i'm burnt off it's good to have you with us we begin tonight in the united states with a controversy that could eventually spell the end of donald trump's presidency a readout of a july phone call between trump and ukrainian president golda meir's olinsky shows the u.s. president urging ukraine's leader to investigate presidential candidate and put political rival joe biden now the call has prompted u.s. house democrats to launch a formal impeachment inquiry against president trump they are calling his actions and i'm quoting here an ambiguous damning and shocking abuse of the office of the presidency. these are the documents the white house released hoping to diffuse the controversy over president trump's telephone call with his ukrainian counterpart billowed amir's alinsky instead they seem to back up claims that trump pressured zelinsky to investigate the business dealings of democratic rival joe biden's son. trump continues to deny the allegations and says democrats are harassing him.

because the rhetoric was there whenever and if you take a look at the democrats they went down to see the president of ukraine and their son for all sorts of things and don't go with the republicans and stay with us and like it's a political war they should've done that it's the single greatest witch hunt in american history probably in history but it american history it's a disgraceful thing the conversation details were made public a day after house democrat leader nancy pelosi announced an impeachment inquiry into the matter a move she's defended. the president of the united states. and kept his constitutional responsibilities has asked a foreign government can help him in his political campaign that cannot stand his will be held accountable to any the top democrat had long resisted calls for impeachment hearing a backlash from voters who still support trump but unlike the rush investigation

this time the president is directly implicated and public attitudes could change well before an election that's more than a year away. are for more now let's take this to our correspondent alexander phenomena she's on the story for us in new york good evening to you alexandra the u.s. president he's been talking a lot today he's been talking in the last half hour or so to the media in a press conference what's he been saying. he spoke to about his meetings with leaders of other countries he talked about his accomplishments at united nations but he also addressed the u.s. allegations saying that he didn't threaten anyone there was no push no pressure no nothing it's all hoax and then he went on accusing joe biden the former vice president saying that during his time as vice president under obama it was

biden who tried to put pressure on the ukrainian government to stop an investigation into a company that his son had been working for so that he president trumped did what he very often doubts when he is accused of wrongdoing kid tries to accuse his opponents of the same thing but earlier today the u.s. president met with ukraine's president they had a woman one meeting and then they talked with reporters what did the ukrainian president mr selenski what did he have to say about this this phone call. i what's i was present at this meeting and you could really sense that it was an unpleasant situation for the ukrainian president and that he seemed to feel a bit embarrassed when he was pressed by reporters on that issue but let's have

a listen to what he had to say to you go. to this video about joe biden and. i think you read everything. so you i think you read facts i mean i'm sorry but i don't want to be in the wall to do a critic all. that. elections elections all of us say no you sure that we had. i think good phone call it was normal we spoke about many scenes and so i think in the you read is that nobody bullshit bush me yes no credit. for. normal no pressure that's what they're saying but the democrats alexandra de say that this transcript shows some very damning evidence against the president what

exactly are they talking about. well they're referring specifically to one paragraph in which the president told a he's ukrainian counterpart and i quote i would like you to do us a favor i would like at the attorney general called you or your people and i would like you to get to that but some of it's and he was talking about an investigation into his political opponents and democratic presidential candidate joe biden and his son and the democrats saying that this is a clear evidence that donald trump was trying to use state power for political ends or correspond to alexander phenomena the story for us in new york city alexandra thank you. we're now into a dramatic day of developments in the britain's brags that saga began with the u.k. parliament reconvening for the 1st time since the supreme court ruled yesterday

that prime minister boris johnson acted unlawfully when he suspended parliament earlier this month tonight johnson showed no signs of remorse in his 1st address to lawmakers since the suspension ended he challenged his opponents to call it a confidence vote in his government and he defended his attempts to take the u.k. out of the european union deal or no deal. this person was happy to reenter the house of commons but there was also anger at that parliament has been suspended in the 1st place. i think this prime minister to talk about you are not the right shape he's like a strike. force johnson had to do all he could to be heard this and this. was. i think they should this was because. the prime minister went on the offensive and attacked the leader of the opposition he actually going to vote no

confidence in this government is he going to dodge a vote of no co-produce in the primaries. in order to speak with good over votes. no votes followed since that a call for accountability the highest courts in this land has found the prime minister broke fool when he tried to. when he tried to shut down all democratic accountability at a crucial moment in our public life the prime minister should have done the all noble thing and resign. i was about to divide and britain's parliament as this widest ever

if not even wider for now parliament as in session but there's no end in sight to this day late in british politics over bracks that's devastating for the prime. correspondent because she's been following at the resumption of parliament in london today and she says events there marked yet another exceptional day in british politics. this is being another extraordinary day in british politics instead of apologizing to parliament prime minister johnson has accused m.p.'s of wanting to sabotage brags it of wanting to prevent any form of threats to their door and he's used very aggressive language so very hostile polman opposition m.p.'s have been exasperated they've said to the prime minister that he should be ashamed of himself so there is a lot of anger but not much is moving forward in terms of the brics it process that will probably only become clearer and the run up to the next e.u. summit at the end of october in brussels and then we will learn more if there is

a child's of the u.k. leaving without india or if there is more it sounds that there will be no deal or no press it at all. it was bigger most reporting in london here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world israel's president has asked prime minister benjamin netanyahu to form a new government the move comes after deadlocked elections last week netanyahu is with party came in the single seat behind the blue and white party led by been a gun neither leader has been able to put together a coalition with a majority in the 120 seat knesset human rights groups in egypt say that more than a 1000 people have been arrested in a crackdown after last friday's protests against the rule of president to l.c.c. he seized power back in 2013 when the military took over from the democratically elected muslim brotherhood president mohamed morsi. a store use rocket has gone to
