a get rich scheme though no one can deny its market value was soaring and becoming an attractive alternative to the current global banking system is because revolutionizing the world. the dissolution of the israeli state is jewish i think in my opinion thought of that citizen self as it is a jewish state for the jewish. citizens. this is how it goes is that i like so usually. when it is they are talking about the economy but when. they want only to compare with work.

the mark to alter international a suspicious device has been found in. the german cities christmas market with police immediately evacuating the area. well police in the city of port stomach urgently investigating whether a suspicious device that they were called to in the afternoon on friday was a viable explosive device that had been placed or certainly to live it to an address nearby to the christmas market in the center of the city now this all started around two thirty local time in which this package was delivered to the pharmacy which is very close to the central square where that christmas market is located the bomb disposal department determined that it was a cylindrical object containing cables batteries and nails but it said that no

ignition device was delivered currently police are investigating whether this could have been used as an air as a viable explosive device whether it could have been used to target the people that were gathering about christmas market just in october of this year so just a month ago we we saw a nineteen year old syrian national being arrested and charged with what's being described as planning to commit a serious explosive terrorist event but this also isn't the first time that germany has been the target of real terrorist attacks.

now with all the news the former u.s. national security advisor michael flynn has pleaded guilty to the lying to the f.b.i. over his links to the then russian ambassador to the u.s. so good luck with the latest the totals here is the moment we have michael flynn pleading guilty to charges of making false statements to federal agents now this is a guilty plea and it's been entered in court at this point he's facing a sentence of between zero and six months in jail as well as a possible fine of up to nine thousand five hundred dollars now of course the mainstream media is in an uproar there's talk about the rush investigation all

kinds of things are being made in the press this is being treated as a very big story on a very earth shaking event but it's quite interesting let's recall how michael flynn stepped down as national security adviser let's remember donald trump's explanation to thing is he didn't know or vice president. properly and then he said he didn't remember so either way it was a very satisfactory to me when he was serving in the trumpet ministration mr flynn misled vice president pence and now it appears that he's pled guilty to misleading federal agents now at this point you know the white house has come forward and said look this charge doesn't implicate anyone other than michael flynn he himself it looks like he's pleading guilty to misleading federal agents now it's been well over a year since the u.s. presidential election investigations have been going on for months and yet there

seems to be no sign of this vast plot involving donald trump and rush this vast conspiracy that mainstream media seems to be so determined to find hasn't really come into fruition we have had several indictments at this point individuals who misled federal officials made false statements that are now facing criminal charges but as of yet the collusion story isn't really materializing. no human is on the brink of a new deadly epidemic in the past three months twenty two people have died of diphtheria in the water nation almost two hundred cases have been registered at the world health organization is calling for millions of vaccine those whose to be sent to the country human is already suffering the world's worst cholera epidemic in the saudi roqueted of bombing campaign and aid groups are struggling to the liver vital supplies the red cross has been buying emergency fuel to power water pumps providing drinking water a coordinator for the group spoke to aunty. it was read

the u.s. government has scrapped a plan to outlaw outdated cluster bombs the weapons were due to be banned from twenty nineteen the pentagon released a statement explaining the move. the department will retain cluster munitions currently in active inventories until the cop abilities they provide are replaced

with enhanced and more reliable munitions cluster munitions contain small bomb and metal parts that scattered over a wide area they're designed by to target military personnel and armored vehicles that have been used during conflicts in syria iraq and yemen have a cluster bombs have been banned by one hundred eight countries due to the high rate of civilian deaths let's take a closer look at why they're so controversial and what it cost the bomb goes off the bombers have dispersed over an area as large as a football field around twenty percent of those explosives failed to detonate and remain on the ground years after a conflict is over they can still be triggered accidentally often by children political analyst paul can we can martin told us the u.s. has no legitimate reason to continue using such weapons. i don't see millet legitimacy as far as in the moral sense i'm sure they're legitimate in the pentagon's eyes as far as if you were a war maker or a war profiteer but the in the eyes of most of the community the world community

that is there is certainly not legitimate. they are a very good at. spreading a bomb would surround killing people on the ground attacking targets but unfortunately they also have the side effect of killing lots of civilians not only on the first attack when they are first spread out but they end up especially some of these weapons were which has about a twenty percent failure rate so there's twenty percent of these little bombs that stay on the ground. that unfortunately children and other people end up picking up they are unexploded and they could be left there for years it's clear that countries who have large militaries want to have as many options as possible so they're less likely to want to to ban them and specially the major powers those are the ones that tend to be less likely to ban weapons systems and that includes russia china the u.s.
