B. C. And voice of america right well they might actually be what the social media giant is calling taxpayer funded and tities its different and twitter has put together a diverse team of western media organizations to draw the line between good and bad thats right Freedom House the apparently independent and u. S. State funded n g o that helped the cia with a 980 s. Propaganda Campaign Twitter picked the right state funded organization for the job of censoring state funded organizations so why is twitter suddenly pumping media doesnt like management didnt say but the Mainstream Media was able to connect a few dots when it comes to burning issues like the protests in hong kong theres only room for one perspective. State owned public funded independent whats the difference if at the end of the day youre only getting one take on controversial events its a bad idea for twitter to put any restrictions on on any Media Companies and on any of their advertising. I support freedom of speech any restrictions that Companies Like twitter or facebook start putting on media organizations it prevents dialogue that. Happen and it leads to other other rules that could be worse for other organizations as well and its not always a very clear distinction on what is state controlled versus not state controlled and there are loopholes that will allow organizations like m. P. R. M. P. s in the United States or the b. B. C.

Washington saying sions on buying iranian oil block more than 2500000 barrels from the Global Market every day thats the estimate given by u. S. Secretary of state might pump a 0 at the white house special representative for you ron has apparently trying to downplay the sanctions impact suggesting that most of the economic woes of the Islamic Republic are with a making. Iran is in a recession. Inflation is creeping up near 50 percent. This is largely caused by irans corruption. Irans marxist economy the traps people in poverty and the government that prioritizes ideology over the welfare of its own people but it is also the case that our sanctions have driven up the cost on the regime and now in theory the sanctions dont target medicine and practice though due to a sweeping ban on Financial Transactions with iranians they cant buy medical supplies from a broad with a dramatic fall and imports they increasingly face key shortages last year the International Court of justice ordered the us to remove any impediments to the export of humanitarian goods including medicine to iran the Trump Administration though insists medicine is not affected. Myth number one the United States sanctions medical supplies going to the iranian people the truth is that the United States exempts badasses and medical devices for the iranian people the iranian people know all too well that the real issue preventing access is the regime itself doesnt crash and my husband is a cancer patient and we are worried about his medication and their costs medications used to be available before but after the sanctions they have become more expensive andrea and we are worried about the future and what will happen. My little this is the 2nd round of my chemotherapy off to sanctions before my chemotherapy used to cost 211. 00 euro but now with each round i need to pay 422 year old drugs cannot be found easily like before we have to search them in different pharmacies with every single one of them out having a specific kind of drug. Now when they impose sanctions on the banks the money cannot be transferred easily to a foreign country in order to buy medication. They. Were not allowed to bring in many devices and some of them like components its obvious that without these parts the devices simply wont work. You know for a stay of tehran professor sad Mohammad Marandi believes washington just doesnt want to shoulder the responsibility for the impact of that sanctions. While the United States and the shop is trying to be brutal he is trying to brutalize ordinary iranians and kill as many iranians as possible they want to have their cake and eat it too on the one hand they want. Say that you run we are powerful and were destroying the iranian economy and on the other hand they want to say well the iran is evil and incompetent and its their own fault but the truth of the matter is that they have cause great difficulty in iran this sanctions regime or this maximum Pressure Campaign is directly targeting ordinary iranians you cannot import medicine through the Banking System in iran you cannot import anything through the international Banking System and this of course is a violation of human rights. The u. K. s public broadcaster the b. B. C. Is making headlines of its own thats after an admitted to failings and its brags that coverage during the recent european elections despite its own strict editorial guidelines but a sausage tailor explains it took a lot for the corporation to acknowledge its error. The b. B. C. Has just admitted that one of its graphics illustrating the results of the european parliamentary election back in may this year it was misleading now the chart in question shows how well pro and anti breaks at parties did and it suggests that remain as one a little over 40 percent of the vote with bracks it is coming in just shy of 35 percent the conclusion of course being that sentiment in europe was stronger but this is where the issue is the core fails to account for one important thing while the need for the party and ukip are represented as backing bracks it the conservatives are not despite being a party that was then and still is committed to leaving the european bloc. Coconspirator has pursued the shoe for months and despite being rebuffed by the b. B. C. Yesterday finally had his complaint accepted it was up to dr threatening to take them out to ofcom the charge to use by the b. B. C. To present the Election Results attempted to do a brutally imply and to brag suit parties receive the most routes now conservative support of bracks it is by no means whole hearted but publicly its now pursuing united pro bracks it policy to reason may of course was adamant on this everyone now knows her famous mantra that means brett said this is only hard and Boris Johnson has vowed to take the u. K. Out of the e. U. By the october deal or no deal so this was a significant omission on the part of the b. B. C. Indeed if that had correctly included the conservative party the progress it is would have taken the lead in that graphic by 3 percent potentially changing the implications of that election another aspect of the story was mentioning is that the b. B. C. Actually rebuffed the complaint for almost one month while we. Your concerns given the preceding paragraph we dont believe readers would have been misled on what the graph was showing now as i said the b. B. C. Has since admitted that these graphics were a lapse in editorial standards theyve been removed on a note of correction added to the website but there is a little back story to this because this isnt the only complaint directed against the b. B. C. On this very issue actually jury the elections back in may the ball costa faced allegations of bias from viewers are nigel frosh who claimed that the party hadnt been given a fair amount of time so allegations of antibiotics that brought bias aunt knew we all know of course that bretts it has become one of the most divisive issues of british politics in modern history so its probably on surprising that people are disappointed that the b. B. C. Has failed to live up to its commitment to impartiality on the issue serum marks the 6th anniversary of a major chemical attack on a damascus suburb more on that after this short break. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy on sunday shouldnt let it be an arms race is on all sides very Dramatic Development only really im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. Welcome back to the 6 years of the day since a major chemical attack on the syrian capital suburb of eastern gooda back in 2013 the rebel stronghold in damascus was targeted with rockets containing sarin gas thats prompted International Outrage with many pointing the finger at the Syrian Government. The Syrian Government has utilized chemical weapons in its fight against rebels the syrian sarin gas attack which art ministration says the Syrian Government launched the assad regime has used chemical weapons including the nerve agent sarin syrian troops now have the deadly nerve agent sarin gas weaponized and at the ready the syrian president responded to the allegations calling them the part of the fake narrative of the west they were in a station for the prohibition of chemical weapons launched a Fact Finding Mission to investigate that instant and others and its wake your son of reports on what progress has been made. This syrian war theater has become the seeing for some of the scariest Chemical Attacks of the 21st century in many acts of this tragedy it is still not known to this very day who launched noxious project tiles that have killed hundreds if not thousands of people for years the socalled Fact Finding Mission and initiative over un backed chemical watchdog has been tasked with dotting the ice the establishment of a Fact Finding Mission was based on the General Authority of the o. P. C. W director general seek to uphold at all times the object and purpose of the chemical weapons convention. In a report on a series of chemical incidents in lebanon 2015 the mission showed a drawing of an alleged munition used in one of the attacks what they didnt mention though was that using such a device as a bomb didnt make sense it was loaded not with chlorine but rather the chemicals that needed to be mixed together to become toxic according to the u. N. To facilitate this would be a tall order the a c f c hydrochloride fluorocarbon gas canisters commonly referred to as refrigerant canisters are widely available because they used to refill refrigerators and air conditioners however they are disposable and they repurchasing all refilling would require technical modification of the valve Technical Expertise and equipment would be needed to modify the valve to refill the canisters with liquids or compressed gas the report gave you no clear indications as to how this had been a success. And any nation that looked to see it was a holes of the virus claimed to fall in yet or am or ought to. Feel it was something out of. These canisters that there was no device shown these cancers would rule out on to being. Refill are not accountable so this is a big question mark yes taken something constructive to devise which allegedly can be ineffective where the pattern continues in other reports or by the Fact Finding Mission to. A toxic attack and hunchy whom seem to reinforce Bashar Assads reputation of a tyrant gassing his own people even though damascus denied any involvement the Fact Finding Mission provided an extensive analysis of the incident but somewhat overlooked the fact that the closest the government planes got to hunchy who in their day was 5 kilometers the map indicated that the closest to harm shake that the aircraft had flown had been approximately 5 kilometers away Additional Information provided by the mechanism referred to 2 aircraft that had taken off from the shea rad air base at around the time indicated as above 10 minutes apart following the same flight path this effectively rules out the possibility of an air strike throwing a dark shadow of doubt on the version suggesting the governments involvement. Another thing left out about this incident is the fact that some of the alleged victims had been admitted to hospitals before the attack some were chipped in as patients in a hospital more than a 100 kilometers away just 30 minutes after the incident the mission didnt seem to present any facts explaining how the ambulance could have covered this distance in under 30 minutes because to do so it would have had to go at a speed of more than 200 Kilometers Per Hour to reach the facility wanted to keep problems that being in the station many of the lowest tax theres been a reliance on. N. G. O. S relied on was asian which are not independent question is raised how much International Organizations you were. Being subjected to external pressure in order to generate that you look why dont you put who goals the war in syria almost normalize the use of chemicals in warfare but it seems that the very mission there was a stablished to find out the facts as to who bears most of the blame has been just a bit selective as to which facts to look for weve asked the o. P. C. W. For comment so far no response. But the annual meeting of the g 7 group of leading Global Economy is fast approaching r. T. As host Afshin Rattansi discussed the upcoming gathering with investigative journalist john pilger you can watch the 4 programme later on r. T. International but heres a quick look. G. 7 at the end of the week russia not invited china not considered by the i. M. F. To be an advanced economy excluding 2 of the the most interesting developing developed powers in the world china and russia. I mean you know the truth is what nobody is talking about is there is a world war. Its not a shooting war but it could easily become a world war there was a war already on china there has been a war of attrition against russia for some years now breaking up the Russian Federation is an american objective. The the. Maintaining. Maintaining the supremacy of the u. S. In all areas of Human Affairs Economic Affairs Cultural Affairs is what this particularly this really regime and washington is committed to all regimes have been committed to its now retreating ahead. Because they see a challenge in china a challenge that. And undoubtably its an economic challenge but its not a military challenge. A prominent defender of media freedoms is accused of restricting them thats after the bodyguard of c. N. N. April ryan forcibly prevented another journalist from filming one of her speeches. But. It is a sad day. When. A u. S. President does not stand by the constitution the 1st amendment freedom of the press theres been efforts to silence me in the Briefing Room they have been efforts to discredit me you now have security. And you say the white house should pay for it im here because they started they started up. A Security Guard assaulted me in a hotel lobby after stealing our camera. Whatever they want i thought i was. Going. To get all cheer but that there i. Miss ryans remarks was then interrupted by a visit from the mystery man who i later learned is named joe morris and works as a Security Guard for miss ryan mr morris proceeded to unplug my camera grab the tripod it was connected to and steal the entire thing. Was. Going to face like. Ok. I. I tried to get away from the perpetrator but within seconds he began assaulting me without provocation. And continued his assault as he forced me out of the building. I. Know this is the same a pariah in this is a bit strong. Encourages violence at his rallies people get thrown out and thats just part of its like a blood sport and then he or she is having something that is much worse happen at one of our own events seems pretty you know hypocritical to say the least well they want to protect themselves 1st and foremost a cname so they dont want to have any kind of negative coverage about their journalists and their pundits on air they wont talk about a pariah and have a new body guard basically beat somebody up almost say her particular event they wont talk about that because about protecting their and their name and their image but i talk about shot all day long even if it was illegitimate excuse to throw a person now even if they were trying to fight other people will talk about their inner child to paint chump in his supporters as violent as negative is hateful and theres races but on their end of it they just perfect dangers they can do no wrong thats a global news break down for this hour and thats all for me as well today about why not Daniel Hawkins will be taking over in about 30 minutes thanks for tuning in every maybe. Going back to medieval days you had the church which is like the monetarists present day 21st century where they would discuss how many angels can dance on the head of a pin they were in power and they enclosed this little model and now weve got neo feudalism or you guys central bankers discussing how many derivatives can be stuff into a worthless pension fund and weve got folks in San Francisco in newark new jersey dive to medieval diseases. Why a paradise with some ground turned into a round the experimentation field but agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants theres no question otherwise why would that the Chemical Company workers themselves be geared up and suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments that often in day you have many of these people one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of Environmental Research going on in hawaii whether these Companies Feel they can get away with this because the people have less political power. Greeting them salutation. Mark or carol nurse shark watchers because this past sunday am august 18th at 2 30 pm. The United States officially put the final nail in the coffin that was once the i. N. F. Treaty as Burial Services for the landmark end of the cold war era deal made between the United States and the soviet union to rein in the buildup of intermediate range nucular forces were held at San Nicolas Island off the coast of california the highlight of the services on the island beach of the u.
