or special yes. today, the only legendary mid virus 9 other planet ponzi match. nice to see. happy holidays. with the death of innocence and lives destroyed in africa. whistleblower lift the lid on america's drone program in his country. they are operated currently in hiding from the taliban. spoke to out he's unheard. voices project. leading belgian engineers. the left is made is the government decides to shut down all nuclear reactors within the next 3 years, even though atomic plants generate almost all the countries electricity. and also to complete what i think, what the living room of

a house that what i can get from what the neighbors are telling me, used to be home some 10 people who now fled troubles to the battle grounds of the ongoing civil war. and ethiopia, speaking to civilians, you've been caught up in the conflict and people in florida say that the phosphate mining industry is ruining the health is radioactive. weiss documentary that will be related today or not take on that film. told us about the things he learned. we found that level we tested the water radiation, they kind of run roughshod over everybody in the local areas a paper. good morning, appreciate you. company here on our t international afghan drawing operators working for the united states were kept in the dark when it came to severe deaths. that's according to

a whistleblower who spoken to arte about his work during the us war on terror. he's currently in hiding from the taliban, if his for his life refusing even to contact his family, in an effort to keep them safe. and he shares with his his story in ortiz project unheard voices. while ale, we live in a horrible situation. very bad conditions. what's on the be honestly, i am fed up with my life that about so i'm in hiding alone with the way underground . yeah, i can't go outside. i'm hopeless for somebody. i ask myself, do i have the right to live a peaceful life in my own homeland or not it me said straight, and i wish i had been born in a different country to me at the decimal. got the telling me that would be like a pillow top, we had to operate our drones. i was an 8 alice today. and then the same at night

there was a u. s. company and the afghan government was signed an agreement with he. so we were employed by this company with a scam eagle. with each month one pilots conducted $1720.00 drone strikes. it could be more than that, but not less with

data throughout operations, we were not told about any civilian deaths. nobody told us that we had hit the wrong targets, and the statistics on this were out of our control. we didn't have access to this data. ah, ah, ah, because i'm in at the pool. we lost a couple of our pilots in the last days of our work in fin after the taliban. so cova and one was arrested in cobble. and the 2nd, when he was visiting his family, some drone pilots were also beaten and humiliated eligible and 3 or 4 of our colleagues are missing with a even the closest relatives don't know where they are. in the problem, sex age, they blanket is leading. the continued diplomatic efforts to ensure safe facets for any american afghan partner or foreign national wants to leave afghanistan. what we

are doing every single minute of every single hour of every single day is working to create safe passage for all civilians, including the afghans who work for us to the airport to get them on planes and get them out. we worked intensely to evacuate and relocate afghans who worked alongside us and our particular risk of reprising are committed to them. has no deadline. oh, let me put it this way and yes, i've lost my own people. no, i'm hiding at different places. i can't stay in one place. i can't meet my family, but i don't even know how my family is doing now. i can't see them with my colleagues. we can't see or contact each other because we are afraid the taliban now tapping our phones. eulu, now we all hopeless. we have lost our way. what can we do?

and what will they do to us? we'll counting our last breaths because they might kill us today or tomorrow. i'm a, i have one son staying with me and when he goes out to buy something to eat, he says he is afraid of being killed lot yet. so there is no want to help us in this situation. i live in phil, and i have to wonder why i was born in this hell, i am a human being. i have the right to free life. the u. s. sleds mission and i've kind of done as defended the drone program saying that the african army can now operate it without outside assistance to get more stories on how the war on terror in afghanistan has changed people's lives. check out our project on heard voices. it's available on our website can don't come in paradoxical and counter productive. that's how belgian engineers have described a government decision to dean nuclear eyes. the country over the next 3 years. brussels will shut down all of its nuclear reactors and re direct investment into

new technologies. the government's decision to phase out nuclear energy, the largest source of low carbon energy in belgium, and to finance new fossil gas power plants is paradoxical and counterproductive. this decision would only reinforce the predominance of fossil fuels in the belgian energy landscape. currently for to nuclear plants in belgium, contending 7 reactors and generate almost half the country's electricity authority, say that avoiding nuclear energy will make power production safer. and that it's in line with the common you go to go green, but it all comes in europe grapples with an energy crisis that seen prices soaring to record highs in neighboring france, germany known for their nuclear power capabilities, the cost of atomic energy spiked of de paris clothes, $1.00 of its plants and halted operations at another over suspected security system . faults, as germany intends to close all his nuclear power plants by the end of next year, starting with the brought off site, uneasy. globally,

the country with 3 nuclear power stations and germans responded to the news with mixed reactions. as authentic woman and tyler, it has its pros and cons. but actually here in bergdorf we only saw advantages, other countries are building nuclear power plants to and the question is, where do we get our electricity from? i'm and it isn't the other the finally it's happening and i'm very happy about it because you never know if an accident might occur, ortho people might try to destroy it. yes, of course. there are people in the village that see things differently because the village has become rich on taxpayers, money, money. if you drive through the village, you'll see how much was invested in it board, ola palupa, and i think it's an important decision. but i also think we're not there yet. we can't get from renewable energy, and we're, we're getting from nuclear power of many locals work there. and we have to see where they will end up. but some people will definitely lose their jobs. are you? what are we discuss the issue with charlie boyle, who's an independent journalist and also are on the clute, the chairman of

a german nuclear activist organization. solar and wind are not available 100 percent of the time while nuclear is so you have to fill the gaps with fossil generation. and this is a tremendous hom for the climate because belgium replace is a low carbon energy form by a common intensive form of electricity. and this is just the opposite of climate protection. what belgium is doing year it is, it is of no use for the climate. it's. it's not climate protection it's, it's arming the climate and it fall purely your logical read reason of the green party. once again it's, it's all about like a plan and seen a missed call point score and they may well lease. but as usual, the practicalities always take now the reality is sinking high inflation,

a huge demand surge getting in the winter. and we, we simply can't have a situation where energy prices are going up. 1200 percent here. we need to have a plant on around the world, but i think it's transmission. renewable is what the mixture is going to be going to need to be honest. about me, so don't worry, which are completely new. un report says that all parties in ethiopia, civil war have committed atrocities and that they include rape, unlawful killing, and torture. the ruthless conflicts being ways by the to greg people's liberation front and the open government. all these pull asleep traveled to the country and met some of the victims. i'm a 135 kilometers from the capital city of addis ababa in a city called deborah

b at han. now this is the 1st city when you're traveling from the capital. when you get a sense of the impact of the fighting over the past few weeks in the past few days . and that is because the victims rate victims, people who were that soldiers, people who witness to tennessee of the people's liberation party. and the supporters have been largely because the hospitals in the areas that were under fighting were completely destroyed. so this is the main hospital here. we're going to try and get in and see if we can talk to some of the victims and to some of the doctors about what is happening and whatnot. so far about 25 minutes where i'd meet at the normal speed and the majority of women were treated in discharge you called the beta improvement and the remaining contain

saturday. i did meet that here has been kind of easy to them. and what was the calamities for 80 years old woman? yeah. 8180. and she was rapes. yeah. she wrapped and you kind of meeting the said she's not in our house with them by heating the news. it's very shocking. good news. wrapping 80. you saw the woman, chancellor. it's the same. so let's say that either it's because it has also as it has or are there, i have to say college i often if they've okay to talk to us that one into their oh, i

mean that when i was asleep during the 19 knocked on the door and said, please open the door, then he punched me. took me down, and rate me. i don't know him. he was a stranger with a gun. i'll never forget what he did to me. ah. when they came to my home accusing me of being the wife of one of their enemies, i denied it, but they just burst into my home, tied me up and then for them raped me. i was in the 6 months of my pregnancy and i lost the baby. i'm not sure if i'll ever be fine again. i normally do teaching. i'm high school teacher. but after the war broke out, i just came here to add to the thought baton bought into younger, but a man said i'd, she's best, it's best to not start the wash as we see the cnn bbc data

and runs through any port. let me know that international media we are doing together with a t p forces because we have seen in place that people who are caught by the soldiers who sat on the so just a little cold. but so just they said, we are for money told by our leaders for waiting to be on there. if you're gonna force a uniform us, re, people can see us whatever in blame day to be on the soldiers. ok. they produce that movie. they produce quite effect pictures from different places. they say it depends on me, but government bombarding churches and i, well now we're going to go to a nearby town where actually most of the right victims come from during their harrowing stories. we now go and see the actual damage that was left behind. ah,

ah, ah, i'm spending what i think was the living room of a house. that's what i can piece together. what the neighbors are telling me. use to be home. some 10 people who've now fled and have taken refuge with the family in addis ababa in the capital city. i mean, the town of attire and the grand people's liberation front, and the allies came here at least a time. so that's a different occasion. and the last time they stayed for 18 days. so as you can see, they've completely destroyed homes like this. i mean there's absolutely nothing. so not only did they lose the home, but they also burnt it when they left. and not only are people still afraid to come back, but there's really not much to come back to. i mean, if you look yeah,

even the window frame. absolutely. everything has been taken everything. ah, the wall has been raging for just over a year and the government keeps promising. it will in soon. but for people who live here, it's already too late. they've lost everything. policy a r t e c. ok. the you and human rights council, lily a voted for an independent investigation into and the atrocities committed by all sides. and the government track down ethiopia itself is reclaimed, the decision politically motivated and has refused to cooperate. experts say they'll need at least a year to collect evidence and build prosecution cases. a german restaurant, sir says that he will not change the name of his establishment, which has been called racist by some local school. be hearing from the owner of the

more head after the short ah oh, driven by dream shapes banks concur. some of those with dares sinks, we dare to ask for what we got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race move is often very dramatic development only personally and

going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk with ah, soaring cancer rates, deteriorating living conditions and pollution in florida. these are all being blamed on phosphate mining. those locals that 5 for the london, their health, the mining giant accused of polluting the waterways is planning to open another site. later today, all tea will be airing. a documentary about the situation is a preview. one of the most toxic places in america ah, florida, one of florida's biggest industries and best kept secrets is phosphoric wine in the

biggest layer in 80. $5000000000.00 industry is mosaic. and i, there are reports of millions of gallons of contaminated water now flowing into the florida aqua a chronic. i don't want to work towards me, but that's what it is. in 2013 my, all our family dog, my brother, who is 21 years old, myself and my father and we're all a, a good player. yeah. maybe they'll actually, we're, that far hill is more important than all the company responded to accusations made in that documentary by saying that it doesn't accurately portray the cancer risks associated with mining early this year,

a 1000000 gallons of waste water from a former mining facility belong to another company leaked in florida, the state is building an injection well to pump out the remaining water that something environmentally say could also lead to dangerous consequences for the state will make eric crown. he made that documentary explains why he made it as i was traveling around the world, doing a lot of direct action conservation work. i started to see that right in my own back yard. we had these issues where we were poisoning children in a way that regularly is actually regulated and allowed to come. so, you know, as soon as i saw that with i thought this is something we can stop. and if these environmental answers, if we're able to stop them, it's our obligation to investigate and stop them for continuing. one interesting thing is they're allowed to do their own testing is fast, so they simply do their own tests and then provide the results to the state. so there is no oversight, you active on this entire industry statewide. and that is where we're finding the

difficulties. you know, i was able to come up with it by going through the public records of the different counties that have mining and mining areas and they're all their leading cause of death was cancer and their rates were extremely higher. i spoke to a lot of people that had been silenced by them by music directly. as a matter of fact, one person who spoke of recently had a gag order placed on them where they could not speak publicly about mosaic, which i just thought was crazy. actually, the gag order said you're not allowed to speak about music on facebook in for somebody to lose the 1st amendment, right. like that. that shows a lot of influence in the area. you know, we find that most it goes through and they kind of gain the favor of a lot of people by putting a lot of money into the local communities. but at the same time they're, they're presenting this nice picture while they're also getting everybody sick at the same time. you know, and it was, it was maddening for me because we did find cancer causing chemicals,

and it was proven in the movie. we even found one of their outfalls had there, there's a level that they're not supposed to go over and we found that level and we tested the water of radiation. so we're finding that there's, there's just, again, there's no oversight into this type of an industry. and they kind of rush shot over everybody in the local areas. and you can watch the full version of the documentary later today on our channel as well as right through to morrow. the restaurant owner in the german city of keel is refusing to change his establishment. his name from the moores. had locals alleged that that name is racist. andrew, on the work be originally from nigeria told us while he sticking with it or not more than cough, i don't feel discriminated against in any way this. lauren cough does not raises to me morrow. moore's head has no degrading meaning at all. the name more has a positive connotation. so black people consider the name races, but not many. some of those black to see the name as discriminatory,

were pushed in that direction by clueless germans and those blacks have no self awareness. i'm old enough and have the knowledge and brains know when my feelings are hurt. i don't know white people to explain to me when my feelings are hurting. well, the term more has cause controversy before in germany. activists of decried it's alleged colonial connotations, successfully they petition to get berlin's former more. st. renamed, the influx of migrants into germany missing uses made some there increasingly aware of the possible offence that certain words cause even traditional children song sobbing, affected the popular 3 chinese with the double bass lead to legal action over alleged racial overtones. it's not only germans, the european commission is caused a bit of a stir by issuing guidelines on inclusive language is suggested avoiding supposedly loaded words like christmas. a manmade politicians from the right pounced on the initiative. they got it cancelled mister andrew unwed. bu again,

explain why the idea was misguided from this thought. the munch dimension, most people need to realize the police in a language does not prevent racism. i've been in germany for almost 30 years now. and i wonder who are the victims of the language that is spoken here every day about so it's not the black people. i can't imagine a black person here getting his high school diploma then wanting to study at university and someone saying you're not allowed to study here. that doesn't happen much, much, much if you are entitled to a post. no one will say, you won't get this post because you're a blacker error, asian. there is no such thing. you shouldn't import that from the u. s. to germany . that's why i think this discussion is wrong, shameful, and absolutely ridiculous. what is being said by politicians and the public is the wrong thing to do. racism in germany is being fought in the wrong way. us cities in crime rates comparable to the $990.00 some areas. we're breaking all time records when it comes to homicides, and it's prompted nice to jump off the from the police band when get chicago

notorious for problems with violent crime is among those now looking to boost levels of law enforcement. serious crimes making headlines most days. recently, a mall shootout in the suburbs and the double robbery of high and bronze stools that were opposite one another. local media report, shootouts are happening even in what considered once safe neighborhoods, chicago man, laurie lightfoot previously wanted to slash police fun. the banal says the situation is forcing me to do the opposite. i have formerly asked the attorney general of the united states merrick garland too, with all deliberate haste, detail, a t f. agents to chicago for 6 months, so that we can increase the number of gun investigations and seizures in chicago. according to chicago police, there were hundreds more shootings in the city this year than last when there were more than $3000.00 murders of also spiked significantly. $793.00 committed this

year. san francisco's also got a crisis is battling drugs last year. the mother promised to redirect millions of dollars from the place. now she says that the city needs to enforce the law more aggressively from police officer. dominic is osis vilification as made it harder for the police just to do their job. the crime in chicago was out of control if you are considering coming to the chic city, chicago for vacation, you've never been here. do not come here. do not try to enjoy the streets of michigan avenue in state street. your chances of being mugged carjacked shot, stabbed, beaten, are extremely high. chicago is out of control. the police are not allowed to do their jobs. when the police do their jobs are vilified by the media. they're vilified by the local government. they're vilified by the mayor's office. they're vilified by the citizens. you are not safe if you come to chicago, so until the state steps up and does their job, you're going to have complete utter, lawless, and chaos here. and chicago's going to it's, it's, it's drowning. it's, it's drowning and i don't know if it can be saved. it's laughable. it shouldn't

even be up for discussion why we're looking at, laurie lightfoot, who refused the help from the federal government when a different president was in office. but now, because one aligned with her political view, she does it. this is, this is offensive. it's very sad. we have to remove all emotions when we talk about this so that we're not looking like we're taking a person's character. but we have to attack with a person is or is not able to do. she is not able to lead. she is unqualified. she is, she is an utter utter failure. who needs to be removed from office? nothing she brought up to date. i'll return with more not up stories. ah, join me every thursday on the alex simon. so i'll be speaking to guess of the world politics. small business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm. i was diagnosed with

cancer in 2000 lives. when the doctors told me the cancer was incurable. i knew i had to make a change. so i decided to travel to one of the most toxic places in america. florida. one of florida is biggest industries and best kept secrets, is fostering in the biggest player in $85000000000.00 industry is mosaic, and i, there are reports of millions of gallons of contaminated water now flowing into the florida aqua for a chronic. oh, well, you don't want to hear that word poets, but that's what it is in 2013 my, all our family dog, my brother, who is 21 years old, myself and my father were all guy rob rob jeff, the problem with black hole and the good play, right?

yeah, yeah. maybe they'll actually were more help is more important than with hello and welcome to cross stock. were all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle . there is no such thing as unilateral security. all real security is always collected. this is precisely how russia views, endless western hostility and nato expansion to the east. moscow is presented ways to avoid conflict and assure all security is the west to sleep at the switch.

ah, to discuss these issues and more, i'm joined by my guess, marcus papadopoulos in london. he is a historian analyst, an author of the book, arise, receive the return of russia to world politics. and in budapest we have toward semi, well, he is a podcast to read the gaggle which can be found on youtube and locals are generally crossed up rules. and the fact that means you can jump in any time you want. and i always appreciate it. i start out in budapest here, george, it's up in about a week now since the russians have sent 2 proposals to the united states and nato. we've gotten mixed reactions from the foreign policy blob. a peer, apparently in july will be some kind.
