of those people have raised as a result of that telephone call both of talked about it being unusual and inappropriate colonel vinh men said that he reported the call they in to the white house now there's also been concerned raised by colonel vin about what he saw as potential influence on american ukraine policy he said he was concerned that they could have been a break in bipartisanship with that policy which may have encouraged russian aggression against ukraine. they were just about to go to to our correspondents in washington d.c. i think kimberly help that will be joining us and heidi jo castro as well how to join might be a viable force right now yes she's joining us live from capitol hill i just want to get your thoughts on what we've been hearing 2 words jump out at me from both we've heard improper and also unusual take us through what we've heard. that's right these 2 witnesses both national security experts on ukraine corroborated each other and assessing when where they heard this phone call in full between trump and zelinsky they both thought it was improper and alexan

they're both known for their attacking football but in reality their approach is focussed just as much on defense let's start with why you don't like his man city side have torn up defenses all over england in the last couple of years but while they've broken records for the number of goals they scored they've also been phenomenal in defense but if you talk about city it's always about how good they are football players but they are brilliant organist they had the best defense in the league when i won his 1st title in england and last season they conceded just 23 goals full year the near perfect record in both attack and defense is partly down to what he owes its brilliance city and keep the ball better than pretty much every other team combined with the talent of their expensive lee assembled squad that means they create more opportunities than the rest but it also means they seriously limit the number of chances their opponents have to score against the old advantage that you can't score if you don't have the ball is particularly true with city and this isn't a new phenomenon with th

so both sides, very important, both sides are part of the american psyche and american history, bothare legitimate but it is a question of how they manifest themselves and how they impose their will on the country as a whole. >> are those bases large and what does it mean for moderates? >> when you say bases, in terms of individuals and collectivism that is pervasive throughout the country and you see that in so many sectors was using the word basically like a political base and that gets into chapter 10 when i talk about will trump voters be going about things as they did in 2016, hopefulness about life ahead, i contend that won't happen because now there is a deep extensive body of evidence of what the trump presidency means and the so-called trump base i consider to be, a subset of trump's numbers. trump's approval numbers at a certain level, the trump base is much lower than that i describing chapter 10 and that means the base will remain the base, those who are not in trump's base but still voted for trump before and support him now, that is where everything will pivot in 2020.

both sides have to do it. house, senate, republican, democrat and i would yield. >> madam speaker, the gentleman talks about bipartisan agreement. he does not talk about the fact the house did its job. we passed bills, we passed 96% of the funding of government. the senate led by republicans, prior to the end of the fiscal year, past 0%. it is hard to come to an agreement when the senate doesn't pass anything! nothing! 0! mainly because they need the president to say simon says. i know that for a fact based on conversations with the leadership of the senate. the president signing off, and we know that the acting chief of staff when he was here in this body voted to shut the government down and voted against opening up, and said we ought to have a sequester for this fiscal year. that was his position. it was mister bott's position as well who is the acting omb. i mirror the acting chief of staff. the republican whip, to say geewhiz we are wringing our hands, we passed partisan bills, of course we pass partisan

i work with and for both of them. i want to make sure i disclose my conflict of interest to start with. so general shana han went to michigan. >> go blue. >> rotc. entered the service of our country in 1984. he's been promoted a ga zillon times. he's been promoted on a whole bunch of activities and eventually we needed somebody operationally to implement ai and he was the perfect choids. i worked with him in my role as chairman of that. kent walker was a federal prosecutor. law and order federal prosecutor who then chose to come to silicon valley and i think worked at ebay for awhile. we being google snagged him maybe 15 years ago. >> coming on. >> every day together. and during that time, not only did he set up our legal function but he's now in charge of all of global policy, pr, all those sorts of things together. so very, very significant players. and what i thought we should do since you all have heard from me plenty is simply start and perhaps, kent, we should have you make some comments about the world as you s

understandable and them or both and so those little sound bites that they get have to be both understandable and them or bill and so whichever way you can achieve that either through simple language or visits lang will and so whichever way you can achieve that either through simple language or visits language or language that really connects with people's lives in whatever way i think that's going to jail or language that really connects with people's lives in whatever way i think that's going to be affected and finally a lot of people are blaming twitter the effect. finally a lot of people are blaming twitter on both the success of trump and the emergence of these hashtag culture when you are on both the success of trump and the emergence of these hashtag culture when you are under obligation to compress very complex ideas into a couple of if you character under of legation to compress very complex ideas into a couple of if you characterize them that. not only has to do with your to be more eloquent series and that. not only has to do with your to be more eloquent but i think it also develo

thank you both for your true heroic efforts both today and also throughout your careers. i would like to start with you, mr. kent. in your testimony, you said that you had in mid august it became clear to me that giuliani's efforts to gin up politically motivated investigations were now infecting u.s.s. engagement with ukraine. leveraging president zelensky's desire for a white house meeting. did you actually write a memo documenting your concerns that there was pressure underway to pressure ukraine to open investigation to benefit president trump? >> >> yes, ma'am, i wrote a memo to the file on august 16th. >> we don't have access to that file do we. >> i presented it to the state department pursuant to the september 27th subpoena. >> we have not received one piece of paper from the state department relative to this investigation. both of you have made compelling cases of the importance of ukraine to europe, to the 70 years of peace, the benefit that it has to the united states national security. and our goal to continue to support sovereignty of nations. meanwhile, russ

appreciate seeing you both.hank you for coming in. >>> coming up, the numbers on the move again in the democratic 2020 race. two veteran political reporters following it all. they will join us when we come back. if your adventure... keeps turning into unexpected bathroom trips. you may have overactive bladder, or oab. not again! we're seeing a doctor when we get home. myrbetriq treats oab symptoms of urgency, frequency, and leakage. it's the first and only oab treatment in its class. myrbetriq may increase blood pressure. tell your doctor right away if you have trouble emptying your bladder or have a weak urine stream. myrbetriq may cause serious allergic reactions, like swelling of the face, lips, throat or tongue, or trouble breathing. if experienced, stop taking and tell your doctor right away. myrbetriq may interact with other medicines. tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems. common side effects include increased blood pressure, common cold or flu symptoms, sinus irritation, dry mouth, urinar

i think we're both with him. and then he goes into, therefore, we should not have a new privacy regime. and i'm like, that's where you lost me. i'm much closer to where christina is, we have to think about it carefully. i said earlier, follow the money, but a lot of this, to me -- i think advertising is the heart of both of these questions. data collection is fundamentally about facilitating advertising. and advertising -- digital advertising markets are raising a lot of competition questions, too. i think looking at that with eyes on both sides is a valuable thing. >> i would love to explore that more. maybe the audience will have more questions on that. please, stand and wait for the microphone so that everybody here and on cnn can hear the question. so, woman on the aisle first. and then the gentleman behind her. >> did you want me to stand as well? >> yes, please. >> thanks. thank you, commissioners, for being here. hopefully you can speak to given the court's recent ruling on restoring internet freedom order

it was both a failure and a success. it was a failure because it didn't achieve the outcome that they wanted, which was independence for ireland. and what was idealistically referred to as a bringing together of catholics, protestants, and dissenters. that failed miserably. but the republican ideal, although the revolution was crushed, principleal principall the difference between america and ireland. that difference was distance. it wasn't that there wasn't enough irish people that could have rebelled. the population around that time was higher -- or at least comparable to the population of the colonies on the east coast of america. but ireland was very close to britain. therefore, the rebellion was put down with considerable in 1798 crushed with great severity by lord cornwallis. he didn't have great endings in america but he became the great restorer of order in ireland in the wake of the 1798 rebellion. after that you had the active union which was brought about by the fear that the british government had at the time

they have both escaped.s it the ft which said they survive? i think that is a good word to use. what did you make of it, and of the coverage in the newspapers? unlike your paper, where we couldn't actually see who they were, we have them on the front of the times. actually see who they were, we have them on the front of the timeslj think both leaders played to their strengths. boris desperately wants the entire election to be about exit, and to argue he has the strongest brexit deal, whereas jeremy wants to argue the nhs is at sta ke jeremy wants to argue the nhs is at stake and the things that people hold very dear are at stake. so it makes complete sense that both of them come out almost head to head. but also, i think that we are still very early in the general election campaign. and so, you know, for the leaders to be neck and neck at this point, when previously theresa may was, you know, in 2017, farahead, is very worrying for boris johnson. i think is very worrying for boris johnson. ithinka is very wo

both are quite wealthy both are media personalities with ties to me york and both entered politics after getting rich elsewhere and both of them have a knack for blurring the political divide. donald trump has switched his political affiliation 7 times since 1087 michael bloomberg was 1st a democrat then he ran and became mayor of new york city as a republican and now he's back to being a democrat once again he says both trump and bloomberg speak of using their own resources to fund their campaign and also of an apparent love of power i know what it takes to beat trump because i already have and i will do it again we decided to ask new yorkers what they think about the new presidential contender who is also their former mayor do you think that bloomberg news will be fair during the election i hope they're saying they're not going to cover bloomberg or any of the democratic candidates to be fair but they will cover trump what do you make of that it also seems one sided have a little bit of reservations i think they should cover both and and i think they you know they should be independent

of iraq are both part of the system that needs to be changed and they are both presiding and they are will spawn setting and godfather a system that needs to be changed everyone is saying that people are rights to go out and demonstrate against corruption against terror and violence against a sectarian system and yet everyone seems to say they are all right but we cannot change the system so we know how how does that get resolved because presumably if you were to see leaders leaving on mass and both countries that would result in a vacuum that would do nothing to address the economic grievances and challenges in both countries to do with poverty in the economy and public services absolutely so both in iraq and lebanon corruption is a is a culmination of it's a symptomatic of a system that is not working a system that's been interviewed the system. of corruption nepotism whereby the country has been treated like a party that will be divided among certain corrupt elites and that's why in both countries some serious changes to happen unfortunately in both countries we're talking simply a

then 2 men and morrison both have direct testimony of the phone call with the president of the united states. beyond that they only had contact with sunline and again saw on been indicated he had contact with no one on the planet of ochre testified that he did have direct contact both with the ukrainians and with the president and states and indicated that the president of state did not condition either a phone call a meeting or trade upon ukraine undertaking investigations and also testified that the ukrainians did not believe that either we also had the direct statements from the president of ukraine in the foreign minister that they did not feel any pressure to undertake investigations and we also have the evidence that we're all very much aware of which is they did not undertake any investigations. we also have that you want to dr hill. you want to bitch obviously left before the time period dr hill we appreciate your drill being with us today mr holmes dr hill you have provided me probably the greatest piece of of of evidence that's before us to illustrate the problem with your s

i read a lot of the both. our own money in things and gas is a mystery also in football didn't system we have b.c. i'll be when the lord is complaining. in full but at those images of us and you prove to us we will be in it until we know no simpler plainly you know think you're going to go and how they are put in a very nice way though when they're all come up it can get a point they were going to almost 50 to one but they don't have the number and we. don't and in order this our money to get imported on the economics i wanted to sing in buying time being he you know monday morning one back door with the name of number one out of a feeling he. he's already signed in the bundesliga in $9299.00 it's hard to imagine the league without him. that will be bizarro sized hole in our hearts next season when he's going. to spend they know this in a cup it will. be sort of the way to go throughout it both the. yeah. you know what i mean. the moment oh. sure scoring goals is important but isn't it better to prevent we bre

but both are now dismissed european leaders concerns saying they shouldn't interfere and without any evidence blamed foreign n.g.o.s. force you to assume that what this said is the world is looking to split a deal could have a greater so the problem was probably as you. eventually the government was forced to respond deploying the army across the amazon to combat the fires at the end of august. in nova progresso the presence of federal forces along with an investigation into the day of fire raise tensions and also for force. is there playing he. didn't get to you to keep you stuck with us. flyers like this were distributed on social media and around town saying that it does say it was responsible for the attention brought to nova progresso or you're afraid when you saw this. going to me or the christmas song when he was. he was forced to leave town for nearly a month only recently returned to respond to him. at this you told us he isn't confident authorities will be able to catch the main people behind that they have fired. him least so many americans are a little out of his own toda

i had a lot of the both. our own money in things and gas in a nest we also in food. didn't system we have p.c.i. e one the lord is complaining. in full but there was a much more fuss and you prove to us we will be in it until we know no simpler plainly you know think you're going to go i hardly have been in there he saw it i wanted it all come up it he got it when they were going on which of the 2 or what they don't have on number and we get on the if they don't and in order this our money to get to is important on the economic side of the total thing in buying time being he you know money money one back door with the name of number one out of a feeling he. but with. this all right 1st signed in the book in 1999 it's hard to imagine the lake without him. that will be his sorrows sized hole in our hearts next season when he's gone. the stunt they know this is a cup it'll go. away or go through it it will be. yeah. you know what i mean. the moment oh. sure scoring goals is important but isn't it better to prevent we break down the age old debate of attack this is defen

a lot of both members of both parties would like to see us go back to that. a lot of members are disturbed i the senators who go out and announced, this is what must need to be done. trump ishat president guilty of, president trump is innocent. let's just have facts. i want it to happen. will it? i don't know. but if we don't do something similar to that, i think the senate is going to be damaged. constitution will be damaged. i think the ability of our government to have real checks and balances is going to be damaged. i don't say that lightly. i say that from decades of experience. greta: senator, what do you think of senator graham's defense of the president? sen. leahy: heat will make a defense -- he will make the defense. i was a defense attorney for years. if i had a juror say, i don't need to hear the evidence, i have made up my mind, i would not have to say a word because the judge would say, off. bring in the next juror. let's step back. some of these people ought to go back and read the constitution. i think most senators have. i am not sure the pre

both are quite wealthy both are media personalities with ties to me york and both entered politics after getting rich elsewhere and both of them have a knack for blurring the political divide. donald trump has switched his political affiliation 7 times since 1087 michael bloomberg was 1st a democrat then he ran and became mayor of new york city as a republican and now he's back to being a democrat once again he says both trump and bloomberg speak of using their own resources to fund their campaign and also an apparent love of power and this i think gets to the rock of the american political system where you have oligarchy. such as bloomberg or trump or candidates like hillary clinton in 2016 who are centrally funded by all the darks dominating the political landscape and that kind of fusion between political power and media information is extremely corrosive the idea that they won't investigate bloomberg doesn't mean they won't cover bloomberg it means they will cover bloomberg uncritically and essentially they will act as a propagandist for bloomberg the the announcement that we won't i

both of thing. going to. call in. terms of the story and i think that it's about using you know something before during. and when they were primarily money up it all with the whole it was only part of and i don't know that but i think in order for you out of the end of. the peruvian princes the oldest goalscoring in the book is legal but this time here is drawing to a close did so well hang up his boots since season after 20 years in the bundesliga it's. it i'm not but i'm going to be going where you want no no no no go. you know if it's you know if you get that meal on your plate or north korea thing way so they see an hour later there you go but i always thought i know you by coming but i know. this is unbelievable he's not posted so further braeden. when he lifted the german tongue in cheek no. reason most successful. when he won just about everything. he was so much when she 13 trouble winning same thing you think you. can change plans for the future you'll soon see. sidelines. no no no no yellow liquid is our ene

from boston to supply you don't need to keep a date on the books both for the over the action on the force and flew the followed closely minute it's never worked with at least the bottom of the valley at the last dragon as well as called the harvard. degree books on. hey there we have buck with the brand new edition of the 77 percent the show for africa's youth it's great to have you with us my name is bruce and money i'm stepping in as also for today's show so let's get into it. this week's show is all about love from romantic love weddings adultery and pure passion we explore.

i've met with policymakers on both sides, and i am encouraged. i think we can expect progress to be in stages, but i am hopeful that we will see progress, and i think is important. the chinese realize it is important for them. the u.s. realizes it is important for the u.s. and, candidly for economic , growth around the world. , it is important for everybody. francine: does this deal lead to a phase two? does it mean something concrete for the world economy? david: i think we have to hope that over time, in a world where both these economies are super important to global growth, that we can find a way to make progress on all these issues. and so certainly, a step in a positive direction is a step in a positive direction. i am a glass half-full guy. i am going to assume china's interest, it is in the u.s. interest, and the global economy at large, we should see progress over time. francine: talking about hong kong, you were just in hong kong, and you postponed a party there. david: we had been celebrating around the world this year the 150th annive

>> we're both here under subpoena. i don't think either of us is going to comment why others have not shown up. >> but have any of the documents you turned over, to your knowledge, been turned over to the committee? >> no. >> mr. kent, following the july 25th call and through the first two weeks of august, were you involved in any efforts to arrange for president zelensky to make a statement announcing the two investigations president trump had talked about in the july 25th call? >> i was not, and i would never participate in an arrangement to have them announce vefr investigations. >> ambassador taylor, were you involved in such negotiations? >> no, sir. >> i want to show you a text between ambassador volker and yoma. he said, i agree with your approach. let's iron out statement and use that to get date and then president zelensky can go forward with it? yermak replied, once we have a date, will call for a press briefing, announcing upcoming visit and outlining vision for the reboot of u.s.-ukraine relationship, inclu

both were supreme court clerks. both are acclaimed across america for their opinions and their rigor and their approach to the constitution and i just can't wait to ask them how their clerkships influence their approach to judging and the constitution. that's just what i'm going to do and i'll briefly introduce them by saying that judge jeffrey sutton sits on the u.s. court of appeals for the sixth circuit. he is the author of such an important book. he came to the constitution center to discuss it and i want you all to read it. it will transform your view of the constitution, 51 imperfect solutions, states and the making of american constitutional law among many other important works. and he clerked both for justice powell and for justice scalia. and judge diane wood is chief judge of the u.s. court of appeals for the seventh circuit. she has transformed the law with her judicial opinions regarded as definitive on so many of the areas she writes and teaches in at the university of chicago law school including antit

you do both, you just don't do them both at the same instant. so games is a fun pastime. spend 50 hours working and 50 hours sleeping, that leaves 68 hours -- [laughter] so plenty of time to play games. but think about the game companies the way you thought about the movie studios back in the '40s. over the next 80 years, they got six new windows to sell their stuff. they're going to get bigger and bigger and bigger as you're able to play games without a console. ashley: terrific stuff. we're already out of time. thank you both for joining us and, of course, disney's earnings coming out after the bell. thank you, gentlemen, both. we appreciate it. >> thank you. ashley: keep an eye on the big board. we have lost a little bit of steam but, nevertheless, the dow's still up 170 point, still on track for a record close as is the s&p. about. but the nasdaq now falling below record territory. we'll see if there's a last minute burst though. we'll keep an eye on that. >>> coming up next, the shocking new report that could upend the autonomous driving race leaving way mow solidly

only the ifs seems to have given both the main parties ad— to have given both the main parties a d— forjust on spending but on other policies. on social care for example they say both the main parties are not offering credible proposals to ensure families don't face catastrophic care costs. on benefit changes they are saying boris johnson is not doing anything to reverse existing benefit cuts whereas jeremy corbyn‘s reverse existing benefit cuts whereasjeremy corbyn‘s plans to scrap universal credit risks a decade of more upheaval and turmoil for claimants. on pensioners, they question while both the main parties are still seeking to shield pensioners and to ensure they enjoy continued relative generosity with pension rises and pension benefits like the winter fuel allowance, given so far previous governments have protected them from a lot of austerity. the consolation i suppose for borisjohnson austerity. the consolation i suppose for boris johnson and austerity. the consolation i suppose for borisjohnson and mr corbyn is the ifs seem to be saying, well, you are both as bad as each oth

both want to invest in public services. that means investment on a scale never seen before in this country, and certainly never seen before in the north and outside of london and the south—east. there will be new hospitals, schools, railways, better broadband, new connections and opportunities for every part of our great nation. from public spending to party politics — a former labour mp makes a blistering attack onjeremy corbyn. we'll be live in leeds, hearing about what matters away from westminster. also tonight: the death of the former aston villa striker, dalian atkinson — a police officer is charged with murder. thejodie chesney murder — two teenagers are found guilty at the old bailey. this is what it looks like when you're trying to beat the land speed record — we join the bloodhound team on a practice run. and coming up on bbc news, on day one of the para athletics championships, british medal hope kadeena cox is back from injury and talks to us about her mental health issues. good evening and welcome to the bbc ne

both areas are vulnerable to significant negative headways in -- both areas are vulnerable to significantegative headwinds in the form of policy changes under consideration in the u.s. and china. put simply, china must open further. it needs to resist the defensive temptation to protect domestic firms that would become stronger if they are subjected to best in class foreign competition. but washington needs to resist some temptations, too. decoupling china from u.s. markets by delisting chinese firms from u.s. exchanges is a terrible idea. viviana: former goldman sachs president gary cohn served as chief economic advisor to president donald trump. in an exclusive conversation with francine lacqua, he shared his insight on trade. gary: i think we are having a trade skirmish. i think the two sides have some disagreements on trade, but if you look at what is going on, the two countries are functioning. there is a lot of trade still going back and forth. the united states is receiving the goods from china that we need to have a fully-functioning economy, and our economy is functioning well. i

well let's take that full out from today's hearing to both washington and kiev in the u.s. capital jonathan katz is with the think tank the german marshall fund of the united states and our correspondent in ukraine nick connolly good evening to you both jonathan firstly to you what struck you about the good evening testimony today from memory you have on of it the former u.s. ambassador to ukraine. well 1st i just want to say that i had an opportunity to work with mushy ivana bitch and she's one of the one of america's top diplomats so there's deep deep disappointment in washington both sides of the aisle and her treatment and today's hearing where she again provided i think very telling testimony about an effort 12 to ouster a shadow effort by the trump administration to conduct policy that's not in the interest of the united states but to further donald trump's political own political agenda and so i think the testimony today particularly the moment where the chair of this committee adam schiff read out a tweet highlighting the president once again trying to intimidate mu

they are both cover-ups -- they are both coverups and expose's. the last big i.g. report that exposed the strong-page hatred for trump and pro clinton activity, he pretend had nothing to do with the investigation. i suspect we have evidence of crimes taking place, and are they going to tell us it had nothing to do with what comey and brennan is attacking trump every day. idea he was running the cia and running operations against him. they won't draw any adverse conclusions? the president needs to appoint a special counsel to get into this. you can't rely on the system. lou: i can't wait for the barr conclusion to this. i remain somewhat optimistic. i know that makes me alone on this set. >> i'm outraged because i'm optimistic. i hope for the right thing and it just doesn't happen. lou: president trump weighs in on the protests in hong kong and how those protests may affect the trade deal with china and the president's role in assuring the safety of thousands of those dem craters. we'll be right back. stay with us. i saved hundreds on my car insurance when i switche

in kieve and in washington i fear that those problems were still present i consulted both my wife and the respected former senior republican official who has been a mentor i will tell you that my wife in no uncertain terms strongly opposed the idea of the mentor council if your country asked you to do something you do it if you can be effective i could be effective only if the u.s. policy of strong support for ukraine strong diplomatic support along with robust security economic and technical assistance were to continue and if i had the backing of the secretary of state to implement that policy and i worried about what i'd heard concerning the role of rudy giuliani who had made several controversial statements about ukraine and u.s. policy for the country so during my meeting with secretary pompeo on may 28th i made clear to him and the others president present that if the u.s. policy toward ukraine changed he would not want me posted there and i could not state issued me that the policy of strong support for ukraine would continue and that he would support me in defending that policy

thank you both for being here today. let me remind witnesses to please limit testimony to five minutes. without objection, your prepared statements will be made part of the record. thank you so much for being here today. assistant secretary schenker, you are recognized. >> thank you for inviting us here today. >> pull the microphone closer. thank you for inviting us here to discuss the budget requests stability of immigration is imperative in the middle east and african protecting the american people and our interests abroad. the core objective which benefits the u.s. press as well as the region drives our diplomatic the presidents fyi 2024 an assistant budget requested 6.6 billion for the region and shore that the defeat of isis to help ethnic minorities throughout the region and secure political allies across the region. the request also recognizes that the united states cannot alone bear sole responsibility for challenges in the region this place is a emphasis on burden sharing leveraging taxpayer dollars from our par

new screen that about to reconvene and they'll begin questioning both of these witnesses we've heard from colonel alexander vin min the director of european affairs the national security council and jennifer williams who is a foreign service devised president mike pence both of raise concerns about what they have heard on the telephone call that they both listened in to between donald trump and the ukrainian president as alinsky they used words such as improper and unusual and i actually took that further we'll return to that as soon as we come back joseph euro is with us at the moment discussing this further we might break a wife that starts joseph but i want to go back to something that devon is said again and this is been a tactic from the republicans hasn't it to cast this in his words as a shariah aid they want to muddy the waters it's a witch hunt how effective is that at least in the public's mind do you think well for people who are predisposed to be supporters of the president to be critical of the democrats and this investigation that kind of talk you know certainly. reinfo

consultant both of you welcome the judge let me start with you 5 days of testimony looking at this as a prosecutor has the case been made that successfully shows that the president is guilty of an impeachable offense what do you say. well it's difficult because what constitutes an impeachable offense is such an objective concept because it's really anything that members of congress say that it is so if we were building a traditional criminal prosecution right basically if we were trying to say that the president was guilty of bribery or extortion or some other federal crime i would say the democrats have gone a long way to establishing the elements of a prosecution with respect to impeachment which we keep saying is really a political case you know look they have done what they need to do and they probably did it yesterday with him basser sunland to describe kind of fill in the gaps in what they needed to do to reach the point of saying we think we have one or more impeachable offenses here and they going to be something like bribery as far as whether they reach the american people an

thanks to both of you for joining us.u think the democrats picked these two diplomats, career diplomats, ambassador bill taylor, deputy assistant secretary of state george kent, to lead off these historic hearings? >> because their credentials are impeccable. and i think that they will start to make the case that what you had here was, in john's case, a third rate bribery in the watergate hearing. this was a third rate burglary. this is a third rate bribery case. and i think these two very well credentialed diplomats will be able to make the case that what this was, was essentially a solicitation of a bribe by the president of the united states. >> what do you think? >> good points. they were willing to come forward. the foreign services is playing a very unique role here. they have the knowledge. the background. they certainly have the credentials. and they are making powerful witnesses. >> the argument that republicans will make that both of these witnesses said they didn't have any direct contact, they didn't have conv

fortune for the automobile or both it's more than it's ever so much fun to shoot. welcome back to worlds apart with a lot of what i did ski associate professor of science at the university of california san diego professor bird this guy know that you are very passionate advocate of linguistic and cultural diversity as well as multilingualism as a way all experiencing live. to bouts of your ability how many languages were enough for you personally to make about transition from what you call and i released them to a relative well i'm not sure that i fully made that transition i think it's very hard to it's hard to get away from naive realism i grew up speaking russian as my native language and then i had to learn english from my family immigrated to the us and i speak some terrible french and some very poor indonesian and little bits and pieces you're a very humble person as well well into new indonesian speakers are very high and so they say they say that my indonesian. but french speakers are less kind so. now speaking about your russian i heard you say during one

greta: congressional reporter scott wong, katherine tully-mcmanus, thank you both for being on "newsmakers." [captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2019] [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, which is responsible for its caption content and accuracy. visit ncicap.org] announcer: coming up in just a few minutes, discussion on impeachment, foreign interference, and how to best safeguard the 2020 elections. that will be live from the brookings institution here in washington, d.c., starting at 3:30 p.m.. the house intelligence committee chair adam schiff spoke today about the release of deposition transcripts of the former ukraine abbasid or and a former state department senior advisor. you can read those transcripts at c-span.org. >> good morning. today we had additional scheduled depositions with the top lawyer for the national mr.rity council, as well as blair from the office of management and budget. and someone who work closely with mick mulvaney. both of them defied congressional subpoenas and refused to appear for their scheduled depositions, as has bee

they both were shot. we need to recall that kennedy's murder in dallas on november 22, 1963 and reagan's wounding in washington, d.c. on march 30, occurred at moments when each man's presidencies flailing.ift, even the passage of each man's legislative agenda in congress was far from guaranteed. in each case, their agendas were languishing in congress. shooting then provided the impetus for creating their legacies. in the fall of 1963, kennedy's job approval rating had dropped to 56%. the lowest point of his presidency. and it seemed destined to fall more. much of this was from his loss of white support in the south over the issue of civil rights. generally the nation seemed stalled. kennedy had not won even 50% of the popular vote in 1960 and was sure he'd lose the entire south 1964, a region had carried in 1960. and he worried many other states well.t risk as look magazine was just one of many publications that ran 1963les in the fall of that explained kennedy could lose his re-election bid. kennedy's e

i restarted hong kong where people are voting in unison elections the vote is seen as a both a test of kerry lab's probe aging government and as a referendum on the pro-democracy movement that has rocked the city for months voter participation is already at record levels. hung conus are used to queuing for restaurants conventions but not for an election especially not on a sunday morning and even before the polling stations open. moments after the queues started to form came a familiar face pro-democracy leader aung he himself was spot from running this recount that you action action in more community based more district it was an issue is that overall hong kong political system reform but i still urge people both in the action to show i what this called had to beijing. many voters see these local elections as of referendum on whether the public still supports the protests hong kong has been rocked by almost 6 months of unrest some of it violent but calm returned in the run up to the election protests his feet the government might call off the vote. we are facing an extremely challengi

both he and ambassador volker we delay would be lifted. in fact,al improved since president trump took office. ambassador taylor testified that president trump was the first president to see that ukraine was afforded javelin anti-tank weapons. this was a very strong message that americans are willing to provide more than blankets. this was the obama administration's approach. note this important fact. the security assistance was provided to ukraine without the ukrainians having done any of the things they were supposedly being blackmailed to do. so we're supposed to believe that president trump committed a terrible crime that never actually occurred and which the supposed victim denies ever happened. i'd like to briefly speak about the core mistruth at the heart of the democrats' impeachment drive. they claim the president tried to get the ukrainians to, quote, manufacture dirt against his political rivals. this is supported by precisely zero evidence. once again, the democrats simply made it up. let's consider the broader question about w

both colonel vindman and ms. williams were on the july 25th call. vindman testified that due to the unequal bargaining position of the two leaders and ukraine's dependency on the u.s., the favor trump asked of zelensky was really a demand. after the call, multiple individuals including vindman were concerned enough to report it to the national security council's top lawyer. it was the second time in two weeks that vindman had raised concerns with nsc lawyers. for her part, williams also believed that asking zelensky to undertake these political investigations was inappropriate and that it might explain something else that she had become aware of, the otherwise inexplicable hold on u.s. military assistance to ukraine. both colonel vindman and ms. williams also took note of the explicit use of the word burisma by zelensky. in fact, speleft out of the cal. colonel vindman believed it was a fact that other witnesses have now confirmed. in the weeks that followed the july 25 call, colonel vindman continued to push for

and the reason for this is for safety -- david: on both sides. >> yeah, on both sides because there'sn sexual assault cases, rape, harassment. there's one study, there aren't any public numbers, one study washington post did the research for that 300 people were fired or lost their uber status because of sexual misconduct just within a three-year period. and uber is not forced to tell the police of this. so this brings up privacy, brings up -- david: it does indeed. that's the question, panel. are security concerns worth giving up your privacy on uber rides? scott? >> i'm not sure why people are so concerned about privacy when it comes to security. they do kind of go hand in hand in the sense one does help the other. as kristina pointed out they've been behind the scenes or behind the flow on the fact they are stepping up now presumably in mexico and brazil which is an interesting place to start i'm all for it. >> let's be clear. you have no privacy when you are in an uber. your driver is listening in to whatever you are doing anyway. you don't have privacy. as long as you opt into it

of both large economic entities, the west and china. so the minute you make a choice, you give up 50% of your capital flows and 50% of your trade flows. and that is not a recipe for economic success. haslinda: we know africa has been impacted by the u.s.-china trade war. growth is down, investor sentiment is down. commodities, currency also down. in such scenario, has the u.s. reputation in africa been impacted? and has china's standing been boosted? zouera: what we do know is, as a continent, africa is not based on ideology. people will pick who the better partner is and who is coming up with better deals, better and more deals. and china has been very active lately in africa. so has russia. interest in africa in ways we had not experienced before, in different forms. so, really, like piyush just said, i don't know that there is a choice, like it is either/or. it is really going to have to be a mix of both. that africa will have to deal with. haslinda: opportunities are increasingly in the east. what are european companies doing, and w

of mutual protection and power that buries stories, and both of our cultures. also literally because i am following a trail of clues that leads from harvey weinstein using the media to bury stories all the way up to donald trump doing the same. 0k, it you say this is effectively what nbc did, your former employer, when you were working there and starting, trying to uncover the various allegations against harvey weinstein. well, what happened at nbc is, i think, metaphorically in the category of the media conspiring with adverse subjects of reporting to bury difficult stories and there is a whole carefully for checked body of reporting and claims from all of the working leveljournalists around this but this was shut down and many of it has now been admitted to in the conversation in the wake of this book it is not the same catch and kill practice in the literal sense which involves the acquisition of the rights to a story in a financial transaction, and then the killing of it. now nbc would probably not, i mean, they rebut a lot of the allegations you have made

at nearly 70 percent higher than in any election in the territories history now the vote is seen as both a test of support for embattled chief executive kerry and as a referendum on the pro-democracy movement that has rocked the city for close to 6 months. the pro-democracy movement urged people to vote and they turned out in record numbers the selections are to closest thing hong kong hours have to direct representation a nearly half a year for unrest has left many feeling that enough is enough. people have been long thought a long. time. but time cooperate rowboat that mo this might mean it's worth of my mortal thank you. this and to do was to the people . hong kong's chief executive kerry lam also encouraged voters to turn out and appealed for a smooth and peaceful voting. we are facing an extremely challenging situation all the. things to say that the concept that. we should have that really. sets. the polis to choose council representatives who handle community level issues like garbage collection that may not seem particularly exciting in itself district councillors don't have any

higher than in any election in the territories history now the vote is a symbolic one it is seen as both a test of support for embattled chief executive kerry lamb and is a referendum on the pro-democracy movement that has rocked the city for close to 6 months. the pro-democracy movement urged hong kong's people to vote and they turned out in force hours before polls closed numbers had already exceeded previous records on the surface of it the poll to choose council representatives and link community level concerns like garbage collection may not seem particularly exciting but these elections are the closest thing that hong kong has have to direct representation district councils have long been dominated by the probation establishment and voters seeking change hope that weakening their grip will give the movement a fresh momentum and. people have been long thought for long you know their time at that time cooperate. with my me talk to my mortal thank you go mr listen to the wars of the people. hong kong's chief executive kerry lamb also encouraged voter turnout and appealed for smooth an

neither did the nationalist further that his capture had fueled on both sides of the border. at the exhibition many visitors a feeling as patriotic as ever. for the telegraph the pakistani army did a good thing and they have made us proud they have failed us with enthusiasm so we can fight with cards and pride if someone dares to attack us and we can say proudly that we are pakistani and we are no less than anyone else. the legendary story of wing commander. tom a source of national pride for india and pakistan. while the exhibit have sparked a flurry of reaction on social media let's take a look at a tweet from an indian user in delhi now who writes that pakistanis have become great fans of wing commander of the number one who spoke like a boss even under the most trying and intimidating conditions inside an enemy country as a p.o.w. after all statues are built for heroes here's a response from a user located in england with a pakistani take on the exhibit saying of course we love you by he really enjoyed our fantastic team and he didn't say anything bad about pakistan when

, election were both of the parties seem further apart, both of the parties seem to have evolved, partlysons, and another in cannon we re other reasons, and another in cannon were saying that they had spoken to a labour memberon were saying that they had spoken to a labour member on the doorstep and told a story about how a voter said told a story about how a voter said to him, "i don't feel there is anyone in the middle." we don't know actually how the make—up of parliament will be in the end and there are lots of people in the labour party and the tory party who would very much see themselves as being the middle ground. but i think that people are feeling that and that people are feeling that and thatis that people are feeling that and that is so many people about, "i don't who to vote for this time." and the lib dems think there is a huge opportunity for them. and you will be seeing much more of us because every night on the bbc news channel at 8:30pm you will be seeing election cast, the election themed cousin of brexitcast. and on bbc sounds as a podcast. if you want to listen to an

but for years, they were both deeply loyal lieutenants of the party.g you to choose not a labour prime minister, but a conservative. if you're not going to do what's right on a fundamental question like racism, what are you going to do it on? i wouldn't say boris johnson is unfit to be our prime minister in the way that i say that about jeremy corbyn. the country has a big choice to make, and i thinkjeremy corbyn is completely unfit to lead it. and another who worried about anti—semitism is off too. tom watson, the deputy leader, survived an attempt to oust him a couple of months ago, but he's standing down, he says for personal reasons. not all of mr corbyn‘s supporters in liverpool are sorry to say goodbye. i think good riddance. why do you say that? because this election comes down to a brutal choice, and that needs a socialist government. if you're not a socialist, then shut the door on the way out. i do think that the party now is united more than ever and as labour supporters, we need to mobilise. every party has its massive divisions. as he head
