threats from supporters of alexandria because you. like. it is just a again this time from washington d.c. to talk about socialism because socialism let me think socialism actually short 1st social media. very well welcome you're watching r.t. international with mina caring. person is different this ministry has launched an investigation into why and how a trove of top secret documents apparently ended up in a rubbish bin in london it comes as a huge embarrassment for the u.k.'s top secret chemical weapons facility porton down from where the thousands of files originated reports. one man's trash another journalist's treasure in this case it is quite an extraordinary story the
2:02 pm
daily star newspaper is called big splash on it today they say they were alerted to this trove of documents found in a bin by a member of the public last week and this secret files were dumped in a north london we leave in a receipt killing bin to be precise the kind that sort of stands out on the street outside a residential building or a commercial one and people will waste inside it except that this wasn't wasted it was a massive hole thousands of pages reportedly detailing the past and home address of one. details of the patrol offices. there at portadown and the newspapers quoting all sorts of unnamed security sources talking about how appalled they are at this breach of security that's taken place
2:03 pm
one referred to all this as a terrorists dream and it could have only ended that it could have ended in a contest strophe they were commenting there are calls for an inquiry now and the ministry of defense has already responded to the story with this statement take a listen we take the protection of personal data very seriously and we have a range of procedures in place to do so including complying with the data protection act we also expect 3rd parties who legitimately hold data to apply similar strict protections we can confirm that an investigation has been launched into the alleged incident and the reason this is raising eyebrows is because porton down is a top secret government chemical laboratory is at the front line of the fight against biological and chemical weapons and the government conducts extensive research that. into all sorts of substances it was in the news quite
2:04 pm
a bit last year because it was the thora tea that determined what the substance which substance it was that was used in the poisoning of the gay and. that was a huge scandal which saw the british government accused russia of orchestrating the attack against the double former double agent and his daughter but porton down really coming to the fore then and it was pivotal in determining the nerve agent was novacek that was used against the 2 and of course it is just such a secret that it's in charge of some pretty hazardous materials so the fact that any documents have been disposed a of from a government site in this way found in a london been 70 miles away from the facility itself will be of concern to both the ministry of defense and to intelligence services. i think
2:05 pm
portadown should invest in a shredder personally. from a british diplomat craig murray thinks the porton down incident raises fresh questions about the script poisoning. we were told at the time of the alleged attack on the skipper of that security is extremely tight at portadown and it's impossible that the chemical could have come from there we have met too quickly that i think charlie goalie one of the people affected in the 2nd so-called novacek incident whose girlfriend dawn sturgis died he has confirmed for certain that the per fume bottle he found in a charity bin was sealed he has also stated that he used to give early to go to bid to take things and that the bin was empty so the whole story falls apart event
2:06 pm
2nd bottom of the chalk was not there there by whoever attacked the script plainly perforce of the so-called novacek is not the 2 directions who came over. in march and the source must be some wealth and the obvious source of novacek to solve that it is porton down where they have manufactured it for testing purposes. outgoing gear commission president john close younger has criticised the way his likely successor has been picked by block leaders addressing the media in the finnish capitol hill think he compared the way he and s. levein the lion were nominated. very transcript. but the process. which led to my nomination in 2014 was very transparent because we
2:07 pm
had looked at the dates everyone knew what was up if this. would be the shortest power to dupe in parliament it's a vision to come back to what unfortunately didn't become a tradition ursula on the line is behind these comments and how she's being nominated for the position of european commission president to take over from steps down at the end of october she's really split opinion with this nomination it you see from the european council at the heads of government of the 28 member states of the e.u. domestically her record as defense minister has been raked over quite extensively with many people pointing out the state of germany's military at the moment is well at its lowest ever that it's been for a long time the bull does bear quite often being the butt of many jokes about planes that don't fly that don't fire boats that don't sail in submarines that can't submerge all the european level though it's been a big criticism of the way in which she was nominated for the position because who
2:08 pm
doesn't have the right to ignore all the candidates that have been voted for by european citizens the future of europe can no longer be decided behind closed doors bonder laim is our weakest minister that's apparently enough to become commission president it is an unparalleled act of political trickery vanderlei and should 1st be nominated by germany before other e.u. states can induce the nomination and should also leave office 1st otherwise it turns it all into a theater and the elections into one big fast well they're also that all supporting . the line they are praising the fact that a woman has been nominated for the 1st time for they said well what some would regard as the top job in european politics is commission president. there's also been support from world leaders from european leaders who said if. you wrote credentials it was enough on the force who in wonderland as many of the european
2:09 pm
level know her and then appreciate her experience her as a defense minister and therefore i am convinced there will be a clear support from the european peoples party and hopefully this as well if in the if wonderingly in fails to be elected as head of the commission by the parliament europe risks a possible constitutional crisis so i find it a very charming idea to the face of europe it will be female in the future as well the polling here in germany doesn't really tally with what i think it is just saying there 56 percent of people here don't think that sort of on the line is the right person for the job of european commission president in fact 71 percent of those polled in germany said the way in which she was nominated was and rightly that they would rather see paul and pick who would be the the commission president as it is parliament gets to vote on the nomination put forward by the european council as we're seeing at the moment in the vote will take place on the 16th of
2:10 pm
july the european parliament voting on whether the line will be the next year a peon commission presidential needs an absolute majority in the europol of it if that's to be so. let's discuss this further with our gascon are back and we pay for the alternative for germany party and part of the e.u. is identity and democracy group welcome to the program so it's nice to have it whether it's i why do you think the longer line is such an unpopular pick. well i think there are 2 reasons for this i think they have already been hinted at the 1st is that the e.u. leaders and national leaders within the e.u. within the have been trying to. give the impression that. the e.u. is now finally trying to address its democratic deficit. with the other so-called dart may be there the leader the prime candidate for the
2:11 pm
largest party in the european parliament would be the next commission president funded why wasn't a so-called. dart and her nomination has made a mockery of the whole so that's the 1st reason i think the 2nd reason is really. deplorable. as defense minister in germany i mean she was previously their. family minister. but as defense minister i think she's simply failed the german army is not an operation or by any measure measure the imagination there has been persistent allegations of nepotism and there's been a huge waste of public money that's not a recommendation for a top job. do you think the critics are being fair when they say that
2:12 pm
undemocratic. yes i think what should briefly look at by democratic that word is often. distorted i think political discussion political decisions can be regarded as. democratic if one of 2 conditions are met. at least one 1st i think. or population has to be involved in the actual decision making in some meaningful way and or 2nd. political decisions must reflect. popular preferences now funded lions nomination. doesn't need either cried tears. yes it's
2:13 pm
undemocratic by both standards having said that and despite the mass opposition both at home and abroad do you think on the line is still going to get the job. i think that's quite possible or if not probable or she's been one of mrs merkel's maced faith for left tenants and merkel is crap is current blair trying to place prodded a project in top jobs within and within germany and inside the e.u. as well in order to ensure that merkel's disastrous policies will be continued as far as possible i mean you're going to back thank you for your time and thank you for sharing your thoughts with us on this story.

a professor at the university of toronto's faculty of world studies so he's british people will not benefit from following trunks requests. policy towards iran is fading and it's quite surprising that the u.k. is actually following trump's orders which is going to be a disaster for the british people this is part of a long. of poking. practices that the u.s. government has engaged in this practice of talking iran on basis i think will have severe limitations i think iranian leaders are tired of this type of policies and i think they will respond and the response is going to be not something that is going to be good for both sides i think. in france a mounting of a nato is a military exercise seabreeze in the black sea this is an excerpt from its promotional video.

2:21 pm
you could find offensive about it one of the big rules about the left is that you're not allowed to mock them that is one of the biggest no nos you cannot laugh at them you cannot make fun of them they are moral and intellectual superiors and the people who are most effective at mocking them are the ones who get attacked the most of this this child was just so sweet having a bit of fun at one of the most laughable characters in american politics it's unfortunate we live in this world where the left works so hard to silence people and joined him and ate them and this is all about immigration the left has controlled the culture for 405060 years they've dominated and they cannot handle it that the right is beginning to wade in culture they can handle it the right is being funnier than they are you. suppose of u.k. right wing activist tony robinson have clashed with police after he was found in

2:23 pm
like a 989 disney willy's to found out taishan of the famous fairy tale written by the danish author hung's christina anderson and not fish in an area was of blue eyed redhead white girl some argue that the new version should stay true to the 89 film but others say having a black lead is a win for diversity. the actress cast is areal can sing act dance and is beautiful but racists yes that extreme irritation you feel is racism or like mermaids can be black wool crabs can talk so we're all stretching here shut up fat box little mermaid lives on a tropical coral reef with a calypso signal with a strong jamaican accent when you think about it it's bizarre she was white the 1st time around there goes my favorite princess can't believe the just 3 my favorite princess she has a beautiful voice but if she's playing aereo i'm going to be she doesn't fit the look at all could you imagine the uproar of the cast a white actress to play tiana in the live action remake i just don't understand why
2:24 pm
is this necessary when they were naughty we put the issue up for debate. well that what people are trying to do is trying to bring people back to a certain kind of reality that we live in a very diverse society and to try and present if you like to try and normalize 1st because what happened before was that we had a society which those people were excluded or if they were presented they were presented as before they were prevented of course in the translation which was derogatory to them we bring race to the forefront and make it an issue when it really isn't an issue i think it's a very dangerous precedent and i think it is think it really is not i think it's really not about the inclusive it is that your other guest discussed discusses i think it's really a leftist agenda to divide us and keep us from working together and i think the people who are over concerned about his presentation are trying to as they said
2:25 pm
they want something they're used to but any challenge. challenge is if you challenge is what they think in the they think they think they should be like a princess can be black and what we want to do weird is not the lineup that so every every single hollywood movie made from now on must have a gay person a jewish person a black person hispanic person and all we're probably better represent all the population so let's play a puerto rican person a human person and i don't know there are people here from from our other countries too should we should we just make sure now that every single movie has every single race religion color size socio economic level where do you draw the lying if you look at the history of hollywood with birth of a nation it started off really badly with the original 1st feature film been a racist film which used skin color in a negative way of course they should be a good story line but also a film can do multi faceted things and i think we have to move beyond being obsessed by the fact that we live in a society that is proud to support diversity we do live in
2:26 pm
a society that does have problems around racism in american society has that and i think that people are denying. that people are not willing to begin to really talk about challenging it we had some because dylan roof to walk into a blood shot of a body i'm sorry there's been a number of shootings in on the places these a tragic tragic things we had black president black billionaires all over the place all sorts of hispanic people and in positions of power i would hope that no one would not like this character based on that they might not like the idea of it being imposed they might feel that it's a little bit racist to say oh well we have to have a princess be a certain color i don't think that makes them a racist i think that makes them somebody that just wants the best person for the job to be chosen whether it's a movie or a corporate venture i think the best person should always be chosen regardless of their skin color or anything else. thanks for joining us and i say international
