conditions during the night while he's exhausted and he does know what's happening because i had no time to even inform him of the court decision my asking therefore with my letter the judges to respect human rights law and respect procedure give postponement of his hearing and not do not hear him in this frail condition and of course we have already made an appeal to the united nations working group against arbitrary this detention we are still waiting for them to take action it's very important that alexander be protected and we will exhaust and the legal procedure and anything that we can do to protect this individual because when alexander's rights are violated everybody's rights are violated. the u.k.'s national health service has found itself in the hard court to allow more case aimed at preventing children as young as noid being prescribed so-called experimental puberty blockers

and cross sex hormone drugs while claiming to 23 year old q rebel who was previously treated by the gender identity development service regrets making meter versatile changes and said no child should go through what she did it was dusty has the story. 23 year old care about went through gender reassignment as a teenager but years later she decided to reverse the transition while she lived to regret her treatment she also stopped the clinic putting others through what she did she's leading a landmark case against the tavistock and portman n.h.s. trust the u.k.'s only gender identity service that deals with patients under 18 years old often without parental consent care of herself as a teenager and says youngsters aren't given proper information on the process and the drugs to take them through the transition i do not believe the children and young people can consent to the use of powerful and experimental hormone drugs like i did i believe that the current affirmative system put in place by the tavistock

is inadequate as it doesn't allow for exploration of the gender dysphoria feelings nor does it seeks to find the underlying cause of this condition i carry joins a mother of a 15 year old autistic girl who is out on the waiting list for the treatment at the service much of the concern of her mother i have deep concerns that the current clinical approach a gender identity development service means that my daughter will be subjected to an experimental treatment path that is not adequately regulated when no one understands the risks and therefore canada ensure informed consent is obtained almost half of children treated at the clinic are prescribed hormone blockers that help people in this case children the time to consider whether they truly want to make a transition to the opposite sex but the drug interferes with natural hormone production it's this step that this legal battle is all about and came into calling for an urgent reassessment of the procedure what is challenged is the current and continuing practice of the defendant to prescribe puberty suppressing hormone blockers and then subsequently crossed sex hormones to children under the age of 18

and it's not just former patients and relatives that are worried medical professionals have also voiced concerns even accusing the specialist clinic for charles gentle children of suppressing negative results while undertaking experimental treatment on adolescent. what i found using some unpublished data as i discovered from the tavistock clinic is that after 12 months on p.v. blockers are there were some quite pronounced negative effects particularly the girls so girls became had their gender dysphoria increase and some of their psychological problems increased and indeed there is even less slightly increased but statistically significant increase in their thoughts about suicide so these are all quite negative findings but these are not being published by the tavistock clinics here in london say 3000 percent more patients than they did 10 years ago among girls it's up more than 5000 percent with referrals that's

a record high it suggests cases of the transitional rise to that there is no data to reflect the number for him a up to a time to their biological sex we reached out to the tavistock and portman n.h.s. trust for comment our clinical interventions are laid out a nationally set service specifications and h s england money says our service very closely the series has a high level of reporting satisfaction and was rated good by they can quality commission but while there's no doubt that the service helps young people who feel the stress in their own bodies the full impact of making decisions about their gender at such a young age just may not truly be clear to much later in their lives i think what the government is giving or that the n.h.s. is giving children a false sense of security they really should be open and honest and say look we've got no idea this is an experimental treatment we've got no idea if it's safe we've got no idea they're subjective so essentially you're just taking a loss. but instead there's

a lot of false information about it being reversible about. it being you know sort of safe and i think you know we should just admit how ignorance and we need to do much more search on our the actual high quality research on the effects of people at this. lots not the only identity scandal to hit the u.k. this week in the program an oxford college has backtracked on its rules to our transgender events removed a code of conduct after some professors called it out for closing bell and free speech got more of that coming up in the 2nd half of the program. the whistleblower who exposed extensive u.s. surveillance programs around the globe edward snowden has given an interview to the for president of ecuador rafael career the u.s. is seeking to charge snowden with espionage and theft of government property for government contractors said he would leak the information again and that he'd been would be willing to face trial if he could tell the truth and he needs in the

beginning many media outlets were supportive of asuncion yourself nowadays we can see that the mainstream media has changed its tune we should be defending access to information the freedom of the press not just for americans and for everyone else why are they now against you both while the government in the united states currently has not tried to put journalists in prison on a massive scale they have in a few exceptions circumstance and. they have thought well. how can we get the media to support our narrative how can we get them to support our perspectives and i think this is what people miss against the distinction between the more reality and the legality of the thing sometimes the only moral decision that individual happens is to break the law and the question is not what is this disclosure of legal or illegal the question was and the question is is the

information that they provide and true or false is the information they provided useful society to society harmful to society the question is would you rather not the whole what's really going on there already i mean how do you feel about the fact that back home you can be tried under a law that could land you the death penalty this is why i said there is no fair trial that's provided on the espionage act and despite the craziness of this law i have argued to the united states government i have said i will return and volunteer myself for trial on a single condition which is that i get to tell the jury why i did what i did and the government has refused instead they send me back a letter signed by the attorney general that says well we promise not to torture you when we see the failures in the system it is incumbent on us to do something about even in small small ways you know people make this big question for me because of course i have somebody critics i have so many supporters who are hero or

traitor or hero or traitor which one are you and i say i'm neither i'm a citizen there are no heroes i'm just an ordinary person who did something unusual or do i think you're a hero if you did something really brave but no no this isn't here we have on we will you and i think this is better when we say things like you know i'm not a hero. i'm saying that in the context of there are no heroes there are only horowitz choices in many sattar just a fish i'd like to ask you would you do it all over again i would definitely do it again. i have to say it's unexpected because i have paid a real price i can't return home when i'm in a country that's not one not of my choosing. but i'm actually. more satisfied and more connected in the work that i do today the work that i did before the thing that i am most proud of. and the thing that gives me

the. confidence to say that i would do it again. is that when somebody asked me what are you can do about it i have my answer. and this is the thing that i think all young people need to hear when we living in a truly historic time where everything is changing. when someone or she wouldn't about of the answer is everything that i can. plot refugees or people that move due to environmental disasters can no longer be sent home to their country of origin if they're seeking asylum and their lives are in danger that's according to a new landmark ruling by the e.u. way in which could set a new precedent for migration the committees of debuted last national and international efforts the effects of climate change are receiving state may expose individuals to a violation of their rights thereby triggering dinara for my obligations of sending

states ruling is based on a complaint brought by islander from kiribati in the pacific ocean who said he was in danger due to rising sea levels applied for asylum in new zealand but was rejected he also failed when he took it to the un the case though has now set the way for others to apply germany's interior ministry has spoken out against the united nations decision. most studies suggest that environmental change is a trigger but not the sole cause of migration decisions. political commentator david violence and former leader of the wales green party pooper bhatti gave us their views on the case i think the un ruling is a good one we're going to see millions and millions of people maybe 300000000 people. fleeing climate change where the through starvation or drought storm flood to certification and we have to be ready for it we have to start

talking about this we actually must start preparing ourselves for this it's just another way till essential exploit the u.n. support but to advance open borders and you know even at the most obvious level i can't believe anyone swallows the gulf that actually contradicts much of what the u.n. talks about in the u.n. constantly whines avoid the desperate need to reduce our carbon footprint well hey if you bring hundreds of millions of climate refugees from low carbon societies to our advanced higher carbon societies you're going to increase the carbon footprint so the un really need to start to get it right this is not restricted to the developing broke world we have most of our cities i think there are something like 32 of the world's greatest cities largest cities are likely to be under water london new york delhi there are just so many of them. it doesn't make any

sense to just to look at this in any way other than the fact that people will be on the move and we have to start talking about how we deal with this and the un has opened this conversation. but pepa you've missed something you've just said so many of 4 leading cities are going to be under water so you see all these people coming from the less developed world i mean we can surely import them and submerge their face on it for city submerged or i think we can you write is suggesting that all these people. what you just said you have even suggested and said you just said you said that many offer cities will be underwater which by the way is absolutely disconnected from reality but even if i take you on the on your actual words what you're saying is that spring 3rd world people to submerge to face opposition make a lot of sense doesn't every sensible country even germany is going to reject it so

people like peppa can continue to dream on but what we need to do as a country and to protect our borders protect our people and look after our own simple as i. thought i had to sow and you clear scientists put the world on apocalypse saying we've just got 100 seconds to live on it was the dues that clock is ticking away after this break. most people think just stand out in this business you need to be the 1st one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice or the biggest raid in truth to stand this is just the dance the right questions to the right answer.

question. when else should seem wrong. just don't call. me. yet to see. this day come to. engage me equals betrayal. when something you find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground . welcome back to the program and you clearly watch the group was announced with just 100 seconds to live while the reference of the symbolic doomsday clock is talking metaphorical time the warning made of the media event in washington comes off the

increased pressure from the united states sanctions against the run of the breakdown of the 2050 nuclear deal the recent escalation in the middle east of course which saw the u.s. assassinate a top iranian general it's easier for trying to use the time keeper for this one. so the news is there's another apocalypse alert but the doomsday clock is being set at 100 seconds to midnight we are now expressing how close the world is to catastrophe in seconds or even minutes it's the closest to doomsday you have ever been in the history of the doomsday clock so how do the people who reset the hands explain why it is pushing us to armageddon while they're saying it could be just around the corner because of the following lack of quantum action rise of cyber enabled disinformation campaigns oh right that's the new black and the threat radar fashion industry and most importantly the nuclear threat indeed what did the new

year bring along. tag iran has tag world 'd war 3. let's hear from someone else who was there to crank up the panic meter a former un secretary general from the u.s. withdrawal from the paris agreement and the iran nuclear deal to deadlock nuclear disarmament talks and division at the u.n. security council on mechanisms for collaboration being undermined when we need the most so for those of you scratching your heads about who's causing the mess that was an iranian diplomat putting the blame on trump for ripping up the nuclear agreement it was bonking moon but probably everyone should have wondered want to go could take care of wes in d.c.

europe tried to butt in but it didn't work because iran is evil anyway some well known faces couldn't help reminding us about it even the holocaust commemorations the world must stand strong against the islamic republic of iran. israel salutes president trump and vice president pence for confronting the tyrants of to iran that subjugate their own people i call on all governments to join the vital effort of confronting iran so if bombing the hell out of one top iranian commander this month wasn't enough watch out for more if general as male gani follows a similar path of killing americans he will meet the same fate it's not like the folks and to ron would keep after hearing that these words are an official announcement on a clear unveiling of america's targeted and governmental terrorism whether you can

actually hear the doomsday clock ticking for the. the whole of mankind or not what things for sure the western ram relationship is deaf or 100 seconds from apocalypse . russia became a hot topic of continuing democrat impeachment trial against donald trump on wednesday at of the house dems adam schiff mentioned at the apparently all of port word in his opening speech dozens of times russian intelligence services russian expansionism russian forces and their proxies russia kremlin russia's president vladimir putin the russian military agency. we can fight russia over there in the russians through russian efforts thanks to vladimir putin when the president said he russia if you're listening they were listening that's the russian story. and while the cameras were focused on the senate floor due to a ban of filming sketch artists instead of capture the atmosphere and chamber some

of the pictures showed members having trouble staying involved in the process stretching their legs doodling even sleeping senators also face the 12 hour no phone policy while sat at their desks we spoke to journalist and political commentator child at moore who says that even the strongest supporters of trump's impeachment are bored with the anti russian narrative. the democrats already has 100 percent of their energy and their time into trying to remove a duly elected president from office their biggest hoax russia so completely flat and even their strongest where everything they've learned the president is even their strongest supporters the people who most want to believe that the president will be removed from office which he absolutely will not. even they've grown bored with this narrative and when they start reading up russia again. it's just so sad you can't help but laugh and laugh and laugh and see the 7 times at last count

referred to russia or putin is the proceedings i don't know that shrine to tie up loose ends of this narrative are they just trying to connect all of these threads that they everything that sort of thrown at the wall to the exist to the expense of millions upon millions of taxpayer money every day that didn't stick to waste everyone's time. oxy diversity's backed out on college rules to allow a transgender discussion event to go ahead the move followed outrage over guests having to sign a code of conduct that prevented the diverse identity comments of some professes had accused the college of shutting down free speech and event on transgender issues i want to be named equality conventions hosted by one of the oldest merton college shows you hold for february but actual participants had to agree to the terms before signing up for the perspectives on trans intersectionality event among the original rules was a ban on the liberty miss gendering an individual as well as language that undermines the validity of transgender identities a college has now replaced

a revote code with a statement that opinion and debate is encouraged history professor at the university of oxford salina todd says the code of conduct in the right to free speech. i was stunned because i appreciate that the university of oxford has tried very hard to uphold free speech and that the code of the university in shrines our right to free speech and to freedom of debate this event at merton college struck me as very serious because it seemed to be implying that for the 1st time an academic institution was going to take the same line as student activists i.e. that feminists and debate by feminists was unwelcome what i suspect has happened is that the speakers in that event insisted that that was

a condition of them appearing in their big because trans activists refused to debate face to face with their critics they refused to debate with feminists and so it's not unusual for them to insist that at events like this they are not confronted with any opposing or challenging views. that's world news for the salad just when it's white out exclusive interview with the president of the philippines here at all times the national where was that a taser reveals why he will stop the u.s. invitation to attend a major 2020 summit. the entire stock market and bond market is being taken private with free money and the result will be medieval as
