u.s. democrats kick into impeachment mode with an official probe launched into president . the basis for it all relies on a single whistleblower with a 2nd hand knowledge of the events. that started in my dreams in my childhood and. teenage environmentalist. slums world leaders over there in action on climate change with the public seemingly divided by her activism. also france goes to war on gender stereotypes with a new directive aimed at children's toys but the decision has activists arguing about choice and difference. they want to give the freedom to children to choose whatever

they want to girls and boys are different men and women are different and there is no problem to be fixed. your company this evening gets this is the weekly here on r.t. international. ok let's roll it back and start with the biggest news over the past week which was a sense of triumph among democrats after an official impeachment inquiry was launched into president trump the latest chapter has been brought about by his alleged attempts to undermine a key democratic rival in the 2020 presidential race amid claims trump leaned on ukraine's president to investigate joe biden's son's activities in the country supposedly in exchange for u.s. support auntie's a guest on of takes a look at the democrats' session with impeachment. democrats have always seen

impeachment as donald trump's kryptonite a swift and defective way of ending his political life and they've been promising to pull that switch since he got in office the walls feel like they're closing in on the truth and there's racial right now i'm not sure if it was all the law for much longer the walls are closing in and everyone is freaking out the walls are closing the wheels are coming off. the walls are closing in on president trump the walls are closing it will trouble the walls are closing in on the trump white house . all of the walls are closing in at this point the walls are closing in fast and on 3 talked about it so much in fact it almost became too much some would have been forgiven for thinking it was all bark and no bite yet this week to the surprise of some and delight of others house speaker nancy pelosi announced that they're pushing the red button the actions of the trump presidency reveal which just

sounded more fact of the president's betrayal of his oath of office betrayal of our national security and the trail of the integrity of our elections therefore today i'm announcing the house of representatives moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry the launching of the inquiry signals the very start of the proceedings that could eventually end up with impeachment and even trump losing office so what was that thing that was convincing enough for the democrats to finally buckle up take a deep breath and say. an anonymous whistleblower sounded an alarm with the national intelligence over donald trump's conversation with the ukrainian president . during the conversation trump suggested that his counterpart investigate his most likely rival in the 2020 election joe biden and his son hunter over their business in ukraine. apparently as vice president at the time biden sr might have

blackmailed the previous ukrainian administration into closing a corruption investigation into a gas company his son had an executive role that i so you know i get the 1000000000 i will be leaving here i think it was about 6 hours or longer is there really 6 hours that the prosecutors not fired you're not getting the money or son of a. you're fired trump seems to be in all sorts of trouble following palosi is announcement is openly accused of extortion as well as of asking a foreign state to meddle in america's presidential election sounds familiar nobody knows for sure though what exactly trump's words were but the democrats put all their trust in that whistleblower expecting a bombshell collusion story and then trump releases the transcript. there's a lot of talk about biden son that biden stop the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do would be great

biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it it sounds horrible to me the issue of the investigation of the case is actually the issue of making sure to restore the honesty so we will take care of that and we work on the investigation of the case i would kindly ask if you have any additional information that you can provide to us it would be very helpful from the investigation no matter what side you're on that was hardly a bombshell a firecracker a best it gets rough for both camps the transcripts not word for word but rather a recollection of events by witnesses it's vague to the point of a rorschach test anyone can until printed the way they want to and so they do like any mafia boss the president didn't need to say that's a nice country you have it be a shame if something happened to it because that was clear from the conversation there is no quid pro quo necessary to betray your country or your oath of office

even though many read this as a quid pro quo i'm not concerned whether it is a quid pro quo or not now every side's got a lot at stake in this game but it's the democrats who have gone all in there's no way back and normal chips in the bank the impeachment bazooka can fire only one round so they apply the whole arsenal of political stunts in this video for instance democrat adam schiff is giving a monster clause in reading between the lines in the transcript that everyone's seen want you to make up dirt on my political potent understand lots of it. on this and on that and by the way don't call me again i'll call you when you've done what i asked and sure enough there was no way in hell hillary clinton the person with the biggest bone to pick with trump could have remained a bystander in this this occupant occupant of the oval office poses a clear and present danger to our future to our democracy isn't

a saw by putting his personal and political interests ahead of the interests of the american people as for the woman who announced the impeachment in the 1st place she seemed keen to invoke the memory of the russia saga and the hysteria that went with it as we saw with the russian interference and by the way i think russia has a hand in this by the way democrats have backed themselves into a corner and the product the impeachment will follow as of now is a make or break situation but for us democrats the trump ukraine conversation saugus not enough so they now say they won't try to discuss another transcript of his conversations with vladimir putin. paramount need here is to protect the national security of the united states and see whether in the conversations with other world leaders and in particular with putin that the president was also undermining our security in a way that he thought would personally benefit his campaign. russia's foreign

ministry spokeswoman where is the heart of a said trumps decision to publish the ukrainian transcript changes relationships between world leaders and makes it dangerous to negotiate with the us former cia officer john kubiak believes that washington's move could also damages foreign policy i think that is a fishing expedition i saw that this morning in the u.s. media and you know we have this thing in the united states called executive privilege where the executive branch of government is allowed to she conducted business to carry out the diplomacy of the united states in private without having to answer to capitol hill the democrats are looking for more information specifically related to russia that they can use to impeach donald trump doesn't trump will invoke executive privilege and will refuse to turn those documents over that's going to be in the foreign relations of the united states and the relations that we have with other countries if you care if you're

a foreign leader and you can't trust the president of the united states to keep a secret then who can you trust and as a result this will damage u.s. foreign policy. this weeks or a fresh wave of global climate protests including in canada where thousands that took to the streets in cities across the country on notice taking part in a rally of montreal for the canadian prime minister and team activists gratitude for the meeting between the 2 she urged just in truth to do more to save the planet on monday to bag delivered an impassioned address to the un climate action summit swedish campaign rebuked world leaders for failing to tackle the destruction of the buys. you have stolen my dreams my childhood with your empty words and yet i'm one of the jocks once. people are suffering people are dying and tired. because systems are collapsing

we are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is the money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth how dare you thank 6. oh she's been widely praised for her speech there are those who say she's leaving a coat for the younger generation i guess the if looks of the thin line between activism and fanaticism. the thing with climate change is it's called deligated we don't fully understand it ourselves we know it's happening we know some of the reasons but it's all tenuous and the guys who have the best grasp of it scientists and always easy to understand but that's why mother nature gave us climate change activists no need for his meteorology degree there.

are many activists it isn't about science or facts policy or debate it's faith belief in something greater something they don't necessarily understand the conics plain and wound comprehend like the judeo christian religion the world is going to end in 12 years if we don't address climate change we face catastrophe and crisis on this planet climate change but the is not something that we have to prepare for it is something that is here you know there's a word for that this in a feeling that the world is about to end that armageddon is around the corner schooled eschatology and it formed the basis of early christian dogma but the day of the lord will come as

a thief in the night in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise and the elements will melt with fervent heat both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up we should be grateful to climate change activists trying to save. our unworthy polluted souls saved us from judgment day and as with any faith they have a prophet that you need a college education jesus didn't have a university degree now the lord of climate stability has sent us his daughter we are not in school today. and this time we are not alone we have some adults one i work today eva. the him and why because this is an emergency our

house is on the cyan faith is for everyone the rich and the poor all genders races and ages this is a hooley crusade and anyone old enough to hold a protest side or throw a rock concert of the holy spirit of the atmosphere. brings a tear to my eyes it's exactly like the crusade of the year 1212 what thousands of european children joined up to liberate the holy land of course none of them got them many died along the way but c'mon it's kids doing stuff spies everybody plus it makes the heretics look bad oh yeah like with any were legit there are heretics

those who refuse to acknowledge god or whatever you believe in they have a name in this faith climate change deniers as you know me. ground either if you're a skeptic you're a denier and climate change deniers a dirty trashy folk the sort who are going to roast in the hell where the lights stay on even when nobody's home climate change deniers are a danger to our security the gloves are off predatory climate deniers are threat to our children the depravity of climate change denial it sure looks like climate change is the new 21st century dogma over i've gotten through to you we in the media we want to save your soul and if you already think we're.

going to church well on live church just open your internet browser and go to n b c dot com confess their confess my children confess your sins cleanse your polluted sols seriously they've got a climate confessions page that tell me this isn't the full blown religion. told them stories were in the crosshairs on tuesday is the french government signed an agreement to come up gender stereotypes trying to ensure toy makers and sellers don't automatically push dolls for girls cars for boys the new directive seeks to attract more girls toward science activities stating that gender divisions in stores are a thing of the past and should be scrapped before christmas they say is to broaden children's imagination so that they're not influenced by stereotypes as they grow up we're looking to work in the creation of new toys and also how they are

represented in advertisement and the way they are sold fighting discrimination later on requires action right from the very 1st days. i'm also not welcoming them eva this claim is a form of gender engineering here's what our guest had to say. it's really good because they want to put an end to gender toys they want to give the freedom to children to choose whatever they want to so we're not forcing boys to play with dolls if they don't want to of course and girl again they can play with adult all and then they can play without the stuff related to 2 in a computer science maybe math other things that actually will be an incentive to women to choose the subjects in the university a psychology professor in cambridge university someone baron cohen has shown that as early as several days after female babies show an interest in faces.

whereas male babies typically show an interest in mechanical items so there's some hard wiring that the idea that somehow you can change society by by by forcing boys to play with dolls and girls play with trucks. is an absolute it's ludicrous bills and boys a different men and women a difference and there is no problem to be fixed. ok all votes have now been counted in all seriousness up election called in the wake of a donation scoundrel we'll tell you which party has the edge after this short break . the world is driven by shaped by one person.

thinks. we dare to ask. you know world of big part of the new law and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.

chancellor sebastian cook says own v.p. party is well known. election with all the ballots counted it picked up 38 percent of the vote. it's incredible it's an amazing day it's in the story itself fall apart and it will try to. talks to fold the other parties in department and try to form a government to 1st for the people of all stripes thank you. for the last 4 months the country has been ruled by a can't take a government after a donation scandal brought down the conservative coalition about him then the fallout was triggered by a video showing clips as coalition partner offering political favors to a wealthy woman claiming to be from russia in exchange for their nation's for his election campaign instead it became known as the i'd be through the fair is the video shows on this on the shiloh and. this time scared now believes the form

a coalition partners are likely to be using united. but i to get the kurdish understood for you don't doubt it unless the freedom party sort of doesn't want to lose doing. this they don't buy might read choose to go into their opposition. works might try to form a coalition resist social democrats however the issues so separate the social democrats and their conservative party going to match. negotiations will be very difficult but assert option for new recruits would be lucian is the green party but the base of the green party doesn't really want to have a correlation with the conservative courts where fines for people have. bought into kurdish which supports more of this he issues or the other options some more difficult for him. in a move that sounds like a straight out of science fiction the pentagon said monday that it's seeking to

boost the immunity of u.s. soldiers hoping to protect them against chemical and biological attacks through the use of gina teaching there are fears the so-called human up grates could be weaponized as caleb open explains. this soldier of the future won't just be battle trained and ready to kill they'll be genetically engineered to withstand a biological attack the pentagon has a plan for editing the d.n.a. and creating super soldiers why is defense advanced research projects agency doing this to protect a soldier on the battlefield from chemical weapons and biological weapons by controlling their genome have in the genome produce proteins that would automatically protect the soldier from the inside out so far this sounds a little bit closer to science fiction perhaps a bit more fantasy than fact he will be the 1st marine person.

earlier this year a chinese scientist announced that 2 girls were born with edited genomes genomes that were edited to be a child be resistant so with potentially boundless possibilities the question now is what altered genes would a u.s. soldier need try put some brains in them so they can question the policies they're already good soldiers i think i think how god created them is enough good enough for me are you kidding me no no well i'm asking you that the most outrageous thing i've ever heard you get benefits of d.n.a. could be could be used to have long. maybe mitt be less relying on things like waste why why we use this with soldiers you don't like the idea no i don't that's sad because there's got to be consequences to the oh i change you know their strength their vision their it's you know anything's the end anything that would

make them a better. soldier asbos but before you let your imagination run too wild remember the u.s. military says there is no need to worry it's all for a good cause all these technologies they were dual use. you can use them for good and you can use them for evil defense advanced research projects agency is about using them for good to protect our war fighters these fantasies of the super soldier again that they tie into these fantasies of arsenal omnipotence and the superhero fantasies. better been with us for a long time and it relates to any myths of the hero the champion that doesn't mean that some of them might not be be realizable to some extent so there are many reasons why we should not go in that direction we did very dangerous you don't know what kind of. what kind of sex will occur from a genetic change because. interacts and that can often interact in unexpected ways

. as well as the fact that our ability to targets it seems that we need certain cells is still far from perfect the potential genetic engineering should not be underestimated there's a lot that could be done beyond simply fire breathing always on fully weaponized more years and keep your eyes out for the genetically modified soldiers of the future unlike g.m.o. foods they may not always be labeled kaleb up and artsy new york. state without international downhole can still be hit with a place for the top of their. with lawmakers manufactured to send troops to public wells. when the ruling

classes protect them so. when the final larry go round be the one percent so. we can all middle of the room sick. oh. i'm gonna be in by north and so many people because a cop beat em is so bored that even such a bad cop be sending. i'm not filled with love anybody and. i'm here to find the next guy. looked up never get anything done be in feltham feed the dog she even dumped the

a dump. the deflection move for the c.e.o. saying he has the deflection board is happy to say. that is a god given that i got up from many observers. that he and others are going to hear a lot about. that that you can thank god you get nothing like a. long long while the next you know is along the bottom there's a bonus feature live on control cannot all. handle a new person and lead to any move 100 gandhi a new mold gunned. down in the face crosby. ignore you then i'm going to mock you even join you. in the big pain your

existence crossed started 10 years i think it's time to shake things up maybe change the branding maybe the format here is what i've been thinking about next season related episodes filmed on an island 10 experts fight it out for a trophy what do you think ok a more affordable option $25.00 text birds. and one red rose another suggestion geopolitical jeopardy parody no political cookout where we will literally wrote the elites. late night show it's a rare form of these days and it's cheap all you need is an old microphone in a printed banner. to leave me with one of my goals i can do this and laughter politics gone wild like music. ok crosstalk is not about hype it's about meaning 10 years of talk and still going strong.

peter if you want to change something why don't we get rid of the bow tie no that is too much. well and welcome to worlds apart of the big hopes for the u.s. iranian summit on the sidelines of the un general assembly deflated ass promptly as they appeared giving way to the carnival effect preachment proceedings against president trump but while this board life has now moved to washington d.c. curative situation in the gulf remains perilous and open to manipulation is it

likely to get even worst now the trumps attention is diverted elsewhere well to discuss that i'm now joined by i'm at the haiti and iranian writer and the chairman of the gates still an institute in europe mr to hear it's very good to talk to you thank you very much for your time thank you very much now when president trump was delivering his speech at the general assembly earlier this week he seemed rather angry and some observers of the time interpreted that as his frustration of a day rainy and i think in hindsight we can now as safely say that it was probably due to the impeachment speculations as unrelated as these 2 things appear to be do you think they may influence one another do you think trumps political dissent difficult it may have any impact on his it rainy and policy well i don't know it's a matter of pure speculation but what is important is that you're on the you're not

to the states have 2 sets of problems bilateral problems that go back 40 years and multilateral problems that need attention. the mood in washington the problems of the. present trouble may have some nuances in as far as if u.s. is concerned on u.s. policy but the longer on nor does strategy. u.s. policy towards you know in the form of job islamic area probably reluctant i think at the very least 3 can say that both iran and perhaps saudi arabia are following the u.s. as political developments on both countries that calibrating them moves depending on what they think trumps reaction is going to be a what he is chances of political survival are is it fair to say of this point that the iranians definitely want trump out and the saudis.
