ah ah, the pentagon says that it won't hold any one liable for a botched drones striking cobble that killed 10 civilians that included 7 children on form u. s. military drone pilot told us of his frustration about the decision to see that nothing has changed, even when it's blatantly out in front of everyone's face. how we operate down and no one's being held accountable. like we've been talking about this for 10 years now. that doesn't, sir, demanding. the british prime minister be arrested. outraged that his plans were dealing with the only cron cove at variance. but even some tory and pace of compared the parents to proposals to nazi germany,

hands wildly west sturges, russia to take the heat out of the ukrainian crisis. washington sends millions of dollars worth of military aid to care. to discuss the political stage may with a form of strict foreign minister. first afford it. this armament of works. i'm in this terminology. she is cake and cannot be continued as, as it has been. the case of the last few weeks for such a language was not present in the cold war days in the seventy's eighty's, maybe because we still had to people in office who knew about war madison. why they good morning. thanks for joining me here on our team. no, you as personnel will be held liable for a box drone strike in the afghan capital in august stack strike kill 10 civilians.

and among the victims were 7 children. the decision follows an internal review do not anticipate. there being issues of personal accountability to be had with respect to the august 29th here. strike ok. we show a picture here of a girl who was just 2 years old at the time and she was among those children who were killed in that strike. i was mentioning go, you can see footage of the victims here. 3 of the children have been in a car at the moment who's hit by a missile, as we said before, 7 children killed in total. all of them belonging such a tragedy to just one family as part of our project and heard voices which you can check out on a website we heard from the bereaved fathers of those children. her saw thought the sandals belong to malika on the morning of the bombing. she came and kissed me and said, good morning father. it was our last meeting. i will never see her again. i just

crossed the road on i heard an explosion. my daughter later told me that she saw a smaller craft, a drawn moving around in a circle which then fired and miss. i'll bout hitch or hold on. i turned to look but that there was dust and smoke louder. yeah, it was a terrible scene. i went into my home on fun, my brother and a nephew. they were critically injured, but still alive and breathing was. they later died in hospital. my brother and 9 others were killed in this horrific attack. my brother's daughter, who was soon to get married, also lost her life, as bob was maya, loved cosmetics. she likes painting her nails, but she like dolls very much. the main cause of the instant was the american president planning this attack without any evidence and destroying our family. it was a catastrophe. i say isis k lived in this house in this house were these children members of ice is a stupid thought without any proof, without any investigation. they attacked us and killed our children,

and we will never forgive them. well, the pentagon initially defended that strike. those were the results of that strike . they said it was aimed at his lennox state members in that vehicle. within 2 weeks later, though a tragic mistake was acknowledged, an investigation though found no laws have been broken and rule that commanders could decide on any possible accountability. and now the pentagon saying that there won't be any accountability that is citing a communication breakdown as the reason for those civilian deaths. we'll discuss all this with for me, u. s. military joan, operator brandon brides. you know, it's been 10 years since i blew the whistle on the u. s. drone program will be 10 years and 5 days actually. um and to see that nothing has changed, even when it's blatantly out in front of everyone's face, how we operate them and no one's being held accountable. like we've been talking about this for 10 years now. when i 1st started talking about it, people called me

a liar. people tried to defame me, and now that we see it for what it actually is, innocence had been killed. not just innocent and innocent aid worker who was there trying to help. i really think that the managed states has lost knowledge on how to conduct warfare. and it's now a business. they're not going to punish the people that make them money. they're just going to punish the people that are so the supposed enemies in the, the ones that they test this, munitions on who should be punished or the officers. they said that there's a breakdown in communication, but that is mostly a lie. i am must have been that there was there and there must been someone miscommunicating something but they have everything should be in a chat program like it's not just a radio call instantaneous. you spin up your mess when you shoot. it takes like 5 minutes to get ready to shoot a messiah. this was not an emergency situation. none was under spire. no one was

under duress, no one was under stress. and so they had all the time in the world to make the decision on whether to shoot or not. while i was to the been numerous you estron strikes over the years and apparently they've left over 300 civilians dead in afghanistan between 242020. that information coming from the bureau of investigative journalism. they say the $66.00 of those killed with childrens are roughly $1.00 and $5.00 of the victims brands. and brian again reflects on the work of a military drilling operator. there is no way that anyone who has ever done this job and sit there watching these people live their day daily lives. i cannot look at them and say, these are not people there. people because you go home and you go out into your own community and you see the same, keep same types of people doing the same thing. they're going to coffee shops, they're going to bookstores, they're hanging out with their friends and family. there's no disconnect for a drone operator. there's so much connection. like if, if a drone operator were to go over there and to meet the people that they interact

with. visually, they would probably have a emotional breakdown and cry because they would sheed, these people are suffering and no different than themselves. and that we're perpetuating that suffering because of our actions. we're doing dozens of demonstrate has been processing outside parliament in london. they won't . boris johnson arrested over his approach to dealing with the only cron cove at variance in the u. k. lu, anger over his handling of the pandemic comes in addition to the outraged felt of the alleged downing street christmas party last year. not is said to have happened despite strict lockdown rules, as well as further claims of government hypocrisy over supposed quiz party that involved the prime minister himself. meanwhile brittany started to count on the crown cases in their thousands the very it now accounting for 20 percent of all

infections in the country. more than 40 percent in london, the prime minister has tried to get ahead of the cove it way by bringing in his plan b of new restrictions. an accelerated roll out a booster champs, but even members of his own party are not convinced that this is the way fort we're not a papers please society, this is not nazi germany. so let's get more on this now from our correspondence, peter oliver. good morning to you at, by the sound of it, you would have thought people got used to limitations being imposed as a result of, of, of covey, but far from it. it seems in the case they're not happy about the latest makes no particularly am inside the conservative party be heard from markets fishers. there he is a, a big supporter of voter id, not so much as he just heard a supporter of providing any id to show that you've been vaccinated against coven 19. he's just one of a number of conservative party m. p. 's that are well threatening bars. johnson at

the moment the prime minister brought in these new meshes and which will add him to try and limit the spread of the omicron variant. also announcing a huge booster job, a roll out on sunday evening. but what the complaints are is that the changing rules and regulations is undermining any public confidence in bows that have been put in place already. we've also heard from some other or conservative party members who are far from happy with this, and they're particularly showing their, their passion for the dramatic and how they're explaining how unhappy they are doing exactly what we were told. these measures might be lifted before santa took to his sleigh, and suddenly, before half the country was pinged into the group, lord, there seems no let up to this kind of self defeating dystopian logic. or the very shall secretary, sasha javert has announced that the you case covert readiness level will be raised

to level 4 that the 2nd highest that it goes in england. we're going to see that at the level at the national health service though, is raised to the highest level of awareness in preparation. the u. case for chief medical officers raised the code alert level to for its 2nd highest level. this was done over the weekend and nature of england has just announced that it would turn to the highest level of emergency preparedness level for. ready national incident. well, here in germany, when it comes to covered the health minister called louts about his said that things are slowly stabilizing when it comes to the number of cases that's based on the, the 7 day indices for coven infections gradually reducing. however, what we have seen far protests across the country over the weekend just gone the turn particularly violent those demonstrations in the state of india also here in berlin, drawing quite big crowds. people very unhappy with those measures that have been

put in place also here in germany. and this is following he, you medicines, agency, approval, european medicines, agency approval. i beg your pardon, that the lower dose of the coven vaccine will be given out to children, aged 5 to 11 nuts, currently being processed at the moment. we're expecting that to be rolled out pretty soon. here in germany, elsewhere in austria, we are seeing the constitutional court being involved when it comes to the 4th lockdown. it's currently a well, just was in place in the country with us. just the case was brought by somebody that had received 3 doses of a coven 19 vaccine. they said that imposing a lockdown upon them was a breach of their constitutional rights. this case, so unlikely to see the court before the spring time. but if we look at a, a similar case that was brought here in germany, what the constitutional court here ruled was that while they were infringements

upon the civil liberties of people because of lock downs, that those lock downs were necessary because of the seriousness of the coven 19 pandemic. feet over the latest change is being brought in to try and combat cove. it's in the u. k. monday. thanks now we heard from an expert in communicable disease control who believes that the british government should be more cautious in its approach to the omicron variance. so clearly indicates, as is biologically expected, that this variant is highly infectious in that in a matter of a few days. the rise in number of cases has been experiential very fast, very quickly. the case numbers have gone up. the 2nd bit is as expected. rising number of cases equals are we will get some hospital admissions equals we will get some people seriously ill. and it also falls unfortunately,

that some people will die. so the bottom line is just because if mike appear to be innocuous doesn't mean you drop your guard and not take all necessary precautions. i know that there is, it's very easy to say we have found that make fatigue, but it is also incumbent upon the leaders to moti weight, the population, to keep the population happy, to keep the population. what we would call on messy, much with news coming out, that certain people, certain senior people in government may have been having parties when the rest of the nation was asked to shut down, is not good news. it doesn't look good and it makes my job very difficult because people say to me, i'm not going to listen. any more kremlin has condemned the flow of what it describes as aggressive rhetoric coming from u. s. officials has been repeatedly and led just at moscow's planning and offensive

on its ne but ukraine, citing russian troop movements near the ukraine and border. the criminal insists it can move its troops wherever it once on its own territory and says, it doesn't have any invasion plans. it's all. despite that, it's only the american stance being echoed in the u. s. media. us intelligence officials say russia could invade ukraine as soon as january, and that's because of russian troops that are massed on ukraine's borders. the question now, is there anything the west can do to prevent food from moving in to prevent a foreign policy crisis on the russia, ukraine border. the world maybe standing at the precipice of war between 2 nuclear armed powers to s, to deescalate tension with de escalation mania, fee, the patch, you think putin himself was lining up nuclear weapons and pointing the ukraine. in reality, you've got russian troops doing trails. in russia, not a crime, as far as i'm aware. in the meantime, one of those pointing the finger must go up to. we did approved president by an

approved a $60000000.00 security systems package. the final elements of that will be arriving in ukraine this week. a small arms and ammunition, small arms and ammunition, including, but you won't hear him say it. lethal elements such as javelin missiles that exist to blow up tanks, perfect for de escalation, which at least publicly you promise you want. now these $60000000.00 is just washington's christmas gift to key at the latest bonus. because this year alone, the white house has to live at almost half a $1000000000.00 in assistance. but while biden's ruled out putting boots on the ground, moscow is not so sure. your ukraine has been pumped up with weapons. we're talking about direct delivery is about multi 1000000 and multi $1000000000.00 contracts for the future. in total, they'll transfer militants under the guise of instructors. now there are one or 2 voices out there who realize that arming up and cooling down don't often go hand in

hand, but they don't have too many funds at the moment. germany continues to build the north stream to gas pipeline, and at the same time block our purchase of defensive weapons. this is very unfair. so to be clear, the us flying out web sticky of these a 2 countries in no way allied officially is for protection and only fire, but russian troops on russian land is a threat that must be contained, dislike, countless assurances, that talk of invasion is unfounded. hysteria, because all the kremlin really once after decades of broken promises and threats to fly, the nato flag like a noose around rush, his neck is a guarantee that nato's not going to set up camp right next door there 0 trust in relation tomato. many times we found ourselves in a situation where something is announced the day after something else a year later, another thing again, and all this is done as if nothing had happened. and one of the reasons why russia

now demands legal security guarantees on the highest possible level. is that so far all of the promises all the assurances and even the political obligations have been overturned? then given how much goes previous suggestion to not deploy sat and missiles near it's european border, as long as washington and co reciprocate was met with stony silence. my guess is a deal with nato's a long shot, because it turns out, but only really likes de escalation if someone else is doing it. and if that means it can keep its weapons, all fired up and ready to go. my colleague under farmer spoke with the former foreign minister of austria. karen can i still have other whole range of issues and she outlined ways in which she believes the current political stem it can be overcome. yes, we are in a stalemate. no doubt about that. but in such a stalemate, it takes people with some sort of creativity. that's what diplomacy is about international relations, not only about so the para,

bigness of national security interest sense on the meeting points can only be achieved by sub pragmatic diplomatic trust building. and for that, we need a lot of back channeling, we need creative minds who are not reading out only to speaking notes at, at the table, but really looking for converging, interest converging and, and also understanding the other side. i mean, there's simply a complete disregard for historical contemporary worries on, on the, on the russian side, so that i think that should be taken into account and, and to overcome that state made, it requires genuine diplomatic creativity on the side of nato officials, you and, and the us special, we see that to anywhere. unfortunately, we are in times of the decline of diplomacy,

diplomatic practice. if we are in the world of unilateral statements, the 2 phosphate, now we're having a genuine conversation. we look into each other's eyes, listen to each other and try to reach some sort of synthesis throughout this program. maybe we come to a synthesis, but this is not anymore to case and high level may to counsel you, etc. meetings. i didn't see it, and that is a dramatic needs tool to bring it back because that the stakes are simply too high post before they looked at this alma amount of words. i mean, this terminology is kick cannot be continued as it has been the case over the last few weeks. the media should act in a more responsible way of quoting this, this job on the paper, the bids which, which that does affect plan and so on. so many people are required to act in the,

in a more responsible way because the fakes are simply too high. it's a stalemate. we see a sequence of unit tro statements by different protagonists. whether it's mrs on the line, whether it's president biden, whether it's different voices in the german parliament and all that is, it's not very helpful to say the least because all of those unit, actually the statements feeding the media from german media, which even publish a question plans of tech plans, even which day the russian army is going to invade. i mean, it's really getting, sorry out such a language was not present in the cold war days in the seventy's eighty's. maybe because we still have people in the office who knew what was meant, some of them well off the 2nd world war 2 and a ration. so they wouldn't play around with words like nuclear attack or

a fully fleshed war because they knew what was most about. we have to seize this more moment now to do really something like confidence building back. and i thought that the us side, what would put its priorities in a different way and that seems to, to meeting some more sober and programmatic approach. what will be on the agenda? democratic party alarm bells saw ringing in the key state of florida house to republicans overtook them for the 1st time in modern history per number of registered voters. and we next is crunch mid term elections looming democrats and i wondering how to reversed their historic slides. ortiz caleb moore's reports simply a matter of mathematics. for the 1st time in modern history, the republican party has more registered voters in florida than the democratic

party does. now, local democratic party leaders are at this point, reacting, realizing that something seems to be very wrong. of course, this price will not be easy, but it's about so much more than any $1.00 of us and the florida democrats. we have lost so many times that donors and ponders have given up on us. now florida's governor de santis gave a statement celebrating these new numbers, saying that this shows that the residence of his state reject government control from the democratic party and value liberty as put forward by his administration in florida and by the republicans. now at this point, there is a fear on the part of some figures within the democratic party in florida that national donors to the democratic party is washing as well as national party leadership will. at this point, consider florida to simply be a red state. they consider it to be last territory and, and not really work on fighting for voters in this very important state that has

generally been considered a swing state and us presidential elections. it's not as if floridians can't be swayed one way or the other. we need more coordination with the national party. now this comes amid a drop in the approval ratings of us present, joe biden, at this point, the approval rating of joe biden, when it comes to handling the vital issue of inflation, is pretty low. only 28 percent of americans say he's doing a good job. only 54 percent within his own party. and when it comes to the handling of coven 19 while he still maintains a 53 percent approval rating. that number has dropped 10 percent since july. now at this point, joe biden's approval ratings have been continuing to drop back in march. he was 20 points higher in terms of approval with the us public than he is now. many wonder what the implications could be as the mid term congressional elections are less than a year away. cnn's again murky,

heard lines instead of reporting all of them just the week out of the network sack to star anchor chris chrome over his roland fighting his brother, sexual harassment delegations. one of those producers has now been accused of attempting to lou minors for unlawful sexual activities. with details on the scandal is or to sneakier. it seems the most trusted name in news that has a serious credibility problem. the latest embarrassment for the channel involves the arrest of a senior producer after he allegedly engaged in sexual activity with children. as young as 9 griffin is said to have befriended parents of young girls online inviting them to hold virtual training sessions in which he would teach the young daughters how to be quote, sexually submissive amongst the allegations that produce that is also said to have paid for one mother to bring her under age daughter to his house, where he then abused her. in june of 2020 griffin advised

a mother of 9 and 13 year old daughters that the mother's responsibility was to see that her altered daughter was trained properly. griffin later transferred over $3000.00 to the mother of the plane tickets. the mother and child flew to boston in july of 2020, where griffin picked them up and his tesla drove them to his ludlow house. at the house, the daughter was directed to engage in and did engage in unlawful sexual activity. san anne has called the charges against griffin, deeply disturbing and suspended him pending further investigation. but this highly distressing case is just the latest in a growing list of embarrassments both the n n, which clearly has its hands full when it comes to damage control and choosing to avoid the drama by playing it down just isn't going to cut it. brian stouter and cnn spend days covering a tucker carlson writer who got busted for offensive comments made in private, but they have completely ignored. one of their senior produces been indicted for

raping and 9 year old go. this is cnn. i like to par, were you ignored one of cnn's producers being federally charged with child sex chromes? this is your information force, but cnn clearly things as few as have no problem with forgiving and forgetting. like when it welcomes back chief legal analyst jeffrey toobin after his embarrassing scandal in which he pleasured himself during a live video conference. then there's chris cuomo, the well known c n. n. anchor dismissed for advising his disgraced new york mer brother who faced multiple allegations of sexual harassment. but all is forgiven and he'll be back on screens as early as next month. say reports are the channels that ratings. freefall losing a massive 76 percent of its audience since january this year. perhaps is cases like this that are actually resonating with viewers. political analysts, jennifer breeds insult, convince even to talk to, to leadership change could revive the network's credibility. i think of the

american people, both sides of the aisle kind of lost any sort of any sort of trust or, or faith. and cnn is an honest objective reporting news network with so much bias and propaganda. and you can say that about many news networks, but in terms of wanting to report that, so if there's a chance of a leader coming in or new leadership by changing the board of directors, changing the seo, i don't really think that that's going to change things for the people, it's going to have to be a come co lead, a complete i think, a complete barebones thing, whether that's changing leadership or whether that's actually starting to report on things that are objective that are not politically motivated, that are not bias. that don't us seek to incite that they don't promote the incitement of violence by any stretch of imagination that don't promote division and dissension. all these things that it's themselves and i really don't believe

that new leadership is going to change that wrong. turns on little superheroes where capes, one in the central russian city of fossil to drive the taxi bus isn't starlight status in the region for donating part of his earnings to families with serious feel children. we found out what prompted him to do so. ah well before i promised myself once i had a proper salary, paid off all my debts, i started to help others in spring. i decided to work for free one day each month and all the revenue, all the tips i gained that day i decided to donate to the hospital with

genius, with my instagram friends also took part in that they told their friends started to posted on social media people followed me and got involved more and more. nobody to run up to date. very good morning. thanks for your company. i hope you'll be here when i return that rush

back. either my natural saliva. no, they say my, there's a girl i drew quantitative easing. central bag support, donna, god, me, i'm going to call them right now. they stop the madness. ah ah, the obesity epidemic as the most important international health problem, let me thought that the new policy to waste. so to bissell and then the only thing that differs from the fact that it's a man made tragedy.
