Fallen into victim blaming. We men they have to be loud and louder because unfortunately people on the site and politicians are the policemen they are only here we are allowed to be allowed by all means put be accurate. Its tuesday the 25th of february the world news from r. T. International 1st the World Health Organization is warning of a potential pandemic as cases of the deadly coronavirus spike across europe and asia iran and south korea have now emerged as infection hotspots. This is a time for all countries communities families and individuals to focus on preparing. We do not believe in a binary black and white world its not that all we must focus. Why do we have everything we can to prepare for the. 100 week by 80000 cases have been confirmed globally and almost 3000 deaths the numbers up again this hour in just a single week south korea has seen a huge increase in infections iran though has the highest number of deaths outside china 15 and they are known to have died although one confirmed report but that figure much higher in europe italy has become the 1st country to be hit with a serious outbreak with more than 200 infected there and 7 deaths of several towns in northern italy have been sealed off neighboring nations have called emergency meetings on preventing the spread of the virus and questioning whether the use of open border policy should be temporarily suspended heres our europe correspondent peter all of the. Tens of thousands of people all looked out in quarantine in northern italy because of the virus with one of the fundamental freedoms the freedom of movement taking a hate. Train services between italy and all stria were temporarily suspended and in from the right wing of politics there is saying that that countrys border with italy should be closed and given the mood i would prefer to do too much and rather than not enough they have to close in the border. This is necessary if the epidemic is out of control in italy each year on for we can harbor a very serious concerns about there are people in france it might have a virus treatment so i regressed to cautionary measure in my letter to the Prime Minister as i mentioned all measures of reinforcing. China italy disfranchise control its borders no it doesnt an effective action plan however involves controlling entry from risky or contaminated areas lets have National Borders once and for all rumania which has a significant proportion of its citizens living and working in italy for that i will stick to we quarantine period for anyone returning from that country romania might be more exposed to corona virus cases on the National Territory these measures are similar to the ones taken by the italian authorities government officials insist that closing the borders remains a measure of last resort not only because of the impact it would have on public morale but also it would be very bad for business a present there are absolutely no grounds for pursuing a suspension of the schengen treaty it would be a draconian measure to take to contain the infection there are no circumstances under which this would not have a devastating impact on our economy and then what we want to do it italy turn it into a quarantine facility. But closing the borders would make no sense as the circulation of the virus is not just limited to administrative borders we asked people what they thought about borders and whether they should remain open. See i maybe thats the only way to stop that i dont. Carry to be contained for sure but im not sure completely closing youre seeing is the right answer if there was a closed borders then were looking at youd think that were starting to look at a pandemic you trust in the government study you know its not necessary to close the borders and her entire crisis everyone is afraid and live in paranoia i think that we need to continue to live as we leave before so many times just sit with the board is quite problematic especially when thinking about trade and i think we should wait for more. It is better to introduce Border Control even within the e. U. If the virus gets in we will have problems i think it was necessary need to take measures in advance but its a real unsurety about what to do about the coronavirus among people on the streets here europe with most hoping that National Governments have come and peter all of us.

Place in Northern Ireland apologized after leaflets linking Alcohol Consumption to rape were wrongly circulated in belfast the incident triggered an angry backlash in the city with many accusing the force of participating in a culture of victim blaming the flyers claim that many sexual abuse cases happened when people are drunk and outlined ways individuals can protect themselves the Police Service says the leaflets have been discontinued and its investigating why they were distributed in the 1st place it also stressed that rape victims are never at fault but that wasnt good enough for many. This left that is a horrible example of victim blaming from those who are meant to protect the victim this is an issue that has come up again and again and we thought that the lesson had been Learned Police need to step away from victim blaming these leaflets reverse that do you the police can you please get some dont be a message and stop attacking. Women leaflets to distribute please how can you prevent a crime you routinely fail to understand with this victim blaming nonsense while we discuss the fallout from a controversial flyer with a former British Police officer peter bergen and a womens rights activist paula dialla. Always the same and the same thing happening again and again we are in 2020 and still with the the blaming the victim of rape but please dont blame enright for anything else what they do do when they have an absolute duty to do is provide people with Crime Prevention and personal safety advice it would be utterly ridiculous if they didnt shouldnt get drunk come on everyone knows that but why you should put that in the if you know in this leaflet why you should connect this to rape but thats the bad thing people need to avoid making themselves vulnerable to all sorts of things by drinking so much that they dont understand where they are and what theyre doing and we see every friday and saturday night in every town center but this is and how sick a is you know so this is a common sense thing for everyone as i said to you dont you shouldnt connect this to rape in your day or to prevent rape you should go in target men who are violent or lets say these loud and clear you keep asking for things that are effectively the moon on the street how can the police go and find a rapist before they been a rapist and persuade them not to be right pissed it simply isnt the know of violence there is a part of violence you knew know that and whether or not you hes alert the police intervene in their efforts or not helped by exaggerated and inaccurate claims by campaigners and im sorry i dont agree with him when he says that its exaggerated i know every time women speak but its never exaggerated its finally our voices are heard you know what we have enough we have enough of this culture of this particular culture so we need to be united if you agree with me that if this is a social emergency and im talking about sexual abuse and Domestic Violence we need to find are always working together isnt helped by one party or exaggerates. Claiming that the other party is a lying there is no grounds for expect for climbing and i my service know of Northern Ireland are lying when i say these were old leaflets but some are through some mistake which will undoubtedly turn into some jury of his ministers you vera. He is why why you what grounds of youve got to sign the Police Service of Northern Ireland the lawyer and thats basically what youre doing its not because somebody every this towns like an excuse im sorry im in what you should be responsible for watch your printer what you put out for how you want to stay over there and also tell us why theyre all the way and exactly which year they were written who wrote them so give us some kind of you know for more information see if its true we men they have to be loud and louder because unfortunately people in the society of politicians are the policeman they only here are if we are allowed to be allowed by all means but be accurate. German police are looking into a 2nd potential terror attack in a week after a vehicle slammed into a carnival parade in a small western town injuring around 52. 00 people including 18 children 29 year old man has been detained but the Authorities Say the motive is still unclear because the suspects are unable to be questioned due to his injuries. And i was the only had our care not costumers on the wall street was taking part in this parade and for whatever reason this car managed to drive into the crowd in the group of people who were in the trajectory of the car but there were many injured saying god there were no doubt people will get. Through the whole thing is unbelievable for the pain is a very strong image to bring you but all of. Us democrats are urging the white house to impose additional sanctions on russia including president said it follows meddling claims ahead of novembers president ial election with moscow accused of helping candidates from both the main parties. A letter from Congressional Democrats was presented sensually calling for more sanctions to be imposed on russia in response to allegations of russia trying to interfere in the 2020 president ial election which will take place in november we urge you to identify and target for sanctions all those determined to be responsible for ongoing elections interference including president putin the government of the Russian Federation any russian actors now as you heard the letter even called for directly sanctioning the russian head of state russian president Vladimir Putin now we know that these new allegations about the upcoming election are can be traced back to Shelby Pearson now Shelby Pearson is a an Intelligence Community figure in the United States who is basically at this point the top Election Security official and she testified before the u. S. House of Representatives Intelligence Committee about allegations that russia is somehow planning to meddle in the 2020 vote for the purpose of making sure that donald trump is reelected did you see that i see these phoneys these that do nothing 3. They said today that wants to be sure that trump gets elected here we go these people are crazy now much of shelby is claim has been disputed and debunked by other figures in the u. S. Intelligence community furthermore in the aftermath of this claim from Shelby Pearson that russia is meddling for the purpose of reelecting trump we now have allegations that russia is meddling for the purpose of electing a u. S. Senator Bernie Sanders from vermont so russia is at this point being accused of taking 2 different sides in the upcoming vote however russia has been very adamant that this is simply not true the russian government officials have been very adamant that they are not trying to interfere in the u. S. Voting process. Russian federation does not interfere in other countrys internal political process whose we appeal to politicians to stop playing the blame game its especially striking Political Forces in washington are exploiting this myth for their opportunistic getting making totally own grounded and fictitious russian linked allegations against each other is becoming a american political tradition now in 2016 there were widespread allegations of a russian meddling russian collusion in the us election process those allegations continued after the election there was a long investigation and much of what had initially been said was debunked the facts simply didnt add up it wasnt true but regardless of everything the United States has been through and all the allegations that have been hurled and debunked in the last 4 years it seems like now as the 2020 vote approaches and in november once again the United States will be going to the polls to determine who will be president it seems that allegations about russia will once again be surfacing and that this will be once again part of the election process in determining who will be the president of the United States for the following 4 years. Here without say on the way a new Amazon Online drama series is branded dangerous over its depiction of the holocaust resulting reports among all stories of the best. Join me every thursday on the alex simon short and ill be speaking to us of the world of politics sports this im show business ill see you then. The point is should we actually be charging for it because this is when we charge for things is because its been a benefit to the person who is buying it and thats the audiology to education about 30 or 40 years ago but the perspective of education was originally that education is a benefit for society in general i wouldnt want to live in a Society Without doctors or engineers all saw it as what happened without economists. Saying it of being a profit benefit ignoring the public means that were ignoring that the skill basis we need for a Sophisticated Society and putting the burden of that skilled biases on the individuals and what weve turned it into is just now the trend institution of Higher Education become a form of a version of a real estate scam that is not the bisons for a functional saudi. Welcome back 80 percent of employees in britains arts and culture sector say they highly conservative values out of fear of being ostracized and even bullied by their own colleagues a new study is revealed a growing environment of selfcensorship when it comes to political views. Our service shines a damn light on the curzon ruling intimidation and intolerance that is act if im on a community that things of itself as liberal open minded and equitable. The freedom of expression survey received some 500. 00 respondents many of whom highlighted the risks of having socalled controversial opinions they included anything from brecks it to conservative views on religion sexuality and gender fewer than half of those questions said they felt their views were respected in their field and some claimed they were even offered money to keep their opinions to themselves others said that it was part of a wider problem in their line of work it wouldnt be advisable to point out that the arts tend to do well under the conservatives are arts culture and indeed education sectors are not dominated by monolithic politically correct class mostly of privileged white middle class people by the way who impose their intolerant views across those sectors anything to do with gender issues especially trans issues who get a lot of flak either for not being on message enough or being off message or 2 on message. Well another traditional bastion of Free Expression is under pressure in the u. K. He think Tank Policy Exchange is warning that universities in the country have lost the trust of the nation over attitudes towards patriotism the report quotes governors and chancellors who fear the sector is seen as out of touch and goes on to say that the Higher Education sector should show that it speaks for and reflects the whole nation and recommends that its leaders should avoid being the voice of critics who actively despise those who have traditional values it also encourages universities to make sure that students feel able to safely express conservative viewpoints a professor at the London School of economics told us that university supposed to be a place to critically examine all ideas. British universities have become what we call very wall that is very sensitive to idea is about racial sexual inequality the whole cultural setup in britain is if you look at television. All that all Television Programs comedy programs that are all about jokes against conservatives or against bricks its a people who supported bricks its a comedy held in electoral programs will come up to programs on the b. B. C. Oh sky really anywhere to be fools and idiots races you know people who do and actually understand the situation in what you do this is very strange i mean today were told that some of that 25 percent of University Students suffer from Mental Health problems would seem to an enormously High Percentage of the they all seem to be very very afraid of each other the of expressing the views youre not supposed to thing and anybody which you know given the university is supposed to be a place where ideas are critically examined you burn to offend people thats partly the purpose of universities. Online giant amazon is under fire from jewish groups over a new series on its. Video streaming platform the shows called hunters which the outfits Memorial Museum describes as dangerously foolish over its depictions of the holocaust in particular its angry over a scene of a human chessboard of nazis killing jewish inmates at a death camp which the museum says is a caricature of people suffering the drama stars al pacino and centers on the vigilante nazi hunters of the 1970 s. Who tracked down hundreds of escaped war criminals who fled to the u. S. You know. People like to be in big. Big stone and they. Come to think of. It the shows creator david wild is the grandson of a holocaust survivor hes defended the chess scene saying that it was deliberately done to counteract the whitewashing of some of the worst atrocities committed by man. Before for allowing ethically dubious items a link to the holocaust to be sold on its website including t. Shirts with a picture of a nazi executing a jewish person and also auschwitz themed Christmas Decorations are both products were removed but other questionable items are Still Available but history central editor and newsweek columnist marc shulman believes amazon has to take more social responsibility. I think that amazons series may have gone a little bit beyond where i would have been comfortable going as an historian we always have to be careful we have to be careful because the line between documentary history and the line between what a movie maker can make up its a difficult line its but a company this big it has to take a social responsibility and i think it has to be careful if youre 1000000 sell is now an amazon now can you can they pull lease all 1000000 sellers yes they could but it requires tremendous effort and they dont do enough of that amazon worries mostly about its profits like any Big Corporation and they have to be responsible for making sure that they dont allow things on their platform that are problematic visa via the holocaust naziism and other areas as well obviously other hateful areas. Ok thats your all to news for now and next were in Northern Ireland where residents recall a particularly chilling chapter during the troubles and of living in deadly fear of the british army.

What politicians do something. They put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president or injury. Or somehow want to be rich. Thats a right to be present as a likeable 43 in the morning cant be good but im interested always in the waters of our. Question. A man that margaret found it impossible to touch the man she witnessed shooting her husband at point blank range was robin jackson. Jackson was a portadown loyalist who became one of the conflicts most prolific killers. He was also an r. U. C. Agent nicknamed the jackal. 5 days before pat campbells murder a man in whose home police had found 64 kilograms of explosives 2 grenades and over 5000 rounds of a sort of ammunition had named jackson as his accomplice. However police failed to arrest jackson meanwhile he is of liberty to murder part campbell. Jackson had been a member of the Ulster Defense regiment then the largest regiment in the british army. He was later involved in the massacre of the Miami Showband in july 975 when 3 band members were killed by members of the clan gang as they attempted to plant a bomb on the musicians boss. Loyalist paramilitaries horace boyle and Wesley Somerville were killed instantly as the bomb exploded prematurely. Well the Ulster Defense regiment was the largest regiment in the british army it was geographically recruit it here and the north of ireland and it only served here in the north of ireland it was essentially a counterinsurgency unit that was set up. But you know the troubles. That itself took over from the discredit the specials which was a special plea shill of those exists that since the 1920 s. And it was clear from the outset that the u. D. R. Was set up to recruit from within the loyalist unionist community. They were almost entirely drawn from within the community. Declassified documents from british sources from the Prime Ministers office from the minister of defense secretary of States Office make it quite shockingly clear that from the perspective of the British Government it was acceptable to recruit so into the regiment who was an octave loyalist paramilitary who was a member of a loyalist paramilitary group. Theres no doubt that the creation of the also defense regiment was influence for the british show me boy the experience in the empire these kinds of locally right regimens what controls and commanded by british offices and as any intrinsic palls in the chain of command bridge me were common through all of the counterinsurgency campaigns there was a real and genuine hype at the instigation of the regiments that it would be truly crossed me to see adam would be nonsectarian in character but it became apparent very quickly that that was not going to be the case and the british army was willing to live with the consequences which was that this would be in many ways a sectarian regiment. Many people from the in this community joined the regiment to get weapons training and to stay the weapons and according to the official documents that we find
