5:06 pm
audit kicked off last december and cover two point seven trillion dollars worth of assets the cost of the whole process totaled four hundred thirty million dollars on the thousand orders from outside firms examined hundreds of thousands of items but only five of twenty one departments managed to pass the army navy air force marines all failed and now more than half a billion dollars in needed to rectify problems revealed by the checks to explain all. a number of sections agency's divisions were given what they call disclaimers saying that they had multiple issues that needed to be fixed some of the things that stand out for example we've got fifty three million dollars worth of an installed missile motors that were listed as not working well the auditors discovered that actually these missile motors were functional the pentagon is notorious for wasteful spending of taxpayer money.
5:07 pm
apparently unconcerned the deputy of defense the defense department came forward and said that they were not surprised that this was simply not a pass fail audit apparently at this point they are saying that this is simply showing what they already knew which was that there was a huge problem wasteful spending in the pentagon and now they are turning to the american taxpayers for more money to correct the problem of wasting money to begin with. u.s. prosecutors appeared to be drawing up challenges for the wiki leaks founder julian
5:08 pm
assange a reference to the case because apparently by mistake as part of an unrelated court filing. the complaint supporting affidavit would need to remain sealed until songes a rested in connection with the charges in the criminal complaint and could therefore no longer evade or avoid a wrist and extradition in this matter sounds been holed up in the ecuadorian embassy in london since twenty twelve last year a sex assault investigation into the australian national was shelved by swedish authorities however he still faces arrest in the u.k. breaking bail terms u.s. officials have repeatedly called for songs to be extradited for leaking files on the wars in iraq and afghanistan back in twenty term that same year we could leaks also released hundreds of thousands of classified diplomatic cables and in twenty seventeen the group published the largest leak in cia history yunus on his laws of call the possible indictment a dangerous precedent. the notion that federal criminal charges could be broad based on the publication of truthful information is an incredibly dangerous
5:09 pm
precedent to set us indictment over sirens agree violation of press freedoms obviously when wiki leaks broke into the international consciousness about eight years ago you had a lot of allies in the international media and worked particularly closely with organizations such as the washington post the new york times and the guardian newspaper in the u.k. then there seem to be a lot of infighting and these all the legacy media outlets started turning on on julian songe so the question is why are they not protecting one of their own today not realize that if they don't protect one of their own they would be equally vulnerable under these sort of laws and i think that's something that the legacy media in the west needs to really seriously think about either we have press freedom for all we have press freedom for none of us judges order the trump of ministration to restore the press credentials of c.n.n. correspondent jim acosta he was barred from the white house following an argument
5:10 pm
during a press conference in case you missed it has. donald trump says cnn's jim acosta missed it sometimes everyone's the bad guy. the orange one and c.n.n. the mom at the white house quoting a press conference posed a real die lemme how do you pick sides when they're acting like overgrown sportsmen to support a call say you've got to be nor the fact that he was attempting to lecture the commander in chief while trying to take over a press conference to get behind trump you'd have to ignore that equal to that and enemy of the people and that he's trying. ultimately though everyone decided it had been a bad day for roll lessons were learned than they line was rolling on to the whole story. just kidding the white house threw a female into an on the front. seat at the high rate of bond acosta from the white house accusing him of placing his hand on the internet and so c.n.n.

5:12 pm
a nonevent the global media and all those online on the list takes the bait. so the nation's not talking about stuff that actually matches that he will turns out the politics of distraction really does what you know my god what is that. such . a rape trial a small town rage an island the defense sees the controversial argument concerning consent to win the case and see a chicken or explains to what extent does what you wear send a message especially a message that you wouldn't mind meeting someone or that even having sex with them would be all right with you and does a lazy film spread that message louder and clear than a regular old pair of granny panties or is it not up to a piece of cloth to express consent for a woman a recent court case in ireland has fired up this conversation after a pair of underwear was presented as evidence at a rape trial in the city of cork
5:13 pm
a twenty seven year old man was accused of rape by a seventeen year old woman he said she had consented she said she didn't the man's lawyer had a one point use the woman's choice of underwear as proof of her intent that's the evidence of the possibility that she was attracted to the defendant and was open to meet and sound one and being with someone you have to look at the way she was dressed she was wearing a thong with a lace front. the defendant was unanimously acquitted by the jury protesters took to the streets in several irish cities over the lawyers stunt demanding an end to victim blaming in court but then i. think oh ok oh the home long as you're a open public in protest as well as placed it on the steps of the courthouse where the trial took place can send cannot come from clothing a cat come from a piece of material it can only come from the parish said the outrage reached the irish parliament to the same recently close faked even contraception being used to

5:15 pm
oh you mean there's a downside to artificial mortgage through don't get carried away that's cause a report. or it didn't happen this is the phrase that has become a mantra for many people as more and more people get involved in visualizing the world around them how is the story we tell ourselves about ourselves changing. i don't think the democrats very much moved in the go shape with the republicans or president so i think people are going to have to acknowledge that the united states over the next couple years is going to be consumed even more so by or internal bickering in affairs and.
5:16 pm
the wreckage of an argentinian submarine that went missing a year ago with forty four crew on board has been located in the atlantic relatives of the crew have gathered to pay tribute to their loved ones. disappeared four hundred kilometers off the argentine coast in november last year just before contact was lost it was reported that there'd been an electrical failure the navy now says the submarine imploded they found its parts scattered around the area the exact cause of that implosion is not yet known. the un official has accused the british government of inflicting misery on the country's poorest people through austerity policies. poverty is really a major challenge in the united kingdom what i found in my discussions with ministers. is basically
5:17 pm
a state of denial and they are happy with the way in which their policies are playing out and i think that sort of punitive approach to burne of foods is utterly inconsistent in fact breaks it is going to make that worse because those in the lower income levels are really going to suffer one of five brits live in poverty and on the million people can't afford basic essentials report by the un's reportorial on poverty and human rights adds child poverty could hit forty percent within a few years but the u.k. government says it's across the problem we are absolutely committed to helping people improve their lives while providing the right support for those who need it . the author of food bank of britain re well fed says the u.k. stablish one is not just ignoring the problem it actually benefits from it a why in twenty eighteen people are literally starving to death here in london one of the richest capitals on the planet why isn't it this story is not number one on
5:18 pm
the b.b.c. number one on i.t.v. poverty one in five that's twenty percent of the population are in poverty so poverty is an issue we all need to be addressing and all political parties are responsible why is it with one in five people in poverty in this in the u.k. not one political party has a minister dedicated to eradicate poverty and that in itself is a scandal that poverty is not being addressed it's not being seen as having any value and the reality is too many people are making money out of poverty. clashes have erupted in greece on the anniversary of the nine hundred seventy three student uprising against the military.

5:20 pm
mean here melissa the state has failed to provide safe drinking water so coca-cola like any company is taking advantage of a gap in the needs to be felt people need water or something else to drink so good color comes in. later open as good a call is an offering for daily work and a no friend to god. in indigenous cultures these pushed liquor which has always been the favorite ritual drink now color is on the same level.

5:30 pm
future it's more about our children rather than about about what has taken place since then it has only been about the expansion of israel they all go and. visit and so it's just a reminder for us that we should not lose hope and we should remember that moment as a moment of power of strength of collective will and there's a moment of hope for a different future the government saying the settlement activity undermines a two state solution under sixty seven borders and they said that they shouldn't be imprisoning children the israelis i applaud him for that of course that's that's right that's correct to say that it's also illegal this is not just about being an obstacle to peace it's an illegal activity according to the u.k. law and international law and much is needed i mean affirming the policy is very important and we need to use.
