every day since, mr. trump has revealed new depths to his incompetence, his corruption and his cruelty. the threat he poses to the american people has only grown. now the impeachment question has reached an inflection. therefore, i will be dedicating 100 percent of my time, effort and resources to one cause. working for his impeachment and removal from office. i am not running for president at this time. instead, i'm strengthening my commitment to "need to impeach" in 2019 until the house start impeachment proceedings were mr. trump resigns. that is how we will define success. today, i am announcing this following action. with more to come in the near future. we will be holding town halls across the country. including three more this month in nevada, new hampshire and washington d.c.. we will host and organizing some in the nations capital. to further detail our plans. we will be launching a public education campaign to deepen americans understanding of mr. trump 's impeachable offense. we will be organizing a

well, it is kind of counter to what mrtrump has said well, it is kind of counter to what mr trump has, so ican imagine mr trump has said he wants to do, so i can imagine there is lots of discussions of this sort, to do with what would be best for the economy, which is counter to what mr trump says, and that is probably why they are distancing themselves. it would be interesting to know what happens to the people named here once this headline hits, because again, there isa headline hits, because again, there is a slight revolving door for those who do not please the president. is a slight revolving door for those who do not please the presidentlj am who do not please the president.” am not sure it could go any faster, could it? it would be going off its wheels if it goes any faster over washington. but yes, you are right. it is very difficult to know, to separate fact from fiction when it comes to washington these days. and with the shutdown, and the wall debate going on, we can see that mr trump is very keen to stick to the promises he made during his campaign. andi promises he made d

so it's inexplicable why mr. trump did not allow his national security adviser and secretary of state in that meeting. clearly he was trying to keep something from them. what was he concealing and what did mr. putin come away with from that conversation? so, you know, intelligence agencies do not collect against the president of the united states or u.s. officials, but we do have this need to understand how the russians are going to take advantage of whatever mr. trump might have said. >> and so this is the strange presidency where he actually does these things on tv. and during the campaign, he asked the russians to steal hillary clinton's e-mail and provide them in effect to the trump campaign or to leak them to the american public. because he did it on tv, the republicans' defense was, oh, it's a joke. i want to look at another piece of video. there is no sound to this. this is vladimir putin and donald trump. they're at the g-20 dinner in germany. and trump is highlighted there on one part of the screen. putin's do

the u.s., mr. trump, has complaints of wto practices and, of course, wto has many problems, and together with the u.s. it's very fortunate that mr. lightheiser does support wto reform. and japan, the eu and the u.s. have been supporting wto reform. another important pillar of japanese trade strategy is to convince china to return to reform an open policy which was successful but which was recently reversed through a small closed nature. and to shift away from the so-called state capitalism model to a truly market-oriented open economy development model. and also implementing several major ftas has been very important. that's why he wanted -- mr. abe wanted to revive tpp after mr. trump's withdrawal. now the data in the table a bit old, but even though japan has been integrating with many other asian countries in terms of people's movement, trade, foreign direct investment through all of china, for that matter, has become very important. and economic relationship with our okay continues to be very importa

fbi investigated whether mr. trump was secretly working on behalf of russia. >> no, there certainly hasn't been any reaction here in moskow so far. something that came out over the weekend. we are expecting at the earliest you might get any reaction from the russian government, probably not even from the kremlin itself is when political talk shows might pick up on it. so far the russian government has been saying the whole question of russian election meddling, of russia meddling on behalf of president trump is something that is absurd. vladimir putin of course himself has said that, yes, he did want president trump to win the election in 2016 because he heard president trump saying things that are positive about the relationship between russia and the united states. but for president trump to be an asset, that's certainly something i think the russian government would shoot down. if you look at russian political talk shows and other russian politicians they do believe some of the things the trump administration has be

mr trump is said the new killer is the is positive, they said, not so fast. seeing this discrepancy about the intelligence chiefs and what donald trump says? because donald trump doesn't trust his intelligence chiefs, never has done. two years ago you were able to save these were leftovers of the obama administration, representatives of the deep state, but these are his appointments. these are of the republicans that he trusts to run the cia, fbi and national intelligence. they didn't mention his policies, but one by one they demolished his position on north korea, they questioned his position on iran and questioned his position on iran and questioned his position on isis. for all of those reasons, most intelligence chiefs are out in the polar vortex for the rest of the day. one thing they didn't talk about is a national security threat was the border with mexico. in some ways, that was the most significant. donald trump has always taken a much more benign view on what russia is up more benign view on what russia is up to than his intelligence chiefs, but the

china is beating mr trump to the post and holding a meeting with north korean leader kim jong—un. lebrating his 35th birthday — and his visit is being widely covered by chinese state media. john sudworth reports from beijing. it was quite a sendoff. kim jong—un and his wife were shown boarding their bullet—proof train in pyeongchang, accompanied by the usual adoring state media commentary. they arrived in beijing on mr kim's birthday. china is unlikely to give him any unpleasant surprises. china would certainly encourage north korea to give up nuclear weapons, but not necessary to push north korea into a corner. why? because china believes if the pressure is too high, that will be counter—productive. the us has no such qualms, so kim jong—un's fourth visit to china sends a message. it underlines the strength of the bond and shows that if the nuclear diplomacy with america fails, he has other options. preparations are now under way for a second trump—kim summit. mr kim has so far made few real concessions. north korea has long used its nuclear weapons to play the big powers off agai

on day 20 of the us government shutdown, mr trump touches down in texas — insisting he won't accept any for a border wall. ten years after a landmark speech in cairo by barack 0bama, mr trump's secretary of state is there with a speech of his own and pretty blunt criticism of the previous president. the age of self—inflicted american shame is over and so are the policies that produced so much needless suffering. also on the programme.

the rhetoric has changed since mr trump made his announcement. coming home. now his advisers are saying that we have not completely defeated the islamic state group. it isa defeated the islamic state group. it is a position they held all along and they are repeating it. yes, we will pull out, as the president said, but it will be a slower withdrawal and done in a way that makes sure he does not give an advantage to islamic state group and also to countries like iran and russia. they have been trying to roll it back a bit and slow it down and mrtrump himself roll it back a bit and slow it down and mr trump himself has said, we need to take these things into consideration, rowing back as well. there has been a lot of confusion about the plan because it seems like mr trump's team about the plan because it seems like mrtrump's team are about the plan because it seems like mr trump's team are scrambling to respond to his abrupt and unilateral move in december and that is not fill them with a lot of confidence either. thank you very much. three skiers
