their struggle for independence. the one who present a survey was the so called maxima, pressure campaign, against the wrong, has failed the phase of resistance. he said that this is thanks to constructive relations with independent property such as that as well to you are and on the drawing, he was a really easy believes that it was times with those lot. the american countries are not normal by the strategic census. as it was, president raises and that it was a nice time here. it's economy to the 2015 deal when it was send that to wash it fine destinations to interact with our partner with to neutralize the sanctions. and this seems to be perfectly matching the multiple order he was looking to break it out with the help of its partners like russia and china, latin america, and iran. and not by far the only global act who's trying to shift towards multi polarity. the syrian finance moves and now says damascus plans to apply to join

both the bricks plus group and the shanghai cooperation organization. sir, and authorities of long said the brakes group brings about mutual prosperity and respect. and i was speaking to, to hate aside a, a political analyst into around 2 things. the current established world order is already shutting its skin. this is a huge, dramatic shift in the world economy. you break as a part of that chart, kind of the part of that and uh, either you do like it or not either either you said yes to it or not. the dual says that it is happening, as you mentioned. and there is this huge amount of gdp in among the breaks countries and also those cartridges are willing to join that. but this is just not the comic perspective on the ground that plays a key role. but it comes to exist. comes from a very, uh, actually absolutes and undeniable mentality. you regarding the fact that this

a us hedge many over the world global economy is about to change and the card fees are just to start. have started to understand this motion and they're practicing in foreign policy. on the basis of just a brand new understanding of the fact that these countries are trying to join brakes or other countries or other regional corporations are about to be stablished is indicative of this very fact that the conventional uh, actually structured a world order has a has been about to experienced a huge change. so if you believe it and yet and not the country is, i'm going to join the brakes. plus the lines of yourself, agent, nation of bangladesh, could even join the flowers, sing block a month from now when the countries prime minister attends its summit in august. now one of the key components of bricks is this new development band with members working on a joint, mutually compatible, bricks, car,

and see. this is something that bind with ashes very interested in being a part of that was important to know the total brakes g d, p is already outpacing the back of the g 7 economies. i mean, time, washington has foss to issue warning to bangladesh threatening officials with visa restrictions if they violate so cool that act horrible freedoms during voting next year. well, meantime we spoke to a political analyst, a select child where you, who says bangladesh, what respond kindly the threats we have a lot of business as a rush. i also read china india. so now you asked wants to control developing countries like bottom, a dish and made of the country radio show called the facts shows that they are playing the card off dollars. so we are all comfortable with this. we are becoming victims off and i don't mean of aggression and has which one of the found the dish

big give it up. the company wants to how most of these american has the money and the salary wants to join a job breaks because we believe the friction would be creating a new level ordering sunday, which will be fairly about to spend a few show. yeah. do or do companies like off, i mean, all the developing countries are more of what we say. like google shows, united states, she wants to feature the inter comforters. i can find the very, very defensively mall lives. and i'm just trying to find an excuse to put the pressure on the top just like bundle. there's a bottle of this is a show in country we don't, we don't appreciate american dominance american it, jeff evans. it's all countries domestic out for years now. when long i went to american, say the human rights violations of you know,

i mean human factors been bothered as 0 every day and had a chance of poking about free of for election. but in the us they, our region collapse of their present problems. i'll be your out joe, by the she is a product off. i read you action. so we come to the bottom of these now funded is realize that we have to get your logic under the breaks so that we can us leverage our south around the dominance. how do you, monique, a brochure of the items that those the western policymakers? if americans impose be the restriction, so any of the, some of the, our prime minister jose said ok, we're not crow diagnostic. we're not go through not of space. and then give us, we will impose sanctions and by the us have already imposed sanctions on russia. a

step friendship is dark, but we should ultimately look forward to breaks comments because that's just a page where we all of us can feel safe. if china were also become full time like the us was really becoming depending on chinese young. i don't really think of china so you never read the page time to any country in the world. uh, i think the whole facility is a tradition, a culture of the united states of america. and there was a life and i, i don't really, china were locked into that as of a big job. i am able to work. and so what a few days it's being with the annuals on petersburg, economic of, for them happening. it's been wrapping up now today, essentially in russia's northern capital. during the event of that important, of course, he took the stage as the main speaker of the country's biggest economic conference . the

well, as you might imagine, of the russian president touched upon a wide range of issues from the will. thoughts of economic cooperation to the situation on the front lines in ukraine. at a time when western powers claim that russia has been isolated, the international form gather of 17000 participants, among a 130 delegations, asia africa, and latin america of the global south and the hosting. the event for us at auntie are very on union o'neill now covering some of the highlights and how the event really is pushing towards that health. global multi colored on the 26th and petersburg international economic form is into it's final date at through the boss . at door is here because it is a huge facility over the last number of days helps the diplomats, scientists, public figures on presidents as well. a total of some,

$17000.00 participants from over a $130.00 countries where here and that is a figure that if you're looking at some of the headlines in the west leading up, the event should not have happened. russian was supposed to be isolated, not open for business. if anything, this event shows that is the complete opposite at because people have been here thinking business deals at trying to find where the world sits at currently rushes place in the, in the global economy as well. or coming in search of deepening ties and, and making those contacts at which key hubs like this bring together the, the creatives, the entrepreneurs, to people who, who want to make a spark happen. and that's what we're seeing. it is an energy here, right? right. these days at going from one side of the spectrum, the other so many small and medium sized enterprises, russian businesses as finding an opening in the market. the props watson there.

when the western problems were here, they've got a chance to show their worth and what they can bring to the market, as well as western currencies at we're losing their grip on russia. now that appears to be a global trend, as well, assuming dollarization by loft road trade from country, the country. that being done without the global reserve currency that of the dollar saying that we can do a trade without the behemoth. and it will lead to bigger profits for all. well, just in terms of the audience here on, on the people that are coming from the global size, asia, africa site and central america. the, there is a crap thing. i, as i said, of energy is always like to the well infamous russian pranksters of all bon and alexis who talked about this boot from the u. s. federal reserve chapter some. they said that american officials agree the sanctions against russia has not well to

ship. he said what he considered necessary while communicating with the landscape, and therefore decided to tell him everything since he's, he's partner, including what others did not say in public. he was clear that it was important for him to prove doesn't ask you why the sanctions against russia did not really work. so he bloomed everything on the head of the central bank of russia, seeing that they worked so well. and the sanctions are not effective. together we call it frank journalism. a symbiosis of a mixture of human and generally speaking, was because it has its own genre. burnside totally the 2 of us are represented the menial hall. this is to show people the real stage of assess, to show everything that is hidden, especially when it comes to local stories on the tank. was some politicians spreading notes on the across of all shaw but also broad and citizens of the country. a look at how a politician behaves in an informal setting and roles. a own conclusions. yeah,

i know for all of you to catch up on that because that's how much the just about a lot of people missed the st. petersburg international economic form and no much the balance of the contracts being signed. articles being written, learn about that, that. ok, 8 on the in a new episode of, of going on the ground host option for tennessee speaks the back of stones, former prime minister sharon calling about the countries a while economy, but more importantly, political arrival res, but also has ties with russia and washington's potential interference has a moron. con has cold. it is a sneak peak. congressman brad sherman has written to blinking at the state department saying the one that is going on in progress on as regards democracy as regards the imprisoning of your party members and leaders that alone. what's happening to you? well, you know, i don't care what this, you know,

if they don't comment about what's happening me, and frankly, i think by get something done in a match, as eventually we will have to solve it sort of problems. but my only point is, you know, how on the west some countries talk about what does have the dialogue was how to big and in hong kong, a lot of the week as a giant all and about russian human rights issues. so is it only by human rights only, but a democracy in border when it comes to rivals, shouldn't not be consistently across the board. that if you all profess ends of democracy and human rights, then shouldn't be whatever they have. why they just, they should speak up with those boxes on right now. the was human rights, human rights violations that going on and focused on right now will you be running if all this quote, actually managed to wrap up before the next election, the bug is fun. we run for prime minister as well. of course this is the election.

yeah. i mean my part is or, or what is for the election. but what are the, what is happening is the, the other, the, the saw scared of losing the they want to either text it the logo. so be going to knock me on 12 minutes. it gore. because somebody called scanner. no, no, because it is all the folders. so normally once it goes to actually uh, disqualify it or would it be present uh which again would it be? would it be a big fos, whatever. because my apologies was do with the election when i was there. because it says the public opinion never has the publics done with any one body as it stands today. because all the parties together are scared of competing against us. the it is good to have you with us today will started as a simple student,

protesting or stop african township and 1976 evolved into an uprising the spread across the country. a june 16th known as youth de lives on behalf of mines of menu on the continent and south africa revolt. a catholic on summer, looks back up to 161976 lost a significant spinning points in the history of south africa. and this days, when thousands of black students come so way to to protest against the not the so it's uprising, also known as you say, not only ignited wind speed resistance against racial segregation, but also highlights of the names. and let's say today, in june, thousands of students decided to persevere lives and march peacefully through the state of georgia to express satisfaction, educational injustices. however, the peaceful protests want me to pull from here again,

rather put it in line. i mean, this is the 176 children killed, the total number of tenants ranging up to 600. now the seemed the innocent young life in english ignited a few of resistance. we are now living in different, in a different time in 2023. when you realize in 1976, that particular bit of what they did not want to do and you find that to the fields were enjoying that because of the instruments from the past. all the challenges that they had so many more opportunities. now, we are tied to the uprising black students

who are subject to to an inferior and see related educational system which aims to perpetuate. i'm just not using key to teaching subjects and language. the majority of the next students did not understand or speak the strongly police that indicate some of the uprising of june 6th, 1976 exemplifies the power and impact and actions of those students who it is. and in spite of movement dates continue to watch the task and conduct the conference and wavering and simulation and collective action serve. as a reminder that it is to use the key to a brighter future for our south africa, one of the members of, of

a stipend country delegation in russia today in st. petersburg, speaking with a russian president, we thought of a african piece initiative for the complet in you pray and we'll let you know how it will find out for the main time. remax the

the sometimes we come across whistleblower stories that just make us angry. they're emblematic of everything that's wrong with the way whistle blowers are treated. today we have that kind of a story. we're going to talk about the airline industry and industry where safety is absolutely paramount. after all, if a plane is unsafe, if it falls out of the sky, god forbid, there's literally nothing that anybody can do about it. passengers are at the mercy of the reliability of the aircraft, the end of the ability of the people operating it and maintaining it. so what

happens when a pilot blows the whistle on potential safety violations? the airlines is supposed to investigate. and if necessary, take the plane out of service, maybe even ground, the fleet, change the policy, making the repairs, do everything else necessary to maintain safety and security. but what delta airlines did instead was to go after the whistle blower. i'm john kerry onto and welcome to the whistle blowers the . 2 2 today we're going to tell you the story of captain carlene petted. she's a veteran pilot with delta airlines, one of the largest carriers in the world. in 2016 carleen raised concerns about potential safety violations at delta and its almost cost or her career. that's not the way it's supposed to work. as i said in the u. s. department of labor complaint

she said. busy after she brought her safety concerns to like that, she was subject to the psychological exams and a phony diagnosis that had the potential to end. her career and administrative judge sided with her in a december 2020 order, but the airline drag did speed to implement the decision. the complaints with carly made were that delta had falsified training. records had conducted retaliatory line checks and the airline treated employees unfairly and outside auditor hired by the airline found that the allegations were true. and delta eventually made changes to its policies and its training manuals. but in the meantime, carlene was suspended with pay a doctor chosen by delta said that she suffered with bipolar disorder, but the airline couldn't fire her because every time she was examined by a psychiatrist, she was deemed to be mentally healthy. there was no bipolar disorder or any other mental health disorder. the airline's goal was to have her declared mentally unfit to fly,

so that they could fire her and she couldn't then be hired by another airline. in the end, carlene was examined by a panel of doctors at the esteemed mayo clinic, as well as by a neutral doctor. they all found that she had no mental health issues whatsoever. in 2022 carlene won a complete and total legal victory. a labor department tribunal award, her $500000.00 in damages, and she now flies a $330.00 between seattle and european destinations currently and petted joins us today. thank you so much for being with us. hi, thank you for having me, john. oh, thank you. and well, wow, is all i can say every article i read about your case made me angrier than the previous one. you conducted your whistle blowing exactly the way we're all trained to do it. you presented a 43 page report with your concerns to to delta pilots, who are also company executives and who are responsible for this kind of

information. so walk us through what happened next. you made your revelations and then what a well was an interesting because we learned so much in discovery during through the trial. but we learned that this was a pre meditated plan back in 2015. we're captain james graham, who is now delta c e o at uh, endeavor, they're holy on subsidiary. he actually had planned it and said he was going to do it if i came forward with my report. and so that was 4 months before they created the pre test for this, we learned that they paid the doctor $74000.00. it took me 3 years to get him in illinois medical the word to take action against him and he forwarded forfeited his medical license. yet the company before on has never been held accountable for union was not there for me at all. we learned that i learned that the union was actually working with a company and fortunately, and, and many union representatives after the fact,

apologize to me and said that they hadn't been there at the time, but they couldn't do anything anyway. it was quite a battle because from beginning to end it was over 7 years and yeah, 7 years i was 6 years of litigation. i was told that they did engage in war of attrition. i'm actively trying to change this uh, the air 21, a statute, which is the airline was a blur statute because it has the shortest statute limitations only 90 days. i looked out because i knew immediately my union wasn't helping me and i began researching. i didn't know about this and found out and i was able to file and time . it's a key factor. we also were challenged after the judge already me $500000.00. the they appealed. and the problem or it said, wait a minute, delta your bad. you still is, but they went after the judge why he could awards so much because it's all compensatory damages,

typically $50000.00. we were headed back to trial to support the order that the judge and give it. they ordered me to go back to court and we all know that the current was almost more painful than what delta did. i have to tell you a 6 years of trial. so yeah, and we weren't opposing them. and going back in, at the end of the day, delta finally came in and said, okay, will you settle? will give you what the judge ordered. we won't take this any further. you don't have to go back to court and we'll give you all your attorney fees, which was huge value to me because typically that's another problem with the law. you only get reasonable attorney fees. typically that's about 90 percent of what you spend. so could you imagine spending 7 years in a little. ready ocean and receiving $50000.00, but your attorney bills are 1000000 and a half you. you only get 90 percent of that back so you can't win even if you win. so it's kind of, yeah, it was

a no brainer to settle. i actually retired on january 31st. i yeah here's, here's the biggest problem. delta has not changed. really changed much of anything . they're still putting pilots on duty for up to 25 hours to as a nose. they are looking the other way. they called it a loophole in a workaround, but when you work around a federal regulations such as fatigue, you're violating safety management systems, which is a risk mitigation tool. so they're look another way. they're still behaving badly and they don't monitor their policies. cuz when the adults, as corporate policies are no reach, retaliation will not be tolerated. it will not be subject determination. and delta has helped nobody accountable in this entire process. all the old didn't did this to me were still there and promoted. and so yeah, and so it was kind of like they went this far and how many millions and attorney

fees and they spent, you know, what's next and as a captain, flying with my fellow pilots, they're going to be going along to the right. if they're going to come and get me again, or what are they going to do next? and, and i just thought that i do not respect this company enough to continue flying for them. the fact that the people are there, they haven't anything. and the problem is the board of directors new and they're not taking any action. so c o is involved and bastion. and he was just named and number one, c, e o and their ceo group. so when you're the leader of your company is behaving this way and condoning a retaliation and attacking on a whistleblower. and i also find it very difficult. i'd like to change at what turn whistle blower because i really didn't whistle blowing. anyone. i use my doctoral research and created an 8 your ethnographic study and, and created this report that would help them. i was trying to help somebody

something i guess if they went out and hired an outside company would have spent, you know, hundreds of thousands of dollars to get what i was giving to them for free. and instead of thinking me or ripping up and throwing it away and said, due by, they decided to go on the attack. so let's talk about what you, what you offer them, the kind of information that you offered them you wrote about falsified training, records, retaliatory line checks, and unfair treatment. can you tell us exactly what that means and what other concerns did you have? the yeah, so the falsifying records training is a huge is a huge issue and what they were doing is we're required to give an oral, to assess the level of understanding. and that actually is the biggest uh, when the most important aspects and why airplanes crash. why we're having incidents is lack of level of understanding. will delta's pencil webbing? it? they're not giving the orals to the pilots, and they're just putting the grades in there. then we have a written test wherever we're required to, to give you

a book to memorize. and so they give you the answers, you go and take the test of true, you know, a, b, c, d, answer the test. so i explained in my paper that some training philosophies and why, how to train better um safety management system, which is the big buzz word for everybody right now. yeah, it's supposed to be the end, all guessed, and it really is nothing because you have to have a, a positive safety culture. so the entire report was actually the importance of safety culture as a foundation for s m. s. and under every category of adjust culture, a reporting culture of a learning culture, what i did is i included these cultures. and then i went ahead and i went ahead and i explained what we were doing. here's an example. here's how you fix it. here's how you solve the problem and i had a page and

a half of references for academic research and. and so it was uh, quite interesting that they reacted the way they did. they say it's a place to an outside auditor and the auditor found that everything you had said was correct. and presumably at least i would expect that remediation to begin. you've made these observations. an outside auditor says, oh yes, these observations are true. and the whole issue should have ended there. so, so why didn't that, and when did you realize that the airline was going to go after you personally, a well actually heard my union representative had warned may if you meet with them, they're going to get you. they're going to give you this section 15 now at the time i had no idea what it was. and perhaps i was not here, but i thought in today's day and age, nobody's been come, get you for giving safety information to them to help out. so i was not even that aspect, so i kind of loosely knew that they might but never really anticipated or expected

it to actually happen. and then um, and then when they actually told me, i never knew that they had done that safety audit. i had so expected something because uh, because we were receiving from emails they were doing internal audits on the culture of the airline. do you like your management team? are they helping you? what do you think about? and so i can see that they were researching from trying to get from the employees the feel for the culture, the airlines. so i hey, i suspected that had something to do with it, but the fact of every other month they kept doing it. they weren't getting the answers that they wanted, and so they were searching. but not until we the post steve dixon, did he tell me that i was a catalyst for change in that and that they had done this? i had actually no idea the extent that they had done and he's the one and i, i remember sitting there listening to his depositions.
