President ial election in. Welcome to the program. And we start with breaking news this afternoon the European Parliament has just passed the resolution urging sanctions on russia if it should fail to carry out an open investigation into the alleged assassination plot against Alexei Navalny straight to from our boat in studio for the latest people as for staying across this lot of unanimous vote here but clearly heavily in favor of sanctions against russia just tell us what this vote could mean what is the outcome here. Well what we could see essentially is tougher sanctions against russia on russians 532 m e ps voting in favor of this resolution 84 against with 72 abstentions what it could result in a is asset freezes travel bans another sanctions against those that are featured in alecks involving these Anti Corruption videos could also lead to they also want to see an International Probe into what happened to alexina valmy when they talk about an International Probe thats including the United Nations the European Union the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons and others all to be onside with that and it talks about blocking the construction of nord stream to the gas pipeline that takes russian gas or will take russian gas under the baltic sea directly into germany earlier this week we heard from your state bottled the e. U. High representative for Foreign Affairs saying that wasnt within the remit of the institutions to do he said it would be up to the individual Member States that are involved in the project if they were to cancel out call it off block it in any way or just temporarily suspend it however we have heard from the e. U. Commission president saying now is the time for action and 2000 that advocates closer ties with russia. I say that the poisoning of Alexei Navalny with an advanced chemical agent is not a one off we have seen the pattern in georgia and ukraine in syria insults perry and then election meddling around the world and this pattern is not changing and no pipeline will change that where moscow is still saying burl in must share with them the evidence that is behind the claims Alexei Navalny was poisoned kremlin spokesperson dmitri press corps was also talking about nord stream too he says its a purely commercial project and shouldnt be tied to anything political or diplomatic thats ongoing. We strongly disagree with such a statement it seems a deliberate misunderstanding unconscious misunderstanding of what really happens to the patient in berlin it is necessary to stop mentioning north stream to in a political context which is a commercial project that is absolutely in line with the interests of russia and the countries of the European Union particularly germany. There was a similar feeling from russias permanent representative to the European Union he said that the north stream 2 gas pipeline project came about because of the European Union and in particular germanys need for gas a commercial need for that gas that still exists and thats why in his opinion he thought the north stream to pipeline would go ahead as it being planned well alexina valley the man at the center of all of this in his alleged poisoning is said to be recovering in the hospital hes still being treated out here in berlin earlier this week we heard from the hospital saying that he was now able to leave his bed for short periods of time. Peter thanks for that update because were all over there live from. Where the discuss the move by europe lets cross lived and put a journalist for more on this thanks for joining us good to have you on the program this afternoon resolution is passed it is nonbinding but its clear there are pretty strong feelings here about whats happened to miss than of all the on the potential consequences do you expect any serious further steps to be taken against russia. I dont think so there is some restraint that it takes far but its also its on something that was not mentioned just now the fact that the resolution states that germany must give to moscow to russia all the elements it is about the alleged poisoning so it hasnt done it at all yet despite. Requests from moscow germany must do that and the resolution of. In poland indicate that which is a good point somehow as for an old string to this is ridiculous you know nobody says it but you porker see all this is from the end of the german m. E. P. So if its like well start the project while you only have a few kilometers to do to reach germany now that the whole baltic discovered by the a by plan this is crazy of course they will never do what they say and north strain too will be opened probably in time so this is a very populist on part of mrs fonda lame you know she she always speaks about the orphan populace what she says also what she said yesterday in our state of the union about russia meddling in actions she meant the United States while its been proven now that by an inquiring official in the us that it was not the case so she keeps some implying things which are not true and this is not for the good diplomacy by the way so i dont think it would go further and blacklisting a few people regarding this investigation and this seems to be a bit of a catch 22 for russia because europe what russia to investigate openly this alleged poisoning but they havent taken into account that russia still doesnt have the evidence that the german side has apparently found about this poisoning so why do you think theyre not meeting the moms why have these calls for a joint investigation to share the results for all of them death is. I dont know and its exactly what i said the fact that the resolution of the European Parliament indicates that germany must give all the elements to russia they havent done it obviously yet and so everybodys fighting for it. Of course its a catch 22. 00 issue germany was given so that russia can start an inquiry obviously russia urged the e. U. Not to politicize the case but getting giving the prominence of this this political activist given previous cases the scriptural case do you think it was ever feasible for this case not to be politicized. Well it somehow it had to be politicized that the European Parliament level you see the results of the voting im astonished presently that there are more than 80 any peace who voted against it because its in all parties the people say it is a poison and its a nerve agent like not a chalk so you know it points in the direction of of the russian government in a way but many observers believe its not the case that it could be many of the enemies of mr novelli you know top Civil Servants where mr not only showed clearly that they were corrupt they hate him so they could very well have organized sports and thats what some people say in western europe without saying too loudly of course for the moment but thats what people think really of the of the situation has been politicized and also of course nato i dont know if you followed but they have organized. Naval maneuvers in the black sea with ukraine all of course this summer and so you know this is money pilate did politically by nato and by decree paean union thats going there b. T. W. Has said the results of the analysis all of the valley solved poles are all no way they can be shared with but nothing that was mentioned about sharing with russia or no we touched upon that this earlier but how do they expect this investigation to be carried out without russia getting the results of these analyses exactly but of course i just repeat that it is in the resolution that it should be given to moscow so in a moscow should say by the way folks you just passed a resolution that says send it to moscow thank you. Right independent journalist thanks for joining us on the program today good to have you with us. As well. Joe biden sending out mixed messages on the campaign trail the democratic president ial candidate was speaking in florida about his Health Care Plans for veterans and fortunately he got one of the countries they served in wrong with saying iran instead of iraq and its not his 1st gaffe of this kind. U. S. Troops died in a room in afghanistan through parliament Irans Parliament voted to reject all americans and Coalition Forces in the country we try to do not in iraq is not working so now were going to try and i mean around and scuse me driving you crazy i mean you know someone who has. Watched american. Let me tell you something. Well its that conflict in iraq that joe biden has been widely criticized for playing a key role in authorizing back in 2002 at the time he chaired the u. S. Congress Foreign Relations committee and shows all 18 a pro war witnesses in the Main Congress hearings on iraq it later turned out that iraqi leader Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction or ties to al qaida or conservative estimate more than 400000 u. S. Soldiers and the same number of contractors lost their lives in the invasion. Or former u. S. Marine corps diligence officer scott ritter told the program he briefed joe biden on the absence of iraqi weapons of mass destruction but was ridiculed. What is a big deal is joe bidens vote for the iraq war and i take it personally because i briefed joe biden in person you know he insulted me when i testified for the United States senate in those september 1988 about iraq and weapons of mass destruction he he belittled me as scouting boy he said people above my pay grade were making this citizens and cetera and then he met with me and apologized and said he you know you know a lot we should talk about this in 2002 in the lead up to the vote on the war he as you mentioned he hosted a hearing and i did my darndest to become a witness for that hearing he ignored me. And it was very rude the way he did so and as you said he brought in more witnesses he stacked the deck it was a Kangaroo Court because joe biden wanted to go to war he always wanted to go to war anybodyd for that war thats what American Veterans are going to hold him to account for the military is not a litmus test for american patriotism. But you cant run around and pretend that you are mr raw raw google military when you are you know theres not a single non political combat veteran who is going to give joe biden a pass on this one joe biden has 0 credibility when it comes to talking about the military talking about war above all talking about sacrifice he literally has no credibility it doesnt resonate. With us politicians are angry after it was revealed an American Company provided the Technology Used to shut down the internet there in the disputed president ial election but i was. So mad i thought its contract with a better option government citing Human Rights Violations little quarter of the story. An American Tech Company called san divine just joined the wests fingerpointing against the ballarat government according to an article from bloomberg its decided to end its dealings with manske over a legit human rights. Buz says this is a human rights violation and it has triggered the automatic terminations of our end user license agreement said mine takes human rights abuses very seriously we also oppose the use of technology to suppress the free flow of information resulting in Human Rights Violations during last months president ial election belaruss internet went down nationwide of course western politicians and the media were quick to blame minsk for the blackout. The powers that be in minsk deprive the public of their right to seek and receive information again breaking their obligations under International Law as well as contravening their commitments this can have a direct impact on the wellbeing of the citizens who are unable to learn the true state of what is taking place in the country on the other hand minsk says a cyber attack caused the shutdown but what does san vine have to do with all this while despite conflicting reports of what exactly caused the shutdown there is no doubt the company was doing business with the belorussian government it specializes in internet censoring technology typically used to fight internet crimes but bloomberg revelation claims mensa used that same tech to block its internet traffic now the companys crying human rights abuses even though not too long ago a leaked conversation suggested its management didnt care much for playing politics we dont want to play world police we believe that each sovereign country should be allowed to set their own policy and what is allowed and what is not allowed in that country still the possibility that men skews american tech to advance its political agenda was enough to make us politicians cry foul over the involvement of one of their own firms it would be deeply troubling if American Technology is being used by the last decade of europe to blow by the russians from using the internet justice thousands peacefully protest a stolen election in brutal political wrists reports that technology from a us company is being used by the lucas shango regime to censor and restrict citizens access to the internet in belarus is troubling lets not forget the us has been slapping sanctions on bellerose since 2006 meaning in many cases American Companies arent really supposed to be selling to the belorussian government but that wasnt enough to stop san vine from trying to make a bit of money or a number of other companies for that matter so why are these firms concerned about human rights all of the sudden. Some global news in brief now starting in spain where Police Unions are rallying against what they say is madrids inaction over officers taking their own lives approaches theyre also condemning the spanish Prime Minister for offering his condolences to the family of a terrorist who recently committed suicide in prison. In the u. S. State of oregon 800000 acres of land have been destroyed by wildfires Mass Evacuations there ive seen tens of thousands of people fully the smoke and ash 8 people have reportedly died dozens more missing wildfires have ravaged several western u. S. States this year causing record damage. Asylum seekers in moria have set up tents near supermarkets throughout the island of lets pause the greek or thawed you struggle to relocate them to a temporary camp the previous one was burned down in a suspected Arson Attack Police arrested for afghan migrants on suspicion of involvement in the incident. The ignorance about the holocaust among Young Americans are concerned after a survey found that most of them didnt know how many jewish lives it claimed for the full story after the break. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is on offer and spearing Dramatic Development only personally im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. Welcome back to the program a new survey has found that a significant number of Young Americans dont know very much about the holocaust through a 2nd world war the research was conducted in 50 states it found that among 18 to 39 year olds most dont know how many jews were murdered by the nazis almost half of respondents could not name a single concentration camp but most troubling of all 11 percent blamed the jews themselves for the holocaust over the majority of those surveyed did agree that it was important to learn about the holocaust to ensure that it never again is repeated and the holocaust as you cation should be compulsory in schools we asked young people in new york what they learned about their history classes millions of jews. Couple 1000000000. People died but it was 3000000 i believe it was. 6 people. Pretty big game its weird its kind of like the conspiracy theorists think it didnt happen according to the people behind the slavery the nazis and their collaborators set up or for 40000 concentration camps in ghettos during the 2nd world war in auschwitz alone almost a 1000000 jews were murdered 2 thirds of europes jews were killed in the holocaust all of course the expert mark sherman says the u. S. Education system is failing. The reality is the american americans generally American Youth for young people in particular are ignorant about history and they get too much of their information from social media and that social media is full of holocaust deniers claiming it never happened saying the jews caused it and thats the general problem that exists with social media but generally it starts from the fact they just do not know history they take perfunctory history classes in high school you know the average history teacher is called now called him mr history or history person or so hes called coach because most history teachers in the United States have to coach a team and thats their primary responsibility is to coach basketball soccer whatever it may be and secondary they teach history and thats the reality of a history of the United States its a National Problem because its impossible for people in my opinion to make political choices if they are understand history and what came before that and what one of the causes of events but again its not only the holocaust its of course the American Revolution the cold war make you a bet that if you asked people what the battle of stalingrad was in the United States these came kids about you know more than 5 percent would be able to answer that question in any sort of relative. Sensible way that. The shortage of covert testing kits in the u. K. Has led to teachers to question the safety of were putting schools pupils and staff are among those struggling to get checked our correspondents or early reports it wasnt so long ago that senior british politicians were promising that it was safe for children to finally go back to school i think the crucial thing is that all pupils get back to school its much much better for their health and Mental Wellbeing their. Prospects weve made it clear this is compulsory parents do need to be sending their children back to school all scientific advice is that schools are safe its only. Few weeks into the new terminal already those claims are coming unstuck one Teaching Union is warning that education secretary Gavin Williamson may face legal action because they say schools were opened without proper safeguards being put in place teachers a sounding the alarm but a chronic lack of Testing Facilities means that you cant get in england may grind to a halt the staff and pupils are forced to stay home School Managements have been doing everything they jan but the government has failed to do their side of things testing is impossible to go social distancing isnt possible in full class sizes i mean infection rates are going up so we have an absolutely chaotic situation where understandably and correctly pupils and staff are being sent home when they have potential sitting timbs but nobody knows if its just a cold or coverage and its a completely lost story and of course the danger is that there will be some situations where in fact we did have an infectious child in the sco but nobody knows because we cant get a test to check one way or the other facing the lack of testing more than 200 school and College Leaders said staff and pupils couldnt book tests locally and were being directed to test centers long distances away and with the government mandating no more than 6 people to meet at a time that encouraging students to get back into the classroom your thirtys the knowledge that the whole situation is in quite some chaos every school has a small supply of home test kits for those teachers that conduct Testing Center teacher who tested positive have to wait a week for her results i dont deny that it is an enormous challenge with children and teachers unable to get access to tests and essentially being told to get to the back of the queue if they want one union need to say that the government has failed to prepare despite having had months to do so and fit the country could go back into defacto lockdown once more children are being sent home who cant. Get tests and parents are being forced to take 2 weeks off to look after them we will end up with an effective lockdown there is an escalating sense that they were end up with a return to lockdown by default its not just with regard to the testing the schools are finding themselves short they also appear to lack the basic hygiene the city nearly a 3rd of teachers didnt know if theyd have adequate supplies of soap and water while just 18 percent had had from the tides in every classroom its left parents to question how are they supposed to feel that their children will be safe in school when teachers themselves dont seem all that convinced misuse of keep schools open and clear but they have to be so violent and what will the 5 years since be that is that you know. And its as we know its tracy versus i think you stance would not remind them that they have a duty we need they need. And obviously weve been seeing these which. The Police Prefect of paris is accused of breaking the law after allegedly ordering the preventive arrest of suspected yellow best actress thats according to Research Released documents detailing instructions for checking people arriving in french capital officers were power it told to arrest individuals who matched a thong profile and to confiscate any objects that could potentially be used as weapons they were also ordered to carry out identity checks and vehicle searches the orders were apart in 1st issued back in 2019 by the previous prefect but have since been renewed under french law though preventative detention is illegal human Rights Groups are outraged by the revelations. This is very serious we have documented the fact that thousands of people have been arrested and sometimes prosecuted without having committed any violent act which obstruct their right to peaceful protest. Well the revelation comes as yellow vest protests in france were turned off the covert lockdown the movement initially but got in late 28. 00 in protest over fuel price hikes on high living costs many of the rallies have resulted in violence thousands of demonstrators and Police Officers have been injured over a dozen people have lost their lives we spoke to a french lawyer who says that preventative arrests led to innocent people being detained. But im a scientist says the start of the you know Vests Movement protesters have been facing the problem of preventive arrests and body searches what does it mean in general how do you put out a fire all over the flames therefore you preventively take away some people from the demonstration either before the start of the demonstration or right at the moment crowds start form people are being chosen randomly and anyone can be detained without reason by the way some have been detained for just being in the wrong place at the wrong time and later turned ad they had nothing to do with the movement at all frances arrests and pretrial detention system has been turned on its head Law Enforcement officers because he the principle that a person will do something even without any wrongdoing if youre sitting on a bench a few meters from where a demonstration is a bad start it is suppose you might illegally join the rally and then turn violent those are the headlines this hour watching the hawks is up next exploring how hollywood may look very different in the post black lives matter world and other news as well were back in 30 minutes time with the latest headlines join us again that. Seemed wrong. But all quotes just dont call. To me. Yet to shape out just the opposite and in detroit equals betrayal. When something you find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. Very mechanisms of neural plasticity that enable stretch to get under the skin and to have any negative effect on our mind in our body those same very mechanisms indeed harnessed for the good to promote resilience to promote flourishing. Look at the bill of religious near those who really can show you. Show that they can just be suitably. Flat with that i suppose it over to the us they. Know none of it is to play in a bowl episode. Good to see. You slip during your force wake would be near my stubbornness 3 if not thoughts about spirits i put it was emotional 6 but im intending no. Stadia should. Show still stresses. So to move. The story keep a list of what is. Ringback greetings. Since the murder of george floyd and beyond the taylor cries for Police Reform have rarely been heard this loud in the United States of america and while Small Victories of Law Enforcement reform have taken place on local levels in cities like minneapolis ferguson and seattle on a national and federal level the needle of reform its barely move why because even today many leaders in citizens across the country still question whether we even need to reform the police at all often using that that tired old oh its just a few bad apples routine Like Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell the corporate job themselves to dust off the bad apples excuse recently when discussing how city mayor
