A very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at our teach q. In moscow thanks for joining us this hour. Our berlin conference has raised a glimmer of hope for peace and war torn libya World Leaders pledged to respect an arms embargo and block military support all parties in the conflict are peter all over has been following the summit for us. Well the result of these talks here in berlin on libya in the fall and going conflict on the ground there was a documents that has been signed off by those that have taken part in the conference still has to go to the United Nations where it will be seeking their approval it contained in that document are a call for a cease fire also an arms embargo that should be a rekindling of the political process german chancellor Angela Merkel was keen to stress again that there was an far as she was concerned and as far as other leaders were concerned there was no military solution to that conflict in libya that human rights must be respected and that we must also you see security and Economic Reforms on the ground in libya now the german chancellor also said added that there was no direct contact between. And. That would that had been expected realistically has been hoped for heading into these talks they didnt speak directly that was all done through proxy or in direct conversations passing along messages basically between the 2 sides the u. N. Secretary general also speaking at the Closing Press conference of security as he said that what was of most importance at the moment was getting a functioning cease fire in place on the ground 1st we need to have a ceasefire you cannot monitor something that doesnt exist and so we need level ceasefire and we have a. One simple question is that all the produce to do anything to meet gets to support the cease fire and committed to pressure on the parties to the conflict for the fire to be reached the German Foreign minister heiko must was also speaking at the Closing Press conference he was measured in his confidence about what had been achieved here in berlin d. We have achieved. Objectives that we send for this conference we now have the now hands to solve the conflicts now we have to do is use diski put it in the log and open the door from the russian side of the foreign minister spoke to journalists as well he was saying that he was positive awarded been achieved here however he acknowledged that the situation between the 2 warring sides was extremely difficult right now still generally we think the conference was useful its clear that the final decision is up to the libyans its also clear that so far stable dialogue between the warring parties is reachable the differences of approach the 2 great still the suggestions the final document contains contribute to creating appropriate conditions for both sides to sit and talk to ultimately the result of these talks is that theyll be more talks the u. N. Secretary general mr gutierrez will be meeting with representatives of both sides of the conflict in geneva later this week heiko must the German Foreign minister also saying that there would be a meeting in brussels on monday of e. U. Ministers in order to discuss further the situation in libya libya though is really coming front and center for International Attention thats been seen by just who was in attendance here in some real heavy hitters from around the world coming here as the world tries to find a solution that up ongoing crisis which has claimed so many lives. Although some politicians seem optimistic about the summit experts told us its too early to guarantee a lasting peace in libya at least for now. The real danger is that the main virtue of these talks has been that the external actors will be able to make to agree but as weve heard the 2 main rivals couldnt speak face to face let alone agree and secondly there are perhaps 30 different subgroups fighting on the ground so that it may be that there is going to be a ceasefire that holds it could possibly be in the interests of both sides its getting the various cohorts to its not has not been easy so far and there is the danger that each side will be looking to move or for Getting International credibility in code or spy saying were trying to keep the ceasefire but the others are breaking it all at the end of the day were looking at a cease fire thats all we hope for but this is not going to bring about peace its not going to really stop all out war were talking about a cease fire a hold to a cease fire which is not happening today we can have a road map we can have a process for we have. More lines in the forces dissemination let alone some level of governance that the 2 parties can work with so as to be very difficult a long long way ahead we are in the early early stages of potentially what potentially help them for libya. The u. S. State of virginia has announced a state of emergency and firearms ban ahead of a gun rights rally and theres a vent is seen as a credible threat by the State Government as thousands of armed people plan to attend and picks up the story. As the 2020 elections get closer theres a lot more dividing america than just political personalities in virginia the issue of firearms and state regulations who can buy or own one is a big point of contention. The claim that universal background checks supposed to stop criminals from getting access to firearms is focus in reality they only restrict youll feel going to discourage gun ownership and turn otherwise law abiding people into unwitting felons. In states that have these laws most of the geishas have resulted in middle of the night rates where gun owners have been killed or have their guns confiscated so on january 20th gun activists are having a rally demanding their right to bear arms under the Us Constitution and local authorities are cracking down saying that no guns may be present at the rally the prohibition is temporary and it will expire on tuesday after the rally and those who would bring violence into virginia have left and returned to where they came from well local gun activists say this is an absurd restriction after all what is the point of having a gun if you cant have it on your person in order to protect yourself especially at a heated political rally where things might get rough and they blame this restriction on the Democratic Party the governor and leadership of the Democratic Party have declared war on law abiding gun owners and theyre tired of it its basically people saying were fed up weve had enough Governor Northam of virginia says it is absolutely necessary that there be no guns at the rally in order to protect Public Safety hes pointed out that militia groups have made statements about storming the state capital and other things that arent exactly considered to be peaceful rhetoric no one wants another incident like the one we saw in charlottesville in 2017. We will not allow that made him and violence to happen here. Now gun activists say that their rights are being taken away they fear that gun access restrictions in virginia could soon spread to other states virginia is ground 0 for the 2nd amendment right now anti gunners want to take what they did here in virginia and and replicated in other gun friendly states there are some strong arguments on both sides if democrats oppose owning guns arent they essentially going against the Us Constitution and various Supreme Court rulings that have said that owning a gun is a fundamental right for american citizens however isnt it a bit on the reasonable to expect that right wing activists should be allowed to walk around government buildings locked and loaded so sheriffs and virginia or elsewhere in the country have taken states is where theyve openly publicly said they will not force what they view to be unconstitutional wall if you cant have universal background checks what is the use of having them to be given. You know we need a license to drive a car. We need more safety and drive a car than to own a weapon that kills we have people in here there are collectors we have people in here thats just their thats their pastime thats what they do they dont have a criminal background they dont do anything wrong that is just how they choose to spend their money and their time i mean myself i just purchased a gun. You know. Like a right to bear arms should be for every citizen who took the Family Business but since since were state. The u. S. President has given his 2 cents on the issue calling it a very serious attack on the 2nd amendment and pointing the finger of blame at the democrats a former senator of virginia Richard Black and legal analyst jennifer de master also skeptical about the restrictions thats not designed to smooth the waters to a point Common Ground this is deliberately designed to create a sense of paramedic and perhaps to create a reaction that can then be used by the media to to portray ordinary citizens as being bad people its clearly not a security issue its just another attempt by the liberals in america at this point to confiscate the 2nd and protections of american citizens certainly it has nothing to do with safety and in fact if you look at some of the some of the violence that has occurred it has never occurred. Pro 2nd amendment rallies or the n. R. A. Or some of these prosek an amendment groups in america conservative groups theres never been gun violence there by the very people that support the 2nd amendment its only happened at unrelated events and generally typically by people who are not authorized to have a gun and who obtained illegally so none of this is going to help and this is just the further acts of trying to deny their constitutional rights. Violent offenders with Mental Health or social problems in the u. K. Could avoid jail if they successfully take part in a Rehabilitation Program researchers say its not only effective but will also save money based on the people that the West Midlands put into this experiment it seems overwhelmingly the case that you are better off not prosecuting if you can get them into a proper offender management scheme that is a lot cheaper than prosecution and does more good. The deferred prosecution scheme has already been trialled in 10 counties across the country and could now be extended nationwide with research indicating significant success participants must carry out 4 months of rehabilitation to overcome underlying issues such as Mental Health problems or drug addiction and they must not refund in that period however different counties included different crimes in their scheme when they tried it out some only chose theft drug possession and 1st time offenses but others included more serious crimes such as assault Domestic Abuse burglary and criminal damage and there are concerns that the feelings of victims are being ignored an important part of recovering from a crime can be known as the day i have victim to whom room has been done who would expect the feedback of victims involved in deposits to be taken into account before. We just discussed the issue with political commentator under walker and human rights activist peter tatchell. Well of course the criminal Justice System has 3 main targets to terence punishment and rehabilitation of those 3 the most important is of course rehabilitation when an offense has been committed because we dont want that person coming back into the criminal Justice System we want to help enable them to get back as a law abiding citizen but i do disagree with peter when he says that rehabilitation has to be the most important part of criminal justice i think punishment needs to be the most important part and if you have rehabilitation in education within that then fine but i just wouldnt if it was me i just wouldnt want to be in a position where i was a victim of Violent Crime and the person who committed it really got off scot free when it comes to violent offenders the likelihood of really offense goes down by 34 percent and this scheme and the level of Victim Satisfaction increases to 75 percent which is way way way above the normal average so i think clearly it does have some positive benefits its one of those schemes that is very interesting re offending rates but doesnt do a great deal for victims and one of the concerns ive got about this scheme is on some occasions it does not involve admitting guilt and can actually make it quite hard for victims to access things like compensation we dont do enough for victims i think that we need to be always mindful of the fact that if youve been a victim of Something Like burglary it can be considered to be quite a severe violation of your heart how do you know something that you do want to see published there is an allied scheme which has been going for a long time called restore it of justice where with the victims consent and willingness. The victim and the perpetrator meet usually physically but sometimes by video link to discuss the effects that the crime had upon the victim and also in some cases where by the. Perpetrator agrees to pay compensation or do some kind of Community Work related to the offense the victims that in 85 percent of cases they felt satisfied with this alternative system and 78 percent said they would recommend it to other victims of crime i feel for the victims of course not being a victim of violent assault on many occasions because of my human rights work but even so i do want to cure the patient. And rather than kill the patient i think the majority of justice idea is fine as long as theres a 3rd punishment involved as well i dont see why that needs to be either or but i think that a lot of this might be about what they tried to do on the cheap and im extremely concerned that is the real motivation behind this plan. And a significant task case for euthanasia 3 belgian doctors accuser but legally poisoning a 38 year old woman will be questioned on monday as the 1st time that medical staff in the country Face Criminal Charges over the practice and it was legalized in 2002 artists ask a teller has more. On Christmas Eve in 2937 year old teenager told her family she wanted to be euthanized but while teen suffering might have ended several months later of in a clinic in the flemish city of get and that of her family is still ongoing because the 3 doctors who were involved are now on trial for how mud this will be belgiums fust criminal case concerning euthanasia since the practice was legalized back in 2002 which accounts for an average of 6 deaths every day the doctors insist they acted in good faith and are unfairly being painted as murderous but the hiring account teen says does give of that fateful day raises questions over the competence and motives of the medical professionals. Belgium is only one of 2 countries which allows for euthanasia on psychiatric grounds and sees people suffering from depression gender identity issues and an erect resort to this socalled must see killing 2 months before her death as is required by your teen went to the psychiatry list doctor 10 point who diagnosed her with a mild form of autism teens family protests this diagnosis adamant she was simply suffering heartbreak and distress after a failed relationship. She knew that if she wasnt diagnosed with autism or aspergers she would have no chance of being euthanized as such they say the key legal requirement that a patient be incurably ill was not met and so by injecting her with that lethal dose she was poisoned really confused by the diagnosis and in this particular psychiatrists solution of suicide it just doesnt it doesnt fit together for me i think that there is a dangerous especially from a Mental Health perspective when people play god is so to speak when were making decisions now about life and death or when other people are making decisions about when to in their life based on things that can be fixed pretty easily in some cases Mental Illnesses or our system is certainly very treatable one of my child has some mild autistic manifestations and we get through those you know its certainly not a reason to kill someone or to commit suicide but this was far from the only irregularity they noted and when they launched a complaint the doctors allegedly tried to block the investigation with the psychiatry even hitting back at the grieving family we must try to stop these people. It is a seriously dysfunctional one dead traumatized family with very little empathy and respect for others this is not the 1st time psychiatry to diagnose teen has come under scrutiny but in 27000 documents revealed the head of belgiums euthanasia review commission was concerned dr 10 point wasnt fulfilling all necessary legal conditions relation soured so much that he refused to accept any father patients referred by doc to temp arent her colleagues are also worried that shes allegedly approved around a 3rd of all euthanasia cases for psychiatric reasons in the whole country she is not really a great person to go to in terms of her judgment for this kind of medical procedure she has a personal and are for looking and euthanasia as a as a solution for these patients so perhaps patients seek her out when for like this happens it just happens to be too much of this about one particular physician and thats why shes being called into question by 9 other psychiatrist in her own field in belgium that shes doing something wrong so clearly theres some more investigation we need to learn more about this particular psychiatrist and this particular others have said dr 10 point doesnt expel Treatment Options available before granting euthanasia an allegation backed by teen sisters and we see that sometimes euthanasia is granted too quickly too easily without enough checks and balances im convinced that in belgium people have died where there was still Treatment Options and where there was still a chance for years and even decades of quality life euthanasia is legal in just 5 countries and as one of the most controversial practices globally stories like teens reveal just how difficult it is to ensure that peoples desire for personal freedom isnt tragically misinterpreted and abused. We asked the psychiatrist behind these the nature diagnosis in the case for a response she told us that she cannot comment at this time all 3 doctors deny the charges. Prosecutors have launched an inquiry after footage of a riot officer beating a protester went viral. Good thing hes going to show you its not like. It was that incident occurred at a yellow bus rally in paris on saturday the officer can be seen punching the man whos lying on the ground its the latest in the line of accusations against police at the protest at another case already coping claims that rubber bullets were fired at point blank range at the latest march in the french capital people expressed fury at the governments pension reform plans with clashes erupted between police and demonstrators a strike by public transport workers over the reform has brought chaos to paris for almost 2 months now thats the governments promise to compromise agreeing to drop some of the most controversial aspects of its plans political analysts they call nick were. Told us that much of the media ignores the violence by police at the demonstration. All the different demonstrations that weve had these past years have always been tearing up with violence theres extreme violence in the Mainstream Media and we only see the violence of the demonstrators and very rarely the violence of the Police Forces and this is has this has become a very big issue in france where people from the left out from the right just dont understand whats going on weve seen this practically every weekend through the you know best demonstrations this is one of the methods this is one of the main methods police are using today and its quite paradoxical because French Police was known in the past for being one of the police in europe in the world not using violence it was a french method of controlling demonstrations and then you can even when demonstrations were getting out of hand and this clearly shows that this is part of the past and the new with its mean policing extreme violence against demonstrators. The u. N. Security council will convene on monday after russias request to discuss the International Chemical weapons watchdog report on syrias duma in april 2018 the work of the o. P. C. Dubey a Fact Finding Mission into the alleged chemical attack has been called into question after a series of expose is published by wiki leaks. One of the most damning and recent trove of documents was made public in late december as artistic or stand up reports. The u. P. C. W. Is in crisis the bodys image once pristine is now being crippled blow by blow or rather one leak after another and its this video that could bring the eventual reputational disintegration of the watchdog. The o. P. C. W. Had been clear that it investigated the 20 team doomer attack analyzed this video 2 and the conclusion was unequivocal the syrian city was the site of a chemical attack but apparently not according to the expertise of a toxicologist a pharmacologist and they by analytical chemist it was agreed among all present that the key takeaway message from the meeting was that the symptoms observed were inconsistent with exposure to chlorine and no other obvious candidate chemical causing the symptoms could be identified and theres another technical document that puts into jeopardy the official conclusion that the gas canister was dropped from above something the us and its allies postulated before any investigation even to place and analysis suggested that it didnt which could mean only one thing someone deliberately placed this canister onto this bed someone who had unhindered access to the site in a fully rebel controlled area the o. P. C. W. Tried to cover up to expire into this expertise from existence not a wise move in the day and age when everything from nudes to president s conversations leaked online please get this document out of documents registry archives. And please remove all trace if any of that is deliberate storage would have been documents registry Archives League documents also mention dozens of o. P. C. W. Employees questioning the professionalism of the investigation in which chemists apparently had Less Authority than american intelligence agents so much so that even a former director general of the o. P. C. W. Felt like writing a letter to the body he used to steer. All of this barely scrapes the surface of just one leak one trove of documents casting doubt upon the investigation one out of many to hit the o. P. C. W. Over the duma verdict. Consensus really ever francine was that there were indications of serious inconsistency is in the findings the conclusion appears to turn completely in the opas it direction in the report. That the report does not reflect the views of the team members but deployed to do not only one f. M. Team member a power medic of the so called if that they were called team was in duma the official in the pool was employed the school team. Whose only evidence of one among chemicals the container reactive chlorine such chemicals could be grouped maging radio is supposed to move slower in place bleach purposely singling out chlorine gas is one of the possibilities is disingenuous. So for sure the watchdogs bosses have plenty to talk about though some might suspect its not professionalism but rather honing of coverup skills that will top the agenda of this o. P. C. Trouble you meeting. Lastly will bring you some world news and grief protests in lebanon escalated over the weekend as political leaders delayed government demonstrators in the capital trying to reach their Parliament Building were stopped by police of barricades smoke bombs and water cannon sometimes fireworks at the officers who responded with tear gas hundreds were injured. Plus 2 Police Officers have been shot dead in Honolulu Hawaii officers were responding to an assault call when they encountered a man with a firearm and began shooting authorities have closed off the area amid an investigation. And thousands of italians gathered on sunday to voice opposition to the conservative Northern LeagueParty Organizers of the rally the socalled Sardines Movement said 40000 people attended follows somewhat rallies elsewhere in the country.
