Christmas cheer when the. New netflix comedy movie roles christians in brazil the over the depiction of the gay jesus we get reaction. Out of a really sacred holiday for many catholics and many christians around the world if you dont like something. There is 10 am on tuesday here in moscow tuesday the 24th of December Christmas eve if youre marking the holidays in your part of the world with the news this hour 1st u. N. Officials have denounced saudi arabias punishments of those involved in the murder of a journalist Jamal Khashoggi calling it a mockery of justice 5 people have been sentenced to death and 3 others to jail time when you were appointed rights investigator believes the people actually behind the journalists cruel murder have been left untouched but a spokesperson for the u. N. Secretary general also stressed the importance of a further probe. The secretary general continues to stress the need for an independent and impartial investigation into the murder to ensure full examination of any can accountability for Human Rights Violations committed in the case Jamal Khashoggi was last seen entering the Saudi Arabian consulate in istanbul in turkey in october 28th thing where he was then murdered the u. N. Report suggests his death was a state planned execution while riyadh insists that it was the result of a rogue operation. Open looks at how the death of the journalist who lived and worked in the United States affected washingtons relations with its top arms customer. You assassination of Jamal Khashoggi shocked the world and drew massive condemnation a saudi court recently sentenced 5 people to death and 3 more to jail over that killing however if you thought that this ruling would draw a line under the case think again this is what the Washington Post workers showed you work had to say the complete lack of transparency on the saudi governments refusal to cooperate with the independent investigate says suggests that this was merely a sham trying to now immediately after the killing last october many pointed a finger directly at the saudi monarchy among them are u. S. Senators austria the netherlands denmark and finland immediately banned the sales of weapons to the saudi monarchy however donald trump immediately ruled out any such ban in the United States and he made no secret about his reasons but as to whether or not we should stop 110000000000. 00 from being spent in this country knowing they have 4 or 5 alternatives 2 very good alternatives that would not be acceptable to break for the past 2 years democrats and republicans have called for the u. S. Flow of arms to saudi arabia to stop those same arms have been used to lay waste to yemen sense 2015. But now it seems the battle to stop those arms exports is over on friday donald trump was presented with a congressional defense spending bill by the us congress and that bill contained no anti saudi measures some democrats are furious votes this would be a pool tonight that instead of seizing the opportunity and illegal u. S. Participation in the horrific saudi led bombings of Yemen Congress will continue to fund trumps unconstitutional will the blame game is now in full swing with congressman denying that they capitulated by letting the bill pass i wasnt cavan i was fighting to the last conceivable minute the u. S. Can talk all it wants about human rights and condemn the pointless slaughter of civilians abroad however when it comes to the u. S. Relationship with saudi arabia the deep financial and military interests are just too important to sidestep and its almost musing that the saudi regime thinks that it would be a good Public Relations move to send inspired low level participants to death in a secretive process that just continues to make them look like a very backwards state where justice is not served in the house and senate have now repeatedly voted in multiple votes on amendments to end in bipartisan fashion to end the u. S. Involvement in this horrific horrific war in yemen democrats could have a very. He easily negotiated harder and said if this provision was not in that they would have voted it down and they chose not to do that i think trumps covering for the saudi regime is starting to look very peculiar i think even to you number of his supporters some of his more very far right wing republican supporters in congress have have arm together with progressive democrats on this issue. From festive markets with regards to claims of sanitizing santa to avoid offense it seems that the son in western countries christmas just isnt quite the same anymore his outies peter olivia. Christmas in europe what a wonderful time of the year Christmas Markets in full swing perfect for those last minute gifts the smell of sweet treats teasing you nostrils and on anything walking in a movie in the list streets perhaps not gold with a special someone to keep you from the wind to chill not a care in the world but goodwill to all thought in recent times thats also come with increased security travel warnings and with some traditions now deemed woke what could be called the whole whole whole marginalization of the Christmas Period the terrorists are very likely to try to carry out attacks in germany you should be vigilant and follow the advice of local authorities security is of course power amounts at all major of the send Christmas Markets on different terror at times the market in strasbourg last year and here in berlin and 2016 are still fresh in the memory. You can run them opus festively as you like but these balls in the bar is there to try and stop Christmas Markets becoming a target again. This also should be to a number of questions raised over the inclusive or to have some christmas traditions with one person being publicly shamed for the sake of the christmas instead of sunset. Ive just been shamed on a Facebook Group for using the name father christmas and told that santa is now seen as gender neutral its a common trope in the press to say christmas is being done away with this year it does seem quite difficult to do christmas without upsetting someone a good chunk of people polled say they boxed a gender neutral santa christianity is pretty central to the Christmas Celebration christ after all is in the name the one school in the u. K. Decided to change the words to the carol away in a manger from little lord jesus to baby boy jesus prompting a pro from parents and National Newspapers alike saying this was inclusive its gone too far in france theres a ban on the tiffany scenes under their religious imagery laws the mayor of bessie is rebels and faced backlash once the go to seasonal salutation only really in north america happy holidays is the right way to wish people well were told with Merry Christmas deemed inappropriate by some even if you avoid the causing offense minefield you can still fall down on the Environmental Impact of christmas 57 percent of those polled here in germany said they would i the myth that you solved all abundant entirely Christmas Lights over Environmental Concerns if you prefer a Real Christmas tree good luck finding one in some parts of the usa where over the last 5 years Christmas Tree shortages have been reported with changes in temperature and rainfall cited among the reasons theres even been advice published over how to correctly argue with your Climate Change denying relatives over the Christmas Period what do people in europe those think of christmas 29 teens. Do and donts. The family getting i wanted. To spirit of christmas the question is whether tradition is not the same as tradition. I think its just be ways always been and thats a big.

Population christmas means something religious. Christmas for me i think happy holidays is fine i think everybody is on hold of the. Friends relatives form of was their own and wishing you all a very happy holidays in the hope that gender neutral sun brings you a sense of security. From his largest Telecoms Company and its former c. E. O. Of being found guilty of moral housman following a series of staff suicide during the 2000 France Telecom which has since been rebranded orange has only recently been privatized being restructured at the time the process cost thousands of job cuts thousands more employees were placed in different roles which were often described as degrading as a result of the stresses caused by the overhaul 19. 00 workers took their own lives of course now ordered orange to pay a 75000 euro fine and sentenced the former chief executive as well as 2 other former executives to time in prison weve been hearing from some of the victims relatives. And. That is for you we are satisfied and happy 1st and foremost because according to the extracts from the letter that were read out to us by the court what happened has been recognized as wrong as a reprehensible error wanted to be of the. Im glad that this guilty verdict has been delivered it was a decision we expected it was very important for the victims to be heard im very grateful to my lawyers and to everyone who supported us it is highly significant that up until now a moral harassment has not been recognised as a crime and punished at the judicial level of fridays ruling was significant in that it was the 1st time a french court and found a corporation guilty of institutional harrison but a lawyer for the companys former chief executive says he intends to a pale. Said ma we are talking about interpersonal harris meant by a boss in relation to any employee i believe is completely and reasonable but has no legal basis. For. A Climate Change has been in the headlines for most of the year and it seems that christmas is not off the hook either activists are now at odds with a favorite seasonal pastime ice skating and more particularly the ice rinks which pop up at this time of year as charlotte do better get blamed. With the Festive Season in full swing what could be more typical of a Winter Wonderland than an ice skating rink across the world to thousands of temporary ones are wrecked it every year and for many skittering across the ice is a Magical Experience but it seems not everyone is in or the future of rinks could be on thin ice as the traditional ice rink has become the latest battleground for Climate Change french city wren has canceled its one citing concerns over the Carbon Footprint needed to maintain it in a few years it is not certain that there will still be snow at christmas but it is certain that there will no longer be an open air ice rink this is good news for the planets meanwhile in bordeaux rising costs financially and environmentally mean the outdoor skating rink was cancelled for a 3rd year running the outdoor skating rink is absolutely not in sheen with the times keeping an outdoor ice rink cold consumes a lot of electricity open for a little over a month the city hall skating rink cost 70000. 00 euros frances 1st indoor ice skating rink opened in paris an 8 176. 00 it was an immediate hit and the idea has remained popular ever since but now with concerns about Climate Change is it time for us to rethink some of our traditions we asked people here in paris has this popular activity weighs up against the cost to the environment since i disown them its a tradition to have an open air skating ring like this its magical it brings Christmas Spirit and theres not much snow its good to have the rain at the national depends when its cold enough and. Its possible. But when its not cold enough it doesnt have to be. You know weve seen many changes in the climate so i think its very good very good of some parts of citizen of france to do that but i agree the thais rings are not good for Global Warming but this is only for winter its not true that is bad. Not they isnt owen said that could keep everyone happy and its in the most unlikely of places mexico in a bid to keep a winter feel to the holidays an eco friendly artificial ice rink has been installed that and with options like that it seems that there is no longer a reason to skate around the issue charlotte ski. Paris americas brand new military space force has got china alarmed as salty reports among our stories still ahead this tuesday. You know world of big. And conspiracy its time. To dig deeper to hit the stories that Mainstream Media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. And shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now were watching closely watching the hawks. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy to. Let it be an arms race. Dramatic to follow only. I dont see how that strategy will be successful very time to sit down and talk. Again a new t. V. Comedies outrage christians in brazil after putting a satirical and apparently offensive twist on the story of jesus his life the netflix film depicts christ as a gay man who like to party. No one chooses him. Over 2000000 have signed an online petition calling for the show to be pulled from netflix they also want to apology from the producers over the offenses caused by the Production Company is not backing down. As the petition against his picks up steam we celebrate the success of yet another one of gods creations Christmas Special the 1st temptation of christ remains ever more powerful and we call the views of radio and t. V. Host karen took on media analyst lionel. I dont know what this brazilian comedy troupe is thinking with offending the audience that theyre going after its just wrong its displacing christmas a scary singer major religion for a back country and its just making a joke out of a really sacred holiday for many catholics and many christians around the world 1st and foremost what this is is the greatest marketing ploy to takes home some 2nd rate 2 bit comedy and now elevated internationally look if you dont like something go watch it people can talk turn off the t. V. But its another thing that the people are speaking through of this petition and they feel that its wrong and they dont want to air and on that flex and you know what let netflix polit since the beginning of time since galileo there have been people who have dared to take on certain things which proved to be most problematic and the mad here to defend the idea one that here is to defend the idea of expression and thats it and i can sit there and i can write down why this is blasphemous and its true whatever you think its terrific but we not only going to have a sharlee go again do we learn from this im all for letting people see this so long as netflix and the makers of this particular Tour De Force can look me in the on and say they will consider making a joke about muhammad or abraham or any other religion i think that really what needs to happen is we need to start to have respect for religions but the reality is that the people have spoken and they want this thing taken down the best way to kill and quell than just dilute any kind of. Negative idea that you know why its to be different to what i think that they should have had a little more tact and putting this thing out about christmas now well it should have the respect for the religion for the people that have spoken in this country and the respect for tradition you know its christmas. United states newly formed space forces causing concern in china that it sees the new military unit as a direct threat to. Move all of the relevant u. S. Actions are a serious violation of the International Consensus on the peaceful use of outer space undermined global strategic balance instability and pose a direct threat to our to space peace and security we are deeply concerned about it and resolutely opposed to it the outerspace security did the u. S. Seeks is the security for itself only a. Lot of things happening in space. Great space is the worlds newest were fighting the space tourist will help us deter aggression and control the ultimate high ground of the space forces the 1st new military service in the United States in 7 decades it will be made up of about 16000. 00 forces and civilian personnel and initial funding is expected to be around 40000000. 00 but that figure is expected to grow to several 1000000000 in the future its mission is to protect u. S. Assets such as satellites used for communication and surveillance but sara flounders from the antiwar International Action center says its more about washington weaponized space. Here is really a star wars on steroids you could say thats being proposed by. President trump in this new legislation to be part of the largest u. S. Military budget ever when you look at trump statements its not only to replace weapons in space in his to dominate space this is a direct threat and so dangerous act there is an escalation and deliberate intentional as culmination of threats against china a new enemy has created a new threat when you could compare the militarization of space to the 800. 00 u. S. Bases around the world no one Country HouseAuction Going to the Aircraft Carrier the global no other country has gone and now to the place more weapons and space funding for the space force was confirmed on friday when President Trump signed off the 738000000000. 00 annual u. S. Military budget to those watching all clottey follow the money trail. More than the next 7 countries come and that includes trying to rush of north korea all of them thats thats an insane amount of defense spending when you really think about it in the global scale. I mean why do you think weve gone so nuts in terms of just funneling money into the military without any kind of check and balance just circling back to that i think one of the other challenges with this amount of money is its basically intangible to the average american citizen on the 1. 00 hand its the end of the year its the holidays people arent paying close attention to these spending bills in the specifics that are in them but also when you put that number out there again its 738000000000. 00 the average person cant grasp just how much money that really is that is such an astronomical amount and i think if we perhaps had some some more conversations about just how much money that really is and get people to understand more than maybe they would demand more accountability of our members of congress and the department of defense in terms of how we allocate that money and how its spent. Israels ambassador to the United Nations in order to scathing attack on the International Criminal court accusing it of diplomatic tara itself of the organizations chief prosecutor announced plans to investigate alleged war crimes in the palestinian territories. I am satisfied that there is a reasonable basis to proceed with an investigation into this situation in palestine war crimes have been being committed in the west Bank IncludingEast Jerusalem and the desert strip there is the prosecutors decision has turned the International Criminal court into a Political Tool to do legitimize the state of israel this is a dark day for truth and justice bad out of my eyes and i was after 4 years of hard work and follow up and after providing all the necessary information about the crimes committed by the Occupying Forces against the Palestinian People in the occupied palestinian territories the decision was finally made today this is a greedy for us we have achieved what we wanted the i. C. C. Has the authority to hear cases relating to war crimes genocide and other crimes against humanity israeli officials insist though that it has no jurisdiction to investigate alleged crimes committed in the palestinian territories as palestine is not universally recognized as a sovereign state because top prosecutor though signaled her intent to look into alleged war crimes carried out by both hamas and the Israeli Defense forces since 2014. The director of a basic Human Rights Organization told us that all crimes committed in the territories are should be investigated they dont allow for instance for the special robot wars to get them to investigate they do to allow for the commission of you know the un commissions of inquiry is to come to investigate this is the case you know this is how the israelis dealing and treating there is to see a dozen torp only one way and the palestinians all of them to accept. That if there is crimes you know committed by palestinians let the i. C. C. Decides about that go after the palestinians at least 3 months or Something Like that but why the is that is the concern from that if they know well that palestinians committed crimes this is the i. C. C. Go after that. But i think they dont want for this mechanism and for this tour and for this sort of tea to function.
