the former u.s. ambassador to ukraine was abruptly removed from her post and he is true she says she is the victim of a smear campaign from trump's personal lawyer rudolph giuliani the record show event of it said she felt threatened after finding out that president trump had denounced her in a phone call with the ukrainian president here's some of what she had to say what did you think when president trump told president selenski and you read it that you were going to go through something. i didn't know what to think but i was very concerned were you concerned about. she's going to go through some things it didn't sound good sounded like a threat. did you. feel threatened i did. with the testimony i'm going trump posted a tweet criticizing event of bitches diplomatic career that tweet was then shown in

the congressional hearing where it said everywhere marie of out of it went turned back she started off in somalia how did that go then ukraine the new president spoke unfavorably about her in my 2nd phone call with him it's a u.s. president absolute right to appoint ambassadors now both trump's defenders and detractors praise of out of it for her work here's the exchange between the intelligence committee chairman and event of it about the tweet and now the president real time is attacking. what effect do you think that has on other witnesses willingness to come forward. and expose wrongdoing. it's very intimidating to dine designed to intimidate is it not. i mean i can't speak to what the president is trying to do but i think the effect is to be intimidating. let's get more now from oliver salih our correspondent in

washington oliver thanks so much for joining us 1st let's let's broaden this a what did we learn today from the former ambassadors testimony. oh 1st of all william we met and learned about the former ukrainian ambassador of the united states maria von of it and she was introduced as a very highly reliable and. experienced a career diplomat with some 33 years of experience in foreign service and wherever she was deployed she was dedicated to fide corruption that was was how she was introduced in the 1st place and she made the impression of being highly disappointed that she was called back from her posting in ukraine earlier this year for no real reason given and she also described how a president travels she put it put his personal interests over u.s. foreign policy and she accused him of damaging the state department as well as the

white house and also discussed how president trump's private lawyer launched a smear campaign against her allegedly he and president trump wanted to get rid of her as she could have been an obstacle in potential investigations of the ukrainian authorities against president trump's political rival joe biden and then of course there was this very bizarre moment when while she was testifying president trump fired a series of very critical tweets against her as you've just mentioned and read out yeah let's let's talk about that tweet what implications could that have as we go ahead in this inquiry. yeah that's right 1st of all chairman adam schiff was chairing the intelligence committee read those tweets out and asked her to comment and then mary yvonne image said that she felt very

intimidated in the end of that process later just a little while after the speaker of the house nancy pelosi gave a press conference and made very clear that 6 witness intimidation is a crime and we are now in a situation where the democratic party is seriously discussing whether this could be an additional article off impeachment and that would be witness tampering and if that's not all enough to take in the middle of this hearing just not far away from where the hearing was taking place a court a jury just found a long time ally trouble roger stone guilty of obstructing obstructing a correctional investigation into russian interference in the 2016 election and that's a slightly separate issue from what's going on in the impeachment inquiry but fit that together for us how do those 2 things come together. well it's certainly strengthening the democratic position don't forget roger stone was

president one of president trump top. president trump's top advisors here and of course that plays a major role that he's found guilty on all counts and one of them of course lying to exactly the same committee where today the impeachment hearing took place so i think it's fair to say that it was not a great day for president trump the democrats will try to capitalize on that the crucial question is what kind of impact this will have on the american public new poll here today issued by reuters ipsos saying that 2 thirds of the americans are watching the hearings 40 for prince 44 percent are supportive and 40 percent are opposing an impeachment of president trump so you can see america remains divided and it will certainly be interesting to follow and see whether that big shift in momentum the democrats are hoping for will come it was just the 2nd day of the

impeachment hearings today with many more to come all right oliver stone in washington keep watching that for us thanks very much bolivia's ousted president abel morales has said he would like to return to the country as soon as possible resigned under pressure on sunday he went into exile in mexico after weeks of protests prompted by fraud allegations following his election bolivia's interim leader said on friday that the former president will face possible legal charges for election fraud if he returns home a caretaker government is now preparing to stage fresh elections in the country. earlier i spoke to our correspondent you know how to read in bolivia is political capital a pos and asked him about the possible aim of morality his new move. i think i don't see the logic can do this idea i mean some days ago ever more on this left the country because he said that it was too dangerous for him to his life was

at the risk and now he's talking about coming back i mean nothing has changed in this country since he left bolivia i think that even right now the situation is even more dangerous for him if he wanted to come back so i think that this is now something in rio that could really happen the short term i think everyone is just want to keep his name in the public opinion he wants just people to keep talking about him in the next in the days to come but i don't think that this is something that could really happen not at least in short then this has been hit by flooding from another exceptionally high tide st mark's square has again been under water and close to the public the levels at midday on friday did not reach those of the peak flooding seen earlier in the week but the water still poses an ongoing threat to the cultural heritage of the city. land and sea become one again another exceptionally high tide is wreaking havoc on venice. workers
