a foreign national to commit crime in my country many of these people they committed a single offense many years ago since then i mean all this just shows how little trust we have in our own criminal justice system. already watching this friday the 14th of february this is r.t. international money welcome to world news this hour 1st for you a 3rd whistleblower has chimed in with claims accusing the world chemical weapons watchdog of creating an atmosphere of intimidation during the o.p.c. w.'s investigation into the alleged chlorine attack in the syrian city of duma in april 28 in. the years our server the most stressful and unpleasant ones of my life i feel ashamed for the organization and i'm glad i left it. a redacted e-mail given to the investigative news website the gray zone project highlights issues of integrity touring the probe and followed revelations by 2 other watchdog employees

stressing the same issue they claim the o.p.c. w. report misrepresented its initial findings with unintended bias and simplified conclusions they also question whether the chemical was dropped from the air or placed on the ground with the eventual findings pointing the finger at the assad government but i guess the of sift through what might be fact and fiction. we like to imagine that these massive google organizations the un the i.m.f. the u.p.c. w. these juggernauts good but knives that at the end of the day what they do is good for mankind but as with many things in life you take a closer look and you're left the supported one whistleblower saying the u.p.c. w. was biased corrupt well he could be wrong just an opinion to whistleblowers saying the same thing makes you think could they be right u.b.c. w. says no ignore them specter is a and b.

not whistleblowers they are individuals who could not accept that their views were not backed by evidence as could be expected their conclusions are a religious uninformed and wrong sure sure one whistleblower could be wrong too well could be wrong but when it's 3 when it's 5 when it's a dozen whistle blows you know something's rotten. i share those behind the crimes that have been perpetrated in the name of humanity and democracy they will not hesitate to do harm to me and my family just what the hell is going on at the o.p.c. w. what could be so terrifying that its own employees are afraid for their lives and feel their employer could target them and their families it isn't just one individual it's others too whose crimes were that they would just doing their jobs i submitted a requests to the team leader i asked i repeated this request

a number of times all requests were declined or simply ignored just the guy doing his job what it said in the job description at what was a respectable organization according to testimony given at the un that's not what the u.p.c. w. the management wanted all requests were denied the responses i received included this is too big don't make yourself a martyr i deposited a dossier requesting an investigation months later i was informed that nothing would be done i requested a meeting with the director general as i thought the situation was serious enough to warrant him being made aware of it the request for a meeting was denied and i was informed by a senior manager that you will never get to the director general and if you try to go around me to get to him there will be consequences but don't you think the u.p.c. w. hasn't learned that lesson it has it isn't the lesson you and me might think of you know being more honest the lesson they learned is everyone everyone working for

them needs to learn to keep their mouths shut and additional bigotry organization wide confidentiality training program will be instituted for all personnel employed by the secretariat this training will be accompanied by annual are to stations and just in case anyone anyone gets any smart ideas in. future the bosses over the u.p.c. w. could always show them this letter and tell them this is what happens to you when you dare speak out against the u p c w i don't want to expose myself or my family to their violence on revenge i don't want to live in fear of crossing the streets and we've asked the international chemical weapons watch out for their comments on the latest allegations if they get back to us we'll let you know its reaction. pro israel groups are demanding the veteran rocker and former pink floyd front man roger waters be dropped from

a major music festival in texas branding him anti semitic over his backing of a pro palestinian organization the british musicians also seen ads for his upcoming tour dropped by major league baseball in the u.s. that too was down to pressure over water support for the boycott divestment and sanctions movement because backing the pro palestine group is illegal in many states across the u.s. where the water's told r.t. why he's not giving up. major league baseball ransom pre-sale adds before a presale tickets for my shows which is very nice have always had a very good relationship with the m o b i have done shows the yankee stadium and wrigley field and fenway park and other great great baseball stadiums all of the united states so i have a close relationship with them. and so there was never any question of us continuing to run more ads of to the priest so feared so i think

they just lend let me let it go away quietly. there is nothing and she's met a good bout b.d.'s the b.d.s. movement has consistently and constantly and and of quickly stated that it is against all forms of isms racism anti semitism anti muslim as anything any of any of that any of those race hatred or anti religious movements have anywhere b.d.'s absolutely disavows itself and it's always been extremely clear about that and so a man i have never done anything anti semitic or had an anti semitic thought in my life and i do have a support the b.d.s. movement and i. and i have campaigned for the last 15 years or so against the

policies of the israeli government and i will continue to do so until the human rights of the palestinian people are respected in the middle east or in another israel dominated rao over free speech and lawsuits being filed against the us state of georgia after a plan to talk at a university was cancelled when journalist abby martin refused to sign a pledge not to boycott israel which is obligatory under state law she claims free speech is being restricted instead of embraced. but you do have a strong case ahead of us i think that it is up to the judges themselves to overturn those laws they've done them in several cases already and that's why i'm confident that we have a very strong clear cut case that a judge will will see that this is a blatant violation 'd of our constitutional rights that it really goes to show you this isn't about free speech at all this is about controlling what kind of speech we're hearing. the most designed to counter palestinian led campaigns against israel 27 other states have what are described by some as pro israel laws similar to do order they forbid state governments from signing contracts with entities

which boycott israel by canceling a journalist speaking on campus because she refused to support a foreign government georgiou violated the 1st amendment freedom of speech guarantee. i was given this contract i was pretty shocked to get this contract i heard of these laws i knew of cases for hurricane relief workers just substitute teachers but i guess i never connected the 2 that simply being a speaker on a college campus supposedly bastion of free speech nationwide would trigger this clause and force me to sign a contract to say that i would never boycott israel of course this goes against my 1st amendment. rights this is meant to curb the mounting grassroots pressure that originates predominately on college campuses against the state of israel and i couldn't comply with this how could i comply my entire body of work criticizes the israeli government of course i wrote back and i said i cannot comply with this and

that's why i decided to take legal action with care in the p.c. j.f. because thousands of contractors are being affected by this law whether or not they know where they are forfeiting their constitutional rights in order to simply work and i think that's an abomination. 25 violent criminals have avoided deportation from the u.k. after a last minute legal challenge blocked their return to jamaica pending an appeal by the governments these are the criminals are still on british soil one of the 25 in jail for the brutal murder of a 50 year old man for troy daly is currently serving a 10 year sentence all convicted rapist for being ahead remains behind bars for raping youngsters on 3 occasions both of them were given last minute reprieves when a judge ruled that they hadn't been given access to legal advice or a phone u.k. government though says it regrets the court's came to that decision and stressed that it will act to remove serious offenders who were not british. defenses which

these people responsible for include one month slaughter one firearms offense 7 violent offenses to which are in the category of rape or sexual offenses and 14 drugs offenses we make no apology whatsoever for seeking to remove syria's foreign national offender as we go reaction from human rights law and political commentary to andre walker all whether the deported criminals should have been given sufficient access to legal support even if they pose a serious threat to society. this is not a race issue they supposedly protection issue and it's also a rights issue people talk time and time again about your rights of family life your right to live in the united kingdom you don't have a right to live in the united kingdom or less your sits in the united kingdom just like any other british nationalist as anyone else in the u.k. they committed a crime they said their punishment they were convicted sentence they served their time now after that they should be allowed to come home to their family they have british spouses british parents british children british families it is not my

responsibility to pay for a foreign national to commit crime in my country any of these people they committed a single offense many years ago since then i mean obviously for the that just shows how little trust we have in our own criminal justice system they've been in prison there's been a commission since then why have not been able to rehabilitate them why haven't we not been able to reduce the chances of reoffending that is the responsibility of the government i don't have a duty to deal with the world's worst people i don't have a duty for my taxes to be paid on these sorts of people get a grip of yourself look if you wish to come to the united kingdom in order to do a job it all to raise a family it ought to be a reasonable person i love you if you wish to come to this country it ought to sell drugs beat people up rape murder pillage abuse go how many of these people they were not given the right to make their legal claims there is no legal aid for such cases anymore people who can't afford lawyers aren't able to claim their legal

rights and that's why there was an admission in the pointer is not just why are we deporting black people the point is why every deporting criminals who have committed relatively minor offenses and relatively short criminal sentences when they have children british families here and reception are separating them from them permanently we do not have a duty to loaf and support and trust and respect people who came to this country to abuse extraordinary if that sounds brutal i don't care any. one ever can be put in a situation where. the you know in this part of the moment they act in a certain way but out there that doesn't mean that we should separate them and essentially destroy their family lives forever and that's the point in the end he look at how they and this is out of the moment in the spare the moments you commits an act of manslaughter killing somebody in the spur of the moment go back. without say on the way the b.b.c. is firing a warning shot about the growing influence of russian and chinese media as the

government considers some major changes for the national broadcaster it's next story when we come back. in the united states presidential candidates debate the future of the u.s. and the world. max kaiser and stacy herbert dig into the burning questions of this election cycle one every week. tax student debt trade wars corporate money universal basic income and more catch up with what's front running this sunday exclusively on r.t. . the liberal corporate media are fickle they fall in and out of love quickly and often not long ago they were infatuated

with being wrong now they are smitten by me or the media love to drone on about their preferences in the mean time. they're here. we know in psychology that the more people are told that they can't or shouldn't do something whether it's sexual or otherwise the more it makes them want to do so trying new things violating taboos are some of the most common and pervasive elements in our sexual fantasies. back the chairman of the b.b.c. is warning against funding cuts to britain's national broadcaster saying it would help russia and china spread influence the b.b.c. fears it could lose $200000000.00 pounds when funding enforcement rules change plus the government again threatening the broadcaster with scrapping its public funding model in favor of subscription. the b.b.c.'s mean competitors are the world funded

state backed actors of russia and china who see news as an extension of state influence and its tool for democratic disruption the government's planning to decriminalize the nonpayment of the mandatory license fee in $2.00 years' time come in and talk to journalist neil clark about the challenges facing the broadcaster and what the proposed changes might mean. this whole license thing is a piece of history and the b.b.c. these to up its game do you agree with that ism is a great institution i think the problem is. really in the last i would say 10 years or so with these political programming i think that's where a lot of discontent lies we are only talking there about people believing or thinking but not without any that it's that that there were a lot of bias for example against europe we called it now we're hearing today the a.b.c. same. a gather from the likes of china from the likes of russia are they really that important is it such a problem you know i think the funding so i don't know about the chinese or

c.c.t.v. funding but i know from reading articles or reports that in fact the b.b.c. as a whole gets more funding than r.t. gets so i think that's a bit of a red herring so to speak i think it's sad that he's felt that care of the deceased for of life to make that comment to get that to get russia because it really is and should really be about that it should really be about do we need a public sector broadcaster i think we do and how is that public sector broadcaster funded what he should be saying i think is look the b.b.c. has got a very long history. 80 odd years history of producing good programs we've done it down the years please keep the funding. was in voters in france could be said to turn their backs on president mccrum he's already facing a breakdown in his own party and plummeting support in the polls but the latest issue of head of pivotal local elections next month comes on the back of across support for a teenager who lambasted islam online correspondent shall or do bensky delve deeper . president korn has already been accused of fishing for ideas from france's

all of them to so because visionaries me sophie shevardnadze social networks have transformed the way we see communications even the most intimate forms. pushing us towards another sexual revolution well today i talked about this with social psychologist just an alum miller. justin len miller welcome to the show craig to have you with us very excited to have this chat with you so justin all over the board there is data that people are having less sex these days than 3 or 5 decades ago and i've heard that american teenagers are having less sex japanese aren't having any of the births are given a pass i mean you name it can we say with confidence that having sex is in decline . so that's a really great question this is something that a lot of people have referred to as

a sex recession if you will and when you look at the data it seems that people are reporting having less sex than they were a few generations ago but it's not completely clear what that means because in these studies people are being asked how often they're having sex but they're not defining what sex is and the reality is that people can define sex in different ways and we suspect that perhaps people are having less of the sort of traditional forms of sex less. intercourse so if you look at very strict definitions of sex people maybe having less sex by that metric however we know that people are expanding their definitions of sex and engaging in more diverse forms of sexual expression and so it may be that we have other forms of sex that are replacing some of the more traditional forms of sex and we're just not capturing that in some of the data that's out there let's take it further because the internet has made sex

accessible to all pernod graffiti can be watched anywhere pretty much and sexting with pictures is like a saying right yet resisting patients american teen pregnancy rate is going down and young people are having less sex and are having it later why doesn't acknowledge gee enabled access to sex translate into more sex. that's also a good question so technology has made it much easier for us to connect with other people in some ways it's easier to for example arrange hook ups to meet potential romantic partners through a lot of these apps and websites that are out there. however in addition to these technological changes that have happened there are also broader changes in the culture that have happened as well and so it might.
