3rd whistleblower casts further doubt on the chemical weapons watchdog investigation into the alleged chemical attack in syria claiming he faced intimidation. groups call for a boycott of veteran british rocker roger waters who's defended his stuff for supporting pro palestinian boy called. the. b.d.s. movement. is an invention of people like brits and it's the ministry of strategic. pending appeal 25 violent criminals are set to remain in the u.k. for now after their deportations to jamaica were blocked we weigh up whether 17 of those who were deported got sufficient access to lawyers. it is not my

responsibility to pay for a foreign national to commit crime in my country many of these people who commit the offense many years ago since then i mean obviously if we just shows how little trust we have in our own criminal justice system. this friday the 14th everyone is calling bright welcome to world news from r.t. international 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 28th. 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 redacted the email was given to investigative news website the greater project allotting issues of integrity during the probe it followed revelations by 2 other watchdog employees stressing the same issue they also question the findings of the final o p c w. reports that pinned the blame on the outside government records

d 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 a 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 are 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 spector's a and b. not whistleblowers they were individuals who could not accept that their views were not backed by evidence as could be expected their conclusions are rona's 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 fear 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 idea. as in the 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 on or want to expose myself or my family to their violence on revenge i don't want to live in fear of crossing the streets. last week the o.p.c. w. went public in doubting the credibility of the 1st 2 whistleblowers and we've asked the international chemical weapons watchdog for comment on the latest allegations or let you know its response if we get one. from israel groups of demanding that veteran rocker and former pink floyd star 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 musician have also seen ads for his

upcoming toward 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. what are waters told r.t. why he's not giving up. major league baseball ransom pre-sale adds before a presale of tickets for my shows which is very nice have always had a very good relationship with the m o b i've done shows a yankee stadium and wrigley field i'm fenway park another great great baseball stadiums all over the united states so i have a close relationship with them. and so there was never any question of us continuing to run more observed to the priests over a period so i think they just lend leddy 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 and she semitism anti muslim as anything any of any of that any of those race hatred or and religious movements of any b.d.s. absolutely disavows itself and it's always been extremely clear about that. and so . i've never done anything and just minutes ago had an anti semitic. and i do have most of the b.d.s. movement. and i have come for the last 15 years since you know against the policies of the israeli government and i will continue to do so until the human rights of the palestinian people respect you didn't at least in another israel

dominated rao of a free speech and lawsuits being filed against the us state of georgia after a planned talk at a university was counseled when journalist abby martin refused to sign a pledge not to boycott israel which is obligatory on the state level that she claims free speech is being restricted instead of embraced. 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 speech pathologist substitute teachers but i guess i never connected the 2 that simply being a speaker at a college campus supposedly these 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. the laws designed to counter palestinian led campaigns against israel 27 other states have would have described by some as pro israel goals similar to ga 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 we do have a strong case ahead of us i think it is up to the judges themselves to overturn these laws they've done in several cases already and that's why i'm confident that we have a very strong clear cut case that it judge of all will see that this is a blatant violation of our constitutional rights that really goes to show you this

isn't about free speech at all this is about controlling what kind of speech we're hearing. from the british government's concern that an appeals case could see a killer and a rapist released on bail within days there among 25 violent criminals who avoided deportation from the u.k. this week after a last minute legal challenge blocked their return to jamaica pending an appeal by the government these are the criminals still on british soil one of the 25 years in jail for the murder of a 50 year old man for troy daly is currently serving a 10 year sentence while convicted rapist for being a henry years behind bars for raping youngsters on 3 occasions both of them were given last minute reprieves when a judge ruled that they had not been given access to legal advice or a phone u.k. government though says it regrets the court came to that decision and stresses that it will act to remove serious offenders who are not british. the offenses which these people responsible for include one month slaughter one firearms offense 7

violent offenses 2 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 offenders we've got reaction from human rights lawyer shoaib carne and political commentator andrea walker on 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 a 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 national just as anyone else in the u.k. they committed a crime they said their punishment they were convicted sentence they serve 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 if we had 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 we not been able to rehabilitate them why haven't we not been able to reduce the chances of a real finding 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 also 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 additional thing the point here 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 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 a strawberry if that sounds brutal i don't care anyone. ever can be put in a situation where. you know i think 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 destroyed their family nights whatever and that's the point in the end that he look at how they and this is out of the moment in the spare the moments you commits not to manslaughter out killing somebody in the spot of the moment go back . this is a serial the way the b.b.c.'s warning shot to downing street to threaten funding changes will prevent britain from challenging the growing influence of russian and

chinese media it's our next story when we come back.

the liberal media are fickle they fall in and out of love quickly and often not long ago they were infatuated with being too old now they are smitten by me or the media love to drone on about their preferences in the mean time the voters make their candidates. a lot again the chairman of the b.b.c.'s warning against funding cuts to britain's national broadcaster saying about how russia and china to spread influence the b.b.c. face it could lose 200000000 pounds when funding enforcement rules change soon plus the government again threatening the broadcaster with scrapping its public funded model in favor of subscription the b.b.c.'s mean competitors are the well funded state backed actors of russia and china who see news as an extension of state influence and its will for democratic disruption. the government's planning to

decriminalize nonpayment of the mandatory license fee 2 years from now kevin talked 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 has been really in the last i would say 10 years or so it's been with its political programming i think that that's where a lot of discontent lies now we're hearing today b.b.c. saying propaganda 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 these sort of likes 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. so the voters in france could be said to turn their backs on president of chrome he's already facing a breakdown in his own party implementing support in the polls the latest issue head of pivotal local elections next month comes on the back of mccrum support for a teenager who lambasted islam online reporting from paris his charlotte events. president korn has already been accused of fishing for ideas from france's a right wing parties there was the crackdown on illegal immigration france cannot host everyone if it wants to host people well they would tax changes that is observatory over economic conditions says a benefit to the wealthy and left the poor well 'd poor he also made it easier for

employers to hire that workers but the same time making it harder for those who are unemployed to claim benefits now it seems ahead of him collections one which poll suggests his party is going to do badly in not going is once again throwing out some new bait this time defending a teenager who attacked. just put those comments into context make a move to a muslim commentator on her post at the turf of being a lesbian in france the incident became a national scandal on one side there were those who decry the 16 year old as being over a cyst on the others those who championed her for her right of the freedom of speech

in our country of liberty opportunity to apologize it's up to those who threaten her with death harassed her insult her to be brought to justice the right to criticize not the right to insult letters support me like a 16 year old boys who shoot in insulted infested with death by thousands of fanatics for having given her opinion on islam now president matt corn has waded into the debate defending her the law is clear we have the right to blast free to criticize and to caricature religions what is forbidden is incitement to hatred and . tax on human dignity the teenager who received a rape and death threats following up to give has since had to move schools but even thing given protection from the state that whole affair has opened up a can of worms in france yet again opus free speech and the right to blast being after all it's not the 1st time since he was elected. to muslims in 2900 the

community to step up the fight against separatism in the toric that was seen as being tough on islamic radicalization it is a fact that a form of separatism has taken root in some places in our republic in other words the desire not to live together and not to be in the republic it is in the name of a religion namely islam now he also took aim at albania and north lesson 10 years chances to join the e.u. many find that difficult to understand and have suggested the real reason is the large and politically active muslim communities in both countries all of this may not play out well for mcewan truly the votes on the right may cost him vital votes on the left and it leaves his party lacking any punch in next month's elections. r.t. paris french civil rights activists yes or no r.t. told us president mccrum would have lost the muslim vote regardless of this latest

round muslims do not necessarily support him but he would block or they can support mark or they can support people from various authorities and muslims are not there i would genius the group in france whether with or without muslim boards emerging with mark or has been this decried from the day we should remember the conditions in which he was elected that the majority of french people did not go to the majority even less people who work towards doing a part of it there were elections and we see now today the french republic is in grave danger and i think the cannot. is part of the institutions it. is sure there is it it will be a count of order and this is this is where the ideological blindness or well you would call were either cause here is the reelection good this or or this the beauty of the biblio he urged through the course is the. pictures from the iranian capital

where hundreds have been paying their respects to the slain general or the nanny it's been 40 days since he was killed on foreign soil by a u.s. airstrike tensions have since spiraled further between the 2 nations with retaliatory action taken from both sides. in china a 5 g. robot doctor is doing the rounds to curb the spread of the corona virus it can measure body temperature at a distance of 5 meters and recognize whether a person is wearing a face mask or it's aimed at preventing people coming into contact with others who may be contagious during the incubation period the virus is so far known to have claimed 1300 lives and infected a further 60000 worldwide. and the icing on the lake this is time lapse video of the world's deepest freshwater lake baikal their brushes western siberia as the surface covered with ice and snow in the final flurry of winter the ice on by cal can reach a thick mess of about one and a half meters solid enough apparently to drive cars on it in places. because that's

and welcome to cross top where all things considered i'm peter lavelle a liberal corporate media are fickle they fall in and out of love quickly and often not long ago they were infatuated with pedro rourke now they were smitten by mayor pete the media love to drone on about their preferences in the mean time the voters pick their candidates. across talking manufactured consent i'm joined by my guess i've been in washington

he's a libertarian candidate for president as well as author of the book pull out men modern life and mutiny in manchester we cross to david john pestle he's running for president and in fort lauderdale we cross to christopher metzler he is a legal scholar or a gentleman cross-talk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate arvind let me go to you 1st in washington you know we i'm i'm calling this program wall street pete but you know it's about manufactured consent and as i said in my introduction and i'm particularly looking at how the liberals are focusing on this campaign. it's really the flavor of the moment that swims a coal he's got a nice smile you know and he's like chicken soup you know i mean and i'm not just talking about mayor pete i mean we've heard this over and over again about all kinds of candidates here but i get the sense that this is manufactured whoever this pete character is i mean he seems like a cardboard box that you know that has just been invented almost out of nowhere and

i'm not criticize it i'm not even i have a dog in this fight here but i mean i am quite disturbed how the media is so. so intent on controlling the message and at this point always always always at the expense of bernie sanders and other candidates like to tell c gabbert for example they just disappear her she's not there and that's the media go ahead armin. so let's look at what all of the candidates who've been disappeared have in common they are all people who have major issues with the military industrial complex these are people who want to see government cut spending on the military to stop foreign interventionism to shut down foreign military bases and bring the troops home which by the way is also one of my campaign pledges but the people that the media get behind on the other hand are the very people who they know are not going to be.
