4:05 am
markets and i think that these relations that the new government of brazil with the u.s. government and companies are not very good for european companies that are interested also on this next natural resource so i think that the national corporations are disputing this natural resources the m.s.n. yet the forests their green forests and dissident government is taking part in dispute. j. paul snow has been arguing that the attention being paid to the devastation in the amazon right now is unwarranted despite the fact that this year an estimated $950000.00 tears rain forest have been destroyed much of it for cattle ranching and soybean cultivation with the explicit support of his administration and it's not just brazil that's suffering either right now fires are raging in a number of other neighboring countries to. show sister channels being filled with

the consequences. but on the fact there's there could be
4:07 am
a number of causes usually when scattered sparks from the fires point of origin prompting the growth of the area on fire even a cigarette thrown out of a window could cause a fire which can spread for kilometers. but little of it was about what we are going to suspend the election campaign for at least one week leaving the president the morality of his. running mate will suspend all extra work to teach us that we will dictate ourselves to taking care of the entire region affected by the wildfires out of the entire believe in amazon out of . what is next the push to grow transparency of police in the west of germany of so they're going to begin disclosing the nationalities of criminal suspects take a look at the implications of that the europe correspondent peter all of us. police
4:08 am
in the west of germany will reveal the nationality of every one suspected of a crime even if it's not relevant to the case the interior minister of the state of north rhine-westphalia which includes the major cities of cologne and docile doff has said they've taken the decision to improve transparency we will name the nationalities of all suspects that we know for sure i'm convinced that this transparency is the best cure against political deception it may seem like a small thing and the policy of naming the nationality of a suspect varies from state to state but this has become sensitive subject following the migrant influx into germany the idea behind not travailing the nationality of someone when it isn't pertinent to the crime is to avoid discrimination against minorities by linking nationality to crime this new initiative has set some alarm bells ringing for though you see feel it may have an
4:09 am
impact upon suspects rights the defaults disclosure of nationalities in police press work is not consistent stating where someone is from even if it is irrelevant to the circumstances of the crime doesn't lead to greater transparency this measure is unconstitutional and it is certain that it's immoral i think that it can lead to wrong suspicions that your neighbor might be a trim and all or just based on his nationality and that could lead to further racism and in need to. you know people that we want to include in the society we don't think that sas specs nationality adds anything to the case they're all those that have accused the german media around authorities in the past of a meeting the nationality of those involved in the case so as to not draw attention to crimes that have involved the migrants.
4:10 am
i. so far we still don't have any suspects so we don't know who the culprits are. making this an issue by oversimplifications and connecting it to the refugee issue is nothing but a misuse of the discussion now it is about clearing the facts and drawing the necessary conclusions i would like to add that it is completely improper for us and for the people who judge objectively to link a group that appeared to come from north africa with the refugees this is improper and i want to prevent this massively there is no sign that it concerns people who came to cologne as refugee. i. was.
4:11 am
about a measure oriented toward the population so that they can have better information and better image that we i want to be on the ground in the city to use in the hotspots. the country. to allow them to church is the situation we're looking at and also to go to church the overall immigration in my creation policies the german media guidelines for publishing the nationality of a suspect say to do so it must be grounded in public interest involving serious crimes like murder or terrorism but that ultimately the decision to publish the
4:12 am
nationality of a suspect lies with the editorial staff of an outlet so alternately whatever decision is made someone is going to end up being bitter all of artsy bill in. the state of idaho has been told by a federal court that it must pay for gender reassignment surgery for a transgender inmate unless there is a successful appeal than in the supreme court in the next 90 days it will be the 1st time a state has been instructed to pay for such a procedure since the medically necessary treatment for prisoners gender dysphoria is gender confirmation surgery and responsible prison officials deny such treatment with full awareness of the prisoner's suffering those officials violate the 8th amendment's prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment this is identified as wrong but hasn't yet undergone the surgeries he's serving a 10 year prison sentence for sexually abusing a 15 year old and most shared tool for at least in 2021 is not eligible for parole
4:13 am
but if the gender reassignment surgery is successfully paid for by the state will be transferred to a woman's prison we are asked to commentators in the u.s. for their thoughts than on this controversial case. i absolutely don't think that taxpayers should be funding people's preferences there is absolutely 0 evidence in the medical community that gender dysphoria is in any way solved or even helped for people you know who are confused about their gender there's nothing that says that that changing their gender will actually help them psychologically physically or in any other way and when you think about the fact that that taxpayer money could be going toward helping other victims like the 15 year old that this perpetrator violated that's where i start to get really angry well she is in prison the state is responsible for her that person's health and welfare so
4:14 am
yes it should be covered just like cancer treatments are covered just as any other treatments so medical conditions are covered in american prison systems the constitution is quite clear. that and several cases have proven it in terms of. transgender inmates or to be taken care of failure to do so is a violation of the 8th the memo to the constitution and it's clear that see that this is an incredibly sad testimony to the dangers and the damage of politically correct thinking and frankly indoctrination that is happening in media really globally not just in the united states so i really hope that people can get their sense about them and look at the data because as i said there is no medical consensus whatsoever that this will even be any help to this prison or to this
4:15 am
offender even if they go through with a sex change their suicide rates are higher their self harm rates are higher their depression rates are higher their need for medication is higher there are there are a big. likelihood of or. committing crimes is higher there is only one cure for say gender dysphoria that is surging the bottom line is ok let's get off of this narrative where you're trying to push you're trying to demonize trans folks here because there are non transgender folks who are also abusive to minors as well so let's let's get away from that period because far too often transgender people are demonized not only in discount tree but elsewhere around the planet this is more about it political opinion and any political preference that has become sort of popular at this moment but it's doing a great deal of destruction to the l.g.b.
4:16 am

4:22 am
central dot com our children told us he believes the situation is simply unacceptable was totally insensitive there's no question about it the whole idea of having memorabilia of the holocaust of that kind is completely insensitive to the memory of those who were killed and also it shows a level of anti-semitism i think without question whether it's to showoff jews being killed or jews being persecuted in any which way or other ones of hitler it's a clear sign of anti-semitism it's sort of saying identify with what happened to them as opposed to moralizing the people who who died walking out of the t. shirt of the holocaust is not remembering the holocaust and saying i went to fire up the holocaust which is the strongest war vet i sometimes and i can possibly think of and of course once again and it brings questions of companies like amazon how they relate to things like this and what sort of what sort of checking they're actually do to make sure what they're selling is appropriate and not appropriate
4:23 am

4:24 am
ordered the company to pay $572000000.00 in damages a decision that johnson and johnson immediately said it would have feel that some caused a sigh of relief among investors the turn as they feared the fi would be worse criminal defense attorney david katz explains. this judge only assessed one year 570000000 dollars was considered by the judge to be one years of the mediation that oklahoma would need to deal with this problem the reason the stock market wasn't hit that hard in terms of johnson and johnson and some of the other or opioid manufacturers and defendants in these cases is because the market was kind of expecting a higher judgement something in the billions just in oklahoma so this will spur negotiations between the plaintiffs and the big companies you know the oxycontin and makers the other ones as well as johnson and johnson to settle these cases
