After Robert Miller's testimony it seemed like talk of impeaching President Trump had slowed down House Speaker Nancy Pelosi refused to even talk about it publicly until just a couple days ago but now all of that has changed the President must be held to. No one is a part of the law that was Speaker Pelosi talking yesterday she announced she's opening an official impeachment inquiry into the president based on a July phone call that he made to Ukraine's president followed emirs alleged scheme President Trump admits that in that call he asked the Ukrainian president to investigate his political opponent former Vice President Joe Biden now we have not seen a transcript of that call but the White House says it will release it later this morning so how will improve impeachment proceedings proceed Nick Akerman served on the prosecution team that investigated President Richard Nixon during the Watergate scandal which led to impeachment hearings and Nixon's resignation Good morning good morning thank you for having me. So in your capacity as a lawyer let me ask you is it illegal for a sitting president to pressure Ukraine's president to investigate a political rival. It certainly depends on all of the facts but it would seem in this circumstance it wasn't only pressuring a foreign leader to investigate a rival which probably could likely violate the campaign finance laws seeking something of a from a foreign person which is against the law but what makes it even more egregious here is the holding off of aid to Ukraine which had been appropriated by Congress that was desperately needed for the government to fend off for the Russian incursion into Ukraine so it the whole matter itself raises incredibly serious allegations will President Trump has admitted that he held off the aid but he hasn't yet said he hasn't said I should say that he did it because Ukraine did not did not exceed his request right so I guess what I'm pointing to is if there are some facts that we know and there are some facts that we don't at this point at this moment what are the facts that you would like to know before you can say openly the president's actions were an impeachable offense What do you want to know still well I think what I'd want to know is how many calls were there how many times did he speak to the Ukraine president how many times did Rudy Giuliani make overtures to various people apparently he met with people in Madrid what was said there what happened in those conversations and why were they made what was asked for I'd want to be looking at exactly what the circumstances were on the withholding of the appropriated money to Ukraine what was unusual Why didn't it go over what did the president say to various people there's also reports in the press that apparently a number of. National security people were very nervous about the president speaking to the president of Ukraine for the very reason that we now find happened you know what was it that led them to believe in the 1st instance that President Trump would be making an overture to try and get the Ukrainian government to investigate Joe bribe Biden I mean I'd want to know all of those facts there are lots of witnesses that would be involved in this all of these people have to be spoken to it's not just the whistleblower that was involved but it sounds like there are many many people here who have relevant knowledge as to the circumstances surrounding this whole matter is the transcript enough do you think or do you think we need the whistle blow blowers full complaint Oh I don't think the transcript comes close I mean I'll take one transcript of one conversation transcripts aren't always accurate you really have to compare the transcripts of the recording of the conversation if there is such a recording of your experience in Watergate Why is that and we have a situation where Nixon was trying to evade producing the tapes and giving his transcripts that were going to be listened to by then Senator Stennis who had a hearing problem because of his age so you know you've got to be very very cautious of relying just on a transcript what do investigators be looking for if they if and when they get a hold of the whistle blowers complaint that will help them determine whether what happened is an impeachable offense what's your complaint that we really want to see we want to know exactly what was said what he based his knowledge on was it firsthand knowledge did he overhear the conversation did he just happen to see a transcript of the conversation afterwards who else did he speak to or what other evidence is out there that corroborates what he says How specific is this complaint how much detail is in there these are all the kinds of things. Is that we'll be looking for the moment that the whistleblower statement comes out and we will you know it will come out all right so I think it's it's inevitable Ok going to come out and I mean I think what we do know though is the inspector general basically said this was an urgent matter and I was significant so it's not like somebody who is in charge of this and is in charge of investigating this in the 1st instance is saying that this is not something that's credible and he's saying just the opposite so that's what makes this so concerning what what happens next as we proceed along the path of this inquiry at this impeachment inquiry I think what we're going to see is with respect to this issue which I think is really the prime issue at the front burner right now we're going to see witnesses called in people spoken to more documents I think they're going to have to really go back and retrace everything that occurred I mean this is going to be a very investigative intensive matter just like I said before because there are questions about why wasn't the money appropriated will what the Trump say to people are why did people go along with it I just think there's just so many people to speak to this is going to be a pretty intensive investigation very briefly given your experience in Watergate how does Congress keep this from becoming political theater we just have a couple seconds I'm afraid I think what they really have to do is do a lot of this behind closed doors because a lot of this involves national security issues in classified information so this is got to be held very close to the vest initially and then Congress has to decide what it is they can reveal to the public sounds like about potential for very frustrated they're curious public there for a while anyway but I financially this was come out make Ackerman is a former federal prosecutor who was a member of the Watergate prosecution team sir thank.

News I'm Steve Inskeep and I'm Noel King good morning the opera star Placido Domingo has withdrawn from a series of planned performances at the Metropolitan Opera in New York he was supposed to sing tonight but some met employees were upset about having to perform with him after 20 women accused him of sexual misconduct N.P.R.'s honest has been following this story she's with us now good morning good morning Noel so I know that you've been following the story very doggedly What did you find out and did your reporting as I understand it contribute to Domingo pulling out of these performances Yes well I've reported a couple of stories over the last few days using Matt sources and late yesterday afternoon the Metropolitan Opera general manager Peter Galbraith sent an e-mail to his staff that sources said to me it said to me was withdrawing from all of his upcoming performances at the Met and not only that in a statement clued in that e-mail Domingo himself said he will never perform at the mad again and this is a singer who had performed at the. For 51 years in a row in over 700 performances and now saying after 51 years he'll never perform at the Met again I wonder your sources the people you've been speaking to have they said anything to you about him. Ending his career at the Met so to speak I have and I think it's important to mention that all my sources asked for anonymity for fair retribution in their workplace one women in the orchestra last night for example told me that she felt relieved that this situation is now over but she noted it was an 11th hour solution that came out of mounting media pressure and I've heard from a lot of the public as well many who support the decision and some very upset fans interesting that many people still support him well what is Placido Domingo saying about stepping down is he defending himself. In that statement in that. He said he still disputes the allegations from 20 women. Who had come forward but he acknowledged the strain that his presence was putting on his colleagues So he acknowledges that him being there is sort of making a mess of things for the people who are with him given the attention and I know that some of those colleagues his colleagues told you that they felt that women's voices weren't being taken seriously at the Met and they were especially upset by what general manager Peter said in a meeting on Saturday right on Saturday what did Peter guild say exactly right this is how this reporting has contributed to the day we are now this the sources I spoke with were particularly upset about contention that the women's allegations were anonymous and. Uncorroborated the allegations were 1st published by The Associated Press and the a.p. Reported it spoke to dozens of people who corroborated the allegations and 2 of the women who came forward in those reports use their names. So one source text me last night saying that it had taken over a month for the Met to act and this person said quote That illustrates management's lack of a moral compass so again as is true of many of these me 2 stories you have just allegations that the people in charge are not taking the women who come forward seriously I imagine that this will continue to Royal through the Metropolitan Opera for 4 weeks and months to come N.P.R.'s honest Thank you so much for your really intrepid reporting on this story we appreciate it you're welcome Noel thanks so much.

News time 745 you may have noticed more street vendors around San Diego this year that's because there are currently no local restrictions on them but hey p.b.s. Reporter Prius reader says. San Diego is now considering cracking down to. Luis Sierra and his friends have been selling jewelry and artwork on the pathway in front of ocean beach for years people come here to vacate. There's a lot of tourism here people just really love with things or hand me but most of the time he's been selling his natural stone jewelry he's technically been committing a misdemeanor it's a way of life so. Whether it's illegal or not if I can do with. Where I'm going to still be able to feed myself and those around midnight it has to be done now is state law that went into effect January 1st has decriminalized street funding the idea is to foster entrepreneurship for now cities across California are scrambling to create some regulations that will conform to the new state law Robert faqih is the deputy chief operating officer with the city of San Diego he says cities have to manage issues from vendors who made on trash or blocked access to bathrooms or bus stops so in high traffic areas you're going to be limited to what you can do for vending in the lower traffic areas there's. A lesser restrictions he says vendors will be more restricted on crowded sidewalks like in the Gaslamp District or the boardwalks in Mission Beach and will. Vendors who break rules now will receive take it ranging from $100.00 to $500.00 instead of criminal charges it's all about a balance you have to balance the health and safety of the whole versus the opportunities for the individuals and I think that's what we're trying to do for instance back he says instead of requiring aspiring business owners to pay for high insurance starting out the city is decreasing their liability by limiting where they can operate Sarah Burns heads up the business improvement. For Pacific Beach she says her organization along with most of the merchant associations across Diego are supporting the proposed regulations I mean think of course want to be cautious if you own a coffee shop and now someone's allowed to open a coffee shop right outside your door Of course there's going to be concern and questions with that but the new law says any city regulations can't be to stifle competition they can only focus on public health and safety we didn't start on the sidewalk but we started you know Farmer's Market Street Fair Bernard labile is the owner of California stock company with $500.00 styles and. He started out as a street vendor in San Diego at farmers' markets and has now moved on to own 2 stores in Pacific Beach and at the Fashion Valley Mall while he is personally seen the business benefits of starting small he also thinks that vendors should have the same rules as brick and mortar store owners I would like everybody to have and have to pay the same taxation as everybody else same permits same permitting process same taxation of brick and mortar vs Street the new regulations will require street vendors to get a $30.00 permit once a year they will also have to remain within a certain distance of various intersections and loading zones comply with hours of operations in parks and push carts can't be larger than 6 by 4 feet food vendors would also have to get a county health permit but many street vendors like Ryan Gilmore say they haven't really been part of the discussion about new regulations and they're not even sure where to find the information on the rules they would have to follow there's really no current public information. For street vendors you know the only way you're going to know is if they come up and start to tell you to take your stuff down the proposed regulations are set to be heard by city council in October many vendors think they shouldn't be hazily restricted as being out here is what brings people to o.b. It's not just the beach it's. An atmosphere it's a people it's a way of life lucky for Luis he can keep that way of life because Obi is not on the list of places for vendor crackdowns preassure either k p b s news yet 750 times update your wisdom morning drive Here's Tory pack 56 getting busier now almost the 15 out to the 5 and North not much of a break between Benita and Gov 5 has been a whole lot of help a lot of that is because of the heavy traffic on the core not a bridge west 94 pretty solid 125 to the 5 it's almost the same story for the westbound 8 traffic reports made possible by Geico probably offering insurance in San Diego for your car and more additional information to Geico dot com or when 80947 auto for k.
