Level but italys Justice Minister revealing he was threatened when he visited the much errata shooting victims in hospital. Groups against me and my family but i was the first is to go away when the time comes to take action so i. Mean while a video has appeared in the media showing their match aired art a shooter shaking hands with the leader of the right wing leader nought more over the shooter stood as a candidate for the party in local elections last year my colleague neil harvey debated the issue with a legal north councillor. If this guy. Became a creaminess. We. Very well. In the next election the people will. Use it to vote and this is the only way we act any violent act carried out by an immigrant it seems like the response is is also considerable surely this is not good for the country as a whole how do you feel about whats been reported the rise of nationalism and fascism in italy we are just telling you the people we need lo we need control of account to be we cannot lose our identity because italy if this mood of immigration will rise and we will lose. The ally of your party the former soviet belasco and hes called migrants a time bomb now is fairly aggressive rhetoric is only going to further divide people you said your weapon is your your pension should be trying to bring people together we found always the right way to act together and when we have been in the government the last time in two thousand eighty two two thousand and eleven we practically stopped the arrival of Illegal Immigrants in two thousand and eleven we had only four thousand arrival in one year in last year we had the more than one hundred forty thousand arrival of Illegal Immigrants in italy so you can see the difference and this is a bomb because at the most of those people are illegal they will never go get the. Paper refugee because just the five maximum ten percent of them is a real refugee. A psychotherapist and gender specialist in the u. K. Is challenging a university which is blocking research into people who were gret undergoing gender change james caspian claims the move by passed by university is an attack on free speech extremely stressful to find myself improved in these proceedings which. I think should be of great concern to anyone who values free speech in knowledge i do believe that the research i proposed is important to the well being of the transgendered community the research proposed by mr caspian was an initially approved by academics back in twenty fifteen but was later dropped in december twenty sixth Eighteen High Court judges ruled in the universitys favor according to mr caspian the University Dropped the research because it fits there would be a backlash on social media r. T. Discussed the issue with walt who reversed his decision to become a woman. Been back now to my birth gender for twenty five years have been married for twenty years you know when i discovered that the this whole that this whole transgender thing is built solely on feelings theres absolutely no objective proof that anyone is a transgender except by no self identifying as a transgender is no medical proof that anyone is a transgender and theres no proof that anyone benefits from the surgery over the long term there are some people like myself feel like we had a good time while it lasted but when the truth rears its ugly head and you want your life back you want to live in reality and not in so. You know surgically made transgender life i have found out in my many years of working with transgendered people that there is a groundswell of people day transitioning im working with them all the time now more and more letters from around the world from people who after five seven twelve maybe fifteen even twenty years they wanted to transition back calling the surgery in their gender change just pure folly and bullishness and totally unnecessary so they want to help you transition just as. Well we have asked university to comment on his decision regarding mr caspians or set. Mr caspians Research Proposal was not refused on the grounds of topic but on the methodological approach the university was not convinced the approach would guarantee the anonymity of his participants and the confidentiality of data there was such a loss to the first round of his legal battle leaving him to cover the universitys court costs he set up a crowdfunding page to cover the expenses and mount a fresh legal challenge against the university it so far raised almost fourteen thousand pounds while taylor again believes the university has been politically motivated in its decision you know i think its political absolutely i think its totally political are afraid of b l g b d which is so powerful it would probably overwhelm university if they start studying this like james cares wanted to do at the university what they would find out is theres a bass number of people who are d. Transitioning because they regret having changed their gender so i think theyre fearful of the truth coming out this is their way of preventing research from being done for us as defense minister contradicts the western line on the Syrian Governments alleged use of chemical weapons weve got that story and more after this short break. The bond market will not crash and this time it will continue yields will go even lower and negative yields on various bonds will increase from the multi trillion dollars worth of negative yielding sovereign debt now the even more multi multi multi trillion dollars of negative yielding sovereign debt and were going to go down the rabbit hole even further but it certainly smells like what the comic cash withdrawal in places like china and west sell off in all these various markets and with the oil prices climbing higher and gold looking better that weve got here an Old Fashioned reversal. Welcome back the French Defense minister says theres insufficient evidence the Syrian Government has been using chlorine gas well that contradicts previous claims by a number of western politicians including frances foreign minister. When theyre designed guess you. Do. Absolutely. Resolved to kill. The French Defense minister saying that there is no reliable evidence to suggest that chlorine was used by the Syrian Government contradicting what we heard just a few days ago from the French Foreign minister who had stated that that chlorine attack it being carried out by the Syrian Government. And the Syrian Government has been accused of carrying out or in attacks in the areas in the country in january it was accused of doing so by a number of groups including the syrian observatory for human rights which some people have questioned the organization which is run by a businessman in the u. K. And also by the white helmet so voluntary group which some people have accused of aiding with the terror executions that have been carried out in syria by taking away the bodies at the end of the execution will the u. S. Government has also spoken out about these alleged attacks in syria with the u. S. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson when he was in france last month same regardless of who carried out these attacks the blame was on russia whoever conducted. Russia ultimately bears responsibility for the victims and. Countless others targeted with chemical weapons since russia became involved in syria well the secretary of defense in the u. S. James mattis actually went even further than that suggesting that its not just chlorine attacks but also that sarin has been used in other chemical agent in these attacks although he did also admit that there will in your own evidence that could back up those claims now the u. N. Is of course invested. The allegations all these attacks in syria on some of the areas in the country but it remains to be seen whether the probes will ever be able to identify any concrete evidence as to whether those attacks indeed took place and who indeed was behind them and of course whether they will be able to agree and find a result of ject of enough for everybody to agree on. The latest wave of allegations about Chemical Attacks come as the International Community struggles to agree on the way such claims are investigated until november it was handled by a body called the joint investigative mechanism it blames the most controversial chemical incident in april twenty seven thousand on the Syrian Government however those conclusions were made despite experts never even visiting the site of the attack and instead relying on third parties to gather evidence and now with that missions mandate expired moscow has been calling for changes to be made to the mechanism russia proposes experts must visit the sites of alleged attacks to collect thought pools and conduct eyewitness interviews however the plan collapsed after the u. S. That it would block the resolution defense analyst ivan eland thinks the issue has become highly politicized. The problem is with these things is the one never knows for sure there are multiple sides on the battlefield it takes a long time to get the investigations done in the astray should always likes to. Put on a tough facades the one is we dont care who did this but the Syrian Government is responsible for it thats kind of a strange statement i think if they accuse russia and syria of something that either didnt happen or somebody else did maybe their evidence isnt that great thats probably the reason they dont have anything to back it up and they do it they dont want. Any independent investigation. A woman in california has been a prominent face of the anti harassment me two movement has found herself that the sons of a Sexual Misconduct to control the city shes been accused by at least two men of inappropriate behavior on the startling view that has the details democratic assemblywoman Christina Garcia has a reputation as a fierce advocate for women and asking National Recognition for condemning Sexual Misconduct all over the place is that there was a story thank you we should not have to be on your shoulders to make this change but again it was their choice to make the power to bring down the paper i can protect their time magazines violence breakers issue centering on speaking out against harassment even featured garcias face in the artwork and inclusion that garcia was humbled by posting on twitter that she was proud of the work being done and the issues clearly personal in october garcia revealed to the New York Times that she has also been sexually assaulted by men in her workplace multiple people have grabbed my bottom grabbed my breasts were talking about c. B. And o. B. s lawmakers earlier this week garcia even helped pass a bill granting whistleblower protections to legislative staff who are victims of Sexual Misconduct announcing after the bills approval that you are not standing alone. And yet news has now broken up two men accusing garcia of Sexual Harassment one of the alleged victims is a former legislative staffer highly ironic considering the bill she helped pass is meant to protect legislative staff probes already been launched into the incident alleged to have happened back in two thousand and fifteen after an Assembly Softball GameDaniel Farrow claims that while she was intoxicated garcia rubbed his back and squeezed his buttocks before attempting to do more than reportedly quickly it started himself from the situation and it looks like this may even be a pattern for garcia as a second accuser story is eerily similar an unnamed lobbyist alleges that a drunk percy accosted him last may making graphic sexual proposals or trying to grab his crotch she came back and was whispering roo close and i could smell the booze and see she was pretty far gone she looked at me for a second and sit ive set a goal. He says he adamantly rejected the offer at this point garcias camp has only responded to the first accusation the details of these claims have never been brought to my attention and till today i can also say i have zero recollection of engaging in appropriate behavior and such behavior is inconsistent with my valise but if weve learned anything from the me too movement its that accusations carry more weight than denials and once one person comes forward the floodgates tend to open.
