And the search goal thriller in the bundesliga leipzig hold dork meant to a draw in one of the most exciting games of the season. Bryan thomas great to have you with us later today u. S. Lawmakers will take an historic vote on whether to impeach President Donald Trump the democratic controlled house of representatives is expected to back the move which would trigger a trial in the senate on whether or not to remove the president from office under the thousands of demonstrators have been rallying across the country in support of the page went among them protesters in new yorks times square backing the move by House Democrats meanwhile President Trump attacked the impeachment proceedings in a furious 6 page letter to House Speaker nancy pelosi the president accused the top democrat of declaring quote open war on american democracy he also claimed the democrats were bringing suffering to the republic for their own selfish personal and partisan game our washington correspondent alexander phenomena has been following the story since of broken traces the past to impeachment a story today on capitol hill just a 3rd time the house of representatives will go to whether to impeach the president though that is expected to be strictly a paci lines of 2 weeks of contentious hearings unexpected bombshells and part if im fighting. It all started with a phone call a phone call in which President Trump asked president zelinsky of ukraine to investigate his main political rival democratic president ial hopeful joe biden and his son hunter i became increasingly aware of what followed was a congressional inquiry with a dozen witnesses testifying in public describing crimes dealings with ukraine as improper and in as roughly its all going to blow up and here we are one witness inside turned out to be Gordon Sunland the Us Ambassador to the European Union and so much trumped on arm he told the investigators there was indeed a quid pro quo in the works that president pressed the Ukrainian Government to get dirt on Joe Biden Jule an exchange for a meeting in the white house make at the same time you asked for military aid for ukraine was put on hold as to president direction everyone was in the loop so we followed the president s orders. Other witnesses added more damning details about Donald Trumps conduct time machine no evidence for the democratic majority in the house to move forward with the impeachment. The morning. The facts are contested the president abused his power for his own personal political benefit at the expense of our National Security by withholding military aid and crucial Oval Office Meeting in exchange for an announcement of an investigation into his political rival. Abuse of power and up struction of congress to charge and the democrats say that amounts to high crimes justifying impeachment however they havent convinced a single republican yet trumps party stance by the president to crying pietschmann as a political witch hunt you cant make your case against the president because Nothing Happened President Trumps high crimes threaten our democracy it so they dont like thats what this is about like the president they dont like the present supporters they dislike it so much theyre willing to weaponize the government the votes in the house will mark the climax of this summer moment in u. S. History if the majority of lawmakers approved the articles of impeachment which seems likely it will trigger a senate trial to determine if the president is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors and should be removed from office. At trial President Trump seems to be gearing up for he expects to be exonerated by the republican led senate and hopes impeachment will backfire on his rivals. There was nothing done wrong to the power of that. One does not charge is an embarrassment to this country. The controversy has already fired up for. General Public Opinion it split over the matter whatever the outcome what is happening in washington right now like the hyper partisan divisions in american politics. Well the United States and germany are on a collision course over a Controversial Energy project both houses of the u. S. Congress have backed sanctions against companies building the german sponsored boards for him to gas pipeline under the baltic sea this link will transport russian gas to germany is supposed to start in the coming months the u. S. Claims the pipeline will give russia too much political leverage over Europe Germany insists the project is vital for its Energy Security European Countries affected by u. S. Sanctions could take retaliate torrie measures. So how might germany and europe respond if hit with sanctions by the u. S. Congress are Political Correspondent has brought us here to talk about that good morning hans what Companies Might be hit by these potential u. S. Sanctions well initially its really only one of 2 companies that specialized in laying pipelines on the seabed this is one Swiss Company and one Italian Company but they are so specialized if they are spread pretty much no other Companies Worldwide can stand in for them can do those kind of work so if they are stuck to then the power from project is very likely to be stopped and obviously have follow on effects on a large number of Energy Companies ok now germany saying this project is essential for its national Energy Security how would respond to sanctions the most direct response has come from the German Foreign minister who is insistent that. An acceptable interference interference is not going to be accepted the European Commission has responded in a similar way but at the moment one is still trying to keep this on a kind of diplomatic level rather than escalating the language ok thats proving difficult though the u. S. Says that this. Germany in europe far too dependent on russian gas supplies why do german politicians not share the assessment in Washington Well the argument on the german side and in fact on the european side is that this is a mutual dependency. Germany of course is getting more gas from russia through this pipeline but at the same time russia is gaining an additional income which is very important by selling this to europe a very important for the russia. Financially very strongly in addition one has to say this is not only for germany the gas pipes run on land continuous south into europe towards the Czech Republic towards all stray and italy so it is really a european project and all of these countries are very much in favor of the gas being delivered ok they are arent they and that underscores really the importance of the discussion here in berlin right now that this disagreement presents too much of a liability. Well we have to say that thats relationship is already tense ever since the president came into office that there have been threats of various sanctions various imposed broke various tariffs on both sides and so on so this is going to get probably a lot worse as a result of this decision by the American Congress at the same time there is an attempt at the moment still to try and resolve this in some sort of diplomatic way people here in germany are also saying that there is an American Interest behind americas interest in selling gas to europe and as a result there is some kind of economic dealing going and going on in the background as well as ever hans thanks so much for bringing us up to date lets get you briefed now some of the other stories making the news today chrysler and preshow manufacture a p. S. A. Group have announced that their boards have signed a binding deal to merge these 2 automakers the company said the new group will be led by p. S. A. C. E. O.

China has unveiled the 1st Aircraft Carrier built completely in china president xi jinping took part in the commissionaire commissioning ceremony of the shandong the ships launch comes as the naval rivalry between the u. S. And china increases especially in the south china sea. This is deja vu news live from berlin still to come on the show. We reported on a life changing opportunity for disadvantaged children in mexico an orchestra for those who never had the chance before. But 1st the United Nations has been urging rich countries to do more to tackle the worldwide refugee crisis speak is the 1st Global Refugee Forum in geneva u. N. Secretary general antonio good terrorist said that the world should be grateful to nations which have welcomed in large numbers of refugees but that gratitude was not enough i urge you to be bold and concrete in the pledges to make this is a moment for him. He said moment to jettison a model of support that too often left refugees for their kids with their lives on holes confined to camps just scraping by and able to flourish. It is a moment to build a more equitable response so that egypt rises through a sharing of responsibility or terrors also criticized what he called a hostile political environment for posing a threat to Asylum Seekers one example of this can be seen in the west african country of the share with a recent increase in the number of migrants from africa to europe the e. U. Moved to shut down some of the main transit routes through. Brussels provided support for various military which now patrols the countrys borders since then the number of margarets passing through the country has sharply decreased but Human Trafficking while it remains a lucrative business in places like august is seen as a gateway to north africa. W. s mario milla travel to argue as were many claim pressure from the you is making for the situation for migrants even more dangerous for nearly 30. Brought people across the border from i got us into libya he never thought he was doing something criminal. Like this who had taken the whole its not true that we are socalled human traffickers and we are deceiving people its also not true that we treat them in humanely or badly. Europes politicians have demonized him as a criminal smuggler but here people like him used to be called poseurs and their work was considered the most normal thing in the world why should it be criminal to bring people from a to b. Most asks for centuries the desert city of atlantis has profited from people passing through from west to north africa and search of work but this stopped in 2015 when the European Union signed agreements with several transit countries to curb migration to europe. Because of that suddenly became unemployed 6000 other former smugglers in asia shared his fate store and hotel owners who used to live from the travellers had no income. To reproduce even though migration decreased it never stopped say human rights organizations such as Doctors Without Borders this week even though the laws been in force in 2015 the bigger issue never stopped and they will never stop oh if you could doors to the radiation they really use other doors so what we see is the way green small compared to the past they are much more vulnerable why because everything has to be undercover in the clan the city hidden we managed to meet a smuggler who still active now his job is illegal if he gets caught you risk several months in jail ever since the military started patrolling the borders he tells us scenes like this one are getting more and more common. Because if you have to lets say im a driver transporting migrants when suddenly the military shows up. Then i want the migrants out of the car just down the road and tell them to wait there until i come back and i just leave and they die there there are many such cases. Its very rare that drivers actually come back the un suspects at least twice as many people die on their way to the mediterranean than in the mediterranean itself while these people who despite these dangers make the Journey Towards europe. We are close to the socalled get away at the border of the tunnel. This is where migrants are being hidden by a smuggler who brings them across the Sahara Desert to the migrants stay here until the smuggler has enough of them for one transport and then the dangerous and sometimes deadly journey begins. A clay court yard under the open sky there are hundreds of my grans waiting in places like this across the city. One of them is. A student from guinea he has tried to leave 3 times each time he was picked up by the military on the libyan border and the route through the desert is not good libya and the mediterranean not good but what else can i do for. As a migrant from guinea was man but he has little chance of receiving the right to stay in europe but that doesnt stop him. Although i want to go to europe i hate europe why do i hate europe because europe cant exist without Africa Africa is rich with resources like diamonds and uranium but who benefits from these resources. Europe is where these Young Africans dream of living and although the chances of actually getting there are slim for them giving up and going back home is not an option. Its to the bundesliga now and on tuesday and i proceed dortmund hosted Legal Leaders are the leipzig next meryl from did have you supporters here for that matter how did things go at the top of the table and counterpoint you by the way yeah good really i mean bright it was set out to be a crack we talked about yesterday 1st against 81000 fans in that packed story in a stadium sorry and dortmund and lights and havent lost since october and the lights a coach however youre not just one has not had a lot of luck against open lets see how if at this time. You see another goldman call this a title 6. 0 the problem he never won in dortmund is a coach true to form the host dominated the early running and they trade in sam shows shot was blocks reprise was only temporary union vitals right foot sort of that. If i go back in dormans midfield feeling much more i. Dont mean were in control and turning on the style sun sure we can at the heart of things european brands with the fancy footwork making geometry look cool to nail 34 minutes go on. Like 6 best chance of the half came just before the break tipped over by rome on. But he soon went from hero to villain 2 minutes into the 2nd half spiderman misjudged his leap with catastrophic consequences. Team event was the grateful recipient hed never scored against dortmund until today. Good things come in pairs the saying goes it was certainly true savannah 4 minutes later he kept his composure to equalise off to geometry man branch core design goals all wrong. The pendulum instantly swung back into options favor Marco Royce Cross to sam sherry the englishman smashing in his goal in 7 games. But even dortmund actual super hero isnt invincible he limped off and leipsic grout that chance again with a little help from burkey patrick shit fired in his 3rd of the season. A breathless encounter had reached its end 33 the final score of men still hasnt won in dortmund but this will feel like a success. Max whats your take on this a looks like just gave this one away yeah i think lives it will be a lot happier after being down to another half time the dome and defense just gifted it i mean we saw burkey there making mistakes but also just the rest of the team just not Strong Enough mentally and before the season started i thought i had a real crack at the tide so ive got to sort of ricin my prediction it just looks like that same mental frailty is there whereas lights a a lot of mental composure that come back from 2 no down away from home a lot of focus a lot of concentration what stood out for you. Games well braman actually hosted minds and to be fair going into the 2 teams that are struggling actually only 11. 00 game since mid september but mines also not doing too well there were plenty of goals in this one but only for one side. Dont be fooled by the look of pure exhilaration on these faces these teams have been shocking to watch all season in fans welcome minds to the visa study on for a game which promised little in the way of goals or excitement but how wrong that full cost would prove to be the goals began raining down just 10 minutes in. Grove enquiries on handing minds to leave with this composed finish. Before the type of only goal we can all get behind graeme and neil smail kibitz volleying beyond his own keeper the post and your ipad link is back finishing the job hang those heads in shame gentleman. The 3rd arrive just before the 20 minute mark quite on slotting home again to make it free. Of. Offside coles rightly waved away as they get stormed further into the lead. And the swede completed a 1st half hat trick in the 38th minute quite on 7th strike of this point his League Campaign arriving at the back post to old but still the free points for the visitors. Asia on fairly destroyed late in the 2nd half wrapped up proceedings the frenchman off the mark in only his 2nd appearance this one is league season. A cool finish from the big man adding to the home side she may be a ship. Braman fans had seen enough of to make an early start on their christmas wrapping someone will be asking sensor for a new scuff this year 5 nil the final score braman schooled in their own backyard 5 star might get the points. 5 games tonight what is a table look like going into a big night of matches yeah i mean. Tables incredibly tight lets take a look at the top i mean leipsic on top now with a little bit more of a cushion although still will play in only against part of the one who are the worst in the league dortmund could be leapfrogged by shell and even by in munich but freiburg just below by on that have been a tricky team for the reigning champions in the past so i think were going to see a lot of movement tonight and early game is going to be live accusing against half to 2 teams with opposite trajectories leverkusen kind of struggling at the minute has a off of the hiring of youre going klinsmann on that new coach bounce that reinvigorated the squad like i say freiburg combine is really the one to watch out for but i think both spoke another great one another tops and so i asked whether those teams will really affect the table ok well look at all that movement that youre anticipating tomorrow no doubt max thanks for that well music can be a powerful force in peoples lives for example in mexico where a committed teacher generous dollars and dedicated children have turned life around for families living in poverty heres a look at an orchestra for children whove never been given a chance. Its the moment just before the performance when excitement replaces nerves and the audience waits expectantly. This is Rosie Collins favorite moment but her journey here has been anything but easy. But i mean music saved me because before i had big problems with my family. Rosie collins grew up in extreme poverty in a mountainous area near mexicos via de bravo her family looks back on difficult times her father is a former alcoholic instead of money hed bring home booze and anger.
