And a show of support for gabby is ousted president thousands rally calling for the return from exile. And inspire the Major League Baseball manager whose quits before taking charge of the new york Mets Carlos Beltran pays the price for his role in the games sign stealing scandal. And were beginning greece where a libyan warlord aletha hafter is jews to hold talks with the Prime Minister and foreign minister its part of the latest International Effort to win the conflict in libya athens has criticized its exclusion from the un backed peace conference on libya said to be held in berlin on sunday it says it should be included because tripoli signed a maritime and military deal with its regional rival turkey. As those talks get underway Libyas National Oil Corporation says its facilities have come under attack warehouses where his fleet of trucks were destroyed the company is a key source of income for the internationally recognized government in tripoli which is trying to overthrow the violence threatens to disrupt libyas fuel supplies. Now when the mother were going to speak to Mahmoud Abdul wahid in the libyan capital tripoli 1st we go live to john serapion us in athens john what more can you tell us about these talks that are happening there. Generally if i have to has gone into a long meeting with the Greek Foreign minister and it was then vs they still havent emerged from that meeting to make statements about what theyve discussed we expect that to happen any moment but we expect the greek side to outline its position very clearly to the general hoping that he will be the one who can convey that position to the talks and lead from which athens has been so pointedly x. Clue to the greek position is very briefly the one that was tweeted by Prime Minister as we took ickes last night he said that we will not accept any libyan solution that doesnt include the scrapping of a maritime deal reached between the tripoli government in libya and the turkish government last november in which they deal in the 18th and area maritime jurisdiction that sits on top of what greece sees as its maritime jurisdiction and the European Union took the greek side on that occasion and said that this is not a legally binding agreement this is not in conformity with International Law but greeces exclusion from these talks clearly sidelines it in a matter of vital importance for its National Interest and that presumably is precisely the reason why this has been done so the limits of European Solidarity has been reached in this particular conference the jonah how much whites can grease bring to bear here particularly on the half who himself has refused to sign the deal in moscow opted out now opting in saying he will be at those talks what leverage can greece can greece had to. Greece doesnt have much leverage it has a National Interest it doesnt have viable. Leverage over the situation in libya greece is relying on its diplomatic alliances its network with arab countries with the European Union and its friendship with the United States to weigh in on the situation and influences in the right direction the problem here for the west is that they cannot step back from International Law and there has to be a defense a line of defense for the International Law of the sea which if it were observed would bring about a different situation in the middle east mediterranean than that which has been agreed between the government in tripoli and turkey so some some sort of concession to the greek side has to be made even though they dont have any leverage over this for the sake of legality but the greeks are also saying that they will simply veto the agreement this is what the Prime Minister tweeted last night he says we will not even wait for it to reach the summit we will veto it at the foreign minister level were not entirely sure what that means presumably this assumes that any agreement emerging from berlin will be put to the general 1st council of the European Union for the 27 or 28 Foreign Ministers to approve john thank you John Psaropoulos the. Head is here to join us now live from tripoli not move what is the view from tripoli at these talks between after and greece particularly greece insistence that that deal between the government of National Accord and turkey that marathon deal cannot stand. Well the stern remember the president. Of iran has been mentioning in several locations that they will continue deploying troops to libya as long as requested by the official legitimity government and that it could manage the government of national remember recently the existence of military. Troops in advance of the weapons on the ground have changed the power of balance on the ground in favor of the government of National Accord but we remember that since. He started deploying deploying troops and also providing the government with weapons have those forces have been striving to proceed further into this city southern neighborhoods but remember that also the russian medicine that is from the wagners Company Fighting along with have to forces they were taking the lead in the battle in several neighborhoods in Southern Turkey but they were old by the Government Forces led by turkish experts and military experts and also military leaders on the ground but with the situation though remains very dangerous despite this by. The truce being put in place as their n. O. C. Thats the National Oil Corporation stated that civil trucks were set on fire by a random rocket that was launched by have to us forces and head. Storage tanks in southern tripoli and also one worker was injured in that attack meanwhile the media center of the government of national called their volcano a vast military. Posted pictures of victims as civilians killed as a government so its a sad a by have to the forces when they try to return home taking advantage of the deescalation atmosphere in the doing the couple at the last couple of days stan thank you much good up there why theyre from tripoli. The u. S. Military is admitting that some of its soldiers were injured in an iranian attack in iraq earlier this month washington had initially denied that anyone was the missiles target of the eye and military base north of baghdad i would want to tell the ocean to the assassination of Iranian Military commander custom solid money if the u. S. Drone strike the u. S. Says 11. 00 soldiers have been treated for concussion in kuwait and germany. Was in washington d. C. He says the troops are expected to return to iraq after the treatment. It does not appear to be serious injuries nevertheless this is what the pentagon is telling us they say that after the missile attacks on the base many of the Service Members were screened for concussions which they say is very common the blast from missiles can cause buildings to shake and rattle and and can cause potentially concussions in people that are even outside of the Immediate Impact zone once these tests were done on multiple Service Members that were at that base that needed further screening they showed signs of some sort of concussions that were they suffered after the blasts from those missile rocket launches the Service Members have been transported to a u. S. Air base in germany to a u. S. Air base in kuwait and they say theyre doing further testing the military says this is all part of standard procedure no one is in any sort of life threatening injuries or anything like that in fact the military says that they are expected after the screening is complete to be sent back to iraq so thats what we know now there are injuries or i should say there were injuries that this is the 1st time that it was being disclosed i should point out but it does not appear to be very serious. Well as plenty more ahead on the news hour including president Donald Trumps impeachment trial for abuse of power getting on the way its a proceeding he calls totally partisan. Irans Supreme Leader hits european nations of the nuclear deal that hes 1st been in ideas were terribly. In sport and in perfect 10 for the boss to pull tamed more used to sitting in the games honest standards. Chinas Economic Growth has slowed to no musri decade load its g. D. P. Grew by just 6 point one percent to 2019 thats the lowest since 99 but within the governments target the worlds 2nd largest economy has been stifled by the ongoing trade war with the u. S. Exporters have been facing state american tariffs on wednesday the 2 sides signed phase one of the trade deal to ease the tensions aljazeera is to trying to use joins us now live from beijing katrina how much of what were seeing now in the economy of these down to is a consequence of that tried war with the u. S. Well total surely has had a devastating impact on chinas Manufacturing Sector but from what the Chinese Government has told us today. There is no acknowledgement whatsoever of the impact of the trade war theyre saying that this figure 6. 00 is completely in line of with what they forecast early last year which was 6 percent to 6. 5 percent so they hailing this as quite a positive thing now we have to remember standard these figures. That we rely on provincial governments to deliver the figures to the State Government and we dont know how accurate they are but if we take them on face value as as the Chinese Government is taking them theyre seeing that this is a positive thing in their of the sizing the good changes that theyve seen over the long term for example Monthly Consumer spending they say is 50 times higher than it was 30 years ago per capita is the capita income is now more than 10000. 00 u. S. Dollars so that that for the Chinese Government is part of this figure Chinese Success story but if you do dig deeper there are some major headwinds and domestic challenges for the Chinese Government coming out of these figures as you said this is the lowest g. D. P. For about 30 years and there are some obstacles such as Consumer Spending is experiencing a downward trend rising unemployment and more Financial Risks and at the same time chinas birth rate is also the low its lowest its been since birth records began its 1. 05 percent and thats concerning because china is going to need a lot more younger workers to help power its economy going into the future so what were expecting from the Central Government going ahead is more stimulus to try to prevent any downturn things like tax cuts and things like that but certainly this g. D. P. Is only going to go downwards in fact state grid which is chinas biggest Utility Company predicted that it may sink as low as 4 percent somewhere of the next 5 years so. The moment the Chinese Government is all about stability and emphasizing the positive with the negative to keep trying to look more new tell us as well about the visit that says you please go to my to me about obviously there are trade issues year and China Building a porch in the countries will take issue what we can expect from this trip. Thats right during this whole trade war china has been trying to sort of divert International Tensions the fact that it keeps on going out and reaching out to regional partners and my own ma is no exception so china is my animals biggest trading partner but this is the 1st visit from the chinese by a chinese leader to land in about 20 years and she didnt ping is that he says to celebrate 70 years of relations between my and mar in china but its also better to think some deals now time it has a lot of investment under its belt and Road Initiative in my mom its got what its called the China Economic corridor which includes a vast infrastructure schemes like a deep sea port there expanding commercial zones and young gone and also xi jinping is hoping to restart development on a controversial dam project in catchin state so really hes that to sort of kickstart all those projects to talk more about investment in future cooperation and this is being largely welcomed by the landmine government because since weve seen International Criticism targeting the landmark government because of its handling of the region to crisis western investment into infrastructure has dried up and so they very much need chinese money and Chinese Business to be coming in to land more on that topic xi jinping is also hoping to act as a sort of mediator between my asthma and bangladesh when it comes to the handling of the region to crisis so hes going to try to push his geo political clout at the same time is signing all these deals all the deals that he does hope to side over hes 2 day visit there to try to you live for us in beijing thank you. To robertson is from Human Rights Watch he says me and leaders need to consider the impact chinese projects will have on local people if theyre displaced as weve seen in other parts of myanmar often the package they get is nowhere near what they had before land displacement you know worse livelihoods worse situations for the people i mean thats something that the burmese government shouldnt want to welcome but unfortunately through their projects and working with the Chinese Government on some of these things they havent really presented the people with a better alternative it is a very poor country but you know development has to be done right and it has to be rights respected weve said that there should be similar to other Major International Financial Institutions some sort of package where there is Rights Incorporated into the project design that there is consultation process sees you know these things are something that various different groups have fought for for years with the world bank and the Asian Development bank with china coming on board with these major amounts of money but were sort of back to ground 0 you know were starting over again fighting those same battles except with with a new group of Major International donors led by an autocratic leader who has shown complete disdain for human rights so its going to be a major struggle and its going to take a number of years. The impeachment trial of u. S. President donald trump will now resume on tuesday the Legal Process was set in motion in the senate on thursday after House Democrats read out the charges trump faces he has denounced the trial as a cold job the democrats castro has more from washington d. C. The ceremony laden impeachment trial of President Donald Trump is now underway harry reid hears all persons are commanded to keep silent on pain of imprisonment donald j. Trump has abused the powers of the presidency in that. Using the powers of his high Office President trump solicited the interference of a Foreign Government ukraine in the 2020 United States president ial election john roberts the chief justice of the Us Supreme Court has taken an oath to become presiding officer i do in turn swearing in the members of the senate just to become impartial jurors so help you god. But an impeachment trial under u. S. Law is not just a judicial proceeding it is a proceeding that is both legal and political with most of the jurists who will decide the president s guilt or innocence being members of his own Political Party and in an Election Year there is little reason to believe that republican senators when a vote to remove their own leader from the white house in the recent polling shows most americans expect a fair trial in the senate distro not one rigged in the president s favor the democrats say to get that they need to open the proceedings to new witnesses and new evidence that appear to incriminate trump further the president is blocking and again the American People just about all of them are asking the question what is the president hiding this chamber exist person i sleep for schussler madam president so that we can look past the daily dramas and understand how our actions will reverberate for generations so that we can put aside animal reflexes and animosities and coolly consider how to best serve our country now the senate has summoned President Trump to answer the impeachment charges its a hoax its a hoax Everybody Knows that but its unlikely hell make an appearance its his attorneys who will plead his innocence in opening arguments scheduled for next week heidi joe castro aljazeera washington. Donald trumps lawyer claims the president knew about if its to proceed you cry you need to investigate and former Vice President joe biden and his son President Trump know exactly what was going on he was aware of all my movements live potus worked with the president s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani and says he personally delivered messages from the president to the ukrainians trumps supported by the allegations as a way of avoiding federal charges which hes currently facing the president has denied even knowing him. Or us other than i guess i had pictures taken which i do with thousands of people including people today that i did meet but just better i dont know him at all dont know what hes about dont know where he comes from know nothing about him. Irans religious leader has criticized several european states saying they cant be trusted in negotiations over the 2015 uclear deal. And they made the comments during friday prayers its the 1st time hes led the sermon in tehran in 8 years of the nato thousands of worshipers that european states were servants of the u. S. On tuesday france britain and germany triggered a formal dispute in the Nuclear Agreement that could lead to un sanctions being reimposed from. Germany france and the evil government of the u. K. We responded to the freeze after the us withdrawal from the nuclear deal i said i dont trust them and they were american civil and cry and these countries want to bring the iranian nation to its new units the us which is your master couldnt do anything we should loan you who is smaller than we can they are to seek for them in negotiations with us a steel hand in a velvet glove they cant be trusted we have no problem with talks but not with the us. Well lets go now to us about who joins us live from tehran obviously a lot of noise and commotion around where you are there i said what else are we hearing from the harmony in this speech. Well the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei has just finished and as you can see people are just leaving the mosque of just hear them chanting antiamerican slogans the europeans have really upset irena how many actually reminded the people attending the mosque today the friday prayers that it was these 3 European Countries that supported Saddam Hussein during the iran iraq war now i have to the how many hasnt spoken to the people like this since 2012 let me just some of the context back in november there were widespread antigovernment protests because of a food price hike since then the United States general cost them so the mind to. And then iran retaliated by striking u. S. Targets inside iraq and also the Ukrainian Airline was brought down by a missile and then after days of denial by the iranian government. It was a missile strike the Iranian Missile strike. Thing done many usually comes to calm the situation to rally people and thats essentially what he did he praised the many people that came out for the funeral procession of general costs and for the money around the country and he said that actually there were millions on the streets and he questioned those around the world and governments say that they support the regime people who are the real iranian people the millions on the streets or a few 100 that dissipated a poster of general cost them so the money referring to some of those protests have taken place since the downing of the Ukrainian Airliner he said that there were 2. 00 days of gods one was the funeral of general cost of the money and the other one was when iran struck u. S. Targets inside inside iraq but he also sent his condolences to the families of the victims of that plane crash and said that it was a mistake but reiterated the support for irans revolutionary guard for the 1st operates outside of iran saying that they essentially to the security of iran and. Interests but also he spoke about the Upcoming Elections because there have been polls suggesting that voter turnout will be low and he encouraged people to come out and unite and vote in those elections and not let the enemies of iran take advantage of the situation to give them excuse to attack iran but just the chance inside the mosque as he was speaking no compromise no surrender but against against america just picking up on those chants and what the people around you saying so much has happened inside iran just in the last couple of weeks. Weve seen protests against the government with protests for the Government People turning out for the funeral of custom so the money will listen to people behind you theyre now chanting just what is the sense among people in the country both towards the United States and its own government right now. Oh i said have you got me. Its a lot of movement a lot of commotion there were as i said is well leave it there for the moment. In tehran we go to the philippines now where an erupting volcano is still threatening lives despite week emissions and fewer tremors government officials have been by hillock opted to monitor the volcanoes crater Jamila Allen Duggan joined them and sent this report. These government officials want a closer look at the rumbling a volcano so theyve come to this military air base in the town this province the plan to fly over the crater of the top. And decide how to respond to the threat it continues to pose its been days since that erupted but the crisis is far from over. We flew over the past city towards to our late what we saw there was beyond human comprehension. What was once a popular Tourist Destination is now on recognizable. From above we can see the and it was killed when kabul came no spewed steam and lava farmlands this choice to communities damage to a province in crisis but in the middle of the destruction some are tearing to return for many this is all that they have left. We finally reach the volcano this crater. This is what alert level for looks like up close experts are warning their eruption is imminent. Seconds later a fountain of blacks team. And the pilot has to mcgiver quickly to escape a reminder of how the child the situation is. The very 1st 3 bites of the fish from the philippines. That hour and how long the great coppery area is affected by now ok no eruption and what they have seen so far they say. What we saw you. Expect. The people. And it was heartbreaking to see the devastation. As far as the military is concerned we know that the. The need to be done in. The sense. And focus more than 50000 people have been evacuated from a 40 kilometer danger zone. But beyond the physical discomfort Officials Say it is the uncertainty of what might happen next that braces the government to prepare for the worst. Option as are difficult to accurately predict but more are expected and government Officials Say theyre leaving nothing to chance. But then this province northern philippines. It is time now for the weather with jenny and jenny long long awaited rainfall on the instruction isnt it just not of course theres a bit of a downside to all of this but let me show you whats been going on this because of the satellite you can see have plenty of activity right the way across eastern portions of New South Wales and across into queensland but look at this this is actually ahead of a thunderstorm that came through this is in southwest queensland so heres amount of dust storm and then look at this this is all see the fun you can have when you have been desperately waiting for rain for literally weeks and weeks so plenty of mud now as weve got that rain mixed in oversea with all that dust thats been building up so this is you can see is where we are right now and in fact these the current temperatures on the current weather conditions so temperatures as you can see in the low twentys is what coming up to have night local time but theres plenty of rain at the eastern side of New South Wales and also into queensland but heres the downside this is a summers day in New South Wales this is actually a sense a Reptile Center theyve had to close because of the flooding that had to rescue the animals the koala in particular and that hasnt happened since 2007 when they lost some flooding but this is what were going to expect on saturday some very heavy amounts of rain pushing all the way up but eastern side of New South Wales very heavy at times into queenstown and so for the next few days in sydney you can expect more showers and scattered thunderstorms temperatures actually on the rise by about monday but when it comes the rain accumulation we need this rain we know that we do but look at this is mostly the heaviest rain will be offshore but some areas on lumber tickler in queensland could actually pick up as much as 250 millimeters of rain but for the most part looking about 50. 00 to 100. 00 say stan in some areas it could be as much as 250. 00 millimeters in the same destroy a land of drought or flooding right in what one of the yes thank you jane.

The 21st century began with extraordinary Economic Growth across much of latin america. But since this halted in 2008 theres been a political shift to the right on a continent twice socialism once thrived to. A chilean politician goes on a journey to meet leading leftwing ficus to understand why that politics have lost ground so dramatically. Latin america a giant in time oil coming soon. And youre watching aljazeera his reminder about top stories this hour libyan world war to leave a half day is in athens as part of an International Effort to try to resolve the war in this country greece is criticizing its exclusion from a u. N. Backed peace conference in germany on sunday. Chinas Economic Growth has slowed to almost 3 decades lower its g. D. P. Grew by just 6 point one percent to 22 in thats the lowest since 990 the worlds 2nd largest economy has been hit by the ongoing trade or with the u. S. The u. S. Military has admitted some of its soldiers were emerging in an iranian attack earlier this month in iraq now in washington they initially said nobody was good were believed to be sol struck the. Military bus. Going to get more on that story now with a solid binge of aide who visited. Base just a few days ago and he joins us live from baghdad before we talk about what you sort of buy is just give us a sense of the reaction there in baghdad because the americans approved previously said that there were no injuries at all in this strike. But this is in line with what the americans had been telling us at the base and from off from the base as well that there were some minor injuries for a number of troops we counted about 6 or 7 in total when we were at the base who were taken out of precaution to various bases in kuwait and in germany this is the regular Standard Operating Procedure because of the limited medical facilities that are available here in iraq and we saw the kind of damage that these blasts caused as well so from what we gather from the spokesman of the coalition they told us that there were some people who were treated for injuries such as shock wave trauma blast related injuries but as far as we have been told there were no serious injuries to any of the u. S. Troops because they had plenty of did have plenty of time to prepare for these strikes when we were there we were told that they had they knew something was coming in the noon and the strikes happened almost 14 hours later and they had an hours response because they had assets in the air they knew something was coming and about 45 a few minutes before they realized it was Ballistic Missiles so they had ample notice and they didnt prepare themselves but it is in line with what they have been telling us that there were some minor injuries but as far as we know nobody had any serious injuries. So you visited there you had to look around and they told you about some of these more minor injuries but chose a little bit more about what you saw when you were at the base and the strategic importance of this post as well. What it is is sprawling complex this is a base which has been strategic since the 1980 s. In iraq in the 1st us invasion in the 2nd u. S. Invasion and in the operations against us and also for the Iraqi Military as well because from going from north to south it is a Strategic Point where you would come in and refuel in Logistics Supply will come in also troops coming in from kuwait who would come to end in a cyber world so it is a very important base the kind of destruction we saw was a reminder that this could have gone. In the opposite direction the extent of the damage was quite a lot soldiers there were telling us that they were not there training prepares them for the worst Case Scenario and there is nothing that prepares them for a Ballistic Missile strike it also showed you the kind of Defense Mechanisms that they had in the base many were afraid that this is going to be a rocket attack which will be followed by a ground incursion so those are the kind of fears that they had on site and that the the damage was so extensive those big t. Was that you see being set up by a large cranes were taken off like lego blocks and they had fallen on at least one of the bunkers which was adjacent to sleeping quarters of some soldiers where one contractor was inside and that was one of the people who was injured as well so it does sure that they came very close to a conflict where u. S. Servicemen or contractors could have been killed but it also does show cording to military analysts the kind of capability that iran has developed over the years because it can hit precise targets it perhaps did not wanted to kill u. S. Soldiers but wanted to show that it can launch missiles from iran hit u. S. Targets in the region and get away with it because it does not want to create a situation where many u. S. Servicemen would have been killed as youve seen from the u. S. President saying that if a u. S. Citizen is killed he is going to respond in force or some of the job in baghdad or some of thank you. The Afghan Government has rejected a taliban offer of a 10 day ceasefire President Trump called negotiations dead in september the taliban wants foreign troops to withdraw while the u. S. Has said a reduction in violence we see its forces pull out in return for security guarantees so best robbies in kabul he explains why the government says the deal is unacceptable. And it has to be said in the broad context of an 18 year long conflict a short reduction in violence might not seem like that much but the hope here by the United States is that even a short reprieve would be a welcome thing because talks have been stalled for so long in the hope is that this would have some kind of a cascading effect if the United States and the taliban can come to some kind of a long term reduction in violence some kind of an agreement that would make that possible then perhaps the thinking is by the peace negotiators here in afghanistan in qatar in doha where peace talks are ongoing that that could then lead to some kind of a deal between the taliban and other afghan stakeholders what weve heard from the government in the last 24 hours is that the the proposal in the letter from the taliban to the United States as far as the Afghan Government is concerned is simply not good enough Salaam Brahimi is the state minister for Peace Affairs hes a member of the president ial cabinet here in the capital kabul he was speaking at a local think tank here in kabul and during his speech he said that the offer was quote an acceptable as far as the Afghan Government is concerned for the stakeholders here in afghanistan what they want for any sort of talks with the taliban is a complete cessation of all military operations by that group a an all out cease fire and nothing less will do as far as the Afghan Government is concerned.

Judges in poland to speak out against a bill that would allow the government to discipline them if they criticize judicial reforms now the proposed bill is the latest episode in the years long squabble of the courts reform that has triggered a feud with the European Union judge igor has been fighting against the governments campaign saying. We are all polish judges have lived under pressure for several years. Every decision or action thats not in line with what the politicians want is met with attacks theres been hate speech against us or our families sometimes judges are intimidated on the street weve had attacks on our homes but weve become more immune to the attacks and going to thick skin we need to be brave we need to fight. Polands a member of the European Union but the situation with the judicial system here has nothing to do with european standards its more similar to russia. Or other dictatorships. In. The last protest march attended by so many regular citizens has shown that people really are. More people understand whats happening in our country of course we should be able to defend ourselves but help from the e. U. Is also very important because weve used all the means we have to defend the judiciary now i think our last hope is the e. U. This argument saying most judges in poland are communist criminals is funny simply because more than 90 percent of them are in their thirtys or fortys and came of age after poland became a democracy the institutions being destroyed today with thought up during the 1st solidarity movement. The destruction of our judicial system is certainly a step towards polacks it because there can be no place for a democratic country in europe where the separation of powers is abused like this. Its a drama and a tragedy but i believe we will win.

We dont need to say oh its hard to explain to you how it feels to lose a husband you have to experience it to know what i mean and thats the reality of all families affected by this conflict she fears more hurts will be broken as this conflict rages on. As well as the increasing number of killings in the chair and the rest of us there how more than half a 1000000 people have been forced from their homes in the past few words they are in addition to more than 2000000 people displaced by the war fighters in the electorate regions that include countries like. Nigeria International Aid agencies are saying that the situation is becoming increasingly desperate. Action from the government to gain traction in asia as a wide impact of the violence. It is sung yet when bread winners are killed for one reason or the other obviously you will have unprecedented suffering in a country those who have been killed took care of not only the immediate but extended family in the army today we fear a situation of demoralization and if that happens it will embolden the terrorists the government has a shot that amongst us troops is high and that its doing everything it can to support them but with the security situation in the sahara.
