they came off the plane. flight from london to help. the n.b.c. . general and. their reporter polarizing the media. i feel like. we have to be open to listening to different.

people living in different universes sources close to. everything from. this is. from all of us here. passengers on a flight from london to have stood up for a man who was being deported from britain and the man was shouting and crying resisting the deportation when fellow passengers decided to intervene. explains there is an ugly twist to this story. take him off the plane this is the passengers on a flight to. stood up for

a man being forcibly removed from the u.k. the home office was attempting to deport you could be ahmed back to his home country of somalia which he'd left when he was reportedly a young boy. was a little of the fire. but his screams alerted the other passengers on board to the fact that he was being made to leave the country against his will so fellow passengers leapt to his defense he says it was was forget exactly what it was just got it was hard work because there was minutes later home office officials scored off the plane and back to u.k. jurisdiction. it's now been revealed the passengers helped to keep in the country is a convicted gang rapist in august two thousand and seven he brutally assaulted

a sixteen year old girl along with three other men in a premeditated attack he was sentenced to nine years in prison and he was released after four one of his fellow gang members has since traveled to syria and died fighting with islamic state terrorists the passengers on the plane are unlikely to have known ahmed's dangerous criminal history and the loss of security was never. seen it was going to lead to a really good research that will now thanks to their intervention you have had is thought to be back in a u.k. detention center while government officials tried to place him on another flight his lawyers now have time to appeal the decision to deport him the u.k. isn't alone when it comes to citizens disrupting government approved deportations earlier this year in sweden. student activist refused to take a seat on

a plane until a failed asylum seeker who was being sent back to afghanistan was taken off the flight and she live streamed the entire incident gold chain it's. going to get killed it was later reported the man had been sentenced for assault the u.k. home office says that all foreign nationals who were sentenced for a crime and abuse the u.k.'s hospitality should be in no doubt of the government's determination to remove them but the government may not have banked on citizen activists being just as determined to let them stay. we have asked the u.k. home office for clarification regarding the identity of the suspect earlier we spoke with former chief executive of the u.k.'s immigration advisory service keith best he believes that cases like this one should not be decided by the public but rather decided by the courts and i think this example shows how wrong people can be

although they may have sympathy for somebody particularly if they're being manhandled in a rather aggressive manner to get them on an aircraft in order to deport them i can understand where people sympathy might lie but of course as we've discovered with this case those sympathies may be very misplaced storages want to use that line for deportation cases then they have to do a balancing act between complying with the legal regulations or look this thing human rights safeguards and to make sure that they are fully articulated in favor of somebody who might otherwise be removed wrongly. u.s. news network n.b.c. is under fire after showing remarks by president trump on the american civil war out of context making it look like he was praising

a pro-slavery confederate general and the outlook corrected its report only two days later. caleb maupin looks at how the us media is becoming ever more polarized in the liberal side of american media donald trump was in hot water they had him on video praising robert e. lee the pro-slavery confederate general during the us civil war they even had video evidence for their claim of obvious racism it also gave you. a general. who was incredible he drank a little bit too much. you know what i'm talking about. so robert e. lee was a great general but it turns out that n.b.c. misrepresented the comment the general the trunk called incredible was actually ulysses s. grant the general of the union army now grant was anything but a racist in fact after he became president he even sent troops to fight the ku klux klan years after the civil war was over and b.c.

had to run a retraction and show the full sound by a general. who was incredible he drank a little bit too much. and his name was green general grant. anti drum faction smelled blood and went into overdrive they ran all kinds of headlines about trump praising the confederate general even said he was a big fan of general lee they even quoted distant descendants of lee denouncing the president and yet again our president is longing and showing us his true colors he is showing us that he supports an idol of white supremacy and hatred robert the least for the continued in. our bodies. but the pro trump crowd was watching a completely different movie the news in right field was that trump was innocent victimized by scheming liberals so folks in the anti trump camp got confirmation that the donald is a racist meanwhile those in the pro trump bubble got confirmation that the liberal

press is out to slander him and that's just one example of how americans seem to live almost in two different realities with loyal audiences getting sucked in by different narratives but i am better and i trying to decide if the temp of ministration is more sinister or more incompetent well let me relieve you of your burden. next time you can see that it's both incompetent and cynicism i think it's fair for black americans to say you know what i could consider the truth to judge the made in america make america great again so we're here in liberal new york city and we're going to see if average new yorkers have even heard some of the headlines that are all the rage among conservatives. did you hear about the controversy regarding the the movie about the moon landing and donald trump didn't know it did not one controversy i haven't heard about you know i haven't.

did you hear about trump praising robert e. lee. every lead is i think i have yes i heard. do you feel like americans are divided and that like those who listen to protract media hear one side of the story and those who hear. stuff hear another side part of your question i definitely feel like the country is divided by believe the triumph i was follow incorrect maybe fake is. but i don't i'm not a term follower i believe the media i do feel like it's divided we have to be open to listening to different countries different different peoples interests as long as there is a divide between. ethnicities and cultures in no line of respect between these of them there's always going to be a divide and there's always going to be people living in different universes to some donald trump is a heroic champion making american great again to others he's a power mad fascist inciting bigotry no matter what you think of donald trump it's

pretty obvious that americans are more deeply polarized than ever before and warring media narratives are deepening that division cable mop and r.t. new york donald trump has branded n.b.c.'s coverage as dishonest claiming that the channel deliberately made him look bad and we discussed the situation with investigative journalist max blumenthal who says americans are being left none the wiser by the news coverage. point worth making about fox and m s n b c is that their formula is to cover a very narrow range of topics so if you watch these networks you probably aren't going to know much about what's happening outside of american horse race politics so no matter which network you're watching you are going to wind up less informed unless you're completely concerned with the different palace intrigues going on in washington that's why a lot of americans are turning to alternative media as well as foreign media and

why foreign media is under threat in the u.s. why this network for example has been forced to register as a foreign agent it's pretty apparent that the national security state in the u.s. doesn't want to merican to be particularly well informed about foreign policy and what's happening on the ground in yemen or in palestine or latin america. ecuador has agreed to partially restore internet access for wiki leaks founder julian assange chu has been denied that since march sources close to him have told us that he's been given guidelines on how to act online but i could also want so songs to be on his best behavior offline as well to keep the place nice and tidy.

so we're killers has now published that nine page protocol and with more details his. sources close to jude innocence of told r.t. that the ecuadorian embassy imposed a new protocol that covers the day to day aspects of mr sounds as life inside the ecuadorian embassy in regulating get really they cover things like how his visits are managed in any visitors who wish to go and see the former editor of wiki leaks will have to make an official inquiry via email and also how he communicates with the world we know that six months ago his internet access was cut off it will now

be reestablished albeit part partially and also things like his medical treatment how he's treated medically that will be covered within the framework of that memo and also it prohibits him from doing will saying anything which is deemed as interfering in the internal affairs of other countries and of course six months ago when his into that access was caught it was a result of the various statements he was making with regard to the independence referendum in cats alone and as a result of that of course having his internet access cut off they've now prohibited him from making any statements that are considered to be political meddling now in september mr sound was forced to resign as editor of wiki leaks he was replaced by kristinn hrafnsson an investigative journalist from iceland and wiki leaks releasing a statement saying that it was due to the extraordinary circumstances that he had

been placed within the ecuadorian embassy which is why he had been made to stand down now of course it remains to be seen exactly how this sets of rules impacts mr sanders life inside the embassy and also remains to be seen exactly when he will finally be able to leave the embassy. the canadian transgender athlete is facing a backlash after winning the cycling world championship rachel mckinnon who was born male finished first in the race in los angeles this sunday ultimately becoming the first of a transgender woman to win gold in the competition but her achievement was met not only with applause. unfair advantage and not to be celebrated look at the difference in size and muscle mass of course you were going to win imagine being the woman who came forth knowing that you should have a place on the podium amazing i was so infused at reading this i went out and

challenged two eight year olds to a one hundred meter race guess what i only went and won first time running in an eight year old's race to. it denies the accusations saying she was forced to suppress her testosterone level in accordance with competition rules on transgender athletes so we invited a couple of guests to debate this issue what i find strange is the hue and cry being raised over transgender athletes but not over other athletes who clearly have certain advantages over fellow competitors i think the way in which transgender athletes are being singled out is very very unfair and wrong now of course we do need to look at whether transgender athletes do have an advantage which is unfair and gives them an advantage over others but i don't think the research really substantiate that at the moment the female athletes themselves fear feel that there

are some particular disadvantage in competing somebody who's gender has been. in some cases changed you know there have been cases in the past so i mean the most celebrated. american tennis player really richards who i was a man was a useful player. and then our underwent transgender. and competed as a woman and reached the following all of the double this of the u.s. open tennis championships you know one of the four grand slams one of the most important in the world as a singles player and out ranked twentieth and this was at the age of forty four when she reached that level and you would look at that cage some say well how would you really richards as a man ever been able to reach those sorts of heights as

a man and that is of course extremely doubtful there are all kinds of advantages that athletes have for sprinters having fast. muscle fibers definitely gives you an advantage it isn't just this issue it's a whole range of issues about where genetic and other bothers your fact is may give a particular athlete the edge over others i certainly think there should be as far as trying to gender intersection situations. going further the man i think would be an enormous task. in proportion hopefully there would be some kind of consensus and we could establish a regime for all sports where. the athletes who are transgender and intersex but also those who perhaps have other special unique physical attributes

or biological genetic got tributes that they could be included or thank you joining us so far for the program here on our c still up and coming the mayor of a small french town is waging war on fast food giant mcdonald's but his big mac movement isn't going down too well with the locals details intimate.

what politicians do something that. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to go right to be close it's like i'm up for six three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the water it's. six. hundred twenty past the hour here in moscow dozens of palestinians injured off the israeli army fired rubber bullets on tear gas at students under officials who were protesting the closure of

a palestinian school that served two villages in the west bank the closure means five hundred children will no longer receive an education that. what i like about the israeli army is firing tear gas and sound bombs at our children why just because palestinian students come here to learn your completion authority tonight's even the right to education. that we do we brought our children to school because we want to study just like other people in the world the decision to close the school violates their right to education and we reject. the israeli army says the

reason for the school closure is that some of the students have been throwing stones from its grounds claiming that the facility has produced acts of terror the i.d.f. has now declared the school a closed military zone but palestinian schools are not only subjected to closure aid agencies warn that there are at least sixty one schools in the west bank that are under threat of demolition from israel they see it as a violation of children's basic rights to an education they're out of the news website of palestine chronicle ramsey baroud says the demolitions are actually a pretext for seizing more territory for israeli settlements. the need land and the need the land of the need the other villages and this is why the targeting of these of these areas so basically it usually starts with the confiscation of palestinian land then the targeting of anything the city and who does protests then declaring

more and more palestinian lands to be closed off military military zone and even sure these closed off areas are joined by or are added to the jewish settlements that are in constant expansion this is a story that's really goes to the heart. of the west bank this is about building settlements and of course you would want every possible pretense in order for them to put the blame on the kindest indians who are fighting for their wives and they are either or they're. the mayor of a small french town on an island off the country's atlantic coast is waging war on a fast food giant mcdonald's which hopes to open a branch that we've just lost a second legal case resulting in fines for his anti big mac campaign but he vows to fight on the locals though a divided. i.

will make the call we were elected because he ran on a platform of a political and social transition the model promised by this kind of company runs counter to what you do nothing to stop working. with the goal of big big big today cause big maybe if you've. got a few people can eat whatever they want who am i to judge but we were elected on this platform so we have an alternative this morning.

i think online and such as i always say we should instead encourage french businesses there is another way to create jobs if you think about the quantity we all know not only what i want the only issue with fuel there is this kind of ecological extremism explain it today mcdonald's means creating more jobs reviving the. town c.c. muscle to advice for sharing a tuesday with us here at aussie international way back with a new program in about half an hour you can join us then. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world the politics sports business i'm show business i'll see that. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each

loss a whole. most people. two paychecks away from home. tracking gave americans a lot of job opportunities i needed to come up here to make some money twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a year truck so i chose to drive truck people who rushed to a small town in north dakota was among the employment rate of zero percent like the gold rush is very very similar. but this beautiful story ended with pollution and of a station a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people. lost their jobs got
