You're listening to the world news from the b.b.c. Japan's Foreign Ministry has demanded the early release of 5 fishermen detained by Russian authorities on Tuesday officials said the men and their boats were seized by Russian border guards and taken to the island of couldn't surely which is under Russian control Japanese media reported that the men had been fishing for octopuses under an accord between the 2 countries but were intercepted over alleged discrepancies between the volume of their catch and what they had recorded in their boats log books President Trump has described impeachment proceedings against him as an attempt to coupe by Democrats accusing them of declaring war on America's democracy in a 6 page letter to the Democratic Party's speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi Mr Trump compared his treatment to that of the victims of the 17th century Salem Witch Trials Peter Bowditch has more the president has repeatedly refused to for example allow some of his senior aides in the White House to be witnesses in to be cross-examined to allow relevant documents to release from the White House so it has been very one sided so far but it seems by the president's choice and this letter really is quite angry in turn in fact a lot of people here might have described it as a letter on White House headed paper that simply reads like a collection of his angry tweets a fight at a prison in Panama left at least 12 inmates dead and several others injured police said they had confiscated 8 guns when they managed to enter the jail and more evidence has been found off the Mexican coast that could confirm how the Spanish conquered Mexico 500 years ago after a 2 year search of the ocean floor off the coast of the crew state Mexican and u.s. Archaeologists have found 2 on ship anchors which they believe belong to Spanish ships. B.b.c. News. Thanks a news good morning and welcome this news day from the b.b.c. World service to the Balkans and now in suture a good morning good to have you with us coming up a kind of as a largest provider of health tests so is the records of half of the country's population have been hacked We'll tell you a bit more about that later on of the program we've got to get in touch with us plus 4 fourths of a 7 page 62050 page 5. We sell to the u.s. Where later today Donald Trump is likely to become a 3rd president in American history to be impeached that is to be charged with obstruction of Congress and abuse of power and not surprisingly he's not happy this has been a total sham from the beginning everybody knows it I've never seen the Republican Party so you know we've got far less about it you know you're 100 percent on the mark the impeachment will happen in the lower house of Congress known as the House of Representatives which is controlled by the Democrats they accuse him of pressuring Ukraine to investigate Democratic rival Joe Biden ahead of the 2020 elections as well as obstructing Congress during his investigation into his affairs we can speak now to Judea Manchester He's a reporter for The Hill in Washington d.c. Good morning or good evening where you are Julia Good morning good evening to you what can we expect tomorrow then it's pretty it I mean it's done and dusted really isn't it the Democrats surely they they will vote to impeach him. Absolutely Nancy Pelosi has whipped enough Democratic votes in the house together to impeach President Trump we saw that a number of moderate Democrats who were elected in districts that President Trump won in 2016 but they were elected in 2018 they were on the fence for a little bit but now most of them have come on board in favor of impeachment so it's really no question at this point that he will be impeached However there will be roughly 6 hours of debate over impeachment tomorrow so this could be a very long process you know to get it. Close it has structured all of her Congress all of her caucus the Democratic Caucus to be present right at 9 am when that those hearings began so it will be definitely be a very historic dramatic day in Washington but we know that President trouble obviously is not happy about this he has written a letter to Nancy Pelosi comparing this to the Salem witch trials that he's. The victim of a political coup so lots of drama erupting here in Washington explain for us why it's so historic and significant given we know what the eventual outcome is going to be that they will then move on to a trial and in the Senate which is controlled by the Republican policy though will decide he's not guilty and that's the end of it absolutely it's historic Just because he is the 3rd president to go through this you know in the last time we saw this was about 20 years ago when Bill Clinton was impeached but we've seen that throughout his presidency President Trump has gone back and forth with Republicans but Democrats excuse me on a number of issues but it was really this phone call to Ukrainian president Golda Meir's Alinsky asking him to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden that's really kind of that really was the final straw that broke the camel's back in terms of impeachment so you know I think this is very historic in the fact that it really leads together with the 2020 presidential election you're seeing and number of senators on the campaign trail who are running for president Elizabeth Warren Bernie Sanders who will be called back to Washington the campaign trail to preside over a Senate trial here also Joe Biden who's running for president who is very much at the sound center up this this is very much a leading into all aspects of political what life and just very quickly is there any polling evidence to suggest that the American public about the outcome of this impeachment that is going to affect how they might vote we don't know some long way away but but how they might vote at the end of next year we see a number of different polls come out that show that the American public is pretty evenly divided there was a Fox News poll that showed roughly 54 percent of Americans who are favor of the teaching of removing President Trump from office and we've seen other polls that suggest that maybe 48 or 49 percent of Americans are in favor of that outcome so they're pretty evenly divided so have 2020 what a lot of pollsters will be focused on is how. Independents or swing voters will throw in 2020 and how impeachment could impact that though and how democratic actions in the House could in Sonic could impact that though it's fascinating stuff Thank you Judy Egeria Manchester there reporter for The Hill in Washington d.c. So if as expected he's impeached or charged the trial will move on to the Senate which is controlled by his party the Republicans plus 2 thirds of to vote against him to remove him from office which is highly unlikely that you've justice of the Supreme Court will preside over the trial one of its leading liberal judges as Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg but in order b.g. And she's been speaking to the B.B.C.'s Reza ball in front of an audience at the New York Public Library where we shall see what this process turned into. Can you do you think they should be impartial the house indict and listen it tries to as it should to try or be impartial Of course that's the job of the judge but you will be very aware that there are senators who are already saying before the impeachment gets to the Senate on the trial at this in the Senate they've already made their minds up but problematic we'll have a judge said. That. Would be disqualified from sitting on the case so if a senator says I've already made my mind up in the trial doesn't even exist at the moment there is no accountability is. My own Chief Justice Rehnquist put it very well he said. The day. Stops being impartial and starts to do things to please to home crowd that's the day that churches step down you would urge senators to be impartial. That's the role in which the Constitution cast the Senate for this purpose. The triers one who is. A trial. Must be impartial What's your reading of the of the Constitution in the context of the president of the United States saying that the Supreme Court should stop this impeachment when the president is not a lawyer or train and. A canadian Laboratory says hackers may have access to personal records of up to 15000000 people that's almost half of the country's population they called Life lives that kind of his largest provider of health tests they say customer names addresses e-mails and other person information may have been compromised the privacy commissioners in Ontario and British Columbia say to hackers have demanded a ransom to retrieve the data and that the company paid the ransom life lobs of say the risk to customers was low Let's find out more from Marcello Bernardo our reporter from News 113 or radio based in Vancouver British Columbia good to have your news day 1st of all you had a chat with the c.e.o. Of life labs Charles Browns What did he say. I want Charles Brown said that obviously they're very sorie about this happening and they're doing everything they can to correct what went wrong they have still have confirmed now that the compromised information could include names addresses e-mail addresses Longet logon information passwords date of birth health care numbers and even lab test results but as far as we know British Columbia patients where I am in Vancouver have not had their lab test results compromised we still have to wait and see for final Vesta geisha to determine just how far reaching this was because it could be as many as 15000000 patients that have had their information breach but as far as we know we're not sure how far it goes because the ransom was paid and Charles Brown is is suggesting that the r.c.m.p. And the provincial police in Ontario are now taking over the investigation to try to find out who did this and how they can possibly recover that ransom money talk to me about the payment of the Russell Morgan or ball the process while Mr Brown wasn't very forthcoming when I asked him a vote what what ransom was paid or how much money was paid because he said police have asked him not to disclose that information it's part of the investigation what he did say was that he's he felt that they had to pay it because they were being denied access to the information that had been accessed by these computer hackers so the cyber attack was strong enough that they felt that the only way they could recover that information was to pay the ransom or pay some money we're not sure how much was actually paid and they were able to retrieve the security of that data and now they have to try to I guess make everybody who may have had their information compromised feel comfortable knowing that changes have been made to ensure this doesn't happen again I wonder if they haven't yet sure of that it won't happen again because if they pay the ransom How do they know that those same Hopkins won't release that information. Well Charles Brown says that they had cyber experts come in and definitely have reviewed their systems and upgraded them so that they have put in a lot of new safeguards to ensure that this doesn't happen again he was very careful not to say that it won't happen again I did ask him about that but he said that anyone who feels that their information has been compromised will now be offered a free year protection which includes dark web monitoring and identity theft insurance so not clear how customers will be able to deal with that because we've spoken to some people who said they tried to call the toll free number that they were given to try to get information and they were able to access that and told to call back tomorrow just because the number was being flooded with people calling in to find out if their information had been compromised and you've also been speaking to the British Columbia Health Minister who say that they've known this for a while for a boss 6 weeks why did they wait that long before publish an adult talking about going public with it. Well he's essentially saying they needed time to figure out just what had happened what had been compromised and so our health minister his name is Adrian Dix and he said that the only reason there was a delay was to ensure that the information that hadn't been compromised wouldn't be compromised and that information that was protected would be protected so he's defending the 6 week delay saying that he was aware of it on October 28th our privacy commissioner was notified November 1st and now they're working towards making sure that anyone who's information may have been compromised is now safe to use life labs again good to talk to muzzle of an auto thank you very much a reporter for News 1130 radio based in Vancouver and British Columbia it's news there from the b.b.c. World Service and procedure ample with you live from London where it's 70 minutes past 3 in the morning top stories in an extremely rare high profile right case in Japan a journalist has been awarded $30000.00 in compensation for suffering after she accused the former broadcast of attacking silence for a minister has told the b.b.c.

World Darts Championship the English player fought back to get a 3 to a victory every Ted Everts in the 1st round it Alexandra Palace in London so more for Mandy 25 minutes you may remember that one of our top stories this morning is the ongoing disagreement in the Republicans and Democrats over impeaching President Trump but Andrew Wood our business presenter the vaccine agreed on something Kevin they've. Yeah they've agreed on spending measures for the rest of the financial year because otherwise if they hadn't then basically the other the government was facing the u.s. Government was facing a shutdown were running out of money but the at the end of the week you may remember earlier this year the government was shut down because Democrats and Republicans couldn't agree on how much the spending budget should be it was shut down for the longest ever I mean there's a lot of brinkmanship I think involved in setting the budget and although the Republicans and the Democrats in the House of Representatives passed this measure they didn't agree on absolutely everything but some of the key things that they did agree on overall a $50000000000.00 increase in the federal budget compared to last year that will include a 3 point one percent pay increase for government employees both military and civilian an increase in general in funding for the military and also $25000000.00 for research into into gun violence where there was more of disagreements of course comes over president trumps famous war member the wall that's supposed to keep out immigrants to be built along the border with Mexico Congress has so far only approved $1400000000.00 for war construction again but sir President Trump still will be able to if he wants to reallocate money from other other parts of the federal budget So when could could there be another u.s. Government shutdown Well of course actually I mean that if the Senate doesn't pass this then it could be at the end of the week but that seems very unlikely that the Senate is going to do that controlled by Republicans. The next state to look at his September the 30th next year that's the end of the financial year they'll have to agree a new budget by then for the following financial year which will be a little bit closer to the American president to elections Oh available be interesting to watch Thank you Angie that's our business presenter Andrew Wood. Taiwan's foreign minister has called on the free world to stand behind the island's democracy as it faces increasing diplomatic and economic pressure from China in an interview with the b.b.c. As your correspondent report when true Tehran's foreign minister Joseph who said recent events in Hong Kong prove that bridging so-called One Country 2 Systems model had been a complete failure and will never be acceptable full time one the Chinese government face a very seriously they in dealing with Hong Kong issue on the one hand they are not able to promise the porter those free election or other demands or to win an independent investigation on the police violence and on the other hand if the Chinese government decides that it's going to much and they want to move their force into Hong Kong and deal with the situation militarily many people in the world with agree with me that was signified the cold hole failure of that one country to assess a model so they are caught in the situation that the whole consideration is going to deteriorate and it's a failure of the one country for some model or military solution that would also signify a failure of that one country to assess a model so they've got one eye on Taiwan when they're thinking about Yes Well yes and after. The violence and protest activities in Hong Kong in the last 3 months the public opinion surveys suggest that close to 90 percent of the Tao in these people will reject one country to some model so it's very clear the people in Taiwan see what's happening in Hong Kong and we don't want to accept what country 2 system model when you look at China today it's difficult not to come to the conclusion that the Chinese Communist Party is biding its time building up its strength and certainly under the leadership of Xi Jinping now has a and a valid intent to. Force unification of Taiwan with China in his lifetime. It looks like it is that way and we are working very hard in trying to maintain the status quo trying to maintain peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and if you look at the key players like my to countries like the United States major you countries or Japan in except I think they understand the situation rather well it is China that is trying to chip away the cu
