world news and analysis. this -- i am mark owen. the headlines. from -- trump falsely charged -- at stake, the future of new properties. $250 million fine. oak main and a package from the eu, zelenskyy says ukraine's victory depends on cooperation with europe.

he was speaking at a meeting in kyiv. a vital meeting. today, 586 -- on day 586 of the russian invasion. discussing to skinny the nobel prize for enabling the creation of mrna vaccines against covid 19. technology has also been studied to fight cancer and other diseases. this is live from paris. mark: thank you for being with us. the complaint this month with new york state lawyers trying to

hold him accountable while he denounced the case as a scam. the case accuses the business mogul and politician of deceiving banks, insurers, and others by habitually misstating his wealth in financial statements -- basically playing about how rich he actually is. >> this is a scam. my financial statements are phenomenal. this is election interference, plain and simple. they are trying to damage me so i did not do as well as i am in the election. our country is going to hell. it is a disgrace. we have a corrupt attorney general in this state. mark: trump in typical form there. lawrence douglass joins us. he is a professor of law at atlas college.

tell us is there a case against donald trump here >>? >> there certainly seems to be. in a preliminary ruling, the judge overseeing the case last week determined that some of the substance of the attorney general's claims do not need to be proven at trial. trump had moved to dismiss some of these claims. in a preliminary ruling, the judge determined that the trump company had committed fraudinflr properties. mark: i understand his defense is that nobody got destroyed and the banks that loaned him money made money. but what do you think? lawrence: that is not the way the law works. the fact is if you violate the law and if for some reason, people are not harmed by your

violations, that does not mean that that is been ok. you cannot play fast and loose with that. there is a reason why we have these laws in place controlling business transactions. it seems like the allegations are that there was fraud, basically an exaggeration of the wall -- of the wealth for the purposes of securing bank loans and insurance at more favorable rates. mark: is there an issue here of trump thinking there is a different set of roles for him? is that the crux of the matter? lawrence: if you look at his entire business career and his career as a politician, he plays fast and loose with rules. anytime anyone tries to hold him

to account, he accuses them of engaging in a partisan score settling or, using his favorite attack, the winch had -- a witchhunt or a scam. he is already described the judge as road -- rogue and deranged. he has already attacked the attorney general of new york state as being a rogue prosecutor. that is his modus operandi, the way he deals with any type of legal problems. mark: denial. we heard that in the excerpt from trump speaking earlier. some might see what trump is doing as a perversion of the american dream. i wonder, though, will his base care at all about this? will the republican party care?

they seem too far gone at this stage. lawrence: it seems to underscore real problems in our politics, particularly within the republican party. one would have thought that this blizzard of legal problems that trump is can renting who we -- confronting would discredit him politically. one would think that any other generation, with any other politician, these allegations would be fatal. but trump, part of his unfortunate political genius, is the ability to turn allegations to his favorite, basically to use all allegations of wrongdoing against him as evidence that these are people trying to settle political scores with them. he uses them as an effective

fundraising tool. he has been able to parlay the indictment against him. this is a civil, not criminal case. but he is able to parlay them into a physically rewarding fundraising technique. mark: lawrence douglas, the man behind the podcast is case against trump, thank you for joining us. pleasure to have your take on the situation. we will watch developments closely. if you're lucky, he will be back at a later date to give us more insight on what is taking place. let's move on to ukraine. in kyiv, foreign ministers gathered amid the threat of missile attack to talk about ukraine. the 5 billion euro military aid package was announced.

zelenskyy said that ukraine's victory depends on the support of europe. catherine has this. >> a historic summit, eu foreign ministers gather in kyiv at their first meeting outside eu borders. policy chief joseph burrell pledged a new aid package, throwing his support behind ukraine's application for membership. >> i propose a new bilateral -- of up to 5 billion for the next year, the strongest package that we can give to ukraine is european union membership. >> polansky said the length of the war will depend entirely on support received from allies. >> victory director depends on our cooperation.

the stronger and more visible steps we take together, the sooner this war will end. >> they called on the eu to back his initiative for a regular black sea maritime corridor and resolutions over brain deliveries. -- brain deliveries. >> we -- once we hear into the security of this corridor, it will be able to work at full capacity. >> western military assistance has been vital for ukraine, but cracks are beginning to show on both sides of the atlantic, as political tensions rise over this aid, playing down the significance of a stopgap funding bill passed by the u.s. congress emitting -- omitting aid to ukraine. he said it was too soon to call the impact of the election in slovakia.

he campaigned on a bid to stop sending arms to ukraine. mark: inside the eu, there appears to be growing skepticism about bankrolling war efforts. at least that is the message from slovakia, where pro-russian parties gained traction in the election. though there is a subplot to all of this -- slovakia is accusing russia of interference in the vote. armenia says one serviceman was killed when azerbaijani forces opened fire in the border region, underscoring the volatility of the area. azerbaijani shells hit an armed personnel character. meanwhile, with over 100,000 armenians having flat, this

monday was slowing down. we are on the border of armenia and nagorno-karabahk. >> all of those i have spoken to who fled the said they did not see a way that they could coexist with azerbaijanis, that they did not believe reassurances given by azerbaijani authorities that they would be able to carry on living there. they feared for their lives and told us there had been so much hostility and hatred building up for decades that they did not think that was a realistic opposition. they also said they did not want to have to become citizens of azerbaijani if they stayed or went back to the enclaves. that question now is being raised by azerbaijani authorities. they have had meetings with

members of the armenian community. azerbaijani trying to say minority rates would be respected and there could be tax breaks for economic acceptance -- incentives for them to go back. people i have spoken to do not believe a word of it. perhaps serving as a wall for the international to play here. the exodus has happened, but negotiations going forward, france, the united states, who have been allies of armenia, could perhaps look at trying to get some reassurances for those armenians, perhaps some international body on the ground, but apart from that brief u.n. visit to the enclaves, there have been no long-term plans for any such international force there. mark: she is on the border of armenia and nagorno-karabahk.

120,000 ethnic armenians were there before azerbaijan attacked two weeks ago. now just between 50 and 150 left. the best majority, over 100,000, have left of the enclaves. next, two scientists won the nobel prize for discoveries that enabled the discovery of mrna vaccines that were critical in sowing the pandemic. they have also been studied to fight cancer. >> the development of covid vaccines was extremely quick, but it would not have been possible without decades of research from these two scientists? kariko and weissman. >> kariko and weissman made

fundamental discoveries in mrna, which eliminated a major obstacle to mrna-based applications. these vaccines have saved millions of lives. >> roughly two decades earlier, scientists working on mrna faced obstacles. they wanted to create vaccines more efficiently. instead of transmitting a whole virus, they wanted to use mrna, a template for protein production. this was supposed to lead to a more effective immune response. but using synthetic mrna, lab animals suffered an inflammatory response. kariko and weissman altered the mrna, making the vaccine possible. when waking up to the news, the gary and born scientist

remembered her years of struggle. >> 10 years ago, i was terminated. i do not spend time feeling sorry for you, saying why me? all your energy, you have to spend seeking out what is next. >> and his now pushing mrna technology to find new text -- new vaccines to slow the progression of many diseases, including cancer. we while, there is hope that they know about will convince people who still hesitate to get vaccinated. mark: the band u2 has launched a special residency show in las vegas that could be a game changer for live performances. the sphere is described they live audio concert landscape

better than the real thing. it has 260 million video pixels. you two performing in front of a star-studded audience threat but it uses 20,000 homes worth of electricity. ♪ even better than the real thing ♪ ♪ mark: more on that to come. 10 for businessweek. starting with the antitrust trial with google in the u.s., you are joining us with the latest. >> the chief executive of microsoft testified in a

district court in washington, d.c. this is the first major antitrust case brought by the u.s. government in decades. it centers on deals google struck with apple and other developers to make it the default set engine. the company argues it is easy to change the preferred search engine. but some say google's unfair tactics led to its dominance as a search engine, describing how it is next to impossible for rivals to fight against it. >> we are one of the alternatives, but we are not the default. you get up in the morning, our sureties, and search on google. >> staying in the u.s., the trial of sam the bankman-fried is set to open in new york on tuesday.

he will seek to convince a jury that he was a victim, not the mastermind of one of the biggest financial scandals in recent years. lauren has more. >> sam bankman-fried was only 31 when he founded ftx in 2019. business grew rapidly, attracting investment from silicon valley. within a year, ftx had become the second-largest largest crypto brokerage in the world. it's he, -- at his peak, bankman-fried was worth an estimated $32 million and it dumped millions into campaign contributions. but his empire came tumbling down, revealing an array of fraudulent practices. prosecutors now accusing him of having used investors' money to

bankroll his hedge fund. he is also suspected of having deliberately misled the public in attempts to raise cash. >> -- when you get that much in bankruptcy, there may be some partial recovery, but we have a company that is lost the ends of dollars, essentially [inaudible] a loss [inaudible] -- >> several former executives and mammy -- many in bankman-fried's in a circle could now testify against him and of pled guilty to a number of charges. sam bankman-fried maintains his innocence. if found guilty, he could face decades behind bars. >> here in york, germany's top financial regulator is sending a supervisor to deutsche bank. the decision comes following

complaints from customers that they were locked out of their accounts and could not reach call centers. deutsche bank began its acquisition during the 2008 financial crisis and completed a final phase of integration in july of this year. this marks a setback. let's have a look at the markets now. u.s. stocks started the month on a mixed note. the dow jones end of the day in the red. the s&p turned positive in the final minutes of trading and ended almost flat. the nasdaq closed up .7%. finally, if you have ever dreamed of maneuvering your own mobile suit, it could be yours

to a ukrainian man in parliament and the president -- presence of volodymyr zelenskyy. turned out he fought on the side of the nazis. it is a huge embarrassment for canada. this has resulted in some misinformation, which you will illuminate for us. >> it was called nazi gate during zelenskyy's visit to canada when the canadian parliament did a standing ovation for the man, originally hailed as a ukrainian-canadian, a world war ii vet who actually served in a nazi military unit. the speaker of parliament announced his resignation on

september 26, as justin trudeau issued an apology for the invite of a nazi veteran. a colossal error no doubt exploited by the kremlin to spread anti-ukrainian propaganda. mark: so a fiasco that proved to be a big hit in russian propaganda circles. tell us more. >> pro-russian accounts started sharing this image online since september 27. this post on x has received over 385,000 views. we see this stamp, claiming that this is a new stamp that ukrainian authorities started circulating, the staff that reads heroes do not die.

here is the same post on facebook, where they claim the ukrainian postal service is now issuing the stamps with the face of this world war ii and nazi veteran. same information shared by the russian embassy in kenya and in the u.k., who deleted this post, but not before screenshots were made. mark: you cannot trust any of them. did ukraine release those stamps ? i think i know the answer, no. >> we went to the ukrainian postal service's website, where there is no trace of the stamp. we also searched, however, in ukraine and on their website, which yielded no results as well.

we analyzed the stamps we saw on the ukrainian postal service's website. all include this inscription that reads ukraine. following the russian invasion of ukraine, they have ukraine written in both cyrillic and aladdin alphabets. that is not the case with the stamps we saw online. if you look at these stamps, there is a sequence of numbers on the far left. this our code that if you enter it into a google search yields all the same results. we got the same results on ebay, amazon, even the ukrainian postal service website, which is where we got the same stamp, not the one we saw on the viral claims but this one where we see a ukrainian soldier, the mariupol theater, and this woman carrying a baby.

that was released in august 2022 for ukraine's independence day, which marked the six-month anniversary of the russian invasion of ukraine. what we see here is a fake stamp using the face of the next not tree -- of an ex-nazi veteran who received a standing ovation in canadian parliament. mark: it looked as false as anything, that stamp. you clearly showed what the problem is. as you point out, so many people retweet, view, share. but we need to debunk these things to show the truth. catalina, thank you for truth or fake. looking forward to that robot for christmas.
