more proceedings this week after the house judiciary committee send two articles to the house floor, alleging obstruction of congress. the full house of representativess expected to vote on wednesday. a yes vot was make mr. trump the third president in u.s. history to be im peopled and then he would face a senate trial in the next you. >> socks of his allies say, less is more. >>> well, i tell the president somebodies ready to quit, you have to get out of the way. >> that is how we go forward. i'll talk to the president's lawyers so there won't be any difference than us how to do this. >> the aide plan to continue meeting with mitch mcconnell and how to provide. lawmakers are objecting to that. >>> >>> a new missile test. north korea leader standing at the launch site friday. other photos show flames coming out of a rocket engine. this happened at the testing ground thaty s officials claim the north promised to close. the report describes a successful test of great significance. >>> new this morning, a powerful earthquake truck the philippines today. three people are confirmed day. according to the survey the 6.8 mac tude quake had its opinion py cen

the articles of impeachment have been laid by the democrats, a series of votes on these articles. one alleges an abuse of power and the other an obstruction of congress. if the house of representatives thursday, we could be looking at the president going on trial in the us senate in january. for the reaction on that in a few moments on the programme. hello there. bitterly cold conditions across much of central canada and northern plains of the united states and the next few days. but this weather front will bring some heavy rains and eastern parts of the united states with milder southeast release but, bitterly cold canadian arctic air will continue to sink southwards in these for three can see the deep blues across the canadian prairies of temperatures as low as —20 celsius by day. but at court and will be pushing into the weather front on tuesday and wednesday to the back edge of it increasingly into snow but also freezing what rain with various to the deep south up to tennessee could be affected by this on tuesday wednesday but the travel disruption. snow developing on the back edge of that with the cold air around —19 degrees in winnipeg it will be very cold for the foreseeable

the central point of our democracy, a free and fair election, not disruptive by foreign powers. and our founders were very concerned about that. and in their wisdom, they gave congress, the house of representatives, the opportunity -- not the opportunity because i don't see it that way, but the path to correcting that as impeachment. this is not with any speed. this has been going on for a very long time, but there is a sense of urgency. once we saw the facts presented in the hearing with the foreign service officers, facts made known to the public, some of us had seen them before. the facts made known the constitution as presented by the constitutional experts, and the facts in the constitution, there it is. and so, again, we do this with great sadness, prayerfully, somberly. it's about the constitution of the united states, and if we allow one president, any president, no matter who she or had he may be, to go down this path, we are saying goodbye to the republic and hello to a president king. that is what is at stake in this election and this impeachment as well. and when we come to the election, people say, well, you did this, you did that. i say that's not what impeachment is about. if you

the third us president in history to be impeached. impeachment is when charges of wrongdoing are brought against a president by the lower chamber of the us congress, known as the house of representativesy to investigate his political rival joe biden. but being impeached does not neccesarily mean he will be removed from office. for that to happen, the senate would have to convict the president after a trial. two presidents, bill clinton and andrewjohnson, have been impeached before, but none have ever been kicked out of the white house. in order to remove president trump, two thirds of senators would have to vote in favour at the trial next month, which is unlikely to happen. the president has called the process a witch hunt. political analyst eric ham joins us now from washington. eric, good to see you this morning. so what do you make of this? the impeachment that lots of people have been talking about has finally happened. it has, and it went pretty much along party lines, like we thought that it would. and now the question is will these articles of impeachment actually get over to the senate? we heard from the speaker, nancy pelosi, tonight saying that she is not so quick to actual

of congress. a few short answers, if you will and them will get to the bigger point. obstruction of congress? really? are we talking about the entire congress or the democrats in the house of representativesnate is part of the congress so it's not even technically accurate to say obstruction of congress. that said, when the president challenges a subpoena for a witness or documents, a former judge and he goes to court to work out this complex dispute, separation of powers between article one and article two and they go to an article three court, how can that be obstruction of justice or obstruction of powers. >> it certainly is not obstruction of justice because the president was essentially saying, let's go to the article three branch, that is our system and we all know that. they have chosen the house majority has chosen, well, that's gonna take too long and were in a hurry so, i don't think at all that anyone seriously suggesting it's an obstruction of justice other than rhetoric. it shouldn't be viewed as obstruction of congress either unless congress just has come again, unchecked power and a system that so rich with checks and balances as we learned in school. okay we have a disagre

the form of liberty. the very next sentence, starts article one, all legislative power is vested in the congress of the united states. the senate and, the house of representative see what just happened there? the sovereign political power of the people of america, flow from the active constitution making into the congress of the united states. and then you get 37 paragraphs laying out all the powers of congress, the power of appropriation and spending, the power to regulate congress, the power to declare war the, power to the seat of government, the power of recovering. on a non. in clause 18 to have all the other powers necessary to the enforcement and execution of the foregoing. powers and then an article to you, get to the president, remembered articles of confederation and we don't even have a president. so we wanted to create something that would show executive energy to execute our laws, that was the law the job. to faithfully execute, to be the commander-in-chief of the army neighbor navy in times of insurrection. that's the core of what the jar job is. and in section four article two is all about impeachment. in order to make sure a president doesn't b

the house judiciary committee has voted articles of impeachment against the president for abuse of power. and obstruction of congress a vote to officially of ph trump is expected next week in the house of representatives he'll become just the 3rd president in u.s. history to be impeached trump was visibly angry following approval of the charges against him lashing out at those he believes have done him wrong like the woman overseeing the impeachment house speaker nancy pelosi is a liar and others a dishonest fake media tolerable f.b.i. people crooked hillary a fighting mood morphing into strategy spotted on the white house campus on friday trucks personal attorney and ally rudolph giuliani it's a signal trump is pushing to call witnesses and expand the impeachment process he says has been politically biased against him even as the republican leader mitch mcconnell is pushing for a swift trial in the senate i think they're giving the signal that this is really just a show trial that senator mcconnell knows where the votes are and knows how this is going to come out and he wants to have a very short proceeding so that they can move past this quickly but for in a tory asli thinskinned president the perso

that the congress, the house of representatives, had enough votes to say that his actions were an abuse of his office. and this is a process that has been since the founding of the country. and we really just saw it actually play out today. and i think it is worth pausing and acknowledging how remarkable that is for our democracy. >> yeah. i couldn't agree more. in terms of what pelosi will do, i don't know enough about the procedures and how it works. it just strikes me, if mcconnell wanted to, he could say leave him there. we won't do a trial and we'll just pass a resolution. we'll say that he's innocent, right? so what donald trump wants, he wants to be able to say, i was acquitted. i was acquitted by the senate. so mcconnell probably can find another way to do that. and democrats have wanted to have a trial. so my expectation is that she'll probably end up sending them over. >> paul? >> only two in history and i've been through one of them and in both, there were witnesses. we've never had a trial of a president without witnesses. so senator schumer made the first move. we want four

of the headlines 2 impeachment charges against us president donald trump have been approved by the house of representatives judiciary committee the charges of a piece of power and obstruction of congress will now be voted on unlikely approved by the full house next week but president thomas hit back calling the process a sham and also saying he wouldn't mind if the trial dragged on once approved the charges relating to trump electric pressure on the leader of ukraine will then go to the senate for trial. it's a witch hunt it's a sham it's a hoax nothing was done wrong 0 was done wrong i think it's a horrible thing to be using the tool of impeachment which is supposed to be used in an emergency and it would seem many many many years apart to be using this for a perfect phone call where the president of that country said there was no pressure whatsoever didn't even know what we were talking about it was perfect the relationship is perfect i've done much more for them than obama did for them it's a scam it's something that shouldn't be allowed. boris johnson says britain needs to start healing the bricks it divide after winning the country's general election its conservative party want t

impeachment against president donald john trump, one for abuse of power and the other for obstruction of congress. the full house of representatives could vote on the articles next week after they are voted upon and sent to the floor of the house by the house judiciary committee. that committee vote could happen as early as thursday of this week. democrats alleged that president trump abused the power of his office by pushing a foreign government, the ukrainians, to interfere in the 2020 election. and then they say the president stonewalled congress from conducting proper oversight. the response from the president and his allies has large by been to dispute empirical facts, to muddle the truth with half truths and confusion, to lie, to put party unity above the obviously answer to a question, is it okay for a president to ask a foreign nation to investigate a political rival. alex marquardt said the vote is expected to fall largely among partisan lines. >> good morning, everyone. >> reporter: a solemn day. speaker nancy pelosi called it as the democratic leadership announced for the fourth time in american history articles of impe

the impeachment of the president. yes, there was that for abuse of power, obstruction of congress, in the house of representatives, and make no mistake, impeachment was of course front and center in tonight's debate. >> it was a constitution necessity for the house to act as it did, and you know, trump's response to suggest that only half of the american people want to see him thrown out of office now i find is dumbing down the presidency beyond what i even thought he would do. >> certainly i disagree with trump on virtually all of his policies but what i think conservatives i think understand is that we cannot have a president with that temperament who is dishonoring the presidency of the united states. >> we have seen the impact of corruption, and that's what's clearly on the stage in 2020 is how we are going to run against the most corrupt president in living history. >> i would make this case, as we face this trial in the senate, if the president claims that he is so innocent, then why doesn't he have all the president's men testify. richard nixon had his top people testify testify. >> the president left the house

so very you saw nancy pelosi the speaker of the house of representatives of course the lower house of the u.s. congress there announcing that she indeed is prepared now to draw our papers for the impeachment of president donald trump quite a moment in this process that we've been witnessing highly jocasta is our correspondent who's been watching this with us from from the very start so this is a moment isn't it heidi which signifies a new phase to this whole process. that's right it is a moment but it wasn't a requirement martine which is kind of what's puzzling about this yes this is significant you just heard the speaker of the house say that she wants articles of impeachment to be drafted by the house judiciary committee well the thing is they were going to do that anyway and in fact there's no requirement for the house speaker to direct that committee to take any sort of action so really what this makes me think is this is a part of the fight for the opinions of the american people to crowd to put some context into the hearings that we heard from yesterday in this continued battle between republica

the impeachment of the president. yes, there was that for abuse of power, obstruction of congress, in the house of representatives, andake no mistake, impeachment was of course front and center in tonight's debate. >> it was a constitution necessity for the house to act as it did, and you know, trump's response

arriving in michigan this ening on the night that he was impeached in the house of representatives abuse of power and obstruction of congress the 2 articles members of the house spent all day debating the vote they just cast their votes in joining us now on this historic night. >>as the host of inside barrier polics. catherine heenn not a surprise at l, but in washington things don't have to be a surprise to the historic know and they certainly stripped of any real suspense, but it was still dramatic it was still a sight to behold and it is offial. >>about 3 from unching an impeachment inquiry, members of the house of voted to impeach president trump members on the floor they debated for many hours today, bating table thumping as someby put itthe president facing 2 ticles of impeachment, one alleng abuse by the bypower of the resident when he ask ukraine to inveigate his political rival head of the 2020 election. and then obstruction of congress and yes, both of tho past president trump now becoming again just the 3rd president ever to be impeached by e house. democrats of course argue that they have defended the constituti

coordination with the white house counsel's office and the people who are representing the president isn't the well of the senate. >> let's bring back our experts to discuss. dana, you've covered congresse. there are 435 voting seats in the house of representatives. a couple of absent seats. instead of 218 majority you need to pass, i think right now you need 216 in order to pass both of these articles of impeachment against the president of the united states. there's a little doubt that the democrats have the vote, even if a few democrats decide to bolt. >> nancy pelosi has a enough of a majority that she has some wiggle room. she can, you know, free some of the moderates to vote against the articles of impeachment, if they feel that is best for them in their conscience and if it's best for them in their districts, because so many of them come from districts that voted for trump overwhelmingly. and you really are going to see over the next. weekend, so much discussion between those motors, their families, with their constituents, with their advisers about what to do. as you all know, historically, the articles don't always line up as we saw in this committee vote. sometimes they're ve

the impeachment of the president. yes, there was that for abuse of power, obstruction of congress in the house of representatives.e no mistake impeachment was, of course, front and center in tonight's debate. >> it's a constitutional

subject to potential impeachment if they do not bow to the will of the majority of the house of representatives. first of all, obstruction of congressthey say, right? has the senate done anything yet? so how is it obstruction of congress? it's obstruction of a rogue faction of radical democrats of the house of represented in spirit when they won the majority, they ran for impeachment. the president of the united states has no obligation to them. abuse of power, they talk about. when the president of united states like every past president even since george washington has fought to protect the office of the presidency against a congress that is out of control, that demands the innermost information from his innermost witnesses, individuals who report to him. he goes to court and they say that's obstruction. let me tell you something: every past president who will be subject to impeachment under the current articles being debated under the house of representatives, john adams would be impeached. he shut down newspapers and imprisoned reporters but abraham lincoln would be impeached. he shut down 300 newspapers. he imprisoned reporters

the day i got elected. i've been going through this for three years. being impeached is when charges of wrongdoing are brought against a president by the lower chamber of the us congress, called the house of representativesf representatives is moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry. being impeached does not mean being removed from office, though. that's a common mistake. for that to happen, the upper chamber of congress, the senate, would have to convict the president after a trial. two presidents have been impeached before, but none have ever been removed from the white house. this could be what happens to trump if he is impeached in the lower chamber of congress, which is controlled by democrats, but not convicted in the upper chamber, which is controlled by trump's own republican party. it all centres on whether trump sought help from ukraine to boost his chances of re—election in the 2020 presidential election. how? by pressuring ukraine's president to investigate one of his main democratic challengers, joe biden and his son, hunter. hunter was on the board of a ukrainian company when his dad was us vice—president. you might have heard a lot about a whistle—blower reporting a phone call

of news events that you can describe in those terms. this is the ultimate sanction that congress, that the house of representatives is given the sole power to apply to a president. and it has only happened three times. i spent time today from my column just looking back at those prior impeachments, andrew johnson, bill clinton. both of those in their day were seen as -- were controversial, seen as partisan. yet neither has been erased. neither will ever be erased. so, this is the definition of history. when school children learn about the constitution 100 years from now and learn how it works and the checks and balances and the three branches of government, they'll learn about the donald trump impeachment, however it comes out. >> i wonder about that because, you know, we think about how we evolve as a country, what we decide we want to put on a pedestal, what merits a statue should come down. there are a lot of people oppose making a martin luther king holiday precisely because they feared, i think, one of the positive developments in american life, that we do try to raise boys and girls to look at martin luther king not as a mixed stor
