That utilize their ads you cant trust these companies to tell you whos good and bad you need to take that into your own hands. Good morning just today here in moscow this wednesday the 4th of december live from the r. T. International World News Center kevin owen here with the update and 1st the saga rumbles on washington then the u. S. House Intelligence Committee has delivered a report detailing how trump allegedly abused his office for personal gain a mass media were quick to say that it marks the start of a new phase of the impeachment process. So tonight i ask you how did we get here to the brink of impeachment well the scandals actually get in the works for months House Judiciary Committee takes over tasked with drawing up articles of impeachment before the full house votes on impeaching the president everybody should be opposed to the president being able to obstruct justice because what it means is we have a president who can operate with impunity and immunity for 300 page trump you create inquiry report was based on testimony given a series of closed door and public hearings next this morning arties kellam open examines the documents a bit deeper. Well the report from the house Intelligence Committee democrats essentially alleges 2 things about donald trump 1st it alleges that he conditioned military aid to ukraine on an announcement that would have been beneficial to his Reelection Campaign and secondly it alleges that he obstructed the house of representatives impeachment inquiry investigation now adam schiff representing democrats came forward and painted a pretty grim prick share of donald trump and his activities this is adam schiff this report chronicles a scheme by the president id states to coerce an ally ukraine that is at war with an adversary russia into doing the pleasure of the president s political dirty work and he was willing to sacrifice the National Security of the United States by withholding military aid and diplomatic recognition in the form of that white house meeting in order to get what he wanted now before departing the country on monday donald trump dismissed the allegations that were expected to be leveled in this report this is what donald trump said prior to leaving the country before the report was released by the radical. Democrats decide what im going to set up a year ago that what im going to do that was. One of the most important. Thing. For them to be doing. Putting the feet of the table which. I grew up with in a recent interview the ukrainian leaders alinsky also dismissed these allegations about president trumps behavior and interactions with him look i never talked to the president from the position of a quid pro quo thats not my thing i dont want us to look like bagus now many witnesses testified during the impeachment inquiry hearings but observers wondered if they really. You made a strong case that donald trump had been inappropriate in his dealings with ukraine this is some of the testimony that was heard there was no mention of withholding aid on the call correct thats correct and there was no quid pro quo correct correct was there any reference to withholding aid you know there was not any reference to bribery you know there was not any reference to quid pro quo no there was not you have any information regarding any criminal activity that the president of the United States has been involved with paddle. Now before this report was released on monday we had a report from the republicans that was released it was 123 pages long and it defended the actions of u. S. President donald trump saying that his dealings with ukraine had not been inappropriate and had not violated the law fact that donald trump is out of the country celebrating the 70th anniversary of nato the North Atlantic Treaty Organization that many have pointed to the timing of the report as being somewhat suspicious however while some are looking at the report and saying it shows very very damning evidence against donald trump others are looking at the report and saying its simply a rehash of long discredited allegations different views from different sides of the political spectrum here in the United States however there are many concerned about the papers for us the floor of the macross a mage seeds of for instance is convinced by the report on this line of things is going to tell meaning. What we have here is unprecedented and no one knows what it means because it Means Nothing why do we call it an impeachment inquiry because if it was an impeachment hearing or an impeachment proceeding the president would have been allowed to invite and to subpoena witnesses but since they didnt do that and didnt want him to do that they call that an impeachment inquiry and they have not changed one i ota from what they said when they began the inquiry that and i will paraphrase it the president used to his position his authority under article 2 of the constitution for personal and or political benefits. And the last time i checked every president since George Washington as done this this is not impeachable it looks like this is on track and the impeachment train is moving but its very easy to deal rail it or for that train to run out of gas i do believe that the democratic report was factual and obviously the republican response was perhaps a fairy tale that people do want to read perhaps to put someone to bed specifically you have very different responses be on the lookout for this one we have to look at it says different order was given that are going to come out that will be pretty straightforward theres going to be an abuse of power because as you say in the quote he took his interests above the National Interest theres also going to be obstruction some is obstruction of congress not letting people cooperate and also obstruction of congress in general where you could look at the emails were into a secret file that was later found out so that these 2 or 3 major counts and maybe subdivisions under them. What else would a day it is like to state were going to run president says to run has killed thousands of protest is but that comes without any solid evidence this unrest in the country was triggered last month by a decision to russian fuel amid ongoing economic hardships. Is killing perhaps thousands of thousands of people right now as we speak thats why they are you to. See whats going on but that wasnt the people and you know that around. Irans acknowledge that protesters had died but said that the figure is far less than 200. 00 the number that amnesty internationals presented during the crisis the iranian government said shut down the internet the demonstrations highlight the widespread economic discontent gripping the country since may last year when the u. S. Imposed crushing sanctions of to unilaterally withdrawing from the 2050 nuclear deal the us secretary of state has said that washingtons much. Pressure campaign was essentially designed to foment outrage among iranians that im on the sanctions have been incredibly effective and were simply were simply doing this to keep america safe to keep the middle east more stable and to enable the reign of people to. Convince the regime that it needs to change its ways in the most fundamental and basic way to just ask iran to be a buck a normal country so while lows u. S. Sanctions lead to the rest of the country have also joined washingtons pressure on iran covering that this morning egos down off. The u. S. And its allies are unleashing a bashing from all quarters over how to iran is dealing with unrest from diplomatic to economic it seems they will stop at nothing for instance israel has come up with this heres a crazy idea how broke every turkey in the world is really arabs iranians americans europeans and everyone else united for one purpose hope the long suffering iranian people gain open access to all social media a world wide. For freedom call up your most brilliant friends. Go through the night to do them possible and if that fails theres always plan b because how can you really go against the will of a Disney Princess with frozen to come out today its a good time to remind people that the Iranian Regime has frozen 18000000 iranians from the internet for a whole week elva has a message for the regime in tehran let it go but for its critics irans disobedience equals deviance the iranian people will enjoy a Better Future when their government behaves like a normal nation the choice is with the regime i have asked the iranian protesters to send us their videos photos and information documenting the regimes crackdown on protesters the u. S. Will expose and sanction abuses tehran has been maintaining it was behaving like a good country abiding to every paragraph of the nuclear deal signed in 2015 and which the us unilaterally abandoned 3 years later every other signatory rallied against that move and against the sanctions that washington really imposed on to iran these sanctions have been effective indeed by devastating irans economy and leading to a person optic crisis the countrys. Currency plummeted inflation surpassed the 40 percent mark of this tobar and do shortage of life saving treatment has seen irans government literally begging to allow medical imports in instead of her friends are holed promises. To sell products and them iran gets with beater car of their wants to iran has been saying it was backed into a corner either take measures and swallow your pill or let the economy crumble while us rhetorical that says that we support the reigning people such as what trump is saying or secretary powell i would say is ludicrous because you cannot support a people and sanction them at the same time in american they have only one goal in mind they want to topple the reigning government they have been trying to do fool for for decades i mean their intelligence agencies are constantly working to undermine the rain and government and the very reason for that is because iran has been challenging us hegemony in the region for the past 4 decades the israelis like the americans theyre not really in support of the reign of people or in support of democracy in iran in the israelis have constantly threatened iran in there you actually want to topple the government because they feel that iran is their main rival in the region. Past the morning the u. K. Government is facing a massive backlash after the release of a heavily redacted report of fracking industry and what remains of the one secret document seems to show a concerted plan to develop a positive image for the controversial gas Extraction Method among the general public. The conservatives have taken money from Oil Executives address the rights of communities and enabled broken companies to threaten their local environment the fact they have tried to cover the sub by rejecting pages of critical information for the illustrates this governments contempt for the public this is the conservatives idea of being open about their field fracking experiment forced to release their report theyve heavily censored it these heavily redacted government reports shows reference to secret plans to run a professional complain used by the weight of Scientific Evidence and strength of Public Opinion against fracking i dread to think what we havent been allowed to see well this report came to light after greenpeace won a long legal battle with the government over the suppression of the document out of 48. 00 pages 37. 00 were totally blacked out fracking is being burned in the u. K. Since last month after massive protests lippa trenka takes up the story today. They high tech god knows what sticking out of the grounds that earns some people cash and literally shakes other peoples homes those other people for years have been teaming up with green activists to win a war against fracking in britain. Areas from believable if you can believe. In finally last month came the victory at least for the timing the controversial method of shale gas extraction was banned in the u. K. Under the Prime Minister who once called it a glorious news for humanity and now that it seems there is no more need to come out and protest the Cabinet Office has at the last released a secret report on the fracking industry despite these lines on the paper no part of this report or its appendices is to be released under the freedom of information act so you want to rate something that the activists were trying to get a glance at for almost 2 years theres a little problem heres what it looks like from the 48 pages seen by the guardian 37 are entirely blacked out and only one the very front is left uncensored so if youre still keen to get to know about the skeletons in the industrys closet good luck why would so much stuff remain hidden looking at this black wall of redacted pages people will be wondering why theres so little the government is willing to reveal about fracking and so much it wants to hide if ministers have really dropped their support for this polluting industry why not publish this report in full and come clean about whats been going on behind closed doors. For years still though theres enough to scratch your heads over after reading the uncensored bits in there heres the gist of a few ideas there are issues with the fracking industries progress the main one is public opposition to fracking it needs to be dealt with the government should develop a pro shale narrative and spread the word d e c c is already undertaking crucial work on communications to increase public acceptability of shale for example creation of objective information Material Development of pro shale national and regional narrative shale champions and among other useful moves that whitehall needs to take is finding ways to speed up planning in response to operators concerns which is also sometimes an obstacle planning times need to be shortened and process needs to be predictable which all makes you wonder why would the guys in charge ban fracking at all in such a document there are always going to be sensitive parts that are embarrassing to the government that are sensitive that could harm you know the industry potentially in the future or that could show the government being too cooperative with industry that might show motives. That are the public would not see in a good light its to protect their their image and to protect their ability to move forward and continue to do what they think they need to do for the nation which is different from what they tell the public of course because they tell the public whatever narrative suits them in terms of getting elected and so on but typically its for domestic political reasons that you would ban it theres no other reason that i can think of depending on how things develop geopolitically there might be a big impetus to develop u. K. Shale and in which case theyll want to do. As quickly as possible.
