His birth he was in such Poor Condition that he couldnt remember. Good morning from moscow its friday february 21st money is called in by welcome to the program 1st for you this friday then the European Union is calling for an immediate end to waging conflict in the final hotbed of the war in syria as turkey steps up its operations in the province meanwhile washington is pushing for diplomatic action to be taken against syria and its backers over their military actions in the region despite admitting that it has become a haven for terrorist groups. It seems to be a magnet for terrorist groups especially because it is an ungoverned space in many ways their average of groups theyre all of them are a nuisance and menace in a threat to hundreds of thousands of civilians who are just trying to make it through the winter getting up to speed then correspondent you go down off now takes a look at how the syria conflicts are volved. Its coming to shove in syria turkey and the us russia israel and multiple militant factions all skirmishing in the country and previous motives for warring are fading into oblivion. Its time for assad to get out of the way. We have won a good study says weve beaten them and we beat them badly all that is a thing of the past now as new goals vividly take shape the latest fighting in ad lib is a mere accessory to the geo political carnage is global and regional superpowers sparring with each other for dominance ideological and moral borders are blurred with turkey a nato country teaming up with terrorists to push syrians out of their own province. The operation is imminent in particular we will not leave it to the regime which is not yet understood our countrys determination on this issue and those who are encouraging it for a few minutes and making it live a safe place for both turkey and the people of the region at all costs. Militants shamelessly boasting turkey provided a. P. C. s coming on. Marse covered by turkish artillery fire russias air force joins the Party Together with the syrians repairing the onslaught as moscow officially asks ankara to hold its fire and so it does to prevent militants from moving deeper into syria into the red s u 24 aircraft of the Russian Air Force at the request of the syrian command have carried out strikes against the van sing to or groups this allowed the syrian troops to successful the ripple all attacks but turkey is not alone in this fight while jihadi groups are doing the bloody bidding on the ground washington cheers from over the atlantic that a very good job or say shit with president her why the fact is that hes fighting on it led he doesnt want people to be killed by the thousands and hundreds of thousands the United States will continue to coordinate with turkey on diplomatic approach is to restore a cease fire to the it live deescalation zone and achieve a pullback of assad Regime Forces to the 2800 so she ceasefire lines the us has its own stake in the syria war and it hasnt signed on very particular and well predictable prizes from geo political dominance to well oil we did leave soldiers because were keeping the oil we may have to fight for the oil thats ok i like the oil and theres yet another act in this conflict israeli jets routinely hit targets on syrian soil its clear what israel wants to to weaken irans influence yet another power playing its hand and this massive and messy political gamble unfortunately for the people of syria since 2011 their country has been used as a chessboard on which the syrians appear as pawns and its somebody elses geostrategic. Board in particular the United States and its allies basically tore syria apart partly designed to topple the secular but legitimate government in syria the sovereign government the government recognized by the United Nations partly to topple that government and partly to claim different parts of syria for themselves syria has an important place in geo strategic we in geographically in this resource rich region of the middle east it also has. So yes what weve seen the tragedy of syria the tragedy of the socalled civil war is actually a proxy war by International Players using the syrian country the syrian battlefield as a proxy battlefield when i leave this week the syrian army announced that it had cleared militants out of the province of aleppo following is offense and if hes there during its operation Government Forces have repeatedly reported on finding u. S. Made weapons left behind by fleeing terrorists meanwhile the Defense Department in washington is accusing the u. S. Military of failing to keep track of weapons with hundreds of millions of dollars in syria report went as far as suggesting they were left vulnerable to loss or theft his aunties kind of open. If you were spending hundreds of millions of dollars to send weapons to a foreign country it would probably pay to keep track of them but apparently thats the last thing that was on the pentagons mind when it came to Operation Inherent result in syria. Special Operations Joint Task force Operation Inherent result person no did not account for the budget is 715800000 of count arses trained and equipped Fund Equipment for fiscal years 2017 and 28 seen hundreds of weapons were not properly stored duplicate purchases were made the amount spent went higher and higher now that might give critics of the military Industrial Complex something to complain about but thats not the crux of the problem here take a listen to this special Operations Joint Task force operation in hebron resolve on 1st that sustainment command personnel left thousands of Council Offices trained and equipped for and weapons and sensitive equipment items fordable to muscle theft without conducting consistent inventor reason ensuring proper security for c t e f s equipment 1st c. S. C. Could not determine where the items were lost or stolen which could delay the initiation of an investigation so lets be clear theyre saying theyre not 100 percent sure these weapons and that up in the hands of isis terrorists but that there is a pretty good chance they did now that should raise plenty of questions especially for those who recall that back in 2718 the socalled vetted opposition was getting stock loads of handouts in weapons from the pentagon. The original fiscal year 2017 president s budget requests for train and equip and fits in syria funds training and equipment for about 14000 part of foods troops from the vetted Syrian Opposition seems like some of these vetted opposition were not really interested in fighting the i. C. L. Terrorists they just focused on their ongoing efforts to violently overthrow the Syrian Government one of our Partner Forces there you know laterally conducted patrols outside of the agreed upon deescalation zone and engaged in activities not focused on fighting isis it seems like american weapons pretty consistently end up not in the hands of terrorist fighters but in the hands of terrorists themselves lets see whats been captured. Because. Of the. 715000000. 00 can buy are a lot of ammunition now and that much goes missing in a war torn country thats crawling with terrorists eyebrows should be raised for comparison the republic of the congo and gonna spend less than 715000000. 00 in their annual military budgets latvia spends slightly more in 27. 00 team approximately 1000000000. 00 worth of arms transfers were not properly monitored by the pentagon big mistakes were made in this arm and equip program it partly its an accounting issue because the pentagon as we know has never been successfully audited they tried to audit the pentagon once and it was an absolute failure. They have no idea where the money goes and thats one half of the problem they just dont care because its not about defense its about 1st of all the military Industrial Complex the more weapons you lose the more you can buy and its this kind of symbiosis the the war machine in washington has so that is on one hand but on the other hand i think theres an intentional lack of oversight with regard to weapons in syria weve seen so many times advanced American Military technology in the hands of isis and al qaida and their offshoots in the region theres of been a flood of weapons into the region there are no consequences to the us its only a benefit to the well politically connected military Industrial Complex in washington d. C. To manufacture and send over more weapons they dont care about the misery of the people on the ground who have to suffer u. S. Leaders frequently describe their operations in the middle east as efforts to stabilize the region but nothing brings stability like going into war torn country is crawling with terrorists bringing in hundreds of millions of dollars worth of weapons and then accidentally losing them caleb mop and r. T. New york. Media freedom groups are giving a stark warning about the health of wiki leaks founder Julian Assange as he prepares for his u. S. Extradition hearing next week ill teach been speaking to his father about his health consent. Then one of julians of the 1st appearance in judge borats is called the judge and julian his name and his birth he was in such Poor Condition that he couldnt remember this is very unusual for a judge to continue hearing the plea of a prisoner when they come from him of their birth or their. Concert consequently we believe that julian or 2 of them immediately sent for in a teacher in hospital thats what would happen in a stroke here the judge would not continue the hearing because the prisoner was not well enough. Or more than 100 doctors from around the world are still writing against the u. K. s handling of the assault cases saying that hes being subjected to psychological torture while in jail theyre also calling on the Australian Government to intervene to protect its citizens and its now the 4th open letter for medical professionals weve been hearing from the director general of Reporters Without Borders who told us that assad has been targeted because of his journalism but that distressful that no this is not just the story of one individual it is about the ability of journalists to publish information relating to state secrets mr assad has been targeted because of his contributions to terrorism in 2010 being made his work is being targeted because he revealed so much civically on u. S. Military operations in iraq and afghanistan i never saw a g. s force the son tried in the us if he is extradited or is it this will pose a major threat to all terrorism has been nothing short of a dramatic decade ford jr songs tracing back to those revelations of wrongdoing in 2010 now today on our tape we are telling his story that is here next hour. I 1st heard about wiki leaks. From the helicopter footage in iraq. I think it down to people and i mean i mean u. S. Military who have never forgiven him for it this guys a traitor and treasonous and and he has broken every law the United States illegally shoot son of a u. S. Really historic to have. Independent journalist a guy with his computer to seeing you is a lot of crimes and to a global audience. The idea of developing an anonymous digital dropbox and applying it to a Media Organization is what he makes that was the 1st. I didnt the tour anticipate that he would be for a short while world time and run one of the worlds most powerful news organizations clearing the standard for founder Julian Assange in the sun over the sun and there was a great deal of jealous in the mainstream towards him particularly why wont he be more like off that you seem. Sneering feces on the walls. System. We have Julian Assange in solitary confinement in this prison for terrorists a way to keep the house alive in person the person. I dont want to see him die any u. S. Prison. And i think thats what hes facing. A flight carrying 73 evacuees from china has caused uproar across 3 ukrainian regions travelling from the epicenter of the corona Virus Outbreak it landed in the ukrainian city of thursday but it triggered a. Violent response from locals as 9 Police Officers and one civilian were injured in protest more now from our teams done a quota. Say some new people moved into the neighborhood they came from the epicenter of the deadly coronavirus pandemic perhaps youd be worried or angry but it would be hard to match the anger brewing in ukraine to just that situation. Oh. For the past several days ukraine has seen violent clashes across the country scores of policemen have been injured by locals throwing bricks riot police have been called in to disperse angry mobs and its all because the ukrainian authorities tried to do a good deed for the International Community they accepted with open arms a number of their countrymen and foreigners trying to flee by plane assuring the public the passengers were 100 percent coronavirus clean an important detail when ukraine itself has yet to see a case of the disease a Quarantine Zone was even set up at a Health Center in poltava just to be sure but the protesters did all they could to stop that plane from landing and when that failed they started blocking roads until riot police removed them by force. The buses made it to their destination in the end but there on welcome reception wasnt exactly what kiev expected president s a landscape. Called out the protesters for showing the uglier side of their humanity its a shame the not all of us can be proud of their humane reaction the efforts to shut off highways to block hospitals not to let ukrainians back to ukraine were not demonstrating the best of our character here especially given the majority of the passengers are under 30 to most of us they are almost children children are not ukraines protesters dont seem to be up for a game of russian roulette with the coronavirus. Cities across germany have held vigils for the 9 victims of wednesday night shootings in the west of the country the suspected attacker killed his mother and then himself and is believed to have racist motives 5 of the victims were turkish nationals reporting that from germany his picture all of a. On thursday evening we saw people coming out onto the streets of berlin and elsewhere in germany in memory of those who were killed in whats being investigated as a potential right wing terror attack in the city of how now on wednesday evening at the Brandenburg Gate that iconic symbol here in the center of berlin we saw people forming a human chain in solidarity with the people of haiti now also at another location in the city people saying that theyve come out on to the streets against racism and semitism and right wing terrorism theres also been a vigil taking place in the city of hanau where this incident took place frank falta steinmeier the german president who is in attendance there there have been other politicians out and about of various events that have been taking place on thursday evening 9 people were killed 2 separate locations 2 she should bars in the western city of head now not far from the major city of frankfurt a 42 year old man who is believed to be the main suspect was later found dead at his home alongside his 72 year old mother those that were witness to these 2 incidents in hanau described what they heard what they saw as the shootings took place in dont have such if you had to go i heard gunshots then i ran out and looked in the direction of the she should but i couldnt see anything i mean that the doors were open and people were running out of the other restaurants i heard from my neighbor that someone was shooting at the restaurant around back and told my guests to stay away from the window. I walked with my 2 little kids. Who pulled the shooting began through actually 100 meters from the place when i went up stairs i heard 5 to 7 gunshots. You know i came home at half past 9 parked my car and went upstairs we watch some t. V. Then my wife said there was a helicopter hovering overhead and i thought whats the matter. We waited a little and then looked out the roof window and saw a large group of Police Officers about 25 of them with about 20 vehicles they surrounded the house and it was a strange thing to see the show of the attorney general is confirmed that the investigation is focusing on a potential right wing extremist link this is after a 24. 00 page manifesto belonging to the main suspect was found in this manifesto he talks about a hatred of foreigners their hatred of nonwhites the extermination of people from certain nations in the middle east in north africa and in central asia it is riddled with racist tropes in bar right theories on things such as eugenics theres also a video which is emerged that was posted by the main suspect just a few days ago or. There is no clue in this that he was planning to carry out this type of attack it seems that its being directed towards those in the United States this video is well full of conspiracy theories what we have heard though is strong words from politicians here in germany saying that they want to get to the bottom of why this happened angola merkel the german chancellor counseled her apartment on thursday and said that no stone would be left unturned when it came to this investigation. That its too early to give a conclusive assessment everything is being done to find out what was behind this murder but a lot already suggests far right rhesus not of the attacker he apparently acted out of hatred towards people of different descent religion. Racism is a poison hatred is a poison and this close and exists in our society and has led to many crimes. But there are a lot of
