4:04 pm
ah, really, he just hookers the suit you for to a terrorist attack. has just happened while vlad lend to tar ski was speaking. there was an explosion in the bar. it seems that our speaker got up. according to eye witnesses, the explosion came from a small statue that a woman brought to the event a gift, apparently intended for to tar ski rushes investigative committee said it was looking into this incident as a murder and the police were on a man hunt to find the woman in question, media reports began to suggest that the main suspect in the case was a woman by the name of daria trap, up some one who had been arrested before at anti government demonstrations,
4:05 pm
and had transferred money to an extremist organization called the anti corruption foundation around $700.00 police officers were deployed across the city in search of trap of the police showed up at her door with automatic weapons and even rated the residence of her mother and sister. for the time being though she was nowhere to be found. the next day, the authorities found daria trap of a at a 4 rent apartment where the russian investigative committee later confirmed her detention. not long after that, the interior ministry released a video confession, in which daria trip of a admits to bringing an explosive statuette to tar ski's event. do you understand why you have been detained? i am detained, full being at the scene of lapland petoskey, killing. what have you done? i pause sachi that exploded us. well, who gave it to you? can i tell you later, rushes anti terrorism committee has determined that this was a terrorist attack organized by key of with the help of agents from the
4:06 pm
aforementioned extremist organization. the anti corruption foundation here for its part has denied any involvement in this attack. as it did a year ago, when there was overwhelming evidence to suggest that key of agents had killed another high profile russian journalist. daria do gonna, with these civilian assassinations piling up and the west, turning a blind eye to kias roland them. it looks like the people who risked their lives to show the world. the truth are going to have to sleep with one eye open until this conflict is over. donald quarter r t st. petersburg, which i listened with, i daniela's all say, the ukraine's alleged involvements in the assassination of the russian recruiter is difficult to deny ukrainian governance, the claims of denials, involvement, cannot be taken face value. the cleaning government lied about the involvement in the area to gain a case assassination. and so there's no reason to believe its claims to the
4:07 pm
contrary. in this case, present the u. s. at an idea of what's going on, especially after the, to gain us estimation. certainly, it's a good chance that the ukraine has agents, you know, operating quite widely, engagement, all kinds of highly provocative, highly dangerous activities. and the usaa probably has an idea of what's going on, but is probably giving them some kind of license to kill the u. s. should have known better after the real case. it should have kept closer tabs on the the s b, u, trend intelligence. and either it was incompetent and derelict and to not keep closer tabs. or it has a fair idea of what's going on. and i suspect the latter russians invoice the un has condemned the absence of a global reaction to the murder of the prominent russian reporter and accused
4:08 pm
international journalist associations of demonstrating that certain selective dependency statement came as the un secretary general's office express confirm with the more details of the story on our website and over to the us, where donald trump is on his way home, after a brief and formal arrest, a new york court, he pleaded not guilty to $34.00 charges of falsifying business records during the 2016 election. the saw him become president, his attorney has brought the case against him. political prosecution. trump is the 1st former leader to form a u. s. leader to face charges. he's caleb hoping, joins us from outside the manhattan courthouse. now caleb, get to see you. so what else have we learned about the arraignment of donald trump sofa with?
4:09 pm
well, we're here in front of 100 center street. the criminal court building here in manhattan . and from what we understand, donald trump has laughed, and he's on his way to a plane back to mara, largo in florida. but he came in to the court house and he went before the judge and he entered a plea of not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records. that is what the district attorney of manhattan and the grand jury have formally charged him with. they have 34 instances of which they allege that he falsified business records. now, there was clarified by the manhattan district attorney that they believe that there were 3 different payments that were covered up one was a payment to a magazine. the other was a payment to a door man and the final one was to the pornographic film star stormy daniels. they allege that on $34.00 instances, donald trump covered those up,
4:10 pm
falsified business records. now donald trump and his attorneys have called this a sad day and said this is nothing but election interference. this is an attempt to prevent donald trump from running for office. and to basically tarnishes campaign, prevent him from winning the presidency in 2024. as he has already announced his intention to run, and in the republican party, many of even his harshest critics and opponents in the republican primary of said they believe that is exactly correct. this is a case of politicization of the usaa justice wing, and this case there was a lot of protesters here earlier. tens of thousands of people were protesting. both supporters of don drum and opponents of donald trump were out. marjorie taylor green, a member of congress who was outspoken trumps to border as well as your santos and other member of congress who is a supporter of donald trump. both made an appearance today among the protesters
4:11 pm
outside the court house. we also saw opponents of donald trump and it was quite a scene, lots of media from all over the world. now we understand the way donald trump was around was quite different than the way other people that are charged with crimes were rank special arrangements were made in the u. s. secret service that protects warmer president and the new york city police department. there was an arrangement made for donald trump to enter the building from a special back entrance. he was put into the causative young y v d. he was taken then before the court. he entered is not guilty plea. we understand . he lashed out at the judge, gave the judge a bit of a piece of his mind, expressing frustration with these charges he entered is not guilty plea, and then he did leave the building. now, donald trump appears, is headed to florida to his stated mar, largo he continues to maintain, this is nothing but a legal charade. and simply an effort to tarnish his reputation. the crowd just starting to clear out in the police are starting to clear out the barricades.
4:12 pm
they're still quite a crowd here. the police helicopters were flying above and it was a chance seen an army of police protected the building. and many, many people came out of the building. as soon as donald trump lab, they were prevented for leaving the building until the former president had laughed as well. so the details of the case are now apparent. we understand the charges are falsifying business records. donald trump has entered a not guilty plea and illegal case will proceed. there are critics calling this a publicity stunt by the district attorney of manhattan, an attempt to go on record and gain the credibility among democrats as the man who prosecuted drum. but others are saying this is going to help donald trump. this is putting him once again, back in the headlines. this is pointing him out to be a victim of the establishment that is so hated among his bass. so people wonder if donald trump maybe the beneficiary of this move, he was once again the center of attention. once again the spotlight. and once again,
4:13 pm
all other candidates in the republican primary were scrambling to keep up with them . donald trump walked out of the court room. you did not apparently look defeated when he walked out. he did, he did seem to be holding his head high. and this is a moment where we're going to have to see how this plays out. is this case? does end up going to trial? indeed many thanks to keep us updated today. caleb more just live from new york. thank you. let's, let's discuss this further. now let's go to the most basic tv and radio talk show host ties. see many thanks for joining our program. this evening so, so today trumpets become the 1st form of president in us history to face. 2 criminal charges my correspondent that to say this could be a good thing for donald trump. trump, what's your take on the case? well, i think it's purely political and this is a d, a we have to understand in manhattan, in new york city, who has a history in his short term as, as the da taking felonies for real crimes and making them misdemeanors. now what
4:14 pm
he's doing is he's taking a misdemeanor and turn them into felonies, $34.00 felonies to be to be precise. so i think it said obvious that it's political in nature. and if only this were it for donald trump, this, if this were a stand alone incident, i believe it would help him. i think it is helping him. he's raised reportedly $7000000.00 since he had an indictment by the grand jury was announced about a week or so ago. so yes, this would help him in the short term. however, there are 2 other problems for him. one is the special prosecutor pointed by the department of justice looking into did he incite january 6th, the attack on the capital? and what did he do with the documents? the, the, the classified documents. there have been some reports lately that the, the justice department, the special prosecutor has some new evidence that donald trump may have looked at
4:15 pm
some documents after he was there they were subpoenaed to come over. so that's a big problem for him. as is the case going on in georgia, where a grand jury is meeting and you know, the famous phone call, where we've all heard it, where he was on the phone with the secretary of state right after the election and asking him to find the votes to change the outcome. now, in my opinion, he didn't tell him to create votes. he said, find the votes. so that, that, so these are 2 big problems that still are out there for trump. so this is not the end of it. but if i make, could i could, i could i quote just a 1st of all, something else. the prosecution today of all, reportedly they want this trial to start in january of next year. that's when the primaries for the republican presidential nomination start. so that, that's crazy also, you know, when the next court date is the next court date,
4:16 pm
according to box, is december 4th, december. so nothing, i mean they'll be motions to dismiss and change of venue and all kinds of motions. but the next court date scheduled is all the way in december. so you know that that's not expediting this process. and one other thing if i made there was a c n n poll, and i don't have any use for c n n. your way to the left, but the c n. n poll showed 60 percent of americans supported the indictment. ok. 60 percent yet only 37 percent in that same poll. thought that trump did something illegal and 76 percent thought that the whole thing was political. so how could they support the indictment if they don't think he did something illegal and they know it was political. so this is a crazy, crazy case. let's say exactly what i wanted to ask you is that the timing of this case? because there are some people thinking that this is about throwing as much as they kind of donald trump, hoping that something stakes to make sure it doesn't happen at
4:17 pm
a chance for the presidency. would you agree? yeah, well i, i couldn't agree more. i mean, again, there are a lot of people on the democrat side who didn't want brag to do this until the department of justice did their findings. and george's grand jury waited 1st. but yes, this is, you know, they did. this was looked at by federal prosecutors when it happened, and they decided not to go after donald trump for violating election laws or anything else and brag when he came into office. there was an ongoing investigation into trump. this is the beginning of 2022. he stopped it, and 2 people to top, prosecutors from his office quit because they were angry. and then all of a sudden trump announces he's running, he's way ahead in the polls over any possible competitor on the republican side. and boom, it's the investigations on again. so, i mean, it's so obvious that it's political, he ran the, the brag,
4:18 pm
the district attorney ran on saying he was good to go after donald trump. so how more political could it get pretty sizable that crowds outside the court house in manhattan state, both supporters and opponents of donald trump and rallying outside the courthouse, some scuffles they were pushed as well. do you think that these protests could escalate to think? i mean, well remember what happened at capitol hill in 2021. don't. don't we? do you think this could be, you know, the stepping stone to something bigger? well, i hope not because there's no place for violence in anybody who breaks the law on either side. it should be should be held accountable, the prosecutor. unfortunately, it's not always working that way right now around here. having said that, i think the fact that this is, you know, going away so to speak as far as a court appearance, the next court appearances, like i said at the end of the year. so it's not like that coming back in a month or next week or whatever. i think, you know,
4:19 pm
trump is good to talk about it because there was no gag order may overstepped his bounds in there might be a gag order, but no, i don't. i don't think there's any threat of violence right now. i mean, i'd be surprised. i can account for people on either side who are out of their minds in my god forbid, do something, but i don't think we're going to see this bill. bill bill bill from here, i think it will cool off a little bit now that trump's going back to florida by the way, trump's going to speak later tonight at time. so be interesting to hear what he had to say. some people expected him to say something on his way out of the court room, but he did not hear. and how do you think this will affect trump campaign for the presidency? i think it's something that he's going to be able to stand there and say, i'm a victim, but they keep trying. first it was russia gay, russia, russia, russia. then it was the one impeachment, then the 2nd impeachment and the dot c a with hillary in the whole thing. it's like they don't stop now that's what that, that's what he'll claim. and he will gain
4:20 pm
a lot of support from a lot of people. again though, it, when you have a public that is glad 60 percent is glad that he got indicted, but only 37 percent. think he did anything illegal. the kind of scratch your head and say, is the overall american public tired of all this. and again, this is no small thing. georgia and the special counsel, big time problems living as controversial is he has trump is still by far the leading candidate from the republican party according to the polls anyways. what do you think he's so popular? because he did such great things as president and he was treated like garbage by the media. i mean they've called the every single name in the book from hitler on down on up you name it. and of course the to impeachment. there's still a lot of people who don't, you know, who question the, the sanctity of the election against joe biden, in 2020, in 2020. and so there,
4:21 pm
you know, that he has a very strong core base, especially when it comes to the republican party. and, you know, you would get a diet indictments aside. i, he would be very, very hard to be in the republican primary. i'm not so sure about the general the general election. but, you know, run de santis who had a tremendous victory in florida in his reelection last november. huge bit 3 historic. he's 4050 points behind trump. he has an announced, but in a mock match up, he's way behind. so this is helping trump right now. again, what lies ahead for him as far as legal problems? i don't know. what will be the interesting one to watch as it unfolds? no, be interesting to hear what he has to say later as well. thanks for joining us on the program. steve miles. good tv and radio. talk show host many. thanks for your time. my pleasure. before my theo of the world's largest,
4:22 pm
the men's manufacture power space lafond has claimed that french intelligence infiltrated the 1st 10 years ago and persuade that to keep working inside territory held by islamic state and syria. last year, the french company pleaded guilty and was fined in the us, the paying terrorists almost $6000000.00 in exchange for keeping its factory in syria up and running during the war. the paris is currently investigating lafond will complicity and crimes against humanity. hey, what else? the thumbs ex chief, had to say in his latest interview to french media. we learned that there was a special relationship between the french state, its services and la forge. one of the reasons the state took an interest in us was that the factory side was a strategic location for the anti terrorist coalition. and for france, this is why i believe that the authorities encouraged us, at least to maintain our activities in syria. so let's get this straight. while some of the world's most brutal terrorist groups are operating all around is this
4:23 pm
particular french company was miraculously able to continue operating. essentially under the protection of the same terrorists. the french air force had been bombing since 2014. and who the french stay had labeled a savages. but as you can see from this map, the plants location meant that despite most of the stuff being evacuated, it's strategic importance remained. the french giant factory continued its operation in syria despite extremist groups taking over large waves of the country until finally shutting down its factory in hollow level in september 2014 insidious young paddock said paradox. echo situation had a reason explained gayona's capital. on the one hand, the factory continued to operate by accommodating belligerents who had settled around it include in dice. at the same time as the embassies had closed and the french intelligence services were not present there. at that time,
4:24 pm
french indulgence lacked informants. he decided on the day the company is suspected of giving money to isis to keep one of its factories running. oh, only of the french who worked for lafarge were an important source of information. of course, everything has a cost and avoiding the medieval brutality of the islamic state doesn't come for free. so how exactly does a european multinational manage to sit pretty in the middle of the most brutal wars and decades? well, as usual, it's all about the money. it was our partner in syria, it was through him that amounts were paid to ensure the safe transport of our employees and materials to pass through. we discovered that he also works for the french intelligence for renumeration. he explained that he collected intelligence through his contacts. each time he cross roadblocks, checkpoints set up by armed groups on the roads. it appears that the state was perfectly aware to pass road blocks you had to pay. hence my question,
4:25 pm
how was the money that lafarge paid him used? what pockets did they fly into? the court never answered that question. so the grimy nexus between french corporate interests and their intelligence community is essentially laid bare. the hypocrisy is hard to ignore. and for many victims of the islamic state, it's hard to stomach with lafarge, a security chief revealing in great detail how he himself had gathered information and passed it directly to french intelligence. as soon as i had the information about these people, i would pass it on to the services i was sending them ron formation. i did not filter the information. i was passing it to intelligence services. i told them everything. remarkably, these emails also revealed, done in 2014, the french government. i'd even for united states not to bomb the farm plant, close to the ice, a stronghold in rocca lobbying the americans to ensure the plant was put on what
4:26 pm
was chilly you referred to as the appropriate list. this french investments should be protected. this is to confirm that the site mentioned by your interlocutor was mentioned by our military to the u. s. colleagues and is now registered on the appropriate list. unfortunately, the grim reality is that the cache paid to isis during this period of bizarre collaboration could have potentially funded the massacres of innocent french civilians in paris. another conveniently ignored truth, is that why willing to levy a $778000000.00 fine on the french company. the u. s. department of justice makes no mention of the gruel be involvement of the french secret services. but like i said, it's all about the money the un human wines council has adopted a draft resolution introduced by answered by john, which states that unilateral coercive measures violate human rights. with 33 members voting in favor of its 13 against and mexico abstaining. western members of
4:27 pm
the council, including the u. s. refused to recognize the negative effects of such sanctions. those took place in geneva with members from the global south speaking out in favor of its adoption, with european countries as well as the us rejected it. saving sanctions are not intended to hum ordinary people. they also find johnny and retrain. representative said, unilateral measures are used as a tool for political pressure and to undermine economic progress. the lol i'm movement at it's 18 summit in 2019, reiterated the movements objection to all your lateral course of measures, including those measures used as tools for political or economic and financial met, pressure against any country in particular against developing countries which while is the charts of the united nations rules and principles of international law, your level of function with a brutal and in he meant by that of the nation. and they collectively punish and
4:28 pm
undermine and mission of socio economic progress. analogy has university professor told us that you are paying states of a double standard towards acceptable standard approach towards sanctions on my own . my husband says a physician, this is the result of one size view of a way of enforcing extension. there are so many numbers to do to sanction engineer share function when you think it will give a that. and we have seen that in so many gets all of the work. and if i take the example from my own view, as of yet, we know lotion and sanction embossed by the humanized by different bodies word. why you money thumbs. now use a do it for manipulation and for a whole different companies. and therefore, i think what happened today within the united nation and you're not going to ease
4:29 pm
a british in your view, the concept then the whole understanding your mondays are not going to work. although the concept is unique, but it has not come since i am a conflicting reports and marty investigations into last year nodes dream pipeline bombing. nato officials reportedly trying that best to avoid even talking about the sabotage, which was blamed on the west by pulitzer prize winning journalist seymour hersh. and gather range of european and made to polish to make his officials have settled into a rhythm. said once you ren european, diplomats don't talk about an old stream. let us so little benefit from dig in to g plan. find in an uncomfortable on said the diplomat sat echo and send to mentioned several pairs in all the countries who said they would rather not have to deal with the possibility that ukraine or allies were involved. this kind of reminds me of that famous line from that old brad pitt movie fight club. the 1st rule of nor
4:30 pm
extreme sabotage club is you don't talk about nord stream sabotage club. and well, as they say, ignorance is bliss, right? not having to quote deal with the possibility that ukraine or allies were involved, means that no one has to call into question this western unity narrative because an ally, me of blown something up that belong to a so called friend. apparently, there are now even more new narratives or fairytales circulating about what may have happened to the pipelines. the new version for the washington post. is that the yacht, the andromeda, which was previously said by the german press, citing unnamed german officials to have been rented from a polish company, owned by a couple of ukrainians and set sail for report in rostock germy 20 days before the north streaming explosions before then being returned all politely, nicely to the danish island of christiane.
