oh. so. now ground. is us democrats running to protect a whistle blower whose claims have triggered an impeachment inquiry we look at how they previously still to prosecute those who revealed uncomfortable truths. a phenomenon of so called flight shaming it would do you travel according to a new report we get 2 different views on the market. you should be traveling friendlier if you can rather than getting on the plane they seek to restrict our freedoms and our liberties to travel. it's completely and utterly unacceptable. and there's but will demand as a british museum warns art lovers about strong imagery in an exhibition of 19th

century turing's we speak to visitors. never ever ever we need to see the visions of people's minds not how we'd like the world to be you know we need major city good to have everything to be. going to remember your speech you know expects you to get. a very warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with me to. my top story this hour democrats in the usa it's a paramount concern that a whistleblower whose revelations triggered an impeachment inquiry against donald trump be protected an anonymous cia officer alleges that the u.s. president pressured his ukrainian counterparts to investigate a potential 2020 rival trump has rubbished claims of improper conduct on the ground of the informant a spy. either got

a totally wrong and made it up or the person giving the information to the whistleblower was dishonest and this country has to find out who that person was because that person is a spy in my opinion so the president probably doesn't realize. how dangerous his statements are when he says he wants to expose he's the whistle blower is and those who may have given the whistleblower that information. oh democrats are keen to protect this particular whistleblower they've been less keen on defending those who felt uncomfortable truths in the past had appropriate takes a look. we are now told that in this dark age of trumping tyranny one heroic individual has spoken up like a voice crying out in the wilderness we don't know his name or his occupation but we know that he is good i think the whistleblower did the right thing i think he followed the law every step of the way the inspector general of the intelligence community found this whistleblower complaint both credible and urgent i want to say

thank you also to the whistleblower for having the courage of the bravery to come forward on behalf of the nation now not only must this gallant hero be held in the highest level of reverence but he must also be protected any attack on him would be an attack on the american way of life from everything we know and we don't know much this is a experienced person who saw things that bothered him that's what the whole whistleblower blower statue is for and it is to protect their identity and i understand he's going to testify and we'll let the process unfold and the you remember how hillary clinton apparently wanted to kill julian assad with a drone well let's not get lost in the details but let's go over some recent whistleblowers in u.s. history.

some might argue that this case is different because this whistleblower didn't run to the press but simply followed standard procedure but the record seems to show that a lot of cases. have whistleblowers who do follow this procedure so why jail time for some of them but turns out the law does not actually protect them from retaliation they can be fired or prosecuted so are all future whistleblowers doomed well not quite secure backers carefully protecting whistleblowers who see wrongdoing of any kind in our government is essential so if you're a whistleblower in america take a step back look over what you have an ask yourself get this information benefit anyone powerful in america if not your official complaint will probably be ignored

and if you don't shut up after that the consequences could be severe the current whistleblowers case is very different from others. the others were blowing the whistle on the system so these were real real abuses what crimes and abuses of our 4th amendment now this new whistleblower we need to put in quotes what was he reporting of course there are double standards there are standards for those who want to put pursue their political aims using this particular whistleblower in quotes and there are other rules for people who really oppose the system and its abuses meanwhile the last of the new york times suggests that the u.s. house of television's committee chief might have colluded with the whistleblower according to the pace the anonymous cia agent spoke to adam schiff stuff before filing his complaint here's how donald trump reacted to that. there is

a report that came out just before you and president minister walked out here that the whistleblower met with the staff member of adam schiff prior i love that question to be filed it shows that schiff is a fraud i think it's a scandal that he knew before i'd go a step further i think he probably helped write it but this is not the only controversy the u.s. house intelligence committee chief boils and. explains. if there was an award for the star is tater of president trump certainly this man would make it to the list of nominees no need to remind why all right just watch this for a bit president was essentially trying to coerce a foreign leader to help us presidential campaign there seems to be no floor below which this president can drop serious a level of misconduct about his fundamental betrayal and president has told the american people that yes i leaned on ukraine to manufacture dirt on my opponent and

obviously with that in mind it's a piece of cake to guess what this guy's most cherished dream is impeachment for the maggot man it may be that we undertaken a peace nonetheless that compels us to travel down the road towards impeachment of those facts which are uncontested at this point compel us to move down the path of a formal impeachment inquiry well if you try and properly imagine yourself and mr shifts shoes you would probably say oh yeah what he's up to is totally legit because mr trump is on a mission to dig as much dirt as possible on as most dangerous democrat political opponent and for the president all means are good even if it's done through a phone conversation with ukraine's president who mr trump asked to once again hit the trail of joe biden solemn and so adam schiff was like it is illegal improper a violation of oath a violation of his duty to defend our elections our constitution for the president

to merely ask for foreign interference in our election well it's time to remind you of a different phone conversation from 2017 between now not donald trump this time adam schiff and supposedly the speaker of the ukrainian parliament the nature of the compromise well there were pictures of naked. ok so you have recordings of both the sochi. where they're discussing the compromising material on mr trump absolutely on that meaning no quickening told flynn so all those compromising materials will never leave. will can so little russian saying so. well obviously we would. welcome a chance to get copies of those recordings. so we will try to work with the f.b.i. to figure out along with their staff how we can obtain copies of those hoops i

forgot to mention something really important that was a prank although it seems mr sheriff was so hungry for the trouble he totally fell for it schiff was pretty serious he wrote all of what we said on the paper remembered all the detail karalee when you're looking for something to get trump out of there you're good to cross any lines nothing improper or probe worthy by the way speaking of dealing with the russians in some shape or form as we know anyone who gets themselves involved in that could be compromised or a spider on for the rest of their lives mr schiff once spoke to us r t r t made in russia get it there's a coalition that is looking at a lot of the national security issues a lot of the so-called war on terror issues including the authorization to use military force many of us on both sides of the aisle feel that that authorization now no longer really accurately describes the nature of the threat that we're

confronting should someone put him under a federal probe for that he or his assistants were probably talking to a few russians while the interview was being arranged oh that was long before donald trump showed up in the white house politics should be fine then she is certainly a very tribes those accused him of being shifty and shifty i think is a much more apt description. i mean what was going on was shift that was pranks that really wasn't that you say oh look we've got some major pictures of trump with some russian bookers do you want to see them so. ready to seize on that whereas i think trump was asking you know they got likely reasonable questions obviously he wants to bring down donald trump he tried to do it with russia i mean it was really one of the key figures in russia and so now here years is suddenly

you know from russia gate is moved on to ukraine get transfer leave which i think is reasonably believes that the origin of truck russia has to be found in ukraine and he was asking is a little help in investigating this and in this case ukraine gate is even lindsey or russia get so i think that you do a lot more damage share. a number of worldwide air travel passengers could soon decrease that's according to a new report highlighting the phenomenon of so-called flight samy the survey by its swiss bank u.b.s. found there while global air traffic is currently growing a 5th of respondents across the u.s. germany france and the u.k. had recently cut back on flying over environmentalists concerns and if this continues they expected growth could be hard some are calling this the gret effect in honor of the famous teen environmentalists. and on twitter there's debate about

what flight shaming means. of transportation 2 percent desire travel flight shaming is misguided still not quite sure about the impact of flight shaming people just love the freedom to explore but there's definitely room to consider alternatives and to make traveling more reasonable flying back and forth to business meetings in one day not always necessary i guess i read that european jet fuel demand is plummeting due to flight shaming by environmental activists i think it's time for some shaming shaming what do you think who should we start with. because opposing views from a political commentator and a climate campaign are. a line that they're increasing their low cost short flights and long haul flights is allowing people to travel to destinations they've never even dreamed of for at a lower price the most important thing is to show the effect that it's having on the earth and how we can better it i don't think there's any evidence that suggests

that by reducing or travel that somehow is going to have a significant impact on the earth's climate and if there is that evidence i haven't seen it yet to get a flight from london to meet is about 1.3 tons of emission of carbon dioxide this emitted whereas for example going by train is only 123 k.g. so i think the main focus is that you should be travelling friendlier if you can rather than getting on the plane and this is the permission aspect of this whole sort of green agenda ultimately what they're seeking to do is take away the freedom and liberty of just ordinary people to be able to enjoy this plan of any ordinary working people look forward to taking their fortnight's holiday off to some sunny destination and in the world there are basic to restrict or freedoms and our liberties to travel that is completely utterly unacceptable to me so if we can get

people from u.k. to go to france and. flats by just trained best that's just a small difference that will have a massive effect on maybe i don't know fast class train or something if that's what you can add to it but definitely set an example at ritter hypocrisy lies with the grettir fun bergs of this world who of course have been instrumental in this flight sharing in its origins in sweden as well and i'm sure new viewers will be interested to to reflect on the fact that voyage grabber managed to make it across the atlantic in a millionaire's solar powered yacht she also had to fly over 5 crew members to be able to get the boat back to europe so no matter how you look upon this it's just it's a popular sea almost on a cosmic level from these people that don't really seem to want to deal with the hard realities of the fact that most of the issues that affect our planet come from

the big thing that shines in the sky the sun and that's the the the on varnished truth that they all run from and instead they're very the virtues signal about flights. when he's coming up after this very short break.

secretary of state's my pompei osaze a. ceasefire in libya is a priority for washington he made those comments during a press conference in italy on wednesday meanwhile the former official spokesman for mama gadhafi has spoken to r.t. is going underground about america's role in libya's collapse singling out one former u.s. secretary of state in particular. what did you feel when you saw hillary clinton talk about gadhafi far from in those terms but the fact that basically. they hear him hillary clinton is a war criminal she knew what was happening in libya she understood this was revealed in her e-mails that were leaked by wiki leaks she said very clearly that the charges against gadhafi where at least exaggerated and that the french were into this because of the libyan gold and because of their objection to what khadafi was doing in africa but she went along with that because she knew that

with the collapse of libya they will have the states and europe a greater chance of controlling africa which they did. the americans now have many many military bases and they have increased and intensified their dig for gold for your rainy i'm in the asia for example for gold in birkenau fassel and for other natural resources the libyan oil and gas. and so the politicians there are nothing but servants for the machine. we can watch that full interview on saturday and on monday here on r.t. and also on our website r.t. dot com. u.s. president donald trump's got

rivalry between the united states and the e.u. then this threatens the unity of the western blot the fact that the u.s. is taking his job in ruling he would oppose so there's a severe tariffs or he. reflects either some severe problems economic problems in the united states or a possible position for some sort of. action. in the world perhaps military under the current situation with president roh he has definitely asserted that dominance and he is demanding that you are for the so he for us demands the european leaders or not ok with. number one but number 2 they are caught because
