On the front lines and theyre all women to me symbolic ways female only antipoaching you. Can call assman welcome to the program we begin with a historic vote in the United States democrats in the house of representatives have taken a major step in their efforts to impeach President Donald Trump voting to move forward with their investigation the resolution sets out the ground rules that lawmakers would use moving the process from closed door sessions into the public eye. The weather on capitol hill couldnt have been more symbolic the vote in the house of representatives means an uncertain future to the Trump Presidency with 232 yes to 196 nays the democratic controlled house adopted a resolution allowing more transparency in the impeachment inquiry the vote came after a heated debate this is soviet style rules maybe in the soviet union you do things like this where only you make the rules there are no kings or queens in america that is what separates this country from so many other nations no one is above the law at the heart of the impeachment inquiry is President Trumps july phone call with ukrainian president the lord emir zelinsky a whistleblower accuse trump of pressing ukraine to investigate against a political rival democrats see that as an act of abuse of power from now on there is no return for the democrats but the way forward is a risky one todays vote some are concerned that impeaching president truong might eventually backfire in excuse election those are some of the hopes of the Republican Party minority leader Kevin Mccarthy sees the inquiry as a partisan power battle they face doubt about the credibility of the whistleblower and the motivation of the Democrats Ask me every Single Member of congress that now has a transcript of a phone call what is the Impeachable Offense so ill make you this one promise. Republicans believe in the constitution we believe in the rule of law and thats why were standing here today. Democrat congressman al green is an outspoken supporter of impeaching President Trump he stresses the democrats have no other choice when it comes to impeachment and balance of power of the constitution protecting you know preserving the republic you have to put principle politics or you have to make sure that you do not allow your personal ambitions to become an impediment to protecting the country. The impeachment inquiry will now take place in the open despite the political risks involved in trying to remove President Trump from office the democrats clearly feel the time for caution is over. German chancellor Angela Merkel has arrived in india for a 3 day visit that will focus on boosting trade and business ties americal was welcomed in delhi with military honors she will be holding talks with indian Prime MinisterNarendra Modi on a wide range of bilateral issues including Technology Smart cities for noble energy and mobility will also be on the agenda germany is indias largest trading partner and europe to the tune of nearly 25000000000. 00 u. S. Dollars last year. Chief Political Editor he is live in delhi for us shes following the chancellors visit there now mckellar this visit is actually the latest in a series of meetings between the 2 countries whats special about this one. Well these are actually joint government consultations and the clear message here is that europe that germany wants much closer cooperation with india these consultations were set up to sort the after germany took up a similar consultations with china and china of course is the big well not even the elephant in the room its open to be spoken about as well how this economy that started out similar to india has become such a dominant factor throughout asia and here both surely german chancellor Angela Merkel was also seen as a representative for the European Union but also a renter modi looking for a tongue tears after all india is the largest democracy in the world so when it comes to values certainly both are talking about the same lets talk about those values of course in the in president or under modi has been criticized lately for increasingly nationalist policies do you expect the chancellor will be touching on any political issues. I think its safe to say that theres an expectation that she will raise that in those consultations with her and her modi but without the press there the German Foreign minister who is also part of the delegation gave an interview here to a newspaper describing the conflict in kashmir thats essential new tension there as an internal matter for india but called on both india and pakistan for restraint so clearly this is not seen as something that is the only issue on the table here are more similarities than differences thats a clear message but the issue of kashmir is a tricky one wanted to talk about on these next 3 days.
