dulles international airport the hill reports that watson was harassed and accused by a u.s. customs and border protection agent of writing propaganda when you attempted to reenter the united states this week apparently is watson was going through customs after informing the officer of his occupation the officer held onto his passport repeatedly asked him over and over and over again so you write propaganda right this started of course a volley of well no i'm a journalist so you write propaganda write well no i'm a journalist so you write propaganda write until watson finally relented and said yes whereupon he was given back as a passport and allowed to leave the airport finally as watson told the washington post with his tone and he's looking me in the eye very much i realize this is not a joke i've honestly never had a human attempt to provoke me like this before in my life this behavior is totally normal now i guess. that my friends is a good question and one that can only be answered by watching the whole us.

wonder what. it looks like it's real that this one. has to pull out of. the day like you know i got. was that we. would. be. welcome or want to watch the hawks i am sorry roland and i'm having a lot less and then you're just saying to you what have you are going to do with border the proceeds of the dollar so you do you get arrested i think i would have gotten i don't think that would have gone as well as me vested men. yeah i don't i totally understand why at some point you would just sort of taken aback by the quest and then by the relentless passing and i've had experiences with border

patrol in the past just coming in and out of d.c. especially that there are definitely a little suspicious you know if you mention that you are in that year in journalism or a news or anything like that they definitely give you more of a once over although it's funny because while they're paying attention asking where questions about like what do you report i heard you talk about germany cut they don't notice that you have things usually about here not like you know little things in your bag or not looking for anything that doesn't eyeballing you know there's i boy it's to get in response to the. war in the mail the defense won the customs border patrol spokesperson said without giving who they were to say don't please don't name me the spokesperson said that the agency is investigating the allegation about the officers alleged inappropriate conduct at washington dulles international airport they also added that the agency holds its employees accountable does not tolerate inappropriate comments. or. you know this is an

interesting thing because it's like it's hard to tell in this case because it's the wide issue somewhere. you guys are given the. job that we're doing what we're doing at the border of the. attack ready. or is it just an individual by individual because look at the end of the day these are people with their own beliefs and. ideologies behind that counter saying give me your passport it's hard to tell if it's an individual thing or a group effort by the customs and border patrol at this point. i mean i think there's probably a lot of things at play here when it comes to because you don't know necessarily says unless it's part of something that you tell them who you work for it's just you know they give you. and they ask you if you're from this country were you born here and. all the usual did you bring fruit or meat and. this isn't the 1st time though this isn't as if it's just this one instance of. multiple

journalists have reported being harassed and even detained by u.s. customs and so over the past year you had one back in february was a bus paid reporter was pretty aggressively questioned at j.f.k. airport in new york later got an apology from officials saying that it was an appropriate so they do actually they do care about a problem in june a freelance reporter was detained by c.v.t. . austin texas airport for several hours he was going back and forth live on the border covering the issue. of migrants in august british journalist james dyer said he was harassed and told the called news by. the los angeles and our national airport it definitely is yes i think if you are if you lean a certain way right now they are probably. for. fox

news reporters i want to say i've been in the fox news reporters or away on reporters being around as a customs and border sort of defense what is so interesting because you know this is a journalist who just pretty much focuses the fence when just focuses on the u.s. military whether you are for actions by the u.s. military or against they just pretty much that's all they report on what's really interesting is the reaction to all of this and one of your favorite. capitol hill folks. house representative adam schiff chairman of the house intelligence committee he tweeted upon your learning of this story saying it's appalling that an american reporter was harassed by a federal employee 'd while reentering our country and it's happened before this must be investigated corrective action taken reporters are the enemy the people there in beijing of our democracy it would have been really nice for adam schiff to a thought those exact same things and everyone else i capitol hill who called everyone here at our t.v. propaganda and the enemy is and a danger to democracy before you shot your mouth off and signed onto

a bunch of of papers and took away press then you want to thought of that because this is the rhetoric it eventually goes this is what happened i said nothing i said nothing i put in my finger and laughed at them because well they're russia and. i hold. about the same level of morality is as well our president. blocked. in may of this year a man in melbourne australia pled guilty to 3 counts of rape and one count of sexual assault for attacks on a series of women he met on the dating app tender and the stories continue to emerge of rapes assaults even murders related to people who met on dating apps and now astray is taking steps to warn its citizens of the dangers of digital dating actually banks has a story. all syrians are being warned against using it dating on says specially a dating app called tender. now officials say they have seen an increase in sexual

assaults that linked to the act according to new south wales police one of 5 sexual assaults within popular spots in sydney happen after people connected through the dating over the last 3 years the sunday telegraph carried out investigation finding more than a dozen pieces where men and the women were either raped harassed or soft after match the line be it and want to case a woman who was trying to end a relationship with her to her date when he raped her and another case a female doctor who met a man online was stabbed 11 times and doused in gasoline after she to try to think in this scenario the doctor had no idea her date had previously been convicted of assaulting 5 different women she figured if that was the case when police make sure her dates access to apps like tinder be limited or nonexistent however new south wales police say they are not responsible for reporting dating at profiles of

persons who have been charged with a crime instead it is up to dating at the users to report verbal and physical assaults according to reports and statistics what's happening in australia is happening across the globe many dating apps users are not only at risk of contracting s.u.v.s or as 2 young guys but they're also at risk of being dull soon even worse murdered sitting up companies are now challenge with finding ways to protect their users reporting in washington actually bank artsy. triggers a responsibility of the of the app owners to keep us all safe. out here in the big scary not. more you had more experience of on line dating positive experiences and online dating than i have you know it's probably not. a tough call because on one hand i understand that like the police it's impossible for them to keep track of everybody who is using social media for dating on the

other and i also understand but on the other hand you would think that those social media because they're making so much money on the advertisements making so much money off of this and that they would put in a little bit more self care when it comes to like checking the backgrounds of signing on and like is this person a convicted sex offender who is now on the dating app maybe we don't want this person using our product you would think they would be proactive in that and trying to figure out who exactly is putting up. things i mean there's a lot and that was the thing is you can't do that without. working with the company because it's not as if you just go in and see all the listings and after checking but then again there's a certain amount of understanding but there's a kind of like if you look at the numbers this is the world of dating so 40 percent of americans. use on line dating. you've got 53 percent of people law on their online dating profile never do that one until i really i'm 648 and i do

found 43 percent of online relationships and through e-mail so starts in this world am i an attack. i mean it's interesting to look at this and this is people have kept fishing and things like the. one in line dating profiles are fake because you're skimming through 9. i mean. you combine that with the 50 percent of. it's something brand new and i get that it's new and everyone wants to use it and look how great it is you can look at the picture. but it's no different the dangers are still just as real as walking into the bar and walking in the meeting a stranger and. it's still the same amount of danger whether you see their profile or not but i feel like there's a difference is that when you're in a public place with other people around kind of gauge other people's reactions to

that person you can kind of look at that i think there's a certain safety angle just to dating and mating new people that i mean this is a online dating event now we had the internet back in the 2 in the early 2000 back in 90 and then and then over the boom is in there with the very mars and actually what's interesting is more people in their fifty's and sixty's are actually using that. i think a lot about how serious you know people are getting divorced later in life for sort of looking at finding companionship in that way where the. things like tender are looked at by so many as sort of a hook up app that it puts you in a really weird position but you have to always remember to tell people where you're going to use you know take us screenshot of the person's profile that you're going to meet send them to somebody there's lots of whatever your phone knows there's ways to tell people i'm here check in and go to a public place and just you know do a little background check reverse them and search that profile picture

a phone number a lie. or everybody else we go to break orc watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we go over to do sure go watch and watch the podcast there was a spot of music and everywhere it was the podcast coming up we delve into the recent moves to pull u.s. troops out of syria but president trouble before we go take a look at something truly once in a lifetime that was exclusive group created by mother earth and 800000000 year old 'd diamond but with a small her diamond inside it yes nature made states of. paradise with around turned into

a round the experimentation field but agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major here tens there's no question otherwise why would that the chemical company workers themselves be geared up and suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments that often in day you have many of these people 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 lives because the people have less political power. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only

closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. he put themselves on the line they did accept the reject. so when you want to be president and you. want to. have to go right to be precise this is what before 3 of them or can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters in the hollow. there should. in this community there are people who believe that it's ok. it's really hard there

are no jobs and you see that i've got kids that ask and as a parent. i can come up with lots of arguments and there's a lot of conflict within the game and between the teams most of the conflict i would say overall is around money they're most of them money is made. close one on the children's cosimo each other is good business the state of california alone makes $6000000000.00 a year of prison complexes you get some 20 alive where. you don't care and. so your care might anything. the u.s. foreign policy elite here in the united states were having kittens on sunday the white house announced that the turkey will be moving forward with a long planned operation in northern syria and that the united states armed forces

will not support or be involved in the operation and united states forces having defeated the isis territorial caliphate will no longer be in the immediate area here is r.t. america saya tablature with the full story in a very unexpected statement from the white house president trump has announced to withdraw troops in northern syria now this move by the us will essentially now allow turkey to launch an invasion in the region and give turkey rich will make turkey responsible for capturing isis fighters in the area so basically turkey is about to invade the same parts of syria the u.s. invaded to defeat the so-called islamic state except now turkey is invading to defeat the kurdish proxy force the us relied on to fight isis because turkey considers that proxy a terrorist group now here's the irony since 24 june and pentagon had relied on the kurdish fighters from the kurdish people's defense units to fight alongside

american forces in the long battle to defeat i says but the problem is that various curtis' militia groups have also been fighting on and off the turkish state for over 40 years and since turkey is an important geopolitical ally of the us and a fellow nato member on korea has never been pleased about america's prefer proxy against geodes now you see even before the rise of isis the u.s. even agreed with turkey's assessment of the kurdistan workers party which is why this. sation is still designated a terrorist entity in washington and turkey claims that the kurdistan workers party support the kurdish people's defense so now the us forces in northeast syria will move aside and cleared away for an expected turkish assault now the turkish president are they going to confirm that after speaking with president trump

earlier today. all your conversations with president troop withdrawal has started as expected by the president and at the moment interlocutors are working on the ceiling continue to worsen. now lawmakers from both sides that aisle spoke out against trump's decision and are warning that allowing the turkish attack could lead to a massacre of the kurds and senate troubling message to american allies across the globe now one of those lawmakers include senator lindsey graham who criticized the move as a disaster in the making and in a rare public break with president graham tweeted that if this plan goes forward he would introduce a senate resolution opposing it asking for a reversal on that decision now in a statement said in majority leader mitch mcconnell has also publicly rebuked trump's plan to withdraw u.s. troops from north of syria and said the move could seriously risk damaging turkey's

ties to the u.s. and cause greater isolation for turkey on the world stage but president trump has defended his dramatic policy shift citing his longstanding call to remove american forces from what he calls ridiculous and less wars abroad and in a serious of tweets even threaten ankara by saying if turkey does anything that i and in my grade and on match wisdom consider to be off limits i will totally destroy and obliterate the economy of turkey i've done before now president of the gun is planning to meet with president chomp later this month in washington side haven't gerard to. joining us today to discuss these foreign policy moves is the former senior security policy analyst in the office of the secretary of defense michael maloof thanks for joining us pleasure but i go i want to say right off. but . i believe that. yes. it's turkey. going in and bombing

in northern syria. i want to get to this what foreign 'd policy strategy do you believe was behind these moves by the white house is it what what trump said was making good on the campaign promises because he's about to start a campaign what is behind all this is a logic to it there is no logic there is no geo strategic. sense out of it i don't think there was i don't think that was built into it again he had he made another he had another phone call with their no one as he did the last time when he initially was going to pull out troops i mean that there is no strategic thinking in all this and i think what's what's happening here and now is that it's creating i think he tried to get i think he did it to try and get air to want to stay looking westward i think if he had any strategy at all keeping with the nato keep him happy giving what he wants and and the united states would you know

sacrifice a little bit in order to get more maybe because they don't want turkey to veer more toward a more eastward toward russia iran which which they're doing anyway. what what exactly is turkey and earned on through and that's i mean why are they so. hot to get into syria right now while it's a northern area it's all kurdish controlled and the kurds are regarded as the enemy of turkey turkey has declared them all to be terrorists even though even the y o y p g the the group that's in syria he quotes them as being with the p k k inside of turkey. and what in the buildup to the to this latest development what i think is happening is that the kurds said look if if you guys attack us which has now happened we're going to war so what does this portend in my view this may open up

a whole new front. activity namely the kurds inside of turkey now rebelling and creating internal strife in that country the whole idea was to create a safe zone across all across the southern the northern part of syria which borders the southern part of turkey well ironically that's also an area it's 18 miles wide. 200 miles long and it happens to incorporate areas that include some of the oil rich areas of that the kurds occupy and what the what the turks were one to do is have that area along with a portion of northern portions of iraq as part of a new deal ottoman empire if you will this is this is area once. look and so this and when there's actually been a map produced by the turkish government one time this chill that entire area under

turkey under turkey authority now they're going to move troops in there they're going to occupy and when will they leave they never will leave just like in northern iraq the iraqi government has been asking turkey for 3 years at least 2 to leave and that doing it and who is going to kick them out nobody really fast you know it's interesting too because. you're seeing trump getting attacked on both sides for the sujan from the you know real warmonger humanitarian intervention has left you know in the democratic party to even mitch mcconnell and is going to lindsey graham how is this exposing kind of the war office here in both sides because i don't want u.s. troops in syria at all and you know was this a good idea to pull us out or did we have to stay there or why it would have to slow real conservatives in the republican party tend to go along with this it's the neo cons who are totally against it those who want to maintain. some influence in

the middle east this definitely will minimize that influence as a consequence and what's interesting is that putin has been russian president putin's been rather quiet about it but he's sort of gave a blessing to the turks doing this if if they. go in occupy which will then the whole idea is to force the the kurds down through the south under assad and and create that buffer zone that everyone once. this is going to have that the sort of global oil and what it concedes is is what some of the critics are saying it's going to give a victory to russia iran turkey but iran it basically is saying to. the united states is basically saying to iran they don't care if they occupy the area that's why we had troops there in the 1st place was to. stop the prefect thing

or yeah and and turkey and iran get along well because they're all part of this this other effort now to economic effort they have a tremendous 2nd what i see happening here is that turkey is really in competition with saudi arabia. in this in this magical competition and that now i mean again there's a lot of layers on the same and this is worse than the layers of an onion. definitely keep up because it's a big important story i'm sure and like you said it's changing the face of the by the ira spy the hour like we've always a pleasure thanks so much for coming on thank you. way back in 7980 a little volcano known as the suv vs erupted destroying cities like pompei in herculaneum it was then herculaneum some 2000 years later that archaeologists and 1800 higher ear scrolls that were carbonite. just by the volcanic volcanoes

eruption because of that it's meant impossible to on the role of the scrolls and read them without destroying them well now an international team of researchers have discovered a way to digitally on ravel the scrolls using a technique that accelerates electrons to near 0 light speed creating light from infrared through the visible range and ultraviolet all the way up to x. rays so this light which by the way is 100000000000 with a b u times brighter than the sun can penetrate the scrolls and scan them on both sunlight here's a science for preserving and uncovering secrets of our past since the beginning of time. what was a 100000000000 retired only in times brighter than the sun now that's a low to me incredible that we can make something like that on this planet but being able to read the scrolls is fascinating to read what sequence will they give us you know we don't know i mean this was pompei and like is that herculaneum the

whole area around there there's a lot that we could learn we don't have a lot of information because these scrolls were carbonized like i said you couldn't get em to read them so it's kind of amazing now to see how that all pulls together so when we have 800 of these scrolls and as i slowly scan through them and everything gets analyzed oh it's so well that you're going to feel roger sitting there always we're going to study the process to best understand the future all right everybody that is our show for you today remember everyone in this world we're not told the love is up so it's all you all i love you i am the world and on top of a lot of people are watching all those hawks out there and over great things with. the way. we were.

with no make this manufacture consent to step into public wealth. when the running clubs assume protect themselves. when the final merry go round lifts only the one percent. to ignore middle of the room sick. leave. the real news for the world. but just look.

at us can last a moment to laugh and ask for the last 70 and seeing and on the rest day for the rights pro who should have been the christian. branches just shoot on disc in the. engine command. leachate mom. in our new car so said i'm not going to mustang new mama it's just that our yeah no. one else seemed wrong why don't we all just don't all. any new world

yet to shape our disdain comes out of it and indeed from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. iran joins the chorus of condemnation of turkey readies for a military offensive against kurdish forces in northeastern syria reports suggest ancora has already targeted s.t.'s positions in the region also ahead. it's revealed that c.d.a. u.k. doctors were aware of the blood donated in the us and given to british patients patients in the seventy's and eighty's that could have been afraid to put a hiv and hepatitis we hear from the son of one transfusion thanks to. the department our through the opening here.
