treat and wrote note, i believe the us house of representatives has admitted in the past that the post school regime in ukraine has heavily relied on the assistance of knives, the forces, to execute its violence campaign against ethnic russians. i am grateful that the house of representatives unanimously passed my amendments last night to ensure that all military does not train members of the repulsive neo nazi as a battalion along with 1000000 measures to keep the dangerous and easily traffic mine portable air defense systems. out to these unstable regions, however, significant shift in the western node occurred in february 2022. within months, as all fighters were being states, as in congress semen, stanford university. i'm s and the seas wound over ukrainian soldier whose to which account overflowed with new knots images. facebook made this don in decision to allow post praise india as of battalion, even though the company admitted that he was a hate group. this overnight normalization of white supremacy was possible because

west and institutions driven by zeal to ignore allison negative about our ukrainian allies. decided that in new labs, the military formation in a war til nation have suddenly um, miraculously stopped to be in neo nazi the are the magic of the not g, germany as being in grain. do you know of societies along the line of this? never again. model and to see uh the amount of uh, media support. find those uh the provide the cover being uh, extended to a regime that essentially se brakes uh individual such as they found on their uh uh to this day. uh and um, basically relies a lot on the relays that he has in the united states and the uh, and kind of uh,

in the as far as the, uh, uh, daughters and grand daughters and sons are former nancy's from you frame. and it's something that no, nobody the west would have ever imagined the icon. all gor fee associated with these extremist hate groups like the school and lost those symbols, infamously, worn by concentration. camp guards, as well as the enigmatic emblem and known as the block sun, has indeed surface with noticeable frequency on the uniforms of soldiers active leave. fighting on the front lines, something that was hard to ignore, even for the mainstream media. ukraine's ambivalence about the symbols and sometimes even its acceptance of them. risk giving new main stream live to icons that the west has spent more than a half century trying to eliminate edwin. he is binding opposition parties and any voice is criticizing. the military is links to neo nazi groups. it appears that the

opinions of your brain is living abroad and those residing in the country point to very different perceptions of ukraine. could it possibly imply that there is greater freedom to engage in discussions concerning these matters outside the nations borders to the head of one of the largest want to see says new queen, security officials offered him a plain view. that is a se denounces of the claim. orthodox to show it says ancient ties to russia and support for the transition of his mazda 3 to a different organization, connected with caves, leadership. but if it was a pop out, refused to do sign his done nothing wrong. he was beginning in at called in keys, where a judge extended his current house arrest until the end of august, back in april. he was charged with inciting really just hatred and justifying what he calls russian aggression. just days ago, you guys present that landscape,

propose a bill to move the celebration of christmas to the dates on the catholic, cameron that instead of the traditional alter, that was one is the russian ideology, including in religion, hadn't been imposed on in finance. the middle was positive of cracking sound like you on the gradient orthodox church, which is traditionally ties to months ago, months and now prohibited from entering the to the task i love. and those is day that mostly the models for you. within the next 3 days. we have an academic and gentle is jason michael, is as the persecution, the games of church, like he was, government has been ongoing for at least 5 years. there's no mention of this because this is part of an ongoing propaganda campaign where in the broadest of all possible sense, as the ukrainian regime is being given a blank check by nature with the european union and the united states. what was

happening to the ukrainian orthodox church is an ongoing persecution. it's concerning that metropolitan pothole has been under how you start asked them that this has gone on since last april. behind this, of course, we can trace this back much fold up 2018. when the ukrainian government and p as voted as an act of parliament as a, as a government move to rename the church. and it's very rare, particularly in any state pretending to be a liberal democratic state, to use an act of parliament for subjects to change its name, to reflect some form of incentive following the legion, you know, to put into parents. this is the most school patriarch, kate, you know, this would be a can, you know, during perhaps world war 2 when, but it was. ready or was adults hitler and his all i miscellany to re label the catholic church and england. the colleagues in catholic church who i sat for the

inside of a facet suspended, the broke off in white. so the 1st television child climbing it's was false information about the crisis in the country. a different shadow, lashan and 4 is responsible for the consequences of the serious violations by broad costing, from information about the book it a fast. so the book can be superior and council for communication is suspending the programs of the tv channel less shannon full from the packages of any paid audio visual service distributor for a period of 3 months and book it a fast. so it looks like for us as hopes and dreams to stay in between the faucet and good books that have gone to put down the drain once again. and this off to the west efforts and nations need a rickety to suspended with immediate effect. fresh subdivision else, the i full, rolled costing full of information on the security situation and the can see already so i'd be able to tell her was not the decision did come following

a popular, so known as the beautiful. i'll put that as an important question and wish to originate to accuse see an image of new. so mind me of making false and baseless remarks on the security situation in which you know, fossil and the so how these and these militias reports were made on the 25th of april this year. we, according to the re election we body. so mani states is that too hard is advancing rapid. the state troops were using volunteers of to protect themselves from the on slots and without dimension in any sol says, stating that 40 percent of the human fosters territory is occupied by 2 hodges. and that's more than 13000 people had died and more than 2000000 had been displaced. now it would be just some of the comments that, that the journalist has major, these comments that live for you to create even more and rates within the population. and we can the necessary for the operations for to between the army and

the civilians. now, did you remember that quick enough also has been experiencing a search design is by on the violence forcing people out of the homes. the locals continue to state that indeed ross is watching over time to pause the k, austin between the thoughts of and that with advocates fighting because upfront, if it's a few risk and it's a realism not because the problem was, as someone would say, i mean 5 is chicken really coming home to roost at, in the west african and beach and, and as many a current to say anything that is bolt of lies. can lock stanfull if the jealous comments are deprived of honesty, she did not mention the numerous initiative taken by the authorities of booking a fast. so to ensure security in the country, no of the success is achieved by the army. know the losses suffered by terrorists. the news was biased, the angle was chosen to demonstrate that the withdrawal of the french army would

lead to complete chaos in this a hell region. the john lists comments were ultimately inflammatory. that will be the best. them comes mid, increasing the teams by the working off of authorities to restrict the operation to the independent media as well as roby and 2 french statements from a distance. it might come across as though the french can not catch the break, even though we all know that they've done this the, the solves and this is for the own doings because it is the 3rd time in about 7 months. that's the key to fossil authorities to have done this. the june task suspended radio fonts international in december 2003 to also one of the keys asians of lending scott form to a terrorist chief, to intimidate to the country. in april, it's suspended or broke costs by the fonts for the 4th, and use channel off to it, interviewed the shit arcade of north africa, france $24.00 is not only acting as

a mouthpiece for these terrace, but worse, just providing a space for the legitimate ation of terrorist actions and hate speech, both the radio fronts and for us to default, which caused by african the phase chose leap pop in the, in the efforts in the francophone nations that it up is suspended even in neighboring monica, which is also run by a village in june tops, this is just the native steps of a form of those. now the question remains on with a french of media outlets will per boats heading the to the will continue to middle in these the fees. we find some people on the face of, again, a facet regarding the presence of french media in the country. and i think it is the book you know, back, well, know what is happening here in the territory and the french, they don't know clearly what is happening, working a stranger cannot come into your family and know the problems. it's the family members that are responsible for something. i think it's completely normal that french radio stations are suspended, as we have already signed agreements with russia. it is better that we continue

with russia and continue with our defense and security forces. i think the return of the french army is not necessary to fight terrorism. it looks like the french army doesn't want to help us. we feel that they show this interest towards the country trust no longer exists towards the french army. deliberately now is the supreme court ordered eviction of the last remaining policies you found me in a building filled with is rudy settlers? the court rejected the finally final appeal to keep the home in a 200 year old building and traditional muslim area of tourism. hockey's correspondent, maria phenomena, as the story or the new uh 68 was born and raised in this house in the old city of jerusalem. these walls keep precious memories of her deceased parents. her marriage, 5 of her children and of they have to live here. but soon she might lose it forever . these riley authorities have ordered the expulsion of nora and her family. i feel

like i've been sentenced to a death penalty with every passing 2nd. i feel like my soul is banding today. i woke up scad. i drive that soldier straight to the house. i got out of bed panicking, running to make sure that there was no rage. and everyone was safe. nora whose family has been renting this place since 1953 is a protected tenant. this privilege status dates back to the jordanian rule and later was adopted by israel. it means neither she nor her children can be evicted unless there was a payment delay or an authorized renovation. clearly not the case here, or if the family doesn't stay at the property as the trust of has always, nor is house since 2010, and that is behind the legal battles. use data from the city, the cameras to convince the court that the woman doesn't leave in the house, referring to her a 4 month period when she had stayed at her son's place, due to a proven medical condition. the family believes it was just to protect the view and

they will hate them is of luck. so they have targets in my house and all the houses around the alex. and most you probably saw in the news that the settlers go always the asked nick, glancing over the whole area in the old city of jerusalem. they want it only for themselves to build their promise down pulse they want to get rid of the arabs and gain full control for what can we request of the comans from the jerusalem municipality on what the grounds are for the eviction. there was no response. so far they happening 14 court cases against nora's family in the last half a century, to eviction orders and the family he says, many attempts by the municipality, these ro custodian, and even the antiquities authority to evict them. they said as on lo, phone, the student center is a part of occupied palestinian temporary and under international human stay in low independent public. international understands on recognize us protective population,

protect that population whose lights off. got an update on the international law and forcibly displacing palestinians out of occupied typically actually constitutes and will crime and degree breach of international law. the family members complain they are being harassed by jewish settlers and neighbors. nora says they throw garbage water from the balcony. she blames them for the deaf of 5 trees in her little rooftop garden. they were also stones thrown at the windows. police the family says are rarely on the ground to help, which might make the perpetrators believe they can get away with everything. foresight of the state, the wizard is actually encouraging the settlers methodology and the settlers behavior by being that and protecting them instead of protecting the people who are the 1st the case here is not as lambs the versus the 2 days. i'm god forbid, this is the case who does actually, if i say a family basically getting evicted from their house and then bringing in the international community,

condemned force displacement of palestine and families in numerous reports by you and human rights and human, a tearing offices. you and foreign diplomatic missions, there are constant calls on israel to stop this practice. it has little effect though. the un estimates around $970.00 palestinians almost tough children are currently at 3 east, co forest eviction in east jerusalem alone, including the old city. we met a group of young activists in norris house, foreigners and locals. they came to show their support and solidarity with the family. they take shifts to make sure they are present in 247, not to miss the moment when police no on the doors, as is really your citizen. i am not afraid of being arrested, which is a great privilege because i know that our power, steering and partners for them being arrested is a terrible ordeal. and it can last much longer and have more serious implications. but this is non violent resistance. and so we're not afraid when we go

out of the house is rarely police were waiting for us cold by a jewish lady who got quotes by our camera. they checked out ideas and ask the purpose of the filming. when we told them we are covering the eviction story, the asked if it's about a move them for a jewish family. unclear why it was relevant, but it certainly was an unnecessary question. no jewish family has ever been expelled from the city. using the chance i ask the officer why they don't show up when nora's house is attacked and the family's threatened by sense, there is nowhere in her family. all the loss palestinians left in this building. most of the house is on this street. i populated now by door sets are, is coming from different parts of bass row and from abroad turning to moving forward. or if there was some hands, old c t into a jewish one. legal battle which lasted 47 years now seems to be lost. the chords

notified norris family, but the eviction may happen any time now within the next 2 weeks. but my plan is to stay. they're not ready to give up on the place. they have called home for generations. ready for national r t from jerusalem. so i was flying by us the just of the pentagon recent statement about the chinese balloon. they shut down of the us earlier this year, confirming it was not collecting information in terms of you know, the balloon and in the capabilities it has. as you heard at the time, we were aware that it had intelligence collection capability, these, but it was our, it's, and it has been our assessment now that i did not collect while it was transiting the united states or overflowing united states as high as hulu. both in the continental u. s. was products and later down to buying them. i couldn't find a jet off the coast of south carolina in february. the lou up already tends to

nations between washington, i'm asian with the u. s. officials accusing china of espionage. i'm counseling official visits. the balloon drama also spots an uproar among us politicians and medium china trends. our sovereignty. we will add to protect our country and we did . a chinese 5 alone is hovering over the united states of china, remains the pacing challenge and something that will continue to stay focused on the trip was postpone following the bible learn incident over the u. s. format extensions rising between the united states and china, over a chinese 5 balloon that the chinese 5 balloon that flew across the west, back in february, was able to gather intelligence from several military sites. and then we shut it down. so need a clear message, clear message. the violation of our sovereignty is unacceptable. a little i. so it's and now so long the vice chairman of the site high sense of a room pack. i'm in social studies. it says the punch,

as long as that statement by the bullying wasn't connecting intelligence, they didn't leaves more questions than nonsense. they statement from the pentagon. there's some water confusing because we don't know what was the occasion for the pentagon to makes that state. but also if and seems to you to pilot that was flying on top of the blue or rated, confirm that they did not collect any information while flying over canada and the us for a week. why the white house students cited to shoot. now, my 3rd question is why the pentagon has decided to make this statement now, full months off to the incident. that's happened, isn't it because that the goal is trying to coordinate with the white house effort to respond. it's dialogue with by aging following secretary or state or blank guns, recent visit to china, or china's and bass. so the to the u. s. has made some progress coming down. the

patient between the 2 countries or secretary gentlemen, is planning to visit the by going to ask about, you're going to buy more us treasury bio bars, but then why are they still calling the balloon a spine below the former? but as far as my assumption is, lend support to a controversial scheme. i p. m. mission, should i spell aside it and see it goes to the one to so that says the central african country would be a good place for them despite public because of the proposal. everyone that is a safe country, the high court agrees with that. and indeed, you mentioned the u. n. h c. all they use rwanda, so their own refugee schemes, olivia, and refugees. and given a little that we're going to see commission to appeal this decision to the supreme court, to the same migration deal with rolando assigned last year, eligible assigned to see this would be sent to rolanda to wait for british reading on what the request for

u. k residency is approve. the recent british quote routing said the central african country would not be a safe enough place to how's the refugees through? i haven't government have this pieces back for me. while this is ultimately a decision for the u. k is traditional system. we do take issue with the ruling, the wanda is not a safe country for asylum seekers and refugees or wanda is one of the safest countries in the world. and we have been recognized by the united nations high commissioner for refugees and other international institutions for our exemplary treatment of refugees. because of a draw on their attention of october 5th and the okay. we had from so the client's was already scott of a sensor lambda come say know nothing about and ice. and now that being said, some of the all say so they've reached protection and safety and these have

internal for themselves. most of the u. k puts out more pressure for that. you have a lot of mind to suspend that. i get a manual that alonza a small fee and that shameful deal. respect you not a rifle the a very few days when it's usually a whole time because this is a flagship policy that the court has ruled is on the phone. and i'm delighted for those individual assign them because you have one that case today where you just us the issue with a prominent role. one them politicians as a k is a develop a country that needs software, adequate support for the refugees, a or a c p. did that to this data, or is it under low full and they i'm a blade, the decision of the quotes that met us. an issue is that the u. k. stay with this thing with this as city and was like us, you great is the editor county, it says and in democratic countries. and do we have to understand that as long as

we see a city we'll see, cuz some of them they are reported to cut her messages. they needed to to stay to cancel it. and there is a democracy where there is a freedom of expression and door to does not have a new one that disappears. anything around that there's a lack of demo. can i see there's a lack of full freedom of expression and they are the city a mistake as the other for them of a corner of the kid or for just one that is a poor country. you know that to wrong. that is a longer to in $25.00 support as a country and go out and do you and do you k is the reach of content. this i think of this is you good is a good place to stay with visit or for just the current maternal suggest they have also right to to be protected. well that on. so this busy news allen junk sylvie absolutely is on the whistle blows up. next. i'm only back on the top of the hour. the noise that's on is the the

the, the u. s. department of veterans affairs is one of the most poorly managed departments in the us government rivaling elements of the justice department like the bureau of prisons and the f. b. i in documented wrong doing different presidents have appointed secretaries with different backgrounds to try to write the ship, including general business executives, attorneys, and even activists. but nothing is work. there's something deeply wrong about the culture within veterans affairs. we only know about it, thanks to whistle blowers, i'm john kerry onto and welcome to the whistle blowers the . 2 2 2 2 2 2 in 2018 for police officers from the us department of veterans

affairs went public with allegations of waste, fraud, abuse, and illegality in the sprawling department that is supposed to take care of americas veterans. v a police officers are responsible for protecting the property, staff, veterans, and visitors. they cover va property all across the united states, conducting patrols, responding to calls, including calls about suicide will patients and investigating crimes those 4 officers found evidence indicating that their supervisors covered up false reports covered up for corrupt officers. one fairly promoted people in the forest with whom they were having affairs, and performed numerous acts of favoritism. they had side businesses in violation of ethical codes and they engaged in discrimination, gross mismanagement, and overtime pay fraud. when they reported their findings to senior officials, rather than those officials acting on the information, they targeted these 4 officers. almost immediately there were problems with their

pay. they received poor performance evaluations and they were transferred to desk duty, while long term investigations against them played out. as we say to frequently on this show, what happened was exactly the opposite of what was supposed to happen. were joined today by one of those v. a police officers, tim petoskey. tim, thank you so much for being with us. we're glad to have you an honor to be here. tim, tell our viewers a little about yourself. how did you get involved in law enforcement? especially in federal law enforcement and how did you end up at the department of veterans affairs? sure. so i've, i'm, i've been a cop for a very long time. i often joke that i'm not fit for anything else. i retired from the union support organization and then um i started looking for something to do uh, sort of that that space between retirement,

where you're still young enough to get out and do the job. but you've passed your 1st milestone, your job to retire from the 1st department. and so i accidentally discovered that the department of veterans affairs actually had the police officers. i was surprised to find that out initially. and so 2009, when i retired from the states side, i took a job with the va for that reason. originally i did my thought was this was going to be a retirement good. i. i couldn't envision that law enforcement at a hospital would be that detailed. and so i figured it would be a good place for me to kind of to my shields and tell all my retirements settled out and i was still in the army reserves. so i figured, you know, this was a good place to, to come. and so i've been working since the eighty's. i worked street crimes in florida in those years. and i've been military intelligence officer for quite a few years and in p in the army. and in the air force for

a few years as well. so that's pretty much all i've done with my life. wow. boy scouts. yeah, it is right. you had been at the va for a long time. you're a professional, you know the rules. and then you started seeing things that were just wrong. tell us about that and about what you did when you saw these things. regionally. like i said, i joined in 2009 by 2010. uh, i kind of looked around and i was like, wait a minute, especially in what we call the one of the facilities like out here in seattle or detroit or boston. it is not just being a hospital. com. there's a lot of stuff that goes on in those facilities and the agency here in seattle is wolfley understaffed. your officers are wearing a heavy down 2nd chance best that we're out of date radio system didn't work all kinds of stuff. and i almost just walked off the job, i almost just put myself in

a bag and walked out the door. and it a friend of mine and rob ad it was assaulted so bad that you'll never be a corporate. yeah. wow. and he laid a pool of his own blood screaming over those radio systems that couldn't work. and um, and we couldn't find it. and uh, so i looked a friend of mine and joe murphy, the fellow officer. and the days after rob's assaults, we just gotta look at are the in the i, and so what are we going to do? and joe said to me and my, my brother's keeper. hm. and those words are just getting me like a lightning bolt. and because joe was a young guy, she was starting history at the end of mine, right? like mine is the ability for the view to harm me is marginalized by the fact that i, my career, is science who lives in many respects. joe was stepping up in an environment with the vehicle couldn't, will, in his ability to be a cock forever. and so it was a,

there was an integrity check, you know, and so i had to step forward. and joe, and i did we, especially in those initial years, we've just joined i against the world. and she moved on to the federal protective services and went on with his career. and i stayed at the v a u side of the story of the new story where the 4 hours went public. but i got in public several times before that. and after that story, it was, at least there was a hit list that was you read by the a my names on it and they call me the ring leader or the police national and wow, i mean i bear that like a badge of honor. um that's right, i don't know how big that is, but i'm by more than willing to own it. and so it's been a pretty long road and this is my 1st interview. yeah. well i, i'm thrilled by that. i'm thrilled by it. this is important. you made.
