Will go to washington for more also coming up tonight fresh tensions between moscow and berlin comments by plaza reports in over the killing of a former Chechen Rebel here in berlin have angered german lawmakers and questions are mounting after new zealands volcanic eruptions with the death toll rising to 68 people missing and dozens severely injured people are asking why a tourist were allowed there in the 1st place. Also on the show shes a nobel peace laureate once held as a defender of human rights smell me in mars on songs that she is in the hague and shes being forced to defend her country against accusations of genocide. Im burnt off to our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world we begin tonight in the United States where democrats on capitol hill have concluded that President Donald Trump should be impeached for abusing his powers and for obstructing congress the speaker of the house nancy pelosi and the heads of investigating committees today announced 2 articles of impeachment the democrats accused of soliciting foreign interference in next years president ial election and of attempting to conceal from Congress Evidence of those efforts and heres how the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee adam schiff described the actions of the present President Trump solicited a foreign nation ukraine to publicly announce investigations into his opponent and a baseless Conspiracy Theory promoted by russia to help his reElection Campaign. President trump abused the power of his office by conditioning to official acts to get ukraine to help israel action the release of hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid that nation desperately needed and a white house meeting with an ally trying to fend off russian aggression in so doing he undermined our National Security and jeopardized the integrity of our next election and he does so still are there was and should speaking earlier lets take this story now to washington our correspondent all over salat is on the story for us good evening to you oliver so weve got 2 articles of impeachment walk us through tell us exactly what they tell us. When brant number one the 1st article of impeachment the most important one perhaps is abuse of power and that is basically at the heart of the impeachment inquiry and goes back to that now infamous ukraine phone call between President Trump and president of a lot of mayors a lenski back in july the allegations made the allegation made here is that trump pressured selenski and ukraine to interfere in the 2020 Election Campaign of the United States not number 2 the 2nd article of impeachment made is obstruction of Congress Interesting lee that theyd spent to right after the inquiry began and essentially that President Trump instructed the white house to not cooperate with the inquiry he instructed his aides to withhold documents and even prevented them to to testify on capitol hill and there could have been another a 3rd article of impeachment but the democrats really decided to focus on ukraine as they were afraid that they could weaken their case if they extend that impeachment inquiry in the articles here and we knew that the democrats in the u. S. House theyre convinced that the president will be impeached and should be removed from office has there been reaction today from the u. S. President. Well absolutely a president from took to twitter in his usual fashion and he called the allegation ridiculous he also pointed out that the ukrainian side to confirm that there was no pressure made that surprisingly by the way the typical line of defense that weve been getting from the republicans here in recent weeks is interesting lee he didnt deny that he was seeking help for his 2020 Election Campaign the republicans have been standing very much united until now their strategy has been to discredit the inquiry sort of like arguing the democrats are afraid to lose their reelection and the to lose the election excuse me in 2020 now later there was a press conference of the House Minority leader Kevin Mccarthy all the republicans lets listen in what he had to say the speaker is more concerned about tearing the president down instead of building the country up this is the day that Alexander Hamilton feared and warned would come this is the day the nation is weaker because they surely cannot put their animosity or their fear of losing an election in the future in front of all the other things that the American People want to know over despite. Those complaints by the republicans we are in a situation now where we could easily see the u. S. President impeached before christmas right. Thats right on thursday the Judiciary Committee wants to vote on these articles and that would open the way for a house floor wold so the house of representatives will vote on articles of impeachment as soon as next week and that in turn would trigger that socalled senate trial in january but lets not forget its unlikely the president will be removed from office as a result of that due to a republican majority here so the democrats are hoping for a shift in the Public Opinion despite all of this bi partisan animosity in washington today the democrats signed on to the president s new north american tree deal why are they giving giving trump such a huge political victory today. Well they dont see this necessarily the democrats dont see this as a major victory and nancy pelosi the speaker of the house talked about improvements that were being made to that initial deal itself for instance there were a stronger environmental and labor standards and all part of that trade deal between the United States mexico and canada and also if you want to look at the date most of the air time and you know off the News Coverage today is consumed by impeachment so its definitely not that dominating news story that President Trump was hoping for our correspondent in washington all over salad on the story for us tonight oliver thank you. What he said the fact that he said it its russian president Vladimir Putin is drawing the anger of german lawmakers tonight over his comments about a former Chechen Rebel who was murdered here in berlin last august german prosecutors say the killing may have been a hit job ordered by the kremlin last week germany expelled 2 Russian Diplomats over the kates putin has denied any involvement so monday he told reporters the man who was killed got what he deserved in the german lawmakers should be happy about their. Machall and poison both still have something to clarify the meeting in paris should actually have been about ukraine but merkel was concerned about something else. Is illegal. Was shot twice in the head at close range in broad daylight at the end of august in central berlin a targeted assassination. The suspect a russian citizen was later arrested gradually investigators gathered evidence indicating russian intelligence may have been involved in the killing. As a result berlin expelled 2 Russian Diplomats from germany the reason russia did not cooperate in the investigation of the case. At the joint press conference in paris the russian president shot back he said the georgian who was killed it was a killer himself. That. He was a bandit a bloodthirsty brutal person which among other things he was involved in planning an attack on the moscow subway i dont know what happened to him but if someone associates with such criminals anything can happen. German politicians were outraged by those comments. If indeed the evil plot from being president putins choice of words was inappropriate you know we will just im appalled that he was trying to justify a murder by implying the victim was a terrorist the reason. For the courts to decide what will thailand it was in so far its a very cynical what the russian president has said and for us germans its intolerable that what was apparently a contract killing took place on german soil. Putin has complained that expelling the 2 diplomats was unjustly he said german diplomats would be expelled in retaliation for the the german chancellor appealed to russia to cooperate if he did also. Get off on a lie think the russian side will share information with us in any event that would be a good thing and. The circumstances of his death are still being determined federal prosecutors have taken over the investigation Zelin Khan Congo she really had long been afraid of being attacked and had already reported his fears to German Authorities and 2017. Are for more this is bring in our chief Political Correspondent Melinda Crean shes here in berlin can even see you melinda so this is classic what amir putin he says that the georgian man who was killed here in berlin was himself a killer and he got what he deserved help does the German Government view comments like this. Well as we heard in the report there was a widespread condemnation of those remarks from pretty much all the german Political Parties with members of the parties governing together in the grand coalition saying that those words were tantamount to a threat or an admission of russian involvement however the chancellor took a rather more. Restrained tone at the press conference itself choosing to concentrate instead on the more cooperative remarks that putin had made we heard them also in the report namely his statement that the russians should help their german colleagues and and participate in the investigation and the chancellor as we heard said that she would find that to be a very good step but she also emphasized that the investigation is ongoing and absolutely left open whether the German Response might change over time as more is known and putin also. Gets you threw a dart right at germany today by accusing the country of not on remote scales earlier requests to have this judge and extradite him why is the German Government you know mentioned or why is he mentioning that now and why arent we hearing the German Government react to them well in fact German Government spokes people did say today that they know of no such extradition request whatsoever and and as you know in fact the diplomats were expelled by germany the Russian Diplomats because russia had not been cooperating here again that looks an awful lot like a red herring coming from mr putin and demand to be extradited because georgia not church and what does all of this mean for german russian relations at the moment. Well. Put in trying to downplay that saying its not a crisis but there is no question whatsoever it does burden the german russian relationship and that at a moment when many german Business People had been hoping that the time might finally have arrived when one could Start Talking about rolling back economic sanctions on russia but in fact expelling diplomats is a very serious step hearten as more facts are known i think we will certainly hear more calls for a stronger response possibly also a coordinated European Response such as the one that we saw last year with the expulsion of of Russian Diplomats by many countries at the same time after the poisoning of the russian double agent sergey script hall and interestingly enough president mccraw of france who had been viewed as trying to be conciliatory toward russia made it clear that if the facts justify it france would be on board with such a reaction.
