with the pentagon says that it will not hold any body liable for a bosh drones striking, cobble that killed 10 civilians. that includes 7 children from formal u. s. military drone pilot told us of his frustration over the decision 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 is being held accountable. like we've been talking about this for 10 years now. that angry seems and demands for the british prime ministers arrest all over his plans for dealing with the only cron cove advarence to even some tory and please have compared the peons proposals to nazi germany. one of the west sturges russia to
2:01 am
take the heat out of the ukrainian crisis. washington sending millions of dollars with a military aid to keith to discuss why russia's concerns had gone completely ignored with the former austrian foreign minister. there is simply a complete this regard for historic and contemporary worries on, on the russian side. so i that very good morning. you watching auntie international? no, you as personnel will be held liable for a boxed drones strike in the afghan capital that was in august. it killed 10 civilians including 7 children. the decision follows an internal review. did you not anticipate there being issues of personal accountability to be had with respect to the august 29th, her strength. now the skill here,
2:02 am
it was just 2 years old at the time of the strike, she was among those children killed. you can see footage of them on your screen. the 3 of those children had been in a car at the time it was hit by a missile. and as we said before, 7 children died in all, all of them belong to just the one family. it's part of our project and heard voices which you can check out on our website, auntie dot com. we heard from the bereaved father of the deceased to europe. her saw 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 and i heard an explosion. my daughter later told me that she saw a smaller craft at room moving around in a circle which then fired a missile that hit or hold on. i turned to look, but that there was dust and smoke ladder. yeah, it was a terrible scene. i went in to my home and found my brother and
2:03 am
a nephew. they were critically injured but still alive and breathing. 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. all the pentagon initially defended the strike, claiming that it was aimed at his la mc state members building 2 weeks later, the lay tragic mistake was acknowledged. an investigation found yet no laws were broken, and rule commanders could decide on any accountability. now the pentagon says there won't be any accountability that is citing a communication breakdown as the reason for the civilian death. who discussed all this with for the u. s. military drone operator brandon bryan you know, it's been 10 years since i blew the whistle on the us drone program will be 10 years and 5 days actually come and to see that nothing has changed, even when it's blatantly out in front of everyone's face. how we operate
2:04 am
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 united 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 ones that they test this, munitions on who should be punished are the officers. they said that there is 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
2:05 am
minutes to get ready to shoot a messiah. this was not an emergency situation. none was under spire. no one was under duress, known was under stress. and so they had all the time in the world to make the decision on whether to shoot or not. phil isn't least 66 of those who died with children. random bryant again reflects on the work of a military drone operator. there's no way that anyone who has ever done this job and sit there watching these people live their day daily lives out, can not 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 see that these people are suffering and no different than themselves. and that we're perpetuating that
2:06 am
suffering because of our actions. we're doing it arrest. forrest johnson was the call from a group of angry, demonstrate is outside the british parliament. they've been our race that the prime ministers approach to dealing with the american cove at variant in the u. k. oh, laura anger over his handling of the pandemic comes in addition to the outrage felt over the alleged downing street christmas party that occurred last year. it's said to have happen despite strict locked down rules, as well as further claims of government, hypocrisy over supposed quiz party involving the piano himself. the more britons started to count on the con, cases in their thousands, the very now accounting for 20 percent of all infections in the country. and more than 40 percent. when it comes to london, the pianist try to get ahead of the cove wave bringing in his plan
2:07 am
b if you restrictions and accelerating the roll out of boost jumps. but even members of his own party and not convinced that thus the way fought, we are not papers please society. this is not nazi germany. boss johnson is coming in for a lot of flak, from people like mr. fish were in his own party. this follows on from the well changing of the rules and the, the restrictions that are put in place and fob citizens within the united kingdom has led, sought to some criticism that people aren't going to take them seriously enough. what we have seen is the reintroduction of masks to be worn in england on public transport and in shops. there's also a requisite to isolate if you've come into contact with anybody who has the omicron variant, this is prompted so well be outrage from so members of the conservative party with some turning to real air well showing a pawnshop for the dramatic really we were told these measures might be left to
2:08 am
before santa took to his sleigh, and suddenly, before half the country was pinged into the gulag, there seems no let up to this kind of self to feeding, to stop in logic. well, the health secretary, such a javert has said that things are serious and the measures are needed. he's pointed out the omicron variant of cove at 19 could be the dominant type of the virus in london in just the next few days. and that measures have to be taken and are being taken in preparation. the you case for chief medical officers raised the code alert level to for its 2nd highest level. this was done over the weekend and n h s, england has just announced that it were turned to its highest level of emergency preparedness level for. ready national incident, or here in germany, the health minister car allowed to back his said that coven figures are slowly stabilizing. that's after 3rd, some reductions in the 7 day coven indices of infection. however,
2:09 am
what we have seen is demonstrations against the measures that have been brought in to lower those numbers. those demonstrations turning particularly now state in the states of to india. also here in berlin as well elsewhere in europe, in, in austria, where they've just had a, a lockdown of everybody. we're seeing that lockdown being challenged in the highest court in the land. the austrian constitutional court, the case is being brought by somebody who had had 3 jobs of a covered vaccination. they say it placed an unnecessary infringement upon their freedoms. looking at a similar case there was brought here in germany. the constitutional court here ruled that while there were infringements upon civil liberties because of locked downs bows, infringements were necessary due to the serious nature of the coven. 19 pandemic, an expert and communicable disease control. we heard from beliefs that the british government should be more cautious in its approach to the on the convent. so
2:10 am
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 hacked financial 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 we don't sleep balls 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 that is, it's very easy to say. we have fun that make fatigue, but it is also incumbent upon the leaders to multi weight on the population to keep the population happy to keep the population. what we would call a on messy, much with news coming out. that the certain people,
2:11 am
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 for very difficult because people say to me, i'm not going to listen any more. the crime lightness condemned the flow of what it describes as aggressive rhetoric coming from american officials, has been repeatedly alleged that moscow's planning and offensive on its neighbor ukraine. it's cited russian troop movements near the ukrainian border, the crime, the nicest. it can move its troops where every once on its own territory and says, it doesn't have any invasion plans to spy that though it is only the u. s. stunt being echoed in american 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
2:12 am
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 page you think putin himself was lining up nuclear weapons and pointing the met 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 element such as javelin missiles that exist to blow up tanks, perfect for de escalation, which is public key. you promise you want. now these $60000000.00 is just
2:13 am
washington's christmas gift to key at the latest bonus. because this year alone, the white house has to live it almost half a $1000000000.00 in assistance. but while biden's ruled out putting boots on the ground, moscow is not so sure. your train has been pumped up with weapons. we're talking about direct deliveries of those 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 to keep 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,
2:14 am
countless assurances, that talk of invasion is unfounded. hysteria, because all the kremlin really wants after decades of broken promises and threats to fly, the nato flag like a noose around rushes. neck is a guarantee that nato's not going to set up camp right next door. there's 0 trust in relation to nato. 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. but given how much goes previous suggestion to not deploy satin missiles near it's european porter, 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,
2:15 am
and if that means it can keep its weapons, all fired up and ready to go. my colleague and re pharma, spoke with the former foreign minister of austria conklin, ice alone, a whole range of issues. and she outlined ways in which she believes the current political stay might, might be overkill. ah, 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 and not only about self impaired digna's of national security interests and so on. at the moment we have bayside saying, russia saying, look, we've got grave security concerns about nato. we have eastern european countries. we've got great security concerns about russia and a potential invasion. so what, where is the meeting point where the meeting points can only be achieved by saba, pragmatic, diplomatic trust building. and for that, we need a lot of back channeling,
2:16 am
we need to creative minds who are not reading out only to speaking notes at, at a table, but really looking for converging, interests, converging and, and also understanding the other side. i mean, there's simply a complete disregard for historical contemporary a worries on, on, on the russian side so that i think that should be taken into account and, and to overcome that stalemate, it requires genuine diplomatic creativity. also on the side of, of nato officials, you and, and to you as a administration, we see that at all, anywhere. unfortunately, we are in times of a decline of diplomacy, diplomatic practice. if we are in a world of unilateral statements. first of all, this looked at this armament of wertz. i mean,
2:17 am
this terminology is kick cannot be continued as, as it has been the case over the last few weeks. the media should act in a more responsible way of quoting this, this german paper, the bills which, which is a fact planets on. so there is many p glove required to act in a more responsible way because the stakes are simply too high. it's a stalemate. we see a sequence of unit at rows, statements by different protagonists. whether it's mrs on the line with aids president by the end, whether it's different voices and the chairman of parliament. and all that is, is not very helpful to say the least because all doors unit at ro statements are feeding the media. you have some german media which even publish a crash and plans attack plans even to which day the, the russian army is going to invade. i mean it's, it's really getting, sorry, are such a language was not present in the cold war days in the seventy's eighty's. maybe
2:18 am
because we still had people in office who knew what war meant. some of them well after the 2nd world war generation. so the, the, they wouldn't play around with words like nuclear at tech or a fully fledged war because they knew what one was about. we have to see this more moment now to do really something like confidence building back and her. i thought that the us side, so what i would put its priorities in a different way and that ever since the june meeting or some more saba and programmatic approach or. 2 what, what, what will be on the agenda of the car may, may be the sunshine state split. the forecast for florida was looking increasingly gloomy for democrats. they're now outnumbered by registered republican voters. us
2:19 am
1st on that happened in history or on that after the break. ah, ah, your media, a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation for community are you going the right way? where are you being led to somewhere? which direction? what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend her join us in the depths or remain in the shallows.
2:20 am
join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. but i'll be speaking to guess on the world of politics. sport, business, i'm sure business. i'll see you then. ah ah, welcome back. democratic party alarm bells ringing in the key state of florida. this is after republicans overtook them for the 1st time in modern history. pin number of registered voters with next year's crunch, mid term elections looming democrats and now wondering how they might reverse that historic slide. caleb, more pin reports simply
2:21 am
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 fact will not be easy, but it's about so much more than any one of us. and it's florida democrats. we have lost so many times that donors and pundits have given up on us. now florida's governor de santis gave a statement celebrating these new numbers, saying that this shows that the residents 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 rational, as well as national party leadership will. at this point, consider florida to simply be
2:22 am
a red state. they'll consider it to be lost territory and, and not really work on fighting for voters in this very important state that has generally been considered a swing state and u. s. 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 u. s. president joe biden. at this point, the, 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, jo biden's approval ratings have been continuing to drop back in march. he was 20 points higher in terms of approval with us public than he is now. many wonder what
2:23 am
the implications could be as the mid term congressional elections are less than a year away. cnn is also again, making headlines. is that the reporting on them just the week out of the network, sacked star and chris cuomo of roland fighting his brother, sexual harassment delegations. one of the channels producers has now been accused of attempting to the minus for unlawful sexual activities. the details on the scandal is alt is nikki error. 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, the producer is also said to have paid for one mother to bring her under age
2:24 am
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 for plane tickets. the mother and child flew to boston in july of 2020, where griffin pick 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. cnn 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 cnn, which clearly has its hands full when it comes to damage control and choosing to avoid the drama by playing it down. it just isn't going to cut it. brian's delta and cnn spend days covering a tucker carlson writer who got busted for offensive comments made in private but
2:25 am
they have completely ignored. one of their senior produces been indicted for raping and 9 year old go. this is c n n. i like to part where 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 disgrace, new york, my 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 as the channels that ratings freefall losing a massive 76 percent of its audience since january this year. perhaps his case is like this that are actually resonating with viewers and political analysts.
2:26 am
jennifer britons not convinced though that even talk to tow leadership change could revive the networks credibility. i think of the american people, both sides of the aisle, either lost any sort of any sort of trust or, or faith. and cnn is an honest objective reporting news networks 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 gonna change things for the people it's going to have to be, i 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 seem to incite that, they don't promote the incitement of violence by any stretch of imagination that
2:27 am
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. and finally, not all superheroes where capes. one in the central russian city of fop simply drives a taxi. he's and a style like status in the region, though for donating both of his earnings to families with seriously old children. we found out what prompted him to do that. with those before i promised myself once i had a proper salary, paid off all my debts, i start 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.
2:28 am
ah, ah, ah yes, my instagram friends also took part in that. they told their friends started to post it on social media. people followed me and got involved more and more. and they'll get more new stories available on
2:29 am
a website and you can check them out if you would. so wish to do so adult dot com ah ah ah, ah, with all central banks, all banks, small, unfair bible committees on their bible centers of our arc around some of them are very corrupt. some of them are extremely around here in el salvador. their money system is completely absence of any corruption because it's only dealing towards the pure monetary premium and truth of bitcoin. on top of that, been rock up true, you can build a fantastic country. the fantastic culture scientific
2:30 am
knowledge has never been so readily available to everyone across the globe, but overwhelmed by information. can we distinguish the real science from the one being and closed upon us? we're living in a world where there are many people who have a vested interest in finding information, finding scientific evidence, and discrediting even the notion that science could provide the truth about the natural world in the pursuit of business goals. large corporations are challenged strongly by scientific evidence. if you're emotionally invested in free markets, then climate change is a serious emotional threat because dealing with it means we have to change our approach to business industries or on the war bar, attempting to debunk legitimate science by producing new evidence in science and writing science. that's how ignorant says manufacture their attention only seeking to the rail science.
