send out the victim, say they still with the consequences. today the virus is refusing to reveal 12 years, the locations of radioactive waste double 6 decades on from colonial france condensing, you could folks use those, took her calls k, c, n s a spied on these communications in private emails journalists alleging all because he tried to skew an interview with the russian president for year of calls today from the police. us death, democrats, good acts, police officers, candidate, the new york city. mad or this new state governors declares a gun on emergency. ah,
11:01 am
very good evening. thanks for joining us on our team. years of french nuclear testing and jerry's part of the so or does it have left a lasting impact on locals and on the environment. 6 decades on the radio and the radioactive aftermath still remains with jerry denouncing paris over its refusal to show when euclid waste is buried. ah hurry for france since this morning it's stronger and proud. ah! and $0.60 carried out 17 nuclear tests in the sahara, but according to alger, made no effort to clean up those sites. so to pay compensation to victims who
11:02 am
suffered from the radiation. he showed dubin schedules from paris. your theory and government is stepping up the fight. it has accused frances refusing to handle the important information regarding the sites from refuses to hand over top, a graphical maps to determine the burial sites of the polluting, a radioactive or chemical waste which have still not been discovered. the radiation victims have already died due to unknown medical conditions and causes, but of those to still survive just a single algerian has been compensated. the french authorities should at least recognise these crimes then move on to compensation. jerry, people are still counting the victims of radiation and the nuclear tests are many children still born with congenital deformities due to the variation. so it makes sense that all these victims deserve compensation hospitals. the treat,
11:03 am
the kansas caused by radiation should be built at the very least. another crime still effects in these people is the denial of these events, the downplaying and suppression of them. that time france submitted a false report, the un, which said that the area where the test would be carried out with uninhabited, deserted, and isolated. in reality, it was an area inhabited by people that were cultural areas with a waste, these palm trees and various animals. this is the 1st lie, and they also said that these would test another french themselves. amid that these, when you click logins and not test, and from these explosions, the radiation was not limited to the algebra and deserts, but spread to the african jungle and even europe. the current french president has asked for a commission of memories and of truth to be established to address the country's colonial past in g area. but it's really, it will focus on the torture, the disappearance, and the hundreds of thousands of deaths that occurred during the war for
11:04 am
independence. and not on those nuclear test. algeria was the only place that france carried out such deadly testing. an independent investigation recently criticized fall and damage in hiding the devastating impacts of the nuclear explosions that it carried out the majority of which were in french hall anesha. it said in that report, the radiation levels were up to 10 times higher than those that had been estimated by the countries own atomic energy commission. back in 2016. you can't erase 60 years of state propaganda, denial, intimidation, contempt, an arrogance with a wave of the hand. that pressure led to talk at the start of july to assess the impact that those detonations had. the strong remains completely firm that there
11:05 am
was no cover up. so far that only branch has been extended to algeria, that is likely to great with the fall out of those nuclear tests, still polluting relations between l. g s and paris. charlotte ski ot see in paris. meanwhile, a woman who claims that her life was severely affected by similar nuclear tests in french polynesia says that france should pay for the damages on 2 generations of locals. my grandparents died of cancer, my mother sister had cancer and the age of 27, i was diagnosed with chronic leukemia, which is a radiation indeed disease that have some fallen asians are very nice. so for us decided to conduct tests and follow neesha because the local did not see anything wrong with the exercises ended in 1997. but there was an enormous damage. there is a lot of misinformation they are trying to solve in size, many locals and i'll talk about their diseases. today. my symptoms are rolling in
11:06 am
my life. i raise the issue of the un at the international level. we have thousands of people in the eighty's do i talk about the radioactive impact on the population . when you nothing, and today our surroundings are contaminated and damaged. i hope that ross will pay off all the factors polynesians and be punished by an international court. because now we're a small country taking on big france folks, news host took her calls and claims that the n s a started to spy on him. not long after he began trying to secure an interview with the imputed. i think that the agency sees him as a traitor for it. let's go lie to correspondent kelly molten. kelly. fascinating. well, this bit does all when you consider lots of us and foreign journalists already interviewed to, to, in the past. what more can you tell us about this? well, it appears that tucker carlson was attempting to set up an interview with russian
11:07 am
president vladimir putin at the time. he became the subject of national security agency, n. s a surveillance. now that's according to axis and they cited sources familiar with the matter. now. tucker carlson confirmed that story on wednesday, and at that point he said the n s a actually leak 2 emails in the hopes of discrediting him. here's what tucker carlson. the fox news host said there was one other person who knew that i sent the email and it was my executive producer justin . well, that's it. and i didn't, didn't mention it to anybody else, including my wife. and this is no possibility that anyone else could have known. and now what's interesting is we had a rare response from the an essay on twitter. they responded what from their response? it's unclear if surveillance on tucker is communications. i was part of routine surveillance of foreign officials or not. now what's interesting is that that you
11:08 am
know, axial according to their source. the 2 kremlin intermediaries that tucker carlson was interacting with were in the united states. but it's not clear if they were us citizens. now, if they were foreign nationals living on us soil operating on us soil would have been routine for the say to spy on them. they would not have needed special permission according to their procedures. but at this point, the critics of the essay such as glen greenwald are speaking up and pointing out about the new surveillance culture in the united states. and this being yet another example of that, take a listen to what glen greenwald had to say. everyone should want to see the evidence about whether an essay spied on carson's e mails and leave them. that's how we will know for sure whether it happened. but you have to be staggeringly naive, willfully ignorant to think n s a. ca haven't always done exactly this and still do
11:09 am
now, there are a number of journalists and news anchors in the united states who have interviewed russian president vladimir putin. so the question is, why was tucker carlson single doubt and subject to surveillance? at this point, the n s. a reputation as a result of the edward snowden revelations and many other things that had been brought to light is certainly once again in question. now it seems tucker carlson is taking them to taska and many people who admire or watch tucker carlson are asking themselves questions about the new surveillance culture in america. to appreciate the update of correspondence, the state side caleb moore plan. thank you. living on a former police officer could become new york city's next mer after he won the democratic nomination, picked despite a year of bill and protest, schooling to de funds the police. the 2nd time crime is sore and with new york

state, governor cuomo declaring a gun violence disaster emergency. the new democratic new york may or candidate is eric adams, is a 22 year police veteran. currently serving is brooklyn, burke, president, the forefront of his platform is a commitment to combating gun violence. he supports police reform, but he's against the funding. the police. if black lives really matter, it can only be against police abuse. it has to be against the violence that's britting apart our communities. people want to feel safe. right now they don't feel safe. crime is happening all around them. shootings are up. robberies are up, homelessness is up. they see in the subway. they don't feel safe nor subways. they see it out in the streets, in their homes, in the neighborhoods, and they want to feel safe. so this gentleman ran on a platform of public safety and making people feel safe in their resume with them. and that's it. you know, the, to find the police movement has been a large failure. demonizing, an attacking cops has been
11:11 am
a failure. and people are ready for change. and hopefully this is the capital is to some sort of change. it's not just new york polling shows concerns about crime or a 4 year high nationwide who is the homicide rate climbing cross america? chicago's narr asked the president for help, tough to the city. so his blood this weekend on july 4th is more than a 100 people shot. they spin, zig arkham again says action is needed. the virus is right in people's faces. you can put all the crime statistics out there. say your crime is going down. you can have all the feel good moments, but people know what they see. they know they here. and you can deny that. so people definitely want to change. they want some sort of action to be taken. they want to feel safe. that's what's all about public safety. now you're not going to convince someone that just finished watching someone get robbed or know about shooting is going on in the neighborhood that they're safe. they want something done. a judge at the high court in london has

the shaker again hope the regulations will be changed as a result of the tragedy but says there is no guarantee. lol is a bit of a hope. they can look at prosecutor and when the prosecutor is due and the sooner the better to even have the laws change. so people don't have to go through all we have to go for the still so much going on is there is legislation, regulations all out day and need to be updated. the law is where, you know, it's like they go a system from them. so when they take the, the corporate, these high people, you know,

humanity. joe biden assigned a bill that would hand additional financial support to washington's whistleblower program. the braves aimed at improving protection for those who report different types of violations, but his practice is shown isn't what is dimitri park explains. many of those people are in fact punished rather than being supported. whistleblowers like joanna finds, edward snowden and others have long been a thorn in the side of washington. and it seems that no matter what washington does, it just can seem to once in for all this scourge. all these pesky leakers from spilling the beans on the government's darkest secrets. when media alpha pro public dropped its bombshell week revealing how billionaires such as they those mosque, bloomberg sorrows have gone years without paying any federal income tax. what do you think the reaction was?
11:23 am
well, from the public, it was an obvious was to hell, but from the government in investigation. and that's the way this story goes every single time from obama to from been now. biden, public officials don't want to address any of the leaks issues, you know, as for public demand. but were there other find those responsible who dared to unveil the governments dark secrets, the united states do something to stop mister assange? we're looking at that right now. you should be treated as an enemy combatant wiki. lee should be closed down permanently indecisively, disguise a trade or a treasonous. and he has broken every law the united states, the guy ought to be. i'm not for the death penalty. so if i'm not for the defense, i want to do it illegally. shoot the son of a guys. these things are meant to be a secret for a reason. it's so that the government doesn't have to deal with it and can continue doing whatever it wants without people pestering it with nonsense like who this is
11:24 am
unfair. this is on ethical and blah blah blah. of course though, over the years, the government has tried to maintain a facade of being on their side and being supportive of the bravery of truth seekers. it is incumbent on all of us to counter these threats to a free and independent media, including physical risk and arbitrary detention. we celebrate the courage of truth tellers who refused to be intimidated often at great personal risk. but that's just it. it's all a facade. things like the 2012 whistleblower protection act have essentially proven to be useless. whistleblowers continue to face the threat of internal war talia ation and possible prosecution for leaking any or reporting any wrong doings takes natalie edwards, for example. she was an official at the us treasury department. she noticed some suspicious activity reports pointed out that wall street giants like j. p. morgan chase and hsbc, among others have might have been complicit in money laundering. so she took it to
11:25 am
the official whistleblower channels. and guess what happened next? absolutely nothing, but some people do hope that biden might be able to break this trend. why do we work with congress to strengthen our whistleblower laws so that any federal employee who learns of an improper attempt to influence the department of justice, investigation or prosecution knows how to report it and receives full protection against retaliation by any one, including the president. so far, these have only been words, but at the end of the day, it's not even really just up to biden. to fix this, the people leading these investigations and persecuting these pesky truth tellers are all over the executive branch. and biden's administration is literally packed with people who are there at the forefront of the crackdown on whistleblowers during the obama days. and after all, why should any of these officials allow whistleblowers to go public?

products on the market the we need a regulation so we don't do crazy things because maybe sometimes who do crazy things. i don't know, but except that we have regulation. we want regulation of industry and if you don't have the then yes, penalty that's fine. ah, i always say the, the industry makes money. of course it does. if the industry did not make money, how many people will be out of work? i were sort of the last concern, the public interest in the public safety is definitely not taking precedent. corporate interest, corporate profits have been getting priority with a regulator. so that needs to change. and one of the big ways to do that is just require transparency. ah, we, we lost transparency. we would like to publish everything we use. it's just not
11:30 am
allowed. and we cannot say, we don't care. there's intellectual property rights, but we are, if we publish everything it will just be breaking belong. ah, they prefer intellectual property to the house of children. ah, if you make money out of selling pesticide, how much incentive does these companies do these companies have to get us off pesticide? will they make sure that we get use less specified or will they make sure that we use always more to the industry pieces, spend millions of euros in lobbying to delay regulations instead of researching,
