Live from moscow thanks for joining us on the weekly here in our the international and daniel welcome to the program. In the biggest news from this week theres been a sense of triumph among us democrats after an official impeachment inquiry was launched into President Trump this latest chapter has been brought about by his alleged attempts to undermine a key democratic rival in the 2020 president ial race i made claims trump leaned on ukraines president to investigate joe bidens sons activities in the country in exchange for u. S. Support for key of. Takes a look at the democrats obsession with impeachment. Democrats have always seen impeachment as Donald Trumps kryptonite a swift and effective way of ending his political life and theyve been promising to pull that switch since he got in office the walls feel like theyre closing in on the truth of this racial right now and im not sure the figures hold them off for much longer the walls are closing in and everyone is freaking out the walls are closing the wheels are coming off. The walls are closing in on President Trump the walls are closing it will trouble the walls are closing in on the trump white house. All of the walls are closing in at this point the walls are closing in fast and on for theyve talked about it so much in fact it almost became too much some would have been forgiven for thinking it was all bark and no bite yet this week to the surprise of some and delight of others House Speaker nancy pelosi announced that theyre pushing the red button the actions of the Trump Presidency revealed dishonorable fact of the president s betrayal of his oath of office betrayal of our National Security and the trail of the integrity of our elections therefore today announcing the house of representatives moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry the launching of the inquiry signals the very start of the proceedings that could eventually end up with impeachment and even trump losing office so what was that thing that was convincing enough for the democrats to finally buckle up take a deep breath and say. An anonymous whistleblower sounded an alarm with the National Intelligence over Donald Trumps conversation with the ukrainian president. During the conversation trump suggested that his counterpart investigate his most likely rival in the 2020 election joe biden and his son hunter over their business in ukraine. Apparently as Vice President at the time biden sr might have blackmailed the previous Ukrainian Administration into closing a corruption investigation into a gas company his son had an executive role that i said you know i get the 1000000000 i will be leaving here i think it was about 6 hours i looked as im really 6 hours if the prosecutor is not fired youre not getting the money or son of a. Youre fired trump seems to be in all sorts of trouble following pelosi is announcement is openly accused of extortion as well as of asking a foreign state to meddle in americas president ial election sounds familiar nobody knows for sure though what exactly trumps words were but the democrats put all their trust in that whistleblower expecting a bombshell collusion story and then trump releases the transcript theres a lot of talk about bidens son that biden stop the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do would be great biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it it sounds horrible to me the issue of the investigation of the case is actually the issue of making sure to restore the honesty so we will take care of that and we work on the investigation of the case i would kindly ask if you have any Additional Information that you can provide to us it would be very helpful from the investigation no matter what side youre on that was hardly a bombshell a firecracker a best it gets rough for both camps the transcripts not word for word but rather a recollection of events by witnesses its vague to the point of a rorschach test anyone can interpreted the way they want to and so they do like any mafia boss the president didnt need to say thats a nice country you have it be a shame if something happened to it because that was clear from the conversation there is no quid pro quo necessary to. Betray your country or your oath of office even though many read this as a quid pro quo im not concerned whether it is a quid pro quo or not now every sides got a lot at stake in this game but its the democrats who have gone all in theres no way back and normal chips in the bank the impeachment bazooka can fire only one round so they apply the whole arsenal of political stunts in this video for instance democrat adam schiff is giving a monster clause in reading between the lines in the transcript that everyones seen want you to make up dirt on my political potent understand lots of it on this and on that and by the way dont call me again ill call you when youve done what i asked and sure enough there was no way in hell Hillary Clinton the person with the biggest bone to pick with trump could have remained a bystander in this this argument occupant of the oval office poses a clear and present danger to our future to our democracy isnt a saw by putting his personal and political interests ahead of the interests of the American People as for the woman who announced the impeachment in the 1st place she seemed keen to invoke the memory of the russia saga and the hysteria that went with it as we saw with the russian interference and by the way i think russia has a hand in this by the way democrats have backed themselves into a corner and the path the impeachment will follow as of now is a make or break situation but for us democrats to trump ukraine conversation saugor is not enough now say they want trump to disclose another transcript of his conversations with a lot of your puter. Paramount need here is to protect the National Security the United States and see whether in the conversations with other World Leaders and in particular with putin that the president was also undermining our security in a way that he thought would personally benefit his campaign Russias Foreign Ministry spokeswoman marie is a hot of us said trumps the sit in to publish the ukrainian transcript changes relations between World Leaders that makes it dangerous to negotiate with the United States former cia officer john could yaqui believes washingtons moves could also damage its foreign policy. I think that is a fishing expedition i saw that this morning in the u. S. Media and you know we have this thing in the United States called executive privilege where the executive branch of government is allowed to. Conduct business to carry out the diplomacy d of the United States in private without having to answer to capitol hill the democrats are looking for more information specifically related to russia that they can use to impeach donald trump donald trump will invoke executive privilege and will refuse to turn those documents over thats going to be in the Foreign Relations of the United States and the relations that we had with other countries if you cant if youre a foreign leader and you cant trust the president of the United States to keep a secret then who can you trust and as a result this will damage u. S. Foreign policy. This weeks or a fresh wave of Global Climate protests including in canada where thousands took to the streets into these across the country among those taking part in a rally in montreal while the canadian Prime Minister and 2 knocked with questions. As a meeting between the 2 Justin Trudeau to doing more to save the planet money from but delivered an impassioned address to the un Climate Action summit a swedish combine over a beautiful World Leaders for failing to tackle a distraction of the biosphere. You have stolen my dreams my childhood with your empty words and yet im one of the jocks once. People are suffering people are dying entire School Systems are collapsing we are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is the money and fairy tales of eternal Economic Growth how dare you 6. While shes been widely praised for a speech there are those who say shes leaving a cult for the Younger Generation or does they have looked at a thin line between activism and fanaticism. The thing with Climate Change is its called deligated we dont fully understand it ourselves we know its happening we know some of the reasons but its all tenuous and the guys who have the best grasp of it scientists and always easy to understand but thats why Mother Nature gave us Climate Change activists no need for his meteorology degree there. Are many activists it isnt about science or facts policy or debate its faith belief in something greater something they dont necessarily understand conics plain and wound comprehend like the Judeo Christian religion the world is going to end in 12 years if we dont address Climate Change we face catastrophe and crisis on this planet Climate Change but though its not something that we have to prepare for it is something that is here you know theres a word for that the image feeling that the world is about to and that im a get in is around the corner schooled eschatology and it formed the basis of early christian dogma but the day of the lord will come as a thief in the night in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise and the elements will melt with fervent heat both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up we should be grateful to Climate Change activists trying to save our and worthy polluted souls save us from judgment day and as with any faith they have a prophet that you need a college. Jesus didnt have a University Degree now the lord of climate stability has sent us his daughter we are not in school today. And this time we are not alone we have some adults one i work today eva. The him and why because this is an emergency our house is on the cyan faith is for everyone the rich and the poor all genders races and ages this is a hooley crusade and anyone old enough to hold a protest side or throw a rock concert of the holy spirit of the atmosphere. Brings a tear to my eyes its exactly like the crusade of the year 1212 when thousands of European Children joined up to liberate the holy land of course none of them got them many died along the way but come on its kids doing stuff spies everybody plus it makes the heretics look bad oh yeah like with any were legit there are heretics those who refuse to acknowledge god or whatever you believe in they have a name in this faith Climate Change deniers is no middle ground either if youre a skeptic you are a denial and Climate Change deniers a dirty trashy folk the sort who are going to rule. Stay in the hell where the lights stay on even when nobodys home Climate Change deniers are a danger to our security the gloves are off predatory climate deniers are threat to our children the depravity of Climate Change denial it sure looks like Climate Change is the new 21st century dogma over ive gotten through to you we in the media we want to save your soul and if you already paid well were going to church well Online Church just open your internet browser and go to n b c dot com confess there confess my children confess your sins cleanse your polluted sols seriously theyve got a climate confessions page that tell me this isnt the full blown religion. Childrens toys were in the crosshairs on tuesday as the french government signed an agreement to combat gender stereotypes trying to ensure toy makers and sellers they dont automatically push dolls for girls and cars for boys of a new directive seeks to attract more girls toward science activities stating that gender divisions in stores are a thing of the past and should be scrapped before christmas they say is to broaden childrens of our generation so theyre not influenced by stereotypes as they grow up were looking to work in the creation of new toys and also how they are represented in advertisement and the way their assault fighting discrimination later on requires action right from the very 1st days and while some are welcoming the move others claim its a form of gender engineering is what our guests had to say on the matter. Its really good because they want to put an end to gender toys they want to give the freedom to children to choose whatever they want to so were not forcing boys to play with dolls if they dont want to of course and girl again they can play with adult all and then they can play without the stuff related to to you know Computer Science maybe math or other things that actually will be an incentive to women to choose other subjects in university a psychology professor in Cambridge UniversitySimon Baron Cohen has shown that as early as several days after birth the female babies show an interest in faces whereas male babies typically show an interest in mechanical items so theres some hard wiring that the idea that somehow you can charge society by but by by forcing boys to play with dolls and and girls play with trucks is is an absolute its ludicrous bills and boys are different men and women a difference and there is no problem to be fixed all votes have been counted in austrias snuff election called in the wake of a donation scandal will tell you which party has the edge after this short break. What politicians do something to. Put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president. Or something want to. Watch you go right to the person its like the 3 of them or people. Im interested always in the why. Arent there. So what weve got to do is. Identify the threats that we have its crazy. Let it be an arms race is also a spear in Dramatic Development that only loosely uses i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. Pretty. Much the weekly form of shots. Has one austrias snap election with all ballots counted it picked up 38 percent of the vote. Its incredible its an amazing day its in the story results for part 2 and the end result try to. Talk through all the other parties in the parliament and try to form a government to the words for the people of forcefield thank you. For the last 4 months the country has been ruled by a caretaker government after a donation scandal brought down the conservative coalition back in may the fallout was triggered by a video showing his Coalition Partner offering political favors to a wealthy woman claiming to be from russia an exchange for donations for his Election Campaign incident became known as the affair as the video was shot on the spanish political scientist yet now believes that the former Coalition Partners are likely to be reunited. Hes been the guy to get the kurdish leaders the Freedom Party unless the Freedom Party senator doesnt want to lose the coalition if they dont buy my red shoes to go into their opposition. Cliques might try to form a coalition resist social democrats however the issues are separate the social democrats and their conservative party play much. Negotiations will be very difficult but assert option for your quits would be a 3rd edition is the green party but the base of the green party doesnt even want to have a correlation with the concern about the therapeutic courts where fines for people have to be bought in the kurdish which supports more of this he issues or the other option some more difficult for him. In a move that sounds like a straight out of Science Fiction the pentagon said monday but it seeking to boost the immunity of u. S. Soldiers i mean to protect them against chemical and biological attacks through the use of gene editing there are fears that socalled human upgrades could be weaponized as capable and explains. This soldier of the future wont just be battle trained and ready to kill theyll be genetically engineered to withstand a biological attack the pentagon has a plan for editing the d. N. A. And creating Super Soldiers why is Defense Advanced Research projects agency doing this to protect a soldier on the battlefield from chemical weapons and biological weapons by controlling their genome have in the genome produce proteins that would automatically protect the soldier from the inside out so far this sounds a little bit closer to Science Fiction perhaps a bit more fantasy than fact he will be the 1st marine. Earlier this year a chinese scientist announced that 2 girls were born with edited genomes gen
