US House of Representatives votes on Trump impeachment

BBC World Service - Business Matters, US House of Representatives votes on Trump impeachment

We go live to Capitol Hill with the vote result expected as we are on air

We go live to Capitol Hill with the vote result expected as we are on air.

We go live to the lower house of the US Congress as representatives vote on President Trump's impeachment and get reaction from the US east and west coast. Apple, Google and Amazon have announced they will make their smart home products more compatible with each others' smartphones and voice assistants. Jason Hyner, editorial director of CNET in Louisville, Kentucky, explains what's behind this unexpected collaboration. Australia is experiencing a record-breaking heatwave, with the temperature to the west of Sydney expected to reach 44 degrees celsius. Firefighters continue to battle ferocious wildfires and there are fears for the safety of an important power station that generates about ten per cent of the electricity for New South Wales. We get the latest from the BBC's Phil Mercer. All this and more discussed with our two guests throughout the show: Alison Van Diggelen, host of Fresh Dialogues, in San Francisco and James Mayger, Bloomberg's deputy bureau chief in Beijing.
