lever the morning moscow time in the headlines a democratic congressman of the u.s. offer his own version of president trump's phone call with the leader of ukraine which proves to be far removed from the summary released by the white. house whereas the 1st occasion reveals that canada has been illegally transporting its plastic waste i'm a lazy if we get reaction from people at the mass climate change rally in montreal . if you sue if you wish if you wish to cure. dishes i'm sorry you feel i. can't help but. a series of blasts the small iraq afghanistan as the country goes to the polls in presidential elections after earlier threats by the taliban to disrupt the. victims of

oppression in. russia and around the world this is art international with me kevin now in thanks for your company this morning hope you stay around for maybe the next half hour to we're starting with this the latest in the donald trump in prim pitchford inquiry now a prominent critic of the us president democrat adam schiff is often explosive interpretation of trump's now infamous ukraine phone call amid the ongoing impeachment investigation president from struck back kucing shift making up his version of the conversation. want you to make up dirt on my political opponent understand lots of it on this and on that there's a lot of talk about biden's son and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do would be great.

i'm going to put you in touch with attorney general united states my attorney general bill barr he's got the whole weight. of the american law enforcement. behind him i'm also going to have attorney general and we will get to the bottom of it. and by the way don't call me again i'll call you when you've done what i asked whenever you would like to come to the white house feel free to call give us a date and we'll work that out and i look forward to seeing you. all on choose to the house of representatives launched the formal impeachment inquiry into trump over alleged attempts by the u.s. president to force his ukrainian counterpart to investigate hunted by the sum of joe biden his potential 2020 democratic rival legal meter on this law and told us to shift played fast and loose with facts when presenting concocted details of the phone call. it is extremely duplicitous it is extremely misleading and very

troublesome for the way adam schiff came about and basically provided a parody a unique way of looking at it and he was reading what people thought was actual transcript provisions actual statements made sentences a conversation and then later on when he says well i was being. a bit loose with this i was giving you one kind of a perhaps a a parody a kind of a satirical look well that satirical look is absolutely 1st of all side necessary but it was most problematic and the cause of many many people being very very angry with what he did it was on call for duplicitous misleading and wrong meanwhile volcker american special envoy to ukraine stepped down amid the phone calls scandal in the still the corruption allegations circulating about joe biden

and his son some of which have been dismissed as a conspiracy theory by the mainstream media and he's in a patrol connex looks at whether or not the being a bit too quick though to write the story off. so the reason why the president is after the man who's most likely to challenge him next year is nothing but a conspiracy so many voices are saying just that he implored the president to work with his personal attorney to manufacture a smear against a domestic political opponent we cannot have a debate about a conspiracy theory democrats have to keep this very clean let's dig into these unproven claims that trump is making about the former vice president but just how much does the public in america know about the case of a ukrainian energy company a few years ago the root of all this stir the public deserves to be aware and make up their own mind conspiracy or proper investigation material so joe biden's son hunter was on the board of directors at mr biden senior as vice president

was washington's point man with kiev at the time meanwhile this man victor sulkin the prosecutor general there was in charge of investigating barista ma and its founder for economic crimes he eventually lost his job well just have a look at how frank joe biden was about his involvement i said you're not getting a 1000000000 i'm going to leave in a year i think it was about 6 hours i looked as i'm reading the 6 hours of the prosecutors not fired you're not getting the money oh son of a. fighter jets guess what happened later after the new prosecutor came in his office eventually gave the company a free pass obviously though we cannot connect any dots here but just so you know the fired ukraine official no matter how corrupt he ended up being was confident about why he got kicked out here's a quote from his affidavit the truth is that i was forced out because i was leading a wide ranging corruption probe into the holdings of natural gas for active in

ukraine and joe biden son hunter biden anyway let me move on with a few more relevant findings by a journalist from the hill who studied a bunch of the. emails then ukrainian government memo. it turns out the folks from a us p.r. firm that represented breasts were really eager to get a meeting with the most senior prosecutors in kiev one a male claimed to have been sent by craning embassy diplomat to one of the people from the firm said this with regards to the missing some key i suggest that you wait until the next week when the reason the expected vote on the government's. it's been revealed that on the same day prosecutor shocking was shown the door the top guys of the p.r. team once again got in touch with kiev and only took them several days to get a meeting with the new acting prosecutor general his memo suggests the folks that help bristol raise the changes at the prosecutor's office the visiting side was

surprised by the info and sent the us state department has completely different information describing the failure of the reforms at the prosecutor's office but then they changed their mind and realized u.s. officials were misinformed they also promised to hook up ukraine's incoming law enforcement officials with ties to the state department and help organize a trip to the u.s. they informed me that they would seek to facilitate my visit to the u.s. to pass on the correct information to state department officials. after this man you are that sankoh officially took over from the acting prosecutor general step by step all proceedings against the firm where hunter biden had one of the top jobs began to vanish now back to mr biden seeing here and someone who used to meet him quite often as the head of ukraine according to the fired prosecutors testimony the president was pushing too on several occasions president poroshenko

asked me to consider the possibility of winding down the investigative actions in respect of this company but i refuse to close this investigation now where that would lead experts in conspiracy tagging or the us public as a whole i have no clue. another big story this weekend must run is developing action over climate change when held across canada with over 300000 much in montreal alone team climate activists credit to justin trudeau the canadian prime minister also joined by riley during a private meeting them between the pair probably she urged him to do more to save the environment meantime the undercover investigation has found that canadian companies have been sending plastic waste overseas instead of recycling it back home kind of the exported more than 10000 tons of it to malaysia and 28 to its claim that that's led to a drastic increase in the number of illegal processing factories. inside this

factory we see workers exposed to potentially toxic fumes without proper protection . whether this sad. waste of malaysia ways where those plastic weighs a lot of ways we will send it back and we will fight back. even though we are a small country we cannot be bullied by developed countries we asked people of the climate march in montreal whether or not they were aware of what was happening with canadian waste. you know what happened months ago you said no. sign of burning to receive the c.d.c. report a lot of this plastic containers being shipped to malaysia were in india was raided i just wanted to be responsible and how you feel. but you sure if you wish him to if you wish to cure. dishes in a sense i'm sorry to hear that you'll be. kept up with what you can see. it's terrible for civil if it's shocking to say. you

should do something about it we actually need you here i think something else we think. i think i'm a. little crazy i. should meet you there will be will be a good bit if you do blow things that we certainly want to do. it will blow this. shitty things here start to miss like we did here have said it over there was this said yes never saw this to the philippines experience similar problems simulator in the past years but their president had to put an end to the violations and send back tons of rubbish to canada physicist and environmental scientist dennis wrong called told the canadian politicians are only paying lip service to environmental concerns. true or not such

a hypocrite he would not be marching in montreal he would be making an announcement that they're going to ban this kind of moral and improper behavior in the world which is to export your talks that garbage most canadians do diligently recycle and they participate in the in that recycling programs on the. net their cities and governments are you know following how companies collect and store and recycle this material they can't imagine or the most canadians. wouldn't think that these companies are actually selling the materials off to distant lands to to the developing world countries it's mass hypocrisy is what we're seeing now among our canadian politicians they don't do the real things that they have the power to do instead they would prefer to do token gestures like walk in this march.

with a presidential election underway in afghanistan there's been several blasts in different parts of the country injuring at least 20 people and killing one there's no word so far who's behind the attacks but taliban militants promised to disrupt the vote it's the 4th election after the u.s. forces really remove the taliban from power in 2001 the 1st since donald trump halted peace talks with the group earlier this month while the $9000000.00 people are registered to vote in the election but the latest service just only 20 percent of afghan people believe it will be free and fair ahead of the vote i spoke to people in kabul about their expectations about security in the country. doing good security if you are physically. busy 3. years. trying to see voters and for these laws no one should be afraid of any of the should vote for president because it is their right to vote that's a cute little kid. it would be sufficient. the security

is good right now we are voting to have a democratic country our man should be peaceful and our people should be happy. the afghan government control slightly more than half the country the rest is either under the taliban or contested there are about 5000 polling stations open today down from more than 7000 initially planned hundreds of them are situated in dangerous areas a research analyst at the center for conflict and peace studies told us about the complexity of this particular election. the security is and high alert in we could see a lot of security measures and checkpoints along the way particularly inside kabul so i think it made it difficult for the taliban or any other groups to carry out attacks in inside kabul and the number of attacks that. we have seen so far i think people were expecting more but it appears that the there is a lot more security than expected which is making it difficult for for the taliban and other groups to carry to target the polling stations in the waters but

nonetheless. having said that despite all the security i think. the turnout appears to be extremely low that's because people are already afraid that there will be more more of more attacks in the 1st place a lot of people did not expect the elections to happen because of the peace talks that were going on and but eventually they were suspended by president trump one of the key reasons for the taliban to not negotiate with one government is president romney because in 2014 before the elections he made promises to them but once he took power. that he could not fulfill those promises so i think that's a likely scenario where interim government will be created. after the election crisis come in so i think that would be the only solution in if you look at the reports that are coming that a peace process is going to start in

a week it makes more sense 15. good morning thanks for watching out international review of we're coming from moscow and this is a had a weight loss pill which is reportedly behind as many as 2000 deaths she's a drug maker face a landmark trial in france is one of the stories you got lined up for you here at r.t. international. thanks guys it's financial survival. when customers go by you reduce the price. well reduce some lower. that's undercutting but what's good for markets it's not good for the global economy. through our media to play just one game so sudden this somebody comes and.

and they don't know what to do with it you know their best hope is to temporize to continue on to the next american election and just drop is our to this side over at least because the democrats are disposed towards the islamic republic so you know maybe we can go back to the old james. quietly give you consistent as i quietly you believe being pressured i'm not. a drug my kid there is on trial over a weight loss pill which something may have killed as many as 2000 people the drug

in question is called a mediator it was introduced in 1986 for diabetics who are trying to lose weight france did 10 years ago but long after other european countries health officials claim it could be a contributing factor in the deaths of patients those who survived say it ruined their lives. they stole my life i had just retired and thought i was going to begin a new life but they can't leave my house now i can't see anyone i get tired all the time something i knew that it was so important the lucky ones like me are condemned to a slow death my life is ruined the truth was hidden from the patients a lie i was created that's why there are doctors pharmacologists and officials that are being accused of conflicts of interest we expect exemplary sanctions because what's at stake is not only what survey did it's also about prevention because we cannot say today that these practices do not exist when i refreshed almost

a 1st order to link the deaths with media digital is why this trial is so important . that andris of course civic we have been waiting for this trial for many years because he has been announced and then it was always being delayed now i'm thinking about the victims some of them are now with us in how they died without making it to the end of this trial it makes me feel so sorry and upset today the trial got in the way we see a very carefully crafted sequence of bringing the case to a tough indictment and a spreadsheet totally revealing the level of the tragedy more than 3700 people have a right to compensation so what's the current thinking while it's alleged that this pill cause high pressure vessels that supply blood to the legs which in turn crucially delivers it to the left a trail of the heart causing a variety of problems it's not reported as some of the deaths were indeed the result of heart failure and cardiac arrest a lawyer for the drug maker though said that the firm didn't know anything about side effects resulting in heart problems. again believe french people today have

little trust in medical companies though and that is dangerous. many scientific publications prove the toxicity which was just enough to be discovered that alone would be enough not to buy this lie from 7 year the criminal investigation into victims interests is now underway but it is also in our interests it benefits society to show that the pharmaceutical companies crimes if they are recognized this crimes by the court won't go unpunished it today we french people want to trust any medication it's necessary to understand what happened with the mistake by the health care regulators was and how the lab was cheating and we have to learn from that and everybody must remember the. victims of oppression in sudan are accusing a majority french bank of complicity in human rights abuses in the country big paper a buzz word to sudan's defacto central bank to a period when widespread rights violations by the regime were carried out in the

country. takes a look at the accusation. charges of crimes and genocide linked to the conflict in sudan's darfur region have been made against the country's former president bashir could now an alliance of human rights organizations waltzed to broaden the responsibility to include french bank b.m.p. . we call on the french authorities to promptly open an investigation to determine whether b.n.p. is criminally responsible for its dealings with sudan 2 out of knowing plaintiffs have waived their right to remain anonymous they are my son an activist who spoke out against the government he was injured during an attack on his village in darfur later arrested and beaten and he says he saw close relatives shot and killed the 2nd is how a silly who was kidnapped by jun 2 read forces of loyalty to the former sudanese

government she was shot tortured and so 100 family members executed so why did they hold the bank responsible for what has happened to them behind the greatest crimes and human rights violations there is always money by granting the sudanese regime access to international money markets b.n.p. power allow the government to function pay its staff military and security forces make purchases abroad all while sudan was a pariah on the international scene for planning and committing crimes in darfur and the crimes were her riffing white spirit human rights violations between 20022008 led to the deaths of more than $300000.00 sudanese civilians b.m.p. power to sudan's defacto central bank giving the former government access to international money markets that's according to the u.s.

department of justice the complainants say that despite subsea. tensional evidence of such crimes they have largely gone on punished we want to make the voices of sudanese victims heard through this complaint to this day the have been denied the possibility of justice whether in sudan before the international criminal court or in the u.s. that reference to the u.s. relates to a previous case against b.m.p. party about the violation of u.s. sanctions partly for its dealings with sudan back in 2014 the banks settled that case for a record $8900000000.00 following so why did the money end was it used to compensate the victims who had been identified and submitted their testimonies quite simply. before these testimonies could be taken into account the u.s. congress passed a law that diverted the b.n.p. power of us find to american victims of terrorism leaving the sudanese and other

victims without any form of redress for the harm they suffered and which the bank is believed to have played a role so with the money in the pockets of the americans and not the sudanese victims now making another attempt to receive restitution this time here in france that's because it snows allow for corporations to be prosecuted if they've played a role in crimes committed a brought r.t. asked to be in for a statement it is yet to respond to that request the parish tribunal must now decide if this new complaint warrants a criminal investigation into b.m.p. power as involvement any case though is likely to prove complex and lengthy meaning the victims still have a long way to go before they may feel that they perceived any justice. ati paris. it's nearly 40 years rather for nearly

40 years the u.k. government has been complacent over fire safety that in direct lobbying of private business interest country. it into the 2017 grenfell tower 5 of fire the u.k.'s deadliest blaze in decades damning conclusion comes from britain's largest firefighters union it believes the tragedy is the result of negligence by government after government going all the way back to margaret thatcher of the 1980 s. this month counsellors from the london boroughs of kensington and chelsea called on the graham full inquiry chief to interrogate 2 other former prime minister did david cameron and reason may have a no criminal charges have been brought in the case so far another expected until at least 2021 according to the metropolitan police.

a spokesman for the u.k. housing ministry says the government did improve public safety in the aftermath of the tragedy also allocated 600000000 pounds for the removal of clothing from buildings with similar characteristics to that used on graham fulton got a speeding from the fire brigade union behind the report explained why they're blaming the government. we believe as the report studies that there were triggers and saw a story that you look back at the lack of the house thought it happened in london and the recommendations from the. far spread rapidly fostered what the government did it's gone right through to eric pickles. and what recommendations we might see in the actions that he actually took and we believe the government didn't take the right action and didn't like the broad changes and that the climate on the outside

of these terrible should not be day should be removed by the government in the faucet was reacted in an outstanding why and the more members fall off was the attended the incident were seen by anyone that i've never seen before we wrap it around that building the next moment what i want to do is cite people's lives so i think the question needs to be also at the government why was this allowed to happen why haven't these these flammable material which is bicycling petrol petrol jacket around the building how on earth did that get through and was that allowed to happen. ok well thanks for watching the program 26 minutes past 11 on those programs coming up for you in your part of the world who are not international after the break.

world is driven by.

the day. we. ask. times are we going on the run of the day afghanistan elects its next president coming up on the show does the spirit of the line of timeshare live on 18 years after 911 and the assassination of the man who warned the usa of the imminent attack the younger brother ahmed shah masood runs to be the next president of afghanistan we speak to him just days after a u.s. military attack that killed or injured at least 17 civilians and we continue our series looking at a new generation of u.s.

investigation of u.s. personnel so today's afghan elections take place amidst deliberate u.s. attempts to curb international law as well as taliban claims that washington is interested only in perpetual conflict mr barak is the problem is that he says he admitted that if you have good $1000.00 or so if big dollars off us why we cannot give you one of the more blog or so of this to go away to different i will simply have different people who defected to the north of the people up on the bridge over there will be bombarded with. different people it was not always like this in fact 911 only happened 2 days after the al qaeda or its as a nation of afghan leader ahmed shah masood who had warned the european parliament of upcoming al-qaeda attacks on the usa his killing prompted vladimir putin to warn george w. bush the day.
