7:30 am
you were asked by an elderly palestinian man if he could accompany him to get his car back that the israeli side taken as an economic shield and leave preaching the idea. that our hands in the air and there's no one around me and they shot me and i am absolutely sure they shot me and it is here to witness what is happening and share it with the world and hopefully some you know some attention on that and if our governments aren't doing anything it's up to people like me to come here and tell the world about it kristen force claims she was first hit in the stomach while standing with her hands raised and later in the same week while being against the wall shot in the ankle and while rubber coated steel bullets are seen as non-lethal the injuries they inflict can be severe particularly when fired at close range the forty three year old norwegian activist who has been supporting palestinian
7:31 am
protesters and what they describe as occupation of their land by israel now the israeli army told r.t. that force had been standing among rioters at the time who had been violent towards its soldiers and says it will investigate force ourselves as the palestinians are being subjected continually to violence i think is nearly one hundred people have been shot with live ammunition over the years. hundreds have been shot by these boys that i was shot with it's been two guys that had skunk water into their houses but they're not getting any attention the are here to witness what is happening and share it with the world and hopefully some someone will you know put some attention on them. a scottish university has launched a new initiative to help transgender people it's encouraging new students to wear badges with the pronouns he all day indicating how they want to be referred to the
7:32 am
campaign is being run by edinburgh university students union is part of an effort to avoid so-called missed gender however it says students should not should rather well not use the term preferred pronouns emphasizing it's not a preference but rather it is a necessity the issue of youngsters one is the change gender has been increasingly stirring controversy of the u.k.'s women's minister victoria atkins as a suppressed concern over the rising number of miners now wishing to go through we are steinman i read in the paper recently there has been a large increase in the number of teenagers who are identifying a such and i think we need to get down to the reasons why this is happening it may simply be a case of greater awareness it may be that they seize his annoyances to questions they are perhaps not asking themselves. we debated the issue with bt activist peter tatchell and radio talk show host john gaunt. the purpose of these badges is just
7:33 am
to raise awareness in particular to make transfusions and their friends and allies feel comfortable safe and accepted i don't think that's a terrible thing i think it's just a common human decency to become into i know that perfectly reasonable have made this decision what's not reasonable add on a minute where universities are trying to tell lecturers it happened at university of toronto of course famously with jordan peterson where they totally had should not use things like hello ladies and gentlemen hello boys and girls they had to fit into these new pronouns if they want to say today i'm a man tomorrow am a boy the next hour my fridge freezer so that but i don't have to fainter i don't want to get into a situation where i have to change pronouns i have to change the english language for a minority of very small minority they are attacking my freedom of speech my freedom of expression let's be reasonable if somebody feels they are you know being assigned the wrong gender they're in the wrong body i have enormous sympathy for
7:34 am
them but we shouldn't be kind of i don't really want to use this word but encouraging it which we're edinburgh university is doing well no one is encouraging them and nor should anyone encourage them this is a call that's coming from the young people themselves whatever number of universities doing. if they have said people can change once one day to the next that's quite clearly absurd but here trans people do not choose to be trans they don't make this decision about gender reassignment really very very serious long protracted thought and indeed is often agonizing they face often rejection by their parents being thrown out of home and very high rates of suicide and attempted suicide so this is not a decision that a young person takes lightly and if they make the decision but they feel. that there are one gender or another i think we should respect that i don't think it's
7:35 am
a big deal to it's about common decency just about being kind and compassionate to other people so i don't i agree with that but bought a same token they should respect our rights to have a different view and when you talk about this this is always brought that thing about trans in suicide it isn't because they're struggling with the fact they think they're in the wrong body that leads generally to the suicide it's after when they realise they've made a dreadful mistake which is why the woman as a minister or the education minister is right to say we need to look at why more and more young people are trying to go through this we need to look at why puberty brought king drugs are being handed out like smarties they don't know their own mind i agree with you peter it must be agonizing to needs time in the street thought about and they need to be of an age where they know that they are in the wrong body not giving them out to six year old eight year olds and ten year olds and you know that's happening peta and it's wrong trans people are reality they've
7:36 am
existed since time in world war throughout history i think the fact that there are more people coming forward is because there is greater social understanding and acceptance the stigma and guilt is fading away that issue has been discussed more openly and that is why more people are coming forward and finds trans but it's still a tiny tiny minority a minority that is no threat to anyone and i think we should live and let live and except that people who are different for whatever reason including because the generosity that they have a place in the human family are just a moment here on the program on our t.v. to germany where of others a facebook video in which she complains about her son being one of only two kids in the kindergarten able to speak german the whole video goes viral gets lots of reaction that story and just.
7:37 am
seemed wrong. wrong just don't call. me. yet to say proud just being a cunt to educate and engage me equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. but politicians do something. to put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to be rich. to do like to be close it's like before three in the morning can't be good get.
7:38 am
interested always in the water out. there should. be with us today a german mother has sparked controversy by posting a video on facebook off to finding out how son was one of only two german children in his kindergarten in the city of s. and in it she says he feels like a foreigner. in the hope of mine is almost in three months there are twenty five children in my son's group two of them speak german the others don't speak german at all is it integration of twenty three children have fun with each other while my son doesn't understand them and can find any way to connect with them is that integration of my son has to adapt to them my son and i feel like foreigners here
7:39 am
is that what you want to do your politicians is this integration that other children seemingly don't have to adapt because they understand each other and now my son has to adapt to these other children this is not integration dear politicians the parents of muhammad ali or whatever they're called to do not have to complain that she also stressed that she's not blaming the children in the daycare center or their parents for the situation later she apologized for her comments but decided not to delete the video because it did go viral to have a commitment so i'm all for sorry didn't expect such a storm of reaction i made this video at a very emotional moment and i just wanted to share my frustration and never expected two million people to watch it and i can only speak for myself it's a big problem in my city but many people have written to me and i learned that it's a country wide problem not just regional of course i believe that integration is very important but my son has now put in
7:40 am
a tree to develop he should speak more german adapt to our cultures and it doesn't work when there are almost no germans everything in the city has set this group up and mixed the children incorrectly and as a result will end up with lost children no one speaks german no one can integrate and this loss is on both sides i can see it in my son. officials from the s. and kindergarten said that this is a special additional group created by the city due to the lack of places in kindergartens and german they insist it's still a common language children just need more time to adapt we spoke to beyond have a stolen from germany's left party he thinks that the mother should look at the situation from another angle consider it as an advantage for her son she has a very narrow minded approach and i don't want to judge sure but i don't know whether she has experienced other cultures and i think that's where her son who's going to this cannot has an advantage because he gets to know other cultures and
7:41 am
other languages and it early age that an opportunity that she apparently didn't get less not only children who cannot go on this educators german educators as well and it's their role to teach the children german language and german culture but i think children can also learn from each other nowadays in germany we're not a country where only one language is spoken on the streets and where we only have one culture and one prizzi's we have all different kinds of cultures and in twenty years when those children will be participating in the labor market things will have changed even more. and germany is not the only european country of course affected by the influx of migrants on tuesday hungary's leader and italy's interior minister both strong opponents of illegal immigration met to discuss the current situation and common future plans. so the current situation is like that. it's one is led by man alone who is supporting migration and we are on the other
7:42 am
side trying to stop illegal immigration all of this issue is strongly debated inside the european people's party and we want to align to be accepted. that we're asking for collaboration first of all from the large countries the countries that share a border with us like france the first person who should show his sensitivity and solidarity is the french president for my reopening the border at ventimiglia and he can do so even tomorrow morning. salivated who is italy's interior minister who has minister i should say has already taken a hard line against continued migration most recently a migrant rescue boat was blocked from disembarking in italy for ten days it's a city and prosecutor involved an investigation against solve a need for abuse of office kidnapping and illegal arrest he denied the accusations though saying he was simply protecting his country independent journalist a look we have believes the meeting between gary and an italian politicians could
7:43 am
well set an example for the rest of the. remember mr orban in the last few years was presented as the elite duckling in europe you know the crazy guy or the fascist even by some of those well he's very popular in his country and he stopped the flow of immigration to hungary coming from the east and the central theme in the meeting want very well between the two men i think they're on the same wavelength basically it's that together they want to try to stop the influx and i think it could be stopped very rapidly if all countries show clearly that europe doesn't want any more of that language. video of police beating a man in california has gone viral and provoke a reaction from thousands of online users recording shown on facebook or shows three police officers striking a man lying face down in front of
7:44 am
a restaurant. you know why. did the incident occurred last friday in a town close to san francisco local police responded to the call of a fourteen year old girl who said a man was holding her in a car against her will and officers arrived a twenty two year old man tried to escape but was detained by police put him face down on the pavement and handcuffed him now the incident has provoked a wide range of reactions the police are not judges or juries nothing just defies that abuse don't know what that guy did but he didn't deserve to get hit over and over hope someone gets fired whatever the issue is or worse once he scoffed there is no reason to keep beating him he kidnapped someone's child his intentions toward that girl are far worse than being beat up by police. in
7:45 am
a statement to the media police captain explained his colleague's actions were appropriate for those circumstances yet at that after handcuffing the suspect officers refrained from using extra force and we spoke to community activist michel gross who says it's important that criminal suspects speak treated with respect you know if a person commits a crime that they should be arrested and they should have the opportunity to go in front of a judge yes the young girl may where well have been a victim of this man i don't know but the police don't know that either and that's why it's important to help hold the person's rights until the point at which they go to trial you know then that at that point the tortes take over the police are not to be the judge jury and executioner their job is to do investigations and arrest people that they think have a reason to be arrested and then their duty ends they don't get to just beat out the justice by beating on people and things like that i believe they have to use
7:46 am
excessive force but it's clear that the department and officers are already circling the wagons to avoid any accountability it's something that they do pretty much every single time they attempt to justify their use of excessive force through all kinds of other means thanks for sharing some of your wednesday with us here at r.t. international twenty six minutes past the hour here in moscow we are back with. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten colored prime tamping each day
7:47 am
. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and because he rose to twenty thousand dollars . china is building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only. ratings and salutations. let's start to day talk watchers in yemen that tragic war torn land that many in the u.s.
7:48 am
news media chosen to ignore or pretend doesn't exist despite the massive amounts of u.s. military assistance in arms of help devastate that country you see the united states has been supplying logistics intelligence and arms to the saudi arabian led coalition forces since their intervention against the who the rebels inside yemen began back in two thousand and fifteen this support went virtually unchecked or on notice by mainstream western news media and political figures until. mid august when a coalition air strike targeted a bus carrying forty innocent yemeni children on a school field trip using a lockheed martin made us supplied missile and when confronted about the airstrike the saudis initially declare of the school bus was a legitimate military target. in response u.s. senator chris murphy a democrat out of connecticut tweeted out we just bombed a school bus we need to end this now and then
7:49 am
a rare instance of a senator or a us senator putting his bill where his tweets are murky actually sponsored an amendment to the latest defense appropriation bill that would have put key restrictions on u.s. financial and other support for the saudi led bombing campaign would have being the key to words here because despite the massive amounts of casualties and devastation our bombs and logistics and caused including the forty dead children that didn't stop u.s. senators led by some of the richard shelby of alabama respectively killing senator murphy's amendment and as if to pour salt on these wounds of political cowardice and warmongering by senator shelby and his fellow fellow congressman less than twenty four hours after stopping murphy's bill dead another twenty six children were killed in an air strike in yemen last weekend i think it's time to start
7:50 am
watching the hawks. as they are to pull out of it. but you know that i got. this. welcome aboard the flight from the ark site to rome and capitalists showed the latest. another airstrike hits another another school of mass. kills more children and were we seriously have to really like even think about the fact that we should stop. early if you're in the sun yeah especially if you're in the so it's like well. it's tragic but we shouldn't we shouldn't abandon our allies
7:51 am
in saudi arabia even though they're killing children even though they're killing how does children with our hardware and our logistics and our help and our gasoline and our gas station to centrally but we're not involved we're not there we're not like we're not actually doing anything it's totally different so let's go lay out for the good people out there this second airstrike because it wasn't really a report of about baucher and western media well no i guess there weren't enough images for you know anchors to cry over. so this one was twenty two yemeni children and four women were killed in another airstrike as we said it was on thursday of last week and this was what's really sad about this whole situation is that these children of these women in this bus were trying to flee the fighting and they were trying to get out of one district into somewhere where they could actually get some kind of cover and be safe so people were taken risking their lives to get these
7:52 am
children out of a war zone and they were literally had by a missile that would u.s. tax dollars paid for you know. this is the second time like you said this is the second time in two weeks that this saudi led coalition i feel like they're mercenaries at this point as a result in dozens and dozens and dozens of civilian lives and i think it's very hypocritical that when you're watching the mainstream media right now especially like the big three that these are the same people who cried over every picture out of syria as if it was the under the world maybe never seen and here's children have been starving to death and you don't notice till it's a school bus and it makes a good headline somehow yeah who does. disturber it's a good point about living this thing is how murphy's amendment what is so scary to them about you know taking a break so we know what's going on you know some of these you know basically came
7:53 am
out and said it's mind blowing that this sort of decision you know to continue to be willing willingly participants in this no matter that they rejected it and destroyed as a member of a sense of the moment would have cut off the united states' support for the saudi arabia led coalition's war in yemen until the secretary of defense certify that the coalition's air campaign is not violating international law and u.s. policy related to the protection of civilians the president saying the member would have made us follow the rules that were made it was sort of like double check and say hey are they actually following not only international rules but our own sort of rules when it comes to the you know the killing of civilians right going to rules for it by the way we have special rules for the killing we do we do we got to go to you know remind people not to kill innocent civilians but if they do they should do it in a certain way so it's nice and tidy right but what's interesting too and what doesn't get talked about a lot of this to my right is also the you know the oil issue in yemen that kind of gets lost in all of this is that just how valuable the oil was to your oil reserves
7:54 am
are right well i mean the whole point of of. this is not because there's they're so somebody but he's afraid of terrorists or and so there's some political thing and ideology this is about money and this is about getting hold of about port which is very valuable and getting hold of the oil that is that is in yemen so both oil price dot com and al-jazeera reporting that saudi arabia is planning already planning to build. to build an oil port in yemen and sources from from al jazeera are reporting that saudi arabia is planning to build another all the oil poirot port in the country south east where saudi and u.a.e. . troops are already there they're saying that you know when you look at her you have and this is like four billion gallons of oil which is great saudi arabia becomes you know this magical tourist land and they just turn yemen into an oil oh
7:55 am
it's going to raise money and resources to let him tell you otherwise every war is over money and resources. from the ongoing tragedy in yemen to the ongoing tragedy in syria but the reports that the syrian military is preparing to move on the last remaining terrorist and rebel strongholds in the northwestern syrian city of this week so all of accusations develop between the u.s. and russian military officials over the potential for yet another chemical weapons attack and who would ultimately be responsible for it are teeth and cohen has the story. don't be distracted by ridiculous misinformation that's the advice from army colonel sean ryan the spokesperson for the u.s. led coalition to defeat isis to be distracted by ridiculous misinformation from r.t. the coalition is focused on defeat isis mission and we continue to work with. to secure the region in southern syria the article colonel ryan is warning against
7:56 am
quotes the russian ministry of foreign affairs which claimed that militants loyal to be a slum mixtape and the own nusra front have infiltrated the roup on refugee camp and that the u.s. is well aware of it what's unclear or perhaps distracting is which claim colonel ryan is taking issue with that there are jihadist elements inside camp or that the united states government is aware of their presence required a refugee camp is located in the region of south eastern syria where the u.s. led coalition maintains a presence despite objections by the syrian government is one of the largest refugee camps in syria hosting tens of thousands of refugees of colonel ryan is claiming or to use a lying about the presence of jihadist militants he might want to check with the united nations in july a un security council warned about possible islamic state attacks from inside group on campus. the refugees in ripon camp of been hit by four terrorist attacks three
7:57 am
of which have been claimed by its law mixtape. if colonel ryan doesn't believe the united nations perhaps he believes the u.s. is own ally here's what general sami cough one of the jordan border guard forces had to say we. know that some people or isis people were in the inside of the camp as i said they could have been for them. to create some sort of sims inside the kernel ryan still maintains that the presence of islam state fighters inside rookie camp is a russian conspiracy theory promoted by the united nations and jordan perhaps n.b.c.'s reporting might convince them otherwise to say so or a least it's meant to be but the jordanian military pilots who took us in wouldn't fly over it and the isis fighters these people fled from our inside it's reporting in washington dan cohen our t.v.
7:58 am
. wow over and over i've seen this happen since i've been here at r.t. and it's one thing i just there is so much talk right now about reporters being you know that the journalists are the enemy of the people and there's so much of that going on and causing such division and here is someone literally going out there and saying that reporters on r.t. that we're all just a bunch of liars that we don't invest people literally risked their lives to cover this story in syria people you know r.t. reporters and people are out there working for you know these are people ended up on this kill list in order to do their job and i would like to see just once these people act like adults and stop doing that to reporters because that is exactly how trump and everybody else gets to sit there and say oh the liberal media now we all do agree that just feeds into it it makes it easier it's a great point it's one of those things it's like syria is a mess it's a it's been a mess since this war started there right there there's very. rarely can you can
7:59 am
you point to one side say oh there's accurate reporting over here there's inaccurate reporting over here i mean that's a we're yes it's a confusing and messed up. the fact that like they're going to be like oh well they're spreading this propaganda but you've got like you know all these other budgeted outlets you know saying well you know yes probably ices of marijuana that's why we will fly over this and look at the area when you look at a map and you see all of this red space and this is all clear in the only place where there are rebels or terrorists are in this one area and it's where the u.s. says and you're like what are you doing there right when you can tell very much to buy food at the end of the day that you could really see that look we've been giving we've been pour the u.s. been pouring so much arms and support into that country and everybody that we've been giving millet guns to has been flipping sides and going you know one minute they're good guys the next minute they're bad guys one minute they're out a terrorist watch list the next minute they're not then they're back on
8:00 am
a dip you know it's impossible to know who is good and who is bad in that side of that conflict well it seems like whenever you know it works for the mainstream media these major outlets since they get to control the whole narrative there and it's when it works for them yeah we see over and over. it was according to newsweek the just to point this out another rugby available source according to newsweek both the twenty seventeen attack in khan seiko and the two thousand and thirteen attack and are considered unsolved unsolved in the eyes of the defense department and defense intelligence agency. and this is after secretary of defense james madison admitted the u.s. know it has no evidence that syrian government use theron in the attacks and we have robert says there's many reporters have been as and i think it's increase ratably dishonest to continue to pretend as if they have facts and they have all the your sources and they don't give them to people.
