BBC World Service - BBC OS, Impeachment inquiry: US intelligence chief testifies

Lawmakers question President Trump's intelligence chief over whistleblower complaint

A letter from a whistleblower has just been released which accuses President Trump of using his position to ask for foreign interference in the 2020 presidential election. Mr Trump allegedly asked the Ukrainian president to launch a corruption investigation against his Democratic rival, Joe Biden. Mr Trump called it a hoax. Lawmakers are questioning Mr Trump's top intelligence official, Joseph Maguire. 

Also, we bring you the latest on the Brexit debate in the UK. We head to Stoke-on-Trent, a town in England that voted overwhelmingly to leave the European Union. 

And we speak to a student in Indonesia where people are protesting about a proposed new criminal code bill.
