more than three thousand of their family members of the leave iraq in a massive convoy that some estimate to have been six to seven kilometers long using fifty trucks thirteen buses and more than one hundred of the a law mixed islamic states own vehicles and despite promises to the contrary this caravan of subgroups including foreign born ice aspires you know the kind with that higher probability to return to their homelands and potentially commit acts of terrorism. so let's dive into the murky waters of tomorrow's history of isis today as we start watching the hawks. get the. real deal with. the bottom. like you that i got. with. this.

week. well the watching the harks i am i robot her dad happens a lot less so here we are looking at the situation once again from a very different perspective that what we've seen the idea was of course you know we're going over there to fight isis and we've been told over and over that we're supposed to be afraid of the idea of them coming back and that's a fact i mean that's real intelligence that they've used that the idea of these people are going to come back and commit atrocities and. then why are we just letting. people go it's an interesting it seems like that i mean the b.b.c. basically posed the question you know when you when you look at this where ok the idea was we let you know a couple of the local isis fighters go because the city is pretty much done they've lost the fight. but if they hold on to the city fighters on the for. you know we're

going to lose potentially more civilians maybe we give them a way out that way we could retake the city in the walsall life but the b.b.c.'s euro has this kind of pact unleashed a greater threat to the outside world one that is and they will build them to them to come spread far and wide outside of syria because after being trained because yeah i mean originally in the park there was like you know that's the big fear is the foreign fighters you know these guys were fighting for isis from different countries from around the world around the region are they going to then go home and continue their peaceful neighborhoods there is a big fear which we have been told is a legitimate fear that we shall be worried about and know what this story says is something a little to fred and there's kind of two sides to this on the one side publicly the s.c.f. says that only a few dozen fighters were able to leave and not all of them were locals as is just said but colonel dillon did maintain he continues to maintain that only four

foreign fighters left and that those four are in s.t.'s custody the problem is drivers who were there are say are giving a very different story and what they're saying is that there was a very large number of foreigners in there for france turkey azerbaijan pakistan yemen saudi china tunisia and egypt to name a few so you have the people on the ground saying that's not what happened. and you have and it's very specific to be like from you know it's not really words all of them were speaking a couple different language where you know they were sitting there saying that there was something amiss about this and the wasn't televised there's no media there because the kurdish let us. actually cleared rock of media before it happened so no media was there to watch those no media was there to see them going out we have conflicting stories on the ground this is why you have media in place. i mean

look u.s. defense secretary james mattis you know the one the great around mad dog man and that's a bad ass he stated back in may blah blah blah that like he stated back in may our intention is that the foreign fighters do not survive the fight to return home to north africa to europe to america to asia to africa we're not going to allow them to do so. but clearly you did write. clearly you did and there's colonel ryan bill and you mention he's a spokesperson spokesperson for operation air result which is the great u.s. coalition over there at all fighting isis in syria. he actually says we didn't want anyone believe it comes down to syria because they're the ones fighting and dying they get to make the decisions regarding operations where you could have bloody over the years when they want to have somebody told this that they get to decide what to do in their own country that's a little wear that is a little weird i just got to be a first of the u.s.

military as they were to let other people decide what happens in their own kind of you're sure you didn't let any foreign fighters out but it's not your decision anyway and that's that's kind of the that's covering your backside yeah that's what a lot of this is that i and i think that the b.b.c. is right that there's a dangerous you know i think this could come back to haunt us as has isis to begin with because we can't forget that isis was born out of the invasion of iraq it's our frankenstein we've created it and the hole is causing all these problems and i'm sure the last of your. systems of oppression aren't always as easy to recognize it as one might think take the oil and gas industrial complex as poisoning children and getting paid to do it a new report from the n.w. slepian the clean air taskforce found that more than one million african-americans about two percent of the african-american population live within half a mile of a natural gas facility another six point seven million african-americans live in the ninety one u.s. counties with oil refineries the oil and gas operations in primarily white

communities and communities of color are vastly different according to the report while operations look a lot different in low income communities of color where drilling sites are often adjacent to residential areas because of this proximity the air quality in many of these neighborhoods violates air quality standards for cancer. due to years of corporations ignoring environmental regulations while trying to fight them with was obvious on capitol hill there's a little being done to mitigate the damage and what damage has been done well african-american children at twice the rate of white children and with lower rates of health insurance coverage the impact of air pollution on poor communities of color is exacerbated by this but this isn't just an issue for the african-american community or other communities of color it's about all of us and to we fight together against the political and the literal poison that's being forced to or that we're all being forced to ingest we're all on the road to ruin. who may have

just broken our. because it's one of those things were it's like you kind of get the idea you know it's there in the back of your head because you always see them building the biggest most like polluting ugliest factories as always in the poorest neighborhoods and i want to learn about that is that those are also the people that are employed out those factories are by and large are least you hope ok if you're going to build this you know massive people in smokestack building being that the least are giving people in the neighborhood a place to work but it's killing them that's killing them and everybody around them that really breaks my heart you know and you brought up asthma you know it's important to remember as it was huge the toll cost of dealing with asthma their cost of asthma some twenty two thousand and seven was fifty six billion dollars with the billion. the clean air taskforce the eighty found the ozone smog from the natural gas industry pollution is associate with

seven hundred fifty thousand summertime asthma attacks in children and five hundred thousand missed school days among adults this pollution results in two thousand asthma related emergency room visits and six hundred hospital admissions and one point five million who reduced their activity is totally dammit. you only want to look at the world black and white here's a little mercenary it's like a mercenary profits. this is killing you pollution does make a healthy work force to come like pull your lever and keep you one percenters moving and making money that somebody's going to pull the lever but if you're poisoning them. in your drive to reduce. force that bothers me because it's so obvious i mean we like i said it's systematic oppression is easy to see when you see in the police it's easy to see here but when you point it out and you know i'll probably get in trouble because it's all part of the russian conspiracy about you and says you know every time you try to healthcare just you know there was no

racism before the russians could get a little i just found this out. so when you look at numbers like african-americans are are exposed to thirty eight to polluted air thirty eight percent more than caucasian americans are seventy five percent more likely to live in communities that are next to industrial facilities. and these are things that can affect them due to noise odor traffic and chemical emissions and historically speaking these communities were targeted baltimore and those places were targeted because you figure in and a primarily african-american community or a community of color they don't have a lot of political capital pushback and the other is you know they also have cheap labor that could go on for generations if you wanted to but it really comes down to this they don't have the power to fight the e.p.a. isn't down there caring about their well they're busy with lobbyists up on the moon

to be able to lobby to get this stuff not in the know and the worst part about all of this as horrified as you are about the idea that there's all of these poor communities communities of color being poisoned like this just for a job keep in mind we're pushing in dust more industrialization back into the united states and less e.p.a. controls in fact their entire task force just. take away environmental regulations that by the way nobody is bothering to keep anybody in check for nobody checking to see if anybody's doing it in the first place but here's what's scary is that the report only looked at air quality now if you put a closer look at water at the ground and soil contamination it's months worse and i wanted to read a quick quote by. environmental and climate. justice chair of the indiana chapter of the n.w.c. p. and she was recently talked about tackling this same as show. in her in indiana and also in the chicago what she said was they fear their air they're on able to play

in the soil we want to have the community be out on the lawn and the pastor of first baptist church reminded me that when they tried to do their community there was also ongoing trouble have literally many talked about flint yesterday and your sayings quickly in places like wisconsin you know there's a i think it's a great thing for people to remember because it's very easy it's very easy to forgive not just in the justice system but in the business side too and the sexism all that comes along with it so definitely people in the story as we go to break or watchers don't get to let us know what you think of the topics to cover them facebook and twitter see our poll shows at r t v dot com coming up we present the second part of our interview with journalist about fabian the great college tuition swindle and learn about the wall or some covers and articles engine jungles splats that are a good state to watch the whole. world

feel. to you that. there will. be. yes to almost all the good. news.

for presuming that africa is going to be a powerhouse i think it's going to be the twenty first century winter in the crypto world because they're already already exchanging and dealing on. light years ahead of america europe india africa baby think about moving to africa to be a part of the revolution in africa. years ago i traveled across the united states exploring america's deadly love affair with the gun bad guy trying to get to one of my family members he would have . been hurting my my baby since my book was published in the year two thousand more than half a million americans have been killed by falling into the u.s. i thought i did yes this is a middle school we go through drills and we put ourselves in real scenarios it was

interesting to see who actually got hit. by decided to return to the subject to track down each gun owner who i'd met and photographed those years ago i don't know this but we are not. there is a long list of storied american institutions that as they'd have you believe are more are always in need of more money the pentagon for example to never have too many billions for their they destroy program or fighter jet remodelling fiasco the billionaires club is another with absurdly wealthy americans constantly on one t.v. network or another complaining about the taxes they have to pay and how nobody cares about their feelings and front and center among them u.s. academia the same die every tower of our society that promises to educate our

struggling generations boosted into the modern workforce even while the moaning the republican tax reform plan coming up for a vote in congress that would eliminate certain tax breaks benefiting wealthy colleges the recent paradise papers reveal how many schools have hidden their booming in an exotic wolf of wall street tax havens like the cayman islands and cyprus to avoid any taxes at all all this while a bubble looms ever closer on the horizon as college administrators and their enablers and government finance students in a debt trap of massive proportions rolling stone contributor and author matt so you joined us earlier to discuss how the relationship between students and the education system has grown just this talks. you know one of the things that jumped out at me to look at your work on this was also just how much money universities are kind of stockpiling but at the same time every year it's what we need we need to raise tuition we need to raise tuition beyond some it was the university of scranton you know in the court case came up saying that six hundred some odd

million dollars they're sitting on why is there no pressure to get a obviously we understand a political pressure of like hey politicians you know free higher education minister making those moves why is there no pressure being put on universities why are they kind of the baby face for lack of a better term for a lot of poor wrestling term. you know but it really. it worked well i think you know universities. creating away huge sums of money and you mentioned the university of wisconsin offhandedly mentioning oh yeah we have we have this sort of stockpile of six hundred million dollars. that we have as a result of socially collecting access to asian in recent years and it's unrelated to they are down it and when they were pressed about that in the state hearings what this actually said was well we're not the only school that's doing this and

they produced evidence that other typically that the scam goes something like this they will tell public officials that the amount of money that we have as a share. of our spending is decreasing. or they'll make up some kind of statistic like that that one actually reflect their real economic reality but will sound like they're running out of money to listen very very closely when you hear about what university systems are talking about how they're running out of cash cash they're probably not telling the truth about yeah wow wow and so really i mean the only option i think going for i mean what do you feel is the only option or is it obviously we want you know public funding for higher education we can work that out most other countries in freethinking educated societies have that were the exception we need that obviously but what are some of the other things what other advice could you give to those you know eighteen nineteen year olds who are looking at like i got to go to college. also i don't

want to spend my life paying off a huge bill. yeah i think long and hard before you sign in and out lying about you know any kind of financial aid a great even a small amount of money can turn into a massive amount of money in no time at all i mean i talked to a schoolteacher in maine. who told a story about wanting to commit suicide and actually making a decision the decision to do so. shortly after he fell behind that is student loans that he didn't have a whole lot of student debt you only had. i think was twenty five thousand dollars in debt to begin with i talked to another woman who borrowed eight thousand dollars a veteran in the ninety's and she's now well past one hundred thousand dollars in debt she's past the security age they attach for social security payments or they

or they work for a period of time so she declared bankruptcy so your books and your your living exposed your that's equivalent to sestak to a mortgage they're going to pay off because yes absolutely when you do something every other civilized society. it is just political propaganda for vatican. after years of quiet but steadily building support the united states military under president donald trump has taken an all in approach to aiding saudi arabia's war on yemen under the pretext on buying out local isis affiliates the saudi led a lot leaving thousands of civilians dead and millions displaced in other words just into a smaller much less prosperous country but even the ports on this week's vote on a congressional resolution acknowledging u.s. involvement in yemen mission passed by the health of representatives publicly acknowledged the pentagon has been sharing information and refueling warplanes on saudi arabia to attack who do you rebels fight only al kind on and other what's

a not included in the resolution is a call for an end to the u.s. of support and the yemen civil war the resolution says quote today congress has not been active specific legislation authorizing the use of military force against parties participating in the yemeni civil war that are not otherwise subject to what the two thousand one off the right. action for use of military force or the two thousand and three a u n as in iraq democratic representative wrote qana said quote what our military is not authorized to do is assist the saudi arabian regime in fighting the who tease and many cases the saudis have aligned with al qaeda to fight the who tease undermining our very counterterrorism operations because i have been calling on congress to exercise more oversight over u.s. military operations overseas specifically and yemen however that has been met with opposition by republicans as a result of the yemen civil war the united nations estimates at least ten thousand

civilians have been killed since two thousand and fifteen on top of that half of a million people have contracted colorado to a lack of services of those who contract of the illness two thousand have died although people like qana did not see a stop to the u.s. his role in the human civil war during this past resolution about vote is seen as a victory for some men show signs of growing frustration within both parties which could ultimately bring about change and washington actually banks r.t. . you know it strikes me that it's a really sad state of us affairs when trying to get us to help slaughter innocent people overseas is like pulling teeth and yeah but i mean really you can't even do that one thing i wanted to do those was trying to say later hey guess what we're giving refueling in two groups who like al qaeda is on the same side of him

saudi arabia is doing all those horrible things over there are bombing airport runways and keeping aid from reaching the country but i think maybe if we could just acknowledge that we're doing it if we just like just like can we just you could even get them to stop and i don't really odd though there's something sort of ideologically intellectually not right about it and our involvement one the idea that it's a small group of rebels going up against this you know broil. and a number of government seems odd that we would be in there trying to quell that literally how we got or that's how we have freedom where we're standing up to a monarchy we're saying we don't want to we don't want these things coming in and telling us what to do in our lives and instead we think that somehow well we'll help the monarchy take down those dirty rebels trying to keep that i'm just saying there is a laser and so actual bromberg those and i believe what i wrote all comes as your verbal rebels are aligned with our mortal enemies iran you forget that somehow

affects us citizens here at home. i was yeah i'm so waiting for the you know around who was following the deal the nuclear deal iran who our government and people in our government told lies about a number of lives so that for years the narrative that we heard here was completely different than what the actual facts were so maybe it's time that we all kind of learn our history a little bit more and as the the gentleman said why are we helping the we're hurting our own counterterrorism members were meant a situation. that puts american lives at stake that puts everyone in the regions was at stake all because. while we make some money off of gas sales pretty much everything is really what it all comes down to write it all comes down to the military industrial complex. always hungry money machine.

so many many many years ago two hundred sixty million to be exact and article was covered in ferns mawson and now extinct plants known as the glossy a terrace the robust prehistoric forests was most likely the result of siberian volcanic eruptions causing greenhouse gases to warm the air and well the polar forest was known to exist as far back as nine hundred ten it wasn't until recently when a team of researchers from the university of wisconsin milwaukee travelled to the south pole and found the fossil fragments of thirteen trees that discovery meant they were able to pinpoint their age which proved this forest was around before the dinosaurs even more amazing but where the plant is is how they survived it turns out antarctic plants have the ability to convert from a summer season to winter within a matter of a single month controlling their growing seasons normally it takes three or four months for a normal tree to do that so the moscow times of perpetual light and darkness at the pole almost impossible so as one of the studies leads you to be

a walkie geologist eric gold branson put it quote there isn't anything. like that today these trees could turn their growing cycles on and off like a light switch over ninety percent of the earth's species including these forests disappear and that mass extinction following maybe now their secrets to survival could help humans per hour of life as well as a person or the geological history hopes so all right that is our show for you today remember everyone in this world we are definitely not told that we are loved and ups would tell you all i love you i am tyrrel winter up and on top of the wall and keep on watching those hawks will there be a great day get everybody. it's
