here is someone who will do the board. christine don't threaten the united kingdom fails to get his sacking overturned at an employment tribunal after he was fired for refusing to use different pro downs for transgender people we spoke with the doctor. christianity is not society you. kills people it's a police headquarters in paris a number of others were left injured before the attack was shot. and it's us democrats rallied to protect the whistleblower whose claims have triggered an impeachment inquiry we look at sally previously sought to prosecute those who

revealed uncomfortable truths. thanks so much for joining us it's r t international. still in the u.k. where 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 employer he says that they discriminated against his religious beliefs but an employment tribunal has ruled his stance was quote incompatible with human dignity more details his child he added stashed. well you're probably familiar with pronouns such as he she and them and respecting them is especially important for the transgender community gender nonconforming and binary people however fail to 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 lack of 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 why different youth he is why different 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 the department for work and

pensions argues that dr david mark critz fears are in direct breach of the equality act of 2010 on top of all of that the firm that hired the man is also being sued for religious beliefs but the fact remains that the tribunals did rule of course that his beliefs could cause offense and in fact many people in the trans community and trans activists say that all of this has psychological ram of 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 graham is now saying he will appeal the decision. well earlier i spoke to the doctor in question david mack you outlined the press that he says this ruling now set i was taken off the shop floor and i was i so interrogated all the judges that i had heard. about were believed by my manager of people of the people of the shop

floor of the national health service known very vivid about their beliefs this is really really the precedents that have been set for my case and that's that's why we're really quite shocked at the core prescriptive very quickly the 1st one is that you know not believe the transgender movement matter since the 2nd one is comparable to the age of the oppressed and it's that belief that god made us male and female and that war sex out of pronouns of it's not allowable ball is that core christian beliefs or christianity is not compatible with modern society or human dignity these are very big questions each one of those huge is a huge blow. and that i would never refuse to treat any patients that whatever they are they come from the question here is whether i can be forced to do something and so something which goes deep that gets my. 4 police officers are being

killed and several others wounded have to a man wielding a knife attacked a police headquarters in paris the motives behind the attack they're still unclear r.t. shela doing escape reports. a deadly night for rampage unfolded just behind me about 100 meters away in the hague at the paris police day lunchtime it's been confirmed 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 very specific. 4 people dead their staff members of the police headquarters 3 men and 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 is age 45 and his home is currently being searched additional searches will take place within the next hours

while those investigations now underway christopher customary the interior minister president of france as well as the prime minister filippo all come here to find out exactly what happened there are also being many tributes paid to those officers 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 mean 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 pensions 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 in is 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 incidents 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 jollity artsy paris. democrats in the united states so it's vital a whistleblower is protected after his revelations triggered an impeachment inquiry against an anonymous cia officer alleges the president pressured his ukrainian counterpart to investigate an issue surrounding joe biden one of his potential rivals for next year's race for the white house the president himself is this miss

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 of lho was dishonest and this country has to find out who that person was because that person is a spy in my opinion so president traveling 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 whistle blower that information. well democrats are keen to protect this particular whistleblower they've been less pouts others who've revealed uncomfortable truths in the past and i'm open takes a look. we are now told that in this dark age of trumpington 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 now do you remember how hillary clinton apparently wanted to kill julian assad with a drone well let's not get lost in details but let's go over some recent whistleblowers in u.s. history.

i never tortured anybody. but i did get into prison while the tortures of the lawyers and people who were and the people who deceived and the man who destroyed the proof of the tapes will never sees justice i've never gained anything from what i've said publicly that i lost everything. we had special ops forces the dead man can't leaks up this guy's a traitor a treasonous illegally shoot the son of a. don't

think mr snowden was a patriot he is a law breaker he violated american law he violated his duties that he assumed when he took the job that he had let's look at snowden here you know some might try to should say that oh he's a great human rights crusader he is not at all like the great human rights crusaders in the past and 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 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 been 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 whistle blowers case is very different from others. the others who were blowing the whistle on the system so these were real real abuses what crimes and abuses. so our 4th amendment now this new whistleblower we need to put in quotes what was she reporting of course there are double standards there are standards for those who want to put purser their political aims using this particular whistleblower in quotes and there are other rules for people who really oppose the system and its abuses or the whistleblowers just mentioned there in college

reporters edward snowden who reacted on twitter to calls to protect those who spill the beans noting the case of x. and i say on the list daniel hale who's being prosecuted for lifting the lid on u.s. drone warfare programs. we can leaks founder julian assange still awaits his fate in the u.k. jail an extradition hearing has been set for february of next year where he'll find out if you'll be sent to the u.s. to face espionage charges sounds was arrested in london earlier this year after spending 7 years in asylum in ecuador an embassy he spoke to his father about his concerns and hopes for his son. he lost 15 kenyans worried and. anxiety some strongly. he can look with his no actually. i think when this is going to mean.

he was to visit. if you could get. no exit 2223. he's. so solitary confinement no access to computers limited access to books. to the gym. so you can see the. crew. well it's been in the case of you cables constant distortion of procedure. hopes to cations gaming in the case of international was the united kingdom has. been turned its no will ignore the conventions that it signed on to

for saw at least a. 175. is a death sentence also the progressive procedure will prosecution julian over the years and needs and need is now managing to 9 years well what would you call a progressive murder. work of julian and wiki leaks julian as a journalist and we could leaks as a publisher he brought immeasurable benefit to millions of people it allows us to say how the geo political structure is composed and disposed and the disposition of people there in who took the bribes whose sordid and treacherous to the russians and who resisted. and maintained their

integrity. just to seek some truth and some justice against obscene cruelty same's well it motivates me and. my looks like it motivates julian. meanwhile logical in the new york times suggests that the u.s. house intelligence committee chief might have colluded with the whistleblower according to the report the anonymous cia agent spoke to adam schiff staff before filing his complaint he's out on the 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 on this is not the only controversy the u.s. house intelligence committee chief has got himself and the experts. if there was an

award for the star inches tator 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 a pietschmann slow 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 once spoke to us r t r t made in russia get it one of those members of congress a leading the effort is out of shift from california he joined me earlier you've

got thank you 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 of a city he wants to bring down donald trump he tried to do it with the russian gate i mean the ship was really one of the key figures in russia and so now here ias is suddenly you know from russia gate is moved on to ukraine get a chance to leave which i think is reasonably based there at 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 ship. germany's marking the 29th anniversary of its reunification however a recent survey suggests it's not all celebration of top politicians of admitted there's still plenty to be done and so sips aspects of the story. 29 years ago western east became one unity after decades of the vision idea of hope for people on both sides of the wall c. it was. but it seems that the initial euphoria felt wall the wall was coming down has lost a child over the years just the realisation the how big of a task bringing these 2 sides together would be the grace luck of german unity must not be gilded and placed in the nation's trophy cabinet rather it remains unfinished it challenges us to demand something from us german unity is not

a state of affairs that is wrapped up and completely just wants but rather a continual process a constant mission that affects all germans that is certainly the case if our recent poll is to go by which shows that many east germans are dissatisfied with democracy 41 percent of those quiz say that they have no more freedom of expression now than what they had before the wall came down 58 percent of those say that they don't feel more protected by the state now than what they did during communist times the best germany over be 40 years of separation has developed in a way which was not to expect. western europe at all has a problem with its identity they went away from the history of from the culture and east germany like most eastern european countries remained quite conservative in terms of culture of tradition and right now when merkel decided to open the borders

how must be creation because the east germans well you do culture and tradition and history much more to the west germans want to be very modern and very western and very globalists for them such a must meet relation is lot of threat to their identity less in east german. when you want to just stay in a culturally juvenile room and you see it as a threat to your collective adjust to the growing dissatisfaction in the east was made all too clear in a recent election the region was showing considerably support behind the right wing not in this hour wish when alternative for germany party in a way unity day is like a family reunion everybody's happy to be back together but with all tensions never being far from the surface. trump has been given the green light to impose 7 and a half $1000000000.00 with the terrorist song goods exported from the european union

the ruling by the world trade organization is the largest in its history part of a 15 year battle over illegal subsidies made to european playmaker. but senator allen journalists seized the chance to express her opposition to the move handing the u.s. secretary of state a large wedge of parmesan cheese counter happened during a photo op 3 month and italy's prime minister in rome wednesday. but he was there as i was and he was. the as he was we've us the journalist handing out that cheese to palm pio what was behind her gesture. usa market is very important wrong italian export because it's something. a 12 percent of our all export so.

i was stored there if they taste a little be very gentle they would never eat any other cheese i just wanted to tell them look that's what you could lose if you put duty is on our products. the new tariffs could come into force as soon as october 18th and will include a 10 percent levy on european aircraft and 25 percent on popular food items such as scotch whiskey and french cheese brussels warns it's ready to retaliate. if the u.s. decides to impose w.t.r. authorize 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 u.s. trade offices expects to enter talks with the e.u. in a bid to resolve the dispute european affairs expert or rasmussen believes ordinary people will suffer the most not the corporations. it's a very complicated world out there right now i mean this could be we won't know

really the immediate impact in him especially when you look at aircraft after a long. you know long lead time in item so i mean nearly of our airline buy from both boeing and from airbus and that. this could have ramifications down the line on their bottom line as well the math and the only near term but the long term you could see prices increase will you get the break then preform other apollo being the terror of. the company not the kind of pretty good paper that the average person that they that the bottom line in and i think this could disrupt the white cane in the just that addition to what's going on in asia and definitely put additional pressure on the. global trade in the global economy within the next year . international relations are the focus of russia's annual valdai conference was the events final day in the black sea resort of sochi the title for
