Leaders gather for climate talks in spain will explore whats at stake for fragile River Systems in kenya. Now the white house says it will not take part in the next step of the impeachment inquiry into donald trump the us president had been given until sunday to confirm whether or not hed send legal representatives to a hearing on wednesday the white house says it will respond separately about a 2nd hearing which has a friday deadline the u. S. President is accused of asking ukraine to investigate political rival joe biden and bidens son in exchange for military aid while its a busy week ahead for the impeachment inquiry members of the House Intelligence Committee are due to receive a copy of the impeachment report later on monday it will outline the findings of its investigation into trumps dealings with ukraine theyll have 24 hours to review that report. Then theyll be a vote on tuesday afternoon to move it forward to the next stage that being proceedings in the House Judiciary Committee which will consider any articles of impeachment against President Trump or roslyn jordan is in washington d. C. And shes telling us a little more about the days ahead. The House Judiciary Committee will be having this open session on wednesday morning here in washington and thats going to be about 12 hours or so after the House Intelligence Committee actually decides to revote to send the rural results of its 2 week long public hearings to the Judiciary Committee now there is this deadline at 22. 00 g. M. T. On friday where the president s legal team will need to tell the House Judiciary Committee if theyre going to be taking part in hearings that the Judiciary Committee will be convening not tomorrow on monday here in washington but starting a week from monday and that is another opportunity which House Democrats say will give the president the opportunity to tell his side to bring in witnesses to present evidence as this inquiry continues but it is widely expected here in washington that the white house will once again wait until late on friday to say that theyre not going to participate because at least from a political standpoint they are now making the argument that the entire process is fraudulent and that this is nothing more than the democrats trying to undermine the president s efforts at being reelected in 2020. Iraqs parliament has approved the resignation of Prime Minister abdul mahdi and his cabinet weeks of protests against his government have now left more than 400 people dead but demonstrators are still calling for a total overhaul of the political establishment simona felten reports from baghdad. After only 13 months in office iraqs of bethels Prime Minister. Has officially stepped down to succession is mired in uncertainty according to the constitution the president is supposed to take up the office of the Prime Minister until a replacement is chosen but instead. Of the mahdi is staying on as part of a caretaker government. The largest bloc in Parliament Led by shiite cleric mokhtar the outsider must now nominate a replacement within 15 days 6 its a murky and often lengthy process that requires consent from shia sunni and kurdish parties as well as regional and global power brokers. More than ever the choice would have to be accepted on the streets its a daunting task for Political Parties put himself space the wrath of the protestors the harlow. Who could not. With the biggest block based on the last parliamentary election we have to nominate a candidate form a government with guidance from al sabah we will cancel sectarian and political appointments system to give the right to the protesters because the people of the largest block and the demonstrations are where the sacrifice has been made the candidate of the people will be at choices well. But to know the peoples choice would require fresh elections a key demand of the protesters who want to do so all over this government. Believed in you tears. Government or just say that to. Make. Sure for their cause also. For the politics parties Parliament Members say that passing these reforms could take up to 6 months we fully accept and fully support the idea of dissolving the parliament and having a fresh election but that you have to know that this there are costs to stop or seizures 1st we have to go with it we need a government even an interim government a government before holding the elections at this week we are discussing even way past that new electoral law that i have which is overseeing. In their elections in iraq the new election law currently tabled in parliament suggests an increase in the present candidates at least considerable power in the hands of Political Parties including the ability to choose the Prime Minister. Protos just say that his resignation is meaningless if they kill or choose the next leader themselves they demand a president ial rather than a parliamentary system whereby the head of state is elected by popular vote a demand that has thus far been ignored by the political establishment see one of 14 aljazeera but. At least 14 people have been shot and killed during an attack on a church an eastern became a faster gunman opened fire during mass in a village near the border with nice hair groups linked to al qaeda and i saw have become much more active in eastern bikini fastow this year. Now someone as Prime Minister is shutting down the government and ordering as many state workers as possible to help deal with the spiraling Measles Outbreak there so far at least 53 people have died on the Pacific Island most of them Young Children schools have already been ordered to close and travel is being restricted as many as 100 people are still falling ill every day James Nichols is with unicef astray and he joins us now from sydney james i see that someone has some of the lowest immunization rates for measles in the entire region it is that whats caused this. Yes that is the. General situation and Vaccination Coverage has been quite low for some time. And you see it has been working with the government of smart and also. Countries such as the kingdom up in this current outbreak of measles and why is it so low in in somewhere in comparison to some of the other countries in the region like tongan fiji. The reason that the Vaccination Coverage is so low is because primarily its a simple answer and that is parents havent been getting their children vaccinated and so now there is a national. Campaign underway with mobile outreach to means and special that is going around the country and so far in this campaign the ministry of health has successfully vaccinations more than 33000. 00 individuals in both who can survive so the campaign is well underway and we hope that this situation will be addressed as soon as possible james i say that the some one government only declared a National Emergency more than a month after the fast measles death so how has the response by the government to this outbreak impacted the spread. Well there has been a response literally from the 1st day of the of the outbreak and unity said has been working very closely with the government and the World Health Organization and also with other partners such as the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and trade and new Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and trade in mounting a response so its clear to me that the response has been switched. 5800000 additional vaccines of missiles for measles has been flown into that region and 150000 doses of mabels vaccines have arrived in some are since the 1st of october and this includes syringes the boxes and as well as supplies of white woman i which are vital in responding to such an outbreak so things are definitely on the way but obviously with more deaths this is a tragedy this is really an emergency still and were not out of it yet james what more could the government be doing at this stage youre talking about more immunizations but i see were also now looking at a potential lockdown of a christmas instructions on travel possibly even canceling church said this isnt and sam was a very christian country. I think the government is doing what it should be right now and it is coordinating with its partners in the region and its doing everything here that it possibly can i think right now by increasing the Vaccination Campaign it is also doing well i think to start to generate a Communication Campaign and unicef and the World Health Organization have prepared a communication tool kit which is going out to the whole region in fact to educate audiences about the risks of missiles and also the importance of that to nations so their Communication Campaign is actually targeting travelers the general public and also Health Workers so things differently moving we need to get more supplies into the country to try to stem this outbreak as much as possible and we wish you all the best with that James Nichols there from unicef astray speaking to us from sydney thanks james now history is foreign minister says chinas treatment of a detained a stray in chinese writer is unacceptable prodemocracy advocate young john has been held in beijing since january suspected of spying marie spain says yans being interrogated daily while shackled and is pushing for him to be freed patrick period as a straight here is amnesty internationals china reception hes pushing for more International Pressure on beijing. For spying the spur notch that actually can mean a very serious punishment if convicted. Like even of to life in prison for example so i think like the problem is like how he is treated is quite typical of dissidents in china and they have no access to lawyers and family and it makes it like a very big very vulnerable to. High resource torture and other treatment and then now was to what is a lie hurt from this case to treatment has already happened so i think it is something what concerns us most is how we can push china more to allow him at least to have meetings with his lawyers but if we have more boisterous from other countries and also at the United Nations it can help the case to have a high profile and china has no choice but to respond to it of course on the surface they would always like a response by saying they have been using very tactful lawful and very legal means to deal with the case but actually live where we see how International Pressure can help to put more pressure on china are still ahead. The controversy swirling around a journalist so mad forces mountains Prime Minister to quit trust. Im Andrew Thomas in northern china and that is part of the power of siberia pipeline about to bring billions of cubic meters of gas from russia to china and its a project as much about politics as economics. Has the pope valley in northern italy got wet on sunday but the next system is one to get notice the tail of it is that she wrapped around itself in western france its contains a lot of atlantic air but its going to draw in something much cold is a position overnight between sunday and monday spreading eastwards the northern flank produces snow even on low ground such that the daytime mex from during monday in vienna is 3 in belize for war sorts one with really cool things down his courses south to 6 in ankara 14 in athens and is a bit of a breeze to go with in london despite the sunshine now to take you to say the breezes less the temperatures havent changed a lot zurich 72. 00 but the sun is rather more prevalent as the snow than runs down further south through the balkans towards north greased are some of thats going to spill across as it always does into morocco so rebuts got a wet day 16 on monday and that extends a long ways through morocco towards our area just crossing the border i think during tuesday really is for about they get to rather poor days now as dry as the south bronx or tropical africa more or less we start to see the hamas in that northeasterly breeze comes through it hasnt done much yet because you can see from the skies 40 view these are the cloudy or blue. The Worlds Largest oil producer has failed to trade on a foreign stock. Transparency valuation over ambition want to happen or the Worlds Largest oil producer and you dont. Investigate. The middle east most potent economic when the Saudi Aramco Company and the state. On aljazeera. Again i missed. A reminder of our top stories this hour the white house says it will not take part in the next step of the impeachment inquiry into donald trump it describes the proceedings as baseless. Iraqs parliament has approved the resignation of Prime Minister out of the mahdi and his cabinet and weeks of protest against his government have left more than 400 people dead. And someones Prime Minister is shutting down the government and ordering as many state workers as possible to help deal with the spiraling Measles Outbreak at least 53 people have died on the Pacific Island most of them Young Children. Now World Leaders are gathering in spain for climate talks and theyre being warned that the wild is fast approaching the point of no return u. N. Chief antonio taras also says efforts so far to stop Global Warming have been utterly inadequate with the cup 25 talks about to begin in madrid mariana holmes looks at what stood in the way of action so far nations have had their differences over how to keep our planet cool but the need to weigh well that something they have long agreed on will date as did that back in 1992 at the youth summit in Rio De Janeiro signing up to the u. N. Framework convention on Climate Change even in the ninetys they recognised through this International Treaty that Climate Change was a problem that human activity was the driving force and that we all need to weigh. But what the treaty didnt address was how to reconcile the different interests of every nation on this planet so every year since 995 the conference of the parties to that treaty what we now refer to as the coop have come together to try to work it all out thousands of observers have joined them theres been debate negotiation a lot of science a lot of jargon and some major disagreements which makes the deal in paris in 2015 all the more remarkable countries united behind limiting warming the same tree to well below true degrees celsius above preindustrial levels ideally one and a half they pledged to reduce emissions and developed nations committed to a 100000000000. 00 a year fund by 2020 to help poorer nations adept and develop a new planet friendly way last year they agreed to most though not all of the rules on how to do it all with an eye on 2020 when they will lay be a what they have done and plenty to question missions which is why what happens in 2019 really matches if rich nations failed to deliver on that 100000000000. 00 climate finance revived disputes with the developing nations over emissions of countries fail to agree on coven trading roles with bipolar as pay for their emissions it could interrupt the worlds transition to clean energy and if nations fail to commit to new more ambitious pledges well that could undermine faith in the cup itself Donald Trumps plan to pull the United States out of the Paris Agreement late next year isnt helping and Carbon Emissions is still on the rise but as it stands every nation is at the table and politicians are still being confronted by the science no matter how unpalatable some i find it. The years warmed by half a degree celsius and the 20 years after that 1st cup meeting and 995. 00 but despite some fictions the cup is the only multilateral climate for and we have when nations can work on their differences and right now the future of our planet depends on it while africa is already struggling with the effects of Climate Change and as nick clark reports from kenya its the water supply thats especially at risk. If you join me alongside the mara river in kenya and were ready to demonstrate the kind of thing thats at stake in madrid now the rhythm are emerges from the foothills of the mouth of forest to go on and flow through the mass im our game reserve and into the Serengeti National park and then it flows into Lake Victoria 200 kilometers away downstream and the whole river basin is worth economically around
