7:04 am
have witnessed the emergence of a new crisis characterized by numerous abuses in violations of human rights but all of these problems have roots that reach far into cameron's past a former german colony fronts in the u.k. were given the mandate to look after the area following the 1st world war then in the 1960 s. france and the british finally gave the territories that independence to former colonies which had been ruled in very different ways became a single state that haven't quite got the origin of the. clue. and. the new power of our world but there is no real effort to want to. shout over this doubt that come through this independent country and should be. no more from my to keep close tabs on it. to be honest. with you there was collusion between. government. the french government to ensure that.

people remain in the country. in. which we should. give them. i think. the. $1000000.00 countries whether it's a month earlier but it's coming. if you know as the world what she saw and what some already describing as a civil war in central africa is cameroon is becoming more entrenched the number of the issue may lie in the countries kowloon your post but it's today citizens who are suffering the consequences. in australia in 1000 month old baby girl on it up in hospital severely malnourished after being fed a vegan diet from birth eating only mostly oats and sparse she weighed less than 5 kilograms suffered major problems with her bones and was hardly able to move doctor
7:06 am
said she had only developed as much as a 3 month old and had no teeth because of a lack of necessary vitamins the parents of ordered jail time after a judge handed them 300 hours community service instead. one could in fact that if you did there is no greater responsibility and then by a parent to his or her child to care for the child to nurture the child and 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 his so hold a bottle she couldn't play was to spend the dean who called trolling back and forth she couldn't roll over all the way. but it's not the only such case and may a swedish couple was jailed after their 18 month old child almost starved to death to a died and also emerged that the parents have registered their baby's birth and that
7:07 am
the child had never been examined by a doctor or vaccinated and in another case parents in the u.s. were arrested for a similar reason they nor a doctor's advice on what supplements to take when raising a child as they begin with thinking is i'm on the rise the question then becomes is it ok to raise children begin and that's attracting more attention the american academy of pediatrics says it can be safe without any developmental risks however not everyone agrees we discuss the issue with judy moore a registered dietitian and nutritionist and patrick holden 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 house for the sisters just can't keep keep an eye on the on the number of children that they've got on that case larry we need to keep a vigilant oyola people who for the probably the best reasons are misguided lake

p.d. and 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 you can diet yes we need to eat less meat but don't give up put 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 very last 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 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 their challenge the gann and once we talk it through and i explain the implications of it and have plans for right to be in the planning of
7:09 am
the doc most of them decide against it but i would say that most of them that i've seen race and they were light of the last 2 or 3 years and not getting the going because of their environmental concerns there's a lot of worry at the moment about what a dog but 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 trauma begin dosh or not and in the mean time allow them to eat a full. diet sort of all the. food groups we can address climate change but he she will sustain. those. california's governor has signed
7:10 am
a new law limiting the use of force by police officers when making arrests officers will only be able to use lethal lethal force if they believe there is an immediate threat of death or injury the new law also makes it easier to prosecute police officers who abuse their power they could face criminal charges civil liability or disciplinary action a lot change comes as a recent study finds that police brutality is one of the top 10 causes of death among young american men and has this report and a warning you might find some of its content upsetting. the killing of unarmed african americans at the hands of law enforcement has been an issue that dominated headlines in the united states for years names like michael brown eric garner and tamir rice bring back memories of mass protest movements and rising anger from the black community and concerned citizens. pay. for.
7:11 am
the latest statistics reveal just how systemic the problem of police violence could be police for this is the leading cause of death for young men in the united states over the lot of course about one in every 1000 black men can expect to be killed by police risk of being killed by police peaks between the age of 20 years and 35 years for men and women and for all racial and ethnic groups in fact dying at the hands of law enforcement is the 6th leading cause of death think about it american police officers take more young lives than diabetes influenza and most diseases only car accidents suicide homicide heart disease and cancer kill more young americans than police officers it's almost like interactions with the police or becoming a public health crisis or a drug epidemic the study reinforces calls to treat police violence as a public health issue racially unequal exposure to the risk of seat violence has
7:12 am
profound consequences for public health democracy and racial stratification of course police authorities maintain that they do everything in their power to exercise restraint take the case of tony tampa a 32 year old living in dallas texas he called the police himself to say that he was off his medication for schizophrenia and then he needed help after the police arrived responding to his own call they restrained him they laughed at his pleas and he eventually stopped breathing. both. of them don't like the i don't know nothing about rolled and rolled code only b 3 lunatics got. in new york city the subways and billboards warn the public about dangerous diseases like diabetes there was even a controversial subway ad campaign warning about the results of teen pregnancy so with police being the 6th leading cause of death for young men in the united states should
7:13 am
a similar public awareness campaign be waged we decided to ask people here in new york city i don't thing that i would help i thing with proper training would help maybe you know train these police like to understand how to take care of lives you know that's what is needed i think more. a more useful public service announcement would probably be about advocating for knowing all your rights and knowing how to talk to police in an encounter knowing that it's legal to record it record them doing their job in all states those kind of public service announcements might might be more useful in my book issue with with people being killed at the hands of police officers in the usa yeah i think it's 5050 to be honest even playing 5050 meaning like place officers pass away as well as perpetrators and that's just a shame that's our society the us public seems pretty aware that the country has a problem with police violence these statistics weren't really shocking to the people we spoke to they will mop and archie new york. we spoke with former police officer dominick is though he says there needs to be tougher entry criteria for
7:14 am
those joining the force. raise your standards it's not enough it's not a popular opinion along foresman i truly believe today's day and age that law enforcement officers need to be a minimum of 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 vs 5 patrol 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 9 principles of policing is the police of the public and the public are the police so therefore part of the same cohesive unit and they have to share working together. in australia
7:15 am
a former defense lawyer faces jail time over the leak of controversial files on the war in afghanistan he appeared in the supreme court this week for initial hearings david mcbride release classified material in 2017 alleging australian troops committed war crimes and afghanistan he was charged with breaching the country's defense act and is expected to face trial next year he claims it was his duty to the australian people to make the talking points public goods a few tricks up my sleeve it's with having a go i might fail but i'll be happy in jail if i try and. among the incidents reported any so-called afghan files where the killing of a civilian man and his son during a raid where it was alleged they were shot by mistake and another case an afghan detainees where shot dead while he was alone with an australian soldier david mcbride claimed that before leaking the information to the media he tried to bring
7:16 am
it to the attention of officials but his efforts were in vain we discussed the issue with former cia officer turned wesley clark john kiriakou oh. 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 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 they really need to be legal protection so people can can go confidently to their supervisors or to their legislature or even to the media to report crimes in this case 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 we're time situation that so many americans have been sucked into you
7:17 am
think that you can get away with things you think that they aren't 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 in the united states whether it 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 . frenzy all of us protest movement is back in the streets of paris right now as the country hosts the g 77 summit that's taking place in the southwest of france and the resort town of beer it's where protesters were also out in force friday evening. all right. as you can see a police used tear gas to deter anti g 7 protesters in the seaside town authorities
7:18 am
say a number of rioters were arrested security services are now on high alert and the town is currently on lockdown. russia is celebrating national flag day will be reporting live from the festivities here in moscow right after this short break. seems wrong. just don't. get to shape out just be active. and engaged with. the trail. find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
7:19 am
with manufactured consensus to public wealth. when the ruling classes can protect themselves. with the flaming. lips and be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. welcome back former white house press secretary sarah sanders has announced she will join conservative cable news outlet fox news known for its favorable coverage of donald trump who in fox news is a contributor looking forward to being was a fox and friends team for my 1st hit on september 6th how should x.
7:20 am
white house officials be treated when they spend months misleading the public and seek positions of fame and privilege that's all there from the top by a president who lies even about the weather in the time of day that i think is why this does deserve outrage and backlash. meanwhile at the opposite end of the political spectrum of former deputy f.b.i. director andrew mccabe has joined the ranks of the news outlets least liked by term c.n.n. his appointment also drew criticism as mccabe was fired for leaking information to the media then lying about it at least 4 times including under oath. the guy who department of justice inspector general found committed federal crimes and is a serial liar could work soon and live to sue the commitment to serious journalism m g mccabe fired for lying to the f.b.i. caught by the inspector general for unauthorized media leaks and worst of all one of the ringleaders in spreading the disastrous russian collusion conspiracy theory his reward a paid c.n.n. contract comical andrew mckinney and c.n.n.
7:21 am
are truly a match made in fake news heaven sanders is now the 3rd white house official to join fox after a job in the trump administration all obama era politicians from the director of national intelligence to white house communications officials are enjoying being pundits on c.n.n. political commentator dave perkins things that former politicians joining part of the media outlets is about idea. i think it's a bad development for media that more and more political people are winding up in front of the cameras it's just not good news media is changing from the watchdog of government for the branch as they are called to a member of government a participant of government and moreover a member largely on one side and against the other and when the media participates politically mostly on one side the public doesn't demand for them to stop it the public demands for other media to participate on the other side to balance them out
7:22 am
because it's unfair because of all this easy motion between government and media it should not be allowed to happen but i'm not sure there's a way to stop it because i don't want government to be in charge of who gets what job either i'd rather it be free and people just know what it is they're seeing and who they're listening to when they get their information from the media better to know transparency is better than government supervision but i still don't like the direction that it's going. young climate campaigner got a bird is on her way to the u.n. climate summit in new york and she's chosen to sail there on a 0 emission boat instead of using a plane to highlight the impact of aviation on the environment are some people do claim she's done more harm than good.
7:23 am
2 thoughtful like people using airplanes to get the ship back to europe the captain is going to fly because well 0 emissions save in fact more will be emitted. what about the guys you're. home when you get to the us. but he still avoiding the fact crews being flown out to new york to bring it back so more carbone use the normal flight which makes your journey pointless.
7:24 am
across russia people are celebrating the country's national flag day including here and moscow which is where are all a quarter is for us now. donald tells you a little bit about the event where you are. right there jack like you said today is national flag day in russia there's a huge celebration going on behind me and see there's a lot of people lots of flags music earlier today we saw a giant flash mob actually that had a record breaking amount of russian flags over 2000 in fact brought by water and 1000 yards from all over russia and like i said they're all russian and there are also other celebrations going. in other places. let's listen to a clip about those.
7:25 am
as it is wrap up for now but i'll be back at the top of the hour with the latest thanks for tuning in. join me everything on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sport this list i'm showbusiness i'll see that. i put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be
7:26 am
president. or somehow want to. have to go right to the press it's like well before 3 of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the. question. why paradise with some all year round turned into a round the experimentation field but agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants there's no question otherwise 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
7:27 am
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. well redacted tonight camp as you can tell we aren't taping with a live audience this week instead we thought we'd bring you a little best of redacted tonight 29 team don't worry we'll be back with a brand new show next week but without further delay here are some of our greatest hits from this year enjoy. yes let's start off tonight with a topic some of you might not have heard of but i think it's important it's called
7:28 am
if i'm pronouncing this correctly racism. and if you live in my home state of virginia it is all the rage right now right i mean that's to call her right apparently if you're an elected official in virginia hating black people is the new black it is hot. and some forms of racism are easy to say such as. but although you know luckily though they did cover up some of it with the sheet but. other racism systemic racism is not as obvious and a lot of people try to claim it no longer exists elegance gone what like systemic racism black panther was the most popular movie avner therefore racism over well i want to show you 3 recent studies that prove just how over systemic racism is let's start with schools all right slightly important couple of weeks ago as new educational sports found overwhelmingly white school districts received 23000000000
7:29 am
dollars more than predominately nonwhite school districts in state and local funding in 2016 despite serving roughly the same number of children i mean the kids of the wider schools are doing their homework on a mac books a lot is supplied by the school while the don white school kids are doing their homework on a big mac. you know that today kids the science class will be done. i said acting the double quarter pounder with cheese because the stay won't supply us with enough progress. this is when the liberals say that's because we have a racist president who hates funding the education of people of color actually that 23000000000 number is from 2016 while obama was still in office but that can't be i thought obama and it all racial inequality brought people i love and took the pops to the world no not exactly your only 2 words off though obama ended all reporting
7:30 am
on racial inequality and see the difference i just stop talking about systemic racism against black hispanic and indigenous people exist no matter who's in the white house let's move on to climate change right there can't possibly be racial disparity there hurricanes don't exactly only hit black people twelfth's a new investigation found is that white communities nationwide have disproportionately received more federal buyouts after a disaster than communities of color you see one of the things fema does is they damage properties after an emergency what federal disaster aid is not necessarily doled out to those who need it most but rather to those whose property is worth more and to those who own property in the 1st place we have a system designed to help the rich the most after a disaster when the poor need it the most because.
