i was more if it's 16 yet. no more. yeah. a classmate wasn't talking to cash in a plastic with the death of innocence lives destroyed an afghan whistleblower lift the lid on america's drone program in this country. the operator currently hiding from the taliban and spoke with ortiz unheard voices project. leading belgian engineers left dismayed as the government decides to close down all nuclear reactors within 3 years, even though atomic funds generate almost all the countries electricity. and also on

the way, i think, what the living room of the house that what i can piece together from what the neighbors are telling me to use to be home. some 10 people who've now played out he travels to the battle grounds at the on going civil war. and ethiopia speaking to civilians have been caught up in the company. and people in florida said that the phosphate mining industry is ruining the help with radioactive waste. and the documentary that we'll be adding on our t like for today, and i'm behind that film, told us about the things that we found that level we tested the water radiation, they kind of run roughshod over everybody in the local areas. a father got lost looking around the channel, the watching r t. glad to join gun drone operators working from the united states

were kept in the dark about civilian deaths according to a whistleblower who spoke to auto about his work during the u. s. war on terror, he's currently in hiding from the taliban. he fears for his life and has refused even to contact his family in an effort to keep them safe. he shared his story with us in artes, project unheard voices. vallejo, we live in a horrible situation. very bad conditions, be honestly, i am fed up with my life. that's kind of it. so i'm in hiding alone. underground. yeah, i can't go outside. i'm hopeless and i ask myself, do i have the right to live a peaceful life in my own homeland will not let me save strength. i wish i had been born in a different country needed that decimal guardian telling me that would be like a pillow top. we had

to operate our drones as an 8 hours per day. and then the same at night there was a u. s. company and the afghan government assigned an agreement with he said we were employed by this company. they scam eagle with each month one pilots conducted $1720.00 drone strikes. it could be more than that, but not blessed with

data throughout all operations, we were not told about any civilian deaths. nobody told us that we had hit the wrong target to that. and the statistics on this were out of our control. we didn't have access to this data. ah, ah, ah, because at the port we lost a couple of our pilots in the last days of our work. and after the taliban took over and one was arrested in cobble. and the 2nd, when he was visiting his family, some drone pilots were also beaten and humiliated. and 3 or 4 of our colleagues are missing with a even the closest relatives don't know where they are. sex age, they blinking is leading to continue diplomatic efforts to ensure a safe passage for any american afghan partner or foreign national wants to lead up

again as to what we're doing. every single minute of every single hour of every single day is working to create a safe passage for all civilians, including the afghans who worked for us to the airport to get them on planes and get them out. we worked intensely to evacuate and relocate and work alongside us in our particular risk reprise of our commitment to them has no deadline of let me put it this way and yes, i've lost my own people. know i'm hiding at different places. i can't stay in one place. i can't meet my family. 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 are tapping our phone. this. me in. i

guess we have lost our way. what can we do and what will they do to us? we are counting our last breast. they might kill us today or tomorrow. 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. there is no one to help us in this situation . i live in here and i have to wonder why i was born in this hell. i am a human being. i have the right to free life. will the us led mission in afghanistan as defended the drawing program, saying that the afghan army cannot operate without outside assistance to get more stories on how the war on terror enough gonna send us change people's lives. you should check out our on heard voices project. it's available on our website, off the paradoxical counter productive on how belgian engineers have described a government decision to de nuclear arise,

the country over the next 3 years. brussels will shut down, all is nuclear reactors and redirect investment continue 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 there are 2 nuclear power stations in belgium, containing 7 reactors. they generate almost half of the country's electricity. the authorities say that avoiding nuclear energy will make power production safer. and that it's in line with the comedy you goal of going green. but it all comes as europe's grappling with an energy crisis that is seen prices soaring to record highs in neighboring france and germany known for the nuclear power capabilities. the cost of atomic energy has spiked. the paris closed one of his plans and halted operations of another over suspected security system. faults of the germany and

intensity, close all of its nuclear power plant for the end of next year. and we'll start with his brought off site on new z. closer will leave the country with 3 nuclear power station. and germany responded to that news with mixed reactions. i found it was on and it has its pros and cons, but actually here in brook there for only so advantages. other countries are building nuclear power plants to and the question is, where do we get our electricity from? and it isn't the out of the finally, it's happening and i'm very happy about it. because you never know if an accident might occur, or thought people might try to destroy it. of course, are people in the village to see things differently because the village has become rich on taxpayer money. if you drive through the village, you'll see how much was invested in it. and i think it's an important decision, but i also think we're not there yet. we can't get from renewable energy. what we're getting from nuclear power. many locals works and we have to see where they

will end up, but some people will definitely lose their jobs. we discussed issue with charlie boyle, who's an independent journalist and ryan, a clue to the chairman of german. you can 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 replaces a low carbon energy form by a common intensive form of electricity. and this is just the opposite of climate protection, but 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's for a purely easier, 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 politicians may well police. but as usual, the practicalities always take now the reality is sinking high inflation. a huge demand surge going in the winter. and we, we simply can't have a situation where energy prices are going up. 1200 percent. we need to have a profit plan around the world, the country as to how they get a transition to renewables. what the mixture is going to be going to need to be honest about me, which are completely ah, a new you and report says that all parties in ethiopia, civil war have committed atrocities and that they include rape, lawful, killing, and torture. they ruthless conflicts being waged by the 2 great people's liberation front and the e. c. o p, and government article split pool 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, bet hon. 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 work that soldiers, people who witness to tennessee of the grand people's liberation party. and the supporters have been largely because the hospitals in the areas 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 women where admitted in our hospital and the majority of women

were treated and discharge you called the beta improvement and the remaining contain saturday. i did meet her still, we kind of easy to them. and one, it was a calamity is 80 years old. woman. yeah. 8180. and she was late. yeah. she wrapped and you kind of cut defense. she's not in our hospital by heating the news. it's very shocking. good news, raping 80. you saw the woman, chancellor, it's the same. so let's say that either it was it was also a cause or otherwise psychology. ah, can you often if they've okay to talk to us, is that valinda?

they okay. they're oh, i mean that's 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, to be come up 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 5th months of my pregnancy and i was the baby. i'm not sure if i'll ever be fine again. i normally do teaching. i'm high school teacher, double boss, but after the war broke out, i just came here to add a button to date. if younger berman said i'd,

she's best, it's best to, to not start to watch. we see the cnn, bbc, da, 0 and transfer for international media which are doing together with a t p forces. because we have in place that people who are caught by the soldiers who sat on to 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 and then re people key and see whatever to in blame day japan, the soldiers. ok. they produce that movie. they produce quite effect pictures from different places and they said, the government, the government is bombarding touch with in most ah, well now we're going to go to

a nearby town where actually most of the rate victims come from off the, during their harrowing stories. we now go and see the actual damage that was left behind. ah, i'm spending what i think was the living room of a house that 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 family in addis ababa in the capital city. i mean the town of kaya and the pilgrim 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 new . so not only did they lose the home,

but they also burn it when they lift 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? well, the, you and human rights council, lily a voted for an independent investigation into the atrocities committed by all sides . and the government crackdown, ethiopia itself proclaimed the decision politically motivated and refused to cooperate, exit se, they'll need a year to collect evidence. and to build prosecution cases. a german restaurant,

sir says that he will not changed the name of his establishment, which has been called racist by some locals will be hearing from the owner of the moors. heads themselves after this break. ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, a ah

ah are special yeah, today the old in the legendary virus 9 author of planet pansy. net nice to see happy holidays with soaring cancer rates, deteriorating living conditions and pollution in florida. these are all being blamed on phosphate mining. does locals fight for the land and the health mining giant accused of polluting the waterways is planning to open another site later today, artie will be hearing a documentary about the situation is a previous one of the most toxic places in america ah, florida,

one of florida's biggest industries and best kept secrets is fostering in the biggest layer. it is an $85000000000.00 industry. is mosaic, and i, there are reports of millions of gallons of contaminated water now flowing into the florida, offer a chronic. i don't wanna hear that word towards me, but that's what it is. i'm in 2013 my uncle, our family dog. my brother was 21 years old, myself in my father were all a problem with a good player. right? yeah. maybe they'll actually, we're, that far hill is more important than will the company responded to accusations made in the documentary by saying that it doesn't

accurately portray the cancer risks associated with mining eli this year, a 1000000 gallons of waste water from a former mining facility belonging to another company leaked in florida, the states building an injection well to pump out the remaining water. that's something environmental a site could also lead to dangerous consequences for the state. filmmaker very crown who made that documentary previewed that 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 backyard, we had these issues where we were poisoning children in a way that regularly is actually regulated and allowed. so, you know, as soon as i saw that i thought this is something we can stop and if he's environmental cancers, 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 testings, so they simply do their own tests and then provide the results to the states. so

there is no oversight. you act 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 i 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 and 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 run roughshod over everybody in the local areas. and he can watch the full documentary, little later on today on our channel as well as right through the day tomorrow. a restaurant owner in the german city of keels refusing to change his establishment name from the morse head, which local village is racist. andrew on wagner, originally from nigeria told his why he sticking with the name or no more than cough i don't feel discriminated against in any way. warren. coff does not races to me. morrow. moore's head has no degrading meaning at all. the name more has

a positive connotation. some 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. those blacks have no self awareness. i'm old enough and have the knowledge and brain snow when my feelings are hurt. i don't the white people to explain to me when my feelings are hurt. all the turn more has cost control the see before in germany, activists of decry it's alleged colonial connotations. successfully petitioning to get berlin's former more. st renamed, the influx of migrants into germany in recent years, is made some there increasingly aware of the possible offence. certain words might be causing even traditional children. songs are being effected with the popular 3 chinese with the double bass leading to legal action over its alleged racial overtones. and it's not just the germans european commission is caused a stir by issuing guidelines on inclusive language is suggested avoiding supposedly loaded words such as christmas and men. knight politicians from the right though,

while they pounds on that initiative and got cancelled mister andrew and glove of new eg. bu. again, explain why he thinks that this idea was misguided from the very start. the much dimension, most big people need to realize the police in a language does not prevent racism, that 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 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. u. s. cities as in crime rates comparable with the 19 ninety's and some areas of broken

alter records when it comes to homicides is prompted me as to jump off the beef on the police bandwagon. chicago new tours for his problems with violent crime is among those now looking to boost levels of the long foresman. once again. serious chronic making headlines on a lot of days. most recently, there was a mole shoot out in the suburbs and the double robbery of high and brand stores that were situated opposite one another. local media also report shootouts, a happening even in can once considered safe neighborhoods. chicago man, laurie lightfoot, who previously wanted to slash police funding, says the situation is actually forced to do the opposite. i have formerly asked the attorney general of the united states merrick garland, too, with all deliberate haste, detail atf agent to chicago for 6 months. so that we can increase the number of gun investigations and seizures in chicago. recording to chicago police, there were hundreds more shootings in the city this year than last when there were

more than 3000 murders. also seen a significant spike in numbers with 793 committed this year. san francisco is also battling a crisis drugs last year. it's mad promised to retire at millions from the police. now she says the city needs to enforce the law more aggressively from a police officer. dominic, as i says, vilification is made it harder for the police just to do that job. the crime in chicago is 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 states 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 of the lines of 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 the 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? that's it for this news. i thanks so much for your company. i hope you enjoy me when i return this more in half an hour. ah, ah, is your media a reflection of reality?

in the world transformed what will make you feel safe? isolation, whole community? are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah

ah ah, i was diagnosed with cancer in 2005. the doctors didn't really know what kind of cancer it was or how to treat it. they explained i was part of a growing population of people with hybrid cancer's from environmental factors. my tumors were growing aggressively of

a dangerous. they'd eventually grow over my organs and kill. i became a full time patient. my life only happened in between surgeries, radiation, and experimental drugs. when the doctors told me the cancer was incurable, i knew i had to make a change, and i decided to give up the comfort of security and instead, travel around the world, investigating environmental pollution in crime and see if i could find other reasons that were leading to these rise and cancer rates and i got to work on some amazing direct action campaigns. really took me into remote areas. there is pollution everywhere. but aside from the plastics there were also multinational corporations polluting into local river ways, getting everyone around them sick for profit and with access to clean water disappearing every day people were fighting back.
