2:00 pm
the, the, the, the white house slums to the us house, coal fund, impeachment inquiries, the president biden, as of alleged corruption involving his family's business. even. also this offices, you and boy accuses washington of watching the desire to end the war and ukraine. because american businesses, i'm making a killing through lucrative on deals tons and you moved to look for relationship is being born m o delta is not based on the western template. it's a system that force can reach the leads. they chosen, the land. that's all humanity,
2:01 pm
all of the functioning and developing multiple world doesn't present, raises the trend of a more countries choosing that cover an interest over the western model. that was in the speech at the 8 eastern economic for the you're watching, got international monies, pizza scouts and wherever you're joining us from. welcome to 30 minutes of news. and the novices that's on top story. this all the wife's house has branded a us house coal for an impeachment to inquire into president barton, quote, extreme politics, but it's worth myself to the republican house speaker, kevin mcafee, only accuse biden of abuse of power obstruction and corruption. the opening in peach minutes, despite the 0 evidence of wrong doing by president biden, is simply red meat for the extreme right wing. so they can keep based loosely attacking him. house republicans have been investigating the president for 9 months
2:02 pm
and they've turned up no evidence of wrong doing kevin mccarthy's own g o. p members have set. so he vowed to hold the votes to open impeachment, but now he flip flopped because he doesn't have support extreme politics at its worst. what's plus, there's dogs, i'm now joined to live by our correspondence. rachel blevins. rachel grates. have you with us. i'm can you tell us what exactly these allegations are against present by them, please? well, how speaker kevin mccarthy has officially given the green light for an impeachment inquiry and the president joe biden, calling it the logical next steps. and the months long republican lead investigation into the conduct of biden, his son hunter, therefore, in business dealings during his time as the vice president and his attempts to cover it all up in the white house. let's take a listen to what mccarthy had to say. house republicans have uncovered serious, incredible allegations and to president biden's conduct taken together.
2:03 pm
these allegations paint a picture of a culture of corruption. now here's what we know so far. through our investigations, we have found the president biden did lie to american people about his own knowledge of his family's flooring business dealings. mcarthee said that the multiple committees in the household are investigating the president have found evidence of abuse of power obstruction and corruption. while by that has tried to separate himself from hunters foreign business dealings, mccarthy noticed that i witnessed that have testified that the president was actually very involved. and it's abiding family profit in heavily from the all. with bank records, showing nearly $20000000.00 in payments were directed to biden family members and associates through various show companies. so what could this impeachment inquiry into bottom potentially result in rachel?
2:04 pm
well, under the us constitution, congress has the power to impeach federal officials for treason, bribery, and other high crimes and misdemeanors. a president can be removed from office if the house approves articles of impeachment by a simple majority and in the senate must boot by a 2 thirds majority to convict after holding a trial. so even if fighting is in peace by the republican lighthouse, it would take a movement of democrats against him in the senate to get him removed from office altogether. and how does this all compact through the prosecution of the previous us present donald trump? well, trump was impeached by the house twice, but never convicted by this on it as boots largely fallen long party lines. many have suggested that the cases against trump were politically motivated. and that now includes a russian president, food. let's take a listen to what he had to say earlier, or the mass as for the persecution of trump. what's happening today is good news
2:05 pm
because it shows the rottenness of the american political system, which can not pretend to seem to democracy, to all others. what's happening was trump, is the persecution of a political competitor for political reasons. they just exposed their internal problems if they try to fight with us somehow, this shows who's fights and with us. and it shows the least deal of periods of american imperialism. and she says, as a sure, if the democrats have been quick to claim the republicans aren't justified, the republicans are usually they have much more evidence was fine. and then a democrats ever had with trump. so we'll be watching this one closely as republicans in the us house officially move forward with an impeachment inquiry and the present and find it. we certainly will be watching a close and we'll hope you'll keep us updated on any developments that's off the correspondence. rachel buttons, thanks very much. thank you. well, i'm also going to live now bite folks. so host steve, most like steve,
2:06 pm
i regulated c. thanks for joining us. my pleasure. so the, the house, the, kept my coffee is fully cold fund impeachment inquiry. um, well the chances that this will be simple if somebody get the votes for you and then we'll have to go through congress as well for the, for the, for the inquiry usually traditionally, it's done by a vote, a floor vote. as kevin mccarthy has said, he would take a floor vote, meaning the whole congress votes to go ahead with the impeachment proceedings, but she doesn't have the votes. not only would every democrat, both know many republicans would vote no, and the republicans only have a slim majority. so he could only afford to have 5 republicans both know. and right now it looks like there's more than 5 republicans that would say no. a lot of people also believe that kevin mccarthy said what he said today and is doing what he's doing to save the speakership of because a lot of right wing conservatives in the house of representatives want this
2:07 pm
impeachment to go forward. and they threatened to try to take away his speakership again. he has a very slim margin by boat margin, so he could lose his speakership, if he doesn't capitulate to certain factions. now, that's not to say, i don't think this is a legitimate investigation. we keep hearing all there is no evidence, no evidence, no evidence. baloney. there's plenty of evidence that these committees have come up with. and i think the american public through these, this inquiry will be educated to what actually exists in the form of evidence. so is this more political upholstering, do you think, steve, you mentioned pressure reports, are they coming from the more right? leading republicans by him to the call for this impeachment. then there's also the you'll need to of those 2 um, just to kill. it's kind of a government funded in september as well as also coming in. so this yes is a budget the show down that's moving at the end of this month and a lot of people on the left are saying this is just a diversion. uh,
2:08 pm
so thats mcarthee uh you know, won't have to deal with it and he can just acquiesce and give the democrats what they want because the attention will be focused on peach meant. so a lot of a lot about conservative republicans are worried about that. the once we don't want this impeachment, they want to concentrate on the budget and not giving into the, to the bottom and ministration on the funding. but peak man is always political. they say there's no evidence they, they and peach donald trump, one of the 2 times for a phone call that he made. so this is always political. the difference between the democrats and the republicans traditionally and today is that the democrats are united. they work as a group, the republicans are all over the place, which might be good for democracy. but it's a hell of a job for a speaker to try and make everybody happy. me. indeed, i guess you weren't surprised by the democrats response of the white house spokesman focused on investigations. go to take stream politics as well as instead
2:09 pm
of it. so i bought has been under investigation for 9 months. and as you mentioned before, no evidence has been told, well yeah, right, good. and of course there is evidence when, when his family member, when his children and grandchildren have llc, instead of receiving money from foreign countries. some of them adversarial countries for no worries. and they don't go anywhere, they don't have companies, they don't do anything. what is going on? if this was donald trump in his family, all he would have been and pinched by now at all. hell would have broken loose, but they protect joe biden, at all costs. we'll have to wait and see how it plays out in the coming days and weeks at so. so how is this the most of it, thanks very much. talk us through the, the ins and outs of american politics today. thank you. will states escaping the western business model, which only benefits a few in favor of the own suffering interest? but that's the message from the russian president during his speech or the 8th economic eastern economic for which is
2:10 pm
very important, that the space for genuine business corporation is expanding in the world with the number of states that no longer submit to external pressure and pursue their own national interest 1st is growing in different regions of the world in essence, and you moved to look for relationship as being or in m o that is not based on the western template. it's a system that voice can reach the leads they chosen, billy and that's all humanity, all of the functioning and developing multi polar world where you present of truth and the great eloquent speaker when when he speaks the world listens right now. and one of the key areas he did discuss atlanta and elaborate on was china and how the west is trying to suppress china, as it has tried to do with russia economically, that there's an increasing, encroaching at moving the west to diminish china is regionally influence of power just the, the greatest manufacturing economy on earth that the west is nervous about. and it's really interesting to listen to how
2:11 pm
a president fruits actually described those attempts from the west. but i see it just as in the past, the west has tried to contain russia, the movements it became stronger became a real jew political competitor. today, it is trying to restrain the development of china because it sees that china under the leadership of fiji, being our friend, is gaining momentum and developing and 7 mile steps. this has left them in shock, and they're doing everything to slow down the development of china. but they're too late to the party. they won't be able to slow trying that down, that train it has left for. i'm going to assume that africa also came up in the conversation as well. what do they have to say about that? yeah, well you've just returned from south africa from the break so that you know where we saw this burgeoning energy to do business a different way. i'm present improvement mentioned that he talked about a post colonial as a tale that drag behind i forget the unfair way that the west,
2:12 pm
those business there on the rush, it would like to do business as the p or the relationship of equal side of the master and servant that colonial postcolonial a year at. assume you don't know. recently when the russian africa summit was how the was once again surprised by the openness of africans and their desire to work with us. julian, and it's not just because we did something for africa, helping local people gain their freedom and independence and to fight against colonialism because the main thing is that we have never been colonizers anywhere. our corporation has always been based on an equal basis or on our desire to help, in contrast to those countries, those are now trying to compete with us pursued a completely different policy. i was recently shows photos of how people in cages were brought from africa to european countries only back in 1957. it's impossible to look at these photos without tears. the children were seats and pages and they were put on display. and when people compare what happened in the old days with the gall peroration between the former ussr and other countries. of course,
2:13 pm
this comparison is the in our favor you know, the use of the latest un security council meeting. the reference envoy has accused washington of fueling the ukraine conflicts and refusing to ended, and that's due to the big box american olives makers are reaching in from the war source. the new car cool is that washington has no desire to end this war, which also allows the americans to get considerably more rich. we have already spoken at previous meetings about the huge profits of western corporations. and the fact that a significant share of the funds allocated to ukraine doesn't even leave the territory of the us and other western sponsors of the key of regime. let's get more details from our correspondents in new york tab muffin. caleb, can you please tell us what else the russian invoice touched upon and these address? sure, russian and basking are the bands you talked about, cluster munitions,
2:14 pm
so the danger that they pose to civilian populations, he also discussed the corruption and the flow of weapons from the united states and the line countries and the billions of dollars and how it is being utilized to prolong the conflict and see the coffers of a corrupt bureaucracy. now the united states and the united kingdom didn't really respect the meaning at all. they said they considered the meaning to be a far as simply because it was called by russia. and they didn't really add very much to the conversation. now brazil emphasized in the flow of arms does not help any one. they urge parties to abide by international law and not damage us to billions of. ready infrastructure and to make sure that the locals were protected. we heard from shy i'm trying to emphasize that the international community wants a ceasefire and that they want. ready that they emphasize that the large amount of arms flowing into ukraine is escalating the hostilities and that the un security
2:15 pm
council should use its wisdom and experience to work toward resolving the conflict . now why the points that was raised to begin with n z is remarks out was the fact that. ringback point t o doesn't plan to investigate. the reason strikes, it took place at a marketplace and in grain and just killed 16 people now that, that's right was immediately lamed on russia. but now that the facts are rolling in, it appears the key out is not going to launch an investigation tag. a lot too much. that is, why do we need an investigation? if everything is obvious to us, if a mazda 6000 rockets have been launched, and we have to confirm every fragment, because someone came out and said that you crane is attacking itself. everything is obvious to us. just this is, it is good for the zalinski regime following in already establish scheme committed
2:16 pm
a bloody provocation. iraq that attack on a markets in the city of constantine of car, which ukraine immediately tried to blame on rush out. but the facts recorded by cameras and least online have disrupted the calculations of the proper caters and t of the video clearly shows that the missile arrived from areas under the control of the ukrainian armed forces. as a result, we're now seeing how the key of regime and sponsors are trying to hush up the story and not draw too much attention to it. now, 16 people died when the rocket struck the marketplace. thousands of others were injured. and immediately the media blamed the attack on russia. however, as that began to service and information began to come to light, even some of the most ardent supporters of the government in kiev started to not by
2:17 pm
the story that russia was. ready sponsible, it became very clear that the rocket had been launched from a ukrainian position. this is what was said in the aftermath by some of the harshest critics of russia. admitting that the story doesn't add up here is what was that? judging from where people luke's q and the sound from before the impact and the likely reflection of the income and projectile on the car. the rock at the head constance enough call came from the northwest. hope it is possible to state that fact without being called names. so this led to the pro, your brain voices scrambling to rework their narrative, saying that, well, the rocket strike wouldn't have happened if the war wasn't taking place. so somehow it's still rushed as vault, even though russia clearly didn't launch the missile. ah, so we have, once again, a case of western this information demonizing,
2:18 pm
russia of being the box for talking us through that address of the un security council versus that representative that thank you. well, let's discuss this even more with a senior research fellow as the global policy institute, georgia somewhere they georgia. very good. even see thanks for joining those se. nope. we know that you also invited to speak during the latest un security council session. what can you tell us about the, how does it go? well, it is pretty much as you would have expected. um, the need to block country is an absolute unison. they make all the same arguments that make the same talking points. and they don't, you know, they, they don't miss a beat. uh and, um, so other than that, i'm there all of the others, but it talk much more in terms of, uh, well, we need to bring peace. so we need to,
2:19 pm
you, you know, have set, set in motion some piece process um, but russia is a fine large, uh, isolated so, um, either the way it really works is the, the, uh, the, those um representatives. um, uh, you know, once you've listened to other ones that uh, don't follow the nato line. um, however, you know, they, they, you know, they, they still distance themselves from russia. so, so do you believe that these sorts of addresses you by experts, do you think they have such a mobile limited implants, in that case? well, i have some impacts. i'm, i, i, you know, in terms of, for us as the um, the delegates who spoke by a large, i'm a, i'm a majority of slim majority, at least the acknowledged what my headset is that they took note of my perspective
2:20 pm
. they took note of my was now the nato, a member of the members and the allies, such as a japan, they absolutely ignore them. it was, but it's as if i didn't think this, they didn't, they didn't pay any attention to what i said. so i think they have a so that's an impact because i think the, i mean those who said that they thank me for my presentation. i mean, at least they listen and you know what, what hopes that they learn something, what, what i certainly don't experience. that's a, that's everyone has adjusting to un security council. i'm show you one of the, a very small number of people george. now moving on to this, so this a, this, the attack on the, the, the done best if you have constant need seen of ukraine has refused to investigate . it's, it's blaine most go, most goes blamed ukraine. there was some questions about this. suppose the evidence with the, the rock, if appearing this so called reflection,
2:21 pm
the rock is appearing after the explosion itself. so we don't really know where it's coming from. what's your take on this whole situation as well? i think it's very early uh, to judge um, however, yeah, as with all of these uh cases there was an immediate rush to judgment and the media with the media. the settle on the story. and the story is always that the russians are responsible for ukrainians. it was couldn't possibly have done anything like this, and that's set in stone and then the later on uh more and more fact so much that that's not what happened. that's a complete distortion of the actual source of events. they very rarely make it into the mainstream media that just it just vanish. so, um, what you know, the narrative is said and the media around with it. if for any reason the, you know the effect so much that call it the question. they just ignore the fact.
2:22 pm
so maybe we've had this so many times so many different um of cases. and every time they, you know, they say, oh yeah, russia that it, when it's clear that rushes into it, then they just forget it and move on to something else or visually they just simply keep repeating, rush it is, you know, even the, the old effects are against that, they'll just keep repeating it. and in the meantime the innocent people are suffering waiting for answers um, till somebody senior research fellow at the global post institute, i was always pleasure talking on the program. thank you very much. i'm going to hope all and has such notes, ukrainian grain and that's, that's the goal is 5 minutes to spoken on. this is this done taken in his election campaign? is one to move human? yes. flight of we say no to attempts to damage the polish agricultural market, consumers and producers. it was our top position that led to the suspension of the imports of ukrainian grain into the common markets. the
2:23 pm
e u is now deciding whether to maintain the embargo, but i will tell you how it ends. poland will not allow ukrainian green to flood us, regardless of what the officials and brussels decide. we will not open the border. it is the polls who decide what our common home will look like. for the countries i go to administer has reiterated this position, saying that we also will extend the embargo and ukraine ukraine impulse by the end of the week. he also made it clear that if the restrictions are lifted, there will be another crisis according to him, maybe even bigger than before. so whether you're being confused on great romania are ready to do the same and it's not just the politicians. are many farm is offering to go on strike if the funding is listed. meanwhile, the case administered, defense is being asked to keep it down while training ukrainian troops, as of the locals go fed up with allow sounds and explosions and controls the constant. complaints have not gone unnoticed, and the lead ministry base has promised to cut down the frequency of training by 30
2:24 pm
percent and reduce the duration and intensity list. joe, that's across live now to jason michael, who is an academic and journalist. jason, thanks very much for joining us. what do you make of this decision of the case of cut down the training of u k? so just by a said over something and seem like quite trivial, such as noise pollution as well. yes it's, it's certainly a comical story i'll, i will give it not much. but it, there's no such thing as just a trivial question here. this, you know, as you said yourself, they are, you know, picking on the idea of noise pollution in order to voice the annotation of a community. this is, this is only the type of a nice bag we have talking about natural members, particularly in this case, the united kingdom growing tie and all along critical support and assault mobiline is ation effectively against russia. that's having an impact,
2:25 pm
right across the breakfast economy and across the meditation, mood one that you know, certainly over the past 2 decades and more has growing tired of the drum beat for war. and what's the grading issue, jason of the countries they have, they've stated that they're going to extend this ukranian grading embargoes, no matter what brussels decides in you're breaking from the e u m. how long? usually this disagreement between you members and is it completely separate for the ongoing military support for ukraine or these are, these are certainly not separate issues and it's becoming increasingly less unusual for this to happen. if you know we're coming to the u. k, just for a 2nd here, if the entire breakfast process has demonstrated and i think it, it demonstrates the fragility of the, the european union as a project that states, such as poland and germany. and particularly here are,
2:26 pm
you know, they are this sensing and increasing challenge to the sol 70 and you know, here it's a question of economic sol solved 70. where the flooding of the polish market with cheap grain which has come by, by you know, a state of exception where ukraine has been given preferential treatment, especially as i've known. you remember me in order to boyer on falling that's economy, which is very much part of the war pro jack is threatening to destabilize pulls the polish workers. the farmers are, you know, they are upset by us because list challenges. they are, you know, they're the, the last thing, this is how do they make money, and that's being on the costs. and wausau is simply flexing the type of muscle that london showed through the blacks that process threatening europe. you know, effectively, no matter what brussel says,
2:27 pm
we will do is we deem fit for poland. and this is only to be expected when the economy is challenged. and the problem does seem to be for like thing is diplomatic muscles. jason, you uh you answer that question so comprehensive. it, we've only got time for 2, so i've got to say good bye to that. but jason, michael, academic and the journalist, thanks very much for speaking to us today. thank you very much. i, as in other news, iran will we coup $6000000000.00 us dollars of its frozen assets and see the return of 5 nationals out in the us as washington run. so it's present assault process, which i run. i determine that it is in the national security interest of the united states to waive the position of sanctions to facilitate their release. the united states has committed to really these 5 you ran in nationals conflicts out in the united states as a permit. the transfer of approximately $6000000000.00 in restricted rent in funds . housing, south korea, to restore it to the council and guitar. about an administration informed congress
2:28 pm
on monday that's it's had issued a blanket waiver for international banks to transfer the funds that's open the door for your opinion released and a nation binds to convert. the pros now says without violates. and us sanctions, the money transfer was the critical elements and the business on both sides agreed to last month. although the release of the 5 or any business held in the us as part of the deal that had not been made public video. let's discuss the upcoming 1st note swap between us and the around with political analyst dots inside a cd delta cd. thanks very much for joining us today on i'd say i'm it seems quite a big one. the gold nobody will say won't be able to. i said the change of time in relations between washington on the run the how big is this move? uh uh, well 1st of all, thank you very much for having me and then secondly, i think this is just one step forward, bringing about raise the hold for the long vittorio rate that's relations between
2:29 pm
the iran and the united states. and it's give some hope that these talk, this ties could be slightly gradually improved. and there are certain points here. first of all, this is one of the very rare and 1st times venue ron had been able to gain some immediate intangible outcome through that subject to the talks with the united states either directly or indirectly. this is both unusual and of course enquire, gene or people into ron. and then the 2nd point that i think is that if the 2 sides decided to untangle the knots mom by one separately, there is going to be easier to anticipate the solution of the problems in the run with relations. and this is just a, an instance of pragmatic orientation that to size decided to practice beds, uh, the tools this task. but all this page, this page,
2:30 pm
this get not too old for dairies. this vivid air of mistrusting the atmosphere and the countries decided to use the counter drugs carts we to do the financial transaction. we see a clear cautiousness, both from the range the inside in the united states. so with that said, i think this qur'an situation. the prisoners box could open up a new bronze in size between the 2 countries, but whether or not this is going to be translated into a new practice of actually a road map in base the to cost basically, concepts or other issues remains to be seen for them also, there is certainly doesn't and will be very easily watching how that develops a $6000000000.00. it's no small sum of money. it frozen us. it's um, how significant is it for iran and do you have any idea what it would be spent on a believe us a said it'd be going to a few minutes heavy and 8 on measures.
