scans for the down from the final report by chemical weapons wants to give you peace until you and the alleged attack this is the last year releasing internal documents just a cover up may have taken. place far to guessing classes on the 59th weekend of year the 1st rallies arab. families of americans killed or injured in afghanistan by the taliban u.s. contractors for allegedly funding the photograph.

other thanks for joining us this evening on. wiki leaks has released a 4th but should documents from the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons cast further down on its report on allegations of a chemical attack in the syrian city of duma last year they reveal the o.p.c. w chose to ignore evidence that contradicts its conclusion that the attack came from the air. picks up 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 especially 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 archive and please remove all traces if any 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. they've 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 it 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 join get the truth. out of it step here in terms of p.r. and diplomacy in the past they've 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 into 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 4th leak now of documents if the past 3 leaks are current they will isolate and

double down and be in denial as indeed is the whole pretty much of the western especially u.s. u.k. media in not actually investigating your knowledge and the truth that is now actually seeming to be emerging there's 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 they're leading contradictory witness testimony classified and keeping secret victims' 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. new. discussion

were. unprofessional. reached by. you know who disagrees with him the 1st director general of the o.p.c. w. who has cosigned an open letter calling on the organization to let people who they've gagged speak out with every week the 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 many of the people writing these are they're scared there's only so much that they're allowed to write many editors and many journalists aren't even aware of the propaganda so what will take place is they'll be told. oh no this is this is all just rubbish look at this spelling council call and maybe some are aware that there are some they are dubious

and they're not to be trusted i think there's probably too much risk involved in shouldn't listen we shouldn't be trusting them or why should that took place in new zealand in takes place of many organizations where you go at it is you know possibly senior reporters where you know they go and work in these think tank release you know that cultivating relationships with us state department officials or heads of different political organizations and i think what not stars do is. you know it becomes a conflict of interest this is the new p.c. w. it is no longer about 5 didn't the truth establishments what happened molecule by molecule now it big switch molecule to show in which to hide now the u.p.c. w. synthesisers chemical guilt literally out of thin air. we have us the o b c w to confirm the claims they have yet to respond. ill of us

demonstrators are gathered in paris for a 593 grand of protest they've joined forces with those who condemned the government's pension reform plans charlotte dubin city has more. well it's the 59th week of protests by the israelis yeomans out every saturday to show their discontentment with the french government and what they see as being policies for the rich are they gauge the poor they've also been joined by protest of those against the pension reforms at the moment in france these the reforms that the french government is trying to put through some reforms that would see some food she choose different pension systems joining down into one universal system so to give you a sense of the crimes that we've caught hey you might be able to see i simply ghana's and this protest crowd heading back towards god to norwich is about a kilometer away they are in fact also in front of vs well so far this is being

a generally calm protest but as you can see some of the protesters are trying to pull down some of the barrier is that or that fool the rude works of it going on in this area it seems like the tensions are starting to rise now here in paris as act 59 is underway we're being told not to fail not to show what's going on. but he said any series as you can see my camera is being a crisis that i still think of as the looming who is interested in you know 4 years or the book of all this all. the political will just trying to do our jobs in paris here by showing what's going on with the protests as you probably can see from the end of that footage where cameraman was attacked when we tried to stop the attack us from talking in the camera and that she smacked me across the face this is the kind of reaction you get from some of what people describe as being the

black blocks just literally walking me smack across both sides of my face because i was trying to explain to him that we're doing our job and to stop trying to harass my cameraman and attempting to break the camera eye. you can see the police going to wards that fire that has been laid by the protests since you can see things being thrown out the police by some of the protesters now as they try and get closer this is the area where we were trying to film earlier and were attacked during so by some of those mosques protest is that fire being said to some of the road works that were taking place and it looks like they've been able to get some rubbish to put on top of that police now putting that out very quickly and trying to secure the area as the protest is still around and you can feel the tension rising in the end of this 59th week of the yellow vests protests and of course joined by those on protest against the changes to the pension system bringing book

food by the french government. thank you. thank you. and the tear gas now you just purses the police trying to control those crimes you could see they were bottles they look like lost vocals being thrown into the pace you can still see some things being thrown into the air and not tear gas now that cloud coming pushing us away as a mechanism again for trying to control the protests picking at this is already is it's coming quite close to say really need to move forward

a bit faster if we thought if we can just to try and get away from that particular now dispersed by the police and attempts to control the crowds here close to shuttle a in the center of paris just give you a sense. where she actually is it's just across the water from north down that famous cathedral here in paris the police that trying to move themselves away at that tear gas unusual to see the police crying from the tear gas it's a perhaps nice to see for me that said i'm not the only person who is that impacted by the cas. a lawsuit has been filed in the u.s. against military come trying to sue allegedly paid protection money to the taliban in afghanistan has been explained 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 redirects and fines 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. we have us the companies named in the lawsuit also the us state department to comment although so far they've yet to get back to us iraq war veteran said you can check in told us the case highlights the deep pools 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 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 finding 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 i 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. at least 90 people have reportedly being killed with a security checkpoint in the somali capital mogadishu a truck filled with explosives blew up near a tax collection point most of the victims were university students there this is one of the most deadly souls in years is somalia is no stranger to such attacks notably by al qaeda linked group al-shabaab no one is have claimed responsibility for saturday's. staying with r.t. more news coming your way after this break.

in the depths. for a mate in the shallows. this christmas a group of young muslims in london made presents for children in hospital from less well off as part of a drive to improve cultural links between communities he has the story. 1st worst 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 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 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 and 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 is jesus 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. call of the muslims the time they respond to those 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 for whom. compassion mercy general beneficence all these things. are important it is a time of rising tensions. in the wild and hate crime on the rise it's also important to show that those issues don't represent the whole picture easily r.t. london. deadly forest fires in the australian state of new south wales have been raging for almost 2 months now firefighters are gearing up for hotter drier and windy conditions next week with the temperature expected to reach 45 degrees c. amid all this the country's government's just launched the next expensive ad campaigns designed to boost tourism to the country and it's led some to wonder about priorities.

majlis to me. there i said if you just need some spice to edit it.

tourism australia should be under investigation for false advertising thoughts art has no open minds offshore prisons smoke shops cities the bushes on fire and the corals of bleached deer australia probably not the best time to run a tourism act anyway kumi when you have a science based crime class. brits are walking into australia after seeing the kylie minogue tourism ad. for a transgender physics teacher in the u.k. could be kicked off a union committee over alleged transphobia they behaved and faced a barrage of criticism after wearing a top that said trans women are meant. poll 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

platform the better what a clown. how dare you where's the trans flak on your profile and say such transformed things get educated. it's a more the t. shirt back in july at an event organized by the campaign group called fair play for women are out that didn't go down well with some who complained to the general secretary of the committee that she is part of they said she was propagating hate speech against the trans community they think could now face disciplinary action and lose her seat on the trade union congress committee and even those sticking to the view that trans people are biologically attached to the sex that born us we spoke to trans advocate jordan evans who says hayden's fees 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 comes to 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 cancell culture right now there is no. time for redemption no opportunity to actually. from what you dime 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 the trans monikers a very important part of who i am it's a very important part of my journey i'm a woman with that's why 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. exists solely to keep us down. often says our with in case you missed it in the 3rd installment review of the year where among other things she looks at trump's impeachment the protests in paris. the ends of 2019 sword trump bottle impeachment britain its own bomb shell leda 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

flames as frustrated latin americans railed against corrupt governments on top economic conditions and in france the yellow vests celebration is a year of protests where another protest one that i see why my 10 dead 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 costly protest policy algeria was acting as well whatever in iraq things turned ugly quickly out and hundreds of demonstrators were killed in their them but there 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 boris johnson finally

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 the 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 me. the good news is. this is a sticker from the old water bottle found in the stomach of a 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 there are the bad ones there the litter bugs are throwing this away industry should be blamed for all this waste the company has long promised to reuse the plastic.
