aware of any students being disciplined for such behavior but marianna says the teacher shouted out and then marianna reportedly left the classroom. discuss the issue with. missouri republican and richard goodstein advisor to the hillary clinton presidential campaign. football is about football schools about school and if you have a protest protest in a constructive way this girl can write letters to the editor she can arrange a little march but protesting in your classroom to irritate your classmate mates and virtue signal and that's what she's being taught mom's teaching her mom is so proud that her daughter is virtue signaling that she cares more than anybody else and i actually find that to make no sense when you get arrested disproportionately when you get shot disproportionately when you get put in jail just proportionally that's not just annoying that's totally ruining your life so the fact you're taking
8:32 am
to the streets is not merely disruptive you're trying to make a point in less you have a goal and something that you actually have a path to accomplish then you're just disrupting you're just being an antagonist to your fellow athletes or the fans or in this case to her classmates what does she want what's going to make her stand peace on earth and you know will we ever get to the point where there's no discrimination no there are bigoted people let's stipulate that there are people who are bigoted they will be bigoted forever donald trump is giving them a voice but the fact of the matter is it's not to say it's wrong for them to basically stand up for what they believe in that's what this little girl was doing that's all why if a politician's getting involved in this walk and we just said i. asked him perhaps n.f.l. people to protest if they want to why is it such a big deal politically the democratic party the united states gets their power on dividing people and separating us versus them there's class warfare gender warfare
8:33 am
they want to show that everybody's got a reason for injustice and they need to vote democrat to war in order to fix it and that's all this is it's just it's pure politics. and hillary hillary clinton got millions more votes than donald trump did and her campaign theme was being together not dividing people she was a. mocking handicapped people she wasn't telling punch him in the draw i don't pay your legal bills that's not what her team was thirteen was about bringing people together and she got millions had forgotten that john i'm sorry is the voters actually disagreed with you. about journalist has been arrested by the israeli defense forces for filming soldiers and allegedly inciting violence. lifestream two videos on facebook of israeli soldiers operating in ramallah now filming i.d.f. soldiers is illegal and israel filming an officer with the intent of quote undermining the spirit of the army is punishable by up to five years in prison the

8:38 am
crazy conspiracy they're all. forget about the back of the bus is. because we want rush. wonder bread and. that. this is. a fresh case of police brutality making headlines this time involving an eighty seven year old woman and she was tasered by police in the us state of georgia while she was cutting. does she got shot like we have never really told her about stun guns or tazers and so she doesn't know what that is when she. realized what had been touching her heart syrian border was cutting dandelions near an off
8:39 am
the school club across the street from her home at the facilities employees called the police reporting that the woman was carrying a knife three officers were sent to the scene and tried to persuade aldershot to drop the knife when she failed to respond they tell you that she was arrested and charged with trespassing and obstructing offices all relatives of the woman say she doesn't speak english and she has dementia therefore she didn't understand police come ons to drop the knife nevertheless the officers say they did follow procedure . put myself in the looks of now and then actually to put it down to adultery i'm trying to make you understand she continued walking it was tough for days and i several other recent police incidents of also stalked controversy a warning you may find the following clips to stopping.
8:40 am
i. jonathan ross and an activist and community leader in the city of minneapolis thinks the police could have avoided using the. he's had ample . opportunities to maybe deescalate the situation versus tasing this woman and we know with a. i think there was an article with the heart association that if you do direct the taser people in the chest that there are chances that you could get cardiac arrest these manners of force or use the pine. you know human beings and in
8:41 am
situations where it's not even it's not even justifiable for example if the lady was cutting dandelions for south so. the fact that no one went out there just trying to see what she was doing or maybe even guide or what they call when in that moment with that night and in that saying that maybe there's a possibility that she did you know possibly stop the from dementia or suffer from a mental illness that letter to you know but then you line from rock private property or public that. the u.s. secretary of state by punk peo has film a special group that will coordinate washington's policy on iran as it continues to pressure the country with sanctions and the head of a new group brian hook says the u.s. is prepared to punish any country that does trade with iran and our sanctions regime yes we will we are prepared to impose secondary sanctions on regimes i'm
8:42 am
sorry on on other governments. the continue the sort of trade with iran or those sanctions will come into effect on november fifth those will include sanctions on iran's energy sector transactions by foreign financial institutions with the central bank of iran iran shipping in shipbuilding sectors among others. well the first round of a new and here on sanctions were an act of earlier this month after trump announced the u.s. is withdraw from the iran nuclear deal the sanctions prohibit iran from using the dollar and restricts trading of precious metals it also limits iranian currency flows as well as imposing constraints on the automotive industry the u.s. move there was widely opposed by european countries. former advisor to iran's nuclear negotiating team says the u.s. is lacking broad support for its measures against tehran the united states unilaterally and we illegally reinforced sanctions that have been lifted by the
8:43 am
international community he. says he will be removed in. two thousand and fifteen so the question is how can the u.s. just. pull right rationalization would these sanctions that don't have the backing of the international community if the u.s. . allies in europe in particular but also in asia and they will distort international trade and they will not gain iran's calm pliant. it has been a month since the free world cup in russia but the memories are certainly still fresh over three million it went to the matches but over half of them being foreigners now when italian supporter and sports editor has released a video showing how we joined the greatest show on earth for free. you know if
8:44 am
they believe that it did she. should be. getting. a free. bird called the rush to be deeply and from the time we got to three in the morning i bought this house that met the couple conversations on the internet and look for the press. so i went to. the soviet nuclear warheads. yet. and we spoke to the man you saw on the video and told us that the month he spent in
8:45 am
russia was not all about football. it was so much more than just sort of attending the matches it was it was really this experience of a month of making unbelievable amount of friends whether they be russian or foreigners and then there was the whole project was meant to prove this idea that football is this extremely powerful tool in creating who can act and can really cut beyond the sort of divisive political narrative that we are experiencing and really through this tool of football we actually had this passport and international trying to me to meet people from all over the world and i actually just incredible thing was most interesting was the fact that russians themselves the average citizen you know the normal football fan was really galvanized by this idea and this sort of negative press that heard around that we can as situation and sort of became an instance of people sort of you know stopping me on the street of my shoe who was untied if i was lost somewhere they would give me a ride to the place that wouldn't accept any money for it it was it was it was
8:46 am
almost a sort of national for to actually be as welcoming is humanly possible this tournament always gave us access to thirteen of the eleven of the cities and one third of the country you know i'm still very curious to see a bloody full stop when there was the birth or a ton of the regions across the country that would still remain a mystery to me it wasn't like st petersburg and moscow i was showed you that that really surprised me more my experiences and some are yet to tear a birth city that i would never likely gone to if it wasn't for this tournament but actually i discovered were incredibly interesting and unique in their own ways. and finally here on the program border fences are generally used to keep people out but denmark is building a new border fence not to keep people out but to keep its animals in the idea has already been hijacked by some politicians.
8:47 am
well known while for love of the water and not a good swimmer. on the plains to say we can just add a few metres to the height so can keep not only germany one hundred floors out but also asylum seekers and those chancing their law regardless of how the fence is set up will only strengthen border control and it is clear.
8:48 am
thanks for joining us here at r.t. international we talk more and we're back and often are. thanks lisa.
8:49 am
one else chose the same wrong one old role just don't hold. any old yet to shape our disdain because that's ok and in gauge equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling class is to protect themselves. with the fine larry go around. the room sit. in the. room.
8:50 am
welcome to sophie shevardnadze haiti better by natural disasters is reeling from a scandal around the revelations of abuse by international aid workers how will it affect the humanitarian efforts of n.g.o.s and the u.n. in the country well i ask. human rights lawyer. haiti a country that is still recovering from earthquakes and hurricanes while coping with rampant poverty and a drastic lack of infrastructure destroyed sympathy from across the globe with n.g.o.s and u.n. agencies rushing to help the better nation but with relations of corruption and
8:51 am
abuse by u.n. and aid workers has the image of a charitable organizations been tainted for good. government expelled groups from the country altogether and can in turn those problems all alone if they need them to haitian human rights lawyer welcome it's really great to have you on our program lots to talk about now the latest scandal in haiti's over oxfam employees saying aging sexual exploitation is in the country the haitian government has suspended the work of the u.k. . charity awesome has apologized charge investigation and fired those responsible are responsible what more could they do right now well. i think oxfam is just sort of the symptom of the problem because haiti's under occupation and these n.g.o.s are there masturbating on this pain that has been imposed upon us because of imperialism what else could they do they could actually leave
8:52 am
haiti. ok we're going to go actually case by case but because some is the latest case i'd like to focus on that in the beginning i mean totally takes one scandal to ruin the reputation of a charity accusation stake and people start thinking that the whole organization is one after the scandal broke out some c.e.o. said that everything they're going to zation try to say or do just fuel the fire of public opinion it's like no matter what they say it won't come out right do they really deserve to be battered further well yes we're talking about children we're talking about post earthquake i mean look at the situation sophie we're talking about two thousand and ten the catastrophic politike earthquake that killed over three hundred and ten thousand haitians that made over two million haitians homeless and then you have this army of n.g.o.s coming in and that's where oxfam
8:53 am
comes in with a director who has been recycled in different other n.g.o.s. as a sexual immoral person and me he's actually. he was in liberia and fired by a british in geo in liberia in two thousand and four this role in person. and then he was recently and he was recruited by. and he had what they say i mean it's so nasty what he was doing callignee less sex that's beastie ality that's orgies with people who have lost everything and are looking at these charitable organizations as. their savior come to help. the savior is yes and this is not just oxfam we have the un doing the same thing so you have to talk
8:54 am
a lot of enters coming in and we don't talk about the u.n. further down in our interview so only the u.k. division of oxfam has been banned other oxfam workers are still in haiti does that mean that the country actually needs oxen here or just found a temporary scapegoat in the u.k. division we haitians have not been heard this is not about oxfam this is about the underage children who were you by this in geo who are now being blared about it in headlines as prostitutes what happens when you're fifteen years old and your mother just died five of your brothers just died. instead of helping you with the donation dollars that's paying this man salary that's been given by citizens of the world who care about what happened this crisis this me and
8:55 am
held. orgy sex with animals with these children what can happen to them i'm a human rights lawyer who spent the last twenty four years of my life since one thousand nine hundred ninety four exposing that the charitable industrial complex and the military industrial complex are about colonialism that there in haiti as a smokescreen wildly western corporatocracy takes our resources out so you know if you're talking to a haitian would. and yet i thought in tongues i can you know i know when it's very emotional i mean i do realize that but me as a journalist i need to make sure that i cover all sides so bear with me because i'm going to have to ask you this question but i need your answers guardian wrote that sure pay more money to sex workers a lot more than the locals i know it sounds gross but in some way could there could these encounters have been voluntary so locals may have
8:56 am
a role in this to not just oxfam could that be a possibility as well while. oxfam is in geo which is a non-governmental organization which is given its accreditation by the united nations the united nation has a policy against having sex with your beneficiaries so does oxfam and so we're talking about a situation where you're asking me. who is it you know is the victim and we talk about under-age soaks here this man that we're talking about roland has a history of having sex in place is paid by donation dollars as the ox you know he started out in liberia and he was dismissed for having sex with local people including under-age children and you know as a lawyer as
8:57 am
a human rights lawyer i'm actually concerned sex with underage children is pedophilia it's a crime we're not talking about. anything else. yes there is prostitution but as you know whenever a military comes into a space the level of sexual abuse and prostitution goes up at least fifteen percent is that really what the u.n. and the ngos are supposed to be doing in haiti aren't they supposed to be fiduciaries that are given this position as philanthropist and human to human new manager terry and to choose not to bring up the level of prostitutions in haiti but to to to to help haiti developed to provide help at a time of crisis i mean and africa lift to crisis when everything has fallen down so so no i reject the idea that the the haitian women and men who
8:58 am
were victims of oxfam. are to blame for any of what happened with regards to that because you're talking about a differential in power and we're talking about underage girls and we talking about underage girls or underage boys we're talking about a crime that age in haiti is eighteen for maturity so although the media waltzes wants to make these under-age children prostitutes who really is the whore here who really is the criminal here so haitian parliament has learned that the majority of abuse cases don't get reported oxfam actually has the reporting requirements in place their stats are transparent other agencies don't have those requirements so do you have any information about their transgressions you know i head the free haiti movement which i founded in two thousand and four when the
8:59 am
united nations lent its uniforms to this occupation. where its disuse monetary and from is covering up the corporate plunder of haiti's riches i had something called the haitian lawyers leadership network which i founded in one nine hundred ninety four twenty four years ago and the purpose was to institutionalize the rule of law and to protect and defend the cultural human economic rights of haitians living at home you know broad now the question you're asking me is. is there reporting requirement with regards to the n.g.o.s and what they're doing in haiti the ngos do whatever they want in haiti remember there's a level of racism and a level of when you're under occupation and these n.g.o.s come in they're making so much more money than let's say a haitian lawyer in haiti a native haitian lawyer in haiti who is going to fight on behalf of let's say the
9:00 am
victims. so you're talking about a disparity of power you're talking about this idea that these these white folks like oxfam's director who was who was. fired and the other i think they fired oxfam fired three executive and another for. me they let them resigned they let three resign and then they fired for gross misconduct three so but they never reported to the haitian government that says it's a crime to to have sex with minors they never reported that so they concealed it and they continued to conceal what was going on up until now eight years later we hear about it. when take a short break right now and when we're back we'll continue talking to as many down to human rights lawyer discussing the humanitarian mission.
