Carry. The arab and elena home free glad you could join me we started in malta where a series of high level resignations has shaken the government and made a growing scandal surrounding the murder of the investigative journalist Stephanie Cutter want to its over 2 years ago now 3 senior government figures have resigned another says that he has suspended himself the opposition is calling for Prime Minister joseph miscount to step down saying that the only decisions hes taking ought to protect those around him. Making a short sharp exit and angry crowd through accusations and eggs at multis Prime MinisterJoseph Muscat as he escaped parliament shrouded by tight security hours earlier his chief of staff and 2 ministers resigned the fallout of a Police Investigation gathering pace into the murder of prominent journalist daphne carolina. Carolina an Investigative Reporter described as a one woman wiki leaks was blown up by a car bomb 2 years ago she had become known for exposing cronyism within the countrys political and Business Elite although 3 men face trial for carrying out the murder the mastermind has not yet been identified last week a suspect believed to be a middleman in the murder was arrested but the Prime Minister granted a pardon if the man helps find the masterminds. Behind the next morning a multi is businessman was apprehended on his luxury yacht allegedly preparing to flee the businessman to is now reportedly seeking immunity in exchange for cooperating with the Police Protesters say carolina there was a victim of what they call endemic corruption at the highest levels of motorist government.

You know and yet incompletely who this is only its really on the run the country needs stability please the moment the place on the saw on the stop that on my mandate might actions and decisions in the coming hours and days will be aimed to an. Sure that stability is maintained at the. Protest to say democracy and the country has long been on the slide. Down broken in more ways than one. But case nicolay says a journalist for the times of malta he joins us now from the capital the letter welcome to the program keith last night we saw the Prime Minister pelted with extremist allies have already gone is the next. That is the question everybody is asking the president is there himself had said 2 years ago when he heard one another mandate to govern for 5 years that this would be his last term the problem for the Prime Minister is that hes probably made his biggest miscalculation his biggest bit of judgment in his political career because ford is minister had this chief of staff has been there too late to to to leave and resign because of their panama companys initiative which was 2 years ago for 3 years and the Prime Minister and involved in pledge that he would be back isnt really responsible and shoulders possibility for his decision now that these people are under investigation over a contract killing theres no other way no other way practically for him then resign because he committed them big miscalculation on judgement even though many people can believe he was he knew absolutely nothing about what was going on now daphne carolina could he she was not had more than 2 years ago now when you look back at the events of the past week how close are we to finally finding out who orchestrated audit america. Undoubtedly there was a big step forward in the last few days there has always been suspicious have always been suspicious deaths because this could be politically motivated because theres an account of that its a Prime Minister out on corruption claims involving politicians and her biggest story which she was yet to reveal in what you have given notice she was investigating was dispersed aish can corruption claim that politicians had received bribes or were due to receive bribes in return for giving the concert the ability of millions of euro contracts and the fact that no there are suspects who are open only under interrogation mentioning mr sharon barry and maybe war cabinet members its a big step forward because before there was it was more of like speculation at least in the in the public eye and the family of the ethnic i want to get it you have been very vocal in that criticism of the Prime Minister what is it exactly that they would like to see from him now of course they would like him to completely resign to move their way out of the political scene and to bring the masterminds those who really were behind this this concert going into justice there is speculation that it could have been more than one mustnt mind there is speculation that it could have been 23 or 4 persons possibly politicians who poured money into it at the to make its going to getting there is also you know this is just speculation it could have cost more it will cost millions this getting genest Cape May County from that kind of multi joining us from the capital by lex thank you. Well the new e. U. Commission executive all of the European Union will be presented to parliament in a strasbourg later today for approval but with a representative from one Member States missing 27 a Member States have already endorsed the line up which was presented of course by us in a form that deadline at the commissions new president but in violation of a usual United Kingdom has refused to put forward a candidate it is usually the bloke at the end of january having already delayed its departure 3 times now funding by now needs the European Parliament to sign off on her commission so that it can be in place by the 1st off december hasnt been an easy journey for us lets take a look at how she said since her election back in july. A salary of relief over a very close wind back in july it was a lot of fun and got approved by a margin of only 9 points i feel so on notes and im overwhelmed and i think you for the trust you place in me. The slim victory was a strong 1st indication that the road to the new commission would be dumpy. Very bumpy indeed because after she got approved this happened. First the hunt garion and the Romanian Commission candidates were rejected by the European Parliament before they could even be heard on top of that. The French Commission hopeful got the thumbs down after too long and painful hearings. But the real problem was that it took romania a law long time to nominate a replacement but eventually they did and their candidate passed just like the replacements for a mission station hungry without neighbors bachmans and france to be king by all thats the end of the story what. No no. Of course theres always the u. K. Prime minister Boris Johnson kept bringing the low blows and refused to nominate a commissioner despite being in the e. U. For a while longer that punch could make the whole commission illegal but the commissions Legal Services think they found a way around that so does this mean fundal lions commission will finally be approved by the European Parliament. Heres someone who should know the head of the Biggest Political Group in part of. The proposal from was a live on the line is a good ones and an ambitious commission who wants to deliver on what people told us that in the Election Campaign on climate on economic strengths and on digital so that is good and the people fully supportive so we have unity in the support for was a law from the lions commission. So it looks like it was enough and a lion will finally be able to celebrate but not for long in this parliament there wont be any easy wins for the new e. U. Commission. Well for more im joined by our correspondent bob a vessel in brussels by the as if underline she seems to have the backing of man had they been and the European Peoples Party but does she have enough backing to secure approval. Yes really seems helen that in the meantime the other parties have come around anyway has the support of the big Good New Group the liberals which call themselves renewed these days is she also has the social democrats and she will have a handful of votes from other parties so it is rather certain that she will go through and the most painful part of this whole nomination an election process for her is over bought bought of course we know that in the future she is going to have to fight for a majority in this parliament over and over again and yet there are still a number of issues the u. K. For example hasnt presented a commissioner the e. U. Apparently has found a legal way around that what if they come up with yes theres heavy simple because 1st they ask nicely as is the custom in the European Union and say would you please please please nominate a commission of britain said no we cant we wont till we have elections and so on and so for us and then they sort of Legal Proceedings infringement procedures those are called and it just means that a member country isnt fulfilling is obligations now usually these things are quite lengthy the year pino court of justice will in the end sort of have a verdict on it but in the meantime everybody hopes britain will get rid brecks it sorted one way or the other either the conservatives will carry a majority and sort of push it through in general or there will be a rethink in london so the European Union things theyre on the safe side if they sort of put this in the legal sphere now this is the biggest shop in the European Union so one of the toughest task now facing for denying. Big job big problems of course and or sort of on the line has known this she promises full steam ahead she says that she really wants to get going it big green deal is on her agenda one of the 1st things she wants to tackle and then of course there is the Digital Economy that is going to need much more support in europe she has the increasing rift was a right wing authors retiree and leaning parties in some Eastern European countries and then also her seat is sort of awkward between paris where among them a crank sits who was her biggest supporter who sort of pushed her into the job and berlin on the other side and the relationship between paris and berlin at the moment is a bit strange to put it mildly so she really has an uphill battle lets not forget the refugee problem that hasnt been solved that she really hasnt up to battle on her hands but she says shes ready to go and she seems rather full of hope and full of beans at this point of time just a few things to be getting on with and our correspondent there in brussels for us thank you very much. They say can it now as some of the other stories making news around the walls polls have opened in the general election in namibia in South West Africa the ruling party held a final Campaign Rally urging people to vote for a tried and tested Party President again gobies facing discontent over the poor state of the economy despite the country being rich in minerals. Clashes have broken out between Security Forces and protesters in the colombian capital bogota the unrest erupted off to demonstrate his announced they would hold a new nationwide strike following crisis talks with the president the protests which started last week are the biggest the country has experienced in decades. Police in spain have towed a drug smuggling submarine to shore it is the 1st knockers sub to be seized in europe and investigators believe it is carrying several tons of cocaine from south america to ecuadorian men were arrested when the vessel intercepted off north in spain on sunday. Where u. S. President donald trump is in florida rallying his supporters and he cant ignore the continuing impeachment inquiry which is gathering pace and wait but he says its an attempt by what he calls quote the establishment to stop him working for the people a correspondent for the n. A. S. Was the rap. Bill does the president from home coming here to the state of florida to move his official residence here recently from new york to the public and of course were focused on 2020 this is an important swing state which from one bike in 2016 but the ongoing in peach minting corey has caused a long shadow over President Donald Trump put it he remains defiant its a terrible hoax last week someone testified that i told him quote what he wants the ukraine i said i want nothing this is a quote i want no way pro quo i want nothing tell president still its going to do the right the way the failed washington establishment is trying to stop me because im fighting for you and because were winning very simple. Polls here in the United States shown by voters are divided over whether president from should be impeached and removed from office to supporters here in florida have shown that theres a board for him is the only way. I think that its very make us may not have any theory of anything its all this that the way that people interpret things. Each of them have been asked and then of them having the evidence thats completely ridiculous has no basis. And i think its just a political were trying to think if they had what they needed to be done. With me talking about the dirty hands think they have its a big book sidetracking its the same thing i was going to see maybe theyre trying to boost their experience of being president i think its ridiculous i definitely think people should be able to have their opinions if they dont like trump thats ok but hes really done nothing wrong that she caused him to be fixed you. While you were young going impeachment inquiry entries a new series next week but this week is thanksgiving here in the United States and President Trump is staying here in florida to enjoy several days off. Well in the u. K. There are just over 2 weeks to go to what is being described as a momentous general election and ahead of it fears of russian meddling in a very tough been reignited well last week the Ruling Conservative Party revealed it had received a major donation from the wife of a former russian minister that was off to evidence emerged linking british Prime MinisterBoris Johnson to a russian on the ga that oligarchy is former k. G. B. Officer and examine the now the guardian reported that Boris Johnson met him in italy in april last year at a party organized by nephew depps son if gainey until recently i guess on that level dev had denied that that meeting took place. Well one of the investigative journalists who broke that story is with me here in the studio now carol it had wanted to from the british newspaper the guardian welcome to you carol now you have previously uncovered evidence of russian interference in rags and of course 2 weeks we have that momentous general election in britain could that be influenced by russians now as well well the fact is that we know that russia seeks to just stabilize countries all across the world and we know that the f. B. I. Report has shown in extraordinary detail the lengths the russia went to to attack the american president ial election in 2016 and we know that it was using some of these same techniques in our election the e. U. Referendum which was just a few months earlier and it was being forced on exactly the same platforms the social media platforms particularly facebook that was used in the us election so this is weve got a wealth of evidence but in person this has until very very recently been completely ruled very late in the game indeed and what kind of tactics do you think could be used and for example in this election what we know is just we know is it russia is you know is a must at its online does information propaganda and manipulation and so all of those same tactics that were used in 2016 are very likely to be still being used now but just general sophisticated and theyre better at it im sure people want to know a lot more about this basically in light of the fact that theyre going to be costing their vote very soon that said theyre the Ruling Conservative Party has actually refused to release ringback until off to the election and Intelligence Committee report into suspected russian interference in britain why do you think that is so is this. Drawn research you ation that were an impersonal we have been in complete denial about the subject of russian interference in our elections and unlike ameri
