A 1000000 clue cruft welcome to the program u. S.

Caught up in events beyond his control. Of the means lenski on his 1st visit this ukrainian president to ground 0 to form a comedian was only elected 5 months ago and now hes at the center of an impeachment inquiry. It was all triggered by whistleblowers complained accusing donald trump of soliciting interference in the 2020 u. S. Election by pressuring mr the lenski to initiate or continue an investigation into form of Vice President joe biden and his son hunter biden thing it was House Intelligence Committee chair adam schiff who precipitated the release of the complaint. This month he subpoenaed u. S. Spy chief Joseph Mcguire to explain why he hadnt passed on the complaint to the committee. That whistleblower by their very act of coming forward and showing more dedication to country more of an understanding of the president s oath of office than the president himself in a tense hearing mcguire defended his handling of the whistle blows lead he would not add see if he consulted with the president of the matter but he stressed that officials like the whistleblower have complied with government rules. I have every reason to believe that they have done everything by the book and follow the law. Now the mainstream of the Republican Party is standing by President Trump they say the whistle blows complaint is full of he say and doesnt prove its case and make use democrats of using the letter as part of an ongoing which against the president they dont want answers they want to public spectacle and so weve been treated to an unincorporated of press releases press conferences and fake news stories away from the few remaining of the white house President Trump supportive sheriffs he was there to highlight his credentials on crime i mean slightest rao of whether hes broken the law. Here is g. W. Washington correspondent oliver salat with his take on the allegations that prompted a formal impeachment inquiry 2 takeaways from todays testimony at number one President Trump tried to ask the head of a Foreign Government for help in the 2020 Election Campaign number 2 staffers and aides of the white tells who are so concerned about the nature of they call that they essentially try to cover it up and that of course reminds of the mother investigation where special counsel Robert Muller followed allegations that trump and his team coated with the russians in the 2016 Election Campaign and that President Trump later tried to shut down the investigations and this time around there is clear evidence for President Trumps wrong doing and there might be more soon as america is waiting for yet another testimony of the whistleblower himself. Irans president Hassan Rouhani has called on the u. S. To end its policy known as maximum pressure he asked washington to return to quote dialogue logic and reason he went on to say his country is prepared to hold talks with the United States if President Trump drop sanctions rouhani was speaking in new york a day after addressing the u. N. General assembly. And also there is alexandra phenomena she spoke to brian hook the u. S. Special representative for iraq to get a response to 100. 00 comments. The u. S. Government has imposed new sanctions and travel restrictions on the Iranian Regime bad state iran as seems to remain defiant so its humax and pressure strategy not working no were very pleased with it and were also very pleased here at the United Nations this week that germany france and the United Kingdom have announced that we need a new nuclear deal that is much more comprehensive than the Iran Nuclear Deal that the United States left last year the Iran Nuclear Deal failed to cover irans Missile Program in fact it relaxed constraints on irans Missile Program and now here today we see the consequences in the middle east with iran using missiles to attack saudi arabia so we think this was a very productive and good week with our european friends they all said that iran is behind the attack on saudi arabia so i think the press has overstated our differences and i think the announcement this week is an example of that however as you said to tensions have been rising recently so i we getting closer to have major conflict i dont think so that really is a question for iran we are committed to resolving our differences with iran diplomatically the problem is that iran is answering our diplomacy with military force and i think what they did against saudi arabia meets the definition of an act of war so its what i saw this week at the u. N. Our nations increasingly diplomatically isolating iran for behaving like an outlaw state that doesnt respect basic international norms. France and germany are trying to mediate between the u. S. And iran to facilitate a direct talks are you willing to embrace or help well we have made clear from the president on down that we are very much open to talks with the iranians they will continue to say no and so iran faces a choice they can either come to the negotiating table and work out our differences diplomatically or they can watch their economy collapse as our sanctions intensify it wants you to lift some sanctions its going to happen i think the burden is on iran to demonstrate that it has reached a change of heart and we had attacks in saudi arabia only a week or 2 ago and so i think what the world should be asking is not whether the United States is going to lift its pressure but when will iran stop using military force instead of diplomacy thank you so much ok thanks for having me on thousands of refugees trying to reach europe are stranded in Holding Camps in libya its hardly a safe place for them and accessing the camps is difficult but some refugees have made it out seeking shelter in neighboring new share thats where d. W. Met up with them to hear about their harrowing experience and a warning this report contains pictures that some may find disturbing.

We have been tortured with skid with suffering and dying from various diseases. We were kidnapped we became victims of violence were starving people have died our lives are disgusting so we appeal for our voiceless voice to be heard. We are innocent refugees living in the land of hell. Are. In need we speak to refugees who went through this hell. One of them is 18 years old we call her a mina she was kidnapped while fleeing from somalia and taken to a hidden building in the Libyan Desert many others die on the journey across the sahara i mean us kidnappers demanded 8000. 00 for her release they tortured emina to increase the pressure the parents were forced to listen to it on the phone. The hole with which. They changed me up hung me up and tortured me with electric shocks. They tortured men with electric shocks to their genitals and women and with shocks through their press until they cried and screamed loudly. They did it so they would get the money faster than how to stand. The torch a systematic many other refugees describe similar methods. About 1600 refugees live in this camp south of the sahara. They were all rescued from libya. This man from sudan doesnt want to reveal his true identity either and asks that we call him. He says when he was in prison he was sold. People came and bought us like slaves. And they said we let you work and you get money for so. That in the end you didnt give any money. They said youre a slave youre a black man they even woke us up in the middle of the night to torture us. All on one of these the horrific stories were hearing from refugees inside this. Area theyve seen and experienced things theyre going to have imagined before now here they are the 1st time that lifes not easy here to all they hope for is a quick reset of. Many hope to reach europe. We managed to meet someone who profits from the refugees suffering he calls himself of the occupation migrants model for 500. 00 he brings my grandson across the sahara to libya but if they cant pay the driver sell them to torture chambers of the last use understands why they do that. One wasnt at the beginning they say i spent money on you what am i supposed to do i want my money back and i want to profit on top of that that was when i started torturing people. We often hear refugees say that theyre not put off by stories like this smugglers other only hope and theyre prepared to pay any price even if it means risking their lives.
