shutdown the united states senate arac declared eighty five hundred liters of anthrax the touch many iraqis can hear me tonight in a translated radio broadcast and i have a message for them the tyrant will soon be gone. the day of your liberation is near and. look. like he. was a knight i am announcing that the american combat mission in iraq has and.

educate. the table. it will take time to read a case of cancer like i said we will conduct a systematic campaign of airstrikes against these terrorists. look at. the touch. what's concerning is people who profit from fire those in it since people of mosul are the ones who did it by our humanitarian assistance. well one of the darkest pages in the iraq war was the exposure of the top sure of

iraqi detainees at abu ghraib prison the job was originally used by saddam hussein for political prisoners but after the u.s. invasion in two thousand and three to become a military prison for thousands of captured iraqi there many of the iraqis did suffer torture sexual abuse rape and also humiliation the horrific images of soldiers posing next to tormented prisoners shocked the world when they were released leading to the convictions of eleven american soldiers story received a massive public outcry to win the us well r.t. is exclusively spoken to former abu ghraib prisoners who described their ordeal a word of warning that you might find the following images disturbing. we'll know more when their americans arrived with their tanks we thought they would readers of the harsh regime everyone would have their own house and car just like in the wealthy arab countries or in the west but it turns out to be the opposite.

of shyness they would hang a prisoner on the metal door of the cell and subject them to electrocution or urination they would stick a rifle into sensitive areas or they would use a broken broomstick causing internal bleeding prisoners would need surgery. after i was released whenever i saw americans on the street i would be terrified they would send me back to that place and torture me again it still keeps me up at night remembering the torture they hear the screams of us young and yet i still have nightmares and suffer physical and mental pain as if it all happened yesterday i work night and day to try to forget it what we went through and what happened to iraq was a terrible crime it broke us even now i can't get inside a bafta because it makes me think of waterboarding.

the time i spend in the prison felt like a lifetime an hour or that pain relation and unjust is stays with you forever while an iraqi am paid to tell us they first welcomed the toppling of saddam hussein but then the invasion brought one catastrophe after another. it's a mixture of feeling. feeling of happiness and joy. because that the invasion to remove saddam hussein from power. and free people. but on the other hand. what followed after the removal of the regime is a disaster after disaster because the american invasion

immediately created an absolute vacuum. and the security in the economy and in politics in iraq. and. and move times for the country from absolute dictatorship. to. freedom without limits. freedom without responsibilities. in other news the u.k. seeking a warrant to search the service of data mining firm k. bridge cambridge analytic are accused of helping donald trump to win the presidency the danger of some fifty million facebook users was allegedly used to predict the choices of american voters by claims its information was used illegally in what some already calling the largest data leak in the company's history. think back to

the last personality quiz you completed on facebook what if i told you that data was allegedly sold to help trump win the presidential election it may seem a bit farfetched but that's exactly why u.k. data analytics company is in trouble with facebook in two thousand and fifteen we learned that a psychology professor at the university of cambridge named dr alexander kogan lied to us violated our platform policies by passing data from an app that was using facebook logon to s e o king which analytical the firm that does political government and military work around the globe facebook is now under scrutiny trying to explain how the data fifty million of its users was harvested by a trumped links and let x. company and what appears to be the largest data leak in the social networks history and in fact one cambridge university professor created a facebook personality app and then simply passed all the info quiet from its users

to the third party the third party is the cambridge and the risk a company which many in the media suspected played at least a part in trouble success once facebook realized it violated their terms they wanted all the data to be destroyed it led both companies to a data feud which of course has the potential to become a lengthy legal battle but according to n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden facebook is really a surveillance company in sheep's clothing businesses that make money by collecting and selling detail records of private lives but once plainly described as surveillance companies rebranding us social media is the most successful deception since the bombing of war became the defense according to twitter more and more users seem to be clued up on data terms and conditions found on social media platforms. for the love of god everyone talking about facebook can bridge before you come and please learn how targeting works and that it's come in place it looks

like data might have been leaked but it looks a billion times worse if you don't understand how data targeting works i don't know about everyone else but the people i know don't blindly trust facebook with information their data was leaked and used against the whole nation you know they continue to refuse to protect the data their time is limited if i understood this correctly facebook has access to loads of personal data gives third parties access to the states and when the state is abused the major problem is that these facts were leaked shooting the messenger does not solve the problem so it should be no surprise to learn that when you next complete a quiz or pollen facebook there might be an all terry motive behind it just coming up to twenty past three here in moscow still ahead furious out in austria a government raid on the headquarters of the secret service and the suspension of its head a sparking political uproar there we've got the details just after the break.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. american lives one. the second is the. senior american who works hard so this is a whole group of people all generation in america. there is the melting pot we're not being assimilated there's no opportunities we can so their response especially

is to go into conflict this is a major. blow again the future of the iran's nuclear deal is expected to be a key discussion point when the saudi crown prince meets donald trump in washington later on tuesday both are to talk tough on the agreement however mohamed bin sound man is expected to be met by protests there as well as a senate vote on the u.s. support for the saudi led bombing in yemen a demonstration in front of the congress building earlier on monday called on washington to end its backing for riyadh's attacks reports are also emerging to that russia's involvement in the middle east would be on the agenda senior u.s.

officials say president trump and mohamed bin salmon will look for ways to make russia pay a price for its aggressions. however mohammad marandi politics professor at the university of toronto's think the meeting may not be quite as friendly as some expect. well it is possible that the united states will pull out of the deal we're not still sure in these meetings they'll be looking for new ways to put pressure on iran but at the same time i think it should be kept in mind where we are seeing a relative decline of american fortunes in this part of the world and i don't think that the americans have the sort of power that they used to and the balance of power across the board pulled in do you. think the saudis which are rapidly running out of financial resources to meet the world find out that it is a losing wager to bet on the united states. now a government raid on the secret service headquarters and the suspension of its head

a sparking political uproar in austria at the moment it's auster austria's rightwing government suspects the country's intelligence agency the b.v.t. of holding data illegally and alleges corruption by the group's chief the interior minister describes intelligence chiefs suspension as unavoidable this is. as you know we have taken legal action against several officials from the b.v.t. intelligence agency accused by the prosecutor in this case i can tell you that effective immediately peace agreed ling is suspended as p.v.t. director until further notice however the opposition social democrats claim is the probe is politically motivated and they insist the government just wanted to seize data on right wing extremists and are now threatening an inquiry into the ruling party's actions if you listen one hundred those to cause doubts among the austrian people over the security forces your actions intimidated those officials who are supposed to foot the extreme rule it is the signal that wimbledon the right seem

well we address the opposition's concerns to a ruling party and. prosecution asked for this rate which was not actually rape but it was there was a pending criminal investigation against some members of the b.b. t. the b.b. g.'s of very sensibly institution and police because it is the so-called buehrle for to protect some of the constitution in the fight against terrorism that's what the abbreviations that stands for if the head of this group of this bureau is under investigation it's clear that the minister has no other choice but to suspend him for the time being because such a bureau was such a sensible tuscumbia run by someone who is under criminal investigation himself. this search was done and as it was a sensible subject to search for

a unit which has absolutely nothing to do with crime against the state this was the g.s. that is the group for the fight against street crime. and this group is headed by a man close to the freedom party which makes the saying now. easily to sell is a big thing they were only to help the prosecution in case they met resistance or the people did not cooperate so they actually didn't do the rate they were just asked by the investigators by the criminal investigators to assist. all information i got is absolutely untrue and unfounded so it was no raid to seize the have to do with extremist investigation all the data remained in place if they took copies of these daughters i am not aware of i don't know but the fact is that no file was removed and in no way investigation against certain persons was

inhibits it or stopped or something like that so this is all the room or the maid around it to construct a big story as you have seen today in the parliament even had a special session dedicated to this matter this is of course something the social democratic party the main opposition parties tries to exploit you know you want international thanks you company to soften him have more nice and it help you.

when else chose seemed wrong. but all roads just don't hold. the old beliefs yet to shape out just because the ticket and in games from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. well you know the cars they were kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. i mean they're in the small boats next to the hard pool of ships and it's ten. pm on top of. the limo self to be

told fish already ninety percent of the dot need to fall because the current. constitution scoops seventy five times they do it several times a day with a big fleet oh you get an idea why. we have to understand we can all still use to just. be with in this the deal going to go out. i'm doing this because i want the future world to the future can generations to have and enjoy the ocean we have. the most expensive fish in the world each one is selling for tens of thousands of

euros it continues to grow its entire life if it was thirty years old you might have a two ton fish out there and yet they don't get that big today because we're way too good at catching me. it's only when i'm themself a much larger mission was once there and that was much more widely distributed we have politicians that are in office for a few years they have to get reelected everything is very very short term our system is not suited and is not geared toward long term survival and that's why we have the catastrophes. america this is the cause a report oh my gosh so much to commerce a little time oscar writing to max this guy remember him do you know that's jimmy mcmillan remember his party he were ran for governor in the great

state of new york with the rent is too damn high party i remember clearly what a fantastic character well they were from some famous clips of him on stage in debate andrew cuomo and he was like i read today much i hear that hunger mother out here i can't do his voice but he was very funny anyway you know he's kind of considered old school now because he went the legit route you know he tried to campaign to get rent control and reduced prices on rent and rent stabilization and when the political route he campaigned in activism and that sort of thing to get politicians to help with the whole rent situation that we're seeing across many cities in america over the past decade certainly sense the financial collapse and here's the

headline is showing that there's a new wave of millennia old on the scene and they are not happy but they're not taking it to the stage like jimmy mcmillan they're taking it to the streets a new generation of anti gentrification radicals on the march in los angeles and around the country so this is yahoo finance and they go out into the streets of los angeles they talk to defend boyle heights and their sister group the boyle heights alliance against our art washington displacement but head boyle heights for those who don't know is in east los angeles is to. of downtown l.a. which use of course be skid row very impoverished very dangerous when i lived in los angeles it was very scary down there but now it's hipster ville very expensive new apartments there it's. changed beyond all recognition but now these boyle heights activists are seeing the signs of gentrification coming to

their neighborhood and they are fighting back more in a malcolm x. kind of way if jimmy mcmillan is you know martin luther king jr these guys are malcolm x. and they are taking it to the streets they're basically forcing out art galleries and hipster coffee shops because they link those two to gentrification and increasing rent the shock troops of gentrification are hipster coffee shops and art galleries and once they appear this group and like minded are pushing them out and they're doing so in an aggressive way right they're like committing vandalism basically they're committing lawbreaking activity to push out in a in a hostile way in an aggressive way the gentrification as a way to stop this rolling tide of of high price of.

change cavuto so many people talk about that but what we're seeing in america in the past ten years especially is remember when we were children it was depopulation from the city center and people were afraid that danger and the violence of the move to the suburbs the white flight and then now it's the opposite is all the millennial children of you know upper middle class mostly white families are moving into the cities driving up rents rents are very expensive for these families of the latino and mexican and black families are being driven out by the high rents but like i'll tell you how radical it is from what they themselves these defend boyle heights put on their blog when they were organizing a february seventh protest in square which is over there boyle heights east los angeles and they said gentrification is not. your next documentary topic gentrification is not

a trend for the wool wide web or for the detached subculture of the left to consume it is a vicious protracted attack on poor and working class people and we are again in class warfare that leaves our friends families and neighbors homeless devastated deported or dead so get with down friends and make crack so this is them inviting people out to their february seventh event and they were basically marching on an art gallery and demanding they go and so that the real estate agents wouldn't come in and basically try for friends you know saw the article and i read through the article so they're making the distinction between this particular campaign and previous ones where the been more genteel in those campaigns are they well placards they do marches and they try to get awareness and we don't want judges for geisha and this group and others are saying that that doesn't work we're getting more militarized you know getting more aggressive or getting more militant or getting more class war like i mean the so they're they're engaging in vandalism and

violence i mean that's the bottom line to push the money yet they're making it basically so that it's not basically they're making it very impolite they're very they're putting graffiti on these buildings so there was like an experiment to our proper group that was supposed to be marching through the streets of boyle heights and this was in order to attract hipsters and bring in the gentrifiers but they they took their own trombones and other horn instruments and started by drowning them out so they follow them wherever they go there is this one woman who is opening an art gallery in boyle heights and she also has an art gallery in new york city and i think brooklyn in fact with all the hipsters live there and she herself lives in the upper east or west side of manhattan and they surround her they travel across the u.s. and a hash tag who'd solidarity tore. and they go to brooklyn in surround her art galleries there and drown her out like they taunt her wherever she is so she stays out of

boyle heights now because this boyle heights group has been so successful they their methods are spreading across the united states the other expensive cities as the article points out as a result like minded groups and other cities chicago austin new york have adopted the same hardline tactics their ranks are small and their methods are controversial even within the communities they purport to defend but their members are drawn from the most politically radical economically anxious generational cohort in recent memory young millennial is of color and their cause has the makings of a national movement a new more militant war on gentrification so member these millennial is are as article points out graduating if they are able to go to university graduating with massive debts unlike the boomer generation before them or the generation x. they have these get economy jobs precarious jobs their incomes are lower seventy

five percent of those living in boyle heights at the moment rent so they can afford to own and now these. gentrification class is moving and able to buy these properties drive up rents drive these people out and put in their hipster coffees and i saw this belies two key american myths one is the melting pot and the second is the radio alagiri myth of of the bootstrapping anyone can succeed in america who works hard so this is a whole group of people a whole generation in america who's saying that there is no melting pot we're not being assimilated there's no opportunities and we can't move so their response especially is to go into conflict and this is a major conflict this is conflict across the country with a whole generation in a way that is becoming. the response to this can can only be as forceful as this as as the as the hostility that we're seeing on the street right. well j.f.k.

jr said it. came south said it that you know if you if you don't allow a way for these people to be heard then they turn to the streets basically violence and revolution becomes the only option for certain people so the article does point out that inequality in two thousand and sixteen the top one percent made eighty seven times more than the bottom fifty percent of workers from a twenty seven to one ratio in one nine hundred eighty the c.e.o.'s made to introduce seventy one times more on average than the typical employee a nine hundred thirty percent increase since one nine hundred seventy eight so the trend has been worse and worse for them and this is now after decades of polite conversation and attempts for polite activism and going on stage as jimmy mcmillan did in trying to debate andrew cuomo about the rent being too high and he was became a national like me comedy everybody's laughing about it but the concern is very real for these people and regarding this woman for example with this gallery and

boyle heights they talk to one of the women who she runs the boyle heights alliance again art washing and displacement bad art washing the new one well i guess it's our washing so when you see the gallery come in dear neighborhood. pirtle high high and art from on known artists it's a sign of the becoming transformed in a way that's on affordable you know the terms white washing or green washing well blue washing there also white washing is basically providing like the u.k. does that all the time they have an inquiry an inquiry is official and it's lords and ladies who run these inquiries and they present a report that white washes the crime that happened by saying well some terrible things up and people feel really bad about it but so that's white washing our washing is using artists. to wash the community to gentrify the community so

artists are being used to get rid of all these latino and black faces from the communities is what they feel so we guarding that woman that i talked about the art gallery owner who has a place in brooklyn and she has this place and book and they're shutting down these are gallery so finance is following these group of activists from boyle heights and one of the guys that they talk to he's asked why they're stopping why they're actually going after art galleries that seem so barbaric right well he said three five six mission they're really smart in the past they used to do black events people of color events empowering workshops and trans people so that identities i don't give a if someone is black or brown or disabled if they're gentrifiers they deserve to die so pretty harsh language there and pretty extreme but this is the sort of

militancy and their determination to stop art galleries and all the amenities that the real estate agents then use to promote their expensive luxury eight thousand dollars a month apartments in this new complex want to make up the crunch what about cheerios. the cereal cafe in other words in the east end of london one of the signs of really terminal gentrification was the parents of the cereal cafe so hipsters are paying five six bucks or pounds for a little bowl of captain crunch cereal to you know have the feelings that they had is children to feel good again and so if you see a cereal café show up in these neighborhoods you know that that is a sure sign of on the road to hell well perhaps in london but i think

americans are kind of beyond that because we go.
