this is fake news live from the building u.s. president donald trump gets out of the impeachment hearings calling them a disgrace and an embarrassment to senior officials who listens to a phone call between trump and he's ukrainian counterpart expressed concerns calling the conversation improper and on the usual form a special envoy to ukraine could focus is testifying approach also on the program. the grinding poverty of daily life in camps in shanty towns of stock illustration

of think inequality driving mass protests against the government of president sebastian pinera. and the way he's coming back as coach of spain's national soccer team list because earlier this year when his daughter can tell me. i'm anthony howard welcome to the program we begin in washington where u.s. president donald trump has criticized the impeachment hearings calling them a disc rice and an embarrassment he's comments came as 2 senior officials who listened to trump's july phone call with these ukrainian catholic counterpart a lot to me selenski expressed their concerns about the conversation the former special envoy to ukraine could volcker told the probe he should have realized that trump was holding up military aid to kiev to pressure the country to invest.

political rival joe biden. first to testify on tuesday to officials who listened in on that controversial phone call newton and connell alexander van man the top white house expert on ukraine alongside jennifer williams an advisor to vice president mike pence both told the panel they had concerns about the cole. i found the july 25th phone call and usual because in contrast to other presidential calls i had observed it involved discussion of what it appeared to be a domestic political matter it was inappropriate. it was improper for the president to requestion to demand an investigation. into a political opponent opponent especially at foreign power where there is at best dubious belief that this would be a completely impartial investigation the democrats hope to amass evidence that president trump abused his position using military aid to push ukraine to

investigate his political opponents the republicans again attack the witnesses rather than their evidence of course. your boss had concerns about your judgment your republican lawmakers question lieutenant colonel vin means credibility and even his loyalty to the country being an immigrant from ukraine a written statement. the proceedings resume to a testimonies from former u.s. envoy to nato kurt volker and tim morrison the former national security council advisor. and a cabinet meeting president trump continued his condemnation of the entire inquiry we had 3 what is going on is a disgrace and it's an embarrassment to our nation given enough evidence of wrongdoing on the president's part the house dominated by democrats will vote to send the case to trial in senate this long drawn out political battle is only shifting gears. well for more we can bring in public in washington public the

committee is still very much focusing on the coal from trump to ukrainian president why the emphasis on this cool. well i'm to be very much part of the republicans case has been that none of the witnesses actually listened in to the 25th of july phone call but of course 2 of the witnesses today actually were listening in to a famous infamous phone call now and of course they've been focusing as well on the fact that you know who this whistleblower is and there was sort of a hope amongst republicans that if they knew who that person is then they could perhaps discredit them but of course now they find themselves in the situation in which you have you know a new tenant colonel alexander vin and jennifer williams who's an aide to the vice president might pence who were both listening into the cole both expressing concern by what they heard and both using a pretty strong word which is that they found it inappropriate and usual on usual

and you know. the expressing their interpretation of the call in many ways what they've done is sort of almost diluted in some ways. the republicans have been focusing on which is of course whistleblower also we heard there in the report how they sort of went on the attack towards those republicans but you know republicans are going to find that very hard to sort of discredit these 2 witnesses you know we are to what appeared to be very credible witnesses with you know pretty impressive careers so we could say that today wasn't essentially a good day for the republicans. to those witnesses that have been working for the trump in the stretch and tell us a little bit more about who they. well apart from jennifer williams who have just mentioned you know who is an aide to the vice president mike pence and also this 10

colonel alexander vin the who's actually still working at the white house we've heard from curt folk are now he's a former special envoy to ukraine longstanding career working for government someone who's highly regarded he had some very harsh words for president trump he was sort of almost implying that president trump was interested in conspiracy theories particularly in reference to joe biden and his dealings or the supposed dealings of his son and also we've heard from the national security council official tim marston so you know we're talking about 4 heavyweights who will say 4 people with pretty impressive careers and like i said even though the republicans went after them you know we're talking about pretty credible witnesses just briefly you mentioned they've been on the attack but the republicans actually disputing this evidence. what it appears that they've sort of more of a more sort of

a supposed for the personal attack you know if we look at the official twitter account of the white house today they were at you know that it was a sham impeachment and a pirate be impeachment they were bringing up sort of the credibility of the witnesses particularly you know the lieutenant colonel. who was born in ukraine and also even you know jennifer williams this aide for the vice president as well so you know it was pretty shocking in some ways to see how they sort of went after them in such a sort of times what's being described by analysts here is almost callous way but you know let's keep our eye on what the next witness is that is of course one of the key figures. the u.s. ambassador to the european union he'll be appearing on wednesday. in washington thank you. now to some of the other stories making news around the world.

immigrants but that's a much smaller fraction. thousands of people driven to the fringes of society forgotten by the system and treated as outcasts by their fellow citizens. to be sent to the camps represent the very essence of what the protest movement claims is wrong with the country. is a symptom of what's happening and it's not necessarily the problem itself it's a reflection of a size that discriminates that doesn't take into account the poorest of the poor and a society that doesn't care about others. is n.-g. o. tries to involve the camp's inhabitants in what's happening in the country in a meeting in front of the shack they share their thoughts and ideas about the recent up people. protesters demand dignified living conditions for all chileans a reality that has long seemed out of reach for one of the founding members of this
