ah, the european parliament has suspended wanted its vice president and 3 others. they've been arrested. suspected of taking cash bribes from the gulf emerett guitar, which is hosting the world cup. the european parliament vice president eva kylie raised eyebrows recently for her public trays of guitars. labour reforms not a word about reports of migrant workers being treated like slaves. how much did that good? p r cost guitar on friday. police in brussels rated the vice president's home. they found 600000 euros in cash. i'm for golf in berlin. this is the day ah, the news of betty worrisome. ready that he will resemble it is the question of

confidence of people into our institutions. obviously it's you critically damaging to the european union if we can find out. if men of your can comment on the politicians can be bold to say certain things. yeah. oh, this is about the credibility of europe. so it has to take a consequences in various areas, thinking, flynn ah, what you are viewers watching on tv, us in the united states, into all of you around the world. welcome that we begin the day with possibly the biggest broad re scandal to rock the european parliament in recent memory. and there is a direct connection to the world cup in guitar. allegations have surface that the gulf kingdom, which is hosting the world cup that it has been bribing members of the european parliament to buy friends and influence for people have been charged with money laundering corruption and participating in a criminal organization. now, could,

are, is in the spy white right now, as it prepares to host the final of footballs, world cup this coming weekend. the tournament was supposed to be. it's time to shine a chance to show that the kingdom is in a positive way, doing what one of hosting, one of the world's largest sporting events instead, guitar has found itself under scrutiny for its stance on gay rights and for its treatment of migrant workers. that brings us to the lady you see behind me, eva kyla, she is a former t v news anchor turned european politician and now the suspended vice president of the european parliament. belgian investigators say that they found bags of cash in her home after her recent trip to could tar that you have stripped her of her powers. she's from greece. greek authorities have seized her assets and just weeks before all of this happens, kylie appeared before the european parliament and praised guitar as a force for progressive policies. i hello sad that katara is

a sounds either in labor rights about huizenga firelight reducing minimum wage. this by the challenges that even european companies are denying to enforce these laws. they committed to a vision by choice and they opened to the world. still some here are calling to discriminate them. they bully them and they accuse everyone that talks to them or engages off corruption. they are in your donation of intelligence, high educated people, they helped us to reduce that the pension with turkey. they how does, without getting stand to save activists, children, women, they helped us and they are peace negotiators. they are good neighbors and partners, good neighbors and partners with the european parliament. president roberto had sold it to day promised to get to the truth. no matter how ugly that might turn out to be for the european union. she was speaking to her fellow law makers today. and

she said that democracy in the european union is under attack and promised to route out anyone and everyone who was involved. i think it would be no exaggeration to say that these have been among the longest days of my career make no mistake, the european parliament their colleagues is under attack european democracy is under attack. and our way of open free democratic societies are under attack. there will be no sweeping under the carpets, will launch an internal investigation to look at all the facts related to the parliament. and to look at how our systems can become yet more water tight. we will shake this parliament and these towns and i need your help to do it. but i must also say that while we can always look to increase deterrents and

transparency, there will always be some, for whom a bag of cash is always worth the risk. and what is essential is that these people understand that they will get caught. i want to go down or correspond barbara, these or she is in strasburg forest. good evening to you barbara. sir barbara, this is a moving story and it looks like the police investigations are getting wider by the hour. what more do we know? did i indeed things keep on happening while robert met sort of a speaking here in strasburg, at the belgian police did more searches at 10 offices within the european parliament in brussels. we're searched hotel rooms, apartments, and further offices. and what did they find more and more money in $1.00 of the hotel rooms connected to one of the suspects. a $150000.00,

plus in his suitcase in an office. another cool, one, 100000. so we're obviously heading towards a 1000000 in cash sloshing around in connection to this whole bribery and corruption scandal. and so the police hasn't said whether they are finished. this might yet evolve and, and sort of carry on 2 more people apart from the 4 that have been put into us detention. our suspects at this point in time. but we don't know whether this is all the circuit might yet be widening. yeah. and you know, the, the allegations here or that could, tory officials paid members of the european parliament basically for good p r. at a time when katara could use some good p r. is there any way that the european parliament jan prevent this type of bribery from happening moving forward they really do have to mean they need stronger oversight. there has been a gap in anti corruption measures within european continents. so far. what is

regulated is the lobbying may be even sort of bribery or by, by corporations, my businesses who have interest in late legislation that is, that is being made here in the european parliament. so derek to the chiefs are relatively strictly regulated. but 3rd countries that's a wide open door, there is simply nothing they could so far do whatever they wanted. so there are people here in parliament who say we have to look at other countries apart from katara. we know that as a by john and this was the last year, has been very busy on many fronts, politically, trying to bribe people to gain a better reputation at the same holds true, of course, for russia and maybe some others. so this story isn't over, the parliament will really be busy with looking at the details here from months coming. and the big problem is, it's not only the frustration and disappointment of parliamentarians have nothing to do with this. but the big point is, the soft power of the you are people in parliament rests was the moral high ground

. they can occupy in say we of fighting for european values. if they lose that, they really lose a big part of who they are and what they can do in europe. yeah, that's a very good point to make it abuse. barbara diesel to night in strossberg over. thank you. well barbara, later to dave spoke with the e. u lawmaker hun annoy mine from the green party. about these allegations surrounding the parliaments, suspended vice president. if a kindly miss sherman, you have experienced the work of f r kylie who is now really, he's a, she's and attention. she has really destroyed her political life. she's also destroyed credibility of the european parliament. what was like, how did you notice that things went right there while ever 1st of all was a very nice and friendly colleague. but from the beginning of the legislature, she took very pro katara positions and him some aspects. she wasn't really

balancing it. it also happened, for example, when we travel to saudi arabia about 2 years ago in every meeting, she was raising the issue of a katara princess that was hold in kind of cassidy insults inside saudi arabia. so i was a bit wondering what is behind there, but frankly said the degree of allegation start down the taper right now. i could not imagine this to happen and it doesn't seem to be over yet. i mean, the belgium authorities have searched further offices to day, if few $100000.00 euros more have been found in a hotel room in suitcases, just sloshing around a. do you fear that there could be a wider circuits involved here? well, i clearly feel as if i am in the middle of some crime scene. my wife's chair of my own delegation as just step back. the chair of the human rights committee just stepped back, a lot of assistance from the parliament, but as well as from, from

a members of parliament, have their offices sealed. so it really seems as if that is a bigger thing. it really looks like a sort of mafia seen. i mean, it is, is quite horrifying in, in a sense em. but do you think that this is really the socialist party, that is mostly of the s and d group that's mostly implicated here? or do you think it, it could have wider implications, but i know it was the best and most special moment of my life when i became a member of this european parliament being allowed to serve the european citizens. and i know so many of my colleagues, i would say 99 point, i don't know how many present feel the same. we are working hard to, we are not touching money and we are really fighting for the interest and the needs of the european people. these are very few people if they are in the end only from the social democratic group, or if we also realised that other people from other political groups will be implicated, has to be seen. okay, the way forward, what needs to be done now?

i mean, parliament can stop and sort of that do a lot of hand wringing, say, or horrible. this is, it is horrible. but then which would we go from now? well, 1st of all, it is clear that we need to investigate properly. hat, what happened? we need to cooperate fully with a bounce. no thought is, but we also have to check internally what happened, for example, we have to look at files that way in the past inning with katara and see who influenced it. and maybe we have to reopen it for sure. katara is of now is not going to get a visa waiver. and this for my perspective needs a falling quietly committee. we also need to look at the parliament's rules that we have, for example, with regards to travels, having external responses for travels and see which loopholes we close. but down the line, whatever kind he did was against you pin parliament roads. and again, spurgeon was already as of now ah, will european union is slipping new sanctions on iran over human rights abuses.

iran has executed a 2nd person connected to anti government. busy voters, human rights groups, a warning that protesters are now being sentenced to death in iran after sham trials. the news came early in the morning. maggie teresa ross, nevada, had been executed after a show trial maggie were rights group say he didn't even receive legal council. this low resolution security footage, what's considered enough evidence to convict him. the court claims chose the 23 year old attacking to members of a pro government militia. the young man shown here in a private video was charged at the end of november. he was hanged less than a month later active, his se that run of ards family had not been informed. would you go north of last week? another young man, most sane shikari became the 1st person to be executed for taking part in the nation wide protests. as a result,

thousands of iranians took to the street and cities across the country to once again demand an end to the islamic leadership. foreign ministers meeting in brussels sharply criticized the executions. germany's top diplomat on alina burbock said, europe is on the side of the innocent, and iran they haven't met. invite to once made these new sanctions. we took aim at those who are responsible for these executions and for def, violence against the innocent people on what that is. first and foremost, that evolutionary god, god. but it is also those who try to intimidate of our punish people and be bit manipulated videos. i'm so she's done order. if i to the stuff at least 9 other people have been sentenced to death, human rights organizations say they could be executed at any time. lovejoy now by daniella saperry and iranian german activist o'neill is good to have you with us

tonight. let's talk about what we are seeing in terms of justice here. the activists now take the case of margie dressed, a run of ards trial. why are we saying that his trial was a sham? because dare was not a real process. and he wasn't allowed to defend himself. he hasn't had any lawyer of his own choice. this roman republic is giving a list of the lawyers. they approved up and they are lawyers who in some cases even make the case worse for people. so, and was just and just for publicity just for scaring the protesters. and he nodded rosara. no, i didn't. all the other processor haven't had any chance from the beginning. did you say this is to scare the protesters? we've heard from germany's foreign minister describing this latest execution as

a blatant attempt at intimidation of iranians or what are you hearing from protesters in iran? are they now more scared than they were just a few days ago? a floors people are scared, but their courage and their low to survive is bigger than the fear. that's what we're hearing day they chant, if i translated really, they can like i'm for everyone. they are killing 1000 people, just stand up behind them. and that's actually what we're seeing after him was him . shikari was executed a few days ago at the spot where he wasn't a street. he was, he was, he was like having a garbage, been putting it on the street and blocking the street. and for dad he was executed and then people went to the exact same spot and made a protest there and started a fire there to protest. so people are not letting themselves and be frightened by the regime. they are taking the courage and every, every funeral is getting

a protest as we see. so no, i don't think that the regime is achieving what they want to frighten the protesters. they are just encouraging them to, to protest more. and these protests, they are now in their 13th week. they do have the attention of the entire world more and more. but these restrictions on the media and on the internet, they make it difficult for us to get an accurate picture of what is happening. it's hard for us to verify information. how are you getting your information through a lot of n g o student, great work like herana isn't human rights and g o, which is amazing day a have amazing for you on the, on what's happening in the prison. also the 1st one to no use end of the page, 101500 tests here. it's of, it's a page who was also very informed in germany, rainy and journalist for me are

a very good source because they verify all the information in general that iranian exam media is doing a great work right now. but also likes the personal context, which i don't have directly always through a 3rd person because of that because it's dangerous for people to, to have directly contact with me and also for other activists. it's hard to have their content for with their friends and family in iran because it's really dangerous for people. so there are ways to get informed, but yes, the censorship of the internet is a really big problem because that's why we see so less pictures and videos from iran because the internet a censored and people cannot send their vs to us yet. and we know that if anyone inside the ron trying to get the story out, we know what can happen to them. used to be spoke about this being dangerous. what about that to you? i talked to other iranians outside of the country in other stories, and they've always mentioned the fact of maybe the personal safety being put in

jeopardy when they dare to speak about descent. do you feel unsafe? sometimes? sometimes, yes. if people write me strange messages and, and actually telling me that they know where i live, it actually feels kind of weird. but i don't, i don't let myself be frightened for them because that's what they want. they want me to hold my mouth to be silent. but i don't let them silence me because it's important what we do because we are here in, in the democracy and democratic country. we have democratic rights and i don't lead my rights these reduced by the regime people at. but yes, like for me and active for many years now, i can't go back to iran. i kind of visit my family in iran. that's why many people it rang and people were afraid to go on the ministrations in the past years. but i see many, many ringing people in the desk for us saying that we iran,

are we going to, in a few years, if you don't go on the streets now, if you don't help, don't revolution in iran, tu, tu, tu yan, to end this time of the regime, so that's why a lot of people are putting their fear behind saying that no matter what we are going through streets here as well. of course, we are not slaughtered by or regime forces like in iran, we are police, you're actually protecting us. but that's, that's also we have problems with the spies from the regime people threatening us and so on. we certainly do appreciate you having the courage to talk with us and to get as much of the story out to the public as possible than yellow shabury joining us tonight, daniela. thank you. thank you. ah, the world war to reconnect all before your birth

enough to hear that captain pete lambert mitchell. let me be perfectly blunt. you are not my 1st choice. you are here at the request about marcus and ski, a k a r smith. he seems to think you have something left to offer to me as i can imagine. have you been row? have you been round for you? how would i go slow cried car. just stop being friends with a fellow. he's done with sure. but he's always been dog. time is the thing is the essential piece of interpretation. you cannot start with my son in law. however, unlike sometimes my 2nd which means time stop or

hey barbara, thank you. i, i have been looking forward to seeing you all day. wow. this is my dream. oh ah, a penny brady lu. i'm janine, i'd like you to meet my daughter. hi. i'm taylor. hug ginny and teaches the 2nd grade and the kids absolutely love her. okay, yeah, i had to laugh that. see there it was funny. there was, are some of the nominations for the 2023 golden globes in the talk about them. i'm joined now by entertainment. your list j. j. matthew said los angeles, k. j. good to see the years almost over to glare. we get the talk at least once more before the end of the year. what did you make of these pigs? were it, were they the right ones in your opinion? you know, i was just talking to a couple of the other, a hollywood foreign press association members that also voted offer these nominees

. and you know, it's interesting. we were saying, you know, there were so much a great material out there. but it seems that a lot of the voters went for more popular films like avatar top gun elvis, things like that were, were filmed in terms of being nominated so more popular films, which is interesting because, you know, so often hollywood get hit over the head for always saying that they're doing too many art house films, not enough films that people middle america around the world actually pay money to go see in the theater. so maybe you know, you got to write this article where the mirror did you get it right or, or you, are you just acknowledging a fact? and i've been reading about this recently that these hybrid attempts at high brow films these films are not, they just aren't generating a big audiences like they once were able to do. what do you say to them? that's true. but i say this though, you know, sometimes these smaller arc house films do get a little bump after winning

a bigger. there are people around the world and especially middle americans are never heard of that. maybe i'll give it a chance, a slight bump, but obviously it's not that the big than elvis, you know, with, with tom hanks or on the top gun with tom cruise. you can't beat that. those are international alias stars that are known all around the world. and, and have no need for introduction for their friends. and what about the, the snobs in this year? i mean, were there any that surprised you or that she would have said, you know, the probably should have been nominate? i don't think you'll be surprised, but i'll tell you this. emancipation just came out on apple tv plus that stars. ah, will smith we are know what will smith had a tough year after the the oscars this year. he gives a pronounce of phenomenal performance in his bill. ah, his bill nor heat were at all nominated this year for the golden globes. and i was

surprised to see the film till till was about the true story of an african american boy, a 14 year old boy who was linton and basically a tortured and murdered in the 1950s in mississippi years. a true story. the entire cast gives a phenomenal performance and we didn't see any, any awards any nominate nations for that as well. so oh, it was surprising and of course tom cruise didn't get nominated for top. that even though top gun is there as a best picture, nominees for on for so those are a couple of snaps. yeah. but those are a couple of good tips there for people who want to see a good movie. i always say listen to what k, j says, and you'll be happy. and we know there's been intense spotlight on the golden globes after a series of i would say, rather, damming of stories in the early time. so he will watch the hollywood foreign process asian been doing to, to change. and would you say it will be enough?

it's you a lot has changed. i join the organization in september 2021. here we are at the end of 2022. so a lot has happened. the show has not been on here since january 2021. so when it returns in january 2023, which is just another month away, it will be returning after a 2 year hiatus because nbc decided not to air the telecast. obviously all this came about after there was a boycott and a lot of issues. they didn't have enough diversity. they didn't have any oh um. and they had a couple of scandals. so they have brought a lot of people on made a lot of changes. and i think you'll see the difference in that. i mean, i think it remains to be seen whether hollywood will embrace, you know, our, our organization, hollywood for it, even though we made our changes, but we'll just have to see what we will definitely be watching. kj matthews in los angeles is always kj. good talking with you. thank you. ah,
