i'm going to run the peace prize ignore you then we'll mock you then they will join you. you can smell that the yeah respond it's a bit like a book ting ag but with chemical tinge even the french city of rwanda are demanding the troops on the all star season after a massive fire as a local chemicals factory 1st this shows insists the that is safe to breathe. you can talk to any form of it when you have any type of contact with the smoke it's dangerous i have 4 kids and they were impacted by the smell and migrate i think there is a risk for our health and i can feel it. after making headlines across the us a schoolgirl apologizes for fabricating a story that she was attacked by a white classmate we look at a pattern of appalled pope support. and scientific journal has withdrawn

a study challenging the claim that the syrian government was to blame for the alleged chemical attack and 2070 after the article attracted fierce anti assad criticism. a warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with me. now people in the set the french city of rwanda are demanding the truth from the authorities they say there's been a cover up after a major fire at a nearby chemicals factory with locals not believing officials who say the air is safe to breathe artie's solid to penske reports. almost a week ago the chemical plant just across the water that was a blaze a thick plume of black smoke billowed into the sky as firefighters battled almost 24 hours against the flames.

in the dark good into the i'm not saying that the smell isn't pleasant i'm just telling you what the results of the tests are namely that the air is not harmful since then there has been growing anger over what some say is a lack of information over what was put into not fire and the impact that could have on people's health. you can talk to any firemen but when you have any type of contact with the smoke it's dangerous it can be lethal because of the carbon monoxide and in this case when the smoke went into the sky we didn't know what was in it we don't know exactly what is in the year and we worry a lot that in the future it might bring cancer or something else. i have 4 kids and

they were impacted by the smell and my grades i thought about having test done before was with absolutely no information about what we should be looking for so i could take blood samples but what are you going to tell them to look for i know they could be cancer thyroid problems but the problem is that we hear lots of rumors nothing concrete. i think there is a risk for health and i can feel it because i have an e g throat and i'm continuously coffee we worried about the how to march children in the future will they have cancer or something we just don't know around rule some people are also taking that proportions some locals have also experienced nor . vomiting whilst others have complained that the tap water is black and then there is the stench you can smell that the air is foul it's a bit like rotting eggs but with a chemical tinge and despite the initial denials that there was no health risk the

french health minister has admitted that it's clearly polluted. it is a factory that produces hydrocarbons even if not in large volumes it is never good for the population to come across these kinds of products i cannot say that there is no danger the city is clearly polluted several schools were closed off to the fire and though some have attempted to reopen many teachers are refusing to return to work. colleagues from schools near lubrizol who have refused to work until they receive information about what was burnt and the risk because they are just a few 100 metres away from the site they did so to protect their health and that of the children who are under their responsibility and that's why there has been a demand that the original school 30 acknowledged their right not to have children attend school under this condition. while health concerns are immediate what's perhaps most telling about the danger people here are facing is the fact that food

sales from 100 districts around ruin have been banned any produce that may have been exposed to contamination has to be destroyed that even includes milk. hybrid carrots and work closely with milk produces dioxins are measured in memory grams and there are a problem for us because they become highly concentrated in milk and the toxic so they render it unfit for consumption it is vital for us to know as soon as possible whether there are any dioxins in those burning materials what's going on he would tell us what to do with our produce so that you don't let my advise even reached as far as belgium and the netherlands raising concerns. the impact could be even the line you do reaching flags have also been raised for the health of the police and the firefighters who won't do you see during the fire protests like this have now formed to pressure the authorities to outline any risks they make face they

demanding answers but are afraid that even if they receive them that the danger is as a result of that place may not have made for months or even years from now charlotte t.v. ski r.t.e. . and viral mental activist to rome bertrand say's ruan is now the most dangerous city to be in and fronts. we think the government is prioritizing the work of the plant rather than the safety of citizens an official earlier told us that there was nothing to worry about and the everyone was not toxic and he continues to pacify us but without giving any scientific data to back up his claims and then we hear the interior minister saying the same thing again without any confirmation the officials based their inclusion on the farther lubrizol plant which does not contain so many hostages chemicals the other part was far more dangerous substances which could have burnt but did not pass the only argument of your thoughts is used to reassure us but actually the damaged part also included

a whole range of harmful chemicals so it's possible that they were released into the air since the cloud is now above belgium the air there should be tested for certain substances which were found near the plant i think now we want is the most dangerous french city to be in but i hope we will be able to cope. young african-american girl who claims she was attacked by white schoolmates cause issued an apology as of the story made national headlines across the u.s. and have attractions raised questions about a trend in hoax reports of the south was a crime so horrendous that everyone was talking about it a young african-american woman held down as 3 white guys cut her dreadlocks and insulted her where were minister where were any partly to protect her. from this heinous crime the tears in the eyes of the grandparents came from righteous outrage now questioning the claims of a crying girl is not

a good look for anyone especially the media which most americans already hold distain for but maybe they should have well it turns out the incident never happened her grandparents have written an apology to those young boys and their parents we sincerely apologize for the pain and exhausted see these allegations have cools down to the administrators and families of manual christian school we have sorry for the damage this incident has done to trust within the school family and the un to school and it has brought to the school to the broader community who rallied in such passionate support for adults and we apologize for betraying your trust now of course actual hate crimes do happen we can recall how recently there was a high school wrestling referee in new jersey who forced a black athlete to cut his dreadlocks he was shamed in front of the audience outrage was everywhere but we see another disturbing trend in us society that's people faking hate crimes against themselves in order to get media attention and sympathy who can forget just the small let could only go off of their words. i mean

. so is. this magic country. all those celebrities who rallied around just this once case and filled the airwaves with their outrage and indignation well they look pretty bad now remember that crowd of high school boys from kentucky were shown in a video wearing trump pats and confronting an elderly native american veteran remember how it turned out that he had actually walked up to them and that the boys had already been met with a tirade of anti white slurs from the nearby black hebrew israelites named the skates i want names shame them if you think this wouldn't docs you know hard be think again or his question have you ever seen him will put you will face in this kids with the overall crime rate in the united states on the decline actual hate crimes are increasing and that's what makes these hoaxes so vile it feeds into the idea that actual victims of actual racist atrocities shouldn't be taken seriously

if you fortunate thing is you know it just sometimes he climbs duiker and when they do occur i think did this kind of a hoax does a disservice to the victims of legitimate hate crimes when something like this happens you know it's going to make it harder let's say for the next victim to be believed you know because there are so many instances of these types of hoaxes popping up i think that a lot of you know editors quite frankly have lost their soul you know especially now in america strong they're always just looking for the most sensational story the story the page going to see this dark is and you know most negative picture of america unfortunately it seems like we have a lot of self hatred in the american mainstream media nowadays. as an impeachment inquiry into donald trump rumbles on a contender for his job in the 2020 us presidential race is called out her

opponents on some of the topics. candidates for poachers who are fundraising off impeachment undermining credibility of the inquiry in the eyes of the american people further dividing our already fractured country please stop we need responsible patriotic leaders who put the interests of our country before their own well democrats have sent text messages urging americans to stand with nancy pelosi the speaker of the house of representatives announce the start of the formal impeachment inquiry last week the policy reportedly received nearly 9000000 dollars in just 2 days which amounts to the biggest spike in fund raising efforts in recent months and despite their differences both parties seem to be profiting equally off the probe on the republican side donald trump's addressed his supporters via e-mail in the message titled call transcript the president say's he's done nothing wrong the republican national committee received $8500000.00 in donations within just 48

hours of the launch of the probe and that's their biggest hole since the trump campaign launched in june. now the impeachment inquiry came last week and made claims trump leaned on ukraine's president to investigate his 2020 rival joe biden all in exchange for u.s. support for kiev we spoke with wes benedict he's the executive director of the libertarian national committee he ses both parties only care about point scoring. democrats have so now fund raising event host trying to raise money off the impeachment. scandal and also of course republicans are doing it as well and i think it it it does undermine the investigation but to be honest i don't think anybody cares about doing a credible investigation during this impeachment process mostly republicans and democrats just want to score points against each other and try and raise money for their campaigns and try and get themselves elected i don't think democrats really care if the impeachment succeeds but then they have something they can talk about

on their campaigns and say how bad trump is and say donate for us for president and donate for democrats for u.s. senate ultimately it's the politicians who benefit and it's the american people who is hurt by this impeachment effort about with most tori's of this very soap break through with us. what holds if. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to be rich. but you'd like to be close to what the 3 of them became. interested always in the why. they should.

seem wrong. just don't all. get to shape out. and gauge. the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back a scientific journal that specializes in arms control has withdrawn a study casting doubt on the claim that the syrian government was to blame for an alleged chemical attack and 2017 the article points out inconsistency is in the

official version of events and came under intense criticism of explains. where the sun revolves around us or us around it where the earth is flat who is god is greater or more recently whether we should question why every chemical attack in syria were to magically gets blamed on the government the syrian government committed chemical weapons acts against their own people it is highly likely that the regime was responsible for a star an attack on conscious assad rita rita the violation of the cease fire and the violence through treated by heeds armed forces on civilians now usually science is the answer it is resolved some of our biggest arguments but this question seems to have a strumpet science and global security respected journal based out of princeton

university decided not to publish a study that questioned the official version of events that assad's government was behind the harm she hoon attack in 2017 it all went something like this a former pentagon employee mit professor ted postol together with respected scientists conducted a study u.s. presidential candidate gathered mentions it on her campaign web site 13th september belling cat noted anti asaad website blasts the study science the global says it will publish it anyway and will judge it on narrative soon after the journal now says it's canceling the publication is why officially. these questions included concerns about the technical merits of the analysis in this article as well as the value of publishing the article given the sensitive in

contested issue of the use of chemical weapons in syria yet it is take these masses very seriously this review identified a number of issues with the peer review and revision process strange isn't it that no questions about the veracity of the study were asked when it was submitted or when it was given the green light for publishing concerns only appeared when belling cat and its followers attacked the study and the people behind it we've asked the journal for comment but no clear answer yet then again as statement may have said it all sensitive and contested issue that caused your mind back to 2017 within 2 days of the alleged chemical attack america declared it knew everything there was to know on tuesday syrian dictator bashar. launched

a horrible chemical weapons attack on innocent civilians even beautiful. babies recruiter murdered in this very barbaric. attack and so trump ordered a barrel of cruise with cells to be launched at syria now any doubts about acids automatic guilt would make the missile strike a war crime or an international war crime which could be why the scientists behind the study of facing such intense pressure abuse even and surprisingly are the loudest voices of condemnation is coming from elliot higgins founder of belling cat and opponent of everything as sad is website which he likes to call an investigative outlet has received funding from u.s. government run operations mr higgins is a rabid supporter of the official pentagon line he is debating the issue with dr

post or well the opi slow your dogs he doesn't agree with you well that are they lying before i think there is aid to address the technical points in my instead of citing nonsense because i showed that none of the forensic evidence fits the findings you need to show that what i'm saying is technically inaccurate i took your research and hacks i mean i gave it was someone he said 40 years of experience as a chemistry expert i'm not interested in other people you claim are experts i want to know why that is not it's not in place the full debate is up on dr postals youtube channel but his study will be appearing on science and global security anytime soon seems twitted criticism has won the day to day where science is told to shut up because it's inconvenient its former us secretary of defense

famously explained there are some things you just don't know you don't know. there are reports that there is no evidence of a direct link between baghdad and some of these terrorist organizations where there are known knowns serious things we know we know and we also know there are unknown unknown that is to say we know there are some things we do not know but there are also unknown unknown the ones we don't know we don't know excuse me but is this in the no no no. i'm not several on loans and i'm just what i'm noticing and i'm not going to say which it is the search you know you might hear if you ever hear the irony is sometimes those unknown noons preferable it's better for america in this case for bending cats if no one knows what happened and they what. investigative journalist rick starling says that the withdrawal of the article has

nothing to do with science and everything to do with politics the article was authored by 7 scientists who are experts in the field they ruled out the fact that. that it was definitely something that could only have been caused by a bomb drop from the from the air it was restricted to analyzing the hole in the ground and modeling whether it 122 millimeter. projectile missile could have caused that and they determined that it could have caused the criticisms mostly have come from nonscientific people what's sad is that a journal that's supposed to be dedicated to scientific inquiry and that is supposed to be dedicated to disarmament and arms control is apparently being bullied or allowing itself to be bullied into political censorship and bias.

i can read the universities facing backlash over an ad for it they created it appears to endorse climate change the message on the billboard in west edmonton states that changing conditions could ultimately benefit the growth of bali crops resulting in better conditions for livestock farming but it's all part of a why the ad campaign by the university of alberta called truth mathis and which they highlight research to quote and courage discussion in this instance they've drawn from a paper by one of their professes looking at the impact of climate change on his body production but the person behind the billboards resigned after admitting she took the finding out of context. the research highlighted by the does not promote climate change as a benefit nur was demeaning intended by the ad however public response has made clear that the advertisements wording fails to communicate the meaning and

complexity of the research allowing for easy misinterpretation bali is the 4th largest crop in canada and is able to withstand droughts with alberta accounting for half of the country's production critics of the university's billboard campaign say it oversimplifies and misrepresents the scientific research and they end up looking like a promotion of global warming there you go now the question is has the damage been done how many britons are going to use beefier barley as a justification for poor conservation practices university of alberta wants you to know that climate genocide will also have some bright spots by beefier bollywood's in alberta feed cattle with thinking about what the communication superstores that came up with the illiterates of masterpiece b. field barley doing today. and clearly there are certain industries and certain regions which do indeed stand to benefit from warming climate what is of

course completely wrong is any idea that global warming all global heating is people the increase in corn it confers benefits as a hope there are lots of neat circulating on social media which are trying to do precisely that but useful. global warming in all its impact and that. so many people have found this it goes. to be simply not accept any many people including global leaders who do believe in god you certainly say that it completely accept the science of climate change and yet they refuse to do anything much about it. it is a all thoughts on this story and everything else by following us on social media and leave all your comments that and my colleague that leave adults settle at the top of the hour stopping at all the latest headlines.

rather than pull for a lot i know comes out of the cold war you are the sort of one among what i would are them. a product for the main t.v. they tell you not the high i might not be heard. at the salon month and but i will turn out censor on. top of some thought

a lot to me about the lack of that. and. then that here is someone i would do the board.

so. it's just slept. very well now continue watching on since last. a paradise with

some around turned into a round the experimentation field for agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants there's no question otherwise why would the chemical company workers themselves be geared up and suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments but often in day you have many of these people where one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of environmental research going on in hawaii whether these companies feel they can get away with votes because the people have less political power.

and the sounds ringback the end sure to head. it. and focus back to the us indians and you ask a kid on a good honest matchroom even though they need. knavish. that's how i started barefoot. and on the end by in the last bit it's only people who become a coffee and he's sort of bored with that even said to back up the sending. i'm not killed anybody above you. find that makes.

never. got to. find. out if. there's a lot of i'm. going to put some one you see oh say this is a deflection board happy to say that. that is going to be that but then i got up the immediate support. and he you know if you're going to going to have that i'm not born a i don't plan about that that you can't be going to.
