2:30 pm
weapons convoys heading to lebanon, or ronnie and proxy forces that are operating in syria. but this latest attack is certainly unusual. during, during the month long war and 2006, some $1200.00 lebanese mostly civilians were killed. and just over 160 israelis mostly soldiers died during that war. the difference between that and now is that today has villa has an estimated 132150000 counting short, medium and longer range rockets and missiles capable of raining down across northern israel. and even reaching the cities of haifa, where israel has a major port and televi where israel's military command structure is center, the potential for a 3rd 11 all wars. a story that i covered while working several years as a journalist in israel. it's a war really neither side necessarily. once has thousands of people could be killed . in fact, israeli military has estimated that in the 1st couple hours of battle,
2:31 pm
at least 2000 rockets and missiles would be fired at israeli cities, villages most shoved and computers. men, women, and children on both sides would likely die. the last time i was in northern israel, i visited michelle called miss galvan. it's a beautiful place over looking on one side to go on heights and on the other side, southern lebanon. it's literally right across the border so close, in fact, that you can throw stone across the razor wireless security fences right into 11 on while i was there from an overlook, a top the mountain side, the machine is perched upon. you can see the lebanese villages scattered throughout the valley and hilltops, and every now and again has bullet flags perched to top buildings or on military vehicles. one of the security guards in them ashore pointed out the windowless and seemingly empty buildings where he said snipers would likely take up positions and the pock marked landscape where he described the network of hezbollah tunnels, criss crossing, and winding for miles and miles like an underground ant colony. israel knows it has
2:32 pm
a lot to lose in another war with weapon on and showed us has the law and the lebanese government and army. and what went on in a state of crisis once again, another war is the last thing. anyone there once or needs a war with iran? well, that's another story. israel's defense minister ben gunn said the country is preparing to attack iran. god said it are on is only about 10 weeks away from acquiring weapons grade materials necessary for a nuclear weapon. it's unclear what evidence israel has proving this, but gone, said israel is ready to strike iran when or if needed, while also call we on the international community to respond to the threat and quote, we can't tag around a solely and israeli problem and absolve the rest of the world from this issue can also maintain that are on was behind the latest drone attack on an oil tanker off the coast of oman, while also naming iranian commanders, he said, are in charge of iran's attack and suicide drone programs. we'll discuss what all
2:33 pm
of this means coming up. i'm john hoodie. and this is news news news right here on our t america. we have a lot to get to once again as the news cycle never stops and we're covering it all . so let's get to it. aah . alright. israeli defense minister been again to, i just mentioned to the comments from him. i mentioned earlier. so that now is the time for deeds. words are not enough. he said it's time for diplomatic economic and even military deeds. otherwise, the attacks by iran will continue. this is iran, new president and abraham, and officially took control into iran. us net us secretary of state spokesperson that price. so the u. s. will defend america, security interests and that of its partners as well, including israel, but that the u. s. is waiting to see if iran takes a diplomatic approach to addressing the various issues,
2:34 pm
including the jcp away and that the u. s. is prepared to rejoin that nuclear dale, the jcp, a joint comprehensive plan of action deal if or on and here is to its responsibilities . so with more on s, including, if israel and the us is on a crash course with lebanon and iran, joining me now is former pentagon official, michael maloof. so here we go again. you were here yesterday and i said, i'm sure you're gonna be back and i'm sure to be talking more about this and here we are. first of all, let's, let's, let's start with webinar and start with that development, be instruction webinar. what do you make of that is, is this a dangerous escalation, or is it kind of tit for tat? beyond tit for tat? i think that this is clearly elements within lebanon that are anti husband, that are trying to agitate and provoke to get israel to respond in a military fashion. i has bought anti. yeah, because that's interesting. and we touched upon this because even israel,
2:35 pm
the idea was kind of pointing fingers at palestinian road militant, well yeah, i'm hearing that there. these are sunni lead groups from, from palestinians to gypsies who have their own grievances with us, but especially with us below. and they want, they want and many of them are, are being coaxed on by european american and jose, now what would be the reason for that break that to, to, because it, because they, they support the sunni's. they are anti, it's all geared toward anti house book, and that fits within the narrative of the united states and even israel to do away with those blocks to try. and then my husband was political power. they can undermine that. it's military power. yes. so, so essentially to provoke total it to provoke and attack by israel, but i just feel like i just said, i mean, i find that very unlikely because some likely that israel would attack that is no,
2:36 pm
no, they know they know who 3rd war. that's why that's why they were very careful. they knew who had launched those muscles. that's why you're not going to see if you're not going to see husband attack or take the initiative on that. like they did. back in 2006, 6. yes. right. they're not going to do that again. they love catastrophe. but i will say this, that if there is an attack by israel on, but on and on hospital or even on iran, husband will react. yeah, and that's detrimental. i mean, why it's not going to be, it's not only going to be those butler and the sheer, it'll be other groups. i'm. i'm told by people there you can count on about a 1000000 shia from all countries coming in. oh yeah. and that's another part of that, is that a 3rd living on war and let's pray to god, nothing where we're at. we're at the precipice. but that would not only be a war between israel and has the lower israel and lebanon. it would be
2:37 pm
a multi front war, involves syria. that's right. it would involve of course hamas in gaza would involve power statement is plainly higher and middle fatah, it wouldn't claim entire mentally. so with that let's, let's shift to iran. ok. we covered that we took care of that problem. well, we can get back to you guys, but let's talk about arrive. okay. and the what benny gets set. yes. what does that mean? is that our is that israel just kind of with the tough rhetoric? the tough talk this evening. i don't think it is worth this time. i don't think so . and what they're they're, they're watching iran's nuclear development program. and i think that all. and if, if the talks fail and those are increasing likelihood of that, then all of the enrich uranium could be upgraded even further to the 90 percent
2:38 pm
level, which is weapons grade. and that is the red line for israel and all that. and they've already promised that that is their red line, but then they will attack now that now israel has come in and asked for all different kinds of weapons because it, because they're supportive and they want weapons that has never been given to them before, which suggest to me they are laying the groundwork for and direct invasion going on their own. what would that look like? because we both know and as we've reported, as i've reported show israel has launched attacks. i mean, israel has hit consistently more than we even know. ronnie and proxy forces in syria. yeah. but that was a year as well the us in iraq, but it was very limited, very limited in nature. there's a why wouldn't that wouldn't attack on iran look like, i think if it's a direct and military attack on a, on, on iranian soil, then that's it. and what, but how,
2:39 pm
how would that attack and for that would be israel launching air and missile street? yes. but there they are, and they're going to require assistance, particularly from saudi arabia because of the distance between the 2 entries. so that means they're gonna have to have very fueling if they go that route or they may have to use missiles and it's, it would be a very complicated undertaking or regional. oh yeah. oh yeah, totally. we'll try again the us. yeah. what would the us and i was just gonna get to that? what would the u. s. is involvement would, will be nudged into it once again. because where we have committed to supporting the security of israel. so that means that given the scenario we talked about earlier, if the other she and husband are then launch against israel as a result of the attack on iran, united states as is committed. what, what do you think? right. i mean, i'm not asking for you to speculate about what's going on in his head right now.
2:40 pm
the president, the new president arrived. but what do you think he's how do you think he's maneuvering right now? what do things going on? i think he's laying groundwork to try to get out from under the sanctions in a way that sanctions us sanctions rather won't matter. he will look more toward china and he will, he will try and develop the indigenous industries because he's really that he's really that the, the, the child of the i, r g c. and they run most of the businesses and it has allow them to become self sufficient in many ways. so those just look eastward, instead of westward, even though they would like to have the sanctions removed so that they can have access to western technologies. but they can find alternatives, frankly, when you mentioned china, i wonder what russia's response would be if the original constantly breaks out. well they're, they're going to get and they're going to get swarmed into this as well because they put a lot of resources into syria and to try and stabilize that country. no holds barred. yeah. we gotta leave it there. okay. for now. ok for now. see you tomorrow
2:41 pm
. good. i'll be around or next week either way. right, well next week people in france will have to show a coven health path to get into a restaurant, cafe and even hospitals, all health workers face mandatory vaccination requirements. next month, it comes as the french constitutional council rules. these moves are, in fact legal. there have been rallies and protests against the new restrictions for several weeks with demonstrators clashing with police. the restriction protestors gathered outside the court in paris as the decision was announced, our correspondent peter oliver was there for the constitutional council,
2:42 pm
which is the highest 40 in the land. when it comes to masses of the constitution, it has ruled that the changes to the laws that were put through by parliament last month largely comply with the lesser of the french constitution. what that means is that from next week, you're going to have to show help class. if you want to go into restaurants on long distance trains or even into medical centers, it will contain more than 50 people. what the hell passes are, is basically a q r code that says the 15 bucks and 8th, that's what you've been buses with. and the result of an encoder sort of carried out, you know, they're already in place when it comes to visiting and other cultural sites across from the extension was not supported by a large group of people that came out on the street that was supported by a large selection of the whole population between 5563 percent of those polled. but they actually want to say however,
2:43 pm
it's the small very vocal group like you can see just behind me on the square near to the constitutional council that are deeply unhappy with. it's one of the big reasons that deeply unhappy is these rules also, and montessori vaccinations for health care workers. now that also includes firefighters in from, through a categorized as medical as well. we have heard from firefighters union to do this, you know, all possible, you know, just as you can see, as i said, it's very small group. they are incredibly vocal. if you just heard that back to the firefighters and what the firefighters unions of said is that they've gone through, they would still think about strike. as soon as monday, we're going to have to wait to see what their response to they say is now, it was all about being largely compliant to the french constitution. there are the rules that went through walton, supported by the constitutional counsel with the idea that people on short term contract to refuse of vaccination,
2:44 pm
could have their contract terminated also that they could be forced into mandatory quarantined mandatory self isolation that was approved by the constitutional counsel, but in the main part it has gone through that will be new rules in place. we have been the last 3 weeks on rest across from small scale in some places, but over 200000 people out on the streets of france last week were expecting even more to come out this saturday, both across france and here in paris. or who will fire dozens of employees between 20182024 reportedly accessing private user far files. we'll talk about what this could mean for your information right after the break. i anybody resistance is a real problem because we can go back to what they call the pre antibody theora,
2:45 pm
reactively become post antibody any, you know, a lot of countries, particularly countries like india, china developing countries or low income countries that have particularly poor water supply. the resistance level, there are astronomical, you know, the common bacteria like a co, technical purposes. untreatable the know what would you love you by the mother can walk on by now i know i should know moment a little moan on the sofa, heels on like one of them. and that will allow you to go for have
2:46 pm
an initiation of national with much i should be out there are small people, but no, no, i mean, i mean i saw it in one out in my in my name is p as we were saying, shipping all of our jobs, the factory to china was a bad idea. but the american people were ok with it because although they're way, cuz we're going down the stuff they were getting from china, the wal mart was cheaper than ever. okay, now the chickens have come home, the roof. now the china labor sink is finished. inflation is kicking in
2:47 pm
for real, and wages are going up, but not as fast as inflation the i lose me. ah, la new internal investigation is found that google employees, li, company documents and even spied. 7 on users, as a result, the tech giant has fired dozens of workers. r t correspondent and pastor suite has
2:48 pm
more on what's been uncovered. well has fired 80 employees and 2018. after most of them were caught sharon, internal documents. others were found guilty of spying on other google users. google internal investigation was eye opening for the tech giant. from 2018 through 2020 dozens of employees were found stealing corporate information and even using google technology to spy on users. and 202036 employees will let go for breaching security. and $2926.00 were found guilty of similar abuses. and in 2018, 18 employees were fired fort related behavior. a google spokesperson said most of these workers had shared company information, a whopping 86 percent. another 10 percent were using their positions to stock users, google that employee to take part in data misuse or 1st world trained and even coached before being fired over a google spokesperson said,
2:49 pm
while these instances have occurred. these types of violations are still extremely rare. it comes after more than a decade after a former google employee was found using his position to access for different teenager accounts. while his activities were not found out right away, he was eventually terminated. but google isn't the only tech giant struggling with deceptive employees. in 2014 through 2015, facebook found 52 different workers using their computer access for personal reasons. this included spine on women in a statement. facebook said we have always had a 0 tolerance for abuse and have fired every single employee ever found to be improperly accessing data. and according to facebook's chief security officer at the time alex day, most engineers were found to be abusing their access nearly every month and 2014 more than $16000.00 employees or poorly had access to users private information. when employee was able to track a woman who no longer responded to his messages, he had access to her private conversations in messenger deleted photographs and
2:50 pm
posts. she clicked on facebook. both person has claimed to strengthen their employee training abuse protocols since 2015. they are poorly working to reduce the need for engineers accessing certain types of data as well, reporting for new to choose and sweets r t o ride as well . joining me now with more i'm, this is legal media analysts, lionel. i mean, this is creepy. right now it's kind of creepy that these people, it seems like this goes beyond, you know, google employees trying to pill for intellectual property, but then spying on other employees and potentially google users when this is, this is kind of creepy. yeah. the, the company that invades is, are sold the company that invades every scintilla and cellular level at the atomic level of our privacy has 36 people who,
2:51 pm
when caught john winder caught or talk to and coached given milk and cookies. please listen. i'm telling you this is, i mean it's not even a hand slap, it's what are you kidding me? so, i mean, i, i might, my question is, you know, this story if you read it, they don't even tell you when you think about a word, these people, what happened is this, their attempt to say, throw something out of the peasant and make them think that we care because this is really nothing. i mean like the end of the se, basically say, you know, we got a couple of people here who were spite, but you spy on people. that's what you do. yes. but they were spying really badly, really, unfairly. so i mean it's, so for one of the story is terrific, but if you think this, is it kidding me? and i was just going to make that point. i mean,
2:52 pm
there's the 36 that were that i guess were more recently, but all together there was, there were 80, at least that we know of 80 employees. so, so presumably sure, it's all it's, it's a lot more than that. i mean, look, facebook has had similar problems with, with employees, you know, allegedly abusing people's personal info. so i guess the thing that i'm wondering is, is this just kind of what we already know that are personal information if you're online, if you're on social media, if you're using these platforms, your information is already compromised. unless you're moving into the backwards of montana and going off the grid and even then i don't think you could fully, you know, to, out to everything isn't this, we, don't, we already know this. yeah. yes, i've got maybe agile or 34 people. i know my life, who play, who proudly say, you know, i'm not on that their facebook,
2:53 pm
they and i don't do this and i look at them. i'm saying, are you want of your mind? do you think somehow you have escaped the clutches of this information dragnet? because you haven't logged on. i take a picture of your sleeping dog or whatever. i mean, are you, do you say you are connected through me and let me favor the john? the next thing is going to be the biggest story ever is going to be social credit scores. that's the thing. because when you try to get re up on your insurance or something like that, and you're not on this, they're going to ask somebody, do you know so and so, well, yes. do you hang around these people? yeah. not necessarily on facebook. see, that's the point that kills me. think that if you turn this off that i get put what go, doc, go or whatever it is that somehow i'm going to be immune from this. that is, i putting on some kind of a cab lar, information bullet proof. it's over. you are saturated in this already that way.
2:54 pm
run john. one way you can, i'm going to go check my twitter account, then a lifestyle like this. we're doing what, what, what can we do? we're all, we're all part of it. you know, we're all saturated with the social media. it's part of our lives. and in this business, in the media, you can't get away from it just when you think you're out. it pulls you back in line all appreciate it, man. good to see it. thanks for coming on. one of the most historic sites in the western hemisphere may actually be older than previously thought. a scientific discovery about much of peach you in modern day, peru is casting doubt on colonial records. hundreds of years old or science have inger explains much o p t u i unesco world heritage and known in the west as the last city of the in cars and visited by millions every single year. the historical side is one of the
2:55 pm
most well known in the world, yet it's past remains among the greatest mysteries to western historians. what we thought we knew was that module peach was abandoned in the 15 thirty's, after the spanish invasion, and later became a popular attraction. this was based primarily on 16th century spanish counts from their conquest of the region. and so for more than 75 years, historians assumed that the famous side in peru was built some time after 1438. and that's because for decades, historians and anthropologists have relied on written accounts of pre columbian societies. but now the team of researchers led by richard burger, an anthropology professor od yoga, versity, use radio, carbon human remains to reveal that the emperor pi, chuck hootie, who build march,
2:56 pm
pete, you rose to power earlier than expected the bones in t v. using the analysis likely belonged to retainers or attendants who were assigned to the royal estate, the study states the remains show little evidence of involvement and heavy physical labor suggest construction, meaning that they were likely from the period when the side function as a country palace. not when it was being built. this is the 1st study, best found scientific evidence to provide an estimate for the founding of march p 2 and the length of its occupation burger said in the news release. all of this now reveals that the parcher cooties conquest took place much earlier, helping to explain how the inca empire became the largest and was powerful and pre columbian america, does at least 2 decades older. for news views hughes cited having ger,
