democratic congressman in the u.s. offers 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. a series of blasts rocked afghanistan today as a country goes to the polls in presidential elections after earlier threats by the taliban to disrupt a vote for a live update on where we are with it. elsewhere as an investigation reveals that canada has been illegally transporting it plastic waste in the lazy to get reaction from people of the mass climate change rally in montreal. but if you wish if you wish to cure. dishes i'm sorry you. can't help with what am.

i good afternoon just passed 1 pm oscar time this saturday live marty's the world news center is kevin i'm with you this half round up starting with this that again focus on donald trump and the impeachment inquiry now probably critical of the u.s. president's democrat adam schiff as offered an explosive interpretation of trump's now infamous ukraine phone call amid the ongoing impeachment investigation president trump struck back accusing schiff of making up his version of the conversation. want you to make up dirt on my political opponent understand lots of it on this 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 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. on choose to cause the house of representatives formally impeachment inquiry into trouble over alleged attempts by the u.s. president to force his ukrainian counterpart to investigate hunted by the son of joe biden his potential 2020 democratic rival legally meteorologist lionel told us that adam schiff played fast and loose with facts he says 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 sent and then later on when pressed 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 we were america's special envoy to ukraine a step amid the phone calls 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 wanted to try and connect looks at whether or not they've been a bit too quick to write off the story. 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 president trump is again insisting today that reporters should dig into a conspiracy theory involving biden ukraine and a ukrainian prosecutor promoting without evidence the dubious narrative that biden used the office of the vice president to advance and protect his son's interests as dig into these unproven claims that trump is making about the former vice president we cannot have a debate about a conspiracy theory but just how much does the public in america know about the case of a ukrainian energy company a few years ago but 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 schalke in 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 not getting a 1000000000 i'm going to leave in a year i think it was about 6 hours i looked as a reader to 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 recent holdings of natural gas firm active in you. rain and joe biden son hunter biden anyway let me move on with a few more relevant findings by journalists from the hill who study that bunch of e-mails 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 it's just that you wait until the next week when the reason expected in the government. 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

helped wrist mall raised 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 promise 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 ask 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 refused to close this investigation now where that would lead experts in conspiracy tagging or the us public as a whole i have no clue. mass rallies demanding action of climate change when held across canada with over $300000.00 marching in montreal alone teen climate activists credit term bergen's justin trudeau the canadian prime minister also joined the rally to a private meeting privately between the pair she urged him to do more to save the environment meantime than to cover a vest again has found that canadian companies have been sending plastic waste overseas instead of recycling it at home how to do exported more than 10000 tonnes of it to malaysia in 28 it's claimed that that's led to a drastic increase in number of illegal processing factories. inside this factory

we see workers exposed to potentially toxic fumes without proper protection. wherever this stand there are ways to 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 a developed countries we asked people to club it march montreaux whether or not they were aware of what's happening with canadian waste. you know what happens the logic of you can say no. i know pointing to a recent c.d.c. report a lot of just plastic containers being shipped to malaysia where the negotiated i just wanted to get your response to that. but. i thought we should take care of our . dishes in a sense i'm sorry i'm going have not. kept up with what's happened so fast.

it's terrible for civil it's if it's shocking. we should do something about low rates. should be you are looking as well as. you could do a lot of things with respect. to the outfits the gridlock i should things here start someplace like that here sort of send it over there where it's said it's not heard of the philippines has experienced similar problems to my laser in the past few years but to deal with the president to tell he put an end to the violations and literally said but tons of rubbish to canada physicist and environmental scientist dennis rankled told us 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 you are toxic garbage most canadians do diligently recycle and they participate in the in that recycling programs and they assume that their cities and governments are you know following how companies collect and store and recycle this material they can't imagine or that most canadians wouldn't wouldn't think that these companies are actually selling the materials to distant lands to to the. developing world countries it's nasty parker see 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. this is us international thanks for watching us this weekend ahead of the program a weight loss pill which is reportedly behind as many as 2000 deaths sees the drug

maker face a landmark trial and. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to a guest of the world of politics sport i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. through our media to play just one game so sudden this somebody comes out 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 if trump is all over to this side over the east because the democrats are going to disposed towards the islamic republic

so you know maybe you can go back to the old james. quietly give you consistent as i quietly you believe the impression that i'm not. again a health scare and let's rock france a drug makers on trial over a weight loss pill which some think may have killed as many as 2000 people the drug in question is called mediator that was introduced in 1986 for diabetics who are trying to lose weight france banned it 10 years ago must be said but long after other european countries health officials claim it could be a contributing factor in the deaths of patients those who survived so their lives

have been ruined they stole my life i had just retired and thought i was going to begin a new life but they can't live in my house now i can see anyone i get tired all the time savvy i knew that it was selling poison the lucky ones like me are condemned to a slow death my life is ruined the truth was hidden from the patients a lie 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. a refresher was the 1st doc to link the deaths with a mediator she told us why the trial is so important. on that on the use of prosthetic we have been waiting for this trial for many years because it has been announced and then it was always being delayed now i'm thinking about the victims some of them are now with us and one that they died without making it to the end of

this trial it makes me feel so sorry and it's sad today the trial got in the way we see a very carefully crafted sequence of bringing the case to court with a tough indictment and a spreadsheet totally revealing the level of the tragedy more than 3700 people have a right to compensation. over these last 10 years what is the current thinking what is the ledge of this pill called high pressure vessels that supplies blood to the legs crucially which in turn delivers it to the left atrium of the heart causing variety of problems such as it's been reported that some deaths were the result of failure and cardiac arrest as for the drug maker a lawyer for the company said that the firm didn't know about any side effects that could result in heart problems. french people today have got little trust in medical companies and she says 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 severe criminal investigation in the victim's interests is now under way but it is also in our interests it benefit society to show that the pharmaceutical companies crimes if they are recognized this crimes by the 4th one 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 it was and how the lab was cheating and we have to learn from that and everybody must remember are. victims of oppression in sudan are accusing a major french bank of complicity in human rights abuses in the country. works in sudan's defacto central buggering a period when widespread rights violations by the regime were carried out of the country. takes a look at the accusations. charges of crimes and genocide linked to the conflict in sudan's darfur region have been made against the country's former president bashir

but now an alliance of human rights organizations 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 unoiled to the former sudanese government she was short 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 allowed 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 horrific widespread human rights violations between 20022008 led to the deaths of more than 3 $100000.00 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 sips. 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 they have been denied the

possibility of justice whether it's done 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. past for violation of u.s. sanctions partly for its dealings with sudan back in 2014 the banks settled the 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 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 party 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 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 perceive any justice. otty paris right track of presidential election underway in afghanistan today there have been at least 5 blasts in different parts of the country injuring at least 20 people and killing one unconfirmed report. say could be many more up to 20 explosions is no word so far on who's behind the but the taliban militants really did promise to disrupt said vote it's the 4th election after the u.s.

forcibly removed the taliban from power in 2001 and the 1st is donald trump halted peace talks with the group earlier this month all the 9000000 people are registered to vote in the election however the latest survey suggests only about 20 percent of people believe it's going to be free and fair turnout was expected to be low to the afghan government controls slightly more than half the country has checked the maps which panning out the rest is either under the taliban or is contested there are about 5000 polling stations open today that's down from the 7000 initially planned hundreds of the message you waited in dangerous areas to get a handle on it live. in cover or hazleton thanks me with the weekend so as mentioned turnout was expected to be low but i guess it's not going to be helped by the fact that there were already threats from the taliban saying they were good they were going to disrupt this and unconfirmed reports that maybe 20 blasts there's news of that gets around people are going to want to go out are they tell us what's been happening today bring us up to speed. well previously there

were doubts and concerns about this important political process that will take place actually because the priority was to peace process that the international community and regional countries were talking about to to prioritize this process that i mean the peace process but today morning the elections kicked off however the turnout is very low in many parts of the country especially in north and parts of afghanistan in central parts of afghanistan as well as in south and part of afghanistan but also we have been monitoring and seeing that lots of videos and pictures popping up around the social media showing turnout that as you know a big turnout let's say in eastern part of afghanistan. also in the western part of afghanistan but still you know among all these ambiguity and all concerns you know address in the security situation we have you know we have heard more than 20

blasts took place in the capital kabul in south or in kandahar province as well as in a log or province and could this province the taliban are really you know warrant to disrupt the process but you know despite all these threats by it all these insecurity the process hasn't witness a very big damage or a very big let's say obstacle to prevent you know the whole process but we could say that you know saw far we have heard that 3 big attacks have been thwarted by the government forces because the afghan government announced that more than 100000 afghan security forces are deployed to secure the process and you know there hasn't been you know a big threat adat could prevent or that could actually cause the big casualty to.

you know to scare people but still they turn out overall turnout shows that people are scared of the going to the polling stations because it's more of a psychological wall of warfare because here we have heard from there from pakistan that a fatwa was issued. saying the afghan people who want to try to vote so we have to wait and see tell the day is over because the afghan officials are waiting in the devoting a process to end and declare they are chief of men's or let's say their criticism that there has been address in the political process. all right so in kabul thank you for bringing us up to speed there. and thank you
