in the big news of the week at the u.s. democrats divine protection for the whistleblower the heart of the trump impeachment inquiry a dramatic departure of the way other key informants have been treated. well we'll update you. also as people in india and around the world mark 150 years since the birth of mahatma gandhi seen as an icon of nonviolent resistance posters of his image defaced in some regions lighting celebrations. flashing the ok hand gestures apparently not ok anymore it's no branded a hate symbol and got one theme park worker the sack in the u.s. . you can find it ok so. when you search for the.

it's ok the problem is that the symbol has become an actual code to say hey we are part of this group you are an odd. good morning from moscow just turned 11 am here now this sunday watching out international news of the return of the last 7 days the big stories we brought to you we kept together my name is kevin now in 1st i'm going to start in the u.s. events and developments on the impeachment inquiry to into donald trump is rumbling on but now a 2nd whistle blow is reportedly considering filing a complaint over the president's dealings with ukraine and seems that intelligence official is said to have more direct information than the person who 1st raised the meantime democrats spearheading the probe are demanding protection for the informants involved so that's a far cry from attitudes to other whistle blows even in recent years as caleb

maupin reports. 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 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 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 going to peru and the people who deceived and the man who destroyed the proof of the tapes will never face justice i've never gained anything through what i've said publicly that i've lost everything.

we had special ops forces the dead man can leak stuff this guy's a traitor a treasonous illegally shoot son of a. mr snowden was a patriot he is a law breaker he violated american law he violated his duties he assumed when he took the job that he had let's look at snowden here you know some might try to say that oh 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 whistle blowers 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 no 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. all the people just mentioned in caleb's report edward snowden has reacted on twitter saying it's unbelievable that the media isn't pressing politicians about the case of another whistleblower ex n.s.a. analyst daniel hale who's being prosecuted for if he lived on the u.s. drone warfare programs time when the democrats are making statements about supporting informants. there's a big anniversary this last week india of the world celebrated the 150th birthday of the spiritual leader and the symbol of the nation again on wednesday major political parties paid tribute to go the they even ordered officials to undertake pilgrimages walking up to 15 kilometers a day in their constituencies and sleeping in villages as well and these legacies recognized globally coarseness birthday the 2nd of october is celebrated worldwide

as international day of nonviolence indian prime minister modi and his praises at the un. gone be mahatma gandhi was an indian but he not only belong to india he stayed far away from the government today in the hearts of billions of people idea of his interest the lives of people who never met you from martin luther king jr to nelson mandela. but then spearheading the independence movement to have a go and is often referred to as a father of the nation throughout his life he promoted the ideology of nonviolent resistance and tolerance towards other religions in the funny shook off british colonial rule in 1947 but a year later gandhi was assassinated by hindu nationalists and everyone seems to be enamored to this day there with the peace and tolerance icon and these poster in one northeastern city was to face with graffiti saying the traitor of the nation but also claims that an urn with some of his ashes inside is stolen the editor of news magazine india today blames the act on the descendants of the same hindu

extremists who killed the. dog a member that not too long. and some of the is a source shot. my gun in the your. 148 the members of this not poor dumb got sick group who also claim to be induced they have a very narrow notion of in the wisdom they want to impose some very sort of you know archaic notions of hindu ism deep believe that mark mundanity gandhi was responsible for the partition of india they think that he was appeasing the muslim the muslim league which demanded the creation of pakistan i think such groups have been told to leave marginalised and because they are marginalized therefore they carry on extremist activities so i don't see this group of this kind

of activity coming into the mainstream i see them carrying on these kind of activities once in a while in order to stay afloat they make all kinds of extremist arguments sometimes they have even built held responsible for some amount of violence so you know very sort of broaden and grow grass the notion of nationalism which i think majority indians understand and that's why such extremist groups can never become the mainstream groups in the country and just before we leave this story letting him know that we plot the life of mahatma gandhi later in the day erin about 10 minutes of a feature length report if put together for if you want to catch it you can see it then you can also see it online and it tell you want to catch a comb. immediately. but it is a group but in the dark place like put it in

a boat with a group they. love. if it is a british naval you get an event but didn't played me. you can't do that in a haitian. yeah. but let's drop the could be over but let's go on to could be a bed that it's going to be could be a 12 year old child it could be any of these people but we need the big sky which is ready for people's deal of the wire because she the. story from when they last the got a lot of you were chatting about it sort of a christian doctor in the u.k. lost his legal fight against his former employer who sacked him for refusing to use female pronouns for

a transgender woman in an interview that he gave to us dr david macro to explain why he refused to back down in the dispute is over christian i would consider to be utterly dishonest used her notes in that way and simple deeply affected my christian based on my walk with god and secondly as a doctor it's quite simply unscientific and unproven. that there are no refuse to treat any patient of whatever background they are they come from the question here is whether i can be forced to do something so something which goes deep it's my. only good and desire i don't know what it but i desire not to be forced to do something that i cannot do dr david micros work for britain's national health service for 26 years despite that he was subsequently sacked after a conversation with his manager during which he refused hypothetically to refer to gets complicated quote

a 6 foot tall bearded man as madam well while the doctor insists his beliefs have been discriminated nonetheless an employment tribunal ruled that his objection was incompatible with human dignity. a lack of belief in transgenderism and conscientious objections of transgenderism in our judgments are incompatible with human dignity and conflict with the fundamental rights of others in so far as those police form part of his wider faith his wider faith also does not satisfy the requirements of being worthy of respect in a democratic society dr mcchrystal says the ruling against him sets a dangerous precedent. i was taken off the show floor and i was i say tara gated all the judges did i. believe my manager people going to be pulled off the show floor of the national health service don't interrogate 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. very quickly the 1st one is that you know not

believe the transgender movement's maxims the 2nd one is speech the president believes that what made us male and female and sex and pronouns affixed it's not allowable in the full is a cool christian believes christianity is not compatible with. human dignity these are very big questions each one of those here is a huge blow to freedom 13 minutes past 11 moscow time good morning from miami kevin one of the team without say this is coming up after the break top 6 scare off to a massive fart of french chemicals 5 triple the locals really worried what was in that smoke despite the authorities say the much to worry about we'll tell you why there were more details on the back. of a. survival

guide upstate to get a hold of a start to. get. back to. 0. repatriations or get the right to 7 years. billable kaiser for.

again a major fire and major worries for locals but what was in the smoke that went up during said fire nonetheless authorities in the french city of ruah have declared the area safe after a major blaze in a nearby chemical factory late last month there is no risk regarding asbestos fiber in the air the results of 3 a specialist tests are available. here we are in the area closest to the place of the disaster and we can see that the white swans have stayed there in their habitat and there is no trace of pollution in the water so we have physical proof that the environment and wildlife are not currently factored by the pollution that occurred

to the 2 further away. time to try to calm fears the french government even set up an emergency helpline but locals are still deeply concerned for their health and dispute the claims by the authorities that the air is safe to breathe shallow do bensky went there. the chemical plant just across the water that was a blaze a sick plume of black smoke bellowed into the sky as firefighters battled almost 24 hours against the flames. in the dark goodies with i'm not saying that the smell isn't pleasant i'm just telling you what the results of the tests are namely that the air is not harmful since then there has been growing anger over what some say is

a lack of information over what was put into not fire and the impact that could have on people's health. you can talk to any firemen but when you have any type of contact with the smoke it's dangerous it can be lethal because of the camera mounted sight and in this case when the smoke went into the sky we don't know what was in it we don't know exactly what is in the year and we worry a lot that in the future it might bring cancer or something else. i have 4 kids and they were impacted by the smell and my grades i thought about having test done before was with absolutely no information about what we should be looking for so i could take blood samples but what are you going to tell them to look for i know they could be cancer thyroid problems but the problem is that we hear lots of rumors nothing concrete. i think there is a risk for health and i can feel it because i have a need to throw it and i'm continuously coffee we worried about the how to march

children in the future will they have cancer or something we just don't know around the rule some people are also taking that proportions some locals have also experienced nor vomiting whilst others. complain that the tap water is black and then there is the stench you can smell that the air is foul it's a bit like rotting eggs but with a chemical tinge and despite the initial denials that there was no health risk the french health minister has admitted that it's clearly polluted. it is a factory that produces hydrocarbons even if not in large volumes it is never good for the population to come across these kinds of products i cannot say that there is no danger the city is clearly polluted several schools were closed off to the fire and though some have attempted to reopen many teachers are refusing to return

to work. colleagues from schools near lubrizol who have refused to work until they receive information about what was burnt and the risk because they are just a few 100 metres away from the site they did so to protect their health and that of the children who are under their responsibility and that's why there has been a demand that the original school 30 acknowledged their right not to have children attend school under this condition. while health concerns are immediate what's perhaps most telling about the danger people here are facing is the fact that food sales 100 districts around ruin have been banned any produce that may have been exposed to contamination has to be destroyed that even includes milk. hybrid carrots and worked closely with milk producers dioxins are measured in memory grams and their profit for us because they become highly concentrated in milk and the toxic so they render it unfit for consumption it is vital for us to

know. whether there are any dioxins in those earning materials what's going on he would term us what to do with our produce so that you don't love my advice even reached as far as belgium and the netherlands raising concerns that the impact could be eve. why reaching strikes have also been raised for the health of the police and the 5 ideas who run d.c. during the fire protests like this have no forms to pressure the authorities to outline any risks they make face they're demanding answers but are afraid that even if they receive and that the danger is as a result of that place may not image for months or even years from now charlotte even ski r.t. while. my love of headlines to say really innocent hand gesture has landed a theme park employee in hot water at a florida theme park an actor dressed as the code to groove from despicable me made

the ok symbol when posing with a 6 year old girl who's biracial and has autism well the ok hand gestures recently been recognized as a hate symbol is what the problem is here america's anti-defamation league says that the once innocent and of sign has been hijacked by white supremacists even as extremists continue to use symbols that maybe years or decades old they regularly create new symbols means and slogans to express their hateful sentiments we believe law enforcement and the public needs to be fully informed about the meaning of these images which can serve as a 1st a warning sign to the presence of haters in the community or school the ok symbols white power meaning was initially part of an online prank but apparently white supremacist like what they saw and started using it that way in earnest among them the suspected gunman of the cross church mosque shootings in new zealand during a court appearance last year a former white house staffer was accused of making the white power sign too but her defenders pointed that it was unlikely she did that because she's mexican american

a descendant of holocaust survivors in the ridgeway storm in a teacup or a dangerous appropriation of our everyday symbols and gestures we heard from our guests. i think it's pretty ridiculous to label a thing like global k. or the ok symbol as a symbol of white supremacy i feel like races do do certain things but i mean at a certain point they do everything or people do mean races have to eat food they have to drink water they have to breathe air so at what point do we label eating food as racist drinking water as received in breathing air is received it's just really can of started his particular point sounds a little some of these things that have been in his ear things were a very long time with or a soused hateful subversive groups the problem is that the symbol has become an actual code to say hey we are part of this group you are not and you know the main point of it is like. for well it's

a far it's far right movement supporting you know again far right ideologies that are a very well known in this country to be you know forest and but my point is you know is vast again for instance and it was an indian sacred religious symbol 50500 years b.c. and you know. people in germany it's ok to put it on a red flag and now it was a symbol it was an invert the swastika and that became the symbol of nazism and ok but the ok sign is nat day all right ok so you can find it right now on your phone via. device i phone you can find it ok so right now when you search for the new moji there is the equivalent to ok ok it is being used ok for very long and it wasn't a couple years ago where it was some kind of troll thing happening on the internet that it became so knows because the mainstream media picked it up and i think the whole purpose of trolling campaign was to trick the mainstream media into doing it

and of course now we hear that the a.b.l. is looking for here is not to label every single thing that we do say or or. or you know we communicate what they are specifically doing is trying to inform you know people that there are certain symbols that seem innocuous but that are currently being used to. actually incite violence and crime and you know fundamentalist political ideas that put this democracy in jeopardy it is not simple it is in a sea of being if people want to use it for whatever you want to use it for ok but to compare it to not see fleg is absurd ok to millions. like. versus the ok so i think i was not a hate symbol until it was. an indian use a day earlier you know whole can ensure that starkey are the source of our top

stories panned out are under civil law 7 days as reported by out international next in the week just on india on the world celebrated as mentioned just now the 150th birthday of its spiritual leader the symbol of the nation again the so have a special program for you about the man and his legacy after this break. the. problem in syria would start to. became exacerbated because probably because the united states and the russian federation both of them decided to deal with it at an arm's length. allies to take care of things through a number of opportunities therefore if they were seized and there were really serious attempts by moscow in washington to show problems and i was witness to a number of them and it could have been possible and were to shorten the war and would have saved

a lot of lives there's no don't. know why a paradise with some ground and into a round experimentation field but 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 who have 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 races going on in hawaii whether these companies feel they can get away with this because the people have less political power.

and the signs ringback the head short ahead of. me hey you're going up so i dodge a. focus back to the us media and you ask the kid donahue that is not true even though the knees. maybe. that's how i started before. me and by north korean people because they comprehend he saw the border and even said to back up the sending. i'm not killed anybody

do you feel the same that makes. you look tough and never get anything done again telling people that she would be a. lot. of political leaders didn't work a lot of cotton and i. just put some for the c.e.o. save the is a deflection board a pretty good seed. that is a god then i got up the brilliance of the world.

and he you know if you're going to going to have that warning. about that that you can't be going to. push on to the plate i'm gonna one who will potentially pinch a lot of the visual cheese. well the new function unfathomable to them getting to me. the name. on the bottom there's a famous which i like to not go. into a new person and they have to be what did i do lol gandhi. now i don't but i'm going to have i mean the best carnival dining room compete with anybody the movement the best not the competition to say to you.

maybe i just started 315 so i am able to do a hotel you can never give up on every day a little i was a teen smoking 7 fame say paid to quit and 7 times it was august 10th 2000 was the date on by the evening when coming back from office i threw the cigarette and said i wouldn't smoke from out. 100 meters of the maximum i could. do and. i was. short of breath. and slowly but i.
