it's 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. than the headlines of the week there was in the us democrats demand protection for the whistleblower at the heart of the trunk inquiry it dramatic departure from the way other key informants have been treated there. are 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 a defaced in some regions celebrations bus to. the ok hon gestures apparently not so it's now branded a hate symbol and got one thing work at the sec in the us it's also fired up debate here and. you can find it ok so. you search for the.

ok the problem is that the symbol has become an actual code to say hey we are part of this group you are not. watching out international the weekend and our news of you with the top stories of the last 7 days we brought you my name is kevin now and i'm glad to have you along and i hope you can stay too for 30 minutes we're starting with this in the u.s. where the impeachment inquiry into president trump rumbles on and now a 2nd whistle blow is reportedly considering filing a complaint over the president's dealings with ukraine and that intelligence official is said to have more direct information than the person who 1st raised the alarm meantime democrats spearheading the probe demanding the protections for the informants involved that's a far cry than from the other whistle blows in recent years caleb maupin was on it . 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 from 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 details but let's go over some recent whistleblowers in u.s. history. i never tortured anybody. but i'm not 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 face justice i've never gained anything through what i've said publicly that i've lost everything.

we got special ops forces the dead man can leak stuff this guy is a traitor a treasonous illegally shoot the son of a. 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 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. footnote to this story one of the people just mentioned in caleb's report there snowden reacted on to his saying it's unbelievable that the media isn't pressing politicians about the case of another whistleblower say analyst daniel hale who's being prosecuted for lifting the lid on u.s. drone warfare programs at a time when democrats are making statements about supporting informants we'll keep you posted. began a verse of the current of this last week in the around the world celebrated the 150th birthday of its spiritual leader and the symbol of the nation again the on wednesday a major political party has paid tribute to gandy they even ordered officials to undertake program which is walking at 15 kilometers a day in their constituencies and sleeping in villages these legacy is recognised globally and his birthday the 2nd of october is celebrated worldwide is

international day of nonviolence indian prime minister modi sang his praises at the un. gandhi ji mahatma gandhi was an indian but he did not solely belong to india he stayed far away from the government today in the hearts of billions of people his influence the lives of people who never met him from martin luther king jr to know some mandela. back then spearheading the indian independence movement began these often referred to as the 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 and he was assassinated by hindu nationalists but to this day not everyone seems to be in the words of the peace and tolerance icon gandhi's poster in one northeastern city was defaced in the week with graffiti saying the traitor of the nation are also claims that in with some of his ashes it was stolen the

editor of news magazine india today blames the act of the descendants of the same hindu extremists who killed kennedy. do remember that not too dumb. and some of his associates shot. gandhi my gandhi in the you are 1948 the members of this not too damn good sick group who also claim to be hindus they have a very narrow notion of in the wisdom they want to impose some very sort of. notions of hindu ism deep believe that gandhi 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 totally marginalized 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 bill that held responsible for some amount of violence so but i don't think it's a very large group but only had this very tolerant and you know very sort of broaden and progress a notion of nationalism which i think majority indians understand and that's why such extremist groups can never become the mainstream group in the country. well to commemorate the anniversary going in no we probably life of mahatma gandhi in a feature length report showing on this channel throughout the day one the 1st part of it was on last another one coming in 20 minutes or so if you want to see more of it you can watch anytime you like on our site. eco good night but

it didn't go on cruel but indeed nick doc did late but if he i guess. if you like. the late evening love. you fought against the british people to get in eventually but did inflate mileage me too little you can't do that in my nation. if they did leave here. the next monday could be a film that makes gandhi could be a bad the next god we could be a 12 year old child it could be any of these people but we need the big sky which is pretty cool because the are we wired because she. and when the christian doctor in the u.k.

lost his legal fight against his former employer who sent him for refusing to use female pronouns for a transgender woman in an interview with r.t. to david my critics played why he refused to back down in the dispute. as i'm a christian i would consider it be up to dishonest use pronouns in that way and simple deeply affected my christian both of my walk with god and certainly as a doctor it's quite simply unscientific and unproven and therefore a good in good conscience i can't do that i would never 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 against my conscience i'm certain out of only with it and desire i don't know what it but i desire not to be forced to do something that i cannot do dr david microflora 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 a 6 foot tall bearded man as madam while the doctor insists his beliefs have been discriminated on the less an employment tribunal ruled that his objection was incompatible with human dignity. and lack of belief in transgenderism and conscientious objection to transgenderism in our judgment 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 is what a faith also does not satisfy the requirements of being worthy of respect in a democratic society dr says the ruling against him says a dangerous president. i was not the shop floor and i was i say arrogated or the joke is that i. about her believe in my manager are people who pull off the shop floor of the national health service known and very good about their beliefs this is really really the precedence of the case and that's that's why we're really

quite shocked at the porpoises very quickly the 1st one is that you're not allowed not believe the transgender movements maxim's the 2nd one is comparable speech the president is the belief that god made us male and female and that for sex and pronouns of this is not allowable for there's a core christian believes all christianity is not compatible with modern society or human dignity is a very big presence each one of those huge is a huge blow to. something different than violence sadness and fantasy just some of the things you might expect to see when you visit an art gallery but the u.k. take to britain museum has deemed a warning necessary for a new exhibition of 19th century drawings by william blake we take a look. never

ever ever we need to see the visions of people's minds not how we'd like the world to be the loser they think might be offended in this very very easily offend the world we live in you know we're not interested in going to gallery of everything's . going to william buy here expects music. i think you've got to actions of religious. something. and i suppose i would have issues if there is a lot of sexual violence against women or anything like that being when in fact i don't think it will be.

the bad press. considered by you to be an appropriate we have noticed a facebook consistently rejects works of peter paul rubens. on. a 50 moscow time from hot to real life after the break a toxic scare after a massive fire at the french chemical factory locals say they're really worried authorities say nothing to worry about they don't agree on the back.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sport i'm showbusiness i'll see if that. problem in syria would start to. become exacerbated because probably because the united states and the russian federation both of them decided to deal with it at an arm's length. the regional allies to take care of things there are a number of opportunities there were if they were seized and there were really serious attempts by moscow and washington to solve the problem and i was witness to a number of them and it could have been possible and would have shorten the war and would have saved a lot of lives there's no doubt. again

this is out international next a major major worries for locals about what was in the smoke that went up in the a jury said another less authorities in the french city of rule have declared the area safe for 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. for the best 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 affected by the pollution that occurred or that all further away. and that

a further returns come fears the french government even set up an emergency helpline but locals are still deeply concerned for their health and dispute claims by authorities that there is safe to breathe charlotte do bensky went there. the chemical plant just across the water that was a blaze afic 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 didn'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 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're 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 top it's 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 the rule is 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 work closely with milk produces dioxins are measured in many grams and there are a problem 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 as soon as possible whether there are any dioxins in those burning materials what's going on who

terminus what to do with our produce so much on the fly ash has even reached as far as belgium and the netherlands raising concerns that the impact could be even the way to reaching flags have also been raised for the health of the police and the firefighters who are on duty during the fire protests like this have now formed to pressure the authorities to outline any risks they make face they demanding answers but are afraid that even if they recede. even though the danger is as a result of that place may not image for months or even years from now charlotte even ski. while. the super bowl coverage of the week is similarly innocent hand gestures learned of a theme park employee in hot water at a florida theme park an actor dressed as a character group from despicable me made an upside down ok symbol when posing with

a 6 year old girl who's biracial and has autism the ok hand gesture as recently be recognized as a hate symbol is what the problem is america's and the defamation league says that the once innocent enough sign is 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 above 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 that apparently white supremacist like what they saw and started using it in earnest among them the suspected gunman in the christ church mosque shootings in new zealand during a court appearance last year to a former white house staffer was accused of making the white power side but her defenders pointed out that that was unlikely they said because she's mexican

american and also a descendant of holocaust survivors either which way is this is storm in a teacup or the dangerous appropriation of our everyday symbols and gestures so i guess the. 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 new 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. for well it's

a far it's far right movement supporting you know again far right ideologies that are 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 for hundreds 500 years b.c. and you know. people in germany it's ok to put it on a red flag and now it was there 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 it wasn't a couple years ago where it was some kind of troll thing happening on the internet there it became so on those 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 fundamentalists political ideas that put this democracy in jeopardy it is not. it is in a seething if people want to use it for whatever you want to use it for ok but you . see flake is absurd ok millions. versus the ok so i think i was not a hate symbol until it was. an old creature or that stock conversation continued i can tell you that's the way some of

the world news the top stories as reported by us are teams national most of the last 7 days thanks for watching this program as mentioned earlier on as well in the week just gone india in the world celebrated the 150th birthday of its spiritual leader of the symbol of the nation mahatma gandhi coming up this weekend we've got the next part of a special program we've put together for you now about the man and his legacy it's after this break. so we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this spirit dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

with manufacture consensus and stick to public wells. when the ruling classes project. themselves. when the final merry go round lifts only the one percent. of the time we can all middle of the room 6. 1000000 more you. know 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 the chemical company workers themselves be geared up that suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments that 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 research going on in hawaii whether these companies feel they can get away with votes because the people have less political power. pay you money. to n.i. on the. beach amid that idea head that ahd a key the halley's a but audit not good enough to be.
