it will be successful, very difficult, time time to sit down and talk with top headlines with this. how i live on our tea. the pentagon says it won't hold anyone liable for a botched drones dry can cobble that killed 10 civilians including 7 kids, one form a u. s. military drone pilot told us of his frustration over this 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's being held accountable. like we've been talking about this for 10 years now. i go out in the u. k. over new restrictions been brought in to combat the foss spreading all my con variant, with even some conservative and peas, comparing the proposals to that of nazi germany. and while the west osha is russia to take the heat out of the ukrainian crisis,

washington sends millions of dollars worth of military aid to kiya. we discuss why russia's concerns have gone completely ignored with a former austrian foreign minister. that says simply a complete disregard for historical contemporary worries on, on the russian side. so ah, well, a very warm welcome to you from a very snowy moscow busy program for you today here on our t international. let's get straight into it. so the u. k. has started to record a alma chrome, the cases in the thousands with a very it now accounting for 20 percent of old infections in the country. nearly 50 percent in london. the prime minister has tried to get ahead of the covert way by bringing in his plan be of new restrictions on the next teller. it had rolled out of various booster jobs. however,

even members of his own party and not entirely convinced, that's the way to go. we are not a papers, please society, this is not nazi germany. all right, so i'm over crossing loc london. our correspondence shot here. it was darcy a shot here. you're just outside, one of the vaccination centers are ramping up. the booster roll out because one of the key points of the prime minister is plan b, but it's also a plan that johnson's own. m. p is not entirely supportive. am i right? well the prime minister lake is instruction to the nation is get to boosted and now the aim really is to get every single adult in the country vaccination with that boosted job. by the end of this month, the is quite ambitious then really because that would mean i'm 1000000000 people need to be job every single day. and yes, that's right. i'm outside saint thomas hospital here in central london. and as you can see, the queue is really piling up now this morning. in fact, the chances are telling people to stop trying to book that booster online. the

system has totally crushed. so people are really just trying their luck really. and just turning up to see whether or not they can get that job into their are now it's all hands on deck really here in the united kingdom about 750 military press. now they dropped it in to assist this vaccine processes, vaccine operation. and why. 7 may you ask about the acceleration of this boost to program now? well, according to the how secretary the on the chrome variant is now the dominant one. no, very old code 19 has spread this fast. oh me con. expect it to become the dominant code 19 parent in the capital in the next 48 hours. so the foreign minister announced just just yesterday the one person has unfortunately died from the on the chrome variant. we understand that around 10 people are now in hospital suffering from on the cross. in fact, there is though a 3 week lag on the data. so we're expecting to see these statistics really sky

rocket in the run up to christmas. so as i say, the slogan yes indeed, get boosted. now it's all part of the plan. b covert restrictions which parliament actually will be voting on later tonight. now they include full votes. the for being one on face marks being mandatory one, including isolation rules, but the controversial to all the coven possibles that's full of possible going into larger events, but also make it compulsory full and h, a staff to get that job. now much of the public are saying that this is an attack on civil liberties, but actually we're hearing that some of these are agreeing with that as well. in fact, we're expecting to see a huge tory rebellion because many of them are saying that compelling people by law to get immunized is actually simply a step too far. not to mention that these temporary emergency measures are not so temporary anymore. 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 lead up to this kind of self defeating dystopian logic. well just yesterday, then the government put the owners back on the public saying we must all be playing our part. but that's quite a difficult message for the public to take, especially after the last few weeks of revelations that some politicians don't seem to be playing their part in trying to get on the other side of this pandemic. and yes, i'm talking about those downing street christmas parties. i've been a headline news here in the united kingdom, but many people, as you can see, the q directly behind me, they are following the rules. they want to get their booster now perhaps is a long ditch effort to save their christmas. is sharia. thank you. well, an expert in a communicable disease control that we heard from believe the british government should be more cautious in its approach to the armor conveyor. so clearly indicates,

as is biologically expected, that this version 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 we will get some hospital admissions equals we will get some people seriously ill and he don't sleep was unfortunately, that some people will die. so at the bottom line is just because if mike appear to be innocuous doesn't mean you drop your god and not take all the necessary precautions. i know that that is, it's very easy to say we have found that make fatigue, but it is also incumbent upon the lead as to moti weight, 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 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 jobs were very difficult because people say to me, i'm not going to listen any more. well, i know you s personnel will be held liable for a botched drone strike, an afghan capital that was back in august. it killed 10 civilians including 7 kids, that the decision follows on internal review. did you not anticipate that they're being issues of personal accountability to be had with respect to the august 29th here, straight on as i show you for double this little girl right here. she was just 2 years old. she was among the children killed in the strike. we can show you some pictures of them right here. 3 of the children had been in a car when it was hit by a missile. i 3 separate $47.00 kids were killed in total. the old belonging to just a one family and it's part of our project on voices which you can see at ot dot com

. or we heard from the bereaved father of the deceased 2 year old. 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 and i heard an explosion. my daughter later told me that she saw a smaller craft. i drew moving around in a circle which then fired a missile that hit or hold because i turned to look but on that of the was dust and smoked like it was a terrible scene. i went in to my home on fun, my brother and a nephew. they were. busy critically injured but still alive and breathing, one day 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 low. the pentagon initially defended the strike, claiming it was a targeting islamic state members now,

more than 2 weeks later though a tragic mistake was acknowledged and investigation, however, found no laws have been broken, but rules that commanders could decide on accountability. so now the pentagon says they won't be any, citing a communication breakdown as a reason for the civilian deaths. there might be any punishment. so we discussed all of this with a former u. s. military drone operator of brandon bryant. you know, it's been 10 years since i blew the whistle on the u. s. drone 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, an 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 miss 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 the sad truth. is it numerous us drone attacks of left well over $300.00 civilians dead than afghanistan and recent years? according to the bureau of investigative journalism,

we understand at least $66.00 of those killed with children. what brandon bryan again reflects on the work of a military drawn 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 are 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 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 interacted with visually, they would probably have a motional breakdown and cry because they would see these people are suffering and no different than themselves. and that we're perpetuating that suffering because of our actions we're doing the kremlin has condemned the flow of what it describes as aggressive rhetoric coming from us. officials has been repeatedly

alleged that moscow is planning an offensive on its neighbor ukraine, citing russian troop movements near the ukrainian border. the kremlin insist that can move his troops to wherever it once on its own territory and doesn't have any innovation plans. despite that though, it's only the american staunch has been echoed in the us 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 out. fever pitch. you think putin himself was lining up nuclear weapons and pointing them at ukraine. in reality, you've got russian troops doing drills in russia, not a crime as far as i'm aware. in the meantime, one of those pointing the finger. c must go up to we did approve 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 is public key. you promised 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's health. so sure your ukraine has been pumped up with weapons, were talking about direct delivery is about multi 1000000, multi 1000000000 dollar 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 street 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. the 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 to nato. many times we found ourselves in a situation when 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 it's european puerto, 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. earlier my colleague drew farmer spoke to the former foreign minister of austria. karen, can i sold about a range of issues? however, on one of them though, she did outline ways in which she believes the current political stalemate 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 and so on. at the moment we have bayside saying, russia saying, look, we've got grave security concerns about night. we have eastern european countries saying 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 saba, 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, interests, converging and, and also understanding the other side. i mean, there's simply a complete disregard for historical contemporary worries on, 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 matter to anywhere. unfortunately, we are in times of the decline of diplomacy, diplomatic practice. it's, we are in the world of unilateral statements 1st before this looked at this om 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 law required to act in a more responsible way because the fakes are simply too high. it's a stalemate. we see a sequence of unit actually 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 old. that is, it's not very helpful to say the least because all of those unit, actual statements feeding the media from german, the media, which even publish a question plans, a tech lance, even which day the russian army is going to invade. i mean, it's really getting story 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, the 2nd world war 2 integration. so they wouldn't play around with words like nuclear at tech or a fully fleshed war because they knew what was most about. we have to seize this more moments 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 ever since the june meeting some more saba and pragmatic approach, what, what will be on the agenda? the us homeland security department is under fire. after it was revealed, the agency had secretly obtained information on john lists, congressional staff, and possibly even its own members and the associated press, whose report was one of those target. it is now calling for office where deeply concerned about this apparent abuse of power. this appears to be an example of journalists being targeted for simply doing their jobs, which is a violation of the 1st amendment i crossing, i thought his ego has done of ego to good afternoon to you. what, what exactly has been revealed about the snooping and is it, is it concerning?

well, rory, you be the judge of that, but essentially what we have in question is a secret border patrol unit called counter network division. and apparently it had very few rules, a very few guidelines. it operated and well abided by. it was created as the aftermath of the well infamous $911.00 attacks, and it is tasked with well identifying threats. crossing the u. s. border being drugs beat well guns or beat people and it is operational up to this day. and according to the report that has well, that has made the headlines. according to the report this unit, it has prided itself as not the one following the rules, but rather making ones. and it used a, probably some of the americas most sensitive databases to look into and to read people. again, when i say people, i do not mean known criminals on poor people, charged with something or even people suspected of committing a federal crime. when i say that people, they were rather vetting journalists or,

well congressman or congress people or just angio workers. they were vetting them as they were considering working with them this well counter network division and the sort of information they could get they could obtain from databases like for example, a terror watchlist is well, quite expansive. for example, they could get their financial logs, they could get their travel logs, they could even pry into their personal affairs. for example, they apparently use their the most sensitive databases and all sorts of tools to look into well into a journalist than a political reporter who was well, romantically involved with a senior senate staffer the all this operation. ah, well, it was cool, operation whistle pig, apparently an homage to a particular brand of whiskey, and they used this operation to ensnare these said senate staff. and apparently they were saying they were looking into potential leaks coming from while the than trump administration. now these reports again,

given that apparently they were looking into people that did nothing wrong, that there were not on any watch lists. there were just journalists were and your work as they are. well, these reports they were found very, very concerning. even the associated press when they found one of their own journalists involved, they, they, that one of their own journalists was vetted like that. they, well, they were not happy with that. if true, this abuse of government surveillance powers to target journalists, elected officials, and their stuff is deeply disturbing if multiple government agencies were aware of this conduct and took no action to stop it. that needs to be serious consequences for every official involved and department of homeland security and the justice department must explain what actions they're taking to prevent this unacceptable conduct in the future. will officially the customs and border patrol unit, which is, well, it is the umbrella under which this, you know, a secret unit is operating by so they're saying that they do recognize the 1st

amendment of course and that they do everything in accordance with the low end accordance with the constitution, one of the persons, one of the see one of the c b p office is one of the units or offices. rather jeffrey rambo. who was singled out in this report. he has dismissed the a he has dismissed the allegation, saying that they were well just sensationalist. under that, there was nothing out of the ordinary that they did not do anything that they did not step over the line by doing all of that that it was just common practice. and apparently that's how the unit operates to this very day. and so, according to them, according to the officials, they are again acting in accordance with the constitute with the constitution as well. are jeffrey rambo. he was subject of an investigation or when the information came to light. but earlier this year, the prosecution essentially they dropped the case and he was not charged with anything ard, eager down off. thank here for

a democratic party. alarm bells are ringing and the key state of florida after republicans overtook them for the 1st time in modern history. that is when it comes to the number of registered voters and ultimately with next years or crunch. midterm elections looming a democrats and are wondering how to reverse their historic slide. i, his correspondent caleb martin, 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 there's 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 lashonda, as well as national party leadership will at this point, consider florida to simply be a red state. they'll 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 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 the u. s. 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 is once again, making headlines instead of reporting on them. just a week off the network sacked stoppers until chris quorum over was roland fighting his brothers sexual harassment allegations. one of his producers has now been accused of attempting to laura miners for sex. a motel is not without is 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 author. 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 old daughter was trained properly. griffin lay to 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 he says, lying drove them to his loot lo 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 on 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 just isn't going to cut it. bryan 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 a 9 year old girl. this is cnn. i like to par, were you ignored one of cnn's producers being federally charged with child sex crimes? this is your information force. but san and kenny thinks his few as have no problem with the giving answer guessing. like when it welcomes back chief legal analyst, jeffrey toobin off there his and bower sing, scandal, in which he pleasure himself during a live video conference. then that's chris cuomo, the well known c. n. n. anchor dismissed for advising his disgraced new york. my

brother who faced multiple allegations of sexual harassment but only forgiven and he'll be back on screens as early as next month, say reports at the channels ratings free for losing a massive 76 percent of his audience since january this year. perhaps his case is like this, but that actually resonating with few us. yeah, the story right now continues online at all t dot com, click on the usa section and scroll down. have a look at the comment section as well. the comments, certainly shutting some interesting angles on that story. well, this is auto international, half part of the our hero. moscow we are back soon with. ah ah ah

ah, all central banks, all banks, all unfair bible committees on viable centers of our arc run. some of them are very corrupt, some of them are extremely current 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 bitcoin on top of that been rocketry if you can build a fantastic country that fantastic culture. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms. race is open, very dramatic development. only really i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk ah

good.
