Social media platform twitter has announced it will no longer accept anns place by government controlled media paul carter has been looking at who exactly is affected. Twitter users fear not the admins are taking new steps to protect you from the big bad state controlled media no longer will you be exposed to their alternative information via advertisements its all for the best. We want to protect healthy discourse and open conversation to that and we believe that there is a difference between engaging in conversation with accounts you choose to follow on the content you see from advertisers in your tweets experience which maybe from accounts youre not currently following by by b. B. C. And voice of america right well they might actually be what the social media giant is calling taxpayer funded and titties its different and twitter has put together a diverse team of western media organizations to draw the line between good and bad thats right Freedom House the apparently independent and u. S. State funded n g o that helped the cia with a 980 s. Propaganda Campaign Twitter picked the right state funded organization for the job of censoring state funded organizations so why is twitter suddenly pumping media doesnt like management didnt say but the Mainstream Media was able to connect a few dots when it comes to burning issues like the protests in hong kong theres only room for one perspective. State owned public funded independent whats the difference if at the end of the day youre only getting one take on controversial events its a bad idea for twitter to put any restrictions on on any Media Companies and on any of their advertising i i support freedom of speech any restrictions that Companies Like twitter or facebook start putting on media organizations it prevents as much dialogue that could happen and it leads to other other rules that could be worse for other organizations as well and its not always a very clear distinction on what is state controlled versus not state controlled and there are loopholes that will allow. Organizations like m. P. R. M. P. s in the United States or the b. B. C. In britain to continue to advertise and pope was shown on twitter.

T. New york. It is 6 years to the day since a major chemical attack on the syrian capital suburb of east ghouta back in 2013 the rebel stronghold in damascus was targeted with rockets containing seren gas this prompted International Outrage with many pointing the finger at the Syrian Government the Syrian Government has utilized chemical weapons in its fight against rebels the syrian sarin gas attack which are ministration says the Syrian Government launched the assad regime has used chemical weapons including the nerve agent sarin syrian troops now have the deadly nerve agent sarin gas weaponized and at the ready syrian president Bashar Al Assad responded to the allegations calling them part of the fake narrative of the west there was the nation for the prohibition of chemical weapons launched a Fact Finding Mission to investigate that incident and others and its wake interest on the reports on what progress has been made. The syrian war theater has become the seeing for some of the scariest Chemical Attacks of the 21st century in many acts of this tragedy it is still not known to this very day who launched noxious project tiles that have killed hundreds if not thousands of people for years the socalled Fact Finding Mission and initiative over u. N. Backed chemical watchdog has been tasked with dotting the ice the establishment of a Fact Finding Mission was based on the General Authority of the o. P. C. W. Director general seek to uphold at all times the object and purpose of the chemical weapons convention. In a report on a series of chemical incidents in 2015 the mission showed a drawing of an alleged munition used in one of the attacks what they didnt mention though was that using such a device as a bomb didnt make sense it was loaded not with chlorine but rather the chemicals that needed to be mixed together to become toxic according to the u. N. To facilitate this would be a tall order the h. C. F. C hydrochloride fluorocarbon gas canisters commonly referred to as refrigerant canisters are widely available because they used to refill refrigerators and air conditioners however they are disposable and they repurchasing all refilling would require technical modification of the valve Technical Expertise and equipment would be needed to modify the valve to refill the canisters with liquids or compressed gas the report gave no clear indications as to how this weapon had been assess. And any nation that looked to see it was a plausible virus claim forward and yet for any report is that these were. Filled with Something Else k. These canisters that there was no device shown the cancer was real loud and to being. Refill are not accountable so this is a big question mark and yes taken something constructive to devise which legibly can be ineffective where the pattern continues in other reports a by the Fact Finding Mission to. A toxic attack and hunchy whom seem to reinforce Bashar Assads reputation of a tyrant gassing his own people even though damascus denied any involvement the Fact Finding Mission provided an extensive analysis of the incident but somewhat overlooked the fact that the closest the government planes got to hunchy who in their day was 5 kilometers the map indicated that the closest to handshake that the aircraft had flown had been approximately 5 kilometers away Additional Information provided by the mechanism referred to 2 aircraft that had taken off from the show a red airbase at around the time indicated as above 10 minutes apart following the same flight path this effectively rules out the possibility of an air strike throwing a dark shadow of doubt on the version suggesting the governments involvement. Another thing left out about this incident is the fact that some of the alleged victims had been admitted to hospitals before the attack some were chipped in as patients in a hospital more than a 100 kilometers away just 30 minutes after the incident the mission didnt seem to present any facts explaining how the ambulance could have covered this distance in under 30 minutes because to do so it would have had to go at a speed of more than 200 Kilometers Per Hour to reach the facility one of the key problems that being ok in many of the alleged attacks theres been a reliance on n. G. O. S reliant on war and i was asian. Which are not independent. Questions raised as to how much International Organizations you are. Being subjected to external pressure you know just a general. Who goals the war in syria almost normalize the use of chemicals in warfare but it seems that the very mission that was established to find out the facts as to who bears most of the blame has been just a bit selective as to which facts to look for weve asked the o. P. C. W. To comment on why some evidence appears to have been ignored so far no response. The u. K. s public broadcaster the b. B. C. Is making headlines of its own thats after it admitted to failings and its bricks at coverage during the recent european elections despite its own strict editorial guidelines but it took a lot for the corporation to acknowledge its error artists ask a taylor joins us live now from london with more. So sauced here what exactly was the mistake made by the b. B. C. You. Well this is a really interesting story coming out of london today because the b. B. C. Has just admitted that one of its graphics illustrating the results of the european parliamentary election back in may this year it was misleading now the chart in question shows how well pro and anti bracks at parties did and it suggests that remain as one a little over 40 percent of the vote with bracks it is coming in just shy of 35 percent the conclusion of course being that sentiment and europe was stronger but and this is where the issue is the coffee ales to account for one important thing while the new form bracks the party and you kip are represented as backing bracks it the conservatives are not despite being a party that was then and still is committed to leaving the european bloc. Coconspirator has pursued de she for months and despite being rebuffed twice by the b. B. C. Yesterday finally had his complaint accepted it was except a doctor threatening to take the motor to ofcom the charge she used by the b. B. C. To present the Election Results attempted to deliberately imply and to brag parties who received the most routes. Now conservative support of brocks it is not told hearted by any means there are of course remain a loyalist within its ranks but publicly it pursues a united pro policy this is something that theresa may was adamant about we now of course all know her famous mantra breaks it means and this is only hard since Boris Johnson took the helm hes vowed to take the u. K. Out of the e. U. By the october deal or no deal and he spearheaded the leave campaign back in 2016 so this really is a significant omission on the part of the b. B. C. Indeed if that had included the conservative party the progress it is would have taken the lead to not graphic by 3 percent potentially changing the implications of of the election entirely and not the aspect of the story worth mentioning is that the b. B. C. Actually rebuffed the complaint for almost a month seemingly unconcerned by allegations of that it was potentially deceiving the public while we understand your concerns given the preceding paragraph we dont believe readers would have been misled on what the graph was showing. Now as i said it since admitted that this was indeed a lapse of editorial standards the graphics have been removed on a note of correction added to the website but there is a little back story to this because this isnt the only complaint to be directed towards the b. B. C. On this very issue during the elections back in may through cost of face accusations of bias from both few us and nigel frosh who claimed that the broadcaster hasnt given the bracks a party or any of its representatives a fair amount of time the b. B. C. Of course a denied these allegations and said that it gave equal attention to all Political Parties but then it also sold backlash off to its Radio Program called brecks at a guide for the perplexed interview 24 people 18 of whom were pro remain so these allegations of bias aunt knew but this is a shift in tone from the b. B. C. Who for the fast time has now come out and admitted that its information was not entirely objective we know that of course bracks it has become one of the most divisive issues of british politics in modern history so its probably on surprising that people are disappointed that the b. B. C. Has failed to live up to its commitment to impartiality on the issue. Reporting live from london thank you. Your global news update continues after this short break. Thanks guys or the Survival Guide look stacey just want to start simply after all this is. The series there you dont get a. Good citizen repatriations he will get the rest in 7 years.

Spearing Dramatic Development the only relief im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. Welcome back washington sanctions on buying iranian oil block more than 2500000 barrels from the Global Market every day thats the estimate given by the u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei oh yes the white house special representative for iran has apparently tried to downplay the sanctions impact suggesting that most of the economic woes of the Islamic Republic are bits of making. Iran is in a recession. Inflation is creeping up near 50 percent. This is largely caused by irans corruption. Irans marxist economy the traps people in poverty and the government the prioritizes ideology over the welfare of its own people but it is also the case that our sanctions have driven up the cost on the regime. In theory these sanctions dont target medicine and practice though due to a sweeping ban on Financial Transactions with iranians they cant buy medical supplies from abroad at a dramatic fall in imports they increasingly face keen shortages last year the International Court of justice ordered the u. S. To remove any impediments to the export of humanitarian goods including medicine to iran Trump Administration though insists medicine is not being targeted. Myth number one the United States sanctions medical supplies going to the iranian people the truth is that the United States exempts by the medical devices for the iranian people the iranian people know all too well that the real issue preventing access is the regime itself doesnt have a shot and my husband is a cancer patient and we are worried about his medication and their costs medications used to be available before but after the sanctions they have become more expensive andrea and we are worried about the future and what will happen. And i did go this is the 2nd round of my chemotherapy off to sanctions before my chemotherapy used to cost 211. 00 euro but now with each round i need to pay 422 year old drugs cannot be found easily like before we have to search them in different pharmacies with every single one of them not having a specific kind of drug. No when they impose sanctions on the banks the money cannot be transferred easily to a foreign country in order to buy medication. Were not allowed to bring in many of the voices and some of them like components its obvious that without these parts the devices simply wont work. Again Live University of tehran professor said Mohammad Marandi for more on this now the u. S. Special representative appears to suggest the sanctions are not a key cause of iranian hardship and blames tehrans policies instead what do you make of that. Well 1st of all when he speaks about marxism i think hes clueless about what marxism actually means this very studio that im sitting in right now belongs so 5 a company you dont have 5 it ownership in the in the marxist regime so the dishonesty of the American Government is combined with the utter ignorance in the way in which they justify their dishonesty. Trump himself called the sanctions brutal sanctions and he said the 2nd waging Economic Warfare so what pompei oh say says what trump says what other. U. S. Leaders say theyre all inconsistent with one another what book says so obviously that the attempt by the american this to make ordinary people suffer thats why they call it brutal sanctions and by the way obama was no different is his sanctions were targeting ordinary iranians he called them crippling sanctions so while the United States under trump is trying to be brutal he is trying to brutalize ordinary iranians and kill as many iranians as possible because the iranians have died as a result as your report implies but also obama when he called them crippling sanctions his attempt his attempt was to cripple ordinary iranians in fact this pulled the sanctions regime or this maximum Pressure Campaign is directly targeting ordinary iranians in war usually they at least in name all the americans kill innocent people all the time in the name of precision bombing and so on but. These maximum Pressure Campaigns are targeting officially iran you cannot import anything through the International Banking system and this of course is a violation of human rights so the americans are basically being dishonest they know theyre dishonest we know theyre dishonest the western media knows theyre being dishonest by the western media because theyre chauvinist pigs they will not tell the reality about the regimes that we see in europe in the United States and how they treat now much of trees so as you say maximum Pressure Campaign crippling sanctions brutal sanctions that which is what we hear publicly all the time so why might want to downplay the impact of these sanctions then oh because its sort of like in yemen them americans are deeply involved in these crimes against humanity big guilt of the regime in washington of obama or of trump is no different from that of mohamed bin some mom theyre just as evil theyre just they they are its like in the 1980 s. When the United States used to give Saddam Hussein chemical weapons so the most sane use those chemical weapons i survive to Chemical Attacks. But the u. S. Government and the european governments that the british the french the belgium france these countries that gave Saddam Hussein those chemical weapons theyre no different from Saddam Hussein they like to call him a brutal monster but he was their man and back to the earth so what happens in yemen what mohamed been summoned those there the europeans and americans are just as guilty the americans are in libya the when they destroyed the country they said they were for cision strikes later on it came out that they destroyed the whole countrys infrastructure intentionally. So in the case of iran they want their cake and they want to have their cake and eat it too on the one hand they want to say that iran we are powerful and were destroying the iranian economy and on the other hand they want to say well iran is evil and incompetent and its their own fault but the truth of the matter is that they have caused great difficulty in iran however they fail the iranian current economy continues to function iran today is more powerful than it was even months ago after the maximum Pressure Campaign we see that the emirates is now backing down there they are their policy in yemen is falling apart the saudis and the hammer arties are at each others throats through prague by proxy and the american position in the Persian Gulf Region has been weakened the iranians took the british tanker in retaliation showing its strength the iranians down a 200000000. 00 american drone showing its strength and iran continues to export its oil and that export is increasing so. I think that this by the attempts to destroy the iranian economy economy to bring the countries to its knees the iranians have shown their resilience their capability their power and theyve shown that the other side is actually the one that has been 1st university of tehran professor said Mohammad Marandi thank you so much for your time. Thats a global news update for this hour but dont forget you can always head to our web site r. T. Dot com for the details on all of those stories and many more. You know world of big partisan movies a lot 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 on the bath shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. Paradise with some around turned into a round experimentation field but agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major here tens theres no question otherwise why would that the Chemical Company workers themselves be geared up that suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments but all from in day you have many of these people who have one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a fair. Of Environmental Research going on in hawaii whether these Companies Feel they can get away with this because the people have less political power.
