members are still out there one of them it turns out has been living in germany for over twenty years now and has been getting welfare payments to boot he's been named in the media as sami a he's a tune is he a national and he's believed to have joined al qaeda in afghanistan back in two thousand and illegibly worked as one of osama bin laden's bodyguards because he was already a german resident by that point he dented germany three years prior a need on a student visa when he came back he filed an asylum request that was denied in two thousand and six and a court in germany described him as an acute and considerable danger to public security but a higher court subsequently overrode the deportation order and they cited concerns that this man sami a would be subjected to torture back home in tunisia now sami a was never actually charged with terrorist activities in germany but all

sources deemed him a security risk and he has to report to a police station on a daily basis here and this whole story has been unearthed again because it's caught the attention of the alternative for germany party they're the ones that put in a request with the regional authorities to find out the status of this man and how much money he's getting in benefits payments and it's triggered harsh criticism from both the f.d.a. party but also from senior voices within the angular merkel's own c.d.u. party german asylum laws being shamelessly exploited here do we have to give tax money because we cannot i have no understanding of these cool. now this situation where suspected terrorists used human rights laws to avoid deportation is by no means the new here in the u.k. there have been similar cases last year a government report a home office report he revealed that over. forty foreign born terrorists had

avoided deportation from the u.k. i think the reason this case went sami a gemini has caused so much concern is because it's very hard to stomach this idea that somebody who's a suspected terrorist is getting government money well when it comes to asylum in germany political scientists who were part celt told us that the whole system needs to rethink the shortcomings of the german legal system and the fact that we are not ready to handle these complicated issues of immigration of asylum seekers we have to deal with this person as we deal with all other persons of this crime the thorny issue is there are states like tunisia that do not simply accept the return of their citizens to the contrary then do narcs make any a formation that they would not torture there when going back this is an open diplomatic problem we have a new with

a public discussion with our law system is adequate and is well fitted for handling these problems and without any doubt that in the course of these legislative term we would have further clarification of. our tears obtained images of an underground tunnel network used by syrian rebels in the town of duma and we will show you that exclusive video after a short break you're watching are today. global war hawks selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles they don't want. to do socks credit tell you that somebody gossips a couple of bush files of the most important news today. off the bad guys and tell me you are not cool enough and wants to fight their product. all the hawks that we along with all those walking.

when lawmakers manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the final merry go round of lives only the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. the real news. about this is r t international as the syrian military words to secure complete control of the battle scarred city of duma kilometers of rubble built tunnels have been discovered r.d.s. exclusive images of the vast subterranean network that helps to sustain the

islamist insurgents. still while they starved this they harass the us they moved around in our blood as you see these tunnels are massive they make catches work on them as well as civilians that they wouldn't feed those who refused to work and you can see how big they are and how much they have in there is like a city beneath a city. we would be taken to the spot where the fighting with the and they would give as a matter fifteen minutes before it started they showed us how to act and whom to shoot the guy he told us what to do you would then disappear after that it all

depended on luck before the fighting they used to tell us about you had these martyrs of g. . and of our heroic death on the battlefield but other times they treated us like dogs. the russian defense ministry has displayed fragments of several missiles recovered from syria it says that the missiles had either malfunctioned or failed to reach their targets they were part of the barrage launched by america the u.k. and france earlier this month and has more. well as you know we've been bombarded with two different versions of events of those strikes that hit syria in mid april and today the russian defense ministry really upped the ante by providing some actual tangible evidence of those missiles that it says were either intercepted or simply malfunctioned and this is going to be an embarrassing development for the u.s. side which had lauded the success of those one hundred five as strikes which it said was were precise and overwhelming also dismissing any suggestions by russia that

any of those missiles being intercepted also insisting that the syrian defense capabilities had been largely ineffective with syrian missiles merely being fired into open air take a listen with way over one hundred missiles they didn't shoot worn down the equipment didn't work too well they were equipment and they didn't shoot one you know you heard all the show forty and then they showed fifty and there were. no sure every single one of. the russian defense ministry also went into detail earlier about the targets of those one hundred five missiles twenty two only twenty two of those one hundred five missiles actually hits their intended targets and it's been revealed at that that they actually hit civilian objects rather than the ledge chemical supplies the u.s. has been so persistent upon take a listen just to cute. some of the missiles don't reach the targets apparently due

to malfunction they were threat to civilians there in civilian buildings at the same time the logic of the u.s. u.k. and france in choosing the targets is unclear you see there were stockpiles of toxic agents there if they were hit by cruise missiles this could lead to widespread poisoning and if it was for damascus itself tens of thousands of people could have died so this latest development is probably going to deal or blow to the u.s. presidency ego as well he had boasted as so optimistically about the performance of his missiles and after those strikes even. his popularity and on the up and with his approval rating jumping a few percentage points so this turnabout is not something we could expect him to let lie. russia's consulate in the u.s. city of seattle has now officially been shut down with police patrolling the perimeter after reportedly breaking the locks on the main gate of the premises and earlier on wednesday two cars arrived outside right before the deadline set for

it's a freedom to give a that's my opinion of my belief. to live here to give otherwise it's. i muchly christian jewish people belong to the same group of religions as i do i'm here to show my support what's happening in germany right now is no good we've seen people beaten simply because they're wearing a kippah schools have to be protected at all times kindergartens as well this is unacceptable as we've seen from some of those people we just heard for this isn't just the jewish people that have come out wearing the yarmulke in support of the jewish community here in berlin people from all faiths have done the same thing now we have seen a recent rise in anti semitic attacks. we have seen a recent rise in under semitic incidents in germany in general some of those involving schools now we did hear from the german chancellor angela merkel who had this to say about recent arrivals and their contribution towards the un systematic

problem in germany right now noir we have a new phenomenon as we have many refuges among whom there are for example people of arab origin who bring in another form of anti-semitism into the country unfortunately and to cement isn't existed before that. and it's that that's prompted thousands of people to come out here all night of the streets of the german capital to say you know challenge the semitism in this city and you know to of the semitism in all its forms. a photo journalist from gaza has died of a bullet wound he sustained while documenting a demonstration close to the israeli border earlier this month twenty five year old . justin was shot in the stomach by an israeli defense forces sniper he is the second a journalist to have been killed while covering the ongoing great march of return protest campaign and was reportedly working at a permissible distance from the border fence when he was hit. the i.d.f.

at the top of the agenda a gathering of the group's foreign ministers and canada argues jacqueline volga has more. the g seven a club of some of the world's leading industrialized nations tackling the planet's biggest problems from financial crises to military conflicts but it's also the g. eight minus russia and it seems they just can't help talking about the member that they kicked out last year was the focus of the g seven foreign and security ministers meetings in toronto the g seven foreign ministers are calling attention to so-called malign behavior by russia they were expected to look at ways to keep pressure on russia without imposing new sanctions for two days g. seven foreign and security ministers rub shoulders in toronto at an event with the tagline building a more peaceful and secure world and apparently for that to happen first and foremost russia needs to be put in its place then things like war and world hunger can be addressed just like last year and the year before that and so on because you see in ukraine and russia's actions all of the very reason for the g seven brussels

summit this is now the second year in a row that the g. seven has met without russia another example of russia's isolation ukraine is the victim of russian aggression we must never forget that fact if i think about the position that if you put you know he's you know he's so far he's the repeat of russia now this time around it included a whole laundry list of russia issues condemn russia's irresponsible and destabilizing behavior check demand such alleged actions cease immediately struck agree that it is highly likely moscow poisoned sergei screwball and his daughter and that there's just no plausible alternative check and the acting u.s. secretary of state went to far as to tell reporters that russia has to be a quote constructive partner in syria or be held accountable so to be fair they did manage to cover a lot of ground it just more often than not happened to be russia related let's just hope they can avoid getting too carried away with their plans. what we decided

was that we were going to set up a g seven group that would look at russian behavior in all this money for stations whether it's cyber war whether it's this information assassination of whatever it happens to be and collectively try and call it out and the hostile it may not have reached its peak either this meeting was perhaps just a preview of what we can expect when the leaders of the g. seven countries come together in june to tackle the russian mess. the pursuit of beauty has contributed to a humiliating of fall from grace of the former leader of spain's madrid region christine. resigned earlier on wednesday after a video emerged showing her being caught red handed.

that does it for mail be back with more of the top the hour watching our international live from moscow. to. join me

every thursday on the alex salmond chill and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see that. the two koreas are on the verge of signing a peace treaty a donald trump summit is in the works is peace coming to the korean peninsula well it's possible in the foreign policy blog in the corporatists media are less enthusiastic after all conflict is very business model. greetings. are you having a bad day i having to choose between paying your student loan this month or buying your niece

a birthday present and you're forced to buy cheap fast food over expensive healthy food working two jobs just to keep the lights on well have no fear because in case you didn't know comcast yes comcast cares they do last saturday april twenty first marked the seventeenth annual comcast cares day the annual once a year event the reminds our service slaves and plebian is just how much our friendly neighborhood corporate media conglomerate truly cares about all of us vassals paying for their nice suits and golden parachutes take a listen as comcast employees imus and b c analyst nicole wallace and reverend al sharpton hyped comcast big day of giving while sitting just inches away from their corporate paymaster comcast senior executive vice president david cohn and if you look carefully hawk watchers while conan speaks you can still see the bloody carcass of net neutrality hanging from his to. term i was a big event here as we fell

a great comcast cares day now it's seventeen here it is believed to be the nation's largest single day corporate volunteer events is of at a show him here this is part of the cuts to people in this building and around the con kids were all excited about doing would go to do it for twenty four hours this is what i think that we could bring the world to women della wanted us you know we'll have over one hundred thousand employees members of their families and nonprofit partners volunteering tomorrow and over a thousand projects in more than twenty countries so it's really become a global effort. wait did al sharpton just infer that comcast is carrying on the work of nelson mandela. but it wasn't just the airwaves of morning joe where comcast was found patting itself on the backwards great dave charity according to splinter news dot com and b.c. affiliates across the nation pitched in and b.c. barrier ran a p.r.

sounding segment that was a lot like all the other one the sort of n.b.c. in fort worth texas n.b.c. ten and philadelphia n.b.c. four in los angeles n.b.c. five in chicago and n.b.c. connecticut just to name a few. how very sinclair broadcasting now let's actually practice some humility and start watching honks. but what if you get the. real thing. as you get to the bottom. like you that i got. this. week except. the one part of the robot and i'm topical oh. wow that is pretty incredible to like i read.

isn't the real point of charity to help people and not kind of pack yourself pat yourself on the back and gloat about it to the world but he's some kind of communist. you know this guy and why don't we just help people for the sake of helping people that's not how the world works. not how the world works we are in the end of cable giving cable comcast cares comcast cares you know because i mean i mean look no one notices that i'm not i'm not against the idea of a corporation like giving back i'm absolutely but this sort of self-congratulatory all over. the fast that was going on on m.s.n. b.c. is really sad you know it's really icky it was like you're not alone raz and you're not alone in feeling that way with because glenn greenwald tweeted today he tweeted out saying this is creepy and humiliated and muslim b.z.

devotes almost eight minutes of airtime on morning joe to heralding the humanitarianism of its own corporate owner comcast complete with combat cum cast executives touting themselves under the cairo on comcast terrorist. jones but yet the girl group these are the same people by the way that freak out and spend days talking about sinclair media having a must read on there and yes yes same. terms trying to figure out where of a. journalist that was right i wonder where that magical line as for journalism becomes not journalism. jobs of the fairness and i just reporting does a lot of good work you know he kind of had the raised eyebrow that i did you know comcast property unless it was you having it is nominally independent analyst and host doing a cultish comcast commercial is bad enough but al sharpton claiming comcast was current on the work of nelson mandela was something else. i mean al sharpton can make you know he's a visual thinking person he can compare anything he wants to judge without that's

his decision but it does seem a bit much in my mind while the giant corporate doing some charity work one day out of the year yeah i am i'm going to i'm going to just say this i'm not afraid of her i i'm not afraid of criticizing her for an al sharpton on this one to me it's very unsettling considering the blood that is on corporate america especially companies like comcast you have poor african-americans all over this country who are marginalized already and are kept out of things because people like comcast couldn't give them i don't know just basic internet to a community these are people who are not these are not good corporations bringing all of this joy and to sit there and be there just sort of shouting on corporate america is green and nonsense is a little weird but it's not something new though like this isn't as if this is never happened the new york times reported back in twenty fifteen that when comcast was looking to acquire and d.c.

universal and that comcast funded research and political groups were endorsing the deal but the new york times actually pointed out that a similar pattern is evident with charities like the urban league and more than eighty out. community groups that support of the media company and then also accepted collectively millions of dollars in donations to the comcast foundation over the last five years the question is how many people do you give money to will you report on them on your news stations with authority will you be able to tell people about a corporation or or each era of organization will you keep from saying bad things about them because you gave them money that's really interesting and it's very interesting good luck you know they of course comes as executives like lot of them said all of the money that we give to these charities does not influence them in supporting arse in the you know at the time of the n.b.c. universal merger without the there they just did that on their own free will because none of the money and help that you've given them over you know makes a difference and be always love when people use it as book you know way from one huge bloodsucking corporate monolith to another. story.

capitalism often stands a direct conflict with thriving you healthy human race and in the world of biotech investing in an april tenth two thousand and eighteen report released by goldman sachs to their clients analysts found that companies that produce permanent cures for diseases are a bad investment asking clients the. quandary is curing patients a sustainable business model in the report titled the genome revolution analysts noted that the potential to deliver a one shot cure is one of the most attractive aspects of gene therapy genetically engineered cell therapy and gene editing however such treatments offer a very different outlook with regard to recurring revenue versus chronic therapies while this proposition carries tremendous value for patients answers sidey it could represent a challenge for genome medicine developers looking for a sustained cash flow and the report they use a hepatitis c. cure made by gilly and sciences that have

a ninety percent cure rate through the eyes of goldman sachs finding a cure means less sick people according to goldman sachs in the cases of infectious diseases such as have to try to see curing existing. since also decreases the number of carriers of vailable to transmit the virus to new patients thus the incident pool also declines yes it does health care for the analysts who don't really seem to get it is supposed to make people healthy and prevent disease in others but as goldman sachs has proven with this report the people investing in our society's future don't really care about the people whose a lives are being lost in order to make sure that johnny investor gets a new summerhouse. wowsers. is a bloodsucking corporate beast to another blood sucking corporate b. . i believe in some circles. goldman sachs is known as the vampire squid i believe so in many circles because that is amazing so these guys are really saying

like they don't like it best to stay away from this company because there is a loser because they cure people when there is no money in the cure right because your profits will keep going up why don't. you have it i say i see you as what are you a cowardly i'm going to give my time to that yeah you're the brinks you know this is this is a grows yet each of these stores i mean look at the cost of how tight is secure is about ninety five thousand dollars for twelve weeks and. they carry a ninety percent of the predator curate that's that's what two thousand five thousand dollars a month and then you never have to take anything wow that's huge the library time cost for persons who become an hiv infected age thirty five is over three hundred thousand dollars sixty percent retroviral medications fifteen percent for other medications and twenty five percent of the group were targeted big money in all of this at the end of the day but we're talking cures for ninety five thousand dollars

not that much when you think about a cure and long term but when you're looking at it from an investment standpoint if you're looking at a company like which i think very funny bible bob. i was a universal cure. everything i'm so guilty of. that they're saying there's this danger to companies like that for investors and everything which i think is funny the company is founded one nine hundred eighty seven give you an outlook of why they're going after this company they focus on anti-viral drugs so that would be for things like hiv aids hepatitis b. and c. as well the company that makes tamiflu for those of you who actually have that so one of these usa is gilead was also the first former suitable company to sign an agreement with the medicines patent pool which is working to increase global access to high quality low cost and to retroviral anti-retroviral therapy through the sharing of patents they were listed as you know when you have some of goldman sachs say they're not worth it they're out there trying to actively bring the cost of these drugs down so that people can yet they're still making profits every year in

fact as of may twenty seventeen the company was listed in forbes magazine as one of the top one hundred public companies and sales profit and market value goldman sachs idea of these things is to invest now is to invest in larger markets in other diseases that are even harder to cure. to avoid over people if anything genetic their biggest scare their addressing disorders with high incidence this are things that happen a lot anything that affects the spinal cord in the a bill impacting the ability of their solution over to is impacting the ability to anything impacted to walk eat or breathe. and solution three is this constant innovation and portfolio expansion there are hundreds of inherited retinal diseases which is genetic forms of blindness pace of innovation will also play a role in future programs like an office of the climbing river revenue trajectory of crap prior assets the ideas let's go after things like that they can't cure that you just can't.
