The clock across the world this is r. T. International from the team myself you know male hello and welcome a wide reaching Domestic Surveillance Program could be back on the cards stateside the trumpeter ministration has called on u. S. Lawmakers to permanently reauthorize powers given to the National Security agency the request was made in a letter sent to congress on thursday signed by former National Intelligence director down coats additionally his people to reveal the controversial Call Detail Records Program actually being suspended after collecting more information that was legally allowed the spying program falls under a section of the usa freedom act which is set to expire in december coming up and brings us more. 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 his 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. And voted to allow it to proceed for the. You know i will vote against it it is better than the usa patriot act but it doesnt go far enough in my mind in protecting our 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 the super 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 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. Cant update on a story we have been closely following for some time the u. S. Justice department has issued a warrant calling for the seizure of an arena oil supertanker release spine gibraltar on thursday the documents so used to ship the oil its carrying nearly 1000000. 00 and are subject to forfeiture for violating u.

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 she got back from all dition before the door was once again slammed in her face but the choir is adamant agendas 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 belinda university of the arts which the choir is affiliated to and which is threaten that aggarwal never sing in a boys choir boys 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 secretary rice is a cultural essence this standoff between gender equality and artistic freedom isnt exactly new Music Professionals and academics alike have been debating the. Anatomical differences of boys and girls voice since the year is 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 hang 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 quarrels seen here at cambridge were especially proud to follow mixed voice quiet kings voices which was formed 20 years ago precisely to give women students the parts 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 over half a millennia now about dedication.

Ally by bahrain 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 its 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 well it is worth noting that critics of israel can also face penalties within america itself the anti boycott which was passed 2 years ago allows us states to cut ties with contractors who support sanctions against the country it was designed to boycott the b. D. S. Or boycott divestment and sanctions 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 the political boycotts are protected by the 1st amendment we got the thoughts of the Green Party Candidate for new york city council. I think it is a double standard but actually what is interesting about this is that the fact that there is sort of this retaliation these hunnish meant for individuals businesses that are joining. The thoughts of violation of. Every american. One any or all or all politically with issues that i think that some see is you Israeli Government also elements. That friends are almost as not. Lets bring you to hong kong you know are 11th consecutive weekend of demonstrations are in full swing police protestors have been facing off in one of the citys busiest shopping districts earlier rallies were held both in support and in opposition of the authorities in the chinese semi autonomous territory the months of prodemocracy protests were originally calling for the withdrawal of a controversial extradition bill but have since adopted a much broader set of them and those include the resignation of hong kongs leader sorry love democratic elections inquiry into alleged Police Brutality concerns are growing however about the Ongoing Campaign is putting the city special status in jeopardy risking intervention from china. You will be lead to actress and disneys upcoming remake of the movie moolah is facing a backlash for her stance on the protests. I also support the Hong Kong Police you can attack me now but he seemed for a hong kong. I was happy when disney studios in now say theyre making a new mom she was my childhood hero it is disappointing to. The actress who plays her does not empathize with the protesters in hong kong theyre fighting for their homeland like milan. Disappointed at wall dismay kompany for selecting and leading actress that openly supports Police Brutality and corruption and she completely destroyed decent good image definitely will not seen one life action movie boycott milan. How tone deaf do you have to be to support Police Brutality when you just film the character whos supposed to stand against oppression is rule 4 pound son. Hong kong and china are my birthplace and my home i love my country and my home. I really hope that hong kong can return to peace soon. Still ahead germanys police chief has a stark warning over the rise of the far right story and more after this. A lot of people talk about ponzi scam to people i know in a ponzi scheme and. In a world of big partisan. Lot and conspiracy its time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that Mainstream Media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now were watching closely watching the hawks. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confront dacian let it be an arms race is often spearing Dramatic Development only mostly im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. 90 minutes into the Program Welcome back 2020 democratic president ial hopeful Bernie Sanders has been forced to clarify comments he made about the Washington Post on monday thats after they vermont was accused of peddling conspiracy theories by suggesting the papers editorial position reflects that of the interests of its owner billionaire jeff bezos. If you job is on the phone call you got to watch you most what you do absolutely. Doesnt work what i think is. There is a framework you go through the course. See. Anybody here know how much amazon paid in taxes what. They and i talk about all the time and then i wonder why the Washington Post which is owned by just saying something on time about not on my particular good article 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 all reporters and editors can attest Bernie Sanders has long been a vocal critic of Corporate Media arguing and they misrepresent his views on ultimately act in the interests of the elite. The working families that should not have to subsidize the wealthiest people just big souls made 11000000000 dollars last year they didnt pay a nickel in federal income taxes wealthy people should start 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 wealth but many of the problems that Many Americans most americans suffer just missed most is he just man the World Records and theres of course his you know. Because hes threatening the class interests and work on trying to keep him from being elected president you can beat him almost at a word. Class and. Its definitely an obstacle because they have the mormons collar and conforms and they could reach almost all americans the influence all americans think about but who clearly has a discrete message from the book review that was resonating with his voters and supporters in the den already to get the nomination he could be trying if you get synergy our election. Most of your. Grade off. Theyre all just having. Some problems and he would have to. Send. The media against. An african spy scandal house thrust chinese tech giant while way back into the headlines with the allegations published in the wall street journal the newspaper reported that way technicians and at least 2 cases personally helped african governments all their political opponents uganda allegedly enlisted the companys assistance for wiretapping conversations cracking through encrypted communications conducting surveillance while way denied the i could get occupations claiming they have never been engaged in hiking activities here as part of the interview given to r. T. We refute it quite vociferously again it just feels like its one of those stories that come up now and again go to completely verify and it sounds like even all the companies that have been cited in terms of involvement have made it very clear they dont even have contracts in. One of the countries involved so it looks like the story is unfortunately really just fake and we have to suffer with you know. Huawei is currently the worlds 2nd largest producer of smartphones and has been in the spotlight recently over its large scale investment in developing 5 g. Technology back in may the u. S. Put restrictions on the company citing National Security concerns after washington accused qual way of spying on governments for beijing which were way has also been mentally denied strategy Vice President under williamson again to list security is a top priority its a private Company Owned by its employees a story theres about 100000 shareholders and to me as someone thats come to this company i think its extraordinary the benefits of running an organization like that because people dont necessarily just pick up their paycheck at the end of the week of the end of the month they have a real vested interest in the commercial success but you really have to check everything assume nothing. And trust almost nobody and thats thats the process in the system that we stick to and work with many of our partners around the world im not. Ok moving on the head of germanys federal police voiced concern over rising levels of far right hate speech he warned it could lead to the for mation of new extremist groups on 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 German Authorities registered over 8600 right wing extremist offenses in the 1st half of 2918 months 900 more than during the same period last year but the spike the increase the number of Violent Crime stayed roughly the same heres a brief look at the scale of the countrys problem with far right extremism. Well one case then potentially highlights the threat from the far right was the murder of the politician walter luka he was a member of the americal c. D. U. Party and was a strong supporter of my good rights you received Death Threats and was killed with a gunshot to the head of his home in june he is a suspected killer is believed to excuse me harbor extreme right wing views although they police have said theyre working hard to tackle extremism martin told her from Germanys Left Party told this he does not believe enough spindle. And the problem is that the right wing extreme right wing they are all for violence they do lists as well for any nice. Group called do not call it specialist 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 which say that the authorities blind on the right that means they dont really know what the right wing of the real extreme right wing doing and during the last years they did a lot of what we do Vision Organization is special we can be extremists and militarist and so we are the increase of. Crimes of the right wing we us well we have a lot of scenarios people of color left wing people being dangers or abuse being people in the last you. Are right another slice of the kaiser report starts in moments then ill be back with all the stories are nice for him being busy putting together in 30 its a start in terms. Of him where did you work before you came here when you live well death row in many us States Capital punishment is still practiced convicted prisoners can spend years waiting for execution but most of the time the victims families they are very much in favor of the Death Penalty there are some people because of what they did have given up the right to live among us some even proven innocent doctor years on death row and how many more exonerations is it going to take before we as a society realize that this is not working and we actually do something about. In this community there are people who believe that its ok to sell fractional food on my table its really hard there are no jobs and you see that ive got kids that ask and as a parent. I can come up with lots of arguments and theres a lot of conflict within the game between the teams most of the conflict i would say overall is around money and most of them money is made. Close one on the childrens cosimo each other is Good Business the state of california alone makes 6000000000. 00 a year off to prison complex just to get some point in your life where. You dont care anymore nobody cares about you so you dont care mind anything. Oh hi there im max kaiser this is the kaiser report. Lot of people talk about ponzi scams but the people we know in a ponzi scheme is stacy well of course weve been talking about ponzi schemes because he cant taper a ponzi and that was attempted over the past year with quantitative tightening in Interest Rates rising obviously that has all fallen apart especially in europe where we have 15 trillion and negative yielding debt and went up by over 600000000000 and one day just in the past week and now i want to look at a headline about the unthinkable becoming thinkable of course its always been think about here in kaiser report we always think outside the box but here in the Mainstream Media theyre saying could treasury yields ever fall into negative territory and vespers are wondering whether u. S. Treasury yields might follow the trend witnessed in germany or other sovereign markets and eventually fall into negative territory the unthinkable
