This is an anonymous in a city blog document about. The klan not serbia not actively crusade and the u. S. Soccer mom tracking all the way to war or so on those contrasts i will say able to id by one particular out a lot of left in the sand does not mean they would. Stop again the video e. M. F. If those documents prove to be genuine then weapons seen on the Islamic State for the year in yemen could well be so being made after being sold to us military contractors and Senior Correspondent more on the evidence planes how the weapons could have ended up in terrorist tons. 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 the able to identify who for 18 read the numbers the cipher it is Production Growth for manufactured in 2018 k. V. Stands for the arms factory the full value of a place in serbia where the arms factory is and thanks to those leaked documents it appears the us military purchased a 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 oh. No weapons of war are. 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 what but im very thankful them because. They are the. In the sitting government. And on the labor. Market a show of this there is the name of the company or there were you know government or birth of birth on behalf of the arm and dont think of that so its not all too. Hed like he back to the Us Government also there is indication that information about the us thank you know that 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 u. S. 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 in minded the just isis that weve seen in possession of munitions made in but also. The way in syria various other jihad a 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. Well you k. Army officer charles she gave us his insights on how weapons end up in the house of terrorists. People 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 background to talk 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 the moderate rebels socalled selling or handing over these weapons to these groups or these groups can capture them in the field if they have back and sort of 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.

President Trump Council fundraiser secret peace talks with the taliban in the us thats after the group admitted carrying out those 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 cease fire during these very important peace talks then they probably dont have the power to negotiate a meaningful agreement anyway. The u. S. And 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 we just lost week however its future is now in question as alabang didnt take well to the talks being counseled warned the decision will lead to even more u. S. Losses affect the countrys credibility and expose its anti peace stance despite the threats the taliban claims its committed to the path of the goshi ations while again demanding the withdrawal of foreign troops heres some of the reaction we got to transfer decision from people in afghanistan to the act part of the heart because one of their soldiers is presumably that general was killed in a Suicide AttackAbdul 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 they had accepted peace they should have announced a cease fire and then the talks you know moved forward journalist and commentator after one believes trance cancellation has more to it than just the peace negotiations but i cannot accept that the reason to cancel these secret summit camp david. One american soldier definitely there are other reasons but resume look i mention it. It means a president that i actually realized that he was liked by all of our present ground is this group for this deal he committed himself in his Election Campaign that he will all out all that many troops from afghanistan and you want at least troops to be pulled out before that because then its your election and realize this kind of distraction from the american side from the president s side so thats why actually. They are trying to reach their position and lame concision american administration. Britains Prime Minister is sticking with his do or die strategy to take the u. K. Out of the European Union on thursday Boris Johnson emphasized his reluctance to extend breaks it. Cost a 1000000000 pounds a month cheese absolutely nothing. Is the point of a further delay i think its totally totally pointless the bill 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 for another extension if a deal is not agreed in parliament by the 19th of october mr jones would also have failed this week to force a snap general election because he lacked a majority in the house and pieces that will vote once again on monday whether to hold a National Poll or lots 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 break says the list included several former cabinet members and tory grandees including Winston Churchills grandsons the Nicholas Soames throughout the week the pilot parliament frequent erupted in anger over the course briggs it was taking. The Prime Minister is acting like a dictator the public simply show you see. What is going on in this place the Prime Minister should simply follow his convictions on the resign where theres only one call related to the i can see the size of that its a cynical movement from a cynical Prime Minister so what lies ahead for briggs it and u. K. Politics well lets take a look sour way boston might get that snap election but hes also one that 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 Louise Stedman bryce breaks it party m. E. P. For 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 target so these people i hope 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 74000000 people voted for this lets turn to democracy it needs to happen now of course to recall when its 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 and over control to europe. The highly anticipated prisoner swap between russia and ukraine took place on saturday with each returning 35 people the 2 countries leaders spoke by phone saying the move would help to normalize relations toward solving the civil conflict in Eastern Ukraine among the newly freed prisoners the touchdown in moscow was russian journalistic you will visions it been jailed since 2018 on Treason Charges and is accused of backing the breakaway selfproclaimed the publics in the east of ukraine shinseki firmly denies all the charges insisting that he was targeted for simply doing his job as a journalist.

Its been described by the russian and french leaders as an important humanitarian act during a phone conversation between florida mayor putin and emanuel mccrum earlier this sunday it 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 face the region anything that could be seen as a positive i mean obviously decision on has been made at the highest level between the 2. The new president there in ukraine the new president in russia so it seems that the 2 president s are decided upon its a very high profile prisoner swap is really well received by france and germany in particular who were you know emanuel my corn and angloamerican have been 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 and wasnt Strong Enough but he definitely was unable to move the peace talks alarms that anybody that wants to see the peace between in Eastern Ukraine and in normalization of relations between russia and ukraine after this you know 5 and a half years of of a bio and i still if he understood this long interregnum period where theres been no progress whatsoever well below should of course.
