In moscow this is our Team International and john thomas certainly glad to have you with us. First lets start with fresh doubts being cast over the credibility of the International Chemical weapons watchdog the o. P. C. W. As more leaked emails published by wiki leaks reveal concerns from yet another member of the team which probed an alleged attack in the syrian city of duma last year he says the final report into the incident misrepresents their findings. The Fact Finding Mission report does not reflect the views of all the team members that deployed to doom or only one Fact Finding Mission team member a paramedic of the socalled Fact Finding Mission core team was in duma we are not insisting on being right in our assertions but we are demanding to be heard we have been stonewalled throughout by obfuscation exclusion and even thuggish and bullying behavior. The alleged chemical attack in early april last year reportedly killed dozens of civilians the United States and its nato allies france and the u. K. Were quick to conduct air strikes against Syrian Military targets over the biggest western military action of the 8 year war of the o. P. C. W later deployed to experts to the scene to investigate the suspected chemical attack and a subsequent report pinned the blame on the Syrian Government parties but i ghazi have has been looking into the new revelations. I dont know about the 3 little piglets but the u. P. C. W is having its house blow right down from the inside the 1st whistle blower they dismissed the 2nd they sort of excuse themselves and now in what is an absolute bombshell their most qualified inspector the fs report does not reflect the views of all the team members that deployed to duma i found that i was being excluded from the work for reasons not made clear allegedly the only team member who went to syria and there was allowed to cool right there syria report was the team paramedic and of the chemical inspectors were allowed to pitch in i attempted to submit my reports the f. M. Team leaders starting from the 15th of february 29th teen after noting continued reluctance from the f f m team to receive my report i deposited the report in d r a for collection on the 27th of february 29th and advised all relevant persons of this shouldnt have bothered seems no one wanted to read it 48 hours later the u. P. C. W. Published its 1st report and sutherland had a really taken in a razor to it so much so that the actual team that went to syria didnt recognize the consensus within the f. M. Team was that there were indications of serious inconsistency is in findings the conclusions appear to have been turned completely in the opposite direction. Now that we can exist publish what the preliminary report looked like heres what the u. P. C. W. Deleted one evidence that contradicted witness testimony meaning what the alleged witnesses said deferred wildly from the hard evidence found by inspectors to the fact that the hospital videos which so shocked the world will think the victims were all actors the spade symptoms inconsistent with chlorine poisoning or poisoning with anything found at the scene 3 and this is the big one in the final report they found chlorine not how much just chlorine which you can fire did your kitchen in any home in any Swimming Pool maybe youre right what about removing trace or some other wording may work im still worried that a stock standard phrase such as chlorine containing compounds were detected or similar present the danger of it being misrepresented as a damning conclusion its a political word smithing situation not purely technical and it was the anti acid war hawks trumpeted the fact what the u. P. C. W. Did is akin to saying you found radioactive materials in someones house without mentioning it was a tiny amount used in far alarms and this on top of previous whistleblower revelations hard math cast doubt that the canisters at the scene were ever dropped their observations of the scene in the 2 locations suggest that there is a higher probability that both cylinders were money placed at those 2 locations rather than being delivered from aircraft it all began with Ian Henderson when he 1st blew the whistle he was mocked smeared insulted u. P. C. W. Claimed he wasnt even part of the team they lied the leaked documents clearly show he was working for the u. P. C. W. Shame on the o. P. C. W. You are aware of the highly questionable behavior surrounding this f. M. We as others in the team who would like to but are unable are questioning the work practices follow during this investigation we are not insisting on being right in our assertions but we are demanding to be heard we have been stonewalled throughout biopsies exclusion and even thuggish bullying behavior this is more than a rebellion this is a catastrophe for the u. P. C. W a best this is a case of gross negligence worse than i pray im wrong this is corruption corruption in the very organization thats supposed to keep the world safe from chemical weapons either way from now on when the u. P. C. W. Says something people are going to be thinking twice before taking their word for it. We have reached out to the open for comment over the latest leak in the meantime we spoke to a journalist who attended a briefing by one of the organizations whistleblowers. The person who presented of these findings was a scientist and through and through he was not a politician at all he told us in the beginning he has set you can challenge me you can ask any question you want we just one to have our voices heard he stressed the point that their findings were excluded from the final report it was completely the opposite actually and i mean the final report was based on the investigations of interior which was working out sites of syria in a country x. We do not know which this country is but you cannot find evidence on something that happened when you go to a different country you must go to the ground where it happened and you have to look their.

As a north korea celebrates yet another missile test washington has sent its representative to neighboring south korea during a briefing in seoul the u. S. Special envoy revealed that washington is nowhere near reaching its denuclearization goals with pyongyang and is calling on them to continue talks here today let me speak directly to our counterparts in north korea. It is time for us to do our jobs. Lets get to stone. We are here and you know how to reach us where the u. S. Envoy also stressed that President Trump remains confident that north Korean Leader kim jong un is quote committed to the same goal as the u. S. Side his evil john have comments now how the tables have turned over the past few years. Grumps relations with north korea have been erratic from loathing to admiration growing up going down sideways across every dimension really. Relationship with to me as you probably korea. Getting more interested in early stages they will be met with fire as a fury but only have a very Good Relationship with him just is on a Suicide Mission for himself while now the countries are back watching their relations freefall pyongyang fired the 1st shot literally through long range missile tests to rub american faces in it priceless data experience and new technologies gained in the recent tests will be fully applied to the development of another strategic weapon for definitely a more lively restraining and overpowering the Nuclear Threat of the u. S. Not a pleasant face rubbing for trump this is no ones idea of keeping America Great establishing their denuclearization deal has been hailed as a trumps crowning moment as president despite it now seeming as far away as ever but with time thinking away and before north koreas latest test washington acted like end of year deadline was in its problem. We do not have a year and a deadline theres an artificial deadline set by the North Koreans and unfortunately its a deadline that theyve set upon themselves fast forward to after the launch the u. S. Special representative for north korea puts on his best poker face and flies out to south korea the same guy youve just listened to saying that the deadlines for pyongyang not them its a universal time for new Year Resolutions but for trump its way bigger than just that its the result of his entire presidency 2 years ago he. Was the queen of the prom playing hard to get with pyongyang standing up his dates dishing out sanctions left and right now hes already conceded in his trade war with china backtracking on tariffs in exchange for a Pinky Promise from beijing so north korea wants to strike 2 while the election is hot and trump is soft i think for trump or kind of puts him in a bind because the only thing you have going for him as for the humor it is that hes open dialogue with north korea and of. It goes nowhere because he refuses to offer a north korea anything exchange for demanding to know clarification that hes got nothing to show for Reelection Campaign that implied 30 year north korea and after the new year if there is no resumption of talks that they would resume their intermediate. I. C. B. M. Program under clear Weapons Program of course i think in reality north korea would probably hold off on that and still hope that talks could resume but theyre trying to encourage basically the u. S. To return to the negotiating table a resumption of tensions or resumption of dialogue thats choices up the United States and stead of offering north korea and through the u. S. Hostile policy which threatens its right to survive oh and development then there can be no hope for a solution kim jong un and trump all known pen pals and the u. S. President enjoyed their correspondence a lot i got a very full letter from him yesterday with the. Liberty. With a great. Lets think it was really i thought he might not enjoy this Christmas Gift north korea has already put under the white house tree though along with a few into continental firecrackers too late to help the new year is a quick look at some other stories you can find r.

At risk. In particular we as Health Care Professionals want to be able to continue to do our jobs the way we were tired and the way we want to without any discrimination about interests which has become systemic we dont have the equipment but its not our fault that we are understaffed but thats not our fault either i work in hospital one of our patients died almost a year ago simply because we dont have enough staff to take care of everyone that was a year ago but nothing has changed since then strikes have been ongoing in the Health Sector since march last month president mike corley pledged more hospital funding im debating this is a start but that was rejected by the doctors groups is not doing enough meanwhile the government is poised to push ahead with its reform agenda particularly with the controversial pension reform thats despite the continued opposition on the streets as tens of thousands demand an immediate. Well in a further blow to the president must go on he has seen the countrys minister for pension reform quote. The high commissioner for pensions was one of my calls most trusted allies he resigned not just over the pensions for all but all through to emerged that he had failed to declare more than a dozen posts that he had held in addition to his cabinet job and that corn and his government remain locked in a standoff with the unions and neither side seems willing to budge.

Business boom bust broadcasting around the globe and covering the world of business and finance and the impact on us all and im christiane why i think im canceling markets today one of mexicos top trade officials says that one of the biggest claims about the u. S. N. C. A. A. Is going to happen because it violates mexican law and sovereignty well explained class friends new Prime Minister is ready to make good supporting parts of england that came out thanks for him wont break down Boris Johnson spending spree and do it well.

S. Embassy a trade deal mexicos trade representative now says there is no way that they will allow labor inspectors as part of the deal the reason for that because according to mexicos Deputy Foreign minister a mexican law does not allow it listen. Now do you still do need to. Use officials who are accredited at your embassy and consulates in mexico as a laborer talc a could be may not in any case have inspection powers under mexican law. Now that. They he says that mexico will never allow quote disguised labor inspectors you know in the last sticking points to get the deal done was in force ability of labor standards in mexico with something House Democrats a push for and an x. That was built into this agreement essentially put in place a tree that was presented and it proposed designation of up to 5. U. S.
