values freedom of expression but it is for israel to decide on who is let into the country law professor alan her relf from jerusalem's hebrew university thinks israel's jeopardizing its international relations. this is improper use of the pose of the beast and this case of these homes could do. very serious if you will not register after his removal cities because if they participated in the demonstration or if they did this or if they do this there would have to reconsider the decision to come here and then on the top of many people find it so. that we've stopped cooperating with this road because they want to cooperate with a country that would meet the joys of free exchange of ideas we this isn't restricted is rejected you know and i think it's really a kind of makes this case. to take very extreme events including a straight to the decisions being overly. right another

story generating a lot of discussion this week britain's for till it's the regulator is to look into claims that a number of doctors have been secretly allowing couples to choose their baby's gender for a fee the practice is illegal in the u.k. unless it's for medical reasons we're confident that the vast majority of the u.k. is for to it equinix do not recommend sex selection either to more brought how they would take allegations of sex selection seriously and will investigate any specific cases brought to our attention while newspaper reports claim by some couples are paid up to fourteen thousand pounds for the illegal procedure several senior doctors allegedly set up appointments at private clinics in the u.k. before arranging to complete their medical treatment abroad in countries like cyprus they knew the. well we got the thoughts of the josephine

valley who's the founder of comment on reproductive ethics and political activist it's more thwaite. there are medical conditions which either only affect boys or only affect girls and it's actually fairly standard practice in lots of places around the world for couples who have a family history of those kind of conditions to be given i.v.'s and given the opportunity to select the gender of child that is less likely to suffer from those conditions i think we would all take steps to try and make sure that children were less likely to have problems later in life in all sorts of different ways the idea of just choosing the sex of your child based on a whim i think you know i think to me it sounds horrifying but what we should be asking really is the question what kind of cultural reliving in if people have a really strong feeling if people really really only want a boy should we be forcing those people to have a girl do we want a girl raised in a family that really only wants a boy and in a culture that evidently values boys much more strongly by rejecting the embryo you don't want on the basis of that six and i think that six discrimination give women

the vote i believe in women's rights etc i think women are quite capable of accepting a pregnancy and do not need to go into this nonsense of i want to boy or i want to girl you can suggest i might like one i have five lovely sons i might have at some stage four wouldn't it be nice to have a girl i've now got four lovely granddaughters you know boys and girls in my opinion are absolutely equal and i don't think you should do anything deliberate two to make. a choice because the price is that you need to do is to discuss the embryos of the wrong six when i.v. after is done it is absolutely standard to create more embryos than you intend to implant the spare embryos are normally kept in a fridge freezer or whatever to be used in the future if they're wanted every year lots and lots of embryos are discarded because people have i.v.'s i'm actually don't want to have ten children they want to have one or two children it's

absolutely stan that if you are against discarding embryos then you are against i.v.'s and you welcome to campaign. on that front person i think it's a very fantastic process and it's brilliant that it's available to couples and if couples have a strong feeling about what the woman does or doesn't want to be pregnant with want what she wants to go on and it is inevitable that they're going to follow up when you are choosing which embryo you want you're going to analyze which is male which is female you're making a choice and this is what i'm saying i don't accept that because in choosing my eyes i'm not going to i am going to forty and many occasions these issues come to light because some conditions pass through the male rather than the families that are hard to meet in diseases go down the i.q. route in order to to see how they're going to solve that problem but just in a purely basic choice position you cannot just randomly choose

one without discrimination you. inspirational quotes fill up most people social media timelines but choose your words wisely one prominent nasa astronauts has learned that lesson the hard way after referencing british wartime prime minister winston churchill in a tweet apologizing only seem to make matters worse as more up goes the experience scott kelly he's one of the few men whose name rings beyond our planet the u.n. champion for space a man who has been lightened thousands and through his fascinating experiments his charisma his achievements helped keep humanity's passion with space alive so imagine his surprise when he quotes winston churchill about the need to be kind forgiving when you win and is virtually stampeded with objection and criticism.

churchill forgot to refer to his decision to know india's plight in fighting the famine during his administration cause millions of indians to die on the street stealing their greens and supplied it to british chinese he was a mass murderer of the records of the bengal famine of india where his policies and decisions looked to the earth of millions due to disease churchill was a mass murderer and the racists scott scott kelly apologized and promised to do better did not mean to offend by quoting churchill my apologies i will go and educate myself further on his atrocities and racist views which i do not support my point was we need to come together as one nation you'd think that would have ended it but no what a time we live in now it was the british press the british people who were upset angry and raged how big he apologized for quoting one of the greatest brits

to have ever lived strange days make no mistake winston churchill who saved his nation his people from the depredations of hitler is now too controversial to quote day in europe day. tomorrow we're all be. in europe. but what if scott kelly self years entertained and educated so many what he has done to make him a hero lazy i am awfully excited because my next guess is rocket man scott kelly captain scott kelly. today i want to demonstrate what happens when you cry in space. how much will learn from what he has to. think where does all of this leave

scott kelly he boosted his tweet a singularly divisive anniversary for america and its discovery called columbus day by some indigenous peoples day by others where barack obama spoke of the date of supplied trumps been silent on it in these times are there any angels left was mother to raise a saint for her selfless charity or an abomination for her views on abortion was j.f.k. an icon of american presidency all the more a womanizer worse than trump or is it something else we have created an atmosphere where discussion is impossible where every debate is so heated so emotional so hateful that no one can agree that says a lot more about us in the present and it does about them in the past.

medical science could take a leap into the final frontier this week russian scientists prepared to take a three d. bio printer into orbit and attempt to grow human tissue there on the next mission to be international space station which launches later this thursday from the baikonur cosmodrome their forests is donald quarter. however was not using great people levy is a war crime not that liberals would know what work actually it is going to use gritty to peddle your hate on behalf of a feeler fanbase we don't condone these idiots using our latest mascot as their long was

way. histories come back to haunt a c.n.n. reporter after a homophobic tweet she sent while at college reemerge we'll have the details in a moment. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. want. to go on to be close this is what

before three of the more people. interested in the waters of my. city. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic to follow the only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit down and talk. ninety minutes past eight am here in moscow in death row prisoners request to be executed by the electric chair rather than lethal injection has been denied by the u.s. state of tennessee edwin is of course no appealing to the supreme court. faced with

the choice of two unconstitutional methods suffix accused mr gorski has indicated that it hasn't is to move forward he believes the electric chair is the lesser of two evils ten to eighteen minutes oh drawing separate and chemical burning is unspeakable. of course fuels convicted in nineteen eighty three of murdering two men who had been expecting to buy or run fifty kilograms of calamus from him he shot them cut their throats before stealing their money truck well in tennessee a lethal injection is the primary method of execution for death row inmates but if their crime was committed before nine hundred ninety nine then they're also offered the electric chair electrocution can also be used if the injection is all available or deemed unconstitutional in sikorsky case prison officials say he needed to have

requested the church two weeks before execution but failed to do so legal expert thomas roughen told us the inmates lawyers appeal will likely be rejected. most of the people who would be executed would probably prefer lethal injection that is to be poison the death as opposed to be electrocuted lord before the deafening electric chair so this choice by mr the gorski is rather unique most people choose lethal injection i think the supreme court with this current make up would be likely to go forward to allow this execution to go forward unfortunately i think that's what will happen and there might be some question about the nature of the chemical mixture but that has been explored so much over the last ten years or so that i think misters of course case chances of being saved in that way are limited so on the other hand i think the more appropriate question is why would the united states in two thousand and eighteen still persist with executions when there are

much more humane ways of punishing people. the white house reporter for america's c.n.n. news channel has apologized for a homophobic tweet she posted while at college caitlin collins' remarks were brought to light by a conservative group that the fens l g b t q writes the tweet stage from twenty eleven before collins began working for c.n.n. and were aimed at a gay lesbian friend the spike the under the highlighted comments of cause the news network sais it accepts or apology i'm a proud gay man and i'm a proud friend of caitlin collins who i'm disappointed she have used the word even as an immature college kids i can say with certainty it doesn't reflect her feelings towards the. community she's apologized and i accept that. well caitlin collins isn't the only american news broadcaster to have homophobic

has found that despite numerous warnings even from the us national research council all the way back in the days of the one nine hundred ninety one our good friends at the pentagon have not made a serious effort to safeguard the bast packed work of software that. troels planes ships missiles and other advanced ordinance against hackers and that mission critical cyber vulnerabilities cropped up routinely during weapons development and that test teams easily took over real systems without detection using relatively simple tools and techniques how simple you ask well according to the report multiple weapons systems used commercial or open sourced software and never got around they never got around to changing the software as default password after installing it into the weapons systems meaning meaning the general accountability

office test teams could literally at look up the password on the internet and gain access to the weapons systems. our government the job of the mayor a computer science professor at princeton and former technology advisor to senator kemal harris called the report damning and stated on twitter i briefly worked on this in the silent and no hyperbole it's terrifying so. what does it mean when the department of defense can't even dependent self. i think it means it's time to start watching the hallmarks. forty. three it looks like. it's what. the bottom. like you said i got. was that we.

welcome everybody watching our science i robot and top of the rise and i'm a i'm a big kid fear is how all the way back in nineteen ninety one. that there was nothing to know about best i mean the movie hackers came out ninety five then we all know that half it's kind of academic but it's pretty it's pretty incredible when you break it all down it truly truly is and it and i was just like the research council they've had multiple warnings over the years saying hey your systems might be a little too easy to get into hey maybe you need to like kind of you know defend against this and apparently it was until i twenty fourteen then on that they actually started saying hey let's make systems that are hard to get into but let me just say one thing after another well let me just give you an idea of just how bad

the screw ups are right ok so the g.a.o. general credibility office discovered that in some cases simply scanning a system just scanning a system caused parts of the system to shut down and no one test team was able to guess and administrators password into this.
