not being in my place and therefore should be off my resignation. i'm. too strong to go through the world for my movie for the baroness margaret of proving to be one of the only survivor. but it's interesting now is that the party in power had now the conservative party is also getting increasingly frustrated with the house of lords a hardline gregg's it is in particular because the lords keep rejecting the regs that legislation that the government here is trying to push through rather embarrassing to reason may's administration has suffered fifteen defeats in the
10:31 pm
house of lords over the past few weeks and whenever the lords reject legislation that politicians in the commons are trying to push through there is always talk of a constitutional crisis because they say elected politicians are trying to enact the will of the people whereas the on the elected laws are blocking those efforts or holding them up at least and there is on the other side of the argument argue well it's the job of the house of lords to hold politicians to account and to scrutinise the laws that they are trying to pass. expect be different there are enough opioids power lead the waters off seattle on the west coast of america that show food toasted positive for drugs scientists say it reflects the high number of people in the surrounding area who take the substances. but what we eat and what we excrete goes into the puget sound telling me that there's a lot of people taking up to code on and you know in the puget sound area it's
10:32 pm
coming likely from the wastewater treatment plants so heard of it other than what it seems clean muscles were put into more than a dozen locations and three of the areas were later confirmed to be contaminated whilst water management it appears can't filter out these opioids furthermore it seems the muscles are unable to metabolize the drugs but others see life care and the other twist that's come out here is that they can even become addicted to these opioids work well this is the first time scientists have discovered the drugs and shellfish there they believe it highlights the extent of the nationwide opioid epidemic in the u.s. there's been more than two hundred thousand prescription overdose deaths in the u.s. since one thousand nine hundred ninety five since one thousand nine hundred ninety two and then in twenty sixteen overdose deaths of almost quadrupled six hundred fifty thousand opiate prescriptions are dispensed daily and there they think is the connection policy research andrew kolob me thinks that overprescription is behind the epidemic the real problem is not that you can detect toxic odone in shellfish
10:33 pm
the real problem is that over exposing the united states to this highly addictive drug has led to an epidemic of opioid addiction and overdose deaths in the united states doctors are prescribing opioids for very common problems where opioids should not be prescribed these are good medicines for treating pain at the end of life there are good medicines when used for a couple of days after major surgery but the bulk of the prescribing the bulk of the consumption in the united states is for long term common problems where opioids are much more likely to harm patients than help patients if other countries increase prescribe in the way we did in the united states i'm afraid that they will follow in our footsteps. this is us international live from moscow with me kevin though in this hour coming up a lot more including u.s. soldiers being linked to torture interrogations in secret prisons in yemen and congress demanding an investigation.
10:34 pm
10:35 pm
i gained quite a prize midnight moscow time now claims that u.s. military personnel interrogated detainees who've been tortured in secret prisons in yemen is no sink congress vote to demand the pentagon investigate those claims a u.n. report says that suspects at the sites are exposed to beatings electrocution and sexual violence so the accusation goes who are imprisoned in a metal cell in direct sunlight others were detained medical treatment while there are reportedly eighteen secret torture prisons in yemen and surrounding area in neighboring countries the sites are mostly run by one of the main u.s.
10:36 pm
allies in the region the united arab emirates those prisons were reported in an investigation by the associated press now their sources at the pentagon acknowledged that u.s. forces had indeed been involved in interrogations but denied any participation or knowledge of abuse even so american personnel could still be held liable for complicity in torture if they question detainees who had also been subjected to torture human rights advocates accuse the u.s. of inertia over this story the u.s. hasn't learned the lesson that cup rating with forces they're targeting detainees and ruling families apart is not an effective way to fight extremist groups. well the united arab emirates denies being involved in running secret prisons in yemen and refutes claims of being linked to torturing suspects political analyst morrow xmen says they should however be an independent investigation because not to be an executioner and then be the investigator you cannot be the judge and investigate and then execute but this is what the u.s. is doing basically the u.n.
10:37 pm
should be doing this should be the job of the u.n. the u.n. should be doing this investigation widely and with the support of the so-called civilized western world which is obviously not source of allies as we have seen with the tortures and as we have seen also with the cover ups this is what the u.s. has been doing all over the world in every base that it has every time they can't someone been allegedly someone who was linked to terrorism or at least someone who was against the u.s. imperial demands or requests inside of this country they are treated like animals even worse. billionaire philanthropist george soros is pouring millions of dollars into the campaigns of selected district attorney candidates in california and it's come to at the same time leaked documents reveal he's also spending millions on an anti bricks a group in the united kingdom next and caleb maupin looks at how far the bill in this fear of interest extends. now with all this talk of foreign meddling you would think that the activities of
10:38 pm
a hungry and billionaire pouring money into american politics might get more mainstream media play george soros is a long time liberal money man and right now he's trying to influence the election of district attorneys across the united states basically he's pouring money into the campaigns of prosecutors he thinks will enforce the law in line with his liberal politics my name is noah phillips and i'm running for district attorney we've got some work and some healing to do to rebuild trust so we can keep sacramento safe forever. now getting supported by george soros isn't always a plus the man has plenty of detractors what is the out of state billionaire funding no with phillips campaign not telling us no with an unethical dangerous wrong for. george soros has been sticking his nose into politics around the world for decades he started out funding anti communist dissidents during the late period of the cold war more recently he's been backing best for
10:39 pm
britain and anti brags that group in the u.k. we've got one mission and that is to try and stop breaks it george soros is foundations have along with a number of other major donors also made significant contributions to i would indeed through his foundations he's contributed four hundred thousand pounds he's been working to try and repeal the abortion laws in ireland. that tiffany's there have actually been deemed illegal with amnesty international being ordered by the authorities to return his donations that hasn't stopped him or even given him pause in trying to influence the politics of a foreign country that is just another example. outside interference by what you did was. very cute and it matters concerning where she is in the ocean surface recently experienced a few setbacks in hungary central european university which is very close to was
10:40 pm
unaccredited so what did he do to move it over the border into austria george soros has no problem crossing borders moving money and creating a ruckus in order to further his political agenda the man has actually gone as far as to speak of himself in divine terms i admit i have always hob with an exaggerated view of myself and putin's to put it bluntly i fancied myself as some kind of good or an economic reform alike or even both to a scientist like einstein but all this talk of washington corruption and big lobbyists don't forget about the big man himself george soros is globally oriented and he has no problem going to other lands and telling people how to live their lives they will mop and artsy new york american journalist might explode with hillbillies lobbying in the united states is actually a corruption disguised as a business. we get kind of a a cook narrative that leaves out the real source of corruption in washington which
10:41 pm
is our allies buying influence and taking american policy over the brink in the middle east foreign governments are paying billions of dollars into think tanks. lobbying firms and even hollywood in order to curry favor in the us the term collusion can certainly be applied to this lobbying this is the story i think that everyone in washington is missing out on because it's considered business as usual and it's basically collusion only takes place. as a grim new assessment of progress made by the united states and its drawn a mission in afghanistan government ordered to say efforts of stole the best and it was just a failing is don't quote you think that after sixteen years the u.s. led mission in afghanistan would finally have something to show for its trouble well here's how the federal authority tasked with overseeing reconstruction sees it
10:42 pm
. between two thousand and one and two thousand and seventeen years government efforts to stabilize and secure in contested areas in afghanistan mostly failed the us government greatly overestimated its ability to build and reform government institutions in afghanistan a pretty clear picture from cigar but top brass in washington though wants to assure you they have everything under control now looking at a twenty eighteen as president gandhi said he believes we have turned a corner and i agree. the momentum is now with the afghan security forces and the taliban cannot win in the face of the pressures that i outlined you think they're talking about two completely different wars but they've been at opposite poles before just last year cigar said the u.s. failed to properly mentor afghan forces let alone give them the momentum to beat the taliban with the enormous personal and financial sacrifices already made by
10:43 pm
afghans in their international partners the country my have relapsed to control by extremists and terrorists and again us generals are reading from an entirely different script. afghanistan special operations forces are becoming the best in the region and the afghan air force is neighboring those ground elements there is more work to be done and it will take time however this remains a very very worthy investment failing or not u.s. military leadership doesn't seem to be that bothered about how much this war is costing either flashback to twenty fourteen cigar reported that afghan reconstruction had exceeded the true cost of the marshall plan you know the us is project to reconstruct all of western europe after world war two yeah it sounds like a budget busting hefty price tag for american generals though it's a necessary expense to get things just right for a victory we should be seeking to win this war counterinsurgencies take
10:44 pm
a while i think we have gone a long way to setting the conditions for what generally would usually is the defining factor in winning a counterinsurgency which is to set the conditions for governments so that the conditions for the rule of law set the conditions for economic opportunity go back farther to two thousand and nine and things already weren't looking so good then president obama had committed over thirty eight billion dollars to repair efforts in the region and that money was going to who exactly. our office also initiated preliminary inquiry. into twenty three allegations of fraud waste and abuse even then u.s. military leaders optimistically saw the situation as a great springboard for their military campaign i'm not prepared to say that we have turned the corner but i think we have made significant progress in setting conditions in two thousand and nine and will make a real progress in two thousand and ten it takes a lot to keep that optimism up all these years but one thing the us generals might
10:45 pm
