a regular basis with people just trying money. every hour on the hour this is our 2 international execution of company this tuesday. and let's jump right in with some american politics the us democratic party has suffered an embarrassing night in iowa the results of the 1st major vote in the 2020 primary season were delayed due to a crippling technical glitch on a now not expected to be announced until tuesday evening donald trump was quick to comment on the tom oil at the iowa caucus taking to twitter to gloat about the democrats' apparent ineptitude meanwhile in the absence of any official results 2 of the party's presidential hopefuls decided to claim victory. so we don't hear results. by all indications we are going to new hampshire victoria. due to the failure of the iowa democratic party to release results tonight and in the interest of full transparency bernie sanders a senior advisor jeff weaver is releasing results from nearly 40 percent of precincts in i want results have been delayed so they'll be coming but they'll be coming later nevertheless this is this is a huge embarrassment for the democratic party this this is an awful start to the to the nomination process because iowa is statistically of paper it's insignificant i mean out of the 2000 almost 2000 delegates required to be nominated as the presidential candidate for the democratic party only has fought so you know it's a tiny amount the population is small it is very representative but. it is the 1st primary it is the 1st cry it sets the tone sets the atmosphere if you win it it gives you a huge amount of momentum going forward because it's an example it's a people see that you're winning in a jump on board and for this to happen now apparently because of a technical glitch ease awful we've found inconsistences in the reporting of free says of results in addition to the tech system has been used to tabulate results where oh so using 4 to suffer results and a paper trail to validate that all results match and ensure that we have confidence and accuracy in the numbers we report fortunately no one's come out and blame the russians yet but you know did eventually down the line will they'll be a fall guys who think you know i can just play in the russians and nobody's going to prove you disprove you but the point the point of this app at the center of this at the center of this mess the point of this app was to safeguard the primary the election to safeguard. from russian meddling from foreign interference from hackers they drew tens of millions of dollars and developing these apps and to develop the developing technology to protect themselves and what you have at the end of the day at the end of the day it all goes pear shaped the entire system is an embarrassment nothing's ready. there's also a scandal brewing on life a cause a lot of people lot of the candidates are very angry that this happened especially those that were projected to win but pete booted judge one of the one of the candidates he apparently bank funded co-founded made donations to the developers of this application is a conspiracy theories brewing among people that don't support him saying that you know how convenient he was spared the embarrassment straightaway of coming in 3rd or 4th in this poll have because because obviously that would be awful for any candidate nevertheless this is this is an egg and that this is this is all for the entire democratic party this is. the worst part about it is that all the supporters of all the various candidates and now angry not only of the democrats but at each other they're blaming you know candidates they're saying if you would have come in 3rd you would have come in 4th others are claiming victory with nothing to do with nothing to back it up. very ironic because this is exactly the sort of behavior that the cues to russia of committing that breaking news russian hackers try to hack wisconsin's alexion system russia's hacked into a lot of things russian hackers the kremlin clan it certainly looks like they're in it again and with an eye towards openness president it's ironic isn't it that democrat paranoia about russia what caused them to develop these apps to safeguard themselves with technological file walls or what have you eventually that and there are. incompetence was the downfall because russia now because of never managed to stop an election to delay the results of a primary but an election in the united states. let's head to france now where a former spokesperson for a syrian armed group has been arrested on charges of war crimes and torture the charges lived in hungry for several months before being granted a student scholarship in ma say the parties where he tipped off after a human rights group pointed out his real identity shouted deepens canal looks up the loophole that allowed him into the e.u. in the 1st place torture kidnapping war crimes these are just some of the charges brought against a syrian who was in france on a student visa he went by the name of mushed enough in france back in syria he was a wish no ordinary student he is said to have once been jayashri islamic press secretary previously nor did his freedom fighters the hardline islamist group in fact curried out a reign of terror in the eastern suburbs of damascus. in his linked in profile he describes himself as being specialized in security and terrorism affairs with a focus on syria he boasts of an impressive academic background with bachelor's degrees but not one universities including in hungary and when it comes to experience he mentions being the c.e.o. of the syrian news monitoring network may trace of the allegations of torture or forced in this mint. of children raising his history seems upped given that generation ceased to exist back in 2018. as the battle for east england to played out the french government said it was concerned about a grave violation of human rights and it called for a cease fire now while it acknowledge the presence of just harvests it also accused president assad of using the ongoing conflict as a fig leaf to wipe out any opposition. the syrian regime and its allies are brandishing the fight against jihad his fighters the need for which no one is disputing i just if occasion of an offensive game that's entirely different goals it's real intentions are indeed to annihilate any and all opposition and break the morale of civilians by indiscriminately massacring them following that offensive in the east by the syrian army gerrish was talked pulled last year a complaint was filed to the courts in france and. the senior members and no one wanted more criminals the complaint filed in june 29th teen was built and over 3 years of documentation of the crimes perpetrated by jaish al islam summary executions kidnappings and the systematic use of torture the group targeted people suspected of complicity with the regime but also ordinary civilians accused of not applying the sure it imposed by the group rigorously enough. the international federation for human rights says the arrest of merged enough may in ma say paves the way for the 1st investigation of the rebel groups crimes others may be hoping that arrests such as this will help shed more light for crimes committed by opposition forces during the syrian conflict giving a fuller picture of what really happened on the ground. ati paris while political analyst mccovey believes that unless the government handles this properly there will be fair and i mean. once you enter the european union you can go more or less where you want there are no border controls how we entered hungary would be an interesting question to know that what is. prosperous in this in this situation is that he entered legally he wasn't even hiding he was living in the y. which is a neighborhood center smack in the center of more state you could continue studying in france with no problem whatsoever that means the police cannot do their job properly today in western europe they don't even know who's in the country we've gotten so low as to say that we don't even we don't even know if you've got the means to stop terrorists we don't even know if terrorists are in the country we know there are some but we don't know how many and it's you it's already difficult capturing those who are not even in hiding so i think definitely this is going to hurt a bit the government because this is very bad press very bad press having a terrorist. somebody accused of terrorism and truly come from their country going legally to university this is very bad press so there might be some who's in the following days but i think unfortunately if the government doesn't handle the process of immigration illegal immigration illegal immigration and the secret service it's the government doesn't tackle these issues seriously unfortunately this these types of stories are going to continue in time. while across the channel in britain it's rolling out the green carpet as the country's energy regulator has unveiled plans to scrap gas heating output thousands of electric cars on the road or by 2050 but that all worries it will hit the maze of vulnerable in the pocket with every house in the country set to pay that little bit more as artists hard to add with passion not spain thoughts not the only concern well this is it the moment we've all been waiting for the beginning of the end of carbon emissions as the u.k. could be on the path to nets there are a monday the u.k.'s office for gas and electricity markets all of gen presented its new action which is aimed at transforming the country's infrastructure to make it more eco friendly britain has come a long way it is decarbonise faster than any other major economy but we must go further particularly on heat and transport we are taking an approach that recognizes that our role protecting consumers includes a cheering net 0. it is now vital that the energy industry rises to the challenge and demonstrates how it will work with the government and off jam to decarbonise britain's energy system at lowest cost well it's a $9.00 point plan and if you don't drive an electric car yet you may be in trouble as under the scheme 10000000 petrol diesel cars will be replaced with the greenham appeals and for the time being you better keep your winter jackets on because gas at your heating is to be ripped from every single home well the plan also wants to shift towards renewable sources of energy like solar and wind which is great news for g.b. then with all the rain so how much will this cost that well as our demographic would put it you can put a price on saving the globe can you not jim doesn't have a direct answer either recognizes the broad tradeoffs to overcome such a scale is spreading the cost of a low carbon energy system between today's and tomorrow's consumers when apparently this 9 point plan is all down to you so it could all go up in smoke when you hear how much it can set you back well the rollout alone of electrical vehicles could be $2000000000.00 pounds a year which is the equivalent to 30 pounds on every household bill. yes cham would be a place you should have spent. so much from. it is going to be good for the planet if we do have to pay a bit more money than i live would be to in a freezing cold tap system so that's my. baby milk them not to not double yeah i guess providing it's not done on a roll by sheets with paper just paying money out there a better picture that i haven't well jim could cause an uncomfortable atmosphere as it has a history of hiking prices for consumers for its own good just a few days ago the national audit office revealed that electric bills were unnecessarily high fee yiss setting the public back $100000000.00 pounds annually but if it's all spread out equally for the good of the planet then 1st fair right well the royals wouldn't get the warmest reception on this one when prince charles hopped on his private helicopter producing c o 2 emissions to get to climate change conferences in order for him to undertake as many engagements as he does across the u.k. and around the world he sometimes has to fly as he has often said assume is there is a more sustainable way of making these journeys he will be the 1st to use it to use it or a 1001 is hard to believe when buckingham palace top the list for the most environmentally damaging buildings in london or about the time when her majesty used the state's poverty fund to heat her humble abode i don't think robin hood would approve of the time being there are many proper trial turn to sound the flying around the thing is fairly big. for me to say. you can stop him to use such a thing i get that he's a boy and he needs to be. high security. yeah this makes sense but when it comes to the climate it seems like the ordinary britain should brace themselves and be ready for the additional financial sacrifice everything is on the altar of a carbon free future. iran has dampened the mood over the opening of a new swiss payment mechanism the channel set up to allow lifesaving aid to be sent to the islamic republic while eradicating any risk of falling foul of american sanctions however terrell believes america is still depriving it of essential food and medical supplies by constantly imposing penalties this channel fall short of implementing the international court of justice order which ruled that the united states does not have the right to block the entry of food and medicine into iran this is not a sign of america's good intentions it is not even a sign that the united states has taken the smallest step in the direction of fulfilling its commitments the newly set up humanitarian channel for both food and medicine has already started shipping cancer and organ transplant drugs the united states says the channel will come under strict scrutiny to ensure turan isn't misusing it although iran does produce much of its own basic medicine advanced treatment is generally imported but as the route between washington and tehran deepens vital medicine is getting harder to source for example in 2018 a loan 56000 patients died of cancer in the islamic republic and in just one year period between 2018 and 19 the cost of medical services rose by you can see an astonishing 19 percent however washington says its sanctions on hurting the industry since medicine doesn't fall under the remit. i want to talk directly to the iranian people to dispel myths about u.s. sanctions that continue to be promoted by the iranian regime myth number one the united states sanctions medical supplies going to the iranian people the truth is that the united states exempts by the medical devices for the iranian people we spoke to professor from terror on university he explained why iran is still experiencing medical shortages despite the fact of being sent from us penalties the americans are saying that they have not sanction humanitarian good citizen medicine and food but in reality because iran is not able to do financial transaction and also because of the fact that the rein in transportation is under sanction essentially it is very difficult to import and export any goods and it doesn't matter whether this is medicine or food or any other material for that matter so it has had a very real effect on iran now iran actually imports over $4000000000.00 of medicine and medical goods every year and what this happened through the so-called suicide annele is only $2500000.00 so it is essentially peanuts considering what you on and it's iran is a country of 80000000 what do you on really need is is much much bigger than what the swiss embassy carried out recently still ahead i'll tell you how the coronavirus epidemic is giving investors the jitters with oil prices plummeting and stock markets taking a hit so tight. you know world of big movies lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell. we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. seem wrong. to me. to say proud. because that's ok and it. equals betrayal. when so many worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back as the prospect of a coronavirus pandemic looms large attempts prevent the spread of the disease are beginning to hurt the global economy with millions of chinese affected in quarantine and global trade and travel slowing the price of oil tumbled below $50.00 a barrel on monday for the 1st time in over a year unease among investors also cause the shanghai stock market to fall by 8 percent before it recovered slightly the chinese central park attributed the plunge to what it described as irrational behavior the regulator also said it plans to inject over $170000000000.00 into the economy a move that would be unpowered out in scale in the past 15 years and if the bank's recent statements anything to go by more stabilizing measures are set to follow. the people's bank of china will provide liquidity to the market through a variety of monetary posed tools such as open market operations standing lending to sue its refinancing and re discounting no one lewis is a technology and business trends consultant he told us that all this market volatility is likely to be short lived. as a side i think you can still wish between the short term and what will happen in there in the long term we were docked at this kind of doomsday scenario. and what we don't recognise is that even within this crisis there will be enormous areas of growth i think the impact on the pharmaceutical industry is going to be huge now in terms of all of the russian antivirus i think those sectors of the economy that can take advantage of the shutdown like retail food for example online digital services they're going to boo as people you know lock themselves up and so it's it's not going to be a one way street it's an easy and that's why i think it's difficult to predict exactly what's going to happen but there are so you can't say with a certain amount of certainty that the short term impact will be no i'm not sure how be but they definitely will be a negative impact. in 3 months time you know this can be overcome factors can be restarted the supply chains are sent to get back to what they were know and the consumer behavior will change and we'll see a bounce back which is what happened in 2003 and the last few hours in fact a russian a force plane has arrived and we had which is that center of the epidemic to help with the evacuation of the 600 also russian citizens in the city those who wish to leave will be tested for the fire as by minute to doctors before departing several more flights reports on the way russia has in fact closed much of its full 1000 kilometer long border with china and restricted access to chinese nationals. and roughing up on us and for this hour a wave of protests is expected to shake several european ports this week over the arrival of a saudi called fassel those against the ship arriving on its claim it's being used to collect weapons to use in yemen's civil war our european correspondent peter picks up the story. the saudi arabian cargo ship the behavior jambu is on a journey that human rights activists are paying extremely close attention to the ship is currently on route from bremerhaven here in germany to tilbury docks in the u.k. however what's of more interest to the likes of amnesty international is what the ship may be carrying they say the ship has been used in the past to move u.s. weapons for use in the war in yemen there's no confirmation that the ship is carrying weapons however activists were waiting for it in the port of on tour a stopover that was ultimately counseled after leaving saudi arabia in november last year the ship arrived in houston stopover o
