You. Owe. To ok. 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. To her own you know. 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 be.

In a teacher a little thats what would happen in a stroke the judge would not continue the hearing because the proof prisoner was not well enough. Allowed in their voices more than 100 doctors from around the world are still rallying against britains handling of the a sound case saying hes being subjected to psychological torture in jail theyre also calling on the Australian Government to intervene to protect its citizens of this is now the 4th open letter from medical professionals the director general of Reporters Without Borders told us this latest chapter is much more than an extradition hearing that distressful the noble this is not just the story of one individual it is about the ability of journalists to publish information relating to state secrets through a sound has been targeted because of his contributions to journalism in 2010 years his work is being targeted because he revealed so much specifically on u. S. Military operations in iraq and afghanistan i never saw him g. s forces on trial in the us if he is extradited this will pose a major threat to all journalism has been nothing short of a dramatic decade for Julian Assange tracing back to those revelations of wrongdoing by the u. S. Military in iraq and afghanistan today on r. T. Were telling his story. I 1st heard about wiki leaks. From the helicopter footage in iraq. And i think that they are the people. In the u. S. Military who have never forgiven him for it this guy is a traitor and treasonous and he has broken every law the United States illegally shoots out of the u. S. Really historic to have.

Sneering feces on the walls. Smile. We have giuliani in solitary confinement in the prison for terrorists a way that helps a life person the person. I dont want to see him die any less prison.

Cities across germany you have held vigils the 9 victims of wednesday night shootings in the west of the country several 1000 gathered in how to where the tragedy took place mourners placed candles and held up photos of the victims as politicians also get speeches wednesday evenings attack on 2 should balance in the town is being treated as a terror attack but the authorities saying that the shooter had xenophobic motives. In the wake of the shootings the governing Christian Democratic Union was quick to point the finger at anti migrant rivals accusing the alternative for Germany Party of having extremist tendencies. Even in theater i mention its fine if you look at their texas profile it seems like he had racist xenophobia as well as far right motives and this strengthens mean my belief therefore the c. D. U. Should always be clear not only for the c. D. U. But for all parties in germany that they can be no corporation with a party which tolerates far right extremists and lets call a spade a spade not since im on its ranks so we are resolved to have no cooperation with the f. D. A. In any shape or form its important to keep the spine was. Tentative for germany its more or less the parliamentary wing of a right Wing Movement even if the right wing terrorists if they want to or not they are the ones who give the key. To terrorists and every collaboration by other parties with the what. But give this party more credibility in the eyes of the followers so we have a level in the public debate that is more of a child than a rational political debate and when i hear yesterday night about that shooting i instinctively knew that our opponents would blame us for being responsible for it it is completely ridiculous and i can only ask everyone to read that money festa of this crazy terrorist and then compare it to what were doing and then its all views that its nonsense its just fake news and of course we fight against it fake news. You know without the from moscow still had this friday the past comes back to bite britain as the least of the returning some long forth over ancient artifacts and its all down to breakfast apparently as we reported less than 90 seconds. Seemed wrong. Wrong just dont call. Me. To say proud this day become educated and engagement equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart. She still looks for common ground. Bob dylan once said money doesnt talk it screams former republican new york city mayor Michael Bloomberg is proving this just the sheer force of lobbyist spending has made him a serious contender to capture the democratic nomination are we experiencing peak trunked arrangement syndrome. Or. Maybe even 40 years ago or simply to. See it coming. Welcome back a tug of war between the u. K. And greece over classical sculpture is seen often fail for decades to secure the return of relics it says was stolen however it could be about to change all that with the reportedly backing greeces claim to the socalled good models in brussels could now push britain to return them the collection was originally part of the parthenon in the greek capital but the company on display in the British Museum in london greece claims they were stolen by lord elegant in the 19th century well the u. K. Insists it acquired them legally and it isnt budging. The u. Case position on the parthenon sculptures remains unchanged they are the legal responsibility of the British Museum that is not up for discussion as part of our trade negotiations cultural historian wendy earle hand political and social commentator mo and discuss the links between democracy and the importance of history. You cant go around the world nicking stuff and then just saying were going to keep hold of it because its really valuable and we want people to come and see it it just as awash now adays in a i hate saying it but in a relatively woke enlightened Society People are asking for their stuff back and its very hard to construct a case when we go around the world stealing stuff and dont go back i think history itself is a very complicated place to go history is complex we do very well in britain Education System and so our western media missed telling and misstating it we we dont half pick and choose what and how we tell history i mean we can say that the item and this is the worst of it and stewardship of the tyrants in me we should be trying to we should be trying to have a discussion about this rather than you trying to interrupt me and the point i know its a case not only do i know he believes there is a history what we can do with these mothers now is continue to learn about history continue to understand their histories and continue to develop our knowledge by returning them back willy nilly to places that demand them were not caring for the objects themselves were not looking at these as. Pieces of our heritage of Global Heritage every single argument you make for keeping them away can be used for returning them im sure the greek people you know the home of democracy some great thinkers you might consider will be able to figure out how to display this to the public we shouldnt be just using them as as kind of political footballs all taking them all to taking taking the moral high ground taking the moral high ground we live in a world that is constantly changing and we need to i think recognise that you know that these are bigger than the moment this moment in history my concern is that by not coming under the auspices of the European Court of justice were not going to be held accountable how on earth is the British Government ever going to be held accountable for the sins that it commits as a state at home and overseas if we dont have a higher court to answer. So i think britain is is perfectly poised to be able to do exactly what it wants and i think in terms of brechts it that discussion about it is a discussion about democracy its about sovereignty theres no point in kind of really hashing old historical arguments when we are when i think were in a completely new place where people in britain are thinking about how do we have a future where were free of a bureaucracy outside of person that were not that is not accountable to us and how can we can tie or define our lives to run a losing argument. Well ok thats your opinion. And you can report accusing the u. S. Military of failing to keep track of weapons worth hundreds of millions of dollars in syria and suggest the weapons were left vulnerable to loss or theft which has in turn skyrocketed operational costs and also had of a major consequences to more on that now from kind of morgan. 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 resolve 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 to 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 in hebron resolve on 1st that sustainment command personnel left thousands of Council Offices 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 that up in the hands of isis terrorists but that theres 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
