from propaganda and managed manipulation to the colossal consequences, the listening post reveals the powers behind the media and the impact on, on life. it's one of the biggest reasons why iraq is back at a democracy. there's no accountability. oh, now to sierra ah came over george's runoff. election for the u. s. senate sees democrat incumbent rafael will not come out on top. ah, hello, i'm on the inside. this is out. is there a life or is that coming up? a blow for former u. s. president. donald trump, his family business is convicted of tax fraud and other financial crimes.

argentina's, vice president, christina, to cushion. i was sentenced to 6 years in prison. guilty of corruption in a $1000000000.00 fort case. ah, and epic when her morocco, the atlas lines no. can spain to advance the call to finals the world come for the 1st time in history? ah. also heated an incredibly tight race the runoff election. the u. s. state of georgia has a winner with incumbent democrats. rafael warnock, taking the last remaining u. s. senate seat warnock was up against the republican herschel walker of former football saw less than one percent of the vote. separate the 2 candidates in last month's midterm election, which forced the run off as take

a quick look here of the breakdown of those numbers with 95 percent of votes counted across the state. rafael warnock has a lead, had a lead of to stove 48000 ballots according to the associated press. let's get more or less. we can speak to laura, we're sell who is a professor political science at georgia southern university. she joins us now from savannah, georgia. thank you for your time. it was a very, very tight race, but reverend warnock has managed to win reelection the georgia senate race your reaction to the result? perhaps the most surprising part of the election was turnout. turn out in the selection was significantly higher than most mid term elections. and in particular, with the runoff between walker that turned out that approximately 77000 people turned out to vote in the runoff election, who had not voted in the general election,

which suggests significant interest. now has a walker was supported by trump. do you think that cost, who can the end it's possible, notably, former president trump did not come to campaign for a walker in the past few weeks. and it's possible that that's due to the controversy surrounding the former president. say the democrats now have an extra seat in the senate, sir, at pads their majority by one seed to $51.00 to $49.00. so, how much more influence does that give them? is it incredibly significant? it's significant in the sense that the way the senate is divided up, the majority party has the majority on each individual committee within the senate . so since the democrats have one more sen, they will hold the majority on all of the committees. this is significant both in

terms of legislation and potential judicial appointments and this is a moment of history, isn't it? the 1st. c black sentences to win a full 6 year term in georgia. it's a big moment for the state of georgia. and in addition, it's a big moment for the united states. we've had an election that was this close and i think the division in the results exemplifies the division that currently exists in the united states. okay, good to get your thoughts. laura wessel professor political science at georgia southern university. former us president donald trump's company has been found guilty of tax fraud in new york and as in mary, out of legal ways facing charm, fizzy campaigns for office. again, i cannot as well it has a major financial implication for the trump organization. these crimes of tax evasion went on for some 15 years. and although the fine itself may not be that

substantial, that will be divided. i decided by the judge in january, he'll announce exactly what the fine is, but the economic impact on the organization will be substantial. obviously, it's going to reflect his relationship with banks with other lenders, with other companies in terms of it's ongoing attempts to do business. this, at the judgment is likely to reflect very negatively on the trump organization as a whole. but for donald trump himself, it's just adding to his long list of legal woes. one must remember that there's a separate case pending against donald trump and his organization wrote by the new york attorney general that is pending. and even more seriously is the investigation being conducted by the department of justice into 2 elements. one is donald trump's taking documents from the white house to his mar logo estate,

and how serious was the misuse as its put of classified documents? the other issue that the attorney justice department is investigating is trump's attempt to overthrow the 90 a 2020 election. so this is now just another in the long list of legal problems facing donald trump. claire finkelstein is from the university of pennsylvania law school. she says trumps legal problems may see him fail to be selected as the republicans 2024 presidential candidate. these are a 17 council, basically a tax fraud and tax evasion. and what the company was doing was giving extensive benefits to its top employees as a way of helping the company with regard to its tax bill by declaring business expenses for these employee benefits. and at the same time,

not taxing those individual so that they were getting to wish and pay tax free and so on by the from organization. what's also very serious here is that this conviction comes as part of a collusion between the top executives like alan y soleberg and the trump organization. and so immediately the question is, what other top executives in the organization? for example, donald trump were in on the scheme and could also be held criminally responsible. it does seem as though a lot of his fellow republicans are fleeing from donald trump and are looking for alternatives to sort of recess 8. the g o p, the trump back candidates did rather poorly in the mid terms. and so we see a lot of g o p higher up saying look, you know, we need to back off this candidate. we are possibly not going to back him though.

of course, if he did turn out to be the selection for the republican party, presumably it would be party over principal once again, and they would vote for lodge insane. as vice president, christina fernandez, the question i, one of the country's most powerful politicians has been sentenced to 6 years in prison. she's been found guilty of corruption in a $1000000000.00 food case. theresa buy reports from one to theories. i'm the social borders of christina, fernandez. the kirschner who came to the federal court building in when a site is to protest against argentine, as judiciary commissioner was sentenced to 6 years in prison. and given a lifetime ban on holding public office. after being found guilty of corruption is the 1st time an argentinean vice president has been convicted of a crime, wellston office. following full amelia says kirschner is

a victim of political persecution, to log again, and it is the same. so what they want to do is get her out of politics in a good way or a bad way. they fail to kill her, and now they have this option 3 months ago, kirshner was the target of an assassination attempt. when a man pulled the trigger of his hand gun inches from her face as she greeted supporters, the gun failed to fire. on tuesday, a panel of 3 judges found kirschner guilty of aggravated fraud. continental christina elizabeth fernandez. de kitchener is sentenced to 6 years imprisonment. life disqualification from holding public office legal accessories and the cost of the proceedings because she is criminally responsible for the offense or fraud, lent administration to the detriment of the public. oh, kirshner is accused of directing millions of dollars of public works contracts to a family friend. prosecutor say,

they have found dozens of irregularities in public works contract in the province of santa cruz. or the cushion of family originally comes from sort of the former breasted and denies old charges accusing the trivial in charge of a political witch hunt and serving the interests of the opposition you to hold. you must see. this is much simpler. it's not dull fat, but it's not a judiciary party. it's not a patent state and mafia. it's a judicial mafia. christina hernandez, the kirshner was argentina presidents. courtney tiers between 20072015. she's now this country's vice president. she's a device of bigger and best control, while there are many who continued to some border. there are many others who would like to see her in prison. oh kirschner is expected to appeal against the court's decision. despite her conviction, she has congressional immunity and is unlikely to head to jail any time sooner. she doesn't want the baby, so i'll just eat at one site. is there

a time for an update of all the sports action that catherine 2022, far as smell as as a welled cup studio. morocco made world have history reaching the quarter finals for the 1st time by beating spain on penalties spain playing. and the blue tit threatened to go ahead. in the 1st half doctor, intercepting a pass by the goalkeeper, they managed to hit the cross bar, but the entire play was ruled off. sy finished go less after 90 minutes and extra time. pablo sarabia could only hit the post, so the match went into a penalty shoot out. throbbing, then hit the post again with spain. first a spot kick and spain's a 2nd penalty was saved by cooper bono. and he emerged as morocco's hero saving spain's 3rd attempt. he, me to score the winning penalty for marco 3. know the score in the shoot out

a historic moment for morocco as they reached the last 8 for the 1st time out of fame back out the tournament in the round, and 15 for the 2nd time in a row, alexia bryan watched with fans at the old port in doha, they were not only supporters from morocco, but also other countries backing the last remaining african help. oh, add a parent's name to love the app or jim saying i

represent a big site next up for morocco, its portugal. they booked their place in the last state within and found a quinn over switzerland gotten falla ramo, started the game ahead of christiane, a rinaldo, and got the lead for portugal. in the 17th minutes, they were to add the break when peppy sword over the swift defenders, the 39 year old becoming oldest player to score in the world cup, knock at stitches. portugal kept up the pressure early in the 2nd half rose black. the 2nd of the night before school was added by raphael get arrows put the team in total control to where to win pulled one back through men while a kanji their 1st knockout stage goal since 1954. but the driving continued

ramos, completing the trip to this school. that is 67 minutes and an injury time. roxanne leo made it 6. 1 is that the final nail in switzerland, coffin, portugal going through to the quarter finals for the 1st time since 2006 on that occasion. they finished for let's get some reaction from our analysts swanner and go and asher kani geisha and asha. let's start with you. morocco flying the flag for the arab nation? ab for the continent of africa. yeah, absolutely. it's incredible to see marcus succeed than come this far because i've been preparing for this moment for many years. they've invested millions of dollars into, you know, growing and developing football and really you talk about the impact it has on the arab world and africa. it's just because, you know, to tell you when you grew up as a young child and you see people that look like you, making it, you know,

to the quarter finals and a chance of making it to the semi finals and perhaps who knows, go and challenge for the, for the trophy, it means so much and just in a video of the king of morocco mohammed the 6th, you know, on the streets of morocco wearing the jersey. i don't think i've ever seen the king, you know, not in tradition aware. and, you know, sit it up somewhere on the throne in morocco, but to see him, you know, go and celebrate with a citizen. it means so much, not just for the arab world and africa, but also for the people of morocco. if you go to any institution in morocco, sports institution, it will have the, you know, the picture of the 1986 score that made it to the round of 16. but now these squared has and their place, the data will be up there alongside that script. yeah, it's definitely a proud moment. one. know, rinaldo reports you gold, but do you think they were better? yeah, they were, i mean this not only the score proved it, but the way they played proved it because it could have been more than that. that

would even is even scarier about this match. and not only that, today we got to see how deep portugal are in that position. i mean it's, it's not just, you know, this is england. so being able to come in and do what he did with it was hattrick. those other homos comes in and just actually dominates in the air, but the cuff i allow, comes in later on, and scores after christian roller comes in. so now we're all to find himself in a pissed position where it won't, maybe i'm not, that's not that it. we are priceless or not that invaluable to the squad. there's other players that can fill in if i'm not around, but yet you still do have christian and all those that he's in the hall. okay, so who do you think is, can i get 3 in the quarter finals? is a portugal or morocco topic one kind of kinda that heart mind kind of thing. yeah, right now is that the mentality of morocco but also the logical saying hey, portugal is a better side. portugal does have the pedigree. you can't go wrong with pedigree. so i, i would have to have to say for sure. okay,
