Rights violations committed in yemen as the country continued to. Break. International live from our studio with me.

This is an anonymous they received a blog document about. The queen not. Not actively crusade and that you have got her mom tracking oh well thats war girl so on the contrary im also able to id if i want to speak a lot lot of leptons in the sand the language they hear would. Stop again the video e. M. F. Documents prove to be genuine and then weapons seen on the Islamic State media in yemen could well be so being made off to being sold to u. S. Military contractors all Senior Correspondent Juan Castillo explains how the weapons could have ended up in terrorist hands. Its a remarkable trail from the arms factories of europe for the hands of isis terrorists in yemen in the span of barely a year we knew this courtesy of concerned citizens who leaked the emails the memos the contracts between the u. S. Its contractors and weapons manufacturers and the jihad ists gave it away propaganda real from isis showed in their position 82 millimeter mortar shells which the reporter was able to identify for 18 read the numbers the cipher it is production lot for manufactured in 2018 k. V. Stands for the arms factory the full value of a place in serbia where the arms factory is and thanks to those leaked documents it appears the us military purchased a lot for from crusade Military Factory last year then it was a matter of following the paper trail how those shells were brought transported mog for the afghan army and ended up with isis in yemen report the discovered all this is certain in her findings oh. No weapons of war are. And where. Are the claims youve made damaging of course is true for the Us Government that based on these documents that you got hold of how hard was it to get them and how certain are you that they are genuine. I dont that i am right in the beginning. I dont know or the people. Were all sent. Where or was but i am very thankful them because. They are the. In the sitting government. And on the labor. Market or so this there is the name of the company or there were you know government or birth of birth on behalf of the arm and there you go for the shipping of that so its not all. Hed like he back to the Us Government although there is indication that information about the us thank you know that we. Were insured the documents speak for themselves the arms factory made the shelves alien tech systems and contractor for the pentagon purchased 10500. 00 of them for 8000000. 00 it was transported to bug area coincidentally it was isis fighters were also holding a bulgarian made sold rifles next shipment was flown via silk way west lives and as a by johnny airline licensed to transport weapons for the pentagon to u. S. Bases next thing we know within the year shells are in isis is arsenal you need question all of this is how and who handed over those arms to extremists there and minded the just isis that weve seen in possession of munitions made in but also. The way in syria various other jihad a scoops remarkable coincidence for them to accidentally stumbled upon all of these weapons reportedly paid for by u. S. Taxpayers now weve sent many many requests for comment to the pentagon to its contractors involved in all of this the airlines the basis but so far nothing. Former u. K. Army officer Charles Schaper age gave us his insights on how weapons end up in the hands of terrorists. People such myself and not just me many people since 2011 and before when this was being muted as we can supply we were told to moderate rebels as they were caught in the libya or syria with weaponry that would help overthrow gadhafi or for example assad it was obvious to those of us whove got really any military backgrounds are told that it would be impossible to control where those weapons would end up and indeed Much Research a lot of academics and so on has proved this to be the case again and again are that moderate rebels socalled selling or handing over these weapons to these groups or these groups can capture them in the field if they have battles or disputes themselves of course it could have been and i dont think this is necessarily the stuff of conspiracy theories it could have been so obvious of course that this would happen that it would end the weapons would end up in the hands of these extremist groups that that was the intention right from the start these are all possibilities and. The u. S. Britain and france may be complicit in war crimes and Human Rights Violations in yemen according to a un report that was released on tuesday and that highlighted the role of arms sales to the society Led Coalition there are certain states who are well known to be supplying weapons that includes United States it includes the United Kingdom and it includes france to name but 3 the group of experts has recommended that 3rd states prohibit the authorization about arms transfers and refrain from providing arms to parties to the conflict this is because of the prevailing risk that such arms will be used by parties to commit or facilitate serious violations of International Humanitarian and human rights law. The u. S. Britain and france make up the top 3 arms suppliers to riyadh while the Stock International Peace Research institute estimates that between 20152018 washington sold weapons worth some 10000000000. 00 decided arabia the u. K. And france trailed far behind with 2100000000. 00 and over 500000000. 00 respectively one of the authors of the latest u. N. Report charles caraway told us the continuing flow of arms into yemen is perpetuating the war. This is a collective failure of the International Community as a whole that is the responsibility of the International Community as a whole endeavor to believe those people who supply all those have a greater influence on the parties and therefore have a perhaps a greater responsibility to take action to try to prevent violations there is no doubt that it is the continuation of the supply of alms to. The conflict the recent un report has also called into question the findings of society arabias joint incidence Assessment Team this body set up by riyadh claims to investigate violations by the coalition in yemen with transparency and impartiality Charles Garraway again told us that the groups analysis is superficial. The trouble is the coalition has not been cooperating with us therefore we have very Little Information apart from what is in the Public Domain the press releases of the joint incident the Assessment Team will produce are comparatively bland and so far as we can see they do not carry out a sufficient legal analysis what is needed is an independent and impartial assessment so this is what we have tried to do but the difficulty with example in conduct the postal ts is its easy to look upwards from the result the result will tell you very little it wont even tell you what the intended target was and what we need more worldly is access to the targeting persons so that we can find out what is going wrong because something clearly is with no end in sight to their plight a conflict in yemen children now are particularly vulnerable a cream from r. T. Arabic as it is an orphanage in the countrys capital of. The legacy i was playing while our ship were grazing i heard the bomb explode and so shrapnel fly nondirectional some towards me and then stumbling around home only to find out that my family had been killed my mother and father my brothers and sisters they were in the league. At the time because of the war the number of all fronts has risen so much this that often i just cant house them its bleak for this children many of whom have to leave right from the streets when. The British Parliament has rejected a request from Prime Minister Boris Johnson to hold an early general election thats all from peace voted to take control of the commons agenda and passed a bill to prevent a no deal break live now to our correspondent in london. Thats 3 crushing defeat for Boris Johnson in todays could you talk us through whats happened and what it means for braggs it. Absolutely the Prime Minister last night had lost that vote whereby m. P. s took control of the legislative agenda and so today what they did was introduce legislation that would seek to frustrate a no deal drags it which many m. P. s and in fact many economists feel would be devastating to the u. K. So this morning and throughout the day m. P. s have been debating and voting and finally passing this bill along to the house of lords which would essentially once it gets approval become law and stop it from taking place also pushing back day from its current october 31st deadline in response to that. Try to introduce or did introduce a motion calling for an early snap general election to clear the mess and to try to see who the country wanted to go forward with negotiations with the e. U. In order to do that he needed to get 2 thirds of m. P. s on his side however the labor party abstained from that so mr johnson while he won the vote he didnt meet the 2 thirds threshold and that essentially the Labor Party Led by Jeremy Corbyn saying that this is not the time to be voting on whether or not to hold a general election because the priority should be getting this legislation finalized and ratified and stopping and though still brags that in this accord and also speaking in the house earlier today said once all of that has been sorted out then tension could possibly go to a future general election in any case its been a bad day for Boris Johnson and he still faces the prospect of being one of if not the shortest serving Prime Minister in living memory. And show weve got much more drama to come reporting from london for strength ether. Some to come in the Program American film stars surrounding our colleagues who support donald trump our story is after this break. Ever since the arrival of Boris Johnson to 10 downing street theres a growing sense of inevitability that briggs it will be executed on october 31st with or without a deal i mean we get to this point what lessons have been learned. You know so many people referenced the Marie Antoinette let them eat cake and then you know historians have gone back and they said you know its actually not cake its brioche. So i brought in actually my god what a mess we brought in actual brioche this is a brioche just a slice there at the touch history and so this is what she suggested that the peasants should be eating because they had run out of. This is a brioche is a slightly nicer version of that theres a few in the cupboard lets throw that to the peasants and maybe thatll shut them up. Welcome back to some big name america coming under fire for suggesting a guest list for a trump fundraising event could be used as a guide for whomever to work with critics see the blacklist suggestion as a dangerous move. Listen when i asked time people did this have people ended up killing themselves yeah this is not a good idea ok listen to you are all your own for you joe want to work with is your personal business the prevailing voices in hollywood consider themselves to be woke progressives extolling values of tolerance and liberalism but not so much tolerance when it comes to conservatives actors Debra Messing and Eric Mccormack are calling for the list of attendees at double trumps recent Beverly Hills fundraiser to be made public because apparently celebrities should not be able to support the president please print a list of all attendees the public has a very to know haiti a charmed kindly report and everyone that attending this event so the rest of us can be clear about who we dont want to work with blanks conservatives are calling it totalitarian liberalism i dont blame you i understand i wish i could denounce trump as i was offered quite a bit in return and it would make my life easier but i have refused to do so as i believe he is great for on nation and people you are entitled to your beliefs let others have their theyre pushing the case that falls apart from the sheer weight of its lunacy is low very Hollywood Community needs to be purged of this social and intellectual hygiene problem called conservative thinking but to be fair if people are taking a political stand going to a fundraiser shouldnt they be public about it arent political donations a matter of Public Record well if you only would stars have found out that leaning the right word is pretty bad for their career james woods was declared to be a racist when it became clear that he supported donald trump furthermore stacey dash who is a mexican was declared to be racist when it turned out that she was a fan of the donald whats the nastiest thing someone in hollywood has said to you about your politics everybody tells me im racist im a black mexican its apps or white cursing people have actually. He said to me youre not black enough is the same mysterious having white people with ugly sweaters at christmas and grandma drunken id knock the snow white people and now they say black people have to think act speak and the certain way in order to be black enough hollywood conservatives routinely conceal their views fearing it could be a career killer to not follow the party line interestingly Susan Sarandon the leftist actress has also become the target of a lot of hate not for being a conservative but for being a hardcore bernie crab who refuses to march in lockstep behind the d. M. See if you dont go to that liberal fundraiser if youre not at that big guy youre not in iowa.

Kollywood has even threatened to take action against those who dont adhere to their liberal values remember georges anti abortion law well there was a call for a boycott of the state we cannot in good conscience continue to recommend the industry remain in georgia if h. B. 481 becomes legal the movie world has always pushed back against traditional values however it also glamorizes well and the American Dream values that are very important to american conservatives now hollywood is one of americas most powerful institutions and there is no question that it is not acting when it comes to its feelings about the donald the more you hate the more creative you hate especially in hollywood the more you. Achieve and seek favor of your fellow hollywood types who in their right. Mind in hollywood that would ever want anybody to know that theyre exercising their 1st amendment right to support a candidate sometimes people really dont care necessarily for trump as much as they do consider this to be a Good Business move there are people who contribute to democratic causes republican and the like but its a its a its a super side packed for you too openly in the hollywood or among certain areas new york as well where i am in Silicon Valley for you to even suggest that you support from.
