6:18 pm
minister is. is basically a state of denial and happy with the way in which the policies are playing out and i think that sort of punitive approach to benefits is awfully inconsistent in fact breaks it is going to make that because those in the lower income levels are really going to soften one of the five one in five brits live in poverty and over a million people cannot afford basic essentials reported by the u.n. so reparative poverty and human rights adds that child poverty could hit forty percent within a few years but the u.k. government says it's doing all it can to tackle the problem we are absolutely committed to helping people improve their lives well providing the right support for those who need it. the offer of food bank britain re woolford says the u.k. establishment is not just ignoring the problem it even benefits from it

6:21 pm
like any company is taking advantage of a gap the needs to be felt people need water or something else to drink so coca-cola comes in. it. could call as an offering for daily work and enough ring to god. in indigenous cultures these posh liquor which has always been the favorite ritual drink now color is on the same level. if someone has new money they can use the soft drinks a form of currency. does could. only oh yes drink it coca-cola will take everything back out of your body it will. be longer mint that previously it was estimated that thirty percent of the

an answer don't accept their denials she said before we. sat on the statement that i would be home by that time the next day there's a culture on accountability and police officers know that they can engage in misconduct that has nothing to do with solving their crime. 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 our internal our total bickering in affairs and. those. dollars. dollar dollar is what i was doing. we got carried away or we care the music with us.

6:26 pm
we speak and we're quickly learning that climate change doesn't just mean oh man it's raining again i'm good show child of almost getting wet when i run from the front door to the hoover i called them from the over to the temperature control office and know for a lot of the world climate change means showing people where your house used to be so it's great to see that this week the mainstream media has extensively covered the fact that california is on fire they have they have actually covered it they just can't bring themselves to say the words climate change no instead the reports are like there were five years and they were back and what caused them is they were bred. as most reports take for example n.b.c. nightly news. now it's a it's a great new you can find
6:27 pm
a finer news program and anywhere in the building where they say all right. this past sunday they open the broadcast with five full minutes on multiple california fires the destruction the loss of life and yet throughout the entire report they couldn't find the words climate change or global warming or even simply we're. just quit it got caught in their throats they were like climb climb. we can dash was good. here take a listen to the color crash and cause most of the fires but take a look and let's see how long it takes for n.b.c. nightly news to say something stupid this is n.b.c. nightly news with kate snow. good evening they are wildfires for california's history books hold on there. about those history books that are going to have to
6:28 pm
start being shorter and shorter because the thousand year fires are quickly becoming the five year fires saying these fires are one for the history books implies the twenty years from now the children in california will be reading about the great fires of twenty eighteen but they won't because in twenty years their history books will be on fire ok. and the great fires of twenty eighteen will look like nothing but a warm day with a pina colada here's an example of what i mean the headline is the headline from the from huffington post california's wildfires this year have been breaking records the state is experience some of the biggest and deadliest fires in its history this year that article from twenty seven table last year did they go down in the history books how often does everyone huddle under the blankets and take turns telling scary tales of the twenty seventeen fires. acting each year like these fires are
6:29 pm
a fluke that will never happen again that in and of itself is denying climate change it is lying to the american people in order to cover up that we are promoting a system based on big oil big factory farming and big environmental destruction now you may be thinking well you can't prove these fires were caused by climate change donald trump says they were caused by forest mismanagement and. well the union of concerned scientists the effects of global warming on temperature precipitation levels and soil moisture are turning many of our forests in the kindling during wildfire season in terms of forest fires over a thousand acres in size in the nineteen eighties now this is their chart in the one nine hundred eighty s. there were one hundred forty in the one nine hundred ninety s. there were one hundred sixty and from two thousand to two thousand and twelve there were two hundred fifty and in case you were wondering in the past month there have
6:30 pm
been five hundred fires in california burning two hundred twenty five thousand acres luckily this chart also has pictures of flames so it can be understood by people like donald trump or and the sea dunes anchored you know in the eighty's small flame in the ninety's a little bit bigger flame and. big slimy thing. you'll notice the most recent numbers are twenty twelve well i was able to get the predictions for two thousand and twenty and here they are. yeah i saw good folks is not good i'm sure n.b.c. nightly news will say it's one for the history pamphlets. so in this five minute segment on n.b.c. did they fail to mention any other glaring issue that was right in front of their stupid faces firefighters putting their own lives on the line racing through the fire storm to protect the teeth firefighters are working around the clock the spot
