Meant for its internal ends coach says the team is ready to begin a new era of 6 sas enter aiming to win their 1st trophy in almost a decade in the Europa League final agony said the. There we are here we go federal prosecutors in the United States of a rest and charged a former senior white house strategist steve bannon he was one of president Donald Trumps most influential advisors during the 2016 Election Campaign the Justice Department is accusing him of conspiracy to commit wire fraud it has to do with a Fund Raising Campaign to support the building of mr trumps wall along the border between the United States and mexico in a moment well speak to our. White house correspondent kimberly. Lets go live now to Gabriel Elizondo outside the courthouse in new york thats dealing with the band in case any sign of him in cool. There has not been any sign of him its been very quiet here at court and part of that can probably be attributed to the fact that were still dealing with corona virus here so a lot of the normal procedures that would normally be taking place just simply arent because of coronavirus so what were told is that bannon is going to be making an appearance in front of a judge here however it appears that it most likely will not be a person its most likely worked will we are told will be some sort of video link which we do not have access to outside however we are set up here of course and should the prosecutors or any of mr bannons lawyers come out to speak we are certainly here to to to bring that information to you this is certainly a big big arrest ban and was arrested in connecticut just to the north of new york city were told that this indictment is with 4 people but bannon is the one that people are most focused on what prosecutors allege essential is that in december of 2018 bennett and 3 other people set up a Nonprofit Organization that was soliciting money to build the border wall between the United States and mexico they called it we the people build the wall they said that all of the funds for this would go to building that wall and as you know many of donald Trump Supporters throughout the year throughout the u. S. Really supported that cause well they got 25000000. 00 in donations from hundreds of thousands of people throughout the United States and elsewhere well and according to the indictment mr bannon funneled more than a 1000000 of that of those dollars for his own personal use which is very much. Illegal and against whatever you set up a Nonprofit Fund such as that so that is why hes arrested hes facing. Corruption charges and fraud charges and we expect to hear more. Faces the judge ok kate thanks very much gabriel is on the reporting live from new york well mr trump was asked about Steve Bannons arrest heres some of what he had to say a little earlier i think its a very sad thing for mr ben and i think its surprising but this was something as you know just by reading social media and by reading whatever it is and by speaking to mike and mike in all of them i didnt like that project i thought that was a project that was being done for showboating reasons i dont know that he was in georgia i didnt know any of the other people either but its its sad its very. Live now to our White House Correspondent kimberly so mr trump kimberley clearly wanting a sense of distance to percolate to the old electorate in the run up to the election distance between him and mr bannon but the reality is mr bannon was kind of the ideological brains behind baby trump candidate trump. Theres no question that where these 2 men connected was the fact that they were antiestablishment they dont have a whole lot in common but it was that one issue that really seemed to click and propel the president s 2016 Election Campaign one that was ultimately successful but their relationship went steve better was in the white house was very short lived just about 7 months and ending on bad terms after he was pushed out steve bannon as chief white house strategist was very critical of the trumpet ministration and particularly Donald Trumps involvement with his children on the perforate of the administration or in the case of a vodka truck being directly involved as an advisor to the president in fact steve baron calling vodka trump dumb as a brick and that is something that dire did not sit well with President Trump so well you heard him talking there about the indictment of steve bevan saying it was sad hes not sad at all about what has happened to Steve Ballmer and what hes referring to is the scheme that steve bad was allegedly operating that he is now stepping charges for in terms of what it did to those that were supportive of President Trump and ultimately were defrauded so this is something that is certain to have a little bit of that will stick on donald trump on the campaign trail but again hes doing his best to try to distance himself so that the White House Communications team is doing as well and almost 4 years on kimberly again today were not getting any revelations to do with mr trumps tax affairs take us through that because this is a complex scenario where one could kind of kick the can down the road back to another court. Yeah this will come said stems from in terms of the latest chapter of the story from a Supreme Court ruling that came down just you know weeks ago and it really was 2 cases melded into one the Supreme Court kind of dividing its opinion with respect to members of congress trying to get president trying to tax returns they said look youre going to have to have something concrete if you want this youre going to have to have a very specific request in other words you cant call it a fishing expedition now what donald trump seems to have as you reacted to this in the oval office is confused that decision with the other part of the Supreme Courts decision involving the case in the Southern District of new york and that kicked it down to the lower court from the Supreme Court basically saying now these lower courts can work their way through this process thats whats happening the u. S. President not winning the latest victory in terms of that that went to the prosecutor in new york in fact the federal judge siding with the new york state prosecutors donald trump the reacting in the oval office once again accusing the fishing expedition when in this case it is not take a listen. This is the ultimate fishing expedition nobody has anything we did we dont do things wrong but theyll say lets go in and inspect every deal hes ever done lets get papers from 10 years every paper every deal hes ever side maybe we can find where some lawyer made a mistake where they didnt dot an eye with it in put a comma down someplace and then we can do something this is a disgrace and this should never ever be allowed to happen again now to be clear those waiting for Donald Trumps tax returns im likely to see them before the u. S. Election in fact donald trump valley to fight this even if it has to go back to the Supreme Court this is something we knew would take a while to work its way through in the midst of all of this with the election now just weeks away the u. S. President continuing his counterprogramming tour as he faces off against the democratic president ial nominee Joe Biden Joe biden accepting that nomination this evening in the United States donald trump trying to get ahead of that message he is set to leave the white house the running behind schedule that he should be leaving any moment to head to joe bidens hometown of scranton pennsylvania an important pennsylvania battleground state donald trump is hoping to win ok kimberly many things can be helped get there reporting live for us here on the news out of washington standing as a side the white house ok as we know the Democratic National convention in full swing in the states lets talk now to christine palosi hes joining us from california she is an attorney democratic strategist and chair of the womens caucus the California Democratic party Christine Pelosi 1st your reaction to the news today about steve benen irony is dead. But the investigation into the trump grifting of america is very much alive steve bannon and donald trump came up with this race a study idea that they were going to build a wall and mexico would pay from the very beginning of Donald Trumps campaign in 2015 he used the wall to symbolize racism he referred to mexicans as rapists and murderers said they werent sending their best people maligning not only all mexicans that all mexican americans and clued in the millions of immigrants who have come to america to make a better life for themselves and who are caring for our families taking our food and in some cases being elected to the highest levels of government so lets be clear about what this is they promised a wall they promised mexico would pay tromp is gripping the taxpayers by taking money from meant for veterans housing and putting into wall construction in defiance of congress ok and the courts and steve bannon is ok being Trump Supporters to try to get money is the banks heres the thing the thing is with our c. N. N. Despite the track record of people who are legally or politically toxic around donald trump put that through the prism of the d. N. C. For me and its this if the d. N. C. Has now come up with a Winning TicketJoe Biden Kamel heris if thats a Winning Ticket despite the reality of that that in a cabal of people around mr trump why is it all the opinion polls are still roughly 5050524846 extension 54 this Winning Tickets coming to us out of the d. N. C. Doesnt apparently get much traction with American Voters not the kind of traction you need if you going to win. Well 1st i want joe bidens 10 points up so im not sure which polls youre looking at but whether its 10 or its 2 were acting like were 10 points behind for a very good reason an incumbent president always has an edge because he has the president ial bag a phone donald supporter to Trump Supporters voted for him knowing that he was racist motive for him knowing that he wanted to stop immigrants from coming to america and voted for him knowing that they werent saying his tax returns even though he promised us they would so we dont and knowing that he was probably making some money off of the presidency so this is something they already know thats not news and just so were clear it isnt the d. M. C. That came up with the ticket its tens of millions of democratic voters around the country who nominated joe biden and when you look at joe biden born in scranton pennsylvania where as you noted President Trump is going today to try to counter. The the lived experience of the by family in scranton i think that these election will come down to a few basic things number one both sides motivating their base and i think most democrats and most republicans know how theyre voting also youll have people who may have given donald trump a chance before but after cold that after the economic collapse and after their lives didnt get better as he promised them they would are now saying well maybe ill give joe biden a chance ok remember joe biden was nominated for the system some of the same reasons obama picked him in 08 and 2012 is to go after these working class voters in america who live in these swing states ok understood lets lets just refocus the optics a little bit youre talking about people knowing what trump was like can i suggest to you that knowing and caring a 2 different thing steve bannon Michael Cohen poll manifold rick gates roger stone Michael Flynn theyve all the the been indicted or the names been in the frame for doing something terribly illegal and the reality is the voters that the democrats have to get to vote democrat they just dont care. Well some of them do and thats why we won the house and 28 teams and won governorships and legislative seats across the country including places where trump has won but i would agree with you thats my thats the initial point that i made myself too they knew what they were voting for and they did it anyway because to a certain extent they felt well thats how you do business in real estate in new york hes an entertainer thats what entertainers do theres always going to be a little bit of grifting off your name i do think its different when that comes smack dab. Confronted with the things that people need now that we need relief now that we need to get our mail from the post office now that there are things that we need from the government that we are not getting because donald trump is not delivering and thats what makes people start to care when it is when it is doesnt affect your life you dont much care about somebodys personal problems or the corrupt people around them but when that corruption the cost of that corruption is you not getting your meds in the mail and that corruption is you not getting the coronavirus test so you go safely back to work or school then youre going to care and thats why you see his numbers dropping and frankly i think thats the challenge for all the candidates right now as they go into the election how can we convince the American People that there is a path forward out of this coronavirus pandemic because no matter who wins the pandemic is still going to be with us and how can we convince people to be a little bit more thoughtful of one another when it comes to wearing a mask getting tested getting trace and not taking risks with your own life or somebody elses thats the kind of Community Vision that joe biden will offer up tonight when he accepts the nomination there is of course an older generation arent he would offer that next week understood but me for interrupting you that there is of course a very much an older generation at the heart of u. S. Politics i mean you know nancy pelosi is not a young woman the combined age of donald trump and. Thats more than 150 years if you and i have this kind of conversation again on november the 4th and i was to ask you how long until we get President Joe Biden replaced by president komla harris do you think itll be too many years 3 years or 4 years. Could be 4 years it could be 8 years but having a running mate who is of a different generation gender and race really balances out the tech and says to young people and particularly to women of color who are black or Asian American or in the team or. Native american there is a place for you in leadership when you look at the House Democratic caucus led by nancy pelosi it is over 60 percent women people of color q there is a new america that is coming forward and being reflected in at the seats of power and nancy pelosi case over 40 women in congress have gavels not just her 18 freshman have gavels thats real thats real power to set an agenda so were looking at isnt just you know the age of the person its the age of their ideas its their flexibility and opening up to new people and its the opportunity theyre giving new people and young people to lead and thats what weve seen this week at this convention not just with kamel harris but with joe biden in conversation with young climate activists with young gun violence prevention activists saying there is room for you in this conversation and we want you to be setting the pace and i think that is. You know those of us who Close Relationships with our elders thats why we love and respect them because theyre giving us their wisdom theyre also giving us mentoring and theyre also passing the torch and this is a real time in america to bring people together and heal as dr jill biden says we must do but also to make sure that the urgent concerns of young people are being met because all over the world young people are looking at the world and the economy that theyve inherited and saying. This seems to me to be a bit of a gift the people who carry top what about my future ok we must leave it there christine policy great to get your thoughts on this evolving situation with american politics Going Forward to the election thank you very much thank you so much. Well president from was dealing with those questions about steve bannon and his taxes as he hosted the new iraqi Prime Minister mustapha card to me they discussed the future of 5000 u. S. Troops are still stationed in iraq u. S. Forces have already started to withdraw from several bases over the past few months we have been taking our troops out of iraq fairly rapidly and we look forward to the day when we dont have to be there and hopefully iraq can live their own lives and they can defend themselves which ive been doing long before we got involved Prime Minister to me says the withdrawal needs to be balanced with iraqs security needs well theres 2 article that in this plan up and we will not allow any attack on iraqs sovereignty similarily we cannot allow iraq to become a platform for any hostile act against any of our neighbors i believe all the parties are aware of the conditions and circumstances of iraq we are keen on ensuring our sovereignty and we cannot allow iraq to be a platform for any threats to any country in the region especially the turks.

President from his demanding that all u. N. Sanctions be reimposed against iran he says the secretary of state mike pompei a will meet the u. N. Secretary general soon to start the process in iran to new missiles have been unveiled today ignoring u. S. Objections once a ballistic surface to surface missile with a range of 1400 kilometers is named after customs lavani the iranian general killed by a u. S. Drone strike in january in iraq and the 2nd is a missile this launch from a submarine that one has a range of 1000 kilometers live to correspondent at the United Nations kristen salumi so kristen just explain to us what will happen and mr pompei o tries to get this ability to i think its called the snap back deployment absolutely were waiting for the secretary of state mike pompei o to arrive here at u. N. Headquarters in new york at any moment now and hes due to meet with the president of the Security CouncilIndonesian Ambassador deon johnny and submit a formal request to implement snap back a complaint essentially against iran claiming that they are in violation of the nuclear deal and once that happens the council would have 30 days to under the nuclear deal to essentially negotiate a resolution to. Passed a resolution that would keep those sanctions lifted and thats what most of the Security Council wants a you thats resolution to extend the arms embargo failed miserably it got only one vote from the Dominican Republic. So you would think that this would be a possibility but the u. S. Of course has veto power so the u. S. Would likely veto any resolution to keep the lifting of the sanctions in place now under the snapback provision the sanctions are supposed to be automatically reinstituted if there is no agreement from the council the iranians however in a letter just today delivered to the Security Council president from foreign minister divides arief argues that the United States has no right to initiate snapback because it withdrew from the deal in 2018 they are calling the United States. And its actions unacceptable the foreign minister said its an illegal and dangerous move that puts at risk all International Rules and regulations designed to prevent the world from falling into chaos russia for its part permanent member of the Security Council also subscribes to that view they said just a short time ago here at the u. N. Security council that only a participant can trigger the snapback provision and most Council Members ascribed to that view so we have a divided council of the United States on one hand and the other members on the other who resolves this conflict while secretary of state mike pompei was also coming to speak to the secretary general the secretary general antonio good terrorist has not taken sides on whether or not the u. S. Has the right to trigger snapback but it has he has vigorously defended the nuclear deal as an important diplomatic tool an important diplomatic itchy. I meant so what do we have Going Forward will the sanctions be reimposed in 30 days it looks like legal limbo here at this point and no clarity coming from the United Nations with the United States claiming one thing and the russians claiming another kristen thanks very much kristen tsunami there at the United Nations in new york.

Welcome back lets just recap your top stories for you here on the news on the former white house strategist steve bannon has been arrested and accused of conspiracy to commit wire for the charges are in relation to a Fund Raising Campaign sport the building the President Trumps border wall between mexico and america. The u. S. Federal judge has rejected trumps latest attempt to shield his tax records from the District Attorney in new york has now filed an emergency motion to delay handing them over. The u. S. Is beginning a process not known a snapback which is aimed at reimposing all u. N. Sanctions against iran the u. S. Secretary of state like many people will meet later at the United Nations in new york. Well the u. S. Stance on iran is one of many major Foreign Policy areas appended by donald trump president ial candidate joe biden says hed take a very different approach if he wins in November Mike hanna reports now on how that might look the p. P. C. Meeting of the Security Council is called to order it was a humiliating defeat u. S. Attempts to extend an arms embargo on iran in the u. N. Security Council Earlier this month ended in abject failure the draft resolution has not been a doctor traditional allies like britain france and germany abstained the only country voting with the us was the Dominican Republic the meeting is that. It just demonstrates that. President trump and his team are not only bad at the strategy of approaching iran they are bad at just the day to day tactics of diplomacy it was then secretary of state john kerry who signed the 2015 deal with iran on the behalf of the u. S. And this week he appeared at the Democratic Convention in support of Joe Biden Joe understands our values dont limit our power they magnify it he knows you cant spread democracy around the world if you dont practice it at home in 2018 president unilaterally withdrew from the iran agreement which had been signed by china france germany iran russia the United Kingdom and the European Union it was and she meant for the European Union one of their crowning achievements and so to trash that deal to destroy that d. L. Lets not only an attack on iran and i think it was written almost an attack on americas allies in europe we will be today terminating our relationship with the World Health Organization and redirecting those funds to other worldwide and deserving urgent Global Public health needs president began the process to pull the u. S. Out of the World Health Organization this at a time of raging pandemic and action joe biden insisted he would immediately reverse as president President Trump pulled out of the paris climate accords often labeling Climate Change a hoax something that joe biden has pledged to rectify on the subject of russia President Trump has stressed the need for cold your relations and has dismissed accusations about moscows interference in the 2016 election joe biden says president putin is assaulting the foundation of western democracy by seeking to weaken nato thereby the European Union and undermine the us electoral system yes yes i accept your nomination for running for the right to run biden says hell offer an International Policy rooted in gears at the highest level of government. Drawing on relationships with the World Leaders built up the senator and Vice President but the trump legacy is likely to linger the 14 dress aspect of the trump Foreign Policy is that it is really interest and burn policy its hard to go back for example on the World Health Organization or at the paris paris Climate Court its going to be hard for even a President Biden to go back into those institutions and those multilateral courts and be taken seriously a biden presidency may demand accountability for the actions of some that President Trump simply dismissed it might restore d the correct legal term occupy territory with regard to palestine and recommit to a 2 state solution. But the greatest challenge facing the biden team would be to restore International Trust in a nation that once private itself as a leader of the free world. Mike hanna aljazeera washington the libyan warlords only for half time is maintaining his blockade on oil output after early indications that he was lifting it 2 years however and one ships to collect some fuel which is already sitting in reserves one of the one had explains now from tripoli. Only 24 hours after the head of the eastern to be used to prove how to Petroleum Facilities guard stated that they are lifting the blockade on the oil exports by instructions from the war lord seely for have to have to spokesman within the smadi and i answered that lifting the blockade will only include discharging or unloading the oil gas and other fuel to stored in the tanks there according to him by instructions from have to to eliminate an environmental disaster there now this indicates a contradiction because if half that is giving orders to his forces to lift the blockade on the Oil Facilities he himself stated in the past that the blockade has been imposed by local tribes but also seems that there is no total or terminal lifting of the blockade at least for the time being despite International Pressure now the state oil firm here of tripoli the National Oil Corporation has this to me did over 8000000000. 00 losses in oil revenues because of the of the blockade the chairman of the National Oil Corporation was also stated that the militarization of the Oil Facilities could trees could result in an environmental and humanitarian disaster because the presence of the military individuals namely the russian mercenaries in the Oil Facilities is close to. Other chemicals and. Stored in the tanks there and that could result as the chairman of the national or corporation in a humanitarian and environmental disaster. India appears to be struggling in its battle against the Global Pandemic its just reported a new record increase in daily infections nearly 70000. 00 in the past 24 hours that brings its total number of cases to 2840000 its the 3rd worst hit country in the world Indian Health officials have released the latest results of their antibodies survey Elizabeth Piron m has more on that from new delhi. Delis Health Minister says that 29 point one percent of delhis residents have antibodies to the corona virus thats out of the latest c. Logical survey which tests for antibodies was conducted in the 1st week of august testing around 15000 samples now dellys confirmed number of cases is just over 156000 but the same indicates that the real number of cases are closer to around 6000000 given that the capital has a population of around 20000000 and surveys being done around the country paint a similar picture the results of the survey in the city of pooling from earlier this week thats in maharashtra the worst affected state that showed that over 50 percent off the citys 6000000 population have antibodies now one of the big reasons for the discrepancy between the confirmed number of cases in india and what serial logical surveys show is the relatively low level of testing and thats one of the reasons why the Indian Government has really ramped up testing it conducted more than 100000 tests on wednesday it wants to be conducting least 1000000 every single day but the other problem is the number of the quicker but less accurate rapid and teachin tests that are being used up to 30 percent of all the tests in the country other less accurate rapid antigen tests and on wednesday demis high court once again expressed concern that the government in delhi is using double the number of rapid adhesion tests and is as it is the test the more accurate test thats known as the r. T. P. C. Heres numbers of afghans are facing Food Shortages caused by the virus and then make the lockdowns that followed nearly 4000000 people have lost their primary source of income since the outbreak began according to estimates from the World Food Program 16000000 people are at risk of going hungry and food prices soared because of border restrictions and nearly 2000000 afghan children under the age of 5 are likely to suffer from life threatening hunger thats according to save the children of a fee ramaswamy is deputy country director for the u. N. World food program in afghanistan she explains how difficult it is to respond to this crisis at a time when donna countries are struggling with problems of their own you know kind of d. And a mic is just not effective get this done its a Global Pandemic and we have seen unprecedented consequences of this week. The urgency is if you may even that of countries are having problems not so much probably like the ones in afghanistan but definitely employment is an issue having the right hospital beds for everything people to treat is an issue people following guidance and reducing the risk of transmission is an issue so we are not seeing this problem as just confined to one country its transporter. But we also know that other International Partners have come together to ensure that theyre able to help us and just they can. More than 73000 people are listed as missing in mexico and around 20 percent of them a minus of a say the number of children who disappear every day has doubled over the past 2 years most are believed to have been trafficked for Sexual Exploitation or sold into forced labor. Reports now from mexico city. 22 up it is asking for help to locate her 2 year old son dylan he was taken from a market in the mexican state of chiapas on june 30th when he does says despite the Media Attention and help from activists it took a long time for police and authorities to begin investigating the boys disappearance yes and if they let me in i know its not only my son that everyone should be looking for but i know that if we search for him we will find many of the children thats what i would like for people to keep looking and keep coming together not only for my son but for the many other lost children point he does case is far from unique every day an average of 7 children go missing in mexico and that rate of daily child abductions has almost doubled in the last 2 years look. At it in the news again we believe the disappearance of Young Children is linked to illegal adoptions nationally and internationally you know and in the case of other less and girls the evidence suggests they become victims of sex trafficking and in the case of adolescent boys we know theyre often forced to work for criminal groups. According to the latest National Statistics more than 73000 people are listed as missing across mexico and just as forced disappearances have seen an exponential growth in recent years so have protests calling for accountability demonstrations like these have become very common here in the mexican capital and theyre often organized by the family members of missing persons and what we hear consistently from people at this type of protests is that the government isnt doing enough to find their missing loved ones that. They have. Mexico has some of the toughest laws in the region against Human Trafficking but legal experts say a culture of corruption and impunity means few cases are ever solved many are never even investigated.
