to be punished. the united states does have a very good friendly culture whereby if a multinational national company has been guilty often selling negative product or rich trail products without sufficient safeguards then they will perish because previously been cases in the united states where a building collapse has resulted in damages of around about $230000000.00 to be distributed to the victims and residents and that tragedy i believe there's a 2 year limitation period in the united states that action must be tremendous but for 2 years expires otherwise the limitation act would rule any action outside of their limited jurisdiction of the u.s. so it is a necessity to safeguard their legal position and at the end of the day the question is are the individuals in ground so much stuff that so much going to get you to real benefits for those of their families who have been bereaved people who are

10:11 am
disembark it's what he's been after since his appointment last year and he has supporters too it's not as though the italians acted without probable cause there is much truth through reporting that every year of investigation preceded the arrest including videos witness statements don't develop the picture mrs rescuing people from drowning is b.s. propaganda rescue them and take them to germany it is quite convenient to rescue people and leave them initially greece cetera we have enough migrants we do not want any more sheen able the trafficking of people that's illegal she is responsible for the so-called refugee crisis there is a clear split within the e.u. over how to tackle the migrant crisis and while they see it undecided on whether to assist or hanged the flow of migrants into europe captain pierre clem could be losing her battle at sea and on. refinish nazi reporting from germany.
10:12 am
the l g b t community has hit out at the vatican for its latest guidance that questions the existing principles of gender identity the paper is meant to be a bid to tackle what the catholic institution calls an educational crisis foskett taylor delves into the reason for the sudden outrage over rhetoric the vatican has been insisting on for so long. now you'd be forgiven for thinking the catholic church doesn't really know what turns the public on and you'd be right in fact it's just dealt a mosque to class and turning people off the vatican has released a paper which says there are only 2 genders male and female and it's called male and female he created them just so that was no misunderstanding if we wish to take an approach to the question of gender theory that is based on the path of dialogue is vital to bear in mind the distinction between the ideology of gender on the one hand and the whole field of research on gender that the human sciences of one's taken on the other so according to the catholics men are men and women are women
10:13 am
and anyone who sees themselves otherwise is provocative and poses a threat to the institution of marriage and seeks to overthrow nature itself unsurprisingly it's head up you know note amongst those who are outraged to find that anything you want gender theory other than that of course exists by refusing to engage in dialogue with people about their lived experiences or so from the standing in faith the vatican remains in the dark ages for most in a false teaching that relies on myth rumor unfold so the paper is not popular partly because it sounds like it's from the time before christ which it is it's filled with quotes from the bible after all and because it was released during pride month the 30 days every year the world celebrates the l g b t community quit but wait no where in the paper does it say being gay is sinful and in fact it condemns any discrimination and violence against people the number of men and women who have deep seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible they must be accepted
10:14 am
with respect compassion and sensitivity every sign off and just destroy a nation in their regard should be avoided now it's surely not news to outrage friends that the church struggles with accepting homosexuality and transgenderism and when they do throw in that 2 pennies worth met the by. as huge as one bishop in rhode island planned when he decided to chat to his few on pride month a reminder that catholics should not support or attend t.q. pride month of vents held in june they promote a culture and encourage a t.v.s. that are contrary to catholic faith and morals. it seems the people who replied must of left the christian values of kindness out the door we woke up this morning and we saw the bishops tweet and we were honestly flabbergasted he is like the don't trump of the catholic church goes on twitter and spews out hate my catholic children will be attending pride events as this.
10:15 am
guy always taught me what would jesus do yeah i know jesus would be attending that pride parade with also with pride and i also know that god is love and jesus is love and love is love the bishop apologized and decided to spread the love but the question begging to be asked is why the surprise kids the church isn't known for being big on reform is it really shocking it's not breaking it's happen it's a pun intended coming up the british domestic intelligence service and my fire is in hot water over hoarding citizen's data all the details after this short break. you know world of big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up
10:16 am
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 on the 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. we are in a strange situation where everybody is making a lot of noise about military action against iran but nobody in the part of that alliance actually wants to do it there's no desire for it and so do you hope that iran makes a mistake and somehow. and then does it some kind of confrontation and then the iranians will be forced to come to the table you know begging for some kind of solution on american terms but you know i think that is dreaming that's
10:17 am
a pipe dream. welcome back british internal security service m i 5 is under fire for illegally holding on to bulk data collected on citizens the situation came to light during a case brought by civil rights group liberty. m i 5 have been holding on to people's data on ordinary people's data your dates on my data illegally for many years not only that they've been trying to keep their really serious error secret secret from the security services watchdog who's supposed to know about them secret from the home office secret from the prime minister and secrets from the public during the trial it emerged a life i was already aware of the failure 3 years ago r.t. is picks up the story. well there might not be a plaque on the door but even google maps will tell you that that building over
10:18 am
there is m i 5 britain's domestic intelligence agency and even though its job is to root out the bad guys the agency itself has been accused of extraordinary and persistent illegality in a high court case the case against m i 5 now relates back to a law that was passed in the u.k. in 2016 the investigatory powers act back then the new legislation was sold as something that would create transparency in the wake of the snowden scandal which had revealed that the u.s. and its allies including the u.k. had been collecting vast troops of public data but the investigatory powers act quickly became dubbed the snoopers charter privacy campaigners claim it simply legalized the practices that snowden had exposed and introduced intrusive new powers. there is however
10:19 am
a government watchdog that's meant to oversee the u.k.'s sweeping surveillance laws and according to documents revealed in court that watchdog the u.k.'s investigative powers commissioner has delivered a highly critical assessment of m i 5 in particular over m i 5 storage of cracked public data in one letter presented in court m i 5 acknowledge that personal data collected by m i 5 was being stored in ungoverned spaces. there is a high likelihood of material being discovered when it should have been deleted in a disclosure exercise leading to substantial legal or oversight failure back in may britain's home secretary sajid javid revealed that compliance risks had been identified with how and why 5 handled data the report of the investigatory powers commissioner's office into these risks concluded that they were serious and
10:20 am
required immediate mitigation the commission also expressed concern that m i 5 should have reported the compliance risks to him sooner the court case which is ongoing also revealed that the government watchdog would be subjecting m i 5 to far greater scrutiny from now on comparing it to a school being placed on special measures which is the government's equivalent of the naughty step. police in moscow say they have arrested some 200 people at an unsanctioned rally in support of investigative journalist iran and north who was freed from house arrest on wednesday at least a 1000 people are said to have taken part in that march all charges against all of have been dropped him been accused of illegal drug possession with the intent to distribute and what he claimed was a top trumped up case or his journalistic activities because all of reports pulled from the looks of it there are a few dozen people still left here chanting political slogans the initial showing
10:21 am
numbers was at around 1200 people these are the official figures now some 200 of them have been arrested have been detained by the police not just the artists offense here you do it is also people just minding their business and even celebrating because it is russia day it is a national holiday so a lot of people are just out and about having their phone and this is this is what the local authorities are citing as the main reason for refusing to put this particular date for the march now the last you. says it to move with a few days in the calendar to this sunday even the organizers who had announced this meeting before we bungle enough was police from only west i believe everyone who work only to attend needs to show up in the state to show up on sunday on the politically bungling often self he's not here yesterday he said that he doesn't intend to attend for more than
10:22 am
a 1000 people they have been saying that it is big it is larger than just one man and so now all sorts of political slogans you can be heard being chanted here stuff like affordable mortgages so clearly the participants are turning this protest into a big thing last week a fun goal an open investigative journalist was arrested in central moscow and he was charged with attempting to sell drugs but from the outset the the case was written with holes and there were put there were plenty of things police didn't have the answers for for instance of angolan of tested negative for any drug consumption he his fingerprints were nowhere to be found on the ziploc bags containing the drugs that were alleged to be found in his apartment so initially the judge sentenced him to house arrest but the case fogs massive truly massive social outrage and it wasn't just people or activists it were journalists also major russian. support for van gogh in office and eventually all charges wardrobe's
10:23 am
just yesterday all charges were dropped and he was released he is a free man. these are a few who are here i hope the investigation will continue and no one will find themselves in the same situation that i happened to be in trouble. this expression thanks a lot aaron for his support thank you but now i need time to come to terms with what's happened. russia is a minister of internal affairs he wants to fire 2 generals who have been implicated in the case and he has already said he will be asking for. permission to do that by law he is required to do so he can't fire those people you know lucky and in general russia's authorities have been watching this case very very closely in fact they're still saying that they expect more answers they expect more explanation
10:24 am
from the people from the investigators and from people who slapped angolan of the charges in the 1st place. the whatsapp messenger service plans to sue users who abuse its platform saying also use what it calls after that from information as evidence against them what's up we'll take legal action against those we determine are engaged in or assisting others in abuse even if that determination is based on information solely available to us of our platform of platform information includes public claims from companies about their ability to use what's up in ways that violate our terms among the worst of offenses that could lead to legal action are sending abusive messages automated orbach messaging and using the out for non personal use like advertising whatsapp has been waging war on its abusers the beginning in 2009 the messenger uses machine algorithms to identify any violation
10:25 am
of its terms and claims to issue over $2000000.00 bands per month but now will start using our platform data as well though it doesn't say how it collects this the specter of possible legal action against users has seen some vow to quit the platform. i don't use what's up but there ain't no way in hell i'd use it now just when i thought privacy scandals were enough for me to abandon facebook apps i don't like what's up which some of my friends would get off it switch to some of the trustworthy apps out there anything owned by things book microsoft google etc is not what it's advertised to be what's up so these measures are aimed at keeping it user safe but a privacy activist and technology expert told us the company is going too far. they've already been criticized for some of their exists existing tactics where they sanction people without necessary process i think is terrible enough for them
10:26 am
to extend this applying and seeking potentially to ban people from evidence gathered elsewhere outside their platforms is taking things a little bit further i think we have concerns on many different levels here not only do we have privacy concerns of looking at what individuals are saying and their personal information but also we have the right to freedom of speech and freedom of expression and you wouldn't want to impose draconian measures that would impinge on these rights one of the things that we need to guard against is mistakes make and made either by the a.r.u. or the mistakes in the identification of the perpetrator because the identity may have been mall store or falsified in some way and therefore without an appeals process we're looking at the potential for real damage and real miscarriages of justice. police have used tear gas water cannon and pepper spray against protesters

in hong kong or lawmakers have delayed voting on a controversial bill after tens of thousands took to the streets the bill would enable the semi-autonomous region to extradite suspects to mainland china but activists say that would feed too much control to beijing and encroach on hong kong special status they fear politically motivated extraditions china argues the bill is needed to prosecute crimes by hong kong residents on the mainland humor shops banks and companies gave their workers the day off to protest on wednesday last sunday over a 1000000 people in hong kong protested the same issue. that's a wrap up of the day's top news for now thanks for tuning in. i.

am. quantitative easing for q.e. 4 is now well under way can't taper a ponzi scheme no economics matters only money printing and stock manipulation. why a paradise with so much all year round turned into a round the experimentation field the agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants there's no question otherwise
10:29 am
why would that the chemical company workers themselves be geared up that suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments but often in day you have many of these people one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of environmental research going on in hawaii whether these companies feel they can get away with this because the people have less political power.
