aware that men were constantly watching that. one woman told researchers if you were a female that would definitely get a comment from all the men because they would notice you said makes it easier to notice like a good looking woman walking by in the office because you can see everything there's no hallways or like offices to hide it. so that's what they call it. i'm not saying it like is that i'm not saying that doesn't exist men don't watch that women don't watch that we don't watch whatever you know something i find attractive i don't think that's that i think that it's going a step further to say that you know it's suddenly and open office allows men to do that that somehow it's the open offices fault that's what i find where there's issues about open offices first of all there's hierarchy issues whether you're male or female there's just general issues of loudness of jury they get everybody gets sick you get the flu in an open office everyone has the flu and that's one of the

many things and the thing is you work to a certain position and then you're sitting at a desk like everybody else and there's no understanding of what your position is but i have to say that this is an issue of behavior not design because the issues that were in the study that they found were totally across the board but most people you miss certain things you miss it's too loud it's too distracting you have to do all these things to make up for it but if there are men or women making inappropriate comments in the office if they're making people feel uncomfortable that's sexual harassment that's a restaurant that's creating a hostile work environment so do something about it for a dollar and blame this because again boy then it's not bad behavior it's just the open office plan made them do it if we just had a look and also with this idea that a moment many of us you know a quiet place to go when things are upsetting dude it's not just us everybody nobody wants to hear bad news with the whole office watching nobody wants to be yelled out with the whole office right right and don't make it

a sexism issue no we're open offices are not making people sexist sexist make workplaces sexes period i mean if you just say i don't like it they were pretty close at the end of the day and when you when you look at this is a little kind of thing it's like that was just going out as much in closed off as was open office and you know this is over and sexual harassment didn't happen in closed off. to me it all depends on the weather open or closed at the pens on the industry you're in at the end of the day and what's more beneficial for getting the job done and tainting a professional environment to do your job at the office like great news or was going to be we're going to be all be all the back and forth at each other and things like that but like some places i don't know i don't understand i mean maybe everybody is going to have bad behavior responsible for their bad behavior and stop their guitar i go to break court watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered of the facebook and twitter so your poll shows that r.t. dot com coming up sean stone talks the death row case of cooper with the author of state. and then u.s.

geological survey's ask you to please stop being marshmallows over a lava flow stay tuned. in july twenty seventh team. attempt a freelance journalist working with. militant shelling in syria. his sacrifice quality has established a memorial they will recognize the reporters who often risk to say can do truth and through the peace you can submit to your published works in a video written form until june the twelfth go to a. you

know. you never know what's around the corner you never know what's in the pub you can walk into excitement it's that not knowing that's where the adrenalin much comes from. and you can use and move on to move him in the extreme he will produce and. the violence is a part and it's almost a schizophrenia. where you can do all these things and behave like. you're born with all of this but a little while for the both of us both more social those are going to last. and

this man and through him the. real good on policy that if. i would grow older we're not by very young i really did a poll that would appeal to get. me anything is that least if you don't get me involved it's constantly evolving and. as does a famously said the degree of civilization in a society is revealed by entering its prisons meaning that the best judge of a culture is how it treats its prisoners but what does it say about a society when some of its prisoners are only guilty of being framed this is the controversy surrounding the imprisonment of kevin cooper who in one thousand nine hundred five was convicted for the brutal murders of a california family and house cast but whose alleged framing by law enforcement is

at the heart of the book scapegoat the chino hills murder and the framing of cabin cooper by author patrick o'connor o'connor recently sat down with our own john stone to discuss the case. that they do so much for joining me today we're going to . kevin cooper and his case now most people may not have heard of kevin cooper especially outside of california but can you tell us first and foremost why is kevin cooper who is now sitting on death row in california such an important story . well i think it represents one of the in all of the most flattering abuses of state power to frame a person for a crime he had nothing to do it they wanted to solve this case and they wanted to they wanted to pin it on him. and so they used a lot of dirty tricks to do that it was a tremendous abuse of state power. precisely and then you know just to reflect upon the case this is one thousand eight hundred three we're talking about

a quadruple murder a white family in chino hills area and the man who is panned for the murders is this man kevin cooper who had recently escaped from prison and even though the suspects were whites and even i believe the girlfriend of one of the suspects had reported saying i believe my boyfriend was involved despite all this what was the motivation for from the from your perspective as a researcher and author for pinning it on kevin cooper when all the evidence was actually pointing away from him. well. they sold the foul the crime scene. these murders were discovered on a sunday afternoon so all the like the coroner's office is you know our bodies downey on the lie after crime lab people aren't they aren't the first teams holmes at the c.n.n. they send in these early inexperienced people into this incredible crime scene in the master bedroom of the ryans house and they don't take the blood properly they

take it from there's blood everywhere in this room on every surface there is blood good for people who have been hacked to death with an axe and cut up with a knife penetrate it with a with a ice pick i mean this is a terrible bloody scene. it was no no no law enforcement officer ever seen anything like it and then to have these inexperienced. crime lab people come in and take all the blown wrong. mix it all up together they didn't ever say segregate segregated and then only two days into the end of the investigation the the district attorney. which is very unusual he got he got this idea to take down the entire crime scene take the walls out all the furniture out and put it out in the front yard. and then ship it off to a warehouse where the temperatures were one hundred twenty degrees so all the blood

evidence went by the board once they once they deconstructed the crime scene so they can't they had no way of. making any sense out of what happened in this house . so therefore i think they started looking for a scapegoat well kevin became a very convenient scapegoat when they found out a couple of days later that he had hold holed up in a vacant house one hundred twenty five yards below this kind of a hilltop house that the ryan family lived in an arabian horse country in chino hills once they saw that he was there this escaped prisoner from a nearby the chino institute for men three three miles down the road big news they just felt it had to be him. and title that way they had was a racial motivation. a racial motivation to that. i think there is i

think there was in this case. but. what i'm really thinking is they botched it so badly they botched the crime scene so badly that they this more of a scapegoat thing than anything else. they had. they had information from the eight year old boy josh ryan he survived this incredible massacre and his parents master bedroom and was able to tell the people at the low level in the hospital there that his assailants were three white men and he also told this to a deputy who had interviewed him at the hospital later. and. there was a family. guy and his wife were these these murders happened around midnight on a saturday there was this man and his woman they were trying to pull out of the only road that leads out away from the ryan's house is a one is a one way is

a one road scoping lease road they were trying to come out of the driveway on english road with this station wagon being driven by three containing three white guys navy four but the man saw three the woman saw four. went hurling by them and. went off into the night so we get we have the these people seeing this was the ryan station wagon by the way after the murders were committed they stole the ryan station wagon and then drove it down a very high rate of speed down old english road and then the ca who's went to a book are about a mile and a half down the street where they came in and were obnoxious. there were three women in there want to melissa bell bottom missed and she said to

the one of these guys who was hitting on him i hope you realize you're covered in blood at which point these these yahoos left that who were the who are the real murderers in your analysis well for sure. diana roper. was her boyfriend was a guy named lee perle who. they lived in mentor on about forty five miles from. he came home this least. four years earlier he had he had murdered a seventeen year old girl cover up cover up in a body parts and threw into a canal body parts were never found. he wished turned state's state's witness state's evidence and turned in this guy clarence rate allen a gang leader named clarence ray allen who ended up being the final man executed in

the state of california when he was executed in two thousand and six at the age of seventy one or so this is kind of a you know ironic thing but anyway so for all he only has this served four years and he gets out and he starts his relationship with diana rover and then on the day that the night of the the ryans were murdered. her oh and and throwing girlfriend another girlfriend of his. they come to this house an intruder. only stays long enough to take off he's wearing coveralls and he takes them off until is meant to but leave them in the bottom of a walk in closet and then heads out with the girlfriend in a couple days later when these pants are starting to stink diana rover picks him up

and she is that their cake and blood and they have white horse hair around the conflicts so she calls her father now father says comes over and motions of my god we've got to call the sheriff's office and so diana rupert calls and she says she has based on based on is and the fact that her boyfriend was no longer when he came home that night he was a weren't just tan t. shirt he had on that morning. she thought it was very probable that he was involved in these chino hills murders so. so we have this was the murders happened on these on june the sixth this is three days later june the ninth what diana roper turns in these these coveralls. that really implicate leaf or so i would certainly put least in this group i don't know who i don't know who his companions were i do know where he went to the day when he was out that day with

a guy named michael don't know. any might have been associated with another guy named kenneth but i have no clue whether those two people were involved but i have very high high percentage of confidence that leif earl was in that house and got was involved in the in this massacre of the runs. so if given that there is blood evidence and certainly this may have been before d.n.a. was being tested the way it evolved through the ninety's into us to the present day why is it that kevin cooper is still sitting here on facing death row given that there must be some blood d.n.a. evidence that would exonerate him. a good point and they would. this was the cover all it would have been to would have would have excluded exonerated kevin cooper back in one thousand a if if if they had ever been tested but when they turned him over. didn't

turn him over to this substation like this is the humanity it was the biggest county unit in the united states san bernadino county there's like twelve substations so they turned in addition to call you substation and the guy that went out and got to report where did you make some reports is it down the homicide homicide never gets back to it. and by now they're focused in on kevin cooper so they're not to do i'm interested in bloody coveralls from men trone when they got there convinced kevin cooper is the guy so they never come out to see these. coveralls and he never asked them to be shipped in so that a few months later when the first day when kevin cooper is going to be have his preliminary hearing that should be in the symbol the deputy that picked him up he brought he hasn't put in an incinerator and dempsey dumpster kind of thing and throws him away so we don't have those coveralls. as summer time is upon us once

and sticky treat remains a staple at bonfires and get togethers everywhere smores however residents of hawaii now the callaway hall can now may want to rethink their marshmallow roasting techniques on monday the u.s. geological survey is volcano houser its program took to twitter to warn residents not to use vault. vents or using lava to roast marshmallows i'm serious this morning was prompted by one curious twitter user who tweeted out the u.s.g.s. account asking if it is safe to roast marshmallows over volcanic volcanic vents quote assuming you had a long enough stick that it according to us yes not only what the smores poisonous gases and sulphuric acid a maybe even from these scorching bends but they were pretty bad too as cool as roasting marshmallows over a volcano may sound we suggest you stick to bonfires like the rest of us so mazing

your satellite images but yeah don't be like smores from hell all the debt. all right that is our show for you if you remember everything of this world we're not told we're above the belt so i tell you all i love you i am tired all been through and i'm tired of a lot of people watching the sox have a great day and. the american political soap opera widely known as russia gate appears to have no wind no evidence has been revealed the trump campaign colluded with russia there is mounting evidence the intelligence community or should i say the deep state monitored believin spied on drug world.

well you know that they were kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. i mean they're in the small boats next to the hard pool of ships and it's just. not. the little self to be told fish already ninety percent of the dots i need to bone connor. concept fifteen scoops seventy five tons they do it several times a day with a big fleet so no you get an idea on why ocean. we have to understand we can not stay still and just. be within this oh he is the deal for you because you are. i'm doing this because i want the future world to future generations to have out and enjoy the ocean we have.

lines here we're not see a new british documentary revealed to the doctors treating x. spies sort of a script and his daughter thought they were dealing with a drug overdose and initially took no additional proportions. new hopes on new expectations that u.s. nominates the eighteenth command for the afghan war which has now been running to seventeen years we also look at the fate of afghans who hope donald trump would signal a new era for the country. at all to host a legendary goalie peter schmeichel visits russia's world cup host city that has a special significance for him. full games being played here and the first of those has a personal interest to me. that will feature my son playing in this play but then

that is. your world news on the hour every hour this is the international a very warm welcome to. a b.b.c. documentary has revealed the testimonies of doctors that treated x. . and his daughter following their poisoning in the british city of souls bri in early march medics say that at first they did not know what they were dealing with and took no additional precautionary measures on cesar takes a closer look. the b.b.c. had been given access to the hospital which treats the script father and his daughter yulia and spoke to some of the medical staff working there who treated them now that programme was aired on tuesday evening and during the course of the programme doctors interviewed revealed that initially they thought that the script

files had been victims of opioid poisoning and that's what they were initially treated for now it's only after they were informed that mr script was indeed a former spy that they began to believe that it could have been a targeted attack using nerve agents of some sorts now for some this is raised several questions namely if in the initial hours and days of that of the script has been taken in for treatment the doctors and nurses and the other medical staff weren't wearing protective clothing how come none of them also got poisoned which at the end of the day would have been the case had they been exposed to such. agents now of course there are different opinions offered by the doctors in the course of that program as to exactly what happened and still not yet clear how the

script files were cured or how they were treated in order to get over their illness now there are some especially russian chemical experts who points out that the symptoms of opioid poisoning very different to those of nerve agent poisoning in particular of such powerful weapons grade nerve agents a weapons grade chemical version and an initial police report stated grupo was swinging back and forth while seated on the bench and also raised his hands multiple times this description resembles a drugs overdose and the initial version was that the script. as was suffering from friend to little poisoning first tell tale signs of military grade substance poisoning or rapid pupil constriction spasms and urine every incontinence all the symptoms are absent from the initial reports. now again it's a murder that's only on the choose they did the script begin to receive treatment

for those nerve agents of course now we chalk being identified as the chemical used in the attack but they were taken to hospital on the sunday so that's two whole days they were victims of this what was great hugely powerful weapons grade material and they were treated and thankfully managed to survive so. that b.b.c. documentary on tuesday evening raising more questions than answers let's recap what happened in salzburg the script hours were found slumped on a park bench and taken to hospital on the fourth of march that was sunday doctors say they didn't take any extra precautions and initially treated the script for a suspected opioid overdose it changed tack and the police officer who had found them was also admitted to hospital two days later and the identity of the expire was revealed to them. after the incident the claim that russia was behind the

attack saying that only russia had the means and the motive as well as a track record that moscow has repeatedly denied it had any involvement in said other countries developed and noted that it traded in a high profile spy swap and therefore had no no need or reason to go after him it also says the fact that it's being denied access to a russian citizen is suspicious. has appointed a new u.s. and nato forces in afghanistan a u.s. led mission to help afghanistan get rid of terrorists started in two thousand and two shortly after the nine eleven attack lieutenant general often becomes the eighteenth of the seventeen year campaign that means the afghanistan mission has had a new commander every year on average the latest u.s. watchdog report says the campaign has brought little good to afghanistan.

so i'm in afghanistan who hoped america's presence would have sure a new era of peace and stability have paid a heavy price america tells the story back in august twenty sixth teen an afghan man named his son after donald trump but that was before trump's top television for the white house now after being inspired by trump's business achievements outlined his books the afghan man hope that giving his son the same name would bring about the same sort of luck but we're very happy to name our child after the best

politician and i hope he will become a politician like donald trump as well i gave my son this name to make him lucky and i want to see him as smart and mindful as donald trump but that's backfired miserably the family was driven out of their hometown because his community took issue with the child's non muslim name now he's proportionately fled afghanistan after seeing the reaction to my son's name and also the taliban directed assassination of the man who awarded president from the medal i don't feel safe this comes after the taliban assassinated one of the afghan men who minted a gold medal honoring the us president back in january cold in the b. and his friend a far hot barri raise money to produce a special gift for donald trump to thank the state department for tough and stance on pakistan we are suspending security assistance security assistance only to pakistan at this time in till the pakistani government takes decisive action against groups including the afghan taliban gombe was killed by the taliban and

that's according to a taliban spokesperson sadly appreciation for donald trump isn't exactly body armor his friend who was involved in producing the medal for the bari now fears for his life and he claims that washington for failing to protect them. the americans are all friends and can help us in fact we would deceived because we thought the americans really appreciates all work and our intentions we thought the u.s. is a superpower and values friendship. but it doesn't nearly seventeen years ago the u.s. invaded afghanistan to eradicate terrorism but after all these years to even those who still have trust in washington seems that it can't be protected samir khan. washington d.c. . on tuesday israel turned back a group of palestinian ships trying to breach the gaza blockade and sail to cyprus the main vessel was carrying patients wounded in recent border protests as well as students hoping to obtain an education abroad

a seventeen people were on board the vessel trying to reach lima sold in southern cyprus it was into intercepted nine and nautical miles off the coast of gaza thus despite international accords under which israel is obliged to allow vessels to travel up to twenty nautical miles from gaza a local correspondent hindu dari was on one of the boats. so now we're in the middle of the sea as you see there are tens of ten's of those states into the sea to turn out we know that there we are going to sail three out of this one is where and not a good one as it is the last point we can we can't beat that palestinians are continuing to create much of return events and they're continuing the protests but here today in another way this is more of it and that's not to break this season

has been imposed on gaza strip for more than eleven years. now we're entering the floor not of the law that you started to see is right warships up. closer to the palestinian boat that they started asking them to leave the sea would still not clear were trying to get closer and to see what's happening but all we see is is right you want ships going closer to a big very close to the palestinian protester boats policy against one wants to go back to the seaport unless as something big happens with now we started to feel that it's getting a bit dangerous at what happened at that time that we went back to the seaport because it was very dangerous naval forces arrested then control the boats and that's what word launched from the god the sea port the israeli military said hamas .
