the journal puts that number at eight times. >> so t"the wall street journal says that eight times, eight times the president of the united states got on the phone and, as "the wall street journal" said, specifically pressured the leader of ukraine to deal with his personal lawyer to dig up dirt on joe biden and his family. >> the president deflected questions of whether he inappropriately enlisted a foreign government to help dig up dirt on a political rival. and, instead, tried to shift the scrutiny to biden. >> conversation i had was largely congratulatory, was largely corruption, all of the corruption taking place. was largely the fact that we don't want our people like vice president biden and his son creating to the corruption already in the ukraine. >> i'm not looking to hurt him with respect to his son. joe's got a lot of problems. joe's got enough problems without that. but what he said was a terrible thing. and, you know, lillereally made a -- it was an offer. it was beyond on offer if the was something where he said i'm not going to give billions of dollars to ukraine unless th

brand-new reporting in the "wall street journal" on the mystery explaining that president trump directly asked the ukrainian president eight times to investigate joe biden and his son. a close-up look at the destruction that impacted oil prices worldwide as cnn seen on the ground in saudi arabia as president trump said he's, quote, showing great retrant by not attacking iran. and plus the global strike over the planet. what could be the biggest day of climate demonstrations in world history. we'll talk to the trump administration officials who resigned in protest over the crisis. >> we start with breaking news in the politics lead. the president urging ukraine to investigate joe biden's son hunter multiple times, according to the "wall street journal" in a breaking news story just minutes ago. sources telling the journal that president trump made the request about eight times on a july phone call. and told the president of ukraine to work with rudy giuliani. the president's personal attorney. who just last night admitted to asking the ukrainians to investigate biden. cnn's kaitlan collin

print online and all over the world so much of the climate journalism that we do is about our country it's very insular and this is a global issue and especially a lot of the polluters cross borders today i was reading a story about 30 systems in philadelphia and we had the exact same problems in johannesburg here where we're so. this seemed like an opportunity to join up museums and tell our audience for a week that here is an issue that the whole world is dealing with. the consortium strategy was to have all of its members churning out a week's worth of environmental reporting leading up to september 23rd and the start of a major climate conference in new york city for participants like india's hindustan times and south africa's mail and guardian the core subject is the same the story is markedly different so instead after one of the big problems we have is we have such a big carbon footprint as a nation right but if you look at india i balk at their emissions are extremely low they're lower lower than the world average power utility eskom. which is a petro chemicals company and a f

how do you think that that is affecting journalism as a whole because all journalism-- >> let's get someone from instagram to answer that question. >> that's i mean, we suffered greatly from them. but we have a great team, the team i was on, the social media team. they have tons of like-- when to share things and like key words, tags, so i should be better at like knowing the why behind that because i'm really lucky to be in a company where we have a whole team like kind of focused on that. and it's funny because like a lot of times you don't know why things go viral. we spend so much time trying to figure it out and like one story-- we'll have a story about like amazon review on something from 2014 that keeps going viral. every year it's going viral and who is sharing this? you can plan for it, but sometimes things resonate and you don't know why. >> let's talk about fake news. we're definitely moving in the fake news era, right? what is it like working in an industry that prides itself on reporting the facts, but is constantly under criticized for doing-- >> yeah, i think it makes our job

the fact that all of this is happening when journalism is in oform of change, especially long-form journalism, public station for which you work, i think i think i am concerned because i know how difficult it is still and i think everybody, a lot of the editors understand the importance of diversity but they don't understand it enough to do anything about it and so that's why, you know, organizations like the national association of black journalists and those kinds of organizations are still important to keep that message out there and then individuals who are still inside newspapers doing the work of the journalists but also doing the work of diversity, in many ways it's a double job and the diversity job is all volunteer and the other is job for which you get paid and i think it made a difference before and hopefully will continue to mick a difference but i think we are just in a very unsettling time in the nation right now. >> we will have time for just a couple of questions if you have a question, you canan stand at e microphone right in the center aisle, before we go to audience questio

where people go from ivy league schools to columbia journalism, school of journalism. they never set foot in america. they don't understand real world experiences. they don't understand how the economy works. they do not understand the idea of investment of sacrifice. they don't know how to hire somebody. they don't know the pain of having to lay somebody off. this world is unknown to them. i do believe the in a real way, journalists need to understand what they are talking about before they pass judgment on all of these things. they have worked themselves up into such a messy frenzy especially with this man the when he is tipping the apple cart, he is going against the narrative. i don't have any more clichÉs i gave them up with.

it's about the limits of journalism. you say they're asking journalism to do too much.hat argument? >> i guess we got mad when the piece came down, trying to understand what happened in the al franken dustup and that the real point of the piece, i think, should have been, we needed a due process. we needed an actual hearing in the senate. we needed to have actually findings of facts, witnesses, subpoenas, all of it, and journalism litigating "me too" is just substituting actual systems that should be doing it in the first instance. >> the same thing with jeffrey epstein. they're doing incredible work, but it doesn't replace the need for prosecutors. of course, there are prosecutors newly involved, and some of the victims were able to speak in court this week, but the reporters do not fill in for the need to investigate. >> i think the reporting is doing an amazing gap-filling job, but it is not in and of itself a determinative due process. >> right. important perspective. two years now since the harvey weinstein investigations. dahlia, thanks so much. a quick break here

my sense of my time in journalism needed to take.rnalism is the needed to take. my sense of my time in journalism is the goalposts have moved a little bit. there was a time when most media outlets felt if they could report it, if they knew it i knew it to be right, then they should. i think we are now in a place, the public is any place, and our audience, where they expect us to think more deeply and not report everything we might know, regardless of legal, but even editorial judgments, when it comes to privacy and to the public interest. there is no doubt we'd take that very seriously, we think about that a lot in all of the things we do and we will always try to strike the balance between the need to know, what is in the public interest, but where appropriate, respecting people's previously. thank you very much. thank you for all your comments this week. tell us your opinions on what you see here... do have a look at previous interviews on our website. that is all from us, we'll be back to hear your thoughts about bbc news coverage

and the journalism is incredible.the times" and the "post" last night, maybe this story will make ukraine great again. he's been on the ukraine story since the beginning of time. so there are a lot of legs to the ukraine piece. this revelation in the "wall street journal" in the last 45 minutes donald trump eight times insists that a foreign leader investigate. but strip away the things that make this story opaque because i think one of the challenges with the moo uler probe is it was so opaque. his corruption, his greed, his stupidy is oozing out, and it is so prolific that he can't keep it secret even with his hand on all the levers of power. >> yes. not just for dummies but for smart people. i think it's important to keep your eye on that ball because once you start talking about ukraine, i'm telling you, half the country, and i'm not being kind of condescending but a lot of people can't find ukraine on a map. >> can we just be blunt? it's not just ukraine. it's that people are tired. the russia thing went on for t

there's two types of pressures on journalism at the moment.orward telling of untruths. when someone says this story is not true and it is true, that is a lie and that should be exposed, but there's also the pressure that might come from owners, from editors who are seeking to ingratiate themselves with prime ministers and others, so it's incredibly important now for journalists, whether they work for mainstream media, old—fashioned newspapers and their websites, or social media and whatever else, adjusted doggedly to get at the story. sorry, that was a bit of a journalism... no, we are grateful for it. but it's incredibly important for the bbc not to be cowed, and the bbc is all too often cowed, and the bbc is all too often cowed and doesn't report things as strongly as it should, and that's not a partisan view. that's a view about toughness and robustness in journalism. now that i've got that off my chest... parts one and two! as for the politics, we're going to go through the list of the headlines, there's about eight or ten stories today, e
