more insidious than they seem it appears as if they're asking the right questions is this an invasion of privacy why weren't we told about this sooner but by acting like this is just a little thing to be discussed it makes average americans believe it's no big deal it's the same as discussing if you want on your pizza all right one person kind of like a the other person is not really a fan. this is the mushrooms all right. these are the telltale signs of a fascist surveillance state and the only. thing the only thing i hate more than a march pizza ok to sum it up as edward snowden says that these programs were never about terrorism they're about economic spying social control and diplomatic manipulation they're about power how do you want to be.

welcomed welcome by me candelas take the news from behind lead start with good news palestinian protest i head to mimi was finally released after eight months. she was locked up at the age of sixteen for the crime of having a viral video basically she slapped an israeli soldier after the i.d.f. had shot her fifteen year old cousin in the head nearly killing him and apparently the israeli military were jealous of how many heart of logies her video was getting so they arrested her and her mother always good to throw the mother in you know just just in case so i'm pretty sure the israeli military were sitting there at

their laptops. i don't get it sushi didn't even have that many followers i spend all day on the twitter and the book face and i'm interacting and. i do a mix of politics with papa dog videos to. the algorithm know i am good guy i'm good guys we'll soon see is beating so rockstar. i don't know why that accent ended up being my grandfather. to go to prison and here's some more hopeful news a massive nationwide prison strike is set to start aug twenty first the prisoners will be demanding more humane living conditions access to rehabilitation sentencing reform and the end of modern day slavery. i can come on prisoners always with a me me me and made me want to not pay a dollar a minute for

a phone call to your loved ones and you want to not be a modern day slave. seriously though we have millions of people locked up in this country we have the most prisoners per capital and the most prisoners total meaning by the dictionary definition undeniably you can be right wing it doesn't matter this is an undeniable fact the united states of america is the largest prison state to have ever existed in the history of the planet ever and the best thing we've found to do with these people is force them to sell made in america labels on victoria's secret clothing that was made in guatemala really. seriously that's the kind of thing they're forced to do and now there's going to be a massive strike to fight back against this the actions will take the form of the worst strikes sit ins boycotts and hunger strikes yeah which which might. although they could they could make it difficult for us to continue our endless

wars since these temporal prison industry produces a hundred percent of all military helmets and many of the war supplies and other equipment in california inmates are also serving as firefighters but who cares if they go on to work strike wildfires are only all over california. and for those of you who don't live in california is there like. sucks for all those surfers opponents to. wait until all the other condos go up in flames all right not so funny anymore is it now a confluence of prison industrial complex inmate abuse with climate change has created a perfect storm that will ruin your biannual holy moley guacamole night. who's laughing now still to learn more about this at incarcerated workers dot org we have to go to a quick break but i have live comedy shows coming up in denver and boulder colorado

you get tickets and so appreciative of god for god also you can see right here it was easy. because i was already. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer and it means to me death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people was terrifying news just move the present and then we hear even many of the times families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep to get kelly here is because

that's what murder victims' families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in saying. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way. crazy conspiracy there is that they're all worthless there are all money the bus forget about the back of the buses run amok with the fuss because we want rush limbaugh wonder bread and fake news to you guys that's america. america was never great was founded on the rapes in the murders. nothing changed so we said no all response to these situations that we deal with.

people get shot every other day she is just sad people kill each other but for the kill each other. there was just no way that people are going to just sit back and allow children to be shot down law enforcement. this country doesn't work for us it doesn't function for us. this is can't be happening in america we can. mistress we got to deal with life which is the reason i have to read like this is a reason. to go. welcome that i'm not going to turn now to africa the cradle of civilization and if

you look at how america treats africa it's pretty clear that we ate cradles we can stand of god for some good things and we see a cradle we need to exploit its natural resources immediately our country's most recent assault on africa involves perpetuating and engaging in secret wars here now to explain is our senior dude was secrets john. was. not aware you know that's the latest from the u.s. covert war front in africa well which country talking about somalia kenya you share uganda chad morocco tunisia djibouti nigeria senegal tanzania because we got an active military presence and all of. the others. i'm not really sure why you're good to you about on a hinge to u.s.

military adventurism on yet another continent leave the obvious that i'm on in its . military spokespeople have made it clear that the american special ops role in africa is limited to advising and assisting and who among us couldn't use some good advice in this crazy crazy world. old. maybe if i got some i never would have invested all my money into the failed product launch of extras slutty olive oil. is the most all apparently everybody prefers their olive oil. well i know my oil sleeping with other people is gross but the notion that the u.s. military is just advising in africa is. why do you say that because for more than

five years green berets navy seals and other commandos have been operating under an obscure authorization that allows them to both plan and control missions an average joe or because quote it's less we are helping you and more you are doing our bidding said one active duty green beret officer with reason experience in west africa as he described the programs carried out under a legal authority known as section one twenty seventy. yes. yes to all of the things you just know what the hell is section one thousand and seventy it's a perfectly benign super her. authorization their funds are classified programs we're averaging government alone how units of their militaries for american special ops teams they use as surrogates to hunt and kill our enemy combatants for us now. you know how the saying goes better to have your

hand of the puppet than for the puppet to come to life in the middle of the night while you're sleeping and strangle you know that. what looks saying is that way. i don't know or a squirrel whispered into my ear underneath the bridge one time. these cover wars are an abomination it is anybody being held accountable what is congress doing well maybe a foreign policy expert senator lindsey graham again. shed some light on the situation i didn't know there was a thousand troops in niger i didn't know there was a thousand troops in niger. perhaps is not the most or. maybe no. look this military for the average guy is a stance of late a fight extremist groups but it's really another clear instance of us empire

perpetuating endless war for profit for money we at least deserve to know about these things. i mean. agree oh that's that's probably why ninety's all rock band weezer recently covered the song africa by toyo i mean everybody thought it was a weird choice for them to do that but they're actually trying to let the world know of. the u.s. military is a shill that is there nothing goes aging if there is danger. i think you might run a little much and that's one of those. corporations want to claim everything is their own intellectual property and can't be touched by anyone else even when it could cost the lives of millions for more on this raging controversy we go to redacted correspondent naomi.

d.n.a. testing it's not just for finding out which races you can make jokes about with impunity anymore it has a medical application to it's extremely useful in identifying and preventing reading terry illnesses. but i'm obviously more interested in the jokes. around. fifty percent caucasian twenty percent some kind of brown and ten percent home this. could have looked in the mirror that d.n.a. testing is a lucrative enterprise where money get in the way of medical benefits the largest genetics company in the u.s. and the biggest shareholder in your spit myriad genetics has been keeping d.n.a. data the secret to women of sino to bet and blood to tell this joe i mean it says

here i have zero point zero zero six percent. you know how sign on to benzo is crazy about that yac mel ad for almost twenty five years myriad genetics had a patent on the b.r.c.a. one and two genes which cause a variant of breast cancers some would say planting these genes is controversial but according to myriad genetics founder mark skolnick. there's no. very very easy to understand if you take time scientists who have taken some time such as their lifetimes to study cancer causing genes have called the patenting of these genes wrong counterproductive nonsensical after myriad obtained the gene patent in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight it attempted to eliminate b.r.c.a. testing at competing laboratories by sending them cease and desist letters dear do

good dear we have reason to suspect you are trying to find a cure for cancer conley return to medical school and obtain a dental degree or we will pursue all available legal and or criminal remedies that may be a political nerd in twenty or thirty nine supreme court justices meaning all of them ruled that it was illegal to pass and something in nature breaking marion's monopoly on testing and researching the b.r.c.a. genes well i guess that means i'm going to have to throw out my patent for my family specific brand of depression and fury triggered by my neighbor's music my family has passed on this miserable gene from the times of being annoyed by baroque music of the times of know it by one direction. to turn it down. why do i have to be next to the

scattering. after that supreme court decision the other research facilities started to offer testing for the cancer causing gene for much cheaper than the four thousand dollars marriott charge but myriads database the single best source of data about the connection between b.r.c.a. mutations and breast cancer remains a trade secret to this. today so now if you want to cure cancer you should be a happy or deliver your spit samples to this web address by midnight twenty seven eight twenty eighteen or all your data will be wiped also seven thousand bit ones this information should be made public because it can send something and save lives like it did for angelina jolie who could afford the four thousand dollars charge and she also got a double mastectomy and remove her ovaries after receiving her marriage results now

i as a sino to ben am a terrible driver but. it was. a cease and desist letter from the sino tibet and anti-defamation league. reporting from washington this is naomi cara bonnie redacted tonight. here are your headlines from the future in two weeks she'll read the board air marshal swears that if someone doesn't try to kill everyone soon is going to blow up this goddamn plane. and coming up in september you're a soldier pretty sure we'll be able to bring democracy and freedom to djibouti or somalia or wherever and yes. that's our show but to get more followers average actors a night on twitter you can also check out my new podcast common sense or. bonafide

. that's a very rough terrain of sorts of rough climates and you have to fight to be able to them if. it was gunshots on top of them and so many friends they would have been anything and i mean you do not. think well. you know i don't want to see a better body in the trouble in the city to participate in the good. old to me the good wouldn't. you don't think about this leave this old girl on you just treat you

like a and you know i do and other patients. to be giving him he said he opened up a base here. in the. non-single he reviewed the speech so for me talking to me it's. not. ok let's back up because i love it when i don't lose sleep each night. and that a lot of what i think about comedy is good but i'm about the same as art when i was up the money into the magazine but i'm going to. make it a long long long time like my son almost. just say so you'll be the school the only place that has a long long. long way from what should be made by. other people more gulf on

the gulf coast on the couple times. that. we. feel. the rebuilding of war ravaged syria is underway we visited aleppo one of the worst hit cities to witness the reconstruction process. and the markle alexander mere putin will meet in germany later on saturday with syria and sanctions both on the agenda. oh my god. this you don't think it's time to start now being fired that gun on the part of the drama that just two palestinians were killed during a protest in the gaza strip where demonstrators attempted to break through the border fence with israel.

a very warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with me thank you aaron great to have you where those are our top story this hour with this syrian army reestablishing control of the country a new war is being fought against the destruction that was reached by militants and terrorists the rebuilding of key infrastructure is under way we travel to syria to witness the recovery efforts firsthand. much of the city of aleppo is still in ruins reviving it to its former glory is a task of gargantuan proportions and of immense political and economic importance the citadel of aleppo has become the symbol of the city's resistance.

but our lipo is much more than just a maze of antique streets and attractions from history books. the militants of stolen computer units with chips with the machines they destroyed the factory on purpose they wanted to damage syrian industry as a home and specifically in the street in aleppo reviving this that. would. see one prevalent goal of this area a feat and basically very dysfunctional hunker. down and

want to be immense but now that the former industrial hub is slowly getting back on track things are finally looking up for the people of aleppo. two years ago during the war we couldn't even open our shops the shelling snipers were everywhere you couldn't live under such circumstances we covered the roof of the building back then so that we could take cover it was unbearable we took shelter for about half an hour whenever the shelling started we just locked ourselves in here thank god now we can work peacefully day and night we just hang around. just like the good old days. a little the atmosphere is really good around here the weather is nice everybody is feeling safe and it's only getting better you can see getting better day by day. i was lucky enough not to leave my home the wind this is the district the rebels couldn't get to at the time there was a blockade once but it was firmly lifted now saying god things are better despite

all the things we've been through we're no better than one of them we know it's safe you can return home if your house lies in ruins you can still thinks it the main thing is it's safe now. historically the city of aleppo has been the economic capital of syria and now with the world gone finally some traders are coming back to st. john of reporting from aleppo in syria. meanwhile the u.s. state department says it will redirect american stabilisation funding plan for syria to other foreign policy efforts washington insists though this will not affect its humanitarian assistance program meanwhile saudi arabia has pledged to contribute one hundred million dollars to syrian reconstruction efforts however the money will only go to the north east of syria a region under the control of u.s. backed kurdish forces. and while some programs are cut

others are still remaining in place with the u.s. saying it will stay in syria for some time yet to battle terrorists we're remaining in syria the focus is the ensuring defeat of isis we still have not launched the final phase to defeat the physical caliphate this is actually being prepared now and that will come at a time for choosing but it is coming joshua landis head of middle east studies at the university of oklahoma says there are multiple competing interests in syria. the united states does not want assad to become too strong there are hoping to keep leverage in order to try to push iran out of the country to get a better deal for the kurds and and of course they're also worried about what's going to happen if their province where there are very complex negotiations and and russia is at the heart of them so there are many competing agendas in washington

and as long as president trump is not spending a lot of money there i think he's happy to keep a few thousand troops if that increases america's leverage the united states does not want to spend a lot of money and that's quite clear and many people have been complaining bitterly about deaths typically in iraq and other areas that have been quite badly destroyed they've been pressuring a saudi arabia which just said it would spend another hundred million in syria stabilization they've been pushing france and and european countries to try to get them to spend more money rather than washington this is been one of president trump's constant refrain is that others have to pay for this process. today for a while diplomacy as platinum and putin is traveling to germany to meet angela merkel among the pressing issues on the agenda syria unsanctioned daniel hawkins reports from berlin. this is the second meeting between chancellor merkel and

president putin in a matter of months the last one being a visit by the chancellor to the city of sochi back in may her message has been very clear this is a working visit don't expect any concrete results the media though have already been speculating as to what can be gained from these talks can progress be made on key issues on who can come out on top now while remaining realistic merkel has emphasized the importance of having a relationship with russia and having functional dialogue and communication syria will be one of the key topics where this will be important as the scale of the conflict simmers down differences between leaders very much remain and mrs merkel of uses as an opportunity to find some common ground he says that's what's going on and a meeting on syria between germany france russia and turkey kidney useful that it needs to be well prepared there's the reason why there is no date for it yet we are working on in prepared three meeting

a very dreiser's and afterwards who will decide whether such a meeting makes sense the two leaders have previously clashed on multiple occasions mrs merkel has been one of president putin's fiercest critics in this part that though in recent times the two leaders have been pushed closer together into a political marriage of convenience both have been affected by american economic tariffs russia has been hit by u.s. sanctions with more to come on the back of the north shock scandal and merkel has been criticized by trump as being a russian captive because of gas supplies the latter will be a key topic with the north stream two pipeline project pushing ahead despite both criticism and contrive a seat at last the ukraine which has been a saw a thorn in the side of russian german relations since twenty fourteen will also be discussed the implementation of the minsk accords and peacekeeping operations as well despite their major differences of course they do have common ground on leave iran nuclear deal on bilateral economic issues as well. and through knowledge of

russia and mr putin's knowledge of germany they have always maintained at least the cold your relationship. michael moore well we don't know each other well enough but i'm amazed by her ability to listen. to. this because it was so in such she does know that the russian president likes to drink the german beer and sometimes there is a possibility that we can make exchanges toast i've also got a very good smoked fish. angular from time to time since

a couple of forty's over the right to be. but germany is imperatives only stop off on saturday before he gets there he's paying a social visit attending the wedding of the austrian foreign minister cameron can easily and businessman may linger a ceremony will take place that even the art in austria is derrius state and while some are guessing whether pearson will offer a dongs to the bride on what present he has for the couple others have slams the foreign minister for daring to invite him. now the u.s. state department of defense plans to spend up to fifteen million dollars on enhancing soldiers' physical before.
