Earlier this week nato leaders gathered in the u. K. To celebrate the military alliances 70th anniversary but it turns out many people in the host country have little knowledge of its relevance. People what they think are the main 3 achievements of they. Even though. In terms of achievements no. I dont know what its about have no idea any advantage of nato i honestly dont know anything about it so the flag still a day and only my husband recognized what it was who its a good question but let me think a little bit. So its probably yeah to be honest i dont have i dont have even one. Leaders use the occasion to claim that nato is the most successful alliance in history though some of the members disagree as to what the main threats to the bloc are they did agree to share its running costs more evenly is something the us has long been urging simon right from political satire show in case you missed it gives an alternative take on the summit. 29. 00 Nation Alliance which makes up one of the hall of the worlds military spending yet still calls itself. Has turned 7 c. Congratulations nato leaders are lovely. In london some drinks spread some President Trump accused the president of france and anyone of being nasty bullied the least popular. Video from being laughed at by trudeau micron and even Boris Johnson has been seen around the world today wouldnt say exactly plain sailing for this nato meeting but here come all the leaders now coming in with the. Same menu the president of somewhere oh yeah i know that one i know that one. Together last. Next to you. Leaders to. The least popular to this christmas. That happy day to. I suppose they are having to listen to this going strong listening to. No one. Before the main festivities started a select group of leaders at the jewels to meet at the u. S. Ambassadors residence we like kids going to. Play by the orange one sat on a Golden Throne i suppose he does pay for nato presence after all something the head of the alliance un stoltenberg knows very well but again this critical new twist of this on this is. Going to get america to pay the bills you know ive always thought that being the head of nato must be the least powerful powerful job in the world so despite their recent differences Frances Emanuel did meet trump and hes gone with the to put on a frankly all some display of man spreading. And passive aggression this is where we. Were great if you know. Its. Ok because i dont know if. You can have some foundation from the us i dont want to think about this but. Also water. You. Know well with nato which has become like any 70 year old its way slowly and has expanded since its probably become a bit of a financial burden to the family they cant work out who it is slow and small the russians the chinese all the middle easterns. Anniversary party was marred by protests in the english capital some demonstrators vented their anger against certain. Others objected to nato pressuring its members to raise spending r t americas rick sanchez asked his guest about the current purpose of nato and if it really is obsolete once put it before changing its mind. Youre a diplomat youve got a lot of experience in this field what is it that made 0 either must do. Today to stay viable or does do we even need it any more no its a bureaucracy in search of a mission i was right in 2016 when he said it was obsolete and so afraid was the establishment that he meant what he said on the very day he was inaugurated and they tried to ram through the addition of a new country montenegro eventually got through because it turned out they didnt have to worry about intentions once he filled his administration with a bunch of bushies and retreads of the Heritage Foundation theyve simply adopted of the policies weve had the last few decades and somehow turned into nato as obsolete into lets make nato great again well just strong on these countries to pay more for their defense against nobody in particular you think they know as in fact outlived its usefulness i thought so in 1909 and i think so today its been as a loser from a standpoint of being a naturalized american and having read the Founding Fathers warning you cant seem to angling alliances i mean what is this but in entangling alliances its our own Foreign Policy that did reason nato is being kept around by the Foreign Policy hawks in washington is not because its necessary for the actual military operations and nato itself doesnt really contribute a whole hell of a lot there are very few countries with the notable exception i want to say france and turkey but it put a bit in as if this is not a good idea for the United States and its very close allies to have an association a military economic class size thats what i was trying to say france and turkey could theoretically mount independent military operations everybody else is just a hanger on and theyre just window dressing for the us military operations but the literally like roman of silly erisa want to do what ive been hearing go bad where did that word of the destruction went or where that is what it seems to be a dismissive alliance in 1991 when the soviet union and the warsaw pact would out of business nato should have as well as why didnt they let russia in i mean that literally that time ive read on many occasions boot himself has said why dont you get is that if you are youre going to tell you who it was but one of the european european nato has said if we did that the nato would be like the un just a. Talk shop it could take action by which theyve been military action all the way to listen to what you just said if youre saying it doesnt work if we dont have enemies exactly what if we had. The ability to inflict military force and i dare to say aggression in places like serbia and libya whatever we want to using nato as a platform but enemies could change by the way russia could be s. O. B. s at one time like the 1950 s. But not so much now. But better why dont you have a system that allows that ability because because whose interest does that serve and all these all these are they that these these military companies and these bureaucrats who have the nice cool rice balls at the expense of their taxpayers because there is a threat out there is a bear in the woods to. Moscow has denied its been unwilling to cooperate with German Authorities over an investigation into the murder of a Georgian National in berlin in august after berlin expelled 2 Russian Diplomats on wednesday claiming that moscow hasnt been forthcoming enough foreign minister Sergei Lavrov told r. T. That appears moscow will again be blamed for a crime it was never involved in. The federal Foreign Office today declared 2 employees at the Russian Embassy in berlin to be persona non grata with this step the federal government reacts the fact that the russian authorities despite repeated high level and in fact it requests did not sufficiently participate in the investigation of the murder of tony k. K. In berlin zoo. They said we did not cooperate enough this is groundless some countries today recalled the tragedy of m. H. 17 my dutch counterpart said we didnt do enough then we supplied them with all the necessary information with data from our radars and so on we gave them everything where are the satellite images to us promised nobody answered that we asked them what kind of cooperation they want from us they responded by saying you have to confess you did it that would be corporative if germany wants to follow suit nothing good will come of it thats not a good way to deal with anyone and with russia in particular. The murder in question happened in late august and 1 of berlins parks the 40 year old victim was shot and killed while on his way to a mosque eyewitnesses say a cyclist shot the man in the back of the head and then fled the scene the slain man has a look on congo severely also known as 20 k k was a georgian citizen who since 2017 has lived in germany as an Asylum Seeker he had ties to a high profile chechen terrorists in russia and fought against Russian Troops and police during the 2nd chechen war the man was wanted by russian authorities on terrorism charges the case was seize on by the controversial beilin cat Investigative Group which along with german newspaper der spiegel were quick to point the finger at moscow with allegations that russian authorities had helped the assassin create his fake identity economists icon were told us the evidence presented so far has been inconclusive. You can definitely see that there are certain interests who want to poison the relationship between russia and germany it seems that there is some cleaning up work going on where isis and everything around and this high profile terrorist who might be related to all these happenings in there with isis and syria and so on so i think there can be many more reasons why this was done and who did this apart from russia the problem is that we cannot trust any of those explanations from german governments at all it was already with the script it was with iraq all these socalled big evidences turned out to be just nothing and in this case to make such a big thing like sending 2 people home is without any proven facts it is just a disgrace im feeling very ashamed of the federal bureau of foreign affairs. Still the color us 2028 preelection rivalry sees an unexpected target with a baby out of character from the latest star wars spent off outrunning the Democratic Front runners on social media a story and more after the break. I. Think a little is a should be dollars a shot you know thats happening in the world as time adjusting aparna lot of different ways we look at it because theres an Economic Force behind it is always. Welcome back to the weekly popular free dating apps such as tender are not protecting their users from sex offenders on their platforms thats according to a new investigation by american Nonprofit Organization pro publica the probe took a look at more than 150 incidents of Sexual Assault over the past decade if on that the majority of victims were women who met their attackers through match apps in 10 percent of the cases they were paired with men who had already been accused or convicted of sex crimes. Group which owns over 40 of the most popular apps says they do conduct background checks on their members but only for paid accounts for the company says it disputes the investigations findings the implication that we know about such offenders on or saw it and dont fight to keep them off is as outrageous as it is false and stick knowledge evolves we will continue to aggressively deploy new tools to eradicate bad actors including users of our Free Products where we are not able to obtain sufficient and reliable information to make meaningful bang ground checks possible chadwick more a journalist spectator magazine and Reese Iverson a womens rights advocate give us their thoughts on dating platforms and their screening policies. The magic group is a 1000000000. 00 company theres no reason why they couldnt allocate just a small portion of their revenue to screen the people on their ab just so that theres just a smaller since of increased safety its a precaution its a measure but its deserved if they appear if theyre suddenly saying that we want in order to join the service we want to perform background checks on everyone who joins 1st of all that would kill the business and they know it theres a moral responsibility on these companies that are making billions of dollars 1700000000 dollars from women looking for love to say oh you know what its too expensive for us to do a little bit to protect you nobodys going to want to join these apps with these kind of 1 if theyre doing that theyre being this invasive about background checks with that said people maybe shouldnt be on them especially women and not only are these dangerous for women but its destroying women so just get all the dating apps if you dont perform your own background checks on in your own time with your own money get off were not going to restrict women from using the internet because there are predators we do deserve for these companies to at least take the step into the right direction why do you want to put that kind of power on these monolithic Tech Companies and up saying you know ban women from dating apps im simply saying you shouldnt rely on this and you cant trust these companies to tell you whos good and whos bad you need to take that into your own hands so if you meet someone do a background check before you do good for you go out on a date if they work in tandem with the courts to get the names at least of the 1st and last names in the location of where these people are and perhaps create some type of monitor of their internet thats a step in the right direction its going to be a mess i think no matter what and theres always going to be people who perhaps squeak through or dont get picked up who then commit assaults and crimes get a gun ladies. Protect yourselves and we dont live and by the way these incidences are obviously extremely rare and you know by and large the vast majority of men are not sexual predators one woman is enough we need the companies to take a moral stance or at least have some sort of responsibility to protect the women that utilize their app and then what happens you know its its never going to be a perfect system. Its been a rocky start for some u. S. President ial election campaigns with several runners stumbling out the 1st hurdle and dropping out but it seems the baby out of character from the star wars spin off could be quite a successful candidate if it through its name into the 2020 race according to a recent poll baby outrunning all democratic hopefuls on social media including front runners joe biden and Bernie Sanders but thats not going to stop the pair striving to be called the perfect candidate or i guess if the story. In this imperfect world of ours the who really grill is finding something perfect it is of course impossible but goodness do they really try every 4 years in America Elections the eternal search for the perfect candidate a smallish chink in their houllier than that our armor is enough to sink him or her and i really mean the smallest chink for example pete booted judge currently ranked 4th in the democrat candidate polls hes a darling a mayor a family guy openly gay and he even has a disabled dog i mean what an angel but then i see he went too far he helped the homeless participated in Salvation ArmyCharity Events and thats a Christian Organization which is sometimes accused of homophobia you know hard core christians and all apparently race issues arent the only thing. Is slow to grasp what is his excuse for not realizing the Salvation Army is homophobic hard to imagine a more succinct visual metaphor for i will gleefully work for the active destruction of my people if it makes me seem in a yacht or more electable than boots adige shorter with an assurance lee antic with Salvation Army these activists are literally accusing an openly gay man of supporting homophobia just just let it sink in you havent dropped out of the race yet unlike camelot harris and one of her crimes as a half black half tamil indian woman was that she just wasnt black enough skin pigmentation seems to really really matter for a president ial candidate then you. Have Bernie Sanders spent his life trying to power the poor and for his troubles had the d. N. C. Election rigged against him last time around but bernie just doesnt get it america doesnt want someone who cares so much for the poor sanders just does not understand that a 15. 00 minimum wage will hurt the job market and theres no way we can afford to make education free for everyone and on top of bernies you know principles and decency hes just ancient. Get on much like former Vice President and controller see magnate joe biden es neck deep in just the weirdest stuff even getting really close and taking the nice sniff of peoples hair now embroiled in ukraine gate he got his little boy a nice cushy job that pays a standing amounts in ukraine the poorest nation in europe and modern civil war to boot are sure he couldnt remember all that stuff them ages getting the better of him to his memory isnt what it was then we have Elizabeth Warren who hasnt quite yet figured out who she is in case you missed that she tried to pass yourself off as part native american which was an exaggeration by which i mean it was entirely made up bashing. No what it seems is good enough homosexual whole move a black woman who isnt black enough an old man thats obsessed with helping the people that need help biden in his head seriously what the hell then again perhaps people wouldnt meet peaks so much if you know they had Something Else to talk about if these people had the pleasure beyond beating trump. For america and americans but hey maybe not i mean serious. Stuff. Lastly a look at some world news in brief a massive fire has torn through a paper factory in the center of the indian capital leaving 43 people dead thats according to officials the fire has now been put out but the rescue operation is still underway Emergency Services say 50 people have already been rescued dozens of workers were sleeping inside the building when a fire broke out in a factory is located near large markets which made the work of firefighters much more difficult its thought a short circuit started the fire. Hundreds of thousands hit the streets of hong kong on sunday for another antigovernment protests this time it was authorized by police some demonstrators brought along u. S. Please come stated weaponry from protesters the protest began 6 months ago over a now extradition bill and continue with new calls for greater independence from beijing. And israel has carried out air strikes on the gaza strip in response to rocket fire hours earlier according to local media reports 2 people were injured in the air raid the Israeli Military says it targeted hamas positions. Thats a recap of just some of the stories that help shape the world these last 7 days for all the latest and up to the minute reports also on twitter facebook. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy people in sunday shouldnt let it be an arms race and his offense very Dramatic Development only personally im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical of time time to sit down and talk. You know world of big partisan attitude. 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 back and shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now were watching closely watching the hawks. Facebook and google started with a great idea and great ideals unfortunately there was also a very dark side. They are constructing a profile of you and that profile is real its detailed and it never goes away turns out that google is manipulating your opinions from the very 1st character that you type into the search bar it will always favor one dog food over another one comparative Shopping Service over another and one candidate over another they can suppress certain types of results deiced on what they think you should be seeing if they have this kind of power then democracy is an illusion the free and Fair Election doesnt exist for the more growth we give them the sooner we are all. There are a lot of lawmakers in the state of missouri that we know huge financial contributions from Agricultural Industry groups those are the groups that opposed d proposition b. And there is no doubt in our minds that those same groups pressured lawmakers to overturn proposition b. And before the session even started there were bills that were pretty filed to do just that you feel bad because it was repealed but you know all of your work paid off as made a dramatic difference for this i mean just the fact that almost half these facilities are out of business who could have envisioned that things are definitely much improved with many of the worst operations but you still have chronic while leaders who are operating you still have any humane treatment. You still have the. Some folks believe they can do whatever they want there are so many issues so many porton issues and everybody is struggling in their own way that we dont necessarily want to pick up the other guy struggle eventually i have to go back into my town and face this neighbor and face the other neighbors and i will meet them at church meet them at the Grocery Store a meeting at the restroom at the sale barn and im responsible. And i think this is where the buck ends we individually have to take responsibility as producers and as consumers but i mean i think for the public very clearly you know you have a choice in the product that you buy at the store. Were going to try to fix it. If you cant defend the rights of all dogs if youre going to ignore the problem down the street. First there was i wanted to educate people who had no idea like i did and so i knew that if i was educated by one story that other people would be. The protests and black friday of 2011 and the reason we chose the has thats when people start buying christmas copies placing orders for christmas copies and we wanted that to stop so when they 1st started we were there to close every
