1:05 pm
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. if you go the route of all the 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 bristol mr biden seen here 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 boris 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 get the 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 that the prosecutor is 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 peru's mode ngs and natural gas in ukraine and joe biden and biden was a member of the board of directors anyway let me move on with a few more relevant findings by a journalist from the hill who studied a bunch of e-mails and 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 ukrainian embassy diplomat to one of the people
1:07 pm
from the firm said this with regards to the missing some i suggest that you wait until the next week when the reason expected in the government. it's been revealed that on the same day. a prosecutor's 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 a 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 us the informed me that they would seek to facilitate my visit to the us to pass on the correct information to state department officials. after
1:08 pm
this man you were 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 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. ok let's leave washington for naught because voting has closed enough galveston's presidential election the poll has been marred by sporadic bursts of insurgent violence on widespread voter intimidation explosions

reports on the election. today morning the elections kicked off however the turnout is very low in many parts of the country we have heard more than 20 blasts took place in the capital kabul in south or in kandahar province as well as in logar province and could this province the taliban are really no warrant to disrupt the process but you know despite all these threats spite all these insecurity the process hasn't been is 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 so far we have heard that 3 big attacks have been thwarted by the government forces because the afghan government announced that more than 100000

enter through election crisis where the top contenders particularly for the president in his chief executive of the law both refused to accept the results so i think that point what the likely scenario would be that selection cannot be sorted out then let's have. an interim government where are the taliban are also. happy about it in that it could give a chance to the peace piece as well i think you know one of the key reasons for the taliban to not negotiate with one government is president of the army because in 24000 before the elections he made promises to them but once he took power. 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

a child you should really do philippines as well what do you think there would. be to do a lot of things with respect to the closest thing to do with how should we do a lot of. these additional things here the start of this like a city here that have said it over their words this city yet certain becoming a bigger issue the philippines has experienced similar problems to malaysian recent years but president deter to put an end to the violations on sent tons of rubbish back to canada and other countries physicist a environmental scientist dennis run courts say he's canadian politicians only pay 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
1:16 pm
they participate in the in that recycling programs and the assume that their cities and governments are. following how companies collect and store and recycle this material they can't imagine or they most canadians wouldn't think that these companies are actually selling the materials off to distant lands to 2 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. still ahead a weight loss pill which is reportedly behind as many as 2000 dead since the drugmaker face a landmark trial in. you
