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. on change they be heiser of representatives launched a formal impeachment inquiry into mr trump over alleged attempts to force his ukrainian counterpart to investigate hunter biden the solemn the former u.s. vice president joe biden has potential 20 twentieth's action rifle legal analyst

leinil believes album shift has play fast and loose with the 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 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 well in another development america's special envoy to ukraine kurt volker quit amid the phone call scandal and of course there's still the corruption allegations circulating around don't joe biden his solemn and ukraine some of which has been dismissed as a conspiracy theory by the mainstream media. looks not 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 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 not get the 1000000000 i'm going to leave in a year i think it was about 6 hours i look at really 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 then ukrainian government memo. it turns out the folks from a u.s. 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. has 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 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 you have sufficient 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 this man you are the banco 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. must rallies demanding action over climate change have been held across with iran half

a 1000000 marching in montreal alone teen climates and activists gratitude canadian prime minister just also joined the rally during a private meeting between the parish him to do more to save the an. undercover investigation of canadian companies being sending plus the waste overseas instead of recycling it out home exported more than $10000.00 tonnes of it to malaysia in $28.00 it's plain that's led to address the game crease in the number of illegal processing factories there inside this factory we see workers exposed to potentially toxic fumes without proper protection. whoever in this sad. waste of malaysia ways that is plastic weighs a lot of ways we will send it back and we will fight that. even though we are small

country we cannot be bullied by developed countries becoming a bigger and bigger story so we asked people at the climate march in montreal whether they were aware of what is happening with cannabis waste you know what happened months ago you can take a look. put into a recent c.d.c. report a lot of this plastic containers we shipped to malaysia where in india is rated i just wanted to get your response about how you dealt with that but if you ashamed of it we should take your. dishes in a sense i'm sorry to hear that i believe have not. kept up with what's happened so fast. it's terrible for civil servants shockey to say. we should do something about it long phrase. should be due diligence is well he's saying look. we could do a lot of things with respect to the closeness of the building houses for

a lot of. these issues things here start of this like what is it here that have said it over their words has said the philippines house experienced similar problems to malaysia in recent years but president to turtoni put an end to the violations on sent tongues of rubbish back to counter that and indeed other countries physicist and environmental scientist dennis run courts say he's canadian politicians only pay lip service to environmental concerns. were 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 and the. and that 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. would 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. more coming out about this next story victims of oprah ensued are accusing a major french bank of complicity in human rights abuses in the country b.n.p. worked sudan's defacto central bank during a period when widespread rights violations by the regime were carried out in the country are fronts correspondent charlotte dubinsky takes a closer look at the accusations. the charges of crimes and genocide linked to the

conflict in sudan's darfur region have long been made against the country's former president bashir could now an alliance of human rights organizations waltz 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 are loyal 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 that behind the greatest crimes in 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 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. party about the violation of u.s. sanctions partly for its dealings with sudan back in 2014 the bank 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 no before these testimonies could be taken into account the u.s. congress passed a law the diverted the b.n.p. paragraphs find 2 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 and 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 perceived any justice. ati paris. you're watching are to international lots more news coming off us some of the evening live from moscow in about 90 seconds time.

the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the day or thinks. we dare to ask. like richard marles worst nightmare is like right hi i'm richard burr welcome to dead planet everything on planet earth is dead because been securitized and we consumed it all well there's a teenager in the us more and more they're heartbroken crying her eyes out because

she's going to grow up on a dead planet. securitized and sold and resold and repack it's really. time. we're left with nothing except the dream of one who was one of laws and this is no more. now let's start with the health scandal that has rocked fronts a drug maker there is on trial over a weight loss pill which some think may have killed as many as 2000 people now the drug in question is called mediator it was 1st introduced in 176 for diabetics who were trying to lose weight from a bomb to 10 years ago but that was long after other european countries and health officials claim it could be a contributing factor in the deaths of patients those who survived say their lives helping root. 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 you 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 it 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 well irene was the 1st doctor who linked the deaths with mediator she told us wally the court case is so important one that don't you suppose civic 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 have won that they died without making it to the end of this trial it makes me feel so sorry and

attacked 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 is the current thinking while it's alleged that the pill caused high pressure and vessels that supply blood to the lungs which in turn delivers it to the left atrium of the heart causing a variety of problems it's no reported that some of the deaths with a result of heart failure on cardiac arrest no lawyer for the drug maker response said that the firm did not know about the side effects which resulted in heart problems irene again believes french people today of little trust in medical companies. many scientific publications proved it toxicity which was just enough to be discovered that alone would be enough not to buy this lie from 7

year the criminal investigation in the victim's interests is not on the way but it is also in our interests it benefits the side 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. moving all know voting has closed in afghanistan's presidential election the poll was marred by sporadic bursts of insurgent violence on widespread voter intimidation explosions and missile attacks rock polling station really up and dollars in the country with one person confirmed dead dozens of others injured we know the taliban has said it was responsible for it now it is the 4th election since the u.s.

for sibling removed the taliban from power in 2001 the 1st since donald trump broke off 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 by the way aren't expected until mid tobar figures show that only 20 percent of afghans also believe the vote is free and for. but the afghan government currently control it's just slightly more than half the country the rest really under taliban or contested areas no there were about $5000.00 polling stations open today but that's a lot less than there would have been 7000 initially proposed for the hundreds of them situated in dangerous areas as well afghan based journalist 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 the south or in kandahar province as well as in logar 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 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 $100000.00 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. very busy with. the. music to. do that trying to see voters and for these laws no one should be afraid of anyone who should vote for president because it is their right to vote the security of those. who would be sufficient for 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. to research a list of the center for conflict and peace studies outline for us the complexities the challenges posed by today's election. i hope i'm wrong but we entered through election crisis where the top contenders particularly 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 a 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 one government is president romney because in 2014 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 has come in so i think that would be the only solution and 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. than some other headline stories from across the globe

starting in egypt supporters of the president rallied in cairo friday. to resign is accused of cracking down on the scenting voices. or groups who were corruption claims against his administration rights groups say at least 2000 people have been arrested over the past week. yellow 1st activists right in force in cities across france. continuing their protest campaign against falling living standards the demonstrations took place despite the government helping announced a $9000000000.00 euro tax cut for french ice holds next year a move aimed at helping struggling families our sister t.v. channel r.t. france people in paris if they are satisfied with them. illustrations conversation . yourself and then the there are many who aren't paying taxes because they're destitute exactly have nothing more yeah these people you're seeing here are badly in need of help of course there are those who are here in solidarity but many are
