against itself, ah ah pentagon says the dates won't hold anybody liable for a botch. drones striking campbell that kills 10 civilians including 7 children. on for me, u. s. military drone pilot told us of his prostration at the decision. to see that nothing has changed, even when it's blatantly out in front of everyone's face, how we operate and no one is being held accountable. like we've been talking about this for 10 years now that i can do things and demands for the british. brian ministers arrest over his plans for dealing with the all we come covariance, even some tory on piece of compared the peons proposals to nancy germany and while the west thirty's, russia to take the heat out of the ukrainian crisis, washington sends millions of dollars worth of military aid to k of and discuss why

russia's concerns have completely ignored with a former austrian foreign minister that says simply a complete disregard for historic and contemporary morris on, on the, on the russian side. so ah hi there, very good morning to thanks for joining me here on arte. no us personnel will be held liable for a butch drones strike in the afghan capital that was in august to kill 10 civilians including 7 children. the decision follows an internal review. not anticipate there being issues of personal accountability to be had with respect to the august 29th. her strength of the skill here. it was just 2 years old for the time that 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 unheard voices which you can check out on our website. auntie dot com. we heard from the bereaved father of the deceased to europe. her sa 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 and i heard an explosion. my daughter later told me that she saw a smaller craft dro, moving around in a circle which then fired and missile that hitch or hold all that i turned to look . but that of there was dust and smoke ladder guy. it was a terrible scene. i went into my home on fun, my brother and nephew on they were critically injured, but still alive and breathing was they later died in the 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, or the pentagon initially defended that strike, claiming that it was aimed at his la mc state members. when 2 weeks later, though a 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 desk. we discussed all of this with for me, us military drone operator brandon bryan. you know, it's been 10 years since i blew the whistle on the u. s. strong program will be 10 years in 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 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 suppose it enemies in the ones that they test this, munitions on who should be punished are the officers. they said that there's a breakdown in communication, but that is mostly a lie. m, m must have been that there was there, 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. well, numerous u. s. thrown attacks of less than 300 civilians, dead in afghanistan, us between 242020, according to the bureau of investigative journalism. at least 66 of those who died with children. random brian to game 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 there day daily lives out, cannot look at them and say, these are not people there. people because you go home when 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, there, go into bookstores, they're hanging out with their friends and family. there is 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 break down and cry because they would, she'd, these people are suffering and no different than themselves. and that we're perpetuating that suffering because of our actions. we're doing it arrest boris johnson. that was the call coming from a group of angry demonstrators outside the british parliament. they've been outraged at the pm's approach to dealing with the on the chrome cove. it very it well there and go over his handling of the pandemic. it comes in addition to the outrage felt of the alleged downing street christmas party last year, which is said to have happen despite strict locked down rules plus further claims of government, hypocrisy over supposed quiz party involving the prime minister himself. in the meantime, brittany started to count only con cases in the thousands, the very now counting for 20 percent of all infections in the country and more than

40 percent. when it comes to london, the prime minister's trying to get ahead of the cove. it wife, bringing in his plan b of new restrictions and accelerating the roll out of boost jumps. but even madness of his own party aren't convinced it's the way forward. 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 for citizens within the united kingdom has led. so to some criticism that people aren't going to take them seriously enough, what we have seen though is the reintroduction of masks to be worn in england on public transport and in shops. there's also an 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 that pawnshop for the dramatic, really,

we were told these measures might be left to 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 of the health secretary, sasha 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 levels to for its 2nd highest level. this was done over the weekend. and any chess england has just announced that it will return 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 covered figures are slowly stabilizing that south 3rd,

some reductions in the 7 day coven indices of infection. however, what we have seen is demonstrations against the measures that have been brought in to lower those numbers. those demonstrations turning particularly nasty in the state 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 in communicable disease control who we spoke to believes the british

government should be more cautious in its approach to the on the convent. 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 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 at the bottom line is just because if mike appear to be innocuous doesn't mean you dropped 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 wait 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 certain pete whole 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. the criminal has condemned to the flow of what they described as being aggressive. rhetoric coming from american officials has been repeatedly alleged that moscow is planning and offensive on its neighbor ukraine. it's cited, it's russian troop movements near the ukranian border, but the criminal insist that can move his troops, where it once on his own territory and says it doesn't have any invasion plans. a top spot that's. 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, with lining up nuclear weapons and pointing them at 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. with her 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 is public key. you promise you want. now the $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, it's not so sure your trade has been pumped up with weapons. we're talking about direct deliver 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 that 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 is 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, 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 rushes neck is a guarantee that nato's not going to set up camp right next door there. 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 sat and missiles near its 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. luckily under pharmacy, but with the former foreign minister of all stay current council about a range of issues. she longed ways in which she believes the current political style might could 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 digna's of national security interest sense on, at the moment we have bayside saying, russia saying, look, we've got grave security concerns about nights we have eastern european countries and we've got great security concerns about russia and a potential invasion. so what was the meeting point where the meeting points can only be achieved by sub pragmatic diplomatic trust building. and for that, we need

a lot of fact channeling, we need creative minds who are not reading out only to speaking notes at, at the 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 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 administration, we see that a tool anywhere. unfortunately, we are in times of the decline of diplomacy, diplomatic practice, if we are in the world of unilateral statements 1st,

before this looked at this amount of worth, i mean this terminology is, 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 german paper, the bids which, which is effect plan and so on. so there is many love 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 ro, statements by different protagonists, whether it's mrs on the line with aids person and by the end, whether it's different voices and the chairman of parliament and all that is or 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 question plans at tech plans that even at which day the, the russian army is going to 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 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 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 what, what, what will be on the agenda? so for him, for you, it may be the sunshine state spots the forecastle, florida,

looking increasingly gloomy for democrats, their own number to their by registered republican voters. for the 1st time in history, we'll have on a more to the break. ah, ah, central banks, all banks, verifiable committees on their viable centers of power or some of them are very corrupt. some of them are extremely around here in el salvador. their money system is completely absent a penny corruption because it's only dealing toward the pure monetary premium and truth bitcoin on top of that been rock of true, you can build a fantastic trailer. fantastic. ah lou

ah ah, ah, a ah ah, welcome back. democratic party alarm bells ringing in the key state of florida after republicans overtook them for the 1st time in modern history when it comes to the number of registered voters. and with next year's crunch, mid term elections looming, democrats wondering how to reverse their historic slide is kellum open 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 fight will not be easy, but his about so much more than any one of us and his florida democrats. we have lost so many times that donnas 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 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 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 us public than he is now. many wonder what

the implications could be as the mid term congressional actions are less than a year away. cnn is again making headlines instead of reporting on the just a week after that work. sacked star anchor chris cuomo over his roland fighting his birth sexual harassment allegations. one of its producers has now been accused of attempting to lose minors for unlawful sexual activities. with details on the scandal, his artes nikia, 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 doctor 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 loot lo 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 stouter and cnn spend days covering 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 c n n, i like the part where you ignored one cnn's producers being federally charged with child sex crimes. this is your information force, but seeing and clearly things as few as have no problem with forgiving and forgetting. like when it welcomes back chief legal analyst, jeffrey toobin off the his embarrassing scandal in which he pleasured himself during a live video conference. then, as chris cuomo, the well known c n. n. anchor dismissed for advising his disgrace, new york brother. he faced multiple allegations of sexual harassment but only forgiven and he'll be back on screens as early as next month. say report as a channels ratings free for losing a massive 76 percent of his audience in january this year. perhaps his case is like

this for the actually resonating with us. but unless that we spoke to believe the string of scandals for the network is not the only reason it's lost. credibility. i think of the american people, both sides of the aisle either lost any sort of any sort of trust or, or faith in 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 ceo, i don't really think that that's gonna change things for the people. it's going to have to be a come co lead, a complete i think, a complete barebones think the reason why people watch news is not because of their leadership. not because of the executive hierarchies. what it comes out is simply this. is it watchable? is it good to, is it entertaining?

an answer is no. sure, and nobody is going to on the change their mind because of personnel changes. cnn is an watchable. now, when you have been infected politically, by people who are having you, place individuals on your show who are there for no other reason than to perpetuate a particular way of thinking and ideology. that's one of the story completely that, that is destructive. you can't, do you want to run a political party or you want to have a network? do you want to? what exactly do you want to do? cnn lost its way funded this are not all superheroes where capes. it seems one in the central russian city of a fall simply drives a taxi. these under starlight stay to so in the region for donating part of his earnings to families with series steal children. we found out what prompted him to do that.

ah well, so 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 with ingenious, with my answer and 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. that wraps it up for this news. our thanks for your company here. and i'll take jo, me for more in 30 minutes. mm. ah. well, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation,

let it be in arms. race is on often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very critical time. time to sit down and talk blue. right now. there are 2000000000 people who are overweight or obese. it's profitable to sell food. this is patty and sugary and salty and addicted. it's not at the individual level, it's not individual willpower. and if we go on believing that will never change this obesity epidemic, that industry has been influencing very deeply. the medical and scientific establishment. mm. so what's driving the obesity.
