7:13 am
fascism that exists is in twenty's and thirty's we should recognize this as a beginning of reestablishment of those fascist ideologies we need to stop it right there and. if we look at the numbers norway has a relatively small muslim population less than 5 percent what are the is the anti islam is ation protestors fear so much from such a small percentage of the population when there is no logical reason for the fear whatsoever the reality is that this is created. also of perception. you know if you want to exclude pacific section of the community here the muslim community to fight for said to be an active participant in the society as they are. this is how fascism works pick so

welcome back the head of the organization for the a prohibition of chemical weapons has signed an open letter urging his own watchdog to give 2 whistleblowers a platform at its next conference they claim the o.p.c. to suppress evidence when conducting a probe into an alleged chemical attack on the syrian city of duma in april 2800. 7th of april 2018 terrible images flood the internet the news people civilians suffocating with symptoms of nerve agent poisoning the alleged off the moth of a chemical attack in syria within a week cruise missiles flying in syria. generally when you launch missiles at someone you know they did something wrong
7:17 am
what made these sea incidents so remarkable is that everything happened in reverse 1st they launched the missiles and then investigated who it was that they should have targeted it took a year for the u.p.c. w. to compile a report where they said that they found traces of chlorine with straw. indications that the gas containers were dropped from the air done and done today's o.p.c. w. final report on the 7th of april 2018 attack in duma confirms chemical weapons used demonstrating the vital importance of the o.p.c. w.'s work this confirms chlorine attack was only the latest example of the assad regime's chemical warfare attacks on its own population except it isn't done it's our new raveling to whistleblowers involved in the investigation have now come forward alleging irregularities in suppression cherry picking of actual findings
7:18 am
the 1st contest that the u.p.c. w.'s acetate and that the gas canisters would dropped rather than placed at the scene observations at the scene of the 2 locations suggest that there is a higher probability that both cylinders were manually placed at those 2 occasions rather than being delivered from aircraft the 1st whistle blower was allegedly an outside contractor the u.p.c. w. said it took into account all findings not just here is the problem is according to the 2nd whistle blower a member of the team which was on the ground collecting samples is that the u.p.c. w. took into account some findings more than they did others most of the duty and focus he reports on the incident the interim report in the final report was scientifically impoverished procedurally irregular and possibly fraudulent the whistleblower who is identities being kept secret for his safety featured at
7:19 am
a high profile conference in brussels and his testimony appears to be much more damning than the 1st whistle blowers professor richard fulk was there at the conference where the whistleblower spoke professor what pushed him to come forward what was the gist of it well essentially. we presented evidence testimonials to the thing that the rich final report could not be justified in the form that it was submitted and that it had been tampered with in such a way to create a set of conclusions that corresponded with what. the u.s. . britain truants it would be the outcome of an investigation
7:20 am
but the evidence didn't support remember the rebel videos we talked about with victims showing symptoms of nerve agent poisoning it was most likely staged no nerve agent was found by the u.p.c. w. what they found traces of chlorine the symptoms of chlorine poisoning are different traces of chlorine if the finding of these chemicals at the alleged sites is to be used as an indicator that chlorine gas was present in the atmosphere least be shown to be present at levels significantly higher than what is present in environments already they weren't all that the u.p.c. w. said that that that is chlorinated organic chemicals which are everywhere all around us in our drinking water the difference is in the event of a chemical attack they would be in a much higher concentration and for whatever reason new p.c. w. didn't say what that concentration was not it was the public not even to their own
7:21 am
inspectors but when the analysis of these key levels came back from the laboratories the results were cancer sammy barrick at unison who was the doom of fact finding missions leader against normal expectations they were not passed on to the inspector who was drafting the o.p.c. w.'s interim report on duma the inspectors tested the victims the whistleblower said. their blood their head and found nothing no nerve agent no chlorine in levels that would indicate a chemical attack nothing which raises an important question professor then the whistleblower come across as political perhaps with bias none that i could detect and he seemed very much like. international civil servant a technocrat i think this central underlying difficulty was that the evidence of the. gases that were alleged to be used didn't seem to
7:22 am
be to correspond with what the inspectors found and that there was a discrepancy between. the information that was contained in that report about these 2 projects that supposedly had evidence of chlorine being used and the indication that they were placed there and didn't fall there by the means that the report described apparently the management ignored not only the inspectors findings but also their concerns in fact whistleblower claims the inspectors were made to sit through speeches by unidentified american agents who insisted that asaad was guilty that the asset should be blamed the inspectors left fairweather the office feeling that the
7:23 am
invitation to the americans to address them was unacceptable pressure and a violation of the o.p.c. w.'s declared principles of independence and impartiality 2 days later the interim report was released a senior colleague told us 1st floor management says the very b.c.w.s. credibility we have to have a smoking gun and look how that turned out to peace. it's coming apart at the seams but let's hold off jumping to conclusions unlike the united states and rather wait . the truth before launching anything at the u.p.c. w. . a journalist in paris has been left with severe injuries after a tear gas grenade hit him in the face he was covering the one year anniversary yellow bus march warning you may find the following images upsetting.
7:24 am
you. these are for all 12 and if i was filming clashes between protesters and police officers when a grenade exploded next to me and then another one just 3 or so metres from me pound lead was a. instant tear gas grenade i'm still trying to verify this information or poison the parents they hit me with the same kind of grenade right in the face exploded it's my mask smashed my plexiglas visor live you know that's how i was injured in the nose and on the upper lip had i not been wearing a gas mask but it's plexiglass protection that i don't release on skates because i saw in hospital how badly injured some of the other protesters were. always are
7:25 am
a protest movement taking aim at president emanuel micron's policies began in response to now scrapped fuel price hikes and then broaden in to include a number of other social and political grievances the protests are the most violent and recent french history with frequent clashes with police. the journalist who was injured at the anniversary rally told us there's no justification for the police using combat weapons. you know i was angry
7:26 am
at the police because they should only defend themselves like this when the situation gets out of hand but to use such a powerful weapon that they can probably control draws or they can injure journalists and peaceful citizens passing by can also seriously injured demonstrators and i'm not sure whether that is necessary because you know as you know that this kind of grenade is classed as a military weapon and i will go to court i've already filed a complaint and there will also file a complaint with the inspector general of the national police which i think that even with all the evidence the investigation will be just like other ones. again that's our global news update for this hour but don't forget you can always had to our website r.t. dot com for the details on all those stories and many more. the world is driven by dream shaped by one person.

industry is telling us what to feed our pets is really more based on what they want to sell us than what's necessarily good for the pet turns out may not be. people believe we have animals that have you know diabetes in arthritis they have auto immune disorders allergies we are actually creating these problems it's a huge epidemic of problems all of them i believe can be linked to very simple problem of diet and some dog owners so heartbreaking stories about their pets less treats the larger corporations are not very interested in proving or disproving the value of their food because they're already making it a 1000000000 dollars on it and there's no reason to do that research.
7:29 am
reading them sell you tasia. while the mainstream cable news media is salivating over the circus that is the house impeachment proceedings against the president donald trump the business of government. and the business as usual rumble has been felt almost in the u.s. war in afghanistan usa today is now report. that despite the suppose a drawing down of u.s. ground forces in the country the $8600.00 troops that president trump announced back in august the u.s. and allied warplanes are dropping bombs and firing missiles at insurgent targets at a record pace in the 18 year long war and what are the numbers behind that record pace well from january 1st to october u.s. led forces have dropped over 6200 missiles and bombs on afghanistan that number has already far exceeded 2008 teams record of 5992 bombs dropped over that same period of time while we might not be good at health care or cost of living we here in the
7:30 am
us are very very very good when it comes the bombing in foreign lands and poor people jones a defense analyst at the center for strategic and international studies and former advisor to the special operations commander in afghanistan said the strategy behind this surge in bombing is that the taliban may be more likely to agree to a peace deal acceptable to the united states and the afghan government if the taliban believes they can win the war in afghanistan. right because up until now what we've only been lightly involved in the longest war in u.s. history we've just kind of batted him around like a kitty that really jones went on to point out that despite the recent surge in bombing the taliban does not appear to be coerced and still believes it can win on the battlefield. so let's kick things off today with a look at the latest efforts by the u.s. government to keep on pouring money and missiles into the war that never read as we start watching the whole 6.
