i. was. in the headlines this hour millions of made weapons end up in the hands of terrorists in yemen and syria after they were told by the u.s. and its allies according to leaked documents obtained by a bold garion journalist. also coming up to jewish and muslim communities or. a region of decided to buy kosher and allow rituals lot of members but. all the good stuff so the. british prime minister boris johnson is defeated in parliament as m.p.'s block and no deal brecht's it and he's demanding a snap general election latest from london all but coming up to. oregon

afternoon just 1 pm you are mostly right now life marty's will use h.q. this wednesday september the 4th is kevin 0 in with you for your headline roundup in more detail than 1st then will focus again on the u.k. and the twists and turns of bricks and coming up shortly but 1st of all millions of serbia made weapons of reportedly fall into the hands of islamic state fighters in yemen and syria are the arms were bought by the united states and their allies seems according to documents seen by one bulgarian investigative journalist. loath to document that. you may not serve. actively and that you as. jackie o. go away that war and out this contract i was able to be

one for thinking that a lot of lead into and they'd like to. hear it in their propaganda video even yeah man. this is a complicated story across polymer augustus across the road so many twists and turns as mentioned traced this all but the uncomplicated forest well basically. these slimy state isis in yemen released the propaganda video recently and in it during the short sequence we were able to see a number of munitions more than shells and she had been provided not i'm asleep with a lot of documents memos internal communications between. various arms producers in serbia and other countries and the us military contractors and she was able to trace the numbers on those munitions from the factories all the way

how they ended up in the hands of the tree missing in yemen and syria yemen specifically in. this case and as i said she's only released part of the investigation but there's much more to come. the claims you've made me damaging of course is true for the u.s. government that based on these documents that you got hold of how hard was it to get them and how certain are you that they are genuine. i love that i've had from the beginning. i don't know or that people or of the word will send the word or was i 85 and a very fine view. of the earth they are thank you in the sitting government. and on the label of them are there

so you know this there is the name of the company or there were either government or worth of the weapons on behalf of the. gov and that is so foolish to think of that so it's not that hard to track. the supply he back to the us government also there is indication and information about the us federal income tax on the we left onto our oranges. it is quickly provide a few more details so what we saw in the propaganda video was 82 millimeter mortar shells marked with numbers and letters the numbers were 418418 means lot production lot for manufactured in 2018 k.v. stands for. which is the arms factory that produced these mortar shells which is located in serbia and the v.

stands for the town. by level so we know definitely where these shells were manufactured. once we once we know where the shells were manufactured when the shells were manufactured in c. easy to look up by us government contracts which are publicly available government contracts when they were purchased where they came from and how they were transported especially with the documents that she was provided and we learn that they were purchased for the us government on contract by a private company aliant systems which buys non us army standard weapons these are weapons that are not used by the us military but used by allies such as the afghan national police the iraqi army the united states buys them weapons from european manufacturers for use by these various partners and we learn that they were bought at back in the contract was signed in february 2018 for 10500

more the shells 82 millimeter mortar shells they were bought by the united states apparently the end user was listed as the afghan national army the afghan national police they were transported by silk ways which is an airline contracted by the u.s. military on an obscure flight path the xiu know there's a lot of a lot of confusing details here because u.s. military tried to hide how they transported them by reusing flight numbers in the racing previous ones they were. transported to what she says was gonna stand. and then back there by john how they ended up in the hands of extremists just you know literally months later we can only guess but what we know for certain is that these shells were bored transported and eventually lost by the united states so in a nutshell it's us purchase weapons ending up some of them in yemen not only in

yemen well this is the strangest thing because the same batch of weapons produced by the same factories in relatively short time spans and they're up in the hands of isis in yemen and up in the hands of terrorists al qaeda in syria which is you know geographically these are these are very different places the unique thing tying them together is that one of these weapons were bought by the united states by their contractors on behalf of the united states and paid for by u.s. taxpayers ok yes it is a complicated one to follow but thanks for clarifying a bit for us more because ever so you correspond thank you. and i can tell you're going to be hearing more from the i know we saw earlier on there on thursday she reveals another report claiming the possible smuggling of weapons from europe to syria by the u.s. now stories in britain as promised the british prime minister boris johnson is

a day for him demanding a snap election after suffering a humiliating defeat in parliament opposition members along with 21 conservative rebels back to motion to take control of the commons and gender away from the government that means they can now put forward a bill crucially to again maybe delay the ukase departure from the e.u. . yards to the right 328 the notion of left 301 with. the eye is having a lot thank you it was a this is speak your own a point of order i welcome tonight's vote that's what they want yet another point is this is a government with no mandate no morals and as of today no majority were. parliament is on the brink of wrecking any deal but we might do. we live in a parliamentary democracy to iraq we do not have

a presidency but a prime minister another day and more of the same but you never know what it's going to do next let's go cross to cape partridge in london so less than 2 months to go now still no further forward the government or the boris johnson in tatters is what it looks like you're. hi there kevin yes good morning from britain and yes it has been a momentous 24 hours and we're certainly set for more fireworks especially in parliament later this afternoon as all those votes and the ramifications of yesterday come true but let's quickly recap and see what has been going on i mean the issue is as you said all about bret's it but also really it's a question of power who is driving the brakes when the u.k. exits the e.u. on october 31st prime minister barak's johnson is determined that the u.k. will leave on halloween no ifs no buts and he also said he would do it with a deal or without a deal and it's that prospect of leaving without a deal this got parliament up in arms what they've said is effectively they think they deserve

a say on this or what they've done is that by forcing what amounted to an extraordinary motion yesterday they said to be voted to say whether or not they could have a say on whether they could introduce legislation to stop a no deal breaks it going through so what happened yesterday was intriguing and in constitutional term to startle terms political terms here in britain because you had 21 conservative m.p.'s tory rebels who effectively sided with the opposition in saying they think that should be a vote in parliament to say whether or not we can leave the e.u. with or without a deal now the ramifications of that are that the government said that those $21.00 rebels they will be expelled some of them grandees of the party including 2 former chancellors and also prior to that vote as well there was another historic moment as dr phillip lead defected from the conservative party to the liberal democrats immediately cutting boris johnson's working majority so what a day it was for the prime minister not only did he lose that vote as we heard 328230127 the difference there that does mean that effectively parliament has

taken control of the agenda today what that means is they can then have a vote saying to boris johnson we want you to go back to the e.u. and negotiate for more time we want an extension to january the 31st. the prime minister says i don't want to do that i've said it's going to be us out on the sochi 1st come what may i don't want anymore did the ring and the lane use very vociferous in that in his comments yesterday so the variance today is the 1st of them is going to be whether or not they're going to get that bill passed through and if that does happen then what they will do is vote on and election now the labor party the opposition they've said before that they would rather they had the no deal bill go through to make sure there would guarantees that the prime minister they said there were 20 much nations behind the scene that boris johnson can effectively say all right we'll have an election but we'll have it after brecht's it so there's a lot of infighting here and effectively it looks like it's all going to go back to the electorate anyway to make a decision and 3 years on i mean we seem to have gone absolutely nowhere because we

couldn't make a decision before not only that you have the party much nations you have the right side of the party saying that they want to be in an alliance with the breaks that party if it comes to any election going forward so that they have more chance of keeping that majority and going forward it breaks it so as it stands kevin 3 years on from the referendum boris johnson says he wants to enforce the referendum it doesn't look like he's getting his way in parliament so far part of it's fighting back saying they want to have power they want to have say they're the elected body from the people and at the end of the day it could go back to the people to decide what happens next cobol holder or british person or a businesses over the years and what's a plan for what not to plan for work or it will keep across the twists and turns but within the team in london there thanks for k. partridge. region of belgium has passed legislation the burnous traditional ways of slaughtering animals for muslim and jewish faiths allowing kosher slaughter requires the animals to be alive and healthy at the time they killed they were

throats cut pretty stunning isn't always use which is why the practice has been banned in several e.u. countries the new law in belgium those prompted much to blame a welfare groups say this law is not about targeting religious. it is absolutely not a ban on religious slaughter not at all it is a ban on slaughter without stunning even if you follow all the rules and use a very sharp blade and you do everything according to religious tradition even then the animal will suffer i think that the bans have more to do with 2 legged animals that with 4 legged ones if there is one positive thing that comes out of this latest attempt to tail religious freedom is to bring in close jewish and muslim communities everyone will just do our home or in some corner hidden from view i don't think that's what they want to achieve. we discussed the controversy then with a panel of experts who put together. it is the heart and debate the issue to say.

was death is quicker why historically for millennia jews have been the most merciful towards animals the eat well i'm sure no one really is cruel to animals on purpose but the fact remains that killing an animal when you really don't have to is always going to be cruel so no matter how you're going to kill the animal there is no nice way of taking away or a life which we don't have to take away well from if you're going to specter because of it is a step in the right direction to be a bit less crawl then to be more cruel if you like but the fact remains that we don't need to be doing this all together so it is it is progress you know it's about head out the animal the stand before they die but anything anyone throw at you know you can never be done in a kind way. to stand it in arabic it is what is lawful and clean and they have a standard for you to call it organic in our days so we need to have better standards for production of eggs out of a husbandry animal welfare animal slaughter we cannot have that on regulated use of

slaughter in industries we have people who have been incarcerated for mass killing coming out and then becoming swordsman just to get their kicks out snorting animals well i think there are issues in their way how they killed and a lot of slaughterhouse work oh you know they come from poor backgrounds. and they have no other choice but to do a job like this i mean even all of us as children we were asked what do we want to do as adults no one would say i want to kill animal after animal for 8 hours every day it's just not a job that anyone wants to be doing so by eating everything that is actual of fascism that is a form of fascism is not up to you to tell religious minorities a minority groups around the world how to live ultimately this is a test of tolerance and well fact entirely freedom the freedom to. really just beliefs fine then don't eat animals but those who want to should but those standards should be of the highest order people working in those slaughterhouses in in those industries they are suffering as well when you watch documentaries interviewing those workers they are suffering from mental health low pay horrible working conditions they get a lot of diseases they is very very monotone as warrigal they are to get over

underpaid for millennia now we have seen religious slaughter accepted as long as it's practice humanely and in accordance with religious practice is the be the more humane the death the animal is going through and you can only say something is humane if you would be willing to swap places with these animals but i don't think any of your interviewees or any of us in fact would like to swap places with do this poor animals whom we kill by the 1000000000 you know 50 $6000000.00 animals are killed every single year whenever i see a chick the truckload of chicken goes to the slaughter house in winter or in the hot days of summer. as the pain. but i wouldn't were have that to come as far. as to see it should be banned because if it true it would be banned that this is all this will solve part

of the problem of saddam and the will definitely will not go with malcolm do you see how much discussion we have to have about things that are less cruel less this less that how about we just don't know most all together which is. the natural instinct that humans have you know when we grow up as children we lost to play with animals would have to coddle them as well one 3rd of the chickens coming to stun sort of process makes them forbid and for people that muslims and jews to eat even some practicing christians now the question is religious freedom are you ok with religious groups having the freedom to kosher or not coming up a hollywood stars of the 5 for a list of who not to work with from a predictable source for that wall them about. what politicians do you should. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express interest. some want to be.

too great to be crooks it's like the 3 of the people. interested in the logs it. should. seem wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to see out just to educate and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

i guess hollywood stars have come under fire for suggesting the guest list for a trump fund raising event could be used as a guide for who never worked with many saw the black list suggest is a dangerous move caleb maupin reports. the prevailing voices in hollywood consider themselves to be woke progressive's extolling the use of tolerance and liberalism but not so much tolerance when it comes to conservatives actors debra messing and eric mccormack are calling for the list of attendees at double trump's recent beverly hills fundraiser to be made public because apparently celebrities should not be able to support the president please print a list of all attendees the public has a very to know haiti a charmed kindly report and everyone attending this event so the rest of us can be clear about who we don't want to work with banks conservatives are calling it

totalitarian liberalism i don't blame you i understand i wish i could denounce trump as i was offered quite a bit in return and it would make my life easier but i have refused to do so as i believe he is great for on nation and people you are entitled to your beliefs let others have their pushing the case that falls apart from the sheer weight of its own lunacy is low very hollywood community needs to be purged of this social and intellectual hygiene problem called conservative thinking but to be fair if people are taking a political stand going to a fundraiser shouldn't they be public about it aren't political donations a matter of public record well if you only would stars have found out that leaning the right word is pretty bad for their career james woods was declared to be a racist when it became clear that he supported donald trump furthermore stacey dash who is a mexican was declared to be racist when it turned out that she was a fan of the donald what's the nastiest thing someone in hollywood has said to you

about your politics everybody tells me i'm racist i'm a black mexican it's absolute white cursing people have actually said to me you're not black enough is the same mysterious having white people with ugly sweaters at christmas and grandma drunken i'd knock the snow white people and now they say black people have to think act speak a lick a certain way in order to be black enough. hollywood conservatives retain lee conceal their views fearing it could be a career killer to not follow the party line interestingly susan sarandon the leftist actress has also become the target of a lot of hate not for being a conservative but for being a hardcore bernie crab who refuses to march in lockstep behind the d.m. see if you don't go to that liberal fundraiser if you're not a big girl now you're not in that era. you're not in the club and you're not being hired i mean it's a very lonely existence out there but it's a toxic environment and they they that is they react this really to the fact that

you don't agree with them and i like being with conservatives. there's a whole bunch of them that. people don't really. give in to give a lot of attention to it's old news that hollywood leans towards the dems during the 2017 midterm elections more than $4000000.00 was donated by top hollywood exacts and stars now 99.7 percent of that money actually went toward the democrats that's according to hollywood reporter that cites the official results and statistics from the federal elections commission and hollywood's top $100.00 list only 3 have donated to republicans and during the 2016 elections 90 percent of hollywood's donations went to hillary clinton they even made an amusing ad only way we can prove that to you is by having lots of famous people lots of famous people lots and lots of famous people just kind of famous people repeating how important poor and important or important how important it is. kollywood has even threatened

to take action against those who don't adhere to their liberal values remember george's anti abortion law well there was a call for a boycott of the state we cannot in good conscience continue to recommend the industry remain in georgia if h.b. 481 becomes legal the movie world has always pushed back against traditional values however it also glamorizes well and the american dream values that are very important to american conservatives now hollywood is one of america's most powerful institutions and there is no question that it is not acting when it comes to its feelings about the donald the more you hate the more creative you hate especially in hollywood the more you. achieve and seek favor of your fellow hollywood types who in their right. mind in hollywood that whatever want anybody to know that they're exercising their 1st amendment right to support a candidate sometimes people really don't care necessarily for trump as much as

they do and consider this to be a good business move there are people who contribute to democratic causes republican and the like but it's a it's a. it's a silverside pact for you to openly in the hollywood or among certain areas new york busy as well where i am in silicon valley for you to even suggest that you support trump lionel ruffin of the need for this just to remind us to cross over these how many of us talk today biggest economic forum kicking off a promise to never enter a modis been talking to. president putin the big deals signed of 25 deals are ready for fun at moore's law to go home. to keep you posted for the afternoon i'm kevin on standby for next programs lined up here in your part of the world when we come back after this break.

today there are good tennis and bad evidence the bad news in yemen who the united states deems to be a threat to look to those one in syria the cia and the u.s. military were engaged in covert actions really throughout the world. where they were assassinating populist leaders they were backing up right away military windows funding an army was there's no any more because there's always a small piece for a really good. profit. thanks guys or financial survival guide next day saying yes i'm all going to start sampling travel resurfaced so be sure it's nothing are you going to get it back.

oh heck no let's use a repatriation scheme when we get the rest in 7 years. philip to step in a large kaiser report. well you know that they were kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. i mean they're in this small ball of sticks in a hardcore ships and it's. not. the little self the big fish already 90 percent of the dot. com are. cons 15 scoops 75 tons and they do it several times a day with a big fleet so no you get an idea on why. we have to understand we can all stay still and just. be with miss the

field going to the world. i'm doing this because i want them for the future world to the future generations to have out and enjoy the ocean we have. lists. all the good news one thing hopes hate it.

there is one organized force which traditionally plenty of fluids but with all its flaws it's been in the forefront of the. efforts to improve the lives of the general population that's organized labor it's also a barrier to corporate tyranny so it's the one barrier to this vicious cycle going on which does lead to corporate tyranny. earl for a major reason for the concentrated honest fanatic attack on unions are organized labor is they are a democratizing force. to provide

a barrier that defends workers' rights but also popular rights generally. and that it interferes with the prerogatives hour for those who own and manage in society. i should say said and a union sentiment in the united states among elites is so strong that the fundamental couper of labor rights the basic principle in the international labor organization is the rate of free association which would mean the right to form unions and us has never ratified. so i think the us may be alone among major sadie's and their respect. it's considered so far out of the spectrum of american politics it literally has never been considered. her number that the us has

a lawn or a violent labor history as. society. but they are. and had been very strong the by the 1920 s. in the period not unlike today who is virtually crushed robert reich right the baram buried. by the mincer is a beacon to reconstruct. truth a dozen or israel he himself was rather sympathetic to for chris if legislation that would be an adventure the general population nobody had to somehow get past.
