Gore saying. Im delighted to endorse and support joe biden for president. Joe biden and i hope you will join me in working to make. Just to remind you super tuesday is when the largest number of states.

But its not a secret that anybody in this room or the corporate establishment is going to go for the political establishment is going to go to the little do everything u. S. Territory American Samoa are awarded a couple of delegates to remains in the race lets take part in the next debates that is until the Democratic National committee change rules again and the morgan explains the Democratic Partys machine has been widely exposed for playing favorites when it comes to president ial candidates the latest example of this is the treatment of tulsa gabbert as a result of these super tuesday vote gabbert gained a delegate and was thus eligible to appear in the televised debate so the d. N. C. Then changed the rules we have 2 more debates of course this threshold will go up by the time we have the much debate almost 2000 delegates will be allocated the threshold will reflect where we are in the race as it always has the rules keep changing in order to make sure that tulsi is locked out her supporters poured out their rage on to twitter god forbid told she gets back on the debate writes translation tosi finally hit the debate qualifications so we got to do something about that despite the fact theres literally only 5 people left in the race. You must really not want to move to a big stage pathetic the bias against tulsa gabbert is rather extreme media reports pretend that she doesnt even exist they claim that Elizabeth Warren is somehow the only female candidate and youre going to Say Something about Elizabeth Warren is she going to benefit by being the only woman left now that amy clover sharers out Elizabeth Warren recently dropped out of the race so if the democrats want to keep with their message of inclusion they should have telsey gabbert on the stage but they seem to have a locked are out just like theyve done in the past furthermore Tulsi Gabbert is currently suing Hillary Clinton for publicly smearing her as a russian asset now some people suspect that the bias against tulsa gabbert is rooted in the fact that back in 2016 she endorsed Bernie Sanders and did not line up behind Hillary Clinton furthermore its worth pointing out that shes been rather critical of the debate process and the lack of inclusion back in november telsey gabbert used her permitted debate appearance to go after d. N. C. Favorite candidate Camila Harris and her record as a criminal prosecutor the facts were damning and the Harris Campaign shut down shortly afterwards however it seems to be told the antiwar stance taken as she is a u. S. Service member that is the real on forgivable clincher she wants to and regime change wars and cut military spending congress and just passed a 738000000000. 00 war budget instead of providing for the health the safety the security the well being of our people and our planet the Democratic Partys leadership seems to disagree with her they favor regime change operations and bloated military expenditures the Democratic Party favors continued military operations around the world done in the name of defending democracy and at home they dont mind arbitrarily changing the rules to make sure that democracy doesnt get in the way. This vitally important war agenda caleb r. T. New york. Greece says that it has stopped around 39000. 00 Asylum Seekers from crossing into the e. U. From turkey the situation escalated im chris said that it would no longer on or a migration deal. Oh a little bit of. Work out there 7 was. Always going to have a great territory have been our rest of the military. And in my mind this is really me go a way of entering one country. Now on thursday turkey announced the deployment of 1000. 00 Additional Police officers to the border to stop greece from driving back Asylum Seekers migrants continued to try and cross despite to gas from both sides and athens farming water cannon and the migrants e. U. Foreign ministers are back to greece following talks on the escalating crisis reporting from the border his shadow didnt ski. In the dead of night theyve set up camp these migrants who say they are from syria have succeeded where so many havent crossed the border from turkey into greece. Or. But even the most basic of comforts can come at a cost on the 1. 00 hand lighting a fire means warmth for the children on the other it means being visible to the Security Forces in full and t. Is trying to protect greeces. Food is greece says it stopped thousands from entering into its borders within the last week of those who have made it through many have been arrested and they have been taken to detention facilities like this one here behind me that surround 10 miles from the frontier now you can see children playing clothes hung out to dry so despite the barbed wire and the high fences with security posts life goes on greece has Just Announced that it will create another center in this area to do with any new cross from turkey the plan is to deport them as soon as possible and while e. U. Chiefs have come to greeces aid saying it is acting as europe shield others are more critical of the books position this is a moment to which people is questioning guy davidi existence and the role of the of the European Union not so we dont have to feel to run after the storm much of the people we must help the people to understand how complex is the life oakum pixies that is the is the war there and and and showed the ability to have the Political Force to fix that and not calling these people and these disparate people. Because calling a greaser shield that means that these people are our weapon for the president and he says the buddha should be opened there is no. Even in the in the policies of the European Union that allow the members to suspend. Did the right. To request. You know contrary i know the disease a very difficult situation but democracy and the rule of law must apply more than ever in this kind of situation and my opinion is that francesco. About. Out dignity the conditions on the border are not dignified he said neither was the existence of many thousands of my clients who live on a day to day basis stuck in limbo in senses like weve seen hes calling on the e. U. To sort out its issues and to find a solution to the crisis so that countries like greece no longer left shouldering the burden of my question. Ski aussie luck you need the greek Turkish Border furious blame turkey and are now demanding brussels and cooperation this is again a good lesson for us that hear a pin union and doesnt solve our problems it only makes the problems worse we paid 6000000000. 00 euros to the turkish regime and what do we get out of the storm the several years we only get blackmailed again so it is due to the other gun just wants more money from us and this has to stop in february it is clear that mr hat. Are not a reliable partner or sound so i think that the e. U. Should keep the interim council because i think that european taxpayer certainly have lost a lot of money i mean in my view would be an appropriate response for the e. U. To suspend the Turkish Customs Union with immediate effect. And. We may well be demanding this in the not too distant future. Following 6 hours of high stakes negotiations in moscow on thursday believes of russia and turkey agreed on the 6 far in syrias war torn italy Province Bank opposing sides of the conflict which has brought them close the direct confrontation. If super thanklessness measurement is good but we dont always agree with our turkish partners in our evaluation of the situation in syria but critical moments having high level bilateral relations weve always managed to find Common Ground on controversial issues and have found acceptable solutions. But at midnight beginning on the 6th of march a ceasefire will be implemented we will take all necessary steps to ensure it lasts our goal is to do Everything Possible to prevent the humanitarian situation from deteriorating in the region. Believe is also agreed to set up a 12 kilometer long humanitarian corridor. For highway in the center of the province joint patrols on the college will start next week executive director of the Peace Institute told r. T. Its in the interest of both moscow and ankara to ensure that this cease fire holds. We should all breathe a sigh of relief because truly russia and turkey were on the brink of direct conflict it was careening out of control and i think it was very wise to have called this bilateral meeting to hammer it out because there are the danger of it actually adding into war and possibly including nato was very real the whole issue of the of the war torn in the province is not that different in the war for aleppo province which amazingly settled down once it was liberated from the from the control of jihad its of extremists of alqaeda and thats the exact same thing in the province the important thing is that the m 4 in an m 5 highways will be open up thats important to certainly to russia into syria but lets also remember the elder one is having some problems back home theres a huge brawl in the Parliament Just yesterday with 2 with the parties fighting each other the opposition parties are not thrilled that everyone has essentially embedded Turkish Military forces with al qaida to serve as human shields to prevent the syrians from retaking their own territory hes gone way out on a ledge and i think hes finding himself at the end of his political row perhaps. The number of coronavirus cases globally has risen to more than 100000 and italys government has put a number of regions in the countrys north on lockdown to try to stop the spread of the outbreak it is an area that houses around a quarter of italys population and you decree bans anyone leaving or entering the region unless or quote deferrable work needs or emergency situations most Public Places including schools museums and cinemas will be closed Public Events are banned until april. Meanwhile in the southeast of china 4 people have been killed 38 people were rescued after a hotel collapsed when the local media the hotel itself was being used as a quarantine site for suspected coronavirus patients about 30 people asked. Still trapped only to rubble its not clear at this point what led to the collapse. And as a nation scramble to stem the spread of coronavirus here in russia there are so far 14 confirmed cases dozens of people are in quarantine and their observations are senior correspondent. Themselves gone through 2 weeks of self isolation at home following a trip to hong kong he told us what the experience was like and about the other measures russia is taking to try keep infections at bay one of the things you could do you realize as a bearded man is you just look silly in the face mask but this is my only you should be near from hong kong my trip to hong kong and i was only there for a few days while i was there there were hardly any infections all in the weeks since but coming back to moscow the medics here really didnt care so you were treated like anyone else and our 1st taste of what was the card was still in the plane when a lady came aboard and this is while we were still in the plane having landed she took all our measurements our temperatures and she was in full has maggie and so we walked past passport control into the baggage area and there were dozens and dozens of medics in full hazmat gear covered head to taking down everything about us what we did who we were with where we were this is all part of a huge russian effort to make sure that the 19 virus didnt gain a foothold here the monitoring of the epidemiological situation was organized from the initial days of this complex situation additional measures were taken to strengthen sanitary in quarantine control at check points across the russian border 6 new cases of corona virus infections were recorded during the monitoring period in all cases a full range of necessary and see epidemic measures was organized which prevented the subsequent spread of the infection. When they 1st mentioned quarantine i thought would be like a mini vacation you get to sit at home and as it turns out it isnt after all so he calls throughout the day starting in the morning for medics asking how youre feeling when there are any symptoms call whatever. Visited by police and medics just to check up on you to make sure that you were still at home i would eventually out of sheer boredom with the terms of the quarantine agreement that i signed at the airport and the penalties are pretty severe so for example if if you leave the house to go to the shop which you can then you just leave and nothing nothing happens well that starts a fire and potentially Community Service if you leave the house or apartment the Quarantine Zone and you infect someone adds up to a year in jail a year in jail if you infect someone and they do want to die that is up to 5 years in prison which is a pretty severe punishment to. A lot of fear i would say panic would around the world and in russia as well which is which isnt being helped by the fact that theres a lot of misinformation misleading information on the internet for example one russian sub Security Company for example is identified a message being repeated online that is spreading misinformation and there are people out there that are you know enjoying this. Good evening i have some bad news there really want to save the people i care about i beg you to spread this information as much as possible if our thora g. s do not want to inform us about this well have to inform each other about this leaked information there are 20000 patients with corona virus in moscow walk with masks dont go to crowded places take care of each other and stock up on food i fortunately its sad that shops will be empty this information is more than reliable. The end of the day its just common sense to follow advice that you read on the internet and read it for example followed by did you hear from doctors job wash your hands regularly dont touch your face as a bit of personal advice that i can give you if youve got a trip lined up in the immediate future to a place where theres been without a break. The quarantine isnt worth it. To whistleblowers are planning a new legal challenge to the world chemical weapons watchdog this after an obesity w. Inquiry branded the inspectors broke when they went public in the wake of the study of an alleged attack in duma in syria 2 years ago they now want a scientific hearing and in a letter to the director general they accuse the watchdog of ignoring their work. Inspect to be annoyed tried on many occasions to meet with you you may also know open haps not that these requests were all denied the reason given by a senior official was its my role to protect the director general you will never get to speak with him and if you try to go around me to get him there will be consequences letters to the director of the Global Chemical weapons watchdog courtesy of the gray zone project there the latest development in a ping Pong Exchange of correspondence between david and goliath whistleblowers and the o. P. C. W. Inspector a ny have tried to resolve our concerns with you in private however this saga has unfortunately escalated to a point where we are now publicly portrayed as adversaries inspectors are now being smeared as the into this is of these values for nothing more than daring to speak out the smearing started back in february with a report in response to what the Organization Called a breach of confidentiality leaks that casts doubt on the o. P. C. W. s conclusions about duma they said the gas cylinders were likely place there rather than dropped from an aircraft and that one area was likely not even subjected to a chemical attack but the report barely even touched on any of that the authors were too busy trying to tear the whistleblowers inspectors a and b. To pieces. Inspectors a and b. Are not whistleblowers theyre individuals who could not accept that their views were not backed by evidence their behaviors even more egregious as they had manifestly incomplete information about the doom and vesta gave their conclusions were erroneous on informed and rone erroneous uninformed that doesnt seem very becoming for 2 guys who are apparently the Inspection Team leaders why would a pair of the top Inspection Team leaders both with impeccable record both incidentally from the west and Group Background who have never set a foot wrong suddenly go rogue did these old circumstances not ring some warning bells they sure are confident in their qualifications but it goes farther than that inspectors a and b. Categorically rejects one of the o. P. C. W. s biggest claims against them that they have pretty much nothing to do with the investigation and no access to Important Information when i joined the team shortly after the start of the deployments to do inspect a b. And i continued playing a central role in the overall investigation the final report didnt exactly benefit from the editorial turnaround information was slashed details removed and facts dont explain why its not like the inspectors didnt try to get answers to their questions before pressing the big red leak button something had gone wrong inside the o. P. C. W. s and we wanted you to know its that simple they even think there might have been a bit of deception at play the investigation was conducted by a british investigator and a lawyer from the us. The activities of the Fact Finding Mission were managed by your chief of cabinet from france whose views are echoed in both the narratives does it not strike you was somewhat biased in the the 3 individuals represent the 3 defendants the 3 countries who were responsible for the missile strikes in response to the allegation of a chemical attack in duma and o. P. C. W a leak and some back and forth later there are still so many questions and few answers as to why. It really happened and weve asked the o. P. C. W. For its response to the claims in the meantime we spoke to former f. B. I. Agent don whistleblower Coleen Rowley who suspects a Smear Campaign of the water took the allegation an accusation that these 2 inspectors who were amongst the top experts they were the 1st hand investigators that actually examined the evidence the l a geisha that they went rogue makes no sense at all and again given that they were amongst the top professionals in it with the expertise in engineering and in chemical weapons these were the top people so it really is really defies believability that they would have gone rogue they asked their close to retire you know they have done a many many years of faithful service to the o. P. C. W. They believe in the mission of truth in times of war truth becomes the 1st casualty and syria is no different at this point it would have to be one side is not telling the truth here and. The entity that changed conclusions out of reports would be the suspected entity that is not telling the truth. Britain says that it will deploy the navy to prevent a new fishing vessel from entering its waters its becoming a case taking point in the brigs it trying to see some explains. The town of pool on englands south coast is one of the u. K. s oldest fishing communities and the local economy relies heavily on the fisheries industry its a calm and a daily town but life could be about to be brutally disrupted if the political rhetoric is to be believed the u. K. s tory government have warned the e. U. That if their ships try to access british waters theyll deploy the royal navy to keep them out setting the stage for a confrontation on the high seas we have increased it. The u. K. Is currently in a socalled transition period in the gauche a should have begun which will determine what kind of deal the u. K. Will leave with at the end of december this year but when it comes to fishing the 2 sides are still far apart in the demands the u. K. Wants the e. U. To follow british law and for negotiations to take place annually similar to an agreement they have with norway they you however wants to have a Long Term Agreement with quotas on fishing missy uses the deficit tree warned the e. U. Against trying to use fisheries as a negotiating chip while the french of hit back saying theyre more than ready to get nasty if the u. K. Isnt willing to play ball all we played with emotion was drama was passion with symbols and we know how to make it a very i think about both sides both sides very nice about them playing nasty could mean the french blockading channel ports and some british fishermen say that the french are provoking the u. K. Into taking harsh measures if its decided to take that action. I think that it would just for my palm. To. Self manage ourselves and on fully prepared for things i dont think it would worry that the u. K. Fishermen until we should have our own waters back. In the past we have adam and if its belgium and everyone gets bigger quote than the english freshman so sanction got to be done if the english freshman down on a friend like that would be arrested on the other side of the channel the food of mistrust is neutral and the sense is that a confrontation is inevitable but their financial we havent really been informed we hope this case is looking up because if there were no negotiations it would mean a no deal at the end of the year in this case would be excluded from british waters this would be a disaster for the fishermen of the whole to france but also for french fishermen in general about since youre obviously it is a deal or no deal but i think that if we are going towards a no deal the u. K. As ourselves the European Union not only france would lose a loss anyway it is not in our interests or u. K. Interests we must find an agreement with great britain. E. U. U. K. Negotiations only began formally this week but already the question of fisheries could derail talks and lead to tit for tat retaliations that harm both french and british fishing communities and damage relations between these longtime allies alley r. T. In pulled. Out with half an hours time either. They all. Fell. Asleep. Yes well this is how the good. Listener. Limerick. It quite an option is driven by banks failing and countries failing and now in lebanon theyve got a huge crisis and of course big plans come to the rescue. Something. I think the men that we attract to the military you know weve got to the army of one you know be all you can be all those themes that weve had throughout the years very very heavily masculine masculinity cannot be victimized because if youre a leader if youre a masculine person and youre victimized then youre weak the problem is that anybody can be a victim of sexual assault. I joined the service in 1972 the military was a great way to lie. I got to see the world. I got educated i love the military. Was 19 and i went to chelsea alone and the next in a male always laying on the ground i was struck from behind and 2 guys hold me down and one guy was pulling my pants down. And. You know. He was taking care of his business and you know struggled and i was being struck and hit and told you know told to shut up or theyd kill me. And i see how it destroyed my life. I mean it im ive been married 3 times this luckily i have a wife right now who ive been married to for 25 years. You start wondering you start sort of you know youre coming up with reasons why things are the way they are and for a long time i kept thinking i dont know this something something else. I had never told anybody over 30 years i decided to tell my wife. It was the scariest moment my life
