A study challenging the claim that the Syrian Government was to blame for an alleged chemical attack in 2017 after the article attracted fierce and criticism. Youre watching Art International coming to you live from the russian capital words just turned 4 pm welcome to the Program Russia fully intends to meddle in the 2020 us president ial election that was the joking response of a lot of our putin an answer to a question about moscows plans for the upcoming race for the white house. Russia has robot. Alleged attempting to influence the 2020 lections in the United States but you can go to some country that you secretly yes we will indeed do that so we could chew you all up properly but dont tell anybody ok. The investigation into russian meddling in the 2016 election wrapped up earlier this year with the former special counsel Robert Muller finding no collusion between Donald Trumps team and russia however he stated moscow did indeed meddle in the election although provided no evidence that. Meanwhile an impeachment inquiry into donald trump is in full swing in the u. S. But its actually turning out to be good news and not just for the democrats or bill all later in the program. People in the french city of iran are demanding the truth after a major fire at a nearby chemical factory they fear a cover up and dispute claims by authorities the air was safe to breathe for the difference has more. Almost a week ago the Chemical Plant just across the water that was a blaze a thick plume of black smoke billowed into the sky as firefighters battled almost 24 hours against the flames. And its not good is that im not saying that the smell isnt pleasant im just telling you what the results of the tests are namely that the air is not harmful and since then there has been growing anger over what some say is a lack of information over what was put into not fire and the impact that could have on peoples health. You can talk to any firemen but when you have any type of contact with the smoke its dangerous you can believe because of the Carbon Monoxide and in this case when the smoke went into the sky we dont know what was in it we dont know exactly what is in the year and we worry a lot that in the future it might bring cancer or something else. I have 4 kids and they were impacted by the smell and my grades i thought about having tests done before was with absolutely no information about what we should be looking for i could take blood samples but what are you going to tell them to look for i know they could be cancer thyroid problems but the problem is that we hear a lot. Nothing concrete. I think there is a risk for health and i can feel it because i have a need to throw it and im continuously coffee we worried about the how tomorrow children in the future will they have cancer or something we just dont know around rule some people are taking precautions some locals have also experienced nor vomiting whilst others have complained that the tap water is black and then there is the stench you can smell that the air is foul its a bit like rotting eggs but with a chemical tinge and despite the initial denials that there was no health risk the French Health minister has admitted that its clearly pollutant. It is a factory that produces hydrocarbons even if not in large volumes it is never good for the population to come across these kinds of products i cannot say that there is no danger the city is clearly polluted several schools were closed off to the fire and though some have attempted to reopen many teachers are refusing to return to work. Colleagues from schools near lubrizol who have refused to work until they receive information about what was burnt and the risk because they are just a few 100 metres away from the site they did so to protect their health and that of the children who are under their responsibility and thats why there has been a demand that the original school 30 acknowledged their right not to have children attend school under this condition. While Health Concerns are immediate whats perhaps most telling about the danger people here are facing is the fact that food sales 100 districts around ruin have been banned any produce that may have been exposed to contamination has to be destroyed that even includes milk. Hybrid cans and worked closely with milk produces dioxins are measured in memory grams and there are a problem for us because they become highly concentrated in milk and the toxic so they render it unfit for consumption it is vital for us to know as soon as possible whether there are any dioxins in those burning materials whats going on he would tell us what to do with our produce so much on the fly advise even reached as far as belgium and the netherlands raising concerns that the impact could be even the why are you to reaching the flags have also been raised for the health of the police and the firefighters who are on do you see during the fire protests like this have now formed to pressure the authorities to outline any risks they make face they demanding answers but are afraid that even if they recede. The danger is as a result of that place may not have made for months or even years from now shown on t. V. Ski altie well. A young africanamerican girl who claims she was attacked by white schoolmates has issued an apology for making the story up her retractions raise questions about a trend in hopes reports come up and has the details as a crime so verandas that everyone was talking about it a young africanamerican woman held down as 3 white guys cut her dreadlocks and insulted her where were ministry where were any party to protect her. From this heinous crime the tears in the eyes of the grandparents came from righteous outrage now questioning the claims of a crying girl is not a good look for anyone especially the media which most americans already d hold distain for but maybe they should have well it turns out the incident never happens her grandparents have written an apology to those young boys and their parents we sincerely apologize for the pain and exhausted see these allegations have cools down to the administrators and families of manual Christian School we have sorry for the damage this incident has done to trust within the School Family and the un to school and it has brought the school to the Broader Community who rallied in such passionate support for adults and we apologize for betraying your trust now of course actual hate crimes do happen we can recall how recently there was a High School Wrestling referee in new jersey who forced a black athlete to cut his dreadlocks he was shamed in front of the audience outrage was everywhere but we see another disturbing trend in us society thats people faking hate crimes against themselves in order to get Media Attention and sympathy who can forget just the small let could only go off with their words. I mean who says. This maggot country. All those celebrities who rallied around Justice Watts case and filled the airwaves with their outrage and indignation well they look pretty bad now remember that crowd of High School Boys from kentucky were shown in a video wearing trump pats and confronting an elderly native American Veteran remember how it turned out that he had actually walked up to them and the boys had already been met with a tirade of anti white slurs from the nearby black hebrew israelites named the skates i want names shame them if you think this wooden box you know hard beat think again on his question have you ever seen him will push will face in this kids with the overall crime rate in the United States on the. Klein actual hate crimes are increasing and thats what makes these hoaxes so vile it feeds into the idea that actual victims of actual racist atrocities shouldnt be taken seriously fortunate seeing is just sometimes he crimes do occur and when they do occur i think did this kind of the hoax does a disservice to the victims of legitimate hate crimes when Something Like this happens you know its going to make it harder lets say for the next victim to be believed you know because there are so many instances of these types of hoaxes popping up i think that a lot of you know editors quite frankly have lost their soul you know especially now in america strong theyre always just looking for the most insatiable story the story the page going to see the start is and you know most negative picture of america unfortunately it seems like we have a lot of selfhatred in the american Mainstream Media nowadays.

Minister lavrov has said that instead of this toxic and dangerous interfering to influence strategy every International Effort should be aimed at stopping the violence and bringing peace and stability and as an example he has talked about 2 regions in syria where 2 different approaches have led to absolutely different consequences proving which one is more.

Countries have joined the Payment Scheme known as instax set up to bypass u. S. Sanctions against iran this is set up in january by france germany and the u. K. And allows firms to avoid using the Swift Payment system which is heavily reliant on the u. S. Dollar washington withdrew from iran deal earlier this year and reimpose thank sions a former foreign minister of austria told us european powers are determined to maintain their trade ties with the gulf state. The whole instrumentalists developed in order to create sort of trade between European Union Member States and iran. In order to make fuel a work which means open the market for european businesses we would face for short term perspective still some sort of limbo stalemate lots of fun certainties lots of trying limits how far to move when it comes to the European Union we have 3 major actress. Which roles are involved in to making off to to see if you aid. United kingdom france and germany ive been observing in particular the efforts of france in order to make something happen in order to move out of that stalemate in such a European Union is of course its not so much creation as we will like to have we have countries which share much more rigid point of the United States and we have countries which are much more open to more diplomatic efforts. The scientific journal has withdrawn a study on an alleged syrian chemical attack ill tell you why after the break. The world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person with those great. Thinks. We dare to ask. Make this manufacture consent to stick to the public well. When the ruling class is a project themselves. The flaming. Lips doesnt mean that one person. Making the middle of the room sick. To lose the real news. Welcome back is scientific journal that specializes in arms control has withdrawn a study casting doubt on the claim that the Syrian Government was to blame for an alleged chemical attack in 2017 the article pointed out inconsistency is in the official version of events and came under intense criticism explains. Where the sun revolves around us or us around it where the earth is flat and who is god is greater or more recently whether we should question why every chemical attack in syria would be magically gets blamed on the government the Syrian Government committed chemical weapons acts against their own people it is highly likely that the regime was responsible for a siren attack on construct a sand rita rita the violation of the cease fire and the violence through treated by heeds armed forces on civilians now usually science is the answer it is resolved some of our biggest arguments but this question seems to have a strumpet science and Global Security respected journal based out of Princeton University decided not to publish a study that questioned the official version of events that as ads government was behind the hunch a hoon attack in 2017 it all went Something Like this a former pentagon employee mit professor ted postol together with respected scientists conducted a study u. S. President ial candidate gathered mentions it on her Campaign Web Site 13th september belling cat noted anti asaad website blasts the study science and global says it will publish it anyway and will judge it or narrow it soon after the journal now says its canceling the publication is why officially. These questions included concerns about the technical merits of the analysis in this article as well as the value of publishing the article given the sensitive in contested issue of the use of chemical weapons in syria yet it is take these masses very seriously this review identified a number of issues with the peer review and revision process strange isnt it that no questions about the veracity of the study were asked when it was submitted or when it was given the green light for publishing concerns only appeared when belling cat and its followers attacked the study and the people behind it weve asked the journal for comment but no clear answer yet then again as statement may have said it all sensitive and contested issue that caused your mind back to 2017 within 2 days of the alleged chemical attack america declared it knew everything there was to know on tuesday syrian dictator bashar. Launched a horrible chemical weapons attack on innocent civilians even beautiful babies were cruelly murdered in this very barbaric. Attack and so trump ordered a barrel of cruise missiles to be launched that syria now any doubt about as adds to mattick guilt would make the missile strike a war crime or an International War crime which could be why the scientists behind the study of facing such intense pressure abuse even and surprisingly were the loudest voices of condemnation is coming from Elliot Higgins founder of belling cat and opponent of everything as sad is website which he likes to call an investigative outlet that has received funding from u. S. Government run operations mr higgins is a rabid supporter of the official pentagon line he is debating the issue with dr post or well the opi float your dog doesnt agree with you well that are they lying before. To address the technical point in my instead of citing nonsense because i showed that none of the forensic evidence fits the findings you need to show that what im saying is technically inaccurate i took your research in hex i mean i gave it was someone he said 40 years of experience as a chemistry expert im not interested in other people you claim are experts i want to know why this is not its not in place the full debate is up on dr postals Youtube Channel but his study will be appearing on science and Global Security anytime soon it seems twisted criticism has won the day to day where science is told to shut up because its inconvenient its former us secretary of defense famously explained there are some things you just dont know you dont know. There are reports that there is no evidence of a direct link between baghdad and some of these terrorist organizations but there are known knowns serious things we know we know and we also know there are unknown unknown that is to say we know there are some things we do not know but there are also unknown unknown the ones we dont know we dont know excuse me but is this in the no no. Im not several unknowns and im just what im noticing and im not going to say which it is the search you know we might hear if you ever hear the irony is sometimes those unknown noons preferable its better for america in this case for bending cats if no one knows what happened and they what investigative journalist rick starling says that the withdrawal of the article has nothing to do with science and everything to do with politics. The article was authored by 7 scientists who are experts in the field they ruled out the fact that. That it was definitely something that could only have been caused by a bomb drop from the from the air it was respected to analyzing the hole in the ground and modeling whether it 122 millimeter. Projectile missile could have caused that and they determined that it could have caused the criticisms mostly have come from nonscientific people whats sad is that a journal that supposed to be dedicated to scientific inquiry and that is supposed to be dedicated to disarmament and arms control is apparently being bullied or allowing itself to be bullied into political censorship and bias. As an impeachment inquiry into donald trump gathers traction a contender for his job in the 2020 us president ial race has called out her opponents on some of their tactics candidates for post to sue a fundraising off impeachment undermining credibility of the inquiry in the eyes of the American People the divine already frank should country please stop we need responsible patriotically to put the interests of our country before that.

S. Support for kiev we spoke with wes benedict the executive director of the libertarian National Committee he says both parties only care about scoring points democrats are so now fund raising even trying to raise money off the impeachment. Scandal and also of course republicans are doing it as well and i think it does undermine the investigation but to be honest i dont think anybody cares about doing a credible investigation during this impeachment process well mostly republicans and democrats just want to score points against each other and try and raise money for their campaigns and try and get themselves elected i dont think democrats really care if the impeachment succeeds but then they have something they can talk about on their campaigns and say how bad trump is and say donate for us for president and donate for democrats for u.
