sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us now the only u.s. president ever to be impeached twice has again been acquitted in a senate trial the vote was 572-4310 short of the 2 thirds needed to convict donald trump of inciting the capital riots last month. and was watching it all unfold for us. well it takes 2 thirds of the u.s. senate to convict a president in impeachment proceedings so now that donald trump has been acquitted they failed to get the motes necessary to convict him we've actually heard this statement from the former us president about the proceedings here's what he said it is a sad commentary in our times that one political party in america is given a free pass to denigrate the rule of law defame law enforcement cheer mopsa excuse writers and transform justice into a tool of political vengeance and persecute blacklist cancel and suppress all people and viewpoints with whom or which they disagree is certainly been
9:02 pm
a colorful few days during the impeachment proceedings a lot of very emotional and heated words were exchanged many looked on it kind of the shocking theatrical that took place from both sides as the debate went on here's some of what we've seen over the past few days during the proceedings on capitol hill this cannot be the future of america as one senator said they could have killed all of us with this trial you will open up new and bigger wounds across the nation he didn't just tell them to fight like hell. he told them how where and when the majority in the house of representatives does not want to face donald trump as our political rival in the future donald trump surrendered his role as commander in chief and became the inciter in chief $75000000.00 americans voted for donald trump and throughout the proceedings donald trump's attorneys made
9:03 pm
the point that the results of this trial are ultimately going to be the further do usually of the country the country is going to be much more polarized with trump supporters feeling that the establishment is out to get them and not allowing their voice to be heard here is some of the points we heard from trump's attorney they tell us that we have to have this impeachment trial such as it is to bring about unity but they don't want unity and they know this so-called trial will tear the country in half leaving tens of millions of americans feeling left out of the nation's agenda. as dictated by one political party that now holds the power in the white house and in our national legislature this trial will tear this country apart perhaps like we've only seen once before in our history now many republicans are saying that this was essentially a show trial this wasn't so much about actually convicting donald trump actually taking office action against donald trump to prevent him from running for office
9:04 pm
but more about the democrats trying to run donald trump's name through the mud and trying to put on a show of the fact that they are now in power they do have the majority in the senate and the house and they do control the white house and this was the democrats are making clear that they're in charge now and many are looking on at this and saying this is only going to inflame donald trump supporters only going to reinforce the notion that trump was fighting for them against the status quo and so the divisions in the united states remain thoroughly intact donald trump is acquitted he will be allowed to run for office once again he is banned from social media that's pretty clear he's not on twitter now the statement he gave did not announce a new presidential run but there was an interesting line towards the end of it about trump having a vision for the future of the united states not exactly clear what that means but it appears that we haven't heard the last from donald trump jennifer de master legal analyst and international law attorney and nick sar walk in tourney and
9:05 pm
former chair of the libertarian national committee gave us their take on the things following the not guilty vote. the very problem that we have the division in the country is that not only were those senators jurors witnesses they were also victims of the insurrection on january 6th and still voted not to convict at least 43 of them voted not to convict and that i think that's the irony of this trial and does explain the herb highlight the division in the country that is a testament to the fact that this is a mix of both a legal and a political process and there is no trial in which jurors could be helping one side or the other with their arguments during breaks but in impeachment it is it's a normal part of the process because it is that makes process which is why the 6th amendment doesn't apply to impeachment trials because there is no opportunity to lose your liberty it was not necessary you know that was one of the main talking
9:06 pm
points that really this was a giant waste of time that only did it accept the tronto base but it's a lot of the biden base is well a lot of the people that voted for biden that listen to some of these stories about trump who thought that biden was going to come in and be this uniting force he knows how the you know the game is played he's going to give us you know $2000.00 checks on day one none of that's happened in fact millions of jobs have been lost cause of insulin got hired and congress has spent all of their time on this and this really it was a show and if it was a show it was probably one of the worst shows that you could have ever seen because it didn't look good for anybody involved they didn't look at for the democrats at all their case was completely obliterated what's interesting to me is that 2 of the men that said this was an unconstitutional in pietschmann in general still voted to convict i think it's actually says less about what influence mcconnell might have had and more about what kind of people are we voting into the legislature that don't even understand a lot of or can actually have the gall to say this isn't constitutional but it's
9:07 pm
we're still going to say these are guilty and of these are supposed to be law makers lawmakers representative people and so it's embarrassing on both sides of the aisle and i think some of the attorneys made that there. the united states has sold more than a 1000000 barrels of oil that was seized from iranian tankers last year as part of washington sanctions program and another captured vessel is currently on its way to u.s. port the seizures have become standard practice for the u.s. as punishment for tehran's alleged nuclear plans washington claims all income generated will go to its fund for victims of state sponsored terrorism but is that really the case here's artes on quarter of commentary. need my deah for a side hustle put sanctions on a country pirate its oil exports and sell it that's what the us did with a 1000000 barrels of iranian oil seized under its sanction regime last year and suffice it to say there were some handsome profits to be made while the value of
9:08 pm
the seized fuel has not been announced compared to european gasoline prices the sale could equate to tens of millions of dollars while washington says the revenue will be used for the greater good the u.s. victims of state sponsored terrorism fund cording to its website victims are embassy workers who were held hostage in iran in 1989 and anyone who won a lawsuit against those who the u.s. considers state sponsors of terror but who exactly are these people has anyone ever seen them we're talking about tens of millions of dollars here don't worry until we find out who gets the money washington says it will be safely in the hands of government agencies and as for what effect this all has on iran the world's 4th largest oil reservoir taran claims it's not flinching in the face of u.s. sanctions. to the enemy and trump one of us to perish and our experts to reach the room we set the highest record of exports in the history of the will industry during the embargo period still the country is fighting tooth and nail to
9:09 pm
get those sanctions lifted and revive the iran nuclear deal which the trumpet ministration pulled out of in 2018 biden though seems no more willing to cooperate than his predecessor will the us lift sanctions 1st in order to get iran back to the negotiating table. now the international court of justice is claiming it has jurisdiction over iran challenging u.s. sanctions the same ones that were imposed under former president donald trump and washington is telling the court to mind its own business and why not for he who controls the seas it's a never ending feast of someone else's oil and mountains of profit. international oil economist dr mom do solomon told us that actions like this undermine america's status. well that's true it's. imperious sanctions as a general said everybody to see the essentials as it has no intention
9:10 pm
national weather service to move that. jurisdiction on genocide. or all of the sudden it of her demands. i'm going to come here only it's war and of course that will happen if the u.s. coalition with the united states and. tries the right. it does seem you can. send me some troops clearance sales. and dispense i'm going to serve but i think it's going to have this remorse it will dispense agreement is larry sauce. lawmakers are demanding an investigation after a leak to message suggested a top aide to the new york governor admitted withholding the correct figures on covert deaths in care homes. basically we froze because then we were in the
9:11 pm
position where we were unsure if what we were going to give to the department of justice was going to be used against us while we weren't sure if there was going to be an investigation the scandal escalated 2 weeks ago when the new york attorney general's report accused the cuomo administration of undercounting covert deaths in nursing homes by some 50 percent the state health department then revealed a nearly 4000 previously unreported victims who had later died in the hospital or another facility one grieving daughter who lost her mother says new york's vulnerable elderly are being used as political pawns. but you know the sad part is that they used our seniors and everything that they it was going on with death that death toll to their political advantage they were covering up for in order to remain in power and that's that's a travesty that they did that not only to seniors but to get to their loved ones when we've been calling from mines for answers and accountability and all we we've
9:12 pm
been met with insults and with stonewalling so we're happy that this is starting to come out and we just believe this is that chip of the dice work and senior cuomo advisor has promised an investigation but blamed the trumpet ministration for what it presented as a politically motivated smear campaign. says an unbiased probe is essential to revealing the truth the reality is that we needed an independent investigation with subpoena power to be able to get to the communications that were happening before the election if they're going to play political football with our seniors and with this information then we're still not hopeful that they'll be held accountable governor cuomo just press conferences has said who cares where the seniors died we care we continue to say that we care where they died we care where they died and we hear how they died. senior lawyers in belgium have written an open letter warning
9:13 pm
that the government code restrictions are eroding the law because they failed to get parliamentary approval 1st. what we have criticized is the fact that the covert measures in belgium the create by ministerial decree we think restrictions on the fundamental liberties shouldn't be decided. by the law an active part of that is the probably to deal with that sort mentions. well restrictions are still in place including night curfew across the country bars and restaurants remain shut and a visit to the homes of family and friends are banned people must also go shopping alone and work from home whenever possible in their letter the lawyers added the lack of political legitimacy gives perfect grounds for public unrest something the country has repeatedly suffered through the lockdown the government insists it will submit a pandemic law to parliament but the lawyer we spoke to says that should have been
9:14 pm
done a long time ago we know one year from the start of the pandemic and we think. governments have sufficient time to put in place a new piece of legislation that could replace the urgent ones on the provisional that could be taken in march so it is it is sad to see that this house has not turned up and we live under the rule of law and we want the rule of law to prevail in all circumstances also also in particularly difficult situations like the crisis we're going to now that is what i'm concerned. to paris police officers are said to be charged over violence at a yellow vests protest in 2101 is believed to have fired a stun grenade that left activist jerome rodriguez blind in one eye he told us his injury was just the start of government led attacks. i
9:15 pm
joined the political opposition at least in relation to mark rowlands policies considering what is happening in many countries it is obvious that they are trying to silence me it is not only about a bullet or a grenade as a result of which i lost an eye on january 26th and 2019 but also about everything that followed the pressure i was subjected to subsequent problems accusations that were brought forward against me from the government or certain ministers and assembly members. cameras that captured the moments after rodriguez was hit in the eye thousands were injured in the yellow vest of mass rallies for economic justice that broke out in 2018 a study found that 5 protesters lost hands from being hit by police munitions and 30 were partially blind to the number of disciplinary proceedings for violence by officers rose dramatically. and.
9:16 pm
i. believe that. 2 years ago the un human rights commission called for a probe into the possible use of excessive force by french police during the protests however the government rejected the accusations with president calling them unacceptable although the then prime minister eduardo felipe but did admit law enforcement had made mistakes in handling the rallies jerome rodriguez describes
9:17 pm
the lack of and. action from the authorities as being even worse than police brutality it was reputed to be you know when officials talk about you as mentally retarded on live television you also need to be able to deal with that that has lasted 2 years and of course there is no way i can fight back against that the pressure that these people the government the state put on me personally and on my family cost me much more harm than the police who gallops to my out. in national health service trust in southern england is facing backlash from many sides over new gender neutral language requirements while some think the pandemic is hardly the time for a huge politically correct overhaul even those it is meant to benefit such as trans groups are critical of the timing and tailor comments. do you think the national health service in a country in lockdown in the middle of

a you raging pandemic would have other things to do than go on a rampage of political correctness but no you'd be wrong in fact here's a list of the new lingo you need to brush up on. and i just trust has come up with a roadmap to increase of it and apparently this is just the start fast off so many revelations so tons out that all those people since the very beginning of time who thought they had breasts the word must this wrong man could easily have been doing the midnight chest feeding all these years out of the robot to be a row way ahead of his time but irony of ironies this trans friendly policy didn't
