Good morning live from Art International aid q its kevin 0 in here with your latest half hour world news update as a level a moscow time 1st then the u. S. Is old an additional 1000 troops to the middle east amid an escalation in tensions with iran washington says the forces are for defensive purposes to address threats in the region i have authorized approximately 1000 additional troops for defensive purposes to address air naval and ground based threats in the middle east we have received credible intelligence on hostile behavior by Iranian Forces and their proxy groups that threaten the United States personnel and interests across the region it comes after u. S. Central command released new images it claims of an iranian crew removing an unexploded mine from a tanker that was attacked last thursday in the gulf of oman while washington is accusing iran of plotting the attack to run vehemently denies all the claims branding americas statements sabotaged diplomacy kaleb open takes a closer look today. U. S. Navy has released photos of the incident that took place thursday in the gulf of oman just off the shores of the Islamic Republic of iran the incident happened and we now have these photos from the United States navy and these photos are in full color and they purport to show the same as what earlier black and white footage released by the pentagon also showed they intend to show essentially we see in the image a speedboat approaching the ship and removing an unexploded limp in mine now this matches the earlier footage and according to the pentagon this shows that iran must be responsible for the attack because they say that the iranian speedboat was on the scene fast enough and removed the unexploded limpet mine with such precision that therefore that proves that somehow iran must have been responsible for the attack this is what weve heard from u. S. Officials iran is responsible for the attack based on Video Evidence and the resources and proficiency needed to quickly remove the unexploded limpid mine the pentagon took the very unusual step of identifying the aircraft that actually took this footage apparently these are still from footage taken from a m h 60 our surveillance helicopter that was flying above the scene and apparently imagery at lower altitude drones were involved we have p. 8 Maritime Patrol craft also involved in the surveillance so essentially on thursday june 13th about 40 kilometers or 25 miles off the coast of iran we have this attack taking place roughly at dawn the 1st ship that was hit was a norwegian craft the other craft that was hit was a japanese own petrochemical tanker and apparently the craft from norway that was hit was can to it was carrying a flammable hydrocarbon mixture and it was traveling between the United Arab Emirates and taiwan and the japanese craft that was hit was apparently hit twice into. 3 hours now the United States has said based on its photographs and video that iran is responsible for the incident however job feeds the reef the foreign minister of the Islamic Republic of iran says the opposite he says that iran is not responsible for this attack and did not carry it out and he cited the fact that iran was 1st on the scene to rescue the sailors and take them to receive medical treatment and he has alleged that it is possibly the enemies of iran in the region that are responsible for the attack in an attempt to derail negotiations that are starting to take place as iran works to preserve its nuclear deal so american accusations towards a run of failed would much support across the globe particularly mainland europe a special advisor to the eaves Foreign Policy chief believes its not total trump whos in control of u. S. Policy towards to run that came up when not only told she spoke to us he Sophie Shevardnadze you can watch the full interview online home. Unfortunately at the moment it seems to me that the u. S. As iran policy has a very clear author and that author is not the president of the United States unfortunately on iran 1 hes actually been led into a very different direction as i said particularly by john bolton whose positions on iran date back way way way or you know further down sort of back the line you know in the bush 2 Administration Even earlier. Of course well continue to track the potentially big developing story in the ongoing tensions in and around the persian gulf either of occasions over the military buildup continues but aside from all the talking military buildup so it was hardly ever talked about the pentagons military adventures around the world in the way they affect the environment around us not just in war zones a study out has revealed that the u. S. Military produces more Greenhouse Gases that entire countries like sweden or denmark most emissions are directly due to defense related consumption is that jet diesel fuel on court has got more. Forget single use straws and plastic bags theres a much bigger problem wreaking havoc on Mother Nature its war the pentagons wars to be exact i. 59000000 metric tons of Greenhouse Gases thats how much the u. S. Defense department spewed into the atmosphere in 2017 alone Brown University says the d. O. D. Is both the largest oil consumer and institutional polluter in the world there are entire countries that dont emit as many fumes portugal finland and sweden to name a few how is that possible well the u. S. Military does have a presence in over 150 countries its 560000 buildings worldwide make up 40 percent of its greenhouse emissions the rest is from military operations which in 2016 used up 86000000 barrels of fuel thats in afghanistan pakistan syria you get the picture and its not like americans are electing people who understand wars Environmental Impact the department of defense must do more than simply acknowledge take piecemeal action to address Climate Change while it increasingly threatens in homs oh militaries the infrastructure and operations even the pentagon itself says its worried about Climate Change the facts of the changing climate are a National Security issue with potential impacts to department of Defense Missions operational plans and installations the top brass might say theyre concerned but their words certainly are not matching their actions in fact the u. S. Military budget may see its 5th Consecutive Year of growth in 2020 despite spending more than the next strongest militaries combined the d. O. D. Is not cutting back its actually preparing for more military ventures and considering u. S. Iranian tensions are escalating in the persian gulf there are few signs of any turning back. The last 4. Major National Security threats that both have all of them identified. As being one of those huge threats and yet it soon activities are leading to exacerbate there is this serious threat to Global Security i didnt answer which is Climate Change and yet rather than doing anything serious to tackle the problem literally expenditures do seem to be oriented towards creating global insecurity Climate Change and many other whites. Polars said get a 1000 extra troops to taking from the contingent already in germany later in the program well see what might be behind every location that logic behind it. Controversial psychologist and author Jordan Peterson has launched a free speech platform called think spots and its got one key principle and thats no censorship youll turn to social media site will only remove content if actually ordered to do so by u. S. Authorities while it hasnt even launched yet its already caused quite a stir as poly boy here explains. If they wont 7 let you in the club just to set up your own thats the philosophy behind a brand new anti censorship social media platform thats hitting the web this summer i think spot will be an intellectual playground for censorship free discourse thats according to its founder controversial academic and bestselling author Jordan Peterson the canadian professor is a divisive figure hated by the left and dariya fide by the right earlier this year he was snubbed by the most intellectual of british Institutions Cambridge University he was supposed to have a visiting fellowship that this sort of him but that offer was rescinded after a backlash from starr and students this was Jordan Petersons response to the decision at the time what do you think it says about free speech in britain that Cambridge University made an announcement this week saying they were going to invite you to speak i think it says more about the nature of the universities in general than about free speech in general i mean i dont see all that my decision been taishan has compromised more in free speech ability because i have so many platforms on which i can discuss my ideas according to petersons latest video think sport will be a Subscription Service where controversial creators will be able to monetize their free speech once youre on our platform we will take you down and list were ordered to by a us court of law thats the idea so were trying to make an anti censorship platform one of the b. To test is of the site will be anti feminist you tube or call benjamin his you tube channel saga on of a cat was recently downgraded after he made offensive comments about raping a brit. Politician he was also banned from crowdfunding site patriot last year olds right poster boy milo yet not police suffered the same fate for Jordan Peterson and his Community Patriotic actions to block these prominent commentators was the final straw doesnt look like moving to an alternative provider an alternative commercial product provider thats out of our bailiwick out of our control is going to be viable critics argue that an anti censorship platform could in practice turn into a safe place for extremists and the person who most publicly to test the platform is somebody whos not only joked about raping somebody but then doubled down on it saying well if i was junk enough maybe i would you know this is this man is very dangerous because i mean hes interested much overlap with mine and i mean to student of you and many others that you and pizza is interested in but because he has that learning and speak something that this is a Good American but very to support the creation of petersons think spot say that western society need somewhere to Exchange Ideas without fear of reprisals and clampdowns the major point that we have to defend and cultivate prioritize wedding gaging and the robust discussion in public life is that no situation anywhere as an adult is free of risk in that we enter into these things to try and get something out of it its hard to argue with the numbers alternative thinkers like Jordan Peterson and the rest of his selfstyled intellectual dark web have attracted millions of subscribers that suggests that audience is all gagging for their free speech heh rose not to be gagged. Controversial been aware of religious symbols has been passed in canadas quick break province of the. For working in the Public Sector lawmakers have called the move the right to have secular Public Services separate state and religion that education will affect Government Employees police and teachers for example and would apply to muslim headscarves jewish skullcaps of the various symbols last minute changes to the bill also included the introduction of inspectors will be set to task to ensure people abide by the new law but some in quebec have criticised the move for violating basic rights the Prime Minister has once again suggested the quebec values are incompatible with fundamental rights the 16th of june 21000 is a very said date that has just entered the history books of quebec a date that will forever mark a vision of quebec that divides rather than brings together that excludes rather than includes that stigmatizes rather than reconciles. Will there be Police Officers going off to people to check if they have religious signs we dont know its not clear we didnt even have time to analyze his modification clearly they did it in a very undemocratic way this moralist we spoke to University Lecturer to earn a traverse patrol the leader of the Canadian Nationalist Party down the rabbit hole we go because what is religious and what its not i tend to believe that politics and religion are intertwined necessarily to a certain degree and at the end of the day when you say wedding rings could be seen as a religious symbolism the next step out of that could be the apparel people wear not just talking about face veils that dresses women wear or their clothes men wear and what this is really pointing to is a code back that is known in canada to be fierce about protecting their identity and that is where the combat voters voted in a nationalist populist government with the ca q and right now as the premier missile a go out and south says theyre getting exactly what they voted for. Well the problem is whenever youre prevented from doing something that you feel that you should have the right to do or that something thats so important to you on a very fundamental level like some as many muslims say about their religion you are really setting it up for a lot of class i think both demonstrations and likely physical clashes because people believe that their existence is on the line and they feel that they are justified to use any means necessary to fight for what they feel is is their right so if anybody feels that their rights are being taken away from them then we can expect there to be as i said i think physical punches and its going to all be under the rubric or the guise of islamophobia theyre going to say its a blatant attack against a particular group and when youre fighting for that cause this has you know potential ramifications globally where people say oh we thought that it was such a welcoming diverse country but it seems that at least part of it back is islamic phobic and who knows what kind of repercussions we can expect moving forward when people from other countries might decide to make a statement beyond a simple protest. Had a Mental Health crisis that has to be addressed the Police Commissioner speaks out about a series of suicides in the ranks of new yorks finest of moscow watching on t. V. International. When else so it seems wrong. Wrong just dont call. Me. Yet to say pal this thing comes after. And in detroit it was betrayed. When something you find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. You know world of big. And conspiracy its time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. And shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now were watching closely watching the hawks. And Good Morning Police in new york city in action after a chain of suicide deaths among offices in the latest case a 29 year old officer killed himself right outside the precinct where he worked he is the 3rd death by suicide in the city ranks in the last 2 weeks that the Police Commissioner described the situation as a Mental Health crisis that has to be addressed because depression is real and people need to understand that this is that ok i dont feel i dont feel myself i feel down ill bring myself out of it sometimes its a downward spiral that unless there is intervention from the outside its not going to stop and something bad is going to happen you need to talk to someone. One Nonprofit Organization that collects data on Police Suicide says the number of officers who kill themselves exceeds the number of deaths it also says the numbers have been on the rise is 2016 a policeman told us they face simply too much pressure in the u. S. Police officers are the single most treasured tested men and women on the planet everything theyre doing is criticized by the public their personal problems are being criticized by their off families and bull then their behavior on both calls which is a mixture of both personal and private or private and professional actions are being criticized by the command staff the public doesnt understand the pressure that the street cops have that the for the 1st miners do and that goes all the way through up to the detectives but for the most part it is its a basic concept that these men and women are in a daily Pressure Cooker from every single angle of their lives and they have no they have no escape from that. Pose preparing 6 sites across the country to accommodate a 1000 extra u. S. Troops that are being relocated from germany moscow express concerns the move reflected aggressive intentions but next explains that something is washingtons way of exerting pressure on belin. Meeting across the pond suddenly became news for germany when the american president pledged to send his polish counterpart more u. S. Troops from their neighbor we have 52000 troops in germany. And germany is not living up to what theyre supposed to be doing with respect to later and poland is after you graduate you thank you very much strategically 1000 soldiers less than germany and a 1000 more in poland makes new big difference so what was the motive i think there are several aims to what trump is doing one of them i think has to do with putting pressure on germany so he wants to play the polish card against the germans tramp is trying to put more pressure on germany that germanys pay more for the military budget reckon 2014 all nato Member States promise to meet the guideline of spending 2 percent of their g. D. P. On defense within a decade half way to that deadline its clear berlin will likely fail and thats driving washington not its not yet clear when or how the american troops stationed here in germany will relocate to poland but trumps mere hint about them crossing the border was enough to put berlin on high alert and that was the purpose and it worked we heard from parties usually on opposing sides of the political spectrum for germanys own sake we need to finally in a significant and permanent way that reflects our global commitments increase defense spending. Making sure the military is ready for the future is a question of solidarity with our e. U. And nato partners its hard to say where they dont go further than words the recent poll suggests that the german public is deeply divided over a defense spending increase but it seems donald trump sprats backed by steps like they want to really kate u. S. Troops from here to poland leave little choice some welcome this pressure after older lean made these commitments before trying became president this has nothing to do with the american president s but with our responsibilities to our soldiers and to europe and credible burden sharing but others disagree they see or germany will see its biggest military budgets rise since the cold war by more than 5000000000 euros thats according to uncle merkel but even that falls short of what nato and trump want somehow hes change that for make America Great again to make nato great again that were going to make the europeans pay more for their defense what they never. Thought theyd ever point out of course is defense against whom they say nato is not directed against russia although Everybody Knows that nato is directed against russia even though i dont think anybody honestly believes there is a russian territorial threat to any of these countries every new Member States is a pad of the holy war machine of its need to represent and we have to overcome these war mostly because these war machine all these dinos out is other of history what we need is to reduce the troops at the border to russia to bring the troops home the old slogan of the Peace Movement is actually an adequate but defense spending is not the only bone of contention between washington and bullying and just one of many aspects that separate poland from germany. Result applause and contracts for one tariffs and sanctions for the other and soldiers shifted from germany to poland is the most recent of these punitive measures but unlikely the last. Shot will cover so far this choose the good news or move the up but you can download right now here in moscow its just after 1124 the morning this tuesday was given the incentive of a great day. We had one man 3540 years old. It all starts in the water. Some 30 fisherman made for him its left. I guess to some. Elements in the. Well stubborn and what the machine. I believe that this is one of the therapy is. Absurd its really harsh things that happen in life. When youll make good manufacture consent to stick to the public well. When the ruling classes protect them so. When the final merry go round lifts only the one percent. Thats not going nor middle of the room sick. I mean real news real world. I. 2006 i was substituting for a 5th grade class all of sudden its kids come bursting a library really agitated one of the boys to the health room and on the way he collapsed the next morning. We were not spraying anything but the teachers had actually gone out and taken pictures when all this chaos was going on the school and students were being and they were spraying right in the feels right adjacent to. A follow up study was done on that 32. 00 page study the last 4 pages or the chemicals that they have found. We have shown an association between organophosphate exposure as measured by those metabolites in the mothers urine during pregnancy and shorten just station abnormal neonatal reflexes decreased Mental Development in the children at 2 years of age decreased i. Q. At age 7 and 10 years of age pervasive developmental disorder which is like. Symptoms. Attention problems in school age poor executive functioning in preadolescent and we have also shown that there are some populations of people that might be more affected than others i have virtue of their genetics. Protecting our kids from chemicals is a common sense thing that everybody can get behind leave points to examples in recent years of students getting sick from pesticides used by farmers near schools this is really great and several incidents in 2008 in why man koichi where dozens of students got sick after a pesticide was applied on a nearby seed corn plot weve seen example after example where weve had to rush children from a Public School to an e. R. Like the ones i work in across the state for severe area long problems we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants theres no question otherwise why would that a Chemical Company workers themselves be geared up and suited up what happened with why im a middle school was particularly egregious the state of Hawaii Department of agriculture does not do its job with respect to investigating complaints about pesticide drift and for years this is been the case it doesnt monitor the air it doesnt monitor the water it doesnt monitor the soil to make sure that pesticides are not leaving the fields and going into where people live and play and work. As a mom i think about what would i do. If i had to send my child to School Every Day alongside a field where i knew they were spraying pesticides but i didnt know when and i didnt know what. We require our kids to go to school why dont we require these companies to at least inform the parents or the School Administrators what theyre spraying when and where. So we started to ask questions like well what chemicals are they spray how do we manage runoff i sent an email to gary who is or asking him about what we can do what we could start a bill to get these Chemical Companies regulated so we can put a
