12:01 am
a protege of the russian government. good morning and welcome to the program this is art international coming to you live from the russian capital bring you your live news update. germany has lifted a ban on the commercial sale of euthanasia paving the way for the controversial medical practice to be marketed as a service. or takes a look at what the 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 culture is 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
12:02 am
means is that that being overturned and not only could companies offer use in asia but that advertising for the deaf could also stop being seeing the thinking behind wednesday's court ruling is that this will allow those in extreme pain 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 this society is economize designers 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
12:03 am
also what the commercial implications will 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 aphoristic are excluded it is perfectly normal for people who have a terminal diagnosis to feel suicide in fact some of the studies show that i have 80 percent go through a period of depression with some sort of sidle thoughts and so what we should be doing is trying to find ways to assist those people in getting through that period and actually. having their lives rather than promoting assisted suicide nouther nicias services so we would be extremely worried about any commercialization all round off the process or indeed promotion that would lead to many fine ripple for people feeling that their lives were not worth living and actually ending them prematurely highest people here in berlin what their thoughts are on the ruling of whether this is right for germany it's not
12:04 am
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 sail to people like it's not a business you pay for yes i know want to commit suicide but i'm suffering i want to end my life you cannot do that to pay for it seems like there was very bad incentives there if for example as advertising as i do targets people who are already having a hard time it could lead to people considering suicide more strongly i don't disagree with their 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 a really it depends on who is in control of the promoting these kind of things for me is that a progress currently within a year of belgium the netherlands looks a book and switzerland all allow assisted dying but with germany said to joy in the concerns are about what is one of the most sensitive of subjects could be set to
12:05 am
become a business opportunity peter all of the. we debated the issue with dr rob is donkey here who is the communications director of the world federation a right to die societies and based on tell us a link from the german left party. in reality your posing. as a business or a business model but you don't as he is only only questions to person i was going to die they've dispersed and he's not asking for it there will be any you. but we're talking about a very different thing here decision was about commercial assisted suicide this isn't a louse commercial provided us to provide suicide assistance like make dolls of suicides is sort of the objects tool to talking about mcdonalds giving suicide to exists and some people do not want to wait with their dying till they're finally
12:06 am
suffering too much and they want to keep to addicted t. by deceit ruling from the constitutional court it is possible for press persons to ask a professional to give a proper medically is this a suicide and i think death is a great game this. is a tragic 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 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 seeing that as the easy way out. government is refusing to
12:07 am
release of official research on the characteristics of grooming gangs claiming it's not in the public interest victims though accuse the authorities of inaction and making empty promises we spoke to one survivor now an adult who was sexually abused at the age of 16. i that my me have changed when i was 1st he was 28 and he was known to. be a very dangerous person as abused mentally physically and sexually and also into committing crimes as well and that's another part exploitation that many sell and be subjected to i went to the police when i was 16 and you have been to a fight you know but again i went to the police when i think about 27 years old and i didn't feel to see it parted again so i contacted a journalist from a newspaper there and i told him everything that happened and i gave him a lot sedition you know pieces of evidence to prove what happened and he published
12:08 am
my story in august 2013 and it was actually because of that where the criminal investigation into that we started. some 19000 suspected victims of child sexual exploitation were reportedly identified by local authorities in 2018 to 19 and that's a huge increase on 5 years earlier the u.k. government has vowed to take action the so-called grooming gangs investigation was announced by the former home secretary in 2018 he pledged that he would not let cultural or political sensitivities get in the way of fixing the problem but victims say the decision not to publish the probe's findings leaves them with many unanswered questions. i think it's a disgusting decision and it is definitely in the public's interest you have thousands of children that have being abused exploited i'm going to cry these
12:09 am
are sexual acts and we want to know why this is what happened why it's still happening a lie these people are being allowed to get away with it there's clearly something in that report that the government don't want us to tell about because if they didn't want us there was no we should they just release it so the fact that they're making excuses and things like weak excuses well to say it's not a dowry chest so the fact that now google many say well actually we're not even good at least the standings. you know i think is a real blow to his victims we request of comment from the u.k. home office which has yet to reply but we did get reaction from activist tony bugel from mothers against radical islam and shari'a she says the decision will undermine trust and politicians. this report was promised to 15. and again they found them and just they're making excuses and all they've done is they have gone back on the word that they gave to victims of these crimes it's
12:10 am
a combination of political correctness i think is a cultural sensitivities i think it's fear of what they believe will stoke racism people whose country don't trust politicians anymore without being able to see what's going on we don't know if we'll be annoyed to again and now and then that has to stop it and the political correctness of having this this what we fear a backlash would you know what we fear goes being right. the u.s. is now preparing for super tuesday that's the day when democrats in 14 states will choose their preferred candidate for president according to the latest polling british standards leads in line of those states but as the latest t.v. debate showed his rivals don't think it's his policies that are driving his success artist on a quarter of ports. good news comrades our agent bernie sanders is doing better
12:11 am
than we expected in the primaries are planned to have 2 agents fight over the presidency operation hammer and sickle is a go but we have one problem some in the democratic party establishment are becoming savvy to our strategy vladimir putin thinks donald trump should be president of the united states and that's why russia is helping bernie sanders get elected so he'll lose to trump it doesn't help that just last week western media published information about our top secret operation exposing the connection between agents trump and sanders with our center in moscow as you learned tonight and today yesterday the day before is going to have we're going to come in from learn to be a prudent move. or know for 102 new one somebody who did it could be from at least agent trump was able to follow orders i admit nothing deny everything and make counter accusations it was highly exaggerated. and frankly i think it's
12:12 am
disgraceful and i think it was a week from the intelligence committee hours i was greeted and i think that they leaked it i think probably shipley good agent sanders on the other hand really dropped the ball he panicked and that is the ugliest thing they're doing is they are trying to cause chaos the trying to cause a truth in america it's an ugly business and all of us have got to say sorry you're not going to do this in the selection and again is present in the united states. you will not interfere in our elections the order was to deny sanders deny but he broke under pressure blowing the cover of our moscow back to bernie bros i disowned those people they are not taught all of our moves that all of us remember 2016 what we were what we were that's why russians and others to try to interfere in our election and so i'd also oh i'm not saying that. but it would not show if you are the center has good reason to believe agent sanders has been compromised we're
12:13 am
losing control over his actions and he's praising our strategic allies too openly you know when fidel castro came into office you know what he did he had a massive literacy program it's not a bad think it's only a matter of time before they discovered the interview agent sanders gave to profit i mean r t what effect do you think you can have on your voters it was so close here in iowa well i just hope that people take a hard look at the real issues impacting their lives to make matters worse we may have a mole in our midst how else could the footage have been leaked remember when the comrades recruited sanders at the new year's party of 1980 bernie spent his honeymoon and then in soviet russia i mean i think you're going to go back and forth about who's more in the tank with russia it's a really hard line between barney and rob we have made too many tactical blunders as it is and western pundits are already undergoing a campaign to discredit our agent obviously we know the russians are continuing to try to choose our next president like they chose our last president the russians
12:14 am
don't want me to be the nominee who spent a lot of money on bots on facebook and they've been taken down say biden is a bad guy that no one biden rule in politics pick your opponent and putin and trump are picking their opponent the happiest person right now it's about one in moscow time this thing is going very well for but we have to promise you. probably stay up watching us right now how you doing we'll have our rivals already know too much comrade commissar i think it's time to extract our agents kind of funny how the democrats now or using this supposed bernie russian narrative to try to attack him you know whether it be through advertisements or in the debate the fact of the matter is you know russia did not elect president trump and russia is not to blame for the democrats failings in the 26000 election the fact is that they were in. very weak candidate who didn't have strong prospects against somebody like
12:15 am
president trump who really spoke for you know the silent majority in america that was fed up with d.c. politics you know i don't think that there's really an instance where foreign meddling can really affect an election to the point where really you know a foreign entity in essence is deciding. different country's next leader. one more state will vote before super tuesday and that would be south carolina and their former front runner and joe biden is poised to win and it would be his 1st scalp attracting votes though might not be biden's biggest problem. my name's joe biden i'm a democratic candidate for the united states senate look over here like crazy help out is not bowled rather by give me a look though ok. one the
12:16 am
exact proudest of. is getting past getting moved to getting control of the paris climate accord on a guy that came back after a meeting with dung chow pretty. my son one of. my deceased son was an attorney general of united states and for that he was a federal prosecutor one of the largest offices in the country and in philadelphia . it is important that i want to grab them spoken. there flooding a dead horse or or trying to push that dead horse back into the race across the
12:17 am
finish line might be another way to look at it yes it does seem futile that they're trying to prop him up but he can't raise money he's putting all his hopes. on being convincing south carolina black voters that he's the next rock obama and it's just a matter of time before he fans those voters with making some horrible misstatement now it's time for him to step aside. people diagnosed with a new type of coronavirus have been found in 4 more countries now 1st time cases were registered in algeria austria croatia and switzerland and another 1st wednesday saw more new cases registered outside of china in 459 versus 412 italy has been struck by the largest outbreak outside asia the virus has killed 12

people there the government has put several towns on lockdown trying to stop the spread and more than $50000.00 people are under quarantine and shops are running out of essential. party the possible of. course is the future the goal. of this book yet there was a goal that went up to each of those folks a. journalist. has spoken with the celebrated russian medical professor and viral specialist a mutual evolve about the spread of the virus. here is the work although there are 2 types of coronavirus the alpha coronavirus
12:19 am
involves a human virus that's been circulating among people hundreds of years seasonal coronavirus a type of acute respiratory viral infection this year around 7 percent of acute respiratory viral infection cases are coronaviruses. here with us humans just got accustomed to them yes humans got accustomed to them they only felt they cause some trouble especially among children why are these viruses mostly spread in winter and winter our body is going through some restructuring or a decrease in the resistance to infections secondly in winter there's a high concentration of people in houses buildings bars in 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 that soul but in
12:20 am
china and even in some places in russia they have tight most with a respirator they can protect other people if you're ill so the mask can't help you personally know or only to a minor extent. why is this does the virus pass through eyes as well yes and also these pools they can protect them he gives large droplets the person becomes infected when he or she speaks maybe i have inflicted you who are you trying to infect me i hope you won't i also hope not to be honest mosques can partially protect from that. a multi-million dollar national security agency's surveillance program and the u.s. has only managed to provide unique data for just a couple of cases that's according to a newly declassified study to by a u.s. government watchdog and i say surveillance program called prison tap to u.s. domestic phone calls between 200720198 was 1st exposed to the public by
12:21 am
whistleblower edward snowden was aimed at preventing terror attacks and in the past 4 years the program has cost taxpayers $100000000.00 however major doubts have now been raised about the effectiveness of the program that new report reveals that in the 4 year period the program only one significant investigation moreover only twice in the last 4 years did it manage to generate information that was not 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 attacks it was revised as the u.s. freedom act following the revelations in 2013 but is set to expire next month and the trumpet ministration is struggling to keep it alive and best of journalist and author joe lauria believes the report proves there's no need for mass surveillance . it proves what was fernando anyone who could see clearly that this was
12:22 am
a fraud from the very beginning this was about power and money the power of the government to 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 overly this report will get the wide attention it 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 have hammered out home that this is a bogus program there is no national security at stake there is no reason for the
12:23 am
government of spied on american people when only one case came out of all of this and it has to stop. as the u.k. enters its post bragg's the transition period it's facing a unique challenge to its economic future chlorinated check out the says it won't agree on a trade deal with britain unless it keeps a ban on the power product and its trade negotiations with the united states are to escape partridge explains. it seems the humble chicken could sink u.k. hopes of a trade deal with the e.u. that's because europe's in 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 this also goes with any british companies i hear them i see them i mean they all tell me we want to keep european rules because
12:24 am
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 is chlorinated chicken deliver on our comes that benefit the agricultural sector and most importantly consumers who are going to be the 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
12:25 am
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 swimming pools clean and not for washing chickens so what do people think on the streets of london would you restrict in this predicted glory no of course not you know you are free now and have got to be vicious you have not been heard consume it you couldn't even pass not we don't have no i definitely wouldn't eat it i just had the cheese and buy chicken there so they get they quite welcome so here we don't
12:26 am
have to buy it so yeah i would invite 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 the other 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 ulti london. that's a news wrap up for now but i'll be back at the top of the hour thanks for tuning it .
12:27 am
