month old baby girl i met up in hospital severely malnourished after being fed a vegan diet from birth eating only oats and sparse 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 and had no teeth because of the lack of necessary vitamins the parents avoided jail time after a judge handed them 300 hours community service and that. one putting fact out of you that there is no greater responsibility and that 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 day in who called trolling back and forth she couldn't roll over all the way. and it's not the only such case in may

a swedish couple was jailed after their 18 month old child almost starved to death on a beacon diet and also emerged that the parents have registered their baby's birth and that the child had never been examined by a doctor or vaccinated and in another case parents in the us were arrested for similar reasons they ignored a doctor's advice on what supplements to take when raising a child as vegan not with legalism on the rise the question of whether or not it's ok for a child to be feeding given a vegan diet is 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 which is the more it registered dietitian and nutritionist and patrick holden the founder 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 day say 10

or 15 years a care and i think that's one of the problems that house physicists just can't keep keep an eye on the on the number of children that they've got on that case and we need to keep a vigilant oyola people who for the probably the best reasons are misguided late feeding their children unhealthy diets it's possible to keep the child healthy balance they do need supplements you can't just rely on a begin 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 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
8:09 am
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 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 the dart 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 children would be better off of that avoided begin to have. very young children and let the children decide when they're old enough maybe after their great specials finished with a trauma begin dosh or not and in the mean time allow them to eat a full. diet full of all the. food groups we can address climate

change but he she will sustain. those. california's governor has signed a new law limiting the use of force by police officers when making arrests officers will only be able to use lethal force if they believe there is an immediate threat of death or injury the new also makes it easier to prosecute police officers who abuse their power they could face criminal charges civil liability or disciplinary action a lot of 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 samir rice bring back memories of mass protest movements and rising anger from the
8:11 am
black community and concerned citizens. be a part of. 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
8:12 am
becoming a public health crisis or a drug epidemic the start of the reinforces calls to treat police violence as a public health issue racially unequal exposure to the risk of seat violence has 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 the only thing that i know nothing about rolled and rolled out of the code only. lunatics that exist. in new york city the subways and billboards warn the public about dangerous diseases like diabetes there was even
8:13 am
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 a similar public awareness campaign be waged we decided to ask people here in new york city i don't thing that 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
8:14 am
a problem with police violence these statistics weren't really shocking to the people we spoke to they will pop and r.t. new york. we also spoke with a former police officer dominick as though he says there needs to be a tougher entry criteria for 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
8:15 am
a more critical watch but 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 are part of the same cohesive unit and they have to start working together. in australia a former defense lawyer faces jail 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 has been 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 documents public i'm gets 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 in the so-called afghan files were the killing of a civilian man and his son during
8:16 am
a raid where it was alleged they were shot by mistake and another case an afghan detainees were 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 it to the attention of officials but his efforts were in vain we discussed the issue with former cia officer turned whistleblower john kerry aco 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 they really need to be legal protection so people 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
8:17 am
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 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 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 russia is celebrating national flag day our correspondent has joined the festivities here and moscow that story and more after the break. what holds us institutions. who put themselves on the line to get accepted or

8:20 am
now the tricolor russian flag itself has been through a lot over hundreds of years it was actually 1st created by russian emperor peter the 1st and only adopted years later by tsar alexander the 3rd during the soviet union the flag was changed for the hammer and sickle over a red background and again to the 9091 after the fall of the soviet union we actually talked to a lot of russians here about what the flag means to them and why this holiday so important the system when you might we simply couldn't soon decide when to a bit older you know that's why me and my friends came from our town this commemorative day to be closer to our homeland do you think we came here to shore

fact crews being flown out to new york to bring it back so more carbon use the normal flight which makes your journey pointless. 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 excited to join fox news as a contributor looking forward to being with the fox and friends team for my 1st hit on september 6th how should x. white house officials be treated when they spend months misleading the public and seek positions of fame and privilege that's all that 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 a former deputy f.b.i. director andrew mccabe has joined the ranks of the news outlets least liked by trump c.n.n. his appointment also drew criticism as mccabe was fired for leaking information to

8:25 am
media outlets is simply 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 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
