The Palestinian Authority. Thousands of palestinian workers are returning to their work in israel after a agreement has been made to allow them to go there and stay there for a couple of weeks this has been a daily commute for many workers but after the outbreak of coverage 19 an agreement has been made for them to stay in israel a similar agreement was made a couple of weeks ago but some of those workers said that they couldnt find suitable accommodation so they came back according to this agreement around 40000 palestinian workers are expected to cross into israel on sunday and monday they are workers in the agriculture industry and construction sectors they are important for the israeli economy and theyre also important for the Palestinian Economy they generate around 2 and a half 1000000000. 00 into the palestinians weak economy every year so its been a tough decision for the Palestinian Authority to make on the one hand around 74 percent of infractions have come from workers and those around them but at the same time theyre crucial for the economy that has already taken a heads because of closures because of covered 900. 00 on the way here weve passed through 2 palestinian checkpoints manned by Palestinian Security forces and they said that theyre only allowing entry to those who have originated permits and they can prove that they can stay in israel for a month now work spectating those workers to come back in 3 weeks or so in time for the islamic holiday over at the footer and this is going to be the real test for palestinians they said their movement is going to be coordinated with the Palestinian Authority to ensure that they dont spread infections if and so its going to be a challenge for the Palestinian Authority which has already managed to kind of control the outbreak of course as 90. More than 40 people have been killed during a prison riot in venezuela the protests started over a demand for relatives to be allowed to deliver food the military says soldiers opened fire on a group of armed prisoners last prison and portugese a stage riots in latin americas overcrowded prisons have been increasing as corona virus restrictions are put in place well ecuador is trying to step up testing as it struggles to contain its outbreak more than 20 7000. 00 people there have contracted the virus and more than 1300. 00 have died the International Monetary fund has approved 643000000. 00 worth of imagine see a half of the states in the u.

If. Good. Lord. Still. We are at war. Im responsible for the deployment of thousands of Young Americans to battle in a distant land. Somewhere. And some will be killed. And so i tell you what a cute sense of the costs of armed conflict. Filled with difficult questions about the relationship between war and peace and our effort to replace one with the other. That we. Know since if we go the 2nd. Time wasnt something i had almost. I need to make it all. The most interesting. There were 5 months in a world war one both sides were in trenches they were just mass slaughter across the landscape men were standing up sleeping they were in their own feces and their dead comrades were sitting there no mans land they couldnt even get them and bring the bathtub area. It was Christmas Eve and a german high command sent them Christmas Trees it was like a stage shot all of a sudden across the german front you saw these little Christmas Trees lighting up and then the allies were silent night being sung by the germans and started applauding. And then all of a son a couple of guys on both sides get out of the trenches and start walking toward each other. And expected any minute to pull back with machine guns or you know and nothing. And within 2 hours we were walking about and talking and it was nothing like. Hundreds get out of the trenches then thousands get out of the trenches. And they embraced each other a 100000. 00 men. Both of them as that we could see as graeme attack that the west memphis talking shaking hands exchanging names addresses after the war wrecked one another. About it back in your trenches you know. The generals be i mustve seen it and got a bit suspicious so what they did they gave all this for about 3 of guns behind us to fire on officers fire their revolvers at the japanese. Us not stopping their war again or we were questioned. This was a war to end all wars. This was a war to make the world safe for democracy. At least 21000. 00 new millionaires were made in the u. S. With billions and billions of dollars would be piled up a few. Initial makers shipbuilder meatpackers. And let us not forget the bankers who finance the great war. To turn blood into gold. And their profits were secret as they were. All of them are looking ahead to or. I stand before you tonight in my red star chiffon evening gown. Based softly made up and my fair hair gently way. This extraordinary deal between the United Kingdom and saudi arabia in which Ronald Reagan wanted to sell the saudis billions and billions dollars worth of equipment. Stopped it and congress wouldnt approve it because they feared saudi would threaten israel so Ronald Reagan handed the deal with or effectively to his political soulmate Margaret Thatcher un soon enough and there was. A very tough act to follow. When we stumbled on the saudi arms. Deal we really started to stumble on a central feature of british politics over the last 30 years. Has been at the heart of many of the great world events. I was fish to see him when i was 5 minutes because he brought me extraordinary. She informed us she considers. Friends and would be willing to support the king their mother whatever the kingdom and the discussion from there on Everything Else was going to get he explained to mrs thatcher this was a deal with saudi arabia and therefore things were done differently. They wanted 43000000000. 00 worth of weapons that was 6000000000. 00. Homes in commission. The fos majority of most people understand its bribes. Well continue to Work Together against the Turkish Press through the way of life pacifist. One day i started writing and it was a man to look at it coming im actually he said ive been working for a travel company and we had a kind of slush fund we used to distribute to saudis and other arabs when they came to britain for be all to help the path of arms deals. And they tell these extra interest stories that when the saudi military officers would come along he would present them with canteens of cut 3 that was something that they liked another thing they liked was girls so he would take about the town and get them girls. To be honest it seemed like quite small beer payments made some of them from rather on as manic activities and gaming chips david talks about cooldowns that sort of thing theres only 2 things that count in business my friend money and sex the rest you can write as much as you like is absolute garbage you can measure weapon beautiful the president s secretary. Because theyre more destructive to the secretary of the what the hell youre talking about. And that is sometimes all that is you need. To use and thats going to agency cold launches because of the specialties of the chief of staff of the army like blong did so because. We had their secretary of the embassy come and review the photos she said i want this one i want this one i with this one that when this one i had the girls i arrived one day before and i said girls i know you will be paid handsomely for this but do me a favor if you get any people thought that is relevant please bring your cross because i could use it and for each interesting information i will give another 2000 euro bonus so with 60 grand i signed the contract with 3000000 so it wasnt bad deal. I met my phone rang again. It was another whistleblower and he said you have no idea what it is that youre getting into here. And he said this slush fund is much much bigger than you realize our job was to look after the really high level people those who used to come to england who were being bribed essentially by be people of the level of the head of the Saudi Air Force who was a royal prince. We would fly the 2 of us angelicas and they would buy cars dresses and it wasnt shopping like you would i would think in the end when they gather together all the shopping we would charge an entire jumbo jet to fly it all back to saudi arabia it was in the attempt to try and trace through the Bank Accounts who the ultimate beneficiary saw that the case became really very serious is the trail appeared to need to wards senior members of the saudi royal family. The most outrageous example was that maybe 80 i dont want it to go that way with prince bandar but one point i made him a present of a huge commercial airliner all of his very. Which he probably have painted in the gray and silver colors of the Dallas Cowboys were his favorite American Team i used to fly around in that quite cheerfully. Case centered on establishing the ultimate beneficiary of exceptionally knowledge amounts of money paid by big share space for consultancy said to see. If theres evidence that mark fashion this is that your son got 12000000 in cash for his work as a fixer. This is started i know. This is who. Dont want it its a really beautiful weapon its also made if you want to sell on the market and youre looking probably about 3500 euros and why you keep it in the house because it was longer and you can do that legally. Yes or no but you know more or less you cant as long as its in the house. It is oh sure the cut of the name but. I dont know the use of money i dont mind paying bribes to politicians its part of the deal the thing about politicians is that theyre very much like prostitutes but only more expensive. Polities is it dated by the whims of the arms industry politicians are nothing more than sales reps by their friends that have as much power as a middle ranking executive and want to martin a dent of the day they do with the tolls. When an executive goes to bribe a foreign official he says to himself look ive taken a lot of risk to take this 5000000. 00 that im paying to the Prime Minister of x. Y. Z. Who makes an arrangement with Prime Minister of x. Y. Z. Ill hand over the 5000000 could you take half of that 5000000 and you said that the following bank account in churchill and wilshere in the floor of. The 1st time an executive does that and he collects 2500000. 00 he says wow this is a Good Business to be and within moments of that realization he is now no longer in the business of selling airplanes hes in the business of selling bribes and he is now scouring the world for somebody to find to bribe. We. Had to feed. The city can. Choose to eat. I. Had to do. Some what it isnt. Is out exception. I play. Each child to clean. Each careful city. Formed by. More. I. Mean. Im in the phone rang again. This was somebody who said you have no idea what youre getting into he said this whole be a thing is much much bigger it goes right to the very top what he had was something that you never see is this swiss bank records of international covert payments going all over the world he showed me how be a set of a whole system with lloyds bank under which they channeled secret payments into a British Virgin islands offshore Company Called red diamond from red diamond the money went into this guys Swiss Bank Account and he then used it to distribute to the local politicians taking a big chunk of himself of course you know i can assure you we dont we and i believe most companies all to the business of labor labors policy as you suggest above sums up what they do employees of government it is just cool the way the business is done. We were actually able to publish what was the most dangerous story that prince bandar had been given not just the plane but over the years a total of 1000000000 pounds we did not invent. Corruption i mean i mean he would have been and they had hanky panky and they had to go down to edit so i mean this is this is the. Prince of state run and a friend. How do you agree. Of course none of us are greedy its only the other fellow whos greed. This the world runs on individuals pursuing their circulators. All those people who believe that greed violence etc these primal socalled primal instincts other religions things and Everything Else is a social construction theyve lost their mind and for the last 50 years at least policy has been made based on the assumption of greed and its ruined the wouldnt. Catch hundreds believe there is no nature of society so you have to nurture individual is i dont accept that at all i think there are very many good policy initiatives for creating societies. And the beirut there saying i look to you. As a comment isnt a k 47 kalashnikov. A society that decides that the bulk of its budget is going to go to arms manufacturing building of a military eccentric the have made a moral decision that militarism is more important then the creation of wellbeing for the population. This is not the world i want to live in i want to live in the real world and the real world is peopled by real emotions including love and generosity. My god if you want is freedom the freedom of human beings of individuals to pursue their own sadies i think what they term freedom means is economic license and economic license and those who control property and those who control capital has in fact been a threat not only to equality but a threat to the freedom of peoples all over the world and not only in europe and the United States but nafta in asia and in latin america i want you to name me any society in which you have any large measure of that freedom where capitalism and Free Enterprise has not been the predominant mechanism of the Free Enterprise system has spread through the force of on some notes on through wielded by governments that was Government Intervention under the name of the Free Enterprise system but a Government Intervention which destroyed the cretins of many people not least of which are the people of chile. From the 1950 s. All the way through the 1970 s. The cia and the u. S. Military were engaged in covert actions throughout central mad america throughout africa really throughout the world where they were assassinating populist leaders they were backing up right Wing Military juntas funding and arming death squads like the contras in nicaragua or battalion 316. 00 and under us and i and there were these spate of assassinations across the globe. In countries like mine people have been killed to be quiet to know that any day any time youre going to be killed you dont know how but its coming. We were fighting in the league and still we are fighting you know body guards mines that dont want to work going inclusiveness they just take a. The action is not only about taking from india but taking from the people. Even to dreams take on the next. The last half of what is called the cold war i dont know it to be a very hard war for many parts of the wood. From the standpoint of want it badly and cause the victims or what i think of really as of people trying to make their own future is. There was an attempt in the global south to create an alternative imagination for people. But in the early 1970 s. This attempt was destroyed and it was stopped through a real genuine attempt by the global lot to take over the institutions of the world including the world bank the i. M. F. Souls not simply that the bible of the south was incapable of carrying forward their dreams. It was a very strong with these dreams were assassinated. Its not just the one off killings that corey other cool there. Its the entire dream that had to be killed. To be sure to do less than to be a book. But arent going to or much else. To live by a symbol are any mere. Mortals who are a loser will be because im the only indian. Look see you and so does he not one dust got to put some on the most never me but hes. When i sat kind of to his year. The holy your men team you leave your god to what are the salmon. You know be your command be. Decent and fit you have them and even. Each of them go to micio.

The route the or the or. How can i missed out here today and are with the headlines on aljazeera a dozen crossings in israel have been reopened following an agreement with the Palestinian Authority that move allows thousands of palestinian neighbors to return to walk but there are fears of health risks because of the corona virus outbreak. Need to abraham is in bethlehem and she reports that despite those risks the workers are an important source of income for the Palestinian Authority. Round 2 thirds of infractions imposed fine have come from workers and those around them so its been a very difficult decision for the Palestinian Authority to try and strike a balance between Public Health and the safety of the palestinian citizens but also to kind of maintain the economy that has taken the hits from covered 19 were talking about 2 and a half 1000000000. 00 of revenues that these workers bring into the Palestinian Economy each year and theyre also important for israels economy more than 40 people have been killed during a prison riot in venezuela the protests started over demands for relatives to be allowed to deliver food the military says soldiers opened fire on a group of armed prisoners prison in portugal is a state riots in latin americas overcrowded prisons have been increasing as coronavirus restrictions are put in place well half of the states in the u.

More than 1800. 00 families in kenya have fled to their homes after a river best its banks during heavy rain the government says at least 116. 00 people have died and flash floods and landslides well now its back to shadow wild. Ruins that speak of a rich history and the ones ranged from this part thats more than 600 years ago this is the old town of che to the door to the sacred value of the past and to the century of much beach ancient traditions are still being embraced here today that may change less than 2 kilometers away bulldozers are never leave the ground for a controversial new airport thats expected to shuttle millions of tourists to Historic Sites the airport shouldnt be in the sacred following she sure has culture and traditions for thailand but the big powers want to because its the doing much of. The beat and so kind of who is poor is divided down and i would be in favor of an airport if more people come in and make business with us but only if they preserve our environment and our room and. Some farmers like in your case they believe their lives may change is to Bring Development to our community and country. Joint hearings of the House Elect Committee to investigate covert arms transaction with iran. And the select committee on secret military assistance to iran in the nicaraguan opposition will come to Order Congress began to address what they perceive to be an insanely out of control series of covert actions with little to no congressional oversight we have been supplying lethal weapons to terrorist nation involving the Us Government in military activities in direct contravention of the law and lying to the congress now i believe that democracy cannot survive that kind of abuse. And people like dick cheney and Donald Rumsfeld who are relatively new to government at the time did not like when congress had we need to step in and confront the National Security state and whats become a very out of control kill program cheney then went on during the reagan years in the eightys to serve in congress and when the iran contra scandal broke out into the open cheney did not Like Congress being involved with anything that the executive branch was doing. And you had this is utter scandal that emanated from the highest echelons of power and the Reagan Administration was acting as though it had nothing to do with it ive told you all that i know and you know the truth of the matter is for quite some long time all that you knew was what i told you. You can do with me. These. Are witnesses morning is mr Robert Mcfarlane the former National Security adviser to the president. And his mcfarlane we welcome you to the committee and we look forward to your testimony. Mr mcfaul on. Did you have any discussion about the possibility. Of in effect farming out the whole contra support operations in nicaragua to another country which will call country run yes thats correct and did you in fact succeed in obtaining money from another country. Which well call country toe. Thats correct. I had the practice meeting periodic li who was the official from the country true about the systems we could provide some cases arms sales. And he intended to provide a contribution of a 1000000. 00 per months to the contras through the end of the year. You have no problems working with the cia we have no problem working with the United States government and unless the cia does not work for the State Government then i think we have a bigger problem there are many cases or some americans are questioning that as you know well thank heaven both the case and was not in connection with saudi arabia. I think that there was a substantial shadow government trying to run for if they actually managed a. These events have been characterized by some pretty strong statements weve heard talk of a grave constitutional crisis and even been treated to talk about a coup in the white house not only does cheney sort of defend iran contra but he argues that iran contra is actually a model for how the u. S. Should be conducting its National Security policy he is a radical subscriber to this notion of the unitary executive effectively what youre doing is saying on certain parts of american policy we dont have a democracy we have a dictatorship. As a matter of fact i was. Very definitely involved in the decisions about support to the Freedom Fighters my idea to begin with. In my opinion there is no justification for further restrictions on the power and flexibility a future president. Of the National Security lead today is mostly composed of people who hit the revolving door multiple times during their last nomination of richard b. Cheney to be secretary of the friends is the make a name for themselves in the private industry and then they come into the go. This revolving door keeps the National Security leak very small and very wealthy. And increasing its wealth as it goes up the chain to the extent that then when you get to the top as cheney did then you can become a member of the plutocracy that runs the country to this is impressive crowd the haves and the have more. Money commissioned a study by halliburton to find out how much more of the Defense Department could be privatized proud to serve our troops palaver in which he laid to get this 1000000. 00 contract and of course returned a verdict that oh mr secretary lots more of it can be privatized. Dick cheney leaves the Defense Department and goes and heads halliburton himself and he spends the entire 990 s. Building up the war empire well if were going to talk about star wars we might as well invite darth vader and i. Am. Happy to accept. That he comes back into power as Vice President and then they start hiring halliburton to you know in advance even if u. S. Troops going into iraq. An eloquent was being deployed to the gulf its hard to look at this and not say these guys had a very Long Term Plan for how they were going to increase the powerful infrastructure of private companies. What weve essentially done is to create a network of corporations that have the fire power of small nation states that could you know overthrow some small governments around the world. In essence we in the United States have privatized the ultimate Public Function war. And i want to get out of the market right now even obamas have got the time with them like food. You know munitions as good as got to know so by the things you know you do think. Its just. You can eat. In iraq the f. 16 is an f. 18 s were firing 6000000 dollars within seconds coming back we army and going up again. Theres no hope anymore because theres always a small kabul of people for or really really Good Business. It doesnt matter that were losing the war in afghanistan albert could care less its good for them good for profit. No you actually know the real thing. But i want to share the words or the. Bad luck i was told about oh you were good enough and the odds are your. It is the bit. Where weve undergone a corporate coup detat in slow motion. 35000 lobbyists in washington they write the legislation they write the bills. All it takes is one phone call from somebody on the hill to someone in the pentagon saying hey turn on the dogs the hills out to get our program the guys in the senate are on board we need you to turn on the gucci shoes guys to straighten this thing out the guys been the lobbyist. And what this does is just lock the system up and thats the whole name of the game its its called political engineering and im like Political Science political engineering is real. One of the most important things done or stand it essentially creates what we call a self like an ice cream cone. And its like a petrol motion machine for getting ever increasing Defense Budgets the way we do it is by downplaying the future consequences to start a new weapon we over promised as performance under promise its cost we then systematically spread dollars jobs and profits to as many congressional districts as quickly as possible so that everybody has skin in the game. The people who are invested in this state or people like the largest defense contractor in the world lucky more than they would die before they see. Whats. Going to change the world. Were probably already working. What did martin basically just similar as your last 2 put them to goals you know in all branches of the government and the whole them. And this is a group that make them if youre going to schoolboys. Fiscal year 9992. 3 trillion missing fiscal year 2001 point one trillion missing the pentagon has claimed year after year that the reason it cant account for the money is because its computers dont communicate with each other one trillion 1. 00 bills stacked high would reach nearly 68000 miles into space one 3rd of the way to the moon. I got a phone call from the f. B. I. Saying that i was a target of a death threat and thats what happens when you go against the big boys who has the contracts today to make those systems communicate with each other and how much have the taxpayers paid for them there are times that corporations do things they should not do in which case they tend to be suspended for some period there are times then that corporations can get out of the penalty box it is you know any was never in the penalty box if you could proceed to my 2nd question please the 2nd question. I forgot what the 2nd question was. In the vigil was operating in the shadows and never having their names called are able to leverage the power of the military and the Foreign Policy apparatus for their own personal pick uni ery in. Whats now whos the enemy how do we justify. This play is all this bullshit what better our new other me. In. The war on terror. Building to them might also lend yellow mutinies us our unity back home by the end of the city tells me. That id have a home but thats no but he back years seen by the romans to be dorian out of the many guys who were no further than your let the analysis. Which you see being this is tony dances and similarly im going to see mean you know better you dont know either our foot on the deal or. I have a nary doubt. Less it would be i mean are even they left our money earned to have at it i am in a fabulous father motherless delusion on my c. V. Of a Civil Service and i knew him as he goes for me you. Isnt see him from the mental demand your home on a c. C. You. Get the wheel and i nak tendency only get a 2nd bit earlier like. I bethink at the most basic level when we realize how weve entered into. A permanent state of war. Like would often proponents of. Counterterrorism on a global scale think of as a long war but a War Without EndSomething Like that. And i think that what weve accepted is a political regime that is stained by fear is a very old very old political tactic i mean machiavelli asin the prince is it better for the prince to be feared or loved and his conclusion is because the locus of fear the the source of fear resides in him in the prince it can be constant for his rule whereas the locus of love resides in the people its in their power and so for them could be constant and long lasting i mean so much already opens a question that he probably doesnt provide us the answer with what would it mean to have our social arrangement like the basis of our social choices. Be founded on love. I dont think one has to justify the cost in nature of the National Security state one just has to keep the people fearful enough to support it but what i want to bring to your attention today is the potentially much more sinister nexus between iraq and the 0 kind of terrorist network. Every word in that speech was gone over by the director of Central Intelligence and his Deputy Director after so it was nothing that i made up it was nothing that i stuck in there and in fact some people tried to stick extra things in there that the Intelligence Community wouldnt verify with multisourcing and i said no powell grabbed me physically which was unlike him and drug me into a space at the cia at langley and said throw all the material in my presentation about terrorism out cut it out out this amount this is just within an hour george tenet the director of Central Intelligence made a spectacular bombshell presentation we have just learned from a hollow evill al qaida operative under interrogation about significant contacts between baghdads mukhabarat and al qaida. This was devastating. Heres the director of Central Intelligence telling the secretary of state that he has interrogated evidence well the secretary turned to me and said put it back in. Al qaeda continues to have a deep interest in acquiring weapons of mass destruction as with the story of the car and his network i can trace the story of a senior terrorist operative telling how iraq provided training in these weapons to al qaeda later i learned that that was shake out libby that had to happen just instantly happened it happened months before that he been in water boarded in egypt when he did this no u. S. Personnel were present and he had recanted within a couple of weeks and we never were told about that every statement i make today is backed up by sources solid sources these are not assertions were giving you are facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence we were indisputable we were lied to. At this hour american and Coalition Forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm iraq to free and some people and to defend the world from grave danger as karl rove famously said to this reporter you know you guys are reality based communities we make reality by the time you figured out you know whats wrong with our reality weve moved on the creation of another reality digital cell or cause to come into the possession of Saddam Hussein weapons of mass destruction did the United States sell to him absolutely not. Iran iraq was on such a scale and i was on the iranian side and i went down to the balcony i was actually given a gasket and so let me take the train back right away up to town and the carriages with crimes with iranian soldiers had been gassed someone just cause aggression and one man who was. Reading the koran yourself you put a handkerchief and white blood on his lips. Gradually to cargos became permeated with a sort of 36 miles and i realized it was the smell of the gas they were coughing up from the lungs i was going around the car to a local windows and i test trying to clean the train out of the smell of obviously chemical warfare. After 2003 i was being attacked on radio shows especially from america you know complaining about the American Invasion you proceed on and i said excuse me i was on the train of iranians gassed by the iraqis and the chemical components came from the United States at the very time that you all rumsfeld was meeting saddam you were meeting with Saddam Hussein i think we have some video of that. Of that meeting tell me what was going on during this is why did you get this video from the Iraqi Television is on the Iraqi Television when did they give it to you recently are we back then we dug this out of the c. N. N. Library i see. Isnt that interesting there i am. Our war on terror. Begins with alqaeda. But it does not in. This very phrase war on terror is irrational its like saying. A war on war. When the Serious Fraud office launched its investigation into the crimes that we were covering it turned out that many of these arms deals have been forced through by tony blair personally piece of dirty case you dont sell. And once you start a war. You open a kind of pandoras box you dont control it it controls you. Was being set up my goodness you. Cant. Today there are good terrorists and bad the bad terrorists those in yemen who the United States deems to be a threat the good terrorists those who are in syria the joke here is weve been there before i mean if you consider the of the honest on story they have learned nothing.
