12:29 pm
understandable but i don't know why our social welfare system should be for should be for anyone who have taxpayers and sex was have to pay for everything but if i can just drop in terms of that's that is that but most of them are refugees i mean social migration as existed for many years many decades but it reached a peak due to the chaos in the middle east the syrian war the libyan civil war etc is it perhaps unfair to say that most of these people are moderates from war zones most people really does the real figures are like social migrants and called of them selves refugees so it's it's actually the wrong road but you know africa has its own its own refugee convention so actually no one from africa really war or real situation of bad treatment in a country of africa no one would have to leave africa because countries where you can have a live in peace and security so no one would have to leave africa there's only
12:30 pm
convention nobody nobody mentions that and i think if you build camps where people can go and rest in the cities stayed there peacefully and education for children and. opportunities for for employment and so on and then go back to the countries to rebuild the country to be the most human way ok. goodness thanks for joining us here in our team for your mother. well let's stop all. the program it's the hawks to stay with us. greetings and salutations all right hard watchers. i want you to prepare yourselves
12:31 pm
for i'm about to tell you i want you to find that comfy chair turn up that volume and break out your favorite snack a mint chocolate chip ice cream man myself because you've got to prepare yourselves because i'm about to drop a few bombs bombs on the mainstream narrative that i can assure you had c.n.n. and others gnashing their teeth and white knuckling when these little stories came blasting over the news wire let's start with our good friends at c.n.n. do you remember a few weeks back when saudi arabia the united arab emirates and others decided to execute a political and economic blockade against the country of qatar and c.n.n. excitedly ran with this tell our viewers what you're learning well wolf u.s. investigators believe that russian hackers were behind a cyber breach against state news agency the hackers planted a false news report friendly to iran and critical of president donald trump that is now being used by saudi arabia and other u.s. allies to as
12:32 pm
a reason to carry out an economic and political black blockade of qana but sadly if c.n.n. had expressed just an ohms of journalistic restraint instead of once again falling for the old unnamed u.s. intelligence sources blame all things on russia you know that line they might have avoided awkward feeling of perpetrating fake news after it was revealed that this week by qatar's attorney general in actuality evidence shows cyber attack on state run news agency is linked to states that cut ties with qatar. or wolf blitzer egg is is so hard to wash out of that beer it's all up on the face that way and speaking of egg on your face it appears that every warhawk intelligence talk and cable news desk jockey who bashed chelsea manning by trotting out the military industrial complex approved line that her leaks put u.s. interests and foreign policy at. risks and both at risk in both iraq and
12:33 pm
afghanistan well they were either wrong or flat out lying to us obtained by buzz feed a one secret june two thousand and eleven defense department report concludes that the disclosures were largely in significant and did not cause any real harm to u.s. interests. so it looks like fact once again beats fiction especially when you're watching the hawks. it looks like. it's really. like you know i got.
12:34 pm
rolled over on watching the hawks i am so i roll but i'm top of the wall as. well well. i go around this get it appears all across the board mainstream media you know and then you've got the war explode start with qatar big big story out of qatar you know every ball we heard was russia and they hacked qatar planted fake news and that is the reason one of the main reasons that saudi arabia and all these others like suddenly blockaded apparently all b.s. at the end of the day the saddest thing that i would say the saddest part across the board is the subject you don't really see c.n.n. and others are attracting the story they're just trying to base it on the rug and not publicize the fact that ok we were we misspoke which is the noble thing to do say ok we were misinformed it happens on your face but if you just want to sweep it under the rug and say like oh let's just go past this and you know still make people believe russia's responsible for hacking qatar well that's the problem they have bigger things to talk about like the fact. apparently just to jake tapper
12:35 pm
clear research claims it all figured out that there was a war in the us you know where he was weapons given to saudi arabia was being used the us was going to shock and open in yemen they're in we haven't they were the murder using them to murder people i'm not sure how that's like and that's not conjecture that's not propaganda that's fact us weapons have been used to kill people in the very year or maybe next i mean the whole point is that you're talking about saudi arabia's war against yemen obviously the show we talked about the fact that there's a you know allegedly it's a play it was a proxy war between saudi arabia iran frankly it's more of a power grab by saudi arabia than anything showing its muscle and here we are now with qatar is now in the sights of saudi arabia and its allies within the u.a.e. bahrain and egypt because why because qatar is close to iran so could we see an escalation in qatar as we saw in the last year or both those is those stories like this this kind of rushed through you know secret source in the u.s.
12:36 pm
government told us rule rush just put it out does being the mouthpiece for u.s. intelligence and u.s. government you know anonymous sources that c.n.n. is kind of taken the mantle of over the last few months or years maybe. does that affect credibility then when this things like this happen that you know a lot about as we keep pushing this narrative every time that you should never question the official story that why would you question the official story and one of them is that they have reported that the f.b.i. quote the f.b.i. recently sent a team of investigators to doha to help the qatari government investigate the alleged hacking incident intelligence gathered by u.s. security agents indicates that russian hackers were behind the intrusion first report about the government now as you said there is a completely different story now telling telling you know the media the attorney general saying we have evidence to show that i phones originating from the country is laying siege to us have been used in this hacking so here's the problem you jumped up and took a source that you have no. acting for that information and now it's shown to be
12:37 pm
wrong so are you going to trust that source do you question that source and where's the story going hey we were wrong just like they were wrong about you know crowd strike in the ukraine hacking and this no i mean it's one of those little trust let's jump ahead to chelsea manning you had every look at every war hawk every you know kind of apologist for the you know intelligence state in the military state here in the u.s. all saying her leaks did damage you know our credibility our foreign policy put lives in danger does this report the buzz feed jason leopold of no go through for that says that she didn't does that vindicate her actions. frankly the fact that she was ultimately released from prison early already in a sense gives credence to what she did and the fact is this is a report does vindicate her actions because it says that. about the seven hundred thousand secret files that she leaked to wiki leaks they had no shortage of significance on the u.s. war efforts and twenty federal agencies all agree on this so you know those pretty
12:38 pm
those pretty big it's. all eyes last night won three suburban counties in georgia where according to mainstream media at least voters had a chance to redo the twenty six same election stop from care and score a big win in the twenty eight hundred midterms a year ahead of schedule but sixty million dollars and two hundred sixty thousand votes later the brand in chief is still president and the republicans got a confidence push as well as a collective sigh of relief so what went wrong well for one thing voters in georgia looking at the headlines of the past few months wouldn't be seen much about health care or jobs or really anything other than the symbolic significance of the election by all accounts on the ground this media blitz did not help voters can only process so many t.v. ads and so many unwanted phone calls before tuning it all out not only that but republican super pacs made a strong support from celebrities running millions of dollars of ads attacking the centrist democrat as beholden to holly. and not one of us so
12:39 pm
a star studded entourage unseen amounts of campaign money a mainstream media echo chamber and the result that leaves voters disenchanted and exhausted is this the new normal for democratic campaigns as a strong question and you know it's interesting me about that is that the entire election in georgia to me with all that it just reeked that we didn't learn anything from the hillary clinton the bottle now that we didn't learn that like you know the more money you spend the more celebrity guests you tried out in all of that and the more you know robo calls and everything at the end of the day like like you same time it was all about you know what the boat man rather than the issues that affected the people there right that's what it's about from civil outsiders looking in that sort of looked like it doesn't look like they were in the thing in the special you talking about the south i mean people are proud obviously within you know within their state and they don't like being told by people from hollywood that a you need to vote this way because it's
12:40 pm
a protest against the president it's a protest against trump well they're seeing all this money coming in from california from people who don't live in georgia to tell them well we want to shoot movies in atlanta but otherwise you don't live there so anywhere who are you to tell us how to vote that money i think is interesting because between both campaigns and super pac spending is both sides are not dissolve the republicans to flooding money and everything without money on the final price tag of this race lead somewhere between sixty million dollars that's a monstrous number that's almost as about two hundred thirty dollars per boe per boe was spent this raised by both sides you talk about waste of money imagine what sixty million could have done for georgia itself right if you're going to be the one thing that could win you only with the money and there was the numbers political data back at the end of march means people are saying all of this money is coming from california and no but you look at the numbers in total amounts now it was you know. people from georgia technically gave slightly more at least at the
12:41 pm
end of march in georgia fifteen hundred seventy eight people donated small amounts but today dollars to get six hundred thousand kept people from california the donators also campaign five thousand eight hundred twenty two people and their political activists lee estimated that almost twenty five over twenty five hundred were from the bay area alone when you live in a state like georgia and you have you know people tweeting about how they're giving money and people from san francisco and that. what does a person in san francisco understand about what's going on in the state of the nation a little you know it's simply a protest vote against. it just won't work in most states maybe in a couple states that might work but the fact is that you say sixty million dollars this congress has two years. and i realize how scary it is for two years of office to spend sixty million dollars it's amazing and the war and that's where the problem with the house represent every two years they go to run again and that
12:42 pm
means they're going to spend most of their time campaigning and then you've got to raise probably equal to that again just to get a real workout right into the most expensive race i want to go on the celebrity thing i want you guys both having been you know sort of so we're looking at this thing with celebs and they said you know we're looking at a world where sarah silverman called on the american military to overthrow the president joker not to have rosie o'donnell as others have attacked the president's son saying he was at one point a future serial killer and an animal mutilator. and stephen colbert kind of got a free pass on a pretty homophobic remark it's just i don't care if you think about that and that don't make gay jokes it's not funny period i don't really care resist like that that's one thing but do you think the sort of no holds barred resistance by what are looked at by must the country as these are westcote. before leaves do you think that i know it had an effect on us on some from people i've talked to do you think it has this effect of them hurting people who are going out of celebrities who are
12:43 pm
actually doing the work and not oh i think i think very quickly i'll just say this i think i think every celebrity has a right to voice their opinion of by politics i don't think anyone should ever observe their citizen of the say that if they want to use their celebrity to make light of something or do. something that's wonderful i don't i don't totally agree that however campaigns were lying on celebrity endorsements that's an entirely different thing because i think yes to a certain point it feels like oprah's just sold me a product rather be. you know someone who's going to look after me that's right fifty parries taking advantage of the situation with a political pop. all right as we go to break watchers don't forget to let us know what you think about topics we've covered of facebook and twitter see our poll shows r t v dot com coming up sean stow it will be maybe i'm speaker of the national somebody to help shine a light on one of history's largely forgotten genocide you definitely want to stay to watch.
12:44 pm
the market is expanding hundred billion and growing growing by leaps and bounds as we've been talking about for years now this a lot going on here and it mutating and morphing and things are happening the buzz word of the week is one of the mob as i see initial coin op for a. little bit would you. say. prayers it wouldn't really say yes or no in the. middle. east at
12:45 pm
least. for to ask you what was the first genocide of the twentieth century some might say the jewish holocaust others might think of the armenian genocide but was actually in the german colony of namibia where the second rice soup. to revolt by the herero a number of people before attempting a systematic extermination of them one hundred thousand herrera nama were killed in the process and those that weren't found themselves this possessed and in concentration camps germany apologize for the genocide in two thousand and four but has never paid reparations which are now being sought by descendants of the pharaoh a number of victims in new york courts under the alien torch that you learn more about the case i interviewed and even speaker the national police. asking him why this lawsuit is finally being brought now one hundred years after the genocide.
12:46 pm
these days it is taking place events discussions between the government and the media and the government many have moved on. and there i got in men between the two governments to deal with these issues. and this is after the gentleman said actually accepted that what ok it in nineteen or four hundred. eight could be ten am i suggesting it so there is an acceptance in winning as in that part of the german government too busy county come to terms with this issue that's where we are now certainly so the german government knowledge is that there was a genocide this was under the second rife obviously there was still a century of german empire existed but the germans would have argued that they had
12:47 pm
been paying in a sense a form of operation by giving aid to namibia since independence in one nine hundred ninety so why is that not a valid point to say that they've been giving millions and hundreds of thousands of dollars of aid and that should count as reparation. well i think i think we indeed we acknowledge that the i meet the engineman in doing a very cardio relationship. and about the equation the genocide it can never be equated with. development eight. it is an issue that is fundamental need to be addressed. separately and right now the two governments the two countries today have a plan don't dedicate its special envoys who are overseeing this important process
12:48 pm
in the case and i mean we are deeply saddened by dr. prominent place in that it too with a vast experience in the history of our country and we are absolutely confident that the government of germany is aware of the effect that. they cannot really hide behind. development aid given to namibia the issue of genocide is too important to be reduced to to the level of being created with development eight. i think so so interesting because you don't get that history and we don't learn and not about the continent of africa and what went on there especially the colonization. and that's the whole point is that we sort of lump of coal colonial era politics as sort of being what let's call it that's and it was bad and we know it killed millions of africans who knows how many between slavery and between the overall you know the other wars and the genocide that took
12:49 pm
place in congo and places like this and call it concentration camps the british south africa actually before. so it's really it sort of gets lumped into one batch and then you know what merkel is basically been saying is well we apologize but we think that we're going to just keep giving you development aid and consider that done whereas the these people are saying no we actually want you to give reparations as you did to the jews and the other point that i think you made was a look these are two separate things you can give us aid as a country just to help. john i'm curious did you ask him about what you know i think what actually occurred in this genocide . exactly so the next clip will get into obviously the actual genocide itself as you mentioned why we all learned about in the west i wanted to get his opinion on it and also to understand a bit of how this genocide predicts what the germans did to the jews obviously there after the nazi regime so stick around this is the next clip. of what happened
12:50 pm
people. displaced. losing homes. where hangs the concentration camps basically what's happening i mean the. experimentation. with experimenting in the media doing that but you couldn't. be the media. to germany for expending meant for x. experimenting of pepper says all that form. of the x. what happened here so now maybe adding that i was a testing ground during that period it and and i so you said i had to leave this was there says about genocide that ok in the one in history it has taken all these years but we can only say that finally at least the generals have responded we are
12:51 pm
now basically talking about the same issue that question and genocide and the question of what to do important things on the table fest and apologies have to be i get it up on and be stated loud and clear in that i meet in parliament secondly to agree on the this size and scale of of compensation or or impartation that i get i'm not going to say much other than to say that that form part of the net negotiations so. obviously i think the as you know. will we have never been treated in the same way they do each of the teams of dennis and where we're treated but it's at least we're saying. here us this issue will never go away. for the generation to generation we'll continue to raise the
12:52 pm
issue and it is fun. to do with head on and come to some sort of conclusion. heavy heavy with the most important part about studying history most important part of why history needs to be upfront why we need to look back and reflect and make reparations are good because when he said you know what what was done there you know what was tested done on these people and the horrors that was not upon them then led directly into the holocaust that took place in the thirty's and forty's it was a dry run we know it works here let's do this again and i think the thing that is if one the problem that germany has is that you can't say one one time that we committed genocide is ok and you know it wasn't the nancy regime but it was still part of the german regime you have to take responsibility for that because the ancestors after all it's a part of their history they can't they can't just get over it yeah you can tell he's being diplomatic obviously i'm not going into the the real feeling of you know
12:53 pm
i was trying to get this ok as an african well you know what do you feel about the fact that we don't accept your history we don't read about it we don't acknowledge your history you know you're not important enough to put into our textbooks i mean that's really the feeling i think you get when as a student of african history it's just like it's it's really plotted out so you know the final question that i put in was to really what the status of the reparations suit because obviously there have been governments talk of the german government but will this supersede and this is what had to say. well. the case that has taken place in new york. by. the. communities. their communities. and communities have brought that case. and i take. the negotiations here because. does. that the government and i mean the government of germany i basically sitting at the
12:54 pm
table discussing this that issue is not brought about by the government on an m.e.p. of but rather they are sector community eyes as and i tend to draw the attention of the international community to the applied for the people and those who have that it has suffered during. the. did it he said to him and you know four and you know eight so that is it no matter that we do not have. power over what the united states may do but i think what is important is the fact that the german authorities have this date. we are concentrating on that because they see a winning days and be peddling. and that is i think what we should be concentrating on we are not this is a city dismissing their quality in the united states we simply let that play
12:55 pm
a complimentary lol in terms of how the issue of genocide. where you talk to him do you feel that you know good from him do you feel like very very will eventually get better reparations apology and those reparations from the city apologies but he acknowledged but it hasn't been sort of that is like a formal government policy apology where has he said he wants done in in the parliament essentially i mean there's different ways of doing it obviously is one thing to acknowledge and say we're sorry and i think actually formally do it and stop it is a state policy so what's confusing about the situation is that the new york ok so that they can obviously sue as you know as indigenous peoples in united states where we have states had nothing to do with this particular genocide but still there have been these people who are able to sue here and against the german government so it's really up to the courts within the us to see how that goes but
12:56 pm
meanwhile the name of the being government as a whole is actually not jumping the bag and saying hey i want thirty billion dollars from the german government for reparations and so actually some of the some of the defense in there saying well wait a minute you're jumping and are bandwagon because it's like where the indigenous peoples that are suing in the u.s. government are trying to say you want to have a bit to get a bailout essentially you know to get support so it's a very quirky situation that's why. one hand you have the individual suit then you have the governments too are talking trying to figure out how to move this forward and merkel basically saying look we'll continue with our aid they were giving to your country but then the aid isn't honestly going to the people and their descendants there's something really important and we've seen that happen at georgetown when there was an understanding that there was acts of slavery and that slaves helped build it and they made a point of facing that and i think that's one thing you have to do is you have to face the horrors of the past and as a country or as a people try to make up for those with the people that were burned i mean that's how we heal all these ones we heal slavery we feel genocide by talking about it and
12:57 pm
facing the category of the your character or your part in the whole you know the always this argument is made you know it's like oh well that was the past is ancient history why are they still bad if you realize that the consequence of the economic policies that were gendered created the conditions of the present and so you can't ignore these consequences of what war is that what slavery policies and claudio policies and all these things have created the conditions of the modern world and they crush economics maybe that's why having this morning is because for you know half a century or more people can see more of this it will grow to learn more about the genocide and then to the quest for reparations the full interview with president karzai will be available on. cybersecurity is the future now not just because some scary countries reading your e-mails but because online harassment especially for women has become quite frankly unbearable and with social media companies just clueless to deal with the problem girls are taking
12:58 pm
matters into their own hands girl scouts that is the girl scouts of america will be offering eight teen new cyber security just beginning this fall the idea came from the scouts themselves says girl scouts c.e.o. sylvia activate oh who stated young girls wanted to know how to make sure they didn't get bullied online older girls wanted to know how you can prevent cyber attacks. we think still with the dark industry estimated to be over eighty per cent male the programs will help to encourage and prepare young women to take on the future the girl scouts now selling cookies and coding. but are a better person for the remember remember in this world we are not told enough i love you i. but it.
