reaction to the ruling. i absolutely don't think that taxpayers should be funding people's preferences there is only one cure for gender dysphoria that is surgery. very well welcome you're watching r t international with me. in our top story this hour british prime minister boris johnson has succeeded in getting the queen's approval to suspend polman shortly after the summer recess and was being seen as an attempt to thwart timepiece attempts to avoid a new deal brags that lawmakers now won't meet in the commons until just 2 weeks before the latest deadline for britain to leave the e.u. on halloween reporting from westminster his policy. well the british prime minister burgess johnson as 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 it of course the deadline for the u.k. to leave the european union is on the 31st of october now and 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 we're going to do it on october 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 been 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 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 shameful of the government to try to drag the queen into this political mess the government is in i mean the

government does not have a majority in the government is one selection 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 coach in kiev has released the had at the ukrainian branch of russia's rio news agency from pre-charge detention coalition if he hears a dual russian ukrainian national was arrested last year and charged with treason when the case against him still stands and he could 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 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. however shinseki was arrested in may 2018 and stands accused of publishing anti ukrainian articles claim he's always denied his detention 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 somers believes coalition ski's preach farley's could indicate a turning point in russia ukraine relations. wider implications may be that the new

broom in kiev with this alinsky government getting 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 1000000000 mccaffery in northern ireland who made a film about killings that collusion between the royals to construct a real loyalist paramilitaries some years ago and they're waiting awaiting trial their absolute prison but 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 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. as unprecedented fire test very vast expanses of pristine amazonian rain forest and with the global outcry increasing brazil has finally agreed to accept foreign aid to help with the crisis but only if they can determine how the phones are spent earlier president but dire both norah said he was unwilling to accept any money unless his french counterpart apologized for insulting him the french leaders office said at the beginning of the week that both in our headlines 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 forests resorts it is and also with ties to foreign lobbyist whether more on that take care of open. 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 embers 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 ball so narrow 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 paved 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 you're. there. to see the homo's 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 to 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 rain forest and deceit in government is taking part in dispute . they are both in our has been arguing that the attention being paid to the devastation in the amazon is unwarranted as despite the fact that they see it an estimated $950000.00 hectares of rain forest have been destroyed much of it for council lunching and soybean cultivation with the explicit support of his administration and is not just brazil suffering either fires are now raging in

a number of neighboring countries to r.t. spanish has been filming the consequences. but. 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

then there the problem is what was it whether we are going to suspend the election campaign for at least one week even president rather said his running mate will suspend all electrolytes to teach us that we will dictate ourselves to taking care of the entire region the flexible way the wildfires the entire believe in amazon. and a push for great has 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 so are you a correspondent piece 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 a 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 the u.c. 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 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. so it's.

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 of the country and to allow them to go to church is the situation they are looking at and also to better judge the overall immigration and migration policy seems 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 so. published the nationality of a suspect lies with the editorial staff of an outlet so ultimately whatever decision is made someone is going to be. german police are investigating the murder of a chechen. on friday. with us. here's

. the deal. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic development only.

exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. welcome back from a police are investigating the murder of an ethnic chechen man in central then on friday they've arrested a russian citizen in connection with the killing in a case that german media already comparing to the suspected assassination attempt against a scrip out in the u.k. more and galaxy have takes a closer look at how the media is playing a little fast with the fact what we know so far sacked solid facts to fit all nice post that note

a man was murdered in ethnic chechen with a jaw this possed is suspected killer reportedly the russian citizen. at sea it fits on the posted note and actually what's known was enough for pundits to flesh out an entire national conspiracy theory that would put the freemasons in the shade . kremlin assassination putin's hit script fall $2.00 so while the end imaginative did the media get that officials had to step in and curb

pundit's imaginations. we don't know the exact motive we know is there are strong indications that the act was premeditated and that is why we have to go further there's been a lot of speculation already which is also being published for this reason alone we are obliged to refrain from discussing the investigation all the authorities have said is it could be a politically motivated hit didn't say russia did it didn't say putin ordered it what he said is they don't yet know that's why there's an investigation you know to establish facts are fashionable these days in the media nor do they want to talk about the victim no angel himself with a bit of a shady past water alongside jihadism chechnya together with men who took entire hospitals hostage bombed subways airports trains committed untold acts of terror supported caliphates and emirates groups that

pledged allegiance to al qaida and no that doesn't justify a murder the perpetrators should be punished feel the full force of the law but spinning speculative fairy tales filled with crackpot conspiracy theories and the tired old russia russia russia troops. it isn't helping anyone. the u.s. state of idaho is being told by a federal court that it must pay it for gender reassignment surgery for a transgender inmate unless there is a success a successful appeal in the supreme court 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 prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment this inmate who identifies as a woman but hasn't yet undergone the surgery is called a treat at most he's serving a 10 year prison sentence for sexually abusing a 15 year old has no essential for release in 2021 and is not eligible for parole but if the gender reassignment surgery is successfully paid for by the state at meaux will be transferred to a women's prison well 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 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 today 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 searching the bottom one 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. community certainly to our prison systems certainly to our courts and certainly to our victims. well we'd love to hear your thoughts on our stories are taken in touch by following us on social media and even the comments that were back at the top of the hour with the latest was to you that. when else should seem wrong. why don't we just don't call. me.

yet to see. this thing become active. and engaged with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. leave the room see. the new orleans. officer. told to get up off the ground began to down.

heard them freeze on the sounds of kind of fighting in the grown man like wrestling essentially. through his or john. twisted away from the officer. of his group. the obvious or did they kind of lunge for the web in one's midst and then when it happened on she swung at the observations didn't hit them i never saw any contact with. any kind of went back to where they were so the answers back here they're try again 15 feet apart at this point and that's when the officer pulled out his gun and he returned 3.

this is boom bust broadcasting around the globe and covering the world of business and finance and the impact on us all i'm doing over here in washington chrystia is on assignment here's a look at what's on deck today a major breakthrough in the opioid prices has been reached and johnson and johnson the u.s. pharmaceutical giant has been found guilty in an oklahoma courtroom but what effect if any will this album the epidemic of opioid plague in the united states barrows contributor to america's lawyer was on hand to break down the ruling and what this means for the future profits in the drug manufacturing star clusters of the state of global trade with the confusing enough there is yet another wild card at play in the push civic shipping spat to rob couped of i.c.'s and standing by to help us clarify the state of the trade war yet another great show is ready to start what's the secret to our business model ball you let's go. we lead our global report today with a groundbreaking decision against pharmaceutical giant johnson and johnson an

oklahoma judge ruled monday that johnson and johnson must pay a $572000000.00 fine for its role in the state's opioid crisis cleveland county district judge that baldwin had this to say about the ruling. you know we would try to see this is an imminent danger and minnes to it loans my judgment includes findings of fact and conclusions of law that the state met its burden that the defendants janson and johnson and johnson's misleading marketing and promotion of a few ways created a distance as defined by a $50.00 us section one including a finding. that those actions compromised the health and safety of thousands of oklahomans. following the ruling the pharmaceutical titan promised to appeal adding that the company did not cause a public health epidemic in the state for more details on this precedent setting

ruling and what it means for johnson and johnson and overall opioid up a demick we are.
