A blow or has cast doubt on the way the International Chemical weapons watchdog handled last years alleged chemical attack in the syrian city of. A internal email from an unnamed employee at the o. P. C. W. Claims the organization misrepresented facts in its official report released by wiki leaks it coincides with the o. P. C. 5 Day Conference which is now underway in the hague. On the agenda of this annual meeting is just routine administrative stuff but this thing this in this whistleblower email is certainly the big elephant in that room because it was compiled by one of the co all of those over the o. P. C. W. s report on the 2018 the chemical attack in the syrian city of duma and well his words i should say sum up better than anything hes feelings when he saw what the report that he was working on turned out to be as hes accusing the o. P. C. W. Of manipulating facts after reading the modified report i was struck by how much it misrepresents the facts an unintended bias has been introduced into the report undermining its credibility crucial facts have morphed into something quite different what was originally drafted now this is not the 1st time this report is drawing criticism some have been pointing out that it took the o. P. C. W. Investigators some 10 days to get on the site of this chemical attack saying that well this is plenty of tying for people on the ground to tamper with evidence it didnt take that long for the u. S. And the u. K. And france to pin all the blame onto the Assad Government and to launch air strikes against the syrian Army Facilities and while this o. P. C. W. Report which by the way took a whole year to finish was not tasked with assigning blame one of its findings did circumstantially pointed fingers at the saga for instance that they have concluded the final version of the report concluded stated that the canisters carrying that deadly chlorine gas they fell from above and the opposition the rebels they simply had no means of doing so they have no air force and that was sort of a redemption for the action taken by the u. S. And its allies but according to the email according to this email this whistleblower the initial version of the report did not paint the. Picture at all the redacted report states that the gas was likely released from the cylinder as the original report purposely emphasised the fact that there was insufficient evidence to affirm this so now with all this criticism coming from both the outside and now the inside of the o. P. C. W. This whistle blower hes calling on the body to make public the version of the report that he saw and that he worked on im requesting that the fact finding report be released in its entirety as i fear that this redacted version no longer reflects the work of the team well if youre interested in reading this whistleblowers email in full you can go on our website coleman find all the necessary information and links that now meanwhile we have reached out to the o. P. C. W c u and its just to see if they have anything to say regarding this scandal regarding this leak so far they are to come back to us. All during the meeting on monday russia question the o. P. C. Doubly report into alleged chemical weapons that using use in saying that it distorts reality the russian delegate also called for a reform of the special mission in syria trusting its conclusions can no longer be taken at face value. The o. P. C. W. Director general reiterated the watchdogs confidence in the duma report and for sizing its objective nature while not mentioning the league email directly he did appear to allude to it in his speech. Keep these in the nature both for inquiry freeing the reader alls in a team to express subject its if you want some of these. Secrets and certain public discussion. I would like to read 3 that are used by the even partial unprofessional cruisers reached by the side finding mission with the whistleblowers juicing documentary evidence of this travesty investigation so call of their transparent enough the problem is that the head of o. P. C. W. Has said no no no i was right the 1st time i was right in overall in the majority of putting in i thought the trace amounts of call reading would warn of to pin the blame on both blah blah blah the problem is that he continues to say these things and interestingly enough it was exactly when he said no no i abide by my earlier conclusions that they have a national far less felt that now we go ahead and we say no no the head of o. P. C. W. Hides by his his claims and so all this other stuff is. You got it. Russian talking points the russians are reporting this ipso facto it must be wrong it must be designed to attack our democracy come on a 4th grader can figure that out because. The health of wiki leaks founder Julian Assange is being put at a severe risk of during his 50 week sentence in a u. K. Prison this is according to 60 doctors who say the whistleblower could die they have signed an open letter to the british home secretary outlining their concerns. Mr Saunders Rick was urgent expert medical assessment of both his physical and psychological state of health were such urgent assessments and treatment not to take place we have real concerns on the evidence currently available that mr son should die in prison the medical situation is urgent there is no time to lose. Credit. Reports from people who saw recent weeks such as other. And the former u. K. And they all agree that julians physical and mental condition. In seriously. So its medical. We extremely concerned that nothing was being. Many consider him a political prisoner. British brazen. Doctors from numerous countries such as the us australia and italy have made their assessments based on eyewitness accounts following his october Court Appearance back then it was reported that couldnt recall his date of birth and when asked whether he could understand what was happening the australian replied he could not think straight week you think senator has also complained about the conditions of his imprisonment on multiple occasions. Is currently being held in Londons Belmarsh prison where he is serving a 50 week sentence for breaching his bail conditions in 2012 separately he is also fighting a us extradition request over wiki leaks publishing classified information on american political and military dealings we heard from dr marco to say again one of those appealing it to the British Government who believes the situation is worsening rapidly. Not any official response but personally im not holding my breath. If and when it will be forthcoming in the law that is christian wage muniz been treated to date because. The state. Is innocent until proven. Guilty. To bring 1st for the shame that in Democratic State Something Like that. Well have an impact but again personally to see me stick to the. Human Rights Committee medical care will be a pale british say. So far. As attending the hearing in february you know Democratic State you would not expect that that does not appear to be. Your feet to plead to should be forced to stand trial. Amazon has launched a legal challenge against the u. S. Department of defense after it awarded a multibillion dollar contract to microsoft but the ra is about more than just money as artist Saskia Taylor comments. Amazon and White Christmas oft 2 giants that have changed the way we experience the world. Yes warm and fuzzy ads to appeal to our pocket over the Holiday Season but it turns out the real money that both ofter is the pentagons given the u. S. Military spent over 600000000000. 00 annually on surprising theres a battle for the big contracts so head to head and microsoft have been vying for the pentagon prize of 10000000000. 00 over the next 10 years the contract in question is for the judge by project and ambitious offended that would allow the pentagon to stall Sensitive Data on a single large cloud it would also allow the military to take full advantage of Artificial Intelligence tools tools which have drawn concern from ethical watch dogs for their lethal potential in guiding missiles and drones amazon thought it had its foot in the door not only is it the lead in the walls of Cloud Computing its also made 600000000. 00 from its dealings with the cia since 2013 so you can understand the shock when microsoft was crowned and amazons not happy its so unhappy in fact that its filed a lawsuit saying that it was pasta at the recommendation of a certain donald trump we believe is critical for our country that the government and its elected leaders administer procurement subjectively and in a minute is free from political influence numerous aspects of the joint enterprise defense infrastructure evaluation process contain clear deficiencies there is an unmistakable by. And is important in these matters be examined and rectified its true trump and bezos have rarely exchanged a kind word the president argues that amazon is swindling the u. S. Postal service out of money and doesnt pay enough tax hes also not a fan of the bears also and Washington Post whose Printing Press is pretty hot from all its anti trump coverage so we probably wasnt hard to guess who trump was not going to throw his support behind were getting tremendous. Really complaints from other companies and from Great Companies some of the greatest companies in the world are complaining about it having to do with amazon and the department of defense and i will be asking them to look at it very closely to see whats going on because i have had very few things where there is really such complaining i mustnt think that is evidence of one to influence something both microsoft and the pentagon deny the acquisition process was conducted in accordance with the political laws and regulations in law for his retreated fairly and evaluated consistently with the solicitation stated evaluation criteria we have confidence in the qualified staff of the department of defense and we believe the facts will show they have been a detailed. Process in determining the need to the wolf item a best made by microsoft but while these Companies Fight it out for the pentagons affections others have been more reticent last year outrage was sparked after it emerged google was cooperating with the department of defense on a project that helped the army identify drone targets over 3000 employees signed a petition calling for the trial of morality over money and ultimately resulting in the Search Engine not renewing the contract we believe that google should not be in the business of war building this technology to assist the u. S. Government in military surveillance and potentially lethal outcomes. Not acceptable so while some battle with that conscience and mothers refuse to accept lost fortunes for microsoft its been a golden with its war chest filled by a milestone contract shaz jumped 3 percent and to top it all off bill gates has recently returned to his favorite position the wilds of richest man rumor has it even helped jeff bezos has to ask. Brian becker from the antiwar answer coalition gave us his take on the dispute. Amazons lawsuit represents indicates the cutthroat competition between the mega monopoly corporations that are competing with each other to become an appendage of the pentagon Big Technology Companies Know that in order to really prosper and thrive in the American Economy you have to affix yourself to Pentagon Spending because the lions share the majority of discretionary budgeting each year in this massive federal budget actually goes for death and destruction for the u. S. Military machine so this is not simply a matter of war the Defense Department and the contracts this is it this is business in america war is very profitable and war contracting very very profitable russia could be barred from major sporting events for 4 years following a report from the global antidoping watchdog story much more after a short break this is international. You know world of big part of. Law and conspiracy its time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the back 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. Look at your dollar bill that says the Federal Reserve no no if you look that up in best a p. D. F. Itll tell you its debt debt is a no right theyre not its monetary formaldehyde and theyre trying to and theyre complaining that the corpses of grain and they just are failing to acknowledge that the Global Economy died in 2008 will stop. This is our to international now russia could be barred from all major sporting events for the next 4 years following the latest recommendations from the global anti doping watchdog wada has accused moscow of noncompliance with the agencys demands are trying to has the story. The entire Russian Sports community the athletes the fans the coaches they were hoping that at least ahead of the summer Olympic Games and top 2020. Leave behind all that russian doping scandal claims of state sponsored doping but i can tell you that in order for the russian sport to get fully back on track in order for the Washington National Antidoping Agency to regain its official status and also to get back International Recognition the authorities and this country had to made some very important requirements and perhaps the most important one was that they were supposed to hand over the database from the moscow and dont bring the board treat to the world Antidoping Agency and i can tell you that this handover did happen however eventually waters investigators found that some of the elements of that database were either raw or raised or modified and these conclusions were 1st reported in the American Media however then decided to get rid of any kind of speculation they came out with a statement and now we do understand that as committee and charge of reviewing compliance has recommended to the organizations key Decision Makers to make sure that russia is punished and that punishment could prove to be very serious we remember how in 28 thing during the winter Olympic Games in south korea russian athletes werent allowed to compete under their flag as the Russian National team well this could happen again and tokyo but further 4 year of sanctions could be even more serious thats not it so russias potentially facing a complete ban of the russian flag. A complete ban for russian officials to be present at major sporting events and also potentially banned to host any top class competitions so this last bit could really cause a real stir or even a tragedy as some would say because you can just look at the list of the major competitions that are upcoming and this country which includes some of the matches of the european football championships plus Champions League final the ice hockey World Championships the volleyball World Championships the universe and so on and you can imagine the organizational headache that may follow if these restrictions are put in place we already heard from the Russian Sports minister who said that these conclusions could have been made these findings could have been made as a result of some kind of Technical Glitch of course we are waiting for more reaction from the Russian Sports authorities but i do have to point out once again that for now this is just our accommodation the executive board will convene on december the 9th and thats when theyll make their final decision. Bloomberg news has announced it will not be doing any investigative reporting on its own or Michael Bloomberg or any other u. S. Democratic hopeful that is after the billionaire founder of the outlet officially entered the 2020 president ial race the current editor in chief has said the focus of its news will be on the day to day workings of those currently in power in washington. We will continue our tradition of not investigating mike and his family and foundation and we will extend the same policy to his rivals in the democratic primaries we cannot treat mikes democratic competitors differently from him. Bloomberg was elected new york mayor back in 2002 as a republican but now enters the race for the white house as a democrat in a statement on his Campaign Website he highlighted his main goal was to defeat donald trump who he called an existential threat to America Bloomberg news has an audience of 62000000 people across all platforms we spoke to Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and our t. V. Show host chris hedges who sees this as a dangerous fusion of media and politics. Well 1st of all the announcement by Bloomberg News that they want to investigate bloomberg or any of the other candidates running in the democratic primary is an announcement that they are going to do any journalism and this i think gets to the rock of the american political system where you have oligarchy such as bloomberg or trouble or candidates like Hillary Clinton in 2016 who are centrally funded by oligarchy dominating the Political Landscape and that kind of fusion between political power and Media Information is extremely corrosive the idea that they wont investigate bloomberg doesnt mean they wont cover bloomberg it means they will cover bloomberg uncritically and essentially they will act as a propagandist for bloomberg the the announcement that we wont investigate. Essential means we wont ask any questions but it wont stop them from presenting the narrative as disseminated by the candidate whether its democratic or republican and i its the role of journalists to expose that mendacity of those in power and everyone in power spins information to their own advantage so essentially what theyre what theyve announced is that were going to turn our media platform into a giant Advertising Agency on behalf of these candidates. Fishing for red prawns which are a delicacy in italian cuisine has become a whole lot more dangerous for fishermen in sicily its got nothing to do with the sometimes treacherous seas but rather because they face being attacked by the libyan coast guard with some even ending up in jail telling authorities have warned fishermen to steer clear of waters claimed by libya since 2005. I mean. My life has been filled with tragedies each time i go out to sea when i say goodbye to my wife she says i dont know if youre coming back families remain in fear because for us fishermen the mediterranean is in a continuous war. Although ive had some bad experiences with them on the 22nd of march 996 a libyan patrol boat seize my boat after 4 or 5 hours of shooting it all happened in International Waters after 6 months they released us from prison for good behavior. In the. Overall i was afraid it happened off the coast of tripoli while we were below deck they kept shooting we hid in the machine room in the freezer cells and they continued shooting and didnt want to stop. Right here on the e. U. Does not help us there are shootings and many other risks if they should us we might die. This though is that it this is our job i was born a fisherman weve been fishermen for 3 generations i want to dive fisherman. That doesnt from a ill be back in about 34 minutes with another full look at you news this is Art International going to have. Choates seemed wrong. But old rules just dont hold. The world to get to shape out just because to add to it and in the game trade equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. The world is driven by a dream shaped by our own person. Who dares thinks. We dare to ask. This is a story about what happens auster a stray bullet kills a young girl in the streets. What happens to her family and daughters in florida the mother daughter is buried in a cemetery in healing messes with your head what happens to the community the public was screaming for a scapegoat the Police Needed a scapegoat so why not choose a 19 year old black kid with a criminal record who better to pin this on than him and what happens in court be the. Shock shock smar society we feel. We dont know childress from. The end of this unfortunately you too will still love no children. And were going to fulfill the repeated promises of politics to the people i promise you know weve all pots. Is. Pretty. Much. If you want to. Know 5.
