so in a lawsuit the u.s. state department has announced based on lies that the 1st secretary of the communist party of cuba army general roll castro would not be able to receive a visa to that country that cynic him with little practical effect except to insult the dignity of cuba and the feelings of our people. here as president outran has lashed out as an ongoing impeachment against and pits inquiry against him called the proceedings brought by house democrats the single greatest scam in american politics the president is alleged by was supportive pressured ukraine's leader for 2 minutes and then ski to investigate his political rival joe biden ran to gallagher joins us now live from washington d.c. ending the impeachment inquiry is moving fast however both sides reacting well sunday mornings in washington d.c. a typically where all sorts of politicians and people in power take to the waves

and the airwaves at the moment are just dominated by these in the church and proceedings i was listening to stephen miller a close advisor to president trump this morning one of the architects of his immigration policy talking about this all being part of some kind of deep state inside job basically saying that the officials within the white house are trying to bring down the president but it's important to note that the whistleblower he or she we don't know who they are they don't know their identity and the director of national intelligence in a hearing before the judiciary committee said that that person followed the rules that they this was a credible report that needed to be followed up so that narrative is something i think we're going to hear a lot from the republicans even from president trump unself meanwhile the democrats staying laser focused on this call between selenski and president trump because this issue is far simpler to explain far simpler to. see what the

actual damage that potentially has been done than say the muller inquiry which was a 2 year inquiry this amorphous thing that the american public couldn't really grasp this is a simple issue of whether president donald trump withheld funds until he got dirt on a political rival from a foreign country a clearly impeachable offense now those narratives will increase as they go on but president trump is in serious trouble here subpoenas are starting to go out to senior white house officials other people who were in the room when not call was made questions are being asked about where that call the transcript of it was placed it was placed on a super secure server that's not normal protocol and now there are questions about other calls that the president made saying that other calls upon a super secret service between the president and people like putin and members of the saudi royal family so this investigation is moving very very quickly indeed if you listen to president trump talk about it right now he seems to paraphrase his

own remarks quite low energy on this it seems to be taking its toll on president trump but they will continue to defend themselves even as the democrats them at lee rush on with this investigation it should be recess right now they're not going to take that they're going to keep sending out these subpoenas and keep asking potentially very difficult questions. what happens next because the timing of this is all rather critical is that now it's coming just before the. election you know i mean ultimately this may be a decision that decided in the ballot box by the american public when they come to vote in the 2020 alexion but the democrats don't want a repeat of the miller inquiry they don't want something to drag on for months or even years so they are laser focused on what happened in this phone call and laser focus on asking as i said those very difficult questions of the trumpet ministration and the gallacher there live for us in washington d.c. thank you very much indeed. so to come in sports mercedes lewis hamilton tries to

things happen. the movement started over a bill that would have allowed extraditions from hong kong to mainland china it was permanently show.
