journalist and author joe leiria believes that the report does prove this no need for mass surveillance it proves what was fernando anyone who could see clearly that this was a fraud from the very beginning this was about power and money the power of the government control the american people and the money contractors that ran this program have made this based on faulty fear and that's the last line of defense of the united states all of child tried to confuse the interests of a small number of powerful people with the interests of the nation you know the united states has a long history of this false fear of keeping the american people afraid and try and . they say that they have protected it's basically a protection racket they scare the people and then they say we will protect you that's what the mafia does hopefully this report will get the wider gentian of the service so that's beginning people begin to question these false narratives of fear and why they need these kinds of 1000000000 dollar programs that make them rich and keep them powerful but does nothing for the american people and in fact it invades

5:13 pm
nation over attitudes towards patriotism with the report quotes governors and chancellors he fear academic institutions are seen as out of touch he goes on to say that the sector should show that it speaks for 4 am reflects the whole of the u.k. and recommends education leaders should avoid being critics he should avoid being critics who actively despise those who have traditional values it also encourages universities to make sure their students feel safe to express their conservative viewpoints a professor at the london school of economics told us universities as opposed to a lab critical examination of all ideas british universities have become what we call very wall that is very sensitive to. sexual inequality and student unions in particular but also all sorts of groups of students create. lobby the university of storage to make
5:14 pm
a great deal of noise in different ways if the sink an academic or a visitor who's been invited to speak at the university or one of the students at the university said something which doesn't fit in with the kind of left wing politically correct consensus so the loss of students who very shy about expressing their views particularly of the conservatives i don't particularly believe in brook's. now is the u.k. enters its post break the transition period is facing the challenge to its economic future in the form of chlorinated cheek in because the e.u. says it won't agree a trade deal with britain unless it keeps a ban on the product in its trade negotiations with the united states a partridge as the story. it seems the humble chicken could sink u.k. hopes of a trade deal with the e.u. that's because europe's in
5:15 pm
a flap over britain potentially importing chlorine wash chicken from the u.s. as part of a new trade deal with washington the e.u. outlawed the practice in 1997 and the french are saying if the brits been the ban they can forget any deal with the block is also pleased with the new british companies i hear them i see them i need them they all tell me we want to keep european rules because we want to ensure access to 500000000 european consumers i don't need any convincing no british or european company produces goods according to just any old standards on the contrary all companies in particular british farmers understand that to keep exporting it's best to do all they can to have the regulatory alignment that will grant them access to our markets but also in the wings is the u.s. which for years has tried and failed to get the e.u. so weaken its food and farming standards to bring them into line with america's breck's it presents a chance to break open a major european market the other issue which people got very obsessed about here
5:16 pm
is chlorinated chicken deliver on our comes that benefit the agricultural sector and most importantly consumers who are going to be the net beneficiaries of these really good deals american producers claim they've turned away from chlorine in favor of other disinfectants but the e.u. still believes the use of such methods at the end of the meat production process could compensate for poor hygiene standards plus other fears of inhumane treatment while farmers leaders think it would be madness to import such goods this year the government must show global leadership insists that u.k. farm standards are the benchmark for climate friendly farming around the world and that whoever wants to trade with us trades on our terms. and we must not allow those standards to be undermined by imports of goods which would be illegal for our farmers to produce here to the average briton chlorine is associated with keeping
5:17 pm
swimming pools clean and not for washing chickens so what do people think on the streets of london would you restrict in this predicting chlorine no of course not you know you are free now and we've got to be visionary and i'm going to consume if you give me more gas not read the news or not i definitely wouldn't eat it i just go to pictures and buy my chicken there so they get they quite welcome so here we don't have to buy it so yeah i would advise yes but i think the problem is that people wouldn't necessarily know so on the one hand there's the chance of a deal with the e.u. already the u.k.'s biggest trading partner and guaranteed food standards on melba a potential deal with the u.s. the world's biggest economy and cheap chlorine chicken a foul conundrum for the u.k. government a partridge otty london. news in brief that. i

5:30 pm
at the deal this century what your thesis in this article is simply the fact to recognize that israel or zionism is more like any normal nationalism it's not like nationalism of russian nationalism or other nationalism precisely because it was given this was dictated by god and it was an empire of a civilization will a metaphysical empire. came to the roman empire it came to the room and then and even the secular leaders of being gorean who was very secular all saw the us not just as a nationalist project but the redemption of the human race as what he described i mean not the jewish people but the human race as a whole and it's. and it tells the jews exactly what will be them that it.
