Watching our to international bring your line news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. A berlin conference has raised a glimmer of hope for peace and war torn libya World Leaders pledged to respect an arms embargo and blocked military support to all parties in the conflict the German Foreign minister was cautiously optimistic. We have achieved objectives that we set for this conference we now have the key in our hands to solve the conflicts now we have to do is use disk he put it in the laws and open the door. Is the door that last was talking about may have been eased open by meetings handshakes and smiles between leaders who have not always seen eye to eye the 55 article final agreement calls for a lasting cease fire as well as to rekindle the political process attendees stressed again that there can be no military solution to the conflict the document also mentioned the need for security and Economic Reforms on the ground there and secretary general attending the talks warned nothing would work without a functioning troops. First we need to have a ceasefire you cannot monitor something that doesnt exist so we need to have a ceasefire we have a truce and one simple question is that all the produce he plans to do commit to. Support the cease fire and committed to pressure the parties to the conflict he cease fire to be reached the 2 major warring factions the head of the u. N. Backed government and military strongmen Khalifa Haftar were both present there was no direct contact between them and all communication was carried out through proxies and indirect conversations and that didnt escape the attention of russias top diplomat. So 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 an reachable the differences of approach the 2 great still suggestions the final document contains contribute to creating appropriate conditions for both sides to sit and talk while some politician seemed optimistic about the summit experts told us its too early to guarantee a lasting peace in libya at least for now. Brutal dangerous 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 but getting the various cohorts to hold us is not has not been easy so far and there is the danger that each side will be looking to maneuver for Getting International credibility in code or spy saying were trying to keep the ceasefire but the others are breaking it at the end of the day were looking at a cease fire and 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 it can be very difficult a long long way ahead we are in the early stages of potentially what potentially help them for libya. A landmark test case for euthanasia rules is unfolding in belgium or for the 1st time since the practice was legalized 3 doctors Face Criminal Charges prosecutors allege they illegally and the life of a 38 year old woman own family says theyve been broken by her death are just asking taylor looks into the issue. On Christmas Eve in 2937 year old teen nased told her family she wanted to be euthanized but wild teen suffering might have ended several months later of in a clinic in the flemish city of god and that of her family is still ongoing because the 3 doctors who were involved are now on trial for her murder this will be belgiums fust criminal case concerning heath in asia since the practice was legalized back in 2002 which accounts for an average of 6 deaths of 3 day the doctors insist they acted in good faith and are unfairly being painted as murderers but the hiring account teen says does give of that fateful day raises questions over the competence and motives of the medical professionals. Who likened her death to that of a pattern that is and p. And is having a shot. When she died he asked all parents if they wanted to listen through the stern scope to check her heart had actually stopped beating. 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 so called must see killing 2 months before her death as is required by law teen went to the psychiatry list dr chan 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 autism 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 fast 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 relations 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 at euthanasia as a as a solution for these patients so perhaps patients seek her out when for the 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 expect Treatment Options available before granting euthanasia an allegation backed by teen sistas. Instead of trying to go team to a better life team was deliberately led to death and pushed without the reasonable Treatment Options being exhausted and consequently without suffering being relieved the question is whose interest was paramount in this process the interest of team or the interest of others euthanasia is legal in just 5 countries and is one of the most controversial practices globally stories like the teams reveal just how difficult it is to ensure that peoples desire for personal freedom isnt tragically misinterpreted and abused we are like are just standing trial in the case for a response she told us that she cannot comment at this time of her doctors deny all the charges. French prosecutors have launched an inquiry after footage of a riot officer beating a protester went viral. Good citizens are still going to show that you. Didnt know that. I took a look at the connectors do you think that we could get together tonight just to finish you guys. Like i already. R t france also filmed the aftermath of the incident at the yellow bus rally in paris on saturday police trying to stop protestors getting closer as the officer was punching the man lying on the ground this is a line of accusations against police at the protest with another case already having 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 erupting between police and demonstrators as you can see here a strike by public transport workers over the reform has brought chaos to paris for almost 2 months now thats despite the governments promise to compromise agreeing to drop some of the most controversial aspects of its plan this political analyst nick what my coverage told us that much of the media ignores the violence by police at these demonstrations. All the different demonstrations that weve had these past years have always been tearing up with violence theres extreme violence in the Mainstream Media we only see the violence of the demonstrators and very rarely the violence of the Police Forces and this is has this has become an 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 this mean policing extreme violence against demonstrators. The u. S. State of virginia has announced a state of emergency and firearms ban the head of the gun rights rally when this event is seen as a credible threat by the State Government as thousands of armed people plan to attend 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 now 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 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 they 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 get into. You know we need a license to drive a car. We need more safety to drive a car then to own a weapon that kills we have people in here that 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 my. You know. Like a right to bear arms. Should be for every citizen of the family in the business but 0. 06 worse they said. Donald trump has weighed in calling the states response a very serious attack and blame the Democratic Party former Virginia State senator Richard Black and legal analyst jennifer de master told us they are skeptical about the reasons given for the ban. I dont think that we should enforce these unconstitutional laws that are being imposed on the people in this country far arms are commanded slave important to americans and so they do become upset i think it is the policy of the Democratic Party to inspire as much conflict as much of racial strife as much hatred towards christians and people who live in rural areas thats not designed to smooth the waters to find Common Ground this is deliberately designed to create a sense of panic and perhaps to create a reaction that can then be used by the media to to portray ordinary citizens as big 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 at. Pro 2nd amendment rallies or the n. R. A. Or some of these process going to manage 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. Still to come there are concerns that victims of Violent Crimes will suffer under a new u. K. Plan we have building perpetrators and set of jailing them that story and more after the break. You know before george zeros became. A Global Market manipulator and election records he wrote a lot of asian books and of course. Jim rogers at the quantum fund which was one of the best performing hedge funds ever kind of invented the modern hedge fund and hes got a lot of things to say if you look at his old work and were going to get into it. Welcome back there are concerns that violent criminals in the u. K. Will be left unpunished under new plans for rehabilitation contracts offenders with Mental Health or social problems could avoid jail if they successfully take part in 4 month rehab programs critics warn the victims of the crimes could suffer an important part of recovering from crime can be taken as human the day are a victim to whom wrong has been done we would expect the feedback of victims involved in the parties to be taken into account before. The deferred prosecution scheme has already been trial in 10 counties across the country and could not be extended nationwide with the research indicating significant success participants must carry out 4 months of rehab to overcome underlying issues such as Mental Health problems or drug addiction and they must not reoffend in that period different counties including different crimes in their scheme for example 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 researchers claim the new scheme is 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 we discussed the issue with political commentator Andrew Walker and human rights activist peter tatchell. The criminal Justice System has 3 main targets terence punishment and rehabilitation and of those 3 of 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 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 well i think its one of those schemes that is very interesting re offending rates but doesnt do a great deal for victims i think there has to be an element of ensuring that people dont we have found the has to be an element of rehabilitation but also there has to be a punishment for the crime looking at it from the victims point of view i think there are serious questions to be arsed and this this kind of scheme deserves consideration its really sending rate is one 3rd of one 3rd less than the standard rate so i think it shows that these alternative methods do have a Better Success raise and those obviously good for the victims and for the Wider Society i think we do get it wrong in the United Kingdom in terms the amount of rehabilitation and their education that we give to people convicted of crimes or accused of crimes thought we dont do enough 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 so fine about education fight about rehabilitation but we have to remember the punishment is important for victims as well. The Un Security Council will convene on monday after russias request to discuss the International Chemical weapons watchdogs report on the alleged chemical attack in syrias duma the work of the o. P. C. Debbi a Fact Finding Mission into the april 2800 incident 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 r. T. Is interest on that explains. The o. 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. 4 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 u. S. And its allies postulated before any investigation even took 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 traces of the deliberate storage would have been documents registry Archives League documents. Also mentioned 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 stay up 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. Because this is really after francine was that there were indications of serious inconsistency is in the findings the conclusion appears to turn completely in the open is it direction in the report. That the report does not reflect the views of the team members but deployed to do only one f. M. Team member of paramedic of the so called if im called team was in duma the f. M. Report written by this core team. Is only evidence of one among chemicals that contain the reactive current such chemicals could improve maging radiance a powerful blower and 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. Thats our global news update for this hour but dont forget you can always head to our web site r. T. Dot com for the details on all of those stories and many more. The world is driven by dreamers shaped by phone personally those. Who dares thinks. We dare to ask. For more money to the kids name compensate all boil to deny him nobody. Even know who can tell them that because. Its not. Going to. Move on the list i didnt get showed up to move this because of almost an instant move going to be a good show which the certainly must.
