says they were here to attack part of the executive branch of the governments. see those reports due to privacy considerations we're unable to comment further they were apparently going to transfer eighty million dollars out of the petrel caribbean account in haiti in the bank to another account which would be under the control of president joe from elmo we saw the petro caribbean account required authorization if you will from modi's his then prime minister. and the bank president john bad dubois so this was apparently

their mission they entered haiti many of them without stamping their passport without going through immigration without going through customs they had come in with weapons which is a violation not just of u.s. law but haitian law pressure from the u.s. embassy had them released in a completely illegal manner are you able now that the piece is released had to disclose your source and if not why not i spent a week in haiti speaking to. he should police officials justice department officials people. with any connection who are of any knowledge at all of this operation secure disclose or source the requested immunity. so we have to protect our sources well kim ives broke the story for the intercept online news outlet but one of the mercenaries retired navy seal disputes that

request. for to leave profiled me. they're not perfect and you see what they did she wasn't the only one experiencing this issue. it was here that marine try to get into her university for a second time but she says she was told by security guards here that she was one of several students who had been barred from her own university for the duration of the queen's visit now marina and her friends say that they've been politically profiled for their history of peaceful demonstrations over issues such as palestine demos like this wasn't in this group. who were there are you going to go out to the north people who think this is not ok it does. marine doesn't have

a criminal record she claims she was just singled out by her university for being a politically minded muslim woman i must be paying student i pay nine thousand pounds right and i'm i'm not allowed to go to my lecture because i'm a carrier. security got to be. outrageous since the incident the students have staged more protests highlighting what happened to them and demanding on it says. king's college london is one of the u.k.'s oldest universities that occupies several buildings in central london and the queen and the duchess of cambridge were here opening this new building bush house now auntie perch the students allegations to the university and the response we got was simply that there was an event here that required the highest level of security we had an event on tuesday which

demanded the highest level of security and we had to minimize movement three buildings for security reasons at a time some of our buildings were not successful the metropolitan police told r.t. that they don't comment on security issues but marine says that talking about political issues shouldn't make her a security want to. break with decades of u.s. policy president trump says it's time the u.s. fully recognizes the occupied golan heights as part of israel the region would struggles israel lebanon syria and jordan was under extreme syria after the six day war in one hundred sixty seven well made it to turkey and the arab league have reacted to the u.s. announcement reiterating their support for syria while iran as one trumps announcement could trigger a new wave of conflicts in the middle east caleb maupin has got the latest this friday. donald trump's support for israel has taken some new heights and that would be the golan heights and it now seems that despite the un and syria and others

recognizing this territory as belonging to syria donald trump wants it to be recognized as part of israel let's take a listen to what he tweeted out of the fifty two year time for the united states to fully recognize israel so vincy over the golan heights which is of critical strategic and security importance the state of israel and regional stability now this announcement on twitter came as mike pompei zero the top diplomat of the united states secretary of state was meeting with the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu he expressed a huge amount of gratitude for this gift of recognizing the golan heights and its time when the run cease to syria as a platform to destroy israel trump boldly recognize israel is sovereignty in the golan heights thank you president trump now in its annual human rights report the usa described palestinian territories not as israeli occupied but rather as israeli

controlled and we recently saw mike pump a zero take the unprecedented move as u.s. secretary of state and actually visit the western wall in jerusalem now at this point the world is well aware that benjamin netanyahu is facing an election that will determine whether or not he remains the prime minister of israel and some have interpreted donald trump's moves as essential trying to help netanyahu showing u.s. support for netanyahu taking unprecedented steps in pro israeli stances by the united states as a whole and people wonder if this could lead to an escalation in the region during this rig sterling is a member of the syria solidarity movement told us trump's move doesn't bode well for the region risks prolonging the conflict in syria. what this decision from the trumpet ministration is going to do is instead of increasing regional stability it's going to undermine it it's going to prolong the conflict in syria

it's going to destabilization the region rather then. then then then helping it basically seems to do take moves that are in line with what benjamin netanyahu wants an empty casino mogul show that abel's that want so this is just a continuation where they move the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem where they have as the u.s. to stop funding of the new and it built nations relief works agency where the united states with rule unilaterally from the iran agreement and this is continuing a very dangerous trend under not undermining international law and. agreements. european union project to teresa mayes requests for a three month delay to bragg said after a summit in brussels the ways offering them a shorter perspective meant but only on the condition of the british parliament approves the unpopular withdrawal deal painstakingly negotiated by the british prime minister in brussels only assessing for taking its toll on some of the top

european leaders however. do if you haven't done so a greece term extension until the. twentieth of april. it will hold yes. on to the very. according to to our poll. and there's still empty in the end it means to put a lot of space. it was certainly

a long nights of discussion debate decision making and chopping and changing plans multiple times at the e.u. council summit and finally a decision that was reached officially and a final offer to to reason may and the u.k. for its breaks up plans for spurring that they'd line article fifty until the twenty second of may conditional on to resume a passing up plan in parliament of course it's already been rejected twice by big majorities humiliating defeat for the conservative government and it's probably for that reason that the e.u. council added these conditions at the condition that you pass is that through if not they've added the option of a second extension up until the twelfth of april now if the u.k. chooses to go for that second extension of the reason may fails to put our plan through parliament as widely expected the u.k. will have to come up with some sort of plan with some sort of offer to continue

that process in which case they will have to agree to participate in the european parliamentary elections but of course that would be rather silly and rather pointless because the u.k. is of course leaving the european union as. the reason i stated it in her press conference oh come the twenty eighth of march depending on what happens in the house of commons she may have to go back to the e.u. once again the e.u. may have to call another emergency council meeting to decide what exactly happens next so it does seem the breast of the brooks is saga for now will continue here don hawkins reporting there will continue to follow the twists and turns coming up after the break in unlikely terrible events are going tandem obey prisoner sings the praises of his captors and slams the authorities in his native saudi arabia will try to work out why when we come back.

regulations well long with the invisible hand because when you every put the spent together they will try to fix prices so the u.s. . market fundamentalists really believe. price manipulation even more so the profits because profits are the result of the counting of the accounting is the result of the four big accounting firms that you can pay to have any result you.

can buy this is out international mix and as mentioned before the break a prisoner in saudi national were held in america's infamous crime telemovie detention center a surprisingly heaped praise on the united states and lashed out at the saudi monarchy. my faith in many u.s. politicians and media outlets has recently risen dramatically because of their courage to stand against the saudi royals the saudi royal family overtly fights terrorism to please the west while covertly supporting its a please the clerics and others they also do this so that they are always desperately needed by the united states and the west terraces biggest seller shall be spend seventeen years in guantanamo are to been captured in pakistan the us

dropped the initial charges against him but still refused to release him over security fears shelby admits to being an interpreter for al qaeda and receiving training to use explosives. i'm proud of what i did and there isn't any reason for hiding i fought against the united states i took up arms i did what i did and i'm willing to pay the price no matter how many years you sentence me even if i spend hundreds of years in jail that would be a matter of honor for me i'll shove his lawyer told us his client has served his time when there's no justification there for keeping him in prison any longer. well mr walsh already was very clear eyed about why he wanted to speak out in this moment and he's also cognizant of the possible consequences that would that might carry for himself but for him it's more important to speak the truth in this moment to cast a critical light on on his home government and to let the chips fall where they may

he is hopeful that you know the truth will set him free and that he will eventually regain his freedom and remain safe but but he also understands that you know the saudi government does not take to all to criticism it's really an extraordinary situation because when you think about it here in the united states if he had been charged with the most common terrorism related offense material support for terrorism he would be a free man by now the sentence for that is usually ten to fifteen years and so the question really is why is the united states continuing to hold on to these men and the answer unfortunately is that it's politics it's just the perception of having a place like guantanamo and what that represents symbolically to a certain portion of the electorate and to a certain part of the political class in the united states it's far too convenient a political football unfortunately there are no charges pending against mr one point he was charged before a military commission with a crime of conspiracy that crime was subsequently found by u.s. courts not to constitute a war crime so. that charge was dismissed he like many of the forty remaining

the age of sixteen and she reported caroline fire oh a devout catholic to the police for a series of tweets which use words like mutilate and castrate no greene says those posts went far beyond the transgender debate you will see the tweets are a lot more serious than about ms gendering they were allegations of serious misconduct and violent spiteful personal attacks since this is come down a bit she's no withdrawn the complaint but the debate rages on we put it to talk show host john gaunt and human rights campaign a-t. peter tatchell to see what they thought. kara it is a devout catholic i met him many times interviewed her she's a devout catholic she has an absolute right to hold a view of saying i don't accept this just like a muslim person and they couldn't except either so let's have respect both sides is absolute nonsense that the police and got caroline should have be respectful of

the design of that trans woman to be referred to she. even if she doesn't approve of it you know reflecting someone's chosen gender that is not a big deal it doesn't imply support or endorsement it's just about common decency and respect there is this increasing tendency for the police to be bought in to deal with what some people find offensive but now in human. there is no right to not be offended you know offense is part and parcel of open debate now i'm glad that we live in a free society where people can express their opinions and what caroline post said was not stirring hatred or discrimination all violence against trans people she was simply in my view disrespectfully refusing to use the term she

to a trans woman look she went through a difficult time with a boy who then thought she was a woman and he's a woman now abusing but i do think there is a kind of pressure on everyone that we have to conform to his you know which i think that's deplorable but i don't think it's a matter for police intervention you know there are serious crimes serious hate crimes out there violence discrimination have a cement which the police should be focusing on not what individual people may say if we close down debate. it on the most important debate generally in the world. social media and facebook then we're going to live in very dangerous times and now we're really going to allow the new oligarchs of the media world facebook and twitter to be our lord chamberlain's surely we should be grown up and talk about it . chuck i'm a big explosion of fire in china next over my fire fight has been battling still

small amounts of fires there forty seven have been killed in the explosion the thursday but two o'clock local time ninety others were seriously injured the blast so powerful it reportedly leveled several buildings and even created some earth tremors as well hundreds of rescuers were deployed to the scene of what has been described as one of the worst industrial accidents in china in recent years are the . european parliament center right block suspended the hungarian president's right wing party out of european elections the move comes after budapest launched a post a campaign accusing the european commission president of putting people in danger with his migration policies well after suspension the party loses all membership privileges including voting rights on top of this one today sophie shevardnadze speaking direct to the hungary and foreign minister about what that means so shows on air various times today. the migration there is an issue

when it comes to the debates and the position of different parties on migration differs and our position is a very strong and time migration position which is not shared by many the core of the position moved you know towards the left from where it used to be this is pension happened it took place. they had all the prime minister's office has said that if suspension happens that means that t.d.'s is leaving p.p. in english you say that a reversal spend it but if you are suspended by ourselves. meaning that before devote whether to suspend or exclude feed us we have announced that we suspend ourselves we step back we we become basically say that if you put our rights in e.p. or hold. and there's going to be a body all three persons appointed by the european peoples for peace and they will make a report about there are feed us israel used he does his actions are in line the

officers hands didn't hit him i never saw any contact between the two any kind of went back to where they were so the officers back here there try again fifteen feet apart at this point and that's when the officer pulled out his gun and he did it on three. you know world a big part of the new lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.

smoke fight will make the final maybe not the muslim world of the influence you know members of settlers from gaza said to get a. lot of let's. just get nothing. she will use or as you make an. agreement with the industry in. general but from the sun on my book you go to the british courts that's enough let them stop. me the god . exists.
