World news round of the next 30 minutes so we can stay 1st then the trumpet ministration is called on the u. S. Lawmakers to permanently reauthorize a National SecurityAgency DomesticSurveillance Program request was made in a letter to congress on thursday signed by the former National Intelligence director dan coats his 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 spying program falls under a section of the usa freedom act which is set to expire in december with more on this its a complicated story caleb maupin. 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 our adversaries trade craft and communications habits will continue to evolve and adapt. To these dynamic environment 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. And 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 in a real boost 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 no no 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 out 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. But u. S. Congresswoman who is planning to visit her mother in the occupied west bank has said she will no longer be making the trip the bug grown to receive the tellers announcement comes off to israel granted the reviews are on humanitarian grounds overturning crucially an early decision to deny your entry the democratic representative can hold israels undemocratic attempts to silence her of the kissy posted inroads.

Came to president Donald Trumps request television then sought to defend the move by invoking legislation the bans entry to foreigners who publicly call for a boycott of the country and that the governments treatment of the 2 muslim nor makers has however provoked widespread anger in washington. Israel doesnt advance its case as a tolerant democracy or and the u. S. Ally by bahrain 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 israels analysis and treaty congresswoman and omar is beneath the dignity of the great state of israel despite the outcry its worth noting that critics of israels human rights abuses could also face penalties that america itself the anti boycott out for instance which was posed 2 years ago allows us states to cut ties with contractors who support sanctions against television it was designed to calm the boycott divestment and sanctions efforts targeting israel over his building of illegal settlements in the palestinian territories critics of the legislation argued it violates the Us Constitution which clearly states that political boycotts are fully protected by the 1st amendment we talked to the Green Party Candidate for new York City Council money house or about this about how u. S. Authorities limits criticism of israel. I think it is dollars and hour but actually whats interesting about this is that the fact that there is sort of this retaliation hunnish meant for individuals businesses that are joining.

Call asian one. And 9 year old german goes being told by a cold that she can join the countrys most prestigious boys choir break in the case of the debate that should get themselves. 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 berlin 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 addition czech and youve got to be a male are undeterred though the girl apply twice and was rejected both times but try try try again 3rd time lucky she got called back for an all dition before the door was once again slammed in her face but the choir is adamant gender has 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 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 berlins university of the arts which the choir is affiliated to and which its written that aggarwal 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 choir 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 that should be left to the musicians and musicologists and you. Who won since false misunderstood gender equality here secretary rice is a cultural essence this standoff between gender equality and autistic freedom isnt exactly new Music Professionals and academics alike have been debating the anatomical differences of boys and girls voices the years saying the former has a purity of the law to just cant attain and just last year the famous british soprano signal Leslie Garrett called out all boys choirs for being stuck in the past backward looking traditionalist argue that there is an exclusive purity in the boys voice but i think thats just nonsense its an excuse to hand 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 on tsa will 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 millennia now that dedication. Well the shake it up so the next story look at the vodka right out of the program this saturday raising a glass to a Better Future should noble vodka no less a way to raise money for those inside the exclusion zone good idea or not but question is just how easy is it all going to be to swallow up the great. Lot of people talk about ponzi scams to people way not a ponzi scheme and. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sport this list im showbusiness ill see that. What politicians do something to. Put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president im sure. Or somehow want to. Have to go right to be cross its like the 4th tree in the morning cant be good. Im interested always in the waters of maui. Question. Which. From what you said cold as this is out international with me kevin owen hi there now the head of germanys federal police has voiced concern over rising levels of far right hate speech hes 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 over 8600. 00 right wing extremist offenses in the 1st half of 2019 thats 900 more the during the same period in 2018 but despite the increase the number of Violent Crimes stayed roughly the same with 23 arrests but in connection with 363 recorded attacks is a brief look at the scale right now of the countrys problem with far right extremism. While the case that potentially highlights the threat from the far right was the murder of the politician walter luke he was a member of anger merkel c. D. U. Party who is a strong supporter of migrant rights he received Death Threats and was killed with a gun shots to the head that is home at the beginning of june his suspected killer is believed to harbor extreme right wing views known as the police have said that theyre working hard to tackle far right extremism martindales of from the left he says he doesnt believe enough is being done. And the problem is that the right wing extreme right wing. For violence lists as well for any nice. Busy group called do not call it specialist extreme right wing group and they had a list of 25000 people who do politics christians who do activism for refugees we have a saying in germany which say that. Blind on the right. Means they dont really know what the right wing and the real extreme right wing doing and during the last years they did a lot of what we do Vision Organization is special we can be extremists and militarist and so we are the increase of. Crimes of the right wing we yes well we have a lot of. People of color. People. In danger or abuse being people in the last year. With former us special counsel investigation into Russian Election meddling done and dusted anticipation is now building out of a new report into the origins of that inquiry specifically the justice departments Inspector General is believed to be looking into whether or not the f. B. I. Abused its powers in surveilling a Campaign Advisor is expected to publish his findings in september on it and hes and should returns hes been speaking to the man at the center of the case scott page. It was just a complete meth these complete lies that were misleading the American Public and just created such you know such problems for. The trumpet ministration i think is just terrible and the person has allegations that the f. B. I. Were worried about when they read this amazing dossier by the former by 6 by against you what was just so preposterous right now and that i have. 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 had the inquiry now weve got the horowitz inquiry just how does that differ to the attorney general the now attorney general bill 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. Hongkong now another weekend of prodemocracy protests is in full swing these i believe are they guys these live pictures a lot let me know the latest pictures used to the rounds that come in just 5 minutes ago so. Thousands of teachers and his supporters are rallying to show solidarity with the young people whove been only mass demonstration since june rainy day the umbrellas are up to much is a plan this saturday to be held on sunday people were initially protesting a controversial extradition bill but now theyve got a much broader set of demands they include the resignation of hong kongs lead to carry law still ongoing democratic elections again that was the original demand and. Also an inquiry into alleged Police Brutality so again people on the streets pretty quiet at the moment. Will be following that we can see what happens. From a live event to some ingenuity. Few people be willing to visit the site of a Nuclear Disaster few are still youd think want to buy products made in the exclusion zone around it but a group of british scientists is looking to change that theyve been working on producing a vodka made with grain from general we spoke to professor jim smith from the university of portsmouth he says the atomic spirit is completely safe has been tested in world class labs. But what we did we set up an experimental sailcloth in maine 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 look 1st at the transfer of radioactivity into crops and we grew right and so then when we ferment in 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 the chernobyl disaster the worst in World History a shock to solve it in well the world more than 30 years ago almost 600000 people were affected by the catastrophe at the Nuclear Plant according to the World Health Organization give us with again says this fog project now is not about grabbing headlines but more about promoting much needed 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 forums not point of view to show that we can make a Consumer Product that hopefully people will want to drink so i have to say that this is technically this is not a vodka its more like in 30 high quality moonshine and what were producing is something using the more traditional way thats been done in ukraine belarus russia poland for many centuries to allow it to still that he thinks and i agree that this is a good way of doing it because it keeps more of the flavor of the original grain and weve that was handed a tasting and they like the flavor or bless them a lot safer now is 24 hours well its all but impossible a day mosco time always so much more for us all to call here moscow this saturday for me kevin owen of the rest of the tape thanks for taking the time to watch this have a great weekend. When ellen show him wrong. But all wrong just dont call. Me the world yet to ship out hes going to cancel it again from an equal betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart. Just in the common ground. What do you do before you came here where did you work before you came here when you lived. Death row im in many us States Capital punishment is still practiced convicted prisoners can spend years waiting for execution but most of the time the victims families they are very much in favor the Death Penalty there are some people because of what they did they have given up the right to live among us some even proven innocent after years on death row and how many more exonerations is it going to take before we as a society realize that this is not working and we actually do something about. How why a paradise with some around turned into a round the experimentation field for 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 and 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. Hi there im backscatter this is that as the report. Lot of people talk about ponzi scams but to people we know what a ponzi scheme is stacy well of course weve been talking about ponzi schemes because he cant taper a ponzi and that was attempted over the past year with quantitative tightening in Interest Rates rising obviously that has all fallen apart especially in europe where we have 15 trillion and negative yielding debt and went up by over 600000000000 and one day just in the past week and now i want to look at a headline about the unthinkable becoming thinkable of course its always been think about here in keizer report we always think outside the box but here in the Mainstream Media theyre saying could treasury yields ever fall into negative territory and vespers are wondering whether u. S. Treasury yields might follow the trend witnessed in germany or other sovereign markets and eventually fall into negative territory the m think a bull is now thinkable of course this is the german eels and this is the u. S. 10 year yield and as you see since basically the European Union finally began quantitative easing in earnest theyve gone into negative territory but i tell you whats remarkable is that you know we made a film like 10 years ago about the collapse of iceland we went to iceland about 6 months 9 months before it collapsed and predicted that it would collapse because it was a serious ponzi scheme where the banks were lending. To speculate and the result of that speculation in the Housing Market would be used as collateral at the bank to create more lending so it became a huge ponzi scheme force a collapsed now people talk about these negative Interest Rates they think its the result of some policy by someone in doing some economic bennett benefit but they dont understand is that its the biggest bubble in history the sovereign bond bubble is by far the biggest ponzi scheme bubble its ever been created in the history of the world and when you talk about these sovereign bonds trading in negative rates that means the price of the bond is a 3000 year highs thats stented this bubble is and how does it get there its because the banks are lending against the ponzi value of the bonds to leverage more buying of those ponzi extended bonds and of course like iceland this will result in a 98 percent collapse. Never in the history of the world in 1971 did the human race ever engage in all fiats currency commerce trading settlements system i weve always had gold backed currencies or other some other hard assets thats why nations went bankrupt all the time thats why many wars happened is because france would go bankrupt they would have no gold left or Something Like that so now we have just an infinite regress of ever referring to another contract or another fiats currency printed by something backed by we dont know what except for perhaps the mightiest army that is never stopped and threatened the earth and thats what we have now so thats why they could go they think they believe they could do this right i mean its a good point that up until 971 there was always at least one currency in the world that had a gold backing you know the brain was agreement that was after world war 2 set the american us dollar up as a
