Other thanks for joining us this is r. T. International. Canadas Prime Minister just has summoned an emergency meeting of his ministers have to protest the shutdown the rail routes across the country because im a status want to stop a vast proposed gas pipeline for Indigenous Territory but the details has done quarter. Railways out of commission ports a backlog marches on the streets transportation across canada has been shut down by protests over a near 700 kilometer long gas pipeline and judging by the most recent actions there seems to be little hope for a swift resolution i. I. I i. At 1st a number of Indigenous Councils came to an agreement with the Company Coastal gas link to build a 6600000000. 00 gas pipeline that would run through Indigenous Lands but the chiefs of a small 1st nation called the what sue wetton tribe came out against its construction and for that they were raided by the police but the Police Action seems to have backfired the wet Sweat Movement not long after spread like wildfire across the country their blockades of canadas railways have begun to shut down Trans NationalFreight MovementPrime MinisterJustin Trudeau knows hes got a problem on his hands one that he thinks will be solved through dialogue we are a country that recognizes the right to protest but we learn the country of the rule of law and we will ensure that everything is done to resolve this through dialogue and constructive outcomes it doesnt take much for a problem like this to become a crisis though and trudeau probably knows that since he recently cancelled a visit with caribbean leaders to convene an emergency meeting about the protests and. Stead but this is just one page in canadas difficult history dealing with 1st nation reservations the gas company says the pipeline is safe and environmentally friendly but much of the native population and their supporters arent buying it when theyre saying as they have agreements with 20 indian i am council and 5 of the 6 which suit graham councils have signed onto agreements which soon have never signed a treaty with canada. They have an aboriginal title indigenous title to their land and they dont operate under the indian act there are there are already a kerry traditional government system there salmon bearing streams and other pristine for some not that this pipeline would go through that theyre objecting to which is why they proposed an alternative route really it is. An issue about corporate interests trumping indigenous rights in canada i mean coastal gas link the west so again as i understand it had proposed an alternative route for the pipeline the company said no because of the Economic Issues associated with changing the route but i think its going to cost them more money if they continue the conflict and build to the. Floor and journalists to maintain lescott assess abandon the puntland projects is the only way for the government to show respect to indigenous rights. These protests this is actually quite unusual by canadian standards when they begin to have an impact on the economic interests of Large Businesses in this country then thats an escalation of the fight that the Prime Minister is forced to deal with its very hard to see where theres a resolution here because frankly the only resolution that respects truly respects the rights of Indigenous People is to put a stop to that pipeline project this is unseated territory the hereditary chiefs of the whats working people have not consented to this project and that is rightly given the historical abuses that have been horrible abuses that have been visited upon Indigenous Peoples in this country and i think you know were hearing a lot of lip service as we have for many years from the Corporate Community in this country about their commitment to human rights environment but the reality is radically inconsistent with their rhetoric and its time for us to recognize that at the governmental level. Its not just fossil fuel companies that are facing increased scrutiny over their social impact the german court has ordered tesla to stop clearing trees for its 1st the european Vehicle Production site despite the car john promising to quote replant an area 3 times the factory plot led its a victory for protesters who will not supposedly Green Companies or from what they claim to be. I feel to anyone whos considering lawsuits go back inside you know paralyze germany and sometimes truly cation. Youre not allowed to cut trees you know that scale until you have a mission to this forest to industrial factory use and that seems to be whats whats you know whats happened here that these trees welcome Big Companies love to talk about being environmentally friendly because its very good p. R. Because they know thats what ordinary people and their customers like to hear and its instances like this where you can find out whats behind those great its you know when the deeds are quite different that it turns out that oh that company is not really sort of the friendliest perhaps not really interested in these issues. The state is in africa in a bid to win back business from china these companies dominate the continent might propose would speeches they stand in stark contrast to washingtons we sent actions in the region well im open reports. Mike pompei o is on a goodwill tour of the african continent trying to convince nations that they have no better friend than the good old us of a shift in American History that we will be by her side get a Good Relationship with the 2000000000. 00 its with natural gas right. Down to the benefit of american businesses for sure to the sure as well during our meeting i congratulated both the president and the foreign minister on the newly discovered Energy Reserves off the coast american firms like Cosmos Energy hell britain baker years are all helping to develop these resources so that they benefit the senate good senegalese people not foreign actors peo has been the us secretary of state for some time however his interest in africa seems to be quite new but perhaps thats because his trip to africa isnt really about africa its about competing with china its tempting to accept easy money from places like china. But what good is it if it feeds corruption and undermine your rule of law but that ship has sailed china is already very well in bedded in africa its the continents largest trading partner not to mention the fact that beijing has been splashing cash on to development. Furthermore mike pompei it was timing seems to be a little bit off the travel ban has just been expanded to include several african countries so youre not welcome in america but me sure to give u. S. Officials a hearty welcome not the most winning message. The government expresses its dismay at this unfriendly acts which runs counter to the administrations pronounced policy of constructive engagement to address past wrongs with west africa struggling to protect itself from terrorist groups the usa may have sealed its alliance with military aid however that military aid is being scaled back the usa is also reducing other support in the region. Because we have spoken with the us about the need for that presence in the area we hope that the americans will continue to help us in Security Training and intelligence. Also do you remember a certain leader who referred to african countries with some rather profane words well theres still no apology on that there are 54 countries that make up the continent of africa 54 places president from considers to be countries as opposed to describe some immigrants coming from africa as coming from countries tom denies using such derogatory language and democratic senator who sat next to mr trump in the meetings insists that the president repeatedly used the wood to describe the countries now behind all the lights cameras handshakes and photo ops mike pompei oh really wants africans to believe that america is their best friend especially if theyre trying to get close to china but i think. Clearly quite concerned just like the United States are concerned that the chinese have taken a massive lead across the uk and for now i know the chinese have already got hold in africa i think of mistrust the chinese worked with the chinese if you read the chinese and told access these access levels it was not because i because were fearful of the chinese or of the they didnt trust them its because of because believe that they wanted to choose their own destiny and chose a park which was not the United States for war and the u. S. Was the you. Its trying to counter that for the u. S. To want to compete with that right now im afraid theyre 10 years too late. A vulnerable british woman whod been repeatedly sex trafficked by drug gangs was denied support from the British Government until compelled by the high court the shocking revelation comes despite the u. K. Claiming it leads the way in the fight against forced labor details his new do it today. Ok claims to be a world leader when it comes to fighting modern slavery and people trafficking yet if you take the story of this 22 year old woman that seems fall from the case. She was 1st registered as a victim of sex trafficking in 2019 and a professional should have been provided with safe refuge yet the home office failed to find any its shocking really its completely unacceptable that someone so vulnerable and someone so at risk every trafficking was not provided with the support to macc accommodation that they said desperately needed with no support from the government this young woman was drawn into a vicious circle once again it was in june 2019 that i was made a decision not a crime as a potential victim of shocking. When the legal obligation to provide her with adequate support and assistance must agree and the home office was underage to protect her. This is in spite of the fact that she has contacts Mental HealthHealth Problems people who are. Often do it because of because of their experience so irrespective of the fact yes they were under. Support but when the woman was ready to be discharged from the mental facility the home office claimed her mental state meant there was absolutely no west suitable to house her from the time and b. The decision was made that she was a potential victim of trafficking up until january 2020 and the home was well aware that there was at least 3 instances agreed trafficking for the purpose of Sexual Exploitation i made the case. The high court the time our time is being released to homelessness youve been discharged from hospital and the judge ordered that they must require you to come to washington to. Officials have been vague to say the least in their comments on the case i was the difficult reforms of the National Referral mechanism for victims of modern slavery such as the introduction of new single component or thorazine are the launch of a digital referral form and sure victims get the support they need more quickly theres been constant criticism that all the government talk on ending modern day slavery does not match in practice accusations that funding and support for victims are clearly inadequate figures from 29000 confirmed that more than 2000 survivors of modern day slavery were given housing and specialist support but its not enough according to come painters who claim that a lack of safe and specialised accommodation is in fact leaving many of the victims traumatized isolated and vulnerable to retry flicking the deer or tutor r. T. Still to come while some politicians promote conspiracies only deadly Coronavirus Business is a cashing in on the outbreak explain all after this break. They starve unions at these companies to protect workers wages but they got rid of all they dont need workers to keep printing money and say ok well these are the products were now biologists and we dont make products that will make bad products not why was guy killed people but we still get the bailout money every single day because dont give it to our corrupt trolley cars channelers of course weve got. The nobility. The kind of good intentions of a total. Increase and maybe even 40 years ago. Simply evaporated to not see it coming. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy. Let it be an arms race is off and spearing dramatic developments only really going to exist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. The death toll from the corona virus is now exceeded 1800. 00 people including 3 victims outside china the beijing askin done the rise of conspiracy theories over the outbreak some us politicians including senator tom cotton have suggested the virus might have started in a chinese biological weapons lab we also know that just a few miles away from the food market is chinas only bio safety level 4 Super Laboratory researchers human Infectious Diseases you have lied consistently about this virus from the beginning so we should not take their words at face value its very harmful its very dangerous to stir up suspicion rumors and spread them among the people for one thing this will create panic another says that. Racial discrimination as you know for all of this in chinas handling of the corona Virus Outbreaks been widely criticized in western media some outlets have accused of falsifying data and covering up the scale of the crisis meanwhile the World Health Organization has warned unfounded rumors are making it harder to deal with the situation. The 29000 and covert outbreak and response has been accompanied by a massive info demick an overabundance of information some accurate and some not that makes it hard for people to find trustworthy sources and reliable guidance when they need it. I call again to pharma got reaction to the story from human rights lawyer and political scientist back no longer. Dr wong can i just start with you what do you make of these latest claims particularly from the us senator cotton that this virus may have emanated originated from a laboratory in woo hand is he right to suggest this is one possibility i think what piece all occasions and suggestion im making is basically trying to break the outbreak of the koran the virus to Chinese People in china if you look at these claims and these are looking from carefully up to now in the scientific circle we still do not have a 100 percent of the to suggest that these why rose is indeed coming from any wildlife any more number one and number 2 we still dont have and if the evidence to substantiate that the spyros is a leak from. The or viral down i noticed with this story which been following very closely at the start the narrative is very positive towards china look theyve come out theyve taken to tony measures this is what is needed but i am sensing perhaps things are changing now and people are accusing china of covering things up without actually explicitly showing any evidence and also suggesting you know they could have been the ones responsible for this virus i just wonder from your perspective gee think that this is now being politicized quite a lot i do think its being politicized its not only politicized in the sense that theres criticisms of the Chinese Government but the Chinese People themselves which makes absolutely no sense but its part of this yellow scare that is you know frankly has been underneath the surface in the us for a long time but now is really bubbling to the surface because of this crisis i think that the government of the u. S. In the media have some responsibility for their economically. Or in the one chinas economy. Is going to war. For a slowdown in one more tool it brings far more uncertainty to grow bored. He called on me in the coming months and since we do not know when this all prick who eventually disappear and then the eat eat also. Im so turned to you to the group will you call me you know this could really impact. The World Economy could affect the Gross Domestic Product of many countries certainly it will affect chinas but certainly many others that trade with china you know it could even have an impact on the u. S. On the u. S. Stock market and again on the u. S. Gross domestic product well have to see you know how that turns out as hysteria over the corona Virus Outbreak continues some online retailers are hoping to make a quick buck off the crisis so the Edwards Daschle takes a closer look at something samples. As the world runs out of face masks Hand Sanitizer sells like hot cakes and antibacterial wipes fly off the shelves online retailers even amazon are finding other ways to cash in on the deadly coronavirus not by upping the price of those essential oh no but by floating in a time a new line of coronavirus inspired products topping the list of these t. Shirts both retailers have an extensive selection such as i survived corona 2020 and straight out of one hand backoff and also coronavirus made in china i have them all subtle end though both sites also have marks to sell complete with the scientific molecular makeup of the virus presumably so youll know what to account for and know very just complete without a few Miscellaneous Items like a framed poster warning of the infection zone while making the link with the bearer of a similar name a brand which also thought it was necessary to state the obvious that theres no link between the virus and the beverage in response to the sale of t. Shirts breeches disaster in charge of the policy despite the merchandise still being on sale while amazon has so far declined to comment to be fair though Neither Company makes the products but both do take a sizeable cut of the sales and it also begs the question whos buying them but as companies rake in the cash the virus continues to spread it could be they use the money for Charitable Ventures like helping contain it or Funding Research into the outbreak but dont bank on it and a bit on a story ebay says it has now taken some of the coronavirus related items off its marketplace and is educating sellers. Palestinians dismissed an invitation to attend an art of untold on israeli settlements is being colonialist and insulting. So they come to argue by territory 2 in the rear with your Palestinian Development through a network of checkpoints route blocks and closed military zone. And then the terminus you can attend in a closed Military Area this really abilities given approval for up to 15000 people to attend the gathering in disputed parts of the west bank organizers say politics nothing to do with it its an unofficial version of the burning man event in the us which prioritizes quote a radical inclusion among its Guiding Principles meaning anyone can attend but palestinians who want to go to the west bank version will need to get approval from the israeli army or though it seems not many are willing to attend the event at all. As palestinian citizens we are all against this except those who cooperate with your patient i dont agree with or support this this normalise is the occupation and we want these released to leave our land just like i said i will never take part because im not a traitor to my country of course im against it they made this festival to provoke us it will be a dishonor for me to persist a place alongside such people this is an occupied holy land and almost i reject this 1st of all i cannot participate in the jet amazing the occupation and trump socalled deal of the century which for me i will never go and i dont advise anyone to girl. Weve asked event organizers as well as israeli army to comment on why west Bank Palestinians need permission to return and we await their response.
