us democratic house committees issue subpoenas to secretary of state mike pompei it was seeking to compel him to hand over documents concerning the trump administration's contacts with the ukrainian government. is that failing to admit the loss of its dominance in world affairs that is the message russia's foreign minister had for delegates in his address to the un in new york. and rights campaigners accuse the u.k. government of failing in its commitment to protect young girls from female genital mutilation after britain's high court accepted it was powerless to prevent the deportation of a 10 year old at risk of being forced to undergo the procedure. from

our studios in moscow this is our team thomas certainly glad to have you with us and the 3 democratic led house committees have subpoenaed the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o seeking to compel him to hand over documents concerning contact with the ukrainian government that is as democratic party leaders claim that the us president has betrayed his country and is no longer fit for office. this occupant occupant of the oval office poses a clear and present danger to our future to our democracy he's in date. by putting his personal and political interests ahead of the interests of the american people place that i hoped we would never be and never thought we would see a president take the actions that he has it's not about politics it's not about partisanship it's about patriotism on tuesday democrats in the house of

representatives launched a formal impeachment inquiry into donald trump and this came after a whistleblower claimed wrongdoing during a phone call between the president and his ukrainian counterpart vladimir selenski it is the latest in a slew of impeachment threats trump has faced since he took office in january 2017 but the walls feel like they're closing in on the truth in this race right now and i'm not sure they can hold them off for much longer the walls are closing in and everyone is freaking out the walls are closing the wheels are coming off. the walls are closing in on president trump the walls are closing it will show up on the walls are closing in on the trump white house. all of the walls are closing in at this point the walls are closing in fast and donald trump back then democrats onslaught seemed mostly dominated by the russian collusion probe our correspondent takes a closer look at the effort against the president. if you're

a democrat the hardcore liberal type you knew in your heart the trump would be brought down the only question was how long it would take just needed a reason and come on there were plenty no people put their money on the trump russia collusion story treason collusion between the trump team and the russians and trump knew about it that would truly be impeachable it's miss prison of treason and so far his response has been exploding and unfortunately proved entirely fabricated but to hell with it obstruction of justice federal seen in the united states that ought to do it to president trump trying to block the f.b.i.'s rush investigation commit an impeachable offense are we getting closer and closer to the possibility of yet another impeachment process no dodges that to come on

let's go in on the guy slept with the porn star media told us and paid a hush money to keep it silent no way he'd survive that bicycle you see the trump team stepping into every trap that she and her lawyer set for them having a president knowledge that he was actually meant to be a party to the nondisclosure agreement and now of course she's got a an avenue and a way to fire back at it cohen what is going on and many get out of jail free cards does trump have you can keep this up surely every excuse to get rid of trump was brought up the sky just dissected in this guarded nothing would stake until now it seems like ukraine is the 1st nail in trumps political coffin blood hounds democrats smell blood weakness at long last.

trump is vulnerable i think focusing on the c. crean scandal singularly is important i think we have to act quickly but not with haste of the more able to speak with one voice on that subject than on some of the other we've got to go narrow no question about it i would hope within a 6 week frame we could get the evidence on the table so the american people can see it just one phone conversation and trump signed his political death warrant and if you thought it was about russia you thought wrong even a russia was discussed in that very call i would like to find out what happened with this whole situation with the ukraine they say crowd strike i guess you have one of your wealthy people the server they say ukraine has it that sounds crazy democrat servers hacked by the russians allegedly somehow ending up in ukraine but these things are so secure crowd strike the d.n.c.

as computer security squad warden let the f.b.i. look at them would threaten their security if the f.b.i. investigated they claimed all that the agents received were redacted draft reports all the information about russian hacking was pushed amongst others by crowd strike and the f.b.i. putting him politely said this isn't how things easily done it's not the way we would prefer to do the investigation 2 years have passed than trump still hasn't been able to find those servers from may or may not have reason to think that the servers are in ukraine and is trumbo after all whatever they know in washington it's clear that the democrats won't let go of this whole ukraine business if finally got solid ground for their long awaited impeachment

oh and russia. get it when kids anymore the democrats are desperate. they're terrified of losing the election joe biden is a disaster as a candidate if if he is the nominee he will i'm almost certain he will lose to trump and the democrats are hoping to bring trump down through this whole impeachment process this idea of. finding a scandal and running around hysterically where there really is no criminal offense so they're hoping to bring trump down but i just can't imagine it will work meanwhile u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi suggested that and of moscow lay behind the trumpet ukraine phone call scandal russia's foreign minister lambasted that notion. as with the russian interference and by the way i think russia has a hand in this. new sanctions every day and almost every hour.

of new mortal sins against russia since nancy pelosi today said that russia is behind the incident surrounding the phone call of trump and selenski this is an example of a clear paranoia. earlier on friday russia's foreign minister took the podium at the un general assembly sergey lavrov spoke out at the undermining of international law by a country's pushing their vision of the world on others outside the u.n. in new york here's up during the general debate the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov used his remarks to essentially to lay out the russian view of the world and argues that russia is trying to deescalate conflicts around the world that dialogue is necessary in his speech criticize the united states for basically ignoring the interests of other countries and replacing the rule based international order with new rules that were convenient for them in the moment you do she's up with the moment with the leading western countries are trying to impede the development of

a multi-polar world in order to regain their privileged position to impose standards of conduct on others that are based on the narrow western interpretation of liberalism in a nutshell we are liberals and everything is permitted in pursuit of this policy the west has been increasingly loath to recognize international law and more often and more insistently dwells on a rules based order in the press conference that followed his remarks before the general assembly he seemed to hit on similar themes he talked about many instances around the world where it seemed like the united states was not helping to stabilize international tensions i pointed to the situation with iran where the united states unilaterally pulled out of the j c.p.o. way. the problem started when the us unilaterally withdrew from. he told everyone else to stop abiding by 2 promising sanctions over trade with iran which i believe these actions were destructive not only for the situation around

iran's nuclear program but also for the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons and the whole situation in the region is a response to a question that was raised about the fact that members of the russian delegation for the u.n. general assembly had their visas pulled at the last minute so he asked the question who is responsible for making these decisions. i do not believe that either president or secretary mike pompeo had anything to do with that mr trump also stated that but assuming that's true then the question arises how are decisions being made in the u.s. especially those directly linked to washington's obligation to ensure the normal functioning of u.n. headquarters where the number of countries were touched on during the press conference many questions were asked about syria about venezuela about the situation in the middle east he emphasized that russia is working with these different arab states to try and resolve the tension and deescalate the situation in the gulf so it was quite an interesting interaction touching on many different situations but emphasizing that russia is committed to deescalation and dialogue

not stirring up an exacerbating international tensions or domestic conflicts within countries. a court in the u.k. says it is able to prevent the home office from deporting a 10 year old girl at risk of female genital mutilation after her sudanese mother's asylum application was rejected by sally has more. putting aside its enthusiasm for war and its cozy relationships with the tate says the british government style the self of the staunch defender of human rights around the world the latest crusade they've taken up is the fight against of g.m. in other countries they've pledged 50000000 pounds by 2030 to combat the issue. of the bible at least 3 days into any requirement it doesn't make. sense to will understand don't go but the british home office is pushing ahead with

deporting a woman and her 10 year old daughter to bahrain from where lawyers fear then be deported on to done but the mother is originally from the country has one of the highest rates of conducting f.g.s. in the world and the risks being another victim they are happy to prosecute female genital mutilation they're happy to give money abroad to stamp it out but they're failing to protect women who are at risk if deported a british family court earlier ruled that the coal face the risk of being concise against her will if censor board but it was the rule by the home office which said immigration issues the courts business perhaps the most high profile attempt by the u.k. to deport someone it was the case of. a radical cleric the u.k. accused of having ties to al qaida it took 12 years and 1700000 pounds to remove him and was a victory for the british government since his deployed station britain has spent almost 200000 pounds protecting his wealth in jordan and the question is whether

the mother and her little girl would also get that much protection from u.k. authorities if she ends up back in. we asked the u.k. home office for comment on the case and are awaiting its response a lawyer for the girl's mother told us the british government is not doing enough to protect young women at risk. her mother says that. her little girl is a high risk of a g.m. so her mother was cut and she suffered type 3 f g m which is the most physically severe type of f.p.m. that any woman or child can undergo and in fact the mother says her sisters also died whilst enjoying this most brutal practice so she certainly says it's a high risk of f. g.m. and we know from the social services who took this up to cation to court to stop this little girl from being deported that they also believe has a high risk of f g m and also the national center here an expert organization

working with families in this country who are at risk if she and also believe that this little girl is at risk so there's a wealth of expertise here that says she is at risk of f.g.s. but unfortunately the home secretary and also the immigration authorities say the immigration courts don't feel that the risk is this is high my real concern here is that we have a government that appears to be committed to prosecuting cases of f.c.s. and throwing the book at ethnic minority families when the sec chairman this country but when it comes to protecting girls the terrorist abroad and legitimately claim asylum the government's all too ready to refuse that claim because in my view if a so-called hostile immigration environment and they're not given the status that they so desperately need so i says real contradiction in the government's approach time and time again played out a new cases sadly. the global climate change is picking up steam with the number of planet protecting moves being set in motion for one the

daily newspaper is burning all advertisements of fossil fuel based products and services with immediate effect the paper's editor cited environmental concerns for his decision a week after the biggest mass of climate protest in history separately a 3rd of the world's banks have signed up to a un initiative on efforts to tackle climate change such as cutting back on investing in fossil fuel projects among the more major players. like deutsche bank citigroup and barclays in total $130.00 financial institutions in $49.00 countries have signaled that they are on board but notably 7 of the world's 10 biggest banks are missing from that list the un initiative calls on banks to harmonize their strategies with the press climate agreement and work towards a sustainable future from being seen as an overdue move to mobilize the influential finance sector to a fad that will cause more problems than it solves we put the discussion up for debate right here on arch international. what we really need to be looking out

looking at is eliminating the funding of fossil fuels as quickly as possible and the key thing here is not to focus too much on the banks they will do whatever they can within what is profitable and i mean legal key thing is to put pressure on governments to utterly change the rules in terms of what banks do to get rid of anything that is destroying the future for our children the green technologies that are presented as growing are not at all in many instances in the energy sector today say no to nuclear energy there is no reason to say no to say no because nuclear energy doesn't emit in the c o 2 and they say yes the electric car is an awful and see life cycle analysis if you look at their environmental footprint it is much worse than my diesel car today and it will be for the next 50 years so because of the production of the batteries so this is all rubbish this is perfect rubbish frankly and it is enough you know having 16 year old girls like the one we had

a system at the united nations explaining to adults that they are stupid i mean this is not fun you know she's supported by the person's family of billionaires that have invested in the green technologies i mean this is who writes her texts this is a disgrace really it's time to stop and the gulf numbs progress of course in the reduction of c o 2 emissions but they should do it normally at a normal pace and for bidding the use of coal of few or gas is stupid especially for example in germany because of their choice for supposedly renewable energy such as wind energy they need coal plants to to produce the energy when there is no went so crazy identified you know perhaps correctly perceived problem through some of what is being pushed forward is green at the moment as a reason for carrying on burning fossil fuels when we know it is who eddie a crime against humanity in the form of catastrophic drought flow. typhoon site

clones hurricanes you know and the strength of these things is absolutely vastly greater than before and you know so to try and identify some of the problems with what's been put forward by you know the mainstream green narrative as a reason to carry on destroying ourselves it's just madness that we need to do the right thing at the right time it's not people are extreme extreme activists that need to decide golf months cannot allow this and the united nations should not allow this the only reason that the solutions required to deal with these problems are now so extreme is that well we've had 13 years of people like luke saying oh well we need to wait till we know more until the technology is about or what has happened over that period is that we have produced more emissions in the last 30 years than the entirety of human history before so the very very tempting rationale which is that anything that looks greener than before is a step in the right direction we must go at the normal pace we cannot stop planes from flying from today on because that's what the extremists want to paraphrase go

up and go program with your leisure and i would say what he obviously cites ogress on this you watch march international that have with us more news on traffic. thanks guys by that'll survival. when customers go by you reduce the price. in elf well reducing our. that's undercutting but what's good for market it's not good for the global economy. that he threw out. to play just one game so did this somebody comes out of the gate and they don't know what to do with it you know did a business who used to temporize. it could gin you on to the next or better.

if trump is i would decide you're going to leave because the democrats are disposed towards the islamic republic so you know maybe you go back to the old. quietly give you could sit quietly you believe the impression that i must. go back this is our duty internationally now the united states announced on thursday that it is sending 200 military personnel and a patriot missile battery to saudi arabia to help defend its allies while production facilities it comes after attacks on 2 major installations in the gulf

state knocked out 5 percent of the world's oil supply in a couple of weeks back now saudi arabia already had a number of patriot missile systems in the area when the attack took place they were rendered useless as at least 17 drones and cruise missiles hit the oil producing of facilities the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o gave the following explanation as to why the batteries were not able to thwart the attack look anytime we've seen air defense systems all around the world have mixed success some of the finest in the world don't always pick things up all right security expert bridge told us that he doesn't believe additional patriot missiles will bolster saudi defenses against the sort of attacks we saw earlier in the month . and there's no mixed success really about this is almost no success if any ever has been recorded by patriot systems against low flying targets such as the drones and the cruise missiles that were being used in these incidents the petra system is

primarily designed to be flying to be used against high speed high altitude targets such as ballistic missiles it's more of a symbolic gesture than anything that's going to be practically at sea the defense capabilities of saudi arabia ironically perhaps much more. much more effective systems perhaps more low tech systems perhaps more old fashioned systems that could be used more effectively they're nowhere near as expensive as the patriot systems and perhaps cynic might suggest they're full using those as opposed to opposed to selling and deploying more patriots wouldn't be as much benefit to the u.s. arms industry. there's a high level anger in germany at the us which is being accused of trying to bulldoze a major russian gas pipeline project by repeatedly threatening sanctions the chairman of the german parliament's energy committee told r.t. at a conference in berlin that the penalties if imposed would violate international law

. thank you yes that's the 1st it seems to me these sanctions extraterritorial and therefore unacceptable under international law 2nd based on the conversations in which i took part i have the impression that the gas pipeline will be built it will simply become more expensive dust us sanctions will increase the price of the project for companies involved in the construction of the gas pipeline but the project will not fail the interest of americans in a sense is very simple they want to sell their own gas in europe to do this they need to weaken the economic ties between germany and europe and specifically between germany and russia that's the whole point or they've only partially succeeded as we know for many years russian gas was flow to europe especially germany without interruption so the construct of this gas pipeline is in the interests of germany and it will be built i think the behavior of the u.s. president is encouraging europeans to change their minds about america of course the u.s. is a major economic part of europe for germany partners do not behave as the americans

are behaving because germany and europe are not a colony of the united states. nord stream too is also currently suing the european union for imposing regulations which the project project's lawyers argue will jeopardize investment in the scheme. north stream to a.g. has now decided to ask the arbitral tribunals to determine that the european union is in breach of its international law commitments under the energy charter treaty and to make orders requiring d.-u. to discontinue its breach the e.u. is extending its jurisdiction to cover offshore pipelines beyond the blocks borders the gas directive is designed to open the market and encourage competition by revealing it details such as operating costs to says that will discourage billions of euro and of investment plan to launch the dispute in april claiming the e.u. is violating the energy charter treaty which regulates the industry's cross border co-operation including investment both sides failed to reach an agreement leading

the company to launch legal action on thursday. that almost 3 quarters of the pipeline has already been laid and is expected to come on line later this year when complete nord stream 2 will stretch for 1200 kilometers and will dramatically increase the amount of fuel supplied from russia to europe the use of gas directive would only apply to the section on german territory but has implications throughout the network journalist thomas fassbender told us that there is a geo political tug of war playing out over the supply of energy to europe. it is not it is a legal problem this is not a legal issue this is a political issue which is going to be decided by legal means which always creates an unfortunate sea situation because it makes it to play fees that should be should be left to parts we have a strong. interest by the us that this project must be and we must not forget that

even the law case the present location is just a step in a multi tie effort by the us government we have we still have the proposed sanctions against the companies participating in the building the construction of the pipeline on the table for by watching. that does it for me i will be back in let's say 34 minutes of another q news rochefort international standards. just like richard burroughs worst nightmare is like great hi i'm richard burr welcome to dead planet everything on planet earth is dead because been securitized and we've consumed it all well there's a teenager in the us or a brother heartbroken crying her eyes out because she's going to grow up on a dead planet because all been securitized and sold and resold and repack has

really bought the cantar the 1000 times 10000 times we're left with nothing except a dream of what it was what it was and it is no more. but if she warn you posted by you and i do wish that there was more of those g.'s new species she me we didn't you. come up on when you guys e.q.'s will be homo in the news i mean that is without infringing balls. clonic you will see sawing in as if i try to cut the both sides. doesn't need a list of initiated as if i try. the. cat 5 days doing so. for people who simply

new to my neighborhood in. trouble you're exactly right the comedy show we're americans in america covering american news called foreign agents. and yes we'll get to the impeachment stuff in a manic hit goddamn pants on our right i mean you can take them off or you want to . but 1st this past monday climate activists here in washington d.c. blocked intersections jamming traffic and pissing off a lot of people. see it was clear that when it comes to our impending extinction no one cares unless it means you have to sit in traffic for 10 extra minutes. there is

nothing that upsets us more than being stuck in traffic unable to get. to the jobs we hate. drives us nuts. but these are the type of protests that matter the ones that interrupt the flow of business not to the colorful large is where we all show up for 2 hours while the politicians go golfing ok i'm not saying don't do this i'm just saying our rulers don't care or that you did this it's like when you address of a baby you dress of your baby in a costume i'm not saying you have to stop but you're only doing it for yourself. thank you ok. thank you ok. but since i aim to please here's a point for those of you who don't give a about the climate crisis the corporations that are screwing your life pillaging

your land sucking your tax dollars drive through subsidies and meanwhile paying a warm can of farts in our those corporations are the same ones creating the climate crisis in fact just a 100 companies are responsible for 71 percent of global emissions when it gets even worse the report found that more than a half of global industrial emissions since 1988 more than half can be traced to just $25.00 corporate and state owned entities $25.00 corporations they're killing us there smothering us they're choking us and not in the good fun kind of drugs in the bedroom this is the bad guy where you don't end up with an orgasm at the end you get drought and hurricanes and you get your baby ends up in a tree somewhere ok but they're malleable baby don't care.
