home office and an appeals court so people taishan of 17 violent criminals to jamaica we hear whether they should have been given more legal backing. it is not my responsibility to pay for a foreign national commit crime in my country many of these people they committed a single offense many years ago since then i mean obviously that just shows how little trust we have in our own criminal justice system. friday morning at 14th of february bright welcome to world news from international 1st for you then he has verified the leaks of a 3rd whistleblower who stepped up pressure on the international chemical weapons watchdog revelation costs further doubt on the o.p.c. w.'s final report into an alleged chemical attack in the syrian city of doomer in 2018 redacted e-mail that highlights issues of integrity in the handling of the incident was given to investigative news website the gray zone project where i

guess they have sift through what might be fact and fiction. we like magine that these massive google organizations the u.n. the i.m.f. the u.p.c. w. these juggernauts good but knives that at the end of the day what they do is good for mankind but as with many things in life you take a closer look and you're left disappointed the years are server the most stressful and unpleasant ones of my life i feel ashamed for the organization and i'm glad i left it one whistleblower saying the u.p.c. w. was biased corrupt well he could be wrong just an opinion to whistleblowers saying the same thing makes you think could they be right u.b.c. w. says no ignore them spector's a and b. not whistleblowers they were individuals who could not accept that their views were not backed by evidence as could be expected their conclusions are rona's uninformed

and wrong sure one whistleblower could be wrong too well could be wrong but when it's 3 when it's 5 when it's a dozen whistle blows you know something's rotten. those behind the crimes that have been perpetrated in the name of humanity and democracy they will not hesitate to do harm to me and my family just what the hell is going on at the o.p.c. w. what could be so terrifying that its own employees are afraid for their lives and feel their employer could target them and their families it isn't just one individual it's others too whose crimes were that they would just doing their jobs i submitted a requests to the team leader i asked i repeated this request a number of times all requests were declined or simply ignored just the guy doing his job what it said in the job description at what was

a respectable organization according to testimony given at the un that's not what the u.p.c. w. the management wanted all requests were denied the responses i received included this is too big don't make yourself a martyr i deposited a dossier requesting an investigation months later i was informed that nothing would be done i requested a meeting with the director general as i thought the situation was serious enough to warrant him being made aware of it the request for a meeting was denied and i was informed by a senior manager that you will never get to the director general and if you try to go around me to get to him there will be consequences but don't you think the u.p.c. w. hasn't learned that lesson it has it isn't the lesson you and me might think of you know being more honest the lesson they learned is everyone everyone working for them needs to learn to keep their mouths shut and additional

bigotry organization wide confidentiality training program will be instituted for all personel employed by the secretary and this training will be accompanied by annual are to stations and just in case anyone anyone gets any smart idea. in the future the bosses over the u.p.c. w. could always show them this letter and tell them this is what happens to you when you dare speak out against the u p c w i don't want to expose myself or my family to their violence and revenge i don't want to live in fear of crossing the streets. ahead of potentially crucial local elections in france next month the manual mccrone is saying his public popularity hit new lows and the president could be a risk of widespread losses when it comes to muslim voters over his support of a teenager who lambasted islam online our correspondent sheila do bensky delves deeper. president korn has already been accused of fishing for ideas from france is

a right wing parties there was the crackdown 2 on illegal immigration france cannot host everyone if it wants to host people well they were tax changes that is observatory over economic conditions as a benefit to the wealthy and the left the poor well poor he also made it easier for employers to have that workers but the same time making it harder for those who are unemployed to claim benefits now it seems ahead of him collections one which poll suggests his party is going to do badly in not going is once again throwing out some new bait this time defending a teenager who attacked. just

put those comments into context make a move to a muslim commentator on hope post attacked her for being a lesbian in france the incident became a national scandal on one side there were those who decry the 16 year old as being a racist all the others those who championed her for her right of the freedom of speech in our country of liberty opportunity to apologize it's up to those who threaten her with does harass her insult her to be brought to justice rather to this young high school student for her courage. the right to criticize not the right to solve how many times must we repeat that freedom of expression is not an excuse to denigrate and insult letter support me like a 16 year old boys who shoot in insulted and threatened with death by thousands of fanatics for having given your opinion on islam. i think she doesn't realize what

she's seeing and how big it can be now president matt korn has waded into the debate defending her the law is clear we have the right to blast dream to criticize and to caricature religions what is forbidden is incitement to hatred and attacks on human dignity the teenager who received a rape death threats following up with you has since had to move schools and even been given protection from the state that whole affair has opened up a can of worms in france yet again opus free speech and the right to blast being by standing up for french values including secularism and the ability to criticize religion and possibly gaining some votes on the right is my corner alienating the more liberal base that pushed him into power and cheated by default the muslim community which overwhelmingly voted for him back in 2017 after all it's not the 1st time since he was elected. to muslims in 29000 the community to step up the

fight against separatism in the toric that was seen as being tough on islamic radicalization it is a fact that a form of separatism has taken root in some places in our republic in other words the desire not to live together and not to be in the republic it is in the name of a religion namely islam now he also took aim at albania and macedonia ringback chances to join the e.u. many find that difficult to understand and have suggested the real reason is the large and politically active muslim communities in both countries all of this may not play out well for truly on the right may cost him vital votes on the left and leave his party lacking any punch in next month's elections. r.t. paris a human rights activist yesterday told us president would have lost the muslim vote regardless of the route. muslims do not necessarily support it but you and

mccormick they can support mark or they can support people from various authorities and muslims are not i would genius the group in france whether with or without muslim votes it money would work or has been just decried for the good of us we should remember the conditions in which he was elected that the majority of french people did not go to vote the majority even less people who want to avoid doing their part of it there are elections that we see no doubt the french republic is in grave danger and i think the canucks is part of the institutions and on top of it all is suing it will be held accountable and this is this is where the ideological blindness or the money will quit while you are mccall will either cost him his or reelection but this or or this stability of the bill be 0 he urged pretty consistent. from israel groups have demanded the veteran rocker and pink floyd

frontman roger waters be dropped from a major music festival in texas running in anti-semitic over his backing of a profile estonian organization and british musician has also seen ads for his upcoming tour dropped by major league baseball in the u.s. that too was down to pressure over water support for the boycott divestment and sanctions movement is backing the pro palestinian group is illegal in many states across the u.s. what waters told r.t. why he's not going to give up his fight. the major league baseball ransom pre-sale before a pre-sell of tickets for my shows which is very nice have always had a very good relationship with the n o b i've done shows a yankee stadium and ricky feel i'm fenway park another great great baseball stadiums all of the united states so i have a close relationship with them. and. and so there was never any

question of us continuing to run more ads of to the priest appeared so i think they just lend let me let it go away quietly. there is nothing and he semitic about 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 anti semitism anti of muslim as for anything any of any of that any of those race hatred or and shit religious movements about b.d.s. absolutely disavows itself and it's always been extremely clear about that and so i'm out i have never done anything anti semitic or had an anti semitic thought in my life i do have a support the b.d.s. movement and i am and i have campaigned for the last 15 years or so against the

policies of the israeli government and i will continue to do so until the human rights of the palestinian people are respected in the middle east. the i.a.e.a. show or a definition waiting cropped up and was adopted and has been adopted by trump and by others as a new definition of something and his semitism is such a red herring because it doesn't come from any real genuine body the eye a chair or a nebulous same g.-o. it has nothing to do with the un it has nothing to do with human rights organizations. and in consequence it it is the new definition 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

while in another israel dominated roué of a free speech and lawsuits being filed against the us state of georgia it's after a planned talk at a local university was key. canceled when journalist having not in refused to sign a pledge not to boycott israel which is obligatory on the state will the american islamic relations council has spoken out against the university. by canceling a journalist speaking on campus because she refused to support a foreign government georgiou violated the 1st amendment freedom of speech guarantee there is no place were free speech is more important than on campus this is attempt to suppress abusive use is as brazen as it is illegal. the laws designed to counter the palestinian led campaigns against israel 27 other states have described by some as pro israel most similar to ga they forbid state governments from signing contracts with entities which boycott israel be martin claims people are being forced to give up their constitutional rights. i was given this contract

i was pretty shocked to get this contract i heard of these laws i knew of cases for hurricane relief workers just substitute teachers but i guess i never connected the 2 that simply being a speaker on a college campus supposedly bastion of free speech nationwide would trigger this pause and force me to sign a contract to say that i would never boycott israel course this goes against my 1st amendment. rights this is meant to curb the mounting grassroots pressure that originates predominately on college campuses against the state of israel and i couldn't comply with this how could i comply my entire body of work criticizes the israeli government of course i wrote back and i said i cannot comply with this and that's why i decided to take legal action with care in the p.c. jaf because thousands of contractors are being affected by this long whether or not they know where they are forfeiting their constitutional rights in order to simply

work and i think that's an abomination we do have a strong case ahead of us i think that it is up to the judges themselves to overturn those laws they've done them in several cases already and that's why i'm confident that we have a very strong clear cut case that a judge will will see that this is a blatant violation of our constitutional rights that it really goes to show you this isn't about free speech at all this is about the ruling what kind of speech we're hearing. being accused of failing to thoroughly review incidents of civilian casualties reports revealed that much more could be done by the u.s. military to review and prevent cases in afghanistan iraq and syria. whether that's the reason for disparity when it comes to collateral damage to suspects. united states has always insisted that it takes reports about civilian casualties very seriously especially when we ask them about such reports what does the numbers to the intents have to be for you to call it disturbing we always seek to minimize

civilian casualties. in any kind of operation military operation air strike that we carry out the u.s. strike that reportedly killed around 20 civilians in the isolate held city of mom beach in syria was it a mistake. on monday. that's another great accusatory question you've asked here no other military works as hard as ours none no other military in the world to prevent civilian casualties those words sound absolutely certain but a new report indicates that things aren't always as washington insists they are columbia law school human rights institute oversees the center for civilians in conflict they have conducted 228 different investigations into civilian casualties in iraq and syria and afghanistan now they looked into how the u.s. military carries out these investigations and they determine that when investigating itself the u.s. military can be rather inconsistent military leaders have publicly acknowledged the

value of investigating allegations of civilian harm however over the last 18 years examples of good practice in investigating civilian harm have been overshadowed by the inconsistency of the overall record of military investigations for example when investigating civilian casualties u.s. officials rarely ever visit the scene of the crime and only 16 percent of cases do they actually go to the site of the attack and they rarely ever interview witnesses either only 21.5 percent of cases involve interviews with eyewitnesses in too many instances investigations have been concluded based on incomplete. in adequate internal information or have failed to sufficiently incorporate external evidence not to sound like sherlock holmes here but if you never interview any witnesses and you never visit the scene of the crime how exactly do you go about investigating an

incident well here is a standard civilian casualties report as if he completed casualty allegation reports for reports were determined to be credible and resulted in 12 unintentional sudden deaths combined joint task force or oppression inherent and says the remaining 48 could pose as non-credible that word incredible is key to everything if a flight log or strike record is incomplete the entire incident gets shocked the pentagon says that more than 1190 civilians died as a result of u.s. air strikes in iraq and syria however monitoring group says that number is actually 74385 times higher reports are very revealing the fact that they actually went to the trouble to outline and catalog these events. reflect that results of certain military actions has been devastating to post strikes our. visits are. less than 25 percent even though they

claim that they are women and doing investigation when. the killing of civilians is made known to the department of defense shows that the u.s. is very destructive. as it has developed since since iraq it has developed in 2003 it has developed a reputation of being very destructive and which hundreds of thousands of civilians have been killed or maimed and wounded including u.s. forces now this all may sound shocking but think about it what criminal would ever be caught doing wrong if they were in charge of their own investigation caleb. heart see new york. the british home office and an appeals court of themselves and brought in a rabbi over the deportation of violent criminals to jamaica it's been confirmed 17 people were deported however 25 other cases were held back due to

a court order concerns were raised by a judge that those being held in detention were not given access to legal advice or a phone the u.k. government defended its move saying it will act to remove serious offenders who are foreign nationals. the offenses which these people responsible for include one month slaughter one firearms offense 7 violent offenses to which are in the category of rape or sexual offenses and 14 drugs offenses we make no apology whatsoever for seeking to remove syria's foreign national offenders we are reaction from human rights lawyer shoaib carne and political commentator andrew walker whether the deported criminals should have been given more legal backing by the u.k. . this is not say regs they supposedly protection issue and it's also a rights issue people talk time and time again about your rights a family life your right to live in the united kingdom you don't have a right to live in the united kingdom or less your sits in the united kingdom just

like any other british national just as anyone else in the u.k. they committed a crime they said their punishment they were convicted sentence they serve their time now after that they should be allowed to come home to their family they have british spouses british parents british children british families it is not my responsibility to pay for a foreign national to commit crime in my country many of these people they committed a single offense many years ago since then i mean obviously from the that just shows how little trust we have in our own criminal justice system they've been in prison they've been of probation since then why have not been able to rehabilitate them why haven't we not been able to reduce the chances a real finding that is the responsibility of the government i don't have a duty to deal with the world's worst people i don't have a duty for my taxes to be paid on these sorts of people get a grip of yourself look if you wish to come to the united kingdom in order to do a job it all to raise a family it all to be a reasonable person i love you if you wish to come to this country it ought to sell

drugs beat people up rape murder pillage and abuse go how many of these people they were not given the right to make their legal claims there is no legal aid for such cases anymore people who can't afford lawyers aren't able to claim their legal rights and that's why there was an additional in the pointer is not just why are we deporting black people the point is why every deporting criminals who have committed relative do mine no fences and relatively short criminal sentences when they have children british families here and reception separating them from them permanently we do not have a duty to loaf and support and trust and respect people who came to this country to abuse extraordinary if that sounds brutal i don't care anyone. ever can be put in a situation where the you know in this part of the moment they act in a certain way but out there that doesn't mean that we shall separate them and essentially destroy their family nights whatever and that's the point in the in the in that he look at how they and this is out of the moment in the spare the moments

you commits an act of manslaughter out killing somebody in the spur of the moment go back ok that's the way it looks for moscow so far this friday february 14th there's a valentine's day cross talk on the way for you on the media love in for their favorite u.s. presidential candidate crush. you

know world a big part of the new lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bats 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 2040 you know bloody revolution to correct the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be increasingly violent revolution is

always spontaneous or is it still or here i mean your list put the video put him in the new bill is that i knew scrolling needed to the former ukrainian president recalls the events of 2014. those who took part in this to do over $5000000000.00 to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic.

hello and welcome to cross talk were all things considered peter lavelle the liberal corporate media are fickle they fall in and out of love quickly and often not long ago they were infatuated with pedro rourke now they were smitten by mayor peake the media love to drone on about their preferences in the mean time the voters pick their candidates. talking manufactured consent i'm joined by my guess i've been in washington he's a libertarian candidate for president as well as author of the book pull out men modern life and mutiny in manchester we cross to david john pestle he's running for president and in fort lauderdale we cross to christopher metzler he is a legal scholar or a gentleman cross-talk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate arvin let me go to you 1st in washington you know i'm calling this program wall st pete but you know it's about manufactured consent and

as i said in my introduction and i'm particularly looking at how the liberals are focusing on this campaign. it's really the flavor of the moment it's whims of coal he's got a nice smile you know and he's like chicken soup you know i mean and i'm not just talking about mayor pete i mean we've heard this over and over again about all kinds of candidates here but i get the sense that this is manufactured whoever this pete character is i mean he seems like a cardboard box that you know that has just been invented almost out of nowhere and i'm not criticizing a conservative i'm not even have a dog in this fight here but i mean i am quite disturbed how the me. he is so intent on controlling the message and at this point always always always at the expense of bernie sanders and other candidates. for example they just disappear her she's not there and that's the media go ahead. so let's look at what all of the candidates who have been disappeared have in common they are all people who have

major issues with the military industrial complex these are people who want to see government cut spending on the military to stop foreign interventionism to shut down foreign military bases and bring the troops home which by the way is also one of my campaign pledges but the people that the media get behind on the other hand are the very people who they know are not going to be dismantling any significant part of the military industrial complex wall street pete one of the one of the biggest parts of wall street is the military industrial complex defense contractors this is the firms that support them and what the media is doing is supporting that and any candidate that goes against that isn't going to get ignored by the media we've seen that with gabbert and we're seeing that with sanders and we're going to see that with any candidate i guarantee with any candidate that wants to end this kind of foreign military overreach you know you know david ok david disagreeing

that's good that's the whole point of the program you know in watching the like but i don't know how you hang on let me ask you a question ok you know in watching c.n.n. and and this n.b.c. there they're trying to create this obama ask you know that may repeat is obama 2.0 but i would say well if you want to make that comparison he's obama point 75 because he doesn't even measure up to obama now you've disagreed and that's your time to go go ahead david. yeah i don't i don't believe that the press has disappeared the people for the same reason that the gentleman said i mean i was disappeared from the media and i'm definitely not against the military i'm a veteran myself i would actually probably raise the budget in the military especially in the navy to support defense in the country and also we're seeing a lot of opioids come into the country and that's a problem. and that could be solved using the military on the border.
