will do our best to answer as many questions as with america's big budget priorities. put the pentagon over the pandemic. those president biden signs off an enormous $700000000000.00 defense plant for washington . global vaccination campaign keeps running out of cash. mm hm. are really to slant australia's policy of deporting convicted criminals to new zealand saying it's causing a surgeon, gang related crimes. it is not good enough that new zealand is becoming a penal colony for australia and just deporting your problem. one does not solve the problem of gangs in both australia and new zealand. and the proponents of critical race theory faces a barrage of criticism for suggesting parents should not the side or the children are taught in schools. we discuss where the u. s. history is in need of a classroom overhauled the claim to be the moral high ground. it claims to be the

beacon a truth, but all it's doing is dividing. people confuse the children and wanting children to turn against each other. this is a fear of the rate from hearing and having to embrace the truth with either wednesday morning at 9 here in moscow. my name is colleen brian, this is your world used for marci international 1st for a while the world rounds up another year struggling to combat the kobe pandemic. americans got a different priority with joe biden signing a whopping $700000000000.00 military budget for the upcoming year. now, even by america's own estimate, that's a 100 times more than the cost of vaccinating the entire planet. where i guess they have looked at how even an era defining health crisis county rail, washington's massive defense spending. it's bigger than it's bad, other than ever before. america's new military budget, $777700000000.00. so vast,

it board doesn't monstrous, and it's still not enough. say the people who passed it are nations facing many threats right now. just read the paper every day. china russia ran in yet the budget was actually pro provided by the white house. was a cut, pretty dramatic code if you look at it as in john adjusted for inflation. it is remarkable. these lawmakers they'll, they'll sit there and argue for weeks months about maternity leave, or building roads or bridges or, or walls. but the better part of a trillion dollars on a war machine back $88.00 for 11 against passed and the next day that will come to work and to congress and. and they'll wonder where the heck all their money went. i also find it amusing that senator mansion indicates his worry about the deficit after voting justice week for a military budget of $778000000000.04 times greater than build back better over 10

years and $25000000000.00 more than the president requested $778000000000.00. i mean $700000000.00 is a decimal here. a decimal. where rounding up and down by, by hundreds of millions, 16 times greater than russia's military budget, greater than the next 11 highest military budgets put together. a sudden that the human mind can barely comprehend. somewhat of the extra billions going towards the secretary shall take appropriate action to increase the ease of low emission initial fee and net 0 initial energy technologies in the operations programs project and activities of the department provided these is cost effective on with ally cycle of the nest and there's also a new ranko position in the u. s. military, according to the n d, a draft bill. and that is gender advisor. so troops can get help if they feel like

changing genders. we can only guess how many millions that's going to cost. and of course, none of this would be possible without china and russia because of whom the pentagon argued it needed more money. ginger sandy, we firmly opposed the u. s. slipping negative content concerning china or making an issue out of china for political manipulation is not implement negative content and articles in the act that target china and dummy's. chinese interests or hurts overall bilateral ties and cooperation and important areas. while the l g b t, q plus community may let out a sigh of relief, people that have been incarcerated. guantanamo bay innocence included without trial or justice for decades, will just have to wait a little longer. now one thing they didn't find any money for is, is a few dozen plane tickets to send guantanamo inmates home or to court. unfortunately, he section 1032 of the act continues to bar the use of funds to transfer

a guantanamo bay detainees to the custody or effective control of certain foreign countries. and section 1033 of the act bars, the use of funds to transfer guantanamo bay detainees into the united states unless certain conditions are met. it would cost an estimated $7000000000.00 to vaccinate billions. those who still can't get the vaccine. one percent of america's military budget, just one percent, to potentially hold the development of new strains and variance of coven. but no gender advise us in the electric cars for the pentagon. that's the priority. the more the pentagon spends on insanity, the more military contractors make money, isn't we're not at war with anybody. and why we need a military budget the, his bigger than the next over 10 nations combined. i mean that's, that's nonsense. now if you just ended that military industrial compet use ended

this massive military state and let people spend their own money as they see fit. you'd see people spending their money to help people far more effectively than you as a i d ever does. to provide health care for people overseas and not using that might hurt people the way the military does. ah, and using and indigenous leader is accusing australia of using his country as a dumping ground for convicted criminals. national murray, authority, chem and matthew to khaki says the neighbors behavior dawkins, the spirit of friendship between the countries. it is not good enough now that new zealand is becoming a penal colony for australia. and in just reporting your problem, why does not solve the problem of gangs in both australia and new zealand? it is not good enough just to say we're gonna stick a whole lot of people and apply on a government child applying and seem them back to new zealand. that is not the spirit of friendship that you will expect between 2 neighbors or even permanent

residence. you've lived in australia for more than 10 years can be deported under the migration acts, section 5 or one if they've been convicted of a drug offense or assault new zealand. politicians say that instead of rehabilitation, australia simply dumps them elsewhere and that's causing a surge of gang related crime in oakland. well spokesperson for australia's immigration minister says the government routinely removes foreign nationals from a range of countries to, to serious offenses in an effort to promote safety in australia. but matthew to khaki says the country needs to work with new zealand to find a better solution. now i also did that australian citizens, you know, it's easy just to deport the problem away. and australians want exactly what we want. we want safe communities. we do not want to say drugs being sold to our children. we are sick and tired of saying gun violence on our streets. one possible solution is a joint task force to address a couple of different things. and even though our police forces,

they do share information data or an intelligence at the moment, it would be good to see if we could just increase and including invest in joint resources. that means also having a look at information and intelligence to find out where these drug supplies networks are establishing themselves across southeast asia, even into the pacific being, let's do their job together as australia and new zealand and that an expert. and should parents have more say, and will their children are taught in schools? well, according to nicole jones, they shouldn't. she is the founder of the controversial $1619.00 project. we changed to reframe us history in terms of race views approving polarizing. i don't really understand this idea that parents should decide what's being taught. i'm not a professional educator. i don't have a degree in social studies or science. we send our children to school because we want them to be taught by people who have expertise in the subject area. and that

is not my job. as a parents, i have every right to ensure my child isn't being taught lies despite what nicole 100 jones says, how can this be promoted? could share anyone else to say parents don't get a say in our children's education. her position is faulty and shouldn't be listened to and must have a platform removed. sorry, but parents must be involved. come on, you pesky parents, just let her indoctrinate your kids in peace. i had a gentleman the 1619 project with the new york times 2 years ago. its goal is to highlight the legacy of slavery and also the contributions of black americans throughout us history, its core content from the projects, but included in school curriculum. and at least 5 us states. we discussed the issue with the legal analyst, jennifer braden de, massive and political activist anthony rogers, right. fortunately in america right now, the political faction is kind of taking over everything else including education. i think that's some of the concern here because really what you're trying to do is

refrain retrain children's mind. and that's, that could lead and, and we're seeing this now the rise and anxiety and political issues in children getting younger and younger every year. and i think parents have a right to be concerned about that. the major issue here is that professor hannah jones is actually talking about the truth and, and that's what's lacking so much in this nation right now. and it's really, really sad that even the most far right wing people in germany can accept the fact that there were nazis that carried out atrocities the fact that this nation was forge and a cauldron of white supremacy. slavery indigenous genocide and last matching is not alive at the end of the day. this is a fear of the right from hearing and having to embrace the truth. it's funny that the people on the side, the i are also talking about. also talking about not the germany because not the journey with a, with also the government and the order that the leadership there that started to

import this propaganda into that population to say if you agree or you don't, that is what my colleague is saying here. that what some of these new educational politicians are trying to are trying to impose on children on young children. and all that's going to do is continue dividing the population because one thing has happened from this they, they claim to be the moral high ground. it claims to be the beacon of truth, but all it's doing is dividing. people confuse the children and wanting children to turn against each other. i don't even know what just happened. that was a very interesting soliloquy. again, we're not trying to tear people apart from each other. truth is truth. if truth is going to hurt people that's on, on the people, and what you just heard in this very myopic and silly a soliloquy is that it's some sort of political motivation. truth just is, is, is truth. you cannot deny what has happened in this country. what is happening in this country. and you cannot deny that this country was founded in an image and

a lens of benefiting white people at the expense of other people. and that's just a fact you can absolutely talk and teach about history and about what happened in this country. them the horrific things that laboring without having to completely d do is completely unravel the fabric and the foundation of this country, the 3. but, but, you know, when it comes to truth migrant, we are so far off and when that used to mean it's not a relative term. you know, without c from moscow on the way environmental concerns. a leading consumers to buy products marketed as eco friendly. but how many of those so called sustainable goods are actually, while they say they are, it's our next story after the break. ah ah

oh, happy new year special kaiser a born with the one and only gerald salenti or it's nader of the trend forecast. man, you know, stuff ah

hello again. now tapping into our phase of rising pollution in climate change and other businesses are increasingly pumping up their eco friendly credentials. but how much of it is just marketing all these peter oliver looks at how some consumers in europe being duped by so called green washing. as we learn more about our impact upon the climate as increasing impetus on us all to keep that in mind when it comes to purchases. and that's also been seized upon by advertisers who are very keen to push their product as the best one for the environment. jim and consumer rights group food watch handout, a yearly award. the golden cream puff which shames those products that pitch themselves as green. but in reality, they're using climate concern to just shift more units. our diet has its share in the huge problems we face to day. the food industry now wants to cash in on

consumers, need for more sustainability and his marketing their products as a way of saving the environment and the climate. these of the products on german shells that made up the top 3 this year when it comes to green washing or promoting yourself is good for the climate when really you're not in the bronze medal position on these coffee. camp seals from hamburg faced coffee, roasted j. j damp oven, and partnership with the swiss. corporate giant morgan pick branded as composter, bowl and biodegradable. they are anything bought and waste companies will struggle to do anything with them other than incinerator them. second place goes to this bottle of volvic water, climate neutral, certified according to the packaging. it's the plastic bottle, so that's already not static. user usable. if you can, also, this water has to be transported all away from france when this perfectly good, much better for the environment. water coming out of tops and drinking fountains.

volvic on their parent company to non did have this to say in their defense. since august 2020, we have only used recycle pedi for our disposable bottles. for long transport routes. these bowels are the ecologically most sensible packaging. also, the company has launched a regional mineral water that is sold in class deposit battles. this year's winner was the see from our it river and their climate neutral chicken breasts. there's a lot of c o 2 produced getting a chicken from farm to supermarket wherever promise that is offset through a scheme that finances climate protection in the rain forests of peru. the problem is, according to the investigative work of food watch, that program doesn't seem to have had any of the desired effect. it can be demonstrated that the rate of deforestation in the perfect area, actually more than doubled after the project started. here's what we ever had to say for themselves. the reverie group had already reacted and us climate partner as

the project manager to submit an assessment based on the information available. unfortunately, this was previously not possible because the author of the study had not made direct contact with the rapid group climate partner or the local project developer boskus amazon. of course, this would have made the false allegations easy to refute. while the companies named in this particular awards ceremony are keen to stress that their climate action is legitimate. i guess the big takeaway is to make sure that when you buy something that advertises itself as good for the climate that they are going further than just a label on a bottle or a box. peter, all of her r. t. berlin, a civilians killed homes, destroyed those impacted by the us led war in afghanistan and not just statistics. now, throughout the year. parties online project unheard voices has been sharing some of that life changing experiences on both auto dot com and our youtube channel. i'm going to leave you this out with one of those stories,

a man who spent 3 years in notorious american run prisons abroad. i had to stop telling myself that i'm a father, that i am my son. i'm a husband. that i'm a human being. i started to whole myself what i had been told that i was, and that with my number 558, that was my number is going to be in room in may 2000. i was interrogated by the c i and the f b i and they threatened if i did not corporate to send me either to egypt serious to be so the tortured you're with us. are you with the enemy? there's no in between and that doctor still stay on the line. i

think it's quite clear to me at the united states response to the terrible acts of 911 was vengeance. the war on terror is not a police operation. it's a military operation. why they picked from me. it wasn't just me. they picked on everyone. you know, who knows? if anybody prepared to hand you over to complete the course you, you know, i live in the packet. that is the enemy overwrite, and i'm my parents and i'm a deal national. they handed me over to the americans without any legal process. i was held for a year in 2002 to 2003, and i saw 2 individuals beaten to death by american soldiers. these terrorists play by a whole set of different rules. it's going to force us in your words to get me

dirty and nasty in order to take them. i will use all tools at our disposal. the boys a few bad apples and isolated incidents one by one. the terrorists are learning the meaning of american justice. to lead this place. i pity my what me and i did. states was doing in afghanistan. they were bringing people to this torture sight afghans audrey african and abusing them outside of the rule of law. and then allowing some of them to go back home and they would go home and tell people what the americans did. by the time i got to guantanamo, i was begging to go to one tunnel because what i've seen and witness in background was so destructive to this day i haven't, i can't sleep. oh, i. several of

us was sent to one tunnel including several taliban members, who now heads of various departments from the actor and government, were tortured. we were stripped, we were beaten with spat upon. we were humiliated photographs. this was taken during this period of time. they had a sounds, a woman in the next room that led me to believe with my wife being tortured. they weighed with picture of my children in front of me and asked me where do you think they are now, what do you think happened to them? the night and took your way. and of course what they wanted me to do was to shine a confession that i was a member of al qaeda, which i was not. and this was, i'd say stand that i got it. i think i got it better than a lot of the other prisoners i

. oh, so this is the handmade calendar that i made when i was in guantanamo. i thought that perhaps if i counted the days that it will be easier. but when the days turn it 2 weeks and months, and then 2 years, i realize that it was just futile. when i received such letters from my children who are very young at the time, it's actually made it worse to look at the calendar and start to count down the days my children growing up without me. and every day, without them, with a stab in the heart. and they would come sporadically, they had to be vetted uncensored by the us censorship. my daughter who was 6 at the time, wrote a poem, 12345. once i caught official life and they redacted that because they said that has numbers in the a numbers could mean some sort of a code. so it was that kind of nonsensical reduction disconnecting from the idea of

being a father. ironically and sadly, but also my own personal faith, my belief in god my reading, the koran and again inexpensively becoming friends with several of the american soldiers who would bring me little snippets of inclination sometime next week in a chocolate. sometime that we can a dvd player and show me a film deluxe of humanity, that i have never forgotten to this. and i think i left on time to move, not hating america because of those soldiers, me messages directly from some american soldiers who say that this has been a, a war that has destroyed us as individuals. soldiers i've spoken to told me that

they cannot sleep at night. so i am in no doubt about the, the effects of this war, not just on the individuals, but on the nation as a whole of whom the soldiers representative me has gone to the shop and unity types destroyed. the united states produced a senate to report on torture, but not a single person was ever bought for charges. for these times. recently, i gave evidence international criminal court for their investigations of abuses by americans. enough. they were investigating the united states, the initial army and the taliban. the only ones who responded by threatening the international criminal court was the united states of america. they said that we will sanction all members of the national committee court. we will arrest any

members of the icpc who come to the usa or elsewhere that want to investigate us. i think the united states of america needs to step back if it wants to help any of any assistance to the people who understand it's got in a position to negotiate those conditions. it has, it has been an aggressor. the taliban already made gestures towards russia towards china to it's the wrong to it's pakistan with indonesia would be like states and britain in particular. i think the feeling very upset because this is a defeat that's a military defeat. however, you want to look at it and that imperial hubris, as it were, will not allow them to say that we need to move forward and continue within negotiations that we began in doha, that they cannot be any more favor rattling, it's no good for the asking people, it's no good credit center with britain or america. you've really got to find a way for

ah, what a piece and use as a merge. we don't have a charity. we told them of actually the whole world needs to take action and be ready. people are judgment, common crisis with we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is great, the response has been mess. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together with

at the end of every year across stock, answer some of your many questions. not surprisingly, many of your questions, concerns politics, the current international situation. and whether we should trust legacy median, we'll do our best to answer as many questions as we can. one of the was dba mess. shootings in america was in las vegas in 2017. the tragedy exploded a little of the real las vegas, where many se elected officials are controlled by casino knows the vegas shooting. revealed what the l v p d really is. and now it's part of the stand machine. most of the american public barely remembers that it happens. that just shows you the power of money in las vegas. the powerful showed that true colors when the pandemic hit the most contagious contagion that we've seen in decades. and then you have

a mayor who doesn't care. so here's carolyn goodman, offering the lives of the vegas resinous. to be the control group. to the shiny facades conceal a deep indifference to the people. wives could have been saved if they were to take an action. absolutely, keep the registering and keep the slot machines. dinging vegas is a money machine, is a huge cash register that is ran by people who don't care about people's lives being lost. ah ah no one is starting at the age of 14 and battled the next 5 years. his addiction eventually became psychotic, using very high potency wax and jumped off a 6 story building. i guess that was the only way she knew how to enter. ah,

today we're at the 2015 honda we're here what? oh, we pod or we'd shin him with edible. i'm some of the people in colorado. the early 2, thousands, colorado became a test bed for medical and then later recreational marijuana. you know, at the time i wasn't really concerned, i didn't have a strong opinion about it. either way. i didn't know that marijuana had changed so drastically from when we were younger. when johnny turned 18, he was able to very easily get a,

a medical card and then he was able to legally purchase, possess, and consume very high t h. c. products that led to the psychosis. you know, he ultimately died as a result of the psychosis brought on by high to see marijuana. and i believe that if he had never consumed marijuana that he'd still be here today. ah, ah, hello connie boyd and i live in denver, colorado. my son was diagnosed his kit to frontier, specifically from cannabis 4 years ago. careless and a gifted program through elementary and middle school.
