because here. we need to be reached. paid to die germany's constitutional court repeals a 5 year old ban on assisted suicide services sparking fears of an exploitative trade in. u.k. government withholds the findings of an investigation into grooming gangs reportedly claiming it is not in the public interest to get reaction from a victim of sexual abuse. i think it's a disgusting decision and definitely in that. you have thousands of children that are being abused. but you sound as rivals in the race for the democratic u.s. presidential nomination results in the 26th stephen playbook insinuating russian

backing for the front runner is the phrase russian t.v. trends on twitter following an old auntie interview with his wife resurfacing on the site. good afternoon thanks for joining us this is r.t. internet. germany has lifted a ban on the commercial sale of euthanasia critics warn that the right to die will now be exploited for profit correspondent peter oliver takes a closer look. 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 means is that that's being overturned and not only could companies offer euthanasia 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 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 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 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 offerings 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. living their lives rather than promoting assisted suicide nouther naisi of services so we would be extremely worried about any commercialization all run of the process or indeed promotion that would lead to many fine reports 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 aware that this

is right for germany it's not a commercial thing dying it it's something that needs care security he needs. yet professionalism if you are certain things that you cannot put to seal to people like it's not a business you before 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 to me there was very bad incentives there if for example that 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 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 that promoting this kind of fings 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 set to joy in the

concerns are about what is one of the most sensitive of subjects could be set to become a business opportunity teacher all over the in. the debated issue with dr robert junkier who's the communications director of the world federation of right to die societies and with vision to have a solely from germany's delinquent party. in reality you're posing euthanasia as a business issue or a business model that euthanasia is only on the request of the person i was going to die they've dispersant is not asking for it there should not be any euthanasia but we're talking about a very different thing here court decision was about commercial assisted suicide this isn't allows commercial providers to provide suicide assistance like make dolls of suicide is sort of the objects tool to talking about

mcdonalds giving suicide persistence some people do not want to wait with their dying till they're finally suffering too much and they want to keep the addicted t. by deceit ruling from the confusion o.-port it is possible for persons to ask a professional to give a proper medically assisted suicide and i think death is a great game this. is a democratic decision makers in parliament have continued 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 an easy way out. the u.k. government is withholding research on grooming gangs this was commission after a spate of child sexual exploitation scandals and so on the home office explained its decision to sit on the findings. we recognise that this topic in general and any insight and learning matters of strong public interest although it does not necessarily follow that it is in the public interest to disclose any specific information relating to it victims of grooming gangs accuse the authorities of inaction and empty promises we spoke to one survivor. i met my me when i was 4 he was 24 years old and he was known to get activations for being a very dangerous person as abused mentally physically and sexually and also into committing crimes as well and that's another part of explantation that many victims themselves and have been subjected to i went to the police when i was 16 and

nothing happened unfortunately 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 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 my starry in august 2013 and it was actually because of that where the criminal investigation into the. it's 900000 suspected victims of child sexual exploitation were reportedly identified by local authorities in 2800 to 2019 that's a huge increase on 5 years earlier the government's vowed to take action investigation into the problem of grooming gangs was announced by such a job at the former home secretary back in 28 team he pledged he would not let cultural or political sensitivities get in the way victims say the decision not to publish the pros findings leaves them with many unanswered questions. i think is

a disgusting decision it is definitely in the public's interest you have thousands of children that have being abused really exploited. and into crime so a sexual acts and we want to know why this is what happened why it's still happening a why these people are being allowed to get away with it there is clearly something in that report that the government doesn't want is to know about because if they didn't want us there was no issue they just release it so the fact that they're making excuses and he's proud weak excuses well it's not a dowry chest so the fact that now a good many say well actually we're not even good at least it's. you know i think it's a real blow to us as victims we've crossed a comment from the u.k. home office which is yet to reply we also got reaction from child protection activist tony bugel who says the decision will undermine trust in politicians. this

report was promised to fit. and again they found them and just think that 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 a combination of political correctness i think is a cultural sensitivities i think it's fear of what they believe will stop grace ism people in this country don't trust politicians and he will without being able to see what's going on we don't know if we're being lied to again and now and then that has to stop it and the political correctness of having this this we fear a backlash world you know what we fear girls being raped. next week sees super tuesday when us democrats in 40 states will choose their preferred candidate for president over the latest poll showing bernie sanders leading in 9 of those states is the race rivals are crying foul the allege

a success is all part of a clever strategy artist on court a look at whether the russians have been rumbled. good news comrades our agent bernie sanders is doing better 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 tromp and sanders with our center in moscow as you learned tonight and today and yesterday the day before is going to have we're going to war help coming from learn to be prudent move through you know for help for 102 new one

somebody who didn't think could be from at least age and 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 disgraceful and i think it was a leak from the intelligence committee our house version and i think that they liked 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 and the order was to deny sanders deny but he broke under pressure blowing the cover of our moscow back to bernie bros i design these people they are not part of our movement all of us remember 2016 and

what we meant what we remember is efforts by russians and others to try to interfere in our election and divide us up. i'm not saying that's happening but it would not shock me the center has good reason to believe agent sanders has been compromised we're 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 thing it's only a matter of time before they discover 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 in there 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 one 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 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 they don't want biden rule in politics pick your opponent and putin and trump are picking their opponent to happy a perfect right now it's about one thing time this thing is going very well for bladder we have to promise you. probably stay up watching us right now how you doing our rivals already know too much comrade commissar i think it's time to extract our agents. well. the phrase russian t.v. has been trending on twitter in the united states have to the chairman of the democratic coalition posted a video of bernie sanders wife appearing on. bernie sanders would fare better

against donald trump and hillary clinton. i have no doubt and all you have to do is look at every primary and caucus that was an open primary where independents could vote or republicans could go over and vote he won bernie sanders his wife went on russian t.v. to explain why open primaries like the south carolina democratic primary on saturday are more democratic because they allow republicans to vote for who the democratic nominee should be sorry jane this is just wrong. and the 4 year olds cliff jane sun this is speaking to anti american and chills to his work without t.v. show it's hosted a show on one of the most pro democrat news networks m s n b c not long before his death in 2018 he revealed how his coverage of bernie sanders 2016 efforts at the democratic nomination and raged his bosses that. when bernie sanders was announcing that he was going to be

a candidate for the nomination of the democratic party in burlington vermont i was the only cable host between 5 m s n b c and c n n that was there a live coverage now there were a lot of cameras there but we had coordinated with the say ender's campaign that at 5 o'clock he was going to make his announcement and we were going to cover this on the edge show it's 5 minutes to air and i get a phone call from phil griffin you're not covering this i said phil. bernie sanders is announcing he's running for president he's going to be president here you're not covering this now let me give you the opinion i think the clintons were connected and the lack connected at the hip i think that they didn't want anybody in their prime time or any any were in their line up supporting bernie sanders i think that they were in the tank for hillary clinton and i think it was managed in 45 days later i was out of the mess and b.c.

. another democratic candidate is police the school his 1st win in the primaries in south carolina that's something that he's losing something else a story a more after a short break. what politicians do. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so. you want to be president. or something want to be rich. but you'd like to be close to see what the 43 of them or can't be good. interested always in the water as it. should. seem wrong. just don't all. get to say

proud just being educated and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. when the sun does opponents in the race for the democratic nomination joe biden is supposed to win in the next primaries south carolina that would be his 1st scalp tracting votes though it might not be biden's biggest problem.

my name's joe biden i'm a governor crab a candidate for the united states senate look over here like which he helped out and now both going to by give me a look though ok. proudest of. is getting past getting moved to getting control of the paris climate accord i'm a guy that came back after media were done child pretty. my son one of. my deceased son was attorney general you know he states and for that he was a federal prosecutor one of the largest offices in the country in philadelphia. it is important that on the ground and spoken.

there flooding a dead horse or or trying to push that dead horse back into the race across the 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. 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. a multimillion dollar national security agency surveillance program in the u.s. has only managed to provide unique data for just a couple of cases according to

a newly declassified study by a us government watchdog the n.s.a. surveillance program called prism tapped u.s. domestic phone calls between 20072019 1st exposed to the public by whistleblower edward snowden was aimed at preventing terrorist attacks and in the past 4 years the program has cost taxpayers $100000000.00. however major doubts have now been raised over its effectiveness the new report reveals that in a 4 year period the program yielded only one significant investigation moreover only twice in the last 4 years that it managed to generate information that wasn't already known to the f.b.i. the prism program was sought her eyes through several pieces of legislation including the u.s. patriot act that was signed by president george w. bush in the wake of the 911 attacks was revised as the u.s. freedom act following the snowden revelations in 2013 but is set to expire next month on the top of ministration struggling to keep it alive vertically journalist and author joe and lawyer believes that the report proves there's 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 of the american people and the money that 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 it deserves 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 their privacy in a complete violation of the constitution this report should hammer that 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. the u.k. has all down to lining with e.u. rules a spot of any post spring to trade deal one of the things brussels is insisting on is a continued ban on chlorinated chicken imports public those likely to be pushed for by the americans in the trade negotiations with britain i think a party explains. 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 these little guys with the nuke the british companies i hear them i see them i mean they all tell me we want to keep european rules because we want to ensure access to 500000000 european consumers but also in

the wings is the u.s. which for years has tried and failed to get the e.u. to 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 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 swimming pools clean and not for washing chickens so what do people think on the streets of london would you restrict it has been dipped in chlorine no of course not you know you know what i'm afraid that he's got to be visionary and i'm going to consume chicken anymore thus not we don't. no i definitely wouldn't eat it i just go to the cheese and buy my chicken there so they get they quite welcome so here we don't have to buy it so yeah i wouldn't buy it yet 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 chick in
