All over you watching r. T. International this saturday morning. In moscow now top story this hour a lawsuit has been filed in the u. S. Against military contracts who allegedly paid protection money to the taliban in afghanistan. As more data. Ever since 911 the u. S. Government has been working to criminalize prosecute and sanction those who Fund Terrorism however theres a recent lawsuit that seems to hit pretty close to home now a new lawsuit alleges that some u. S. Companies operating in afghanistan contracting with the u. S. Military have been paying out large amounts of protection cash to the taliban now the lawsuit is filed on behalf of those who have lost relatives in afghanistan other family members and u. S. Soldiers and other u. S. Personnel killed in afghanistan alleging that these corporations paid out cash that contributed to their relatives deaths this is how the lawyer representing those family members explained the legal action. The antiterrorism complaint alleges that 8 launch multinational corporations most of which are american regularly paid protection payments to the taleban including conny network which was designed to boost the companys profits by redirects and finds way from the room business interests we believe plaintiffs brutal consequences and the scale of the payouts was quite staggering between 20 and 40 percent of all funds for Major Projects in afghanistan and up lining the pockets of insurgents now 2 of the firms that are named in the papers the da i global and Louis Berger Group they received roughly 1000000000. 00 in Development Aid between 20072009 now one of the Companies Named in the case says its very proud of the work that it did in afghanistan. A spokesman for blocking veach said hes completed follow the directions of u. S. Government agencies and was proud of his projects in afghanistan earlier this Month Congress released a report regarding the war in afghanistan in which u. S. Military officials revealed some hard truths about the us campaign what are we trying to do here we didnt have the foggiest notion of what we were undertaking there is a fundamental gap of funder standing in the front end over stated objectives and over reliance on the military and the lack of funds or standing of the resources necessary so this latest case adds to the overall picture of billions wasted and pointless loss of life in what has been the longest war that the United States has ever waged come up in that we have asked the Companies Named in the lawsuit and also the u. S. State department to comment on the story although so far we havent received a reply iraq war veterans as you can tell just though the case does highlight the deep roles in u. S. Policy in afghanistan. In order to make money for Contracting Companies they dont care they will they will bid the contract theyll take the contract and then on the ground once you get the money then you figure out how you go about it afghan war papers i think they they state things pretty clearly a number of one there was no mission we have not control the country at all so the taleban and alqaeda and whoever else is in their Islamic State which is actually a minority basically the finding and the money gets funneled down that way this is where the issue goes back to actually going back to the perpetrators of the war and the conflict and not just you can blame contractors for a lot of things for sure but theyre also they get these contracts and they they get to operate. Wiki leaks has released a 4th but you documents from you will deny zation for the prohibition of chemical weapons that cost further that in its report from the ledge chemical attack in the syrian city team a last year they were feel that the a. P. C. Debbie chose to ignore evidence that didnt fit to say narrative but it can see it as more in the story. The toxicologist pharmacologist than the bio analytical chemist walk into the u. P. C. W u b c w shows them a video of an alleged chemical attack and ask them what sort of symptoms they see could they tell what gas it was the specialist tool look at the video and agree on one and the rest is classified or was classified. It was agreed among all present that the key takeaway message from the meeting was that the symptoms observed were inconsistent with exposure to chlorine and no other obvious candidate chemical causing the symptoms could be identified another day another leak another embarrassment and another blow to the u. P. C. W. s credibility they knew they knew the rebel video was questionable didnt find any nerve agent any chlorine in quantities sufficient to indicate a chemical attack nothing but they wouldnt admit it we know of at least one person at the u. P. C. W. s very selective about what gets saved and what gets deleted please get this document out of documents registry archive and please remove all trace of its deliberate storage with documents registry archives that was from sebastian brar frances representative to the u. P. C. W in that email he demands the deletion of a Technical Report which concluded that the gas canisters most likely were dropped from the air by acids aircraft but placed at the scene obviously placed by someone staged. Theyve tried not just to exclude certain from asian but beriah completely expunged from their own all call it. That is not there is not a Scientific Method is it people dont just bury or delete and actually delete all traces of a report that is the smoking gun of a cover up and there we see the capture of the Police Source ation of the a. B. C. W whats really encouraging though is we have people within the organization all willing to try and get the truth that it is not enough time to run through everything that the u. P. C. W. Edited out every corner they cut every piece of evidence they twisted to make asaad look guilty and like excluding all but one of their investigators who went to syria for writing the report then leading contradictory witness testimony classifying and keeping secret victims toxicology reports bringing in american intelligence agents 10 electric chemists 2 dozen employees suspected professionalism fraud or even foul play according to leaked emails but the boss he stuck to his guns werent some of these. New. Discussion. I would like to read. Unprofessional. Reached by finding mission you know who disagrees with him the 1st director general of the u. P. C. W. Who is who signed an open letter calling when the organization to let people who theyve gagged speak out there every week this story gets bigger more scandalous which may not be the impression you get on t. V. Or in the big papers its all o. P. C. W. Defends its report and hits back at whistleblowers this is the new p. C. W it is no longer about 5 didnt the truth. Stablish ing what happened more were killed by a molecule now big switch molecule to show in which to hide now the u. P. C. W. Synthesisers chemical guilt literally out of thin air. War against the of reporting there we did ask the o. P. C. W. To confirm whether the revelations are indeed true although so far they havent responded. Now libyas internationally recognized government is officially requested military assistance from turkey is it attempts to stave off an offensive by the warlord aletha after the turkish president said that lawmakers will decide in early january whether to deploy troops to the water own country. We would go to a place where we are invited to go we would not go to a place we are not invited to go to at the moment since there is such an invitation. First thing we will hopefully do as soon as the random and resume you see is present literally below god willing on the 8th or 9th of january look at whichever we will pass the now column and we will be responding to the imitations of religion libby was plunged into chaos in the wake of the 27. 00 uprising and the subsequent killing of its then lead in the market death by u. S. Backed rebels the country is currently being fought over by 2 rival administrations the un backed government in the capital and the government based into 2 broke in the east renegade general the have to forces have been closing in on free play in recent months however both the United States and the arab league voice their opposition to a Turkish Military intervention. This interference will only prolong the confrontation and increase the suffering of the people of libya it will also hinder International Diplomatic efforts aimed at a peaceful settlement of the libyan crisis president donald j. Trump spoke with president. Egypt regarding would be ago we destroyed jacques did for an exploitation agreed that part is must take urgent steps to resolve the conflict before leiby and sluice control to foreign actors mark armand is these are a few of the Crisis Research institute he told us why he believes that it is poised to intervene militarily in the libyan conflict. Libya in some ways as a proxy conflict between these rivals for domination in the middle east but also turkey not only has problems with these allies to the west like egypt and saudis in the americas. In libya it also has problems with some of its nato allies greece and france in particular turkey in a sense is saying youve rejected us we can show that we can do role could to you so libya in some ways is a kind of sand pit conflict where all sorts of local reasons why after or in the tripoli government directly challenge for the capital government in east face it controls the oil and gas but if you want to buy it from the world market you have to pay the money into tripoli bank account but as long as the tripoli government controls the International Bank account of libya it may not control much territory but it does as it were control the cash but these outside forces will nominally allied to each other are also at each others throats struggling for influence over after all very oil and gas rich country. Now this christmas a group of young muslims in london made presents for children in hospital and from less well off families it is part of a drive to improve cultural links between communities as mine. 1st worst its a time of families coming together and people putting their feet up and relaxing if only for just a few days however it can also be a tough time of the year for many in the u. K. Both personally and financially and for that reason many people here are also trying to make an effort to help their fellow citizens in this festive period one such Initiative Also seeks to strengthen ties between culturally different communities we thought. Why should anyone in christmas especially children be deprived of this festive feeling so by providing them with the gifts we can try and. You know lessen their pain by drawing a big smile on their faces this initiative has been put together by the foundation to share most in the youth group based in north london its all about coming together with other like minded people and wrapping presents to be handed out to families in need as well as in local hospitals and to children in foster homes the organizers say its a part of their faith to reach out to others particularly those in need the campaign was called gifts will messenger highlighting the intimate relationship between islams mohammed and christianity jesus at the end of the day we hope that we can build bridges to become a positive i said to society in london. One local priest is enthused by the message of unity that this event sends and i think its just. Because of the muslims the time they respond to those with compassion and with mercy and for me thats an important issue that if those are the qualities of god then you try and replicate those qualities of god so to see this is just wonderful news in that there are some people for whom. Compassion mercy general beneficence all these things. Are important it is a time of rising tensions. In the world in hate crime on the rise its also important to show that those issues dont represent the whole picture easily r. T. London. A transgender physics teacher from the u. K. Could be kicked off a Union Committee for alleged transphobia to be hating faces a storm of criticism at the moment after wearing a top saying trans women are meant for her to respect her own gender less than the rest of us respect her gender pathetically confused person the sooner your idiocy and discriminatory behavior is closed down and your continued to be known platform the better what a clown. How do you as a trans flack on your profile and say such transfer of the phoenix get educated. For the t. Shirt back in july in the vent organized by the Campaign Group called fair play for women didnt go down too well there were some who complained to the general secretary of the committees she is part of they said that she was propagating hate speech against the Trans Community and she could now face disciplinary action and expulsion from her seat on the trades Union Congress congress Eligibility Committee is sticking to her view that trans people are biologically attached to the sex they are born as we spoke to trans advocate jordan evans who says that hate his views are too controversial for some in the community. I do agree with debbie on a number of things but we dont see eye to eye on everything in regards to this its why any activist does what they do is to send a message and in debbies case she wanted to send a message that trans women do often tend to have x. Y. Chromosomes myself included and it is a message that tends to be very controversial in trance or grounds to actually in my opinion a greater issue with cancell culture as a whole this is something that we need to have a conversation about not just as a community but as a collective demographic as a generation because there is no end to cancell culture right now there is no. Time for redemption no opportunity to actually. From what youve done you have done something wrong and now you must be punished if this goes through she is severely punished for saying what she has done i worry that it will become harder to have this type of conversation most of the time they tend to exists on social media circles and they have their own followings they lash out at people like debbie because they see her approach and they. React accordingly they dont resemble people you necessarily see on social media but there are definitely people who exist solely to keep us down.
