chuck schumer's up there are like all these now up there that's like now i know that career politicians like that they're just in a for the photo op yeah you know they know they don't has that melts away right says that i don't want to sell what the kids won even the bronze and i'm going to the president backed off and buckled to the n.r.a. last week and it was the same thing you said well it's not a lot of political will for his on a poll lot of political poll will tell you that every single poll is saying that over half of americans want to deal with this situation and using guns as they say i think just using guns as second moment we talked about that's non-lethal weapons are also arms and that you're only saying i'm going to protect you know nobody's protecting me with bias not on regulating or deregulating non-lethal weapons that i can use to protect myself but you know i do know that you have mil if you have a billion the billions of dollars in lobbying great but these kids have the power they can be just as strong as a lobby oh yeah and you know and i think this is one of those issues too that there's so many different great facets to this issue because you can talk about you

know better security schools you know physical security things like that you know it's not just the gun debate it's not just the you know it's a magical place and debate as well exactly and i think that's where we get too caught up on and i think that i hope i hope that the these kids out there the seventeen year old kid sixteen younger who are taking this movement and running with it i just hope don't let the adults hijack it no no no i think i'll stick to your guns don't let all the adults come in and hijack it and turn it into a you know a commercial one nike you know a nike commercial down the line you don't want that keep it pure and keep speaking your mind. because all right as we go to break or quarter don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered a base book and twitter see our poll shows that are to dot com coming up we have deep into the burn pits of iraq and afghanistan for documentary greg love it and burn because the victim military veteran it just baka you don't want to miss this so stay tuned for watching the hawks.

for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star and the huge amount of pressure camera you have to the center of the football with you and do all the great. you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get going let's go. alone. and i'm really happy to join for the thousand in the world cup in russia meet the special one. needs to just say the reno p.r.t.

team's latest edition make up a bigger. look. in the heart of the swiss alps this is a place probably more secretive than the pentagon more mysterious than the cia and better guarded than for knox swiss customs are here permanently all the site is controlled by them and they impose the opening times the way. it is from is all plus the procedures in place of the strictest in all europe masterpieces by artists like pecan so and modigliani i can't boards and sold inside this warehouse that's where the report comes in it covers a deals which are naturally discreet commercially discreet but also discreet because they concern fraud from some of those paintings are linked to dark secrets nobody knows how many of these secrets a captain. side the geneva freeport says you'll never obtain an inventory of all

the works in the freeport who knows how many there are three hundred three thousand three hundred thousand is it a matter of confidentiality only is it the world's black box of the art business. there's nobody that's keeping wilbur's asian economy we're all working for below minimum wage at the end of the day if you factor in the ecological devastation of the dancing chicken effect and all the cruelty prone eggs who escapes this nightmare we call post-industrial is post ironic post. dentis ization and infantile ization narcissistic was i reality.

there is nothing the united states collectively enjoys more than lavishing praise money and adulation on the ranks of our nation's fighting force with the pentagon sprawling and unaccounted for budget growing decade by decade at a pace unseen in the modern world and the president apparently making a military parade down pennsylvania avenue one of his biggest domestic priorities for twenty eighteen there appears to be no limit to the love and appreciation we show our troops but it turns out there's a very hard limit indeed of that appreciation and it affects our troops exactly when they need it most and they need our support document terry and greg lovett producer and director of delay deny hope you die explores the long ignored military use of burn pits crude throwbacks to a time before modern health and science that leave many returning veterans today physically in limbo for their life earlier we sat down with love and u.s. air force master sergeant jesse baka to learn more about this facet of our military capitol hill has long chosen to not celebrate. thank you so much gentlemen for

coming in and joining us today and talking about this important important documentary delay deny hope you die how america poisoned its soldiers i want to start and ask you greg what has the reception for the film been like so far. well i've gotten really positive reaction but it really runs the whole scope of emotions from anger and disappointment for. a lot of people who weren't aware that this was going on or really shocked that this is happening that it's still happening that soldiers aren't getting the help that they need and a lot of people that are going through it can really relate to the some of the stories that they hear from but from the other soldiers and a lot of people really want to know what they can do to help when it's all over they feel pretty moved and motivated to take action just see what was what was your experience when you're. looking for the first time i was i was shocked and it because it brought back to reality what i went through it just brought it all back

he did such a good job and showing all that and the emotion like he said it rollercoaster a lot it was it was crazy. now the screening greg was here and d.c. recently and i wonder because i keep hearing this story over the last few years you know i got a rolling thunder every year and i talk to the guys there and those vets are still talking about you know agent orange and now this this is sort of the new agent orange monks that that community. when you were here in d.c. or ever are you hearing any movement from politicians are there any politicians that are standing behind the fight to take care of the soldiers who were affected by that burn or just make help more accessible at all there are a few just you senator baka. help get a registry started you actually hosted a private screening for some of his colleagues on capitol hill. we had

a congressman from florida at the screening bill or office who was trying to help you can't really say that it's that it's gone mainstream yet it's not a majority of people helping but there are. some politicians here in there that are trying to take up the fight and do what they can do. i think that let me ask you as a vet. how what does it feel like to see something that obviously was in the line of duty it was part of your job how do you how do you react as a feel when you see that it's a few senators or congressmen like this seems like something that should be across the board that every senator and congress person should be on this shouldn't be a question how does it feel when you see things not happening or it's not a mainstream issue i know it's in its infancy right now and our senator from new mexico tom udall and then our congresswoman michele the hunger there just supporting it big time and with senator udall he's

a senior senator and very very respected man and when he helped us with the birthday of bill it went like fire the hard part is to keep it hot keep it going if it can die down that's probably the biggest thing right now i just can't let it you know i just want to focus and with a documentary i believe it will bring it to light that's good that's really good you know i was curious to see you know you mentioned earlier you helped get the bird good registry kind of off the ground that it was back in like twenty terrible you know you helped in that process. how many veterans right now or are soft are suffering from it associated older illnesses that we know it's in the thousands it's not just a small number i can't even be accurate on it it's a lot of people and it's more is coming to light and when i get to talk to veterans there are huge frustration there is they're not being they're not being looked at it's not recognized and the reason being is every veteran has an individual fight

for the veterans administration you can't just take one hundred people on this just get it done it's on you by yourself with your paperwork is there there's no human research for the film is there any idea of how many you know understand the iraqi citizens are going up. to buy this at this point and that's a home another story unfortunately there is research that shows that children are being born with higher rates of cancer because of course the smoke from the burn pits doesn't stop at the the border of your base it floats into the communities they were in footage and maybe you've seen us do jesse i don't know but of iraq and afghanistan this is actually scavenging in the burn pits because you know one man's trash is another man's treasure and so they were exposed to it too and because they come from a different kind of society than we do i don't think they're really doing any research i don't think we know but the most positive thing that's for sure. do you

. are the pits first i think i wonder are these pits still in operation is this something that hand that is actually being done or is the pentagon come up with a new way pardon my says there's probably did they come up with new ways to poison ourselves because it seems like every time if it's not you know things in the soil the bullets everything it's a toxic job so are they being used or have they come up with some safer alternative . they're still being i mean i can only give you and i don't have evidence i don't have details but i have talked to soldiers who contacted me after they heard the document was being made they wanted to provide additional information if possible whatever and i've run into many who said that there's still a new unconscionable i just from my personal but my personal feeling on it's unconscionable like these men and women are serving their country and whether i agree with that war i'm totally anti-war but whether i agree with it or not putting

them in harm's way like that when they're already in harm's way just for the horrible thing about it too is a show in the documentary that there was information as far back as two thousand and six that the military themselves knew that these bridges were reporting the soldiers i have copies of memos that were just completely buried and soldiers were never informed of the hazard of toxins that they were being exposed to so they knew about this they knew the potential for harm and they did nothing about it what was the cost benefit analysis not that you know you were walking in their shoes but what was their justification what was the cost benefit analysis of what or what we know this is harmful but it was just just kind of keep it quiet and just keep dumping and burning and dumping and burger what was their justification if any in all honesty it's a money thing in the military years ago they'd be they cut and cut the military so much that the soldier and the airman the sailor the marine all they could do is fight the war as far as love just sticks all that went to a contractor and it was one contractor they didn't have to beat anybody. he just he

was the big fish in the pod and he won everything and it was a money thing i'll give you one example small example i was there in two thousand and four during that summer the incinerators were sitting on the loading dock they were there are american taxpayers bought paid for i'm ready to go. contractors didn't stop them they were fighting over money to install them while i went back in two thousand and seven and heat they were still sitting in the same spot covered with dirt so these incinerators which you could have put all the trash in which could have cut down on the entire issue whatsoever of inhaling you know the toxics in your lungs never to use simply because it was all kind of a body fight with contractors yes another thing i think that's important to remember is that there are also very little legal consequences k.b.r. which was responsible for managing some of these burn pits a subsidiary of halliburton they received an indemnification from the u.s. government meaning if they act in any way that is harmful to

a soldier or even an iraqi national they will not be held liable so there's a lawsuit going on now it's been going on for about eight or ten years the outcome is kind of pointless because even if they are found guilty you know in a court of law it's not going to be k.b.r. who pays for it it's going to be you it's going to be your viewers it's going to be the american citizen taxpayer that has to foot the bill so there's no consequences so doesn't really matter how they act is that is that really the issue the all of the springs from at the end of the is our reliance our brand new warfare reliance on contractors over soldiers you know over men and women who joined up and said ok i've got to serve in the military i'm going to you know make the food i'm going to do all the different parts of the military all soldiers used to do that are now contracted out as really this is kind of the ugly result of yes absolutely it seems i mean if. any you know any book you read about warfare you know before this century mercenaries are looked down upon they're not trust said they're not that's

considered sort of inappropriate in sort of national wars or in wars like this and i think it's odd that we sort of comfortably went into this idea of mercenaries just paid people to do things and they have no consequences that. it's a really difficult it's of it's a very difficult job as well especially as a citizen or your taxpayer where very tax money went into all of this. at the age of seventy six stephen william hawking passed on from this time space this week on the anniversary of fame physicist albert einstein's birthday and the honoring of the mathematical constant known as pie and all special day for the person who fought the degenerative disease you valiantly battled for over fifty years people from around the world made their way to cambridge university to pay respects with a line stretching out the chapel door for a chance to leave notes of condolence for the famed physicist thomas reiter former

astronaut and european space agency official was also inspired by hawkins love and fascination for the space beyond our humble planet. posts he was very fond of human spaceflight in fact it's not too long ago that he mentioned that it is important for you to. try to stay on this planet for ever know the motivation behind that by stephen hawking was slightly different one because he said we will manage maybe sometimes to destroy this planet. stephen hawking made us strive farther than we thought possible may we honor his work in memory far into the future and beyond most definitely most definitely rest in peace stephen hawking and you know i saw a man beautiful interesting human being dynamic life and made just think and hopefully inspire others to think at the end of the you know that's what's so fun

about stephen hawking's life and. whatever journey is on now we're going to hear about it all right that is our show prepared to hey remember everyone in this world we're not told that we love that stuff so i tell you all of you i am tired old winter and i'm top of the wall and keep on watching those hawks out there and have a great night everybody. welcome back skies are. looking forward to the town. this is what happens to pensions in britain don't just. watch kaiser report. never not once up. nothing's off not done one might have snakes on the definitions

enough i'm back and the next one seeking out in the south. and. taking in the not equal city south just it didn't put out to kill the bandit and then you're just going to bring. him out now we think i'm. done with the excuse when i think of the boys i didn't know well not beach that's me out on the south. in this test feeling if one means a leftist i know the deep letter that he says them tokyo find it is going to happen to go get him. out. of. the life raft out. of. his work was because did it because he didn't seem quite a cultural pretty high from the premise.

combination of. pings very artful policy. where he's established a great relationship with food and a killer and american mistakes i think in dealing with russia with this relationship between russia and china have become. quite a lot and can be quite tricky and would be quite difficult to undermine. even given what. you have on your he'll be going to see them pulling out fuck slippin egil you need something just doesn't come easy you know he didn't even give me anything else. you.

want. you to be more you to. for increase pressure should go away should sure talk. the case defense secretary resorts to underplay matic language as tensions between london and moscow increased over the poisoning of former spy surrogates for powell and his daughter or the investigation into the poisoning has so far produced no concrete evidence and u.k. police say it could take weeks more to establish a suspect. four thousand people leave syria's militant controlled enclave of eastern guta with many more expected to escape to safety by the end of the day. also ahead more claims that the arab underworld in berlin is

undermining the city's police box with criminal clowns infiltrating its line ranks . to. a warm welcome you are watching r.t. international with me nicky aaron good to have you with us this hour now our top story the u.k. as defense secretary has told russia to quote shut up and go away over moscow's alleged poisoning of former spice like a square pal and his daughter as the diplomatic fallout over the incidents continues. it is absolutely atrocious precious an outrageous will refer to it and sold three we have responded to thought frankly. should go away should shut up. let's get more on this now and cross live to our correspondent and to see a child who can talk us through the developments and nastia how have these words been received by russia well you know they've certainly raised eyebrows because

it begins to feel a little bit surreal when this kind of language starts being used in this kind of language comes into play especially if you're expecting to be taken seriously certainly in the world of diplomacy and major world politics it's not every day that we hear someone tell another major world player to go away and shut up well also in that speech the u.k. defense secretary gavin williamson was asked whether he thinks the relationship between the u.k. and russia has reached cold war proportions again he's gone on to see that he hasn't used the term cold war but he's described it as exceptionally exceptionally chilly certainly it will probably continue to be that with this kind of terminology being thrown around williamson also went on to really blame russia for quite a few events around the world let's take a listen what is also clear is that the kremlin is rekindle the international

rulebook using its growing hybrid capabilities to undermine and influence countries room for world. well the u.k. foreign secretary boris johnson today talked about how there is quote overwhelming evidence that russia was behind this cripple incident although however when he also was asked about his certainly a certainty on a scale from one to ten he described it to be at nine point ninety eight and he talked about russia being full of smug sarcasm we also heard from nato secretary general talk about this whole ordeal let's take a listen to those i'm afraid the evidence is overwhelming that it is russia and something by the way in the kind of smug sock stick response that we've heard from the russians the to me that indicates their fundamental guild guitar

console spree has taken place against the backdrop of a reckless pattern of russian behavior over many years. well we saw some reactions from france as well yesterday they were saying it's too early to make any rash decisions today they seem to support london with the understanding that there is no other option in terms of what's going on we do know that theresa may the british prime minister is in cells very today to meet with members of the public we do know that the u.k. has plans to provide a sample of the nerve agent that has been discussed and revel in in connection to this of poisoning to the organization for the prague bishan of chemical weapons which russia is also a part of but it's not providing a sample to russia despite requests and messages multiple times from russia throughout this past week to be able to analyze this nerve agent and try to assess what exactly it is and we do know of course the foreign ministry in russia has been

saying they would like to know what the substance is we've heard from foreign minister sergei lavrov said russia that russia will definitely retaliate in connection to the expulsion of the twenty three russian diplomats certainly a quid pro quo scenario is sort of traditional in these kinds of scenarios but he did underscore that russia will continue to use diplomatic language here thank you for those details that saudis and of reporting from london well earlier the u.k. government accused russia of breaching the international chemical weapons convention the statement came out an emergency meeting at the u.n. security council called by london over the poisoning of the expiry. the u.k. government concluded that it was highly likely that russia was responsible for this reckless are we haven't seen anything but highly likely as of yet we have concluded that mr scruby pro and his daughter were poisoned with a nazi shock a military grade nerve agent of

a type developed by russia. if britain is so confident that it was not a truck gassed with the nav means they have the chemical formula samples and the ability to produce it the united states believes that russia is responsible for the attack on two people and the united kingdom using a military grade nerve agent. we demand that material proof be provided before making any accusations against us in this high profile case. we requested the russian government to provide an explanation by the end of tuesday the thirteenth of march on how this russian produce nerve agent could have been deployed in salzburg. they provided no credible explanation goodwood we are ready for open and constructive cooperation within the framework of the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons we don't speak the language of ultimatums and we won't allow anyone to speak to us this way. but according to the rules all of the international organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons all the o.p.c.

w. if any state believes that another country might have used chemical weapons it has to provide all the necessary evidence within ten days after the request experts we spoke to believe it's not russia but rather the u.k. which has broken the rules. the o.p.c. w.'s got set procedures in place that need to be followed through with this and those are not being followed. those procedures investigation and formal steps are not being followed and from my understanding russia has offered to jointly cooperate but but they would like a formal request and they would like samples in order to do the analysis which makes complete sense to me and why wouldn't you want to cooperate together sometimes if you're trying to hide something or to shift the narrative in certain direction maybe you don't want to cooperate it's unfortunate but i i do not think this looks very professional of the u.k. and they're not following the conventions you've got set procedures in place and they're just not being followed or kind of

a complete disregard to international law a rule of law or rule of agreements that there are in place moscow has called the u.k. smashes a crude provocation and announced that there would be countermeasures the u.k. now says it has damning evidence of russia's guilt and will submit it to the. the investigation into the attack on the form of russian intelligence agent is still ongoing and there are still many unanswered questions as artie's done a whole can explain. and i attack by the kremlin on u.k. soil for downing street it seems the case is all but closed russia is the culprit no questions or rather. the prime minister taking the necessary steps to make a formal request for evidence from the russian government given the gravity of the accusations at official request seemed like a reason the mosque but last group though says no such requests were forthcoming.

we haven't received any official request from london we've told britain we're ready to respond if they file the request instead of filing the official request the u.k. continues to pull political stunts moscow also said it would cooperate in a joint investigation within o.p.c. w. parameters it seems this offer was unacceptable to the u.k. government. has a high resolution trace analysis been run on a sample of the nerve agent no answers from to reason may on that but the prime minister believes there's already enough evidence to make it highly likely this was an attack ordered by the russian state guilty as charged mr script atlantis daughter poisoned with an. a military grade nerve agent developed by russia means motive and opportunity are usually needed to prove criminal guilt the nerve agent shark legibly used in that attack was actually developed in the soviet union

decades ago and the o.p.c. w. officially confirmed that russia had concluded the destruction of its entire chemical weapons stockpile last year but apparently it was not only russia that had access to research labs around the scientists working there in his back is starting for example which became independent after the breakup of the soviet union it was the pentagon that helped to demilitarize the facility it was in that very facility that never chalk was tested so they didn't even know. the gobbles up against god's will in the mid one nine hundred ninety s. western special services recruited a number of our chemical specialists their names are known they also brought some of the documents and continued research in this area including in the us in the u.k. for the results achieved by those countries in creating new poisonous substances that for some reason classified under the common name in the west are confirmed and represented in more than two hundred open sources from nato countries we have all the references.
