also saw some unconfirmed reports that some of the attackers might have been shot that as well by police but. Said its still ongoing information is still pretty sketchy here but interestingly this just comes a few hours after a lot of you put in the finished his annual press conference in which he was asked what was the most negative most distressing event during his 20 years in power and he mentioned is this terrorist attack in beslan where more than 300. 00 people mostly children died of course we have no idea at this stage if this is also related to any kind of attack but russia of course has seen quite a number of attacks in the past but the last big attack we can say was the one at this in petersburg metro in 2017 most recently there has not been any big attack and the Russian Police has always said that they have been managed to prevent many attacks every year mostly because there were attraction related to attack us but also i still it has been a very prominent here in russia as well steadfast in our correspondent in moscow well be bringing you much more on that as we get it thank you step. Well lets go to lebanon now where the president has just designated former minister of education. As the next Prime Minister for more on this lets bring in tony bakley who is live for us in beirut tony a win here for the hezbollah led alliance who nominated him in the 1st place. Yes its quite a surprise to many people because he didnt even feature until late yesterday so he was outside the normal sphere of candidates that weve proposed having said that a sizable bloc of m. P. s many of the sunday bloc did not nominate him did not vote for him they walked away from this without a nomination and if thats the 1st time in in 988 years that the sunni bloc will not take part in the government as it as it stands so thats quite a shock as well people saying its because they didnt feel that mr de represented the crosssection needed in the government considering the Current Situation and you know the demonstrations in the protests that were going on now within 2 months have been quite violent people want a complete overhaul of the lebanese political system they dont feel that mr diaz is the man to lead that. Well tony where do we go from here because if the sunni bloc is leaving and the entire political system is built around different parts of the different sectarian and parties taking over different positions what happens to the political system more broadly if theyre refusing to accept them. Well it has a recipe for further chaos thats for sure squaring up to be sort of us versus shiite because a lot of consternation about whats going to happen with a sunny bloc an opposition with a block everything will they cause problems will the frustrations from that situation go to the street will that carry on what will the outside players do we got sort of what lots of outside influence here from israel from the United States from iran from syria so theres considerable concern about where we go from here if theres not a government that represents a true crosssection what will happen you have to remember also the United States is watching this situation very closely david hale the undersecretary for political. View is coming to the lebanon fairly soon now they had sanctions against 2 hezbollah m. P. s earlier this year so. May even step up sanctions what will happen then what was a rome do in response and also you have the severing situation in the south of the country with a border with israel so theres lots of potential 2 year for a cactus catastrophic reaction to this election some people are feeling maybe even back to the old days of violence that its a long way ahead the still a lot of horse trading to go to this government up so its not over and done with by any means yet clearly a lot more chaos lies ahead tony betty there for us in beirut thank you tony well libyas u. N. Recognized government says it will accept an offer of military support from turkey the tripoli based administration is fighting an offensive by warlord Khalifa Haftar whose forces are trying to capture the capital schools in the Southern District of abu salim in tripoli has now been suspended and the Authorities Say its because of sporadic fighting and shelling by huffed as forces would otherwise head is live for us in tripoli must we saw this offensive began back in april but now were seeing this escalation and fighting talk us through the situation on the ground there at the moment. Well the situation on the ground is still very tense as the ongoing fighting. Is not getting any less than the since the beginning of the fighting get that started back in april but since i have to announce it or declared the last a week ago there has been ongoing good heavy fighting in southern tripoli between have those forces and others loyal to the government of National Accord but on the other hand today in tripoli the government of National Accord met with the military commanders with the volcano of wrath operation thats the counter military offensive to defend the capital tripoli against have those forces and now the government it stated that it has accepted the offer by the turkish president of the on to send weapons and logistics to the d. N. A. The government of national called to defend the capital of tripoli against have to forces now remember the government says that despite the fact that libya is under arms embargo since 2011 but the government says its the only libyan institution which is entitled to import weapons according to the United NationsSecurity Council resolution also now we learned from government officials that the military end was just a corporation from expected from turkey into air ground and sea. Defense weapons so were expecting that the common good day is this will witness is collation especially with. Getting news that turkey might support of provide the d. N. A. With the advance of air Defense Systems and also advances fighter jets. Well what i had there for us in tripoli thank you mom arms. On u. S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is speaking right now on capitol hill the day after President Donald Trump was impeached lets listen in Higher Education institutions that deal with our native American Population its very important we sent it that did pass and that is on its way to get to the president so with that we. Said to my members when i say to you that all the time they were directly h. And recreate are the same words. They had they spelled the same and they mean something the same when you recreate the new rest of the with your family you are recreate it to come back for the discussions and debates to head as we go into the future and if we go into the future again we are inspired by our founders the 33rd assume from anyone from anyone a matter of what our diplomat was nancy pelosi there speaking on capitol hill lets bring you a little more on the impeachment story and the top u. S. Senate republican leader Mitch Mcconnell has denounced what he called an unfair house impeachment of president on the trunk the opposition to impeachment was bipartisan only one part of one faction one of those out on the house is conduct recess deeply damaged during the institutions of American Government this particular house of representatives has led its partisan rage at this particular president great a toxic new precedent that will echo well into the future. Well Senate Minority leader Chuck Shaimaa also addressed the house where he took aim at the president and the republicans defending him leader mcconnell claimed that democrats impeach the president for asserting executive privilege President Trump never formally claimed executive privilege he claimed quote absolute immunity unquote and the white House Counsel wrote a letter simps dating simply that the administration would not comply with any subpoenas we ask is the president s case so weak that none of the president s men can defend him under oath. Well lets bring in mike hanna now whos on capitol hill for us mike this era very bitter partisanship has now resulted for the 1st time in history the impeachment of a president featuring no votes from the man of the Minority Party the republicans in the house so where are we at now in terms of unity and when it comes to both parties and is there a deadlock is there a way to move forward here. When it seems that theres an absolutely era tractable deadlock in terms of the partisan nature of this whole process which is beam since its inception since the house committees began investigating possible articles of impeachment against the president throughout the vote and throughout the drafting of these articles of impeachment it has been done most of the case on purely partisan basis even in the vote on impeachments only 3 democrats did not vote for all those articles of impeachment so the issue remains completely partisan base Senate Majority leader making very clear that he wants a very quick trial in the Senate Making very clear to that he will be guided by white House Counsel the democrats insisting that they want witnesses they wanted least all witnesses during the senate trial people who they subpoenaed earlier who the white house refused to appear before the house committees to give evidence in this particular case relating to the articles of impeachment so it is at a complete deadlock at present nancy pelosi the speaker of the house having said in the last few minutes that she still certain that they can get some agreement in the senate the Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer saying as well that hes offered reasonable conditions which involve for witnesses and time limits and all the speakers but the senate is majority leader Mitch Mccarthy and Mitch Connell unlike what he did 2 decades ago during the clinton impeachment is insisting that there will be no witnesses during the senate trial. Well the fact that republicans have the majority in the senate means that unless some of them break ranks that will remain the case mike theres still now a huge amount of uncertainty about when this senate trial might take place and we are hearing from nancy pelosi but how much leverage does she have at the moment well thats a very interesting question when completely Uncharted Waters here now the House Speaker has decided to withhold the articles of impeachment to let becomes completely clear how it is going to play out in the senate she has not even started discussion about who will be the house managers thats essentially prosecution for the house in presenting the case in the senate she is hoping and other democrats are hoping that this will form a point of leverage that the republicans will get tired of waiting for the articles of impeachment to come before they can commence a trial however Mitch Mcconnell making very clear hes not going to be phased either way by this so we are in a situation that is virtually a Holding Pattern how long can the House Speaker refuse to hand over those articles of impeachment how long will the senate wait not knowing when this trial is going to begin knowing as well that both houses are still got a legislative program to follow so very much a Holding Pattern at the moment with no sign whatsoever that either side is going to give way on what are utterly intractable positions at this particular point heading into an Election Year to mike hanna there for us on capitol hill thank you mike. Well still ahead on aljazeera violence in india where opponents of a controversial new dont defy government efforts to crack down on launch protests.

The fact. More of focus on the planet and one that could soon be lost forever with an International Team of scientists is determined not to let that happen without intervention. I would say to you about just now its a race against time to try and save a species. Like a crisis thats in the motions theyve all extinction. Youre watching aljazeera reminder of our top stories former Education Minister house india has been named lebanons a new Prime Minister president michel aoun hosted consultations with deputies to pick the new premier who must be a sunni muslim under the countrys sectarian power sharing system. At least 3 people have been killed in a shooting attack and moscow near the headquarters of the f. S. B. Security said this Russian Police a machine guns were used the area has now been cordoned off. And u. S. President donald trump has been impeached by the house for alleged abuse of power and obstruction of congress but Speaker Nancy Pelosi has turned on 70 on to the next steps by refusing to say when the obstacles to the steps. All democratic president ial hopefuls who want to rip a star will trump will face off in a debate on thursday by the session is likely to be overshadowed by that impeachment process has a preview from los angeles. And then there were so the once crowded field of democrats debating their way to the nomination has been whittled down as once promising candidates dropped out and others failed to qualify for the debate stage due to low Holding Numbers and flagging Campaign Contributions overall the race remains static former Vice President joe biden leads the pack with left wing senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren along with centrist indiana mayor peter judge john. For 2nd place joe biden has shown an extraordinary resilience. Hes taken a number of hits in the press and he continues to lead the field nationally. And i think thats because people feel comfortable with the idea of him and as the democrat who would take on donald trump one of the candidates who failed to qualify senator cory booker complained about lack of diversity in the debate which will be held on the campus of Loyola Marymount university booker called on the party to loosen its rules another candidate who wont be on stage is billionaire former new york mayor Mike Bloomberg who is self financing his campaign and spending tens of millions of dollars on Television Ads across the country are. Problem some veteran Democratic Campaign manager robert shrum says 2nd tier candidates could still break out of the pack or you cant have an artificial breakout moment it has to fit who you are it has to make sense in terms of the kind of person you are it has to be authentic it cant be just a line made up designed to punch through looming over all else is the impeachment of President Donald Trump some pundits say impeachment will help trump in 2020 by energizing his base but others arent so sure about that conventional wisdom they see many voters turning against him you know what the clearest signal its going to hurt trump is how fiercely trump is fighting against it all the time in ways that i think are self destructive the debate could preview how democrats may seek to use trumps impeachment as a political weapon robert oulds al jazeera los angeles.
