This is r t international. After a week of damning testimony at the house judiciary committees impeachment hearings donald trump has said he wants a trial in the u. S. A president suggested to fox news he would be able to defend himself successfully in the senate against democrats claims that he abused his office hes also separately described the proceedings against him as a sham and said his political rivals look like fools. Tremendous week with a hoax you know the great hoax the quote the hoax and thats true it worked out. Incredibly well and we have tremendous support i think rogers around here so i dont think ive ever seen support in the Republican Party like we do right now weve never had this. Well the house intelligence chair had banked at republican claims the testimonies had been here saying and absurd democrat adam schiff also didnt rule out holding more public hearings as his panel begins to draft its inquiry report but the around the clock News Coverage is falling flat with some audiences arties taylor has been sharing her emotions and commentary when it comes to impeachment fatigue. Talk to what a year its been and hasnt felt like its just been dragging on and everyone i speak to says the same thing that that confused and anxious for the democrats to stress because theyve been struggling to find a single candidate who can take on trump and 2020 and the best theyve come up with is a man whos made a was when he posed in a short sleeved button down more than 40 years ago then youve got the republicans that just riddled with anxiety they keep checks in a nutshell not phone just praying that lead to hasnt gone on a twitter wrong page all put economy in a choke hold and then of course that the fending off attacks from the democrats left right and center you always told me doc its bad to keep things bottled up inside and ready politicians that just like os they need that stress relief to. So the people on the hell have signed up to a Group Therapy session and its a classic safe space where everyone supports one another and to see going over old ground no other president has betrayed his office like this because the president got caught the president in fact tried to trade a political favor for official Government Resources now this Anti Corruption president who cares so much about rooting out corruption and ukraine putins primary objectives within the United States is to so as to foment unrest for their nation would you agree with me that r. T. D. Is putins Propaganda Machine here in the United States i would agree with honestly its been a huge and that down its a bit like you and me brady i mean i come every week hope hell kill me even though i know its hopeless but were in so deep we just have to keep going but at least i have the decency to east pretend im interested in what you have to say. Even the democrats who have the most to gain from the session a suffering from what ive diagnosed as impeachment i just think were going down this road keep spending more time hundreds of years of history no one has ever been convicted of impeachment and its not just the people whove been sitting through the hearings that are bored its the ordinary voter to master mr morris and i have some bad news for you t. V. Ratings are way down way down i dont hold it personally i dont think its you guys. Or whatever drug deal the democrats are cooking up here on the. American people are buying you might not remember how it will start to dr joe biden was just being helpful father lending a hand in getting hunter setup in a good job been trumped he was just a concerned president worried that hunter biden sitting on a board of a need to Ukrainian Gas Company while his father was the countrys point man was a conflict of interest so best saying he nudged the ukrainian president to look into the matter may be used as a bargaining chip that 400000000. 00 of aid the us have promised which reminds me even ukraines tired of this whole impeachment saga i think everybody really is the. Reason were here although i work on the street we have all the independence we have all the rovers and grace that is right ive got bad news it looks like we might be stuck in this therapy session for a while because to put it simply even if the house of representatives dominated by the democrats votes to endorse trumps impeachment it still has to pass the upper house the senate and there are rumors that the republicans wont just unanimously vote to quickly dismiss the charges but what actually get embroiled in a long trial a trial that could be 6 days a week every week. Until an agreement is reached the only person whos apparently not too down in the doldrums about that is trump dont know why one of the 1st orders because frankly i want to throw you know i can think i could have it you want to try out every one 0 i wouldnt. You know one they should never ever impeach them i think about with this the more i realize just like our sessions its its a whole lot of money a whole lot of time and it leaves a whole lot of nowhere. Meanwhile u. S. Democratic president ial hopeful to govern has been the butt of some cutting remarks from the New York Times for her choice of clothing the paper reports that her white suits are more cult leader than haute couture. It has been as asians have refrained from in the center the white suits are of somewhat converts of righteousness also cult leaders. Only near liberals and the my wife susan. That is the most ridiculous pose debate article of. Newspapers only has many of the content that you. Tulsi she challenges the democratic establishment she is not supportive of regime change and less war all the money the military is spending often needlessly so shes somebody that really calls that out and i think the democratic establishment you know really is like how dare she do that and they come after her so and they come after her in ways as frivolous as this you know. To say that like her white pantsuit makes her sort of like you know a cult leader and shes on the fringe and a complete radical and thats really unfair to her its an unfair characterization. Germany wants to double down on catching pedophiles online but a new tactic to infiltrate the socalled dark web well see it enter some ethically suspect territory by creating fake child pornography. Investigators will be able to use Computer Generated images in the future if crimes cannot be detected another way we are now running the legal foundations and we must never forget that behind child pornography images are terrible acts of abuse against children. The Authorities Say investigators will be given all means available to track down sex offenders but it is proving divisive supporters of the strategy insist it will help kill off the socalled dark net of illegal websites while opponents argue that crimes cannot be solved by creating new crimes project hes got from the u. K. s Christian Legal Center told us that evidence gathered in such a way could potentially prove inadequate in court and you look at the crime shows on t. V. And they have solicitation of prostitution or or pull undercover policeman doing. Selling drugs those are incidences where theyre not committing crimes now generating child pornography certainly is so whether theyre creating a crime or not is one question to me the bigger question is the issue of whether you can convict someone based on evidence that was gathered through criminal activity and i think that this might backfire on them by catching people not having to release them because of tarnished evidence. The Internet Watch Foundation report on child sexual abuse imagery found that europe is the worlds worst when it comes to online child pornography the continent hosts around 2 thirds of all confirmed cases with the netherlands having the most offenders political commentator under walker and former British Police officer peter kirk and shared their views with us. It would obviously have to be used very carefully and would be used sparingly. There are various things that could be done to minimize the risk of it being spread further but if the aim is to close down and arrest all those using the particular platform or chat room that youre gaining access to then in a way its sort of self destructs to a certain extent anyway in the United Kingdom these sorts of images and videos would be illegal and the reason that theyre illegal is not because theres a victim of them because clearly there is until in a simulated image but what there it what it has the potential to do is to excite offenders and what we dont want to do is have a government in your producing material that can potentially excite people into offending in real life or outside the Virtual World and i can understand the view but the amounts of child sexual imagery thats out there is absolutely enormous anything added by the German Police will be an absolute drop in the ocean i also think theres another more general concern about the issue of entrapment we have as a society have to protect our society from police going too far and i think that this potentially is a bridge too far this wouldnt be entrapment and entrapment is unlawful it would be a means of getting into a closed close space for a very long time in the u. K. The police have used informants who have participated in the commission of crimes in a minor role classically the getaway driver. In a bank robbery. Would be able to pay off for oysters a participating informant in the crime i think the significant concern is that people who starts on child pornography will begin offending against children in real life its hard to imagine anybody saying im only willing to consume fake child pornography i should majed you. Stuff i just dont see that everybody would would delineates in that way if they were a sex offender and i think putting more material onto a dark web seems instinctively to me to be making the problem potentially far worse policing in these sorts of areas is a dirty business and sometimes you have to get your hands dirty to a certain extent to take out the really bad players.
