ah, ah, they get in a full erection to lock them. this room 247 with the man. and there is nothing you can do about it. the terrors playing yards behind bars, transgender identified con, thinks increasingly work the system to get police in female jails, coupled with a subsequent rise in sexual attacks and women prisoners r. t investigates. also had the relentless march of wildfires continue to wreak, destruction in eastern russia and cloak cities and dense smoke. or a correspondent goes with a fire fighting unit to see the scale of the devastation up close. in order to fully fingers, you would need to go up because they're not just burning on the surface. they're burning underground. the

o and anger boils on the streets of from silver, a new anti cobit measures making it mandatory to show help us to access restaurants . hotels, and even to see the doctor ah, around the clock across the world, you checked in with the global use update on our t. i'm, you know, neil hello and a warm welcome. today, r t launches a special project. we're looking at the issue of transgender convex, 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 partial. oh, in fans over where

to house sex change prisoners are particularly high in california without 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 who locked in this room? 247 with the man. and there is nothing you can do about it. ah, the nobody cares about just we in danger here. there were never love males 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 creditor, 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. when 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. the 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 say the biological disparities, the size, the strength of men 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, 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 84 percent of women here incarcerated. say that 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 the biological male or biologically female should be victimized in presence. 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 alleged abuse of women by transgender 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 is 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 us state of

adopted start legislation. similar and my housing policies also exist in connecticut, new york city, massachusetts, and new jersey and women's rights groups are alarmed that all the parts of the country might follow suit. the definition of trans january is dangerously inclusive in california department of corrections and rehabilitation. these are basically heterosexual men, ruining the superintendency for the trans community to be safe. and now they have a big pool of potential victims. males cannot self declaring themselves out of maleness, the yes, shouldn't fall, kelly for you here into this horror. how do you hear? california fell $13.00 to many claim that it sets a heretic precedent for the country. do you agree? i agree, in the sense that the person in the law is so actually broad and generic. you're not looking for any sort of justification or behind this. you can really put other people in danger, while also insulting people who truly do struggle with it by using something that

they really 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 owes the women of that state better and they are failing miserably right now. do you think that there is a concern with ec stories like the ones that are merging, that they can do pretty irreparable damage to an entire transgender community, doing irreparable damage, not only to the transgender community, to you, people who have have been going through their transgender their, their changes, your de la jeremiah them, you're actually going to start to demonize them by using them as a class where using them as 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 hiring 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 a 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 hand house. and basically whether they want to escape other harm from other men or just come into the female presence 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 it single sex prisoners 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 christ and we have female person. that's how it's good because you know that, 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. i'm going to 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 in psychological record. that's what the prison system is supposed to do, is 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 all

t as keeping close tabs on developments in the spare. and you can be sure that will be returning to this topic in future broadcasts. me me. wildfires are continuing to rummage 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. and the fires of left nearby cities, blanketed and choking smoke, or correspondent dmitri polk reports from the very front line where some, 3000 people are bustling nature's fury. just arrived at the camp site where we're supposed to be saying what apparently we might actually have to evacuate right now because the fire is already near the camp. the firefighters are trying to battle with right now, but as you can see behind me, it's spreading really fast, like that tree just caught on fire and like less than

a minute the fires spreading really quickly. there's wind and still really dry. there's still been no rain and the reason for a while for over a month me the roosting, if you really need people here now, the fires cover a very large area. it's hard to keep track. it's almost impossible. i don't know how we can manage that. that's the whole water with a hand pump like this. 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 present 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 hit them, so ahead and with some water. but some of these are actually routes on fire and water 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 is 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 what 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. it's 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. me

the are correspondent dmitri. poke right in the thick of things there. indeed, wildfires are plaguing a whole host of countries. right. not one of the worst had been greece. locals there have joined the efforts of fire fighters in attempting to beat back and for those thousands of people, including tourists, something evacuated from affected areas, homes, power lines. they've been destroyed. more than $56000.00 hectares, and all are said to have gone up in flames. in the past 10 days, smoke is also swept across nearby cities, including the capital, athens, firefighters from the u. k, france, romania and switch being sent to help tackle the disaster. you know, the big story of the day on t corona virus measures are again being tightened in france with a set of new rules coming into force. this monday outdoor terraces, restaurants,

hotels, long distance transport and even medical facilities. they will all now require a cobit help pass for access. the plans have already sparked a wave of nation wide anger several weeks ago, which has been simmering ever since. the, the the me growing anger here in france, the estimated quarter of a 1000000 people have taken to the streets to protest against the covert health certificates. the protest is really have to complain. the 1st is that these health

pastors restrict their freedom. and secondly, that the government is forcing them to be vaccinated. well, from monday people here in france need a health path if they want to even a restaurant or drink in a cafe. and that's regardless of whether it's indoors or outdoors. and health passes also needed for intensity travel, so that will include, for example, domestic flights. and at the same time, high speed trains. it does not include using the metro or suburban transport already. now for some time you have needed the health path to access a cultural venue. so for example, if you want to go to the theater or museum or to the cinema. so what exactly constitutes a health path? well, it is either at jap certificate a negative test that is valid for 48 hours or a covert recovery certificate that is valid for 6 months. the constitutional court found that the french president emanuel from the crumbs restrictions were proved

last month by the parliament and by the government represent for the cause, a balanced trade off between public health concerns and personal freedom taken listen to con, can get into the question of citizenship because our freedom is indeed to be able to live next size, our choices, but its worthless, if in exercising our freedom we infect our brother, our neighbor, or friend, our parents. also when we meet with an event, does no longer about being free. it's about being responsible, as many as $20000.00 new concerned covered cases are being recorded each day, which is a steep climb from where the figures were just a month ago. we'll continue to monitor how fond implement these new restrictions and whether in fact it decides to introduce any further ones still to come in the program or review of the olympic games that made headlines for so much more than

the sporting successes showcase to the world that story and more few after this short break. oh, ah, join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then in this is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed what will make you feel safer. tyson lation, whole community. you going the right way for you being that somewhere?

which direction? what is truth? what is in a world corrupted. you need to this end. the join us in the depths will remain in the shallows. ah, in the the olympic flame has been dosed in tokyo on past on to part of the end of the pandemic, define games for the past 3 weeks. the world's best been bustling about to prove themselves foster higher, stronger, but sports frequently funded. so sharing the spotlight with politics and walk in them. daniel hawkins recount the tokyo olympics, were always going to be different. i made protests scandals in

a raging pandemic. the will lave or will it may take place until the very last minute kept every one on their toes. new sports kept fans across the world riveted . even a stance remained empty. but a lot of side, it wasn't been you disciplines, stunning victories, and world records that made headlines. politics and sport shouldn't mix goes the all the dash that was forgotten before the limbic flame even got to tokyo, deprived of flag and anthem, russian athletes will probably the most tested competitive, but became fair game for jobs bashing when stand offish. questions about doping, other russian olympic team athletes carrying the stigma, cheated in these games after the scandal. and how do you feel about it the 1st time in my life? i'm not going to answer a question. you should be embarrassed of herself. i think you should. why are him from the olympics? i don't want to see him again for some indicating to boots even be seen in the photo together with a russian athlete with cranes get us love them or who to set an official dressing

down for her appearance. athletes were present in ukraine. international competitions must understand that the russian ukrainian war is ongoing in ukraine. this imposes sudden restrictions and responsibilities immediately after her return . have an appointment scheduled with her. being a good sport, swiftly went out of fashion in favor of being a sore loser. who's the, i received some type of plan, completely backfired. it certainly didn't keep the russians out. and it certainly didn't shame russia we're putting, has used the band to pump up nationalistic pride. yes, you could say russian athletes had their own bones to pick with elliptic judges. but at least in swimming or rowing, when is undisputed when. but when goals goes to your rival, who made an evident glaring error?

well, questions are going to be honest. with you, you share a blatant mistake and deliberate and justice that had been premeditated. a serious error committed by an is rarely acid in no way prevent her from winning go against politics. but this was just hopeful and it's hard to explain it in any other way. perhaps these can be explained by the fact that russia has been winning for 20 years and that it was important for someone to remove russia from the witness list . it was done in the most disgusting way. can yes, of course it hurt. i'm glad they came 2nd, but it hurt that it was unfair. it's not my 1st year in sports, and that's why you wouldn't get 1st please. i hoped and they believed until the very last, but the miracle didn't happen. it's not just russian athletes who made headlines, bella, russian sprinter, christina to manascale, didn't when metal is in the women's 100 meters, but one global media attention, i meant to stand off with coach. you sort of countries olympic committee who powerfully tried to force her to return home. the coaches were swiftly removed from

the vintage, went off square, offered a sign in poland. and while admiration and praise are usually reserved for the winter as those who fight on against all odds. u. s. gymnastic star simone biles received accolades for the opposite. like tennis champion, mooney, or soccer, did this summer boils again made clear. sometimes it's okay. lot to be ok. yeah, i say put mental health 1st because if you don't then you're not going to enjoy your sport and you're not going to succeed as much as you want to. so it's okay sometimes to even set out the big competition to focus on yourself whenever miles pulls on her leotard. it says, though she's tied to a cape around her neck. she's the hero task to 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's one that exceptional black women and women of

color are tall to wear because simply being great isn't good enough. aside from mental health also, and the agenda was athletes, clothes, while german gymnast went out to where utah in a statement against sexualization and received widespread support. swimming caps for nuts were black hair were ban, does unsuitable. and the appearance of laurel hubbards, the 1st openly transgender woman at the lympics, caused the bait. again, look because of performance. she came lost in her group. but simply because of her presence olympic history has had its iconic, bold political statements from berlin, 936 to mexico city, 968th, and monterey owl. 1976, just to name a few bad to those poco 2020 was pretty tame. what still, wouldn't it be nice if just for once the games embodied that true values of picking up from daniel's piece sports column? miss allen were

a believe the real meaning of the olympics has all but disappeared from the event. today, these games will go down in history. lympics killed off sport to quite a large degree from involving politics from people basically being allowed to do whatever they wanted in abilities olympics where any testing of any sort it just as complete mass. local intakes is a nice way to pull this. i would also say that is the 1st phase calling because we have so much bad feelings about an invoice or a news olympics, whether it's bad charging weight or is people breaking records on a year or 2 years ago. they were 10 seconds away from so i still. yeah. what will it be stupid. so a mess is the see really dropped the ball. the u. s. recently hit its self imposed debt ceiling,

but dollars not stopping democrats from pushing ahead with an infrastructure package costing a trillion dollars. the senate has even silenced debates on the legislation. on top of that, democrats are feeling bullish enough to ask for more. another spending package totaling 3 and a half trillion. it will all ultimately require having to increase the debt ceiling . but republicans are having none of it. so unless they get more of a say on how the money spent, if they don't need aud, our input, we are help with the debt limit increase that wrecked actually. as he is reckless plans, you will require you just to make clear the debt ceiling limits the a month, 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 cough off for government bills, essentially financial group max kaiser,

who's been closely following events. so he's the u. s. has no choice said have to keep on borrowing. the u. s. economy in conjunction with most of the west is one enormous ponzi scheme, need fresh money to keep that ponzi scheme going, if you take the contact from, you understand that 0 percent interest rate and global debt to g. d, p is over 300 percent and the ability to pay back any of these loans is berkeley. 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 all that money printing attempting to tamp them is dead, which is causing people at the shops of the gas station. and notice that the price of living is going up per separate this way. 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've got to eliminate the idea of a stealing. and they're just simply going to say that we're going to engage and unlimited on encumbered money, print thing, and debt creation. 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 you asked us to our 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 on system state approved torture on trial. next, those are documentary asks, just how did successive administrations get away with it for so long? for me, the look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except when the short or conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. at the point obviously is to create truck rather than fear i would take on various jobs with artificial intelligence, real summoning the demon a

robot must protect its own existence would shine me every 1st day 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 me. in the traditional motion picture story, the villains are usually defeated the ending of the happy one. i can make no such promise for the picture you're about to watch. the story isn't over. i remember editors bringing my father down and.
