president, and it did not, there was no violation. the only time russia tried to interfere with our election is when barack obama was president. barack obama and joe biden are not being asked why they stopped russia from interfering. that is not being asked, but president trump has stood up to rush up. president trump stood up to russia with ukraine and his standing with ukraine against russia. .e sold the missiles all the times the democrats brought witness after witness that were supposed to be the star witness, they were asked can you name an impeachable offense, not one. can you name any bribery? not one. if they go forward with impeachment not because there is evidence, but the constitutional standard, but because they are afraid to get reelected. and you have heard democrats say exactly that. they are not impeaching the president because they cannot listen impeachable offense but because they are afraid he will get reelected. that is the abuse of power. speaker pelosi, adam schiff, and her counterparts have been abusing the power of impeachment because they are afraid donald t

promoted by russia to help his reelection campaign. president trump abused the power of his office by conditioning two official acts to get ukraine to help his reelection. the release of hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid that nation desperately needed and a white house meeting with an ally trying to fend off russian aggression. in so doing, he undermine our national security and jeopardize the integrity of our next election. he does so, still. president's of the misconduct is on overwhelming and uncontested. how could it not be when the president's own words on july 25 "i would like you to do us a hisr though," lay bare intentions's willingness to sacrifice the national security for his own personal interest. and when the president got caught, he committed his second impeachable act -- obstruction of congress of the variability to make sure that none -- no one is above the law, not even the president of the united states. the evidence is every bit of strong that president trump has obstructed congress fully, without precedent, and without basis in law. if allowed to stan

everything was precisely planned structure. featuring tom supporting roles to the freedom of russia. and featuring a lead role like you've never seen before let me be clear with you. for that matter 7 year itch of the ends justify the means. to those witnesses starts december 13th on d w. n one. this is t w news coming to you live from closer to impeachment after months of investigations democrats in the u.s. announce the charges against president. they accuse him of abuse of power and obstructing called gris he calls it a witch. also coming up more tremors at the volcano in new zealand the activity is hampering efforts to retrieve bodies supposed chilled on monday and fueling fears that another eruption could be imminent. tensions rise between moscow and berlin.

russia investigation. democrats in red districts are wondering how to proceed. and by the way, the russians also happen to be visiting. it has been a big day. it is a big night. i want to start at the white house with cnn's jim acosta. how is the president feeling tonight about all of this? do we know? >> reporter: anderson, i think we have a sense. he's at a rally right now in pennsylvania. he said that his supporters should not lose sleep over these articles of impeachment. he said that these articles of impeachment are the lightest and the flimsiest he's ever seen before. and you're essentially getting the same takeaway from people inside the administration, inside the white house. i talked to a senior administration official just a short while ago who said, listen, the president was unbothered by this. when he was spotted leaving the white house just a short while ago, as he was heading out the door to go to this rally in pennsylvania. despite all of that, despite those claims that he's not concerned about this, the president is continuing to mislaid tmi mislead the public abou

. u.s. president donald trump says he looks forward to more dialogue with russia after meeting with foreign minister sergey lavrov at the white house nuclear arms reduction was a key focus on those talks are meeting with u.s. officials triggered a wave of democrats accusations of trumped russian leaks in the foreign minister brushed off as if. he might as well throw his asians against russian diplomats involving the case with the athletes and call for our criminal bill. which doesn't pushes forward with its new pension reform which has already led to days of mass demonstrations civil unrest and strike action. a very good morning to you you're watching r.t. international with me. our top story this hour a suicide bombers detonated his car outside one of america's main military outposts in afghanistan at the airfield local media report a powerful blast hit a medical facility located in the immediate vicinity of the airbase is main gate at this point is unclear if there are any casualties initial reports however suggested the suicide bomber had targeted a u.s. military convoy the ameri

, they were also pursuing a counterintelligence and criminal investigation into russia interfering in the 2016 presidential election and that crucial question of whether russia had any help from the american side when they did that. in the context of that ongoing investigation by the fbi, president trump by that point had repeatedly pressured fbi director james comey to promise him loyalty, and comey would not do that. he demurred from that. he took careful note of all his interactions with the president, but he told the president he wasn't going to be loyal to him, not in the way the president wanted. the president then fired the fbi director james comey. that ultimately would lead to robert mueller being appointed the special counsel and all the rest of it. but it is still amazing that the very day after trump fired fbi director james comey, the day after firing comey that's the day he brought that guy, russian foreign minister sergey lavrov as well as the russian ambassador to the united states into the oval office. i mean, these have been lavrov's two visits to the oval office in

of your work, it brought you into conflict in a larger sense with the russian moscow agenda. russia is the biggest backer of president assad. all the digging deep in the other data points suggest that this was an attack launched by the syrian military. that is what moscow didn't wa nt to military. that is what moscow didn't want to hear. 0fficials began to raise questions pretty early on about the credibility of bellingcat. is that why you made a specific decision to go after the russians? no. i think it's partly because of how investigations developed as a field because initially it was around conflict in syria with this community informed around it and thenit community informed around it and then it was an age 17 in 2014 which had a russian element and because that leading to questions about russia's involvement in ukraine which already existed but because it's an open source community focused on the conflict in eastern ukraine which wouldn't have happened ifan age 17 ukraine which wouldn't have happened if an age 17 wasn't shot down, more and more stuff was discovered, it was a c

of european nations and we've had this across the world i mean we've had riots in russia and in the us has been talk about the pension issues that we have here on the funded is that what should have happened is when pensions were instituted they should have been indexed to life expectancy then we would have no problem i mean you wouldn't have riots and people said ok we'll baby's life well that will be you know working and do your baby will be working until they're 70 or 80 nobody writing about what their babies had to do they're writing about themselves now or in them in the near future so the underpinning of the problems in france was the failure to index life expectancy to pensions and people living the pensions you were supposed to have a pension for a couple of years after you retired and states can revive that we simply called provide across the world for 2030 years on pensions and we could do a whole show about both sides of that argument for sure but right now we're out of time which. british american business association thank you so much for joining us today. well japan is

with the russia witchhunt, right? then, the inspector general report showed that the obama fbi obtained secret warrant to spy on my campaign based on a phony foreign dossier paid for by crooked hillary clinton and the dnc. right? [crowd booing] pres. trump: the fbi failed to disclose the nature of the political hit job to the pfizer court. they hid it, they deceived it, and they lied. the dossier was written by a discredited foreign agent who , quote, "desperate that donald trump not get elected and was passionate about him not being the united states president." what's this? folks they spied on our , campaign, okay? they spied. [crowd booing] pres. trump: never happened before in the history of our country. and we are really wise to it. we are wise to it. the inspector general filed that the fbi's spying application contains 17 errors and omissions commonly known as lies and deceit. when the fbi -- and you have great people in the fbi, but not in leadership. you have not good people in leadership. you haven't had. when the fbi uncovered evidence showing that we did absolutely

totality, we are making progress with china. nobody is talking about trump appeasing russia. if anything he has been tougher than any president since reagan on russia. then we have a trade deal in north america. when you look at impeachment, we are not talking about quid pro quo. there was bribery then there was treason. now there are no high crimes or misdemeanors at all. it's obstruction of congress, you can put anything under that rubric that you wish. horowitz' report was not supported on motive by his own evidence. you can see the reaction to it where the democrats are now having slight defections in the impeachment vote maybe. and nancy pelosi's meltdown when she said don't mess with me and joe biden's psycho dramas of the week. when schiff starts to data mine the phone calls of his own colleagues and nadler falls to sleep during the hearings. there is some kind of reaction to this, and trump is pretty much in the driver's seat. >> we are two days in. as i was reacting, you were talking about a bad week. it looks to me like he's wing on every single front no matter what th

bluff, that they won't put on evidence about burisma and biden, about ukraine instead of russia. >> of course they will. >> that lindsey graham and these guys have too much pride to put up so much piffle. >> they're going to try everything. >> you want to bet on this too? >> um, i think that they're going to have a little bit more decorum in the senate, but i wouldn't put it past him to try some tricks, a little sneakery. a just as i said nancy pelosi is smart politically, i think mitch mcconnell is just as smart. >> he's going to have courthouses named after him all over this country because the judges he put in place. you remember our other bet, right? >> we have a bet. we did it on the radio. we didn't do it on -- >> it counts by the way. >> i still think the president is going to testify. >> don lemon thinks the president of the united states is going to testify. >> i do. >> under oath. >> i do. >> in the senate. >> i do. >> and we bet dinner on it. >> i do. we shall see. see you. good night. >> look at his face right now, and i want you to remember the look on his face because he
