speaker nancy pelosi and she had some very strong statements to make she was referring to she said there was a sense of urgency in one respect there they should try and wrap up their investigation by thanksgiving which of course is the end of november and she focused once again we heard it in the report there the cover up of the cover up she also had words to say about the president saying it goes beyond irresponsible but of course on the other side the republicans have been scrambling to 'd say that you know at this point inquiry is baseless and we've also been hearing from many you know members within the republican party and of course president trump who have essentially been trying to where this is gratis the people at the center of these allegations now in a nutshell a public what is the case that democrats are trying to make. ok we'll try to break it down for you later because this is it's a big story with many elements to it essentially what the democrats are looking at

is that president roh beleaguer lee was seeking foreign help from in that conversation from the ukrainian president selenski he was also accused of using military aid as a bargaining tool with regards to the aid which the democrats are claiming he withheld in order for him as. a favor from their president selenski and also with regards to how long it took for the complaint made by the whistleblower there focusing also on that why did it take so long and they're investigating that at length and you know they've been saying that you know focusing as well on the fact that you know it was a serious of flagrant abuse and violation of the law by president trump that's what the democrats are saying at the moment so what comes next what can we expect well like i said i mean the democrats are pushing forward they want this to take place swiftly this investigation nancy pelosi has also been saying that she would

she's been she has been giving away too much media here is reporting that behind closed doors 'd she says she wants this investigation to ruffle pretty quickly in the next couple of months up most so that it doesn't lose momentum and also they've been saying within the democrats you know the best way to deal with this is the. powerful is speaking to me there a little earlier today i want to tell you now about some of the other stories making news around the world. the british oil tanker seized by iran in the strait of hormuz 2 months ago has left the iranian port where it was being detained the stina imperiled was taken by iran's revolutionary guard 2 weeks after an iranian tanker was seized by britain and that ship was released in august. france is spain its respects to former president shock shock who died on thursday at the age of 86 people have been coming to the presidential palace to honor the

house and could you know northern nigeria. thank you very much. fridays have become linked to climate change demonstrations and more protests are being held around the world today while tens of thousands of students crowded into public spaces in new zealand they've been joined by parents and grandparents in what's being billed as the country's 1st intergenerational strike just were also under way in south korea where hundreds of students boycotted their classes and rallied in the capital seoul to demand that world leaders take immediate action on climate change. and russia ranks as the world's 4th biggest polluter but last week's huge climate change protests worldwide were not match there only a few 100 demonstrators took to the streets in a handful of cities in the capital moscow one protester that's been going along and our reporter emily showing went to meet him. he may be part of

a global movement but in russia he's often on his own shock mikey has been making his solo stands for climate awareness every friday since march his sign reads strike for climate the 25 year old wants more people to join russia as friday for future movement but he's up against the authorities they regularly refuse his attempts to register mass rallies in moscow but his one man protests don't need a permit he says the police are never far away. he just you know when you're right i'm not scared anymore. there are other fears i feel a huge responsibility for what's happening here and i'm more angry than scared now i'm angry that we can't take to the streets like the people in europe because it's really important for us to all go out together and i know that i can't change everything alone i am angry at the politicians here infringing our right to protest but our. ashok says there's not much reporting about environmental issues in russia

he tells people about climate change whenever he can but not everyone is concerned . you know they're going to blow the warming is debatable they say it's getting more then sometimes it gets colder they say that's the same thing it's hard for me to understand when you will know it will be then used to be worried about an environmental issues but the new generation is more conscious and they want their children to grow up in a cleaner place. for the environment so that the planet doesn't drive and garbage people every day issues like trash management have made more people concerned about the environment in russia even outside the capital there have been large protests across the country against garbage dumps including near the northern city of a fungus. you know we're going to russian president vladimir putin has recently changed his rhetoric on climate change and finally signed the paris agreement to limit global warming. you know that's when it comes to the environment of the

climate things keep getting worse if we don't do anything then fast paced technological development will only intensify the whole range of environmental challenges we're facing including climate change in the depletion of natural resources. had a shock once more than just words from the russian government for global climate action week he has helped organize demonstrations around russia a handful of young people are taking turns striking in moscow shock things even small protests are worth it yeah. i know that i'm fighting for my future as well for example what's the point of having children but it's not clear what the state of the planet will be and the nature around us is being destroyed if we don't fight now we won't have a future we don't have a choice. is convinced that the tide is turning in russia but until others join him he plans to keep up his lone protests for the planet. while another russian dissonance but one who is not allowed to continue as protests is miho had

a cough ski a former head of the oil giant you cost. 20 years ago he was russia's wealthiest man and then he publicly accused president vladimir putin of corruption and spent 10 years in prison in a case as politically motivated a deal negotiated by the german government to get him outs and in 2013 he fled to the west while at a conference in berlin that didn't use gotta cough ski's take on the current state of repression and deceit and dissent in russia. in the last 2 months we've seen big protests on the streets of moscow how dangerous were they for the government that the new one man this is not the moment makes regime change possible but what we're seeing is proof of a growth of civil society. and it's self-confidence. we know that moscow as a city is more or less 5 years ahead of the rest of russia in terms of political

development and that's what we're seeing more from as opposed to just this just put the protests spread across the whole of russia that you need to to get a yes in the next 5 years the self-confidence of civil society to spread across the country and the people will start to ask questions about not only how much they're running but also about how the state is treating them if you could be dangerous for the regime there's a more. yeah. sure from 2014 until 2018 russian authorities have been living on credit. should credit. from the crimean onyx ation but now it's over. it's clear to me that the government is staying in power for those but any critical events which is normal for any state could be dangerous for the government.

you know bush that i mean it wouldn't change in reports that lead up our system or quotes a new report a fact to western sanctions haven't russia. i mean this sick or 17 year believe you know they influence the economic situation of the country no doubt no doubt in the news they influence the economic situation of russian society but they're relatively soft compared to the economic situation during soviet times . processing the technological development of the country. and the fact that government cannot solve the problem provokes tension in russian society. so she's been in the picture but they don't want you to come back to russia. of took my mint but yes my at the same time that i'll be able to talk about my criminal case as we will which started off to my extradition from russia was like

that with a normal and independent court. but if you live in music you sometimes. they're going to turn our attention now to pakistan because that country's prime minister in manhattan has issued a dire warning about a spiraling conflict in the disputed kashmir region before the un general assembly in new york hahn warned of a bloodbath in india controlled kashmir and the curfew there is lifted he also called on the world community to kashmiris the right to self-determination so the region is divided between india and pakistan tensions have been high since august when india stripped autonomy from the area under its control delhi has imposed a law down with a communications blackout and restrictions on. following media. let's get you more on that speech want to turn now to the. shamsi. quite an explosive speech there by

president our president prime minister i should say in that one at the united nations also given the fact that india's prime minister was in the room what did you make of what he said well conmigo ready for the speech to be honest but broadness to mow the indian prime minister spoke earlier done khan and he did not mention anything about kashmir he talked about the dire is a michoud this nomic islamist terrorism and god says that not a divot disapproval and which the international community also buys so columns of speech although very ball full obviously not to the not at the which is prevalent because actions to speak louder than words if your domestic policies are good if the voters sees that you are taking actions against. groups then you have a bigger cloud you have more influence internationally the speech was powerful but

obviously there are many things domestically that khan needs to have gone he is actually doing quite a few things under international pressure so we have to wait and see how. with the issues domestically in pakistan and yemen how do you think his words went were received by the international community especially given you know the warning over a possible war between the 2 nuclear states over kashmir. i believe he should have avoided talking about a possible nuclear war that is something which the world does not need to listen to obviously he was saying that it is a possibility in february we saw that india and pakistan game pretty close to do a full fledged war obviously run it is a situation a volatile situation in the region and bushmeat is part of the problem there is

a possibility of of war but obviously a statesman leaders need to talk about political struggle how to deal with issues diplomatically politically and any reference to void or would not be appreciated much in my opinion but what other options does islam about have to challenge india's decision to scrap kashmir's autonomy. well not many i believe because we see that off to india as. special a stud as on august 5th. even many countries did not support pakistan's not it of in fact the u.a.e. gave its highest civilian award due indian prime mr modi after the decision was made so we see a very little suppose even within the tsunami block if such a thing exists what i believe needs to do is engage

a little because in the end it is about human rights it's a. struggle those people need do to make their voice heard we are not hearing the voice of the kashmiris because what we hear now is that what india is saying about bugs on this ng the midis political struggle that needs to come out and obviously if pakistan keeps. getting involved in this to an extent that keeps referring to a possible vor probably we will not hear the question you want says that's my fear . thank you thanks very much for having some football news now for you brazilian a footballer neymar and his former club barcelona are facing a multi-million euro court battle over a contract dispute all this after talks behind closed doors on friday failed to produce a hoped for agreement neymar argues that barcelona fail to pay
