it's time to fight. for the truth the time is now watching closely watching the hawks. destroy. experimental national health services on the 1st of its kind legal. drugs the children change. united nations ruling hands refugees the right to asylum threatened by environmental decision is creating fear in europe of mass immigration put the issue up for debate. it's just another way tell essentially exploiting the un but. border and you know even. i can't believe anyone. people will be on the move and we have to start talking

about how we deal with. the request of the us has been extradited from greece to france alexander his removal from hospital was illegal and threatened his health. taken by force is. ordered the doctors to release him even though she was. on the. 5 day hunger strike. being violated. here in moscow thanks for joining us and. welcome to the program. the u.k.'s national health service is facing a 1st of its kind legal battle over prescribing children as young as 9 blockers uncrossed sex hormone drugs. one claimant is 23 year old rebel who was previously

truth by the gender identity development service she regrets making irreversible changes and said no child should go through the experimental torture she did shut 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. trusts 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 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 can't ensure informed consent is obtained almost half of children treated at the clinic are prescribed hormone blockers that help people this gives 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 a claim it's a 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 as. essence what i found using some unpublished data i discovered from the tavistock clinic is that after 12 months on p.v. blockers are there were some quite pronounced negatives. it's believed the girls so girls became head that 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 test our clinics here in london see 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 transition will rise to that there is no data to affect the number for who may opt to return 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 the care quality commission but while there's no doubt that this 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 of her 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. also the only identity to a scandal to hit the u.k. this week later in the program an oxford college has backtracked on its rules to allow transgender events it removed a code of conduct after some professors called it out for closing down free speech and more on that in the 2nd half of the program. climate refugees people that move due to environmental disaster 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 un which could set a new precedent for migration the committees of debuted last national and international efforts the effects of climate change are you receiving state may

expose individuals to a violation of their rights thereby triggering dinara for my obligations of sending steitz or the ruling is based on a complaint brought by an islander from kiribati that's in the pacific ocean who said he was in danger due to rising sea levels in flood for asylum in new zealand but was rejected he also failed when he took it to the un but the case was that 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 vance and former leader of the wales green party people but authority gave us their views on the case. i think the u.n. 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 i mean 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. to 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 pepper you've missed something you've just said so many of 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 cities and therefore cities submerged or i don't know any right is suggesting that all these people. well you just said you know you answered your stealing and said you just said you said that many are for cities well beyond our water which by the way is absolutely disconnected from reality but even if i take you on the war on your actual words what you're saying is that spring 3rd world people to submerge

surveys that doesn't make a lot of sense does that every sensible country even germany is going to reject it so people like pepper can continue to dream on but what we need to do as a country is to protect our borders protect our people and look after our own simple as are. the russians suspected of crypto currency fraud using bitcoin is being interrogated by french police and hospital that's according to alexander vinick slower who says he was extradited to france from greece in secret after the supreme court in athens ruled out ruled in favor of moving him vinick who was arrested 2 years ago at washington's request his lawyer told r.t. he was unlawfully taken from hospital in greece where he was being treated after a month long hunger strike. alexander this appeared today he was taken by police forces who ordered the doctors to release him even though he was exhausted and on the 35 day hunger strike as his lawyer i assure

you that they had no right to take him because today's decision by the supreme court was not executable. i have been in contact with all competent greek authorities today and until 930 nobody knew where alexander was it was confirmed to me by my french call that alexander vinick is already in france in the hospital at this state where he has been barred from communicating with me since yesterday night his rights are being violated i'm sure he is very afraid and terrorized by this procedure because he had absolutely no information on what happened there has been a court decision which was available after 4 o'clock but this is not a decision which allows extradition however it is proven that he was moved to

france before even this decision was issued this is a non lawful procedure and against a human being who is entitle to his rights and his dignity. has been fighting against extradition to the u.s. and france the united states accused him of laundering at least $4000000000.00 worth of good cordons claiming he won a digital currency exchange which facilitated sort of a crime and drug dealing is that all of those charges saying he's a technical consultant and that he's been set up. when it has already stated that he wants to stand trial in his native russia where he's also sought for alleged fraud claiming he's willing to cooperate with russian investigators previously moscow had criticized greece's huddling of the kerry. ignoring evidence of put forward earlier this month vinick also claimed he'd faced torture in greece. they're trying to use torture and psychological pressure to break me they do not allow me to breathe fresh air the last time they let me out for a walk for

a few minutes was on new year's eve i'm a man without rights illegally imprisoned in greece for 30 months without charges they want to destroy me for my knowledge they want my head on a block just because of what i know and my technological abilities alexander an explorer again talked us through the next stages in defending our client. i am now in contact with my french coralie quiz already at the hospital where alexander has been transferred all year in paris i have already filed a letter with the judges of investigation in order not to examine him in these conditions during the night while he's exhausted and he doesn't know what's happening because i had no time to even inform him of the court decision masking therefore with my letter the judges to respect human rights law and respect procedure give postponement of his hearing and not did 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. russia became the whole topic of the continuing democrat impeachment trial against donald trump on wednesday the head of the house dems out of shift mention the apparently all important 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 are the russians through russian efforts thanks to vladimir putin

when the president said he russia if you're listening. they were listening to the russian story. while the cameras were focused on the senate floor due to a ban on filming sketch artists instead captured the atmosphere in the chamber some of the pictures showed members having trouble staying involved in the process stretching their legs doodling and even sleeping senators also face the 12 hour no phone policy while their desks we spoke to journalist and political commentator chadwick moore he says that even the strongest supporters of trump's impeachment boards with the anti russian narrative. the democrat party has 100 percent of their energy and their time into trying to remove a duly elected president from office their biggest hoax russia gate so completely flat and even their strongest support everything a lot of the president's plot 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 rush again. it's just so sad you can't help but laugh and laugh and laugh nancy pelosi 57 times at last count referred to russia or putin the impeachment proceedings i don't know are they trying to tie up the loose ends of this narrative are they just trying to connect all these threads that they everything that sort of thrown at the wall to the eggs to the expense of millions upon millions of taxpayer money everything that didn't stick waste of everyone's time. still to come red white and blue bus is green the u.s. fought its change takes on teenage activists quite a guy but you can always has to decide the winner for yourself after this short break.

the entire stock market and bond market is being taken right in with free money and the result will be medieval the near futile as it's clear as day.

america's treasury secretary stevenson has found himself involved in an online spat with the now another though the eco activist group the 3rd book that the us funded she responded to her comments about spending to offset carbon emissions dousing the 17 year old's finance credentials at the world economic forum in switzerland. here's how that argument played out is she the chief economist who is she i'm confused after she goes and studies economics in college she can come back and explain that to us it doesn't take a college degree in economics to realize that the remaining 1.5 degree carbon budget and i'm going fossil fuel subsidies vestments died up. it was the munchkin is not the 1st u.s. official to thornburg has clashed with recently back in december donald trump suggested the activists should work on her anger management problem their differences and disputes have continued with climate change dominating much of the discussion at the world economic forum with his take on this here's simon. it's that magical time of the year when our wealthy overlords gather for the w.c.

konami a glitzy gathering looms for bringing together the world's business elite yet the one percent meat for champagne and skiing in the mountains leaving the 99 percent to pray for an hour long. it cost hundreds of thousands just to go to davos for that the filthy rich demand to be entertained this year they got rock row tickets for the heavyweight championship of the world though trump is grad. school for gratitude. in a ski resort this week with an i think it's a way with their release sending a supply work. pay for full price ticket. for a slow start the worry she warms up quicker than the atmosphere. or one year

ago i came to the force and told you that our house is on fire. i said i wanted you to panic you could forget i've been warned that telling people to panic about the climate crisis is a very dangerous thing to do thank god for that because i've got to say with the way she's been talking i thought perhaps no one had told her we must forget about net 0 we need real c. of well all i need is some good news let's see what's happening in the orange corner fear and doubt is not a good thought process because this is a time for tremendous hope and joy and optimism in action. knows what he's doing and knew there was nothing to worry about carbon emissions we must reject the perennial prophets of doom and their predictions of the apocalypse don't it calm down. i mean and i he's not the life of the party but he's just

a kid it seems in the area where trump and grettir can see eye to eye today i'm pleased to announce the united states will join one trillion trees initiative being large here at the world economic forum one trillion truths oh yeah growth is going to love that one we're not telling you to offset your emissions by just paying someone else to plant trees in places like africa while at the same time forests like the amazon are being slaughtered at an infinitely higher rate ok so this is going to be a bit harder. as we all do and is that nothing can be done sitting here right now you wouldn't believe it's possible that we have found the ages you'll be hearing about it but we have found answers to things that people said would not be possible with say or i'm convinced our new.

oxford university has backed down on college rules to allow a transgender discussion of it to go ahead of the move for outrage over guests having to sign a code of conduct that prevented anti diverse identity comments of some professors that accuse the college of shutting down free speech and event on transgender issues ironically named equality convention is hosted by one of the oldest merton college shows you'll ferber it but ed schultz 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 deliberately mistry in the ring and individual also in language that undermines the village of transgender identities the college has that replaced it with a new code of conduct that states opinion and debate is encouraged. now history professor at the university of oxford senior tod suggests merton college's code of conduct was used by transgender advocates to fend off opposing views. i was stunned

because i appreciate that the university of oxford it has tried very hard to uphold free space age and that the code of the university in shrines our right to free speech and freedom of debate this event at merton college struck me as very serious because it seems 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 that 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 view these crosstalk follows the u.s. or british with a saga expo back in 30 minutes with the latest news headlines to see about that. you know world big partisan lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's taught critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now we're watching closely watching the

hawks. this is a story about what happens auster a stray bullet kills a young girl in the streets. what happens to her family and daughters in florida the mother daughter is buried in a cemetery in meaning this is with your head what happens to the community and the public was screaming for a scapegoat the police needed a scapegoat so why not choose a 19 year old black kid with a criminal record who better to pin this on than him and what happens in court be be. shot after shot as far as society we feel. we don't know chills just for the. end of this trial unfortunately you. will still not know what childress.

hello and welcome to cross talk for all things considered i'm peter lavelle many call the impeachment trial of donald trump in the u.s. senate a political show well if it is it's not very interesting in fact it's quite boring repetitive and tedious clearly this entire process is a blood fest to play for keeps but what about the institutional damage left in the wake of this low energy process.

ross talking impeachment trial i'm joined by my guess men in orlando he's a socialist activist and political commentator in greenwich we have tom perelli he is a america's voice news contributor as well as executive advisor to cloud hobe and in personal we cross the ned ryan he is founder and c.e.o. of american majority as well as author of the new book restoring our republic all right gentlemen cross-like rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate tom let me go to you 1st in greenwich here i mean one of the things watching this entire saga which is unwatchable i have to tell you and my guess and our viewers that this is the 1st major political event i refused to watch because it's unwatchable i played hooky from school to watch the watergate hearings but i can't watch this just unwatchable and one of the things that's so does really disturbing to me is that all through this we've seen the pfizer courts destroyed with the the idea of a whistle blower has been destroyed we have members of the house questioning the

legitimacy of the right of the senate to vote i mean one institution after all and by the way the media its reputation is even worse now and that's that's pretty incredible that to fathom here so let's talk about institutional degradation here because i think once this is all then done can we go back to start assembling it or are we just so divided now we can't reassemble what's been broken go ahead tom and greenwich. well peter thank you know that that's a great observation you know president trump is actually the big disrupter and he's really disrupt it or a lot of the institutions because a lot of these institutions just have one view of the world and president trump is changing that now with the impeachment this is clearly a pure political play from the democrats they know they can't be president trump in the election representative al green said the only way to really get rid of trump is to impeach him and this is exactly what they're doing and just look at those

articles of impeachment they are so weak abuse of power obstruction of congress they're absolutely weak they are not crimes and this is going to be a problem for the democrats to your point because they are boring americans that that with a crime list impeachment that's purely political you know and you know it irrespective of the side you're on the institutional damage is very real i mean this for example the whistle blower i mean up until this point of something that we listen to we took we thought it was important but the way this whistleblower has been presented to us it's all actually an invention a farce i mean it's water cooler talk and they've even changed the statutes and what it means to be a whistleblower just because of this situation this is the degradation that i'm really worried about what say you in go ahead. a look p. .
