transgender physics teacher in the u.k. face installment criticism for wearing a t. shirt that said trans women men. good morning welcome you're watching international where she's. in moscow. now wiki leaks has released a 4th batch of documents from the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons that do cast further doubt on its report on allegations of a chemical attack in the syrian city of during the last year they reveal. chose to ignore evidence that contradicts its conclusion that the attack came from the air but it has more on the story. a toxicologist pharmacologist and a bio analytical chemist walk into the o.p.c. w u b c w shows them a video of an alleged chemical attack and asked 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 answer 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 and he 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 of it's deliberate storage with documents registry archives 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 acids aircraft but placed at the scene obviously placed by someone staged. tried not just to exclude certain information but bury it completely expunged from their own all call it. that is 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 o.p.c. w. what's really encouraging though is we have people within the organization all willing to try and get the truth. is out of it steps here in terms of p.r. and diplomacy in apostate been

a quite organization remember they've won the nobel prize professionally getting on with their work but they appear to have been subverted and led astray if you like and they're going to 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 guide they were. down and be in denial as indeed is the whole pretty much of the western especially us u.k. media in not actually festa knowledge and the truth 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 report they're leaving 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 weren't some of these. youths who knew certain public discussion. i would like to read through it. unprofessional. reached by the side. 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 may not be the impression you get on t.v. or in the big big has it's all o.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 of

a molecule now it big switch molecule to shoe in which to hide now the u.p.c. w. synthesizes chemical guilt literally out of thin air. we did ask you to confirm whether the revelations there are indeed true although so far they have not responded. to the lawsuit has been filed in the us against military contract who allegedly paid protection money to the taliban in afghanistan with more on this his kind of. ever since 911 the us 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 taliban including the kani network which were designed to boost the company's profits by redirects and finds way from the room business interests we believe plaintiffs bill 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 it up lining the pockets of insurgents now 2 of the firms that are named in the papers the 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 competed 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 u.s. 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 funder 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 but we have asked the companies that do not know who seem to know

side of us state department to comment on the story they haven't got back to us iraq war veterans again told us that the case does highlight the deep roots in u.s. policy in afghanistan. in order to make money for contracting companies that 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. in other news this morning libya's internationally recognized government is officially requested nutri systems from turkey is it attempts to stave off an offensive by the board would have to the turkish president has said that will make his will decide the january whether to point troops to the war torn country. i would go with that. we would go to a place where we were 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 sworn to 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 this in our parliament and we will be responding to the invitation well libya has plunged into chaos in the wake of the 2011 uprising

and the subsequent killing of its then leader moammar gadhafi by u.s. backed rebels the country is currently being fought over by 2 rival administrations the un backed government in the capital and the government based into broke in the east renegade general belief or have to us forces have been closing in on tripoli in recent months however both the united states and the arab league have voiced their opposition to the 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. egypt regarding would be ago we destroyed jacques did for an exploitation agreed that part is must take urgent steps to resolve the conflict before libyans lose control to foreign actors like armand is these are rector of the crisis research institute he told us why he believes that turkey is poised to intervene militarily in the libyan 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 saudis in the americas. in libya it also has problems with some of its nato allies greece and prancer particular turkey in a sense is saying you've rejected us we can show that we can be rather awkward to you so libya in some ways is a kind of sand pit conflict where there are also some local reasons why after in the tripoli government directly charges through the capital government in east bay supporting it controls the oil and gas but if you want to buy it from the world market you have to pay the money into tripoli thank you 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 but these outside forces will nominally allied to each other are also at each other's throats struggling for influence over after all very oil and gas rich country. and this christmas

a group of young muslims in london made presents for children in hospital and from less well off families it is part of a drive to improve culture a link between communities these are early reports. christmas it's a time of families coming together and 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 also try 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 this festive feeling 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 the shia muslim youth group based in north london it's all about coming together

with 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 gift for messenger highlighting the intimate relationship between islam's mohammed and christianity cheeses and 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 sends and i think it's just. because of the muslims the time they respond to with compassion and with mostly 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 in that there are some people who. compassion mercy general beneficence all these things. are important it is a time of rising tensions. on the wall the hate crime on the rise it's also important to show that those issues don't represent the whole picture. still ahead this hour for them to take a storm of criticism for wearing a t. shirt that says trans women. to stop.

just to see in brazil in a really. awesome it's beautiful it's gorgeous hey if you were running a country that had an amazing pristine rain forest what would you do with. the.

welcome back in with our transgender physics teacher from the u.k. could be kicked off a union committee for alleged transphobia behaving here faces a storm of criticism after wearing a top that said trans women and men. power had to respect her own gender less than the rest of us respect her gender pathetically confused person the sooner your idiocy and discriminatory behavior is closed down and your continued to be known platforms the better what a clown how dare you where's the trans flak on your profile and see such transformative scenes get educated more the t. shirt back in july and event organized by the campaign group called fair play for women it didn't go down too well though with some who complained to the general secretary of the committee she is part of they said that she was propagating hate

speech against the trans community and she could now face discipline reaction to an expulsion from her seat on the trade union congress elegy committee hating no he's sticking to her view that trans people are biologically attached to the sex they are born that we spoke to trans africa jordan evans about this he says 8 interviews 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 gabby'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 comes to actually in my opinion a greater issue with cancell 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 cancell 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 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 following 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. the world anti-doping agency has received an official complaint from the truck came to pass after the country was banned from major

sports events for 4 years for allegedly manipulating drug test data while the says it's ready to defend the banning caught well under the ban russia cannot participate in the 2020 lympics intake and the football world cup and cats are proving clean russian athletes they can participate as individuals under a neutral flag russia also won't be able to host will championship sports events for the next 4 years russia's sports minister pavel kolob culver says that while this decision is politicized. but you got that opinion 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 out for jerry in the appeal trial yes there have been violations in connection with athlete listen code 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 coaches would be the owner. but then you go with that over the past few years we've essentially built a whole new system of the founders of the or saga are now russia's a limb pick and power alone pick committees 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 result confirms this its work was evaluated and dina's satisfactory by the sco and the council of europe despite that the wada made this decision 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 if they show their flesh and. i believe at this point we 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 if you haven't. swallowing some of bill's going to follow clean athletes on the next period is keeping silent about that that clean athlete thing is true of all that responsible there's no other way to overcome this malady and with the multitude of buttons but. now it finishes with in case you missed it and the 3rd installment of polyploid case review of 2019 well among other things she

does look at trump's impeachment and the anti protests in paris. the end of 2019 sword trump bottle impeachment britain elects its own 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 and back with the global strike to draw attention to climate change by community says meanwhile in washington the dems finally had the donald where they wanted him staring down the barrel of impeachment proceedings for georgie phone call where the u.s. president may or may not have put pressure on that comedian ukrainian president to investigate jerry biden's son in return for military aid allegedly in ontario hit the fan when donald trump decided to pull u.s. troops out of syria abandoning that kurdish allies to face and by turkish forces

only by the end of the month the u.s. military had pulled out $1000.00 u.s. troops and sent back another $900.00 why because. that's right because america is keeping the oil also that money has a 1000000 catalonians really so they passed up false alert they were on happy with this time the government's harsh sentencing of the one of the breakaway regions formally does in fact bashing things up in the name of democracy was a very much the all term trend in november bolivia chile peru and ecuador went up in flames as frustrated latin americans railed against corrupt governments on top economic conditions and in france the yellow best celebration is a year of protests where another protest one that i see why my extended has nothing

like the smell of to gas in the afternoon. democracy demonstrations in hong kong were being labeled a potential civil war while in the middle east lebanon's revolution started off as a cuddly protest policy algeria was acting as well whatever in iraq things turned ugly quickly out of hundreds of demonstrators were killed in the event by that was good news for jailed wiki leaks founder julian assange sweden had dropped those allegations of sexual misconduct against him i believe that u.s. extradition cases. and in december. johnson finally got the election he wanted winning by a landslide. that brags it wouldn't be cancelled probably with $29000.00 coming to an end it's seasons greetings from the i see why my team see all the time to become what they believe has taken $29.00 team in full on our website as well as

. the true china. for the more from us in about 35. you know world of big. logs and conspiracy it's time. to dig deeper to get the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. 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. this is a sticker for a water bottle found in the stomach of the fish the brand is part of the coca-cola

company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day. the idea was that let's tell consumers they're the bad ones they're the litter bugs are trying this way industry should be blamed for all this waste the company has long promised to reuse the plastic. that's. essential to funding. on the new best that is the end of a footy team but for now the mountains of waste only grow higher. and we're going to fulfill the repeated promises apologise to the people come on you know we've all pots to. be. pretty. please.

now you want to work. on no. ball. coming. max kaiser this is the kaiser report back to stacey in brazil in rio de janeiro

it's awesome it's beautiful it's gorgeous hey if you were running a country that had an amazing pristine rainforest what would you do with it let's think about this stacy i would not chop it down and sell it for matchsticks as max keiser is famous little video you made back in 2004 or 5 talking about gold and that gold actually comes into this because. after this 1st have i'm brazilian amazon deforestation this year nearly the size of puerto rico says agency destruction of the world's largest tropical rainforest total 563 square kilometers in november which is more than double the area in the same month last year according to the country's space research agency i.m.p. on friday that would bring total deforestation for the period from january to november to 8934 square kilometers 83 percent more than in the same period in

2018 and an area almost the size of puerto rico yeah you know i have an idea for brazil actually they should introduce a oxygen futures market and so countries around the world to italy and india places in china that are dying from air pollution they can mitigate that risk by buying oxygen from brazil on the oxygen futures market that alone could be a multi-billion half a trillion dollar industry right there turning the rain forest into a recurring stream of revenue and so just chopping it down to make money merrifield money is made out of paper so here they're just feeding the money apocalypse by chopping down actually the longs of the earth there's so many ways you can turn that into a valuable asset chopping it down it would be the stupidest i believe it is the stupidest and of course as a whole if you maintain the 100 percent of the area and the commodity and the resource that is.
