is replete with hard liners. the new it comes with a long record of failure to get worse. trade in troops are accused of murdering thought to 9 unarmed civilians in afghanistan, an official war crimes report describes the practice as blood to the republican election. officials claim they were bullied into such a fine. the election results in the state of michigan through intimidation, deception, and threats of violence. to present a united states recognize israel rights. prime minister benjamin netanyahu. thanks washington for recognizing territories,

claimed by israel. although those policies are expected to be reversed by the next administration. one of the themes compounding the humanitarian disaster. here is the sheer ruggedness of the mountainous country. refugees are time home to not want to care about because russian peacekeepers secured only routes linking the region to armenia. i'll to take that trip on its safety. while commuting into its international with our class was not to have you with us. all blood lost on competition. kelly may have provoked a strange and special forces to modify the 9. i found civilians and inquiries found on some killings appear to have been part of an initiation ritual. for new troops

there is credible information. the junior soldiers were required by their patrol commanders to shoot a prisoner in order to achieve the soldier's 1st kill in a practice that was known as bloody. so essentially, the general idea behind this report is that some rogue soldiers, some rogue members of most elite astray in his unit s.a.'s, that they have been fusing excellence, military excellence with eagle, with pride, and well with indiscriminate killing. here's how a top defense official of australia described the atmosphere of the dominated in this unit. the report finds that some specialist service ridgemont commanders in australia fostered within the s.a.'s. what justice burton terms, a self centered warrior culture? a misplaced focus on prestige status and power turning away from or from the

regiment's heritage of military excellence fused with the quiet humility of service. so to put it in simpler terms, a soldier was given a boost in status in the world, you know, within the unit. for instance, the 11 ritual that is described in this, in this document in this report, is that some new recruits were made were made to shoot prisoners compliant prisoners which were no longer combat tends to make their 1st kill. it was called blooding. and they're also, there's also some evidence uncovered by the investigators that weapons were planted later on the bodies of these prisoners to make them look as if they were fighting back and so on and so forth. and also the report suggests that these kills that they weren't made in the heat of battle. so you know how some decisions. like if

there's a, if there's a heated shootout going on, then if you all me, it's kill or be killed, then world could be absolved of some of the over some of its actions that later, you know, looking back in hindsight, don't look as good as, as good of a decisions as these seemed in the heat of the moment. that was not the case when it comes to the incidence that this report has been looking into. in fact, one of the investigators that was who is familiar with the matter. she said that killing was made into a sport. he said it was happening again and again, what was happening, what sort of actions are we talking about? it was killing as a sport. also the report interesting me enough it absolves seems to absolve the highroad command, suggesting that the higher up officers officers high in the hierarchy, they did know that was taking place some difficult and disturbing information to learn to everyone who condone history is involvement in afghanistan,

especially given that they went in, that they intervened in this, in this conflict that intervened in affairs to the tune of these words, terrorism is based on evil, intolerance and bigotry, and new free societies, such as australia, the united states, can look around to bigotry and intolerance. so that the report suggests punishment against 19 members of say yes, so this is the number. so we'll have to see what legal steps and what legal action will be taken in the wake of this probe. international fast professors fair. mclennan says, many foreign soldiers have said disregard for afghan lives. the word afghanistan was always brained and a 2 pronged way, one on the one hand accountability for the attacks of 911 arguments that afghanistan had been used as

a breeding ground for terrorists. and on the other hand, in attack against the taliban, a humanitarian intervention, to save the afghan people from a brutal regime. the reality is that none of the behavior that we have witnessed in these reports shows any serious care for the afghan people. at no time do we get the sense that there's any concern for the future of the nation. and for the complexities of rebuilding a country that's been ripped apart by war since $979.00. and in fact, in the, the afghanistan papers that were released are only just about a year ago. we found out that the u.s. government wasn't even really taking seriously counting civilian casualties. they didn't count the bodies of dead afghans because the afghan lives did not count in the war. and so i think we see, you know,

a consistent pattern here where there's no accountability and no concern at all for the people here, republican election officials in the u.s. state of michigan are claiming they were tricked into such a fine the result in wayne county. they've signed affidavits were sending that decision to approve the vote count. that's after they initially blocked the certification process, citing discrepancies. i need sleep voted not to certify the election. and i still believe this vote should not be certified. and the state board of canvassers should canvass for an additional period republican canvassers, william hartmann, and monica palmer initially voted against certifying the election results in wayne county, michigan. now they are the reason they chose not to vote to certify the results is that they said there were irregularities. they said that the poll book, which is the official list of registered voters, did not actually match the election results. they had questions,

they were not comfortable voting to certify the election results. the state of michigan had already been called for joe biden. the we had been ahead at that point 150000 votes, but because of these irregularities, they were not agreeing to certify the voting results in wayne county in michigan, that's the county where detroit is located. so immediately after they did not certify the vote, there was kind of a 3 hour deadlock and then there was a zoom call where activists and poll workers spoke to the board on a zoom conference and raised the issue of racism using them a grazes. i'm saying that this fit in with the long history of voter suppression efforts to deprive african-americans of their right to vote. this is what they endured on the xoom call. we are going to you guys are not right, and i'm sorry for your descendants will be so esteemed of you. i'm ashamed of you. i'm not going to read it to you. shame on you. you're a racist. ignorance was showing your racism is very apparent. and i don't know how

you sleep at night because this is on the record, monica, your daughter is going to look at you and just us because she's going to know and this is going to affect her because people will ask her, why is your mother a racist, so after about 2 hours of public humiliation, the republican officials reached a compromise with their democratic counterparts. now, according to them, they agreed to vote to certify these results, despite their concerns in exchange for the democrats' conduct in an audit afterwards to see what was going on with these irregularities. now the democrats decided not to conduct an audit. they say essentially that that their, their agreement was not have held and they regret certifying the votes. we now have palmer and hartmann saying that they were misled. they have now signed affidavits saying that they rescinded their decision to certify the votes. in wayne county, michigan, vice chairman, gave me sure and says that voting for the certification of the november election would result in

a full and depend on it. it of detroit's unbalanced pressing its. i relied on that assurance and voted to certify the election based on that assurance. later that evening i was sent statements that secretary jewson benson made saying that she did not view our audit resolution to be binding. as a result of this fact, i reset my prior vote to certify wayne county elections. now the legal mechanism by which the votes of wayne county michigan could still be overturned is rather unclear. now the county is considered by the state of michigan to be certified and the decision to certify the entire state of michigan will be carried out on monday by a different committee that would be the board of state canvassers. that committee is split evenly along party lines of republicans and democrats, and it's not clear whether or not these affidavits from the 2 republican poll canvassers in wayne county, michigan will have any effect on that upcoming vote. now at this point, the state of michigan, the lawsuit that was filed by the trumpet,

ministration in the state of michigan has been dropped. they are no longer in a legal battle with the state of michigan. but michigan is not the only place where there were concerns about irregularities, allegations of fraud and concerns raised by the camp across the country. they claim there is a pattern of voter fraud that favored joe biden and secured his victory in the election. and now according to a recent poll, 40 percent of americans believe that the a recent election on november 3rd was tainted by fraud. and at this point, people are looking at the situation in michigan. people are looking it at allegations made around other states and there is widespread concern. now donald trump still maintains that he is going to judgment winner of the election. however, there seems to be a pretty big consensus in us media that joe biden is the winner. the election took place on november 3rd, but yet still there is controversy in the united states surrounding that election. there are legal challenges that remain. there are allegations of fraud being raised

by rudy giuliani and members of trump's team. so at this point, the controversy surrounding the u.s. presidential election has not ended. well, joining me now is face into office founding editor of on my new site, this con, be happening, dave, while i want to sort of pick up on what kate upset that the no one really seems to know what the protocol is. people are attempting to take back that to satisfy the elections. do you think that, that going to succeed and not? no, they're not. and there's a, there is a protocol and the problem is that we've never had this happen before. we've never had this kind of making an endless, endless effort to overturn the vote when the votes are pretty clear. you know, we have a president who said he was going to do this and he's doing it. but it's never

happened before. people are used to it, the president just fired the homeland security director of the program for him, ensuring that there was no, you know, interference with election machines and so on. and yet, the president makes claims that there is a shrug in the machines against all evidence that the, all the lawsuits are losing their, most of them are so bad that the lawyers that the big law firms that were representing the president and his campaign in vs in these lawsuits and quit and now they have like lawyers who don't even know what they're doing, headed by giuliani, who doesn't know what he's doing pretty clearly and is mocked by the judges because events in his incompetence. so it isn't going to happen. but it's, it's making delays and that's what the president wants to do. this is all about not

winning the election. it's about stirring up the base for the election in georgia. they run off of 2 senators. i don't want to ask you that, but now there's 2 republican officials who are now rescinding that right to satisfy the election saying that they were threatened and manipulated that they were promised to know what's up. but than the democrats said, no, we're not going to do. i don't want to it. do you think that that grievances are justified? no. i'm reminded of. i think it was john kerry. it was for something. and before he was against it and then for it, you know, i mean, these guys were not a display in their courage or integrity. you know, they voted against it then when people embarrassed the crap out of them. and as he

saw these foreign threats on their lives, these were shaming the people calling in and sharing that because that, you know, good luck to try to save the 5 percent black and they were willing to say ok, well. 'd we'll just reject the the detroit city limits, but the rest of the county will approve the rest of the county slate. i mean, it was such a blatant racist decision they made, they offered and then they caved and they agreed to certify. and then they got a call from the chair, got a call from president trump, and they turned around and took back there are trying to take back their vote. they can't take their vote because once it's like you know, the decision was made and that they don't have reached take it rescinded in your vote after a vote. so no, it's just going to go on monday to the state in the state makes the final decision anyway, not the county. unfortunately,

it's not so we've got time fulfillment that was david to found to have sort of on line. you cite this compound so much for giving real insight into her. have you why pump a 0 has reiterated the u.s. view that the old people i'd go to new heights are part of the u.s. secretary of state visit to the area state. israel captured the golan heights from syria during the 1967 war and late to annex the territory. last year, the trumpet ministration recognised it as part of its own making the us the only country to do so. but move along with the recognition of jerusalem as the israeli capital was all part of the trump peace plan for the region nicknamed the deal of the century. prime minister, bunch of us know who had some will words for the us into right to president drove the us work, you know, jerusalem as you go into president room to go to suit your food groups

with the truth you have promised to present to notices. recognize israel before we go to the next president wrote these rules for to be reserved for the next president. going to visit israelis deeply grateful for all the president from pump. a also infuriated palestinians by paying a visit to jewish settlements in the disputed west bank and announce a new u.s. initiative to counter the pro palestinian boycott divestment and sanctions movement accusing it of anti-semitism protests put on violent as rioters hold rocks at israeli soldiers. we spoke with 2 foreign affairs on this about who pays visit and how the trumpet ministrations, policies have reshaped the israeli palestinian conflict. some talk about diplomacy and peace. what does it mean for an entire nation of palestinian people who have been dislocated now for a century?

plus. this is horrible for so many millions of families is worse. pompeo is doing is giving the green light in the next few weeks for the hard writing. israel to continue to trample over palestinian self-determination and 16. she needs to go below historical palestinian land in gaza in the west bank. and now these incursions into syria instead of go on heights, i mean, israel's functions as a massive u.s. war base in the middle east, seemingly do whatever they want without any consequences. it's an unprecedented move for any, you know, a high ranking american official on the level of secretary and certainly secretary of state which is the highest in america to come and visit, you know, a community, a settlement in the golan heights. so you know, it is, it is amazing. it is an amazing achievement for, for israel,

the campaign for 2024 is already starting because what they're doing here 1st of all trump shows that he's not giving up the fight. he may, you know, have to concede the election or realize that on january 20th he's going to leave the presidency. but he's not giving up the fight and he keeps working for israel in the middle east, even in this lame duck period where he's not where he's on his way out. and what he does is he sets the stage. so once president biden comes in in january, he either has to reverse these things or he keeps up. well still ahead on the program director at the conflict zone are now heading back home off to a russian break. we'll tell you what about to a much more populous for brains. because

money is something from the 20th century, the 19th century did the price of a perfect perfect price discovery, the perfect market maker between risk and reward between running now in this shilling. seemed wrong to me to be yet to shape out become active and engaged with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves, will the party choose to look for common ground?

welcome back. police have detained. at least 20 protest is in the armenian capital, in an ongoing wave of unrest over a peace agreement with azerbaijan. demonstrators formed a human chain blocking several roads in the center of europe on and putting on prime minister nicole pushing him to resign. police moved in to break up the line. traffic is now moving again. now this follows a week of protests across the newborn, a truce signed last tuesday. so done, deal was brokered by russia and 7 weeks of deadly fighting in the disputed region. many armenians see the treaty as capitulation, as that allows azerbaijan to hold them twits, military gains, including the city of shashi. i mean, you will also have to handover 3 other districts to baku. meanwhile,

refugees are returning to care about russian peacekeepers securing the key highway, connecting the area with all media test of the route himself and brings us this report. one of the things compounding the humanitarian disaster here is the shia ruggedness of these mountainous country for the 10s of thousands of people who fled the fighting for them to return home. they need a safe road, but because of the fighting various segments of the routes to get about under the control of different sides. what the russian peacekeeping mission has been able to do is to make the achaeans key, corridor safe for all these refugees to return. so we went for a very literal test drive to see if it's true afresh. and peacekeepers really had convinced that said by john to let mean refugees written it turned out to be a very cautious dr. the other problem, of course,

is the weather. these late in the year in november, december, it gets increasingly cold, increasingly wet and visibility is down to what? 20 reasons at this point, the roads are treacherous. if you're a refugee, though it isn't the fault you're afraid of. neither is it the bad routes, the end exploded munitions or the bodies of the dead. it's still leaving the scale you just over a week ago. this was a fiercely contested front blood. it still is a frontline in the room no longer contest that the next 19 kilometers off to the sun. held by is headed by judd, through russian mediation. the sides have agreed to let all traffic through unmolested. amini and it's headed by john the military vehicles, civilians or refugees at 1st few willing to trust the other side. we heard that there were azerbaijanis about ambushes here. i didn't know if it was

true or not, but now i know everything is fine here. when am i afraid? of course, i'm not about ready to what is there to fear when you're driving under a russian flag. the situation is that booth side 2 were at war just over a week ago. have to share the same stretch of road and it's up to russian peacekeepers who patrol the road and who is stationed at various points to prevent the 2 sides from taking revenge on civilians or harassing them. it took a lot of work, but russian peacekeepers were successful. new weapons are allowed, not even for as they did by johnny was i mean the troops, everyone searched every vehicle, inspected every weapon, confiscated. here we filmed a small as it is by johnny military convoy pass immediately after because carrying armenian refugees, which by itself was unimaginable 2 weeks ago. you know,

you know, i haven't been home in 15 days, we're going back now. thank you. everything is going fine. thank you, but everything changes. if you would have believed russian peacekeepers and i did it by johnny outposts would be situated metres apart. or that by johnny troops would be barbecuing food and setting the table as armenian refugees returned to carry the city will still need. we have had no difficulty with the neighboring outpost. we have very good relations if they need something, we help them. and if we need something, they help us. everyone's playing by the rules. the ceasefire stands and thousands of people are returning to their homes. their previous lives more, i guess the of from the garden. a car bomb by navy un

refugee agency, is warning of a full scale humanitarian catastrophe. in ethiopia. more than 27000, people have fled to neighboring countries from civil war. in the north government is backing the great people, and gratian front off the accusing it of attacking a military base authorities that north stay military offensive courting the alleged assault and act of treason. it'd be good as women express how many years i've been left, everything contrat working with just our clothes and bags. i was severely beaten and tortured and we were detained for 3 days. we near death from hunger and thirst before they released us. children, adults,

and pregnant women had been shot and thrown into the streets and bitter was 6. after they took control of, they stole all homes. the humanitarian situation on the border between ethiopia and sudan is quickly evolving and it's extremely urgent. in the matter of a week, the u.n. h.c.r. has already recorded more than 30000 refugees who have crossed from ethiopia into sudan. we lost everything our belongings, our livestock, everything. i do not know anything about my children. what does the world not see us now? where will we go? when we just die,

we barely escaped with our lives and away. whoever did not flee will die. that's all from me for today, sean thomas will be here at the top the hour and keep you up to speed over the coming hour. as i hope to see you against the new gold rush is underway and gonna thousands of ill equipped workers are

flocking to the gold fields, hoping to strike it rich. here's a good cause. children are torn between gold. my family was very poor. i thought i was doing my best to get back to school. which side will have the strongest appeal? what can we expect from them by doing ministration, when it comes to russia? as things stand today, relations are brought about by these orbit is replete with hard liners in new york comes with a long record of foreign policy. failure could relations continue to get worse. is your media a reflection of reality? in a world transformed what will make you feel safe?

isolation for community? are you going the right way or are you being led? so direct. what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to descend to join us in the depths or a maybe in the shallows. i am max kaiser, this is the kaiser a 4. remember big golden rule of bitcoin. he don't change bitcoin. bickley changes you stay mad.
