4:10 pm
will that give his considerable operational benefits reducing logistic drag but it will show you get the army on the right side of the environmental argument especially in the eyes of our next generation of recruits who increasingly make career decisions based on a prospective employers environmental credentials. earlier this year the british army launched a new recruitment drive targeted at young people the campaign emphasise that the army could use the compassion of snowflakes the self belief of millennial zz the confidence of selfie take is and the focus of phone zombies and the push for a greener and more inclusive army isn't limited to the u.k. if u.s. democratic party presidential candidate elizabeth warren gets her way the american army will be adding fighting climate change to its to do list we don't have to
4:11 pm
choose between a green military and then a factor one my plan would improve all servicemembers readiness and safety and the chief cost savings for american taxpayers together we can fight climate change and doing military exercises are notoriously bad for the environment munitions can take hundreds of years to degrade and toxic materials like lead can spill out and pollute groundwater back in 2017 the u.s. government put out a request for the development of environmentally friendly training bullets both the u.s. and u.k. militaries seem determined to put the eco into warrior and recruit some of them at the same time that's great brilliant good for them i don't know if that's necessarily a thing that's going to attract young people necessarily i think. i did i maybe we
4:12 pm
were some people but aren't. sure it would be better for some people. i've never thought about. but i don't consider that likely but i think to be a need for seems to be door but. what do. well there were no well going greens to go to. school you know trot young people at the end of it i use do you want to be put in a foreign mine and get killed you know as it must what you drink. out of i can wearing eco friendly and being 15 of them out of that period community the bathtub drain i mean doesn't kind of speak to me in period sounds like a good idea about whether it would be silly we're going to need money in the who's going to go. and that's what we need is. not where you have a. child participation has now steve

a pail of the clean water of all regulations that control the use of chemicals and i want to so since the idea is to see bureaucratic burden on firms but it's also brought to the surface that us want to security could be compromised. like most of us donald trump enjoys the occasional refreshing glass of clean water. but he doesn't seem as keen to keep the water clean as his predecessor truck has recently lifted obama era restrictions and regulations on the spraying of chemicals and pesticides near streams wetlands and other bodies of water in new wood is definition to provide hardworking americans the regulatory certainty they need to invest and develop and build new projects that improve lives in the environment so what has changed well during the obama era if you wanted to use certain chemical
4:14 pm
pesticides and sprays in your body of water you need a permit now you don't there's certainly going to be a lot of rejoicing about this from certain sectors many american farmers and manufacturers felt that they were being crushed by the obama era regulations intended to curb water pollution it would be great. farmers didn't have to hire an army of consultants and lawyers just to be able to farm now the new rules are being criticized as overly vague with the decision about what bodies of water get protected being decided on a case by case basis now the farmers are overjoyed but that feeling is not being shared by people in communities that depend on streams and rivers many seats and even with unsafe drinking rutan and it's very important to us that now it's not the time to cut back on clean water protections now the american farmers haven't been too keen on donald trump lately due to his trade war with china so perhaps rolling
4:15 pm
back these clean water regulations will help when i'm some point with the agricultural sector regardless environmentalists are up in arms but as many gamblers have said before you can't win of all. art see new york on kong and you is the 15th weekend of protests with the tourism industry taking the biggest blow as the crowded streets and left off and to or in the story after the break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy for him to let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.
4:16 pm
what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president interim. or somehow want to be rich. but you're going to be crooks this is what before 3 of the more people get. into st paul's in milwaukee. there should be a. welcome back to the program south korea has filed a complaint with the international olympic committee over japan's plan to use a military flag during next year's games in tokyo seoul insists the rising sun and

a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us. military rape is a very very traumatizing thing to have happen but i've never seen trauma like i've seen from women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished to be a friend and almost 10 year career which shows very invested in and i gave a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an issue of our in violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether that's a man or woman. of hers financials well i don't buy it i prized own futures. i think most of friday as the last of us live from the future.

well we've undergone a corporate coup d'etat in slow motion. all 35000 lobbyists in washington they write the legislation they write the bills. all it takes is one phone call from somebody on the hill to someone in the pentagon saying hey turn on the dogs the hills out to get our program the guys in the senate are on board we need you to turn on the gucci shoes guys to straighten this thing out the guy's been the lobbyist. and what this does is just lock the system up that's the whole name of the game it's it's called political engineering and i'm like political science political engineering is real. one of the most important things done understand it essentially creates what we call
4:29 pm
a screen. and it's like motion machine for getting ever increasing defense budgets the way we do it is by downplaying the future consequences to start a new weapon we over promises performance under promise its costs we then systematically spread dollars jobs and profits to as many congressional districts as quickly as possible so that everybody has skin in the game. the people who are invested in this day or people like the largest defense contractor in the world more than they would die before they see. what's. going to change the world. we're probably already working. good margin basically similar to last to push them to goals you know in all branches of the government. of the whole. and this is the group
