a christian doctor indeed fails to get his sacking overturned at an employment tribunal after. refusing to use different pronouns of for transgender people we spoke to the dr. christine is. for people at the police headquarters in paris the attacker was shot and killed by

officers. and as u.s. democrats rally to protect the whistleblower whose claims have triggered an impeachment inquiry we look at how they previously sought to prosecute those who revealed uncomfortable truths. or broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our team international i'm sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us all right 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 in an interview with r.t. dr david mackerras explained why he refused to back down in the dispute. as a christian i would consider the dishonest use pronouns with no way.

to make a christian or god. as a doctor it's quite simply unscientific. that i would never refuse to treat any patient that whatever they are they come from the question here is with a rope and be forced to do something so something which goes deep is my conscience . live with it but i desire not to be forced to do something that i cannot do. artie's shadi adwords daschle has borne the story. well you're probably familiar with pronounce such as he she and them and respecting them is especially important for the transgender community gender nonconforming and binary people however face it get it right could now cost you your job at least that's the case for one doctor he himself was sacked he faced

dismissal because he failed to use these pre-announced or to his own personal religious beliefs and in a controversial court statement it read to his christian values are 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 wine to faith he's why defrayed 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 makris refused and said. 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 mack white spheres 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 tribe you know did rule of course the his beliefs could cause offense and in fact many people in the trance 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 mask perth is now saying he will appeal the decision. doc dr makarov says the ruling against him sets a dangerous precedent. i was taken off the shore or it was icy interrogated or the joke is. about were believed by my manager of people the people of the shop floor of the national health service known about their beliefs this is really really the

precedents that have been set in my case and that's that's why we're really quite shocked at the corpus very quickly the 1st one is that you know the the transgender movement maps into the 2nd one is the age of the oppressed and it's the belief that what made us male and female and that sex out of pronouns of it's not allowable ball is that cool 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 to. the i don't know refuse to treat any patient of whatever background they are they come from. poor people have been killed and several others wounded after a man armed with a knife attacked a police headquarters in paris saillant has been identified as an i.t. specialist the motives for the stabbing are still unclear here's artie's cho

dubinsky. a deadly night for rampage unfolded just behind me about 100 meters away in the hague the paris police say 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. 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 customer the interior minister president of france as well as the prime minister philippe 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 filling 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 and 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. actually what we do know is that the assailant was 45 years old he was neutralized at the scene before being lice was able to attack and kill 4 of his colleagues and injured several of those so that people ski all see paris. us democrats are demanding protection for a whistleblower whose revelations triggered an impeachment inquiry against donald trump an anonymous cia officer alleges the president pressured his ukrainian counterpart to investigate an issue involving joe biden one of his potential rivals in next year's race for the white house trump has dismissed claims of improper conduct and branded informant a spy either got a totally wrong 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 whistle blower that information. while democrats are keen to protect this particularly whistleblower they have been less supportive of others in the past artie's. has commentary. 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 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 through what i've said publicly that i've lost everything. we got special ops forces i mean 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 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 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 people just mentioned in caleb's reporters that edward snowden he has reacted on twitter highlighting the case of former n.s.a. analyst daniel hale who is being prosecuted for lifting of the lid on u.s. drone warfare programs. meanwhile weekly leaks founder julian assange still awaits

his fate in a u.k. jail an extradition hearing has been set for february next year to decide whether he will be sent to the u.s. to face espionage charges which was arrested in london earlier this year after spending 7 years inside the ecuadorian embassy we spoke to his father about his concerns and hopes for his son. he lost 15 kilos weight and. has some anxiety some strongly every day he can with his no actually the everyday life and when this is going to mean. he was to says visits to. the if you could get. no exit

2223. and he's. so cheap and 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 delays hopes for cation and scheming in the case of international law as the united kingdom has. in turn to its know will ignore the conventions that it signed on to for saw at least a. 175 years joe is a death sentence also the progressive. procedure will

prosecution julian over the years and knees and knees now managing to 9 years well what would you call progressive murder. of julian and ritchie leaks julian as a journalist and we could leaks as a publisher he brought immeasurable benefits to millions of people it allows us to see how the geo political structure is composed and disposed and the disposition of people there in the who took the bribes who's sordid and treacherous to the invasion and who resisted and maintained their integrity. just to seek some truth and some justice against obscene cruelty seems well it motivates me and.

looks like it motivates june and president trump has lashed out at the u.s. house intelligence committee chief adam schefter calling him a fraud as follows a media report that schiff might have met with an unnamed individual who leaked part of a conversation between trump and of the president of ukraine. 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 this is not the only controversy from the right involving the u.s. house intelligence committee chief has his own unique commentary. if there was an award for the star on cheers tator of president 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 and mr schiff's 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 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 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 sochi. 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 spoke to us r t r t made in russia get it one of those members of congress leading the effort is out of shift from california he joined me earlier about 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 adam schiff 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 since 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. i have a dozen from the back of the top the hour with more news this is international stay with us.

what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected . so when you want to express injury. or some want to. have to go right to be close that's what the 3 of them all and people are. interested always in the audience at. city hall. and i think that impedes the elections will be the most. recent american history because the stakes are incredibly party for both sides. the stake in small

just implementation of his domestic politics but actually avoiding prison for the democrats the stake is if we doing even deeper crisis of the. basic the survival of the traditional elites it's the problem. for both. what about this is our international and the top of the hour kamala quicker than i thought anyway thursday march 29 years since east and west germany were reunited but for many people the process is still not over and angelo steps us reports now from berlin. 29 years ago western east became one of unity after decades of division idea of hope for people on both sides of the wall the 'd

was the but it seems that the initial euphoria felt wall the wall was coming down has lost a child over the years just the realisation a 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 who demand something from us german unity is not a state of affairs that is wrapped up and completed just once but rather a continual process a constant mission that in fact all germans will that is certainly the case if a 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 but this 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 east european countries remained quite conservative in terms of culture tradition and right now when merkel decided to open the borders how must be because the east germans were you to culture and tradition and history much more to the west germans want to be very modern and very western and very globalist for them such a must meet relation is not of threat to their identity in east germany when you want to stay in a culturally german and rome and you see it as a threat to your collective identity the growing dissatisfaction in the east was

made all too clear in a recent election the region was soaring concert early support behind the right wing none the solace of an alternative for germany party in a way unity day is like a family reunion everybody is happy to be back together but with all tensions never being far from the surface. violence sadness and fantasy these are just some of the themes you might expect to see when you visit an art gallery but the tate britain museum in london has deemed a warning necessary for a new exhibition of 1900 centuries 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 are getting this very very easily if in the world we live in you know we're not interested in going to gallery of everything's planted in the jungle julian by your vision books music and. i think you got to actions of religious grand scale that something. i suppose i would have issues if there is another sexual violence against women or anything like that but being invited to take. the bad press some expensive by our all to suck considered by you to be inappropriate so we have noticed a facebook consistently rejects works of all peter paul rubens.

right that doesn't for me for real this time i will be back at the top of the hour watching our international stay with us. on the surface this is not reported because it's too hard flying to speak of. the fact that a credit markets reach such a state of distress disrepair. that's. causing a run on the dollar. senator chuck schumer famously said shortly after trump was elected to take on the

intelligence community they have 6 ways from sunday at getting back to you in light of the failed russia gate hoax and this nonsense with ukraine this characterization appears to be spot on should be all fear the deep state. they dug it out. and he. and i are now and be to me that i the head that ahd a key the halley's a but auda not good enough to be. the good that it denied it good. how do you know how didn't know you don't know what if i didn't know cause people. was a commissionaire to look after the low class people. that are people without legs i get.
