i miss the thing in the stories has shaved the week just gone. a case of negligent homicide is launched for a huge explosion of the chemical plants in germany. left 5 dead, green pace alarmed describing the possible environmental impact to us. and here the main question arises, is it's an acceptable to places as it were told to tags. near large settlements wildfires raging southern turkey kill 6 water official say is a national disaster a sporting hero all week will in the face of a challenge. well, opinion big tom divided over that saw us good enough who's quit 2 more olympic finals of a mental health concerns. while in other news, the german competitors in tokyo make a stand again, sexism. we debate to what's already being done. the woke games are becoming

increasingly dominated by politic too. i think it's a great opportunity. we've seen so many changes already, and i'm not worried. well, it should be confirmed because we don't want to be just a vehicle for the latest plan that comes along. america whistleblower daniel hale has been sentenced to almost full years in prison for leaking information about us drug warfare. we heard from others who also followed their conscience and shed government secret when we kill civilians. and then put in the official report that they weren't children, for example, they were goes, that is a war crime. it's really a war on truth, not just with the government. it's at war with its own people. ah, hello live from ortiz will be said the re moscow with me, kevin. oh,

this is the weekly recap of the top stories. who brought you over the last 7 days? first? that massive explosion of the major chemical plant in germany. on tuesday, left 5 dead and 2 is still missing this weekend. initial investigation suggested no risk to public health from talk since with more detailed tests expected to the coming days about. the site is one of the largest chemical parks in europe employed 30000 workers. while the $5000.00 chemicals were manufactured at the site, including elements for the production of explosives, greenpeace voice its concern over what happened. the situation is very difficult for mechanical point of view. it is really possible to imagine a huge catastrophe. we haven't found for the incineration of hazardous waste. that is precisely those substances that for obvious, reasons, should not enter the environment. they're collected and burned, and it is such a plan that has no stuff. it's an explosion. it was the substances which should not be in the environment. that reacted with each other,

burned up and spread in these clouds of gases throughout the region. and we know that the inhabitants did not know what they might be exposed to after the explosion of the subsequent fire receive incineration plan 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 would be looking at the quality of the, the soil as well as looking at re, was set. 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, that pretty sure the toxins that 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 playgrounds, don't city garden furniture or anybody that has a swimming pool in the garden. not to use that either. there's also being warnings 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 of sold off, see that while a number of people still unsure what they should be doing. house uncertainties to rain. 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 of an acceptable to place this as it were? powder kegs 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 in elsewhere. wildfires sun by strong winds reeking devastation across southern turkey. the death toll this so far reason to 6, no more than 500 have been treated that hospital so far to a coastal town in 18 nearby villages and districts have been evacuated. officials of coal, the situation, a national disaster, and launching an investigation into suspicion. some of those files were the result of awesome. i think turkey's president, you're indicating

a one i've been started by, children, helicopters seem dropping water on the fires. we got more information from the c. there were big sources and the facts. as you can see, the notice we me and the location hold each miller. so then the small cover all their own. and they thought that people were in the nearby said, because those are the people here really stressed about and culture 3 should be able to do that. they've got to pick the controls. one drama to another, the tokyo olympics next. stop us, jim simone ballston sensationally, pulling out a 2 more finals 1st. she withdrew from the gym, gnostics team event on tuesday, and afterwards from the all round competitions, to quote focus on mental health. it's now left to see whether or not she'll be able

to participate in the coming weeks finals. while some observers say this moves her greatest achievement, yet others claim she's let her teammates down when they needed her most. i say put mental health 1st because okay, sometimes they even sit out the big competitions to focus on yourself on tuesday doing the talk you lympics individual all around competition and women's gymnastics simone. bias one of the greatest athletes to ever grace the sport for time on the big champion, quite surprisingly for many decided to withdraw from the, from the round and eventually the russian team or r o c. if you may, 1 gold in that discipline. first, that was cited us simone biles decided to withdraw to medical reasons. then it became clear as cited by the teams entourage and by bio self that this was a mental health issue. it has created quite a whirlwind of reaction. there are those who are strongly accusing and abusing

simone bias for withdrawing that i would say spearheaded by peers, morgan, a famous u. k. tv host, who well just fell short of accusing someone violence of being a chicken chicken out on her team. and i saw something that serial winners do on mental health issues. now the go to excuse for any poor performance in elite sport . was a joke. just admits you didn't badly made mistakes and was trying to do better next time. kids need strong role models, not this nonsense. obviously that has created huge responds online and even some mainstream media jumped in. and if you look at the language that some of the mainstream media like washington, both many others used, you would think that simone bio is actually one a gold metal, rather than pulling out from the competition. whenever biles pulls on her leotard, it says, though she's tighten in a cape round her neck, she's the hero tasked with save in

a solid sport embodying some tried believe in american dominance, and also carrying agenda and an entire race. that's a heavy cape and it chokes. but it one that exceptional black women and women of color are told to wear because simply being great isn't good enough. for some reason, many of those media and ponder and commentators also decided to bring in her agenda her race into the story which is already creating another type of backlash because people cannot understand what is her decision to withdraw from one particular competition. something she has been preparing for for quite a while, because the lympics is quite important for any athlete in the world has to do with who she has, her skin color and things like that. so it's definitely creating a major rift, and we have to wait and see whether simone biles decides to continue in this lympics as she's a 4 time a champion in the olympics already. and obviously all eyes are on her in the u. s.

thinking that she could win more, she went on instagram recently just saying how much of that weight on her shoulder is being hard on her. and may be this rift with such reactions coming from both sides would create even more pressure for the 24 year old gymnast with a very difficult boss. already sushi, discuss the developments for the panel of guests mental health issue of simone biles, as she withdrew. i mean, this must be in a very, very difficult decision for gigi think perhaps she's set an example by doing this is a topic has to be over the years. and only recently are we talking to accept people with mental health? and i think they lim picked the examples. why not expect i really feel that especially americans, they, they think they really try the years and years and they carry the contra shoulders is okay to be like, okay, i have mental health. i'm not going to be able to call the fact that she has

withdrawn, has bought further attention to her. i mean, if she's sort of quietly underperformed and perhaps explained to the media that she does, this is just one of those events. you can't be at her peak all the time and then quietly slipped away fine, but she really has made an announcement him put mental health health back on the map again. so the importance of mental health issue obviously shouldn't be underestimated. but perhaps of putting that on the lympics as well is perhaps too much. it's a sporting event. it should be kept as a sporting events. if one is not ready for it really shouldn't, shouldn't be that. you could only find out sometimes, but you're not ready for it. when you're there already. meantime, german gymnast have chosen to wear full body unit todd's, instead of the more traditional the katie car leotard, that decision was made to protest the supposed sexualization of athletes. and while some find the move and important step towards equality,

others say it's just another case of trying to make sport political. so what about panel? think about the increasing attention being paid at the games to non sporting matters that this whole issue of uniform and the sexualization of women has to go quite soon. and it can be so very simply, he just say here the uniformed men and women, no different, any sport that tries to segregate male and female on the basis of uniform is really back in the 20th century. one of the biggest things about the pattern and your scale, it doesn't actually, and that's what you're judging, not charging the uniform and what, what people don't realize the sexualization of women when they can be very self conscious when wearing we're beating clothing, which my actually performance so really, if you really care about the school and the athletes and then we should allow them to feel confident and what they wearing doing a bit of a problem be on the one hand the olympics is designed to extol, abuse in the perfection of the human body operating at peak efficiency,

so it's there to be admired. while the other hand, we have contributed silly things, who may feel uncomfortable with that being a limb. in particular, maybe there's a case of some element of choice, but at the same time we don't want to lose the essence of what they're lympics is. are you afraid perhaps that non sport issues or political ones in particular for example, could, could become main talking points in the future olympics? no, i'm not worried. i think it's a great opportunity. we've seen so many changes already. i'm not worried. i still feel like eventually it will kind of not 5 down, but you respect respect and i'm happy to different hillan picks. that's pretty that way. it's everyone watching on tv and watching, you know, 68 tests and say to stadium with everything they can come, pretend i'm enjoying it as much as i do. other olympics i have to say, well it should be confirmed because we don't want to be just

a vehicle for the latest. 5 that comes along. lympics should represent social moles as they changed, but i need to present its own century old brand needs to keep, continue to keep that. wow. so that we have when we see the olympics there with their own specific procedures and, and, and habits and ways. and that's the beauty olympics, that's what we want to say. we don't want to make it to the temporary to transience and justice waveform insane. the whistleblower in the u. s. sentence. and almost 4 years in prison for leaking classified information about america's drone program. while serving in the bathroom had base enough canister a decade ago, daniel hale helped identify targets for assassination. when you return home in 2013, he shared those 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 hale was pleading guilty to leaking classified documents, which revealed at 90 percent of strikes of actually hit civilians. the u. s. began

is drone program during the bomber administration, and since that is loans more than $14000.00 strikes enough, gonna stand pakistan yemen, somalia, thousands have been killed along the way with more than $300.00 children among the victims. we spoke to whistle blower and for us intelligence officer john kerry accurate in the week who attended hale 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 court room 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 to, to, 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 rage, 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. hell, wrote a letter detailing some of the things he said he witnessed in his work, including the death of 2 children in one strike. he also slammed the claim of former president barack obama, the 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 depths from the skies have turned most of the muslim world against us. it's been completely counterproductive and i think hale understood that and he sought to inform the american public. but we can't have a debate if we don't know the truth and we know the truth about drones because of the courage of daniel. and it's not just about going after someone like hale, 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 power. it's really the misuse of the espionage act which has been continued and other well. no. whistler, edward snowden, commented on the case till on twitter. he condemned the court decision and praised

hale. we got reaction as well from brandon bryant, a former us drone operator himself, who also lifted the lid on what his work involved. he told us in the choice between ignoring civilian killings and making the public aware it was his conscience that made up his mind. it's really a war on truth, not 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 some 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

ourselves are doing are being punished and it seems that there are 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 still ahead this august the 1st with me, kevin. now in pictures you may find upset again more of the stories of the last 7 days. police brutality in america captured on camera violence arrest of a colorado mine is the officers involved facing charges now ah, ah. will be someone like me seeking the best rights for, for people children and that should have the best

education as theirs to eval. if the time about and continue to oppose back, this will get confronted. but i want to confront dition to be political if they don't allow us to continue to, to, to seek their own. don't the nation of a scanner the way they incorporate that will give rise to a nation uprising without a doubt. and i'll be want to use so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have is crazy. plantation let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk

the again, thanks for watching today. another act of police brutality has been caught on camera in the u. s. 2 officers in colorado have been charged over the violent arrest of an armed mixed race man. warning you may find this video coming up disturbing. oh, what do i do? oh oh i do put your hands on front of you. okay. don't stop it all. 6 don't have the police officers identified the suspect call. vincent has been wanted by the authorities of several offences. after 2 other men fled, vincent then appeared initially to comply with the officers commands during the arrest, but then resisted well being handcuffed. he was subsequently choked, forced faced down on the ground and pistol whipped by an officer. vincent was then taking a hospital leading treatment. the officers in question have since been charged with

use of excessive force and the aurora police chief, a strongly condemned their 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 are 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 car is not the punish. that's the job of the courts. so white edition, not a punishment for conviction. if so, if a police officer was aware, as was in the case of derrick shelven, that he was being video camera right. your body cameras recording you and they were this comfortable with their actions. there 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 is 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's 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, the defined, the police movement is not properly communicated to the public de, from the police moment is 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. we reported on this to almost 200 illegal border crossings in one single day. that's what this is. amy is currently facing with a total number of detain migrant spiking a $3000.00 this summer in the european nation. well, vilnius has been denounced for bringing and drastic measures to try to stem the flow. now to show davinsky in the week, found that the e u is dramatically shifted its position on the issue of late. your opinion, st said full, all supposed to be cool. part is however, for some countries being in the gang seems of more benefits done for others. take

the current situation in this way, 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 ban on the release of those who are in detention for 6 level. it will be new right to a translator, to obtain information about the asylum process. they will also curved the right to appeal decisions and to allow for deportation while is appeals at being examined, do whatever it takes to absolutely ensure that only people qual, 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, lithuania,

and you accuse minutes can be using them as a political to as relations continue to sour. critics say the law is a step to fall 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 detention centers in law and lives vulnerable people in and even more vulnerable situation even criticism from the way news form a check 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 have 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 the law. i have

everyone detained in this building is suffering psychologically. i already ran away from iraq since it's a prison. it is the same here. clean while alyssa wayne is embarking on a massive project to keep and wouldn't be migrant out, a plan to cover almost the entirety of its food with salaries, with a breeze wire. so what do you think? let's 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 think that 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 to seen any

more different. we cannot accept the basic values of the european union, a being so seriously breached. and he won 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 all. the years top court found hungry, guilty of breaking, assign the rules. it says it's mashed up the lose or protecting vulnerable migrant by denying them the right to apply for asylum and by forcibly to putting them. meanwhile, as you state, which is greece also look to build rules only use external border to keep migrant out. brussels hasn't so much as batted and eyelid leading some to feel that in the, you know, partnerships are indeed equal. yes. same. so that's

a snapshot of the way the weak pound is brought to by us into nationally. moscow, i can tell you colleen bracer in half an hour after that for the evening. it says kids. hello, great line up for you. my name is kevin. oh, in thank you for watching programs this sunday and have a great rest of the weekend. i oh right now, there are 2000000000 people who are overweight or obese. if possible, to sell food that is fatty and sugary and pulpy and addicted. not at the individual level. it's not individual willpower. and if we go on believing that will never change as obesity epidemic, that industry has been influencing very deeply. the medical and scientific

establishment, ah, what's driving the obesity epidemic? it's corporate. me join me on the alex famine show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. me the me the me a 100 welcome to the parts with american decision to pull out. sure. first from ghana stand and now from iraq,

the era of $911.00 has abruptly compton and there is no longer listed among the helps for us to the united states. although it claims more lives around the world in 20 years ago. what have the last tuesday gets mad for the people living on the front lines of the war on terror? or to discuss that i'm now joined by i've got some former president to me because i, mr. president is great to talk to you. great to see you in moscow again. good, good. let me start with a question about allowed because over the last couple of years you weren't shy in saying the americans have out stayed the welcome, but there was a welcome in the beginning, including a welcome from your personal restraint. very strong. do you think there was ever a good time to leave given how they came into your account.
