House of representatives has delivered the articles of impeachment against donald trump to the Senate Making him the 3rd leader to face such proceedings in American History it follows a vote in the democratic controlled house with 7 members have been assigned as managers of the trial i did jocasta has more from capitol hill. Inside the locus are the articles of impeachment documents accusing President Donald Trump of abusing his power in obstructing congress the 7 newly ordained impeachment prosecutors follow democratic members of the house who will argue that trump should be removed from office the president is not above the law he will be held accountable he has been held accountable he has been in huge the senates reception of the articles marks the beginning of the trial phase of crumbs impeachment the 100. 00 u. S. Senators will soon be sworn in as jurors with arguments to Begin Next Week republicans hold the majority in the senate and their leader Mitch Mcconnell has voiced strong opposition to the impeachment if the senate blesses this unprecedented and diverse house process by agreeing to complete case at a subject of business or enough to impeach a president. We will almost guarantee the impeachment of every future president of either party. Like that bird trump is only the 3rd president in u. S. History to be impeached he denies the allegations that he withheld u. S. Security aid to ukraine in order to pressure ukraines president Volodymyr Zelinsky to announce an investigation into joe biden new evidence continues to emerge in the case on tuesday impeachment investigators released Text Messages and notes from an associate of trumps private attorney Rudy Giuliani get the linsky to announce that the biden case will be investigated wrote the associate who had been dispatched to ukraine and in a letter addressed to the president of ukraine giuliani says he is acting with trumps knowledge and consent witnesses may tell the truth and witnesses may not tell the truth documents joe generally like whether the new documents or potential new witnesses will play a role in trumps trial is an open question the president s defenders say no the polling shows the majority of americans think senators should hear new evidence in order to have a fair trial the senate is on trial as well as the president does the senate conduct the trial according to the constitution to vindicate the republic or does the senate participate in the president s crimes by covering them up at least 4 republican senators would need to agree to open the trial to new witnesses thats possible but the odds for conviction and remove all are much steeper support from 20 Senate Republicans will be required to make that happen but a historic trial of a president is now guaranteed heidi joe castro aljazeera washington. Well i dont know franco is a republican strategist and hes joining us live from washington d. C. We appreciate your time so thank you very much indeed we heard Senate Republican leader Mitch Mcconnell there saying that the senate the trial should avoid factionalism and so on how concerned are republicans that if that factionalism if partisanship does appear jaring these proceedings then if President Trump is acquitted then voters may not regard him as being completely cleared of the charges. Well there are 2 facets to this and we just heard congress and say the senate will be on trial of the house is also on trial in the American People already have i think expressed deep concerns about a flawed partisan process in the house 2 things happen in the house that are unprecedented in our history our brief history on impeachment 1st it was a wholly partisan exercise although Speaker Pelosi said 9 months ago and needed to be bipartisan it was quite the contrary not one republican support of this effort and some democrats opposed it secondly its the 1st time we have an impeachment an accusation its an indictment of a president without an underlying crime abuse of office and misuse of office and maladministration are not crimes you might disagree with the president style the way he handled the ukrainian affair but it is not a federal crime and thats what the constitution calls for so its been exposed as a wholly partisan exercise the challenge in the senate now is if there is pressure to bring witnesses i dont know wont be just the witnesses the democrats are calling for but that we also the potential to have mr biden senator biden and his son and others testify so the witness route will be a very precarious one for democrats if they pursue it in the run up to the proceedings that we saw on the wednesday of course the democrats were releasing more documents was very gods to the ukraine affair how concerned should the white house in the Republican Party be that more of this evidence may appear. Well 2 things about the documents have appeared 1st of all there are documents generated in large measure by mr parnassus who is a former associate of mr Giuliani Rudolph Giuliani the president s personal lawyer who has already committed perjury is an unreliable witness the democrats in the house recognize that is so so his credibility is in question secondly the socalled new evidence does not implicate the president might have been associates of the president s that have wanted to pursue the matter of an investigation of the bidens but also this is a a route that would take testimony then from mr biden and his son because most of these allegations have to do with bristol which is the Energy Company in ukraine so again this shows the very partisan nature this has been driven our country for 3 years has been polarized by a hatred of donald trump and doing Everything Possible to discredit him as their speaker has said he will be impeached forever this is an effort to tarnish him during the deal lection and hopefully have a democratic advantage how concerned are you that voters in the run up to the election are not completely understanding the implications and the definition of impeachment and also the charges that the president is facing. Well thats an excellent question the 2 previous pietschmann i lived through both of them the nixon impeachment had to do with a burglary and a cover up of it everybody understood that in this country the clinton impeachment had to do with an affair with an intern and its appropriate this matter has to do with the conduct of Foreign Policy bureaucrats and other appointees saying that the president s conduct was irregular although he can conduct the Foreign Policy the United States as he sees fit most americans can identify what the issues are and again theres no allegation of any crime therefore this particular effort has more potential to be known and expressed as the political impeachment of a president the President Trump refers to it as impeachment light and the best evidence of the country is moving in a different direction is today stock market in United States reached record highs under normal political crisis of these types the stock market would have reacted very negatively so the country seems to be obey livias to this and to the extent that i think people Pay Attention to it they see it for what it is a political trick Adolfo Franco thanks for joining us analogies here thank you thank you so much what one of the people who could be pivotal during Donald Trumps impeachment trial is the man whos going to preside over its u. S. Supreme court chief Justice John Roberts even though his task is mondays it by the u. S. Constitution domestic politics could complicate his role both during the trial and in his day job also in jordan explains. John roberts has been the u. S. Supreme court chief justice for more than 15 years the upcoming impeachment trial of u. S. President donald trump will test roberts efforts to stay impartial i dont think hes going to you know put up with many shenanigans here and many bogus defenses while some think roberts could play an active role he could issue subpoenas he can make rulings. And his rulings would have to be overturned by 51 senators so republicans would have to hold their lines pretty strongly the fact is roberts role is more ceremonial than pivotal hell read senators questions outloud and he may analyze whether various bits of evidence should be presented however its the senators who will decide what evidence to introduce or which witnesses can testify not roberts and more important its the senators who will decide whether to convict analysts say roberts will move carefully he doesnt want to be seen as favoring one side or the other in a political brawl but might also influence roberts is trial performance his day job critics have attacked roberts both for supporting president Barack Obamas Health Care Program and for defending the right of corporations to spend unlimited amounts of money on political campaigns and this year roberts will have to weigh in on trumps financial records abortion rights and the possible deportation of the some 700000 young people known as dreamers congratulations mr president. Then theres the dust up between the president and the chief justice after trump accused a federal judge of bias back in 2018 this was an obama judge roberts did the unthinkable he fired back we do not speak for the people but we speak for the constitution our role is very clear. We are to interpret the constitution and laws of the United States and ensure that the political branches act within them trump then attacked roberts on twitter its not too much to assume that if the senate convicts tromp he will lash out at everyone including at the chief justice who presided over his impeachment trial rosalyn jordan aljazeera Washington Well as the late his stage of the trump impeachment was unfolding the u. S. And china signed the 1st phase of a new trade deal which will see china buy more American Goods china is committed to buying an additional 200000000000. 00 worth of u. S. Goods and services by 2021 asians are also expected to remove some of the tower of its placed on the u. S. Products but they agreement keeps in place american targets and 360000000000. 00 worth of chinese goods until further negotiations with donald trump says the agreement delivers Economic Justice for the us together we are righting the wrongs of the past and delivering a future of Economic Justice and security for American Workers farmers and families i want to thank president xi who is watching as we speak can be going over to china in the not too distant future our negotiations were tough honest open and respectful leading us to this really incredible breakthrough most people thought this could never happen should have happened 25 years ago by the way but thats ok. Stock markets in asia are opening for the 1st time since the signing of phase one of the u. S. China trade deal katrina you standing by for us in beijing with reaction from the region 1st lets go to mike hanna live in washington d. C. Mike the president obviously very enthusiastic about this deal but is everybody welcoming it in the way he is. Well theres been a lot of criticism of this particular deal bearing in mind that as the president said it is phase one of what is intended to be a multiparty deal the most prominent criticism is the fact that it doesnt address what is the basic problem of the economic relationship between the u. S. And china and that is chinese control or chinese subsidies for Chinese Companies state based subsidies which allows the Chinese Companies to operate on a far more favorable basis then the u. S. Counterparts the other issue that is not being addressed according to critics is the question of Cyber Security the allegations that state controlled hackers are breaking into us Companies Operating within china but this very much is what is seen as a true sister not an end to the trade war it is a poor as it were in this particular process the u. S. Keeps in place some 65 percent of the tariffs the terror of said have been reduced or linked largely to consumer items such as large screen televisions running apparel and of course blue to blue tooth headphones one skin President Trumpet clearly. Wanting to prove to consumers that there is some benefit in this ongoing negotiations but despite this criticism there is one particular point that all tend to agree on a sense of relief that for the moment this trade war which has been so destructive to boast economies is on hold might for now thanks very much indeed i want to bring in katrina you who is with us in beijing katrina the stock markets there of course opening at the moment how is china responding to this deal. Well the markets here in asia are surprisingly calm actually its not a major celebration actually in shanghai the markets are slightly down in hong kong the slightly up japan theyre up and in south korea with the slightly down i think here in beijing really reflects their response to this deal and now it wasnt a big surprise youve been expecting this phase one deal for some for some weeks now we knew that it involved 200000000000 dollars an increase of 200000000000. 00 worth of manufacturing goods farm Goods Services over the next 2 years so that perhaps explains why there hasnt been any big jump another part it couldnt its maybe not a celebration is that these commitments well theyre seen here in beijing as a huge compromise weve spoken to some analysts have said thats actually that figure is is almost unrealistic that that amount that wrapping up over the next 2 years they jim we have to remember its been very active in also cultivating trade relationships with countries in europe with countries in south america and at the same time it doesnt want to divert trade from those companies so the question of implementation of this deal is also still up in the air and that could also explain why there hasnt been any huge jump in the markets here but at the same time it is seen as a positive thing it is seen as as a relief and it is very much seen by beijing as buying time its its time for. The tensions between the u. S. And china to be eased so china can focus on some of its said domestic concerns such as tackling poverty such as a slowing economy that the same time they know that this trade war is going to continue for months if not years to come so this deal does buy it is a pause and it does buy some time to talk about some of these other issues that will be discussed in the face to the real issues at the heart of the trade wars like said structural change and subsidies so some relief there but not quite the end things turner. Well plenty more ahead on the news hour including a warning to europe from irans president as the 2050 nuclear deal looks increasingly precarious. But we made the team working to stop fishermen in the philippines from going into waters around an erupting volcano. And a lucky escape for Fernando Alonso at the dakar rally in saudi arabia following has all the support. Russias Prime Minister has stepped down in a move that seen as paving the way for president Vladimir Putin to hold on to power when his term ends in 2024 Dmitri Medvedev says his resignation will allow for putin to introduce sweeping changes to the constitution during his state of the nation address putin proposed an increase in Parliament Power john holl reports it was dramatic and entirely unexpected except the just hours before the resignation of russias Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and his entire government the president Vladimir Putin had called for government change. We as the government of the Russian Federation should provide the president of our country with the opportunity to make all necessary changes to the political system. In the annual live televised state of the nation address putin said that the constitution should be amended to allow parliament to choose candidates for Prime Minister and the cabinet a power now enjoyed soley by the president and the president he said should in future serve a total maximum of 2 terms putin himself is currently serving his 4th the proposed changes would substantially limit the power of whoever succeeds putin as president after he steps down in 2024 as hes constitutionally bound to do. Supporters described the move as deepening democracy empowering elected members of Parliament Critics however suggest it offers a concrete clue to russias hottest political question what happens after putin the answer some believe is more political. The main result of putins address tweeted kremlin critic Alexis Novell me what kind of idiots and or crooks are all those who said that putin would leave in 2024 the only goal of putin and his regime is remaining leader for life taking ownership of an entire country and appropriating wealth to himself and his friends the russian president seeks to. Continue to exert control or the russian political sphere even after he leaves the official office of the president so this more is intended to change the political structure of their ashram government and sasha way. To possibly move to a different position from which he will be able to do so. But the me of putin has said nothing of his intentions post presidency but he could be planning a repeat of these 2008 move to become Prime Minister or take on another senior role a weakened presidency might pave the way for russias longest serving leader since stalin take power with him when he goes down a whole aljazeera.

Hello there still fairly quiet across northern sections of asia we have got some rain on its way towards western sections of japan always crowded you see here this is got some rain embedded within it thats beginning to push across the East China Sea as we go through thursday taking a very heavy rain away from taiwan has it just spinning as a say on its way into Western Areas of home she meanwhile a few showers in shanghai on thursday 7 celsius fine and sunny in hong kong with a high of 23 a similar story few there on friday a bit cooler in hong kong just 21 degrees a dry day and shanghai then look at all this rain working its way steadily mostly to the east of honshu but it could of course taken a few showers 11 celsius saka and tokyo and then to the south across indonesia has seen some heavy amounts of rain particularly into some march over the last few days the more of those along that west coast very widely scattered the thunderstorms across much of borneo slightly dried day as we go into friday and in fact dried generally across the marcha and also at the mill a peninsula is the fairly quiet in india for the last week or so that is set to change on thursday certainly to the north this is what we are dealing with very heavy amounts of rain and this is pushing to north that is where well turn over to snow but its moving fairly swiftly out of the picture of it certainly feeling cooler in new delhi with a high of just 18. Holy. More gentle jazeera and a reminder of our top stories this hour the u. S. House of representatives has delivered the articles of impeachment against donald trump to the senate it follows a vote in the democratic controlled house where 7 members also been assigned as managers of the trial. The u. S. And china have signed the 1st phase of a new trade deal they agree meant includes a promise from china to more than double purchases from American Farmers in the 1st year but the u. S. Says it will keep most of its talents in place until phase 2. Entire russian government has resigned after president Vladimir Putin outlined an agenda of reforms which he says theyll hunt power to parliament but its been suggested it will enable him to exercise power beyond his term limit. Ok lets get more on the signing of the phase one of the u. S. China trade deal the worlds 2 largest economies have been locked in a bitter trade battle thats last 18 months the u. S. President as all accused china of unfair trading practices and intellectual property theft china believes the u. S. Is trying to curb its rise as a Global Economic power so far the u. S. Has imposed tariffs on more than 360000000000. 00 of chinese goods chinas retaliated with tower of some more than 110000000000. 00 of u. S. Products well done lying is in the analyst of the Economist Intelligence unit shes joining us now from beijing thank you very much indeed for being with us on aljazeera the brief look that i have had to steal and we dont have too many details about at least phase one of this deal seems to suggest that china has actually given up a lot more than the u. S. Has is that a Fair Assessment yes i believe so this looks to me a very big concession on chinas side and i genuinely dont see how china can fulfill its commitment of 2 100000000000. 00 more dollars the purchase from the u. S. Will without increasing its fiscal subsidies to domestic producers manufacturers dramatically and if china along the way of these 2 years. Actually cannot fulfill some of the commitment and then were expecting to see a collapse of the phase one deal and that means the phase 2 and phase 3 would never happen so if i understand it correctly the process for the phase 2 deal has already begun at least according to some of the news lines that were getting out of the United States so there is presumably a belief from the u. S. That this is going to go ahead but from what youre saying china is not nearly as confident that it can sustain this. Right because from where i stand it looks like of for example the agricultural d. O. In this phase one deo it is more than twice the amount of the 2017 level and in order to do that actually a lot of the domestic producers farmers will suffer a lot china was certainly increase its government purchase prices and extend that program but overall that means direct competition with chinese domestic farmers start a mostly small scale and in that area china is not competitive and another thing thats funny to me is that by signing to steel actually china has to commit to buy more agriculture goes from the u. S. And that means by a lot less from other countries for example canada and the e. U. And by signing is still in fact between china and the u. S. It is china it is the u. S. Allies fundamentally bear most of the cost and so what benefit does china get from signing this deal. I think the most obvious one is that china can gain a relatively peaceful period at least until the end of 2020 because we know that a year of 2020 is very critical for china and there are a lot of economic goals it has to reduce all the poverty so its very critical for the party as a well. And there are some protection clause within this phase one deal as well as some layers of protection especially for the farming sector paul that china can buy from the u. S. Based on the Market Conditions and that means that agricultural goods from the u. S. Has to be away the in a certain price range if its too high actually china can opt out but this kind of protection is really too thin and overall i just think china will have to face a very challenging 2 years it seems from what youre saying that china is essentially backing itself into a corner because on one side it has the domestic commitments that youve just been talking about and yet it is signed this deal with a commitment to buy so much more in the United States so from your perspective how does china get out of this. Well this is a reflection of the long lasting battle between china and the u. S. For decades to come because the the conflict between 2 countries not really about trade at this point all we know its more about information finance technology and all those areas china has to by itself more time to develop domestic sectors and as we can see china hasnt really been talking about a meeting china 2025 but it is going on just as planned in background on the local level every province is just keeping its promises of reaching a target on that so by talking with the u. S. Continuing this trade talk china would gain more valuable time has it just china just has to be more diplomatic up or more skillful in a negotiation so that it can actually start as long as possible and hopefully with the new government in the United States at some point on the the bilateral asian can have improvement then one is an analyst at the Economist Intelligence unit thank you so much for joining us emergency crews in pakistan administered kashmir have recovered 21 more bodies as they search for victims of recent avalanches at least 160. 00 people from both pakistan and afghanistan have been killed because of the Severe Weather in recent days the regions milam valley is the worst hit area people are believed to be trapped inside their home news buried by heavy still fall authorities are being forced to use helicopters to rescue the injured as many golds remain blocked by still. People living near an erupting volcano in the philippines are still being evacuated more than 60000. 00 have moved to shelters and other safe locations since it began spearing smoke and ash on sunday the philippines coast guard is also trying to keep fishermen out of the waters the surround the tall volcano jamila island dog reports from the province or but. These coast guard c. A hazardous eruption could happen any time and trigger a volcanic tsunami on these waters and the need to ensure that the thousands of boats in the area remain anchored. There are those who refuse to listen up minding the danger on the lake so we are here because we need to make sure that the 130 s. We are now about 10 kilometers from. What we are is just a fraction of the total area that the Philippine Coast guard actually called for now on a daily basis since the crisis started and theyre telling us that at the average there is able to have her hands around 10 percent every day. The fish. Thousands of fisherman who live and fish here have been forced to go but some see their work comes 1st i. Didnt know it wasnt allowed so now i get a bucket no i have ph i am already to about safety and they freak. To our volcano spewed ashes and lava on sunday forcing the government to declare a state of emergency and evacuating more than 38000 residents kaino is steeped in folklore and history and is a popular Tourist Destination it is also the 2nd most active volcano in the philippines. Here in the town of. These residents are performing the superleague. They say at a time of such great uncertainty visit ritual dance serves as a powerful form of prayer that might a piece mother nature. Or prayers and bake. Believe that. Since time immemorial. Everybody. Is deep associated with. All of the entire belief system. Related to this ritual has to do with the lady and the volcano. Those who have lived around the lake all their lives have long enjoy the beauty of a no but many are living in fear of its explosive power. Well about 54000 people learn Evacuation Centers across but i gots progun cement on a dogs life for us so one of them is santa tomas and city as you may know the numbers alone are quite staggering in terms of the people that have been moved here just give us a description if you can of whats happening where you are. Well im here in one of the main Evacuation Centers here across a fungus province this is sent to us this is a Public University its called the Polytechnic University of the philippines and its getting full to the brim weve spoken to the site manager and your estimate is that there is almost 3000 evacuees here now and theyve had to slowly relocate some of those who continue still arrive brought here by the Philippine Army by the Philippine National police as you know evacuations started sunday afternoon that has been relentless until now there has been a total lockdown in so many towns well within the 14 kilometer range of the lake and the throughout the volcano itself here the situation is difficult but manageable according to the site managers there is enough food met this and were seeing a lot of volunteers coming in donating much needed supplies like blankets clothes medicines and food but they worry more about the long term that is because it remains to be seen just how long they will have to stay here we were listening at the press conference earlier of the volcanic experts and they themselves cannot tell really when the possible have a possible hazardous imminent eruption might happen theyre talking about features which indicate a possible movement of magma going up near the surface of the volcano but this is something that is very hard to predict as you know covering a typhoon or even an Armed Conflict is easier because essentially you know exactly when and what time and where the conflict may happen did. And forces the problem of the volcano and earthquakes for that matter is that you dont really know when it will strike so the local government the National Government now is really erring on the side of safety evacuating as many people as possible out of danger zones jamin i can see behind you people are wearing face masks and i believe that one of the problems is the osh thats been spreading from the volcano across the country and of course thats going to have an impact on the health of people but also in livestock as well. Oh well thats a very good question because that has been one of the Major Concerns at this point just to give you a sense of how bad it was on sunday for example sunday afternoon volcanoes spewed steam and lava this is about 3 hours away about 2 to 3 hours away from manila manila for example woke up with the majority of the areas i covered in ash the main concern have been enough ample facemasks for everyone here were seeing volunteers giving that away but also with have been deported basically are animals who you know as many knew were not be were not evacuated early enough by their owners because they had to flee on their motorbikes and on foot that is a major concern because the whole of but on this province is an agricultural area really majority live in agriculture for their livelihood so just beside just the health risks and the impact here the main concern also is livelihood so yes health has been a top concern here this is why theyre trying to keep this place this evacuation site clean so far it is under control but the worry is the long term impact of this devastation of this crisis on the people of us and those also living near the vicinity of but that this province as well john i know were going to be checking in with you as this goes on but for now thank you very much indeed. Well the past decade was the hottest ever recorded on the planet and its only getting worse thats according to a joint report by nasa and the u. S. National oceanic and Atmospheric Administration the findings show that 2019 was the 2nd hottest year since Global Records began in 880. 00 scientists believe warming temperatures a jew to humans emitting billions of tons of Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere its predicted that as Global Warming continues there will be more heat waves wildfires a stronger storms flooding and a rising sea levels were governed schmidt is director of the god Art Institute for space studies he says this rate of temperature change was predicted decades ago it is the same situation that we have been telling people about for many years and predicting ahead of time we when we predicted that the that the rate of change would be as as it is and the models that we put together even in the 1970 s. In the 1980 s. Predicted the changes in temperatures that were seeing now and we understand wind thats happening so short i mean there are people that dont want to see that but there are people who are who have been following the science who understand exactly how solid a case this is its not reversible on our choices are really to to keep our food on the accelerator and to to keep increasing at an ever increasing rate or to slow it down and those are our choices we can through actions to reduce Carbon Emissions slow down whats going on and perhaps stabilize the climates a day at a reasonable temperature depending on how who wrote those mitigation efforts.
