5:02 pm
murders which he has denied has been no comment on the national republican army potential connection to the prime suspect. in the case daddy, a trap of her, she's a case of bringing an explosive hidden inside a statue to a public event where to kosky was speaking in saint petersburg on sunday. the palm bloss killed the permanent war correspondent on the spot trip over with detained. shortly after the incident, she admitted to bringing this, not you to the event say she was on the weather, was an explosive hidden inside. if found guilty of terrorism, she faces up to 20 years behind foss. me while some distressing stage has emerged on line, showing the immediate aftermath of sunday's cafe bowl. me a warning for you, the following images graphic could divide those on the i could pick 2 downside the cafe with many of them covered in blood as
5:03 pm
passes by try to assist those. he's been injured. the main suspect to dahlia trip of a was also spotted leaving the scene just moments after the last and some other footage films just before the dead leave long shows the suspect presenting petoskey with the statue and even being invited to sit next to him. it's not clear if she knew that the object had contained an explosive device, according to the late journalist's friends. darya trip over had been acquainted with the victim ortiz, donald quarter, breaks down how events unfolded on a sunday evening like any other russian war correspondent, blood lend to tar ski was hosting an event centered around war zone journalism. here at this cafe, it was opened admission. anyone could have attended. and starsky told his audience of his stories of war around 6 15 pm. his life came to a sudden end after an explosion reduced the cafes interior to rubble.
5:04 pm
mm. i believe he just took the suit usa to a terrorist attack has just happened yet. 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 tarkey. russia's 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 of a, someone who had been arrested before at anti government demonstrations,
5:05 pm
and had transferred money to an extremist organization called the anti corruption foundation. around 700 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 trip 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 trap of a admits to bringing an explosive statuette to tar ski's event. do you understand why you have been detained? i am detained for being at the scene of flatland 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
5:06 pm
a terrorist attack organized by key of with the help of agents from the 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 halves 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 key halves 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 journalist and on the dangling on se thing. ukraine's alleged involvement in the assassination of the russian reporter 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
5:07 pm
a case assassination. and so there's no reason to believe its claims to the contrary. in this case, present the u. s. at an idea of what's going on, especially after the geena assassination. 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 re 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 versus the invoice to the u. s. has condemned the global reaction to the murder of the prominent russian
5:08 pm
reporter as the keys, international journalist associations of demonstrating a selective bathroom. the parents is safe and payments the un secretary general's office express concern over flatland policies. kelly, with more details on the story on our website the former c e. o of the world's largest cement manufacturer, paris space that lafond has claimed that french intelligence infiltrated the phone 10 years ago and persuaded it to keep working inside territory held by islamic state in 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 full complicity and crimes against humanity. his was health, the firms ex chief, had to say in his latest interview to french media. we learned that there was
5:09 pm
a special relationship between the french states, its services and lafarge. one of the reasons the state took an interest in us was that the factory site 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 terrace groups are operating all around it, this particular french company was miraculously able to continue operating. essentially under the protection of the same terrace, the french air force had been bombing since 2014. and who the french state had labelled as savages. but as you can see from this map, the plants location meant that. 2 despite most of the staff being evacuated, its strategic importance remained. the french giants factory continued its operation. syria, despite extremist groups, taking over large,
5:10 pm
swayed the country until finally shutting down its factory in holiday aleppo in september 2014 been situational paddock site. paradoxical situation had a reason explained gummed us get caught on the one hand, the factory continued to operate by accommodating belligerents who had settled around it, including dice. at the same time, as the embassies had close and the french intelligence services were not present there at that time, french intelligence, lac informants. oh please, isn't it? of only the company is suspected of giving money to isis to keep one of its factories running. oh, read 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,
5:11 pm
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 crossed roadblocks, checkpoints set out 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, 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
5:12 pm
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 that in 2014 the french government and even the 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 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
5:13 pm
no mention of the gruel. b, involvement of the french secret services. but like i said, it's all about the money. and in the us, donald trump is on his way home to florida on a brief ad formal arrest at the new york course. he didn't know guilty to 34 charges of falsifying business records during the 2016 election and saw him become president. his attorney has brought the case against him. political prosecution. trump is the 1st form of us leader to face criminal charges. let's get the details now from the correspondence of the scene off. he's caleb moping. joining us from outside manhattan courthouse, k. look to see what else, how we learned about the arrangements of donald trump sofa. a good one. well, history was ne, near in new york city,
5:14 pm
at the manhattan criminal court. here at manhattan criminal court, we saw for the 1st time in american history, a former president was taken into court and a rank charged with crimes. now donald trump was hit with $34.00 felony charges, all of them for falsifying business records. now the prosecutors have come forward and said they believe donald trump, i falsified business records in order to cover up a crime. and this is related to a ledge. tosh. money being paid to horn a graphic film, star stormy daniels, as well as a door man and the magazine that she was employed by. that's the allegation that was made. now donald trump and his dame say this is purely election interference. this is about trying to prevent him from successfully winning the presidency in 2024. and donald trump's legal team called this a sad day. donald trump came to the court house and it was a special arrangement. the secret service arranged for donald trump to briefly go
5:15 pm
into the police custody appear before the judge enter. he is not guilty plea and then leave the court house and, and it was certainly not like any other criminal proceeding. we didn't have a situation where the former president had a mug shot i was not fingerprinted. he was brought into the building by secret service. they turned him over to the new york city police department. he then went through his rang meant apparently he did give the judge a piece of his mind and he then left the building. now i understand donald trump is now in route back to his estate at mara, largo in florida. he is leaving new york city is already left. ah, and at this point the crowds here are starting to diffuse and, and go down. now there's not as big of a number as there was here. 4 people have been leaving at the height of the day as the proceedings were going on. there were thousands and thousands of people here. there were police helicopters, there was an army of police guarding and protecting the building was quite as
5:16 pm
secure a scene. thousands of thousands of people turned out now drunk supporters that day . this is politically motivated. it's an attempt to silence them. and many from detractors seem to agree with that. however, they say it's necessary because they see donald trump is dangerous to the american system, a racist, and a fascist. so quite a mixture of different views heard outside the court house. today we will have to see how this proceeds. now a trial date was set for december, and donald trump is facing felony charges. so if convicted, he could do prison time. however, his events team says that this is a situation. these are crimes that are usually considered misdemeanors. they consider this to be a political move on the part of the district attorney of manhattan to gain credibility in the democratic party to be known as the guy who prosecuted trump also meddling and interfering with a potential or not a potential. but a presidential run of donald trump in 2024. so we still just had to see how this
5:17 pm
proceeds. but this was a historic day here in manhattan. never before has a former president been indicted in rank and donald trump went before the judge. the 1st former president to ever face criminal charges. hello many thanks to the details, se caleb warping speaking to us live from new york. thank you. now talk to host a multiple, a trump bit to return to the white house of the next year's election. is the main driving force behind the case against him? there are a lot of people on the democrat side who didn't want break to do this until the department of justice did their findings and george's grand jury waited 1st. but 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 was at the beginning of 2022.
5:18 pm
he stopped it, and then all of a sudden trump announces he's running his 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 bread, the district attorney ran on saying he was good to go after donald trump. so how more political could it get? 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. the un human rights council has it up. they dropped resolution
5:19 pm
introduced by asset by john, which states that, you know, actual coercive measures violates human rights. with 33 members voting in favor of a 13 against stands, mexico abstaining. western members of the counseling, killing the u. s. refuse to recognize the negative effects of such sanctions. a vote took place in geneva with members from the global south speaking out in favor of they sent option western european countries as well as the u. s. rejected it stating sanctions on not intended to ordinary people. they asked by johnny and every train representatives that unilateral measures they used as a whole, were for political pressure and to undermine economic progress. president de la la movement at its 18 summit in 2019 reiterated the movement subjection to all unilateral 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
5:20 pm
while is the charge of the united nations rules and principles of international law, unilateral sanctions are brutal and in, he meant by that of it in it. and they collectively punish and undermine a nation of social climate progress at all at mel hot for a former indian ambassador to armenia and georgia as these the sanctions imposed by one country influence others not related to s. if a dos sanctions have to be imposed for x, y, z and seasons, the sanctions must come from united nations approved by the international community . it makes absolutely no sense what i mean, neutral kind of to impose you really, truly sanctions on any country for what they want to be the reasons for. because the same shows apart from not being legal. they also have escalating effect on countries which have nothing to do with it. you know, what example it is a sanction imposed by america on russia. then be expecting the and i learned of
5:21 pm
a big countries also follow those sections. i'd, if they don't follow, then they also this being punished in the sense that the sanctions will also automatically apply to them. and they have resulted in a food supplies, you know, creating conditions of food security in all countries. so in go them for has all along followed a policy that we do not approve of electron sanctions imposed by one country or a set of countries on other countries. but you really don't think so. i'm not going to work. and these are not, not acceptable as much as you know, interventions by one country into the other countries with the intention of regime change out for other purposes. ah,
5:22 pm
amazing conflicting reports and nike investigations into long fears, no trained pipeline bombing, nato officials of a portly try my best to avoid even talking about the sabotage which was blamed on the west spy pulitzer prize winning journalist, seymour hersh, and gather range of european and nature polish america's officials have settled into a rhythm set once you ran european diplomats don't talk about no stream. let us so little benefit from dig into g plan. find in an uncomfortable on said the diplomat sat echoing sentimental and several peers 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 the old brad pitt movie fight club . the 1st rule of nor 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,
5:23 pm
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 nor streaming explosions before. then being returned all politely, nicely, to the danish island of christiane. so where it was handed back to its owners is all absolutely nonsense. apparently, some other unnamed western officials are now telling the post that the yacht was likely not the only bo used, and may have even been a decoy to distract from the real killers,
5:24 pm
the real perpetrators. so hey, maybe aqua man did it, or aliens, or sub aquatic aliens, all these different versions effectively, just muddy the waters. and guess what else would be really convenient? and he suggested that washington was involved, as outlined in seymour hersh is initial and very detailed reporting. and the big beneficiary of selling ellen, g to europe, to replace gas from russia is of course the u. s. and by the way, allergy prices are so high now that european energy regulators have just launched a benchmark price in an attempt to attain them. in the meantime, nord streams, germany, shareholders want to preserve the pipelines despite the damage. so german insurers alliance and munich re have just renewed their cover is a sign of hope that the infrastructure isn't yet totally dead and buried.
5:25 pm
particularly if relations with russia improving the future. but some folks probably would not be too happy about that in g. i wonder who that might be if on, if russia invades manner, there will be a we, there will be no longer on our stream to we, we will bring it and i am. and i think the administration is very gratified to know that lord stream too is now as you like to say, a hunk of metal at the bottom of the see these pipelines that is more streamlined towards from to we're not pumping gas into europe that offers tremendous strategic opportunity for, for the years to come, not to many ukrainians or poles in that particular mash up. just a bunch of people who, who's obsession with ending nord stream has been conveniently forgotten. and all of these new scenarios being publicly peddled. india has successfully
5:26 pm
completed the autonomous landing of its fust. it re usable ra kids. thus, according to the nations space research organization launch took place. it's an airfield. net right. do ga south india and it's video. you can see the rock, it being lifted to an altitude of point 5 kilometers by an indian air force helicopter. the craft was subsequently released to make a high speed landing on its own. several in the military and civilian agencies collaborated on the project and the optimistic on its success. we heard from the former director of india is a satellite center, a dr. mail swami on a dry, who thinks inquiry space cooperation between the briggs countries will benefit the whole of humanity. but definitely india and russia flew into major role today in the us. and system manager systems point of view. definitely the initial seats that came from that. so that way i think india,
5:27 pm
unless the international cooperation phase corporation to some of the show change in the companies into that. so that in some form, it's already in the base, but no one from probably beyond that. also, definitely better than just the possibility or we can look to the extended exploration. so point of view stuff, every country, spending the money and they are definitely going to where they're going to go. that will make things better. hon. reminder to also been doing this prospect mcdonald's of apple, 2 of americans, most prominent companies are expected to begin lay offs and shut down locations across america. the wall street journal is reported that the us businesses are responding to slow downs and concealed spending. so have these companies business
5:28 pm
more than they can chew and how is the us economy going to digest this all? my colleague peter scott, they've been to the topic with our chief economic observer professor kind alexander say, folks. so we have to do some detective work here. let us link these information to the fits the fishing on interest rate hikes during the last session in march with march, the chairman of the fit actually said there still a tight labor market. and that's why he went for another interest rate hike, the announcements of all to epa in particular, you know, and the closest on the retail development session session. so maybe they will actually also the close on the retail shops, which might indicate that there are problems in the u. s. u. s. a commercial property market, you know, and this is a very weak point in the us economy. if there's
5:29 pm
a problem in the commercial property section that might be problems for the lender, which might lead us to a banking crisis. there's also a link between a bank in crisis and the real economy. in fact, the institute of the german economy, that just published a new model, which shows that if you have a banking crisis, then there are transmission channels which lead to a problem in the real economy. and then patricia transmission channels, problems with consumption and investment. so this institute forecast, if there's a banking crisis, there will be 0.8 percent decrease in g d, p in the us and 2024. which means that the 5th hope to get a soft blending might be unfortunate. so these 2 companies, as we said before, are you know, i conic american companies. why do you think that funding so difficult to be more straightforward and just say they're experienced in difficult economic times of the
5:30 pm
moment for apple is not very forthcoming with respect to the information about lay off because maybe they feel that this is not really welcomed by the market, financial markets, so they feel that it's like a bomb sharp basically that and it might have a negative impact on the stock market price. you see the one thing this.
