people are injured. the cause of the exclusion remains well known. are europe correspondent, peter oliver, can tell us more from the scene just before 10 o'clock in the morning on tuesday when there was an explosion at the chemical park just behind me here. ah, it's been a huge clue of black float into the sky, could be seen for miles and miles around and caused huge panic amongst local residents. now, 2 people have confirmed to being killed the site following the explosion. and the subsequent fire over 30 people were injured, some of those and a very serious condition. there is also 3 people who remain missing following this
4:03 am
explosion and fire the chaos which it caused well is still being felt. many hours after the fire itself was put out. it took fire services 3 hours to do that. they were on the scene very quickly. hundreds of fire and police services on the scene, but it did take as they say over 3 hours for them to put bad out the traffic chaos that it is caused around the area here of labor crews. and it's still all going. it's right in the evening now on tuesdays and speaking to you. a lot of the roads around here all still very much heavily under diversions. this area in lay the crews and just to the north of the huge german city of cologne is incredible. hope for traffic, but also incredibly important when it comes to the chemical industry. this is one of the main centers for chemical giants of germany like via and laxness. now it was
4:04 am
this facility that they are connected to as well. this particular area dealt with the disposal of the waste. now there's still no word on exactly what could have caused this explosion and fire, much of what is just over my shoulder a little bit further beyond those initial buildings has been destroyed by that. and it seems that the investigation in see what cause this will go on for a while now. now there was huge concern in the immediate aftermath that something could have been put into the atmosphere, which would have caused grave danger to the millions of people that live in this part of germany. it's the most densely populated parts of the country. this area of north run with volume takes in the major cities not only of lay the cruise in the load dusseldorf and the plume of smoke. the effects from the plume of smoke were felt as far away to the north west as in utah as well. no people were told
4:05 am
initially get inside, keep your windows and doors close and that was while tests were being carried out to see if there was anything toxic in the air. it took a few hours before the emergency services to determine that there was no immediate risk. but this has certainly given a huge shock to the people of this area. and it has been an incredibly tragic incident. so those people working the cam park, the people behind it, the people responsible for this facility, expressing their condolences for the dead as people looking to try and determine what exactly caused this tragedy to take place here in germany. just staying with this story, local authorities warn the situation, pose, quote, an extreme threats while colleges fear toxins may have been released into the atmosphere. among the reaction we got to this was from senior lecture and environmental sustainability and green technology. dr. sharon george,
4:06 am
who sees it's vital to find out fast what actually was discharged during the incident can show it and she but it's not just the issue that the contamination that you can see. it's not contamination that you can't say this, the what the blacks might, they can see in particular that that is gonna travel quite a distance from the side itself. so that was where the bad thing is. what we're concerned about is not just the immediate, the immediate range, and this is why the event just so significant because it's close to those populated areas. so we're going to have this pollution spreading a long way going fast. so to the dog, it's going to be a gas in the other day. and also when he does settle, it may then move again, if he's soluble of waynes, and then they will travel again. the challenge here is to figure out exactly what
4:07 am
is being disperse and then to figure out how to contain it, and as to make sure that it's not have to people say no former us diplomat in mexico has admitted for more than 14 years. he'd been drugging and then raping numerous women. he pleaded guilty to filming at least 23 victims and could spend the rest of his life behind bars. but despite the scandal, the stories gone largely unnoticed by the american media. with more than that, you're stall, quarter sexual abuse is committed over a decade and 6 countries against drug to victims and documented in hundreds of videos and photos taken without consent. that's what a former worker at the u. s. embassy in mexico has just pleaded guilty to lose. i
4:08 am
i use brian. jeffrey raymond is now on trial back at home in the us, having worked for his government for 23 years in various missions across the world . other than that, we don't know much about his diplomatic career. the f. b, i launched an investigation into him after he abruptly left to mexico last year, shortly after a nude woman was seen screaming for help from the balcony of his mexico city apartment. she says she doesn't remember what happened the night before, except that he'd offered her food and drinks. eventually, the federal agents obtained warrant to search his home in the u. s. and was able to comb through his electronic devices, leading to a number of serious charges in march 2020, approximately 2 months before his interaction with a v 7 raymond also text the same friend mentioned above about having sexual
4:09 am
intercourse with 8989. he's a resident of mexico and primarily spanish speaker. he text to the same friend that he had to pay for a new birth for 89. an express that he was annoying, but ultimately worth while because he was able to have sex with her. raymond could face life in prison if convicted and the justice department is adamant on sending a tough message. brian raymond betrayed the trust, grunted to him as a u. s. government employee represent in the united states abroad by engaging gears of predatory conduct sexually abusing exploiting and recording vulnerable women. he targeted in the united states and around the world as demonstrated by raymond's prosecution and plea, the department of justice and his law enforcement partners will use all of the tools that are disposal to hold accountable those who victimized women. despite the severity of the allegations, the confessions, and the potential impact on america's global reputation for some reason, the mainstream media is not talking much about this story. i wonder why mainstream
4:10 am
media completely ignored the story as big as that that becomes what, what we would call all over the world propaganda. where your media, your news reporting had become an arm of a political party or a political factions. we have to rely on for media outlook on anybody else on regular civilian here in the us trying to post definitely stories like this because that is public interest. much of the questions regarding did the f b. i know about the how many years to date of the rug and still allow security clearance. people top secret clearance to go through for the person knowing what they knew. i mean, are they, in essence responsible? i mean, in a court of law with a climate this magnitude, if somebody knew about this and allowed the person to continue perpetuating these criminal act by staying into that condition,
4:11 am
they'd call that aiding and abetting. they would call it that. they would call that either conspiracy and knowledge to commit this act, or at the very least $1880.00, and a felon. and so these are things that we need to know. an american whistleblower has been sentenced to almost 4 years in prison for leaking classified information about america's drone program while serving up the by grim or a bass enough. get this down a decade ago. daniel hale helped identify targets for assassination when he returned home in 2013, he shared secret details about the drone program, with journalists from the intercept, revealing the true extent of civilian casualties in the middle east and africa. in march he pleaded guilty to leaking classified documents. we spoke to whistleblower and former us intelligence officer john terry aka, who attended have sentencing. during the mood was one of great apprehension and the
4:12 am
courtroom was packed for daniel hale. it was all quite dramatic, but we were apprehensive because we really didn't have any indication of which way the judge was going to go. and then he surprised everyone by clearing the courtroom and sealing it for 2 hours. while the justice department argued in a classified venue for a sentence of 9 years to me, the fair verdict would have been to, to, for the judge to come off the bench, shake his hand, thank him for his service to the country and let him go home to his family, i didn't think he deserved any prison time at all because he revealed a crime that was being committed by the u. s. government, the crime of, of the murder of innocent civilians. these are war crimes when, when we know that civilians are within the strike rage, that makes it a crime when we kill civilians and then put in the official report that they weren't children for example, they were go. that is a war crime and it became
4:13 am
a matter of course, it became something that many drone operators and their supervisors were doing. also worth noting here ahead of his scent and sing, he wrote a last for detailing some of the things he'd actually witnessed during the course of his work, including the death of 2 children in one strike. he also slum the claim of former president obama. the room killings abroad, protected americans. the policy of drone assassination was being used to mislead the public that it keeps the safe. whenever i encounter an individual who thinks that drove warfare is justified and reliably keeps america safe, i remember that time and ask myself how i could possibly continue to believe that i am a good person deserving of my life and the right to pursue happiness. me strode circle 24 hours a day and delivering that from the skies. i have turned most of the muslim world against us. it's been completely counterproductive and i think hail understood that
4:14 am
and he sought to inform the american public. but we can't have a debate. we don't know the truth and we know the truth about drones because of the courage of daniel. and it's not just about going after someone like hale, it's really a kind of a death blow to the press itself because it prohibits the press from shining a light on the inner workings of ours. it's really the misuse of the espionage act which has been continued. another well known whistleblower edward snowden has commented on the case on twitter. he condemned the court's decision and praised hale. we got reaction as well from brandon, brian, a former us to an operator who also lifted the lid and what his work involved. he sees in the choice between ignoring civilian killings and making the public were his conscience, made up his mind. it's really a war on, through the nicest whistleblowers. we've got people that have been propagating this
4:15 am
war over in the middle east for almost 2 decades. now. the government is at war with its own people. if you can't, you're part of the machine. the car runs this machine. yeah. you have to bear witness for it. not just an unfeeling part of the machine you're dealing. and eventually you have to find yourself in the middle of that storm and be like, you know this. i have to do. i have to do this because if i don't do it, who is going to, i find is strange that conscientious individuals that are inside the program that are trying to hold us accountable for the obvious blayton war crimes that we ourselves are doing are being punished and it seems that they are punishing people in order to make them an example. and that really does disturb me, especially if america is supposed to be this great country and freedom fighter amongst the world. how we're punishing our own people who are trying to do the
4:16 am
still ahead and rti international a u. s. commission into january the capitol hill, rides the slum by critics, for lack of impartiality that those most of those taking part are well known for their trump use. we picked on the story more besides in 90 seconds, unco ah ah, with me ah!
4:17 am
ah, i use join me every 1st day on the alex simon show. when i was speaking to guests in the world, the politics sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then in the moon, the ah hello again, tuesday. so the 1st hearing of a special us congressional panel tough with investigating the capitol hill right
4:18 am
back in january. emotions are running high during the session. although it seems not everyone was convinced by the words, heard with some viewers, even calling it up. for me it's you know, democracies are not defined by our bad days. were defined by how we can backs and bang the bad days. how we take accountability for that. i have faith because of folks like you and i am, i don't expect this will be quite social either, but it must be an atom a thing to day while the special commission consists of lawmakers from both parties . but critics claim their minds were already made up with most known further update trumpet fuse ortiz kill up. i've been, is following developments as congress here is testimony about the events of january 6. it seems we've been hearing both police officers and politicians crying their
4:19 am
eyes out. i was assaulted in nearly killed. i lost my life. there was a very good chance i would be torn apart. this is how i'm going to die. defending the sanctions. the indifference shown to my colleagues is disgraceful. some are looking at this panel and saying it's simply impartial. we're not hearing both sides. the story, questions about about what kind of went wrong and whether or not the capital police allowed the protesters to enter. if they made a mistake or, or if somehow doors were left on guarded, what exactly happened? people are looking at. this is saying it's not an impartial hearing. it's speaker the house nancy pelosi was being widely blamed for the fact that we can rational committee investigating the january 6 events which is convening today's hearing. contains only anti trump, republicans. it is a bipartisan panel, but there are no trump supporters represented on it. there are simply anti trump democrats, as well as anti trump. republicans,
4:20 am
this seems to be what congress is focusing on at the moment. amid surging coven cases, continued migrant serge on the us border, rising inflation and poll saying that more than half the countries say things are moving in the wrong direction. that is not what congress is focusing on. rather, they have decided to re live and rehash the events of january 6th on capitol hill. well, democrats are worried. they're facing mid term elections. the economies in the toilet, the covey just threatened to come back, we're told, and they have to do something to demonize their enemies. and that's what they're doing. that's pretty unprecedented. that the republican liter kevin mccarthy is choices to sit on. the committee were rejected. certainly doesn't suggest that it's a bipartisan committee. the 2 people that pillows he chose instead of them are to who voted to impeach trumpet that serves the purpose. the purpose of this is not to get to the bottom of what happened on january 6. i don't support people who do violence, people who attack police officers, of course they should be prosecuted. but let's not forget in the summer of 2020 in
4:21 am
just one so called protest in front of the white house. 60 secret service agents were hurt or injured by george lloyd writers. we never had these gut wrenching hearings like this crying in front of the cameras, which we saw. kids are good to and others do it today for them. i have that i am not a trump voter. i am not a republican, but it's very clear what this is about to be. it's a show trial is to establish a narrative and it's very, very ugly. swiss prosecutor is how dropped a decade long investigation into suspected russian money laundering due to lack of evidence. the ruling ends the case which was open following allegations by the hermitage, capital management investment fund. it's co founder bill broader was later convicted of tax evasion in russian. my colleagues eager, she's olive and worry. so she discussed the case earlier. the investigation has not
4:22 am
revealed the evidence that will justify charges being brought against any one in switzerland. the decision has therefore been taken to close the proceedings was a very long investigation into what was suspected to be a dirty money scheme that was run by the russian officials between 20082010. that was the allegation. and like, in every case, there's a plaintiff under the and the defendant. so russia was supposed to be on the receiving end of justice. and the plaintiff was the hermitage capital fund, which was found headed by bill brown brown. and his fund 4 years, they were investing into russia. in fact, the fund was the largest for an investor into the country. and so proud of claimed he was defrauded. and he accused russian officials in siphoning off $230000000.00 through like fake tax checks and so on and so forth. so,
4:23 am
and switzerland was alleged to be the main conduit for this dirty money scheme. william brown, how did he receive this news? one might expect not very well. well, that's a very good guess because he didn't. in fact, getting russia was his and still is his magnum opus. he's obsessed with it. i mean, go in his twitter page. his content is almost exclusively focused on russia. how it is evil, how it is corrupt, and all these magnets key laws act. and some of us must have heard of the so called like magnet ski act, or magnetic lose. and all that at ray of legislation that the west and like you in the us are saying targets will corrupt officials, mainly in russia. for example, this kamisky actin list all these, all this array of legislation. it was named after the former employee of bill brown . so this statement of his doesn't really come as a surprise. swiss prosecutors drop money laundering,
4:24 am
inquiry and magnet ski case. this happened after one of their key officials was court taking bribes from the russians to do just this, a very dog staying on switzerland. in all seriousness though, he blames william william brown blames this on corrupt on a corrupt, swiss official, essentially accusing him almost directly and blatantly of derailing the investigation. and indeed, the several, several swiss officials, they were accused of getting like gifts from russia, and it was alleged that they were doing so in exchange to well discussing this investigation. but this is only happening lately, but even half way through this probe, the prosecutors, they did alert build brown, that the case is going nowhere, that it is falling apart. and that if know if nothing new comes up, if no new information comes up, they will have no other choice but to close it and to say what they've said right now, what they've said just a couple of hours ago that there was no evidence to implicate switzerland to prove
4:25 am
that switzerland took played any role in this. and remember switzerland was supposed to be the main conduit in this whole scheme. so if the main conduit doesn't really work, if it, if it has not, if it in reality had nothing to do with the scheme than what to make of others or from pennsylvania state senator and lawyer. bruce marx has questions about the group who brought the case and its creator bill about broader vision, all the criminal activity. ready in russia, the 1st lawsuit that i brought in russia and it was again, still broader on behalf of russia companies b s m, b o. b. because he was involved in a massive money laundering campaign that diverted monies from to russian company, which i'm aware of because i represented b s, m, p o. and the other thing that they found i should add, is that they found that her montage. so which was
4:26 am
a company that bill broader control wasn't harmed by the activity. and so it dismissed her montage as a, you know, as a claimant in switzerland. ok. some extraordinary world, whether updates, versions of national guard members have been mobilized in california to help bustle, fierce wildfires. they'll exist at 22000 firefighters, no attempting to bring the situation under control tinder dry conditions resulting for most of your drive. i've seen the fire spread rapidly, with some experts warning the worst is still ahead and late summer under early autumn. the way another country hit hard by was far as greece were ablaze. described does one of the biggest nations experience in the past 30 years. as a gulf and area close to the country's capital, a number of houses have been destroyed and several villages evacuated.
4:27 am
perhaps the most extraordinary footage of all dramatic scenes in china. some storm hearing golfing an entire city in the north west of the country, towering in it 100 meters in height. it turned the sky yellow and reduced visibility to just a few meters, causing havoc for drivers on local roads. you're the one that is there mid week news run down for now, but don't go too far. we've got another great program ready to hit your screens. in moments by for the much of history is about patterns that are ebbs and flows of political passions. most of the time these passions are negotiated through compromise. other times there is people violence and even separation. the idea of succession today is not
4:28 am
far fetch. we are witnessing a cultural session and separation couldn't go even further long. when i would show the wrong, why don't just don't the room yes to see out the thing because the attitude and engagement it was the trail. when so many find themselves will depart and we choose to look for common ground the, [000:00:00;00]
