is when the problem really starts 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 voting and harassment to serious sexual assault when it's to meet a complaint often to appear to treat somebody here simply immersed in makes out woman feel like she's just lame like she was a skin florist everywhere else in the world military sexual trauma is recognized in years didn't tell us that parents should be able to identify that the subject traumatic puts a name to it 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 ask that women wait with here to teach me a service company and. all that. is criminal act. they feel a need to out the investigation the school was stunned existant so i think if the investigation was ice really and chiefs i think that women in which feel more support i mean on the system the reporting being the worst broad story is to change their evidence and to generally be. almost gaslighted to draw a story and not take it forward but while women on the frontline fight to protect their country it seems like their country is failing to protect fan shot edward

stashed r.t. in london. germany's largest opposition party has hit back at what it sees as a purely political effort to undermine it ahead of the country's elections and set a local media reported alternative for germany when placed under surveillance by the country's intelligence agency. as for france 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 parliament that opposes the dissolution of the nation state and unlimited immigration from foreign cultures. thought has been accused of having ties with far right extremists contributing to anti semitism and trying to undermine germany's constitution the federal intelligence bodies reportedly been monitoring regional branches for some time now its activities will also be observed nationwide. so far the authorities have not commented on the move the german

federal elections are slated for late september in the meantime hundreds of anti for supporters rallied against the a.f.d. party at a campaign in the city of often by scuffles there with police broke out when protesters attempted to reach the stage where party officials were speaking christian hensel member of the f.t. in the berlin city parliament denied the party has any legs to extremists. they have the political mandate in order to get us rid of the competitor as 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 surveillance 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 and constitutional rights i can assure everybody we do not want to overthrow the system we do not know. to overthrow the government we are really trying to renew democracy we want to get more people into the parliament to read discussion. or more of the story head over to r.t. dot com where in an exclusive interview senior member talks about what he calls the draining conflict with the established. while you're there you can check out the development you want to be yesterday stories is joins amazon in removing the classic dr seuss children's books over claims of racial discrimination all that available at r.t. dot com. less than 2 months in the white house and president

joe biden's already facing a growing migrant crisis on the southern border in an attempt to reverse donald trump's remain in mexico policy he promised amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants already living in the u.s. which according to one study could lead to a dramatic increase in the country's foreign born population on the scale of more pain has details. 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 as

a whole plan to deal with the border issue boils down to hope and a prayer. yes i do legalize a lot. isn't ministration doesn't see a problem either just a challenge and they're ready to welcome more migrants to leave right prices at the border. 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 migrant crisis spawns a lot of crime and just 3 days 1600 migrants were arrested with criminals reportedly among them and criminal organizations have certainly flourished among communities there are afraid to call the police out of fear of deportation 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's could create a situation where they made the vulnerable to criminal organizations trying to abuse them 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 a. message should be sent to the traffickers who were smuggling these kids across the border show that trumps 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 $11000000.00 people in the country

without papers such an amnesty would be adding a new layer of u.s. citizenship roughly the size of california the hole in the process will allow people to come in. or. out of. jobs is going to be a major task to hand them and i think the government the u.s. government. and all of these illegal immigration. a lot of them. do today and then take a lot of the closed 1000000 people out of war and illegal 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. is out

now and the fall is becoming the new choice among u.s. politicians as the texas governor the joe biden over his immigration policy. by the administration was releasing illegal immigrants legal immigrants into our communities who had tobit that is approach to dealing with the cobra situation texans also hit back at president biden after he criticized the governor's decision to relax mask rules. in the last the last thing. thank you very. much for taking. it still. should not be saying those kind of things that's very insulting he. criticized everybody else . the democrats and they drove my hair in their boots on the mix of the people in this country telling them what to do oh i don't.

know i don't think you should be calling us neanderthals wants to talk about you need to eat with your list is 1st thing i think you cannot call people names you just have to respect. sponsor a decline in infections and deaths in recent weeks texas is still registering above 7 and a half 1000 new coronavirus cases daily almost 45000 it has the 3rd highest death toll in the u.s. to california or new york despite the figures texan support the decision to relax restrictions. tired of not being able to go and do things if we wanted to we're glad to get our masks rockin go and 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 chiropractor appointment for the 1st time any new year opening of the business is great if you have to go out your risk anyway so why

not just but get it over with and get back to normal i think it's a good thing to get the economy back make sure we don't have any problems with. our work with the public so i don't have any problem with viruses because politically. speaking here of the work of the texas governor justified the decision citing economic reasons and the start of vaccinations in the states he also said covert hospitalizations were their lowest level since october but critics of the move believe that the state should be penalized 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 of form

a libertarian vice presidential nominee about the situation. texas has this image of now for excess 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 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 always aim their guns at census because it represents freedom and it's hears 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. so to come australia calls on the e.u. commission to review its decision to block a shipment of coronavirus banks in the country some straight hopeless places called it an example of vaccine nationalism details after the break. join me every thursday on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. metabolife small molecule bodies make or. they make less of it as we get older this

is one of the things i work on. and because we have less of it we become more prone to infection and the crazy thing is that 19 sars could be to one of its ways of attacking the body to deplete the body even more of that chemical which we need to fight infections. by the 21st century america is exhausted it's just tired and it doesn't have anything approaching him arms but china after being on the margins for so long does that something approach and they do have the capacity and they are putting shoulder to the wheel and they are working to. come back house trailer has asked the european commission to review its decision to

cancel a shipment of astra zeneca vaccines to the country it leaves the new export control mechanism to block the delivery after astra zeneca failed to meet its supply contract with the shipment only amounts 225-0000 doses but it comes as frustration of the e.u. slow job rollout and supply shortages grows mr li pm said he understood the reasons behind the move in italy people are dying at the right of 300. and so i can certainly understand the high level of anxiety that would exist in italy and in many countries or across europe under the e.u.'s export control systems they can request the vaccine shipments outside the plant be stopped if supplies haven't fulfilled the contracts earlier i spoke to dr stephen who called the move an example of vaccine nationalism. we have 25000000 people and so we're going to need 50000000 doses overall it's disappointing but as our prime minister said

it is understandable the italians are struggling with serious numbers of deaths in australia is currently among one of the syphon countries in the world with regard to pandemic control the debian chose talked about its it fear of vaccine nationalism do you consider that a case of this vaccine nationalism. oh i think sir it's a country putting its interests ahead of others in the context of the pandemic and vaccines are clearly the only guy in charge of there is the implications i think our lists of before a country walk in stride then i would be for horror and around the world we know that as recently as a few weeks ago the vast majority of inviolable vaccine was in the affluent nations of the world and poor nih sions were missing out of the countries that i think the most at risk from vaccination with no one in the world is really cited for until

the global population has a very high right of the ex and i should across the board the virus does not respect international borders and certainly when you have big grizz of was a virus in the population that's way you are more likely to get these variants that have higher odds of infectivity or potentially more severe heat this is something really i think that is a moral question for the entire planet how we roll out they say the number of vaccines which have been achieved in an incredibly short period of time which is a wonderful thing that had to we do that to all contraries and not restricted to principle the rich nations which include ices lacustrine euro neutral. meanwhile despite announcing plans for a gradual reopening germany extended its crown of our slowdown for another 3 weeks of it phase of a 3rd wave. you know what a good to see if there are

a great many examples in europe of a dramatic 3rd wave and we don't have to kid ourselves this risk also exists for us and we must always be aware of that it's emotive was said the european medicines agency started a rolling review into the safety and efficacy of russia's sputnik vaccine regulators said that it may make a decision on the job more quickly following a preliminary analysis developers say that they can provide doses for $50000000.00 europeans starting from gene present job has an efficacy of above 90 percent it can also be stored at normal frigid temperatures and it costs less than an average breakfast that is because the news approval process with the c.e.o. of the fund behind sputnik. profit was more insisting on supply it's we've seen we hear fuge demand. is really very significant so we are working on the it was found trees a lot of really want a russian vaccine are you know you could strangers 30 mile in what you on the

shelves of population of more than 1000000000 so we have a major demand quote we've seen and that is up we will to see if he wants or need just part of their strategy if so what the role of it will play there but without complete open and there we will work very closely with the me to provide some was all of the information and we are also looking forward to serve users in production facilities which of course well. we already have several countries like hungary in slovakia are already approved directly with your being approached by several other nations and it's very important you know when to cool slews directly through them of violating your review lesions you need you saw you actually clarified for a time period slovakia really followed procedure this is you can do in peace with emergency health situations which obviously over the years. we need to make sure that people. it with choice of exceeds that of orders different

agencies need to see but it's very important multiple limited choice is that people deserve to tell all the different technologies of your privilege scenes because you know we are beautiful human where all technology we believe has been proven to be saved for decades and many people will choose specifically as us your money in the viral technology because of the. mass kidnappings in nigeria are unfortunately all too common almost $300.00 schoolgirls were freed this week just days after being abducted but the reunion ceremony ended in disaster when frustrated parents started to throw throw stones at officials and that in turn to fire from security forces on these nicaea and examines whether the international community should be doing more to improve stability in the region. from gangs kidnapping for ransom the 2 armed groups over running and tire towns the nigerian

government faces a minefield of security challenges. and . you feel that. there really seems to be no end to nigeria's problems the most recent case thought to hardest slinks to the islamic state attack a u.n. base trapping 25 aide workers the attacks started last night and as information is still coming through i'm outraged to hear the promises of several aid agencies and a hospital 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 sparked concern among the international community which has been vocal about the need to tackle the issues in this our whole region as you heard

a security guarantee in the protection of our fellow citizens makes the fight against islamic terrorism the 1st priority of our foreign policy. tool is of course we need international corporation above all in the fight against international islamist terrorism cooperation with the usa and cohesion within the e.u. and this international corporation must be improved. 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 their apache ation but the numbers are mia at 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 in jew course but they were not take place

immediately and while yes 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 germany and france is unsuccessful 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 and largest oil producer but many of its people live in poverty and it's now over run with the worrying a ray of intelligent security threats alarm bells should be ringing. so what will it take before relief is brought to nigeria canst terrorism expert to me to be a low dose says that a combined efforts needed to bring an end to the crisis in nigeria. one of the biggest challenge done i do not say seems so easy.

to do islamic extremism so imagine a zionist you must be new to what would france mean if you will we all got caught was tough it got to make sure we was to make sure that he should have all this it's through music is dealt with click not individually help nigeria help them build a tele just help them plus the 5. plus minutes on the ground because if not goes into peals your group would do away with it. so it is you all right up today don't forget that we do cover plenty more new stories and you can find out what they are by heading to our website check out all te delta com. but the the make no certainly no borders just by nationalities.
