Good evening and welcome this is all to. Us houses started to debate the done trump impeachment articles process of the law coming up later today the president himself has accused the democratic leadership of pressure this is a moment that you will read about in your history books he sought to elevate himself as a dictator a king but we are not him arent monarchy we are the United States of america i want my daughter to be able to tell her children grandma did the right thing because in america no one is above the law now why and of the democrat witnesses now why i was able to establish that the president committed bribery treason or high crimes and misdemeanors tench taken Office Nearly 3 years ago President Trump has consistently and intentionally divided this country when the president withheld military aid to vulnerable nuke ukraine he sought to sabotage our elections after all the drama the majority has not found a single shred of evidence only 2nd 3rd 4th hand information i cant stop thinking about. The cost to our country not just the impeachable offenses but the Collateral Damage of a president who uses power like a weapon against his own people. The debate now getting on the way some already celebrating namely anchors on c. N. N. Have been comforting the saying today trumps poised to be the 3rd u. S. President to be impeached also reported Top Democrats and House Speaker nancy pelosi has told Party Members not to gloat too much. When really i was. Named so i mean while hundreds of activists have been demonstrating outside the Capitol Building that chanting nobodys above the law 600. Have been reported across the country investigative journalist Dave Lindorff says that the u. S. Lawmakers the debates only an opportunity to gain political points. And i think this is all a foregone conclusion and its posturing by the 2 sides to their constituents generally what happens in congress is pretty boring and people dont watch it its very you know only place you can see it is on c. Span and nobody watches that this is a big opportunity especially for minor. Members of congress who arent you know dont have. Committees and stuff to make a speech and to. Know that their own district people are going to see the you know clips of this in their campaigns so yeah its a its an opportunity for lesser known people to get on t. V. For free. The pressure of the voters especially those representatives that come from pro trump states and could disappoint their own supporters at the moment breaks down the impeachment case. Democrats see launching these proceedings as a huge victory they say donald trump has betrayed the whole country but the whole country doesnt agree the country is split and americans dont seem to care for partisan squabbles and many have become more critical of the democrats in recent months even within the house of representatives 18 democrats are bucking the party line and say they will vote against impeachment they argue that months before the 2020 alexion this doesnt look good for the democrats we are broke there are no like i work our you getting here knowing how to drive and i dont see that our your. Are all these factors combined to make some democrats very nervous and donald trump seems to be emphasizing the fears on the other side of the aisle any democrat that votes for the sham will be voting to sacrifice the House Majority their dignity and their career. Another fear hanging over the democrats is that they wont be able to actually remove donald trump from office after all republicans have a pretty solid majority in the senate so whats the plan well call up even more witnesses during the impeachment trial in the senate how on such a weighty matter could we avoid hearing this could we go forward without hearing it i havent seen a single good argument about why these witnesses shouldnt testify with these documents be produced unless the president has something to hide. And his supporters want that information. But who knows if these tactics will actually pay off remember the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings the democrats called witness after witness after witness and the republicans seem to have been the big winners then these Sexual Assault allegations and heated rhetoric didnt win the democrats any points as the 2020 alexion edged nearer democrats stand to possibly lose pretty big from this whole impeachment fiasco after all the trouble is actually driven from office the red state in the rust belt base of Trump Supporters wont be pleased animosity between the 2 sides could reach a critical juncture and if they fail they could face ridicule for dragging the country through a pointless procedure wasting money and wasting time so what exactly are the democrats trying to accomplish by impeaching donald trump to quote an old american saying after wonder are the democrats perhaps cutting off their nose in order to spite their face. R. T. New york. One person is dead and 2 injured feeling a stabbing at a Shopping Center in the us state of Oregon Police say the suspect has been detained however the still a Large Police Presence in the area the condition of those hospitalized at this point unclear will report any further details when they become available. Public trust in the b. B. C. Hers think and the knock with new polls showing deep bias concerns over the broadcasters coverage of the recent u. K.

B. C. Was criticised by those on the left and the right over its coverage of the general election there are some have even suggested theyre reporting contributed to labors crushing defeat of a site one reporter talking about Boris Johnson winning the majority he so deserves and its believed he meant to say he so desires that the b. B. C. Is election i dont care has defended his only right look at it and the stakes are still trying to unite the broadcaster itself has issued a statement refuting all claims of price we delivered almost ambitious coverage ensuring it was fair and proportionate over the course of the campaign we stand by our journalism will continue to make got own editorial decisions and report without fear or favor well such criticism isnt new the broadcaster has also been accused of being anti breaks it but is apparent bias just personal interpretation of the b. B. C. s guidelines say it doesnt require absolute neutrality on every issue though is committed to do impartiality which reflects a range of perspectives but as its funding relies on license payers with a range of perspectives and different ideas of impartiality apparently you cant please half of the people all of the time. The stone in other words is award employees of the local offshoot of the Russian News Agency sport mick if they dont cut ties with the Parent Company faced criminal prosecution with the story heres arties nick youre it. And sputnik editor in chief have described the action from thailand as arbitrary and now planned seek advice from the un the o. S. C. And other International Organizations but what they describe as an unprecedented violation of freedom of speech and this comes after the owner of the office where. It was based to broke the lease contracts following pressure from police now employees are also said to have received letters from the Police Department and the Border Control threatening criminal proceedings if they continue to work with. The agency in the new year now the move has been justified by the estonian or thirtys by citing european sanctions from 2014 the agency however did not appear on any such sanctions list the agencys press service has since responded with feeling that it is based on powell problems whilst operating in the country take a listen we consider the actions. To be. Such a National Organizations the un the council of europe. Are demanding the proper amount of the unprecedented case of violation of freedom of speech in recent years and measures to ensure the right of all journalists to carry out their professional work to speaking back in november the editor in chief of Margarita Simonyan said that the news agency had received more pressure in a stonier than anywhere else in the world she details how employees had been intimidated by Security Services even had their Bank Accounts frozen and estonian banks that did service the agency have frozen all accounts since then so meanwhile the sea is the 4th nears the executive director plans to raise the issue with the russian president ial cumin Rights Council so needless to say this is an issue that the agency is not taking lying down in the britain journalist martin summers believes the threats by the thirtys are politically motivated. I think its a Political Action quite clearly and its related to the kind of pressures and tensions that are in the International System at the moment in which stone mirrors plays a key role theres a big issue in the in general about what is legitimate freedom of speech i mean in the in the general election here just as of about the b. B. C. And its role and whether it was biased in favor of the government. But also of course youve got private newspapers and private broadcasters who are openly causality zone now is that acceptable or loss if you think that during the American Revolution there were lots and lots of People Publishing stuff which was very un see the British Government should that have been burned sure the winsome control over it things or wider issues but i think thats all i mean whats happened here in the stone year is to do with the possibility of the negotiators solution in ukraine and the dislike of that by some elements within the a stony and stubborn. British Prime Minister who has found itself in the firing line after parents were angered by changes to the wording of traditional Christmas CarolsWhitehall Primary School in the south east of england has redacted several carols and placing for example little lord with baby boy jesus critics say the change is a myth the whole point of the celebration some parents have reacted negatively. If he was just a baby boy named jesus there wouldnt be a celebration in the 1st place hes our lord and savior and king of all kings thats the whole point its also a tradition is taking away the traditions of the country i believe my children have been discriminated against and they have been denied the freedom to fully express their Faith Christian belief and tradition of being secretary rice and silenced in the name of inclusion and Political Correctness the words lord jesus are about the central message of christmas which is that god is with us in jesus to put it very simply thats what christmas is about. The schooling questions as it promotes British Values including tolerance of those so of different faiths and beliefs its defended the move by saying that some students didnt attend last year is because of their religious beliefs and the school wants to include all peoples in the festive period discussed issue with india from Christian Concern and social commentator mo outside. Christianity and the whole reason why we celebrate Christian Christmas is because jesus was born as a human being and yet it was god as well and came down and its an incredible thing to think that god became a human being but thats what actually happened and thats what were celebrating here and i wanted to remove that reference as well as jesus being king and jesus being savior if we dont have those things what are we celebrating i think its a massive distortion lets be quite clear jesus wasnt god he was our greed from a theological perspective not agree he was a mighty messenger a prophet there is very little theological evidence the public space and the educational space is one which is secular it does not mean it is bereft of theology or education of belief or conscience but is inclusive of it so if we want to have Standing Advisory Councils and religious education that include all strains of all walks of life of humanism as well and atheism are people who want to come in there with so of more free n. G. s they are included nowadays and the question is whether children should be free to opt out from an itty bitty whereas mary jesus a baby jesus and all the question is not decided on in a stable which isnt true i think that sets the parents for the fix or composition i think they could cover walks if they wanted to theyre really so upset about people saying jesus or that they have to not even be in the same presence theres something to talk about there why are they so upset about people saying jesus is lord i cant even go watson and observe it you know and so i think i want to discuss that with them but ultimately i want to respect their rights if they want to opt out of it they cannot sound of it another person should be made for that the head teacher has seen that she has had 60 people who last year opted out from religious services worshipful activities and under the education act collective worship is wholly or broadly of a christian tradition but it doesnt have to be a particular question is not what they did i was out thats not a commercial you want to opt out no none of that the question you know youll just go to the car see the question is whether you should tell us the wording if its not what people should opt out everyone agrees that theyre not out. Why not as my only reason i dont have one place is not a question of myself whether she use the word of traditional carols to remove to keep a leaf of christianity and turn it into something thats not christian after all thats the question islam at its best is the completion of gods revelation we are not here to supersede christians we have to live alongside people and one another and in a modern Secular Society in the educational space we need to have a plural system where everybody is welcome this is the same old tired arguments that some so. How do you know migrants are when you when you have a situation that was a christianity or not your station is not welcome youre saying belief and saying is the word so much as i places youll discuss it although we can see all of what hes doing and follow or itll say thats of christianity youre the one thats being intolerant here because youre saying they shouldnt saying the word this is a law thats the its all an attitude here. In whats become something of a christmas tradition in russia over the last 5 years president putins about to face a grilling from the Media Thursday sees his annual press conference and if the past is anything to go by the last for hours in the trunk it takes a look at. Christmas is just around the corner so probably stocking up with gifts is the challenge that is on everyones mind right now well unless you are a journalist with a badge that gives you access to a very special event this thursday the big ad you will. Q. And a well for such reporters the number one challenge is to get noticed and to somehow leave a sea of colleagues behind by the way if you thought that it all happens behind the famous walls over there in this case youre wrong welcome to moscows World Trade Center this is where very soon the q. And a will begin now let me explain how it works mr putin will be sitting at a table lone in front of a massive audience holding up black cards for 5 years ive been using this nice little r. T. Logo a bit further on to the president s left his press secretary usually he is the one who chooses who goes next but sometimes mr putin picks someone out himself and these are the kind of moments we always watch out for if you let them do is complain of their ice or a Woman Holding a sign that says by by ok go for it turn the heat up. Oh my god sorry with age comes eyesight issues this should be had these are just translation difficulties i scared everyone my sign today but actually it says putin but by which means grandfather says so what are the chances of getting picked 29 things press or sets a record a total of 1895 journalists taken part over the last 7 years Vladimir Putin had the time to answer an average of 58 questions per q. And a so ive done the math the chances are about 3 percent only 3 percent that you get to ask a question not the best of all odds but. The longest event lasted for 4 hours and 40 minutes and usually its never less than 3 several hours of constantly jumping on your chair waving your black card trying to stand out from the crowd and get the president s attention ill tell you what thats quite an experience anyway do stay tuned for the show because it could really shake things up a little bit before the holidays from pushing the stock markets up or down to causing a real geopolitical stir just one example it is right in that building that florida are p
