9:02 am
our ts, peter oliver in berlin. peter so far we don't know whether this was a deliberate act or an accident. what can you tell us at this stage? yes, we're piecing together information at the moment and the authorities have been very keen to avoid any speculation as to what was behind this incident. it is an incident though that has left at least 2 people dead in the southwestern city of tria, as at least 15 have been injured. that's according to the mayor of the city were from this is after a car, a described as a black s.u.v. drove at high speeds through a pedestrian ice dariya in the center of the city, very popular area shopping district. and also next to the famous historical monument of the port and the roman ruins that are there. we still have no explanation as to why this had happened. we've heard that an arrest has been made
9:03 am
and a vehicle has been seized. eyewitnesses are reporting seeing the car traveling at speeds of in excess of 70 kilometers an hour describing it as being a black range rover a.c.v. . moving through the pedestrian ised area in hitting pedestrians hitting people on the streets. it would seem that from some of these eyewitness reports, there may be a number of children involved, or at least caught up in those that have been injured. in this attack now we've heard from the police, the chief of police force's press department, conses been speaking. he said that he was unable to add anything. at this time regards a motive. we are expecting a press conference to take place very soon. we also understand that little over an hour ago, this is how recently this happened. a report went out to a warning went out to schools in the area that this particular vehicle was perhaps
9:04 am
said to pose a danger. so this is very much a developing story. we're expecting to hear more from the authorities as it happens, but while it stands at the moment, a s.u.v. has rammed through a pedestrian area in the southwestern german city of tria, killing 2 people, leaving at least 15 dead. the driver of that vehicle is in police custody. we're waiting for more information as to as and when it comes out. artie's peter, overstaying across this tragic incident for us. of course, we'll be bringing you more on that as information does come in and investigative news website is claiming to have been blacklisted by british intelligence, declassified u.k. is known for exposing military activities and also covert surveillance operations targeting schools. artie's alley has story sensually the website, the classifier, the u.k. and their head of investigations. matt ken are these
9:05 am
a form of financial times. journalists, they've been blacklisted by g. c, h q, internal memos and emails showing that officials essentially telling their staff and telling their teams not to engage at all with the outlet declassified. you can't be blacklisted by g.c. age, killed britain's largest intelligence agency, internal e-mails from shell, which will not been gauging further with math canada declassified head of investigations. the day he published what the agency privately disparaged as a negative long read about its secretive schools program. according to declassified, u.k. one particular line of investigative journalism is what got the backs up of g.c.a. 2. in particular, a program run by the intelligence agency looking into going into schools and teaching children how to conspire, brute force cyber attacks. and that line of investigations showing that you were
9:06 am
going into schools up and down the country, getting access to children as young as 4 years old. and the website have also got quite a long history of looking at other aspects of the things that britain's military and government in general are getting up to. do you remember the question is assumed to refer to lifton and colonel moore and our bodies who completed tofu conversion training in the u.k. delivered by royal air force or e of personnel in 2011 to 2012. we've been hearing from that is groups like reporters without borders who have described this mode of operating by,
9:07 am
by the government as being trompe and this is yet another worrying example of the duke. a government imposing arbitrary restrictions on media deemed to be critical to trump in moved. it has no place in british democracy for a few years. our, there have been criticisms that press freedoms are being clamped down on in the british government. so as far as this latest incident is concerned, it doesn't bode well for those who are concerned about press freedoms and the ban and journalists, martin summers believes the blacklisting of declassified u.k. has worrying implications for press freedom. in theory, british government departments in britain should, according to the freedom of information act, be willing to share, you know, non-secret information, all on a totally open basis. we were, wants to find out about it if you're going to ruin the schools program. and that should be in the public domain, no doubt, but taxpayer dollars. all those are being spent on it. so you know, it's a,
9:08 am
it's an open program presumably. and therefore, why shouldn't people investigate it and find out what's going on that. and of course, one of the main things that the class 4 juco concerned about is that they were basically pushing the commercial interests of the companies like to be a system. a landmark court decision sees an australian child from parents after they refuse requests for a gender change. a couple are appealing and say they're being bullied into granting consent. the authorities say we will not allow her to change gender, so it's dangerous for her to come back to our house because we will mentally abuse her. they want us to consent to testosterone treatment. the child who cannot be named for legal reasons was born female, but at 15 told family members about wanting to become a boy. when the parents refused the child contemplated suicide, an online post and was seized from home by protection services. it's not the only
9:09 am
case when parents clash with authorities on gender dysphoria a mismatch between people, sex just fine at birth and their gender identification. earlier this year, another australian child was allowed feminization treatment despite the mother's opposition. previous rulings have left the final decision to parents. michael taylor discussed the issue with our guests. take a child at their most vulnerable age and you take them out of what is secure. we all know that teenagers make irrational mistakes. that's part of being a teenager. so to rip, that authority away from parents is often the worst mistake that the courts can do . well, does. the xcuse says, instant we still of, from the assumption that somebody who seems to themselves is being transgender is somehow making the mistake that they don't understand their own minds. that the not capable of making a rush. you informed decision, not particularly somebody 15 or 16 to be incapable of making
9:10 am
an informed, rational decision. the parents of the child say that they're being bullied into consenting to, to start treatment in your opinion. is that any justification for putting such pressure on the needle garden's on the family? not only are the parents being bullied, but their rights are literally being stripped away from them by the government in this instance. and in australia to say that a child who's 12 years old has decided that they want to identify a certain way and that the parents are now going to be forced to allow this child to have or move their r.p. . i mean, it literally slaps in the face of what the purpose of a parent actually is. when you consider the science, the real science. we know, and that is sometimes these decisions people can regret later in life. let the child wait until he's an adult to make a decision that may affect his health has her health for the rest of their life. if they're just waiting a few years,
9:11 am
the parents should be the ones who have lovingly walk them through this. not a doctor, not a court. no one should trump the authority of a parent in this situation. in certain parts of the wales and scotland, 16 year olds can vote, they can make a decision tree. they can be members of the armed forces. they can pay turks and they can marry with parental consent if we're to learn now as a society 16 year olds to make those very mature positions. in my opinion. then as absolute, you know, really just to take this old fashioned view that children on some of the shuttles a little more. the flock to the answer is most people who churns ition transition successfully. this for the parents should be the divina foti just because they gave birth to their channel to say, my opinion, don't you see the misconceived? when a child says to their parents, i believe that i'm a girl,
9:12 am
even if that child is 8 years old and they're physically a male. the, the current prevailing practice is to allow that child to determine what they want to do going forward to say anything different is considered abuse. but mission of abuse is being conflated and being very hard used in a way that's harmful to actual children who are being abused. these are things that a 12 year old in a 13 year old don't have the capacity to understand and longstanding implications of in. so how do we provide a way out for children who are suffering from gender dysphoria? what should happen if there's a conflict with parents starting to fall on the parents to make the best most loving decision for their families? there are 2 things going against children and their situations. one is if there were from the loving arms of their parents and to if they were forced to make a decision to leave young that they might regret the suicide rates are astonishingly higher for children that make these decisions. decisions the younger they are when they make these decisions, the more the high,
9:13 am
the suicide rate is for them later in life, once they've transitioned. so we need to be very careful about these children being exploited for political reasons. iran is vowing to hunt down those behind the assassination of its leading nuclear physicist. top officials issued a stern warning after the scientists funeral. you don't run as stated before. it is definite policy independently. give a reciprocal response to those who ordered and committed this crime with maximum pain for the culprits. and god willing no crime, no association, and no foolish should not be left by the ring and nation. we will certainly hone down criminals until the end. they must know that they will be punished for their actions. this all took place on friday when most unfair was traveling in a car near to run. he was shot in an ambush and died of his injuries in the hospital. in immediately brand of the attack, an act of state terror also saying it would continue what it called,
9:14 am
the scientists peaceful research. and far from stopping tara, the murder appears to have only angered its leaders in the hawkins reports. dr. morsi in factory's are you was different things to different people, to his family, a husband and a father to his country, a patriot, a prized and respected scientists to others. though he was a threat, a man affectively in charge of iran's alleged nuclear weapons program. we don't exactly know what motivated the killing, but if it had anything to do with removing a supposed threat in the interests of peace and stability, the result so far seems to be the reverse of the streets of boiling over with anger. well fuck resort. it was given a state funeral and granted martyr status. iran is out for revenge. some hardliners are calling for direct, massive retaliation against those who they think are responsible. even the strikes
9:15 am
on israeli cities are on the table. life for an eye says god's law and to ron is in no mood to let this crime go unpunished. and images of around i have to know that the rainy nation and the country's officials are brave enough to respond to this criminal action when the term is raid the relevant officials in which part of this crime. but this is now bigger than just tit for tat violence. it was in iran's alleged nuclear program. was the goal that's failed. there are this government has vowed to continue this. scientists work with redoubled efforts should we will be more united will be more determined even for the continuation of your post. we will carry on with more power and the nuclear deal already in tatters after the us withdrawal is quickly fading. as the country's parliament looks to stop inspections at its nuclear sites, with the consent of m.p.'s to urgent action plans were adopted to lift sanctions in
9:16 am
order to return to the era of the nuclear energy boom. and to stop surveillance by i.a.e.a. spies with biden's incoming administration aiming for a new deal with to run it looking like they could get no deal at all by them. we'll have to put it in simple terms, apologize in some ways and he will have to come up for haps, with even more of a diplomatic concert than simply restoring the agreement. i think iran will need far more guarantees after all, even when president obama signed the deal not on sanctions were removed. and iran never a quite benefit economically as hoped. and why would be erroneous? choose compromise in a rare moment of unity. they now have the support of everyone from turkey and iraq,
9:17 am
to the u.a.e. and even europe. we condemn this heinous murder and extend our condolences to the government of iran and the family of the deceased. the emirates condemns the crime of the assassination of cause and also rights to practice the greatest possible restraint. so as to avoid dragging the region to new levels of instability and threats to peace. this is a criminal act and runs counter to the principle of respect for human rights. the e.u. stands for, for every action equal and opposite reaction. it was clear assassinating a scientist on a rainy in the soil would start up a hornet's nest of reaction across the region. and beyond still had it's revealed a huge hollywood charity to help sexual harassment victims spend just a fraction of donations, helping the victims themselves, as among our stories after the short break.

you then. welcome back. russia's delegation to the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons has urged germany and other members to stop using the body for political purposes. the imbruglia campaign of the so-called poisoning of a russian blogger and in suing actions by germany and its your allies in the o.p.c. . w. is a way to use this international organization to exert political and sanctions pressure on the russian federation. on monday, 56 of the 193 member states condemned the alleged poisoning of russian opposition
9:20 am
figurehead alex in a volley. they released a joint statement urging moscow to disclose the circumstances of what they called a chemical attack. the ball. they fell ill in august on a domestic flight in russia and was taken to berlin for treatment. germany claims that found traces of a no a choke nerve agent in his body an allegation that later repeated by the o.p.c. w. . however, moscow says its own tests are no such substance and that berlin has rejected requests for sharing data. we spoke with alexander shogun, russia's permanent representative to the o.p.c. w. he thinks the claims against russia have a clear political motive to what we're seeing today is deja vu 2 years ago. the british persuaded the e.u. and other countries to expel russian diplomats allegedly in retaliation for the poisoning of the script. nevertheless, in recent years with the e.u. policy towards russia has largely determined small countries by a noisy minority of states that declare themselves front line countries playing
9:21 am
along with and to russian sentiments. the germans drag themselves in. what's behind this, an attempt to smear russia or to present it as a violator of the world order existing in the imagination of western countries to introduce new sanctions against the russian federation. individual states interpret the provisions of the chemical convention as they please. we encourage delegations to be able to hear each other and sure, mutual respect, we must stop trying to impose our own new rules is to the approved norms of international law. there's been embarrassment. 4 times op ed, a sexual harassment charity set up by hollywood celebrities with massive publicity . after it was revealed, it spent just 10 percent of donations on actually helping women and its 1st year of operation tax filings show. the group raised more than $3500000.00 in 2018. but almost half went on salaries alone with huge sums also spent on luxury resort conferences. in fact, just 312000 dollars went to the victims of sexual harassment. r.j.
9:22 am
received this response from the organization. our turn to 18 expenses were mostly related to our start up costs, such as legal costs and recruiting. start of that would establish initiatives that would be launched in 2019 times up was formed in the wake of the scandal over harvey weinstein. a former top hollywood producer, found guilty of sexual assault, a foundation itself claims it's gone on to help thousands of victims, including committing millions of dollars and legal and p.r. support, lawyer things new rules are needed for such nonprofit organizations. i would say this really is not a good bottle for a nonprofit organization. 5 this is what i would call in a discipline profit and basically lost their way. and really what their true mission was, and it seemed like the nonprofit was sort of using the organization as a slush fund. the golden rule for not profits is that 75 percent of its funding
9:23 am
really should go to its mission. ma 25 percent go to goes toward the administration . but here, 38 percent went to salaries and with the c.e.o. should have done was to see this imbalance and actually take a pay cut. here's what happens with nonprofit organizations as there are, they're very sort of like self regulate. i think the best thing that a nonprofit actually can do is put their taxes like right on their web site for the public to see. and also, i mean, i think for these sort of large nonprofit organizations that you know, get a lot of media attention. you know, what they really should do is put sort of mechanisms in place where, you know, you have like an independent board. you have an independent auditor, you put controls, internal controls in place. a bar in new york's taken a defiant approach against the lockdown declaring itself an autonomous zone exempt
9:24 am
from authorities restrictions on public dining give me something that i can generate. i can have where i could just pay my rent and my utilities, so i don't have to shut down. so i'm not totally in the red where i have to walk to make up or say no to me. you know, i'm sure they can find money to do that. we're going to live what their lives are you supposed to, you know, run a business and everything like, you know, we've got to fight. but if it was normal, that these people expect people to do it on need to go to the holidays. you know, you've got to see that fans are going to part of the song here. how you feel about it, or feel a lot of i don't think it's going to work. or to go for interesting delving
9:25 am

this is a boom bust the one business show you can't afford to miss. i'm going to washington coming out the door and i became the latest biotech company to submit an emergency use authorization application for the food and drug administration. data showed the vaccine is 94 percent effective on monday. u.s. stocks closing out a record setting month though, we will we see a rally in the summer, or in fact, another pullback. we have an expert panel standing by have a lot to get into. let's get started. the united states is facing a possible surge in coven 1000 cases. after a busy week of travel surrounding thanksgiving, many health officials fear that infection numbers may see a sharp rise, as was the case in canada just a few weeks ago when the country celebrated the same holiday welfare's around
9:30 am
growing infections come just as a number of vaccine candidates get closer or to federal prison, artie's alex, one hell of a child's story. as thousands of americans took to the sky, this thanksgiving travel season was like no other. it's still a little scary, but you know, we've tried it sanitize a lot like use hand sanitizer as much as we can. and we just keep our masks on pretty much the whole time. even with the 2nd wave of the corona virus in full swing, more people jumped on board planes than any other day since mid march. according to the t.s.a. 1170000, people traveled by air in the u.s. on sunday alone. last, a flyers but a big drop from the same day in 2019 when 2900000 people were screened by the t.s.a. . the reason many chose to stay put the states giving is obvious. namely, the coronavirus pandemic. u.s. officials warned against travel over the holiday. this after seeing a dramatic jump in covert 1000 cases north of the border in canada. canadian
