Times opinion editor resigns claiming she was bullied because her views didnt fall into line with the rest of the paper and says twitter is the papers also murdered. Good morning live from martys world news h. Q. Here in moscow its kevin are with you for the latest this morning 1st often in germany as were heading there vulnerable young boys have been placed in the foster care of paedophile man damning report by a University Also says the authorities either ignored evidence of abuse or were complicit in letting it happen cases as recent as 2003 and details stem back to the 960 s. Peter all of it has been speaking with some of the victims whove come forward. Decades of the. Bufs carried out by put in a position to protect the most vulnerable in society for 30 years starting in the 1970 s. Berlin or thor place children in the care of a convicted paedophile named for its age i spoke to 2 of his victims to protect their right to anonymity theyll be named only as spain and marco. Our daily lives were dominated by instructions we were shielded from the outside world like a sect most of the time we faced violence if we wanted to go out or meet someone else we were intimidated and told these people were bad that we should have nothing to do with them we wanted to go anyway we were forbidden every day it was mental and physical mistreatment and we were only realizing this now we were forced to do things we wouldnt normally do because we were threatened that was our life the worse the treatment the more you felt this person was important to you every day with this man was a fight for survival in a fight to preserve your so what makes this all the more troubling is that the lives of these men as well as others were essentially being. As part of an experiment supply they generated psychologist helmet and even after his death in 2008 cantaloupe was regarded as a founder of more than 6 ology he was in effect a little more than a match maker putting neglected children into the care of predators. We learned about this experiment when dots and then called in 2017 my thought was this cant be true i was not im a product of chance i was deliberately selected by the branch of the s. P. D. Party the ruling party at the time that hired a mercenary to destroy our lives in an experiment when we heard about it we felt it will dyment what particularly bothers us is that the names of those responsible are missing but there must be a further investigation in my opinion this is one of the greatest crimes of the postwar era the fact that it was really an experiment is shameful and very humiliating it was tolerated for decades no one ever came along and asked how we were doing how life with our foster father was going nobody ever came over to check. Those responsible are still sits. In offices or enjoying their pensions theyre trying to hide behind a statute of limitations to torpedo another investigation is shameful that the perpetrator the organization is hiding behind legal quibbles to avoid shedding light on it this criminal organization should not be behind the investigation the care system in germany has changed dramatically since scandalous time when it comes to who can act as a Foster Parent to authors of a study into the can flourish experiments of told r. T. That there is no way his crimes were carried out without the Welfare Office being directly involved. In germany forced to carry is the responsibility of future Welfare Offices so children and adolescents who leave in force to families always grow up im just 8 observation the thing that occurred in the 1st the homes we examined could not have happened without the knowledge of officials in the us welfare authorities there has never been the states investigation into the actions of kempler and his experiment instead it is told us they are pushing for a nationwide examination to look at the real scale of the abuse since we have nationwide connections further Research Going to be limited only to berlin the center for education youth and family has said that she wants to submit an application to the conference of ministers to deal with Sexual Violence in foster homes it also makes sense to work with the independent commissioner for child sexual abuse and also scientific experts who are already in contact with them the victims of abuse say the knowledge of the berlin government makes them accomplices in the crimes and in moscow of pushing for legal action today after having been failed by the authorities there the Berlin Senate is 100 percent involved the Berlin Senate initiated it and then tolerated it it has already been admitted worley but not. Legally from the very beginning the only thing that mattered to them was how to keep the problem small then criminal charges were put forward we file charges in the senate kept in touch with us since then theres been no contact with the senate it is impossible to build up such an organization on this scale without state help. We expect justice our lives have been destroyed we are unable to work and we have become aware that we are just a pile of misery we were put in this situation by the government deliberately it was not an accident as we thought until now it is a matter of course that the senate will make amends the senate has offered as 10000. 00 euros in return for us taking no further action against it the names of those responsible and the consequences for these people are still missing as long as it stays like that things are not over this is a particularly harrowing story of exploitation and failure to protect the state who was expressly directed to protect. New York Police Officers injured a vicious attack by a protester on wednesday while they were supervising a mostly peaceful march against gun crime they were assaulted when marchers met counter protesters on Brooklyn Bridge the officers were making an arrest and identified man has been seen running towards the officers and then beating them with a cane the n. Y. P. D. Says 3 of its officers sustained injuries including a police chief who only last month showed his solidarity with protesters by taking the knee. Beautiful moment of chief Terrance Monaghan of the new York City Police department in solidarity with protesters. A retired Philadelphia Police captain ray lewis says hes worried that officers are now seen by rather as the peoples enemy by the protesters. There are obviously much more concern nowadays with being attacked due to the actions of other officers because there is such a thing called the halo effect and that is now every officer is being asserted on as brutal and an enemy of the minority population the fact is these officers words fact totally unnecessarily what disappointed me with this is none of the other protesters even push this guy away welcome to the ground focused weapon you want to win over. Empathy for your movement. Do the right thing justice is for everybody the solution to violent protest is to confront the reason you have violent protests confront the economic disparities can confront the job lack of job opportunity confront the lack of education for black people these are so huge that go into these protests. Prominent opinion editor of the New York Times has dramatically walked out and sent a stinging Resignation Letter accusing the paper of pandering to twitter voices rather than finding the truth buddy weiss also claims she was bullied by colleagues because her views didnt match the papers prevailing stance she says quality journalism at the times has suffered to indulge the few. Twitter is not on the mast head of the New York Times but twitter has become its ultimate editor as the ethics and mores of that platform have become those of the paper the paper itself has increasingly become a kind of performance piece stories are chosen and told in a way to satisfy the narrowest of audiences rather than to allow a curious public to read about the world and then draw their own conclusions weiss addressed a letter to the New York Times publisher arthur gregg salzberg and hes declined to comment so far a spokesperson for the company says the paper is committed to fostering an environment of honest searching and empathetic dialogue between colleagues last week voice was also one of the writers who signed that open letter against Council Culture published in the literary and Current Affairs magazine harpers shell also previously came under fire for her comments in the wake of a controversial article in the times last month written by a republican senator who called for a military response to the anti racism or unrest she tweeted that there was a civil war than between the mostly young woakes and the mostly 40 plus liberals Resignation Letter also accuse the times of failing to resist tribalism. The papers failure to anticipate the outcome of the 26000. 00 election meant that it didnt have a firm grasp of the country covers lessons about the importance of understanding other americans the necessity of resisting tribalism and this in charity of the Free Exchange of ideas to a Democratic Society have not been learnt instead a new consensus has emerged in the press the truth isnt a process of collective discovery but an orthodoxy already known to an inmate and few whose job is to inform everyone else legal meaning media around list lionel and american journalist journalist share their thoughts about how they see the state of journalism at the New York Times in a moment. Shes from the opinion part of the page up this did this is this Robust Exchange of ideas of intellectual exchange would be the marketplace of of new ideas this is the opinion section and she said you want to have an opinion in the opinion section this is huge because youre showing dissention of people who are complaining about the cancel culture with then what used to be the preeminent news source in the in the world keep in mind that the New York Times a while back actually changed both headlines and coverage based upon what people saw on employees at new organ and news conferences among the employees or you could change the course of the writing or newspaper based upon popular opinion of the employees you know how the New York Times and now the New York Times stories on twitter. Its untrue. They dont even use their own newspaper to when its going to do we didnt do this its fantastic so the paper is completely lost its way its completely on the times leadership is very weak dean back had 2 minds encouraging them one in one hand discouraging on the other and the all the time to timid and afraid to do anything to control the times is essentially destroyed itself she took issue with the the feminist movement and various other movements as well which infuriated these other forces which are increasingly fanatical and intolerant and essentially life for her became intolerable in the New York Times i tend to assume that that she was subject to some really harsh treatment the point is the whole structure is falling apart.

I think you say absolutely fantastic its good for the people of bristol its good for lives marked i think personally i think you should study this stuff she was a wreck she did legally. And i think it was a democracy you should be able to vote for what statute i reckon he knows you disagree with the way the college hes like she was taking down change in his acts of vandalism against you individually like the piece what weve seen in bristol to see that the 1st that she was taken down that started all of these things overall people are happy the statue was gone there should have been a debate about it just to put out there but in just one pushed out should you want to know. Well its been taken down and put in museum with city leaders still pondering what to put there the citys mayor says there needs to be a democratic process for the people of bristol to decide the future of said meantime plenty of reaction online not all of it positive some saying it had to come down because it failed to reflect the diversity of bristols population others are sticklers for the rules calling it a breach of planning egotistical and a show of disrespect to the city brecks it party cofounder no less from blakelock spoke to us about that she thinks it sets a dangerous precedent.

To put it up in the middle of the night shows you actually what this movement is about this movement isnt about the people bristol the people are if they really wanted to they could apply to have planning permission to put this out they didnt. Trust it didnt that a few people can decide and that democracy does not matter anymore. Russian scientists are picking up the pace now in testing a potential vaccine for co with 90.
