and during the 2020 referendum John Lloyd
is cheer of the all Liberian diaspora

00:17:23
conference this gathering of us today
says the message across the world that

00:17:29
we. Mean Business we are gathered
here today because we want to send

00:17:35
a message to the world that Liberians in
the diaspora mean business I repeat their

00:17:43
brother imagine the fact that this
gathering as involving as it is sends

00:17:49
a message not only to Liberia. It's

00:17:53
a message to the international community
that despite our situation Liberia is

00:17:58
there. For the situation of war still
remember where we came from and we

00:18:05
feel the pain we left behind Michael
Molloy to speak speaking on the economic

00:18:11
benefits of dual citizenship dual citizenship
will create capital for the Liberian

00:18:16
government presently he said diaspora
remittances are helping to keep the

00:18:21
struggling like your economy afloat but
he said currently the Liberian government

00:18:26
does not appear to meet the 3 elements
essential for investment political stability

00:18:31
level of corruption and trust in institutions
Liberia's ambassador to the United

00:18:36
States George Patton urged Liberians
don't support the proposition on doing

00:18:41
citizenship by engaging Liberians in Liberia
some of whom he said skeptical of the

00:18:47
diaspora and dual citizenship but the
ambassador cautioned Liberians in the

00:18:52
diaspora against to engage in activities
that undermine Liberia's fragile peace and

00:18:57
stability indeed. You need the
numbers to achieve dual citizenship

00:19:04
you need to not begin to send your folks
around to Liberia to begin to engage our

00:19:09
people to be fair punishment for the absent
minded guiding as you always seem to

00:19:16
be race we have and issue because for
some of you who bad legal residents or

00:19:22
citizens of other countries who have not
given up on Nigeria that is why this

00:19:27
conference is convening that is why do I
hear people back home during the festive

00:19:33
season and ask to specifically to mention
the fact that some months ago some of our

00:19:39
people in India asked who were trapped
into Will who are religious just to get

00:19:43
people that would be

00:19:44
a wrong idea we must reject and it
clearly didn't take it would be any

00:19:51
activities. I have to think initially

00:19:54
a lot of outside our banks instability.
Will not let me read it any big

00:20:01
challenge attrition our country in fact
will be most likely put to trade images

00:20:08
of instability and exacerbating the current
conflict the delegates also discussed

00:20:14
the issue of setting up

00:20:16
a war crimes court to address the alleged
injustices during Liberia's 14 year civil

00:20:21
war counsellor Jerome Verdier former chair
of Liberia's Truth from Reconciliation

00:20:25
Commission said there can be no true peace
in Liberia without just Hades. It would

00:20:31
appear all some would want to do it p.s.

00:20:34
If we have it to beat us whether we
should have war crimes. It is not it's

00:20:41
a beaut but we have resistance by people
who are in the foreach who want to benefit

00:20:48
from Koresh a community that believes that

00:20:51
a war crime school should be
established that period is no g.p.h.

00:20:56
To citizens of being clear about if they
won the war from school to be one justice

00:21:02
and justice is not just for I was. With
Team victims for justice it is for victims

00:21:09
of. Victims orders for example
there are issues. That need to

00:21:16
be editors given to brokerages and then
you became victims of it and they have

00:21:21
issues that need to be addressed
and the establishment of

00:21:25
a mechanic or branch where there
is all of these issues and believe

00:21:32
we could generate

00:21:33
a reconciliation and peace. We
want to consider for what is. What

00:21:41
is finished Generally
we can see that it is

00:21:45
a signal. To see that. As
fitting given to putting

00:21:52
Liberia we know that. A. Lasting peace.

00:21:59
Until you can make sure Issue
11 years and reconciliation

00:22:06
in bus of the patent Thursday delegates
to take into consideration the arguments

00:22:10
for and against the establishment of

00:22:12
a war crimes court in Liberia. Did you did
the bank robbery think of the corner as

00:22:18
many nightmarish on the one hand dad
individuals by nature tradition.

00:22:26
And those who have suffered from the
fumes the thief justice in going to get

00:22:33
a good job from the new clients due to civil
war money coming off the mountain and

00:22:39
then it was I don't like me going to
the street and have. Restored both

00:22:47
and can not be deceived on peace with

00:22:49
a book publishing even walk yet meaning
I believe that it wouldn't ever

00:22:57
come down to women. In my own

00:23:01
a business positions seem credible and
think you've never followed up with

00:23:07
a president we have the Senate committee
that would be enough to make this major

00:23:12
figure in

00:23:13
a bank in keeping with the Ticketek to form
the other night between Constitution on

00:23:19
shutting off both Wall and economic
crimes court my sense is that yeah having

00:28:32
Hello there today is Monday
December the 9th and this is v.o.a.

00:28:35
As international edition I'm Lori London
in Washington coming up North Korea again

00:28:40
ramps up its nuclear ambitions as well
as the rhetoric between its leader and

00:28:44
President Trump I think the nuclear they
should offer work for sure you know that

00:28:50
is an attempt by him to buy time and to fly
recognition which certainly got marking

00:28:57
6 months of protests hundreds of thousands
of people packed the streets of Hong

00:29:01
Kong Sunday. After

00:29:03
a year of monumental accolades Taylor
Swift heads toward the holidays with

00:29:07
a song for the season it's all in
today's international edition. North

00:29:14
Korea carried out what its state media
says is a very important test at it so

00:29:19
a satellite launch site on Sunday that
is the rocket testing ground that u.s.

00:29:24
Officials once said North Korea had promised
to close the reported test comes as

00:29:29
a year end deadline that North Korea has
imposed nears warning it could take

00:29:34
a new path amidst all denuclearization talks
with the United States the case c.n.a.

00:29:39
News report called it

00:29:41
a successful test with great significance
but did not specify what was tested

00:29:47
tensions have been ramping up as the
deadline approaches and North Korea calls on

00:29:51
the United States to change its policy
of insisting Pyongyang's unilateral

00:29:56
denuclearization and it is also demanding
relief from punishing sanctions my

00:30:02
colleague Steve Miller asks for his Bennett
senior defense analyst with the Rand

00:30:06
Corporation if this is actually

00:30:07
a change in what the new North has
been doing my sense it's been that the

00:30:13
nuclearization talks of been off the table
since Singapore Kim Jong un is perceived

00:30:18
that he didn't need to give up anything
by my ass to not since he offered to

00:30:23
denuclearize in March of. Last year he's
roughly doubled his nuclear destructive

00:30:29
potential of his nuclear arsenal he's not
surrendered to single nuclear weapon to

00:30:35
show good faith he's not

00:30:36
a limb unaided any production capability
or even halted production I think the

00:30:42
denuclearization offer was

00:30:44
a sham that it was an attempt by Kim to
buy time and to buy recognition which he

00:30:50
certainly got so what is the next avenue
of opportunity to address North Korea's

00:30:56
growing nuclear arsenal and growing
missile capabilities I think we have to

00:31:01
recognize that Kim Jong un has provided
the perfect context he keeps insisting on

00:31:08
corresponding measures well in my mind
corresponding measures to doubling his

00:31:12
nuclear destructive potential is increasing
the sanctions now takes the u.n.

00:31:18
In most cases to do anything serious
there but the thing we haven't done very

00:31:23
seriously at this point is stop the ship
to ship illicit transfers and I think

00:31:27
that's the kind of thing that either
unilaterally working in the Los flash West

00:31:34
or working with the Chinese in that area
we wouldn't have to stop every ship would

00:31:39
only have to stop some selected
ones and freeze them to cause

00:31:43
a lot of that activity to grind to

00:31:46
a halt and that would I believe really
hurt North Korea so I think there are some

00:31:52
actual things ssion related
activities that we already have

00:31:56
a legal basis for that we couldn't issue

00:31:58
a Us president down from signal that
military options have never really been off

00:32:02
the table but this is also coming at

00:32:04
a time when cars sharing and burden sharing
discussions are underway with South

00:32:10
Korea and the United States has
put forward a report of Ask

00:32:14
a $5000000000.00 that South Korea has
essentially balked at what kind of situation

00:32:20
does that create in terms of

00:32:22
a response either from the United States
or South Korea. Should there be any more

00:32:26
provocative actions from North Well I think
that well President Trump is asking for

00:32:32
more money from the Pfaff grants what
he's really concerned about is the future

00:32:37
he's worried that great power conflict is
potentially far more likely in the future

00:32:42
and none of us neither South Korea nor the
United States have invested in producing

00:32:48
military capabilities to adequately deter
that threat so I think what he's trying

00:32:54
to do is to cause both of our countries to
increase our capabilities now he's asked

00:33:00
for it as burden sharing but it's not clear
to me whether that's an absolute demand

00:33:05
or whether that's

00:33:07
a way of saying look we both need to be
increasing our capabilities you need to put

00:33:12
more money into your capabilities we
need to put more in ours let's work out

00:33:16
a deal for doing that the clock is of
course ticking towards the end of the year

00:33:20
which is what the deadline
Pyongyang has put

00:33:22
a resumption of talks and for
the United States to adopt

00:33:25
a more congenial attitude that Pyongyang
is looking for We've seen the launch and

00:33:30
so hey we've seen some other short range
tests in recent weeks 13 missile launches

00:33:35
this year what do you foresee North Korea
doing in the weeks leading up to December

00:33:41
31st and ultimately January 1st when we
expect yet again to have Kim Jong un's New

00:33:46
Year address you'll remember in 2017 that
President Trump came in and proposed and

00:33:53
started carrying out

00:33:54
a maximum pressure campaign Ironically
that's what Kim Jong un is doing he's doing

00:33:59
an escalated maximum pressure campaign
so he's been gradually increasing the

00:34:04
pressure he began in May with some
missile launches saw that the u.s.

00:34:09
Did not seriously object to those and
therefore has continued the escalation

00:34:15
process with many more missile launches
this year but they have been predominantly

00:34:20
short range and now we expect to see
some longer range missile launches Kim

00:34:25
a way. I'll transition to an i.c.b.m.

00:34:27
Launch probably not until spring or
summer next year after he's done other

00:34:34
intermediate range launches
he may also transition to

00:34:38
a nuclear weapon test we don't know for
sure what is in his plan but it is clearly

00:34:44
intended to increase pressure on the United
States hoping that that pressure alone

00:34:49
rather than offering any form of
serious concession will get the u.s.

00:34:53
To make major concessions to
North Korea and I think from

00:34:57
a political perspective that doesn't stand
well for President Trump he's got to be

00:35:02
prepared to take

00:35:03
a more proactive response to North Korea
does the fact that this may this satellite

00:35:08
test was conducted and so which
was partially dismantled as

00:35:12
a good faith measured by North Korea signal
Pyongyang's willingness to take things

00:35:18
in a new direction and a more forceful
direction they've certainly threatened

00:35:23
a new path which is
interpreted apparently as

00:35:26
a more escalated approach against the United
States so sure they're prepared to do

00:35:31
that but they're prepared to do that
as long as the United States poses no

00:35:36
retaliation or no escalation against
them I think that the key is we are not

00:35:42
taking serious action to deter North
Korea simply talking and saying military

00:35:48
options are on the table is not adequate

On Sunday confirm that
the shooter at a u.s.

00:36:48

Pensacola Florida Friday was

00:36:51
a 20 year one year old Saudi
Air Force officer who was

00:36:55
a student at the naval aviation schools
command at the base the agency says it has

00:37:00
yet to determine the motive for the shooting
spree but it is investigating it as an

00:37:04
act of terrorism the always slot

pledged to fully cooperate with the

00:37:11

injured asked to open fire Friday morning
at the Naval Air I caught him in

00:37:21
Pensacola officials say the 3 were killed
while trying to stop the shooter and that

00:37:27
their action saved lives
of many odds as the f.b.i.

00:37:32
Said Sunday the investigators are still
working to determine the shooter's motive

00:37:36
while there are many reports circulating
regarding the shooter's motivation and his

00:37:42
alleged activities leading to his attack
I can tell you that we are looking very

00:37:49
hard I don't call for his motive and I
would ask for patience so we can get this

00:37:55
right invest. It is also trying to determine
if the Saudi officer acted alone or as

00:38:01
part of the Tatars plot we are as we
do most active shooter investigation

00:38:08
work with the presumption that this was an
act of terrorism. This allows us to take

advantage of investigative techniques that
can help us more quickly identify and

Solomon of Saudi Arabia had called him to

actions of the shooter and that this person
in no way shape or form represents the

00:38:51
feelings of the Saudi people who love
the American people so much news media

00:38:56
reported that the shooter who was also
killed in the incident had hosted

00:39:01
a dinner party days before the shooting
where he showed videos of mass shootings to

Correspondent Ben Thomas reports House
Democrats worked through the weekend

00:41:16
speeding towards articles of impeachment
against President Donald Trump Democrats

00:41:20
say the charges are likely to focus on
abuse of power and obstruction of the

00:41:24
congressional inquiry the case is centered
around President Drum's July 25th phone

00:41:29

disagree and the president was acting on

00:41:50
a sincere longly held view and skepticism
of foreign aid of think he was acting on

00:41:55
concern about Ukraine being the 3rd most
corrupt country in the world he appeared

00:41:58
on A.B.C.'s This Week when Thomas Washington.
Well joining us now to discuss the

00:42:04
arguments and political
pitfalls of impeaching

00:42:07
a president is Claire Finkelstein professor
of law and philosophy at the University

00:42:11
of Pennsylvania Law School Center for
Ethics and the rule of law so thank you for

00:42:15
being with us Professor Republicans say
this is going way too fast and there's

00:42:19
really no justification for the entire
process Democrats on the other hand are

00:42:23
charging that u.s.

00:42:24
Democracy depends on this are they exaggerating
I think it would have been helpful

00:42:29
for them to explain why the rule of
law is so critical to maintaining

00:42:34
a democracy it is critical because if we
won our government by the mere power of

00:42:41
men then those individuals are not constrained
in any way by law what the rule of

00:42:47
law needs but leaving in

00:42:49
a Rule of Law Society means is that power
is constrained at all times by law

00:42:56
so that the exercise of power on the part
of the president on the part of other

00:43:01
executive branch of the shells and even
on the part of Congress takes place

00:43:04
entirely according to rules laws
and moral practices that help

00:43:11
determine what ways people can act and
what ways it is forbidden for them to act

00:43:17
and if you don't have

00:43:18
a mechanism for holding individuals
accountable for violating those laws then you

00:43:23
no longer have a rule of law
therefore you no longer have

00:43:26
a democracy if of the
Republicans claim that this is

00:43:31
a futile effort that the Democrats are going
to vote to impeach it's going to move

00:43:35
into the Senate and the Senate is not going
to vote to remove the President and if

00:43:39
he does in fact or if he doesn't
in fact to get removed then was it

00:43:45
a futile effort that was not worth putting
the country through Democrats are very

00:43:48
worried about that and as you know Democrats
were divided about whether or not it

00:43:53
would be futile if they could not remove
the President in my view it is not futile

00:43:57
because in order to repair our will of law
damage it's necessary to use the legal.

00:44:03
A process like impeachment or in other
cases like conviction that we know that we

00:44:09
are correcting through the process that out
in our constitutional framework damage

00:44:15
that has occurred if we don't impeach in
the face of crimes that this magnitude and

00:44:22
abuse of office of this magnitude then we
are saying that it is permissible for all

00:44:28
3 to

00:44:29
a president to do that if the Democrats are
successful in impeaching the president

00:44:34
even if he is not removed
there is at least

00:44:37
a piece of restoration of the
law in that I don't think with

00:44:43
a future president that if they use the
President for personal and private gain

00:44:50
and that they are cool rot in their motives
in engaging in foreign policy they may

00:44:56
be impeached in another composition of
Congress they may also be removed Clare

South Africa's tax authority
recently destroyed more than a half

00:45:16
a $1000000.00 worth of imported goods
including more than $13000.00 bales of

00:45:21
clothing just as many South Africans are
staring down a tight holiday season and

00:45:26
a sluggish economy from
Johannesburg v.o.a.

00:45:29
Zinnia Powell looks into the logic
behind the move it seems like

00:45:33
a tragedy the destruction of

00:45:35
a veritable mountain of imported clothes
shoes and accessories worth more than half

00:45:40
a $1000000.00 amount of clothes was

00:45:42
a tragedy says Patrick the executive for
customs investigations in the South

00:45:47
African Revenue Service just not in the way
that many South Africans see it we have

00:45:51
noticed over the period of time since
about 2006. 2001 that there has

00:45:58
been

00:45:59
a negative impact which it has was brought
about by. Proliferation of cheap clothing

00:46:06
items into the market which
led to the closure of

00:46:09
a number of ministry. Stems that were
responsible for in brilliant numbers so

00:46:16
many people lost their jobs and those firms
when they closed down we are not able

00:46:21
to create new employment which actually
leads to a spiraling effect of

00:46:27
a number of different ills that this was
cited phrases and so on now for the math

00:46:31
portion of the story so that because long
struggled with high unemployment hitting

00:46:35
an unprecedented level of 29 percent
this year also this year nation's

00:46:40
manufacturing sector shrank by nearly
4 percent what that adds up to for

00:46:44
a lot of struggling South Africans is
outraged that the authorities couldn't just

00:46:48
say give the clothes away or at least let
people have access to cheap clothes many

00:46:53
items the latest hormone says were
perfectly usable they included children's

00:46:57
clothes shoes and blankets Tracy Gilmore
was also familiar with those dismal

00:47:01
numbers when she founded the clothing bank

00:47:03
a business training project in 2010
the nationwide program takes in some

00:47:07
$2000000.00 pieces of unsold or returned
clothing items each year from major South

00:47:12
African retailers but surprisingly she says
she supports destruction of the seized

00:47:17
clothing treats planes that are going to
retail industry create 16000000 jobs and

00:47:22
