Roughly for the wait and see spoke to the author behind the research. I was accused of being. Biased toward the assad regime well im not biased toward your solid regime i just think that we ought to understand what happened here. A very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at our teacher in moscow thanks for joining us this hour russia fully intends to meddle in next years u. S. President ial election was the tongue and cheek response of lot more putin and answer to a question about moscows plans for the upcoming race for the white house. Alleged attempting to influence the 2020 lections states secret to. Secretly yes we will indeed do that so we could chew you will please dont tell anybody ok well thats quite a statement coming from the russian president but you have to take it with the pinch of salt because he was obviously joking but on a more serious note he was addressing probably what might be come russia did it his area of volume 2 now after all the numerous investigations that weve seen into russias alleged meddling in the us president ial elections back in 2016 all the media hype that weve seen in the past 2 years pretty much every single quarter someone screamed that it was russia that meddled in the us president ial elections russian meddling in the u. S. Election of russia did meddle in the 2016 election for United States to still vulnerable to russian and political interference russias blatant interference in the United States 2016 president ial elections this is actually the crime of the century. If you think about it is you have any dont rush into the future. Is driven by itself no doubt about. The same no doubt. No doubt. And almost 4 years since donald trump has been elected there was a number of different investigations conducted by the american intelligence agencies the moola reported that maybe had planes and many other articles that were written to prove the existence of the hounds of the kremlin behind the american elections but moscow has always said that it never meddled and putting all joking aside lattimer put in has once again stressed that. You know we have plenty of problems we could all refusing to resolving them to do. Above Everything Else didnt prove that we colluded with President Trump in 2016 but expressed fears that it might happen in the future this is ridiculous or rather it would be if it wasnt so because all that we see in us internal politics is about destroying toys between our countries and im certain that holmes the us itself. But american also spoke about the north stream to pipeline project promising to find an alternative route if denmark doesnt allow the pipeline through its waters. Into that later in the program. People in the french city of iran are demanding the truth after a major fire at a nearby chemical factory if youre a cover up and despite claims by the authorities the air was safe to breathe. Has more. Almost a week ago the Chemical Plant just across the water that was a blaze a thick plume of black smoke bellowed into the sky as firefighters battled almost 24 hours against the flames. In the dark good into the im not saying that the smell isnt pleasant im just telling you what the results of the tests are namely that the air is not harmful 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 on peoples health. You can talk to any firemen but when you have any type of contact with the smoke its dangerous it can be lethal 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. I have 4 kids and they were impacted by the smell and my grades i thought about having test done before was with absolutely no information about what we should be looking for so i could take blood samples but what are you going to tell them to look for i know they could be cancer thyroid problems but the problem is that we hear lots of rumors nothing concrete. I think there is a risk for our health and i can feel it because i have a need to throw it and im continuously coffee were worried about the health of our children in the future will they have cancer or something we just dont know around the rules some people are also taking that to washingtons some locals have also experienced more. Vomiting whilst others have complained that the tap water is black and then there is 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 not in 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 near lubrizol who 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 has been a demand that the original school 30 acknowledged 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 from 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 carrots and work closely with milk produces 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 as soon whether there are any dioxins in those burning materials whats going on who terminus what to do with our produce so that you dont let my advise even reached as far as belgium and the netherlands raising concerns. The impact could be even the lying to breaching flags to boast of the race for the health of the police and the firefighters who are on doing the fire for chests like this have now. Pressure the authorities to outline any risks they may face they demanding answers but are afraid that even if they receive the dangers as a result of that place may not have made for months or even years from now children t. V. Ski altie while. Staying in France French Police have gathered on the streets of paris as part of a strike now as the National March of anger is the 1st Police Strike since 2001 officers are demanding the authorities improve working and pay Conditions Police have faced increasing accusations of brutality but thats while theyve come under attack themselves during the protests pleas complain of chronic overwork outdated equipment as well as present microns reforms to the special Police Pension system there has also been a sharp rise in officer suicides with around 50 taking their lives already this year against 35 last year we asked about their demands. Today the police have no money yes salaries keep killing our status and our pension are being attacked officers are tired with a yellow vest mean that there is a lot of work sacrificing their family life and we are expressing a deep depression in our profession or do. I am here to defend our working conditions the threat to our special pensions status the lack of resources across the board. We are the Police Officers from all fronts not just riot police but all services all the unions we have all gathered to express our discontent with the administration the silence about the wave of Police Suicides this year we are short of stop short of money we cannot do our job and here to tell the administration that. A scientific journal that specializes in arms control has withdrawn a study that casts doubt on claims the Syrian Government was behind a chemical attack in 2017 and the town of concha quote the author of the report a retired mit professor told r. T. If it were up with video agency it claims accuracy is in the study are groundless. This article that my colleagues and i are publishing has come under attack and the very interesting thing about this attack is that nobody who has any Technical Expertise has provided any criticisms at all the criticisms are all from people who have no Technical Expertise and the criticisms have to do with strange arguments for example i was accused of being. Biased toward the assad regime well im not biased toward the assad regime i just think that we ought to understand what happened here the only thing that matters is is this article technically correct this is a science based journal and if theres any technical errors in it then they need to point them out because they have theyve actually in several conversations said they are not aware of any technical errors so the problem seems to be that there are accusations being made from the outside which have no scientific merit that it appears has caused them to take pause professor postals article pointed out problems in the official version of events but has come under intense criticism by god to have explains why. 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 star an attack on conscious assad rita rita violations of the cease fire and the violence through be to be perpetrated by heeds armed forces 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 harm she 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 Website 13 september belling cat noted anti asaad website blasts the study science and global says it will publish it anyway and will judge it on narrow it 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 with cells to be launched at syria now any doubt about acids automatic guilt would make the missile strike a war crime or an International War crime which could be why the scientists behind the study of facing such intense pressure abuse even and surprisingly are 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 that 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 opi slow your dogs he doesnt agree with you well that are they lying before i think there is aid 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 in hex 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 this is not its not in place the full debate is up on dr postals you tube channel but his study will be appearing on science and Global Security anytime soon seems twitted 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 is a no no. Im not several unknowns and im just what im noticing the not going to say which is the surgery going to leave here if youre going to hear the irony is sometimes those unknown a new preferable its better for america in this case for bending cats if no one knows what happened and they one investigative journalist rick starling says that the 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 respected 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 say is that a journal that 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 more news after this short break. You know world a big part of the new lot and conspiracy its time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that Mainstream Media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bad and 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. Who are all those driven by the dream shaped by. Their dares thinks. We dare to ask. Welcome back lot amir putin has promised to find other routes for the huge nord stream to pipeline project if necessary after the president claim denmarks coming under u. S. Pressure to not allow the pipeline and its waters russian leader also underlined that it is a joint project between russia and European Companies which doesnt have any political aims only commercial ones 83 percent of the pipeline is already complete or stream 2 will eventually start for around 1200 kilometers 5 western companies are investing in the project alongside the russian gas giant gazprom it will double gas exports from russia to europe through germany the project faced strong criticism from the u. S. Which claims it will make europe dependent on russian gas the u. S. Offered the purchase of american gas instead. Were now joined live by my taste on felt a political analyst at the Berlin Center for caspian region studies at the Free University of berlin youre very welcome to the program now do you believe there is a strong possibility that russia will have to find alternative routes if done mark wont allow the pipeline and its waters. 1st of all so you for inviting me pretty much assured that the project not stream to be realized we have not one that is a project which is in a common interest of European Countries and russia that it gives a more secure supply of natural gas for europe denmark place a rule like sweden plate during not stream one a tries to delay the project there are several reasons for it and one of the reasons are to delay the project out into the russia and ukraine finds a compromise about the gas deliveries after the 2020 it could be that after treaty side or after the agreement is on the table. That mark is going to give the permission for one of the rules but if there is no progress that and i think this would be the last option like the president of the Russian Federation stated to look for alternatives. We do see almost constant pressure on europe over the north stream to project why is the u. S. So concerned about it. First of all the United States currently wants to. Make Russian Energy exports to the European Market much more you know difficult and complicated. Because they want to sell their own shale gas to the European Market which is an interesting market if it comes you know to the prices but all saw is also a pressure which gives the United States the possibility to attack russia on a very vulnerable field the Energy Exports so it has the economic component that to russia the United States wants to get a bigger market share if it comes to gas exports since they have their shale gas and the need to bring it on the National Markets and on the other had to attack russia field where russia is one of will and as i mentioned these are the at the g. Exports like natural gas and oil if russia is forced to find other routes how much would that delay the product do you think. It depends its not easy to say now about it could be up to one year and it could be also you know cause additional costs for the companies who are involved. These are the German Companies like. Yarn. To the Austrian Company or movie. Like gee. Sorry it was not you know its you need to change but i want to say about something important the secretary general of euro grass and most recently proposed that. Lets assume 2 can also contribute for in old to decouple to the station in order that up to 80 percent of the pipeline can be used for hydrogen and this is a very very interesting proposal because it shows that it also can contribute to. Your age of a Renewable Energies and. As far as we can see. Mental friendly projects so i found this proposal quite interesting and we should discuss about this also in the upcoming future. What kind of reaction do you think we should expect from the western investors when it comes to this possible issue. Or course. Requires more investment. Or the companies are not very policed visit whatever it is going on and business somehow political influence in a commercial project but at the end of the day they will continue the operation discussed brought to realize the project and as i said at the beginning pretty much sure that this project will be realized. Political analyst at the Berlin Center for caspian region studies thank you for your time and your comments. So you thats a news break down for this hour and thats all for me as well today but were not you know harvey will be taking over and about 30 minutes thanks for tuning in were at me maybe. A paradise with some around turned into a round the experimentation field for agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants theres no question otherwise why would that the Chemical Company workers themselves be geared up and suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments that often in day you have many of these people where 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 form of Environmental Research going on in hawaii whether these Companies Feel they can get away with this because the people have less political power. Just manufacture can be sentenced to public wealth. When the room in clubs is protect themselves. When the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent. We can all middle of the room signals. 1000000 reunions. And 2040 you know bloody revolution to correct the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous. Or is it you know where he. Is put in the. School in the middle of the former ukrainian president recalls the events of 24. 00 g. And. Those who took part in this today over 5000000000 dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. Greetings them sell you take shoes. Narrative the spoken or written account of connected events the narrative can control the rise and fall of everything from film actors the president s even the nations will history remember you kindly all my friends that depends on who controls the narrative of your legacy and its this fight for control of the narrative that is at the heart of the controversy surrounding the recent revelations that an editorial executive working for twitter also moonlights as a psyop warrior in the british army a very curious yes the middle east i was reporting that the head of editorial for the middle east Africa Twitter one Gordon Macmillan who joined the social Media Companies u. K. Office 6 years ago has for several years also served with the 77th brigade unit formed in 2015 or developed non lethal ways of waging war and just what are these nonlethal ways of waging war you ask well let me lay it out for you at the time of its creation back in 2015 according to the independent british Army Officials told the media that the 77. 00 for great big aid would use social media including facebook and twitter to fight in the Information Age troops were to deliver means of shaping behavior through the use of dynamic narratives using the very best talent from the regulars and reserve in other words propaganda leaders and gentlemen they are warriors created to spread British Military propaganda so isnt that a wild going to be doing that mr mcmillan found himself an exit in an executive position of one of the biggest social media empires on the planet one of the chances yes
