the u.s. . $1000.00 troops to the middle east as tensions with iran continue to rise this comes after washington accused of orchestrating the recent attacks. in the gulf of oman. a new social media platform set up by a controversial psychologist jordan peterson. he says it will not any. u.s. courts. people in the public sector are not allowed to wear religious symbols at work anymore but rights activists say the new law violates religious and personal freedom.

this is an international. and united states has ordered an additional 1000 troops to the middle east as relations continue to worsen with iran secretary of state my pump aoe says the deployment is being made for defensive purposes and not. mean his commander in chief wants war. but we are there to deter aggression present trump does not want war and we will continue to communicate that message wall doing the things that are necessary to protect american interests in the region the responsibility for diplomacy achieving the strategic outcomes the president trying to set forth falls on all of us but the state department as the 1st or the water on that but we can't do that without making sure that we have the capability to respond if iran makes

a bad decision earlier my colleagues. have discussed the significance of the deployment. the step itself isn't entirely significant but there have been so many steps leading up to this less than a month ago a $1500.00 more troops was sent to the middle east they had strategic bombers stationed in the middle east additional strategic bombers they had ph it and t. ed defense system station in the middle east carrier battle group last time they justified it by saying that there was an imminent credible threat from groups that would go in to attack us personnel in the middle east we of course never saw any evidence is all classified this time they've offered videos and photographs apparently showing that the united states is correct and that iran was behind recent attacks and will tankers in the gulf of oman iran of course denies all of this and says that we've seen these reports before the united states blaming other

countries things that are very questionable they're saying that the united states is trying to sink diplomacy and at the end of the day they say if they wanted to shut down the persian gulf and all the oil flowing through it they just do it regarding the new incidents in the persian gulf republic of iran decides to block exports of war through the strait of hormuz it is militarily strong enough to do go out and publicly give us a sense of the international reaction to this house of playing out what are people saying when it comes down or are they siding with just one side or is it more nuanced than that well iran's traditional rivals enemies if you want saudi arabia and israel. of course backed the united states over these claims over these allegations they're willing to stand by the united states in case of an escalation but almost every doubts russia china the european union have taken this. with

a deuce of skepticism. sober assessments and wait for some credible evidence. to be presented with it is because ridiculous decided secrets in this case ready in the last days we called for the maximum restraint the world cannot afford another surprise especially in an area like that. we call it all parties to remain rational and restrained not to take any action yes collation of tension in the region and not to open a pandora's box there might be the odd trump supporter voted for him and 2016 on the back of him saying you know our adventures in the middle east were going to come to a close it's costing too much money too many lives but yet the trouble are seemingly doing the same thing present donald trump came to power by criticizing his predecessors by saying that enough is enough we should pull out of the middle east out of afghanistan that we're sinking manpower resources human lives into conflicts we don't need to be in i happen to think it was the worst decision made in the

history of our country going into the middle it's like quicksand it was a terrible decision terrible nevertheless all the evidence that donald trump is being shown with regards to iran for example all of it classified maybe nuff to sway him but it isn't enough to sway other countries including more to do in syria want to bring our troops back home to place one crazy they want to keep that they want the u.s. people here in why she wanted they never want to leave some day people will explain why this is a hero to have you do have a group and they call it the military just a couple so. remains to be seen where the situation goes from here but so far it's just been an escalation of the escalation we also discussed the situation with a member of the hamilton coalition to stop the war and stone who believes washington is still set on changing the government in tehran. the u.s.

has never forgiven iran for overthrowing the shah its puppet shop 40 years ago and it fully and intends to achieve regime change in iran and to put back another shop on the throne in tehran iran is not a compliant state from the point of view of the us rulers of the us empire such as trump and pompei oh they don't look at us as a distance on a map they look at the map as their own map as their their own playground and they don't intend to broke any disobedient regimes and that's what this belligerent statements and actions in the gulf are all about there is a difference between the 2 spokespeople for the us here on pay on the one hand trump on the other i don't know how anybody could believe anything that the us says at this present moment. there are concerns about america's military activities on

the climate front as well a new report by a leading us university has claimed that the pentagon is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions its output in some cases surpasses that of whole countries breaking down the findings here is done a quarter with commentary. forget single use straws and plastic bags there's a much bigger problem wreaking havoc on mother nature its war the pentagon's wars to be exact i 59000000 metric tons of greenhouse gases that's how much the u.s. defense department spewed into the atmosphere in 2017 alone brown university says the d.o.d. is both the largest oil consumer and institutional polluter in the world there are

entire countries that don't emit as many fumes portugal finland and sweden to name a few how is that possible while the u.s. military does have a presence in over $150.00 countries it's $560000.00 buildings worldwide make up 40 percent of its greenhouse emissions the rest is from military operations which in 2016 used up 86000000 barrels of fuel that's in afghanistan pakistan syria you get the picture and it's not like americans are electing people who understand wars environmental impact the department of defense must do more than simply acknowledge take piecemeal action to address climate change while it's increasingly threatens in homs oh militaries the infrastructure and operations even the pentagon itself says it's worried about climate change the facts of the changing climate are a national security issue with potential impacts to department of defense missions

operational plans and installations the top brass might say they're concerned but their words certainly are not matching their actions in fact the u.s. military budget may see its 5th consecutive year of growth in 2020 despite spending more than the next strongest military combined the d.o.d. is not cutting back it's actually preparing for more military ventures and considering u.s. iranian tensions are escalating in the persian gulf there are few signs of any turning back. the last 4. major national security threats that both have all of them identified. as being one of those huge threats and yet it soon activities are leading to exacerbate that there is this serious threat to global security i didn't buy the pension which is common and yet rather than doing anything serious to. problem miter expenditures do

seem to be oriented towards crewdson global insecurity climate change and in many other ways. the device of canadian professor and author jordan peterson has announced he is launching a new platform called think spot and it is based on a single idea no censorship he says the side will only remove content if ordered to do so by the authorities despite not yet being fully up and running it is already causing a stir. if they won't 7 let you in the club just to set up your own that's the philosophy behind a brand new anti censorship social media platform that's hitting the web this summer i think spot will be an intellectual playground for censorship free discourse that's according to its founder controversial academic and best selling author jordan peterson the canadian professor is

a divisive figure hated by the left and de a fide by the right earlier this year he was snubbed by the most intellectual of british institutions cambridge university he was supposed to have a visiting fellow ship this sort but that offer was rescinded after a backlash from star students this was jordan peterson's response to the decision at the time what do you think it says about free speech in britain that cambridge university made an announcement this week saying they were going to invite you to speak i don't think it says more about the nature of the universities in general than about free speech in general i mean i don't see all that my decision been taishan has compromised more in free speech ability because i have so many platforms on which i can discuss my ideas according to peterson's latest video think sport will be a subscription service where controversial creators will be able to monetize their

free speech once you're on our platform we will take you down and list were ordered to by a us court of law that's the idea so we're trying to make an anti censorship platform one of the b. to test is of the site will be anti feminist you tube or call benjamin his you tube channel saga on of a cat was recently downgraded after he made offensive comments about raping a brit. politician he was also banned from crowdfunding site patriot last year olds right poster boy milo yet not police suffered the same fate for jordan peterson and his community patriarch actions to block these prominent commentators was the final straw doesn't look like moving to an alternative provider an alternative commercial product provider that's out of or bailiwick out of our

control is going to be viable critics argue that an anti censorship platform could in practice turn into a safe place for extremists and the person who most publicly to test the platform is somebody who's not only joked about raping somebody but then doubled down on it saying well if i was junk enough maybe i would you know this is this man is very dangerous because i mean he's interested much overlap with mine and i mean to student of you and many others that you and pizza is interested in but because he has that learning and speak some sense this is a good american but very to support the creation of peterson's think spot say that western society need somewhere to exchange ideas without fear of reprisals and clampdowns the major point that we have to defend and cultivate prioritize wedding gaging and the robust discussion in public life is that no situation

anywhere as an adult is free of risk in that we enter into these things to try and get something out of it it's hard to argue with the numbers alternative thinkers like jordan peterson and the rest of his self-styled intellectual dark web have attracted millions of subscribers that suggests that audience is all gagging for their free speech barrows not to be gagged. the canadian province of quebec has passed a controversial new law banning public so. and positions of authority from wearing religious symbols at work while makers say the legislation aims to ensure the separation of state and religion and allow for the provision of secular public services the change affects government employees including judges teachers and police officers and applies to symbols such as he jobs turban skullcaps and across those inspectors will also be tasked with ensuring they are not being worn although

the legislation reportedly enjoys broad support in the province critics have blasted it as a violation of their basic rights the prime minister has once again suggested that quebec's values are incompatible with fundamental rights the 16th of june 21000 is a very said date that has just entered the history books of quebec a date that will forever mark a vision of quebec that divides rather than brings together that excludes rather than includes that stigmatizes rather than reconciles will there be police officers going off the people to check if they have religious signs we don't know it's not clear we didn't even have time to analyze his modification clearly they did it in a very undemocratic way you heard the views of our guest panel on the possible implications of compacts on change. i got to say i mean sikhs should be able to wear their turbans and carry their daggers and the idea of banning in yemen is absurd but even in any environment whatsoever including policing but i kind of

agree with them on the burka i mean if you can't see the person that you're speaking to it that's just not compatible with western culture we had a case in new york city where there was a fellow who was working on subway he was a sikh and he wanted to wear his turban under osha and safety rules he said you have to wear a hard hat he thought they were being unfair in that particular case you could make a point but if somebody says you cannot wear a yarmulke koofi because it might be antagonistic that i think we don't look and see where there is fish possible to allow people to enjoy the free exercise of their religion and to be serving the public at the same time to make sure that this is not some attempt just to thora their religion using so that of a pretextual reason there are 2 sides to this debate aren't there antonia's as you clearly see what are your thoughts on this in my experience especially in

a city like windsor where you have a significant amount of people who exhibit exterior signs of religious belief i counted discover to my big surprise then sometimes even at symbols of religiosity whether they are that you or and or we are pressing care naturally reflect religious belief but more and to the statement this came up in many conversations i had with my students and i wonder. if this mind around their various opening up some sort of box that is then was can be const through the religious symbol antennas come up with quite a few interesting points there and having been to windsor myself you see full diversity and when the denny antonio and healthier seem to rub along quite nicely there and that doesn't seem to probably average how can this little. be passed in

a country that has braced immigrants. i think we have to differentiate between quebec and canada i lived there for 10 years and it's not canadian in fact in co back they they call canada kak canada because there's so much animosity they had a referendum where they almost voted to separate and and in come back they talk about 2 lane pure wall and it's not an open province you can to emigrate if you don't speak french your children have to go to french schools and if you have a sign that says joe's shoes bigger than show still do joe they have actual language police they come by with polaroid cameras and you get a fine now they've managed to maintain a culture where their accent is 100 years old and they're nothing like the rest the country they're nothing like france french people can't understand them so they've managed to maintain this bubble eventually you're going to come across as a fascist you can't have it both ways so yeah i think you just drop it at the

facial veils i have to be able to see your face but you're right if you if you start banning sikhs turbans then you ban the cross around the neck then you start banning that little fish bumper sticker that christians have it's a slippery slope what if it's a nun a catholic nun mother teresa that's a different story that they all look we could talk some man takes all day long you know now and i know what this is all about come back is a little bit of an island it's a little bit different to a certain cases and i do believe there is a mixture of. this. attempt at crisler being the uniqueness of back problems with. very candidly whole. issue we all know about and it's probably about controlling or trying to how can i say dress

a sort of immigration situation i doubt this without cocked up. even if true the story. makes sense well looks like ukraine is set to receive hundreds of millions worth of military aid from washington the full story coming up in just a few months. starting really in the 1980s under reagan and thatcher and deregulation you had the fed takeover and their sole purpose at that point was to try to squeeze workers' completely out of the global economy so wages never went up real terms sensed that but stock markets keep going up and the reason to justify this is that the fed will say we need to try to take care of deflation even know that they are causing

deflation in an environment where their money printing is increasing the debt. seems wrong. just don't hold. any gold yet to shape out to stay active. and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back this is our 2 international high speed of suicides in the ranks of the n.y.p.d. has been described as a mental health crisis by new york city's police chief. depression is real and

people need to understand that this is that ok i don't feel i don't feel myself i feel down i'll bring myself out of it sometimes it's a downward spiral that unless there is intervention from the outside it's not going to stop and something bad is going to happen you need to talk to someone. in the latest case a respected 29 year old detective committed suicide outside his precinct after 6 years on the job 3 officers have now killed themselves in the space of 2 weeks in new york the city's police have urged those suffering from mental health issues to seek help from find friends and colleagues stressing it is not a sign of weakness one nonprofit organization which collects data on places science says the number of officers who have killed themselves nationwide is higher than those who die in the line of duty it also says the worrying trend has been on the rise since 2016 we spoke to a former us police officer about the intense demands of the job. police officers are the single most treasured tested men and women on the planet everything they're

doing is criticized by the public their personal problems are being criticized by their off families and then their behavior on both calls which is a mixture of both personal and private or private and professional actions are being criticized by the command staff the public doesn't understand the pressure that the street for the 1st responders do and that goes all the way it's up to the detectives but for the most part it is it's a basic concept that these men and women are in a daily pressure cooker from every single angle of their lives and they have no they have no escape from that the. united states has announced it will provide ukraine with a $250000000.00 military aid package the move has been welcomed by kiev which since 2014 has been battling an insurgency in the east of the country. the current security assistance package includes the provision of both non-lethal and lethal

defensive weapons to a state with a separate focus on supporting the naval forces of the armed forces of ukraine sniper rifles and rocket propelled grenade launchers are among the items lethal and nonlethal to be provided to ukraine by the pentagon u.s. and has said the move reaffirms the country's long standing defense relationship you know it's meant comes after a reported spike in fighting along the front line in the donbass region in recent days the conflict has left around 13000 people dead since it erupted more than 5 years ago security analyst charles troubridge thinks the aid has the potential to aggravate the conflict but what we've got here is again as well as previously released on one occasion previously we've got lethal weaponry being provided as well and of course that was resisted by obama and his administration him fearing i think that this would exacerbate the situation rather than actually improve it and

that these weapons marches defensive of course almost all defensive weapons can be used offensively but in terms of the politics of this i think it's quite. significant because of course you've got a new recently elected president and of course it was part of the election campaign that he would like to see a reduction of tensions with russia and of course an end to the very catastrophic war that has taken place in the east of his country but on the other hand he's also made it clear in recent weeks that he's going to still stand very much with the west and allied to the u.s. and of course in a way those statements are now being rewarded perhaps with the continuation of this program. or that does it for me i'll be back in 34 and a half minutes with a look at your news watch march international.

it's hard to take some from somebody if you know have someone replacing. we want to do this interview today i had all these markets open that may take me. off the area. so i'm going to tell you stop selling drugs if we'll hear something put the money in it back. then just me all the way in life it's almost been basically a color space for the worse do you guys know what sickened me security positions i've been in that day were jack me again. you see people get all their cars and i'll see you coming in the harness seems like they'll hurry up and run into the house like they don't want to they don't want to talk to your get your mail or anything like that.
