wants to take advantage come november we've already been told many times there's no doubt russian hackers ahead of the midterm they know it was arrogant and security of our next election the russians are targeting members of congress the u.s. midterm elections are just around the corner and russia's attacking teams to haunt the united states russian election interference in the twenty eight hundred midterms the russians have not reduced their hacking it's even the first thing the prodigy's at the conference will tell you right there which could also be a great excuse when someone asks the suits why the systems vulnerable to say the least by the way when the good will hackers look back at their previous conference they wrote if russia can attack our election so can others iran north korea isis or even criminal or extremist groups because let's face it if hacking an american election is child's play perhaps it's time the guys in charge did their homework on

where the real threats are. next this morning new revelations of emerged on cia director gino hospitals past involvement in the torture of terrorist suspects the photos were released by the national security and date back to two thousand and two when housefull ran a secret cia detention center in thailand they described torture sessions run by psychologists working as contract is for the cia techniques range from physical and psychological harassment to isolation in a box. dittos included hooded confinement of machinery in the large box forced nudity adjusting his shackles and slamming him against the wall and. interrogators covered the subject's head with the hood and left him on the water. shaking and asking god to help him repeatedly. interrogators were going to get the truth out of the subject eventually. one of the files contains details on the

interrogation of an al qaeda terrorist captured in two thousand and two he spent four years in cia black sites including the one in thailand gina hospital's watch he was subsequently transferred to guantanamo bay in fact that's where he is now now his head case was highlighted back in twenty fourteen by the senate intelligence committee the committee released a report saying interrogators of the taint no useful information from. the shiri however when questioned by the senate before taking office has spilled insisted that intelligence gained from al qaeda suspects had proved vital the president has asserted that torture works do you agree with that statement. senator i i don't believe that torture works i believe as many people directors who have sat in this chair before me that valuable information was obtained from senior al qaeda operatives that allowed us to defend this country and prevent another attack from

a cia officer or a mcgovern says war crimes were perpetrated at that black site that has. gina has it was not was playing fast and loose with the truth at her hearing and she was allowed to do that if she was allowed to classify the derogatory information on herself before the hearing she supervise the torture to see the graphics and to tail out run the interrogator ling that's nothing short of banging someone's head into a war in the water treatment that's one of boarding condemned by all manner of nations because was practiced by the japanese general war two war crime and so to see this kind of thing reveal in gory detail the only solace i get from this is the fact that our system of law sometimes works and that is that the national security archive that did a freedom of information request for this got these details. also

this morning his very prime minister is digging in over another large scale protest in tel aviv against the recently passed nation state law which arab israelis claim makes northern jews second class citizens benjamin netanyahu says the rallies underline the need for such a law of. mr peabody new book put the. we received clear testimony of the urgency of the nation state law we saw palestinian flags in the heart of tel aviv we heard the calls with blood and fire we will redeem palestine many of the demonstrators want to repeal the law of return cancel the national anthem for the power flag and cancel israel as the nation state of the jewish people now it's clearer than ever that the nation state law is necessary we passed this law and we will uphold it saturday's protest was the second in as many weeks it saw tens of thousands of arabs and jews turnout in tel aviv they carried banners

in both hebrew and arabic appealing for democracy equality and for the law to be abolished some signs read resist apartheid the nation state law was passed last month it's similar to a constitutional amendment pretty much recognizes israel as the homeland of the jewish people it also underlines the quote unique right to self-determination but it also downgrades arabic to go from being an official language critics say the law not only undermines therefore fragile guarantees of equality in israel but it opens the door for open discrimination against non jews to. this law is trying to incite in the state a war between brothers a war between the jews and the arabs and we will not accept it we have lived together and we will die together in this land we are called for equal or full citizenship equal rights i mean division and on the national level. i'm not asking for a right i deserve to have these this is what i deserve a someone who lives in his country i'm not scared of anything but i fear that this

law being a basic law will drag out the last from which we will suffer discrimination be forced back door. and it's by you know this is the law is again to. be on a language. against our future in this land. real people of this land we can't agree for this law is our guest for the controversial legislation. this law actually doesn't change anything for the citizens of israel who does not discriminate or take any rights through and the law simply says that israel is a nation state of the jewish people it which has been long overdue and this law is a basic law and that means it's constitutional which means. apartheid state for jewish people only well i think that what you just heard is the

exact example of why we need it you have a person who is not an israeli citizen these bashing my country in israel all citizens are equal under the law the third biggest party in the parliament is their party what i find shocking is that people who condemn the bare existence of the state of israel in any border are saying that we are and they say which i think is just uphold this law says that this land is only for half of the population and the other half would be discriminated against it does not identify the borders of israel which means that this system of discrimination includes not only palestinians inside but also by the students in the west bank and those are sort of the right engine then scenario where sometimes people mistakenly called the west bank it's a you didn't run it's a jew free state as a jew not allowed to be there this law does nothing about you then scenario unfortunately for me with evil and israel a law in syria just doesn't touch it that's not true do you agree that we should have a palestinian state or not their family not but i think what we have come along using

is that you want another state but you also are you going on right israel telling me i can't have citizenship but he wants to continue to occupy my land and he says i cannot have a state and we cannot have a two state solution and yet he speaks that it is a democracy. on the debate goes on it's eighteen minutes past nine in the morning here in moscow a very good morning for me and the team still to come more on occasions against police in the u.s. for an officer is investigated over threats to shoot trespass is more coming up. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to be.

the two going to be pros this is what we're before three of four people. interested always in the waters in the. first sitting. here now this new attempt at a global unity of accountable the currents of big oil that will be controlled by people not any subtle government saw it as a chance to do what paul failed to do. the keys of the subtle bankers and they will the economists.

again if a police officer in the u.s. state of connecticut is going viral the footage shows an apparently threatening to shoot trust says. anybody wants to run. you know it could be that kind of money in order to shoot somebody not going to get well police there say that they are examining the nature of sergeant steven barone see interaction and then internal investigation they say has been opened regardless of the context or the intent those statements are entirely unacceptable and represent a fundamental disregard for the conduct we expect and the standards we hold ourselves to will look at it from the perspective of the person on the other end of the field interview and to hear those words isn't just scary it projects an image of law enforcement officers who take use of force lightly well a bit more about steven ronnie's been a police officer for ten years is not the first suspension apparently from duty two years ago he was present when a handcuff suspect was kicked but despite that he was later promoted to the

position of sergeant there's another thought on this former police officer dominick believes the police are being put in an impossible situation these days though. the problem is is that simply you get now we have this war on cops between the pilot police and the public and capture people filled with emotion and you're going to watch your you tube going to watch your car t.v. we're going to watch any news and news outlet out there and as a police officer who's a person you're going to be a motion to be triggered by what you see you know what is right you know what is wrong these men or women are taking this on the street and becoming highly emotional and they're sick of not being backed up they're sick of the media attacking them they're sick of the public being fed lies and believing lies and this is the end result of what's happening you're getting physical outburst you're getting verbal outbursts and you're getting people men or women who wear that badge not thinking and they're finally saying what they want and it's volatile it's not a good thing because it's going to be misconstrued and it's going to be used against them in the long run. germany's finance minister says don't trump's new

trade tariffs to damaging the economy and says he won't let washington dictate who it does business with the u.s. has already doubled steel and other many entire lives for its key nato ally turkey . the. teacher we will respond to the one declaring war trait to the whole world my aiming at new markets finding new corporations and allies. the e.u. has been slapped with hefty duties without a million tariffs a size twenty five percent but turkey's feeling the most heat when it comes to steel now facing a terrifying fifty percent international relations professor pieces shelves believes the u.s. is using trade as a foreign policy tool these days but he got mrs dyott off the trumpet ministration and his personal experiences in public affairs the russian are behind something he is trying to wage economic war against even against partnerships and by doing this

of. threatening them into a lawyer loyalty just a no or b.p.'s partnership dominated by as you know it's the i think that trump understands military means to save do not solve problems anymore you have to do it indirectly by by economic political of financial means and this is what this county is a not. think. this is a this is a policy we have to get answers for and i don't see it's a moment apart from the public appearances of europeans no read and so orchestra which. the final arguments in the fraud trial of donald trump's former campaign chairman paul manifold are expected to be heard this week among other accusations is how he allegedly acquired tens of millions of dollars from former ukrainian president viktor yushchenko which we spoken to which is lawyer about the case. when ukraine there will be no accusations or charges against poor man i thought the

party of the regions will present any coverage but it's a legal team received an official statement from the national antique russian bureau confirming this but so when the two years that we've been hearing about manifold investigation there's been no record of any crime committed on ukraine its soil no charges and no case we have no official documents that confirm this fact. royalists the stray rejoice that you know you can order your very own free portrait of the queen super all you have to do is contact your local m.p. and side up for the nation hood programs good feedback.

base price if you will shock waves in from a single trade i want some making a little bit. formally imagine that the second. her. little rousing note i'll say goodbye thanks for watching out international this morning i was more on a site. for the latest to mobile to watch. her .

play the problems. are low low. or. america was never great was founded on the rapes and murders. nothing changed so we said in. response to these situations that we're dealing with. people he is sad every day he is just sad people kill each other blood for killing children. there was just no way that people were going to just sit back and allow children to be shot down law enforcement. this country

doesn't work for us it doesn't function for us. this this can't be happening in america we call from the streets we've got to deal with life this is the reason i have to ride like this is the reason. time after time say we're going underground as workers in britain's unite union take strike action on total oil and gas platforms in the north sea coming up in the show that sexist henschel dilemma and was trump right to withdraw from the paris

climate deal just not for the reasons trump gave the world we investigate whether the deal was always too little too late and there's a bullet breaks out once again in one of the world's most resource rich countries we speak to the director of this is congo about a history of cia backed coups corruption and colonialism plus there's a new report from the british crown prosecution service finds that charges but modern slavery offenses have risen by more than a quarter in the last year we speak to the bishop of darby dr alice to read first who leads initiatives to fight human trafficking all this the more coming up in today's going underground but first while major nation mainstream media continue to pump out anti my dura rhetoric against the country with the largest known reserves of oil in the world venezuela workers from britain's biggest trade union to be in charge will to take action in the north sea against the company this man leads you can look the purported ticks out of orlando as the pumping of seventy thousand barrels of oil a day has been threatened in the north seas alwynne dunbar an elegant platform as

part of a dispute about pay this while fatah was eclipsed b.p. and chevron in net profits for the third consecutive quarter but as fossil fuel companies fight workers while continuing to prosper and exert influence over democratically elected politicians like they've always done international debate over climate change is now itself arguably changed he is the leader of the so-called free world families talking about for all of this with the global warming and that it a lot of it's a hoax it's a hoax i mean it's a money making industry ok it's a hoax. it has tweeted climate change skepticism at least one hundred fifteen times including a claim that the concept of global warming was created by and for the chinese in fairness to the us president he then denied i do not say that and i think i do know that well you denied that before pulling out of the paris climate change accords and this is how russian president vladimir putin reacted to trump's withdrawal of the paris treaties a very probably good document which is aimed at rizzoli one of the global problems

of the current times in order to deter the climatic changes now the issue is whether we are in a position to. not allow climate change who's in there backing the paris climate deal while appearing to express some doubts about its effectiveness well joining me now via skype from louds island in maine is professor katherine richards and co-author of trajectories of the earth system in the anthropocene published in the proceedings of the u.s. national academy of sciences in the past few days professor richardson thanks so much for coming on the program to just explain risks that would still exist even if the world abided by the paris agreement on a two degree centigrade rise in temperature well what we did is we sort of said well listen it's nice that politicians have decided that the earth will be two degrees warmer than it was in the pre-industrial and sort of assume that it'll just stay at that temperature who's a back at the earth's history and it turns out it's never had a stable period of long a long period where the temperature was stable at about two degrees above

pre-industrial so what that told us is that there may be other processes in the earth's system that when you get to be two degrees warmer could keep pushing the temperature up until you got around four to five degrees as has happened in the past so we started searching for those processes and we didn't identify anything new all of these processes have been identified before but we looked at was the interactions between these processes we're talking processes like the melting of ice the melting of permafrost the changing biological conditions in the ocean the changing chemistry of the ocean and then we're talking tipping points as well the melting of the greenland c.i.s. the the or the arctic sea ice and the greenland ice sheet the changing of the gulf stream all those sorts of tipping points that we've talked about and we look at how they might be related to each other the interactions between all of these different processes and it really looks like you might be able to set up a a sort of

a cascade that's what happens in the in the earth system where it's where it's almost like a row of dominoes as children we put we put dominoes up on there and we pushed. the first one and down they all went and it's like one of these processes could get to the point it pushes the next one in the next one and the next one and once you get into a chain reaction like that it's just like a nuclear reaction you can't stop it underway so the really important thing for humanity is to make sure we don't get to a point where those that chain reaction could could actually be started and two degrees would be the tipping point you suggest from looking at the history of the earth it looks like it's it might be somewhere around two degrees so two degrees might be fine but even better if we could if we could actually achieve the goals of the paris agreement which is that we hold human caused climate or global warming to

well below two degrees so we're not saying anything against the paris agreement quite the contrary i think the paris agreement is is incredibly exciting because it represents a a first attempt to try and manage our resources at the at the global level and and our ancestors i guess when they stopped hunting for their food and started living at a at a fixed address at first that let their ways just fall and they took whatever they thought they needed and then they realized for their own sakes they needed to manage their relationship with nature at the local level now we can see we're impacting the earth at the global level so for our own sakes we need to manage our relationship with the planet as a whole. you seem to be importing political cooperation there not so much. looking particularly have every ventral extrapolation really because it was in this paper when the dominoes fall we're talking a forty five degree rise in temperature with sea levels reacting between ten to

sixty meters. now that's that's that would be the situation if this chain reaction got started then we believe we would end in. a situation where the earth was what we call hothouse earth which is four to five degrees warmer and that would not only mean ten to sixty meters of sea level rise it would also mean heat waves like you can't imagine the areas of the up the earth where humans would be unable to live and certainly very much changed and reduced area where we could produce food massive storms wildfires people moving away from regions where they they can't produce food or can't survive the temperatures though potential political conflicts it would also the the animals and the plants that we know today many of them would go extinct so it would be an entirely entirely different world than the one we know if we did actually go to a hot house and and just to be clear this is not like these things you hear on

mainstream media a lot of a dime analysis of data as in say the nineteenth century you really are really looking at ice sheets and data that going on now in light of what we're trying to do is understand the earth as a system as a complex system and analyze its behavior as a complex system and when i talk about a system if you think about your body if you had your head in your study it you know everything about your head or your hands or your feet or your heart or your brain you still can't predict the emergent properties when you put them all together in other things than in other other words the new things that are going to happen if you put it all together like we can walk and talk and all that sort of stuff and it's a little bit the same with that with the earth we've understood all these different processes on their own but what happens when you put them together in a system of context and look how they affect each other i know professor hands schellnhuber is a co or for i mean one thing we do know definitely is there's going to be another

ice age but no sign i know he's done work on it no sign that the an imminent ice age could save us from this even from the tipping. point of the first moment of well actually to be perfectly honest there are some signs that we may have some some scientific reports and there's not consensus on this all the way around but there are scientific reports suggesting that we have just a bird hood the next ice age that because we have warmed the planet as much as we have already the world was cooling now it's warming age so i think it's probably a little optimistic to sit back and wait for an ice age to solve this problem for us i think we're going to have to take the bull by the horns as well as a all those different dominoes there's an argument in the paper very improved forest agricultural and soil management when when it comes to management you say you are dealing with something clearly political in terms of the solution of it's not something that can be put together easily with

a big fossil fuel lobby advising some politicians no i mean you're right and it's very difficult as scientists and we don't try and tell the politicians or society what it should do what we try to do here is to is to argue that we need to we need to think of our role in the system as a whole and manage our feedbacks within the system and then we try to identify a kind of tool box that that society politicians who ever has at their disposal in order to be able to do this management there are lots and lots of different activities that we could have changing our behavior changing our diets there's many things that are possible as tools here and there's no one single bullet technology is not going to save us here it's going to help us but it's not going to save us so politicians society whomever is going to have to have to choose a bouquet of these tools in order to be able to contribute to this management of

our resources at the global level and that we privatise don't say what they should do but it just finally then. on the. thinking of the ethical lipstick elements of the paper and in terms of the last domino going can you think of another time now especially the climate change skeptics seem to be to the fore arguably because of trampling out of the deal can you think of a time when elites would seek to profit at the expense of their great grandchildren in terms of profits today because obviously they're big forces against the kind of science you're doing in this paper well to prefer to be honest i don't think there are as many big forces as as as media makes it look like i mean they're beginning to the opposition and there will always be folk that don't understand and people that don't want to believe this we have people that believe that you know the there's going to a crisis coming the world's going to end next week and you know i mean there are

all the fortunately there are people with all sorts of beliefs i i don't think we should be stopping putting you know stopping people getting being able to say what they think but they get an awful lot of focus on this pushback and i don't in my everyday life i don't mean it as being as great as as you're making it out to be here i honestly sees a very positive movement going in the right direction look at the paris agreement look at the un sustainable development goals look at the way companies are taking these these issues on board large major multinational companies so you know i i really believe this is a a train that is running it's not going fast enough yet we have our backs against the wall on a knife that are of throats but but i work best under pressure i think most people do and i'm i'm i'm i'm hoping i'm believing i do believe that humanity does as well

reza governor ridge is a vacuum. after the break but yet this is america we speak to the director of this is congo about the years of western backed shadow wars that have torn the country apart and there's new figures show that one hundred eighty five modern slavery and human trafficking convictions be made in the past year alone in the u.k. we speak to the bishop of darby about how he's leading the fight against modern slavery both locally and nationally all the civil coming up but to have going underground. join me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics or business i'm showbiz.
