student fatally shot seventeen people and injured some dozen more and nineteen year old suspect was detained by police on the day of the atrocity his case and how the f.b.i. failed to recognize the threat posed by him is now being investigated where u.s. attorney general jeff sessions is now calling for an immediate review of the f.b.i. and the department of justice florida is not the deadly attack that could potentially have been avoided had more attention being paid caleb maupin reports nicholas cruz isn't the only mass killer to be on the radar screen of the f.b.i. before conducting their crime all marmot team who shot up the pulse nightclub killing forty nine people in orlando florida was investigated by the f.b.i. twice before he committed his mass murder turns out they deemed him not to be dangerous now don't forget about dylan ruth the self-proclaimed white supremacist who killed nine churchgoers in south carolina well it turns out he was able to purchase his weapons because of errors in the f.b.i.'s background check process and then there's new delhaize saw him he shot up a u.s.
6:31 am
military post in texas back in two thousand and nine turns out the f.b.i. was fully aware that he was online in communication with top al qaeda leaders they still didn't bother to investigate him we've seen time and time again over the last he is our intelligence agencies across the west dropping the pool in terms of getting tips being aware of potential threats and not following up on those threats and. taking out defensive measures it seems lessons not being learned they need to have a proper view about you know what exactly are the threats what are they trying to do how can they best protect the people of that country to protect against these threats and that doesn't seem to be done it's not like these federal law enforcement agencies are lazy just recently we heard from the f.b.i. that chinese foreign exchange students are a threat to national security we also had federal agencies urging us not to buy chinese brand cellphones and more recently congress renewed the power of the n.s.a. to one. or tap and spy on american citizens some might come to the conclusion that
6:32 am
it's not incompetence or a lack of effort the issue is rather the type of threats these agencies are choosing to focus on. r t new york. a palestinian school teacher has been left scarred after being mauled by an israeli army dog and a word of warning you may find some of the following scenes up setting. it was assaulted in the west bank during a raid conducted by israeli defense forces they were searching for another man the alleged killer of an israeli who bears the same surname. and we can show you the extent of the injuries sustained during the morning school teacher is expected to require further treatment including a skin graft to one of his arms he's also been left with a leg injury so. i woke up when i heard explosions i looked at my house door and it had been destroyed by an i.d.f. bomb and after that there were several other explosions that destroyed the windows
6:33 am
and damaged the house i went immediately to my children's room and we gathered after that there was another explosion that destroyed the bedroom door i saw a dog it started to attack me and bite my shoulder and then it started to bite my leg and i was screaming. the palestinian schoolteacher was allegedly attacked in front of us children and his wife into. this incident has had a psychological effect on my husband my children and myself i am staring at this hospital with them and i see he lay cannot but night shaking and trembling have used the eldest son also wakes up screaming about his that and the little one is waiting it was a terrifying experience the dog attacked my husband for over seven minutes and i tried to help him defend my husband by grabbing the dogs had what i couldn't get away from. the idea for a comment on the case they responded by saying that i had previously threatened
6:34 am
civilians in jewish majority areas of the west bank they also told us the raid was conducted in accordance with standard procedures and that god was immediately given medical treatment however he disputes that saying he had to wait to get treatment. afterward i was bleeding for more than two and a half hours and they took me to the hospital note that i only got treatment at the hospital itself not from the i.d.f. . journalist a mix of blumenthal says the use of dogs is i.d.f. policy. this you know is being cast by the israeli military and government as kind of an isolated incident but as any of us who follow the situation in the west bank know this is far from isolated it's part of the clear policy of using dogs as kind of an advance team during home raids of palestinians there is also a high profile case in twenty fifteen of
6:35 am
a sixteen year old from the southern town of beit omar also a town that's under pressure from from jewish settlers where he his home was raided by an israeli dog unit this is a sixteen year old named him he was badly mauled by a dog you know these dogs apply two thousand pounds of pressure per square inch and israeli soldiers were taunting him on video there's actually video of this incident and now he. and the palestinian human rights group al hock are suing not israel but actually the dutch company for winds canine which supplied those dogs and has supplied what it calls biting dogs to the israeli military for violating u.n. conventions on companies operating in conflict zones so this is a very significant lawsuit and it speaks to a wider policy of what the israeli dissident journalist gideon levy calls lynching by dog and still to come here on the program on the u.n.
6:36 am
composed the situation in mosul iraq to the world war two and i mean here we look at why the city is proving so difficult to be mined back and among. the other make they're talking back on a banker fiduciary to fiduciary other words are saying that bitcoin is eating our lunch the returns on bitcoin of made everything we do as a bank look stupid immature and low performance even warren buffett has not kept up with bitcoin nobody's. but that point so they're saying that oh it's a non correlating us ok what does that mean that means stocks bonds then currencies are all in bear markets. and they're probably going to wipe out a whole generation or two currencies are the only thing that's going to save these people and us from being fired so we're going to middle of the market because even if we get a little bit of those last ten years it's been going. to report negative year on
6:37 am
year returns on every single piece of money. thanks for joining us according to a reason to un report it will take decades to clear the iraqi city of mosul unexploded bombs clearance works are being complicated by the fact that many of the bombs buried under an estimated eleven million tons of rubble and we spoke to the u.n. mine action services senior program manager and he compares the situation in the city to the off the world war two.
6:38 am
become so explosive a house thirds it is very and it is of unseen previously on the sea and proportions in terms of the contamination that we experience it is a mixture of coalition ammunition that has been fired and that has failed to function we are still made that least ten percent of that i mentioned. that has five been fired has failed to function we also find that isis ammunition that has been fired has failed to function but with higher failure rates in addition to that we also find improvised explosive devices different types of explosive improvised explosive devices with different fusing systems all in common a combination with rubble high degree of rubble we estimate eleven million ton of rubble in western model at least and in general a very difficult conditions to work under. it is
6:39 am
a situation very similar to after the second world war of course what we are doing right now is that we are clearing we're serving and we are clearing critical infrastructure but still after ten maybe twenty years maybe even longer there will still be explosive contamination. it is almost impossible to say we haven't got the full scope of contamination in mosul yet we haven't been to a locations but it is a question of years and until everything has been cleared it is probably more than ten years so as mosul struggles to get back on its feet the iraqi government estimates that eighty eight billion dollars is needed to rebuild the whole country and at a global aid pledging conference in kuwait just over thirty percent of that figure was raised now the u.s. which of course has been in iraq since two thousand and three provided three
6:40 am
billion of that but that was not to interrupt financial help rather that money was placed in loans and financing to help american invest in iraq much work remains to rebuild iraq and modernize its economy to signal a strong commitment that the accident and iraq's ministry of violence will sign on to a three billion dollars memorandum of understanding with deadly chemicals and it has the announcement by the us government representative in the kuwait conference was clear that they will not provide anything except perhaps some investment in iraq we believe that the iraqi government with all its political factions should have joined forces and demanded to pay you money and. activists demanding justice for those killed in the massive grand fell fire in london last year have chosen an unusual way to stage a protest they borrowed an idea from an oscar nominated film. my daughter
6:41 am
was murdered seven months ago like in the award winning movie three billboards outside ebing the activists hired three billboards to send a message trucks carrying the words seventy one dead and still no arrests and how well paraded across london critics say questions over the safety of cheap housing have yet to be answered in the wake of june's disaster. activists warn many housing projects across the country suffer from the very same construction problems as the grunfeld and they say oh thora to use or not taking action on sea is an associate spoke to a protester behind the billboard campaign. it's been eight months since the ground fell tower tragedy shook the u.k. a twenty four story building was engulfed in flames the lives of seventy one people
6:42 am
were lost with dozens more injured numerous campaigns protest demonstrations have taken place since calling for answers justice and accountability most recently london saw a campaign where several vans went around the center of the british capital with big billboards saying seventy one people dead no arrests how come for more on this we're now joined by one of the co-founders of justice for grunfeld which is a grassroots community group obviously calling for justice and answers about thank you so much for joining us today two hundred ninety seven buildings that people are still moving into tie up and down the country that have the same kinds in the government's response has been to that they should pay for it themselves to take it down. you know lots of the survivors are still in temporary or emergency accommodation for those who really don't i think you know the survivors and the community i think prosecution of those responsible needs to take place we need to
6:43 am
see people in the dark. and they need to suffer the same penalties that any other citizen would do rather than just kind of get them elected officials favorable treatment or how likely do you think that might happen given it's been eight months already and we haven't seen one name or person be held accountable do you think that is actually going to happen i think we're going to have to mikey humpin and we will continue to come time to make sure that happens how real is the fear that something like this could happen again while this investigation even is still continuing if i was within one of those buildings i don't think i'd be sleeping at night right now. you know you cannot put people in unsafe built ins and why the government isn't reacting to this quickly and rap you convey your home should your home be sure hyphen you have a right to live is a human right to have a say. tom we will continue to. you know look out for other things that would. keep those questions in the public to mind and we expect the government to respond to
6:44 am
most of the public to mind that would thank you very much for joining us officials are continuing to conduct investigations into what exactly happened to fall tower that killed all of those people and it's clear that the local community is going to continue fighting for those answers until they get them. artsy months. and eight hundred percent increase the u.s. military plans to radically boost its stockpile of artillery shells by almost one hundred fifty thousand units. in order includes one hundred fifty five millimeter artillery shells of nato
6:45 am
caliber that's especially widespread among naval forces and g.p.s. guided excalibur rounds are also on the list that designed for quote danger close situations we asked security analyst charles schubert what might be behind this so much in orders of ammunition. almost certainly one can say that these are used these are heavy weaponry they are used mainly in conventional conflicts what we're seeing here is a very large increase that i think can't be completely explained by replenishing used resources what's being attempted i think it's a gesture it's a simple that is saying we are massively increasing our defense expenditure in the areas that are likely to be used in a possible combat scenario with states rather than non-state actors and invariably of course they're talking here about russia possibly china iran and others and that would be indeed consistent with the new stated u.s.
6:46 am
security policy of confronting those states by any standard this isn't it a very great increase in the number of shells being ordered apparent for stockpiling which again means that the army is effect through preparing for war. traversing a frozen over siberian lake in a pair of skates made over seventy years ago my thought being everyone's idea of a daily commute and that is for one russian ground law. i.
6:47 am
6:48 am
around the sun with the one person. nor middle of the room signal. to the many more real news is really. what politicians do sometimes. put themselves on the line. the beginnings of the reject. so when you want to be president. for some want to be brits. that's a good way to be for us that's what before three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of my. question. well that's just.
6:49 am
certain i want to do enjoy the show and you guys do read the review very clear right. away go to. management. and they on they they have one they have and they have then you. must get me you need to feel this very. soft yet i'm numb what do you how much they have to do you. have to let us come to mind if this goes back to my helmet i mean that would diminish you still want to talk more next. to you paul this is on his way to practice is the pressure oppressive measures
6:50 am
being deployed against the palestinian people have to do with the set of colonialism the theft to follow of man and the many many. you know there's a stating things that there are ways of doing of course the gun cools a sense of the local uprising. the other make they're talking back and a banker and fiduciary to fiduciary in other words are saying that bitcoin as even our lunch the returns on bitcoin of made everything we do is a bank look stupid image shore and low performance even warren buffett has not kept up with bitcoin nobody's kept up with that call and so they're saying that oh it's a non correlating asset ok what does that mean i mean as stocks bonds and currencies are all in bear markets now and i'm going to continue to be in barricades and they're probably going to wipe out a whole generation or two. priorities are the only thing that's going to save these people and us from being fired so we're going to middle of the market because even if we get a little of those gains the battle last ten years i've been calling it will save us

6:59 am
represent good causes that maybe they help people in a country the door deal with water problems or deal with various kinds of social problems but there are some n.g.o.s that have become funded by government entities and serve more the purpose of that government rather than trying to serve the people that they are sensibly working for one thing we saw in the one nine hundred eighty s. that that point the central intelligence agency had been largely discredited because of the scandals that had been exposed in the one nine hundred seventy s. but that being years the cia has secretly financed its overseas activities of the national students association but then there came to light a fantastic web of cia penetration so when the reagan administration came in there was this concept that instead of having the cia which traditionally would go into these different target countries funding. there are media funding n.g.o.s funding different political operations that was essentially farmed out to
7:00 am
a new organization called the national endowment for democracy which was created in one thousand nine hundred three and it would do pretty much what the agency used to do it would go into one of these countries and it would support various political groups train activists deal with journalists business groups and try to advance u.s. foreign policy interests sometimes against the interests of the host government the target government and beyond that they receive financial and other logistical help from the national endowment for democracy and other u.s. agencies that help them training activists working with journalists to get their side presented more favorably they work on things like how do you get traction how do you get things to go viral how do you then use that to generate support for your cause and support was generated was the. stuff and i had a founder of one of ukraine's new media outlets.
