Routes they say it was update for you 1st off to the u. S. Where theres a wide reaching reaching Domestic Surveillance Program that could be back on the cards very soon the Trump Administration is calling on lawmakers that to permanently reauthorize the National Security agency to use it the request was made in a letter sent to congress on thursday by the now former National Intelligence director dan coats additionally his appeal also revealed that the controversial Call Detail Records Program had actually been suspended after collecting more information than was legally allowed spying program falls under a section of the usa freedom act which is set to expire in december and now 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. I am 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 environment 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 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 to be. 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 of 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 so 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. The u. S. Justice department issued a warrant calling for the seizure of an iranian oil supertanker released by gibraltar on thursday the document says the ship the oil its carrying a nearly 1000000. 00 in cash subject to fall for 2 for violating u.

R. B. 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. Carmel to continuing pounding the tank and you know this by the legal facade 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.

Escort for the oil tankers passage and through this foremost and the users worries that once this tanker crisis between iran and the use is resolved then the u. K. Will pull out and yours will be a coalition are 1. 9 year old german girls being told by a berlin court that she can join the countrys most protests boys choir breaking down the case on the debate that its triggered his saskatoon. 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 band then 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 check 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 for all 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 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 its written 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 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 sacrifices 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 of the law to just cant attain and just last year the famous british the promising a Leslie 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 carrots kune came squire 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 choir kings voices which was formed 20 years ago precisely to give women students the opportunity 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 but dedication. To us congresswoman who says she was planning to visit her grandmother in the west bank has stated she will no longer be making the trip thats despite israel granting rashida to leave a visa on humanitarian grounds overturning an earlier decision to deny her entry the Democratic Party representative whose declared repeated support for the controversial Boycott Israel Movement had this to say about her fight for palestinian rights. But never mind only theyre talking about 70. Very. Normal. Things. Israels original decision to ban rashid italy as well as representative. Came shortly after President Trump tweeted that the not be given entry israel then reiterated the 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 nor makers has provoked reaction in one. And to. Israel doesnt advance its case as a tolerant democracy or and theyve ruined us ally by barring elected members of congress from 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 taylor and omar is beneath the dignity of the great state of israel and its worth noting the critics of israel can also face penalties within the us itself the ante boy called acts which was passed 2 years ago allows states to cut ties with contractors who support sanctions against the country it was designed to combat the b. D. S. Or boycott divestment and sanctions group which targets israel over its building of settlements in the palestinian territories or critics of that legislation argue that it violates the u. S. Constitution which states that political boycotts are protected by the 1st amendment we call the thoughts of new york politician. 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 is punishment for individuals businesses that are joining the boycott. By english i mean every american i mean were allowed one any or all or all politically with issues that i think with some seeds you know its really also elements in us that friends but also its not. To hong kong now where the 11th consecutive weekend of demonstrations has been taking place and police and protesters face off earlier in one of the citys busiest shopping districts rallies were held both in support of and opposition to the authorities in the chinese semi autonomous territory among the prodemocracy protests were originally calling for the withdrawal of a controversial extradition bill since adopted a much broader set of demands those include the resignation of hong kong need to carry lamb democratic elections and an inquiry into alleged Police Brutality concerns are growing though that the Ongoing Campaign is putting the citys special status in jeopardy and risking intervention from china. Here without the international theres a stark warning over the rise of the far right from germanys police chief well take you through that among all stories after the break. A lot of people talk about ponzi scam. To people you know in a pond just came and. Join me every thursday on the alex simon show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. Seemed wrong. Just dont call. Me. Yet to say proud disdain become active. And engaged equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. And back Us 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 that the papers editorial position reflects the interests of its owner the billionaire amazon founder jeff bezos. If you job is on the phone call your Washington Post what you do absolutely. Doesnt work what i think is in media in general there is a framework you go to. The Washington Post office and c. N. N. Operates. On anybody you know how much amazon paid in taxes what. The united what about all the time and then i wonder why the Washington Post which is owned by jumping through on time thought all the right i think we got off the book i dont know where 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 about he sound as has long been a vocal critic of Corporate Media arguing that they misrepresent his views and ultimately back to 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 stop paying their fair share of tax thats out of. Bernie sanders makes me 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 inner most americans suffer just means most is richest man the world works and theres of course he is you know. Because hes threatening the class interests and working on it trying to keep him through being elected president he would be even wants and it were the billionaire class and. Its definitely an obstacle because they have more dollars 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 resonated with his voters and supporters in the den already get the nomination he could be charged if you get sued or general lection but they are the Washington Post on here in the south b. B. It would be great to off the group who think were looking at all by. Senators up there for the media who are against and against them would be quite. The media i think both candidates. And african spy scandals thrust the chinese tech giant while way back into the headlines soft allegations were published in the wall street journal the newspaper allege that while by technicians and at. 2 cases personally helped african governments snoop on their political opponents uganda and zambia allegedly enlisted the companys assistance folks wiretapping conversations cracking through encrypted communications and conducting surveillance while way denies the accusation is claiming its never engaged in hacking activities is part of an interview given to r. T. On the 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 you know. Currently the worlds 2nd largest producer of smartphones and has been in the spotlight in recent months over its Large Scale Investments in developing 5 g. Mobile technology in may the United States put restrictions on the company citing National Security concerns of the washington accused of spying on governments for beijing which while way is also vehemently denied strategy Vice PresidentAndrew Williamson again told us security is a top priority. Its a private Company Owned by its employees as i say theres about 100000. 00 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 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. Germanys most Senior Police officers voiced concern over the rising levels of far right hate speech is warning that 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 right wing extremist offenses in the 1st half of 2019 thats 900 more than during the same period last year but despite the increase the number of Violent Crimes that stayed roughly the same has a brief look at the scale of the countrys problem with far right extremism. One case that potentially highlights the threat from the far right was the murder of politician bolton luka he was a member of Angela Merkels c. D. U. Party and was a strong supporter of migrant rights hed received Death Threats and was killed in june at his house with a gunshot to the head a suspected killer is believed to have an extreme right wing views. Although the police say theyre working hard to tackle extremism art and also from Germanys Left Party doesnt believe enough is being done. And the problem is that the right wing extreme right wing. Often for violence lists as well or for any nice one busy group called do not call it socialist extreme right wing group and they had a list of 25000 people who do politics christians who do activism for refugees we have are seeing in germany which say that the or its youth blind on the right that means they dont really look at what the right wing and the real extreme right wing are doing and during the last years they did a lot of what we use Asian Organization is special we can be extremists and militarist and so we are the increase of the crimes of the right wing we as well we have a lot of scenarios people of color left wing people being in danger or abused for being people in the last year. And a move to garner support ahead of local elections said moscow the Russian Communist Party held a rally this saturday in the city center 4000 reportedly turned out for the event which was sanctioned by the russian Government Communist Party leader Gennady Zyuganov addressed the crowd to try to rally voter support for the ballot which takes place in December September in a few weeks time. Thats it for now all of your next update after the case report to see. What weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its clear. If it werent for him dacian let it be an arms race in his own off and spearing Dramatic Development only closely im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. What do you do before you came here where did you work before you came here when you lived. 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 the Death Penalty there are some people because of what they did have given up the right to live among us somebody even proven innocent off 2 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. It. With the truth of this twosome it will. My will for some period this is their. Role is going to say of course the business with the most to go through. This isnt with folks who. Got a slow slow slow obama slow motion. On. The case in africa i know and that could be a bios to look at the money but its diplo its so beautiful. Just choose the fluent souls with. Whom you have to when you want. To move. Why a paradise with some old around turned into a round the experimentation field the agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants theres no question otherwise why would that the Chemical Company workers themselves be geared up that suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments that often in day you have many of these people who have one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of Environmental Research going on in hawaii whether these Companies Feel they can get away with this because the people have less political power. Either im backscatter this is that has a report. Lot of people talk about ponzi scams but do people really know what a ponzi scheme is stacie 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 keizer 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 is now thinkable of course this is the german eels and this is the u. S. 10 year yield and as you see since basically the European Union finally began quantitative easing in earnest theyve gone into negative territory i tell you whats remarkable is that you know we made a film like 10 years ago about the collapse of iceland we went to iceland about 6 months 9 months before it collapsed and predicted that it would collapse because it was a serious ponzi scheme where the banks were lending. To speculate and the result of that speculation in the Housing Market would be used as collateral at the bank to create more lending so it became a huge ponzi scheme course a collapsed now people talk about these negative Interest Rates they think its the result of some policy by someone in doing some economic bennett benefit but they dont understand is that is the biggest bubble in history the sovereign bond bubble is by far the biggest ponzi scheme bubble its
