Group you are not on. Sunday afternoon at 5. This is the way we were taking a look at some of the big stories weve covered here over the past 7 days were going to start in the United States where the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump rumbles on now a 2nd whistleblower is reportedly considering filing a complaint over the president s dealings with ukraine and that intelligence official is said to have more direct information than the person who 1st raised the alarm meanwhile democrats spearheading the probe are demanding protections for the informants involved so thats a far cry from attitudes to other whistleblowers in recent years reports. We are now told that in this dark age of trumping tyranny one heroic individual has spoken up like a voice crying out in the wilderness we dont know his name or his occupation but we know that he is good and i think the whistleblower did the right thing i think he followed the law every step of the way the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community found this whistleblower complaint both credible and urgent i want to say thank you also to the whistleblower for having the courage of the bravery to come forward on behalf of the nation now not only must this gallant hero be held in the highest level of reverence but he must also be protected from any attack on him would be an attack on the american way of life from everything we know and we dont know much this is a experienced person who saw things that bothered him thats what the whole whistle ball blower statue is for and it is to protect their identity and i understand hes going to testify and well let the process unfold and the you remember how Hillary Clinton apparently wanted to kill julian assad with a drone well lets not get lost in details but lets go over some recent whistleblowers in u. S. History. I never tortured anybody. But im heading to prison while the tortures of the lawyers and people who were and the people who deceived and the man who destroyed the proof of the tapes will never face justice ive never gained anything through what ive said publicly that ive lost everything. We got special ops forces the dead man can leak stuff this guy is a traitor a treasonous illegally shoot the son of a. Mr snowden was a patriot he is a law breaker he violated american law he violated his duties that he assumed when he took the job that he had lets look at snowden here you know some might try to shift say that oh hes a great human rights crusader he is not at all like the great human rights crusaders in the past might argue that this case is different because this whistleblower didnt run to the press but simply followed standard procedure but the record seems to show that a lot of cases have whistleblowers who do follow this procedure so why jail time for some of them it turns out the law does not actually protect them from retaliation they can be fired or prosecuted so are all future whistleblowers doomed well not quite secure backers carefully protecting whistleblowers who see wrongdoing of any kind in our government is essential so if youre a whistleblower in america take a step back look over what you have and ask yourself could this information benefit anyone powerful in america if not your official complaint will probably be ignored and if you dont shut up after that the consequences could be severe the current whistle blowers case is very different from others. The others were blowing the whistle on the system so these were real real abuses what crimes and abuses of our 4th amendment no this new whistleblower we need to put in quotes what was he reporting of course there are double standards there are standards for those who want to put pursue their political aims using this particular whistleblower in quotes and there are other rules for people who really oppose the system and its abuses. Well one of the people just mentioning calebs reporter Edward Snowdens reacted on twitter saying its unbelievable that the media isnt pressing politicians about the case of another whistleblower former n. S. A. Analyst daniel hale whos being prosecuted for lifting the lid on the u. S. Drone warfare programs at a time when democrats are making statements about supporting informants. This week india and the world celebrated the 150th birthday of its spiritual leader and the symbol of the nation by gandy on wednesday Major Political parties paid tribute to gandy even ordered officials to undertake pilgrimages walking up to 15 kilometers a day in their constituencies and sleeping in villages these legacy is recognised globally and his birthday the 2nd of october is celebrated worldwide as the International Day of nonviolence the indian Prime Minister said his praises at the un. Mahatma gandhi was an indian but he not only belong to india he stays far away from the government but reigns today in the hearts of billions of people his influence the lives of people who never met him from Martin Luther king jr to know some mandela. Back then spearheading the Indian Independence movement Mahatma Gandhi is often referred to as the father of the nation throughout his life he promoted the ideology of nonviolent resistance and tolerance towards other religions india finally shook off British Colonial rule in 1947 a year later gandhi was assassinated by hindu nationalists but not everyone seems to be enamored of the peace and tolerance i called gandhis poster in one northeastern city it was defaced with graffiti saying the traitor of the nation there also claims that an urn with some of his ashes was stolen the editor of the news magazine india today blames the act on the descendants of the same hindu extremists who killed a gandy. Do remember that not too dumb. And some of that is a source shot. In the your 948 the members all. Of this not too damn good sick group who also claim to be hindus they have a very narrow notion of in the wisdom they want to impose some very sort of in our notions of hindu ism the believe that might be Gandhi Gandhi was responsible for the partition of india they think that he was appeasing the muslim the Muslim League which demanded the creation of pakistan i think such groups have been told to leave marginalised and because they are marginalized therefore they carry on extremist activities so i dont see this group of this kind of activity coming into the mainstream i see them carrying on these kind of activities once in a while in order to spin a flawed they make all kinds of extremist arguments sometimes they have even built held responsible for some amount of violence so but i dont think its a very large group but and they had this very tolerant and you know very sort of broadened progress to notion of nationalism which i think majority indians understand and thats why such extremist groups can never become the Mainstream Group in the country aling you know that we trace the life of Mahatma Gandhi in a set of feature length reports on this child of a group who are in the dark late but in a boat with a group they. Love. If it is a British Naval you get an event but did inflate violently to be captured that in a haitian. To where they were living in. The lets go to the could be of the base gun they could be a man they could be a 12 year old child. It could be any of these people but we need the big this is very important because the are we wired to cause scenes of the. Next this seemingly innocent hand gesture has landed the theme park employee in hope water in florida and actor dressed as the character grew from despicable me made an upside down ok simple when posing with a 6 Year Old Girl whos biracial and as autism the ok hand gesture has recently been recognized as a hate symbol americas Anti Defamation League says that the once innocent enough sign has been hijacked by White Supremacists. Even as extremists continue to use symbols that may be years or decades old they regularly create new symbols means and slogans to express their headful sentiments we believe Law Enforcement and the public needs to be fully informed about the meaning of these images which can serve as a 1st a warning sign to the presence of hate in the community or school the ok symbols white power meaning was initially part of an online prank but apparently White Supremacists liked what they saw and started using it that way in earnest among them the suspected gunman in the Christ Church mosque shootings in new zealand during a Court Appearance and last year a former white house employee was accused of making the white power site but her defenders pointed out that was unlikely because shes Mexican American and a descendant of Holocaust Survivors so were still going to take up all the dangerous appropriation of our everyday symbols and gestures we put up for discussion. Label things like global or the ok symbol as a symbol of White Supremacy races do do certain things i mean at a certain point they do everything in or people do mean races have to eat food they have to drink water they have to breathe air so at what point do we label eating food as racist Drinking Water as received in breathing air is received its just really can of certain his particular point sounds a little some of these beings that have been in his new things were very low with. Hateful subversive groups the problem is that the symbol has become an actual code to say hey we are part of this group you are not and you know the main point of this is to go for well its a far its far right movement supporting you know again far right ideologies that are very well known in this country to be florida but my point is you know is vast to go for instance and it was an indian sacred religious symbol 50500 years we see. And you know some people in germany its ok to put on a red flag and now it was a symbol it was an invert the swastika and that became the symbol of nazism ok but the ok sign is nat day all right ok so you can find it right now on your phone via. Device i phone you can find it ok so right now when you search for the new moji there is the equivalent to ok ok it is being used ok for a very long and it wasnt a couple years ago were some kind of troll thing happening on the internet then it became some nose because the Mainstream Media picked it up and i think the whole purpose of the trolling campaign was to trick the Mainstream Media into doing it and of course now we hear that the a. D. L. Is looking for here is not to label every single thing that we do say or or you know we communicate what they are specifically doing is trying to inform you know people that there are certain symbols that seem innocuous but that are currently being used to. Incite violence and crime and you know fundamentalists political ideas that put this democracy in jeopardy it is not simple it is the n. S. A. Thing if people want to use it for whatever you want to use it for ok but to compare it to nazi flag is absurd ok millions day if you like. Versus the ok so i think i was not a hate symbol until it was. An indian use a day earlier his whole can ensure that the only stock in this is a thief or moscow ahead more of the big stories weve brought here from the past week a toxic as scare after a massive fire at a french chemicals factory locals are really worried well tell you why. Join me every thursday on the alex simon chill and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im showbusiness ill see of that. Problem in syria. Became exacerbated is probably because the United States and the Russian Federation both of them decided to deal with it at an arms length. The regional allies to take care of things there are a number of opportunities there were if they were seized and there were real serious attempts by moscow and washington to solve the problem and i was witness to a number of them and it could have been possible and with a shortened the war would have saved a lot of lives theres no dont. Welcome back a major a major worries for locals about what was in the smoke that went up into the edge airing it nonetheless the authorities in the french city of rule have declared the area safe after a major blaze at a nearby chemical factory late last month. There is no risk regarding asbestos fiber in the air the results of 3 a specialist tests are available now for the best here we are in the area closest to the place of the disaster and we can see that the white swans have stayed there in their habitat and there is no trace of pollution in the water so we have physical proof that the environment and wildlife are not currently affected by the pollution that occurred that it will further away. On an attempt to calm fears the french government even set up an emergency helpline but locals are still deeply concerned for their health and dispute claims by the authorities that the is safe to breathe. The Chemical Plant just across the water that was a blaze a thick plume of black smoke bellowed into the sky as firefighters battled almost 24 hours against the flames. And its good is with you im not saying that the smell isnt pleasant im just telling you what the results of the tests are namely that the air is not harmful since then there has been growing anger over what some say is a lack of information over what was put into not fire and the impact that could have on peoples health. You can talk to any firemen but when you have any type of contact with the smoke its dangerous it can be lethal because of the Carbon Monoxide and in this case when the smoke went into the sky we dont know what was in it we dont know exactly what is in the year and we worry a lot that in the future it might bring cancer or something else. I have 4 kids and they were impacted by the smell and my grades i thought about having tests done before was with absolutely no information about what we should be looking for i could take blood samples but what are you going to tell them to look for i know they could be cancer thyroid problems but the problem is that we hear lots of rumors nothing concrete. I think there is a risk for health and i can feel it because i have a need to throw it and im continuously coffee were worried about the how to march children in the future will they have cancer or something we just dont know around the rule some people are also taking that proportions some locals have also experienced more vomiting whilst others. Complain that the tap water is black and then there is the stench you can smell that the air is foul its a bit like rotting eggs but with a chemical tinge and despite the initial denials that there was no health risk the French Health minister has admitted that its clearly polluted. It is a factory that produces hydrocarbons even if not in large volumes it is never good for the population to come across these kinds of products i cannot say that there is no danger the city is clearly polluted several schools were closed off to the fire and though some have attempted to reopen many teachers are refusing to return to work. Colleagues from schools near lubrizol who have refused to work until they receive information about what was burnt and the risk because they are just a few 100 metres away from the site they did so to protect their health and that of the children who are under their responsibility and thats why there has been a demand that the original school 30 acknowledged their right not to have children attend school under this condition. While Health Concerns are immediate whats perhaps most telling about the danger people here are facing is the fact that food sales from 100 districts around ruin have been banned any produce that may have been exposed to contamination has to be destroyed that even includes milk. Hybrid carrots and worked closely with milk produces dioxins are measured in memory grams and there are a problem for us because they become highly concentrated in milk and are toxic so they render it unfit for consumption it is vital for us to know as soon as possible whether there are any dioxins in those burning materials whats going on who term us what to do with our produce so that you dont love my advice even reached as far as belgium and the netherlands raising concerns that the impact could be eve. The radio reaching flags of also being raised for the health of the police and the firefighters who were on d. C. During the fire protests like this have now formed to pressure the authorities to outline any risks they may face they demanding answers but are afraid that even if they receive and that the danger is as a result of that plays may not a message for months or even years from now charlotte t. V. Ski altie who all. Violence sadness and found to say that just some of the things you might expect to see when you visit an art gallery but londons typewritten museum has deemed the warning necessary for a new exhibition of 19th century drawings by William Blake we take a look. But. Never ever ever we need to see the visions of peoples minds not how wed like the world to be whos who they think might be offended in this very very easily offend the world we live in oh you know were not interested in going to gallery of everythings bland and going in the town going to limbo your speech you know expects you to get. I think youve got jacksons a religious grandson did the same thing. And i suppose i would have issues if there is a lot of Sexual Violence against women or anything like that being when in fact i dont think it will be. The bare breast symbol 6 painted by our artists are considered by you to be an appropriate we have noticed that facebook consistently rejects works of art by our beloved peter paul rubens.
