Just after 3 pm here in moscow today august this thank you for choosing r. T. For your news update this hour only. A wide reaching Domestic Surveillance Program could be back on the cards stateside the trumpet ministration house called on u. S. Lawmakers to permanently. The National Security agency the request was made in a letter sent to congress on thursday signed by former National Intelligence director dan coats additionally his appeal through feel about the controversial Call Detail Records Program had actually been suspended after collecting more information than was legally allowed the spying program falls under a section of the usa freedom act which is set to expire in december with more of what we know that. The Trump White House is speaking up about a high profile n. S. A. Program that allows the recording of americans phone. Calls and personal messages dan coats the outgoing director of National Intelligence is urging congress to reauthorize the law before it expires at the end of the year now dan coats has confirmed that the n. S. A. Has put the program on hold however he says its necessary to have the ability to get the Program Going again if needed as Technology Changes our adversaries trade craft and communications habits will continue to evolve and adapt in light of these dynamic environments the administration supports reauthorization of this provision as well a coalition of privacy and Civil Liberties advocates sent a letter of their own to the u. S. House Judiciary Committee and said of renewing the program they called for meaningful surveillance reform the governments implementation of the program further demonstrates both the privacy threats posed by the program and its lack of efficacy it is highly concerning that it took almost 3 years to detect the fact that the n. S. A. Was collecting records even beyond the broad authorization provided under the program the n. S. A. Should not be permitted to resume this program now the freedom act gives the n. S. A. The ability to build a network with the Telecommunications Companies to record the phone calls and personal messages not just of the suspects but of anyone that they are in contact with. Voted to allow it to proceed for debate i will vote against that it is better than the usa patriot act but it doesnt go far enough in my mind in protecting all Civil Liberties. We find that were spending resources for no benefit in terms of Public Safety and real just in terms of freedom and liberty and this is why i voted against the freedom act when they said it would fix the problems inherent in the patriot act just stop spying on innocent americans instead of trying to make it legal when the freedom act came down it was a way to try to ease americans and say no no were going to make sure we work out the kinks but i think americans know better than that because and thats what dan coats is saying here is that anything the n. S. A. And sometimes the n. S. A. Just gets surveillance information thats just hundreds and pages of nothing and theyve actually come out saying that it doesnt really help resolve or solve any terrorism or investigate terrorism activities so because of this though now they can send that or they can decimate that disseminate that information out to the cia to other players to the f. B. I. And to people who might not have the knowledge of who really is a threat which is going to put a lot of americans at risk certainly of these privacy violations so yes youre allowed to surveil youre allowed to keep your country safe from terrorism from these kinds of acts but at the rate that it infringes on the privacy rights of people who have absolutely no known ties to terrorism thats where it gets a little bit tricky. Or im moving on now a u. S. Congresswoman who say she was planning to visit her grandmother in the west stated she will no longer be making the trip. To israel granting rashida to leave a visa on humanitarian grounds overturning earlier decision to deny her entry the Democratic Party representative who has the courage support for the controversial boy taught to Israel Movement of this to say about her fight for palestinian rights. But never mind only youre talking about 30 to. 30. All of the work i need to know if. You. Israels original decision to leave as well as representative iran no more came immediately after President Donald Trump tweeted that the person will be allowed access israel then reiterated that foreigners who publicly call for a boycott of the country will be stopped from entering the netanyahu government streetman to all of the 2 muslim lawmakers who provoked reaction in washington to. Israel doesnt advance its case as a taller and democracy or and they vary in a u. S. Ally by barring elected members of congress from a visit in because of their political views i strongly condemn this decision by the Israeli Government which undermines the ability for our 2 allied countries to have the frank open and it times difficult discussions that we must have in order to ensure israel remains secure and democratic nation israels analysis and treaty congresswoman and omar is beneath the dignity of the great state of israel its perhaps worth noting that critics of israel also face penalties within america its the anti boycott which was passed 2 years ago allows us to cut ties with contractors who support sanctions against israel it was designed to combat boycott divestment and sanctions efforts that b. D. S. Group targeting israel over its building of settlements in the palestinian territories critics of the legislation argue that it violates the u. S. Constitution which states that political boycotts are protected by the 1st amendment weve got the thoughts of the Green Party Candidate for new York City Council on this. It is a double standard but actually whats interesting about this is that the fact that there is sort of this retaliation is tarnished meant for individuals businesses that are joining the Boycott Campaign the thoughts of the violation of the men i mean every american i mean were allowed to point any any or get involved politically with issues that are evil and i think what you see is you how Israeli Government and also elements in our own us that france. And some in the us its not. A 9 year old german girl has been told by a burden court that she cant join the countrys most prestigious boys choir breaking down the case of the debates it has triggered here sensitive. Nobody likes rejection and no one wants to hear that not good enough but it seems for one family in germany no just isnt option picture a 9 Year Old Girl who just wanted to sing her mother says shes got the voice of an angel and that the best place in the city for her training is the berlin state and cathedral choir set up in the 15th century its one of the oldest and most renowned choirs in the country and its pretty much just got 2 rules you have to be over 5 to addition czech and youve got to be a male ah undeterred the god apply twice and was rejected both times but try try try again 3rd time lucky for an old dition before the door was once again slammed in her face but the choir is adamant gender has got nothing to do with the acoustic pattern of a choir is part of its artistic freedom the rejection was not predominantly about her gender and she would have been successful had her voice matched the desired sound characteristics of a boys choir out unsurprisingly of the decision struck a wrong chord with the girls mother who is now taking the choir to court over gender inequality she says shes got a letter from the dean of berlins university of the arts which the choir is affiliated to and which its written that aggarwal never sing in a boys choir also argue that as an institution receiving state funds rejecting female singers contravenes germanys gender Discrimination Laws now many have weighed in on the side of the choir saying that mixing it would bring an end to its traditional sound nobody has said girls can sing as well but the tumble is different and judging that should be left to the musicians and musicologists anyone who wants to misunderstood gender equality here is a cultural essence this standoff between gender equality and autistic freedom isnt exactly new Music Professionals and academics alike have been debating the. Anatomical differences of boys and girls voices for years saying the former has a purity the latter just cant attain and just last year the famous british soprano signal Lesley Garrett called out all boys choirs for being stuck in the past backward looking traditionalist argue that theres an exclusive purity in the boys voice but i think thats just nonsense its an excuse to hand on male privilege and perpetuate a dominant male gender stereotype and male power but not ready to dump the carrot secure in his choir rolled out a very diplomatic arent we recognise different tasks to contribute to the tower female singers make to the choral scene here at cambridge were especially proud to follow mixed voice quiet kings voices which was formed 20 years ago precisely to give women students depart you need to sing choral music in the chapel we all know parents will do anything for that children but trying to shake up an institution that hasnt changed in over half a millennia now that dedication. 2028 democratic president ial hopeful Bernie Sanders has been forced to clarify comments he made about the Washington Post on monday after they senator from vermont also accused of pedal conspiracy theories by suggesting the papers editorial position reflects the interests of its owner billionaire jeff bezos or you tube users is on the phone call youre watching because what you do absolutely. Doesnt work what i think is. There is a framework you go through the divorce also c. E. O. Fritz i think anybody you know how more can i move on. Then i talk about all the time and then i wonder why but washington which is owned by jumping through on top of thought on the right weve got articles about i dont know what. Senator sanders is a member of a large club of politicians of every ideology who complain about their coverage contrary to the Conspiracy Theory the senator seems to favor jeff bezos allows our newsroom to operate with full independence as our reporters and editors can attest. Well Bernie Sanders has long been a vocal critic of Corporate Media arguing that they mis represent his views and ultimately act in the interests of fame money to elite. Working families that should not have to subsidize the wealthiest people jeff bezos made a leben 1000000000 dollars last year they didnt pay a nickel in federal income taxes wealthy people should stop paying their fair share of taxes etc. Bernie sanders makes like skin crawl and i cant even identify for you what exactly it is because i see him as sort of a pro woman candidate or he could seriously bashers billionaires flaming which many of the problems Many Americans most americans have suffered just missed most is he just man the world or something just of course he is you know. Because hes threatening the class interests and working on it trying to keep him through being elected president we will be even more static were the billionaire class and. Its definitely an obstacle because they have mormons and conforms and they can reach almost all americans the influence all americans think about but who clearly has a discrete message flung you that is resonating with his voters and supporters in the den already you could get the nomination he could be true if you gets the general election but they are the Washington Post on here in the south it would be great to offer who think were looking at all voting just democratic but with independents and even some republicans he would have to decide to send it up to him for the media who are against him and a good. Required to meet i think both candidates. Lets head to hong kong where another weekend of demonstrations is in full swing this time rallies have been held in support of all as well as in opposition to the authorities in the chinese semi autonomous territory the pro democracy protesting promises of teachers turned out to show support for the meaning behind the move but they were originally calling for the withdrawal of a controversial extradition bill but have since adopted a much broader set of the months those include the resignation of hong kongs leader during long term democratic elections on the inquiry into alleged Police Brutality concerns are growing however that the Ongoing Campaign is putting the city special status in jeopardy and risking intervention from china. Still ahead raising a glass to a Better Future the homemade chernobyl vodka which is aiming to raise money for those inside the exclusion zone but just how easy will it be to swallow we find out. When else should seem wrong when all along just dont hold. Any cue ball to get to shape out these days become educated and engaged equals betrayal. When something you find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. What politicians do. They put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president. Some want to. Let you go right to the press this is why before 3 of them or you could get. Interested always in the waters in the.

The head of germanys federal police has voiced concern over rising levels of far right hate speech he warned it could lead to the formation of new extremist groups terrorist cells in the country for several years now with fluctuations we have seen an increase in violent politically motivated crimes coming from the far right we are also seeing a risk of terrorist groups forming. Asked some figures few German Authorities registered over 8600. 00 right wing extremist offense it is in the 1st half of 29000. 00 thats a close to a 1000 more than jury in the same period last year but the spike the increase the number of Violent Crimes stayed roughly the same heres a brief look at the scale of the countrys problem with far right extremism. One case stop potentially highlights the threat from the far right was the murder of the politician walter luka he was a member of angloamerican a cd you party in the us a strong supporter of migrant rights you received Death Threats and was killed with a gunshot to the head day beginning of june at his home his suspected killers believed to harbor extreme right wing needs a low the police have said theyre working hard to tackle extremism martin told her from the left party in germany doesnt believe enough is being done. And a problem is that the right wing extreme right wing they are open for violence they do lists as well of any nice. Busy group caught in all cloyd such is the extreme right wing group and they had a list of 25000 people who do politics christians who do activism for refugees we have a saying in germany who say that the authorities blind on the right eye that means they dont really know what the right wing of the review extreme right wing doing and during the last years they did a lot of movies Asian Organisation specially be extremists. Militarist and so we are the increase of 4. Crimes of the right we we as well we. Know are you people of color. Green people. Dangers or abused people in the last you. Know a few people would be willing to visit the site of a Nuclear Disaster if you were still youd think would want to buy products made in the exclusion zone but a group of british scientists is looking to change that they have been working on producing a vodka and made with grain from churn opal we spoke to professor jim smith from Portsmouth University he says the atomic spirit is completely safe and has been tested in world trees. But what we did we set up an experimental sailcloth in the main exclusion zone about 20 kilometers south of the power station and it is not one of the most radioactive parts of the exclusion zone but obviously theres some contamination there and so we looked 1st at the transfer of radioactivity and crops and we grew raw and so then when we amended the grain and distilled it to produce alcohol we as we expected because any chemist knows that when you to still something you leave a lot of the impurities in the waste product and not in the distillate alcohol so what we found was that when we measured the distillate alcohol we couldnt with very sophisticated equipment we couldnt find any radioactivity except a natural carbon 14 which would get in any spirit during. The noble disaster shot the soviet union on the world 33 years ago almost 600000 people were affected by the catastrophe of the Nuclear Plant according to the World Health Organization jim smith sees the vodka project is not about grabbing headlines but promoting recovery. The economically depressed area. All we want to do is make make money in order to help develop that area and support the communities that have been affected its a long road you know 30 years after the chernobyl accident and there are still issues particularly around the perception of radiation risk and people worried about the radiation perhaps when we scientists think the shouldnt they insert things in forms from that point of view to show that we can make a Consumer Product that hopefully people will want to drink so i have to say that this is technically this is not of its more like a 30 high quality moonshine than what were producing is something using the more traditional way thats been done in ukraine belarus russia poland for many centuries to our distil that he thinks and i agree the good way of doing it because it keeps more of the flavor of the original grain and weve had a expert tasting and they like the flavor.
