the people in this country. and as the number of migrants in the us mexico border a study shows biden's new immigration policy including a promise of amnesty to those already in the country could lead to a population increase. hi there welcome lots of places you could be this morning i know so thanks so much for joining us on art. harassment and sexual abuse just some of the problems facing thousands of women in the british army that's according to the shocking results of an inquiry. very hostile environment and you do find themselves in a position when it starts going wrong that's when and when you are vulnerable it is when the problems really start women are paying an unnecessarily high price for serving join the army be the best it's the height of serving your country but it

turns out some women are facing horrific battles of their own imagine 4000 people a brigade that can be deployed anywhere without very same number of women both surfing and veterans have now come forward with shocking experiences in the army from bullying and harassment to serious sexual assault when it's to meet a complaint often to appear to treat somebody here lamest and makes out woman feel like she's just blame and like she was asking for each everywhere else in the welsh military sexual trauma is recognized in yeast and just hopes that parents should be able to identify that the subject traumatic. and people can access help in this couldn't really it just wouldn't recognize sexual trauma the issue has long been swept under the carpet among the ranks according to the ministry of defense figures in the 5 years to 2019 almost 130 sexual violence cases

were heard at military court martials just 10 percent resulted in conviction many of course fail to even reach this stage. thank you the number is increasing year on year with the majority of alleged sexual

predators still among the ranks according to women's testimonies within the current military system it is extremely hard to report a sexual crime and receive support help and justice but of the women there now wait wait here to teach me a service company. it's criminal. the feeling. in the sport was stunned existant so i think if investigation was brilliant i think that women which feel more support i mean on. being the worst brought stories to change their evidence and to generally be. almost gaslighted to draw a story in. and it's only since 2018 that women have been able to apply for military positions within the british armed forces.

you see a lot of different side to the world here in this job and i wouldn't ever want to see some bell for the main men i'm happy where i am to make friends for life there are just people that you know that's got your back and you've got the. nice atmosphere it while women on the frontline fight to protect their country it seems like their country is failing to protect than shot edward stashed r.t. in london. the largest opposition party in the german parliament is outraged to what it sees as being a purely political effort to undermine the position of head of the country's elections this is after local media so alternative for germany has been placed under surveillance by the country's intelligence agency. the aim of the federal office for the protection of the constitution and counterterrorism is obviously in the short term to weaken us until the elections and in the long term to destroy the elderly opposition party in a parliament that opposes the dissolution of the nation state as well as our

limited immigration from foreign cultures and because. interest party has been accused of having ties with the far right extremists of sand to beat into the semitism and also trying to undermine germany's constitution the federal intelligence bodies reportedly been monitoring regional branches for some time but now its activities will be observed nationwide. so far the authorities have not made an official statement about the move the german federal elections are slated for late september in the meantime hundreds of anti for supporters rallied against the f.t. party campaign in the city of often scuffles with police there broke out when protesters attempted to get to the stage where party officials were speaking and christine hansell member of the a.f.p. in the burlington city parliament denied the party had any legs to extremists. they have the political mandate in order to get us rid of the competitor is a political competitor we have the strongest opposition party and what we have to

do is a position is to criticize the government and that's what we do we do it respectively to the euro rescue parties huge favor that we do it with the migration policy which is very dangerous for us in germany and the population doesn't want it we do it in the energy crisis we will face so we actually have an opposition which really harms the government and that's why they want to get rid of us using this central intelligence civilians and you have to see that there is in no other western democracy there is an institution like the cia for internal reasons or to to check the opposition regarding constitute constitutional ideas of constitutional rights i can assure every. we do not want to overthrow this we do not want to overthrow the government we are really trying to renew democracy we want to get more people into the parliament to read discussion. less than 2 months in the white house and

president joe biden is already facing a growing migrant crisis on the southern border in an attempt to reverse donald trump's remain in mexico policy he's promised amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants already living in the country which according to one study could lead to a dramatic increase in the country's foreign born population on the scale of more pinpricks of the story. thousands are at the u.s. border wearing joe biden t. shirts begging the u.s. president to let them in they are among millions currently headed for the same border.

joe biden doesn't see a crisis brewing his whole plan to deal with the border issue boils down to hope and a prayer if you can see that. yes i do well you lack a lot as a. visit ministration doesn't see a problem either just a challenge and they're ready to welcome more migrans deal believe the right crisis at the border i see. the answer is no i think there is a challenge at the border that we are managing and we have our resources dedicated to to manage and we are not saying don't come we are saying don't come now because we will be able to deliver safe and orderly process to them as quickly as possible biden moved to undo the trumpet ministrations migration policies one of the 1st moves was to set up a juvenile detention facility but he insists this is not kids in cages it's

prompted the we're. trying to survive this is not kids being kept in cages this is this is this is a facility that was opened that's going to follow the same standards as other h.h.s. facilities the migrant crisis spawns a lot of crime and just 3 days 1600 migrants were arrested with chris. models reportedly among them and criminal organizations have certainly flourish the monk community is there are afraid to call the police out of fear of deportation and there are people coming across a large number that are criminals a lot of people just looking for a better way of life unfortunately it could create a situation where they may be vulnerable to criminal organizations trying to abuse the minor children coming in that open the door there and i'm sure they're looking for opportunities there. you've got people trying to get jobs any type of jobs and they're basically they're on documented illegal jobs and so you've got criminal

activities will probably feed off of that as well human trafficking aspect of this is another whole area the critics say the white house is just not being realistic about the potential dangers of its policy the green light is on now we're open for business again and that is that was the worst message to be sending to the traffickers who were smuggling these kids across the border polls show that trump's border wall remains very popular despite that congress is moving forward on what the democrats call sweeping immigration legislation presenting an 8 year path to citizenship for 11000000 people in the country without papers such an amnesty would be adding a new layer of u.s. citizenship roughly the size of california this is a very dangerous approach and if you live overseas and especially in despair. and i know now and. the united states.

and i'm not going to be stopped and i got a welcome in of course i'm going to come because if i want to wave to the legal system it's my thinking and i don't think that government the u.s. government is incapable of doing and all of these illegal immigration they already are. a lot of them in death due to death and that make it a lot of business is going to close 1000000 people. and now the legal process allows people to come in with by. the judge is going to be a major that to handle the crowds at the border are getting larger and the country is becoming more polarized while trump may be gone the immigration debate is getting more intense it's becoming the most polarizing issue in a country that is already quite divided up and artsy new york turns out

that neanderthal thinking is becoming the new insult of choice among american politicians as the texas governor far as the back joe biden over his immigration policy. by the administration was releasing illegal immigrants it illegal immigrants into our communities who had tobit that is neanderthal type approach to dealing with the cove a situation where texas also hit back at president biden after he described the governor's decision to relax mask rules as neanderthal thinking. in the last the last thing we need is a phone thank you that you know the founders for taking us for good it still matters. absolutely should not be saying those kind of things that's very insulting and he. criticized everybody else and.

the democrats and they drove my hair in their boots on the on the necks of the people in this country telling them what to do oh i don't think there's anything accounts for the name calling and i don't think you should be calling us neanderthals if he wants to talk about you need to eat with the list is 1st thing i think you cannot call people names you just have to respect. but despite the decline in infections and deaths in recent weeks texas is still registering more than 7 and a half 1000 new coronavirus cases a day that's the 3rd highest death toll in the u.s. after california new york approaching 45000 and despite the figures texans support the decision to relax restrictions tired of not being able to go and do things we wanted to we're glad to get our masks rockin go live life again that's how i feel about it i think it's time for now to open up the restaurants in everybody go

different places and forget today i'm going to my character of language for the 1st time in many years of being of the business is great if you have to go out your risk anyway so why not just get it over with and get back to normal i think it's a good thing to get the economy back making sure we don't have any problems with. our work with the public so i don't have any problem with viruses because politically. or texas governor justified the decision citing economic reasons and the start of vaccinations in the state he also said covert hospitalizations were the lowest since october critics of the move believe the state should be punished in vaccine supplies halted. texas we hear you you didn't want to be part of our electrical grid and now you've removed your mask mandate and there are large crowds together we hear you coded is a hoax so you don't need our precious vaccine we'll send it to people who are

saving lives by wearing masks why are we wasting vaccinations on texas if texas has decided to join the side of the virus we spoke to wayne allen root a former libertarian vice presidential nominee about the situation. texas has this image of now for ics and rebels and conservatives that have voted it big for donald trump and it's the symbol that democrats and liberals and communists and socialists in america ate and so they're using texas as the whipping boy texas is a symbol of freedom and if it ever comes to it if there's ever a division of our country and there's a session or what i like to call a divorce you go our way we go our way everyone separates text this would be the leading state that would say look we're not going to follow biden's rules anymore because this is start to be ridiculous and so i think they've always aimed their guns at census because it represents freedom and it scares the big government big brother bureaucrats it's ridiculous overreaction makes no sense of course there are

cases of course people get the infection it's highly contagious nobody can say oh i have the key to what i will never get sick you have to weigh risk versus reward let everyone live their lives who's under the age of 75 and be very careful and spend a lot of money protecting the people who are over 75. plus one years on the way where they sound to me after the break. join me every thursday on the alex 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.

seemed wrong. but old just told. me you get to shape out just because the educated and engaged with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. by the 21st century america is exhausted it's just tired and it doesn't have anything approaching mark but china after being on the margins for so long does that something to prove and they do have the capacity and they are putting charter to the wheel and they are working to. convert the shots were fired in nigeria during a reunion ceremony between parents and the kid not daughters security forces opened

fire when frustrated parents began to throw stones at officials 3 people were reportedly injured in what is the latest example of the ongoing instability in the region what is nikki aaron examines whether the international community should be doing more. from gangs kidnapping for ransom the 2 armed groups overrunning entire towns the nigerian government faces a minefield of security challenges. but you feel that. there really seems to be no end to nigeria's problems the most recent case saudi hardest slings to the islamic state attacked a u.n. base trapping 25 aid workers the attack started last night and as information is

still coming through i'm outraged to hear the promises of several aid agencies and a hospital were reportedly set ablaze or sustained damage this violent attack will affect the support provided to nearly 100000 people who are desperately in need of humanitarian assistance and protection the long running instability has sparks concern among the international community which has been vocal about the need to tackle the issues in this our whole region as a security guarantee. the protection of our fellow citizens makes the fight against islamic terrorism the 1st priority of our foreign policy to kill however let's do this of course we need international corporation above all in the fight against international islam is terrorism corporation with the usa and cohesion within the e.u. and this international corporation must be improved by the sale is a microcosm of cascading global risks converging in one region it is a warning sign for requiring urgent attention and resolution so what's being done

well france has had troops on the ground since 2014 and there's currently no plan for there are patrick ation but the numbers are mia a little over $5000.00 with just over a 1000 more to arise and it's not nigeria as a whole that's the focus significant changes will undoubtedly be made to our military system in the saddle into course but they were not take place immediately and while less it's in the region have failed to raise any hope they have raised eyebrows here's what about the stark think tank had to say the reason for germany and france is unsuccessful we've been counterproductive strategies in both crisis states is that stabilization is a goal usually plays a subordinate role nigeria is africa's most populous region its biggest economy i largest oil producer but many of its people live in poverty and it's now over run with the worrying

a rate of intelligent security threats alarm bells should be ringing as well so what will it take before relief is brought to nigeria counter-terrorism experts i mean to pay a low dose is that a combined effort is needed to bring an end to the crisis in nigeria. one of the biggest challenge then i do not say since today is the luck of the implementation plan to reduce extremism so imagine lately miss universe in which i didn't need to what would translate it what we all got caught it was tough we got to make sure we was to make sure that the issue of our lives it's through music is dealt with collectively and not individually help mentira help don't build a delegate structure because help them look towards the fire they are structural flaws meet on the ground because if not it goes into yours. would you

or will. the european medicines agency has started a rolling review into the safety and efficacy of russia splitting the vaccine the regulator said that it may make a decision on the job faster following a preliminary analysis of sputnik sputnik these developers have said that they can provide doses for $50000000.00 europeans starting from gene russian job as an efficacy of more than 90 percent and also be stored in normal fridge temperatures and will cost less than a regular breakfast we discussed is approval process with the c.e.o. of the fund behind the jump. russia is no insisting on supplied it's we've seen we hear fuge demand is really very significant so we are working on the it was countries of lords who really want to look out for a russian vaccine oh you know if we look at strangers 3 mile in 44 nations of his

population of more than 1200000000 so we have a major demand for oil we've seen and that is up to you to see the ones who need just part of their strategy if so what the role will play there but without complaint and that we will work very closely was in me to provide them with all of the information and we are also looking forward to zone visits and production facilities of course while. we already see as are several countries like hungary in slovakia already approved as would you directly with your been approached by several other nations and it's very important that you know when soup rules directly to them of violating any regulations in the u.s. so you actually clarified for time period slovakia really followed the exact procedure this is or you can do in peace with emergency health situations which obviously over the biggest. we need to make sure that people have a choice of extremes and of course different agencies need to grow their save but

it's very important most polluted choice is that people deserve to tell all the different technology is different because scenes because you know we're beef from human though i don't think knowledge we believe has been proven to be saved for decades and many people will choose specifically this human the no viral technology because of its benefits. the u.s. house of representatives has passed a bill aimed at tackling police brutality is named after george floyd the man who was choked to death by a police officer in minneapolis last year we spoke to retired sample police officer and member of the national police association and questions to me. and when they pass a bill like this and name it after somebody who's actually a convicted felon and was allegedly committing a crime at the time. i think that the good probably look for actual real victims and not somebody like that who would want to be a police officer if they knew that somebody who's just decided afterwards that

something that you were taught. is illegal because it didn't look good on t.v. and you're being sued personally or you being prosecuted personally for something that either was a mistake or somebody deemed to be your wrong technique but only after you've been done even though it was only retrain because somebody who is anti police doesn't agree with the outcome of the courts or the disciplinary system it doesn't mean it was wrong it just means that they don't agree with it and says a lot of these folks just sort of this rule for bullies it's not that hard to understand that they don't agree with the decisions. of police officers in many states left the forsyth harassment and pressure following threats and protest the demands to defund law enforcement this includes states such as minneapolis atlanta and south florida would place of the same that they feared for their lives. could be one of the reasons behind a record increase in crime across the country homicide rates increased by 20

percent in the u.s. last year the largest increase was in new york with a spike of 40 percent and chicago with 37 percent of the pompous says that policing is risky business. results are human beings we deal with human beings all the time the last thing we want to do is take another human being's life and fur somebody to be so frivolous as to say that or imply that we don't use deadly force as a last resort is an insult but beyond that officers have always used deadly force as a last resort thing mostly whining i think i may go by the individual perception that person is in the situation of dealing with that person that's presumably a threat to their wives and they have to deal with that you know to keep themselves safe keep themselves alive so i think that that's just an insult to say the police officers don't already used it the force is a last resort the officer from those criticisms that can come down on split 2nd

decisions that later on you may be able to say oh wow why can you do this why didn't the officer do that but when you're dealing with split seconds you have to be able to to act like that and they can't have officers then later on being pulled up on charges. the chinese university professor has been subjected to what police are investigating as racially aggravated assault in the city of south and paying wang said that he was attacked by 4 men on the street. i was out. i was just you know it was around one minute walk from my home and was shouted. by using reassure sed worst from from a minute the car on the other side that they're all saw the meet at the you know i got there angry and i shouted back saw then i kept jogging salton you
