9:19 pm
a date rape drug in her blood the woman's lawyer is that this she was forced to return to peru where she couldn't stand the burden of what had happened to her the case will now be heard again at another court there was much anger online about the latest ruling i guess you need to lead the men never get free since they're all masculine in theory anyway while done in italy i had no idea that masculine women were not deserving of dignity this is what rape culture looks like judges in italy have ruled it can't be raped because the victim isn't pretty enough. tristan model powerless alania believes the case demonstrates why many women don't report rape to the police. this whole situation is disgusting and absolutely unacceptable you know. in this day and a true warsaw are to make progress for women rights and when c. whistle and the state police jockey gates are much more war there is needed someone

we put the issue up for debate with social and environmental justice campaign a jeweled balata and former republican state senator john loudon. the important thing from my point of view is that as a point of principle the idea that we try in bring in the real well understood costs of meat eating to human health to the planet we bring that into the comic calculation i think that clearly makes sense one thing a tax would do is as we know is make people more poor i mean we know that in the united states we typically except in most states not california that taxation is supposed to be about raising money to operate government change people's behavior if you're going to go down the road of taxing things to change behavior then we make enemies of our neighbors or people in america and europe there are billions of dollars of negative health impacts from from meat consumption but what we're

9:24 pm
have it's hugely destructive to the health of the united states i mean it's you would really struggle to find a single medical professional these days that wouldn't agree with the fact that we need to reduce we need to reduce our consumption of meat and dairy to gathered for a march through the country's capital a counter protest in support of opposition leader and self-proclaimed president one quiet i was held as well quite i dressed his supporters in the northern city of valencia as part of his tore through a country suffering an economic and political crisis as leader of the opposition controlled national assembly he promised to deliver a better life for citizens claiming that his movement is stronger than ever meanwhile even outside of fund as well as some people are expressing their support for president madeira. in washington hundreds rallied outside the white house to protest against the u.s.
