against dition if the. base they can get the money we need the citizens who know the troops the facts are really. worried oh durban's government sent look who sent. many stores lanny and. all. the fake news but we really let loose we will when. people in afghanistan have been giving their accounts of the latest u.s. military operations in the country it comes as a new report says there's been a record number of air strikes since twenty twelve in afghanistan. islamic state militant screen here the government then dropped off a leaflet to warn us so we fled our village then the americans were on board and destroyed these houses we demand the government help us. the three villages who

were killed did not belong to i saw all the taliban they were in their houses during the bombardment a man a woman and their son were killed in that incident. there were eleven of us in the vehicle only i survived the other ten people including my parents and cousin all killed why didn't they see the children and women while they were carrying out the bombing why did they say they're able to protect everything on the ground from the air and then when they observe people on the ground why do they target us. over the last year the united states dropped more than four thousand bombs in afghanistan it's reported that twice as many as strikes are carried out in the space of just a few months compared with the last two years combined robert naiman the director of the group just foreign policy says washington apparently has no strategy to end the longest war in u.s. history. there's no way to do this kind of barmy without producing civilian

casualties the main problem is the escalation the fact that the trouble ministration has no political diplomatic strategy to end the war just more violence it's been sixteen years the trauma administration has decided why did ministrations before and to continue kicking the can down the road the thing that needs to change nobody wants a mil us partition certainly not the president it's one of the last one before want to take responsibility for the past the implications of acknowledging that the taliban cannot be defeated militarily therefore there has to be a political diplomatic solution the stairs call is guaranteed to produce more on a serious civilian deaths accomplishing nothing. facebook has announced it will block all advertising promoting bitcoin or other

cryptocurrency products and services it says the move is part of a policy against what it calls deceptive marketers make out france's scientific looks into the ban. big news in the world of crypto facebook is banning all cryptocurrency ads explanation of the social networks not sure all of the companies behind them are operating in quote good faith so it's stepping in to save the day. we want people to continue to discover and learn about new products and services through facebook ads without fear of scams or deception there you go with the crypto boom comes the crypto rag down we've already seen some governments across the world seeking to ryan in the uncharted waters of the crypto market too from china to the u.k. pseudo financial innovations that have no relationship with the real economy should

not be supported i would caution people to look at what instance forms the price but it's not a commodity as well because the supply is fixed if you want to be prepared to lose all your money sure there are traps in the crypt or world take this nicely wrap website of the lithuanian based startup protium the company wanted to attract around six point five million worth of the theory and crypto currency to revolutionize agriculture sounds promising. sure enough the company disappeared without a trace soon after finishing its hard cap wiping its website clean and leaving just one vulgar war behind but it could have been much more like a whole crypto bank for example the first ever by the way the arise bank which had its assets frozen by the u.s. securities and exchange commission with more than six hundred million dollars in several crypto currencies including bitcoin unlike coin all because its owner had

previously been associated with crypto fraud and its new bank fabricated agreements with banks that did not exist. but then really how many i see zero is out there are scams and that facebook really need to go that far to limit all crypto a whole crypto currency movement is a big thing and it's kind of like a gold rush so there are going to be some scam artists who get in on the action and unfortunately there are a few but facebook is a billion dollar a month company they can put one person on this to sort them out it's not that hard there's not that many of them it should not be there their job to police such

things in my opinion they have to deal with us in world politics and there may be pressures on them to do these things that you can watch the full digest on our you tube this is. i mean. still to come the f.b.i. is taking on the white house over the possible release of a classified memo to find out why the agency could be against that really soft in this way. i want to show people of russia that there is the now their point of view that this is the goal of my complaint i know you can't win on the elections where only always we will there is no talking what would be if i would win i will never win on the elections laken because they know where all always because they know we.

just took the currency market itself is still on track to eclipse the global banking all the gobble. which is what we need what we want. it's a bank street killer that's the primary use of big. welcome back to the program the u.s. president looks set to release a classified memo which could potentially reveal f.b.i. wrongdoing and it has resulted in a public clash between the white house and the bureau the f.b.i.

says it's not had sufficient time to review the document after the u.s. intelligence committee voted to release it on monday the bureau added that it has grave concerns about its accuracy as well claiming facts have been removed from the controversial memo. meanwhile democratic representative adam schiff has called to immediately withdraw the document from the white house citing alleged material changes made to the memo by the author without approval he did not specify what changes had been made the memo was originally drafted by the chairman of the u.s. house intelligence committee his spokes person has revealed the changes included minor edits grammatical fixes and two edits requested by the f.b.i. and some by the democrats themselves this all comes after donald trump was caught on the hot mike confirming he will release the damning memo but it's really. hard work. it's

claimed the documents reveal the f.b.i. abuse of the foreign intelligence surveillance act particularly with regards to claims found in the infamous trump dossier if confirmed it could damage confidence not only in the bureau but also in the ongoing probe into trump's alleged russian links some republican house members who say they read the memo have called it shocking and worse than the watergate scandal however some democrats in congress say the calls to release the document are nothing more than another plot engineered by the kremlin after the hash tag released the memo spread on social media us politicians put pressure on platforms to find evidence of russian bots but nothing to indicate that was found and the mainstream media went even further suggesting the chairman who drafted the member could be a russian agent. isn't

possible that the republican chair of the house intel committee has been compromised by the russians there's a possibility i tried all the russian agents running the house intel committee on the republican side i hope that's not the case i mean this is behavior speak about that i mean i'm not the first person who's raised this he's behaving like someone who's been compromised an. investigative reporter that you're interested in stein's advocacy for better relations with russia any vote for stein is a vote that otherwise would have gone to hillary. donna brazil would seemingly buy into full scrushy fueled propaganda spread by both the prussians and her opponent candidates house. if those objections and i note the senator from kentucky on the floor i will say

before i read this if there's objection you are achieving the objectives of letting me put what the democrats want to answer that question is dead the nunez a russian agent with yes but they know that they'll be sort of laughed off the stage for getting into conspiracy theories i've never thought this is about russia collusion which isn't even illegal if it was i simply think this is about finding a way to stop a powerful force that they can't figure out how to stop democrats in our country this was invented by them it was politically weaponized through the f.b.i. and other levels of our federal government and it's the only way they figured out how to stop or break the tie the american people have to this president. and g.m. and now when this. war is escalating again as various countries under the saudi led coalition turn on the yemeni government and back a deadly separatist campaign the coalition was initially made up of nine african

the middle eastern countries backing the internationally recognized government of president hadi however violent clashes have broken out in the southern port city of aden a so-called southern separatists are now battling against the government i. was . like. who the rebels in the country launched a military campaign in twenty fifteen backing yemen's former president despite being one of the coalition partners the united arab emirates is now supporting the southern separatists fighting in aden who are demanding that the region return to

being south yemen which existed before nine hundred ninety riyadh has called on yemen to listen to the separatist demands and bring an end to the clashes however. a middle east analyst thinks this undermines the coalition's legitimacy in yemen. it's all about influence and power. and they have been engaged in a bit tense fierce competition they're both flying for influence in the region they are both essential and central partners in the so-called arab coalition to be restored. to me see that as their legitimate government but this incident will be a major blow it will be a severe blow to the legitimacy of the coalition the arab coalition and their fight against the who he is because now we can see the allies of the us turning about the supposedly digit timid government which is both and backed up by

the soviets and the us. around the need to now i'll be back at the top of the hour with more so to stay with us. kentucky. no coal mines left. jobs are gone all the minds of. these people the survivors of disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in

a million years i would see that and it's happening it's happened. but i hope to. put themselves on the line they did. it's a little reject. so when you want to be president or injury. or some want to be for us. it's a right to be for us this is what before us the three of them all can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of morality. question. thank you. thank.

british nation cares about what happened during the second world war anti semitism is not only a jewish problem and he semitism is a threat to our entire society so the fact that the british nation are investing in this initiative is of enormous significance and most of all to holocaust survivors because they are really deeply worried what's going to happen beyond their own lifetime we need to let them know that we're going to carry their torch for them we will guarantee that we will remember the holocaust and more importantly will remember the lessons of the holocaust and speaking of lessons important is the educational aspect of the memorial unlearning sent i think that's the essence of the end initiative because we are remembering the past for the sake of the present and the future is a tragic alex that so many years after the second world war have been genocides in

bosnia in cambodia in darfur in rwanda the world hasn't yet learnt to those lessons so we do need to educate and we will take advantage of virtual images of online learning this will be a hub it will be an educational center and it will act in tandem with imperial war museum and other outstanding centers through which we remember and memorialize the holocaust by thank you very much thank you. and i had three years' time the things go according to plan they'll take shape near the spot the holocaust memorial for the u.k. which will take its place among the great memorials to the holocaust around the world that this will be more than just a memorial will also be a alarming and reset center so that the next generation can lamb the lessons of the

appalling events of more than seventy years ago because one of the key aspects of the work of the holocaust a motive to mention of which i am a board member has been the gathering of testimony from survivors of for the holocaust our generation will be the last to can speak first time to these remarkable people one such man living quietly in north london as freddie nola i spoke to him earlier this week. thank you for allowing this interview you had a fascinating life documented in your book living with the enemy you started off very happily in vienna with your family where you were magician the boat that plays a cello in fact all the parents made sure that all three brothers we had to learn an instrument that were just by the piano my middle brother violin and naturally i had to play the cello because they wanted to have a three or and you became a quite well known young three all of the brother noland's. played

a charity functions it would be hard to happy friday night or you know we play it over with just the three of the brothers really paraded home after a show about this and it was very nice it was a very nice atmosphere your parables would realise that the storm clothes were galloping and and jewish legislation was starting to be passed on not just in germany but in austria too so you went to belgium before the war started i was the last one to relieve after my one brother went to america the other one doing left and i. my parents had some friends in belgium in brussels. and therefore the friends can i send the young his poise friend in all over to you were naturally the city about our means and him over and we'll take care of him but then of course the germans invaded belgium germans invaded belgium so freely when you

were in austria the invaded austria for you in belgium little waited belgium to gee i'm going to get the impression they were asked of you in particular when the germans invaded belgium i run away to france because i really ready naughty book sick chile about paris they moved who she is a half an acre. dances on the stage and general noti book standing all about the joy of young people of men and women in paris and powerless you join the resistance not as yet i was working on plus to guys like chile momart of where i contacted german soldiers on plus the god because there are so many germans or just there and we took them to brussels and to cover a race and they paid us

a commission for bringing the german soldiers into these northeast places and thats how we made the i made a very good living actually doing this year naturally and force papers a four hundred francs i bought my sims myself some for its people and i changed my name to all bad mates now born in i just love and so that worked for a while little identify who you really were dead tried to then you will discover i met a girl i fell in love is just clean was her name and. i told her that i was in the resistance. and but one day when the had fights between each other she went to the germans and told him that fred in order that it's all their mates there is not from our eyes i saw again but he's working for the resistance point out that the the cinemas were showing on to some

ethnic films on the atmosphere and powerless were for the and then the vishay government started to collaborate with the germans and the anti jewish policies and of course there you had your your fight with the your girlfriend you want exposed who asked who you really where you arrived in one hundred forty five in clearly a grievance camp and poland. and then taken. dollar concentration camp near north hosts north of laura and then of course the soviet troops liberated house for each and you were taken to better and better as we have a very very liberated by the british army but in many ways said by survivors and those who experienced these dreadful conditions the belsen was that the worst camp of all because no food was given to us and people just died like flies

into to graunt of their beds was full of dead people who died of hunger that i remember digging into the ground just to find some roots to eat. just anything to keep alive and it was just unbelievable and something that every never forget it and when you will in belsen how much information that you have about the hopes that the allied forces in this case the british forces would approaching the camp for liberation that you june or the joy of knowledge that they were coming or the just not know anything nobody knew anything concerning the one the somebody came to me and said look there see seem to be other troops at the entrance of vera of the camp and i went there and saw was the british army were liberated they have been belsen and right away. and

it was such a joy for us in the very first they were given some food anything to eat because this order date people and they got the german guards there to get them to take the dead bodies and dig graves and they had to bury the dead bodies in the ground what is the motivation that drives you to tell the story about the appalling conditions and belsen about the the privation about the people dying like flies you know what drives you to see what happened i do not want the world ever to forget what has happened in the second world war especially now we know six million. innocent jewish people murdered because they were jews and innocent people were murdered by the nazis and i don't want the world ever to

forget what has happened and this is the reason why still talk today into two children so that this will never ever to be forgotten if the human spirit determines to survive. and looks forward you think that's the key they think the why are you sitting here today absolutely and never give up. this is my optimism a.b.c. will be all right i will get overheated and this is a chilly i'm sure this is why i am keeping it alive and this is right i'm very happy man now at ninety six very happy with my wife and very happy with my family is one the ford family thank you so much for being a little bit things i just. eighteen

years ago i traveled across the united states exploring america's deadly love affair with a gun if a bad guy tried to get to one of my family members he would have better life better and i think they are and hurting when i buy my babies says my book was published in the year two thousand more than half a million americans have been killed by firearms in the us i had a thought to me as i did this this is a middle school we go through drills and we put ourselves in real scenarios it was interesting to see who actually got here. and i decided to return to the subject to track down each gun owner who i'd met and photograph those years of god i don't know this but we are not.

this little bundle of joy he would have no chance of surviving in the wild mother pandas can only will one come at a time but usually give birth to. every year china puts a lot of effort into making up for this cruel mistake of nature. it was. china's pender breeding has become something of a production line. it's almost as though they've been copied three d. printed and put on show for the public. several cubs are born here each year. but only left work by dedicated scientists will be for nothing if panda of can't be encouraged in captivity it's not as though they don't practice at all but in the same lazy way they do everything else this proud mommy gave birth to twins and has no idea that a special love potion was formulated just for the.
