. >> anything to add to that, allan? >> i mean, look, you're going to see republicans continue to say that there is no there there because no deal took place, so in essence, you know, what are we even really talking about here? we saw in the testimony last week they managed to get a witness to say -- yovanovitch, they got her to say that president trump has not bribed someone. well, the reality is that this investigation is about whether the president was not trying to accept a bribe, but whether he was pushing someone else to do something. >> yeah. >> you know, we're going to see republicans continue to try to make this seem as if, you know, there's really not much there and we're going to see democrats do otherwise. >> exactly. guys, let's go to the second big headline which is this public hearing busy, busy week getting set to get under way this week. eight more witnesses scheduled to testify across three days and among them is u.s. ambassador to the eu gordon sondland whose testimony could corroborate the most explos

richard nixon he of course resigned when the proceedings were under way from one alan fischer to allan lichtman now in washington d.c. a professor of history at the american university mailed friend who was here 3 years ago of course for our election night coverage allan when donald trump was was elected and you said if it wasn't back then you said not long after that that allan donald trump will not only be elected but he will be impeached you would be feeling fairly confident about that now. it is endeavor to bull that donald trump will be impeached look the republicans are wrong the democrats have not been pushing for the impeachment of donald trump ever since he was elected quite the opposite the leadership of the democratic party particularly speaker nancy pelosi has said we're not moving to impeachment but then donald trump brought it down upon himself gratuitously by opening up this entire ukrainian scandal he forced the hand of a very reluctant democratic leadership but they will not have gone this far and the evidence is so strong that an impeachment is guaranteed as you say w

his appearance let's go live now to washington as alan fischer can tell us how significant is this allan. i would think the chances of john bolton giving evidence in front of an impeachment inquiry are still very slim that if you put in right in the end if a federal judge gives his approval now if there is going to be a court battle over whether or not john bolton can speak to the impeachment inquiry it could well drag on into the new year that's not something that the democrats want to do and so they're not going to take it to the court which will then go to appeal and then expect the supreme court to weigh in this is going to be dealt with by many people on the committee saying this is just another example of the white house obstructing is therefore we will add that to the articles of impeachment that would please the white house to a degree of course they're going to get the obstruction charge but it's understood that john bolton could be very damaging if he did give evidence in public that is because he is on record of being very critical of the way the donald trump handled negotiati

ok let's go back to washington that was the answer you were waiting for allan what did you make of that. well that's kind of interesting because that links same to impeachment anytime a senior official in the u.s. administration is asked the boat ukraine you know the underlying question is water boat impeachment and certainly the question there was that donald trump said as one point in his defense with ukraine he was holding back money because others were doing their share and the german foreign minister is saying look we put in 1500000000 euros so we were the question about the ambassador the ambassador evidence said that 3 times he said to my pompey oh you need a statement supporting the bastard or that was being recalled by donald trump at the behest of rudy giuliani and others. saying there that it was never raise so that's very interesting to go back to the original question that you asked about iran certainly thinks there is a window of opportunity here we know that they pulled out of the iran nuclear deal because they wanted to force around back to the table to restart negotiati

philippines killing 5 people it was the 3rd powerful quake to hit the region in 2 weeks our correspondent allan dogan joins me now from north to bartow on mindanao and of course jamil a day after the quake and the real enormity of the task ahead and the help that's needed is coming to light. that is exactly correct so hale i am right outside the district hospital in a town called north of about the province and behind me basically are patients who have been injured by the earthquake most of them are the elderly basically and they have were not able to run away in time but because the building that this district hospital may have been already condemned it isn't safe for patients to stay inside there are older people here there are also very very young children babies who are just about a month old who are slowly starting to get sick with fever cough and flu because of the difficult conditions another town we visited earlier through hail also showed a very difficult condition of people who have been displaced there's not enough food there's not enough water people are afraid of the constant hourl

s chief political correspondent allan crane is this monday evening good evening to you that fateful week of change started right there where you are talk to me tell our viewers about what happened there 30 years ago today. well a group of prominent actors theater directors artists members of church groups academics students some of them very very prominent well known others less so had wanted for some time to hold a protest and they actually did something very unusual in these german history they went to the authorities and asked for a permit and they got one absolutely unique for that for that regime at that time and nonetheless when they assembled here on that day november 4th 1989 they could not know how many people would show up and they also could not know how the authorities would react if there had impact been violent police intervention at protests and riots even elsewhere a month before and so many questions were open as they gathered here in fact between 500008 1000000 people showed up here on november 4th 1909 that was the largest demonstration that ever occurred in east germa

reassessment there's a lot going on right here that's never talked about in western media go ahead allan well indeed we just happened over the last. period of about 10 years but it is specially since 2014 is of the crisis in ukraine i think is crystallized russian doubts about the extent to which a partnership with the west is possible and what we saw after 2014 is that there you can take the russians by surprise you can never panic them and they will always adjust very rapidly and very effectively to changes in policy by the west and to aggressive moves by the west so what has happened is that the russians firstly adjusted their energy policy and they weren't going to let ukraine continue to sit on top of their transit pipelines and try to block or control russian gas exports to europe so the russians forged ahead with all these other part lines north street to turk stream which are birds now rapidly coming to an. end the end there being they have been they've been built and they've been successfully built and attempts to stop them have not succeed it and of course they have successfull

this is allan concerned not much has changed. this is all an internal matter for china, nobody else's business. what do you think of anything is likely to change as a result of this? well, it is hard to say. hong kong people are determined they want change, they wa nt determined they want change, they want freedom and they want, they have constantly referred to the five demands, the need for greater freedoms from beijing and the central government, steps towards universal suffrage, they certainly wa nt universal suffrage, they certainly wantan universal suffrage, they certainly want an independent enquiry into alleged police brutality, we have seen a lot of that on both sides, from the processes and a security side over the last five months. a lot of frustration and it is really unclear as to how that might be resolved. i was talking to one of the candidates who ran into consistency earlier this morning and she said there is real hope they will try to heal divisions like there is really no policy yet put forth. carrie lam has tal

essential question then about the political discourse that's taking place in britain and do you feel allan that the social fabric of britain has changed in the last 3 and a half years and the level of political discourse and i know we've now it's just been talking about we've seen this hugely radical perhaps the most radical and labor manifesto in peace time especially when it comes to public spending and ever perhaps do you feel like that level of political discourse is pushing and that the 2 major parties father to the ends of the political spectrum. it is really a sort of case of economic populism from the labor party against social populism from the conservatives and the one group the one we're going to zation that's been exasperated so far by both the major parties manifesto is the i.f.'s institute for fiscal studies he say the conservatives aren't willing to deal with the big structural issues in the economy and they're saying that labor's approach just isn't realistic in its ability to deal with those challenges in the face of a tightening budget for the for the u.k. government and

to bring us up to date allan this testimony which we've been watching just now it's a lot more. technical and a bit more dry i would say but what have you taken from and now. 2 really important things 1st of all in his opening statement devin nunes who is the leading republican on this committee said it was time to bring an end to the whole bring an end to this hearing said they should really just haltered know and they wanted to speak to the whistleblower at some point now they're not going to reveal who the whistleblower is that seems to annoy the republicans it's important to remember that this whole impeachment inquiry started we are told because they were so blower came forward 'd and said he'd heard from the number of people about this phone call where donald trump offered the ukrainian president a quid pro quo so why is that important because we had just in the last couple of hours 'd gordon and when asked was there a quid pro quo he said yes there are wars we'll come back to go and so on one minute laura cooper is important as well because she said as she was about to gi

i would like to introduce my colleague another attorney, allan lynch who is helping me tonight. i, of course representing the empire group the owner of 301 pine street. as you probably saw from the pictures, it's one of the most historic buildings in town. the former stock exchange. and it has in -- it houses the equinox health club and the earth bar restaurant. as you can see from the columns in the facade, it's one of the more beautiful places to hang out on the big steps below. and we believe the location is not compliant with the public works code and that d.p.w.'s permit issuance should be reversed. the most simple violation is not adhering to the 75-foot radius rule. the rule says that no food trucks can be within 75-foot radius of any restaurant as measured from the center line of the primary entrance to the restaurant. there is an exception to this rule stating the rule shall not apply if the restaurant does not have direct street access to its primary entrance. additional rule states that no mff may park within 50 street of the active street facing facade of a restauran

the driver of a 1999 honda sedan was going eastbound on allan rock basically heading towards the freeway direction. so goes across the intersection slams into a tesla that was crossing the intersection ricochet off of that tesla and then bounces into a dodge durango that collision so horrific you can see all the firefighters and the ambulances at the scene 3 people all all together in the honda sedan the driver and 2 passengers, the driver somehow manages to get out of the honda sedan and takes off from the scene leaving his 2 passengers behind just mangled inside the honda sedan that they had to be ripped out of there using the jaws of life they were rushed to the hospital unfortunately, one of those passengers died at the hospital the other still in critical condition. a lot of people despite the hour that it happened 10 o'clock last night a lot of witnesses were on the streets, including this person. other than those 2 people who had to be extricated from the honda sedan it appears that the driver of the tesla and the driver of the dodge durango pickup truck were not seriously injured

at this place is going to be very very bad and a more violent school be in the coming hours indeed allan the the issue really for the public at large is as you say they feel they haven't been protected by these militia groups by the u.n. and that all that anger invented at the u.n. but what have the government forces been doing is the u.s. position is to support the the national army of the country one of the national army being doing. the national army also this is another issues because they protested also accusing the national army saying that it's because of this un was supposed normally according to is mandate to support me so that they can contact the show in a military operation but this did not truly walk for a long time now so the army of the see this is where the militia and the rebels are taking 4 feet from the disorganization this army the other the lack of organization they have not been able to organize themselves these are v.t.c. rebels this is why the rebels are killing any time they want to take on attacking any area any time so the protesters population of billy not fee
