you should go 1st what does it take to change the course of history. raising the iron curtain and start september 30th on t.w. . the but. this is the w.'s live from berlin evidence emerges of u.s. president donald trump prodding ukraine's president for damaging information on a political rival a memo of a phone call shows trump urging volodymyr selenski to open and an allegation connected to presidential candidate joe biden the call has prompted democrats in

the u.s. congress to launch a formal impeachment inquiry against president trump we're live in washington also coming up it's back to business parliament resumes in london the prime minister suspended it but the supreme court also rules him he is now bracing for a bridge to battle with lawmakers were in london and a disaster in the making in the world's oceans science is something us climate panel warn of a dire threat to humanity rising sea level super storms move more flooding and more droughts. it is great to have you along everyone well it is shaping up to be an eventful day in an already remarkable week starting in the united states the white house. has

released a rough transcript of a telephone conversation between president dol trump and ukraine's president with a lot of resiliency well it shows that president slump did prague mr selenski to investigate former u.s. vice president joe biden and biden's son hunter biden who had worked for a ukrainian energy firm that phone call has now triggered allegations that president front behaved in appropriately well it has also prompted prompted rather the democrats congressional leader house speaker nancy pelosi to launch a formal impeachment inquiry against president trump it was a long time coming. but nancy pelosi has finally made the announcement many in her party have been waiting for the actions of the trump presidency revealed dishonorable fact of the president's betrayal of his oath of office betrayal of our national security and the trail of the integrity of our elections the president

must be held accountable no one is above the law strong words from the speaker but why now with a complaint about donald trump from a whistle blower has focused her attention it alleges that the president put pressure on ukraine to investigate former vice president joe biden and his son biden is one of the potential challengers to trump in the american presidential elections next year. we have a president believe there is no limit to his power to president believes he can do anything and get away with it but the president believes he's above the law. pursuing the leader of another nation to investigate a political phone go for this election is not the conduct of an american president . chum knew the inquiry announcement was coming and he was an impressed. look it's just a continuation of the which is the worse we'll show you the political history he has a short history. of the best unemployment numbers in the. trunk his face down multiple

scandals since taking office with the republicans controlling the senate even if he is impeached whether he is removed from the white house is another matter entirely . and us president on trump just spoke moments ago about that infamous phone call let's take a listen to his reaction it's the single greatest witch hunt in american history probably in history but in american history it's a disgraceful thing the letter was a great letter meaning the letter revealing the call that was done at the insistence of myself and other people that read it it was a friendly letter there was no pressure the way you had that built up that call it was going to be the call from hell it turned out to be a nothing call other than a lot of people said i never knew you could be so nice all right want to turn now

to. a fully ileus he is a washington correspondent got to see a problem now to start of course everybody is still digesting this documents but based on your initial reading is this a direct sanskrit or just note taking of a conversation. well it's very clear and it's clearly stated here actually on page one of already got it highlighted here it says that it is not a verbatim transcript of a discussion it says the text in this document records the notes and recollections of situation room officers and a c. policy stuff assigned to listen and memory memorized the conversation in written form the conversation takes place so it's very clear that this also was sort of a prepared document even when you read through it it looks like it was a clean bill essentially it was you know supposed made easier to read for people and it seems also that there were you know large chunks of conversation.

it's almost for me for the rest of the stuff here who've read through it it seems almost very difficult to think that you could remember so much of a conversation so obviously whether it was recorded or remains unknown for now what it's being cold for though is that the full. not not just a transcript be released but in fact you know essentially a full reading of what took place is one democrats are asking for so i'm just wondering you know after you've just said all of that how significant is this document i mean is this the smoking gun that the democrats were looking for or is that a storm in a teacup as republicans probably claim. i mean many people here particularly the democrats are not surprised in some ways to what has come out of course we did have preparation of walk to expect yesterday we knew that it was

going to be released you know president in previous days of course but also you know stage and watch was said in the conversation of course when you're sitting down and you're reading it as we have done in the past few minutes it's very clear it's you know it doesn't really leave much for the imagination over exactly what was said in that conversation and have directly president trump asks for certain things i mean i just want to read one section here it says i would like to would like you to do is a favor this is president trump speaking to president selenski of ukraine i would like you to do as a favor though because our country has been through a lot and ukraine knows a lot of he then mentions robert muller let's not forget that this took this conversation took place the day after robert appeared and then it goes on later on president trump begins to speak about his own personal attorney mr rudy giuliani and also interestingly brings in general william the attorney general william bars

so the democrats are just saying essentially that this is one part in a chain of. a issues which they see which they're waiting for the full more information essentially from former whistle blower within the white house before we end our conversation as you reference this all of course came to light the reason why we're even discussing this is that a whistle blower filed a complaint complaining about inappropriate behavior by the president will we hear from him or her are they expected to testify in the. coming. well what we do know is that the whistleblower has said that they do want to appear and they want to appear in front to give a statement and essential to explain exactly why they made this plane to in the 1st

place and of course the democrats are saying that until they have all the information because at the moment let's not forget and i want to stress this once more this this transcript that was released today is just one element there are more to come they believe and of course is referring directly to the whistleblower and what exactly they what their complaint originally was they said that they would appear it could come as early as this week in front of a committee and at the moment what we need to do is just wait and see exactly what the full reaction is from within the democrats because at the moment it's just coming in slowly but surely but they don't want to jump ahead too soon publicly at least reporting from washington thank you now to another political firestorm in london the house of commons has got back to work after the supreme court ruled that prime minister board's johnston's corroding

of parliament was unlawful well johnson flew home from the united nations in new york overnight and is back in his official residence at number 10 downing street while in parliament meantime the speaker of the house lost no time said there will be full school for emergency debates. planning to put a general election back on the tape earlier attorney general geoffrey cox addressed the house of commons he called on parliament to pass legislation allowing for a general election. the bottom line is very scared. her or her feet have no moral right to sit on these green bird sheets and want. a job like to hear it mr see. her walk through your be an

ostomy sorry i let her decide upon whether he should continue to save your marriage see you are right there are certain 3400000 people. who are murdered these are disgraced. emotions running high in the house of commons here with me in the studio now is quitting peel a senior analyst with the think tank chatham house in london good to have you here in person extraordinary times in the u.k. i mean we're glued to our screens and every move in westminster how precedented is what we're witnessing right now just a few it's it's completely uncharted territory this really is dramatic i think what we're seeing fundamentally there and that's what's so important about yesterday's decision in the supremes court is that a pall of month that had gone wake of the week over the last 40 or 50 is and the prime minister got stronger and stronger suddenly the balance of power is tipping

back again and parliament is being put into a much stronger position to hold the government to account so you have boris johnson with no majority flailing around trying to find a way through and we've just seen geoffrey cox the. corning parliament a disk race and a dead parliament well that many parliamentarians would turn round and say exactly the same but the government but it still begs the question i mean mr johnson's position is a tenable on time i mean he's come back from many many setbacks. he has but he's had ever since he became prime minister he's lost everything that i think he has a game plan which is still alive and that game plan is essentially to take a very hard line on bret's it crash out if necessary and get an early election way he can present himself as the passionate pro breck's it the man of the people against that ghastly elite in parliament and indeed in the courts now the question

is can he do that because parliament somewhat tied his ands by say you can't crash out without a deal and they've also said and you can't have an early election so it's like he's in a deep oh without an obvious way out why is the opposition leader jeremy career not able to capitalize on all this turmoil partly because he doesn't want to election why doesn't he want an early election because he doesn't trust boris johnson not to crash out as a result you know in the interim and secondly i think he knows that his figures don't look great in the country because the labor party is neither fish nor fowl and in the in the brits that debate they want to have one foot in the remain in europe one for the brits it can and their opinion poll ratings have been going down

so he's very cautious but he numb the less all out to be making fall more progress the party that's making progress is on the right the brics it prophecy was stealing conservative and on the center left you've got the liberal democrats who've been stealing quite a lot of labor and conservative votes in conclusion mr peel where does this leave regs it i mean has the timeline now changed because of the supreme court's decision or are we still on track with that october 31st deadline i think the timeline is changed because of what punt. did to say you car crash i would now expect we will get an extension how boris johnson handles it having said i want to ask for an extension do order. of the day so i think you have to one way or another whether he'll find some fiddle to get somebody else to us for the extension but that he wants to have that election and nobody knows how it's going to come out

the country is still incredibly evenly divided and i think we will have an election and nobody will win a majority clinton peel senior alice with the think tank chatham house or good to have you here with us in person that's. right when i bring up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world the death toll has risen to at least $37.00 people after our fall earthquake struck pakistan administered kashmir the 5.8 magnitude quake injured more than 700 people in the mountainous region where it leveled homes and split open roads. chinese president xi jinping has officially opened the new and may god airport the airport cost a whopping $16000000000.00 and has the world's biggest terminal building a starfish like structure designed by the late to renowned architect saw who did it

will eventually handle 100000000 passengers. a black panther that was seen roaming the rooftops of a northern french town a few days ago has been stolen from a zoo where it was being kept on zoo employees discovered the animals pen had been broken into overnight the panther was due to be really honed at a year when you build a titian center for domesticated wild animals. human rights groups in egypt say that more than a 1000 people have been arrested in a crackdown after rare protests against the who were present at the foot of his c.c. hundreds of demonstrators gathered in cairo and other cities last friday after online calls for el-sisi is ouster he seized power in 2013 when the military took over from the democratically elected muslim brotherhood president mohamed morsi.

and earlier we spoke to correspondent ruth michelson in cairo and she gave us more details on who was arrested well we've heard that 1438 people have got arrested a key according to one cairo based angio the egyptian commission for rights and freedoms. and that those they come from all in 20 areas across the country what we've seen so far is that these were peaceful demonstrators but also many many bystanders who just happen to have been new demonstrators that took place we also unfortunately know that the egyptian authorities have since rounded up many prominent opposition figures in advance of these protests that are expected on friday that so far into the well known human rights lawyer who was representing the demonstrators in court and at least 3 opposition figures today. with michaelson

reporting earlier from the egyptian capital of cairo a new u.n. reports has issued these starkest warning yet of a climate change catastrophe for the planet sees predicting more super storms rising sea levels and ocean dead zones scientists from the intergovernmental panel on climate change say that while seas have been helping the planet cope with rising temperatures unprecedented overheating in the ocean poses a huge threat to humanity well the report warns that sea levels will rise by about one meter by the end of this century if global warming doesn't slow down making some island nations and inhabitable well i didn't see sea scientist says say a failure to act on the new data will have grave consequences for the future of our planet the consequences for nature and humanity are sweeping in severe.

this report highlights also the urgency of timely ambitious who were needed and enduring action. what is its stake is the health of ecosystems wildlife and importantly the world we leave for our children. all right a very clear warning there now for more on this topic i'm now joined by w.'s environment departments reporter ed sheets and there are you on good to have you here with the situation is really dire what i mean they're not mincing their words or the scientists at the i.p.c.c. just how bad is the situation or can it still be salvaged a definite still be salvaged to some extent but we are talking about a very state of the world's oceans and not just the oceans but also mountain regions and poles so what we're seeing in the seas according to the report if the seas are getting warmer the sea levels are rising and this is happening faster and faster and a result of much of that to see that becoming more acidic which means

a lot of the fish to live in them and less productive there's less that we can do with our oceans and this is really difficult because the oceans like you said are real good but they absorb so much of the heat and the c o 2 that we've been spearing out from trees and so on and so in that sense it's a very stark warning so what do the changes detailed in the report the findings that have been presented today mean for people across the globe and i'm thinking of course specifically of those people living in island nations or involved other vulnerable regions in the world so they're put makes it clear that the people most affected by climate change in the oceans of the people most vulnerable and that includes indigenous people for people living in the arctic circle say or people have really had very little contribution to climate change and so if we take an example of the storms which are going to be much much stronger if you take streams the level of and storm surges if you combine the rise in sea levels with increased

rainfall increased wind then if you live in a coastal city which a lot of the population do or if you live in a small island nation in the strength of the storm that they're going to be seeing even in best case prediction pretty. she's for reducing greenhouse gas emissions people will see storms of a threat that maybe happened once a century happening every year so we're talking about drastic changes in terms of extreme weather couple that with things like loss of fish and loss of livelihoods melt horse meaning that rivers dry off the mountainous regions i think it really is bordering on humanitarian levels of catastrophe so what can be done can anything be done a lot can be done and the scientists do off a message of hope that if we combine 2 things if we combine mitigation so reducing the amount of greenhouse gases that we're missing into the atmosphere with sensible adaptation then we won't be able to reverse all the effects but will definitely be

able to save save lives essentially and this is tricky with oceans and it would say other aspects of climate change i mean how do you manage that there are so huge and more than that they react very slowly to changes in the climate that means that historical emissions are going to continue warming operations even if tomorrow we decide to completely stop of it in syria too so what scientists are saying is a century of that we need to both mitigate and adapt and we need to do them both and them but it will cost a lot you will cost a lot so money money will have to be thrown at this very very important problem that you. use the environment department so great to have your insights thank you. the un general assembly is in full swing in new york and yesterday brazilian president gerry or both the narrow way used his time there to angrily defend his environmental record while you accused critics of laing about the fires in the

amazon rain forest though he did acknowledge that some were set intensely well this year has seen some of the worst fires ever in the amazon for the amazon rain forest is burning at its highest rates in almost a decade images like this worry environmentalists they see the rain forest as the world's lungs and antidote to climate change and they accuse brazil's president of allowing deforestation to go on checks but at the un jaya both scenario met fire with even more fire telling his audience the amazons a matter for brazil alone love to do it is a fallacy to say that the amazon is the heritage of humankind. using and resorting to fallacies certain countries instead of helping light in the media and behaved in a disrespectful manner and with a colonialist spirit coolio. the man nicknamed

captain chainsaw has promised to open up the amazon for farming and mining but the clearing of trees has encroached on land belonging to indigenous communities representatives of those communities were in new york to hear both unary speak. his speech at the u.n. was to please economic sectors mining timber harvesting and i grew business these 3 the economic sectors of the ones causing and promoting genocide of the brazilian indigenous peoples. both in our own maintains his policies will improve. lives of everyone in the amazon he calls it progress but at what cost. well turning now to some people working to make the world we live in a better place the winners of this year's right livelihood awards have been
