a top us democrats will focus the author of. a deeply misleading summary of the president's controversial phone call with the leader of the ukraine. as an investigation reveals kind of has been illegally transporting its plastic waste to malaysia to get reaction from the mask want to change. but. if you wish to cure. dishes i'm sorry to hear i'm feeling and i. can't come up with one thing our. claims of complicity victims of suppression of oppression and complaints against the major french alleging it provided a lifeline to the brutal rights abusing regime of the country's previous leader.

live from moscow thanks for joining us and i don't know hawkins reviewed shooting in from today thanks for joining us. a prominent critic of little trump has offered an eye opening interpretation of the u.s. president's now infamous ukraine phone call that's 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. i. want you to make up dirt on my political opponent understand lots of it on this that there's a lot of talk about the biden 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 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 down and i look forward to seeing you. on tuesday the house of representatives launched a formal impeachment inquiry into donald trump over alleged attempts to force his ukrainian counterpart to investigate. the son of former u.s. vice president joe biden trumps potential 2020 election opponent illegal media but eaves out of shift has played fast and loose with the facts when it comes to 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 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 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 envoy to ukraine volcker has quit amid that

phone call scandal and of course there's still that ongoing and occasions surrounding joe biden and his son some of which have been dismissed as a conspiracy theory by the mainstream media if you're trying to looks at whether they're being a bit too quick to write off a 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 risk 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 looked as it really was 6 hours that the prosecutors 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 it's just that you wait until the next week when the reason expected to 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 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 really 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 that is 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. ronnie's the morning action of a climate change has been held across canada with around half a 1000000 marching in montreal alone. and canadian prime minister justin trudeau also joined the rally in a private meeting between the parish urged him to do more to save the environment. the march takes place just as an undercover investigation found that canadian companies have been setting plastic waste overseas instead of recycling to the home

and other exported more than 10000 tonnes of it to malaysia back in 2018 it's claimed that's led to a drastic increase in the number of processing factories in the country inside this factory we see workers exposed to potentially toxic fumes without proper protection . whenever this and 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 or we are people at the climate in montreal whether they were aware of what's happening with canada's waste. and you know what happens much you know if you take a look no. sign of pointing to a recent c.d.c. report a lot of this plastic containers been shipped to malaysia where it didn't get it i just wanted to get your response to that how you. feel surreal if you ashamed if

you wish take your. dishes in the 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 it long phrase. should be due to what is well we'll be seeing. you do a lot of things that we certainly close the houses like the grillo things which i think these initiatives things here start to miss like the way we sit here in the senate over their words has said. the philippines has experienced similar problems the major in recent years but president did say as he put an end to the violations and sent tons of rubbish back to canada as well as other countries physicist and environmental scientist dennis run call says canadian politicians are only paying 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 they participate in the in that 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. 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 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 sudan or accusing a major french bank of complicity in human rights abuses in the country b. and b. per about what the fact that central bank during a period when widespread rights violations by the regime carried out. shot at the 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 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 unoiled 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 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 3 $100000.00 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. 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 settled 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 us congress passed a law the diverted the b.n.p. paragraphs 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 the sudanese victims now making another attempt to receive restitution this time here in france that's because it's new allow for corporations to be prosecuted if they've played a role in crimes committed a brought r.t. asked to be in 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. auty paris about the war headlines in just a few moments times they with us in our international.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics sport i'm sure. i'll see you then. welcome back to the program voting is closed in afghanistan's presidential election it's been marred by tragedy local media reporting as many as 32 people were killed and more than half more than 100 wounded as insurgent violence rocked the country explosions and missile attacks occurred at polling stations up and down the

troubled nation the taliban have claimed responsibility as the 4th election since the u.s. force of the remove the taliban from power in 2001 and the 1st since donald trump broke off peace talks with the group earlier this month more than $9000000.00 people registered to vote in the election though 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 and fair the afghan government to currently control 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 journalist sultan fires he spoke to us earlier about 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 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 $100000.00 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. visiting 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. 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 of a conflict and peace studies outlined for us the complexities and challenges posed by saturday is election. i hope i'm wrong but we will enter through election crisis where the top contenders particularly the president his chief executive of the lock and 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 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 one government is president only 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. for health scandal that's rocked france now 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 mediator it was introduced in 1976 for diabetics 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 i can't leave my house now i can see anyone i get tired all the time savvy me that it was selling 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 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 or in fresh on was the 1st

doctor who linked the deaths with me data she told us why the court case is so important. well that will do you suppose have it we have been waiting for this trial for many years because he 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 what 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 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 that's caused a variety of problems was now reported that some of the deaths were the result of heart failure and cardiac arrest a lawyer for the drug makers said though the firm didn't know about the side

effects which resulted in the health problems it really fresh on again believes french people today have 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 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 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 programming from a documentary channel coming your way now we're back at the top of the hour with the latest news for you.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. very dramatic development only. i don't see how. you sit down and talk. there's a tense situation in venezuela is still all over the news the problem in venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented but that socialism has been faithfully implement for inside venezuela things were different we're going to announce sanctions against. venezuela so as you. have a son of a moment to. get out of that political battle to stay on the keep.

the focus on the who story isn't new nixon called in henry kissinger to tell him not be tolerated in latin america. terms of economic and social system could take hold and therefore the policy would be to make. the economy scream so wants to make the economy of venezuela screed. live. leg.
