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.

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 InternationalFinancial 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.

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 d
