city is no longer a person's main place of residence in recent years palestinians have also been stripped of their rights for attacking israelis and also as a punishment against relatives of suspected attackers. and we have a quick update on the cafe attack in kenya faso now officials claim to attackers have now been killed however they're all still some people remaining in the building seventeen people have been killed in a shooting which the government's called a terrorist attack at least three gunmen stormed a turkish restaurant in the capital ouagadougou at around nine pm on sunday soldiers were called to the scene and a shootout and lasting several hours followed officials in the west african nation of said one of the victims was a french citizen and another was turkish people the military has sealed off the city center now amid fears gunmen could still be at launch the incident has similarities to a massacre in johnie last year when islamic extremists killed thirty people at

a restaurant and a hotel in the city. check us out on facebook and youtube and of course our web site that's called movie watching the weekly here a little t. international where we see shape will be here at the top of the i was so do stay with us. here's what people have been saying about reject. the only show i go out of my way to was you know. really. better than. ever heard of.

the world. trade. center. state that the abuse related to contracts awarded to k.b.r. represents the most blatant and improper contract of abuse i have witnessed during the course of my professional career it's suspicious on how to go to move big contract because dick cheney before he became vice president was c.e.o. of halliburton he left. with twenty million dollars worth of stock options from nine eleven till two thousand and nine and those stock options quadrupled in price he made about a billion dollars off the war there's a great future. defending the woman he is no longer. being interviewed the american enterprise institute he's seen as you would be a disaster. who are we doing. oh number.

of units one for. his work for her nation hundreds of millions of dollars. to. u.s. military contractor k.b.r. is under legal fire today over real fires in iraq the firm is charged with causing illnesses from massive burn pits used to incinerate garbage there. the veterans who are now suing k.b.r. because of their they believe service connected health injuries say that k.b.r. short sighted didn't install center raters when they should have had burned all this hazardous waste when it was a guess the regulations to do so and as a result they're sick all the contracts that k.b.r.

and held. require them to comply with e.p.a. regulations the allegation is that k.b.r. rather than complying with the contract complying with these environment. rogel a sions disposing only of what should be disposed of using incinerators doing it the right way for reasons often related to profit margins was disposing of dangerous toxins in a way that directly impacted the health of soviet troops. seeing stuff that was nuclear biological and chemical products the said do not truck tires all types of styrofoam polystyrene batteries trucks quite a bit of stuff. that should have been segregated out it was mine it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out if you're k.b.r. employee and you're throwing. biological medical waste into the. into the burn pit tires and anything else. that is known to be

a toxin. then you're you're careless and you're you're putting people's health in jeopardy and that's exactly would a lot of these k.b.r. contractors were doing. is. working for k.b.r. and they have knowledge of. hazardous chemicals on the ground of course cancer. here and i'll. just put in my family and i had a prius that is necessary. i'm. very upset over that. very very upset. that they did that. the military exercise regular daily oversight and supervision

and periodically issued evaluation reports of k.b.r. performance not just on waste disposal but across all the many functions that k.b.r. performed in the war theaters so the military. he was aware of what k.b.r. was doing and if they thought that k.b.r. was doing those kind of things then they would have been in a position to make those practices you know change to halt very little government oversight on the of so you had the management personnel director you actually workforce were killing brown route personnel. i've seen time and time again take your claim that the reason why they didn't do what they were supposed to was they were allegedly being told to do something or working under the military supervision my experience has been and what i've seen in sworn testimony is that too often k.b.r. personnel were more or less directing the military about what was going to be done rather than the right way. when i noted the violations infractions and

improper actions on run rude supported him to management road towards and i was basically told shut up that they would make the decisions about the management decisions. the case or rick lambert and what k.b.r. tried to do with him when he tried to expose what was going on and reveal some of the misconduct really points to an attitude that i've seen before or k.b.r. is more concerned about keeping the truth down than fixing the problem. we know from the g.a.o. reports that have come out since you know wait two thousand and nine two thousand and ten that both the d.o.d. am k.b.r. were not operating these burn pits within their own regulations they were burning as are this materials all over iraq and afghanistan you know this not only from the veterans but through the g.a.o. reports the g.a.o.

also found that many of these bearcats were still operating as late as two thousand and thirteen and this is at least two years after. they were told. they would have been a lot better off using incinerators incinerators use the last. fuel i believe they're more energy efficient and they release less toxins and so that means that any military personnel soldiers and others that are in the area aren't going to be exposed to toxic chemicals toxic fumes. this was much cheaper of them to do to put high temperature cost. many veterans. believe that k.b.r. was merely cutting corners. to save money my understanding is they were given.

to do the incinerator and so it wasn't a budgetary issue this may have been a cheaper way to go this may have been an easier way to go but it certainly wasn't what was best for our soldiers so far in addition to the congressional inspector general investigations that have documented the misconduct there's been hundreds of decorations sworn statements by former military officers. how the operation. was exposing troops to the worst toxins known to man rather than disposing of these things like the. easy. easy. in a come to find out. i was for about six months was built on a chemical. manufacturing.

and then we went to build a base there was my understanding. with. samples of what was already in the. around are contaminated and they found that the most severe illnesses were coming from five different bases in iraq these bases used to be former chemical weapons facilities saddam hussein operated it was actually told to me by a former k.b.r. employee they knew the. meaning it was contaminated. flabbergasted. i want to talk about these claims that are being served by plaintiff's lawyers who effectively are saying we don't agree with the decisions that were made by the military there were we think there were safer ways as we said ten years later five years later we think there were safer ways of disposing of

waste and somebody should be accountable for not doing it the way that we think was safer. themselves and all this is about his. decisions about how to dispose of. waste. the problem with that argument that i've seen is that in most cases in fact across the board. making decisions often. from the military. and i know it i believe all these. years incinerators. offline if they were to found out. in i mean if they would have realized. what we did in the fog of war we got to fix this in they took action to fix it. that's good if they didn't. now it turns out there was

something else in the contract because all that wasn't good they had an indemnity for us so if they screw anything up they don't have to pay for the bill get stuck on the american taxpayer. and indemnification even for negligence unreasonable acts by your managers agents simple if they fell within the definition of what is covered even if they cause injury or death to third parties. that under the provisions of this clause that is correct even if they cause injury or death to civilian employees. under the provisions of the cause that's correct even if they cause injury or death to american soldiers. does not and does not carve out an exception for civilians our soldiers which means that means that if in fact the activities fall within the definition of a clause thing k.b.r. could could apply for reimbursement that's right even for data or injury to an

american soldier that is correct even for death or injury to a british servicemen. that's correct even death or injury to iraqi national or other world national working on a cave your project. that's correct they were going to get fully reimbursed for every single legal penny they spent as well as any damages found against him in probably one of the biggest bailouts of government contractor that's been documented so far. indemnification is is absolutely criminal if we have over one hundred thousand soldiers ill it just shows it's a good example of how much your government really cares about or soldiers are just pawns. they're angry they're frustrated they feel as though they gave. everything they had to the us government. they believe doubtless sam had their back

when they sent them over to iraq and afghanistan to fight the war they believe when they came back to be taken care of. the military the v. . or are supposed to take care of their veterans. and they're supposed to provide good health here is a good transition out of the military and the military and the v.a. has failed miserably on doing this and not only on the pit issue but you know a lot of mental health issues and everything else there are many people who are working with the v.a. who feel that that studies have either. belated have. biased in favor of. results that my air. that's having psychosomatic problems instead of physical problems.

with politicians. who put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or something i want. you to go right to the press this is what the four three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the. flesh it. seems wrong. to me that you get to see. this day become educated and in. equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

the office of public health conducts large studies of the health of american veterans however this study produce results that do not support the office of public health policy they don't believe. this applies to data regarding adverse health consequences of environmental exposures. in iraq and afghanistan and toxics exposures in the gulf war on the rare occasions when embarrassing study results are really data are manipulated to make them unintelligible so there seems to be an ongoing struggle between truth seekers and the government when it. sort of getting to the bottom of. your. health a fact that veterans are now experiencing.

terrible experience. or to get medical treatment. that they would have the best care and. it depends on who you get with the bureaucracy. for me has been a nightmare to deal with getting bills from the labs for a thousand two thousand dollars for blood work. bills call in the

lab the v.a. supposed to pay these bills and they don't and you're already sick with chemo. all these deals are coming at you nobody's paying them. i mean i mean right now we're quarter million dollars in debt from cancer. bankrupt. and the v.a. still denies my claim that it's not all this not from exposures. the politicians the congressional people that we saw to help us unfortunate dropped us like a hot potato since we made senator. so we have no resolution right now the v.a. still do minor cases we have attorneys for sure you know there are no contumacy urges were are you know i'm just hopeful you can make it till. the time i can make with the ten year golden rule the v.a. system itself means that about fourteen years or filmic it's no benefits that's why

after ten years i don't get the benefits that they deserve i think the v.a. should take more. be more responsible with these guys because they have already put their lives on the line for us why would we. not give them the proper medical attention that they need why give them an appointment three months out and then. send it you know prolong it even more to maybe eight months nine months a year and then even fighting for their benefits if they don't. then book person twelve months of them coming back and he doesn't get a diagnosis forget it they're screwed because they don't see it that it's service related service connected the burden of proof is on the veteran they have to be able to service connected it doesn't matter whether you have it or not or the condition can happen during the day you enter to the left that's the big

window that you have to fight. iraq afghanistan. war injury is our generation's agent orange. if you look at the historical precedents with agent orange for decades it was not acknowledged and then after decades it was studied and then finally soldiers were treated. so to. iraq afghanistan were longing for we can't wait that long poor the burn pits to recognize the pay's that the guys are in the females are dying from the it's a lot faster the illnesses are showing up in the sentence a lot sooner he put in his time he sacrificed. and gave everything that it was possible to get and. and more proud of that and we don't regret that and he doesn't regret that and we would serve

again our sons have enlisted so it's not the service that's a problem and then things happen in war and we understand that there's a cost and and we will carry with that because there are some things that are worth the cost but the other side of that is that at the end of it they take care of you and every single time there's a war we do this song and dance with the government where they say no no it wasn't us no it wasn't that it's just you it's you know i don't know what it was it's just the look and it's not every single time and when is it the last time when is it that they just say ok. this was it and you did your part. what does that time come where you're not fighting afterwards the fight should be

done i don't see no way at this because with the agent orange the vietnam veteran still so. offering still fighting to be recognized on top of that gulf war veterans fighting to be recognized now you're adding another million or so iraq and afghanistan veterans fighting to be recognized that's two generations at least of the men and women who are sick. and they have overwhelmed a v.a. system that was not prepared to handle that to compensate every. soldier marine airman and sailor that was on the ground that are complaining about their exposure illnesses from exposure from the burn pits we would bring would be literally soon to be broke and. they don't want to pay it so.

the way to the decades a lot of those soldiers will die in time. and they won't have to pay and. paul grow up and. get the middle finger. to be used to model is. delayed and i hope. the veterans that i speak to are both mad and they're be welder some of them are so sick that they don't know if they wake up in the morning and i'm not exaggerating every year is something new every year is something that's taken away from the following a flight that he has and that we have as a family. union. in that i would can just walk into a restaurant and stand down and he will have

a meal. because he says. they're just trying to. keep him sound busy on his home. comfortable for. the simple things that. we take for granted. that he doesn't have. our heart. what. what what what is that going to be lead what does that hold. like to think the future. but. optimistic. i think. because if i read about disease.

i mean maybe i get it. in my life. nothing open. right now it's too much take care of my husband take care of every other. woman's husband and. man's wife who served who did their duty because they believed in it because they believed that it was the right thing to do. that's all we're asking. there is absolutely a moral obligation to fix it when these veterans come and they're sick no matter what they're sick we have an obligation as the american public to take care of these men and women who sacrificed. for us. i

hope that. this will have. a jump. aggressively treating the soldiers at the v.a. and but i don't see this ending well at all. they all come as is going to be gloom and doom. we can't handle it i. can. hear everything i can for. you no wonder. you. ricky your fight is going to continue on and. we're going to. take what you have. and what you bought for. her to

the president of the united states. so that it helps other.

welcome to a lonely are already out. there for the rat. about

your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your last wrong turn. you're out caught up to us we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry i could so i write these last words and hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath . but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was a cave still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave

a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one might differ as i speak to you now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker. clashes broke out between protesters and police in the us city of seattle during rival conservative until you hate marches becomes a day off to violence and. tension. between north korea. deported i'm cold.
