pollution is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to 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. a bull risky move from the british prime minister as boris johnson queen to a shot at parliament until mid october and then attempt to lock in the u.k. european union. coming up on the program russian journalist he is released from free trial the tension he spent a year and a good creamy and she'll face charges of treason. in a 1st. u.s. federal court orders the state of idaho to pay for gender reassignment surgery for

an inmate convicted of child sex abuse we get reaction from the women. i absolutely think that taxpayers should be funding because there is only one cure for gender dysphoria that is. just after 10 am and also i live in pm and so in the evening right here in moscow with this wednesday august 28th welcome to our 2 international britain's prime minister boris johnson the queen to shut down parliament on till mid october it means lawmakers will reconvene just 2 weeks before the breaks that deadline policy or break stunned that element for us no. well the british prime minister burress johnson has for me asked the queen to suspend parliament from the 9th of september

to the 14th of october the parliament is currently on recess but essentially what it means is that when it we convience there will be little more than 2 weeks for the sitting parliamentarians to discuss this whole issue and be able to prevent in essence a no deal breaks that of course the deadline for the u.k. to leave the european union is on the 31st of october now or johnson has said that his intention in doing this is to allow the u.k. to move forward with its national legislative agenda we're not going to wait until october the 31st before getting on with our plans to take this country forward to a queen's speech and we're going to do it on the 14th and we've got to move it out with a new program there's a lot of criticism from opposition members of parliament to accuse johnson are behaving cowardly and being in undemocratic and autocratic leader called then the

leader of the labor party has said that this is a smash and grab on democracy the speaker of the house is also critical of johnson's move this move represents a constitutional outrage it is blindingly obvious that the purpose of provocation now would be to stop parliament debating briggs's a recent telegraph poll found that 88 percent of brits feel that the parliament is out of touch with its people and certainly the parliament on this issue seems to have failed during the leadership of the former prime minister to resign may there were 3 votes on this issue and ultimately may resigned over the whole topic now what we see johnson doing is really delivering on his promises he said he was going to deal with the issue and criticism or not he certainly is moving in that direction i think critics have been right to note that. it's been really quite simple of good government to try to drag the queen in

to this political mess the government is in i mean the government does not have a majority in the government is one of its 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 perhaps give it a little bit of her majestic sparkle to try to win at least enough time to get his new deal through. a court in kiev has released the head of the ukrainian branch of russia's riette news agency from trial detention karylle who is a jew all russian ukrainian officials arrested last year and charged with treason while the case against the code face up to 15 years in prison he has welcomed the judge's decision. that i'm now planning to leave the building with some fresh

air i'll think about everything else all of the other problems tomorrow 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 cause 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 poroshenko as he has lost his position and i have spent a year in prison. karylle he was arrested in may 28th dean stands accused of publishing to ukrainian articles that claim he's always denied his the attention had been condemned by a number of international organizations including reporters without borders ukraine previously attempted to use him in a prisoner swap but he refused saying he wanted to clear his name journalist martin summers believes pretrial release could indicate

a turning point in russia ukraine relations. wider implications may be that the new broom in kiev with zelinsky government bedding down may be 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 in 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 katherine 1000000000 mccaffrey in northern ireland who made a film about killings collusion between the royals to consistently really loyalist paramilitaries some years ago and they're waiting awaiting trial their absolute prison that they're still awaiting trial. 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 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 his job. moving the program on with an on precedented number of fires tearing through vast expanses a pristine only in rain forest and the global i crying creasing brazil's president has lush tied up his french counterpart john you're a botton r. o. ses he's unwilling to accept any aid money to help tackle a crisis on till emanuel necron apologizes for insulting him the french leader's office said at the beginning of the week that bolton r.-o. had lied to by being committed to preventing climate change the dispute comes out the brazilian government faces increased scrutiny over its aggressive attempts to exploit their rain forest resources and also its ties to foreign lobbyists with

more inert here's came up and. the amazon rain forest is on fire on an unprecedented scale and it's everybody's business you see 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 chainsaw for nothing is drive to promote

deforestation and roll back 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 pave the way for a bowl 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 the. 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. there are. those who see the problem of money. forget 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 i just thought it was u.s. markets and i think that these relations new government of with 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. that forests their green forests and deceit in government is taking part in dispute. joe you're both. arguing that the attention being paid to the devastation in the old is over more and that's this by the fact that this year an estimated $950000.00 hectares of 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. suffering either fires are now raging in a number of neighboring countries are polish is being filming the consequences. but if you 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. rather than there to put a little bit of us that we are going to suspend the election campaign for at least one week and even president morales and his running mates will suspend all electrolytes and we will dictate ourselves to taking care of the entire region affected by the wildfires the entire believe. let's take attention in the program back to europe where in a push for greater transparency police in the west of germany have said they will begin disclosing the nationalities of criminal suspects taking a look at the implications of that are europe correspondent peter oliver. 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 has 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 in need to excuse enough 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 a case so as to not draw attention to crimes that have involved the migrants. i so far we still don't have any suspects so we don't know who the culprits are.

making this in the 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 objective lee 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. it's. it's.

a measure oriented toward the population so that they can have better information and better image of that reality on the ground in the city and sees in the hot spots of the country and to allow them to better judge 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 decisions. the published the nationality of a suspect lies with the editorial staff of an outlet so ultimately whatever

decision is made someone is going to end up with be. just coming up to 18 months into the program after the break german police are investigating the murder of a chechen exile in berlin on friday bringing up the day. when almost seemed wrong. wrong just don't call. me. yet to shape out to stay active. and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. she still looks for common ground.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. theory dramatic probably the only and. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit down and talk. hello again german police are investigating the murder of an ethnic chechen in central berlin in front they have arrested a russian citizen in connection with the killing in a case that german media are already comparing to the suspected assassination attempt against script in the u.k.

earlier i discussed the case with our senior correspondent rod goes to. what's official on this case well there's. not a lot of facts that have been revealed by investigators they're keeping mum 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 anguish really was shot killed in a park and by an alleged this suspected russian citizen he was tracked down shortly by police arrested the. ticket was found on his person a flight back to moscow he isn't cooperating with investigators keeping completely silent for now but there's been a whole new day of speculation in the media but 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 is this the kremlin at work again the 2nd square power case 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 no information and that also everything you read in the media and this is this is the general prosecutors say is speculation 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 go further there has been a lot of speculation already which is also being published for this reason alone we are obliged to refrain from discussing the investigation yeah a lot of speculation about who carried beside one of the victim what's known his back row well that is something that the media isn't so enthusiastic about because the victim. really has

a checkered very checkered past. islamist he rose to prominence sharing the chechen was in a jihadi movement against the russian federation he fooled alongside such figures as. it's a name that's perhaps one of the most infamous people. figures in recent russian history this is a real bad guy i mean untold acts of terrorism he once attacked and seized a hospital hundreds of woman elderly sick chronically ill people doing far far more than 100 patients who were killed this is the kind of person that he fought alongside he was a supporter of the caucasus emirate this is isis light 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 lol

should bank many of the fighters went to join the jihad in syria but he himself he was in georgia for a while these ethnic chechen but holds a georgian passport traveled to ukraine then went to germany got asylum there. and he was placed on a terror watch list. 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 and the perpetrators will certainly be brought to account to the justice of the criminal has also issued a statement the comment categorically denying any relationship between miss this killing this murder and russian authorities the russian government the very

specific on that absolutely. relation. the u.s. state of idaho 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 $90.00 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 deny such treatment with full awareness of the prisoner's suffering those officials violate the 8th amendments prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment. the men who he say identifies as a woman but hasn't yet of course on the gold the surgery is cold adrian mole he's serving a 10 year prison sentence for sexually abusing a 15 year old it was scheduled for release in 2021 is not eligible for parole but

if the gender reassignment surgery is successfully paid for by the state will be transferred to a women's prison we have some 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 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 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 that this is an incredibly sad testimony to the dangers and the damage of politically correct thinking and frankly indoctrinate. and 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 they are there of the. likelihood of recommitting crimes is higher there is only one cure for 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 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. t.q. community certainly to our prison systems certainly to our courts and certainly to our victims. i phone so our news roundup is looking for. which towards the 3rd decade of this century where do relations between moscow and china stopped it's a question that's up for debate. dares

things. to. go there to get up off the ground serve began to. hurt them focus on the sounds of kind of maybe the grown man the christening essentially the office early back to his or john. pushed it away from the office or the

joy of his career. the obvious or did they kind of lunge for the weapon once missed and then when it happened on tree swung. as i didn't i never saw any contact with. any kind of went back to where they were back here there again 15 feet apart at this point and that's when the officer is gone and. hello and welcome to cross talk we're all things considered i'm peter lavelle the bear and the dragon over the last few years the russia china relationship has grown in depth and in magnitude there's not a.
