Its 5 am here in the russian capital thanks for joining us our. National guard. Well the u. N. Human Rights Office has released a report identifying 112 companies which it says all supporting illegal settlements in the west bank the findings have come in for a shop criticism from israel though its called the document shameful unsuspended toys with the body. Who have a boy good will be bored to the human road going sue is a buzz buddy that is devoid of influence the state of israel will not tolerate this discriminates he and he israeli policy and will take action to prevent the implementation of these kinds of decisions the United Nations was referring to the israeli settlements that are constructed in the west bank post the 19676 day war. The 121 officially recognized settlements house around half a 1000000 Israeli Settlers these places offer places of worship homes and businesses that serve the region for the israelis this list included 112 Companies Operating in these settlements they included some International Companies such as moral solutions however they also included mostly israeli banks however some American Companies like trip advisor and air b. N. B. Were also mentioned in the list however the United Nations list does not state that these companies are practicing any illegal activity over that they are only being listed because they are operating within the israeli settlements its important to note that it is not some claim a blacklist nor does it qualify any companys activities as illegal that would be a separate and highly complicated terminations finding mission highlighted 10 types of Business Activities it viewed as being of particular concern given the well established legal nature of the settlements in the occupied palestinian territory the palestinians welcomed the United Nations list that arrived from the Human Rights Council calling it a welcome diplomatic victory and a sign of the palestinians diplomatic efforts in the International Community to confront israel publishing this list of companies and entities operating in the settlements is a victory for International Law and diplomatic efforts the american administer. Gratian and out of the deal of the century palestinians call this deal or this piece of ring a pro israel agreement that gave nothing to the palestinians and gave everything towards the israelis this has actually created more tensions between the Palestinian Authority and the Israeli Government with these tensions also escalating into live protests on the ground and tensions are only rising in the days to come mohammed decide is the National Director of the boycott divestment and sanctions movement in south africa hes hoping that the new report will encourage businesses to end their support for west Bank Settlements but as a boycott divestment and sanctions movement we see this as a great as a great positive step in the right direction for Holding Israel accountable for its violations of International Law it has taken the b. D. S. Boycott of israel just over 15 years to get to the stage and so we really do hope that this nonviolent Boycott Movement can have an effect on the Israeli Government in an attempt to bring israel to the negotiating table similar to how our parties to africa was brought to the negotiating table big business is like a b. And b. Bookings dot com invidious others should be on the right side of history and should in this complicity with these it is very lesions of International Law what we have asked the Companies Mentioned on not less to comment on the story and will come back to you with any reply get all pro israel groups are demanding that songwriter musician and pink floyd cofounder thats roger waters be dropped from the south by southwest Music Festival in texas next month they claim the star is an antisemite and therefore doesnt deserve to share his views that. It is unconscionable that waters be given any platform to air his anti semitic views much less the chance to be a keynote speaker at a major Music Festival south by southwest should remove him from its lineup immediately want to waters is scheduled to be a keynote speaker opt out festival that last year charted more than 400000. 00 people Major League Baseball in the us announced they would be running ads for water coming to either now its off to bake a month of pressure to what you will to explain to us himself how he sees these attacks and what it is that hes fighting for. Major League Baseball ransom presale adds before a presell of tickets to my shows there was never any question of us continuing to run more ads of to the priest so pared so i think they just lend let it let it go away quietly the equation of the b. D. S. Movement with the simitis and is an invention of people like the ny breath and its an invention of the ministry of strategic comparison which spends millions and millions of pounds all over the world that served Israeli Ministry setups pacifically to spread lies about b. D. S. There is nothing and he semitic about b. D. S. The b. D. S. Movement has consistently and constantly and and of quickly stated that it is against all forms of isms racism and semitism and muslim as lama for anything the i 8 show or a definition wedding cropped up and was adopted and has been adopted by trump and by others as a new definition of and his semitism is such a red herring definition which identifies any criticism of the policies both domestic and foreign of the state of israel as being inherently anti semitic is clearly nonsense this is nothing to do with gers people and by the way but not by rigged at the bottom of their letter which i read again today they claim to represent all jewish people all over the world well im sorry guys but you dont know i am not anti semitic dont say any more please because it is a bare faced lie and its irritating and it does nobody any good i believe that all human beings have brothers and sisters. Realm of the well and that we have an absolute moral duty to respect one another and that is the tiny platform upon which i stand clearly and being cast it when i say tiny its a huge trap for human rights and important than almost anything until it israel palestine issue is a glaring example of somewhere where some people have the right some of the people dont believe it is the human right should be something there is fundamentally closed people exactly what does go to another israel dominated route over free speech a journalist has filed a lawsuit against the u. S. State of georgia abby martins plan talk at a local university was canceled after she refused to sign a pledge not to boycott as well the American IslamicIslamic Relations Council has spoken out against the universitys move by canceling a journalist speaking on campus because she refused to support a Foreign Government georgiou violated the 1st amendment freedom of speech guarantee there is no place were free speech is more important than on campus this attempt to suppress a bit of use is as brazen as it is illegal 27 other states have pro israel laws similar to georgias they forbid state governments from signing contracts with those who boycott the jewish state the law is all designed as a counter to palestinian led campaigns against israel well we spoke to abby martin who is the john has to initiate that rule soon she thinks that people are being forced to give up that Constitutional Rights. I was given this contract i was pretty shocked to get this contract i heard of these laws i knew of cases for Hurricane Relief workers just substitute teachers but i guess i never connected the 2 that simply being a speaker on a College Campus supposedly the bastion of free speech nationwide would trigger theres clause in force me to sign a contract to say that i would never boycott israel of course this goes against my 1st amendment. Rights this is meant to curb the mounting grassroots pressure that originates predominately on College Campuses against the state of israel and i couldnt comply with this how could i comply my entire body of work criticizes the Israeli Government or so i wrote back and i said i cannot comply with this and thats why i decided to take legal action with care in the p. C. Jaf because thousands of contractors are being affected by this long whether or not they know where they are forfeiting their Constitutional Rights in order to simply work and i think thats an abomination we do have a strong case ahead of us i think it is up to the judges themselves to overturn these laws theyve done them in several cases already and thats why im confident that we have a very strong clear cut case that a judge will will see that this is a blatant violation of our Constitutional Rights and it really goes to show you this isnt about free speech at all this is about controlling what kind of speech were hearing. From u. K. Politics now the chairman of the b. B. C. Has warned against funding cuts to Britains National broadcaster saying it would help russia and china spread influence the b. B. C. Is set to lose 200000000 pounds over the next 2 years as its license fee is reviewed by the government with an idea to possibly switch to a voluntary subscription system. Brings us the story it would appear every time the b. B. C. Are faced with these types of challenges they come out fighting although this time it seems the resulting to skin. 6 in order to ward off any threat to their state funding and this perhaps unsurprisingly theyve taken a at russia and china the b. B. C. s mean competitors or the world funded state backed actors of russia and china who see news as an extension of state influence and its tool for democratic disruption very easy of course always to raise the specter of nefarious states abroad trying to infiltrate and influence politics here of course the b. B. C. Never engaging in that type of behavior but the chairman of the b. B. C. Also going on to sing the praises of his organization and what he says is their commitment to impartiality as a Public Service broadcaster not a state broadcaster it has been a beacon of journalistic impartiality and a lifeline for millions living in fear uncertainty and captivity worldwide while perhaps the few shared by the chairman is not the same as that shared by many people in the u. K. I mean for a start the b. B. C. s embroiled in a number of its own difficulties and scandals in regards to for example sexism and racism and how it treats staff and how it deals with pay between men and women for example but also it seems to be a politicizing of their programming with the very Popular Victoria dobbs show being axed in the last few months that led to accusations that the government was trying to interfere with their output but also accusations from all sides of the political spectrum weve seen on the right accusations towards the b. B. C. That theyre somehow against briggs it but even more so and perhaps with a lot of evidence behind it according to those who make this claim that the b. B. C. Showed a very anti germy corben bias especially in the run up to the election at the beginning of december last year and so it would appear that while the chairman of the b. B. C. Was. To defend and sing the praises of the organization and say that this is a Vital Institution in this country there are rapidly running out of supporters in the country who are willing to come to their defense. Michael and kevin and talk to journalists neil clark about the challenges confronting the broadcaster and what the proposed changes might mean this whole license thing is a piece of history and the b. B. C. These to up its game do you agree with that it is a Great Institution i think the problem has been really in the last i would say 10 years or so its been with its political programming i think that thats where a lot of discontent lies we heard easterly talking there about people believing or thinking with not without any evidence that that there were a lot of vice principal against europe we called it now were hearing today b. B. C. Saying propaganda from the likes of china from the likes of russia are they really that important is it such a problem you know i think the funding so i dont know about the chinese or c. C. T. V. Funding but i know from reading articles or reports that in fact the b. B. C. As a whole gets more funding than r. T. Gets so i think thats a bit of a red herring so to speak i think its sad that hes felt that charities for obliged to make that comment to get that to get russia because it really is and should really be about that it should really be about do we need a Public Sector broadcaster i think we do and how is that Public Sector broadcaster funded what he should be saying i think is the b. B. C. Has got a very long history. 80 odd years history of producing good programs weve done it down the years please keep the funding. While staying in europe its a somber day in the job and city of dresden as it commemorates the victims of a mass Bombing Campaign its estimated that 25000. 00 civilians died in the raids led by the british and american asil says 75 years ago to that day since on though the intensity of the strikes in dresden has been called into question as the 2nd world war at that moment was nearing its end. And and. Everything around turned into i see a woman in her hands is a bundle its a child she runs and folds the child disappears into the plains. We had the story of a man whose parents had the full site to take him out of dresden shortly before the bombing began and although he was only 5 years old at the time he still has recollections of what his family went through. The bombing started and the house was on fire parents rushed outside and took nothing with them others went back to their flats and they died in the flames in the narrow streets the flames were spreading so fast people were suffocating it was a simple struggle for survival after the attack no more no less for weeks afterwards the corpses were burned at the old market my father had to help there to from february to the beginning of may they started to clear some rubble and burned the bodies there were 6. 00 to 7000. 00 corpses burned at the old market 200 meters from here there are pictures of this there were bodies lying around everything was destroyed it was chaos because there were also many refugees from poland and east prussia thats why you dont know how many in fact died because there were so many unregistered people here who were burned the corpses could not be identified. United states as nato representative claims that every nation has been targeted by the russia china in cyberspace warning the wall that it must strengthen its files against moscow and beijing where reports reveal the cia and its judgment counterpart waked swiss made in question machines in the 1970s which allowed them to spy on embassies and government institutions in 120 countries as donor court explains. The Washington Post is calling it the intelligence coup of the century the cia working with west German Secret Services pulling the strings of a swiss and Christian Company and stealing government secrets from over 120 countries Foreign Governments were paying good money to the us and was germany for the privilege of having their most secret Communications Read by at least 2 Foreign Countries it was a foolproof operation 1st called the saurus and later renamed rubicon for over half a century of the Company Crypto a. G. T. Was a captain of the worlds encryption Industry Based in neutral switzerland most governments were quick to believe their secrets were in safe hands little did they know the cia and west germanys b. M. D. Had coopted the companys founder to create a backdoor into the worlds best kept secrets in 1988 western spies had complete access to the egyptian president S Communications with cairo during the camp david peace talks with israel a year later washington was spying on a rainy and officials during the hostage crisis and as late as 1986 u. S. Intelligence was listening to libyan officials congratulate each other for the bombing of a berlin disco although the c. I. A and b. And d. Werent able to hook their main rivals russia and china had enough foresight to look elsewhere for their encryption needs nowadays though those 2 are the scapegoats for all of the wests cyber woes if you see throughout our alliance every one of our countries has had side by and hybrid attacks from russia some from china for washington its become a routine to point the finger at russia and china but its not like u. S. Intelligence operations have wound down since then on the contrary theyve adapted. Edward snowden is the 29 year old intelligence contractor who leaked Top Secret National SecurityAgency Information revealing the incredible extent to which the u. S. Government is monitoring and keeping records of not just our phone calls the National Security agency has developed his Building Infrastructure they could intercept almost everything. The National Security agency there in the United States allegedly spying on quite vast amounts of. Data the group time asked by president obama who was reviewing the washington spying program has largely defended it although the program had not prevented a terrorist attack it was still vital to homeland security. The Central Intelligence agency has lost control of highly classified documents and computer code about the cias Technical Capability to carry out into Electronic Devices things like android phones only phones and julian assange. Accusing the cia of devastating incompetence saying the agency has lost control of its Cyber Weapons it doesnt matter who you are friend or foe theyre coming for your secrets. I have since we started talking about them to see always made it clear to the u. S. President that spying among friends is not acceptable and if you take wiki leaks vault 7 documents into consideration it makes operation rubicon look like childs play the scope and direction of the cias Global Covert Hacking Program its malware arsenal and dozens of 0 day weaponized exploits against a wide range of u. S. And European Company products include apples i phone googles android and Microsofts Windows and even samsung t. V. s which are turned into covert. Microphones even their own citizens arent safe now increasingly we see that its happening domestically and to do that they the n. S. A. Specifically targets the communications of everyone in just some by default it collects them in its system and it filters them and it analyzes them in a measures them and it stores them for periods of time simply because thats the easiest most efficient and most valuable way to achieve these ends snowden took the revelations about crypto eiji even further comparing it with a formerly secret 10000000. 00 contract between the n. S. A. And a major u. S. Computer Security Firm it begs the question what info grabbing operations are still going on right now under our noses. Well given the passage of time though former cia analyst and whistleblower John Kiriakou doesnt expect anyone to come clean over the reported operation i can only speculate but we have a mandatory declassification law in this country where if information is at least 30 years old and it is not operational in nature that is it doesnt include information related to sources and methods that it has to be declassified and i wonder if thats really what this is all about that the information is old enough that that theres no reason to keep it classified anymore the u. S. Has interfered in more elections around the world then any other country in the world and i wouldnt be surprised if it was more than all other countries in the world combined this is something they that the u. S. Does routinely regularly this may at least temporarily serve to take the attention off of russia off of china and other countries because this is something the United States does all the time not only will there be no criminal repercussions i would not at all be surprised if those responsible for this operation who are still in the cia or n. S. A. Are not given medals for what theyve done. And fine and you know make it anyhow though to put the anti migrants out of some attest healtheon trial over claims his decision to hold more than 100 people at sea and 2019 was an eagle but the far right firebrand struck a defiant tone off to he was stripped of his parliamentary immunity secondly may hes ready for the new. I feel is my duty to the country italian people and to my children i want to be proud of what it is to hold my head high our constitution says that protecting our homeland is a sacred duty for italian citizens as a minister as a man as an italian fighting people traffickers defending our borders and security defending the pride and dignity of my country protecting italians from all the Illegal Migrants in the country was not a right but the duty for me. But to salvini was its news interior minister at the time of that incident and of course a major outcry among Rights Groups he was pushing for the closure of the countrys ports to my point rescue boats claiming that all of the e. U. Countries need to take that fashion commas to prosecutors allege that he acted alone in refusing to let the passengers disembark and sicily and didnt actually have the consent of his Coalition Partners for his part though salvini says he was sticking to Campaign Promises now of course will remember that it was among the countrys most impacted by the micro crisis at the time. I think it is a said for our democracy i mean so many it was a minister who was a minister of the italian republican and the hollande try to defend our National Interest only try to defend our borders and this is a political. Party the democratic and the 5 Star Movement so now in italy we have how you know maybe the leftist government in there are a republican a story and this government try to attack in a political way so really because every time that the. Center. Right to go to her election during the will be an election but maybe except for. Election in the local election every time the center right and leg are the force of our Political Party in italy so now whats happened is that some of that the left the can defeat the salvini during the normal election and wanted to defend a political attack and wanted to prosecute salvini with the process in the next day. Up to now if you still want more take a peek at r. T. Dot com coming your way now though its what you know more. The liberal Corporate Media are fickle they fall in and out of love quickly and often not long ago they were infatuated with me too old now they are smitten by me or the media love to drone on about their preferences in the mean time voters take their candidates. In 24 to you know bloody revolution to the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be increasingly violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it still war here. With pity with with the bill is that im spoiling you to the former ukrainian president recalls the events of 2040. Those who took part in this today over 5000000000 dollars to assist ukraine in these another goal that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. Led. Greetings and sal you take us on a long enough timeline the truth always seems to claw its way into the light New York Times is now reporting my friends that when it came to the justification for the late december airstrikes that killed 25 members of an Iraqi Militia group me assassination of Iranian Military really leader general cares a celebrity the United States may have gotten it wrong. Remember when we were originally told by the u. S. Military Industrial Complex u. S. President donald trump u. S. Secretary of state might and most of our lovely u. S. Mainstream news media that the original rocket attack on the k one military base in iraq that wounded 6 and killed one u. S. Contractor back in december was conducted by an evil Iraqi Militia group with strong ties to iran you remember right all right well now according to the times Iraqi Military and intelligence officials have raised doubts about who fired the rockets that started that spiral of events saying that they believe its unlikely
