so something i can't do. it only hosts a peace conference aimed at putting an end to the years long conflict in libya where the country's involved oil reserves not getting as a magnet to those vying for a share of the result. a u.s. judge ruled as a state prison service to consider a transgender woman's request to be held in an all female facility we put the issue up to debate prison is a tough place it's all everyone should be safe but that doesn't mean that should privilege should be granted to people who claim that they're transgender it's not appropriate for treatment it's about keeping these people alive and that is actually in the best interest of these are prison systems. and poland's president

marches alongside rightwing groups in warsaw to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of that country's response basement as an independent state. a very warm welcome you watching on t. international with me and he arun great to have you with us this hour now our top story heads of state leaders of local tribes on militias from libya are expected to attend an international conference in italy and a bid to solve the libyan conflict civil war broke out after the ousting of colonel gadhafi in two thousand and eleven france has also been trying to establish itself as a regional peacemaker though as more and galatea of explains there could be an old area motive behind the power in its good intentions seven years it's been seven. chaotic years of. country torn apart two governments countless warlords tribes

gangs duking it out for power and all will. of course everyone's trying to help stop this italy which has been flirting with general half star who needs one of the two rival libyan government and controls almost half the country fronts with its regular peace summit swear macrorie plays the matchmaker paris wants elections as soon as possible one of the crucial elements is the organization of presidential and parliamentary elections on december tenth twenty eight thus it's a commitment on the basis of this process to fully and safely give their sovereignty back to the libyan people me and allow them to express it on this date

. italy for one doesn't want elections premature they think conditions aren't right they say and france france wants something else they fear my fear is that someone for economic motives and selfish national interest is putting the security of north africa at risk and result of europe as a whole i'm thinking of someone who waged a war that should have been waged someone who said election dates without discussing it with allies with united nations were indeed with the libyan people move over mac all you tried and your summits failed room is hosting its own get together for peace but rumors say general haftar may be too busy to attend what with storming the capital and all tripoli must be liberated and will not remain in the wrong hands the armed forces will act after making proper

assessments we will move on tripoli at the proper time why is tripoli so important you might ask legitimacy it's the capital and the government that currently controls it is the un recognized one general have tub controls half the country much of the oil but he by international law can't sell it only the recognized government can he needs the capital and make no mistake the libyans understand well what the europeans are up to and why they're backing different sides. of course there is negative intervention from some countries which we've mentioned you're in several meetings and international forums this needs to be taken into account and this should be enslaved nation of the international position towards libya and the direction of libya so that we can overcome this crisis. libya has the largest proven oil reserves in africa and france one does much

as they can get italian or oil giant any recently purchased a large part of b.p. oil and gas license with the aim of increasing exploration friend trival totalis is . buying up drilling rights to get the pumps going this is a competition with the millions at stake b.p. is the largest producer was the largest producer of oil in africa and not only that but it's well it's highly prized because of its its technical quality is its so-called sweet low sulfur oil so it's highly prized in its refining is easier than some of the other stuff from other present at least serving ready once a problem as mr carriers area controlled all the oil that's the real question and not to be too cynical that's what the europeans are most concerned about originally

they were backing a group in tripoli just on the order of stability because it was recognized by the united nations but increasingly the europeans were getting very frightened. more strife in libya will further cut off their oil supplies especially now with the prospect of more sanctions on iranian oil what's remarkable is that i mean stool this and this war. slavery crime will production is on the up by the end of next year they plan on increasing production to. levels one point six million barrels a day you can question their priorities but you can only admire the dedication. well people we talked to in libya's capital tripoli expressed their skepticism that a positive outcome from the meeting would be achieved official owens i believe in which we want something useful we want

a productive meeting we want them to agree on something and then return to the libyan people and tell them that they're found a solution no one has found a solution. with regard to the conference there is nothing new happening the right solution is not wishful thinking but real concrete work a lot more than one who puts all the parties are the problem a conference to reach a solution because the people has suffered enough as you can see may god guide them and bliss gumtree the height of rudeness. and i think there is an undeniable conflict between the italian and french states over economic interests as well as over control and the image of the two countries. a us federal judge has urged prison officials in illinois to reconsider a transgender woman is denied request to be moved to a women's prison comes after the inmates took legal action against the state's correctional department claiming that she's treated like a sex slave in men's facilities twenty six year old dion strawberry hampton is

currently serving a ten year sentence for burglary she says she's faced sexual abuse in all four of the men's prisons she's been held in hampton has had her previous requests for transfer denied and argues that she would be safer in a women's prison her lawyer has praised the federal judge's intervention this is an important step not only for school but in general for transgender women imprisoned across the nation the department of corrections which is responsible for the supervision of inmates says it makes every possible effort to safeguard vulnerable prisoners. the illinois department of corrections maintains a strict a zero tolerance policy towards all forms of sexual abuse and sexual harassment the department carefully considers housing assignments and the unique needs of offenders who identify as transgender. well we discussed american present policy toward china stand a paper with right in front of

a fancy russians right and political commentator stephen walt. trumpet ministration recently loosened and changed regulations that came down under the obama administration they say that if you're if you're judged on what you are based on your biological sex ok so this person that we're talking about in chicago in the i would be judged a male under the trumpet ministration and the reason it was changed is because female prisoners in texas had a similar situation and they sued they didn't want a transgender male who said he was a woman coming to their prison they said it was an invasion of their property that you keep everybody safe but you don't start making accommodations special accommodations to gender dysphoria is accepted by the american medical association in american psychological association as distress from gender assignment at birth so this isn't just something that people are doing for fun this is a recognized medical condition based on science based on research and decent study

so it's very very important that we train these prison facilities better just like the entire society needs to be trained and more informed about the very specific issues that are affecting transgender people nationwide free looking around for seventy people twenty people how much money do you want to spend how many special provisions you want to make in a system that probably doesn't have enough money in the first place for twenty people you need to keep everybody say if but you can start making special provisions to anybody who says that they feel like they were women when they were met born a man could be classified as trans gender whether they mean it or don't mean it i mean you have to consider the masses as opposed to the twenty people involved. well that's a very very dangerous. mode of speaking i happen to be from what is referred to as a minority class and just because white people are in the majority does not mean that as an african-american or

a light next person that we should be subjected to white supremacy secondly it's hard for you to have seen a lot of the letter that you talking about what our earth are you talking about white supremacy if i could if i could just finish it's hard for me to have sympathy for the prison system not having enough money when they were able to donate hundreds of millions of dollars to the donald trump campaign all the time prisoners regular present men and men in male prison is all raped or attacked or pekin that's terrible so anyone that wants to transfer out they're going to get the same treatment as this transgender no they're not i mean prison is a tough place it's awful everyone should be safe but that doesn't mean that spec actual privileges should be granted to people who claim that they're transgender it's just not fair and instances of violence is not a a function of preferential treatment is a function of safety we also have special provisions for younger inmates we have special provisions for inmates who are proven to be suffering from mental health

illness it's not a preferential treatment it's about keeping these people alive and that is actually in the best interest of these prison systems who are using these people for cheap or free labor. but i'm a person on donald trump when on the heads of state attending well one commemorations in paris on sunday well the two didn't have an actual meeting and still managed to grab headlines but what was described as over a friend be body language during the whole can discuss their reaction without the america host it's going to you know he. and this time they're actually being a very tight lipped in fact this weekend that was something very uncharacteristic of a trumpet mystery of it is that we didn't have a lot of details we didn't have behind the scenes being leaked out to the new york times the washington post which it makes me think that possibly the leaks might have been locked down or more importantly we're talking about such serious issues that even those who might have legal the past realize that if they're not in the best interest of either country or any of the parties involved and it's always an

interest of course there was a lot of media speculation on both sides from from the american the russian side i mean the believe the president should lead you to said the reason why it didn't go ahead was pretty much out of respect for the french they didn't want this to happen . probably probably a good idea as we discussed i think it's a good idea but i think it's not only just out of respect for the french who are your hosts present more out of respect for the reason why they were here to honor the veterans across the world international they gave their lives up for world war one and all the conflicts going on i think it actually had been very inappropriate for president putin president to meet together and i think they actually showed very good respect for each other more important the soldiers that were being honored this weekend by choosing not to take the time attention away from them. they were there to commemorate now hundredth anniversary of the end of world war one so it does make sense that they were going to post on that meeting since they'll have another opportunity very shortly but the world is in

a serious situation now and we need to be speaking to each other country after country conducting the largest military exercises largest war games in decades and how this should not be forgotten the broader context is that the world is rapidly sliding into war again so the lessons of the commemoration of world war one day ghastly war that horrific war in which tens of millions of people died which upset the international order which paved the way to even more terrible things that were going to come we have to learn the lessons the problem is that our leaders don't learn the lessons of history through. ahead of armistice day donald trump criticized president mccrone over his proposal to create a european army calling it in seoul saying however in paris they glossed over any difference is agreeing that more defense spending is needed in europe r.t. france also flooded with putin for his view on that. alternative

military forces are not a new idea president micron has simply revived it europe is a large powerful economic unit and obviously it seeks independence and sovereignty in terms of defense and security i see it as a positive process in terms of strengthening the multipolar world. president putin also spoke to us about the pressure of various media are facing these days because . we have always heard from our western partners that one of the main principles of democracy is freedom of information creating lists and special counsel switch decide which media is bad and which is good this is unacceptable this has nothing to do with democracy. or back to his american counterpart now and it's right there for donald trump is it abroad it doesn't occur without some protests and paris was no exception.

a slight familiar to londoners here giant balloon depicting champ as a baby was seen flying over the french capital protesters planted them a gratian in foreign policies and said growing weary of the u.s. leader. chomper is a disgrace to america and we think that time does not represent american people he's a professional he's not somebody that i would look at you in any shape or form you know and he should perform i just think you know he's putting america germany he's got a french issue is a global issue and that's why we're here protesting he's not welcome here and he's no welcome anywhere obviously there are lots of other problems in the world and one of the things that's upsetting me about trump is that he's distracting us from these other issues facing the democratic republic of congo over the country's was the outbreak of ebola we're days houseboy you off this short break stay with us.

thanks guys are financed by the state media the girl i'd. love to visit this is the central plank support dying at the moment i don't call them right so stop. during the past thirty years lebanon has been subject to six invasions from israel . six invasions. breasted yeah every ugly over five years we are having. one that's and this is definitely going to see how that would.

be. welcome back a sea of red in warsaw as the polish capital marked independence day with a nationalist march two hundred fifty thousand people gathered on sunday with some chanting a wide and conflict poland and decrying america's empire of evil the country's president and government officials were there too alongside far right groups. oh oh oh oh oh oh. oh.

oh oh oh oh the. polish lying sound banners were drapes down streets and across squares it's also been reported that a number of neo nazi symbols were sports. and an e.u. frank burns there was a large police presence watching over the market which took place at the same time as a state military parade the government's decision to march alongside far rights nationalists has been widely criticized the march is more evidence of a rise in neo nazi sentiment in poland in october three polish teens photographed themselves making a nazi salute to the auschwitz constance concentration camp island a hundred jewish philosophy professor from the hebrew university in jerusalem told us the migrant issue is leading to the rise of nationalist sentiment in europe the polish government decided to actually embrace the. tendencies and.

ideologies of the past because. difference here from the immigration creates a bias a political bias and political agenda brings into a defensive approach towards the entire matter of the immigrant threats from the past are becoming the reality of the present and rising again but we must pay attention to the fact that today we have more reasons not only under simitis them but also what is going on with the european approach today to the border questions and to the immigration question. the un is warning of the rising death toll from an ebola outbreak in the democratic republic of congo the disease which causes entangled bleeding and spreads rapidly has already taken two hundred lives in a matter of months and the daily rate of new cases in the central african country more

than double in early october officials say it's the worst outbreak in the country's history according to the country's health ministry a vaccination program has so far in all collected about twenty five thousand people since the outbreak. started in august doctors say more lives could be saved if medical teams didn't face direct threats to their lives from armed groups active in the region. looks at how the mineral rich country is coping with the disease and they fly land and stability their new cell phone a necklace you just bought and a bowl of you might have forgotten the name of that deadly disease but there could be a connection between the three i'll explain in a sec this is the democratic republic of congo in the heart of africa that's where you find a lot of the pricey resources that the high tech and jewelry industries are after but who's in control of all that the legal extraction of me little's shot of cool

and landline is school violence in a number of regions in the democratic republic of congo it is that i did almost a billion dollars in revenue for rebels and criminal groups the country's politics has been a violent mess for over twenty years now adays a new a bowl outbreak is making things worse for locals in only a few months it took the lives of almost two hundred people the health ministry says they've never had to deal with outbreaks of that scale and with armed thugs running the show in parts of the republic doctors are losing confidence in their own efforts i do think this is one of the challenges we'll have to see whether we're able to contain control and the car now break within the current security situation after all even the brave us doctors don't want to risk their lives when they're under a constant threat of being taken out at times it's just physically impossible to reach the affected areas are harmed if we just look at the figures this is belgian

research center in this new dawn the tremendous effort to map mining sites as well as our presence and in their most recent report day i didn't find more than two towers isn't. mind inside eastern. gould being the most important ones with if i wanted to over eighty percent of my mates were working in gold and some gold is it's more difficult to control and about sixteen percent of the miners were in three chain mines and about haul of these miners in regularly treaty mine so so mine is covered by its keep program so that a good supermarket idea about the magnitude of the sector and some of the proportionally very small part that gets covered by international regulatory initiatives but as we've heard from the un top man business means money does find its way into the fighters hands well back in two thousand and ten in america this

law came into being and businesses were obliged to tell us if their products contained so-called conflict minerals from the democratic republic of congo reputation risks are to joke it comes out in a number of reports that are highlighted with the press on the companies that are doing little or no activity at all there is some companies that used to report that i no longer reporting and so there is no reputational risk for them to be seen as laggards and not doing enough to ensure that they are not fueling any of the conflict in the d.n.c. if we put bureaucracy nuts and bolts of side in april last year the legislation was basically suspended while some companies have kept playing by the old rules others could have found a handy loophole for themselves regardless of the big name brands in the

manufacturing companies that i would buy a cell phone or a computer or a car for i do have influence i care though. some of the richest companies in the world and they have the ability to work with their suppliers and work through their supply chain and have that assurance that they're not causing any deaths here destruction or violence against people you know or the planet. if you have something you'd like to say on any of our stories would love to harry so do get in touch by following us on social media and maybe your comments will be back in about thirty five minutes with the latest. in a world of big partisan model and conspiracy it's time to wake up to

dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten like hard times happy each day . eighty five percent of global wealth you long for the rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent is one of your some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars a i industrial but don't let the

numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one doesn't show you you know to miss the one and only. it's hard to imagine decades after the war a nazi doctor was still active and rich in the nineteen seventies great intel had as the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery at auschwitz a german company develops on the demise of drugs it was promoted as completely safe even during pregnancy and it turned out to have terrible side effects what has happened to my baby is anything paul you know she said is just the choice minix and i don't mind victims i have to this day received no compensation and never apologized for the suffering that i did not only want the money i want the revenge .
