a july phone call between trump and ukrainian president waldemar selenski sjostrom urging the ukrainian leader to investigate democratic presidential candidate joe biden the call has prompted u.s. house democrats to launch a formal impeachment inquiry against president trump they're quoting his actions of an unambiguous 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. continues to deny the allegations and says democrats are harassing him. it was directly whatsoever and if you take a look at the democrats they went down to see the president of ukraine and their sin for all sorts of things and don't go with the republicans and stay with us and

like it's a political war they shouldn't have done that it's the single greatest witch hunt in american history probably in history but in american history it's a disgraceful thing the conversation details were made public today after house democrat leader nancy pelosi announced an impeachment inquiry into the matter a move she's defended. the president of the united states. check his constitutional responsibility has asked a foreign government to help him in his political campaign that cannot stand who will be held accountable for that in 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. that's an instruction selenski met on the sidelines of the u.n.

general assembly in new york and held a press conference here's what the ukrainian leader had to say. to get to know about joe biden and. i think if you read everything. so you i think you read. i. i'm sorry but i don't want to be. to do a critic all. the elections elections over u.s.c. no you had. i think good phone call was normal we spoke about many. and. i think you read it is that nobody bush pushed me yes or no 3. for more now let's bring in alexandra phenomena in new york alexandra welcome so you were there at the

press conference with the 2 presidents tell us more what did you make of the 2 of them under these circumstances. it was quite interesting to watch them and to watch how they were trying to defuse the situation by being humorous for instance when presidents trump rates ukraine for ukraine for its tremendous potential the ukrainian president responded by saying i know that i am from this country but then the mood changed very quickly when leaders were pressed by reporters on their phone call and president trump once again denied any wrong doing and the ukrainian president said that ukraine is an independent country and that there was no pressure no pushing no whatsoever. and on that note of pushing or not pushing trump has said that releasing the phone call would exonerate him so now

some of it or all of it or we don't quite know but that record is out there now does it seem that this has made things better or worse for the president. worse would say the transcript that was released is damaging for president trump because it is showing that he was trying to pressure president ukrainian president to open an investigation into joe biden his democratic opponents and his son he has said repeatedly in this phone call that the u.s. has been doing a lot for ukraine but that this relationship has not been reciprocal so far and then he went on by saying now we would like you to do us a favor and to work with the attorney general to get to the bottom of the allegations against joe biden and his son and for the democrats it is clear that

the president was trying to to use state power for political ends then that he was willing to work together with a foreign power to get their art of his off on his opponent and to secure his election so there are facts and there's interpretation and it seems so far that democrats and most republicans who support donald trump agree on the facts the basic facts of what's what's happened here and yet still such different conclusions such different interpretations how can there be such different interpretations when both sides seem to agree on the very basic facts here. well we don't see at the moment. democratic that republicans are not behind the president anymore darr still supporting him however it will be interesting how to how the democratic i'm sorry the republican party is going to

respond to a whistle blower complaint that had touched off for this impeachment hearing and the 1st place this complaint was delivered today to congressional intelligence committees and the democrats are saying that this complaint is going to be beyond the transcript and that it is very disturbing and very very alarming all right alexander phenomena in new york thank you very much. now to a dramatic day of developments in the u.k.'s breck's it saga it began with the u.k. parliament reconvening for the 1st time since the supreme court there ruled prime minister boris johnson acted unlawfully when suspending the body early this month now tonight johnson showed no signs of remorse in his 1st address to lawmakers since the suspension he challenged his opponents to call a confidence vote in his government and defended his attempts to take the u.k.

out of the e.u. deal or no deal. this person was happy to reenter the house of commons but there was also anger at that parliament had been suspended in the 1st place i don't think this prime minister to talk about who are the right actually he's got this right. course johnson had to do all he could to be heard this and this. i think they should this was misspeaking. to prime minister went on the offensive and attack the leader of the opposition. he actually did vote no confidence in this government is he going to doj a vote of no co-produce in the primaries. in order to speak with good over votes. no votes followed instead a call for accountability the highest court 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 only able thing and resigned. i. thought what a divide in britain's parliament asus widest ever if not even wider for now parliament as in session but there's no end in sight to this day mate in british politics over bracks it's devastating for the prime minister to have such a judge now to some of the other stories making news around the world israeli president arriving routine has asked benyamin netanyahu to form
