no but. the city well. it was in the sleep. of the u.n. security council the west continues to defend the chemical weapons report on syria's dreamer and say that in 2018 despite the watchdog's own former inspector put it contradictory. the findings in the form of the all. contradictory what were her words were. the governments to. the chasm between rich and poor grows the still that sounds the globe's wealthiest most powerful gather for the 50th world economic forum in the swiss alps. also this hour as the u.s. secretary of state meets venezuelan proposition. american farms get rejected not the wave on the sanctions that hit everyone else but.

bringing you up to speed on the biggest events from around the world this is our international thanks for joining us all this changed. and that start with one of the biggest of out of the stories that's the fact that the u.n. security council has debated the investigation by the walls chemical weapons watchdog into an incident in the syrian city of doom up in 2080 in russia has questions the published findings which has triggered a backlash from western countries during the session a former specialist said the fact finding team had serious misgivings a chemical attack even. the report makes clear what new. findings perp's information doctor or nurse s. you know sort of testimony. is. has.

this fixed is. resulted in a complex turnaround situation from workers. where you are here over to you. do you let us be in no down there was this chemical weapons attack in june we have in 2 huge 15 witnesses in the duma hospital the only witnesses and undisputable proof that the chemical attack in dumont was falsified and estates caterpillar categorically objects to russia's blatant attempt to use the security council meeting to weaken the credibility of the o.p.c. w. and its findings on the duma attacked no one has just named the guilty even without presenting any evidence and enjoy the support of a little someone's who you really cannot have wolf in unison since you published

its report the organizations own inspectors have waste concerns the probe misrepresent the facts and example the initial assessment suggested poor instead of just one minute be placed at the scene which ultimately contradicts the published version makes also claim the team that went to duma was not ultimately included in the group putting together the report caleb moore penn breaks it all down for us. the united nations convened a meeting in which the results of the o.p.c. w.'s investigation into the alleged chemical attack in the syrian syrian city of duma in 2018 was discussed now that report from the oas o.p.c. w has come into question after information was revealed leaks cited that crucial evidence was essentially left out of that final report and that crucial evidence that was left out could have pointed toward the attack being staged in henderson

who was a weapons inspector he participated with the o.p.c. w in their fact finding mission in duma he doesn't agree with that he says that he pretty much based on the evidence has concluded that the canisters were placed manually they were not dropped from an airplane this is what in henderson said to the un meeting speaking through video link this is what he in henderson said the findings. were contradictory. with what the 2 understood. to. really use of the interim report. 2000 and. 2 was that serious misgivings that a chemical attack. now in henderson is himself an expert on chemical

weapons and the forensic investigations into them furthermore he actually participated in the official o.p.c. w. investigation but regardless that did not stop certain voices from trying to cast doubt on what he said to the u.n. meeting take a listen mr henderson's paper is a pitch reflex a person and. of course there. bound to be robust exchanges of views with voices differing from others in any scientific process but what counts is the final considered assessment now the syrian government has been absolutely adamant and clear it had nothing to do with the chemical incident some countries. led by the united states of america. continue to exceed the provisions of the convention on the point of chemical weapons by politicizing the war of the o.p.c.

w. and to trying to the. from the track it was created for that was the chemical incident let's recall in 28 chemical incident in which the western countries the united states and france they used that as an opportunity to unleash 100 missiles against the syrian government there. and we've had wiki leaks publish a number of of leaks and information e-mails showing that there just was not unanimous agreement within the o.p.c. w.

about who was responsible for the attack based on that this report from the o.p.c. w. has been widely questioned allies of the united states seem to insist that the syrian government is responsible and the o.p.c. w. report is conclusive and shouldn't be question so once again we have debate over the chemical incident i think that the americans are going to continue to disappear from view of it is clearly what they don't want to uphold their mirrored in effect what we have is a final report and then also one of these whistleblowers who are made up of the actual scientists and the americans are saying we'd like to report let's just move on and the russians are saying wait a minute let's listen to the national scientists because it sounds like this science didn't actually go into the final core but so obviously the russians and americans can sell you their big stand with the o.p.c. don't your friends on whether you're talking about the report or the scientists who

are pushing against it saying that it doesn't actually represent the 5. we spoke with now freelance journalist to wreak a dad who was previously barred by newsweek from reporting the story on the leaks he had she quit in protest after the magazine's management guy tim had told us there is now no reporting on the issue at all in western media. this is not something is going to go away it's very serious so. you know we've seen absolutely no reporting about this in the western media if we have. intelligence officials from the united states that can influence the reports of this body it opens the doors to many more situations where you know genuine chemical weapons attacks might not be treated in the same way because the reputation of the body is not taken seriously i think we've already started to see the kind of counter propaganda from the united states already kind of trying to change the narrative of the c.w.

must keep bashar assad in check and hold his government to account for chemical weapons attacks but it's not it's completely counter what what the information that we have a president. the world $22.00 richest man have more wealth than all the women in africa combined that's according to a new report by out sam it comes out celebrations are underway for the 50th anniversary of the annual gathering of the rich and powerful at the world economic forum in davos and amid these rising rifts between the rich and poor confidence in capitalism is apparently fading all around the globe as john mcwhorter explains. how many billionaires does it take to change the light bulb of the world economy $119.00 apparently that's how many will be converging on the world economic forum in davos this year but some people showed up early to their ivory tower.

every year davos hosts billionaires bankers and politicians of the ruling class to talk about issues of global importance and how they want to shape the future and every year it's the same old story the economic forum is celebrating its 50th anniversary some things have changed many things haven't changed all that much a tool except the situation is only getting worse as elite forums like davos fail to provide any serious solutions a recent oxfam report revealed just how widely vast the fish are between rich and poor has become it says the top one percent has as much wealth as the poorest wait for it 6900000000 people that means if you had saved 10 $1000.00 and that's a lot every day since the egypt pyramids were built 4500 years ago you would have

just a fraction of the wealth of any of the world's top billionaires still can't comprehend how much money that is let's try to visualize it if everyone sat on their total wealth made up of $100.00 bills the majority would be sitting on the floor the middle class out about chairs height and the 2 richest men in the world they'd be way out in space this shocking economic situation isn't just a set of statistics though it was the root cause of real chaos that plagues some of the world's most unequal countries and 2019.

oxfam has proposed an additional point 5 percent tax on the ultra rich to level the playing field a bit it could be a good solution in a world where the rich actually pay their taxes $1.00 of the world's biggest companies for example amazon didn't pay a dime of u.s. corporate taxes on its $11200000000.00 worth of profits and 2018 in a system where there's different rules for the commoners and the captains of industry it's no wonder people across the globe think capitalism has done more harm than good in the past we're coming to of a point in human history in wish we are beginning to see the end of capitalism now it has produced a situation where it is both of global system but it has produced results that are simply unacceptable and you see millions and i think bill use of the americans people who run. simply stating this system doesn't

perform in the way we want but who cares right inequality has been there since the beginning of time why should you even bother while the problem is if the current levels of inequality are not solved it's just a matter of time before everything crashes don't take my word for it take the one from the international monetary fund our new research shows that inequality tends to increase the for financial crisis signaling a strong link between inequality and financial stability. if we act and act together we can avoid repeating the mistakes of the 9020s in the 2020s so as the world's elites are skiing past their luxury as resorts in the alps it feels like the rest of us are being blindly led off a cliff kinds of inequality which. is responsible for example for many deaths that did not mean that right for the poor of the world the ones that

are only able to get by are the ones who die early. and you little cost of inequality are staggering and all and every economic you know that for everybody . another headline story the u.s. secretary of state has met with one in colombia saying washington will increase its support for the man it now backs as venezuela's president might compare called for cooperation to remove the incumbent media nicholas madeira. we're here to ensure they're able to do everything we can assure that you give them an opportunity to get a chance simply to live the life that you want with democracy and freedom at the same time the u.s. has also given another 90 day extension for american oil companies to keep working with a friend as well and counterparts without fear of sanctions and extended waiver exempt 5 major of the trumpet ministration impose sanctions on caracas several times to

iran professor of latin american studies daniel schorr thinks the u.s. stance is somewhat hypocritical this shows the extremely hypocritical nature of sanctions is a selective sections. share xsara in the massive us corporations in. this state for nearly exploitation one of the country's resources whether it's well as well or all career 'd i was about we 'd going to cause the trump government will look the other way. but the sanctions it's blockade is airtight when it comes to punishing the every day 30000000 people of venezuela well the u.s. strategy is always always wallboard 'd aryan revolutionary government so they can go 'd into one as well 'd unimpeded and sherry 'd and i these are 'd some of the most massive oil reserves in the entire world 'd critics of pining for

a better us space uniform design as the pentagon fails to twig why it's all cafe all the stories in the breakdown a lot of this break. you know world a big part of the law and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the 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. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy sunday

shouldn't let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic to follow the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. welcome back and let's head to europe because italy is for my interior minister has been stripped of parliamentary immunity by the senate means he could stand trial now over his controversial decision to prevent my current rescue boats talking italian ports salvini who welcomed being taken to court claimed any trial will

ultimately prove him right. i will go to call with my head held high in the name of be italian people if they arrest me they will have to find a prison big enough for all of us they must find a big enough course this will be a trial against the italian people the investigation into south you will center around a coast guard ship carrying 131 rescue migrants which was prevented from docking in the italian port of guster in 20 teen they were eventually allowed to dock after a deal was struck with the e.u. but salvini could now face up to 15 years in jail for illegally detaining migrants see. as the leader of the league party salvini helped propel the once fringe political movement into a major political force his nationalist message and hardline tone on immigration resonated with the voters making the leak it was popular party salvini quit the government last year and is now seeking a comeback in sunday's elections for the legislative assembly power to do you also

from the party please salvini his chances of winning any case oh hi. ormal kountry where an illegal bore you are writing your codes to your goal your polly. your. hire be your a security system. have to stop the bet i walk funny count. an illegal. use it all arse again our security guard our security the whole lot and the judgement try to make a try to get me need them but i was trying to protect the board this infeed the captain of the a legal thought that was arriving. and even any normal even

in my county is the op in your own best said beany was right position to us that we are legal boss to stop but to be checked the because we want to know harass you know were found they where we bout ask what they was not the refugees. know checking the cap our an emmy award winning actor has quit his role as the voice of up to the indian cat to in the simpsons amid growing criticism from a few sail to see the funny side of the much loved cartoon. clip broadcasters go away and give you the entire book or i was just the d.l. in a range marriage would not come to pass a marge look who i brought home. or are you rounding up immigrants hank azaria had voiced the character since 1990 appear as an indian immigrant who runs a convenience store and uses the catch phrase thank you come again pressure on the

show spiked after $27000.00 documentary slamming the character as discriminatory but many are finding it hard to believe that stereotypes even in a comedy cartoon hoping oh lord now. my name is harry from the boat had a great career full of laughter critical acclaim i should be completely happy but there's still one man who haunts me the hossa people peddle. my documentary the problem with apu was not me to get rid of it dated costume character but to discuss race representation among the community which i love very much it was also about how you can love something like the simpsons and still be critical about aspects of it does this mean he's not going to voice colin e.-mu because cole is black and he is white one of them to the meeting over voice acting i loved as an indian i find this news ridiculous hank azaria did a great job all characters in the simpsons are stereotyped caricatures i don't see

the problem as i create name and as an author john has to cover art and culture he believes the criticism is all about fit then with modern political correctness. i think to bring up the criticism now it just plays into the sort of trendiness that goes along with these protests today i mean if your problem with pew is that he has these stereotypical traits there are a lot of those characters on the simpsons so they have a lot of work to do if you're saying that opposes your only problem with the simpsons and your problem is stereotypical characters it just comes across as very inauthentic if you just look at movies in general you see a lot of examples of studios seemingly panicking and making a lot of compromises to kind of feed and please this sort of faceless digital woke but the thing is we know that that really goes nowhere we've seen apologies go nowhere hollywood's in a place where they need you know they need foreign money to put a lot of movies in

a profit they need a good word of mouth on social media so right now i think they're playing from a place of fear and that's i think that's apparent in the a pew controversy and i think it's apparent in a lot of the decisions hollywood's making right now so i personally i think they're going too far and i think they're going to they're going to see the results of the box office. on finding for the donald trump may think he's got space covered with his new military force but it's what that forces coupled with that's got everyone else talking. just as we have recognized the land air sea and cyber as vital warfighting domains we will now treat space as an independent region with today's action we open another great chapter in the extraordinary history of the united states military.

greetings and sell you take. a monday january 20th the life the times and the struggles of civil rights icon dr martin luther king jr will be remembered and celebrated across the land here in the united states of america on this day you can expect your news feeds to be filled with dr king's most famous quotes google will incorporate him into their search logo and the good man's name will be on the lips of many a candidate running for higher office as they try so desperately to wrap themselves up in his message in order to court black america's folks but amidst all this hallmark style celebration of the great man one has to wonder just how sincere it actually is because remember that sincerity is found not in your words but in your actions i mean can you can you take a country celebration of dr king's dream sincerely when over 20 percent of its

black citizens are living in poverty and over 400000 are locked up in its bedroom state prisons. dr king once said the final phase of our national sickness is the disease of militarism something more clearly demonstrates our nation's abuse of military power than our tragic adventure in vietnam. i ask you what side do you believe dr king would land on in the debate over the united states' continued congressionally approved military adventures and aggressive posturing in places like afghanistan iraq iraq or africa dr king also observed that a nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death in 2020 the united states will spend over 730000000000 taxpayer dollars on its weapons of war thanks to the democrat and republican approved national defense authorization act.
