a couple of cases. a very warm welcome you watching on c international with me carrying now residents of towns in northeastern france are creating a stink by trash talking belgian neighbors they're accusing them of some serious cross border fly tipping. visit to the region. this may look like part of a landfill site but it's not all of this waste has been dumped here illegally we're just a few miles from the border with belgium and luxembourg and the french town of all core mu 9 is one of many struggling to cope with what you can see mountains and to mountains of garbage that have appeared since october in nearby

red it's a similar story trash both household and commercial has been dumped under the cover of darkness city. at 1st we thought it was regular waste but it turns out people are illegally dumping their washing machines. they're throwing everything away. yes but here we see it's far more serious we estimate around 200 tons of waste it's enormous as far as the pollution we don't know what's inside it could be tonnes of who knows what type of products chemicals. we don't know we see cleaning products plastics but more could be hidden it didn't take long before locals track down where the waste was coming from what if we did i was looking through the trench piles and piles of it it all had signs of being from the same place we searched and found out it was from on term. and that it if here's an invoice

is it and. i'm very clear it says. so there were it when the company was contacted it denied any knowledge of illegal waste dumping but the local resident jessica told me that since that statement the fly tipping has continued it's been described as a dumping on an industrial scale and you can see why back in redone the local. association is also concerned. on the water source or close to this pollution so there could be a problem because it could affect our pond this is the 21st century there are designated places to put like this it's an acceptable people are doing this and regulate the mayor's office says the cost of cleaning this up is beyond its means no unusual for yourself on

a financial level for us this is impossible to solve we have a small community of 1000 people it would cost the equivalent of the whole annual budget to get rid of this. a criminal investigation into this problem with cross border dumping has we know you print and customs agents have stepped up their patrols now in 2017 they reported that 7 metric tons of waste like this was illegally trafficked into france in 2018 that shot up to 130000000 metric tons now although there are no figures yet available for 29000 it is clear that this issue is escalating the communities here are fed up of being a dumping ground for of the people's waste they want more regulation and are calling on the e.u. to step in to solve a problem that some believe europe's open borders are helping to facilitate

a decrease in the resistance to infections secondly when to there's a high concentration of people in houses buildings bars and other places and the high concentration of people is a condition for epidemic spread why is it happening in china there are many people them and there's a high concentration of population them they call it a deadly virus on t.v. it's not deadly it's always been and will always be and we should be ready for that i've got 2 words to say about mosques these goals ranks on most the toll but in china and even in some places in russia they have tight most with a respirator they can protect other people if you are ill so the mosque on top you personally know or only to a minor extent. why is this does the response through arches well yes and also these pools but you can't protect them against large droplets a person becomes infected when he or she speaks maybe i have infected you or you

a newly declassified study by a us government watchdog the n.s.a. surveillance program called prism a top 2 u.s. domestic phone calls between 20072019 1st exposed to the public by whistleblower edward snowden it was aimed at preventing terror attacks and in the past 4 years the program cost taxpayers $100000000.00 however major doubts have now been over its effectiveness the new report reveals that in a 4 year period the program yielded only one significant investigation more of only twice in the last 4 years did it manage to generate information that wasn't already known to the f.b.i. the prism program was authorized through several pieces of legislation including the u.s. patriot act it was 1st signed by president george w. bush in the wake of the $911.00 attacks it was revised the u.s. freedom act following the snowden revelations in $28.00 but it is set to expire next month on the trumpet ministration is struggling to keep it alive investigative

journalist and author joe lauria believes the report proves there is no need for mass surveillance. it proves what was for known to 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 the contractors that ran this program have made this based on false fear and that's the last line of defense of the united states all the time to try to confuse the interests of a small number of powerful people with the interests of the nation you know the united states has had a long history of this false fear of keeping the american people afraid and trying to say that they have to be 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 wide attention of deserves so that's beginning people begin to question these false narratives of fear and why they need these kinds of $1000000000.00 programs that make them rich and keep them powerful but does nothing for the american people and in fact it

invades their privacy in a complete violation of the constitution this report should hammad out home that this is a bogus program there is no national security at stake there is no reason for the government of spied on american people when only one case came out of all of this and it has to stop. and to many of the abrogation of the law that made euthanasia illegal has opened the way for the controversial medical practice to be marketed as a service ozzy's pays all of it takes a closer look at what the potential implications might be. almost 5 years after it was banned the highest court in germany has ruled that blocking assisted suicide is unconstitutional and making its ruling on wednesday the constitutional court in college shura said everyone has a right to live and a right to die article 217 of the german criminal code outlawed euthanasia as well

as the advertising of the services what this ruling from the constitutional court means is that that's being overturned and not only could companies offer euthanasia but that advertising for the day could also stop being seeing the thinking behind wednesday's court ruling is that this will allow those in extreme paying and suffering from terminal illnesses to end their lives on their terms however senior voices within palliative care are warning that this could perhaps only to the normalization and indeed the commodification 'd of suicide in society now the facilitation of suicide for the sick and tired of life is turning into a normal service anyone who allows you to nature will sooner or later make it compulsory to die especially in the societies economized design has knowledge of experience across all other countries shows that supply creates demand immediately following the ruling politicians are asking what situations this will be allowed in

also what the commercial implications would be for companies wanting to get involved in the euthanasia business i want clear rules about when medical assistance in particular is allowed and when commercial offerings are excluded i asked people here in berlin what their thoughts are on the ruling aware that this is right for germany it's not a commercial thing dying it it's something that needs care security it needs. yes professionalism i think there are certain things that you cannot put to sale to people like it's not a. business you before i die yes i know want to commit suicide but i'm suffering when in my life you cannot do that to pay for it seems to me there was very bad incentives there if for example as advertising was actually targets people who were already having a hard time it could lead to people considering suicide more strongly i don't disagree with the physician assisted suicide just because like there are certain

aspects that are beneficial for it but in terms of the advertising i could go either way like it really it depends on who is in control of the promoting this going to feel for me the progress currently within europe belgium the netherlands looks a book and switzerland all allow assisted dying but with germany said to joy in the concerns are about that what is one of the most sensitive of subjects could be set to become a business opportunity teacher all over r t. let's discuss this further and bring in dr robert john king here who's the communications director of the world for the ration of right to die societies and bees and have a study from the german left party welcome both to the program it's great to have you with us and 1st question please it's too dr john king and in case you the nation does become a regular service performed by private companies do you think we could don't do you worry that we could end up in a situation where these companies are going to be putting profits before human life

. i am not afraid because in reality you're posing euthanasia as a business issue or a business model but euthanasia is only on the request of the person who was going to die and they've dispersed and is not asking for it there will be any euthanasia and i am at least what we see in the benelux and in the rest of the world where this is said dying is legalized regulated anyway we don't see any thing like that for days ing or making it to business. this question suppose on t'other slowly and those in favor all these days are they say it's everybody's right to decide if they want to end their life and do so with dignity and without pain is not something he would agree with absolutely everybody should have the right to commit suicide if they want to that's a natural right of man that no one should take from them but we're talking about

a very different thing here today's court decision was about commercial assisted suicide the paragraph $217.00 of the penal code already allows us for free suicide assistance it even allows you to pay someone as long as that someone is a relative of yours this isn't allows commercial providers to provide suicide assistance like mcdonalds of suicides and this is something that our society clearly does not want and so the democratic decision makers in parliament have continue to decide against it and the court overruling that is a dangerous precedent of non-democratic decision by this court so said you guys have become a regular service do you see the the concept of assisted suicide think slow boiling out of control here. i don't absolutely i don't see it if you look at the

psychological issues here for example is the human that effect if you talk about suicide in the media then many people that would not otherwise commit suicide do in fact commit suicide and this is why every report in the media of suicide always shows people where they can go where they can find help and the media try to minimize reports of suicide and so if we see commercial advertising we will see many people saying that is the easy way out i think question so you don't yet place go ahead and i think i think the presentation of this issue as if it is going to be commercialized is because the ruling in 2015 actually said to assisted suicide which was already legal is germany before tools housing safety it should not be a mate point of issue from commercial issues but even that was a very very debatable issue and i think that what happened with the ruling in

2015 was that the relatives were going to be the ones who were going to assist someone in a suicide and now that it is a way the ruling is possible for doctor and i am certain he objects to to talking about mcdonald's giving suicides assistance because that is absolutely wrong framing of the whole issue as there is not remaining there very countries a controversial topic does it worry you that as a result of it being marketed as a yet another service do you think that people are going to become desensitized to suicide. i think people are going desensitize about talking about dying about this and the whole problem is that some people do not want to die or wait with those dying till they're finally suffering too much and they want to keep the addicted t.

and make their own choices and by deceit ruling from the course you know court it is possible for persons to ask a professional to give a proper medically existed suicide and i think death is a great gain of this. disease i think question to be john tommy what are your biggest concerns here. my concern is that it could be normalized to a degree that other people relatives or friends could exert pressure on someone to actually go through assisted suicide even if that person would not otherwise consider. well there i think we seem to have lost the connection with that seizure on top of us slowly that let's continue for a couple more questions with that with dr john king and just one more questions he plays are you sure that it will be terminally ill patients only and not for instance for instance people suffering from mental illness who well opt for

euthanasia if a rest if assisted dying is made readily available are we going to see a lot more of these people suffering with depression on a regular but these kinds of mental health issues you know opting for suicide before turning to other options for help. i think 1st of all it is not present about terminal illness that is about the person who is suffering unbearably and hopelessly derrius been a lot of treatment probably people who ask for assisted suicide or as his dying have already followed all kinds of polizzi of care trajectories and so on and they ask for assistance by a professional so annoyed by a made gilmore by a professional and that this a doctor and a doctor is only well he is allowed by law anyway to help now he was not allowed before discounts to general ruling. so he's hill out to assist the

medical aid in dying and he is making it sure that the basin only gets 8 when it is really impossible to do any of the trajectory and we see in the netherlands in the belgium where we have more than 30 years of experience we don't see this slope going down with more and more people with people giving pressure people asking just because they want to die they may ask but they won't get it and that this all the effect that if you are asked assistance from a professional he only will provide the assistance if he can stand behind it. i do i think we have that piece on top us only back where there is now peace and can you here as in the studio yes i'm very sometimes how you take your back but one question for you please be is on. one of the other avenues of treatments would you

suggest in place of euthanasia if the one reason someone is so determined that they want to end their lives what would you encourage them to do before hand i mean it and do you think euthanasia should still be available in some exceptional cases would you are you dead against it. i am absolutely against commercial assisted suicide and i think that the court ruling is logical because many drugs heroin l.s.d. and other stronger arts remain classified and illegal in all cases in germany so if the court wants to put forward personal autonomy then why should people who don't see any reason to continue to live try to use drugs and i'm not in favor of drugs but you know it makes no sense to say you con to use drugs and we want to legalize drugs but we allow you to die i think it is a perverse sign of late capitals eat in germany that we are now putting price tags

on human lives. i can't afford that's all we have time for it's been a very interesting conversation thank you both for joining us dr rob john king at the communications director of the well it's federation of right to die societies and how the study from the german left party thank you very much ok thank you all for being thank you by thanking everyone for joining us on r.t. international this hour we're back at the top of the hour with the latest headlines thank you. people who have money and people who have money in savings are actually digging into their pockets because. they're taking money out of their pockets thanks to the central bankers and they're giving it to a billionaire so he can buy. this is louis the 16th i believe
