And Global Warming is causing greenlands ice sheet to melt at seven times the rate as in the 90s. The congressional committees investigating donald trump have formally laid charges of impeachment against him. This is the case being made by the democrats. President trump solicited a foreign nation, ukraine, President Trump solicited a foreign nation, ukraine, to publicly announce investigations into his opponent. In a baseless Conspiracy Theory promoted by russian to help his reElection Campaign. President trump abused the power of his office by conditioning to official acts to get ukraine to help his reelection. Two official acts to get ukraine to help his reelection. 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 International Security and jeopardised the integrity of our next election. And he does so still. Here are the articles of impeachment. This document charges the president with committing high crimes and misdeameanours. Adam schiff there was outlining the case theyre making under article one that using the powers of his office, President Trump solicited the interference of a Foreign Government, ukraine, in the 2020 us president ial election. Theyre calling that abuse of power. Article two is obstruction of congress. This involves requests repeatedly made by congress to the white house during the impeachment inquiry for documents and for Administration Officials to testify. The document alleges that without lawful cause or excuse, President Trump directed executive branch agencies, offices and officials not to comply with these subpoenas. And they say that too breaches the constitution which gives congress the power to carry out the impeachment process. Impeachment is, of course, primarily a political act and democrats know that, regardless of the outcome of this process, if they can persuade americans that the president deserves to be impeached then that has obvious benefits in novembers election. Heres the chairman of theJudiciary Committee, jerry nadler. He endangers the constitution, he endangers our democracy and he endangers our national security. The framers of the constitution prescribed a clear remedy for president s that so violate their oath of office. That is the power of impeachment. White House Press Secretary stephanie grisham. The president will address these false charges in the senate and expects to be fully exonerated, because he did nothing wrong. That was the white house. And this is republican congressman kevin mccarthy. We would never be here if they paid attention to the facts or the hearing. To the facts or the hearings. This is not a day that america will be proud about. It is not a day that history will write that anybody wants to repeat. Alexander hamilton warned us that this day would come, that a majority would use their political power just for politics. Even though we all raise our hands to uphold the constitution. Ijust hope no congress, regardless of whos in the majority, will ever take us down this path again. What happens next is that this thursday the Judiciary Committee, chaired byjerry nadler, will vote on these articles of impeachment. If that passes and we expect it to then the articles go to the full house of representatives for another vote. Thats could happen before christmas and the assumption is the house will back impeachment because the democrats have a majority. If that happens, the president will go on trial, in the Upper Chamber the senate. That could be as early as january. And this is where the process may hit the buffers. Republicans control that senate and a two thirds majority is required to remove a president from office. That looks a long, long way off given that no republicans are supporting that outcome. Hello. The democrats couldve done a number of Different Directions in terms of what they charged the president with. What do you make of the decision they made . They have gone for a very narrow course here, just gone for a very narrow course here, just to articles of impeachment. Having specifically brought up the report, they referenced it, they referenced a pattern of obstructive behaviour by the president. But in an attempt to keep all democrats in the house on board to try to make this as unanimous as possible, at least on their side, they have gone for the narrowest definition that they could. It seems very unlikely that they will get any republicans to support this, but that is why they have gone down this path and have not included the charge of bribery in those articles of impeachment. Obstruction of congress, that is what President Trump is been quite open about that he has not wanted to co operate with this inquiry. Congress is supposed to be an equal branch of government and there is not supposed to be in over mati executive, the executive is supposed to be responsive to congress and congress is supposed to have the power to summon persons and papers and because the president and his legal team of taken the view that this is a baseless, political motivated process, they have not cooperated. The democrats have faced some criticism for not going to court to try to subpoena some key witnesses, democrats say they have not done that because this is about the 2020 election and the attempt to getan the 2020 election and the attempt to get an investigation into his political rival says they did not have time to go to court, so that is why they have gone for the obstruction of congress charge. Why they have gone for the obstruction of congress chargem terms of the articles of impeachment, this could be a huge moment for notjust congress but america more generally, but given the maelstrom around the donald trump residency, does it feel like at this time around . It is undoubtedly a sombre moment. Only four americans have faced impeachment, it is a process to try to re m ove impeachment, it is a process to try to remove a president from office. But because the senate is in republican hands and as you said, it seems very republican hands and as you said, it seems very unlikely that there will bea seems very unlikely that there will be a majority to remove the president from office, there is a sense that this is an extension of the partisan warfare that we have seen the partisan warfare that we have seen for some the partisan warfare that we have seen for some years now the partisan warfare that we have seen for some years now here in america. Nonetheless, the president has made it known to his aides that he does not want to have impeachment on his resume. It is not something that he wants to happen, but he will fight it is already talking about the trial in the senate and whether or not they will be live witnesses or not they will be live witnesses or if youll try to turn it to his advantage. But there is no doubt that he will be in a bitterly drawn out partisan process and. Two days to go until the uk general election. Lets update you on a variety of developments. First, a recording of senior labour figure being disparaging about labours chances has leaked. Heres some of it. Look, ive been going around these national places, its dire for labour. Its dire. My strategy is to try and help as many of my colleagues back over the line. And ive been banging on about the nhs in their areas for them. But its awful for them. And it is a combination of corbyn and brexit. Jonathon ashworth has named the person he was speaking to as former local conservative Association Chairman called greig baker. This is a picture of him on the blog brexit central which he contributes to. And heresjon ashworths explanation of what he said. I look stupid, of course do. You dont believe a word of what you said. Im trying to wind him up, right . And the reason this has come out today is because the tories know that the crisis in the nhs is ruining their campaign. The state of the National Health service that Jonathon Ashworth refers to there was a dominant issue yesterday. That was because of this picture on the front page of the daily. Mirror it shows a four year old boy having to sleep on the floor of a hospital. When asked by a journalist what he thought of that photo, Boris Johnson took journalists phone and put it in his pocket rather than look at the picture and was widely criticsed for his response. Well, the Prime Minister has pushed on with his campaign today. This is where weve got to. With all the subtlely of a bulldozer the message here is the Prime Minister can break the political gridlock around brexit and leave the eu. As we can see breaking through a polystyrene wall was just as easy as breaking a promise not to put trade checks between britain and Northern Ireland in a brexit deal. And you imagine, Michel Barnier may offer greater resistance tha the polysterene when the uk starts to demand a trade deal within 12 months while insisting the uk is free of the eu regulation that the brexiteers dislike so much. Anyway, bulldozers or not the questions about National Health service wont go away for the conservatives remember theyve been in power for nine years and brought it a raft of cuts to public services. Heres the justice secretary today. Demand in the nhs continues to grow. We have seen that since its foundation. The founding assumption of the nhs was with increasing provision, demand would drop, of course, the opposite has been true. We have seen demand increase. But what we have is a very targeted and structured programme that has been agreed with nhs england to make important investments in places like leeds. Curious that both of the parties are on the defensive of the moment. There retreating to their core messages. You have had to quite separate campaigns are really engaging with each other much of the time. For starts driving home his message in a bulldozer that was all we have to do is have brexit be over. Written to be out of the European Union by the end ofjanuary next year. Jeremy corbyn focusing on the domestic front, trying to end austerity, promising former money for the health service. In the past couple of days, it is become more like an Old FashionedElection Campaign with the vents colliding in from nowhere to rattle both campaigns. On one hand, yet the government facing very awkward questions about that photo that appeared of the young boy in the hospital and what they were doing about the nhs and borisjohnsons peculiar response we took the phone from the reporter and put it in his pocket. And Labours Health spokesman in a totally bizarre conversation with a former friend of his who mustve recorded it with the intention of leaking it in which he voices which he has privately from labour and voices which he has privately from labourand on voices which he has privately from labour and on the doorstep that Jeremy Corbyn is toxic in the position on brexit is causing real harm. So difficulty for both parties in this very last stage of the campaign. A couple of other things to ask you about. There was a time, feels like a very long time ago for the liberal democrats are suggesting that she could be the next Prime Minister. And now the lib dems are pretty good emphasis on trying to stop the conservatives from getting brexit through parliament by winning a majority. Here she is today. Former tory strongholds where liberal democrats are challenging and to people who live in those areas, if you have had a lot of liberal democrat input leaflets piling up in your kitchen table, let me tell you that its a place where liberal democrats can win and you can vote liberal democrat and get a liberal democrat mp and stop Boris Johnson getting his majority. We can start brexit and we can build a brighter future. Thank you very much and nicola sturgeon, leader of the scottish nationalist party, has a similar message. Do you think there is evidence this time that it could be different . Opponents try to work out how to most effectively try to manipulate or use britain passed the system to build a parliamentary resistance to the conservative party but it never worked effectively and theres a huge amount of talk among remain supporters and people who want to stop brexit about how to try and close the door to borisjohnson from getting a majority and that means trying to vote in a way that stops tory mps, particularly in wells they did back from maine and the referendum but currently have a tory mp. Also sorts of guides around in newspapers as well as the observer newspapers as well as the observer newspaper and many constituencies where there is saying that if there is tactical voting, then the tory could be defeated. It has not happened very successfully in the past, whether does this time, the enormity of brexit is an issue and it remains to be seen. We could be like the actor on the airwaves urging people to embrace tactical voting. We will see, we do not know. It is very volatile and this is still quite an unpredictable election and how much tactical voting there really is on the day. People outside the uk will be wondering this. This is a huge political issue that is dominated for three years in the liberal democrats admitted their number one cause. Pulling suggests that british people would like to remain in the eu and yet, the lib dems are slipping in the polls rather than making gains. How do we explain that . I think making gains. How do we explain that . Ithink the lib making gains. How do we explain that . I think the lib dems did not help themselves a few weeks ago when the policy became one of revoke, just ripping up the results of the referendum and saying that the eu just wanted to stay. If there were to find themselves running the country in government, that has never been likely because they are the third party in british politics. The fourth party after the snp. They wa nt the fourth party after the snp. They want a referendum but this is the co nsta nt want a referendum but this is the constant problem in the uk political system. When the elections come, the smaller parties, the third parties tend to get squeezed as people gravitate back to the two main parties and we seem to be seeing the same sort of momentum happening at this time. And that is one of the big problems. It is an irony that borisjohnson is big problems. It is an irony that Boris Johnson is quite big problems. It is an irony that borisjohnson is quite confident that he may yet have the majority at the end of this week because he seems to have largely scooped up the leave vote for my referendum because natural for us, leave vote for my referendum because naturalfor us, his brexit party leave vote for my referendum because natural for us, his brexit party has stood down against tory mps, and the remaining vote is fractured among three orfour remaining vote is fractured among three or four parties and that is going to pose a problem in delivering seats into parliament in enough numbers to deny borisjohnson a majority. But we do not know. We do not know this is going to play out but it is the fracturing of the remains of that is a problem. Thank you.
