7:11 pm
i see it says all our beautiful sexual between the cool site that is military and, but i'm literally, i think it is long. and if you want to, doesn't resolve, the military won't be able to fight for long because you should not forget the food on army in film. so many one and one is not here to strongest army in africa. and this trend book by the military forces just of 111th on one, was decker. the obviously also on the, i don't one here. what did you leave, go me made. these dies the front of the forces. what, what is of the party some form for what do you support, things like that. i'm going to need food, then you go to hell, you know, like situation. and he won't leave, you know why i'm seeing that because you guys a bit, i'm looking for a month,

canada's national public broadcaster c b c says is quitting twitter after being branded as 69 percent state funded by the platform. twitters new labeling policy also saw britain's b. b. c slot, with a similar label last week, sparking outrage from the corporations management archie contributed rachel mars it has been looking into the story before elaine must spot twitter, the western press just collectively shrugged when chinese and russians linked media like r t or slash with these government funded labels, it's like it never occurred to them to stand up and say, hey, wait a minute. we could be next because our own media outlets get government support that never occurred to them because it seemed like the western establishment would pretty much always have some sort of control over platforms on social media like twitter, and would have every interest in maintaining the status quo of using every opportunity
7:14 pm
to propagandized the notion of russia, china bad in this case, through the use of scary labels to discredit any information or analysis that risks challenging western narratives. but now the twitter is owned by musk. he's pretty much leveling the playing field. now by going on a label is free of western media that receives government funding, canada state broadcaster the canadian broadcasting corporation or cbc, clearly considers it's new label to be harmful, to, to can be a powerful tool for our journalists to communicate with canadians. but it undermines the accuracy and professionalism of the war they do to law independent to be false, or described in this way. the western press objects to these tags being applied to them because they've long excepted the negative connotation of these labels that started back when they were only applied to media late to russia, china. they didn't even say anything when the accounts of individuals, journalists with these outlets were also tagged with the same scarlet letter. it's
7:15 pm
only now that the same labels are being applied to them that the cbc says that it represents an unfair attack on the integrity of. busy individual journalists working for them, so the cdc, which by the way, last received $1240000000.00 with a b of annual funding from the canadian federal government has now paused its twitter account and pointed out little guess 30 percent of its funding all on its own thank you very much, which prompted, elan must to amend the label. canadian broadcasting corp said they're less than 70 percent government funded. so we corrected the label. by the way, if anyone at twitter wants getting deeper than learned that the canadian media is largely government funded and subsidized to an extent, far greater than meets the eye. but canadian prime minister justin trudeau hysterically played the class warfare card in defense of the public broadcaster accusing conservative party opposition leader. yes. why?
7:16 pm
yeah. law of cozying up to us billionaires. an obvious reference to must by the evelyn written the letter to twitter, drawing attention to the fact that the c, b, c, which canadian conservatives have lot of use of counseling to the left leaning establishment agenda shouldn't be left out of the recent labeling spree, which also hit other western outlets like britain's b, b c. now label is publicly funded and, and p r. so national public radio in the u. s. which has outright quit twitter in protest. but hey, must a $44000000000.00 for twitter so he can do what he wants with his own private company. right? that's the idea that was made by those who supported the western establishment narratives against the dissenters and activists of all kinds who were banned under twitters previous leadership and who now object to their reinstatement under musk. you know, if these media outlets and journalists had just stood up for press freedom and free speech, when the targets were there competition,
7:17 pm
then maybe they wouldn't now find themselves in exactly the same firing line. it's a 44th anniversary out of the founding of ron's armed forces following the islamic revolution. and tehran has held the military parade article respondent use of july . the reports from the iranian capital convoys carrying dozens of iranian made weapons was again paraded into juan and across the country. as yvonne marked the national army day, all of the 4 branches of the military took part in the massive parade with high ranking army officials and the running president abraham bracy. observing the event and dressing the ceremony, the president hailed the armies achievements. despite us sanctions saying iran does not wait for any wants permission to enhance this military. might the tiniest movement an action against the security of iran. we'll see a harsh response from iran, sal me. without a doubt,
7:18 pm
the tiniest mistake against the security of iran will lead to the destruction of high for until of if our armed forces contribute to peace in the region. the message of this parade and of the iran army day is fees and friendship for countries in the region. the parade's featured the latest military achievements and weaponry of the iranian army, including great ars tanks, armored vehicles unmanned aerial vehicles, fighter jets, missiles and air defense missile systems, where the army, both thing of having built all of the hardware domestically. some of the armies in other countries prioritize imported military equipment, but in our army, the hard ways produce domestically with our own know how and innovation. although we use experience of others, the industry is based on a domestic work. the military parade also saw the flight of the latest generations of the home grown cosser and saw it a fighter jets, a range of homegrown missile systems, including ton, osh,
7:19 pm
who are also paraded in the ceremony. the air defense system is capable of engaging long range and high altitude targets using the indigenous build. so your to missiles, a range of reconnaissance surveillance and combat drums were also showcase eyes prompting the country to stand, relate to iran's friends and foes. here from the iranian regime is not what the iranian people actually believe. this regime does not represent the iranian people . no one takes him seriously in iran, and his father stole tens of billions of dollars when he was fleeing the country. and the year son of the for russia, serious about carrying for the running people, he could return that money ordinary ryan's in fact, he's done the opposite. he's supported sanctions against the country. he supported yes. policy against the country. he has supported harming ordinary people. people died as a result of these policies that have been imposed by the united states august the d
7:20 pm
test. their families detest such a person. and so, so does the rest of iranian society. and of course, going to the apartheid regime at a time when even western countries are highly critical of netanyahu is i think, a sign of his foolishness because he couldn't have come at a worse time for him. and it shows that not only is he living on so well, not only does he wish to harm or know your audience, but he doesn't have a political wisdom. former british prime minister tony blair, or in the 1998 bombing of a rock just like repeated warning. such a move was unlawful. that's according to documents published by declassified u. k. an investigative outlet that focuses on britain's foreign policy, military and intelligence agencies. and they went up to the bombings blair was told
7:21 pm
by his advisors that using force against iraq would be illegal without a un resolution. the lawyers will be inclined to fuss constantly about how far whatever force we use is related to rocks offense, and proportionate. like you, i have doubts about how far international law can really be used in the way the lawyers want to use it. but it will be very hard to dismiss the legal arguments altogether. the declassified files suggest that blair was motivated more by maintaining relations with the us than my upholding international law and records. a phone call between blair and bill clinton, the former u. k pm expressed his willingness to participate in the military action against iraq. if the u. s pressed ahead. in a meeting with the senior advisers in 1998. the british p. m. justified is decision by saying it was the only way to make saddam hussein comply. i still find the laurel for his advice. some convincing. there must,
7:22 pm
at the very least be an argument that the un security council has agreed there is a breach. the only issue is, can we use force and why not? if it is the only way to compliance the u. s. and the u. k. launched a 4 day bombing campaign against iraq and december of 1998. after the event. us president bill quinton, q. saddam hussein, a breach and commitment to the un developing weapons of mass destruction and not withdrawing his forces from kuwait as many as 1400 iraqi soldiers were killed and strikes on around a 100 military facilities. political commentator anthony webber believes that tony blair should face legal action, says he blatantly light to the u. k. parliament and the british people. if you look at what's happened in iraq, that's why we had the situation where the u. k. parliament was offensively lied, said, i'm sure it does. i'll tell you. but i was, as always said, he's
7:23 pm
a christian and they got, she does break. the noise come on, which is without shall not bear false witness adjustment people's witness, which the courage to the u. k. paulman county public. i think it is a blank since a sample of double standards. i think all countries in the world should abide by the same standards regarding rec, plesco conducts. i'm to conduct for by political leaders. and i'd say, sir, absolutely appalling for their prime. when i say united kingdom, i actually lives and many people, including myself, were taken in by the lawyer switch for a given by the 20, by our government that, that's on usa. i didn't plans to spend more than $20000000.00 to

monitor how the money being sent to ukraine for humanitarian purposes is being used, along with providing billions of dollars worth of military financial aid, as well as advanced weaponry. washington also sends key of humanitarian assistance aimed at helping ukranian citizens to continue receiving all the basic necessities from health care to education. washington has already sent around $23000000000.00 and directed budget support to the premium government since last february, the host and the conservative daily podcast. jo. 0, one doesn't expect the commission to bring any positive changes. they have very little receipts on the $23000000000.00 that has already been spent in ukraine . and that's just the tip of the i berg of the money that was sent through other through other means military aid that they're not able to track either. so in this case, they want to spend $20000000.00 and seems like a very small number. but this is, i think,
7:25 pm
to put in place something that made window dressing to show that maybe they're looking into the corruption and the lack of transparency. that usa i d, 's had for, for decades, usa da id has never been an organization that is been held to account, regardless of where it is across the globe. i don't think this is gonna lead to anything other than, hey, maybe we'll be able to audit, you know, one percent of the things that go across based on maybe military vehicles. but as a whole, you're not going to see anything change and they certainly are going to put anything in place that would not allow them to have what is what is already been accused of. and it's happening in ukraine right now, which is people in the ukranian government are just going out and buying houses and businesses and, and, you know, putting money in their personal bank account. and that's all for now. be sure to check out our t v dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see you next time.
