you're going to love. the work. wiki leaks call the doubt on the final report on the largest chemical attack in the syrian city of july last year recent internal documents that strongly suggest took place in. the russian military state of the art album god missile system and is called about duty. 12 people are killed as a passenger plane crashes now because it's gone moments after takeoff dozens more are being treated at hospitals.

you're watching your world while i mean the whole thing the last thing. we start with breaking news this hour wiki leaks has published a few. of internal documents from the international chemical weapons what dog consigning and a legend who were in attack in the syrian city of duma last year the release appears to lend credence to claims that senior officials deliberately left critical details out of the organizations final report for more on this i'm now joined live by with dusty. obviously another explosive revelation here from wiki leaks what's in these documents and why are they so important. well wiki leaks has indeed released the latest casualty internal documents from the o.p.c. in it is quite concerning because they allegedly admit some of their p.c.'s very own report into the alleged chemical attack in duma of april 28th and it's rather

concerning because they reveal even more inconsistency is when it comes to the probe in particular the documents point to the fact that officials actually knew there was no correlation between symptoms and explore an explosion a time. with respect to the consistency of the observed and reported symptoms of the alleged victims with possible exposure to chlorine gas a similar the experts were conclusive in those statements that there was no correlation between symptoms and cloran exposure. now the document in question was allegedly a technical assessment that was made by an inspector very soon after the alleged chemical attack as i say in april of 2018 now at the time western politicians and the made it absolutely pointed the finger to the syrian government in damascus and said it was an offensive against the hardest force s. but of course resulted in civilian deaths now according to this leaked document today the leadership of the chemical weapons wash dr absolute effort to remove all

traces of this dissenting report which was by the open sea pointing to a false operation please give this document out of documents registry archive and please remove all trace of its deliberate storage with documents registry archives. now in april 28th you know after the alleged attack well what happened is that the united states used it as justification to endorse their own offensive in syria the c.w. later was sent to this site though to investigate it coming back with accusations against a syrian document however these wiki leaks documents today reveal there's actually a propaganda campaign well certainly lots of unanswered questions will be very interesting to see how if all this leak is reacted to that shot at was dusty from many things. in other news russia's state of the art out on god

hypersonic missile system entered combat duty this friday defense ministry officials have been briefing the media on the weapon which they say is capable of carrying both conventional and. today the strategic missile system and 3rd combat duty i congratulate us on this it humans which is important for the country and the armed forces. russia's defense minister may sound a little bit tumble but don't get mistaken this is a moment you might be tempted to hope the story crushes cutting edge evan guard hypersonic missile system is now officially deployed for combat duty said a gay shade who reported about that to president vladimir putin it is only so far about one regiment unclear when or even other russian arms parts will be upgraded the evan guard is a hypersonic glider that is said to be able to penetrate any those existing and

prospective defenses let's take a look at some of the key features of these truly revolutionary weaponry the often god hypersonic vehicle can fly it up to 20 times the speed of sound an i.c.b.m. will take it to an altitude of several dozen kilometers from where it can dive head 1st back to earth a top speed with ak crop like maneuverability dodging and missile defenses in contrast when other existing ballistic missiles reenter the atmosphere they fly at a preset trajectory making the targets for a.b.m. systems last month russia showcased its truly top notch weaponry of unguarded mysel system to a team of u.s. military inspector is really unprecedented move they explained it was an attempt to revitalize the key new start treaty nuclear arms reduction agreement the only one left between russia and america it expires next february and theories are it may not be extended to american experts had

a unique access to evan bard missile system for 2 whole days it is unclear so far how or if it influences washington's position this is what weidner putin had to say about russia's advanced weaponry and he when you should you know us when you can minister to us in there today there is a unique situation in a new and contemporary history other countries now have to catch up no other country in the world has a hypersonic. weapon nobody has a hypersonic weapon with a coast to coast range. which a successful development and test of really advanced weapons caused quite a stir in washington when it was 1st announced last year but most to ease regenerate in all the time that it is only looking for better relations with america especially in the field of strategic cooperation. and some touch he's coming from central asia a passenger plane has crashed shortly after taking off from port in kazakstan

killing 12 people dozens are injured including children greene you know. and they're you know pretty good to the men trying to do good but do you. believe you did not run their lives remain deeply regretted not only because i didn't want to frighten you i was. sure you see it is you the british you know you are the only thing that is. who we are and then you do that in some way look at the reason we were just as risk . as the shows it was aboard the airport you would use your perception they see you look at those pictures and we realize what a tragedy it is for kazakstan only a few days before new year's eve but if there is a case in which the words good news could be appropriate after a plane crash this is the one because right now we already understand that the

doctors have confirmed that the majority of the people who were on board survived which means that this couldn't have been a nose dive from a high altitude what actually happened was that this back air flight took off from the airport in almaty which is the biggest city in kazakhstan it was still dark there about 20 minutes past 7. but then quickly started losing altitude then it hit a concrete barrier before crashing into a small building this was just a 2 story building i can tell you that almost like i said it's the biggest city it's a big metropolitan area the airport is not that far from it so there are suburban areas residential areas surrounding the airport so this is apparently where the plane and it up the captain of the aircraft is among the dead what about the plane itself well this is a medium sized twin turbo fan short range regional jet it's called focker $100.00

it was produced by a dutch company before it went bankrupt up until 1997 but this particular plane was 23 years old so was one of the final ones to be produced by that company and still the widely operated by 2 major airlines in australia for example as a regional jet by quantas and virgin it's also being operated by an iranian airline and back air this was actually the only type of aircraft that they have and while this is a big company in kazakstan it is the 2nd most popular domestic airline that the people use there for domestic flights to the onus now on the catholic authorities of coast to establish exactly what happened what if they don't so clearly grounded all flights by that type of aircraft and like i said just because it's fleet only consists of this particular aircraft now they're out of operation for how long

right now we don't know many people are still in critical condition so the doctors are fighting for their lives the president promised that those responsible for the crash will definitely be punished i can tell you that this particular airline was going through some financial difficulties lately but previous the no incidents with its aircraft had led to any kind of fatalities. well classical forty's are now considering 2 possible reasons for the tragedy either pilot error or a technical malfunction geoffrey thomas from airline ratings dot com gave us his thoughts on what might have gone wrong early indications point to 2 possible causes one is that as we can see snow snow everywhere was very very cold icing conditions and it may well have been that the plane was not correctly d.-i still not do ya stood all and if there's a build up of ice on the wing as soon as the plane takes off you're going to have

a situation where you'd hit the lift over the top of the wing the air over the top of the wing is disturbed therefore you lose lift the plane only reach now 2 to 40 feet and then crash back to earth. and the other thing we but there's a possibility there was an engine problem we know the aircraft reached takeoff speed of about 175 miles an hour and then quickly let's speak quickly to within a 2nd or 2 of takeoff back to 148 and that's when all the data was lost. so possible engine problems possible icing problem on the wings. and another headline story for you iran it china and russia have started joint naval exercises in the indian ocean in the gulf from on this friday however with the location a flashpoint between iran and the west in the past somebody if there's more to the

details than meets the eye despite what the official minus. coming naval drills are aimed at deepening exchange and cooperation among the nations of the 3 countries on war and displays the 3 sides strong will and capabilities to jointly maintain world peace and maritime security while actively building a maritime community with a shared future. this isn't just a military exercise it's a it's a political statement the strait of hormuz is the world's most important oil 3 a 5th of odd daily oil flows through it 21 percent of global supply every day it's a crazy amount and as with oil the strait is highly flammable we begin with a schematic escalation of tension between iran and the actor serious provocation tonight in the strait of hormuz after iran seized a british tanker iran seizing control of a british oil tanker u.k.

is accusing iranian boats of trying to intercept a british oil tanker and they seem to be no end to this escalation washington and everyone with a warship or regiment to spare seem to be rushing into the persian gulf i mean wasn't the nicest neighborhood to begin with what with saudi arabia and iran mortal enemies facing off across the top of channels and when it seemed like things couldn't get worse they did. the attack was launched from the north and was in question a response of by iran and made all the calls for deescalation iran has now launched an unprecedented attack on the world's energy supply. having failed at max pressure

secretary is turning to max deceit blaming iran won't end disaster right at the edge of the precipice cooler heads prevailed things calmed down somewhat everyone's figure is still in the trigger but it's more a diplomatic battle now for example trump still pressing on with his sanctions trying to force iran to abide by a nuclear deal that trump himself pulled out of big protest in iran as well helped along by washington. the exercise is officially unrelated to this crisis it's an anti pirate an anti terror drill it's also a very clever move by iran pressured and threatened as it is by america the ron decided to cool who has some friends apparently for a friendly sailed together china and russia the 2nd and 3rd most powerful

militaries in the world as i said pretty clever. in a wide ranging interview with iran's chief foreign policy adviser has spoken to finally about how his country is coping under the strain of u.s. sanctions russia is a strategic partner our relations are very dynamic developing is a bilateral regional and international partnership currently there are no relations between iran and us iran's representatives will not negotiate with the americans until the u.s. rejoins the p 5 plus one group we've been living under u.s. sanctions for 40 years now from time to time they would ease the sanctions then crank them up again however iran has learned to adopt to get around the sanctions you'll need more than just sanctions to subdue such a big and powerful nation is a wrong it has sea and land borders with a total length of more than 8000 kilometers and it borders in 15 countries we have already experienced all kinds of sanctions both before and after the war with iraq

we know how to run our country to spite any american sanctions. you're watching auti still ahead in the program kicked out of the british military for being gay now there's a push for compensation it's our next story in just over a minute. you may go up is like the child in the room it's impulsivity it's narcissism it's us versus them it's fear the prefrontal cortex it's empathy it's compassion it's thinking about the future in terms of what we do today that's where we need to make our decisions based from from the prefrontal cortex unfortunately when we eat a modern diet of our planet or when we watch the news or we spend too much time

online we lock in to be a make believe we lock in to the child in the room and we're not able to make good decisions. the washington consensus led by the united states says the liberal world order must be defended at almost all costs said differently the foreign policy blog demands the post cold war you know polar moment to be preserved but alas it would seem a motorcade has already arrived. talk about rights activists and not quitting on the defense ministry to compensate more than 150 people who say they were expelled from the military because of their sexuality l g b t campaign to say that the armed forces passed policy of discrimination did untold

damage to the lives of many service personnel and the victims must receive redress many people suffered horribly on the officially sanctioned discrimination and persecution as a result of the ban on bt plus people in the armed forces the end would be has been far too slow to pull edges and the recompense for their suffering ministers should be doing all they can to put this right. gay people were banned from serving in the british armed forces until the european court of human rights ruled the policy on no 4 back in 2000 since that has paid out 4000000 pounds in compensation and says it has settled 51 cases of discrimination over 100 other claims have been either rejected with tourne l g b t activists insist that many more military personnel are likely to have been affected by the ban meeting british rights campaign appeared to touch all says

thousands of gay people were forced out of the military between the late 1940 s. and the turn of the century in the eighty's he says as many as 300 people were kicked out because of their sexuality and many cases this had a severe impact on service members' lives that bertie does accept that the policy was unjust we are we are fewer than 200 cases in which individuals may have been dismissed on the grounds of their sexuality although we accept that there may be cases that aren't known about we accept our policy in respect of serving homosexuals in the military was wrong discriminatory and unjust to the individuals involved peter who i mentioned earlier and on terry walker who's a columnist at the new york observer and a political commentator gave us their reaction to this issue. i think we need to recognize the real pain suffering that was subjected to these men they not only lost their job and their income but because they are in the forces

they lost their forces accommodation their home they also lost their pension rights and many of their friends at the time the law of the law and gay people for being in the military there are similar rules that ban our people being in the military for a variety of reasons medical conditions what have you thrown out the purpose of the armed forces to protect and defend the united kingdom that is their primary role they were not bad soldiers otherwise perfect service records but of course some of the people who signed up didn't realize they were gay when they enlisted their only realized much later on in their career and it would be very very perverse to punish people on the basis that they should have known they were gay but when they signed up when they were 1617 or 18 years old we hear this all the time don't we for various groups that we should treat people in the past as idiots because they were less in lights and those what is going to be difficult here is if it's so at some

point in the future we change our opinion then we're suddenly compensating people from the past are my concern is there any organization or group or political view might be able to come forward in the future and attempt to sue or get compensation out of the british government so i think it is fair and reasonable to say that these men do deserve compensation commensurate with the suffering and injustice that they serve the numbers currently under compensation is tiny indeed a tiny fraction of the numbers who were victimized by this unjust law what we need is a military that is capable of fighting and we need commanders not politicians or indeed rights activists to decide who military personnel are and how they're deployed. libya's internationally recognized government has officially requested militarists assistance from touchy as it attempts to stave off an offensive by the warlords knesset have to the turkish president has said that lawmakers will decide. whether

to deploy troops to the war torn country. we would go to a place where we are invited to go we would not go to a place we're not invited to go to at the moment since there is such an invitation we were. the 1st thing we will hopefully do as soon as the parliament resumes is to present the military deployment god willing on the 8th or 9th of january whichever we will pass is in our parliament and we will be responding to the invitation of libya was plunged into chaos in the wake of the 20 love an uprising on the subsequent killing of its then need to moammar gadhafi by u.s. backed rebels the crisis stricken country is currently being fought over by 2 rival administrations the un backed government in tripoli and a government based in top broke in the east general have task forces have been closing in on the capital in recent months however both the united states and the arab league have voice their opposition to a turkish military intervention. and it will only prolong the confrontation and

increase the suffering of the people of libya it will also hinder international diplomatic efforts aimed at a peaceful settlement of the libyan crisis president donald j. trump spoke with president. egypt regarding libya the leaders rejected for an exploitation agreed that barges must take urgent steps to resolve the conflict before libyans lose control to foreign actors. for more insight on this now let's cross live to markham he's the director of the crisis research institute mark tell me why do you think that turkey would be willing to deploy troops what does it stand to gain from this. well turkey and its allied cateye are have big tensions with the egypt and the saudis and the immoralities over a whole issue a lot of issues including issues in the persian gulf like the status of cattle and so libya in some ways is a proxy conflict between these rivals for domination in the middle east but also

turkey not only has problems with these allies of the west like egypt and saudis in the americas. in libya it also has problems with some of its nato us greece and france in particular so we have a real problem here that we see within nato serious tensions between the turks on the one hand and other nato allies on the other and then also tensions between the turks and some other united states in the west from the persian gulf so libya in some ways is a kind of conflict where there are also some local reasons why after in the tripoli government or at each other's throats but these outside forces will nominally allied to each other are also at each other's throats struggling for influence over after all a very oil and gas rich country and how do you think you talked about tattoo size how do you think this will impact relations with its international partners considering that some of them after a mess the port behind general have to well i think in some ways it reflects turkey's growing sense that really its european partners in particular in nato and

it's hoped had hoped to join the e.u. they rather rejected it and so turkey in a sense is saying you've rejected us we can show that we can be rather awkward to you but also turkey is perhaps looking at a situation in syria where you have a kind of civil war that may be going to be terribly to an end and one of the things the turks will be doing is actually trying to relocate some of the militant fighters that it's been supporting in syria to libya to get them away from turkey where perhaps if the turks are seen to her sold them out by not supporting a continuation of the war in syria they could become very or could turkey itself so there are all sorts of wheels within wheels going on here normal or particularly attractive but also all of them risk. sparking a wider conflict between also turkey and its greek neighbors between all the partners of the west and so it's a rather bizarre situation from which the united states is in many ways standing aside what we know will say for example the russian president said just a couple of days go by what he was meeting with the italian prime minister that

only a peaceful resolution to this conflict is impossible how likely do you think that attack us intervention could actually resolve the conflict. well i don't think it's likely to resolve it is it is possible that it would prop up the government in tripoli and for instance the italian government in a sense tacitly supports the turkish side because they're afraid that if you have fighting in the city of $2000000.00 people at triple it will be a huge outflow of migrants over the sea to italy and so the italians are very anxious to prop up that government primarily for that reason to avoid a humanitarian crisis. and so we see italy and france for instance taking rather different stances on this whole issue so there's the migrant crisis this whole issue of energy resources but also there's a kind of struggle who's going to be top dog in the mediterranean you talked about energy resources we know that they're huge oil reserves in the east of the country which is the predominant control of half how do you think a desire perhaps to get hands on oil could potentially impact this will you see

partly the turks looking at the sea between turkey and libya and they've made an agreement with the tripoli government that will enable them to explore and exploit or oil and gas reserves in the sea but also the capital government in east face is the problem it controls the oil and gas but if you want to buy it on the world market you have to pay the money into a tripoli bank account so one reason why after all wants to capture tripoli airport while those is that then he can say well i do control the central bank and therefore the oil and gas we sell from to brooke can actually be paid for into accounts that we in the east can access and so so long as the tripoli government controls the international bank account of libya it may not control much territory but it does as it were control the cash that was marked off of the director of the crisis research institute thank you so much for taking the time to speak to us this evening thank you. for finally a reminder of our breaking news here on our international wiki leaks has published

a 4th part of internal documents from the international chemical weapons watchdog the opus of w consigning an alleged chemical attack on the syrian it's. last april the release contains a number of potential revelations it would appear for instance that a senior official ordered the deletion of an engineering report which was but all of the organizations findings from the internal database another document claims that the symptoms in victims were not consistent with exposure to chlorine costing father doubts on the organizations final report the attack was blamed at the time on the syrian government which was targeted with strikes by the west before any investigation took place there b.t.w. for its part has always insisted it considered all of the available evidence when producing its final report. well that's how things are shaping up for now i'll be back to top the hour the latest but to tide you over i'm told on his crosstalk.

my latest sidekick a seat on the world social media office jacksie ordered on teacher. but it was you know it is an. important one you know we've got to get it out. to cause you need to move now because you know. these speeches and i use down 6 to make it very very easy and also to make school on drugs used to people. who. know. who to call people who
