yes that's the whole point if you don't know how many innocent people you've killed it's because you didn't pay attention in the first place let's let's be honest i don't think this speaks for a majority of soldiers of the group speaks for a majority of generals but there is a very real push with politicians and certain members of the military. who make these decisions that i don't think at the end of the day they care i jog or sleep don't think that they care anymore about how many innocent lives are lost because to them it's all about the profit it's all about the the overall mission you know it's we need to drop this many bombs there i mean amnesty international researchers they did they did their homework they visited forty two coalition air strike sites across the ruined city of raka they interviewed one hundred twelve civilian residents and i'm sure our military didn't take the time to do that when they tried to do their number counting on how many innocent lives were killed in this and they talk to hundred twelve civilians who all law you know who all not only survived all of this but then also lost loved ones the victims highlighted in this amnesty

report tell of that they cut across all socio economic ranges i mean you're talking you know everyone from one year old children one year old babies to eighty year olds imagine living in a city where your family your own family think about your own family and you lost let's say your sister or brother is one year old and also your grandmother who is eighty years old how are you going to feel about the country that does that to you regardless whether it's the united states or any other country dropping bombs on the city this is why i cannot stand warfare well it's the same reason when you when you go to baltimore and you ask people why they don't like the cops it's the same reason because they've watched their family members think killed by cop and the same holds true with when you see the u.s. military with a flag being the person who caused the death of your loved one you're going to have feelings about that organization you're not going to trust them you know and it's that's unfortunately put everyone in danger and the reason that they can't say you know why there are so many death. is how much artillery we're using it's. i mean

there's no other reason to put this much artillery into a space unless you're literally trying to wipe it off the map which is disturbing considering syria is probably in that area has had people in it civilizations for tens of twenty years thirty thousand years of the really bad so u.s. british and french coalition forces carried out tens of thousands tens of thousands of these air strikes the u.s. admitting to firing over thirty thousand artillery rounds during the offensive just rocco alone army sergeant major john wayne troxel the senior enlisted adviser to the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff had actually stated that in five months they fired thirty five thousand artillery rounds to targets in iraq and just for comparison in the invasion of iraq just over thirty four thousand rounds were fired during all of operation desert storm both the marines and the army fired a little bit more than sixty thousand are ellery around so that's how much of one city in one area what could possibly be law that's why there is no just

a for war and not something i use this is some great thing and we should not be going after them so there's better ways and there's better ways to handle warfare doing this kind of thing than just indiscriminately bombing cities at the end of a ditch ridiculous. according to actor brendan fraser in two thousand and three at the beverly hills hotel the former president of the hollywood foreign press association philip burke and not just a brush across the bum but a serious physical violation of fraser's body after what the organization claimed was an independent investigation they asked fraser to join to sign a joint statement the statement claimed that although it was concluded that mr burke and her touch mr fraser the evidence supports that it was intended to be taken as a joke and not as a sexual advance and that all parties consider this matter to be concluded including that the hollywood foreign press would like to continue to work with mr

freeze dear mr. serious response was as you would imagine he said i don't get the joke the most insidious thing about brendan fraser is experience is how ingrained the notion that actors are merely puppets to movie directors agents executives and their sleazy cohorts at places like the hollywood foreign press an organization whose members were brilliantly and simply described as a group of eccentric hollywood parasites sundra stanley of the new york times and bottom feeders by john powers of l.a. weekly and they're not alone nor are the victims and witnesses like brendan fraser and even myself we were told our shame and our pain med nothing that we should be silent or lose our careers maybe as more men come forward like brendan fraser we can break the bottom feeders of hollywood and beyond once and for all together. this is one of those important stories because i think a lot of water fight against the me too movement they want to say oh you know it's

changing time it was an experience comfortable now i'm going to watch what i say and do and it's not that bad we're joking well guess what it happens to men and women yeah you know i want it more stories do need come out before you realize this is something that beck doing all of us not just a small population. and we're all innocent we're all guilty of said this before and that show you don't know anyone who knows who's not guilty in this situation both seen it witnessed it fraser alleges that he was not allowed to see the report of the investigation which is ridiculous by the hollywood foreign press and only a summary of the report and then they expected him to publicly claim that he agreed with everything in it that's that's ridiculous especially for someone to violate but we see this happen to women all the time you know basically but aversion got treated like a woman in this situation which is was in your mind it was. just in their defense the age of pioli would former president spotted in

a statement saying quote we share the results of that in. mr fraser and begin apologize but also a good leader need to abide by the investigations binding that the extremes was intended searchable. doesn't matter of sexual misconduct is meant as a sexual because they're saying like well it wasn't intended so fraser's will oh so brendan fraser is supposed to be you know it's a compliment it was said joe if you read the description i suggest you do of what actually occurred there and to say that he doesn't know his own body the reports like oh no it wasn't it was just a brush it was a joke it was this no it doesn't matter that it wasn't intended it's not well i don't really want to sex with you so it was really just a power play it was just to make brendan fraser feel emasculated and little and weak in a professional atmosphere so doing exactly this is exactly what happens to women will squeeze your bum in the meeting and then no one will take you seriously exactly and that's how it works and if they think as i am glad you brought this up

it is not a rarity that sexual assault harassment happens to men it's not it's not and the statistics prove that it is a harder road and my in my experience a lot it's a harder road for men because of that inherent emasculation. it's a very it's a different way of shaming them and the idea is you're always told it's very rare you're an oddity oh you couldn't handle yourself you're too weak so the national incident partner and sexual violence survey and the centers for disease control there are there are studies of this have suggested that one in four men will experience some form of sexual victimization in their lifetime in two thousand and twelve the pentagon we talk a lot about you know the military and what happens the pentagon actually estimated that twenty six thousand and three hundred service members had experienced unwanted sexual contact i feel that's dangerously under reported obviously those numbers out

of the one point three. and soldiers there are fifty three percent of those that were reported involve tax on men by other men while in our military well this is a problem and the thing is we have to you know that's the thing about working together on these things is that we can't just brush off the brendan fraser as they you know that the terry crews we need to stand by them yes we do they're going to leave these men and most of the men are hiding to gather they hide each other there are pictures of the hollywood foreign press president back next to you know kevin spacey giving out awards there was there is collusion when there were this is about power at the end of the day exactly as we go to break clock watchers don't forget to let us know what you think about topics we've covered on facebook and twitter your poll shows that are too dog coming up we go from the grow to the straight the resurrection of the ukrainian journalist and the star case of secret agent poisoning in the u.k. with the host of parties going underground i should say to.

you. if you have a phone you know. what was the last digit you went on the internet no i am not used to meet these village is it safe to say. are you sure there is new jersey there and they are all going to be sure the baby doesn't go through his food

as the. president bill clinton who we thought. is dead as part of that was a good piece. of work i was. previously yes and no they are being false where he and his family member of the society. have. a. narrow.

tight. fit in the. getting to. be does she don't tell you that in seconds or. film the saying i'm going to assume that equal distance isn't what he feels this tells me. this i don't. know him to. deal with that devotional putting in this is. does that answer to overall. i don't think that we should get above all cells are young bred to be british but we are not a superpower and we should not pretend that we are as people we haven't got an empire any more we have one so i think there's

a limit to what britain can achieve on its own what we what we can achieve is is we work together to build world peace you're looking with other countries we're not going to do it this is a burden on our runs. earlier this year we had the bizarre poisoning case of yulia and survey scribble that the u.k. prime minister theresa may enjoy a full blown cold war frenzy tossing russian diplomats left and right like charlotte flayer in the royal rumble likes the public still has yet to be shown any real evidence connecting the actual poisoning to the russian government then just last week we had the incredible headlines coming out of ukraine that yet another russian journalist one arkadi. was found murdered sending russia gators in cold warriors the world over into

a tizzy until of course. showed up alive and well as part of some elaborate stunt to obtain a hit list of future potential journalist targets except as the guardian writes quote there has been no hard evidence published yet to link the plot to moscow or to explain why the fake death was necessary to obtain the names earlier we were joined by the host of going underground journalist and author to help us sort through these strange cases and the russian paranoia that follows. well in fairness in major nations no one's even talking about what's happening in. some butts of ukraine on the border of course with dawn yet and on the other hand of course we wish there were some journalists who who did die before their time michael hastings gary webb some of your competitor it's on the most dangerous places where journalists risk their lives in mexico iraq but you know on the statement a b.b.c. here in london on c.n.n.

we don't really hear about journalists deaths that much except when it is of course this guy about shanker you're talking about and it's not in the news at all it's less in the news than even maybe the death of that palestinian paramedic resident on the jar which there was no big who are about the fact that she was shot dead no they've just let it simmer a russian journalist was killed and then he came to life as suddenly perhaps more suddenly than what happened with the north koreans who the b.b.c. and other mainstream media television outlets reported had died in north korea re your gil just been appointed to become army chief of staff in north korea these these are miraculous obviously these deaths are being announced but when it suits geopolitical policies that nature recognizes exactly the media major media outlets

seem to fall in for this pretty quickly and when you went on social media you had major reporters you know the mainstream best of the best just immediately punching out that story spreading it even if they weren't talking about it on air that this is what russia does this is what happens here we have to be concerned what effect is that fervor to report anything negative on russia before their facts are and have what kind of factors that have on journalism today and what is it teaching future generations of journalists about how to deal with it how to report. well one is of course hoping that the public at large is going to start wondering why it is that as soon as stories like this emerge they're not double checked and triple checked they're just taken straight from the ukrainian secret services and hopefully the wider public will start to doubt the facts they are given even though

the governments major nations seem pretty brazen about it the british foreign secretary worth johnson tweeted very quickly this is not just a journalist these a government figures in the past twenty four hours forty eight hours while president putin of russia is still demanding consular access to the script files supposedly given a lethal military grade nerve agent but two are alive now germany the german government and i should say again there were voices from across europe giving their sympathies for the. bad cenk oh ukrainian case they're all saying there's zero evidence that russia was responsible for the lethal i keep saying lethal obviously is not lethal it is a military grade nerve agent that is not lethal that they're responsible for that it really is and credible and you mention the kind of hypocrisy that on one hand you know the old you kind of pass over very quickly over like you know michael

hastings and things like that but on the other hand you know they'll build well one something that fits the geo political scene where my question is do actions like this actually put journalists in more danger because if you think about it you know now if you hear of a journalist in peril now we're all going to say well are they really here when you see you know staged elements like this where it's like oh it was bad now he's alive and things like that you know it's kind of a boy who cried wolf syndrome. it could very well be the case but of course the point is that it was a journalist covering i don't know u.s. weapons to islam ists in syria in the middle east or a journalist who was trying to uncover the pathways of weapon sales from nato governments to. islam is groups that would want to do home to me unless you in washington or or then those journalists probably

wouldn't be given that much publicity it is only when journalists working against perceived enemies is when they die that the coverage that we were seeing that it's when they do it's well journalists sometimes it's a dangerous job i mean that's that's what they're saying about any israeli journalist who's in there when you know you talk about michael hastings and other cases where journalists have a cover of things like you know iran contra or the cia selling drugs and their deaths your conspiracy theories to be think anything else and in the script will case that seemed also again anybody who had any other thought besides it was you know a russian agent twirling his mustache as he painted it on the door i guess you were a crazy person i mean with all the fischel inconsistency isn't secrecy for no reason surrounding mess cripple case what should raise the eyebrows of viewers and

journal and other journalists the most about the whole event but isn't being talked about. yeah i mean the script has been devastating it's been devastating for people as if ordered by the security state even though this is without conclusive proof as i said the german government reportedly saying there is zero evidence to conclusively prove that moscow had anything to do with what happened in england when. russian agent who then became a british agent was well he was reported here in the murder crimes as being dead in one edition of the times when he and his daughter suddenly recovered from an incident about which there has been total secrecy and and very little transparency we're just we just expected to take the say so of the government and what's even more frightening now and i should say there are some honorable exceptions in the

mainstream media now complaining about this the british home secretary says we should have lists of people in the mentions not just this in respect to fighting isis diet in fighting russian terrorism he's been explicit that there should be lists and no person it seems certainly there's no process of being able to identify whether you are on one of these lists that the british government is going to have . and then m i five the secret service here can share information about you to different agencies and you don't really have a comeback of being able to say i wasn't i've been misidentified or the information is inaccurate all of this coming out all of a attempted assassination apparently that didn't. didn't work and then was blamed on russia and that without any conclusive proof and indeed we're waiting of course from still for information from the u.n. o.p.c. w.

committee because britain went ahead and bombed syria when the o.p.c. w. was looking at chemical weapons in syria it seems increasingly lawless and i have to say for what it is very difficult for journalists to find the truth when you're being completely blocked and right now you know we we appeal to people if they've seen surrogates cripple or his daughter yulia to come back whistle blow we want to hear from them without them being filter. and through the british security state yes i couldn't agree more and it's scary when you think about that ok now we want to do you know people who are alleged spies or whatever we want to say we want to make that list so when you go through an airport like you know they're going to out there's incompetence and then there's also danger in that they and i worry about both sides of that because you know when you paint somebody as a spy you know publicly and then they're not you know especially for a foreign country that destroys that person's whole life moving forward or let's

say they bungle one to expose one of their own agents it on no fly list for spies or whatever they're putting together over there it's a really dangerous territory you saw firsthand with muslims here in the u.s. during the terror watch list in the days of those lists look still go on it's a very dangerous territory one of things i want to ask you too is prime. minister's made had that incredibly aggressive response condemning russia you know even before the investigation and even really got off the ground that felt awful lot to us here in the states a lot like you know george bush post nine eleven we got to go into iraq it felt a lot like you know the era in the first gulf war you know the pushing over incubators with babies and all of that it has there been any fallout to her kind of you know aggressive push towards blaming russia and all the other people that fall behind her and one of the citizens in the u.k. kind of on the ground feeling about all this. it's no exaggeration to say that

there has been a kind of his theory is against russia in this country where a few days ahead of the biggest sporting tournament in the world not one that the united states qualified full iran did russia did and did and even the advertises for right into coca-cola in this country they won't put the would russia as part of the will of cup logo on it so terrified sponsors of mentioning. that russia has something to do with the world cup this is the level of hysteria and as you say there is an element of what the united states must. experience in after nine eleven because that was how the script case was being sold to the british people before it ended up as some kind of damp squid but as i say the legislation that is going through parliament in the next few days is indeed to stop people of british

airports and courts if they are suspected of being a spy not necessarily being a terrorist of being a spy so i don't know what happens if. my real from a foreign agent by the united states going to heathrow airport in london i suppose what they can stop you immediately well i hope that you can fly here at some point to our finances as you are as well or. even if you are the land of the free have a constitution. or you do. it always a pleasure out of your knowledge of retards they are going underground always a pleasure sir. as if i only have and i get to say the words that i wanted to speak on this since the very beginning nasa found evidence of life on mars i'm serious today math announced at the mars curiosity rover found the very first truly conclusive evidence that organic molecules exist on the surface

of mars turns out that about three to have billion years ago the gale crater was a leak and in that lake we're living carbon based creatures in addition nasa announced that the mysterious nothing plumes that were observed also help prove that billions of years ago mars had liquid water and organic life and while they're still figuring out what kind of organic life the molecules and methane are from these findings are still about one hundred times bigger than any previous. mainly because it proves that mars was capable of supporting life now that we know life was possible on mars or thousands and thousands of steps closer to bringing life to my lover love a great way to end the show all right that is our show for today and remember everyone in this world at large we are not told that we are loved enough so i tell you all i love you i am tyrrel but on top of

a lot of people watching those hawks out there and have a great day and everybody. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. the transatlantic relationship is had many ups and downs since its inception after the second world war it is said this relationship is whether these moments of tensions and differences due to american leadership enter donald trump can the transatlantic relationship survive the current occupant in the white house. is a. church secret indeed just like priests accused of sexually abusing

children can get away with it quite literally i like to call this the do graphic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot where the previous standard is not the highest ranks of the catholic church conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that end of that's known as the i intend to include at it just is out and. it's felt. radially reinforced rammed earth bricks is what they really are.

there's more than seventy houses about one hundred forty people with families living here but. it's really a way of forming same as. the sun's coming in and hitting the house and being stored in massive walls. sagebrush is the natural environment here. but as we are containing the sewage and and using to plant stuff to process the sewage we create our own little way system here. at white for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside out. football

isn't only about what happens on the pitch to the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money kill the narrowness and spending to do the twenty million and one player. so it's an experience like nothing else on to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game played great so well more transfer. and thinks this minute. but look at.

the headlines on r.t. protests ahead of the g. seven summit in canada his global leaders join forces against their biggest ally the west so rich you know that from politics you don't get maybe the american president doesn't mind being isolated today but we also don't mind being six if need be a kindergarten in massachusetts causes concern after teaching children a nursery rhyme about how to survive a potential shooting and meets with the chinese president in beijing to discuss regional security and cooperation as washington brands both countries and first are it's. well.
