and i know you can feel the hairs on the back of your neck standing up when you reach the top of that building and get that great view. metropolis on al jazeera, we know what's happening in our region. we know, have them get to places that others and not as far as i said, i'm going the way that you tell the story is what can make a difference with this is al jazeera ah hello sir. hello robin. you're watching the algebra news. i live from our headquarters here in doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. the high court in london closed the way for the wikileaks founded treating a soldier to face trial in the us valley. king military secrets. cities at miramar, fall silent to protest, military rule as international concern,

mounts at killing spike government forces receiving the nobel peace prize journalist, maria resar, all the philippines and russian. dimitri metatags honored for helping protect freedom of expression and falls to leave their homes by any means possible. thousands in cameroon, flea as heard as farmers and fishermen fight over shrinking water resources and how much lists for the quarter finals add the fee for our carp are underway. anton is yeah, the 13 to read the semi after to on victory over all mine. all the goals later in the news, our ah, welcome to the news are the wiki, leak star, the julian assault just lost his latest bed to stop extradition to stand trial in

the us for leaking military secrets, the high court in london overturned an earlier ruling that assange would be a suicide risk if he lost sanctuary in britain. that he barber begins our coverage from london. oh, the support is of julian assange. it's a worried moment. 2 judges at the high court in london have ruled the wiki leaks, found a can be extradited to the united states, to face espionage charges, as and his partner with whom he has 2 young children, was there to hear the decision. it's been almost a year since i stood outside court with our victory as the blocking of the extradition for the past year. and the past year, 2 years and a half julia has remained in bell marsh prison. and in fact, he has been detained since the 7th of december 2010 in one form for another 11 years for how long can this go on?

the decisions based on assurance is presented by lawyers for the u. s. government at october's appeal hearing. they said assigns wouldn't be subject to solitary confinement or held at a maximum security prison. they also said they had diplomatic assurances he could serve any prison sentence in his native australia. judges here effectively decided there was now no reason to believe assigns would be a clear suicide risk, which the original ruling had found. the u. s. once assange to face trial over the release in 2010 of thousands of classified military documents relating to the u. s . was in afghanistan and iraq. but amnesty international has denounced the decision saying the u. s. charges represent a serious threat to press freedom. something echoed by his supporters. ricki lake was the organization of whistleblowers. it made it absolutely safe and secure for whistleblowers to her to bring the truth to the public.

all he has done as tell the truth and on his gen, adonis. albright is upset daily. it's but he has done his job to tell us what's going on. this decision is clearly a big setback for the campaign to free julian a science, but it's already taken years to get to sports and it could be a long time before we know definitively whether he'll be sent to the united states . the case has been sent back to the lower court, so a judge can refer the extradition to home secretary, pretty patel. but julian assigned his legal team so they'll try to lodge an appeal with the supreme court, challenging the american assurances that he won't be treated humanely. nadine baba al jazeera london, both wild as an associate professor of international law at the university college london and joins me from the british capital. mister, while could have you with us on the program. i mean, what's your initial reaction to the verdict? was it expected? i think it's very important to appreciate that this is a very narrow finding, concerned with the specific issue of concerns relating to the mental

state of julian assange and the consequences on that of him being extradited to, to the u. s. and the extradition decision hinged on all the risk to that particular rather than own any broader consideration about whether or not for example, somebody who did what he did should be tried. i saw or tried certainly in, in the u. s. b, these proceedings weren't about these proceedings, were specifically concerned with the risk to his mental health of the particular condition that he would be held in in the us both in terms of the pre trial conditions. and then if he were to be convicted,

it seems very obvious that the court has been convinced now by the americans or by lawyers in a british court. they can make sure that mr. sanchez as well, but is upheld you might say if he were extradited when this now goes back down to a lower court as it will before it goes to it seems the home secretary, what will that lower court have to consider? so just to clarify that the case was, the appeal was brought by not the u. s. government bought by the crown prosecution service, the u. k. o. forward that was acting to respond to the extradition request, which is an international request between 2 countries, between the u. s and the u. k. so that discharging the obligation to respond to an international request by another state for an extradition. so this

gps brought this appeal and they brought before the, the high court, the state, the important statement made by the us subsequent to the initial district judge decision. whether us gave these additional assurances about the conditions that julian would be held in. and it was on particular basis taking those assurances by the us at face value that the high court concluded that for that there were there was no longer an impediment on this particular basis. okay, that yet, we're sorry, mr. while we've gone through that. so what does the local now have to can? what does the lower court have to consider now as the case precedes?

so the, the low court has been asked to the magistrate court has been asked to send the case to the secretary of state prison to tell to, to decide whether the extradition should go ahead. 2 things to, to know that firstly they may be an appeal of this high court decision, in which case that this decision to could to take a phase valley. this your, this is made given by the us could be challenged. and therefore that would not then lead immediately to a magistrate court direction. so i magistrate court sending the case to the secretary of state that could happen. so we could go to this to further appeal supreme court, pap star,

which is supreme court perhaps even to the open course of human rights. and then separately the secretary of state has fell discretion. ok. so there's a issue about the decision sheet. i'm not trying to talk too much because i think basically, i think you've painted the picture for us that we're now in a huge legal minefield court case to politicians deciding what the faith of julian assault and yet that could the core issue here is about the fact, and the decision that journalists make to tell the truth and free speech, and that we have this case that's just been evolving over the last several years. and over in norway, we have the representation of, of 2 journalists and 2 different countries awarded the nobel prize for maintaining the high standards of journalism that they possibly can under bear very difficult internal situations. it doesn't let you think about the role of journalists and what can be said, and what can't be said in 2021. so your reference to no way

comes back just in a moment, but of course, thinking about no way in the navy. one also has to remember sweden and women who been denied justice as well in the separately legal proceedings that were attempted in connection with the allegations concerning sexual offences. it's very important to acknowledge that there is another sets of issues concerning denial of justice which continued. but on the issue all that you raised was striking a course is that that was not being determined today in these legal, in his judgment. and so adjustment very narrowly concerned with conditions of treatment is not and did not address the broader very important issue. res, about the balance that has to be struck between on the one hand,

maintaining confidential state secrets for security purposes and on the other hand, the very important public interest served by my whistle blows and leaks as far as all of those understanding will stay. think governments do in our name and the significant journalism, the consequences that has for the question of freedom of expression and freedom of information. none of that has been considered in this particular decision. however, even if julian sands is successfully transferred to the us, those issues will be res, no doubt, in the proceedings that he paces that so that although they weren't at this stage

in this particular determination, it's not the, the possibility for those considerations to play a role this extradition is one issue. the, the trial itself is another. we shall sit and see what happens if somebody rock while thanks so much for joining us from london. thank you. now silent protests against military rule in mamma have been held in several cities. they include the deserted streets of the commercial capital, young gone. the silence has been seen as a safe way to protest as to the brutal crackdown or mass demonstrations following the king. in february, the video is reported to show the bodies of 10 people killed in the north western district of se gang 20 triangles more. in a scene too gruesome to show a camera pans from pulls of blood to a clearing with a pile of charred bodies. we are deeply concerned by the reports of the horrific killings of 11 people in salon g township in northwest some young region in myanmar

who reportedly shot and burnt by military on tuesday morning in an apparent retaliation. for recent military attack militia attacks, credible reports indicate that 5 children were among those people killed. at the scene, in voices cranking with emotion, men vowed to avenge those that have died. the parent really is really something that into paid so long for the people to be a mom to so good man, most military have shown no mercy for those that oppose the crew. on sunday, as a flash mob, a protest is took to the streets. a military truck drove into the crowd, but speed. 5 people killed dozens more injured and arrested. since the coo and february, mamma's military have faced increased opposition from peaceful civilian protest is

on the streets and increasingly from armed and surgeon groups like this one. the corona nationalities, defense falls despite the harsh conditions in the jungle training camps. and the threat of attack from the military. these new recruits felt they had little choice with other than or no, nina, we never expected this revolution would happen. at 1st, we were protesting peacefully law, but didn't work, and we never thought we would be in the jungle fighting against the military. but it is what we have to face grammar yet as the atrocities mount up, the protest continue. this flash mob hit the streets of young gun as news at the sentencing of anson, so cheat a 2 years in jail, was released. she like the other democratically elected leaders of mamma, may now be locked up, but a younger generations. taking up the fight against military rule, tony cheng meltzer. investigation is taking place of the $54.00 migrants were

killed in mexico when the overcrowded truck overturned. now the vehicle was heading for the united states that the 55 from central america suffered injuries in cheapest state mental republic has more from mexico city. on the warning that some of the images are disturbing in his report. a horrifying scene in southern mexico. dozens of body scattered on the side of the road after a truck, reportedly carrying more than 100 people in its cargo container, flipped on its side, was not an element of fortunately, the reaction from all as delusions, red cross fire fighters, he lived with action, was really fast, we hoped that people taken to the gomez must a hospital to st. westover and 2 other hospitals will be able to recover. emergency responders could be seen pulling bodies from the wreck. authorities believe most, if not all of the victims are migrants from central america money. for concord, i can go to some of them told us they were from one good us of all ages. sadly,

we already have some debts, mexico's president, under this manuel lopez over to the lord, offered his sympathies and condolences to the families of the victims over twitter . national immigration observers say, accidents like these are not uncommon in southern mexico. experts say policy, enforced by the mexican government that prevents migrants from leaving southern mexico is creating overcrowded conditions at migrant camps and forcing many to grow desperate in, in, in, in the finished you. my grants. having prevent that from moving indefinitely, some with 3 to 6 months, with no work on the streets, a mass migrants actually having a difficult time on their inhumane conditions. migrants have been known to cram into large trucks where they faced many risks, including kidnapping, extortion, and deadly accidents about will repair josefina from mexico city. this is a very complicated case, manuel because they got to find out who survived,

who died and where they came from. that's absolutely right, a lot of a lot of moving parts here considering the fact that many, if not all of the victims are believed to be migrants from central america. as you heard in that report, many of the people from honduras and also from guatemala. unfortunately, since our last broadcast, there has been an update on that death told we can confirm that at least 55 people are confirmed dead from that heroic tragic accident that took place in the southern state of chiapas. here in mexico, the accident itself took place just outside of the city of duke's law, which just to give you an idea is about 300 kilometers north of mexico's border with guatemala and the head of civil protection from the city of troops. le, basically put it this way so that this was a truck that was speeding down the highway when it took a band on the road and flipped over and again, the result was 55 casualties. but what we're hearing as well is that there were

anywhere between 10200 people crammed in the back of that truck. so it leaves very little room for doubt that this was the, what we're talking about. here's a case of people smuggling, possibly a case of human trafficking now. so my witnesses said that they saw many people flee the scene. people, survivors who got up, many of them were injured, covered in blood, fleeing the scene, presumably out of fear that they might be captured by immigration authority. so again, many people here folks who are paying very close attention to changing immigration policies in mexico, pointing to to a policy of containment that's forcing many people to grow desperate and take to the road where they face these types of risks like deadly accidents. we've heard from the president of mexico, the president of guatemala, weighing in, even the pope, offering his condolences to the families. the united nations has put out a statement saying that so far this year there have been more than $4470.00 migrant

deaths. that includes men, women, and children so far, just in 2000, and when he won already surpassing the total for 2020 mexico's national migration institute has offered humanitarian visas to the survivors of this accident, mexico's president. and this manual hope is over the other one has also said that the mexican government will cover the cost of the repatriation for the bodies of the of these migrants and cover the cost of the funerals as well. of course, no word as of yet in terms of any criminal charges that that have been filed. so i would say a story with many moving parts. as you say, manuel will come back to you with a further update. i'm sure in the not too distant future. thank you. but plenty more had have the news are including 100, gather in the gulf strip to celebrate over 3 decades since the founding of hamas making it sounds alive, but only just we hear from a victim of the fight against all groups in the democratic republic of congo. and

ago. her acceptance speech was powerful and passionate railing against the digital giants, which she said are twisting democracy with what she described as their surveillance capitalism. going back without facts, you can't have truth. without truth, you can't have trust without trust. we have no shared reality, no democracy. her co laureate dmitri murder tough has been one of russia's most prominent, independent journalists since 1993. when he established the newspaper and avaya ozetta, fearlessly criticizing the kremlin and exposing human rights abuses and corruptions, emer, 6 of its journalists have been killed since the year 2000 at this meeting. there were tears in the audience as he list of the names of the dead was used, an old arab proverb, to explain why his newspaper perseveres will come here on greece. come if dog, if he is a car, when the dogs bark the caravan keeps walking into government, sometimes derisively say this about journalists that we barkley,

a speech recently, she says that her message, so that will be clear, it's time to get on the front foot and join us in advance. in the front is a freedom. it's time to dump the package, ditch the interest introspection and step forward proud of who we are and what we stand for ready to shape the world a need. what is all that mean? well, according to this try, since the end of the cold war, the free will to she puts it is beat in a kind of period of drift. beset by bad is bad policies. the bad i did, she says all to do with post modernism, this lack of kind of belief, an objective truth, too much hand wringing about the past and the responsibilities of rich will countries for their own history, bad practices. she says that countries like china and russia, hopefully able to shoulder the way to the for because the free wells has been to dependence on cheap energy. and it's had the falling dis,

defense spending and things like that. she will use examples like what's been going on in ukraine recently, the heightened tension between the ukranian government and russia and call on on other countries to run round ukraine and to, to push back against russia. and she will also be arguing that that has to be some pushback against china as well. it's, it's model of financing in countries around the world that she would say makes them dependence on chinese money. it's a riley and call it inspire racial riley and cry is just depends on whether any of her counterparts in the other g 7 countries. i going to listen for each hollins in liverpool, 4th. thank you. well, still had here on the news. i will tell you why indian bombers have ended
