7:02 pm
of the house intelligence committee wa nt to before we move on to our main news i want to alert you to an e—mail that committee adam schiff, delivered a parody has just dropped of trump's phone call want to alert you to an e—mail that hasjust dropped in my inbox want to alert you to an e—mail that has just dropped in my inbox from the director general of the bbc. with the president of ukraine, which led to a tweet — one of 1a tweets the president regarding the complaint upheld has posted today — asking if schiff should face against breakfast presenter at naga "arrest for treason?" munchetty. he said many of you asked in another, the president quoted an evangelical pastor, who had suggested in a tv interview i personally review the decision of that removing trump "cause a civil war—like fracture the executive complaints unit, i had in this nation from which our country done so and looked carefully at the will never heal." arguments being made and assessed with me in the studio all the materials. i've also is alexis simendinger, examined the complaint itself, it national political was only ever in a limited way there was only ever in a limited way there was found to be a breach of our correspondent for the hill. guidelines. in this instance, i thanks forjoining us. picking up on don't think that her words were that, 14 thanks forjoining us. picking up on that, m tweets from donald trump, sufficient enough to uphold the defending himself against this impeachment investigation. is that complaint. there was never any the right way, is that strategy sanction against naga and i hope working for him? it is very much in this step makes it clear. it talks about what a fine journalist and keeping with the president's ideas about defence was up it is also presenter she is. he goes on to say he is asked teams to discuss how we
7:03 pm
right from the playbook used during the robert mueller investigation into the russian probe for two manage lie discussions on air in the years. the question is will that help him as the white house future. you might recall she had continues down this road? there are been commenting on president trump's lots of republicans and outside experts advising the white house to do things differently, to hire really sharp attorneys, bring a comments to a woman in congress who he said should go home and naga legal team and two locked the present communications on twitter munchetty had made reference to that, sane people of colour who work in the bbc, knows what those sort of and a limit to be represented from comments mean. —— that people of surrogates but the president is having none of it. looking at the colour. that complaint that was republican party so far, so far they upheld has been reversed. she had are standing by the president but his tweet about the civil war was been sharing her own personal too much even for some in his party. experience and got widespread support, including from the mayor of i too much even for some in his party. , let me show you this. he was london. back to our top story and the white house is stepping up its outraged, saying... at what point attack on democrats and the whistle—blower who first raised concerns about the conversation between president trump and his are we likely to start to see cracks ukrainian counterpart. this weekend mr trump tweeted he had within the republican party support wanted to meet the author for the president? that is hard to of the complaint.
7:04 pm
and also the person who gave predict, at this point we are seeing the whisteblower that information. and then his senior advisor stephen miller went on television making the case. republicans trying to batten down the president of the united states the hatches and stand where they is the whistle—blower, and this stand. what will happen as they see individual is a saboteur trying to undermine a democratically elected government. more evidence is whether they themselves start to get queasy about and joining us now is dan meyer — their own political futures. what is who served as the executive director this considered it to the party and for intelligence community if they start to believe that the whistle—blowing & source ground has shifted under the chances protection until 2017. of republicans holding control of the senate, for instance, in 2020, he is now a managing partner you will start to see a change. what of the law firm tully rinckey. about the equation for the democrats, particularlyjoe biden, their frontrunner i mispronounced your surname so democrats, particularlyjoe biden, theirfrontrunner in democrats, particularlyjoe biden, their frontrunner in the twenty20 race. if the president doubles down, it is likely he will, joe biden is apologies. if i could start with some of the president's comments, likely to be damaged by that, isn't basically saying and questioning it? key as and there is lots of what the whistle—blowers saying. conjecture about whether the former vice president is up to the task, of what is contained in the complaint saying it was all hearsay. defending himself and his family, presumably the process, though, it and also trying to argue the case guards against the very thing the for democrats and democrat policies president is talking about. the
7:05 pm
against donald trump in the first thing to notice is the president with the united states is election. there is also evidence charged with protecting the that while joe biden is still whistle—blower which is why this is holding his own in the polling, he is falling a little behind in some awkward. the disclosure is about fundraising and there is concern him. the president is not the he'd is not gathering steam with whistle—blower, he is the protector younger voters. so all of these of whistle—blowers. the motive of a whistle—blower is extraneous to implications, whether it relates to protection, when congress wrote the ukraine or not, may be seen more law, it wrote it knowing whistle—blowers might have different clearly as it moves on. if you got ideas about why they are blowing the whistle. all they have to do is have rid ofjoe biden, that would work for the president? it would a credible urgent concern to report and then the process, as long as it certainly relieve him of what he is done lawfully, those worried and thought was his toughest the whistle—blower should stay in adversarial. and if it turns out the whistle—blower should stay in thejob not be reprised or the whistle—blower should stay in the job not be reprised or harassed by the executive bench. you have that elizabeth warren, the massachusetts senator is the one who reported suggesting who this was the falls into line as the leader behind joe biden if he should take a swim, more “— reported suggesting who this was the more —— who this whistle—blower the president would argue that he might be, from intelligence has a very well practised argument background, there is a huge focus on the identity of this person. as the against her as well. thank you very much forjoining us. security at risk? either things in well, one republican — place to safeguard them? the arguing that the president's actions as we know them so far, warrant impeachment — is former fortu nate place to safeguard them? the fortunate situation for the us senator, jeff flake. whistle—blower is that the president
7:06 pm
he retired from congress last has very little personal authority year and was a vocal within the executive branch so it is critic of the president. today, he wrote an op—ed, the senior officials within the urging fellow republicans "to risk your careers in favor agency the whistle—blower belongs to of your principles." senator flakejoins who are now charged with protecting us now from harvard. the whistle—blower. when the identity is revealed, which i am good to have ufs, senator. you say sure will come out, i don't think it in your piece today that your isa sure will come out, i don't think it collea g u es in your piece today that your colleagues in the senate have a is a good idea, but the agency that moral obligation to put their has the whistle—blower under their principles first. it is striking charge steps in and make sure the when the president is talking of whistle—blower is not reprised potential civil war, treason charges for a congressional chair, that against, will be uncomfortable for the whistle—blower but they can go there are but a handful of republicans who are speaking out? for it with a very meaningful career. the president has been talking in the last couple of minutes, i don't there are but a handful of republicans who are speaking ounm have the video yet but he seems to has shocked me. like i said in the be inferring he is trying to find piece, you can make an argument on each side of the impeachment out the identity of the question, i think that his actions whistle—blower. he says, we are trying to find out do warrant impeachment, but it is that the whistle—blower who reports things that are incorrect and he not a constitutional requirement goes on to say, this statement to that he be impeached. we could very well say, congress could say we have the president of ukraine was perfect got an election coming up within a but the whistle—blower who reported year, let's let the voters take care it to give a different statement. of this and that would be all right.
7:07 pm
the republic —— republican in fact, that is my preference. i do not want to see impeachment come. but how in the world my colleagues congressmen said, he meet up what i said. he is still pushing up the in the republicans could say that line he is going after the the president deserves real action, whistle—blower. i know the after all that we have seen, i don't whistle—blower. i know the whistle—blower protection act are supposed to keep the identity know, i don't understand. —— real secret. 0r supposed to keep the identity secret. or her identity secret. that election. they would say that when is right and that is why the head of you look at the transcript between the agencies charge a stepping in at the present and the ukrainian this point. i was head of the agency i would reach out to the president leader, he does not say he wants an investigation into joe biden who appointed me, and i would tell the white house to back off. the directly. when you have a president chairman of the committees have said back off. it is in the interest of the president because the more he asking one president to investigate makes the statements, the more he provides evidence of motives to one of his opponents, and involve reprise if they should be a hearing to determine whether the the attorney general in that effort, whistle—blower was it is not abuse of power. i don't to determine whether the whistle— blower was harassed to determine whether the know how you can look at that and whistle—blower was harassed or retaliated against. there are other see anything about that.|j aspects that the federal government know how you can look at that and see anything about that. i want to pick up on a point adjustjust made need to step in and do theirjob. could it be an obstruction of
7:08 pm
justice? i certainly could be and about those who are in tough that gets into the equation of what districts, facing the election, who laws may be violated, whether there are worried about the fate of the was a strong senate, it is easy from where you laws may be violated, whether there was a strong army are setting to say they should fight laws may be violated, whether there was a strong army of foreign power, lam sure was a strong army of foreign power, i am sure we have had foreign powers his re—election, but for those in by american presidents in the past but if there was a tempering in the swing districts, it is a tough call? election laws through that process ora election laws through that process or a mishandling or misuse of —— sitting. federal information systems or a swing districts, it is a tough call? -- sitting. it is, politically, if you value your political life more classified system, all of that could than other things, yes it is. i be actionable under criminal law and noted in the piece i am living the administrative law and the consequences of president's actions could be seen as noted in the piece i am living the consequences of my decision to stand out and speak out against the obstructions in that context, but president. i would out and speak out against the the officials on the hook either one president. iwould have out and speak out against the president. i would have liked to have said another term but not at is below the president. the people the cost of going along with of the access to the systems. if behaviour are simply couldn't there are violations, my sense is condone and actions and policy i could not support. so it is they may have occurred at a level just below the president. thank you difficult now that i should say the so much forjoining us on the president is popular among my party programme. the divide in the nation until he isn't and when cracks start is actually playing out in the polling numbers as well. to show, or people believe that in the end it will be a detriment, he 55% of people
7:09 pm
think there should be will be a detriment, then things can an impeachment inquiry — change rather quickly. so whether it against 45 % who disagree is political calculus orjust saying with the entire process. i'm gonna stand out for the principles that animated my first and asked to pass judgement — 42 % think the president deserves to be impeached. campaign, whenl 36% don't and another 22% principles that animated my first campaign, when i ran for office. think it's too early. whatever it takes, i think you ought now to understand how people are discussing the topic, to see let's not support the we'rejoined now by brian mudd — election for the president. you have host of the morning rush & the brian mudd show on iheart radio said that there are 35 senators who in palm springs florida. would vote for impeachment, behind closed doors. what would it take for them to make public their views on let's talk a little bit about those this issue? well, obviously we have pools, 35% in favour of an i'io impeachment enquiry. not necessarily this issue? well, obviously we have no secret votes in the senate. i impeachment. the democrats have to tread carefully, don't they? there there is no love for the president is no question there is a little bit ofa is no question there is a little bit or his policies, most of my of a disconnect, even in this country about what impeachment is colleagues, all of them, aspire to and what it isn't. by and large, do more when they got to the senate. then simply support the president's impeachment is a political process. policies and do his nominees, rather high crimes, misdemeanours, what than legislating, there is very little legislating going on right does it mean? there is a big i'iow.
7:10 pm
little legislating going on right now. so there is not a love, behind closed doors, but there is a significant amount of political fear difference between an enquiry versus an actual vote or impeachment and that the president can go against that would be the difference in the them, with one tweet, can sink their numbers you are talking about, the 55% versus the 42%. this is are political careers. and so, you are saying go ahead with the vote in the not going to see many members stand house which would bring up the whole up not going to see many members stand up and tell they think that the trial in the senate where it is president, his actions may have made highly unlikely the president would him politically vulnerable. that can be removed from office. going deeper happen pretty quickly. and we will see in the future. i think, look at into this call, i was reading that jumped out at me. even if people the investigations that will go on with regard to the ukraine matter. we re when officials from the white house jumped out at me. even if people were more in favour of an impeachment enquiry, when it came to are deposed and brought to talk the actual act of impeaching the president, there are things got a about this. thanks can unravel pretty quickly, and perhaps they bit muddier with more republicans are saying, they think you may have might. senator we will have to leave asked forforeign are saying, they think you may have asked for foreign help are saying, they think you may have asked forforeign help but are saying, they think you may have asked for foreign help but they don't think that was illegal. they may not like it but they don't think it there, thank you so much for joining us on the show. it is worth impeaching. i am curious what you are hearing. the devil is christian, the us comedy show saturday night live premiered this in the details and a question weekend and the democrat's ongoing impeachment inquiry proved becomes, what is the catalyst behind to be fertile ground.
7:11 pm
a lot of this? the president asking despite saying he hates playing in the first place was pertaining to activities that were taken by donald trump — reprised his role presidential candidates then vice for the show‘s opening monologue. presidentjoe presidential candidates then vice president joe biden, which he began by calling rudy giuliani, presidential candidates then vice presidentjoe biden, which by his own admission, he did end up playing played by kate mckinnon. a role in a prosecutorial situation take a look. mr trump, what's new? what do you mean what's new, rudy? i'm being impeached! involving a ukraine company. but in laughter. of itself raises questions but above it's the greatest and beyond that, if you take a look, presidential harassment of all time, i would know. there is one interesting detail that i'm like the president happened about two weeks ago before of harassment. all of this broke and that was the you've got to relax, mr trump, we got nothing to worry about! former acting fbi director was nobody's gonna find out about our illegal side dealing with the ukraine. recommended by the department of good. justice for indictment. that or how we tried to cover up those side dealings. great. mattress for a number of reasons or how we plan to cover because he is attached to the entire tramp russia collusion thing. the up the cover—up. and what you don't see there in that alleged conspiracies going back to tape is the very next scene, it cuts to await short of kate playing rudy the 2016 election cycle. it seems interesting that the timing of the recommended indictment seem to bring giuliani and she is in the cnn tv
7:12 pm
about this whole whistle—blower studios discussing all of this. on a situation less than a week later. we serious note, rudy giuliani was all we re situation less than a week later. we were talking earlier about whether over the sunday shows yesterday, joe biden becomes the unfortunate what do we make of the idea that he victim, that the president doubles was running some sort of shadow down, his numbers suffer and operation in ukraine? elizabeth warren pops up as the was running some sort of shadow operation in ukraine ?|j was running some sort of shadow operation in ukraine? i think this had been the sort of speculation candidate. she someone who could win going into the weekend. was rudy giuliani acting alone? but if you in florida? she is pouring well all ofa in florida? she is pouring well all look at what he had to say, he was of a sudden. joe biden was the odds—on favourite in the states but saying i was working at the behest elizabeth warren is now a very close of the state department. i was second. she has the momentum working with them. that is something candidate. one thing i will point that i think we're going to hear a lot more about, going forward. you to and we saw this in the race because, had he been operating as a stand—alone, that would be la st you to and we saw this in the race last year, typically florida as far as democrat states go is pretty com pletely stand—alone, that would be completely if he was in fact working moderate but you and seeing a crowded field for a governor lead to alongside the state department, that a democratic socialist actually changes the narrative completely. that brings the whole administration into this. we will watch that winning the nomination in florida with only about a third of the vote. if it is crowded, by the time that closely. they are strangely upbeat at florida votes come next year, you the conservative party conference. brimming with optimism that could see someone like elizabeth borisjohnson is on the verge warren who might not be mainstream of striking a deal with juncker for florida poor at —— pull out a
7:13 pm
and barnier, and that brexit will be done in 31 days' time. odd, since the eu is majority because she elicits a certain amount of passion and she increasingly pessimistic. and, without a deal, has begun to pull a lot of the the law says borisjohnson must ask for an extension. bernie sanders support. thank you still, the conservative party delegates are confident their new leader will, for bringing us the view from somehow, pull a rabbit from the hat. florida. from his hat, sajid javid, pulled out a very big rabbit today. worth of things we were talking the chancellor announced he will be about was the number of tweets. 1a raising the national living wage you counted in total, what struck me to 66% of the median wage — that's £10.50 right now — by 202a. this morning, reading some of those which is a big deal. was the way the tone has really ramped up as he sought to defend the rise will see the pay of 4 million british people go up, himself. it reminded me of boris by an average of £a,000. johnson when he returned to parliament and all of this talk suddenly, there is a lot about the tone that is being taken of money to go around, right now, is there a risk of maybe there is an election in the offing. who knows? inciting or encouraging violence? you are starting to see some lets speak to our chief political republicans beginning to speak out, correspondent, vikki young. they are small in number. it is a the money tree gets ever bigger? we concern with tone. yeah, and the divisions either, we can see them.
7:14 pm
had it last week with labour and now the conservatives. they don't want perhaps the divisions no more pronounced than in florida where it to be caught out like they were in is always very close. in this 2017 when they thought the election country, it is notjust on the right would be dominated by brexit but when we have had a worrying labour, jeremy corbyn, the leader, we nt labour, jeremy corbyn, the leader, went round the country talking about rhetoric, we have had it from the other things and it seemed to be opposition parties as well. it goes popular. he managed to not win but across the political spectrum but it get the vote share for labour up by doesn't help if the talking about education, health and all the rest of it. now the commander—in—chief the prime minister are not setting the tone. conservative party want a message to the greek island be that austerity is finished, if we of lesbos, is struggling to cope get brexit done we can move on to with the sheer number of refugees it's being asked to process. talk about those things. more money the moira refugee camp on the island hosts 12,000 people for hospitals, more police, more in a space meant for 3,000. thousands of them are stuck money for education. but of course, moving on is pretty difficult. the idea of getting brexit done, which on a hillside outside the camp — every single time is mentioned and, believe me, it is mentioned a lot in and are in conditions which are that conference, it just gets an surely going to deteriorate automatic round of applause. it is as winter sets in. this weekend there was a fire, not going to be easy, for boris in an olive grove where many of the refugees johnson to get onto talking about were living in tents. at least one person those other issues. there was a is said to have died. to add to the pressure on the greeks, there has been piece in the wall streetjournal a sudden influx of refugees basically saying that the uk there as president erdogan of turkey looks to increase conservatives hoped to flip labour the pressure on the eu. districts that backed brexit. i was he has been threatening
7:15 pm
wondering if you head any more about to allow more syrian refugees to travel to europe, the strategy where you are? through turkey, if the eu fails to provide him with financial support to house them. lets speak to eva cossay, wondering if you head any more about the strategy where you are ?|j wondering if you head any more about the strategy where you are? i think thatis the strategy where you are? i think that is their plan. borisjohnson, she is from human rights watch and has been monitoring the problem he has got, is that at the problem he has got, is that at the moment, the bill, the law that the situation in greece. was passed, forces him to ask for a before we talk specifically about delay to brexit if you can't get a the camp, talk to me about the deal by the 19th of october. so a uptick in arrivals on lesbos in the lot of the talk is what does he do miss it if you does end up going along with the law and asking for last couple of weeks. it is true, we that extension to article 50, how have seen an increase in arrivals damaging my tv him if he then has to since the beginning of august, not go intoa damaging my tv him if he then has to go into a general election broken just to lesbos but other greek islands and through the land border that promise. —— damaging to him. with turkey. this may be for various people are saying it is pretty obvious to most voters that boris johnson has done everything he can reasons, including the increasingly to deliver brexit. you could end up in the courts again in october. the hostile situation for asylum seekers problem for his is if you are a in turkey. i am asking you to make a brexiteer, someone who thinks it is the most important issue, nigel political point which you might not farage will be sending in the be aware of, but would it be general election, how many votes could they take ? possible that president erdogan is general election, how many votes could they take? that could be the strategy, to disrupt the areas where using syrian refugees to put pressure on the eu by relaxing the
7:16 pm
the conservatives are hoping to take seats from labour. so it is a big controls in turkey and relaxing the patrols in the mediterranean to problem. and there is a lot of chat allow them to come? we are looking about whether boris johnson can into it and trying to figure out why somehow write to letters to the eu, this is happening so i cannot make requesting this extension to article 50,i such a statement because we do not requesting this extension to article 50, i mean all sorts of possibilities are being talked about. we are at the side where have the proof that this is ministers are being asked whether happening but we cannot exclude borisjohnson might ministers are being asked whether boris johnson might go ministers are being asked whether borisjohnson might go to jail rather than obey the law. we have that, of course. what is the latest information you have about this fire got to that point. so pretty heady that took place? this fire took stuff, but i think lots of government insiders think this could place yesterday. according to the end up in the supreme court at the fire brigade it started from a end up in the supreme court at the end of october. meanwhile we have this extra parliamentary time, the opposition parties still sitting in container and it expanded to seven the house of commons, not in recess other containers that have been which is strange, that doesn't burned. dozens of families are now usually happen. what did they decide without shelter. the tragic news is today? they haven't decided an awful lot. i think this is pity helpful that at least one woman has died and for borisjohnson. lot. i think this is pity helpful for boris johnson. up to a lot. i think this is pity helpful for borisjohnson. up to a point, the opposition parties have managed at least nine injured people are to do things like change the law, hospitalised and being treated. what forcing him to delay brexit, the happened is that there was a 19th of october, but that is about demonstration in the camp when the
7:17 pm
where they have got you. they fire broke out and at the same time, category on an alternative leader. jeremy corbyn is divisive for some the police were using force to stop in the opposition. some of the mp5 have left his own party, some of the the police were using force to stop the demonstration. there are reports on the ground that the police used conservatives have been bitten out of their parties and the liberal tear gas. on one hand, you have the democrats have said we will not have jeremy corbyn as by minister even smoke from the fire, on the other for a week. so they are a bit stuck oi'i hand you had police tear gas and for a week. so they are a bit stuck on what to do next. and i think a motion of no confidence, vote of no—confidence in the prime minister asylu m hand you had police tear gas and asylum seekers trapped there were panicking of course. given the looks like it will not happen this week, purely because even if they we re week, purely because even if they were able to win it, you then have overcrowding, it is a tough to replace boris johnson were able to win it, you then have to replace borisjohnson with situation. thank you so much. thank someone to replace borisjohnson with someone else and there is no you very much. agreement over who that figure should be. ok, looks like you are this is beyond 100 days. still to come — 23 years the last one there so i will let you after spitting image last aired, go! thank you very for that. the puppet satire looks to return to take on trump, putin and the royal family. we talked about the optimism at the conference, borisjohnson has a great mandate from the conservative members but i want to show you andrea leadsom talking on the main prince harry has paid tribute to a british soldier, killed during a counter—poaching stage. this is a 101 and how to operation, in malawi. while on his tour of southern engage your audience, have a look... africa, he said protecting nature
7:18 pm
so, when boris became should not be dismissed as "hippy". prime minister, it was such a relief to see, so clearly, our royal correspondent nicholas his personal commitment witchell is travelling with to getting us out of the eu. the prince and sent this report. he has the personality, and the pizzazz, to get brexit over the line, doesn't it? some applause. yes, he does. the national park in malawi, a place which should be a sanctuary for wildlife, for elephants in particular, except for this. the fantastic. that looks like 100 days scourge particular, except for this. the scourge of the poaching gangs which kill wildlife in africa's game audience, after one of myjokes. but parts. it is a problem which takes you can't fault her for effort, the human life as well. prince harry problem is what that actually tells me is that there are a number of laid a wreath at a memorial for people there who were not signed up to this. so you have david gauke, guardsman matty talbot of the coldstrea m guardsman matty talbot of the coldstream guards. he was killed earlier this year when he was on an dominic grieve the 21 who have been anti—poaching control in support of suspended from the party, they are local park rangers. -- matthew still there and mingling, because talbot. this is a carefully staged some of them want to be conservative members at the next election. then example of the sharp end of what you have members who voted remain, happens against the poachers, the then business is concerned about underlying issue is the need to brexit who are still sponsors of the co nse rve underlying issue is the need to conserve nature. and on that, harry conservative party. so not everybody is drinking the andrea leadsom who was opening a new section of
7:19 pm
