You may be training in from. My names you know in our top story a wide reaching domestic surveillance program. The card states signed the trumpet ministration is calling 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 dan coats additionally his appeal. Cole detail Records Program actually been suspended after collecting more information than was legally allowed the spying program falls under a section of the usa freedom which is set to expire in december. Reports. 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. They have villany 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 a real cost 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. Ok an update on a story weve been closely following the u. S. Justice department has issued a warrant calling for the seizure of an iranian oil supertanker released by gibraltar on thursday now the documents say is that the ship the oil thats carrying nearly 1000000. 00 in cash are subject to forfeiture for violating u. S. Sanctions all around the war and also cites bunker fraud Money Laundering and terrorism related stuff to its it alleges additionally to iran this revolutionary guards all lawfully attempted to make use of the United StatesFinancial System to support a listed shipments of oil to syria. On earlier rounds top diplomat sharply criticized the u. S. For attempting to block 1st his release all of the ship which was 1st seized by British Royal marines off the coast of japan after last month. Having field to accomplish its objectives through its economic terrorism including depriving Cancer Patients of medicine the us attempted to abuse the legal system to steal our property on the high seas this piracy attempt is indicative of trumpet ministrations contempt for the law. While having performed small maneuvers on friday defense will remain stationed in japan to water it assigns the captain reportedly no longer wants to keep command of the ship gibraltar is chief minister sais that the tension was lifted after the british overseas territory received formal written assurances from iran but it would not ship oil to syria in violation of the usage of. The grace one is therefore now released from detention under the sanctions act by operation of law on the 30th of august i received assurances from the republic of iran that if we leased the destination of the grace one would not be an entity that is subject to European Union sanctions i welcome that assurance they are really an authority you deny about the grace one was ever shipping oil to syria in breach of e. U. Sanctions 2 weeks after the vessel was impounded iran sees the british flag tanker in the strait of hormuz claiming it violated International Law the us then later announced its intention to create a Naval Coalition to combat so named a rainy integration in the strait middle east oil is often a subbie thinks the u. S. May have overplayed its hand with its british ally. Very skeptical the u. K. And gibraltar officials will heed the call by the u. S. Car meant to continuing pounding the tank and you know this by the legal facade it is a safe bet that given the fact that iran is also holding a british bank this is part of a quid pro quo whereby the release of the iranian will be followed shortly in the immediate future by the release of the british tanker held by iran we know that the u. K. Government and the boys johnson as well as those in gibraltar are rather annoyed by this lingering crisis and they want to wash their hands off of it and the u. S. Is trying every trick in the book to linger describes this and to keep you as part of this socalled mara time. Escort for the oil tankers passage in through the state of hormuz and the users worries that once this tanker crisis between iran and the use case is resolved then the u. K. Will pull out and yours will be a coalition are won. A lot of attention to this next story and 9 year old german girl has been told by a burl in court she can join the countrys most prestigious boys choir breaking down the case and of course stop the battle that has triggered her. 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 bilin 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 that time lucky she got back from all dition before the door was once again slammed in her face but the choir is adamant agenda 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 belinda unify us to the arts which the choir is affiliated to and which is threatened that a ga will 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 quiet 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 3 years saying the former has a purity the latter just cant attain and just last year the famous british soprano said no Lesley Garrett called out all boys choirs for being stuck in the past backward looking traditionalist argue that there is 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 choral scene here at cambridge were especially proud of foam mixed voice choir 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 over half a millennia now that dedication. Ok lets move all know are u. S. Congresswoman who said she was planning to visit her grandmother in the west bank has stated she will no longer be making the trip thats this point israel granting would tell you a visa on humanitarian groans overturning an earlier decision to deny her entry the Democratic Party representative who hers the 3rd repeated support for the controversial Boycott Israel Movement at this to say about her fight for palestinian right. Never mind only youre talking about 30 to. 30. Dollars of the word out a. Warning. For you this is. Israels original decision to tell you about as well as a representative of illinois came shortly after President Trump tweeted that the purse be given in 3 israel and then reiterated that foreigners who publicly call for a boycott of the country will be stopped from coming in the netanyahu governments treatment of the 2 american muslim lawmakers provoked reaction in washington to. Israel doesnt advance its case as a taller and democracy or and they vary in u. S. 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 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 it is worth noting that critics of israel can also face penalties within the us itself the boycott which was passed 2 years ago allows states to cut ties with contractors who supports actions against the country it was designed to combat the b d s thats the 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 that political boycotts are protected by the 1st amendment we got the thoughts of new york politician morning. I think it is a double standard but actually whats interesting about this is that the fact that there is sort of this retaliation these tarnish meant for individuals businesses that are. Buying. Every american i mean were allowed any or all or all politically issues that i think. Is really. Elements. That. Are almost as not. Right lets take a look at homecoming where the 11th consecutive weekend of demonstrations is Ongoing Police on protesters faced off earlier in one of the citys busiest shipping shopping districts earlier. Rallies were held both in support. To the authorities and 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 demands those include the resignation of hong kong leader. Democratic election. Choir into alleged Police Brutality concerns are growing though not the only Going Campaign is putting the city special status in jeopardy there for risking intervention from the show. Us a story we will be closely following also after the break germanys police chief has a stark warning with the far right stay with or change. In a world of big. And conspiracy its time. To dig deeper to hit the stories that made history media refuses to tell. More than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. And shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. Make this manufacture consent to public wealth. When the ruling classes protect themselves. With the crime. Be the one percent. We can all middle of the room sick. Though again us a democratic president ial hopeful Bernie Sanders has been forced to clarify comments he made about the Washington Post on monday the vermont senator was accused of peddling conspiracy theories by suggesting the papers editorial position reflects the interests of its owner billionaire founder jeff bezos. My future is on the phone call you go to Washington Post what you do absolutely. It doesnt work what i think is in media in general there is a framework you go where its on top of the Washington Post office on c. N. N. Every time. Anybody you know how much amazon paid and how what. They and i talk about all the time and then i wonder why the Washington Post which is owned by jumping through on time of thought on the right i think we got off the book i dont know that 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 Bernie Sanders has long been a vocal critic of Corporate Media arguing they mis represent his views and ultimately act in the interests of the moneyed elite. The working families that should not have to subsidize the wealthiest people just. Made a leben 1000000000 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 my 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 playing me which many of the problems many more most americans just. Miss most is richest man in the world or something just as course he is you know. Because hes threatening the class interests and work on trying to keep one through being elected president will be even more static were the billionaire class and. Its definitely an obstacle because they have mormons and conforms and make you rich. Almost all americans influence all americans think. He has a discrete message. That resonated with his voters and supporters in the right already get the nomination. If you get our election but they are one of your. Great off the. Democratic independents and even some republicans he would have to. Send up. Against in. The media i think the. Spice scandal has thrust chinese tech giant qual way back into the headlines were published in the wall street journal the newspaper alleged technicians in at least 2 cases personally help african governments snoop on their political opponents uganda allegedly enlisted the companys assistance for wiretapping conversations cracking through encrypted communications conducting surveillance while way denies the accusations claiming its never engaged in hooking activities heres part of an interview in fact given to r. T. On this issue. 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 other 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 knees and we have to suffer with the you know. Way is currently the worlds 2nd largest producer of smartphones and has been in the spotlight in recent months over its large scale investment in developing find g. Mobile technology and maybe us put restrictions on the company citing National Security concerns after washington accused while way of spying all new governments for beijing which while way has also been a bentley to night strategy Vice President under williamson again to list security as a top priority its a private Company Owned by its employees as i say 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 a process in the system that we stick to and work with many of our partners around the world on that. But i want to bring you know to germany where the countrys most Senior Police officer has voiced concern over rising levels of far right hate speech he warned it could lead to the formation of new extremist groups and 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. 00 right wing extremist offenses in the 1st half of 2019 thats 900 more than youre in the same period last year but the spike the increase the number of Violent Crimes they had roughly the same heres a brief look at they scale of the countrys problem with far right extremism. Well one horrific case that potentially highlights the threat from the far right was the murder of the politician walter luka he was a member of angler merkel c. D. U. Party he was a strong supporter as well migrant rights he received Death Threats and was killed in june at his home with a gunshot to the head his suspected killer is believed to harbor extreme right wing views although the police say they are working hard to tackle extremism martin donor from Germanys Left Party does not believe enough is being done. And the problem is that the right wing extreme right wing they opened for violence they did lists as well of any nice place out of one busy group called the naacp cloyd specialist extreme right wing group and they had a list of 25000 people who do politics persons who do activism for refugees we have a saying in german which say that the authorities blind on the right that means they dont really know what the right wing and the real extreme right wing doing and during the last years they did a lot of Movie Division organization especially in the extremist and militarist way and so we have the increase of. Crimes of the right wing we s. Well we have a lot of. People of color left wing people. In danger or abused by right wing people in the last year. Ok lets bring you some images noise from the russian capital where in a move to garner support ahead of local elections in moscow the communist party held a rally earlier this saturday in the center of the capital for thoughts and people reportedly turned out for the event which was sanctioned by the russian Government Communist Party leader Gennady Zyuganov also addressed the crowds he urged voters to back his partys candidates in the moscow code so actions there say its for early september. Ok uses only come next its time to get rid ducted tonights once more cesar. A lot of people talk about policies games to people you know in a ponzi scheme and. In his community there are people who believe that its ok to sell frac food on my table its really hard there are no jobs and you see that ive got kids and ask and as a parent. I can come up with a logical argument theres a lot of conflict in the game between the teams most of the conflicts i would say are over most rahmani and most of them money has made. Us want to know each other because he knows each other is good because the state of california alone makes 6000000000. 00 a year of prison complexes you get some 20 year life where. You dont care anymore nobody cares about you so you dont care mind anything. What politicians to do something to. Put themselves on the line they did accept or reject. So when you want to be president. Some want to reach. Out to the right person its like the. 3 of them. That. Im interested. To. Sell for our club are going to jack to the no this is the comedy show were americans in america covering American News are called foreign agents producta look i love you know i love you guys here i love you at home i love all of you but every week in the comments of the emails i get people like i cant believe you know im covering fill in the blank kashmir sudan or colombia where this particular person who was killed in the one to West Virginia for my boss is an ass to me because on local media this time and i look i just i just want to say just want to say i didnt try a higher. Tax. Youre confident got a rash on a 0000 but i cant get everything have you tried out low. And made and not covering a particular topic doesnt mean im controlled opposition for your cousins your secure ways and it doesnt mean im in bed with big rash cream right. On top of that even though its in the title of the show some people dont realize im trying to go up to the story that the Mainstream Media isnt plastering all over your television if you want to see that c. N. N. Is covering then watch the c. N. N. Theres coverage. For example there are large protests going on in hong kong and russia right now not really a secret but our Corporate Media wont tell you about other protests so lets get into some of the censored protests happening around the world. 6 large protests continue in honduras where a few weeks ago the American Embassy was burned by protesters standing up against the neo liberal government and i dont know why the protos burn the embassy did they not see the complaint box because it was right it was right we put it out. For those occasions as reported by the gray zone 10 years ago the democratically elected center last left honduran president manwell was a lie or was whisked away from his residence in a brazen military raid supported by the United States is a lie as removal cleared the path for the interests of big business across the country he was whisked away in a military coup and we stopped the phrase whisked away was reserved for a lie
