Hello there good morning just going to 8 oclock here in moscow youre watching international now the u. S. President has intervened in the cases of American Service members convicted or accused of war crimes in afghanistan and iraq donald trump pardoned 2 u. S. Army officers and restored a navy seals rank u. S. Democratic president ial candidates though have attacked his decision. Theres nothing promilitary about overruling our military Justice System to prevent it from delivering accountability for war crimes the president has again dishonored our Armed Services trumps intervention in the American Military Justice System to pardon Service Members accused or convicted of war crimes betrays the rule of law the values that make our country exceptional and the men and women who wear the uniform honorably he is not fit to command our troops well despite the criticism from democrats its not just the republican president who has pardoned atrocities. Expects. Victorious Election Campaign on a platform of nonintervention but dont trump is still chuckling wars against fake news and the democrats and far away against tara so its hardly surprising he has a soft spot for the dogs of war no not this one these ones. I. Vote the. Walking free cut to see of the president s generosity and you know why well when youve got almost a quarter of a 1000000 soldiers aboard boosting morale and giving an incentive to put your life on the line in foreign lands its just what you have to do when our soldiers have to fight for our country i want to give them the confidence to fight for some of their trumps words fail to ring true against a backdrop of human rights reports questioning the morality and lawfulness of american activity abroad for those unconvinced these latest pardons can be added to the already bulging saw a labeled military activity with this use of his powers trump has sent a clear message of disrespectful or morality of the military Justice System and those in the military who are by and by the laws of war i would include the victims of these crimes but have no illusion he can see. For them up to a shameful trump might have been an outsider when he took the reins in 2016 but his policy of whitewashing questionable u. S. Military activity is a favorite white house past time previous administrations were also busy putting up cia crimes and ducking accountability barack obama for example the very president who by the cias tool to techniques went around doing some pardoning of his own giving to soldiers who talked to detainees to death a freepost best not to dwell on the postie said on woods and upwards for those who carried out some of these operations within the 4 corners of. Legal opinions or guidance that had been provided from the white house. I do not think its appropriate for them to be prosecuted as a general deal i think that we should be looking forward and not backwards and apparently it doesnt matter whether you read or blue take george bush he was also pretty relaxed when it came to those secret cia silos and some believe our military and intelligence personnel involved and capturing and questioning terrorists could now be at risk a perp prosecution under the war crimes jack simply for doing their jobs in a thorough and professional way. This is unacceptable. And while these soldiers might have been given a get out of jail free card despite having been tried and convicted by a court condemned by International Watch dogs and housing the blood of civilians on their hands i wonder if 2nd chance cards will be given so easily to those quoting out the crimes Julian Assange is engaged in terrorism he should be treated as an enemy combatant with you it should be closed down probably and decisively but im not for the Death Penalty so if im not for the death i dont want to do it illegally shoot the son of a this is a man of this gone beyond anything i am aware of wiki leaks walks like a Hostile Intelligence Service and talks like a Hostile Intelligence Service u. S. Cyber warfare people should use wiki leaks for target practice it seems for u. S. Officials theres still plenty up for interpretation and that its safer to be trigger happy than dare to expose someone with just the click of your mouse but we spoke to john bardot from the United National Antiwar Coalition about this he thinks it is wrong the u. S. Prosecute those who expose war crimes rather than those who commit the. It shows that tells the world that the United States can be lawless with impunity in countries all over the world the United States has refused to be compared of the International Criminal court because they wanted the International Criminal court to not prosecute american citizens so its a statement that we cant be lawless that a position was held but. It was held by bush it was held by obama and is now held by trump its position it cant be justified under any sense of justice these people who deserve to be in jail these were criminals are kept out however people that expose the crimes such as julian the son churchill saying manning those are the people we go after and prosecute theyre going to kill the messenger but they dont say anything about the message because they didnt say that one word that he said put out through wiki leaks was was untrue its not a very good policy. But stem our car officials have temporarily in pace checks of border crossings into sweden the move was prompted by a spate of bombings and shootings around the capital copenhagen among them was the bombing of the tax agency in august the dange Justice Ministry claims the perpetrators had traveled from sweden and on to success reports now from the border between the 2 countries. Benchmark has drawn a line in the bridge behind me they have put checks to stop and search anyone coming from sweden after copenhagen house seen more than a dozen exported in the sea this year alone the danes blame it on rival gangs mostly from sweden and hoping that these checks will put an end to it the explosion at the tax agency and the double kenan in her leave are examples of the serious crimes that can flow across the border from sweden we will not accept. To counter the threat of serious crimes by the crime we are now strengthen in production of the border with sweden by introducing temporary controls and strengthen police in the area denmark and sweden are both. Members of the or is on bridge used to be a free passport bridge for nearly 60 years but not anymore for at least 6 months it is this bridge that the danish authorities believe perpetrators crossed into denmark causing all the explosions. Because of several. Explosions in the greater cooling area for the last year so it has been decided to stop this Border Control in some cases we are quite certain that the perpetrator us there from sweden and they came to denmark to to commit the crime but as bombings become a worrying trend in the usually safe country here in sweden criminal gangs are on the rise according to official statistics there have been 38. 00 more explosions this year then 2018 but its all movie explosions gun related crimes are fast becoming a concern to during the ninetys the average were 4 per year now nearly 40 and the public puts these incidents down to immigrants but a teligent chief says it is not correct to link newcomers to criminal organizations and sweden they do not. Make a official counts of who is said sweetest and who is actually an immigrant so in sweden they do not know this but we make these counts in denmark and we can see that a lot of those who are that they are 2nd and 3rd generation immigrants have. People who are arrested or from the street in this these attacks in copenhagen are also 2nd and 3rd generation immigrants and of course it would be normal to show that if theres a problem with the 2nd and 1st generation immigrants and that is also why we do this in denmark because we have to know. What the problem is before we can do anything about it from the famously soft approach that once worked well d in sweden the government has gone on 180 degrees by announcing a plan allowing police to have greater stop and search powers but also making it easier for them to search suspects houses and access their devices and all this with the backing of sweetness officials we welcome that denmark is taking action to fight crime in the orissa and region i have respect for the Danish Government strengthening Border Control you know that to keep criminals on a short leash the country of Little Mermaid bicycles and label had its fair share of violence in the past in the ninetys this quiet country saw bombings and shootings by rival biker gangs but no checkpoints were introduced well whether you blame it on the migrant crisis or a lot borders in europe are becoming real again eventual of steps us for r. T. The president of iran has moved to quell mass anger over the 50 percent hike in fuel prices and some rouhani said on sunday that the government will compensate those who are worst affected theres been trouble though in at least a dozen cities with buildings vandalized and pictures of irans Supreme Leader. Well the surprise fuel price rise announcement would come on friday with the government saying that the revenues will fund support for the poor the moves back by irans Supreme Leader who described the rioting as sabotage and called the protesters who can meanwhile washington has voiced its support for the protests a move that iran slammed as hypocritical as i said to the people of iran almost a year and a half ago the United States is with you i will not hire our people will not be taken advantage of by outsiders who put it cannot make pressure on our nation. Irans economy has been in freefall since the us 3 imposed sanctions after pulling out of the International Nuclear deal last year the National Currency is lost around 60 percent of its value on an official markets and inflation hit 42 percent in the year leading up to walked over the side from fuel prices though the crisis has put a huge strain on the Health Care System with shortages of life saving medication political scientists have a f a r c r b believes that u. S. Sanctions have had a devastating impact on ordinary people. We are hearing increasing reports not just from you know reliable iranian sources but also u. N. And other International Organizations about the devastating effects of the u. S. Sanctions on order in the rain ians particularly with respect to import much needed medicine and you know you also have the Overall Economic impact that is contributing to and employment and and so on all of which mr perle conveniently ignores d and claims to be you know in support of the people are shedding crocodile tears for them while imposing these harsh and savage economic sanctions on iran that are in violation of the u. N. Security Council Resolution 2231 as well as the International Agreement that the u. S. Unilaterally walked out of. Universities in australia being asked disclose their overseas financial isnt or survey Research Partners some of the guidelines designed to counter foreign interference are his own quarter explains. Once a place for the Free Exchange of ideas now a battleground for political influence the universities in australia have been ordered to reveal their Research Partners and financial donors to the state all in the name of combating socalled foreign interference weve got to make sure that we continue to because with the foreign interference threat the unprecedented levels it will evolve if we can get a change of culture and campuses that is the best way that we can ensure that we deal with the threat of forward into ference this new federal directive isnt just targeted at any old interference congress convinced chinese influence is growing at an alarming rate how exactly is that putting the nation at risk well a new report says australias universities are too were alliant on Chinese Students for their economic survival its healthy to foreign students the problem is when you have so many foreign students that you depend on them for your financial survival. In terms of the a straight in approach the guidelines dont think so who will specify that this is targeted you can say to any one country but everybody knows. Who else china is the obvious so if youre the primary one the congress has still a need to beijings influence isnt only about economics back in july the attorney general called for an investigation into the beijing funded confucius universities in australia it coincided with a protest that turned violent at the university of queensland between pro hong kong independent students and chinese mainlanders now the government suspects students sympathetic to the hong kong protests are being silenced and while it admits a lack of evidence the states anti china attitude has been left unchanged their view finds that there are a number of specific facts is that could give rise to the perception that the Confucius Institute is or could be facilitating inappropriate for an influence in that department. This review has found no evidence of actual political influence being exerted by the Chinese Government through the Confucius Institute in New South Wales Public Schools no evidence no problem i guess University Staff will still have to follow the rules of this new directive to declare foreign funding but whether or not its a real issue is another discussion especially as reports of racism against Chinese Students have become more and more widespread as of late and as canberra has been stifling scientific cooperation with china by making it more difficult for scientists to get visas coordinated influence from beijing hasnt even been proven to exist and yet the countermeasures against it are already having a very real effect it has the potential of restricting donors and also being the nature of research having direct government interference recruiters already compromised as it is and its not very clear as it stands how these guidelines are going to operate in the workplace so for example the various University Managers making comments that we will try to accommodate these particular concerns to see what happens research when their star schools what the end game is and the end game here is to try to suit many broader very public and International Statement distributed wants to restrict and rein in the venture chinese influence whether actual real. Now the number of people seeking sex reassignment surgery in the iranian capital is on the rise apparently thats according to the reigning Legal Medicine Organization we spoke with surgeon sake about the threat. I carry out gender reassignment surgery on 2 or 3 patients each month patients are fully supported some of their costs are covered by state funds but they need to pay the rest my colleagues are aware of what we do and i havent heard any negative views from patients who come in for other procedures kidney stone removal and so on they view it positively. Transsexuality was made legal in iran in 1987 the Government Office Financial Assistance in in certain gender reassignment cases and according to the state Welfare Organization of around 70 people apply for help every year sex change surgery is only permitted in iran after a rigorous medical assessment process this includes medical tests and psychiatric examinations. This is the patients attend at least 10 therapy sessions with psychologists and psychiatrists they are given full information on the operations possible side effects the pros and cons so when patients are accepted for surgery and come here he is psychologically prepared then they start home and therapy we spoke with rain actor and director a man whos organized a small Theater Group staging performances to promote transgender awareness. You know what it is some good family members of transgendered people and work at sitcom and watch my performance im glad that they come here it changes the issues i think the influence of my theory has been significant we have large audiences and the performance runs up to 24 nights if we can reach just turn out to 3000 people and thats a big step i have the chance to create something positive in the middle east i already have 6 projects going on internationally compared to many countries where centuries ahead but were also behind some countries so we need to improve we have the potential. A quick look at some world news in brief now theres been a fierce standoff at the university of hong kong between 90 beijing protesters and Police Officers try to reject the demonstrators from the campus but were met with petrol bombs they responded with tear gas and made numerous arrests the latest round of protests in chile so demonstrators there fending off Police Forces but later point is offices used water cannon and pepper spray to disperse the protesters the unrest in chile erupted amid nationwide grievances over nash crap transport hikes. I finally signed up for disneys Flagship Streaming Service and were looking forward to a Binge Watching your favorite episodes of the simpsons you could be disappointed because one episode featuring the voice of Michael Jackson has been dropped from the platform. You hire Michael Jackson jackson. From the simpsons. Episode includes a character who thinks hes Michael Jackson and was in reality voiced by the singer though the credits dont mention his name the decision to drop the episode annoyed some including Michael Jacksons nephew. One of finally reports about all the leaving neverland lies exposed well how hypocritical this is for both disney and the simpsons or are you just here to take another dig at my uncool who is no longer here to defend himself ok seriously this this is welcome its taken too far theres no need for this im so tired of this p. C. World we are creating a world of shelters people who will have no clue of whats what what is needed and explain why i decided to drop the episode but folks removed it from a controversial documentary about jacksons misconduct emerged executive producer of the simpsons said they had the right to take that particular chapter of that book and we put the issue of the debate. I dont think it was right at all heres the thing about it what we have recently thing with what i would call cancel culture is identifying a person who has you know been a sexual predator with Sexual Harassment Sexual Assault sexual abuse there are enough sexual predators that are currently available for us to address them to go digging up dead bones thriller well i see it totally differently i dont think its even touching whether or not Michael Jackson was or wasnt i personally love his music i think its simple production decision and commercial decision by a corporate system thats always been a part of entertainment and benefactor so i dont think it necessarily is a comment by the simpsons or the creators of the simpsons on michael or on what occurred or didnt occur this was not just a decision that was made and it has nothing to do with Michael Jackson this was specifically removed why because it contained the voice of Michael Jackson who they decided they wanted to saying shit and just like with countries in International Government you think that one as a way to punish them my colleague here is very determined to make this about the things that un force. And it leeward attached to michaels brand and identity when he was living and frankly shes the one doing that not the creators of the simpsons in fact they might be even said to be acting out of respect for the family and respect for Michael Jacksons estate by choosing to eliminate that episode or his voice net as it were in a capitalist society and all of these things have money attached to them if if Michael Jackson appears on an episode of one of the Longest Running Television Shows in the us if his voice is there his family receives royalties ok so in it so his family has no interest in Michael Jacksons voice ever being muted because if i knew actually benefits them to for the for the rest of us to continue to carry on his legacy and celebrate his greatness i would say that i dont like anomic interest of the company the economic interest of the company is just as valid as the interests of the jacksons Family Holdings and their state the the interest of the company to not get sued every time Michael Jacksons name of fans of you or maybe thats a plague in hollywood right now weve seen all these great shows gotten sued and attacked a bunch 1st 1st subjective feelings of viewers so why dont we go ahead and broaden this and just say nobody has to be trying to hurt anybody to and to protect their bottom line and we publish i see some of the Strong Language from showed in the tweets the news is working so fast that i just want to hear not he will back again. Join me every thursday on the alex simon. Sure and ill be speaking to the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. The tense situation in venezuela is still all over the news the problem in venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented but that socialism has been faithfully implemented for inside venezuela things were different were going to announce sanctions against control venezuela associate. In the school have a son of a moment goes. Down person that put it that it is so on the cutting. Of the moment the focus of the who story isnt new makes him cold in Henry Kissinger to tell him that it would not be tolerated that in latin america an alternative economic and social system could take hold and therefore the policy would be to make. The economy scream so whats now making the economy of venezuela screed. Hello and welcome to crossfire for all things are considered Peter Lavelle spoiler alert this edition of the program is not about the triumphant pietschmann drama instead we focus on ukraine and why our Corporate Media is so misleading about the military coup in bolivia. Across talking some real news im joined by my guest and he is a professor at the Higher School of economics as well as author of the decay of western civilization and resurgence of russia we also have Dimitri Bobbitt shes a political analyst and editor and you know so many internet media project and in london we crossed a market papadopoulos hes the editor of politics for us magazine all right gentlemen cross talk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate im going to go to as usual the markets in london 1st here i hope you didnt waste too much time watching the congressional hearings over the last week it was a total waste of time it was a Kangaroo Court but one thing that kind of struck me is that how and i didnt know this i didnt know that the United States and ukraine were the kind of strategic allies that they were made out to be on National Television so tell me marcus when did this happen because as far as i know ukraine is not in nato the United States and ukraine have no treaty of self defense protecting each other that maybe none of these things exist theyve never been debated but apparently according to these functionaries thats what spoke to adam schiff ukraine is an important strategic ally your thoughts my friend. Well. There is a clue. Hence the little relates within the american establishment to such american democracy and this latest attempts to impeach donald trump really does appear surprised what is going on in america now turned into ukraines peter june Mikhail Gorbachevs tenure in the kremlin he once remarked that there can be no circuit union without ukraine and indeed that accurate statement by who will shortz can can be equally applied to the russian empire namely without the ukraine that could not have been a czarist and part for centuries the ukraine has been of absolute importance to moscow but if in august in communist times and it present day times however 8 ukraine is also of enormous importance to america because not only does washington carve it the same dust through an Agricultural Sector as or ukraine along with its black sea coast lines but american policymakers understand that by depriving the lusher of a close relationship with ukraine this will weaken europe and thereby weaken it was lost in the words in show peter weaver outs ukraine without a close relationship between russia and the ukraine the americans know that russia will never have the car if we want it in soviet times that is why the americans now have a foothold in ukraine and then not prepared to relinquish even if that means who are in hundreds of millions of dollars
