every year tuning in from across the world this hour welcome to our team international my name's union the pleasure of your company. we begin with some breaking news from turkey 52 people have been injured after a passenger plane overshot the runway while. airport this and so these are live pictures right now just after 8 o'clock local time where emergency services are at the scene we've also been looking earlier at video social media which really showed the extensive damage as you can see even clearer just cut in to some say pieces and real damage no fatalities in the boeing 770 burst into flames during the accident the turkish minutes.

transports. 77 people on board being evacuated the plane belonged to pegasus. was arriving from the city is a mere it's not at this stage clear exactly what caused the incident all of the reports suggest that stormy weather may have played a role. port has been temporarily closed 2 flights which are being directed to istanbul airport so that is the scene at the moment emergency workers continuing to work plane but no fatalities any and all updates on the injured if there are any serious injuries we will of course bring it to. ok the democratic party revealed early results from its key caucus vote almost 24 hours later expected with 71 percent of results now reported.

a slight lead with 27 percent of the vote it's the beginning of the race to see who will run in the 2020 u.s. presidential election against donald trump but the party has been left reeling from glitches in its new mobile which is meant to deliver results of a nightmare scenario and if so what do you do about it these are probably the most prepared we've ever been as a party for these carcasses and we've run through a few different scenarios but i can tell you we're ready. i'd settle for a race and at the end the prize is becoming the presidential nominee and that the finish line. to find out who won. as precinct caucus results started coming in the iowa democratic party ran them through an accuracy and quality check it became clear that they were in consistencies with reports the underlying cause of these in consistencies was not immediately clear

and required investigation which took time this is an embarrassment all they had to do was count the votes the polling stations counted the votes all they had to do was add together the tallies what a 10 year old could do in a calculator the democratic party couldn't this mess was caused by a new app designed to speed up vote counting made by a secretive company called shadow inc that i suppose was the 1st clue the party is saying on one hand we had inconsistences with the data then they say oh but the data is fine and it wasn't a problem with the app so that won't what was a problem with because we also know this and take the app aside and say ok the absa failure didn't work you had precinct chairs who were calling back to the democratic headquarters last night some of them on the phone for 2 hours on hold waiting to call in and say one of these guys only had 6 people at his caucus site that is not

enough to get 6 votes and one caucus votes over to the headquarters and he's on hold for 2 hours and can't get anybody who contracts a company called shadow to build an open transparent voting app democrats the people who shouted loudest about russia threatening american elections that breaking news russian hackers tried 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 at it again and with an eye towards helping this president to combat strums popularity democrats created 2 organizations acronym and paquin him to flood the internet and t.v. with. anti trump and anti russian propaganda trump spent $10000000.00 on a commercial for tonight's super bowl we fixed it for him under president truman miracle to speak our veterans sitting isis prisoners losing down there

a conflict ladies and gentlemen the worst is yet. here comes the incompetence part these groups a packed with people who ran and sank hillary clinton's campaign including shadow inc founded by a former clinton campaign manager they've spend fortunes and amateur propaganda and apps that don't work all that. money the effort is just to see trump have the last laugh. when will a democrat stop blaming russia russia russia instead of their own incompetence for the voting disaster that just happened in the great state of iowa it's sad. all the complaining and moaning about how russians were out to ruin american elections most of the russians that did it it was the democrats their paranoia and competence they turned liberals and democrats against each other screaming and shouting accusing

each other of foul play of russia could never do the democrats did we've heard the people who are responsible for this catastrophe in iowa the democratic establishment claim that it was russia's intention to undermine integrity in our voting systems in our election process the question is who really threatens us elections and now i think a lot of voters within the democratic party finally seeing what the real threat is and it's with it's within the heart of the democratic party establishment the more that we talk about the reality of our election systems the more this russia gate hysteria just begins to fall on deaf ears and voters particularly younger voters who are social media savvy reject it angrily. well as we wait for

the rest of the results to come in from the iowa caucus and a close to everything there are to double quarter has been looking at the race moving forward edging by how the iowa caucus has been held this far it looks like one big mess of the electoral system really it's been over a day since the initial results of the votes were supposed to be made public and only 71 percent of them have even been counted nobody knows when they'll finish this process but so far pete booted judge has a slight lead over bernie sanders who's actually right now in new hampshire preparing for next week's primary there and the polls are already suggesting that he will win by a landslide over there now less than 100 percent of the votes were counted but both candidates seem to have had 100 percent confidence in their electoral victory in iowa by all indications we are going into new hampshire victorious. i have a good feeling we're going to be doing very very well here. it seems like they

jumped the gun a bit and even more strange is that the 1st election results were actually announced even earlier when only 62 percent of the votes were counted why at that specific moment it's anyone's guess but on social media people found it pretty strange and a lot of people had a field day with these very early declarations just finished 62 percent of titanic and rosen checks future seems to really bright just 62 percent of the 986 world series and clearly the red sox won the whole thing that you just finished 62 percent of the drugs back in the wild that played to guys. so said he. rest in peace. i'm 62 percent of the way through war and peace and man this napoleon character is unbeatable now after those 62 percent of votes were counted it became quite clear that had won the majority of the electoral votes but on the other hand bernie sanders had actually won more of the popular vote which is

a strange aspect of the american electoral system where it's possible where a less popular candidate can actually win the election so as these votes continue to be counted we'll keep our viewers updated of course on the latest developments in the iowa caucus. democrats were busy wondering where it all went wrong in iowa donald trump was giving his 3rd state of the union speech his own private battle with the democratic speaker nancy pelosi 1st broke with tradition by introducing the president without using the words on our own privilege mr trump in turn refused to shake pelosi then ripped up trump speech right behind obama was shaking her head the american leader though seem to where any of that was something. the state of our union is stronger then ever before i was. the world would not now be witnessing this great economic success

was the united states has become the number one producer of oil and natural gas anywhere in the world was. companies are not believing they are coming back to the usa i i keep my promises we did our job to eat. the republicans have been reacting to nancy pelosi shredding tactics saying she ripped up a tribute to american heroes including a 100 year old veteran u.s. senator lindsey graham added that her actions will diminish the good work done by the white house. i. appreciate nancy pelosi as speaker of the house nightmare what she's accomplished but tearing the speech. is not going to tear the accomplishments of this president i think is well on its way to being real

a new low for mensa palosi the speech was about american heroes some american workers say decided that was worth would true tearing apart absolutely disgraceful . speaker pelosi just ripped up the survival of a child born at 21 weeks the morning families of rocky jones and. a service members reunion with his family that's her legacy. a sex abuse scandal in french court has seen paris prosecutors open up an investigation after a former ice skating champion broke her silence after 30 years in her recently published book sora the wall accuses her ex coach of rape the claim has triggered an odd pouring of support from the country's top. with the ball appalled but then fortunately not the surprised ones who the truth becomes chilling and isolated keys

becomes many the more mysterious omnipresent hamann of victims remain locked in a state of shame and fear how many cases could have been avoided we can no longer be silent it is time to act collectively and realize that breaking the silence also means serving sport or with the scandal growing in the wake of the claims france's sports minister has them under the resignation of the figure skating federation president picking up more on what is known shortage in school. when a minister makes a public pronouncement you probably would hope that they had checked all of the facts just like when in 2017 france's former sports minister declared that at the height of me too there wasn't a problem in her sphere the format fencing champion must now be considering for laying on who is sought after the latest explosive revelations of rape by sports coaches have emerged they've been made by france's 10 times national

skating champion sarah a bit pulled in a new book she accuses her former coach year of regularly raping her in the ninety's when she was aged between fee. 15 and 17. i was sleeping with my teddy bears and he woke me up with his torch it was a nightmare it was horrible and it's still horrible today and that's why i'm talking about it as unfortunately i'm still not well i'm taking antidepressants and i'm speaking up for all the other victims who can't speak themselves this exchange 2 year old former coach admits having sex with a skater but his version of their relationship differs though my memories of the exact circumstances differ from hers i am aware that given my duties and her age at the time these relations were in any event inappropriate it's look the 1st time questions have been raised about a year sarah a pitbull says she previously spoke out against him in the us including to the then

minister of sport john points while or more but was shut down. he called me back and he said to me listen to me yes we have a file on him but we are going to close our eyes let moore says he doesn't recall that conversation i do not question at all what she say's but i have no memory of this exchange above all if i had known these horrors that i discovered today i would never have advised. to close her eyes according to the sports newspaper to keep 2 investigations were carried out into by yeah in the early eighty's thousands including one white sports ministry now his contract as a technical advisor was terminated following the 2nd one so a bit but although it is not the only person making accusations 3 other former skaters say they too were raped by their coaches including usually by ear when they

were minors suggesting the problem was much deeper accusations which of either being denied or declined to be commented on questions are now being lost about the leadership in front. sports with the current sports minister demanding the resignation of did you get the books of french skating along with other allegations of sex abuse in other sports many are suggesting that these revelations are just the tip of the iceberg and the front has done precious little to protect its sporting hopefuls and he challenged even ski altie paris. still ahead a few an international immobile opt for a music festival in sweden draws anger online allies children as young as 3 to create an avatar with a muslim headscarf we hear why the job has become so polarized and more after this break.

join me every thursday on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. you know world of big partisan movie lot 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 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. we're told it's

a total meltdown confusion consumes iowa as officials struggle to report voting results for the boche i will caucus is the fall to make political metaphor of our times. welcome back the e.u. sharply condemn the united states the station to ease restrictions on the use of personnel one mines which would allow its military to the ploy the weapon in conflict zones around the world. this in the minds the global norm against personal minds a norm to say tens of thousands of people in the past 20 years the use of the weapons anywhere at any time and by any act remains completely unacceptable to the european union the u.s. state department say's the bomb which was imposed by the obama administration the

military out a disadvantage that's this by the fact that over $150.00 countries are signatories to 997 on the use of personnel mines the explosive devices are buried in the ground detonated pressure there are effectively 2 types of personal one mines with newer varieties possessing a self destruct function now these are the sort that they trumpet ministration ses while alive the military to purchase. well i'm happy to say we cannot bring in george block from the international campaign to ban landmines to get some expertise on this jarad your main concern about the us this it. well 1st of all let me just say that we greatly welcomed the you state mint today in the statements by the number of other states. which would include

germany belgium netherlands that have come out and spoken very clearly condemning this decision. from our perspective. let me just say that the international campaign to ban landmines. deplores the decision by the u.s. government this decision reverses its land my policy which allows for production and use of this internationally banned weapon and with that the us is effectively stepping backwards from the progress it has made in putting its policy in line with mine be entreaty provisions which ban the production the use in the transfer of land mines and which commit states to providing assistance to mine survivor so. it's really. it's deplorable from our standpoint let me just put in a last word there on that particular question as well. it's $164.00 countries we're talking about that have signed the mine treaty so most of the

countries in the world. really are onboard this treaty and we really think it's deplorable again that the united states has taken this decision now the u.s. claims about the new mines are less dangerous than the old one star it your thoughts on not is there any truth. well this i will preface that by saying that i am certainly no weapons expert that i'm the communications manager for the campaign to ban landmines having said that a couple of basic facts about these weapons that are being referred to sometimes as smart mines or as you heard in your screen or dumb mind the fact that a land mines on land and that the what makes them a limit. is that they're tricked or triggered excuse me by the victim their victim

activated. and that means that any girl boy woman man. who comes across this landmine can be killed or maimed for life just a bearing that in mind daryn should the use then of landmines be actually investigated by the u.n. should it be treated like white phosphorus for instance. well let's be clear about this that $164.00 nations have signed on to this treaty in fact these are. it is within the framework of the united nations it's an internationally banned weapon in when states use this weapon as in the case of me and more the international community stands up and says this is not ok you cannot use his weapon because it indiscriminately kill civilians and that is its inherent nature and that is why it is banned. we appreciate your time this hour thanks for giving us an

insight into this situation international campaign to. block thank you. thank you. know the old line debates over the wearing of the head joe has been rekindled in sweden for a mobile up link to a song competition allowed users of all ages to dress her on screen image with their traditional muslim head scarf for women. all to normalise islamization every normal person with or without children should be terrified and disgusted. awful the other public services and politicians not

only have neutral permissive attitude towards islam but also actively spreading it . and women in muslim countries risk their lives fighting male oppression and the libertarian veil here s b t goes out with taxpayers' money making my children believe that it's normal for little girls to cover up. didn't mid january readers of the swedish edition of magazine chose a job wearing influencer for the 2020 look of the year that quickly triggered debate on line on the 1st of february world who job day saw people across the globe . to amounts because women of all faiths are urged to cover their heads as a sign of solidarity but running parallel on social media was the house to ignore job day with women arguing the traditional head scarf is a symbol of oppression meanwhile in

a predominantly muslim egypt the country's top court has upheld a 26th on the need for stuff out cairo university ruling that the face veil can impede the communicate of atmosphere of a campus we put the issue to activist faye rockman everson a women's rights advocate the absolute developers are merely reflecting the culture that's taking place in their community i think right now what the media what magazines and you know the beauty standards are trying to do is just be more inclusive and say there is a spot for you here i do feel as though only one narrative is shown in the west when we talk about the job it's often a very positive narrative but i think that the other side also has to be addressed many many girls are forced into wearing the job without any full understanding of what it represents and the how difficult that will be to take it off there's definitely a community where this is a very real and present appearing you know issue and concern and so we have to just

allow the app designers to kind of. basically play to their audience if you will i do find a huge problem in perpetuating this idea that children as young as 3 need to wear the he job in any in any form and i would also like to say that he is not a culture it is very much a religious symbol see when i myself see a little brown skinned girl on a t.v. commercial as a little girl i believe i can grow up to be that person so what we don't want to do is not show women and have jobs because we don't want to give little girls who wear what jobs to feel until they can't be a part of this larger story that we all are part of i think that women should be able to choose what they wear and that is exactly why i'm an advocate for no job day because i stand for the choice to take it off which is something that is just not extended to people around the world and people within even my own community

here and in the u.k. ok just before we go you'll see in the bottom of our screen there live pictures is from turkey 2nd largest airport in. bowl which is dealing with a crush with saw the plane essentially cut in half no people no deaths have been recorded a number of injuries and this scene be rising so we'll keep the. screen we'll also be covering the story of course in our t. dot com with any on all developments from the plane crash through to keep on top of the out there. and a reminder for up to the minute stories as well quite literally artie's twitter page has you covered don't stray too far no more great program started in moments.

we're going to fulfill that promise is probably for the people. you know we've. but it was. really. pretty good. now you want to. know. china chose to build their economy in such

a way as that spawn the crisis of the problem by iris and for that there is an economic model to and the u.s. could inherit a benefit that economic policy similarly the u.s. built its economy in ways that cause other kind of extra analyses that are highly detrimental to the u.s. economy. readings in salyut patients my friends yes you know the phrase dumpster fire gets thrown around a lot these days but never has there been a more accurate metaphor description for what took place on monday night in the us state of iowa it was supposed to be the starting line of the democratic presidential primary where we would finally see this horse race start to take shape what we got instead like many of the democratic party's recent adventures was

indeed in party's recent adventures. was indeed a dumpster fire of chaos mismanagement and accusations of conspiracy and rigging as rolling stone reported in the wee hours of tuesday morning due to a technology snafu party leaders and volunteers found themselves struggling to report their final caucus tallies the candidates were periods the public went to sleep with no clue about the outcome for the democrats it was nothing short of a nightmare scenario and what was this technology snafu that caused this nightmare scenario you may ask well apparently it was a brand new smartphone app that was produced specifically for this primary season by a company called wait for it shadow yes shadow was the name of the company it was designed to help calculate and transmit the caucus results more efficiently and quickly x. .
