A comma out of place. And the russian opposition figure alexina al negros in agony on board a plane after an apparent poisoning is now critically ill in hospital. Federal prosecutors in the United States have today arrested and charged a former senior white house strategy is to steve bannan he was one of President Trumps most influential advisors during the 2016 Election Campaign the Justice Department is accusing him of conspiracy to commit wire fraud now that has to do with a Fundraising Campaign to support the building of mr trumps wall along the border between mexico and the United States in a moment well speak to our White House Correspondent kimberly hulk at 1st lets go to Gabriel Elizondo outside the courthouse in new york so gabe we actually see mr ban. In the dont overlook old take place virtually because of qubit 90. Well were not quite sure the answer to that question we think that his 1st Court Appearance here at this federal courthouse in Lower Manhattan will be virtual because of cope at 19 a lot of the him person Court Appearances that would normally happen are not happening so we do not expect to see steve benen here at court however you never know these are very Uncertain Times so at any point prosecutors or perhaps one of his lawyers could walk out of court make a statement and thats exactly why were here to bring the latest info the bottom line though is this is a huge arrest arrest of steve bannon arrested in the state of connecticut according to prosecutors along with 3 other people the charges against steve bannon and this indictment are a multi count indictment but essentially what it was according to prosecutors is that steve bannon and 3 others created this what they were calling a Nonprofit Organization that they were put on go fund me a site where you can collect donations from the public and they said these donations would all go to building Donald Trumps border wall on the southern border with mexico prosecutors said that there were over 25000000. 00 in donations by hundreds of thousands of people that donated to this ad prosecutors said that nearly a 1000000. 00 at least steve bannon illegally took for himself which is basically fraud and that is what he is essentially being charged with well hear more once he does make a Court Appearance either in person or virtually here at the court in here but this is certainly now more than a half dozen close Trump Associates at one point or another if it indicted and or pled guilty gabriel youll keep us posted im sure will come but you if there are any developments in the meantime thank you very much mr brown was asked about steve brown and the rest is some of what he said today. I think its a very sad thing for mr ben and i think its surprising but this was something as you know just by reading social media and by reading whatever it is and by speaking to mike and mike in all of them i didnt like that project i thought that was a project that was being done for showboating reasons i dont know that he was in charge i didnt know any of the other people either but its its sad its a very sad life. My colleague White House Correspondent so kimberly the central accusation here seems to be mr bannon spent 1000000. 00 of money the short of stayed with donald trump supporters. And thats why i think you heard the u. S. President there talking about the fact that he believes this is sad he doesnt feel sorry for steve bannon in any way in fact when he had those comments were made in the oval office not so long ago he really didnt come to steve banons defense at all it was more the donors the American People voters we should point out that he hopes will vote for him for reelection in november that donald trump was trying to connect with i think its important to remind our viewers that there is no love lost between steve ban and be chief strategist at one point here at the white house and donald trump donald trump likes loyalty and Steve Ballmer and didnt show the requisite loyalty that donald trump demands of all who work with him particularly in that book fire and fury sharply critical of some of those comments from steve bannon particularly Donald Trumps children and that is kind of an untouchable area for this president at one point calling trump whos beloved by her father that she was dumb as a brick so donald trump not coming to the defense saying that this was inappropriate these charges that are now against steve bannon. Once again essentially using this kind of as a political weapon as he often does turning on those who were once loyal to him in order to try and win votes in november meanwhile kimberly another cool ruling this time on mr trumps tax record. Yeah the u. S. President s not getting a win here but trying to spin it into one if he spoke about this in the oval office in fact what we know is that a federal judge has sided with new york state prosecutors who are attempting to get Donald Trumps not only Accounting Records but also his tax returns now why this is here in new york is it was kicked back down from the Supreme Court but what mr trump doesnt seem to understand is the nuance of that Supreme Court ruling very quickly what the Supreme Court ruling said was that there were 2 Different Cases that were ruled on by the Supreme Court they said essentially when it comes to Congress Congress cannot go on a fishing expedition but it didnt say that about the case in new york it donald trump says thats exactly whats going on in the Supreme Court has sided with him heres what he had to say this is the ultimate fishing expedition nobody has anything we did we dont do things wrong but theyll say lets go in and inspect every deal hes ever done lets get papers from 10 years every paper every deal hes ever side maybe we can find where some lawyer made a mistake where they didnt dot an eye with it in put a comma down someplace and then we can do something this is a disgrace addition never ever be allowed to happen again. So again to be clear the Supreme Court ruling said that congress cannot go on a fishing expedition when trying to seek the truck tax records of donald trump but that did not apply to the rulings in new york now this is working its way through the courts but donald trump is always promising to fight it even if it goes back to the Supreme Court now the u. S. President has a busy schedule again campaigning as we approach the u. S. Election he is headed shortly to scranton pennsylvania why thats the hometown of his rival joe biden who of course will be making his speech as he accepts his partys nomination in the coming hours for the democratic president ial nominee donald trump continuing his counterprogramming campaign trying to get ahead of that message he will be speaking from scranton pennsylvania a battleground state ok kimberly thanks for that kimberly washington White House Correspondent there. Well mr trump was dealing with all of those questions and she was hosting the new iraqi Prime Minister most often ill condamine hes on his 1st official visit to the u. S. They discussed boosting u. S. Investment in iraq as well as the future of about 5000. 00 american troops who are still stationed the u. S. Forces have already begun to withdraw from several bases over the past few months we have been taking our troops out of iraq fairly rapidly and we look forward to the day when we dont have to be there and hopefully iraq can live their own lives or they can defend themselves which have been doing long before we got involved. Well the Prime Minister said the withdrawal needs to be balanced with iraqs security needs well this to us because that in this but theyre up to it we will not allow any attack on iraqs sovereignty similarily we cannot allow iraq to become a platform for any hostile act against any of our neighbors i believe all the parties are aware of the conditions and circumstances of iraq we are keen on ensuring our sovereignty and we cannot allow iraq to be a platform for any threats to any country in the region especially the turks.

U. Said it rejected elections that kept the russian president Alexander Lukashenko in power the block is also sanctioning government and Security Officials it deems to be responsible for brutally repressing protests against mr lucas. Donna cane joins us live from berlin so dom tell us about belarus 1st what were they saying there. Strong words from Emmanuel Mccall about the situation in also from angola machall reiterating what they have been saying in recent days in the past week or so about the situation in minsk and about the situation in the white country itself certainly from mr mccalls perspective it was very important he said not to allow the situation in yellow rose to degenerate into the sorts of situation that have taken place in ukraine he was very clear that he did not want to see that happen both leaders said that they had discussed the situation in ghettos with the russian president Vladimir Putin making clear their belief that it was important that the situation get a risk being resolved there that the there be a peaceful transition from the government of president look at to a different regime to a different government that there should be new elections very strong words from both leaders an interesting me and off the 2 leaders were also asked about the story we were hearing about just a few minutes ago about alexei. And both leaders said they felt that was very troubling what theyd heard about what has happened to mr nominee and both leaders said that they would be prepared if the situation allowed itself for him to be met effect for him to be taken from where he is currently in to either france or to germany so both leaders being very clear about the situation both in getting rose and regarding stand about Emmanuel Macron the french premier he was one of the 1st World Leaders to talk about that coup on tuesday night in mali there is a french force on the ground in mali still as we speak whats he been saying about mali. Well from the french perspective remember the role of the french government of france itself in that part of africa it explains why i should not clarke has be outspoken about the situation there from his perspective he said that the interests of the french government of all democracies is in democracy in mali he condemned what he called a coup that had taken place in mali was something also touched upon by the german chancellor Angela Merkel who talked about the role of echo us in this scenario here certainly both leaders in the course of the News Conference very much giving the impression to those listening that they are they see eye to eye on this issue as indeed they do on many other issues that they touched upon during their News Conference is quite clear they were seeking to emphasize the areas that they agree upon not just in mali not just in belarus but also in so far as other european scenarios are concerned they touched on the Eastern Mediterranean situation between greece and turkey and of course they also mentioned the situation in libya right now which is a clear concern to both leaders so as i say very much a Tour De Force from both leaders about the issues that 2 countries care about very much and they were seeking to emphasize the areas they agree upon more than those that they disagree upon ok don many things dominick and our reporter there in berlin. They general Prosecutors Office and opened a criminal case into a council made up of figures from the opposition protesters say theyll continue to defy warnings from the president as to the question of a renewed crackdown and hes ordered Security Forces to clear the streets after nearly 2 weeks of protests over this months disputed president ial election the Opposition Leader spent long article skier whos now in lithuania and says she set up the council to coordinate a peaceful transfer of power at the prosecutor insists its a threat to security. A group of citizens of the republic of belarus has declared creation of a Coordination Council one of the goals of which is a transfer of power the plan to create a political body that should undertake the transfer of power from the current head of the country creating such a body is not allowed by the law their activity is unconstitutional a group of citizens who understand the invalidity of their actions has left the council and do not agree with detective ad. Creation and activity of such a council is designated to seize state authority as well as damage the National Security of belarus welchs it was snow has more now from minsk. Added the Tension Center where after the election the protests started thousands of people were detained and also badly beaten and even tortured many are seen released up to 4000. 00 the estimation but there are still around 3000 people detained people are gathering here every day now to try to get their personal belongings back and that seems to be applied ruggles also theres also some unclear reports that the money people are not accounted for at this moment even though its an hour more than 10 days that this Police Crackdown has happened meanwhile also protesters today seem to be pretty quiet so far what we know is there is a lot of threats coming from the authorities so its a war crisis day olds who are now in one such order to sign some kind of paper saying they would choose to restrain from the Political Activities but still as he saw last night despite all this crap. Look a saga protesters were still gathering the fire in all these risks of being detained so we expect the same will happen again maybe later today and especially in the next coming days.

Millions of afghans are facing Food Shortages caused by the coronavirus pandemic and the lockdowns that followed in the 4000000 people have lost their primary source of income since the outbreak began according to estimates from the World Food Programme 16000000. 00 people are at risk of going hungry and food prices have soared because of border restrictions which is worsening the crisis and nearly 2000000. 00 afghan children under the age of 5 are likely to suffer from the most life threatening form of extreme hunger thats according to save the children. Ramaswamy is deputy country director for the u. N. World food program in afghanistan she explains how difficult it is to respond to this crisis at a time when donor countries are struggling with problems of their own. If you know kathy and the mic is just not perfect youve got to stop its a Global Pandemic and we have seen unprecedented consequences of this handedly. The urgency is everywhere even that of countries are having problems not so much probably like the ones in afghanistan but definitely employment is an issue having the right hospital beds for everything people to treat is an issue people following guidance and reducing the risk of transmission is an issue so we are not seeing this problem as just confined to one country its transporter. But we also know that other International Partners have come together to ensure that theyre able to help us and just to keep. India appears to be struggling in this battle against the Global Pandemic is just reported a new record increase in daily infections nearly 70000. 00 in the past 24 hours that brings its total number of cases to 2840000 its the 3rd worst hit country in the world Indian Health officials have released the latest results of an Antibody Survey elizabeth purana has more on that from new delhi. Delis Health Minister says that 29 point one percent of delhis residents have antibodies to the corona virus thats out of the latest syria logical survey which tests for antibodies was conducted in the 1st week of august testing around 15000 samples now dellys confirmed number of cases is just over 156000 but the same indicates that the real number of cases are closer to around 6000000 given that the capital has a population of around 20000000 and surveys being done around the country paint a similar picture the results of the survey in the city of pooling from earlier this week thats in maharashtra the worst affected state that showed that over 50 percent off the citys 6000000 population have antibodies now one of the big reasons for the discrepancy between the confirmed number of cases in india and what syria logical surveys show is the relatively low level of testing and thats one of the reasons why the Indian Government has really ramped up testing it conducted more than 100000 tests on wednesday it wants to be conducting least 1000000 every single day but the other problem is the number of the quicker but less accurate rapid antigen tests that are being used up to 30 percent of all the tests in the country other less accurate rapid antigen tests and on wednesday demis high court once again expressed concern that the government in delhi is using double the number of rapid adhesion tests and is as it is the test the more accurate test thats known as the r. T. P. C. In a rare admission the north Korean Leader has said that u. S. Sanctions the Global Pandemic and recent floods have seriously affected the economy and the meeting of the Partys Central Committee kim jong il and said goals for improving the economy have not been met and peoples Living Standards have not been improved enough mr kim should go to congress for january to. A new 5 Year Economic plan. Argentinas battling a surge in the virus with at least 312000 infections now confirmed more than 6000 the government says intensive care admissions and hospital occupancy rates have now become unsustainable to risible reports from buenos aires. Black balloons to remember Health Care Workers who died of covert 1000 here at the hospital dude and then when our societys doctors nurses and aides say theyre deeply concerned for themselves and their colleagues as the virus continues to spread center. There have been 60 deaths of Health Care Workers throughout argentina and 16888. 00 infected healthcare workers we will have beds here in the city of one aside is in the province there will be beds but for sure they wont be workers to attend those beds theyll be virtual beds. Argentina was one of the 1st countries in latin america to impose a lockdown and even though in the beginning it was able to control the spread of covert 1000 cases are once again on the rice leading the government to announce another extension of the Country Squire in teen. In spite of the virus thousands of argentines took to the streets last monday to protest against the government and the lockdown many believe 5 months of total lockdown is too much for the place it. Seems to me that as in other countries we should be trusted to behave like adults and responsibly resume work in moving the country forward. But as discontent is on the rice so is the effort to help produce have a last week argentina announced a local laboratory will start manufacturing the highly promising Astra Zeneca Oxford vaccine. Assuming the vaccine is proven effective and clear safety trials argentina will then distributed to country throughout south america with the exception of brazil which is producing its own vaccine. I didnt mean on several countries in the region have been on knocked down on one and this one had a dramatic effect on the economy and peoples lives this lumber at will in a way like our own countries in this part of the world will be able to access the right theme as soon as possible most of them obviously without a doubt he saw says production will start within weeks we started to work with arsenic and with the transfer we already started we are purchasing things at risk and we want to separate even if hes dead results are not yet there we are awaiting the results for october and we will have more to start of it at that time frame but we are not waiting for the results we are just moving as fast as we can. The lockdown has helped preserve life in argentina but it has also exacerbated an already difficult Economic Situation the challenge now is to jumpstart the economy without any increase in loss of life that is how will and when aside.
