A. B. C. News has defended his decision not to broadcast the stories dating it didnt meet editorial standards at the time while im greta expanding her comments were made in a private moment of frustration earlier i spoke with the founder of project for task and journalist james okeefe. I think its a huge concern and that the statement that you just read there was seemingly written by corporate lawyers for a. B. C. It directly contradicts what amy robock says on the set and this leaked hot mike tape i think comes across quite well and if i were her id be upset at these executives for squashing the story as well but the tape is if you watch the full 3 minute tape youll see that she is shes very upset that these interviews with the accusers were not aired she says shes 100 percent confident that epstein was was killed and this is a pretty prominent american a. B. C. News journalist making these statements and i have to wonder why did they not air these stories why why were they why was the sheld i think that a lot of these people are can are not trusting the media anymore in this country because the media does not cover the news i mean this is a big story this is a a huge story and you can see the anger you can see how frustrated amy robock when you listen when you watch this tape it directly contradicts what a. B. C. News is saying publicly now about not having enough corroboration there theyre fine airing the allegations against maybe Brett Kavanaugh for or trump or anybody else but when it comes to bill clinton and some of these folks d that are mentioned by amy in this hot mike tape they say they just didnt have enough corroboration im not sure how a. B. C. News defines a corroboration when it comes to credible witnesses talking about Sexual Assault. U. S.

Opposition Opposition Forces who are under general turkish command in at least one instance did carry out a walk round and we have reached out to turkey to demand an explanation so he has promised to investigate the claims against its syrian ally is it worth noting that some of the groups under the estonian brother of course now accused of war crimes were previously supportive and armed by washington because the more pain explains. The Free Syrian Army American Media and politicians told of glorious Freedom Fighters picking up a gun for democracy and human rights and the usa wasnt afraid to show its support the United States has been one of the biggest supporters whether its politically whether its financially in a range of manners of the moderate opposition including the freestream our syrian army the administration is staking its efforts in syria on the Free Syrian Army aid and assistance that were going to give to the Free Syrian Army is used to advance the cause against guys will watch the transformation of the Free Syrian Army as well really on have they gotten more quickly better or is it just me well guess what forces fighting under the f s as latest incarnation are now attacking the United States as part of the de confliction Exchange Information has been received from the u. S.

S. Support weapons and training to being terrorists to attack america as well lets review the process of the f s as evolution as the syrian conflict escalated they were presented as a soft force to counter the quote brutal regime of Bashar Al Assad western journalist even visited them they are former syrian soldiers they say they refused orders to fire on their own countrymen a few months alongside to take up arms against the assad regime there are pretty gnarly bunch for a soft force but who pays attention to these details western media fell in love with them and their commander solemn interest even got a surprise visit from john mccain the u. S. Senator slipped across syrias borders so he could meet with Americas Dream Team fighting against the Syrian Government and sense then solemn even appeared on major team. The networks in the United States i spoke with general salim idriss just moments ago hes head of the Free Syrian Army i spoke earlier today to rebel leader general salim he connected with us via skype from inside syria egypt spoke to state Department Correspondent Margaret Brennan in turkey in 2014 the pentagon splurged 500000000. 00 on Syrian Opposition groups to the now infamous train and equip program the goal was pretty glorious 5000 soldiers a year for the following 3 years however at the end of the day the mathematical calculations ended up with a pretty big margin of error its a small number. Ones that are in the fight. Is is were talking 445 the overall goal is to make sure that we have enough mass to be able to get work done on the ground a lot of the weapons and money spent and it up in the hands of terrorist groups like i still or the al nasra front fine use of u. S. Taxpayers money and sense than the u. S. Trained fighting force seems to have almost disappeared but now theyre back weve got the Syrian National army this is a totally new organization with dozens of different factions 80000. 00 total fighters approximately and guess who the minister of defense is well you guessed it its major solemn interests but hes got a completely new script now he is no longer a big fan of the stars and stripes as the syrian conflict twists and turns you have to ask yourself who is the United States going to end up supporting next and how long until they turn against the United States again this incident at the very least. Destabilizing the presence of americans has made it also the support for these groups like the socalled Syrian National army which consists of people who quite aggressive jihad to use and so its been once convenience and now its become inconvenient. For that you how did this who have seen that yes the americans have abandoned the kurds who they disliked but of course they fear that they too are being dropped but they didnt really think about who their friends were who they were helping who they were arming and funding.

French defense minister has stressed what ministrations commitment to fighting the spread of islamist extremism in africas a hell region florence pollies comment comes just days after insurgents killed 49. 00 in soldiers stationed at a remote outpost in the countrys east it was the most devastating attack on the french open market governments forces in recent years is with him all his solid defense. 7 years of bloodshed and violence isnt just continuing in mali some say its worsening in recent weeks attacks have been increasing with this state claiming responsibility. Another casualty of the mounting violence is france french troops have been stationed in mali a former colony 3 years. From now on will account for 50 percent of our budget for interNational Security and cooperation because this is where the security of the african continent and more generally security of a good part of our planet europe included is being threatened. France has been leading the charge of the mali was split in 2 in 2012 by islamists who declared sharia law in the north of the country it deployed troops to the region in 2013 but despite initial promise to hold ists have regrouped and theyve spread violence has spilled over into neighboring countries bikini affair so and. Now despite repeated commitments from president mccone to shore up the fragile region hes just not been able to stabilize the mali in government and the number of attacks has a doubled since 2016 despite that france is intent on staying in this. Our commitment to the sahara is and remains a priority for france will take time to defeat those groups who thrive from the social and economic difficulties of the sahara region as the violence spreads across mali the failure of the french and u. N. Troops to keep a lid on it is touring other tensions mali and military families have complained that the army is not being given sufficient resources to fight the insurgency said to protest not just to denounce terrorism but also the presence of foreign troops patients for military progress is wearing thin some groups are calling for change tack advocating opening up dialogue with the hardest that something fronts has previously ruled out so to have mollies top officials but with the current impasse a new solution is needed or the death toll is likely to only. R. T. Paris. And africa expert io johnson believes frances presence in the region may eventually become counterproductive. Becomes a time when people say that those that have come from the outside and that people could only europeans and the french specifically so times when people say they overstayed their welcome theres a time when that theyve crossed a line and feel that the local support that they once were receiving might be declining i think were coming close to that point because at some point in time were coming close to 7 years that theyve been and will be so close to 10 years if not more and thats what some point the money government has got to realize that theyre not making the relevant gains that they once were and more so. If things become counterproductive over time the settlers always be in a difficult one again we are seeing for the 1st time if not in many most recent times where i asked and alqaeda seem to be working together and weve seen them active your operating on the same territory mallees clearly one of those so it can be very difficult to dislodge them and its going to be very difficult for the cells become free of terrorism and for your jihadist. As a sign protests in the south american nation of chile are set to time soon as thousands demand social equality take the forefront of santiagos political policies clashes again took place on monday between demonstrators and police.

Lets go correctness has been propelled to center stage a theaters in londons west end they say that phasing out phrases like ladies and gentlemen and seeking gender neutral expressions to replace them his. Ladies and gentlemen the show is about to stop please make your way to youll see the usual queue for punches of the westons famously it says here in london but its a saying that might be making a hasty exit they could see the actors and entertainers trade union has released guidelines encouraging theater is. Ladies and gentleman and use gender neutral terminology for collective calls both front of house and back stage so avoid alienating people who identify as nonbinary so neither male nor female some venues like the apollo have already dropped the phrase opting instead for good evening or welcome stressing that they want everyone to feel welcome while londons transport network has already made the change from ladies and gentlemen to phrases such as good evening everyone but want to see its a go is think about these changes if they didnt announce what they were doing it probably wouldnt notice so suppose its fair enough although i quite like ladies and gentlemen to be honest should be on nothing give us 2. 00 to 4. 00 to fall seriously its a. Tough 3 do you. Think maybe older generations might you know think its a bit controversial but you know what i mean maybe upset because theyre used to the tradition i mean if people that tended by that time right thing isnt. Either a lady or a gentleman either or and to me thats. Ridiculous to see both sides up and if it does change then i feel like it wouldnt be bad but at the same time if it doesnt change i think you just have to respect that people should say ladies and gentlemen you cant list all all the gender has exactly its only a meeting and its traditional the guidance released by equity follows on from a motion passed by Student Union representatives last month at Oxford University the motion encourages the phasing out of capping to be replaced by a more side of the pools. Ambles. Its a move to foster more inclusive its the critics are calling this Political Correctness gone too far so will the changes be met with calls for an encore stage east london. The u. S. And u. K. Universities have found their therapy dogs on that campuses are a good way to help students handle stress well university in the netherlands has been digging a little deeper into the issue. Beyond of life death the difficulty of feuding ashore when youre going to have gold or you live to want to be heard of that is very difficult to talk about specially when youre 181920 years old. Me and my housemates were planning on going we can go we can often go and we found out that there was a waiting list it was a very unique experience because ive never been so close to nature before and normally when i meditate my thoughts go all over the place i think about school about work or anything and integrate you really think about life and death and what it means and whats important in life.

Today there are good dentists and bad evidence the bad terrorists and those in yemen who the United States deems to be a threat the looked at those one in syria the cia and the us military were engaged in covert actions really throughout the world. Where they were assassinating populist leaders they were backing up the right way military windows funding an army of death squads theres no phones any more because theres always a small income for a really good this. Prof. Imagine being 635 and you have a career and career involves using your artificial in your computer and things like that being in an office. Perhaps you sort of getting headaches is circular. You could have to stop doing all this and this is tell you lou the units must be frayed my world became smaller and smaller and smaller until i ended up running it in a box. Around it a very strong Magnetic Field held in my head. Think of it like a real hard pressure on my skin burned and Wireless Access Point here its just continuous on saying with our students in the schools. We are just continually bathing our citizens in this microwave radiation it is certainly electoral small and its getting worse. There max kaiser this is the kaiser a party of all or that expression if you find yourself at all stop begging sounds logical right not for one particular industry. Well indeed in fact there are 2 industries and weve talked about them often that the Tech Industry we have the tech bubble 2. 00 with we were left peloton all of those sort of companies and we have the fracking one and thats important for this 1st headline for wall street dot com because he looks at all these bubbles going on what he says is heres what im worried about with the everything bubble how cash burn machines power the real economy and what happens to the economy when investors refuse to have more of their cash burned so he calls it the cash burn machines these are investors willing to just keep throwing money into ever lose thing operations we work. Of course theyve been losing money for 10 years or less in the case of we work but they keep on throwing money and theyre willing because theres always somebody to flip to they all share 2. 00 things in common one theyre fabulously efficient finely tuned and endlessly perfected cash burn machines and to investors and these companies count on new cash from new investors to bail out and removing the rate the existing investors otherwise known as a ponzi scheme or a pyramid scheme this is essentially was driving the economy is burning cash yeah its a beautiful thing because it doesnt cost anything to get all the cash you want from the central bank for freddie they give it they give you trillions and trillions of dollars if youre a friend of theirs you get to burn a trillion and you keep a 1000000000 thats the deal so lets say Hillary Clintons Foreign Policy for example they government gives her a few trillion dollars she burns countries down but she gets a 1000000000. 00 in fees thats true of hedge funds as true of private equity funds they get trillions of dollars from the central bank they burn everything down their arsonists but they get to keep a nice a souvenir like a 1000000000. 00 mitt romney is a good example of somebody who made a business out of this and. Eventually though your run out of the free money runs out in the case of venezuela for example this is a true fact they actually ran out of ink to print the money that they were burning. That was the end of that weve seen over the past 3040 years Interest Rates have been declining and declining and declining and to climbing so theyre always able to roll it over and sell it to another chump because theres always another chunk at the end of a declining Interest Rate curve so however what weve seen since the financial crisis since 2008 as not only are Interest Rates the client ng but the fed keeps giving their friends the free money and hoping that its going to trickle down well never trickles down because theyve kept everything private they kept all of those unicorns as tech uniforms which are on paper they were worth billions and billions and billions of dollars the ordinary chump they thought like hey were getting free money from the fed so why should we let the ordinary chump and get in on this because its free money for us and we can just keep throwing money at it and raising our own valuation on paper we get to then leverage ourselves up and buy real assets by properties in new york city by land by gold by bitcoin. But now as we hit 0 and even negative in some places its all falling apart because they arent able to find these willing investors or who are so easily able to throw money away so for example many of these Shale Oil Companies are privately owned including by private equity firms and its hard to get cash flow data out on them but for example just to get a feel for the magnitude of how much money theyre burning by sorting through 29 publicly traded shell Oil Companies the institute for
