12:29 am
this is breaking the set so last month in new york city a man and father of six eric garner was approached by a plain clothes and i pretty officer ended up paying the ultimate price after raising his arms another officer daniel panta leo put him in a choke hold while other cops helped to bring him to the ground the entire incident was caught on tape and the video can you can credibly hear garner who is three hundred fifty pounds and asthmatic saying i can't breathe after his death the medical examiner's office ruled that garners death was a homicide caused by the choke hold except the evidence of the video combined with the medical examiner's analysis seemed to have no impact on the largest union representing n.y.p.d. officers take a listen at the president of the patrolmen's benevolent association had to say earlier this week he was not a chokehold he was a big man that had to be brought to the ground to be placed on their rest by shorter police officers well there you have it folks it wasn't a chokehold at all i guess it was
12:30 am
a strangle grab meanwhile both the man who filmed the incident ramsey order and his wife had been arrested on gun and assault charges respectively and while the charges may be legitimate considering that the has had a record of at least twenty four previous arrest the timing of them definitely raises some eyebrows but no matter the criminal history of order that doesn't change the disturbing and undeniable images we all saw on that video and those of the n.y.p.d. takes full responsibility for this reprehensible act there will continue to be no justice for eric garner to break the. really it was a. very hard to take that leap. or how to act without her right there. in.
12:31 am
the lead. for the last three days a temporary ceasefire between israel and hamas has held up after a four week bombing campaign against the gaza strip by israeli defense forces called operation protect the bad wish the campaign has taken the lives of one thousand eight hundred sixty seven palestinians three israeli civilians and sixty four i.d.f. soldiers according to gaza and israeli officials at the time of this broadcast but beyond the devastating human toll much of the already weak infrastructure of gaza has been left in ruins but the u.n. sources as to made in that the destruction could be as much as five billion dollars
12:32 am
and will take decades to rebuild so i get a sense of what it's like on the ground i wanted to talk to someone in gaza so earlier i spoke with dr below or a physician at gaza city is all she the hospital i started by asking him to describe the destruction. of the city i mean does he see this only going to be just as jewish was going to. go we had one of those a bit thousand dollars to get it missed you know of to do good sure that all. they've not the stink is. caused by some. by. thousand homes that are destroyed but the hospital now in addition to other thousands that the body destroyed but then have to leave but would not be able to build one of your former university which was on
12:33 am
blood aerated and the other other before and after image of l. was a hospital talk about the amount of civilian targets that have been bombed just in the last month. if you want to talk at a number of missions for a major hospital. service now as a result of the damages we can total. more than seventy calls to a city a community college close to thousands only seventeen major solitude is each one of them used to employ. workers we're talking about. connecting cities together that i'm. not sure looking. through to the bulldozers of the israeli army. of course it's not forget that our agenda do supply you for the simple because there's a need. so the definition of
12:34 am
a human shield is the deliberate placement of noncombatants in or around combat targets to deter the enemy from attacking as well of literally shilled in combat and during attacks we've seen rockets being shot near civilian areas as well as plenty of info graphics from the i.d.f. showing the literal shielding of missiles with civilians but along have you seen any evidence backing up that claim. i don't want to say my butt but thinks he is like. a council of choice that i'm let's just say that as for about six months i think one can draw them i've seen some videos showing video. this is a problem with those videos talking about to our meat fighting even the militants that tried to the other regular men. adults thinking that they shall indeed we are now people underneath your patient and we are. too to protect ourselves from
12:35 am
out of prison or even armed resistance because a lot of the coding to us because they still want to be like a nation so when we now are like not to blame the problem with media is that we are to blame for both because there is a list size and for our own benefit we are names for our two thousand and twelve israeli significant casualties most of them soldier this is not right so we are examining our right to protect ourselves. we are all civilians. so we should not be blamed for. the videos that the press showed trust of all the stuff of the situation this all the isolated evidence isolated accidents number two we are not allowed to go on the opposite side of the border here in gaza but it was their desire but if they go to the other side of the border there is a god or there is this and so that's been events and have focused on being. shown
12:36 am
being show the internet on t.v. but the few photos that will lead to a show is late it shows in the show comedies coming to the is late and pasted on gaza and just a child and watch army ominous government buildings and schools and hospitals about . was massive. i've never really heard anything quite like it along saying you know two million people are committing self genocide and not being called out for such outrageous statements here you've been working of course i'm shifa hospital in gaza city i know that the hospitals are very limited only eleven beds and it's emergency room what's the status there right now how hard has it been to care for the influx of patients and victims the second market must be hit the market this one hundred and fifty injuries to the hospital in just fifteen minutes
12:37 am
or so patients with literally lying on think. the floor of the host to see or is it clearly those with some of them with their limbs lying down beside them some of them bleeding on the floor the doctors and nurses could not manage all of the injuries. in any one occasion when one guy was or is. his hardest working because we are short of stuff we have to be all we have to live and has not stopped working. the toll we had to the time. that expansion to a line. just sort of i think. also that it was dedicated to serving five hundred thousand people it's just a deceiving one of the. examples you can deal with one of the two injured is there to fifteen minutes but we cannot be able with. fifty injuries in fifteen minutes
12:38 am
and. especially the locals lives were lost that's especially with this opportunity i think. with a lot of. dr i can imagine the choices that had to be made with who you needed to help the most and seen so much death around you is extremely tragic and i mean we're just talking about the people who have been lost and dramatically injured. talk about post-traumatic stress disorder p.t.s.d. according to un relief and works agency after the two thousand and twelve war which held in comparison to the recent operation the rate of p.t.s.d. in children more than double and talk about the lasting effects that will be on children growing up in the wake of the stuff a station doing this month a few if you ask a few of the survey and the us people all of them have even heard an explosion be exposed so i think suppose seen some of that rather than get injured will try
12:39 am
and that one hundred percent will be operational gods subjected to such massive massively distributing experience that not just once they are they have been defeated a going through such experience every day for thirty days and you can imagine them all the psychological and physical stress that the whole nation had to go through i myself was not. the one. on. the lot of the longest that i have slipped it's just or being interrupted is a massive miss like nearby in my street not being interrupted by the faraway is. accustomed to it that's just myself and i feel about the children much and the children who was who had to witness the dead of parents living in a child smallville exists father told his mother i have to see your father or your mother. unable to protect themselves let alone the children in the room that said
12:40 am
that it has to have a lasting effect on the ballot and should seeing as i'm able to protect all of them so. just because this is a law that must have a lot of. that that's what i was going to show they. started going to see the effects later generation the children with a b. or they get a lot. and of course like you just mentioned the temporary ceasefire there's only a couple hours left at the time of this broadcast israel and hamas have not agreed to an extension what do you think we can expect to see if they don't agree to an extension and what would a sustainable cease fire look like. so full of. those conditions such as lifting the siege have to be of negotiation and those those should be considered on the humanitarian conditions not political or i would
12:41 am
understand the political conditions up to negotiation lifting this. idea being subject to the siege of. this topic not being. asked of two thousand people might be. a few hundred people with is it still appalling so. to the. people who believe that they have nothing to lose for the condition. of the life here was. the idea of going back to the same life only minus two thousand people of mine that was an injury that holds a hospital. to these and bind us more that a sort of folklore to be. flowing and the idea is unbearable to the people that. if that was the one man in gaza but not accept this idea the thing needs
12:42 am
to and thank you so much your hero please take care of yourself on the front line there dr mlodinow bore palestinian doctor in gaza city really appreciate what you're doing. x. thanks so much dr please stay safe. thank you very much so thanks for having me thank you. stick around to hear about the sixty ninth anniversary of the atomic bombs dropped over hiroshima and nagasaki. luck. legal. perfectly legal please.
12:43 am
but all told i'm a language of old but i will only react to situations i have read the reports so i'm like you know for instance the no i will leave them to the state department to comment on your latter point among them save lives if the security of a car is on the docket. of the jail no more weasel words when you have a direct question be prepared for a change when you have to run should be ready for a. printout of speech and down the freedoms of costs.
12:44 am
there's a media lead us so we need to be part of the scene potions to cure. your party there's a goal and question is that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all on politics only on our t.v. . they just want to keep building in saudi arabia qatar and iran to fund millions and millions of pounds worth of the building of mosques in this country where they have addresses where a car and we have a hundred thousand four to sixteen year old children who are being schooled in these mature which is encouraging complete non integration within the society. although enough nuclear warheads exist to destroy humanity many times over very few
12:45 am
people today are living under the threat of nuclear war it wasn't too long ago when that threat was a daily worry for millions of individuals this week marks the sixty ninth anniversary of the atomic bomb that decimated the japanese city of heroes. the bomb was dropped for an american twenty nine war plane then the enola gray gave scuse me and mark the first time in the history of the world that a nuclear weapon had ever been used against a civilian population the destruction from the blast was catastrophic between the shock waves and a wall of tremendous heat event claimed an estimated eighty thousand lives instantly leaving another seventy thousand to suffer from severe radiation and other injuries many of whom died in the months and years ahead you know only three days later a second atomic bomb was dropped on the city of nagasaki killing as many as eighty thousand japanese men women and children but as horrific as it is to think of this
12:46 am
mass slaughter somehow being justified the truman administration regarded the bombs as a necessary evil and valuable to the allied forces and in the second world war that debate sadly still goes on but the day after the nuclear dust settled a new era of warfare had begun and immediately sparked a movement to do away with nuclear weapons the regret was perhaps most evident. many physicists that either worked on creating the bomb or helped facilitate its use shortly before his death in the one nine hundred fifty four albert einstein the man who split the atom and formally advocated for nuclear weaponry was famously quoted as saying i made one great mistake in my life when i signed the letter to president roosevelt recommending that the atom bomb be made even following the very first successful detonation of a nuclear bomb on july is sixteen thousand nine hundred forty five there was fear and doubt among the many americans who on what in may become the minds before the
12:47 am
very first true weapon of mass destruction. during the one nine hundred sixty five interview dr j. robert oppenheimer the man regarded as the father of the atomic bomb remarked on the very first moments after the blast. i remembered a writer from the hindu scripture of the bard to read it to. vishnu. trying to persuade the prince but. he should do is to say. to impress him take her on for. service. you know what i mean because. just worlds. i suppose we all go away remember. one thing the words especially since humanity as learned nothing from the event of
12:48 am
its devastating consequences amazingly during the height of the cold war when the u.s. and russia were threatening each other and the stability and health of the planet and the threat of mutually assured destruction plagued everyone's minds the opportunity to ban ballistic missiles and do away with the nukes was well within reach but was ultimately squandered by president ronald reagan who rejected gorbachev offer because he was dead set on building a nuclear missile defense system in outer space but reagan star wars fantasy was just that and the results of that decision remain a dark cloud still today right now russia still has an estimated eight thousand nuclear warheads in the u.s. over seventy three hundred accorded the federation of american scientists and as the world moves from one chord war to resurrect another nuclear nonproliferation treaties have been drafted yet not ratified there are now nine nuclear armed nation
12:49 am
in the world. so while the uys government continues to delegate its foreign policy based on containing other states ability to develop nuclear power this week on the anniversary of her roshumba nagasaki we're reminded of the very obvious truth that america's the only country that's ever actually use them. the u.s. provides aid to dozens of countries around the world often in the form of communitarian assistance or weapons and other times whatever twisted form of democracy it sees fit to suit. it's agenda case in point recent revelations by the a.p. about the u.s. this fake twitter app and cuba. which was created to stir dissent among cuban air not users on the gambrel
12:50 am
a company called creative associates international and just this week the a.p. exposed yet another subversive program in the guise of humanitarian aid this time usa i do you work within the same on bravo company to recruit foreign nationals to send through the prevention programs on college campuses tell me break down the story i'm joined by eugene puryear organizer with the answer coalition thank you so much for coming on your genes both of you so much for having me i'm sure to have you on this is insane breakdown first what exactly what this program consisted of and how widespread it was so what this program consisted of and again run by creative associates was they were recruiting me as young college age people from around latin america and finding any number of you know very worthy endeavors whether it's hiv aids prevention and i just other forms of n.g.o.s style work and saying go to cuba and use this as your cover here's a thirty minute orientation about what you should do if they try to catch you essentially use it as a cover to get people to overthrow the government so another in
12:51 am
a very long line of you know really drag it back to nine hundred sixty of efforts by the u.s. government to overthrow the cuban regime but it was you know relatively widespread it wasn't huge it didn't have a significant. number of people but it certainly had a very significant reach across a wide range of different types of activities and when confronted about the program the state department official you know they acknowledge its existence of course you can't really deny it but they said no you know we acknowledge it but it had a dual purpose to quote enable support for cuban society while educating cubans on hiv prevention but a quarter of the a.p. report that was acquired from one of the members back to creative associates they only mention one within a six page report it was only to say that it was the perfect excuse for the treatment of the underlying theme. generate a network of volunteers for social transformation eugene read through the lines here yeah well i mean first of all it's an absolutely absurd premise i mean cuba has one of the most world renowned medical systems in the entire on the entire
12:52 am
planet so we're now they have twenty thousand doctors all around the world who go to countries that have no medical systems and serve and solve all sorts of problems they have one of the most advanced bio pharma sectors of any country in the entire world to develop all sorts of very interesting and very groundbreaking and pathbreaking drugs so in and of itself it's sort of a ridiculous thing that usa aidid to come in there and teach them how to deal with hiv aids right and considering the failure of the cia vaccination polio program and pakistan i mean we're talking about a program that caused actually a rise in the perfect disease and also there's polio vaccination workers getting gunned down because they found out that they were working with the cia total devastation there why do you think this administration hasn't learned about kind of using serious health issues as a front for covert intelligence actually is detrimental well i think it's not that they haven't learned that they don't care i mean obviously it has a detrimental effect all n.g.o.s who are doing this sort of thing have said over and over again that it has a detrimental effect but when you key point when the key goal of your government
12:53 am
which is of the u.s. government is not to solve problems heal the sick and perform other sort of miracles but to use all of your power possible to ensure that the united states is the most dominant country in the world over and above all countries you will use any and all methods and in cuba they've used any and all methods from invasions to assassinations they have a whole terrorist mafia right out of miami and so they're using n.g.o.s as they have also in the past and other countries so i think it's less a case of them not learning and more a case of just callous disregard right and i remember when i learned about this case i was really shocked that usa today was able to do this and operate kind of on a humanitarian front but then i realize that they've been doing this for quite a while your back in two thousand and thirteen even morale is actually out of the country and we're talking about i mean there are reports of everything from usaid be helping us why. palestinian elections it's a funny mass torture i mean even to my surprise to learn this agency is doing this now would it be fair to say that it's always acted as another arm of u.s. intelligence so i would say certainly i mean usa id the national endowment for
12:54 am
democracy all of these programs and departments that are allegedly doing these positive things have over the years over almost their entire existence had very clear and very consistent links to intelligence programs whether they're run independently or whether they're run secretly through the backdoor by the cia however it actually breaks down behind the scenes this is something that's not new and in fact in all regions of the world we see this over and over and over again that these so-called civil society so-called human rights organizations are really being used as a front in many different ways from the media to you know health prevention essentially is intelligence gathering and regime change institutions i mean this is not just intelligence gathering this is actually an attempt at regime change inside of cuba and in a way that even over time has proved completely ineffective for the u.s. government no matter what they've tried they're still you know bound how determined to overthrow the cuban regime and they'll do whatever they can they certainly are i want to play a clip of senator patrick leahy question in usa idea administrator dr rajiv shah about the program. if we can so you're. working.
12:55 am
with the cuban government in child survival programs so it could be done. my understanding of the. amendment is that we would not be precluded from engaging in those kinds of. amendment would make sure that. we are we wouldn't we wouldn't. i like this claim right there i mean do you think that's really what's preventing actual cooperation at this point well i certainly think that the homes burton act is part of the larger the larger embargo the larger blockade is absolutely critical to understanding this reality certainly the u.s. embargo the u.s. blockade of cuba which has cost them over hundreds of billions of dollars in the years it's been in place has done quite a bit quite a bit to impact the humanitarian situation as well as the economy of cuba and the fact that they will covertly do things that they won't openly do shows how
12:56 am
unbelievably byzantine this situation is eugene why why does the small island nation pose such a threat to the u.s. government are continuing to expel resources into the country to try to overthrow the government yes well i think that it poses the ultimate threat because what happened in cuba nine hundred fifty nine is they overthrew a brutal us back to her and they established a government that established universal health care the right to housing the right to a job all sorts of other very positive social and economic indicators inside of the country and that they weren't afraid to do what they wanted to do and for the united states to say to have sitting ninety miles away from florida oh here's this little tiny country with very few resources that's been able to do so many things for its people so people in the united states might start to we can't have that exactly like if they can have it why can't we have when we can barely get any sort of health care i mean you see what kind of boondoggle we have going on right now there's people living out on the streets affordable housing is a crisis in every single major city in the country and small cities too and so obviously cuba has committed the ultimate transgression which is to show there's
12:57 am
a different way to live there's a different way to organize yourself and you can meet human needs over a private profit and the united states government that's a crime i mean it really is true that there's something going on and they don't want to know you're going i wish that i can go there and find myself unfortunately . from doing so thank you so much you're doing prayer always amazing inside i'll be on answer coalition organizer in d.c. city council green party candidate everyone check it out your campaign is rock and thank you so much for coming on thank you i really appreciate it thanks so much thanks for watching you guys are follow me on twitter at abby martin drum am i want to break the set all over again. clean more zero casualties war this is the great fantasy of war mongering politicians. capturing people is this what you do if they're innocent
12:58 am
killing them easy we were served the right to kill any person anywhere any time. they couldn't do that in the sixty's but they come to tremendous amounts of money makes these things are very dangerous and politicians get a new kind of power via this technology sad is very tempting. dramas the truth be ignored to the. stories others to the fumes to notice. food since changing the world lights and the. full picture of the states is no longer enough for roads to close.
12:59 am
the book to. do you have a pond to me because. you haven't the whole. drama . secret laboratory. to build a new. found anything tunes mission
1:00 am
to teach me. this is why you should care only dot com. on a mission to surround the eastern ukraine city shells hit residential buildings a hospital and a school in. western wall and they could lose billions of dollars as moscow responds to sanctions with the food. saying it's taking its business elsewhere. and take action if these terrorist forces threaten our personnel or facilities anywhere in iraq and the u.s. president authorizes the use of strikes against jihadist militants that have occupied large areas of iraqi territory including the country's largest christian city.
