yes but what's interesting is the women in the office in this study which is a pretty vast study i mean they interviewed twenty seven women thirteen men over one to two hours over the course of like three years of this intensive. and that included observation interviews seeing how they interacted people who work the whole bit now women in the office so they felt that the new office set up this open office made them hyper aware that men were constantly watching. one woman told researchers if you were a female that would definitely get a comment from all the men because they would notice there's that makes it easier to notice like the 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 claim. i'm going to say you think 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 this hierarchy issues whether you're male or female there's just general issues of loudness of just they are 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 as 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 rassmann that's creating a hostile work environment so. do something about it don't blame this because again

going it's not bad behavior it's just the open office plan made them do it and we just had a look and also it's this idea that all women need a spot you know a quiet place to go when things are upsetting dude it's not just us everybody nobody wants to hear bad news but the whole office watching nobody wants to be yelled out with the whole office right right and don't make it to sexism as you know will open offices are not making people sexist sexist make workplaces sexes period i mean if you just say i don't like it i don't wear a period plus at the end of the day i mean look when you when you look at like open offices and that whole kind of thing it's like that was just going out as much in close office as was open office and i you know in this i was i was a man and sexual harassment didn't happen in close up i mean to me it all depends on the weather open or closed it depends 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 brain newsrooms need to be open because 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's going to have bad behavior responsible for their bad behavior or make them stop their guitar and i go to break court watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered of facebook and twitter so your poll shows that are to you dot com coming up sean stone talks the death row case of cooper with the author of a scapegoat. and then u.s. geological survey is asking the hawaiians to please stop roasting marshmallows over lava flows. stay tuned in the hole. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

with nor make this manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling class is the project themselves. the final. if said be the one person. in the middle of the room sit. in the. room. the american political soap opera widely known as russia gate appears to have no wind well 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 longer believe in spy world.

as does a s.k. famously said the degree of civilization in the 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 kevin cooper by author patrick o'connor o'connor recently sat down with our own john stone to discuss the case. that you so much for joining me today we're going to talk about 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 flagrant abuse is a state power to frame a person for a crime he had nothing to do with 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 downy on the lie after crime lab people aren't they aren't the first teams holmes at the c.n.n. the sudanese 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's blood goodness for people who have been hacked to death with an axe and cut up with a knife and 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 up in the front yard. and then ship it off to a house 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 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 thought it had to be him. and title that way there was a racial motivation. 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 are 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 maybe 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 who were the who are the real murderers in your analysis well for sure. diana roper. was her boyfriend was

a guy named lee pearl who. they lived in myntra on about forty five miles from. he came home this leaf. 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 the body parts were never found. he's turned state's state's witness state's evidence and turned in this guy clarence ray 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 to serve 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 intro. girl only stays long enough to take off he's wearing coveralls and he takes them off and throws men but leave them in the bottom of a walk in closet and then heads out with the girlfriend in a couple days later when he's parents are starting to stink diana rover picks him up and she says that they're 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 recalls 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 we have this was the murders happened on this 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 he went to the he went 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 leaf 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 and 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 would discover all it would have been it would have would have excluded the exonerated kevin cooper back in one thousand a if if if they had ever been tested but when they turn him over. do you turn him over to this substation nurse like this is the humanity it was the biggest county unit in the united states san bernadino county there's like twelve substations so we turned in addition she called yucaipa substation and the guy that went out and got to 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 what 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 him 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 sim. the deputy that picked him up he brought he has been quite 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 floors however residents of hawaii now the callaway volcano man 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 a volcanic volcanic events quote assuming you had a long enough stick that it according to us yes not only what the smores be poisonous gases and sulphuric acid and maybe even from these scorching bends but they were pretty bad too as cool as roasting marshmallows are volcano may sound we suggest you stick to bonfires like the rest of us so music or satellite images but yeah don't be like smores from hell all the debt. all right guys are so pretty you remember everything in this world we're not told about so it's all you all i love i am tired all been through and i'm out of watching the sox have a great day and. fifty

years ago britain and within to come together as a sleeping pill does this is what i believe because i just want to share the side effects were terrible but not on the road. across europe victims are still watching legal battles demanding at least some compensation in something to waste the physical damage itself as well as the conscious mind that the people who perpetrated this crime has never been the justice and it has been the. well you know the hard thing we kind of adopted because we were called pirates so

long. been there. in the small ball it's next to the harmful in sheep's and it's still. not up to. the little self to be told fish already ninety percent of the dots need to fall because their. concept fifteen scoops seventy five tons they do it several times a day with a big fleets of power you get an idea on why. we have to understand we can all stay still and just. be witness of the deal for years or. i'm doing this because i want the future world to the future generations to have out and enjoy the ocean we have.

gotten. back from the dead to the apparent killing of russian journalist. turns out to have been staged in an attempt by the ukrainian authorities to smoke out those planning his actual. b.b.c. documentary reveals how doctors treating the x. russian spy said the script al and his daughter initially feel that they were dealing with a drugs overdose and therefore took no additional precautions. and schooling the italians the budget commissioner says sorry after he's accused of trying to tell italy how to vote spy do mongering about the economic consequences of having populists in power.

very good living great as always have your company my name is the harvey this is art an international. russian journalist and kremlin critic said to have been killed in his apartment on tuesday is actually alive it was initially reported that are carted by jungle was killed outside his flat in kiev let's get the details on the story from r.t. correspondent tenacious sethi. i think so this was a prize to most people is quite an understatement once you've heard that some of you don't expect there to be too many developments but there were what on earth happened exactly well talk about shock here just this morning we saw a lot of finger pointing headlines across the media blaming russia fishel is quick to say that russia was the mastermind behind this operation but today's picture is completely different there was clearly no murder as russia has been saying all along and much the conclusion of everybody. is alive and well and in fact he

appeared at a press conference together with the head of ukrainian security services now they said this was all done to boil some russian plots. talks a few months ago that someone wanted to kill him and that someone is in custody now but of course we'll have to wait and see as to what evidence if any they have to prove that this was a plot at all it seems like russia really couldn't win in this situation when it was thought he was dead the implication was russia was somehow connected the fact that he's actually alive there's still an implication the russia was somehow connected we wanted to kill him what the russian reaction well russia is understandably feel risks of being falsely accused of killing the journalist and russian foreign ministry spokeswoman said that it's great news for allies but the whole operation is a bit of a propagandist nature we've also heard from some strong words from reporters without borders they called this operation staged pathetic and regrettable

regardless of what's motives care of says that it was pursuing but let's have a look at the media reaction if we have a look at that it's been somewhat a bit of confusion let's take a look. at what on earth is showing on fred is very much a developing story we're obviously still getting information but it definitely is a very very bizarre one and certainly the russians will be quite angry at the fact that they've been accused of killing this man but in reality he is very much still alive as we're seeing now becky what is it's shocking and this will certainly only agrees to the middle of the fake news conspiracists. ok is insisting that this was all done because about falling a plot russian plot to kill as i understand this is the first time we've heard something like this well a lot of journalists have been killed in ukraine in recent years in the think there has been pointed out russia in those circumstances but then it turns out that moscow didn't have anything to do with any of this so let's take

a look at some of these cases although as you cranium journalist died in two thousand and fifteen russia was immediately pinpointed the blame but he in fact was killed by ultra right activists for his pro russian these. was a journalist that was killed in two thousand and sixteen. and independent investigation showed that he was killed by a bomb detonated by x. ukrainian security service as we fast forward again to two thousand and seventeen and then this phone call of the former russian deputy was killed what we know for sure is that he was killed by his wife's ex-boyfriend who ordered the killing but ukraine also says that russian security services were somehow involved but they didn't explain how but with this latest bizarre twist that we've just seen we're left questioning just how much credibility we can put into words you know there's no doubt the relations with russia and ukraine are terrible have been for a while but there's definitely as you said the most bizarre story to come out but involving the two countries many things an issue certainly with the outside

political commentator and journalist john white believes that this whole incident leaves ukraine with a trust issue. it sounds preposterous the story that we are being told by ukrainian authorities in regard to this gentlemen's effete murder is certainly doesn't ring true at this stage you could be of course need to get more information before we can build a complete picture but the idea that they would need to feel like this gentleman to murder to catch to do real supports killers who are in the process of concocting a plot to murder him it lacks the ring of truth the western media has been led up the garden path by the ukrainian authorities and it suggests that you clean authorities can never be trusted and in future when they come out with their allegations of murder or any taint of cranes being committed with the clean inference of russian involvement saw it is preposterous the story that

we are being spun on because we got to this gentleman is fit to murder but as a scene more information will hopefully build a more complete picture of events. donald trump has appointed a new commander of u.s. and nato forces in afghanistan in two thousand and want shortly after the nine eleven attacks or seen and said that it was intervening to get rid of terrorists there and has never left it in a general austin miller becomes the eighteenth commander in this seventeen year campaign but the constant turnover of commanders the latest us what's the report says the campaign has brought little good to afghanistan. it is good.

right now. and some in afghanistan hope to america's presence would assure in a new period of peace and stability of paid a heavy price american explains. 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 off to 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 into 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 goal nobody 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

a party now fears for his life and he blames 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. . the doctors who treated the russian spies screwball of his daughter following the poisoning of the british city of souls remarks have appeared in the b.b.c. documentary and situation has been looking into what new things we've learned about the case this is a b.b.c. newsnight program documentary has certainly highlighted some more curiosities about

the whole script all saga adding just a little bit more mystery to this whole story if we didn't have enough already now this is a firsthand account of the medical staff doctors and nurses that were treating this compiles when they were admitted to hospital in solsbury following the poisoning and for starters some of the things described in this documentary were that initially it was assumed that the script all had experienced an opiate overdose and there were no extra precautions taken in that regard there was no indication of the fact that it was a nerve agent and therefore we take on normal protection when any patient comes in which has not at that point taken any extra precautions in terms of protecting ourselves the screwballs were found in a park bench back in march on march fourth on a sunday they were taken to hospital then by tuesday police officer nick bailey was admitted into the hospital and then only after it was that based off of a row.
