but the. real trick is what. is the bottom. like you know that i got. was that we. would. be. welcome on the watch of the i robot and on top of all. they do you brought this story to my attention this morning and it's a doozy to think that like yours is british intelligence officer that or in this part time but also this like major executive brother tauriel of twitter that's incredible and you know apparently mcmillan's involvement with the something some group was made public what he disclosed to of all places on his linked in page. absolutely insane the british army by the way did the client to disclose anything

about mcmillan's duties with the 77th grade or say whether or not you know twitter helps with it or involved or that they're basically saying you know we know nothing we can say anything like nothing at all unusual or usual. a confirmation or didn't write well twitter responded a spokesperson from twitter had told the independent that it was quote an open neutral and dependent service and matter of you mr mcmillan service as an army reserve found no violations of its policies they went on to declare saying employees who pursue acts volunteer opportunities are encouraged to do so provided they're complying with our company guidelines i find it a little hard to believe that the company divide guidelines. say that you can be working for a country's military while you're. making decisions. what sites.

and are allowed to use the site and which aren't and the idea that you're an editorial meeting you're sort of shaping this story it's a little hard to believe. that there's that. i mean especially with your figure that works in a unit that's designed to work in information to control. well that is the difficult they are about a lot of things whether it's taking away. because you're part of a certain news organization or what have you or political organization. it's a little weird considering twitter is very particular about. i mean they don't care about rape and death threats when they come to women but they're but they got this . specialist. who clearly is not doing any of his job it is deciding who gets on there. and they say it's not.

the accepted one. speaking of folks who like exercise from twitter. when asked about the controversy asked him earlier today to make adams the executive director for the ron paul is to peace and prosperity he told me and i was here watching the hawks but considering twitter's relentless assaults on users opposed to the dominant united states united kingdom foreign policy narrative it is hardly surprising to learn that one of its senior executives is in reality a government information warfare specialist he went on to say twitter continues to ban users such as myself in blatant violation of their own terms of service the company should be held to account for its fraudulent business practices and for acting as a facto arm of western government propaganda and are then mince words and feels about this. i wouldn't i wouldn't go as far as to say that there are facts. western government propaganda because i'm not really sure who western

government. down to. i mean there's a 1000000 people going i mean you probably should say that or you probably should we've had researchers on the show talking about how this was the paris review back in during vietnam and the idea of pushing people away from communism socialism i mean. it's kind of that. you know it really is i think. there's only going to be one narrative of but i don't know if it's somebody coming down from up on high saying like only push this narrative it's more that kind of like universal culturally accepted narrative when you're living in the western governments kind of thing and it's man it's i just you would think twitter would be smart enough to avoid p.r. . why would you think twitter was smart enough to not hire government

propagandists and for nation agents who literally want to tell people how to trick people into thinking a certain way air voting a certain way or way too much credit i'm not sure if i had any of that and that's where i think i have the sort of i have to laugh that is not twitter. really you're shocked don't be shocked don't not so surprise. coffee tea or micro this is a choice some consumers made when they opted for the kind of extra bag that uses not for the bags that you're saving a tree of their well artsy america's bills the t.v. a micro plastics. if you're accusing one of those fancy nylon tea bags the billions of micro plastics are seeping into every cup of tea you drink and while we do consume plastic and other products for starters say this one tops the list around 2006 the nylon tea bag was thought to be

a fancier alternative to paper without the soggy remains well it turns out there is indeed a trade off according to a new study out of mcgill university in montreal once a single plastic tea bag is at a temperature of $203.00 degrees fahrenheit $11600000000.00 micro plastics and $3.00 a 1000000000 plastics are released into the cup now nano plastics are even smaller than a piece of hair possibly small enough to cross cells and permeate the body in the study scientists fed the plastics to microscopic water fleas the study author said they swim crazily in the exposure to the plastics really stressed them out their exoskeletons became ballooned leaving researchers wanting to study the topic further the world wide fund for nature estimates the average person consumes 5 grams of plastic a week the equivalent size of a credit card and based on that research experts say we consume more than 260 grams of plastic each year but this new study alludes to the fact that we need be

consuming even more plastic than we thought and the effects of micro plastics on the body have not been fully studied experts say it's easy to mistake nylon tea bags for silk ones if you're unsure health professionals say the best way to drink your tea is through the loose leaves. with a reusable strainer in los angeles and sweets r t. w blood delved into the micro plastic scourge on the show a way back before they were actually banned. in the day when it was little micro b. ads that were in everything you know all our face crabs and everything and make her be there to space and to make her be as they went through and then they realize oh wait there's a bunch of other stuff does it shock you that. no it's the last say if it's plastic you're going to get micro plastic from make you're going to get mad from it and whoever tells you that there is a magical plastic that can break down into biodegradable composable it ain't out

there it isn't out there if it's real plastic if it's breaking down it's breaking and into something like that since my current nano plastics literally only thing you can do this is a petroleum product so why would you want to product made from oil so you look at those and this is the thing you so the idea was you were buying these much more expensive now understand that these kinds of teabags these nylon ones make up a very small percentage of actual tea drinkers most they say peter f. coogee was a president the tea association of the united states of america very important my ancestors threw in the harbor and started fights but even they got a plastic tea bags anyway only about 5 percent of them are these nylon kind the idea was that oh there's no paper or there's no cotton or there's nothing that will come out and i rather eat trees in the wood and paper the plastic so it's really in the middle place that is everywhere you know like she was

cussing at the like you know using loose leaf tea the voiding disposable packaging is actually a healthier alternative for people who are honestly and here's a great thing anything you buy in bulk not in a single use anything is going to be cheaper. so ultimately you can buy a better quality t.v. that doesn't have pesticides it doesn't have these things that's maybe better for you and maybe your favorite flavor is someone who makes you happy go spend you can spend a little more are not like you could literally if you buy it now we're safe which most things do it's actually cheaper per ounce monumentally cheaper and you only have to use the one can use a french press there's many ways to make a cup for my fans in the u.k. too but not with a lousy tea bag just. to back off with the plus. watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on our social media be sure to check out watching the hawks the odd cast which is now

there. is the door open. you see you and then you say that's very very directly in the middle or it's the windows when they saw the silhouette feeders. regardless of her emotional plea and maintaining she feared for her life. the jury did not buy it taking less than 2 days to find her guilty attorney as lee married who represents john's family says botham did not deserve to die and his family deserves justice many activists and followers of this case agree the jury made the right decision reporting in washington ashley banks our team. it's not just for us from hong kong that have seen their share of protests this year as the island nation of haiti saw thousands take to the streets once again over the weekend thanks to years of government fraud and abuse an economic crisis with a deepening food and fuel shortages currently gripping the country here's our 2 americas john hardy with the story. violence and anger in port au prince haiti as rioters

looted and ransacked businesses along a busy commercial district the most savage in the city's airport and organized if a story a police station and setting at least 2 buildings on fire the country has been gripped with chaos as protesters demand the resignation of the haitian president job no moyse and some fear that the violence only worsens as at least 4 people have been reportedly killed so far. to spain and that has to think we might be prepared even if we have to take i mean we've picked to get them out of discussions haiti's president hasn't been seen publicly since last week when he called for calm and offered to form a unity government haiti's government has been without a prime minister because of moyses failed attempts to appoint someone to the position he's facing corruption allegations as the country with leads and an economic free my leadership financial mismanagement oil and food shortages and

widespread power outages will take risk of the livered fuel to the island but the political and social turmoil has distracted distribution efforts police have used tear gas to try and push protesters on rioters back but are struggling to contain the thousands. people hitting the streets demanding change. joining us now to discuss the latest demonstrations in haiti and the story behind them as brian todd cannon one of the board of directors at the institute for justice and democracy and haiti thank you for joining us brian. thank you for having me brian the protesters are now pushing for the resignation of the u.s. backed haitian president. what are is this a real is his removal real possibility at this point could we see that in the future. or we certainly can if you just look at the president will wheezes support within haiti and balance that against the opposition to him he would have been gone

already we would see allowing him to cling to power is as you mentioned u.s. support and support from other members of the international community but this is really a regime that is there not because haitians will tolerate it but it's because the international community is is propping it up. but recently the united nations general assembly president weighs have called for the formation of what he called a national unity government what are what are the issues that this proposal and would it solve any of haiti's main you know problems that are that they're facing right at the moment. the president always has made a series of offers of things over the last 18 months but they've been mostly rejected because nobody trusts him you know just as an example even named a new government recently and said this government was going to be different in order to get that government ratified he paid opposition senators $100000.00 for

their boats this is a country where people are dying because they can't get basic health care can't get food and the government was paying $100000.00 apiece for the boats so present movies has very little credibility he's done nothing to to allow any of the accountability mechanisms in the country to work he's. when you linked to to corrupt the the governance of the country so at this point there is really no faith that he's that he will that he will negotiate in a way that will lead haiti out of the crisis so you have a extremely broad based movement everyone from political parties to to the churches to business groups who are saying no we can't sing. we can't move forward unless president well we sleeves and nobody is is under the illusion that him leaving is going to automatically change things people keep insisting that there are fundamental problems with haiti there's fundamental problems with the economic structure this fundamental problems with the with the political structure and all

those need to be corrected in order for haiti to really get out of this crisis and you know it's interesting because when you when you look at the at least you know western news and their coverage of this you know everything's kind of referred to and referred to earlier as you know protests and demonstrations and things of that nature but what i you know when you see things on the ground and you hear these people in the streets who are there and you know who are taking part in these you know it almost sounds more like a revolution than a protest in a demonstration at this point are we it is a revolution at this point or will we hit that point in the near future. or certainly headed there president kennedy famously said that those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable and i think the haitian government and its international supporters are trying their best to prove president kennedy right they've blocked off all of the normal avenues for peaceful evolution and peaceful change leaving them with with no choice in fact any see

stories in the news of burning tires and burning police stations. those those are violent but in fact not many people have been killed that most of those who have been killed have been killed by the police so that the protests have still remained amazingly nonviolent but i don't think that that kid and that will last forever and eventually haitian people will be pushed to the breaking point is there anyone involved in the protests or are there any political groups down there the protesters kind of are in support of or are looking to was like ok these could be the people that could potentially form the right kind of government the government for the people down there. they want not one kind of you know installed by the united states or helped along by the united states and and you know things like that is there anyone down there right now is kind of filling that role or who could in the future. there are certainly people who could i don't think there's anybody right now who's broadly identified as as able to fill that role one of the one of

the challenge is is that there have been lots of people who are trying to control this process for their own aims their people who are politicians who have a long record of of positions that aren't really helping haiti's democracy but they're jumping on the bandwagon and hoping to take control so that when this comes out they'll be in charge still have the same unfair grinding system with them in charge and there's obviously a lot of suspicion among the haitian people for that and you still don't really have any one organization that that is standing out as a as a front runner but there are a lot of organizations that are sitting down talking and there are a lot of people who plans on how we get out and i think what most people are saying is that once president always leaves then you need some kind of a transitional government that's not going to allow one party or one person to take control but will have some kind of a broad broad based power structure that isn't going to make any major any any

decisions immediately but it's going to kind of guide the country through a process where it can work can establish the foundation for moving forward so this is going to be a long process i don't think it's going to be an automatic transition to to any one person but i think that there is a great opportunity if this process is supported by people in haiti and outside of haiti for haiti to see a better day. you know if you yeah it is really interesting and i hope that that happens because i mean to this country this country has suffered for a long period of time which is a very quickly give us the scope of life what you know these people have gone through not only with their government. but we also have you know the issues of the natural disasters i mean the kind of getting the trifecta the whole the bad politics from economic to government and then to the lack of real climate politics and dealing with those issues all about. yes and the answer that i could be talking

for about for 100 hours i got to give but you know some of the highlights i mean he's had 33 coup d'etat many of them have been have been supported by the international community basically haiti's been punished since $1804.00 because it was the 1st free nation of it's the only nation that came from a slave revolt and he came into being as during a time when the powers of the world were slave only countries and he's been punished ever since it's been for over 100 years there was an independence debt that was forced to pay back to haiti that prevented it from being able to develop its economy you go up to the u.s. marine occupation the longest u.s. marine occupation of anywhere was in haiti in the early part of the 20th century and going right up to 219th to 2004 when when the u.s. overthrew haiti's elected law the last government. it keeps going up and you have time after time where we're haiti has been deprived of a chance to be to be prosperous and then you had invulnerability to to tropical

storms in the haiti has not been hit yet this hurricane season good earthquakes are doing that but all those are complete thank goodness at this point the one constant how we look at the start of a bank you so much for coming on today and it's good that haiti hasn't had to deal with that element of the of the major element so far brian can come in the board of directors of the institute of justice for democracy in haiti thank you as always for coming on. and good news u.s. scientists at a company called grail teamed up with researchers in the dana farber cancer institute and found a new way to effectively test for more than 20 kinds of cancer in fact the test which looks for abnormal patterns of something called map aleisha and the d.n.a. a sign of cancer. was able to correctly detect cancer 99.4 percent of the time and i dissent they found that the test could accurately detect the source of the cancer 90 percent of the time the test was tested more than 3500 times on over 1500

cancer patients and 2000 patients without cancer in time doctors and researchers says fact that this test and others like it could mean the majority of cancer diagnoses is made by stage one or 2 and creasing survival rates exponentially fantastic new zealand good place to end their show to the right that is our show everybody remember everyone in this world we are told that we are loved enough so i tell you all i love you i am tired robot on top of the list keep on watching all those hawks out there are great day and. over. there. danny and by north some of the people because a cop beat him he's so good that even such
