Its a cynical move from a cynical Prime Minister. And a prisoner swap between russia and ukraine hailed by the countrys leaders as a vital step in restoring relations. Good morning as ever busy old newsweek life mark sees a world the center of moscows kevin i weigh in with our weekly roundup of the big headlines in the last 7 days thanks for your company that so 1st of all in the week we brought to you this one millions of weapons made in serbia reportedly fall into the hands of Islamic State fighters in yemen and syria after they were purchased by the United States and its allies its according to documents seen by a bulgarian investigative journalist. This is not a more serious. Blow to the command of our i am here on earth and not serbia. And the us that i am tracking oh go away that war and now there is progress i was able to be by one particular lot left in the hand that is the theory in their propaganda video even. So more of the story here in detail washington allegedly purchased weapons from 2 serbian state owned Arms Companies apparently for the police in afghanistan but those same moms were then seen Islamic State propaganda video showing militants in yemen numbers on or more to show they refer to a lot of foreign also you know production 2080 the league shows that the item in question was part of a deal between the serbian state arms manufacturers crew sick and the pentagon contract more these photos show some of the said we have made weapons and ammunitions produced by the same companies this time in syria the 2nd part of a report we brought you in the week claims the weapons procured by washington have also been ending up in the hands of rebels and terrorists there too so as the accusations mo to dotties done of took a closer look at the evidence. From the start of the war in syria antigovernment factions have been enjoying well a gun before all inclusive some pieces fell into their hands as spoils of war where the others came from nobody knew it seemed until now because apart from me de blowing hatred towards assad all these rebels eisel and selfgoverning jihadists they could have another thing in common a big wealthy arms dealer lurking in the shadows. Able gary an investigative journalist has claimed to have exposed and a labrat network of private American Companies which have been buying weapons from serbian manufacturers and shipping them to the middle east the journalist managed to get through a labyrinth full of fake trails and dead ends designed specifically to cover the tracks to the Networks Command center the pentagon. In one instance an American Company 04 industries used a british broker as its middleman to buy mortar shells from serbian manufacture acoustic and this email says to learn or is a direct proof of that and it was business as usual up until the moment one crew sick was about to get paid because none of the companies it dealt with wanted to wire the money instead they wanted to finish the transaction and through a nother 3rd Party British company and this raised all sorts of red flags. Bearing in mind that the payment will be affected by the company that is not the buyer according to our law and Foreign Exchange operations we will need the consent of the serbian government i. E. The ministry of finance in order to be able to apply at the ministry of finance we necessarily need a tripartite agreement verified and signed by the buyer sierra 4 industries the seller holding corp crew sick and the legal entity that will affect the payment Charles Kendall and partners limited. It was so suspicious the serbs even questioned if the final destination for the armaments would indeed be the preagreed location which was no not the middle east but harmless innocent romania. The draft in jesus is to pick it states the following place of delivery. To china and a base rumania according to the above it should be clearly mentioned that the goods will be used in romania including the purposes of use and the goods will be shipped to romania they werent used in romania it seems once the money was finally wired of washingtons memory was void clean instead the ammunition was flown to qatar and ended up in syria according to the journalist the banker gone so far there are private American Companies or your company is the military far off to you from bikini if they feel so you know are they still think. These are really really like you like. Using Different Things after the website like this that people are like you problem finding information because they are oh oh you think things like that are they like this game is using different and much like birthing their weapons via their proud. Nation would be syria or yak to americans these 2 they even visited crusade to troubleshoot any potential insurgents on behalf of the seller i also cant buy or you are and the government some of the United States the european that are in what they got on the shelf and are proud that their this is the serbia back in the or the letter box. And laying around. Organizing their. Less than a year on the same 2 men were awarded for. Arming rebels in syria. The little affair with the serbs was far from a one night stand type of deal for the u. S. They shipped tens of thousands of munitions into syria drowning the country in arms for years weve worked to stop the civil war in syria and all the leave for human suffering we wanted to reach out to syria for industries remember the American Company that initiated the deal with the serbs and imagine our surprise when we found out that the Company Barely even exists it has no listed phone number no email and just 5 yes 12345 employees not exactly a shock. As a footnote the pentagon and crews are here to give us a comment on the other cases meantime from a British Army Officer charles shu bridge told us theres no reason to doubt the authenticity of those leaked documents. Its an impressive piece of journalism by any standards i think to produce what share the traveler shes produced and apparently convincing evidence if these documents are genuine and so far at least theres been no indication whatsoever despite the opportunity to given to people so far showed them as not genuine if that genuine these documents are indeed as daily on herself suggests they are indeed explosive in a revelation its really what it shows is that long after we all know of course or many of us know about this operation timber sycamore that was launched by the us was run by many years by then a covert arming and training project for syrias rebels supposedly moderate rebels. But of course invariably many of these weapons and it up in the hands of what even the us deems terrorists in syria that was all supposedly ended in 2017 when it was finally disclosed that its actually publicly acknowledged that it existed and so now weve got evidence quite clear evidence if the documentation is true and again theres nothing to indicate that its not that actually this program in another form has continued. In a rare interview since resigning in january former u. S. Defense secretary jim artists couldnt resist touching upon the russian meddling issue were going to have to recognize they mucked around our elections were going to have to deal with the putin that is not the putin we wanted meantime the daily beast news website published an article to arguing that russian interference doesnt just mean putins russia but he goes way back in history a Senior Correspondent would guess the of winds the clock back no into the mists of time. There are a few legends as obscure and mudgee as this one seemed leaguers the freemasons u. F. O. s the loch ness monster and big foot there is russian meddling and with every retelling someone nods and the little twist i mean who is going to disprove them the russians have been attacking us for 100 years but moscow mich still doesnt get it now its the daily beast turns out russian meddling is ancient lenin who already targeted western capitalism and specifically britain for a long Term Campaign of infiltration and subversion. You scared yet well you better be lennon himself was a bit of a medlar says the daily beast though they do say a lot of things but with every telling as i said a Little Something gets added in this case another 50 years to Russian Election meddling plus the 50 years that mr secretary of state pompei you added when it was his. Of cool and the one before that and the one before that didnt stop at 2008 you can go back to the seventys i decided to investigate these claims and fortunately they wouldnt let me play spooky music didnt take long though to discover how all this meddling was literally here is russian octopus depicted in 2018 its tentacles reach far far back into the past same octopus seen in the 1950s who were incidents i think not its the same one cited again in 1970 russian octopuses do you know theres only one and wed never have known if not for British Imperial propaganda no matter how deeply buried the truth is out there and the new york city a forgotten passageways team monk covered more evidence of russian meddling that you know the russians interfered in the us civil war sent warships to support the north Abraham Lincoln so and fixedly did they meddle with the americans actually welcome those warships potentially the russians not only lost the election for Hillary Clinton but the war for the Confederate States now this is the part where the spooky music would have been really good found. Fathers were infiltrated and recruited by what would or wouldnt become the k. G. B. Benjamin franklin himself 7889 was elected to the Russian Academy of sciences for his quote scientific contributions others say he passed on early manuscripts of the u. S. Constitution as russian handlers the proof is in your wallet look at his face on the 100. 00 bill it doesnt smile and its well known that russians never smile it was difficult but we tracked it back a 1000 years we found russian meddling before russia even existed fish anyway millennium ago the ruler of kievan roost married his daughter to the french king and surprisingly the king died very soon and she ruled the fronds for decades a 1000 years of russian meddling proved beyond doubt back to you daily beast lets see what you can dig up about jesus christ and his ties to the k. G. B. Now expertness new Prime Minister is sticking with his do or die strategy to take the u. K. Or europe on thursday Bruce Johnson emphasized his reluctance to extend breaks it. Id rather be dead in a ditch. Cost a 1000000000 pounds a month in achieves absolutely nothing earth is the point of. Any i think its totally totally pointless. Anyway the bill designed to block the u. K. Crushing out of the European Union was without a till was passed by both as a comment on the house of lords last week the legislation requires the Prime Minister to ask the e. U. For another extension if the deal isnt agreed to by parliament by the 19th of october johnson also failed this week to to force a snap general election because he lacked a majority in the house m. P. s will vote once again on monday about whether or not to hold one more as johnson also expelled 21. 00 m. P. s from the conservative party after they rebelled against him and voted in favor of that legislation to block a no deal brecks it the list includes several former cabinet ministers and Winston Churchills grandsons and it was so was no less throughout the Week Parliament frequently erupted in anger over the course the brics it was taking the Prime Minister is acting like a dictator the public simply shakes its head. What is going on in this place the Prime Minister should simply follow his convictions on the resign. Theres only one chlorinated she could but i could see it besides. Its a cynical movement from a cynical Prime Minister so what lies ahead then for breaks that u. K. Politics next lets try and take a look Boris Johnson might get that snap election but hes also on the pressure to quit as Prime Minister other options to get a deal done with the e. U. Before the deadline of the 31st of october or delay it once again the january if europe says so next year Luis Steadman price breaks it party m. E. P. For scotland shared his thoughts on whats happening now. We find ourselves in a situation where parliament is no longer serving the people of the United Kingdom parliament is serving parliament think its about time they started to be honest its not about stopping and our job right so its about stopping any talk of praxair so these people are hell bent on for strikes in this process for as long as possible until bracks if a take is so strong that we kind of just give up on this but you know in the in the United Kingdom 17400000 people 5 voted for this this time too and thats democracy that needs to happen and that of course Jeremy Corbin is very reluctant now after several years of calling for. An election now he doesnt want one but but thats possibly because we can see from the polls that they wouldnt fare very well in a general election i would like to see course be able to take control of this process and move forward with this but my fear is that the parliament will continue to work against him they will hand over control to your 17 past the hour on the bus coming up this weekend the more the big stories we brought you this talks paid off yesterday as russia and ukraine traded prisoners is big news making a vital step in maybe restoring relations between the 2 countries this is one of the stories were tracking for you again when we come back. The barbarians the vandals on wall street are now actively plundering your bank account with a negative interest in astronomy comic policy there and theres no economics behind it that would cue to any school of economics that has ever existed as dr Michael Hudson said since the bronze age its just out right burial. Weekends going good thanks for choosing to watch us today the highly anticipated prisoner swap between russia and ukraine took place on saturday each side returned 35 people and the 2 countries leaders then spoke by phone partly saying the move will help to normalize relations and solve the civil conflict in east ukraine among the newly freed prisoners that touched down in moscow was the russian journalist kind of a chin ski hed been jailed since 2018 on Treason Charges and is accused of backing the breakaway selfproclaimed republics in the east of ukraine which in ski firmly denies those charges insisting he was targeted for simply doing his job as a journalist meet up on the side of this president selenski welcome to 35 returning ukrainian prisoners as their plane landed in kiev some of their relatives roles there to meet them an emotional see the trade involved 24 ukrainian sailors seized for violating the maritime border with russia and also ukrainian film the right to self 2 convicted of plotting terrorist acts in crimea this is changes rekindled hope as mentioned then that a solution can be found to settle the long running ukrainian crisis we see the agreed mutual release of people detained in russia and ukraine as a positive signal we should see another important step to breaking the deadlock in the current russian ukrainian relations russia and ukraine just want large numbers of prisoners very good news perhaps the 1st giant step to peace congratulations to both countries are ukrainian president fold him or zelinsky and russian president flood. Put in have done everything we have promised and did not change our agreements this is. Pretty. Easy. This is the 1st time for about 5 more than 5 years close on 6 years that russian ukrainian face the region anything that could be seen as a positive i mean the decision on has been made at the highest level between the 2. Of the new president there in ukraine and like the new president in russia so it seems that the 2 president s are decided upon its a very high profile prisoner swap is a new well received by france and germany in particular who were you know a man you were my corn and angloamerican talking about trying to get the peace talks restarted this month i mean they basically they fell apart in the poroshenko years and poroshenko simply didnt want to couldnt or didnt have the mandation internally in ukraine it wasnt Strong Enough but he definitely was unable to move the peace talks along so anybody that wants to see peace between in Eastern Ukraine and normalization of relations between russia and ukraine after this you know 5 and a half years of bio and i still a city and its just long interregnum period where theres been no progress whatsoever will be like should of course. This story was there too in the wake region of belgium passed legislation that bans traditional ways of slaughtering animals for the muslim and jewish faith hello and kosher slaughter requires the animals to be alive and healthy at the time they kill by having their throats cut pretty startling isnt always use which is why the practice has been banned in several e. U. Countries the new law in belgium prompted much debate but Animal Welfare groups said the law was not about targeting religions. It is absolutely not a ban on religious slaughter not at all it is a ban on slaughter without stunning even if you follow all the rules and use a very sharp blade and you do everything according to religious tradition even then the animal will suffer i think the bounds of more to do with the 2 legged animals than with the 4 legged ones if there is one positive thing that comes out of this latest attempt to curtail religious freedom its the bringing closer together of the jewish and muslim communities everyone will just do our home or in some corner hidden from view i dont think thats what they want to achieve here in r. T. They looked at what the new law might mean for religious freedom and animal cruelty. It is the horton debate the issue to see. Whose death is quicker historically for millennia jews have been more busy merciful towards animals to eat well im sure no one really is cruel to animals on purpose by the fact remains that killing an animal when you really dont have to is always going to be cruel so no matter how youre going to kill the animal there is no nice way of taking away our life which we dont have to take away well from if youre going to specter because of it is a step in the right direction to be a bit less cruel then to be more cruel if you like but the fact remains that we dont need to be doing this all together so it is it is progress you know its about it out there animals are stunned before they die but slitting anyones throat you know it can never be done in a kind way. A standard in arabic its a law is what is lawful and clean and they have a standard for you to call it organic in our days so we need to have better standards for production of eggs out of a husbandry Animal Welfare animal slaughter we can have the unregulated use of slaughter and industries we have people who have been incarcerated for mass killing coming out and then becoming swordsman just to get their kicks out sourcing animals well i think there are issues in their way how i killed and a lot of slaughterhouse workers you know they come from poor backgrounds and they have no other choice but to do a job like this i mean even all of us children if we were asked what do we want to do as adults no one would say i want to kill an animal after animal for 8 hours every day its just not a job that anyone wants to be doing so by eating everything that is actual of fascism that is a form of fascism is not up to you to tell religious minorities and one or 2 groups around the world how to live ultimately this is a test of tolerance and well liked in telling me freedom the freedom to turn or even i probably should really just beliefs. Fine then dont eat animals but those who want to should but they should be of the highest order to be. More humane the most. Is going through and you can only Say Something is humane it would be willing to swap places with these animals but i dont think i know how interviewees or any of us in fact would like to swap places with do these poor animals whom we kill by debating one 3rd of the chickens coming to stun sort of process makes them forbid and for people that muslims and jews to eat even some practicing christians now the question is religious freedom while you are ok with religious groups having the freedom to kosher or not a bit of revelation the sort of the ongoing trade war between the United States and china many battle lines have been drawn many boundaries have been set and no formal fox news host is being accused of colluding with the enemy no less of the headline of. Which she says so the American Values was fed through made in. China. Absolutely we dont want to be into the chinese we dont want to be their servants. And again someone needs to make trying out playing fair to be ongoing discussions about russia russia russia what we really should be looking at is china the running them out of business or they can buy cheap foreign beef the American Consumer deserves better. Whether or not theyre going to put it down and went out and put their phone in it really doesnt matter its about freedom its about the bill of rights its about constitutional freedom and thats what this whole line is not that the box was about the type of discipline spread for a long time for. Show the best intentions there were 26 minutes past 11 with everything this weekend thanks so much watch and have a great one for me kevin to the rest the team. Compared to centuries of chinese history 2 years is nothing unless its 2 years of donald trump with yet another round of terrorist being added to the u. S. Trade war just last week china strategy of waiting out the enemy likely to work with the current american president. She said she stressed to no longer post make sure that the british and the bill of voted out that you know that our. Salvation was to you she then tasted tasted issues and a seal which caught all she. Thought which she never happened and now look what youve seen and i must get your government man for sure i. Want to talk to you short of your remarks your bonus for should be. Good to mr hazlewood supporters are still with them to the spirit of the earth for fishing to be a valuable piece that gets a studio actually of course in the bushwackers the very vocal for sure still the same spirit. Expressed shock. If they did i wouldnt doubt it is embedded in its the bad news in yemen the United States deems to be a threat the looked at it is those who work in syria the cia and the us military were engaged in covert actions really throughout the world. Where they were assassinating populist leaders they were backing up the right way military into those funding an army just was theres no anymore because theres always a small income for a really good thats good for profit. This is. One of the most important issues if not the most important and she that humanity needs to be talking about. And we had never really wants to talk about it because everybodys scared to talk about it Everybody Knows that. You know an emotional issue in such a personal you know subject. And people are scared so people just dont talk about it and thats sad. Our Species Survival is truly dependent on us addressing this issue and if we can even talk about it if we can even have a conversation about it. Were in trouble. When i was studying biology at the university of california in san diego i had a bio chemistry professor that one day came into class and told all the students to close their books and said were not going to talk about biochemistry today were going to watch a film about population and i was probably about 20 years old and i remember just being clearly devastated by what i learned in that film and i walked across the entire campus talking to my professor about human population and i really decided on that day that i didnt want to contribute to our rapidly growing population and really every environmental issue that we
