Good morning live from. Moscow its just turned 11 am here this thursday the 7th of november or can do a half hour round up them 1st to us to fail to push through a build a keep the identity whistle blows secret republican senator rand paul blocked the proposal accusing the democrats of spreading selective outrage the amendment was designed to bolster the senates position that whistle blow should be protected from retaliation and the contribution the knowledge to it comes in the heat of the trump impeachment inquiry that was sparked by anonymous testimony from an insider. Reports on the fate of those who dared to speak out in america recently. For the democrats impeachment must now seem tantalizingly close all they need is that final piece of damning evidence to see. The deal and to Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer he has come out arguing for the protection of whistleblowers only rother of one Intelligence Officer whose insider info could make or break the impeachment dream the calls to make public the whistleblowers identity are despicable whistleblowers should be protected period period thats quite the radical departure from his previous comments on those exposing government abuses and each day that snowden is allowed to room 3 is another twist to the merits snowden is a one of the few picked up by the media he chose the path of raising his voice and going clone ball unlike the hundreds of others who chose the path of least resistance you see they quietly lodged official complaints hoping for the system to reform but they were out of luck because as a damning report from an intelligence watchdog shows the cia and n. S. A. Would 189. 00 out of 190 cases of whistleblower complaints by descend you the link but the report was shot down and i wonder if mr schumer praised or even remembers all those whistleblowers who ruled against what the name for example rich barlow bring about now living in a trailer in remote montana with his hunting dogs back in the late eightys bhalo worked for the cia now he found himself in a patriotic dye llama when he uncovered what he said amounted to the u. S. Helping pakistan become a Nuclear Power including by selling Band Technology and though he followed protocol he became the victim of a Smear Campaign disgraced and discredited barely able to scrape together a living i was disgustingly patriotic and i thought. Government is allowing pakistan to develop and spread Nuclear Weapons and i got destroyed for trying to stop it what about former u. S. Marine affronts kayo he thought hed found a way of reducing the number of u. S. Troops dying in iraq as a result of improvised explosive devices all that was needed was a simple swap of patrol vehicles and given that were responsible for over 60 percent of all american losses in the country between 20032008 surely the pentagon would have been interested the response was more of. An automated response hes not obeying our instructions hes hes gone off the reservation as we often say. And weve got to stop him from doing that and just as it took 7 years to restore his reputation it took just a few months to discredit Peter Van Buren raising 24 years of loyal Diplomatic Service from beer and found himself on the wrong side of the table when he shoved light on state department mismanagement im waste in iraq what happens when youre thrown out of the government and blacklisted is that you lose your security clearance and its very difficult to find a grown up job in washington you have to step down a few levels to find a place where they dont care enough about your background to even look into why you washed up there the list of nameless faceless and unrecognized whistleblowers goes on and who to blame them for choosing to do to free fall their complaints because if you follow and manning all snowdens footsteps sure you might end up with your name on a plaque card and become the face of the fight for transparency but you might also find yourself behind bars and while youre sitting in prison think about how your brothers in arms only have a how to one in 190 chance. Of success whistleblowing protection should actually exist in all countries because it helps the country to have people tell the truth about corrupt officials the United States pretends to have allies that protect whistleblowers but they often either dont work or they are deliberately sordid and certainly the government officials do not want anyone ever telling about things they do illegally the governments are basically wanting to control saying whos in control Public Opinion they put John Kiriakou in prison for telling that for instance is that the cia was torturing so they normally absolutely do not want to protect whistleblowers and they actually hate anyone who tells the truth about their illegal activities schumer about him alongside the washington elite needs to clarify his position on whistleblowers if you are a whistleblower you need to accept that harassment prison selfimposed exile weve just been consigned to the forgotten pages of history are all on the cards unless of course you happen to be that rab breed of whistle blower who finds himself in the right place at the right time with just the right experts say. Patients who abuse stuff at a hospital in western england could find themselves without medical help the North Bristol health trust has launched a red card to Racism Company which could seek treatment refused when it is safe to do so. Hard to avoid is the question we are seeing in the wrong moment and we really do need to use it to safeguard our staff and work with colleagues every 60 of us and i got to be able to ensure their safety so a bit more on the campaign it aims to cut out a wide range of abuse that hospital staff could face aside from racism the National Health service will apply as 0 tolerance policy to sexism and offensive language and also of inappropriate behavior malicious allegations and intentional damage to property patients found to be abusive will face a sports like disciplinary system or warning or yellow card will be given to the 1st incident then the 2nd time patients will be given a red card that means treatment will be withdrawn once a patients condition is safe and stable heres some of the reaction we got to the plan then from women bennett of stand up to racism and the National SecretaryDemocrats Party stephen morris. My mother was a nurse for for most of her life for the n. H. S. And nothing was done about the abuse that she see faced and theres no reason why she should have put up with the abuse after nursing people in very serious conditions i think a message to tolerance towards it would lead to a level of self control and h. S. Is there to treat people that should treat people. Without question the issues of sexism racism is a massive can of worms because obviously the hospitals could be in breach of the only quality because obviously a female that he wants to be treated by a female will not be allowed to because it will be deemed a sexist or if you have certain religious views you wont be allowed because it be deemed racist or sexist in some form that youre racist you will have a problem with this because you think its a normal discourse of normal wear behavior some framed in some ridiculous notion that youve got a freedom to insult and abuse people on to lock them up is in serious actually most of these people who find that one step behavior is deemed unacceptable people realize they can no longer behave like that its not true that just clogging up the court system we say people should be prosecuted but you dont want to prosecute it because your actual words was it would only clog up the court system somebody who may have a feel philosophical or religious belief about being treated by women are being treated by a certain person then there are philosophical and religious beliefs have to be also respected and if the n. H. S. Are not going to respect their views then theyre going to fall foul of the courts the n. H. S. Was built on immigrant a migrant labor from all over the world she would get many people yes in and my god oh here we go you have no idea its a bill that is set on the please dont use that because it wasnt built just on that this is ridiculous if somebody says i dont want to be treated like some of these black or asian theres no reason to respect that at all being a race isnt a philosophical view its just plain wrong only those piece. Believe it should be tolerated actually resists any kind of basic principles. Prosecuted youre talking about people under normal circumstances these are not normal circumstances when people go into a in a. In their wanted us so an absolute wide range of circumstances just to say can you come down a bit the can ask you like the situation you want to use a little coward to tell people off i say lets go and prosecuted you didnt want to do that because you said it blocked up the Court Systems are not against prosecute them i think its easier its easier for Health Professionals to give people a warning about their behavior and challenge it without necessarily bringing in the police and the courts i think the people who are a racist need to be challenge to and that has to be done in such a way as they can simply understand that their behaviors are sceptical what you need to do is make sure you get them treated get them out reports and then get prosecuted if need be afterwards very simple if you start. In the hospitals thats going thats going to a people more. News next of france are set to toughen up on immigration numbers the Prime Minister says the country needs to take control of the 1st ever plans for quotas were announced. A closer look. Not core was catapulted into the french presidency on a ticket of not being from the right nor the left it was a poor enabling him to attract votes from across the political spectrum and it was a successful tactic halfway through his mandate and it seems to still not shy about pinching an idea here or there from his political enemies in order to pepper the french governments policies for some theres a feeling that mcewan may be dipping too much into the pool of ideas from the right with a crackdown on immigration high on his agenda takes this kind of. Host everyone if it wants to host people well that seems a bit familiar. Right now where demand a mark time on migration because friendship is sinking and what about showing in the brain the shining an area in the ruins of dublin regulation does not work anymore if we have to suspend. The French Public have been given more and more teasers of policies to come policies that many feel wouldnt look out of place had they been announced by Marine Le Pens National rally the countrys Prime Minister has outlined 20 measures for tighter controls these include making it more difficult for migrants to claim benefits and health care under these new rules let me see you claim asylum would have to wait 3 months after launching the claim before being able to access procedures universal health care france is also looking to introduce for the very 1st time economic quotas setting quotas is a u. Turn from corn during his president ial campaign he had ruled it out so this is a clear attempt to appeal to right wing fotis for whom migration without limit is a huge issue that comes as recent figures showed france had received nearly 123000. 00 asylum requests last year not only a record high but an increase of 22 percent compared to the year before mcallen himself has admitted his party just cant ignore the problem of immigration the bush you have no problem with migrants because they dont see them but the working classes do and they have been seduced by marine le pens and to immigration far right machinable rally may have thrown down the gauntlet in his attempts to privatise away from the National Rally but lappin isnt backing down. Either shes warned may want to act tough his party is somewhat softer than its leader proposals to prevent abuse of the psalm system viral shut down by his own Party Members although mark calls attempts to reach out to right wing voters comes ahead of minister pull elections its clear this is about something bigger much bigger in fact 2 and a half years before the next president ial election in france polls are showing only competition will likely come in the form of le pen the indication is that the race could be a tight one and matt corn in a bid to stay ahead is having to pull out all the punches even if that means possibly alienating many of those who put him in power in the 1st place. R. T. Is 15 past the hour days going good so far thanks choosing r. T. International on the word a un and e. U. Round on israel over moves to deport an american human rights chief he tells our to you directed sets of dangerous president coming up. When i was sure seemed wrong. But ill just. Let me. Get to shape out this day become educated and gain trade because the trail. Went on many find themselves worlds apart we just to look for Common Ground. What politicians do. They put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president. Some want to be. Actually going to be this is what the fuck are you cant be good. Interested in the white house. They should. Give a good morning to exactly 17 minutes past the hour next israels top courts upheld a government decision to de pull the regional head of Human Rights Watch shakira whos a u. S. Citizen can now be removed under a law which prohibits public calls for a boycott of israel but it was a shame was it will set a dangerous president we spoke 1st off with the man at the center of the story. Neither Human Rights Watch nor i as its representatives have called for boycotts we do not call for a consumer boycott we do not call for a boycott of israel proper what we do do as we do throughout the world is call on businesses to respect rights and in the context of the west bank years of research has led us to determine that any company that operates illegal settlements inherently contributes to rights abuses so weve called on companies to uphold the rights and stop those activities but weve never called for a boycott of those Companies Much less israel proper so initial response the European Union spoken out in support of Human Rights Watch calling on israel not to deport child kid the un too said that israel must allow rights to offenders to carry out their work without threats or intimidation is what he called based its decision on a low introduced back in 2017 which can deny entry to any individual company if they call for a boycott of the country over its actions or settlements in the west bank. Says the decision exposes the systematic oppression of rights activists he thinks. This decision is coming in the context of many other measures that have been taken against human rights defenders just the last couple of months last week we saw palestinian staff member of Amnesty International issued a travel ban for unspecified security reasons clearly a punitive measure given amnesty is the work weve seen a campaign of incitement against groups like palestinian groups like that is really groups like that said we saw a raid of the offices of Palestinian Prisoner Rights Group of the media that just in september whats happening here is a systematic pattern but now that the court has rubber stamps and said this hasnt been near if legality under israeli law it really sends a chilling message and threatens to embolden the government to take further steps today it might be deportation denials tomorrow is that criminalizing the same kind this. Beach today its boycotts tomorrow is it calling settlements illegal or the west bank occupied its an incredibly dangerous precedent. American cash to boost roads rail and other infrastructure appears speak getting lost on route the us is planning instead to plough transport funds into asia as it competes with china even though americans by a coma still contending with crumbling roads railways and data airports all despite Donald Trumps election promise to sort it all out as kill him open reports. Chinas one belt one road project of Building Infrastructure around the world is facing a challenger and the United States is not hiding its intent we have no intention of vacating our military or geopolitical position we are here permanently and we will be continuing to invest more here and we will be continuing to have more bilateral trade and im spending much more time in the region but wait a mere year ago donald trump promised to channel money into rebuilding americas decaying infrastructure ive asked republicans and democrats in congress to come together and deliver the biggest and boldest infrastructure playin in the last half century a plan generates an unprecedented 1. 00 trillion dollar investment in american infrastructure well it sounds great but those plans have been show now the American Society of engineers has graded americas infrastructure and they are pretty unimpressed when it comes to bridges c. Plus with more than 200000 around the country that are over half a century old dams d. More than 15500. 00 of them are listed as high hazard Drinking Water d. With 2 trillion gallons of treated water lost every year essentially wasted and energy lines are also pretty weak take a look around new york city the richest city in the country the brooklyn queens expressway is falling apart City Planners say that by 2026 big trucks will no longer be able to use it for gifted children sign about London Bridge falling down its the Brooklyn Bridge thats visibly breaking apart a few years ago 5 people were injured after pieces of granite fell on to the underpass of the iconic Brooklyn Bridge in fact that bridge is said to be structurally deficient 683. 00 bridges in new york city are in disrepair and then theres the subway. System constant delays the escalators keep breaking down in fact only 31. 00 out of 472. 00 subway stations are listed as having all structural components in good repair we should be paying attention to whats going on in this country 1st and foremost before we start spending out to look around new york and tell me if thats what we dont need to do absolutely look at the subway system so 100 something years old and its still like something from the turn of the century we need to invest in our cities our country and make our country a better place to live it was worse when i was a kid. Lot of people say u. S. Infrastructure is just a mass i mean do you buy that yes i would because i drive a lot of drive it depends on where you live to new york for instance the bridge is in bad shape. I guess you should take the initiative to really fix it. Yes Public Opinion seems to feel pretty strongly that we ought to focus on fixing things up here before we go around the world and try to beat china at its own game. R. T. New york. Store in town in south was named and partly funded so from the front line in the battle against racism a local cowslip put forward a motion to change it centuries old name because he says it sounds like a racial slur but seems like everyone in the town agree. If this word is not removed the town council could be classed as a racist white supremacist therefore this issue should be rectified immediately. All who have traveled through the delicious scenery of north devon must needs know the little white town a bit if it. I cant imagine why it would get any. Shocking. Shock every body. Over the top of things and everybody has to. Get stupid. Little what town is it what town because a lot of the properties if i did want nothing to do with rice its unbelievable political correctness.
