thank you. i. i. i. i. it's one of the afternoon here in moscow in the headlines this crunch time for whistle blowers in the united states democratic senators failed to pass a blue to protect their identities as republicans push to repeal the enormous figure behind that. we'll tell you more coming up clinging hate in hospitals a health trust in england plans to root out racism by withholding treatment for
5:01 am
people who would be. a message to 0 tolerance would lead to a level of control to treat people but should treat people. without question. moved to restrict immigration with this 1st ever quote the prime minister says the country needs to take back control. this thursday the 7th of november it kevin 0 in with you for this world news update if you can stay around to that so 1st us democrats have failed to push through a bill to keep the identity of whistle blows secret republican senator rand paul blocked a proposal accusing the democrats of spreading selective about reggie said well the amendment was designed to bolster the same. it's position that whistleblower should
5:02 am
be protected from retaliation and their contribution acknowledged it comes in the heat of the trump impeachment inquiry that was sparked by anonymous testimony from an insider saskia taylor nexts lunchtime reports on the fate of those who dared to speak out in america recently. for the democrats impeachment must now seem tantalizingly close all they need is the final piece of damning evidence to seal the deal and to senate minority leader chuck schumer he has come out arguing for the protection of whistleblowers only rother of one intelligence officer who is insider info could make or break the impeachment dream the calls to make public the whistleblowers identity are despicable whistleblowers should be protected period period that's quite the radical departure from his previous comments on those exposing government abuses and each day that snowden is allowed to room 3
5:03 am
is another twist to the merits snowden is a one of the few picked up by the media he chose the path of raising his voice and going global unlike the hundreds of others who chose the path of least resistance you see they quietly lodged official complaints hoping for the system to reform but they were out of luck because as a damning report from an intelligence watchdog shows the cia and n.s.a. win 189 out of 190 cases of whistleblower complaints by had to send you the link but the report was shot down i wonder if mr schumer praised even remembers all those whistleblowers who ruled against what the name for example rich barlow bring about now living in a trailer in remote montana with his hunting dogs back in the late eighty's bhalo worked for the cia now he found himself in
5:04 am
a patriotic dye llama when he uncovered what he said amounted to the u.s. helping pakistan become a nuclear power including by selling band technology though he followed protocol he became the victim of a smear come. disgraced and discredited barely able to scrape together a living i was disgustingly patriotic and i thought the government is allowing pakistan to develop and spread nuclear weapons and i got destroyed for trying to stop it what about former u.s. marine affronts gayo he thought he'd found a way of reducing the number of u.s. troops dying in iraq as a result of improvised explosive devices all that was needed was a simple swap of patrol vehicles and given that were responsible for over 60 percent of all american losses in the country between 20032008 surely the pentagon
5:05 am
would have been interested the response was more of an. automated response he's not obeying our instructions he's he's gone off the reservation as we often say. and we've got to stop him from doing that and just as it took 7 years to restore his reputation it took just a few months to discredit peter van buren raising 24 years of loyal diplomatic service from pure and found himself on the wrong side of the table when he shouted light on state department mismanagement i'm waste in iraq. what happens when you're thrown out of the government and blacklisted that use your security clearance and it's very difficult to find a grown up job in washington you have to step down a few levels to find a place where they don't care enough about your background to even look into why you washed up there the list of nameless faceless and unrecognized whistleblowers
5:06 am
goes on and who to blame them for choosing to do to free fall their complaints because if you follow in manual snowden's footsteps sure you might end up with your name on a packet and become the face of the fight for transparency but you might also find yourself behind bars and while you're sitting in prison think about how your brothers in arms only have a how to one and 190 chance of success whistleblowing protection should actually exist in all countries because it helps the country to have people tell the truth about corrupt officials united states pretends to have allies that protect whistleblowers but they often either don't work or they are deliberately sordid and certainly the government officials do not want anyone ever telling about things they do illegally the governments are basically wanting to control
5:07 am
saying who's in control public opinion they put john kiriakou in prison for telling that for instance is that the cia was torturing so they normally absolutely do not want to protect whistleblowers and they actually hate anyone who tells the truth about their illegal activities schumer about him alongside the washington elite needs to clarify his position on whistleblowers if you are a whistleblower you need to accept that harassment prison self-imposed exile just been consigned to the forgotten pages of history are all on the cards unless of course you happen to be the. zurab breed of whistle blower who finds himself in the right place at the right time with just the right expos a. good sailor a foreigner saw him from the u.k. now this lunchtime patients who abuse staff at a hospital in western england could find themselves without medical help the north bristol health trust launched
5:08 am
a red card to racism campaign which could seek treatment refused it when it's safe to do so. hard to avoid just aggression we are seeing in the wrong but we really do need to use it to say god will stop and work with colleagues every 6 of us and i got to be able to show that they're safe so some more detail than the campaign aims to cut out a wide range of abuse the hospital staff could face day to day aside from racism the national health service will apply as 0 tolerance policy to sexism and offensive language also inappropriate behavior malicious allegations and intentional damage to property patients found to be abusive will face a sports like disciplinary system is the plan a warning or yellow card will be given 1st then the 2nd time it happens patients will be given a red card so to speak treatment will be withdrawn once a patient's condition is safe what is some of the reaction we got to learn from women bennett of stand up to racism and the national secretary of the english
5:09 am
democrats party stephen morris chipping in to. my mother was a nurse for for most of her life for the n.h.s. and nothing was done about the abuse that she see faced and there's no reason why she should have put up with the abuse of the nursing people in very serious conditions i think a message to tolerance towards it would lead to a level of self control and h.s. is there to treat people they should treat people. without question the issues of sexism racism is a massive can of worms because obviously the hospitals could be in breach of the only quality because obviously a female that he wants to be treated by a female will not be allowed to because it will be deemed a sexist or if you have certain religious views you won't be allowed because it be deemed racist or sexist in some form if you're racist you will have a problem with this because you think it's a normal discourse of normal wear behavior some framed in some ridiculous notion that you've got freedom to insult and abuse people on to lock them up is in serious
5:10 am
actually most of these people who find that one step behavior is deemed unacceptable people realize they can no longer behave like that it's not true that just clogging up the court system we say people should be prosecuted but you don't want to prosecute it because your actual word was it would only call got the court system somebody who may have a feel philosophical or religious belief about being treated by women are being treated by a certain person then they have their philosophical and religious beliefs have to be also respected and if the n.h.s. are not going to respect their views then they're going to fall foul of the courts the n.h.s. was built on immigrant a migrant labor from all over the world the actual she was the many people yes in ireland my god oh here we go you have no idea it's a bill that said on the please don't use that because it wasn't built just on that this is ridiculous if somebody says i don't want to be treated like some of these black or asian there's no reason to respect that at all being a race isn't
5:11 am
a philosophical view it's just plain wrong only those peace. believe it should be tolerated actually resists any kind of basic principles. of the way it is closer to prosecuted you're talking about people under normal circumstances these are not normal circumstances when people go into a in a. in pain they wanted us so these an absolute wide range of circumstances just to say can you come down a bit the can ask you like the situation you want to use a little coward to tell people off i say let's go and prosecuted you didn't want to do that because you said it blocked up the court systems are not against prosecute them i think it's easier it's easier for health professionals to give people a warning about their behavior and challenge it without necessarily bringing in the police and the courts i think the people the racist need to be challenge and has to be done in such a way that they can simply understand that their behavior is unacceptable what you need to do is make sure you get them treated get them out reports and then get
5:12 am
prosecuted if need be afterwards very simple if you start issuing your card records in the hospitals that's going that's going to a people more. francis said to toughen up on immigration the prime minister there says the country needs to take back control is probably its 1st ever quotas now as well restricting access to the generous health care system charlotte dubin ski reports today. mccormack was catapulted into the french presidency on a ticket of not being from the right nor the left it was a poor enabling him to attract votes from across the political spectrum and it was a successful tactic halfway through his mandate and it seems to still not show i about pinching an idea here or there from his political enemies in order to pepper the french government's policies for some there's a feeling that mcallen may be dipping too much into the pool of ideas from the right with
5:13 am
a crackdown on immigration high on his agenda take this france cannot host everyone if it wants to host people well that seems a bit familiar if not image right now where demand to mark time on migration because friendship is sinking and what about showing gain sharing. in the ruins of the dublin resolution does not work anymore if we have to suspend shagun images of the french public have been given more and more teases of policies to come policies that many feel wouldn't look out of place had been announced by marine le pen's national rally the country's prime minister has outlined 20 measures for tighter controls these include making it more difficult for migrants to claim benefits and health care under these new rules let me see claim asylum would have to wait 3 months after launching the claim before being able to access proxies universal
5:14 am
health care france is also looking to introduce for the very 1st time economic quotas setting quotas for is a u. turn from corn during his presidential campaign he had ruled out so this is a clear attempt to appeal to right wing fotis for whom migration without limit is a huge issue that comes as recent figures showed france had. received nearly 823000 asylum requests last year not only a record high but an increase of 22 percent compared to the year before my call himself has admitted his party just can't ignore the problem of immigration the bush have no problem with migrants because they don't see them but the working classes do and they have been seduced by marine le pen's and through immigration far right machinable rally may have thrown down the gauntlet in his attempts to pry
5:15 am
voters away from the national rally but le pen isn't backing down either she's warned may want to act tough his party is somewhat softer than its leader proposals to prevent abuse of the salem system viral shut down by his own party members although cons attempts to reach out to right wing voters comes ahead of the pull elections it's clear this is about something bigger much bigger in fact 2 and a half years before the next presidential election in france polls are showing that kwame's only competition will likely come in the form of le pen the indication is that the race could be a tight one and matt cohen in a bid to stay ahead is having to pull out all the punches even if that means possibly alienating many of those who put him in power in the 1st place. r.t.
5:16 am
. it's covered 60 minutes past the hour so much more to come on this channel on the way the u.s. . moved to deport american human rights he talked to r.t. direct and says it's a dangerous president coming up. in my iphone i have a 1000 times the capability of the of the computers we had on board the space for at that time i mean it's ridiculous that in my back pocket i have much much more capability then we had put in the entire apollo program. join me every thursday on the alex salmond shill and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.
5:17 am
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. theory dramatic to follow through the only. exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. hi again israel's top court upheld a government decision to deport the regional head of human rights watch the kid who's a u.s. citizen can now be removed under a law which prohibits public calls for a boycott of israel the organization was it's going to set
5:18 am
a dangerous dangerous president we spoke to the man 1st off at the center of the story. neither human rights watch nor i as its representatives have called for boycotts we do not call for a consumer boycott we do not call for a boycott of israel proper what we do do as we do throughout the world is call on businesses to respect rights and in the context of the west bank years of research has led us to determine that any company that operates in illegal settlements inherently contributes to rights abuses so we've called on companies to uphold the rights and stop those activities but we've never called for a boycott of those companies much less israel proper so reaction in the european union spoken in support of human rights watch calling on israel not to deport shakir the un too is said that israel must allow the rights defenders to carry out their work without threats or intimidation is what he called based his decision on a law introduced back in 2017 which can deny entry to any individual company if
5:19 am
they call for a boycott of the country over its actions or settlements in the west bank where human rights watch has long been critical of the israeli government the group's website claims the state's expert appropriating palestinian land by building illegal settlements in the west bank almost shakira again says the court's decision exposes the systematic oppression of rights activists. this decision is coming in the context of many other measures that have been taken against human rights defenders just the last couple of months last week we saw palestinian staff member of amnesty international issued a travel ban for unspecified security reasons clearly a punitive measure given amnesty is work we've seen a campaign of incitement against groups like. that it's really groups like that said we saw a raid on the offices of palestinian prisoner rights group of the media that just in september what's happening here is a systematic pattern but now that the court has rubber stamped and said this has
5:20 am
the veneer of legality under israeli law it really sends a chilling message and threatens to embolden the government to take further steps today it might be deportation denials tomorrow is that criminalizing the same kind of speech today it's boycotts tomorrow is that calling settlements illegal or the west bank occupied it's an incredibly dangerous precedent. american cash to boost road rail and other infrastructure appears to be getting lost on route the u.s. is planning instead to plow transport funds into asia as it competes with china even though americans but still contending with crumbling roads creaking railways notated airports all despite donald trump's election promise to sort it out. more. china's one belt one road project of building infrastructure around the world is facing a challenger and the united states is not hiding its intent we have no intention of vacating our military or geopolitical position we are here permanently and we will
5:21 am
be continuing to invest more here and we will be continuing to have more bilateral trade and i'm spending much more time in the region but wait a mere year ago donald trump promised to channel money into rebuilding america's decaying infrastructure i've asked republicans and democrats in congress to come together and deliver the biggest and boldest infrastructure plan in the last half century a plan generates an unprecedented $1.00 trillion dollar investment in american infrastructure well it sounds great but those plans have been show now the american society of engineers has graded america's infrastructure and they are pretty unimpressed when it comes to bridges c. plus with more than 200000 around the country that are over half a century old dams d. more than $15500.00 of them are listed as high hazard drinking water d.
5:22 am
with 2 trillion gallons of treated water lost every year essentially wasted and energy lines are also pretty weak take a look around new york city the richest city in the country the brooklyn queens expressway is falling apart city planners say that by 2026 big trucks will no longer be able to use it for gifted children sign about london bridge falling down it's the brooklyn bridge that's visibly breaking apart a few years ago 5 people were injured after pieces of granite fell on to the underpass of the iconic brooklyn bridge in fact that bridge is said to be structurally deficient $683.00 bridges in new york city are in disrepair and then there's the subway. system constant delays the ask elaters keep breaking down in fact only $31.00 out of $472.00 subway stations are listed as having all structural components in good repair we should be paying attention to what's going on within
5:23 am
this country 1st and foremost before we start spending out to look around new york and tell me if that's what we don't need to do absolutely look at the subway system so 100 something years old and it's still like something from the turn of the century we need to invest in our cities our country and make our country a better place to live it was worth going to as a kid so. people say u.s. infrastructure is just in a mass. yes i would because i drive a lot of it depends on where you move to new york for instance the bridge is in bad shape. i guess you should take the initiative to really fix it will start here if loosed yes public opinion seems to feel pretty strongly that we ought to focus on fixing things up here before we go around the world and try to beat china at its own game. r.t. new york. this is new in field next to form a twitter stuff we've been charged by the united states with spying for saudi
5:24 am
arabia it's claimed they were recruited to steal the personal data of users critical of the kingdom double cold as stone this one has come in the last few hours but what more do we know what's what's been a stake in the. well kevin there's 2 suspects in question one of them is a u.s. citizen and the other is a saudi citizen and they're both being charged basically of using their positions at twitter when they work there to access the personal information of thousands of people for the saudi government and against critics of the monarchy now on wednesday the justice department did file a criminal complaint against the former twitter employees let's take a look at what its side. the defendant did knowingly act in the united states as an agent of a foreign governments acted within the united states and the direction and control of the kingdom of saudi arabia and foreign officials working on behalf of the kingdom of saudi arabia without prior notification as required by law they had access to proprietary and confidential twitter information including information
5:25 am
about twitter users including the user provided e-mail addresses birthdates phone numbers and internet protocol addresses so donald is a source he sounded a headline but end of the day which damaged do with the very things being done here well more recently the american involved was arrested in seattle for allegedly tampering with 3 twitter accounts but back in 2015 was when the real damage took place over 6000 people had their information stolen by the saudi coconspirator who is now believed to be back in saudi arabia long gone now this is twitter we're talking about it's a huge international social media platform so that's a serious concern for these that these 2 people were able to get ahold of just so much information especially when twitter says that this kind of access should be restricted only to a small amount of trained personnel. we recognize the length but actors will go in try undermine our service our company limits access to sensitive account
5:26 am
information to a limited group of trains and that employee. and this is a big event it's the 1st time that in history that u.s. prosecutors have publicly accused saudi arabia of running agents within the country so we have yet to receive a response from or any reaction from the saudis i was telling you as well or i don't know what you get thank you for that thank you for being with us as well were you there you are that's the way some of the main news stories 3 look in that were crossed so far this thursday unitive through the coming hours to keep you posted and check it out he got dot com for the news as indeed may be updates on this much next for now from may donald the studio have a great day and thanks for watching our channel we are. international. imagine being a 635 and you have a career and
5:27 am
a career involves using your i phone in your computer and things like that in an office and perhaps you sort of getting xenix circular to have to stop doing all this in this kind of you lou the minutes must be frightening my world became smaller and smaller and smaller until i ended up running it in a box. or out at a very strong magnetic field on my head in my head. thinking it's like a real hard pressure my skin burned and that wireless access point there just continues on saying with our students in the schools. we are just continually bathing our citizens in this microwave radiation it is certainly electro small and it's getting worse.
5:28 am
is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. away. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallows. what politicians do. put themselves on the line. they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president.
5:29 am
this is what will. be good. interesting. i am max kaiser this is the kaiser report you know a bit coy is a truth. if you're predisposed to being crazy crazy or if you are predisposed being honest it makes you more honest and in the case of some
5:30 am
politicians in washington who are predisposed to being crazy off the wall who. more so this well of course and i just say this is a government by and for the people a lot of our officials especially in congress don't believe that the people are smart enough to know what's best for them so we have brad sherman be an imbecile again in the past week and a half and the thing that i think is quite important for this is the process of de dollar is a sham that is going on and a lot of the stuff you see the turmoil in the repo markets the turmoil in the gold markets the turmoil in certainly political and geo political realities is revolving around this dollar is ation we saw china for example in the past week and a half announce that in fact the president himself president xi announced that they're going long and block chain and in particular a bit queen.
