fake stories and photo shopped images in an attempt to sow discord in the west and undermine institutions so could it be that this week wired to reason may pave the way for better relations between the two countries in any case that seem to place all the over this on through russian shoulders if that relationship is to improve and to become more open no mention of russian concerns around nato expansion of nato soldiers in places like poland and also what russia says is western meddling and destabilization in places like ukraine and still voters' concerns are addressed remains to be seen exactly what this speech will lead to in terms of bret's relations. the italian city has hosted an instructional peace conference on libya the north african nation has been torn apart by conflicts and instability since the overthrow of colonel gadhafi and twenty eleven the presidents

7:08 pm
negative intervention from some countries which we've mentioned during several meetings and it's a national forest this needs to be taken into account and this should be it can sleep over the international position towards libya and the direction of libya so that we can overcome this crisis. israeli airstrikes in gaza have killed at least three palestinians according to local health officials. during one of the raids the headquarters of the mass t.v. station was destroyed the moment of the strike was caught on camera the israeli military says another seventeen militant targets were hit the ad rates were in retaliation to cross border rocket fire israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has held imagine see me saying on the latest escalation the army has sent

7:12 pm
year so they say how does that work if we cut the jobs how do we then have enough staff to be able to teach the students here in france and they're angry i was speaking to one woman earlier who said we've been out protesting against macro now for the last eighteen months or so and sometimes we feel just spondon but we remember every time there's a protest that we have to come out we have to make all voices heard because she said this is the only way that she feels that they will ever be able to change some of the reforms that mark owen has been implementing rather rapid speed since he became president back in two thousand and seventeen so people here calling for a change they calling for mark want to listen to people in the streets they're saying that yes he had suggested what his reforms would be when he became president when he was elected but what they saying is that the pace of the reforms is chief fast and there is not enough discussion and they are angry about that and as such
7:13 pm
hundreds of come out to the streets. atika and to protest against those changes by the government here in france and in recent weeks we have seen of the protests protests by pension is unions of being now it's describing the government policy as breaking the social fabric and we also saw struck thick boots you know almost standstill in paris when paramedics went out in strike just a week ago. to . keep. more news after the break.
7:14 pm
you know world big booty. and conspiracy it's time to wait to dig deeper to get the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. 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. manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling class does protect themselves.
7:15 pm
we can all middle of the room. welcome back to. us federal judge has said prison officials in illinois to reconsider a transgender woman's denied requests to be moved to a women's prison it comes off to the inmate took legal action against the state's correctional departments claiming that she's treated like a sex slave in men's facilities twenty six year old stone strawberry hampton is currently serving a ten year sentence for a bagel way she says she's faced sexual abuse in all four of the men's prisons
7:16 pm
she's been held him how sin has how to previous requests for transfer tonight and argues that she would be safe in a women's prison her lawyer has praised the federal judges in the 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 efforts to safeguard and rebel prisoners that even though i department of corrections maintains a strict zero tolerance policy toward all forms of sexual abuse and sexual harassment the department who considers house in assignments and the unique needs of offenders who identify as johns gender we discussed american prison policy towards transgender people with rights activist anthony rochus rights and political commentator steve malzberg. trump administration recently loosened and change
7:17 pm
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 illinois though 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 are treating these prison facilities better
7:18 pm
just like the entire society needs to be trained and more informed about the very specific issues that are affecting transgender people nationwide free marketing about personality 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'd 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 he said i have seen
7:19 pm
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 president men and men and male prisoners all raped or attacked or pekin that's terrible so anyone that wants a 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 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
7:20 pm
in the best interest of these prison systems who are using these people for cheap or free labor. had said nato has voiced concern and the french calls to create a say a call to european army speaking as a foreign and then yan stealthing bank palace not to undermine transatlantic ties they have for increased even efforts on defense are important for the security of europe. it come make. stronger so i welcome this effort. but only if there are i think it would translate that partnership which has been the foundation for european peace and security for the postes seventy years. us to move forward on the fence in europe we should do so in order to strings the chance of
7:21 pm
a relationship. because. our laws play a central role in european security. this comes after a fiery exchange of words between the leaders of the u.s. and france last week president said europe needs to combine its defense is to protect itself from china russia and the u.s. in a tweet on friday president trump called those remarks insulting later on at a meeting in paris the french need to try to iron out the dispute telling president trump that europe needs to be less dependent on the west. its own firms who have the european security to be being assured just following the united states and we need a much better solution for you would you say are you sure you know what my attitude has been we want to go through what we were never where we can do it the best
7:22 pm
most efficient would be something that we both want. while to discuss this further we're now joined by other sundry samia and the rest of the latter sundra good to see you do you think that president micron was justified in calling for a true european army to defend against russia china and the us. well i'm not sure it's justified is the word i would say i would use i think he might be justified in asking for a much more independent european foreign policy which is not the same thing as an independent army. mostly for matters of religion the europeans are already having enough of a hard time coming up with the two percent that trump asked them to do to give to nato where would they find the money to create
7:23 pm
a new european. armed force that's my first concern. so if there is such a force eventually it does imply to me the erosion of nato and part of the dismantling of nato that's the only way this possible thing could work number two. i think the main point here was micron coming up with this idea well i think it has something to do with bricks that once the u.k. leaves the european union france will be the dominant. military power and with an imperial past in the european union so france sees the opportunity of micron seize the opportunity to establish itself as the head of this. alleged potential european military force creating. more or a number of new contracts for military for french military.
7:24 pm
equipment manufacturers which are among the most important in europe so there is definitely a logic from france's point of view for the move as you just mentioned any a c. think that countries would be able to afford this spending things that would be required to create the panel me. they would only be able to afford it if they got out of nato but i think most european countries don't necessarily want a new european. army most countries in europe really do not care to go to russia in fact that would rather have good relations with russia than bad ones so i don't think. the reasoning behind it to protect themselves and then from china to protect from china and china does not order europe and although it will be perhaps the us military superpower in the next twenty five to thirty years right now i believe china is much more of an economic threat than
7:25 pm
a military one so european force just seems like a waste of money which most european countries dealing with and trying to keep up with the demands of the euro zone system are not going to be concerned about what they want is more european union involvement in dealing with migration which is not so much of a military problem but in both a number of issues that is much more political and they demand more political will than military ones and afghan style to take suggested with the so called pan army and in my name in your opinion. well it would in the sense as i mentioned before if you find if you fund one big army and you can't fund the other so many and if you really want an independent european force micron hinted it would probably also challenge the u.s. because. one of the reasons that prompted my counterpart from the ones that suggest
7:26 pm
. this idea of the european army tried me on stronger sense and force hot new sanctions on iran and cancel the j c b o a deal which was benefiting europe i mean europe wants to business with the euro so i think that's where some of the impetus has come from. and then there are the usual one micron has proven it rather. difficult to read. president he's very ambitious on one side and then once the. present himself as the stall or. european enlightenment values so he has to decide where to go when if we look at the defense partnership between us in europe pouty think not change since president trump took office. well president trump
7:27 pm
actually. done a good thing in the sense he's european countries to really consider and think about their role in nato because he wants them to pay at least two percent which is a huge amount of money to two to four european countries struggling to keep up the wealth or state whatever's left of them which made europe such a dire place to live in particularly in the sixty's and seventy's so. in some ways the americans perhaps have always envied this side of europe which has a much more developed social democratic model. but also buffers to be too much of. a bigger so a bigger middle class perhaps. we. can. appreciate your comments on this under brunei senior analyst at long last to thank you. thank you
7:28 pm
so much top stories you can visit all ttyl com we'll have the latest world news and say two minutes time to see that. it's hard to imagine decades after the war a nazi doctor was still active and rich in the nineteen seventies grid until had as the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery at auschwitz a german company develops a little mite a drug that was promoted as completely safe even during pregnancy. it turned out to have terrible side effects what has happened to my baby is anything paul you know she said is just cut short arms minix

a little mind victims i have to this day received no compensation they never apologized for the suffering that i've not only want the money i want the revenge. what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to be like the blue cross that's what the four three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of our. last question.
