sorry to hear.

a complaint against. the country's previous. international news center here in moscow this is r t pleasure to have you along my names you know me. a prominent critic of. interpretation of the us president accusing him of simply 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. well and choose the the house of representatives launched a formal impeachment inquiry into donald trump of are alleged attempts to force his ukrainian counterpart to investigate hunter biden the son of former u.s. vice president joe biden trumps potential 2020 alexion opponent legal and media believes adam schiff has played fast and loose with the facts. 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

well in another development america's special envoy to ukraine kurt volker quit and i mean the phone call scandal of course they're still look like asian surrounding joe biden and his son some of which have been dismissed as a conspiracy theory by the mainstream media really but trying to look 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 rove 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. 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 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 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 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 i suggest that you wait until the next week when the reason the expected vote in the government. has 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 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 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 were the 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. demanding action over climate change have been held across canada but almost half a 1000000 marching in montreal alone. would like to discredit canadian prime minister justin trudeau there were a lot of you know during a private meeting between the him to do more to save the environment it's the march

takes place just styles on the cover investigation on that canadian companies have been sending plot stick waste overseas instead of recitals at home color that exported more than 10000 tonnes of it to malaysia and 2018 it is claimed that's led to a drastic increase in the number of illegal processing factories that are. inside this factory we see workers exposed to potentially toxic fumes without proper protection . whoever this sand. waste of malaysia ways where those plastic weighs a lot of ways we will send it back and we will fight that. even though we are all small country we cannot be bullied by developed countries we asked people at the climate march in montreal whether they were aware of what is happening with calibers waste and you know what happened because he got a few seconds. to put into a recent c.d.c.

report a lot of this plastic containers he shipped to malaysia where in india was raided i just wanted to get your response to that how you cope with that but if you ashamed if you wish to cure. dishes in a sense i'm sorry to hear that i believe have not. kept up with what's happened since last. it's terrible for civil servants shockey to say. oh we should do something about it long enough for a child you should be doing it with a says well i would think that they wouldn't. need to do a lot of things with respect to closely to do with how should they do a lot of. these issues things here start just like a big city here sort of send it over there where it's said it was not just malaysia the philippines i was experienced similar problems in recent years too but president to put an end to the violation and send tons of rubbish back to counted

on and date other countries physicist and environmental scientist dennis runcorn ses 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 it garbage most canadians do diligently recycle and they participate in the recycling programs and they use. their cities and governments are. following how companies collect and store and recycle this material they can't imagine or they 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. victims of oppression in sudan are accusing a major french bank of complicity in human rights abuses in the country b.n.p. poverty work to central bank during a period when widespread rights violations by the regime where. he has been taking a look at the accusations. charges of. genocide linked to the conflict in sudan's darfur region have been made against the country's former president. big 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 jaweed forces unoiled to the former sudanese government she was short tortured and saw 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 that 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 $300000.00 sudanese civilians b.m.p. power to 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.

party about the violation of u.s. sanctions partly for its dealings with sudan back in 2014 the bank 2nd that case for a record $8900000000.00 following so why did the money end up. 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 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 sea timmy's 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 broad party asked to be in the power 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. artsy caris defiant afghans turned to vote for their next president on saturday in some cases risking their lives to do so with all the details up to this. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see that.

you are. to play just one so. so that this somebody comes out of the gate and they don't know what to do with it you know their best hope is to temporize it could gin you until the next american election if trump is the decider of relief because the democrats disposed towards the islamic republic so you know maybe you go back to the old james. quietly give you can sit quietly you believe being pressured.

voting has closed the enough gallus thumbs presidential election the poll was marred by sporadic guy bursts of insurgent violence on widespread voter intimidation explosions missile attacks rock polling stations up and down the country with 3 people confirmed dead dozens of others injured the taliban has said it was responsible it is the 4th election since the us forcibly removed the taliban from power in 2001 on the 1st since donald trump broke off peace talks with the group earlier this month more than $9000000.00 people are registered to vote in the election although turnout is said to have been low the 1st results are not expected on till mid october figures show that only 20 percent of afghans believe the vote is free and for. now the afghan government currently controls slightly more than half the country the rest is either on the taliban or contested there were about 5000 polling stations open on saturday but the honest own from the more than 7000

initially planned hundreds of them were situated in dangerous areas afghan based journalists will turn 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 salford in kandahar province as well as in a lot of our 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 out to 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. very busy with. the. music to. do that trying to see voters who are of these laws no one should be afraid of anyone should vote for president because it is their right to vote as you know 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. well a research analyst at the center for conflict and peace studies our line for us the

complexities the challenges posed by the 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 loved both refused to accept the results so i think that point the likely scenario would be that yes election cannot be sorted out then let's have. an interim government where are the taliban are so. 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 of 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 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. hundreds of people gathered in hong kong this weekend to mark 5 years since the start of the cities or revolution the 2014 civil disobedience campaign saw this semi autonomous chinese city state occupied for 79 days as protesters called for free elections saturday's rally also represents a continuation of this summer's pro-democracy demonstrations. security forces quickly tried to disperse the crowds with water cannon and tear gas or some demonstrators bricks molotov cocktails and other objects at officers basement was fully authorized by the authorities and was organized by the civil human rights

front which has brought millions on to the streets in recent months. to help sale of his rock from say drug maker there is on trial over a weight loss pill which something may have killed as many as 2 thoughts and people the drug in question is called mediator it is interesting $176.00 for diabetics who are trying to lose weight front's bonded 10 years ago but that was long after other european countries out health officials claim it could be a contributing factor in the deaths of patients those who survived 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 live in my house now i can see anyone i get tired all the time so he knew that it was selling poison the unlucky 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 well irene fresh shown was the 1st doctor who linked the dance with the mediator she told us why the court case is so important. well that will do 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 one that 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 well it is alleged that the pill caused high pressure in vessels that supply blood to the lungs which in turn

delivers it to the left to the heart causing a variety of problems it's no reported that some of the deaths were the result of heart failure cardiac arrest a lawyer for the drug maker said but the firm did not know about the side effects which resulted in heart problems arena again believes french people today hope 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 severe the criminal investigation into victims' interests is not on the way that is but it is also in our interests it benefit society to show that the pharmaceutical companies crimes if they are recognize this crimes by the 4th one go unpunished 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
