Morning from moscow its 9 am here tuesday the 24th of december welcome to the program for us u. N. Officials have denounced a saudi arabias punishment of those involved in the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi calling it a mockery of justice 5 people have been sentenced to death and 3 others to jail time the u. N. Appointed rights investigators believe the people actually behind the Journalist School murder have been left untouched while the spokesperson for the u. N. Secretary general also stressed the importance of a further probe. The secretary general continues to stress the need for an independent and impartial investigation into the murder to ensure full examination of any accountability for Human Rights Violations committed in the case. Jamal khashoggi was last seen entering the Saudi Arabian consulate in istanbul in turkey in october 28th where he was then murdered the u. N. Report suggests his death with a state planned execution while riyadh insists it was the result of a rogue operation aussies capable. But look at how the death of a journalist who lived and worked in the United States affected washingtons relations with its top customer. The assassination of Jamal Khashoggi shocked the world and drew massive condemnation a saudi court recently sentenced 5 people to death and 3 more to jail over that killing however if you thought that this ruling would draw a line under the case think again this is what the Washington Post workers showed you work had to say the complete lack of transparency on the saudi governments refuses cooperate with independent investigate says suggests that this was merely a sham trying to now immediately after the killing last october many pointed a finger directly at the saudi monarchy among them are u. S. Senators austria the netherlands denmark and finland immediately banned the sales of weapons to the saudi monarchy however donald trump immediately ruled out any such ban in the United States and he made no secret about his reasons but as to whether or not we should stop 110000000000. 00 from being spent in this country knowing they have 4 of 5 alternatives 2 very good alternatives that would not be acceptable to me for the past 2 years democrats and republicans have called for the u. S. Flow of arms to saudi arabia to stop those same arms have been used to lay waste to yemen sense 2015. But now it seems the battle to stop those arms exports is over on friday donald trump was presented with a congressional defense spending bill by the us congress and that bill contained no anti saudi measures some democrats are furious votes this would be a pool tonight that instead of seizing the opportunity and illegal u. S. Participation in the horrific saudi led bombings of Yemen Congress will continue to fund trumps unconstitutional will the blame game is now in full swing with congressman denying that they capitulated by letting the bill pass i wasnt cavan i was fighting to the last conceivable minute the u. S. Can talk all it wants about human rights and condemn the pointless slaughter of civilians abroad however when it comes to the u. S. Relationship with saudi arabia the deep financial and military interests are just too important to sidestep and its almost musing that the saudi regime thinks that it would be a good Public Relations move to send inspired low level participants to death in a secretive process that just continues to make them look like a very backwards state where justice is not served in the house and senate have now repeatedly voted in multiple votes in amendments to end in bipartisan fashion to end the u. S. Involvement in this horrific horrific war in yemen democrats could have very easily negotiated. Harder and said if this provision was not in that they would have voted it down and they chose not to do that i think trumps covering for the saudi regime is starting to look very peculiar i think even to you number of his supporters some of his more very far right wing republican supporters in congress and have armed together with progressive democrats on this issue. Now with christmas just around the corner a new t. V. Comedy has outraged christians in brazil after putting a satirical and apparently offensive twist on the story of jesus his life the netflix show depicts christ as a gay man who liked to party. Yeah. I knew but i still dont want you. To assign a male something. Over 2000000 have signed an online petition calling for the show to be removed from netflix they also want an apology from the people who made the movie over the offense its cold but the Production Company behind it is not backing down. As the petition against his picks up steam we celebrate the success of yet another one of gods creations Christmas Special the 1st temptation of christ remains ever more powerful we call the future of radio and t. V. Host karen took on media analyst lionel. I dont know what this brazilian comedy troupe is thinking with offending me audience that theyre going after its just wrong its just scary saying christmas this is christening a major religion for a back story and its just making a joke out of a really sacred holiday for many catholics and many christians around the world 1st and foremost what this is is the greatest marketing ploy to takes home some 2nd rate 2 bit comedy and now elevate it internationally look if you dont like something go watch it people can talk turn off the t. V. But its another thing that the people are speaking through in this petition and they feel that its wrong and they dont want to they are in on that flex and you know what let netflix polit since the beginning of time since galileo there have been people who have dared to take on certain things which proved to be most problematic and not mad here to defend the idea when it here is to defend the idea of expression and thats it and i can say there and i can write down why this is blasphemous and its true whatever you think its terrific but we not only going to have a a sharlee abdo again do we do. Learn from this im all for letting people see this so long as netflix and the makers of this particular Tour De Force can look me in the i and say they will consider making a joke about muhammad or abraham or any other religion i think that really what needs to happen is we need to start to have respect for religions but the reality is that the people have spoken and they want this thing taken down the best way to kill and quell than just dilute any kind of negative idea that you dont like is to be indifferent to it i think that they should have had a little more tact and putting this thing out about christmas now well it should have the respect for the religion for the people that have spoken in this country and a respect for tradition you know its christmas. Because of fears of terrorism concerns over Political Correctness playing on peoples minds it seems that for some in western countries christmas just isnt quite the same anymore the driver explains why. Christmas in europe what a wonderful time of the year Christmas Markets in full swing perfect for those last minute gifts the smell of sweet treats teasing you nostrils and on an evening walking in a movie in the list streets perhaps not cold with a special someone to keep you from the wind to chill not a care in the world but goodwill to all thought in recent times thats also come with increased security travel warnings and with some traditions now deemed woke what could be called the whole whole whole marginalization of the Christmas Period the terrorists are very likely to try to carry out attacks in germany you should be vigilant and follow the advice of local authorities security is of course power mounted all major of the send Christmas Markets on different the terror attacks on the market in strands last year and here in berlin and 2016 are still fresh in the memory. You can run the most this festively is you like but these ball on the bar is to try and stop Christmas Markets becoming a target again. So. This also would beat a number of questions raised over the inclusive ety of some christmas traditions with one person being publicly shamed for saying father christmas instead of sunset. Ive just been shamed on a Facebook Group for using the name father christmas and told that santa is now seen as gender neutral its a common trope in the press to say christmas is being done away with this year it does seem quite difficult to do christmas without upsetting someone a good chunk of people polled say they boxed agenda neutral santa christianity is pretty central to the christmas celebrations christ after all this in may the 1 school in the u. K. Decided to change the words to the carol away in a manger from little lord jesus to baby boy jesus prompting a prole from parents and National Newspapers alike saying this was inclusive its gone too far in france theres a ban on the titty scenes under their religious imagery laws the mayor of bessie is rebels and faced backlash once the go to seasonal salutation only really in north america happy holidays is the right way to wish people well were told with Merry Christmas deemed inappropriate by some even if you avoid the causing offense minefield you can still fall down on the Environmental Impact of christmas 57 percent of those polled here in germany said they would i the limit they use solve all abundant entirely Christmas Lights over Environmental Concerns if you prefer a Real Christmas tree good luck finding one in some parts of the usa where over the last 5 years Christmas Tree shortages have been reported with changes in temperature and rainfall cited among the reasons theres even been advice published over how to correctly argue with your Climate Change denying relatives over the Christmas Period is what the people in europe those think of christmas 29 teens. Do and donts. The family getting i want to tell you boy and eating each other so often just a spirit of christmas the question is whether tradition is not the same as why it wouldnt tradition be inclusive she writes and i think santa should just be what hes always been and thats a big man with a big big big. Think that would be wonderful just to have a female presence as a father christmas im big on tradition so i think science has always been santa i dont think theres any real issue with it for some population Merry Christmas means something religious so i will continue with the matter of christmas for me i think happy holidays is fine i think everybody should celebrate his own hold of it but he read it to accept friends relatives so horrible it was their own and wishing you all a very happy holidays in the hope that gender neutral sun brings you a sense of Security Control of a building. A lake reporter a feel good canadian authorities were ready to deploy snipers against Indigenous People protesting against a gas pipeline on the territory of british newspapers obtain notes from a strategy session on the right on the web so its a nations lands where police said lethal overwatching is required a term used for deploying snipers the conflict around the pipelined been ongoing for a decade now. Like people it was way before the stars came here. The injunction was granted by the Supreme Court to allow us access to do the work in media and the courts do not have any jurisdiction on whats right in territories. Nobody can. On that be when they were trying to take down the gate there were people that were attached to the gate and we were trying to tell them that and trying to talk to them and let them know that if they were using extreme violence against the gate that they were putting peoples lives that once and they ignored us and their direction was clear that they could do whatever they wanted and that there were no consequences or no consideration for anybody safety there was no reason for them to have snipers at the gate on january 7th weve never weve never done anything to give that justification weve posted pictures and shared that we have sound ways here that we have children here. A Canadian Police say they were denied access to the leaked notes and claim that some of the phrases they contain are not generally used by the authorities meanwhile the governments Indigenous Services minister is demanding a review of the document. On 1st glance after having read that article there are a number of very deeply concerning words phrases and terms used and this is something that we need to revise it as a government and take a look at that because the terminology is entirely unacceptable well for the notes were published a social Media Campaign was launched in support of the indigenous population people posted photos with the hash tag would you shoot me to a spokesperson for another indigenous camp thinks that canada is trying to take the land from. The r. C. M. P. Right from poland now if they should were created to keep our people our land from the very beginning then contact the jail are. There if you had to leave their home or cabin i burnt ramon please gartner them up their last. Record called reservation the keeper of our law they can access the report and if you are over one triangle crime scene they have to have a permit from the federal go from the government or otherwise they got jailed for not having a permit from art groups in our history. The r. C. M. P. Have been created to keep our people off our lie and are even now after one year later were constantly being harassed constantly being threatened to rob for trying to access our own character and. Americas brand new military space force has got china alum to the reports among all stories still ahead. What politicians do something illegal. To put themselves on the line. To get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president bush or. More somehow want to be preached. To the right to be for us as a white woman for 3 of them or cant be good im interested always in the waters of our. Small seemed wrong when all were all just all. The world is yet to say proud disdain becoming educated and in gains from an equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart. Just to look for Common Ground the. Again frances largest Telecoms Company and its former chief executive have been found guilty of moral and following a series of staff suicides during the 2000 and France Telecom which is since been rebranded as orange had recently been privatized it was being restructured at the time that process caused thousands of job cuts and thousands more employees were placed in different roles which were often described as degrading as a result of the stress caused by the overhaul 1000 workers took their own lives a court is now ordered orange to pay a 75000 euro fine and sentence the former c. E. O. As well as 2 other former executives to time in prison we heard from some of the victims relatives. And. We are satisfied and happy 1st and foremost because according to the extracts from the letter that were read out to us by the court what happened is we recognize as wrong this is a reprehensible error wanted to be of the. Im glad that this guilty verdict has been delivered the decision we expected it was very important for the victims to be heard im very grateful to my lawyers and to everyone who supported the highly significant because up until no moral who has not be recognised as a crime and punished at the judicial level. For that ruling was significant it was the 1st time that a French Quarter found a corporation guilty of institutional heris mint but a lawyer for the companys former chief executive says he intends to appeal. Said mark we are talking about interpersonal harris meant in relation to an employee i believe this decision is completely and reasonable it has no legal basis. For a Climate Change has been in the headlines for most of the year and it seems like christmas is not off the hook either activists and i would odds with a favorite seasonal pastime ice skating and more particularly the ice rinks which pop up at this time of year charlotte to betsy explains. With the Festive Season in full swing what could be more typical of a Winter Wonderland than an ice skating rink across the world to thousands of temporary ones are directed every year and for many skittering across the ice is a Magical Experience but it seems not everyone is in or in the future of rinks could be on thin ice as the traditional ice rink has become the latest battleground for Climate Change french city wren has canceled its one citing concerns over the Carbon Footprint needed to maintain it in a few years it is not certain that there will still be snow at christmas but it is certain that there will no longer be an open air ice rink this is good news for the planets meanwhile in bordeaux rising costs financially and environmentally mean the outdoor skating rink was cancelled for the 3rd year running the outdoor skating rink is absolutely not with the times keeping an outdoor ice rink cold consumes a lot of electricity open for a little over a month the city hall skating rink cost 70000. 00 euros frances 1st indoor ice skating rink opened in paris an 876 it was an immediate hit and the idea has remained popular ever since but now with concerns about Climate Change is it time for us to rethink some of our traditions we asked people here in paris has this popular activity weighs up against the cost to the environment since i just saw its a tradition to have an open air skating ring like this its magical and when christmas is here and as you said theres not much snow is going to have very much. Depends when its cold enough and. Its possible. But when its not cold enough it doesnt have to be. You know weve seen many changes in the climate so i think its very good very good of some parts or citizen of france to do that but i agree the tide is rings are not good for global remember this is only one winter its not true that bad. Not they isnt often said that could keep everyone happy and its in the most unlikely of places mexico in a bid to keep a weed to feel to the holidays an eco friendly artificial ice rink is being installed and with options like that it seems that there is no longer a reason to skate around the issue charlotte ski. Paris. United states newly formed space force is causing concern in china which says it sees the new military unit as a direct threat to peace. We have all of the. Relevant u. S. Actions are a serious violation of the International Consensus on a peaceful use of outer space undermined global strategic balance instability and pose a direct threat to outer space peace and security we are deeply concerned about it and resolutely opposed to it the outerspace security that we will see when is the security for itself only. A lot of things happening in space. Grow space is the worlds newest were fighting. The space tourist will help us to ration and control the old height. Of the space forces the 1st new military service in the u. S. In 7 decades it will be made up of around 16000. 00 airforce and civilian personnel initial funding for around 40000000. 00 but that figure is expected to grow to several 1000000000 in the future its mission is to protect u. S. Assets such as satellites use for communications and surveillance but sara flounders from the antiwar International Action center says its more about washington weaponize in space. Here is really a star wars on steroids you could say being proposed by. President trump new legislation. Part of the largest u. S. Military budget and when you look at trump statements its not only to place weapons in space in is to dominate. This is a direct threat and so dangerous act there is an escalation in the liberal intentional escalation of threats against china a new enemy has created a new throughout when you could compare the nations. 800 u. S. Bases around the world no one country has been to the aircraft carrier. No wonder our country has. And now to the place more weapons in space or funding for the space force was confirmed on friday when President Trump side of the 738000000000. 00 annual u. S. Military budget for those watching the hawks on r. T. Follows the money trail. We spending more than the next 7 countries combined that includes china russia to north korea all of them thats thats an insane amount of defense spending when you really think about it in the global scale. I mean why do you think weve gone so nuts in terms of just funneling money into the military without any kind of check and balance just circling back to that i think one of the other challenges with this amount of money is its its basically intangible to the average american citizen on the 1. 00 hand its the end of the year its the holidays people arent paying close attention to these spending bills in the specifics that are in them but also when you put that number out there again its 738000000000. 00 the average person cant grasp just how much money that really is that is such an astronomical amount and i think if we perhaps had some some more conversations about just how much money that really is and get people to understand more than maybe they would demand more accountability of our members of congress and the department of defense in terms of how we allocate that money and how its spent. On standby for all new boom bust from the money that washington d. C. Twas the night before christmas and all over the world people are mining back on seeking individual sovereignty so no problem i just when you think. There are good and bad at it its the bad news in yemen the United States deems to be the good. Word 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 right away military windows funding an army of death squads theres no anymore because theres always a small people for really good. Profit. Same hammer i can use to smash someones head is the same hammer i can use to build them a home but thats a human choosing what to do with thats me expressing my values for the tool and thats what we need to do with Artificial Intelligence as well.
