Yemen, a country in the middle east, that borders Saudi Arabia, is in crisis as its war with the Saudis and their allies continues triggering a famine and cry from aid organisations for help. The Yemen is in the middle of a civil war where the capital has been taken by Houthis while the old government, supported by Saudi Arabia, has retreated to the city of Aiden. A Saudi led coalition has been fighting on behalf of the displaced government in Aiden where it has been bombing with illegal arms as well as hitting hospitals and Schools. The chaos has caused famine with half of the population without enough food. Destabilisation has lead to ISIS activity in the country. The US is disgracefully aiding the Saudis and ISIS by refuelling Saudi jets and providing the Saudis with arms and equipment. The UK also provides the Saudis with arms that are illegal to use under international law with the Prime Minister recently visiting one of the Saudis allies Bahrain to try and sell them more...

While Aleppo burns politicians and their corporate media try to benefit from it by spreading half-truths and straight up lies. The news coming out of Aleppo has been tiny, with primary sources in the area at a minimum, as well us unbiased primary sources being basically nonexistent. So instead of being honest and telling people that we are not sure what is going on at this stage in Aleppo they rush to fill the information gap with hearsay and their own bias viewpoint. Russian news is saying that the evacuation of Civilians has been completed with only rebels left in the area. The Syrian Military is saying the evacuation has been suspended Some western news agencies accuse Iran of wanting the evacuation to be stopped so that they can slaughter everyone in the area. Humanitarian agencies are saying there are civilians still in the area, but where they are getting this information from is unclear. This kind of misinformation is exactly how corporate media, and the forces behind...

The EU has been talking about what it will do during the Brexit negotiations. The main point being what will happen to EU immigrants in the country and what will happen to British people living in the EU. The Prime minister has said she would like to sort the issue as one of the first things addressed in the Brexit Negotiations. She would like that British citizens in the EU have the right to remain, giving away a negotiation point, which is funny as the Prime Minister has been adamant that they the government will not reveal negotiation positions. So which is it Prime Minister, do we get to know positions now? The EU has taken the lead amid the confusion and lack of any plan from the British Government while the Government uses the cover of holding its cards close to its chest. This seems to be a point of agreement between the UK and the EU, which is not surprising as the logistics and personal distress this would cause immigrants who have established themselves over years of ...

Theresa May has made much of her desire to crack down on irresponsible big business. But this may not go down well with some of her financial backers. Let take a look at a few of her pre-election downers: Sir Mick Davis , former owner of a mining conglomerate gave £30,000 Abel Halpern , a senior partner at a US private equity firm gave £30,000 Ian Taylor , CEO of oil dealer Vitol, which is a company previously found guilty of grand larceny in the Iraq Oil for food program, a 2001 article in the Observer stated that in 1995 Vitol had secretly paid US$1 million to Serbian war criminal Arkan to settle a deal with a Serbian Oil company, Orion. Vitol has denied all charges, arguing that no government agency has ever prosecuted the company in this respect. In 2007, Vitol pleaded guilty to grand larceny in a New York court for paying surcharges to Iraq's national oil company during Saddam's regime and circumventing the UN oil-for-food program. Vitol subsequently paid $17.5 ...

Russia has deployed more missiles to target shipping to add to the Nuclear capable Iskander systems as well as the S-400 missiles to Kaliningrad which is close to the border with Poland. The Russians have said that this is in response to the NATO deployment of their defensive shield which includes an anti-missile system in Poland. Russia says that the systems deployed in Kaliningrad would render these defenses pointless, Russia feels this is a checkmate against the increased NATO deployment. The move comes soon after NATO exercises by NATO forces near Russias western border, which was part of the continued worrying saber rattling between Russia and NATO. These missile systems not only represent a potential nuclear threat but also allow Russia to disrupt any movements Baltic countries may make in a combat situation to support each other. We can only hope that the mutual escalation of military force between NATO and Russia is stopped soon. It seems we are already coming int...

At the moment the Artic is well above its average temperature for this time of year even though its winter and it's in virtual darkness for the entire time. Degradation of the Arctics has a knock on effect for planets weather systems, it acts a cooling system for the planet by reflecting solar energy back into space as well as cooling the seas and air. As the arctic melts, it creates a runaway warming effect as less Ice means more exposed sea which then absorbs more heat intern melting more ice. The ice will withdraw and release carbon and methane into the atmosphere which accelerates the runaway train of warming, as the arctic is estimated to hold half of the planets below ground carbon store, which is twice the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere at them moment. As the ice melts, sea levels will rise and weather systems will become more extreme and temperatures will rise. This obviously creates strains on population areas, food growth, and fresh water availability. The ar...

Theresa May has bashed big business for not paying its fair share of tax. Reminding them that they have to use the companies infrastructure such as roads and rely on its other public services. We wonder if she will also be bending the ear of her husband about the company that he works for. Philip works as a senior executive for Capital International Ltd, which controls an estimated $1.4 trillion dollars worth of assets. This includes tax dodging companies such as Starbucks, Amazon JP Morgan Chase, defense giant Lockheed Martin, tobacco company Philip Morris International, the pharmaceutical sector’s Merck & Co, and also Ryanair. According to Capital, Philips job is as a relationship manager in the UK, which entails him making sure the company knows about their customer's goals. Perhaps Theresa will be interested to know that Capital International have not paid corporation tax since 2009. Private eye is reporting that the company has accumulated losses of 26.4 Milli...
