on the chemical weapons watchdogs investigation into the alleged chemical attack in syria claiming he faced intimidation. from the headlines today pro israel group's call for a boycott of the veteran british rocker roger waters who defended his stance for supporting the pro palestinian movement on aren't. the equation of b.d.s. move. is an invention of people like brinson it's an invention of the ministry of strategic affairs and a last minute legal intervention could eventually see a killer and the rapist released back onto the streets of britain as 25 violent criminals have their deportations to jamaica block. it is not my

responsibility to pay for a foreign national to commit crime in my country any of these people they committed a single offense many years ago since then i mean obviously for the that just shows how little trust we have in our own criminal justice system. just turned 3 pm for the 14th of february moscow welcome to the program live from the international world news center it's kevin owen here with the latest half hour update for you 1st that is just mentioned the 3rd will so blow it has chimed in with claims accusing the world chemical weapons watchdog of creating an atmosphere of intimidation during the o.p.c. w.'s investigation into the alleged chlorine attack in the syrian city of duma in april 28th. 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 a reductive email given to investigative news website the gray zone project highlights issues of integrity to the probe it follows revelations by 2 other watchdog employees to stress in the same issue they also question the findings of the final o p c w report which in effect pin the blame on the assad government our senior correspondent world goes day of today sift through what might be fact and what might be fiction. we like to imagine that these massive global 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 this appointed 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 you'll be c w says no ignore them space is a and b. are not whistleblowers they were individuals who could not accept that their views were not backed by evidence as could be expected their conclusions are uninformed and brum 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 whistleblowers you know something's rotten. i share 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 personnel employed by the secretariat this training will be accompanied by annual are to stations and just in case anyone anyone gets any smart ideas 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. was mentioned the o.p.c.

debris went public in doubting the credibility of the 1st 2 whistleblowers we have our international chemical weapons watchdog to comment on all the allegations if we get back to a soon we'll let you know what they've got to say in response to my story today pro israel groups have demanded that veteran rocker and former pink floyd star roger waters be dropped from a major music festival in texas branding him anti semitic over his backing of a pro palestinian organization the british musician has also seen ads for his upcoming tour dropped by major league baseball in the u.s. that was to put the pressure over waters support for the boycott divestment and sanctions movement as part of the pro palestine group is illegal is backing rather profilers on group is illegal in many states across the u.s. soldier waters told us to react why he's not giving up despite that. major league baseball round some pre-sale ads before a presale tickets for my shows which is very nice have always had

a very good relationship with the m o b i have done shows the yankee stadium and wrigley field i'm fenway park and other great great baseball stadiums all of the united states so i have a close relationship with them. and so there was never any question of us continuing to run more ads of to the priests over a period so i think they just lend let me let it go away quietly. there is nothing and she's met a good bout 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 she semitism anti muslim as anything any of any of that any of those race hatred or anti religious movements have anywhere b.d.'s absolutely disavows itself and it's

always been extremely clear about that and so a man 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. 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 roger waters tell us direct ways coming from the subject meantime in another israel dominated row of a free speech a law suit has been filed against the u.s. state of georgia of a planned talk at the university was canceled when journalist abby martin refused to sign a pledge not to boil. called israel which is obligatory under state law she claims free speech is therefore being restricted instead of embraced. 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 speech pathologist substitute teachers but i guess i never connected the 2 that simply being a speaker on a college campus supposedly these bastion of free speech nationwide would trigger this clause and force me to sign a contract to say that i would never boycott israel of 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 law whether or not they know where they are forfeiting their constitutional rights in order to simply work and i think that's an abomination with those designed accounts of palestinian

led campaigns against israel 27 other states have what is scribe by some as pro israel laws similar to georgia to they forbid state governments from signing contracts with entities which boycott israel. by canceling it generally speaking on campus because she refused to support a foreign government georgiou violated the 1st amendment freedom of speech guarantee. we do have a strong case ahead of us i think it is up to the judges themselves to overturn these laws they've done them in several cases already and that's why i'm confident that we have a very strong case that it judge of all will see that this is a violation of our constitutional rights that it really goes to show you this isn't about free speech at all this is about controlling what kind of speech we're hearing. probably makes a pretty governments concerned that an appeals case could see a killer and a rapist released on bail within days they're there among 25 violent criminals who

avoided deportation from the u.k. this week after a last minute legal challenge block their return to jamaica one of those $25.00 was found guilty of stabbing a 50 year old man to death fitzroy daley is currently serving a 10 year sentence over it while a convicted rapist fabian henry is behind bars for raping youngsters on 3 occasions so they're said to stay in britain pending an appeal by the government right now which is concerned that they might pose a threat to the public but for now the bin reprieved as the appeals judge ruled that they hadn't been given enough legal advice or a phone the u.k. government however says it regrets that the court came to that decision and stressed it will act to remove serious offenders who are not british defenses which these people responsible for include one manslaughter one firearms offense 7 violent offenses 2 which are in the category of rape or sexual offenses and 14 drugs offenses we make no apology whatsoever for seeking to remove serious foreign

national offenders. we got reaction from he wrote slow serve can and political commentator under walker on whether the deported criminals should be given sufficient access to legal support even if they pose a serious threat to society. this is not a race issue they supposedly protection issue and it's also a rights issue people talk time and time again about your rights of 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 nationalist 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 any of these people they committed a single offense many years ago since then i mean obviously for 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 of real offending 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 ought 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 other buz 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 relatively minor offenses and relatively short criminal sentences when

they have children british families here and we. they're separating them from them permanently we do not have a jew to say to loaf and support and trust i respect people who can say country to abuse a strong if that sounds brutal i don't anyone ever come to put in a situation where. you know i think in this part of the moment they act in a certain way but out there that doesn't mean that we should separate them and essentially destroy this i mean i'd sort of up and that's the point we need 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 not to manslaughter killing somebody in the spot of the moment go back. this is us international live from moscow on the way the pentagon is accused of failing to investigate civilian deaths in foreign conflicts to cover it when with.

the liberal corporate media are fickle they fall in and out of love quickly and often not long ago they were infatuated with being wrong wrong now they are smitten by me or the media love to drone on about their preferences in the mean time voters their candidates. 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 it so trying new things violating taboos are some of the most common and pervasive elements in our sexual fantasies. most people think just stand out in this business you need to be the 1st one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest race in truth to

stand down the news business is just the dance the right questions and demand the right answer. questions. hello again one of the french president's closest political allies of as withdrawal know is candidacy for mayor of paris following the alleged leak of compromising video online but in those decision to drop out of the race represents a major blow them to emanuel mccraw whose party is suffering a crisis of confidence going to next month's local elections as we've been reporting let's go live to perish because across as we focus from all the development charlotte what's happening here. well this is following the dissemination of these videos and these photos which are are fairly.

benjamin cleaver hasn't said that these are authentic but it is being portrayed in the media here in france that several of his aides say that he recognized the videos as being take and that's why he withdrew his candidature from the paris may all race so quickly let's have a listen to what he said. when i announced my candidacy for mayor of paris i knew how harsh political life was for every year my family and i had been subjected to defamatory statements lies anonymous attacks the release of private conversations and death threats yesterday we reached a new level when an internet site relayed despicable attacks calling my private life into question. well the reaction from the political background from across the political spectrum has been largely supportive of benjamin in this time after those videos have merged on the internet some describing them as being odious

saying that they were an attack on democracy here in france even his opposition rivals in that race for the paris match have offered their support take said to me he's a former on the move party member himself he issued this tweet in support of benjamin now what's interesting about him is he is in that race with the paris maggie standing as an independent at the moment and that's because there was a huge fraction huge fiction in the party as a result the fact that he and benjamin cleaver both wanted to be the party candidate for paris benjamin cleaver was of course chosen over as said to be and as a result of that he said he was standing as an independent now the party wasn't happy with this tall and they in fact kicked him out of the party just a few weeks ago but he has even offered his support in regards to that now next month local elections are seen as being an important task for president machen some

saying it's going to be a referendum on his policies particularly some of the unpopular one such as those pension reforms that we've seen all of those protests about over the last few months and what's really interesting is already going into those races next month and party was expecting to have a little bit of a kicking from the public in front some polls showing that his support is around about 30 percent and suggesting that big gains could be on the way for millionaire pens national party and also for green parties the fact that one of my closest allies the man that he was hoping would secure the seat here in paris which would have been a huge coup has had to stand down over the dissemination of lewd videos is a huge. paris meant to him personally and also to his party now the party are likely to choose another candidate will to do that quickly but the reality is has the damage already being done you know the perils of a life as a politician than

a show of diplomacy thank you very much for the update there from paris. the pentagon has been accused of failing to thoroughly review incidents of civilian casualties or reports reveal that much more could be done by the u.s. military to review and prevent the cases in afghanistan iraq and syria and its mobile looks at whether or not that's the reason for disparity when it comes to so-called collateral damage to to sticks. guided 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 fleet 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 ice cold 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 determined 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 or. 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 . combined joint task force oppression inherent assess the remaining 483 posts as non-credible that word credible 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. courts are very revealing the fact that they actually went to the trouble to

outline a catalogue these events. reflect that results of certain military actions has been devastating to post strikes our. visits are very. less than 25 percent even though they claim that there are women doing this to geisha and when. the killing of civilians is made known to the. departments shows that the us is very destructive. as it has developed since since iraq it has developed in 2003 it has developed a reputation of being very destructive. 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 they were in charge of their own investigation ilam up an artsy new york. risk around the world he would have been in pictures from the

iranian capital where hundreds have been paying their respects to the slain general cassim seller money it's been $40.00 days since he was killed on foreign soil by a u.s. airstrike tensions have since spiraled further between the 2 nations with the action taken on both sides. in china a 5 g.b. robot doctor now is doing the rounds to curb the spread of corona virus partly can measure body temperature it is terms of 5 meters and recognize whether or not person is wearing a face mask it's aimed at preventing people coming into contact with others who may be contagious julian cribb ation period the virus is so far known to have claimed 1300 lives and infected a further 60000 worldwide. now some pictures free ones from russia are the icing on the cake let's call it a time lapse video for the world's deepest freshwater lake beautiful place by karl in russia's western siberia you can see is the surface covers there with ice and snow in the final flurry of winter the ice on by color can reach instantly

a thickness of about one and a half meters they say safe enough to drive on a brave soul would do that anyway we thought we'd leave you that there are pictures in the way things are looking from russia so far this friday afternoon at 26 minutes past 3 in the afternoon moscow time my name is kevin i'm from the rest the team are mine to check it out see kong or various social media and all of us have a great rest of the day. the russian state television propaganda machine propaganda outlet propaganda tools we are in an information war. that can change the world tomorrow. we send out you tube videos the protests

was flushed today it's the largest network on my. question brushed russia russia and russia say. well i was. relieved to hear that they were actually russia to go and i really had to join the to see you then on r g. 4 are so proud and still. are just going through a number. why have you not shut down our t.v. on you tube it's a propaganda machine mr walker. you know world 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 bath 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. he says the democrats are complicit and donald trump is the most egregious abuse of power we're going to find out why as i go one on one with ron paul on this edition. of the politicking on larry king my guest today is ron paul former republican congressman from texas he made 3 bids for the white house twice as a republican once as the libertarian party's presidential nominee and he's host of

the ron paul liberty report me joins us from lake jackson texas in an opinion piece this week you wrote the democrats have a lot donald trump's real abuse of power which is overseas aggression one of the lab. yes and i think it's a bipartisan problem that we face because i think the foreign policy unfortunately is shared by both parties and they deal with other things for political reasons and the point i was making in this one and addressing donald trump was what went on in syria you know when there was some gassing down and and people said assad is bad guys in his own people and. trump sent 100 missiles then into syria and lo and behold after a couple years of investigation and finding out that it was it was it was all fake . that the government didn't do that. there was people trying to cause

a red flag and try to blame it you know on the government and they got caught at it but it took 3 years later but that generally has happened you know regardless of which party is in power they are always finding the excuses so that the people will go along with it so people went along with trump and yet that was an act of war but both in the neither party says a word that republicans are going to say anything but a democrat saying they found other things that we found to be maybe existing to some degree but rather minor in nature compared to unleashing bombs on people without authority and doing it on their own that's that's executive branch government out of control do you buy that old theory of the biz not a lot of difference between both parties.
