From our studios in moscow recapping the weeks top stories with our Weekly Program this is our international. And i 2nd whistleblower has emerged in the impeachment probe against donald trump the unnamed intelligence official reportedly has information on the u. S. President s dealings with ukraine meanwhile democrats spearheading the investigation are demanding protection for the informants involved and that is despite their attitude to other whistleblowers in the recent past as arties came up and comments. We are now told that in this dark age of 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 the 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 sees justice ive never gained anything through what ive said publicly that ive lost everything. We got special ops forces the dead man cant leaks that 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 should 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 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 been ask yourself get 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 whistleblowers 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. 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. One of the people just mentioned in calebs report Edward Snowden has reacted on twitter he says it is unbelievable that the media is not pressing politicians about the case of another whistleblower former n. S. A. Analyst daniel l. Who is being prosecuted for leaking information on u. S. Drawn drone warfare programs. This week india marked 150 years since the birth of Mahatma Gandhi a man seen as a global symbol of nonviolent resistance on wednesday a Major Political parties paid tribute to gandhi even ordered officials to undertake pilgrimages walking up to 15 kilometers a day in their constituencies and even sleeping in villages gandhis legacy is recognised globally and his birthday the 2nd of october is celebrated worldwide as the International Day of nonviolence indian Prime Minister honored him in a speech at the un. Gone d. G. A. Mahatma gandhi was an indian but he did not solely belong to india he stayed far away from the government today in the house of billions of people is influenced the lives of people who know the man from Martin Luther king jr to know some mandela. Gandhi spearheaded indian resistance against british rule and is often referred to as the father of the nation throughout his life he promoted the ideology of non violent resistance intolerance towards other religions india finally shook off the British Colonial rule in 1907 but a year later gandhi was assassinated by hindu nationalists today opinions on gandhi are more mixed gandhis poster in one that northeastern city was defaced with graffiti which read the traitor of the nation and theres also claims that an urn with some of his ashes was stolen the editor of news magazine in india today blames the act on the descendants of the same hindu extremists who killed gandhi. Dude remember that not too dumb. And some of his associates shot. Ghandi gandhi in the you are 948 the members of this not poor dumb got 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. Notions of hindu ism deep believe that might mundanity 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 totally marginalized 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 stay afloat they make all kinds of extremist arguments sometimes they have even bill that held responsible for some amount of violence so but i dont think its a very large group but only had this very tolerant and you know very sort of broadened progress a notion of nationalism which i think majority indians understand and thats why such extremist groups can never become the Mainstream Group in the country we trace the life of Mahatma Gandhi and a set of feature length reports you can watch them on the r. T. E. Documentary website and also the r. T. E. Documentary channel on you tube. He did make a good night but it didnt go through group but it did make token dr good night but again i again take it like. Hed love. To find a good thing british people do get independent but didnt fight might injure me too you know you cant do that in my haitian. To know he made them the media. That makes the money could be a film that makes gandhi could be a bad the next god he could be a 12 year old child it could be any of these people but we need the big sky which is what. The recent fire at a chemical factory in northern france has caused Major Public Health concerns but this week authorities in the city of ryan declared in the area safe there is no risk regarding asbestos fiber in the area the results of 3 a specialist tests are available. 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 habitats and there is no trace of pollution in the water so we have physical proof that the environment and wildlife are not currently effected by the pollution that occurred to the tool further away. In an attempt to calm the fears of the french government even set up an emergency helpline but locals are still deeply concerned for their health and deeply skeptical about authorities claims that the air is safe to breathe or to struggle to pinsky travel there for us. The Chemical Plant just across the water that was a blaze a sick plume of black smoke bellowed into the sky as firefighters battled almost 24 hours against the flames. In the dark goodies with 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 didnt 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 test 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 we 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. Complaining 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 work 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 the 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 terminus what to do with our produce so much on the fly ash was even reached as far as belgium and the netherlands raising concerns that the impact could be eve. You know why you joe reaching flags have also been raised for the health of the police and the firefighters who were on duty during the fire protests like this have now formed to pressure the authorities to outline any risks they make face they demanding answers but are afraid that even if they receive and that the danger is as a result of that place may not have made for months or even years from now challenge even ski altie rule. If in park a worker has been fired for doing in the ok gesture in a photo we will tell you why after a short break this is the weekly art international. On romper from the comes out of. The middle of the set of one of monk one of them. A fine actor 90. 3 hi im my. Month and. I dont. Call them from totally unknown to me a lot of the. Theatre someone who did the book. 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 you then. Back to the weekly on archie international now i feel park employee in florida has been fired for a seemingly innocent to hand gesture the former employee dressed as the character grew from despicable me made an upside down ok symbol when posting with a 6 Year Old Girl who is biracial the ok hand gesture has recently been recognized as a hate symbol americas Antidefamation League says that the once innocent 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 now last year a former white house employee who was accused of making the white power sign but her defenders pointed out that was probably unlikely because she is Mexican American and a descendant of Holocaust Survivors we asked our guests for their views on the story. I think its pretty ridiculous to label a thing like a bull or the ok symbol as a symbol of White Supremacy i feel like races do do certain things but i mean at a certain point they do everything 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 started his particular point sounds a little some of these things that have been in his ear things were a very long time with or a soused 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 part of it is like. 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 you know florist and but my point is you know is vastly out for instance and it was an indian sacred religious symbol 50500 years b. C. And you know. People in germany its ok to put it on a on a red flag and now it was a symbol it was an inverted this massive go and that became the symbol of nazism and 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 lonesome it wasnt a couple years ago where it was some kind of troll thing happening on the internet there it became so on those because the Mainstream Media picked it up and i think the whole purpose of trolling campaign was to trick the Mainstream Media into doing it and of course now we hear that the a. B. 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 there are certain symbols that seem innocuous but that are currently being used to. Incite violence and crime and you know fundamentalist political ideas that put this democracy in jeopardy it is not. It is in a sea of being if people want to use it for whatever when you want to use it for ok but you can see. Ok millions. Like. Verses do ok so i think it was not a hate symbol until it was. In india. Or the. Russian embassy in the u. S. Has sent a note of protest to the state department over the detention and questioning of a russian lawmaker in new york arties so i ask you taylor has. The Russian Foreign ministry reported on sunday that a member of the Russian Parliament into your russia was detained at the airport after flying into new york this week she described how she was led to a separate room documents were taken away from her and how for around an hour she was questioned by an f. B. I. Agent with the questions being described by the Russian Ambassador to the u. S. Some as unclear others as unacceptable what makes this quite curious is that after this interaction the f. B. I. Agent suggested that he and you washable go to a more informal setting a coffee shop in fact seemingly to continue the conversation now you must have a quote need to for relations with the u. S. Congress and she was actually flying in her professional capacity on a visit to the 4 for us somewhat ironically given it is a conference thats dedicated to improving dialogue between russia and the u. S. In moscow the Russian Foreign minister its disappointing. Over the incident saying that calling it really a hostile act that can only serve to wosm relations between the 2 countries and indeed noted that if the situation were a fuss there would undoubtedly be a huge outcry from washington so thats where we are at the moment you watched her said that she of course reported this to the russian authorities shes not going to provide any further comment tonight and shes going to wait for the diplomats to get to the bottom of the issue. Of violence sadness and fantasy just some of the themes you might expect to see when you visit an art gallery but londons Tate Britain Museum has deemed a warning necessary for a new exhibition of 1900 drawings by william blake. Illo. Never ever ever we need to see the visions of peoples minds not how wed like to be the loser they think they can get in this very very easily upon the world we live in you know were not interested in going to gallery of everythings planted in the congo julian but your species expects music and. I think youve got actions of religious grand scale that some tanks. And i suppose i would have issues if there is another Sexual Violence against women or anything like that that being when in fact i dont think. The bad press some put sex painted by our autistic considered by you to be inappropriate so we have noticed that facebook consistently rejects works of all peter paul rubens. Illo. Thousands of protesters rallied in ukraines capital kiev on sunday against a new peace plan for the countrys war torn east the demonstrators say the plan amounts to a capitulation to russia president s olinsky previously said that there would be no elections in ukraines breakaway regions until they were back under government control under the new roadmap down yes going lugansk will receive selfgoverning status once theyve heard a free and fair vote. A manhunt is underway for 2 suspects after a kansas city bar shooting in which 4 people were killed and 5 injured this according to police 2 gunman walked into the venue in the early hours of sunday and opened fire a bartender has told booker media that the dispute broke out when he refused to serve one of the suspects. In the Iraqi Government has approved a raft of new social reforms that military public unrest over dire Living Standards and mass unemployment since tuesday the country has been wracked by violence and corruption protests in which at least 104 people have been killed and more than 6000 injured Security Forces have repeatedly used live fire against demonstrators and be internet has been cut to most of the times was a dozen for me of the weekly this hour 34 minutes thats when ill be back with another look. What holds if you should continue to. Put themselves on the line. To get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be 1st interim we still want to be rich. But youd like to be 1st to see what before 3 of the 400 people get. Into st pauls in the waters of. Their ship. Thats geysers fine it will survive until they save money to develop. Close to these it is essential plug support dying at the limits of the problem right now so you stop. All. Cloning welcome to worlds apart the formation of a Constitutional Committee for syria has been billed as a sign of hope for the long suffering Syrian People the people skills hopes for peace were dashed too many times over the last 8 years is there any reason to believe that this time around things will be different well to discuss that im now joined by rounds in it as our dean of ramsi former deputy special envoy of the un secretarygeneral for syria mr ramsey its good to talk to you thank you very much for your time thank you very much for inviting me now you step down from based post if you. Months ago but im sure emotionally and professionally you still care about whats going on in syria given the scale of suffering given the scale of divisions how significant or insignificant is this latest development arent we all sort of overselling the whole that is there well 1st let me say that i remain of course very much attached and as you said emotionally involved with syria this is the 1st this is the reason why i took the job 1st with the u. N. To try to help bring about a settlement that would meet the aspirations of the Syrian People you know coming from the region being injured should i think you and your audience will understand that now the Constitutional Committee and i look at it as a milestone in the very long process in bringing about a peaceful settlement peaceful and political settlement in syria. It is something that weve been working for as you know for some time ive said it before no suit again i think we could have had it earlier it will help syrians you know to go to the opposition but also independents to put their minds together and work out. A new constitutional framework you know i think. Ambassador im sure you know that there have been a number of internationally mediated efforts to resolve this conflict since 2011 and some of them failed because of the recalcitrance of the syrian actors many a well at least some of them failed because of the positions of foreign powers what has changed on the ground to give you this faint hope that you just articulated though its may lead to something beyond talks well 1st of all i mean you refer to the situation in. The world of the war is certainly warranted and i think people are tired in syria and beyond and i think this is. A mechanism that allows the syrians
