A lawyer involved has told American Television the second whistle blower is another Us Intelligence official. Donald trump has been accused of using military aid to ukraine as quid pro quo if ukranians agreed to dig up dirt on his rivaljoe biden. Our washington correspondent Chris Buckler gave us more details. This second whistle blower has been described as a Us Intelligence official and they apparently have first hand knowledge of this controversial conversation that took place between donald trump and the ukrainian president. You might remember, in that phone call back in summer, President Trump asked zelensky to launch an investigation into his potential rival, joe biden and that was extremely controversial and caused a great deal of anger among democrats are now there are growing questions about whether there was any attempt to put pressure on you cane ukraine, perhaps by offering some kind of incentive like a visit to the white house or potentially by threatening to suspend Security Assistance to the country. Now, that is very firmly denied by President Trump. He insists he had every right to ask that question. But while he has made unsubstantiated allegations againstjoe biden and his son, hunter, is not produced evidence and this weekend, he has put out more unsubstantiated allegations. Meanwhile, amid all of this noise of politics taking place in washington, there are three congressional committees that are quietly working away on impeachment enquiries. At the moment, democrats are trying their very best to get information from the white house. They want documents about anything connected with that call between ukraine and the united states. And they will also, i suspect, want to hear exactly what this whistleblower has had to say. It is understood they have already spoken to the inspector general. Thats the person who acts as the watchdog for the Us Intelligence community. That was Chris Buckler, who is based in washington for us. There is more detail on that story on our website. You take a look for more details. For now, lets focus on the agenda in the uk. British Prime MinisterBoris Johnson will make a series of phone calls to eu leaders today, to try to win support for his brexit plans. He will tell them they must compromise to achieve a deal. The french president , Emmanuel Macron, has said the eu will decide whether an agreement is possible by the end of the week. Im joined by one of our regular commentators, swiss businesswoman cornelia meyer. Good morning, cornelia. Good morning. Give us your take on this week. What do you think are the chances of borisjohnson nailing down a deal with the European Union . It looks very dicey. Yesterday the latvian Prime Minister said on the bbc that he did not really hold out too much hope, and rutte, the finnish Prime Minister, and finland holds the presidency of the eu, he said, and wrote in a german newspaper, he said, look, ithink that our eu summit will be more about discussing an extension. It was a nonstarter. His deal was, for the eu, a nonstarter. This is the point borisjohnson the eu, a nonstarter. This is the point Boris Johnson has the eu, a nonstarter. This is the point borisjohnson has been trying to make in the conversations he has been having, especially with Emmanuel Macron, where he has been saying, actually, were leaving october 31. But from the perspective of the eu leaders, perhaps they are thinking about this law which has come into place in the uk, which demands an extension of a deal is not agreed to in westminster. cant quite triangulate data. Because on one hand, he has said he would comply with the law, but then he says deal or no deal, we are leaving on the 31st, and we now have oui leaving on the 31st, and we now have our attorney general, geoffrey cox, saying that he will be leaving if borisjohnson saying that he will be leaving if Boris Johnson runs foul of the saying that he will be leaving if borisjohnson runs foul of the benn act. Runs afoul. Borisjohnson runs foul of the benn act. Runs afoul. It is encouraging, in some ways, Emmanuel Macron saying we will work really ha rd macron saying we will work really hard this week, to discuss the proposal put forward by the uk. You saw leo varadkar, he said from an irish perspective, it is a no go. And you saw all of the eu leaders saying, we are backing ireland. So this is very difficult. What actually makes my heart sink a little bit is that they didnt go in the tunnel, over the weekend, Boris Johnson said we should negotiate further, they said, no, having the weekend off. 0k, there is more to talk about later. On earlier, thank you for now. Cornelia will be back for a news briefing and will be discussing that story anothers further. Lets brief you on some of the other stories making the news.

Two people have appeared in court in hong kong after a series of arrests under a new law to try and end months of civil unrest. The new law forbids people from Wearing Masks to conceal their identity at demonstrations. In the latest protests on sunday there were violent clashes with riot police. Our asia correspondent Rupert Wingfield hayes reports from hong kong. Loud bangs. At what point does a protest movement become a rebellion . Today in hong kong, it felt close to that edge. It is now illegal here to cover yourface in public. But look at these people. Young and old, parents with children, nervous but defiant, determined they will not be stopped from protesting or Wearing Masks. Chanting. If carrie lam and her government were hoping that the new regulation banning the wearing of masks was going to stop people coming out on the streets, well, theyve been proved wrong. Even in this pouring rain, tens of thousands have come out again today, many, many of them Wearing Masks. It is a sign ofjust how little credibility and authority carrie lam and her government now have here. Many protesters are now scared. They fear what is coming but say they cannot give up. Actually, we are afraid but we still go, come out, because we. We know that this is the last chance for hong kong people. Look at the kids. Honestly, look at them. They are very young, and you know, they are fighting for us, you know, it is really for the entire hong kong. I think really we should really stand up and help, honestly. Even though i know that maybe its useless. After two hours, the police decided this illegal show of defiance had gone on long enough. Loud bangs. The police are now behind this wall here inside the Police Station and they have started firing volleys of tear gas over the wall, through these trees and down into the street. The protesters are responding by pouring water onto the tear gas canisters or throwing them back. These are the black clad radicals, the hardcore activists who the facemask ban is aimed at. The government says they are hiding their identities so they can create chaos. Explosions. The tear gas barrage intensifies and the protesters now fall back in a chaotic retreat. Police whistles, shouting. The race is now on to get into the back streets before the police can catch them. But many are too slow and the police overrun them. Among those arrested are two young women. They look like teenagers. The atmosphere is tense, the angerfeverish. As the police finally withdraw, the crowd cheers in victory. Cheering. For now, at least, the streets again belong to the people. Sexual harassment of female students in universities is a global issue.

Our headlines a second Whistleblower Comes Forward in the impeachment case against donald trump he accuses both of bias. Borisjohnsons to hold a series a phone calls with eu leaders in a bid to win support for his brexit deal proposals. The head of the trans Atlantic Security alliance, nato, has accused russia of taking aggressive actions against its western neighbours. In an interview to mark 30 years since the end of the cold war, Jens Stoltenberg said russia is trying to build a new sphere of influence in central europe. This week, our moscow correspondent Steve Rosenberg has a special series of reports on how russia views the events of 1989 the year the berlin wall fell and the soviet empire began to crumble. In his first one, steve looks at the stand off between russia and nato. The warships are russian. The place is crimea. Ukrainian territory annexed by moscow. Its a military show of strength. The russian annexation here was a watershed moment. The end of the cold war had brought hope of partnership between moscow and the west. Thats gone. What we see is a pattern of behaviour where russia is responsible for aggressive actions against neighbours. That reflects that the main problem of russia is that the main problem of russia is that they still believe in the idea of spheres of influence. In response to moscows annexation of crimea, nato has stepped up military exercises and bolstered its forces close to russias western borders to boost security for the baltic states. Nato jets are regularly scrambled here to intercept Russian Military aircraft. As long as russia, as such, does not change their stance towards the west, they can be. Moscow denies its a danger to nato or the baltic states. The baltic has become one of the front lines of what feels like a new cold war between russia and the west. To moscow, the presence of nato troops near its border is a direct threat to russias national security. One complaint so often hear from russian officials security. One complaint so often hearfrom russian officials is security. One complaint so often hear from russian officials is that 30 years ago a promise was made by the west to moscow that nato would not enlarge and move closer to russias borders and russia says the west deceived moscow. First of all, no such promise was made. But second, just the idea that washington or a big western allies should promise that to moscow is an idea based on a total wrong assumption that big countries can promise on the behalf of small countries. Back in crimea, the kremlin has a different message for the public, that its the west thats the threat and russia must defend itself. After the iron curtain fell, many people believe that russia and the west we chart a common course, but cooperation depends on trust and that has ebbed away wood. Steve rosenberg, bbc news.

No one knew how big it would turn out to be. Translation en esur is the largest site and the most important from that era. Its double the size of what wed previously seen. The city covers an area of around 160 acres and dates from the end of the fourth millennium bc, in what was then the biblical land of canaan. All sorts of things have been unearthed tools, figurines, pottery. Experts believe it could transform the way we understand the development of villages, towns and cities. Translation what makes this site so important is that we can observe a set of components that make it a city, such as residential buildings and streets that divided the houses and created quarters which connected them to other areas. There are even some remains of what may be an older settlement from an earlier era. Once the site has been fully excavated and examined, its likely to be covered up once more.
