2:04 pm
earlier this year in sweden a 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 golborne. so you are not 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 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 key best he believes courts should decide such cases not the public and i think this
2:05 pm
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 a bit of course as we've discovered with this case those sympathies may be very misplaced if they are thorough is want to use that airline for deportation cases then they have to do a balancing act between complying with the legal regulations or look at existing human rights safeguards and to make sure that they are fully articulated in favor of somebody who might otherwise be removed wrongly. meanwhile there are reports of other deportations running into difficulty french
2:06 pm
police dropped off to undocumented migrants in a forest without rome's consent and later acknowledging the wrongdoing will make sure he says incidents do not take place again will have an inquiry it was next downtown that. reports now on the italian reaction to the incident as you can imagine pretty fear is this idea that the french offices oversee that their authority went into italy and effectively dumped two undocumented migrants on italian ground before fleeing there are many questions about did they knew that they were in italy well as some questions that you could raise about that did they not notice the italian flag which often flies in the resort town of club here which this happened very need to arm those they were speeding back across the border into france did they not see the sign that welcomed the back to france italy interior minister material so really is serious about this and he's gone as far as describing president michael of france as being an international embarrassment
2:07 pm
abandoning migrants in the talian forest cannot be considered an error or an accident what happened to. president of france against our country we are facing an international embarrassment. cannot pretend otherwise we will not accept any apology well so far there hasn't been any official word from the palace that the office of president might go on here in france and this is not the first time that they have been tensions between the two countries over that area just a few months ago actually summoned the french ambassador over an incident where two french customs officers actually went on to italian soil and actually try to apprehend the tali and citizen who they tried to force to take a drug test far out of their jurisdiction and they have been other issues in regards to the the migrant crisis and how italy is responded to it just
2:08 pm
a few weeks ago the interior minister actually said that he would be prepared to close down all of the airports in italy after it was announced that germany might try and deport undocumented migrants back to italy it seems that wherever we go. issue of undocumented migration in this migration crisis is continuing these once neighboring countries apart and it doesn't look like. anything to bury the subject . the us news network n.b.c. is under fire after the show out of context remarks by president trump about the american civil war his comments made it seem like he was praising a pro-slavery confederate general now let only correct to this report two days later kill him open looks at how the us media is becoming a bit 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
2:09 pm
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 one draft of a. 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 greg. anti drum faction smelled blood and went into overdrive they ran all kinds of
2:10 pm
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 lying 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. black 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 turn to decide if the temp of ministration is more sinister are 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
2:11 pm
fair for black americans to say you know what i could consider the trump agenda made in america make america great again so we're here in the 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 their the movie about the moon landing and donald trump didn't know but 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 that from
2:12 pm
file it 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 mopp and r.t. new york donald trump has branded n.b.c.'s coverage dishonest claiming the channel deliberately made him look bad investigative journalist mikes blumenthal feels that
2:13 pm
news coverage is leaving people in the dark. 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 us 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 americans to be particularly well informed about foreign policy and what's happening on the ground in yemen or in palestine or latin america.
2:14 pm
the captain of the doomed space that failed of to take office spoken exclusively to aunty about his dramatic escape the likes of chin was forced to abort the mission just minutes into the flight along with us a student cake and he gave a firsthand account of what happens to want easy gets done. because i mean for us that's a double we saw moments inside the capsule when you were shaking heavily and there was a disruption in the signal was that the exact moment when you realized something had gone wrong when everything goes according to plan when the first stage is detached there is always this kind of vibration that you can see on the video images that's normal but after the first stage detached we felt those vibrations continue and then immediately there was the emergency signal going off there was a tough test for you and your family as well my family members after having gone through the situation the next time it will be more difficult for them to let me go on such a space flight because obviously they've been given
2:15 pm
a fright but on the other hand they are confident in our equipment and what we're prepared for anything can happen but this is our job we can't stop what we've done we need to move on your mother met you at baikonur when you landed what was the first thing you told her what did she say to you i told her not to worry when i said i was ok i said my health was in good shape i said look at me i'm walking and nothing is broken so don't be frightened you know and after she saw me with her own eyes she calmed down so that's how it was for your was his main flake need his care had with him from a personal point of view nick did very well throughout our one thousand minute flight from liftoff to landing little he did very well yeah acted in a professional manner and i believe our crew works very well together and i would like to take my next flight with nic keep it will have been trained to endure the pressure of seven g. acceleration what does that feel like what can you compare that to the gravity forces can go in various directions usually you feel the pressure on your chest and your back and you could compare it to
2:16 pm
a block of concrete put on your chest with seven g. it's a block seven times your weight if you weigh ninety kilograms it would be a weight seven times bigger lying on your chest. because the full version of that interview on our you tube channel. moving on rights group amnesty international has released a damning report on the quote deep denial by britain and the u.s. led coalition over civilian casualties during the anti eisel operation in the syrian city of record the u.k. ministry of defense still maintains its hundreds of a strikes in iraq are resulted in zero civilian casualties a statistical improbability it is completely reprehensible that the coalition refuses to acknowledge its role in most of the civilian casualties it caused or since the coalition campaign against i saw in syria and iraq began in twenty fourteen the u.k.'s carried out some seventeen hundred airstrikes two hundred fifteen of them on the city of rock are alone yet earlier this year britain's
2:17 pm
defense ministry admitted responsibility for just a single civilian death and british m.p.'s agree with amnesty that u.k. authorities are in denial during a strike to engage three daya fighters a civilian motorbike crossed into the strike area at the last moment and it was assessed that one civilian was unintentionally killed the government's assertion is part of a wider strategy of denial around the consequences of britain's military campaign in syria and iraq. or britain's defense ministry told us that the u.k. has provided details on each of their seventeen hundred strikes including operational briefings and confirmed when there was a civilian casualty added that its missions are carefully planned and aimed at minimizing the effect of military actions on civilians adding that it would prefer to have been involved in these research let's bring in a guest now i can speak to a political commentator jonathan shafi getting t.
2:18 pm
jonathan how plausible is this u.k. claim we're talking over a thousand airstrikes just one civilian died do you believe that information. well as you've just pointed out hundreds of straight seven seven hundred total but not only that the strikes are ticking police and very dangerously are been populations and so the idea that these bombing raids and hundreds of them have led to only one sort of civilian death i feigned to be inconceivable but what this is is part of our general strategy to cover up in some way people all over the canes of civilian casualties that are caused by u.k. action it's part of a weight of strategy i believe and amnesty international done well to point know. how likely is it do you think that the u.k. will properly investigate its airstrikes and any any claims of civilian casualties
2:19 pm
do you think that it's in the u.k. government interest to be investigating. well it's important to state that when it comes to these kane's of issues with those bombs it's coming to the question of those bombs actually killing people their new state wants to have them on their record not least in public and so along say the international response it's important to point out that all of iraq wars which makes these cases of issues transparent which does the work the investigation to bring this to public late how do. not been for these organizations then what we know about the situation all we would hear is the one sided story of the u.k. so it's in that and chose to ensure that they are seen to be in a situation where there. aren't causing civilian casualties that is inconceivable but it's very much in their interest to make sure that that's the kind of public imagination and this question. the defense ministry in britain insists that all of
2:20 pm
its attacks are meticulously planned that's something people will want to hear the public when they say that every cat has taken to minimize effects on civilians and civilian infrastructure but the realities in iraq are set in what eighty percent i think is estimated of the city was destroyed by the coalition how does that match up with meticulous. well this is of course something beyond the situation in iraq over here do the same the iraq war we had the same abode in afghanistan as well we hear over and over again that these strikes are meticulous strategic using the best technology that money can buy but in the end it's dropping bombs and explosives on densely populated civilian locations and as or so there's always going to be this huge backlash when it comes to civilians on the globe and they also have to say that you know the language this use that and us meticulous you often hear as well of course famously or infamously collateral damage in fact
2:21 pm
these are real people and if you read the reports coming out of iraq or there's a real anger in the we civilians that have been treated not least because there's not even an undertaking to have an investigation into how these theories were taking place. i'm as they have had an impact in the past following revelations of that as the united states accepted that perhaps they had been more civilian deaths because of their actions in iraq are do think that the u.k. might also follow suit and amend the numbers. they're says dependent on whether the tipping point comes whether tons enter situation where the u.k. feel that it looks even worse on their part not to accept that their actions have caused civilian deaths and it's at that point you may see some rolling back of the public lane when it comes to the yuki's view about these bombings and about that is all of them and that's why organizations like amnesty international not just in this situation but across
2:22 pm
a whole number of situations and theatres that we see across the world are so important there and the awards and many others are making sure that these issues are brought to public attention john thanks very much for your time this evening my guest and shafiq political commentator thank you. ok being transgender athletes facing a backlash after winning the cycling world championship rachel mackinnon who was born male came first in the race in los angeles on sunday becoming the first ever transgender woman to win gold in the competition but it wasn't just the plautus that greeted her achievement. 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
2:23 pm
eight year old's race to. rachel mackinnon denies the accusations saying she was forced to suppress the testosterone levels in accordance with the rules on transgender athletes we put the issue up for debate what i find strange is the human cried 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
2:24 pm
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 ended up growing 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 would. really richard's 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
2:25 pm
that athletes have for sprinters having fast twitch 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 biological factors may give a particular athlete the edge over others i certainly think there should be as far as trying to gender intersect situations. going further them out i think would be an enormous task of. god 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 or genetic attributes they could be included. the mayor
