millions of made weapons reported. in syria. according to documents. for the prime minister defeated a. vote for legislation. he's now demanding a general election. muslim community furious after.
9:01 am
millions of weapons made in serbia reportedly fallen into the hands of islamic state fighters in yemen and syria after they were bought by the united states and its allies this is all according to documents seen by. journalist. this is anonymous there was a. document about i'm. not actively pursued and the u.s. soccer mom tracking oh the. war or so on those contrasts i'm also able to identify one particular lot a lot of electrons in the sand. they hear it in their stuff again the
9:02 am
video in c.n.n. well if those documents prove to be genuine then weapon seen on the islamic state video in yemen could well be said the in mags being sold to u.s. military contractors originally a senior correspondent i guess the antonia told me how the weapons could have ended up in terrorist. the shells in question 82 millimeter mortar shells marked with the numbers for 18 which stands for a lot of production lot for manufactured in 2018 the letters k v standing for the crew seek arms plant actually located in value of a which is in serbia the letters. after that she claimed the information she had with what she saw and it was a paper trail of paper trail leading from crew ship where they manufactured these shells 82 millimeter. mortar shells that were bored by united states arms
9:03 am
contracting alien systems on the united states for 8000000 united states dollars. in the amount of $10500.00 mortar shells how they were then exported how they were . transported to the to the middle east are now there and ended up in the hands of isis and we challenge the. confidence in these findings if. there are one or. then where. either or the claims you've made extremely 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 was there i was in the beginning. of this. i don't know for the people or of the world some will send the word or was i 85 and
9:04 am
a very fine view. of course is they are thank you in the shipping government. and on the label of them or their show this there is the name of the company or if there were you have government or birth to birth the weapon on behalf of the arm and there is also the shipping of that so it's not a 0 to track. kids like he back to the us government also there is indication that information about the us thank you know. we. were. it's worth mentioning that she was identified lot of talking about. flights that repeated so in essence you can track the flights that took these various transport these various
9:05 am
weapons because the united states use the same flight numbers erasing previous flights we're talking about the companies paying for the united states so that the united states as an entity was listed nowhere we're talking about sums that just don't match up with who came out and uses the book missing so the united states for example bought these specific shows that then ended up in the hands of isis the end user was listed as the afghan national police of all entities is yemen the only place that this terrorists are only getting these u.s. purchased with no and that is what is very interesting to me the more the shells that up in the hands of isis that was just. one example is also identified i mean initial shells weapons assault rifles in the hands of jarvis in syria but we're also told by the united states via. arms procurement contractors
9:06 am
weapons that ended up in the hands of al qaida nevertheless we've contacted all entities involved the arms manufacturers themselves the shell companies that the united states use the contractors that it had the united states itself and we're waiting for comments on the matter from them. ok let's now bring in political analyst chris bambery is in our westminster studio hi again chris what you expect to happen next then do you think the authenticity of these documents leaked that they are not will be scrutinized further or just out now denied. no tonight because the u.s. government will not want to be phoned if he has been supplying these weapons i suspect given what happened if you remember in syria was the united states was supplying the so-called moderate rebels with weapons but of course they were immediately more or less seek an over by given to isis i suspect that they've been supplying weapons to the saudi arabia's allies in yemen in the civil war in that
9:07 am
country i know they've been know they've been caught caught outs and this will be embarrassing but my expect will get bigger fish cheek in a form which is simply not responding to any of the questions should be nice to in effect a denial why would american contractors be buying weapons from serbia given washington's own huge arsenal. it's a very interesting question why would they be buying weapons from serbia not exactly an ally of the united states using croatia as the base from which to supply them now that's another interesting question creations don't vary from where i live with israel receiving heavy weapons supplies from israel is israel as well. i'm interested to know what the european union will say about this because this is a member states of the european union being acted as the conduit for these weapons and then you know who are these weapons going to whether we know we know they're
9:08 am
going to the gulf are they being taken over by the authorities there or by the so days are the american supplying them to syria to to yemen certain a large number of questions which have to be i have to be asked here but i'm also i am interested the fact that croatia is beginning to appear as coming out time and time again in terms of these sorts of affairs and i think question should be asked of what creation is a boat in brussels by the european union in conflicts where territories change hands constantly you would expect the weaponry to do the same do you see this as a possible reason for i still claiming well yes. it's a possible reason but as i see if you remember in syria there was a whole series of cases where the americans supplied weapons to the so-called moderate rebels and those moderate abel's either turned out to be isis al qaeda cetera or they simply handed them on or indeed they were captured by isis but one
9:09 am
way or another the weapons in americans finally then ended up in isis hands and if they've been doing the same in yemen arming the saudis allies in yemen well i suspect you know annoying the similarities in the house of saud and isis in theology you asked the dividing line between you know moderately hard to call proof syrian. groups in yemen is very moderates but the violence between them and isis must be terribly then so i think is a very fluid situation and of course that the obvious question is why are you supplying arms into the yemeni conflicts given the murderous nature of that conflict and given the fact those weapons almost didn't quit end up in the hands of isis al-qaeda what have you and what america is doing here begs a lot of questions but is clearly in conflict with the need for humanitarian intervention to stop this civil war rather than stalking its fires in yemen appreciate you taking the time out to talk to us again chris belittling as chris
9:10 am
bambery ed london thanks for that. region in belgium has passed legislation that bans traditional ways of slaughtering animals for the muslim and jewish faith how well and kosher slaughter requires the animals to be alive and healthy they are killed by having their throats cut priest stunning isn't always used which is why the practice has already been banned in several e.u. countries the new law in belgium has prompted a lot of debate but animal welfare groups say the law is not about targeting religions. 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 the bounds of more to do with the 2 legged animals than with the 4 legged ones if there is one positive thing that comes out of this latest attempt to curtail religious freedom it's the bringing closer together of the jewish and muslim communities everyone will just do our home or in some corner
9:11 am
hidden from view i don't think that's what they want to achieve. here on our to your panel look to the what they for the new law means for religious freedom and animal cruelty. is the horten debate the issue to see. whose death is quicker historically for millennia jews have been more busy merciful towards animals to eat well i'm sure no one really is cruel to animals on purpose by 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 our life which we don't have to take away well from if you're going to spect of a cause if it is a step in the right direction to be a bit less cruel 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 it out there animals are stunned before they die but silly thing and i once
9:12 am
wrote you know you can never be done in a kind way. stand 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 can have the unregulated use of slaughter and industries we have people who have been incarcerated for mass killing coming out and then becoming swordsman just to get their kicks out sorting animals well i think there are issues in their way how i killed and a lot of slaughterhouse workers you know they come from poor backgrounds and they have no other choice but to do a job like this i mean even of us children if you were asked what do we want to do as adults no one would say i want to kill an 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 thing that is a form of fascism is not up to you to tell religious minorities and one or 2 groups around the world how to live ultimately this is a test of tolerance and well fact entirely freedom the freedom to turn
9:13 am
a craving for religious beliefs fine then don't eat animals but those who want to should but those standards should be. 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 work 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 these religious practices the be the more humane the death the than animal is going through and you can only say something is humane it would be willing to swap places with these animals but i don't think any of your interviewees or any of your viewers in fact would like to swap places with do this poor animals whom we kill by the 1000000000 you know 56000000 animals are killed every single year whenever i see a. truckload of chicken. goes to this slaughter house
9:14 am
in the winter or in the hot days of summer. through the pain. but i wouldn't have it's 2 weeks to come as far as to see that it should be banned because if it true it would be banned that this is all this will solve part of the problem of dominic and will definitely will not go with malcolm for 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 harm on the most altogether which is actually the natural instinct that humans have you know when we grow up as children we laugh to play with animals would love to cuddle them as well one 3rd of the chickens coming to stand 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 eat and kosher or not. this is our leading american actors are ruffling a few for this for suggesting a kind of hall of shame for fellow performers who back donald trump it's among our
9:15 am
stories after the break. you know world of big partisan movies lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream 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. make this manufactured to send to the public well. when the ruling
9:16 am
classes protect themselves. in the final. be the one percent. in the middle of the room. welcome back the british prime minister boris johnson is demanding a snap election after suffering a humiliating defeat in parliament last night opposition members in 21 conservative party rebels back to motion to put forward a bill that will again delay the u.k. to bought it from the european union house a common sort of a showdown earlier during the session of prime minister's questions. was there who was a who was government will take this country out of the european union all october
9:17 am
the 30 risers anyone who stands in our way it is the surrender bill currently being prepared is very very. the opposition and i ask what's proposals have been put to the european union and the prime minister seems absolutely incapable of answering any rational human being would assume therefore none have been put don't negotiate in public and we are making was actually was i know he's worried about free trade deals with america but there's only one car in a kids she came with i can see this house was not thanks we have seized control from a prime minister who is being even like a dick tito more than a democrat. i like the west mr barrow now then and corresponding k. partridge highback hey you were watching across all this stuff pm q it's always a bit of
9:18 am
a parliamentary rough and tumble but the knives were rarely out today when they what's this all mean for breaks it. hi there colleen yes it certainly was an entertaining pm q so it has to be a sort of a storm and then there's a lot at the moment before the other storm which is going to be those discussions about trying to stop a no deal breaks it in the votes the discussions later but yes that's come back to prime minister's questions i'm so as we heard there jeremy corbyn he was fighting off against boris johnson the usual spots that they have boris johnson use the same language that we used to before but the new words were a surrender bill that's how he's describing this bill to stop and no deal grex it that's coming up this often that they are going to debase surrender bill was the word he used he also said to delay rex it was to did there and to delay and he also said that any economic forecasters that were miserable were all project fear and doom and gloom in response though jeremy corbyn you heard some of the words that were said to him by boris johnson he said something about a coronation chicken i think that was in loosely referring to u.s. trade deals and also he mentioned that jericho we had
9:19 am
a friend in caracas and mentioned that he might also be caracas but still jerry called he wasn't taking the bait or even you could say the corner on this particular issue he said that boris johnson you heard his arguments to he said that he was avoiding questions avoiding scrutiny that he didn't have any plans for post breaks in that he didn't have any plans to discuss with the e.u. strictly political stuff but in the meantime though ahead of those prime minister's questions and also ahead of all those debates that we're going to have on potentially 2 votes this afternoon the have been a couple of developments the judge in scotland from the highest court said that boris johnson's decision and he's planned the suspension of parliament was lawful very minds the opposition had said they're being m.p. saying that this is being boris johnson trying to stop the stop people discussing the prospect of and they were trying to stop that deal in the meantime as well nigel farage as well he's come on board saying thank you very much those city is on the right wing of the conservative party who'd like to do a pact with his party should it go to
9:20 am
a general election i mean again that comes to the vote later as to whether that happens but on the flip side. the parliamentary labor party they also had a meeting and they unanimously decided that jeremy corbyn should that be a general election should hold he should all hold off on doing that and after november the 1st so we've got the low at the moment they're all talking money after the chancellor he's discussing his spending review but it's all cranking up towards those votes and those debates later this afternoon this evening or about whether or not they can stop and no deal whether there could be a general election here in the u.k. . changing by the hour i will keep water i'm out for now though ok partridge in westminster thank you. thanks to some big name american actors are coming under fire for suggesting a guest list for a trump fundraising event could be used as a guide for who know how to work with critics of the blacklist suggestion as a dangerous move. listen when i asked time people did this have people
9:21 am
ended up killing themselves yeah this is not a good idea ok listen to you are all you were for you joe want to work with is your personal business the prevailing voices in hollywood consider themselves to be woke progressive's extolling values 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 of right to know haiti a chart kindly reports on everyone that attending this event so the rest of us can be clear about who we don't want to work with blanks 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
9:22 am
believe he is great for on nation and people you are entitled to your beliefs let others have their they're pushing the case that falls apart from the sheer weight of its 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. to me you're not black enough is the same mysterious having white people with ugly sweaters at
9:23 am
christmas and grandma drunken i'd knock the snow white people and now they say black people have to think act speak and they can certain way in order to be black enough hollywood conservatives routinely 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
9:24 am
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 used by having lots of famous people lots of famous people lots and lots of famous people just a ton 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
9:25 am
on industry remain in georgia if h.p. 481 becomes law 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 would ever want anybody to know that they're exercising their 1st amendment right to support a candidate sometimes people really do care necessarily for trump as much as they do 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
9:26 am
a super side packed 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 check us out on facebook and twitter from all headline stories about be back here if we go next to the international update in just over half an hour to see if it. now imagine it out 3 and you're watching going underground while we're away we're going to be showing some of your favorite episodes of this season coming up in this show we ask award winning human rights lawyer cherie blair q.c. about bringing together donald trump and so de lover of to free a russian citizen detained in kuwait but says the climate crisis our 3rd world war
9:27 am
we are down to british environmentalist johnson porridge y.-e. was name checked by one of britain's greatest actors mark rowlands when he cut ties with the world shakespeare company of a privatized fossil fuel company b. all this is all going up in today's show i'm going to busy law firm go on the a strategy with me is the q c cherie blair sheree thanks for inviting us in to the law firm let's begin with why you are defending a convicted alleged russian embezzler martial law as a river said as a 10 years hard labor and find some to $2000000.00 well in the 1st place he's not convicted conviction was actually overturned in may and why was it overturned because it was based on flawed and indeed forged evidence and she had not been given the opportunity to put her side of the case so the trial actually was a travesty did not comply with fair trial procedures and finally the court of appeal in kuwait did overturn that decision so she isn't currently on bail awaiting
9:28 am
trial so she worked she's a russian national she works for a company called k g l and stand and you're referring there to documents that are proven to be forgeries the accusation that there was this half a $1000000000.00 in a dubai account that was and now where it was true in the sense that marsha had it in investment firm and she made some in. vestments including from the the kuwaiti port authority as part of that fund and those investments were indeed successful particularly one that she did in the philippines as a result of which the money was to distribute to the investors is was transferred into an account and dubai when extraordinary the attorney general kuwait asked the dubai court to freeze that money so that's why the money wasn't paid out it was because the kuwait prosecution authorities froze it eventually thanks to the efforts of our american colleagues it was unfrozen and the kuwaiti port authorities
9:29 am
received at least 4 times their investment back from that fund so that was just a nonsense in relation to the forged documents extraordinary thing about that is this claim 1st started because a disgruntled employee who just sacked went to the authorities complaining about her. subsequently an auditor audited the books of the port authority and produced 2 documents which he said showed that they had been claiming for services rendered to the port authority which were not actually jews at all subsequently that very person was convicted of forging those documents and was sentenced to 6 months imprisonment he in fact absconded so isn't in prison and very recently in the last month came back to kuwait where the kuwaiti court even though he didn't being convicted have allowed him out on bail while his appeal against
9:30 am
that is that the contrast to what happened to marcia couldn't be more stark somebody convicted and absconded marcia who's been under investigation this is been hanging over her head and since 2012 she's been actively pursued by the authorities is 2015 so much so that she's been on bail when she was on bail and her american green card expired she wasn't able to go and go to the states because she only and the bail conditions are like there are accuser and yet she was then detained for 472 days since november 27th 17 until just this june while he has been treated completely different is very arbitrary it's basically a personal problem with spiraled out of control why would they want to pick on her the great judicial system.
