Hello youre watching the week here on alt International Im resigned a lot welcome to the program im glad im a putin has personally thanked donald trump for a tip off from u. S. Intelligence that helped intercept a terror plot in St Petersburg medina cochon of the reports. Russias federal Security Service detain 2 people that were allegedly planning to carry out terrorist attacks in the city of St Petersburg now according to the Security Service these people in question were planning terrorist attacks in crowded places during a new years celebrations it was also reported that avid and shedding light on some of their intentions was also found this scene while they were being detained Russian Federal Security Service a mages these a rest on the 27th of december following information that was received there america. Colleagues now some may say that it was a significant step in the relationships between the 2 countries and in a telephone conversation the russian president Vladimir Putin thanked his american counterpart donald trump for this piece of data that helped prevent these attacks they prevented what could have been a tragic catastrophe as the city of san petersburg russias northland capital is packed with people during new Year Holidays so this piece of information how to prevent a horrible situation indeed both president s discussed a range of pressuring issues they agreed to continue cooperation in the fight against terrorism actually last time they spoke was in july and in person they mad back in june at the g. 20 summit in japan at the time the meeting was said to be quite long and productive so it does seem that both sides trying to keep the line of contact open. But we spoke to Chris Phillips former head of the counterterrorism Security Office he says the Case Highlights the need for cross Border Intelligence sharing. What it does point out as well is that we live in such an interconnected world now that intelligent sources the us of obviously go are also dealing with people and that are planning incidents in. Petersburg and and i think were going to see more of this because because of the use of internet use telephones these interconnected groups able to strike anywhere so well you can only hope that Companies Work together not only against terrorism but the bigger thing actually possibly even bigger than terrorism is organized crime because organized criminals are wreaking havoc across the world at the moment weve seen people murdered in london and a computer recently a lot to do with drugs and of course he says this is a big problem for all companies. The u. S. Military has carried out 5 s. Strikes in iraq in syria killing at least 19 people and injuring dozens american officials have called it a defensive operation against iran backed militant group. What we did was take a decisive response that makes clear what the president has said for months and months and months which is that we will not stand for this long probably because the put american men and women in jeopardy former defense took office of actions in defense of our personnel and interests in iraq by launching 15 strike eagle against 5 targets associated with hizbullah which is named the iranian sponsored Shiite Militia group well according to the u. S. As you just heard the bombing raids were tiny ation for fridays rocket strike on the cook base in iraq which killed one American Contractor no group has yet claimed responsibility for that attack but the pentagon has blamed the type and on group that emerged after the u. S. Invasion of iraq and has repeatedly targeted american troops it is also one of the main shia forces fighting against Islamic State in both iraq and syria. According to the Iraqi News Agency the countrys president has condemned the u. S. Strikes calling them home full to the country and the Prime Minister has described the operation as a violation of iraqi sublimity and a dangerous escalation for the region former pentagon official Michael Maloof gave us his views on the situation. The u. S. Doesnt need much of a provocation to escalate this not only inside iraq but toward iran directly everything is on a razors edge already and i dont think that we need to have any more provocations on either side that could launch into a full blown attack and thats basically also all the trump would need basically to divert attention away from. Impeachment preoccupation and unite and unite the country and so this this is coming at a very very dangerous time. And other news that shaped the week catholic style has held a day of mourning for the 12 People Killed in a plane crash on friday dozens more were injured in the tragedy including children the ark the aircraft lost altitude just after takeoff from the countrys largest city on mattie on a domestic flight it clipped a concrete barrier and crashed into a building in a residential area investigators are looking at 3 possible causes of the tragedy a pilot error a technical malfunction and bad weather heres how events unfold it. Oh no. It isnt. The only thing. That you can simply look at the reason we were. Not aware of the shores it was a boarder at the airport with the purpose of. The did the monitoring of drug abuse. Not primarily medically have a good writer. Unit. Whole. Washington rushing to a playful strong jolt on the left wing literally seconds later the plane began to rock back and forth like a boat i began to tighten my belt panic and already began the children had started crying when the plane began to go down i think it was clear that would definitely go into the ground so i braced myself for impact then the sewing caved in to the mergence the door was open so we jumped on the wing and against slipping because it was icy we helped each other to get down. And Geoffrey Thomas from Airline Ratings dot com gave us his thoughts on what might have gone wrong early indications point to 2 possible causes one is that as we can see snow sleet snow everywhere it was very very cold icing conditions and it may well have been that the plane was not correctly d. I still not diaz did all and if theres a build up of ice on the wing as soon as the plane takes off youre going to have a situation where youre told the lift over the top of the wing the air over the top of the wing is disturbed therefore you lose lift the plane or you reach now 2 to 40 feet and then crash back to earth. And the other thing we but theres a possibility there was an engine problem we know the aircraft reached takeoff speed of about 175 miles an hour and then quickly lets speak quickly to within a 2nd or 2 of takeoff back to 140 and thats when all the data was lost. So possible engine problem possible icing problem on the wings. U. S. Democratic president ial hopeful Michael Bloomberg has apologized for the use of prison labor by his Campaign Team female inmates were recruited to call up voters although bloomberg himself tonight is he knew what was happening we learned about this when the reporter called us but as soon as we discovered which friend a subcontractor had done this we immediately ended our relationship with the company and the people who hired them imagine being so reach you have people who have people who have prisoners to do stuff for you. Being so rich you dont even bother to chair what you are spending millions of dollars on. Rita rating we sat in did when we learn a vendor of a vendor of a vendor use prison labor we did know about it and we never would have allowed it we dont believe in this practice and we immediately stopped working with pro com and the people who hired them so so how do you do it pay someone to pay someone to tell them Mike Bloomberg is a big spender he was last to do in the president ial race and he has already outspent all the other democrat candidates on Campaign Advertising i mean the guy has so much money he doesnt seem to have the time to check what he spent a good dog but they his credit Michael Bloomberg did promise america more work just to. Get it. For president create. Problems. Right america more jobs even if you dont particularly want them what makes it much much worse is that many of the prisons in the states a private run for profit and there are laws that force people to work so if you are in a jail and you are told to work you have to youll be punished sometimes they pay you as much as 20. 00 a month thats right 20. 00 a month now heres the irony Mike Bloomberg billionaire one of the richest people in america was essentially paying for what is a slave labor to cool people apparently tell them that hes a good guy wait the bloomberg is he was paying someone to pay someone to tell everyone what a good guy he is trump says he wants to run the nation like hes running is business god help us. Everybody says stuff that comes back to bite them but when billionaires do it its generally an order of magnitude more cringing it gets. Worse the further you dig when he launched his campaign his media Bloomberg News sent out a letter to thousands of its journalists pledging to uphold its principle of not investigating its own or this is the sort of person mike is Mike Bloomberg started as a middle class kid to work his way through college and built a business from a single room to a global entity creating tens of thousands of could paying jobs along the way. There. He probably should but he didnt let me continue he became richer year after year he made really a selling bank is ludicrous lee priced products all gadgets the same bankers who threw on bridal greed set off the 2000 a 5 actual crash the province tens of millions of people of whom as of life savings and jobs. Michael bloomberg for president. Or Michael Bloomberg is ranked number 9 in the world on the forbes rich list past investigative journalist Dave Lindorff believes that does not necessarily make him a good candidate for president. It really shouldnt be acceptable for anybody liberal or conservative to use prison labor its forced labor bloomberg is a multibillionaire is worth like 54000000000. 00 hes made his money by you know not paying attention to things like that. That hes not concerned about the little guy. Which i guess becomes you know if youre if youre supposedly a democrat youre concerned about the little guy. Its enormous a packer see it a big problem because i think its going to hurt him a lot i dont know where people get the idea that bloomberg is the great savior for democrats in the race in the race to get struck he has almost no poll support all the money. Billionaires have not traditionally done that well running for office its. You know you got to have money to run for president but when you have that much money i think most people are pretty suspicious of your motives in running for office. Ukraine and the selfproclaimed peoples republic in the east of the country have completed a prisoner swap president selenski was it to meet 76 people released by the breakaway regions he goes down of has more on the story. Well we do have some official figures finally we do know for a fact that more than a 100 people to pot and this will in the swamp in total for instance we do know that key of has sent some 61 people form of prisoners to the territories of the selfproclaimed and thats kind of peoples republics and those breakaway regions into send 176 of their former president as back to kiev now this whole thing was only possible because of the normandy full of the latest round of the normandy for talks when Vladimir Putin for the 1st time met the ukrainian president flatterers lenski on. The german chancellor Angela Merkel and the french president of manual necron being there as well this was one of the one of the things one of the agreements that they reached during that meeting in paris now this war has seen there have been a few hitches and if you said backs of to this what for instance we do know that at least 2 people 2 persons refused to take part in it they refused to go back from donetsk and lugansk republics regions for one reason or another also all saw 5 former members of birchard police unit an elite police unit that took part in dispersing the protests the protests the mind on uprising back in back when it happened they were part of the swap too and they didnt go well with some people because some people in ukraine they share a rather radical stance a rather radical view look on whats going on on the war and so on and what happened on the my done and they share not just animosity but pure hatred towards form a burka members so yesterday there was a Court Hearing in clear in the ukrainian capital on the fate of the of of those 5 persons now they were released which effectively thats why thats how it became possible for them to become part of the swap and those more radically inclined individuals they they didnt take it well that you showed up at the codes at the courts doors they clashed with the police chanting slogans like death to burkhard and so on and so forth but so far it looks that the prisoners will put over rule has been a success which is a major step for the ball for the sides for the currently warring sides.

With small steps can make a world of difference. A very legal way of defining being on the brink of a constitutional crisis our fingers crossed hoping the son didnt spend nights sweating away with a convicted sex offender and then the icing sugar on top of the youll log the un decided to pick the day christ was born to talk about how motherhood is a real chore which will apparently leave you poor bond employed and most likely gender discriminated against i wonder if mary and joseph consider these downsides as they rode to bethlehem so yeah its tough to know how to wish people while at this time of year but i dont want to miss out on the fun so mary day the christ was born but only if you recognize christ im not forcing anything on you so lets just say its a when to hard to if the time when to doesnt offend this is a safe space after all totally up to you how you want to celebrate this day or not your call.

It is a long held tradition on cross talk to take stock of the year that is about to pass we have a look at what moved us what changed and what gave us concern us 2019 the good the bad and the. Pull in the welcome to worlds apart of the lenni also evolution have turned humans into one of the most adaptable and successful species on the planet with even the capacity for self harm and even selfannihilation i think traits that once helped us survive now precipitating our own demise well to discuss that im now joined by dr David Perlmutter a neurologist and bast selling author dr perlmutter its such a privilege to talk to you thank you very much for your time well oksana and so delightful to be with you today thank you now were recording this conversation a few days before new years eve when millions of people around the globe will be promising to themselves to leave better house the air a more fulfilling lives and yet they know from from the statistics that most of those pledges will remain and realized why do you think it is such a challenge what a terrific question to lead off with and you know there are so many books out there there are so many programs online and cetera that really give out good information about what we should eat that we should actual size Pay Attention to our sleep but the problem is so many people end up with these books on their bookshelves and year after year they go on. And the reason is now we have to start paying attention to making making the choices so what we are describing in our new book brainwash is the bridge between information and action really finally giving people 2 things number one the recognition that their Decision Making has been taken from them actively and number 2 how to get it back now full disclosure ive been one of you a big fans ever since your number one New York Times bestseller grain brain was published in 2013 it gave me and im sure many other people didnt know the agency to make a long lasting Lifestyle Changes but as you said in a couple of weeks youll have a new book out brainwash what are you trying to achieve with that. Well were hoping to achieve some very very big things and what were trying to bring to the public attention is the fact that our modern world our modern society through the foods that were eating our lack of sleep and certainly from all of the time we spend connected to Digital Media is changing the wiring of our brain as it relates to our ability to make good decisions im going to put forward a simple kind of understanding of 2 brain parts one is a part called the prefrontal cortex it sits up here in the forehead and the other is called the amygdala between the ears the a mega is like the child in the room its impulsivity its narcissism its us versus them it is fear the prefrontal cortex is empathy its compassion its thinking about the future in terms of what we do today thats where we need to make our decisions based from from the prefrontal cortex unfortunately when we eat the modern diet of our planet or when we watch the news or we spend too much time online we lock in to the a magdalen we lock in to the child in the room and were not able to make good decisions as i mentioned at the beginning of our time together while all the great books are there theyre not useful for anybody unless were able to implement or put bring action in terms of what all these terrific books are talking about in the same thing goes really for our mentality how we look at other people our next door neighbors people in another community and even people in other cunts
