one is a high school teacher he was part of a gala within a rabia knights the other images including a grainy video have also emerged of trudeau in similar makeup reportedly in high school in the 1990 s. here's his 2nd apology in less than 24 hours. i want to begin by saying a few words directly to racialize canadians who face discrimination every single day in their lives even in a country like canada. what i did. hurt them hurt people who shouldn't have to face intolerance and discrimination because of their identity what previously appeared to be a dull election campaign has been energized and thrown into uncertainty one of trudeau's opponents canada's only nonwhite federal political leader spoke of his own experiences with discrimination when i was growing up i thought rhesus i dealt with them myself and i fought back but i got a message from a friend who reminded me that there's

a lot of people out there they couldn't do that they couldn't fight back they didn't have the ability to do that and i think that that's going to hurt to see this is going to hurt them also during this campaign mr trudeau and the liberal party have often linked andrew shear the conservative opposition leader to right wing media and white supremacist websites mr scherer was quick to condemn the prime minister wearing brown face is an act of open mockery and racism it was just as racist in 2001 as it is in 2019 but what comedian saw this evening is someone with a complete lack of judgment and integrity trudeau has been the face of his government in front of the cameras much of the time welcoming syrian refugees apologizing for the ill treatment of indigenous people in canada he was deadlocked in the opinion polls with his conservative opponent before the images appeared how this affects his standing with the voters will certainly determine his political future the more the more damaging possibility for him the more severe one is that

this causes people to kind of reflect on who he is as a leader to look back not only at this incident but other incidents where he's his judgment seems to have been poor and then to make judgments about his character kind of globally it's hard. you know why trudeau and his liberal party appear to have been blindsided by the release of these pictures which have been on the internet for all to see for quite some time the question now is can trudeau recover or will his party be looking for a new leader without such images linked to his or her name daniel acknowledges era toronto now while the e.u. and the u.k. are in deadlock over the irish border question the patience of ireland's farmers is wearing thin london says it'll allow the free movement of food over the border from ireland after bragg's it but is not willing to allow anything else to freely cross into the u.k. lawlessly has the story. now. it's called the irish national

planning championships but in reality it's more a celebration of farming showing just how seriously they take it on the island of ireland the men driving the tractors have rock star status here. on a sports heroes it was a job well these people are irish national heroes they were 3 days a 3rd of a 1000000 visitors inspect the machinery and the livestock it's all in the blood. and given that exports 90 percent of all the food it produces much of it to the u.k. the idea of the new border cutting the island into is a nightmare there's a real possibility of a coming from would not survive. the potential maybe the us to invade some of them are still ones creek may be from above given the level of indebtedness that our trade off if they find out what the british government wants to achieve at this point is vaguely best but it seems to accept the huge importance of irish food to

the u.k. politicians use phrases like the all ireland food economy which most people don't understand in practical terms it's much simpler so it appears bracks it has come down to this the british government says it's happy for meats from that how to pass on checks through the irish border it's not surprising really that piece of farming equipment over there and if that's appears ridiculously picky it's also the case of the british government doesn't seem to realise that that would be completely unacceptable it's about the irish governments and the european union the agriculture minister turned up to take questions there wasn't a single british journalist there there's almost no attempt to understand the irish position in terms of the volume of trade from the republican ordinarily in the region 700000000 and something slightly less coming from the south and the granular detail of that is you know. 10 percent of the pool is processed from

the public 400000 sheep consoled for his daughter a could give you a myriad of statistics the continuation of the economy is really important to us and those politicians who represent voters around the border insist that if the u.k. can't figure out what it wants it should let irish people decide for themselves this is why people say the failure to agree on brics it could lead to a united ireland so the choices are. the british government can either accept the backstop and the minimal protections that it provides in order to ensure that we don't have a hardening of the border or that can give the people in the north of ireland a choice as to which union they want to be part of didn't want to be part of the dysfunctional so called united kingdom or didn't want to as declared in the previous referendum remain part of the european union the essential contradiction of breck's it remains that the u.k. wants to shut itself off from the european union while keeping its border with the e.u. open any ideas proposed by the irish to square that circle have been ruled out as

unacceptable in london and yet here they are still waiting for the british prime minister to come up with something else instead. carlo in ireland. kurdistan is trying to boost its image and revive lost traditions the government is organizing the 1st ever know my games thousands of people are attending the event this week on the banks of the lake show about us reports. this game started on the plains of central asia more than 500 years ago could cook bordeaux teams on horseback compete to drop a did go into a. it's a classic sport among no men it's one of the most fiercely contested kurdistan's 1st national nomad games the event was created to revive traditional sports and customs but it's also a global branding exercise. the main goal is to promote friendship between regions and nations you know since the 1st nomad games it is our brand and is known around

a ban on fires for land clearing the amazon is burning and a right not seen in almost a decade the sea and human reports now from. in the state of. 60 year old agronomist. walks through the charred remains of his land for the 1st time since fire destroyed it all. but these were my seedling beads or years of work here you would grab the dirt and it smelled differently it had a life now it's air. but it is sustainable system without artificial fertilisers only native species to make the land more productive. but all his work to grow his 1st pineapples sugarcane fruit trees and corn went up in smoke in just a few minutes he says that filmed this video on september 7th just before he had to

run to save himself. he describes what's left a surprise to total dysart occasion. the characteristic of this next of forest is its ability to survive decades of fires but with every new fire it becomes more degraded in smaller until it withers away and the only thing left is it does it. last month the number of wildfires in the amazon tripled compared to the previous year and as elsewhere here in the most impacted state they continue spreading until a week ago all this looked like a kind of in chanted forest what scientists call an environmental corridor with more than 100 native species and not just trees but also animals like wild deer armadillos wars poulos and many many more are the fires have destroyed all this in some cases were accidental in others intentional but in all cases they were manmade . the much state environmental department argues that the number of fires is

relative. compared to 20 i tane which was a rainy year the amount of deforestation will double this year yet if you compare it to other years it's quite everett's nothing extraordinary. but that's not really the veil says she's lived in the area for 20 years and says her family never experienced anything close to and wildfires came right up to their doorstep they survived by a miracle she says. i'm very frightened still too afraid to even go to work because i don't want to leave the house and my family alone it's generous. she's right to be worried the temperatures have been hovering at nearly $43.00 degrees for weeks the start of the rainy season is at least a month away and even that won't guarantee that this vital tropical forest will be out of danger you see in human i'll just see that sharp lather digvijay singh

whistle blower statute is not only to encourage those to report problems of uses violations of laws but also to have a legal mechanism to do so and not to disclose classified information because there's no other remedy. that whole purpose is being frustrated here because the director of national intelligence has made the unprecedented decision not to share the complaint with congress or trump has denied the accusation here's what he tweeted another fake news story out there it never ends virtually any time i speak on the phone to a foreign leader i understand that there may be many people listening from various u.s. agencies not to mention those from the other country itself no problem mike hanna has more now from washington d.c. . the man who received the original complaint as inspector general of the intelligence community he has now sent a series of letters to the house intelligence committee outlining the procedures he

followed and the procedures that have not been followed he says he took 2 weeks to investigate the complaints and found them to be credible and importantly of an urgent nature he sent his report to the acting director of national intelligence who legally has a week to consider the report before forwarding it to the relevant congressional committee in this case the house intelligence committee but the director the acting director of national intelligence went to the justice department who told him that legally he did not have to pass the information on now this of the intelligence oversight of the intelligence community making very clear he does not agree with this decision and in fact finds that the incorrect decision he's made this opinion public in that letter to the congressional committee this is given ammunition to that committee to take further action against the justice department in particular

which it accuses of blocking information that legally the congregational committee should receive in the interests of protecting the president the congressional committee has now subpoenaed the acting director of intelligence to appear before it next week to explain why he did not follow constitutional and legal procedure and forward vetted complaint to the relevant committee in congress or clear finkelstein is a professor of law at the university of pennsylvania law school she says this is a significant development. this is an enormous story possibly the biggest story of this presidency because 1st of all it's arguably the 1st time that a whistle blower action has been filed against the president if indeed that's what this action is as we now are coming to understand. and.
