Vice President Joe Biden and his son claims goes well beyond ukraine we look into those allegations. Of paris court finds the woman behind the french me to move money for defaming a man she had accused of sexual harassment. And british businessman and banks on his leave you can buy in the cleared of receiving millions in funding from overseas including from russia the National CrimeAgency States there was no evidence that any criminal offenses had been committed. From moscow thanks for joining us on all things and i shall die with you tonights welcome to the program. A controversy is growing in washington over a july phone call between the president s of the u. S. And ukraine thats off whistleblowers complain. Against that donald trump was declassified on thursday it alleges that the white house attempted to keep the details of the 2 Leaders Conversation secret democrats say that during his discussions with that i mean the lenski was the trump likely committed a crime by urging his counterpart to investigate democratic 2020 hopeful joe bidens activities in ukraine caleb maupin explains if you take a look at the complaint its from an unnamed whistleblower and this whistleblower essentially argues that they are working in the interests of the United States they heard about trumps conversation with the ukrainian leader they were outraged about it and they had to speak up now whats interesting is the whistleblower admits they never actually heard the conversation i was not a direct witness to most of the events described however i found my colleagues accounts of these events to be credible because in almost all cases officials recounted fucked pots ins that were consistent with one another in addition a variety of information consistent with these private accounts has been reported publicly and therefore filling my g. T. To report this information through propose legal channels to the rather than foresees we were presented with the most graphic evidence yet that the present United States has betrayed his oath of office betrayed his oath to defend our National Security and betrayed his oath to defend our constitution sacrificed our National Security. And our constitution for his personal political benefit the director of National Intelligence says he fully stands behind this whistleblower you dont believe the whistleblower is a political hack do you director i believe that the as i said before mr chairman i believe the whistle blower on it is operating in good faith well then there was money in the law they couldnt be in good faith that they were acting as a political hack good day mr chairman my job is to support and lead the entire Intelligence Community that individual works for me therefore it is my job to make sure that i support and defend that person you dont have any reason to cuse them of disloyalty to our country or suggest that beholden to some other country i mean im sure absolutely not i believe that the whistleblower followed the steps every step of the way now the white house has released the full transcript of the phone call in question between President Trump of the United States and the ukrainian leader and as that transcript shows trump did indeed bring up joe biden his son hunter biden the issue of the firing of the prosecutor however there was no mention of a threat to withdraw military aid from ukraine as was alleged by democrats initially and that transcript is available and when they were at the United Nations speaking together trump and the ukrainian leader reiterated that there was never any pressure or threat placed on the ukrainian leader and. I think. Cole was normal we spoke about many seeing that and so the so i think when you read it is that nobody bhushan bush and me yes no 3 at this point the democrats have opened a formal impeachment inquiry into President Trump now the way the u. S. Constitution lays things out the house of representatives decides to begin impeachment proceedings that would be the House Judiciary Committee that would write up articles of impeachment butt. The u. S. Senate that would then convene an impeachment trial and vote on whether or not to remove the president so at this point we have the democrats and house of representatives beginning impeachment proceedings against us President Donald Trump in response to this phone call and the whistleblowers complained about it however at this point of the senate is controlled pretty solidly by republicans so they could very easily vote not to convene an impeachment trial so the next move will be quite interesting to see but regardless of what we now have with the transcript available that says that the whistleblower didnt actually hear the conversation the complaint that is now available from the whistleblower to the transcript of the conversation that is now available itll be quite interesting to see what happens next but the impeachment ball is rolling in washington d. C. However while Many Democrats are praising the whistleblowers some republicans are raising concerns about the number of leaks coming from the white house is it normal for the president and states to have their conversations leak out. This is the 3rd time Ranking Member of the allegation in the initial blower complaint was that there were about 12 people who listened in on the conversation so there were a number of people that from the white house briefed on the call this would not be something that im quite im quite sure this this white house probably didnt leak this out i wouldnt say the white house but there are individuals within the white house that may or may not i dont know but it would not be from an intelligence intercept i will say that what they were talking about at that point was that we had the conversation with the australian Prime Minister leaked we have the conversation with the president s of mexico late and now a leak about they president of ukraine there is a significant problem with people working against trump and the question that were all going to ask ourselves is look in the cold light of day these phone calls may sound incriminating but we dont know what barack obama said to World Leaders and so weve got nothing necessarily to compare this to and i think that that is where it is only one of the things i would say as an important point and anybody watching this i think would have the intelligence to recognize that you cannot rule on a Foreign Affairs operation if the confidential conversations youll have a with both supportive and hostile regimes a cult see being leaked to the Washington Post that is something that is deeply on helpful and its something that continually options and only to double trump donald trump has reiterated he still wants alleged corruption claims involving his potential election rival joe biden on a Ukrainian Company looked into it and the u. S. President said hes ations now extend beyond just one country as donald quarter reports. Trumps doing something theres a naysaying liberal media following close behind despite president drugged Rudy Giulianis repeated allegations against the bidens no evidence of wrongdoing tied to his son Hunter BidensUkraine Business has actually been found the allegations against him which which have indeed been been proven baseless at least to this point these are proven claims that the president is making about bud right well hes making up to the allegations against the Vice President and i think thats really important to understand so does biden and his family have a squeaky clean track record lets look at the facts in 2014 biden was in charge of washingtons policy stance for ukraine and for some reason his son was put on a Ukrainian Oil companys board of directors around that same time when a prosecutor launched an inquiry into that weird coincidence biden had this to say and i went over. 1230. 00 time to keven and i was good supposed to announce that there is another 1000000000. 00 Loan Guarantee and i got a commitment from poroshenko and from. You know that they would take action against the state prosecutor and they did so that theyre walking out. And im not going to were not going to give you 2000000000. 00 shortly after the prosecutor was fired and the inquiry dropped biden said neither had to do with one another just another coincidence but lets go back to bidens 2013 trip to china for talks with president cheesing paying 10 days after that a subsidiary of the bank of china cut a deal with joe son hunter to form a 1000000000. 00 joint Investment Fund another 1000000000. 00 coincidence then there was 2011 when he oversaw u. S. Troop withdrawal from iraq that same year joes younger brother sealed a 1500000000. 00 deal to build homes in you guessed. Iraq theres plenty of money for everyone if this project goes through and that mountain of benjamins 2 was only a coincidence it seems when youre related to the former Vice President things just tend to work out and joes got no problem with it mr Vice President you take on that was there a conflict of interest there was a clear conflict of interest what you heard and people move along nothing to see here im not seeing now questions about well it could also be distracting us from when joe biden and his son and others have been involved maybe there really is something there thats a question thats not coming through really the questions that are being asked in the hope i think for those who are were answered from this how does leads into really great. Leaked information or juicy information not about joe biden but about donald trump. People who are upset with his politics and this could be a way to move us away from when joe biden might be involved in a family thing. Court in paris has ruled that the founder of the french me too movement the famed the man she accused of making lewd and sexist remarks in 2017 is a frost correspondent shot at they would skew. Well sundram has been told to pay some 20000. 00 euros in fines and damages after being found to have defamed to t. V. Executives who she said had sexually harassed her there she is known as being the leader or the start of the me too movement here in france which is called pole which means rat on your pig and back in 2017 she had tweeted about an incident for many years before in which she had said it the executive who she went on to name and shame had made inappropriate advances to her but the t. V. Executive in question says as a result of this he was labeled as a sex offender he received a huge barash of criticism on social media and he was unhappy he said even more so when she rejected his advances which he admits actually happened he then went on to apologize effectively i did make misplaced comments to sandra during a drunken Cocktail Party very late one night but only ones i later i told her was so heavy handedly and only once i must point out i dont want to exonerate myself from my boorishness of the time i retreat my apologies well sundram isnt happy with this verdict in the court and neither is her lawyer and both say that they will now look to appeal. I didnt win the other woman won i lost here today but in any case we win it all genders have started talking this decision doesnt take away from the fact that womens voices have been liberated that he must continue to speak out that he must continue to do now is reprehensible acts of any kind fear must not win here must not change sides well this isnt perhaps the 1st embarrassment for the me too movement to think about the italian actress an activist asieh our center who is one of the fore. Bearers of the me too Movement Across the globe and also new york professor. Who talked about being victims of sexually inappropriate behavior in the past but both women were later accused by young men of making them the victims of sexually inappropriate behavior and many people have long questioned this idea of naming and shaming people who are being accused of being sexual offenders or sexual predators given that in a public space such as social media theres often little to no evidence to back up that those allegations those claims have got a real grain of truth to them and many people saying why didnt you take them to the courts in the 1st place and some saying as a result of that their careers have also been growing their personal lives have also being ruined so some people question now where the this Defamation Case marks a real reversal in the fortunes of me to movement not perhaps just here in france but across the globe with many other people perhaps looking at this case and wondering if they too now could bring their own Defamation Case. Get asked all those who believe society has lost the ability to resolve small conflicts in private. One aspect of me too phenomenon was to encourage the idea and propagate the idea that if if genuine victims of Sexual Violence come forward then they will be ignored and disregarded by the system and therefore its necessary to take your complaints to social media if it is genuine Sexual Violence you should go to the police and attempt to revolve it resolve it in a formal setting but i think when youre dealing with the kinds of complaints that weve seen arise as a result of me to which really deal with very often very low level Sexual Misconduct i think there must be an argument there to resolve this informally and i think weve lost as a society the ability to sort of look at this is something that can be resolved privately between the parties one of the greatest injustices arising out of miti which was kevin spacey you know one of the great actors of our generation who had very recently the case against him completely dropped and he now faces no criminal charges whatsoever he had his life taken apart in response those allegations he had his career wiped off the cultural map that is not justice no matter what you think of it it is not justice and i think what we are starting to see is how me the need to move in while arguably drew attention to issues that have been out of the public realm for a while it has some very dark consequences when it comes to considering and just resolution of these claims. A 3rd of the worlds banks have signed up to a Un Initiative on efforts to tackle Climate Change such as cutting back on investing in fossil fuel projects among them are Major Players like torture Bank Citigroup and barclays in total 130. 00 Financial Institutions in 49. 00 countries have signaled theyre on board though notably 7 of the worlds 10 biggest banks are missing the Un Initiative calls on banks to harmonize their strategies with the paris club agreements and work towards a Sustainable Future from being seen as an overdue move to mobilize the influential finance sector to a fad that will cause more. That it will solve will put up for discussion here in r. T. What we really need to be looking out looking at is eliminating the funding of fossil fuels as quickly as possible and the key thing here is not to focus too much on the banks they will do whatever they can within what is profitable and legal key thing is to put pressure on governments to utterly change the rules in terms of what banks do to get rid of anything that is destroying the future for our children the Green Technologies that are presented as growing are not at all in many instances in the Energy Sector today say no to Nuclear Energy there is no reason to say no to say no because Nuclear Energy doesnt make any c o 2 its time to stop and the gulf mums must progress of course in the reduction of c o 2 emissions but they should do it normally at a normal pace and for bidding the use of coal of fuel or gas is stupid especially for example in germany they need coal plants to to produce the energy when there is no went to identify you know perhaps correctly perceived problems with some of what is being pushed forward is green at the moment as a reason for carrying on burning fossil fuels when we know it is who eddie a crime against humanity in the form of catastrophic droughts floods typhoons clones hurricanes you know and the strength of these things is absolutely vastly greater than before and you know so to try and identify some of the problems with whats being put forward by you know the mainstream green narrative as a reason to carry on destroying ourselves is just madness about what the science is saying in terms of what happens when we go over one with photographs and not as if these are one of the i think i see the i. P. C. C. The i. P. C. C. Only represents a fraction of the scientific world so many of us disagree that Global Warming is not necessarily due to c o 2 alone or 2 main thing we must be very careful what we do because c o 2 is essential to the growth of plants and to to life on earth so and to oxygen creation so its not that. If we get to a point where were running out of there i dont have a congress that were not running good in go to we must 1st have solutions and its not because gray thumb barack spoke on monday that we need to go faster we need to do the right thing at the right time its not people are extreme extreme activists that need to decide governments cannot allow this and the United Nations should not allow this the only reason that the solutions required to deal with these problems are now so extreme is that well weve had 30 years of people like luke saying are what we need to wait till we know more until the technology is about or what has happened over that period is that we have produced more emissions in the last 30 years than the entirety of Human History before so the very very tempting rationale which is that anything that looks greener than before is a step in the right direction we must go at the normal pace we cannot stop planes from flying from today on because thats what the extremists want to paraphrase god given low progress with your question i would say when obviously its like progress on this. France has the next monday a day of mourning following the death of former president Jacques Chirac the veteran politician died at the age of 86 early on thursday morning chirac served 2 terms as president and prior to that he was twice Prime Minister as well as the mayor of paris for 18 years maturing was unique 50 years in the spotlight he became known as a leading globalist than an influential figure in shaping World Politics at home chirac was critical in redefining frances footing in europe in becoming a leading champion of the european Integration Project he also worked to improve ties with the former french colonies in africa. You x. Legacy is also locked by many other bold political vote. Loser because youre. The military operations have just started in iraq friends regrets this action taken without the approval of the United Nations that. House is burning down and were blind to it nature mutilated and overexploited can no longer regenerate and we refuse to admit it and in the face of intolerance and hate no interaction is possible no compromise is possible no debate is possible. What do you want for me to get back to my own way and i go back to god then let them go these dark hours forever sully our history and they are an insult to our past and our traditions. During his time as president Jacques Chirac favored close ties with russia in 2006 year i coauthored president Putin Frances highest state award the legion of honor for his contribution to multilateral corp in return he later also received an award from the kremlin for his role in promoting russian culture in france. The u. K. s National Trauma agency has found no proof of wrongdoing by the brics a Campaign Group believe dot is you and what its fundraisers are and banks cleared him of receiving donations for the brics it campaign from a foreign source namely russia with more on the story heres kate potters. Britains National Crime agency says its dropping an investigation into our own banks one of the biggest donors behind the brics Referendum Campaign the n. C. A. A. Looked into potential offenses concerning 8000000. 00 pounds worth of funding it was claimed banks wasnt the true source but the inquiry found banks illegally took out a loan from a company c. E. O. And so he could give the money to the brits that campaign the n. C. A. A. Investigation has concluded that mr banks was legally entitled in his capacity as an individual to release these funds to the better for the Country Limited by instructing another of his companys Rock Services ltd to make the transactions on his behalf but its worth noting the n. C. A. A. Felt the need to highlight the hype surrounding the case the investigation has been subject to press and social media commentary the n. C. A. A. Has not received any evidence to suggest that mr banks and his companies received funding from any 3rd party to fund the loans or that he acted as an agent on behalf of a 3rd party why is this important because our in banks with the Russian Ambassador to the u. K. A few times as well as russian businessmen as is often assumed by associating with russians you must be a russian agent something banks. That crimea. The police are going to investigate lunch with the Russian Ambassador but at the university but the media seemed eager to find a russian connection or exit is now being pinned on russian interference aaron banks has been dogged by repeated accusations of close links with russia the parallels between the russian intervention in bragg and the russian intervention in the Trump Campaign appear to be extraordinary so we traveled to south africa to find one they also filmed russian opposition figures with no knowledge of the case as they brought up his russian wife mr banks is a perfectly good reason to visit russia whenever he wants his family he has 3 children by his russian wife in 2015 aaron banks tried to raise money in russia to invest in his mines here in south africa and surprisingly they try to connect banks with donald trump and felt it was newsworthy to discuss banks some time visit to transcribe and publish pictures of it to controversial backers of the brakes a movement would guess last year at Donald Trumps mar a lago club are in banks and the week more known as the bad boys of bricks visited the Palm Beach Club in april according to a review by the Palm Beach Post of Instagram Post tagged at the spot mainstream politicians also pushed him on the issue so much so banks walked out of a select Committee Meeting as m. P. s questions on the exit and russia ran late but i think that you are saying this is the system. That is that it was it is it is which is the n. C. A. A. Found no evidence banks have committed any criminal offenses he says the allegations against him were part of a political witch hunt with claims of trump russia collusion reports of banks russia collusion were apparently founded and perpetuated on fear rather than proof the decision to leave the European Union was something so monumental that it impacts the elites in britain both in the politics in civil service. In business and media they needed to find enemies they needed to find a way of discrediting the whole campaign and so the 1st thing they did was start to attack the donors to the campaign to leave and of course mr sharon banks and the leave means leave movement came into the firing line of their anger without a doubt this was a witch hunt it was a witch hunt against those who campaigned for brix it like myself and the leaders of the movement it was a campaign to discredit those who donated it and they also tried to discredit it by saying that there was collusion from other nations such as russia that there was russian money behind mr r. And banks and all of this was to discredit the movement discredit the referendum it was a disgrace and should be something thats looked into by a Royal Commission in my view in the way that we look after our elections in the future thats all for this for the team and myself back in 30 minutes time with the latest global is updates.
