Live from moscow thanks for joining us on r. T. International. Welcomes the program. A prominent critic of donald trump has offered an eye opening interpretation of the u. S. President s now infamous ukraine phone call the ongoing impeachment of us the geisha appears to pick up steam mr trump struck back at democrat adam schiff accusing him of simply making up his version of the conversation. Want you to make up dirt on my political opponent understand lots of it. On this that theres a lot of talk about bidens 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 im also going to have attorney general. And we will get to the bottom of it. And by the way dont call me and ill call you when youre done with whatever 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. The house of representatives last a formal impeachment inquiry into donald trump alleged attempts to force his ukrainian counterpart to investigate. The son of former u. S. Vice President Joe Biden and trumps potential 2020 lection opponent legal and media analyst believes adam schiff has played fast and loose with the facts when it comes to 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 sent and then later on when 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. You know in another Development Americas special envoy to ukraine kurt volker has quit amid the phone calls scandal of course theres still the corruption allegations surrounding joe biden and his son the some of which have been dismissed as a Conspiracy Theory by the Mainstream Media you know to trying to look at whether theyre being a bit too quick to write off a 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 sr as Vice President was washingtons point man with kiev at the time meanwhile this man victor schalke in 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 i looked as im reading the 6 hours of the prosecutors 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 ukrainian 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 breeze 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 study that bunch of emails and 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 its just that you wait until the next week when the reason expected in the government. Its been revealed that on the same day prosecutors 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 raised the changes at the Prosecutors Office the visiting side was surprised by the info and sent the Us State Department has a 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 that 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. Civility of winding down the investigative actions in respect of this company but i refuse to close this investigation now where that would lead experts in conspiracy tagging or the us public as a whole i have no clue. Mass rallies the morning action over Climate Change have been held across canada with around half a 1000000 marching in montreal alone team climate activist got a phone and canadian Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau join the rally in a private meeting between the pair she urged him to do more to save the environment. And the march takes place just as an undercover investigation found that Canadian Companies have been sending Plastic Waste overseas instead of recycling at our home or canada exported more than 10000. 00 tonnes of it to malaysia in 2018 claim thats led to a drastic increase in number of illegal processing factories in the country inside this factory we see workers exposed to potentially toxic fumes without proper protection. Wherever this there are ways to malaysia where they ways where those plastic ways or whatever ways we will send it back and we will fight back even though we are a small country we cannot be bullied by a developed countries and we are the people at the climate model in montreal whether they were aware of whats happening with kind of his weight. And you know what happened because he got a few seconds no. Sign of pointing to a recent c. D. C. Report a lot of this plastic containers being shipped to malaysia where in india was raided i just wanted to get your response to that how you felt was that if youre serious if you ashamed if you wish to cure her whole new dishes in a sense im sorry to hear that my building has not. Kept up with whats happened since the last. Its terrible 1st of all except its shocking to say you know. We should do something about this long phrase you should be doing for what is well it would be interesting wouldnt it be to do a lot of things with research your closely how should the grillo this was initially things here start just like a big city here sort of send it over there where its said the philippines has experienced similar problems to malaysia in recent years president to put an end to the fall ations and sent tons of rubbish back to canada and other countries this is an environmental scientist then has run court 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 the recycling programs in the. Cities and governments are. Following how Companies Collect and recycle this material they cant imagine or the most canadians. Think that these companies are actually selling the limit to realtors off to distant lands to to the developing world countries its mass hypocrisy is what were seeing now among our 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. Victims of oppression and so daughter accusing a major french bank of complicity in human rights abuses in the country. Of the central bank during a period when widespread Rights Violations by the regime were carried out correspondent shot at there was kaye takes a look at those accusations. Charges of crimes and genocide linked to the conflict in Sudans Darfur region have been made against the countrys former president bashir but now an alliance of human rights organizations waltzed to broaden the 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 2 read forces unoiled 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 grave crimes and human Rights Violations there is always money by granting the sudanese regime access to International Money markets b. N. P. Power allowed 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 widespread 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 sips. Tensional 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 us 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 the 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 the sudanese victims now making another attempt to receive restitution this time here in france thats because it snows allow for corporations to be prosecuted if theyve played a role in crimes committed a brute party asked to be m. P. Power 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 as 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. Otty paris. Dicing with death to cost the vote saturdays president ial elections in afghanistan was mauled by violent terror attacks reportedly even dozens of people dead and many more injured more than that after the break. One of. The high. Munter in. The program voting is closed in afghanistans president ial election but its been marred by tragedy local afghan media are now reporting as many as 32 people were killed and more than 100 wounded as insurgent violence rocked the country explosions and missile attacks occurred at polling stations up and down the troubled nation the taliban has claimed responsibility. Its the 4th election since the u. S. Forces 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 though turnout is said been low the 1st results arent expected until mid october figures show that only 20 percent of afghans believe the vote is free and fair. And the Afghan Government security controls slightly more than half the country the rest is either under the taliban or contested there was confusion there was about 5000 polling stations open on saturday but thats down from the more than 7000. 00 initially planned hundreds of them were situated in dangerous areas afghan based journalist sold on fire as he spoke to us earlier about the election. Today morning the elections kicked off however the turnout is very low in many parts of the country especially in north and parts of afghanistan we have heard more than 20 blasts took place in the capital kabul in south or in kandahar province as well as in Logar Province and could this province the taliban are really no warrant to disrupt the process but you know despite all these threats spite 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 so far we have heard that 3 big attacks have been thwarted by the Government Forces because the Afghan Government announced that more than 100000 afghan Security Forces are deployed to secure the process still at the turnout overall turnout shows that people are scared off the going to the polling stations doing good c. Q. Very busy with. The were using to. Do that trying to see voters and for of these laws no one should be afraid of any of them they should vote for president because it is their right to vote as you know those. Who would be sufficient. The security is good right now we are proving to have a democratic country on land should be peaceful and our people should be happy. That the center for conflict and peace studies outlined for us the complexities and challenges posed by south a selection. I hope im wrong but we will enter through election crisis where the top contenders particularly the president in his chief executive of the law both refuse to accept the results so i think that point the likely scenario would be that selection cannot be sorted out then lets have. An interim government where 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 of the army because in 2014 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. Some of the headlines from across the world now hundreds of thousands of people gathered in hong kong this weekend to mark 5 years the start of the revolution the 2014 Civil Disobedience Campaign saw the semi autonomous chinese cities they talk you buy it for 79 days protesters call for free elections such as rally also presents a continuation of this summers prodemocracy demonstrations.

Yellow vest activists were out in force in cities across france on saturday continuing their protest campaign against fall in Living Standards the demonstrations took place despite the government having announce the 9000000000. 00 euro tax cut for french households next year a move aimed at helping struggling families our sister channel r. T. For also asked people in paris if theyre satisfied with the mark one of illustrations concessions. On paying taxes because theyre destitute he simply have nothing these people youre seeing here are badly in need of help of course for you there are those who are here is holiday whitty but many are really precarious situation where they have jobs that dont pay now t. When you allow them to perhaps. You would if you know us on the financial level mcgraw has done ridiculous things when you see how much ordinary people aaron its shocking. Staying in france which has been rocked by Health Scandal drug maker verizon trial over a weight loss pill which some people think may have killed as many as 2000 people the drug in question is called mediator it was introduced in 1976 for the. 6 trying to lose weight france banned it 10 years ago but that was still long after other European CountriesHealth 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 cant see anyone i get tired all the time something i knew that it was so important the lucky ones like me are condemned to a slow death my life is ruined the truth was hidden from the patients a lie i 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 everyone fresh on was the 1st doctor who linked the deaths with mediators she told us why the court case is so important. When i told you supposed 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 not with us and one that they died without making it to the end of this trial it makes me feel so sorry and upset today the trial got in the way we see a very carefully crafted sequence of bringing the case to a tough indictment and a spreadsheet totally reviewing the level of the tragedy more than 3700 people have a right to compensation. So whats the background to this alleged that the pill caused High Pressure in vessels that supply blood to the lungs which in turn lives it to the left atrium of the heart causing a variety of problems now reported that some of the deaths were the result of Heart Failure and cardiac arrest. For the drug maker has said that the firm didnt know about these side effects which resulted in heart problems in fresh again believes french people today have little trust in pharmaceutical companies. Many scientific publications proved the toxicity which was just enough to be discovered that alone would be enough not to buy this lie from severe the criminal investigation in the victims interests is not on the way in that it is also in our interests it benefit society to show that the pharmaceutical companies crimes if they are recognized this crimes by the 4th wont go unpunished 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 all. The corrupt office 5 in the morning here in moscow what you want the International States you know off the worlds apart back in 30 minutes with the latest. Its like Richard BurrowsWorst Nightmare is like hi im richard burr welcome to dead planet everything on planet earth is dead because been securitized and weve consumed it all well theres a teenager in the us. Or the heartbroken crying her eyes out because shes going to grow up on a deadline it because all been securitized and sold and resold and repack has really propagated a 1000 times 10000 times were left with nothing except a dream of what it was what the laws of this is no more. Polo and welcome to worlds apart of the big hopes for the usa rainy and summit on the sidelines of the Un General Assembly deflated ass promptly as they appeared giving way to the carnival of pietschmann proceedings against President Trump but while this both life has now moved to washington d. C. Curity situation in the gulf remains perilous and open to manipulation is it likely to get even worse now the trumps attention is diverted elsewhere well to discuss that im now joined by mr haiti and iranian writer and the chairman of the gates still an institute in europe mr to hear you very good to talk to you thank you very much for your time as youre very much now when President Trump was delivering his speech at the General Assembly earlier this week he seemed rather angry and some. Observer said the time interpreted that as his frustration of it they ran eons i think in hindsight we can now as safely say that it was probably due to the impeachment speculations as unrelated as these 2 things appear to be do you think they may influence one another do you think trumps political different difficult it may have any impact on his it rainy and policy well i dont know its a matter of pure speculation but what is important is that youre on the United States have 2 sets of problems bilateral problems that go back 40 years and multilateral problems that need attention so the mood in washington the problems of the present trouble may have some nuances in as far as if u. S. Is concerned on u. S. Policy but the longer run or this strategy. U. S. Policy towards you know in the form of job Islamic Republic reluctant i think at the very least we can say that both iran and perhaps saudi arabia are following the u. S. As Political Developments on both countries a calibrating that moves depending on what they think trumps reaction is going to be a what he is chances of political survival are is it fair to say of this point that the iranians definitely want trump out and the saudis definitely want
