in the us the democratic party caucus is plagued by technical difficulties but in unanimity. nothing to do with the results of the 1st contest of the 2020 primary season are expected. to program the arrest of an alleged war criminal who lived in hungary. apart and flaws in the. terrorists into europe. on this britain. carbon neutral future we look at who will be footing the bill. if you show.

people just. 247 news live from moscow this is r t international my names you know hello and welcome to the program. the us democratic party has suffered an embarrassing. the result of the 1st major vote in the 2020 primary season has been delayed due to a crippling technical glitch are not expected to be announced until choose the evening a full 24 hours later well donald trump was quick to comment on the turmoil at the iowa caucus taking to twitter as you can see his saying on the democrats' apparent ineptitude meanwhile in the absence of any official results to the party's presidential hopefuls decided to claim victory for themselves. so we don't hear

results. by all indications we are going to new hampshire victoria. due to the failure of the iowa democratic party to release results tonight and in the interest of full transparency bernie sanders a senior advisor jeff weaver is releasing results from nearly 40 percent of precincts in i want results have been delayed so they'll be coming but they'll be coming later nevertheless this is this is a huge embarrassment for the democratic party this this is an awful start to the to the nomination process because iowa is statistically of paper it's insignificant i mean out of the 2000 almost 2000 delegates required to be nominated as the presidential candidate for the democratic party only has fought so you know it's it's a tiny amount the population is small it is very representative but. it is the 1st

primary it is the 1st cry it sets the tone sets the atmosphere if you win it it gives you a huge amount of momentum going forward because it's an example it's a people see that you're winning in a jump on board and for this to happen now apparently because of a technical glitch ease awful we found inconsistences in the reports in a free says of results in addition to the tech system has been used to tabulate results where oh so using 4 to suffer results and a paper trail to validate that all results match and then sure that you have confidence and accuracy in the numbers will report fortunately no one's come out and blame the russians yet but you know did eventually down the line will there be a fall guy who will think you know i can just play in the russians and nobody's going to prove you disprove but the point the point of this app at the center of this at the center of this mess the point of this app was to safeguard the primary

the election to safeguard. from russian meddling from foreign interference from hackers they drew tens of millions of dollars and to developing these apps and to develop the developing technology to protect themselves and what you have at the end of the day at the end of the day it all goes pear shaped the entire system is an embarrassment nothing's ready. there's also a scandal brewing on live cause a lot of people a lot of the candidates are very angry that this happened especially those that were projected to win but pete booted judge one of the one of the candidates he apparently. funded cofounded may do nations to the developers of this application is conspiracy theories brewing among people that don't support him saying that you know how convenient he was spared the embarrassment straightaway of coming in 3rd or 4th in this poll have because because obviously that would be awful for any

candidate nevertheless this is this is a good method this is this is awful for the entire democratic party this is. the worst part about it is that all the supporters of all the various candidates and now angry not only at the democrats but at each other they're blaming you know candidates they're saying if you would have come in 3rd you would have come in 4th others are claiming victory with nothing to do with nothing to back it up. very ironic because this is exactly the sort of behavior that the cues to russia of committing that breaking news russian hackers try to hack wisconsin's election system russia's hacked into a lot of things russian hackers the kremlin clan it certainly looks like they're in it again and with an eye towards openness president it's ironic isn't it that democrat paranoia about russia what caused them to develop these apps to safeguard themselves with technological files or what have you eventually that and there are

. incompetence was their downfall because russian hackers of never managed to stop an election to delay the results of a primary but an election in the united states. let's delve further into this with richard goodstein richard is a political consultant and a former advisor to the hillary clinton presidential campaign you're welcome to the program richard not a great night for your lot was it thank you. you know i will i will put this is not just a spin this is why i actually think it wasn't such a bad outcome. iowa had no business being the 1st state to kind of act as some sort of sieves that candidates had to move through for 2 reasons one caucuses are entirely undemocratic unless you could take off from work and be there in person for some period of time which a lot of people cannot do. you couldn't vote secondly iowa is very

white it's democratic voters are very liberal and very young and frankly most voters in most states don't have those traits so for i what i mean i think there's a consensus this morning that this will probably be the last time that iowa caucuses act as the 1st in the nation process for trying to winnow out candidates so is an embarrassment it is for the i would democratic party but honestly this time next week we'll be having the new hampshire primary an actual primary were people go into a private voting booth don't have to stand in the corner of a gymnasium and cast their ballot ok we won't be talking about iowa anymore but right now iowa is pretty important because you start to get the momentum don't you as you say going into new hampshire and those other areas but right now confusion suspicion reigns in the state how does all this do you think going to affect the

race for the nomination. well obviously whoever gets announced as having one more people who showed up more delegates or whatnot is is kind of denied the great victory speech. but i will say this if some of these early the entrance polls as we call it are accurate it appears that the moderate wing of the democratic party booted says biden. obiter and others had at least as much if not more support than the combination of sanders and warren so this sense that somehow you know socialists were taking over the democratic party i think will prove to be unfounded they were getting nowhere they should like bernie sanders was riding high in the polls he particularly seems let me just go through this he seems of being gotten a raw deal after they did more in register pulled that news paper was shelved the

deer earlier in which he was shown as joint leader with joe biden surely there's only going to be mistrust of any real results neither. well i don't know that there's going to be mistrust of results in primaries again i think caucuses are in an entirely undemocratic process look nationally joe biden is ahead of sanders in the biggest states joe biden in texas and florida and other states as comfortably ahead he said look bernie sanders has has while out in the delusion that he was rigged that something happened to him in 2016 he lost by 4000000 votes to hillary clinton the only reason he got even slightly close is because he did very well in these undemocratic caucuses and primary states he got clobbered so i understand if you lose you have to blame it on somebody and bernie sanders will blame it on a rigged system or who knows what but to get a 2016 he lost handily we'll see what happens from this point paula are cracks

starting to appear in the democratic party's united front against donald trump do you think richard he loved how the night unfolded didn't any. oh i'm sure what's amazing though is you know the economy in the u.s. the u.s. is doing pretty well and yet fox news not exactly a friend of joe biden in their last poll had joe biden beating donald trump 50 to 41 by 9 points. so are there cracks i mean look donald trump is going to seize upon everything he's going to seize upon your name he's going to seize upon your gender he's going to seize upon your sexual orientation he's going to find something where he thinks he has an edge in this cave or goes right it wasn't because the world was watching american police was watching i what happened was donald trump has every reason to ridicule what happened there. and again that's true he can say if you will make all sorts of accusations about

the democratic party this was the democratic party of one rather small state iowa we will get to a state next week new hampshire also a small state that we get to increasingly larger states and then the biggest ones california texas ultimately new york so look he's going to pick up on anything but right now notwithstanding the fact that the economy's doing fairly well he's his opinion his ratings are just not as high as you would think they would be given the strength of the u.s. economy and i think it's a judgment that people have made that for all the strength of the economy he's not the person they want. in the white house for the next 4 years but that could change his his poll numbers i will concede have ticked up a little bit over the past few weeks whether that keeps going we'll see you're seeing bernie sanders will not have the support nationwide particularly if that is the case if he fails to get the nomination who do you think his you know it looks like an army of use behind him who do they get behind in

a vote because it does seem there's a certain establishment do not want him to move forward if he if he does not and you've got this great sway the voters not knowing where to put their vote how would you 1st see them going. is your question where were the bernie sanders voters go if they don't bernie sanders is not the nominee your question yeah well we saw what happened in 2016 a lot of them didn't vote a lot of them voted for jill stein. a lot of vote voted for the the libertarian gary johnson some of them held their nose and voted for hillary clinton although sanders had had a bad mouth her all the way through the convention in 2016 what will happen this time around i think that's a big open question it's a reason frankly that the other democratic candidates today. they don't expose bernie sanders for being an unreconstructed socialist which the united states is

not a popular position to talk about nationalizing as he has telecommunications and banks and railroads and you name it that's generally not a popular position in a capitalist democracy ok so but will his supporters be so offended if he doesn't get the nomination that they'll sit on their hands or will they vote for whoever the democratic nominee is because they don't like trump i think that's an open question he's a moment a lot of support of the less rich a good staying democratic political consultant not a former advisor to the hillary clinton presidential campaign thank you very much for your time. ok let's turn attention to europe and to france where a former spokesperson for a syrian armed group has been arrested on charges of war crimes and torture they lived in hungry for several months before being granted a student scholarship and more say the authorities were only tipped off after a human rights group pointed out his real identity charlotte toobin ski's been

looking at the loophole that allowed him into the. torture kidnapping war crimes these are just some of the charges brought against a syrian using on a student visa he went by the name of mushed enough may in france back in syria he was is a lowish no ordinary stews and t. is said to have once been jayashri islamic press secretary previously nor did his freedom fighters the hardline islamist group in fact curried out a reign of terror in the eastern ghouta suburb of damascus. when you look. in his linked in profile he describes himself

as being specialized in security and terrorism affairs with a focus on syria he boasts of an impressive academic background with bunches degrees but not one but diverse cities including in hungary and when it comes to experience he mentions being the c.e.o. of the syrian news monitoring network may trace of the allegations of torture or forced in this moment of children raising his history seems an apt given that all islam ceased to exist back in 2018.

as the battle for eastern goo to played out the french government said it was concerned about a grave violation of human rights and it called for a cease fire now while it acknowledge the presence of just harvests it also accused president assad of using the ongoing conflict as a fig leaf to wipe out any opposition. the syrian regime and its allies are brandishing the fight against jihad his fighters the need for which no one is disputing as just if occasion of an offensive and as entirely different goals it's real intentions are indeed to annihilate any normal position and break the morale of civilians by indiscriminately massacring them following that offensive in eastern guta by the syrian army generational islam was talked balt last year a complaint was filed to the courts in france and josh and the senior members and no wanted as it was criminals the complaint filed in june 29th teen was built on

over 3 years of documentation of the crimes perpetrated by jaish al islam summary executions kidnappings and the systematic use of torture the group targeted people suspected of complicity with the regime but also ordinary civilians accused of not applying the shari'a posed by the group rigorously enough the international federation of human rights says the arrest of most enough where in mass a paves the way for the 1st investigation of the rebel groups crimes others may be hoping that arrests such as this will help shed more light on crimes committed by opposition forces during the syrian conflict giving a fuller picture of what really happened on the ground. paris. well political analyst at nickel america which believes there will be fear or unless the government handles that situation properly. and once you enter the

european union you could go more or less where you want there are no border controls how we entered hungary would be an interesting question to know that what is. prosperous and this in this situation is that he entered legally he wasn't even hiding he was living in the white which is a neighborhood in the center smack in the center of more state you could continue studying in france with no problem whatsoever that means the police cannot do their job properly today in western europe they don't even know who's in the country and we've gotten so low as to say that we don't even we don't even know if you got the means to stop terrorists and we don't even know if terrorists are in the country we know there are some but we don't know how many and it's you know it's already difficult capturing those who are not even in hiding so i think definitely this is going to hurt a bit the government because this is very bad press very bad press having a terrorist. somebody accused of terrorism entering legally come from the country going with legal it's a university this is very bad press so there might be some who's in the following days but i think unfortunately if the government doesn't handle the process of

immigration legal immigration early in the go the immigration and the secret service if the government doesn't tackle these issues seriously unfortunately this these types of stories are going to continue in time up next we take a look at britain's pretty progressive plans to go green by 2050 that story and more in moments. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the dares thinks. we dare to ask.

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 smart we need to stop slamming the door on the back 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. in britain is rolling out the green carpets with the country's energy regulator unveiling plans to scrap gas heating and the sale of all petrol and diesel cars by 2035 that's in the hopes of having

a net 0 emission target 15 years after that but there are worries it will hit the most vulnerable in the pocket every heist in the country is set to pay more to start a shoddy edwards dusty explains that is not the only concern. well this is it the moment we've all been waiting for the beginning of the end of carbon emissions as the u.k. could be on the path to net there are a monday the u.k.'s office for gas and electricity markets or presented its new action which is aimed at transforming the country's infrastructure to make it more eco friendly britain has come a long way it is decarbonise faster than any other major economy but we must go further particularly on heat and transport we are taking an approach that recognizes that our role protecting consumers includes a cheering net 0. it is now vital that the energy industry rises to the challenge and demonstrates how it will work with the government and off jam to decarbonise britain's energy system at lowest cost well it's

a $9.00 point plan and if you don't drive electric car yet you may be in trouble as under the scheme 10000000 petrol diesel cars will be replaced with the greenham appeals and for the time being you better keep your winter jackets on because gas central heating is to be ripped from every single home well the plan also wants to shift towards renewable sources of energy like solar and wind which is great news for g.b. then with all the rain so how much will this cost well as digraphs i would put it you can't put a price on saving the globe can you and also doesn't have a direct answer either recognizes that there are tradeoffs to overcome such a scale is spreading the cost of a low carbon energy system between today's and tomorrow's consumers when apparently this $9.00 point plan is all down to you so it could all go up in smoke when you have how much it can set you back well the rollout alone of electrical vehicles could be $2000000000.00 pounds a year which is the equivalent to 30 pounds on every household bill.

chandler if you please do so and i spend. so much but. it is going to be good for the planet if we do have to pay a bit more money than i live pretty close to in the freezing cold. so that's my. baby a little bit to not double. providing it's not done and i want to buy seats with people just paying money out. there so that i mean well jim could cause an uncomfortable atmosphere as it has a history of hiking prices for consumers for its own good just a few days ago the national audit office revealed that electric bills were unnecessarily high fee yiss setting the public back 100000000. pounds annually but if it's all spread out equally for the good of the planet then 1st fair right well the royals wouldn't get the warmest reception on this one when prince charles hopped on his private helicopter producing c

o 2 emissions to get to climate change conferences in order for him to undertake as many engagements as he does across the u.k. and around the world he sometimes has to fly as he has often said assume is there is a more sustainable way of making these journeys he would be the 1st to use it so as to use it or a $1001.00 is hard to believe when buckingham palace top the list for the most environmentally damaging buildings in london all about the time when her majesty used the state's poverty fund to heat a humble abode i don't think robin hood would approve of the time being there are many proper 5 alternatives out there to flying around we think is nearly everybody . can stop him too you sort of get that he's a boy and he needs to be. high security. doesn't make sense but when it comes to the climate it seems like the ordinary britain should brace themselves to be ready for the additional financial sacrifice everything is on the altar of a carbon free future. around deepend the new rich

over the opening of a new swiss payment mechanism not in a good way the trouble was set up to a large life saving aid to be sent to the islamic republic while eradicating any risk of falling foul of american sanctions however tehran believes america still depriving its of a central food and medical supplies by constantly imposing penalties this channel fall short of implementing the international court of justice order which ruled that the united states does not have the right to block the entry of food and medicine into iran this is not a sign of america's good intentions it is not even a sign that the united states has taken the smallest step in the direction of fulfilling its commitments with a newly established humanitarian channel for food and medicine has already. started shipping cancer organ transplant drugs they united states sees that china will come under strict scrutiny to ensure tiran is not mis using it although iran

produces much of its own basic medicine that vance treatment is generally imported but as the ride between washington and tehran deepens vital medicine is getting harder to source in 2018 alone 56000 patients died of cancer in the islamic republic in just one year period between 2018 and 19 the cost of medical services rose by almost a 5th however washington still sees its sanctions are not hurting the industry since medicine does not fall under this actions i want to talk directly to the iranian people to dispel myths about u.s. sanctions that continue to be promoted by the iranian regime myth number one the united states sanctions medical supplies going to the iranian people the truth is that the united states exempts medicine and medical devices for the iranian people but earlier we spoke to a professor from tehran university who explained why around this still experiencing

medical shortages the spite the sector being exempt from u.s. penalties. the americans are saying that they have not sanction humanitarian goods such as medicine and food but in reality because iran is not able to do financial transaction and also because of the fact that the rein in transportation is under sanction essentially it is very difficult to import and export any goods and it doesn't matter whether this is medicine or food or any other material for that matter also it has had a very real effect on iran now iran actually imports over $4000000000.00 of medicine and medical goods every year and what this happened through the so-called su is china will is only $2500000.00 so it is essentially peanuts considering what iran and its iran is a country of 80000000 what do you want really needs is is much much bigger than
