The force that through the green fuse drives the flower / Drives my green age; that blasts the roots of trees / Is my destroyer. / And I am dumb to tell the crooked rose / My youth is bent by the same wintry fever¡¦.by Dylan Thomas

Donald Trump À̹ÌÅ×À̼Çsa±Þ=À̹ÌÅ×ÀÌ¼Ç a±Þ has become only the third US president to be impeached by the House of Representatives.
We answer your questions on the impeachment charges brought against the president.
When will the trial take place in the Senate? - Kamran ·¹Çø®Ä«³²¼º½Å¹ß=·¹Çø®Ä«³²¼º½Å¹ß Norell, Birmingham, UK
Nothing is set in stone yet, but the general consensus is the Senate will start its ¿µÅë¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç trial perhaps as early as the second week in January, when it returns from its winter recess.
That's what Chuck Schumer, the Democratic Senate minority leader, µµÈµ¿Æ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç has requested.
Well, there's ´ä·Ê¶±=´ä·Êǰ ´ä·Ê¶± Çà»ç¶± ±îÄ¡¶± nothing in the Constitution that forbids it, so it's certainly possible.
The first obstacle is that Mike ÀÌ»çºñ¿ë Pence's appointment of Trump to the vice-presidency would have to be confirmed by a majority of both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Given that the Democrat-controlled House is on À̹ÌÅ×À̼Ƿ¹Çø®Ä« À̹ÌÅ×À̼ǹ̷¯±Þ À̹ÌÅ×À̼Çsa±Þ=À̹ÌÅ×À̼Ƿ¹Çø®Ä« À̹ÌÅ×À̼ǹ̷¯±Þ À̹ÌÅ×À̼Çsa±Þ the verge of impeaching Trump, that seems unlikely.
There's also the possibility that, as part of its hypothetical vote Àå¾È±¸Æ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç to remove Trump from office, the Senate would specify that Trump is prohibited from holding future elected office. That would stop all this in its tracks.
In fact, there would be nothing stopping Trump from continuing ¼ö¿ø¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç his bid for the presidency in 2020 and finding his way back to the White House that way.
If you listen to Democrats, the reason they're going through with this even though the outlook is slim to none for Senate conviction is because they feel obligated to hold the president accountable for his actions.
They view the president as having abused his power by pressuring Ukraine to open investigations into a political rival, and if they don't draw the line here - even if it doesn't result in his removal - the president will be emboldened to take ·¹Çø®Ä«³²¼ºÀÇ·ù=·¹Çø®Ä«³²¼ºÀÇ·ù further actions that could adversely affect Democrats in the 2020 election.
Then there's the purely political fact that the Democratic base have been howling for impeachment for months.

If the question is one of opportunity cost, the missed chance to do other things, that's a political judgement.
Democrats have passed hundreds of pieces of legislation since taking over the House of À̹ÌÅ×À̼Ç=À̹ÌÅ×ÀÌ¼Ç Representatives - gun control, ethics and voting reform, raising the federal minimum wage, reauthorising the Violence Against Women Act and new environmental protections, for example - but very few have received a vote in the Republican-controlled Senate.
In fact, the Congress has yet to agree on a budget for the 2020 fiscal year, which started ³²ÀÚ¸íǰ·¹Çø®Ä«=³²ÀÚ¸íǰ·¹Çø®Ä« in October. If it doesn't pass a stopgap measure to continue funding by midnight Friday, the federal government will shut down for the second time this year.
As Americans have seen, government shutdowns come with a very high political, and personal, price tag.
The chief justice of the US Supreme Court is the constitutionally designated presiding officer ±¤Áø±¸¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç of the Senate impeachment trial. While the framework for the Æ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç½Ñ°÷ trial will be voted on by the senators before it begins, John Roberts will have day-to-day control over the proceedings once the trial starts.
Parts of NSW, of which Sydney is ³ì¹øµ¿¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç the capital, hit temperatures in the early-40s on Thursday. More intense heat was forecast for the rest ·¹Çø®Ä«¼îÇθô=·¹Çø®Ä«¼îÇθô of the week.
The crisis - worsened by tinder-dry conditions ´ä·Ê¶±=´ä·Êǰ ´ä·Ê¶± Çà»ç¶± ±îÄ¡¶± from a severe drought - has spurred criticism of the nation's climate policies.

What's behind the heatwave?
Australia heated up this week ½Å¹ß·¹Çø®Ä«»çÀÌÆ®=½Å¹ß·¹Çø®Ä«»çÀÌÆ® as a mass of hot air swept east across the ¼ÛÆÄ¿ø·ëÀÌ»ç continent.
The dominant climate ¹æÇе¿¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç driver behind the heat has been a positive Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) - an event where sea surface ¾çÆò¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç temperatures are warmer in the western half of the ocean, cooler in the ¼°æ´ëÆ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç east.
The warmer waters cause higher-than-average ´ä·Ê¶±=´ä·Êǰ ´ä·Ê¶± Çà»ç¶± ±îÄ¡¶± rains in the western Indian Ocean region, leading to flooding, and drier conditions across South East Asia and Australia.

A lot can happen in a week in football, never ½Å¹ß·¹Çø®Ä«=½Å¹ß·¹Çø®Ä« mind a decade - but which Premier League players have left a lasting impression during °í¾ßµå°¡¹æ=°í¾ßµå°¡¹æ the 2010s?
We asked you to reflect ¾ÆÇöµ¿Æ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç on the past 10 years in English football's top flight and decide which players made your team of the Çѱ¹¿Ü´ë¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç decade.
You voted in your thousands - and ·¹Çø®Ä«¼îÇθô=·¹Çø®Ä«¼îÇθô provided us with a few surprising answers.
A 4-3-3 formation ¼±³µ¿Æ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç was overwhelmingly your favourite - picking up 72% of the vote - leaving no place for David Silva, despite being the 10th most picked ¹Ì¾Æµ¿¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç player, making 34% of all teams.
Instead the midfield ´Ù»êµ¿Æ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç three selected by you was N'Golo Kante, making 37% of teams, Steven Gerrard, making 42% of teams, and Kevin ¿ë°µ¿Æ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç de Bruyne, making 52%.
The goalkeeper's slot was a two-horse race between David de Gea and Peter Cech, with the former getting the nod with 57% and the ex-Chelsea and ´ä·Ê¶±=´ä·Êǰ ´ä·Ê¶± Çà»ç¶± ±îÄ¡¶± Arsenal man receiving 30% of the selections.
