the the, the terrors playing i'd spun bars are t investigates that growing cases of drums, gender identified convicts working the system to take advantage of women and female jewels. in the 1st part of our in depth series, we hear from a women's rights activists. predators are willing to say anything to get access to women and been to her some further the oh, girl boils on the streets of from so when you anti cove, it measures making it mandatory to show at health path to access restaurants, hotels, and even see doctors and also coming up in the program, the relentless march of wildfires that are continuing to wreak devastation in

eastern russia and cloak cities in smoking correspond reports from the region in order to fully finish them. you would need to go up because they're not just burning on the surface. they're burning underground. ah, 247. use live from the russian capital. this is your r t international pleasure to have your company. i'm, you know, neil today r t is launching a special project. we're looking at the issue of transgender conflicts, abusing women prisoners or correspondents southgate taylor has been investigating a rising number of such cases, which has been done by women's rights activists as a harsh show. oh i and phones over where

to house sex change prisoners are particularly high in california with are being numerous complaints from inmates there being a number of recent cases that might explain that worries me ah ah, they're getting a full erection. she locked in this room 247 with the man. and there is nothing you can do about it. the nobody cares about josh, we a danger here. there were never lead mails with full mail and that to me, sharon showers with us in

a group shower room yet now men can share our showers. me the proven sexual probably haven't committed multiple crimes against women yet the state of washington had no problem moving him into women's facility. ah, we asked us prison authorities to comment on the allegations on what exactly the policies are when it comes to transgender inmates will. of course, let you know when they get back to us earlier, i had the chance to speak to penny nuns, who is the ceo and president of the concerned women for america activist group. now she's worried to some male inmates might change the gender identity, sympathy, so as to take advantage of incarcerated women. so issue before us right now is whether or not women who are incarcerated women who have no choice for being in

prison and how long they're there have no rights are being protected against biological men. we can see the biological disparities, the size, the strengths of man versus women. this is changing in our country and which now men who simply identifies women. they don't have to take any surgical measures in the state of california and other states when someone simply identifies as a woman in that predators are willing to say anything to get access to women and to hurt them further. i recently read a statistic that said in the united states, about 80 percent of women who incarcerated se at some point in their life they've already been sexually assaulted. these are women who are already very troubles. there's no excuse in which a person who is biologically male or biologically female should be victimized in prison if the prison system would take the issue of safety more seriously than that,

then that concern would be met. i again, there's no excuse for allowing someone to be victimized in prison. there must be common sense met and used in dealing with people who are. they're locked away. they cannot leave and we must take measures to keep them say cases of the legit abuse of women by tons to the people in jail have left some incense in light of a controversial bill passed in california at the start of the year. the law that's trans inmate's request to transfer to facilities, but align with that gender identity effectively allowing male prisoners to move to female jails. since the law was passed around $300.00 such requests have already been submitted. and as of june this year, non have been rejected by your forty's. california is the latest you state to adopt

such legislation. similar in may housing policies also exist in connecticut, new york city, massachusetts, and new jersey and women's rights groups are alarmed that other parts of the country might follow suit. the definition of trans janda is dangerously inclusive and california department of corrections and rehabilitation. these are basically heterosexual man, ruining this paternity for the trans community to be safe. and now they have a big pool of potential victims, males to not self declaring themselves out of maleness, the yes, shouldn't fall, kelly for you here into this horror. in the meantime though, i want to bring in now legal unless jennifer them off on women's right advocate and political unless rece addison always good top a few on the program. i'm jennifer off up with you. how do you view california phil? 13, to many claim that it sets a heretic precedent for the country. do you agree? i agree, in the sense that the president, this is so in the law is so actually broad and generic. you're not looking for any

sort of justification or behind. you can really put other people in danger, while also insulting people who truly do struggle with it by using something that they truly do have something that they truly do identify and have identified with the young age in order to fulfill something that's going to bring harm to others, we're putting these women at risk and it's unsafe if you're responsible in california, certainly all the women in that state better and they are failing miserably right now. do you think that there is a concern that heretic stories like the ones that are merging, that they can do pretty irreparable damage to an entire transgender community, doing ripley, the damage not only to the transgender community, to, to people who have, have been going through their transgender, their, their changes, you're dealing utilizing them, and you're actually going to start to demonize them by using them as a class. where do you think there is a good commit violence against women are not only harming the real transgender

community? people are kicking, you're the, you're harming women, you're harmony, everybody else provide long time women, all this. he felt on hud. they felt forgotten about. they felt use they felt vulnerable, then they became empowered. and now suddenly it feels like a trend is going in the opposite direction. is that how it looks to you? there has been of drive to be the most possible inclusive in california, specifically. and here's where we're running into issues. we're not protecting women, we're not protecting those who were born women. and we have to understand that there is a distinction between those who identify as women and those who are genetically women. and that, that the harm can exist between those who are just attempting to present themselves as women, so that they can escape being housed with other men and been being a rooster in the hen house. and basically whether they want to escape other harm from other men or just come into the female prison and be

a predator. we open the door to that, and that's problematic. and, and because we're so, you know, in the effort of being so inclusive, we're not realizing the harm on the back in that is being, cause this is katie, such a complicated issue. so what's the solution here? is that single sex prisons because, you know, when you read a lot, a lot of trans inmate say i don't feel safe anyway. so how do we make sure that everyone does feel safe? yes, we have male person, we have female person. that's how it's been because we know that that works better, but maybe having other facilities or individuals that i identify it's trans, making sure there is better security for some of these people. i don't know, maybe even looking into their medical records, not just taking somebody from california, going to that basically you can get a piece of paper and check a box and then be have the bunch of women that you can victim i. that's not ok. but there are ways that you can look into somebody's medical history and psychological record. that's what it's supposed to do to verify what they think about their,

their identity or their gender. that's what we need to do. i mean, what do we met with everything else? just to look into what somebody says, not just taking them at their word and make sure that there is some kind of verification for the r t as keeping close tabs on benson this fair. and you can be sure that will be returning to this topic in future broadcasts. me . wildfires are continuing to around age the far east of russia leaving a trail of ash and devastation in their wake. more than one and a half 1000000 hectares have been consumed by the flames. over the past 3 months, the fires have left nearby cities blanketed in choking smoke or corresponding dmitri polk reports from the front line where some 3 fellows and people are bustling nature's fury. just arrived at the campsite were supposed to be saying, but apparently we might actually have to evacuate right now because the fire is

already near the camp. the firefighters are trying to balance right now. but as you can see behind me, its spreading really fast, like that tree just caught on fire and like less than a minute. with the fire spreading really quickly to wind and still really dry. there's still been no rain. and the, the reason for a while for over a month me the listing, if it were really nice people here now the fires cover a very large area. it's hard to keep the track. it's almost impossible. i don't know how we can manage that whole water with

a hand pump. but this, by being very primitive, is one of the most effective things they have. right now we're going through a fire that we are still battling. it's taking a while. it's been way recent hours since we got here. we're still battling the fire me so basically we go round around, around the fire. we see some flame at them. so ahead and with some water. but some of these are actually routes on fire. and in order to fully finish them, you would need to go up because they're not burning on the surface. they're burning under ground. me

just finish battling one fire and then literally like 2 minutes later there was another one just 20 meters to the left. and there's just not enough people right now in this camp to be dealing with all this effectively. thankfully this is a bottom fire. so they call it, it's basically when the ground is burning, as opposed to a top fire where the top of the trees is burning, which is the most dangerous thing there is. because if we pick that up, it's pretty much unsolvable difficulties. these guys are having is basically, there is not enough people and the equipment they have, or, i mean there's not that many ways to fight fire. basically with the use of the backpacks with 20 leaders in it. and they use that texting and a pump attach that backpack, and they use it to spray water on the fire. the other one is these shuttle where they, they got a trench, so the ground fire will stop. basically, they get rid of all them on the grass, the branches, the leaves,

everything that could be set on fire instantly. that's pretty much how these people have been battling all these fires for the past 4 months. the dmitri poke giving us that 1st hand look at what is happening. indeed. wildfires are plaguing various countries. right now. one of the worst hit in europe is, greece. locals have joined the efforts of firefighters there in attempting to feed back the flames. thousands of people including tourists, something like you aided from affected areas homes, power lines have been destroyed and more than $56000.00 hectares are said to have gone up in flames. in the last 10 days alone, while smoke has swept across nearby cities, including the capitol, athens, fire fighters from the u. k. fronts, romania and switzerland have been sent to help tackle the disaster

moving the program. now the u. s. recently hit its self imposed debt ceiling, but that is not stopping democrats from pushing ahead with an infrastructure package costing at trillion dollars. the senate has even silence debates on the legislation. on top of that, the democrats are feeling bullish enough to ask for more than one another. spending package totaling 3 and a half trillion. it will all ultimately require having to increase. that's named debt ceiling. but republicans are having none of it. if they don't get more of a say in the money spent, if they don't need on our input, we are help with a debt limit increase that recklessly because he's reckless plans. you will require well, the debt ceiling limits the amount the u. s. government can oh, it was reinstated last week after a 2 year suspension. the figure was automatically recalibrated to equal the current

debt level, forcing the treasury to call farm for government bills. financial guru, mux kaiser, who's been watching events on full with some interest. so if the u. s. has no choice, it just has to keep on borrowing b u. s. economy in conjunction with most of the west is one enormous ponzi scheme that need fresh money to keep that ponzi scheme. going, if you take the contact from, you understand that 0 percent interest rate and global that the g d p is over 300 percent and the ability to pay back any of these loans is berkeley darrow. you can understand why now the debt in the u. s is going to start to become hyperbolic, and this is having an interesting corollary. and that is causing a real inflation because it's all that money printing attempting to tamp down the debt, which is causing people at the shops of the gas station. and notice that the price of living is going up precipitously. and this is causing a real, causing

a real damage in america right now. i think they're going to get to the point where they're going to eliminate the idea of it's dealing. and they're just simply going to say that we're going to engage and unlimited on encumbered money printing and debt creation. and you can stop upon the game. there's only one way to this ends and that is through a massive default. and because the us doesn't want to experience that there are simply going to print to infinity. so the us, the us dollar becomes like that as well and all of our or other hyper inflationary currencies. and that's what we're looking at right now in the u. s. and other countries, we just have to look at the usage of the dollar global. and you notice that in the last 20 years has come down every year. every 2 years has come down. russia has completely out of the us dollar. and this, that's them up to be in an interesting situation as you see more of cooperation with china, russia, iraq, they don't want to be involved in the dollar because the us weaponized the dollar

by sanctioning by interfering and swift, the global money transfer mechanism. and by playing politics and by getting in the way, so these countries that you know what we need our own system. so they're creating or on system astellas done is descending into a situation so catastrophic it would have few parallels this century. that is the extraordinary, really dire warning from the un special invoice to the country. more than a 1000 civilians, something killed in the past month as the taliban moved to fill the void left by the polite of western forces. after a series of rapid advances in rural areas, over the past few weeks, the insurgents are not targeting more populated areas with the key northern ton of conduce becoming the 3rd provincial capital seized in the last 3 days. that taliban has taken control of the governor's office and police headquarters with bustle still going on in part. according to reports, 14 people have been killed,

including women and children, and more than 30 injured. you can see the scenes of destruction really, your apartment in conductors, buildings in ruins or indeed a police. a local journalist sent us a report in the fall of going to a city where the taliban have been able to take control. busy of most of the city as well as government buildings come in, a quick succession. the city of fall upon which is the capital of the province just next door, also fell to the taliban. and what we also hearing from one officials in a place like condos in the hot that there are also strikes by the americans, as well as by the african government. the cause of this war for ordinary ones for businesses, is simply too much. we also heard from the tall about issuing a statement in the city of telephone, instructing its fighters not to take revenge,

not to torture, a new one, and not to go to people's homes. title cotton is a city which was the home of former northern lights. leaders and commanders who fought against the taliban in the 1990 s. these are also provinces that have provided soldiers to the african national security forces. but the worry of ordinary i've won even in a place like cobble is quite clear. john of the americans made a bad decision because they left abruptly and paved the way for the taliban to launch an immediate attack. the taliban don't differentiate between the government and public property and infrastructure. they burned down by the old in the or in situation. the withdrawal of americans is pretty, very costly for us guns. the fighting has gained the property. it spread with high intensity across all of our gamma stem. i'm going to kind of run from when the americans came to the dentist on. they came to defeat terrorism for 20 years, have passed and the americans haven't defeated terrorism said terrorism has

strengthened regional and global terrorism was turned of can. it's down into a hub of kara, the people of afghanistan are being looted and mercilessly kills. and public infrastructure is being destroyed. now you are seeing people standing up to the taliban in some area. these are former northern lights, leaders and commanders. not necessarily only in nor do in other parts as well. that gets my hon is fighting against them. now 4 weeks actually in the city head as well as the african government and then the americans are carrying these strikes. but it is important to point out that urban attacks are becoming more and more regular for the taliban. a retired us army officer. it gives his take on this spiraling situation in afghanistan, in the latest episode of ortiz going underground. you can watch it later in the day here in our t, but for now, here's a quick preview. you will change obviously on us troops fleeing in the

dead of night from afghanistan. will you fought for the u. s. army? well, i think it's, it's a tragedy for the young people, but it's been an ongoing tragedy in general that there's been 40 years of war. i think the american troops leaving the dead of night is a fitting way for the imperial us sort of forces to go with this war. it's been over for 10 years or longer when, you know, when i fought there in 2011. well, that was the height of the u. s. troop presence and we barely controlled anything but the ground we stood on. i'm for the withdrawal. i don't think that america can meaningfully influenced the outcomes in afghan us than and the whole thing is a tragedy. but more so for the people of afghan, stan, i support the withdrawal, but we're, we're going out with our table to in our legs, which is surprising to people who weren't paying attention. i think so, the fact that the united states really has really is not achieved anything in afghanistan. things are worse essentially than, than we found it or, or been,

we founded in february 2002 in combat operations were declared over you, taught to people who fight for the united states and you use the word imperial. that is not the rhetoric we hear from the hillary clinton's of this world and the liberal interventionists at all. it's trying to actually, net countries govern themselves is the whole idea. right? i mean, the polite liberals and the polite imperialists as i call them, or the white interventionist they. they always come up with rhetoric to justify these interventions. but 11 looks at the practical end of it and for better or worse my life, really, my adult life was spent the practical point, the end of the sphere. it looked a lot like invasion, occupation, and sort of, you know, a brand of imperialism. anti corona virus measures are again being tightened in france with

a set of new rules coming into force today. i don't harris's and restaurants, hotels, long distance transport and even medical facilities will not require a code with help pass for access. the plans had already sparked a wave of anger nationwide several weeks ago, which has been simmering. ever since. the big numbers of people out there as well. no since july 21st to help us has been

required for cinema theaters, museums, but no, it's obligatory for cafes and restaurants. inner city transport and holiday resorts . so far though, it won't be needed for the metro systems on suburban transport within cities. the government sees a new measures are needed as the countries currently registering. some 20000 infections still have to increase compared to last. well that is how the news is shipping up. on this monday, the 9th of august, i will keep the updates coming for you in about 3334 minutes of the top of the hour . this is rti international with us if you can. the other stuff and then need to talk to someone will actually
