9:01 am
an inmate convicted of child sex abuse we get reaction. i absolutely don't think that taxpayers should be funding people's preferences there is only one cure for gender dysphoria that is. run the clock across the world this is our t international from the team myself you know neal hello and welcome to the u.k. looks to be lurching towards a major constitutional crisis britain's prime minister boris johnson has the queen to shut down parliament on till mid october which means lawmakers will reconvene just 2 weeks before the break that deadline talk us through what may be happening in the near future or in london paula it's a question we've been asking require. sometime what we do know though is that boris
9:02 am
johnson is already feeling the heat is knee over this request what does it mean for the u.k. to talk us through today's development. what we'll see happen is parliament will resume on the 3rd of september and then according to this official proposal put forward by the british prime minister johnson to the queen he is asking for parliament to be suspended from the 9th of september to the 14th of october and that means that when parliament resumes at that stage that have little more than 2 weeks before they reach the deadline of the 31st of october to leave the the us the pm union and this is really a very little amount of essentially sitting days of parliament and makes it much more difficult for members of parliament to try and block a no deal breaks it down so however denies that this is what he's trying to do he says that he really wants to move forward with the national legislative agenda of
9:03 am
his government. but we're going to wait until october the 1st we'll get you on with our plans to take this country forward a queen's speech we're going to do it on october 14th and we've got to move it out with a new program. now as you can well imagine there's a lot of criticism especially from opposition members of parliament they've accused him of behaving as a coward and the words that are being bandied about are words like they're appalled and that this is ridiculous and that he is an autocratic undemocratic leader what we're hearing opposition m.e.p. saying is that essentially he knows that he's going to get a vote of no confidence and so he's either trying to prevent that or delay that with his efforts for a no deal break said one of the harshest critics of course is the leader of the opposition germany corban and he has said to quote that he's going to prevent a smash and grab tent on democracy and that this whole effort by the british
9:04 am
prime minister is essentially not on we also here in criticisms from the speaker of the house who says that what he believes johnson is trying to do is prevent a discussion taking place on the whole issue of bricks that. this move represents a constitutional outrage it is blindingly obvious that the purpose of procreation now would be to stop parliament debating briggs's. now there's been constant opposition in the parliament over the whole issue of breaks that we in fact saw 3 votes during the leadership of the former british prime minister to resign may and ultimately she resigned over this issue what is becoming increasingly more clear is that the issue has been listening one about brics it and more and more one about a deal or no deal and in the process the leaders that were directly elected by the population are being pushed further and further away there was a poll that was recently conducted by the telegraph that found that 88 percent of
9:05 am
brits believe that the parliament is out of touch with the population so of course the questions being asked is who is making these family decisions and whether or not they have the mandate from the population to do so or things which are going through all of our tuesday. wallace lear live in london. and we stayed in the u.k. now because i'm happy to say as we go to tom tom's a professor of law and government of durham university to delve a little bit deeper into this good to see you tom what are the possible outcomes here after the p.m.'s request. because a few possible. so one is that attempts to force no confidence votes could could potentially fail that he might boris johnson might hope he could narrowly win something like that and if that were to
9:06 am
happen then the consequences are that he probably would be able to have some extra momentum to get this probation through and and and deliver this controversial plan he could also lose a vote of no confidence that would then trigger the possibility of of a general election pretty soon but it's there's no set particular number of days that the prime minister would have to do it and johnson's team has said that they might will delay doing something like that to force this no deal correct through another option is that parliament will have to vote on the bill of a northern ireland because if there is a new deal then there will have to be direct rule of northern ireland by westminster so they also you know it's very controversial and then we salute this nation can have various amendments they could be anything such as stopping the government from doing a deal so those are some options that are available fairly soon that could happen
9:07 am
next week just something that seems to be having a lot of unused lines all it is the pearl being of parliament and going to the queen we have forest going we've jeremy corbyn saying he's going to go to the queen how much of a king maker the queen actually be here. technically she is the king maker as it were of parliament it is her prime minister it is her parliament and she can she do is now obviously the queen and her. and those before her have for a long time tried to avoid being involved in politics and that's been part of of the success of the monarchy and also it's a unifying element i think critics have been right to note that it's been really quite full of the government to try to drag the queen
9:08 am
into this political mess the government is in i mean the government is not have a majority the government is says. it's election from tory members has not gone to the public there is not majority support for what the prime minister wants to do and to get the queen to sum up be complicit in all of this and and perhaps give it a little bit of her majestic sparkle to try to win at least enough time to get his new deal through is really something i think unprecedented it and really a wrongful abuse of the council as it's been used tom we've heard a german corben leader of the opposition also the leader of the liberal democrats perhaps coming together to try and stop a new deal with that in mind and also m.p.'s have called in scotland's top civil
9:09 am
court to block johnson's move to shut down parliament do you think that could have any sway. will potentially i mean i think that one thing that we saw with the with implied the address this. question is that there hasn't been a majority 2 or 3 semi steel there hasn't been majority for a lot of different votes about breaks it but the one consistent majority more than once it's up in parliament has been against to stop the new deal out so i think that. that is done perhaps unwittingly as he has galvanized people who are otherwise disagree you look at the regrets and labor market testing some some similar cravat in some constituencies he's brought them down together to prevent this new deal outcome and i think that could be very powerful because the opposition parties outnumber the tories the other thing is that peace in scotland that is being led by joe allbaugh and who's actually drove all graduates he's like
9:10 am
he said i think he's very interesting and he's he was discounted before you know people thought that joe very successful q.c. was maybe going to lose the miller case that he was part of and that he might lose other ones of course he won all those do is is i think a very formidable barrister one of the country's best and i think that he and his team i wouldn't rule them out i think that there could be perhaps a surprise for 10 downing street that they are not wanting to have any time before christmas september should be an interesting month whatever it entails. government professor at durham university he told. a court in kiev has released the head of the ukrainian branch of russia's rian news agency from pre trial the tension karylle deficiency is a jewel russian ukrainian national was arrested last year and charged with treason
9:11 am
while the case against him still stuck and he could face up to 15 years in prison he has welcomed the judge's decision. 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 who thinks that 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 i view the calls of some ukrainian politicians for a prisoner swap as an attempt to raise the previous presidents profile that sam proved to be unsuccessful for mr bush inc as he has lost his position and i have spent a year in prison. over since he was arrested in may $28000.00 and stands accused of publishing until ukrainian article to claim he has always denied his detention have been condemned by a number of international organizations including reporters without borders ukraine previously attempted to use him in
9:12 am
a prisoner swap but he refused saying he wanted to clear his name artie's editor in chief margarita simonyan told us about her phone call with mr pinsky earlier in the day bail. curial is a person with incredible courage self-control and a great attitude towards life he's the man he called me earlier and he was happy he laughed a lot he was more concerned about me being pregnant and that i need only positive emotions. i told him curial is that what you should care about he was like no that's important that's very important. he told me laugh and how they were celebrating new year in a dark prison cell with the only light coming from christmas decorations they found somewhere. he also said hundreds of thank yous to china listens to people protesting his detention on the street and people protesting and walking from office to office and i said we need to apologise 1st because we couldn't release
9:13 am
him earlier he spent over a year in the ukrainian prison doesn't the dunster we also spoke to journalist martin summers who believes that. pretrial release could indicate a turning point in russia ukraine relations. 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 guarded 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 binion mccaffery in northern ireland who made a film about killings collusion between the royals to constantin religious
9:14 am
paramilitaries some years ago and they're waiting awaiting trial their absolute prison that they're still awaiting trial for supposedly accessing official secrets and that's that's a concern here the fact that they released him from prison means that and he's welcomed it shows that there's some movement there 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 his job. german police are investigating the murder of a chechen exile in berlin on friday we'll bring you up to date with what we know about it after the break. dancers financial survival guide by a i'm a few. of the 5. i saw some of my ex from the future
9:16 am
are back with our t. international german police are investigating the murder of an ethnic chechen in central berlin on friday they have arrested a russian citizen in connection with the killing in a case that german media are already comparing to be suspected assassination attempt against surrogate script in the u.k. . joins us now in this year with more on what's going on and what's official on this case well there's. not a lot of facts that have been revealed by investigators they keep in mom they're trying to establish facts and then share them but a lot of speculation the media what we know for certain 23rd of august zillion. really was shot killed in
9:17 am
a park by an alleged this suspected russian citizen it was seen by witnesses is an execution apparently but he was tracked down shortly by police who arrested the. ticket was found on his person a flight back to moscow he's incorporating with investigators keep in completely silent for now but there's been a whole new speculation in the media about the sky they're trying to find out everything about him. you know from from any source. his name. that he's a russian from siberia all sorts of things and. it's you know it's as usual this is there's a tantrum going on russia russia. russia this is a hate this is vladimir putin as the the kremlin at work again the 2nd square
9:18 am
powered case. and what's what's astounding what's very interesting here is that the prosecutor's office came out and said we have nothing new to share so we have no facts they aren't accusing linking this to russia yet at all in any way new information and that also everything you read in the media and this is this is the general prosecutors say is speculation which is you know pretty astounding. you know we don't know the exact motive we know it's there are strong indications that the act was premeditated and that is why we have to. there's been a lot of speculation already which is also been published for this reason alone we are obliged to refrain from discussing the investigation. yeah a lot of speculation about who carried their side one of the victim what's known his back row that is something that the media isn't so enthusiastic about because
9:19 am
the victim. really has a checkered very checkered past in islam is he rose to prominence during the chechen was he fought alongside jihad in a jihadi movement against the russian federation he food alongside such figures as . it's a name that perhaps one of the most infamous people in the tourist figures in recent russian history this is a real bad guy i mean they don't come much worse than this untold acts of terrorism he wants attacked and seized a hospital hundreds of women elderly sick chronically ill people. in firefights more than 100 patients were killed this is the kind of person that he fought alongside he was a supporter of the caucasus emirate this is isis light an emirate based in the
9:20 am
caucasus that was their idea and these guys didn't shy away from doing pretty much anything getting their hands really dirty bombing airports bombing subway stations bombing passenger trains you know the whole world should bank they also declared allegiance to al qaeda nusra front in syria many many of their fighters went to join the jihad there but he himself he was in georgia for a while these ethnic chechen but. hold the georgian passport traveled to ukraine then went to germany got asylum there. and he was placed on a terror watch list and watched as i could potentially an individual who presented a public safety threat zone at least until 2018 for. various reasons a speculation again he was removed from that list eventually but make no mistake don't get me wrong his past doesn't justify his murder in the middle of
9:21 am
a park shot in the back and in the head no nothing justifies that and the perpetrators should certainly be brought to count the justice and the criminal has also issued a statement the comment categorically denying any relationship between this killing this murder and russian authorities the russian government the very specific on that absolutely no relation but as i say early days yet investigators to keep in keeping things to themselves and to establish the facts of doubtless we'll learn more as time goes on thanks for bring us up to date on what we know at this stage we're out of. let's head stateside where the u.s. state of my idol has been told by a federal court that it must pay for gender reassignment surgery for a transgender inmate on less there is a successful appeal in the supreme court in the next 90 days it will be the 1st
9:22 am
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 prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment. ok so here's what we know the inmate who identifies as a woman but hasn't yet undergone the surgery is called adri he is serving a 10 year prison sentence for sexually abusing a 15 year old and will is scheduled for release in 2021 on these not eligible for parole but if the gender reassignment surgery is successfully paid for by the state ed miller will be transferred to a women's prison we asked to commentators in the u.s. for their thoughts on the case. i absolutely don't think that taxpayers should be funding people's preferences there is absolutely 0 evidence in the medical
9:23 am
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 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 so medical conditions are covered in american prison systems the constitution is quite clear. that and several cases have proven it in terms of.
9:24 am
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 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 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. likelihood of or. committing crimes is higher there is only one cure for gender dysphoria that is surging the bottom line is ok let's get off of
9:25 am
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 a 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. community certainly to our prison systems certainly to our courts and certainly to our victims all right we are going under growing once more in moments crossing to option on the team in london and i'm back with more global news this wednesday from r.t.e. h.q.

prime minister we examine the issues that really matter from wiki leaks to win brush with legendary writer and musician benjamin zephaniah golan cipel coming up in today's going underground but 1st away from the u.s. economic wars of the e.u. russia venezuela and iran to its attack on the superpower of the 21st century china is what the doldrums not yet resigned f.b.i. director christopher ray says about china it's a threat to our economic security and by extension it's a threat to our national security. but it's even more fundamental and that is behavior it violates the rule of law it violates principles of fairness and integrity it violates our rules based world order that's existed since the end of world war 2. put plainly china scenes determined to steal its way up the economic ladder at our expense we've been unable to secure an interview with the chinese ambassador to london about allegations like these that china is a rogue state bent on theft suffice it to say that the us is clearly violated the

post 945 rules based order from career in vietnam to palestine nicaragua or in cuba here though is what china is saying about us policy if the us and china will have to respond to me highness never afraid of any pressure on china certainly has been pressured he has a us cable news presenter telling the world not even to be surprised by revelations from former cia contractor edward snowden now in moscow for safety it's not a huge surprise that the u.s. military is engaged in off fans of cyber attacks yes but the usa is not just offensively hacking countries it is involved in full spectrum surveillance as revealed by edward snowden arguably making accusations against chinese companies like wall way even more risible joining me now via skype from the british colony of them you there is guinness world record holder jim rogers he founded the quantum funded george soros and is the author of a bull in china investing profitably in the world's greatest market jim welcome to going underground so you've said trump is making china great again do you think
9:29 am
something chinese communist party officials a law fing at the latest sanctions against weiwei well trump called out of the trans-pacific partnership and the chinese looked around and said well that means we're the only ones left so they can take over asia now. maybe that's what mr trump is thinking make america great but it's doing a lot to make china great because now they don't have any major rivals in asia and the pacific for mr rich you know but you've been talking for years about the end of the dollar or perhaps the end of the dollar as a reserve currency do you think china will be seeing this and the developments of the bank as they try and promote that as as presaging. the end of the dollar well as you well know several people bitch over countries in the world looking for a replacement least a competitive with u.s. dollars it is starting to happen there are the banks that the chinese and others have developed to compete with the u.s. dollar and it's happened i know you've been saying it for
9:30 am
a while lots of people been saying for a while and you you just put your historian hat on there saying mentioning the british empire why has it taken so long for countries like russia china iran to start using currency swaps in rubles and rem name is 1st of all there's no went for structure if you call up your bank and say i want to do something else the bank doesn't know what to do nearly and earlier everywhere in the world including america including in iran so it takes a while for people to start thinking about it it takes a while for people to actually learn how to do it and it takes a lot of people to do it eventually everybody does it is 2nd nature they know that it's better off or it's easy thing to do but right now i know most places in the world if you save foreign currency everybody says u.s. dollars that's the problem and.
