blower retaliation complaint and his attorneys are pointing out kind of an interesting chain of events this is what his attorney has to say jim baker the director kip hope was contracts very close to the vest and nobody seemed to have any idea what he was doing time he contracted out a good chunk of it. he composed them all and then collect the balance as he. is it possible that adam a lot of injure was fired simply for asking about the money that was going to step on help or in these contracts that these allegations are being raised there's a lot of talk about when is it proper to strip someone of their security clearance and why does it not it indicates that there seems to be quite a bit of disagreement within the halls of power in the united states as we head up to the midterm congressional elections. for the protests have erupted in the gaza strip demanding a return to what they call their homeland in israel the crowds can be seen despite

a large amount of spoken to the gas here of the great march of return on the israeli gaza border did start back in march and up to one hundred seventy civilians have been killed since israel says that hamas which it regards as a terrorist organization is behind these demonstrations using them as cover for illicit activities. of palestinian journalists has been arrested by the israeli defense forces for filming soldiers and allegedly inciting violence. live streamed to videos on facebook of israeli soldiers operating in ramallah filming i.d.f. soldiers though it is illegal in israel filming an officer with intent to undermine the spirit of the army is punishable by up to five years in jail the i.d.f. adds that they arrested was inciting violence against the state of israel and also the army gaza based reporter he has more to tell us a palestinian journalist has been everest it for filming i.d.f. soldiers israeli forces raid it is just. the day after he lost you videos on his

facebook page of the i.d.f. drawing up a plan of a palestinian home a procedure typically done before demolishing the building the man filmed and edited videos of idea of troops during the course of their operational activities while encouraging violence towards them and incited attacks directed at the state of israel and i.d.f. troops. and we were sleeping when we heard a knock at the door in the middle of the night we woke up and opened the door they told us their soldiers they asked me whose house is it i said it's muhammad ali's then they asked who lives upstairs i said it's. so they went upstairs and arrested him he told me mom don't be afraid i hope i won't stay there for long she's not guilty i'm sure he's not we went to the court and they told us they were prolong his detention dar ali is a well known palestinian journalist working as a correspondent for the palestine broadcasting corporation the agency is calling

for the immediate release of a chip or two and say israel is targeting the palestine media these measures are intended to silence the palestinian voice and in the pictures so that israel can commit its crimes without any noise is the latest in a number of journalists are busted in palestine within the past two weeks. meanwhile a palestinian rapper m.c. has risen to fame after filming a music video during the great march return he dedicated the song to his friend a journalist killed during that much. well. we. know. just where. we go.

in the world. because most world. might. just see. my music. it's. now a new case of police brutality has made the headlines this time involving an eighty seven year old woman he was cutting flowers she was tasered by officers in the u.s. state of georgia. she got shot like we have never really told her about stun guns or tasers and so she doesn't know what that is when she realized what happened she is touching her heart syrian born right here was cutting down the lines near an after school club after the across the street from my home the facilities employees though called the police reporting that the woman was carrying a knife the officers were then sent to the scene and tried to persuade her to drop

the knife when she failed to respond they tasered her she was arrested and charged with trespassing and approaching officers relatives of the woman who say she doesn't speak english and suffers from dementia and therefore she didn't understand the police commands to drop the knife nevertheless officers say they followed procedure. put yourself. in actually. trying to make her understand she continued war he was deployed well several other recent police incidents have throat controversy too just a word of warning though you might find the following footage disturbing.

the russian embassy in the u.s. has accused the local authorities of subjecting jailed russian gun activist mary bluett to cruel and inhumane treatment including strip searches is under arrest on charges of being a russian agent which was quickly mean interpreted by much of the western media as her being a spy russia's compared the situation to the witch trials of the seventeenth century well after russian diplomats visited maria in prison on thursday they discovered her health had deteriorated demanding the u.s. state department stop psychologically pressuring and humiliating her and she's still a suspect not a convict. reports. maria was taken into custody about

a month ago accused of acting as a russian agent and quote developing relationships with u.s. persons and infiltrating organizations having influence in american politics now if she's convicted she could face up to fifteen years in prison and now the russian embassy has issued a statement comparing it to the salem witch trials and accusing us of dorothy's of subjecting her to cruel and inhumane treatment including night checks every fifteen minutes something that's only done to prisoners who have a history of suicide strip searches after visits she's being denied medical care she had a swelling on her leg as a result of cold temperatures in her cell and she's only been given pain killers now she's walking with a limp she's also not allowed outdoor walks and she can't receive any letters in russian apparently because they might contain coded messages for some background after she pled not guilty if she was denied bail and her attorney thinks her nationality might have had something to do with it i am hesitating to say it's completely apolitical we think it's hard to imagine

a national in another country would be treated the same way they were a little bit of a russian phobic time here in the country the media might be using language like spy in but her lawyer says that those words can't be found in any legal documents and that she's never done any military related work and there was no classified information involved now to sum it all up she's basically been accused of lobbying and somehow the u.s. sees it as connected to russia gate she's also accused of trading sex for influence but there's been no evidence at all to substantiate those claims but what's interesting about her is that she's always supported approving u.s. russia relations and she's pretty open about this it also should be noted that she was arrested hours after the trumpeting summit in helsinki but now she's waiting for trial the date of which is still unknown but what we do know is that the next technical hearing is scheduled for september tenth but most evidence against her is . still classified so we're just going to have to wait and see how this case

unfolds. american now let's get the thoughts now of dan kadlec he's a human rights lawyer and he joins us and you very welcome dan from your perspective do you think the treatment of maria. is justified in any way by the authorities no in fact i think it's a violent how she's being treated is a violation of both the u.s. law or the u.s. constitution which forbids cruel and unusual punishment in also violates international law clearly she's being subjected to sleep deprivation being woken up every fifteen minutes she's been. subjected to strip searches after visits. none of these things are justified these are clearly designed to put pressure on her to subject her to emotional distress and i think people should be very upset about ultimately very by carrying out this sort of treatment what would they be

hoping to achieve it you say they hope to break a but for what gain. well it could be one of a couple reasons i mean one it could be that it is intended that they actually think she did something wrong and they want her to admit it or to give her more information or to roll on somebody else or frankly the other option is just sadistic that because of this and i russian sentiment they have someone in their captivity that they have power over and they're using it to torture her essentially . that's what i think very well could be russian authorities or the russian embassy now is trying to take up this case with the american authorities to think they'll have any joy do you think anything will change. i fear not me and i do think that there are so much anti russian sentiment because while she is not being accused of being a spy that really is how it's being played in the media and so i'm not sure she's

going to get much of an audience in washington for concerns. she may have to go to an international body for that if what you say than it is correct and laws are being broken in the way that she's been treated isn't she protected in any way then in the united states from this sort of thing from happening theoretically but you know i actually do some christian or rights cases pro bono and you learn that while there are laws on the books to protect people it's very difficult to win those cases they can take a lot of time even if you do when the fact is a lot of mischief can be done before or if ever the harm being done to earth correct that i don't know if you can answer this one down but i mean the suspicion here certainly in russia about the timing of her arrest just after the trump summit do you have any thoughts on that you know well clearly there's people in washington

who want to be rail any chances of a detente with russia and i think the timing asked to be taken into account and it may be some indication of a political motive to do just what i said to make it impossible for the two countries to reach some sort of you know peace with one more ok dan look good to talk to leave it there was dan kadlec care human rights lawyer in the u.s. thank you thank you. the chinese passenger plane skidded off the runway were trying to land at another airport in the philippines one of the passengers impacted film what happened from inside. all one hundred fifty seven passengers and crew on board the boeing seven three seven now were unharmed luckily in the incident during the landing want to be

engines you can see i was ripped from the plane's wing the region is currently in the grip of tight things season which is causing major disruptions to fly. well this incident follows an unusual day of activity in the skies with a number of flights being forced to make emergency route changes in south america too after a series of bomb threats nine flights were diverted across chilean arjan time and peruvian air space and this is video showing motions the service is rushing to one of those planes at the airport in pisco in peru all of the planes there have been checked we're told and declared free of explosives also on thursday two greek air force fighter jets intercepted and escorted a german passenger plane that was redirected to the island of crete after the pilot reported possible explosives on board. now the wedding of a country's foreign minister wouldn't normally generate many headlines but it does seem that's not the case if

a certain vladimir putin is on the guest list and that is precisely what is happening in austria on saturday and not everybody is happy about it is peter oliver reports president vladimir putin will be the guest of honor at the wedding of austrian foreign minister. and businessman wolfgang milingo at the luxury venue that they'll be getting married up just to the south of garth's in austria president putin is expected to arrive by plane early morning on saturday he'll be then traveling by helicopter to the place where the wedding is taking place there is talk of a carriage ride also going on but i think that might be more for the happy couple and not something that mr putin will be taking part in from the austrian side they've confirmed that the usual security protocol will be in place for the arrival of guests store a visitor of the stature of the russian president but it his arrival and his saying is acceptance of the invitation has provoked a controversial reaction

a lot of the press across austria and across europe saying what does this mean of putin's extended an invitation to the wedding of a cabinet member of an e.u. nation well what we've seen for in reaction terms is from the head chef of the place where the events taking place well he says he wants a selfie with the russian president however we've also heard from a green party m.e.p. in austria saying that the fact that mrs mills can a cell invited vladimir putin in the first place means that she needs to step down from her position and the foreign ministry for mr nice will bears responsibility for this and should in order to avert any bad consequences for austria immediately resign if she does not do so voluntarily chancellor because should today suggest to the president that he sack been confirmed that the invite was six. standard back in june while vladimir putin was on a visit to vienna he's making this is part of a stop off on route here to lynn for an important meeting with german chancellor

angela merkel it's rare social appearance though from vladimir putin in western europe in recent times since twenty fourteen and since relations between the west and russia took a downturn over the ongoing situation in ukraine we haven't seen much of them coming to places like austria like germany in fact on social visits that the austrian foreign ministry of says that this is clearly and should private visit. you know journalists in attendance that will be no politics discussed that's sometimes easier said than done especially when austrian chancellor. is also on the invite list almost certainly he will meet with vladimir putin at some point during the wedding it's unknown of course what they will be discussing there but when it comes to relate the relationship between austria and russia it's certainly been far warmer than most other western european nations in fact

a real look at the script file poisoning case just recently vienna was one of the few russian capitals not to expel any russian diplomats over that but while it's certainly a private affair while vladimir putin is in austria at this wedding it's very much a business affair later in the day for him it's unlikely we're going to see any pictures from that wedding of lot of me appeared on the dance floor beginning into the night because around six pm he's due to be here in berlin where he'll be meeting with german chancellor angela merkel and. it's all over there now it has been a month since the final whistle was blown on the world cup here in russia but the memories are still vivid for one football fan he did manage to attend the games and stay in the country for free he's now released a video showing how he did it. you know it's a little a little. bit to be.

free. we're told that russia could be. we going to three in the morning that box is a couple of meat and it was pretty low heard. so i want to bring you the soviet nuclear war. i. elvis enjoyed it in the we caught up with him and he said his months in russia there wasn't just about the 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 an unbelievable amount of friends whether they be russian or foreigners and then there was the whole project was meant to sort of prove this idea that football is this extremely powerful tool in creating human connections and can really cut beyond the sort of divisive political narratives that we experience in the media and really through this tool of football we actually have this passport anational tournament to meet people from all over the world and actually do some incredible things 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 occurred around the hooliganism situation and so it 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 and wouldn't accept any money for it it was there was there was almost a sort of national fervor. to actually be as welcoming is humanly possible this tournament always give us access to thirteen of the eleven of the cities and one third of the country you know and i'm still very curious to see

a bloody dog and there was the birth or a ton of the regions across the country that sort of still remain a mystery to me it wasn't necessarily cities like st petersburg and moscow or sochi that really surprised me it was it was more my experiences and some are terran burge cities 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. that finally border fences are generally used to keep people out but in denmark it's now back and critics are not squealing with delight.

well known wild boar love the water out of good swimmers. when the friends there we can just add a few metres to the height so can keep not only german wild boars out but also asylum seekers and those chaunce in their log regardless of how the fence is set up along the strengthen border control and it just. so that's how things are looking so far this evening we're back with more as usual and how.

welcome to sophie shevardnadze haiti battered 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 asked. 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. but relations of corruption and abuse by u.n. and aid workers has the image of the charitable organizations been tainted for good

. government expelled the good from the country altogether and coming to terms of its problems. is really down 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 ochs an employee singing sexual exploitation in the country the haitian government has suspended the work of the u.k. charity awesome has apologized started investigation and fired those as false or 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 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 stick 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 we 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 comes in with a director who has been recycled in different other n.g.o.s

as a sexual immoral person and 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 give. their savior is yes and this is not just oxfam we have the un doing the same thing so you have to talk 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 hurt this is not about oxfam this is about the underage children who were you by this in geo who are now being blared about 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 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 you have talked in tongues i know i know and 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 this encounters have been voluntary so locals may have a role in this too 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 an 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 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 philanthropists and human human new man a tarion 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 lifted crisis when everything has fallen down so so no i reject the idea that the the haitian women and men who 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 united nations lent its uniforms to this occupation.
