His birth he was in such Poor Condition that he couldnt remember. Good morning from moscow its friday february 21st money is called in by welcome to the program 1st for you this friday then the European Union is calling for an immediate end to waging conflict in the final hotbed of the war in syria as turkey steps up its operations in the province meanwhile washington is pushing for diplomatic action to be taken against syria and its backers over their military actions in the region despite admitting that it has become a haven for terrorist groups. It seems to be a magnet for terrorist groups especially because it is an ungoverned space in many ways their average of groups theyre all of them are a nuisance and menace in a threat to hundreds of thousands of civilians who are just trying to make it through the winter getting up to speed then correspondent you go down off now takes a look at how the syria conflicts are volved. Its coming to shove in syria turkey and the us russia israel and multiple militant factions all skirmishing in the country and previous motives for warring are fading into oblivion. Its time for assad to get out of the way. We have won a good study says weve beaten them and we beat them badly all that is a thing of the past now as new goals vividly take shape the latest fighting in ad lib is a mere accessory to the geo political carnage is global and regional superpowers sparring with each other for dominance ideological and moral borders are blurred with turkey a nato country teaming up with terrorists to push syrians out of their own province. The operation is imminent in particular we will not leave it to the regime which is not yet understood our countrys determination on this issue and those who are encouraging it for a few minutes and making it live a safe place for both turkey and the people of the region at all costs. Militants shamelessly boasting turkey provided a. P. C. s coming on. Marse covered by turkish artillery fire russias air force joins the Party Together with the syrians repairing the onslaught as moscow officially asks ankara to hold its fire and so it does to prevent militants from moving deeper into syria into the red s u 24 aircraft of the Russian Air Force at the request of the syrian command have carried out strikes against the van sing to or groups this allowed the syrian troops to successful the ripple all attacks but turkey is not alone in this fight while jihadi groups are doing the bloody bidding on the ground washington cheers from over the atlantic that a very good job or say shit with president her why the fact is that hes fighting on it led he doesnt want people to be killed by the thousands and hundreds of thousands the United States will continue to coordinate with turkey on diplomatic approach is to restore a cease fire to the it live deescalation zone and achieve a pullback of assad Regime Forces to the 2800 so she ceasefire lines the us has its own stake in the syria war and it hasnt signed on very particular and well predictable prizes from geo political dominance to well oil we did leave soldiers because were keeping the oil we may have to fight for the oil thats ok i like the oil and theres yet another act in this conflict israeli jets routinely hit targets on syrian soil its clear what israel wants to to weaken irans influence yet another power playing its hand and this massive and messy political gamble unfortunately for the people of syria since 2011 their country has been used as a chessboard on which the syrians appear as pawns and its somebody elses geostrategic. Board in particular the United States and its allies basically tore syria apart partly designed to topple the secular but legitimate government in syria the sovereign government the government recognized by the United Nations partly to topple that government and partly to claim different parts of syria for themselves syria has an important place in geo strategic we in geographically in this resource rich region of the middle east it also has. So yes what weve seen the tragedy of syria the tragedy of the socalled civil war is actually a proxy war by International Players using the syrian country the syrian battlefield as a proxy battlefield when i leave this week the syrian army announced that it had cleared militants out of the province of aleppo following is offense and if hes there during its operation Government Forces have repeatedly reported on finding u. S. Made weapons left behind by fleeing terrorists meanwhile the Defense Department in washington is accusing the u. S. Military of failing to keep track of weapons with hundreds of millions of dollars in syria report went as far as suggesting they were left vulnerable to loss or theft his aunties kind of open. If you were spending hundreds of millions of dollars to send weapons to a foreign country it would probably pay to keep track of them but apparently thats the last thing that was on the pentagons mind when it came to Operation Inherent result in syria. Special Operations Joint Task force Operation Inherent result person no did not account for the budget is 715800000 of count arses trained and equipped Fund Equipment for fiscal years 2017 and 28 seen hundreds of weapons were not properly stored duplicate purchases were made the amount spent went higher and higher now that might give critics of the military Industrial Complex something to complain about but thats not the crux of the problem here take a listen to this special Operations Joint Task force operation in hebron resolve on 1st that sustainment command personnel left thousands of Council Offices trained and equipped for and weapons and sensitive equipment items fordable to muscle theft without conducting consistent inventor reason ensuring proper security for c t e f s equipment 1st c. S. C. Could not determine where the items were lost or stolen which could delay the initiation of an investigation so lets be clear theyre saying theyre not 100 percent sure these weapons and that up in the hands of isis terrorists but that there is a pretty good chance they did now that should raise plenty of questions especially for those who recall that back in 2718 the socalled vetted opposition was getting stock loads of handouts in weapons from the pentagon. The original fiscal year 2017 president s budget requests for train and equip and fits in syria funds training and equipment for about 14000 part of foods troops from the vetted Syrian Opposition seems like some of these vetted opposition were not really interested in fighting the i. C. L. Terrorists they just focused on their ongoing efforts to violently overthrow the Syrian Government one of our Partner Forces there you know laterally conducted patrols outside of the agreed upon deescalation zone and engaged in activities not focused on fighting isis it seems like american weapons pretty consistently end up not in the hands of terrorist fighters but in the hands of terrorists themselves lets see whats been captured. Because. Of the. 715000000. 00 can buy are a lot of ammunition now and that much goes missing in a war torn country thats crawling with terrorists eyebrows should be raised for comparison the republic of the congo and gonna spend less than 715000000. 00 in their annual military budgets latvia spends slightly more in 27. 00 team approximately 1000000000. 00 worth of arms transfers were not properly monitored by the pentagon big mistakes were made in this arm and equip program it partly its an accounting issue because the pentagon as we know has never been successfully audited they tried to audit the pentagon once and it was an absolute failure. They have no idea where the money goes and thats one half of the problem they just dont care because its not about defense its about 1st of all the military Industrial Complex the more weapons you lose the more you can buy and its this kind of symbiosis the the war machine in washington has so that is on one hand but on the other hand i think theres an intentional lack of oversight with regard to weapons in syria weve seen so many times advanced American Military technology in the hands of isis and al qaida and their offshoots in the region theres of been a flood of weapons into the region there are no consequences to the us its only a benefit to the well politically connected military Industrial Complex in washington d. C. To manufacture and send over more weapons they dont care about the misery of the people on the ground who have to suffer u. S. Leaders frequently describe their operations in the middle east as efforts to stabilize the region but nothing brings stability like going into war torn country is crawling with terrorists bringing in hundreds of millions of dollars worth of weapons and then accidentally losing them caleb mop and r. T. New york. Media freedom groups are giving a stark warning about the health of wiki leaks founder Julian Assange as he prepares for his u. S. Extradition hearing next week ill teach been speaking to his father about his health consent. Then one of julians of the 1st appearance in judge borats is called the judge and julian his name and his birth he was in such Poor Condition that he couldnt remember this is very unusual for a judge to continue hearing the plea of a prisoner when they come from him of their birth or their. Concert consequently we believe that julian or 2 of them immediately sent for in a teacher in hospital thats what would happen in a stroke here the judge would not continue the hearing because the prisoner was not well enough. Or more than 100 doctors from around the world are still writing against the u. K. s handling of the assault cases saying that hes being subjected to psychological torture while in jail theyre also calling on the Australian Government to intervene to protect its citizens and its now the 4th open letter for medical professionals weve been hearing from the director general of Reporters Without Borders who told us that assad has been targeted because of his journalism but that distressful that no this is not just the story of one individual it is about the ability of journalists to publish information relating to state secrets mr assad has been targeted because of his contributions to terrorism in 2010 being made his work is being targeted because he revealed so much civically on u. S. Military operations in iraq and afghanistan i never saw a g. s force the son tried in the us if he is extradited or is it this will pose a major threat to all terrorism has been nothing short of a dramatic decade ford jr songs tracing back to those revelations of wrongdoing in 2010 now today on our tape we are telling his story that is here next hour. I 1st heard about wiki leaks. From the helicopter footage in iraq. I think it down to people and i mean i mean u. S. Military who have never forgiven him for it this guys a traitor and treasonous and and he has broken every law the United States illegally shoot son of a u. S. Really historic to have. Independent journalist a guy with his computer to seeing you is a lot of crimes and to a global audience. The idea of developing an anonymous digital dropbox and applying it to a Media Organization is what he makes that was the 1st. I didnt the tour anticipate that he would be for a short while world time and run one of the worlds most powerful news organizations clearing the standard for founder Julian Assange in the sun over the sun and there was a great deal of jealous in the mainstream towards him particularly why wont he be more like off that you seem. Sneering feces on the walls. System. We have Julian Assange in solitary confinement in this prison for terrorists a way to keep the house alive in person the person. I dont want to see him die any u. S. Prison. And i think thats what hes facing. A flight carrying 73 evacuees from china has caused uproar across 3 ukrainian regions travelling from the epicenter of the corona Virus Outbreak it landed in the ukrainian city of thursday but it triggered a. Violent response from locals as 9 Police Officers and one civilian were injured in protest more now from our teams done a quota. Say some new people moved into the neighborhood they came from the epicenter of the deadly coronavirus pandemic perhaps youd be worried or angry but it would be hard to match the anger brewing in ukraine to just that situation. Oh. For the past several days ukraine has seen violent clashes across the country scores of policemen have been injured by locals throwing bricks riot police have been called in to disperse angry mobs and its all because the ukrainian authorities tried to do a good deed for the International Community they accepted with open arms a number of their countrymen and foreigners trying to flee by plane assuring the public the passengers were 100 percent coronavirus clean an important detail when ukraine itself has yet to see a case of the disease a Quarantine Zone was even set up at a Health Center in poltava just to be sure but the protesters did all they could to stop that plane from landing and when that failed they started blocking roads until riot police removed them by force. The buses made it to their destination in the end but there on welcome reception wasnt exactly what kiev expected president s a landscape. Called out the protesters for showing the uglier side of their humanity its a shame the not all of us can be proud of their humane reaction the efforts to shut off highways to block hospitals not to let ukrainians back to ukraine were not demonstrating the best of our character here especially given the majority of the passengers are under 30 to most of us they are almost children children are not ukraines protesters dont seem to be up for a game of russian roulette with the coronavirus. Cities across germany have held vigils for the 9 victims of wednesday night shootings in the west of the country the suspected attacker killed his mother and then himself and is believed to have racist motives 5 of the victims were turkish nationals reporting that from germany his picture all of a. On thursday evening we saw people coming out onto the streets of berlin and elsewhere in germany in memory of those who were killed in whats being investigated as a potential right wing terror attack in the city of how now on wednesday evening at the Brandenburg Gate that iconic symbol here in the center of berlin we saw people forming a human chain in solidarity with the people of haiti now also at another location in the city people saying that theyve come out on to the streets against racism and semitism and right wing terrorism theres also been a vigil taking place in the city of hanau where this incident took place frank falta steinmeier the german president who is in attendance there there have been other politicians out and about of various events that have been taking place on thursday evening 9 people were killed 2 separate locations 2 she should bars in the western city of head now not far from the major city of frankfurt a 42 year old man who is believed to be the main suspect was later found dead at his home alongside his 72 year old mother those that were witness to these 2 incidents in hanau described what they heard what they saw as the shootings took place in dont have such if you had to go i heard gunshots then i ran out and looked in the direction of the she should but i couldnt see anything i mean that the doors were open and people were running out of the other restaurants i heard from my neighbor that someone was shooting at the restaurant around back and told my guests to stay away from the window. I walked with my 2 little kids. Who pulled the shooting began through actually 100 meters from the place when i went up stairs i heard 5 to 7 gunshots. You know i came home at half past 9 parked my car and went upstairs we watch some t. V. Then my wife said there was a helicopter hovering overhead and i thought whats the matter. We waited a little and then looked out the roof window and saw a large group of Police Officers about 25 of them with about 20 vehicles they surrounded the house and it was a strange thing to see the show of the attorney general is confirmed that the investigation is focusing on a potential right wing extremist link this is after a 24. 00 page manifesto belonging to the main suspect was found in this manifesto he talks about a hatred of foreigners their hatred of nonwhites the extermination of people from certain nations in the middle east in north africa and in central asia it is riddled with racist tropes in bar right theories on things such as eugenics theres also a video which is emerged that was posted by the main suspect just a few days ago or. There is no clue in this that he was planning to carry out this type of attack it seems that its being directed towards those in the United States this video is well full of conspiracy theories what we have heard though is strong words from politicians here in germany saying that they want to get to the bottom of why this happened angola merkel the german chancellor counseled her apartment on thursday and said that no stone would be left unturned when it came to this investigation. That its too early to give a conclusive assessment everything is being done to find out what was behind this murder but a lot already suggests far right rhesus not of the attacker he apparently acted out of hatred towards people of different descent religion. Racism is a poison hatred is a poison and this close and exists in our society and has led to many crimes. But there are a lot of questions including how was this man able to get a gun in the 1st place in germany a country which has very strict gun laws the overall feeling at the moment certainly one of sadness while of mourning but also one of anger at just how this was able to happen in the 1st place when in the wake of the shootings the governing Christian Democratic Union was quick to point a finger at anti migrant rivals accusing the alternative for Germany Party of having extremist tendencies. Women in theater i ensure its fine if you look at their text profile it seems like he had racist xenophobia as well as far right motives and this transcends me mightily for the c. D. U. You should always be clear not only for the c. D. U. But for all parties in germany that they can be no corporation with a party which tolerates far right extremists and lets call a spade a spade not since monitoring so we are resolved to have no cooperation with the f. D. A. In any shape or form its important to keep the spirals. Tentative for germany its more or less the parliamentary wing of a right Wing Movement and even of the right being terrorists if they want or not they are the ones who give the key. To terrorists and every collaboration by other parties with the what. But give this party more credibility in the eyes of the followers so we have a level in the public debate that is more of a child than a rational political debate and when i hear yesterday night about that shooting i instinctively knew that our opponents would blame us for being responsible for it it is completely ridiculous and i can only ask everyone to read that money fester of this crazy terrorist and then compare it to what were doing and then its all views that its nonsense but no one reads of money 1st 2. 00 and so our opponent think if they only repeat and repeat and repeat that we are somehow linked to that or that that this terrorist had links to us than enough people would believe him. Ok maybe that happens but its just fake news and of course we fight against fake news. The tug of war between the u. K. And greece over classical sculptures seen athens fail for decades to return relics it says we stole. However it could be about to change all that with the e. U. Reportedly backing greeces claim to the socalled elgood mobbles brussels could now push britain to return them the collection was originally part of the parthenon in the greek capital theyre currently on display in the British Museum in london greece claims they were stolen by law delegate in the 19th century while the u. K. Insists it acquired them legally and the government says its position has not changed. The u. K. s position on the parthenon sculptures remains unchanged they are the legal responsibility of the British Museum that is not up for discussion as part of our trade negotiations cultural historian wendy girl and political and social commentator moran saw earlier discussed the links between democracy and the importance of history. You cant go around the world nicking stuff and then just saying were going to keep hold of it because its really valuable and we want people to come and see it it just as awash now adays in a i hate saying it but in a relatively woken like in Society People are asking for their stuff back and its very hard to construct a case when we go around the world stealing stuff and dont get back i think history itself is a very complicated place to go history is complex we do very well in britain threat Education System and so our western media missed telling it and misstating it we we dont half pick and choose what and how we tell history i mean we can say that letterman this is the worst of it so stupid to put the times in me we should be trying to we should be trying to have a discussion about this rather than you trying to interrupt me and the point i know its a case not only do i know he believes there is a history what we can do with these mothers now is continue to learn about history continues wonder stand their histories and continue to develop our knowledge by returning them back willy nilly to places that demand them were not caring for the objects themselves were not looking at these as. Pieces of our heritage of Global Heritage every single argument you make for keeping them away can be used for returning them im sure the greek people you know the home of democracy some great thinkers you might consider will be able to figure out how to display this to the public we shouldnt be just using them as as kind of political footballs all taking the moral taking taking the moral high ground taking the moral high ground we live in a world that is constantly changing and we need to i think recognize that you know the. These are bigger than the most theres numbers in history my concern is that by not coming under the auspices of the European Court of justice were not going to be held accountable how on earth is the British Government ever going to be held accountable for the sins that it commits as a state at home and overseas if we dont have a higher court to answer to so i think britain is is perfectly poised to be able to do exactly what it wants and i think in terms of brecks it that discussion about it is a discussion about democracy its about sovereignty theres no point in kind of really hashing old historical arguments when we are when i think were in a completely new place where people in britain are thinking about how do we have a future where were free of a bureaucracy outside of person that were not that is not accountable to us and how can we can tie our define our lives just around a losing argument. Well ok thats your opinion. And that youre out in europe for the south thanks for watching how to buy your way into the white house next as crosstalk examines the deep pockets of work for the United States top job. And were going to fulfill the repeated purposes. To the people and promise to be you know we all pots be. Pretty. Pretty good. Now you want to. Know. All. Cut. Coming out my. Face you. Know kind of quick intentions of i think its worth in christening and maybe even 40 years ago it was simply evaporated and you know it seems to me pleasurable. Were still in an era of resource colonialism again this is a big risk and the one big thing that could really inhibit the kind of electric vehicle revolution that a lot of us want to see is if we cant resource the battery components in a sustainable ethical way then its not going to be a successful revolution.
