a ukrainian energy firm that phone call has triggered allegations president trump behaved in appropriately and it has also prompted the democratic congressional leader a house speaker nancy pelosi to launch a formal impeachment inquiry against the us president president trump responded with an angry rebuttal of the accusations against him it's the single greatest would chant 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 built up that call it was going to be the call from hell and it turned out to be a nothing girl other than a lot of people said i never knew you could be so nice all right let's get some reaction now from washington d.c.
7:03 pm
didn't we use pablo foley is there for you public 1st of all phyllis in any reaction so far. oh there has been plenty of reaction as you can imagine i'm going to start with the chairman of the house intelligence committee adam schiff he spoke in the last hour he said that it was on contested what president trump has done and has betrayed his oath of office for them to continue the democrats with their inquiry into possible impeachment of president trump he also said that the whistleblower was very eager actually to meet with the house intelligence committee which of course raised a lot of questions over when that could possibly be it could even come as early as this week. we also heard in the last few minutes as well from the speaker of the highs non-si pelosi she said it is not part of president trump's job to use taxpayer money to shakedown other countries for the benefit of his campaign out of
7:04 pm
the president doesn't know the wife of his words or he does not care about ethics or his constitutional responsibilities very clear they're exactly what the democrats are saying what's interesting though is what is coming from the other side of course from the republicans because we have heard from one of president close senator lindsey graham he told reporters that to impeach any president over a phone call would be insane we also heard from the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell in the senate he said speaker pelosi couldn't hold back the far left any longer but there are also have been some grumblings within the republican side we've heard from mitt romney who has been a critic of president trump and he said that it was very troubling. in this document that was released here today so plenty of reaction plenty plenty of reaction and presume
7:05 pm
a lot more to come as well now let's talk about the ukrainian leader who is due to meet with president later today. you're absolutely right now all eyes are going to be focused on the meeting of course which is going to be taking place in new york some time today and of course the focus now will be on exactly you know what comes out of that meeting now as well a lot of the focus as well here from the media and from analysts is actually to the bits perhaps that were left in this document in the conversation that took place in july between presidents and president trump. is where a lot of people are now focused and they're hoping that further information comes out of course like i mentioned before. from the full complaint from this whistleblower and of course that essentially means that this this meeting that's
7:06 pm
taking place today the focus is not really on what's going to happen and what they're going to talk about today it's more on the broader picture will. be a fly on the wall. we're reporting from d.c. thank you. and now to another political firestorm this one raging in london the house of commons has got back to work after the supreme court ruled that prime minister boris johnson's perogue ing of parliament was unlawful on johnson cut short his trip to the u.n. general assembly and return to london where he is set to face lawmakers later in parliament the speaker of the house says there will be full scope for emergency debates the government's new wireless planning to put a general election back on the table and earlier attorney general a jeffrey cox addressed the house of commons he called on parliament to pass legislation allowing for a general election. this fall the move is very scared you. should

7:08 pm
what we're witnessing right now just a few it's it's completely uncharted territory this would it 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 apology but that should go way. and weak over the last 40 or 50 years and the prime minister got stronger and stronger suddenly the balance of power is tipping back again and punishment 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 on geoffrey cox that. calling parliament to dispraise the dead parliament well the many parliamentarians who turn around and say exactly the same but the government but it still begs the question i mean mr johnson's position is it 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
7:09 pm
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 bracks it crash out if necessary and get an election way he can present himself as the passionate pro brecht'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 saying you can't crash out without a deal and they've also said 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 an early election why doesn't he want an early election because he doesn't trust boris johnson not to crash out as
7:10 pm
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. one foot in the remain in europe one foot on the brake and their opinion poll ratings have been going down so he's very cautious but he'd numb the less all out to be making fall more progress the party that's making progress is on the right the brakes it passed it was stealing conservative votes and on the center left you've got the liberal democrats who've been stealing quite a lot of labor and use of their votes in conclusion mr peel where does this leave brags that 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 time night is changed because of what punishment did to say you can crash out i would
7:11 pm
never expect we will get an extension how boris johnson handles it having said i want to ask for an extension do or die. in the ditch rather so i think you'll have to one way or another whether he'll find some fiddle to get somebody else to us for the extension but then 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 feel cialis with the think tank chatham house or good to have you here with the same person that's the. well i tell you now about some of the other stories making news around the world. human rights groups in egypt say that more than a 1000 people have been arrested in the crackdown after last friday's protests against a wall of president advocates in the c.c. he seized power back in 2013 when the military took over from the democratically elected muslim brotherhood president mohamed morsi. the death toll has
