of independence in george square in glasgow.eorge square in glasgow. outside the square there is a counter demonstration by unionists who want to scotland to remain within the uk. nicola sturgeon has the awkward problem that she has to get westminster‘s permission to hold a referendum. boris johnson has westminster‘s permission to hold a referendum. borisjohnson has made clear that if he is prime minister he will block it. it is not clear if that would be a different response from jeremy corbyn who has said that he is certainly not hostile to the idea if that is what the scottish people want. he certainly won't stand in the way of it if that is their desire but that will be measured in the coming weeks and months. what nicola sturgeon is hoping for is a good performance in the westminster election. she would like to see what happened back in 2015 where the collapse of the conservative support in scotland. she believes that brexit is sufficiently unpopular for many scots and they will vote out conservative mps. we will see what t

we have the unionist partyjust outside george square and the pro—independence rally here in the square country. we have already heard from the snp mp and we think nicola sturgeon is due here in the next hour. as you said, she has said that independence is now within touching distance. independence is closer than ever according to nicola sturgeon. that is what she is likely to say when she gets up on that podium within an hour. she has also said that this election coming up on the 12th of december is likely to be one of the most important elections for scotland in modern times. what she has said, that she says that scotla nd she has said, that she says that scotland needs to have an independence referendum next year in 2020. she has pledged to the people that she will go to the government, the uk government, she does have to ask formally for the legislation to be able to have that referendum here in scotland. who knows who is going to be in ten downing st after the 12th of december. borisjohnson has said absolutely no to a referendum, jeremy corbyn has said that it is not desirable or n

the yes movement, gathered en masse in glasgow's george square this weekend, believe this election couldependent scotland, especially now the snp have put it at the very heart of their campaign. for everyone here who is impatient to see an independent scotland, they know this general election could be crucial. a good result for the snp will make it that bit harder for westminster to refuse to allow another independence referendum. so do you see this election essentially as a referendum on whether or not scotland should be allowed to have an independence referendum? that is certainly, you know, the big issue at the heart of this election in scotland. do we want our future determined for us by the likes of boris johnson, or do we want to take the future into our own hands and determine the path we take and the kind of country we want to be? the tories are looking to spread the same message. independence is a much easier topic for them than brexit in a marginal seat like 0chil in south perthshire. they love it every time nicola sturgeon talks about another referendum. what do you think? i t

the yes movement, gathered in glasgow's george square have one clear aim.xt step towards independence, especially now the snp have chosen to put it at the heart of their campaign. many people here are impatient to see an independent scotland. they know this general election could be crucial. a good result for the snp will make it that bit harder for westminster to refuse another westminster referendum. so, do you see this referendum is essentially about whether or not scotland should be able to have another independence referendum? that is certainly the big issue at the heart of this election. in scotland. do we want our future determined for us by the likes of boris johnson or, do you want to take our future into our own hands and determine the path we take and the kind of country we want to be? the tories are looking to spread the same message. independence is a much easier topic for them than brexit in a marginal seat like 0chil and south perthshire. they love it every time nicola sturgeon talks about another referendum. what do you think? i think, yippe

we went on to czechoslovakia with 800,000 people in the square. georgesaid something like czechoslovakia will be free and there was a roar like an express train and the building shook. , heywhere he went recognized he had to do things in a way that did not embarrass gorbachev. date, november 9 and we are sitting in the oval office. do president was there and i not remember if you were there. the press secretary comes in and see, you have to watch and what is on tv. walkinghe east berlin across the checkpoint without being shot. few, we more, the first were told came through whethersively to test the liberation and reforms that were taking place in the rest of eastern europe were going to be acceptable at the berlin wall. it seemed to be. they kept coming through more and more and it was clear that the berlin wall was no longer the berlin wall. the press -- the president realized that gorbachev was in a precarious position. thought the hardliners might take it as an excuse to stop what gorbachev was doing, so george bush responded in a very level way and

so george bush catalyzed that change in poland by having a lunch. we went on to czechoslovakia. 800,000 people in the square. when george bush said something like czechoslovakia be free, there was a roar like an express train and the building shook. everywhere he went, he recognized that he had to do things in a way that did not embarrass gorbachev. we come to this date, november 9, and we are sitting in the oval office. i do not remember if you were there. and the press secretary comes in and says, you have to watch in the room next to the oval office and see what is on tv. it is the east berlin people walking across the checkpoint without being shot. more and more, the first few, we were told came through apprehensively to test whether the liberation and reforms that were taking place in the rest of eastern europe were going to be acceptable at the berlin wall and it seemed to be. as they kept coming through more and more, it was clear that the berlin wall was no longer the berlin wall. of course, the president realized that she was in a precarious position. he did not want to gloat. he felt that the hard

so george is going to end up marrying up. he is not this square jaw st uffed shirt, he is not unapproachable, but he is the man that is going to keep himself in proper decorah -- decorum. i have referenced this to you several times about how he could not control his anger. he always had trouble controlling his anger. this particular episode happens during the constitutional convention. we will reference it again on gouverneur morris, a new yorker, a man of questionable virtue was drinking buddies with alexander hamilton. he was boasting that he could treat washington just like any other of his best friends. and morris and hamilton made a wager. hamilton said if morris could treat washington like any other friend in public, then hamilton would buy dinner and wine for morris and 12 of his friends. on the night in question, a public event, george washington as we know will become president of the constitutional convention and he was hosting an event that evening, and morris comes in. it was a public event, a big crowd. morris immediately reaches out

and right below me in times square of hundreds of thousands of people consistently against george bush in the war machine what happened was the barack obama effect and obama nation if you will a new face of imperialism. that was able to really cool so the whole liberal wing of the war movement folded and suddenly our marches when libya was destroyed. to smithereens and recall and and we marched here in times square and across the country our marches went from hundreds of thousands to maybe a 100 but honestly dozens and when we stood up to syria and imperialist dance for syria who would come into the streets for syria we had marches for bolivia and for venezuela but again in general the american public it's the last thing that they're thinking about it's the last thing that they're educated on so really there's a lot of work in front of us as popular educators to have these conversations that venezuela is not the enemy they cuba is not the enemy that our enemy is right here in washington d.c. on wall street so i don't want to project any type of cynicism but we have to get senior to hav

democrats here, george, are looking to focus squarely on the president's actions regarding ukraine.t out their own witness wish list that includes joe biden's son hunter and the anonymous whistle-blower who sparked the impeachment inquiry but democrats say those two witnesses are not likely to happen. >> that comes as the republicans are withholding other witnesses. thanks very much. >>> i'll anchor our coverage of the hearings with our political team starting wednesday at 10:00 a.m. eastern. >>> coming up, the search for answers after a 13-year-old broadway star's deadly asthma attack. dr. ashton is here with that. >>> and it's the biggest online shopping day around the world. how you can score big and, lara, what's going on upstairs? >>> all right, it is beginning to look a lot like christmas here in the studio and anna kendrick is with us. we also have a very merry audience. the merriest of all. right, guys?

he was not a square jawed sick shirt as this image showed. the george washington that we know, that historians have documented was a george washington who loves to have a good time, but when i told you about washington is that he believed there was the personal man and the public man and those people who had the personal relationship would not display that personal relationship in public. the private man had a public and you stayed outside of arms reach. this is a george washington who part,d playing the enjoyed cockfights, horse races, this is the george washington who loved to dance and it was reported that george was the best answer in all of virginia. this is the george washington who loved to hunt and fish, loved going to the theater. in fact, his favorite play was a tragedy. young, story of a selfless painter who sacrifices himself to the greater patriot cause. maybe washington felt he was that guy. also liked hamlet, julius this was the george washington who had an eye for the attractive women. in the 18th century, she was considered an attractiv

squared up to each other. sterling has tried to smooth over the incident at st george's park, saying, "we both understand it wasnd thing, it's done and we move forward and not make it bigger than it is." i think for something like this to happen away from the training ground is very unusual. it is quite the sensation, really, because of the nature of what happened. and because it involves raheem sterling who holds a real star status now with his club, manchester city, and with england as well. the fa moved swiftly with their statement, the move from gareth southgate to decide not to pick him on thursday, and of course team harmony has all been one of the great strengths of gareth southgate's time as england manager. this changes things. we will bring you that gareth southgate news conference at 3pm. staying with international football, and the scotland captain andy robertson is out of their final two qualifiers. the liverpool full—back will stay with the squad for the next few days but won't play away against cyprus on saturday and will miss the home game against kazakhstan next week. bournmouth‘s ryan fraser a

george: nespresso, what else? >>> for about a million people, tonight's the night. new year's eve in time square. crossed oceans to celebrate. for those who dreamt of the iconic ball drop, it's a key item on their bucket list. behind it all, there are over 10,000 officers from the nypd and the burden of responsibility to keep everyone safe. starting early in the morning, revelers begin to arrive and go through a series of checkpoints. >> no chairs. no tripods for the cameras. the earlier you show up, the better chance of scoring a good spot. what time did you get out here today? >> 8:00 a.m. >> come on. >> 7:00. >> you've been out here since 7:00? >> yeah. >> everybody has to go to the right. >> once you reach times square, the police corral everyone in steel pins where they have to stay until after the ball drops. what do you have to do if you have to go to the bathroom? >> nothing. >> some people wear diapers. >> that and a forecast of heavy rain isn't stopping them. >> at least it's not cold. a little rain maybe. >> how are you doing? it's raining. it's cold and there is still hours before mid

her home on that, maybe they will get a ticker upon times square and show how much it's costing the american people. >> bret: at one point george kent testified today that he thought there should be an investigation into burisma and what was happening all throughout that. we have judge can start with us. people were questioning whether he got to but it seem like jim jordan and steve ratcliffe hit at home as far as our questioning. >> the members were very strong. the members acquitted themselves externally well. the quality of the questioning was extreme lehigh. -- extremely high, for the most part. the republicans not only are rock-solid. that means if this trend continues. there is no hope for impeachme impeachment. in the senate. to me, this was something that was very telling. no crime was proven today. there were a lot of terms used. extortion and bribery but no crime. >> bret: juan williams is joining us. we should point out adam schiff's reconvening. they will take a vote on a motion by a republican on the committee. they're not going to take anymore testimony today. your thoughts on the five and half hours we witnessed?

let's put it this way. 1991 tiananmen square, bill clinton ran against george h.w.ling of the butchers of beijing. if the president were to make any kind of less than optimum agreement with china, his political opponents would accuse him of coddling the beijing regime. you would see people like chuck schumer and democrats, maybe not michael bloomberg who insists that xi jinping is not a dictator, but other than dead enders like that, there's a huge awareness now that the chinese communist party poses a threat to america and our way of life. here we are talking today on veterans day, that war, world war i, was fought to make the world safe for democracy. going along with china and allowing them to do what they're doing in hong kong does not make the world safe for democracy. stuart: you are suggesting the events in hong kong, especially overnight, the shooting of someone in the street, would push president trump into a more hard line, to maintain his hard line? >> it makes it politically difficult. politically difficult to appease china, basically. stuart: okay. is c

squarely on that phone call with the ukrainian leader. they will insist there was no pressure, and there was no conditional arrangement, but george, democrats and witnesses will say that phone call is just part of this story. >> mary, you could see some delays in the proceedings this morning? >> reporter: george, we are preparing for republicans to start off this morning, but with a little bit of some thee yatri. they are preparing just down the hall, and we know republicans want to hammer away at their demands from the anonymous whistle-blower who sparked this impeachment inquiry. democrats of course, have argued that's redundant and unnecessary given what we now know from the other key witnesses. you are likely to see a little bit of politics to say the least at play here this morning. >> it's a political event, no question. jon karl at the white house. we have seen multiple attacks by the president on the whistle-blower saying he gave a false report even though the whistle-blower's original report has been corroborated by so many witnesses going before the committee. what do we expect from the president and his team today? >> reporter: w

taylor or george kent had direct conversations with the president but nevertheless democrats believe further witnesses will help corroborate their testimony today and also point the finger squarely at the president. >> these public hearings only just beginning. they'll continue on friday and then next week. a lot more witnesses will show up. manu, stand by. we're going to get back to you. want to dig deeper into all of the historic developments unfolding. our correspondents and analysts are with us. house democrats think the testimony bolstered their case for impeachment. what do you think? >> well, look, unfortunately for americans who are genuinely looking for -- for answers and for questions from both sides that go down the middle and that are not political, they didn't get it from the republicans today. they just didn't. republicans went in and they were extremely transparent in what they were going to do. they were going in to chip away at the credibility, not of the witnesses but of the witnesses' arg which is they believe the president of the united states was undermining u.s. policy by trying to further his own political agenda and the way that republicans tried to do th

george kent, a top state department official. democrats were able to keep them pretty squarely focused on the issues of political pressure on ukraineid and the potential implications for national security. >> our holding up of security systems that would go to a country that is fight iing aggression from russia for no good policy reason, no good substantive reason, no good national security reason, is wrong. >> reporter: republicans on the other hand, they kept trying to change the subject they brought up the mueller report they brought up hunter biden they talked about the fact that ukraine has received military aid in the past and continues to do so, and they also called on democrats to allow the whistle-blower to testify, but guys, so far, democrats have not agreed to any of the witness requests that republicans have put insofar. back over to you. >> thank you very much, ylan appreciate that. with 22 minutes left before the closing bell, let get over to mike santoli for his second dashboard now. gallop away. >> one of the four horsemen, the nasdaq is going to be reporting earnings today for those of us who have been around a whi

george. the new york city marathon was not without controversy. after this herculean feat some are squaredhese fancy kicks right here and if they give elite runners a leg up to run even faster. the question of whether technology is beating out athleticism is an issue critics have picked up and they're running with it. 2:08:13, that's all it took for geoffrey kamworor of kenya to 26.2 mile run through new york city's five boroughs. after averaging less than five minutes a mile he seemed to effortlessly flash a megawatt smile. and equally as bright, his footwear. after burning up the streets his sneakers are coming under fire. kamworor, other front runners and amateur athletes were seen sporting these nike vaporfly sneakers which are made with a mixture of foam and carbon fiber plates shaped like a spoon, designed to catapult runners forward and reduce the amount of energy needed to do so. >> it's all out or nothing. >> reporter: the sneakers were developed as part of a project to run the world's first marathon in under two hours, and a "new york times" study found that even amateur runners
