the numbers the site if it is production lot for manufactured in 2018 k.v. stands for the arms factory v. for value of a place in serbia where the arms factory is and thanks to those leaked documents it appears the us military purchased a lot for from crusade military factory last year then it was a matter of following the paper trail how those shells were brought transported mog for the afghan army and ended up with isis in yemen report the discovered all this is certain in her findings oh. no weapons of war are. where the birth. or the claims you've made damaging of course is true for the us 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
3:04 pm
there i was right in the beginning. i don't know that people. were all sent. where or was i 85 and i had a very fine view. of the earth and they are. then in the shipping government. and on the label. this there is the name of the company. there were either government or. the weapons on behalf of the arm and there is also a shipping of that so it's not all to. like he back to the us government although there is indication an intimation about the us they didn't know that we. were insured the
3:05 pm
documents speak for themselves the arms factory made the shelves alien tech systems and contractor for the pentagon purchased $10500.00 of them for $8000000.00 it was transported to bug area coincidentally it was isis fighters were also holding a bulgarian made sold rifles next shipment was flown via silk way west lives and as a by johnny airline licensed to transport weapons for the pentagon to us bases next thing we know within the year shells are in isis is arsenal you need question all of this is how and who handed over those arms to the extremists there and minded the just isis that we've seen in possession of munitions made in but also. the way in syria various other jihad
3:06 pm
a scoop's remarkable coincidence for them to accidentally stumbled upon all of these weapons reportedly paid for by u.s. taxpayers now we've sent many many requests for comment to the pentagon to its contractors involved in all of this the airlines the basis but so far nothing. the british prime minister. has been dealt a huge blow to his plan of pushing through a no deal bragg's it after m.p.'s voted to block leaving the european union without a deal in place is now expected boris johnson will look to call a snap election for all the details we can cross live to our london based. 2 blows for boris johnson 24 hours what's next for the new pm. well quite let's go down the bracks rabbit hole again in a really dramatic day for british politics m.p.'s have voted in favor of the anti no deal bricks it bill which proposes it be postponed for
3:07 pm
a 4th time until january 2020 so having passed through the commons with a majority of 28 votes 327-4200 99 gates it's now set up to go to the house of lords for approval this will of course be a bit defeat for prime minister boris johnson who only earlier today in prime minister's questions made his q. on the bill very clear if you want government will take this country out of the european union tobin 30 those are genuine. you know it is the surrender bill currently being regrown going to go through all the issues. what does this all actually mean though well remains shouldn't start celebrating quite know yet because the lords does have to approve that and whilst many say that they're likely to do so there is a small group of touring peers who are planning to filibuster which is basically
3:08 pm
just talk endlessly in order to run down the clock before parliament's suspension so indeed if they did manage to do that the law wouldn't even have the chance to come into force by parliament time for parliament suspension on monday and so the u.k. might well still end up leaving the e.u. on the such 1st of october as is currently planned of course and all the important side of this as you mention is that boris johnson has now triggered a motion or table to a motion triggering a general election he's got his eye on the 15th of october as a date but in order for that to happen he would need the support of 2 m.p.'s and given the split within the comments over the bracks issue and indeed the infighting that work. are you seeing within the within the conservative party itself that's just not a given at this point in time just a reminder of course on tuesday evening 21 tool the m.p.'s voted against their
3:09 pm
government and what was really quite unbelievable cvs and have now been expelled from the party of course a win for boris in the polls would give him a fresh mandate to go to the european union try and renegotiate a new deal but it would also allow him to potentially bulldoze any of parliament's objections in the future here in westminster so i mean we expected the prime minister of course to have a battle on his hands with brussels but it seems that actually the bigger problem for him right now is with with westminster and with people right here with the very people who are supposed to be helping him walk towards delivering on the results of the 2016 referendum a disappointment i'm sure to see not just the board's johnson but for the 17400000 brits who voted to leave over 3 years ago now.
3:10 pm
reporting from london thanks us. now across live to allan scared former politician and british academic alan thanks for coming on to the program is all a bit of a mess we've we've seen this probably it's almost like history repeating itself are you surprised that parliament has passed the bill. no i'm not surprised in the least the majority of m.p.'s don't want britain to come out of the european union they were appalled and horrified at the results of the referendum they then said immediately afterwards that of course is good democrats they would abide by the results but as negotiations and call norm become bold and they decided they don't want to come on the european union and doing everything in the. other to delay exit but really delay exit with the whole that we will stay in the european union
3:11 pm
we might they might try and get us to have a 2nd referendum which would be pointless and be undemocratic they might try and revoke the legislation whereby we start in against the comma. but in any case they're doing everything in their path and that includes a large number of conservatives to people is it of course $21.00 last night voted against the government's policy in sunscreen so a knowledge of the conservative party. boris would like to have an election. but he can because he needs the support of labor on the 5 year palm intact to be able to get an election and labor says it won't have the election before the 31st of it. in case dollars wins and then repeals this act if it goes through is it probably will do this one possibility that you didn't mention that is that since the proceedings
3:12 pm
whereby the common seize the initiative and. full with this act which isn't really it's all because putting forward legislation is really the job of the government the government sees this is totally unconstitutional it's been made possible by speak of the house of commons who has. lost is a posh reality and is not doing everything. to help keep britain in the european union the government might. if the actress passed advise the queen not to sign it and the creed there for might refuse the act of consent in which case it would be null and void but it doesn't look as the government is going to do that i wish it would it would be perfectly legal because another constitutional crisis schools. but if it doesn't do that then labor is planning to allow for a general election but only off the 31st but. when they
3:13 pm
hope springs will be forced into asking for an extension haven't they was looking hopeful for boris at the beginning but you know in the short time that he's being in power. it doesn't look like he's going to manage to do what he thought he could what the following steps that he has to do to bring this policy together and get that backing in full. i don't think he can bring the conservative party together i mean he's purged he's got rid of 21 sitting m.p.'s who will not be allowed to stand as conservatives in the next general election so what he's done is to alienate those members of the conservative party who are. reluctant to go along with any kind of exit they might see members of the party who are in favor of remains my thing has been so brutal that m.p.'s that they might
3:14 pm
vote liberal democrat or the general election life is very tough for a while and since if it gets to the stage by the 31st. he hasn't got his do you mean union then he also has to figure with opus's from the brics a party led by nigel farage. if he has to go into the election being opposed by real breaks a t. is who really want to come on. a roll in favor of no deal. as well as liberal democrats and all the others then he might find it very very difficult since he's failed in his promise to take it. to actually win with dorothy yeah i mean you say that he's alienated key members you've described what could happen but there's a huge impact isn't there on. the trail that he's got from those rebel m.p.'s.
3:15 pm
it looks like nothing's going to move. well some they will have to move politics goes on that doesn't prove we'll have an election there's no doubt we'll have a general election this autumn but the question is when. boris would like the 15th of october before the next council meeting of the you mean union so that if you win you could then repeal this act and still take is that on the 31st of. the liberal party the opposition absolutely. but they won't cooperate to allow the election before the 3rd person. on which they hope to live forced borers by law to ask for an extension but after the. election and the election we want to be one of the most bitter but really 40 elections in british history. what's to
3:16 pm
look forward to or not alan scott at a full a politician british academic thanks very much allan for coming by time and discussing. thank you. now the u.s. person in france may all be complicit in war crimes and human rights violations in yemen that's according to a un report that was released on tuesday and not highlighted the role of all the sales to the satellite coalition. there are certain states who are well known to be supplying weapons that includes united states it includes the united kingdom and it includes france to name but 3 the group of experts has recommended that 3rd states prohibit the authorization about arms transfers and refrain from providing arms to parties to the conflict this is because of the prevailing risk that such arms will be used by parties to commit or facilitate serious violations of international humanitarian and human rights law the us britain and france make up
3:17 pm
the top 3 arms supplies to riyadh while the stock international peace research institute estimates that between 20152018 washington sold weapons with some 10000000000 dollars to society arabia the u.k. and france trial far behind with $2100000000.00 and over $500000000.00 respectively one of the authors of the latest u.n. report charles garraway told us the continuing flow of arms into yemen is perpetuating the war. this is a collective failure or be international community as a whole and it is the responsibility of the international community as a whole and inevitably those people who supply all those have a greater influence on the partners and therefore have a perhaps a greater responsibility to take action to try to prevent violations there is no doubt that it is the continuation of the supply of alms to. the called the recent un report is also called into question finding society arabia's joint incidence
3:18 pm
assessment team this body set up by riyadh claims to investigate violations by the coalition in yemen with transparency and impartiality charles garraway again told us that the group's analysis is superficial. the trouble is the coalition has not been cooperating with us the verse for we have very little information apart from what is in the public the most the press releases of the joint incident an assessment team could use are comparatively bland and so far as we can see they do not carry out a sufficient legal analysis what is needed is an independent and impartial assessment so this what we have tried to do but the difficulty with examining conduct to force them to is it's easy to look upwards from the result of the result will tell you very little it won't even tell you what the intended target was and what we need and what the world is access to the targeting persons so that we can
3:19 pm
find out what is going wrong because something clearly years with no end in sight to the bloody conflict in yemen children that are particularly vulnerable a crew from r.t. arabic as it is an orphanage in the country's capital of. i was playing while our sheep were grazing her the bomb exploded and so shrapnel flying nun to actually some towards me and then stumbling around the car only to find out that my family had been killed my mother and father my brothers and sisters they were all down the. line at the time because of the war the number of all fronts has risen so much that the orphanage just can't house them it's bleak for this children many of whom have
3:20 pm
to live rough on the streets. some big name american actors are coming under fire for suggesting a guest list a try fundraising and could be used as a guide who never to work with critics see the blacklist suggestion as a dangerous. listen when i asked times people did this have people ended up killing themselves yeah this is not a good idea ok listen you are all you were a fool 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
3:21 pm
a list of all attendees the public has of right to know haiti a chart kindly reports 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 they're pushing the case that falls apart from the sheer weight of it's the 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 to found out that leaning the right word is pretty bad for their career james woods was declared to be
3:22 pm
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 a. he 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 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 lock step behind the d.m. see if you don't go to that liberal fundraiser if you're not at that big guy you're not in iowa. you're not in the club and you're not being hired i mean it's
3:23 pm
a very lonely existence out there but it's a toxic environment and they they that is they react viscerally to the fact that you don't agree with them and like being with conservatives. there's a whole bunch of them that. people don't really. give a 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
3:24 pm
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 how the what 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
3:25 pm
ever 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 super side packed. for you too 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. some big deals on the table this wednesday as the economic forum kicks off in russia. for the last of president putin has already met with the indian prime minister to sign off on 25 trying to. a child that was falling for us. b.h.
3:26 pm
you actually thought countries clearly understand that nowadays we need. to achieve peace and stability and all corporation is very important to achieve this it's already become somewhat a tradition day one here in vladivostok at the eastern economic forum is usually when vladimir putin and his most important guests spend most of their time together getting involved in all kinds of activities and this year the number one guest at the forum is the indian prime minister and the run from modi so on wednesday it all began with the leaders met shook their hands and straight away boarded a motor boat to go to another town where there was a shipyard and that's a very special one because that was the location where a submarine intended for the indian navy was once modernized so that was something that around remote he really wanted to see and then eventually he said that he was
3:27 pm
deeply touched by the hospitality of the russian leader there was a funny moment when the 2 actually wanted to step on board the motorboats but they couldn't decide who to lead go 1st when mr modi and mr putin came back to this island the island of bruschi they went straight to business and more than 2 dozen agreements were signed as the indian delegation was meant by a team of russian ministers. as i saw the actual policy holders with the signatures and of the assistant from the hindi an embassy she was actually having a hard time taking all the folders away and here were talking about all kinds of cooperation from sending indian auster dogs to space in the future to join efforts in protecting the environment including of the tigers it turned out that tigers are very special for the indian prime minister and the russian president because here
3:28 pm
and vladivostok there was a species of tigers that was almost extinct but the thanks to the efforts of the russian government now that problem is solved and it turns out the 2 leaders do not share an affection for animals but there are plenty of other reasons why the 2 leaders are calling each other dear friends here's what mr modi said in an interview to the russian media there is a special chemistry in our relations a special lightness in this forum we will have a lot of time to discuss a lot of issues while the east economic forum is just beginning and on day 2 neurons are modi and vladimir putin will be joined by the leaders of malaysia mongolia and japan will be there for you. the thing is now i'm going back around 30 minutes time with all of our top stories so you can stay with us.
3:29 pm
seems wrong but i. just don't. get to say proud just because that's ok and it gains from it because the trail. when something find themselves worlds apart. just in the for common ground. during the great depression which i'm old enough to remember there was most of my family were unemployed. other wasn't it was bed in
3:30 pm
a much worse objective listen today but there was an expectation the things were going to get better. there was a real sense of hopefulness there isn't today today's america was shaped by the turn principles of concentration of wealth and power. reduced democracy attack solo down engineer elections manufacture consent and other principles according to no i'm chomsky one set of rules for the rich opposite several. that's what happens when you put her into the hands of narrow sector of will switch will is dedicated to increasing power for chills just as you'd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of america.
