similar than the sudden it happened back in twenty sixteen similar case this time over in sweden let me tell you that was when a twenty four year old muslim woman refused to shake a male interviewers and when she got to go for a job interview the meeting and in fact was brutally terminated when that didn't happen however the lady's name for one thousands in compensation when sweden's labor court ruled that amounted to discrimination the instant split social media two i've warned about this for years the immigrate into our countries and refuse to integrate and then use our laws against us to impose their religious laws they shouldn't come to a country and expect everything there to change according to what they want or don't want to do if you come to a country you should respect their culture it is racist it's common sense. this isn't a law this is just a customary procedure she's not obliged to follow a custom that's against her and we just believe you don't have an argument. that
11:31 am
you can't force anyone to touch someone if they don't want to she wasn't brought the employee it was rude they would go reaction both for and against the swedish case. you see if you're an employer in sweden like the guy who wanted to recruit a young interpreter and at interview this girl refuses to shake hands she has difficulties to talk to him because he's a man because of our culture that doesn't work this guy doesn't fire her does not hire her and because of that he's a blanche to pay four thousand euro to that girl one the swedes here that they say no on off out here they have the lady in sweden smiled and made this question we have to know that even muslims should also add to their habits to the customs of the country they're living under shaking hands a suggestion of respect let's do with it but if someone is not shaking the hand but on the other side showing me that he's respecting me he's he's smiling in my face
11:32 am
peace he's making against child like me it's not like this will ever what always also take the tension of this discussion away and try to find a way how we could deal respectfully with each other except in each other talking future other and maybe trying to change some of these things in positively manner while they should stop talking about perspective when they come to europe they have respect they have had respect for all the time but they should stop trying to influence society to attain what their bigotry insists is absolutely necessary you should adapt muslims should adapt they have adapted for decades this form of islam is not welcome in europe that's the perception of citizens and it's not only populists i think it's something like seventy or eighty percent of the population who believes that you know there are some values these values that are space that
11:33 am
have the freedom of speech the freedom of for changing their faith the freedom to talk to have my own decision how i live but also the freedom of being. even on the freedom of faith sort this out of values that are in europe we should be proud of it and we should fight to keep them and not accept think anybody who is going to war and make any and dangerous for values and our democracy this issue with this young woman refusing to shake hands with a man this is so very much happening everywhere and it's not emotional the way europeans react this cannot continue like that either they adapt and the accept the way we live and date live with us and shake hands like everybody else or us they can go back to that country and the problem is look at saying do on back to their countries and he can't just imagine that's what's thems are your opinions and they're living here maybe in the third or fourth generation so stop to talk to us
11:34 am
live this way go back to the captors all the comforts of our first club face we've been hell come to could be belgium a could be great britain. in the war ravaged iraqi city of mosul locals are slowly returning since islamic state was defeated but many painful memory still sue survived all those horrors of war. there this is the house the home we used to live in when i lost a child a daughter aged seventeen years old during the time of i salute the patient we lived in dread and fear no one was free to move no children were allowed to step outside the house they were frightened.
11:35 am
and the operations to liberate the city we were under heavy shelling so my do. it would not go out without her younger sister for two days they would go out and come back together a monday the seventeenth of april twenty seventh jane the younger sister told the other one to go alone and she couldn't come with her when she left she was hit by mortar shell. i approached her and found covered in smoke and gunpowder from the explosion my relatives took her to the hospital but the nearest one turned out to be a hospital and the ice will control. told my relatives either take her back to die or they could only shoot it and her life she stayed there without any treatment until she died the relatives brought
11:36 am
her back from the hospital washed her body and took her to her final resting place at the local mosque. in another sad sad story from a. war ravaged place that has art international i'm going to stay with me for at least the next ten minutes or so as a news bulletin continues after the break and it will be asking more future for greece now that it's finally out of its bailout program today but with those huge millstones of debt repayments still to come for decades yet just one of the stories we're covering.
11:37 am
few. politicians. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. that you have to like to be close to see what the facts scream the more people get. interested always in the water out.
11:38 am
of their. claims he's been stripped of his security clearance after complaining about astronomical payments to private contractors related to questionable connections. the story. pentagon contracts are among the best ways to make big bucks and fast but even within the agency with a multi-billion dollar budget some deals stood out as outrageous for adam love injure an analyst turned whistleblower he reported them to his bosses and believes was punished for doing so by having his pay cut and security clearances revoked there's a lot of players and entities in the story so try to bear with me here adam love and you worked for the office of net assessment a small but evidently important department at the pentagon.
11:39 am
in twenty sixteen loven to complain to the management about two contractors one is stephan harper and the other is a company called long term strategy group will begin untangling this with a helper the pentagon tasked him with writing up policy sheets for problematic regions at least from the u.s. standpoint like russia or china or india this fact alone raised red flags for the whistleblower since the department of defense as employees tasked with just that while how her was an outsider what made things more suspicious is that helper was paid astronomically move the nervous. nobody in the office seem to know what hope or was doing for his money some contracted out a good chunk of it to other academic components as it as a middleman that was very unusual for this type of work the pentagon reimbursed
11:40 am
helper with more than a million dollars in the span of just under six years and a stranger doesn't get this kind of money in washington allegations of undercover spy games around help or date back all the way to the reagan years while more recently he was outed as an f.b.i. informant scooping for dirt on the trump campaign working against the current us president makes helper trumps the enemy and anyone who is a trump's enemy is hillary clinton's friend and clinton's name weaves into this story and now the contract to love and your flag the long term strategy group to him the company's stood out for an obvious reason see the head of this group and hillary clinton's daughter chelsea best sees jackie and i are still best friends she was in my wedding and i was in her leaked emails from hillary clinton server indicate the then secretary of state actively promoted the interests
11:41 am
of the long term strategy group with a deal d. d. a secretary clinton thank you again for all your courage went on how to deal d. we had a productive discussion about iran and developments in nato asia but also discuss going to the eagles and that doubt what we need to do so that you can go to work love injure wanted his bosses not only to look into the likely conflict of interest there but you also question the quality of the job done. on the issue of quality more than once i have heard our contractor studies labeled derivative college level and based heavily on secondary sources one of our contractors studies was literally cut and pasted from a world bank report that i just happened to have read the week before even the font was the same long term strategy group and the pentagon both denying that clinton's involvement had anything to do with the contracts the same people in the pentagon
11:42 am
who compensated helper and the group had love in his clearances and pay reduced to nothing months after his complaints citing official reasons that have nothing to do with the whistleblower yet loving ger is doubtless he's downfall is ritchie buescher for crossing the wrong people he goes down off there we are the pentagon and department of justice to comment on mr love and his case there's allegations so far nothing but from about it. big day for free for a day finally accepting that bailout program brought in over the country's huge debt crisis and the biggest rescue package in global financial history the e.u. and the i.m.f. international monetary fund handed greece more than three hundred billion euro but it had a huge impact on the country's economy more than four hundred thousand people have moved abroad pensions are down taxes are up and athens is still expected to be repaying those loans until twenty sixty the crisis provoked serious tensions
11:43 am
between greece and the e.u. they picked in twenty fifteen when brussels demanded greater austerity measures to deal with the debt mountain most greeks voted against further restrictions in that referendum you may recall but nonetheless the government still implemented it meant the e.u. on lots another eighty six billion euro in aid the bailouts triggered countless protests over the years to. yeah the. the. the the the will. to. enter turnitin wouldn't be in the. drastic reduction of the debt to make it
11:44 am
sustainable in two thousand and ten and it wouldn't require a lot of restructuring in order to make the debt sustainable debt but at that time neither europe nor the united states or the world economy are worse ready to deal with the debt effectively and that's why people view it with some relief in the sense that they were not be under the same stranglehold as they were in the past eight years on the other and greece will still have to continue with this and are staring to regime which is going to make life difficult for the majority greeks. well tough times still ahead there in greece that's the way the news look in so far this month there's no more scope one is kevin i would next up there with you know just for me a very good day. seems
11:45 am
wrong. to me that you get to shape out. educate and gauge equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. to look for common ground. finally you know the women also to take ended up planning now how does it land on taliban people point. line and if you have you would it be that easy to the
11:46 am
point he can get out and me. plus. plus the city people whom he didn't. look at i thought it might upon my little bit of a minute from now that i don't look at it i'll accept that i don't have money coming around like i'm going to wait for tomorrow to get a grip on a. visit to london to fly these fools. some forces of. the sea. you can be no problem.
11:47 am
i'm after times when you're watching going underground while we're away with screening some of your favorite episodes of this season coming up in this show assistance a vision filmmaker whistleblower actor and activist rose mcgowan exposes the hollywood propaganda model and tells us why not to trust a man in a three thousand dollars suit we speak to her about her manifesto brave demystifying a multi-billion dollar system that seeps into the consciousness of billions all around the world told us and more coming up in today's going underground but first those fighting nato nation neoliberalism were to be on the streets of rome today to . what they see is the death of democracy in europe the electorally successful five star movement that alone its far right allies just didn't want to defect even appointed i.m.f. man to be prime minister of italy we don't like. it don't you. see
11:48 am
leaning if you want to change it you can see that if i don't know why i can't see anything i want to. watch it my view nor in other words what's happened in europe in the past ten or twenty years is just astonishing i mean even the wall street journal it's astonishing. pointed out recently in an article that which is correct that in europe no matter what government is elected you know for a left or right and if you know they follow exactly the same policies nigel farage saw that and so from the left did the mentor of u.k. labor leader jeremy corbin in europe or in the key positions are appointed not elected the commission for example or appointed not one of them in the team and the way that europe has developed is that the bankers and the mountain national
11:49 am
corporations have got very powerful positions and if you come in on their terms they will tell you what and cannot do and then acceptable ideas that were today supposed to be given voice on the streets of the eternal city but italy which will be the third largest economy in the e.u. after rex it has long been targeted for not being in line with washington in one thousand nine hundred eleven debated nature collaboration with oem groups to defy democracy as former f.b.i. consultant paul williams told sean stone son a film director all over about operation gladio on r t is watching the hawks during gladio one the years of lead in italy when there were these horrific bombings even the colonial bombing posited from time they were all. by really. behind you it's a glow to your units spurred on by the cia well a destabilization of italy is open to debate no one need to bait how
11:50 am
a particular italian american actors destabilize the arguable propaganda arm of the us military industrial complex hollywood her name is rose mcgowan and she's been in the news for bringing down powerful men like harvey weinstein currently on bail after being indicted by a grand jury for sex crimes that he denies roses appeared in scores of t.v. and feature films a directorial debut dog was nominated for the grand jury prize at sundance so they just work is brave tracing her journey from the children of god cult in southern italy to becoming a movie star she joins me now rose welcome to going underground so why do you think many people believe this part autobiography part manifesto about hollywood of the journey towards hollywood as well as well what is so rare. i think it's so rare because people don't talk back to hollywood people don't break rank and they don't tell secrets even though this is definitely not a tell all and like i say it's a tell it how it is people don't really do that either because of a powerful interest stopping anyone from hiding the what's beneath it i think it is
11:51 am
the powerful interest i think it's just because it's how it's always been done you know how we call things you know the best poirot for the job like we have the same names we have the same schedule that they did from when they started hollywood don't deviate it just stays the same because these are the unwritten rules but you know i don't really believe in unwritten rules i don't i don't see the point and i . i don't see the point in not saying it like it is we've got intimations of the horror and you name check one very famous actress frances former why. some i mean apart from the fact that electroshock therapy is actually used later in the in the narrative what's the importance of frances for frances farmer was a classic hollywood actress and she did very few films she was doing very well and the hollywood powers that be wanted her to continue being famous she did not want
11:52 am
to be she didn't want to be an actress she didn't want that life for herself and. the studio head in collusion with her mother had her kidnapped and given electroshock therapy to force her to want to be famous and instead as i say in the book it left her just a husk of a woman and that is kind of i wrote that because it's kind of the message you get as a woman there just. they would love to be able to do that to me i'm sure of it if it's just don't get out of line little girl don't get out of line with what short was it you explained it is quite funny actually so it. was the united states. given that you left the gold in italy and you arrived in the united states which of america really was i don't know that i've ever gotten over being shocked when america i tell you the truth on a daily basis is quite shocking. it is an incredibly beautiful land but it was very traumatic and i did have a big quibble with orange cheese and not understand it having never seen it before
11:53 am
in into me it was just a perfect metaphor for. i mean imagine going to the food there in the eighty's in america it was going from italian food in tuscany you to that was just everything was different was loud it was it was it was everything you think you cried over the denny's getting i cried over eating spaghetti a fast food restaurant i thought this is it i'm stuck and when it comes to the classism we're going with and that's the word to use when food stamps are involved with school people ashamed people are shamed for that and it was interesting going back and forth between my father who at the time did have you know some money to than my mother who was putting yourself back to university so we were on a very lean budget and it is it likes to pretend it doesn't have that class structure that it got free of it but that's who we were formed by you know america anyway and it's not free of it and how exactly do you think it manifests in
11:54 am
different ways that none of us everywhere are just from if you're poor you go to the drugstore the chemist to get your face cream instead of you know the and in the u.k. would be selfridges for the fancy people but it's the same people behind say l'oreal making both products or. you know they follow you in places if they don't feel like you're quite right for it or they exist all the examples of it the subtleties the if you go into a wal-mart there which is you know store by and large it's a very cheap clothing store and i think they've just sold it a big market here but it was interesting i went into one recently and all the clothing marketed towards people of a certain means were all fluorescent and i thought you're not going to go into a store on you know rodeo drive with all these flora it was like so we can easily identify the poor people there's a lot of psychology that goes into the stuff and i i had
11:55 am
a lot of time i suppose to think about it and your choice of rebellion like so many other children all around the world was the only way that many of them have music and fashion music and fashion and just i didn't i was very ok with being different i was very ok i was looking differently and i was ok with putting out the message of i guess i'm not like you and it wasn't they just knew that inherently the stink of lee you know when you're from somewhere else they love making you feel like you're the freak and i just but it's not me throughout the country of immigration in the book you say you hear the teacher saying we're trying to teach you the pledge of allegiance you might get the communist out of you and then you say that's how you were fascists. didn't even get a no no historical and you know not really and the books were really wrong and the
11:56 am
books that they taught with and you still do. i didn't put this in the book or it got cut but i was very influenced by malcolm x. when i was eleven and i was your average eleven year old reading material but i was reading the autobiography of malcolm x. and he said something that really stuck with me at that time when i'd come to america and he said why would you let your enemies teach your children. and not just kind of. really stuck with me in terms of realizing i didn't want their information in my head i didn't want the propaganda in my head i'll take what i want leave the rest and there was a powerful influence it was probably well malcolm x. doing known for by any means necessary some that kind of power in any kind of move of justice it went right influenced me incredibly. they i mean this is the story of the autobiographical part of the story quite bizarre the story where not being a drug addict a drug addict you end up in rehab you just. i mean stepdad you know really at the
11:57 am
end of the day. but you're taught about drugs rehab i taught i learned a lot about drugs rehab i learned about what they do how much street value was what they look like where the best areas are to procure them and i thought it was the most bizarre form of teaching and obviously they want to repeat customers in this particular rehabilitation center so i chose to leave it because drugs rife in. in hollywood as well where would one would say they are right pretty much everywhere but in hollywood i'm sure yes and the meanness you saw in the streets after that when you were homeless and so what. you say in terms of meanness it was worse amongst the three thousand dollars it's far worse there was a lot more kindness on the street there's a lot more kindness shown and that is something. you kind of fall into a band of people quite quickly. and i i really i think fundamentally there came from people that did tell the truth and so i just naively
11:58 am
assumed people were telling me the truth once i got to hollywood i couldn't understand why they would lie i would think about it i think they can't be lying because what would be the motive the motive the simply to live. and this is the studio executive system which what it didn't change since the one nine hundred thirty s. was an earlier comment earlier as a matter it hasn't changed and the. it's the same amount of directors in the directors guild of america i talk about that in the book you know and that's those are all the directors that are making the product that you see that goes into your mind and worldwide and that statistic that ninety six percent males in that d.g.a. directors guild that hasn't changed one hundred forty six why is it being so able to prevent anyone from storming the barricades all cults are very good at that are . unsupported by media as well what the role specifically with me the role of the
11:59 am
media is is very much and has always been you know hand in hand with hollywood and the government's completely hands off obviously this government's not going to be doing anything about it but the government's always been pretty much hands off except for the blacklisting era after that stopped the original blacklisting you know joseph mccarthy in the fifty's it was cointelpro somewhere in between rather than twelve unsanctioned yeah but it was the black listing for mean media the way i speak about how media treated me was that they were in fact paid often has been proven to drag me to say bad things about me for the last twenty years really and you think you're just i mean in this story it is. until julie and about the ending i mean you had this one when to a brit character chrysalis records to describe his story and when he was one of the one light in your life he was a light cantor was somebody who helped me out of a bad situation and i hope for the future and then he was murdered still
12:00 pm
unsolved and that was there's a point where i mean i say it in the book or earmark for weird sometimes and i look at that like the ultimate theft and he was stolen and that was a really it was a seminal moment in my life and also it's just. it was really dark obviously you know and that was a dark that was a dark dark time and was things kind of went black for a while but like anything you survive it because there's no choice and not everyone does result stop either war from rez we got after the break.
