Coming from moscow this is our team in iraq where several rocket attacks have taken place including in close facility to the American Embassy in baghdad on the military base near the capital there are now reports as well of a strike on a base in the Northern City of mosul off gave me the details a little earlier. Well something is definitely in the air and we do not know for sure exactly what have been the targets what exactly those mortar strikes targeted but we do know the approximate locations and well within with all the context around that people can draw conclusions out of the situations so far 3 confirmed strikes in the vicinity of baghdad the iraqi capital some mortar shells landed 2 not far from a base where american troops are stationed outside of the iraqi capital and some shells landed within the vicinity of the green zone of the green of the socalled green zone areas indeed yes it is it is like a city within a city ive got the general baghdad and then theres a very. Very aware that not all people are being let in that is heavily guarded apparently towards targeted as well as some mortar shells landed not far from an American Embassy there which is located there some unconfirmed reports of strikes not far from the city of mosul of an iraqi Regional Army base where apparently american troops are stationed as well now as im saying this is not clear whether or not they were targeted and again we do not know were those strikes originated from so still we still have to look into that now all of that comes again it comes against the backdrop of the killing of the reigning in general in iraq seems really money he was the 2nd most powerful figure in iran and in so top a top general also hezbollah in iraq a militant group that has enjoyed support of iran it has warned the rocky government that they that their people that the rockies should probably stay away from any bases where american troops are located where american troops are stationed his ball has said that his ball in a row. That. Everyone should stay away from it least one kilometer away from those from those places so a lot of tension in the you know world war 3 has been trending in the past in the past few days and in general this whole conflict between you run in the United States and with the escalation that they got by the killing by killing this top general my colleague. Hes been looking into that and hes hes were told. The u. S. Leadership has been saying on almost every platform they can find that they are working to deescalate tensions with the Islamic Republic of iran that was the time to take this action so that we could disrupt this plot deter further aggression from qassam so the bombing of the Iranian Regime as well as to attempt to deescalate the situation its not an easy case to make killing the countrys 2nd most powerful person most well known military leader and commander of the elite could force of the revolutionary guards doesnt look like deescalation however washington insists its actions were a defensive measure at the direction of the president the u. S. Military has taken decisive defensive action to protect u. S. Personnel abroad to by killing costume stolen money this strike was aimed at deterring future iranian attack plans the iranians are already promising revenge for the Supreme NationalSecurity Council of iran held an emergency meeting on friday and announced that they had made difficult decisions at the right time and place then jens will be extracted the south of aggression by the us i mean they should they should expect anything as it is a lot of this this aggression the International Community is now gripped by fear that we could be on the brink of war there is no justification under International Law and moral law our constitution is just aggravation and the fact there were they are in. Way as a guest and have an embassy there weve never had been given any authority to do what we did i think its morally wrong and if theyre doing this to make us safer they said that we had they had to do this to make american safe complete nonsense i i feel less safe because there will be retaliation and expansion and who knows what is going to lead to. Washington says its an ally of the Iraqi Government and its working in iraqs best interest however baghdad is completely on the happy with this move the assassination of an Iraqi Military commander is an aggression on iraq as a State Government and people its a flagrant violation of iraqs sovereignty and dangerous escalation that triggers a destructive war in iraq the region and the world it violates the conditions authorizing the presence of u. S. Troops on iraqi soil the iraqis dont consider this to be a particularly friendly gesture they want to restart the su war again among the shia who dont want this to happen what has happened is a blatant violation of iraqi sovereignty the fact that hes a high state official in a government that were not at war with weve crossed the rubicon not only in tehran but in moscow beijing pyongyang caracas they all have to sit there and say to themselves all right the americans now feel entitled to kill anybody and our government because of what over what disagreements over syria or whatever else. The International Response has been vocal china says it is concerned turkey is angry and syria accuse the United States of spreading instability its a pity to see. The great by what the United States used. To kid somebody. The way gangs do it but not everyone agrees though israel says job well done. President roh deserves all the credit for acting swiftly forcefully decisively busy with the United States in this just struggle force Peace Security and so firms americas nato allies are not thrilled at all we have woken up to more dangerous world the us action did not make it any easier to reduce tensions parties to deescalate for the conflict is in none of our interests. They didnt exactly go over well at home either American Media has echoed all sorts of allegations about solid money most americans had never heard of before saying he is the new face of terrorism and evil but democrats say that trump is rushing the country to war without congressional approval the risk of a much longer military engagement in the middle east is acute and immediately. This action may well have brought our nation closer to another endless war exactly the kind of endless war the president promised he would not drag us into now donald trump is defending it he says he saved lives and that hes protecting the country however in some of his responses hes actually said that solomonic should have been killed years ago so why now is perhaps donald trump trying to play the card of being a National Savior in the lead up to an election i dont foresee the iranians making a rash choice because they understand the neo cons who are behind shawns policy and trump him so funny iran they dont want anything more than to have iran do a very who are high profile strike back the us Propaganda Machine is in high gear demonizing stolen money who 99. 9 percent of americans had never heard of 2 days ago. Is worse than hitler killing americans left and right none of this is true none of this is supported by facts but the Propaganda Machine is on high high high alert and americans are being prepared for another war so i dont see the iranians taking the bait dont you know mccallums ending the report well on saturday the Iranian Military warned it has dozens of potential targets for reprisal attacks. The street of hormuz is a vital point for the west and a large number of american destroyers and warships cross their crucial american targets in the region have been identified by iran some 35 u. S. Targets in the region as well as tell of eve are within our reach iran is in the same position perhaps that the us going of course after a lot of. American drones in the gulf and after that attack on kerry one base near record where an American Contractor and some american soldiers were wounded that im doing a lot of pressure to react and so therefore i think that iran has been warning for men listening through the supreme guide of the stanek republic up with its military officials its president that they will take Decisive Action so there will likely to be action otherwise this will undermine their credibility after the recent events that have taken place it was decided that the work of u. S. Forces in iraq will be restricted they can act only with iraqi consent but after such a stab in the back we will of course limit their activities what will the u. S. Through wednesday was assuming the parliament the government called for the withdrawal of u. S. Forces will they rise will drop that is what a former senior official well the. Intelligence agency of the pentagon colonel lang and it was a middle east expert who said if we dont grow up that were going to be seen as imperialist hypocrites and if we do this will also influence and impact the u. S. Position although he said that President Trump has always wanted to get out of iraq so this may be a chance if that happens for him to work for. You know protesters are marching in iran in 70 American Cities with one of the biggest rallies currently taking place in new yorks times square several 100 people are waving a reunion flags and holding portraits of general salaam money theyre also urging the u. S. To leave the middle east activists from groups better ins for peace the Anti War Coalition other processed organizations are there to earlier hundreds gathered outside of Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumers apartment block shouting no war with iraq. People are rallying in the iraqi city of the joffe where the coffins of general case seem so low money and the deputy leader of Iraqs Popular Mobilization forces muhammad ali it better he may have arrived earlier in the capital baghdad where the assassination took place thousands of militia men and supporters chanted america is the great satan during a funeral procession the body of general salami is due to be returned to iran on sunday. Ok to more world news now a Senior British Police chief has warned that the levels of Child Exploitation in the country are edging towards their highest in over a century sean sawyer who leads britains modern slavery policing effort sees that drug gangs are the Main Driving Force and the policies have also been a factor for these children they almost back to victorian times and to being criminally exploited these kids are looking for family and security for understandable reasons most state Youth Services have been vacated this gap to youth provision between the school and family is the void of the exploited feeling. Home Office Figures say about a month alone there were more than 18 and a half hours in suspected child victims in the past year an increase of almost 3 quarters from 2018. The chief constable sawyer also pointed the finger at government cuts to Youth Services but the home office insists its doing all it can to stop Child Exploitation sure of phoenix from the anti Discrimination Group the black child agenda and the high rates and the issues that we have with young people in the caste system as well who if there was another study done youd actually find the majority of these 2 is a much Bigger Picture its not as simple as whats been said. On the way rewarded for pushing painful reforms why theres anger in france over awarding a top gong to an American Bank boss linked to the countrys divisive Pension Changes its a more a story still a. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is off and spearing Dramatic Development is only going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. Having all this half of the program in or media where a criminal network has been uncovered about for over 20 years forced mothers to give up their newborns against their will so that they could be sold for adoption abroad refinished the report. This is a story with many children involved but it is not one of these typical happy ending tales a team might expect to hear during Holiday Season an investigation is on to go in now in armenia into an alleged black market Adoption Network believed to have been operating for years to citizens of the republic of armenia using their contacts in one of the republican obstetrical institutions organized the adoption of more than 3 dozen children more than 30 babies to italy and there were also cases of adoption by u. S. Couples one of the victims has been trying to achieve justice for almost 2 decades already her name is susanna she says 20 years ago doctors pressured her to give up her daughter stella threatening to report her case of a 16 year old mother to police and her father she signed papers refusing her rights. Because i held my baby in my arms after he was born but i stayed in the hospital for another 2 days or so but i didnt see him ever again they told me that he was born prematurely and didnt survive i was given some peoples to sign but i was too weak to. And what i was signing in december the armenian authorities detained the countrys chief obstetrician who sits on the accuses of threatening her and other officials as part of the probe does make a better man was released several days later due to lack of evidence sparked public outrage. A lawyer who has represented susanna since 2013 has hes explanation for 7 long years we were shouting about it at every corner this is the mafia that is stronger and more powerful than the one controlling drug traffic i can say there were relatives of the rulers involved. In 2017 Human Rights Watch released a 102 page report titled when will i get to go home documenting thousands of cases of children in armenia needlessly often forcefully isolated separated from their families and placed to institutions more than 90 percent of them have at least one living parent and said the International Ngo then tried to draw attention to disturb in inaction by authorities the government over mean year has made some bold commitments to reduce the number of children in institutions but needs to make sure those promises backed by a serious sustained action 2 years later last september the authorities notice that 4 times as many children went to foreign blackrock france is nothing but an anecdote blackrock is simply the dark side of the bench and recruited to officer of the legion of warner on january the 1st as a reward for pillaging of our work pay as you go passions the presentation of the legion of honor to john francis was to relieve the provocation it reveals the close ties that exist between the graun and world of finance hes in our retirement system to american Pension Funds its a big deal strikes against pension reform and now into their 5th week its the longest running strike in half a century across problems people have taken to the streets to let the government know that plans to merge 42 different Pension Plans into one universal system at the same time as raising the age of retirement are not welcomed. Lose on pension reform lose and everything and the next issue is the form of Social Security and social protection. We are not at all in favor of the status quo we are in favor if improving the system but not tearing it down and we will go on and 2 lives withdrawn and improved but. Has already come under fire officers accused of attacking french pensions now its alleged to have provided recommendations to the government in regards to the reform under way and it will benefit from any privatization of frances redistributive pay as you go Pension Schemes something the government and bush cork is at pains to deny in no way have. An influence on the current Pension System see to what dispatch the French Market is a box of trees from took talking nonsense. And there is a big but in an internal document unveiled by french t. V. In many t. V. Last month that books of treats is a lot bigger than the secretary of state to my time do you believe it outlines the high market value in france and how black rock wanted a piece of the pie critics say bestowing the legion of honor on black ops manning fronts is a rude for the pillage of the country social retirement system and while blackrock perhaps isnt as well placed as others to take a huge slice of french Pension Savings it certainly is primed and ready to jump into the market a lot of people are afraid that the complete french Pension Scheme is going to change that this is just a 1st big step to go to something that would be more of a totally funded scheme which is the contrary whats going on today in france and this is obviously from a political point of view very bad time and the middle of this message strikes which is were going this is going on for practically or a month records now a lot of that has satisfied a lot of people who are very tired of the strikes from the people say that they wont stop the strikes until the government draws back from its initial its giving the impression that there is a plan b. That there is something created by the government is actually just laying down the ground. But theres something worse. The number of dead calls by bush fires in the street and has risen to 23 with 6 people also missing in 2 states New South Wales and victoria the nations largest warship is being sent to help with a viking way sions from the fire hit areas 3000. 00 reserve troops have also been called up on sunday 100 so far as broke power lines and cutting off electricity in fact skellies turned red in the south east of the country after a wild fires intensified because of strong winds the 1st outbreak started back in september the mits record temperatures so far 1500 homes have been destroyed. And what a sight that is just a reminder the tender box situation right now is following washingtons cutting off irans top military commander in iraq can be followed on a website dont miss a thing at r. T. Dot com. Just by thats all. Good now. Thats not whats good for markets its not good for the global economy. But is through 6 physics is nothing but the harmony you can create on vibrating strings but its chemistry chemistry is the melody the melodies you can play on strings what is the universe the universe is a symphony of strings. What a marriage act to deny a timely camp happy 2020. Final new years like that joke i said every year but this could be the one so we know the Live Audience persona redacted tonights because guess what everyone got smashed out of their minds on new years so our Live Audience is you know still hung over likely in a ditch somewhere trying to get cheese orders out of their hair before finding their underpants and then hitching a ride home ok thats what theyre busy with they have time to come in tonight but i have something perhaps even better than a regular episode we the United States are the largest prison state in the world we have the most prisoners per capita and the most prisoners total people call this the land of the free and they clearly no clue what theyre talking about in fact one of the stories we covered in the past year is that the us prison population is over double what the government tries to tell us it is and it was already the highest anyway the redacted team and i took some time to put together the best prison segments from our episodes over the past year theres no way you wont learn something in the next 30 minutes and hopefully accidentally we might make you laugh here and there without further ado here is our best Prison Industrial Complex segments from 2019 it has come out that over new years many mainstream outlets including n. B. C. The Washington Post usa today and highlights magazine took time out of their Holiday Schedule to do with the lords work and by that i mean of course thrashing Prison Inmates for having the nerve to eat dinner the Washington Post ran with ivan ate like a boss 7 federal prisoners sir. Of steak by unpaid guards during shutdown how dare they everyone knows prisoners in this great nation should be served only one kind of meat mystery all right that is it but its good for them its good for inmates to exercise their minds by trying to figure out what kind of meat that is. But i agree with the Washington Post n. B. C. Usa today these prisoners should be more harshly punished for the Government Shutdown they had nothing to do with i really really and a government they didnt even vote for say thats another perfect prisoners are living high on the hog was i get all the cool stuff they dont have to vote for its gone by politicians. They get all the good. Stuff 6. Which is close to show our Mainstream Media doesnt just manufacture consent for war they manufacture consent for whatever genocide that meal is. That is no war crime right there since weeks governor bill haslam granted full clemency to send toya browns and toyah brown was a sex Trafficking Victim who at 16 killed a man to try to escape she was sentenced to life in prison but now will be released because Governor Haslam was overcome with a disease that rarely a fish afflicts politicians its called compassion all right it. Was cold swagg maybe. And among our corporate politicians severe vomiting. So there you go politicians can do wonderful things when they do the things they never do after being forced to do them by thousands of people demanding they do it. Also it helps when kim guard ashley and tweets about it definitely does and if you get caught reading on approved news maybe theyll add you to our massive prison population of 2500000 people oh wait a new study shows the
