this hour i'll talk to chairman elliott engel. his staffers were inside the briefing. our correspondents and analysts are also standing by. first let's go to our chief white house correspondent, jim acosta. jim, the president is going to new extremes as he lashes out about the impeachment investigation. >> reporter: wolf, it looked like a temper tantrum inside the white house as president trump angrily denied any wrongdoing during his phone call with ukraine's president. he went after adam schiff accusing him without any evidence of helping to write the whistle-blower complaint. the press conference went off the rails when the president was asked why he was talking about joe biden when the leader of ukraine. sounding like a man backed into a corner, the president railed against the whistle-blower whose complaint about mr. trump's phone call with the leader of ukraine sparked the impeachment inquiry. >> if you look at this whistle-blower's -- which i have a lot of respect for whistle-blowers, but only when they're real. his report of the phone call was totally different

elliott wanted them to unload it at some point.t & t is they don't want to sell it, okay. they want to control it still. there is a middle ground offered by bankers, and this is a story that we talked about earlier, weeks ago. it is reemerging now, i think it's one of the reasons why the stock is up, to be honest with you. it's a plan by apollo management, the big private equity firm which has pitched at & t essentially to take directv, spin it out, you get some cash for that, not gazillions they spent for it, but some cash, spin it out and in this separate company, merge it with dish. that's how you do it. so what happens at that point? liz: would regulators say yes to that? >> possibly. possibly. this is a regulatory justice department that approves sprint/t-mobile so maybe this would work. this is not a business that is thriving, satellite distribution of television programming. we're not talking about a hugely competitive market here. two players. but not a lot of people -- people are dropping these things for a lot of reasons.

elliott kipchoge storms into the history books in vienna. he made history becoming the first man to run a marathon in under two hours. we'll speak to eliud kipchoge after 8am. it's sunday the 13th of october. good morning. our top story: the wife of a us diplomat who was involved in a car crash that killed the british teenager harry dunn says she's been left devastated by the accident. last night, the foreign office revealed that anne sacoolas no longer has diplomatic immunity because she's now back in the united states. harry's parents, who've been campaigning for her return to the uk, are due to fly to washington later. simon jones has more. they've ta ken their fight forjustice to the foreign office in london, and now harry dunn's parents are flying to the us. they say ever since harry's death, they've been trapped in a nightmare. he was killed on this road, hit by a car believed to be driven by anne sacoolas, the wife of a us diplomat. she returned home shortly afterwards, claiming diplomatic immunity. now she's broken her silence. a sta

representative robert elliott. >> there are rights that are confirmed upon us by the united states andconferred to us by the state of which we are individually the citizens. the 14th amendment does not prevent a state to deny to all its citizens any of the rights the state itself confirmed. when it does for is inequality and discrimination, or to use the words of the amendment, the denial to any person within the jurisdiction the equal protection of the law. the passage of this bill would determine the civil status of the negro and any class of citizens that may feel themselves discriminated against. the motive that compels is as broad as the constitution. i advocate because it is right. >> 1875. >> philadelphia. >> what we need today is the onward march of humanity. it is a public sentiment in favor of common justice and mercy. inviting you to this work, i do not promise you unclouded skies. you may meet coolness where you expect empathy, disappointment where you expect success. isolation and loneliness instead of support and cooperation. but a life in harmony with god, sympathy for m

and i've listened to quite a lot of elliott guczoghy -- eliud to quite a lot of elliott guczoghy —— eliud sets them apart is the amount of drive and ambition he has got. and this tag line about humans not being limited, no limits, it is really inspiring. what difference does it make that this is not a race? i don't think it makes a huge difference for him. the point is he is trying to make history and he is trying to prove the fact there are no limits to what the human body can do and as you rightly said, charlie, few years ago it would have been almost beyond the realms of what we can believe to think someone could run this distance in less than two hours so goodness knows where we will be in the next decade, may be one hour and 50? who knows. we will leave you with those images. a lot of people have turned out to watch history in the making if it turns out that way, the green lines show whether he is on time. if they are on schedule, and my right to say it is 14 —— 9:14am? and they are on schedule. when they are falling behind, that line falls red. if they are on track, it stays green.
