edu gordon saleh and president trump that occurred on july 26th this is the day after trump had spoken with the president of ukraine on the phone explicitly asking for investigations into joe biden and just let me set the scene for this overheard call so the day after the fall is a lenski. holmes was meeting with his alinsky as a follow up he said that the president of ukraine said 3 times that trump had brought up sensitive information on this call sensitive issues were his words that which he later understood meant these investigations into biden and then afterwards as the u.s. officials were sitting down for a light inch he was surprised holmes says because some when the ambassador to the e.u. pulled out his phone and in the middle of a lunch on a patio restaurant in kiev he dialed the number for the president of the united states and this is what holmes said he overheard. basser silence phone was not on speaker phone i could hear the president's voice through the ear piece of the phone the president's voice was loud and recognizable and a better song and held the phone away from hi

was that there were great hopes here among the protestors when it was announced that president saleh would be making a televised speech to the nation that quickly transformed into the danger protestors are calling it a speech by joe useless week and evidence of just more empty promise. this from the government they saved shows just how wide the gulf for bain's between the government and the doing of the protestors sightless said yes right minister i'll go out the back he will step down but not until successor is named so it won't create a constitutional back to them no details were given as to who would be us selecting the successor and what that timeframe would be yes salles said elections would be held but not until if you would like the law was drafted to do electoral commission was formed again in no time frame given but he did say next week a draft of the new election laws will be given to the parliament after the tasha thank you for that for now that's natasha going to the latest live in baghdad thank you. after weeks of hearings a behind closed doors the impeachment process ta

it appears as saleh is sticking to that that 2nd.that 2nd explanation he gave that he does still presume believe that there is that a linkage but then he's threading the needle they're saying as a cob yet he did believe this fact it appears everybody believe this but he did not have that he conversation with trump you never heard trump himself say that this aid was conditioned on the investigations ok heidi thank you very much just to let people see what we're saying the ambassador has returned to the room we expect the questioning to be again and any moment if i can get a quick question of kimberly what is the the president's demeanor been today i mean one of our analysts described this testimony today as devastating. yeah but the president sees a loophole and it's clear if he spoke in front of reporters we've this president throughout these proceedings going back to the very 1st day of public hearings said he wasn't watching yesterday he acknowledged he was watching today he had had written notes on our reporters no pads to piers t

president has addressed the nation in a bid to end a weeks of violent protests in the country barham saleh has promised to hold early elections and says that prime minister abdullah abdullah will resign once a replacement is a greet and lebanon's president has called for an end to the country's sectarian divide after weeks of anti-government demonstrations on folding there as well michel aoun is saying that lebanon must establish a civil state. so let's get some further analysis on these protests now with more one of their senior political analysts so what's fascinating about lebanon and iraq is that we are seeing a grassroots movement that really crosses political sectarian and and class divide and i suppose in both cases it's not just a question of whether the government can change but whether the system will change absolutely. and the worst part of it is that everyone admits including what we heard earlier from the lebanese president and we hear that from iraqi leaders everyone admits to the corruption as if corruption is some sort of a divine intervention not something done by those ve

said there was no quid pro quo when asked if he believed the president when he said that ambassador saleh refused to characterize whether he believed that the president actually meant that in the bathrooms also testified that in fact this was a quid pro quo ukraine would not give the a without making an announcement into the biden so let's get you back now to the master to the new. sounding any alarm bell because of course had someone mentioned it i would have sat up and taken notice. everyone tara was on fire but no one decided to talk to us you know when you when you talk in your statement about in the absence of any credible explanation for the suspension of aid i later came to believe i was your speculation it was your guess on that the resumption of security aid would not occur on till there was a public statement from ukraine committing to the investigations of 2060 and i believe you said it at this point you believed everyone everyone knew uses their correct. i think once that politico article broke it sort of making the rounds that you know if you can't get a white house meeting w

condition on announcement of the investigations referencing at that point the phone conversations that saleh had with president trump he was asked specifically about a conversation in early september which occurred right after it was brought to his attention that there was a lot of among other u.s. ambassadors saying that that was crazy that it appeared that this aide was linked to the political investigations will someone testified that he called trump in the middle of the night that he got a very sour traum who was in a bad mood and when solid ass trump what is it that you do want he said that the president's words were i want nothing i do not want to quit pro quo but selenski the president of ukraine should quote do the right thing so he song line is saying that that's affirmed what his and now us says of the situation was already at that point that the security aid and that the investigations into the bidens were tied. so heidi this is a lot of what someone is saying it is new information you could you could maybe depending on how you describe it you can say he's updating is testimony ch

them on minutes that the phone call was so loud he heard the president himself say on the phone to saleh that he wanted those investigations from. ukraine and later when this staffer asked on land was it true that the president didn't care about ukraine in fact to use an expletive in describing how little he cared about ukraine sol and agreed that it was indeed the case and said that the president only cared about quote the big star us what was that chord in the song and things that would help the president personally like the biden investigations all right heidi many thanks indeed let's bring in our white house correspondent then kimberly how it could with us live at the white house given all of you we just heard kimberly how worried is the white house about saddam's testimony today. what you think that given some of the testimony that we've heard that this would be concerning to the white house but just the opposite at least that's the public face the u.s. president is trying to project onto today's news cycle he's tweeted that in fact the white house confidence is growing as hearings

parliament headed i'm going have also called on him to resign on thursday iraq's president but home saleh said that he is ready to step down if a replacement is agreed upon the kind of place he was i want to include civil groups in order to have the aspired reforms within the legal framework and in a manner that preserves public interest peace and security the current situation cannot go on we are truly in need of reform and massive changes. it took 8 months to form iraq's new cabinet at a time when many iraqis say they don't trust the government but it's not clear how long it will take for these reforms to make any difference. what is known know is that these iraqis insist they'll keep on protesting until all their demands are met so to hide out. the u.s. is imposing new sanctions on iran this time targeting its construction sexor state department is accusing to revolutionary guards with its considers a terrorist organization or being involved in the industry it's also identified for materials it says have been used in iran's ballistic missile program and has issued an embargo on their t

orden saleh the same man who had to haul truck from the restaurant in kiev and she said to some land that what he was doing was going to blow up that his he being tasked to act upon the president's political agenda here domestically was at odds with what hills directive was which which she had understood was official us foreign policy supported by bipartisan congress which was to support ukraine militarily in its war against russian incursion and to champion. it's a new president who was in her estimation is making great progress in combat in combat corruption in ukraine and she said that putting all of that at risk for the parag that is of this president to help his reelection campaign she didn't use those words but she said to put his political interests above the good of the above established us foreign policy she warned would blow up and she said that is why we find ourselves in this current moment yeah ok thanks on capitol hill there and now to our washington studios and geoffrey kemp a service who is director of political studies at miscount and center a center right think tank

nicely by allan but the major takeaways from the morning yesterday was the testimony of a vaster worded saleh who's said that there was an explicit condition. on getting this investigation going that trump wanted into the bidens and he said that explicit condition was an invite for the ukrainian president to visit the white house for a photo op with trump and then he took it a step further and said that he presumed that there was yet another condition that this was that it was required for the ukrainians to open these investigations in order to get $400000000.00 of u.s. security aid and then stalin said that his presumption was not corrected by anyone else and they ministration that he had conversations with the acting chief of staff of this office and also the vice president the department of state the department of energy and solids words he said everyone was looped in that it was clearly understood by everyone exactly what was at stake now republicans had previously been using as a line of defense that because the ukrainians apparently weren't looped in that they didn't understand that the
