he thinks about our coverage or lack thereof of gay rights in russia and this is what happened you know being here on the kremlin funded propaganda network i'm going to wear my gay pride suspenders and going to speak out what about bradley manning plus i exist i don't i'm not really interested in talking about bradley manning i've been talking about the horrific environment of homophobia in russia right now and the russian gay people know that they have and they have friends and allies on i think those are just about done thank you. i only go on that station with the russians. and that he did but anyway we don't want to waste too much time i critic we did invite him to speak tonight he denied saying that he said in interviews around the world after this event that r.t. is not a legitimate news channel that he just believes it would be supporting putin and his mouthpiece and that he won't participate in discussions on our network to give it credibility but i think that we should not spend too much time talking about

kirk and talk about the real issues absolutely we've invited peter tatchell who is with us now in london with regard to the law what it's basically says is that any information that makes homosexuality sound attractive or interesting. says that homosexuality or heterosexuality is equally valid is illegal if a person under eighteen might witnesses why shouldn't young people under eighteen know the facts of homosexuality and same sex love some of the moves. or if not they will drop to no gay people they should know the facts the truth not about sex but about love between people of the same gender in a moment peter would be asking. the purpose of the storm what it means and what it's trying to achieve but you quite rightly point to homophobic violence in russia but of course it's not just a problem here in the country i just like to give you some statistics about the problems elsewhere around the world in the u.s. for example sexual orientation ranks as the third highest motivator for hate crime

incidents off the race based on religion based attacks in new york alone crimes rose seventy percent this year according to local police let's look at the u.k. ninety eight hundred thirty can transfer be recorded each week across britain and compared to other types of hate crime the proportion of and to get taxes on the rise to what you agree you're going to get the rights here in russia what's your experience i cannot be called a champion of the russian government or anyone here in the russian government i mean i'm just fighting for the rights. i think the tabloids have to discuss something and that's what they have been discussing for the last days but that i was hijacked that i was tortured that i have been. harassed by everyone and so on yes it's absolutely true that my flight was raided by the police on tuesday because of the case of homophobic deputy of the russian duma and it was a really not a very pleasant. experience what happened during but it doesn't stop me is rife in this country one hundred percent true what i find it culturally interesting is that

what is the why is the focus on russia when there are seventy six countries around the world that you know how far west laws to death penalty etc i guess is every single day from people saying how could you live in moscow the reality is that if two tourists or americans come to moscow if they have come in say the sense just like they will in any other country they will be safe the whole picture is absolutely exaggerated it's not what they report is absolutely not true what they're saying is that basically everyone is being killed on the streets here. i mean i want to say i mean we i want what we want to say i'm here i mean i'm absolutely involved in all the public to t.v.'s you know i probably will and i don't know not being rated by the police why am i not running a role why am i not now in new york why not now in london why am i here in moore school in your studio fighting for your rights and talking about iraq that's what i want to say absolutely and it's proof you're here and it's very happy to talk about

homeless in the capital but one thing that's agreed upon and that is that the numbers are increasing it's gone up from thirty people to fifty sixty seventy. you can see a large number of people have gathered here to use night what is. now more all of the people who are here. but a number of them are when london mayor boris johnson came to office in two thousand and eight he pledged to end rusty playing by thousand and twelve not only did he not hit that target but rust leaping numbers that increased every year he's been in office in london and promised to be eradicate the sleeping bags and. yeah. it's very difficult. although it is. a problem. to paris database change shows a rise from three thousand four hundred seventy two people when the mayor came to

power to six thousand four hundred thirty seven sleeping rough last year but the mayor's office insists it's not all bad news and the increase in numbers isn't party to an increase in funding longer hours on the streets reached teams mean more people than ever before of being identified and now eight out of ten new sleepers lanie spend twenty four hours on the street yet despite the increase in funding many of the people here have been sleeping rough for months. on the street and in europe. that doesn't have. a lot of them are problems before. enough to leave the council please. do you think about going to the police from your own image of annoying. twenty two

it seems like in the face of giant corporations people are just sort of helpless i could be pretty pessimistic myself about what a few individuals with no real money or power can really do against the system but you never dull in fact if you remember tour discussion about ammonia doused pink slime being used across america and frozen fast foods well shift jamie oliver has actually managed to shame mcdonald's enough on t.v. to get them to back down and stop using this ultra processed form of quote meat at their establishments also we recently discussed gamer rage at the rather racist portrayal of russians in the game company of heroes two well while the rage actually worked and thanks to the seventeen thousand signatures on the change dot org petition that game has been pulled from russian shelves by the developer the thing is that massive corporations do a lot of bad things because they have no morals and are obsessed with profit but because they have no morals and are only obsessed with profit the second you even slightly threaten their cash flow they will instantly start cowering at your feet
