the case is closed and nobody really can tell the difference between a good confession someone that isn't. even. headlines an r.t. thousands of women in the british army report harassment and abuse from within their own ranks according to testimony being part of. a retreat. you. can make saudi woman feel like she's just like she was. also to come this hour germany's largest opposition party accuses the government of political foul play. placed under surveillance for alleged links to extremists and texans lash out at joe biden he labels the decision to relax. in the state. thinking. the democrats are.

the people in this country telling them what to do meanwhile the texas governor hits right back at the president calling his new immigration policy neanderthal after study shows that biden's plans could lead to a drastic increase in the migrant population. but i could after knowing that set here in moscow you're watching international bullying harassment and sexual abuse this is what thousands of women have been subject to in the british army according to testimonies given to a parliamentary committee. very hostile environment. you do find themselves in a vulnerable position and it starts going wrong that's where and when you're vulnerable this 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 him and makes out women feel like she's just lame like she was asking for each everywhere else in the world to military sexual trauma is recognized in yeast and just helps that brains to be able to identify that the subject trauma puts a name to it people can access help in this couldn't really it just didn't recognize the sexual trauma or 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 with here to teach me a service company or to draw a. 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 being the worst brought stories 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 their shot edward stashing 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 that after local media reported that alternative for germany had 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 until the elections and in the long term to destroy the only opposition party in parliament that opposes the dissolution of the nation state and unlimited immigration from foreign cultures. while the party has been accused of having ties with far right extremists contributing to anti-semitism and trying to undermine germany's constitution the intelligence body has reportedly been monitoring regional branches for some time now but now it's activities will also be placed under surveillance nationwide so far the authorities have not commented on the move the german federal elections are for late september meanwhile

hundreds of antiphon supporters rallied against the a.f.d. party at a campaign in the city of often back scuffles with police there broke out when protesters attempted to reach the stage where party officials were speaking where we can talk now to nicholas vs any paid a hefty party leader in berlin we appreciate your time so afternoon thanks for coming on i just want to start our i know your party says this is a political move but shouldn't people expect the intelligence services to launch some sort of investigation if there are concerns about links to the far right. yes of course but they should give we have some proof. that this is the case and up till know we haven't seen those who say i mean. disability can move you can also. you can also see by just.

looking at how this was done i mean on the very same day when the. domestic secret service got a court order not to call the $850.00 an extremist group on xmas. all the. material was given to papers leftist papers which are very critical. towards safety and so yes you know the domestic secret service is not claiming that we are extremists but funnily enough the is left leftist papers they got all the material while we're still in the dark and i mean if this is not a sign for clearly political move i don't know what such a move else could be what sort of impact then do you think this could have because i mean coming back to your point i know that the intelligence agencies are saying

that you are now a suspected case and as you said nothing's been proved but despite that i suppose you would feel that this will have a negative impact with the elections coming up shortly. of course it will have a negative impact i mean they can now tap our phones they can monitor our e-mails and try to get a result of the turk within our ranks but i mean i strongly believe that this that all of this has already been the case that we that our phones were tapped that our emails were where the secret service know they can do this officially and the main impact. lies in the fact that no people who are civil servants like especially policemen or people who work for false us. have no severe problems. will be monitored very

extensively and so that it and of course you know their. future job is jeopardized so. they might think twice whether it's worth to stay within a 50 and that is. the you actual danger and the major threat of this. it's of a yeah i wanted also i do feel that your party is now being stigmatized members of the general public might now be afraid to unite to put a tick next to a 90 ballot box. absolutely absolutely we have seen this already that's a trend of years ago there was another conservative party the republicans who also got stigmatized the domestic secret service and they went to cults and atheists

later caught decided in favor of the will be karna the republicans but there was too late you know all the big spawns of us and many of the civil servants and so who were members of this party had. in the meantime had left the party and so. the party went back bankrupt and have not enough members to participate in elections and that is exactly what the other parties want to do with a 50 as well because they see that we are in fact the only opposition and when a stark and we are opposing the right questions concerning look we are posing the right questions concerning islamization and we are posing the right questions concerning unlimited migration of africans and people from saudi arabia and. the. east world i just want to get your opinion now do you feel as though your

party has done enough to distance itself from far right groups because that seems to be the longstanding accusation. we have a very clear policy when it comes to far right groups where there has been a member of a far wider group is not allowed to become a member of a 50 so we are much more strict. parties from the left we have no problems to take on people who are openly diehard trotskyist stalinist or so and we have always had a chinese wall against all right extreme or far right opposition groups and therefore yes we have done enough but of course. the domestic secret service being in the hands of the other parties. has no interest in.

in. judging this unbiased i can i am sure that something also that they would deny nicolas press thank you very much for coming on to say we have to think that was the case festa any pain or party leader in berlin thank you. thank you very much. for more on this story do head over to r.t. dot com where in exclusive interview a senior member talks about what he calls the draining conflict with the establishment i want you there too you can check out developments in one of yesterday stories too because as joins am isn't in removing the classic bill to see children's books over claims of racial discrimination you can read about that at r.t. dot com. now less than 3 months in the white house and president biden is already facing a growing migrant crisis on the southern border in an attempt to reverse trump's remain in mexico policy he promised amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants

already living in the united states which according to one study could lead to a dramatic increase in the country's foreign born population with more his kellam oppa. 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 even if you have. yes i do believe you lack

a lot of this is going to. visit 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. 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 on. for schooling it could create a situation where they made the vulnerable to criminal organizations trying to abuse that 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. message should be sent to the traffickers who were smuggling these kids across the border polls 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 they already a lot of them. do today and then take a lot of business is going to close a 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 well it seems that the wood and the phone is becoming the new insult of choice among american politicians them i'm just the texas governor to turn back at joe biden over his immigration

policy. by the administration was releasing illegal immigrants in legal immigrants into our communities who had cold it that is type approach to dealing with the covert situation saxon's also hit back to president biden after he criticized the governess decision to relax mosque groups. in the last the last 3 or 4 thank you very. much for taking. for good still. after that should not be saying those kind of things that's very insulting oh he. criticized everybody else and. the democrats and they drove my hair in their boots on the mix of the people in this country telling them what to do so 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 us he's 1st think of it then you cannot call people names you just have to respond to well despite a decline in infections and deaths in recent weeks texas is still registering over 7 and a half 1000 new coronavirus cases daily i don't most 45000 this has the 3rd highest death toll in the united states after california and new york but despite the think is texans do support the decision to relax restrictions. tired of not being able to go and do things we wanted to do 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 to open up 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 will bring up 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. speaking here are worth. the texas governor justified the decision sizing economic reasons and the start of vaccinations in the state your said saying that covert hospitalizations were at the lowest since october although critics of the move to believe that the state should be pain aleister and 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 are allowing 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 well earlier we spoke to wayne allen root of form a libertarian vice presidential nominee about the situation. texas has this image

of now for x. 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 ates 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've always aimed their guns at census because it represents freedom and it steers 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 could say oh i have the key to it i'll 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 while not happy with the burden and the thought being thrown around by u.s. politicians as an insult to museum in germany felt the need to stick up for the species 20. to say that they were smarter than you might think. washing out even have a quite bright nap will be back with more stories in a couple of minutes. 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.

there's a myth metabolife small molecule little bodies maker and i 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 congress 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 have something to prove and they do have the capacity and they are putting shoulder to the wheel and they are working to.

welcome back our strayer has asked the european commission to review its decision to cancel a shipment of astra zeneca vaccines to the country is fleet used a new export control mechanism to block the delivery after astra zeneca fail to meet its supply contract with the e.u. well the shipment only amounts to $250000.00 but it does come as frustration over the slow jabbering lagged and supply shortages strain and pm said he understood the reasons behind them. 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 u.s. export control system states can request vaccine shipments outside the block be stopped if supplies haven't fulfilled their contracts earlier we spoke to dr stephen power panisse 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 says. it is understandable the italians are struggling with serious numbers of deaths in australia is currently among one of the safest countries in the world with regard to pandemic control the debian chose talked about its it fear of vaccine nationalism do you consider the other case of this vaccine nationalism. i think some are it's a country putting its interests ahead of others in the context of the pandemic and vaccines are clearly the only dime challenge of their worries the implications i think are the lists of before a country walk in stride then they would be for poor 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 nations were missing out of the countries that i think the most at risk from vaccination with no one in the world is really sorry 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 boltons and certainly when you have bee grizz of was a virus in the population that's way you are more likely to get the. variance that have higher odds of infectivity or potentially more severe or he said 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 but had to we do that to all contraries and not restricted to principly the rich nations which include vices lacustrine you're in the team.

despite announcing plans for a gradual reopening germany has extended its coronavirus done for another 3 weeks amid phase of a 3rd way. you know what good does the very 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. the european medicines agency meanwhile has started a rolling review into the safety net fixie of russia's vaccine the regulator has said it may take a decision on the job more quickly following a preliminary analysis the developers say that they can provide doses for $50000000.00 europeans starting from june when the russian job has an epic sea of over 90 percent it can also be stored at normal frigid temperatures and cost less than an average breakfast we discuss the use of approval process with this sea of the fund behind sputnik. russia is no insisting

on supply it's we've seen we hear fuge demand is really very significant so we are working on the it was countries the laws really want to look out for a russian vaccine. because rangers 3 mile in which you feel 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 easy ones would need just part of their strategy if so what the role of it will play there but without complete open and that we will work very closely was in me to provide them with all of the information and we are also looking forward reserve visits and production facilities of wood because well. we already see use of several countries like hungary in slovakia already approved this would never directly with their been approached by several other nations and it's very important that you know when luke rules directly through them of violating any regulations in the u.s.

so you actually clarified for a time period slovakia really followed seeds or procedure this is you can do in piece of emergency health situations which will obviously call it a debt it just. 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 multiple image choice is that people deserve to tell all the different technologies of different machines because you know we'll be from human though i don't think knowledge we believe has been proven to be saved for decades and many people will choose specifically as a human to know biotechnology because of. the u.s. house of representatives has passed a bill aimed at tackling police brutality it's named after george floyd the man he was child to death by a police officer he minneapolis last year however national police association member steve pumper has questioned the make. 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 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 a wrong technique but only after you've been done even though it was a lawyer trained 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 that us all have a record spike in this in 2020 with homicide rates rising by 20 percent the largest

increase was in new york with 40 percent and chicago with 7 percent police offices across america left the force in the wake of protests spot by freud's death with some citing concerns for the safety but despite criticism of police that takes the pump it does say that me full force will always be a last resort. police officers 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 and especially when you have to go by the individual perception that person is in a situation dealing with a person that's presumably a threat to their lives and they have to deal with that you know to.
