International thomas certainly glad to have you with us. In the u. K. A christian doctor who was sacked after refusing to use female pronouns when discussing a trans gender woman has lost his legal fight against his former employers in an interview with r t dr david explained why he refused to back down in dispute. As im a christian i would consider the dishonest use her noting that. Deeply affected my Christian Faith or well. As a doctor its quite simply unscientific. Unproven and therefore a good in good conscience. That i will never refuse to treat any patient that whatever. They are they come from the question here is whether i can be forced to do something and Say Something which goes deep that gets my functions. And then we put it in. And then what the but i desire not to be forced to do something that i cannot do or shoddy edwards has more on the story. Well youre probably familiar with pronouns such as he she and them and respecting them is especially important for the Transgender Community gender nonconforming and binary people however fail to get it right could now cost you your job at least thats the case for one dr he himself was sacked he faced dismissal because he failed to use these pronouns due to his own personal religious beliefs and in a Controversial Court statement it read to his christian values are in direct contradiction with the fundamental rights of others and lack of belief in transgenderism and Conscientious Objection to transgenderism in our judgment incompatible with Human Dignity and conflict with the fundamental rights of others in so far as those beliefs form part of his wind if anything hes going to phrase also does not satisfy the requirement of being worthy of respect in a Democratic Society so whats the case well dr David Margaret as a christian man who worked for the n. H. S. For 26 years now he was subsequently sacked after a conversation with his boss who asked him how would you respond if a 6 foot tall man came into your office and asked to be called mrs or she well dr makary refused and said he would simply not be able to conform to those requests and he was subsequently sacked from his position now the department for work and pensions argues that dr david mark critz fears are in direct breach of the equality act of 2010 on top of all of that the firm that hired the man is also being sued for religious beliefs but the fact remains that the tribunals did rule of course that his beliefs could cause offense and in fact many people in the Trans Community and trans activists say that all of this has psychological ram of ramifications is tantamount to abuse not to mention of course that medical Health Care Professionals should be treating people and not judging people in their opinion well anyway dr david ross perth is now saying he will appeal the decision dr marker of the ruling against him so its a dangerous precedent. I was taken off the shore or and i was i say interrogated or i thought. About were believed by my manager of people the people of the shop floor of the National Health service momentary about their beliefs this is really really the precedents that have been set for my case and thats thats why were really quite shocked at the core perspective very quickly the 1st one is that you know the the Transgender Movement maps into the 2nd one is. The. Crest and its that belief that made us male and female and then sex and pronouns are fixed its not allowable and the ball is a core christian beliefs or christianity is not compatible with modern society or Human Dignity these are very Big Questions each one of those huge is a huge blow to freedom and that i would never refuse to treat any patient of whatever background they are they come from. We asked human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell and christian legal activist Andrea Williams for their views on the story is a religion which actually helps people to understand who they are made in the image of god male and female conflicted fundamentally with his faith and also with his belief as a doctor and have best to treat such a patient there are some passages in the bible which are in conflict with basic human rights and in some paul in the new testament seem to endorse slavery in the Old Testament justifies the killing of gay and lesbian people so we have to grapple with this the reality for him is this that the way in which really to help someone who is confused about their gender is to help them to live in the biological gender in which they were born that would certainly be his way his belief of how to look after a person who is confused about their gender trans people are not confused they have a genuine sincere overwhelming belief that they are something other than they were signed a birth for forcing society forcing medics forcing teachers full seeing doctors forcing the people the general public at large forcing us all to Say Something is that is not true is not kind of is not delusional is not being dishonest offensive for andrea to say that and im sure she would would not want to add to the suffering and indeed the sieved nonrecognition or denial that trans people so often face we now live in a more open liberal Tolerant Society where people no longer have the fear they have to hide away and suppress their desires we live in until the not years and hurrying them very very silently what are curious and heard is not an intellectual exercise that youre at your age when i can. That we are in a debate here please let me speak there are who they are and to call them confused is deeply and profoundly insulting the reality was he realized that the very statement of saying that you made male and female was a statement the cause offense the reality is that the saying that you get left out in the cold is the reality is that our children no longer no longer being taught that they are boys and girls theyre no longer being taught about their being theyre being taught extraordinary things the sexualized is here in our children in culture is absolutely huge and where thats all leading is to add is to a great confusion and a great chaos. For people have been killed and several others wounded after a man armed with a knife attack the Police Headquarters and parents the assailant has been identified as an id specialist of the motives for the stabbing are still unclear as of yet sure of a difference he reports. A deadly night for rampage unfolded just behind me about 100 meters away in the paris police a lunchtime its been confirmed now that 4 people died in that attack we understand that the attack was carried out by one of their own one of their colleagues who also injured several other individuals lets get the latest details now. We have 4 people dead their Staff Members of the Police Headquarters 3 men and one woman an investigation has been opened and is being headed by the police we will seek to establish the motives of the perpetrator who was neutralized by a Police Officer at the scene the presumed attackers age 45 and his home is currently being searched additional searches will take place within the next hours while those investigations now under way Krista Kasten at the interior minister president of france as well as the Prime Minister felipe have all come here to find out exactly what happened there are also being many tributes paid to those officers who lost their lives. Pariss mornin its on the south to noon after this appalling attack on the Police Headquarters the toll is heavy several policemen have lost their lives in my name and that of presents my 1st thoughts go to the families of the victims and their relatives the motive for this attack is not yet clear but one police union described this as being a moment of madness and it is of course just 24 hours since we saw those huge Police Protests across the country with Police Officers talking about the stresses that they face in their work the psychological stress is the sheer amount of work theyre having to do and also the violence they face as they trying to carry out their jobs we spoke to some officers at that march on wednesday to get them to explain those precious to us the best usually 3 today the police have no money and salaries keep filling our status and our pension are being attacked officers are tired with the yellow vast movement there is a lot of work sacrificing their family life and we are expressing a deep depression in our profession. Im here to defend our working conditions the threat to our special pensions status the lack of resources across the board. We are the Police Officers from france not just riot police but also misses all the unions weve all gathered to express our discontent with the administration the silence about the wave of Police Suicides this year we are short of staff short of money we cannot do our job and here to tell the administration that that stress Police Officers are also coming in is due to the volume of work that theyve been doing paris of course in france of course has been at the high alert for terror incidents since 2015 and since then officers support some 23000000 additional hours and much of that has not been paid for them the motive for this attack is no. Actually what we do know is that the assailant was 45 years old he was neutralized at the scene before being was able to attack and kill 4 of his colleagues and injured several of those people all see paris. Us democrats are demanding protection for a whistleblower whose revelations triggered an impeachment inquiry against donald trump an anonymous cia officer alleges the president pressured his ukrainian counterpart to investigate an issue involving joe biden one of his potential rivals in next years race for the White House Trump has dismissed claims of Improper Conduct and branded the informant a spy. Either got a totally wrong made it up or the person giving the information to the whistleblower was dishonest and this country has to find out who that person was because that person is a spy in my opinion the president probably doesnt realize. How dangerous his statements are when he says he wants to expose hes the whistle blower is and those who may have given whistleblower that information. While democrats are keen to protect this particular whistleblower they have been less supportive of other whistleblowers in the past arties killed comments. We are now told that in this dark age of trump tyranny one heroic individual has spoken up like a voice crying out in the wilderness we dont know his name or his occupation but we know that he is good and i think the whistleblower did the right thing i think he followed the law every step of the way the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community found this whistleblower complaint both credible and urgent i want to say thank you also to the whistleblower for having the courage of the bravery to come forward on behalf of the nation now not only must this gallant hero be held in the highest level of reverence but he must also be protected from any attack on him would be an attack on the american way of life from everything we know and we dont know much this is a experienced person who saw things that bothered him thats what the whole whistle blower statue is for and it is to protect their identity and i understand hes going to testify and well let the process unfold and do you remember how Hillary Clinton apparently wanted to kill julian assad with a drone well lets not get lost in details but lets go over some recent whistleblowers in u. S. History. I never tortured anybody. But im heading to prison while the tortures of the lawyers and people who were and the people who deceived and the man who destroyed the proof of the tapes will never face justice ive never gained anything through what ive said publicly that ive lost everything. We had special ops forces the dead man can leak stuff this guy is a traitor a treasonous illegally shoot the son of a. Mr snowden was a patriot he has a law breaker he violated american law he violated his duties that he assumed when he took the job that he had lets look at snowden here you know some might try to shift say that oh hes a great human rights crusader he is not at all like the great human rights crusaders in the past might argue that this case is different because this whistleblower didnt run to the press but simply followed standard procedure but the record seems to show that a lot of cases have whistleblowers who do follow this procedure so why jail time for some of them it turns out the law does not actually protect them from retaliation they can be fired or prosecuted so are all future whistleblowers doomed well not quite secure backers carefully protecting whistleblowers who see wrongdoing of any kind in our government is essential so if youre a whistleblower in america take a step back look over what you have been ask yourself get this information benefit anyone powerful in america if not your official complaint will probably be ignored and if you dont shut up after that the consequences could be severe the current case is very different from others. The others were blowing the whistle on the system so these were real real abuses what crimes and abuses of our 4th amendment no this new whistleblower we need to put in quotes what was he reporting of course there are double standards there are standards for those who want to put pursue their political aims using this particular whistleblower in quotes and there are other rules for people who really oppose the system and its abuses. One of the people just mentioned in calebs report is Edward Snowden he has reacted on twitter highlighting the case of former n. S. A. Analyst daniel hale whos being prosecuted for lifting the lid on u. S. Drone warfare programs. Meanwhile wiki leaks founder Julian Assange still awaits his fate in the u. K. Jail an extradition hearing has been set for february next year to decide whether he will be sent to the u. S. To face espionage charges songs was arrested in london earlier this year after spending 7 years inside the Ecuadorian Embassy he spoke to his father about his concerns and hopes for his son. He lost 15 kilos weight and. Has some anxiety some strongly every day he can look where theres no windows actually. He could look at his watch and think when this is going to mean. He was too social visits to. The if you could get. No exit 2223. And hes. So so cheap and no access to Computers Limited access to books and know exists at the gym so you can see that. Its crew. Well its been in the case of you cables constant distortion of procedure delays hopes to cations screaming in the case of international of course the United Kingdom has. Been turned its no will ignore the conventions that it signed on to for saw at least a. 175 years joe is a death sentence also the progressive. Procedure will prosecution julian over the years and knees and knees and there are manning to 9 years well what would you call progressive murder. Of julian and ritchie leaks julian as a journalist and we could leaks as a publisher he brought immeasurable benefits to millions of people that are left us to see how the geo political structure is composed and disposed and the disposition of people there in the who took the bribes whose sordid and treacherous to the notions and who resisted and maintaining their integrity. Just to seek some truth and some justice against obscene cruelty seems well it motivates me and. Looks like it motivates june president has lashed out at the u. S. House Intelligence Committee chief adam schiff calling him a fraud and this follows a media report that schiff may have met with on an unnamed individual who leaked to part of a conversation between trump and of the president of ukraine. There is a report that came out just before you and president minister walked out here that the whistleblower met with the staff member of adam schiff prior i love that question to be filed it shows that schiff is a fraud i think its a scandal that he knew before i go a step further i think he probably helped write it. This is not the only controversy at least from the right involving the u. S. House of Intelligence Committee chief arties really trying to go comments in a unique way. If there was an award for the star inches tator of President Trump certainly this man would make it to the list of nominees no need to remind why all right just watch this for a bit president was essentially trying to coerce a foreign leader to help us president ial campaign there seems to be no floor below which this president can drop serious a level of misconduct about his fundamental betrayal and obviously with that in mind its a piece of cake to guess what this guys most cherished dream is impeachment for the maggot man it may be that we undertake an appeal nonetheless that compels us to travel down the road towards impeachment well if you try and properly imagine yourself and mr schiffs shoes you would probably say oh yeah what hes up to is totally legit because mr trump is on a mission to dig as much dirt as possible on as most dangerous democrat political opponent and for the president all means are good even if its done through a phone conversation with ukraines president who mr trump asked to once again hit the trail of joe biden and so adam schiff was like it is illegal improper a violation of oath a violation of his duty to defend our elections our constitution for the president to merely ask for foreign interference in our election well its time to remind you of a different phone conversation from 27 thing between now not donald trump this time adam schiff and supposedly the speaker of the Ukrainian Parliament the nature of the compromise well there were pictures of naked. Ok so you have recordings of both so check. Where theyre discussing the compromising. On mr trump absolutely on the opening told flynn the. Compromising materials will never leave. Will can so little russian saying so. Well obviously we would. Welcome a chance to get copies of those recordings forgot to mention something really important that was a prank although it seems mr shift was so hungry for the trouble he totally fell for it schiff was pretty serious he wrote all of what we said on the paper remembered all the detail surely when youre looking for something to get trump out of there youre good to cross any lines nothing improper or probe worthy by the way speaking of dealing with the russians in some shape or form as we know anyone who gets themselves involved in that could be compromised or a spider on for the rest of their lives mr schiff once spoke to us r t r t made in russia get it one of those members of congress leading the effort is adam schiff from california he joined me earlier you both thank you should someone put him under a federal probe for that he or his assistants were probably talking to a few russians while the interview was being arranged oh that was long before donald trump showed up in the white house politics should be fine then. Schiff is certainly a very also a trance also accused him of being shifty and shifty i think is a much more apt description of a state he wants to bring down donald trump he tried to do it with the russian gate i mean the ship was really one of the key figures in russia and so now here ias is suddenly you know from russia gate is moved on to ukraine get a chance to lead which i think is reasonably based that the origin of truck russia gate is to be found in ukraine and he was asking since is help in investigating this and in this case ukraine gate is even flimsier the russian gate so i think that will probably do a lot more damage ship. Thursday march 29 years since east and west germany were reunited but for many people the process is still not over evangelise its us reports now from berlin. 29 years ago western east became one of unity after decades of division idea of hope for people on both sides of the wall. The d it was. It was. But it seems that the initial euphoria felt wall the wall was coming down has lost a child over the years just the realisation a how big of a task bringing these 2 sides together would be the grace luck of german unity must not be gilded and placed in the nations trophy cabinet rather it remains unfinished it challenges us to demand something from us german unity is not a state of affairs that is wrapped up and completely just wants but rather a continual process a Constant Mission that affects all germans well that is certainly the case if a recent poll is to go by which shows that many east germans are dissatisfied with democracy 41 percent of those quiz say that they have no more freedom of expression now than what they had before the walking down 58 percent of those say that they dont feel more protected by the state now than what they did during communist times the best germany over be 40 years of separation has developed in a way which was not to expect. Western europe at all has a problem with its identity they went away from the history of from the culture and east germany like most Eastern European countries remained quite conservative in terms of culture of tradition and right now when merkel decided to open the borders how must be creation because the east germans well you do culture and tradition and history much more to the west shamans want to be very modern and very western and very globalists for them such a must meet relation is the other threat to their identity whereas in east germany. When you want to stay in a culturally juvenile room and you see it as a threat to your collective just the growing dissatisfaction in the east was made all too clear in a recent election the region was soaring considerably support behind the right wing none the solace of an alternative for Germany Party in a way unity day is like a Family Reunion everybodys happy to be back together but with all tensions never being far from the surface.
