or broadcasting the line direct from our studios in moscow this is r t international i'm sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us. the british prime minister has risked the wrath of m.p.'s by securing parliament's suspension during arguably the u.k.'s most sensitive post-war political chapters sparking a large protest outside westminster in the process. was living god boris johnson earlier secured the queen's permission to. release parliament and shortly after the reconvenes after the summer recess is being seen as an attempt to thwart m.p.'s attempts to avoid a no deal begs lawmakers will have just 2 weeks parliamentary time before the

latest deadline for britain to be near on how it. was but i'm going to wait until october the 31st before getting all with all plans to take this country forward be again to have a queen's speech and we're going to do it all but the 14th and we've got to move ahead not with a new legislative program. while the prime minister's move has been lambasted by lawmakers as undemocratic on the streets and brags at where the public is seems to at least want an end to the indecision. as a prime minister so i said so we're trying to get certain things done in the country. you know in the fitzpatrick's it looks like you know but for most when a country wants a solution. highest high places are often he said get it done for instance he said it's place politics when he says everything's not related to fishing doing a deal which is just getting sold to everybody's intelligence think he's probably

the best person in the ship the moment even though he's always about everything it's just that. he's pushing some people with the no one else he's doing the money president also holding schools let's all be nice and so much house is westminster. constitution that's where all decisions for the will of the people should actually be analyzed discussed and solti truly there is when all representatives that's people who would like to be in the house a pot of money and to actually make decisions on my deal he's doing the right thing for the country you know. we've had this for 3 years or now because i just did for the fight and say gee we won out you know we won so so. he's a rock man for the job he should have been in years ago to be honest well for 4 stones that hasn't been the problem in the for very long it took over from tourism a having won the conservative leadership contest on his main theme throughout the contest was that he would live on drugs that while so beautiful it's

a 1st come what may even if that meant no deal drugs however well those who said that actually his intention the whole time was actually no dilbert's it could have had any intention to go shake with you and that this latest move in order to spend part of the many highlights that. however johnson supporters would argue that actually it's been the sort of tried to cover marketing you've got his book the u.k. nowhere on that he holds maybe not signaling his intent to leave without a deal but maybe they too will come back to the guy shaking stable and if he'll be struck out the last minute it's not going to see my doing what he's done 1 today or still civil servant for the u.k. to me you even got me on a no deal basis the saudi office in london he spoke to british a talk radio host and columnist john gaunt who says he is confident of the british

prime minister will deliver brags that regardless of any obstacles. i think you left me no choice i think he sidestepped around recording now has given him permission to suspend bollman and they keep talking about for weeks exactly for number 13 cause a 1000000 people marched on a petition 17400000 people democratically voted in the largest democratic stars this country's ever known chile so let's put the petition to one side yes i believe boris johnson will deliver whether it be the for them to slot me want to see out terms i don't know but it certainly looks as if there are trees amazed dead in the water and boris johnson is for wont as a politician trying to deliver what he promised i think we should be saluting now. as unprecedented fires had tear through vast expanses of pristine amazonian rainforest and with the global outcry increasing brazil has finally agreed to

accept foreign aid to tell with the crisis but only if it can determine how the funds are spent earlier president higher both scenarios said he was unwilling to accept any money until his french counterpart apologized for insulting him the french leader's office said at the beginning of the week that both an hour 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 forests resources and also its ties to foreign lobbyists with more than his arteries care of mom. the amazon rain forest is on fire on an unprecedented scale and it's everybody's business to 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 m. 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 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. 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 posted advance touting the vast american business opportunities presented by the forest and soil of the south american nation and.

there. it is easy. to 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. has released of the head of the ukrainian branch of russia's real news agency from pretrial detention kid. who is a dual russian ukrainian national was arrested last year and charged with treason or case against him still stands and he could still face up to 15 years in prison he has welcomed the judge's decision in an exclusive interview with our video agency

ruptly said that he still has plenty to contribute in his media role. i don't think about making a political career i've been practicing journalism for over 20 years and i believe i can still bring a lot into the profession it's helped me to overcome the events of the last year and therefore i owe it to the job and i should do a lot to benefit including sharing all of the emotions and knowledge i experienced during that. for now i can't say whether it will be political journalism but it's going to be journalism anyway the profession has supported me a lot it's saved me a lot so i'll continue to. trying it with as much experience as i can to was arrested in may 2018 and stands accused of publishing anti ukrainian articles claim he has always denied his attention has 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 skis pretrial release could indicate a turning point in russia ukraine or relations. 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 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 that collusion between the royals to construct the release paramilitary 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 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. german police are investigating the murder of an ethnic chechen man in central berlin on friday and arrested a russian citizen in connection with very killing in a case that in german media are already comparing to versus pectin assassination attempt against are in the u.k. or he takes a closer look at how the media is playing a little fast with the facts what we know so far facts solid facts can fit on this post that note a man was murdered in berlin ethnic chechen i've ajar this past is suspected

killer reportedly the russian citizen. at sea it fits on the posted note naturally what's known was enough for pundits to flesh out an international 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 you know we don't know the exact motives we know is 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 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 as 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 quarter alongside jihadism chechnya together with men who took entire hospitals hostage bombed subways airports trains committed untold acts of terror supported caliphates 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. and isn't helping anyone. right new york city is taking aim at a program for gifted students which in your report says promotes inequality we will break that down for you after we come back they want to march international. politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to. have to be right to be close this is what the before 3 of them or can't be that.

interested always in the water as it. should. seem wrong. just don't call. me. to say proud to stay educated and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when she's to look for common ground.

and welcome back you are watching r t international now in a push for greater transparency police in the west of germany have said that they will begin disclosing the nationalities of criminal suspects taking a look at the implications of that are your 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 tof 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 travailing the

nationality of someone when it isn't pertinent to the crime is to avoid discrimination against minorities by linking nationality to. 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 misting 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 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 object to believe 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 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 better judge 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. publish the nationality of a suspect lies with the editorial staff of an outlet so ultimately whatever decision is made someone is going to be. the mayor of new york is considering a radical shake up of the nation's biggest school system which could end the classes for gifted children it is designed to level the playing field after the mayor's school's diversity advisory group reported that the screening system is unfairly skewed to benefit white and asian students we recommend the phase out of g. and t. programs and exclusionary admissions practices the do not serve

a 21st century educational mission and unfairly block educational opportunities for students who are black not to next low income and you face other challenges all right this report shows that the majority of students in schools with selective tests are asian with white children making up the 2nd biggest group meanwhile only a quarter of students are either black or hispanic the advisory group proposes to eliminate so-called gifted and talented admissions and use different methods to attract students from different backgrounds and it also suggests removing academic tracking such as the grades and test scores and bring in what it describes as inclusionary admission practices we spoke with sociology professor william robinson who thinks the socio economic and racial inequalities are part and parcel of gifted student programs. this is throughout the united states we have a public school system which is which is extremely segregated by race and by class

extreme inequality in the type of education that students receive based on their socioeconomic status and their race so students that are so-called gifted are no more innately intelligent of gifted then all young people but they didn't given a chance because of the high quality schools and because the privileges they received at home by coming through at 4 from affluent professional families means that they can develop their intelligence and develop their talents and then when you go to compete in these particular schools in the gifted and talented schools it's not an equal competition poor and working class students disproportionately black and white elect you know another racial minorities go to under funded public schools where you don't get a quality education so when this report says that this system of gifted and talented schools results in segregation yes it does it's only intensifying these patterns that have already brought about segregation and social life and in our political and social institutions. us

a state of idaho has been told by a federal court that it must pay for gender reassignment surgery for a trans gender inmate unless there is a successful appeal 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 a prisoner's 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 inmate who identifies as a woman but has not yet undergone surgery is named agree she is serving a 10 year prison sentence for sexually abusing a 15 year old is scheduled for release in 2021 and is not eligible for parole but if the gender reassignment surgery is successfully paid for by the state will be

transferred to a woman's prison we asked 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 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 see that 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 prisoner 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. all right that is it for me i'll be back in about 32 minutes in 10 seconds with another look at your news stay with us as our 2 international. welcome to maximize your financial survival guide. looking forward to your pension account. yanks this is what happens to pensions in britain delegates average is watched as a report. by a paradise with some around turned into a round the experimentation field agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major here tens there's no question otherwise why would that the chemical company workers themselves be geared up that suited up

locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments that often in day you have many of these people. one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion 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 that it's because the people have less political power. to run over. there at the moment but even. in that.
