He attacks everybody i know donald trump but he hasnt put take in the venom for blacks and people of color he doesnt refer to any of his opponents all critics as fest. Our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world welcome we begin the day with growing suspicions that the new british Prime Minister Boris Johnson is pursuing something he claims hes not a know deal brechts it today johnson created 2 committees to deal with the u. K. s departure from the European Union reportedly under the assumption that the u. K. Will crash out of the e. U. And johnson is demanding that the e. U. After 3 years of breaks in negotiations reopen the talks the e. U. Is refusing so instead of lobbying a u. Leaders in brussels to change their stance johnson is refusing to meet with them until they change their minds all of this as johnson travels around the u. K. Promising more money from everything from police to schools once a bright city is history what he does not mention is the fact that a no deal breaks it is expected to trigger a massive recession meaning the government will have less not more money or here is Boris Johnson from today and this weekend selling the benefits of bricks it followed by opposition labor leader Jeremy Corbett and he sees general elections just around the corner. Leaving the e. U. Is a massive Economic Opportunity to do things weve not been allowed to do for decades to rid also of some bureaucratic red tape to create jobs to untangle the creativity and innovation which britain is famous in just in the last few weeks you see Big Investments coming into us with a new electric media going to be built by b. M. W. The new victory vehicle to be built. 1000000000 pound investment by i. J. N. All in birmingham and we will do the opposite everything we can to address the issues of not just in time supply chains but we are going to go ahead and come on to the. Table that investment jobs trade and equality both in or out of the e. U. I want those things but i go back to the point that it makes no difference if you are in or out doesnt it you cant do that you want to invest and opportunity in around me in what way it was it was actually a very Credible Data base but Customs Union with the e. U. And the trade arrangements would have achieved those things didnt go through parliament thats the point. Joining me now for more from aberdeen in scotland is christiane a law he is a member of the European Parliament for the green group and hes also a member of the Scottish National party mr allardyce good to have you on the program id like to start by taking a look at what happened today when Boris Johnson arrived in scotland to talk up his brights it playing. Her. There was plenty of bullying going on some cheering shortly thereafter we understand scotlands 1st minister nicolas sturgeon said that she thinks Boris Johnson is really pursuing a new deal in bridge city let me ask you mr a large do you think the same. Yes but mr johnson has chosen his cabinet a cabinet of right wing cant which means that automatically east what he wants to do he wants to do a new deal breaks it now i can see how he can do it the real of all parliament against him it really was the nations against him especially scotland and Northern Ireland so its got a lot of things to do to achieve peace particularly on the 31st of all seems to be very very difficult and that is that well if that is the case though then it certainly would contradict what Boris Johnson said during his campaign to become Prime Minister tell me what can scout win do if the Prime Minister is trying to go down that new deal breaks that path thats good script and its got a lot of and peace down at westminster and the lot of friends a lot of people all across the u. K. Who dont want to see an old youd race it thing jumps in the biggest negotiation you has to do issue if all the m. P. s n. Z. Aus of commons because in need to fund an argument we face as if you Keep Parliament before he goes and if anything you want to do today and mr johnson spoke about that 2014 Scottish Independence referendum have a listen to what he said and this was a once in a lifetime once in a generation thing everybody was told that he was on that basis that they cost their votes and i think it would be totally wrong there are no right to break that promise to the people of scotland and the u. K. And and have another reference now johnson is ruling out another independence referendum in scotland tell me mr l. Are what is what does he know that you and nicholas sturgeon apparently do not know. What does he know about scotland in those out sort of do nothing about scotland mr johnson and i think about the problem is mr johnson only sees that west mistake even doesnt see whats happening in london in a way as Northern Ireland scotland he doesnt understand but after 3 years that referred him to place about exiting z e u es Political Party the conservative and you can spot the as not managed to find a compromise weve come in. To compromise to get out of the new so its so weird and unfortunately its or of to him to sort it out carr try to blame scotland and evil part of the united kingdom. For whats going to up to next i want you to take a listen to what labor leader Jeremy Corbyn what he is saying about johnsons policies and where they are headed take a listen i can guarantee this we will do everything to prevent a no to lexington well do everything to challenge this government to move to a time but years ago we said this in the event of the no deal breaks it will come pain to remain. So mr large maybe you can help us understand this so german corbins is saying in the event of a new deal brags that labor will then campaign to remain in the in the e. U. So how do you interpret that i mean once once bragg said no deal breaks it happens youre already out of the e. U. 1st of all im happy that at least at a party and gently call me that i can just fence and thinking about the reasonable way to go about it after a free yes no decision and totally pretense was a conservative that you should see you see all that Yuki Shu Staines e. U. So im very upbeat about this it be can work with him to make sure that its great to happen im very happy but hes changed his mind on the. Let me ask you as a member of the European Parliament boards johnson refuses to meet with the European Union until it changes its stance on renegotiating what is that doing inside the e. U. In terms of unity and cohesion regarding briggs it. Is only repeating what you you told it but there is no way that it would ruin the re going to shit renegotiate the deal which was made and weve been. Made so you know what hes saying saying i dont see you see any any contradiction of it when i think its important and what the e. U. Should tell and asked to sort it out we bottomed you keep on it. When we had we next because. Making and you didnt you if you get ballot is going to reject it and thats the most important in the u. K. Its a parliamentary democracy its not that Prime Minister is going to decide whats going to happen next its part of its a very good point to make there christiane a member of the European Parliament and member of the Scottish National party mr omar we appreciate your time and your insights tonight thank you thank you very much. Well tonight the the most vocal opponent of russian president Vladimir Putin is back in his prison cell despite suspicions that thats where he was poisoned just a few days ago and of all he was hospitalized yesterday after what was 1st described as an allergic reaction his physicians says of all he was poisoned with a chemical agent which is yet to be determined or confirmed earlier today the hospital doctors treating he said that his life is not in danger which is why he was sent back to prison. I dont actually know if on his way back to prison one of russias most prominent opposition figures was rushed to hospital on sunday after taking ill in his detention cell clinic doctors say he had a severe allergic reaction but his personal doctor isnt convinced speaking to the press she said her client was poisoned and warned he could be in danger if he returns to prison. And you will look into the new plan yet and he mischka i didnt get it its unclear whether what he has is contact dermatitis or not but he was in a life threatening condition. And now they are sending him back to the same place where that same toxic chemical substance might be again. And the 2nd exposure to whatever it was could have serious consequences for his health. And a valley was arrested just days before a number of unauthorised public protests sent thousands to the streets of the russian capital he tried to make light of his arrest you know my biggest i had gone out for a jog and to buy my wife flowers for her birthday happy birthday by the entrance there was a small bus of Russian Special forces and they arrested me now i look like an idiot in shorts in the Police Station but thats how it is. He now rejoined some 1400 people who were also detained during last weeks demonstrations which saw some 20000 people protest the exclusion of dozens of opposition candidates from local elections. The European Union criticized the Excessive Force used by police during the protests saying it undermined the right to freedom of assembly. Last weekends mobilisation was just the latest in a wave of popular dissent to grip the russian capital this year and not likely to be the last organizers have already called for fresh demonstrations next weekend and russian authorities have already started to detain key opposition figures. Well im joined tonight by nikita. A member of the Anti Corruption foundation thats an ingenue that was founded by a leg see in the heat is going to have you on the program let me start by asking you have you or your going to zation have you had any contact with mr noble. Well we have the content but this conduct is limited like there is no cell phone in the prison cell so we can talk we have we can get information from him when someone from the foundation isnt the Detention Center so its like its a limited contact and this was the problem we have here is sickness on saturday because its not on saturday. Hes right if you look aimed at him some day and surprisingly just come out that he has a problem and that hes going to be taken to the oil spill and so on so this is the 1st suspicious thing in this whole situation that they did not want the authorities did not want to tell what you know what are you but what do you know about his condition amid do you and youve been told that he was indeed poisoned. Well go and he. Just as you said that hes now sent back to the general sense and well at that moment he feels that this is what he can come. I was given the strong steroids against elegy him so i dont have the face which is i dont know that that was correct which is bigger than usual so and like i more or less fine but. Again as he is just that and as. Many many suspicious poisoning havent we those who criticize a criminal or you be sure. Its not always an immense if you send back self maybe hes going to be contacting this substance so what whatever it is was what are you worried about and nikita i mean if it was poisoning then the poisoning would have occurred in prison where he is and hes been sent back to that same location so are you are you concerned that he could be poisoned again. Well if it was like some accidental aunt it will be something not ever since eric in the prison yet this is the problem even if he was poisoned then well its a strange way of always singing while hes in the prison because its like. Its easy to find or easy to blame on the prison or the guts but like. I remember when the although it was a good lead to mcadams i was poisoned for the 1st time we discuss different looks and he said you know well maybe he ate something. Something wrong and just got some energy but then. Several months later he was poisoned again we thought oh yes he seems that theyre trying to do something thats so even in this situation like looks like its analogy and i didnt say hes like his last words on his last message. But skeptical that its a poison e. But. Its like the background is like thats its going to be like what it is what he says is well beyond the poisoning he is not the only member of your foundation to be arrested weve just received word that evolved saddam of another one of your coworkers that he has been arrested do you think that the police are singling you out. Well. Apart from in addition to all of. The other colleague let your meal off is also i rest it as far as i know come late so and some of the several other people who are like supporting us but not working derek are also on arrests since last week morning. So theyre on the look not only alex. This is the tactic that the authorities are using for for the last year and a half like their arrest key members of our team from time to time likely see so spends i got one for you 0 here in this prison sounds you to the show heiress so heads yeah it disturbs our work the authorities are afraid about artists. They are trying to prevent. Nikita polygenic off within Anticorruption Foundation thats an engineer that was founded by alexina holding and he we appreciate your time tonight thank you. And you know. U. S. President donald trump has gone on another twitter tirade attacking u. S. Congressman Elijah Cummings and the city that cummings represents baltimore trump wrote representative Elijah Cummings has been a brutal bully shouting and screaming at the great men and women of Border Patrol about conditions at the southern border when actually his Baltimore District is far worse and more dangerous his district is considered the worst in the usa as proven last week during a congressional tour the border is clean efficient and well run just very crowded cummings district is a disgusting rat and road infested mess if he spent more time in baltimore maybe he could help clean up this very dangerous and filthy place. And there you have it a u. S. City attacked by the us president well that has prompted a swift and fierce response in a scathing editorial the Baltimore Sun hit back at belmont trump calling him the most dishonest man to ever occupy the oval office the mocker of war heroes the gleeful grabber of womens private parts the serial bank rupture of business is the useful idiot of Vladimir Putin and the guy who insisted there are good people among murderous neo nazis it also hit back stopping just short of actually calling the president a rat stating that it was quote better to have some vermin living in your neighborhood then to be one. Well im joined now on the line by peter jensen he is a writer for the Baltimore Sun he is the writer behind that editorial peter is going to have you on the program i understand you have been perplexed by all of the attention that your editorial is receiving why. Well ive got i admit its not every day a u. S. Newspaper calls its president a rat. Thats not a daily activity around here but i must say i think a lot of people have been critical of this president and have and have said things that are pretty gross and not gotten nearly as much attention what kind of attention has your editorial received as have been overwhelmingly positive or gotten some negative feedback as well well ive certainly gotten negative feedback but i would say that is primarily positive certainly what has passed. Whether its on my email account or by phone or or by the letters weve received so far or by postings on various social media it is it has been mostly positive and the more i hear from people who are from baltimore in maryland particularly the more positive its been you know peter youre not that far from annapolis maryland where. Sometime last year if im not mistaken that a man walked into the local newspaper there and began shooting people in the newsroom do you do you worry about that kind of a violent reprisal when you take this very very firm stance that youve taken and you use language that is similar to dollars from do you worry about the reaction turning violent. Well you know that the shooting took place at the annapolis capitol because that and in fact thats our sister newspaper so i lost friends in that shooting it was a terrible thing the gentleman who is yet to stand trial is. Appears to have had. Certain Mental Health deficiencies that might have strongly contributed to his circumstances he held a grudge for specific reasons that i wont get into now. So im not sure the cases are quite the same however i will also acknowledge that we listen to live in times of heightened passion in the political front and it doesnt you know it doesnt escape the possibility that. You know that that that could be manifest i do not believe its going to take place and in fact that is not a common occurrence even the United States let me ask you the creator of the h. B. O. Series wired. You know reacted to what has been happening with these tweets and also to your editorial he says that trump and im quoting him here would wet himself if he stepped out of his limo in the neighborhoods that he has attacked and if he had to deal with being a racial minority for the 1st time in his life how much do you think racism is motivating these tweets from the president. Well let let me say i i am friends with david simon and david simon used to work for the Baltimore Sun at one time yes a wonderful person he also has a way an inflammatory way with words i im not sure thats a productive sort of conversation to have but i but theres no question that. This president. Uses. Racism as a weapon that in fact his description of baltimore was based on. You know some language about infestation and that he would conjure images of of rats and dirtiness and things like that and it is a comedy doesnt neighborhoods of color and not so much what is critical criticizing neighborhoods where white people live so thats a very common pattern and its it has sort of been part of his. Sort of way hes operated since the cab the 1st campaign so theres no question i think and in fact to even question that i find curious because its just such an evident pattern. Let me just ask you before we run out of time but peter you know youre a man who makes his money with words when you look at the language that the u. S. President throws out into the Public Discourse is as you know starkly different from any weve seen from any u. S. President s at least in the last 100 years what is the impact of the president s language on the way people communicate and talk with each other in the United States. Well it is theres no question its its its certainly supported a coarsening of the culture it would be wrong probably to blame that entirely on this president. Im not sure that we havent seen this in many other countries around the world but i i do believe its very unproductive to have political conversation quite so arch quite so passionate and quite so hatefilled as what we have seen in recent years and it was a wake up in the in the american 7th Congressional District in an area about 750000 people and to have your play your homes described as the worst place to live in the United States is its just not acceptable behavior by the person who you is alike to to govern the country i dont think anyone would find it so peter jensen with the Baltimore Sun joining us tonight to talk about the editorial that you wrote the the wall of attention around the world but we appreciate your time tonight thank you thank you so much. Well the day is almost done the conversation continues online youll find us on twitter and you can follow me a bridge t. V. And dont forget to use the hash tag of the day and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day well see you then everybody.
