headline stories of. american personnel. shaken by. pension reform. we hear reaction from commentator. apple is not clear about that. possible what does that mean. with.

many many. stories from the past 7 days and right up to the moment of elements well welcome to the weekly on our team international i mean. at least for iraqi soldiers helping injured in a rocket strike on the base to the north of. the facility also houses american personnel and was previously targeted after the u.s. assassination of a top general quarter join me earlier with the latest. yeah well we still have a lot of different reports in terms of figures of how many missiles or mortars hit the base some are saying that 7 mortar bombs hit the bases runway another says 4 rockets hit the base but we have heard from iraqi security officials and they say that 8 katyusha rockets launched were launched at the base and made contact across

the board though we do know that at least 4 iraqi military personnel have been injured and are hospitalized now we also know with the base that's been in the news before because it had a sizable american presence that's where american troops where in the part of the country it's what about 50 miles. north of are they still there as an aside to that are american troops likely have been the target yeah well actually there are still some american military advisers left at that base but the majority of them have been pulled out since the recent tensions the recent spike in tensions between the u.s. and iran recently let's not forget that just last week a u.s. airstrike killed the high ranking coots commander qassam soleimani and iran retaliation for that and it came as 2 airstrikes against u.s. military bases in iraq and nobody was killed or injured but it definitely has led to a rise in tensions between those 2 countries in the region and to run actually also

valid even harsher retaliation later on and we don't know who is responsible for this strike but that could be a factor in it perhaps they were whoever launched these missiles were trying to target americans but perhaps not because again there were only around 15 u.s. military advisers at the base at this time and none of them were hurt or injured now we have seen another report that suggests that the iranian backed p.m.s. militia was responsible for this but again there's no confirmation yet. dottle quarter speaking to me earlier we also heard from middle east analysts the more what he sees the use of non-perception missiles in the latest strike suggests the run was not responsible there has been a number of attacks previous to this of the same nature you know katyusha rockets whatever and some of them have been used as a pretext to launch attacks by the united states against the. popular mobilization

forces and there is no one who's claiming responsibility it doesn't fit with the strategy of the mobilization forces doesn't fit with the strategy of iran so it's highly unlikely that we would know without anyone claiming this week the tsar again attacks using weapons none precision weapons the margins of error are huge even if there were american forces in this base and this is not an all american base or solely american base there are iraqi soldiers there so most likely one could argue that whoever is targeting this space doesn't necessarily care about the iraqi army or iraqi personnel will be really in government is older intense pressure at the moment after admitting its forces accidentally shot on a ukrainian passenger plane the announcement came 3 days afterwards this tragedy in

which $176.00 people lost their lives recapping events for us together. this week has so more than that tragically it's the average man is the victim of political wars amid tensions not seen in decades terror on and washington have been engaged in a war of the arabian regimes aggression in the region must stand now we've told the really regime enough. the real revenge and the ultimate response by regional nations is when america is expelled from this region or. and most and its support for terrorism when you have the pentagon and the military i counted as terrorists the united states will immediately impose additional punishing economic sanctions on the iranian regime the united states rage an economic war against iran the united states has to come to its senses but the chances of this not erupting as twitter predicted when the hashtag world will 3 start to try dying was close to 0

and sure enough on monday we saw the iranian military hit 2 us at bases in iraq with missile strikes to iran it was seeking vengeance for washington's assassination of it top commander catherine saddam monny in a drone strike in baghdad just a few days. combined these events ticked the book says of the diplomatic crisis it really couldn't get much worse then came the paying crash. just minutes after taking off from terror on app or ukrainian international airlines flight $7052.00 bound for t.f. came down killing $176.00 onboard relatives of the victims from kiev to off from kabul to london and stockholm green that iran initially tonight reports

that it was behind the tragedy calling the illogical and scientifically impossible it invited investigators from various countries and organizations including boeing to visit the crash site then 3 days after the tragic incident suddenly came and admission of guilt the armed forces internal investigation has concluded that regrettably missiles fired duty human error caused the horrific crash of the ukrainian plane and the death of $176.00 innocent people investigations continue to identify and prosecute this great. tragedy and unforgivable mistake the iranian military said the boeing 737 was passing close to a site belonging to iran's revolutionary guards and that its movement an altitude suggested it was an enemy target it said that its military was at its highest level of readiness having received information on the unusual movement of u.s. warplanes so within 10 seconds

a decision was taken to launch missiles at the target according to terror on a fatal example of human error. it's me on i take full responsibility and i will obey whatever decision is taken i would prefer to die rather than witness such an incident the admission of guilt has been followed by an apology a promise to upgrade defense systems to prevent another such tragedy a transparent investigation and compensation for victims' relatives and the prosecution of the responsible person as it makes these pledges though to ron has also encouraged certain others to consider their roles in this disaster and how it is that we came to this moment the day preliminary conclusions of internal investigation by armed forces human error time of crisis caused by use adventurism lead to disaster i would prefer regrets apologies and condolences to our people to

the families of victims and to other affected nations as questions are asked as fingers are pointed as more sanctions are imposed it's not politicians but those who boarded that fateful flight on wednesday who ultimately paid the price so. dreadful a vent meanwhile the u.s. secretary of state has been having a tough time defending the assassination of iran's top general mike pump aoe was challenged on his claim dot major general solomon e. posed an imminent threat. but you didn't read it and didn't have anything to do with it and. we had specific emanation information on an imminent threat and those threats trim included attacks on the u.s. embassies what is your definition of the internet. this was going to happen and american lives were at risk if the intelligence

community is not flawless we we get it wrong in this case the intelligence community got it fundamentally right there was an imminent attack there was active plotting is that right now gone with sort of my god threats are never going. well don't trump the solution to to call it a runs top general in a coal strike has been widely condemned in the u.s. several rallies were held over the past week across the country calling for an end to overseas military aggression the pullout from iraq although some american media pundits have been pushing for the us to adopt even harsher tactics against the run . up in reports there are some lucrative defense industry deals at stake too there was compelling intelligence reasons of an imminent threat to respond i trust the intelligence assessment of what's on the neo is doing the kinds of actions he was preparing for i take it at face value what he is saying and secretary pompei oh this was a preamp to defense of measure now these are supposed to be just random smart

people who are going to help us understand the situation except they aren't a lot of them have a particular financial interest in a specific outcome essentially they're tied to corporations that make profits from war the usa and iran go head to head they'll get a pretty nice payout and the viewers are kept in the dark about these ties the world is on edge since the u.s. to county raney entire restocking tents and codes force command a custom surname on the phone in the december 31st attack on the us embassy in iraq since $979.00 iran has bullied threatened and killed and spread its reign of terror the president has made the right decisions on iran to this point including scrapping the iranian nuclear deal then the hip junior works for a lobbying firm american defense incorporated that represents military contractors and who are one of the sponsors of his lobbying efforts none other than the manufacturers of the drone that killed solomonic so are we really shocked he's not singing kumbaya on urging restraint check out this guy they crossed

a red line with this president when he when he exercised enormous going to story. not taken a provocation but don't kill americans. and when they did he he acted and acted very strongly jack keane is represented as just a retired general giving his 2 cents but actually sent his retirement from the pentagon he's been working with military contracting companies like general dynamics and now he runs a venture capital firm that specializes in defense and security not exactly mr objective general saw money he was a lawful military objectives and the president had ample domestic legal authority to take him out without an additional congressional authorization jed johnson was in the department of homeland security under barack obama but now he's in the private sector working for lockheed martin that's the company that makes the war planes that are stationed across the middle east and who can forget david petraeus

that's the military commander turned cia director who had an affair and leaked classified information to his mistress now you would think he wouldn't be credible after all this is what happened when he tried to teach classes at city college in new york. i mean if you don't know what it is going to break. you go but petraeus is back selling war on prime time it's impossible to overstate the significance of the attack that takes us and soleimani this is bigger than bin ladin that's bigger than bud donahue the overwhelming majority of the american people believe that the invasion of iraq in 2003 was a big mistake so it's worth pointing out that these same people were on t.v. in 2003 selling the invasion of iraq are now on t.v. pushing a new war against iraq the exact same people it is important to understand the consequences of pulling out of iraq before our work is done in victory is achieved

abandoning our iraqi friends would signal the world that america cannot be trusted to keep its word so low money was the highest ranking official in the codes. force he has the blood of many american soldiers on his hands the us public has voted for presidential candidates who promised less involvement overseas over and over again but the mainstream media seems to be working pretty hard to convince them otherwise and it's giving special attention to certain individuals who have certain shady financial ties and it's not disclosing those ties to the viewers and many of the pundits the analysts that we see in us media are people who are either on the boards of military corporations or they're lobbyist for the military industry and they have an economic incentive unfortunately when it comes to war

and this is not disclosed when we hear them talking about how good trump is doing in killing the general of another country and inciting a new war we have to admit that there is a strong military industrial complex in the united states and that the news media itself benefits from war. to know the headlines stories protests against pension reform in front of curried over into the new year on sunday rallies in paris another city so far as ins are in force including the yellow best movement in the capital things turned violent with police resorting to tear gas.

so i. tell you. let's take a look at another time this is a riot police used water callan to push back and with almost 3000 people took part in rallies there are in fact union say some half a 1000000 people demonstrated in total across france. but i had. the reasons behind the controversy this will tell you more about.

financial survival. housing bubble. oh you mean there's a downside to artificially low mortgage rates don't get carried away that's cause report.

the president of accounts yet a partially recognized republican in the caucus has said that he is stepping down after a wave of opposition protests demanding his resignation we're all hugs him but was reelected as head of state in september but critics. of thursday's demonstrators stormed a presidential residence doors and windows the parliament then also called on the president to step down it is not clear at this stage. successor will be. ok and some not so great news now the death toll in a stream has risen to 28 people we are hearing as the most ferocious wildfires in

decades affect the southeast of the country many people have been forced to abandon their homes 1000000000 animals are feared dead there's been brief respite from the record breaking heat wave but authorities say a lie of the homes are still under threat on war whether it's expect. a few feel on the easy your online photos could be viewed by others then a partly your right to. reveal that skeletons pictures it's

a stick clumped on child sex abuse. we are utilizing subject only to help screen for child sexual abuse material well the tech giant was forced into making the admission after its updated privacy policy contained a line saying the corporation may coalesce act information regarding customer activities those activities include monitoring everything from my clyde to i tunes on beyond the company it may also scan on users all bloated days or for illegal content when we put the issue up for debates with political commentator chuck moore privacy act of a stroke technology expert bill new. course everyone is for stopping child abuse and that's not the issue here it's that i simply i'm not buying it at the company i don't believe that apple really cares about fighting crime they just entered the live streaming business where people may be concerns that apple is rifling through

all of the photos and all of that data this isn't actually the case the type of technology that we're looking at here simply is used to take a fingerprint of a particular image once an image is known to include some child abuse imagery apple is not clear about that apple says illegal pot possible potentially illegal activity including child porn what does that mean that's terrifying language you wouldn't simply have the processing power and the computing overhead to be able to . scan full photos against each other in an in the kind of way that people imagine this is possibly the best use of the current available technology in order to crack down the posting of a serious child abuse images i but i'd love to know how successful is all of this technology if you look up cases that photo d.n.a. has been used to catch people distributing kiddie porn there was one this year there was one in 2015 there's one in 2014 i mean there are hundreds of thousands if

not millions of these images out there these taking any technique for use with the question where they offload it's a really violent video once they had that video they managed to prevent people real plugging that video over a 1000000 times it has been used effectively with violence with pornography and many many images of me prevent it and is the best way of doing it i don't trust these companies i just think it's ever encroaching more and more into our privacy into owning our data into finding out even more information about us i think it's scary and i don't think that apples to be in the business of law enforcement. here's a question what mix across all the french bickers confederation is trying to answer just by declaring war on fake versions of the breakfast history favorite r t charlotte dubin ski well she got the taste. look in any french bakery and the

one thing you are guaranteed to find unless of course they've sold out is a croissant it is the archetype will breakfast pastry eaten on its own or lavished with a bit of conflict sure that's me but with it's typical for it is unmistakable except is this a real quest well it is of course a real crossover because it's edible but it is rather where this quest all was all wasn't made that stirring up quite a fuss with the bakers confederation in france that are now declaring a war on fake. 30 years ago when you entered a bakery you never wondered if it was homemade bakeries often display a sign saying our tis no now this should mean that the pastries the braids and the cakes that are sold they're all made on site by a trained now within the profession there are rumors that that might not actually

be the case sakho blur indeed with indications that some 80 percent of pastry sold actually made in a factory it has become the can through our profession where is the sense of pride when you don't do anything you so you become an iron monger with a big breakers complain that they just can't find a staff to make the croissants while others have found using industrial produce pastries lowers the cost and maximizes the profits but as with anything the proof of the pudding or the course or in this case is always in the eating. quest so see what makes a dude. sound a good cross on to soft and has a buttery taste and prison so i haven't eaten cross on since i was young i know but across one of the well starts with a frost is crossed in golden just like yours. and question on must have a crust and it should crumble

a little it mustn't be industry leading and. song. and smells like my son's tess's busiek's announces that. sounds and i'm close and it looks like a good cause it's elegant on the outside it shines a b. there and it doesn't look too fatty i would say that this one is better and smoother than the other. you want me to taste it no it's disgusting it's all white so there you have it these parisians us certain that they know a quality queso when they taste it now the french may have a proud tradition when it comes to this little lady lepanto but the truth of the matter is it may not even be french it is rather said to have originated in austria so put that on you and eat it. r.t.

paris percy is getting serious about breakfast while love is our law firm no but we'll be keeping the review of the week thing going the top of the hour show on any and all developing news as well season. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to from day shouldn't let it be an arms race based on off and spearing dramatic to follow only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. shows seem wrong why don't we all just don't call. me old yet to say power just becomes active. and engaged equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. and we're going to fulfill the repeated promises oh probably to the people and promise to be you know we've all but the to. be. pretty. pretty there bertha now you want to 1st. know.

paul 5 being cut. welcome to front running 2020 as we head to the elections are looking at the key issues democrats how they handling them look at

a little bit on the economics today stacey it's all about 3 magic words green new deal yes and they were proposed by oh see alexandra cortez who i guess was basing her thing on f d r franklin delano roosevelt and his new deal so the green new deal is supposed to be a jobs program and a climate change still we have with us james howard kunstler and randy volar jim now tell us what you think of a green new deal is it a great jobs program is it a bad jobs program is it a good reason to have a deal it's when you wish upon the star program because you know we've entered a kind of period in our history which is a era of wishful thinking and i think the truth of the matter is unfortunately we're not going to run while disney world the u.s. military suburbia the interstate highway system. and our great metroplex

cities on any combination of all fuels and all to energy and i'm afraid it's going to come as a is a big disappointment to the american public the main reason for that is you really can't fabricates. the equipment for all these things and service them and maintain them without an underlying fossil fuel economy platform for that to happen under and unfortunately this is the country has not figured that out including a lot of pretty intelligent people and people with good intentions you know we'd love to keep running our stuff the way we're running it now by other means it's just really unlikely to happen now this combines 2 things that are really.
