12:30 pm
sat. there allowed to do this. i mean 67 years you know they've been locked up in a cage outside you see no protection from the weather the heat you know the cold air the rain the snow the thunder nothing they have no protection yet sure as we take the dog just wants to keisha. just you know wants the affection. to get you. know it's ok.
12:31 pm
mom and dad will probably live their entire lives on that facility in a pin whether it's smaller or a larger size but they're not themselves hence they are breeding stock they they typically don't come in the house and snuggle on the couch. they have no idea what life is is about because they spend 247 in a cage when you came into one of these puppy mills you would just see one on top of another in these little chicken wire crates. you know how cramped it is when you're when you're flying and i was thinking about and i thought it must be like that for the puppy dogs that are in these cages being able to get up and move around and i think that's the. the 740 seven's comedy 400 people and i thought it's just like
12:32 pm
taking 400 golden traverse or labs or shepherds and putting them in a scene strapping them in and making them live there for 8 years you will typically smell the facility before you actually walk near the cages and as soon as you can see the cages. i know it's going to be a bad situation when you have the above ground wire bottom cage see because that sort of tells us that the person is trying to be very efficient. this is a business people are not for profit for an initial outlay of a couple $100.00 for a few breeding pairs you can be selling puppies for a $1000.00 or more apiece if you breed every heat cycle which is not what you're supposed to do but which many millers do you could be making tens of thousands of dollars within a couple of years they were housed in chicken coops that one dog group of so
12:33 pm
there's probably more dogs and chicken coops no days of neurologic. they make money on dogs being born. they rarely see of that. that's are expensive and expensive and that would cut into their profits as far as selling the dogs. it's not good it's really not a good place for going to. night that i owe is on the internet and some house and they came over me and said i want a puppy so i googled puppies. on my. to do. every person called me to set up
12:34 pm
a day in time what time the dog would be arriving and he said you know i would like cash upon arrival not a check and that was fine so he would 1st wanted me to meet him at a rest stop off the new jersey turnpike. i just cut him off right there like that was not i'm not end up on dateline and this is not happening. i know i know something's are right and that was one of them. i'm not a nervous person i'm not scared of many things but i was nervous as many children were inside and this guy was delivering a puppy 11 o'clock at night in a van that reeked of cigarette smoke i said this is a street my house and i want to have a real address so he said that's fine i'll call you on the street mr i run it o'clock east call and said he was running late and he showed up at 11 so it was very fast he called he was out front i ran outside on the street and he got opened his it was a van he opened his van and there was all crates of dogs puppies in the back and he picked out rufus and he said here's your dog.
12:35 pm
2 pieces of paper came with the dog that they looked like i could have printed off the computer but that's i didn't know any better so i just assumed it was fine. i brought the dog in and it was late so i just put him every play with him for a little bit but he was super tired and he just looked like he wanted to go to sleep so put his bed in his crate and cry it was really weird because when i had puppies before they cried in a crate the 1st time he didn't make a sound that was like this the best dog every doesn't make noises perfect baby and look up to a dog that was basically having seizures going to the bathroom and throwing up either is going to die. in it that i you know is it's only 24 hours but you buy that is a person you just feel super bad for it's a baby in you just want to help it. he starts making this horrific sound like he's yelping in pain out of nowhere like just laying down. making this terrible sound
12:36 pm
off and on and i said this isn't normal and then he threw up and had diarrhea and i said i'm going to take him to our family that i'm thinking that i can't believe that somebody was and this dog here that sec and this is all the money that we're going to spend and this is crazy because i had no idea what to expect as they said they could stay there for days to get better and i was just i was worried about the money i was wary about the dog of the same time after spending 2 days at north star parents being treated for hypoglycemia rufus was able to return home at the initial examination the veterinarian the care for rufus certified he was unfit for purchase rufus's cross-country journey began in miller's berg ohio on a farm owned by most troyer this is how i am after i buy the dog after he is delivered then i start googling most rare then is when i start and then i was like what is wrong with you why wouldn't i really that's how naïve i was i thought it was going to be perfect and then then i start googling and i hindsight was like i
12:37 pm
need to find out where these parents are like i was disgusted less than 2 weeks before nicole purchased rufus on line tours the u.s.d.a. license was cancelled currently no u.s.d.a. or state commercial license is issued for this address i've got like giving up a couple times a i said no one's call me back this is so frustrating but then i kept thinking it wasn't about the money it was the fact that this was a life that no one cared about. they are just like oh take the puppy that was 6 weeks old 5 weeks old away from its mom and just shove it in a van with creeps stirrer and then called a day like no one cared. of state highway $53.00 in the middle of ohio this is a puppy mill not unlike the one that rufus was likely born and it's where his parents will remain until they're unable to produce the puppies in profits expected
12:38 pm
by the owner there's no natural light no human contact except for the red pickup that stops by want today to scatter food and fill water bowls unregulated and under the radar. was. often we find that on the east coast that many of the puppies are coming from what we call ground 0 for large scale volume bring puppy mill bring and that's holmes county and it is really the heartbeat of where a lot of the puppy mills and a lot of the issues have started in the state of ohio when you consider that they have 43000 population and you have over 500 canales that's a lot of camels for the number of people in that general area. and holmes county alone and 200720088 was a $9000000.00 business. now when you consider that the average
12:39 pm
family income for a family of 4 is probably less than $30000.00 in holmes county that's a considerable amount of on production that is coming out of that particular area in amish country. rufus his journey to new jersey is similar to the one thousands of puppies travel from holmes county ohio in the years since rufus arrived at nicole's house and the driver has made multiple journeys to the east coast delivering puppies sold on the internet from puppy mills throughout holmes county. there's times where we here where the puppy was actually transported by someone just like john public and they load him into a vehicle and so when the puppies arrive it's not unusual to have a vehicle full of puppies and some of those puppies are very sick and some won't make the trip whatsoever they just assumed ban puppy mills places they always meant
12:40 pm
like the mall the puppy store in the mall or the puppy stored inside the street i just never thought that it was like on the internet i really thought when i bought rufus that he was in pennsylvania running through a field happy night didn't think it was a puppy mill dog at all. pennsylvania farmers began breeding dogs probably about 30 or so years ago there were actually breeders in missouri who came up to pennsylvania specifically because of its large amish and mennonite farming communities here we had one of the worst states for puppy mills i we were called the puppy mill capital of the east and that was primarily because pennsylvania's number one industry is agriculture. in the minutes are more likely to view these animals as cash crops as agricultural products we've heard that over and over again and i believe that to be true. not
12:41 pm
all families or not all men in white families breed dogs but the large majority the overwhelming majority of the people that we deal with the breeders are from illinois it was something that farm families could do between when you harvest in the fall and when you planned the spring. as commercial kennels cropped up across pennsylvania in the late 1960 s. the welfare of the dogs trapped in puppy mills was not viewed as a priority of the pennsylvania department of agriculture inspections were few and far between the regulations were ill defined and the program was clearly underfunded so the regulators were completely tied by the laws and just the the van ness of all of them so what we really needed was in forcible measurable standards you would see inspection reports time and time again where a warden is
12:42 pm
a morning operator to do something. and this didn't go on for like one or 2 inspections in a year's time talking about years and years of warnings for many of the same offenses there was so much opposition from within the industry itself that the regulations were just going nowhere. or and it became very apparent that we had to do a legislative fix. l. look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. i robot must obey the orders given by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the 1st law show your identification for should be very careful about artificial intelligence and the point of view screen is to trace trusts every other than sheer. conflates on various chozen with artificial intelligence will summon
12:43 pm
the demon. the robot must protect its own existence which exists. with. a short term ago an american airplane. hiroshima. standing up kind any. one to doing that chin it's. i like most americans growing up after the war the bombs were a great thing they ended the war they say hundreds of thousands of lives on both sides and that's what my grandfather always said was his reason for the decision. truman was hoping for a dual strategy one was to drop the bombs and hope that japan would surrender and
12:44 pm
number 2 the americans were trying to send a message to the soviet union there was american poor planning in october 145 and had chosen 20 targets and russia. throughout the years efforts to improve the lives of dogs in pennsylvania puppy mills would ultimately die in the legislature at the hands of powerful lawmakers it was not until a simple billboard was put up in lancaster county that the general public began to learn of the problem our 1st billboard and we made it look like a postcard and we had a family in our car and they were all waving across the top and yellow script just like a postcard and said welcome to scenic lancaster county home to hundreds of puppy mills and we received over 3000 phone calls and e-mails in 2 days and the majority
12:45 pm
of those phone calls came from people who lived in lancaster county who were thanked us for finally doing something about what their neighbors were doing i think the issue gained a lot of traction through the media you know more reporting on the issue it became sort of something that was that was out front it was no longer confined to you know what happened behind the party doors after witnessing the overwhelming response to their billboards in pennsylvania main line animal rescue placed a new billboard this time near oprah winfrey studio in chicago when we were on oprah and the aftermath we watched up here in the kennel i realized that it really didn't matter what the legislators wanted or what they didn't want because people started contacting us and people were horrified horrified by what was happening in lancaster county it was happening in pennsylvania what was happening in missouri and oklahoma in nebraska and they couldn't believe that animals were being treated this way and they wanted to do something about it. this was 100 percent
12:46 pm
a public effort it was really because people were hearing about the plight of puppy mills on the news on oprah reading about it in their newspapers going home and looking at the faces of these little pooches that are sharing their you know tables and beds for most of us and saying oh my gosh what if that had been my dog and it became very very personal to a huge number of people who started picking up the phones and calling their alleged . slater's through this whole struggle and it was a struggle and it was hard it was very very difficult i never lost sight of the fact that the people have the power to change things and when the legislature realized that they did not want to go home in an election cycle and face the constituency wondering why didn't you do something about this the bill got legs and this was a 2 year long is like 2 to 3 year long legislative battle in pennsylvania many of the dogs that the law was was pushed through many of the law the dogs that we wanted to protect are now that so i'm hoping that it's the dogs the future dogs the
12:47 pm
dogs that are in these places in the future are helped by what we've done but most of the dogs the majority of the dogs that we wanted to help are gone now and they never got the relief that they deserved or that the law enforcement. only union boilermaker out of pittsburgh. despite every free town life i have is basically in their own work and and i'm working a 10 hour shift i'm working on saving dogs. everybody has their own little part and i think that was that was my call and you know go into the mills and that's what i want to get the dogs so i know there are a lot of jobs are covered in your and they're covering and they've got at least what i'd like to do is take them and hold them and pad on to say they're a bit touched a they you know ok so me i don't mind they got all over him because i want to separate dead were different you know you're leaving that life and i want their you
12:48 pm
know the rehab to start as soon as we take the dogs. and it's sad because you can't save all said it hurts i mean there's plenty of nights you stay up at night and you can sleep with a lot of rescues or you know deal with the puppy mill dogs know that i mean loosely you know it's costly running through your mind about the dog you left behind i don't know i went to the guys bringing the dogs out in there so many dogs inside the puppy mill that when the dog started barking when he went in to get the dogs the side of the barn was actually shaking. there's no force was good they suppose he this year and last year and kind of both pennsylvania and ohio made the laws better but they are they they passed the laws but no one's in force and. a lot of people think when you say rescue dogs from puppy mills i think we went in took the born down take the dogs but that's that's all we did because the because mills are legal now i think
12:49 pm
a lot of people don't understand that you know these puppy mills are legal they're allowed to explain to him how you know we wait for the amish to contact you know then we set up a day when we can go get the dogs and then we know will load up the. ours you know them will drive you know made on their property get the dogs. i mean. i don't know about. they said all that all that all they want is luggage so that's one way. the economy
12:50 pm
i mean. in my name is eugene deep as well and i'm the pennsylvania auditor general. we make sure all money is spent legally ineffectively but we also audit state programs so it's not just a question whether the financial side of it is the you know the the account ledgers are matching up but also what is the effectiveness of the program so we get to go in and say ok the money might have been spent legally but was it spent effectively it was a program run effectively while inspections and prosecutions dramatically increased after the pennsylvania dog law came into force within
12:51 pm
a few years noticeable concerns began to emerge i started to receive reports confidentially from within department reaching out to me dog wardens administrators people who had worked for the department and had left that are an area. who were concerned that the new head of the office of dog law had no idea what she was doing so reviewing inspection reports and in 2011. indicates that there were virtually no citations issued just like any other law it's only as good as the enforcement of it and early on in the law there were some concerns that it wasn't being enforced properly so and so the audit of the dog or program began. in a scathing report auditor general di pascali found the dog law program from its introduction in 2008 through 2012 showed an intentional lack of enforcement of the state's dog
12:52 pm
law and the commercial tennille canine health regulations. enforcing the law in the can mean the partner agriculture said this during the audit that they were enforcing it because they knew the kennels weren't complying is say that again they were enforcing it because they knew the kennels weren't complying but the goal of the law is to get people not to do it the goal of the dog was not to find camps it was to get kennels do improve the conditions in their facilities for for the animals that's the goal of the program and we were getting the troops ready to really make a huge deal out of the lack of enforcement of this berry popular law and all of a sudden there was a one in 80 of the department and they hired a director of enforcement who was one of the best dog wardens that we've ever seen but here is the the big big issue and it's not just this it's anything we do the people matter who are running the programs right now i think the administration made significant strides into who is running the program but the people that are
12:53 pm
actually running the program sometimes you get their faces bureaucrats to the general public and i understand that but the actual individual who's in charge matters and it's important governors where they began. mark radical republican you know i just put people in because of the considerations but also the qualifications of the individual but i do think that that is the case now that you are a top notch professional there and that i think is a big reason why you're starting to see a turnaround. while progress has been made the challenges of regulating and inspecting license to marshal breeders and finding unlicensed breeders in pennsylvania continues in the heart of lancaster county millwood kennel aka millwood puppies provides a prime example of the bureaucratic shell game played by some large scale breeders . david and iommi stalls fus have been breeding dogs on their property in lancaster
12:54 pm
county since the early 1990 s. having obtained both a pennsylvania license and a u.s.d.a. commercial breeders license from 2003 onward pennsylvania inspection reports clearly indicate dogs were suffering in a facility that was not meeting even minimal welfare standards after a further string of harangued us inspection reports in 2008 david still sfusd voluntarily relinquish both his pennsylvania and u.s.d.a. license but the dogs remained at the same puppy mill though the name was changed to millwood puppies and ownership passed to david's son matthew stalls food matthew quickly obtained a u.s.d.a. commercial breeders license at the same address. immediately the violations continued under the new license when millwood puppies was inspected in october 2009 the violations were so severe that the commonwealth of pennsylvania brought
12:55 pm
multiple charges against matthew for violations under the dog law. before pennsylvania district judge isaac stalls foose all charges against matthew were summarily withdrawn and all cases closed in 2010. at no time with the dogs removed from the facility by either state or federal authorities. around this time matthew found a new very lucrative avenue to sell his puppies the internet since 2010 it's estimated that matthew has sold over $3000.00 puppies online ranging from 302-2800 dollars each in 2013 alone millwood puppy sold 472 dogs more than a dog a day during this period matthew maintained a pennsylvania kennel license but in january 2014 he applied for a new u.s.d.a. commercial breeders license for millwood puppies l.l.c. this was the 3rd u.s.d.a.
12:56 pm
commercial breeders license and the 2nd pennsylvania license issued for this one address in the past 8 years i think one of the most remarkable things that we actually were able to illustrate on the oprah show that one of the dogs that we picked up from know what chemicals. it was either know what kind of timer millward was a yellow out a male yellow lab and i'll never forget he's a really beautiful dog but he had never been off water for some beautiful beautiful yellow and the amish breed are now if you stop astride the dog down the hill we put take the dog up and put a dog in the band we put the dog down on the solid floor and in the lobby he started to walk like he had never been here ever going to solve for anything and he started walking up a wall he tried to walk up the wall of our lobby because he had never been solid before and it's just amazing to me that they would expect an animal to live his or her entire life on painful wire flooring and they wouldn't do it themselves. matthew's large scale puppy breeding business was not his only interaction with the
12:57 pm
u.s.d.a. during the same time period he was receiving farm subsidies from the u.s.d.a. the total $56624.00 in commodity subsidies associated with. his dairy farm lancaster county pennsylvania has a total population of a little over 536000 residents from 1995 to 2012 farmers in the county have received 100 $28000000.00 in taxpayer funded farm subsidies from the u.s.d.a. . an extensive investigation for this film found numerous examples of u.s.d.a. license commercial breeders receiving multiple violations from the animal health the vision on one hand and large taxpayer funded farm subsidies on the other while the programs are viewed as distinct and separate by the u.s.d.a. the fact remains that license commercial breeders with multiple dog welfare violations continue to receive taxpayer funded farm subsidies in lancaster county
12:58 pm
and many other rural areas throughout the united states these commercial breeders are exploiting a federal agency by receiving a taxpayer funded handout while simultaneously receiving major violations for failing the dogs in their care. is jewelry d. a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. the isolation of the industry. you go in the right way or are you being.
12:59 pm
what is true what is right. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or i'm a little. shall i. go in.

1:03 pm
must die and all of a sudden we felt a boom everything turned over our hands i was at home in my bed watching t.v. when the window fell over on me the wardrobe also follower asked my daughter injured and she needs a surgery now. because it. cannot be me we were at home we heard the sound of the airplanes above our house well even the op of floor of the building we are destroying noise from airplanes and suddenly the song falls on us something explodes and everything falls with it. i was moving and it felt like an earthquake the looked around and we saw glass
1:04 pm
shattered everywhere we spoke to our correspondent in tel aviv paula slip but 1st we hear from journalist ulta fall not embarrass who has been to the site of the blast for us. well right now we're standing in martyrs square square that house long been a venue for many of the poor form that which happened take place 11 on the past couple months especially after lebanon was gripped with the worst economic crisis it has witnessed in the past 3 decades at least we know that the lebanese lira has lost at least 80 percent of its worth in the last 2 months alone right now in the marchers as you can see behind me demonstrators and activists are collecting donations for people whose homes have been ravaged by the explosion which rocked the capital city bagels yesterday you can see water bottles on the ground food stuff even blankets and clothes and everything that the 300000 now the that now 300000 homeless lebanese are could be in need of also you have
1:05 pm
a lot of pro-reform demonstrators who are once again demanding that the government take action and they are calling even on politicians in what have long been. you know part of the sectarian based power sharing system that has led law been on the brink of economic collapse they are calling on them there resigned and to leave they are 8 accusing them their negligence of being behind that explosion which struck the capital city yesterday we know that the 2750 tons of. ammonium nitrate that went off as well as other explosive material and the poor baby with yesterday the main cause up until this hour according to lebanese officials as negligence is that they were actually who are without any preventative or safety measures this is why you have over 100 people now. people killed this is why you have over 4000 lebanese injured and this is why you have over 100 others
1:06 pm
missing and the the 3000 is are still i think about the injuries are still adding up rescue teams are still digging through there of well they're still trying to find survivors and injured and now here you find that the. people have come together despite all that 19 despite the warnings from the government that this is going to you know we need to ask about the pandemic they don't care they're here where they're sold their soul they're due to those whose homes have been ravaged they're here to show their solidarity with the victims a with the families of the victims were the families of those who were martyred as well and they are also sending a lot of their message to the lebanese government that is for 4 months is not acceptable and they are calling all politicians who would just believe the country's prime minister has said that the cause of the explosion was 2000 $700.00 tons of ammonium nitrate that was stored in a way to house he said he would reveal facts soon about the way house but he wouldn't do so now because he did not want to preempt an official investigation that's under way now hospitals continue to report being in the state of chaos we
1:07 pm
know that they've been turning people away they've simply been unable to cope with the huge number of wounded and injured they are calling for blood donations and also for generators to keep the lights going all of this comes as the lebanese supreme defense council recommended declaring beirut a disaster stricken city and also calling for 2 weeks of national emergency the military has now taken control of the security on the streets we're also hearing that the lebanese government has made available 100000000000 lebanese pounds in emergency funding to assist those who have been affected the prime minister says that they will find that those or those responsible and bring them to book. i will not rest until we find the person responsible for what happened so we can hold them to account and impose the most severe punishment it is unacceptable as a shipment of 2750 tons of ammonium nitrate has been present for 6 years in a warehouse without any preventative measures now the lebanese government has asked
1:08 pm
for assistance there's a host of countries who have responded saying that they sending both humanitarian and or medical aid amongst them are turkey the united states the united kingdom qatar iran and france we are hearing from the american president donald trump who says that this looks like a terrible attack which is a statement that contradicts contradicts the official words that we hear coming from lebanese officials let me begin by sending america's deepest sympathies to the people of lebanon where reports indicate that many many people were killed and i met with some of our great generals and they just seem to feel that it was this was not a some kind of a manufacturing. explosion type of event this was a seems to be according to them they would know better than i would but they seem to think it was a attack it was
1:09 pm
a bomb of some kind years now and none of those countries who have been offering assistance are israel this is despite the fact that the 2 countries are technically at war we have heard from the country's foreign minister benny gantz saying that 3rd party mediators have been approached in israel has offered humanitarian assistance no word as of yet what has been of a sponsor from lebanon all of this comes as an emergency security cabinet meeting is due to be held in the lebanese capital this morning it comes as both israel and has been that deny any kind of involvement there has been speculation as to what caused the blast at this stage the official word from lebanon is let's wait until the investigation is concluded. we also spoke to industrial expert running to catch all for who is the managing director of all foot technologies and he gave some insights into the effects all of ammonium nitrate the chemical that's thought of course of the blast. the color of smoke that we see you know it's a very distinct it's a red orange in color and that is noticed i don't know journalists like
1:10 pm
knox's all thing or another that implies it was an expose it breaks and where it's all strong balance that we are making an explosive that your mix that may be revealed still to actually. get full decomposition and. that i really would not like her to go look science tells us that we didn't have not too it makes it so it wasn't an explosive when it went all it was just only records and logs is known to be. the chemical that is produced. cause such as diesel engines and that's what was going to be processed that was in there and because it is a highly polluting the environment. the grieving family is taking legal action after the father was dragged from his terminally ill daughter's bedside by police officers after the hospital decided to withdraw life support.
1:11 pm
this is the moment police dragged dr russian a bussy away from his daughter zainab side or take a shot it was dashed he spoke to the family. well it was incredibly harrowing speaking to both talk to russia bassy and his wife doctor earlier about assy not only did they lose their child in such a tragic way but they also had some awful dealings while in hospital as you can see in this footage they both experience a very heavy handedness of the police when dealing with them moments before this very incident they were just informed by doctors that their daughter zainab would now be taken off life support meaning that she would die now both dr russia bassy and his wife talked earlier bassy together have any chance experience company to over 30 years worth of experience and not only were they not treated like medical

maintain a safe and secure environment particularly where we are caring for very sick and vulnerable patients when it comes to the police the doctor rushed the passive at this very moment i asked them why and do that they were there trying to remove him and did they have an arrest warrant but they say that it was him that was becoming aggressive the. 58 year old was arrested on suspicion of breach of the peace he was subsequently also arrested on suspicion of assaulting police officers due to the nature of the incident it was necessary to detain the man and when he complained of feeling unwell he was taken for treatment as soon as was possible we can confirm that we have not received a complaint in relation to this incident we are however in the process of reviewing a civil claim so be inappropriate to comment any further to add insult to injury dr ali have bassy says that her family would not have been treated like this if not for the color of fescue in and i only know really yes if i named.

a legal battle of the laws found that hundreds of modern slavery survivors have been unlawfully stripped of financial support during lockdown one kenyan woman who had been trafficked to a british brothel was reportedly left unable to access basic essentials including a phone and legal services another example included a trafficking survivor who was forced into begging the government says victims of modern slavery are able to access a range of support if authorities deemed that all reasonable grounds those who are eligible receive safe and secure accommodation and a 35 pound or 65 pound weekly subsistence but lawyers warn that accommodation shortages mean that many were placed into hotels with asylum seekers and they claim the victims had to cash allowances because without warning. instead of increasing basic support for victims of trafficking during this pandemic the home secretary has unlawfully cut the basic subsistence payments made to them survivors of
1:21 pm
trafficking are entitle to disappoint and desperately needed to enable them to recover and escape from their traffickers despite anger from legal departments the home office says that cash allowances aren't necessary for modern slavery victims living in full board accommodation it claims that all basic essentials and utilities are being provided by the hotel's well to discuss this in more detail human rights lawyer shwed m. carnot joins me live now at schwab the home office says all essential oils are being provided in hotels so modern slavery survivors don't need a cash allowance is that justified. and obviously not time i think it's become clear now the legal cases that will not have already been brought by those that are still pending or victims who will be making such claims and it's obvious i mean firstly considering the situation there then they limit again the experiences that they've had the reason that there are in those accommodations in the 1st place it is obvious that the group that the government the home office needs to be providing
1:22 pm
them with extra care extra support to enable them to recover from their experiences but also on the basic necessities are not being met so obviously if you say you know you're out football there so basically you have place to live and you have food obviously that's not enough to actually live a life and even if they are in a hotel it is the home office is the government's responsibility to make sure that they receive basic facilities so if they don't have it and for instance money to be able to travel the phones how do they call their doctors how did their contract lawyers how did they contact. countenance i was in is how did they contact different friends and families obviously that is not possible and 2nd obviously i mean we say that they were tells the living it but obviously that is very very basic and boarding facilities that asylum seekers and these big chains are trafficking are accommodated in and so yes so you know it would have very basic but representatives there are very basic meals very basic accommodation but obviously much more than that is need it and i think that is why having even if it's just
1:23 pm
a few pounds you know it wasn't an exorbitant amount they were given in the 1st place so 30 pounds 60 pounds a month a week isn't really that much anyway so they need that just to be able to buy a really basic things for themselves you as a human rights lawyer what what is the legal position here that the government preside provides the money so presumably it can take it away if there's nothing illegal here is such. i mean no i mean i would say i mean obviously each case varies but i think it is it's not a matter of the government just being generous and saying you know fine we don't legally have to provide you with this but here's some money obviously that's not the case in any event but also i mean i think yes from a human rights from a legal point of view it is i was sick a breach of the human rights and if they're not able to live. a very basic decent standard of living you're not provided with one that is a breach of their human rights i mean they have might be affected their mental health might be affected there would be other consequences of their not having even a few arms and not being in their situation and many of them will not be allowed to
1:24 pm
work even if they have permission from the government they wouldn't be able to work because of this situation so the only support only source of income they would out is if the government gives them something and for them for the government to essentially withdraw the only source of income and obviously i mean it's mind boggling what being in these situations but it's and you know even at the best of times it's appalling that this is how these people are being treated who talk about these situations the coronavirus pandemic has been tough for everyone in the stark reality is that cuts are being made across the board affecting people in all walks of life. and yes i mean firstly i don't think that's necessarily true and anyway i mean obviously you know and the government has in fact provided additional supports of people who are generally sent from glory and who would generally not require or and need or when governments are or they're going to have to remain in addition an equal anyway and secondly even if the government is now. a few months later being forced to make cuts i really don't think that these most vulnerable are people

suffering from traumatic experiences suffering from mental problems and who have suffered a lot and are asked lives what about also what's with access to these people get in these very difficult times to the likes of you to human rights lawyers presumably access is very very hard and there's i mean that's i mean firstly that's not at the best of times specially the way this is going to actually decimeter legal aid anyway but secondly obviously with people being isolated people not me and travel phone or email is the only way that they can possibly approach a lawyer and as one of the reports suggested that some of these channels are actually charging you going full of life over internet use so if you're limiting the people's internet use they're not able to travel to lawyers and presumably they wouldn't have the money to travel in india and i'm not happy that they don't have the money to top up their phones and then i don't really see how they're able to access any legal facilities schwab and kong thank you for joining us live in r.t. . britain's former work and pensions secretary in

duncan smith has called for the scrapping of the withdrawal agreement claiming it denies britain true national independence the european commission has already rejected the call saying the commitments made in the agreement are reasonable and will stand in a twitter post in duncan smith said the e.u. what salmoni brussels wish is to stop britain being a competitor has come and sparked confusion online as many were quick to point out that duncan smith actually voted for the with broad agreement when it went through parliament last year others were keen to highlight that he once claimed that 3 days was enough time to debate it back in october the former pension sector expressed his complete support for the document in parliament. i am absolutely without question of a doubt going to support this tonight in both votes both in the 2nd reading vote and i believe massively importantly in the programme motion and there's
1:27 pm
a reason because we've had more than 100 hours in committee over the last 3 and a half years the reality is if there is anything about this arrangement that we have not now debated thrashed to death i would love to know what it is. an expert as to jones told me that one of the drawbacks of the british system is that it doesn't encourage proper scrutiny. you would have expected all m.p.'s to actually lose read the legislation they were voting on instead as what normally happens with so much legislation up parliamentary system is that the m.p.'s voted the way the party told them and most m.p.'s i suspect have not read the legislation so they could not tell you about how much money we're paying brussels the next 40 years or what the situation is going to be a republic of ireland on border so this is highlights one of the many problems with the whole political system what is your take on the situation in general will cope with 19 lead to know day a lot of so what's going to happen at the end of the year my suspicion is that it's going to lead to no deal now having said that boris johnson to give him his juice
1:28 pm
is phenomenally good at putting rats or rabbits out of hats yet there in the end at very short notice it may be that come november suddenly there's a magic date now what's going to be interesting is what is actually in it because it doesn't have to go back to parliament this deal is not going to be approved by poems or whatever boris johnson agrees he will then tell the public what his team of agree on behalf of the u.k. he would tell us it is the best possible get and we will not see the detail until after it comes into play so it may be that some sort of deal is called to get that but very my g.e. you've got a very comprehensive deal it may well be that becomes a stumbling block and that's before we start with things such as fishing and that's all the news from us for today our colleagues at r.t. america will take over from the top of the hour from all of us in westminster thanks for watching and goodbye.
