claims of complicity victims over oppression in. a complaint against a major friendship bank alleging it provided a lifeline to the brutal rights abusing regime. to the world international my names you know me hello and welcome to the program our top story a prominent critic of donald trump. opening interpretation of the u.s. presidents now infamous ukraine phone call was the only impeachment investigation appears to pick up steam mr trump struck back at democrats accusing him of simply making up his version of the conversation.

want you to make up my political opponent understand lots of it. 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 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. alone choose the the house of representatives launched a formal impeachment inquiry into mr trump over alleged attempts to force his ukrainian counterpart to investigate hunter biden the son of former u.s.

vice president joe biden his potential 2020 election rival legal media analyst believes adam schiff has played fast and loose with the facts when presenting. to details off 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 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 in another development america's special envoy to ukraine kurt volker quit amid the phone call scandal and of course there's the leak corruption allegations circulating a rodent joe biden and his son some of which have been dismissed as a conspiracy theory by the mainstream media and people trying to looks at whether they're being 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 get the 1000000000 i'm going to leave in a year i think it was about 6 hours 6 hours if 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 breeze mode ngs and natural gas in ukraine and joe biden. 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 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 expected to vote in the government. it's been revealed that on the same day prosecutors 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 raised 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 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 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. the voting has closed in afghanistan's presidential election the poll was marred by sporadic a burst of insurgent violence on widespread voter intimidation explosions on

missile attacks rocked polling stations up and down the country with one person confirmed dead dozens of others injured the taliban said it was responsible it is the 4th election since the us for simply removed the taliban from power in 2001 on the 1st since donald trump broke all peace talks with the group earlier this month more than $9000000.00 people were registered to vote in the election although turnout is said to have been low the 1st results aren't expected until mid october figures show that only 20 percent of afghans believe the vote is free for. afghan government currently controls slightly more than half the country the rest is either under the taliban or contested there were about $5000.00 polling stations open today but that is done from the more than $7000.00 which were initially planned hundreds of them were situated in dangerous areas afghan based journalist suits on phasey reports on the election. 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 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 crudest 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 which is a very big damage or a very big obstacle to prevent you know the whole process but we could say that you know there's so far we have heard that 3 big attacks have been thwarted by the government forces because the afghan government announced more than 100000

afghan security forces are deployed to secure the process still they turn out overall turnout shows that people are scared off the going to the polling stations doing good c.-q. busy with. the. music to. do that trying to see voters and for these laws no one should be afraid of any of them should vote for president because it is their right to vote the security of those. who would be sufficient. the security is good right now we are voting to have a democratic country on land should be peaceful and our people should be happy or a research analyst at the center for conflict and peace studies are blind for us the complexity and challenges posed by today's election. i hope i'm wrong but we will enter through election crisis where the top contenders particularly the

president in his chief executive of the law bill i would both refuse to accept the results so i think that point what the likely scenario would be that selection cannot be sorted out 4 then let's have. an interim government where are the taliban are also. happy about it in that it could give a chance to. peace peace as well i think you know one of the key reasons for the taliban to not negotiate with want to government is president romney 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 and in it if you look at the reports that are coming that a peace process is going to start in

a week it makes more sense. mass rallies demanding action over climate change have been held across canada with around half a 1000000 marching in montreal alone teen climate activists gratitude canadian prime minister just an trudeau also joined the rolling during a private meeting between the per she urged him to do more to sing the vironment. and that comes. undercover investigation find the canadian companies have been sending plastic waste overseas instead of recycling it home. exported more than 10000 tonnes of it to malaysia and 28 in this claim that's led to a drastic increase in the number of illegal processing factories there. inside this factory we see workers exposed to potentially top. fumes without proper protection . for whoever this sand there are

ways to laser where the ways where those plastic ways are whatever ways we will send it back and we will fight back even though we are small country we cannot be bullied by a developed countries. well we asked people at the climate march in montreal whether they were aware of what's happening with canada's waste. you know what happens a lot you know you can speculate no. i know pointing to a recent c.d.c. report a lot of this plastic and now has been shipped to malaysia where to negotiate it i just wanted to get your response to that how you. feel sorry if you ashamed of it we should take care of our. dishes in a sense i'm sorry to hear that 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 it long range. should be due diligence as well

built into. the to do a lot of things with respect to lawsuits to build houses to grow a lot of things i think should things here start someplace like a city where sort of send it over there where it's just said well it's a growing issue the philippines has experienced similar problems to malaysia in recent years but president deterred say put an end to the violations and sent tons of rubbish back to canada and other countries physicist and 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 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 those materials off to distant lands to to the developing won't 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 walking this march. you're watching are to international still ahead a weight loss pill which is reportedly behind as many as 2000 dead it seems the drugmaker face a landmark trial rolls. back

scousers financial survival. housing bubble. oh you mean there's a downside to artificially low mortgage rates don't get carried away that's cause report.

let's start back with a health scandal valve has rock fronts a drug maker there is on trial over a weight loss pill which some think may have killed as many as 2000 people the drug in question is called immediate or it was introduced in 176 for diabetics who are trying to lose weight france bombed it 10 years ago but that was long after other group in countries heard health officials claim it could be a contributing factor in the deaths of patients those who survive say 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 lose my house now i can see anyone i get tired all the

time so if you knew that it was so you poison the lucky ones like me 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 did it's also about prevention because we cannot say today that these practices do not exist. well irene from was the 1st doctor who linked the debts with mediator she told us why the court case is so important one that don't you suppose have it 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 not with us and they died without making it to the end of this trial it makes me feel so sorry and upset that 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 that well here's the current thinking it's alleged that the pill caused high pressure in vessels that supply blood to the lungs which in turn delivers it to the left of the heart causing a variety of problems it's no reported that some of the deaths were the result of heart failure cardiac arrest the lawyer for the drug maker said the firm however did not know about this side effects which resulted in heart problems irene again believes french people today of little trust in medical companies. many scientific publications proved the toxicity which was just enough to be discovered that alone would be enough not to buy this lie from severe the criminal investigation in the victim's interests is now underway 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 was and how the lab was cheating and we have to learn from that and everybody must remember the. victims of oppression and so down are accusing a major french punk of complicity in human rights abuses in the country. worked the fact to central bank sharing a period when widespread rights violations by the regime were carried out in the country our friends correspondent charles has been taking a look at the accusations. charges. and genocide linked to the conflict in sudan's darfur region have been made against the country's former president bashir big 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 our city who was kidnapped by jun 2 we force is a loyal to the former sudanese government she was short tour. 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 horrific widespread human rights violations between 20022008 led to the deaths of more than $300000.00 sudanese civilians b.m.p. power would just sit downs 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 substantial 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 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. past 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 the diverted the b.n.p. progress fine 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's north allow for corporations to be prosecuted if they've played

a role in crimes committed a brought r.t. erst b.m.p. power for a statement it is yet to respond to that request the paris 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 perceived any justice. ati paris ok just time to get a check on some other global headlines starting in egypt the scenes of support for the president rallied in cairo on friday as calls grow for abdel fattah el-sisi to resign he's accused of cracking down on the scenting voices in the country is under grows over corruption claims against his administration rights groups say at least 2000 people have been arrested over the past week. start to misrata force in cities

corner. not that. i. threw on. to play just one game so sudden this somebody comes and prays another day 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 would decide it 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. sure we're going on the run of the day afghanistan elects its next president coming up on the show does the spirit of the line of time share live on 18 years after 911 and the assassination of the man who warned the usa of the imminent al-qaeda attack the younger brother ahmed shah masood runs to be the next president of afghanistan
