set the kind of work and need it, and those who do it the and the stories and shape the way just gone. a case of negligent homicide is launched after a huge explosion of the chemical plans in germany. left 5 dead greenpeace. describing the possible environmental impact to us. and here the main question arises is an acceptable to place this as it were told the tags near large settlements and elsewhere. wildfires raging and southern turkey kill 6 and what official say. busy is a national disaster, as russian athletes keep not showing up metals at the tokyo olympics. western media and competitors are increasingly seeing read as a question the teams right to be there. and american whistle blow. daniel hale sent him to almost 4 years in prison for leaking information about us throw warfare we

heard from others who also followed the conscience and shed government secret when we kill civilians. and then put in the official reports that they weren't children for example, they were go. that is a war crime. it's really a war on truth, not just with the government. he's out the war with its own people. ah morning love not he's will be sent here. moscow with me, kevin, this is a weekly recap of the top stories he brought you over the last 7 days. confessed that explosion that a major chemical plants in germany, tuesday that happened left 5 people dead and 2 is still missing this weekend. the initial investigation suggest is no risk to public health from toxins with more detailed test expected in the coming days. the site though is one of the largest chemical pugs,

complying $30000.00 workers. more than $5000.00 chemicals were manufactured to the site, including elements for the production of explosives. greenpeace were alarmed voicing concern over the incident. the situation is very difficult from a chemical point of view. it is really possible to imagine the huge catastrophe. we haven't planned for the incineration of hazardous waste. that is precisely those substances that for obvious, reasons should not tend to the environment. they're collected and burned. and it is such a plans that have no suffered and explosion. it was the substances which should not be in the environment. the 3 axes, with each other, burned up and spread in these clouds of gases throughout the region. and when all that the inhabitants did not know what they might be exposed to. after the explosion of the subsequent fire receive incineration plans just behind me, residents were initially told to remain inside. keep that windows and doors closed . a tentative all clear was given following tests that were carried out by the

state and federal environmental protection services. those tests to be looking at the quality of the, the soil as well as looking at rainwater. it's fallen from cloud sort of been in contact with the huge plume of smoke. the enemy emanated from the facility just behind me say they've reported so far, no elevated levels of pollution, but authorities have also said that they're pretty sure the toxins were released into the atmosphere following this fire and explosion. now we have seen a lot of messages being given out to people in the local area, warning them not to eat anything that's being grown in their gardens, in the nearby area. also telling people not to allow children to use play grounds. don't sit in garden furniture or anybody that has a swimming pool in there by god not to use either. there's also being warning about making sure that you take off footwear, outside of your home, if you're in one of the areas with london. now,

despite these warnings being given out, activists told off see that while a number of people still unsure what they should be doing. house uncertainty to rein people wrote to me asking whether they can go out in the gardens and whether we will take more samples. and this worries me, most of all the people remain the dog. and this is not only the fault of the enterprise. after all, the main problem is that no one knows what substances have reacted and what actually happened. and here the main question arises, isn't even acceptable to place this as it were. powder tags, near large settlements, life has pretty much returned to normal in labor cruise, and i'm the surrounding area. we've had condolences being offered to the families of those that died as well as praise for emergency services and rescue is who are on the scene so quickly. but a lot of people looking towards that information we're expecting to here on friday, about long term effects. that could be that this is the most densely populated area

of germany. a lot of people living in the near by surrounding not just of labor, cruise and but also cities like cologne in the why the area of north run with fall wildfires fan, but strong winds have been reeking devastation across southern turkey. the death tolls risen to 6 more than 500 have been treated in the hospital so far on coastal town and 800 nearby villages and districts have been evacuated. the officials are called the situation and the national disaster are also launching investigation into suspicion. those fears those fires rather could have been the result of arson turkeys president earlier indicated that one had been started by children and a cup to seem dropping water on the fire. we got more information in the week from the sea. there were big sources. defects can notify me and the location hold each miller so then

the more cover all their own and they thought people were in the nearby because the people here really trust about and culture should be able to do that. they've got to pick the controls not too far away, troubling greece to where emergency services are also battling to contain raging forest fires on saturday. ablaze broke out and patrice in the west of the country footage, showing burning trees and large plumes, a thick smoke, towering above the great woodland for villages and a terrorist resort. evacuated and around a dozen homes are believed to be lost to the fire. 5 people have been hospitalized with breathing problems. greece has been gripped by a heat wave. no since friday, with temperatures soaring well above 40 degrees celsius.

russian athletes a continuing their impressive metals, whole at the tokyo games. then on saturday, the russian sabre team won gold of victory over france. so far, the 11th gold for the so called russian olympic committee team, which now said, fits in the table, however, to be pretty hard pressed to find money. saluting the success earlier ortiz, you know, nieland's husky tailor talked about it. well, the olympics should be a huge celebration and he asked me, it's all discipline from all over the world coming together at one event showcasing the skills. unfortunately, for russian athletes competing out this, he has turkey games. that just hasn't been the case. the atmosphere has been so hostile, it's been filled with suspicion, criticism, and very little good sportsmanship, both from the global media and of course, the photo competitors. for example, us women, ryan murphy, who lost to a russian, took a veil flight by saying that he probably, that it probably wasn't

a teen race. a comment that he later back tracked on. but by that a british swim, i had also come out and couldn't help. may could dig about state sponsored doping out for the russian who beat them. he said that my bold metal is the combination of nothing but life from dedication yesterday doubles the sport. i have always stood for nothing but clean competition. i have always been tested and i always go out to my documents. i've devoted my entire life to this sport. and i would never be able to forgive myself if i use some doping, so i don't even know how to react to this model. now, while those comments might not seem directed to any one particular asking or country, others very openly was quite frankly, the epitome of a sole lose one us row, for example, said that russians shouldn't even be the seen a crew who shouldn't even be here. walk away with the silver is a master feeling really disappointing overall, and i feel for the other f as in the, a final smell, calmer and might be furious that she's not taking her out when that she was banking

on her belief that russians don't have a right to be there, of course just doesn't reflect reality how much she wants it to. the truth is, russian athletes are allowed to compete, but under certain strict conditions as a result of an ongoing on a reduced number of historically clean russian athletes are allowed to compete as mutual meaning that they've been stripped of them the flag out. of course, the country's name hadn't receive and not russia. but despite this, despite that commitment to the very rules that the international impact committee has set up. and despite the fact that they are the most tested, one of the most tested delegations that they are still daily faced with this wave of bitterness and malice. yeah, new and fair comments, direct or otherwise, as you're saying, indirectly the last number of there, including the swimmers. what's the media? how to say? well, unfortunately, the hostility towards the r a c team is really tenfold in western media. some of the headlines are actually pretty shocking. many of them fairly can disguise that

discussed. the russians have been allowed not to learn that the actually winning metals, beautiful music. and although window dressing such as calling itself the rush and the limpid committee to suggest an appearance of neutrality cannot mask the stench of corruption and appeasement. the i see some type plan completely backfired. it certainly didn't keep the russians. 2 out, and it certainly didn't shame russia were putting, has used the band to pump up nationalistic pride. and that was us, gymnast simone biles had to pull out the media with disappointment, worried about, well, that's paid the way for the russians, which is exactly, of course what happened as they deserved. so if one was hoping that the media would kind of take a step back and just objectively report on the ongoing offence on the trial, on the losses of those lempke as well on fortune. we've been disappointed. i suggest there's a little bit of back story to this as well, right. what, of course, i think most people are why, but this is all the fall out from the uncovering of thought. and that you don't think scheme amongst russian athletes back in 2014 washer was found before we as

many major international sporting events and about will say to reduce to, to yes, no, rush officials did come out. they admitted mistake had been made in the on to doping program, but they also did claim that the band was politically motivated. but the truth is, is that is the past that have been repercussions for that. what's happening now in tokyo was essentially the demonized ation of hundreds of proven clean athletes who up playing by the rules down to a team who are also getting tested repeatedly in the last number of winter and summer. exactly. they are, they are the 3rd, have to team on us and china. so it's real beautification by those athletes by the media and not have to say really as a credit to those are the dates that despite all of this that they've managed to block out all that noise and still keep mounting when a podium independent journalist rick sterling, believes the original message of the olympics is getting lost to unfortunately,

the, the olympics has been politicized very much. you know, it's not new. there's always been a national as component to it. but of course, the olympic games charter calls for bringing countries together and in its intention is to, to promote peace. we need to resist the, the nationalist forces that are trying to politicize and polarize the anti doping situation. and the international sports situation. i think it will be a very good thing when russia is fully reinstated and can participate. we can see the russian flag and the russian national anthem. it's really a shame that the situation is continuing as it is, but hopefully we can get beyond this before too much longer. this got a lot of chattering the way to whistleblower in the us sentence to almost 4 years

in prison for leaking classified information about america's drone program. while serving at the biography base then enough canister, a decade ago, daniel hale helped identify targets for assassination. when he returned home in 2013, he shared secret details about the drone program, with journalists from the intercept, revealing the true extent of civilian casualties in the middle east and africa. in march have pleaded guilty to leaking classified documents, which revealed that 90 percent of strikes had actually hit civilians. the u. s. but god is drone program, julia bomber administration. and since then, this launched more than $14000.00 strikes and i've got to start pakistan on the evan somalia. thousands have been killed with more than 300 children among them. we spoke to whistleblower former us intelligence officer john carrier, who in the week who attended hel sentencing. hearing the mood was one of great apprehension and the courtroom was packed for daniel hale. it was all quite

dramatic, but we were apprehensive because we really didn't have any indication of which way the judge was going to go. and then he surprised everyone by clearing the courtroom and sealing it for 2 hours. while the justice department argued in a classified venue for a sentence of 9 years to me, the fair verdict would have been too, too, for the judge to come off the bench, shake his hand, thank him for his service to the country and let him go home to his family, i didn't think he deserved any prison time at all because he revealed a crime that was being committed by the u. s. government, the crime of, of the murder of innocent civilians. these are war crimes. when, when we know that civilians are within the strike range, that makes it a crime when we kill civilians and then put in the official reports that they weren't children for example, they were go. that is a war crime and it became

a matter of course, it became something that many drone operators and their supervisors were doing ahead of the sentencing hail wrote a letter detailing some of the things he says he witnessed in his work. busy including the death of 2 children in one strike. he also slammed the claim of former president baraka obama, that drone killings abroad, protected americans. the policy of drone assassination was being used to mislead the public that it keeps us safe. whenever i encounter an individual who thinks that drone warfare is justified and reliably keeps america safe, i remember that time and ask myself how i could possibly continue to believe that i am a good person deserving of my life and the right to pursue happiness. please strode circle 24 hours a day and delivering deaths from the skies have turned most of the muslim world against us. it's been completely counterproductive and i think hail understood that and he sought to inform the american public. but we can't have

a debate. we don't know the truth and we know the truth about drones because of encourage of daniel. and it's not just about going after someone like hail, it's really kind of a death blow to the press itself because it prohibits the press from shining a light on the inner workings of ours. it's really the misuse of the espionage act which has been continued another well no whistleblower edward snowden commented on the case to on twitter. he can then the cause decision and praised hail. we got reaction as well from brandon bryan to form a us drone operator himself who also lifted the lid on what his work involved. he says, sir, the choice between ignoring civilian killings and making the public aware. and in this case, his conscience made up his mind. it's really a war on, through the night just whistle blowers. we've got people that have been propagating this war over in the middle east for almost 2 decades. now. the government is at

war with its own people. if you can, you're part of the machine. the car runs this machine, yet you have to bear witness for the not just unfeeling part of the machine, your feelings. and eventually you have to find yourself in the middle of that storm and be like, you know, this, i have to do, i have to do this because if i don't do it, who is going to, i find it strange that conscientious individuals that are inside the program that are trying to hold us accountable for the obvious blayton war crimes that we are out there doing are being punished. and it seems that they're punishing people in order to make them an example. and that really does disturb me, especially if america supposed to be this great country and freedom fighter amongst the world. how we're punishing our own people who are trying to do the cilla had this sunday morning, august the 1st with me, kevin. now in high their pictures,

you may find upsetting. a more of a top storage to the last 7 days. then police brutality in america captured on camera, the violence arrest of a colorado man as the officers involved facing charges. after the break with in the old days before breaks it because the u. k was attached to the e u. they could do it. other countries do, which is to take all their debts and dump it into this giant shadow banking system that covers the world's largest trading block. and you could kind of buy some time there because the c b is printing and buying and monetizing debt by the trillion. christine the garden, literally just buying trillion control of garbage debt. but now post practice, they don't have that way to wash the debts into the greater he,

you laundromat. and so that is going to for the 1st time post break, the debts are going to start to cause a lot of pain. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics, sport, business and show business. i'll see you then in the moon. ah, another act of police brutality has been caught on camera in the united states to offices in colorado have been charged over the violent arrest of an armed mixed race man. morning you may find the following video disturbing. oh,

what do i do now? i do put your hands on for you. okay. don't stop on it. oh, oh, oh, i don't. the police officers identified the suspect kyle vincent is being wanted by the authorities for several offences. after 2 other men fled seems vinson apparently appeared to initially comply with the officers commands during the arrest, but then resisted war being handcuffed. he was subsequently choked, forced face down on the ground, and pistol whipped by an officer, been some then taken to a hospital leading treatment. the officers in question have since been charged with use of excessive force and the roar of police chief is strongly condemn. the conduct does not police work. we don't train. this is not acceptable. the definition of police were jelly is itself is

a problem. you weren't you, you use the force necessary to effect in a rust. you keep yourself safe to keep the citizen safe and you actually keep the person that you're arresting safe. the job of the police officer, the street cop is not the punish. that's the job of the courts to white edition, not a punishment for conviction if so, if a police officer was aware, as was in the case of derek shelven, that he was being video cameras, right. your body cameras recording you and they were this comfortable with their actions. that is a serious epidemic, a serious problem. and then police officers history needs to be looked into. we need to look at how many other times that person been accused or have they taken excessive force beyond the level of what they were lawfully around the allowed to use. because if somebody feels this comfortable to get this out of control on video camera guarantee is that the 1st time they've done this. as an incident like us defined, the police movement is not properly communicated to the public de, from the police moment as a political card. it's what the politicians are using to wind up bolstering your

base for more voting. it really just removes programs funding for certain areas for police officers. tuesday saw the 1st hearing of a special us congressional panel tasked with investigating the capitol hill right back in january. emotions are running high during the session, although it seems not everyone was convinced by the words heard with some view as even calling it a performance. in a democracy is or not defined. by our bad days, we're defined by how we can backs and bang the bad days. how we take accountability for that. i have faith because of folks like you and i am, i don't expect us will be great. so mostly, but it's mostly an adam, a thing today. especial commission consists then of lawmakers from both parties, but critics claim their minds already made up with most known for their anti trump

views. he's kind of mope and follow the developments for us as congress here is testimony about the events of january 6. it seems we've been hearing both police officers and politicians crying their eyes out. i was assaulted in nearly killed. i lost my life. there was a very good chance i would be torn apart. this is how i'm going to die. defending the sanctions. the indifference shown to my colleagues is disgraceful. some are looking at this panel and saying it's simply impartial. we're not hearing both sides of the story. questions about about what kind of went wrong and whether or not the capital police allowed the protesters to enter. if they made a mistake or, or if somehow the doors were left on guarded, what exactly happened? people are looking at. this is saying it's not an impartial hearing. it's speaker the house nancy pelosi was being widely blamed for the fact that you can gresham committee investigating the january 6 events which is convening today's hearing contains only anti trump republicans. it is a bipartisan panel,

but there are no trump supporters represented on it. there are simply anti trump democrats, as well as anti trump. republicans, this seems to be what congress is focusing on at the moment. the mid surging coven cases, a continued migrant surge on the us border. rising inflation and poll saying that more than half the country say things are moving in the wrong direction. that is not what congress is focusing on. rather they have decided to re live and rehash the events of january 6th on capitol hill. roy, this story to almost 200 illegal border crossings in one single day. that's what missy raimie is currently facing. the total number of detain migrants like kings a $3000.00 this summer in european nation. well, vilnius has been denied for bringing in drastic measures to try to stand the flow to charlotte davinsky in the week found that the e u has dramatically shifted its position on the issue of like you opinions say

that for us to be in school. however, for some countries being in the gang seems of more benefits done. but others have a current situation in this way year, which is struggling at the moment with an influx of migrant. difficult times call for difficult decisions. this will drastically change the way new immigration policy. it includes the tension of migrant a bond on the release of those who are in detention for 6 level. they will be no right to a translator to obtain information about the process. they will also curb the right to appeal decisions and to allow for deportation while lose appeals of being examined. do whatever it takes to absolutely ensure that only people who are persecuted for political reasons and have a good ground to look for

a political shelter stay here. has been created specifically to deal with my goodness, coming over from neighboring batteries. it's awaiting you and you accuse minutes of using them as a political tool as relations continue to sour. but critics say the law is a step to for the law as a potential human rights violation. and it doesn't correspond to you directives, it and tries the current bad situation in lithia and in the tense centers in law and lives vulnerable people in and even more vulnerable situation. there is even criticism from the way news form a chair of the constitutional court. the proposals which are unconstitutional are based on the promise that all foreigners who cross the border are 2nd class human beings not entitled to constitutional rights conditions in the must detention centers have also been denounced with allegations,

the migrants are being stripped to fact telephones that they can only got signed for one hour a day, pressure that some say has led to people attempting to take that law. everyone detained in this building is suffering psychologically. i already ran away from iraq, since it's a prison, it is the same here. meanwhile, lithuania is embarking on a massive project to keep wouldn't be migrant out. a plan to cover almost the entirety of its food with batteries, with a raise, a wire. so what do you think with you and use border is an external you border which is currently experiencing an unprecedented influx of migrants and asylum seekers. these people, many of them vulnerable need urgent support, such as food and shelter. the european union and other member states will not leave with you and you're alone in this difficult situation. very supportive, doesn't it?

except one another in human hungry took a similar action, only use external border with serbia following a wave of migration in 2015. the tone from brussels couldn't be any more different. we cannot accept the basic values of the european union, a being so seriously breached any one like hungry who built fences against war, refugees, or breaches. press freedom and the independence of the justice system should be temporarily or permanently excluded from the you. last year's top court found hungry, guilty of breaking, assign the rules. it says it's mashed up the lose of protecting vulnerable migrant by denying them the right to apply for asylum and by forcibly to putting them. meanwhile, as other states, such as greece also look to build rules on the use external border to keep migrant

out. russell's hasn't so much as batted and eyelid leading some to feel that in the you know, partnerships are indeed equal it aide. well that's just not short of the way the week handout is brought to you by us into national moscow. my name is kevin, thanks for watching programs this sunday. have a great rest of the weekend this august. the me i rather driven by dreamers shaped by 10 percent of those with the in me dares thing. we dare to ask me.

oh right now there are 2000000000 people who are overweight or obese. it's possible to sell food that is fatty and sugary and faulty and addicted . not at the individual level. it's not individual willpower. and if we go on believing that will never change, that industry has been influencing very deeply. the medical and scientific establishment ah, what's driving the obesity epidemic? it's corporate, me ah .
