This is an anonymous they received a lot documents about. The queen not. Not actively received and that you have. Tracking oh well thats war or so on the contrary i will say able to identify one particular out lot of leptons in the sand the language they hear it in their stuff again the video e. M. F. Those documents prove to be genuine then weapons seen on the Islamic State video in yemen could well be sybian made after being sold to us military contractors Senior Correspondent rod the explains how the weapons could have ended up in terrorist hands. Its a remarkable trail from the arms factories of europe for the hands of isis terrorists in yemen in the span of barely a year we knew this courtesy of concerned citizens who leaked the emails the memos the contracts between the u. S. Its contractors and weapons manufacturers and the jihad ists gave it away propaganda real from isis showed in their position 82 millimeter mortar shells which the reporter was able to identify it for 18 read the numbers the site if it is Production Growth for manufactured in 2018 k. V. Stands for the arms factory the for value of a place in serbia where the arms factory is and thanks to those leaked documents it appears the us military purchased lot for from crusade Military Factory last year then it was a matter of following the paper trail how those shells were brought transported mog for the afghan army and ended up with isis in yemen report the discovered all this is certain in her findings. And where. Are the claims youve made damaging of course is true for the Us Government that based on these documents that you got hold of how hard was it to get them and how certain are you that they are genuine. I dont that i am right in the beginning. I dont know or the people. Were all sent. Where or was but i am very thankful them because. They are they. In the sitting government. And on the labor. Market a show of this there is the name of the company. There are you know government or birth of birth on behalf of the arm and there is also a shifting of that so its not all too. Hed like he back to the Us Government although there is indication that information about the us thank you know. We. Were ensured the documents speak for themselves the arms factory made the shelves alien tech systems and contractor for the pentagon purchased 10500. 00 of them for 8000000. 00 it was transported to bug area coincidentally it was isis fighters were also holding a bulgarian made sold rifles next shipment was flown via silk way west lives and as a by johnny airline licensed to transport weapons for the pentagon to us bases next thing we know within the year shells are in isis is arsenal you need question all of this is how and who handed over those arms to extremists there and minded the just isis that weve seen in possession of munitions made in but also. The way in syria various other jihad scoops remarkable coincidence for them to accidentally stumbled upon all of these weapons reportedly paid for by u. S. Taxpayers now weve sent many many requests for comment to the pentagon to its contractors involved in all of this the airlines the basis but so far nothing. From the u. K. Army officer charles j. Bridge gave us his insights on how weapons end up in the hands of terrorists. Paper such myself and not just me many people since 2011 and before when this was being muted as we can supply we were told to moderate rebels as they were caught in the libya or syria with weaponry that would help overthrow gadhafi or for example assad it was obvious to those of us whove got really any military backgrounds and told that it would be impossible to control where those weapons would end up and indeed Much Research a lot of it by academics and so on has proved this to be the case again and again are that moderate rebels socalled selling or handing over these weapons to these groups or these groups can capture them in the field if they have backless or disputes themselves of course it could have been and i dont think this is necessarily the stuff of conspiracy theories it could have been so obvious of course that this would happen that it would end the weapons would end up in the hands of these extremist groups that that was the intention right from the start these are all possibilities. In south africas biggest city johannesburg foreign owned businesses are being looted amid a wave of anti michel in crime across the country also one day become trees Police Minister describe the situation as a National Emergency welfare reports. You mean shifty in johannesburg which if you did youd have seen some of the worst violence against foreigners south africa as you can see yet ill take kids what they can a shop that was owned by non because not where are you that you didnt see any moment now that the entire building can come tumbling down because really hammering out the structure now the mood on the ground is better but if we dont feel 100 percent comfortable filming weve been told the photo is nowhere to be seen and no doubt he is trying to stay as far away from these kind of scenes as possible because one still gets missed is that b. Situation has not returned to complete calm i know its hard to believe but this was a bottle store one of the questionnaires working there was who comes from zimbabwe what actually happens make up one sign being made to have an equal globe in the great vision of the decor stuff was that it was a monday night the big gone by then the been.

Across the road here is alan who owns a Hardware Store and when did you ever think that you would see these kind of scenes happening so close to a business own for you on green fluid before the truth of them. That someone moved through the into the chemist secret company already. For most of last year wonder filled the room what do we do with which is a lot of ludo work for a Firm Believer that weve read from. Do you think showing your South African identity projects to do is going to give you this week or the why what happened are you going to go look close the emotional gun law deal little are the police and the government doing enough more given that were not doing enough or the norwegian glomming would be lonely government would go on a more global good morning once the growth of lone wolf would you leave the problem its not just foreign owned stores that were targeted here you can. See a 2nd hand car dealership that was broken into and the cars say to lice now the result has been an offer by the Nigerian Foreign Ministry for any nigerians living in this country who feel unsafe to be able to fly back home for free this is the worst spate of the violence that south africa has witnessed since 2008 police is to most adjacent some 8 people have been killed and more than 300 have been detained as we say the violence a sad reflection on what where he is and and tenable situation.

And now you have no business no move this thing you should move it is true if you compare the cost of families all the more over how this shop which has been completely boarded up was owned by nigerians and there is no way here to be seen of course they are very afraid the shop is completely solid but this shop too has been looted also owned by nigerians lock on the door completely sealed up so people hear differently afraid that the violence will continue you welded up the shops why they mean the hollywood and did they take everything weve got. And where all the nigerian owners in the foreign owners all got on the world are they thinking to be the country they wrote your book or do you talk to a great group who. Ever quest went out today for nigerians in the country who want to be free of charge im able to do so and there is at least one flight today leaving at this stage the situation is extremely tenable unstable and i continue being on the streets theres a lot of uncertainty.

I have said but if the police are not hoping i would have asked that the south African Defense force must reinforce the police but so far they are dealing with this situation in the entire province its called. President trunk council sundays secret peace talks with the taliban in the u. S. House of the group admitted carrying out 1st days explosion in the Afghan Capital in which an american soldier was killed they admitted to an attack in kabul that killed one of our great great soldiers and 11 other people if they cannot agree to a ceasefire during these very important peace talks and they probably dont have the power to negotiate a meaningful agreement anyway the u. S. On the taliban have been in negotiations for months with the militant group demanding the withdrawal of all foreign troops from afghanistan while america wants guarantees about the countrys security a draft accord was reached last week however its future is now in question the taliban didnt take well to the talks being cancelled warning of the decision will lead to even more u. S. Losses affects the countrys credibility and expose its anti peace stance despite the threats the taliban claims is committed to the path of negotiations while again demanding the withdrawal of foreign troops heres some of the reaction we got to trumps decision from people in afghanistan. That he acts out of the heart because one of their soldiers is presumably that general was killed in a Suicide Attack Abdul Haq Square he called off the peace talks while so Many Afghan Army forces and civilians are killed on a daily basis they do not think about that. Since the peace talks began with the suicide bombings and attacks have increased in our people have been killed and they had accepted peace they should have announced a cease fire and then the talks should have moved forward and i stand commentator Abdel Bari Atwan believes trance cancellation has more to it than just the peace negotiations but i cannot accept that the reason to cancel these secret summit in camp david that day the one american soldier but definitely there are other reasons but this is a mention it the counselor it means a president that i actually realize that he was asked by all of our president graham is this trip for this deal he committed himself in his Election Campaign that he will pull out all that many of the troops from afghanistan and he wanted these troops to be pulled out before that because then should elections and alibi and realize this kind of desperation from the american side from the president s side so thats why actually there are trying to improve their position and milk a lot of concessions from the American Administration as bears have been weak for the british Prime Minister suffering defeat after defeat all rags it shows how he law and thats after the break. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy for him to let it be an arms race. Spearing Dramatic Development only personally im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. What holds and. To. Put themselves on the line. To get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president and you. Want. To go right to be close thats what before 3 of the more people get. Interested always in the water out. There should. Be. Welcome back to this Prime Minister is sticking with his do or die strategy to take the u. K. Out of the European Union on thursday Boris Johnson and for size his reluctance to extend his. Of course a 1000000000 pounds a month cheese absolutely nothing. Is the point. I think its totally totally pointless and both designed to stop the u. K. Leaving the block without a deal was passed by both the house of commons and the house of lords the legislation requires the Prime Minister to ask the e. U. For another extension if a deal is not agreed but in parliament by the 19th of october mr johnson also failed this week to force a snap general election because he lacked a majority in the house and pays will vote once again on monday whether to hold a National Poll or not additionally this month the Prime Minister expelled 21. 00 m. P. s from the conservative party after they rebelled against him and voted in favor of legislation to block a no deal brags that the list includes several former cabinet members and tory grandees including Winston Churchills grown sons and their close soames throughout the Week Parliament frequently erupted in anger over the course bracks it was taking the Prime Minister is acting like a dictator the public simply shakes each page. What is going on in this place the Prime Minister should simply follow his convictions are now resigned. Theres only one car related that i can see this time. Its a city called movement from a city called Prime Minister so want lies ahead for break that and u. K. Politics well lets take a look Boris Johnson might get bank snap election but hes also already under pressure to quit as Prime Minister other options are to get a deal done with the e. U. Before the deadline on the 31st of october or delay it once again to january next year louis said when bryce briggs a party any peace in scotland shared his thoughts on whats happening. 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 in our do it is about stopping any talk of breaks so these people i hope read on frustrate in this process for as long as possible until broke that fatigue is so strong that we card of just give up on that. In the United Kingdom 72400000 people voted for this in this term to democracy it needs to happen now of course to recall been is very reluctant now after several years of calling for. An election now he doesnt want one but thats possibly because we can see from the polls that they wouldnt fare very well in a general election or would like to see force be able to take control of this process of reform with this but my fear is that the parliament will continue to work against him they will hand over control to youre.

Important humanitarian act during a phone conversation between glad to meet putting on earlier this sunday is also rekindled hope 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 which could see another important step to breaking the deadlock in the current russian ukrainian relations russia and ukraine just large numbers of prisoners very good news perhaps the 1st giant step to peace congratulations to both countries are ukrainian president vala dimmers alinsky and russian president Vladimir Putin have done everything we have promised and did not change our agreements. But this is the 1st time for about 5 more than 5 years close in 6 years that russian ukrainian base he agreed on anything that could be seen as a positive i mean obviously decision on has been made at the highest level between the 2.
