The next 30 minutes with if we can will be his round up thanks for joining 1st in the trump ministration is called on u. S. Lawmakers to permanently reauthorize a National Security Agency Domestic Surveillance Program the request was made in a letter sent to congress on thursday signed by the former National Intelligence director dan coats is appeal also revealed that the controversial Call Detail Records Program had actually been suspended after collecting more information than it was legally allowed to the program falls under a section of the usa freedom act which is set to expire in December Caleb maupin reports. The Trump White House is speaking up about a high profile n. S. A. Program that allows the recording of americans phone calls and personal messages dan coats the outgoing director of National Intelligence is urging congress to reauthorize the law before it expires at the end of the year now dan coats has confirmed that the n. S. A. Has put the program on hold however he says its necessary to have the ability to get the Program Going again if needed as Technology Changes his trade craft and communications habits will continue to evolve and adapt in light of these dynamic environments the administration supports reauthorization of this provision as well a coalition of privacy and Civil Liberties advocates sent a letter of their own to the u. S. House Judiciary Committee and said of renewing the program they called for meaningful surveillance reform the governments implementation of the program further demonstrates both the privacy threats posed by the program and its lack of efficacy it is highly concerning that it took almost 3 years to detect the fact that the n. S. A. Was collecting records even beyond the broad authorization provided under the program the n. S. A. Should not be permitted to resume this program now the freedom act gives the n. S. A. The ability to build a network with the Telecommunications Companies to record the phone calls and personal messages not just of the suspects but of anyone that they are in contact with. Voted to allow it to proceed for the. I will vote against that it is better than the usa patriot act but it doesnt go far enough in my mind in protecting our Civil Liberties we find that were spending resources for no benefit in terms of Public Safety and real cost in terms of freedom and liberty and this is why i voted against the freedom act when they said it would fix the problems inherent in the patriot act just stop spying on innocent americans instead of trying to make it legal. When the freedom act came down it was a way to try to ease americans and say you know were going to make sure we work out the kinks but i think americans know better than that because and thats what dan coats is saying here is that anything the n. S. A. And sometimes the n. S. A. Just gets surveillance information thats just hundreds and pages of nothing and theyve actually come out saying that it doesnt really help resolve or solve any terrorism or investigate terrorism activities so because of this though now they can send that or they can decimate that disseminate that information out to the cia to other players to the f. B. I. And to people who might not have the knowledge of who really is a threat which is going to put a lot of americans at risk certainly of these privacy violations so yes youre allowed to surveil youre allowed to keep your country safe from terrorism from these kinds of acts but at the rate that it infringes on the privacy rights of people who have absolutely no known ties to terrorism thats where it gets a little bit tricky and also this morning u. S. Intelligence agencies were accused of misusing a foreign Intelligence Surveillance jury in the investigation into possible collusion between. Russia and 26 the former f. B. I. Director james comey later said he knew the allegations used as the basis for securing a warrant spawn a former trump advisor to the man of the center of the scandal called the page has been talking to. See. It was just a complete myth these complete lies that were misleading the American Public and just created such you know such problems for. The trumpet in this story and i think its just terrible and the allegations that the f. B. I. Were worried about when they read this amazing dossier by the forward against you what was just so preposterous. That i had these meetings with these senior russians which people i had never met in my entire life i mean is this completely fabricated completely made up ok well we have the moon or inquiry now weve got the horowitz inquiry just how does that differ to the attorney general the now its really general bilbo whos also investigating of the alleged russian conspiracy allegations were created well i think its important work that theyre doing and i just hope that the people that theyre talking to. Actually give the truth now because they were just giving complete lies and basing it on false. Misinformation that was being fed to them and they just pumped it into the system and unfortunately it just needs it was just complete falsehoods. And u. S. Congresswoman who was planning to visit to. The west bank has said she will no longer be making the trip or as she did to leaves announcement comes off to israel granted there a visa only humanitarian grounds overturning an early decision to deny or entry the democratic representative condemned what she called tel avivs undemocratic and oppressive policies. But never mind knowing theyre talking about a 17. Year. Old little girl hes working the story for. Televisa original decision to bar access to representatives to shoot a celeb. Came at Donald Trumps request it was then defended on a count of the support for a boycott against israel it was on president actions of triggered an angry response from many in the u. S. That. Israel doesnt advance its case as a tolerant democracy or and the very new u. S. Ally by barring elected members of congress from a visit in because of their political views i strongly condemn this decision by the Israeli Government which undermines the ability for our 2 allied countries to have the frank open and it times difficult discussions that we must have in order to ensure israel remains secure and democratic nation israel the now of entreaty congressman taylor and omar is beneath the dignity of the great state of israel however its worth noting that critics of israel can also face penalties within the u. S. Itself ever since the anti boycott was passed 2 years ago individuals or companies wanted to do business with u. S. State governments and if they boycott trade with israel it was designed to combat socalled boycott divestment and sanctions efforts targeting israel but critics of the legislation argue that it simply violates the u. S. Constitution which clearly states that political boycotts of fully protected by the 1st amendment we talked to the Green Party Candidate for the new York City Council money helsa who says ripley a double standard at work here. I think it is a double standard but actually whats interesting about this is that the fact that there is sort of this retaliation is tarnished meant for individuals businesses that are joining. The thoughts of violation of. Every american i mean were allowed to point out any or all or all politically issues that i think put some seeds you. Really also elements in. That france hermanson are also. The u. S. Justice department is involved a warrant for the seizure of the iranian oil supertanker grace one that comes a day after authorities in the british territory gibraltar released that detained vessel the war and says the vessel all the oil on board and nearly 1000000. 00 in cash is subject to forfeiture based on violations of International Emergency economic powers act the document also sides Bank Fraud Money Laundering and terrorism related statutes it alleges a scheme to unlawfully access the u. S. Financial system to support illicit shipments to syria from iran by the Islamic Revolutionary guard which has been designated a terrorist organization by washington previously irans top diplomat sharply criticized the u. S. For attempting to block the release of that ship which was 1st seized by British Royal marines of the coast of gibraltar last month. Having failed to accomplish its objectives through its economic terrorism including depriving Cancer Patients of medicine the us attempted to abuse the legal system to steal our property on the high seas this piracy attempt is indicative of trumpet ministrations contempt for the law on the 1st day the u. S. Justice department made a last minute up location to gibraltar than asking it not to release the grace one which was accused of attempting to illegally she bawled as area but the Supreme Court in the british overseas territory gibraltar decided to release that vessel and its 4 crew members nonetheless the tanks expected to set sail very soon to vote as chief minister says the detention was lifted after receiving formal written assurances from iran. The grace one is that for now released from detention under the sanctions act by operational law on the 30th of august i received assurances from the republic of iran that if released the destination of the grace one would not be an entity that is subject to European Union sanctions i welcome that assurance you rarely authorities deny that the grace will be shipping all to syria bridgeview sanctions 2 weeks after vessels of pounded around seized the british flag tanker the strait of Hormuz Violated International Law the us then later announced its intention to created a Naval Coalition to combat socalled upgrading the gresham in the strait middle east analyst cover shabby told us the us my brother played its hand here with. The very skeptical that the u. K. And gibraltar of the shahs will heed the call by the us car meant a continuing pounding day and tank air and you know despite the illegal fire thought it is this safe bet that given the fact that iran is also holding a british tanker this is part of a quid pro quo whereby the release of the iranian tank air will be followed shortly immediate future by the release of the british tank held by iran we know that. Garmin and their boys john saw that as well as those in gibraltar are. You know annoyed by this lingering crisis and they want to wash their hands of it and the u. S. Is trying every trick in the book to linger deuce crisis and to keep you as part of this so called my time. Escort for their oil tankers passage through the strait of hormuz and they use those worries that once this crisis between iran and they use is resolved then they will pull out and yours will be a coalition one. That of germanys federal police has voiced concern over rising levels of right hate speech he warned it could be leading to the formation of new extremist groups and terrorist cells in the country. For several years now with fluctuations we have seen an increase in violent politically motivated crimes coming from the far right we are also seeing a risk of terrorist groups forming German Authorities registered 8600. 00 far right offenses in the 1st half of 2019 thats 900 more than june the same period 2080 despite the volley being 23 arrests you may be surprised to hear some say the numbers dont reflect the true scale of the problem though because of the way the crimes are reported. To have pointed out for instance that the murder of politician walter luka wasnt included in the latest data he was a politician for one clinical c. D. U. Party known for his pro migrant stance he received Death Threats and was killed with a gunshot to the head that is when the beginning of june his killers believed to have a far right views is a quick look at germanys problem with the far right extremism right now. Although the police have said theyre working hard to tackle far right extremism on tills and from the left party doesnt believe enough is being done. And the problem is that the right wing the extreme right wing. For violence they do lists as well for any meat for example busy group called the north korean specialist extreme right wing group and the head of the stuff 25000 people who politics christians who do activism for refugees we are seeing in germany which say that the family. In the right that means they dont really look what the right wing and the real extreme right wing doing and during the last years really didnt notice what we do see she organization is specially in the extremist and militarist way and so we are the increase of. The crying so the right wing b. S. Well we. Know you. Are left with people being. In danger or abused by right wing people in the last few 150 the morning conflicts choosing out international this weekend what i had in the program raising a glass at a future maybe the whole world chernobyl vodka i mean to raise money for the exclusion but just. People swallowed find that we come back. When else seemed wrong. But all wrong just dont call. Me. Yet to shape out just the attic. And in detroit because the trail. Went something a find themselves worlds apart wait shes to look for common ground. What politicians do something to. Put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president im sure. Somehow want to be wrestled. To the right to be cross with the wife of a 43 in the morning cant be good. Im interested always in the why does it matter how. Sick. I get warning a 9 year old german girls been told by a bowling call that she can join the countrys most prestigious boys choir breaking down the case of the debate is triggered says kids. Nobody likes rejection and no one wants to hear that not good enough but it seems for one family in germany no just isnt option picture a 9 Year Old Girl who just wanted to sing her mother says shes got the voice of an angel and that the best place in the city for her training is the bilin state and cathedral choir set up in the 15th century its one of the oldest and most renowned choirs in the country and its pretty much just got 2 rules you have to be over 5 to edition check and youve got to be a male ha undeterred though the god apply twice and was rejected both times but try try try again that time lucky for all dition before the door was once again slammed in her face but the choir is adamant agendas got nothing to do with. The acoustic pattern of a choir is part of its artistic freedom the rejection was not predominantly about her gender and she would have been successful had her voice matched the desired sound characteristics of a boys choir out unsurprisingly of the decision struck a wrong chord with the girls mother who is now taking the choir to court over gender inequality she says shes got a letter from the dean of belinda unify us to the arts which the choir is affiliated to and which is written that a ga will never sing in a boys choir also argue that as an institution receiving state funds rejecting female singers contravenes germanys gender Discrimination Laws now many have weighed in on the side of the quiet saying that mixing it would bring an end to its traditional sound nobody has said girls can sing as well but the tumble is different and judging this should be left to the musicians in the musicologists anyone who wants to misunderstood gender equality here is a cultural essence this standoff between gender equality and autistic freedom isnt exactly new Music Professionals and academics alike have been. To painting the anatomical differences of boys and girls voices 3 years saying the former has a purity the latter just cant attain and just last year the famous british the promising a Leslie Garrett called out all boys choirs for being stuck in the past the great looking traditionalist argue that there is an exclusive purity in the boys voice but i think thats just nonsense its an excuse to hang on male privilege and perpetuate a dominant male gender stereotype and male power but not ready to dump the carrot secure in his choir rolled out a very diplomatic answer we recognise different tasks to contribute to the tower female singers make to the choral scene here at cambridge were especially proud to follow mixed voice choir kings voices which was formed 20 years ago precisely to give women students the opportunity to sing choral music in the chapel we all know parents will do anything for that children but trying to shake up an institution that hasnt changed over half a millennium now that dedication. Few people will be willing to visit the site of a Nuclear Disaster if you are still youd think youd want to buy products made in the exclusion zone but a group of british scientists is looking to change that we can report theyve been working on producing a vodka made from grain from chernobyl we spoke to professor jim smith from the university of portsmouth about it he says the atomic spirit is completely safe and has been tested in world class the burra trees. Well what we did we set up an experimental sailcloth in the main exclusion zone about 20 kilometers south of the power station and its not one of the most radioactive parts of the exclusion zone but obviously theres some contamination and so we looked 1st at the transfer of radioactivity and crops and we grew right and so then when we amended the grain and distilled it to produce alcohol we as we expected because any chemist knows that when you to still something you leave a lot of the impurities in the waste product and not in the distillate alcohol so what we found was that when we measured the distillate alcohol we couldnt with very sophisticated equipment we couldnt find any radioactivity except a natural carbon 14 which would get in any spirit drink course the chernobyl disaster the worst in World History a shock to solve it in the world more than 30 years ago almost 600000 people were arrested by the affected by the catastrophe that Nuclear Plant its thought that up to 4 1000 2 people died still lots of variations on the figures there jim smith again says the initiative is not about grabbing headlines here though but more about promoting economic recovery in that area. What we want to do is make make money in order to help develop that area and support the communities that have been affected its a long road you know 30 years after the chernobyl accident and there are still issues particularly around the perception of radiation risk and people worried about the radiation perhaps when we scientists think the shouldnt they insert things in born from that point of view to show that we can make a Consumer Product that hopefully people will want to drink so i have to say this is technically this is not a vodka its more like in 30 high quality moonshine than what were producing is something using the more traditional way thats been done in ukraine belarus russia poland for many centuries to our distil that he thinks and i agree that its a good way of doing it because it keeps more of the flavor of the original grain and weve had a expert tasting it and they like the flavor. But i say so far so is your r. T. Dot com here moscow this saturday morning it came at 924 the morning when the rest of the on the team a great weekend and i was watching. Know why a paradise with some ground turned into a round the experimentation field but agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants theres no question otherwise why would that the Chemical Company workers themselves be geared up that suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments but often in day you have many of these people who have one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of Environmental Research going on in hawaii whether these Companies Feel they can get away with this because the people have less political power. Joined me everything on the alex simon chill and ill be speaking to guess what the world of politics Small Business im show business ill see of that. In this community there are people who believe that its ok food on my table its really hard there are no jobs and you see that ive got kids that ask and as a parent. I can come up with lots of arguments and theres a lot of conflict within the game and between the teams most of the conflict i would say overall is around money and most of them money is made. Close one on each other. Each other is Good Business the state of california alone makes 6000000000. 00 a year of the prison complex just to get some 20 alive where. You dont care. So you dont care about anything. Thank you so far slugger jack to the new this is the comedy show where americans in america cover an American News are called foreign agents. Look so look i love you know i love you guys here i love you at home i love all of you but every week in the comments of the emails i get people like i cant believe youre not covering fill in the blank kashmirs sudan or colombia where this particular person who was killed in the woods of West Virginia my boss is an ass to me because on the local media center and i look i just i just want to say i just want to say im trying. To make sure. Your congressman got a rash on his ear lobe but i cant get to everything have you tried aloe. May not covering a particular topic doesnt mean im controlled opposition for your cousins ears to your ways and it doesnt mean im in bed with big rash cream. On top of that even though its in the title of the show some people dont realize im trying to go up to the story that the Mainstream Media isnt plastering all over your television if you want to see that c. N. N. Is covering then watch this c. N. N. Is covering. For example there are large protests going on in hong kong and russia right now not really a secret but our Corporate Media wont tell you about other protests so lets get into some of the censored protests happening around the world thanks a lot of protests continue in honduras where a few weeks ago the American Embassy was burned by protesters standing up against the neo liberal government and i dont know why the protos burn the embassy did they not see the complaint box because it was right it was right we could go out. For those occasions. As reported by the gray zone 10 years ago the democratically elected center last left honduran president mandelas elia was whisked away from his residence in a brazen military raid supported by the United States is a lie as removal cleared the path for the interests of big business across the country he was whisked away in a military coup and we stopped the phrase whisked away was reserved for like romance novels. My dear friend the way you wish for me a way to get me to a picture as bed and breakfast. Play was magnificent. Whatever point. Protesters are literally burning the u. S. Embassy because we instead of to rule over them how is that not news. Hondurans our fury there like you. Had to deal liberal austerity measures supported by our government and the i. M. F. The measures have caused massive layoffs increased cost of basic goods essentially made their lives stock down there youve got to take out a loan to get a can of soup but as long as their government is pillaging the people of on doors appropriately our government is cool with it. Lets move on to the tiny country of brazil which. Happens to be the 5th largest cum country in the world which makes it the largest of the countries americans dont care about that recently a nationwide strike called by brazils trade unions disrupted public transport and triggered roadblocks ahead of protests against far right president balls and pension reform an estimated 45000000 workers had taken part in the strike 45000000 people shut down brazil can you imagine getting 45000000 americans to agree on and he said. Thank. You good get that many to agree that sneezing and farting at the same time is on acceptable during a piano recital. But this is not a story your Corporate Media will cover because its not good for the fascist president we support down there and be it might make American Workers think whatever we had a general strike. Here c. I think. You suppose we actually have time
