whistleblower complaint about the controversial phone call between the us on ukrainian leaders being classified in the testimony below the all name source said minutes they were present at the time of the conversation however the democrats insist it's a smoking gun and solid proof of crime committed by donald trump. i was not a direct witness to most of the events described however i found my colleague's accounts of these events to be credible because in almost all cases most wolf issues recounted fact patterns that were consistent with one another in addition a variety of information consistent with these private accounts has been reported publicly and they're fulfilling my g.t. to report this information through proper legal channels to the role of an authority we were presented with the most graphic evidence yet. that the present united states has betrayed his oath of office. betrayed us all to defend our

national security and betrayed his oath to defend our constitution sacrificed our national security. and our constitution for his personal political benefit ok let's go through it the white house released this summary of a call in whedon's the the conversation which took place in july led the democrats to launch impeachment proceedings against donald trump in the phone call mr trump the president's alinsky to investigate the business dealings of potential 2020 presidential candidate joe biden and his solemn but there's no mention of threats to cut military aid alluded to by democrats. a blogger myriad's alinsky on the sidelines of the un general assembly confirmed that it. sure that we had. i think good phone call was normal we spoke about many. and the so i think you read it is that nobody bullshit me yes it was no

great you know there was no pressure or you have to do it is one of the goal but you know that's what you could ask the question and i appreciate the attention and i think that if you look at what he did it is over there where his son goes to china he walks away with a video of their dollars he goes to ukraine did you walk away with $50000.00 a month and a lot of money in addition to that and the whole thing with the prosecutors and he came this is like maybe he did it maybe he is usually they do it is. donald trump has been reiterating he still alleged corruption claims unfolding his potential election rival next year joe biden a ukrainian company investigated the u.s. president's accusations now extend beyond just one country that's our team's double of course the reports trump's doing something there's a naysaying liberal media following close behind despite president trump and rudy

giuliani's repeated allegations against the bidens no evidence of wrongdoing tied to his son hunter biden's ukraine business has actually been found the allegations against him which which have indeed been been proven baseless at least to this point these are proven players that the president is making about bud right well he's making up to the allegations against the vice president and i think that's really important to understand so does biden and his family have a squeaky clean track record let's look at the facts in 2014 biden was in charge of washington's policy stance for ukraine and for some reason his son was put on a ukrainian oil company's board of directors around that same time when a prosecutor launched an inquiry into that we're. coincidence biden had this to say and i went over. $1230.00 time to keven and i was supposed to announce that there was another $1000000000.00 loan guarantee and i got

a commitment from poroshenko and from yatsenyuk that they would take action against the state prosecutor and they did so that they walk out. and i'm not going to we're not going to give you $2000000000.00 shortly after the prosecutor was fired and the inquiry dropped biden said neither had to do with one another just another coincidence but let's go back to biden's 2013 trip to china for talks with president xi paying 10 days after that a subsidiary of the bank of china cut a deal with joe son hunter to form a $1000000000.00 joint investment fund another $1000000000.00 coincidence then there was 2011 when he oversaw u.s. troop withdrawal from iraq that same year joe's younger brother sealed a $1500000000.00 deal to build homes in you guessed it iraq there's plenty of money for everyone if this project goes through and that mountain of

benjamin's 2 was only a coincidence it seems when you're related to the former vice president things just tend to work out and joe scott no problem with it mr vice president your take on that was a conflict of interest there was a clear conflict of interest but you heard him people move along nothing to see here i'm not seeing now questions about will also be distracting us from what joe biden has done and others have been involved maybe there really is something there that's a question that's not coming through really the questions that are being asked in the hope i think for those who are we're going to drum this have this leads into really great. leaked information or juicy information not about joe biden but i. donald trump. people who are upset with his politics and this could be a way to move us away from where joe biden might be involved in a very. yet another of the stories we're following today

a court in paris has ruled that the founder of the french me too movement the fame the man she accused of making lewd and sexist remarks in 27 to your friends correspondent charge of and ski with. well sundram has been told to pay some $20000.00 euros in fines and damages after being found to have defamed to t.v. executives who she said had sexually harassed her now she is known as being the leader or the start of the meaty movement here in france which is called pole which means rat on your pig and back in 2017 she had tweeted about an incident for many years before in which she had said it the executive who she went on to name and shame had made inappropriate advances to her that the t.v. executive in question says as a result of this he was labeled as a sex offender he received a huge barash of criticism on social media and he was unhappy he said even more so

when she rejected his advances which he admits actually happened he then went on to apologize effectively i did make misplaced comments to sandra during a drunken cocktail party very late one night but only ones i later i told her was so heavy handedly and only once i must point out i don't want to exonerate myself from my boorishness so the time i read to read my apologies was sundram isn't happy with this verdict in the court and neither is her lawyer and both say that they will now look to appeal it by going. i didn't win the other woman won i lost here today but in any case we were all genders. started talking this decision doesn't take away from the fact that women's voices have been liberated that he must continue to speak out that he must continue to do now is reprehensible acts of any kind fear must not when fear must not change sides

well this isn't perhaps the 1st embarrassment for the b. 2 movement to think about the italian actress an activist asieh argento who is one of the 4 bearers of the me too movement across the globe and also new york professor vito ronald both who talked about being victims of sexually inappropriate behavior in the past but both women were later accused by a young man of making them the victims of sexually inappropriate behavior and many people have long questioned this idea of naming and shaming people who are being accused of being sexual offenders or sexual predators given that in a public space such as social media there is often little to no evidence to back up that those allegations those claims have got a real grain of truth to them and many people saying why didn't you take them to

the courts in the 1st place and some saying as a result of that their careers have also been growing their personal lives have also being ruined so some people questioning now whether this defamation case marks a real reversal in the fortunes of the me to movement not perhaps just here in france but across the globe with many other people perhaps looking at this case and wondering if the 2 now could bring their own defamation case. to another story with potentially big ramifications the u.k.'s national crime agency has found no proof of wrongdoing by the break to campaign group leave dot. all of its fundraisers or bugs it clears him of receiving donations for the campaign from a. foreign source namely russia with more on the story here's kate partridge. britain's national crime agency says it's dropping an investigation into aren't banks one of the biggest donors behind the brics it referendum campaign the

n.c.a.a. looked into potential offenses concerning $8000000.00 pounds worth of funding it was claimed banks wasn't the true source but the inquiry found banks illegally took out a loan from a company he opened and so he could give the money to the brits that campaign the n.c.a.a. investigation has concluded that mr banks was legally entitled in his capacity as an individual to release these funds to the better for the country limited by instructing another of his company's rock services ltd to make the transactions on his behalf but it's worth noting the n.c.a.a. felt the need to highlight the hype surrounding the case the investigation has been subject to press and social media commentary the n.c.a.a. has not received any evidence to suggest that mr banks and his companies received funding from any 3rd party to fund the loans or that he acted as an agent on behalf of a 3rd party why is this important because our in banks with the russian ambassador

to the u.k. a few times as well as russian businessmen as is often assumed by associating with russians you must be a russian agent something banks. the crimea you know what the police are going to investigate lunch with the russian ambassador butler university case but the media seemed eager to find a russian connection or exit is now being pinned on russian interference baron banks has been dogged by repeated accusations of close links with russia the parallels between the russian intervention and brags and the russian intervention in the trump campaign appear to be extraordinary so we travel to south africa to find one they also filled russian opposition figures with no knowledge of the case as they brought up his russian wife this the banks is a perp. good reason to visit russia whenever he wants his family he has 3 children by his russian wife in 2015 aaron banks tried to raise money in russia to invest in

his mines here in south africa and surprisingly they try to connect banks with donald trump and felt it was newsworthy to discuss banks some time visit to transcribe and publish pictures of it too controversial backers of the brakes movement were guests last year at donald trump's mar a lago club are in banks and the week more known as the bad boys of bricks visited the palm beach club in april according to a review by the palm beach post of instagram post tagged at the spot mainstream politicians also pushed him on the issue so much so banks walked out of a select committee meeting as m.p.'s questions on the exit and russia ran late because you're told this isn't just one. story it is that it was it is it is which is the n.c.a.a. found no evidence banks had committed any criminal offenses he says the allegations against him were part of a political witch hunt as with claims of trump russia collusion reports of banks in russia collusion were apparently founded and perpetuated on fear rather than proof

the decision to leave the european union was something so monumental that it impacted the elites in britain both in the politics in civil service and in business and media that they needed to find the enemies they needed to find a way of discrediting the whole campaign and so the 1st thing they did was start to attack the donors to the campaign to leave and of course mr aaron banks and the leave means to leave movement came into the firing line of their anger without a doubt this was a witch hunt it was a witch hunt against those who campaigned for bricks at like myself and the leaders of the movement it was a campaign to discredit those who donated it and they also. try to discredit it by saying that there was collusion from other nations such as russia that there was russian money behind mr r m banks and all of this was to discredit the movement discredit the referendum it

was a disgrace and should be something that's looked into by a royal commission in my view in the way that we look after our elections in the future. just approaching 16 minutes past the hour still ahead new documents reveal the f.b.i. has been harvesting personal data in vast amounts from institutions like banks and even universities just one of the stories of. here we are 2019 with negative interest rates and multi $100000000000.00 trillion dollar venture capital unicorns are all going to cost and the colossal fail out is being felt in every corner of the global economy and that's why our countries are

buying gold. what holds us and. we put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. more so more want to be pushed. into going to be press which is what the 43 in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in my. quest to. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

this is. hello again previously classified f.b.i.

documents obtained by the new york shed light on some of the bureau's covert activities there were multiple court orders have been used to collect personal data from a lot more companies institutions than previously thought. the demands can scoop up a variety of information including user names locations ip addresses and records of purchases they don't require a judge's approval and usually come with a gag order leaving them shrouded in secrecy fewer than 20 entities most of them tech companies have ever revealed that they for received the subpoenas known as national security letters yeah and we know that the new documents also show that the f.b.i. has interest spread far beyond just tech companies banks credit agencies mobile phone companies and even universities received hundreds of national security demands the letters have been the subject of controversy for decades issued since

the $980.00 s. the f.b.i. is required to show clear reasons for sending the orders now that has been granted however to include anything link to information on terrorism terrorism or a leak investigation the f.b.i. has yet to comment on this particular revelation previously said it's for the safety of citizens and they only investigate if there is suspicion of a threat and that's a whistle blower william binney believes the agency's actions are legal. national security letters are issued by individual federal agents of the f.b.i. and they simply couldn't say right away or say give you all the data on all your people and they've been after all data from the beginning to match local military executive order going to triple 3 which they're using as a base is also tickling book data across the bible or up it lived around the world inside the united states so it's a matter of there likely every big mess there that's what they're after all the

heat on everybody so they can monitor anyone for their criminal activity or use it against them to pressure them to do anything they want basically i call this not your life you control this what it is in terms of little you. leverage to get people to do what you want them to do when you have knowledge about people who live there to be easy to happen. a minute's silence being observed in the french national assembly following the death of former president jacques chirac the veteran politician died at the age of 86 early on thursday morning chirac served 2 terms of president prior to that he had served 2 terms as prime minister he survived an assassination attempt and became well known for his opposition to the 2003 iraq war but his later years were overshadowed by scandal including a corruption conviction linked to party funding.

all right let's get a check now and some more headlines from around the world french firefighters are tackling a huge blaze that's in gulf a chemical production plant in the northern city of ruin no reports of injuries as of yet residents have however been told to stay at home while schools nurseries of the globe's. island flushes erupted in the colombian capital where do you stay over corruption claims the level of a university director around to thaw students took to the streets of time with some throwing molotov cocktails of police director has denied allegations of running a corruption ring. that's had stories because the international space station has welcomed 3 new members this 'd thursday after a successful rocket launch yesterday. i saw in history ascribed to pierce left from kazakhstan baikonur launch station brought in american

a russian cosmonaut to for the 1st time ever an astronaut from the united arab emirates to join the crew on board the international space station and aren't they helping about it. and their all time in moments for a visit to the. gulf his sights set on cheap money this hour as they train for. the eyes the ears of see warn you probably than i do the dishes at the balls more

than those did. do you. see me. in the news i mean guys are that infants involved. a lot of you will see sawing during fuzzy farts about 2 kids each other both hard and most school. doesn't need a list of. 5 days of doing. an english lady and people who simply. the very pain years in the process started 10 years and i think it's time to shake things up maybe change the branding maybe the format here is what i've been

thinking about next season related episodes filmed on an island 10 experts fight it out for a trophy what do you think ok a more affordable option $25.00 text birds. and one red rose another suggestion geopolitical jeopardy parity no political cookout where we will literally wrote the elites. late night show it's a rare form of these days i'm going to cheat on him it is an old microphone in a printed banner but to leave me with one of my goals i can do this and laughter politics gone wild like music. ok crosstalk is not about hype it's about meaning 10 years of talk and still going strong. peter if you want to change something why don't we get rid of the bow tie no that

is too much. but. this is the kaiser report it's like yoga for your mind they say. that's right indeed you know what we've been covering for the last 10 years basically their response to the global financial crisis which was caused by of course a global crime wave from the bankers and what we did is we've lowered rates we've printed money printed money printed money printed money we're printing money is going on the fed is going to be printing tens of billions every day for the net up and talked over 10th so they've announced that. the other sort of thing that they did is they intervened in the property market in order to prop it up through all

sorts of schemes under obama. the likes of say blackstone a massive private equity firm was allowed to you know take over much of the property market here in the united sates also in germany and ireland in the united kingdom in 2013 if you'll recall they announced a program called help to buy you and i here in kaiser report we said that day we said well this is like a ponzi scheme essentially because those in it the property market already need to be paid out by new incoming people. people in the rest of the economy who did not own a property did not have the resources to enter this scheme this pyramid scheme of property so the taxpayer provided a huge portion close to 20 percent of the deposit for a certain sector of the population anyway we called it a ponzi scheme and except for george osborne's mother thought it was a great program of course she thought it was a good idea. this is from the financial times 6 years 6 and

a half years after we said this and this is how to buy has failed to make homes more affordable ok let's talk about this for a moment so the government injects a bunch of free money into the housing market and prices go up and as a result people find they are less affordable so the government puts in more free money to help people buy these on a form which as the effect of moving the price of the homes up again. so it's not that people can't afford houses that's not the problem the problem is that the central bank the bank of england and the banks in the u.k. keep injecting lots of. bailouts for home builders and the banks that support the mortgages and the homebuilders that's causing the prices to go up that's now it also has a corollary effect and that would be

a moral hazard because people who buy into these homes and they keep the price keeps going higher because the bank printing money they then use it as an automatic teller machine and they don't work anymore and we know we've lived in london for many years and there are many many people that live in london who don't actually have a job right they just wait for the government to keep boosting home prices and then they take it out of equity extraction as cash this is incredibly detrimental to the fabric and the character of the nation. because they're not working. and this is what lead to bricks in my view well that's my view as well that a cause breaks it across trumpet cause all of the populist uprisings happening around the world of course that the elites instead choose a conspiracy theory that some guy living 4000 miles away who doesn't even speak english that he's he's manipulating our population into thinking our programs are bad and of course you know that they're the central banks and to

a lesser extent government bodies and treasury department's for example have been picking winners and therefore losers because you're a loser now in the united kingdom if you haven't been able to come up with that 5 percent because it in order to participate in the 15 percent of your deposit from free money from taxpayers you have to be rich enough to come up with a 5 percent so if you're not rich enough if you can't save up that 5 percent and property prices keep going up faster and faster so you know the 7 to run faster and faster to accumulate the savings to put deposit down so you know cavil ism is about you know the market decides who's the winner and loser we have the zombie corporations we have this the zombie you know housing market we have this zombie unicorns that's in the headlines to this week we worked all their i.p.o. they've been getting all sorts of free money losing money hand over fist signing breaking all laws of basic banking like you know in terms of duration mismatch

they they have long term.
