The problem is that the symbol has become an actual cause to say hey we are part of this group you are not. Good morning live from moscow youre watching out international the weekend in our news review the top stories of the last 7 days we brought you kevin i would. Stay around to finish the next 30 minutes as you go through and starting in the u. S. Again with the impeachment inquiry into donald trump rumbles on and now a 2nd to whistle blow is reportedly considering filing a complaint over the president s dealings with ukraine and thats a delegates officially said to have more direct information than the person who 1st raised the alarm meantime democrat spearheading the probe are demanding protections for the informants involved so thats a far cry from attitudes to other whistleblowers in recent years as caleb maupin reports. We are now told that in this dark age of trumping 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 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 ball 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 the 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 i got into 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 from what ive said publicly that i lost everything. We had special ops forces. Leaks that this guy is a traitor a treasonous illegally shoot. Mr snowden was a patriot he is 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 say that oh 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. Calebs report the Edward Snowden reacted on twitter footnote all this saying its unbelievable the media isnt pressing politicians about the case of the ex will supply ex n. S. A. Analyst daniel hale whos being prosecuted for lifting the lid on u. S. Drone war for programs air specially at a time when democrats are making statements about supporting informants will keep you posted. So last week india of the world celebrated the 150th birthday of its spiritual leader in the symbol of the nation Mahatma Gandhi on wednesday Major Political parties pay tribute to gandy behave in order to fishel to undertake pilgrimages walking up to 15 kilometers a day in their constituencies and sleeping in villages these legacy is recognised globally at his birthday the 2nd of october is celebrated worldwide as International Day of nonviolence indian Prime Minister modi sang his praises at the un indeed. Gandhi the Mahatma Gandhi was an indian but he did not solely belong to india he stay far away from the government today in the hearts of billions of people is influenced the lives of people who never met you from Martin Luther king jr to nelson mandela. Back then spearheading the Indian Independence movement to have a gandhis often referred to as the father of the nation from his life he promoted the ideology of nonviolent resistance and tolerance towards other religions india finally shook off British Colonial rule in 1047. 00 but a year later he was assassinated by hindu nationalists but to this day not everyone seems to be an armored to the peace and tolerance of the icon gandhis poster in one northeastern city was defaced with graffiti saying the traitor of the nation are also claims to the urn with some of his ashes inside was stolen the editor of news magazine india today blames the act on the descendants of the same hindu extremists who killed. Do remember that. And some of his associates shot. Gandhi my gandhi in the you are 1948 the members of this not poor dumb got sick rule who also claimed to be induced they have a very narrow notion of the wisdom they want to impose some very sort of. Hindu ism do you believe that. My heart mundanity gandhi was responsible for the partition of india they think that he was appeasing the muslim the Muslim League which demanded the creation of pakistan i think such groups have been totally marginalized and because they are marginalized therefore they carry on extremist activities so i dont see this group of this kind of activity coming into the mainstream i see them carrying on these kind of activities once in a while in order to stay afloat they make all kinds of extremist arguments sometimes they have even built held responsible for some amount of violence so but i dont think its a very large group but only had this very tolerant and you know very sort of broadened progress a notion of nationalism which i think majority indians understand and thats why such extremist groups can never become the Mainstream Group in the country for this one just let me know we probably life of Mahatma Gandhi later in the day in a fixed length report put together a special for you can watch it online from this. He did make a good night but it didnt go through hoops but it didnt stop doc did late but it seems i again take the late. Night eat love. You fought against the british people to get in eventually but did inflate mileage me tool no you cant do that in my nation. Even. The next door of the could be a film that makes gandhi could be a bad the next god they could be a 12 year old child it could be any of these people but we need to make the study for the goes deal with wife because she. When is the last report you story about a Christian Doctrine the u. K. Who lost his legal fight against his former employer who sat for a fusing to use female pronouns for a transgender woman in an interview with r. T. Dr david micro thinks by why he refused to back down in the dispute. As of a christian i would consider the the dishonest use pronouns in that way and suitable deeply affected my christian walk with god and certainly as a doctor its quite simply unscientific. That i dont know refuse to treat any patient that whatever they are they come from the question who it is with a rope and be forced to do something so something which goes. Only with a desire. To live with it but i desire not to be forced to do something that i cannot do dr david my chris work for Britains NationalHealth Service for 26 years despite that 6 he was subsequently sacked after a conversation with his manager in which he refused hypothetically to refer to quote a 6 foot tall bearded man as madam and while the doctor insists is believed to be discriminated an employment tribunal in the less ruled that his objection was incompatible with Human Dignity. And lack of belief in transgenderism and Conscientious Objection to transgenderism in our judgments are incompatible with Human Dignity and conflict with the fundamental rights of others in so far as those police form part of his wider faith his want of faith also does not satisfy the requirements of being worthy of respect in a Democratic Society now dr macra says this ruling against him sets a dangerous president. I was taken off the shop floor and i was i say interrogated all the judges did i thought. About her believed by my manager are people going to be pulled off the shop floor of the National Health service dont interrogate 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 outcome for precedents it very quickly the 1st one is that youre not allowed not believe the transgender movements maxims the 2nd one is comparable speech the president is the belief that god made us male and female and then for sex and pronouns of mixed its not allowable for theres a core christian beliefs for christianity is not compatible with modern society or Human Dignity these are very Big Questions each one of them is huge is a huge blow to freedom. Knew it now violence sadness and fantasy just never there the office no theyre just some of the things you might expect to see when you visit an art gallery but the u. K. Take Britain Museum is deemed a warning necessary now for a new exhibition of 19th century drawings by William Blake we take a look. Never ever ever we need to see the visions of peoples minds not how wed like the world to be a loser they think they feel offended in this very very easily if the world we live in you know were not interested in going to gallery of everythings. Going to limbo your vision books music. I think youve got to actions of religious and skip that something. I suppose i would have issues if there is a lot of Sexual Violence against women or anything like that that being when in fact i dont think it will. Please. The bad press. Considered by you to be inappropriate you have noticed that facebook consistently rejects one. Peter paul river. To the morning. After the break kid more big stories about you for the last way could this get a massive far the french chemical locals are really worried well tell you why. Live. When lawmakers manufacture consent to public wealth. When the ruling classes protect themselves. In the final merry go round be the one percent. We can all middle of the room. The real news is. You know world of big partisan movies a 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 bath 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. I get a major fire of major worries for locals about what was in the smoke there were no jury in it none the less authorities in the french city of rio are have declared the area safe after a major blaze at a nearby chemical factory late last month. There is no risk regarding asbestos fiber in the air the results of 3 a specialist tests are available. Here we are in the area closest to the place of the disaster and we can see that the white swans have stayed there in their habitat and there is no trace of pollution in the water so we have physical proof that the environment and wildlife are not currently factored by the pollution that occurred or the further away. In an attempt to calm fears the french government even set up an emergency helpline but locals still deeply concern for their health and they dispute claims by authorities that the air is safe to breathe shallow do bensky when that. The Chemical Plant just across the water that was a blaze afic plume of black smoke bellowed into the sky as firefighters battled almost 24 hours against the flames. In the dark good into the im not saying that the smell isnt pleasant im just telling you what the results of the tests namely that the air is not harmful since then there has been growing anger over what some say is a lack of information over what was put into not fire and the impact that could have on peoples health. You can talk to any firemen but when you have any type of contact with the smoke its dangerous it can be lethal because of the camera mounted sight and in this case when the smoke went into the sky we didnt know what was in it we dont know exactly what is in the year and we worry a lot that in the future it might bring cancer or something else. I have 4 kids and they were impacted by the smell and my grades i thought about having tests done but for was with absolutely no information about what we should be looking for so i could take blood samples but what are you going to tell them to look for i know they could be cancer thyroid problems but the problem is that we hear lots of rumors nothing concrete. I think there is a risk for our health and i can feel it because i have a need to throw it and im continuously coffee were worried about the health of our children in the future where they have cancer or something we just dont know around the rule some people are also taking that. Some locals have also experienced. Vomiting whilst others. Complain that the tap water is black and then there is the stench you can smell that the air is foul its a bit like rotting eggs but with a chemical tinge and despite the initial denials that there was no health risk the French Health minister has admitted that its clearly polluted. It is a factory that produces hydrocarbons even if not in large volumes it is never good for the population to come across these kinds of products i cannot say that there is no danger the city is clearly polluted several schools were closed off to the fire and though some have attempted to reopen many teachers are refusing to return to work. Colleagues from schools near lubrizol who have refused to work until they receive information about what was burnt and the risk because they are just a few 100 metres away from the site they did so to protect their health and that of the children who are under their responsibility and thats why there has been a demand that the original school 30 acknowledged their right not to have children attend school under this condition. While Health Concerns are immediate whats perhaps most telling about the danger people here are facing is the fact that food sales from 100 districts around ruin have been banned any produce that may have been exposed to contamination has to be destroyed that even includes milk. Hybrid carrots and work closely with local producers dioxins are measured grams and their profit for us because they become highly concentrated in milk and the toxic city render it unfit for consumption it is vital for us to know. Whether there are any dioxins in those earning materials whats going on who turn us what to do with our produce so i dont know if i advise even reached as far as belgium and the netherlands raising concerns that the impact could be eve. Why preaching flags have also been raised for the health of the police and the 5 ideas who are on during the fire protests like this have no forms to pressure the authorities to outline any risks they make face theyre demanding answers but are afraid that even if they receive and that the danger is as a result of that place may not image for months or even years from now charlotte even ski r. T. Will. Similarly innocent hand gestures landed one theme park employee in hot water at a florida theme park and out to dressed as a character grew from despicable me made an upside down ok symbol when posing with a 6 Year Old Girl who is biracial and has autism while the ok and just has recently been recognized as a hate symbol is the problem americas Antidefamation League says that once innocent enough sign has been hijacked by white supremacists. Even as extremists continue to use symbols that may be years or decades old they regularly create new symbols memes and slogans to express their hateful sentiments we believe Law Enforcement and the public needs to be fully informed about the meaning of these images which can serve as a 1st a warning sign to the presence of haters in the community or school the ok symbols white power meaning was initially part of normal in private but then apparently white supremacist like what they saw and started using it in earnest among them the suspected gunman in the cross Church Mosque shootings in new zealand during a Court Appearance last year a former white house staffer was accused of making the white power sign tuber the offenders pointed though she was unlikely to have done that because shes Mexican American and a descendant of Holocaust Survivors so storm in a teacup or a dangerous appropriation of our every day symbols and gestures this is what i guess thought. I think its pretty ridiculous to label a thing like global k. Or the ok symbol as a symbol of White Supremacy i feel like races do do certain things but i mean at a certain point they do everything or people do mean races have to eat food they have to drink water they have to breathe air so at what point do we label eating food as racist Drinking Water as received in breathing air is received its just really can of started his particular point sounds a label some of these things that have been in his ear things were a very long time with or a soused hateful subversive groups the problem is that the symbol has become an actual code to say hey we are part of this group you are not and you know the main point of it is like. For well its a far its far right movement supporting you know again far right ideologies that are a very well known in this country to be you know florist and but my point is you know is vast again for instance and it was an indian sacred religious symbol 50500 years b. C. And you know. People in germany took it put it on a red flag and now it was a symbol it was an inverted this mass ago and that became the symbol of nazism and ok the ok sign is nat day all right ok so you can find it right now on your phone via. Device i phone you can find it ok so right now when you search for the new moji there is the equivalent to ok ok it is being used ok for very long it wasnt a couple years ago where it was some kind of troll thing happening on the internet there it became so on those because the Mainstream Media picked it up and i think the whole purpose of trolling campaign was to trick the Mainstream Media into doing it and of course now we hear that the a. B. L. Is looking for here is not to label every single thing that we do say or or. Or you know we communicate what they are to specifically doing is trying to inform you know people that there are certain symbols that seem innocuous but that are currently being used to. Actually incite to violence and crime and you know fundamentalist political ideas that put this democracy in jeopardy it is not suitable it is interesting it being if people want to use it for whatever you want to use it for ok but to compare it to not see fleg is absurd ok millions. And verses do ok so i think i was not a hate symbol until it was. An indian use a day early you know a whole can ensure that only snarky. Conversation went on hed committed 27 minutes past 10 in the morning here in moscow would have to do this weekend hope youve had a good one and youll continue to watch as connect programs are up next year not international for me kevin owen of the great day. The world is driven by dreamers shaped by and person. Who dares thinks. We dare to ask. Rob them to follow and that comes out of the cold war you are the sort of one among what i would add im. A finalist for the main t. V. Way to high is not the high i might have. Thought this month when in front of the sensor on. The photo of a muslim in a lot of the. Fancy it is someone that would do the board. What is described in the west as a russian invasion of crimea is a fact the presence of russian soldiers in crimea can you clarify that. They could have to go to billy is typical of a quote but the most of the most go full of the below could him. As long ago as 180 for sevastopol the naval base became the main military port of the russian empire on the black sea. During the 2nd world war the heroic defense of sevastopol lasted almost a year and took hundreds of thousands of lives. Therefore the naval base in crimea has a legacy of historical pride for the Russian Black Sea fleet as well as being of huge strategic importance. Those of us alive back then remember when there were soviet missiles put into cuba how frightened americans were and how angry and how we almost went to a Nuclear Confrontation over having weapons of that kind of destruction placed that close to the United States. Just so if the United States considers cuba to be in its backyard. Then crimea plays at russias doorstep. The consequences of a u. S. Seizure of the face or a nato base which and usually. But almost a sum up a stimulus and ensuring his election. I taught me to. Put you on with that. Was today and you know unless. You know us enough to speak with practical. Opinion its. So slow just enough to use ocean to illicit but it will not
