after all. he was supposedly offering. an exchange for political support. the program called into question the world. last year. the country's most restrictive abortion. choice you make a choice. it's. like some of the comments. by

. 11 pm and 7 in the. main welcome to our 2 international top story a corruption sting cost the austrian vice chancellor his job seen hundreds of government protesters gather outside parliament in vienna on the cover video showed heinze christian struck at a partly offering lucrative public contracts to a woman pretending to be been nice of a russian oligarch in exchange for political support he say's he's the victim of an illegal hit job. this is a. yes it was stupid yes it was responsible yes it was

a mistake but at the same time it was a victim of a targeted political attack that have used illegal means so after talks with the chancellor sebastian quirked i made the decision to resign from the post of feist chancellor. all started with this video that came out of what was clearly a sting it's caused quite a scandal around the right wing freedom party and its former vice chancellor he and the senior member of the party johan good denis were shown cutting a back room deal with a woman claiming to be the niece of a russian all of dark with lothian citizenship back in 2017 right before the austrian elections so they spoke about the party taking money from wealthy donors who kept their paper trail hidden apparently through a charity organization the woman also allegedly offered to buy 50 percent stock of a major austrian newspaper to flip the editorial line in favor of the freedom party .

he said. he. now stretch apologized for what he said he said he discredited people with his actions said he was dumb an embarrassed himself but at the same time he also did say that he was the victim of illegal entrapment and denies receiving money from this woman and as well as his party as party also denies receiving any money coincidentally this video from 2 years ago also surfaced only several days after there was meeting between the austrian president and russian president vladimir putin nobody knows where this video came from or who set up the camera now earlier today the other guy in the video goodness also resigned from his position in the party and 2017 these those elections they were a big step forward for the freedom party actually they took 26 percent of the vote their best. results since 1999 so the scandal in these reg resignations they could

put an end to some of the gains from those elections in which they took power only through the coalition with the austrian people's party the junior party in the coalition weren't they so that will mean the senior party especially kurtz's party the chancellor will he now look for early elections and you know well stream media is reporting that snap elections have been called actually as for struck his replacement reports are saying that the transport minister no brit hole for is lined up to become the next vice chancellor so we really seem to resignations in the span of only several hours you know so what we're seeing here are some big changes in the political landscape in austria. it will move all noah to the persian gulf where the u.s. has strengthened its fleet there by sending 2 more of its guided missile destroyers to the region the ships apparently passed without incident in the hormuz straight to join the other warships which recenter earlier this month there is currently growing tensions between the u.s. and around with washington accusing its of verse 3 of plotting to attack quote

american interests well polly boy goes online series in case you missed it tells its own unique take on the situation. in case you missed it u.s. forces on the move when town could be coming. on hold on a 2nd is this a game a frenzy. is just that this stuff in the middle east is really important when you go. but honestly it would be stupid enough to come pass something as serious as this to a t.v. show about boobies. is that real you know wow imagine if the latest us iran showdown was actually a game of thrones i'm not wearing the. t. golden head donald trump variant is the owner of thousands of both dragons dragons

are a metaphor for nuclear weapons try and stay with me here ok either one be honest as to how many just a few of the great houses are allowed the ability to tell an entire city's into smoldering ashes but only one species dead now trump guerin's force is gathering outside the iran this stronghold he sent in his eye and fleet and popped one of there's peace loving at a craft carrier is just off the coast he's even threatened to send 120000 sunday troops there as well but he doesn't want to you may be confused by that part of the whole list that sheared night john bolton says he was in the intelligence indicating that the iran distances on planning attacks against trump garrion forces 30 reports come from the little the virus netanyahu the middle east the monster of wispa is all of this makes the iran a star is a young for

a dragon of their road more than ever and they're threatening to try and breed one again soon because the trunk guerin's pulled out of an ancient pact which stopped them doing that the stocks of europe a warning that a conflict could stop accidentally but when it comes to the crunch they're likely to scatter in different directions when the fighting begins and at least one will probably use. the problem for the iran desk as it is that they have no idea if they're dealing with the seasons $1.00 to $7.00 trump carrion or the season 8 version. i have. well polly might like this because we stay with the game of thrones theme on the much anticipated finale to the epic fantasy t.v. series ers on sunday night and according to one study as many as 5000000 people could be said to skip work the following day in the u.s. because it the actor by the way who plays rumsey bolton in the show has been on an

adventure of his own with his 1st trip to russia he's been talking to don hawkins although be aware spoiler alert if you're not up to. the ever wonder what would have happened ramsey if you had the sort of gristly and in season 6 yeah i don't know. i don't know how we would have felt but a near is something we probably would have been. in a stupid she's got dragon has but i don't think the way the narrative of the shows played. it would have been as good with ramsey they i think. i think he needs to sort of be gotten rid of in order to install the stocks back to create drama and and the intrigue between the nearest and. and john snow obviously because what else are you going to do just use in so many awful things just you know who just be know you know we're going to do now as you've described as well sort of nothing's black and white there's no villains you know it's interesting playing those sorts of

roles i've never been romeo you know i mean in. so i guess i'm. something else. i really enjoy playing the more complex roles because there's just more to it. and it's often yes more interesting i think i don't know well that says about me as a person. or maybe you know i think you need a specific kind of actor to play those roles and in order to make them not be sort of just face value and have depth and to be 3 dimensional and maybe you need a specific kind of actor and we had a person obviously getting away from a game of thrones is that is the big thing right now that the hype surrounding that . could ask what's this eerie so let me follow you yeah absolutely yeah what's your thoughts of somalia i think one of the great things about it is he just doesn't matter what people could sit around and discuss in and have all these ideas and for

they just no matter what you think they always seem to find a way to twist i thought coming into the series there was no way around it being the nearest but now i was thinking in june last. don't know if she's but i kind of saw up coming i'm very interested to see the scene between. little after all through it goes away something is epic is that which is you know really. defined you at least in the last couple of years as a an actor yeah of course i miss it but it's also it's everything's got to come to a close and i think it's quite exciting that it sort of finishes as you know has just fizzled out going out with the buying in. yen and then on to the next thing and yeah. all right moving on a leaked document does raise questions about the global chemical weapons watchdogs report on the deadly attack in syria last year now the incident took place here in duma that's about 10 kilometers away from the capital damascus and it came as

government forces advanced towards opposition militants who had occupied the area here's a brief reminder of how the situation unfolded. well a newly leaked document appears to be at all about the o.p.c. w.'s official conclusion issued more than 2 months i go with the report claimed that cylinders probably containing chloride were dropped from the air on the city of duma. well western governments used those findings to blame the syrian government for the attack however the document reportedly written by an affiliated

experts say it's all likely the 2 cylinders were dropped from craft it claims rather about their place there and this is the important part manjula our senior correspondent rutger's the of brings us more. this was a comprehensive study and you way you look at it iis engineers experts accounted for almost everything apparently visited the locations saw all the images the videos simulated the physical properties of the canisters concrete steel supports rebars everything they could account for they did it seems is what they found one location in the creator and the chemical canister simply put didn't match instead the crater appears the being caused by an explosive shell before or after and the canister in the impact crater just don't match when

a metal cannon falls through a concrete roof and steel supports you'd expect it to leave marks indents but no consistent marks were found another location canisters say the authors simply couldn't have fit through the impact crater with the valve still intact the only explain nation for all of this the experts state is that they were placed there. observations of the scene of the 2 locations together with subsequent analyses suggest that there is a higher probability that both cylinders were money placed it there is $2.00 locations rather than being delivered from aircraft now one would think their findings are incredibly important that they would change the entire narrative is findings completely contradict what was later put in the official o.p.c. w. report on the chemical incident and duma narrative the acid's helicopters drop to these canisters that was established hours after the incident with no investigation

or questions and narrative that enabled the narmada of cruise missiles to be launched at syria u.b.c. w. has admitted that documents had been leaks and say they're investigating how it happened which into the veracity of these documents they didn't deny their legitimacy worryingly u.p.c. w. has issued no comment on what the specific report found there were many other reports which the u.p.c. w. compiled for their final version on how these leaked findings fly in the face of the u.p.c. w.'s official report the documents turn the entire story down and bear in mind these aren't just random nobodies we don't know whether this team was part of the u.p.c. w. staff members or outside consultants experts and the u.p.c. w. is saying nothing other than it looked at all versions and sub investigations and

compiled them asked for comment a week ago with a list of questions and there's been no response why did they meet this report why did they go for one version of events and not the other why are they taking so long to comment on this so far silence but with the story gaining traction so for answers sooner or later. right because the of with the story there we also spoke to professor piers robinson piers actually assess the doctor for a british academic research group so he's seen it and he say's the weapons watchdog has to dress whether there's a cover up going all over the dinner reporter what kind of political pressure and mine to be brought to bear on your p.c. w to lead didn't to what would appear to be the case to to suppress will not use a report which one of the messed up members have been involved in producing and to

rely on engineering reports from some unspecified external companies those are the kind of questions 3 really need beyond skin and really you know p.c. w. has to address this i think more broadly than that there needs to a proper investigation into the o.p.c. w. and how it has been operating because if it is the case that it's organization has been subjected to political pressure and that has led to a distortion there investigations then that is an incredibly serious matter a whole number of reasons quite aside from the fact that we did what happened in duma civilians were killed and we need to get to the bottom of who killed them ok this is a war crime has occurred and it is in any way some kind of coverup going on and that's a very very serious matter and it's something which should be people should be pushing for

a proper investigation an international inquiry into what has been going on how do you easy w.b. not creating uncritically an investigation to try to understand what has been happening in syria in relation to all of these events need allegations regarding chemical weapons attacks. meanwhile on friday the u.n. security council convened to the scope of the challenges facing the middle east of course the conflict in syria was among the top of the agenda the talks indeed focusing on an ongoing syrian government offensive on rebel held it led by province in the country's north now western countries are alleging that forces with russian air support they say destroyed hospital. the claims which russia and syria strongly then led to some fierce exchanges at the meeting in the. syrian army know the russian. military operations against. civilian infrastructure

russia and the regime's decision to launch airstrikes sends a terrible signal to disregard toward the political process we refuse to consider. and will continue to fight despite the objections. that it's safe return it strikes said i quite. in that position do not need medical treatment. facilities in russia if you have a. united states reiterates that any escalation in violence in northwest syria would destabilize the region. we have our own view. of the region. there is the vision in the u.s. after lawmakers pass the nation's toughest abortion law as our t.v. reports.

welcome to. the. yanks this is what happens to pensions in britain. as a report. reluctant to give credit to the president trying for just about anything but by action in a way when he said at the beginning of his presidency that he'd be open to what to a one state or a 2 state solution whatever these rising balloting is going to agree on i think that was actually a smart thing to say given the legacy of american support for israel the expansion essentially over the decades given the kind of political culture and political

system that israel has developed there really isn't a way to negotiate something between palestinians and israelis. hello again this week the u.s. state of alabama approved a new apportioned law the most restrictive in the nation criminalizes the procedure even in cases of rape or incest and punishes doctors with up to 99 years in prison while a similar heartbeat bill was signed in neighboring georgia earlier this artie's came up in the story. alabama and georgia have passed their widely decried

heartbeat bills these laws ban the terminations of pregnancy after 6 weeks even if the woman has been raped even if the fetus is not viable they make no exception and not surprisingly these bills have been rather controversial this is the most extreme abortion ban that's ever been passed so there's a higher penalty for doctors who perform these operations then for most rapists this is a travesty and i pray for all these women and young girls who will suffer at the hands of the system these are the eat it's making decisions for women in america governor i.v. shame on you celebrities are now speaking out actress alyssa morano is pulling a page from the old greek comedy list the strada and calling on women not to have sex with men until the laws are overturned and certain voices are calling on big corporations like amazon delta airlines and coca-cola to boycott anti abortion states i think if a woman doesn't want to have and i think that should have the option to be decided

as the mayor here in the seventy's to pass through versus wade because women were still going to worship just and say but it's not just the pro-choice side that is getting fired up anti-abortion activists are furious about new was in new york and virginia now these bills allow for a doctor to take into account physical emotional and even a woman's age when making the decision to terminate a pregnancy at any point and needless to say conservatives have gotten fired up by the implications of these laws i think it's good news why is that a bill banning abortions after a woman has been pregnant for 6 weeks is not to return to the dark ages what's your answer my answer is something called science human life exists at conception it ought to be protected abortion has never been popular in the state of alabama it applies only in a state where a strong majority agrees with it were reflects that community's values will. i was rigid so i think anyone who cares about the end born would have been it is inhumane

it is immoral in my opinion and this is what i'm fighting against the anti-abortion side is now calling for drastic action it's time the millions of commonsense pro-life americans canonically boy quote new york virginia new mexico and all the other insane states that will not protect the babies native new york pro-lifer gather outside like the new stations with pro-life signs show the world your numbers boycott new york boycott new york seriously don't go there if everyone who's pro-life refuses to visit there we could cripple the tourism industry i decided to find out how new yorkers feel about these new laws they're awful they're terrible for people men and women you need to make a choice should be at the ability to make a choice if you don't have that ability it's not going to work i have mixed feelings i could see both sides i don't like some of the comments that were made about women and rape but i also have respect for life and do think there is

a point where we need to be more mindful of when we're doing certain things this is an old fight in american politics between 2 groups that just won't see eye to eye and it seems that the powers that be have picked this longstanding divide among the american people and said ready set fight it could go all the way up to the supreme court again caleb up an artsy new york. all right let's turn attention to france where they're hoping skirmish is in part a speech when police yellow vests protesters who are out again at nationwide for the 27th weekend in a row just live pictures right now on the screen here overlooking the city a lot of protesters gathering just before nightfall earlier and the latest rallies came in spite of the president's attempts to address the growing swell of popular over falling living standards as they have done for the past 8. the old a week before next week's kingly fault european parliament at election which be

very interesting to see the results of that from a french point of view last week by the way. yet for the yellow vests a lot of people are this weekend. let's have a look now at some of the arabia where heavy rains have caused flooding near the city of the time. the kingdom's meteorologists had been warning of torrential rains in recent days it is clear from media reports whether anyone is injured but local residents have been told to take all necessary safety precautions. well that's how you're solving uses shipping but do not stray too far because the red ducted tonight team are standing by to give us a left turn to look at the week. after

the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next. different clubs on one hand it is logical to go from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and a fresh perspective i'm used to surprising. if you think. i'm going to talk about football not the or else you can sink i was going to do. by the way what is it that. in 2040 you know bloody revolution to the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be violent revolution is always spontaneous. is it. just a lawyer hiccup what if i mean your list book that you would put him in the new

bill is that i mean you split needle the former ukrainian president recalls the events of 24. those who took his invested over $5000000000.00 to assist ukraine in these enough to ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. led those who they are supporting cost but they have they don't care about the mayor they don't care about this that if you. don't eat the the kid is about their own agendas. and so we must have for a long time you can be really a civil war that continues for 4 months time. or the your there

are. no muslims your exacted tonight this is a come as you are americans in america covering america news are called foreign agents. so you've probably heard of vice news writes it originated as vice magazine it started out as a fun nihilistic hipster media outlet it was a kind you go to find out how best to have sex with someone you don't know while injecting heroin in your ass cheeks. you know the quote the cool kids did but a funny thing happened on the way to counterculture stardom the corporate pro war powers that be bought up vice and at the prospect of switching gears and becoming a hipster propaganda. outlet for our u.s. empire vises management responded. grab the money again man out around.

this came as quite a shock seeing as vices motto since its earliest days has been who gives a crap about it again i am we were all floored. in order to find out why vice has collapsed into a pile of bull let start of a good vice was co-founded by all rights hero gavin mcinnes who have to leave in vice in 2008 founded the proud boys considered by many to be a racist massage in effect neal fastest group and sure enough the charlottesville terrorist to tell killed has a higher was a member of the proud boys so even from the beginning life was run by really upstanding people i mean. tough with a lot 7 of people you'd introduce your grandma you know because because when you're rooted in neo fascism what could go wrong. after the act it mcginnis the vice organization and co-founder shane smith made a shift to

a more respectable news outlet as seen here. and they got cozy with the obama white house how cozy well the white house deputy chief of staff under obama a little mastro monaco became chief operating officer of vice media vice began selling american imperial wars to a younger hipper generation that was skeptical of the normal political politician bowl but because vice celebrates drug use and sexual freedom it's more trusted by millennial making it a perfect outlet for slipping in neo con neo liberal empire propaganda hey in a moment we'll tell you how important it is for the u.s. military to bomb democracy straight up libya but 1st here's how awesome it is to mix mali blow and rebel. and then but judge it. you might die but.
