[000:00:00;00] the the a mod kobus kept things in the job and capital the sentence into may had with protest this crashing with police has just found them down to the instructions. i made a post wave of infection as well says it now has proof that around on thursday i talked to tank off the coast of oman, killing to israeli prime minister called it a reminder of iranian aggression. however wrong adamantly denies the claim. also in the store is a shape a week. a case of negligent homicide is no one stopped her huge player's not

a key chemical plant and johnny killed 5 people environmental greenpeace, along describing the full swim type one. and here the main question arises, isn't an acceptable to place this as it were a powder keg? me a large settlement and american whistle blow daniel held sentence almost 4 years in jail for leasing information on us. right. and we have from other schools. so follow that conscience and shad state when we kill civilians and then put in the official reports that they weren't children for example, they were go. that is a war crime. it's really a war on truth. not just with the government is our war with its own people. ah, hello and welcome. this is of course our teams national and it is the week piece. we're taking a look and recapping the top stories of the last 7 days and,

and welcome while getting started the sour clashes, how they wrapped it in central berlin, a thousands of covert skeptics gathered to protest long running restrictions with police detaining nearly 500 demonstrators. and sonya day since city need is bond such radi over the rest called spreading to virus. the ah, ah, ah, the it was a very chaotic day today. here in bowling lot of protests were announced, protest against the corona measures, measures of the german government. all of these protests have been forbidden by the

german police and later on by the course. but still, the protest just came into the city and they came in high numbers. nobody knows exactly how many protests have happened today, but they were in to 1000. the protesters had not point together everywhere in the city. they were police tech police and they sent the people back to no protest could together for the protest of gather fossil away from the point where they wanted to start their protest. they never gathered at one point, they were scratched all over the city and walking and small, little not just trying to get me. you see goals are down the final destination today for the protest. when the protest reach this point, the police came up with water cannons and threatened to protest to use those war tenants. we witness a lot of us, we didn't count them a lot of us. and sometimes they looked at the auditors, the police just went into the crowd and arrested some people they arrested, some musicians, they arrested old people, young people,

they arrested hippies. everybody who just total weight seem to be arrested. and sometimes these arrest, well, pretty violently. while junk, clinical patient has certainly told us little thorough teams have taken no issue with similar gatherings that didn't challenge the policies some of the most. well, the most content tracked down on positions in germany, the receipt and reading memory trace and not housing. the government are allowed to go forward and even how the government organized by government coalition to be in the middle of today only the we're holding, we're taking today meeting where the german government, the berlin regional government allow much of

a time over 80 people last weekend for one of your lots of game parade, to be held in the street, the berlin classification of the mayor. and of course, the police are not cracked out on the backend. and what are we wearing? they were kissing and the 3 is there, i am the german. but so in the same way the proud of the today should have the ability to take care. ryan, read him off of family and thought that the b e in there in the journal got an explosion. i say major chemical plan also in germany killed 5 people with 2 more still missing pace have opened a case of negligent homicide. and tuesday's incident initial investigation suggests there is no risk to public health from toxins, with more detailed tests expected in the coming days. while the site is actually one of the largest chemical parts and all of europe, employing $13000.00 workers more than $5000.00 chemicals were manufactured at the area,

including elements for production of explosives. greenpeace has voiced concern over the impact of the situation is very difficult from a chemical point of view. it is really possible to imagine the huge catastrophe. we have a plan for the insinuation of hazardous waste. that is precisely those substances that for obvious reasons should not tend to the environment they're collected and burned. and it is such a plans that have now suffered an explosion. it was these substances which should not be in the environment that reacted with each other, burned up and spread in these clouds of gases throughout the region. and we know that the inhabitants did not know what they might be exposed to the explosion on the subsequent fire. if the incineration plan just behind me, residents were initially told to remain inside, keep that windows and doors closed. a tentative all clear was given following tests that were carried out by the state and federal environmental protection services.

those tests to be looking at the quality of the, the soil as well as looking at re, was set that fallen from cloud sort of been in contact with the huge plume of smoke . the enemy emanated from the facility just behind me say they've reported so far, no elevated levels of pollution. but authorities have also said that they're pretty sure that talks and were released into the atmosphere following this fire and explosion. now we have seen a lot of messages being given out to people in the local area, warning them not to say anything that's being grown in their gardens, in the nearby area. also telling people not to allow children to use playgrounds, don't sit in garden furniture or anybody that has a swimming pool in there by god. not to use that either. there's also the warnings about making sure the landed. now, despite these warnings being given out, activists of sold off, see that while a number of people still unsure what they should be doing to uncertainty

to rein people wrote to me asking whether they can go out in the garden and whether we will take more samples and this worries me, most of all the people, the dog, and this is not only the fault of the enterprise. after all, the main problem is that no one knows what substances have reacted and what actually happened. and here the main question arises, is it an acceptable to place this as it were? powder tags, near large settlements, life has pretty much returned to normal and leave a cruise and i'm the surrounding area. we've had condolences being offered to the families of those that died as well as praise for emergency services and rescue is who are on the scene so quickly. but a lot of people looking towards that information we're expecting to hear about long term effects. that could be that this is the most densely populated area of germany . a lot of people living in the nearby surrounding not just of labor crews and but also cities like cologne in the why the area of north run with fall. a

whistleblower in the us has been sentenced almost 4 years in prison for leaking classified information about amera because drone program, while solving out the background base in afghanistan a decade ago. daniel hale helps identify targets for fascination when he returned home in 2013, he shared secret details about that dream program with journalist from the intercept online news site, revealing the true extent of civilian casualties in the middle east and africa. and mark hail pleaded guilty to leaking classified documents, which revealed that 90 percent of strikes have actually hit civilians. the us run top, it's thrown program during your bomb administration since that has launched more than $14000.00 strikes and nations like afghanistan packed on yemen, somalia, thousands have been killed with more than $300.00 children among the victims. we spoke to whistleblower and former us intelligence officer john korea who in the

week who attended actually hail sentencing hearing the mood was one of great apprehension and the 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 court room 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 a matter of course, it became something that many drone operators and their supervisors were doing. the head of the sentencing hail wrote to the court detailing some of the things he witnessed in his work, including the deaths of the 2 children editor and strike. he'll slammed the claim of former president brock obama. the drone 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. please strode circle 24 hours a day and delivering deaths from the skies have turned most of the muslim world

against us. it's been completely counterproductive and i think hail understood that 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 hail, it's really 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 waited on twitter that was that would snowden and he condemned the court's decision and praised hale. we've got reaction from a former us to an operator who will say lifted the lid what his work involved. brandon bryan says that in the choice between ignoring civilian kennings and making the public why his conscience made up his mind is really a war untruth. not 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 can, you're part of the machine. the car runs this machine. yeah. you have to bear witness for the not just unfeeling part of the machine, your feelings. 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 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 are out there doing are being punished and it seems that they're 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 that. we've got small stories coming your way right off the short break. so stick with us.

i the ah me rather driven by a rumor shaped by those

in me dares thing. we dare to ask me. ah, his prime minister has threatened to hit back to ron off to claiming it has proof that it carried out the stays deadly tank or talk in the arabian scene. 2 crew members were killed supposedly by train strike on the vessel linked to new radio 1000000000. as however, cheiron denies responsibility and pledges retaliation if attacked, policy reports from television tension can the region are running high and med concerned that they could be

a confrontation between iran and those imposing her 30. we have seen the red treat increased dramatically, particularly as the lady prime minister, enough to be bennett has sprung words for tyrann, shall not be off. so he ron is the one that carried out the attack against the ship . intelligence sources have uncovered evidence of this. and we expect the international community to make it clear to the iranian regime that they have made a serious mistake. in any case, we know how to convey the message to iran in our own way. now the united states and united kingdom have joined israel in pointing as of yet, and substantiated fingers at iran and blaming her for being behind the tax, the secretary of state, and to be blinked and has said to quote that he confidence that iran was behind the protect the united kingdom, saying it's highly likely that around was behind it. but we have heard that phrase highly likely before and very often means that there is no evidence. we believe this attack was deliberate, targeted and a clear violation of international law by iran

u. k. assessments have concluded that is highly likely that iran attack the n v most the street in international waters of amman on 29 july using one or more unmanned aerial vehicles. the range of foreign ministry is denying these canes are twice accusing the countries of the false accusations more to the yet, the norma. this is not the 1st time that the legitimate occupying race in jerusalem has made such false accusations against the blind republic of iran. such, it gives a sense of completely unjustified. they must know that the problems will not be resolved by such positions. if those who attempt to strike a blow will face a big blow, lumnick republic of the run will not hesitate for a moment to protect the interests of its people in its national security. this is where the prime minister enough to be, bennett has not been in the hussy for a long time, and his coalition still remains quite shaky. so it's no surprise that he's quite

keen to point fingers. eddie ran and ran up the rhetoric, meaning, suggesting that quick means some kind of war is a way for him to gain political points. at the same time, questions i've been asked over the range nuclear deal that the american president joe biden wants to be renewed with iran's in the past. it has been repeatedly gathered because america friendship with his role. so questions are being off as to the timing of the confrontation now and whether or not it is coincidental, meaning suggesting it's not policy a television. richard becker from the anti war on. so coalition believes that when is role is rainy's, interests are named that reflex reaction is outreach. israeli government is hoping to to derail the j. c p. o, a, the reinstatement of the j c p o way and in any form whatsoever. and it is a possibility, it will depends

a lot on what the reactions are now from the various parties. we do know for sure that on a daily basis or at least on a weekly basis is really we're playing, violate for web. and i violate the aerospace syria carry out not just the violations of aerospace, but bombing inside of syria and many other assaults on around and then very, very outraged and you know, very righteous when something happens that harms their interest. but they do not accept really international law at all, except to employ it as a me to weaponized. that would be the right way to put it. and all the rocks of police brutality has been caught on camera in the us to offices and colorado have

been charged with the violent rest of the non armed mixed race. mon pc was the next video, contains graphic violence. oh, what do i do now? oh, i do put your hands on for you. okay. don't stop it. whoa, whoa. 6 whoa, don't the police officers identified carl vinson as being wanted for several offences. after 2 other men fled, he appeared to initiate, comply with the officer's commands during the arrest, then resisted while being handcuffed. he was subsequently choked forth face down on the ground on pistol whipped by and off some. vincent was then take him to hospital needing treatment me off isn't question of since been charged with using excessive force while the local police chief condemned that conduct does not police work. we don't train this. not acceptable. the definition of police were jelly is itself is a problem. you weren't you, you use the force necessary to effect an arrest. you keep yourself safe to keep the

citizen safe and you actually keep the person you're arresting safe. the job of the police officer, the street car is not to punish. that's the job of the courts to white edition, not a punishment for conviction if so, if a police officer was aware, as was in the case of derrick shelven, that he was being video camera right. your body cameras recording you and they were this comfortable with their actions. there is a serious epidemic and a serious problem. and then police officers history needs to be looked into. we need to look at how many other times that person been accused or have they taken excessive force beyond the level of what they were lawfully around the allowed to use. because if somebody feels this comfortable to get this out of control on video camera guarantee is that the 1st time they've done this. as an incident like us defined, the police movement is not properly communicated to the public de, from the police moment is a political card. it's what the politicians are using to wind up bolstering your

base for more voting. it really just removes programs funding for certain areas for police officers. and finally, there's been some more drama that hotel and pex a saw us to me last summer in biles has sensation pulled out a war. but one final, to focus on mental health. it's not left to be seen whether or not so participate in tuesdays balance being final. and while some of the say that have moved is as praise others claim, she's and let down her teammates, when they needed the most. i say mental health 1st, because if you don't, then you're not going to enjoy your spore and you're not going to succeed as much as you want to. so it's okay. sometimes the even set out the big competition to focus on yourself on tuesday doing the talk, you know, lympics individual all around competition and women's gymnastics simone. bias one of the greatest athletes to ever grace the sport for time when they became being quite surprisingly for many decided to withdraw from the, from the round and eventually the russian team or r o c. if you may,

1 gold in that discipline. first, it was cited us simone biles decided to withdraw to medical reasons. then it became clear as cited by the teams entourage, and by, by ourselves that this was a mental health issue. it has created quite a whirlwind of reactions. there are those who are strongly accusing and abusing simone bias for withdrawing that i would say spearheaded by peers, morgan, a famous u. k. tv host, who well just fell short of accusing someone violence of being a chicken and checking out on her team. and i saw something that serial winners do on mental health issues. now the go to excuse for any poor performance in elite sport. was a joke. just admit you did badly made mistakes and was tried to do better next time . kids need strong role models, not this nonsense. obviously, that has created huge response online and even some mainstream media jumped in. and

if you look at the language that some of these mainstream media, like washington post and many others used, you would think that simone biles actually won a gold metal rather than pulling out from the competition. whenever biles pulls on her leotard, it's as though she's tighten in a cape around her neck. she's the hero tasked to save in a solid sport embodying some tried believe in american dominance, and also carry an agenda and an entire race. that's a heavy cape and it chokes. but it's one that exceptional black women and women of color are tall to wear because simply being great isn't good enough. for some reason, many of those media and bonded and commentators also decided to bring in her agenda her race into the story which is already creating another type of backlash because people cannot understand what is her decision to withdraw from one particular competition. something she has been preparing for for quite a while,

because the lympics is quite important for any athlete in the world has to do with who she has, her skin color and things like that. she went on instagram recently just saying how much of that weight on her shoulder is being hard on her. and may be this rick, with such reactions, coming from both sides would create even more pressure for the 24 year old gymnast with a very difficult boss. calling color on the week, cory shade, discuss those developments with the panel of august mental health issue of simone biles. so she withdrew. i mean, this must be a very, very difficult decision for gigi think perhaps she's set an example by doing this is a topic i've had the years and only recently, always that people have mental health and i think they lympics the path examples. why not expect i really feel that, especially in india and they,

they think they really try to years and years and they carry their country. shoulders is okay to be okay. i have mental health. i'm not gonna be able to pull the feather. she has withdrawn, has bought further attention to her. i mean, if she's sort of quietly underperformed and perhaps explained to the media that she does, this is just one of those events, yukon, be her peak all the time. and then quietly slipped away fine, but she really has made an announcement him put mental health health back on the map again. so the importance of mental health issue obviously shouldn't be underestimated. but perhaps putting that on lympics as well as perhaps too much is a sporting event should be kept as a sporting event. if one is not ready for one really shouldn't, shouldn't be there. you can only find out sometimes that you're not ready for it. when you're there already, that's all from our team here most also, all from me, goodbye. but don't worry because thomas is take care of at the top of the alex,

he joined him over the coming hours. me i have seen me. ah, ah, ah, the ah .

join me every thursday on the alex salmon show and i'll be speaking to guests in the world, the politics sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me the the in the me a and welcome to the part with american decision to pull out 1st from ghana stand and now from iraq. the era of $911.00 has abruptly come to an end. her is no longer listed among the help spread to the united states, although it claims more lives around the world in 20 years ago. what have the last

2 decades map for the people living on the front lines of the warren? to discuss that i'm now joined by i've got a strong former president to me because i mr. president is great to talk to you. great to see you in moscow again. she's a good, let me start with a question about allowed because over the last couple of years he weren't shy in saying that the americans have out stayed the welcome, but there was a welcome in the beginning, including a welcome from you personally strange, very strong g thing there was ever a good time to leave given how they came into your country. when they came in the aftermath of the tragedy of september, 11th, 2001 which got the sympathies of the whole world with them. the afghan people 2 were waiting for such a moment of liberation. liberation from liberation, from,

from extremism from violence, from terrorism, from a creeping invasion from a neighboring country. and from suffering for such a long time. we had to impeding with america before that had when russia had mash, as well as with europe to, to come in and help us get some free itself. then the international community led by the united states and approved rather sanctioned by the united nations security council. and where even those countries who did not see eye to eye with the united states on many issues at, on the ward like russia, like china, like iran, the all welcomed and supported the decision of the united states and then and its allies to come to garrison and when did a change, when did you feel it? and, and this led to immediate success within a month and a half because i've got people watching the strapping and we've begun to look
