and notwithstanding the reports of frictions between the two brothers and their wives now, just putting place. this once again it relocates the monarchy, or at least parts of it in a place that it hoped it had moved on. this is... we have already seen calls whether the monarchy should be slimmed down, eve ryo ne monarchy should be slimmed down, everyone being a working royal. but let‘s show the daily express, the queen has barked prince andrew —— backed. there were questions about what the queen knew and when. yesterday‘s paper, which came out last evening, was suggesting she wasn‘t as aware of the interview and situation, but the daily express says she isn‘t. i think the palace is going to try to protect itself, but for accountability in 2019, i don‘t think these allegations are going away. it's one thing to do an interview and another to give your approval for that interview, but then for it to be conducted as haplessly, which is a universal view, it he doesn't hold it, but pretty much everyone else does, as that was. i mean, his complete lack of preparation. he answered everything, t

notwithstanding what the president and others were told about her dedication to the country. her commitment to fighting corruption was part of the reason why she was pushed out. pushing her out made it possible to put in the three amigos to conduct ukraine policy. there were any doubt about why she was pushed out, i think the call record illuminates that doubt. -- eliminates that doubt. the president associated his bias in favor of this corrupt prosecutor with the need to push out marie yovanovitch, with the need to move forward with the investigation he wanted of his political rival. the u.s. ambassador would be so shamefully smeared and cast aside to further this corrupt effort just as further insult to the injury done to the country, to our national security. thank you. reporter: what are the expectations for next week? it would be the last public hearing your committee will hear. >> as you have seen, we have combined witnesses from time to time in different panels. depending on how long within the testimony may go. we also try to accommodate schedules, but the witnesses a

the announcement notwithstanding. they did confirm the hold on security systems for ukraine came from chief of staff mick mulvaney who maintains a skeptical view of ukraine. call, it gaveone me an account of a july 10 meeting with ukrainian and american officials at the white house. they told me that ambassador song wind had connected investigations with an oval office meeting for present zelensky -- president zelensky which so irritated john bolton he abruptly ended the meeting, saying they should have nothing to do with the mystic politics. he directed -- domestic politics. dr. hill set a bester bolton referred to the deal as a drug deal. bolton ambassador referred to the deal as a drug deal. there were concerns it would be a disaster. needless to say, the ukrainians were confused. and theor bolton regular policy decision-making channels wanted to talk about security, energy, and reform. sound wanted to talk about the connection between a white house meeting and in cranium -- ukrainian investigations. dr. hill infor

you have shown the courage to come forward today and testify, notwithstanding the fact you were urgedct that, as you testified earlier, the president implicitly threatened you in that call record. and now the president, in real—time, is attacking you. what effect do you think that has on other witnesses' willingness to come forward and expose wrongdoing? well, it is very intimidating. it's designed to intimidate, is it not? i mean, i can't speak to what the president is trying to do, but i think the effect is to be intimidating. of course, one of the effect that might have is that it might add another charge to the list of charges the democrats want to vote on in the house of representatives in order to try to impeach the president. wright fascinating, for now, thank you very much, gary. heavy rainfall has brought further misery to flood—hit communities — there are just under 100 flood warnings currently in place in parts of england and wales. the wet weather has caused more travel distruption on roads and railways. phil mackie reports from evesham in worcestershire. firefighters in e

i should tell you that notwithstanding those that have complained about lack of access to the depositions, most of the members who have been permitted to attend have failed to attend, have not made use of the ability of attending each and every deposition. but those that have on both sides of the aisle have had the opportunity to question witnesses and when we move in to open session, both parties will have the opportunity to question any witnesses that are called. the resolution will also permit the chair to release, begin releasing the transcripts of the depositions and i think you will see when those are released just what equal opportunity members of both parties have had. we recognize the seriousness of this undertaking. we recognize that we have been compelled by the circumstances to move forward. when a president abuses his or her office, when a president sacrifices the national interest, when a president refuses to defend the constitution and does so for the purpose of advancing a personal or political agenda, the founders provided the remedy. i make no pre-judgment as to whether

notwithstanding the fact you were urged by the white house or state department not to, notwithstanding the fact that as you testified earlier, the president implicitly threatened you in that call record. and now the president in realtime is attacking you. what affect do you think that has on other witness' and expose wrongdoing? >> well, it's very intimidating. >> it's designed to intimidate, is it not? >> i mean, i can't speak to what the president is trying to do but i think the effect is to be intimidating. >> so the president of the united states attacks a 33-year vet on of the foreign service, a former ambassador to ukraine on twitter. he's insulting and intimidating a witness during his impeachment inquiry, and he does this while his political advisor is about to be found guilty of witness tampering. now, if you cover as a reporter political corruption outside of this context, if you cover mayors or complaint governors, there's kind of a similar pattern that happens, right? you learn the way they go down is first their lower level associates get indicted and it's front page news.

steepener, i find that difficult to believe when you just look at the oil price and the base effect, notwithstandinghe end of december. it seems like unless we have a massive oil rally, it will struggle to make any headway. expecting inflationary steepening of the curve but we've seen recently with bond markets, it doesn't take much of a push upwards to see the curve getting dragged steeper in a bearish environment. lisa: a pretty nuanced take, we are looking at potentially a steeper yield curve but don't get too excited. is that your take? >> i think it's basically as james said. you have a two-year part of occurred -- of the curve that is effectively anchored. cuts priced in over the next year or so. the fed has essentially told us they will be on hold which means it will be bounced around, but what about the 10 year? it feels like we are so reliant on the outcome of trade. if we are in an environment where you do get tariffs added in mid december, i think the reality is you will see the lows in yield for the year for the 10 year, which will be a curve flattening. the flipside is if we get a rollb

notwithstanding the fact you were urged by the white house or state department not to. notwithstanding the fact that as you testified earlier the president implicitly threatened you in that call record and now the president in realtime is attacking you. what effect do you think that has on other witness' willingness to come forward and expose wrongdoing? >> it's very intimidating. >> designed to intimidate, is it not? >> i mean i can't speak to what the president is trying to do, but i think the effect is to be intimidating. >> of course one of the sharpest rejoinlders of the president attack came from one of the sharpest tweeters of the democratic house caucus, congresswoman ocasio-cortez. she tweeted his choice to publicly broadcast his own personally authored witness intimidation means he wants to sign-up for another article on obstruction of justice, too. the congresswoman joined me right here that very night. hey, how are you? good to see you. have a seat. i guess it's not surprising the president did that. >> no, not surprising at all. i'm sure and it certainly se

notwithstanding the fact that we saw a contraction in overall october,the month of wages actually perked up and are at around the highest level we have seen in a decade. a little bit of a push-pull the re. that is the story with the overall markets. investors have been whipsawed by contradictory headlines on the -- thehina trade numbers u.s. china trade file as it progresses. earlier this morning, donald trump says the u.s. has not agreed to a tariff rollback. here with the latest is damien says our -- damian s assower. yesterday the headline says one thing, today it is the opposite. and the market has trade on both of those things. damian: this is nothing new. if you look at the dinner last night, it was pretty impressive. to october go back 2018, exports were up 14% in china. that is a pretty big hurdle for them to overcome if they want to perform with last night's print, but they did that. exports were down just 0.9%. the focus shifts to a forward basis. next week, we have inflation data, credit extension, fixed asset investment. all of these things will fit neatly in what we believe

target doesn't leave much room for upside, notwithstanding in the recorder. believe we just published a note the took our price objective up to $150. so that means i think that leaves a little more than 20% upside from here. vonnie: exactly. literally coming in right now i think that price target. we are there at 125.10. that brings us to 150 given the news it's out in the open. abbie: i think target is in position to keep putting out good news. you are going to see a lot more stores that have shipped same day delivery service that you had last year. stores,er is about 1750 they will have more stores with drive-up as well. so there digital business will be supported by that, but they also have terrific momentum in categories like apparel heading into the holidays and they drove incredibly strong traffic results in the third quarter. targetgood as well for heading into the holiday as well. >> how much runway does this have in terms of gains to keep putting up these numbers. they very publicly and painfully retrenched from canada but can you see a day where the

whe notwithstanding. setting aside for a minute how crazy it is for the president to be having these conversations over an unsecure line with an individual at a restaurant. but what the foreign service officer heard the day after the president's famous call with the president of ukraine was the president raising the issue of investigations, the bidens, burisma. we want to know more about that. that's one more conversation that corroborates the central misconduct of the president. and by the way, it calls into question, again, the completeness of ambassador sondland's testimony because this is the first we're learning of it. >> well, to say it calls into question is very kind. it makes very clear that ambassador sondland left this out. and because he left it out of his testimony to believe that he had no negative intention and wasn't committing perjury by leaving it out, you have to believe that gordon sondland simply didn't remember this. he didn't remember sitting in a restaurant in ukraine, grabbing his

but my question is, are you saying that for months and months, and notwithstanding everything rudy giuliani was saying on tv, and all of the discussions with rudy giuliani, that you never put burisma together with the bidens? >> i doesn't. i didn't. and i wasn't paying attention to what mr. giuliani was saying on tv. >> mr. castro questioned the testimony suggesting his recollection of events was simply speculation. >> what we're trying to get to the facts here, we're trying to figure out what exactly happened, what is reliable, we have this back and forth, but as we get to the end here, you don't have records, you don't have your notes, because you didn't take notes, you don't have a lot of recollections, i mean this is like the trifecta of unreliability, isn't that true? >> well, what i'm trying to do today is to use the limited information i have to be as forthcoming as possible with you and the rest of the committee, and as these recollections have been refreshed by subsequent testimony, by some texts and emails that i've now had access to, i think i've filled in a lot of blanks. >> so
