put i don't know if you know but i tweeted. about the payments but they didn't come out of the campaign fact my first question when i heard about it was did they come out of the campaign because that could be a little dicey and the line out of the white house is clear. as the president said we've stated many times he did nothing wrong there are no charges against him he did nothing wrong there are no charges against him in this he did nothing wrong the u.s. constitution calls high crimes and misdemeanors but you know make is a treading carefully. and i just don't think that engaging in speculation is the way to go and certainly i think impeachment talk is something that is not something we should be engaging in right now i don't think i've witnessed anything like that with this over the last year and. probably the american people haven't in modern times if there weren't people be a juror so you wouldn't expect greta. to make it

be so impeachment and do you hear what the house representative think that's because it's the house the votes to open an impeachment trial which then takes place in the senate republicans control both houses of congress that might be of some comfort to trump but by no means office total security. now for some of the other stories making the news today the democratic national committee in the us says an attempted hack into its voter database has been thwarted this comes two years after russian operatives hacked into democratic party computers during the election facilitating the release of tens of thousands of emails it's not known who was behind this latest hacking attempt. after a hinge of children who crossed into bangladesh without parents were orphaned by violence in me in march it was previously thought that they had simply been separated from their living parents the new finding by save the children comes one year since me and maher began expelling seven hundred thousand rohingya muslims.

australia will have the new i mean it's a low little over a hundred percent. depends on whether a lot illusion for a spill succeeds tomorrow if it does does happen then nothing to the prime minister said he will resign and he will stand down and open the way flora here's a is near misses peter don't stand along with also be two other candidates the treasurer scott lawson and possibly the foreign minister julie bishop so it's all open a little bit very very undecided about exactly what's going to happen but humans are likely to be interesting to it is at least ok roger what prompted all of this what was there a galvanizing issue. well the the brightest has been on the outer if you like in the past few months now he's pulling through magically in the opinion polls and so has his party the liberal party let's party because of the government's an

energy policy prime minister turnbull is seen as a center left if you like and some people say he has more in common with the opposition labor party than he does with his own conservatives and he's very supportive of the climate change action of the mission targets and that has coincided with a dramatic increase in energy prices here in australia it doubled almost over the past year and a lot of people are rightly that and that's what the criticism and here's a slump in the opinion poll as of late ok well let's take a listen to how now to what prime minister turnbull had to say about what's going on. the reality is that a minority in the party room. supported by. others outside the parliament have sought to. bully intimidate others into. making this change of leadership that

they're seeking. ok allegations there of bullying of intimidation why are australian part of politics so turbulent. well i suppose it's partly because of israeli and people generally pretty cynical about their politicians they're disillusioned with most political parties and that's right what one of the reasons why i know the prime ministers don't stay in power for their long we've had eight or so of full front ministers in the congress eighteen years one of them sir twice but that's an indication of you know how cynical people are about politicians and how the listen we don't trust them and whether or not you you take malcolm turnbull's word for a lot you know he's i was thinking from his his own viewpoint there but generally speaking the electorate don't really have much time drivable liberal or labor party roger maynard for us are from sydney today roger thanks for bringing us up to date . now it's being hailed as
