And nato forces in afghanistan John Nicholson said the washington would spare no effort to defeat the insurgents and to bring peace to the region the taliban responded threatening more attacks in retaliation to what it called a policy of aggression the us has considerably stepped up its air campaign in the country over the last year twenty seventeen washington dropped more than four thousand bombs in afghanistan between august and december last year the u. S. Carried out as many airstrikes as it did in the previous two years combined security and political analyst Mushfiqur Rahim believes that even though military action is important in the fight against extremists this alone will not bring peace to afghanistan. A military offensive is always needed because you have to keep the militant groups at bay from the main cities and from from taking over the country and different provinces in different parts of the country but considering it as the Sole Response to the Current Situation or the only way to resolve the one conflict will be a wrong understanding because at the end of the day any conflict needs a political settlement and dialogue and that is where the Afghan Government has tried to complement the american strategy which is mainly focused on fighting the militants or using the military might.

Major german car makers under fire after it was revealed that they had been involved in the past and potentially hazardous experiments on humans and animals with details is peter out of. Having humans inhale toxic fumes its apparently healthy to have an Automotive Industry carried out its Health Impact research its emerged in the media that the giants of the german car industry allegedly sanctioned experiments on both humans and animals the experiments were carried out by a now defunct Research Group that was funded by volkswagen daimler a big m. W. In the experiments twenty five of volunteers inhaled nitrogen dioxide put through. University hospital the experiments were given the ok by the universitys ethics board and its understood that there was no Adverse Health effects for those who took part in the study however this hasnt stopped people being outraged and shocked that this was given the green light in the first place for us according to what is known to the public the discuss that many people are feeling is absolutely understandable these tests on monkeys or even humans can in no way be ethically justified they raise many critical questions for those who are behind these tests and those questions must urgently beyond the same organization it previously found itself in the hope water for its servants of all the animals including forcing ten monkeys to inhale the exhaust fumes of the w. P. Cell while watching cartoons the Car Manufacturers for their part of being quick to distance themselves from these experiments. We believe that the Scientific Method chosen that the time was wrong the b. M. W. Group is in no way influenced by the design or methodology of studies carried out on behalf of the e. U. G. T. The animal experiments in the study are superfluous and repulsive generating around four hundred billion euro yearly the german also industry has come in for criticism in recent years as well as lead. Over attempts to cheat the missions tests the diesel vehicles allegations of carrying out experiments on people and animals and likely to improve the streets reputation peace or all of our party. Well earlier we spoke to Animal Rights attorney Jerry Schuster he told us animals are routinely mistreated by private industry for Research Purposes we cant trust these companies to be able to give any kind of meaningful assessment of whether this was the correct option we can expect these industries to be able to give any kind of meaningful cost benefit analysis given that they shown time and time again that theyre willing to use and kill animals for frivolous reasons these Major Industries have colluded together and have successfully lobbied governments around the world including the u. S. Government to basically rarely enforce and the few laws that exist to protect animals at all and so its extremely rare that any kind of enforcement will take action even against what is in this case extreme violence against animals.

And them people have choices if you dont like them then dont buy them getting a little tired of saying you cant make this stuff up. Things that cause offense is the latest topic of arties new online project in case you missed it with polly you can follow her page on twitter. In case you missed it one of the great things about life in twenty eighteen is that youre free to be offended by anything. Its quite confusing recently people have been offended by history literature being a man being a woman meat proimmigration anti immigration the list is endless because its actually hard to tell is our guide to being offended in the modern world if im sure as you are offended twitter will always let you know what youre offended about if only one person out of one hundred is offended you need to pretend that you are offended to go actually signalling will cover you every time there is no time limit shakespeare was writing four hundred years ago im still some of the one dickens that Cambridge University had to be warned about the distressing cvs even friends is too much for some millennial zeal to choose an Italian American a guy with a transvestite dad who missed twitter and even throwing in a lesbian couple wasnt diverse enough apparently not used always about the Nineteenth Century imperialist sessile rhodes students at Oxford University wanted his small barely noticeable start to go on why because he was bad one hundred and fifty years ago who wasnt.

America safe. While the u. S. Continues to hit Russian Energy firms sanctions it turns out russian gas will soon be heating American Homes this is after a french cargo ship loaded with liquefied natural gas from siberia docked in boston and this winter has been far colder than average on the east coast of the u. S. Its led to much greater demand for heating and gas and the tank youre about to see in this video unloading in america its owned by the French Company and g. E. Which says that he bought the cargo because of the current spike in demand the ship itself made a delivery in the u. K. Before sailing on to the u. S. Its thought to be the first shipment of russian liquefied natural gas or l. N. G. To the United States the second tanker there originating from russia is expected to dock on the east coast in mid february. The fuel was produced by your model l. N. G. Of which the Russian Company novacek has a controlling interest both the currently subject to u. S. Sanctions but russian oil and gas shipments are not french and Chinese Companies hold forty nine point nine percent of shares in your model l. N. G. The technically the cargo is not subject to sanctions as long as it is bought and delivered by a third party thats not russia William Allen some former british diplomat and author used the word hypocrisy to describe the situation. The more effective these sanctions are the paradoxes the more they are likely to strengthen the russian economy which has to become more independent and selfsufficient than it is even more so the other effect that is likely to have is that its helping the russians and the chinese to move away from the dollar so in that sense the us is slightly suicidal and thus it is important to get round the sanctions is this hypocrisy or the presentation yes weve got sanctions but then a French Company a clever French Company makes a profit by buying. Gas at a certain moment and by the way one very important final point is that another excuse for these for these sanctions of course is the. Alleged meddling in the us elections ive never seen such hypocrisy from the arch medlar of the last century which is the United States which is meddled in not only meddled in foreign elections but actually replace the government cynically. The u. S. Spy plane has been intercepted by a russian jet over the black sea the Us Navy Claimed that its plane was in International Airspace over the sea moreover it claimed the interception was an unsafe maneuver however Russias Defense Ministry said the mission was conducted in accordance with international regulations.

Was a such a peace talks get underway the reconstruction of serious city of aleppo continues the mosque one of the holiest places in islam was badly affected by the war in syria the mosque was built between the eighth and thirteenth centuries but was damaged in clashes in twenty thirty the minaret was brought down by shelling of the whole complex is riddled with bullet holes on the most ancient mosques on the planet its located in aleppo the old city which is a unesco World Heritage site as much as sixty percent of it was severely damaged some thirty percent completely destroyed by the war. Israel and poland have agreed to hold talks over a controversial new law being proposed that would make it illegal to suggest that polish people pour any responsibility for nazi crimes during the holocaust. Last night i express my strong opposition to the law passed in the polish Parliament Last friday and im sure that all ministers would agree regarding the holocaust that befell our people on polish soil the law is due to go through two more stages before its finally adopted expressed our clear position that it must be changed we will not accept any attempt whatsoever to rewrite history. Israels Foreign Ministry has already some of the polish envoy to express the countrys anger at the bill the proposed law would forbid linking the polish nation to nazi crimes moreover anyone using phrases such as polish death camps could face up to three years in prison more than three million jews lived in poland prior to the Second World War most of them were killed during the conflict the concentration camp auschwitz birkenau which was built in poland during the nazi occupation has become one of the defining symbols of the holocaust it was there alone that around one million jews were killed the chief rabbi of moscow in just goldsmith told us that polish nationalists being behind pushing that proposal. In israel nobody is arguing that. The death camps were were created by the germans of run by the nazis nobody argues that what they argue about is saying that polands is saying none of the polish people had any responsibility or collaborated with the germans with the nazis during the war here the jews especially survivors have a problem because we know of many stories of survivors from the warsaw ghetto living together going into the wards and being killed by polish partisans maybe its. Part of this new nationalist ideology in poland the nationalist party. In power and i think thats part of the nationalist agenda theres a far right groups all over europe it is a problem i mean im here to oversee a conference all these things are being discussed over here.
