in the stories that shaped the week paedophiles foster children and job me for decades a new report reveals a new far as he's new. we hear from the victims. every day was mental and physical mistreatment we were forced to do things we wouldn't normally do because we were threatened our lawyers have been destroyed we are unable to work and we have become aware that we are just a pointless misery. russia rejects claims that meddled in last year's election in the u.k. all to try to steal information on the country's coronavirus vaccine. on trying to says it will hit back following president trump's revoking of hong kong special trade status.

the latest developments on a new doc what's been happening over the last 7 days you're watching the week here on our. well turns out the known paedophiles had been for fostering young boys in job many for years that's the finding of a new report in the country which claims your far 1 as the time the blind are you why in fact complicit in that continue peta all of that has been speaking to some of the thick tim's. of abuse carried out by put in a position to protect the most vulnerable in society for 30 years starting in the 1970 s. berlin or thorazine placed children in the care of a convicted paedophile named for its age i spoke to 2 of his victims to

protect their right to anonymity they'll be named only as sven and marco. our daily lives were dominated by instructions we were shielded from the outside world like a sect most of the time we faced violence if we wanted to go out or meet someone else we were intimidated and told these people were bad that we should have nothing to do with them if we wanted to go anyway we were forbidden every day it was mental and physical mistreatment and we're only realizing this now we were forced to do things we wouldn't normally do because we were threatened that was our life the worse the treatment the more you felt this person was important to you every day with this man was a fight for survival and a fight to preserve yourself what makes this more troubling is that the lives of these men as well as. being. as part of an experiment. rated psychologist tell me even after his death in 2010 was regarded as they found. he was in effect a little more than

a match maker putting neglected children into the care of predators. we learned about this experiment called in 2017 my thought was this can't be true i was not a mere product of chance i was deliberately selected by the berlin branch of the s.p.d. party the ruling party at the time that hired a mercenary to destroy our lives in an experiment when we heard about it we felt. and what particularly bothers us is that the names of those responsible are missing but there must be a further investigation in my opinion this is one of the greatest crimes of the post-war era the fact that it was really an experiment is shameful and very humiliating it was tolerated for decades no one ever came along and asked how we were doing life with our foster father was going nobody ever came over to check. those responsible are still sitting in offices or enjoying their pensions they're

trying to hide behind a statute of limitations to torpedo another investigation is shameful that the perpetrator the organization is hiding behind legal quibbles to avoid shedding light on it this criminal organization should not be behind the investigation the care system in germany has changed dramatically since scandalous time when it comes to who can act as a foster parent the authors of a study into the kempler experiment of told r.t. that there is no way his crimes were carried out without the welfare office being directly involved in germany of course to care is the responsibility of the youth welfare offices still children and adolescents who leave and forced to homes always grow up on just 8 observation the things that occur in foster homes we examined could not have happened without the knowledge of officials in the u.k. welfare authorities there has never been this state investigation into the actions

of templar and his experiment in senators told us they are pushing for a nationwide examination to look at the real scale of the abuse since we have nationwide connections further research going to the bill in the dead only to berlin the center for education youth and family has said that she wants to submit an application to the conference of ministers to deal with sexual violence and foster homes the victims of abuse say the knowledge of the girl in government it makes them accomplices in the crimes and in moscow of pushing for legal action today after having been failed by the authorities. the berlin senate is 100 percent involved the bird in senate initiated it and then tolerated it it's already been admitted verbal eep but not legally from the very beginning the only thing that mattered to them was how to keep the problem small then criminal charges were put forward. we file charges in the senate kept in touch with us since then there's

been no contact with the senate it's impossible to build up such an organization on this scale without state help. we expect justice our lawyers have been destroyed we are on able to work and we have become aware that we are just a pile of misery we were put in this situation by the government deliberately it was not an accident as we saw it until now it is a matter of course that the senate will make amends the senate has offered as $10000.00 euros in return for us taking no further action against it the names of those responsible and the consequences for these people are still missing as long as it stays like that things are not over this is a particularly her ruling story of exploitation and failure to protect the state who is expressly directed to protect. elsewhere in europe the russian ambassador to britain has outright rejected claims by the british

government that moscow has been meddling again london has accused russia of trying to influence last year's election and of trying to steal information on the u.k.'s coronavirus vaccine. that the russian intelligence agencies have been targeting in terms of cyber attacks against efforts across those 3 countries and here in the u.k. our attempts to find a fancy through research and development for credit cards we do not have information about who may have hacked into pharmaceutical companies and research centers in great britain we can say one thing russia has nothing at all to do with these attempts u.s. and canadian security services backed britain's claims they say russian hacking group targeted various organizations trying to develop a vaccine well we asked people in london about this perceived threat from russia. i don't think it's productive to play her shrink from trials offering these fingal destroy. a smokescreen you know just to um you know distract us from what's really

going on sounds like that's pretty good evidence that it was from russian hackers so yeah it doesn't surprise me there's a lot of stuff going on about. should. feel like shit i'd rather be blaming cummings before i blame the us these are things that got me a puritan is trying to destabilize the west and serve. to make things. more. conducive for russian interests to make about russia and in the end it's like this kind of like nafta from us like a red sky kind of thing like. that we think that's kind of complex and it's very easy to point the finger isn't it is an old saying africa when you point the finger take a look see how many fingers are pointing back and. we also got reaction to the allegations from a full up british politician on the lists and intelligence stuff. well here we go again highly likely of course sart turn of days are long gone when the

public believed highly likely claims by british government ministers or mr starr's any well the public demands are of a higher standard of growth than that nowadays or do they mean by russian is this president putin again sitting on radio was it doing our job here most of the national service. if the hard evidence wouldn't we to publish it if they're caught when what they mean by russian actor to surely must mean russian security forces if they had evidence that russian security gooses were guilty of into being in the u.k. general election you'd not be pussyfooting around to release that information that would be headline news in every news outlet in this country and across the globe seized on by the americans and the be leaky. do men when the story

broke as well last year and it was called a leak it wasn't called a hack so it was something coming out of government while the raw data from the some explorers at the tour agency so i think it's interesting that now bring us up to take a head of the publication of screen interest russia and the reports that. china filed this week to strike back against the us after president trump canceled hong kong's special trade status and approved sanctions on those involved in a new security. the u.s. side's attempts to obstruct the implementation of hong kong security law will never succeed in order to save guard its own interests china will make the necessary sponsor and impose sanctions on the u.s. personnel and. relations between the 2 countries have been souring for some time with territorial and trade disputes and the impact from what trump has consistently

product of course the chinese you mark asked have had all the details it is what trump threatened to do should beijing introduce these new security laws in hong kong and what they are is basically a restriction on with the criticism of the chinese government in hong kong for example it outlaws any calls for independence the session from china for hong kong as well as outlawing bye-bye life in prison you know mingling with the wrong crowds or being on the payroll of foreign entities who want to see chinese authority in hong kong diminish and in this case trump trump has said that since the freedom in hong kong has been extinguished there's no reason to give it special privileges on car and will now be treated the same as male in journey no special privileges or special economic trade print no export of sensitive technologies there's

a whole host of sanctions that are going to be introduced against hong kong and chinese officials deemed responsible for introducing these new security bill there's a whole list of grievances that trump has towards china towards hong kong and it just keeps growing steadily but quickly there is for example the whole mess in the south china sea all the territorial claims that china has made there that the united states has condemned that is turning into a military conflict there's also the issue of china refusing to join. in any arms control treaties that the united states wants them to be a part of this the huge trade surplus something that trump is hated from the get do so and of course i would say the most painful for an interim site the crew in a virus pandemic big no mistake we hold china fully responsible for concealing the virus and unleashing it upon the world could have stopped it they should have stopped it. it would have been very easy to do it the source would have put tried

and want to sell something to europe to america there's all sorts of restrictions and all sorts of tariffs all kong was a little liberal window that belonged to china through which the chinese government to chinese companies could sell things to the west all buy things like sensitive technologies relatively simply with minimal tariffs now that's god there are more than a 1000 western companies that are based have offices in hong kong he's willing to through even his room under the bus to make china hurt for all the talk of free markets and globalism they really seem to dislike competition because what you are way does is it makes 5 gtech for example amongst other things and it makes it cheap so how do you make people stop buying something that's cheap effective and make them turn expensive western analogs you do this by saying that chinese take is

somehow tainted from the end of this year telecoms operators must not buy any fighting equipment from huawei and once the telecoms critical is passed it will be illegal for them to do so the united states is going to do a lot of effort lot of effort in coercing and convincing its allies to dumb who are way which is a reputational glue for china you know this is this is it's brad this is a chinese brown and an economic blow and you know just just to add insult to injury trump has come out and said that what is happening who are way being kicked out of the united states out of europe is his achievement we convinced many countries many countries and i did this myself for the most work not to use while way. because we think it's an unsafe security risk it's a big security risk one thing you can say about the chinese. never rush the never

recklessly always wait it out it's like a characteristic so we can expect a response you have chinese press coming out and saying that action needs to be taken we need to assure them that we can't be bullied this easily so we can expect the response from china and now it's going to be a response on 2 fronts 1st what's happening in hong kong and what is happening to our way which is being the century removed from western markets by the united states. it's not just shift to close race for the white house and there are plenty of counted at the green party for example it's putting it spate that an antiwar. activist from new york.

is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the death. or inmate in the shallows. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

welcome back it's been more than 6 years since war erupted in eastern ukraine and despite a lack of media coverage these days it is still going on pro-government forces all still fighting rebels in the self-proclaimed republics of new gods undone yet people are still dying on the battlefield but as equal shot off now explains those killed aren't always ukrainian. a ukraine army soldier dies in combat is called married grabs a squad of brothers in arms and ventures out on a recovery mission. to have a little. too much and you can only refer them this video would become his last though and he key of rebel forces recovered the camera from the body of mccall in

after his life was ended by a landmine. and unfortunate death unlucky even he wasn't shot in combat he wasn't even a target he simply ran at the wrong time in the wrong direction and too fast in his own demise but well soldiers die it's just the gruesome nature of the ukrainian war zone the fighting between the state army and forces loyal to the self-proclaimed annette's can go ganske republics has been going on for years yet this death caught the gaze of the united states i want to express you know says deep sadness at the reporter killing yes to recreate in military medic would join the people have you created condemning the ongoing brutal aggression of russia that forces in the us and pay tribute to ukrainians killed and wounded fighting for their democracy well

pump aoe got it all wrong because ellen was and is still me and citizen not a ukrainian he was also a mercenary and had a badge weeding medic his commander straight up lied claiming that he and his squad had been dressed in white vests and helmets the footage from ellen's body can clearly shows they were indistinguishable from regular combatants here's a photo we got from the rebels it's black and white and even to a color blind person the vest of the medic here is not white again. this green on green chevron was the only medic designation discovered on the body alongside munition a k a rifle and a heap of grenades and according to a conversation allegedly found in his phone dylan didn't exactly come to ukraine to save lives he listened to me there is a herd of ukrainian pigs which need to be put in the stable they are degenerates

they do need a white master we will bring them to heal and then screw we we've got things to do blacks should be faced down it seems the only white thing about this medic was his racism but there could be more than simple lack of research behind compos condemnation of the killing the us secretary of state could be concerned of american guns for hire also fighting on the frontlines in ukraine in the same unit as the medic here is shown a proud texan an iraq war veteran and ill in squad mate who even used to be presumed dead by the forces until verse video. you'd be shown still alive here in surges 17th. shaun fuller from texas syria hardened damien gonzalez from new york just in from florida these are just some photos discovered on the phone of this stone ian ukraine's front line is apparently

guarded by the foreign legion 2.0 and the u.s. state department is known to do more than just track american mercs back in 2011 for instance its reach went so far beyond that it was on the verge of commanding a force made up of the likes of full and cole so no wonder really illinois death god on washington's raiders so quickly and stirred such concern not because he's a medic but because an american might be next the strategic goal of the us military industrial complex is simply to create trouble for russia they certainly do know in general scully all i'm quite sure their international connections to the people who are fighting in the. rich world known really fear that is quite possible 'd that people in the deep state in

the us will engineer provocations so the political leadership will then force to take decisions which they perhaps don't really well just don't really want to change and that's not all because in wasn't some stray soldier of fortune and hickey of fighters discovered official ukrainian army papers on him this story and was even eligible for benefits from the ukrainian government as a thank you for his service after all guns aren't hired for free and with american mercs officially enlisted in the ukrainian army the united states might expect some security guarantees from the commander in chief from self president lattimer's alinsky now it's not just him and his friends in washington who know about foreign guns doing ukraine's bidding in the war and both kiev and the us would want to keep ukraine's own little foreign legion and become of large. well following the death of the soldier equal mentioned

a local ukrainian prosecutor's office has opened an investigation into potential pre-meditated the country's foreign minister has also promised the death will not go unnoticed by ukraine's international partners meanwhile the u.s. embassy in ukraine has responded by condemning quote the continuous brutal aggression by russian led forces in the dawn. video of march this week although not the u.s. police officer me laying on the neck of amman while trying to restrain him an investigation is now underway in pennsylvania where the incident took place just like the killing of george floyd this was a video that immediately sparked protests. we don't murder broke. the law he's amazing his. police also came under attack in new york this week 3 officers including a police chief was seriously injured of brooklyn bridge during

a march against rising gun crime violence erupted when the county testers appeared and dozens were arrested. while retired police captain raid newest affairs officers are being portrayed as the enemy of the people. there are obviously much more concern nowadays with being attacked due to the actions of other officers because there's such a thing called the halo effect and that is now every officer is being asserted on a brutal and an enemy of the minority population the fact is these officers were trying to hold on necessarily what disappointed me with this

is none of the other protestors even pushed this guy away to come to the ground took his weapon you want to win over her. empathy for your movement. do the right thing justice is for everybody the solution to violent protests is to confront the reason you have violent protests confront the economic disparities can confront the job lack of job opportunity to confront the lack of education for blind people these are the so used that go into these protest. time finally joe biden will attempt of course on seat donald trump from his throne in november but while the great rivals are the only 2 that make the headlines they aren't the only ones with their eyes on the oval office thought party candidates and a dependent of course running to run the green party has chosen its nominee howie

holkins from new york is a former lorry driver and grassroots campaign or he has previously run for office at every level of government to new york from city council to gov holkins wants to boost education and extend health care to all americans he's also known for his antiwar anti nucular efforts the green party has been fielding candidates in presidential elections since 1960 has things currently stand your consignee a peasant ballot. and hoff of the country's state spot the party is still hoping for more it's a complicated process though with each state having different roles to get on the ballot but perhaps the biggest challenge is getting out time wilkens told autumn this week though that is a growing up tight for electoral automata most. polls show that about 2 thirds of the american people would like to see another major party an alternative to the 2 major parties that we have now and

a lot of those people have come to the green party 3rd parties in this country going back to the 18th thirty's a set the agenda it was a liberty party that put the question of slavery on about it was a populist areason question of monopolies on the public agenda it was the socialist party that put social insurance programs like social security the most popular programs out into the public debate so we made our way in the white house we're definitely going to move the debate the green party represents a very different policies we're not you know just democrats who are disgruntled or something we do want a universal medical system medicare for all we do want serious climate action we stand against the u.s. going into countries and tell them who their leader should be we're for peace initiatives big cuts in military spending and getting serious about this new nuclear arms race the green party's presidential nominee back in 2016 proved to be a polarizing a fake us many in the media kids jill stein of splitting up the liberal vote and so

actually harming hillary clinton's campaign. tonight the dangers of a 3rd party candidate democratic year and frustration is growing some seen here is that the votes belong to hillary clinton and that that my votes were stolen from someone else and i think that's an insult to american voters what do you say to those voters who are would worry that by voting for you their progress is their liberals or democrats that by voting for you they would actually help like donald trump his politics of fair actually delivered everything that we were afraid of so the 2 parties form what sounds like a government commission it's called commission on presidential debates in fact it's a private corporation they jointly control taken it is designed to keep their betters offstage and you know our appeal to the news organizations of the civic organizations is don't let the 2 parties set the agenda do your job open up the debate american people deserve to know what all their options are that's all from

me for today nick hour and we'll be here at the top of the hour with your latest play please update situation how that. problem drugs don't always come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies to in every state in the united states we've seen the a very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids and invented america under the banner of medicine persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she just goes after dose after dose after dose and really became his drug dealer so who's to blame patients doctors manufacturers all the governments.
