sparking a furious public and political backlash over democracy the british prime minister has his request. granted by the queen. takes a big gamble to get over the line. environmental activists rally against. a 1000000 liters of water from florida's santa fe river every day threaten the area's biodiversity. the lack of diversity she is a european web developers conference. with no females debate whether the industry's struggling to keep up with the times. is very likely in the real world. that somebody would just not want somebody to speak on the grounds of their gender

i'm sorry to say it does happen i'm glad to say it's not absolutely widespread. thanks for joining us. with you tonight welcome to the program. of 3 years after a majority of brits voted to leave the e.u. and with parliament's still power lies and suffering from a severe crisis of legitimacy. to shut it down the radical move means that after the suspension takes effect lawmakers will not reconvene until 2 weeks before the brakes at deadline to leave them a little time to pass legislation preventing a no deal departure. as the details. boris johnson is being well boris he's being bold as brass and he wants breakfast come what may rather. what you do when parliament won't play ball you suspend it he needed her majesty's permission to do

that which he thought we don't get a week into october the 31st before getting on with our plans to take this country forward we are going to have a queen's speech and we're going to do it all october 14th and we've got to move ahead with a new program but why don't the lawmakers a quick refresher if you've been avoiding the news because you just can't take the b. word anymore for number 10 talent a reason may who's currently getting away from it all hiking in the swiss alps spent 3 years trying to deliver after the referendum something we are definitely clear on bricks it means bricks it bricks it needs threats it wrecks it means bricks it and where you're going to make a success of it but parliament had other ideas patchy shouting had out even what have her key points had her reaching for her water then she found that brussels wasn't very happy about how to bit

a juror to old blighty and wouldn't budge on key points like the irish backstop to maintain a seamless border on the emerald isle they managed to thrash out a deal though and may tried 3 times to push it through parliament no luck so she shared a tear and left i do so with no ill will but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had to the opportunity to serve the country i love. and to boris johnson ardent bricks a tear and leave can't think i had johnson promised to take the u.k. out of the european union by how do we do you know and that's really riled so where are we now well just 2 months from a day and with parliament due to be suspended before it's. even got going and only have 2 weeks to try to block a new deal brant said everyone's crying foul saying it's a constitutional crisis others though have just had enough he's gone on for so long

now we just need to get on with it because it's just causing more trouble whole process is discussed in. parliament is being bypassed and. not democratic it's a catastrophe so anybody who tried to bring it in would be courting disaster anyway we should get what the people voted for i think it's a constitutional outrage he wants to see. you know when. you know it's important that you don't blame any problems on others and he will be patted on the back for delivering bricks and when an election that's what he sees boris johnson should do everything he can. to get back to work if you can't get it through he's out although where is cynics point out that what's really on democratic our m.p.'s in westminster spending 3 years in piles of taxpayers' money by dithering over to leg breck said ok perhaps it was a little rogue to disrupt the queen's summer holiday in scotland and maybe

suspending parliament was quite drastic for what's supposed to be a parliamentary democracy that's apparently taking back control but then this is boris johnson who's never been one for the convention and it has been 3 years already just about every hour for new explored every negotiation tactic used every amendment can sit it so maybe just maybe it's going to get his way and bill does britain away from brussels. r.t. london. well british political commentator john gaunt told us he believes the impasse over bricks it forced boris johnson's home to take dramatic action. i think you are left with no choice i think he should step round the corner you know has. given him permission says ben barman and they keep talking about 4 weeks exactly for number 13 cause a 1000000 people marched on a petition 17400000 people democratically voted in the largest democratic exercise

this country's ever known to leave so let's put the petition you want so yes i believe boris johnson and what deliver whether all beautiful great teams like me want. to know terms i don't know but it surely locally have to treat amazed nearly dead in the water and boris johnson is for once as a politician trying to deliver what he promised i think we should be saluting their . environmental activists have reacted with anger after it emerged that nestlé seeking permission to extract millions of liters of water every day from natural springs in florida santa fe river is part of a push by the food and beverage company to increase its bottled water production the river runs through the north of the state and is rich and biodiversity among the animal species that live there are for instance 15 breeds of turtles its ecosystems already considered to be at risk though due to over pumping indigenous communities in neighboring canada have also been complaining of nestle's activity

saying they've been losing access to clean water and launched a petition calling on their government to stop permitting the exploitation of local rivers we asked nestle for comment we've not yet received a response however the company has always maintained that it hears through all relevant regulatory standards and seeks to ensure the protection and preservation of the rivers it draws water from we asked the river keeper john quarterman what he thinks of nestle's latest plans. and i think the service were already. drawing more water going it back to us and plastic bottles that people will go now to clean up. on the rivers and springs i have it right near this nestle bob what water is circa water now. our springs really hard to read but it's those on there bruce madison county that's on

the with the kooky river which is in our basin they paid if i recall correctly the grandson of $128.00 a few decades ago that's all that. they get it's a huge amount of water and the good in bottles like this were to people on the river so in addition to the pollution it's also causing the local to go right now just because we need that water or drinking for agriculture or industry we don't really need it to be making profit sure this was company for something that nobody actually needs. we tend to think of the tech industry as being at the forefront of tomorrow as well and also leading the way in equality and diversity among staff seems i want to hear a pin web developers conference in germany didn't get the memo at the spot promising a rich and diverse lineup cancel looked i was event after number of delegates

objected that no women speak is what taking part. in this year's conference seems to have gone with the white males only conference lineup shame is 2019 we can do better there were numerous speakers with 2 sessions myself included that works up in the session but no women at all i'm not comfortable that all the organizers have said that only one female submitted a session proposal critics though say those behind the event should have reached out to more women we asked our guests for their thoughts on the controversy. the fact is that women are still half the population i think were just marginally over the half and the people organizing it seem to be a group of men it was their duty. requirement to ensure that they had a wide range of people to speak about the issues that they wanted a debate when you want to be diverse you know on some occasions with people waving

speakers on some occasions with more bad speakers but it is also the also the child age to say if you're going to have people in and effectively racially or sexually profiled i just say we're not interested what your speech is good debate we're not interested your level of talent we're not interested in the relevancy all were interesting is the color of your skin or your gender that is a joke the point is not about qualifications the point is about a culture which i'm sorry to say you seem to represent which is which is about accusing women of daring to be in your workplaces that would be a further comment if the women had applied local who got pushed out what it would apply there was basically no candidates now how old earth is that the fault of men it's very unlikely in the real world. that somebody would just not want somebody to speak on the grounds of their gender i don't think that's very realistic i don't

think that's something that's really going to happen i don't just don't think it's it's factually accurate it does happen i'm sorry to say either i'm sorry to say it does happen i'm glad to say it's not absolutely widespread but you may be in your little. haven in which everything is right and rosy but for lots of women though lots of ways in which women are excluded however competent they are i'm sorry that still happening i wish it wasn't but unless it's get spoken about i don't think much will change. the daily caller a new site has revealed that a number of u.s. democratic presidential hopefuls have been taking donations from hedge fund managers with a stake in puerto rico soaring debt stats the spot the fact those same candidates have made repeated attacks on donald trump for failing to address the oil into trees desperate economic situation.

i. puerto rico is just like the rest of the united states except it isn't and if their votes don't count in the final election why should presidential candidates care. to candidates 5 moderators 2 debates and only one mention of puerto rico in democratic debate that took place in florida home wolf 1200000 puerto rican and these are the

progressive when it comes to going after donald trump anything goes even the all but forgotten puerto rico democrat certainly did speak up when trying to snub puerto rico didn't sign a disaster relief bill at the 1st. he's shameful the way we treated puerto rico in the islands i'm not even sure people in the president's administration you poor 3 kinds are all citizens if we're talking about territories let's make sure the people of d.c. actually get senators let's make sure the people of puerto rico are actually treated like fellow u.s. citizens that they are and let's make sure that we have some handle on the financial future of this country are very honorable of them but what is not honorable is cashing in on puerto rico's difficulties and big hedge fund managers have been lending lots of money to puerto rico money the government cannot pay back and those very same hedge funds are now funding the democrats joe biden has gotten roughly $25000.00 from hedge funds like oak tree capital black rock and to comic

capital and he's not alone a coalition of puerto rican activists is calling for the democrats to give that money back these hedge funds have pushed a program over stary team privatization in order to secure dipping mintz in that in many cases could not be paid by the puerto rican government the lives of countless puerto ricans have been destroyed as a result create a ricans will be denied a better future if hedge funds are allowed to continue to profit from austerity and privatisations on the island you can either stand with the people of puerto rico or with the hedge funds that have harmed puerto rico you can't do both but so far only bernie sanders and elizabeth warren have returned their donations these democrats did not pay any attention to puerto rican issues it till they had an opportunity to criticize the president and isn't that ironic isn't that so hypocritical that it

wasn't until they had an opportunity to fight a criticism with president trump that they found puerto rico even an issue for them they should have been addressing this the entire time if this was important to them the only reason it's important now is because they found a way to criticize donald trump these hedge. nations are the core of hypocritical the fact that these democrats can sit back take these donations where people are profiting off of the economic problems in puerto rico and then at the same time say that they're concerned about this country is one of the worst things that i have seen i think when these democrats accept donations they don't check and i think they check only when it's convenient for them and they want to look at donald trump's campaign donations but they don't want to look at themselves and they don't want to look at the fact that they are taking donations off of the very thing that they say that they're against so far hedge funds making money off of puerto rico's debt crisis have donated roughly $230900.00 to democrats who are running in the

2020 alexion imagine what that kind of money could do for the people of puerto rico . artsy new york it was faulty international more news coming just off to this short. we are in a depression in america populations all over america there's an object poverty and more than half the population lives at or below the poverty line so they're already has a bit of a ghost depression going on which has developed into a full blown depression because of neither policies work from the central bank so maybe the problem is the sense of. you know world of big partisan movies. and conspiracies it's time to wait to

dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. looking much the program is tried and government says it's going to set up an intelligence taskforce to investigate perceived foreign interference in its

universities the country's education minister aside the growing vulnerability of australian institutions in the face of foreign adversity. according to the lightest advice from the australian charge of security center the targeting of a strain universities continues to increase state sponsored cyber adverse reason my use university networks is infrastructure due to their reliability and high and very traffic. to hide in the noise the federal government is working with the university sector to develop based practice guidelines for dealing with foreign interference. although no particular state has been named directly the fingers now being pointed at chinese students who account for close to a 3rd of all foreign students in australia last month the university of queensland saw tensions between supporters of the hong kong protests and those in favor of beijing in other cases some teaching materials have sparked outrage among chinese students as it described china and taiwan as 2 separate states of you strongly

opposed by beijing the chinese foreign ministry there has that i had any involvement in australian politics calling the ocean extremely irresponsible. china's so-called infiltration of australia and other similar claims are totally fabricated and underpinned by ulterior motives politicizing education and co-operation an artificially create an obstacle is not good for either side. let's cross live now to talk to binoy mark a senior lecturer at the school of global and social studies in melbourne thanks for joining us great to have you on today let's talk a bit about the timing of australia's move here we hear a lot about foreign interference foreign propaganda cetera what do you make of the introduction of this task force now. yes i think it's a very important point to say that on elements about this the fact is that research as you pointed out in you initial preamble to this discussion have been instance at

the university of queensland and i think it's also very important to note that a straight it car if they is in that tense moment with china because then issues of trade there is a concern of the example of westralia situates it. with its relationship with the united states china has been trying to test straight in shall we say approaches this tick in the rain treatment and i think more broadly speaking you know one of the things that's also playing out of course is the fact that there is the issue of . the dissidents doing the actual finding himself in problems and china being detained as well so this series of fact is playing out over will be speaking and he was trained in china relationships so i don't think that this is not. the protests in hong kong they are something that have divided

public opinion in hong kong with chinese students and citizens abroad as well what do you think is making the assumption here that this is down to expel influence will beijing somehow organizing this rather than accepting that some students who have one belief will have another set of opinions. well that's true and that's very must case you can have this perspective that they could have different opinions and so on but the reality is the humko protests of prism. that decides it's perspectives from different potus the reality is steps shadia the united states other countries setting this particular ongoing protests on the interest and concern and of course in a straight it precisely because trade has a strong link with many people in hong kong there is a concern that this might blow up as well so the wrists and ongoing burning issue

and it's due in the context of the next move so there is a lot of wait and see what will happen next but there is a concern given the fact that we're strong chinese student connection with on in addition to the main one with the stray and that this is you know mass it's investigating but of course i'd also suggest to you that a very fundamental one in this bit hypocritical which is the fact that strayed in universities and receiving money from take south in fuchsia since its use yes this is something that was never mentioned and discussed and much of an issue and so recent that it's very interesting to note that mr c.n. and the education minister and australia has not really mention anything connected with those institutes so i do think there is a bit of a double play they. want to touch upon to come or actually because of course as we said chinese students do account from the photo for foreign students in australia

do you think introduction of this paul force could backfire chinese students opting to study elsewhere or indeed you know repercussions affecting these sorts of students what you think could happen there. well it's a very interesting point because street in universities. overwhelmingly and i think unhealthily links to international students. connected to the international student mafia in a way that's unsustainable. and of course chinese students form a fundamental part of the economy of the history and education sector let's not forget that in the straight there that it depends which analysis you look at it anywhere from we don't assert or false ranking of g.d.p. on strong you know the education sector and sometimes the economic share and share of what's produced and the reality is that the australian government officials or

anyone connected with the university sector cannot be tsuki cavalier with this idea of a child and so yes it's true there's a risk china may well decide to encourage students to move elsewhere and remember there is a risk that a straight here will become essentially the sick man of education in terms of asia because childless institutions are doing very well but it's not discussed in this whole debates the fact that chinese universities actually gaining and doing very well in the international market so all of this out of throw the badly as the context strands for instance of. dr been a cop mark senior lecturer at the school of global one and social studies melbourne thanks so much for tom today are not international. anita. that's it for the south even back in 30 minutes time with the latest global news updates for you see about 10.

i'm one of them but i think it's ended up by a girl one that all but one is we're buddies. they. should have anissa. put them down i don't want that or i can't that's funny as hell and nation you know

that looking at it yeah to. keep it to killed any kind of ticking dad. who made a move of one of the men that he and one of them both were out of this with. oh why paradise with so much all year round turned into a round the experimentation field the agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants 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 but 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 fair. move environmental races going on in hawaii whether these companies feel they can get away with this because the people have less political power. during the great depression which old mr remember there was most of the family were employed. there wasn't it was bed you know much worse objectively than today but there was an expectation of the things were going to get better. there was a real sense of hopefulness there isn't today today's america where shaped by the turn principles of concentration of wealth and power. reduced democracy attacks. engineer elections manufacture consent and other principle holds according to no i'm chomsky one set of rules for the rich opposite set of rules for . that's what happens when you put her into the. narrow

sector of will switch will is dedicated to increasing power for chills just as you'd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of america. i am ask eyes or this is the kaiser report back to school kids remember those scientists things need to learn in life number one there is an insatiable demand for pancakes all over the world if you want to be an entrepreneur can ever go wrong with bank eggs 2nd off you want to be rich learn how to become

a scratch golfer. ok well with that i want to say in terms of educating yourself how do you mean watching kaiser report instead of cable news instead of m s n b c m s n b c right now what you would have learned is to cower under your bed and hide in fear of the world we have been preparing you for the paradigm shift that has been happening over the past 10 years we've told you about this and what do we get in return we get the d.n.i. saying no bad guys a report but we told you about this we warned you that the likes of mark carney from the bank of england will be standing on us soil in jackson hole this last weekend and saying get rid of the dollar we warned you the gold would be rising as the system under which we live would be collapsing and the us empire is definitely going down in a very roman style the kind i fully expect trump will point to a favorite horse to replace jay powell by the end of this year sounds like

a george galloway speech we warned you about a pack of lies it's a pack of lies of course for the scottish brogue hey george what's happening you've got it all your are is about at the mess he's running down yes that's right but look your talk about trump it's happening in the united states cable news is the. same professional wrestling the heel right and trump is steve austin apparently miles entire career on steve austin the professional wrestler and now we've got mark carney bashing the dollar we've got the world waking up to the fact that the us dollars world reserve currency is a huge liability for everybody including the united states and we've got people now swarming into gold you know gold a bit heavily and looks like it's got a top.
