Full legal experts have been testifying in a 2nd round of public hearings in the impeachment inquiry in the u. S. President donald trump 3 of the 4 constitutional law experts said trump committed an Impeachable Offense when he asked the ukraine president to investigate trumps political rival joe biden. Was called to testify before the u. S. Congress as Top Democrats try to lay the groundwork for formal charges against him before more lets cross to washington and correspondent all of us sell it all over what have these legal experts been saying. Well theyve given a pretty damning take on the findings that were presented by the Intelligence Committee yesterday wrapped up in a report and now handed over to the Judiciary Committee and one of the scholars nor feldman said that he believes that there is enough evidence for impeaching the president he believes that he abused the power off his Office Another scholar michael hart said that if were not. If what were talking about here is not impeachable then probably nothing else is but then of course the republicans also invited one legal scholar to testify here in the Judiciary Committee and he had a very different take he said although he doesnt believe that the phone call between trump and the ukrainian president the lenski was purrfect he also things that it doesnt deliver enough evidence to move forward in the impeachment inquiry so 2 very differing positions here. And that also reflects the position in the opinion of the american public. And what is the is the exact purpose of they series. Or their different phases and the 1st phase that was concluded yesterday was about collecting evidence in the Intelligence Committee and that evidence has now moved forward to the Judiciary Committee and the strategy here seems pretty clear they want now independent legal experts scholars of some of americas most are known universities to take a stance on these findings thats what we heard here today and so in the end again 2 very differing per specked of see are the democrats got what they wanted but they were republicans did so as well so they all will have their sound bites that are now running all of the networks here and presented to the adequate audiences were given by the we have now weeks in todays impeachment hearings what are going to be the next steps in the process. So this was the only hearing taking place in this week but of course within the next week the Judiciary Committee will focus considering articles off impeachment but its also worth mentioning that the at the end of this process its very unlikely that president tom will be impeached out of office due to a republican majority in the senate whats more likely is that voters will have a say in the end its the 1st time in American History that an impeachment inquiry happens that close to a federal election and now the democrats of course of very much hoping for a shift in the Public Opinion as until now both sides are staying very much behind the party lines of a salad in washington many thanks that her latest meeting in london have wrapped up by contentious summit marking 70 years since the founding of the military alliance they adopted a joint statement recognizing the challenges posed by china and waits to agreements on defense and spending but despite this proceedings have been marked by divisions and angry outbursts from donald trump and at times frustrations with the u. S. President were on full display. By the end of the meeting today like its where all smiles weve had a tremendous 2 days i think nato is roughly that its ever been a lot more money is being produced by a lot of countries and their enthusiasm about it trumps calls to members of the alliance to boost their military spending has added 130000000000. 00 to nato as budgets in just 3 years this is unprecedented it is making nato stronger made to remain still on the platform where north america on europe discuss the saw it and take actions to get there every day to protect almost a 1000000000 people. At 1st glance the need to leaders seem to be among friends but it wasnt all roses. One especially embarrassing moment was caught by chance on camera in the footage canadian british and french leaders seem to be mocking us president on all trumps long unpredictable press conferences. Thanks. To. The nature family is currently going through a rough patch not unlike any regular family ahead of the Holiday Season tensions have risen over financial contributions and alliances core values 70 years after its founding to 29. 00 member pluck is sure to have a long future ahead but as nato leaders depart from getting verse 3 celebrations in london it seems internal conflicts wont be going away anytime soon. They doubly as max hoffman has been following the conference from london and from there they sent us this assessment so it wasnt the car crash summit that many had feared it would be but that also means that the topics that caused that fear remain unresolved turkeys presence in Northern Syria unresolved still a problem for nato and also what a moderate my call the french president meant with his brain death comments still a problem of course the alliance has made progress militarily speaking many experts will confirm that at least in the last 5 years but politically this is still an alliance that is looking for solutions for many things 1st and foremost what are the values of these alliance can you have turkey in Northern Syria and have the same values as the european nations that have a completely different strategy in the region the simple answer is no but those problems were patched over for this leaders meeting for the sake of the 70th anniversary of the alliance but at some point nato will have to resolve those issues if it wants to continue being successful.
