11:01 am
not just with the government is at war with its own people and things seem to be getting hated. the lympics rush and tennis started on the advantage of his challenge during a press conference for the question that was more about politics principal ah hi there. thanks so much for joining us here on the internet. there's little hope the find people still missing after an explosion of a chemical plant in germany on tuesday will be found alive, according to the company that runs the plant. 2 people have already been conferred . death with 130 others injured to oliver reports from the site. well, current, the company, they run the facility just behind me of concern that there was 600 to 900000
11:02 am
liters of industrial solvent at the site in tanks where that explosion and subsequent fire took place on tuesday. now it has been confirmed that at least 2 people have been killed over 30 wounded, a not explosion on the subsequent fire. some of those who are injured are said to be in a very serious condition, but this facility isn't just on the outskirts of the city of labor cruise. and it's pretty much a short walk from the very center of the city that contains over a 160000 people. i spoke to some of those who said they were absolutely terrified when the explosion happened, as it was terrible. i was very scared. i live nearby and i could see everything from my balcony when my windows were rattling from the blast at the start. that was incredibly frightened. then i saw the white glove. at 1st i thought it was a tornado. i was worried. we'll leave here and we know what they make and store here, and there are dangerous chemicals on site. bob and it was about $945.00. we were in
11:03 am
our apartment when we heard a lot extremely loud bang, which it was a container being dropped from a nearby construction side. people came out of the store here. everyone was very concerned. so 1st we didn't see anything but just 10 minutes later there was a huge cloud tiring over the town and i saw the cloud moving away from the city. so that made me less worry less. we took precautions, shut our windows and doors, and all other common sense measures for the concern now is if there is any long term effect from that cloud that people were describing to me. and we've seen on all of the footage from tuesday now the health and environmental protection services off the state of north ryan with volley, weather took place as well as the, the german federal equivalent saw carrying out a lot of all around the clock right now. so far they've said that there's no elevated pollution risk in the area following what happened on tuesday. they
11:04 am
continuing to test the air, but also the soil, the water, the was fallen from the sky as well. precipitation. we actually had an awful lot of rain on wednesday morning. that's all being samples and tests carried out. we're expecting to hear by the end of the week whether there. busy has been any increase pollution risk but at the moment, so it's continuous tests that are taking place shows that there hasn't. but that doesn't mean that there's not massive recall sions in place that's being explicit information given out by the authorities to people in the local area, particularly those who live in the area with soft from the fire fell. they've been told that they're not to eat anything that's come out of that garden, that they're not to allow children to play in play grounds in those areas. you're not supposed to sit on any garden furniture in those areas as well. and if you have a pool in your bike garden, do not use it whatsoever until those samples have being tested. and the all clear has been given particularly what they're looking for here is to do with substances
11:05 am
called cy. options that come from when chlorinated compounds are l burns. and that's exactly the situation we've, heidi is so that they're not taking it lightly as it stands. they're saying there's no elevated risk, but those test continuing to see if there's any long term effects from the fire and the explosion here in labor cruise and an american whistleblowers been sent us almost 4 years in prison for leaking classified information about the article drone program on serving at the bank room base in afghan, this done a decade ago, daniel hale out to identify targets for assassination. when he returned home in 2013, he showed secret details about the drawing program with journalists from the in to set, revealing the true extent of civilian casualties in the middle east and africa. and march have pleaded guilty to linking classified documents that revealed that 90 percent of strikes have actually hit civilians. the start of this strong program
11:06 am
during the obama administration, since that is lost, more than $14000.00 strong strikes enough, gonna stand pakistan yemen. in somali 1000 people have been killed while the 300 children were among the victims. we spoke with whistleblower informing us intelligence officer john kitty anchor, who attend details. sentencing, hearing the mood was one of great apprehension and the court room 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 meet 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,
11:07 am
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 reports that they weren't children for example, they were goats. that is a war crime. and it became a matter of course, it became something that many drone operators and their supervisors were doing at the sentencing hail wrote a letter the details. some of the things he witnessed in his work had included the death of 2 children in one strike. he also slammed the claim of former president obama, that drone killings abroad protect americans. the policy of drone assassination was being used to mislead the public, that it keeps us 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
11:08 am
am a good person deserving of my life and the right to pursue happiness. another well known whistle blower, edward snowden, and commented on the case on twitter condemning the court decision and praising hail got reaction to from brandon bryan to former us during operate himself. food also lifted the lid on what his work involved. he says that in the choice between ignoring civilian killings and making the public, his conscience made up his mind. it's really a war on truth night, just whistle blowers. we've got people that have been propagating this war over in the middle east for almost 2 decades now. the government is at war with its own people. if you get your part of the machine, the car runs this machine. yeah. you have to bear witness for not just some 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,
11:09 am
i have to do this because if i don't do it, who's going to i find it 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 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 a could or has revolts julian the song as his citizenship sang. his original application contained mistakes and saying that he never actually paid the fee required. he's naturalization status was put under review in 2019, not long after the police forcibly removed him from the embassy in london songs for 7 years that seeking refuge flooring, sex songs. allegations made in sweden, they've now been dropped, says removal. it's been held at
11:10 am
a high security british prison waiting for a court decision on a us extradition request. sanchez wanted by us authorities on espionage charges and faces potentially a 175 years in prison. we can switch co found this, publish 1000 classified files a decade ago, exposing us war crimes in iraq and afghanistan. we spoke with a son, his lawyer who says ecuador decision district, his client of citizenship is illegal. this was developing according to a pre plan scenario. after astonished, lost his diplomatic asylum from ecuador imprison lenny moreno needed to somehow justify the invasion of british police at the embassy. and the only possibility was just to deprive julian, his orange of ecuador in citizenship, which is against ecuador in legislation. so it would be a good or in foreign ministry council, the soldiers naturalization, so that the bridge is police, could enter the embassy. they needed to show that he was not in ecuador incentives . and at the time, since the during constitution prohibits the extradition of its citizens to
11:11 am
a 3rd country, this was deliberately wrong, a legal, unjust, and contrary to the constitution and human rights, they simply followed this unworthy scenario. they, by exposing ecuador in the extremely unfavourable light. the trial against the thorns is a political one. not only that in the decision to revoke sanchez citizenship, they rely solely on a report verified by a former state official who's currently accused of corruption and atrocities underway against de 6 of the took care lympics. and the precious seems to be rising. russian tennis thought that he motivated, flashed out the question he was given during a press conference that he felt was a warranted question and an inappropriate one. and it came right after his latest, when the lexia shasky has not he would think that the olympic games to something only about sports where the athletes have been preparing for all their lives to take part in this ultimate event for many athletes across the world. but this time,
11:12 am
it's starting very political. every time an athlete from russia is appearing at a press conference or after winning a medal a he or she is being tested with questions about the doping scandals of the past and about why russia is allowed to participate in the olympics at all. so was the case of worlds. number 2 in tennis, then you'll meet the idea of who just won his game and unbearably hot conditions. it was very humid and very, very hot on the court. he almost collapsed at one point even, and the questions were directed to him were not about the situation. he faced all the court. but one journalist came over and asked whether mitigated felt that russia's participation in the olympics was cheating in itself. madrid came up with a very sharp response. first time in my life, i'm not going to answer a question. you should be embarrassed if itself, i think you should. why are him from the olympics? i don't want to see him again. the international federation responded that it will lot ban this journalist
11:13 am
a journalist have the right to off questions. but speaking of the question, this is not the 1st time this is happening. as i said to athletes representing russia, media gifts, calling china also said the same that he's been tested with questions about the doping scandals of the past. and i'd like to remind you of you was that russia's participation in the tokyo olympics. this time is very much limited because of the doping scandals of the path because the world anti doping agency, effectively band, russia and it's symbolic. strom taking part in major competitions across the planet for 4 years. russia won the appeal in the costs in the court for arbitration of sports, and thus the country was allowed to take part in the olympics under the name r o c. this is an acronym for the russian olympic committee, but even that name and full cannot be used. it's just r o c. and this is something that russian athletes and the russian elliptic committee have been observing since day one of the olympic games. even the opening
11:14 am
rest conference at the tokyo olympics, it last about an hour 20 minutes long, 45 minutes of which was dedicated to russia's participation under a different name in the olympic games this time. and despite all that, despite all this pressure coming from all side, because not only kind of plant, but obviously the athletes and all other disciplines are being asked questions like that, trying to ignore them all the time. despite all that, russia or the r o c. if you may, it's performing very well right now. it stands for, and the overall metal stable nearing on its 20th metal in the olympics and day 6. and that is something that's many journalists, but sickly. those sports related not politics related, cannot avoid. and they note that russia is performing or the r o c is performing while at the olympic pressure is coming on. social media. we seem sort of the lonely or the media symbol. when there were questions being asked about her medication, people started asking questions,
11:15 am
medication. she didn't seem to be doing so well identify since she pulled those katie mental health, which, you know, most likely that she was getting was taking what people just it's dennis accentuated and that's kind of home with then she's, there was a mention of, well, she's been beaten by the ocean girls like the former girls, people a version, it was really weird thing to put in a diesel by, you know, let's just say journalists from the usa that i will respect what they're asking these questions. they would never before the criminal and strongly refusing claims made by us president joe biden. the russia intends to interfere in the 2022 congress elections. the russian president spokesman also said that moscow in washington could hardly be called partners today. russia has never interfered in us electoral processes. the results of many investigations conducted in the u. s. confirm that russia certainly does not, and has no intention of meddling in any electoral processes in foreign states. if
11:16 am
you haven't noticed, it's hardly possible to cold russia and the u. s. partners now rather, there are opponents with whom we negotiate. ot stone court is following this story for his don. it's aggressive stuff, the response they're coming from the the kremlin. they're essentially not friends anymore, and we just sort of like manage each other. we handle each other to the, to the best that we can. is there any evidence to back up these predictions if russia will interfere? well, i mean, it seems like never ending deja vu to be honest, we have another us election here and more baseless accusations of russian meddling . i mean, we heard from moscow, they outright rejected those claims because the only thing we have to go by with them is basically buttons word i think we also need to take on the rapid disinformation. russia is doing already about the 2022 elections and this
11:17 am
information to pure a violation of our sovereignty. now, barton was apparently given this information by the us intelligence community, as at his daily meeting. again, without any evidence that we know of at least it's being claimed that russia is intent on meddling and in the u. s. mid term elections that are going to take place next year. now at that time, the entire house of representatives and a 3rd of the senate are going to be up for grabs. so that really makes you think, you know, it take, it's going to take a lot for someone to see how radically rig elections on a scale like that, you know, but anyway, but, and also specifically called our president russian president vladimir putin. so let's take a listen to what he said. when i was with mister prune, who has a real problem, he is sitting on top of an economy that has nuclear weapons and oils and nothing else. he knows, he knows he's in real trouble,
11:18 am
which makes me more dangerous. in my view, it's pretty weird biden would say that though, because washington, i mean, has nearly the same amount of nuclear weapons as russia does, making it just as dangerous as moscow in that department. so why is russia in trouble? i mean, the entire situation really just seems like hostile rhetoric coming from across the atlantic and at a very, it's very timely as well. because remember, just last month there was a summit between joe biden and vladimir putin. well, interesting management and rhetoric that let's bring in chadwick more, he's a journalist and commentator to get some analysis on this one shudder. well, could we just talk about the rhetoric there and, and given that they did just have this summit, the 2 world leaders are you surprised have such aggressive claims? and that's the interesting thing that claims how you can possibly back those up without producing evidence to support the info, the, supposedly, the hon. these claims. surely that's going to put relations on a, on
11:19 am
a pretty bad standing if there was already yeah, it is extremely half the rhetoric it's, i mean, i can't even actually say at the pricing because the democrat party, the democrat media has been pushing that's fake russia hope for many, many years they've invested hundreds of millions of dollars in the bank, req. helped. 1000000000 dollars in pre p r through their media outlets like cnn, the new york times. and with another electric coming up there figuring why not just continue on that investment. what's really interesting is, we don't know what is russian medley or interference. well, it's not happening. boating, machine. we know from the party that is absolutely 100 percent, impossible to do according to them and their life collection. so what is this misinformation campaign and who decide what is real information and what is false information? how is it a violation if, if he's talking about, i don't know like trolls in russia, i s p address recreating people. how is my lation of american sovereignty
11:20 am
and the party that is built on absolute misinformation? this ridiculous show trial. i mean, we don't, you can write a library of books are being done already at light about and been caught lying about in the last 4 years alone. what is misinformation? well, it took the democrat already says they don't like. and that apparently is what, what is being its user? anything that makes democrat already look bad. it's amazing. they don't just say republican, this information, that's what they really mean. and, but once again, it's anything that already does it like misinformation. and due to that, she is now willing to strain relations with russia, a country that i would say most americans would probably like to see good relations with american don't like democrat or republican. don't like having a house or relations around the world. we would like to be partners with people
11:21 am
around the world, even if you have more of an american 1st agenda, you would still like to be a nice terms with everyone, especially nation like russia. so if you, whether you're trying to, whether you just use, whether you're trying to, to gin up the base, whether he's trying to prepare for massive loss in 2022 and something to blame it on is unclear. it's bizarre rhetoric, there's no evidence, no one buying the rush or hopes anymore. and if you want to talk about misinformation, he really needs to look at the tech he needs to look at is own party and their media. they're mainstream media by middle. so said that all but russia have says, basically said it's a crumbling economy, all it's got his nukes, and oil d, u. s. is also quite involved with, with nukes and, and all is a little bit of hypocrisy that i think he's trying to make. it's a strange argument because he's saying that russia doesn't have anything going for
11:22 am
them except for nuclear weapons, which doesn't really help the economy in any way. why would russia then be a threat to united states? what would, how is russia going to benefit from the united states by interfering the election? how's that can help their commie isn't really laid that out. and so it's a strange argument. i don't really know if you know, of course, russia and news news, many countries around the world news. i don't know what that has to do with anything. i don't know if he's trying to trying to say russian desperate will. how is whoever wins the election went up russia home? i mean, biden's been, it's more, as i know, we have the pipeline approved. i don't think that vitamins ration has been particularly damaging to russia into russia economy. so it's a strange statement. he would make well chadwick bite and said that i had some quote, real problems. but i mean, isn't it safe to say the united states has its own? i mean, there's right now ramp and inflation the,
11:23 am
the pandemic really isn't really under control in the united states. why isn't bite and focusing on those issues? well, because it makes it look bad clearly, and of course the united states as many, many problems now. and now we've just been spun down this hole that people are going to have to start matching up again with the vaccine are not working or maybe working your master working everything is a cluster. it's so confusing, no one knows what's going on. and so it looks like he's deflecting, he's trying to get attention away from, with crumbly, things happening in this country. if you want to talk about geopolitical adversaries where china, ok, obviously doesn't really talk about china that often. and i don't think many americans see russia as a threat, nor would they like to new russia as a threat. but of course, when, when is waiting for new poking out today, it's the lowest approval ratings of his presidency. so of course he's deflecting and why not the reliable good man from
11:24 am
a cold war era and go back to russia. that seems to be where my mind is not many people think very sharp to begin with when you're doing, appreciate you coming on. thanks for your time and your thoughts chadwick more august, journalist and commentator. thank you. chicago back laurie light for says that she isn't sorry for her decision to give interviews only to non white report because i think that it's has triggered a much needed but i would absolutely do it again. i'm in a paula jack about it because it's 3rd, very important conversation. the conversation that needed to happen, that should have happened a long time ago. now the murder fund. also notice i should say that maybe conferences are dominated by white reporters and says that it's high time atlas reflected the makeup of u. s. society. she's being sued over stance by
11:25 am
a report of, of the daily cooler thomas can not. she argues that she's violating the basic principles of freedom in the price in the city of portland, on the 1st on the chicago masculine to $5.00, her racial policies last month, lightfoot declared racism a public health crisis and bound to allocate nearly $10000000.00 of cofi relief money to improving the wellness of non white communities in chicago. meanwhile, the critics also accused or failing to bring gun violence on the control of the past weekend to load. almost 30 people was shot in chicago, 7 of them dying. and i'm joined on the line now, but christopher harris, who's the executive director of an hyphenated america. i appreciate you coming on christopher. obviously a sensitive subject. if you think about the definition of racism, discriminating against a person based among other things on the skin color, it kind of look slight textbook racism when you refuse to give interviews to people because of the skin color is, is this race is behavior by the muskogee it's
11:26 am
a poxy, we can just run on down the line and all the people out there, whether it's the elected officials like laurie lightfoot, or other people in the media who are out there trying to gin up race for. let's just count down like foot partner, if you will, is a white male or female or whatever may identify as they're clearly white. let's see . we can talk about don limited. yeah, his partner is white. we could look at the band jones partners. wait, we can look at the, our vice president right here is she talks about race and get her partner is white . we can look at alexander across the cortez, her partners wake, johan. omar. are partners wait? i mean, it just goes on and on down the line. but yet these are the people who are constantly telling you how racist america is. and all that is a slight of hand to try to, to just to distract you from the things that are not working with their public
11:27 am
policies. like the idea ology isn't, is, or ideology is a real things because they are ideas that lead to actions, right? actions produce results, results or measurable or discernible. they're measurable, they can be evaluated. and when you look and say ok, you had this idea that you put into action in the public policy. how has it work? what have been the results of it? and we can look in chicago, which has been a raging dumpster fire for a long time, but i me, i just looked at 66 people shot in chicago since july 25th, 7 of them died. so you know, public health crisis. how about focusing on president trump offered assistance, federal assistance to help camp down on the crime? and she was not interested at all, but now she's saying, oh, maybe we need to as president by to bring in federal system. this is all slight of hand. it's all smoking mirrors. yeah, i mean, you talked about several problems there that, that need addressing. racism, obviously. cove, it's still
11:28 am
a major issue going violence. so many things we to tackle 1st. but in terms of the financial assistance that been provided, the covert relief money. surely was meant to help with the problems caused by cobra, yet that's being used by lightfoot to improve the welfare of non want communities as well. meaning is that certainly sounds? is that the correct way to be using that funding? oh, they're constantly misusing abusing funds. i mean, just to give you an idea of where the u. s. federal government is and where our economy is, and we're roughly at $21.00 trillion dollar economy. right. and the federal government alone, for example, took in just over, i think roughly $3.00 trillion dollars in tax money. but they spent in additional over $3.00 trillion dollars deficit. spinning it's no different with people. i, laurie lightfoot, they've never met a tax that they didn't like. they've never been able to say, oh no, we don't need that additional money will always find
11:29 am
a need for they have an insatiable appetite for your money. we have an insatiable appetite for control over there. for man and 9 times that attend the misuse or abuse, it does not go for the purpose of what the said it was going to go for and look at the results. the black community or somebody say the african american community is one of the ones that suffers the most by continuing to vote for people like laurie lightfoot in for the party that she represents. because it just leads to more swirling around the toilet. that's essentially what ends up happening in the black community. nothing has gotten better in the black community over the last 50 years as a result of continuing bullying for the democratic party. you mentioned the problem with gun violence, especially even just last few weeks has been a space of death. you would have thought that someone who served as the president of the congo police board would have a lot to bring to the table and tackling that problem. why not seemingly improving? well, you would assume that somebody actually has good intentions. i don't believe that
11:30 am
anyway long says stop believing that people like glory light would actually have good intention there in there for power, power in control over their fellow man. that's the only reason they're in office. once again, the results of their ideology has been implemented in public policy. are clear. they're raging dumpster fire, everything they do, everything they've done has actually hurt those people that they say they want to help the most. i mean, there's no doubt that they do an amazing job of saying that they care about the poor, downtrodden, african american community. but what have the results been? there's been no good and it's not about guns. it's truly about culture because you have other places that have just as high of gun ownership rates and they're not having like the wild west like it is in chicago. it's a culture thing. it is 100 percent. a culture thing in that culture is actually fed, it's probably a wildfire, but it's actually fed by left us regressive socialist ideology.
