With President Trump in london at an international summit, his opponents in washington have moved against him, with the next phase of the impeachment inquiry that has the potential to remove him from office. He has described it as an unpatriotic witch hunt, a one sided sham. But the latest report from the house of representatives, which is dominated by the democrats, claims there is overwhelming evidence that mr trump placed personal political interests above the National Interests of the united states, pressuring a Foreign Government to interfere on his behalf in next years president ial election. Please be warned there is flash photography in this report from peter bowes. Page after page the case to impeach donald trump. Overwhelming evidence of misconduct and obstructing according to the house intelligence committee, which is controlled by the democrats. After hearing from more than a dozen witnesses, the panel concluded that mr trump solicited the interference of a Foreign Government, ukraine, to benefit his real action. He put personal political interests ahead of the national interest. This is the result of a president who believes he is beyond indictment, beyond impeachment, beyond any form of accountability and indeed, above the law, and that is a very dangerous thing for this country, to have an unethical president who believes they are above the law. The white house slammed the impeachment enquiry is a one sided sham, which had utterly failed to produce any evidence of wrongdoing by President Trump. But the investigation goes on, moving to the Housejudiciary Committee which will consider specific charges, the articles of impeachment against the president. Again, the democrats are in control, and if as expected, the full house of representatives votes in favour of representatives votes in favour of impeachment, a trial could take place as early as next month in the senate, where the republicans are in charge. Its all in the house at the moment. And as i have said over and over again, if the house doesnt back act, then the senate will be in business with an impeachment trial. Donald trump has repeated his view that the impeachment enquiry is a hoax, being used by the democrats for political gain. But like it or not, and with the president still out of the country, the process is moving quickly. It bows, bbc news. Peter bowes. Live now to newark, newjersey. Professor sa har aziz is director of the centre for security, race and rights at Rutgers University law school. Good to talk to you, professor. This isa good to talk to you, professor. This is a significant political process. Its very significant, because donald trump is only the second president to experience, to face impeachment inquiries after Richard Nixon who resigned before the articles of impeachment were issued. And andrewjohnson and bill clinton we re and andrewjohnson and bill clinton were the only two president s who actually faced impeachment charges, although they were not convicted in the senate. Though this is most certainly a historical moment in us history and in us constitutional legal history. It still seems very unlikely that a trial in the senate, which is dominated by the republicans, that they would be a vote to impeach. But i guess the big play here is for the opinions of voters in the election next year. So the house is under a very tight legible because they dont want impeachment to lead the headlines in 2020 impeachment to lead the headlines in 2020 tight schedule, which is the Election Year for the next president. So what they are trying to do now is gain the trust of the republican voter base in the hope that perhaps they can get them either to switch sides during the elections or put pressure on republican senators and house members in terms of seeing that in fa ct members in terms of seeing that in fact donald trump has committed high crimes and misdemeanours and has violated the constitution pursuant to article two. Whats interesting is that the public hearings this week will bring forward constitutional law experts that will explain the process of impeachment, what qualifies as high crimes and misdemeanours under article two, which is arguably unusual insofar as making this case very public, rather than just proceeding to the articles of impeachment, which we anticipate will be issued early next week. Professor, there are a couple of new lines from this report, and they make them a bit harder to suggest that Rudy Giuliani was acting independently, he was in constant touch with the white house . Yes. We dont have the full report publicly, but i think the facts are clear that trump used his personal attorney, among other top aides to coerce and arguably extort the ukrainian president to open an investigation on his political rival in the upcoming president ial elections, joe biden, and his son hunter biden in exchange for releasing military assistance for ukraine at a time when ukraine desperately needed that military assistance because it was at war with russia. This is military assistance that congress had approved and appropriated. So this is really unprecedented and it isnt a partisan issue. Its really about the president putting his own political, partisan electoral interests ahead of National Security ina region interests ahead of National Security in a region of the world that is very sensitive and on countries that are very important to us interests in europe and Eastern Europe in particular. Professor sahar aziz, thank you very much. Thank you.

Divisions between nato leaders have been exposed, with President Trump accusing frances president macron of being nasty and disrespectful, for describing nato as brain dead. Mr macron defended his comments and highlighted differences with turkey, which is threatening to derail efforts to set up a new Missile Defence system. This report from our Diplomatic CorrespondentJames Robbins contains some flashing images. Buckingham palace and a Birthday Party for nato leaders to celebrate their military alliance and 70 years success keeping the peace through collective defence. Everyone on best behaviour for the queen, but nato is a family currently at war with itself. Frances president macron has been strongly critical of Donald Trumps isolationist role and called nato strategically brain dead. Today he stood by those remarks, even after mr trump rebuked him publicly. When you make a Statement Like that, that is a very, very nasty statement to make to, including them, to essentially 28 countries. I think that, you know, they have a very high Unemployment Rate in france. France is not doing well economically at all. In fact, the alliance faces another far larger threat to unity the military action by nato member, turkey, inside northern syria. Turkeys president erdogan is enraged natoisnt100 supportive of his fight against kurdish troops that he brands terrorists. But president macron completely rejects the turkish position. When i look at turkey, they now are fighting against those who fought with us, shoulder to shoulder, against isis. 70 years ago when nato was established it all felt so much simpler. The american led alliance faced a single enemy, the soviet union underjosef stalin. It was soviet communism which eventually collapsed. Nato survived, but now struggles to agree its future role. Nato is the most successful alliance in history, because we have been able to change when the world is changing. That is exactly what were doing again, and the fact is that were doing more together in this alliance now that weve done for many decades. But that sounds far too upbeat to those leaders who think the alliance has lost its way and needs to face up to developing threats. So, what are some of those future threats nato has to face . Well, still from russia and there is talk now of china, too, not an adversary, nato insists, but a worry, nevertheless. And there is concern about possible future Cyber Attacks on satellites in space. How would nato react to that . President trump is now claiming success, pushing other states to increase their nato spending and so reduce americas 70 share. But other splits over the way ahead wont be resolved in a few hours of formal talks tomorrow. James robbins, bbc news, buckingham palace.

The latest headlines the Us House Intelligence Committee has released its impeachment inquiry report, which accuses President Trump of putting personal gain ahead of the American National interest. The white house says there is no evidence of any wrongdoing. The co founders of google, larry page and sergey brin, are stepping aside from running the company they built into a giant of the digital economy. Elon musk, the billionaire founder of electric car company tesla, has told a court he did not literally call a british cave diver a paedophile. The tech billionaire, seen here, told the defamation trialjury he was simply defending himself from unprovoked insults. The spat with Vernon Unsworth took place as the diver was helping rescue young soccer players trapped in a cave in thailand. Sophie long has more. Well, the first Opening Statement came from Vernon Unsworth, the lawyer, the man leading his legal team. And he told the court all about that rescue that you talk about, the rescue that really captured the worlds attention, and how that despite that, when the world was celebrating, Vernon Unsworth had gone on television and given an interview in which he was asked about elon musks attempt to help, the submarine, the mini submarine he offered, and how he had dismissed it in that Television Interview as a pr stunt. He then talked about the tweets, the succession of tweets that came from elon musk later, and he said that the particular tweet in question in which he called Vernon Unsworth pedo guy was very damaging. He talked about how he felt the shame of being accused of being a paedophile, at what should have been one of the proudest moments of his life. We then heard the lawyer leading the defence, elon musks lawyer. He gave a very different picture of the same series of events. He said that this is a case about an argument between two men trading insults, and he said it was Vernon Unsworth who went on television first, and he made the first insult. And he said it was not an allegation of a crime, it was that an insult. He also said that the tweet was deleted. He said it was a joking, deleted, apologised for tweet. There was no damage caused. He went on to say that, instead of damage caused to his life, that was set up by Vernon Unsworths lawyers, actually it had expanded his social media profile, and he now needed an agent to deal with all the requests. So two different accounts of the events that led up to this case. A new study says the growth in global co2 emissions has slowed this year, largely because of an unexpected drop in the use of coal. The report issued at the Climate Change conference in madrid says the overall rise in Carbon Dioxide levels will be 0. 6 this year, down from 2. 1 in 2018, but experts are warning that the drop in coal is offset by the strong growth in natural gas and oil consumption. One of the consequences of Carbon Emissions is air pollution. It is thought to kill around 7 Million People across the world every year according to the World Health Organization. One group of african scientists is trying to alert people to the problem with a low cost sensor that allows citizens to monitor and record the air quality in their community. Solomon serwanjja reports from nairobi. Tina and her one year old daughter clarissa live next to a steel mill, ina clarissa live next to a steel mill, in a pollution hotspot on the of nairobi.

These low cost air pollution sensors are easy to install. They detect and record the amount of dangerous small particles in the air. That data is then transmitted to a website where it can be accessed by anyone for free. How data is accurate, which means anyone in any city across any african country will be able to use it, deploy it and get real time local data for their neighbourhoods, that they can use to partition governments to solve problems that they face around our pollution. That is what the Community Living next to this asphalt factory did after they started having breathing proble
