criteria for those joining the folks. raise your standards it's not enough it's not a popular pin him along foresman i truly believe today is the age that law enforcement officers need to be minimally age 30 i don't want to see cops at the age of 21 anymore i think that's not a mental state of where they're ready to go at the human brain doesn't evolve until you're 25 years old i'd like to see that done i'd like to see if you're going to train them better i'd like to see the standard for pay increase i'd like to see command staff go back to law enforcement for the constitution versus proper troll for profit there's a lot of things i would like to see change inside of there but i would also like to see the public more held accountable i'm all for the demands of law enforcement being more ruthless it is a job that requires a more critical eye and a more critical watch which you have to have the public being willing to do their fair share too because some robert peel zog 7 principle the 9 principles of policing is the police of the public in the public or the police so therefore are part of the same cohesive unit and they have to work together. now in australia

the issue with former cia officer turned whistle blower john kerry. it's so typical it's so common in places like the united states the u.k. australia really the 5 eyes countries to attack the whistleblower rather than to address the crime and to punish those who committed the crime there ought to be hard and fast whistleblower protection laws there are in many countries there is not even in australia but there really need to be legal protections so people can go confidently to their supervisors or to their legislature or even to the media to report crimes in this case so i think that that the australian soldiers involved were probably i'm not even sure how to say it but sucked into the same kind of of wartime situation that so many americans have been sucked into you think
3:13 am
that you can get away with things you think that they are crimes and eventually there's going to be a whistleblower you know there's there's an old saying that the truth always comes out and i think that that is the case it was the case here it's been the case the united states whether it's cia or n.s.a. or f.b.i. the truth always comes out and so if you don't want trouble just do the right thing . and the face of a global outcry over the wildfires ravaging through the amazon rainforest brazil's president has ordered the military to help protect the area area france 9 and said they would not ratify a massive trade deal with south american nations unless brazil does more to fight the fire has huge claims of smoke can be seen been owing from the pfizer dairies to forest burning out of control at one point this week this might decide to end the city's sampat was plunged into darkness for an entire day this year has seen a record number of fison the amazon rain forest i have from bolivia the authorities

baby was severely underweight after being placed on the beacon diet from. vegetables she weighed less than 5 kilograms suffered major problems with her bones and was hardly able to move doctors said she had only developed as much as a 3 month old baby and had no teeth because of a lack of necessary vitamins the parents face huge criticism for not thinking the consequences of their actions. one point in fact that you did there is no greater responsibility then then by a parent to use a char to care for the child to nurture the child and to protect the child from any harm or injury caring for the go was caring for a very young baby she couldn't sit up she couldn't speak any words she couldn't feed herself hold a bottle she couldn't play was to spend the day in her court running back and forth she couldn't roll over all the way. this case raised the question of whether it is
3:17 am
appropriate to use beacon diets for small children spy the protests though some experts including those in the american academy of pediatrics do think it is acceptable and can actually be good for children however not everybody agrees we discussed the issue with judy moore she's a registered dietitian and nutritionist and also patrick holden he's the founding director of the sustainable food trust. the contact between health as it is now with our health services is quite poor. and children aren't seeing nearly as regularly or as often as they used to be say 10 or 15 years a care and i think that's one of the problems that houses the sisters just can't keep on keepin on i on the on the number of children that i've got on that case larry we need to keep a vigilant eye on people who for the probably the best reasons are misguided late feeding their children on healthy diets it's possible to keep the child healthy

a batch they do need supplements you can't just rely on if they can diet yes we need to eat less meat but don't give up together the right kind of meat and that's good for your health even if you do all that and you help and somebody helps you plan the diet very well you're channeling greg to the heights. genetically potential height because we believe that milk protein and meat processing also are trying to an important factor in growth probably very challenging and you have to be an expert in this to get it right and i would argue that perhaps it's not necessary to be quite so extreme as i have seen several reagan parents who come to me and say they want to bring up the challenge they get in and once we talk it through and i explain the implications of it and have cancer right in the planning of the doc most of them decide against it but i would say that most of them that i've seen race in

a while either the last 2 or 3 years and not getting the going because of their environmental concerns there's a lot of worry about i would about what does that that is correct for addressing climate change and all the other problems with facing is what we would argue that it is possible to eat sustainably to include a whole range of sustainably produced livestock or us in the diet without feeling a little guilty about it and probably your ready children would be better off with a void of age and not have. very young children and let the children decide when they're old enough maybe after their great spirit is finished with a form of rejoinder i shall not and in the mean time allow them to eat a full of diet full of all the. food groups we can address climate change but he she will sustain. the timea putin has ordered an assessment of the threat posed by a new u.s. missile the russian president also awarded asymmetrical response to the recently
