Trump impeachment inquiry: First public hearings begin

President Donald Trump is accused of improperly seeking help from Ukraine to boost his chances of re-election next year -- something he denies. So far all of the evidence has been given in private -- but it will now be broadcast live.

Also in the programme: Bolivian opposition senator Jeanine Áñez has declared herself interim president; and we speak to the Executive Editor of the New York Times, Dean Baquet, about the challenges, and responsibilities, of journalists in the era of President Trump.
