Disruptions to transport Network Schools and hospitals and some of them have turned violent get the latest from parents. Im burnt off its good to have you with us the speaker of the u. S. House of representatives nancy pelosi says shes ready to draft articles of impeachment against the president the announcement marks the culmination of months of inquiries into whether president abused his office in his dealings with ukraine and hes accused of having held up military aid to kiev in exchange for an investigation into democratic president ial candidate joe biden Speaker Pelosi says that transactions have threatened the heart of the u. S. Constitution. The president has engaged in abuse of power undermining our National Security and jeopardizing the integrity of our elections his actions in defiance of the vision of our founders and the oath of office that he takes to preserve protect and defend the constitution of the state. But with competence and humility with allegiance to our founders and hearts full of love for America Today and you know me to proceed with articles of impeachment i commend Committee Chairs and i members there are approach to actions which i wish the president had not me necessary where you could definitely hear the sadness there and suppose these voices take the story to washington our correspondent. Is in washington good evening to you public so what does this announcement mean right now for you as president will draw hi brenda loves its not good news for President Trump you wouldnt get that impression that from his series of tweets today but before we get to that what it means now is that the process is moving forward quite swiftly whats going to happen is that the articles of impeachment are being prepared its expected that the theyll be debated next week by the Judiciary Committee and then whatll happen is that that it will pass on to the house of representatives where at theyll be voted on by the members of congress and then its expected that they will be approved and theyll be passed on to the senate for the impeachment trial which should take place in january of next year so you know in a matter of weeks were talking about here this is happening very quickly on what basis could the president be impeached. Well at the moment you know where it hasnt been obviously announced what exactly those articles of impeachment will be but we do have some pretty good indicators considering you know the investigations which have been taking place and also some of the language thats being used just by you know even see there one of those articles could be abuse of power by President Trump he put his own personal political gain over National Security and bribery is another one that could be amongst those articles referring to the withholding of 400000000. 00 of military aid which had actually been approved by Congress Already and another one is obstruction of congress so you know were talking about very serious articles of impeachment terror but like i said President Trump is defiant in. The u. S. Constitution dictates that this impeachment proceeding begin to take place is a sad day for the United States. What about the Republican Party has there been any reaction from the party concerning where this is go. Yeah youre absolutely right i mean obviously from the democrats you mentioned there for nancy pelosi its a good representation of the feeling amongst them it they say its a very sad day but democrats and in particular i think what we need to do is focus on the president from. A couple of times what his reaction has been its defiance and im going to read some of what he said and his series of tweets and he said they already they referring to the democrats gave up on the ridiculous miller stuff so now they hang their hats on 2 totally appropriate perfect phone calls with the ukrainian president this will mean that beyond important and seldom used active impeachment will be used routinely to attack future president s and this is not what our founders had in mind hes referring to obviously what you know nancy pelosi had said in her statement where she referred several times to the founders of the United States. Port and it is to proceed with the impeachment trial but the republicans you know have been standing pretty firm. Standing behind president despite the fact that there have been many grumblings and amongst you know senior members included of the Republican Party but theyre standing with the president so it will be interesting to see what happens in the trial in the senate in january rather. Than more if you. Probably think you.

Staying here in europe france says comes to a standstill thanks to a general strike Public Sector workers joined mass protests against president emanuel microns plans to reform the pension systems a day rail travel schools and hospitals were seriously disrupted and some of the protests turned. A sea of strikers its the largest mobilization across france in decades this time its all about Pension Reforms for future generations. Pension its a can already barely afford to eat.

He said then the ship i might retire myself in 10 years time and im not sure ill be able to survive on what mccall is proposing its not simple. However by thursday afternoon scenes from Paris City Center showed increasing violence groups of protesters smashed store windows and clashed with police among them members often anarchist groups the socalled black bloc the violence made visible to frustration many strike supporters feel with the french governments. They keep it off that is the good news is they want to say dani thats who is the one class who paid the price for the cuts on acceptable thats a fact if theres money then the people in power like capitalists have to pay it off they know how to find money for not dom deals theyve turned the world upside down and they want us to pay even but we dont agree with that you went on in the political. The general strike was called by trade unions to protest the governments plans for pension reform. Many fear it would increase their work time and reduce their pensions to strike has received widespread support. Several forces united today with its really big terrace students nurses and doctors lawyers and yellow vests like me the geezer. Unions say they might extend the strike as far as monday. Or earlier we spoke to our correspondent lisa lewis and we asked her if president should be worried about a repeat of the prolonged 1995 strikes that sold the Government Back down when it trying to reform pensions. Well hes of the fright that that might happen again its crucial for him to push through the pension reform its one of the centerpieces of what he was running on on the platform he was running on when being elected for president says he is afraid that this might happen again and it looks like the government is that open to negotiations with the protest says he doesnt want to give up on the main piece he doesnt want to give up on that hes in no 42 systems into one but this seems to be some leeway for negotiation. Armed forces now the firestorm over race created by this headline in an italian sports newspaper it reads black friday my colleague Chris Harrington of sports is here to say that theyre not talking about shopping deals on the day after thanksgiving in the United States are they grow yeah absolutely not bring you know basically what this is is a match previewing the flight between and to milan and roma black they decided to use 2 black footballers on the front pages well now we all know is Society Black has a negative connotation in many different ways black ball black listed the one positive way is the way we would interpret black friday shopping deals and so forth but you know when i see this in this particular context i personally was highly offended you know because i think people would say that its obvious theyre referring to the race of the skin color of the the players but whats been the reaction to this book condemnation you know from everywhere except you know one you know the 1st was a football against racism in europe this is an organization obviously speaks for itself what theyre involved in we have you know what they said now the media fuels racism every day. And i can understand that because there are some trigger words they used to associate to some black athletes calling them gifted god gifted where the white athletes are hard working yes or sometimes you have to read between the lines to really pick up on it you know but there was another outraise individual and i jerry and sports journalist and he wanted to know who the editor of this publication was because he couldnt really understand and wrap his head around the idea that how they dont know this is a racist inappropriate headline and then he went on to basically paint the whole society of italy with the Broad Strokes say the country doesnt have the capacity to deal with this problem and it is a big problem what does that mean you know the craziest thing about this is you would think when you are informed youve offended someone thats an opportunity to backpedal you know well the newspaper didnt do that they actually double down on the head lie you know and they went on to say that it was a celebration of diversity and you know they had a pretty lengthy a comment and here were looking at this now for those who want to and can understand it so its only praising that difference the difference of black athletes in the white athletes that for some strange reason our picture in the headlines you know but the one thing that caught my eye really is. Its transformed into a poison by those who have poison in them and you know i cant really understand that i mean the unmitigated gall of that newspaper to publish such a headline its really disgusting well italy we we know we does not have a great track record regarding race and football no not at all just wilcock who is one player featured here from the player he himself when he 1st arrived to syria he was on the receiving end of monkey chants and so on and then the Organization Also organization came out sent him an open letter saying no its not racist its to show respect you know one thing which is obviously ridiculous but one thing the syria considering to do is shutting off the microphones so the players cant pick up the audible chants and sounds kind of a way to mute the problem so they dont hear what say exactly so they dont hear you know but i dont think this problem is going anywhere i read a report where the youth Football Players 19 year olds are painting their faces black to show solidarity with black athletes you know i think there are some serious Cultural Diversity programs native you know its unfortunate but these boundaries of respect you know when you go outside these boundaries someones got its happy on the shoulder and pull you back in and say youre being offensive and you want to be open and understand point out Something Like that when its on the front page of a newspaper definitely chris is always thank you ok well after making it one of the main goals of his administration has succeeded in reducing americas trade deficit but it may not be all good news how many are will have that and other Business News in just a moment youre watching d.
