looking. quickly scarse further down from the a.b.c. w.'s final report on the alleged chemical attack in the syrian city of doing in the last year releasing internal documents that suggest a cover up may have taken place also to come families of americans killed or injured in afghanistan by the taliban so u.s. contracts for allegedly funding the terror group and the transgender physics community carry face a storm of criticism for wearing a t. shirt saying that trans women and men. alike good morning just gone 10 here in moscow you with r.t. international now wiki leaks has released

a 4th batch of documents from the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons that cast further doubt on its report on allegations of a chemical attack in the syrian city of during the last year they reveal the o.p.c. w chose to ignore evidence that contradicts its conclusion that the attack came from the air but it can steer has more on the story toxicologist pharmacologist and bio analytical chemist walk into the u.p.c. w u b c w shows them a video of an alleged chemical attack and ask them what sort of symptoms they see could they tell what gas it was the specialists all look at the video and agree on one and the rest is classified or was classified. it was agreed among all present that the key takeaway message from the meeting was that the symptoms observed were inconsistent with exposure to chlorine and no other obvious candidate chemical causing the symptoms could be identified another day

another leak another embarrassment and another blow to the u.p.c. w.'s credibility they knew they knew the rebel video was questionable didn't find any nerve agent any chlorine in quantities sufficient to indicate a chemical attack nothing but they wouldn't admit it we know of at least one person at the u.p.c. w.'s very selective about what gets saved and what gets deleted please get this document out of documents registry archives and please remove all traces if any of those deliberate storage with documents registry archived that was from sebastian brar france's representative to the u.p.c. w in that e-mail he demands the deletion of a technical report which concluded that the gas canisters most likely were dropped from the air by as ads aircraft but placed at the scene obviously placed by someone staged. they've tried not just to exclude certain from asian but

beriah completely expunged from their own i'll call it. that it's not there is not a scientific method is it people don't just bury or delete and actually delete all traces of a report that is that the smoking gun of a cover up and now we see the capture and the politicization of the a.b.c. w. what's really encouraging though is we have people within the organization all willing to try and get the true that. out of it step here in terms of p.r. and diplomacy in the past they've been a quiet organization remember they've won the nobel prize professionally getting on with their work but i pits of been subverted and led astray if you like and they've gone into this uncharted waters where now i think from a p.r. perspective they're finding it difficult to cope and in the past if the past 3 leaks because this is a false leak now of documents if the past 3 leaks are guarded very well i say. down and be in denial as indeed it's the whole pretty much of the western especially us

u.k. media in not actually festive knowledge and the truth that is now actually seeming to be emerging as not enough time to run through everything that the u.p.c. w. edited out every corner they cut every piece of evidence they twisted to make asaad look guilty and like excluding all but one of their investigators who went to syria for writing the report then leading contradictory witness testimony classified and keeping secret victim's toxicology reports bringing in american intelligence agents 10 electric chemists 2 dozen employees suspected professionalism fraud or even foul play according to leaked e-mails but the boss he stuck to his guns what some of these. new. discussions were i would like to read through it. unprofessional.

you know who disagrees with him the 1st director general of the u.p.c. w. who is who signed an open letter calling with new organization to let people who they've gagged speak out with every week this story gets bigger more scandalous which you know it be the impression you get on t.v. or in the big big has it's all p.c. w defends its report and hits back at whistleblowers this is the new p.c. w. it is no longer about 5 didn't the truth stablish in what happened more like you'll buy a molecule now it picks which molecule to shoe and which to hide now the u.p.c. w. synthesizes chemical guilt literally out of thin air when we did ask you to confirm whether the revelations there are indeed true although so far they

have responded. now a lawsuit has been filed in the us against military contractors who allegedly paid protection money to the taliban in afghanistan and of more pain as more details. ever since 911 the u.s. government has been working to criminalize prosecute and sanction those who fund terrorism however there's a recent lawsuit that seems to hit pretty close to home a new lawsuit alleges that some u.s. companies operating in afghanistan contracting with the u.s. military have been paying out large amounts of protection cash to the taliban now the lawsuit is filed on behalf of those who have lost relatives in afghanistan this is how the lawyer representing those family members explained the legal action. the anti terrorism complaint alleges that 8 large multinational corporations most of

which are american regularly paid protection payments to the taleban including the kani network which were designed to boost the company's profits by redirect some fines way from the room business interests we believe plaintiffs boule the consequences and the scale of the payouts was quite staggering between 20 and 40 percent of all funds for major projects in afghanistan and up lining the pockets of insurgents now 2 of the firms that are named in the paper's da i global and louis berger group they received roughly $1000000000.00 in development aid between 20072009 now one of the companies named in the case says it's very proud of the work that it did in afghanistan a spokesman for blocking veach said he's completed follow the directions of u.s. government agencies and was proud of his projects in afghanistan earlier this month congress released a report regarding the war in afghanistan and which u.s.

military officials revealed some hard truths about the us campaign what are we trying to do here we didn't have the foggiest notion of what we were undertaking there is a fundamental gap of funder standing in the front end over stated objectives and over reliance on the military and the lack of funds or standing of the resources necessary so this latest case adds to the overall picture of billions wasted and pointless loss of life in what has been the longest war that the united states has ever waged. and that we have asked the companies named in that nor suit and also the u.s. state department to comment on the story although so far they haven't got back to us iraq war veterans. told us the case does highlight the deep throws in u.s. policy in afghanistan. in order to make money for contracting companies they don't

care they will they will bid the contract they'll take the contract and then on the ground once you get the money then you figure out how you go about it afghan war papers i think they they state things pretty clearly number one there was no mission we have not control the country at all so the taleban and al-qaeda and whoever else is in their islamic state which is actually a minority basically the funding and the money gets funneled down that way this is where the issue goes back to actually going back to the perpetrators of the war and the conflict and not just you can blame contractors for a lot of things for sure but they're also they get these contracts and they they get to operate. libya is internationally recognized government has officially requested military assistance from turkey was it attempts to stave off an offensive by the warlord aletha huffed the turkish president has said that will make his will

decide in early january whether it's to point troops to the war torn country. almost all of it in movie visit it we would go to a place where we were invited to go we would not go to a place we are 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. god willing on the 8th or 9th of january which of the past is not parliament and we will be responding to the invitation maybe it was plunged into chaos in the wake of the $27.00 uprising and the subsequent killing of its then leader muammar gaddafi by u.s. backed rebels the country is currently being fought over by 2 rival even a stray sions un backed government in the capital and then government based into broke in the renegade general who need to have ties forces have been close. on tripoli in recent months however both the united states and the arab league voiced

their opposition to a turkish military intervention. this interference 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 abdel fatah has says egypt regarding we'd be at the leaders rejected for an exploitation agreed that parties must take urgent steps to resolve the conflict before leiby and slews control to foreign actors markham and this the direction of the crisis research institute he told us why he believes to is poised to intervene militarily in the leaping conflict. 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 to the west like egypt and saudi in the americas. in libya it also has problems with some of its nato allies greece and prosper to turkey in a sense is saying you've rejected us we can show that we can be rolled it all could

to you so libya in some ways is a kind of conflict where there are also some local reasons why after in the tripoli government directly charges for the capital government in east face the fall it controls the oil and gas but if you want to buy it on the world market you have to pay the money into tripoli thank you so long as you tripoli government controls the international bank account of libya it may not control much territory but it does as it were control the cash but these outside forces will nominally allied to each other are also at each other's throats struggling for influence over after all very loyal and gas rich country. this christmas a group of young muslims in london and a presence for children in hospital as well as from less well off families and is part of a drive for improve code for links between communities is reports. chris worth the time of families coming together of people putting their feet up and relaxing if only for just a few days however it can also be

a tough time of the year for many in the u.k. both personally and financially and for that reason many people here are also trying to make an effort to help their fellow citizens in this festive period one such initiative also seeks to strengthen ties between culturally different communities we thought. why should anyone in christmas especially children be deprived of their of this festive feeling and so by providing them with the gifts we can try and. you know lessen their pain by drawing a big smile on their faces this initiative has been put together by the foundation here muslim youth group based in north london it's all about coming together. other like minded people and wrapping presents to be handed out to families in need as well as in local hospitals and to children in foster homes the organizers say it's a part of their faith to reach out to others particularly those in need the campaign was called gifts from messenger highlighting the intimate relationship between islam's mohammed and christianity cheeses at the end of the day we hope

that we can build bridges to become a positive i said to society in london. one local priest is enthused by the message of unity that this event sense and i think it's just. call of the muslims the time that they respond to those with compassion and with mercy and for me that's an important issue that if those are the qualities of god then you try and replicate those qualities of god so to see this is just wonderful news to recognize in that there are some people for whom. compassion mercy general attitude beneficence all these things. are important it is a time of rising tensions in the world and hate crime on the rise it's also important to show that those issues don't represent the whole picture easily r.t.

. 10 15 am here in moscow still to come this hour and transgender teacher does face a storm of criticism because of her teenage shirt that says that trans women and men are some of the stories to come just after the break. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. salacious community. are you going the right way or are you being led. what is true. in the world corrupted you need to

descend. to join us in the depths. for a mate in the shallowest. to stay in brazil in the rio de janeiro it's awesome it's beautiful it's gorgeous hey if you are running a country that is an amazing pristine rain forest what would you do it. hello again you with r.t. now a transgender physics teacher from the u.k. could be kicked off a union committee for alleged transphobia they behave in here faces a storm of criticism after wearing a top that said trans women a man. had to respect her own gender less than the rest of us respect her gender

the pathetically confused person the soon your idiocy and discriminatory behavior is closed down and your continue to be known platforms the better what a clown. how do you where's the trance flak on your profile and see such transformed things get educated. well hidden did wear the t. shirt back in july at an event organized by a campaign group called fair play for women it didn't go down too well with some who complained to the general secretary of the committee she's part of they said that she was propagating hate speech against the trans community and she could now face disciplinary action too and expulsion from her seat on the trade union congress elegy beattie committee hayden though is sticking to her view that trans people are biologically attached to the sex they are born as we spoke to trans advocate jordan evans who says that hayden's views are too controversial for some

in the community. i do agree with debbie on a number of things but we don't see eye to eye on everything in regards to this it's why any activist does what they do is to send a message and in debbie's case she wanted to send a message that trans women do often tend to have x.y. chromosomes myself included and it is a message that tends to be very controversial in trance or guns does actually in my opinion a greater issue with cancel culture as a whole this is something that we need to have a conversation about not just as a community but as a collective demographic as a generation because there is no end to cancel culture right now there is no. time for redemption no opportunity to actually. from what you've done you have done something wrong and now you must be punished if this goes through and she is severely punished for saying what she has done in the trance monikers

a very important part of who i am it's a very important part of my journey i'm a woman with x.y. chromosomes most of the time they tend to exists on social media circles and they have their own followings they lash out at people like debbie because they see her approach and they react accordingly they don't resemble people you necessarily see on social media but there are definitely people who exist solely to keep us down. that deadly forest fires in the striding state of new south wales have been raging for almost a month 2 months now and firefighters are gathering up to a hotter drier am windy conditions next week the temperature is expected to reach 45 degree celsius and meet all of this the country's government has just launched an expensive ad campaign designed to boost tourism dating some to wonder about his priorities.

international sports events for the next 4 years russia sports minister pavel clock of says why this decision is politicized. but in. my opinion and with that of lawyers the water decision runs counter to a number of sports norms as well as the international olympic committee's charter and other legislation and we will bring this up jaring the appeal trial yes there have been violations in connection with athlete listen coach we're not going to deny that it's a proven fact and listening to himself has admitted to it and he will now face the punishment as well as his coach's nickname would be. the thing gordon with over the past few years we've essentially built a whole new system of the founders of the under saga and now russia's

a limping and paralympic committee is it has a completely transparent management system in the past rushes a ministry of support was accused of interfering with their activities but now there are no such accusations and the recent check of the results confirms this its work was evaluated and satisfactory by the sco and the council of europe despite that the wada made this decision because i think it was greatly politicised they made this decision despite the fact that as i just said we had fulfilled all the requirements. and you finished their financials but i believe that this point should adopt a unified firm stance and talk to those people who are doping talk privately we

need to take this problem on together because we all bear responsibility not only the minister i mean of if the. who. is keeping some of the. clean athletes is true. there's no other way to overcome this with them. but. now we're finished with. the 3rd installment of a few of 2019 where among other things she does. a man protests in. the end of 2019 sword trump bottle impeachment britain elect its own braund bombshell lida i'm puerto tests when a truly global welcome to paul 3 i see why my eyes round up of 2019. in september extinction rebellion we're back with the global strike to draw
