Welcome to the program. Leading politicians in germany have brutally criticised the anti modern day of the party in the wake of wednesdays racially motivated mass shooting and left people dead. Have not established a direct link between the attack around the Party Lawmakers are arguing i have 50 has helped for meant an atmosphere of xenophobia and hatred. But i had at 1st glance it looks like it was a lone wolf but sadly the one man girl on the outside but they were those who had provided him with this ammunition and the differently moment the gifted in germany struggles to come to terms with the events of this weeks tragic slayings in weve seen politicians from the Christian Democratic Union the social democrats they are part of the Ruling Coalition as well as the left party on the greens as well coming out and accusing alternative media day of funding the flames a far right extremism in the country of course theres a direct connection between the growing strength of the f. D. A. And the increase in right wing violence citizens of foreign descent are being denied their Human Dignity its so dangerous because it brings some to a point where they commit a crime here we have a fatal disinhibited at work and the f. T. Bears responsibility for that too 9 people were killed this week 2 shooting incidents at 2 separate she should bars in the city of hama all of those that were killed were from an immigrant background most of them were young people as well we heard from one eyewitness who describe for us the scenes of that night when condom on the man came in and started shooting at a kiosk then he came to us he shot the 1st person in the head then shot of the 2nd person well drop down to the ground i pretended to be dead we all pretended to be dead we all fell down and he the shooter had emptied his magazine and by then and just run away. From my eyes i was ok i was still alive but i just didnt want to believe it was real i asked unit everything was ok he groaned he got me he got me there was a hole in his neck i shouted the other guy to ask if he was ok he hadnt seen a bullet in a shoulder yet he didnt see the blood as he was wearing a coat he said jamiroquai i stood up and saw interest lying is brother nasser he was down there in the others were lying there too so i went out and peeped into the key. The people in there ruled out i didnt know what to do i just couldnt believe it was happening or police have confirmed that the main suspect had killed himself his body was found alongside out of the 7 other the 42 year old owned 2 weapons legally the handgun that he used to carry out the attack had been modified to allow it to release bullets quicker than alongside calls for tighter security and more surveillance of far right to vittie in germany there are also calls for tougher gun laws in the country possibly strong as the heir to his Foreign Policy speaker in the bundestag he told us why he believes the partys coming in for so much criticism. The killer was d the paranoid he was because a friend make the point he said it very soon on twitter and this guy had no connection to any any Political Group to any. Extremist to any right wing groups and what is what is just terrible. The situation that the all Political Parties are trying to get somehow to the a. F. C. This is the only way how can they manage to fight against us because they have no real political arguments and policy in the political discussion so therefore they are always just trying to push us into. Doing corner so that the people are afraid even to talk to us to listen to our political arguments we are we are living in. Had very heavy political oppression in my mind we are not free. To express what we want our people are permanently under attack of left extremists and you know what happened now is that we are putting in the corner where we donned the long. Tensions running high in syrias war torn Idlib Province the leaders of turkey and russia held a phone call on friday to discuss ways of resolving the crisis. In an intercept a bedouin said they remain committed to previous deescalation agreements conversation comes a day off the Turkish Forces and allied rebel fighters launched an offensive against Syrian Government position near the town of a let up. Or the less they might have done 100000 people displaced by the violence 2 u. S. Lawmakers a call for secretary of state. To take diplomatic action against syria and russia at the same time with the American Military officials have also acknowledged the complexity of the situation in libya admitting the province has become a haven for extremist factions it seems to be a magnet for terrorist groups especially because it is an ungoverned space in many ways the rev wright of groups there all of them are a nuisance a menace and the threat to hundreds of thousands of civilians who are just trying to make it through the winter because out of takes a closer look at what how we live has become a key flashpoint in the syrian conflict a drawing in competing international powers. 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 one a good study says weve beaten them and weve 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 connotation 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. 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 committed to making it live a safe place. And the people of the region at all costs militants shamelessly boasting turkey provided a. P. C. s coming on mosques covered by turkish artillery fire russias air force joins the Party Together with 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 su 22. 00 of the Russian Force at the request of the syrian command have carried out strikes against the terror 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 hurdle was 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 oiled we did leave so just because were keeping the oil we may have to fight for the oil thats ok i like the oil yet a nother 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 geo strategic chess 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 their government and partly to claim different parts of syria for themselves syria has an important place in geo strategic we in geographically in the 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 its actually a proxy war by International Players using the syrian country the syrian battlefield as a proxy battlefield. Not a nation to sharply criticized the rot is in central ukraine off they attacked of boss taking evacuees from china to a quarantine facility here in the spread of the new coronavirus dozens of locals in over his sons already demonstrated against the arrival of 45 nationals and 27 foreigners from the city at the epicenter of the outbreak. But. The. 0 flight from the chinese city of on where tens of thousands of people have been infected landed in the crane city of cut off on thursday the clashes left 9 Police Officers one civilian injured still quarter of the story. 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. Cool. 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. Cool. The number of. The buses made it to their destination in the end but there on welcome reception wasnt exactly what kiev expected presidency lansky even called out the protesters for showing the uglier side of their humanity its a shame the not all of us can be proud of the humane reaction the efforts to show funny ways to. 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. Britains largest offends an Aerospace Company b. Are you systems as a received of criticism online after its chief executive boasted the firm made bumper profits last year 2019 was a good year for the company we grew sales by 7 percent. And that enabled us to grow our dividend by 4 and a half percent which is the greatest increase weve had with dividends in the past 8 years. Will be a u. Systems is the largest the fence contractor in europe and the 4th largest in the worlds among its most lucrative markets is saudi arabia which accounts for 15 percent of its annual Group Earnings the companys dealings with the riyadh have been repeatedly called into question over accusations the gulf kingdom has committed numerous war crimes in yemen the saudi arabia became involved in the conflict there in 2050 years of intervene in support of the internationally recognized government in its fight against rebels since then the war has claimed over 100000 lives with many people displaced b. A. Has always insisted it complies with all arms laws and 2nd regulations but thats not stopping the criticism online. So glad killing people has brought you a nice dividend manufacturing weapons of death and sell them to questionable states the murder kits but well done. The air east systems profits more than just financial killing. Didnt at the expense of human lives murderers under smith as a Media Coordinator for the campaign against the arms trade he told us earlier that governments need to take far more stringent approaches to weapons so criticism of b. Has to be that it is arming and supporting some of the most brutal and repressive regimes and wildest is putting weapons into a war zone in yemen which is making the situation in measurably worse because rate no plane to jets which are made by the systems are flying over yemen firing missiles which you need by. Missile company which has one virtue and by the systems longer about what is going on and more they have profiteered because where everybody is war and conflict there will always be major armed companies trying to profit from it because the problem isnt just the companies will become please do have a responsibility of a problem are a bit governments who are taking such a relaxed approach to arms that the arms control and are actively arming and supporting human rights abusing regimes dictatorships in war zones around its bats lead is about level of Political Support for the arms industry which really needs which needs to stop immediately. Pentagon reporters accuse the us military of failing to keep track of weapons worth hundreds of millions of dollars in syria is just weapons were left vulnerable to loss or theft which hasnt earned skyrockets an operational costs and had other major consequences as well more on that aisle from kaleb 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 Inherent resolve on 1st that sustainment command personnel left thousands of counter arses 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 that these weapons and it 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 fools 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 unilaterally 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. 715000000. 00 can buy are a lot of ammunition now and that much goes missing in a war torn country its 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 the fence 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 that 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 described 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. Russian nationals reportedly been arrested while attempting to leave spain the Russian ForeignMinistry Said it believed she was detained at the request of the u. S. Authorities lets get telescope more details. The Russian Foreign ministry has announced that on the 14th of february spanish authorities detained a Russian National woman who goes by the name of a lesser what do we know about her well we know that she is from a part of siberian such russian the mother says that for over 10 years between 20082019 she worked as a clock in the u. S. Embassy in moscow and maybe she was just taking fingerprints in the International Department which was eventually closed down off to actually what translates in the Russian Center for plant inspection now was in that capacity that unless it was in spain in the fast pace on the items of 10 a wreath and she was part of an official delegation on a short walk trip and it was on her return journey back to russia that she was arrested thought that she is still being held in a facility on the island now lets listen to how her mother has described this whole ordeal the sort of. The plane is here is not the airline said she was booked on to the flight but we couldnt find her she didnt answer the food. Without knowing where the worse and then it turned out that she was detained. We still havent even talked to her they stopped her like she was and who thinks they didnt know what had happened now whats worth noting whats very interesting is that there has been some suggestion that preceded was arrest was instigated by the u. S. But why would washington be interested in her while her mother said the subset of patients had been made against her daughter that she sold. Biometric data to thought parties something which can be punished with as much as a life sentence stateside but according to such and sources the Russian Foreign ministry is concerned that actually this rest is part of a wider pattern of this. U. S. Behavior its a new case of the us authorities an acceptable practice of hunting for russian citizens around the world the Russian Foreign ministry has repeatedly issued warnings about the dangerous and risks associated with similar actions by the American Intelligence Services and indeed other cases would seem to back that up for example alexander vinick is a Russian National an entrepreneur who was arrested in another european country nearby greece again out the request of american authorities now washington claims hes been involved in some sort of bitcoin involved Money Laundering scheme something that the family to noise similarly an executive of a Russian State Company was arrested in italy last year again at the behest of washington so definitely sutton echoes that as for this current case with a less episode of our must of course is trying to get to the bottom of it that were following the story as well way crosstalk up next with the u. S. President ial Election Special back in 30 minutes with the latest. Well. Most people think to stand out in this business you need to be the 1st one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest race in truth to stand out in the music business you just need to ask the right questions and demand the right answer. Questions there. This is a pretty young boy not a moon through mom but in your circles one of. The many much for the call of little. Made it through tomorrow when theyre. Not. Quite in good part of her new year already on the eastern side but they have no major themes to trace. Pity. That that. In the troubled 19 seventies a group of killers rampage through parts of Northern Ireland that was coordinated loyalist attacks protect the only population of tens of thousands were forced to flee their homes come up with strike and put these attacks was a p. R. You see the Police Actually took part in the attacks so instead of preventing it they were active participants in the burning of coal streets in belfast at the take more than a 100 innocent civilians women. As the review can seniors and we found out more i was surprised about the extent and its occurrence which the pollution was involved in some of those cases the killers would later be named into the now were getting i think it went to the very very top i think it is.
