all named employee. poison gas watchdog. groups. in syria. coming up in the program this hour christ fall over losing. billions to rival microsoft. one person particular. democracy movement takes a break from protests securing a big win in closely watched local elections.

just after 10 am in have 11 pm in perth australia and 6 and the right here in moscow this monday november the 25th welcome to our international. a whistleblower cast docked on the way the international chemical weapons watchdog a little last year's alleged chemical attack in the syrian city all but duma a leaked internal e-mail from an unnamed employee at the o.p.c. w. claims the organization cherry picked and misrepresented fox in its oficial report the release by wiki leaks coincides with the o.p.c. w.'s 5 day conference which is no underway in the hague. on the agenda of this annual meeting is just routine administrative stuff but this thing this in this whistleblower email is certainly the big elephant in the room because it was compiled by one of the co all of those over the o.p.c. w.'s report on the 2018 chemical attack in the syrian city of duma and while his

words a should say sum up better than anything he's feelings when he saw what the report that he was working on turned out to be as he is accusing the o.p.c. w. of manipulating facts after reading the modified report i was struck by how much it misrepresents the facts an unintended bias has been introduced into the report undermining its credibility crucial facts have morphed into something quite different what was originally drafted now this is not the 1st time this report is drawing criticism some have been pointing out that it took the o.p.c. w. investigators some 10 days to get on the site of this chemical attack saying that while this is plenty of trying for people on the ground to tamper with evidence it didn't take that long for the u.s. and the u.k. and france to pin all the blame onto the assad government and to launch air strikes against the syrian army facilities and while this obesity w.

report which by the we took a whole year to finish was not tasked with assigning blame one of its findings did circumstantially point. it's fingers at the sun for instance they have concluded the final version of the report concluded stated that the canisters carrying that deadly chlorine gas they fell from above and the opposition the rebels they simply had no means of doing so they have no air force and that was sort of a redemption for the action taken by the u.s. and its allies but according to the e-mail according to this e-mail this whistleblower the initial version of the report did not paint this picture at all the redacted report states that the gas was likely released from the cylinders the original report purposely emphasized the fact that there was insufficient evidence to affirm this so now with all this criticism coming from both the outside and now the inside of the o.p.c. w.

this whistleblower he's calling on the body to make public the version of the report that he saw and that he worked on i'm requesting that the fact finding report be released in its entirety as i fear that this redacted version no longer reflects the work of the team well if you're interested in reading this whistleblowers e-mail in full you can go on our website coleman find all the necessary information and links there and now meanwhile we have reached out to the o.p.c. w 2 and just just to see if they have anything to say regarding this scandal regarding this leak so far they are to come back to us well just additionally to what igor was saying there the o.p.c. w.'s director general just a short time ago reiterated the watchdogs confidence in the duma report emphasizing its objective nature he ses while not mentioning the league female director he did appear to allude to it in his speech. these in the nature both for inquiry for individuals in

a team to express subject to its use what is some of these. secrets and certain public discussion. i would like to read. that. are full on professional conclusion was reached by the side of the mission you know i can't help but to smile when i hear this. because what he's not saying is that the whistleblowers information is incorrect what he is not saying is that the report wasn't changed the redacted report was changed from its original so sure the o.p.c. don't use a big one for a bureaucracy bureaucracies protect themselves he's trying to protect the organization right now rather than address the facts of the situation and the facts

of the situation indicate that the report was changed it was changed for political reasons remember that your p.c. w. is only good as as it's information and if it's going to be political in the december dissemination of its. information in the construct of its analysis. it's going to damage only itself. if there's one thing almost does not like it's losing a business battle the internet giants formally launched a legal challenge against the u.s. defense department after rival microsoft software firm to clinch a very lucrative data contract the decision surprised analysts who thought i was all hot and in the bag but the route is about more than money taylor breaks down. amazon and white christmas oft 2 giants that have changed the way we experience the world.

yes warm and fuzzy ads to appeal to our pockets over the holiday season but it turns out the real money that goes softer is the pentagon's given the u.s. military spent over $600000000000.00 annually it's unsurprising there's a battle for the big contracts so head to head and microsoft have been vying for the pentagon prize of $10000000000.00 over the next 10 years the contract in question is for the judge by project and ambitious event that would allow the pentagon to stall sensitive data on a single large cloud it would also allow the military to take full advantage of fishel intelligence tools tools which have drawn concern from ethical what dogs for

their lethal potential in guiding missiles and drones amazon thought it had its foot in the door not only is it the lead in the walls of cloud computing it's also made $600000000.00 from its dealings with the cia since 2013 so you can understand the shock when microsoft was crowned and amazon's not happy it's so unhappy in fact that it's filed a lawsuit saying that it was passed over at the recommendation of a certain donald trump we believe is critical for our country that the government and its elected leaders administer procurement subjectively and in a minute is free from political influence numerous aspects of the joint enterprise defense infrastructure evaluation process contain clear deficiencies there is an unmistakable by. and is important in these matters be examined and rectified it's true trump and bezos have rarely exchanged a kind word the president argues that amazon is swindling the u.s.

postal service out of money and doesn't pay enough tax he's also not a fan of the bears also and washington post whose printing press is pretty hot from all its anti trump coverage so we probably wasn't hard to guess who trump was not going to throw his support behind we're getting tremendous. really complaints from other companies and from great companies some of the greatest companies in the world are complaining about it having to do with amazon and the department of defense and i will be asking them to look at it very closely to see what's going on because i have had very few things where there is really such complaining amazon thinks that there is evidence of one to influence something both microsoft and the pentagon deny the acquisition process was conducted in accordance with the political laws and regulations in law for his which treated fairly and evaluated consistently with the solicitation stated evaluation criteria we have confidence in the qualified staff of the department of defense and we believe the facts will show

they have been a details process in determining the need to the wolf item a best made by microsoft but while these companies fight it out for the pentagon's affections others have been more reticent last year outrage was sparked after it emerged google was cooperating with the department of defense on a project that helped the army identify drone targets over $3000.00 employees signed a petition calling for the trial of more ality over money and ultimately resulting in the search engine not renewing the contract we believe that google should not be in the business of war building this technology to assist the u.s. government in military surveillance and potentially lethal outcomes is. not acceptable so while some battle with that conscience and mothers refuse to accept lost fortunes for microsoft it's been a golden autumn with its war chest filled by

a milestone contract shaz jumped 3 percent and to top it all off bill gates has recently returned to his favorite position the wilds richest man rumor has it even helped jeff bezos clear his desk of brian becker from the antiwar answer call ition sees the pentagon's always considered a solid business partner as the fence and profits tend to go hand in glove. well amazon's lawsuit represents indicates the cutthroat competition between the mega monopoly corporations that are competing with each other to become an appendage of the pentagon big technology companies know that in order to really prosper and thrive in the american economy you have to affix yourself to pentagon spending because the lion's share the majority of discretionary budgeting each year in this massive federal budget actually goes for death and destruction for the u.s.

military machine so this is not simply a matter of war the defense department and the contracts this is it this is business and in america war is very profitable and war contracting very very profitable. and it's you know there are headlines stories today hong kong's prude marker see movement is celebrating victory in the chinese territories district council elections after a record number of voters flocked to the polls on sunday the opposition walnuts with the 90 percent of the 450 seats being contested putting them in control of 17 of 18 districts it is the 1st election since violent protests erupted there in june and is widely seen as a vote on the beijing government is humbling me a list hong kong or position leaders say the result sends a clear message to the authorities. demonstrators to must be taken seriously.

the huge win means the pro-democracy bloc will get a bigger say in the election committee that selects hong kong's next chief current leader say she hopes the territory won't return to chaos for the city to have a fresh start the streets were notably quieter on polling day compared to what's hong kong has endured in recent months. back i. was. saying. well we. based economist benjamin show whether he thinks the low in the on rest there. on one hand the leaders security

measure it's all new police chief it's not sweet words on the other hand both sides can actually call for a cease fire he's encouraging however that actions and inactions of the rioters are highly coordinated contrary to the cable having no loss to my even greater people preaching lost most of these election is not directly impact much can make tea all. counsel for lawmaking nor that you action committee for the next chief executive so i expect why you could still go on respect that you actually read so it's expression of ultimate intention of the right is really not just up all the wealth but on a global court ito competition between powerful nations. i had this moment they want to kill me to wind power in germany not everyone is that big. as the countries go to renewables industry is dealt

a blow for bosco watching. you know world big partisan. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to be. deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the baths and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. what politicians do something. to put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want. to go right to the

press this is what the 43 of them all can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of. the city. and where bach american academia seems to have inclusiveness issues with conservative lecture is increasingly being shut out by student protesters last wednesday more than a 1000 university of california students tried to block a conservative pundit from speaking on campus in berkeley. ah ah. ah ah ah ah ah ah. ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah yes you see the rose of utes formed a human chain to block the audience from entering the building but chanted anti-racist slogans on hell bombers criticising donald trump's immigration policy police in riot gear then guarded b. entrance from the demonstrators up to 7 months to protesters were reportedly arrested the event did eventually go ahead parties came up and takes a look now at the bigger picture. universities are supposed to be a place for learning getting a useful degree and exploring certain ideas however lately they've become a home to some rather intense political activism as well as excluding certain ideas take the university of california berkeley as an example during the 1960 s. the campus was home to the free speech and search demanding the right to discuss and debate off campus issues however lately it has become far less receptive to

certain divergent ideas. or. a columnist with right wing conservative views that are too extreme for some ann coulter opposes women's suffrage and called for militarily converting the middle east to christianity now arthur laffer is different from ann coulter arthur laffer served in the reagan white house he's not a pundit rather an economist he just wrote a book about trump's america 1st economic vision well being on the university students did not like that he was given a platform. was the university had to issue an apology it seems like the rules of free expression and. and discoursed don't apply to right wing speakers and approach from voices conservatives often complain about a perceived a liberal bias in academia damia and the constant curling of the accusations of

naziism at right wing scholars samuel abrams a professor at sarah lawrence college actually called for regulating political balance this wolf to ideological distribution among college administrators should give off students and their families pose the ideological imbalance coupled with their agenda setting power threatens the free and open exchange of ideas which is precisely what we need to protect in higher education in these politically polarized times now this idea of hiring professors based on their political views and mandating that it be $5050.00 among the left and right didn't go over too well in fact many called for him to be fired just for suggesting this is what new york city college students think about the atmosphere on the campuses any ideas that counteract this progressive movement or this so-called leftist movement often get met with a lot of backlash conservative professors or people with conservative viewpoints

doesn't get shut out of the conversation would be comparative to me going into a class that was something against what i believed in and making the same insight i like don't think that they should be allowed to do that when they hear whatever they want to hear it's not allowing them to experience new and different and challenging ideas that might open their eyes i do think that it is important to have different values to share on campuses not just progressive values or ideas or the ones that cater to ours you we can't just allow ourselves to be put in an echo chamber of liberal ideas or in an echo chamber of conservative ideas we have to be unbiased we have to look at you know different viewpoints and make our own decisions on and if we only hear one side that's all we'll ever hear in the last several decades ideas described as liberal and progressive have pretty much become the dominant view in america's institutions of higher learning and this. spight rhetoric about diversity and freedom of expression these folks are pretty determined to keep it that way and don't mind silencing those who might disagree.

art see new york american scholar michael wrecked in wall claims he was forced to leave his job as a new york university liberal arts of pressure after airing his conservative views he ses activists students are increasingly turning aggressive against lecturers they don't agree with. i would call them ill liberals 1st of all they're not liberals there are liberal leftists who are attempting to shut down any speech that they don't approve of even if they don't know what it is because in many cases they don't even know what the speaker say or have to say they don't even understand different viewpoints a lot of listening to them they are complete political thoughts and think that their viewpoints are the only ones worthy of. a hearing and therefore they have turned the university into nothing but a semi violent echo chamber so yeah there is a new wave of activism but i wouldn't call it grassroots by any means it's it's an astroturf movement and this synthetic it's being whipped up by members of the

democratic and other. leftist groups and it is completely. frenzied it is now it is not rational at all. widely seen as germany's most important source of renewable energy wind power is suffering something of an economic blow back that once thriving industry had been at the core of the country's attempt to drastically reduce carbon emissions by the year 2030 and eventually a cunt for all electricity generated but financing and support is fading as the funds of the reports. on wavering commitment to protect the environment has earned her the nickname as the climate chancellor us part of her latest green initiative her go from. approved a 60000000000 year old package of climate policies it's aim to generate a 100 percent of its electricity supply using renewable energy by 2050 that's

induced we as industrialized countries are also on the frontline we need to do something to minimise our carbon footprint to stop climate change and the inverse of the rise in temperature if you push for climate protection it will cost money but this money's been spent if we ignore it i think it will cost us more money that's the truth only the lynchpin of germany's green shift is wind energy ringback. considering that you wonder if the industry is booming well it's a lot earlier this summer aseem and last $2000000000.00 euros and that's a cut $2700.00 jobs which half of those were here in germany and are called a nother giant in the industry had to cut twice as much as zimmerman did and it's

blaming all that on the government the current energy and climate policy not only jeopardizes the innovations in jobs created in our industry over the years but also climate protection and the energy transition as a whole after the federal government presented its climate protection package it became clear that the problems are even greater other companies have been hit even harder by the energy crisis nordics was in the red and was bought out by a spanish firm said the on had to file for bankruptcy you are probably wondering why is the green shift facing so many problems well even though many germans do agree with wind energy a lot of them are not keen on the idea of having a wind farm in their backyard. in an effort to appease protesters berlin announced new regulations forcing firms

to seek permission from local authorities if they want to build within one kilometer of a residential area dinning approval however can take up to 2 hears the prospect of protracting legal battles and delays is scaring off investors the fact that the federal government is threatening to sink to this over one of the most important aspects of our economy because of some public criticism over the initiatives shows the current political weakness studies show that if it wants to achieve its carbon neutrality by 2050 germany must increase its wind power production 6 fold but so far this year would energy witness a significant drop off as investors become increasingly wary about investing into the wind business the dream of turning germany into a green state seems to be fading eventually. how do people from one of the hardest working nations on the planet relieve their tensions
