I. What exactly are the authorities actually saying about the attackers motives well antiterrorism prosecutors are currently handling this case and they still dont have enough information to pin down the the assailants motivations exactly but they did reveal that the assailant converted to islam 18 months prior to the attack now of course the Authorities Say that thats not an automatic sign of radicalization but theres other information they also revealed that he had a radical vision of islam and was also in communication with solid islamicists which of course is enough to keep terrorist motivations on the table in considering the situation but so far the police havent found any evidence as to anything pointing towards religious motives after they searched his house in the suburbs of paris youve been talking with some of the details a 45 i think you say.

Is to help members minimize the risk of crises we focus on job creation we focus on productivity we focus on stability stability actually will be my my my key focus is to build strong key qualities so people fly 30 rules except far too often when they stayed places its trust in the i.

Is a robin hood who got it all wrong and now gives to the rich and takes from the poor then the i. M. F. Is given a credit to our country is under certain conditions on the.

North koreas top Nuclear Negotiator has said that talks with the us have broken down just hours after they started in stockholm we are disappointed that the United States has not put anything on the negotiating table now the responsibility for the continuation of the talks lies with the us it was the 1st meeting between delegations from the 2 countries since donald trump and kim jong il and it met in the Demilitarized Zone between the 2 koreas in june head of saturdays talks u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei all had said that there was still a lot of work to be done it to build trust and improve relations contrary to north koreas statement though washington has claimed the latest discussions were not a failure and allowed it to come up with a number of Creative Ideas now in the run up to the meeting north korea said it had tested a submarine launched a Nuclear Capable missile the pentagon then fired its own Intercontinental Ballistic Missile in response political analyst david czech told us that he did not expect the latest discussions to be successful. Actually what the experts always expect that this political sanctions against the against. Its very reasonable it should demand to consume living that the world never attacked everybody. Definitely doesnt pose much to do to anyone in the region most korea all these the lifting of the sanctions on north america is not willing to the United States is not willing to do it even on the go sheet of this oil and so i dont. Understand the war except for the beyond avoid these meetings and negotiations take place because at this obvious ones that are now that they will end up. This way and if you look at the u. S. Negotiation community. Since so theyre all came to power of basically the only country of the world that never achieved anything it will be north korea or be china or russia or any other country that doesnt seem to that the u. S. Is really willing to make it a compromise if only partner or enemy. Billionaires or should not exist stand of all d the people nodding in agreement with that statement from u. S. President ial hopeful Bernie Sanders is mega rich facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg sanders also says that wealth inequality is out of control but despite that surprising admission from zuckerberg the worlds 5th richest person not all the super rich are on board and willing to give up their luxuries some are even suggesting that theyre part of an oppressed minority as arties kellam oppen comments. Billionaires pretty much rule the United States the president himself is a billionaire but apparently he is the most threatened and bullied man in the country he has turned american diplomacy into a cheap extortion racket lets be honest donald trump is a loser all his failed d businesses cares about exactly one person and that one person is named donald trump im sorry that youre a terrible president. Well perhaps but the bullying of donald trump has very little to do with him being a billionaire billionaires almost live in a parallel universe with elite parties private jets and Little Islands that they own but apparently some billionaires feel like they are persecuted minority its the ordinary people that are persecuting them led by a boogie man named Bernie Sanders. Billionaires billionaire billionaire billionaire billionaire act millionaires billionaires i am not a billionaire due to all that class hatred incited by Bernie Sanders the rich are forced to hide in fancy restaurants and the studio of the Fox News Channel is no longer safe for them to roam the streets with commoners lets go back to Bernie Sanders for a minute when we are having a standard here what the hell has he done its aspirational i didnt start with anything just penalize everyone thats done well now Steve Schwarzman the founder of blackstone says that the treatment of billionaires in the United States is starting to resemble the treatment of jews in nazi germany seriously he actually said this its the wall its like when hitler invaded poland in 1939 and hes not the only one its a rising trend if you go back to 1933 weve different woods this is what hitler was saying in germany you dont survive as a society if you encourage and thrive on and view it genesee the wealthy t. V. Preacher Kenneth Copeland has also reported suffering at the hands of the not so. Or a huge fire lines you cant manage that today right this dont feel old world right get in an air get in alone too with a bunch of being been so the gap between the rich and poor in america has reached its peak in half a century so do you think that billionaires are really an oppressed minority we decided to ask new yorkers what they think thats a joke right oppressed. Not at all welcome to approach minority were living in a world anyway i dont think they should be hated they didnt get that way well most people did a really successful got that way because they work their software have enough money so they can protect themselves dont believe in demonizing the successful i mean their majority of them has created a product or service ness or result of. The good work that theyve done this is their success so i dont demonize him for being successful now this notion that the rich are somehow mistreated by society is certainly not new the cold war novelist and philosopher i know rand wrote an entire book called Atlas Shrugged it was about how the rich of the world go on strike against the ungrateful rabble who levy taxes against them but average americans just dont buy the argument seems that when the ultra rich claim the world has been unfair to them they dont really know what fair means kaleb up and r.

S. Invasion and war that followed almost 2000000 people are internally displaced and 7000000. 00 are in need of humanitarian aid now the government says it would cost at least 90000000000. 00 to rebuild the countrys infrastructure Iraqi Kurdish journalist he told us that the public has been making the same demands for years. Unfortunately the u. S. Policy in iraq has been a failed on a failure after failure or really not knowing iraq well their demands are with most iraqis have been asking for for over the past 16 your sister 1003 and it doesnt seem to be any real practical response from the government they are still resorting to the Old Fashioned ways of either using violence with these protests or tried to talk to some of the leaders and the one thing very important about these protests is that they really do not have leaders chronic corruption the chronic problems that have been in the country since 2003 i have not been solved cutting the internet is not going to work imposing a curfew will not work live bullets what were. The impeachment inquiry into donald trump over his phone call with of the leader of ukraine has seen white house officials subpoenaed over the u. S.

S. At 1st sight you wouldnt take ukraine for a land of opportunity unless youre into peddling weapons the javelin system will help ukraine build its long term defense capacity to defend its sober instance oratorial integrity in order to meet its National Defense requirements now aint that just the American Dream selling weapons to a nation that can barely afford to keep itself warm. In the winter and not just any weapons the javelin by far the most expensive and its class more than 200000. 00 for the launcher and a rocket was uneasy though it took a concentrated push by arms manufacturers lobbyists and politicians to overturn a ban on Lethal Weapon sales to ukraine and this man this man was at the center of it the significance of this is that we lifted the bombing your arms did provide antitank weapons. And now were prepared to treat ukraine like any other normal country which is this just look at this face doesnt it radiate honesty and empathy but appearances can be deceptive kurt was naughty could had a little side gig going on that was all hush hush the side from representing trump in ukraine he also worked for. A huge and powerful lobbying group which surprise lobbies for a theatre the company that manufactures javelin missiles and will make millions by selling them to ukraine cut unfortunately resigned in september and aside from the whole potentially corrupt thing with b g r and greatly and he was also embroiled in the trump ukraine scandal speaking of which trump has recently put on hold almost 400000000. 00 in military aid to ukraine it lays out.
