live from moscow thanks for your national with the tonight's welcome to the program . a prominent critic of donald trump has offered an eye opening interpretation of the u.s. president's now infamous ukraine phone call as the ongoing impeachment investigation appears to pick up steam mr trump struck back at democrat adam schiff 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 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.
7:02 pm

7:03 pm
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 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 so 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 envoys ukraine kurt volker has quit amid that phone call scandal of course there's still the corruption allegations surrounding
7:04 pm
joe biden and his son some of which have been dismissed as a conspiracy theory by the mainstream media. 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 the ukranian energy company a few years ago 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

7:06 pm
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 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 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 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 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
7:08 pm
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 the morning action of a climate change have been held across canada with around half a 1000000 marching in one trailer alone to implement activist and canadian prime minister just to trudeau you so join that running through a private meeting between the past she urged him to do more to save the environment . the march takes place just as an undercover investigation found that canadian companies have been sending plastic waste overseas instead of recycling it at home a kind of their exported more than $10000.00 tons of it to malaysia in 2018 it's
7:09 pm
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. wherever that stand there are ways to malaysia ways where those plastic ways or whatever ways we will send it back and we will fight that even though we are a small country we cannot be bullied by a developed countries and we asked people in montreal whether they were aware of what's happening with kind of his way to. you know what happens plus you know you can say no. i know pointing to a recent c.d.c. report a lot of this plastic containers been shipped to malaysia where to get it i just wanted to get your response to that how you dealt with that but you're so rude if you ashamed if you wish take your. dishes in
7:10 pm
a sense i'm sorry to hear that my building has not. kept up with what you know. it's terrible for civil servants shockey to say. we should do something about this long phrase you should be doing philippines as well will be insisting that you could do a lot of things with respect to close the houses like the grandma's i think these things should do things here start of this like a big city here sort of send it over there we're just said. the philippines has experienced similar problems to malaysia in recent years what president does that say put an end to the violations and sent tons of rubbish back to canada as well as other countries physicist that environmental scientist dennis run court says canadian politicians only paid lip service to environmental concerns. true or not such a hypocrite he would not be marching in montreal he would be making an announcement
7:11 pm
that they're going to ban this kind of moral and improper behavior in the world which is to export your toxic garbage most canadians do recycle and they participate in the recycling programs and the. their cities and governments are. following how companies collect and store and recycle this material they can't imagine or the most canadians. think that these companies are actually selling their 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 walking this march. victims of oppression in sadar

accusing a major french bank of complicity in human rights abuse in the country beyond the party but worked on the fact that central banks are in a period when widespread rights violations by the regime were carried out correspondent shot at their takes a closer 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 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 spent. out against the government he was injured during an attack on his village in darfur
7:13 pm
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 shot 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 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 sudanese
7:14 pm
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 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 us 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 seckel the case for a record 8900000000 dollars following so why did the money end was it used to compensate the victims who had been identify. and submitted their testimonies quite simply.
7:15 pm
before these testimonies could be taken into account the u.s. congress passed a law that diverted the b.n.p. paragraphs 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 not 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 brute 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 as 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.

7:17 pm
a dream when it was little was and it is no more. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. thinks . we dared to ask. for much the programme voting is closed in afghanistan's presidential election but it's been marred by tragedy local afghan media are now reporting as many as 32 people were killed and more than 100 wounded as insurgent violence rocked the
7:18 pm
country explosions a missile attacks occurred at polling stations up and down the troubled nation the taliban has claimed responsibility as the 4th election since the us full simply remove the taliban from power in 2001 in the 1st since donald trump broke off peace talks with the group 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 on expected until mid october. figures show that only 28 percent of afghans believe the vote is free and fair. the afghan government currently controls slightly more than half the country the rest is either under the taliban or contested there were about 5000 polling stations open on saturday but that's down from the more than 7000 initially planned hundreds of them were situated in dangerous areas afghan based journalists full time face he spoke to us earlier about the election. today morning the elections kicked off however the turnout is very low in many
7:19 pm
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 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 is a very big damage or a very big obstacle to prevent you know the whole process but we could say that you know i 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 still at the turnout
7:20 pm
overall turnout shows that people are scared off the going to the polling stations doing good c.-q. very busy with. the we're using 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 a research analyst at the center for conflict and peace studies outlined for us the complexities and challenges posed by saturday's election. i hope i'm wrong but we will enter to election crisis where the top contenders particularly the president in his chief executive of the law both refuse to accept the results so i think that
7:21 pm
point the likely scenario would be that selection cannot be sorted out then let's have. an interim government where 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 of the army 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 thousands of people gathered in hong
7:22 pm
kong this weekend to mark 5 years since the start of the umbrella revolution the 2014 civil disobedience campaign saw the 7 autonomous chinese city state or que pide for 79 days as protesters called for free elections saturday's rally also represents a continuation of this summer's democracy demonstrations. i security forces quickly tried to disperse the crowds want to get in and tear gas as some demonstrators threw bricks of quote sales and other objects at officers event was fully authorized by the authorities and was organized by the civil human rights front which was brought millions on to the streets in recent months. on to health scandal that's rocked france now a drugmaker verizon trial over a weight loss pill which some think may have killed as many as 2000 people
7:23 pm
a drug in question is called a mediator it was introduced in 1976 for diabetics who were trying to lose weight france banned it 10 years ago but that was long after other european countries 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't see anyone i get tired all the time something i knew that it was so important the lucky ones like me are 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 serve you did it's also about prevention because we cannot say today that these practices do not exist here in fresh on was the 1st
7:24 pm
doctor who linked the deaths with the mediator she told us why the court case is so important. when i told you supposed civic we have been waiting for this trial for many years because he has been announced and then it was always being delayed see him now and thinking about the victims some of them are now with us and he died without making it to the innocence 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 kings to a tough indictment and a spreadsheet totally reviewing the level of the tragedy more than 3700 people have a right to compensation. so what's the current thinking while 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 atrium of the heart causing a variety of conditions was now reported that some of the deaths were the result of heart failure and cardiac arrest and nowhere for the drug makers said the firm and
7:25 pm
didn't know about the side effects which resulted in heart problems it mean for again believes french people today have 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 in the victim's interests is not on the way in that 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 won't go unpunished be able to do 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. the cause a report coming up next for you back in 30 minutes with the latest global news headlines see that.
7:26 pm
this is a story about what happens auster a stray bullet kills a young girl in the streets. what happens to her family and daughters in florida law the mother daughter is buried in a cemetery it really messes with your head what happens to the community the public was screaming for a scapegoat the police needed a scapegoat so why not choose a 19 year old black kid with a criminal record who better to pin this on than him and what happens in court to be. shocked shocked as far. as i feel that we don't know still just for the. end of this trial unfortunately you. will still love the no kill just.
7:27 pm
that he threw out. to play just one game so. a sudden this somebody comes on the other day and they don't know what to do with it you know they had a business to use to temporize and i'm to continue on to the next election if trump is all wood to this side over it he was a democrat saw it said disposed towards these loving republicans so you know maybe you can go back to the old james over it quietly give you consistent as i quietly you believe the impression that i must.
7:28 pm
does are this is the kaiser report and we are in palm springs california krypto springs 29 seen lots going on last to talk about. yes well we've had a wonderful time here it is about 100 degrees fahrenheit it is about 100 degrees fahrenheit or i guess that's about 38 celsius for those in europe we've had the big crash well we've been here 16 percent move in bit by in prices some of the points were down up to 40 percent of course the impeachment proceedings against the president have also started while we've been here so it's been a very fascinating busy time while we've been here but i want to turn to our 1st headline because this is a topic that you and i have been covering report and i know our guest coming up in the 2nd half this is his specialty negative interest rates or social political
7:29 pm
poison and this is from talk dot com and he's looking at a story out of germany from veldt financial news and they say that the their articles called interest rate business model is dead the e.c.b. will restart its bond purchase program in november this time without a time limit thus the monetary authorities have permanently changed the long term interest rate at a low level and cut the profit opportunities of the financial sector to a level that is not sustainable for a long time institutions have made good money from the difference between long term and short term interest rates that time is now over bankers eat their young you know just. barreled little baby bear in a bear market and everybody gets in a. they've destroyed the economy in so many ways there was only one place to go and
7:30 pm
that was to destroy themselves and now these banks are imploding the interest rate model is dead as as talked about as referenced you can make any difference between the difference between different time values of money and so now this is the end game of monitor there is asian and neo liberalism we get to watch and a life time the social fallout will be spectacular we already see uprisings all over the world get ready for the global insurrection against banker occupation so break up fireworks maybe it's time to go big yes so in particular these are the european banks we see the european banks suffering the most we see their stock prices has have collapsed we see their bonds collapsing we see like for example j.p. morgan enjoys your bank at the beginning of this financial crisis in 2008 they were roughly the same size now j.p. morgan is about 10 times the size of joint should be.
