relationship of public anger at northern ireland's police over advice leaflets linking alcohol consumption with rape we discuss claims that the forces fall into victim blaming. they have to be loud and louder because unfortunately people in the sight of politicians are the only here. by all means put. their life most international news age q a moscow welcome to the program with me kevin always good to have you with us to take you through the your top stories of the day before we get to those stories just talked about in the headlines this and he's coming this lunchtime about egypt's former leader hosni mubarak who has died at the age of $91.00 he was the country's only leader to be imprisoned in the 2011 arab world's revolutionary spring after 18 days of nationwide. protests back then egyptian military forced him
7:02 am
to resign you may recall before being jailed on corruption charges he had ruled egypt for 3 decades he was released from prison in 2017 mubarak died in a cairo hospital where he'd undergone surgery apparently according to state media. ok no truck in the cure the corona virus the world health organization is warning of a potential pandemic as cases of it spike across europe in asia italy iran and south korea of now emerged as infection hotspots. this is a time for all countries communities families and individuals to focus on preparing. we do not believe in a binary black and white world it's not either or we must focus on containment why do we have everything we can to prepare for a potential pandemic 80000 cases have been confirmed globally now with almost 3000
7:03 am
deaths in just a single week south korea has seen a huge increase in infections iran has the highest number of deaths outside china 15 and i know to have died and in the last reports of murders of the country's deputy health minister has tested positive for the virus in europe italy has become the 1st country to be hit with a serious outbreak with more than $200.00 infected there and 7 deaths its leaves outbreak has spread beyond the areas sealed off in the north to central and southern regions the reports that neighboring austria has 2 confirmed cases european nations have called emergency meetings on preventing the spread of the virus and of questioning whether the us open border policy should be suspended is our europe correspondent peter all over. tens of thousands of people a lockdown in quarantine in northern italy because of the virus with one of the fundamental freedoms the freedom of movement taking a hit. train
7:04 am
services between italy and austria were temporarily suspended and in france the right wing of politics there is saying that that country's border with italy should be closed and given a model i would prefer to do too much rather than not enough perhaps closing the
7:05 am
borders is necessary if the epidemic is out of control in italy each year on for we can harbor a very serious concerns that there are people in france you might have a virus so i regressed to cautionary measure in my letter to the prime minister as i mentioned all measures of reenforces law to control whole china italy does france control its borders no it doesn't and effective action plan however involves controlling entry from risky or contaminated areas let's have national borders once and for all rumania which has a significant proportion of its citizens living and working in italy so that i will stick to we quarantine period for anyone returning from that country romania might be more exposed to coronavirus cases on the national territory these measures are similar to the ones taken by the italian authorities government officials insist that closing the borders remains a measure of last resort not only because of the impact it would have on public
7:06 am
morale but also it would be very bad for business. a president there are absolutely no grounds for pursuing a suspension of the schengen treaty it would be a draconian measure to take to contain the infection there are no circumstances under which this would not have a devastating impact on our economy and then what we want to do it italy turn it into a quarantine facility. closing the borders would make no sense as the circulation of the virus is not just limited to administers of borders we asked people what they thought about borders and whether they should remain open. sea and maybe that's the only way to stop that i i don't very scary to be contained for sure but i'm not sure completely closing you're seeing is the right answer if there was a closed borders then we're looking at a good thing that we're starting to look at a pandemic you trust in the government story you know it's not necessary to close the borders and her entire crisis everyone is afraid and live in paranoia i think
7:07 am
that we need to continue to live as we leave before so for me it's just closing the borders is quite problematic especially when thinking about trade and other things we should wait for more serious cases it is better to introduce border controls even within the if the virus gets in we will have problems i think it was necessary need to take measures in advance but it's a real unsurety about what to do about the coronavirus among people on the streets here in europe with most hoping that national governments have found peter all of. this being called a trial for journalism around the world as day 2 songes us extradition hearing gets underway in london the wiki leaks co-founder is wanted in america on espionage and hacking charges and could face 175 years behind bars if guilty in the u.s. after publishing classified intelligence data so let's just recap what happened
7:08 am
yesterday day one of the hearing it lasted for 6 hours these are some sketches from the corpuscles building as i was banned outside protesters gathered to supporters. inside defense lawyers argued that the case was politically motivated while the prosecution claimed that was the blows action endangered the lives of his sons his father insists his son's actions harmed no one though. pentagon admitted under. chose the many straws the body had to be by the release or so why aren't we discussing the harm that was released there was revealed by the releases of which is in $29.20 why aren't we here talking in court about the war crimes yes as a nation of innocent civilians by the military the slaughtering of reuters journalists that is what we should be talking about in a courtroom in this country and in america adding their voices to get

7:10 am
routes all extradition cases if the united states is going to revoke the extradition treaty between the u.s. and as it's done here then you know the united kingdom needs to stand up to both countries need to abide by the extradition treaty so you know we are very clear working you know doing our best work u.k. government. to make sure that the decision that the united states has made it's not actually this is not but we are in the middle of it about it standoff it's one of the darkest moments. in the u.s. u.k. the relationship. police in northern ireland of apologized after leaflets linking alcohol consumption to rape were wrongly circulated in belfast the instant triggered an angry backlash in the city with many accusing the force of participating in a culture of victim blaming the flyers claim that many sexual abuse cases happen
7:11 am
when people are drunk and outlined therefore ways that individuals the said to protect themselves the police services the leaflets have been discontinued a number of years ago however this is all a mistake they're investigating why they were distributed in the 1st place it's also stressed rape victims are never at fault but that wasn't good enough for many . this left that is a horrible example of victim blaming from those who are meant to protect the victim this is an issue that has come up again and again and we thought that the lesson had been learned police need to step away from the blaming these leaflets rebirths that dia the police can you please get some don't be a message and stop attacking women leaflets to distribute please how can you prevent a crime you routinely fail to understand with this victim blaming non-sense. we discuss the fallout from a controversial flyer with former british police officer peter kirkwood also women's rights activist are. always the same and the same thing happening again
7:12 am
and again we are in 2020 and still with the this is the blaming the victim of rape but please don't imply i'm in right for anything else what they do do and they have an absolute duty to do is provide people with crime prevention and personal safety advice it would be utterly ridiculous if they didn't shouldn't get drunk come on everyone knows that but why you should put that in these you know in this leaflet why you should connect this to rape sure that's the bad thing people need to avoid making themselves vulnerable to all sorts of things by drinking so much that they don't understand where they are and what they're doing and we see every friday and saturday night in every town center but this is and how sick a is you know so this is a common sense thing for everyone as i said to you don't you shouldn't connect this to rape in your day or to prevent rape you should go in target man who are violent
7:13 am
or let's say these loud and clear you keep asking for things that are effectively the moon on the street how can the police go and find a rapist before they been a rapist and persuade them not to be right past it simply isn't the parson of violence there is a part of violence you knew know that and whether or not you he's alert the police intervene in their efforts or not helped by exaggerated and inaccurate claims by campaigners and i'm sorry i don't agree with him when he says that it's exaggerated i know every time we men speak but it's never exaggerated it's finally our voices are heard you know what we have enough we have enough of this culture of this protect our culture so we need to be united if you agree with me that if this is a social emergency and i'm talking about sexual. buz and domestic violence we need to find are always working together isn't helped by one party exaggerating and claiming that the other party is lying there is no grounds for expect for
7:14 am
a claim in person i will service in all of northern ireland the lying when i say these were old leaflets but somehow through some mistake which will undoubtedly turn into century of administrative error. it is why why you what grounds of you got to say in the police service of northern ireland the lawyering and that's basically what you're doing it's not because every family every this town's like an excuse i'm sorry i'm in what you should be responsible for watch your printer what you put out for how you want to stay over there and also tell us why they're all there when exactly which year they were written who wrote them to give us some kind of you know for more information see if it's true we men there have to be louder and louder because unfortunately people in the society of politicians and policemen they only hear our if we are allowed to be allowed by all means but be accurate. the kremlin has strongly reiterated that russia is not interfering in us internal affairs democrat state side have been urging the
7:15 am
white house to impose additional sanctions on moscow including on president putin it follows meddling claims ahead of november's upcoming presidential election with russia are accused of helping candidates who fight from both parties. a letter from congressional democrats was presented a sensually calling for more sanctions to be imposed on russia in response to allegations of russia trying to interfere in the 2020 presidential election which will take place in november we urge you to identify and target for sanctions all those determined to be responsible for ongoing elections interference including president putin the government of the russian federation any russian actors now as you heard the letter even called for directly sanctioning the russian head of state russian president vladimir putin now we know that these new allegations about the upcoming election are can be traced back to shelby pearson now shelby pearson is
7:16 am
a an intelligence community figure in the united states who is basically at this point the top election security official and she testified before the u.s. house of representatives intelligence committee about allegations that russia is somehow planning to meddle in the 2020 vote for the purpose of making sure that donald trump is reelected did you see that i see these ponies these that do nothing . they said today that cotton wants to be sure that trump gets elected here we go these people are crazy now much of shelby's claim has been disputed and debunked by other figures in the u.s. intelligence community furthermore in the aftermath of this claim from shelby pearson that russia is meddling for the purpose of reelecting trump we now have allegations that russia is meddling for the purpose of electing a u.s. senator bernie sanders from vermont so russia is at this point being accused of
7:17 am
taking 2 different sides in the upcoming vote however russia has been very adamant that this is simply not true the russian government officials have been very adamant that they are not trying to interfere in the u.s. voting process. russian federation does not interfere in other country's internal political process who's we appeal to politicians to stop playing the blame game it's especially striking political forces in washington are exploiting this myth for their opportunistic and making totally grounded and fictitious russian linked allegations against each other is becoming a american political tradition now in 2016 there were widespread allegations of a russian meddling russian collusion in the us election process those allegations continued after the election there was a long investigation and much of what had initially been said was debunked the facts simply didn't add up it wasn't true but regardless of everything the united states has been through and all the allegations that have been hurled and debunked
7:18 am
in the last 4 years it seems like now as the 2020 vote approaches and in november once again the united states will be going to the polls to determine who will be president it seems that allegations about russia will once again be surfacing and that this will be once again part of the election process and determining who will be the president of the united states for the following 4 years we'll continue to for the event this is coming up too after the break meantime let me tell you about a new line drama series is dangerous over depiction of the holocaust is there a poll. the world is driven by shaped by thinkers and.
