Has been step ally somewhat theres a recognition that there is a stalemate Rex Tillerson a few weeks ago did indicate the possibility of negotiations even without preconditions donals from. This kind of talk remains popular with his right wing supporters certain me donald from at this state does not believe that he is ready to make the first small so perhaps the two careers may make the first move is but another development taken jong un has now reopened a Cross Border Communications link with south korea and whats being seen as a significant diplomatic breakthrough that said the standoff between the u. S. And north korea looks set to continue though into twenty eighteen of the whats already been twelve months of personal attacks and vicious threats from both sides. Europe strategic patience. With the north korean regime has failed. To. Make anyone ready to say. They will be met with fire fury. The u. S. Neglects the international communitys will establish peace on the Korean Peninsula behave like Children Play to each other in kindergarten movie can stop them. And we can have mad men out there shooting rockets all over the place you will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea. Rocket man is on a Suicide Mission for himself no one can prompt himself is on a Suicide Mission. But. We need a pause we need dialogue. He is a sick puppy. Twenty seventeen saw a world changing events but it was also a year when it was sometimes hard to tell fact from fiction wasnt it the fake news swirled around global News Coverage more than ever last year next jacqueline explains what propelled it into the Mainstream Media. Fake news the term that has filled the headlines and your social media feeds for the past twelve months has been deemed two thousand and seventeen word of the year at least by collins dictionary the nation relies on me to read truthful facts and i call and say that sound which is of god on strike. Its news stories. Like. And the Mainstream Media would have you believe that fake news goes hand in hand with topics such as russia putin and the kremlin sake news thats being spread by russia fake he has dominated the true had lines fake news spread by russia big news fake news kremlin spread misleading or otherwise fake news certain outlets even to the battle against the fake news phenomenon to the front lines this is an apple. Some people might try to tell you that its a banana you might even start to believe that this is a banana. But its not. Is an apple. Facts first should go without saying but the Mainstream Media have found themselves in the wrong on a Staggering Amount of occasions even c. N. N. Has been guilty of it they were forced to retract their report on a connection between Anthony Scaramucci who was on trumps Transition Team and a Russian Investment Fund manager issuing an apology for the false story three people lost their jobs over that one but of course there was the breaking news one in september by most major outlets in the u. S. Dropping the bombshell that the russians had attempted to hack the election systems in twenty one states caught red handed it was the evidence everyone had been waiting for to prove the russians did it until one by one states came forward saying no hack here and the story of two thousand and seventeen quickly crumbled on to december and some of americas most influential news outlets spread another explosive and one hundred percent false news story to millions yes the wiki leaks token of help to the Trump Campaign and the hacks d. N. C. Emails wiki leaks equals russia there for once. Plus one equals three and the kremlin and trump are in cahoots message sent in the final stretch of the twenty sixteen campaign if this email on september fourth gave donald trump his son and others the decryption key for hacked wiki leaks documents illusion question right because we could weeks was essentially acting as an agent of russian intelligence the media frenzy was however short lived the files had in fact not been handed over before being made public but after so not the knockout blow to the president they were all hoping for surprisingly about the whole story was based on one email from a random guy and somewhere in the build up to the revelation hitting the headlines numerous people had read the date incorrectly the list of fakes goes on and on especially for russia somehow in the mix and inflammatory claims centering on russia are some of the best out there and thats despite one major outlet being caught admitting the hype was all just a big red herring what do you thinks going to happen this week with gold rush is. Going to be really so perhaps the word of the year should be anonymous i grabbing headlines and allegations quickly turn to guilt despite no evidence all it takes is anonymous sources. Jacki for the reporting that coming up on new year and another deadly start for yemen as we report after the break. A plate for many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i got. The ball isnt only about what happens on the pitch for the final school its about the passion from the families its the age of the super money. Spend spend be true to the twenty million. Its an experience like nothing else because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy great so well with. Its going to. Yemen suffered its first deadliest strike in twenty eight saying with more than twenty killed in the key port of ho data on new years day three of the worlds biggest humanitarian agencies have now joined together to highlight that yemen has passed the grim milestone of ensuring more than a thousand days of war explaining that three quarters of the yemeni population needs humanitarian aid and that about two thirds deprived of food water and basic sanitation. I am poor i have no tender i can live i suffer from the cold. I was given a place to sleep by some people to warm up on hot days right on the sidewalk. But there is no help comes very rarely one sick year maybe but now we have no help or blanket on tattered fifteen people sleeping on a. Ukrainian president s looking forward to getting hold of new lethal weapons in the United States we hear Petro Poroshenko tweeted that ukraines military budget is increasing to a record three billion dollars now and that the u. S. Weapons will be bolstered by locally but you start with two part of history here the war in ukraine started in twenty fourteen after the uprising saw the government deposed but it met with big resistance from the pro russian east of the country leading to the two regions entering Armed Conflict against Government Troops more than ten thousand people from both sides have been killed in the conflict according to the un and he will campaign Richard Becker thinks washingtons arms sales now weve got nothing to do though with bringing peace. The aim here on the part of the u. S. Government remains the same that it has had for several years and that is to attach ukraine not only to the European Community which the u. S. Doesnt care that much about but to bring the ukraine into nato as well which would pose a very great threat to russia if that were to take place considering that the im going to spill it its expressed from washington and from nato headquarters is so prevalent so we cant really distinguish between draw some sharp land between often said in defense of weaponry in this case its all the offensive and defensive weaponry both necessary for any modern armed forces. For syria and iraq twenty eighteen meantime does mean emerging from the shadows of brutal rule few families are left im scarred by what they went through a senior correspondent. As a story next to two young soon girls he met in the ages gone struggling to survive after being left alone in the ravaged city of deraa civil. Meet sally shes five maybe six perhaps seven she doesnt know and this market the streets. Surviving isiss c. G. Of the resort was no mean feat so many perished as a result of starvation sickness violence. Sally is a survivor she has a sister and brother were abandoned by their parents years ago they divorced and left the children to fend for themselves. Oh im. Still on the land she spends her days begging stealing playing and surviving no easy lot for them in this life for my neighbors who knew their family have taken pity on the kids and have looks out for them but its not easy. I wanted to take her in but she kept escaping i sent people to look for her but she never stays in one place long show escapes. Me back there. Sallys sister all she has left since her brother died of starvation we found the older girl at the end of this gloomy bullet riddled carville is a room with broken windows in it leaves a young girl with only flies bloodstain mattresses for company. About a month ago sagitta who doesnt remember her age was brought in with a head injury. When she fell she damaged an implant that siphons away the fluid different people tell different versions some say the full was accidental others attempted suicide. The fluids keep building and there will be consequences she will lose her sight hearing and the ability to swallow the pressure on her brain was grown. In hospital i dont know shell find new cures indeed as order as we were filming a nice a shell landed just a few hundred meters away sagitta needs to get to damascus to survive but lacking identification relatives and trapped in a war zone its difficult to see how thats possible. Sagitta doesnt get so many visitors but there is one vigil person who always makes a smile. If left alone sagitta begins to scream and cry she needs people there is cool is for optimism sides as suffering has touched a chord action is being taken to get the girls out of bed as or but for now all they really have the side from promises and pity is each other or i guess. From their us or syria.

In the heart of the swiss alps this is a place probably more secretive than the pentagon more mysterious than the cia and better guarded than for knox swiss customs are here permanently and all the site is controlled by them and they impose the opening time so it will go up was it it was to do these forms or press the procedures in place of the strictest in all europe. To pieces by artists like pecans oh and modigliani i kept boards unsold inside this warehouse thats where the report comes in it covers a. Naturally discreet commercially discreet step but also discreet because they concern fraud. Some of those paintings are linked to dark secrets nobody knows how many of these secrets kept inside the Geneva Freeport system youll never obtain an inventory of all the works in the freeport who knows how many there are three hundred three thousand three hundred thousand its a matter of confidentiality only is it the worlds black box of the art business. You know when you dont. See the teacher. Then equip it. To what they need not through only ten space it. May. Lead to no they. Said. No to me that a. Few speak french. Thats new. Good. Leads. Greetings and salutation. You cannot have a revolution without dancing and you cannot have dancing without music revolution will always and forever be intertwined with music because most often its the musician the poet who channels the rhymes and heart beats of change that often starts as a soft melodic whisper creeping out from the underground and then question goes into a grand opera of cultural change and up people and that intertwined history is why the musician will always be an agent or instrument if you will of change their lyrics the melodies can shine a light on the injustices and bring attention to the underrepresented and even helped bring down the giants themselves. Today lets find out what comes first the revolution or the music as watching the hawks strikes a chord if you want to know whats still would know you cd a new series of attacks sound like tire rails if you just put your feet to analyze it gets a gauge for the part of the city if you speak to my left all alone whether they like it or not i got tablets of baseball with that we film and the first outbreak of it and it is still going on in this world open up you know and opened up new details that we opened up to start to question. The little baseball. Stars are. The stock to watch. The biggest world body. All the colors of the killer all these. Subtle opposed to look. Like. The best. You. Please dont let me fall ill. Luck. Eleven. Eleven. I have never seen you. I have never said. I have never said. There is a. Good. Basis. It to me disrespect. But but there is it you. Think that it is. So says to me that in that you would be live the. Lives. I. Live in today can live. With a little luck still i was a willing to date. I was a little like jail cylin. Lists. In our food bank all flobots democrat and were all sort of hip hop and we play music for the last ten years plus together and you know for us music is about engaging the crowd but its also about kind of engaging people with the message so what brought you guys to get there. Loving the x. Men loving g. I. Joe lots of nerdy things we were too nerdy boys who were placed in a highly gifted and talented program he was in the fifth grade i was in the fourth grade. And its a memory that i remember very clearly i saw him down the hall with i was with my father and everybody told him my dads army and i see that boy the blue hat hes going to be my friend and here we are how many years later the twenty is when youre years later we thought were going to be making comic books professionally. But the world that we crafted in comic books and becoming the worlds that we started crafting and exploring with our wraps and we fell in love with hip hop together and we both came from families that were pretty social justice activist oriented so and hip hop especially like when we were falling in love with it also was just very much telling the story of the people who were experiencing like people from the south bronx experiencing problems like poverty and using their art to experience power and so for us that lined up with our families values lined up with our values and then also brought in that creative aspect of being able to talk about the world and also imagine a world that is better than that and so for us thats always been like where weve been so you mix in some x. Men. Or you say digable planets. Hieroglyphics and. You know if some side final last and. You get flow as always and they might be giants wed be remiss but i was going to. Be a reminds me a lot of them i. Think this competition accomplished a lot of other. With the new album what do you want people to take away from so i mean weve always tried to make music that helps people feel empowered and feel like theyre part of a story thats just larger than whatever theyre doing with this album we want people really to to hear their own voice. As part of a collective voice and to see that theres power in raising your voice with others and its also that we want people to think more three dimensionally about what it means to get engaged because a lot of people are if you can listen to one song and just feel like i want to put my fist in the air i want to hold a sign but really stepping into the streets and being part of a social Movement Means youre going to go through a lot of different emotional experiences youre going to go through the feeling of triumph youre going to go through feelings of heartbreak feelings of failure and so this album is really supposed to be a way to say to people like look if youre part of this these efforts to make the world a better place youre going to be on a journey and youre not alone whatever emotion youre feeling right now youre not alone thats part of the journey and dont leave but find ways to be compassionate for yourself compassion for people around you and to stay in the struggle so leslie what do you see going on in the in the political and social climate today what what do you see are the biggest the biggest most important issues is kind of fascinating weve been working on the album but we started almost three years ago. And we decided that were just really going to write. To our stories and our experience and just a wooden with what johnny five are saying. As activists we had experienced the roller coaster of like were going to topple patriarchy tomorrow and the next day it doesnt happen and everybody starts stabbing each other in the back and everybody starts blaming each other for all the different failures and that movement i was going to conquer the world yesterday now you have a group of enemies who used to be allies the next and weve seen that happen so many different times so we decided to as activists like why are people talking about the rest of the story. And so we are writing specifically to that we are writing to our heritage is our dynamic. And we we called it no enemies because we found that we were just so as a country even at that time were working on it so beleaguered with the us versus them and so then when the album was done. Shortly there after trump was elected and we were releasing singles and now it was this one of things that happened with people like oh that song pray is about trump as well. Not specific no not specific. Yeah but it is the type of thing where you see that with every new movement theres waves of people so occupy happens and waves of people step into the streets and then likewise matter happens in waves of people step into the streets and then you know the Climate Change that people keep step new people keep entering and you know its from selection suddenly you have tons of new people that say look old now is the time i need to get active and theres always dynamics that happen when a new group of people step into something and theres been people there many many years before but its important to find ways not to make enemies of those people but to be inviting and to be welcoming and to to use it to kind of refresh and renew and strengthen the movement. So its great to see the activists in the streets and homes signs but what happens after the streets where you know where does the activism go you know after after the protest. Yeah i mean i think there is theres a difference between sort of. Generating power and then wielding that power and i think. For people who are brand new often there can be some conflict confusion and dissonance and you think well if we start to engage in the political process then we must be selling out or we must be somehow if all you have is a stylistic sort of activism like wait we went from the streets and now were you know sitting down across from someone who could actually make this policy a reality but were inside outside we must be traitors really selling out but really if you care about the transformation that you want to see happen you cant be focused on us then you cant be focused on well you know were now sitting down across from a Police Officer were sitting down across from you know an elected official or somebody who works for an oil company that that cant if you if you say that thats off limits then youre not actually
