Thanks for joining us this evening youre watching r. T. International. North and south korea have agreed to march together under a unified flag at the Winter Olympics thats according to a statement made by the representatives of pyongyang and so following todays talks between the two countries. North and south marched together in the Opening Ceremony under the Korean Peninsula flag from a single north south female ice hockey team. South and north korean officials met for a third time in the space of just a few days to discuss peace efforts meanwhile western allies of the nineteen fifties korean war have gathered in canada to separate talks on the Current Crisis with a seemingly different approach. The purser campaign will continue until north korea takes decisive steps to do nuclear i think. Is to send out a very clear message that we want to intensify that pressure it is not the time to pressure or to revert career the surest path to peace is to keep threatening north korea into submission after a long and challenging meeting thats the best the value of a group could come up with the purpose of our meetings today is to improve the effectiveness of the maximum Pressure Campaign and combat north koreas attempts to evade sanctions the United States looks forward to hearing from our protest votes on how we can best do that more sanctions toughest sanctions though one might wonder what there is left of north korea to sanction or why they would work now when they havent for seventy years a few of the participants also proposed ripping up all diplomatic relations with the north that were to work and diffuse things reinforcing autonomous majors when where available. Including cutting off diplomatic ties to his north korea solid meeting of north koreas former enemies literally almost all of these countries were participants off the korean war on the side of south korea states such as luxembourg colombia greece belgium difficult to imagine what relevance they have to the korean crisis these days but there you go noticeably absent with two countries that are actually relevant to the crisis apart from north korea itself the two countries that actually share a border with the north china and russia. Russia and china were not invited to this meeting they just said the meeting would take place on the sixteenth of january. You can come in the evening we will tell you what we have agreed on which this was unacceptable and what the state Department Said about russia supporting this meeting thats a complete lie we consider this meeting harmful to. The most important parties involved in the Korean PeninsulaNuclear Issue arent taking part in the meeting we dont know what the goal of this meeting is so i dont think this meeting is legal or representative from the very beginning china has been opposed to this meeting should ok so you invited a bunch of countries that have little to do with the crisis and came up with all the tried tested and failed solutions they went a step further refusing any advice russia and china have long stood by a double freeze meaning north korea stops doing this. And south korea and the United States stop sending Nuclear Bombers to harass the north and poors with the war games. No said Rex Tillerson when the north does it its a provocation when we do it its deterrents have a jew away but couldnt you wait. At long last after years north korea and south Korea Holding direct face to face negotiations the lympics around the corner and everyone with any sense once things settle down so what does the Vancouver Group do while it gathers all of north koreas former enemies and declares it intends to tighten the noose around kim jong uns neck hows that for a path to peace. We spoke to pac known wong senior lecturer in politics and International Relations at Bath University he says the improvement in ties between the two countries on the Korean Peninsula is an historical breakthrough this is a historic call breakthrough all for the entire. Peninsula and also on the North East Asia because for what happened in the past month regarding the Nuclear Crisis i think we will come from start a period i remain optimistic about it because it looks like president. In. The north korea. Able to strike a deal rhesus the. New olympic team this historical breakthrough all of a joint team between north korea. The all of. The phenomena of the Korean Peninsula you look really really unification process. The u. N. Agency for Palestinian Refugees has slammed americas decision to freeze more than half of its planned funding for the organization the agency calls it the worst Funding Crisis in its history white house spokesperson announced the decision a little earlier we committed a voluntary contribution of sixty Million Dollars for twenty eight thousand so far sixty five Million Dollars that is money that will be held for future consideration its money thats been frozen at this time its not being canceled its just being held for future consideration this is not aimed at punishing anyone. The move sparked massive protests in gaza with many venting their anger at the United States decision you can see People Holding banners and chanting slogans they were demanding further assistance for refugees but it started out of the world europe the arabs and everyone who has a connection to the palestinian course is responsible for this we are the Palestinian People who were evicted from our homes towns and c. D. s we have a right to the support of the u. N. R. W. Which provides a minimum of assistance to the Palestinian People that what is now provided is not enough for a family to leave on for a month well hes middle east correspondent paula slee it takes a closer look now at just how the decision could affect refugees. What we have heard from the United Nations relief and works agency that this american money freeze will result in a dramatic reduction on the lives of palestinians this is a humanitarian and Relief Agency that supports some five point nine million registered palestinians and their descendants who fled or were expelled from israel during the one nine hundred forty eight and nine hundred sixty seven wars they currently reside in the palestinian territories in gaza in East Jerusalem as well as in jordan syria and lebanon and this is why there is some concern being expressed that particularly in those host countries this decision by the american President Donald Trump could result in any instability now this is a huge blow to one world because the United States is the single largest donor and it follows course from the israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu to have the agency close down altogether. U. N. R. W. A is an organization that perpetuates the right to return for Palestinian Refugees narrative in order to eliminate the state of israel therefore the u. N. R. W. Must become a thing of the past now for nearly seventy years only right has been a lifeline to the palestinians who say that without a basic access to Services LikeEducation Health care sanitation would simply vanish and leave hundreds of thousands of children even more vulnerable than they are today there is also concern about his latest fear undermines the ability of the United Nations to respond in the future if and when there is a flare up of violence. Now back in june the u. S. Ambassador to the United Nations nikki haley tweeted a picture of herself posing with Palestinian Refugees at a camp in her post she explained how she monies to speak with them about their hopes and dreams and whether two weeks ago she altered her tone calling future funding of the Refugee Agency into question i think the president has basically said that he doesnt want to give any additional funding or start fining until the palestinians are agreeing to come back to the negotiation table and what we saw with the resolution was not helpful to the situation were trying to move for a Peace Process but if that doesnt happen the president is not going to continue to find that situation. In other news Russias Investigative Committee is claiming new evidence refutes allegations of state sponsored some swapping of the sort she Olympic Games dont you hawkins. Well this is the result of a low inquiry by Russias Investigative Committee going all the way back to last year with regards to that doping scandal theyve looked into some new details of course of google account the former head of moscows anti doping approach really from now whistleblower and fugitive in the United States into some of the Technical Details in his allegations namely how allegedly these samples were transported and tampered with they found out that these samples were transported to the social abode three under strict conditions of supervision and then processed during daytime periods of between thirty minutes and two hours so a very rapid turnaround that of course contradicts the counts which was quite different. People coming from the fire and here. I was in the liberal court. Claiming that this alleged operation took place in the dead of night it was of course his claims that resulted in this scandal which resulted in the banning of many russian athletes and blanket ban and subsequently on the team. Himself of course is a controversial enough figure as we said hes the former head of moscows brought tree he is wanted there in russia on Drug Trafficking charges on selling and moving dangerous and illegal substances we understand hes now under a Witness Protection Program in the United States nevertheless despite these charges it was his evidence his allegations that led to the Mclaren Report subsequently used as a basis for this banning blanket banning of russian athletes at International Olympic events just last month we learned there are you see decided to impose a ban on the blanket ban on russian athletes at the south korean winter Olympic Games making them participate hundred neutral flag not under russian flag not playing the russian from. So this result really puts into question. Any of rocher coughs allegations raises more questions that all this is but certainly a very interesting turn to the story will be very interesting to see to follow it and see where it goes after this. To this supporting the recent movement against Sexual Misconduct now taking aim at their peers Office Actors and other public figures who dare to doubt the direction in which the so called me to campaign is going face a furious backlash has the latest examples i feel like every time you turn around another me too headline has hit the press with new accusations from directors to actors to fashion photographers but it seems weve reached a turning point as renowned feminists are concerned that the campaign is becoming a witch hunt take Margaret Atwood author of a handmaids tale and acclaimed work attacking mythologising who says shes starting to doubt the movement this structure guilty because accused has applied to many more episodes in Human History than salem my fundamental position is that women are human beings the full range of sente and demonic behavior as does entails including criminal ones theyre not incapable of wrongdoing the backlash shes received online and in the media has been ruthless strange how someone so brilliant can demonstrate so little insight and self reflection i guess privilege is blinding which margaret and i would get back to reading dystopian future but im a surgeon ist world instead of you know actively creating it. I mean Seventy Eight year olds on exactly knowing that progressive takes connellys a right the first female africanamerican secretary of state also says me too maybe changing perceptions of women and not for the better i do think we have to be a little bit careful lets not turn women into snowflakes lets not infantilize women over in france one hundred influential female artists are being led by actress Catherine Deneuve and signing an open Campaign Letter against me to rape is a crime but in system comes the floor is not a crime nor is gallantry ocean organist aggression now this liberation of speech has been turned on its head but the reaction to that was furious and another was forced to issue a hasty apology a few prominent men have also voiced their reservations one of them was actor liam neeson there is a bit of a witch hunt targeting famous people. Accused of. Touching some girls in the forest something suddenly theyre being dropped from their approval right or something and surprisingly nice and comments have also been less than well received by many the problem here seems to be that theres often a if you arent with us youre against us mentality with movements such as me to those who are speaking out about their concerns are not condoning Sexual Assault nor attacking the campaign itself but more often than not their words are twisted or go unheard attwood may have said it best herself in times of extremes extremists when. Barcelona as seen thousands of Pro Independence protesters calling for the release of caps on politicians will bring you the full story after this break. What politicians do something to. Put themselves on the line. To get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president and. More somehow i want to. Let you go right to be close with what before three in the morning cant be good. Im interested always in the lawyers and my colleagues. First sit. A comeback in barcelona almost twenty thousand people stage the demonstration there demanding the release of Pro Independence politicians alterations face accusations of sedition after they took part in actions promoting catalonia split from spanx. Protesters you can see gathered outside the regions high courts theyve accused the Spanish Government of repression held a minutes silence in solidarity with those whove been arrested massive rallies have been a common sight since catalonia is a vote for independence was declared illegal by madrid. We demand freedom of prisoners and show that we wont accept repression of the Spanish Governments abuse against the democratic will its a great injustice that is the reason we are here to free them now. And its not just Pro Independence activists who are making their voices heard anti breakaway movements have been gaining popularity as well to barnea its a fictional land inside catalonia which includes the barcelona and tell it go to regions the activists who came up with it wanted to split from catalonia and join spain and this is their reasoning. Is that i mean we went from being one of the main drivers of the spanish economy to a mediocre autonomy at the exit of more than three thousand companies was followed by encouraging the civil population to disobey the Constitutional Order to get a republic that lasted eight seconds and without any international support. The pro and anti independence camps have been upping their rhetoric ahead of the first session of the new Catalan Parliament which is just wrapped up after a recent snap election in the region Pro Independence parties gained a majority in the parliament the seats of those parliamentarians who were absent due to imprisonment or exile a man with yellow ribbons which is the symbol of the Independence Movement the question of the election of the regions president remains open one of the candidates is carlos puts them on the form president deposed of the referendum who fled to belgium where he currently remains he claimed that he could run the region via skype or through a special representative. A chief donald tusk alongside his counterparts on close you have warned of the negative consequences of braggs it and expressed the hope that the u. K. Changes its mind if the u. K. Government sticks to its decision to leave regs it will become a reality was all its negative consequences in the march next year unless there is a change of heart among our british friends. Wasnt its david davis himself was it if a democracy cannot change its mind it ceases to be a democracy present to sculpt under our door remains open i hope that will be heard clearly in london we discussed the recent statements with ray finch member of the European Parliament for the u. K. Independence party he says the decision made by the british people is final but the e. U. Is trying to violate u. K. Democracy. Theyll be hit by the political establishment but theyll also be hated by the people of the u. K. Who actually took the show from seat back and said we are having no more we are leaving your opinion the fact that the Political Parties and the political establishment of taken so long to do this is not our problem its not the problem of the british people we asked to go out we want to go out and we will leave whatever mrs young cat or mr tooke say the decision of the british people is final the more they see that the European Union is trying to take away our democracy and doing things that we will patiently find repugnance such as a European Army and if we wait to have another referendum which god forbid we dont i am absolutely certain that the british people will vote even more overwhelmingly to you. And you a theory has emerged of russian meddling in u. S. Politics the kremlin supposedly is behind us whistleblower Chelsea Mannings decision to run for a seat in the senate and is again trying to subvert american democracy claim has been promoted by some in the Democratic Party including the head of its leading think tank. Senator cardin authored and released a two hundred page masterpiece on russian influence in western elections suddenly he has a primary from kremlin stooges songes weiqi leaks prime resource Chelsea Manning the kremlin place the stream left to swing elections remember that oh my god this is how to arrange to fish to washington is the president of the launches them policy think tank genuinely believes Chelsea Mannings candidacy is a criminal implant Conspiracy Theory is throwing more in mainstream d. C. Than on internet fringes now exact connoisseur a prominent member of the Hillary Clinton campaign also tweeted out purporting this Conspiracy Theory that somehow Chelsea Mannings bid for the senate was a mosque out plot now interestingly and now those proport in this Conspiracy Theory they have quite a bit of explaining to do now with those who will recall Chelsea Manning was just in prison in a u. S. Military prison for seven years now is it are they purported that somehow russia infiltrated the prison and was able to recruit Chelsea Manning at that point and then furthermore viewers will remember that barack obama pardoned Chelsea Manning as he was leaving office so then the question is was russia in on the plot to pardon Chelsea Manning did they somehow convince obama to pardon Chelsea Manning so theyre operative could then get out of prison and run for the u. S. Senate i its not exactly clear so those who are trying to get to the bottom of this vast Conspiracy Theory that they have come up with have a lot of explaining to do about the details of how exactly russia is to blame for someone running for the u. S. Senate in the United States bice chair of the Us Libertarian National Committee of inboard thinks that the establishment house reasons to truncate money out of the race. Bless russia has become an american coated capitalist which i dont think is it has theres nothing for russia to gain there are many things however for established interest to gain from keeping an antiestablishment candidate out so many people in america are so excited to see a true American Hero really stepping up and and standing up to the establishment and we know she can do it because shes already done it she has already put her own freedom and safety on the line to fight for the American People thats somebody that that even though im running against her even though i have some different policies thats someone i can respect ill be back with more news in half an hour see them. All see we have a great sea but we need to strengthen before the free float world cold and your backs have been a legend to keep it so i took it back. In ninety ninety two that must qualify for the european championships at the very last moment no one believed in the last what we won and im hoping to bring some of that winning spirit to the r. C. C. Recently ive had a lot of practice so i can guarantee you that Peter Schmeichel will be on the best form since my last will come in that throws are a group. That was an old joke it was only. Twice dr. Knows left left left more or less ok stop thats really good. Hey everybody im stephen bob.

Good heart you know when those up with all the drama happening in our country im hitting the road have some fun meet everyday americans. And cook for the star to bridge the gap this is the Great American pill which. Finally found nothing on the eminent hearing and in the morning on here and. In long time and the new name youre a. Man known around nana. And young on. Thank. You new jersey one of the names for an all is. The smoldering dog always reverdy people on the outskirts of jerusalem. But here we have a world version of you and. Your little boy is a fire over the next forty feet. Because this is the source of. This concept of burning trash and war is not new it is all this war itself the difference here that this war was lasting for a decade and included hands thousands of troops and personnel to support the invasion of iraq and the war in afghanistan. Where theyve really tragic and these huge open air heads. They burned everything creating this black hole of smoke that had been just bursting are settling over is a small word of five cities. And you had People Living in very right next to this home people working right next to it and now working with it with no protection whatsoever. Or receiving more blast to the fire and were going to have to make it a state this way is a catastrophe in the making. At the start of the war in afghanistan the military commanders on the ground realized that they had a big problem with the trash that was accumulating from the war each soldier was accumulating approximately nine pounds of trash a day on a battlefield they know what to do with it so they came up with the idea through centcom which is Central Command decided to create burn pits to burn the trash that was being accumulated. A purpose as were the military during the war collected all or waste in one Central Location and said as i bury know they decided to burn it and they burn everything that because we think i might get to the bank. And. Learn. Why we would bring live human white. Trash. Plastic medical. Supply. In. Anything that they would in use anymore they would bring. At times
