unclear and there's no clear winner yeah and if it stays that way are we looking at a possible 3rd alexion this year for israel. well that's always a possibility but there's a sense here that you know israelis wouldn't like to see a 3rd election. and 3 heard just a few moments ago victor lieberman head of the israel bettina party and he. penned out the scenario of a unity government he actually said you know israel isn't in what he called an emergency situation and it needs to be a broader a wider government that could mean possibly a government of likud blue and white and possibly isro detain you i mean these are you know the early hours we really have to wait and see for the results now coming in of the whole process then because the president then has to task you know the person the candidate his things that's most suited and has more chances to form that coalition that it's part of the whole process in israel isn't it the deal making them and the new bring in stranded making what is the future for prime minister benjamin netanyahu after tonight and you know obviously i'm talking about

alleges trump used his power to get ukraine to interfere in the 2020 alexion the complaint shows that the white house suppressed the details of a phone call between the american and ukrainian presidents on thursday the acting director of national intelligence went to congress to explain why he hadn't handed this information to them. caught up in events beyond his control. of the means lenski on his 1st visit this ukrainian president to ground 0 to form a comedian was only elected 5 months ago and now he's at the center of an impeachment inquiry. it was all triggered by whistleblowers complained accusing donald trump of soliciting interference in the 2020 u.s. election by pressuring mr the lenski to initiate or continue an investigation into form of vice president joe biden and his son hunter biden thing it was house intelligence committee chair adam schiff who precipitated the release of the complaint. this month he subpoenaed u.s. spy chief joseph mcguire to explain why he hadn't passed on the complaint to the committee. that whistleblower by their very act of coming forward and show

results i thought well russia is quite a large countries around which we want to get the official alexion totals but looking here at moscow which is actually the most closely watched races we're seeing that voter turnout is roughly in line with what it was last year and that was only around 21 percent which is quite low and that could be an indication that these weeks of protests would lead up to this polling actually feel to have a large impact on the electoral ship here when these regional elections are being seen as a serious test for russian president vladimir putin and his united russia party why . well that's because he the united see united russia is or is saying the right thing there is phase seen some rather historically low polling numbers right now only around 30 percent of the russian population says they actually support the party which is form kind of the backbone of the support for letting a putin for almost the last 20 years now and their brand is especially considered toxic in some of the major cities we're talking about moscow and st petersburg here that's part of the re

democrats have got impeachment fever and the only cure is going to be reelected the president in the 2020 alexion they want to continue the switch on trying to teach the president because they don't agree with the results of the 2016 election well as you can see the situation in the case is very complicated i think it's very important to try not to fall into any kind of speculation until we actually see the transcript of that phone call between trump and cements ok bring this right up to date. thank you. just keeping with the story a little bit longer because ukrainian president vladimir give a light hearted reply when asked about pressure from. the new film was a distant. dream. reaching for the studio and the men who did mostly to keep senior obama she's talking we heard more on this from former u.s. diplomat jim jones dress and political commentator john william lyden. i don't think the republicans in the senate would have just called for something and taken a hostile position to the president i mean look i held office 14 years i've had these conversations there were is was definitely a back c

trump's energy market enthusiasm in fact most of the people who want to run against him in the 2020 alexion want to outlaw the practice of hydraulic fracking that's the reason the usa has so much oil and gas any proposal to avert the climate crisis must include a full fracking 5 ban on public and private lands. on my 1st day as president i will sign an executive order that puts a total merger tarm on own you fossil fuel leases for drilling offshore and on public lands and i will ban fracking everywhere it's not just the left progressives you've got the centrist kemal the harris there's no question i'm in favor of banning fracking so at this point roughly 59 percent of america's oil is extracted from the shale so if you outlawed the practice of hydraulic fracking you would not down the oil sector of the u.s. economy pretty hard the same for natural gas now check out this headline. kremlin kemal or harris and other democrats are embracing vladimir putin's preferred us energy policy the new conspiracy theory even went viral on twitter many in fracking and use of natural gas would do more damag

democrats have got impeachment fever and the only cure is going to be reelected the president in the 2020 alexion they want to continue this which are trying to teach the president because they don't agree with the results of the 2016 election well they can see this is a very complicated case allegations are very strong but i think this is very important not to fall into any like speculation mode until at least we see the transcript of that phone conversation between trump and like him is i'm asking and we know that the american leader agreed to do that all right thanks for bring us right up to date for. that just distill aspect of this story ukraine's president. responds when asked whether he was pressured by donald trump to investigate joe biden. and then when the new film was a decision to do business. now many. of us need to go on the mend and. meet senior obama she's talking. we heard more from former u.s. diplomat jim just political commentator john william. i don't think the republicans in the senate would have just called for something and taken a hostile position to the president i mean

crippling student debt is expected to dominate the next round of democratic debates for the 2020 alexion or the year's graduates have had to take on a growing financial burden with the future looking bleak as artist and explains. the trade war slows and global growth and shaky afternoons on wall street have got financial outlets warning that a new recession or economic downturn could be on the horizon now that's bad news for everybody but for millennia the generation of americans born between 198119068 could be fatal meet dakota lily he's a senior at new school university entering his final semester this fall once he finishes and graduates he'll be out on his own facing economic circumstances much harsher than previous generations of americans if you look at these problems the fact that it's impacting almost every millennial it's not just a question of someone else it's a you know countrywide and even continent wide problem the conditions that our parents and our grandparents where they had good paying jobs right out of high school didn't even need to go to college get a trade school wha

and at the same time prevent a regional conflict from happening that would threaten him in the 2020 alexion says is that a major concern right now washington well certainly the concern is. you know on one side of the political divide you have the hawks who think that he's essentially caused all this by being too cautious on the other side you have some of his own supporters but also a lot of democrats who say he needs to be very cautious and continue essentially that path he's essentially maneuvered himself into a situation he can't really get out without looking bad for one of those it's actually and it's really his own problem and really he's caused that problem himself by drawing out of that deal drawing drawing out of the 2015 nuclear deal let's get some brief assessments to wrap it up suzanne what do you think will the president manage to of contain iran and at the same time avoid sparking a wider conflict absolutely has to because he doesn't have another choice ok the. so you're you're counting on him to do that ali what do you say well i think that we are in a i mean this situation i

it would definitely play into trump's hands it will do the democrats very little good in the 2020 alexion and probably will actually wind up backfiring virtually impossible if he could be convicted in the senate and removed from office so it's just a it's a lot of hot air over nothing now the problem for the democrats in removing donald trump is that according to the u.s. constitution once the proceedings begin it would be the u.s. senate that would then vote to convict and remove the president the constitution requires a 2 thirds vote among the senators and the democrats don't come anywhere near that so what would the charges be and all the most common answer you'll get is obstruction of justice but there's a little bit of a problem with that we did not however make a determination as to whether the president did commit a crime so obstructing an investigation into something that you did not do now you could certainly lock up an average joe for that but it's a pretty weak case for driving a president from office some democrats even think that it would be bad for the country to impeach don

democrats have got impeachment fever and the only cure is going to be reelected the president in the 2020 alexion they want to continue this which are trying to teach the president because they don't agree with the results of the 2016 election so what is the most important thing as you just mentioned don trump agreed to release the transcript of that conversation with mr selenski so i guess hopefully we can get more answers to the story that question is described as the perfect conversation or maybe it will be blown out the water later on today maybe come to nothing but obviously the got something that may or thanks for that we heard too from political commentator john williams and former u.s. diplomat jim jeffords to get their initial thoughts. i don't think the republicans in the senate would have just called for something and taken a hostile position to the president i mean look i held office 14 years i've had these conversations there was was definitely back channel discussions they're not going to do something to embarrass the president especially something that that is so groundbreaking is

the only cure is going to be reelected the president in the 2020 alexion they want to continue this which i try to teach the president because they don't agree with the results of the 2016 election this is a very complicated case allegations are very strong but i think this is very important not to fall into any like speculation mode until at least we see the transcript of that phone conversation between trump and later ms umansky and we know that they're american leader agreed to do that. while talking about vladimir zelinsky the ukrainian president gave a light hearted reply when asked whether he had indeed been put under pressure by cultural. and then you. know men in. the in on the men and these men to meet senior woman she's the. former us that much jim just tristen political commentator joan william ludden gave us their views on the case. i don't think the republicans in the senate would have just called for something and taken a hostile position to the president i mean look i held office 14 years i've had these conversations there was was definitely back channel discussions they're

ahead of the 2020 alexion pashley true. it was a very it was a job aren't home if it wasn't it was somewhere there's a labor xander earth. do not believe mexico's it will say ok let's let's impeach the president try. crime or believe. just now reading to now r.c. prison already. an essentially after hearing the national were is true around the issue of those who really aren't but those aren't in the narrow scope of unification to discuss adamy true us to cry on which our legal be. all and to do we need to investigate every band of. to lead the american people who were truckers and our and also to. the senate. if they want rich to continue to have growth there and not only are our offices out to where it was and they are ok if they are to branch. breaking the law. honestly trying to this sure of. the constitution but he does think i mean last time around we know from wiki leaks what hillary clinton did when he signed his campaign you think they're going to try that again even though of course clinton lost. and. only push. me

democrats have got impeachment fever and the only cure is going to be reelected the president in the 2020 alexion this is embarrassing that speaker pelosi continues this witch hunt for impeachment well here's what this whole thing is about the way the democrats put it and the democrats are saying that there's no evidence that while there's no evidence that the joe biden did anything wrong they are saying that it is inherently wrong for donald trump to. reach out like that to foreign leaders seeking on his potential on his potential political opponent and they're using that such strong words as for instance extortion but in my opinion this is extortion and this was either implicit or explicit extortion in plain sight now he's admitted to using his office to curse you know the country to interfere in 2020 i fully support the impeachment inquiry now essentially what the democrats are getting at is they're saying that this could be seen as political interference as foreign interference into u.s. presidential elections on behalf of a foreign state and now as for donald trump he has promised for once q

the conversation trump suggested that his counterpart investigate his most likely rival in the 2020 alexion joe biden and his son hunter over their business in ukraine apparently as vice president at the time biden senior might have blackmailed the previous ukrainian administration into closing a corruption investigation into a gas company his son had an executive role that i so you know i get the bill you know i will be leaving here i think it was about 6 hours or longer is there really are 6 hours to the prosecutors not fired you not get them early or son of a. you're fired trump seems to be in all sorts of trouble following pelosi is announcement is openly accused of extortion as well as of asking a foreign state to meddle in america's presidential election sounds familiar nobody knows for sure though what exactly trump's words were but the democrats put all their trust in that whistleblower expecting a bombshell collusion story and then trump releases the transcript. there's a lot of talk about biden son that biden stop the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so

moment and if it remains that way tanya i mean dare i ask are we looking at the possibility of a 3rd alexion in israel. well there could be that possibility in people i talked to today also said well maybe we go to a 3rd election but i think there is also you know the sense here that most people would like to avoid because that would mean another statement for a couple of months and we heard the. president with leading being quoted tonight that he wants to see. the party leaders soon because usually what happens and once the results of the preliminary results are being. published then the parties would be. commend their country who should form the next government and then there will be consultations with the president and he would then toss the person who would have most chances to firm such a question and i think that point you could say both parties likud and blue and white. or any guns could actually claim you know to get this mandate and. you've covered all of the elections in israel and if you compare what happened in april to what's happening right now is the situation different now is

coupled with the recent talk of looming recession more bad news for donald trump heading into the 2020 alexion let's talk about this with chris lew the former deputy secretary of labor during the obama administration he also served as the former white house cabinet secretary for president obama he is in washington d.c. chris welcome to the program matthew always a pleasure so let's jump right in is the u.s. manufacturing sector. for the 1st time in 3 years since in august so is this a cause for concern it absolutely is a cause and it needs to be looked at in the context of other economic data that has come out last week we saw that consumer confidence fell by the largest amount since december of 2012 and so when you have an economy where manufacturers are trying to deal with uncertainty from the trade war and perhaps aren't producing as many goods or not hiring as many people you have consumers that are possibly pulling back on their spending that's not a good recipe for economic success going down the road so is this are these new numbers a direct result of the u.s. china trade war or are the

decision that decided in the ballot box by the american public when they come to vote in the 2020 alexion but the democrats don't want a repeat of the miller inquiry they don't want something to drag on for months or even years so they are laser focused on what happened in this phone call and laser focus on asking as i said those very difficult questions of the trumpet ministration and the gallacher there live for us in washington d.c. thank you very much indeed. so to come in sports mercedes lewis hamilton tries to stop ferrari from winning a 4th race in a role he's off the brush in concrete coming up after this. to strengthen the good you have to shoulder good all the more with the come still fight against corruption. abuse for new chiro church heroes like new who are about to be refused a $50000000.00 bryan the achievement of heroes like him to showcase by the international ace award it shines a light on these heroes because the best way to fight the dark used to shine a light let's make the road to a better place nominate your anti corruption mirror. on counting the cost bodies' econo
