breaking news this hour a possible step towards freedom just maybe for the head of the cranium branch of russia's ria news agency as a court orders his release from the trial detention stands accused of treason by you created authorities. elsewhere the news today is the global outcry continues over the fires engulfing vast tracts of the amazon rain forest the brazilian government's business practices and ties to washington come under increased scrutiny. police in the west of germany say they'll now reveal the nationality of all crime suspects regardless of whether or not there are densities believed to be

relevant to the investigation. and a u.s. federal court orders the state of idaho to pay for gender reassignment surgery for an inmate convicted of child sex abuse go reaction to the controversial ruling that . i absolutely don't think that taxpayers should be funding people's preferences while she is in prison the state is responsible for her that person's health and welfare. is one of the afternoon here in moscow live from our world usage who is kevin and with you for this 30 minute news round up and 1st in the developing story just came in the last hour a court in kiev has released the head of the ukrainian branch of russia's ria novosti news agency from pretrial detention. jewel who russian ukrainian now.

was arrested last year and charged with treason while the case against him still stands and he could still be facing up to 15 years in prison nonetheless he's welcome the judge's decision today. that i'm now planning to leave the building with some fresh air i think about everything else all of the other problems to morrow it feels really bad being in prison believe me i'm not the only one hoping stance i don't know a single person who feel comfortable here i was certainly following the news while in prison but for now i'm not ready to make any political assessments which is he was arrested last may and stands accused of publishing anti ukrainian articles it's a claim he's always denied it's attention has been condemned by a number of international organizations including reporters without borders ukraine previously attempted to use him to was a prisoner swap but he refused that saying he wanted to clear his name journalist martin summers gave me 1st hand reaction to this he gave me his thoughts on the development just last hour. but wider implications may be that the new broom in

kiev with his alinsky government bedding down maybe that they're trying to find ways back from the kind of confrontational attitudes of the recent past of course is always very difficult for journalists reporting on conflicts like this because it's easily easy to be seen by one side or the other. taking sides in what's a very complex situation in the 1st place so i mean a god welcome for this and hopefully you know justice will be done but it's it's pretty clearly a political case and we've got a case here in the u.k. of catherine binney and mccaffrey in northern ireland remaining film about killings collusion between the royals to consistently really loyalist paramilitaries some years ago and they're waiting awaiting trial they're out of prison but they're still awaiting trial for supposedly accessing official secrets and that's that's a concern here i mean the fact that they released him from prison means that and he's welcomed it shows that some movement and of course as you say was potentially

involved in a prisoner swap which he rejected because he's not a political prisoner in the sense or a military prisoner he's a journalist trying to do is deal and he wants to be good to be recognised as having done is. also an unprecedented number of fires tearing through vast expanses of pristine amazonian rain forest and the global growing growing brazil's president has now lasted his french counterpart job also narrow so that he's not willing to accept any aid money to help tackle the crisis until emmanuel mccracken apologizes for insulting him the translators office said at the beginning of the week that both had lied about being committed to preventing climate change the dispute comes as the brazilian government faces increased scrutiny over its aggressive attempts to exploit the rain forest resources and its ties to foreign lobbyists with more on this later spout than i was developing kellam open today. the amazon rain forest is on fire on an unprecedented scale and it's everybody's

business we've seen this fire markets group about 200 yards in the past 5 minutes alone for the thousands of miles of scorched forests hundreds of burnt trees and they broke all records this year they were twice as many as they were in 2080 the war to save the amazon rain forest this is one of the last battlefields celebrities are speaking up saying that the lungs of the earth are at stake the lungs of the earth in flames the am is the needs more than a prove yours so what can you do the amazon rain forest produces more than 20 percent of the world's oxygen and it's been burning for the past 3 weeks it's our responsibility to help to save our planet so who's to blame some say that it is those who eat meat others say that it is all of humanity or is it president balsa naro after all he's not known as captain shane saw for nothing is drive to promote deforestation and rollback environmental laws has angered environmentalist's and he's opened the door for american businesses to swoop in

a member of both in our us government has made sure that washington lobbyists are in on amazon business opportunities governor wilson lima is very closely tied to all kinds of american business interests for example documents released under the foreign agents registration act reveal that wilson lima is tied to the inner america group a very powerful washington d.c. lobbying they've created a packet for u.s. companies showing the amazon's potential for mining agribusiness and the gas industry back in 28 teen the head of the lobby group even praised trump for electing balsa naro. donald trump paved the way for a bold so narrow victory under president trump brazil's position as a world leader in industries such as agribusiness mining banking and aviation will be respected prior to the governorship of wilson the louima the previous administration of amazonas signed a contract with giuliani safety and security that's giuliani as in rudy giuliani

former new york city mayor and a lawyer for donald trump as recently as april the brazilian american chamber of commerce has hosted events touting the vast american business opportunities presented by the forest and soil of the south american nation you know you're a loser. there you know maybe. it was you see the problem was money used. for get business there's a pretty clear opportunity here that's for the democrats to promote saving the amazon rain forest and to rub it in the face of the g o p however the democrats recently canceled a proposed debate around climate change from their list of debates for 2020 presidential candidates so apparently saving the amazon is everybody's business until it's nobody's business and that who has more connections. state companies

and he's now just fuck was own u.s. 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 national natural resource so i think that the national corporations are disputing this natural resources the m.s.n. yet the forests the green forests and deceit in government is taking part in dispute. jobo scenarios with arguing that the attention being paid to the. in the prison is unwarranted this despite the fact that this year an estimated $950000.00 hectares of rain forest are being destroyed much of it for cattle ranching and soybean cultivation with the explicit support of his administration it's not just brazil is suffering either the fires raging in a number of neighboring countries now to the spanish is being filled with the

consequences of that. but if i think this there could be a number of causes usually wind scatters 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

all of it but with us and other we are going to suspend the election campaign for at least one we believe in president of morality and his running mate will suspend all the extra work for the teachers we will dictate ourselves to taking care of the entire region affected by the wildfires because the entire believe in them and. the push for greater transparency police in the west germany have said they're going to begin disclosing the nationalities of criminal suspects no take a look at the implications of that and why it's needed our europe correspondent peter all over. police in the west of germany will reveal the nationality of everyone 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 to set some alarm bells ringing for though you see feel it may have an 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 it need to excuse enough people that we want to include in the society we don't think that a 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 a case so as to not draw attention to crimes that have involved the migrants. 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 where 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. but a measure oriented toward the population so they can have better

information and better image that reality on the ground in the city sees in the hot spots of the country and to allow them to go to church the situation they are looking at and also to better judge the overall immigration it might ration 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 nationality all the suspect lies with the editorial staff of an outlet so whatever decision is made someone is going to be. one of the up to moscow time this is new and more of the off the break in a move this provoked widespread fear right now in the u.k.

. and the ongoing breaks it has been asking the question now to shut down parliament until mid october tell you more when we come back. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want to. have to go right to be this is what before you can't be good. i'm interested always in the last hour. to.

me. i gave this is new in the u.k. looks to be lurching towards a major comes to tional crisis this lunchtime its new prime minister boris johnson has asked the queen to shut down parliament now until mid october so he can probably force through a no deal breaks it not going to wait until october the 31st before getting on with

all plans to take this country forward we are going to have a queen's speech and we're going to do it all but the 14th and we've got to move it not with a new legislative program. please go to very exciting outlawing to show the public schools fireworks already has not pulled a sleaze across they say that paula. what is a suspension actually made. why. well it's causing fireworks as you mention now what we're hearing from johnson is that he has asked the queen to suspend parliament from the 9th of september to the 14th of october so he can push through a no deal break said we still have no information as to what the deal itself entails but johnson says this is so that he can work on pushing the u.k. for way its critics say that this is a democratic outrage they accuse him of acting cowardly they say he's an unelected and autocratic prime minister who knows that he's not going to get approval of

a no deal in parliament and hence he's trying to prevent or delay a vote of no confidence in him now johnson self denies this he says this is not an attempt to prevent a discussion or any kind of debate happening in parliament over the whole issue of a no deal but certainly we are already seeing reaction for example from the pound that is plummeting and we've just heard from the speaker of the house of commons this is not aware of this latest development but indeed if it's true it amounts to a constitutional outrage so what we see now is a situation where those who were directly elected by the public on the issue of breaks that are no longer making the decisions and indeed the whole debate has changed from one over breaks it or no breaks it to one over deal or no deal and the question remains as to who is actually going to have the final say and make the final decisions you know pull a lot more of this can really solve salute thanks for the update from from london let's get right to it get some more food for us. about who's been told by

a federal court that it must pay for gender reassignment surgery for a transgender inmate less than successful appeal in the supreme court in the next $90.00 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 denied such treatment with full awareness. of the prisoner's suffering those officials violate the 8th amendment prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment. this inmate who identifies as a woman but doesn't get him to go on the surgery is. the serving a 10 year prison sentence for sexually abusing a 15 year old boy that most should do for elise in 2021 does not urge a bill for parole but if the gender reassignment surgery is successful paid for by the state at mo will be transferred to a women's prison who has to commentators in the states for their thoughts 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 yes it should be covered just like cancer treatments are covered just as any other treatments or 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 are 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 debt this is an incredibly sad testimony to the dangers of 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 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 their their. likelihood of recommitting crimes is higher there is only one cure for the

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. t.q. community certainly to our prison systems certainly to our courts and certainly to our victims. it's sort of to pass one of the afternoon here in moscow that's the way things look in so far this wednesday there's going to be

a lot more reaction to the u.k. news the boris johnson is going to ask the queen for to suspend parliament and also in from ukraine that breaking news well you see it in the red take on the screen that the developments in the case of the head of the ukraine branch of russia's really news agency today you can see it for the afternoon colleen bray after that through the view to guide you through all the twists and turns of it and check out as well for now i'm kevin owen thank you for watching r.t. international. join me every thursday on the alex simon shill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see if that. seems wrong when all the rules just don't call. me. yet to stamp

out just because it's a case and in detroit equals betrayal. when something you find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. you know world of big partisan movies lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. we are in a depression in america populations all over america there's an object poverty and

more than half the population lives at or below the poverty line so there already is a bit of a ghost depression going on which has developed into a full blown depression because of neither policies work from the central bank so maybe the problem is the central bank. officer. told him to get up off the ground in the office or begin to pay him down. them freeze on the sounds of. the grown man the christening essentially. through his. wish to do away from the officers. of his group. the obvious or did they kind of lunge for the weapon once missed and then when it happened on 3 swung at times you didn't hit them i never saw any contact with. any kind of went back to where they were so the officers back here there try again 15 feet apart at this point and that's when the officer pulled out his gun in
