that wasn't very helpful though trump did offer the u.k. a tariff free trade deal if it really did choose the e.u. but goodness me there's very little that special in this relationship aside from how fast it's losing its specialness and on top of that trump being trump just had to rub salt in the wound i'm going to a few hot spots we have nato that we have the u.k. and then we have putin and i said putin may be the easiest of the more you never know but i'm going to a pretty hard spot right now with a lot of rest a lot of resignations come on that's just nasty saying it's easier to talk to putin then to your allies but they you go how's that for friends it's like the phrase goes with friends like these who needs enemies i think he might be willing to

iron out some kind of trade deal which would be more beneficial to the u.s. than the u.k. he has the upper hand because effectively the u.k. is in a desperate situation after what's been a couple of years of post referendum where we haven't really done anything in terms of trade so he's definitely sees us as a disadvantage partner at the moment and i think he's going to press home advantage so there will be some kind of trade deal between you u.k. and u.s. announced but i doubt it will be on the best terms that reason i can possibly expect so early two or three years ago terms of everyone else in foreign policy of the us out of the hope in hell of changing anything even if she wanted to. check out the football now the scene is set for the world cup final huge is going to be on sunday when france me croatia but before all the all eyes on another crucial encounter to saturday sees the play off between belgium and include insipidus for third place in the tournament.

the game's also a challenge for belgium striker removal and his rival england captain harry k. as both are pursuing the world cup golden boot kane is leading the competition for now topping the scores charts with six goals to clear of luca who me tom football's biggest event the world cup final kicks off in moscow's luzhniki stadium sunday france will fight it out with croatia for their huge trophy the french squads preparing for the big game outside the russian capital meantime the croatia team manager has commented on the strength of the rival the finding both teams as the best use went over them and france knows very well how does attack and defend they conduct a very dangerous country they move very quickly across the pitch for this reason we have to play very carefully it will be a very challenging task to defend from their country and look at what we can also exert pressure on rivals who can recover well after was taken from us we're thinking about how we can crush france is the final in which the best two teams

will be. in the presence of michael on hand myself agree they will see each other in moscow on sunday still i'll be cheering for the teen now you may have seen the mascot for world cup twenty eight teen. wolf like character has been uniting fans around the globe pierce in the next report coming up saving a spot prince harry or izzy. the world cup is almost done and dusted and sadly it will soon be time to say good bye to this guy. caught. this one just for this month. well everyone misspelled oh look at that no doubt.

but who would have thought this charming furry creature or his name could poke the hornet's nest he says. the haka means the one who scores in russia a very suitable name for the fun charm and confidence but for some a simple explanation like that is just not. always fairly late to the party in terms of making the connection between. the russian players i have to deal with among other things violence and the recreational use of marijuana to be clear there was inspired by games that had been born. however as we all know billy gibbons moved the mascots or the time to the world cup so for. older generation for that city. he thought of another world then let's call it russia style the. town like. this to see a cartoon character. with alcohol and cigarettes was this really the way to go to

these kind of thing for make you happy. it was more language related problem was the word some people can't go with the proposition that case that would mean not to care more. it's not good but that was. his image was. showing a few instances of. russia that there's no point in talking about all these associations without hearing from foreign fans who've seen. first of all. one more try. thomas was. well i

think it's a hoax. it's a total yeah right ok but does time not cool right that's the start of us a name you have to work with. but that's interesting. ok you're probably not cut off while that's so good you have a russian background or something else that was very good. that's a too much bog so what is the bach and he described a lot of. the french because. that's interesting because one of the puppies said well i'll sell my son's name and call and. maybe a golf club that. yes i was. like i got a lot more time because. you think this god. leaves

kilos and positive and you see tells it like such. however you're really. going to talk about how. this world cup is so let's just give him some balls while he's still raw. thank you all well we're doing that let's spare a thought for a day there are two correspondents of of the hardest job in the world not traveling around the how cities of the world cup have a great summer the been testing their bowls skills to to various effect let's check out how they met the challenge. peter all of us been going the wrong doing to keep you up chatting with the football fans from different countries. me and holkins are on the are said that i could be some of those best efforts today

i'm going to try that and i'm going to challenge my fellow correspondents to see how good they are with the ball. thank you for the challenge she said so i'm going to try to at least get into double digits i'm not totally our sponsor. oh i put the pressure now could you drink. every few everybody because this. is.

the. it's. well we'll go twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of it but there was one more question by the way was going to be our

coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star and the huge amount of pressure you have to the center of the. great. game you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get down there let's go. alone i just i want to know and i'm really happy to join the team for the two thousand and thirteen world cup in russia meet this special one come on top of the she needs to just take the radio team's latest edition to make it up as we go. again coming to twenty one minutes past nine in the morning and moscow some friday news headlines for you the f.b.i. agent who was once part of the trump russian collusion probe has testified on

allegations of bias here in iran for more than nine hours in this american d.c. correspond reports next it was full of emotional outbursts and your testimony years bob did not kick you off because of the content of your text he kicked you all because of some appearance that he was worried about my testimony if you want to represent which he said accurately i'm happy to answer that question but i don't appreciate what was originally said being changed i don't give a damn what you appreciate agent structure not even a week into an investigation that you originated approved or the contact for and you're already promising to protect the country from that menace donald trump i will not answer that question you have not stated a little valid legal basis for not responding to a question directed. to you by a member of the united states house of representatives and you are overruled point of order mr chairman your let me let me continue your testimony is essential to

this hearing and i have a point of order before he answers the question the point of order is not well taken until you know what the point of order is you can say and i will take up point of order the witness will answer the question now your hands are already present i declared because you don't question that ruling out of order mr chairman let's turn to dr privilege and he has been archived not just to answer that i will suspend so peter struck who you just saw is an f.b.i. agent who was one of the agents leading the investigation into alleged russian collusion now he was accused of antitrust bias after some of his private talks with a colleague lisa page were leaked in one of those texts he even vowed to stop trunk from becoming president trump is not even going to become a president right right now no he won't will stop it. it is testimony that was described as a circus by one congresswoman pierce truck attempted to defend himself saying that

his personal views have never influences official f.b.i. decisions but check out what else he had to say not once in my twenty six years of defending our nation did my personal opinions impact any official action i took but the committee was pretty divided over his testimony while republicans were on the off chance democrats were playing defense objecting to all their questions now one loyal democrat even suggested that struck be rewarded for a service to the country on the other side struck desperately tried to keep the russian hysteria alive by characterizing the proceedings as a win for the usual suspect i have the utmost respect for congress has oversight role but i strongly believe today's hearing is just another victory notch in putin's belt and another milestone in our enemy's campaign to tear america apart the trim brush investigation has somehow survived for over a year now but no evidence has been produced till date but what it has produced is a whole lot of controversy alongside masters of phobia and internal polarization

and it seems to be getting worse and worse every single day so it looks like it won't be going away anytime soon seems so political analysts showing griffin a libertarian politician of in vogue it was their reactions to the hearing. the american people need to realize that it's not the russian government that's causing us problems it is the american government it's not russia that's locking up our citizens is not russia that is wasting our money on nonsense policies it is the american government and right now they're trying to distract us from letting us know who the actual enemy is an establishment ok which is afraid all right because it's been abusing power it's been breaking endless laws over the last thirty years republicans and democrats and this establishment is reacting to a new republican majority that's what you're seeing you're seeing at the establishment against non-establishment so it's sad when foreign foreign diplomacy

is impacted by a rod of domestic politics. and. next a damning video is led to the resignation of a police officer in the us he was filmed apparently refusing to defend a woman who was being harassed for wearing a shirt with the puerto rican flag on it the incident which took place last month has also led to another man being charged with hate crimes. but. because they can. get away or to cave in a mirror we used to know you were not even knight. then yes i am this is what i'm hearing you guys you're really this is where you want to. play for me we're going. officer officer i feel highly uncomfortable are you going

to grab them or you know no other police officer officer did absolutely nothing he did absolutely zero. you know in no time was he going to be just big. before some other story it was not a snow always a comment section stories and i'm a dot com i'm kevin though we do have more on our up as well straight to mobile device twenty four seven wall stories your fingertips come up to twenty seven minutes past nine out of watching our programs continue after the break and have

a great friday. it's hard to imagine after the war. was still active. in the nineteen seventies coronato had as the cheer of its. a man convicted of mass murder and slavery at auschwitz a german company in untold developed from there to mind a drug that was promoted as completely safe even during pregnancy. it turned out to have terrible side effects what has happened to my baby if anything paul. she said east just got shot on many solidified victims i have to this day received no compensation and never apologized for the suffering that not only want the money i

want the revenge. famed constitutional expert alan dershowitz for sends his case against impeaching president donald trump on this edition. of the politicking on larry king he's written for one of the most prominent and consistent defenders of civil liberties in america he's often the go to expert on constitutional law and individual rights and lately he's come under heavy partisan fire for his well publicized arguments against the call by many to attempt that impeachment of president trump he's laid out his opinion in his latest book we show it here entitled the case against impeaching the president. professor dershowitz is a hollywood law is a harvard law professor emeritus and he now joins me via skype we can say hollywood

because he's so well known he's been played in movies television if. you want to be able attorneys for o.j. simpson my friend and thomas von bulow though is a strong support all these opinions never had problems you were known as a constitutional expert you've written a hundred books now you come out in the past with defending the president and the issues and a lot of people on the left hate you what did you do what is what is your argument well what i did wrong was i didn't help get hillary clinton elected president or not i voted for i contributed or again for ten thousand dollars i went over a fence i campaigned for her if she had wanted she was being teached i would have written the same book the case against impeaching hillary clinton fact my publisher came up with a mock cover the same book called the case against each of hillary clinton if i had made the very same arguments in favor of hillary clinton everybody would love me

all the liberals would adore me i would be the most popular guy in the world but because i'm consistent and i make the same arguments that matter who the president is no matter who they're trying to teach people on the hard left hate me that i think i'm playing with the evil are you saying no president can be impeached you know it's very hard to be president for president commits a crime while in office like like richard nixon surely he would have been impeached he paid hush money he told his record is a lie the f.b.i. destroyed evidence he could it crimes while in office and donald trump if there's evidence that he committed crimes of course would be said to impeachment my argument is you need to commit a crime to be impeached is not good enough to say he's a bad president we don't like this policies or he's done terrible things you have to find a specific on the constitution says it has to be the bribery. treason or other high crimes and missed in the soul when i haven't seen it bill clinton was wrongly

impeached i think it was he did according to the allegations commit a crime it wasn't a high crime you know it was covering up for a sordid affair that's not what hamilton and madison basically wrote the impeachment provisions of the constitution had in mind they had minor crimes that affect the national security crimes like richard nixon's crimes covering up a burglary to help them get elected that kind of thing those are the kinds of crimes we had in mind or real obstruction of justice and if there is evidence that the president committed any of those crimes he would be said to her i think that the buckle of it what is below could your book be a little premature what in for robert muller. indicts well then. i argue in my book and i think most of the framers good agree with that and i think most constitutional scholars agree with that and judge kavanagh agrees that they

should be able to indict a sitting president but if he does get indicted and he sends that over to the house and there is a plausible case for a crime then impeachment proceedings will go forward. when i don't like is that they're charging him with things like collusion with russia it would be a terrible thing if russia but it's not a crime we're losing peers in the criminal statute books only in relation to business people colluding with each other to violate the and i trust less is not a crime for a political candidate to collude with russia look there are crimes that could be committed violations of the election laws but let's see the evidence the main thrust of my book is that you need to have a crime most scholars this is really that so i'm out there pretty much by myself making your friend you know that i went back in history and that's the conclusion i gave you agree with kavanagh and that a president cannot be indicted i do i think the justice department agrees with that as well you can be indicted after he leaves office the constitution specifically

provides that only once a president has been impeached and left office he can be charged like any other citizen by the way the same rules apply to senators congressmen judges prosecutors they all have a form of immunity for conduct that they perform well in office the president to if he fires somebody which is the title to do or if he pardoned somebody which is entitle to do that can't be the act element of a crime for example president george h.w. bush pardoned caspar weinberger and five other people on the eve of their trial for a corrupt purpose in order to make sure that they didn't come back and testify against him but nobody suggested that would constitute either a crime or impeachable offense alan you know though you are smart and i we go back a long way or an old friend yeah you know. and you know i read that you dined with dirt with the president you appear on fox news regularly that alan

dershowitz would become a hero of the far right is an anathema yeah yeah i mean first i'm not here of the far right i am a hero of some people on the right and i'm a devil to some people on the left look i dined with president obama dined president clinton i don't think any american should turn down an invitation to dine with president he wanted to talk about the middle east i'm deeply involved in the middle east peace process as you know i'm a close friend of benjamin not that you know i know president abbas and i've been asked for my advice i was asked my advice by president obama president clinton president carter president bush and i'm always going to give advice and i'm always going to accept an invitation to have dinner with the way that i thought i was sorbate with people in the white house i'm not arest about that as far as fox is concerned i've been on c.n.n. much more than fox and this in b.c. but i'm not going to keep myself off fox one reason i turned down the out unity to

be a special can correspondent for any one channel is i want to be on all counts i want to be able to all americans i think of myself as a teacher and my audience today is no longer harvard law school students is people who want to learn about constitutional law and i want to be on every trial what does it feel like to have people come over to union russia or some opposition here and publicly argue with you what is that like for alan dershowitz i couldn't care less but what i do clearly out of my grandson argues with me and he's smarter than i am and he comes up with brilliant brilliant arguments but we have a loving conversations all of my relatives are against what i'm doing that is what hurts me more than people quote restraint take into account why they're against you sure because they think i'm helping a man who they think is a bad president and they're you think of him as. the president i'm opposed to almost all of his policies i oppose immigration policies are opposed separation of families i opposed his tax policies are poses health policies i pose as gun

policies i oppose his supreme court process of nomination i'm even opposed to the recent policy of the united states discouraging mothers from feeding their children with breast milk you can this very hard to find anything i agree with except moving the embassy from tel of its interest i might read with that and i'm always going to agree with some presidential actions and disagree with that as i greet with most of president obama's actions but i disagreed with him when he didn't veto the un resolution declaring jerusalem to be illegally occupying territory or do you think a brett kavanaugh. well i don't know him i you know shaking hands with him in the harvard factually lounge but i don't know him but people i know generally think he's a gentleman and brilliant a great scholar i will disagree with probably ninety percent of his opinions a certainty qualified by his background i'm going to wait to hear how he answers questions before i make a final decision but i certainly wouldn't join those who say i'm going to order

magically vote against i'm not going to do with the republicans that the republicans stole the nomination from barack obama not allowing garlands case to even be considered that i think was a violation of the constitution but i don't think two wrongs make a right so i think this nomination should be considered on its merits. should it happen after the midterm elections that would be better the american public would have an ability to speak but the democrats don't really have the ability to slow down and stop with the way the republicans did you know where democracy and good democracy winners of the past election get to establish a lot of the rules subject of course to the constitution what do you think of michael cohen hiring all friend lanny davis as his lawyer and this imbroglio him or is the smartest thing ever did. hiring lanny is a brilliant move lanny is both great in court where out of court where tactician

strategist media consultant he does it all and it's a brilliant brilliant move and he's a very very lucky man that lanny took his case ok we you confirm cavanaugh right today. you know why wouldn't confirm anybody today i mean if louis brandeis came forward what will they be but i would wait to hear how they answer questions that we you know if you want to fire i want to read much more of what he wrote i've read some of his vengeance and i've read some of his lord view material but don't want to read more on why i believe in studying why can't they ask him his opinion on roe v wade i ask that because it is law so if something is law i can ask his opinion on miranda i can ask his opinion on their heads again and why can't they ask him about roe v wade i don't think they have any problem with that i just as quickly in my class the first year or two that he was up on the supreme court of

the united states i asked him about all of this and he gave me he gave the last two hundred people his opinions on a lot of these issues he wouldn't give an opinion of course on how he would decide a pending case a case that where the court but how you would have voted on dred scott that's a pretty easy thing ok but cavanagh has said that roe versus wade said a precedent when he was appearing to be a proof of a certain right he said it and he had he he believes in precedent. do you believe he'll vote to keep throwing away i do i think he may chip away at it he's not going to vote to overrule the rules of precedent are different by the way in the supreme court and in the court of appeals the court of appeals are bound absolute bound by the president and if you violate press at the sprinkle overrule you but the supreme court has nobody to overrule them i think it was justice jackson who said we're not infallible because we are always right we're only weighs

right because we're the last word and therefore nobody could ever reverse us but that doesn't mean they're right the law is what the supreme court says it is well that's what people have said over the years but the supreme court has changed its mind the supreme court validated slavery this very good validated segregation supreme court permitted the confinement of one hundred ten thousand japanese most of the american citizens in detention. centers sterilization of people they thought were mentally unfit some of the worst decisions of the world the conference from what many of them by liberal judges that japanese detention douglas lack the sterilization cases holmes brandeis also ordered that so you know we don't know what the issues are going to be thirty years from now when kavanagh is reaching perhaps it's retirement age so you don't anticipate how a justice will books you don't know what the issues are all this court did say that the.
