Impeachment Moves Forward.

After weeks of complaints by Republicans, the House voted to approve the rules for the impeachment inquiry against President Trump, opening the ground for public and televised hearings that could begin next week. This week, key White House figures are being called to testify, while the White House refuses to cooperate, stonewalls, and threatens witnesses. What’s the meaning of the vote? What are the next steps? What’s the public opinion mood?

Guest: Jose Lopez Zamorano, Reporter, Washington, D.C.

California Fires, Blackouts and the Power Future. As a devastating wildfire is contained in Northern California, new wildfires continue igniting elsewhere in the state, fueled by powerful Diablo Winds. And as tens of thousands who fled the fires are back at home and power is being restored, PG&E, the largest utility in the US, which announced that intentional blackouts could continue for ten years, is facing tough questions amid calls for the California state government to take the power over. Gov. Newsom asked the utility company for fundamental changes or risk state intervention and restructuring of the service.
