it's there's a lot of things going on but you know and of course now it's literally trees and according to people to point out that. everything just gets quickly assume and it's sort of brushed over by it once you know details start getting out for you know you know screw up all you have all these answer is russia and meddling all of this and the minute you start asking for actual evidence it's. well go away because they have to talk for three hours about what was in cohen's office how many porn stars he either pay you to or who somebody had an affair with and the truth is it doesn't this you can't actually investigate human rights in a situation like in syria during a war of course there are human rights violations it's a war it's a war that's how it works that's the other thing too is everyone has this like magical idea that somehow like whatever side you want to side with only does no wrong what so well the u.s. gives equal access to our military walks and sandwiches and allowing everything

else and says plea is and facts that not just because it. was don't occur only barrel. it's really a bomb is a bomb if you're if you're gassing people are dropping a bomb on somebody it's no different everyone's going to die at the end of the day you know so there's really no different and it's interesting when you look at what just happened was you had award winning journalist robert spencer who was one of the few people who got to actually interview us some of in-law that's true yeah and he hardly just some guy he. showed some light on what happened and the you know it were the doctor witnessed the famous video being shot said that the video was genuine but the victims in it weren't experiencing the aftereffects of a gas attack but rather a lack of oxygen you know with the remaining civilians and rebel soldiers look like hiding out in fragile underground tunnels and everything else that makes sense to me a bomb drops you lose oxygen in the tunnel there's dust crazy all of that and then when people come rushing in to us. start yelling gas everyone panics and that's

what you saw in the videos that's just as logical and we should be asking questions about that i don't understand where we lost the ability to ask questions that i raise my hand and say hey this just just convinced me so a little bit more before we have to go kill people that want to knock down my doubts about our military stop that our intelligence community i don't understand why that's a bad thing now all right as we go to break lock watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on our facebook and twitter pages see our full shows at our teeth dot com coming up we talk of surprises and kendrick lamar with author watkins so stay humble and stay tuned to watching the hawks. play for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside guides. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion

from the families it's the age of the superman each kill the narrowness and spending children twenty million and one player. it's an experience like nothing else going to be true so i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful game but great so will transfer. and thinks it's going to take. four men are sitting in a car when the feds get shot in the head. all four have different versions of what happened one of them is on the death row there's no way he could have done it there's no possible way because the list did not shoot around a corner. elliston is getting

international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos i'm in bill fiddlesticks mission to do it looking for you like you know that this isn't my cup of tea is going up the study hall maybe a bit. john no doubt i just hope. the only palestinians it gets the most help from its jerusalem counterparts i don't think this is of those ruined under the oak vision that not only could get it. and the earth is off at night it's got to this lady of the most of the jihad i don't want to compete in the doesn't seem to do more among us also don't piss off. we all still living with a lot of conflicting us when does when you're willing to situation in syria to the rest of the middle east to the problem between so did any of you and iran now that i'm going to can president is that i and you know to withdraw under some obstacle

odetta we heard that the so did are ready to go down. on their gone so with can be in the end the will to fail the reason the situation is better better than yours. on monday while the world was just racked up by syrian air strikes f.b.i. raids and john hannity and amazing thing happened on the way to this year's pulitzer prize awards for the first time pulitzer prize history a hip hop artist was given the legendary award for his me a work in music this year the artist was they have pop virtuous so out of compton california kendrick lamar for his twenty seventeen out album titled quite simply and poignantly. and trust me when i say that they don't get more culturally

historic than this and knowledge meant by the award committee for country sport because this which works the very first time a pulitzer is over one hundred year history that the award was given to a musician working outside of the classical or jazz. what else can one say but. this is quite a cultural game changer but as the thirty year old himself stated in his song high power build your own parents write your own hieroglyphs to help us break down the historic an important win for both have a black culture is also a teacher and lecture. welcome. to you guys during the good good deal was a pleasure to have you back and i think i want to start first of all you know many questions and really important conversation to have about this because it's such a game changer because it's kind of reshaped culture. in my opinion is did you first did you ever imagine a world conflict with mars suddenly appear would surprise wedding musician and for

those that don't understand you know why is kendrick's so important. so i have i have mixed feelings about it. i'm so happy that he got that word because people are finally starting to give him the recognition it deserves on the other side of the spectrum like the secret's out like you know because one of the cool things about hip hop is that the language is so fast it's sort of cold in the fall of so much that the critics the people in these places are they're not really able to decode them so they don't really know what we're talking about what we have going on but i think it's extremely important because the album is brilliant he's a brilliant person and it's great to see a person like kindred get it was right you can still smell yeah yeah it's very interesting and i think there's there's been a cultural shift happening for a while now you've had l.l. cool j. getting. honored by the kennedy center. jay z. inducted in the sunrise and now black panther is now the third highest grossing

film of all time inside the united states is this truly can we now say that there is there's a black renaissance and culture and art happening. it is a black a renaissance had i mean to mainstream yeah and this was like you know happened in sas in spain click here for years like there's been brilliant albums put out every year and what this moment what i would really really really like a lot of people to do is to you know especially people who are. who go out and read about the journalism when these prizes or read about the art there's a listen to the classical music. composers will get this to work i want them to sit back and digest this album because he said the heavy stuff about mental illness about depression about the black experience about so many different things that capture an american experience that a lot of people don't understand he has one son right when he talks about his dad

we're going to chicken shack and a guy who owns the record label that he works for was robbing a chickenshit. when the guy with the route of the chicken shack the only reason why he didn't shoot the cashier who was kids instead of the son is because he used to throw extra biscuits so the song is he says if anthony killed ducky this father you know. if anthony killed the top dog would be serving life while i grew up without a father and probably die in a gunfight like yeah this is like langston is bad exactly i think certainly important people have that disconnect between music and poetry but the words and how much those words mean especially with have pop and i think it's it even now you even look at like the doors and you look at the poetry of those words and not separate so easy to see it and how powerful it is and that's i think what a lot of us are drawn to for is is how much the message of it and it's nice to see that that actually coming to get recognized get it right and like you said it's

kind of it is the feeling of who the secret's out now because a lot of our generation white black whatever we grew up with hip hop you know we saw it explode in the ninety's and and one thing that's interesting about this wind is there's been some heavyweights for kendrick you know you talk you know the tories b.i.g. . to park jay z. . rock you know. there's plenty of people that go back to where you can say like. you know. they equally could have won this you know so why do you think it was kendrick who kind of broke this ceiling and tore down this wall why you know it was his time in history it's what's going on right now like you know they. would in the beginning you know you have you know jay z. going to songwriters hall of fame these these these places are starting to accept us war and it's just this time i think if we could go back to some of those same albums like the tour is

a life after death you know straight up you know it might just as dirty you to come it's with us but it's better than everything away because of a rich. it's better like but it's his time it's just his time so i think you know we've got to capitalize on this moment to utilize the power of music to connect this because even though. it captures a certain american experience it's something that all of us can relate to and it's heavy it's so heavy. one of my favorite tracks is where they talk about where he talks about he has a friend who comes to him and acts him to pray for because. his child was killed just like you know i'm not praying i'm ready to go to war like who is rational in a situation like that and why are we even telling people that you know as a metaphor for life why are we telling people that ok something really bad happened to you but you know you're just going to be ok like you'll get a chance to process that in the process to hate or react or on it you know that's

a part of it i think is what. you know kids growing up in the midwest what we get out in the in the growing up and coming of age in the eighty's and hearing that music and understanding that our lives were different and really having that connection that i think is so important with music and culture of every kind. amanda crew set in the new york and the new yorker that normally in pulitzer history disruptive john arise are often only raw. actively acknowledged usually decades after commercial and creative zenith but i want to pulitzer prize in an era which rap music is alive and as pervasive as of as ever been what does this mean. moving forward it's it's one of the rare times in history where john and artists are finally being recognized while they're making the music not fifty years later when they're ninety because we're you know who's a. bob dylan didn't get recognized until like

a couple years back by pure luck for all the work that he's done over the years it's happier game and be recognized for a while it's happening you know to me it means when next. to me yes you know because part p.t.o. young progressive people are starting to get these positions and somebody was in a rut like no you need to listen to somebody in a room went to the gatekeeper who's probably sitting there with like oxygen his or her own and going to have less leg and they went up to them and they said look you need to listen to what is saying it's never been like this before now is the time we need to seize this moment in the world will be better and will be able to sit back and say you know what we did that you know it's interesting that i just thought of the d.s. and author as someone you know you you put your life out there through words and expression and all of that disruptive person that you're going to get when you're not let and you've been you know you've been a claim for the work of the books you've written them and i think like with

kendrick not that you can speak for him but you know i think it's important value this is a lot of pressure now on him you win an award like this now suddenly your next album better be fire you know you know you don't you got it right but i also feel like i also felt like the pressure was already on because he has been propelled to the king of rap like there's a lot of people making great music he he came out of a great class he has j. cole and he has. you know. you know create janet tronic and all these different people coming out of his class. who should be free really soon but he has these people coming out of his class and like he's propelled to the top of all of them like nobody nobody's touching them sort of pressure was already there. and now he's going to pressure from like journalists and writers and commentators like that because he has the will or thoughts of the connection with certain things and the people he's worked with and the songs that have come out that he's been on it's almost like. if you see country them are on

a song with beyonce or somebody you know it's it's going to be real why you know it's going to here's one thing is i love seeing hip hop do this because it does it does it's a unifier it does bring everybody together and i think at the end of the bay and that's the most important thing why in your mind do you think hip hop's reach the world the way that i think. because so many people around the world i live in these oppressed. you know. of the old pressed this you know hip hop astray from the blues you know this de-funding the beauty that we have amongst ourselves when you can do nothing but have fun over like a fifty cent box of cards you know and then it's also talking about their pain from the label to experience any type of social mobility and then on top of all of that to be hypnotized and you know you go to seven and clubs and people would das and then they could be like it's two o'clock you gotta go and he did bring it into the

parking lot like it doesn't really stop so i think i think it's the hip hop is made up of so many other different elements and types of music samples from every general from country to radio. and you know and this is when you wanted to be one of the you said it listen to it there's a sense of what it all was as you have made a kid the midwest you could be used to say thank you so much brilliant analysis is always do walking and is author and lecturer. there are many monday in human tasks that unfailingly result in copious amounts of stress errors and profanity crime among members on avoidable rite of passage for any starter home dweller the nerve racking process of assembling ikea furniture but it wouldn't be the twenty first century if you vaunted field of robotics didn't have the solution lo and behold there is one now and not only does this yet unnamed revolutionary robot out of singapore managed to assemble the dreaded ikea furniture. without profanity laced

more dads arrange their videos purporting to show the aftermath of an alleged chemical attack in syria's duma an r.t.a. three visits a place is seen in the footage and speaks to eyewitnesses. founder of the inclusive blackwater security group has reportedly been contacted by gold for officials to help create an arab force in syria to replace u.s. troops after their withdrawal and facebook quietly moves one point five billion of its uses out of the use legal reach just as the block is about to force new data protection rules.

hello there well can you watching out international this friday afternoon which just turned three o'clock here in moscow now a video footage that was seen around the world at the start of the month claim to show the aftermath of an alleged chemical attack in syria is now being called into question the team from our sister channel r.t. arabic visited the town of duma earlier discussed what they saw there with hugo she done what we've seen so far from this place was and much mostly it's been a video released by the white helmet activist group you're looking at right now it's shot in the hospital and it's shows some truly heartbreaking pictures these scenes of chaos of panic confused children being holds down with water everything pointing at a potential chemical attack but are to rob a crew managed to talk to a boy who was featured in this video of the white house and he gave his account

of events in that hospital have a listen and then we were outside and they told all of us to go into the hospital i was immediately taken upstairs and they started pouring water on me do you remember where it happened. here with the hose or is it here it is. that the poured water on me they put me here and then took me out serious to my mother where exactly up stairs the second floor. up stairs over there valerie. sorry so the doctor started filming us here they were pouring water and taking videos and then my father came and found me someone had told him we were here so he came and took me away i luckily i didn't know she was being seen i went up stairs and saw my wife and children i was very

surprised and asked what had happened when my son's eyes were red i found out that it was water but it was cold and he could have got sick he was undressed when i took my son first told me that they still needed him but i still took him away from . the boy is clearly in shock still to have to go through something like this or to go through such terror at his age is unthinkable really we've reached out to the white helmet westing in statement of some reaction to what's being what's being filmed in duma right now but we're still to hear back from them even as i understand there was other footage from the alleged senior of the attack was and yes indeed there was another video released by another activist and it is apparently from an apartment building where the actual chemical project tile the alleged chemical projectile landed this is the initial video that we're showing you right now and this is the project we our crew again managed to get inside this very building so to the left you can see our video and to the right is the original one

and initially how the media reacted to the first the released video well they saw it as rock solid evidence of a chemical attack the chemical weapon that killed dozens of civilians and astaire's that the asshead regime has previously used in chemical attacks the assad regime has used this same yellow gas canisters the nic telling fox news they have a high degree of confidence that it was yours apparently the project was still toxic was still fuming with the something toxic and that's why they had to wear a mask to protect themselves but we've spoken to a number of experts and they've told us that i mean a gas mask is basically not enough to protect. one cell from a toxic substance if that were a nerve agent whether he's got his base covered or not it's going to go right through his skin and the only protection that he could have is that whole body were in a chemical control suit if there were chlorine gas that would protect him from from

some small leaking of the chlorine gas for a while and it doesn't make any any any sense i could see it going through a roof and never even breaking it's a silly way and even if it did great go the dispersal of the chlorine might only kill the people in the room or what not even people outside the room had time to get out now and international chemical watchdog is carrying out its investigation into my to we know what level of what stage they're at now in the investigation well the o.p.c. inspectors the fact finding mission they are in damascus but they so far have not been able to and to do much it's not safe u.n. security mission they went to the city of do mine with the syrian army and they came under small arms fire so far it's not safe enough but this whole endeavor is as some would be rendered well almost a relevant i should say because the retaliation for the chemical for the chemical attack that's there's no confidence yet in the fact that even happened in the first

place but the retaliation is already there the u.s. the u.k. and france launched more than a hundred missiles to strike targets they believe this side government are using to produce chemicals right now the big intrigue is what the official investigation is to show whether or not the attack happened. well it's not just the white helmets videos that are raising questions at the moment the group's also come under fire from the pink floyd co-founder roger waters for trying to lobby his support in the syrian war some time ago the so-called syria campaign which is linked to the white helmet sent me this year in an e-mail inviting him to a fund raising dinner in the same message he was also encouraged to watch a documentary about the group however waters had his dance i was quite suspicious after i was invited to that white helmets dinner now my worst suspicions have been confirmed on the face of it it felt plausible that the white helmets were just good people doing good things but now we know they're trying to encourage the

west to drop bombs or missiles illegally in syria. today before he was due to give a show in barcelona waters' was then contacted by a french journalist working for the white helmets the reporter asked for a few moments on stage to deliver a message to the children of syria ortiz declined that request as well and instead hit out at the white helmet during the concert of white americans. saying. both my solution to this is really complicated. issue how to use. this to the propaganda of the point home it signals as we would be encouraged to encourage our governments to go and start dropping. serious. but we have contacted white helmets for comment although so far we're still waiting for a reply in the meantime we've spoken to journalists nattie contributor max blumenthal he is the one that roger waters handed his e-mails to. i've known roger waters for

several several years and i reached out to him. after this incident in barcelona where he denounced the white house myths and he provided me with these e-mails. and he also gave me comments basically warning other celebrities not to sign on to the syria campaign's efforts to promote the white helmets so waters essentially had lost his patience and has decided to go public with this warning and i think he stands apart from a lot of other celebrities who don't do their research and who want to be affiliated with feel good humanitarian campaigns so you know i hope that this is that roger's broken the ice here but western media appears to be completely closed off to the facts about the white helmets and i'd wonder if other celebrities will continue to sign on. joint strike on syria led by the u.s. came not long after president trump had been promising to pull american troops out

of the country however there are now reports of a new force being assembled in the event of a u.s. withdrawal more on this is not against you to leave or to stay it's a tough one. i want to get out i want to bring our troops back home i want to start rebuilding our nation we are in syria fight isis and that is our mission and the mission isn't over and we're going to complete that mission america says it wants out of syria but not before its goals are accomplished which could take a while and get real dirty what do you do well that's what friends are for we have asked our partners to take greater responsibility for securing their home region saudi arabia it seems has volunteered for the difficult task of sending troops to sit on oil fields in eastern syria apparently saudi arabia has

been volunteering pretty hard and pretty long we're in discussions with the us and have been since the beginning of the syrian crisis about sending forces into syria now here's the thing those arab troops would have to be trained the u.s. could do it but no not off that what happened last time all the last times the iraqi forces just showed no will to fight. they were not outnumbered by in fact they vastly outnumbered the opposing force and yet they failed to fight they withdrew from the site we have an issue with the will of the iraqis to fight i saw and defend themselves so if the pentagon doesn't want to get involved there's conveniently.
