narrow streets of the flames were spreading so fast people were suffocating. every hour on the buses r.t. international thanks for keeping me company as we talk through the biggest stories of the day. and let's start with this one the u.n. human rights office has released a report identifying 112 companies which it says all supporting illegal settlements in the west bank the findings have come in for shop criticism from israel though it's called the document shameful and suspended ties with the body. who have a boy good will be borg to the human rights council is a buzz body that is devoid of influence the state of israel will not tolerate this discriminates he anti israeli policy and will take action to prevent the implementation of these kinds of decisions the united nations was referring to the

israeli settlements that are constructed in the west bank post the 19676 day war. the 121 officially recognized settlements house around half a 1000000 israeli settlers these places offer places of worship homes and businesses that serve the region for the israelis this list included 112 companies operating in these settlements they included some international companies such as moral solutions however they also included mostly israeli banks however some american companies like trip advisor and air b.n. b. were also mentioned in the list however of the united nations list does not state that these companies are practicing any illegal activity over that they are only being listed because they are operating within the israeli settlements it's important to know that it is not some claim a blacklist nor does it qualify any company's activities as illegal that would be

a separate and highly complicated terminations finding mission highlighted 10 types of business activities if you do as being of particular concern given the well established legal nature of the settlements in the occupied palestinian territory the palestinians welcomed the united nations list that arrived from the human rights council calling it a welcome diplomatic victory and a sign of the palestinians diplomatic efforts in the international community to confront israel publishing this list of companies and entities operating in the settlements is a victory for international law and diplomatic efforts the american administer. gratian and out of the deal of the century palestinians call this deal or this piece of ring a pro israel agreement that gave nothing to the palestinians and gave everything towards the israelis this has actually created more tensions between the palestinian authority and the israeli government with these tensions also

escalating into live protests on the ground and tensions are only rising in the days to come mohamed decide is the national director of the boycott divestment and sanctions movement based in south africa he hopes the new report will encourage businesses to end their support for west bank settlements but as a boycott divestment and sanctions movement we see this as a great as a great positive step in the right direction for holding israel accountable for its violations of international law it has taken the b.d.s. boycott of israel just over 15 years to get to the stage and so we really do hope that this nonviolent boycott movement can have an effect on the israeli government in an attempt to bring israel to the negotiating table similar to how our parties to africa was brought to the negotiating table big business is like a b. and b. brookings dot com invidious others should be on the right side of history and should in this complicity with these it was a violation of international law when we asked the companies mentioned on that list

to comment on the story and of course we'll update you on any response pro israel groups are demanding songwriter musician and pink floyd co-founder of water waters be dropped from the south by southwest music festival in texas next month they claim the star is an anti semite and therefore doesn't deserve to share his views that. it is unconscionable that waters' be given any platform to air his anti semitic views much less the chance to be a keynote speaker at a major music festival south by southwest should remove him from its lineup immediately launch of what is a scheduled to be a keynote speaker at the festival that last year talked of moving $400000.00 people major league baseball in the u.s. announced they won't be running out for waters upcoming tour after they came also on depression what you want to explain to us himself how he sees these attacks and what it is that he's fighting for. major league baseball ransom pre-sale

before a pre-sell of tickets to my shows there was never any question of us continuing to run more ads of to the priest so period so i think they just lend let it let it go away quietly the equation of the b.d.s. movement with the simitis and is an invention of people like the ny breath and it's an invention of the ministry of strategic comparison which spends millions and millions of pounds all over the world that served israeli ministry setups pacifically to spread lies about b.d.s. there is nothing and she submits a compound b.d.'s the b.d.s. movement has consistently and constantly and and of quickly stated that it is against all forms of isms racism and semitism and

muslim as anything the i 8 show or a definition wedding cropped up and was adopted and has been adopted by trump and by others as a new definition of and his semitism is such a red herring definition which identifies any criticism of the policies both domestic and foreign of the state of israel as being inherently anti semitic is clearly nonsense this has nothing to do with gers people and by the way but not by read at the bottom of their letter which i read again today they claim to represent all jewish people all over the world well i'm sorry guys but you don't know i am not anti semitic don't say any more please because it is a bare faced lie and it's irritating and it does nobody any i believe that all human beings have brothers and sisters. room of the world and that we have an

absolute moral duty to respect one another and that is the tiny platform upon which i stand clearly on being the sarcastic when i say tiny it's a huge. human rights and import the almost anything until it israel palestine issue is a glaring example of somewhere where some people have rights and other people don't but believe it is the human rights should be something there is fundamentally applies to all people equally. and that's had the u.k. now because the chairman of the b.b.c. has warned against funding cuts to britain's national broadcaster saying it would help countries like russia and china spread influence the b.b.c. is set to lose 200000000 pounds over the next 2 years as its license fee is reviewed by the government with an idea to possibly switch to a voluntarily subscription system is ali has the details. it would appear that

every time the b.b.c. are faced with these types of challenges they come out fighting although this time it seems they're resorting to scare tactics in order to ward off any threat to their state funding and this side perhaps unsurprisingly they've taken a at russia and china the b.b.c.'s mean competitors or the world funded state backed actors of russia and china who see news as an extension of state influence and its will for democratic disruption very easy of course always to raise the specter of nefarious states abroad trying to infiltrate and influence politics here of course the b.b.c. never engaging in that type of behavior but the chairman of the b.b.c. also going on to sing the praises of his organization and what he says is their commitment to impartiality as a public service broadcaster not a state broadcaster it has been a beacon of journalistic impartiality and

a lifeline for millions living in fear uncertainty and captivity worldwide while perhaps the few shared by the chairman is not the same as that shared by many people in the u.k. i mean for a start the b.b.c.'s embroiled in a number of its own difficulties and scandals in regards to for example sexism and racism and how it treats staff and how it deals with pay between men and women for example but also it seems to be a politicizing of their programming with the very popular victoria darva show being axed in the last few months that led to accusations that the government was trying to interfere with their output but also accusations from all sides of the political spectrum seen on the right accusations towards the b.b.c. that they're somehow against briggs it but even more so and perhaps with a lot of evidence behind it according to those who make this claim that the b.b.c.

showed a very. and see dermie corben bias especially in the run up to the election the beginning of that to somebody last year and some would appear that while the chairman of the b.b.c. wants to defend and sing the praises of the organization and say that this is a vital institution in this country there are rapidly running out of supporters in the country who are willing to come to their defense while i get my colleague cavanagh and talk to john clarke about the challenges confronting the broadcaster and what the proposed changes might mean for them this whole license thing is a piece of history and the b.b.c. these to up its game do you agree with that it is a great institution i think the problem has been really in the last i would say 10 years or so it's been with its political programming i think that that's where a lot of discontent lies we heard easterly talking there about people believing or thinking it would not without any evidence that the that they were

a lot of biased but sample against europe we called it now we're hearing today b.b.c. saying propaganda from the likes of china from the likes of russia are they really that important is it such a problem you know i think the funding so i don't know about the chinese or c.c.t.v. funding but i know from reading articles or reports that in fact the b.b.c. as a whole gets more funding than r.t. gets so i think that's a bit of a red herring so to speak i think it's sad that he's felt that charities for obliged to make that comment to get that to get russia because it really is and should really be about that it should really be about do we need a public sector broadcaster i think we do and how is that public sector broadcaster funded what he should be saying i think is look the b.b.c. has got a very long history. 80 odd years history of producing good programs we've done it down the years please keep the funding. it's a somber day in the job and city of dresden was it commemorates the victims of

a mass bombing campaign it's estimated that $25000.00 civilians died in the raids which were led by british and american assholes to 75 years ago to the day since then the intensity of the strikes and helping called into question as the 2nd world war at the time was nearing its end. and and. everything around turned into i see a woman in her hands is a bundle it's a child she runs and forms the child disappears into the plains.

we had the story of a man whose parents had the foresight to take him out of dresden shortly before the bombing began and although he was only 5 years old at the time he still has recollections of what his family went through. the bombing started and the house was on fire parents rushed outside and took nothing with them others went back to their flats and they died in the flames in the narrow streets the flames were

spreading so fast people were suffocating it was a simple struggle for survival after the attack no more no less for weeks afterwards the corpses were burned at the old market my father had to help there to from february to the beginning of may they started to clear some rubble and burned the bodies there were $6.00 to $7000.00 corpses burned at the old market 200 meters from here there are pictures of this there were bodies lying around everything was destroyed it was chaos because there were also many refugees from poland and east prussia that's why you don't know how many in fact died because there were so many unregistered people here who were burned the corpses could not be identified. stick with us we've got medical stories up this whole break.

ins to. put them so. they did accept the reject. so if you want to be president as you. want to that's. that's a good way to be for us this is what the local. people. interested in the. 2020. demick here. fear is compound it by the fact that there's nothing in the global economy is anchored anything so. so you have this remark shriveling paranoia. disorientation in a world around any kind of solid anchor and it's only going to get more chaotic.

welcome by united states nato representative claims that every nation has been targeted by the russia china and cyberspace warning the wall that it must strengthen its far walls against moscow beijing said my reports revealed the cia and its job and counterpart raked swiss made in question machines on xbox in the 1970 s. allowing them to spawn embassies and government institutions in 120 countries on course of reports. the washington post is calling it the intelligence coup of the century the cia working with west german secret services pulling the strings of

a swiss and crippin company and stealing government secrets from over 120 countries foreign governments were paying good money to the us and was germany for the privilege of having their most secret communications read by at least 2 foreign countries it was a foolproof operation 1st called the saurus and later renamed rubicon for over half a century of the company crypto a.g.t. was a captain of the world's encryption industry based in neutral switzerland most governments were quick to believe their secrets were in safe hands little did they know the cia and west germany's b.m.d. had co-opted the company's founder to create a backdoor into the world's best kept secrets in 1988 western spies had complete access to the egyptian president's communications with cairo during the camp david peace talks with israel a year later washington was spying on a rainy and officials during the hostage crisis and as late as 1906 u.s.

intelligence was listening to libyan officials congratulate each other for the bombing of a burl in disco although the c.i. a and b. and d. weren't able to hook their main rivals russia and china had enough foresight to look elsewhere for their encryption needs nowadays though those 2 are the scapegoats for all of the west's cyber woes if you see throughout our alliance every one of our countries has had side by and hybrid attacks from russia some from china for washington it's become a routine to point the finger at russia and china but it's not like u.s. intelligence operations have wound down since then on the contrary they've adapted . edward snowden is the 29 year old intelligence contractor who leaked top secret national security agency information revealing the incredible extent to which the

u.s. government is monitoring and keeping records of not just our phone calls the national security agency has developed is built an infrastructure they can intercept almost everything. in national security agency there in the united states allegedly spying on quite vast amounts citizens data the group by president obama who is reviewing the washington spying program has largely defended it although the program had not prevented a terrorist attack it was too vital to homeland security. the central intelligence agency has lost control of highly classified documents and computer code about the cia's technical capability to carry out into electronic devices things like android phones only phones and julian assange in london

accusing the cia of devastating incompetence saying the agency has lost control of its cyber weapons it doesn't matter who you are friend or foe they're coming for your secrets. i have since we started talking about then and see always made it clear to the u.s. president that spying among friends is not acceptable and if you take wiki leaks vault 7 documents into consideration it makes operation rubicon look like child's play the scope and direction of the cia's global covert hacking program its malware arsenal and dozens of 0 day weaponized exploits against a wide range of u.s. and european company products include apple's i phone google's android and microsoft's windows and even samsung t.v.'s which are turned into covert. microphone's even their own citizens aren't safe now increasingly we see that it's happening domestically and to do that they the n.s.a.

specifically targets the communications of everyone in just some by default it collects them in its system and it filters them into tantalizes them and measures them and stores them for periods of time simply because that's the easiest most efficient and most valuable way to achieve these ends snowden took the revelations about crypto eiji even further comparing it with a formerly secret $10000000.00 contract between the n.s.a. and a major u.s. computer security firm it begs the question what info grabbing operations are still going on right now under our noses well given how much time has passed from a cia analyst on whistle blower john kiriakou doesn't expect anyone to come clean over the reported operation. i can only speculate but we have a mandatory declassification law in this country where if information is at least

30 years old and it is not operational in nature that is it doesn't include information related to sources and methods that it has to be declassified and i wonder if that's really what this is all about that the information is old enough that that there's no reason to keep it classified anymore the the u.s. has interfered in more elections around the world then any other country in the world and i wouldn't be surprised if it was more than all other countries in the world combined this is something they that the u.s. does routinely regularly this may at least temporarily serve to take the attention off of russia off of china and other countries because this is something the united states does all the time not only will there be no criminal repercussions i would not at all be surprised if those responsible for this operation who are still in the cia or n.s.a.

are not given medals for what they've done. and finding for this hour you know may cause in italy how voted to put the anti migrant senate. trial of the claims his decision to hold will the $100.00 people that say it will cost $21000.00 was it legal but the far right 5 stop that defiant tone off to he was stripped of his parliamentary immunity signaling that he's ready for a new wing court battle. i feel is my duty to the country and italian people and to my children if i want to be proud of what i did to hold my head high. constitution says that protecting our homeland is a sacred duty for italian sits in this as a minister as a man as an italian fighting people traffic is defending our borders and security defending the pride and dignity of my country protect. the country is not a right producer. but take a selfie was it's nice interior minister at the time of the incident which calls

a major outcry among whites groups he was pushing for the closure of the country's ports to my quick rescue boats claiming that all the e.u. countries need to take that fashion of newcomers to prosecutors allege that he acted alone in refusing to let the passengers disembark in sicily and didn't actually have the consent of his coalition partners salvini though for his part says he was sticking to campaign promises of course we know was among the countries most impacted by the miten crisis at the time. i think it is a said page for our democracy i mean celine it was a minister who was a minister of the italian republican and the hollande try to defend our national

interest only try to defend our borders and the political. parties are democratic and this is a 5 star movement so now in italy we have how you know maybe the leftist government in there i worry a republican a story and this government try to attack in a political way so really because every time that libya and the center right to go to her during the european election but maybe except for. election in the local election every time the center right and leg are the force of our political party in italy so now what's happened is that some of that the left the can defeat the salvini during the normal election and wanted to defer the political attack and wanted to prosecute salvini with the. yes in the next day about how things are shaping up and i'll be back in thoughts minutes to tide you over until then it's one of the award winning talks mentions that.

in 2040 you know bloody revolution to the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it still or here i mean your list put video through to me

in the new bill is that i'm spoiling you to the former ukrainian president recalls the events of 2014. those who took. it invested over $5000000000.00 to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. the liberal corporate media are fickle they fall in and out of love quickly and often not long ago they were infatuated with a droll roark now they are smitten by mayor the media love to drone on about their preferences in the mean time voters take their candidates. you know world of the big part of the lot and consume. yours it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that make the stream 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 know in psychology that the more people are told that they can't or shouldn't do something whether it's sexual or otherwise the more it makes them want to do anything so trying new things violating taboos are some of the most common and pervasive elements in our sexual fantasies.

other things are. just. love that you know what it is that we're. service. every night to and that's and does have until it is. time for someone to school school tomo that allows us to understand them ok and that's so not him and yet some how it's always this mess is the idea that if i didn't send if it was a letter that was just interested in haiti.
