you know any any initiative you know maybe it's the suffering of people you know we of course welcome we our primary goal is to that there is a cessation of hostilities that there is a humanitarian cause that is long enough for us to be able to deliver assistance on a regular basis what we called for and what we continue to call for thirty days of at least thirty days cessation of hostilities so that we can deliver assistance to people in need and is screwed up but also when other procedures are hard to reach areas in syria what's what's important is that most old parties on the ground warring parties and you soon will talk respect and protect civilians whether there are humanitarian corridors or not so civilians must not be must not be targeted and should be allowed to flee whether through humanitarian corridor doors or not if they wish and if they wish to remain inside their homes and if some of the they are not to be so i guess it is clear according to the international humanitarian law.

russia's military says meantime that only two children have been able to leave beleaguered on play through the humanitarian corridor that they've tried to establish it says the militants when opening fire on anyone attempting to escape are now using civilians as human shields these dramatic images coming out. shows the moment those youngsters managed to flee the area gosh what must they be going through deeply shocked and called and comforted by syrian government soldiers the best they could after reaching a military checkpoint the fate of their family their parents remaining unclear well with amazing composure they did still manage to speak just a little while afterwards and they calmed down a bit. of the public spoke to them. on the side of. you know recently their command of love. and you know my model shuttle

her as she is i also. know i didn't know mr lewis well i don't. that many can see it and. you only have left his car so you know. dave got i mean you have a smile you will be. there online privacy concerns over a browser which claims to let people use the internet completely anonymously is called tall and among other uses it can help people navigate the so-called dark web which is often used for criminal activity it was developed by the u.s. government before being sold on but it's been revealed that indeed government agencies are still sponsoring it apparently it goes down our scope more. for some it's about drugs guns killers for hire and a mind boggling range of other black market items and services for others it's

about privacy and principle to give big brother a run around simply because it has no business prying into people's online affairs the internet anonymity people seek it for all sorts of reasons good and bad and for more than a decade the go to solution has been this top you download the browser and moments later you are part of an elaborate network designed to bounce your traffic about making your identity and location almost impossible to discover the open secret to is almost entirely funded by the us government didn't deter previously junkies from making use of the technology washington's interest was purely about free speech we were told julian assange would snowden and the plethora of other activists and whistleblowers indorsed to law anyway tour is a critical technology the design of the tourist system is structured in such a way that even in the u.s.

government wanted to subvert it it couldn't without tour the streets of the internet became like the streets of a very heavily surveilled cd but that's something they might have to change their minds about now twenty five hundred pages of newly released documents appear to show how tour success dovetails with washington's agenda take the sponsor for instance the f.b.i. tour developers have been meeting with its agents briefing them on how to use the technology even organizing conferences for the bureau the f.b.i. is apparently always the first to know about vulnerabilities in torre's code and also gets a say in when the public finds out about the flaws keeping the f.b.i. informed of and using to contribute to project a network sustainability a prevail. like this effectively gives the f.b.i. all the time in the world to explore the week sport before it's fixed the broadcasting board of governors an official u.s.

body supervising washington funded media has also been cozying up to the team of tour the developers were glad to coordinate so-called deployments of tour with the b b g facilitating it spread to the countries the u.s. considers adversaries like iran china and russia the journalist behind the latest dump of the document trove promises the scandal won't die down any time soon saying there are more bombshells waiting to be uncovered in the papers meanwhile it's already beginning to look like toure could be providing about as much an unlimited as a tin foil hat i think for me is so fantastic you create. you to anonymize there are so. there you you could see what during. your. talk you know people who used.

to wish to use it where you. love them or. at least three sixty moscow time news story and to tell you this is an interesting one seems to people in a critical condition after being exposed to an unknown substance in the u.k. there's a twist to this the b.b.c. the british broadcaster is reporting that one of them is a former russian intelligence officer who was convicted of spying for great britain more than a decade ago so there's a bit of history here potentially or maybe not live to london artie's correspondent ali is there where do we start here then. well the police reporting here in the u.k. that a man in his sixty's along with a lady in her thirty's were found at the shopping center in wiltshire that's the town a few hundred miles away from london and while they were found on this bench they are thought to have been exposed to some substances unknown substances at this

point now the police haven't named who these individuals are who these victims are but the b.b.c. and sky saying that their sources suggest that it's a man by the name of surrogate script file who is sixty six years old and as you mentioned there he's somebody who was pardoned in two thousand and ten after being convicted and found guilty of passing information along to foreign intelligence outfits and foreign intelligence agencies and as part of a spy swap he was pardoned by dmitri medvedev and so he was released and has been living in the u.k. and these sources saying that that's the man who has been found ill now the police have also not named what the substance is or given any suggestion of there being foul play out of work however the media have already got to work in making

comparisons with mr litvinenko of course who was poisoned those years ago and so the media at least jumping to conclusions and trying to perhaps make a suggestion at this point that there has been some type of foul play here but again important to note that the police adjusting or even not naming who this gentleman is or even what the substance is but we're definitely be keeping our eye on this story as more information totally all over in london really get back to that just earlier for as some of the other will show all right thanks lisa for they're desperate. and author and political analyst martin mccauley it was talk about a sense good to see you on the line yet we don't know what's happening here this go overseas a checkered colorful whatever you want to call it passed he was jailed for thirteen years in two thousand and six he did russia then there was that prisoner pardon it seems his wife died by certain reports lately may have fallen on hard times we

don't know but we apparently the story is he was found disorientated on a bench with a female companion but of course the headlines already doing the russian spy poisoned lying over in the u.k. but i guess that was to be expected even though the facts aren't out yet. of course because immediately when you find a russian. f.s.b. curdle. to take him to hospital they immediately think of vials and the litvinenko and his assassination in two thousand and six and the question will be did he ingest polonium was did he get polonium into this body and if it did how did it through his body because he was apparently in the middle of small very out in the open on a park bench did somebody grow up with the idea and stick a needle in him and his and his companion as well without anyone seeing them. and

you could spin you can spin the story if you like because the public love a spy scandal in the course it's it's for the for the media really ticks all the boxes i mean it does beg the question would there be as much attention if it were a former intelligence officer from a country you know other than russia or if it was russia was involved or along the line as but it wouldn't be as juicy would it. no because if it were mongolia or prove or. book in a faster way from the like that it would get a mention of a footnote on page six of the newspaper and then you pass it on but once you put the word russian in front of somebody who's ill taken a hospital the hospital cleared out from some people that declared declared that no one could enter the area suspect and what do you read into that you read that it's a radioactive substance it's something which is very dangerous and then you say well which country would have the facilities to produce that has nothing to say the

substance. in wiltshire was that he did it with as far as i can see there was nothing to say it was radioactive which is not unknown substance but anyway of course the other thing here is a couple of weeks before the big presidential election here odd timing isn't it and i suppose the mainstream media is going to spin it even more because of that timing . yes well they blame the british authorities blame the murder this i snoozed a little go on the f.s.b. eventually back to vladimir putin and then they demanded a voice to those the accused of carrying out a burka be extradited of course they couldn't be extradited and therefore this will all come up again and you'll say script for this little is in fact more one of the same did in fact that he fell out with the f.s.b. he betrayed russia and so on has somebody in fact. minister to the death sentence

to him and they'll just go on speculatively it's too good it's too juicy it's too good to let go because looking back at that case all those years ago it's still to this day when mr voice says he's innocent of anything like that or and what what if they will see it goes and hope this guy gets well soon and what exactly is the problem there or what was the cause behind it but i'm sure we're more over the coming hours thank you for your thoughts martin mccauley over there in london. thank you. talking of the kind of thing next story is pretty similar it sounds like a plot straight and a hollywood movie but this time it did happen and it did happen in a russian village we're talking about a mix up maternity ward forty years ago that left two mothers raising each other's children nightmare d.n.a. tests have now confirmed the suspicions that the family's actually been harboring for years but they grew up in a loving relationship it seems either which way had nisha sethi it's got the story . it's a tell of heartache confusion and attempted met and it's taken two women almost

forty years to find out they were raised by the wrong families in a village hospital near the oval mountains four women gave birth on the same day in march nine hundred seventy eight but who knew about this left with the wrong babies this is thrown into had blue eyes for a suspicions with a number logical father he thought his wife had cheated an assumption which had terrifying consequences of course he didn't love her that much one day i came back from work in my mother told me she saw him covering for ron it was face with a pillow i was ironing when i next saw him i threw a hot iron at him i said if you touch the child again i don't know what i'll do to you eventually he abandons the family meanwhile growing up nearby was tania again raised by a couple believing had to be their right but there was no family resemblance the team of this met to discuss their doubts. i have a birth certificate how can i give up my baby and i have not they will move

suspicions when froma came in at the age of take she was diagnosed with an inherited disease a condition which no one in the family has but years later went for and because mother went back to the hospital fraunces old medical records have been destroyed and then to tend towards itself no longer existed forty years on and the families finally took d.n.a. tests. i always thought i looked like grandma when i found out i was shocked i thought they wouldn't love me any more now that they found their real daughter. the veronica has always asked that question mom why do i not look like you why do i have a different character she's so calm and even tempered her face is different from ours i used to joke you must have been switched at birth. it's been a long painful path for both families they say they have never gretz the mother is the one who brought you up not the one who gave birth and that would just. when you

were a huge reason why you. were going to get that which. never speak though if it had. you know your face or spoke to the. issue of bush. getting it then yes but that veronica is still haunted by the suffering she saw on your view i feel sorry for my mom because i have seen her struggling for all her life not everyone can deal with it not everyone can be like her for the sake of her children she has forgotten about everything she would go to the end of the world only for her children to be safe and sound but i would go to court for moral compass sation at least because we're so we should birth because i feel myself guilty for her in life and that my father left her. the families have now come to terms with what happens and even say they've gained more than they've lost but tanya julieann my grandchildren we're all a big family now we're all relatives you can turn back time.

three years of civil war in yemen are continuing to leave deep scars which will take the country decades to recover from one of his those trying to ensure that the victims are not forgotten but painting murals in their memory around the capital. better than i was the feeling of safety of peace destruction is everywhere blood the killings crime all across a lot of crime. which are just alike is a painting dedicated to victims especially children. like

about the mouth of god so sometimes it's a challenge to find the wall some people don't want my paintings on their houses or official buildings but when i receive people's support it encourages me a lot to. hear memories of it all from strife thanks for watching keep up to date with all the latest stories from us but check in on our side was our main sites a couple languages because we want to check it out in spanish or german or french or their favorite social media outlets as well but with more of the top of the sea of them every.

one else seems wrong. just. yet to show. crowd disdain comes to the ticket and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. i've done some as not so as not i can quit places not good country. church because it is the minister they live bunch of among us well before the storm. because that's what this thread is glued. to the flagellum say oh

ok let's share it with the secular serious. holy and just will embrace from the moment of oneself to be the middle. mostly out of this fossil. play almost anything from the members of the base to logic and our better john said i'm based on on my shoulder as i have no one can i do not the last i would miss rice from practical matter how not a kid. from a show coming cannot. confront a man i cannot move he was almost feeling now we're going to fuck and i'm a. cool let's do this or we're going to sort of enough i was going to show you go to sleep i don't want to go to the snooze in the micra poisoners or the one of the street the. cinema bar gather you know that allows us. to see others who are supposed to.

blow in welcome to crossfire or all things are considered i'm peter lavelle putin tells the u.s. to come back to earth challenging washington's you know polar ambitions also calls to end the illegal war against yemen and why arming the can breathe is a recipe for disaster as well as the return to trade wars. across talking some real news i'm joined by my guest mark sloboda he's an international affairs and security analyst and we have dmitri bobbitt she is a political analyst with spook nick international originally crossed locals in fact that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it first of all we have to go to putin speech on russia returning to nucular parity with the united

states and we have to comment about the erosion of arms control regimes that are very important you know mark and looking at the major cable stations in the broadsheets they don't give much of a background why this speech was given and its significance go ok well there's two speeches the first part of the speech was a domestic state of the union speech saying this is what i've accomplished in my years in office so far this is what we haven't accomplished this is where we want to go this is our obstacles and this is how we think we can get there and it was a very good the majority of the speech it was a two hour speech the majority of it was the voted to domestic matters lots of facts and figures he's clearly on top of his game knows his economy inside out though is where he wants to take it. focus on. increasing g.d.p. per capita and also science technology education spending.

the other part of the speech was a reply to the u.s. it was a reply to two things one the u.s. unilaterally pulling out of the anti-ballistic missile treaty that was the bedrock of the nuclear. parity global strategy of mad mutually assured destruction and the other one was that pull out was under the george w. bush administration back in two thousand and one russia yelled about it at the time and said the measures they. would take and they've now announced them the other thing was a direct response to trump's new nuclear posture review which came out a few weeks ago we've talked about it on the show it has almost been ignored in the western press very very slight amount of news certainly nothing on the talk shows and russia is extremely alarmed by it and they've made clear how alarmed they are

by it and they made clear reiterating their strategy and i would i would say replying in kind to the resort and spa and completely differently that russia is aggressive on the international stage here but mark is absolutely right if we look at the larger pretty picture here we had parity was out of sync that was the entire purpose of these nuclear armaments agreements to keep a sense of balance to make sure there was massive destruction where you wouldn't attack another country on a first strike now what the russians have done with this speech and with the introduction of these weapons is to bring that balance back into into place absolutely and i agree with mark that speech was response to the nuclear pulse to report the united states and i would like to point your attention to the fact that a region that he was supposed to speak in december he postponed the speech until know why because it was a response to your digestion of the nuclear posture right and that maybe i will

disagree a little bit when nuclear power to russia is not seeking to have the same amount of nuclear weapons conventional weapons will be the west that he really is impaired in the sense we're there we can give you discourage that have the sort of stability of any building of nuclear exchange is not to. be able to. be completely if there is to have enough capability to inflict and unbearable damage dissuading damage that's why i said you know showing all of these new weapons sorry mom. and that underwater drone he says that i'm not going to produce a lot of them the aim is to the weapons that can overcome the american baby and don't insist that we can inflict that damage markets deterrence is all about deterrence and that's what all of these weapon systems are all about i mean again it will be spun in a very naive simplistic way but this these are all defensive measures of course

they're i mean defensive measures to get past the u.s. anti-ballistic missile shield which russia is worried about because of first strike capability which u.s. geo political thinkers have been salivating at the thought and openly voicing that they now thought that they were getting nearer to a first strike capability and he's not just replying to the pulling out of the treaty he's replying to the deployment of anti ballistic missile shield sections in poland in romania alaska california south korea a nice easy in that he highlighted some thirty one destroyers a number of cruise ships that that form part of the money it just isn't going to work is it going to work oh it is russia's reply going to oh yes of course the reason why is and this is a key to the new arms race and for those who haven't been paying attention russia

didn't start a new arms race the arms race is already been going on for two decades because of the u.s. pulling out of it all the major powers russia china india the e.u. the u.s. have all been developing hypersonic weapons underwater drones all of these things but it is much much cheaper easier to build and deploy missiles that can a vague missile defense then and then to create new missile defense that can counter those well it just you just don't walk that stuff won't resolve the problem what we need a smart war heads and i think. paradoxically it was a conservative speech once that was to return to the safety to the period of say four years he said when u.s. has to come back to earth absolutely and he mentioned it in an interview that the united states actually destroyed the arms control system when they went out of their they but it took me so to create a signed in one thousand and seventy two the whole idea of the treaty it was it's

a very american idea you know to call boys are facing each other with its folds and none of them present what it profe west so the wall stopped shooting because each of them on the stand is going to be the death for the importance of a.b.m. anti-ballistic missile treaty mark is that it was the foundation for all the other newsreel agreements ok the one that we're have when i was the new start to grieve and this is one of the things that was meant to didn't mention in the speech he did reach out made it very clear to sit down pretty i mean obviously with the united states here. to negotiate a new generation of agreements that's that's very important something that wasn't mentioned as a very important the anti-ballistic missile treaty was the foundation upon which these other agreements were built now one of the reasons for putin's announcement and this is a direct successor to putin's two thousand and seven munich speech a speech that in order to understand modern geopolitics i think everyone needs to

read he warned of the consequences then he's now warning what we've done and where we're at now and both of these two major treaties arms control treaties the intermediate range nuclear forces in the new start treaty are due to expire in just the next few years one thousand nine hundred. nineteen two thousand nine hundred eighty either one to two thousand and twenty one so he's actually making a plea here yes it down at the table he said directly you did not hear us then well listen to us now in. it's too late or it's too late to change gears here gentlemen i made a promise to our viewers here that we would keep an eye on what's going on in yemen a grossly unreported story in western media deamon we have a move in the u.s. senate to call. the white house to stop its involvement in the war against them and that's led by saudi arabia this is something that we

talked about last week about the authorization of military force is going to go anywhere i'm afraid of the current she's going to continue and it's just unthinkable you know all of the western media is talking about eastern ghouta what you have ok maybe a few dollars and sell thousands of people in yemen and you have to weigh in to seven million people and sixteen million out of them have no access to potable water and insufficient food supplies and they're being borne by them also and we have to produce our way out of a very systematic a blockade here implicate continuous since november two thousand and seventeen because look being which the u.s. has participated absolutely where does this come from is this. a red herring here that suddenly congress is waking up to its responsibilities about the authorization of use of force essentially they have the right to declare war where does this come from no no i am afraid this is

a partisan shot across the bow. first of all obama started this war as going without it to your yeah yeah he participated in saudi arabia never would have launched the war without us permission and help and constant arms supply and refueling in the air and sea for i.s.o. our intelligence special forces on the ground drones everything us has been kneedeep in this they're not just supporting they're an active military participant that was started by obama no one objected that no one objected to obama's proxy war in syria no one objected to. destruction of libya right now truck comes along continues at this point he's only continued what obama has done and suddenly bernie sanders finds the courage with one another republican mike lee you know to stand forward and say oh we just remembered that we have. congressional powers.
