A major french bank alleging it was complicit in human rights abuses. That is out say for moscow welcome to news theres something missing in ukraine phone call and that the ongoing and peach mint investigation President Trump struck back accusing shift of making up his version of the conversation. Want you to make up my political potent understand lots of it on this and on that theres a lot of talk about the biden son and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do would be great. Im going to put you in touch with attorney general United States my attorney general bill barr hes got the whole weight. Of the american Law Enforcement. Behind him i am also going to have attorney general board and we will get to the bottom of it. And by the way dont call me ill call you when youve done what i asked whenever you would like to come to the white house feel free to call give us a date and well work down and i look forward to seeing you. On tuesday the house of representatives launched a formal impeachment inquiry into trump over alleged attempts by the u. S. President s have forced the ukrainian counterpart to investigate hunter biden the son of joe biden his potential 2020 democratic rival legal media and this line or believes out of a shift as played fast and loose with the facts when presenting concocted details of the phone call it is extremely duplicitous it is extremely misleading and very troublesome for the way adam schiff came about and basically provided a parody a unique way of looking at it and he was reading what people thought was actual transcript provisions actual statements made sentences a conversation and then later on when pressed he says well i was being. A bit loose with this i was giving you one kind of a perhaps a a parody a kind of a satirical look well that satirical look is absolutely 1st of all so necessary but it was most problematic and the cause of many many people being very very angry with what he did it was on call for duplicitous misleading and wrong and another development American Special envoy to ukraine could volcker has quit the phone call scandal and theres still the corruption allegations circulating about joe biden and his son some of which have been dismissed as Conspiracy Theory by the Mainstream Media here for trying to look whether theyre being a bit too quick to write off the story. So the reason why the president is after the man whos most likely to challenge him next year is nothing but a conspiracy so many voices are saying just that President Trump is again insisting today that reporters should dig into a Conspiracy Theory involving Biden Ukraine and a ukrainian prosecutor promoting without evidence the dubious narrative that biden used the office of the Vice President to advance and protect his sons interests as dig into these unproven claims that trump is making about the former Vice President we cannot have a debate about a Conspiracy Theory but just how much does the public in america know about the case of a Ukrainian Energy company a few years ago but the root of all this stir the public deserves to be aware and make up their own mind conspiracy or proper investigation material so joe bidens son hunter was on the board of directors at mr biden senior as Vice President was washingtons point man with kiev at the time meanwhile this man victor sulkin the prosecutor general there was in charge of investigating barista ma and its founder for Economic Crimes he eventually lost his job well just have a look at how Frank Joe Biden was about his involvement i said you not get the 1000000000 im going to leave in a year i think it was about 6 hours 6 hours if the prosecutor is not fired youre not getting the money oh son of a. Fighter jets guess what happened later after the new prosecutor came in his office eventually gave the company a free pass obviously though we cannot connect any dots here but just so you know the fired ukraine official no matter how corrupt he ended up being was confident about why he got kicked out heres a quote from his affidavit the truth is that i was forced out because i was leading a wide ranging corruption probe into perus mode ngs and natural gas in ukraine and joe biden. Biden was a member of the board of directors anyway let me move on with a few more relevant findings by a journalist from the hill who studied a bunch of emails then Ukrainian Government memo. It turns out the folks from a us p. R. Firm that represented breasts were really eager to get a meeting with the most senior prosecutors in kiev one a male claimed to have been sent by craning Embassy Diplomat to one of the people from the firm said this with regards to the missing some key i suggest that you wait until the next week when the reason the expected vote on the governments. Its been revealed that on the same day prosecutor shocking was shown the door the top guys of the p. R. Team once again got in touch with kiev and only took them several days to get a meeting with the new acting prosecutor general his memo suggests the folks that help bristol raise the changes at the Prosecutors Office the visiting side was surprised by the info and sent the Us State Department has completely different information describing the failure of the reforms at the Prosecutors Office but then they changed their mind and realized u. S. Officials were misinformed they also promised to hook up ukraines incoming Law Enforcement officials with ties to the state department and help organize a trip to the u. S. They informed me that they would seek to facilitate my visit to the u. S. To pass on the correct information to state department officials. After this man you were sankoh officially took over from the acting prosecutor general step by step all proceedings against the firm where hunter biden had one of the top jobs began to vanish now back to mr biden seeing here and someone who used to meet him quite often as the head of ukraine according to the fired prosecutors testimony the president was pushing too on several occasions president poroshenko asked me to consider the possibility of winding down the investigative actions in respect of this company but i refused to close this investigation now where that would lead experts in conspiracy tagging or the us public as a whole i have no clue. Voting slows down afghanistans president ial election on a day thats been marred by sporadic outbursts of insurgent violence and widespread voter intimidation explosions and missile attacks rocked polling stations up and down the country with one person confirmed dead and dozens of others injured the taliban said it was responsible its the volvo election since the us forcibly removed the taliban from power in 2001 and the 1st since donald trump broke off peace talks with the Group Earlier this month more than 9000000. 00 people were registered to vote in the election although turnout is said to have been low figures show that around 7020 percent of afghans believe that the vote would be free and fair. The Afghan Government currently controls slightly more than half the country the rest is either under the taliban or contested there are about 5000. 00 polling stations opened today down from the above and 7000. 00 which had initially been planned hundreds of them are situated in dangerous areas afghan based journalist brought us the latest on the election. Today mourning the elections kicked off however the turnout is very low in many parts of the country we have heard more than 20 blasts took place in the capital kabul in south or in kandahar province as well as in a longer province and could this province the taliban are really you know warrant to disrupt the process but you know despite all these threats by it all these insecurity the process hasnt is a very big damage or a very big obstacle to prevent you know the whole process but we could say that you know i saw far we have heard that 3 big attacks have been thwarted by the Government Forces because the Afghan Government announced more than 100000 Afghan Security forces are deployed to secure the process still turn out overall turnout shows that people are scared off the going to the polling stations doing good c. Q. Using. Trying to see voters in these laws no one should be afraid of anyone should vote for president because it is their right to vote the security. It would be sufficient for the security is good right now we are voting to have a democratic country on land should be peaceful and our people should be happy a Research Analyst at the center of a conflict in peace studies outlined to us the complexities and challenges posed by todays election. I hope im wrong but we will enter through election crisis where the top contenders particularly the president in his chief executive of the loved both refuse to accept the results so i think that point the likely scenario would be that selection cannot be sorted out there lets have. An interim government where are the taliban are also. Happy about it in that it could give a chance to. Peace peace as well i think you know one of the key reasons for the taliban to not negotiate with one government is president only because in 24000 before the elections he made promises to them but once he took power. He could not fulfill those promises so i think thats a likely scenario where interim government will be created. After the election crisis come in so i think that would be the only solution in if you look at the reports that are coming that a Peace Process is going to start in a week it makes more sense. Mass rallies demanding action over Climate Change has been held across canada with more than 300000 marching in montreal alone team climate activist gratin burke and the canadian Prime Minister just introduced also during the rally during a private meeting between the pair and to do more to save the environment. Meanwhile another cover investigation has found that Canadian Companies have been sending Plastic Waste overseas stead of recycling it at home canada exported more than 10000. 00 tonnes of it to malaysia and 2018 and its plain that thats led to a drastic increase in the number of illegal processing plants there. The inside this factory we see workers exposed to potentially toxic fumes without proper protection. Whoever this and there are ways to malaysia by the ways where those plastic weighs a lot of ways we will send it back and we will fight back even though we are small country we cannot be bullied by a developed countries are we also people of the climate march in montreal whether they were aware of whats happening with canadas waste and you know what happened months ago you said no. I know pointing to a recent c. D. C. Report a lot of this plastic containers being shipped to malaysia worked in india rated i just wanted to get your response to that how you dealt with that but your story if you ashamed of it we should take your. Dishes in a sense im sorry to hear that im going up and i. Kept up with what you know but. Its terrible 1st of all its if its shocking to say. We should do something about it long phrase. Should be Due Diligence as well looking to say look. We could do a lot of things with research or closeness to do with how shes going to do a lot of. These issues things here Start Service like really exist here that have said it over their words has said it was one of those Companies Mention the philippines has experienced similar problems to malaysia in recent years but president to put an end to the violations and send tons of rubbish back to canada and other countries as well physicist an environmental scientist in iran course says canadian politicians only Pay Lip Service to environmental concerns. True or not such a hypocrite he would not be marching in montreal he would be making an announcement that theyre going to ban this kind of moral and improper behavior in the world which is to export your talks that garbage most canadians do diligently recycle and they participate in the in that recycling programs on the. That their cities and governments are. Following how Companies Collect and store and recycle this material they cant imagine or they most canadians wouldnt think that these companies are actually selling the materials off to distant lands to to the developing world countries its mass hypocrisy is what were seeing now among our canadian politicians they dont do the real things that they have the power to do instead they would prefer to do token gestures like walk in this march. This is a weekend. National from moscow still ahead a weight loss pill which is reportedly behind as many as 2000 deaths since the drug make a face on them frogs will get into that for you after the break. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy. Let it be an arms race. Spearing dramatic. I dont see how that strategy will be very critical. To sit down and talk. Like Richard MarlesWorst Nightmare is. Dead planet everything on planet earth is dead because securitized we consumed it all well theres a teenager in the us. Heartbroken crying her eyes out because shes going to grow up on a dead planet. Securitized and sold and resold it. With nothing except a dream. The stories were across the saturday scandal that rocked france a drug maker that was on trial over a white last pill which some think may have killed as many as 2000 people the drug in question is cold it was introduced in 1906 for diabetics who were trying to lose weight france banned it 10 years ago but that was long enough the other European Countries and Health Officials claim it could be a contributing factor in the deaths of patients those who survived say their lives have been ruined. They stole my life i had just retired and thought i was going to begin a new life but they cant leave my house now i can see anyone i get tired all the time savvy i knew that it was so you poison the lucky ones like me are condemned to a slow death my life is ruined the truth was hidden from the patients a liar was created thats why there are doctors pharmacologists and officials that are being accused of conflicts of interest we expect exemplary sanctions because whats at stake is not only what survey did its also about prevention because we cannot say today that these practices do not exist our infraction was the 1st doctor who linked to the deaths with mediator she told us why this trial is so important. One that dont you suppose civic we have been waiting for this trial for many years because it has been announced and then it was always being delayed now im thinking about the victims some of them are now with us and have won that they died without making it to the end of this trial it makes me feel so sorry and attacked today the trial got in the way we see a very carefully crafted sequence of bringing the case to court a tough indictment and a spreadsheet totally revealing the level of the tragedy more than 3700 people have a right to compensation. So whats the current thinking while its alleged that the pill called High Pressure in vessels that supply blood to the lungs and that that in turn was delivered to the left atrium of the heart causing then a variety of heart problems its reported that some of the deaths being talked about in court were the result of Heart Failure and cardiac arrest but the lawyer for the drug maker says that the firm didnt know about the side effects resulting in those heart problems are in fresh again i believe 3rd french people today have little trust in medical companies and that is dangerous. The student. Many scientific publications proved it toxicity which was just enough to be discovered that alone would be enough not to buy this lie from severe criminal investigation in the victims interests is now under way but it is also in our interests it benefits society to show that the pharmaceutical companies crimes if they are recognized this crimes by the 4th one go unpunished it today we french people want to trust any medication its necessary to understand what happened with the mistake by the health care regulators it was and how the lab was cheating and we have to learn from that and everybody must remember. We are back that was the message of hundreds of thousands of hong kong those who gathered on saturday to mark 5 years since the start of the citys umbrella revolution the 2014 civil disobedience campaigns will be semi autonomous chinese city occupied for 79 days as protesters called for free elections of saturdays rally also represents a continuation of this summers prodemocracy demonstrations. Security forces quickly tried to disperse the crowd with water cannon and tear gas with some demonstrators threw bricks molotov cocktails and other objects at officers todays event was fully authorized by the authorities and was organized by the civil human rights fraud which has brought millions on to the streets in recent months. Victims of oppression in sudan are accusing a major french bank of complicity in human rights abuses in the country b. N. P. Part of the sudans defacto central bank during a period when widespread Rights Violations by the regime were being carried out in the country of france correspondent shouted to bensky takes a look at the accusations. The charges of crimes and genocide linked to the conflict in Sudans Darfur region have long been made against the countrys former president bashir big now an alliance of human rights organizations waltz to broaden the burden of responsibility to include french bank b. M. P. We call on the french authorities to promptly open an investigation to determine whether b. N. P. Is criminally responsible for its dealings with sudan 2 out of knowing plaintiffs have waived their right to remain anonymous they are my son an activist who spoke out against the government he was injured during an attack on his village in darfur later arrested and beaten and he says he saw close relatives shot and killed the 2nd is how a silly who was kidnapped by jun jaweed forces a loyal to the former Sudanese Government she was shot tortured and so 100 family members executed so why did they hold the bank responsible for what has happened to them behind the greatest crimes and human Rights Violations there is always money by granting the sudanese regime access to International Money markets b. N. P. Power allow the government to function pay its staff military and Security Forces make purchases abroad all while sudan was a pariah on the International Scene for planning and committing crimes in darfur and the crimes were her referring white spirit human Rights Violations between 20022008 led to the deaths of more than 300000. 00 sudanese civilians b. M. P. Power to sudans defacto central bank giving the former government access to International Money markets thats according to the u. S. Department of justice the complainants say that despite subsea. Evidence of such crimes they have largely gone on punished we want to make the voices of sudanese victims heard through this complaint to this day the have been denied the possibility of justice whether in sudan before the International Criminal court or in the u. S. That reference to the u. S. Relates to a previous case against b. M. P. Party about the violation of u. S. Sanctions partly for its dealings with sudan back in 2014 the bank settled that case for a record 8900000000. 00 following so why did the money end was it used to compensate the victims who had been identified and submitted their testimonies quite simply no before these testimonies could be taken into account the us Congress Passed a law that diverted the b. N. P. Power of us find to american victims of terrorism leaving the sudanese and other victims without any form of redress for the harm they suffered and which the bank is believed to have played a role so with the money in the pockets of the americans and not the sudanese victims now making another attempt to receive restitution this time here in france thats because its allow for corporations to be prosecuted if theyve played a role in crimes committed a broad r. T. Asked to be in for a statement it is yet to respond to that request the parish tribunal must now decide if this new complaint warrants a criminal investigation into b m p power does involvement any case though is likely to prove complex and lengthy meaning the victims still have a long way to go before they may feel that they perceived any justice.
