President Trump pens angry letter to Speaker Pelosi over impeachment

President Trump pens angry letter to Speaker Pelosi over impeachment.

The Democrat controlled US House of Representatives will vote later today on articles of impeachment against President Trump. On Tuesday, President Trump wrote to the top Democrat, Nancy Pelosi, accusing her of declaring "open war on American democracy".

Also on the programme, India's Supreme Court has refused to suspend a citizenship law that has provoked protests across the country. So what happens next? And with the European premier of The Rise Of The Skywalker happening later today, we ask is it really the end of the all conquering Star Wars series?
