A study challenging the claim that the Syrian Government was to blame for the alleged chemical attack in 2017 thats after the article attracted fierce anti assad criticism. A very warm welcome to you youre watching r. T. International with me nicky aaron the top story this hour people in the french 30 of ruin are demanding the truth from the all for a tease they fear theres been a cover up after a major fire at a nearby chemicals factory with locals not believing officials who say the air is safe to breathe your thirties have released a report on the incident it states that over 5000 tons of chemicals burned in the inferno these were mostly multipurpose additives for fuel arties shala dubinsky reports. Almost a week ago the Chemical Plant just across the water that was a blaze afic plume of black smoke billowed into the sky as firefighters battled almost 24 hours against the flames. Since then there has been growing anger over what some say is a lack of information over what was put into not fire and the impact that could have peoples health. You can talk to any foreign men but when you have any type of contact with the smoke its dangerous you can believe because of the Carbon Monoxide and in this case when the smoke went into the sky we didnt know what was in it we dont know exactly what is in the year and we worry a lot that in the future it might bring cancer or Something Else that will fall i have 4 kids and they were impacted by the smell and my grades i thought about having tests done but for was with absolutely no information about what we should be looking for so you said you take blood samples but what are you going to tell them to look for us i know they could be counseling large problems with the problem is that we. Miss nothing. Here is were over here and i can feel it if you can because i have an interest rose and im continuously. Worried about the how can our children in the future will they have cancer or something we just dont know around the world some people want to take care of you should some really cool samples experienced. Vomiting most of the supreme playing the tap water its black and then their ways the stench you can smell that the air is foul its a bit like rotting eggs but with a chemical tinge and despite the initial denials that there was no health risk the French Health minister has admitted that its clearly polluted. It is a factory that produces hydrocarbons even if modern large volumes it is never good for the population to come across these kinds of products i cannot say that there is no danger the city is clearly polluted several schools were closed off to the fire and though some have attempted to reopen many teachers are refusing to return to work. Colleagues from schools nearly results have refused to work until they receive information about what was burnt and the risk because they are just a few 100 metres away from the site they did so to protect their health and that of the children who are under their responsibility and thats why there is no demand that the original school 30 acknowledge their right not to have children attend school under this condition. While Health Concerns are immediate whats perhaps most telling about the danger people here are facing is the fact that food sales 100 districts around ruin have been banned any produce that may have been exposed to contamination has to be destroyed that even includes milk. Hybrid cats and worked closely with milk producers dioxins are measured in memory grams and there are a problem for us because they become highly concentrated in milk and the toxic so they render it unfit for consumption it is vital for us to know. Whether there are any dioxins in those tiriel whats going on he would term us what to do with our produce so much on the fly ash has even reached as far as belgium and the netherlands raising concerns that the impact could be even the ija reaching flags have also been raised for the health of the police and the firefighters who were on duty during the fire protests like this have now formed to pressure the authorities to outline any risks they make face they demanding answers but are afraid that even if they recede. Even though the danger is as a result of that blaze may not a message for months or even years from now charlotte t. V. Ski. Despite locals fears for their Health Officials are adamant that the air is safe to breathe in the city. Im not saying that the smell isnt pleasant im just telling you what the results of the tests namely that the is not harmful. We think the government prioritizing the work of the plant rather than the safety of citizens an official earlier told us that there was nothing to worry about i mean everyone was not toxic and he continues to pacifiers that without giving any Scientific Data to back up his claims and then we hear the interior minister saying the same thing again without any confirmation the officials based their conclusions on the far the lubrizol plant which does not contain so many hostages chemicals the other part has far more dangerous substances which could have burned it did not pass the only argument that your thorazine is used to reassure us but actually the damaged part also included a whole range of proper chemicals and so its possible that they were released into the air since the cloud is now above belgium the air there should be tested for certain substances which were found near the plants and i think now we want to is the most dangerous friend she should have been but i hope we will be able to cope with. A young africanamerican girl who claims she was attacked by white schoolmates has issued an apology as of the Story Made National Headlines across the u. S. And her reaction were tractions that raised questions about a trend in hoax reports killable pain out the details. Is a crime so horrendous that everyone was talking about it a young africanamerican woman held down as 3 white guys cut her dreadlocks and insults at her where were mr aware were in the party to protect her. From this heinous crime the tears in the eyes of the grandparents came from righteous outrage now questioning the claims of a crying girl is not a good look for anyone especially the media which most americans already hold distain for but maybe they should have well it turns out the incident never happened her grandparents have written an apology to those young boys and their parents we sincerely apologize for the pain and exhausted see these allegations have cools down to the administrators and families of manual Christian School we have sorry for the damage this incident has done to trust within the School Family and the un to school and it has brought to the school to the Broader Community who rallied in such passionate support for adults and we apologize for betraying your trust now of course actual hate crimes do happen we can recall how recently there was a High School Wrestling referee in new jersey who forced a black athlete to cut his dreadlocks he was shamed in front of the audience outrage was everywhere but we see another disturbing trend in us society thats people faking hate crimes against themselves in order to get Media Attention and sympathy who can forget just the small let could only go off with their words. I mean who says. This makah country.

Actual hate crimes are increasing and thats what makes these hoaxes so vile it feeds into the idea that actual victims of actual racist atrocities shouldnt be taken seriously fortunate seeing is sometimes he climbs duiker and when they do occur i think that this kind of a hoax does a disservice to the victims of legitimate hate crimes when Something Like this happens you know its going to make it harder lets say for the next victim to be believed you know because theres so many instances of these types of hoaxes popping up i think that a lot of you know editors quite frankly have lost their soul you know especially now in america strong theyre always just looking for the most insatiable story the story that paints them to see the stark is and you know most negative picture of america unfortunately it seems like we have a lot of selfhatred in the american Mainstream Media nowadays. The dutch government says they want to comply with new e. U. Rules are the funnest defended on the hague contract says brussels wants to see restrictions on livestock farming to protect the environment and the 2000 farmers took part in the motorized stunt and they say they made we a reference check to great cost tailback stretching over 1000 kilometers despite the government caving to their demands the farm is still unhappy. I ask for more. Appreciation from civilians and from the competition its because an island like everything that goes wrong its name on farmers there are 2000 over 2 trials and here in the neighborhood only the mayor of the hay would let the men the mayor. Would only let 75. 00 tractors in but farmers are clever so they took all the wastes. Didnt think of.

Global warming or global heatons people the increase in corn it confers benefits as a hope there are lots of neat circulates you on social media which are trying to do precisely that but useful. Global warming nor its impact and that. So many people who find this it goes. To be simply not accept any many people including Global Leaders who do believe in time so he certainly cited it completely accept the science of Climate Change and yet theyve refused to do anything much about it. The scientific journal has withdrawn a study challenging the claim that the Syrian Government was to blame for the alleged chemical attack in 27. 00 c. As of the article attracted. Criticism that story and. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to us of the world of politics sports im sure ill see that. Welcome back a scientific journal that specializes in arms control has polled a study challenging the claim that the Syrian Government was to blame for an alleged chemical attack in 2017 it points out inconsistency is in the official version of events but was withdrawn when it came under intense criticism of explains. Where the sun revolves around us or us around it where the earth is flat who is god is greater or more recently whether we should question why every chemical attack in syria would magically gets blamed on the government the Syrian Government committed chemical weapons acts against their own people it is highly likely that the regime was responsible for a sarin attack on concha khun assad rita rita the violations of the cease fire and the violence through be to be perpetrated by heaves armfuls of on civilians now usually science is the answer it is resolved some of our biggest arguments but this question seems to have a strumpet science and Global Security respected journal based out of Princeton University decided not to publish a study that questioned the official version of events that assads government was behind the hunch a hoon attack in 2017 it all went Something Like this a former pentagon employee mit professor ted postol together with respected scientists conducted a study u. S. President ial candidate gathered mentions it on her Campaign Web Site 13th september belling cat noted anti asaad website blasts the study science and global says it will publish it anyway and will judge it on narrative soon after the journal now says its canceling the publication is why officially. These questions included concerns about the technical merits of the analysis in this article as well as the value of publishing the article given the sensitive in contested issue of the use of chemical weapons in syria yet it is take these masses very seriously this review identified a number of issues with the peer review and revision process strange isnt it that no questions about the veracity of the study were asked when it was submitted or when it was given the green light for publishing concerns only appeared when belling cat and its followers attacked the study and the people behind it weve asked the journal for comment but no clear answer yet then again as statement may have said it all sensitive and contested issue that caused your mind back to 2017 within 2 days of the alleged chemical attack america declared it knew everything there was to know on tuesday syrian dictator bashar. Launched a horrible chemical weapons attack on innocent civilians even beautiful babies recruiter murdered in this very barbaric. Attack and so trump ordered a barrel of cruise missiles to be launched that syria now any doubt about as adds to mattick guilt would make the missile strike a war crime or an International War crime which could be why the scientists behind the study a face in such intense pressure abuse even and surprisingly were the loudest voices of condemnation is coming from Elliot Higgins founder of belling cat and opponent of everything a sad is website which he likes to call an investigative outlet has received funding from u. S. Government run operations mr higgins is a rabid supporter of the official pentagon line he is debating the issue with dr post or well the open flow your dog doesnt agree with you well that are they lying they be foolish. To address the technical points in my instead of citing nonsense because i showed that none of the forensic evidence fits the findings you need to show that what im saying is technically inaccurate i took your research and hacks i mean i gave it was someone he said 40 years of experience as a chemistry expert im not interested in other people you claim are experts i want to know why that is not its not in place the full debate is up on dr postals Youtube Channel but his study will be appearing on science and Global Security anytime soon it seems twisted criticism has won the day to day where science is told to shut up because its inconvenient its former us secretary of defense famously explained there are some things you just dont know you dont know. There are reports that there is no evidence of a direct link between baghdad and some of these terrorist organizations but there are known knowns serious things we know we know and we also know there are unknown unknown that is to say we know there are some things we do not know but there are also unknown unknowns the ones we dont know we dont know excuse me but is this in the no no no. Im not several on loans and im just what im noticing and im not going to say which it is because you know we may hear. The irony is sometimes those unknown noons preferable its better for america in this case for bending cats if no one knows what happened and they what. Investigative journalist rick stylings they said that withdrawal of the article has nothing to do with science and everything to do with politics the article was authored by 7 scientists who are experts in the field they ruled out the fact that. That it was definitely something that could only have been caused by a bomb drop from the from the air it was restricted to analyzing the hole in the ground and modeling whether it 122 millimeter. Projectile missile could have caused that and they determined that it could have caused the criticisms mostly have come from nonscientific people what is the journal thats supposed to be dedicated to scientific inquiry and that is supposed to be dedicated to disarmament and arms control is apparently being bullied or allowing itself to be bullied into political censorship and bias. Which is Prime Minister baraks johnson will submit his final greggs that proposal to the e. U. Within the next few days after his government was forced to deny claims it will push for a hog border in ireland based on leaked reports hes described that the towns that are paid in irish media as quote not quite right they allege that would be a string of customs posts along the border the introduction of a simplified declaration process islands relationship with the e. U. As Customs Union has been a subject of intense debate throughout breaks in negotiations with the leaked raising concerns among irish officials but are still uncertain insist checks will have to be in place whatever the outcome. Thats just the reality and i think that what were coming up to now is as it were the critical moment to choice when i when the u. K. Withdraws from the e. U. That must be the state of affairs that we have a little scared a former history professor at the l. S. E. Told us johnson has his poker face on. Splitting his cards very close this mystery surrounding not only the proposals for a deal but also mr concerning what will happen if the isnt going to be a deal and i will get it im not signing no not asking for an extension on the for a big deal he says he wont draw them with then the ditch and under no circumstances would he asked for an extension is that a pen he will break the surrender bill the bill would be illegal but you know rumor is go where are you that say.
