S. Backed government in libya had signed this cease fire agreement and have to ask some time until the morning to think about it and then suddenly in the middle of the night left moscow without any signature so this was seen as a failure of course for moscow and for president putin and this letter now seems to be safe face saving operation to make sure that russia is back in the game meanwhile the internationally recognized government in tripoli wants catherine tunisia to attend the pearland peace conference on sunday are puerto montt up to why it has more from tripoli.

K. Responded to their threat after the u. S.

Which is your master couldnt do anything let alone you who are smaller weaker deceitful in the negotiations with those a steel hand in a building glove they cannot be trusted we have no problem with talks but not with the u. S. But domestically the country has seen protests against fuel price rises and in the last week condemnation of the downing of the ukrainian past indigent after it left the broad with the loss of 176 lives the message one of regret and condolence holds to order the plane crash was a bitter accident but through our hot next month iran has parliamentary elections 7 polls show that the turnout could be very low and obvious concern for the legitimacy of the political system here in iran better organized these firing as you made my dear brothers and sisters my d.

As President Donald Trump has announced his defense team for the upcoming impeachment trial this includes kenneth stop the prosecutor in the failed impeachment of bill clinton 22 years ago and celebrity lawyer Alan Dershowitz who has represented Jeffrey Epstein o. J. Simpson Roman Polanski and mike tyson the trial will be led by white House Counsel the polonium and trumps lawyers. The Legal Process was set in motion in the senate today. No is following events for us in washington and these new additions to trumps legal team will be prominent well known household names amongst the American Public whats been the initial reaction to this announcement. I think people clearly are looking at this and basically saying that trump is clearly going to be taking this very very seriously based on his legal team you have Alan Dershowitz whos a long time harvard law professor and considered one of americas preeminent constitutional scholars interestingly enough hes a democrat that voted for Hillary Clinton in the last election however hes come out very publicly in many media appearances and elsewhere basically saying that he does not think trump should be impeached based on the evidence against him so that really caught trumps attention dershowitz very media savvy he often is a political or im sorry constitutional and legal analyst on television here in the u. S. And then the other ken starr essentially coming out of retirement almost ken starr very well known knowns a celebrity lawyer as well very well known here in washington as the late ninetys was a special counsel in the case against the then president bill clinton during his impeachment so you having 2 people brought on to the legal team that are very well known and that i think this signals that trump is taking this very seriously and he wants people that can deal with the intense media spotlight that is about to happen once this senate trial kicks off next week and of course one of the reasons people be watching this site closely is because President Trump is up for reelection so when his lawyer is defending him in the senate trial they will also be representing him to the American Public. Yeah they will be and this is unprecedented its worth repeating here theres only been 3 u. S. President s that have been impeached but only 2 that have gone to the senate for a trial but only one thats going to a senate for a trial that is also up for reelection and thats donald trump when clinton was impeached and had the trial the senate he was not up for reelection as donald trump is so thats why this is so im president it important to remind our viewers as well that the jury in this trial is going to be the 100 u. S. Senators and they key number is 20 because in order for donald trump to be removed from office there has to be 2 thirds of the 100 senators that vote to convict him right now the senate is 53 republicans 45 democrats so to get to that number 66 which is 2 thirds that means 20 republicans need to vote to convict donald trump thats the key number there and thats where what is essentially coming down to a numbers game here as long as trump can hold on to those 20 he wont be impeached or convicted and removed from office i should say again this all starts with the trial thats kicking off on tuesday but a key number to watch is that 21 day thank you very much gavel in washington.

J. Simpson Roman Polanski and mike tyson. Well weve been following a caravan of almost 3000 people heading north through guatemala towards the Mexican Border the aim to reach the United States most people are escaping extreme poverty and Gang Violence in honduras its not likely theyll ever get a chance to actually step on u. S. Soil john homan has more now from a migrant shelter in Guatemala City on the problems they will face in reaching the United States. These are the people the freshly arrived in the just curing to get into the shelter and i think theyll tell you a lot from what weve been hearing from the people that we spoke to last night a lot of people are fleeing for economic reasons things in honduras have been bad economically and theyre getting worse a lot of unemployment a lot of people struggling especially those who work in the countryside and then on the other hand a lot of people that are fleeing violence on duras has gangs that suit to be extorting and killing the population and thats been the case for some time in the country so theres quite a strong sort of things that are propelling people from out to get out of what tamala but on the other hand mexico has said that these people you can see going into the shelter at the moment probably full of from sort of hope that they might be able to get to the United States mexico saying that it wont let them pass that it wont let them try and see it that it will perhaps let them into the country if they want to ask for asylum there but thats it and the United States even more sort of has the door firmly closed basically saying that even if they arrive in the United States not for asylum that asylum request will be outsourced back here to guatemala so a lot of hope at the moment but almost quite at this depressing situation because these people are probably not going to have a little chance of getting and staying in the United States.
