A movie gangsters and it gets more fully youngsters dont speak and politically correct. News headquarters was just composed for in the morning youre watching on t. V. International welcome to the program and we start with this breaking news iran has fired dozens of miss also bases housing u. S. Forces in iraq the Iranian Military is calling it calling it a revenge operation for the death of Major General. Who was killed in a u. S. The pentagon has confirmed that the base in western iraq and the erbil base in Northern Iraq have been hit these are video this video. Is currently on verified but is purported to show the missiles flying from iran towards those 2 bases those 2 facilities house that u. S. And coalition for. Forces the statement said it is clear that these missiles were launched from iran due us media saying President Trump is expected to give an address to the nation on the latest escalation so far there is no information on casualties there and this of course follows irans warning that it would hit u. S. Targets in response to the death of its top general on january 3rd they rein in the military has called it operation martyrs solar many. Of the weapons of attacks on u. S. Facilities in iraq the president has been briefed and is monitoring the situation closely and consultancies his nations Security Team well as the missile strikes happened a spokesman for irans Supreme Leader tweeted this image of the iranian flag enough an apparent reference to trumps tweet of the u. S. Flag just before this us nation of Major General custom sulaimani on january 3rd. Well your President Trump backed down on a threat to destroy irans cultural sites the u. S. Lead a cause to global along with a series of tweets on saturday in which he said key iranian landmarks could be targeted at the country 6 revenge for the assassination of its top general kasim sulaimani but on tuesday trump said washington will Obey International Law we are according to various laws supposed to be very careful with their Cultural Heritage and you know what if thats what the law is i like your baby the law well meanwhile the Iranian Parliament has unanimously passed a bill designating the u. S. Armed forces as a terrorist organization. Well those who did this is well as the perpetrators of this crime the killing of general kassim son the money with the pentagon and then military counted as terrorists. Earlier the body of Major General salim money was taken back to his hometown for burial and its reported dozens of people were crushed to death in a huge crowd of there with hundreds injured. Meanwhile the Iranian Foreign minister has accused washington of violating u. N. Agreements after he was denied a u. S. Visa which means he cannot address the u. N. Later this week and the democrats are still angry with donald trump for failing to seek congressional approval for his actions in the middle east. And has more promise decision to kill irans top general isnt exactly bringing peace and stability to the middle east as the world is on edge waiting to see how bad the fallout will be democrats have spoken up however the objection of the democrats isnt that trump killed got some solid money but that he did it without their permission the operation against solo money in iraq was conducted without specific authorization and any advance notification or consultation with congress there is usually a congressional consulting process its both constitutionally required we see a gradual march to military action directly or indirectly with iran that has not been authorized by congress but they did actually have a chance to stop trump the recent 738000000000. 00 defense spending bill could have included amendments that tied trumps hands and mandated he not carry out any attacks against iran. No federal funds may be used for any use of military force in or against iran unless congress has a declared war or be enacted specific statutory authorization for such use of military force if the president wants to attack iran he needs to come to congress for authorization i proly support this amendment prohibits in the use of any funds for war with iran without congressional authorization and number of progressive voices did speak out but they got outvoted the bill was passed. Any member who voted for the National Defense authorization act a blank check cant now expressed dismay that trump may have launched another war in the middle east my amendment which has stripped would have cut off funding for any offensive attack against iran including gates officials like salim army now democrats in congress are looking to pass a resolution that would not stop but only limit trumps actions when it comes to iraq and no surprise there because in the aftermath of solomon is killing democrats seem to act go trans claim that he was indeed an awful person who deserves to be shot down similarly was a murderer responsible for the deaths of thousands including hundreds of americans general stolen money was a violent man. Who died a violent death toll money was a bad guy theres no question about that a notorious terrorist. No one should shed a tear over his death he deserved to be brought to justice you deserve to be brought to justice was a crime this seems to be the outlook of the Democratic Party its ok to kill the top general of a foreign country and put the country on the brink of war you just have to ask permission 1st they dont sound as much like cool headed dogs but rather like noxious bureaucrats waving the rule book in trump space demanding proper procedure well one of the 1st repercussions of that assassination came on sunday when iraqi lawmakers voted to expel Foreign Forces from their country the us secretary of state meanwhile has rejected claims that saddam on he was in iraq on a Diplomatic Mission. Zarif statement. His 1st statement that this sort of money was traveling to baghdad on a Diplomatic Mission anybody here believe that. Is there any history that would indicate that it was remotely possible that this kind gentleman this diplomat of great order custom so the money had traveled to baghdad for the idea of conducting a Peace Mission i think maybe reporters like this one thats fantastic. We know that wasnt true we not only know the history we know in that moment that was not true serif is a propagandist of the 1st order. Of the iraqi Prime Minister disagrees. With. You i was about to meet to money at 830 on friday morning on the day of his death he was carrying a message to me from the illini inside reply to assad a message that we sent to the arena earlier reporting green its regarding the deescalation of tensions in iraq and in the region well we discussed this political maneuvering with mohammed col he is the u. N. Representative for iraq based Youth Organization called just so. The United States army and the power i wouldnt find him we dont find them useful in our country or in my country we dont find that useful because 1st of all they havent protected our borders when ice is invaded iraq they havent protected our economy they havent protected our oil so if the u. S. Wanted to escape this this is an act of war and as an act of terrorism they dont have the right to to define the fanatic defined state as a terrorist state can be counter. Act of terrorism. Is being committed in a sovereign country in iraq. Nearby civilian airports targeting well both of them were civilian that time because they travel through Baghdad International airports we have changed again or they have changed the rules of the game and this is a clear violation of a human right and a clear act of terrorism. Well the return to our breaking news that iran has launched missile strikes on at least 2 u. S. Bases in iraq and what its calling a revenge operation for the death of its top general in an american drone strike well for more on this we can now bring in life Daniel Mcadams shes executive director of the zone the pull and she let daniel thanks for joining on us on this the pentagon has confirmed that 2 facilities housing u. S. Forces have been hit by iran those facilities all in iraq how serious is this escalation plus i think its its very serious because it depends on the u. S. Reaction theres been reports that u. S. F. 35 have taken off from bases in turkey i dont know if theyre confirmed or denied but how far will try as coolly this and i think if we step back and look at the origin of this there was a suppose that American Military contractor a Single Person in a base killed by someone we dont know who was that the u. S. Blames iran backed militias for or about to start world war 3 over this unnamed person they wont tell us who was they wont tell us what kinds of missions they think solar money was on there are a lot of things that the american side wont tell us we know that theres a long history of them lobbying about iraq lying about iran lying about war so i think we should all be suspicious drumhead listen to a neo con and overreacted he about you know a lot of americans will. Follow the president dont trump is expected to give an address to the nation very soon do you think he was expecting the iranians to retaliate so quickly and in such a direct way. Well i wouldnt call it direct i would still call it asymmetrical because it was its its an attack on a base its not a direct attack on american targets americans i think it says the message is that we can hit you if we need and i think the iranians have even said if you retaliate for this will attack every american installation in the region so i think it still is an asymmetric warning to trump the question is how will trump take this trump is surrounded by the most crazed warmongering iran the neo cons they want more war more than anything remember that pompei or his secretary of state says he believes that god sent trump to save israel from iran he said that in march these people are very unhappy and so i think we should all be terrified right now at what trump might do surrounded by these people i want to come back to the question of israel and regional dynamics but 1st i want to ask you this daniel because you said yourself that its not something we it came out of seemingly now where this attack on iran on the side of the haps usual sort others didnt but how does this play into trump school as we head into the 2020 a lecture in cycle because he thinks quite vociferously for in saying that he was going to withdraw troops in the middle east and to stop trying to when hes on winnable war so how does this all play into that. I think its a terrible move for him politically i think of the if the democrats were not so athletes and your reporter very well pointed out before this segment they have no response other than yeah we think its great to be assassinated somebody without trial so we just wish he would have hunted down a little bit differently so if he had an Actual Office issued a real philosophical opposition to his neo con interventionist Foreign Policy he would really be on the ropes as than what he is any danger of doing is really dampening the enthusiasm of the people that gave him his victory the people he ran as an antiwar candidate ran to get it out of the middle east it doesnt mean that theyll vote democrat but theyre going to be on enthusiastic in the going to stay home his margin of victory was razor thin this may be something and he may have to be a 2 front war because dont forget the iraqi pm aest forces have already said now that theyre going to join so were going to be at war with iraq and iran as we go into the election season its a disaster for trump well lets lets come back to some of these regional dynamics now because we do see an all out conflict unfolding between the u. S. And iran what position do you expect the pallets in the region taken to for question here powers in the region like israel and like saudi arabia to saudi become a target but also western powers because pump i had said just a few days ago he was somewhat disappointed in the stance taken by european leaders in the wake of the so the money attack so the question here that lets take a fast regional powers like israel how do you expect them to react to this. Well i think its fascinating yes if true in a sense the pompei it was said that the Prime Minister of iraq our ally is a liar because mahdi said its all our money was coming to town with the iranian response to a saudi proposal to reduce tensions on pay or said hes a liar if it is the case that the saudis were trying to find a repro smart with uranium i think this may put the us in the saudis on a very uncomfortable footing as for the israelis they would love nothing more than to have a bunch of americans die for their war in iran thats why theyve kept very quiet there was an initial response from that in yahoo where he where he applauded the attack on solar money but since then theres been very little said and they will keep a low profile as they see things unfolding to their benefit as they have throughout the term presidency as for the larger context i agree with you i think european leaders are far less than enthusiastic about this i think they probably notice possibly with the exception of the u. K. Government which is equally crazed the neo con but they understand that this is in no ones advantage is to no ones benefit this escalation is extraordinarily dangerous and certainly the europeans on the continent are put in a very very precarious situation we do know that irans times name news agency is now coaching iranian officials warning that if the u. S. Retaliates to see these missile strikes hezbollah will fire rockets at israel say another key piece in this really terrible of folding puzzle here but i just want to move back to washington for a 2nd i know because u. S. Has Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she is closely monitoring the situation saying it needs us provocations will the Administration Must and then how do you think theres growing sense of alarm within the u. S. Establishment about trumps recent actions in the middle east no not at all theyre all prowar with a couple of exceptions they all think this is wonderful. Alosi herself is in favor of attacking iraq. They all have the only thing they want to do is they want to snipe at trump along his heels that the goes forward toward war and this is why america is a one party state its not a democracy its not a multi party state the one party is the work party and theyre in charge in washington and this is very clear from biden to palosi to war and to all the democrats responding theyre not saying no war with iran will stop their saying its great that you killed the sky but you should have done a little bit differently so this is the real problem we have we are in a one party state Daniel Mcadams executive director of the Ron Paul Institute thanks your time and insight. Thank you well well be back with more on this breaking news in other stories after this short break. You know worlds big partners. A lot and conspiracy its time to wake up to dig deeper to get the stories that Mainstream Media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. And shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now were watching closely watching the hawks. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy to confront a shouldnt let it be an arms race. Spearing dramatic developing the only relief im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. Out of my patient has paid an unexpected visit to syria for talks with president Bashar Al Assad they discussed the volatile situation now unfolding in the middle east. Reports this is let him have putins 1st to visit says syria since the year its wednesday 17 and his arrival is there comes amid tensions in the middle east following the killing all 5 saw up Iranian Military official in iraq after arrival according to Vladimir Putin says. Personally he visited the Russian Command Center in damascus where he held a meeting with president bashar assad and also received a state of affairs reports from the military about whats going on in the rest of the country now in a meeting with bashar assad lot of mir putin. Thats a long way in significant steps have been made to establishing the countrys territorial integrity as well as statehood meanwhile president of syria bashar. Thanked the Russian Military for establishing in his country and of course for their fight against terrorism well on wednesday Vladimir Putin be holding another top level meeting this time in president urged one in turkey that we formally launching the new turk stream pipeline and also discussing before that for Major General salim on his death well of course be following those developments closely here on r. T. Now the latest movie by the british director guy ritchie has been getting some less than stellar reviews but critics branding the picture as racist and out of touch the gentleman has so far only been released in 4 countries with the rest of us get to see it in 2 months time but heres a look at what is already getting people angry. Its really yeah. Every imaginable demographic gets their moment to be targeted and denigrated the only thing the gentleman finds worth celebrating is the bravado masculinity. A less forgivable blast from the past however it is a deuce confort ing strain of racially based humor running through out reaches original script making flat punch lines of multiple characters. Is just a shame that guy Ritchie Falls back on his bad habits casual racism i dont know lynn and lack of female characters are problematic but still very entertaining. And i am being absolutely sincere much rather watch cats than the angry racist masses that is the gentleman. I put this up for debate with political commentator david valse on social activist. This is a sort of bygone bricks movie a sort of muscular reassertion of the we can say what we like its our country and we dont give a damn what anybody thinks it can tell us about our most foul and disgusting racist language this was a movie about gangsters and hey guess what really gangsters dont speak in politically correct balanced ways thats not what gangsters do when we see movies like this is the following day when those racial epithets are repeated on the should treat give cause for concern that. Movie makers like guy should have a broader social conscience and responsibility. Producing the arjun they do if you want to see a margin doriss them then thats fine you go and see it if we go to see a gangster movie you know were not expecting to. Find high philosophy were not expecting to experienced work culture thats just reality i think is outdated hes outmoded and hes not reflecting the kind of future which is of a more inclusive sense of britishers nationalism you know here we are in 2020 and what were experiencing over this movie is just an early flutter of walk culture of the perpetually offended black panthers one of the most successful movies in the world and its successful economically for a reason i think im not in favor of any artistic ban or any law i do think there should be greater diversity in the production and creative rooms quite amusing that you just referenced black panther and you went on then to talk about diversity if i recall the black panther movie successfully there wasnt a huge amount of diversity in not so if you want equality and i do then i think we have to have the fundamental right. All opinions. Sorts heard saying and understood. Frances president emanuel mccrone continues to face mounting pressure from Public Sector workers and trade unions as the countrys longest strike you know every 3 decades and to another week anger over the governments proposed Pension Reforms has been boiling over in paris and other major cities Public Transportation hospitals and schools to a standstill in the capital protest as talkative Major Financial Institution they say stands to benefit from the new Pension Scheme that as the government and to a new round of talks will choose day in a bid to end the standoff. Now but top breaking news iran has added nice to us bases in iraq well bring you more details of to this short break. Heres a thought experiment and a bit of a prediction for 2020 going back to saudi aramco around as it went public just recently had a market valuation an excess of 1. 00 trillion dollars i think at one point was worth 2 trillion dollars i think that were going to see them make a hostile buy of a Company Maybe facebook for example and it could be the 1st trillion dollar hostile raid in history because theyve got the Balance Sheet down if youve got a 2 trillion dollars Balance Sheet that means youve got you know the ability to borrow another trillion so youve got a 3 trillion dollar war chest if you go after an apple or even a Berkshire Hathaway 5 or 600000000000. 00 why wouldnt saudi aramco buy Berkshire Hathaway just as a hostile trade and then they own a huge portion of the whole Global Market the American Market why not theyve got the Balance Sheet now they want to diversify away from oil and gas and i think were going to see a move like that the next 6 to 9 months. You know world of big movies. And conspiracy its time. To dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the shouting. Its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for washing clothes for watching the hawks. To eat the. It was. It was. The it was. Back to our breaking news story iran has fired dozens of missiles a basis housing u. S. Forces in iraq the military gets a revenge operation for the death of Major GeneralKasim Soleimani who was killed in a u. S. Airstrike last week the pentagon has confirmed that they base in western iraq base in Northern Iraq have been hit those 2 facilities housing u. S. And Coalition Forces the statement said quote it is clear that these missiles were launched from iran and u. S. Media saying president obama will soon give an address to the nation so far there is no information on casualties but this of course follows irans warning that it would hit u. S. Targets in response to the death of its top general on general. The Iranian Military has named the operation martyrs samani and warm but further strikes are yet to come meanwhile u. S. Defense secretary mark asper and secretary of state my pompei have arrived at the white house and the white house says consultations are now ongoing. We are aware of the reports of attacks on u. S. Facilities in the rock the president has been briefed and is monitoring the situation closely and consulting with his national Security Team well as the missile strikes happened a spokesman for irans Supreme Leader tweeted this image of the arabian flag and that is an apparent reference to trumps tweet of the u. S. Flag just before the assassination of Major General sort of money on january 3rd. Well earlier i spoke to ali risk hes a contributor to the mideast news website monitor and he thinks the escalation of the u. S. Could end up strengthening irans position in the region. This attack has led to another can say tel avivs again there is a danger well have. Another american its allegation and it could be like a snowball purposes why things could be escalated there are fatalities from what we want to enter into into a war with iran the same time if people is not responding he will be perceived as a weakling so that puts him in a rather very rather critical. It was interesting to swallow that iran would fully announce that it was behind this attack you know saying very clearly that theyre ready to take to be there at the same choosing iraq as the 1st location i think was very logical given the symbolism of that country particularly as it was on iraqi territory were still in that he was assassinated its the most significant number one is that im very specifically was visited by senior politicians a number 2 in that money was assassinated on iraqi territory but the other states have taken very very tough measures to protect their horses. Numerous measures were taken but it just shows that despite any measures they were sweet taken to protect their forces in iran can still make life very difficult and iran can rather easily d target it was forces i think that war war war is iraq rather far fetched i think that would be even worse than iran each side will try and where. But when it comes to the region i think would be iran has a lot more than just kept going to the u. S. Iran has regional allies it has to swallow it has the Popular Mobilization forces in iraq it has allies in afghanistan. The u. S. On the other hand does not have that many allies 6 with the allies it does have proven to be rather incredible for example saudi arabia is not a very capable military. Is round and. Round in its own internal problems of american abandonment so strategically speaking when one of look at allies at the position of each country i think ron has a clear and then pigeon he had to be in all you can he want to get christian likes to. Be they want to be. Well only a president had backed down on a threat to
