oh well. now granted i am not. us democrats rallied to protect a whistle blower whose claims have triggered an impeachment inquiry we'll look at how they previously sought to prosecute those who were killed uncomfortable truths . a phenomenon of so-called flight shaming could reduce global air travel according to a new report we get 2 different views on the matter. i think the main focus is that you should be traveling friendlier if you can rather than getting on the plane basic. or freedom or liberty to travel on guard is completely utterly unacceptable. and there's bewilderment as the british museum warns art lovers about strong imagery and an exhibition of 19th century touring so 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 well you know we're not interested in going to a gallery of everything's blasted been going to remember your speech you know expects you to get. a very warm welcome to you you're watching r.t. international with me carrying. that democrats in the usa it's paramount concern that a whistleblower whose revelations triggered an impeachment inquiry against donald trump be protected and anonymous cia officer at large is that the us president pressured his ukrainian counterpart to investigate a potential 2020 rival trump has rubbished claims of improper conduct and branded the informant a spy. either got a totally wrong made it up or the person giving the information to the worst or blow it was dishonest and this country has to find out who that person was because

that person's a spot in my opinion so president probably doesn't realize. how dangerous his statements are when he says he wants to expose he the whistle blower is and those who may have given the whistleblower that information or democrats are keen to protect this particular whistleblower they've been less kit on defending those who revealed uncomfortable truths in the past head of more pain 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 whistle ball 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.

past 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. 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 one of the whistleblowers just mentioned in kenya's report is that edward snowden has reacted on twitter to calls to there to protect those who spilled the beans and those in the case of ex n.s.a. analyst daniel hale has been prosecuted for lifting the lid on u.s. drone warfare programs i mean while an oscar in the new york times suggests that the u.s. house intelligence committee chief might have colluded with the whistleblower

according to the piece the anonymous cia agent spoke to adam schiff star 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 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 has got himself and boiled down to trying to explain. if there was an award for the star on cheese 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 undertake an appeal none the less 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 you once again to hit the trail of joe biden 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 meeting and he told flynn so all those compromising materials will never release the 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 your 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 surely 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 one of those members of congress a leading the effort is adam schiff from california he joined me earlier and i think i will have the cumulative impact of making the pfizer court much more

transparent should someone put him under a federal probe for him 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. shift is certainly a very also a trance also accused him of being shifty and shifty i think is a much more apt description i mean what was going on was chiffons was pranksters that really was the areas they go we've got some major pictures of trump with some it was a russian hookers do you want to see them so yeah it was ready to seize on that whereas i think trump was asking you know i think logically reasonable questions of a state he wants to bring down donald trump he tried to do it with russia gate i mean it was really one of the key figures in russia and so now here ears is

suddenly you know from russia gate is moved on to ukraine get a chance to lead which i think is reasonably believes that the origin of truck russia gate is to be found in ukraine and he was asking is 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 ship. a number of worldwide air travel passengers could soon decrease that's according to a new report highlighting a phenomenon of so-called flight shaming the survey by a swiss bank u.b.s. found that while global air traffic is currently growing a 5th of respondents across the u.s. germany france and the u.k. have recently cut back on flying over any violence or concerns and if this continues they expect growth could be hard some are calling this the grettir effect in honor of the famous teen environmentalists. and the trends being discussed on

twitter. and this flight shaming the has been part of the gret effect travelling is one of the things that helps you learn the most about the world around us about the people and cultures of the world and helps everyone understand each other better. shaming shouldn't be a thing if your cash limited and time limited you haven't got the funds or time to schlep over land or sail for your one or 2 holidays a year instead shamed those who do business trips where video conferencing would suffice 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 we're going to posing these from a political commentator other climates company. a line that they're increasing that 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 in the world there or they seek to restrict or freedoms and our liberties to travel that is completely and utterly unacceptable to me so if we can get people from u.k. to go to france instead of flights by just train best that's just a small difference that will have a massive effect on maybe i don't know 1st class train or something if that's what you can a day but definitely set an example at ritter hypocrisy lies with the grettir fund bergs of this world who of course have been instrumental in this flight simming in its origins in sweden as well and i'm sure you viewers will be interested to to reflect on the fact that boyd's grabber managed to make it across the atlantic in a millionaire's solar parred 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 see almost on

a cosmic level from these people that don't really seem to want to deal with the 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 virtues signal about flights we're back with more news after this short break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy for him to you shouldn't let it be an arms race of his on off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. more some want to be rich. but you're going to be cross that's what before 3 of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of my. question. welcome back violence sadness and fantasy well these are just some of the themes you might expect to see when you visit and all its gallery but the u.k.

is renowned tate britain museum has deemed a warning necessary for a new exhibition of 19th century drawings by william blake. never ever ever we need to see the visions of people's minds not how we'd like the world to lose if they think they feel offended in this very very easily upon the world we live in you know we're not interested in going to gallery of everything's blended in the congo julian but your species expects music. i think you've got jackson's a religious grandson did that something. and i suppose i would have issues if there is another sexual violence against women or anything like that that being when in

hillary clinton is a war criminal she knew what was happening in libya she understood and 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
