fellow church member, kim adams, says she got to know a dave who was very different from the heartlessescribed by nici's friends and family. the dave kim knew was a forlorn widower who spoke fondly about his lost wife. >> when he would speak of her, i could see a sadness in him. we would have conversations about, you know, he was struggling, because he missed her. >> meanwhile, at the county sheriff's office, the three-ring binders that made up the pietz file moved from desk to desk, until in 2010, they were picked up by two cold case cops, jake papovich and mike mellis. each was determined to apply some heat. >> i called gayle up and said i've got this case now and it's my intent to be the last detective to have this case. >> they laid out the entire investigation, and then homed in hone in on day one. that saturday morning nici pietz presumably left the condo she shared with dave and headed out to her special aa meeting. to the cold case detectives' fresh eyes, a few key pieces of evidence from that morning jumped out. common-sense stuff, really. like nici's wedding ring. a photo tak

paul: kim, the -- adam schiff quoted an anonymous source from newspaper saying that trump had warnedthey voted against him, heads on pikes, end quote, this was not taken very well by a lot of senators including a couple that the house democrats would need to call witnesses. >> yeah, again, paul, i think that's why even those mentioned about john bolton are not going to prove decisive in the end because republicans understand that democrats are doing this in a way that no matter what happens in this trial that the minute that the president is acquitted, the democrats claim see it was a cover-up, it doesn't matter what they do, doesn't matter how they vote or how witnesses come, they will say that one way or another, it's the only way out of losing on acquittal and that is what is guiding a lot of people. >> doesn't look like this has moved public opinion at all, kyle. >> no, that's -- it's basically been stable since late september, late october, and so if you're in nancy pelosi's shoes, i don't know if you're thinking, having regrets of opening can of worms now. paul: you hear critic

mr kim made the announcement at a government meeting two days ago — but appears to have cancelled his traditional new year's speech. paul adamsomacy? no traditional new year's address this time. instead, state television detailed the contents of the speech two days ago in which the north korean leader threatened to unveil a new strategic weapon. north korea, he said, was no longer bound by its promises to halt nuclear and intercontinental ballistic missile tests. sanctions have not been lifted, that they are no longer testing or improving their strategic weapons as much as they would like and so this is, in part, a signal to the united states that they don't plan to continue waiting. on top of renewed tensions with iran, it's a new year's challenge for president trump. he did sign a contract, he did sign an agreement, talking about denuclearisation, and that was signed, number one sentence, denuclearisation, that was done in singapore and i think he's a man of his word, so we're going to find out, but i think he's a man of his word. the president has made much of his relationship with the leader he used to call little rocket

kim wehle, jonathan turley. straight to capitol hill, were adam schiff is just speaking.adam schiff isjust speaking. this trial should be no different than any other trial in america. it should involve the calling of witnesses, it should involve the production of documents. the house should have the opportunity to prove its case. and if we prove our case, the senate should convict and remove the president from office. but the senate should allow us a fair trial. the senate should allow us a child that's fair to the american people, one that allows the house to call releva nt one that allows the house to call relevant witnesses, witnesses. the senate is not a court of appeals. that was conceited, albeit in the wee hours of the morning, by the president's own team. there is no court below. the house charge the president, the senate tries the case. a trial involves witnesses. if it is fair. we laid out exactly why these witnesses are important, what we expect they would have to say. we laid out all the documents that the ministration is withholding and how the senators, if t

adams, bbc news. more later in the programme. let's get some of the day's other news: kimth korea is abandoning its moratoriums on nuclear and long—range ballistic missile tests. he'd given the united states until the end of 2019 to find a way of salvaging their stalled talks on ridding the korean peninsula of nuclear weapons. president trump says the first phase of a trade deal with china will be signed at the white house on the 15th of january. in a tweet, mr trump also announced that at a later date he will be going to beijing where talks will begin on phase two. riot police in hong kong have begun the new year by firing tear gas at anti—government protesters, who blocked roads and started fires. earlier, demonstrators formed human chains at major sites across the territory. a big gathering is planned for later on new year's day. a court in angola has ordered the seizure of assets belonging to isabel dos santos, the daughter of the former president. she's been accused of involvement in the theft of $1 billion worth of state assets from angola. she denies any wrongdoing.

adam schiff. they are transfixed by your hard cover. what were you doing with that book? >> i would love to. i had kim'sook that is all about the resistance. she has a great chapter in there about the acts of destruction. that's what i was reading through. it's very relevant to what we are doing. you have seen other members that have books regarding different impeachment hearings. those are on their desks. everyone is spending their time well. you have to bear in mind, today there was one particular clip of hill. we saw it five different times. there is a lot of repetition in what they are showing and saying. the point is the senate is going to perform our constitutional duty in the appropriate mary poss -- manner and we will be fair. i already have a notebook full of notes. we are going to get to a summary judgment. i look forward to getting to that point. >> laura: senator, can you do whatever you want during the trial. the house wants to dictate the rules in the senate. the media wants to dictate what everybody understands about the trial and don't know anyone to know the truth about the bidens and n

adam schiff conducting the impeachment inquiry. >> thank you for all of that. joining us now to talk about all of this, we have seung min kim washington post" and cnn political commentator joe lockhart. joe, it just gets worse. it just gets worse. every week there is more evidence that comes out about this shadow diplomacy or whatever operation rudy giuliani was doing over in ukraine. and this is particularly disturbing. these text messages just laid out. let me read some because no wonder yovanovitch didn't feel safe. when she testified that she -- people were making threats. she started to feel unsafe. when somebody told her to get on the plane now, she didn't really ask questions. she got on a plane right then because she was so concerned about her safety. so this guy robert hyde who's this republican candidate, huge trump supporter says things like this. they are moving her tomorrow. the guys asked me what i would like to do and what's in it for them. here's what he says about marie yovanovitch. her phone is off, computer is off. she's next to the embassy, not in the embassy. she has private security. been there since t

this is from capitol hill reporter kim, her note about 10:15 last night saying, leaving the capitol lindsey graham, a staunch trump defender, told adam schiff that he's done a good job in his opening arguments. really well-spoken is what graham told schiff. then there was this moment towards the end of yesterday's proceedings, right before the senate adjourned for the evening, both sides, the leaders on both sides in the senate, mitch mcconnell and chuck schumer, got up to thank the senate pages, the high school-age pages whose semesters are up this week and who have been working in the capitol to help the senators. here's that moment from the floor. >> in addition to witnessing this unusual event that we are all experiencing, they are studying for their final exams as well and we wish them well as they head off back to boring normal high school. >> mr. leader, let me just add my thanks and gratitude for all of us. it is rare, particularly these days, when 100 senators from both sliles, every political persuasion, get up and give someone a standing ovation. but you deserve it. thank you for your good work and we hope you have beautif
