A very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at our teach q. And moscow thanks for joining us this hour we start in the middle east where irans new envoy says the country is not planning any more attacks against the u. S. So long as washington refrains from further aggression he added that wednesdays airstrikes on 2 u. S. Bases in iraq were sufficient revenge for the pentagons killing of its top general President Trump has limited his response to those strikes to pledging new sanctions. As we continue to evaluate options in response to a rain in aggression the United States will immediately impose additional punishing economic sanctions on the iranian regime. These powerful saying shoes will remain until around changes its behavior. The us assassination of general somani on iraqi territory last week sparked massive protests across the middle east and beyond its proper Iraqs Parliament to call for the expulsion of all foreign troops from the country that decision now awaits government approval and the lingering consequences of the u. S. Invasion of iraq may now be focused on white house mines when it comes to iran to tell reporters. Sequels are rarely as good as the originals many characters dont sign on for repeat apparent some they often end up losing money but apparently theres nothing washington likes more than dusting off an old script and adding a new 9 or 2 sometimes a badly needs to change the name both countries that have been consuming americas attention for a while now the threat comes from iraq to the hussein needs and pretext terrorists the Coalition Forces did not come to colonize iraq we came to. Overthrow a despotic regime everywhere we go in the middle east its a rare ran around major destabilizing in influence in the middle east spread death destruction and chaos the leaders of iran are record heres behind every problem is are a so the scene is set we have a visible villain in all story and in case you are in any doubt as to who our hero is while who else but the one his ambition is only as a pin to throw off the shackles of injustice and make democratic dreams come true i think things have gotten so body inside iraq from the some point of the iraqi people my belief is we will in fact be greeted as liberators last night there was dancing in the. Treats in parts of iraq we we have every expectation the people not only in iraq but in iran will view the American Action last night as giving them freedom but our hero knows better than to go around attacking people well some kind of justification its not particularly diplomatic so he gets trusted advisors to dig up something anything really that will make it sound like humanity is being saved this is a blockbuster after role that has to be an apocalypse Saddam Hussein and his regime are concealing their efforts to produce more weapons of mass destruction iran will not get a Nuclear Weapon and as we came into Office Around was on a pathway that it provided by the nuclear deal which clearly gave them the opportunity to have those Nuclear Weapons and all the while he hopes that no one actually are spending think concrete because then hes just a man with a grudge us grumbling to establish a link between iraq and al qaeda is so far frankly unconvincing were still left with the problem of bringing Public Opinion to accept the imminence of a threat from iraq regime change does not count it sounds like a grudge between bush and saddam we need to know what the evidence is what led the administration to make the president to make this decision but i think this claim that its that his concern was to avoid war i think most people would say this is made war more likely so just to be on the safe side he adds a Little Something extra something he knows will appeal to the patriotism and emotions of the average voter if were successful in iraq we will have struck a major blow right at the geographic base of the terrorists who have hunters and resort for many years but most especially on 911. Assisted in the klan is time travel to afghanistan of 10 of the 12 terrorists who carried out the same time or 11 terrorist attacks in the United States but does a hit every film has to have a moment where things arent going to heroes way back in 2003 and john politicians on the public alike might have been beating the drums of war but as time passed questions were raised and people increasingly saw through id be best circumstantial evidence fast forward and now not everyone is willing to back the hero who tore up a nuclear deal functions as a default Foreign Policy tool and made the hash tag wild will 3 trend on twitter this is a u. S. Decision it is not a decision taken by the do Global Coalition nor do we have woken up to more dangerous world the u. S. Action did not make it any easier to reduce tensions we partied to deescalate for the conflict is in none of our interest more worryingly for the hero has an election coming up the average voters being a bit more cautious this time around but despite all this the harris hes unbeatable why wouldnt he be hes had ample experience to roll from guatemala to the congo from the Dominican Republic to South Vietnam from brazil to chile and libya from iraq to iran you get the point this heros got good it shifting of regimes around in his favor of course in some ways this is even a sequel within a sequel because back in 1953 the cia helped topple the democratically elected iranian leader to protect you guessed it us Oil Interests but despite all this despite the sending of troops the killing of civilians the assassination of foreign officials there were maintains that hes not off the blood hes a man of peace were doing everything we can to avoid war in iraq our goal is peace we took action last just stop. A war we did not. Just start a war 17 years 3 president s and hundreds of thousands of casualties later sure the faces have changed and the rhetoric a little bit different as will be hopefully the final outcome but either way youve got to admit washington could do with some variety and its story lines off troll no one likes a dodgy sequel the us house of representatives is due to vote on thursday on whether or not to limit terms ability to use military force against iran we asked former u. S. Congressman ron paul about the risks of an all out conflict. Its not totally unlike trump you know to make a lot of noise and then get people all excited and stir things up and then back off a bit because i think basically im hoping anyway that he doesnt enjoy killing people and perp right provoking wars but we still have our problems because he still has too many neo cons to run them to try to aggravate things and make things work but i wish we could be reassured that peace has broken out because theres too many problems there and i just think that the solution is something i suggested before it started it is dont go in and since weve been and i say come home and iraqis ask us to leave and i think we should leave but as long as we have this monstrosity of an embassy and in. Iraq its just going to be provoking you know people to attack us so i it claims that he went in there and killed killed the later because he wanted to stop a war and of course i lean toward the fact acting like that is more likely to start a war which i would like to make sure that we dont get into a real hot war despite the white house avoiding further escalation for now us t. V. Pundits are ramping up the pressure for war while masking their connections to the lucrative Defense Industry are to compile the course of hawks. There was compelling intelligence reasons of an imminent threat to respond i trust the intelligence assessment of whats on the neo is doing the kinds of actions he was preparing for i take it at face value what he is saying and secretary pompei oh this was a preemptive defensive measure now these are supposed to be just random smart people who are going to help us understand the situation except there arent a lot of them have a particular financial interest in a specific outcome essentially theyre tied to corporations that make profits from war the usa and iran go head to head theyll get a pretty nice payout and the viewers are kept in the dark about these ties the world is on edge since the u. S. To county ran into restocking tents and codes force command a custom so they money following the december 31st attack on the u. S. Embassy in iraq says 979 iran has bullied threatened and killed and spread its reign of terror the president has made the right decisions on iran to this point including scrapping the Iranian Nuclear deal then hip jr works for a lobbying Firm AmericanDefense Incorporated that represents military contractors and who are one of the sponsors of his lobbying efforts none other than the manufacturers of the drone that killed solomonic so are we really shocked hes not singing kumbaya on urging restraint check out this guy they crossed a red line with this president when he when he exercised enormous going to story. Not taken a provocation but so dont kill americans and when they did he he acted and acted very strongly jack keane is represented as just a retired general giving his 2 cents but actually sent his retirement from the pentagon hes been working with military Contracting Companies like General Dynamics and now he runs a Venture Capital firm that specializes in defense and security not exactly mr objective general saw money he was a lawful military. And the president had ample domestic Legal Authority to take him out without an additional congressional authorization jed johnson was in the department of Homeland Security under barack obama but now hes in the private sector working for Lockheed Martin thats the company that makes the war planes that are stationed across the middle east and who can forget David Petraeus thats the military commander turned cia director who had an affair and leaked classified information to his mistress now you would think he wouldnt be credible after all this is what happened when he tried to teach classes at city college in new york. I mean if you dont know what it is going to break. You go but petraeus is back selling war on prime time its impossible to overstate the significance of the attack that takes him so low money this is bigger than been logged its bigger than bug the overwhelming majority of the American People believe that the invasion of iraq in 2003 was a big mistake so its worth pointing out that these same people were on t. V. In 2003 selling the invasion of iraq are now on t. V. Pushing a new war against iraq the exact same people it is important to understand the consequences of pulling out of iraq before our work is done in victory is achieved abandoning our iraqi friends would signal the world that america cannot be trusted to keep its word so low money was the highest ranking official in the quds force he has the blood of Many American soldiers on his hands the u. S. Public has voted for president ial candidates who promised less involvement overseas over and over again but the Mainstream Media seems to be working pretty hard to convince them otherwise and its giving special attention to certain individuals who have certain shady financial ties and its not disclosing those ties to the viewers many of the. Pundits the analysts that we see in us media are people who are either on the boards of military corporations or their lobbyist for the military industry and they have an economic incentive unfortunately when it comes to war and this is not disclosed when we hear them talking about how good trump is doing in killing the general of another country in citing a new war we have to admit that there is a Strong MilitaryIndustrial Complex in the United States and that the news media itself benefits from war. Ukraine is marking a day of mourning after its passenger plane crashed just after takeoff from tehran airport on wednesday killing all 176 people on board. Well the antialcohol the right side of the airplane and one end of it were completely on fire and i think the pilot made a great effort not to hold president ial hows its the plane crash landed in lolly park and destroyed the fence of a foot and then it took off again and exploded and was completely incinerated off what you know they didnt keep those watching the news of iranians hitting us bases with missiles on t. V. After 10 minutes i heard a massive explosion and all the houses started to shake there was fire everywhere at 1st i thought the american substructure here with missiles and i went into the basement to take cover all through while i went out and saw a plane had crashed over them goldie plants were lying around if. That is just to see the house of 167 passengers to our ukrainian citizens on the passengers are citizens of canada iran germany sweden and afghanistan. Since our support for my eldest son is just stupid my daughter called me from the us she told me that ukrainian at cruft crashed just where eagle fruit i stated to run and i sold a video of the plane crash. Still to come a report reveals disturbing levels of sexual abuse of Mental Health patients in the u. K. Details after the break. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its Crazy Foundation let it be an arms race off and spearing Dramatic Development only really im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. So these terms inflation and deflation they tend to hand the connection between the finance economy and the real economy and sometimes the finance economy gets out of hand and you have crashes and sometimes the real economy gets out of hand then you have stagflation because wages are too high but sense 2000 and getting even more pronounced in 2008 we have 2 separate economies there are 5 for katie theres the privately owned Central Banks who print money for private the top 110th of one percent the private citizens and then we have to serve class or the neo feudal class and these 2 dont interact and. Come back hundreds of Mental Health patients are reportedly being sexually assaulted in mixed sex wards in Englands NationalHealth Service single sex wards a c 3 times fewer reports of abuse at despite ministers pledging to scrap makes wards island still allow shared spaces. There were 1001000 complaints of Sexual Assault and mixed wards between april 2017 and after october 2019 at the rate of almost an attack a day one victim spoke out about the conditions the room i was in was surrounded by the entrance to the main corridor or so there were men standing almost all said i couldnt go anywhere without going to a mixed area i just had to lock myself in my room the whole time the department of health and social care has responded by saying it will not tolerate sexual abuse in the n. H. S. A political activist on the bells says its disgraceful that the decision to axe makes wards still up and carried out i think its that its about 20 years certainly 15 years ago that. Hospitals made an undertaking that they would get rid of mixed wards frankly the government ought to be ashamed that allowing british hospitals to it to not carry out an agreement that they made which was that there would be wards for women and wards for men and they shouldnt be they should not be mixed wards we fought very hard to ensure that women had safety and security so. For no better reason that we could speak to each other about issues of the of of concern i mean lots of women would be in hospital because of you know reproductive issues. Of old age and you couldnt necessarily do that in a mixed ward not so men prefer to be in wards in which matters of their you know the reproductive organs can be explored with other men in a way that is not appropriate in front of most women well i certainly think that in a 1st world country that we should have wards for women and wards for men. Well the n. H. S. Is being penned for its failure to separate the sexes britains education wants dog has uncovered unlawful segregation at the heart of the National School system has revealed that an islamic faith economy in Central England is giving preferential treatment to boys Edwards Daschle reports. Segregation surely only a thing of the past well not for one Islamic Faith School in birmingham that found itself on the naughty step after segregation the girls and the boys of the classroom unlawfully by the way and telling its girls that university was not for them while the boys were given the 1st choice on black experience placements boys enjoy school more than girls this is because they are treated favorably and have more privileges redstone account to meet the private secondary school in which charges fees of up to 3000. 00 pounds a year has been slapped by the mother of scorn inspectors offset with the rating of inadequate now the 13 page report found the boys are treated the preferential way and girls were discouraged from further education they were also banned from playing football and taking part in activities like tickets you classes boys and girls own more fully segregated by sex for all School Activities except for a week to assemble it over a year ago the school was already told to stop its practice of segregation but the schools have most of says he has no intention of defined the lower in any way and simply wants to separate schools for boys and girls now despite offset ruling segregation has a negative impact on Girls Education and indeed selfconfidence we work very diligently to offer the best to both boys and girls at our school and both are given equal opportunities to be successful in whatever they choose if it turns out that our application for a separate girls school is formally refused then we have absolutely no intention to defy the law in any way but its not just this school thats in the bad books for bribing him lets not forget the debate over the soon to be compulsory Sex Education classes including talking about divest relationships and saying that its ok to be gay well the rollout isnt going down too well with some parents of faith fundamentally disagreeing that teaching their kids such issues goes directly against their own religious beliefs. But. Rather to. Let them grow up let them tools themselves i dont like to agree with the government schools and parents all that odds over how they see the future of childrens education and looks like britain still has a lot of homework today its a school. Doing well according to all set standards then no no is it big so it could be anything up to 4 years before schools are assessed and report so returned arent prime example which basically allows schools to carry on if there are such a concerns like the ones that weve come across now and it is only when possible inspectors speak to students and so on as theyve done in this case what theyve spoken to the boys in this book to the girls the girls about to say that they are not happy with the we did cheat sheet these concerns have been raised simply because the boss that its best to spoke to the students only if theres nobody else thats making complaints. How are you specifically down. Actors looking to bag britains top movie award this year may find it difficult if theyre not white the British Academy of film and Television Arts has been slammed for its picks with all of its acting nominations going to white performers bafta has admitted the lack of diverse state a call on the industry to change. Would like to see more diverse nominations and we will work harder in pushing your stream more but that shouldnt take away from those who were nominated this year but his nominations are a joke not nominating a single woman for directing our best film no Antonio Banderas no look at the norcross funa. The with the most nominations yikes. And all white slate of acting nominees in this of all years back to this is not good enough here we go again but worse isnt is the time for sexist and racist nominations its not a coincidence its systematic we put the issue up for debate with legal and media analyst lionel and political commentator lawyers are. Let me just tell you something if if if studios maybe money exists lined up where we want to live might not be reverse racism it is still dios studios. If studios made money having nothing but diverse women or whatever what they would do it believe me theyre not going to do something just because of some ulterior motive lets be quite clear the world in which my kids and hopefully their kids are going to have a few tough challenges and some bumps in the road on the way hes going to want to be increasing diversity increasing pluralism and secularism and these arguments about i dont want to. Start that well let me off its not going to happen ok were going to have increasing diversity yet more basic needs more muslims more immigrants more everything sex you want to feel as shiny and better phones and better no no to me i dont know where that you want you know. This is going to happen i do you get used to the idea of more diversity right but just the idea of taking governmental regulations quote is. Heterogeneity diversity and applying it to movies and films i mean do you have people right now are going to want to watching this angle laughing hysterically at what were even problem. Now they are. Absolutely whiter richer less diverse then you find in society i dont after years and years and years of when jean wounding about trying to get better levels of representation across the board after as long as a lot along with another number of other organizations have been trying to look at this and a couple years ago they put a new framework in place which said if you going to nominate a film its youve got to list how its for everybody diversity what the diverse storylines are you know youve got to really get into the detail and the guts of how youre benefiting people i mean in spite of that weve seen im sorry. But if some of the following governments become populists across europe surprise surprise weve seen it somewhat wash you want to go to theaters based upon the diversity of the people on the screen if thats if thats truly what you want not the quality of the film not the story but just the participants then you who are of the smallest minority of people because nobody really believes this they claim they do and also one more thing bafta wants to be in the same category as the Golden Globes because everybodys talking about the Golden Globes not because of Ricky Gervais bafta has got to make money being number one because theres so many different awards shows that this is their latest entry maybe this will put them on the map its numbers for ratings thats it thats our world news wrap up for now but ill be back to top the hour with the latest thanks for tuning in. To what else truths seem wrong. But dont believe just dont call. Me ill get to see pal it just didnt come out to. And in detroit equals betrayal. When something we find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. Reality has mandates of its own that go beyond what our wishes and preferences are. And our utopian visions may be were going to get a new deal but it may not be the Green New Deal that people are expecting will get the Green New Deal that we have we deserve rather think we are going to get a Green New Deal because the Green New Deal in compass is things beyond just what Infrastructure Health care is in the new deal there are other elements if you go back 20 start in 2006 that we are going to get and that are popular in this country. Good food descriptions sound up the even for the owners so how to choose this pet Food Industry is telling us what to feed our pets really more based on what they want salads than whats necessarily good for the pet turns out that food may not be as healthy as people believe and we have animals that have you know diabetes and arthritis they have auto immune disorders allergies we are actually creating these problems its a huge epidemic of problems all of them i believe can be linked to very simple problem of diet and some dog owners so heartbreaking stories about their pets less treats the larger corporations are not very interested in proving or disproving the value of their food because theyre already making a 1000000000. 00 on it and theres no reason to do that research. This is broadcasting around the world and covering all aspects of it and how it affects our daily lives im christy i walk into. And heres a look at what we have in store today.
