the, the, it's a challenge for freedom, a supporters of julian us on your outside that you case high court as, as legal team, making a final effort to stop that was to pro, from being expedited to america. wait faces nearly 200 years in prison. the rough and forces taking another front line town on the battlefield, following this week's capture of ideas. now with pushing ukraine even further back in the heart of san reach. will details emerging of the tragic killing of a 6 year old girl in gaza by is really forces as audio is released of a desperate phone call. she made enough final moments and scrapping the sanctions. the echo watched the block of west african nations, such as the listing,

the vast majority of restrictive measures against molly, but can't of 5. so on the share, off the months of tensions, it comes off of the trio of states. it has to be strengthened to, to quit the eco box. the quiz suck chip is a week in the world that's run down the hardest hitting stories since monday, but also highlight today's top kiddos as well. it's the sunday program or announcement. so the fate it was a blow at julian sondra, it is remaining in limbo. judges of the new pays high court have yet to make a ruling on his final appeal against being expedited to america. where he needs co founder is wanted stateside for publishing, a secret military and diplomatic files and the name from us video of an apache attack helicopter gunning down civilians in cold blood. if convicted a solid faces 175 years behind box to the

size, the protestors are crowding outside the court in london, demanding the immediate release of the 52 year old australian sancho is repeatedly feeding on well and prevent again from appearing at the hearing on tuesday as close try me. that means joined a make shift stage outside the building. they say he's being persecuted for simply revealing the truth. how the us pace is online. because they say don't questing these lines because that will defend our online. they have to admit that what they're doing is criminalizing journalism is personalizing literacy, and they're persecuting the journalist who expose them. julia has printed over 14 years, in one form of incarceration,

or end of the user to advance all of julian's human rights suspended. are you good with you this afternoon? on the easiest, e sweeney. he's in london just outside the high court in the british capital diets where the appeal hearing was taking place. not just behind closed doors, but also taking place in probably the smallest courtroom in the entire building. as we've not weeks the end of the to day co, henry painted charity and his own just potential expedition to the united states where he said 175 years in prison under the espionage ok. now his defense team, his lawyers, all heating cold, not say the judges in the original case have not taken properly into consideration other legit call cooktop in the white house. the with the say i to assassinate the

service owned on the streets of london. they said that this call save you phones over the insurance is given by the united states about his health and wellbeing. should he be expedited? these assurances have been displaced by obviously in some not so as not with the paper that they all written on. now they're saying they're a speech who's taking place now behind this, i'm a, a range of a sound you support, as we've heard about, the judges have deferred that decision that not taking that decision space so that verdict will be announced a late today. so we're having that that could possibly be more so forth. but of course, we'll keep you updated with the latest using the developers as we get. and we have a solid years extradition baffled now entering the final straight. a full mike, us intelligence officer and the host of the whistle below is program. don't cure yahoo! he's why read the different data which of these co founder is convicted, it'll endanger any john was trying to expose on uncomfortable tricks. and i think

that the, that the role that assigns you and what can be explained in the, in the reporting, the war logs reporting in afghanistan and iraq was positively heroic. we wouldn't have any idea what the american government was doing, ostensibly, in our name, in the name of the american people, had wiki leaks not told us. we wouldn't know the details of war crimes and crimes against humanity that were committed by american soldiers and uh, and service men. so we'll, we can lease it a debt of thanks a debt of gratitude for telling us what our government was doing. that's why i believe that said juliet assigned you and we can make should be celebrated, not prosecuted, not targeted, not assassinated in broad daylight in the streets of london. this is something that all americans should get behind is frankly, something that all american media outlets should get behind and they have not yet

done. so if juliet assigned is convicted, then every national security journalist in america is liable to be prosecuted under the espionage. they're not committing espn, i, they're committing journalism. so what's the goal? there is the goal to lock up your journalists in direct contravention of the constitution. and the justice department has become too vociferous candidates in his attempts to go after people that they deem to be leaders. now i think where the justice department is in danger of losing the case is they've also accused julian, a subject computer hacking. and there's literally no evidence that he asked anybody to hack into anything. i think it's clear that julian is a publisher and a journalist and that's what's going to come out at trial. i'm sorry to say that i don't believe anybody will be brought to justice. the decisions have already been

made, for example, not to prosecute the, the army personnel involved in the killing of reuters journalist and iraqi civilians in baghdad in what became known as the iraq war video, the, the, the killing video. now the statute of limitations has expired. similarly, for higher ranking military officials, people at the general officer level, they've committed war crimes and they haven't been prosecuted for those war crimes . now we've gone through another what 3 presidents, if they haven't been prosecuted by now, they won't be prosecuted. and while the western leaders have been decrying the loss of the russian political activist election of, i'll me quoting a hero, they certainly haven't shown any such sentiment to was julian a saw a person who has been and continues to risk his life for the freedom of the press, let's have a good luck. he bravely stood up, the corruption,

the violence. all the bad things if you have them arrested. the prosecutor for forever to the crimes. he says and the prison just held him nice solutions. the prison. he was a powerful voice for the truth. the

alexi and the vaal ne has been a brave leader who stood up against corruption and a talk or sing. he died for which he dedicated his whole life freedom. the world has lost freedom fighters are they said nobody was of extraordinary brutality as government the i would argue that it's closer to me in the high tech terrorist massages and nurses who was created nothing of value to utilize on the dirty work of others to make himself famous, he has to answer for wedding how it has done it. this guy is a traitor, a treasonous, and i'm not for the death penalty. so if i'm not the only way to do it illegally shoot the son of a or the

. yeah, this is out of the international, so russian forces are advancing on the battlefield. they're now taking a key location in the heart of southern region. that's according to the nation's defense minister in his report to the russian president of going to this issue. the village of cranky has been cleared and our forces are standing all along the river bank. it's not just an observation point. our troops are stationed there, operating at maximum efficiency, some individual enemies soldiers remain on the left bank of the deep river. we are working on that they are being offered a chance to surrender. now this comes out just days off the rush or announce that had captured of the in the don't ask republic city which had been under the control of kids forces of almost a decade. and the by hope at the strategic area took many months before k. all

think retreats by ukrainian force. in fact, as a key of troops left the city, they abandoned the ammo, stockpiles, and all the western supplied weapons of war. among them to this uh, us, made on the personnel carrier. now, a trophy being towed away by russian forces, at least 2 such vehicles have been recovered enough to go so far. that moscow says he has lost nearly 3000 soldiers during its retreat. russian forces also took back the main water filtration plot which supplied the number of cities and the republic, including the regional capital don't ask. and from there is all corresponding reporting. it's a you could have done off this is the, the nets quote of filtering plants and until early 2022, it used to provide fresh wood safe use to provide access to fresh water for the entire city. in early 2020 to kind of switch sides, it used to be in the grey zone, kind of the no man's land according to the mask agreements and the ukrainians. they

were the 1st to gain a foothold here. the 1st thing they did, the 1st order of business for them here was to deny was to strip citizens of the nets of something as basic as the right as the access to tap water. the station hasn't been a safe place for years. it's operating company would have to repeatedly implement shut downs to ensure workers safety back then all hopes were pinned on the o is see, and it's you and backed monitoring mission and it's piece major skills. now the station that provided water for over a 1000000 people looks like this. the

you to call was that we took your update, read the scripture on the wall, left by the unit to enter the territory of the batted station. fast little because we're no significant bottles here. but it's an interesting story because we're preparing for the salt and how to make our way through the tunnels. here. in the end everything happens so spontaneously, or drill and dropped leaflets, calling for surrender in the red, we will kill you and had the phone number of our division commanders and they called and said that they wanted to surrender. we gave them half an hour, so they jumped out of their positions. and then a chain reaction began. then emmys fled from of they ask of that is there were no harsh clashes. they simply fled and were shot as they ran away, throwing their weapons, the 2 issues. it won't be soon until this facility will be able to pump the water

to people's kitchens and bathrooms. ukraine still holds hostage the river of saber ski the next. the main water supply of the don't pass rusher has to claim control over its upstream too. so the issue, clues of black smoke rising on the horizon show that it is doing just that i guess done of approaching from the don't boss. ok. see uh for my senior security policy analyst at dependent on mike goldman move, he says the last that idea of god could mock a point of no return on the battlefield for you. the f desk is a turning point. it's the beginning of what i would see as a cascading effect of a russian offensive to finally route ukrainians out of a areas that they've long held. and they, they are totally on the defensive now. and if you hit in a number of areas, at the same time, it disperses their,

their concentration of forces even more. and because they're already depleted, and they claim to have little of every emission, uh, this makes their task even more arduous. i think people are seeing that with the have the skin and everything else, the other just going to be throwing good money after bad. yeah. and is that the, even the europeans are seamless now. they're having hard time. even nato countries are having a hard time coming up with funds to give to the, to do to buy equipment for ukraine. the congress isn't coming back for almost 2 weeks. and when it comes back on the 28th february on march, 15th partial is going to be a partial shutdown of the us government. because congress will only have 3 days to, to come up with any kind of funding. it has to be any before parts of the government shut down. so the congress, the, the, the funding of ukraine is not the highest priority right now in the us

congress. right over to india, now with ships from the russian navies, pacific fleet arrived to take part in multi lateral maple drills on your screens. coming up right now, you'll see one of the war ships talking off and one of india's ports. it's set to take part in exercises titled, midland 2024. the visit of the russian to say it is or portly last for over a week. must go send a miss ald cruiser and the forget to join in the dream of the story. now the terrifying final moments of a 6 year old girl named gaza hoping vividly revealed the palestine red crescent has released an audio recording of a frantic phone call. pleading for help after is ready for us is open file on the very ca that she was travelling in last month. and the sooner than have them in. huh.

i really big cough i had a yes. it had the 12 days later in the job was found dead along with a family members inside that car. lots more. a team of red crescent medic sent to rescue her. they will oh phone near by that as well. next to set this to take a closer look at the human tragedy. now it just a one of so many to occur in the and baffled palestinian named the we are calling the civilians to leave guys it goes from us, wants to keep them there as a human shield. this is innocent.

civilians are going to be hard to sign on. i see all the civilians and one in the time. i will not forgive those who let haine down when they could have helped her because she was alive up until the last moment. the may i have the model. i'm the,

the the one the the what you see another has a seal done inside my a can hearts because of what happened to my daughter when she wasn't because she was going through the most extreme scene. you could probably imagine leon was in the car with her spite lead being more severely injured. my daughter, she tried to save him and started asking us how to provide 1st aid. at that moment when they showed me and my daughter told me, mom lien has a booth and her face to face looks carry. and i told her to call the her face as that hidden under the seats. the occupation forces claimed the only talking time

off. only the terrorist so what about my daughter and the other children in the call? they are not to mouse or any kind of tourist. 6 3 we are having constant hands kind of regarding the safety of our sons and our work up to this moment. 45 hours have passed and we don't know where the feet of our uses and my head to serve the girls the time they might be. i said the words because we will not. the only thing we want to know is what's happened for the 6 years old girl. she was a true inside the floors living in the hotter and distracting the

car with her and 6 other bodies from family members who were killed in front of it. i. i can't even find the words to describe the headers. i went to you went to this one. when that i left the 15 years old. she was tim, over the phone when she was at the one who was missing. she was saying, surrounding, but they are fighting. and then our team have here and this continuous function, the, the, the others are full of

the house. they just headed over to her when she 1st came on to fire. everyone could have helped us, but they didn't go and they didn't help her. she had a dream to return to a home. we were displaced right from the 1st day the, the palestine red crescent society is heart broken by the tragic ending of the story of the 6 year old hen. and the p. r. c. s. ambulance crew members. use of zeno and ahmed all my doing. when these humanitarian heroes were given the green light to rescue the little girl, we never expected this and this bombing of humanitarian workers must be condemned.

our thoughts are with hands, family, as well as the families of yusef announcement, the stringent sanctions slapped on molly, unbroken a fast. so by the echo watch, group of west african states have suddenly being lifted. and the block had recently made a similar concession to was, needs a while, leaving some still in place. and it comes off of the trio of nations that actually starting to quit the eco watch grouping, the people on the streets of new jazz capital, the same celebrating the decision by echo was, ruining goes into effect immediately. however, the bulk maintaining the southern political sanctions are still imposed on age and are offered to i painted the leadership in the country last year. i look a report at timothy will be a students, but a few more things. we have 40 of heads of state and complement of that court said

the decision to lift economy stance was imposed on these. there was based on humanitarian consideration, citing the hoss imparts of the sanctions on citizens and regional economy. f was suspended the closer of latin airport as between its members states, and these are the freezing of assets and all service transactions, including utilities and the travel ban on government officials. and we have family members as with verse the suspension of missouri from regional financial assistance and transactions for the reason of upsets target of individual santos and political censors. liked limited access to f. west summits and minister of sessions will hold firm. political sanctions has not been lifted of the board, the blues have been lifted on commercial sanctions have been

lifted by the targets. it functions as well as political assumptions that 3 made in force. a course also called for the immediate and often based on all release of all said, missouri and president mohammed pursuing the extraordinary summit from space off a general. yeah, people got one material, former head of space, and one of the founding fathers of the regional blocks made of lead to the block to reconsider its measures to restore constitutional order in the region for the sake of regional integration. but the decision to lift the band comes out of the critical john to for it, pull us on january the 20th, the newly formed alliance of the hell, which includes molly leisure and for 10 o'clock to announce, withdrawn from the bluff on the grounds at the airport had viewed it from its founding ideals, and was found the range of far inside was airports, denies these allegations, my dear and president wallet suitable, who also doubles as the air force to set the commission is put in its citizens 1st

and said mazar molly and what can a possible also not perceive the commission as the enemy demo? chris is nothing more than the political frame work on the past. so addressing the basic needs and aspiration of the people. this is why with moss, the exam in the course to approach to request for post solution uh for that info of our main by states. and you have full arch in total cost is that the division of these 3 missions through x h o notes to by steve and nice ation. it has the n l course was traded in 1975 to promote economy

prosperity among member states. but it has been struggling to deal with a wave. of course, in recent years, the block was criticized for being heavy handed on these are off of the july also freshman. assume. last week, the alliance of the house, they said it was working to create a confederation and may soon welcome a new car and see known as the house. but for now, it is not clear what may happen next or with lifting sanctions can restore the trust in the regional block, which may have been broken. timothy or peasy? archie approved the material. oh yeah, and my colleagues ask you taylor sat down here in the studio with canyon independent list. can both see what a to discuss, the latest changes in west africa, evidence and i'm really not surprised. i was expecting this to happen. the reason is that the course itself since is formation of deliver nothing in west africa, internal it's week. and when we talk about the agenda,

one of the cutting out and the fact that in africa today, there is a rising voice of new generation of leaders who just want to think about this. people are not about the global same questions that felt very abundant, especially when convent can do on our own. when many things happen because of the associate comic and political situation that's going see that to the to really of get was if any of that either with that relationship, the relationship, especially with the, the west ton welch has been largely because it's been exploitative. very convinced, sending bits time there's a problem like in those regions, especially when we're talking about the most of them, french speaking friends, as well as responded by sending in troops or successfully to protect its own interests, to the interest of it as so i was not surprised that these 3 states to the ground. so can you anticipate that the 3 countries are going to change their mind and stick

with that class? i think it's really just a question of changing their minds. this thing with nicholas the attending the rest of the wall and it was you going to listen to us story. we've got something to say . there is a reason we don't you don't mind. we didn't just wake up on monday and say, we taking over the power delete is when they're seeing us before type video video and fully quotes with the colonial must us with the they have never walk for the interest of the people with suffolk as being that list faced and some of the main point, the end of a teen nexus and did the rich in mineral resources who is taking home in roles. and that is a student that is the african continent. every african fast enough to think about. we have a wealth, but dependence, a way of poverty is really something that is a beginning to have a very serious discussion enough in ways to watch play know. so i, we might as well talk about that as well. i mean, we'll this, you know, that it has been approved to unplug the history of your pen colonialism on the

continent. do you still feel that, although, like you said, a sense simply the days of cleaning? that's my gone. but a new colonialist mentality pervades uh, western government and clauses to this day. it's a truly the new colonialist state is west then of the actual colonial period. because there is this message i see and very evil because it sucks the blind of the country with the false billing that you can manage. your state's affairs have been menu of things and digital conditions, ugly, the. but that is not even. this is not a question to see. we can talk last week for 5 minutes is to to, to like a baby. yeah. and, and even a baby wasn't a b, b, s. a child tell us that no gift of instruction or dropping out the program here on out to you as a loan must because slammed the google offer it pools. there's new gemini, a i tool, which reeks of liberal work is of nonsense. he said.
