Two people are in Critical Condition after another day of violent demonstrations in hong kong the territorys leader warns that its being brought to the brink of no return. And as oscar winning artist Steve Mcqueens latest School Project goes on display all across london transport, we ask who these fresh faces could possibly belong to . Hello and welcome im Michelle Fleury in new york and Matthew Price is in london. It is veterans day and donald trump is spending it here in manhattan. While washington is preparing for the first public hearings in the impeachment inquiry, mr trump took part in a ceremonial wreath laying for veterans in his home city of new york. In what is likely to be a momentous week, democrats and republicans continued to spat over the witness list. Key officials are lined up to give their public this accounts of what did and didnt happen in that phone call between President Trump and his ukrainian counterpart. Despite being in new york, that didnt stop the president from continuing to weigh in on events in washington. Mr trumps still insisting the call was perfect. Nothing was wrong. And hes warning republicans not to fall into the trap of saying it was not perfect but it is not impeachable. Caps lock nothing was done wrong. His tweets seemed to be aimed at republicans like Mac Thornberry who had this to say on the sunday talk shows. I believe that it is inappropriate for a president to ask a foreign leader to investigate a political rival. Now, it leads to a question, if theres a political rival with a Family Member whos involved in questionable activity, what do you do . Just let them alone. But set that aside. I believe it was inappropriate, i do not believe it was impeachable. Joining us now is anita kumar, White House Correspondent for politico. Listening to Mac Thornberry, you had the outlines of at least one argument that some republicans have been making that it may not be right to do the quid pro quo. Donald trump shut that down. He definitely doesnt like that line of messaging. The problem is the president has had six or 12 different messages on impeachment and republicans on capitol hill and some of his allies dont really know what the message should be because they are taking their cues from the president and hes been all over the place. A lot of people are telling the white house they need to come up with one Clear Strategy and message as the public hearings start on wednesday. The public hearings are just about to get under way, is there a sense there is a republican strategy forming . What is the president trying to push . The House Republicans have their own witness list and they are asking to bring in other people to move things away from President Trump and towards the 2016 election if ukraine was involved, which there has been no proof the country was involved. Also trying to talk Aboutjoe Biden and hunter biden and what they might have done. 0ne hunter biden and what they might have done. One of the people they wa nted have done. One of the people they wanted to bring in as a witness was hunter biden, the House Democrats are in the majority and said that isnt going to happen, they are going to try and keep their eye on President Trumps actions. But the republicans will try to move that around and try to talk about other things. I think weve got the three key players, photos we can put up. Youve got bill taylor, former top diplomat in ukraine on the left. In the middle youve got former Us Ambassador to ukraine on the right. Which of those is potentially most damaging for the president . which of those is potentially most damaging for the president . I think bill taylor is looking as if hes the biggest witness for the democrats. They are all huge, the democrats. They are all huge, the democrats are putting them out because they feel those are the best witnesses to come forward. Bill taylor has been the one able to first tie President Trump to a possible quid pro quo. He said the 80 ukraine was only going to be given if they investigated the bidens. His good witness for the democrats because they are all three of them, they are career diplomats, they are not President Trumps, they beenin they are not President Trumps, they been in the government and so that isa been in the government and so that is a good witness. The other two are going to talk about the repercussions of this. President trump and his outside attorney Rudy Giuliani, that they were dealing with the ukraine separately and people like Marie Evanovich was sidelined. A lot of the normal people, the career people you would expect to be involved, were sidelined in lieu of outside officials, Rudy Giuliani, and the president himself. There are two different tracks, one about the call and secondly what happened because of the school, what happened to other people who should have been involved in foreign policy. How important might Rudy Giuliani turn out to be because a lot of the test to me thats been made public has suggested it was Rudy Giuliani who might have been suggesting a quid pro quo, never donald trump. Has democrats feel Rudy Giuliani is very important. The question is, so many witnesses have mentioned him either in direct contact with them orjust that they had heard this is what they heard he wanted. The question is, was President Trump doing this 01 was is, was President Trump doing this or was this something Rudy Giuliani was doing separately . We dont fully know the answer because a lot of the top aides that are closest to the president , Rudy Giuliani, Nick Mulvaney the acting chief of staff, john bolton, people that talk directly to the president havent testified, havent gone to has democrats to tell them what they know. There is a bit of something unclear which is how much the president himself was involved. Thank you forjoining us another thing to throw into all of these insiders accounts, nikki haley the former Us Ambassador to the un, who has a book out, is saying specifically that she was repeated byjohn kelly and Rex Tillerson to keep the president in check. Its astonishing. Its amazing. Youve got the former Us Ambassador to the United Nations basically promoting her book and she recounts an exchange between Rex Tillerson and john kelly, trying to recruit her to stop President Trump from what they described as making bad decisions and being for the benefit of america. She went on tv over the weekend saying that is what happened, but she didnt understand why these individuals didnt go to the president and express their concerns directly. Basically, she said it was disloyal. Kelly has responded in the papers by saying, if giving legal and ethical staffing advice is guilty then he is guilty of it. The question is, what is behind it . Donald trump tweeted favourably about her book stop and whether it shifts the dial of the base, probably not. The uk election lost a little of its competition today. The brexit party announced that its not going to stand candidates in the 317 constituencies won by the conservatives at the 2017 general election. Nigel farage had origanally vowed to stand in almost all the constituency races but he said that having more than 600 candidates across the country could increase the chances of another Eu Referendum taking place. The Brexit Party Leader says that another brexit vote could be the result of competing against the conservative handing an election victory to labour. Heres nigel farage explaining the decision. Ok, the Prime Minister has moved to a position that looks a bit more like brexit. And for once, lets forget about left and right. Lets think about putting country before party. And that is why im prepared to give them a pass. Were joined now by our Political Correspondent chris mason. Good evening. Nigel farage, i thought a couple of weeks ago he said, well do a deal with the conservatives and if we dont get that deal will stand across the country. He hasnt got a deal and 110w country. He hasnt got a deal and now hes not standing across the country. Quite. It is an about turn. This time last week i was at an event down the road from here where nigel farage invited all of his pa rtys nigel farage invited all of his partys candidates to london. I was speaking to them, they were saying this is serious, hes paying our expenses, weve come all the way here to be unveiled as candidates in hundreds of seats all across england, scotland and wales. And one week on, he is saying pretty much the opposite, saying they wont stand in seats the conservatives won last time round. Theres been a lot of pressure for him to not stand where they could be a split in the pro brexit vote. What is really intriguing is that last week at that event, when nigel farage said to his activists that borisjohnsons proposed brexit deal didnt amount to brexit, the response in the hall was polite rather than hugely enthusiastic. The standing ovation was half hearted rather than fulsome. There was a sense within the party that the danger of the brexit Party Standing everywhere is that you could split the pro brexit vote and allow candidates who are sceptical or even hostile to brexit to win the seat as a result. Nigel farage deciding not to stand against conservatives where they won last time. That doesnt mean he still wont have an influence in seats the conservatives need to win if they are to get a majority, or that labour need to win if they are to get a majority. Picking up on that point, there has been so much talk about the fact the tories need to pick up seats held by labour, if youve got nigel farage not running in seats held by the tories, presumably that means they will be contesting seats held by labour that the tories need to win to carry this election. Precisely. Unless there is a further backpedalling from the brexit party in the next few days, the crucial seats that will determine whether borisjohnson can advance from where theresa made the former british Prime Minister was two years ago, theresa may, those crucial seats will have the brexit party contesting them. There is another question we dont know the a nswer another question we dont know the answer to, the Nigel Farages outfit in those seats take more votes from the conservatives than he takes from labour . Nigel farage argues that in a lot of seats where labour won but there was a majority for brexit a year earlier in 2016 at the referendum, that he is more likely to ta ke referendum, that he is more likely to take votes from labour than the conservative party might if they are in seats where there is hostility towards the conservative party but there might not be towards the brexit party. Equally, there is evidence to suggest in the past that nigel farage has taken more votes from the conservatives than he has from the conservatives than he has from the conservatives than he has from the labour party. That is the psychology we are into in terms of the influence of the brexit party if they hold to their promise as outlined today in terms of the seats they will stand in. I reckon well getan they will stand in. I reckon well get an answer to this question what does this mean in about four and a half weeks time. I think youre right. After months of uncertainty, the talismanic British Steel once owned by the government, then privatised and then under threat of closure has been saved. Its been sold to chinasjingye group which has agreed to invest £1. 2 billion to rescue the company. British steel went into liquidation in may its been kept running by the government since then reportedly at a cost to the taxpayer of £1 million a day. Importa ntly, the deal secures the future of 4,000 jobs at the firms plants in scunthorpe and teesside in northern england. And on top of that, a further 20,000 will be saved across the supply chain. But who is the new owner . We know surprisingly little aboutjingye it has 23,500 employees and boasts £41; billion in assets across steel and iron making, and in tourism and real estate. And this is from the promotional video on their website. We are joined now by our economics correspondent Andrew Walker. They say wisdom, whats the wisdom in this . Its not entirely clear. It isa in this . Its not entirely clear. It is a relatively high cost operation by global standards, in particular by global standards, in particular by chinese standards. It might be theres a couple of areas where it seems, you indicated how little we know, but it seems theres a couple of areas where they arent producing the goods that British Steel produce, in particular Railway Lines and long products which is the big steel girders used in construction. There may be some benefit there, there may also be some sort of benefit in having more of a foothold ina benefit in having more of a foothold in a developed economy, although i suppose at one stage you might have wondered whether they would be willing to get their feet inside the eu. Of course, that is a long term objective and clearly not in play. The desire to get past some of those trade barriers that have been imposed by a number of developed economies around the world may be pa rt economies around the world may be part of it. Thats interesting. Joining us now is richard warren, head of policy and representation at industry lobby group uk steel. Thank you forjoining us. The big picture, what does it mean for the British Steel industry as a whole . Well, on the face of it, its an incredibly positive announcement. Six months ago, British Steel going into liquidation, 4000 jobs at risk. Weve moved forward six months with a lot of input and effort by the government. We have reached the position where the deal isnt over the line but weve reached a position where the basis of a deal is fair. Its an incredibly positive move. Its incredibly important that the facilities at scunthorpe and elsewhere in the north east keep producing as theyve done for over a hundred years. It is an important Strategic Asset to the uk, there are products produced at scunthorpe that arent produced anywhere else. Theres very little overlap between uk producers at this point. When you lose a site, you lose the capability to produce that and whats produced at scunthorpe to produce that and whats produced at scu nthorpe is to produce that and whats produced at scunthorpe is a lotta products for our infrastructure and construction, Long Construction girders, rails, wire rod. If we lose that capability, the only alternative is to import those products which is a significant loss to manufacturing and infrastructure. Ijust want i just want to read you ijust want to read you a tweet, you are saying its a Strategic Asset, we know jobs are saying its a Strategic Asset, we knowjobs are going to be saved but youve got this from under the donors former secretary of state for transport saying that china destroys British Steel by dumping cheap steel. He says, now it buys the re m na nts steel. He says, now it buys the remnants for a pittance. If i was commenting on that, i would say its important to separate them. After six months of government efforts to find a buyer, we have someone coming and thats promising to invest in the long term, promising to invest {1. 2 billion over the next decade which is a similar amount to tata steel. Thats the important thing for us, the investment, the commitment to steel produced steel in the uk. Dumping remains a concern and its not just in the uk. Dumping remains a concern and its notjust china, there are ple nty of and its notjust china, there are plenty of countries that dump Steel Products into the eu and it is a critically important point that after brexit, after we take back control of trade defence measures, the uk government maintains a similarly robust position and effort that currently happens in the eu. And that those decisions whether to introduce tariffs for anti dumping and anti subsidies are independent and anti subsidies are independent and removed from political interference. I was reading that jingye havent actually developed the capability or they realise that British Steel is ahead of them in terms of these long girders, rails that youve talked about how British Steel has been producing in this country and is there any thought in your mind, any fear that this is simply to have a look at how British Steel has been doing it and then dump the company and do it more cheaply elsewhere . As Andrew Walker said, its a fairly high cost operation in t
