here watching our 2 international bring you your live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. for police officers have been killed and several others wounded after a man wielding a knife attack the police headquarters in paris the motives behind the attack are still unclear r.t. charlotte devinsky reports. a deadly rampage unfolds just behind me about 100 meters away in the hague at the paris police day lunchtime it's being concerned now that 4 people died in that attack we understand that the attack was carried out by one of their own one of their colleagues who also injured several other individuals let's get the latest details now on the response of. people to their staff members of the police headquarters 3 men one woman an investigation has been opened and is being headed by the police we will seek to establish the motives

of the perpetrator who was neutralized by a police officer at the scene the presumed attacker. and his home is currently being so additional searches will take place within the next. well those investigations now underway chris to cast into the into even a step president of france as well as the prime minister and with felipe of all come here to find out exactly what happened there will also be many tributes paid to those offices who lost their lives. paris's mornin it's on the south to noon after this appalling attack on the police headquarters the toll is heavy several policemen have lost their lives in my name and that of presents my 1st thoughts go to the families of the victims and their relatives the motive for this attack is not yet clear but one police union described this as being a moment of madness and it is of course just 24 hours since we saw those huge police protests across the country with police officers talking about the stresses

that they face in their work the psychological stress is the sheer amount of work they're having to do and also the violence they face as they trying to carry out their jobs we spoke to some officers at that march on wednesday to get them to explain those precious to us the best usually 3 today the police have no money yes salaries keep killing our status and our pension are being attacked officers are tired with the yellow vast meaning that there is a lot of work sacrificing their family life and we are expressing a deep depression in our profession. i'm here to defend our working conditions the threat to our special pension status the lack of resources across the board. we are the police officers from france not just riot police but also misses all the unions we've all gathered to express our discontent with the administration the silence about the way the police suicides this year we are short of staff short of

money we cannot do our job and here to tell the administration that that stress police officers are also coming due to the volume of work that they've been doing paris of course in france of course has been at the high alert for terror since 2015 and since then officers support some 23000000 additional hours much of that has not been paid for them the motive for this attack is no. clear what we do know is that the assailant was 45 years old he was neutralized at the scene before being utilized was able to attack and kill 4 of his colleagues and injure several of those shows that people ski. paris. in the u.k. a christian doctor who was sacked after refusing to use female pronouns when discussing a transgender woman has lost his legal fight against his former employers he says

they discriminated against his religious beliefs but an employment tribunal has ruled his stance was incompatible with human dignity with more details here shall be a word stuff there. well you're probably familiar with pronouns such as he or she and them and respecting them is especially important for the transgender community gender nonconforming and binary people however face you get it right could now cost you your job at least that's the case for one dr he himself was sacked he faced dismissal because he failed to use these pronouns due to his own personal religious beliefs and in a controversial court statement it read his christian values were in direct contradiction with the fundamental rights of others and that belief in transgenderism and conscientious objection to transgenderism in our judgment incompatible with human dignity and conflict with the fundamental rights of others in so far as those beliefs form part of his wind if anything he's wanting to phrase also does not satisfy the requirement of being worthy of respect in

a democratic society so what's the case well dr david margaret as a christian man who worked for the n.h.s. for 26 years now he was subsequently sacked after a conversation with his boss who asked him how would you respond if a 6 foot tall man came into your office and asked to be called mrs or she well dr makary refused and said he would simply not be able to conform to those requests and he was subsequently sacked from his position now he was completely shocked as to how the story unfolded because he himself believes a person's chosen sex is simply an abstract ideological pledge staff in the n.h.s. even those who don't share my christian convictions or also disturbed as they see their own freedom of thought and speech being undermined by the judge's ruling my 30 years as a doctor are now considered irrelevant compared to the risk that someone else might be offended now the department for work and pensions argues that dr david mark

critz fears are in direct breach of the equality act of 2810 on top of all of that the firm that hired them and. is also being sued for religious beliefs in fact many people online have taken to twitter and arguing that this is political correctness gone mad and especially given the lack of doctors up and down the country at the moment this is certainly a step too far so the law requires on pain of being sacked a doctor to refer to a 6 foot bearded man is madam if that's what he wants utterly bonkers the world we live in upside down land good is bad but it's good. you key to any 19 compelled speeches here dr loses tribunals case for refusing to use made up transgendered pronouns even worse the ruling steeds christian belief is not worthy of respect and incompatible with human dignity but the fact remains that the tribe you know did

rule of course that has believed could cause offense and in fact many people in the trans community and trans activists say that all of this house psychological damage ramifications is tantamount to abuse not to mention of course that medical health care professionals should be treating people and not judging people in their opinion well anyway dr david is now saying he will appeal the decision. democrats in the us say it's vital a whistleblower is protected after his revelations triggered an impeachment inquiry against donald trump an anonymous cia officer alleges the president pressured his ukrainian counterpart to investigate an issue surrounding joe biden one of his potential rivals in next year's race for the white house trump has dismissed claims of improper conduct and brand 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 spot in my opinion so president traveling doesn't realize. how dangerous his statements are when he says he wants to expose to the whistle blower is and those who may have given the whistleblower that information while democrats are keen to protect this particular whistleblower they've been less so about others who revealed uncomfortable truths in the past hale bopp and takes a closer look. we are now told that in this dark age of trumping in 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.

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 so it 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. one of the whistleblowers just mentioned in caleb's report added i've heard snowden reacted on twitter to calls to protect those who come forward noting the case of the x. and i say analyst daniel hale is being prosecuted for lifting the lid on u.s. drone warfare programs. meanwhile an article in the new york times suggests that the u.s. house intelligence committee chief might have colluded with the whistleblower according to the reports the anonymous cia agent spoke to adam schiff staff before

filing his complaint is how donald trump reacted to that bryza report that came out just before you and president needed to walked out here that the whistleblower met with a 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 this is not the only controversy the u.s. house intelligence committee chief has gotten himself embroiled in as are trying to explain. if there was an award for the. 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 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 nonetheless that compels us to travel down the road towards impeachment well if you try and properly imagine yourself in 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 his 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 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 27 thing 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 so check. where they're discussing the compromising material on mr trump absolutely on that meeting 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 forgot to mention something really important that was a prank although it seems mr shift 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 ones spoke to us r t r t made in russia get it one of those members of congress leading the effort is adam schiff from california he joined me earlier you both thank you 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. schiff is certainly a very also a trans also accused him of being shifty and shifty i think is a much more apt description of a state he wants to bring down donald trump he tried to do it with the russian gate

i mean and i'm sure it was really one of the key figures in russia and so now here ias is suddenly you know from from russia gate is moved on to ukraine get a chance to leave which i think is reasonably based 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 flimsier the russian gate so i think that will probably do a lot more damage share goban is that day continues after this short break. and i think that the impedes the elections will be the most. recent american history because the stakes are incredibly party for both sides for donald trump the

stake is small just implementation of his domestic politics but actually avoiding prison for the democrats. is that if we bring even deeper crisis of the party. the survival of the 2 additional elites it gets the problem all so for both. on the surface this is not reported because it's too hard trying to speak up that exact day the credit markets reach such a state of just just repair that that's. causing the dollar.

welcome back donald trump has been given the green light to impose a $7500000000.00 worth of tariffs on goods exported from the e.u. the ruling by the world trade organization is the largest and it's history and it's part of a 15 year battle over illegal subsidies made to european plane maker air bus and italian journalist sees the chance to express her opposition to the move by handing the u.s. secretary of state a large wedge of parmesan cheese encounter happened during a photo opportunity between mike pump aoe and italy's prime minister in rome on wednesday. i think that he. thinks. that a show. that you tariffs could come into force as soon as the 18th of october and will include

a 10 percent levy on european aircraft and 25 percent on popular food items like scotch whiskey and french cheese brussels has warned it's ready to retaliate. if the u.s. decides to impose w t o o thrice counter-measures it will be pushing the e.u. into a situation where we will have no other option than to do this saying the us trade office says it expects to enter talks with the e.u. in a bid to resolve the dispute european affairs expert are all restless and believes ordinary people will suffer most not corporations. it's a very complicated world out there right now i mean this this could be we won't necessarily the immediate impact in him especially when you look at aircraft aircraft for a long. you know long lead time in item so i mean many of our airlines buy from both boeing and from airbus and this could. this could have ramifications down the line on their bottom line as well so it could be not in the bill in the near term

but the long term you could see prices increase well you could see prices been preached from other apollo being the terror of. the company that's not the kind of that paper that it the average person that that's the bottom line and i think you're this could disrupt the supply chain in the just that addition to what's going on in asia and definitely put additional pressure on. global trade and the global economy within the next year. by alliance sadness fantasy these are just some of the themes you might expect to see when you visit an art gallery but the u.k. is renowned tate britain museum has deemed a warning necessary for a new exhibition of 1900 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 that you can be taking this very very easily if in the world we live in you know we're not interested in going to gallery of everything's been. going to limbo your species expects you to get. i think you've got to actions of religious grand scale that something. i suppose i would have issues if there was another sexual violence against women or anything like that that being when a bank had to take a. listen . to. the

bad press some explain. considered by you to be inappropriate we have noticed a facebook consistently rejects works of all of it peter paul rubens. live. the iraqi government's put an indefinite curfew on the capital amid reports of more than a dozen deaths and hundreds of injuries as a wave of violent protests weeps that country.

demonstrations began on tuesday over unemployment and corruption with clashes erupting when the army staff tend to defend the heavily fortified green zone police time to play tear gas rubber bullets and lie fire against protesters who say they're angry at the way the country is being run. all that day i did come to your senses adel go away we didn't elect you the iraqi people don't have real elections anymore you have changed the turnout from 19 to 45.5 percent there were no elections according to the laws of all the countries in the world if the turnout is less than 19 percent elections didn't take place no matter if they are true iraqis and honest people they will immediately hold an emergency session to make the prime minister the leader of the army and the interior affairs minister resign the blood was spilled for iraq true iraqis took up the streets for iraq for our land we are

iraqis and we love our countering if they are traitors that will be our neighbors we the iraqis won't sell our homeland the government's also restricted internet access in a bid to control the unrest and this has coincided with a visit by a high ranking iraqi officials to the u.s. the move is seen by some as a sign of loyalty to washington at baghdad now on lockdown iraq's prime minister says it's up to local governors to decide whether to declare curfews and their own provinces. that's a news break down for this hour thanks for tuning in robby maybe. we will have a situation where grandchildren or little children ask their great grandparents. is it true that all these cars used to have people driving in the break room

to shoot that's what we used to do. oh why a paradise with some all year round turned into a round the experimentation field for 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 where 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 this because the people have less political power.

when lawmakers manufacture consent instant of public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. when the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent. of the time we can all middle of the room signals. tomorrow.

readings in the cell you taishan. responsibility yes that work responsibility seems like a lost cause these days hawk watchers the act of taking responsibility for one's actions seem to be just as mystifying to the modern political world as trigonometry is to a 5 year old take the united states military africa operations for example back in march of this year was reported that a u.s. airstrike run by africa in somalia targeted and killed 3 al shabaab terrorists while they were riding in the toyota surface suvi in somalia's lower shall region evil terrorist warded good guys when truck blown up. and the story well. not so much it appears that amnesty international felt there was more to this story than what africa was letting up lead bit a little digging and discovered that all evidence appears to reveal that the 3 men were nothing more than civilian farmers not terrorists but the story didn't end

there at the time of the airstrike afrikan issued a press release stating we are aware of reports alleging civilian casualties were resulting from this airstrike as with any allegation of civilian casualties we received u.s. africa command a command will review any information it has about the incident including any relevant information provided by 3rd parties. however good friends of amnesty international disagree with the statement observing that in may a journalist writing for foreign policy provided africa with evidence that abraham mohammad heerey one of the men in the car was a civilian and passed on contact information for his relatives but to date africa has not reached out to any of them. i guess asking africa to take responsibility for its mistakes and learning from them is just too much to ask everybody it's not like there are a lives at stake or anything like that. oh yeah there is now let's

start watching the hawks. it's. like you know that i got. sick. while going to watching the ox i am tyrrel but for. that's so amnesty international's just so we're clear on everything in their investigation amnesty international interviewed 11 people about that march 18th strike that included family members those who had been to the scene and the staff at the telecom company where the men also.
