making an informed, rational decision. a very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at r t h q in moscow. thanks for joining us this hour. we start with germany where at least 4 people have been killed and a car ramming. a driver has been arrested after crashing into pedestrians at high speed in the western city of tree, or the fatalities include one child and more than a dozen other people are injured. are just there all over has story. on tuesday afternoon, a silver gray s.u.v. plowing through people out in a pedestrian area of the southwestern city of trivia, some absolute horror stories from eyewitnesses being recounted to local media, talk of a one kilometer long trail of destruction through this part of central tria.
11:02 am
we're hearing of people being thrown into the air after having been struck by an s.u.v. that was accelerating into crowds of people. there's even stories of a baby carriage being amongst those people that were thrown off after being struck by the by the car. the driver has been arrested. the main suspect is in custody and the only information it's being revealed about them so far is that they are a 51 year old german from the rhine, the trio area of the state of rhineland. nate, we've also heard from the mayor of tria, were from labor giving an emotional statement in which he was very visibly moved, visibly moved to tears. as he was recounting what he saw, including, he confirmed it seen the, the body of a child who'd been struck by this vehicle. he did say that there was no further
11:03 am
information as to why this, it took place. he said that it couldn't happen until this suspect is being questioned to try and get to the bottom of what the motive was, but said that there was a process. we've also heard this from police as well that there is a process of questioning the suspect before they will release any more information . the local government of the area of the state of rhineland pilapil age where tree is located, are on their way to to the city of tria, from the capital of the state. in mind, we're expecting a press conference at 7 pm local time months in or around 3 hours, where we're hoping to get more information. the only good news that we've had is the authorities at the scene have said that there is no further danger. as far as they're concerned, there is no threat of more potential incidents taking place. but an investigative news web site is claiming to have been blacklisted by british intelligence. declassified u.k.
11:04 am
is known for exposing military activities is alie has the details, the classifier, the u.k. and their head of investigations. matt cannot, he's a former financial times journalist. they've been blacklisted by g c, h q, and a number of internal e-mail showing that staff are being told not to engage with., that doubt, that declassified u.k. 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 bucks off of a program run by the intelligence agency. looking into going into schools and teaching children how to conspire and brute force cyber attack. the website have
11:05 am
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. the older members question is assumed to refer to lifton and colonel moore and our bodies who completed typhoon conversion. training in the u.k. delivered by royal air force, r e of personnel. in 2011 to 2012, we've been hearing from joe that it's groups like reporters without borders who have described this mode of operating by g, c, h, q, m, by the government as being trumpy. and this is yet another worrying example of the u.k. government,
11:06 am
imposing arbitrary restrictions on media deemed to be critical to trampy unmoved as her no place in british democracy for a few years. now, all the criticisms that press freedoms of 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. to discuss this story further, we're now joined live by journalist ivana. ridley declassified u.k. is saying it's been blacklisted by g c h q. do you think that really is the case and why would they be targeting this site? well, if it is the case, it's quite an astonishing one. and you know, britain as a country which likes to pride itself in freedom of speech and this goes completely against the grain quite why the c.h.p. was made. this decision is puzzling. age is
11:07 am
a journalist's job. to ask all could questions to be critical of the information haters, cvs, and g, c, h q. mr. know the repercussions that this will have, by blacklisting, particular organizations. you know, journalists don't do their jobs to be popular. quite the reverse. and you know, this, this move has already been likened to trippi in style decision. and of course, this is what we've seen in the white house that when journalists upset president donald trump, they get blacklisted or are asked to leave the, the white house, press corps, and for g, c, h q, to do this, to a journalistic organization. is astonishing. exactly,
11:08 am
and that was reporters without borders that called it a trumpy and move they went on to say that has no place in british democracy. do you find this move to be undemocratic? it's totally and i'm atrocity. and fortunately, because of the nature of g, c, h q, we're unlikely to find out who has made. this is astonishing decision. i hope it is reversed and that the had to meet here operations does what they buy. the british tax paid to do which is to assist the media with its inquiries, regardless of whether it's an online website, which causes them puts them into uncomfortable situations or whether it's part of the mainstream media. now, according to the website,
11:09 am
declassified u.k. d c h q has been running programs in schools targeting children in the 4 to 11 age bracket. why would such young children be of any interest to intelligence services? well, i would imagine because of the way technology is developing that such a fast pace, g, c, h q might be looking to recruit, rising talents of the future. it does sound rather sinister. and it's even more sinister when they suddenly get very prickly and very secretive over their schools program. we need as much transparency as, as possible, especially when it stealing with children of that age. nothing wrong with having scouts looking for rising talent. you know, all sorts of industries do that,
11:10 am
but to be secretive and protective, and rather tripoli about this program suggests that maybe there is something sinister going on. in fact, all the old g c, h q has now is shine a light on an area of its activities that we've all become very curious about so far. hiding the subject or already getting rid of a problem. they've created more problems. it's a very naïve move and it's the sort of move that you would associate with a tyrannical regime. not, not a, not a western democracy. journalists haven't really then you for finding the time to join us on the program today. another nears iran,
11:11 am
as vowing to hunt down those behind the assassination of its leading nuclear physicist top officials issued a stern warning after the scientists funeral. iran, iran stated before, is our definite policy independently give a reciprocal response to those who ordered and committed this crime with maximum pain. for the culprits, god willing no crime, no assassination, and the foolish should move the left unanswered by the iranian nation. we will certainly hold their own criminals until the end. they must know that they will be punished for their actions. the assault took place on friday, when most in fact, it was traveling and his car tehran. he was shot in an ambush and died of his injuries in the hospital there and immediately brand of the attack, an act of state terror also saying it would continue what it called. the scientists peaceful research and far from stopping terror on the murder appears to have only
11:12 am
angered its leaders as daniel hawkins reports. dr. morsi in factories ardea 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 result, it was given a state funeral and granted martyr status. iran is out for revenge. some hardliners are calling for the direct massive retaliation against those who they think are responsible. even the strikes on israeli cities are on the table. life for an eye
11:13 am
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 time is right, the relevant officials can respond to 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. iran is 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 speed and 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 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
11:14 am
a rod in looking like they could get no deal at all right. then 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 its own. sions were removed, and iran never quite benefit economically as it hoped. and why would the iranians choose compromise in a rare moment of unity? they now have the support of everyone from turkey and iraq to the u.a.e. and even europe. we condemn this heinous murder and extend our condolences to the
11:15 am
government of iran and the family of the deceased. the emirates condemns the crime of the assassination. it calls for nor sides 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. reaction across the region and beyond. a child in australia has been taken into care and a landmark court case. after the parents refused requests for a gender change, the couple are appealing and claim 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 abused her. they want us to consent to testosterone treatment. the child who cannot be
11:16 am
named for legal reasons was born female, but at 15 told family members about wanting to become a boy. and the parents refused. the child contemplated suicide in online posts and was been seized by protection services. is not the only case of parents clashing with authorities on gender dysphoria, a mismatch between people's sex assigned at birth and their gender identification. earlier this year, another child in australia was allowed feminization treatment despite the mother's opposition. previous rulings has left the final decision to parents. my colleagues discuss the issue with a panel of 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, there's always the xcuse says, and so we still are from the assumption that somebody who receives to themselves
11:17 am
has been transgender, is somehow making the mistake that they don't understand their own minds. but the not capable of making a rush to informed decision. not particularly somebody 15 or 16 to be incapable of making 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 gardens 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,
11:18 am
the real science. we know 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, his or her health for the rest of their life. if they're just waiting a few years. 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 world and stalins, 16 year olds can vote, they can make a decision tree. they can be members of the armed forces. they can, they can marry with parental consent and it will, and one now 16 year olds to make those very mature positions in my opinion, then as obsolete. you know, really just to take this old fashioned view that children on some of the shuttles a little more to the answer is move people
11:19 am
from solutions successfully. this for the moment should be the divine a foti just because they gave birth to the channel to see more opinion. don't you see the misconceived? when a child says to their parents, i believe that i'm a girl, even if that child is 8 years old and they're physically a male. 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. and an issue 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 a 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 they're
11:20 am
ripped from the loving arms of their parents and 2 if they're forced to make a decision to leave young, that they might regret the suicide rates are astonishingly higher for children that make this decision decisions. the younger they are when they make those decisions, the more the high, the suicide rate is for them later in life, once they transition to. so we need to be very careful about these children being exploited for political reasons. russia's delegation to the global chemical weapons watchdog has urged germany and other members to stop using the o.p.c. w. political purposes. the embroidered campaign of the so-called poisoning of a russian blogger and in suing actions by germany and its euro. atlantica 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,
11:21 am
figurehead alex in a while me. they released a joint statement urging moscow to disclose the circumstances of what they called a chemical attack, that only a fell ill in august on a domestic flight in russia and was taken to berlin later for treatment. germany claims it found traces of a know which nerve agent in his body and allegation later repeated by the c.w. . however, moscow says its own tests found no such substances and that berlin has rejected requests for lab data. we spoke with alexander sorgen, russia's permanent representative to the open 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, within the e.u. policy towards russia has largely been determined by a small countries by a noisy minority of states that declared themselves front line countries playing
11:22 am
along with and to russian sentiments. the germans dragged themselves in. what's behind this, an attempt to smear russia was 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 the approved norms of international law. there's been a major embarrassment for time's up 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 its 1st year of operation tax filing show. the group raised more than $3500000.20, but i must have went to salaries alone with huge sums also spent on luxury resort
11:23 am
conferences and fact just $312000.00 went to the victims of sexual harassment, received this response from the organization. our turn to 18 expenses were mostly related to a 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 in legal and p.r. support. lawyer, marty haas, that thinks new rules are needed for such nonprofit organizations. i would say this really is not a good battle for a nonprofit organization. this is what i would call in i disciplined bad profit and basically lost their way. i really went there to mission was and it seemed like the nonprofit was sort of using the organization as
11:24 am
a slush fund. the golden rule for not profits is that 75 percent of its funding really should go to its mission mile 25 percent. go to goes to war, the ministration of it. but here, 38 percent went to salaries and with the c.e.o. should tell us to see this imbalance and actually take a pay tax. here's a, what happens is not profit organizations as there are. there are various other 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 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 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 and the autonomy zone
11:25 am
exempt from authorities restrictions on public dining give me something i can generate. i can have where i can just pay my rent and my utilities, so i don't have to shut down. so i'm not totally in the rent where i don't have a lot to make up or say hold me. you know, i'm sure they can find money to do that during their lives. you gotta live, are you supposed to? not run a business and everything like, you know, we've got to fight, but if it was normal, but these people expect people to do it on me. if you're going to the holidays, you know, you're going to see their parents going to thomas song, hear how you feel about it or feel bad. i don't think it's going to work toward
11:26 am
11:27 am
11:28 am
the fight every day. see you meet your needs and the needs of your family ties or this is the kaiser report. don't forget to join our tell the ground group that's a forward orange pill. join the telegram group right now. stacey. hey, i'm going to show a little clip of a mean we were starring in. we get play that i got to play the cat, the cat dancer in the bongo player. yeah, that was really fun. i liked it. oh, yeah, i get to play the cool bongo player, you know, nato, and a few more things to keep you informed of. and that is that,
11:29 am
you know, we do have a huge spanish speaking audience as well. and there is going to be a conference in which we are avatars speaking along with james la jimmy song. * a bunch of cool people, andreas on to not bliss in virtual space, but from argentina or somewhere in latin america at la, big comp, dot com, l.a. b i t c o n f dot com. and you could register for free there and the all the tracks are in english and will be subtitled there dubbed into spanish as well. so exciting lamone looking for that. fantastic. i love being an avatar now. yeah, avatars are better because like, you know, my hair, the situation with my hair, 10 months until out down, people commented on it. a la in the comments on you tube and it's a big topic of discussion. stacy's hair should have its own twitter feed.
11:30 am
right. speaking of twitter, i saw this little dialogue happened between andrew neil and danny blanchflower engineer as a b.b.c. presenter, i think he's now gone off on his own. is a journalist from the spectator and other, you know, right wing, conservative sort of press in the u.k. and danny blanchflower was a member of the open market committee in the bank of england for many years. so ok, he's a bet. he's a central banker down the blanchflower, and an economist, an academic at dartmouth. and i really like him because he's always so open and honest. he doesn't try to be a diplomat. us about what they do as central bankers. he agrees with what we've said here on kaiser report essentially. so andrew neil had 1st tweeted dinner tonight with somebody who thinks he's a great market guru said it is mad that the dow passed 30000 and current circumstances. i said no.
