very few 3 years ago think the referendum must be respected. hong. kong. breaks down and people want to. look pretty good and this school made out of bottles how students in kenya are learning that one person's trash is another's treasure. and one clue cruft thanks for joining us u.s. president donald trump has called the impeachment inquiry launched by congressional democrats a joke but the latest details are no laughing matter a read out of a july phone call between trump and ukrainian president voight amir's alinsky shows trump wanting the ukraine. leader to investigate democratic presidential candidate

joe biden u.s. house democrats are calling his action a quote unambiguous damning and shocking abuse of the office of the presidency. not for the 1st time on a difficult day in new york donald trump was forced to defend his conversation with ukraine's fellow timea selenski using a familiar line which continues but they're getting hit hard in this which aren't because when they look at the information it's a joke. impeachment that i didn't do it to take a look at that call it was perfect i didn't do it there was no quid pro quo the allegation trump pressured selenski to look into dealings by his political rival joe biden and his son hunter trumpet hoped by releasing this memo of the call the problem would go away but phrases like do us a favor appear to back up the allegation that there's no mention of military aid being dependent on an investigation from discusses corruption crimes involving

biden's son he says joe biden quote stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that the man who's unwittingly walked into a political storm had this to say for himself you sure that we had. i think a good phone call it was normal we spoke about many seeing such and so that so i think when you're ready that nobody bullshit bullshit me yes no great. no pressure on sudan ski maybe but the impeachment inquiry launched by democrats has put trump under the microscope. that fact is that the president of the united states. in preach at his constitutional responsibilities has asked if fine government to help in in his political campaign that cannot stand he

will be held accountable no one is above the law. the democrats may now be throwing caution to the winds for trump it looks like business as usual as he tries to ride out the latest scandal. 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 president 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 both 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 that or all of it or we don't quite know but that record is out there now does it seem that this has this has made things better or worse for the press. worse would say the transcript that was released is demagoging 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 and that was he was willing to were. together with the foreign power to get their art. open and to secure. so there are facts and there's interpretation 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. 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 at 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 yond the transcript and that that 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 united kingdom's breck's it saga it began with the u.k. parliament reconvening for the 1st time since the supreme court ruled prime

minister boris johnson acted unlawfully when he suspended the parliament earlier this month johnson showed no signs of remorse in his 1st address to lawmakers since the suspension he challenges opponents to call it 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 parliament have been suspended in the 1st place . i think the prime minister to talk about no matter how far i don't like this right. course johnson had to do all he could to be heard this and this is going to be honest. i think they should listen to his music speaking. to prime minister went on the offensive and attack the leader of the opposition. he

actually going to vote no confidence in this. it's easy going to doj a vote of no co-produce in the crimea. in order to speak with good oversight. no votes followed instead a call for accountability the highest court in this land has found the prime minister broke school when he try to. way he try to shut down all the democratic accountability at a crucial moment in public life the prime minister should have done the honorable thing and resign. was. about to divide and britain's parliament is this widest ever if not even wider for
